Nong Fuquan, who is 37 years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, is just an ordinary Hong Kong fisherman, in mainland parlance, called a professional aquaculture household. Because he had lived on a fishing raft for many years, the "cataclysm" did not bring him danger. Once on a desert island, his farming skills earned him a place in the world, and he provided the main meat for the survivors. Now in a new time and space, he has gained a broader world, and the management committee appointed him as the deputy director of the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture. However, although the official was sealed, his job was still the old job - fish farming and providing seafood for the Guangfu Army.

At this time, he was driving an armed fishing boat on the sea of Sai Kung, Hong Kong. Because Lamma Island in the new time and space was still a sparsely populated place, and there were pirates in the vicinity from time to time, the navy could not take care of it, so the Ministry of Agriculture decided to place the breeding site in Sai Kung, which is not too far from Kowloon. Moreover, the survivors who begged for a living on the water, even if they did not join the navy, had to work part-time in the coast guard, and the same was true for Nong Fuquan, who later raised fish in Saigon, and had to be responsible for the coastal guard from Clear Water Bay to the Dapeng Peninsula. The Coast Guard is a newly established local garrison force, directly led by the Command, whose main responsibilities are coastal patrols, cracking down on piracy and smuggling, which is equivalent to the border armed police of the original time and space, but only the establishment is still recruiting. Nong Fuquan, the deputy captain of the third detachment of the coast guard, is still the commander of the light pole.

Nong Fuquan's armed fishing boats, numbered 10 anti-aircraft guns, were the latest trophies of the material collection team, which allowed the conversion of six armed fishing boats and greatly increased the maritime power of the Liberation Army. In addition to the nine gunners, the ship also carried more than a dozen survivors who were ordinary laborers, and today's job was to pull the fishing rafts on the sea in Saigon from the original plane to the new plane.

Similar to Nong Fuquan's case, more than a dozen fishermen have survived in Saigon's fishing rafts, and the survival rate of those living in isolation is always higher in the face of contagious disasters. Nong Fuquan had already come to visit them yesterday, and although these people were skeptical, they all expressed their willingness to join the gang.

The armed fishermen slowly approached the fishing row, and the fishermen who had been waiting for a long time gathered around, looking at the anti-aircraft guns on the bow of the boat, and everyone was worried. Nong Fuquan didn't do much to make a noise, and immediately called on everyone to do their work, so many fishing rafts had to be dismantled and dragged to a new time and space, and the workload was still very large. An hour later, armed fishing boats dragged the first three rows forward. The person in charge of this operation, Li Weizhi, who had been promoted to the captain of the material collection team, drove a small boat to open a space-time passage in front.

New Plane: The Sea of Saigon

A Canton ship dropped anchor, and five or six small rowing boats were shuttling back and forth between it and the coast, and the people on the Canton boat unloaded boxes of cargo onto the dinghy, which were then brought to the shore.

The nine-headed Jiao stood on the side of the ship, watching the coolies busily move boxes and unload. He is in his forties, five short in stature, but extraordinarily strong. The long life at sea had darkened his skin, and the scar on his left cheek made his face look even more hideous. He was more than ten years old under the hands of Wu Boss, with the courage to fight, it took nearly 30 years to mix from a small minion to a share of the shopkeeper, and in Guangdong and Fujian, he also mixed up the name of "Nine-headed Jiao", so that no one remembered his real name.

In the past two years, there have been many wars on the ground in Guangdong, first foreigners and the imperial court have started fighting, and then shorthair and foreigners have started fighting, and the capitalless business at sea has become more and more difficult to do, and the big guys have to make a living by themselves. This time the transaction was introduced by a family who lived in Dapeng, helping a merchant surnamed Chen transport a batch of tobacco soil, and the reward of thousands of taels made Jiutou Jiao, who had not received his account for several months, have to be tempted and make a cameo appearance as the owner of a cargo ship.

After the shorthair occupied Xin'an, they vigorously banned opium, causing the price of opium to soar within the county. The stricter and stricter checks on the land route made the opium fortune go-getter to the sea.

