On the first day of the boat, the fleet had not yet left the estuary of the Pearl River. After crossing the Lingding Ocean, it stayed on the southwest bank of Jiuxing Ocean. Chenxi was quite familiar with the surrounding terrain... This is where Zhuhai Port in later generations is located, only a few steps away from Macau.

In this life, the Folang Jiren did not occupy the entrenchment in Macau. Because Chen Xi defeated the Folang Jiren in Quanzhou in a battle of Shitong Port, Quanzhou. The Folang Jiren set up his base camp to Luzon, and at the same time, he looked for a place to settle in the Dongfan, which is later in Tai Island, and did not dare to set up a stronghold on the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

However, due to the Ming Dynasty's forbidden seas, the islands and land along the Jiuxingyang coast were very deserted. Even if the ship only had excellent natural bays, it was surrounded by barren mountains and ridges.

There were no roads along the coast. Chen Xi originally planned to send the girl back to Guangzhou Prefecture City. Now it seems that she can only send a boat. Later, after asking the guide, she knew that one day the voyage would arrive at Guanghaiwei. The fleet would provide supplies in Guanghaiwei. At that time, some seriously seasick wounded people could be sent ashore with the girl and return to Guangzhou Prefecture by land.

It was the Little Ice Age, and in late autumn, the Nine Star Ocean Generation in Lingnan had a temperature of only fifteen or sixteen degrees during the day, and at night it was even lower. Soldiers camped on the shore to create fires, and bonfires spread far and wide.

"If we can roast three or five sheep on the bonfire and share food for the brothers, that would be a pleasure."

Chen Xi sat behind a large reef sheltered from the wind and recalled the past when he was in Yulin Wei. Although he almost lost his life outside Yulin City and the Yuxi River battles after that, the scene of making fires and roasting lamb legs in the bitter and cold place drinking strong wine to celebrate the achievements is something he will never forget.

Ma Jiu came to sit opposite Chenxi, holding a bowl of hot soup cooked with sea fish and kelp in his hand, and ate it with the cake without saying a word. Jing Yue delivered a tuna that had just been roasted two pounds to Chenxi's hand and responded: "If you want to eat roasted lamb, ask your brothers to go out for a walk and keep it within an hour!"

Chen Xi thought to himself that Jing Yue and other people were all local soldiers from Guangzhou Prefecture. They would patrol the beach every year and be familiar with the surrounding terrain. If they were allowed to go out for an hour, they would definitely be robbing the cattle and sheep raised by the people. He was unwilling to do such troubles, so he waved his hand:

"I just said casually that when I return from victory, I will buy lamb from the people and roast lamb on the bonfire. I will stop drunk!"

Jing Yue smiled and said, "My lord is so greedy that he is greedy for me. It will take about ten days and half a month to go to Leizhou Prefecture. If we add the time to destroy the bandits, I wonder if we can come back before the end of the year!"

Jing Yue just complained a few times before leaving, and continued to talk to the big-headed soldiers.

Chen Xi could not integrate into it because these people were talking about family matters or romantic things, but their romantic things seemed simple and rough, just because of which private prostitute in the city had a big butt, or whose widow had a springy look. Every time they said it, it would make a group of people laugh.

These soldiers are proud of having many broken shoes worn by them, but they look at their wives very tightly, but occasionally they will praise them like "sister-in-law's big butt"... In the eyes of those soldiers, they will not mind too much about their wives, but they can see and think about it but not touch it. If something really happens, they will draw their swords at any time.

Ma Jiu was taciturn, drank too hot soup, and invited people to return to the boat to watch. He was not very relieved of the Fran cannon on the boat.

Chen Xi chose to stay on the shore, chose a tent, and prepared to go to bed after he had enough food and drink. He didn't want to stay on the boat and suffer.

The girl was a little confused and helpless. She sat outside the tent that Shen Xi chose for a while. Because the weather was a little cold, she finally sneaked into Chen Xi's tent. Chen Xi did not scold her when she saw it, but she did not return to the tent afterwards. Anyway, there were a few big tents around, and no one dared to snatch a place to sleep with him.

