Looking at the crowded Zhifu Island wharf, Zhu Youzhen was a little stunned. He really didn't expect that there would be such a prosperous scene here on Zhifu Island. It seems to be a little more lively than the docks in Dengzhou.

"Xiao Shen, who is the inspection department of Zhifu Island?"

Seeing that although the crowd of people coming and going on the wharf was large but not chaotic, and that it had its own set of rules in the complexity, Zhu Youzhen had a lot of interest in the managers of Zhifu Island.

"Inspection Department inspection?"

Shen Shouyao was stunned when he heard this, and he had just finished the review in his heart, and he thought for a moment before carefully answering: "Your Highness, there is no inspection department on Zhifu Island." ”

"No inspection department? So who's running this place now? Zhu Youzhen felt strange in his heart.

In a gathering place like Zhifu Island, which is composed of a large number of floating populations, the Ming Dynasty generally sets up an inspection department to manage it. There is no inspection department on Zhifu Island, is it still directly managed by the health office?

Before Zhu Youzhen finished thinking about it, Shen Shouyao told him the final answer.

"Your Highness, Zhifu Island is just a fishing village. It was a spontaneous berthing for merchant ships, and the imperial court did not set up an inspection department. This place is still organized and managed by the village elders. ”

Villagers in management?

Hearing this answer, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

What kind of village elders, I'm afraid that the caravans that often take this waterway are managing here.

"Who's responsible for the safety of this place? Xiao Shen, with so many merchant ships gathered here, it's impossible not to attract people's eyes, right? What if a robber shows up? Rely on the local archer Ding Zhuang? ”

Asked about the security of Zhifu Island, Zhu Youzhen felt a little heavy in his heart. Shen Shouyao didn't say that he could also think that if the caravan here was not armed, I am afraid that this place would have been robbed by pirates a long time ago.

"Safe here?"

When it comes to military matters, Shen Shouyao is obviously much more familiar. Without thinking about it, he began to answer: "Your Highness, the security of this place is the responsibility of Dengzhou Wei. ”

Raising his hand to the east, Shen Shouyao's eyes began to glow.

"Over there, on Yantai Mountain over there, there is a wolf smoke pier platform of Dengzhou Wei. There are also guards set up by Grandpa Qi at the foot of the mountain. Although many soldiers in the military village have been cut off, there are still dozens of people stationed there.

If there is really an enemy attacking, together with the wolf smoke, we can come to Denglai with the navy.

Your Royal Highness, there is the wolf smoke pier platform of Yantai Mountain, who dares to come here? ”

Speaking of these military deployments, Shen Shouyao's spirit and spirit were completely different.

After hearing this, the heaviness in Zhu Youzhen's heart disappeared.

Although Zhifu Island is administratively self-governmental, it is still completely controlled by the Ming military militarily. The Ming court hasn't arrived home yet!

It's just that in such a prosperous place, the Ming Dynasty didn't even set up an inspection department, this is caused by the power behind the caravan, right?

Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt a little more worried in his heart. He wants to build Yantai Port, and the forces behind these caravans are some variables that cannot be ignored.

It is necessary to find out the details of these caravans. Zhu Youzhen quickly made up his mind in his heart.

"Who are those?"

When I looked up, I saw several people hurrying on the dock, and it seemed that they were rushing to this sea boat. Zhu Youzhen was a little curious.

"They're probably contacting local merchants to replenish supplies, right?"

Looking at the clothes of those people, Shen Shouyao guessed uncertainly. It's just that when it comes to replenishing supplies, Shen Shouyao unconsciously pauses.

The cable was tightened, and the ship was firmly attached to the shore.

Before the gangplank on the boat was set up, the people running from the shore couldn't wait to ask, "Is it Shen Shouyao Shen Zong's boat?" ”

Yo, I'm looking for Shen Shouyao. It seems that Xiao Shen is still very familiar with people here. I don't know if there are any romantic debts that have not been offset?

