The waves of the sea are always amazing, one wave after another, endless, accompanied by sea breeze from time to time, which makes people have headaches, and the bright sun hangs in the sky, absorbing the moisture from the body.

Even if he only stood for half an hour, Zhang Kui couldn't bear it anymore. This scorching hot weather can really kill people.

"General——" The guards on the side quickly helped him.

"You are not needed!" Zhang Kui looked at the waves, refused the support of his guards, and said firmly: "Before me, let alone half an hour, even half a day, without panting."

"That's it, who doesn't know that you are famous all over the world, and who doesn't worship you!"

"That's true!" Zhang Kui returned to the shade of the cabin, sighed and said:

"In the past few years, I have become a general, controlled the navy, and traveled all over the world, but I am no longer as powerful as before. My health is not good. I have eaten too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and I dislike salted fish. Man!!"

You can only say this yourself, others cannot interrupt, otherwise you will easily get beaten and resented.

"Find the deputy commander!" Zhang Kui was lying on a chair, looking at the seagulls flying outside the window, feeling a little depressed, and couldn't help but say.

"promise--"

As the commander of the Hailong Army, General Fubo of the imperial court, Fu Hainan appointed by the emperor, and a baron with a household of three hundred, Zhang Kui was truly outstanding.

After getting used to the scenery, the desire for a title became stronger and stronger. The commander in charge of 20,000 navy actually only had one baron and 300 households in the city. It was really too low.

He has several wives and concubines and many children. How can he marry them with such a low title?

His status was inconsistent with his title, which was a knot in his mind.

Soon, Chen He, the captain of the Hailong and the deputy commander of the Hailong Army, came over and saluted: "General, I will see the commander!"

"Deputy commander, where are we now?" Zhang Kui asked directly.

"The fleet has arrived in the waters near Taizhou, and we have not let go of all the fishing boats we encountered along the way." Zhang He said softly.

"With just one more day's work, we can reach Wengshan County, and then we can also supply some supplies for us."

Wengshan County is actually Zhoushan Island in Zhejiang Province. At that time, there was Wengshan Mountain on the island, so it was established as Wengshan County in the 26th year of Kaiyuan. It had been called Yongdong District before.

Yuan Chao led the rebel army to occupy Wengshan, so Wengshan County was abolished. It was not until the Five Dynasties that in the third year of Kaiping in the Houliang Dynasty of Wuyue (909), Mingzhou was promoted to Wanghaijun, and Luan County was changed to Yinxian. The original Wengshan area was separated and merged into Wengshan County.

, subordinate to Wang Haijun.

Later, Wang Haijun changed its name to Fengguo Army.

Therefore, Wengshan County at this time, also known as Zhoushan Islands, was affiliated with Mingzhou, which was Ningbo.

"Wengshan Island? Yes, brothers can finally rest for a while."

Zhang Kui said carelessly that he had heard about the huge Wengshan Island before, but due to the situation, he had never been there. It was normal for the current situation to open up territory for the court even if it was occupied.

, is also good.

"This Wengshan Island belongs to the Tang Dynasty from today on. If we go up the Yangtze River, we will have a good land."

"But, Commander, will Wu Yue blame us for occupying Wengshan Island? Besides, I'm afraid that we might alert the enemy!"

"You are thinking too much. The Wuyue Kingdom has always regarded itself as a bastard of the Central Plains and used it to hold Jiangnan hostage. Now it has a deep hatred against Jiangnan. How could it be reported to it?"

Zhang Kui said nonchalantly: "Even if they tipped us off, as long as we have hundreds of ships that are not blind and can see, is there any need to tip them off? If we have strong soldiers and horses, we should just capture them directly."

After hearing these words, the deputy commander was speechless. He seemed to be impressed. There was no way to keep such a big ship a secret. Even if all the fishing boats along the way were captured, it would only be a delay.

Soon, this unscrupulous fleet captured Wengshan County, all the government officials, and hundreds of households.

Soon, the news that a group of powerful and arrogant pirates had captured Wengshan County reached Mingzhou.

At this time, the governor of Mingzhou and the military governor of the country was Qian Hongyi, the tenth son of Qian Yuanguan, the king of Wuyue. Qian Yuanguan dreamed that a monk entered his account, so Qian Hongyi's nickname was monk.

Prime Minister of Wuyue Period.

Jia Tao conspired to rebel and implicated Qian Hongyi. He became the governor of Mingzhou, served as an envoy to the national army, and governed the area well.

The more famous thing is to dissuade the loyal king Qian Hongzuo from casting iron coins, and said that bad coins drive out good coins: "Now that new coins (iron coins) are used, old coins (copper coins) are flowing into neighboring countries.

If it can be used in our country but not in other countries, then merchants will not be able to do it and department stores will not be able to use it."

To generalize, the Wuyue Kingdom was a country that occupied Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu. The founding monarch was Qian Liu, the person who wrote the sentence "The flowers bloom on the road, and you can slowly return home."

The Wuyue Kingdom, which was incompatible with the Five Dynasties, had a humble clan, high cultural quality, no internal fighting, and good governance. Moreover, it was obedient to the Central Plains and surrendered as soon as it accepted the land.

Because of his good reputation, he was deeply loved by the people and the Zhao family, so the surname ranked second among the hundred families. Zhao Qian, Sun Li Qian, and many descendants, such as Qian Qichen, Qian Zhengying, Qian Xuesen, and Qian Weichang

, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Zhongshu, Qian Fu and Qian Mu are all his descendants.

The family tradition is so good that it is worthy of envy.

Why do descendants of the Qian family endure so long? According to historical records, Qian Liu, the founder of the Wuyue Kingdom, once had a family motto and left it to his descendants before his death: "Be loyal and filial, love the soldiers and the people, be diligent and thrifty, and pass on loyalty to the family."

" and ten wills, these family mottos and wills have been passed down from generation to generation, inspiring Qian's descendants.

Too far away...

Although Qian Hongyi once served as prime minister, he is only thirty-three years old now, but he is upright and treats the people well. In the three years since he has been in power, he has achieved great governance in Mingzhou, is good at economics, and knows the benefits of merchants.

On this day, while he was handling government affairs at the Yamen, he suddenly heard a report:

"A group of pirates attacked Wengshan Island and occupied the Yamen."

"Well? There are always few bandits in Mingzhou. How could they capture Wengshan Island? There are few ships in the north, so they must come from the south!"

Hearing this, Qian Hongyi was not panicked at all. He put down his pen, thought for a moment, said directly, and then asked:

"How many people are there in this gang of thieves? Do they have a banner?"

"I have never seen a flag, but I heard from people that the ship covered the sky and the sun, and could not be seen at a glance. He does not look like an ordinary thief."

"I heard that Lingnan organized a large naval force and eliminated many water thieves. So, they will definitely not let go of such a large scale of thieves. Therefore, this group of thieves must be the navy from Lingnan."

As Qian Hongyi spoke, he began to ponder: "How could Lingnan, which had no grudges against our Wuyue Kingdom in the past and has no grudges in recent times, capture a mere Wengshan Island? What's the use of a few hundred households?"
