Behind the lame Taoist priest's boat, followed by three big boats, it turned out that these three big boats were chasing this small boat, and the lame Taoist priest recognized that this was the boat of the gangster Sumen Sanshao who had been a headache on the Yangtze River, and this Sumen Sanshao had been a bandit on the river for a long time, robbing passing ships, and sometimes doing some bodyguards to protect the navigation, which was also good and evil.

Hey, I said Sumen Sanshao, there is nothing on my boat except for me, a poor Taoist, to make you look at it, you have chased me for seventy miles of waterway, what do you want to do.

A loud voice came like a bell: "Dao Chief, since I chased you, I didn't fail to catch up with you, why did you run?"

"If you chase me, I don't have to run, I'm running around."

A woman-like voice sounded: "No, Dao Chief, you helped King Dashun bring the goods, why don't you show me the things you brought." ”

"What can I bring for King Dashun, don't talk nonsense, I only have a few books here, and King Dashun asked him to take them out for people to see, so that others can know what he is thinking, and don't misunderstand him in future history."

An eagle-like voice rattled and laughed: "Everyone doesn't know how many days they can live, and they don't care about the future history, this king is roundabout enough"

Baoyu and King Ding hid in the cabin, looking out of the curtain, and Baoyu observed carefully in the cabin, and said to King Ding: Brother Qin Zhong, the people on this ship are not bad people.

Qin Zhong wondered: How do you know.

There was artillery on this ship, but it never fired at us. At least he has no ill will towards us.

Hey, "Sumen Sanshao, you speak alone, don't make so many sounds, okay, my old Taoist priest is most afraid of noisy"

The female voice came: "I can't hide anything from you, stinky Taoist, I chase you to hand over a person to you, this person is asked by Zheng Hongkui, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, I sent it to Zhenjiang, this general soldier's mansion has been destroyed, and the general soldier has also escaped, I don't know where to send it." This prince is so poor that I can't kill it, and I will waste my food if I keep it, so I can send it to you in a small boat. ”

Here Jia Zhu was busy letting his boat pick up, he was afraid of hurting Daiyu, so he asked Daiyu to stay in the cabin.

The big boat stopped there, and after a while a small boat was put down, and there was a prince and two eunuchs sitting on the boat, and the prince was dizzy by the upside down of the ship, and was vomiting there. Jia Lian took him to the big ship. The voice of the three young men of Sumen over there: "Daoist, Jia Guard, the ship of the Qing soldiers over there is chasing over, don't blame me for not reminding you, there are more than three hundred, I have already handed over the people to you, whether you can live or not depends on your own creation." Jia Zhulang smiled: "Sumen Sanshao, this Yangtze River is your world, we are not familiar with water, you just wait for tomorrow to collect the corpse for us, but the Manchu Tartars will not let you go, I am afraid that you will not have the courage to clean up for us tomorrow." ”

The loud voice of Sumen Sanshao came: "Don't worry about us, Lao Tzu just doesn't eat this set, what did the son of heaven of the Zhu family give us, what does he have to do with Lao Tzu." I'm not your godfather, nor is it your in-laws, where can I control you?"

"Naturally, it has nothing to do with it, but if this person dies, Daming can be declared dead today. Such a great China is of a different race. ”

There was no sound over there, and Jia Zhu ignored him.

I have seen the longevity of Zhu Yujian, the king of Nanyang, although he is a royal family, but he has been locked up by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty before, and now the country is broken, he was pardoned by Zhu Youxiang and was named the king of Nanyang. Zhu Youxiang ordered him to go to Pingle, Guangxi, but because he was not in good health and had no money in his hands, he dragged it out at this time, but he didn't want Jinling to be destroyed. Jia Zhu took the Taoist priest and Baoyu over the big boat, and Baoyu and Qin Zhong went to meet the princess. Jia Zhu and the Taoist priest briefly talked to Zhu Changshou, the king of Nanyang, about the current situation, and after a little discussion, it was decided that Jia Zhu and Wang Daoist would take refuge in Jiaxing, the hometown of Wang Daoshi, after a few breaks.

The ship accelerated and walked forward, but a soldier came to report that Sumen Sanshao's ship had been following, and the Qing soldier's ship was getting closer and closer.

Jia Zhu ordered two boats to light torches and divert the pursuers, while the rest of the ships accelerated forward.

Jia Zhu stood on the boat, and the four major families all volunteered to be on this boat, but Na Daiyu shed tears and refused to leave. Fourth, at this time, the voice of Sumen Sanshao came: You go first, we will help you lead the big boat, but I have another person here who must be handed over to you, you must treat her well. Her mothers are all heroes.

