Chapter 376: Lantau Water Village

Southeast Lantau Water Village, Qu County, Donghai County.

If you want to level the sea and appease the sea frontier, of course, you must have a boat master, and if you have a boat master, you must have a water village, and with a water village, you can train the boat master in or near the water village, and you can also defend or attack according to the village.

Lantau Water Village was newly built by Zhou Fugui's order, and it is almost the first water village in Donghai County and even in the entire Dayan Kingdom.

Since the Xianbei people went south to the Central Plains of the Prancing Horse, wars have continued, wars are frequent, who has time to build any water village? Even if some people of insight in the Great Yan Kingdom realized the importance of the water village, the boat master, and the sea frontier, they must also have financial support, and the most important thing is that they can get the full support of the emperor and his court, but all this cannot be achieved. Xianbei Yan is heavy on land but not on the sea, heavy on riding but not heavy on foot, so there is a big defeat of Niu Zhuji, so Yan and Xia confront each other in the Yangtze River.

When the Lantau Water Village was first built, it was extremely simple, but even so, the property needed to build the water village was also squeezed out of Zhou Fugui's teeth through his teeth.

It is better to ask for others than to seek yourself, Zhou Fugui and the so-called Zhen Aoguo, that is, the pirates of the East China Sea, have the heart to negotiate peace, and let Gao Wenting go back, one is to show his sincerity, and the other is to hope that he can match the bridge, but Gao Wenting is that the people of the past have taken the Yellow Crane to go, and the Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here. The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years...

Therefore, Zhou Fugui must be prepared to prevent the bandits in the East China Sea from counterattacking wildly.

To build a water village, of course, it needs to be built by mountains and rivers, facing the sea on three sides, and backing mountains or towns.

Lantau Water Village is built on the seaside, backed by a stone mountain, standing on the mountain, overlooking the distance, everything on the seaside is in full view. I saw the blue ocean boundless, and the silver waves fluctuated slightly, gently lapping against the reef by the sea. Today, the sky is wonderful, the wind and waves are calm, the blue sky and white clouds and the blue water, as well as the seaside reef with dog's teeth, constitute a strange and beautiful picture.

"Pengcheng, what's wrong with you recently?" The Marquis of Pingliang of the Great Yan Kingdom, the Governor of the East China Sea, and the Taishou Zhou Fugui of the East China Sea County stood on the stone mountain, looking at the simple water village and the beautiful scenery by the sea, but his mood was a little heavy, and he asked Dongye Handao, the commander of the Xue Zhen Military Boat Division.

"Aside from the discovery of a few pirates' sentinels, nothing else is unusual. Haikou has not attacked Shuizhai, and there is no news of attacking other places..."Dongye Han also replied with a solemn face: "Dadu Governor, in the matter of Qu County, Haikou has suffered a big loss, which can be said to be a heavy loss, and it seems that he was deterred. But the Metropolitan Governor, the last general, thinks that it is not at all! Haikou, who has been entrenched in the East China Sea for many years, will not admit defeat so easily, maybe... Maybe... What are they brewing? ”

"The silence before the Great War?" Zhou Fugui nodded when he heard this: "What Peng Cheng is worried about is also the worry of this governor!" But you... What's the solution? ”

Zhou Fugui said, and glanced at Dong Yehan apologetically.

Zhou Fugui used the people of Donghai County to force Dongye Han to stay in Donghai County and make him the commander of the boat division, but he couldn't give him anything. So far, the Xuezhen military boat division still has only dozens of warships, almost no large warships, and at the same time, there is a shortage of food, people, money, and naval warfare weapons, almost everything, and this situation cannot be improved in the short term, which is also one of the reasons why Zhou Fugui is eager to negotiate peace with the pirates in the East China Sea.

Higashino Han shook his head slightly when he heard this.

It is difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice, no matter how good Dong Yehan is at naval warfare, and he is well versed in the art of war, brave and good at fighting, but he has no ship, no food, no soldiers and no weapons in his hands, and he has nothing to do, and he can only be the same as Zhou Fugui, looking at the ocean and sighing!

Dongye Han won more in Qu County with less, and defeated the pirates by a lot, but it was a surprise attack, and it was a battle near the coast, and there was support from the shore such as bows and arrows, so he was lucky to defeat the pirates.

Most of the pirates in the East China Sea are hiding in the deep sea, and if Zhou Fugui and Dong Yehan want to get rid of the big trouble, completely eradicate the pirates, and completely solve the threat of the sea frontier, there must be a powerful boat division to go deep into the sea and fight the pirates in the deep sea.

All this, in the current view, is absolutely impossible!

"Governor, the last general suddenly thought of a way." After half a ring, Higashino Han suddenly spoke.

"Huh? What is Pengcheng's strategy? Zhou Fugui turned his head when he heard this, looked at Dong Yehan happily and asked.

"Governor, South... The southern boat division is majestic, and there are countless large and small warships, and it is easy to remove the sea cowards! Higashino replied.

What Higashino Han never forgets is to return to the south!

Dong Yehan said, he also glanced at Zhou Fugui's face, and saw that Zhou Fugui's face was flat as usual, without the slightest wave.

"Tono Childe, no matter what, you also have to protect this embryonic East China Sea Boat Division." After a while, Zhou Fugui was noncommittal, just faced the sea and said a meaningful word.

