"Sounding arrow!"
Everyone was shocked - someone was coming!
The expedition team had already prepared plans for attacks on the road. [No pop-up novel website] At that moment, all the people who had guns pulled out their guns, and those who didn't all pulled out their machetes, and quickly formed a circle. Wang, who was leading the way, was so frightened that he ducked back.
"Hurry up and hold the cow, be careful not to scare the cow!" Xiong Buyou scolded as he took out the Gerinde pistol from his pocket and put on the flash cap.
At a corner of the river beach ahead, about twenty young men appeared, all dressed in Mobilei clothes. All of them were holding hook knives, and some even held crossbows. They blocked the way with a tense look. .
"There's someone blocking the road ahead!" Yellow Claw shouted, "Everyone on alert!" Then the whistle was blown.
"It's from Li!"
"No way?" Mu Min also rushed over from behind, "We Li people never engage in blocking and robbing businessmen."
"Hmph, I'm afraid they're not snatching money and goods, but this treasure." Huang Zhao glanced at Junda behind him. The woman who originally looked lifeless looked uneasy.
"Don't be anxious!" Mu Min shouted, calming down the team members who were taking out their guns. "They don't want to lay an ambush. The matter still needs to be discussed."
"I think they are probably here for Junda." Cui Yunhong whispered, "What should I do?"
Mu Min wondered if it was Huanda's boyfriend. Is the formation that Li Benqing mentioned coming? This man is really affectionate and kind. This time, a woman's natural sentimentality was aroused again, and she felt uncomfortable thinking about her husband, who had no romantic feelings at all.
"If it's true that Zhen Huan is the real one, just give him back Jianda," she said.
"How can that be okay? We promised to take her away -"
While they were discussing, they saw a few people coming over from the opposite side. One of them had a handsome face and was obviously wearing better clothes than the others. He had pheasant feathers on his head and looked quite powerful indeed. He listened about 50 steps away from the team and started shouting.
Now Xiong Buyou understood clearly: he was speaking in Hainanese vernacular. Although it was a little out of tune, it was generally understandable.
"It is indeed that Zhen Huan!" Xiong Buyou said, "He wants us to hand over Jianda."
"What should I do?" Everyone's eyes were fixed on Cui Yunhong and Mu Min. The former is the captain, and the latter is the person in charge of Li and Miao affairs.
"Hmph, even a few broken knives dare to block the road and open your eyes." Huang Claw muttered, and opened the hammer of the Remington shotgun.
"No, don't fire." Cui Yunhong quickly stopped him.
"There were only about twenty of them, and they were all over with random shooting."
"We are not familiar with the place here. Although they will be defeated in a fight. But if they make them angry and bite us, harassing and attacking us all the way, even if we have guns, we may not be able to return to Changhua Fort peacefully. .”
"Well, that's true." Huang Zhao thought it right.
Xiong Buyou said: "Besides, these people are from the opposite village. We really killed a few of them. How can we cooperate in the future?"
Mu Min said: "Let her go. Jianda is of no use to us anyway. We only took her away to save her life. Now that Zhen Huan is so kind and righteous, why should we hold on to her? ?”
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Xiong Buyou walked out of the team with his bare hands and shouted in Hainanese vernacular: "As long as you get the team out of the way, we will let you go after we pass."
Zhen Huan nodded and said: "You hand over a hostage first, and then we let each other go, so that I can trust you!"
When Xiong Buyou heard this, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. After D-Day, the time-traveling group could only impose unequal treaties on others, and how could they be blackmailed? Seeing that he was only 3o meters away, murderous intent suddenly arose in his heart, and he grabbed the Gerinde pistol in his pocket. Within this distance, he could kill Zhen Huan's corpse on the spot. Even if the opponent shoots an arrow, it may not be able to hit him from a distance of seventy or eighty meters. When the time comes, add the brothers with shotguns and kill them all.
Mu Min knew what Xiong Buyou wanted to do, and quickly shouted in Mandarin: "Don't act rashly! A fight will not end well." She turned to Cui Yunhong and said, "I will be a hostage and let him get out of the way."
Before Cui Yunhong could comment, she saw that Kunda, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up and shouted in Li dialect. After speaking quickly and urgently to Guide Wang, Guide Wang said to Mu Min: "She said she was willing to speak to Zhen Huan and ask him to give way."