I saw a beautiful girl of seven or eight years old sleeping soundly in a small bed in the torch. A strange-looking man picked her up, grabbed the cable, and leaped onto the Jia Zhu boat. Like a trapeze. Jia Zhu stretched out his hand to take the girl and gave his hand to Sumen Sanshao, Sumen Sanshao held the child and couldn't return the gift, but in the firelight, he could see that he was a very elegant middle-aged man: "Her name is Shi Xiangyun, not to mention that you know whose child it is." It will not be easy for us to save her, but you can be careful to protect her. ”

Jia Zhu nodded. "Thank you Sumen Sanshao, this child is also what our family Taijun is looking for, I can't find it, she is the granddaughter of our uncle Shi Gong's family."

Daiyu looked at this girl, she was still sleeping soundly like this, pursed her lips and smiled: "Big brother, I think this sister is the first sleepy insect in the world" Everyone laughed.

After a while, Sumen Sanshao lit his torches, and the four families also followed with a boat full of gunpowder. They thought about it, and in the end they would definitely not be able to defeat it, but if they attacked with fire, they could achieve maximum lethality. The Qing soldiers' ships were indeed attracted by this torch, and Jia Zhu asked Wang Daoshi to lead the remaining ships and some small boats to Jiaxing. Daiyu was teary-eyed, and said to Jia Zhu that she wanted to live and die with the four major families, but Jia Zhu didn't allow it. The four families pleaded: It's rare that Miss has such a mind, but one of us survives, and we will protect Miss well, so let her be with us. Jia Zhu thought about it, and simply left Daiyu's team directly behind and got on the ship of Sumen Sanshao together.

Na Baoyu saw this Daiyu's thin back riding on a horse in the cabin, and only a hazy side could be seen, but it also made him feel beautiful and a little stunned. Qin Zhong said: Sleep, you won't fight, it's a burden for us to go out, it's better to be honest and not make a mess. Baoyu hung his head: Every girl in the family can fight, which shows that we men are really useless.

This Qing army is Han Dai, the general of Prince Yu Aixinjue Luo Duoduo, who was pursuing Emperor Hongguang, and saw that there were torches in the river, turned the bow of the ship, and pursued him.

Here, Sumen Sanshao ordered the four families to divide the gunpowder on the ship on the twelve small boats, and when the Qing soldiers approached the big ship, let their sailors crash the ship into the big ship, ignite the fuse, and detonate the big ship.

He himself aimed the ship's guns at the flotilla and ordered the gunners to prepare for fire.

Who knows, some crew members saw the majestic momentum of the Qing warship, and the black pressure pressed into battle, so they abandoned the ship and fled first. Su Men San Shao was so angry that he wanted to kill the crew, but he couldn't do it, until the ship of the Qing soldiers seized the opportunity, and the cannon actually blew up the mast.

Su Men Sanshao sighed, "You all go, now that the country is gone, you can run for your life." ”

Slowly, Wang Fei said angrily, "I only came back from Yangzhou a few days ago, Yangzhou City was broken, 800,000 people were slaughtered, all the dead were babies and children, you are now fleeing back, these boats sailed to the shore, a large number of Qing soldiers went ashore, your family is not spared, today you kill one less one, or one less culprit who killed your relatives in the dark, fight is also death, not fight is death, how can the husband die as he deserves." ”

Jia Zhu pulled Daiyu and pointed to Daiyu's team, and said to everyone: "We children, the oldest is fifteen years old, and the youngest is less than ten years old, and we still ask for our lives and deaths. ”

Everyone wept, a few crew members jumped on the boat, the family used shields to cover, blocking the rain of arrows on the big boat, several small boats exploded, the nearest three big ships were blown up a gap, the river water was immediately poured in, the boat was in chaos, these Qing soldiers did not know the nature of the water, and there were countless casualties.

