Eight in the world The flat-bottomed sand boat seemed to feel the pressure from the surrounding eyes and moved sluggishly.
The waterway of more than two miles was as long as thousands of years.
It's just that the afternoon sun always shines brightly on the same position on the wooden sail surface without moving slightly.
The sand boat finally sailed into his water gate.
Huang Zhen, Yin Shi, Tang Shixiong and other officials from all households came up at the same time.
They surrounded Zhu Qing and asked, "Master, what do you say?"
Zhu Qing didn't answer.
His feet climbing the gangway suddenly shook and he almost fell into the water.
Zhang Xuan, who was next to him, had quick hands and eyes, and supported him.
While helping Zhu Qing to walk to the deck, he shouted to everyone: "Go into the cabin and say, don't you see that the master is tired?"
Several officers from Guanjun Wanhu felt abrupt and walked into the cabin with apologetic expressions on their faces.
It's no wonder that everyone is behaving in a panic.
Since Zhu Qing took over as the leader, today is the worst situation the gang has faced.
Without fighting with all their strength, defeat has been determined.
Everyone suddenly doesn't know what to do.
Zhu Qing didn’t know either I think back then, when the Huangshui Gang was attacked by the Song Dynasty navy, he took Zhang Xuan, Huang Zhen and others to escape to Goryeo, and even after a narrow escape, he was never discouraged or said a word "submit".
At that time, he felt that he was standing on the moral high ground.
Who doesn't know that the heroes of the northern waterways have the Song Dynasty in mind, and they always only attack the fleets of the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, but never plunder the south.
The official family surnamed Zhao had just received help from the heroes of the northern waterway, but in a blink of an eye they forgot everyone's kindness and helped the enemy to wipe out the pirates.
As long as everyone is still alive, how can they be willing to submit to this ungrateful people?
But today, Fang Kui's few scoldings left Zhu Qing unable to defend himself.
Many words still echoed in his ears like loud bells.
Although from a certain perspective, Zhu Qing felt that there was not much difference between his and Fang Kui's choices.
They both went ashore to find a way out, but one family went to Wen Tianxiang and the other to Dayuan.
But Fang Kui asked a good question, "In order to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of old, weak, women and children, are you allowed to let millions of people in Jiangnan die tragically under the butcher's knife?"
No, Zhu Qing knew in his heart that neither hundreds of thousands nor millions should be sacrificed, it was not his original intention.
"He goes too far to bully others," Huang Zhen, the fourth master, roared, bringing Zhu Qing back to reality from his deep thoughts.
When he raised his head, he found that he was already sitting in the commander's seat where he usually discussed matters, and several of his subordinates who were in charge of military affairs were already quarreling.
"The Fang family just found the right opportunity and hired a capable master.
Who do you have to criticize others?
I don't want to say, let's just burn the boat.
It's not certain who will laugh in the end."
Huang Zhen, the third child, said jumping to his feet.
This fourth brother usually behaves recklessly and is famous for his hard work.
It seemed that he had learned about Fang Kui's conditions from Zhang Xuan and was ready to fight to the death.
"Yes, let's fight with them.
I'm organizing the Water Ghost Team.
I'll sneak over and dig out his ship, and I'll earn enough money from him even if I die."
The fourth man jumped up to cater to him.
In this case, it is impossible to win, but the Huangshui Gang has always been on par with the Fang family in the south.
At this moment, they would rather die than lose the face of the heroes of the northern waterways.
"I'm afraid I can't get close to Langlibao's ship.
Their ship is very fast.
Besides, Langlibao is also an experienced sailor and knows the way in the water."
Tang Shixiong, the fifth man, was always cautious.

He shook his head and reminded in a low voice.
"Then what do you think we should do?
Are we, the Huangshui Gang, just going to stick out our necks and let others chop them off?"
Lao Si Yin Shi asked, pointing to Tang Shixiong's nose.
"Their purpose was to rob food, not to kill people.
After a while, the younger brother rushed over with people and entangled the Fang family's gunboat.
