Looking at the sail shadow that appeared behind him, Shen Shouyao made a quick calculation in his heart.

No, you really can't rush forward anymore. If you rush again, you really have no other choice.

After settling down, Shen Shouyao opened his mouth solemnly.

As a qualified and responsible captain, he had to immediately adjust his course and leave the place before the three warships in the rear arrived.

Shen Shouyao believed that with the speed of Zhen No. 1, as long as he did not die and rushed to a target, he was absolutely sure that he could throw all the patrol battalions far away.

"Captain Shen," Gao Qiqian's sharp voice sounded in Shen Shouyao's ears, temporarily interrupting Shen Shouyao's thoughts.

"Captain Shen, Your Highness commands, please hang this flag on the mast immediately."

Looking at the patrol battalion battle formation that was getting closer and closer, Gao Qiqian quickly handed a black pennant to Shen Shouyao, and urged again: "Captain Shen, please be sure to do it as soon as possible." ”

"Come on, raise the flag."

Shen Shouyao did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately asked the sailor to raise the flag on the mainmast.

In the sea breeze, under the bright yellow royal flag, the black pennant is waving in the wind, and the golden deformed 'emperor' character pattern on the flag is extremely conspicuous.

Is this the basis for His Royal Highness King Shin to charge into battle?

The black flag was raised into the sky, and Jane No. 1 rode the wind and waves to move forward bravely. Like an arrow without regrets, it stabbed towards the center of the patrol battalion battle array.

Holding a telescope in his hand, Shen Shouyao nervously stared at the patrol battalion battle line in the distance. According to his calculations, Zhen No. 1 had a quarter of an hour left at most. No matter how late it is, it will be difficult for Jane No. 1 to escape from the other party's roundup.

As the minutes passed, Shen Shouyao stared at the patrol battalion's every move, and he was ready to give the order to turn the ship at any time.

Suddenly, Shen Shouyao saw that a miracle had happened.

What is shown in the telescope is very clear. The ships of the patrol battalion swayed to the left or to the right, so that their already loose line ceased to exist.

A wide avenue appeared in front of Jane No. 1.

So magical?

Shen Shouyao was impressed by the unpredictable methods of His Royal Highness King Xin.

Seeing the black flag with the 'emperor' pattern raised on Jane No. 1, a certain string in Cheng Xiufeng's heart completely collapsed.

Cheng Xiufeng was very impressed by this black flag.

It is the flag of the brothers' store.

Cheng Xiufeng's impression of this flag came from the generous gift he received from his brother's warehouse. For the sake of the generous face, Cheng Xiufeng promised that the cargo ship under this banner would be given special care by their patrol battalion and would not make it difficult.

Although the Tianjin patrol battalion is responsible for investigating traitors and anti-smuggling, in fact, Cheng Xiufeng's patrol battalion is just a group of people suffering from gas nest fire.

Tianjin Wei is an important place to protect Gyeonggi. In principle, the port of Tianjin is never allowed to travel by merchant ships. These merchant ships who dare to walk in Tianjin, the one behind them is not a big man standing in the court.

In the face of the bigwigs of the imperial court, who does the Tianjin patrol battalion dare to investigate?

12 years ago, under the pressure of the courtiers, King Fu was completely defeated from the competition for the crown prince and was forced to go to Luoyang to become a vassal.

As a guard of King Fu, Cheng Xiufeng, who was already a guerrilla at the age of 31 and had a bright future, was kicked by the imperial court to serve in the Tianjin patrol battalion that his grandfather did not love and his uncle.

Dragged down by King Fu, Cheng Xiufeng trembled in the patrol battalion, and the patrol battalion did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

In the past 12 years, despite the needs of the war in Liaodong, Tianjin rebuilt the governor's yamen. The port of Tianjin also prospered again because of the military supplies provided by Liaodong.

But for Cheng Xiufeng, except for the extra mother-in-law on his head, there is no other change. Cheng Xiufeng, who has been a guerrilla of a sailor for 12 years, has long lost confidence in his official career.