Han Dai ordered the boat not to approach, only with arrows, immediately ten thousand arrows at the same time, everyone hid in the bilge did not dare to show their heads, and Han Dai's people did not dare to come up, so to hold each other until the third watch, Xue Guerrilla came up with an idea, let the Qing soldiers' boat to the lakeside, where there are reeds, very close to Zheng Hongkui's sailors, you can take the opportunity to escape. Su Men Sanshao shook his head, "These sailors, usually very lax, suddenly go forward, without telling each other, they will definitely be caught off guard by the Qing army's counterattack, why don't we organize a diving team, buckle the boat back to block the rain of arrows, and go to scuttle the bottom of the Qing army's boat." ”

Everyone applauded, so the boat was quietly launched, each with a master and two crew members, and wrapped explosives in oilcloth, or with tools, approached the big ship. Daiyu ordered his killer team to block the arrows with shields, and the archery team to fire, covering the crew to go into the water, this team is usually well-trained, one person died, and immediately a rear team made up for it, and for a while the small boat approached the big ship, and another one was blown up and sunk. The children were happy, but they were shot two by arrows. Daiyu saw another arrow shooting straight at her, she was in the position of Lingqi, there was no one to make up for in this position, but she saw Sumen Sanshao flying up and shooting with an arrow, his arrow split the arrow that came over, and the arrow fell into the water.

Thank you, uncle. Daiyu politely. "You kid, you're going to be a real talent in the future."

Su Men San Shao said in a female voice, "Who is your father?" ”

A soldier on the side had already informed him, and Su Men Sanshao nodded, "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, Miss Lin, I have always admired your father, and I will do it with you in the future." ”

It turned out that Lin Ruhai was transported by canal, and he fought the most with this Sumen Sanshao, and the two of them fought wits and courage for many years, until a while ago when Yangzhou resisted the Qing Dynasty and Lin Ruhai disappeared, this Sumen Sanshao really shed tears for Lin Ruhai.

Xue Guerrilla and Wang Fei and Zhao Hu led a few family members to scuttle the big boat, and the small boats that got off and off the big boat were also overturned, and they fought hand-to-hand with the Qing soldiers in the water. Yangzhou is on the side of the Grand Canal, the four major families are familiar with water, and Jia Zhudaiyu Sumen Sanshao on the boat is desperately covering, so they are naturally at ease.

Han Dai wondered, where did such a difficult opponent come from.

It seems to be Sumen Sanshao's ship and Lin Ruhai's general. This area of water used to be their world. The military advisor is a Han Chinese, said on the side.

It turned out to be a few water bandits, don't entangle with them, what we have to deal with is Zheng Hongkui's water master, this Sumen Sanshao, you can send some silver later.

Be.

Take the wounded and go.

At dawn, the Qing soldiers' ship retreated, Sumen Sanshao was very excited, Daiyu went back to the cabin to rest, Jia Zhu and the four major families and Sumen Sanshao said goodbye, and the four major families are now left with three, Liu Zhenyuan fell into the water and disappeared, and Zhao Hu was left by Sumen Sanshao to teach himself land kung fu. Sumen Sanshao gave Daiyu three tokens and asked Daiyu to bring them, saying that as long as she was on the Yangtze River and saw this token, she would only look at her. Daiyu smiled sheepishly. It's like two people from last night's brave woman.

Jia Zhu Daiyu, Wang Fei and Xue Guerrilla took a few boys from Daiyu's team and rode their horses by land to chase Zhu Changshou and the princess.

At this time, Zhu Changshou and the princess and his party arrived in Jiaxing, the officials of Jiaxing Mansion were waiting here early in the morning to greet Zhu Changshou, the king of Nanyang, Jia Zhu had already dialed his own team of people and several masters of Jinyiwei as an entourage, the whereabouts of Emperor Hongguang are unknown, and the country can not be without a king for a day, now only Hangzhou still has King Lu in, the princess will give some of her entourage and property to Zhu Changshou, let Zhu Changshou go to Hangzhou to find King Lu, there must be some silver taels to be dotted. Zhu Changshou ignored his illness, did not rest overnight, and went straight to Hangzhou

The princess sighed with Li Kun in private: This Nanyang King really has nothing, and his health is not good, but he is frank and political, we are now alone, there must be someone to support him in this world, so I can't help but recommend him. Li Kun persuaded: I think this Nanyang King still has the spirit, and he is not afraid of things, and he is really loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Or if you can unite King Lu and have someone to support you, you can make a difference.

The princess did not let King Ding, Baoyu and King Nanyang meet, in the woman's selfish heart, in addition to the national disaster, she still wants to leave a glimmer of hope for her children. The princess ordered everyone not to regard themselves as royal families anymore, and from then on, they lived incognito and lived in seclusion in this land of fish and rice. Daoist Wang's family had already come to greet him, and Baoyu had already known that this Taoist family had a younger sister's husband, the Xue family, who was a big family in the south of the Yangtze River and his aunt, and when he asked at this time, it was indeed her family. Baoyu hurriedly asked Daoist Wang: "I heard my mother say that her family has an older sister named Baochai, who is the most ladylike, why is there no one in his family." ”

"They went to Hangzhou." Daoist Wang asked Baoyu Miaoyu Xiangyun Xing Yanyan Jia Lian to live in the back garden of Mrs. Wang's mansion and wait for Jia Zhu to come back.

