Old Man Ning silently put down the floating net and looked at several fishing boats in the distance.

In early March, Qinzhou is a foggy season. Although it is on the sea, the wind is calm and the waves are quiet, and some curling morning light also rises. The golden sunlight passes through this layer of mist, making it seem like golden light is jumping under the mist.

The scenery is beautiful and illusory.

In fact, I live on the sea, I worry about being afraid every day, and my life is also monotonous. As a fisherman, I was regarded as the lowest profession in the Song Dynasty.

Many Han households came to Qinzhou, which is inevitable. The flattest areas in Guangxi are Xiangzhou, Xunzhou, Yulinzhou and Qinlian. Nowadays, they are mostly swamp areas with sparse populations. However, after crossing the dike, they are the best large dam fields. Therefore, the five prefectures and Guizhou have become the most immigrant areas.

More than 10,000 households were arranged in Qinzhou Bay alone.

This made the living conditions of the old man Ning's family better, and there were many people, so the fish he caught from the sea could be sold at a good price.

But the fishing boats of more than a dozen Han families made him feel threatened.

This group of new fishermen who moved here not only have different ways of fishing sea fish, but also have different tools and boats.

They only control a single ship, a single mast, a cabin must be occupied, and a large cabin belly. However, the Chinese households are different. They often set off at the same time, one for a net ship, responsible for setting up the net, the other for a simmering boat, supplying fishing materials, and food to store catch. The boat travels longer and the sea it arrives deeper. The boat is also thinner and narrower, quite like those small boats in the inland river. It is such a small boat, which actually has a double mast, which makes the fishing boat faster. It can also be more flexible to break the wind and waves in the wind and waves and avoid danger.

Different boats and fishing gear are even more different.

I have been using the ordinary nets, stirring nets and fishing forks in Qinzhou for thousands of years. This is all my fishing gear. However, the fishing gear used by these Chinese households has opened their eyes. A large net (also called Dalu Net, Dapu Net). At least two ships need to pull at the same time. Old Man Ning also saw a large net that can be operated at the same time. There are also a large fishing net with many iron thorns on it (gun net with pointed iron sheets on it. The fish feels painful when it touches it. So at the beginning of the net, it is desperate to squeeze into the middle of the net, which is conducive to the fish not being able to escape from the net and effectively catch fish), and some picking nets, plate nets, and a kind of lunar hook. Depending on the size of the fish, it is straight when it is urgent, and it is slow to collect. The hook and the fishing boat move up and down. Wait until its strength is trapped, and it is pulled up calmly.

Old Man Ning even witnessed two ships catching a big shark weighing almost a thousand pounds. Not to mention anything else, the price of the shark fin can be sold at a sky-high price.

The fishing methods are different. These Han boats often do not rush to catch fish when going to sea, but observe. They observe the movements of fish. If they don’t take action, they will stop. Once they take action, they will gain huge gains.

For the same trip to sea, each Chinese ship can harvest at least twice as much as it is on its own, or even three times as much as it is three times as much as it is on its own.

The net was collected and the harvest was good. There was no net to reach the big fish to rush the net (referring to the net not being woven strongly. If the fish were big, not only would it not be able to stop it, but it would escape from the net and rush the net into big holes. Afterwards, the net had to be repaired and repaired). There were more than 20 fish, a few yellow croakers, more than a dozen mackerels, a few flattened fish (grouper), and some big prawns.

But when people have no intention, when they think of the captures of those Chinese households online, Old Man Ning is unhappy again.

The younger son was excited and excited, and the older son and his wife worked hard to choose fish, preparing to go to the next website. Old Man Ning frowned and looked at the newly married daughter-in-law who was cooking. After taking a sip of wine, he thought of everything that happened in Qinzhou. There are people in Qinzhou, thousands of households living in high places, slashing and burning. Some large tribe chiefs also used ships to do business with Jiaozhi people (the Song Dynasty had always been on guard against Jiaozhi, and did not open a Maritime Bureau, but only established two or three municipalities in Yongzhou to trade. Therefore, many tribes in coastal states, especially Qinlian, had small sea boats and Jiaozhi.) But everything has been different since the previous year. Several large tribe chiefs took their sons.

He was sent to Guizhou to study and built several avenues, which reached the states and Yushui. What the old man Ning didn’t know was that there was a great road that passed through Baohua Mountain and reached the south bank of Hengzhou, where he built a large pier. Then, since last year, a large number of Han people rushed over and began to build dikes, and used a strange thing to bomb the mountain rocks, used the benefits of the Qin River, transported them down by ships, and placed them on the periphery of the long dike. So the swamp turned into fertile fields, and villages appeared one after another in deserted places. Including his own tribes, they actually led the tribes to participate in the construction of dikes and cultivated land. Could it be that they wanted to use those long dikes to stop the mountain god's wrath (smoke outbreak).

