The Sun family sent three heavy fighting ships, which were considered top-notch even among the Jinbo navy. Each fighting ship was equipped with a hundred tiger roaring cannons, and the combined combat power of the three ships was enough to crush Liyang's poor navy.
Considering the fact that the two countries have been at odds for a long time, it would have been impossible for the Tsunami battleships to safely approach Shirakawa Port in normal times, but this time Jinba came in the name of the escort and inspection department.
The inspector is a special envoy sent by the Imperial Court. Although the current dominance of the imperial court has been greatly weakened, so far no princes have dared to openly raise the flag of rebellion. As a prince who rules Liyang, the Wu family has to follow the rules no matter how reluctant it is.
We came to meet the inspection department and his delegation.
As for the Sun family navy accompanying them in the name of escort, they could only hold their noses and endure it.
Liyang and Jinbo had deep grudges, and they were aggrieved by being ridden in the face by the flying dragon this time. In order to prevent the gunfire from going off, Zichen Pavilion on the one hand strictly ordered the residents of Baihe not to provoke disputes, and on the other hand, it also dispatched the Feather Cavalry Battalion to station at Baihe Port to monitor
And restrain the Jinbo Sun clan's movements.
The Yuqiying is a powerful force under the command of the Wu family that shocks all the countries. Even the Sun family's Jinbo navy, which has strong ships and powerful artillery, has never tried to defeat Liyang in a land battle. With the Yuqiying in charge, the people of Jinbo will certainly
They don't dare to mess around in the river port. However, this does not prevent them from showing off their power and provocation by fighting ships at home.
Li Yang and Jin Bo are feuding, and this time the other side came to provoke them. Li Yang's soldiers and civilians were naturally very angry. However, Zichen Pavilion strictly ordered them not to cause trouble, and even the Secret Investigation Department sent people to come and watch the scene.
As a result, I can only hold in my anger and have nowhere to put it.
But the situation today is a bit special.
The inspector's motorcade returned from a parade, but its usual high-spirited appearance was nowhere to be seen. The Jinbo people driving the cars were whispering to each other, looking vaguely frightened. As for the good man Zhu Shen, he hid himself under the thick curtain of the van.
, never showed up again from beginning to end.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
"An ignorant bastard...an arrogant and ignorant brat..."
In the side room of the boat formation at the river port, Zhu Shen looked at the square corner of Liyang City in the distance while gritting his teeth and cursing someone who was serving as the Young Supervisor. Since returning to the river port, he has never stepped out of the side room, and his spirit has always been
In such an unstable state of anger and fear.
"How dare you treat me like this...son of a bitch..."
The scene of the three magical armored vehicles passing by its compartment during the day seemed to be vivid in his mind. Zhu Shen cursed to vent the resentment in his heart, but he could not suppress the frightening feeling.
Those armored vehicles are undoubtedly the creations of Gewufang. According to common sense, Gewufang is just a quasi-manufacturer in the border area, but Zhu Shen is a good manufacturer appointed by the Imperial Manufacturing Department. There is a huge gap in status between the two.
Mu Tian Ti. It is the rule to stop and give way when encountering people along the way, but to overtake without saying hello like Gewufang did is simply unheard of and ridiculous.
To interpret its meaning, it means that the master of Gewufang did not take him as the inspector seriously at all.
Normally Zhu Shen would have been furious, but this time an indescribable emotion overwhelmed his anger, so much so that Zhu Shen had to use alcohol to numb his turbulent emotions.
The craft master is a profession that studies and creates things, and the society formed by this is also the most strength-oriented society. Zhu Shen can go from a poor quasi craft to a good craft favored by the imperial crafts department. Of course, he is no idiot. He turned his back on Li Yang in a hurry but cut off the future.
Road, and ended up having to lie dormant in Qinzaosi for ten years, which Zhu Shen regretted upon reflection.
It's just regret, and it's just a mistake in timing. Zhu Shen is quite confident in his ability to create things, and has no doubt that he can rise again as long as he gets the support of Jinbo. He even believes that if he didn't
If you leave Liyang in a hurry, there will be no chance for Gewufang to show up.
If Zhu Shen's self-confidence was shaken by his previous visit to Gewufang, then the several armored cars passing by this time completely tore his self-confidence to pieces!
Even if he had not betrayed Li Yang at the beginning, even if he had received the full support of Duke Li Yang, he probably would not have been able to create such a miraculous creation in a few more lifetimes - it is precisely because Zhu Shen is not a real idiot that he can understand the two.
Huge difference in creative power.
To use a metaphor, they are probably like a fish and an eagle. The former is still flapping in the turbid water, but the latter is already soaring in the sky. From vision to talent, the two sides are far apart. The more Zhu Shen tries to look up at the figure soaring in the sky,
The more I feel myself sinking in despair.
At this moment, the wine bottle in front of me seems to be the only salvation.
"Damn...how could there be such a monster..."
Zhu Shen reached out to pick up the wine bottle, only to find that his hand was shaking so much that most of the poured wine spilled out of the glass. During his tenure in the Qinzhuo Department, Zhu Shen's alcohol consumption was one of the few times where his alcohol consumption showed a positive increase, but this was not the case.
I can't stand drinking like this day and night.
Zhu Shen judged that he was seventy percent drunk. In other words, his head was still sober, but his body was no longer able to function effectively. Most of the wine he poured out spilled on the table, but it didn't matter, there was still enough left in the boat.
He has been drinking fine wine for years, and all he has to do is ask the maid to refill it.
"Come here! Serve the wine!"
Zhu Shen shook his wine glass, tilted his head and shouted towards the door of the wing.
In the past, a maid would answer the call and serve wine quickly, but this time there was a strange silence outside the door.
Zhu Shen was slightly confused, but didn't think much about it. He raised the volume of the call and added the dull sound of the wine glass hitting the table. After a long time, there were the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and he saw the squinting clerk holding his hand.
He hurriedly stepped into the side room with a bottle of wine.
Seeing the clerk who came in looking a little pale, Zhu Shen sneered in his heart.
The young civil servant was an official sent by the Sun family to help him, and he was also a genuine Jinbo native. For a long time, the Jinbo people had regarded themselves as an advanced country, and had relegated Liyang to a frontier barbarian. Therefore, they had witnessed the sight of armored chariots speeding around earlier.
It also brought a huge shock to the self-respect of Jinbo people. The gaffe of civil servants also originated from this.
Perhaps aware of the sarcastic look in the inspector's eyes, the clerk quickly corrected his expression and apologized to Zhu Shen while pouring wine. The report said that the crew was preparing to return, and all the manpower had been mobilized to help.
"Huh, when can we set off?"
Zhu Shen's anger calmed down slightly after hearing this. After all, it was him who ordered the return voyage.
"Sir, if Li Yang doesn't come to hinder us, we can set off tomorrow morning,"
"Obstruction? Well, those bastards want me to leave early, so it's strange that they would hinder me!"
Zhu Shen's tongue was probably a little sluggish because he was drunk, but he still drank the wine poured by the official.
"Sir, are we just going to leave like this? Why don't we stay and look for another chance?"
"Stay here and look for a chance? Look for a damn chance!"
The clerk's words touched Zhu Shen's pain. Zhu Shen became so angry that he threw the remaining wine on the clerk's face. "You layman who doesn't know anything, stop chirping at me! I can't afford to offend such a monster.