Five days ago, in Da Nang, Annam, he received more than 200 boxes of opium from a British ship and went all the way to the sea off Kowloon without any danger. Carefully avoiding the short-haired warships, under the guidance of a guide sent by the cargo owner, they reached the sea of Saigon. Saigon one, around the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. From the third year of Yongle of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty to the eighth year of Xuanzong Xuande, the Ming Empire sent Zheng He to "go to the West" seven times. After these seven voyages to the West, many countries in East and West Asia, the Middle East coast, and East Africa also paid tribute or trade to the Ming Kingdom. At that time, Saigon was a port where tributary ships from the West docked. Over time, it became known as "Saigon", which means "tribute from the west". The area is remote from Sai Kung Market, where only fishermen live, and even in the 21st century, Hong Kong's second-largest administrative region had a population of only 150,000. Now it is even more sparsely populated, except for the occasional fishing boats passing by, it is inaccessible, and it is a good place for smuggling. Even the short-haired cruiser has never come, just waiting for the cargo to be unloaded and the final payment received, and he can leave this place of right and wrong early.

"Ninth Master, don't be bored! It's very safe here. "The person who spoke was the steward and guide sent by the owner of the goods, Xu saw the anxiety of the nine-headed Jiao, and opened his mouth to reassure." The short-haired land division was very powerful, but the sailors were far worse than the British, with fewer ships, and most of them were small boats, so they could not compete with the British at sea. As long as they don't meet that gunboat, they can't help you at sea. "If there are Longgang people present now, you will find that the person who spoke is Chen Tianqiao, the second housekeeper of the Chen Mansion.

Jiutou Jiao thought about it and agreed with the second housekeeper's statement. For the sake of safety, he also sent two of his cannonboats to cruise around the perimeter, one to act as a guard, and the other to lure the short-haired gunboats away if they really came. As long as you escape to the open sea, short-haired ships generally do not operate too far offshore. The nine-headed Jiao took out the clairvoyant mirror, looked around again, and instructed his subordinates around him, "Tell the little ones to move quickly!" ”

The coolies were forced by the pirates to speed up, and just as the nine-headed Jiao was secretly glad that it was about to end, he suddenly noticed that a point of light appeared on the surface of the sea a mile away from him, and then it grew larger and larger, and slowly turned into a piece of glass. The people on both the boat and the dinghy were attracted by this vision, and they all stopped what they were doing.

The armed fishing boat broke through the light curtain, and the people on board only felt a slight pinprick feeling and traveled through time and space, crossing a distance of more than 150 years. When his eyes adjusted to the scene in front of him, the gunners first spotted the suspicious Canton ships and small boats on the sea, and through the binoculars he found the gun ports on the outboard side of the Canton ships, and he reacted quickly, sounding the battle alarm while rushing to the gun position. Nong Fuquan, who was driving the boat, also knew that he had encountered an emergency, but he had no experience at all and didn't know how to deal with it. Or a training battalion leader who was with the boat next to him said: "Push up!" Keep a distance of two hundred meters and circle the big ship. "At the same time, people were asked to untie the cable of the stern fishing raft.

The strange ship that suddenly rushed out of thin air startled the nine-headed Jiao, and soon he saw the ship rushing towards him, and the red and blue flag on the mast he had already heard was the flag of the short-haired sailor. secretly screamed bad luck, and shouted at his subordinates: "What are you doing in a daze? Go and hoist the sails! ”

The panicked second housekeeper grabbed him, "Ninth Master, Ninth Master, fire quickly!" I'm going to be killed by Shorthair! ”

The nine-headed Jiao, who was furious in his heart, spat on the second housekeeper's face, and then kicked the latter aside, "Your ninth master is not dead yet!" Don't call for mourning here! Having said that, he instructed the gunners to prepare. The strange boat crossed twenty feet away, and then circled around the canton boat, and the three small boats that were waiting to be unloaded originally wanted to scatter and escape, but the speed of the strange boat was faster than they imagined, and the small boats that did not want to throw themselves into the net retreated back and turned their backs to the cantons to seek protection.

At this time, a loud human voice came from the horn of the armed fishing boat, "Attention boats ahead!" We are the Coast Guard of the Liberation Army, and now we order your ship to lower the sails immediately and accept our inspection! Get checked by us! Nong Fuquan looked at the squad leader who was shouting with a microphone next to him, and felt that this passage was very familiar. This kind of thing happened only a few days after he arrived, and he couldn't help but wonder if the decision to join the Liberation Army was correct.

