There were more than a dozen ships parked on the Haihe River, all with sails there, and the boatmen and sailors were sleeping soundly there, and they were all noisy at this time.

These ships went out on the sea once and went out with a boat full of grass, and when they came back, they were full of gold and silver, and they made a lot of money, and they were generous to the people on board.

After docking on the shore in Tianjin City, the people on the boat were full of wine and food, and there were a few powder-headed prostitutes on the shore.

There was too much commotion outside, and no matter how heavy I slept, I was woken up, and I went on the deck to look in the direction of the shore, and I rubbed my eyes, thinking that I had left the edge of Tianjin and went somewhere else.

Yesterday and last night, there were still a few sheds on the shore, but now it suddenly became a big construction site, where thousands of people were busy.

And they were all tossing on the shore, one after another boats docked, the boats were loaded with strips of granite, and a few young men worked together to provoke them, walking in the waist-deep canal water, shouting to go ashore.

After the granite came ashore, the mortar and wooden stakes on the shore were ready, and the granite was built up, what is this to repair? The people on board were all puzzled.

But everyone came to their senses a little, and they saw the brocade guards with fully armed swords and guns, although everyone could blatantly load and unload goods here, but they also knew that their cargo ships were illegal, Tianjin was the maritime gateway of the Beijing Division, and merchant ships were not allowed to dock except for the occasional sea cao.

Now the shore is lively in the water, and there are more and more people around to see the excitement, here is a big tun, the tun is full of granaries, and there are sheds for the crew to rest and a place to temporarily store goods on the shore, there are really a lot of people inside and outside.

The movement is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people coming out to watch, and everyone is still ignorant of what is going on on the shore, but everyone always knows the brocade-clothed guards with weapons and full guard.

There is already a vigilant bow incense to report to the above, and the news from this has also been transmitted.

The soldiers on duty of the Jinyi guard only circled the circle where he was doing the work, but the other places didn't care about him, and some people pretended to be watching the excitement and went to the side of the boat one by one.

When the messenger arrived at the side of the boat, seeing that no one was paying attention, he took a few steps along the pedal to the boat, and shouted loudly:

"If you can't sail out to sea, if you don't leave, it will be a big disaster!!"

Although there were more than a dozen boats parked, there were only three ships to be informed, and the captain of the ship heard it badly, so he immediately ordered the ship to sail.

This is also the dogma of the people on the shore, and many generals did not understand the purpose of this visit, seeing that the three ships lifted anchor, pulled back the gangplanks placed on the shore, and saw that the sails on the masts began to rise, and the ships went ashore.

The side of the ship is much higher than the shore, and the people on the shore can't climb even if they don't have the pedals.

Several teams of people ran over one after another, but they could only watch the boat slowly leave in a hurry, and some people with the surname Zi Anxious jumped directly into the Haihe River, but even if they swam to the side of the boat, it was useless.

The hull of the ship was slippery, except for the anchor and rudder rope outside, there was no place to grasp it, and the people on the ship could be seen taking out swords and weapons, even if they climbed up, they would be slaughtered.

The officers on the shore had no choice but to shout for their men to come back, these three sea ships ran fast, but it was also a reminder to the brocade guards on the shore, and of course, a reminder to the other sea ships docking, everyone should draw the boat board at this time, and talk about it when they get to sea.

There are only a few broken ships on the Tianjin side, and they don't dare to go to sea at all, and when they get to sea, everything is safe.

However, the soldiers who reacted would not give them this chance, the pedals had not been withdrawn, and the people had already grabbed it, and the sleepy-eyed sailors and boatmen were obedient to the battlemen who were fully armed with the brocade guards, and the cold and shining blades were forced to come forward.

Wang Tong watched all this not far away, and when he saw this, he said with a smile:

"Lord Yu, our soldiers are obedient, but they are too rigid and dogmatic, telling them that no matter how to build the fort first, there will be no one to take care of the ship, and they don't want to think about it, why are they building this fort?"

Next to Wang Tong was a carriage, the curtain of the carriage had been lifted, Yu Dayou was drinking tea there, and when he heard Wang Tong's words, he replied with a smile:

"It's good to be obedient as a soldier, the more you think about it, the more you can't fight hard, it's you who should think about it!"

Wang Tong laughed a few times, but did not answer, Yu Dayou said in the carriage:

"Three ships ran, what should I do with these three ships, just let them run like this?"

"Don't worry, my lord, someone has already gone to Haikou to deliver a message just now!"

Wang Tong replied confidently, Yu Dayou looked in the direction of Haikou, and he had already run far along the shore, he also nodded with a smile, and continued to say with emotion:

"The world is the old man's hometown of Fujian, and there are big ships and good ships that can be built in Zhejiang, but this ship has become a troublesome business, dozens of hundreds of people on the ship, trafficking and smuggling at sea, their own family is called a maritime merchant, but at sea it is not possible to rob it, to put it bluntly, it is a pirate, a scourge, a scourge!"

