Chapter 70: Admiral of the Navy

Chapter 70 The entrance of the Admiral's Station. The two guards on duty who were chatting in a whisper couldn't help but be startled when they saw dozens of brocade guards riding freshly clothed angry horses arrive murderously. Then I was happy in my heart, could it be that the silver allocated to the post station by the Yicheng greedy Yamen was discovered, right?

Then I thought about it and felt that it was wrong, although this greedy thing for ink and silver was not small, but it was not to the point where it could alarm Jinyiwei.

I was thinking about it here, and the second brother who started had already turned over and dismounted and strode over. Shaking the waist card on his waist, he asked with a straight face: "Say, the guy from the capital today can stay inside?" ”

The two of them didn't see the words written on the waist card, but this outfit represented everything, and they didn't dare to doubt the authenticity of the identity of the person who came. "If you go back to your lordship, the adult from the capital has just entered." A post guard said with a smiling face.

"Hmph, what kind of lord from the capital, that guy is just a charlatan in the name of a court official!" Brother Erdan glared and said, in one sentence, he convicted the cabinet messenger from the capital of pretending to be a court official without authorization, which is a big crime! "Lord Ben brought someone to arrest this guy, hurry up and lead the way," Brother Erdan waved his hand and said.

The two of them did not suspect him, and they were also shocked in their hearts, that person was so bold that he dared to deceive the officials of the Yamen, and asked the Yamen to send someone to take him to our post station to cheat and eat and drink. You turtle grandson, don't you know that there is not much silver for the reception of the post station?

Without saying a word, the two post guards who were originally listening to Brother Erdan's words with humility were angry in their hearts, and then led everyone into the post station with a look of indignation. If it weren't for the adults of Jinyiwei today, the brothers would have to clean up this daring charlatan.

"My lord, the conditions are simple, you can take care of it more, hehe." Hangzhou Yicheng pointed to the richly decorated room and said. This set of rooms is the best set of Hangzhou Post Station, a total of three, one is for guests, one is a bedroom, and a small cubicle is for bathing, specially placed a large bath barrel with a diameter of six feet, which can be described as fully equipped.

There are very few people living in this house, and it is generally arranged to come from the capital. The upper and lower places live comfortably, and this mood must not be bad, so that the adults of the yamen are good, and the adults are good, and their little post will also have to be stained with some light. So it's worth the effort to decorate the house with a lot of silver.

After a closer look, the messenger nodded in satisfaction. The messenger is also well-informed, and the humble house in the mouth of this post man is the best inn room he has lived in for so many years, and it is much better than the first-class rooms of the inns outside.

"Hehe, simple and comfortable, this is worth emulating everywhere, you are doing a good job in Hangzhou Yicheng, you should be promoted and reused." The messenger said in an official tone.

Yi Cheng was happy in his heart, and he thanked him for his succession: "Thank you for the praise, the villain will definitely work harder." ”

As soon as the words fell, before the messenger could pretend to be indifferent, the two post guards walked in with Brother Erdan and his party. Without waiting for Brother Erdan's command, the two post guards rushed forward and pushed the messenger who had not yet come back to his senses to the ground.

"What a gut, dare to pretend to be a court official!" A post guard slapped the messenger in the face, and shouted with a hideous face, when his brother was on an errand in the government prison, no matter how powerful the prisoner was, he could be obedient.

"Bastards, you ...... This...... The villain Hangzhou Yicheng has seen all the adults. Yi Cheng, who was full of surprise, said to Brother Erdan, his expression changed for a while, and he really couldn't see through the situation in front of him. What's going on, why did the people of Jinyiwei suddenly come out?

Brother Erdan ignored him, stepped forward and grabbed the messenger who still hadn't reacted and sneered: "Hmph, you are a charlatan, but let the official be easy to find!" ”

Now Zi Yicheng heard it clearly, but he never expected that the guy in front of him who had been smiling for a long time was just a charlatan! As soon as he remembered the way he had just groveled, Yi Cheng felt heartbroken and ashamed!

"Liar?" After half a day, the messenger finally said a word, when did he become a liar? "Bastard, this official is an official of the imperial court, let me go!" Yi Cheng glared at him and shouted angrily, raising his hand to break the hand that Brother Erdan was holding his collar. Although Jin Yiwei is powerful, he is also powerful but not Xu Ge Lao, he is Xu Ge Lao's person, how can he be afraid of them?

"Hmph, dare to quibble." Brother Erdan's face was full of disdain, and he ordered: "Come on, take him down, and the official will interrogate him well." "There is a way to say too much, there must be a loss, if this guy suddenly takes out something that can prove his identity, and then is seen by the post man and the post guard, it will not be easy to do.

Brother Erdan gave an order, and the lieutenant behind him immediately took the messenger from him, and dragged him outside without saying a word. When the messenger saw this situation, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought that this matter must be Jinyiwei framing him, you must know that even if he is really a charlatan pretending to be an official of the imperial court, he has not reached the point of alarming them Jinyiwei.

"You guys let go of this official, this official is not a charlatan!" The messenger shouted hysterically, since the brocade guards were framing themselves, how could there be good fruit to eat if they fell into their hands?