Dongye Han's meaning, how can Zhou Fugui not know? At the same time, this is also something that Zhou Fugui and Li Qing and other confidants often discuss, but the time is not yet ripe at this time, and it is too early to speak. Since the conditions are not yet available, it cannot be announced to the public, even if Zhou Fugui admires Dongye Han again, he can't let him know.

Hearing this, Dong Ye Han sighed in his heart and nodded silently.

"Let's go, accompany Bendu to watch the soldiers practice." Zhou Fugui then smiled and patted the somewhat excited Dongye Han and said, "Today, the governor will also get on the boat and practice with the soldiers!" ”

"Governor, there's no need for this, is it?" Higashino Han also smiled when he heard this.

"It's necessary, it's totally necessary!" Zhou Fugui said: "When the enemy is brave, he is often the first soldier, and the governor doesn't even dare to get on the boat, he doesn't want to get on it, so why talk about being the first?" And the Governor will not be on your ship, but the Governor will be on the ship of ordinary soldiers. ”

While the two were talking, they had already ridden down the hill and walked to the seaside water village. Zhou Fugui turned over and dismounted, and after handing over the war horse to Vi Xi, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to jump on the warship.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Dongye Han hurriedly said to Zhou Fugui: "Governor, you just got on the boat like this?" ”

Zhou Fugui was dressed in a wide robe of the governor of the Great Yan Kingdom, not to mention for the time being, there was still a pair of heavy fluffed boots under his feet that were stained with water, so how could he fight in the water? I'm afraid that if I fall into the water, I will sink to the bottom of the sea and never be able to float. Of course, there are also armor and water battles, but you must be prepared to fall into the water and you will never be able to get up, or if you fall into the water, you can quickly disarm and undress.

But Zhou Fugui didn't know it, looked at Dong Yehan and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?" ”

At this time, Zhou Fugui is good at riding and fighting, but this water war... It's a layman.

"The Grand Governor..."After removing the boots on his feet, Higashino Han replied after standing barefoot in the seawater: "The key to water warfare is to be on these feet, and after getting on the boat, you can't stand steadily, so how can you talk about water warfare?" ”

"Oh, oh, someone, get a short coat!" Zhou Fugui suddenly realized when he heard this, and he was in a hurry, tearing off his clothes and taking off his shoes, and commanding left and right.

The wide robe of the governor of the Great Yan Kingdom took off, changed into a brown short coat, put on leggings, and did not wear any shoes or boots on his feet, and hung a heavy sword from his waist, similar to the dress of other boat soldiers.

He wanted to follow him on the boat, but was stopped by Zhou Fugui.

Such a big one, go up and overturn the boat carefully, Zhou Fugui said secretly in his heart.

"Tom!"

"Huh?"

"Metropolitan Governor ???!!!"

Zhou Fugui was ready and jumped on the springboard.

Zhou Fugui originally thought that he had been on a boat and had never eaten pork, hadn't he seen a pig run? So he jumped on the gangplank between the shore and the warship with some carelessness, but unexpectedly, there was some moss on the springboard, and Zhou Fugui, who jumped on the springboard, slipped and almost fell into the sea... The crowd exclaimed loudly.

"Panic! Panic! Stabilization! Stabilization! Zhou Fugui shouted a few times, first half-squatted on the gangplank, and then stood up slowly, with his arms outstretched, like walking a tightrope, towards the warship.

At this time, there were some wind and waves on the sea, and the waves kept washing the warship, making the warship sway, and the springboard on the ship naturally swayed.

The guards are not afraid that Zhou Fugui will have any accidents, what is the danger to his life, just by the sea, there are countless boatmen and soldiers who are good at water, Zhou Fugui fell into the sea, and he was afraid that he would not be able to catch him? What the guards were worried about was that the dignified Yan Kingdom Pingliang Marquis, the Governor of the East China Sea, the Taishou of the East China Sea County, and the commander of the Xue Xuan Army fell into the sea in front of all the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Division, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? will fall into the majesty of the Grand Governor...

However, the worries of Vi Wei and the others were superfluous, and after Zhou Fugui stabilized his figure, in the increasingly strong sea breeze, he walked across the gangplank in a few steps and entered the cabin of the warship.

It was a small sailboat with a maximum of twenty people, not a chariot boat, and was driven by sails and oars, of course. There were ten sailors on board.

"Sail!" Zhou Fugui took off the heavy sword, sheathed the sword, and put the pestle on the bow deck, looking at the endless sea water and waves, he couldn't help but feel good, and ordered loudly in high spirits.

A gust of sea breeze hit, blowing Zhou Fugui's long hair kept fluttering, but it also looked unusually chic and high-spirited.

"Metropolitan Governor, the order of the Eastern Field Army Lord has not been given..."After several boat masters and soldiers in the ship glanced at each other, one of the soldiers said to Zhou Fugui cautiously.

Higashino Han's army is also extremely strict, and those who do not get orders and use ships without permission are capital crimes!

"Oh, just listen to the order!" Zhou Fugui nodded when he heard this.

Through this trivial matter, Zhou Fugui appreciated Dongye Han more and more, but unfortunately, Zhou Fugui couldn't give him too much, and even asked for credit for him, but Dongye Han refused.

Dongye Han is bent on returning to the south, how can he be your official of the Hu people? How could he be enthroned by the Xianbei court?

"Tom... Tong... Tom..."

"Woo... Woo... Woo..."

At this moment, there were bursts of war drums and horns from the handsome ship, and at the same time, the flag waved, and Higashino Han finally gave the order to exercise.

Some people died, but not completely......
