Additional updates, second updates, thank you for your monthly ticket support! Thank you everyone for the flavor!!!

This is the first time that this volume has a clear name, and it is self-evident. I hope everyone likes it!

I will sort out my thanks to everyone and send a single chapter out then.

...

Songjiang Prefecture.

It was called Huating in ancient times.

The Book of Han and Secretary Yue Jue are here, and it is said that the King of Wu built the Nanwu City here in the Spring and Autumn Period.

It was not until the fifteenth year of Zhiyuan in the previous dynasty that Huating was changed to Songjiang Prefecture.

Because it is the estuary of the Yangtze River and is adjacent to Suzhou Prefecture, the land within the territory is fertile and flat, it can be regarded as a wealthy place in the entire Nanzhili area.

In just the 24th year of Hongwu, Huating County paid more than 736,900 stones of autumn grain.

Every time the eunuch Sanbao went to the West, he would stop in Songjiang to make the final rectification.

There are 13 townships and 50 guarantees in Songjiang Prefecture, and there are many people.

Because Songjiang connects to the entrance of the Yangtze River, it is located on the coast, only more than 800 miles away from Yingtian City, the mansion is filled with officers and soldiers.

Stationed at the Jinshanwei at the junction of Songjiang Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang, to defend coastal ports.

There are also two thousand soldiers and horses in the front and back areas of Qingcun and Nanhuizui, which are stationed in Qingcun and Nanhui areas.

It can be said that the defense is very strict.

However, there are only those who are thieves for thousands of days, and there are no ones who are thieves for thousands of days.

The long coastline is not something that the Ming officers and soldiers of one and two guards can be guarded strictly.

...

Tuolin Village in the dark is a small village near the East China Sea in Fengxian Countryside, Songjiang Prefecture.

Because they are close to the sea, in addition to farming the fertile alluvial plains, the people rely on going out to sea to fish and make up for their family income.

The imperial court paid a lot of taxes in Jiangnan. Even in a fertile place like Songjiang Prefecture, the people lived a difficult life.

If you encounter Japanese disasters again, it will be a situation where your family will be destroyed.

The Tuolin Village is very quiet at night, and the fishing boats docked on the pier are drifting with the waves, rising and falling.

In the village, several dogs raised by the village were shouting from time to time.

Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the court's autumn grain tax has just been taken away by the government. The small amount of food left is becoming more and more precious and is hidden by the people in the safest place at home.

In the yard, on the wooden rack were hung with sea fish that had been opened.

Sea fish are salty and do not need salt. They can also provide a slight salty smell to people's mouths. Just by exposure to the sun, it will be the most delicious food in the whole winter.

In the drying yard in the village, under a big banyan tree, a propaganda column was recently placed.

According to the village chief, this is the place where the court announced major affairs of the government, so that the people can know it.

The people of Tuolin Village naturally do not understand the major events in the court.

Even if it is posted on the bulletin board, few people are interested in it.

However, the other half of the content on the publicity column always makes people unable to help but find the few people in the village who can read books and write, and repeatedly let them read it, and they listen.

That is something called Daming Xunbao.

Every time a new weekday is reported, a new chapter will be added to the next chapter of the last time.

A new newspaper just came a few days ago. According to the only person in the village who can read the characters, the court asked everyone to be more careful and beware of Japanese disasters. The court has recently been dispatching troops to protect the coastal areas and preventing a Ming people from being hurt.

The people of Taurin Village just listened to the vibrant words about the Dragon Knights after hearing this.

...

Don't wait until midnight to the third update.

When the night was a little dark, the whole area of ​​Tuolin Village became quiet. Even those stupid dogs just found a crack in the door and lie in the corner to rest.

The sea breeze became stronger tonight.

It seems that the entire East China Sea is to be pushed to the land.

A light boat, driven by the waves, quickly approached the safe haven behind the pier.

There was no sail lifting up the light boat.

The sails are together, under the moonlight, and the trails are easily exposed.

When the light boat stopped into the safe haven, several black shadows crawled up from the deck.

They were wrapped in black cloth, leaving only two eyes that were rolling their light.

Everyone had a short knife in their mouths, and two other knives, one long and one short, were placed on their waists on their left and right sides.

The few of them were not tall, probably no more than five feet tall.

They floated lightly from the boat to the dock, bowed and tiptoed, and looked back and forth, with their heads coming and going, with their eyes filled with vigilance, and the greed and desire that were about to overflow.

There were two people, one in front and one behind, quickly rushing from the dock to the bottom of the courtyard wall at the edge of the village.

Soon, a low sound of insects sounded.

It all the way to the ears of the companions on the dock.

After a while, there were also sounds like waves on the pier, which ran to the empty sea surface.

Then, these people temporarily merged themselves with the night and hid in the shadows under the moonlight.

After half a cup of tea, countless big fish floated on the sponge.

Dozens of small boats with sails landed in the safe haven of Tuolin Village.

Hundreds of black shadows gathered quickly on the pier.

dark.

Become the last partner and helper.

These people turned into ghosts in the darkness.

Hundreds of ghosts walk at night.

On the mudflats in front of the pier, there was almost no footprint left and sneaked into the Tuolin Village.

...

"Dad, the government said we should select good players from us and help us get a navy master to do things..."

In the dark house, the voice of a child of seventeen or eighteen years old sounded.

There was some hope in the voice, with some hope.

A little older and a little hoarse voice came: "Tietou, when my father collects the food next year, he will be able to buy a few acres of land from Mr. Huang in the village. Then we will definitely be able to have a full stomach!"

This is unwilling to go to the navy to do things.

In the room, there was a sound of turning over.

Under the windowsill with moonlight, Tietou, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, sat up: "Dad, the acres of land in Mr. Huang's house are originally ours! Then Mr. Huang is not a good person!"

"Shut up!" My father's voice suddenly became stern, and then he sighed: "Master Huang... Mr. Huang... also gave our family food..."

"That's only a few stones of grain!" Tietou's voice became sharper: "He Mr. Huang is also a good person?"

Another figure started from the bed, reached out to cover Tieto's mouth, and carefully looked out of the windowsill to seek peace of mind.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, the man raised his hand and tugged it on Tietou's head: "You can't say that outside! The food Mr. Huang gave was sufficient, and the price was fair. If you talk nonsense, be careful that our fields are really not ours..."

Tietou's head lowered.

Last year, his mother got sick and died this year.

The family had no money to treat my mother, so my father took the land from his family to Mr. Huang’s house to flush it away.

Later, my mother's illness was not cured after all.

The family still had no money, so they gave the last few acres of land to Mr. Huang's house, and then they buried their mother in the soil after changing the money.

The navy can earn 500 liters a month!

Tietou remembered the notice posted on the village propaganda column some time ago.

He raised his head suddenly, his eyes becoming more and more firm, looking at the man in front of him, his father.

Tietou said firmly: "Dad, my legs are on me! Navy, I must go! When I earn enough money, I may be able to kill a few Japanese pirates to make meritorious contributions. Then I will bring the rewards home and buy you a hundred acres of land for you to plant!"

The man raised his hand again and was about to whip it.

But looking at the only son, with a firm look in the moonlight, the man finally withdrew his raised hand and turned into a long sigh.

He seemed a little lost and slowly repeated, saying, "Go, go. You go, go!"

Hearing my father's answer.
