The sound of "bang bang" rescued the traversal from the onlookers of the melon-eating party. The fast fleet towing the pirate ship was inconvenient to move, and it was easy to have accidents when it was watched, so after the fleet commander Wang Bo found out that the situation was not good, he quickly ordered the empty cannon to drive people away.

The effect of the empty cannon was very good, anyway, the old bustard didn't know that the iron ball was not stuffed in the cannon chamber, so the people who ate melons screamed in the thick smoke and loud noise, and retreated in all directions, making way for the channel.

Due to the inefficiency of the old docks, and the fact that there were pirate ships that had entered the water, it took a lot of time for the fleet to enter the docks until sunset.

In this process, the city of Guangzhou was not idle.

The first to react was He Rubin. Although the general army of Guangdong said that the capital of Chaozhou was opened, there was also a yamen of the Guangdong capital in the city of Guangzhou. He Rubin is not only one of the masterminds behind this incident of the guest army's coming to help, but also the military counterpart unit who nominally issued an invitation, so he has been in Guangzhou City recently. After receiving the letter, Lao He immediately ordered his own soldiers, crossed the horse out of the city, and went straight to Baietan.

The flagship observed a team of horses in the distance in the dust. Therefore, without waiting for the rest of the ships to enter the port, General Cao Da, who is in charge of role-playing, and Sha Zhengming, a "monk general" with a big bald head and already famous in Fujian and Guangdong, have already put on the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, and with a group of guards wearing big red and fat jackets, they have stepped down from the board of the ship and stood at the mouth of the trestle to welcome the guests.

Hurriedly got off the horse, He Rubin stepped forward a few steps, raised his head and laughed and grabbed Zhang Dongdong's hand, "Hahaha, don't talk about thousands of miles of help, this ability to find gifts in front of the door is also very clever!" It's really better to be famous than to see it, Brother Cao is really a famous general! ”

Although the two sides met for the first time, He Rubin at this moment did not look like he was outside at all, took someone's hand, and said a few good words very affectionately.

Zhang Dongdong has been mixed with Ming Dynasty officials most of the time since he crossed over, so he has long been familiar with the current scene, "He Zhen killed the last general, today's matter, thanks to He Zhen's prestige, the last general dares to take credit?" ”

"Not really." He Rubin's expression became a little solemn at this time, "A strong ship and a sharp cannon are not enough, and you have to have strong troops to support you to succeed." This officer has also led soldiers, and he knows all the difficulties. As soon as this general said, my brother deserves it! ”

As early as the last years of Jiajing, He Rubin was an official and worshiped the guerrilla general in Jining, Shandong, and later was promoted to Ning Shao's general and moved to Zhoushan, and then changed to Zhoushan as a general, and Ning Shao was the deputy chief soldier, and it was not until last year that he was transferred to the Guangdong general army.

He Rubin is not in Zhoushan, but he doesn't make soy sauce. At that time, the Japanese at sea were arrogant, and during his tenure, he trained sailors and eliminated the Japanese bandits, and was a front-line general who really fought naval and land warfare.

It is precisely because of his actual experience in leading troops that Lao He praised Cao today - Lao He, who is well aware of the current decline of officers and soldiers, knows how difficult it is to take a group of pirates lightly, and there is not much to praise in the middle.

After feeling Lao He's kindness, Comrade Zhang Dongdong was naturally full of enthusiasm, and he was so energetic that he pushed the credit to Lao He Lao He was the chief military officer of Guangdong, and all the sea and land battles that nominally took place in the province had his share in the end.

After a few words of greeting, Zhang Dongdong introduced the general Sha Zhengming to Lao He, so several generals happily set up a dragon gate array on the dock.

There is a reason for the dragon gate array, because it has to wait for the civil officials to arrive.

Military generals ride horses, civil officials sit in sedan chairs, and literati lords usually have to be slow to appear. Even if the powerful guest army drove to such a major event, the main hall of one government and two counties in Guangzhou City still came unhurriedly in an official sedan chair.

After several masters got off the sedan chair one after another, it was another round of polite greetings. In the middle of the South China Sea, the county order level of the two counties of Panyu is too low and I don't talk about him, but it is Hong Yunsteam, the prefect of Guangzhou, who is more affected by the crossing public.

Hong Yunxuan is a Wanli Gengxu Kejinshi, in history, this person served as a Guangzhou Mansion, and later served as the Huizhou Mansion in Chongzhen for seven years. In the second year of his tenure, under the order of Xiong Wencan, this gentleman went to appease Liu Xiang with several other officials, but was put under house arrest by Liu Xiang.

After more than a year of house arrest, Liu Xiang finally came to the end of his rope and was surrounded by Zheng Zhilong's army. Liu Xiang saw that the general trend had gone, but he ran to Hong Yunxuan to express his willingness to return to the imperial court, and Hong Yunxuan immediately became angry and scolded. Liu Xiang became angry and killed Hong Yunxuan on the ship, and then committed suicide soon after.

Therefore, the traverser is actually the life-saving benefactor of Hong Taishou in front of him, but this is the sorrow of the traverser, to be honest, no one believes it.

Although General Cao is a military attache of Sanpin, although he came to help with soldiers and horses, for the civil official circle in Guangzhou, the prefect from Sanpin paid more than 200,000 stone of grain for the upper government, and the prefect came forward to greet him, which was already giving Cao someone a lot of face.

