Traveling through the Song Dynasty, the most prosperous feudal society in China, we sang the wind and sighed the moon with the ancients, and traveled through the flowers. We counted the wind and liu characters in the wind and moon, and saw Shi Hai sinking in the wind and moon.

———————

The fleet of the maritime mechanics was composed of seven three-masted sailboats and twenty-nine boats. The main ship was the deputy ship when Li Jie was in Luzon, and Li Yanzhi changed it to "Bafeng". "Bafeng" is a lucky ship system. It was only sixteen months old. It has experienced the test of wind and rain. After returning to Wuyu, it was repaired. According to Yang Zhou's description, it was very solid.

Although Bofeng is the main ship and is also armed, it is essentially still a merchant ship. The most armed single ship of the entire fleet is Wang Mumin's main ship "Shark Teeth". "Shark Teeth" is a changed broad-sized ship system, with only 80% of the tonnage of "Bafeng", but it is more flexible in terms of navigation and rudder turn. More importantly, "Shark Teeth" concentrates half of the firepower of the entire fleet, with two No. 2 Folang Jigs, six No. 3 Folang Jigs, and four No. 4 Folang Jigs. The secret workshop of the Lijia Iron Factory can already make bird guns, but it has not been able to make cannons. It is difficult to get official cannons in Nanjing and Guangdong, so these Folang Jigs are all imported goods.

The fleet set off from Wuyu to Penghu was just a strait for the Grandmasters. Yang Zhou, the fleet's chief, was very familiar with the routes in this area. He was very experienced and was a person who had been to Luzon. After walking across the ocean, he did not take this strait seriously.

This was the first time Li Yanzhi went into the sea in this life. Although he ran barefoot on the boat with the village warriors every day during nearly a month of training, the boat was different from entering the sea in the harbor and entering the sea. Although he also took a boat out of the sea in his previous life, even as far as Hawaii, the bumpyness of modern transportation was incomparable to the sailing ships of the Jiajing period - even if Chinese-style sea boats were one of the most stable sailing ships of the same era. Therefore, when the fleet sailed to the middle line of the strait, Li Yanzhi and some mountaineering soldiers from Youxi still felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Li Yanzhi had been training since childhood, and had extraordinary physique, but not entirely a landslide. After that discomfort, he soon got used to it.

In order to achieve unexpected results, Li Yanzhi asked to launch an attack on Penghu in the early morning. After calculation, Yang Zhou controlled the voyage and allowed the fleet to arrive at the western island of the Penghu Islands at the fourth update - this is the westernmost island of the main three islands of Penghu.

When the sun rose from the sea, several fishing boats sailed out of the Xiyu Island of Penghu, but the fishermen were going to go to the nearby fishing grounds to fish. Unexpectedly, shortly after leaving the shore, the sun was getting higher and the morning mist dissipated, and suddenly they found dozens of ships of all sizes appeared on the sea surface!

"Pirates!" a fisherman shouted. The most cautious person immediately turned the bow and fled.

"What are the pirates afraid of!" said the braver, "We have nothing to let them rob."

"But what if the official army?"

This way, even the fishermen who were not afraid of pirates were scared away.

Unfortunately, the fleet opposite was sailing. The fishing boats that were hesitant at the beginning fell into the encirclement before returning to the shore. Seven or eight trumpet tigers and eight oars surrounded them. The crew on the boat opened their bows and arrows and aimed at the fishing boat. The brave young man wanted to resist, but was stopped by the old fisherman: "Don't do anything randomly! Look at this posture, most of the official army, not pirates, can't fight, can't fight!"

The seven large ships approached the shore, and a experienced boatman drove the small boat to anchor along the coast, hooked the sea mud to test the depth, and found a small bay where they could be moored, leading the seven large ships to dock.

Before the big ship could stop, more than twenty small boats were shuttled between the big ship and the coast, transporting the first batch of 60 aircraft troops to the shore and lined up to prevent the situation.

"Everything goes well." Li Yan stood on the deck of the wind and said to Wu Ping with a smile, then he ordered people to ask the captured fishermen.

The first group of fishermen who were taken up were an old man in his fifties, and the other two were young people in their twenties. It seemed that they were three fathers and sons. After the family was taken to the deck, the old fisherman knelt down and shouted, "Good King, spare your life, please spare your life." But he was fucking with a Zhangzhou accent. The two young people also knelt down.

Yang Zhou shouted, "Don't scream, what a king! This is Li Xiaolian! He is here to patrol the sea under the command of the provincial capital!"

"Ah!" The old fisherman thought to himself, it turned out that he was really from the official family, so he shouted: "Master Xiaolian, please spare me, please spare me."

When Li Yanzhi saw it, he was secretly amused and said, "What do I want your life? But I come to ask you, but what are you doing in Penghu?"

The old fisherman said, "The small family is fishing for a living in Penghu."

Li Yanzhi asked again: "Are there Japanese pirates on the island?"

The old fisherman shook his head and said, "I don't know. I haven't heard of it much."

Li Yanzhi saw that his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were dull and very stupid. He was not telling lies, so he asked again: "Are there any pirates on the island?"

The old fisherman thought for a while and said, "We live in the east and west, and there is a village gathering more people. There is a village leader in the village. Their group has swords and sometimes go out to sea. I don't know if they are going to rob, but they don't come to harm us, and we don't know if they are pirates."

Li Yanzhi asked the name of the village again, and the old fisherman asked his two sons: "Which village has a name?"

The son, who was a few years older, scratched his head and said, "I don't know, the people in their village say "return to the village" and "out of the village". Didn't they just call him a village?"

