Chapter 769 Huating Town
"That's smuggling, it's disobeying the imperial decree, and resisting the central government's edict. The junior navy is to exterminate pirates!"
The murderous words made Xiao Yu's heart tremble, and he felt that Fang Jun's white teeth seemed to be gleaming, like a hungry beast opening its mouth wide, showing its fangs in front of its prey.
But what Fang Jun said is correct.
The establishment of the Shibo Department is a central decree, the result of the discussions of the prime ministers in the political affairs hall, and it was finally approved after the start-up procedures of the three provinces. This is the national policy!The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River can play some tricks secretly and play around the edge, but if they dare to openly resist the national policy, they will be punished by their own national laws and regulations.
Xiao Yu, who has insight into the world, can almost predict that the Jiangnan gentry will face an extremely severe blow in the future.
Because the Jiangnan gentry who have long regarded Haimao as a taboo, it is absolutely impossible to give the meat of their mouths to Fang Jun...
With a slight sigh, Xiao Yu said dejectedly: "That's the case, the old man has brought Erlang's words to him. How to choose or not is up to them to decide. But no matter what each family decides, the Xiao family will fully support His Majesty The decree of the Central Committee and the decree of the Central Committee must spare no effort to support Erlang."
As the Tang Dynasty prospers day by day and the fortune of the country prospers, following the trend is the only way to preserve it.If you only covet the immediate interests and ignore the general trend, you will be ruined, and the wise will not do it.
*****
The navy fleet headed by the five-tooth battleship sailed down the river until it reached the mouth of the sea before turning into a southward waterway.
Here is Wusongkou.
Wusong River, known as "Songjiang" in ancient times, was also called "Wusong River" because its basin was in the territory of the ancient state of Wu.
The Wusong River was originally the last tributary of the Yangtze River before it entered the sea, and the mouth of the Yangtze River is also called "Wusongkou".After the "Huangpu seized Song" in the Ming Dynasty, the Wusong River became a tributary of Huangpu, and the mouth of the Yangtze River was still called Wusongkou, but it would be more appropriate to change it to "Huangpukou"...
However, the current Wusong River is still the most important river in Wudi. It has abundant water and runs mightily to the east. It is by no means comparable to the quiet, elegant and lacklustre Suzhou Creek in the future. The river is wide and the water surface is vast. It is known as "the ancient Wusong River, the old road is deep and wide, and it can rival Qianpu".
The five-tooth warship traveled upstream along the river mouth, and the water surface was relatively wide, but after all, it had not been dredged for many years, causing the river bed to be somewhat silted up. After entering the waterway, there were surveying boats sent ahead to measure the water depth and the width of the river bed to prevent the ship from being heavy. The five-tooth battleship with a deep draft ran aground.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Fang Jun looked at the mighty water surface, the puddles on the desolate saline-alkali land on both sides, and the tall wormwood all over the place, full of the confusion of time and space in the vicissitudes of life.
This is Huangxie Pu, which belongs to Huating Town.
If you continue upstream along this river, and turn from the bifurcated river to another river, the Huangpu River, it will be where Shanghai will be in the future.
Looking far away, the bustling city with lights, feasting, singing and horse racing after a thousand years seems to stand in front of you.
Well, there can be an avenue along the river on the left, and a tower on the right, but the weird shape of two spheres connected in series on the tower is impossible to make in this era anyway, let alone the 460-[-]-meter high……
Traveling back in time and space, things are neither people nor people!
The boat-shaped water is full of mist.
A quarter of an hour later, I saw a water fortress standing on the west bank, but it was not small in size from a distance, but it was very dilapidated. There were only a few naval warships leaning against the pier in disorder.On the contrary, countless huge logs were stacked on the shore not far from the water village, which was very conspicuous, like a huge wooden mountain.
During the Xianhe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yu Tan and Yuan Shansong successively built the Hudu Fort at the mouth of the Wusong River to protect the east wing of Suzhou. Even in the Southern Dynasties, it was also an important military town.After the Sui Dynasty conquered the Southern Dynasties, a military town named Huating Town was set up here, and naval forces were stationed at Jiangkou to defend Suzhou.
Most of the military system of the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the former Sui Dynasty. The garrison in Huating Town only changed a set of military uniforms and a set of flags, and they are still stationed here...
