- While talking, Dongting Xishan arrived.
? Continuous mountains protrude from the lake, and you can't see the south from the north.
Xishan is the largest island on Taihu Lake and the largest island in the lake in the Ming Dynasty. It is as big as five Suzhou cities!
On the boat, Jiang Xueying introduced all the treasures to Zhao Hao:
"Dongting Xishan is known as 'two rivers, three cuts, six junctures, seven villages, eight lanes, nine miles and thirteen bays'. This means that the two rivers Jinduo River and Zhengjing Port divide Xishan Island into three non-connected parts. Xuan Yangdong is not connected to the edge of the river, Duzhu is not connected to the back port, Qi Village is not connected to the head of the stone road, and Kejialing is not connected to Luwan."
"Six Jue means that there are six other places that are impassable and need to be ferried. They are Lucun, Duzhu, Qicun, Shigong Mountain, Jushan, and Fengwang Mountain."
"There is no need to go into details about the seven villages, eight lanes, nine miles and thirteen bays. There were originally seven villages on the island, with nearly a thousand households. However, there was a Japanese invasion in the past few years. The Japanese pirates entered Taihu Lake along the Wusong River and killed and looted on Xishan Island. Several times. The surviving people have all fled Xishan, and the population has not yet returned."
"Yes, the water bandits have set up camp here, how can the people live?" Zhao Hao nodded.
"There are really no water bandits here." Jiang Xueying said softly: "This is the ancestral property of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce. Even the Taihu Council General has been driven away. How can we allow water bandits to camp up there?"
"This is called darkness under the lamp. It is precisely because everyone believes that there will be no water bandits on the Western Mountains that they hide here." Zhao Hao pointed to the mountains and dense forests in front of him and said:
"Look at the high mountains and dense forests, which are perfect for bandits to hide in. It is simply a breeding ground for water bandits."
Jiang Xueying suddenly flashed her eyes like autumn water, nodded and said: "Brother is more knowledgeable, little sister takes it for granted."
"Right." Zhao Hao sighed and said, "My sister is really frightened. Could it be that she has forgotten that you are locked up here?"
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Xueying nodded in tears and asked, "My little sister was so frightened that she didn't even remember that she was imprisoned on that mountain."
"It's the one on the south side." Zhao Hao said seriously.
"Yes, that's Yuan Mountain." Jiang Xueying nodded and said softly: "There is a Dasheng Bay at the foot of the mountain, which is a natural haven. There used to be a fishing village called Dongcun there. The water bandits took over. The East Village was treated as a gangster's den and we were imprisoned there."
"Although the girl has been rescued now, the water bandits have hid in the mountains. Their accomplices will come from other islands for reinforcements, so we can't return rashly to avoid being attacked again on the lake." Only Zhao Haochen heard He said: "We should wait for reinforcements, seize the time to build fortifications, and plan to stay for a long time."
"Brother's arrangement is very appropriate, and my little sister fully agrees." Jiang Xueying nodded and said softly: "We happen to have five ships of food, which can last us for more than half a year. But what about Kunshan?"
"Don't worry, sister. Before Brother Jin came, the first batch of grain shipped from Taicang had already arrived in the county. Pan Zhongcheng, the prime minister of Hedao who was at home in Ding You, also came to Kunshan to take charge of the government. We can live here in peace and contentment until the imperial court wipes out everything Taihu water bandits"
"Well, I'm looking forward to it." Jiang Xueying nodded happily, thinking that the longer she could stay, the better.
Although Miss Jiang still doesn¡¯t know, what¡¯s so good about Xishan, which is all stone? But that didn't stop her from trying her best to cooperate with her brother's performance.
???????????????????????????????????????????????? Only by appearing to be in tune with each other can you increase your favorability in your brother¡¯s heart.
After the performance is finished, there will be a moment of revealing.
??~~
The fleet followed Jiang Xueying¡¯s instructions and docked in the crescent-shaped Dasheng Bay.
Zhao Hao stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the lush green scenery and rolling mountains and rivers in front of him, he couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world.
He remembered that when he took a ferry and passed by this place in his previous life, it had turned into large pit-like lakes.
Or rather, it¡¯s a big pit like a lake.
That was dug out by generations of workers
Thinking that we would start destroying the environment three hundred years in advance, I felt a little guilty.
¡°Hey, if there is another choice, Mr. Zhao would be reluctant to touch these clear waters and green mountains.
This is a land given to China by God, and it must be passed down to future generations!
But who told Jiangnan that Xishan is the only treasure?
Mr. Zhao¡¯s grand ambition to save the nation must take this first step.
Especially after seeing those flintlock guns, Zhao Hao tensed up even more.
In this competition where either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, we are already a long way behind others, and we must do it at all costs.?Catch up.
¡°Forget it, the fire is burning to your eyebrows, let¡¯s pollute first and then treat
After the scientific method used by the scientific Mr. Zhao became self-consistent, the sense of guilt disappeared.
He did not walk on the pedals, but jumped directly from the side of the boat onto the wooden pier, raised his hands in the air and cheered: "Xishan, I'm here!"
Hey, why do I feel like I said this somewhere?
??~~
As Jiang Xueying said, Dasheng Bay is a natural haven. There is a small fishing village overgrown with grass on the bay, and an old fishing boat wharf that creaks when you step on it.
Five large grain ships, ten sand ships transporting troops, a dozen clippers, and more than 20 captured gun boats Fifty ships of various sizes filled the dock, and the pier was packed to the brim in the dead silence of the harbor. , it became popular immediately.
"Get off the boat, get off the boat!" As the veterans shouted, the Kunshan militiamen escorted strings of prisoners off the boat.
Wu Ji¡¯s crew and sailors also disembarked the ship in confusion at the steward¡¯s order.
After a while of chaos, Wu Ji, the militiamen, and the prisoners all gathered at the net-drying yard next to the dock.
Zhao Hao and Jin Ke stood on a protruding boulder. When they saw the good guy, they were crowded with people. "Are you afraid of a thousand people?"
"Absolutely." Jin Ke nodded and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates brought 610 people, Wu Ji had 87 people, and there were 147 prisoners. Counting the young master's entourage, these There are only nine hundred people.¡±
"Good guy." Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately there are five grain ships, otherwise eating would be a problem."
¡°I won¡¯t have to worry about food and drink for half a year.¡± Jin Ke nodded and asked softly: ¡°Young Master, do we really want to stay here?¡±
"Of course, this is a treasure land, Brother Jin." Zhao Hao stepped on the boulder under his feet and said, "This thing is only produced here in Suzhou."
Jin Ke squatted down and looked carefully at the large gray-white stone. I saw that after a month of heavy rain, it was already spotless and crystal white, with no special features.
Brother Jin raised his head and waited for the young master's explanation.
"This is limestone, no, to be precise, it is limestone for cement!" Zhao Hao said with an excited smile: "The entire Taihu Lake is made of limestone, but only the limestone from Xishan can be used to burn cement!"
"And in the entire Jiangnan region, only Xishan has coal mines!" After a pause, he couldn't suppress his excitement and said:
"In addition, there is precious pyrite! This is a heaven-given treasure, but its value can only be realized in the hands of this young master!"
"So Xishan must belong to me!"