Suddenly, the fire on the side of the Guangzhou boat flashed, and a puff of smoke rose up, and Nong Fuquan subconsciously shrank his neck. But the people around him didn't move, which made him feel very shameless. The cannonball hit a column of water on the sea surface seventy or eighty meters away, and Nong Fuquan's heart was relieved. The gunner, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately made the decision to return fire, and under his command, the main shooter aimed at the gun position where the gun had just fired. After a short shot, a figure was seen planted on the mast of the ship, and the survivors of the armed fishing boat burst into cheers, only the gunner and the main shooter looked at each other, and they were obviously not aiming there.

Hirofune's lookout hand was accurately hit by live ammunition, and the huge kinetic energy scattered him in half from his abdomen, and the lower half of his body fell into the sea, while the upper half of his body smashed on the deck. Blood and internal organs flowed from the wound in the lower abdomen to the deck, making the surrounding area filled with a strong smell of blood, even the pirates who have always licked blood with knives felt miserable, those coolies who came to move goods where had they seen this battle, many people lay on the ground and vomited, and the second steward fainted directly.

The tragic situation of the lookout hand made the nine-headed Jiao also feel cold, but he knew that he couldn't show his cowardice, if he let his cowardice affect his morale, he would have to explain it here today. He yelled at his dead-faced men, "Shoot the cannon!" Hurry up! If you don't want to die, don't stand stupid! If you can't run today, your silver woman will have to cheapen others. The desire to survive made the pirates pluck up some morale, and everyone shouted and got busy, and they did their best to escape. A coolie was about to escape by jumping out of the side of the boat, but was caught by a claw of the nine-headed Jiao, and turned into a headless corpse when he fell with a knife in his hand. Blood splattered the pirate leader's face, making him look like a demon from hell, "No one is allowed to run!" Let's all go and hoist the sails! ”

The survivors thought that the anti-aircraft gun fire would make the people on the board realize the reality, but they did not expect to answer them with the roar of more artillery, and the gunner was so angry that he shouted: "Hit me hard!" So the anti-aircraft guns began to spit flames again. At the request of the gunner, Nongshanquan shortened the distance between the two ships to a hundred meters, which improved the accuracy of the anti-aircraft guns a lot. The only four guns on the Canton were quickly muted, and one of them ignited the powder keg with a torch in his hand after the gunner was hit, causing a series of detonations and igniting a raging fire. The pitiful morale of the pirates was soon completely destroyed by the ruthless facts, and many of them had jumped into the water to escape despite the threat of the nine-headed Jiao, and the three boats fled in all directions regardless of the danger of being caught by the Restoration Army.

Seeing that the pirates had no power to fight back, the spear commander asked Nong Fuquan to slowly lean over, and the people who fell into the water turned their heads and swam in other directions when they saw the short-haired ship coming, and these people were all named one by one without exception. Nong Fuquan's face showed an unbearable look, and the squad leader explained: "Most of these pirates are smuggling opium, and resisting arrest by force is a capital crime. And they saw the space-time portal, and they couldn't keep them alive for the sake of secrecy. Nong Fuquan nodded, and accepted this statement.

The fire on the Canton ship grew bigger and bigger, and from time to time gunpowder was ignited and exploded, and the gunners gave up their intention to board the ship, and let Nong Fuquan cruise on the surface of the sea, while the soldiers continued to shoot those who fell into the water with rifles. Some saw the boat coming from a distance, and a fierce man plunged into the water and wanted to dive, but most of them floated up again with a few bullet holes under the strafing of automatic rifles. The men on the three dinghys did not escape such bad luck, and were either killed on the boat or in the water.

The armed fishing boat circled the sea for a few more weeks, and the gunner made sure that there were no more fish that had slipped through the net, and then decided to continue the unfinished work. The pirate ship has been turned into a large torch, and it is certain that no one on it survives. It seems that the ship and the things on it have no use value, and everyone has no ability to extinguish the fire, so they can only let the fire burn until it is extinguished naturally. Just as the armed fishing boat turned around and sailed towards the space-time passage, no one noticed that in the shadows below the wide boat, a pair of eyes full of hatred watched all this.
