Xue Yuanshan immediately took Ma Cheng, Yu Ming and others to the dock quickly.
When we arrived at the pier, we saw two fleets confronting each other on the river.
The three warships brought by Ma Cheng have been arranged in a perfect shape.
The five canal boats were also lined up on both sides, and they were full of Renaissance troops with bows and arrows.
Looking at the fleet on the opposite side, there are thirteen ships, four large and nine small.
There seems to be no order of formation at all.
One can see hundreds of archers holding bows and arrows on the boat, confronting Ma Cheng's navy.
"The adults are coming! The adults are coming." The clerk on the dock shouted.
People in both fleets looked towards the shore.
Xue Yuanshan and Ma Cheng came together in the Ming Dynasty.
Soon, the foreign fleet sent a small boat to the shore.
"Who is the person in charge of Jiayu?"
The boat docked, and a man came out of the boat and asked.
"I am the new magistrate of Jiayu County. Where did your fleet come from?"
Xue Yuanshan frowned and looked at the boat. The people on the boat looked like half-grown children, and they didn't know why they asked him to talk to them.
"Are you the county magistrate? Hurry and pick up the ship. On the big ship is the Crown Prince of Fengzhou!"
The boy shouted arrogantly.
"The Crown Prince of Fengzhou?" Xue Yuanshan was stunned.
From Fengzhou to Ezhou, there is Yuezhou in between. This guy couldn't stay in the fiefdom and ran away?
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and have your weapons put away. Can you afford to take care of the prince if he is injured?"
The boy asked sharply.
The three people on the shore also heard that this guy should be a eunuch from the Fengzhou Palace.
Xue Yuanshan looked at Ma Cheng and Yu Ming and whispered: "What do you two adults think?"
These soldiers on the dock are not under Xue Yuanshan's control at all.
Besides, he has now taken refuge with the King of Jiangzhou. What does it mean to you, the heir apparent of Fengzhou!
When Ma Cheng and Yu Ming were thinking about how to deal with this prince, another small boat was put down from the big ship and rowed over.
The boat came over and a military attache jumped ashore.
As soon as the man landed on the shore, he saw the three people on the shore, hugged his fists and said:
"Wang Yongning, who holds the humble position of Fengzhou Guard Baihu, has met three adults."
"The Prince of Fengzhou wishes you all well!"
"The prince is well!"
Several people hugged Wang Yongning, which is basic etiquette.
"My officer is stationed in Jiangzhou in the Ming Dynasty. This is Ma Cheng, the director of water transportation in Jiangzhou, and this is Xue Yuanshan, the magistrate of Jiayu County."
Yu Ming stepped forward and said to Wang Yongning:
"May I ask where the prince is going?"
Wang Yongning was stunned, he didn't expect people from Jiangzhou to come here.
"Your Majesty wants to go to Jiangning, please let me go." Wang Yongning said without having time to think too much.
"Jiangning has been destroyed." Yu Ming said in a deep voice.
"What! Jiang Ning is also ruined!" This time it was Wang Yongning's turn to be shocked.
They are also preparing to seek refuge in Jiangning.
As a result, now I tell him that Jiang Ning is also ruined!
It is more than a thousand miles from Fengzhou to Jiangning.
A disaster occurred even at such a long distance.
Fengzhou is relatively isolated. Until now, people like Fengzhou don't know that the entire Daqian has collapsed.
"Then...then is there any peace in this world? Do you want to go to Kyoto?" Wang Yongning said blankly.
They came here to escape, and originally wanted to find shelter in Jiang Ning, but they didn't expect that they had nowhere to go.
"Kyoto is gone! The whole Daqian is gone!" Yu Ming completely destroyed Wang Yongning's hope.
"This..." Wang Yongning didn't know what to say.
They don't have much food, so where on earth should they go?
"How many people are there in your line of work?" Yu Ming asked.
"More than six hundred." Wang Yongning replied subconsciously.
"Are there any guardsmen?" Yu Ming asked again.
"One hundred and seven people." Wang Yongning replied again.
Yu Ming and Ma Cheng looked at each other, both looking happy.
Serious guards are elites who have undergone years of training.
There are more than a hundred people here, which is a considerable fortune.
"Master Wang, why don't you come back to Jiangzhou with us?" Yu Ming extended an olive branch.
"Jiangzhou? Jiangzhou was not affected by the disaster?" Wang Yongning asked, waiting for his eyes.
"The world is suffering from natural disasters." Yu Ming shook his head and said.
When Wang Yongning was about to be disappointed, Yu Ming continued:
"However, Jiangzhou has restored basic order under the leadership of the prince. The people's lives are stable and production and life are orderly."
Wang Yongning was overjoyed, took Yu Ming's arm and asked, "Is Jiangzhou really restored?"
"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't be here!"
"The King of Ezhou has passed away. My lord, His Highness the King of Jiangzhou, has taken charge of the affairs of Ezhou on his behalf."
"Now the whole Ezhou has taken refuge with my lord."
"Yangxin, Huangshi, and Ezhou counties have restored basic order."
Yu Ming was extremely proud when he talked about this.
Unexpectedly, even the crown prince ran away, but Jiangzhou became stable under the leadership of the prince.
"My lords, please go and report this matter to the Crown Prince. I believe the Crown Prince will be very interested."
Wang Yongning clasped his fists and turned over onto the boat.
Watching the boat go away, Yu Ming smiled and said: "This Wang Baihu has a good hand."
"Well, it's indeed good. He should be one of the best in the Fengzhou Guards." Ma Cheng also smiled.
Although his martial arts skills are not high, his vision is not low, and he can also see Wang Yongning's strength.
Therefore, these two people became more interested in recruiting this team of Fengzhou troops.
Wang Yongning's small boat quickly returned to the big ship.
Not long after, the boat sailed back again.
"What did the prince say?"
The little eunuch was also waiting anxiously. When he saw Wang Yongning coming, he asked quickly.
"The prince asked you to go back, we are going to Jiangzhou!" Wang Yongning said to the eunuch.
After saying that, he jumped off the boat, hugged Ming and the others and said, "My lords, the prince has agreed to go to Jiangzhou."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Let's set off now!"
Yu Ming and Ma Cheng both looked at each other and smiled.
"Um...can you allocate some food and grass? We have been without food for a day."
Wang Yongxing asked sheepishly.
Yu Ming curled his lips, he had run out of food and still wanted to go to Jiangning?
It turned out that most of the granaries in Fengyang, the capital of Fengzhou, were destroyed, and almost all the people in the palace were dead.
After that, the remaining guards came out with the crown prince in their care, intending to visit the surrounding counties.
But the more I look at the situation, the worse it gets.
The prince was also lackadaisical. He persisted for two months, but the situation showed no improvement at all.
So we simply collected the boats we found and ran away with some able-bodied people.
It has been three days since we came here. When we boarded the ship, we were running low on food. The supply was cut off yesterday.
"Magistrate Xue, please call the people together and send some food to the prince and the others." Yu Ming turned around and said to Xue Yuanshan.
Xue Yuanshan immediately went to arrange for manpower.
He was not stingy and directly gave the Fengzhou fleet five days of rations to ensure that they could reach Jiangzhou smoothly.
The prince got the food and finally recovered from the blood in his mouth.
He also personally met with Yu Ming and Ma Cheng.
After learning that Jiangzhou had stabilized, I immediately made up my mind to go to Jiangzhou to eat and drink.
Of course, Yu Ming and Ma Cheng also knew why the prince was eager to escape.
This is a twelve-year-old child, should he be asked to take the lead in rebuilding Fengzhou?
