The people on the ship went down like ants. A strong man like Huang Laigui felt very cramped and uncomfortable under the hull. When he reached the bottom of the caldera, he could only squat down or crawl. He was so tall that he could not stand straight.

Hammocks occupy all the space, and sailors live in partitions to avoid disturbing each other.

The sailors all sleep in shifts. One group of people do work on the boat, and the other group of people sleep on the boat and rest. If they don’t sleep, there is nowhere to go.

The sailors were the same, divided into three groups, one to rest, one to operate the crossbow, and one to patrol and guard, and were active in the watchtower and the tail ship tower.

Such a ship has the maximum saturation of personnel and takes turns to rest on shifts, which can keep the ship's vitality, and the crew also maintain the healthiest and most dynamic state.

In terms of diet, a large amount of meat is prepared, and the most important thing is beans, which are the characteristics of Chinese sea boats.

Fu No. 1 quickly returned to normal. At this time, the sound of cannons came from the shore. Huang Laifu didn't care about going to see his brothers, and immediately said: "Sheng the sail."

Sixteen sailors followed the order and began to operate the heavy main sail.

If it is not parked by the Min River, it will take more than two days, and generally speaking, the main sail will not descend.

It was quite difficult to rise the main sail. Under Huang Laifu's command, more than a dozen sailors were sweating profusely, shouting horns, and lifting the heavy main sail up layer by layer.

Fu 2, Fu 3, Water 1, Water 2, Water 3, Ling 1, Ling 2, the entire Minjiang River bank is the same scene. Under the command of all sailors and sail cables, the main sails are raised, the front sails and tail sails are adjusted. Under the command of the captain, the deputy leads people to raise the rudder, passes the hull sideways and starts to eat the wind, and prepares to set off.

In Qi Jiguang's navy, the Fu Ship was the main ship to fight against Japanese pirates. He divided the ship into six levels, first and second levels, both were large ships that broke the waves and plowed the enemy, and then there were also small ships of fourth-class. The small ships could participate in war without leveraging the wind in the river, while the first and second-class Fu Ship had to rely on the wind. For Qi Jiguang, it was quite inconvenient to use it.

A large number of refugees in Zhangzhou were ready for a long time. After a while, more refugees flocked to the rest of the ships.

Each ship has to carry hundreds of people, usually based on family units. When boarding the ship, some people enter the cabin, and a large number of refugees are placed directly on the deck.

If Xu Zixian was here, he would have to feel a little emotional. The scene in front of him was a scene of escape in the movie, and the old and small were sitting on the deck, quite distressed and embarrassed.

But for all refugees, there are fears, fears, and reluctances to leave, but more of them are expecting a new life. For these people, being able to settle down and have enough food is the most important thing. If you want to leave your back and leave your hometown, are Fujian people still afraid of such trivial matters?

"Okay, settle down." Li Guozhu sat cross-legged on the deck and sighed a long time.

Everyone sat firmly and looked up, the sails had already started to rush and the hull was adjusted. Standing on the side of the deck, when they looked through the hole, they only saw the two sides of the Min River and the white river water being rowed. The hull was not very vibrating. In the end, the boat was much more stable in the river.

Although Li Guozhu is from Zhangzhou, he is a big girl who is on a sedan chair while riding such a large sea boat. For the first time, he is a complete farmer. He has been digging food in the soil for half his life. When he just took a Shanghai boat, he felt uneasy and had a very illusory feeling.

After a few breaths, Li Guozhu touched the four taels of silver and Yishenduo copper coins in his arms, and felt much more at ease.

These silvers were exchanged for copper coins, and it was inconvenient to carry too much copper coins and was too eye-catching. However, when he looked around, Li Guozhu realized that most of the refugees were red and did not look like yellow-faced and thin. Many children were wearing used robes that were not old. This kind of clothes were bought in a ready-to-wear shop, and they were a little worn and damaged. They were dressed similarly to new clothes... Of course, from the perspective of poor people.