Qinzhou has changed, more people have increased, more than doubled the number of people. Qinzhou has changed, and one surround has appeared, making him unable to recognize it.

Old Man Ning didn't know whether to be happy or worried about the occurrence of these changes.

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded from a distance.

Old Man Ning raised his head in confusion and saw the ships of the Chinese households in the distance turning around quickly.

what happened?

Then Old Man Ning saw black dots rising from the thin darkness.

Then what is that?

When he was confused, a Chinese boat came over and knew him. There were not many fishing households in Qinzhou, and there were not many people. In the large Qinzhou, there were only a few thousand households. Most of them lived in high and vast lands, and they often could not meet the food needs. However, Qinzhou had Qinjiang, so they went up the mountain to hunt and went down the river to catch fish. These were all side jobs. There were not many people who actually went out to sea to make a living, only one hundred households. Since these Chinese households came, they often chatted near the sea.

Most people are familiar with it.

The owner of the ship seemed to be Huang Xiaohu, and there was also a wretched ship who was fleeing to the distant coastline in the north in panic.

Huang Xiaohu shouted: "Ning Wengweng, why did you get here too?"

"I want to catch more fish..."

“It’s too far from the shore.”

Old Man Ning didn't answer, thinking to himself, aren't you even further away from the shore?

"Take your family onto my boat."

"My boat..."

"Your ship can't be taken anymore. The Jiaozhi army is coming. Your sloop is too slow to escape."

"What Jiaozhi Army?"

"The army of Jiaozhi Kingdom. Look at those ships!"

"My boat..."

"Don't let your ship go, I'll testify to see if I can ask Mr. Zheng to make some compensation after the war." Huang Xiaohu finished speaking, forcibly dragged the old man Ning's family of five onto his boat.

"My boat..."

"Why can't you twist it clearly? The boat can be rebuilt, but the people have no more. There is nothing left." Huang Xiaohu said irritably. At this moment, the black spots were expanding, and the faint mast sail could be seen. Old Man Huang's wife and eldest daughter-in-law were still packing their luggage.

"You can't take luggage either." Huang Xiaohu ignored the difficulty of men and women in ease, and forced Old Man Ning's wife and daughter-in-law to his boat.

He pulled onto the boat and quickly dropped Old Man Ning's ship. He fled north, setting sail, and taking out a few large oars and rowing desperately. A man took out his horn and continued to blew the loud horn.

The rising shadow turned into black dots again.

The mist gradually dissipates and a new day officially begins.

Old Man Ning didn't understand very well and asked: "Why did the Jiaozhi people invade?"

He has also been to Jiaozhi.

"They don't want you to live a good life, so they invade." Huang Xiaohu wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he resisted and didn't say it again.

Another Han family companion said: "Huang Huochang. It seems not good. Just from the sea, there are countless enemies, and there are more land troops in Yongzhou."

"Believe in Mr. Zheng."

"It would be great if General Di was here."

"You can't underestimate General Zhang, he was in Tumaochuan. He defeated tens of thousands of cavalry with General Zhang Ji many times with thousands of troops in Xixia. Another time, a battle directed by Yuan Hao himself was also defeated by General Zhang."

In terms of command ability, due to the lack of attention from the Song Dynasty's rulers and ministers of Linzhou Prefectures, they neglected the battle of Linzhou. Those fierce battles were also the most glorious battles in the Northwest Battle.

However, those who participated in the command, from Zhang Kang to Zhang Jimin, Zhe Jimin, Wang Kai, Gao Jixuan, Wang Jiji, etc., if it were not for Zheng Lang, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty might not have been valued. What was Di Qing doing at that time? If it were not for Zheng Lang, he would have been just an intermediate general who was despised by Han Qi.

Of course, Jiaozhi people will not pay more attention to Zhang Kang.

Huang Xiaohu said, put down the big oar, waved his fist again, and said, "Brothers, if you want to move, you will have a chance to make a contribution this time."

"Here." Several big men on the boat shouted together.

The answer made Old Man Ning a little confused.

The ship was still flying towards Qinzhou quickly, a little far away. It was not until the sun was west that the ship arrived at Qinzhou Port. However, Qinzhou City was not in the port because the port was low and often threatened by mountain torrents. Therefore, the Song Dynasty placed Qinzhou City in Lingshan County set up by the Tang Dynasty.

There is a city at the mouth of Qinjiang River, but it is not a prefecture city, but a small county town, Anyuan city.

Originally, there were only simple earth walls, and a small number of Han households lived in the city, as well as some familiar barbarians like the old man Ning. There was another Ruhong Village by the Sihong River in the west, and another Ruxi Village at the junction of Sumaozhou. These two large villages were not established to deal with Sumaozhou, but to prevent the 100,000 barbarians on the mountains, such as the powerful Gusendong.

