Early morning on the fifth day of June

Junlin Port is built at the junction of the remaining veins of Dongping Mountain and the plain, which is a deep-water port.

The land of the water town here, the so-called Dongping Mountain is only a little higher hill, and the remaining vein is just a hill - the local area is called the West Mountain, the hill is inconspicuous on the flat land, but the river foot forms a drop, a crescent crescent probes into the mountain body of the river so that the south bank line of the Qianjing River turns a small bend to the north here, and becomes a natural haven.

Between the mountains and the plains is the western area of the harbor -- mainly the wharf for warships, which is deep and narrow, suitable for heavy ships, while the eastern open area is a civilian wharf, with shallow water and wide area, suitable for civilian ships with a shallow draft.

A few months ago, when Ye Qing landed, due to the destruction of port facilities, he parked the ship at the civil wharf 100 meters apart, and let the soldiers wade ashore on the water.

Now the wind and rain have become stronger and not conducive to navigation, and three days ago the "waterway accident" caused the wind to be heard, and the displaced people who were about to move north on the ship all stopped, and temporarily settled in Lingang County - this county was very devastated during the battle with the Zhenjun ship, and the aborigines either died or moved away, and the Han army attached to the port was dispatched to help build wooden houses, and by the way, they cleaned up the ruins of nearby villages, and squeezed a little, but they could barely have a place to shelter from the rain and rest in the storm.

To the south of the harbor is this small camp, and you can occasionally hear the cries of the neighbors, which is rare in these days when the Han Hou eliminated foreign ships, causing many homeless people to sigh sideways.

"Alas...... I heard that the two houses next door have sunk into the river, leaving the little girl who didn't catch the first boat, only seven years old, what a sin......" A middle-aged man with clean clothes sighed.

One of the vendors had a gloomy face and snorted: "What kind of boat are you going to? It's Huangquan Road...... I'll just say there's no good thing going to Yingzhou......"

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly: "Shhh, you dare to say bad things about Hanhou, beware of retribution...... And his old man is also kind-hearted, which makes everyone have their own lives. ”

Someone muttered again: "I think it's strange, this section of the river is blessed by the Dragon King, not to mention the wind and waves, Lu Jiayun's boats are all old-fashioned, hundreds of times in the first two months have nothing happened, who thought that the boat would capsize, and overturned three ships in a row, saying that it was a waterway accident, I don't believe it." ”

Hearing this, the scene fell silent.

Only the little girl's sobbing voice was clear in the rain, and the spirit was like a throbbing, and finally a young man got up and went over, and an old man shouted behind him: "Liangsheng, what are you going to do?"

"Hold her...... Come here. "The man who called Liangsheng was a little wooden, but he had a strong physique, and everyone around him made a way for him.

The old man frowned: "Who will raise you when you bring it over?" You don't even have a mother-in-law, and your father can ...... when he leaves."

"I raise. ”

This sentence made the people around him speechless, to be honest, women and children in troubled times are burdens, except for their own family members, who wants to add a drag oil bottle?

"This relief grain can't be eaten for a few days, and you can't eat the stored grain after the land is divided, how much rations you have in the clan, and you will starve to death without waiting for the autumn harvest......" The old man seemed to be his relative just now, and his face changed suddenly for this kind of thing, and he scolded.

This scarcity is all kinds of things, some people secretly despise it, some people ignore it, and some people persuade it: "You are old and dissipated, you are in good health, there is no problem in going to the workshop, you can even go to the army, there is no need to wait for the autumn harvest to have ...... food"

Speaking of this, some people envy that it is rare for a water town to grow so strong, and there are not many that meet the needs of the state.

Soon the topic shifted to everyone's main concern about livelihood: "I heard that there are a few words to be recognized and counted in the workshop, and our group is aiming for this...... High wages?"

Someone sneered halfway through the words: "The officials and soldiers lock the river, it's a question of whether they can pass it now, don't drown in the water to feed the fish." ”

Everyone glared at him, but he didn't speak, and someone scolded in a low voice: "We are still the people of Xiangzhou, and the king of the county can really do it!"

"Move, who cares where you are?"

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums was heard, and in the distance, a cart with an umbrella was pushing over, with a pot on it, and several stewards were handing out ration buns, shouting "Don't rob, it's all there", approaching the last section of the camp.

Due to the division of the military control system, the homeless people were not allowed to move freely, only to talk in the small camps, and in order to prevent riots and epidemics, even rations were organized and distributed.

The steamer was covered with a thick white cotton jacket, and when it was steaming when it was obtained, the sweet aroma made the stomach growl, and everyone stopped talking and ran over......

Probably the wheat is not finely milled, this kind of steamed bun is rough, far worse than rice, in Xiangzhou people may be a little disgusted on weekdays, but now hungry and anxious no one cares about this -- in order to avoid the homeless people from having too much energy, fighting, robbing, and raping, and reducing food consumption, the homeless campers have two meals a day, morning and evening, and the portion will not starve to death but not much.

The Han soldiers from Yingzhou guarded the car, basically who dared to rob, and killed on the spot, and over time no one dared to violate the ban, it is strange to say, under the authority of such soldiers, there were still people secretly venting their dissatisfaction with the Hanhou migration order just now, and most people avoided this kind of person far away.

No matter how you feel about Han Hou, if you have food and some hope, it is difficult to stir up resistance, and with heavy troops, you are even more "grateful...... Therefore, this kind of ecology of displaced people who maintain basic order is a portrayal of the living people within a radius of several hundred miles.

