I do research in ancient times

With an order, the fleet moored in the seaport outside Xianyun City quickly assembled, sailed and anchored, and headed aggressively towards Bailukou.

He Yue Jingsheng didn't take the matter too seriously.

After all, it wasn't a day or two for the barbarians to occupy Bailukou. The scout ships patrolling the sea every day found out the details of the garrison at the mouth of the river early in the morning.

The Yesaha tribe is regarded as a first-class shipping leader in Xihu, but its comprehensive strength is completely different from that of the Yechao family.Yesaha can barely guard Bailukou, but if he really wants to threaten Tangzikou or even Xianyun City, that is definitely wishful thinking.

The reason why the Hu people have been allowed to act above their heads is because it is not so easy for the He Yue family to seize Bailukou. The location and value of Bailukou does not need to compromise the family's strength to fight the Hu people.

He Yue Jingsheng was very confident in himself.

As long as it wasn't for Nanjun Lu Bei's fleet going northward, his fleet would sail unimpeded in the northern seas.

Lu Bei's sea fleet is unrivaled in the world, and his own is slightly inferior. He Yue Jingsheng does not deny this difference, and has been paying attention to Lu Bei's movements.

The two families are bounded by Huiyan Mountain. The Lu family's fleet has been moored at Nanjiangkou recently. Everything is as usual, and no abnormalities have been found.

Therefore, He Yue Jingsheng felt that it was either the Frontier Army or the Xihe King who raided Bailukou, but neither of these two sides had boats, and it was impossible to get out of the river mouth, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

With such certainty, the entire fleet did not feel the tension of the imminent war at all.With the horizontal sail raised and the sun on the side, the atmosphere is relaxed like going on a long journey.

The flagship of He Yue Jingsheng is called Xianyun, and it is the main warship named after Xianyun City, the largest seaport of He Yue's family. There are floating boards on both sides of the hull to stabilize the balance, and the hull is equipped with rackets and paddles. The momentum is amazing .

Because of her absolute confidence in her strength, the Xianyun took the lead, along the Beishan coast, and soon arrived at the waters near Bailukou.

It was high tide at this moment, and the sea water near Bailukou rushed to the beach, pushing up waves of white water walls.The Xianyun has been a large ship for hundreds of years, and it will inevitably sway and sway in the high tide water. The tide at Bailukou is notoriously fierce, and it is almost impossible to stop the ship near the sea.

"Stop why stop?! Just rush in! Let's talk on the beach!"

With a wave of He Yue Jingsheng, he ordered the Xianyun to turn its head to adjust the rudder, preparing to rush directly into the Wuzhi River in the direction of the tide.

So what if Bailukou is taken over by someone?The Wuzhi River has a trumpet mouth, and the width of the estuary is much wider than that of ordinary rivers. When a boat sails in the river, the crossbow arrows on the bank may not be able to hit the target.

Besides, they still have kerosene on board.

The kerosene is a secret obtained from Nanjiang Estuary by all means at home. It is said that Lu Bei discovered the fairy island overseas where kerosene flows.

If the situation is not right, just throw the kerosene up and burn it all. The person who has been fighting with Sihu Yezaha for half a day must have suffered a lot of vitality, and it is impossible to recover so quickly.

Taking advantage of the other party's unstable foothold, it is natural to take advantage of the fire to rob and make trouble, otherwise, wouldn't it be a great opportunity to get a bargain? !

With such certainty, the fleet began to adjust its direction and attack Bailukou with the help of the tide.

Standing at the bow of the boat, He Yue Jingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Bai Lulu who was getting closer, his face was as steady as Mount Tai.

At the mouth of the river, a large flag is waving in the wind, with a big "seal" written on it.

The guards on the side stepped forward and reported the latest discovery in a low voice.

"General, there are quite a few soldiers on the shore wearing frontier uniforms shouting loudly, warning us not to approach."

Oh, it's the Feng family.

Then it doesn't matter much.

He Yue Jingsheng smiled contemptuously.

The Feng family didn't have a boat, and they haven't expressed their position for the time being. Even if Bailukou was robbed by him, it would be unreasonable. In name, Dongshan King is also one of the emperors of the Ye Dynasty. If there is a misunderstanding, the land cannot be returned.

"It's okay, just go straight there, don't worry about those wild legs."

"Here!"

With an order, He Yue's fleet ignored the warnings of the Bailukou defenders, and sailed straight towards the mouth of the river, and the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster.

On the Yuzui slope on the beach, Feng Kai put down his binoculars and gave an order to the guards on the side. A red flag appeared on the top of the mountain and waved back and forth three times against the wind.

The next moment, more than a dozen coastal defense guns fired at once, and the shells rushed out of the gun bore with the sound of piercing wind, and roared towards the oncoming fleet, the first of which was the Xianyun sailing at the forefront!

boom--!

There was an explosion, and the hull shook violently.

He Yue Jingsheng, who had never had the experience of being headshot by a shell, was immediately stunned on the spot.If it wasn't for the guards on the side who rushed over to hold him down, this powerful figure in He Yue's family would probably have to confess to him under a broken mast.