There are many men in charge who seem to have copper coins and silver in their arms. Their eyes are as vigilant as Li Guozhu. When they meet each other's eyes and wake up, these men lower their heads and smile on their faces.

Indeed, it's different now than before.

Li Guozhu touched the silver and copper coins on his waist again, and his sense of peace of mind became stronger.

After a while, the sailors on the boat began to distribute pancakes. Fujian Road itself mainly ate rice and there was very little pasta. These pancakes were the sour noodles that Xu Zi first sent to buy in Fucheng. They were mixed noodles and asked the women in the town to bake them out. After a few days of the boat, it was too troublesome to cook. There were too many people on the boat, and it was the most convenient to serve pancakes with clear water.

Some families brought some pickles and the like, and Li Guozhu also took out the pickles from his arms, and distributed them to each of the husband and his children. With the clear water in the water hyacinth, everyone began to feast on them.

After dinner, after a while, someone shouted, "Come and come and see, Fuzhou Prefecture City."

Everyone started to sensation. Li Guozhu held his youngest son and squeezed to the port side with everyone. The sailors put down the splints, and the entire Fuzhou Prefecture City was exposed to everyone's eyes.

There are endless villages on the embankment north of the river. Because it was noon, smoke from cooking fires was coming from the roofs of many people, and the fireworks above the head of Fuzhou City became even heavier.

The entire city has 120,000 steps, more than 90,000 city walls, arrow towers, corner towers, main gate towers, and urn city walls, all available.

The city base is four meters high, the brick wall is three meters high, and the entire city is seven meters high above the level. In the eyes of ordinary people, this city is like a palace in the sky, majestic and magnificent, fascinating.

"It's nothing..." An old sailor smiled and said, "I went to the capital with Nan'an Marquis last year and passed by Jiangling. The city is really big, with a square and a 60-mile radius, several times larger than this Fuzhou Prefecture City."

"Isn't the capital bigger?"

"The capital is not as big as Jiangling." said the old sailor: "The capital was repaired during the reign of Renzong and Xuanzong. Otherwise, it would be much smaller than Jiangling."

"It's a strange thing. The capital is not as good as Jiangling."

"Jiangling was also the capital at first." The old sailor looked contemptuous. In fact, he also heard these things on the boat when he was chatting with Chen Daojian and Chen Zuocai and others: "Later, Emperor Taizu felt that the northern border defense should not be taken lightly, so he specially changed the old Youzhou city into a capital, and the city wall was built mainly to defend against the northern barbarians. Later, during the Renxuan period, the strength of the northern barbarians decreased, and the security threat to the north became smaller. Then he built the southern city. There were many villages and towns outside the city living under the city, so the capital flourished. However, compared with the dense towns outside the Jiangling City, the capital was far inferior."

The city of the Great Wei Dynasty must be the center of all parties. There are aristocratic mansions, government offices, temples, and academies in the city. The so-called science, education, culture and health are all in the city, which is the core of a radius of hundreds of miles or even hundreds of miles.

From county towns to prefectures, governments, and then to large cities such as Jiangling, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou, some of them are trade-oriented and some are military-oriented. After all, Beijing is a political and military center that emerged by the regime to resist foreign races. Compared with commercial centers such as Jiangling, it is still far inferior to Jiangling.

"Look at it for a few more..." An old refugee suddenly burst into tears. He said, "This time, it's hundreds of miles away from the mainland. If you want to go back to Zhangzhou, you can't look at Fuzhou again."

"This is stupid." A refugee spat: "We Fujianese have not cried like this even when they go to Nanyang. They have land and marquis's mansion to take care of them. They are an official household. What a great thing to do, cry!"

Most of the refugees have the same view. Fujianese are not afraid of leaving their hometowns and walking away. As long as they have a good future, they can go forward. However, no matter what, as Fuzhou City gradually fades away, there are only waves ahead and endless sea, everyone inevitably begins to feel melancholy in their hearts.

...

Xu Zixian stayed in Fuzhou Prefecture these days.

