When he ran out of the teahouse as if he was fleeing, Qian Sunrui, who seemed to be in shock, suddenly laughed.

"I really didn't expect that they would dare to do it, if it was in front of Qing Yu, they also had such blood, why would this be the case in this world?"

"What this virtuous brother said is extremely true!"

At this moment, the words next to him made Qian Sunrui hurriedly turn his head to look, only to see a scholar in his thirties smiling at him.

"If all the scholars in the world had today's blood, how could I steal for the Tartars for more than ten years!"

The scholar saluted at Qian Sunrui.

"In Xia Lu Qian, the word Kong Zhao, I have seen a virtuous brother."

"Junior brother Liu Xiaozhao, I haven't had a word yet, I've seen Brother Kong Zhao."

Qian Sunrui, who was dressed in a Confucian robe and a square scarf, deliberately introduced himself in a dumb voice. In this self-introduction, she felt a little novel, after all, although she was influenced by her mother, she often traveled in men's clothing, but this was the first time she got acquainted with Shizi, and she also felt fresh. When he learned that the other party was also going to the dock, he took the initiative to invite him to ride in a carriage with him, and now these four-wheeled rental carriages, I don't know when, have begun to appear in Nanjing, and quickly replaced the old two-wheeled carriages.

"Fang Yu is in the teahouse, listening to Brother Xiao Zhaoxian speak bluntly for General Zhu, although the words are intense, but every sentence is true, such a great sound, but they have never heard it, his character is really as despicable as General Zhu said, this time the surname of the country is probably a mistake......"

Lu Qian, who was originally a third-class jinshi of Chongzhen, came to Nanjing this time to be invited, and when he witnessed those scholars who had been dismissed from his reputation in the teahouse, he naturally sighed when he expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhu Mingzhong.

"Perhaps, but he's not as happy as General Zhu, he's like a chivalrous man!"

When Qian Sunrui mentioned Zhu Mingzhong, his words were full of appreciation. It's no wonder that she, who has a personality like her mother, admires such a man the most.

"General Zhu is resolute, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Because most of them are hearsay, Lu Qian did not praise the other party like Qian Sunrui.

"Listening to the accent of Brother Xian, it seems that he is from Jiangzuo, could it be that he is also here to participate in this township test?"

"Me?"

Qian Sunrui waved his hand again and again and said.

"To tell the truth, don't hide it from my brother, the younger brother is really not a material for reading, even if he has never tried the government exam, how can he participate in the township exam. This time I came to Nanjing, I also came with the elders of the family, and today I just went out to have a good time. ”

Qian Sunrui's answer made Lu Qian stunned, originally he thought that this handsome and woman-like young man was a talented man from Jiang Zuo, otherwise how could he be haunted in the teahouse where scholars gathered, so he had the idea of making friends, but he never thought that he would be mistaken.

But even so, Lu Qian still smiled.

"Brother Xian is modest, he will definitely have the title of the gold list in the future!"

Will there be?

Qian Sunrui naturally thought of her talented mother, although she regarded herself as a "Confucian scholar", but that's all.

Noticing that Liu Xiaozhao's face seemed to be becoming unnatural, Lu Qian smiled.

"Virtuous brother, this scripture and article, as long as you work hard, over time, you will be able to achieve something, if you have a famous teacher to guide you, you will also get twice the result with half the effort. Just like General Zhu, who started from the grass, although he had a little literary talent, he did not get a famous teacher, and then he worshiped Mr. Chuyu as a teacher, but for a few months, his poems, books and articles have been successful, and they are not inferior to ......"

"You don't know!"

As soon as he heard others say that Zhu Mingzhong was just "a little literary", Qian Sunrui immediately said with some displeasure.

"You don't know that he is a talented man, and he writes poems and lyrics, and he is even more handy......"

After pondering for a moment, thinking of the poem he had read with his mother, Qian Sunrui said.

"The vast and sorrowful day is slanting, and the whip points to the end of the world. Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers. Can make such a poem, how can it be a little literary? ”

“…… Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers. ”

Chanting this poem that he had never heard before, Lu Qian was stunned, and from the poem, he could feel the feeling of being a poet himself, although his future was not smooth, but he did not forget to serve the country.

"This poem was written by General Zhu?"

"It was done last year when he was forced to leave Nanjing,"

Qian Sunrui has always liked the feelings shown in this poem, and perhaps this is why she admires Zhu Mingzhong.

"Hmph, everyone in the world says that he has no talent, but a few people know that he has a lot of talent in his belly, and he knows that he has the talent in his belly!"

When she spoke up for Zhu Mingzhong, she said again.

"If not, how could there be the current Jiangbei Dazhi?"

Qian Sunrui's rebuttal made Lu Qian laugh,

"What the virtuous brother said is extremely true, this matter is a foolish brother and ignorance, and it has become a cloud of people!"

Silently wrote down this poem in my heart, the carriage had arrived at the dock, and when they came down from the dock, the dock was already crowded with people, so lively. Because the wharf was full of people watching the excitement, Qian Sunrui, Lu Qian and his party went directly to a restaurant near the wharf, and the restaurant was also extremely crowded.