Looking at the vast saline-alkali land and reed marshes around him, Fang Jun felt like beeping a dog in his heart.This is his fief!How good would it be if it were the Oriental Pearl Tower 400 years later?Even the Songjiang Mansion 1000 years ago will do!But now, besides reeds, wormwood and saline-alkali land, what else is there?
What's the use of sealing this broken place to yourself?It is estimated that a bucket of grain cannot be harvested...
The fleet went straight to the water stronghold, and the garrison in the stronghold discovered this huge fleet. Many soldiers surrounded the trestle bridge and pointed at the fleet in the river, amazed.
It has been stationed here for many years, but it has never seen such a huge fleet.
Especially that five-tooth warship, be good!Is this too big?
The five-tooth battleship slowly approached the shore, and Fang Jun jumped off the warship and stepped on the trestle bridge surrounded by soldiers. Then a military general hurried over, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The last general, Yang Xiuwu, the commander of the Huating Town Navy, see Hou Lord."
Fang Jun glanced at this person, although he was very respectful, he was quite displeased.
He was dressed crookedly in armor, his face was red and smelled of alcohol, his beard was unshaven and scruffy, he looked more like a bandit than a general in the court...
"Get up, the Marquis has already written to you a few days ago, I don't know how the military building is prepared?"
Before arriving at Niuzhuji after leaving Jiangdu, Fang Jun sent someone to approach him and ordered the garrison in Huating Town to prepare the houses of the navy soldiers and the required military supplies.
Hearing that Fang Jun came up and directly asked about this matter without greeting, Yang Xiuwu had a bitter face, and said in a low voice: "This...the general received a letter from the chief executive, so he tried his best to raise military funds and start building houses. It's just... because of the limited money, I couldn't reach the goal set by the Marquis, and the manpower gap is too big. Even though I have gone all out to build the house day and night, after all, the time is too short, so...so..."
Speaking of this, he was already hesitating and sweating all over his face.
Fang Jun's prestige has been powerful since the First Battle of Niuzhuji. A hundred armored cavalry were brutally killed in the Nanshan mine and turned into blood men. Thousands of souls died under the charge of the cavalry. It is really famous!
Fang Jun has already confessed to himself, but he has not completed it himself. He is just passing the handle to others and using himself to gain prestige. How can Yang Xiuwu not be afraid?
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun didn't get angry and took the opportunity to explode. Instead, he pulled him up with a smile, and comforted him: "General Yang, why should you panic? This Marquis is not an unreasonable person. Ben Hou His Majesty issued a military order in front of His Majesty, and because of his urgency, he acted a little more hastily. General Yang has done a great job in guarding Huating Town, and he is busy with everything. They are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the military orders are so high that they dare not treat you slowly, but after all, manpower is sometimes poor. As long as you do things with your heart, this lord will naturally not be harsh on you. But if you are in front of this lord. Blame the ruthless military law!"
Yang Xiuwu was already dripping with sweat and his face was pale.
These words are said in such a soft voice, it is even more frightening than the stern voice!
Yang Xiuwu naturally knew that Fang Jun was beating himself, gritted his teeth, and said: "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Hou. From today onwards, the general will definitely follow the lead of Lord Hou, but there are military orders, and he will go through fire and water!"
Fang Jun smiled, patted Yang Xiuwu on the shoulder, did not give him any reassurance, changed the subject and said: "This place is the fiefdom of this Marquis, why doesn't General Yang take me to inspect it?"
"promise!"
Yang Xiuwu stood up, not daring to wipe off the sweat on his face, and bowed respectfully in front of Fang Jun, leading Fang Jun to look around.
The former Huating Town garrison at the side looked at the arrogant and domineering Lord Commander bowing his knees and trembling, and felt relieved... Do you really think that Huating Town is your family's world?It's all right to bully government soldiers like us, isn't he as obedient as a rabbit in front of this chief executive?A few days ago, he swore that the new chief executive would have to be thrown into the river to feed the fish if he couldn't reach Huating Town to take up his post...
Heh heh, this time wait to be cleaned up!
However, it seems that the chief executive's friendly appearance is very different from the rumored fierce appearance. I wonder if he can restrain General Yang?After all, he is a descendant of Hongnong Yang's family...
Don't worry, there is another chapter later.