Mu Min nodded, thinking it would be easier to explain. Then he said: "Tell her, wait for them to get out of the way, and we will let her go after we pass."
After hearing what Guide Wang said, a strange look appeared on Wanda's face. He shook his head and spoke again.
"She said she was willing to follow the Bahes."
Mu Min was taken aback and thought for a moment that the guide had made a mistake in the translation, but she saw that her expression was determined and she was not talking nonsense. Then he untied the rope and let her go out.
When the other party saw that they had released the people, there was a burst of joy on their faces, and the crowd behind them also cheered, waving bows, crossbows, knives and guns.
Cui Yunhong saw Juda walking in front of Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan tried to hold her hand, but she pushed him away. The man seemed a little surprised, and the two of them started talking in whispers. Seeing Zhen Huan becoming more and more impatient, waving his arms constantly, and sometimes shouting and trying to push her, Jianda remained motionless, only lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, shaking his head from time to time. The attitude is very firm.
This pantomime went on between the two groups of people for a full ten minutes. Even the cows began to eat grass. Zhen Huan had a very irritable look on his face. Finally, he suddenly turned around and walked back directly. Within a few minutes, the Li people on the river beach were all gone. Only Jianda was left standing blankly. Suddenly she squatted down. Cry loudly. The people in the expedition team were stunned.
"What kind of show is this?" Xiong Buyou muttered to himself.
Mu Min sighed: "Keep walking."
The expedition team returned to Changhua County after half a month. After bidding farewell to Mr. Wang outside the city, the group returned to Changhua Fort. Li Haiping had been working on the basic construction of the fort for more than half a month, and the fort had begun to take shape. In order not to irritate the local government, the cannons were hidden in the house and pulled out when needed.
Seeing that the expedition team returned with a full load, Li Haiping was happy and sad at the same time. The fort could not raise ten cows - I don't know what kind of cows they were. They were all incredibly large buffaloes, which looked about half an elephant. Immediately, the sailors were asked to build a simple bullpen outside the fortress. Several sailors who had raised cattle were also designated to be responsible for grazing. As for the goods returned from the transaction and the gifts received, no one was interested. They just piled them in the warehouse and waited for the ship to arrive.
A group of people had nothing to do in the fort. Apart from taking a bath in the branch of the Changhua River every day, they drank tea and spanked under the kapok tree outside the fort. During this period, a basic construction project was also carried out: a bamboo strip wall was erected at one end of the river branch for Mu Min and Ji Da to bathe. The expedition team's encounter in Zhendui Village became the most talked about topic - at first they just speculated on the truth. But gradually I started to perform it for fun. This copycat version of palace grievances has become extremely complicated under the constant saliva every day. Slowly, people began to ask to sign up to be a supporting role.
However, the heroine of this incident, Jianda, has remained silent, although she actively helped with various chores in the fortress: cooking, washing clothes, sweeping the floor, and even feeding the cows. Since no one in Changhua Fort understands Mei Fuli's language, Mu Min has never been able to communicate with her.
As for the use of Zhen Dui Zhai to travelers in recent years, no one can tell why. Saponaria is certainly a good resource. But there is no urgent need for the crossing group. It is very useful in Changhua Fort. Now I use this thing to bathe and wash clothes every day. I feel that the smell is fresh and pleasant, and the washing is very clean.
Changhua County has now become their only place for recreation. The city is so big. After they entered the city many times, almost everyone in the city knew them, although they were strange to them. I also got acquainted with the government officials who guarded the city gate. It turned out that there was not even a county magistrate in this county, only the county magistrate was in the committee office. As for the thousands of households in this county, they simply lived on the farm outside the city. The front doors of several government offices were all deserted and dilapidated. No wonder they passed by several times without realizing that those small tile-roofed houses were government offices.
Shopkeeper Qian in the Guangzhou warehouse has become their agent in Changhua County. Through shopkeeper Qian's help, the people in Changhua Fort can buy fresh vegetables, chickens, ducks and grain directly from the farms of thousands of adults outside the city. Senhu-sama and his men obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with doing business with this group of unknown people, especially when the goods they brought out were sugar and soju, which were in serious shortage locally. Xiong Buyou bought dozens of sheep from the farm. On the one hand, he ate them himself, and on the other hand, he prepared to send them back to Lingao along with the cattle.