Hearing the shout, the fire of gossip in Zhu Youzhen's heart was raging, and he looked at Shen Shouyao with great meaning.

Facing Zhu Youzhen's inquiring gaze, Shen Shouyao was completely confused.

"Your Highness, I really don't have any acquaintances here."

didn't bother to answer the questions under the boat, Shen Shouyao explained to Zhu Youzhen first.

Shen Shouyao himself didn't realize that if he put aside his previous temper, even if it was yesterday, if someone asked him like this, he would answer it first. But after Fang Cai's careful review, Shen Shouyao's mentality has made great progress, and he can already calm down and think about more things.

Hearing Shen Shouyao's words, Chu Tianxing whispered in Zhu Youzhen's ear and persuaded: "Your Highness, this place is unfamiliar, we still need to be careful." ”

The brow furrowed slightly, and then it loosened. Zhu Youzhen ignored Chu Tianxing, he said with a smile: "Xiao Shen, don't you hurry up and respond, maybe there is a confidante looking for you." ”

"I'm Shen Shouyao, who is looking for me?"

glanced at Zhu Youzhen angrily, stretched out his hand to signal the sailor to put down the gangplank, and Shen Shouyao came to the side of the ship in a few steps and responded loudly.

"It's really Shen Shouyao's boat, it's great. Find Shen Shouyao. ”

Hearing Shen Shouyao's response, several people on the shore burst into joy. No one talked to Shen Shouyao anymore, and a few people turned around and ran, flashing Shen Shouyao on the side of the boat.

What's going on?

Seeing this scene, everyone on the boat felt a little confused.

"Your Highness, it's better that we don't get off the ship for the time being."

While speaking, Chu Tianxing quietly stood beside Zhu Youzhen, and used his generous body to cover most of Zhu Youzhen's figure.

"Okay, let's wait a minute."

Looking at the direction where a few people were running, Zhu Youzhen showed a thoughtful look.

It seems that someone is waiting for Shen Shouyao on a special trip, but I am afraid that every time the ship comes, they will ask. Who would be waiting for Shen Shouyao?

There was not much time, and a team of Ming soldiers in red military uniforms rushed out from which direction.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, although the light was relatively dim, Zhu Youzhen could vaguely see that this team of Ming army uniforms was by no means an ordinary Ming army.

In the past few days since he left Beijing, Zhu Youzhen has seen several Ming troops.

Among these Ming troops, the worst costume was Lushun Zhangpan.

Many of the Ming army in Lushun did not even have the most basic red shirts of the Ming army. The few pieces of the soldiers were all tattered and filthy, and even the original color of their clothes could not be seen. In terms of clothing alone, the Lushun Ming Army really does not look like the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.

The neater costume is Hiroshima Shen Yourongbu.

Shen Yourong's subordinates, compared to clothing alone, are really much stronger than Lushun Ming's army. The Ming army of Shen Yourong's department each had a red shirt. Although most of the color has been washed and is a little whitish, the degree of cleanliness is the highest that Zhu Youzhen has seen.

The Ming troops in Dengzhou and Tianjin Port are more similar to Shen Yourong's department, but the cleanliness of their clothes is generally not as good as that of Shen Yourong's department.

Among the Ming troops that Zhu Youzhen has seen, the most decent costume is, of course, the Ming Forbidden Army garrisoning the imperial city.

Those Han generals in the forbidden army are even brighter in armor. Coupled with the sturdy figure of the Han general, to that station, it is more majestic than anyone else.

But when it comes to the real combat power, Zhu Youzhen feels that the combat power of the forbidden army in these Ming armies is probably going backwards.

The Ming troops who came from the shore were fully dressed and clean. Since leaving Beijing, Zhu Youzhen has only seen Shen Yourong and Yuan Keli's personal soldiers.

The person who came to look for Shen Shouyao, could it be that Shen Yourong's body had a problem?