The eldest brother and the second brother changed into small loaches and rushed to the shore.
The third brother and the fourth brother each drove a two thousand material giant ship , under the banner of Big Brother, he led the men to the open sea and the shore.
We have nearly 200 ships scattered, and he will be caught one by one, and it will take a day and a night."
Tang Shixiong ignored Yin Shi's questions and arranged in a clear manner.
"Lao Wu" Yin Shi retracted his finger and choked.
"As long as one of our brothers is alive, it will be up to him to regain this place in the future.
No matter how powerful the Fang family is, there will always be a time when the ship is left alone."
Tang Shixiong hugged Yin Shi and said with a smile.
He didn't take the other party's accusations to heart at all.
This is how pirates operate.
The reason why they don't kill each other is because the sea is wide and there will inevitably be fish that slip through the net in every battle.
And once a bad grudge is formed, it will be difficult to sleep in the eyes of reporters for the rest of their lives.
Over the past few hundred years, there have been many thousands-ship gangs on the sea, but they were bitten by a few enemies like maggots attached to their bones, and in the end the whole gang was wiped out.
Several heads of family members stopped talking, thinking that Tang Shixiong's suggestion was the best choice at this moment.
The cabin was enveloped in a tragic atmosphere, and everyone hugged each other, waiting for Zhu Qing's order to disperse and break out.
At this time, I heard Zhu Qing whispering in a dream: "When you do this, have you ever thought about the hundreds of thousands of old and weak people in your family?"
"Ah" Tang Shixiong and others were stunned.
The tragic feeling in their hearts was swept away, replaced by a deep worry and helplessness.
Now, everyone’s home is no longer at sea.
Whether in Liujiagang or Chongming Town, the brothers’ families have taken root.
Kublai Khan treated his ministers generously and did not incriminate others easily.
But if someone disappoints him, the punishment will be very severe.
It is common to confiscate the family and exterminate the family.
Two hundred thousand shi of food was lost, delaying the army's Northern Expedition.
I am afraid that anyone who escapes alive will inevitably be beheaded and face military punishment.
As for the family members living on the shore, whether they were in the army or not as official slaves, I am afraid that none of them will end up well.
"Then what should we do?
Shouldn't we just bow our heads and be submissive?
When have we, the heroes of the north, ever been afraid of their southern counterparts?"
Zhang Xuan asked with red eyes.
Following Zhu Qing, he and the leader felt the humiliation in front of Fang Kui.
This feeling of humiliation burned his mind, preventing him from making a normal judgment on the situation at hand.
"From the day I took you to be recruited, our northern waterway can no longer raise its head in front of them."
Zhu Qing slowly stood up and sighed.
As if he had a moment of realization, the brilliance of life returned to his face.
After a few wry smiles, Zhu Qing said to his good brothers: "Second brother, please go to Langlibao with Lao Wu again and say that I agree to surrender.
Let him find a way to keep the secret for a month.
Inside, don’t spread the news about the interception of the grain ship so that we can arrange for the evacuation of our family members.”
"This, yes" Zhang Xuan was stunned, reluctantly agreed, turned around and walked out of the cabin door.

Before leaving the cabin door, Tang Shixiong looked back at Zhu Qing.
Suddenly, his eye circles turned red for no reason.
Shaking his head, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Third and Fourth, you two will take people back to your hometown in a while, pick up the brothers' family members on the boat in batches, and first go to Daishan, Hengshan and Sijiao Islands to hide for a while.
When everyone arrives, take them with you.
Go to Fujian to pay tribute to Prime Minister Wen.
There are 200,000 shi of grain as a meeting gift.
Prime Minister Wen will not treat you badly."
Zhu Qing looked at Tang Zhen and Yin Shi and ordered solemnly.
"Yes" Tang Zhen and Yin Shi accepted the order in a low voice.
For the eldest brother Zhu Qing, they have always believed in him, and even if they are unwilling to do so, they will carry out his orders to the letter.
"If someone is unwilling to go to sea, give them some money and let them disperse.
