Dagou Town has suffered a lot from depression in recent years.
In the years when Qingyuan in the Central Plains was prosperous, cargo ships traveling long distances across the ocean, whether traveling south or north, needed a place to serve as a supply station. The strategically located Dagou Town naturally became a stopover for merchants from all walks of life. point!
There is no official government here in Dagou Town, and the price of various goods supplies is much lower than that of various ports in the Central Plains. There is no need to pay high taxes here, and the extra money is naturally yours. How could a businessman not like it!
Taking advantage of the east wind of the Song Dynasty, the development of Dagou Town in the past few years can be said to far exceed the development of the previous hundreds of years.
At that time, Dagou Town was known as the Little Qingyuan of the East.
However, the glorious days did not last long. When the Japanese came, everything changed!
When the Japanese come, they just kill, loot, and do nothing else. They don't know how to do business. If they want something, they can just grab it. It's so convenient, it comes quickly, and there is no cost at all. This is business!
However, the Japanese did not make trouble for long. Killing chickens to obtain eggs has not been a long-term solution since ancient times. In addition, Yizhou is not a place rich in products. It relies on trade brought by merchants. The Japanese cannot trade and can only rob. , so scared that the merchants who used to transit in Yizhou never dared to come again.
When you come here, you have to leave your life or your money behind. Who would come to this stupid place?
Although the taxes collected in the Song Dynasty are high, people are reasonable. Paying a little money can ensure safety. Who is not willing to obediently go to the sea?
But things have changed again.
The maritime trade policy of the Song Dynasty was reduced across the board, and no ships were allowed to enter the sea. Merchants at sea did not even have the opportunity to buy or sell, let alone the need for supplies.
Now, the sea in Dagou Town has become even more deserted. In the past few months, not a single boat has been seen, and not even half a plank has been docked to find a dock. It turns out that the income that supports Dagou Town is not the taxes of the locals. and grain, but these passing fat sheep.
Dagou Town, which had no income, was in a worse state than Xinghua back then.
Yamamoto Kameda was extravagant and lustful, and the Han family on the island was hunted down and oppressed by him. The population decreased rapidly, which made Yizhou's income much less. In the past few years, it was even less able to support his needs!
But fortunately, after the defeat in Penghu these years, Liangchuan has nothing to do. They have been guarding Yizhou and have not launched a large-scale war. As long as there is no war, the losses will not be too serious, and they can barely survive this day!
Over the years, Penghu across the street has always been a major concern for Yamamoto. He has sent his men down many times to find trouble in Penghu, but without exception, he did not take advantage of it even once. On the contrary, Xia Dehai was killed so much that he did not even dare to leave the sea!
However, after several years, Penghu did not move at all. If his men had not taken the initiative to attack and injured the Japanese under Liang Chuan a few months ago, he would have thought that there was no one on Penghu Island!
Liang Chuan also had Japanese people under his command, which quite surprised Yamamoto. However, Yamamoto also knew the virtues of those Japanese people in Penghu, so they were nothing to be afraid of!
This typhoon was really violent, and the island was severely damaged!
He personally took people out to look around, but every house was blown away by the wind. Now there is no intact house in Dagou Town. All the islanders on the island lost their homes overnight. The typhoon The heavy rain caused all their belongings to disappear!
Since last night, his subordinates have been coming to report how much has been lost everywhere, but does Yamamoto want to hear these cries? No, his ears can only hear good words and good news. He hates these cries, isn't it? It blew down a few houses, so there’s nothing to worry about!
Besides, just cover a few houses with some weeds. Those people have no place to live. They just have to endure it and it will be dawn. What do they have to worry about!
There was a typhoon blowing outside, and Yamamoto hid in his palace, getting drunk on wine and beauties, without caring about the lives of people outside.
As long as Yamamoto starts drinking, none of his men will dare to report his funeral to him. If it defeats his purpose, he will not care who comes, he will just draw his sword and kill many of his own people!
If the leader doesn't care, the people below will naturally care less!
They have been in Yizhou for several years and have seen many typhoons. Every time a typhoon comes, it will cause very serious damage!
Ordinary people don't have that much money and energy to build new houses every year, so the houses on the island are like pigsties. As long as they can still be lived in, no matter how dilapidated they are, they can make do with it, because there is no winter here, no matter how cold the north wind is. We can make do with the weather. Compared with the sea breeze on the sea, it is much warmer here. Anyway, summer will come soon. Once summer arrives, life will be much easier!
Every year is a choice between making do and living with it. If you can get through it, get through it. If you can't, that's it anyway!
