"A navy of a large scale?" Zuo Liangyu frowned when he heard this and asked, "Are you going to the thief? Can you tell me how many warships there are?"

Zuo Menggeng said: "It's not a follower, it's the Ming navy who is holding the Sun, Moon and Dragon Banner.

The first thing we saw was dozens of warships, and one of them was a four hundred-four-studded warship with black smoke. It was unclear whether there were other warships behind it."

Zuo Liangyu stretched his eyebrows and said, "If it were just dozens of warships, there would be no fuss. As for the black smoke coming out of the ship - are there few soldiers in our army who burned fire and cooked on the ship?"

When Zuo Menggeng saw that Zuo Liangyu didn't understand what he meant, he was a little anxious, "I thought so at first, and even scolded the urn who was the one who beat him up.

But according to the general, the black smoke came out from a large chimney on the ship, and its hull was painted black black, and it was reflected under the sun, like it was made of iron...

"Hutu!" Before Zuo Menggeng finished speaking, Zuo Liangyu interrupted him and scolded him, "You believe such a bastard? I have told you a long time ago. You must not believe the following people, and you cannot believe everything,

You have to have your own judgment!

Now that you are like this, how can I feel at ease to hand over my foundation to you? If I die, how can you control these 800,000 yuan?”

At the end, Zuo Liangyu was angry and anxious, so she started coughing violently again.

"Don't be angry, Father."

Zuo Menggeng hurriedly came forward to pat Zuo Liangyu's back and caress his chest, but unfortunately he had no use at all. It was not until Zuo Liangyu coughed up another ball of blood and phlegm that he stopped coughing.

Zuo Liangyu wanted to cry.

What is the use of being named Ning Nanbo? What is the use of supporting 800,000 troops? He still has a terminal illness and will suffer from illness.

Go to fucking!

Zuo Menggeng was only in his early twenties, and most of the time he was still a "child" who was in college. Seeing Zuo Liangyu coughing up blood, he was so anxious that he was about to shed tears.

"Father, don't be angry. My son will hang that hand on the phone right now."

"Hutu!" Zuo Liangyu glared, "What's the use of hitting him? Send a few more mail boats upstream and figure out the situation of this navy!"

"Yes, my son will go now."

When Zuo Menggeng left in a hurry, Zuo Liangyu sent someone to invite He Tengjiao.

In Zuo Liangyu's view, the Ming army navy upstream of Wuchang Prefecture can only be the Hunan official army under He Tengjiao.

But does the Hunan government army have a navy with dozens of warships?

It should be noted that although Zuo Liangyu was riding on the Yangtze River in Wuchang Prefecture, there were only more than 300 naval warships under his command, and the rest were civilian ships.

Therefore, although Zuo Liangyu told Zuo Menggeng that dozens of warships were nothing, he still attached great importance to this official navy.

When He Tengjiao arrived, Zuo Liangyu asked directly: "Sir He, you quietly set up a navy with dozens of warships, and it is different from me saying it. What does it mean?"

He Tengjiao was confused when he heard this, "What navy of dozens of warships?"

Zuo Liangyu was puzzled, "Does there be a navy under the commander?"

He Tengjiao said: "How can there be no navy in Hunan? However, the warships of the government navy have long disappeared. Now there are only hundreds of civilian ships in Yuezhou Prefecture to transport grain and troops."

"Is there really no warship?" Zuo Liangyu asked again with a frown.

"No." He Tengjiao shook his head, "Even if there are, there are not many dozens of ships."

Zuo Liangyu said: "My whistleboat found a naval army upstream, not only dozens of warships, but also carrying the Sun, Moon and Dragon Flag."

When he said this, Zuo Liangyu paid attention to He Tengjiao's expression.

He Tengjiao showed a look of surprise when he heard this. Then he thought of some extremely unreliable rumors coming from Sichuan and Guizhou. He couldn't help but say in his heart: Could it be that the navy of the princess of the regent have left Sichuan?

Zuo Liangyu is going to Nanjing to clear the side of the lord.

The princess from Sichuan's governor also came to join in the fun.

The situation is really messy at this time.

"What did Master He think of?" Zuo Liangyu asked.

He Tengjiao shook his head, "I really don't know where this navy came from."

When the news about the princess's reign reached Hunan, it became unclear and the divine way was unreliable.

When the news reaches Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang Prefecture, it will be even more impressive. I guess no one below will report it to Zuo Liangyu.

