When He Wusi saw Xiao Yun not knowing, he felt very proud and said in a deep voice: "Shui Army!"

Xiao Yun was stunned and said, "Sailing Army!"

He Wusi said: "Yes, Fang Guozhen occupies Wenzhou, Qingyuan, Taizhou and other places. These places are close to the coast and there are many islands on the sea. Fang Guozhen's troops are mostly local fishermen. They are familiar with waterways and are good at naval battles. After some training, they are an elite navy. They take ships and receive goods, and they come and go in the sea, and have never been defeated. It is precisely because of these people that Fang Guozhen's men are only tens of thousands of people, but their strength cannot be underestimated. Although King Cheng has many soldiers, he is helpless in the coast. Over the years, he has occupied most of Taizhou, Gaoyou and other Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he dare not act rashly on Fang Guozhen's territory.

Xiao Yun nodded. Based on historical information from later generations, he learned that what He Wusi said was correct. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and later the Ming Dynasty, the power on the sea always existed. The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty without border troubles.

The Yuan Dynasty had developed overseas trade. Although Japanese pirates were occasionally attacked on the southeast coast of China since the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty had a powerful fleet on the southeast coast, and merchant ships were equipped with heavy artillery, so pirates were far away to see the Yuan Dynasty merchant ships. Moreover, the Yuan Dynasty had close contacts with all countries in the world at that time, and some even sent envoys to contact, such as the Pope, Britain, France, Moroccan Sultan in Northwest Africa, North Africa, Egypt, Tanzania in East Africa, India in South Asia, East Asia, Japan, etc. In addition, the southern border of the Yuan Dynasty reached Chiang Mai, Annan, and Chameng in northern Thailand today.

Yue) surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and all the Korean Peninsula were included in the territory, so pirates were not very rampant in the Yuan Dynasty. However, with the slow decline of the Yuan Dynasty, there were many harsh policies and taxes. Some local fishermen were forced to live and devoted themselves to the sea. Therefore, the war at sea began to spread. Most of them robbed their families, robbed merchant ships, and established their own escort teams of generals. Without laws and regulations, most of them were lawless at sea, and the court could not do anything. In the end, most of them formed their own unique forces, and some were armed with thousands of people at sea, which was no different from ordinary troops.

Chen Zuyi, a pirate in the early Ming Dynasty, was recognized as the king of pirates. When he was young, he led his family to flee to the South China Ocean and became a pirate. He occupied Malacca for more than ten years and became one of the world's largest pirate group leaders. His members were at their peak. At their peak, they had more than 10,000 warships. They were active in Japan, Taiwan, the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and other places. They plundered more than 10,000 passing ships and captured more than 50 coastal towns. Some countries in the South China Ocean even paid tribute to him. Ming Taizu once offered a reward of 500,000 taels of silver to capture him. Later, he fled to the Bolin Kingdom of Sanfoqi (now Indonesia), and became a general under the king Manazhewuli.

After the king's death, he summoned a group of pirates and proclaimed himself king, and Chen Zuyi became the king of Bolin Kingdom.

It was not until the Yongle period that Zheng He's sailing commander went to the "Western". In the fifth year of Yongle, he returned to his country. On the way back, Zheng He sent people to recruit Chen Zuyi. Chen Zuyi used surrender methods to deceive Zheng He, and secretly conspired to attack Zheng He's sailing commander and rob the "treasure ship". Shi Jinqing, another leader of the old port, reported this situation to Zheng He, and Zheng He immediately prepared and deployed the anti-sneak attack. Soon Chen Zuyi came at night. Zheng He commanded the warships to quickly surround the enemy ship from the standby point, and after fierce battles, he killed the enemy.

More than 5,000 people burned down 10 enemy ships, seized 7, and captured the leader Chen Zuyi and three others. Shi Jinqing was commended by the Ming government for exposing Chen Zuyi's conspiracy and was conferred comforting history. After this war, "the sea route was clear and the foreigners depended on it for peace." It can be seen that the power of these pirates was so powerful that Fang Guozhen was entrenched in Taizhou, Wenzhou, Ningbo and other places. The territory was not large, but near the coast, with this navy army, which really made people dare not act rashly.

Xiao Yun originally wanted to get other useful news, so he went back to report the job earlier, but after saying it for a long time, it was Fang Guozhen. He couldn't help but feel anxious. After thinking about it, he thought, "It seems that this news has to be started from the five Fang Guozhen brothers? But looking at the scene just now, these five people's martial arts are definitely not mediocre, and only thousands of soldiers may not be able to stop them. I am afraid that I will go back to Wenzhou. It seems that the person who is inquiring about the news has to think of another way!

He Wusi talked for a long time, most of it was Fang Guozhen's basic situation. Xiao Yun wanted to ask Zhang Shicheng's basic situation, but Wusi didn't know much, so Xiao Yun had to give up. Soon, the wine and food came up. He Wusi accompanied Xiao Yun to eat some wine, and the old woman accompanied the little princess to say something. The old woman trusted Xiao Yun to save his old man, and was very grateful to him when he saw that the little princess was following him.

At this time, he held the little princess's hand and said, "What are you doing here in such a messy girl?"

Xiao Yun was shocked and said to himself: "Damn, this old woman's eyes are indeed vicious. She could tell at first glance that the little princess is her daughter's house?"

The little princess has lost her mother since she was a child, and she also has an indescribable kindness to the old woman. She smiled and said, "Brother Xiao is a scholar. I want to see the scenery here. I am his student boy. Wherever he goes, I will go?"

The old woman sighed softly, "Reading is a good thing, but the world is not peaceful and the war is in chaos. Do you have any suffering when your daughter is running around with a big man?"

The little princess said, "No, Brother Xiao is very nice to me? With him here, I am not afraid of any suffering, no danger, and dare to go to the mountains and rivers!"

Xiao Yun said intimately, "You really dare to say it?" Looking at the two of them's prone words, Xiao Yun knew that he wanted to find out the news from the old couple tonight, but he was afraid he was so happy. He was secretly disappointed, and at this moment, a sound of footsteps outside the door was heard, followed by a few low voices. Xiao Yun felt shocked. Before he could listen carefully, a slight sound of landing in the backyard suddenly came, and the sound fell to the ground like a cat's claw.
