Chapter 23 Water Escape! Ruan Dacheng.

 Two military ships and shuttles arrived in front of Fengshan Shui Gate.

Flags were hung on the boat, with the words "Zhennan" written on it.

A young officer stood at the bow of the boat and shouted loudly: "I am Shi Lang, the left vanguard under General Zhennan. Under the orders of Lord Lu Zhenfei, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and General Zhennan, enter the city to present urgent documents!"

After saying that, Shi Lang raised the token of the royal palace awarded to him by Lu Zhenfei.

At this time, a bamboo basket was hung on the city wall above the water gate, and Shi Lang put the token into the bamboo basket, waiting for the inspection of the defenders on the city.

Soon, the waterway gate opened, and two wardrobes sailed in and moored on the shore.

As soon as Shi Lang got ashore, he saw a rosy official standing on the shore and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"I met Shi Lang until the end!"

"You said that you were ordered by the Minister Lu, who has been in the water camp outside the city?"

When Zhu Dadian heard that it was sent by Lu Zhenfei, he couldn't help but think of the left minister of the Ministry of War under his command. He had never seen him since Lu Zhenfei took office. If he hadn't heard it tonight, he would have forgotten that there was a left minister of the Ministry of War.

"Sir, Mr. Lu and General Zheng have been purging the Zhenjiang Navy and planning the river defense affairs." The minister replied respectfully. He heard his old boss Zheng Zhilong, the Fujian General Town, talk about it. These senior officials of the Ming Dynasty were all wearing red robes, so they must be polite when they see it.

"So that's it. OK. Aren't you giving me an urgent item? Go quickly!" Zhu Dadian nodded and said with his beard twisted.

Shi Lang bent over and bowed, and when he got up, he glanced at the personal soldiers behind Zhu Dadian, and his eyes twitched slightly, then turned around and walked away.

A subordinate of Shi Lang walked to him and said with his ears: "Pioneer, I didn't see the person we were going to pick up."

"It's the personal soldier of that high-ranking official. Don't be anxious, send me urgent documents first." Shi Lang whispered.

Niu San noticed Shi Lang and others who were talking to each other in the distance. He smiled disdainfully, bit the straw in his hand in his mouth, and winked at the surrounding subordinates, and walked towards Zhu Dadian who was standing by the river pretending to behave.

The sluice gate was closed again, and Minzhuang, who had taken the opportunity to rest for a while, began to get up one after another and then strengthened the bottom walls and iron gates on both sides of the water gate.

The soldiers of the guards began to shout and urged Minzhuang, who was still unable to get up on the ground, to work quickly.

Niu San walked to Zhu Dadian, looked around, pretending to urge the several civilians by the river, but in fact he took the opportunity to walk past the personal soldiers and whispered: "Look for the plane to get on the boat."

The personal soldiers were startled at first, then looked at the two wardrobes that were docking, and began to observe around, preparing to find a suitable time to sneak onto the boat.

On the other side, Shi Lang was about to present Lu Zhenfei to Lu Wang Mansion in person, but he suddenly saw a group of soldiers on the other side of the river. They were all brightly armored and majestic. They looked like they were not ordinary Ming soldiers. They were guarding a handsome man riding on a horse and walking along the other side of the river towards Fengshan Gate.

Zhu Dadian also saw it and was shocked, not understanding why King Lu came at this time.

Niu San narrowed his eyes, looked at the personal soldier who was drilling into the wardrobe, and said to his confidant brothers beside him: "Our work is done, please don't show off your face, there is a big shot."

The confidant nodded and went to pass the message one by one.

Zhu Changqing rode on the horse, looked at the busy Fengshan Gate, and asked Li Bao: "Is there any news about Lu Zhenfei recently?"

"It's not true when I return to the regent, but I heard that Lord Lu has always lived in the military camp of Fenghuang Mountain." Li Bao thought for a while and replied.

Zhu Changqing had just finished patrolling the Southwest New Army camp, so he took the lead to the city gate for a walk.

Suddenly, Zhu Dadian's call came from the other side: "My minister Zhu Dadian pays homage to the governor!"

When Zhu Changqing saw Zhu Dadian here, he thought he was worried about the war and came to inspect the city defense. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He whispered through the river: "Let's just calm down, Zhu Shangshu is really attentive."

When Zhu Dadian heard this, he couldn't help but sweat. Fortunately, it was across the river, otherwise he would have asked King Lu to see something strange.