After all, now that all parties are separating, soldiers and bandits are rising, and the Yangtze River waterway is broken, it is not uncommon even if the news from Sichuan has not been spread to Wuchang.

Since He Tengjiao knew that Zuo Liangyu was ambitious to clear the emperor, of course it was impossible to reveal the news that the princess was in Sichuan's state supervision, otherwise he would not know what kind of thoughts Zuo Liangyu would have.

Seeing that He Tengjiao was unwilling to say anything, Zuo Liangyu did not force him to ask, and asked him to put him under house arrest.

He believed that his mail ship would bring back more news.

···

Two days later.

The sentry fleet lived up to expectations and indeed brought back more news about the navy, which shocked Zuo Liangyu.

"What did you say? All dozens of sailboats sent were gone?!"

Because Zuo Liangyu was seriously ill and did not want the generals outside to see his weak appearance, it was Zuo Menggeng who reported it to him.

Zuo Menggeng said angrily: "According to Wu Guerrilla, the official navy did have an iron ship, like a monster, which could spray black smoke and move against the wind, and was extremely fast, so they couldn't even run away.

Later, I entered a small river and escaped several ships and brought the news back."

Speaking of this, Zuo Menggeng paused and said, "Father, shouldn't Wu Guerrilla have lie to his son this time?"

Zuo Liangyu frowned and said, "For such a big thing, he shouldn't have the courage to lie to you. But what is the origin of this official navy? And the iron ship spraying black smoke is real?

”

Zuo Menggeng suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Wu Guerrilla said that he later took the risk of spying on the hidden area on the river bank to see the later fleet, and found that one of the big ships was wearing the vertical captain of the 'Da Ming Jianguo'.

Big banner.

Father, I remember I heard someone some time ago that there was a princess in Sichuan. Could this be true? Could this navy be hers?”

"How is that possible?" Zuo Liangyu subconsciously denied, "The princess is nonsense. Even if it is true, how could she lead the navy from Sichuan to Wuchang Prefecture?"

As soon as Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, the shouts of personal soldiers came from outside the house.

"Qi reported to the Marquis, General Xu of the Navy has an emergency military report!"

There are three naval generals under Zuo Liangyu, two of whom are his direct line and one is an affiliated general.

The two direct people are called Chang Deng and Xu Ensheng. They now lead more than 100 warships and several civilian ships, in charge of the east and west sections of the Yangtze River in Wuchang Prefecture.

As for the navy general who was attached to him, he was named Xu Yuxian. He had few naval warships and was currently staying in Jiangxia. He was mainly responsible for transporting food, pay, military supplies and other supplies. It is impossible for him to have an emergency military report.

Therefore, General Xu, who was mentioned by his personal soldiers, could only be Xu Ensheng, who was stationed in Jinkou Town.

The official navy happened to appear upstream, so the emergency military situation that Xu Ensheng mentioned was mostly related to this official navy.

So Zuo Liangyu didn't care whether she was sick or not to be seen by her subordinates, so she immediately let Xu Ensheng come in.

Xu Ensheng is a middle-aged general with an ordinary appearance. He was originally full of strange and complicated expressions such as worry, but when he saw Zuo Liangyu, who was sick, he was stunned.

Obviously, although Xu Ensheng knew that Zuo Liangyu was sick, he did not expect that he was so ill.

After holding his fists, Xu Ensheng said directly: "Marty, the official navy from the upstream has arrived in Jinkou Town. There are only a thousand ships of various types, hundreds of warships, and even smoke.

Strange iron ship.

They claimed to be the Yangtze River Navy under the command of the Ming Dynasty, so they did not attack the water camp in Jinkou Town, but sent someone to send a letter to the Marquis quickly."

As he said that, Xu Ensheng took out a letter.

Zuo Menggeng took the letter and handed it to Zuo Liangyu.

When Zuo Liangyu saw that the letter was signed by Zeng Ying, the Admiral of the Yangtze River Navy of the Ming Dynasty.

He had never heard of this person, so he didn't think much about it and opened the letter to read it.

There is not much content on the letter, and Zuo Liangyu finished reading it soon.

Then he laughed angrily-

"Zeng Ying, an unknown person, actually asked me to come to his navy to meet the princess in the regent within three days, otherwise I would pursue my past mistakes and bring me to justice.

Haha, don’t he and the princess in charge know that I, Zuo Liangyu, have an army of 800,000 now?
