445 The governor returns to the city

The eldest princess of Xuan'an is now living in the mansion of the governor of Jiangdu?

A Dian whispered again: "During the Chinese New Year, I had dumplings with Uncle Chang..."

Chang Suining was even more surprised - the eldest princess actually left Xuanzhou and stayed in Jiangdu to celebrate the New Year with Lao Chang?

"Uncle Chang won't let me talk outside..."

As soon as he got off the boat, Wu Jue, who was wearing a gray Taoist robe, smelled the scent of Bagua and quickly followed. As soon as he stretched his head over, he heard A Dian say such an attractive word.

Wujue grabbed A Dian, with a loving smile on his face: "Look at our A Dian, we haven't seen each other in a few months, and we have grown taller again!"

A Dian has never been able to resist such compliments. Hearing this, he smiled brightly: "Of course, I eat a lot of food every day!"

Wujue nodded happily and spoke of his longing for A Dian: "...I bought a lot of the dried fish from the Japanese island and the tangerines from Tamluo at first and planned to bring them back!"

A Dian's eyes lit up: "Where is it?"

Wu Jue smiled in surprise and patted his belly: "...I stayed in Dongluo for too long, and those things couldn't fit in. They were about to break, so they had to put them into my belly first... But in my heart,

There’s something to it!”

Although A Dian was a little disappointed when he heard this, he was not angry at all. Instead, he nodded quickly: "You are not in good health now, so you should eat more!"

He then said generously: "I'm not short of delicious food in Jiang. Uncle Meng bought me a lot of snacks yesterday. I hid them before I came here. Let's eat them together when we return to the city!"

Facing such a sincere and soft heart, he was deeply moved and felt that he was nothing, but this did not delay him. He took the opportunity to ask A Dian: "Don't be in a hurry to eat. Come, tell me about your Uncle Chang first."

…”

"Uncle Chang can now walk on crutches, and his voice has become louder, especially when he curses!"

After saying this, A Dian broke away from Wu Jue's entanglement and quickly chased after Chang Sui Ning.

Wujue sighed - that's not what he wanted to hear!

Wu Jue gave up and wanted to catch up, but was jostled by the excited soldiers and almost fell down. Fortunately, Yuan Xiang had quick eyesight and quick hands, and held Wu Jue back: "Master, please slow down!"

Not only did Yuan Xiang hold the person, he also had no intention of letting go for a moment, and patiently helped Wu Jue move forward - others didn't know who this disgusting Master Xuanyangzi was, how could he not know?

?Since he is one of Mrs. Chang’s fathers, even if he is sometimes a little annoying, he still has to respect him for the sake of his own chief governor.

Chang Sui Ning was walking in front, and as he moved forward, more and more subordinates came to meet him.

Fang Chao and others are also waiting here, and are currently saluting Chang Sui Ning: "My lord is finally back!"

Chang Suining looked at Fang Chao and nodded with a smile: "Coach Fang looks much burlier."

He is a great instructor and maintains such a tall and strong figure, which shows that even after the news of the great victory at sea came back, he never slacked off in training.

In addition to the navy that Chang Suining took away, not including the 30,000 reinforcements from the imperial court, there were still more than 40,000 troops in the Jiangdu military camp, plus the Xu rebels who had been reorganized in Jiangdu and the soldiers who had fallen into Xu Zhengye's hands.

The imperial court captured soldiers, etc., totaling nearly 90,000 people. These days, they have all been within the training range of Fang Chao and others.

"Since your Majesty left for more than half a year, we have never been slack for even half a day. There are 90,000 soldiers in this camp, waiting for your Majesty's review at any time!" Fang Chao's voice was loud and his eyes were bright.

Chang Suining nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, don't worry."

She looked at the leaders behind Fang Chao, as well as the soldiers who were either waiting in front or responsible for maintaining order.

Whether a soldier's aura is full or not, you can tell at a glance just by looking at it.

Accompanied by Fang Chao and others, Chang Suining walked forward in a good mood, looking past the strong soldiers and towards the fishermen and common people on both sides.

They shouted "Chang Jishi" in their mouths, their voices were mixed together, the noise was high, and their eyes were full of excitement and gratitude.

When Chang Sui Ning looked at them, the people who were closer almost muted their voices unconsciously.

When he saw clearly the aura and face of the young governor in green robes who was approaching, a young fisherman at the front suddenly froze.

He looked at the girl almost without blinking.

The girl was wearing a green robe, and her face was like the finest pearl on the sea he had ever seen. She had a sharp and sassy aura around her, and there was a faint and warm smile between her brows that were originally cold.

