Hangzhou Bay.
The sky is clear, and Hangzhou Bay is lively.
Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.
The 20,000 sailors and 30,000 army troops assembled here held a party today and held a unique dragon boat race.
The people in Hangzhou also came to the beach to watch.
After all, dragon boat rowing is practiced every year, but it is not common to row on the sea.
Especially when the scale is so large, it is so lively.
The army even brought in 3,000 ducks, and after the game, they would release 3,000 ducks into the sea for everyone to catch as much as they wanted.
Anyone can catch it, and whoever catches it is anyone's.
Life is not good now, if you can catch two ducks, you can also improve your life.
And the recent unsatisfactory life, going to the sea to catch ducks, can be regarded as poor and happy, and happy in suffering.
Drums rumble.
Long dragon boats set off in unison, riding the wind and waves on the blue sea.
The dragon boat is very slender and more suitable for rowing in rivers and lakes with little merry.
Dragon boating on the sea is indeed a great test of skill.
But when hundreds of long dragon boats race together on the sea, it is indeed very spectacular.
Thousands of warriors, all in unison, shouted the trumpet together under the trumpet of the bow commander, to the drummer's drumbeat.
Sweat splashes, waves splash.
The people on the shore were fascinated by the sight and applauded loudly.
Bay side.
Hundreds of large and small warships, troop carriers, grain ships, reconnaissance boats, and communication boats of the naval division were neatly parked at the military port.
There weren't a few people in the military port, and everyone came to watch the dragon boat race.
For the soldiers, they didn't really want to go south.
Who doesn't know that King Zhao uses soldiers like a god and is known as the god of war.
Running to Guangzhou to fight, this is delivering food to the door.
This Dragon Boat Festival may be the last time everyone relaxes before they set out.
The soldiers and horses have been assembled, the grain, grass and ordnance have been loaded onto the ship, and the soldiers have been reorganized, and tomorrow they will set sail.
"One, two, three, hey, hey" "One-two-three" "Hey, hey, hey" A dragon boat is like an arrow from the string, riding the wind and waves, leaving other dragon boats far behind.
Everyone worked hard to row the pulp, if they won the first place, it would be a full 840 yuan, not paper money, but a real Zhenguan copper dollar.
They rowed a big dragon boat, and there were forty-two people on one dragon boat.
There are thirty-six rowers, one in the front and one in the front and one in the front and one in the flag, one in the drum, one in the gong, and one in the singing of the gods.
If they win, they will have 20 yuan each.
This bounty, also known as the bonus, was taken out by the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the top ten all had different rewards, and even the 3,000 ducks were also bought by the Chamber of Commerce.
"Push harder" This team of sailors from the Dengzhou fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division, with their professional skills, left others far behind.
Ahead, the sea and the sky are colorful.
"What's that?"
The outpost pointed ahead in surprise.
A tall mast.
Then, a flag.
"Blue Flag" Since Lingnan turned against and the imperial court issued an order prohibiting sea ships from going south, although there are still sea ships in and out of Hangzhou Bay, it is far less than in the past.
After all, there are so many ships for domestic sales and to Silla Dongying.
"Blue Flag" Another mast appeared, and a second blue flag appeared.
The "Blue Flag" sentry was shocked, and then exclaimed, "It's the Southern Army" The blue Jiaolong Banner is the naval flag of the Imperial Court of the Prison State, and the army is the Panlong Banner.
The third mast appeared, and the third dragon blue flag appeared.
By this time, the first ship had already revealed much more.

White Sails.
The hull of a boat painted white on the side of the boat.
It was a long, narrow battleship.
The whole ship has a double-deck gun deck, and a total of 48 guns are the new Yinglong-class battleships of the Imperial Court Navy.
This is a large warship that even the current imperial court sailors have not equipped with.
Larger, longer, with more artillery fire, and more soldiers than the main battleships of the Imperial Navy.
Even the ship deck is stronger.
"Battleship" "Battleship of the Southern Army" One battleship after another appeared in the sky.
Blue sky and blue sea.
Battleships in groups.
White sails dotted.
The drummers and gong players had stopped beating the gongs, and the pulpers had no one to paddle anymore.
Everyone looked up ahead.
A huge fleet appeared, and it appeared so suddenly.
They are behind.
The dragon boats are still struggling to move forward.
The second place was a long way from the first place, but suddenly, the first place did not move.
"What's wrong with them" "These people are stupid, aren't they?"
"It's just a contempt for people."
"Brothers, step up your rowing, surpass them, and let the people of their sailors also see the strength of our infantry."
The sentry is cheering hard.
It turned out that the teammates who were supposed to be paddling hard also stopped.
Someone reached out and pointed behind him.
"Quick Look" The sentry turned his head, stunned.
"A lot of boats" "Ah, it's a battleship.
Quick turn" The dragon boat will not turn around, and when they turn back during the race, it is the crew who turn around and row in a different direction.
The first dragon boat had adjusted its direction and started rowing back.
The second one was also busy getting up and changing positions.
Behind them.
"It's pretty lively."
Zhang Chao stood on the deck, looking at the panicked dragon boats.
Cheng Qian stood next to him, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival." ” He couldn't help but think of last year's Dragon Boat Festival, when the emperor's break with him began.
He was in the palace and took away the right to supervise the country.
And Ma Zhou and many other important ministers were demoted out of the capital.
It was a May storm.
Although there was some relief after that, in the end, the father and son came to an end.
There was a magical scene in Hangzhou Bay.
The dragon boats, which were struggling to be the first, ran back in a hurry.
And behind them, a huge fleet is like a tiger driving a flock of sheep.
On the dragon boats, those dragon boaters lost their minds.
"Fuck, where did these fleets come from?"
"Of course it's from Guangzhou, from Fuzhou, I need to say."
"We haven't beaten them yet, why did they come first" "Hastily" "Hurry up, they're coming."
Compared to the huge warships, those slender dragon boats are really too small.
The battleship sailed by, and the waves set off directly overturned the dragon boat into the sea.