Jia Zhu and Daiyu went directly to Hangzhou. The reason why he went to Hangzhou was because Emperor Hongguang was captured and was being sent to Beijing, King Lu was in Hangzhou to supervise the country, and Jia Zhu wanted to join King Lu to rescue him.

In the evening, Jia Zhu was waiting outside King Lu's mansion, but he saw the chief soldier Fang Guoan and Yuan Ke coming out and hurriedly greeted him. Fang Guoan called "Jia Guard" and burst into tears. Jia Zhu hurriedly asked the reason, only to learn that they originally wanted to support King Lu and fight against the Qing soldiers, but they were driven out by King Lu. Jia Zhu didn't give up, let them wait for him to say goodbye, because King Lu and himself also had a little friendship before. When King Lu heard this, he told him to go quickly, and cried, saying that you people, just think about the world, don't pull him to be a substitute for the dead ghost, and blast out quickly. ”

Everyone was so angry that everyone was dizzy. Jia Zhu and Daiyu could only temporarily rest in Fang Guoan's army. As soon as Jia Zhu arrived in the army, Wang Qingpu, the general of the army, came to see him, it turned out that he was the brother of the Taoist chief, and Xue Guerrilla was also his own family, his son and nephew were in the army at this time, and his nephew Xue Pan and his son Xue Zhen were busy coming over to see Jia Zhu and Xue Guerrilla.

Fang Guoan put the wine on the table, and let his daughter come to see Daiyu, several girls are the same age, and the boys are only eleven or twelve years old, so they immediately got acquainted. Fang Guoan's son Fang Shi took Xue Pan and Xue Zhen with him, and he was usually good at dancing with guns and sticks, and immediately asked to join Daiyu's killer team, and his daughter Fang Ruizhu joined the archery team.

Finally, the high-spirited spirit of these teenagers made the adults relieve some of their depression. A few people prepared wine and food and were about to eat, but they saw that a few spies had brought a person, but it was Xing'er who was sent by Jia Zhu to take care of him in and out of the Luwang Mansion.

"Master, King Lu has already sent someone to send a letter of surrender to Han Dai, and also sent some articles to praise them for merit. He also provided the place where the chief soldier was stationed, and he was going to bring the Qing soldiers to attack the camp in a short time. I saw that the situation was not good, and took the time to run out and tell the chief soldier that I don't want my lord to be here, but it's not right, my lord also made a preparation, last night's battle with Han Dai on the river was done by my lord, and this matter was also told to people, so I can be careful, then Han Dai asked King Lu to arrest him first. ”

Fang Guoan was so angry that he wanted to smash the wine jug, Jia Zhu's eyes were quick, he grabbed it, and it was full of a few glasses, "Your own wine, don't waste it, everyone drink a glass first, and then hurry up to prepare." ”

Uncle and nephew Yuan Ke was originally the minister of King Lu's mansion, and he was also full of drinks at this time, everyone drank this cup of wine is not a taste, or Jia Zhu is steady, it turns out that in the troubled times, he has already put life and death out of the way, and wealth is not in his heart, so he is naturally calm and free. Fang Guoan and the others secretly admired him. Daiyu and the others watched Jia Zhu's demeanor all the way, and only took this brother's behavior as an example in their hearts. Wang Jinpu was worried about the safety of the barracks, so he only took a sip, said goodbye, and went back to arrange the arrangement.

Everyone ordered their own troops, and let Daiyu's two family members and the chief soldier's personal soldiers be grouped together. There were not many people left under Jia Zhu, Fang Guoan allocated his 5,000 men and horses to Jia Zhu and asked him to lead troops to pick up Zhu Changshou, Jia Zhu was shocked, saying how could this gift be endured

Fang Guoan sighed: "You have traveled thousands of miles for the Ming Dynasty, I have already heard about what you have done, and there are not many people left in your brocade guards, and there are still these dolls in the guards." Now I don't just entrust you with these soldiers, all the women and children in my small army are handed over to you, you can lead the retreat first. ”

At this time, the Qing soldiers had already killed, and several teams fought and retreated, Fang Guoan did not give up, and let him retreat to the city gate to ask for help in the city. Jia Zhu knew that Fang Guoan wanted to force King Lu to resist the Qing Dynasty, as long as this King Lu soldier's soldiers sent a soldier and an arrow, or let the team enter the city, forcing him to resist the Qing Dynasty.