Don't stay in your hometown and wait for someone to catch you."
Zhu Qing took out a bunch of keys and pressed them into Huang Zhen's hand.
"The family property we have accumulated over the years, as well as the proceeds from smuggling after joining the Yuan Dynasty, are all here.
You should distribute them evenly and don't let anyone complain."
"Yes."
Huang Zhen rubbed his red eyes and put away the keys.
Still feeling unwilling, he asked in a low voice, "Master, will Prime Minister Wen reuse us?"
"I heard that Yang Xiaorong and Li Xing are both generals who have been demoted, and they are all responsible for their own role in the Polu army.
Wherever you go, your status will not be lower than that of a thousand households.
As for me," Zhu Qing smiled miserably, "I have lost your majesty.
We should also go to the north for our food and give him an explanation."
"Big Boss" Tang Zhen and Yin Shi jumped over and grabbed Zhu Qing's arm firmly.
At this moment, the two finally understood why Zhu Qing arranged for Zhang Xuan and Tang Shixiong to negotiate for surrender, but left the two of them behind.
Zhang Xuan's influence in the fleet was second only to Zhu Qing's, and Tang Shixiong was very thoughtful.
With the two of them around, Zhu Qing would not be able to sacrifice his life for righteousness.
"Let it go.
If no one goes to the shore to give the port officials along the way an excuse to make them believe that the grain ship is still there.
Do you have a month to escape?"
Zhu Qing shook his arms with a smile, and from Huang Yin's He escaped from the grasp, "I have gone all the way on my own, no one else to blame.
It was me, I understood it too late.
I only saw the court, but I didn't know that above the court, there is also the country."
"Country" Huang Zhen and Yin Shi murmured, an unknown sadness and anger welling up in their hearts.
Growing up, all they heard were fathers and sons, kings and ministers.
Who ever told them the word "country"?
But these two words were just mentioned by someone from the south.
Why should Zhu Qingwu be asked for these two words?
Die without regrets.
"When you go to the south and look around more, you will slowly understand," Zhu Qing said with a smile, as if an enlightened Zen master was encouraging his confused disciples.
What a country is, Zhu Qing cannot explain clearly in a few words.
But Fang Kui, who had taken refuge with Wen Tianxiang, could stand in the country's perspective and scold him condescendingly, letting him see the blood of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River under the Mongolian butcher's knife.
Zhu Qing was dissatisfied at the time, but could not find a word to defend himself.
Unlike Confucians, pirates do not have the terms destiny and luck in their dictionary.
The pirates have never recognized that any dragon son or grandson is qualified to become the master of the entire China.

But the pirates have a clear concept of country in their hearts.
Although in their beliefs, these two words have never been explained as clearly as in southern newspapers.
However, although the previous old leader did not receive any benefit from Zhao Song, he still led his brothers to assist Zhao Song's navy to burn the Dajin warship.
However, as soon as Wen Tianxiang's command flag came out, countless heroes from Changsha to Penglai Islands were willing to bow their heads.
Wen Tianxiang himself does not have this power, but his flag represents a country.
This country does not belong to the Yuan Dynasty or the Song Dynasty.
It belongs to the thousands of Chinese people who have lived in the north and south of the Yangtze River for generations.
The court is a bastard, the emperor is a weakling, and the sanctimonious Confucian scholars are hypocrites.
But none of this can be a reason to betray the country.
You were born here.
From the moment you were born, this country has been branded deep in your blood.
No matter how you try to obliterate or cover up this, you can't change it.
Zhu Qing still clearly remembers the scene when he was ordered by Kublai Khan to escort 40,000 shi of grain to Goryeo for disaster relief last year.
Even though everyone in the Goryeo royal court knew that he was a general from the North Yuan Dynasty and had tens of thousands of households, they still couldn't forget to compliment him when they were drunk.
The general must be a Han.
I don't know where my ancestral home is.
I, Goryeo, have admired the culture of the Central Plains since ancient times.