Fortunately, General Cao acted politely, behaved politely, and spoke wittily, unlike the usual Qiu Ba, which was disgusting, so the first impression of several civilian officials on General Cao was not bad.

Now that everyone is here, it's time to do a bunch of civil and military officials who first boarded the booty pirate ship.

The pirate ship is very busy now, and the public officials of the two counties are collecting the corpses and parts of the pirates one by one, and then cutting off the heads for the adults to see—the civil officials of this era are very fierce, but after the battle, the civil officials are responsible for counting the heads and giving the military attaché credit.

Therefore, several civilian officials stood on the deck of the big bird ship full of blood at this time, chatting and laughing with the two generals, and at the same time conveniently checked the head.

This was followed by a circle of officials with hooks and sticks to surround the nailed hatch, then open the hatch and catch the pirates who were still alive in the water one by one, first slashing their heads and covering their faces with sticks, and then tying them up.

At this time, General Cao stood up in time and made an allocation of the trophies he brought, and all the heads were at the disposal of the chief soldier, and these heads were enough to ensure the promotion of a henchman.

The remaining living pirates can be taken by the prefect for a few days - the head of the vegetable market is cut off and hung at the city gate to show the public, which can be regarded as an explanation to the officials and gentry in the city who have suffered from pirates, and it can be regarded as a political achievement.

As for these ships, they were given to the yamen of the two counties, and they were sold for a sum of silver.

General Cao's intellect and generosity impressed several civil and military officers. So after a little humble, several pirate ships and their original owners were inadvertently eaten.

After that, a group of civil officials who had become more and more harmonious in the atmosphere said goodbye one after another, and the articles had done enough, and the benefits had been pocketed, so it was enough to leave the subordinate officials to entertain here.

As for General He, his old man is going to continue to stay, and there are still battleships that he hasn't visited.

He Rubin, a Confucian general in history, was rigorous in governing the army and proficient in military affairs, and not only compiled the "Zhoushan Chronicles", but also wrote the book "Records of the Soldiers". This book covers 14 volumes of military aspects such as "On Generals", "Selected Soldiers", "Formation" and "Equipment", and is an important document on military logistics in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the book was eventually listed by Qianlong as a series of books banned from the Four Libraries - the Tartars castrated the Han people, and they were never soft.

In He Rubin's "Records of Soldiers", there are not only descriptions of all warship models in the Ming Dynasty, but also descriptions of various artillery and ordnance. Therefore, for this research-oriented scholar, a visit to the unique sailing ship and the armament on it is an essential item.

The results of the visit did not disappoint General He, and the exquisite artillery control system opened Lao He's eyes.

But that's the end of it. When the gap in science and technology widens to a certain extent, even if you look at it openly, the ancients will not be able to understand it. He Rubin didn't know anything about the ship's most critical communication system, nor did he go to the bilge to see the gas engine, and for him, those delicate machine guns and slender and fast ship shapes were the biggest gains.

"There's something commendable about this exotic craftsman." After hearing that these artillery mechanisms on the ship were all from the hands of some unknown craftsmen in the distant "Eastern Regions", He Rubin was also full of emotion.

What else can Zhang Dongdong say at this time? I had to deal with Lord He with haha.

After all the official entertainment was completed, it was already the summer night time in the treetops of the moon. At this moment, the breeze on the white goose pond is breezy, the waves are not alarmed, the lights are bright in the painting boats gathered around, and the sound of silk and bamboo worries is endless, it is a picture of the Chengping scenery of drunken life and dreaming of death.

The fast fleet coming from afar naturally did not dare to be careless at this time, whether it was on the dock or on the water around the fleet, there were enough patrols and lookout posts with night vision devices.

After a hurried night, the fleet began its official recuperation the next day.

The first is the number of houses. Theoretically, there are barracks and school grounds inside and outside the city of Guangzhou, but the people who travel through the city do not plan to live in those dilapidated houses - all the public property of the government is known with the heels of what kind of goods it is.

As a result, the Tiandao Temple by the White Goose Pond was requisitioned by the Qiu Bamen.

Tiandao Temple is a historical temple, which existed in the Tang Dynasty and covers a wide area. Because of the various superstitious rituals and psychological counseling services for those sisters in the painting boat all the year round, the bald donkeys of Tiandao Temple are very rich, and the interior of the fine house is very finely decorated, which is just used to make dormitories for the soldiers.

The abbot, who claims to have infinite mana, can only express his recognition under the acquiescence of the bayonet and the government. But immediately the abbot was not depressed, and he was very generous through the crowd, not only gave half a day to facilitate the old man to transfer the treasure hidden in the Buddha's belly, but also gave him a seven-treasure glazed Buddha lamp as a monthly rent, and the old man was very happy.

At the same time as the number house here, General Cao was already in a carriage and entered the city of Guangzhou with the escort and Marlboro series of gifts. Since all the bigwigs below the political envoy, Zhang Dongdong needs to contact them one by one and make an assessment report afterwards.

Guangzhou is not the kind of wild people in Tainan, it is a place with a large population, a strong government, rich resources, and a superior geographical location, and it is the foundation of the country that crosses the predetermined foundation for at least the next ten years, and the new capital and new industrial zone will be here, so the cabinet attaches great importance to this place, and the preliminary preparation work required is also very heavy.
