A few days after Liu Er confessed his love to Zhen Hui and exposed the old feud between the two families, Zhen Hui felt uncomfortable. Suddenly one day, her mood became much better. Liu Er quietly asked her what she had done yesterday. It turned out that she was watching
Several shipyards also listened to Pan Xigui's speech. Liu Er thought that the change must be on Pan Xigui's end. He naturally knew who Pan Mingyi was, so he found his niece to talk to him.
It was easy and cheap for a veteran like Liu Er to trick Pan Mingyi, a little girl. At first, he heard Zhen Hui discussing the ax on the big tree with Pan Mingyi, and thought that the person had figured out their private matter. Unexpectedly, the young man was tricked in the end.
When he was educated, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's true that he is pursuing his own affairs in his position. When he is a governor, he will care more about official duties."
Pan Mingyi blinked and said, "Second uncle, how many swords and axes does the emperor's family have?"
Liu Er didn't intend to tell his children about it, so he said: "The whole country is the sword and ax of the emperor's family. The pen of a scholar is the sword of a general." Pan Mingyi frowned and couldn't guess.
Liu Er was inexplicably relieved, and then he discussed with Zheng Chaoer, the general of the Fujian Army, about borrowing troops to put up signs. Zhen Hui and Master Zhang worked together to build a school. Yamen notices were plastered all over the streets and alleys, and the Yamen servants quickly went down to each other.
The county government sent the following message: The first thing a new official should do when he takes office is that the female governor ordered all children in the province, regardless of whether they are scholars, farmers, businessmen or men and women, to go to school. The school will provide children with three meals a day and also provide school uniforms. This is related to the country's century-old plan. Yes
Anyone who conceals it and refuses to send it will be severely punished by the governor.
Since the Malay soldiers and horses are responsible for fighting, and the Fujian soldiers and horses are responsible for setting up the battle, there is no rush for steam engines, ships and new firearms. They can buy and practice them when they come back from the opera. In mid-March, Zheng Chaoer was ready. Zhen Zang, an important minister of Wu State,
Zhu Zhengjing signed a troop loan contract with Zhen Hui, the governor of Fujian, and borrowed 5,000 Fujian naval forces for temporary use. The troops and horses were led by the commander-in-chief Zheng Chaoer. He hung the flag of a Malay merchant ship on the bow and set off from Fuzhou Port in a mighty manner.
Direct sea route to Shanghai Port.
When the ship entered the harbor and berthed, Zheng Chaoer stood on the bow of the ship and watched. The port was so big that only Hong Kong in Lingnan could rival it. He was surprised and said: "How many years has it been? Master Zhen, you asked the gods to cast a spell to create this?"
Zhen Zangzhu said: "The lower officials dare not take the credit. It is all the credit of shopkeeper Zeng and brother Bao Xian."
Then they left the ship and landed. Sister Zeng had received the telegram and knew that they were arriving in Hong Kong today and came to the pier to greet them. Zhen Zangzhu took a look and saw behind her a young man in a navy blue military uniform, about 20 years old, with dark skin.
Zheng Chaoer could tell at a glance that this young man was used to walking on the sea, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. Zhen Zangzhu also looked at him. He was from SHIELD and knew about Taiwan, Guangdong and Guangxi, Jiangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and Ping'an Prefecture.
The military uniforms of the Malay Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom have gradually become the same. This young man is so young, and the stiff epaulettes on his shoulders are amazing. He is at the rank of lieutenant general. People have secretly guessed who this person is.
Zhen Zangzhu first introduced to Zheng Chaoer: "This is the shopkeeper Zeng I told you about on the boat."
Zheng Chaoer blurted out: "Is shopkeeper Zeng a woman?"
Sister Zeng smiled sweetly: "Aren't all your Fujian governors women?"
Zheng Chaoer hurriedly held up his hands and apologized. Seeing that the young man was so heroic, he took the initiative to ask for his name. The man smiled and said: "The last name of the last general is Yang Ming'an."
Zhen Zangzhu was shocked: "Yang An?" Isn't that the Admiral of the Malay Army? Why would he be sent here for a trivial matter?