A Shangguan who has no future, a Shangguan who can't bring glory and benefits to his subordinates, how can he control his subordinates.

In the patrol battalion, except for Cheng Jiu, who was born as a personal guard of Cheng Xiufeng, the other patrol battalion generals only maintained superficial respect for Cheng Xiufeng. Cheng Xiufeng's control over the patrol battalion is really not strong. This is also the most important reason why Cheng Xiufeng did not dare to directly issue an attack order.

Zhen No. 1 rushed in, and the only extravagant hope in Cheng Xiufeng's heart was to directly sink Zhen No. 1 with a wave of attacks, and drag all the patrol battalions into the water with a fait accompli.

But the appearance of the black flag completely broke Cheng Xiufeng's illusions.

The officers and men of the patrol battalion may be in a state of half-belief in the Ming Yellow Banner and the honor guard of the vassal king because they have never seen it. However, the black-patterned 'emperor' flag is quite familiar to the officers and men of the patrol battalion. They clearly knew that it was a subordinate of the Xinwang Mansion.

Since the brothers took over the three sea ships of Wuqinghou, in order to familiarize themselves with the route, they could get on the line with Jiangnan as soon as possible, and they have done a lot of preparations during this time.

In view of the fact that Tianjin Port is the first port where Brother Cargo Warehouse is stationed. In order to reduce the run-in time and avoid unnecessary troubles, the officialdom of the entire Tianjin Wei and the brother inn were all visited.

With the help of Qian Zhuang's financial resources and the prestige of removing Qin Ming, the garrison of Tianjin, the brother warehouse easily opened up the situation in Tianjin officialdom. In particular, the middle- and low-level officers of the patrol battalion, who are responsible for investigating traitors and smuggling, are closer to the brothers' warehouse.

For the middle and low-level officers of the patrol battalion, they can get practical benefits from the brother store, and they can also use the brother store to take the big Buddha of King Xin, and get a chance to be promoted. Of course, they will rush to this kind of good thing.

This makes it possible to speak in the patrol battalion, and the brothers' warehouse is actually more effective than Cheng Xiufeng. Cheng Xiufeng also knows this. Otherwise, why would he send his most hardcore Cheng Jiu to the periphery to build another blockade.

Cheng Jiu failed to stop Zhen No. 1, and Cheng Xiufeng actually had no chance.

As soon as the black flag side was lifted into the air, the warships under his command gave way on their own without waiting for orders. Cheng Xiufeng could only smile helplessly.

Cheng Xiufeng knew that his extravagant hopes had been completely shattered. If he dared to give another order to attack Jane, the entire patrol battalion would turn against him.

Compared with His Royal Highness King Xin, after 12 years of time, King Fu's influence on the court is really minimal. King Fu's thoughts have no chance of success. It's time for him to wake up from his dream.

Seeing that Zhen No. 1 was about to enter the channel where the patrol camp was scattered, Cheng Xiufeng, who had regained his sobriety.

He was powerless to stop King Xin, and once King Xin returned to Beijing, King Xin's hope of reaching the top was much greater than that of King Fu. If the king of faith had been jealous of his actions, he would have died without a place to be buried.

What to do?

With a roll of his eyes, Cheng Xiufeng quickly had a countermeasure in his heart.

"Come, herald. All ships lined up in a welcoming formation. Lowering the sails, dropping anchor, firing a salute. ”

When the order was issued, Cheng Xiufeng sighed in his heart: "His Royal Highness King Fu, Your Majesty has done your last bit for you." There is discord in the matter, please forgive your subordinates for thinking about it for the sake of the family. ”

The drums beat and the flags fly.

The patrol battalion warships, which had received the military order, retreated to the sides faster.

As the drums stopped, under the leadership of Cheng Xiufeng's flagship, the sails of the patrol battalion warships fell, and the anchors splashed huge splashes.

In Shen Shouyao's surprised eyes, the patrol battalion front quickly turned into a welcome array of welcome from the road. The aura in the sky instantly turned into a peaceful atmosphere.
