In the northeast of Fengcheng, Xiao Xu stood at the top of the city and looked at Baimao Bay in the northeast. There were a large number of warships berthed there, and there were camps on the shore, which was the garrison of the navy.

Here, I couldn't see the masts like forests and the sails like clouds, but Xiao Feng still felt excited and wanted to set sail immediately and fight towards Jiankang with his troops.

But this is impossible, at least not yet, so we can only gain a foothold in Jiangzhou first.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xu's somewhat depressed mood quickly replied a little.

Just a few days ago, He Ruodun took Nanchang, and the situation in Jiangzhou opened up. The powerful people from all over the country would respond to his recruitment, bring their troops and children to raise up, drive away county officials, and come to Nanchang.

By then, at least tens of thousands of people, or more than one hundred thousand people, can be gathered, and with these mobs to help, Poyang can be taken down.

Then, take Xunyang down.

In this way, Xunyang, Fengcheng, Nanchang, and Poyang were in his hands, and the Yangtze River Channel and Pengli Lake District were under his control. They mobilized fishermen along the lake and formed naval troops, which was enough to fight against the downstream boat troops.

Xiao Xu felt that he had grown strong in Jiangzhou, but the court had no choice but to do anything. In this way, there would definitely be people in the downstream areas.

He felt that when Hou Jing was in a rebellion, he could gather more than 100,000 troops in rebellion. As the son of the Prince Zhaoming, his reputation in Jiangnan was far above Hou Jing. Are you still afraid that no one would support him?

The wind was strong by the river, and the left and right advised Xiao Xu to return to the city. Xiao Xu didn't want to go back so quickly, and wanted to see more of the grand occasion of the navy under his command.

Yesterday, Xiao Xu received a handwritten letter from his sixth uncle and Shaoling King Xiao Lun. He learned that the Wei State had sent troops to Sichuan. He thought that in the near future, the eighth uncle, Wuling King Xiao Ji, would have to return to Chengdu. In this way, Jiangling would be safe.

So, next he only needs to stabilize in Jiangzhou, and his sixth uncle can calmly use troops to Xiangzhou, destroy Xiao Daqian's troops, and occupy the middle reaches.

By then, even if they cannot invade Jiankang, they will still be able to accommodate Jing, Xiang, Ying and Jiang.

As for Xiangyang...

It has already been to Wei State, and I am afraid it will never come back.

Xiao Xun's family, along with the families of Yongzhou soldiers, had already lived in Jiangling, so although he was sad now, Xiao Xun still avoided thinking about the consequences of Xiangyang's change of ownership.

His vision returned to Baimao Bay. Xiao Xu knew that the naval army in his hands was very important, so he did not easily send it to attack Poyang, but instead guarded the Yangtze River channel and guarded the entrance of Pengli Lake.

The Yongzhou Navy, which attacked, absorbed the Yingzhou Navy (partial) and Jiangzhou Navy (partial) warships and soldiers, so it was huge in scale.

Because the families of the navy soldiers in the two states had been taken hostage, they were not afraid of these people turning against each other.

As long as he guards Hukou, even if the Poyang inner historian Li Li could gather more warships, he would not be able to easily break through Hukou and enter the Yangtze River.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xun felt better. The only thing he could fight in Jiangzhou was Li Li. As for the governor of Jiangzhou and the king of Xunyang, Xiao Daxin, who has been huddled in Xunyang City so far, he dared not come out.

Such a life is definitely not easy. At the beginning, Xiao Feng was forced by the seventh uncle, King Xiangdong, and just hiding in Xiangyang City, and he was quite touched by this.

It doesn’t matter. After a while, you will break the Xunyang and you will not need to worry.

Xiao Xu thought so that he looked at Baimao Bay from the city today because he did not leave the city for safety reasons, so he was guarding against an ambush halfway.

After all, his brother, King Xiao Yu, was sneak attacked by Li Li's people before. Now he is in Jiangzhou, he has to be careful.

