In the evaluation of Xuzhou, the East China Sea Thousand Households have never been regarded as the storage zài that should be guarded against, and even evaluated as obscene, this time the imperial court will send an army to suppress Xuzhou, the East China Sea Thousand Households are so close to Xuzhou, naturally they are also among the levies, but the East China Sea Thousand Households asked the people of the Second Brigade to take care of their arsenals, and took the initiative to discuss, can everyone tacitly report a victory, just say that the Thousand Households are determined to stick to Haizhou, thwart the Xuzhou thief army several times, and finally ensure that Haizhou is not lost.

The Second Brigade didn't bother to pay attention to this boring request, or the Haizhou Salt Affairs Yamen was brilliant, and directly said that all the thieves gathered in Xuzhou, and Haizhou had nothing to do, but Haizhou was related to finance and taxation, and the officials and soldiers were not allowed to leave without permission, so it was vague in the past.

In fact, the family members and related people of the Second Brigade really want to fight with the official army, but their side is more idle than Li Wu's Suzhou regiment, the enemy will not come at sea, and the other three parties each have a brigade in Xuzhou and a large number of regimental training, and it is a great victory, the only action is to adjust the defense everywhere, guard the rear, and watch the brothers win a hearty victory, everyone feels envious and greedy, and feels that the place where they are is really boring.

At the end of the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the sea breeze was cold, but it was a sunny day, and the families who had returned from patrolling the port were talking listlessly.

"I heard that the second master defeated the enemy army in Shandong, and said that the second master was fighting in front, and the fifth master led a thousand people to rush in directly from the east, which is called a pleasure!"

"Jin Ye's side is happy, a Tucheng-like Zhuangzi, directly destroyed by more than 30 artillery, and then 10,000 officers and thousands of regiments were taken prisoner, I heard that the owner of the village brought ten pairs of twin sisters to beg for mercy, Jin Ye waved his hand and said no"

"The sixth master is not bad over there! The army drove directly to Yangzhou Mansion to capture prisoners, and the officers and soldiers over there obediently came over as prisoners, how majestic this is, look at us! ”

As soon as it came to this, everyone was wilted, and someone looked at the sea and said sullenly: "I just came here to eat fish and shrimp, and I can also watch the sea and see the boat, I thought I was in a happy place, but it was really boring, this is the work of doing group training, and at that time, I thought I could fight more wars when I was promoted to become a leader!" ”

"Don't look down on the regimental exercises, the regimental exercises on the side of the master and the second master are all happy, the younger brother of Director Zhong led thousands of regimental exercises to drag the officers and soldiers to death in Suzhou, and the master sent a message to the brigades to commend them, have you forgotten?"

Here is sighing, but I heard a bell on the bell tower ringing, just rang, and then I saw someone waving the flag on the bell tower lookout, the family members have been stationed here for so long, they can also understand the signal in the port, know that this is a ship to come, although the first month time is continuous, but the overall is less, look at the flag to come to the fleet of more than ten big ships, this is really rare.

"Could it be the Yu family's ship coming?" Someone muttered that at this time, I can't think of another fleet coming over, and the rest of the fleet came over to transport away the Liaodong specialties accumulated last year.

According to the code of conduct in Haizhou Port, whenever a fleet of more than six large ships enters the port, each battery must be ready to open fire, and the family members in the port, whether they are on duty or not, must be lined up on standby, ready to be dispatched and commanded.

These are all rules and regulations, everyone is doing things according to the rules, I don't think there is anything wrong, but the families below can't think of the guards on the two towers, at this time they don't dare to have the slightest slackness, staring at the sea tightly, standing there looking into the distance The family members are specially selected, their eyesight is very good, and some of them are even directly promoted from the group practice because of their outstanding eyes.

"Grab the hammer, and when I shout, you will ring the bell to warn you, this is not right at sea!" The watchman didn't care about the biting sea breeze, tightened his leather robe, and continued to look, shouting at the bottom while watching, and the group training on call there had already picked up the hammer that rang the bell, ready to warn at any time.

"There are so many ships from there, it's only the beginning of the first month!" This Ding said while watching.

The dozen or so ships are all big ships of 600 materials, although they are not the largest, but they are also the façade of the merchant fleet, and the small fleet of small ships is the flagship, and the family on the tower can see that these dozen or so large ships are full of sails, and they sail fast on the sea, and at such a speed, there must not be too much cargo on board, which is even more wrong.

If it is the fleet of the Yu family, most of them are sand boats, and only their family sand ships will be empty when they enter the port, and most of the rest of the fleet come from Fujian, Guangdong and even other oceans, and it costs a lot of money to run and risk life and death, how can it be empty, even if it is filled with special products of little value, it is necessary, so at least it can offset part of the cost, unload here, and then fill the goods back.