To deal with this kind of person, the lieutenants immediately resorted to their usual means, and the current one person turned back with two slaps, the sound shook the mountain, and the messenger who immediately hit whined, and there was still kung fu to prove his identity.

Seeing him being dragged out, Brother Erdan smiled proudly, and then his face changed again, and he turned back to the dumbfounded Yicheng and said coldly: "In the future, the chief will have some eyes, don't dare to entertain anyone." With that, he turned around and walked out briskly. A big trouble is solved so easily, and when adults know about it, they will definitely praise themselves for doing a good job.

"My lord, the Admiral of Fujian Navy has arrived." A lieutenant hurriedly walked in and reported. Shen Chongming, who was sitting on the chair and squinting, stood up with a spirit, "Quick, please." ”

The lieutenant turned his head and ran out, and Shen Chongming also began to tidy up his clothes and strive for majesty, otherwise how could these veterans obey themselves when they met for the first time.

The surname of the admiral of the Fujian Navy is Wang Mingzhen, if it is not a word difference, Shen Chongming is also a certain eunuch, I vaguely remember that the Ming Dynasty seems to have come out of such a big eunuch.

Wang Zhen is burly, perhaps because the sea breeze blows too much, his face is black and red, and his two black and thick eyebrows are connected into one, and he looks like a strong person at a glance.

"The last general, Admiral Wang Zhen of the Fujian Naval Division, see Lord Shen." Wang Zhen bowed with a big fist in a sand bowl, and his face was not smiling, and the timid person was afraid that he would be killed in seconds when he saw him.

Shen Chongming looked at it slightly, this body is a fight with Xiong Dabiao. "Hehe, Lord Wang, hurry up and be polite, it's been hard all the way."

"Master Xie. My lord, the last general came this time, and brought a total of seventy-two warships, including three three-masted gunboats, twelve large fortune ships, and a total of twenty eagle ships and forty-seven troop carriers of various types in order to deal with the red-haired ghost's clippers. There were 1,700 sailors, including gunners, gunners, and archers. Now the sailors are stationed at the Dinghai wharf and can go to sea to fight at any time. ”

After concisely explaining his combat power equipment, Wang Zhen hugged his fists again and said: "My lord, as long as you give an order, the last general will definitely kill the red-haired ghost without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

"Hehe, Lord Wang, don't be impatient, wait for the Nanjing Navy Master to arrive, we will go to sea to fight the Japanese Kou, and there will definitely be a place for you to come in at that time." Shen Chongming laughed, but he was full of emotion in his heart, he knew that this guy would work so hard, so he told him his plan in advance, this warship is a bait to seduce the red-haired ghost, and the rest of its function is to be a troop carrier.

said that Cao Cao Cao would arrive, but before Wang Zhen could express his position, the captain ran in again just now, "My lord, Cao Jing, the commander of the Nanjing Navy Division, has arrived." ”

"Hurry up, please." Shen Chongming's face was full of joy. The two waiting teams finally arrived, so that he could send troops to Zhoushan Island to lure the Japanese to take the bait, and even if Xu Jie said that the emperor was moved in the court, he would have a reason to delay it for a few more days.

Compared with Wang Zhen, Cao Jing's figure is not like a general, not to mention thin, there is always a smile on his face, if he is a few years younger, he is no different from the little second brother in the store.

"Xiaguan Cao Jing, meet Lord Shen." Cao Jing was very respectful, first bowed to Shen Chongming, and then turned his head to Wang Zhen and smiled: "Brother Wang, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, but I really want to annoy my brother, tell me, have you removed the title of landlubber, hehe." ”

"Hmph, don't worry, if you want to know if I'm a landlubber, let's try it in the sea." Wang Zhen's face became darker and darker, and his two eyes stared at Cao Jing motionlessly.

The smile on Cao Jing's face did not change, "Hehe, it seems that you didn't have enough lessons back then." "You ......" Wang Zhen's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Chongming had an estimate of the relationship between the two in his heart. Look at Wang Zhen's appearance of the five big and three coarse, he should have been a cavalry or cavalry general back then, and he was transferred to the water division later, because he was not able to pass through the water, and he was also ridiculed by Cao Jing.

Things are similar to what he guessed, when Wang Zhen first served as the commander of the Nanjing Navy Division, because of his outstanding achievements in the northern Xinjiang, this vision is much higher, and he really looks down on the sailor soldiers who have been pampered and treated for many years without war.

No matter what their skills are, all the men in the army are competitive, so they are against Cao Jing, who is also the commander of the water division. During a two-person boat competition, Wang Zhen, who was originally in full advantage, fell into the water, but was cleaned up by Cao Jing, who was proficient in water, which made him lose face, and he no longer dared to underestimate others.

But the two of them have come to an end, and over the years, Wang Zhen has practiced hard to practice the skills of the water master with a force that will never admit defeat, and the combat power of the Fujian water division under his command has improved by leaps and bounds. It was precisely because of his confidence that he dared to boast in front of Shen Chongming just now that he wanted to destroy the red-haired ghost's warship in one fell swoop.

Seeing the two of them sparkling at each other, Shen Chongming hurriedly became a peacemaker, and changed the topic and said: "Two adults, it's been a long journey, and this official will arrange a place for you to live." Have a good night's rest, and let's leave Zhoushan Island tomorrow. ”