In the middle of the night, there was a noise outside. Chen Xi woke up from his sleep. He was worried that the thieves would attack the camp, so he quickly dressed in order. After asking, he found out that he had caught a few people who came out to smuggle goods and run the boat. At this time, he was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and several people kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.

Jing Yue came over and said, "Mr. Shen, how about you arrest a few people who took the bandits and vent their heads?"

A few ordinary people didn't even have weapons and could not survive and came out to smuggle business. Strictly speaking, it was not smuggling, but just transporting goods by water. The shipping of the Ming Dynasty was not something that ordinary people could do. If they were caught, they would either be beaten or exiled. Of course, if they were caught by officers and soldiers, they might be beheaded and rewarded.

Chen Xi looked at Jing Yue: "How do you report military merits on weekdays?"

Jing Yue said dismissively: "Who told these bastards to meet you, sir? If we return empty-handed this time, it is difficult to explain to the superiors. It just so happened that these people are not good people. Instead of taking them back and handing them over to the government to send them to the government to serve as a military force, it is better to cut off your heads directly, and to break them up and fulfill your brothers. What do you think?"

Chen Xi would definitely not accept this kind of thing. He waved his hand: "Since he will not die, let him make meritorious service and follow the army to be a servant! If he can atone for his merits and return to Guangzhou Prefecture, he will release the people."

Jing Yue reminded: "Sir, do whatever you say, but I still want to remind you that these bastards may be really spies of bandits, and they usually carry wine and cloth for those bandits."

Four years ago, when Chen Xi fought with Song Xier's forces in Fuzhou Prefecture, he knew that not all Japanese pirates could be obtained by robbing them. It was relatively easy for them to grab grain and production tools. By bringing hoes and iron plows back, they could smel and forge them into weapons. However, pirates and Japanese pirates could basically not produce cloth, wine and some luxury goods by themselves, and the population was difficult to replenish, so they needed to send people to the coastal areas to exchange and trade goods.

Chen Xi nodded: "Be careful."

Chen Xi really hopes that the people who are caught are pirates or Japanese pirates, so he can use these people to post fake news to Japanese pirates or pirates, or through torture and tracking, he can know the hiding place of pirates and Japanese pirates.

Pirates and Japanese pirates generally choose islands relatively far from the shore to set up camps, and they will not build camps near the coast of Daming. In this way, even if there are officers and soldiers or official fleets passing by on land, or merchant ships docking, they will not notice anything abnormal on the island.

Bandits generally do not commit crimes around their strongholds, mainly because they are afraid that fish that escape from the net will escape and expose their thief's nest. When pirates and Japanese pirates rob, they usually drive a ship to a near route away from the stronghold. After robbing the ship, they transport all the people and goods back to the thief's nest. The task is completed by one ticket.

In the coastal areas, such innocence-free transactions are easy to do. If you wait for a few days at sea, there will always be ships. Moreover, the government’s protection for merchant ships is very small. Even if you are encountered by the government ships, they are all sailboats. The pirate ships are relatively small and run faster under the push of sails.

If a merchant ship encounters a pirate ship, it depends on who runs faster.

...

...

The next day, the fleet continued to set off, and after passing the Cross Gate, it was Langbaiwaiyang, and in the evening, it settled on the west bank of Huge Gate.

On the second day of the boat, Chenxi couldn't bear it anymore and drifted on the sea continuously. It was also a wooden boat with a lighter hull. The sky was breeze and the boat was bumpy. Originally, he said he would go to Guanghaiwei before he could settle down. Finally, Chenxi ordered to stay in the shore in advance and wait for the next day to pass the Hubei Gate.

Huge Gate is the later Huge Gate. It is located in the north of Huge Gate Gate, one of the sea estuaries of the Pearl River. Yashan stood, which witnessed the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the south is a series of small islands, which was called Deer Neck High Lan in the Ming Dynasty, which is the Gaolan Islands in later generations.

After getting ashore, Chen Xi felt a sensation in his stomach. He drank some hot soup made from abalone, ate some hot rice balls made from the boat, and went into the tent to rest early.

