Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 363
The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the sea is rising with a thousand zhang rays of light, dyeing the sparkling sea into a piece of gold.

After a night of sailing, more than [-] canoes finally arrived at Kunbei Bay. The sea was densely covered with black dots. They stopped rowing and put themselves in a state of temporary rest. At this time, they were still several miles away from the mouth of Kunbei Bay. , Whether to enter Kunbei Bay or not is up to Chief Wu Gan to decide.

Wu Gan looked at the land in the distance, and then at the sky. He felt that the morning glow was a little strangely red, which might be the harbinger of the coming storm.

"Go into the bay!"

More than a thousand Kun men screamed and rowed towards Kunbei Bay with all their strength. Just as they entered Kunbei Bay, more than ten Song Army Qianshi warships approached them, lined up, and stopped them The way of going seems to be a patrol ship of the Song Army.

But when Wu Gan turned his head, he found that there were more than [-] warships behind him. They were blocked by the Song Army warships at the mouth of Kunbei Bay, and they were in a dilemma.

There was a strong anxiety in Wu Gan's heart. The Song Army obviously had an ambush. Did they already know that they were coming?

All the Kun men looked at each other in blank dismay, and many of them had fear in their eyes. The boiling blood when they set out last night had long since subsided. At this time, dignity is no longer important. They were already exhausted from paddling all night, and they wanted to paddle back. It's impossible, what should I do now?
At this time, the first big ship boarded 'Bang! ' With a loud noise, a big black iron egg soared into the sky and flew towards the top of the Kun people, with green smoke bubbling from above, and before everyone could react, the big iron egg flew violently in the air. 's exploded.

The earth-shattering explosion shook the Kun people's liver and gallbladder, followed by a dense burst of iron, no one could be spared within a hundred steps, the explosion was mixed with countless shrill screams, and the next thing was The powerful shock wave broke the canoe, and the limbs flew across. Even the Song army was affected. The mast of the ship that fired the iron fire thunder was broken, and the front hull was shattered.

This iron-clad fire mine was a stern warning to the Kun people. After the explosion, the center of the explosion and its surroundings were in chaos. Nearly two hundred canoes were blown up or overturned, and hundreds of people were killed or injured. Everyone was terrified and hugged. Head bowed on the canoe.

The Song Army ships closed in from all sides, thousands of Song Army soldiers holding crossbows coldly aimed at the remaining Kun men on the sea.

In confusion, fear and despair, the Kun man looked for the figure of their great chief everywhere, but his canoe had disappeared, and the iron fire thunder just exploded above his head, and no one knew what his current situation was. Sample?
"Over there!" someone shouted pointing at the sea.

There were dozens of corpses floating on the sea surface, one of them was wearing leather armor, which was the costume of their great chief, and among all the people, he was the only one wearing a fine cowhide armor.

It's just that this corpse can no longer tell whether it is the great chief. The head of the corpse was blown off, and one leg was missing.

Without Song Jun shouting again, the men of the Kun clan stood up one after another, raising their hands high. At this time, dignity is worthless, and saving their lives is the kingly way.

More than a dozen patrol boats came, and amidst the soldiers shouting orders, the Kun people threw their weapons into the sea one after another, and were escorted by Song Army warships to row to the shore.
Just before dawn, two thousand soldiers of the Song Army surrounded the tribe of the Kun tribe. There were less than a hundred young and strong people in the tribe, and the rest were old and weak women and children. The man was escorted to Fan Ning, followed by the tribal elder Savin.

Fan Ning was riding on the horse, looking at this handsome Japanese man. He was not tall, at most over 1.5 meters. At this time, his face was pale with fright, and he knelt in front of Fan Ning and trembled.

"Are you Qingyuan Guanglai's son?" Fan Ning asked coldly.

A translator uttered Fanning's words in Japanese, and Tachibana Laizhen had completely collapsed. He whispered, "I'm not the patriarch's son. I'm his nephew, named Tachibana Laizhen."

Fan Ning sneered and said, "So it's a child of the Tachibana family in Oga County. I said, why is Qingyuan Guanglai willing to marry his daughter to an idiot like Wu Gan?"

Fan Ning immediately waved his hand, "Put him down and wait for his punishment!"

The soldiers took Ju Laizhen, who was trembling all over, down. At this moment, Savin stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The perpetrator is Wu Gan, and the rest of the tribe are innocent. I beg Zhizhou to let us go!"

Fan Ning nodded, "I promised before that only the culprits will be punished, and the innocent will not be harmed. Today most of the young and strong will be escorted back. This time, you will be spared. If there is any disagreement, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

Savin was overjoyed, and kowtowed to thank, "We must abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty, and there will be no more unreasonable thoughts!"

"Go! Together with the other elders, appease the people."

