Stepping into this city brought Sun Qian a whole new feeling.
The city is not grand, but it is well-organized. Everyone she sees has a satisfied smile on their face. There are many people, and it is very strange, but Sun Qian does not feel out of place. The blond and blue-eyed people here
, there were more people with protruding noses and deep eyes than she had seen in the capital. Back then, in a certain yamen in the capital, he had been shocked to see officials with lustful eyes wearing official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty. But in Tamsui, the streets were full of people.
They were all seductive people or Westerners wearing Ming Dynasty official clothes, but no one had any strange reaction.
This was a city created by her husband! Thinking of this, she was slightly proud! Then she stood on the land she had just come into contact with and looked at her husband who was coming towards her with a smile.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Inspector Liu. Bi Bie was deceived by his polite appearance. When he was in the northwest, he was a master who killed three people in and three out of the Tatar army!"
"Inspector Liu, hello! My husband is here, and Inspector Liu has been working hard!"
"Mrs. Qian is so polite!" Liu Qingqing couldn't stand her reasoning. Among other things, Sun Qian's imperial decree was also at the seventh level. He, a ninth-grade inspector, was really not qualified to show off in front of a imperial wife.
"My job as a lower official is to help Mr. Qian handle some trivial matters. How can I say that I put in my best effort!"
"Okay, Yun Niang is waiting for you at home, Liu Xingjian, I won't delay your business anymore, go and do your work!" Qian Wubing happily watched the two of them finish their greetings, and handed Liu over.
Qingqing pushed her away, "Just walk home like this and take a look at the scenery on the road?"
"Okay!" Sun Qian nodded: "I've had enough rest on the boat along the way, I might as well take a walk!"
Gently holding Sun Qian's hand, the two of them seemed to have returned to the days when they were wandering on the streets of Nanjing. Qian Wubing pointed out the buildings on the roadside to Sun Qian along the way, and at the same time told the origins and allusions of these buildings.
Tao Lai.
Behind them, Su Su and Wang Yanyan were following behind like two little doormats. Su Su was better, although she didn't speak, she raised her head and looked around curiously, seeing all the new things that she couldn't see.
However, Wang Yanyan was a little dissatisfied. This was Qian Wubing's home base. One can imagine how uncomfortable she felt as an outsider here.
It will not take long to get from the dock to the Xuanweishi Si Yamen. Even in the past six months or so, the city defenses have been reinforced. Residents and shops near the sea have moved to the island as much as possible. However, if they really want to leave,
It only took more than half an hour to arrive. No matter how fast Tamsui City is built, some things cannot be built overnight. The core area is only that big.
When he saw Xuanwei Si Yamen from a distance, Qian Wubing was pointing at the house over there, smiling and saying something, and then he heard a sound like muffled thunder rumbling in the distance.
At first, there were only three or two sounds, but after a while, the sounds became one. At the same time, the crowd in the city began to show signs of commotion.
"Wu Bing, is something wrong?" Sun Qian saw Qian Wu Bing's face changing slightly and asked with concern.
"Nothing!" Qian Wubing smiled: "If something happens, someone should come and report it. Even if I am not in the city, all the yamen in the city are performing their duties, and nothing will go wrong. You can rest assured.
!”
Mr. Qian had forgotten that sometimes, if something really bad were to happen, it would never be based on a person's will. He didn't even remember that there was a saying, a word becomes a prophecy.
At the corner, there was a wave of figures, and several soldiers serving in the Imperial Guard were running towards this side. Seeing Qian Wubing from a distance, these people put more effort on their feet, and there was a look of anxiety on their faces.
.
"Report~"
"The notification is here!" Sun Qian smiled slightly: "Just go and do your business. I will go home by myself. Just let a few people lead the way!"
"It's okay, Yun Niang has been waiting for you, um, and Si Niang!" Qian Wubing nodded, with a slight apology in his eyes: "If it's not a big deal, I'll be back right away, Su Su, you follow Madam
, I don’t need you to serve me anymore!”
Seeing the women walking towards the Yamen in the distance, Qian Wubing turned his head and asked solemnly: "What happened?"
"We discovered the Xiyi fleet at sea. Our gunboats fired warning shots. Sir Qianhu, please go to Qianhu's post immediately and take command!"
The Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei Overseas Thousand Households Office in Tamsui City is already filled with a chilling atmosphere at this moment. There is only one official Qianhu here, and that is Olivia. However, the Jinyiwei Qianhu station who is stationed in Tamsui is...
There was also Yan Qi. At this moment, Olivia and Yan Qi both had tense faces and were sitting in front of the hall, whispering something. When Qian Wubing strode in, the two of them immediately stood up.
"What are you doing here!" Qian Wubing frowned slightly, "Go to the city!"
On the top of the city, you can have an unobstructed view of the sea. It is better than sitting here and listening to the information reported by your subordinates. Qian Wubing's decree, two thousand households, naturally obeyed Qian Wubing's decree and followed Qian Wubing.
Without thinking, he headed towards the city.
Standing on the top of the city, Qian Wubing looked around. He didn't see the densely packed battleships pressing down on the city in his imagination. This made the expression on his face soften slightly. However, if he opened his eyes and looked around,
On the sea outside, apart from our own ships, not even a single enemy ship could be seen.
He looked back at Yan Qi, who understood and immediately came over: "Half an hour ago, the ships that changed defenses came back from the east and found that the Xiyi fleet was spying. Our ships immediately opened fire, but
It's strange that the Xiyi didn't look like they were trying to attack us. As soon as we spotted them, they immediately turned around and fled. They were no longer visible in sight. Our ship had already expanded the warning range by five miles.
The sentry ship was also released!"
"How many enemy ships are there?" Qian Wubing thought for a while and asked.
"I'm not sure about this. I'll call Luca Baihu over immediately. His people are patrolling today!"
Qian Wubing glanced in the distance: "Didn't you see his ship?"
Luka was commanding the soldiers to carry goods to the Inspection Department. When Qian Wubing called him, he immediately dropped what he was doing and headed this way. An enemy ship was attacking. The people on the dock
All goods and goods must be evacuated. This kind of thing will not be forgotten by any sober commander. Regarding the drill of this situation, Jinyiweiyan Yamen and the Inspection Department Yamen have practiced it more than once. At this moment, when they suddenly encountered a warning signal, they were busy.