Yang An raised his hand and said, "That's right. I have admired Master Zhen Zangzhu for a long time, and I still want to ask for advice."
Zhen Zangzhu nodded lightly: "So you are General Yang An. Let's compete for two rounds if we have time."
Sister Zeng wondered: "How come our Master Zhen's reputation has spread to Nanyang?"
Yang Andao: "There happens to be an acquaintance in Malay who recognizes Master Zhen and highly praises his martial arts. The general has been fascinated by him for a long time."
Zhen Zangzhu was confused: "My acquaintance? In Malay?" Yang An smiled and said nothing.
Now the Governor of Malay is Gao Mang, Jia Cong's brother-in-law, and he has two important officials, one civil and one military. The civil one is Mu Jian, the third princess of Dongping Palace, and the military one is Yang An.
Yang An comes from the Yang family in Yuzhang and is naturally calm. He has martial arts skills from the green forest and has been a pirate for many years. He also studied the art of war under Lin Daiyu for several years. Later, his father was transferred back to Taiwan, and he took charge of the Malay garrison.
Mu Jian had a gentle temperament, and seeing that he was young, she took good care of him. Yang An developed some admiration for her. But Mu Jian did not come to Malay alone, and her first love Shi Li shamelessly followed him.
Shi Li is the orphan of a soldier in the royal forest. He has studied martial arts with the old general Mu Xu of the Dongping Palace since he was a child. The Dongping Palace relied on the third prince until he supported him to ascend the throne, but it was not publicized in the court, so no one knew about it. The old eunuch Liu Dengxi
A group of people were secretly prepared for the saint, including Jia Xu of Rongguo Mansion. Mu Xu was familiar with Jia Xu, so he sent Shi Li to him as an assistant. Later, there was chaos in the capital, and Liu Dengxi was surrounded and killed by Feng Ziying.
His subordinates, led by Mu Xu, Gan Lei, and Jia Xu, sought out Jia Cong to join forces, but in the end they were all won over by him. Shi Li still followed Jia Xu and became the earliest member of S.H.I.E.L.D.
When she was young, the third princess was very close to her uncle Mu Xu. She often went to Mu Xu's yard to play, and she and Shi Li became childhood sweethearts and had a secret love. Shi Li's status could not help Princess Shang. Prince Dongping even wanted to marry him
He had never heard of his name, so he chose a son who had no obvious talent in the duke's mansion. Niu, the second son of the chief of the Zhenguo mansion, became his son-in-law. Shi Li's son had not yet been infected with the things that Jia Cong brought from later generations.
Thoughts, watching his sweetheart get married before his eyes. Three years later, Chen Ruijin got a clue. Niu Jicheng was a normal-thinking ancient man, and Jia Cong and his wife easily took away his wife. Chen Ruijin persuaded Mu Jian to go to Nanyang to serve as an official. Shi
Li refused to let go of the opportunity, so he left all his errands in Beijing to pursue his ex-girlfriend.
The Malay Kingdom holds the Strait of Malacca, which is the throat of the Asia-Europe waterway trade route, and can collect taxes with its legs crossed. After Jia Cong's people occupied this place, Western countries and pirates also made plans. Yang An and
Shi Li worked together to collect a lot of people. Two years later, Shi Li finally impressed Mu Jian again, and the two fell in love. Yang An couldn't tell why he felt uncomfortable, so he went to Shi Li to provoke her.
Others couldn't see his little ideas, how could Shi Li not see it? He flexed his muscles and said, "It's better to have a fight." The two men had a fight. Yang An was defeated miserably and lay on the ground unable to get up.
Shi Li looked at him and said, "Only the imperial guards in the palace can defeat me in this skill. You, a pirate brat, are far behind." Naturally, Yang An also knew that he could not stop Mu Jian from being friendly with this guy.
, I just wanted to have a fight with him to vent my anger. Because I had never lost so miserably before, I became more and more diligent in practicing, and secretly wrote down the words "Ouchi Guard".