Li Yanzhi thought to himself, "It sounds like a very unsized village." He asked about the size of the village. The fisherman's family had to compare and beat, saying that there were about thirty or forty houses in the village, all made of bamboo and wood, and there were 100 or two hundred people living. In addition, there were some scattered houses on the island, which were where fishermen like them lived. Li Yanzhi asked about the fortifications of the village again, and the fisherman asked: "What is fortifications?"

Yang Zhou said: "Is there a village wall, an arrow tower or something?"

The younger son said, "There are no walls." After thinking about it, he said, "Some places have walls, some places don't have one, just a row of fences. They have a very tall one with a large piece of wood with a wooden board and a small roof on it. They can climb up and see far. I've climbed up and played, it's very fun."

Li Yan looked at Wu Ping directly, and Wu Ping said, "It seems to be just a watchtower, nothing great. Why don't I take someone to see it?" Li Yan said, "Okay. Be careful in everything."

Wu Ping took sixty armies to explore the way. Using the old fisherman as his guide, Yang Zhou threatened him and said, "If you dare to lead the way, you will kill your two sons!" The old fisherman was so scared that he said he didn't dare.

Li Yan smiled and said, "What are you doing to scare him?" He said to the old fisherman again, "Don't worry. As long as you don't do anything randomly and lead the way, I will reward you when I come back."

Wu Ping took his men there for more than two hours. Li Yanzhi didn't see him coming back, so he sent Lu Fuli to lead 30 people to pick him up. Lu Fuli saw Wu Ping halfway. It turned out that he was approaching the village. He saw that it was so simple that it was so simple that it was so simple that it was too unpretentious. He could see everything at a glance, and he didn't have to go back and report it first. He took sixty soldiers in front of the village and ordered the village leader to come out to greet him.

The residents of the village had seen them. After a long time of chaos in the fence, a middle-aged man took a Pu Dao and brought more than a hundred men and women behind the fence and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here!" But he had a Quanzhou accent.

Wu Ping shouted: "Li Xiaolian led the corps here to patrol Hai'anmin. Are you a bandit or a civilian?"

The middle-aged man turned around and discussed with his wife, brother and children, and then said, "We are people!"

Wu Ping shouted: "Since it's a people, why don't you come out to welcome me!"

Among the sixty people he brought, thirty were melee teams, equipped with black vine shields, bright waist knives, and ten were spearmen. The remaining twenty were archers. They were both short and long weapons, long and short, and their uniform clothing, looked even more like regular soldiers than Zhenhai Guard's guards.

There were only a hundred people in the village, and there were only seventy or eighty men who could fight, which was only slightly more than this team of maneuvers. However, their weapons and equipment were not as good as those of them, and they were not trained. If they really fought, they would be one-sided. The leader knew it was irresistible, so he quickly opened the gate of the village and knelt down to greet him.

Wu Ping sent someone to count the entrance to the village, and then asked about the situation of the village leader's family, but took him and his two young sons and said, "Go back with me to meet Li Xiaolian." Leave his eldest son to see the village.

The village leader and Wu Ping got on the "Breaking the Wind". Seeing that the corps ships were strong and the cannons were sharp and the weather was so strict, he became more and more awe-inspiring. When he heard Wu Ping pointing at Li Yan, he said, "That's Li Xiaolian." He knelt down and kowtowed, shouting, "Please pay tribute to the master." He also said, "Master, we are just fishing in this area and have not done bad things. Please do not punish us."

When Li Yan heard this, he thought to himself: "I am an inexplicable person again. If such a person is a pirate, he is also an amateur pirate." Looking at Wu Ping, Wu Ping told him what he saw in the village and said: "There are 143 men and women in this village, including old and weak, and fifty-three men and men. Some fishing boats, two earthen sailboats that are three meters long, and some weapons such as harpoons and bows. There is no food stored in the village, and the most of them are dried sea fish."

When Li Yan heard that the village was so poor, he felt a little pitiful to them, so he said to the village leader: "Get up, don't kneel down." He also said: "I have to..." If I can say that the commander of the Dushi promised to fight against the thieves, but if the commander of the village leader was afraid that even the commander of the Dushi was not aware of what it was, he changed his words and said: "I Xiaolian came to Penghu to patrol the sea this time, mainly to clear the household registration here and distinguish the enemy and the people. If it is a civilian, then register the enemy for management. If it is a enemy, I will attack according to the order."

The village leader hurriedly shouted: "We are the people, we are the people."

"It's good to be a citizen." Li Yan said straight: "You can go back first and tell your tribe members the meaning of this filial and honest person, so that they don't panic. As long as you are a good citizen, this filial and honest person will not only not be offended, but also come to me if you encounter any difficulties. If I can do my best, I will help you solve them."

"Yes, yes." The village leader responded a few times and asked again: "But Master, how much tax do we have to pay? What service do we serve?"

Li Yanzhi was surprised: "Tax? Service?"

"Yes." The village leader frowned and said, "Our village is poor, and there is no food to pay taxes. Some of them are just some sea fish."

Li Yanzhi sighed secretly before saying, "I don't have to pay taxes."

The village leader was very upset when he heard this and said, "How is that good? How is that good? Master, you come so far, we must be filial."

Li Yanzhi was afraid that he would think a lot, so he said, "Okay, you send ten strong men to my corps every day to obey us, carry water for us, and pay me tribute to twenty salted fish every month, which is considered as a reward for the army."

The village leader was relieved when he heard this, and felt relieved, and said, "Yes, yes, we must send people to serve on time, and we dare not shortage of tribute."

Seeing that he is simple, Li Yanzhi felt pity and said, "Since you have given me a tribute and obeyed my command, I cannot be without a statement. In the future, I will protect you from the Xiyu Island and all the old and young villages. If someone bullies you, I can show my name and I will protect you!" (To be continued)