Tianjin is near the sea, the wind is already strong, as long as the sail is raised, the ship can start, the three sea ships slowly to the middle of the Haihe River, the sails of the mast and the auxiliary mast have been raised, and the ship begins to accelerate.

Looking at the anxious jumping feet on the shore, and the brocade-clothed guards swimming back to the river bank in embarrassment, the sailors on the boat all thought that they had escaped, and they were all very proud.

Some of the water pointed at the people on the shore and cursed, while others stood on the side of the boat and took off their pants and made all kinds of unsightly movements.

The accents of the sailors are quite strange, I don't know if it's the dialect over there, anyway, it's not the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard are people from Hejian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, so they can't understand it at all.

Those people on the shore could understand it, and spread it privately, and everything they heard was to look at the brocade guards laughing, which was quite canceled.

The wharf is very lively, under the escort of the soldiers, a group of people are still in full swing, but there are a group of idlers in the outer circle who look at the excitement and laugh, as if Tianjin Jinyiwei has done something embarrassing.

Seeing the three big ships walking towards Haikou, when they entered the sea, there was really nowhere to chase.

Suddenly heard a few muffled thunderous sounds, the noise on the bank of the Haihe River was suddenly suppressed, and everyone was frightened......*********** "Useless rabbit cubs, dozens of steps away, how can you not hit it with a shot, you have to let it go!" ”

Tan Huo looked at the direction of the upstream and cursed, no matter how fast the boat ran was not as fast as the galloping horses on the shore, the news of the three ships reached the nearest position near Haikou early.

This side is different from the busy upstream, the artillery here has long been unloaded to the shore, at that time it was a ship with a cannon, and after leaning on the shore, it was directly dragged up by cattle and horses.

The cannons here also have that kind of primitive gun carriage, which is carried by carts underneath and fixed with iron bars and wooden frames, and there are six six-pound guns.

"Hurry up and calibrate, charge and load, everyone moves, let a ship run out of front of our eyes, and everyone will have no face in the future."

Tan Huo urged tightly, hundreds of strong men were busy with their spirits, and the six cannons were lined up along the river bank, and the innermost cannon was the first to be loaded.

More than a dozen people adjusted their direction together, aimed at the three ships that were slowly moving, and after aiming, they ignited and fired, and with a loud bang, the cannonballs flew out with a roar.

On the ship at the head of the three sea-going ships, there was a nimble sailor, where the scolding had gone far away, and the people were still jumping on the side of the ship, which was a showmanship, and the busy companions there kept cheering and cheering him, and making others crazy.

Suddenly a loud noise was heard on the shore, and the whistling sound came quickly, and the half of the sailor's body that was jumping there suddenly exploded, and the flesh and blood were shattered and splashed everywhere, and the faces of the people on the side were all over the body.

The flesh and blood could not slow down the momentum of the six-pound cannonball, and in the short time before the sailors on the ship could react, they passed through two people, and hit the auxiliary mast without dying, and the mast broke with a "click", and fell to the front.

At this time, the people on the sea ship reacted, and some people also reached out to wipe the flesh and blood on their faces, looked at the mutilated bodies of their companions around them, and after being quiet for a while, they shouted loudly, seeing such a tragic scene at such a close distance, these sailors who had just thought they had escaped immediately collapsed.

But the ship's cries and shouts were immediately drowned out by the roar of artillery, and six guns were fired in sequence.

The widest part of the Haihe River is 600 paces, and the water area that can sail large ships is about 300 steps from the shore, and the range of these cannons made by Wang Tong is sufficient.

The cannonballs were nothing more than solid metal balls, and when they hit the hull of the ship, it was a hole, and the ship could continue to sail.

But Tan Huo kept adjusting the angle of the artillery, and the landing point of the shells was getting lower and lower, and when the artillery was fired for the third time, the holes in the hull were gradually below the waterline, and the ship running in front had begun to sink into the water.

The ship was about to sink after the third round of artillery fire, and the sailors on board raised their white flags and shook desperately against the shore.

"Keep reloading, shout with me, lower the sail!!"

Because the sea breeze was quite strong and there was no smoke in the air, Tan Huo saw the expression on the ship and immediately ordered his subordinates to shout together.

The shouts of more than 100 people in unison made the people on board hear it clearly, and the sinking ship in the front blocked the way of the two ships behind.

Looking at the swarthy muzzles of the six cannons on the shore and the broken limbs, the people on the boat were desperate to be lucky, and obediently lowered their sails.
