"The Gu District swallowed up the border of the three states, and the Haohao Tang Tang Na Qianpai. There is never a boat with ten thousand boats, and a reed fishing boat is running fast - good poetry, good poetry, worthy of ...... It's a ....... ”

36,000 hectares, 800 miles around, on the surface of the gently wavering Taihu Lake, a light boat rowed across the lake from west to east, a handsome young man with two servants stood at the bow of the boat, shaking his head and chanting the poetry of the ancients, and then the young man quickly looked down at the "Selected Song Ci" in his hand, and then laughed: "It is worthy of Su Dongpo's poems, it is really Su Dongpo, I still like it...... Like...... Like. The young man wanted to say that he liked Su Dongpo's other poems, but unfortunately the "Selected Song Ci" in his hand had no other poems by Su Dongpo except for this "Praise Taihu" given by Su Dongpo to Jia Yunlao, so the young man had to change his words: "I still like his Dongpo meat, fat but not greasy, delicious and delicious...... Aha...... Hahahaha....... ”

"The prince is a vassal again, fortunately, Pu Songling and Yin Shijie, who went to Jiangning with them, didn't come out in the cabin, otherwise the face of our Pingxi Mansion would be lost by the prince." Wu Lu and Jin Dao both muttered in their hearts, but they both smiled and said: "The poetry is good, the lake is good, and the Dongpo meat is better, but they are not as good as the sons of the world." Wu Yuanming laughed proudly and said very modestly: "It's over, it's over." After that, Wu Yuanming went to look through the "Selected Song Ci" he bought in Huzhou, and prepared to find a few more poems praising Taihu Lake to decorate the façade.

"Shizi, I have a question for you?" Wu Lu was afraid that Wu Yuanming would find some verses praising Dongting Lake and sing praises to Taihu Lake, so he continued to lose the face of the Xiwang Mansion, so he quickly changed the topic and asked: "The surface area of this Taihu Lake is much larger than that of Luoma Lake, and the aquatic products in the lake are far better than Luoma Lake, why can Brother Liu and them gain a foothold in Luoma Lake, but no one can cut the lake in Taihu Lake and claim the king or establish an anti-Qing base?" ”

"There are many reasons, and the key reason why Taihu Lake is so important to the Manchus is the key reason." When it comes to the rebellion and secession, Wu Yuanming is a good trick, pointing to the lake and introducing: "The Taihu Lake basin is the most important grain-producing area in the south of the Yangtze River, and the annual grain output accounts for more than one-eighth of the annual grain output of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" If there are water bandits who occupy the lake and dominate here, the first threat is the granary of the Manchu Qing, and the Manchu Qing will definitely eradicate it at all costs, so occupying the lake here is tantamount to self-destruction, and within a month, it will attract the heavy troops of the Tartars to encircle and suppress! Moreover, there are many prefectures and counties along the Taihu Lake, and it is impossible to prevent the division of the lake, and the people along the coast are relatively wealthy, so it is very difficult to win the support of the people, and all kinds of conditions are not suitable for establishing an anti-Qing base here. ”

"So what about Hongze Lake, Brother Liu, and the others were going to transfer to? Is that place suitable for building an anti-Qing base? Wu Lu asked again. Wu Yuanming nodded and replied categorically: "Hongze Lake is suitable!" Hongze Lake spans Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, is a weak area of Tatar power, the water network is complex, the Yellow River and the canal in the north, Gaoyou, Baima, Chengguang and other lakes in the east, it is very convenient to transfer and intersperse. The residents along the lake, especially in Anhui, are quite poor, and it is very convenient to win the support of local residents and replenish the source of troops, and it is the best place to establish an anti-Qing base. ”

"It's a pity, if Liu Haozi and them had successfully transferred to Hongze Lake, it might have been our anti-Qing stronghold in Jiangnan." Wu Yuanming sighed and deeply regretted that he could not insert a nail in the hinterland of Manchu. Wu Lu suggested: "Shizi, I don't think Brother Liu is very hateful to you, why don't we persuade Brother Liu again and see if we can subdue him?" We will provide him with some necessary assistance, so that he can go to Hongze Lake to regroup and establish an anti-Qing base in the most important Jiangnan of the Tartars, firstly, it can play a role in echoing the prince's actions, and secondly, we have no naval army in the Pingxi Palace, and then his team can play a central role in the prince's new naval army. ”