A group of dragon boaters fell into the water and scolded while swimming.
On the battleship, the sailors of the Southern Navy laughed at those unlucky guys.
"Brother, let's go first and wait for you at the military port."
Port.
Dock.
"The Dragon Boat Has Returned" "It's so fast, it's back so soon."
"No, it's not a dragon boat in front, it's a big boat."
"That's a battleship."
The Hangzhou officials, who were sitting on the dock and enjoying themselves with the people, and the generals and colonels of the army, also noticed that something was wrong.
"Battleship" The sailor general stood up suddenly.
"Your Majesty has transferred another sailor," Zhejiang Daoxuan Fu made Liu Xun stroke his beard and said with a smile.
"No, that's not our sailor."
The general's face was heavy.
"Transferred from Elsewhere" The sailor general looked back at Liu Xun, "If my expectations are correct, this should be the rebel fleet."
Liu Xuanfu envoy, the southern army called. ” Liu Xun was stunned.
Of course, because he opposed the new law, he was demoted to the end by the prince when he was in charge of the country.
Last year, he was transferred back to the DPRK, and this year he was appointed as the envoy of Zhejiang Daoxuan, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
If others still have some sympathy for the Southern Army or something, Liu Xun is absolutely unwilling to see the crown prince and Zhang Chao succeed.
"What are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding."
After the general finished speaking, he turned around, "Ring the alarm bell, all the officers and men will return to the military port, board the ship to prepare for battle, and prepare to meet the enemy." ” He left Liu Xun behind and hurried to the military port.
At this time, Liu Xun finally realized that this was not a joke, he picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked carefully.
The blue dragon flag, the overwhelming white sails, these are hundreds of warships.
"Zhang Chao" The clairtelescope in Liu Xun's hand fell to his subordinates.
The people on the dock finally discovered the anomaly.
"The Southern Army is coming" Someone shouted.
Then countless cheers rang out.
"Oh my God, the Southern Army is finally here."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally called."
"The Prince is Coming" "King Zhao is here."
"Welcome the prince" "Go" "Go Together" Liu Xun, who was already dizzy, fell directly to the ground when he heard the cheers of the port.
The soldiers who were on leave had not yet had time to run back to the military port, and the warships in the port were not well manned and could not be dispatched.
The naval fleet led by Zhang Chao had already entered the port of Hangzhou, blocking the fleet that was preparing to march south to Guangzhou.
Hangzhou city.
Many soldiers were still eating and drinking in the city.
There were officers blowing whistles in the streets.
"Assemble, urgently assemble, all soldiers return to the camp" A soldier was shirtless and holding a chicken leg in his hand.
"Brother, what's going on, this holiday isn't over yet."
"Cancel the vacation, everyone immediately returned to the camp, and the Southern Army called."
"Where did the Southern Army come from?"
"At sea, of course."
"How many people" "The overwhelming white sails, hundreds of warships, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people."
"Oh."
The soldier nodded, "I'll go back and get my clothes." ” After saying that, he ran back to the restaurant.
After a while, the officer did not see anyone come out.

Ran in and saw where there were still soldiers.
As soon as I asked, a group of soldiers had just slipped through the back door.
In the military port.
Looking at the Southern Army Fleet that had blocked the gate of the military port and the water village, looking at the cannon window that had been opened, and looking at the black hole in the artillery.
"General, what should we do?"
The Lord will untie his sword from his belt and throw it aside.
"Lower the red flag and raise the white flag."
"General" "At this point, there's no point in us resisting.
Anyway, this was originally just an infighting, and it would not be a shame for us to vote for the prince. ” A group of generals couldn't help but be discouraged.
Hit, can't beat.
Now they are blocked, they don't even have a chance to fight back, their ships are not even full of sailors, the boats can't move, how to fight Besides, the southern army is strong, what to fight.