Woolen cloth A compliment made him feel ashamed.
Although he comforted himself every day since he surrendered, telling himself that he was doing this to find a way out for the hundreds of thousands of old, weak, women and children behind him.
Hundreds of warships made way for a passage.
In the water village, a light boat sailed out.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Zhu Qingtang, dressed in a man's hat, waved gently to Brother Wan Yu.
The waves are rough on the sea, and the waves are sweeping away the romantic figures of the ages.
Just when Fang Kui and others were trying to keep the secret, how to fulfill their promise to Zhu Qing, and how to rescue 100,000 people on the shore.
The plague that swept through half of Fujian quietly ended with the arrival of midsummer.
This man-made disaster caused by Beiyuan caused immeasurable losses to Fujian.
Although the Metropolitan Government took timely preventive measures to save the large cities with concentrated populations, some rural and rural areas in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River that were too late to respond were The small town was wiped off the map forever.
Poor medical care and bad living habits have aggravated the harm of the plague.
In this era, the land is sparsely populated and there is no concept of public health at all.
In rural areas, many people use a stream for cooking, laundry, and cleaning.
Even the toilet that I use at night is flushed with stream water every morning.
As for the people downstream of the stream, they don't care, but the people upstream don't think about it.
The deep-rooted concept in people's minds that running water is not corrupt makes them think that all water is clean.
They never know, and no one has ever reminded them, how to deal with the water source once it is contaminated.
Even in the city, littering everywhere and using the outside of one's own compound as a garbage dump and cesspool is a habit that everyone can tolerate.
Anyway, the sunlight will dry out the sewage, and the garbage will be crushed by people and mixed with the soil.
As for the mosquitoes and flies that breed with garbage and sewage, there is nothing strange about it.
These little things have existed since the beginning of the world.
As long as they are not allowed to fly into the windows of your home, why bother to find out what causes them to become more and more common?
More and more.
After the outbreak of the plague, the Metropolitan Government launched many countermeasures in a timely manner.
Call on people not to flee and gather patients to designated locations for medical treatment.
Call on the people to drink boiled water and not eat raw food.
People are prohibited from littering and dumping sewage.
People were regularly sent to clean up waste, lime was sprinkled in open spaces and sewage pools to disinfect, and homeless people were recruited to build the largest sewer system in history.

But it was too late.
In big cities such as Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, and Jianpu, due to the coercive measures adopted by the government, many people still had to follow the government's requirements despite their inner resistance.
The scale of the plague was quickly controlled within a certain range, and the number of deaths due to the disease was also controlled to the lowest level in history.
But in those remote villages, even with the current control over them by the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Office, it is impossible to make all the people follow the government's orders.
Many people regard the government's notice prohibiting drinking of raw water and dumping garbage as a nuisance, and they even deliberately dump garbage on the official road to demonstrate.
After the village was affected by the plague, some people, led by the clan leader, went around to seek relatives and friends, carrying the plague and spreading it to neighboring villages.
The Metropolitan Governor's Office was very anxious about this situation.
Wen Tianxiang personally took action and sent out all the doctors he could find who had some medical knowledge.
He even promised several times the medical fee to recruit doctors who were not afraid of death and led the soldiers of the Polu Army to go to the countryside to distribute medicine and help the people fight the plague.
However, in May, large numbers of victims still began to die in individual areas.
Some people, whole families, fell on the way to escape.
There are also some tough guys who are reluctant to part with the crops in the fields and fall into the paddy fields with their hoes.
Tragedy fills the land.
Some places have become hell on earth.
At the end of May, the Polu soldiers sent to help the people fight the plague brought back even more worrying news.
Thanks to the efforts of the Polu soldiers who stayed in Fujian, the spread of the plague was controlled.
However, after the killings of Dachun and others last year and the invasion of the plague this year, a large area in central Fujian became a no-man's land.
The crops in the fields were deserted, and the grass had grown taller than the wheat seedlings.
The innocent people who fled into the big cities to escape the massacre in Beiyuan faced the threat of food shortages after experiencing the plague.
