Coincidentally, at this time, a group of fishermen were gathering to discuss in Fanyu, Guangdong.

Since the new Guangdong Governor Lu Chongjun took office, King Shang Kexi of the South of Peace has been responsible for the implementation of the sea ban. Lu Chongjun belongs to the Han army flag and is very dedicated to the sea ban. He repeatedly reiterated that the people in the coastal areas of Guangdong must move into the mainland without leaving any land, and will never give the Zheng army any chance to infiltrate the mainland and recruit soldiers.

The person who led the Guangdong Green Camp to ban the sea was Guangdong Admiral Wu Liuqi. With his great achievements to Li Chengdong and Shang Kexi twice, Wu Liuqi was highly valued by the Qing court. When Shang Kexi ordered the Guangzhou Massacre, Wu Liuqi also took the headquarters to implement it without fail. After the ban on the sea, Wu Liuqi repeatedly agreed to Shang Kexi and reported to the Qing court that Guangdong was the "hardest hit area" of Zheng's army activities, saying that many people in Guangdong were unwilling to be ruled by the Qing court and were looking forward to Zheng Chenggong's counterattack day and night. Therefore, Wu Liuqi believed that Guangdong's ban on the sea must be implemented more severely. Without Lu Chongjun's repeated supervision, Wu Liuqi regarded the ban on the sea as a top priority and sent his subordinates to patrol the coast day and night to hunt down fishermen who risked going out to sea due to their livelihood, for fear that they would not kill all the poor Guangdong fellow villagers.

While trying their best to capture and kill Guangdong fishermen, Wu Liuqi also took a two-pronged approach and dispatched a large number of green camps to set up boundary stones on the coast, and repeatedly pulled the net to search. Anyone who crossed the boundary stones would be killed without mercy. As a Chaozhou native, Wu Liuqi implemented the most thorough sea ban order in the hometown of his parents and ancestors. He was not even satisfied with the fifteen-mile sea ban area suggested by Huang Wu, but killed all the parents and villagers within 50 miles of the coast.

The selfless Wu Liuqi not only refused to show off his hometown, but was even more ruthless. This not only made Shang Kexi and Lu Chongjun very satisfied. The Qing court in Beijing also highly praised his loyalty and awarded Wu Liuqi the title of Young Tutor and Prince Tutor.

The fishermen who gathered to discuss the matter today, the leader named Zhou Yu. Under Wu Liuqi's repeated encirclement and suppression, Zhou Yu felt that he was almost unable to survive.

"These days, the wind is getting tighter and tighter." Zhou Yu's face was tense, without a smile. Both of his uncles were wrong and were caught by patrolling Guangdong naval officers and soldiers. The fishermen on the boat were unpardoned, regardless of age, and the heads were carried on the flagpole and sent back to the yamen to ask for merit. Now every time he went to sea to catch fish, he was simply going to the gate of hell to break through.

Many people who attended the meeting held their heads and said nothing. Some people stopped going to sea because they were afraid of things. They thought that as long as they avoided the limelight, their lives would still be able to survive. Unexpectedly, the rumor of the wind has been tightening day by day in a few months. The fishermen did not save much, and it was difficult to protect the elderly at home even if they went out to sea every day. The children would not go hungry, let alone now! They gathered together, and at the beginning, they thought about taking care of each other and communicating whether there were blind spots in patrols by officers and soldiers, so that they could seek life in the death. But there were fewer and fewer places in this kind of place, while their companions were decreasing.

"Where is Boss Wang?" Zhou Yu did not immediately express the idea that he had been thinking about these days, but wanted to wait until everyone gathered to reveal it. But he waited, and several older fishermen still did not arrive.

"Boss Wang? I'm gone. I was caught when I crossed the line yesterday." After hearing Zhou Yu's question, a fisherman sitting in the distance replied in a low voice.

There was a buzzing sound in the crowd, all of which were sighing for Boss Wang. This old fisherman would always share with everyone the ways he found to cross the blockade line, so he had a high prestige in everyone's mind. Several other people who did not come also encountered the same fate as Boss Wang. Wu Liuqi set up an airtight boundary stone logo on the coast of Guangdong. All Han people who crossed the boundary one step, the Green Camp officers and soldiers were obliged to kill them on the spot. Not only did they not need to be reported to kill people, but if the Green Camp officers and soldiers were lenient, they would also have to be punished with the fishermen who crossed the boundary.

In the early days of the ban on sea, the soldiers of the Green Camp sometimes accepted bribes and sometimes gave a look at female fishermen and children. After all, many of the Green Camp soldiers were fellow villagers in Guangdong. However, after the policy of Wu Liuqi's crimes was issued, all of these accommodation disappeared. Those fishing women who risked going out to sea and wanted to find a bite of food for their families were killed on the beach with their husbands. In order to intimidate the Han people in Guangdong to avoid violating the laws of the Qing court, these heads were placed in a row on the boundary stone.

In the Chaozhou area of ​​Wu Liuqi's hometown, the heads on the blockade are densely packed with blood, and more are white bones and skeletons. Any fresh human head will soon be eaten by birds and beasts.