It was not until Old Man Ning heard of Jiaozhi invasion that he thought of something. This time, the Song Dynasty immigrants were mainly concentrated in the areas around Qinjiang and Sihongjiang, and large embankments were built. However, in the Ruxizhai area at the junction of Sumaozhou, although the terrain was flat, the Han households were not placed there.

Entering Qinjiang, there are still a few miles away from the county town.

Old Man Ning saw a large cloud of beacon smoke rising from the beacon tower in Anyuan City.

I still remember this old man Fengyanning. When New Year's Day approached, the county magistrate gathered the people of the county and announced one thing, which was Fengyantai.

There are three types of beacons, one is a small beacon. When a small group of beacons invades, it will be set to spread to the city. When the people of each village see it set off, they will build villages and villages to protect themselves. The magistrate will collect local soldiers and prepare to annihilate the invaders.

In a helpless manner, Lingnan had few troops, and many areas were not equipped with defenses, and often there was no city wall. After Nong Zhigao invaded, the people of various prefectures and counties launched the people to build the city wall. A large number of Han households immigrated, and one village and one village built earth walls, which could make some defense preparations.

But in real battle, we must use wing soldiers and local soldiers.

Of course, this is only used to deal with a few invasions.

When a large group of people invades, medium-sized beacon towers must be set up. Once this beacon tower is ignited, it will be passed on to Rongzhou, Yongzhou and Yizhou. Except for some large villages with tall stone walls, the people must stay away from moving. Other people must approach each county town to reduce the damage to the enemy. Then, from Yizhou or Rongzhou and Yongzhou to recruit formal troops from the court to suppress it.

The most threatening thing is the last beacon.

During the invasion of Jiaozhi, the largest beacon tower was set off and passed on to Guizhou. Each state strictly divided the villages and villages, with only a few large villages. For example, such as Hongzhai, these large villages with military nature can be qualified to take in the people, and the people in other regions must transfer to the city as quickly as possible to the county and county.

I didn't expect it to be used so soon.

The boat had not arrived at Anyuan Port yet, but Old Man Ning had already seen many people on the river bank with their luggage and living utensils at home. He cried and fled to Anyuan City.

Huang Xiaohu said in a deep voice: "It's a bit bad."

“Why?”

"Now there are more than 20,000 households in Qinzhou, most of whom are immigrants. Most of the people used to live near Lingshan, but now they are concentrated in the downstream areas. Anyuan City is small and must accommodate more than 10,000 households. These people carry so much luggage and poultry, and the city is in chaos."

"Huang Huo Chang, yes, I'm worried about this. At most, the Jiaozhi army will arrive at the city in one or two hours..."

"I don't know if the Xianggong Zheng had made any arrangements. If the enemy came from the sea, the first thing that happened to the magistrate Zhang was Lianzhou City and Anyuan City. Lianzhou City is a prefecture city with a tall wall and a better situation than Anyuan City. I would be even more worried if I was just a civil servant who presided over Anyuan City."

This is determined by the terrain. Jiaozhi invaded from the sea. The first thing that can be harmed is these two cities. Either detour the Leizhou Strait and attack Leizhou City on the east side of the Leizhou Peninsula. The west side of Leizhou is a mountainous area. It cannot cooperate with the army that attacked Yongzhou land. It is not worth the loss. Even if you don’t understand military affairs, you will not make this inexplicable deployment. In fact, in history, twenty years later, Jiaozhi invaded the Song Dynasty and attacked them. Lianzhou was tall and resisted and did not let the city fall. Qinzhou was blocked by Anyuan City and the city wall was low and unstoppable. When he heard that Anyuan City fell, Qinzhou officials were afraid and dared not fight again and lost the city to flee.

Old Man Ning finally understood and asked suspiciously: "Are you soldiers?"

Huang Xiaohu grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, laughed and said, "Of course, if we are fishermen, why don't we fish in our hometown and move to Qinzhou? Don't worry this time. If we fight the Jiaozhi people in this battle, we will withdraw from the sea and leave some fishing boats to you. But you are watching us fishing every day, wondering if you understand our fishing methods? Don't be a fisherman, you can't even learn the fishing methods of a soldier."

Old Man Ning's face turned red.

It turns out that over the past few months I have been judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Another big man also laughed, patted Old Man Ning on the shoulder, and said, "I'll be convinced this time. Look, you can't farm, you can't do business, and you can't even use this clumsy fishing net to catch fish. Are you still rejecting the immigration plan arranged by Mr. Zheng?"

"Can the court defeat the Jiaozhi people?" asked curiously.

"Don't worry, our Xianggong Zheng is the God of heaven. He sent a star to bless us to the earth of the Song Dynasty. What is a small Jiaozhi!" Another big man said disdainfully. But his opinions may not be unified. At this time, the number of troops in Guangdong and Guangxi was too small. I don't know how many troops Jiaozhi was dispatched, but judging from the number of ships, at least one or two thousand troops were dispatched from the sea alone. One or two soldiers were still a little worried.
