"Your Highness, before leaving, Qi Niang specifically reminded me that the prince's kung fu has fallen too much. When you go to Yingzhou, you must urge the prince to practice."
"Yes, Master."
There are only two people who can call Li Chongrun a master. One is the husband of Master Qi Niang. Pei Wulang, who is rushing to Fangzhou in pain, and the other is Uncle Yang San, whom he hired from Lao Chen, a man.
.
"Since you want to teach you for Qi Niang, your highness, don't blame Yang San for being a rough man, and his words will be a little ugly."
The way of Yang San's disciples is simple and crude, but the apprentices he taught are all pretty good. Even those junior brothers like Li San who are much later than him, Li Chongrun felt that they were far ahead of him.
"I hope my master will give you advice!"
"The martial arts path is nothing more than diligence. The prince's chest is so thrust and his belly is so bulging. Not to mention that he can beat Alan, I'm afraid that if he indulges this way, even our Huan'er will not be able to beat him."
Huan'er is eight years old this year, which proves that what Yang San said is indeed very real and really ugly...
In order to make the word diligence, Li Chongrun began a miserable life that was dark and ruthless.
In the physical sense.
The flagship where Li Chongrun is located is Wang Rong's unrecognizable building ship. The origin of this ship is the large ship of the Taihu bandits captured before. Because the superstructure was bombed cleanly, there was no way to use it directly.
, it has been parked in the dock of Naxichang.
Fortunately, the ship craftsman was later repaired. However, with Li Chongrun's fingers and commands, the ship turned into the Garen ship with a protruding front and a long horn.
The face of Garen's ship, plus the belly of a building, looks a bit weird. However, because the tail building and rudder are very high, the view is very good, and the deck on the bottom floor is much larger, Li Chongrun has room to move.
, Li Chongrun chose to be the flagship.
Because he was chosen to be a flagship, he did not bring any heavy weapons such as gunpowder, but he carried a lot of supplies and shells.
Made of cast iron, polished to be extremely smooth, weighing 20 kilograms each.
Li Chongrun's daily physical training is to transport shells from one side to another.
The cabin is a bit low. Li Chongrun has grown taller in the past six months and can no longer stand up. He can only move around with his horse stance.
"Hey, Master, he is crazy."
Enjoying Gongsun Lan's massage treatment, Li Chongrun lay on the bed and complained to her: "Even the donkeys in the production team cannot do this."
"My husband is suffering. He suffers more and suffers less."
Gongsun Lan advised him concisely, and the strength in her hands increased a little more.
Feeling the soreness and swelling feeling of lactic acid being driven out of the muscles, Li Chongrun never stopped complaining: "I originally wanted to see how Li San and his group of junior brothers were doing in line to practice. I opened it every day
I was just tossing and even the main business was delayed."
Gongsun Lan originally wanted to comfort him, but a voice sounded outside the door: "Prince, Dengzhou has arrived."
"So fast?"
Recently, Li Chongrun has been trained all day long and has not had time to deal with other things. In just half a month, he has already gone from Yangzhou to Dengzhou.
After coming out of the office and bedroom at the stern of the boat, Li Chongrun slipped over the bow of the boat. Under the shaking sunset, the three-stage mountain top that looked like a green dragon absorbing water on the top of the mountain came into his eyes.
"This is Dengzhou?"
"Dengzhou Prefecture is a hundred miles west here, but it is already the territory of Dengzhou. Recently, if the prince wants to go to Dengzhou Prefecture, the fleet needs to be changed to the southwest, so it will take a little longer."
"Let's rest here today. I will go directly to Yingzhou early tomorrow morning, and I won't go to Dengzhou for now."
The fleet bypassed the hill, found a sheltered harbor, and laid an anchor.
Apart from the faint ignition of a few ignitions shining on the top of Chengshantou, there was nothing to say overnight.
The next morning, when the salted egg yolk-like sun jumped out of the sea, Li Chongrun came out of the cabin and was sleepyly holding a large tea jar on the deck of the tail building to brush his teeth.
Taking advantage of the hazy morning light, Li Chongrun saw that there seemed to be a vague mound of earth on the top of the mountain, and there was a faint smoke and dust floating on it.
"Prince, a boat is coming. Judging from the banner, it should be the navy of Dengzhou."
The boatman who was driving the boat was a half-big old man, covering his eyes like Rosa, but because he had been running on the boat for a long time, his eyes were still very vicious. He was commanding the sails to lift the sails and saw him coming to the west early.