She told them in a bright and clear voice: "In the past two years, Jiangdu has been trampled by rebels and then coveted by Japanese pirates, causing everyone to be frightened and suffering. Now the civil strife in Jiangdu is calm, and the sea has calmed down. When the sea opens next month,

When the time comes, I believe you will be able to fill the cabin with fish and shrimps and return home with a full load!"

When the girl finished speaking, the smile on her face was as bright as the fine weather at the moment.

Her words were simple in wording, but they were what the fishermen wanted to hear most. Some of them couldn't help but get red-eyed. Some older fishermen knelt down and thanked her, and their words were even more simple: "All of this is your kindness, sir!"

"It is Jiangdu's blessing to have the governor protect you!"

Chang Suining had already left, but the fishermen were still kowtowing their thanks behind her. Only the young fisherman stood still.

Seeing that he was really conspicuous, the companion next to him raised his hand and pulled him: "...yellow croaker! What are you doing standing there in such a daze!"

The young man named Huang Yu came back to his senses, looked around, and quickly knelt down. His eyes were still following the back of the leaving girl, and he couldn't help but murmured in confusion: "Why does it look so similar..."

Is it possible that you really got pregnant?"

He had met the late prince when he was young. Although his memory was a little blurry, he looked and felt like...especially the aura, which was exactly the same.

Could it be because they were all at the beach, they both won battles, they were all the same young, and they were both very good-looking... so he got confused?

Huang Yu was in a trance, and was pulled up by his companions: "The governor has gone far away. He doesn't kneel when he should kneel, and he doesn't get up when he should get up...Yellow fish, what are you thinking about?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The yellow croaker still looked dazed, and was inexplicably stuck in the unreality for a moment. He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the sea. It was noon, and the sea water was reflected by the sunlight, and the floating waves were a bit dazzling.

.

In the noise, someone shouted loudly: "The governor has said it himself, we can open the sea as usual next month, go home and mend the nets!"

"Third Master, please come to my boat to help me this time. I will give you this number!"

An old man smiled and waved his hand: "I haven't gone to sea for many years..."

Listening to these messy sounds, Huang Yu continued to stare at the sea. In a daze, he seemed to hear his father's voice again——

My father has always wanted to venture further out to sea, but the older generation disapproved of it, saying that it was too dangerous and no one had ever been there. It was good to just guard the sea in front of him and make ends meet.

When he was young, he also thought about following his father's last wish, but Japanese pirates were rampant, and there were many pirates of unknown origin who wreaked havoc and plundered...

But this time it seems different!

They heard that Chang Jishi was in the Japanese country and made the Japanese country make a commitment to eliminate and control the Japanese pirates. And their Jiangdu Navy was so brave that they had such a reputation at sea this time...

Tamna Island and Dongluo will also continue to maintain friendly exchanges with Tai Seng.

Yellow Fish's heart gradually became agitated, and he turned around and asked his companion: "Da Ke, tell me, what is the world outside Huang Shuiyang and Donghe? What novel things are there?"

Seeing his expression, his companions couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Do you want to go to the sea?"

The yellow fish nodded like a demon.

"That requires a big boat!" His companions laughed at his whim: "Our broken fishing boat can't go there!"

"Big ship..." Yellow Fish's eyes moved, and he suddenly asked: "Can't big ships be built in the governor's shipyard?"

"That's a warship used to fight Japanese pirates!"

Yellow Fish: "But the Japanese pirates have been defeated! Why are you still recruiting workers? I heard that shipbuilding will be stepped up?"

When the companion heard this, he was also stunned.

"I know!" Yellow Fish's eyes were shining and he was extremely excited, so he spoke incoherently: "The governor must have wanted to take the opportunity to open up more sea routes by displaying such a majestic power on the sea! That's why the shipyard is here! It's not just for war.

ship!"

The companion said: "...that is also for those big businessmen, and we don't have the money to buy a big ship to go to sea to do business..."

"Even if we can't afford it, we can still go and gain experience!" Huang Yu said: "Didn't many of those maritime merchants start out by going to sea and start from scratch step by step?"

His companion just laughed at him: "It's broad daylight, what are you dreaming about getting rich? You'd better go home and mend the net!"

With that said, he waved his hands and left.

But Yellow Fish was still immersed in this "sweet dream". He seemed to have seen the new and mysterious things rumored overseas before his eyes, and he was simply dazzled for a moment.

While he was still dreaming, some people were already getting rich——

A man wearing a shabby long gown held up a hand that had been scrawled by a painter: "...portraits of Chang Jishi cost ten cents each! To ward off evil spirits and drive away evil, it is a must-have when you are on board a ship!"