And when the ship arrives at the sea around Haizhou Port, it must be as slow as possible, because the sea outside Haizhou is covered with sandbars, and it is easy to run aground and collide, so everyone is naturally unwilling to take this risk, so this full sail sailing is really wrong, do you want to rush in and raid?

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, the watchman bent down to pick up two red flags from his side, as long as his red flag waved, the bell rang rapidly, the entire Haizhou port would immediately be on full alert, at this time, but saw that the red and black flags were raised on the dozen or so ships, so the watchout family moved slowly, squinted his eyes and looked over, but did not order the bell to be ringed, but turned to the position of the fort and began to dance the flag.

"Why did the Li family's fleet come at this time, and they were still in such a hurry." The family danced the red flag while chanting, and several forts would prepare to fire when they saw this flag, but the vigilance in other parts of the port would not be raised, which was a balanced response.

The recognition of the flag is the recognition of the flag of Haizhou Port for the Li family, so there is no need to be on alert, but the action of the Li family's fleet is very wrong, so the artillery on the battery must be prepared, in fact, the family on the tower is very confident in the battery, many people think that the battery can only hit a fixed distance and point, but they did not expect that the artillery of the Haizhou Port Fort can control almost all the sea within the range.

The fast-sailing Li family fleet finally slowed down when it was about to enter the port, even so that other ships hurriedly dodged, and even some of the ships bumped into each other, the people at sea are not afraid of the sky, and some people are scolding directly on the ship, but when they see the appearance of the other party's ship, they dare not speak out, the sailors and crews on these dozen ships are all fierce and vicious, and some people are still injured.

Everyone was frightened, and hurriedly turned the rudder to make way, but they had some thoughts to see the excitement, thinking that this Haizhou Port is a hedgehog, and if you want to come here to toss, it will kill yourself, and see how you die.

Although there was no such thing as a great enemy at the berth of Haizhou Port, the four six-pounder guns were directly pushed out, and a special iron car was launched, which was loaded with all kinds of utensils, and the shells had begun to burn on the charcoal stove, and there were people stirring the mud, and when the time came, the red-hot shells were shot out, which could directly ignite the deck.

The three Lian Zheng who were on duty were watching from the high place in the port, although they were on guard, they did not order an attack, because the fleet entered the port recklessly, and the speed of the ships was too fast, but the others came according to the rules, including hanging out the flag, the Li family and the Yu family had privileges in this Haizhou port, and they could enter directly by hanging the flag, but other sea ships had to arrange for the sampan to come over to report before they could be accepted into the port.

Since the Li family's fleet is in accordance with the rules, then follow the rules, and you can see someone standing there waving their hands on the bow of the other party's ship, except for the busy crew on the ship, they are all like this, but they don't know what they are shouting from a distance.

The sails were lowered, the ship slowly adjusted its position to get closer to the berth, and the shouts of those on the boat could be heard clearly: "There are a lot of people on board, some people are injured, don't do it, don't do it." ”

It seems that the people on this fleet also know that the defense of Haizhou Port is very powerful, for fear that the people here will misunderstand, and when the ship docks, without waiting for the people on the shore to pass, the ship directly smoothed the pedal, this fast action made the Zhao Ziying family on the port startled, and the fire gun was immediately set up, but then I saw a one-armed man stumbling down, and the Yunshan line manager in charge of the port recognized this person, this is one of Li Laohai's nephews, who has been here a few times, and the young man who was domineering at that time is now full of haggardness, The left forearm is also gone, and it looks like it has been cut off with a knife and then roasted with fire, which is very scary.

It is difficult for one-armed people to grasp the balance, this person fell directly on the dock after getting off the boat, the port steward was stunned, and hurriedly went up to help, the one-armed man said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Yuan, the young master of my family is on the boat, we are being chased by the enemy, there is no way to come and take refuge, please take care of the masters of Xuzhou!" ”

After finishing speaking, he struggled to kowtow, but Steward Yuan was stunned, and then reacted and said: "You are allies in Xuzhou, so naturally you should take them in, let everyone get off the boat and wait for the arrangement, if you are injured, you should also rest well, let all of you lose your weapons, don't have any tricks, otherwise everyone will hurt your peace." ”

The Li family's fleet made a lot of money from Zhao Ziying, but in fact, it also helped Zhao Ziying a lot, the two sides are allies, since the allies were chased and killed by the seafarers, Zhao Ziying naturally has the obligation to take in and receive help, and this Yuan can also call the shots.

Hearing Steward Yuan say this, the one-armed man Li Simin subconsciously wanted to relax, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Xuzhou Great Grace, Brother Yuan's Great Grace, the Li family will never forget!" ”