Fan Ning immediately sent an order to withdraw the troops. The army only arrested more than a dozen people from Dewa Country, including Tachibana Laizhen, his sister, and more than a dozen servants and maids. They will be escorted back to Tang County.

At this time, Xu Yan asked Fan Ning in a low voice, "Is this how you let them go?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "They are always worrying in Kunzhou, I will stabilize them first, and then move them to Chuyu Kingdom after we seize the Yu Kingdom, and all the Kun tribes will move there, and the Kunnan Peninsula will be able to Garrison."

Xu Yan gave a thumbs up and flattered him with a smile: "It's still a good commander!"

Fan Ning smiled, turned back and told Cai Zhuo: "I will leave you five hundred soldiers, and I will leave the rest to you. During this time, you will be responsible for monitoring the Kun people. I will notify you when the time is right." Next move."

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Fan Ning immediately ordered the army to return to Tang County. Song Jun escorted Ju Laizhen and others in a bullock cart, and the army marched in the direction of Tang County.

Fan Ning has been dealing with the affairs of the Kun people for the past few days, and he didn't care enough about his wife. When he returned to Tang County, he went straight back to his home. Aya and Xu Qing drove a carriage and waited at the door.

"Ape, where are you going?" Fan Ning asked, getting off his horse.

Seeing her husband coming back, Zhu Pei was so happy that she ran forward and shook his arm coquettishly, "I've been suffocated at home these days. I want to go to Nanhu for a walk. Husband, you should go too."

Fan Ning nodded with a smile, "Just finished dealing with a bunch of troublesome things, let me breathe a little easier, then let's go together!"

Zhu Pei suddenly smiled, and quickly said: "Husband, I want to ride a horse too!"

Fan Ning nodded and said with a smile to Xu Qing: "Go to the official office to exchange two horses. You can do it yourself, so you don't need to accompany me."

Xu Qing is now not only the instructor of swordsmanship in the army, but two months ago, with the support of Fan Ning, he opened a martial arts gym in Tang County. He has accepted dozens of immigrant teenagers as his disciples. He is also very busy teaching martial arts every day. .

Xu Qing said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, my aunt. During this period of time, I haven't cultivated a big disciple. I have to do everything by myself. It's really busy. In a few months, I think it will be easier."

"Go! Change two horses, and then come to the government office to find me tomorrow morning. I have something to tell you to do."

Xu Qing drove the carriage, and soon brought two horses from the government office, Zhu Pei rode one, Jian Meizi and Aya rode the other, and the three of them galloped out of the city.

The south of the city is the agricultural area of ​​Tang County, which has completely changed. Everyone walked slowly along the Xiaotang River. To the west of the Xiaotang River is an endless wheat field. Wheat is only sown in spring. Although it is early summer, the wheat field is still green. of a slice.

Ridges and ditches criss-crossed in the wheat fields, and the newly planted willow trees on the ridges were already lush and lush, which made people feel open-minded and relaxed.

In the distance, dozens of houses can be faintly seen, hidden among the green trees. There is a small village with about fifty or sixty families.

The villages of the Kun people are very small and built along the water. Each family occupies a large area, which looks very pleasing to the eye and is very comfortable to live in.

Many people living in the city are also considering going to the countryside to buy a piece of land and build a house for the family to use for vacation.

However, there is basically no business in the countryside of Kunzhou, and you have to go to the city to buy daily necessities, so every market day, the county will become extremely lively.

"Husband, this place is completely different from last year!"

Jupe remembered the situation last spring, and she couldn't help but marvel.

Even Jian Meizi, who has always been silent, praised: "It's really good, it's no different from Da Song!"

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Last year when you first came, the land happened to be distributed. At that time, it was barren everywhere. The land has been cultivated for a year, and the wheat has been fully cultivated since this year. According to the experience of Juntian, it is estimated that the yield per mu will be two There will definitely be a bumper harvest at the end of the year."

"Won't there be a drought here?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "There will be no droughts, floods, or pests here. The heavy snow in winter makes the soil moisture very good and the land is fertile. The only disaster is there!"

Fan Ning pointed to the mountains to the north, "There are volcanoes over there. Once the volcano erupts, the farmland here will be in danger."

Zhu Pei suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Husband, what should we do if the volcano erupts?"

Fan Ning laughed, "You don't have to worry about this. It will take at least a few hundred years before the eruption occurs. Besides, there are many signs of a volcanic eruption, such as the beginning of smoke. At that time, we will organize the people to evacuate. There will be no casualties."

Zhu Pei patted his chest and gave her husband a blank look, "What are you talking about hundreds of years later?"

"Be prepared!"

Fan Ning laughed and waved his horsewhip, "Let's go, we will meet by the lake ahead!"

He galloped on his horse and ran towards the lake more than ten li away to the south.

"Husband, wait for me!"

Zhu Pei also hurriedly rode his horse and ran, following Fan Ning closely.