"This... what is this thing?!"

Surprised and angry, Mr. He Yue let out a roar, coughing and coughing from the smoke from the gunpowder explosion.

But before he could figure out the situation, the second round of explosive shots followed.

Boom-boom-boom-

The roar of shells was deafening.

This time Mr. He Yuelang was not very lucky. He was too close to the bomb landing point, and his personal guard was directly killed. He himself was pushed out of the deck due to the excessive impact force and fell into the rough sea.

Except for the two warships sailing at the rear of the He Yue fleet that came all the way, all the rest were caught by the coastal defense guns of the frontier army.Some tails were broken, some buttocks were blooming, and some were cut in half, and the deck was broken into two pieces.

"The boat is leaking, run!"

The oarsmen below the deck were struggling to climb up. If they couldn't get out of the cabin in time, they would really suffocate to death in the sea coffin.

The only two surviving warships were stunned by the sudden change.

They were originally small servants who could only follow the big ship because of the old shape of the ship, but suddenly a thunderstorm fell from the sky, and before they could figure out the situation, the big ship in front of them was beaten to pieces. The remaining two of them survived.

Now, the sea surface of Bailukou is full of the wreckage of the former ship. Many Xianyun sailors were ups and downs in the waves, screaming miserably, calling for help, and the two boats finally came back to their senses.

"Quick! The big captain has fallen into the sea, let the boat go!"

I don't know who yelled first, and all the boats rushed to rescue people.

They didn't dare to approach Bailukou any more, and retreated if they wanted to catch He Yuejingsheng.

But at this moment, it was the high tide period, and the tide waved and waved, pushing the boat towards the beach, but the sailors on the two warships were so frightened that their eyes were tearing apart.

"Paddle! Fucking paddling! Why don't you eat, do you want to be empowered by Tianlei!"

"Come closer, let's just jump into the sea!"

Roaring his head hoarsely, his voice was full of despair.

In fact, there is no need for him to curse. The lucky people on the two ships also know that the closer they are to Bailu Port Beach, the closer they are to death. They can already vaguely see those giant black cylinders. Almost all the Heyue fleets in the world were destroyed.

Can't pass, absolutely can't pass, the past will die!

Under the threat of death, there were more than 200 people in the two ships, except for those who went to the sea to rescue people, all of them were raising their arms and reversing their oars.

They did not dare to stop for a moment, and used their strength to create a miracle. They resisted the turbulent tide of Bailukou, stabilized the boat in the sea outside Bailukou, and did not take a step closer.

Then there was a very funny scene in the history of the industry.

After the two warships, which were supposed to be majestic, were locked on by the black coastal defense guns, they fled out like two fat ducks caught in the kitchen, flapping their wings desperately.

When everything was calm, the two ships were full of collapsed sailors, all of them were too tired to get up, let alone throw fire oil cans to fight back.

He Yue Jingsheng was lucky. After falling into the sea, he was escorted by his personal guards and waited for the rescue boat.

It's just that he was injured internally by the explosion, not to mention bleeding from his seven orifices, and he also lost hearing in both ears. Now he is lying unconscious on the warship, and he doesn't know if he will have a chance to wake up again.

After this battle, more than half of He Yue's fleet in Xianyun was damaged, and a lot of vitality was injured.

Patriarch He Yue's prestige was greatly reduced because of his younger brother's mistakes, and he fell into a disadvantage in the court battle of King Dongshan, and was questioned by various branches of the family.

And the coastal defense artillery of the Feng family suddenly fired a thunderbolt in the chaotic political situation of the Ye Dynasty, which immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

The aristocratic families in the Central Plains suddenly woke up and found that the leader of the poor soldiers in the border towns they had always looked down upon had become a powerful figure that should not be underestimated.

The Feng family seized Yanling in the north - Shizikou, and expanded the east road to Bailukou, holding the entire Wuzhi River Basin in their hands. Unknowingly, their sphere of influence was no smaller than that of the two emperors...

This cognition made the mentality of the aristocratic families a little unbalanced.Fortunately, the territories occupied by the Feng family are all bitter, cold and barren. The two sides of a Wuzhi River are barren, and the aristocratic families look down on them, which is barely a consolation.

At the beginning, He Yue's family made a fuss for a while because of the matter of He Yue Jingsheng. They issued a call for crimes, and they asked Emperor Guangtong to send troops to crusade. As a result, there was a lot of thunder and rain, and the coastal defense artillery exposed his strength. He Yue In the eyes of King Dongshan, the clan was like a tiger whose claws had been removed. Sima Ye only pretended to comfort him, with a very correct attitude, but he didn't give any benefits.

According to legend, Emperor Guangtong personally went to He Yue's mansion, visited the deaf He Yue Jingsheng, and had a long talk with him.

God knows how Sima Ye had a long conversation with the deaf and comatose person. Anyway, he did a very good job of comforting him, so that the Chaozhong family couldn't find any faults.