Although everyone has been eating fish for more than half a year under the leadership of Dadufu, the daily amount of grain consumed is less than one-third of the original amount.
But with millions of mouths combined, one-third of the demand is enough to bring Fujian to its knees.
The newly recovered areas of Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, as well as Qiongzhou and Liuqiu, have done their best to transfer the stored grain to Fujian and several large cities with concentrated populations.
However, the price of food in the city continues to soar, and some unscrupulous traders have begun to enrich the country and take advantage of the people's fear to hoard food.
The situation gradually became dangerous.
As the military crisis eased, internal conflicts in the areas controlled by the Metropolitan Governor became increasingly prominent.
At the beginning of June, the Chen family sent a fleet to Champa to buy grain.
At Wen Tianxiang's request, the Su family sent a fleet to bypass Wanli Shitang and go to Xiaotianzhu to buy rice.
In early June, it was hot in Fujian.
After the epidemic eased slightly, it spread in the opposite direction towards the junction of Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Jiangxi acted as the right minister, and in the Ping Dynasty, Marshal Dachun of the Song Dynasty led his troops to retreat one hundred and twenty miles, completely evacuating the troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty from Fujian.
In early June, great scholars from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jinghu, and Guangxi gathered in Fujian.
Braving the heat and the risk of being infected by the plague, they volunteered in front of the Governor's Office in Fujian and jointly requested Song Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang to attend the upcoming appointment meeting.
Reaffirm the principles of monarch and minister, take Neo-Confucianism as the foundation of the country, and write it into the constitution.
In mid-June, Zou Zhen, the deputy commander of the Polu Army, led his army to recapture Liuzhou.
Alhaya, the general manager of Jinghu in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the right prime minister of Shangshu, led troops from Jinghu South Road to fight.
They were defeated by Zhang Tang and fled in embarrassment.
Du Hu led his army to attack Yongzhou, and the defender Ma Chengwang and his son all led Ma Yingqi to surrender.
Du Hushu, his father and son, abandoned the Song Dynasty in times of crisis and committed unjust things, so he pushed them out of the tent and beheaded them.
Chen Yiben, a giant bandit on Guangnan East Road, was under the command of Mrs.
Xu.
When he heard about this, he led his troops to rebel again.
Zhang Yuan sent troops to encircle and suppress him and killed him at Bailu Mountain in Xunzhou.
At this point, most of the two roads in Guangnan fell into the hands of the Polu army, except for Temo Road, Youjiang Road and Yi and Rongzhou where the Miao people lived.
Deputy Commander Zou Zhen sent generals into the mountains to exterminate the bandits and stabilize the place.
At the same time, in accordance with Wen Tianxiang's general order, he dispatched meritorious members of the army back to Fujian to participate in the upcoming convention.

Deng Guangjian, the emperor's master, saw that the Dharma Conference was inevitable and returned to the court to resume his duties.
Xingchao, who had been silent all this time, finally responded.
The young emperor personally decreed that the law enacted by the General Assembly would become the new law of the Song Dynasty.
If it is passed, the whole country will follow it.
At the same time, the decree was issued to confer Wen Tianxiang as King Xin, Prime Minister You, Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Horses of the World, Privy Envoy, and Jie Jie Yue.
In return, Du Gui, the Minister of Household Affairs, took out a sum of silver from the Governor's Mansion and began to build a small-scale palace on the original site of Pu Shougeng's garden in Quanzhou for the Song Emperor to temporarily stay.
At the end of June, former Prime Minister Chen Yizhong returned from the city with his guests.
The former Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, who had been on the mission to Annan for more than two years in times of crisis, brought a reply from the Prince of Annan to the Song Dynasty, saying that Annan was willing to make an alliance with the Song Dynasty.
Brothers, fight against Bei Yuan together.
The remaining requirements were not mentioned at all.
The return of Chen Yizhong has added some variables to the chaotic political situation.
People are looking forward to, looking forward to, and focusing on the day when the convention will be held in the debate
