Five hundred and fiftieth chapters fly to a city

Get on the boat from Dongxi Wharf not far from Tiantai County and sailed northwest. The river flowed into the Cao'e River and then headed northward to Shangyu County.

The whole way was along the river, and the boat was quite fast. I prepared dry food last night. The group did not get off the boat to rest, so they turned to Yaojiang and headed towards Ningbo.

Lifting the curtains, Xiaoqi, who was gnawing the last wave of watermelon this summer, said to Nunu, a tributary not far away, "That's Tongming River."

"Oh, this is Tongmingjiang." Qian Xiaomei looked out with emotion. Although she had not experienced the battle formation at her young age, there were many guards at home, and many of the female family members also discussed this matter.

More than two months ago, two hundred soldiers came down from Tongming River and defeated more than a thousand Japanese pirates in two quarters of an hour to protect Shangyu County. This was a battle in Shangyu's great victory, second only to Qi Jiguang in both military achievements and legend.

However, the two hundred soldiers with the Qian family's guards as the core died on the spot, twenty-one who was seriously injured and sixteen who were injured.

It was almost autumn, and the strong wind blew across the river, and Qian Xiaomei, who was standing by the window, shivered. She seemed to see six or seven ships passing by her. The ship was covered with iron armor and armored soldiers carrying two swords, with a heart of death, and murderous aura filled the river.

Since Qian Yuan formed a guard team in Huating, Songjiang in the 32nd year of Jiajing, this has been the most casualties. Even if Xiaoqi went to Shangyu personally, it would be difficult to save so many seriously injured people.

But this battle was also the most eye-catching battle in the Southeast in recent years. Two hundred soldiers defeated more than five times the Japanese pirates in front of everyone, beheaded hundreds of them, and greatly destroyed the enemy's spirit.

Only when Qi Jiguang arrived was able to defeat Xu Hai in a short time, win the Shangyu victory, and set the general trend of Zhejiang's coastal areas in one battle.

Tan, Huang, and Qian Xiaomei are all female relatives, either widows or unmarried ladies. They stay in the inner courtyard on weekdays, but after all, Qian Yuan often leads the army, so he can't help but inquire more.

Seeing this Tongming River, I can’t help but recall the days when I was worried every day and couldn’t sleep every night.

Xiao Qi didn't have this kind of emotion, after all, he was a doctor... Although he was a seldom of passion, he could not avoid seven emotions and six desires, but after all, he was used to life and death in his previous life.

Uh, she was gnawing the watermelon carefully, and she threw it away without any red flesh on the melon skin.

There is no refrigerator and no cold storage in this era. Don’t even think about the fruits off-season. All fruits are eaten in the season. After eating this watermelon, you have to wait for next year if you want to eat it... Xiao Qi sighed, but I don’t know if it will be in the southeast next year. I remember that I was in Beijing the summer of the previous year, but there was no watermelon to eat.

On that day, the group arrived in Yuyao along the Yao River. The next day, they set off, arrived in Yin County through Cixi, turned into Yongjiang, and went downstream. They arrived in Zhenhai in the afternoon.

"Grandma, be careful of your feet." Xiren held Xiaoqi, whispered slightly with force on his hands, "Miss, there are so many people, don't lose your respect, turn around the young master..."

"He cares whether I walk or run or jump?" Xiaoqi complained, but still slowed down and pointed to the dense crowd two or three miles away in front, "What is that?"

"That's the dock." Keqing rushed over and said, "I just asked Guard Peng. Now the dock can only dock merchant ships, and passenger ships can only disembark here. Look, there are also ships behind, and they also dock here."

Peng Feng, who was sweating profusely, shouting at the top of his lungs, asking the guard who had been waiting to take his servants to put the furniture and boxes on a carriage and send them to Zhenhai County.

"Everything is carefully. After kowtow, the young master will not say anything. Wang Boer punishes you for monthly money. Don't expect me to help you speak!"

"Oh, it's shaking now!" He Qi pointed at Peng Feng, "I will teach you how to use a knife step by step. Wang Touer is fined monthly, so I will take it out of your pocket!"

A burst of laughter rang around, and Peng Feng said a few soft words in a hilarious way, although Wang Yi, the guard team is now headed by Liang Sheng, followed by Peng Feng... Zhou Ji was sent by Qian Yuan to follow Tan Wei after just two months of returning.

But He Qi is a senior citizen of Huating. Last year, during the Tongxiang victory, his left hand was cut off and he withdrew from the escort team. He was a teacher in Yiwu at the beginning of this year and was considered half of Peng Feng's master.