"Establish an anti-Qing base in Jiangnan, do you think I haven't thought about this? But how can we get him to submit to our Pingxi Palace? Wu Yuanming looked up to the sky and sighed again, knowing that with the reputation of Pingxi Palace, it would be difficult to convince a bull like Liu Haozi. While speaking, Dai Zi rushed out of the cabin with a repeating musket in his arms, and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, my repeating musket has finally been transformed into a flintlock type, and it can be fired without ignition!" ”

"Okay, bring it to me and try it." Wu Yuanming was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the transformed flintlock machine gun, and pulled the trigger one after another on the surface of the lake, only to hear the sound of bang Zhu Fangdan, who was asking Pu Songling for advice on how to get the beautiful female ghost on the upper body in the cabin, was also so frightened that he crawled out of the cabin, and asked in a loud voice, "What happened?" Did the Qing soldiers catch up? ”

"It's okay, I'm testing the gun." Wu Yuanming couldn't put it down, fiddling with the repeating musket, and replied casually. Zhu Fangdan pointed to the distance in horror and asked, "Since there is nothing wrong, what does that ship mean?" Seems to be coming straight at us? Wu Yuanming was stunned, and hurriedly followed the direction pointed out by Zhu Fangdan, and sure enough, he saw a medium-sized fishing boat with full sails and rushing straight towards his boat. Wu Yuanming was afraid of an accident and hurriedly threw the repeating musket to Dai Zi, "Dai Zi, quickly load the musket, and the other four repeating muskets are also loaded with ammunition and take them out, be careful." ”

Dai Zi did as Wu Yuanming ordered, loaded the only five repeating muskets with ammunition, and gave Wu Yuanming the new repeating rifle that was transformed into a new type of repeating rifle that did not require ignition, and the other four were handed over to Wu Lu, Jindao and Zhu Fangdan, and Dai Zi himself also held one guarding the hatch to protect Wang Ying'er who was watching at the hatch. As soon as the guns were distributed, the fishing boat, which I didn't know what to do, approached the civilian boat that Wu Yuanming was chartering, and more than 30 strong men with weapons stood on the fishing boat, staring at Wu Yuanming and the others without saying a word. Wu Yuanming had a musket in his hand, so he was not afraid of these strong men with cold weapons, and shouted first: "Who are you?" What do you want to do when you get on our boat? ”

"Who are we? We haven't asked you who you are? After the strong men, there was a calm angry shout, and at the sound of the words, the strong men flashed away on both sides, a man and a woman walked to the front, and when they saw the woman's appearance clearly, Wu Yuanming secretly screamed that it was not good - but it was too late, Zhu Fangdan, who was holding the repeating musket, seemed to have suddenly learned light skills, threw down the continuous musket and jumped on the fishing boat in three steps and two steps, grabbed the woman's hand and said: "This girl, seeing that your face seems to have a hidden disease, you are slightly familiar with medical skills - known as the divine doctor, please let you diagnose your pulse." ”

"Smack!" The crisp slap sounded, and Zhu Fangdan had a red five-finger print on his face, not to mention, the person still spun in place, and fell on the deck with an unstable footing. The beautiful girl who had sun-tanned skin kicked Zhu Fangdan again, and scolded with a red face: "Obscene thief, shameless!" Zhu Fangdan crawled on the deck and explained: "Girl, I'm not a thief, I saw that your eyes were bloodshot, the bags under your eyes were black, and your skin lacked luster, so I concluded that you were overtired and caused by the imbalance of sunflowers, and the loss of qi and blood, so I want to heal you for your pulse." Also, just now I found that your pulse is weak, you must not have eaten well in the past few days, and even if you eat, you have eaten some raw and cold food, so there is also damage to your spleen and stomach. ”

"How do you know?" The girl opened her mouth wide and looked at Zhu Fangdan in surprise. Zhu Fangdan tilted his nose in disdain, and said proudly: "Why don't I know? I am the famous miracle doctor Zhu Fangdan, and I Zhu Fangdan claim to be the second in the world's medical skills, and no one dares to claim to be the first! As he spoke, Zhu Fangdan pointed to the man next to the girl and said, "And this should be your brother, right?" He walked with a vague left foot, and there must have been a wound on the left side of his back that hadn't healed yet! And there must have been a lot of blood loss, so he didn't speak with enough air! ”