When he went back to Dajiala for a meeting, he took advantage of the opportunity to ask his master Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu said: "Dauchi guard... Liu family. He has been taken over by his fifth uncle, and now he is one of his own."
Yang An ran to ask Jia Xu again. Jia Xu said, "Yes, that big family asked us to pick up the pot and bring it back."
Yang An hurriedly asked: "Who is the most powerful?"
Jia Xu thought for a moment: "Liu Er." Yang An then thought about Liu Er.
Not long ago, Jia Cong asked the Malays to send elite troops to Wu to help fight for territory. Yang An knew that Zhen Zangzhu was Liu Er pretending to be, so he led the troops himself. Lord Zhen himself didn't know anything about it. He and Shi Li had no connection at all. Unfamiliar. Yang An mentioned an "acquaintance" and couldn't guess who it might be for a long time.
Now that all the important people are here, we must reconvene a meeting and discuss it in detail. That night, Sister Zeng held a banquet to cleanse Zhen Zangzhu from the dust. Grandson Wu and Third Master Bao were all present. Sister Zeng introduced: " Taisun, these two are General Zheng and General Yang from Fujian." Taisun hurriedly thanked them for drawing their swords for their help.
Before Zheng Chaoer could speak, Yang An smiled and said, "Grandson, there is no need to thank us. We are just following orders."
Sister Zeng agreed: "Yes, thank you very much, Governor Zhen."
Zhen Zangzhu said hurriedly: "Why are you thanking me? It's just a fair business. Grandson, their female governor is so powerful, we don't get any advantage at all."
The grandson also smiled and said: "Zeng Aiqing said that a win-win business is the best. In my opinion, this business is a very cost-effective one." Everyone praised him one after another. Zheng Chaoer knew that Yang An's identity had to be hidden even from the grandson. It was none of his business, and he couldn't do anything to expose it, so he got by.
Seven days later, the two navies left the port and entered the Yangtze River together, heading upstream. Merchant ships from the Kingdom of Wu came and went frequently, passing through many ports without anyone noticing anything was wrong. On this day, they arrived safely downstream of Jinling. The fleet anchored here to rest. Half a day later, Yang An's clipper left quietly after nightfall. At midnight, the Fujian Navy also left the port and entered the water. As they sailed towards Jinling, they put away the merchant flags and bodyguard flags on the ship and pushed them out of the cabin. The artillery came and was mounted on the deck.
Zheng Chaoer stood on the first boat and shook his head repeatedly: "I can't believe it! We arrived so smoothly. What does Wu Jun do for food?"
Zhen Zangzhu said: "It's not surprising. It's easy to become lazy after a long period of peace. Besides, all the elite Wu army went to South America to fight with Wei Ruoheng."
"Then you won't be so lazy." Zheng Chaoer glanced at him and said, "Wu is so rich, why is it like this?"
Zhen Zangzhu shook her head: "Our prince...is not unjust."
Zheng Chaoer wondered: "Your prince? No way. How could King Wu let him get involved in military affairs?"
"Of course he can't get involved in military affairs." Zhen Zangzhu said, "He can get involved in baggage, food, grass, and firearms."
Zheng Chaoer was speechless. After a while, he said, "No one told King Wu?"
"I told you, didn't he lose his position as the heir apparent?"
"When did this happen? How about earlier years?"
"Tell the King of Wu what to do. The Crown Prince is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Kingdom of Wu will belong to him sooner or later."
Zheng Chaoer frowned: "Master Zhen, this is your dereliction of duty."
Zhen Zangzhu said: "Although I have been an official for only a few years, I also know that the royal family's affairs should not be interfered with. In the past, Master Zheng, Master Zhang and you Master Zhen would not have interfered with the affairs of the Dai family." Zheng Chaoer thought as if It makes sense, but I sigh with regret.
Early the next morning, the Jinling boatmen got up to fish, and were immediately frightened. There was a large row of warships in front of Jinling Port. There were artillery guns on the bows, and all the boats were soldiers with muskets on their backs. Flags were flying on the poles. The flags were bright.
