In the small county of Andong, except for the Huai'an General Mansion, the county government is slightly spacious. However, if the magistrate of Andong, Lin Xianglian, begged, the governor of the canal transportation, Lu Zhenfei, refused to work in his yamen. Instead, he ordered Zheng Biao, the governor of the canal road, to rent two houses in the city, demolished the courtyard wall and temporarily opened it to the Caoyuan station.

All the support required is also to be frugal.

Since Huai'an lost the thief, Lu Zhenfei has never felt safe all day long. Every day, he opens his eyes and makes many troubles.

In order to combat the thief and raise grain, Lu Zhenfei, who was only fifty years old, looked like a 60-year-old man, so that Chen Tingyang, the Imperial College Supervisor who came from Haizhou yesterday, could not recognize him.

The Chen Tingyang family has been engaged in the grain transportation. At that time, Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang wrote a letter to the court to recruit sailors in the Huaian area, believing that the salt vendors and stoves in this area were brave in fighting and were skilled in boats and ships, so they recruited more than 5,000 Huai soldiers at a time. Since then, this Huai soldiers participated in many military operations in Dongjiang.

With the help of these Huai soldiers, Huai merchants led by the Shen family provided a large amount of food to the Dongjiang River. In this process, these Huai merchants mastered the hydrology of the Liaodong sea area.

It was this that Chen Tingyang planned to transport grain and pay sea food and money while the grain transportation was blocked, and he fed the Ming army in Jinzhou, thus building a fleet of more than 100 large boats. Chongzhen praised him as "All officials are like Chen Tingyang, so why is it difficult to cure the world!"

Unfortunately, because the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Songjin, Chen Tingyang's fleet was useless. Now Huai'an City is even occupied by thieves, and his plan to use the fleet to continue shipping food and salary to the capital was also hindered.

In addition to bringing more than a thousand sailors from his troops this time, Chen Tingyang also supported Anton with a batch of food and weapons. Before this, Deputy General Zheng Zhibao's regiment also contributed a lot to recruit young and strong men.

However, Chen Tingyang also brought bad news to Lu Zhenfei, that is, Li Zicheng's army had captured Shanxi, General Zhou Yuji died in battle, General Jiang Guan of Datong, General Jiang Chengyin of Xuanfu, and other generals surrendered to the bandits. The main force of the bandit army has approached Juyongguan, the gateway to the capital.

"I heard that Your Majesty urgently ordered Liu Zeqing to enter the capital to serve the king, but this man openly resisted the order and led his troops south. Wherever he went, the houses were burned out and the people were robbed. He called it "not leaving anything for the thief, such people, alas."

Chen Tingyang didn't know how to say that Liu Zeqing's troops had been blackmailed by Liu's troops in Haizhou. If the Henan Shun Army hadn't suddenly gone south to capture Xuzhou, Liu's troops would have been attracted by their attention, I'm afraid that those things that were worse than bandits would have robbed his fleet.

"The Ministry of the Ministry shouldn't have written a letter to Liu Zeqing to lead him to Huaiyang. This person is simply a mess. I heard from people in Haizhou that Han Ruyu and Ma Jiazhi went out of Beijing to the south. Because Han Ruyu had impeached Liu Zeqing, Liu Zeqing sent troops to kill people on the road. There was no court in this person's eyes, and he was lawless!"

Zheng Zhibao was also very angry with Liu Zeqing.

He recruited young and strong men in Haizhou and was bullied by Liu Zeqing's generals. He either openly took the young and strong men away or robbed his food. If Chen Siye had not helped him with his righteous help, how could his thousands of people be able to pull them out? Maybe they would have dispersed because of the lack of food.

"What's the use of saying this now? If I had soldiers in my hands, why would I attract outsiders?"

Lu Zhenfei sighed lightly, and he was helpless, but even Liu Zeqing would dare to openly disobey the king's orders even if he was unforgivable, at least he would have made contributions to Huaiyang now. Because if Liu Zeqing had not crossed Henan to the south, the Henan Shun Army would have probably fought to Andong long ago.

Chen Tingyang and Zheng Zhibao also knew this truth. Although they knew that Liu Zeqing was unruly and that there was no difference between attracting him to Huaiyang and drinking poison to quench thirst, they now had to point at him.

