The wupeng sand boat traveled on the lake for a day and then returned to the Huaihe River.
After another day of walking on the Huaihe River, we entered a more open water surface.
Looking at the vast and endless scene in front of them, the brothers were very shocked. This was much bigger than their Xuanwu Lake.
"This, this is entering the sea." The second brother was dumbfounded.
"No." The third brother shook his head and said, "We first walked for a day at Nushan Lake, and then headed east along the Huaihe River for a day. We are still far from entering the sea. This should be Hongze Lake."
"Oh, my brother is really awesome." Protector Shi also came out to get some air, and was surprised when he heard the sound: "Most people on a boat have a hard time distinguishing the direction and distance."
"This is just one of my many advantages, which is insignificant." Zhu Bian looked up to the sky proudly, allowing Protector Shi to see what it means to be a real Zhuang Boyi.
He would not tell Shi Chenglu that in fact, he only knew that Hongze Lake had arrived when he saw his ancestral grave just now.
Of course, their ancestral tomb is a little bigger, as big as a city. So it should be more accurately called the ancestral tomb.
Of course, this ancestral mausoleum on the west bank of Hongze Lake, like the imperial mausoleum in Fengyang, was built by Boss Zhu after he became rich.
In the imperial mausoleum in Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang's parents, Renzu Chun Emperor Zhu Wusi and his wife, are buried.
The ancestral mausoleum in front of us is the tomb built by Boss Zhu for the late emperor of the third generation of his ancestors at the site of his grandfather's grave.
~~
"Yes, this is Hongze Lake." Prince Ming also appeared on the deck and gave a positive answer.
Zhu Di gave the two brothers a wink, and the three of them quickly stood behind King Ming with their heads held high.
The three brothers still know very well how to be soldiers.
Prince Ming nodded with satisfaction. He originally thought that these three young masters had too much habits and could not find their right position, so it would be embarrassing to take them out.
It seemed that I was worrying too much.
"Actually, before the Zhongdu uprising, we not only organized uprisings in Fengyang County, but also were busy elsewhere. We asked each province to take charge, and all the incense halls in each prefecture selected the best and concentrated them into this vast swamp." At this time, he said
He also revealed to the brothers:
"But when Zhongdu revolted, I did not use this force, otherwise Zhongdu City would not have been able to be captured."
"Then you...Ming Wangwei, why don't you use them?" Zhu Xi asked.
"So what if we capture Zhongdu? We have a bigger plan." Prince Ming smiled faintly and said, "You will know when the time comes."
Zhu Zhen looked at the Riddler who only spoke half of his words, and secretly cursed, There are two types of people I hate the most in my life. One is those who only speak half of their words...

The sand boat sailed in Hongze Lake for another half day, and then plunged into a maze of reeds on the water.
Hongze Lake was originally a group of small shallow lakes. It was called Fuling Lake in ancient times, Pofutang after the Han Dynasty, Hongzepu in the Sui Dynasty, and Hongze Lake in the Tang Dynasty.
In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River took over the Huaihe River, and the Huaihe River lost its channel into the sea. It accumulated water to the east of Xuyi, and the original small lake gradually turned into a vast swamp.
Therefore, although Hongze Lake is large, it is still a shallow lake covered with sandbars and reeds, and the deepest point is only one or two feet.
This kind of environment, which is full of green gauze tents, has eighteen bends in the waterway, and cannot be penetrated by large warships, is the most suitable environment for water bandits to occupy...
In the early morning, the awning sand boat finally docked in a sandbank and water village deep in the Hongze.
On the simple trestle made of bamboo and wood, a group of strong men with red scarves on their heads and barefoot shorts have been waiting for a long time.
"My subordinates will pay homage to King Ming!" When King Ming was helped up onto the trestle by his own soldiers, all the red scarf soldiers clasped their fists and saluted.
"You don't have to be polite." King Ming nodded with satisfaction and asked the leader: "Guardian Lei, are all the brothers here?"
"King Hui Ming, we are almost all here. The brothers are now at the helm and living in nine water villages in Hongze Lake." A man who looked like an iron tower answered in a loud voice.