But no one expected that today would be so tragic. This time the typhoon swept away everyone's houses, leaving them with nothing, and it became difficult to survive! Not only the local Han people, but also the Japanese people suffered a great disaster. Their living standard was only one point better than that of the Han people. They were also brothers in the same boat. There was no need for anyone to laugh at the same time.
The current islanders are almost homeless, have no food to eat, are wet, and are struggling in the wind and rain!
When the typhoon broke out, the residents of Dagou Town had no food, no water, and no shelter. They had only empty eyes, staring blankly at everything in front of them, not knowing where to start from scratch. .
They were already poor, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to keep them fed. They were also faced with great disasters, which made it even worse.
The entire island is ruined.
The Japanese on the island are all busy repairing their houses and camps. If they don't repair it, the rainy season will come in a few days, and they won't even have a dry place to live!
On the west side of Dagou Town is the beach. There are several sea boats leaning on the shore in twos and threes. They were also seriously damaged in the typhoon. Several cabins were flooded. If they are not repaired, it may become a problem even going out to sea!
Not a single merchant ship could be seen on the pier. There was no business in the first place, and no one came here to replenish or replace goods. Naturally, there were no ships from other places. Merchant ships are not stupid either. A typhoon is coming, and anyone who stays at sea waiting for death will have disappeared long ago.
Japanese people are also very afraid of typhoons in island countries. Although the power of typhoons is usually much reduced when they reach Japanese countries, they have been at sea all year round and know the destructive power of typhoons. When the wind blows, they will get off the boat long ago and take refuge on the shore.
The entire beach was empty.
On normal days, there wouldn't be many people there, just as deserted and empty!
There is only one Japanese guarding the beach several hundred meters away. That's enough. Who will come during this time of disaster, unless it's the Dragon King in the sea?
The Japanese was a little tired. The wind was so strong last night that the top of his home was blown up and he was almost killed in his home. At dawn, he didn't even have time to clean up the house, so he changed his post and came to the beach to watch. Damn it. The rain was still falling, and when he went back, he didn't know how bad it was going to be!
The Japanese who guarded the beach brought all the food they could eat at home. They wore a coir raincoat, which could barely block the rain.
In the second half of the night, the Japanese man was a little tired. After sleeping all night, the rain soaked his body, which aroused his desire to urinate. He pulled off his raincoat and went to the beach to relieve himself!
Suddenly, he seemed to see a lot of firelight on the sea. The Japanese thought he had seen it wrong. The rain made his vision a little confusing!
The Japanese took out his tools, looked at the scene in front of him, and let the water flow. For a moment, he forgot what he was going to do next!
this. . Is this an enemy ship?
The typhoon has not completely passed yet, so why are there so many sea ships appearing out of nowhere!
Then came a scene that made him even more unbelievable. Countless boats suddenly appeared on the sea, dozens in number. The people on the boats rowed hard and shouted slogans. Although the boats Small, but rushing to the shore at extremely fast speed!
How can this be!
The Japanese wanted to run back, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they were so frightened that their calves began to tremble and they remained motionless. They even forgot to put away the tools for discharging water!
'have. . There are enemies. . There are enemies! '
His duty was to run to the beacon tower on the shore and light up the smoke when the enemy attacked. This ancient signaling method is still very effective, especially in rainy and windy places like the seaside, where the smoke can still reach into the sky. .
Fear finally defeated his brain. The Japanese suppressed the fear in his heart, took steps, and rushed back!
The Japanese threw the torch into the beacon tower on the coast. The fire had just been lit, and it was drenched with kerosene. It just burst into flames. They heard a cannon shot from the opposite sea, and a cannon shell cut through the night, regardless of the rain. , with a bang, the fire-marked object on the shore was directly blown into a pile of waste. .
The unlucky Japanese were bombed to death!
The battle finally begins!
The sound of artillery pierced the entire night sky!
The Japanese in Dagou Town came to their senses, the enemy is coming!
There is only one person on the entire sea who has such a terrifying weapon, and that is Liang Chuan on the other side!
Why are you calling now? Is there really nothing going on at home?
Yamamoto, who was drunk and dreaming, was also awakened by the sound of artillery. There was not only one artillery fire outside, but dozens of boats in Liangchuan, filled with artillery. They fired a salvo and the ground shook!
'Quick, quick, send me troops to the beach. Don't let Liangchuan's people come ashore! '
Yamamoto Kameda broke out in a cold sweat. No matter how hard he calculated, he never would have guessed that Liang Chuan would hit him after the typhoon!
The island finally started to move. The Japanese picked up their weapons, put on their armor, and followed Yamamoto's orders, rushing towards the coast in an attempt to trap Liang Chuan on the beach and prevent him from landing!
Liang Chuan stood on the opposite boat, watching all this with a telescope, and a smile appeared on his lips!