Radio 15 can receive telegrams from the fleet and Lingao Headquarters every day. Occasionally, I would also receive telegrams from Guangzhou Station, and all parties would report to each other that they were safe. According to the telegram, I learned that the expedition fleet has arrived at Yulin Port and is investigating another important target of this expedition: Tiandu Iron Mine.
Yulin Port is the best port in Hainan. Not only that, it is less than 12 kilometers away from the high-grade iron ore fields. In terms of the difficulty of mining, it is far better than Shilu.
If you sail directly from Lingao to Yazhou, it only takes four days by coastal route. It only takes two days for the expedition fleet to depart from Changhua. Because the boat stopped from time to time to go ashore for inspections, which took half a day to a day at a time. On the way, we also visited the Yinggehai Salt Field in Le'an, Yazhou. In later generations, the Yinggehai Salt Field was the largest salt field in Hainan and the largest sea salt field in southern China. Here The seawater concentration reaches Baume degree 3.5, making it one of the saltiest sea areas in the world after the Red Sea. It is called the "Bitter Sea". At this time, there was still a coastal salt marsh area, which was deserted. Mingqiu, who is very familiar with the history of Hainan's development, told everyone that preparations for the Yinggehai Saltworks began in 1955, and the arrival of more than 5600 professional soldiers in 1958 brought it to a stage of great development.
The huge amount of sea salt is undoubtedly the best raw material base for the chemical industry. Starting from Wang Luobin, everyone looked at this deserted beach greedily. Hainan Island is really a treasure island.
The fleet conducted on-site exploration in Yinggehai and then continued out. On the sixth day after departing from Changhua, the lookout post of the Zhenhai saw the ship sailing in a huge bay. The snow-white sand, swaying coconut trees, and blue water on the beach all showed that this place was close to Sanya.
"This is Sanya Bay." Chen Haiyang checked the longitude and latitude of the naval cadets, "We are not far from Yulin."
Sanya Bay looked more beautiful and pristine at this time than in later generations. There are some scattered villages at the foot of the mountain, and there are grid-like salt fields along the coast.
After several more hours of sailing, the lookout at the top of the mast saw the 213-meter-high iconic hill on Luhuitoujiao.
When you arrive at Luhuitoujiao, you will also arrive at Yulingang. Luhuitou Military Port was an important base for the South China Sea Fleet in later generations. Standing on the deck in Mingqiu, he was filled with emotion when he saw the familiar scenery in front of him. I remember the days and nights spent preparing for war here in 1974. He couldn't help but recite the Vietnamese words he learned during the assault:
"Hey! (Stop!), Old Man! (Hand in the gun and don't kill!) (We treat the prisoners preferentially!)
"Mr. Ming," Mond walked over curiously, "What are you talking about?"
"Vietnamese." It's very hot here. The temperature on the deck has already exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, and many people are shirtless or wearing an undershirt. Mingqiu is still wearing an 87-style navy summer dress, without any mess. Standing on the deck puts many nerds who call themselves future admirals across the country to shame.
"In the spring of 1974," Mingqiu said, pointing to Luhuitou in the distance, "our troops were stationed there at that time, participating in pre-war mobilization to prepare for the attack on Yongle Island in Xisha. At that time, the Americans were in Vietnam Unable to fight anymore, we began to withdraw. The white-eyed wolf in North Vietnam was taking the opportunity to go south, and South Vietnam was almost finished. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble after the war, the commander issued an order to recapture Xixisha. I was still a soldier at that time-"
"You also participated in the recovery of Xisha?" Mond was in awe.
"Actually, no." Mingqiu shook his head, "We have been on standby here in Sanya. In the autumn of 1974, our detachment was transferred to Lingshui to participate in the anti-landing 6 exercise. We also made a movie."
Just when Mond wanted to know more about what happened back then, Chen Haiyang had already ordered the sails to be lowered and was preparing to enter Yulingang. He had no choice but to return to his seat quickly.
Yulingang is far better than the Sanya Bay next to it. The water surface of Sanya Bay is too open and the storms are fierce. Therefore, ships going to Southeast Asia are temporarily anchored here and sheltered from the wind all year round. When the fleet sailed past Luhuitoujiao, they saw many ships moored in the bay, some with tall masts. They were obviously merchant ships going to trade in Southeast Asia.