"Okay, I'll order all the helmsmen to come see me at noon tomorrow." Prince Ming nodded with satisfaction. He was about to give a few words of instruction when he suddenly heard a child scolding from behind him:
"Get the hell out of here and stay away from my Great Sage Pingtian!"
The second and fourth sons who were his bodyguards quickly looked back, but it was the fifth and sixth sons who had a conflict with some red scarf soldiers.
"The regulations in the village are that livestock must be raised together!" Several Red Scarf soldiers thought they hadn't eaten meat for a long time. When they saw the fat and strong Bull Demon King, they couldn't hold it back on the spot. King Ming couldn't wait to eat meat before he had gone far.
Take the cow away.
Of course Zhu Zhen didn't agree and protected his cow with all his teeth and claws.
Although Zhu Tong was powerless, he was afraid that his brother would suffer a loss, so he still waved the medicine box in front of him.
Several red scarf soldiers didn't take these two boys seriously. They raised their guns and tried to push them away.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the swing, the gun stopped moving.
When several people looked back, they were horrified to find that they were already shrouded in the shadow of the giant.
"If you dare to touch my brother, go to hell!" Zhu Ping roared angrily, and with a fierce force, he threw the red scarf soldiers into the water.
Fortunately, the water was not deep, so several people climbed up in great embarrassment.
But the faces of the Red Turban Army officers were not good-looking.
"Boy, is this a place for people to run wild?" Protector Lei snorted coldly. He walked up to Zhu Xi and realized that he still had to look up to him.
"Why, you don't accept it?" Zhu Ping lowered his head and looked at him. Their exaggerated chests were almost touching.
"Hey, I have something to say..." Protector Shi said, wanting to step forward and separate the two.
Prince Ming shook his head slightly, he wanted to see if these brothers were really as good at fighting as they looked.
Besides, if Zhu Xi can really get a few moves under Thunder Tiger, he will be able to establish his authority in front of these arrogant and powerful generals. It will dispel many of their inappropriate thoughts.
~~
Seeing that King Ming was acting like he was watching a show, the Red Scarf Army, which had been isolated from the world for almost a month, immediately started cheering loudly and formed a circle to watch the fun.
However, they are all cheering for their general.
The Zhu brothers tried their best to cheer for their second brother, but were soon drowned out by a hundred times the cheers.
Zhu Zhen was so angry that he immediately pulled out the suona from the cow's back, puffed up his cheeks and started blowing!
As soon as the suona sounded, the whole audience was immediately silenced.
Amidst the sound of the suona, the fighting spirit of both sides exploded, and they shouted angrily, like two tigers coming out of the gate, and they pounced on each other.
There were muffled sounds of "bang" and "bang", and Zhu Ping hit Lei Huhu with three punches in succession, and Lei Hutou also punched Zhu Ping in the chest with three punches in succession.
Lei Hu couldn't help but swayed, but when he saw that the other party didn't change his expression, he knew that he wouldn't be able to gain anything by confronting him head-on.
He wanted to deceive the opponent's youth and win by cleverness. He first made a shadow of his fist, then suddenly turned around and walked away. As expected, Zhu Zhen rushed forward.
Thunder Tiger grinned ferociously, tightened his abdomen and curled up, supported his body weight with his right leg, bent his left leg and raised it, and pushed his heels backwards in a straight line like lightning with all his strength!
This move, 'Tiger Tail Kick', is his secret skill. It is concealed, fast, and powerful. Every opponent he encounters for the first time will be hit by this move.
What? The second time? No one can stand in front of him a second time.
Thunder Tiger took it out as soon as he came up, which shows that he attaches great importance to Zhu Xi.
As expected, Zhu Feng was caught off guard and was hit in the chest. With a groan, he was knocked upside down and flew out.
Lei Hu turned around and stood still, calmly withdrew his move, and was about to say a few words for the occasion.
But suddenly I realized that I didn't hear the cheers.
He quickly looked back and was horrified to see the giant man standing still as if nothing had happened.