Embroidered with large characters: Fujian General Soldier Zheng. It is rare for a good person to not be afraid of death. He even asked the soldiers stationed at the port. The soldier said: "We are Fujian General Soldier Zheng Chao'er. Master Zheng. Your grandson of Wu State sent Master Zhen Zangzhu to
Fujian asked for help, saying that there was a demon concubine in Wu State that deceived the lord and killed the prince. Please ask our Governor Zhen to send troops to support the righteous way." The fisherman stared blankly for a moment, then ran away with joy. He was the first to know about such a big news, how could it be
Why don't you spread the word to others? Before noon, the news spread all over Jinling City.
Chen Ruiwen didn't know anything when he got up in the morning. He ate breakfast slowly, put on his official robe and went to the Yamen. As soon as he walked out of the door of the mansion and had not yet climbed into the official sedan, someone ran out of breath to report the news. When he saw Chen Ruiwen, he fell off his horse and said, "Mr. Chen!
Something bad is going on!"
Chen Ruiwen frowned. After looking at him for a few times, he saw that he was wearing a military uniform, and then said: "That's reckless! Which general sent you here? What's wrong?"
The man said: "The soldier is a guard of the palace. Last night, a troop of soldiers and horses appeared out of nowhere, descended from the sky and entered the palace. Now they have trapped the prince and the princess in Wangchen Courtyard!"
Chen Ruiwen was shocked: "Soldiers and horses! Whose soldiers and horses?"
The guard said: "They said he was from Fujian."
"What are the Fujian soldiers and horses doing in our country of Wu?"
The guard whispered: "They are the reinforcements invited by Master Zhen Zangzhu." Chen Ruiwen stumbled. The guard continued, "The leading general talked to the princess through the courtyard gate for more than half an hour.
The empress said, please invite Mr. Chen to go over and negotiate with them."
Chen Ruiwen thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the Crown Prince?"
"The empress has tried to hide the prince, but they couldn't find him."
Chen Ruiwen was immediately disappointed. King Wu had only a few days left to live. If the crown prince was not in the hands of Concubine Chen, he could temporarily evacuate Jinling with the crown prince, and then lead an army to fight back after a while. After that, he could just support the crown prince.
.If the prince is not in hand, he has no trump card and cannot ignore it. Fortunately, the prince is definitely not in Wangchenyuan. He said: "In that case, I will go over right away." Then he got into the sedan chair and ordered the bearers to carry it to Wu.
The palace guard thought that he would ride a fast horse to rush over, but he didn't expect that he would continue to carry the sedan chair slowly and stumble in his hurry.
Chen's Mansion is not far from Prince Wu's Mansion, and it doesn't take too long to carry the sedan chair. When Chen Ruiwen got off the sedan chair, he saw that there was more than one kind of soldier outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion. The Wu Army and the Fujian Army both held muskets and faced each other. Chen Ruiwen coughed. The leader of the Wu Army immediately stood up.
Stepped forward: "Master Chen is finally here!"
Chen Ruiwen asked: "How is the prince?"
"Besieged by thieves."
Chen Ruiwen frowned and said, "I'll go over and take a look." Then he walked in quickly.
When I arrived at Wangchen Courtyard, I saw Fujian soldiers outside the courtyard and on the walls of the courtyard, and their muskets looked as powerful as those of the Wu State. There was an old eunuch at the door who had already looked at him and shouted: "Master Chen is here!" Chen Ruiwen was looking at him!
Without any courtesy, I followed him into the courtyard in a hurry.
There were also Fujian soldiers standing in the front yard, and a few were guarding the entrance to the main hall. Chen Ruiwen strode across the threshold and saw a man sitting at the top of the room. He stood up and greeted him with his hands raised: "Master Chen, I haven't seen you for many days.
You're fine." It was Zhen Zangzhu.
Chen Ruiwen sneered, and seeing a young general sitting next to Zhen Zangzhu, he said to him: "Wu and Fujian have never invaded the wells, so why come here?"
The young general said leisurely: "Master Zhen gave us a benefit."
Chen Ruiwen choked, and all the words he had prepared were of no use.