"There is no way out." There will be no more people coming to the meeting. Zhou Yu slowly began his speech: "Wu Zhe is promoting the methods he used in Chaozhou to the whole of Guangdong. By that time, we will all starve to death."

"Is there any way for Boss Zhou?" Some people were not completely desperate and asked Zhou Yu loudly.

Some people advocate risking their lives to escape: "Let's go to Fujian, there may be no ban on the sea there."

"How could it be that I can't help it? The court said that shave my head, that everyone in the world has to shave. Can people in southern Fujian not be able to shave it?" This naive idea was immediately overturned by everyone ruthlessly: "The southern Fujian must also ban it. Besides, we went far away and didn't know where to go for fishing. Also, what should our family do? If the whole family goes to Fujian, if we meet the officers and soldiers patrolling the sea on the way, wouldn't it be that they have no son or grandchildren?"

"If you can't leave the sea, the whole family will starve to death, and it will be a dead son and a grandson!" The refuted man said dissatisfiedly: "When you were caught here and your head was cut off, your family will starve to death in the end, and your grandson will be cut off. It's better to go to Fujian, at least Wu thieves can't control it."

But the person who said this also knew deep down that he was dreaming. Without Wu Liuqi, there would be no green camp. Fishermen need to replenish fresh water and food. When they reach Fujian, where they are unfamiliar, they will only die faster.

"Have you heard of the third prince in Chengdu?" Zhou Yu suddenly asked after everyone fell into silence.

The people present nodded one after another, and many people who were not well-informed also heard about the Battle of Gaoyou Lake and countless other rumors about Deng Ming. After the Sea Ban Order, many fishermen were hoping that King Li Dingguo of Jin would come to Guangdong again, or that the third prince could appear in Guangdong like a divine weapon descending from the sky.

"Okay, I'll introduce someone to you." If there were no rumors about the third prince, Zhou Yu originally planned to continue hiding with his relatives and friends to see if he could persist until Wu Liuqi died suddenly, or the court suddenly mercilessly lifted the ban. But Emperor Shunzhi, who was the emperor, could be killed by the Ming army in Gaoyou Lake, which was undoubtedly a great encouragement and hint for fishermen like Zhou Yu.

A stranger walked out. The man was dark-skinned, barefoot, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles. At first glance, he felt like an ordinary fisherman who had been rushing on the sea all his life. The only difference from Zhou Yu and others was that the stranger's mouth was not the Chaozhou accent similar to the Minnan language, but the complete Minyin.

"This is the second prince of Emperor Lie," Zhou Yu became a translator for the stranger. Every time the second prince said, Zhou Yu translated one sentence: "The real name of Qiansui is Zhu Erlong, and the third prince of Chengdu Zhu Sanlong is Qiansui's younger brother. Qiansui plans to bring us up and restore Guangdong, and then join forces with the third prince and the prince of Yanping to regain the throne."

According to Zhou Yu, the second prince and the third prince are both compatriots, and they are taught by the same stick master. The two brothers are actually not very different in their wisdom and fists, and even Zhu Erlong is a little stronger as his brother.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, the fishermen looked at Zhu Erlong blankly. In addition to respect, many people also had joy and admiration. Many people had thought at this time that since their younger brother could make such a big noise, their older brother would definitely not be bad. Deng Ming even killed the emperor, what were Lu Chongjun and Wu Liuqi in front of his brother? As for Shang Kexi, no matter how powerful he is, he is not as good as the emperor, otherwise wouldn't he be the emperor and Shunzhi came to be the King of Pingnan for him?

"The second prince said that when he takes up the throne, he will give him fifty boats to each of them. At that time, everyone will not have to go out to sea to fish. They just sit at home and collect rent every day," Zhou Yu rang the railway while the fire was hot: "If you make great contributions, the second prince will send him 100 boats, and there will be fifty more than fifty."

"Fifty boats!" A great man stood up first to respond to the call: "It's better to die at the same time and in a vain."

The big man came forward, knelt solemnly at Zhu Erlong, and swore allegiance: "Emperor, if I...if I have a strange intention in the future, I will capsize and drown in the sea, and my descendants will never go ashore!"

With the leader, the other fishermen rushed up and showed their simple loyalty to Zhu Erlong. After everyone had sweared, Zhou Yu stood beside Zhu Erlong, asking everyone to go back quickly, and called on their relatives and friends to pick up the guys to protect the second prince and the future emperor, and to kill the eagle minions under Wu Liuqi.

Li Rong is Zhou Yu's friend, and their friendship was accumulated through the struggle with the storm. After the meeting, Li Rong said to Zhou Yu in surprise and joy: "How did the eldest brother find the second prince? This time we have a way out."

"Brother..." Facing his close friend, Zhou Yu whispered the truth and told the other party that this was actually a Fujian fisherman who fled, and was erected as a flag by himself: "I originally wanted to discuss it with you first, but have you secretly gone out to sea these days?"

"This..." Li Rong felt his blood was extinguished. Since he was not real Zhu Erlong, his ability may not be comparable to Zhu Sanlong in Chengdu.

"So what?" Zhou Yu disagreed with his good friend's concerns: "At least we can go out to sea to fish openly these days, and we can also kill officers and soldiers. I would rather be killed by random knives than starve to death."