Seeing that it was almost noon and the sun was getting stronger, Xiao Xu was about to return to his mansion, but he heard the noise in the north of the city. Looking in the sound, he found that it seemed that it was a movement in the direction of the pier.

The north of Fengcheng is adjacent to the Yangtze River and the wharf is in the north of the city. After Xiao Wei arrived at Fengcheng, he requisitioned most of the civilian ships, gathered in Baimao Bay, and organized into the navy. The once prosperous and noisy wharf has become deserted.

A general came hurriedly and reported a major event to Xiao Xu: Today, the fishermen in Fengcheng gathered to cause trouble and asked to send the ship back so that they could fish and support their families.

"Now that business travelers are cut off, who can they sell fishing?"

Xiao asked, and the general replied: "It is not just fishing, it is said that the Yangtze River fry is approaching, and fishermen want to go out to catch fry."

"Catch fish fry? Do you raise fish fry by yourself?" Xiao Xu didn't know how to raise fish, and he didn't need to know, but he knew that there was a buy to buy it and could sell it.

"Someone has to sell fish fry fish. Now that the business travelers on the river have disappeared, even if they catch fish fry, they can't sell them. Knowing that this is the case, they still have to make trouble. What do they want to do?"

Xiao Xu said, a little unhappy, and the general quickly said, "The last general was persuaded and tried his best to persuade him, but the fishermen and boat people gathered more and more..."

"Then let's arrest a few of the leaders, and I will teach you how to teach you?"

Xiao Feng shouted loudly, and the general looked embarrassed: "King, there are too many people."

"Too many? Could it be that they were being instigated to make trouble and had bad intentions?" Xiao Xu became increasingly impatient. "I have ordered people to give food regularly to fill them up. What else do I want?"

"If they are separated, if they are not separated, kill them! If they are not separated, kill them. If they are gone, they will not have to eat!"

"King!" the general persuaded, "There are really many people gathered, more than our soldiers. If you really want to use a knife, then... something big will happen."

Seeing that Xiao Xun's expression was not like he was ruling, he frowned: "What, what do they want?"

"There are a few of them who take the lead and want to meet the king and express their feelings to the king."

"Want to see me, Chan Qing?" Xiao Xu thought about it and sneered: "Okay, OK!"

"Take them to the public office, I will ask questions in person!"

......

The county party committee listened to the news, Xiao Xu sat in the upper head, with several armies standing on the stairs, and some officials stood on both sides, listening to the three men at the stairs and expressing their feelings to Xiao Xu.

To prevent accidents, these three men were carefully searched by the guards, and there was no item that could be used as a weapon, even if there was no hairpin.

Now, Xiao Xun wants to hear how these fishermen who are leading the trouble will express their feelings to him.

Among them, a young man, in his early twenties, was as dark as other fishermen, but had a burly figure and a pair of squinting eyes, which gave people a very cunning feeling.

Now, it was this young man who confessed to Xiao Feng. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the steps, and said slowly:

"King, the Yangtze River Ferry Ferry Flood Season is about to begin. This flood season only occurs in summer in a year, with the beginning of summer solstice, and the summer solstice, three times."

"The beginning of summer is the first flood, the small man is the main flood, and the grassland is the third flood."

"If you miss it, the young people will have no income and cannot pay back their debts. They have to sell themselves to pay off their debts, and they also have to fish on weekdays..."

Xiao Xu asked: "Who can you sell fishing and fishing fry to? Now that you are fighting, no foreign merchants will come to Fengcheng."

This young man can speak Jiankang accent, so it is much more convenient to talk. However, it is not surprising that the locals can speak Jiankang dialect in the important part of the Yangtze River.

The young man replied: "The young people want to ask several ship owners to transport the fish and fry they caught to the downstream coast for sale. They recognize many buyers, sold the fish and fry, and then brought back the income."

This method is good, but it will give the court an opportunity to take advantage of it. Xiao Xu asked casually: "Is that right? How many boats do you have to use to catch fish and fishing fry?"