Zhu Fangdan talked eloquently, and his mouth was like a river, but the girl and her brother, as well as all the strong men on the fishing boat, were all dumbfounded, and they exclaimed for a long time: "Divine doctor! Miracle Doctor! We all know that our young helpers have a wound on his back! The girl and her brother were even more happy, and hurriedly picked up Zhu Fangdan together, and apologized: "Divine doctor, I'm really sorry, we misunderstood you just now, how offended." Zhu Fangdan waved his hand proudly and said magnanimously: "Forget it, this divine doctor doesn't care." After that, Zhu Fangdan grabbed the girl's little hand again, "Girl, let me touch your little hand again...... Feel your pulse to help you heal. ”

"Divine doctor, you don't have to treat me." The girl's face was flushed and she broke free from Zhu Fangdan's clutches, and said shyly: "Divine doctor, we respect you because we want to ask you to treat my father, he is an old man with a disease, and he has been lying on the hospital bed for more than half a year, please treat him." ”

"No problem, I'll take care of the girl's father's illness, but after the cure, you have to ...... girl." Zhu Fangdan just wanted the girl to kiss him a few times, but Wu Yuanming, who had already jumped on the fishing boat, kicked him away. Wu Yuanming bowed his hand to the group and said, "Heroes, who are you?" Why is it approaching our ship, and what is it? ”

"Mr. don't blame, in Xia Qian Baotong, this is the little sister Qian Rui, we are all members of the Taihu Dongshan Fishing Gang, and Qian Tieyi, the leader of the Dongshan Fishing Gang, is the father of the next family." Because there was something to ask Wu Yuanming's companion, the girl's brother Qian Baotong was also much more polite to Wu Yuanming's tone, and said apologetically: "In the past few days, our Dongshan Fishing Gang and the other two fishing gangs in Taihu Lake have clashed because of the competition for territory, and they have lost three fishing boats and five brothers, so some plants and trees are soldiers, and when we heard the sound of muskets here, we misunderstood that the boat of the Dongshan Fishing Gang was attacked again, so we rushed over to check. ”

"It turned out to be the Taihu Dongshan Fishing Gang, and the other two fishing gangs that had a conflict with you should be the Xishan Fishing Gang and the Majishan Fishing Gang, right?" Wu Yuanming heard about the three major fishing gangs in Taihu Lake in Huzhou, these three fishing gangs were not like Liu Haozi's Luoma Lake water thieves and the Qing court, but they were composed of some local fishermen, who formed gangs in order to compete for fishing territory, rowed the lake and ruled the lake, and there were often conflicts in order to grab more opportunities to fish and make money, but they never went against the government, and the government was happy to turn a blind eye to their private fights - this is better to govern.

"What Mr. said is extremely true, it is the people of the Xishan Fishing Gang and the Majishan Fishing Gang who are plotting against us these days." Qian Baotong replied respectfully, and sincerely invited: "Sir, if you don't give up, please take a trip to Dongshan Island in Taihu Lake with us, let you apologize for you, and by the way, ask this Zhu Shenyi to diagnose and treat my father's illness." Then Qian Rui also bowed to Wu Yuanming and said: "Sir, please promise us, my father's illness has been delayed for a long time, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that it will ...... 'M afraid....... ”

Speaking of this, Qian Rui was already in tears, and in the face of the tears of the beautiful girl, Zhu Fangdan naturally agreed, and Wu Yuanming did not refuse, because the time was only the second day of September, and there was still half a month before September 18, Wu Yuanming was not in a hurry to go, and agreed to the invitation of the Qian brothers and sisters in line with the reason that many friends and multiple roads were followed. The Qian sisters and the Dongshan Fishermen were overjoyed, and they were busy and respectfully guiding Wu Yuanming and others, leading Wu Yuanming's chartered boat straight to Dongshan of Taihu Lake, and on the way, Wu Yuanming took out the traumatic elixir Panax notoginseng powder to pull out poison for Qian Baotong to treat his injuries, and the Qian sisters were even more grateful. Zhu Fangdan seized the opportunity to make a shameless request to Qian Rui, but Qian Rui politely refused with a red face.

Taihu Dongshan Island and Wu Yuanming is not far from the Suzhou Canal, Wu Yuanming and his entourage only took more than an hour to arrive at the Dongshan Island wharf, in the afternoon, the fishing boats that went out to fish returned one after another, and the wharf was very lively to collect sails and load fish. Qian Baotong was relieved to learn that the fishing boat of the Dongshan Fishing Gang had not been attacked today, and hurriedly ordered the fishermen to bring the best fresh fish and shrimp to prepare for Wu Yuanming and his party, and led Wu Yuanming and others to the mansion of the Dongshan Fishing Gang on the island.