Only word of mouth, no benefits.

The reason why Sima Ye didn't give it was very simple.

The court's first priority now is to crusade against the false king.Before the snow falls this winter, the Dongshan King's army will completely wipe out the main force of the Xihe King in Zhuozhou. Now everything has to give way to the war, and the emperor's internal treasury is not rich.

Moreover, if He Yue Jingsheng hadn't insisted on docking in disregard of the frontier army's warning, the other party would not have "mistaking" He Yue's fleet for the Xihu army who had come to increase its personnel. Speaking of which, He Yue Jingsheng was also responsible.

Patriarch He Yue was so angry that he almost burned the edict with a fire,

What "misunderstanding" and what "responsibility"? !Isn't his mother just looking at the Feng family's backs now so tough that they don't dare to offend them, for fear of a war on the two fronts and the enemy on both sides!

He also said it so grandly, he used to step on Feng Bosheng's face and beat him without saying anything. When the aristocratic family missed it, no one cared what those coolies in the border city thought.

It's really this moment, that moment!

Yuan originally thought that it would be fine if he suffered from the dumbness, but he never expected that this was just the beginning.

He Yue's family was hurt, Dongshan King not only comforted him with words, but also secretly increased the pressure in private.

In the name of defense assistance, the imperial court placed the Imperial Army directly under Emperor Guangtong into Tangzikou and Xianyun City, approaching Pingshuo, the headquarters of He Yue's family, to infiltrate and develop its own navy's ambitions.

However, He Yue's family is not a vegetarian, and the shipbuilding technology has become more and more tightly guarded. The supply of wood that can be used for shipbuilding in Xianyun and Pingshuo was cut off overnight.

Ha ha.

Patriarch He Yue sneered.

Do you think that the He Yue clan will go downhill after losing most of the fleet?

Do not be silly.

The reason why an aristocratic family can become an aristocratic family is that it is impossible for a little storm to shake the foundation. He, Sima Ye, is too young to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble!

The chicken thief of the Feng family, Feng Bosheng looks vulgar and reckless, but in fact he has a scheming heart, playing with his own self-respect in Yongxiguan, which is not a shit, and quietly saved a lot of wealth.

A coolie who didn't say a word suddenly raised his hand, even if he was full-fledged and ambitious, Sima Ye thought his throne could be secure?

Patriarch He Yue stroked his beard and felt that it was time to consider the future of the family.

Sima Ye was not a good ship at first, he thought that relying on the concubine Xian could win the birth of a foreign relative, but now it seems that Sima Ye, like that Emperor Longcheng, is unlikely to allow the next emperor to be born in the womb of a young lady of the family.

There is no emperor in the world who has been a century-old emperor, but there are families that have survived for a century.

Although Feng Bosheng's son beat his own brother to be deaf, the cooperation between the two families has not been completely cut off.

He Yue’s family also controls the two major seaports of Xianyun and Pingshuo. He Yue’s family also has a salt factory. Although the output is not high, this offshore route can help the frontier army’s salt and grain to reach Bailukou, and it can also avoid the high taxes and fees of Nanjiangkou. Feng Bosheng should be able to understand the passing money.

Even though he was slapped in the face by others, he had to stick to it, and it would damage the family's prestige if it spread.

But there is no grievance in the world that cannot be overcome, who would make it difficult for interests?As long as you marry a young lady from He Yue's family, you can turn hostility into friendship, and it's also a good talk to repay hatred with virtue.

It's just this idea, which was quickly beaten to ashes by the cruel reality.

Three days later, the Feng family suddenly reduced the amount of salt they purchased from Nanjiangkou.

Donghu-style galleons once again appeared in the waters near Bailukou, all the way back into the Wuzhi River. It is said that the boats were full of cattle, sheep and pink salt, and the triangle sails flew on the west-winded Wuzhi River.

After the big ship was unloaded, it was loaded with clean oil and grain, and set sail from Wuzhi River Port, all the way east to the mouth of the sea and returned to the Amur River.

On the originally desolate coastline of Bailukou, many square concrete frames appeared overnight, and formed into a huge salt pond in a few days.Every day, a salt worker opens a valve to introduce seawater. After layers of sedimentation, drying, purification and stirring, it finally becomes snow-white and delicate high-quality table salt.

There is salt, oil, cattle and sheep, abundant grain and complete coastal defenses.

So far, the blockade of the Western Hu royal court on the three tribes of the Eastern Hu has been completely broken.

Nanshi City and Jiuling Lake were opened at the same time, connecting the two major water systems of the Wuzhi River and the Amur River.From this day on, there are huge sailing boats going back and forth on the river continuously, becoming two endless lifelines, injecting majestic new energy into every inch of land on both sides of the river little by little.

The center of these two lifelines is Jiuling City located in the upper reaches of the Wuzhi River.

Standing on the pier of Jiuling City, Clay finally let out a long breath as he looked at everything that was both familiar and unfamiliar in front of him.

I am back!
