Chapter 703: Journey to the Southeast (2)

"Didn't you say that there were also Yangtze River sailors from the imperial court? Why are there only a few ships? ”

Outside the city of Hongzhou, on the dock of the Ganjiang River.

Looking at the building ship slowly coming from a distance, as well as the few sea falcon ships next to it, Zhong Chuan was a little puzzled, didn't he say that there was still a fleet?

"Hui Jieshuai, the news from Jiangzhou is indeed the case, but why there are fewer warships now, and the lower officials don't know. Ask the ship sent by the marshal later, and you should be able to find out what is going on. Sima Chen Xiang, a marching soldier on the side, said.

It turned out that he learned that the imperial court had sent a messenger, and Zhong Chuan also sent a ship to meet him as a guide.

Zhong Chuan nodded, although Jiangzhou said that there were only more than a hundred warships, but the sudden disappearance of these warships made him feel a little uneasy, if he didn't find out, he would always be worried about it in his heart these days.

About a quarter of an hour later, the ship finally approached the pier, and the wide sails were lowered, and then many officers and soldiers came out of the boat.

Looking at those soldiers, especially the appearance and weapons, Zhong Chuan was also secretly surprised.

Although he has occupied Jiangxi for ten years, the population is small, and he only controls half of Jiangxi, which is the case of all feudal towns, and there are very few jiedu envoys who actually control the entire feudal town.

The rest of Sun Ru's troops before him, although he led the army out of Jiangxi in the end, Jiangxi was also greatly injured.

I don't know if the current army of the imperial court is like this.

"Jiangxi Jiedu envoy Zhong Chuan, I have seen Qincha!"

After Dugu walked downstairs, Zhong Chuan immediately stepped forward and saluted slightly.

In the face of the Qin cha sent by the imperial court, he really didn't have the confidence to show an arrogant posture.

"Zhong Shuai is polite!"

Dugu was smiling, but he didn't have too much respect for Zhong Chuan in his eyes.

Zhong Chuan in front of him, if he is obedient, the court will naturally not treat him badly, and he will naturally be polite to him; If the other party is disobedient, the court will clean him up next.

"Dare to ask Qin Cha, didn't you say that there was still a sailor in the imperial court, why didn't you see it?" Zhong Chuan said curiously.

Dugu said haha, "Zhong Shuai misunderstood, the sailor was just escorted, and when he arrived at the border of Jiangxi, he was escorted by Zhong Shuai's ship, so the sailor did not go to Hongzhou together." ”

Looking at Dugu's appearance, Zhong Chuan became even more curious.

However, this Dugu didn't seem to plan to say it explicitly, and he couldn't ask questions, so he could only hold back his curiosity.

"So that's what happened. Since the sailor is not unintentional, then Qin Cha is invited to enter the city, Zhong has prepared a banquet in King Teng's Pavilion to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Qin Cha. ”

。。。。。。

"Hui Jieshuai, the sailors of the imperial court disappeared after entering Poyang Lake, and since it was night, the last general did not know where the sailors of the imperial court went.

According to the words of the Qin Cha, it was said that the sailors of the imperial court had a business trip, so that the last general and others did not have to worry. ”

Late at night, he had just returned from the courtyard where Qin Cha and his party lived, and the sailor generals sent by Zhong Chuan to greet him had been waiting in the study for a long time.

"Business trip? Did they enter Poyang Lake, or did they not enter Poyang Lake? Zhong Chuan asked.

The general of the water division looked a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while and said truthfully, "The last general doesn't know!" ”

"I don't know? But what are you going to do? Don't even know this bit of news? Zhong Chuan scolded.

"Father Shuai is angry, Poyang Lake is so big, if the sailors of the imperial court really enter Poyang Lake, it will not be easy to find it in a short time. The top priority is to find out whether the purpose of the imperial court sailor is it aimed at his father! Zhong Kuangshi stood up and persuaded.

Zhong Chuan's face improved slightly, he looked at the sailor general in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "How big is the scale of the imperial court sailor?" ”

"There were about eighty ships of all kinds, except for seven or eight of the more strange ones, mainly building ships and flat-bottomed sand boats, which seemed to be transporting something, and because of the heavy defense, the last general did not know what was in them.

There are more than 50 flat-bottomed sand ships, and the rest are common warships such as five-tooth warships, warships, fighting ships, and sea falcon ships. ”

"More than fifty building ships and flat-bottomed sand boats carrying something? What's being shipped? Zhong Chuan wondered.

"Father, it can't be the army, right? The larger building ships can carry thousands of soldiers, and it is not a problem for these more than 50 building ships and sand boats to carry tens of thousands of soldiers. Zhong Kuangshi looked a little worried, and suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that the imperial court wants to take the opportunity to capture Hongzhou?" Sending a messenger is just a pretense? "Recommended Reading TV//

"Probably not!" Zhong Chuan hesitated.

But his expression betrayed him, and at this time he was not sure if what his eldest son guessed was true, could it be that the imperial court really planned to do something to Jiangxi?

"Father, you have to guard against it, otherwise how can you explain the sudden disappearance of the imperial court?" Zhong Kuangshi said anxiously.

Zhong Chuan hesitated a little and looked at the marching Sima Chen Xiang next to him, "Sima Chen, what do you think?" ”

Chen Xiang's expression was solemn, "Marshal, what the young marshal said makes sense, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, so it's better to make plans early."

The next step of the imperial court was to pacify the internal feudal towns, and Jiangxi was the weakest of the southeastern feudal towns, and it was close to Hubei Province and Hunan Province, so the imperial court's troops could enter Jiangxi at any time. ”

Seeing that the eldest son and the marching Sima both said this, Zhong Chuan nodded, and immediately ordered, "Pass the order, let the sailors stay on guard during this time, strengthen the patrol in Poyang Lake, and double the daily guards in Hongzhou." ”

Just to keep Hongzhou on guard, Zhong Chuan was still a little uneasy, and he also ordered Jiangzhou, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou and other places to be on guard, just in case.

Just when Zhong Chuan's side was facing a great enemy, Wang Shimiao had already led his ships to the Yangtze River section in Chizhou.

More than eighty warships, not too much, no less, suddenly appeared in Chizhou, this is not a trivial matter, but because it is night, it has not caused much movement.

"Commander, we have entered the territory of Chizhou, and we will pass through the state city of Chizhou before the time, do you need to inform the Chizhou side?"

There was still a quarter of an hour to come, and one of the No. 2 Ning ships, which was the flagship of the entire fleet, would come to Wang Shimiao's room to report.

Wang Shimiao put down the book in his hand and said lightly, "No need, as long as it is a ship in front of the fleet, it will be sunk." ”

To put it bluntly, on this trip to Mingzhou, Wang Shimiao's main task was to provoke, by the way, to explore the strength of the naval divisions of the southeastern feudal towns, and of course, to test the navigation of the Ning ship on the sea. TVmobile/

They hesitated, but in the end they chose to carry out the order.

"Understood!"

With that, they all turned and left, giving orders to the other ships. However, before Wang Shimiao picked up the book and read it for a while, someone came to interrupt him, which made him a little unhappy.

But this time it wasn't a trivial matter, but someone was eyeing their fleet.
