Hongtangji Town is also in chaos.

Lin Yanchao entered the Hebo Office's office and was unobstructed, with almost no one stopping him. When he arrived at the official office, he saw a Zandian collecting official documents.

This Zan Dian knew Lin Yanchao's family, and as soon as he saw them, he said, "Why are you here?"

Lin Yanchao said: "I heard about the Japanese turmoil, let's come to find my grandfather."

Zan Dian shook his head and said, "You are so unfortunate. The police officer of the Coast Defense Supervision Hall issued an order. Ambassador Lin led a patrol and sub-stop the supervisory boat to the upstream, so as not to respond to the Japanese pirates' rebellion."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but worry about Lin Gao and asked again: "What's the current situation in Japan?"

"The Japanese pirates came suddenly, and news was everywhere. Some people said that the Japanese pirates came from Dinghai and Niutoumen, and the Xiaocheng Water Village was captured. The generals from the northern route died for their country, and the defeated soldiers were everywhere on the river. Some people said that the small group of Japanese pirates bypassed the blockade of the official army. However, in my opinion, the Japanese pirates came in a very powerful way. Although they may not be as powerful as the Japanese pirates in Jiajing, they are not a place to stay for a long time."

"Either run upstream or hide in the city, these two places are the safest."

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "I don't have to look for my grandfather, as long as we can get our dictionary into the city."

After hearing this, Zan Dian said, "The Hongshan Bridge was sealed by the officers and soldiers. Well, I have a boat in my hand to send you across the river, and then be careful of everything."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

Just now, a patrolman ran in and said unhappily: "No, no, no, Wuhumen found Japanese pirates, and the officers and soldiers were shooting the enemy!"

Zan Dian was shocked and walked and said, "They are the ambassador's family. You can take them to the city by boat. Alas, you have all hit Wuhumen. It seems that you have encountered a large number of Japanese pirates. You can leave quickly. Wuhumen is just a visit to the officers and soldiers. I don't know how long it will take for them."

Lin Yanchao and the third uncle looked at each other, and they were all grateful. It seemed that it was right to come to Hongtang Town.

The patrolman was driving the boat, and seeing Lin Yanchao with so many villagers, he said dissatisfiedly: "The big lucky ship in the institute has been transferred away. Why can my cane boat carry so many people? If the boat capsizes in the middle of the river, you all have to feed the fish and shrimps in the river."

After hearing so many patrols, the villagers burst into tears and begged. Lin Yanchao also begged: "Brother, can you make a difference? These people are my relatives!"

The patrol stop was unable to eat, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, there is still a reserved boat in the office, but no one is at the helm. Who of you can row the boat?"

When the villagers heard this, they were all overjoyed and said, "They are all people who are growing by the water, who can't sail the boat?"

At this moment, everyone squeezed onto the boat in a mess. It was still difficult to carry more than 20 people with such a canoeed boat. The patrol barrage looked bad, and he said that it would be better to take care of his family, so why should he bring so many people?

Lin Yanchao ignored it.

After passing through the Min River, the canal boat entered the small river channel. After entering the small river channel, it was less than half an hour before reaching the Ximen. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The bow of the boat lights Songming, illuminating the waterway in front of you, and the boat just walks forward and backward against the river bank.

Uncle San was patrolling and rowing boats. Lin Yanchao stood by the boat and watched hard to see if there was any Japanese love on the shore. He heard that every time the Japanese were harmed, not only foreign Japanese pirates were in chaos, but also many local bandits followed him to fish.

The night breeze was blowing, and the ears were quiet enough that there was only the sound of paddling. Everyone on the boat dared not speak. Lin Yanchao looked back and saw that the villagers just hugged their packages, lowered their heads, and had a little panic on their faces.

The Japanese pirates did not invade Fujian for six or seven years, and the people were already used to a peaceful life, but this time they remembered their original nightmare again.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think of the catastrophe seventy years later, the capital fell, the king died, the country was killed, and the battle was bloody, and then the war was everywhere in China, followed by the Three Massacres of Jiading and the Ten Days of Yangzhou...

In the poem written by Shi Dakai to Zeng Guofan, I still suffer if my ambition has not been fulfilled, and there are traces of crying everywhere in the southeast. Scholars cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country, and pacify the world. I originally just wanted to study quietly, but it seemed that I should not be alone. I should do something for the world, the country and the people.

Lin Yanchao thought carefully, but his little hand, which felt warm, held his wrist.

Lin Yanchao turned around and saw Lin Qianqian biting her lips and looking at herself. In the dark night, her eyes were as gentle as water.

"Brother Chao, are we really going to go into the city?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "After entering the city, we can go to the uncle. He will give us a place to settle down. We have money on us, so we are not afraid of having no place to live."

