On August 2, the second year of Huaxia, the Dongqin fleet arrived in the waters of Guangzhou for the first time.

When the flagship Long March slowly sailed into the harbor, Tian Wu couldn't help but be deeply impressed by the scenery in the telescope.

The whole estuary is an estuary where the delta network river and the residual estuarine bay coexist, with large runoff, small tidal range, white water color, and relatively small sediment content.

The estuarine area has developed rivers and dense water networks. Several main streams communicate with each other downstream, and the radial waterways diverge into the sea.

This place is the mouth of the Pearl River, and since the development of the Tang and Song dynasties, this area has been the land of Guangdong.

Tian Wu ordered people to measure the depth of the water, and felt that the hydrological conditions of this place were far better than any place in Fujian.

Measuring the depth of the water all the way, I saw two Ming army guards on the way, but fortunately, in addition to the name of the Huang family, I only needed to pay the money.

When the ship arrived at the wharf outside the south city of Guangzhou, a simple map of the defense of the Pearl River Estuary was drawn.

"Captain Tian, since you don't want to enter the city, then please take care of yourself, your ships only need to dock at this dock, there is our warehouse here, and if you have something, just take this token and find someone!"

Huang Wenfeng was slightly relieved after confirming that the Eastern Qin people were unwilling to enter the city, it seems that this Eastern Qin people are extremely measured and have not gone too far.

Tian Wu took it, and after a few words of thanks, he said goodbye to the two.

After they left, the team led by Wang Jiang came out, these are all veterans of the Tanhu work, and they all were transferred to the Pearl River, in order to take away all the Tanhu who wanted to leave at the mouth of the Pearl River as quickly as possible.

Wang Jiang smiled at Tian Wu and said, "Captain Tian, I have cooperated several times before, but this time I am acting on the Guangdong River, so things may be a little variable!" According to the king, the situation is not right, retreat immediately! Even if our team can't get out of the way, you should have brought the information back sooner. ”

Tian Wu nodded seriously: "Don't worry, the third division of Guangdong is estimated that the third division of Guangdong should not be too involved in this matter, besides, you can still stuff silver when the time comes, anyway, with the Huang family and Liu Shiyang here, it will not be too stiff to do things, after all, they are the ones who ask us."

"What Captain Tian said is true, but you still have to be careful! As long as the situation is opened this time, there will be more teams coming, we are taking the lead, and we must take this first step! Wang Jiang said with a smile.

Tian Wu agreed: "That's right! You can work with peace of mind, don't carry any dangers, even if you are arrested, the things you carry in the enemy manual can be used to make a confession! In short, no matter what, you will always stand behind us! ”

Before leaving, they already knew the general situation here, and at this moment they said it in front of the rest of the team, just to boost morale.

Wang Jiang smiled, looked back at these team members and said: "When you come to Guangdong to work, you just change places, most of you are from Zhangzhou, you must have confidence, and you must do a good job in your affairs!"

The team members nodded one after another, although they were afraid of coming to a strange place, but the five words of the king's order made each of them have no idea of retreating.

After Wang Jiang's encouragement and confession, he got off the boat with the work team, they were all Ming people dressed and hair accessories, because the team was mixed with members of the drama troupe, so they disguised themselves as a troupe.

Since the establishment of the drama troupe, it has absorbed a large number of Tanhu children, and after simple training, these people have learned to sing "The White-Haired Girl", and also learned a song called "Tanhu Blood and Tears".

When they were recruiting Tanhu in Zhejiang and Fujian, they had already used the drama troupe several times, and the results were very gratifying.

In addition to Tando, there are also experienced barefoot doctors in the team. Everyone has also been trained in shooting, and relies on the short guns they carry to deal with some unexpected situations.

After Wang Jiang got off the boat, he walked directly along the shore of the Pearl River estuary, and people from Tanhu often knew better where Tanhu liked to gather.

This somewhat abrupt procession, walking like this on the path leading to the sea, they had three carriages, but they did not have to go any way.