The carriage full of cargo and the ox carriage slowly drove into the city along the road. Two other carriages were parked outside the dock for women such as Tan to ride. It took a while before the arrangement was made.

He Qi glanced at Peng Feng who was running around in the middle of the night, thinking that when this guy first entered the guard team, everyone said he had come in through the back door. After all, he was from Pengxi Town. Unexpectedly, he could stand out before a year had arrived.

This guy is so skilled in martial arts, but he is still capable in command, which may be related to his studies. He Qi thought in his mind that his kid should be sent to study. Last time the young master said he wanted to open a private school at home.

At this time, a group of people coming from a distance attracted He Qi's attention. It should be that the ship was docked together. They were all strong and kept turning around, and their eyes were turned on the Qian family's carriage that had just left.

He Qi raised his hands and turned around in circles with his back. He glanced out of the corner of his eyes and was immediately shocked. Several people were bulging waists or long strips wrapped in cloth on their backs, obviously with sharp blades on their bodies.

"I heard that a fleet had already returned some time ago." The man with a slightly short head but extremely stout head whispered: "Just like this, you'll make a lot of money!"

"Yes, this Yongjiang River should also be changed, it should be called Yinjiang!"

A tall and thin man said with a loud voice: "Look, look at the fleet, I don't know how many good things are installed!"

The group did not enter Zhenhai County, but walked straight along the river bank towards Hou Tao Mountain, but they didn't know that the tail was following behind their butt.

People were surging on the pier in front, and only ships of all sizes were docked on the shore in sequence.

A small boat of Wupeng was shuttled back and forth on the river. Some people on the boat raised their flags from time to time to command. The cargo ship slowly moved closer to the dock, and the empty ship sailed away from the other direction.

Although the pier is lively, with shouts, shouting, and neighing cattle and horses, it is in order.

The horse whip was waving in the air, and a sound of flowers exploded. The carriage full of cargo slowly drove towards Hou Tao Mountain.

The tall and thin man on the roadside glanced at the carriage and whispered: "It's all porcelain."

"I'm not afraid of bumping and bumping." The thick man cursed: "It's better to break it into pieces!"

"I don't even look at the road surface!" The middle-aged man who had not spoken snorted, "I don't know how much labor has been used to pave the road. I don't even think it's flat, and it won't turn over even when it rains."

"What a big deal." The tall and thin man twitched twice, and hit the young man beside him with his elbow. "Little girl, aren't you from Zhenhai County? You weren't that lively here before, right?"

Xiao Yang looked less than twenty years old and had not yet grown his beard. He looked around in confusion and suddenly pointed to a row of buildings not far away, "What is that..."

"It was originally a rest." The passerby on the side gave a warm advice: "Later, everyone was too lazy to go to Zhenhai County. After getting off the boat, they went there to check the goods. It was so convenient. The county government released the news and said that several rows would be built."

Another passerby said disdainfully: "That was caused by the beheading of money. Now there is no cash collection... It will be hard to say in the future!"

"That's right, I heard that the Zhao family in Cixi and Zhang family in Yin County are all going to set up shop there!"

"No cash collection? How is that possible!"

"The money must be cut out oil when the stones are beheaded, and the warehouse needs to be stored in cash. How can the shop not be charged?!"

"Hey, it's always a good thing... Besides, don't you have to pay for repairing the dock?"

"That's right, this road doesn't cost money?"

"And the top of the mountain... it's not finished yet!"

The passersby became more and more excited as they spoke. The middle-aged man walked out with a smile, glanced at the vaguely visible top of the mountain, "That's Weiyuan City?"

Xiao Yang followed behind, looking at the neatly arranged houses at the foot of the mountain, all of which were divided into three streets. Then he looked at the smooth gravel roads, the lively docks, and the endless fleets of ships on the Yongjiang River, and couldn't help but sigh.

"But I haven't returned home for a year, I accidentally flew into a city!"

Peng Feng, who had been following behind, was anxious, "It must be the Japanese pirates... I have had a fight twice a few days ago!"

"What are the troublesome things about the Japanese pirates here?" He Qi said in surprise.

"There are so many merchants gathering, and there are so many goods in the warehouse. The Japanese pirates don't want to come and grab one." Peng Feng took out his whistle from his pocket and was about to blow it. The people on duty nearby were under Qi Jimei.

"Don't blow, look again!" He Qiyi grabbed the whistle and smiled: "Don't worry, it's not a Japanese pirate, it's an old acquaintance."

"Old acquaintance?"