"Everyone and young are on board, and there are no less than two or three thousand ships."

"Two or three thousand ships?" Xiao Xu smiled, "This is not possible. In this way, Jiang Fang is as if he is not on guard."

"Then, the young people have no choice..." The young man raised his head and looked at Xiao Feng: "The king raised an army, it turned out that it was not for the people?"

As soon as this said, the official who was silently listening looked at the young man in surprise, then looked at Xiao Xun, and Xiao Xun's eyelids twitched and he stared at the man.

After a moment, he smiled: "Why, I have to explain in detail to you and others?"

"No, what the king wants to do is the king's business. For the common people, no matter what happens, they will have their days left, and it doesn't matter."

The young man said slowly, as if he didn't see the soldiers on both sides of the steps glaring at him.

"Everyone just wants to survive. Please let the king go out to catch fish."

"Oh, may I not let the boat enter the river, and you will cause trouble?" Xiao Xu smiled, and the young man shook his head: "No, everyone just wants to go fishing, fishing fry, and sell it to pay off his debts."

"No." Xiao said firmly, looking at the young man with a look of contempt: "Wait, what else should I say?"

"By the king, I have nothing to say."

The young man replied, looking calm, and his two companions kept saying nothing from beginning to end.

"Then you go back and let them disperse, otherwise, don't blame me."

Seeing that the other party did not start a sudden attack, Xiao Feng's heart was full of expectations and instantly dissipated: he thought you were an assassin.

Or, don't have the courage to take action?

Since only three fishermen came to express their feelings and it didn't look abnormal, Xiao Xu thought the other party was really a fisherman, but of course he would not agree to his request.

Xiao Feng waved his hand, and an official took the three of them out.

The officials dispersed, Xiao Xu walked to the back hall, and an assistant officer approached, saying worriedly: "King, there are many boatmen and fishermen in Fengcheng. They make a living by fishing and sailing on boats. Now they cannot survive, I am afraid..."

"I'm afraid what? I've already distributed food rations, what else do they want? I'll be more frustrated! If they dare to gather together to cause trouble, just kill them!"

The assistant officer knew that the so-called opening of warehouses and releasing grains and distributing food to the people was not very good. Many families could not get food at all and could not go out to fish on the boat, so they really couldn't continue.

Why is this happening? Because the generals of all departments are staring at the grain in the granary of the city and want to ensure that their soldiers are full, there is not much food that can be taken out and distributed to the people at all.

Because there are too many involvements, the assistant officer is not able to make it clear, and is worried that it will cause civil unrest, so he advised:

"The king, the people in the city really seem to be unable to continue. As the saying goes, 'If the people are always afraid of death, how can they be afraid of it by killing it'..."

"The people are not afraid of death?" Xiao Xu smiled, "I am not afraid of death either!"

After all the words were said, the assistant officer shut up.

In fact, Xiao Xu performed much better than many clans. He lived a frugal life on weekdays, did not be close to women, nor did he drink alcohol. When he was a local official, he could be called "love the people as much as his son".

Although he is not particular about the details, he does not act madly or contradictory. He also raises the scholars with his integrity, and has won many disciples and tries his life.

However, since the death of the late emperor, Xiao Xun was thinking about the "big plan" and became a little paranoid. This time, he attacked with all his strength, like a gambler who was desperate and betting on red eyes.

All I think about is to conquer cities and territories, and other advices are hard to hear.

Seeing Xiao Xu turn to the back hall and prepare for a rest, the assistant officer takes a leave. At this moment, he suddenly hears a tide of shouting from the north of the city.

The noise was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that countless people were shouting loudly.

It seems that it was the fishermen who gathered to cause trouble. When they learned that the government did not allow them to go out to fish or fish fry, they started to cause trouble again.

A crisp "pop" sounded from the hall, and it sounded like a cup was smashed. Then, Xiao Xu came out angrily and shouted at the assistant:

"Give the shameless unruly people, send troops here immediately!"

"Kill those who are disobedient and kill until they are honest!"