At this time, Shi Lang was also rising behind Zhu Dadian. When he heard that the Lu Wang Jianguo was opposite, he was happy and hurried to the shore. He said with a loud voice: "Report to the Supervisor, Mr. Lu has an urgent death to submit it!"

When Zhu Changqing saw that everything was normal, he was about to turn around, but was stopped by Shi Lang.

It was too dark and I couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, so I took a look at Li Bao.

"Cross the river quickly and submit it!" Li Bao shouted with a sharp voice.

Zhu Changqing pulled his horse and waited for Shi Lang to detour across the bridge.

But I didn't expect that with just a "puzzle", I saw the other party jumping into the river and swimming in.

Very watery! The river here is more than ten feet wide, but it is still at night, and the First Emperor can't help but secretly admire it.

Zhu Dadian was even more stunned. Looking at Shi Lang flapping in the water, he thought to himself that this person is not simple, and this move will definitely leave a deep impression on King Lu.

Soon, Shi Lang, covered in water, knelt in front of Zhu Changqing, took off the waterproof letter bag made of cowhide from his back, and presented the wax sealed letter with both hands.

Li Bao stepped forward to take it and submitted it to Zhu Changqing.

"Raise your head." Zhu Changqing rode on the horse, staring at Shi Lang who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly.

The cold voice reveals pressure.

The simple four words calmed Shi Lang's passionate heart in an instant.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the Lu King in front of him with a flash of eyes.

"May I have your name?"

"The last general Shi Lang is a subordinate of Nan'anbo. After hearing that the Qing army went south, he specially asked to lead the army to aid! Now the Lu Shilang's tent obeys the order."

Shi Lang hurriedly introduced himself and became secretly excited. As long as King Lu could remember his name today, it would not be a waste of time to get into the water in the middle of the night.

After hearing this, Zhu Changqing was stunned at first. Who is Nan Anbo, so he looked at Li Bao with inquiring eyes.

Li Bao hurried to the front of the horse and whispered: "The State of Responsibility, Nan'anbo is Zheng Zhilong. It turned out that the Nanjing court was granted the title of Fujian. "

Zhu Changqing nodded, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui, it seems that the Zheng family is quite powerful.

Li Bao, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The Zheng family is in Fujian...it is very powerful!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Zhu Changqing had an enlightenment in his heart. No wonder Zheng Hongkui dared to wait for a price. It turned out that there was a huge family force behind it.

Looking at the seven-foot man in front of him with dark skin and purple cheeks, Zhu Changqing knew that this man must have wanted to do something, so he said, "Shi Lang, do you think if the Qing army attacked from the river, with the strength of the Zhenjiang Navy, can he be repelled?"

Shi Lang knew that this was taking the exam, so he thoughtfully decided and replied firmly: "Sinjiang Navy lost many artillery since its defeat, and there were less than five lucky ships. However, they will bring 30 various warships from Fujian. To integrate them, and then ask the supervisor to allocate some thousand-pound Folang machine cannons to supplement them. The general is willing to issue a military order, so that the enemy navy will not enter Hangzhou Bay one step!"

When Zhu Changqing saw that he was talking about military affairs, Shi Lang's eyes were filled with enthusiasm and his whole body exuded unparalleled confidence.

Of course, if he didn't mention any conditions and just patted his chest and promised that Zhu Changqing would only think that this was another "five years of pacifying Liao".

The First Emperor did not need to win quickly. In military affairs, what he needed most was a minister who told the truth. Once he was mixed with other emotional thoughts, how could he make a correct judgment?

The more you expect, the greater the disappointment.

"Shi Lang, follow me to return to the house!" Zhu Changqing said lightly, then turned his horse's head and prepared to return.

Shi Lang was overjoyed. He ignored the cold and dragged his watery robe to follow Zhu Changqing's horse.

Zhu Changqing, who was riding on the horse, turned his head and saw the mail ship coming to deliver the letter from the river. He was about to sail out of the water gate.

Zhu Dadian shouted loudly on the other side of the river: "Roll up your sleeves and work hard! If you do it well, you will be rewarded for money!"

The wardrobe sailed out of the water gate and headed towards the Qiantang River. On the boat, the personal soldier came out and took off his military uniform with all his fingers and threw it into the water with great disgust.

The two Ming army sailors on the ship stared at him coldly.

"What are you looking at! Sketch quickly!"

Ruan Dacheng rolled his eyes and cursed.
