The Yin people who leave the machine are different materials. In the sixth year of Jiaqing, Xin Youke held a rural examination and used machines to process examination tools. All bamboo baskets, earthen stoves and oiled paper are ready. Suddenly, the governor said, I don't want to try. Big machine! At the beginning, Cai Qian and Julian, two thieves, were giants in the sea and robbed hundreds of accounts. Come back next year, rest by the sea! As soon as he left, or set sail and sent his gun into the air, Kou chased him, but he didn't smell it, so he suffered for ten years. Governor, Yizheng Ruan Gongye. Knowing the name of the machine, coastal people believe that the official is better than the machine; I also know that Haikou is afraid that Xiang Yong will surpass the officers and men, and I also know that Xiang Yong can't do it without a chance. In August, Kobolds set sail for the sea, and got a good chance to commit a dirty crime. The name is made public: I am a poor tribute student. I suck ink and hold a three-inch tube. I will try to have a teacher. If I sell it, I will try the capital, but I won't sell it to my ears. Hearing this, I started to talk about Haikou in my village, didn't I? Although I can't, I hope you can help me. The crowd said, "Please give the money to the civil servants." ? I can't. Fake gun in the military attache? I can't. How can I help you when things are urgent? Ye Jun, on the other hand, waved his arms, made a hullabaloo about, and vowed: one yuan in the official treasury, one yuan in the official camp, and no one wins. Fly books to keep fit, travel to the province, pretend to know that a hero has all kinds of money, and pretend that there are all kinds of money for a hero in the county, so I printed a piece of paper that said: those who are hungry because of the joy of losing their hometown, those who have the ability to kill others, those who fish in the sea, those who are defeated by my father and son, and those who are willing to follow me without these consequences, all draw promises. In the middle of the night, the paper makers came back. In the villages of the city, thousands of people were drawing promises. It's dawn. There are some flags, some firearms, some boats and some food. Machine: Wu yonggong? There are nine ships outside, and I take orders. That day, the tide was very strong. Kamikaze was born at sea. One shot hit a giant gun, and one stroke hit a rush, killing more than 400 thieves. In September, it was defeated by the shore again. 10 month, it was driven into the sea again. In the first month of next year, drive it to the island again. Half of Zhejiang is flat. When you leave the army, there is a red heart and blue flag in the middle, and the machine flag is also. Since the signature Daishan, its village name is also. Zhu Juan's boat is struggling. He is cursed by God. He will say that he will meet the mountain flag. Duke Ruan heard about it at the court and ordered the magistrate to use it. Now I am the magistrate of Gaoyou in the south of the Yangtze River, working for Gong Zizhen.

Yinxian Renyeji is an outstanding talent. In the sixth year of Jiaqing, the government held a township examination for Xin Youke. Ye Ji managed to take the exam as a tribute student, and everything needed was fully equipped, such as bamboo baskets, clay stoves and oiled paper. Suddenly, I got a message from the governor saying, "Don't take the exam for Gong Sheng." Leaf machine frightened! It turned out that Cai Qian and Julian were two pirates at the beginning, and there was a great disaster at sea, robbing hundreds of people in their place. It must be plundered many times a year, and the generals along the coast are too scared to make any noise! After the pirates left, someone set sail to deliver empty guns to the pirates. Pirates may even come back after them, but they dare not report their failure. Therefore, these two thieves ravaged the coast for nearly ten years. This governor made a campaign, that is, Ruan Gong of Yizheng. I've always heard of Ye Ji's reputation, knowing that coastal people trust the government more than Ye Ji; I also know that pirates are more afraid of Xiang Yong than officers and men, and I also know that Xiang Yong can't lead without Ye Ji. In August this year, pirates anchored in Dinghai and were about to invade Yinxian. After receiving the composition, Wang Dasheng said to everyone: "I am a poor tribute student, holding pen and ink, ready to take the exam." If I pass the exam, I will go to Beijing Normal University to take the exam. If I fail, I will go back. Now that Lord Zhong Cheng has heard about me, I'm afraid it's too early to recruit me to lead Xiang Yong to fight pirates. Even so, things will not stop. I hope you can help me. " They all said, "Are we asking civil servants to distribute money now? I can't! Do you want to borrow a gun from the military attache now? I can't. This matter is too urgent. What can we do for you? " Ye Ji rolled up his sleeves and shouted with open arms, and vowed, "It is not a man to use a large sum of money in the official treasury and a little gunpowder in the official camp to repel pirates." I sent a letter to the surrounding villages to recruit warriors. Ye Ji went to the provincial capital, borrowed ten thousand gold from the rich man he knew, and borrowed ten thousand gold from the rich man in the province. He wrote a statement in thick ink: "Young people are hungry and cold in the village, have extraordinary courage, fish at sea, and their father and son have been tortured by pirates. Those who don't want to go with me have signed. In the middle of the night, people came back with a proclamation. There were nearly 3,000 people in the town and village. At dawn, some flags, firearms, boats, food, etc. Be received and recorded. Ye Ji said, "Do you want so many people? Just use nine ships to fight first, and the rest are on standby. "On this day, the tide rose very badly and there was a strong wind at sea. Ye Ji's Xiang Yong took advantage of the wind, and the gun was as powerful as a pirate's gun. The role of ship pulp is lower than that of pirate warships, killing and injuring more than 400 pirates. In September, he defeated the pirates on the shore again. 10, he chased pirates at sea again. In the first month of the following year, pirates were chased to the island. Half of Zhejiang has finally settled down. When the army went out to war, the red heart and blue flag hung on the mast was the national flag of Ye Ji. Ye Ji's headquarters calls itself "Daishan Army", and "Daishan" is the name of the village where the Wang family of Yulie lived. There was an argument in Zhu Juan's fleet, and when they cursed each other, they always cursed each other for meeting Daishan Army. The deeds of Governor Ruan Gong Yu Lie Wang were reported to the court. He moved the court and made a decree to promote Yu Lie Wang to be the magistrate of a county. Now Ye Ji has been transferred to Jiangnan to be a magistrate in Gaoyou, and told Gong Zizhen about his past.