The panic-hearted girl got into his tent after Shen Xi fell asleep and squeezed into his arms.

The girl knew in her heart that only by following Shen Xi, the "big figure", could she have a good life. It's not that she has some utilitarian intentions, but that people of this era have a strong sense of survival, and simply want to eat a full meal and not die of cold and starvation.

As for fame and fortune, only those who have no worries about food and clothing will think about it. Even the rising sun may not be seen in the future. It would be useless to have so much reserve.

Chen Xi said angrily after being woken up: "There is an empty tent next door. I specially asked someone to set it up for you. Go to sleep there, don't disturb me!"

The girl was a little scared and went to the tent next door. When she was in the middle of the night, she came back again. This time, Chen Xi didn't even have the strength to push her away, so the two hugged each other and slept all night.

A twelve-year-old girl doesn't know much about men and women. She only knows that it will be warm and comfortable to sleep with hugs like this, and more importantly, she has a sense of security.

The next morning, Ma Jiu came to the tent and asked Chen Xi to get up. He saw a handsome little guard coming out of Chen Xi's tent with a strange look on his face.

Chen Xi stood by the tent to tidy up his clothes, and shouted in anger: "What are you looking at? Don't think about it!"

"Yes, sir."

Ma Jiu responded, but his eyes looked at Chen Xi a little more afraid. Obviously, he regarded the girl as a teenager and believed that Chen Xi had a habit of dragon yang.

After getting on the boat, the girl and Chen Xi were in the same cabin. Chen Xi then asked, "I didn't ask you before, what's your name?"

The girl looked at Chen Xi innocently. Chen Xi curled her lips and thought to herself, "Is it a reminder to me that you are a heartless person who slept together last night and only remember to ask me your name today?"

The girl replied timidly after a while: "I... don't have a name, my mother calls me Liu Ya."

Chen Xi nodded. Many girls in other families had no names. They lined up from Da Ya to Liu Ya, and she had a sister. By the way, this mother is quite capable of giving birth. Why did my mother give birth to only three? From then on, there was no news in her belly? Could it be that my father didn't work hard and couldn't give birth to a few younger brothers and sisters for me?

Chen Xi was wandering outside the sky. Liu Ya mustered up the courage to come to Chen Xi, knelt down and hugged his legs, and was unwilling to let go if she died.

Chen Xi said angrily: "It's useless to hold it. After passing the Huge Gate and bypassing Dajin Island, we will arrive at Guanghaiwei this afternoon. After docking, I will send someone to take you back to Guangzhou Prefecture."

Liu Ya didn't say anything, just hugged her. Chen Xi sat at the desk, and the left and right sides would not affect his writing, so she would let her go.

After two days of sailing, Chen Xi was in poor condition. After writing for two hours, he felt very distressed. He leaned over and pushed Liu Ya away who had fallen asleep, and went to the bed to lie down. After a while, he fell asleep. In a daze, he felt something was urging in his arms.

In the afternoon, the sun came out and the sea surface calmed a little. Chen Xi left the room and went down the stairs to the deck of the door to bask in the sun. At this time, Ma Jiu leaned over in a boat and was pulled onto the deck.

Ma Jiu reported: "Sir, I heard that there is a group of bandits on Wuzhu Mountain, who have been entrenched for more than a year. Will they attack?"

Chen Xi took out the navigation chart and compared it.

Wuzhu Mountain is not a mountain, but an island, it is the Wuzhuzhou Island in later generations. It is an inconspicuous island under Shangchuan Mountain, that is, Shangchuan Island in later generations.

Nowadays, due to the ban on the sea, even Shangchuan Island only has merchant ships to dock, not to mention a small island like Wuzhu Mountain, where there are actually a group of bandits entrenched on it, and I guess there will not be too many people.

If you want to kill Wuzhu Mountain, you will not be able to go to Guanghaiwei to rest on that day.

After Chen Xi planned and ordered: "Stay in Shangchuan Mountain first, and attack Wuzhu Mountain tomorrow morning!" (To be continued.)