Lin Qianqian nodded and said, "Well, I will be with you wherever I go."

Lin Yanchao gently hugged Lin Qianqian and said, "Don't worry, I have everything."

Lin Yanchao smelled the fragrance of Lin Qianqian's body and suddenly thought that it would be far away in seventy years. Even if he couldn't see it, he and Qianqian's descendants would have to face it in the future. Then, how could he have finished his nest after being destroyed? But what can he do for the country, as a scholar?

When they arrived at the ferry, Lin Yanchao and the others got off the boat. The villagers were shocked and couldn't help but thank Lin Yanchao for his gratitude.

Lin Yanchao said a few words of modesty, saying that the danger had not passed yet, so he led them to the west gate of the city from the ferry.

It was not dawn at this moment, and the night was still dark and a little gloomy. Six red lanterns were hung in front of the city gate, illuminating the city gate tower. Under the long narrow bridge in front of the city gate, hundreds of people rushing to the city gate gathered.

The people patted the door nails on the city gate and shouted to open the door.

The city gate was indifferent. During the Jiajing period, several red cannons were added, and the cannon suits were lifted. The Ming officers and soldiers wearing Ming helmets and loud armor were patrolling the city, holding pineapple swords in one hand and holding waist knives in the other. In addition, the officers and soldiers were also equipped with guns, cannons, rockets, spray drums and other firearms.

Looking at the officers and soldiers, Lin Yanchao felt a little calmer, but at this time he heard a few rumbling cannons coming from the east, as if they were muffled thunder in the sky.

Although the sound of cannons was far away, it made Lin Yanchao feel a little uneasy.

There were many soldiers stationed in the provincial capital. He heard in the academy that there were not only three guards in the left, center and right, but also nearly ten thousand soldiers, as well as local soldiers under the garrison, the metros directly under the Fuyuan, and the strong archers in the prefectures and counties, which were also a fighting force. But this time the Japanese pirates were so brave that they actually harassed the vicinity of the provincial capital.

Lin Yanchao came for a while and gathered some people at the city gate. They all wanted to enter the city, but they were all blocked in front of the city gate. Many people couldn't help but beg and scolded at the bottom of the city. Lin Yanchao also knew that the city gate officials did not dare to take the blame easily. It was very risky to open the city gate at night and let the people enter the city. If Japanese pirates and spies sneak in or even suddenly seize the gate, it would be a big deal.

So Lin Yanchao and the others could only sit down and wait silently against a place closer to the city gate. The city gate officials also spoke, asking the people to stay calm and wait for dawn to open the city gate.

The people finally calmed down and waited patiently. The sound of wheels on the road were heard one after another. There were more and more people coming, and they all wanted to take refuge in the city.

At this time, everyone tried to sit closer to the city gate, at least within the range of the Red Barbarian cannon, and it was a little psychologically safer and a little warm. Everyone gathered together and asked each other about several villages near the city. Everyone was a little bit kinship and started chatting.

"During the Jiajing period, the Japanese pirates were not pacified, why are they coming again?"

"I'm not a dog official from the court, so I transferred Grandpa Qi away."

"Yes, if Grandpa Qi is here, the Japanese pirates will not even dare to urinate if they land on the shore."

"It's a pity that Grandpa Qi was transferred to Mobei and beat the Mongolian Tartars. I want Grandpa Qi to transfer it to the Wushou."

"Although Grandpa Qi is gone, isn't there still Shuai Yu in charge?"

"Yes, aren't the Japanese pirates afraid of Marshal Yu?"

"You don't know that I have an uncle who is a capable person. I heard from my uncle that there are treacherous ministers who can harm Mr. Yu."

"It's true, Marshal Yu is a good official? Who dares to harm him? Aren't you afraid of being drowned by our people?"

"How do I know that we understand the affairs of the court?"

"Damn, I know. Which treacherous minister wants to harm him? I'll go to his doorstep to smash him a brick."

"Okay, heroic loyalty."

The people said angrily, Lin Yanchao could understand that Grandpa Qi was Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dashui was Yu Dayou, known as Yu Long and Qi Hu.

You may not know who is the son of today in Fujian, but you must not know these two people. These two people are like Buddhas in the hearts of the people in Fujian, and they can be said to be admired by everyone. Without these two people, there would be no more deaths in Fujian during the Japanese turmoil during the Jiajing period.

Now Qi Jiguang has already been far away, but the people have built monuments for him and recorded their achievements, and they have left many stories among the people, such as Qi Jiguang killing his son, and even the snacks and cakes and paste on the edge of the tripod are all related to the story of the Qi family army.