There were also some pedestrians on the road, and when they saw this team, although they were a little curious, they all chose to watch from a distance, and some of them deliberately avoided it.

After walking for about an hour, a place where people gathered appeared in the team's field of vision.

Wang Jiang only glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and the people from the Tanhu family in the team also felt cordial.

Originally, the Tanhu in Guangdong would also set up a fishing market, and it was the same as the Tanhu in Fujian, and they would hold a group.

This kind of fishing market is the spontaneous behavior of the Tanhu and small traders, and is usually set up in the center of the Tanhu distribution.

Not only does it avoid the exploitation of fishing tyrants, but it is also a place that can be changed everywhere without causing anyone to worry.

Moreover, the Tanhu are very protective of this kind of fishing market, and if anyone wants to intervene and charge any fees, they will strike and rebel en masse.

This is also a way to survive, and the bandits from Tando can't bear to try to harm these places, and often use the fishing market as their place to sell their stolen goods.

The group led the carriage over, and the people in the fishing market looked sideways, and when they saw that the team was full of kindness, they suddenly became less vigilant.

Soon, a thin old man came over and arched his hand and said, "The nobles don't seem to be from here, right?" Do you want to buy some catch? ”

Wang Jiang returned the salute and smiled: "We! The opera troupe from Dong Qin wants to see if they can sing an opera here. ”

"Troupe?" The old man smiled and said: "That's strange, but you're looking for the wrong place, our side is full of households, if you want to sing, you should go to a market town!"

Wang Jiangshi deliberately raised his voice and said: "Eh, they are all cheap, and we are willing to sing it to Tanhu!" This place is good, why don't you pick up and sing here at night? ”

Hearing this, the attention of the surrounding vendors was attracted, and many people smiled.

This is the first step in mobilizing the Tanhu, which used to be a small tune in the fishing market to talk about policies, but now it is a singing opera.

Although the old man was happy, he hesitated and said: "But we don't have much money, you can't even get a red envelope when you sing a play!"

"Don't get in the way, each family will give you some catches, we are new to the city, and we have opened it!" Wang Jiang's smile was kind and hearty.

The old man hesitated, but the people around him surrounded him curiously.

"Is this really a good thing?"

"It's true! Our Dongqin opera troupe only sings for the poor! ”

"And what will you sing?"

"White-haired girl, Tando song!"

"Why haven't I heard this play?"

", what kind of drama have you heard Hu Sanwu, haven't you just watched it a few times from afar?"

"Hey, too! If there is a play, it will be done, don't say it, I'll go back and call my mother! ”

"Help me call home, too!"

……

The atmosphere in the crowd instantly rose, and everyone began to talk with joy.

In the past, there were also opera troupes who ran the rivers and lakes to come here, but people would only go to the market town to set up a stage and sing operas.

They could only look at the light and shadow from a distance, and they didn't dare to lean forward to take a closer look.

Today, a troupe suddenly came over and was willing to sing for them, which made them a little surprised and surprised.

The old man was originally afraid that these people were liars, but it can be seen that everyone is like this, and he thinks that people want to deceive, what can they deceive?

He also began to shout along the stalls set up everywhere: "Big guy, there is a troupe, saying that they want to sing a play here, and every family can get some catch, whether you are happy or not, if you are willing, hurry up and finish it, and make room for others!"

Boom - almost all the people in the fishing market put down their work and gathered around this side.

Soon the troupe was surrounded by a dense crowd, all of whom were chattering and asking.

Wang Jiang and the team members responded cordially, and they were very accustomed to this picture.

In Meaux, when the repertory troupe went to the countryside for the first time, this was the case in almost every village.

Every time I go to a place, the villagers within a radius of ten miles will almost come to listen to the news, and each scene is densely packed with a large area.

Some people can even walk more than ten miles for several days in a row and watch "The White-Haired Girl" over and over again.

In an era when cultural life is scarce, free opera is extremely lethal.
