Chapter 922 Yizhou Rebellion

This so-called flat paving is even poorer than Fengshan in Xinghua, and it is Fengshan before Liangchuan arrived.

It is obvious that his poverty is!

There is not even a pier in a good harbor town, and the only place to get ashore is actually made of natural boulders!

The group of people dared not to dodge rashly. They were not really here to do business, but had a purpose. If there were really Japanese people in this place and the Japanese knew them, it would be a big trouble.

Xia Dehai took out his telescope and observed carefully for a while.

If there are Japanese people on the island, it is easy to recognize. These miscellaneous people are as tall as a tree stump, and they have serious legs. The torture on their heads is a typical criminal's hair, and a knife is tied to the waist, which looks like a beast.

Xia Dehai looked around and found that they were all tall indigenous people. These people couldn't even wear clothes and wore a lot of jewelry. These jewelry were obviously taken from animals' teeth and skulls, which made people's scalp numb.

"How is it, is there any movement on the island?"

"There are no Japanese people here!" To be honest, even Xia Dehai himself didn't believe it. He was a normal person who could not do such a stupid thing. He gave up Yizhou and occupied this small island of Penghu?

But it is also possible. Penghu Island is easy to hide, and there are many scattered places. What they pirates do is to shoot and change places. Unlike Yizhou, it is not that easy to run away!

"Let's see." Yang Ba snatched the telescope first. He had long been envious of this treasure, but he couldn't use it, and Liang Chuan couldn't give him a pair like a toy!

Yang Baxian looked around. Not only did he not see the Japanese, but many people on the island were injured, and even the houses were burned by fire. Could it be that there were also battles here?

Yelu Chongguang said, "It's useless to watch it again. I'll go to the island to see it later. Yang Baxian and Xia Dehai are walking around. Military advisor Su wants us to check their navy. As long as we can't see the ship, we can hand in the deal. No matter what happened on the island!"

This is an idea!

There was a small sampan on the boat, and two sailors carried Yelu Chongguang to the shore. The big ship was too big to dare to dock, for fear of being ambushed by others!

The sailor rowed the boat, and the waves were a little big, which made Yelu Chongguang's head hurt and kept shouting and scolding. How could he send such a ghost errand?

The boat rowed to a shallow, and the sailors pushed the boat into a mangrove to cover it. Yelu Chongguang went to the island alone.

It was dark at this time. There was no one in this small town called Pingpu in Xia Dehai. The houses here were chaotic and the streets were even more chaotic, and there was not even a decent street. There were no shops doing business on the streets, and every household had closed their doors and windows, without any vitality at all.

Yelu Chongguang was worried that there was no place to attack, but suddenly he was patted behind his back, which scared him so much that his hair stood up!

"who!"

Lai Yi's eyes glared at him fiercely and said, "You want to die, the sound is so loud, shut up and follow me!"

When he heard it was standard Chinese, Yelu Chongguang knew that it was his own person and immediately followed him. He was afraid that this person was a Japanese man, Han man, and there was nothing to be afraid of. He just wanted to kill himself!

The man took Yelu Chongguang to the edge of the town, where there were high walls, bright lights inside, and shelves were placed around, but the top was empty, and some were only talking about a few items, or cheap goods such as straw sandals.

After entering the wall, I found that there were still people here on guard and patrolling the wooden frame they built, all the way up and down, with their bows on their backs and steel knives on their backs!

The person who led the passerby was a little old, had a gray beard, and was still very skillful, with a pair of sharp eyes. The man led Yelu Chongguang into the house and poured him a glass of water and said, "Song people?"

Yelu Chongguang said: "How did you know?"

The man smiled and said, "My name is Barefoot Sun. You can call me Lao Sun. Now, except for the unknown Song people in the area of ​​Dagou Town, you dare to do business, and the Nanyang people dare not come. The Japanese people are so fucking hateful!"

"Dog Town? Isn't this Pingpu Town?"

Lao Sun said, "Pingpu, I haven't heard this name for many years. Since the Japanese came to this place, their Japanese name sounds like the Dog Town in Chinese! Dog Town is also good, as long as you can beat these wild dogs away!"

Seeing the newcomers coming, many people gathered around, asking Yelu Chongguang's origins one by one: "Where did you come from? What are you going to do? The world is not peaceful now!"

You can still hear the local accent in this place. Although Yelu Chongguang is not a Han Chinese in his bones, he has learned Chinese since he was a child. Now he hears Chinese again in this foreign land, which makes him feel extremely friendly.

"I came from the North and was going to go to Nanyang to sell some tea. I passed by here, why isn't it right here?"

"Tea is good, and local people also need tea. Our shop here sells tea, but there is not much inventory!"