They retreated to the gate of the city, but King Lu was not allowed to open the door, nor did anyone help them. , and no one was allowed to attack the Qing soldiers. The soldiers did not dare to disobey. He also shouted for Fang Guoan, Yuan Ke and others to surrender, and used bamboo baskets to send food and drink to the Qing soldiers from the side. Wang Fei was so angry, "Daiyu, shoot him with an arrow." Daiyu bent her bow and shot the wine and rice over. The soup fell, splashing Qingbing in the face. This time, a group of Qing soldiers rushed towards Daiyu, Wang Feixue guerrilla a few rushed up to resist, Wang Fei was hit by a sword, Daiyu's nurse was anxious, wanted to save the master, but he held the order flag in his hand, and continued to wave the order flag while crying, Wang Fei and others killed until the blood was exhausted and died in the chaos. After the Qing army went on offensive, he asked King Lu to read the letter of persuasion to Fang Guoan. There was silence for a while. King Nalu was there reciting the words that sang the praises of the Manchus. Bitter mouth, if you resist, if you resist, you should look at the fate of Yangzhou for ten days. When it came to Yangzhou for ten days, Daiyu could no longer bear it, she rode her horse to the city, jumped up on the stirrup, shot a string of arrows, stepped on the arrows, flew into the air, bent the bow to shoot the article of King Lu, flew to the drummer's place, and beat the drum all the way, for a while inside and outside the city, as if in a dream, Jia Zhu also followed to protect Daiyu. Xue's guerrilla light skills were even better, stepping on the stones at the head of the city and coming up to the head of the city with a few ups and downs, blocking in front of Daiyu, and drinking back the Ming army that rushed up. Whoever of you dares to touch her, I will be polite to whom, are you the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't resist aggression, you have to kill people who resist the Qing Dynasty, you are not even as good as children. His voice was hoarse and tears flowed down his face. Many Ming soldiers dropped their weapons and began to cry. King Lu's face was like ashes: Let them go quickly. Han Dai's army was stationed still, and the city of Hangzhou had surrendered, but the resistance in front of him made him wonder whether to break the city immediately or wait for them to come out to greet him. King Lu ordered: open the city gate and welcome the Qing soldiers into the city. The door opened, and before the Qing soldiers could enter, Jia Zhu, Daiyu and Xue Guerrilla slowly walked out. No one made a sound, and asked Han Dai left and right if he wanted to shoot them. Han Dai shook his head, keep them, they can be used by me in the future. King Lu and his ministers followed behind, holding the surrender table and the talisman, and respectfully waited for Han Dai to come. The city of Hangzhou is officially about to surrender. Jia Zhu and the others walked to Fang Guoan's side.

Fang Guoan's back was injured, and his son Fang Shi's right ear was cut off, at this time he held his son and sighed at Jia Zhu, "Like such an imperial relative, such a spineless person, what good do we do to protect him, why don't you take these soldiers and see if there is a decent emperor to assist, even if the Zhu family has to die, you can also help me protect these brothers." ”

Jia Zhu was surprised: "Where is the chief soldier going," "Wandering the world, where to go where is pure." Jia Zhu said: "My lord, Mo Ruo, will assist the king of Nanyang with us, I saw the king of Nanyang yesterday, and I am really not afraid of death." The character also looks good, and when the Qing army chased after him, he also asked us to sacrifice him to save everyone. Xing'er said: "The king of Nanyang that the master said arrived in Hangzhou in the afternoon, crying and begging King Lu to take the throne and fight against the Qing soldiers, King Lu scolded him and drove him out. ”

"Where are you going?" Several people asked questions at the same time. Xing'er thought for a while, "It seems that I went to the ferry, saying that I was going to bring a few soldiers to guard the ferry, and whoever dared to retreat would be killed." ”

Fang Guoan said sadly, "Daming has such a prince, and we still have a little hope." Our children are entrusted to you. Let's go find him. A large number of Qing soldiers rushed over, Fang Guoan, Wang Jinpu, and Yuan Ke fought and retreated to the ferry.

Jia Zhu snatched Wang Fei's body, commanded Daiyu, and the rear army of the group was replaced by the front army, and retreated back in an orderly manner. The sky and the earth are dark, and the sand and dust are flying.