In the past few months, the world has long been familiar with Zhu Mingzhong's name, whether it was the bloody battle of Tongjimen, or the Northern Expedition of the lone army, or the bloody battle of Suqian.

For the people of the world, perhaps because of the removal of fame, it is inevitable to complain about Zhu Mingzhong, but they are also full of curiosity about him. In addition, Zheng Chenggong personally greeted him at the pier.

In the eyes of many people, it is naturally a grand event, where they are willing to miss it, not only ordinary people are willing to join in this excitement, but even many scholars have rushed to the dock to watch the "grand event" where the two meet.

In fact, none of them noticed that deep down, they had faintly regarded Zhu Mingzhong as another force, not Zheng Chenggong's subordinate.

"Look, look, that's the big ship of Zhu Jingluo in Jiangbei!"

What a big ship!

Although it was a hundred feet away, Lu Qian was still startled by the big ship, looking at the tall masted ship, as well as the oars on the part of the ship, when he couldn't help but be surprised, the others were probably the same, but someone on the side said.

"It's just a twenty-zhang big ship, what is this, if you go to Haizhou, a big ship like this will be too much!"

The seemingly casual words, although they did not attract Lu Qian's attention, attracted the attention of the drinkers on the side, and the man walked up to the scholar who spoke and asked.

"Brother Tai is talking about Haizhou, is there a bigger ship than this?"

The gentleman, who spoke with an obvious Jiangbei accent, smiled when he saw that his words attracted the attention of others.

"Exactly, all the ships built in Haizhou are sea-going ships, and I heard people say that the navy under the command of Jingluo has not only developed Keelung, but also intends to revitalize the maritime merchants in Jiangbei and re-open up the shipping routes to Japan and other places, so it is natural to build sea-going ships......"

The gentleman's answer made the drinker's face change suddenly, as if he had heard something bad, and he chatted with the man absentmindedly, and when he heard that the Jingluo had already gone ashore, this man, like the others, turned his attention back to the dock.

If anyone pays attention, they should be able to hear a slight Hokkien accent in his words, but in this noisy environment, no one has noticed this, only thinking that these middle-aged people in their forties are also scholars from other places.

At this time, the riverside wharf had been arranged according to Zheng Chenggong, and an unusual guard of honor was set up to greet him. In the past 200 years, I don't know how many officials have been sent to this official wharf, but few of them are as lively as they are today, with colorful flags fluttering, drums and music, temporary archways one after another, and iron guards with swords, guns and bright armor in their hands are lined up one after another. The most eye-catching thing is the several Hongyi cannons at the wharf, all of which are pointed at the river. There is no longer a civilian boat on the river from Jiuhuanzhou in the west to the Straw Shoe Gorge in the east. In the distance, more than 100 warships of the Zheng family's navy are quietly moored in the south of the Yangtze River, and on the masts of several big bird ships and lucky boats, the huge and friendless Zheng family's flags are fluttering high, and the word "Zheng" and "Ming" on the flag are the same, even if they are two miles away, they can be seen clearly.

Zheng Chenggong, who was dressed in a military general's robe, took Wang Zhongxiao, Gan Hui and other civil and military subordinates to the dock early.

"This is a Western ship!"

Almost as soon as the multi-oared sailboat came into view, Zheng Chenggong, who was good at naval warfare, turned his head and asked Gan Hui.

"It's a Western-style ship, and the sail is also a Western-style sail."

"I heard that the Westerner Shi Si under the command of Gan Ti Governor is now in Qinghe, and it is estimated that he helped Chengren build the boat!"

"Anyway, we don't need Yangyi to build a ship for us, no."

Regarding the "reminder" of others, Gan Hui squinted his eyes and said quietly.

Zheng Chenggong turned a blind eye to the "secret fight" between his subordinates, and sometimes, it is not necessarily a good thing for his subordinates to form a group.

"Look at this multi-oared boat is quite suitable for the Yangtze River, the sea boat has no oars, and it is not suitable for the Yangtze River inland river!"

A seemingly random sentence made Gan Hui quickly fall silent.

In the sound of lively drum music, Zhu Mingzhong had already appeared on the side of the boat, he first stood on the side of the board and saluted Zheng Chenggong and others, then stepped on the gangplank, and after going ashore, he hugged his fists again.

"Xia Guan Yan dares to greet the prince in person, he is really frightened!"

Just as his words fell, the sound of cannons rang out, and in an instant, more than a dozen Hongyi cannons rang out in unison, and clouds of white smoke suddenly rose from the riverside. The sound of the cannon has the momentum of breaking through the blue sky, this is the salute to welcome Zhu Mingzhong's arrival.

"Chengren, you and I have been separated for a few months, these days, you have repeatedly made miraculous achievements for the country in Jiangbei, and as a barrier in the south of the Yangtze River, Yu Daming can be described as a high level of hard work, and this king can not know!"

Zheng Chenggong, who was holding his hands in front of his chest and returning the salute, was even closer to his hand at this time.

"Chengren, come, ride in the same car with this king!" 8)