"Mr. Wu, please take a seat." Entering the living room of the general help of the Dongshan Fishing Gang, Qian Baotong was busy giving up his seat to Wu Yuanming and others. Qian Rui pleaded with Zhu Fangdan: "Doctor Zhu, please go and treat my father quickly, we will definitely thank you heavily." ”

"I don't want you to thank me, I just want you to agree to my terms." Zhu Fangdan took advantage of the danger of others, sat on the chair and knocked on Erlang's leg and said in a big way. A trace of anger flashed on Qian Rui's face, but considering that there was something to ask Zhu Fangdan, he could only lower his head and suppress his anger. And Qian Baotong, who didn't know what to do, asked his sister: "Sister Rui, what conditions does Doctor Zhu want?" Why didn't you say yes? As long as you can save your father, you can agree to Doctor Zhu's request for gold and silver. ”

"Brother——! Qian Rui dragged out her voice, and her face turned even redder. However, Wu Yuanming couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted to Zhu Fangdan: "Zhu Fangdan, don't take advantage of the danger of others, go and treat the old gang leader Qian." When I arrived in Yunnan, I bought two beautiful maids from Annam and gave them to you - foreign women, you should be satisfied, right? Zhu Fangdan rolled his eyes, and felt that it was still cost-effective to exchange the fragrant kiss of a Jiangnan girl for a few foreign beautiful women to open foreign meat, so he stretched out three fingers and bargained: "Two Annan girls, plus a Siamese beauty!" ”

"Deal." Wu Yuanming replied helplessly. Zhu Fangdan cheered, jumped up and looked around, and the monkey shouted anxiously: "Where is the old gang leader Qian?" Over there? Take me to him for treatment, don't delay my time to Yunnan. Qian Baotong was dumbfounded, and hurriedly led Zhu Fangdan to treat his father's illness, while Qian Rui glanced at Wu Yuanming gratefully, and ran into the back room with a red face.

After drinking two cups of tea in the living room, the second cup of tea and tea were not cold, Zhu Fangdan swaggered back to the living room in the gratitude of the Qian sisters, Wu Yuanming asked him how the treatment was, Zhu Fangdan waved his hand proudly and said: "It's not a serious disease, it's just a disease caused by hard work and old age, and I contracted tuberculosis." Wu Yuanming was shocked: "Tuberculosis?!" That disease is not easy to treat in Chinese medicine. Zhu Fangdan picked up the teacup handed by Qian Rui's hands, glanced at Qian Rui first, and said nonchalantly: "It was difficult to treat before, but three years ago, I found that the green mold that grew out of the moldy watermelon peel has a special effect on tuberculosis after refining, and tuberculosis is a trivial matter for me." ”

"Moldy hairs that grow after the watermelon skin is moldy? Isn't that the raw material for penicillin? Wu Yuanming's eyes widened and blurted out. Zhu Fangdan was also surprised: "Penicillin? I thought I had the first trick, but someone had already used it. Originally, I was going to write it into my book "The Secret Record of Medium Quality", but it seems that I can't write it, so as not to lose face. Before Zhu Fangdan's words fell, Wu Yuanming had already excitedly pounced on Zhu Fangdan's neck and scolded, "You bastard!" It turns out that you have already invented penicillin, why didn't you say it earlier? This time, I don't have to worry about the casualties of the soldiers on the battlefield! Don't talk nonsense, immediately come up with a way to produce penicillin in large quantities for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will give you ten beauties! ”

"I ...... I think of a way, you let me go first. Zhu Fangdan rolled his eyes and replied to Wu Yuanming with difficulty: "I'm about to be strangled to death by you." And Qian Rui next to him blushed and shouted in his heart: "Strangle him!" Strangled this stinky thief who forced me to kiss him...... And I want to put my tongue ...... Strangle him! ”

"Young helper, it's not good!" When Wu Yuanming was pinching Zhu Fangdan's neck and forcing Zhu Fangdan to find a way to produce penicillin in large quantities, two fishermen suddenly rushed in outside the hall, panting and shouting to the Qian sisters: "Young helper, miss, something is wrong!" The people of the Xishan Fishing Gang and the Majishan Fishing Gang joined forces to kill, hundreds of people! We want to wipe out our Dongshan fishing gang! ”