"Give me one!"

"Draw one for me quickly!"

Yellow Fish also rushed into the crowd: "Give me one... no, I want two!"

One is hanging on the boat, and the other is hanging next to the portrait of the late prince!

Chang Suining led 30,000 naval troops back to the army. After settling down the army, it was getting late.

It was only a day's journey back to Jiangdu city from the army, so Lu Xiucai suggested that Chang Sui rather rest in the army for one night and start back to the city early tomorrow morning.

During these days, Lu Xiucai has been staying in the military camp to take care of affairs, and Wang Changshi has assigned a few more scribes to assist. Chang Kuo usually decides on big and small decisions in the army after reviewing them. They are only responsible for the handover and implementation, and divide the work on weekdays.

Clear and everything is in order.

Fang Chao also wanted Chang Suining to leave tomorrow morning, so that he could see the results of his military training tomorrow morning.

He now looked like a man who had developed muscles all over his body and couldn't wait to take off his clothes and show them off.

Chang Suining invisibly held down his undressed hand and said with a smile: "No rush, let's settle the soldiers I brought back first and let them take a break. In a few days, I will come to the army to celebrate, and every day after that

I will come to the army every ten days, so there are plenty of opportunities."

Fang Chao could only nod: "Okay! It all depends on your arrangements!"

So, as soon as Chang Sui Ning led the people out of the military camp, Fang Chao summoned his instructors and solemnly said: "Listen up, sir, you will come to the camp to celebrate in a few days, and we will just perform a performance by then."

Congratulations, please practice hard these days!"

All the teachers should speak loudly and pay great attention to everyone.

The news spread in the camp. During the night, some soldiers tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. They simply got up secretly and went to the martial arts field.

I think at the beginning, they all followed the governor to defeat Xu Zhengye and then return to Jiangdu. But when it came time to train naval officers, the governor divided them into two, with a smaller half practicing naval affairs and a larger half remaining.

On land——

As a result, the anti-Japanese war was completed by the small half of the people. Those people followed the governor through life and death, made contributions and became famous, and suddenly became the most majestic navy on the Yellow River...

Facing those navy brothers, their admiration was true, but the pink eye also broke out completely.

In contrast, they stayed in this military camp, eating, sleeping and practicing every day, and only occasionally patrolling in groups... Now that the governor is finally back, they must conduct military exercises in a few days, and they must not let you think that they are

Freeloaders!

With this determination, several soldiers came to the martial arts field together, but saw that there were many people here...

Some people were running at night carrying sandbags, some were practicing archery under torches, and some were fighting with spears.

But when I took a closer look, I saw that those people were all without copper plates hanging on their bodies - in short, most of them were former prisoners of Jiangdu and newly recruited people.

These newcomers stayed up late at night and practiced crazily here, maybe they didn't want to shake their status!

Hateful, hateful, terrible!

As the spirit of competition in the martial arts arena spreads, Chang Sui Ning and his entourage of thousands of riders were rushing back to Jiangdu City under the moonlight.

Among these thousand people, most were Chang Suining's soldiers and generals who had made outstanding achievements in the war against Japan.

Chang Sui Ning, who had been sleeping on the boat for several days, was eager to return home.

The last time she returned to Jiangdu was on July 7 last year. It had been nearly eight months since she hung the plaque for Wueryuan.

She couldn't wait to see what Jiangdu City looked like now.

When the sky first dawned the next day, the outline of Jiangdu City's reinforced city wall appeared faintly in front of them.

The city gate has only just opened, but there is already a lively scene of people and merchants coming and going.

The loud sound of horse hooves alarmed the people and attracted the attention of the city gate guards.

After all, it was a year of war. Although Jiangdu was safe, it was not peaceful at all outside. Although the guards felt that under the layers of defense, it was impossible for the enemy to attack Jiangdu silently, they still subconsciously put themselves on guard and urged the people to enter the city.

At this time, a leading cavalryman was approaching on horseback——

The cavalryman waved a handsome flag with a Chang character in one hand and shouted: "The governor returns to the city!"

"The Governor returns to the city!"

The cavalryman shouted several times, which was clearly heard by everyone.

The city gate guard finally came to his senses and said excitedly: "The Governor...it's the Governor who is back! Hurry! Hurry and greet us!"

The atmosphere among the people also became boiling.

I really didn’t expect that the early bird would not only catch the worm, but also see such a freshly baked product... no, the Governor who had just returned to the city!

Ordinary people have no way of knowing the military situation, and they don't know when their governor will come back. They can only look forward to it day by day... God knows how long they have been looking forward to it!