A small boat.
"Rise the flag and fight out our ceremonial war."
I didn't want to be troubled, but I just felt it was troublesome and didn't want to go to Dengzhou, but Dengzhou came to me. Li Chongrun sighed in his heart.
Seeing Li Chongrun with a banner, the boat did not stop. After a moment, a handsome young official stood in front of Li Chongrun.
The young official is kind-hearted and before he can speak, a feeling of being close to others comes, and he inadvertently wants to get closer.
However, Li Chongrun always felt that this guy looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while.
"Governor Shi Weijun, the governor of Deng, has met the King of Linzi."
When Li Chongrun heard this surname, he remembered why he felt that he was familiar with him.
This young man who became the governor of the governor at a young age looked a bit like himself. Not to mention that he was exactly the same, but he was at least seven or eight percent like him.
"Is Wei Changshi from Duling from Jingzhao?" Li Chongrun asked tentatively.
"The prince is right, the princess Luling is the old aunt of the lower official."
The truth is revealed, no wonder he looks like him. It turns out that he is really a relative and a cousin.
I have a lot of cousins. Li Chongrun sighed silently.
Originally, the chief of a state and the second-person in the prefecture were not so easy to see, but recently, the governor lost a lot of dirty work and tiredness because of the rebellion in the north.
It just so happened that Wei Jun was patrolling the coastal defense in Penglai yesterday. He received the beacon from Chengshantou's sentry tower, and then hurried over to find out. Unexpectedly, his cousin of the prince was out for a walk.
"The prince is a virtuous person, and is truly a model for all people. It is just that the saying goes, a gentleman does not set up a dangerous house, and it is really inappropriate for the prince to take risks."
Knowing that Li Chongrun was about to go to the rebellious Yingzhou to rescue the victims, Wei Jun's first reaction was to object.
In the past few days, many refugees have fled from Yingzhou by boat. Wei Jun also heard a lot of rumors and knew that Yingzhou is now in such a tragic situation.
But if His Majesty's order is not his day, the Dengzhou Navy could not start. Although Wei Junkong had the heart to save the people, he could only look at Bohai in vain and sigh.
When Wei Jun learned that Li Chongrun wanted to rescue the refugees, he couldn't help but admire the courage of his cousin, who was a few years younger than him.
"Cousin Wei Jun, what is going on in this Khitan rebellion?"
Li Chongrun came in a hurry this time. Before leaving, there was no clue from Fengyiwei, so he thought about asking for some information from Wei Changshi.
"Last year, Liaodong was in great cold, and countless cattle and sheep of Khitans were frozen to death. However, in order to whitewash the peace, Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou, did not report the disaster to the court. Naturally, the court did not provide any grain of grain for relief. Not only that, Zhao Wenhui did not distribute any of the little things.
Relief, and plundered the Khitans and the Xi people as horse slaves and sold them to Fanyang and Jinyang. Those foreigners could not bear the humiliation, so they raised their troops to occupy Yingzhou, which was said to have a huge force of tens of thousands."
Lu Jun has always been concerned about the Yingzhou Rebellion. He met many refugees who fled in the past few days, and he actually knew a lot of information.
"Do you know where the rebels are now?"
"The latest news is that after the rebels occupied Yingzhou, they slaughtered all the troops in Yingzhou, and Sumo Muhe surrendered to him. Now they are gathering their troops to attack Tanzhou."
Li Chongrun compared the Yingzhou chaos in his memory and found that he had not gone astray. If he remembered correctly, the Qing border troops of Li Duozuo and others would not be able to repel the Khitan siege of Tanzhou until the end of August.
Before the Khitan army returns, I have two months left.
In two months, I still have to build a camp on the Chrysanthemum Island. The time is tight and the task is heavy. Li Chongrun felt that he didn't even have time to sigh. So he hurriedly served tea and saw the guests off, preparing to set off to Yingzhou immediately.
go.
Before leaving, Wei Jun told Li Chongrun that he needed to report Li Chongrun's whereabouts to His Majesty. Li Chongrun nodded and agreed.
With the nod of local officials, the fleet took the opportunity to replenish a lot of fresh water and firewood and took advantage of the south wind to go to the Chrysanthemum Island.
However, when the fleet arrived at Chrysanthemum Island, Li Chongrun vaguely felt that he had been deceived by the inherent concepts of later generations.
