Clear River.

On the river, wherever Han Feiyu looked, the number of sails gradually increased in size. As time went by, they seemed to be jumping up from the river. Under the shining of the morning sun, they looked particularly full of life.

At this time, the scenery in the distance can already be seen clearly.

There were dozens of warships. The large warships were about the same size as Han Feiyu's Feiyu, and were similar to the Fu Ship.

It's just that there is more than one cannon placed on the hull.

The first ship is the flagship, which is not only the largest in size, but also has the largest number of cannons on it.

There were more than a dozen men dressed as sailors standing at the bow of the boat.

As the navy got closer and closer to them, both Luo Fengtang and Han Feiyu could clearly see the people standing on the flagship deck ahead.

The sergeant at the head was wearing formal navy uniform.

After all, naval forces are different from soldiers on land.

The navy's attack is mainly based on ships. Except for boarding battles, sailors generally do not need to engage in close combat.

Therefore, the clothing of navy soldiers cannot be the same as that of soldiers on land, which is armor that closely protects the whole body.

Luo Fengtang has excellent eyesight, and it is difficult to forget people he meets.

The commander of the navy in front was none other than Lu Zhanlong.

Lu Zhanlong wore a dagger at his waist, and a leather sheath hung on the other side of the belt. Inside was the latest firecracker.

Now his sharpest weapon is no longer the dagger he carries with him.

Instead, the Ministry of War specially equipped them with fire blunderbuss for these senior generals.

The power of this kind of fire gun is weaker than that in the hands of ordinary soldiers, but the advantage is that the fire gun has high accuracy and can hit the target quickly in a hurry.

Han Feiyu raised his hand, and then the nearby gang members began to wave flags.

When communicating on water, due to the distance, it is generally difficult to hear the sound, so semaphore is generally used.

Only by waving flags can both sides see clearly what the other side means.

The fog on the river is very light, but even if you can clearly see the face of the person on the other side, you still need to read the flags.

Subsequently, the flagship passed by the Flying Fish without stopping. Two warships in the navy broke away from the team and followed the Flying Fish on both sides.

Luo Fengtang can also understand the latest semaphore.

"Lu Zhanlong still has combat missions. Is there still banditry in Qingjiu River?"

Luo Fengtang understood the flag language, but was shocked.

"Of course there are. There are hundreds of connected waterways all the way from the Qingyi River to Bozhou in the southeast. The water bandits lurking inside do not dare to confront the Daqi navy head-on. They have already been broken into pieces and used

They are all small boats, come and go quickly." Han Feiyu said slowly.

"Why are there still water bandits?"

What Luo Fengtang wanted to know was this. As for how the water bandits behaved, based on his understanding of the military, guerrilla warfare was an inevitable choice for the water bandits.

But he doesn't think there will be water bandits these days.

It might have been possible five years ago, but how is it possible now?

Could it be that in the past five years, all the emperor's policies have been of no use?

"What else can we do? It's just that the people are in dire straits."

Han Feiyu sighed and gave Luo Fengtang the worst answer.

"How can the people not make a living? Didn't the imperial court reduce taxes? I think the people in the capital are living a much better life..." Luo Fengtang frowned.

"Beijing is Jingcheng, and Yizhou is Yizhou. The two places are naturally different."

"The people over there in the capital are now benefiting from the booming maritime transport, and they deserve to have a better life. Even so, there are still people who are so poor that they have even become beggars, not to mention Yizhou."

"The powerful squires here in Yizhou don't care how the people live, they only care about their own family's well-being. This is one of the reasons why the Yang family in Bozhou is gradually getting bigger."

Han Feiyu made some sense.

Before that, Luo Fengtang also knew that in this world, the land was being annexed, the powerful were getting bigger, and the people were suffering. After all, he was born in the countryside, but these years he was either in the capital or in the army, and he didn't even have much time to go to his hometown. For others,

There is still very little understanding of the county’s hardships.

Water thieves cannot appear out of thin air. Those who want to become water thieves despite knowing that the imperial court has a powerful navy army are basically forced to have no way out and have to desperately find a way out.

"It seems that things in Yizhou are not easy to handle..."

At this point, Luo Fengtang has already seen that the Yizhou matter can no longer be solved overnight, and it is not just a military issue.

If you want to destroy the Yang family, the first important thing is to handle the affairs of Yizhou and train a new army.

With many worries, the fleet arrived outside Tianmen Pass after a few days.

Tianmen Pass is located in the middle reaches of the Qingyi River. There are cliffs on both sides that are as sharp as a knife. There are some ancient poems carved on the cliffs, all of which were inscribed by famous people. The most conspicuous ones are the three "Tianmen Pass"

Big characters.

"It is said that if a fish crosses Tianmen Pass here, it can transform into a dragon."

Luo Fengtang looked at the dangerous terrain ahead and talked about a rumor he had heard.

The rumors are absurd, but since people pass them on, they have their own reasons.

"People always hope to reach the sky in one step, but everything in the world is made by people. Every step is human-made. Reaching the sky in one step is a fantasy and cannot be realized."

"I'm referring to ordinary people. Those who are born to be nobles are not included in this list."

No matter how dissatisfied Han Feiyu is, the obvious fact is before her: there is no absolute fairness in this world.

From the moment anyone is born and comes into this world, it is already unfair.

"It's no wonder that the people have good ideas, and you and I are also the people."

Luo Fengtang never thought that he was some noble nobleman. He was born in a rural area and made a living as a hunter since he was a child. He has experienced too much hardship and the people at the bottom understand what he thinks.

"Master Marquis, Wu Lang has told me to cooperate with Master Marquis regarding the Yizhou matter. What can I do?"

Han Feiyu asked.

This was a business matter. She had already informed the Chamber of Commerce and had temporarily handed over the head and tail. During this period, she cooperated with Luo Fengtang to prevent him from being available.

"There's no rush. Let's act accordingly and wait until I understand the personnel in Yizhou."

Luo Fengtang said.

"The governor of Yizhou County is Wan Yiren, and the military town is mainly presided over by General Huwei Yang Huchen. There are a few other prominent figures, but they are not as good as these two."

Han Feiyu said.

"Since the people here in Yizhou are already in dire straits, it seems that these two people have some problems. When I get to Yizhou, I will continue to observe these two people."

Luo Fengtang said.

"Master Marquis is here, they have received the news."

Han Feiyu said.

"Will come to pick me up."