"The capital is a plague, and the capital camps have no combat power. I heard that the palaces are called to the eunuchs to help guard the city, and the thief army is known to be a million people. The old ministers and courts may have to make the worst plans, if your Majesty..."

Chen Tingyang was not convenient to say something openly, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was impossible for the capital to defend it.

On the way to Andong, Chen Tingyang and Zheng Zhibao had a conversation about the situation after the fall of the capital. The two of them also had the same view that once the capital fell, the Nandu would immediately exercise the responsibility of Liudu, otherwise the enemy would definitely not be able to stop the army going south from going to Shun.

But Chen Tingyang meant that he wanted to ask Lu Zhenfei, the governor of the Cao Cao, whether he would accept His Majesty. The prince went south. If he could, Chen Tingyang originally led the Hai Shi to Tianjin. He did not want the Cao Cao Cao to be silent for a moment, but said: "Your Majesty ordered me to supervise the Cao Cao last year. When I came south, I turned to Fengyang to pay homage to the imperial tomb. Those who hoped to be angry said that there was a pride in the high walls of Fengyang."

Zheng Zhibao looked puzzled, not knowing what the old department hospital meant.

Chen Tingyang was shocked and said in a lost voice: "King of Tang?!"

Lu Zhenfei nodded slowly and said, "The King of Tang likes to study, loves to be a hero, is familiar with allusions, and has the blood of Emperor Taizu Chengzu. If Your Majesty and the Prince of the Crown Prince cannot escape, I think if I can serve the King of Tang to Nandu, there will be hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty."

"this..."

Chen Tingyang was stunned, and was really surprised, but this matter was no longer possible for him, the Imperial College.

Zheng Zhibao understood it now, but he heard that the Tang King was indeed good, like a descendant of Zhu Ming, unlike some vassal kings who feared thieves as rats. If no one in Beijing really wanted to escape, it would be a good choice to establish the Tang King as the emperor, so he secretly thought about telling the eldest brother about this matter. If the old department really wanted to support the Tang King, the eldest brother would have to follow him quickly, otherwise the support would be a good thing.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "If the Ministry has this idea, you must start as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the capital falls and people are in panic, Huai'an is trapped in a thief again. How can the Ministry go to Fengyang to welcome the Tang King?"

Chen Tingyang also asked about the situation in Huai'an.

"How can you suppress the thieves without any effort?"

It's okay not to mention Huai'an, but when it comes to Zhenfei on Huai'an Road, he is angry. The besieged troops at the city were obviously thieves, but they were passive and lazy to fight. However, he, the governor of the Cao River, had to rack his brains to raise food for them.

"Can't delay it anymore. If the capital falls, the thief army's momentum will rise sharply..." Chen Tingyang was just talking, and Zheng Biao, the governor of the grain, broke in in panic and said in surprise: "Ministry and the Ministry, Huai'an urgently reported, Linhuai soldiers bombed the camp!"

"What?"

Lu Zhenfei was stunned. After hearing Zheng Biao talk in detail, he felt a headache in his head. He immediately became angry and screamed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards. Everyone was shocked to see this and hurriedly carried the department yard into the bedroom to rest, and asked him to ask the doctor immediately.

After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Lu Zhenfei woke up slowly and saw Zheng Biao, Zheng Zhibao, and Chen Tingyang all guarding the head of the bed, struggling in great pain to sit up.

Everyone hurriedly dissuaded, and Zheng Biao whispered and comforted: "The body of the department is important. Don't get angry anymore. It's better to take care of yourself first."

"This incident has happened, and it is useless even if the department is urgent." Chen Tingyang also advised.

"Ten thousand soldiers are astigmatized in one day. How can I not be anxious? How can I not be anxious!"

"Then Xu Dasui misled me, misled me!"

Lu Zhenfei was inexplicably sad and angry.

At this time, a mud man slowly emerged from the horizon from the old beach of the Yellow River outside Andong City.

Then, one clay man after another seemed to suddenly emerge from the fog, and although he was slow, he walked towards the old path of the Yellow River with extremely firm steps.

In the blink of an eye, there was a crowd of people.

"arrive!"