Lao Sun was shocked when he heard this, "Your boat didn't dock, don't you dare. These people are robbing them all without discrimination!"

"No, the boat is still floating outside. I saw that the island is not peaceful, so let's take a look first! Are you all Han people or? What happened on Lao Suntou's island!"

Old Sun said, "We are all Han people, all Han people who came here to make a living from the Song Dynasty! This is a long way to say it!"

Their Han people are descendants of the Song people who first came to Yizhou to do business! There are many native people on Yizhou Island, such as Pingpu people, which is also the most common ethnic group in Dagou Town.

The business on the island is not easy to do. It’s not that the people on the island don’t need all kinds of supplies, but because the people on the island are too poor and they don’t have money, and their lives are still the most primitive bartering trading method!

Many people from the Song Dynasty also came here to do business, but they found that many islanders would rush to ask for the things they transported, such as porcelain, tea, silk and cloth. However, the islanders had no money. They had no iron smelting plant or mint, only some meat, fish and animal fur. These shabby things can only be exchanged for some basic necessities in daily life, such as salt and rice. The merchants could not transport money, and even more lucky to take valuable goods, so the business would naturally not be able to get up!

Therefore, this Dougou Town and the entire Yizhou have been closed and backward for hundreds of years, and have made almost no progress.

As the descendants of the first group of people who came to open up the land, Lao Suntou and others stayed and did not have the heavy taxes from the court, but they could not make money, and their lives were quite stable!

But the good days have completely changed since the Japanese came.

Lao Sun slowly told the dark experiences over the years.

The time started about two or three years ago. Before that, the Japanese came to Yizhou scattered and sporadic. Who would have treated the Japanese as humans? These beasts were similar to monkeys, and most of them came to Yizhou because of shipwrecks or wanderings. Anyway, even the people of Pingpu looked down on these monkeys.

Later, the situation suddenly changed. The Japanese suddenly came to Yizhou in groups with long sword weapons. They had armor and sharp swords, as well as large sea boats that were enough to reach the ocean. They came to the island from time to time to rob, causing the islanders to live in vain!

Over the past year, the Japanese have gained the upper hand. They massacred the Pingpu people who resisted. Two groups of people kept fighting each other. Most of the Han people protected themselves. Lao Suntou and others united together. This was their home and there was no way out.

"The Japanese are still on the island now?"

Old Sun sighed, "The Japanese came from Japan, and the local people used the mountains as their nests. The two sides were stalemate for several years and lasted for a long time. These days, the Japanese people couldn't support the defeat and retreated. Now the Japanese on the island were either killed or hidden, and no one dared to show their heads. You are brave and dared to sway around the streets at this time. If the local people were killed by the Japanese, no one would help you collect the body!"

Yelu Chongguang suddenly felt a chill in his neck and shouted, "Is there no kingly law here!"

Everyone laughed, and Lao Sun laughed and said, "Whoever has a knife here has a law. The law depends on who has a big fist! Do you know why the Japanese and Pingpu people dare not come to touch us? Because I am united, as long as we move alone, we will return it a hundred times, so we have survived!"

"What should I do? I can't stay in your nest all the time. I still have a lot of tea leaves that I haven't sold?"

Barefoot Sun asked with his eyes rolling around, "Do you have salt and medicinal materials there? Bring some to us, we will receive a high price!"

Because Lao Sun was surrounded for too long, their lives were not easy, and they were almost exhausted!

"Yes, but you want to send me out. I'll give you some for free at that time!"

Lao Suntou and his group lit up their eyes and thought that this deal was cost-effective. Although it was risky, it could be exchanged for salt, which was worth fighting!

Lao Sun took the lead and said, "You will stay here at us at night. You can't leave. We will send you away when dawn. At that time, most local people were sleeping!"

"This is OK, I still have a few questions to ask!"

When several people looked at each other, they wondered why this person seemed to be asking for advice, but he was not nervous, but kept asking questions!

"Ask!"

"You have been here for a long time. What is the size of the Japanese navy? Where are their navy?"

Lao Sun thought for a while and said, "We didn't see where they were hiding. They usually attacked at night and left after dawn. The local people are not afraid of them during the day, but they can't withstand their harassment at night!"

Yelu Chongguang finally knew what he wanted. It seemed that the Japanese did not completely control the Japanese island. That would be fine, and he could finally go back and report his life!

Yelu Chongguang looked out the window. Although it was quiet outside, I always felt something was going to happen! Unfortunately, he was not familiar with the place and did not dare to go out for a walk. He just stayed here first! Because Lao Sun had Yelu Chongguang's promise, he arranged a clean residence for him, which was the friendship of the landlord!