This scene turned into intelligence, screening, and summarization, and presented it in front of Zhou Yu, the governor of the water division, and he looked at it carefully, and he was very satisfied: "It's not clear elsewhere, the stability of the displaced people in northern Hunan can at least support half a month, and it can't be messed up...... Isn't the imperial court sailor willing to hand over the murderer?"

The warlock who summoned the message replied: "The other side said that the captain was dead, and he was bombarded by us, and the head was sent to Xiangzhong." ”

"It's only been two years since the captain of the ship was the culprit, and I don't believe that the military discipline of the Navy Division has been corrupted to such an out-of-control process!"

Zhou Yu sneered: "...... The lord is right in his message, at least there is a big fish hidden in the sailor......"

When everyone heard this, they all waited with bated breath for the boss's order.

Zhou Yu changed his tone at this time: "Is the Xishan Fort ready?"

"Twenty-one batteries, 400 thunder ballistae, all with adjusted range and azimuth parameters, just wait for the enemy ships to break through to ......"

The sound of the wind drove on the flagship, the dragon roared, the rain curtain was torn apart, and the white mist and the waves of the long river were intertwined, forming a single color.

One by one, the warships broke through the surging white fog and appeared in everyone's sight, the number of three hundred, under the banner of the Xiangzhou Navy Division of the Cai Dynasty, and if you look closely, it is the flag of another detachment, most of them slowed down and stopped, and there were thirty ships that did not lower their sails and slow down.

"It's coming so fast...... They can't be let in. ”

Zhou Yu observed the opposite side, and was very afraid of the enemy's sailing skills on a stormy day, and stretched out his hand: "Anchor, catch up." ”

The sound of the water continued, the sails of the thirty battleships did not move, only the roar of the boiler and the sound of the propeller stirring the river water broke away from the berth, sliding out of a curved wave, lined up in front of the opponent, with their backs to the west mountain, like a string of necklaces, sealing this military port berth area to death...... Unless you attack strongly, no matter how high your sail skills are, you can't rush into it.

The fleets that rushed to the front had to lower their sails and slow down to avoid the chaos and crash.

"It's really hard......"

Seeing this scene, He Tianming, the flagship, admired the determination of the other party's commander, and indifferently ordered: "Raise the flag and tell them that our army will enter the port for maintenance." ”

Soon, a banner was raised on the flagship of the Han Army's naval division on the opposite side: "Please detour, otherwise open fire." ”

Such a simple and straightforward refusal made the atmosphere tense at once, and there was already a captain here scolding: "Is this still our home port?

"This hasn't officially sealed the Han Kingdom, it's like this......"

"Even if the country is sealed, where is the whole world not the land of the imperial court, how can it not even have the right to enter the port?"

It seems that there are 30 ships facing each other on both sides, but the pressure on the side of the Han Army's naval division is even greater, because the fleet of the Xiangzhou Naval Division rushed over from the north is several times larger, in addition to the He Tianming detachment that has already had a conflict at the forefront, there are also two more detachments of the "waterway accident", which is obviously three times as large in this armed confrontation.

He Tianming knew that he was fine, so he didn't dare to delay at all, and directly ordered: "Rush over!"

"Governor...... Later, Zhang and Qian both passed down the banner and asked you to stop immediately. A sorcerer shouted.

Several staff members watched the two detachments behind them copy up, and the lightning flashed on the thunder sails, and they were faintly hostile and regarded their side as traitors.

When many captains saw this scene, they thought of the previous "waterway accident" and the special envoy's investigation incident, and their hearts were shocked for a while, and the messenger said even more stubbornly: "Later, I also said that if something happens, the overall situation will be ruined, and you will have to bear the consequences." ”

"It seems that there is some misunderstanding, I have to communicate with the two of you to explain. ”

He Tianming sighed, knowing that the previous investigation team still interfered with his authority, and generally speaking, the emergency mechanism arranged above was effective and balanced each other.

The movement of warships will be interrupted, and even their entire detachment cannot resist the pressure......

"You say my family has been transferred?"

"Yes, don't worry, after completing this, you can leave immediately, I, Great Wei, will also build a fleet in the North Sea, the king has an order, you immediately go to serve as the governor of the North Sea Fleet." There was a secret rumor: "In Dacai, you are only the deputy governor of the ship, but in Beihai, you are a serious governor." ”

"That's it. He Tianming thought so, and the black light flashed behind him.

The two lieutenant marshals had gathered on the deck of a large ship, and when they saw that this colleague had come alone, his face was a little better, and his eyes were still very unfriendly and looked at him, and the older deputy governor of Zhang said in a deep voice: "General He, what do you want? Who instructed you?"

There was also a middle-aged Qian Deputy Governor's tone was more softened, and he frowned: "The commander has an order, no one is allowed to move until the waterway accident is clarified......

"But as I said, I am not allowed to fall into the prestige of the court!"

He Tianming interrupted, knowing very well that his success or failure was here, and his eyes did not flinch and the two governors looked at each other: "Two generals, you may not have returned to Xiangzhou for too long, and now Xiangzhou is not a county, but a vassal state...... The king is the king of Qingjun!"

The two of them changed slightly, entered the hall, and stood in front of the screen.

This battleship has its own shielding array, and he said in his heart that it was secretly instructed by the king of Qingjun...... Sending a team over is just a spectacle?

Looking at He Tianming's young age, he has been repeatedly promoted, is there really someone behind him?

I couldn't help but mutter, the water division was jointly built by the imperial court and the local government, and the water itself was very deep, and there were interference in all aspects, and the royal mother of Qingjun was from Xiaozhou, so it was not strange to intervene more......