He finished handing over the head and the prisoners, and symbolically handed over some seizures... they were all worthless miscellaneous items.

In addition, urge the troops of the state to be careful and those who swim in the water and pirates who walk away on boats should not be taken lightly.

News came one after another in the next three or four days... Some pirates were really brave. They swam to the shore for dozens of miles, and were killed or captured by the patrolling Xiangjun and Minzhuang. A few days later, more than a hundred pirates were captured and killed. In addition to Luo Si who drove into the sea, the entire Qizhou, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, Xinghua Army and other places no longer saw the traces of Qishan thieves.

But it was not the time to celebrate with each other. Unlike everyone expected, Xu Zixian specifically emphasized that he should not be careless about Luo Si and others. He submitted many documents to the pacifier, the envoy of the prosecutor, the inspector's yamen, Fuzhou Prefecture, Xinghua Army, Zhangzhou and other places all emphasized that he should not be careless about the remaining thieves in Qizhou.

Luo Si and others have been robbing for many years, and more than a hundred people escaped and could fight everywhere to cause disaster. If they accidentally became destroyed, the villages and towns were then wrapped in a boat.

For these remnants, since there is no hope of recruiting peace, the killing will inevitably be even worse when looting, and even cause a large number of bloody crimes. The large-scale displacement of the people is destroyed and their families is destroyed, and it will really cause such a big mess. The previous victory in Qishan Port will inevitably lose its color.

Xu Zixian's official report stated that in order to prevent the rest of the bandits from causing trouble to the local area, Nan'an Shuiying invited patrols to Qizhou and Penghu. Naturally, no one came to refute this matter. Xu Zixian said it solemnly, who could refute him? If something happened, wouldn't this be a solid black pot on his head?

Then Yang Shiwei, Zheng Liqi, and King Qi successively submitted memorials to the court. Xu Zixian won a great victory in the Qizhou war, which showed that he had great military and political talents. For the sake of the court, at least the Xiang army of Fuzhou Prefecture on Fujian Road should be handed over to Xu Zixian to lead the leadership, one should be rewarded for his merits and the other should be used for his talents.

If Xu Zixian is used to manage and train the defense battalions of dozens of troops on Fujian Road, then in the next one or two years, a large number of pirates will attack Chen Yutai for the suppression of Chen Yutai, and Xu Zixian will be responsible for Fujian's defense, which is also a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

The aftermath of the incident was the major newspapers of Fuzhou Prefecture, as well as detailed reports on the battle between the other prefectures in Qizhou.

Among them, the weekly newspapers are the most important. The article by the main writer Wei Yi was also very well written, which caused a sensation. A few days later, it was reprinted by newspapers from all over the south of Zhejiang Province by Lianghu and Guangdong. Not only did Xu Zixian become famous, but he once again came into the eyes of everyone. Wei Yi, the main writer, also took a lot of advantage. Many newspapers asked about Wei Yi, who had just returned to Fujian and was waiting to be assigned to take office. The newspapers of various schools gave up and no longer had the idea of ​​poaching people.

Lu Wenxian from Qizhou also benefited from it. He would be given a memorial when he submitted a memorial, and he would probably be promoted.

Whether Xu Zixian's official position and title can be promoted is also the top priority for everyone to discuss.

As for the people's gratitude, there is no need to say much.

In recent days, the incense and candle shops in Fujian Prefecture have made a fortune. The incense and candle shops in each shop have been sold out, and even all the paper money has been sold out.

The tombs and temples outside the city are overcrowded.

Chen Yutai has been doing evil in Fuzhou and other places for many years, and his hands are stained with blood from many people. It's okay, the key is that during the Battle of Zhangzhou, Chen Yutai was the vanguard, and Pu Xingfeng's evil Chen Yutai had to calculate it. This time, the blood debt was huge. Many people who burn incense accounted for this account, and Chen Yutai was not wronged.

But in Xu Zixian's opinion, this approach is a bit self-deception.

Pu Xingfeng is not dead, and these blood debts cannot be considered as compensation.
