"Baoguang is like coming, farewell on the same day, and I won't see it for many years."

On the swallow rock of Zhidu Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Jinling, Emperor Lu greeted Deng Yuanjue with a smile. This is really an old friend. On that day, Liangshan Bo said goodbye, and after many years, he saw him again. And this great monk was also the first person to introduce the 'Rebellion Sutra' to Manichaeism.

Emperor Lu remembered this favor.

Deng Yuanjue was like a flower monk, still dressed as a monk, and bowed to Lu Qian. The treasure on the face is solemn, and what is in the heart is unknown. The pillar of air on the top of the horizontal vertical head is as light as air.

To this day, although the rebellious scripture still has many Manichaean people still follow the truth, there are also many people who feel that they have been cheated by Emperor Lu. Deng Yuanjue is one of them!

It's not that he knows that he can't do anything, he can't wait to take out the iron Zen staff and give it to the guy in front of him.

Flags are displayed around Yanziji, and the guards are surrounded by soldiers. With the arrival of Deng Yuanjue, all the guests who watched the ceremony were also gathered, and the drum and horn on the top of the swallow rock suddenly shook the sky, and the sound spread far away to Huang Tiandang - Huang Tiandang is the section of the Yangtze River in the northeast of Jinling City.

Liu Menglong, the head of the Jiangnan Water Division, and Zhang Gongyu, the deputy head of the Jiangnan Water Division, were all excited on their faces. Today is a rare occasion for their inland water masters to show their faces.

Lu Qi's sailors were divided into two parts: the inland river and the open sea, and from the perspective of Emperor Lu's strategy, it was obvious that the open sea was heavier than the inland river.

Not to mention anything else, just look at the distribution of the leaders of the Liangshan Boshui Division back then, you can know one or two, only Zhang Shun and Yi are left in the inland river, and those who are placed in the open sea are Ruan's three heroes, Li Jun, Tong brothers, etc.

Therefore, Liu Menglong and Zhang Gongyu are particularly excited today. The three heroes of the Nguyen family are mighty in the South Sea, attacking the city and plundering the land, and winning the people of the ocean, which is not majestic.

Their inland river water division has not acted all year round, and the most important Yangtze River first-line water division is that the east and west are divided into two parts, one is the Taihu Lake water division in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is the Dongting Lake water division in Jingnan. Zhang Shun is now leading people to sit in Jingzhou to guard against the enemy of Kuizhou, otherwise how could the water master who is being read today only be the Taihu Lake water master?

The swallow rock is crowded with people, and on the river under the mountain, there are also warships covering the river, and there are many sails.

Emperor Lu cooperated with the civil and military guests behind him, and watched the teams of warships on the Baguazhou River on the east side, from east to west, blocking the Yangtze River. These are his soldiers, even though they may not be able to make great contributions in their lives, but this is what he has to do.

Allowing so many people to be idle is also a manifestation of Lu Qi's strength, isn't it?

Although this inland water division is really a little useless, it is almost useless in terms of military value. The great artists of Sichuan and Shu, the only money and food used to develop the army is not enough, how can they have rich money to use to build a water division?

Therefore, the inland water division in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River seems to be a soldier, but in fact it is more of a public security patrol. At present, he has already thought of splitting the inland river water division, along the Yangtze River, as well as Taihu Lake, Poyang Lake, and Dongting Lake, putting a battalion here, and placing a part there, and he really has the idea of becoming a water security patrol.

......The sound of cannons on the river interrupted Emperor Lu's memories, and the sailor warships traveled to Yanziji, and there were twenty-five or six warships in advance. They vary in size, but all are equipped with artillery. Hundreds of artillery pieces fired in unison, what a momentum.

The south bank of the Yangtze River was all packed with people. At this time, the Yangtze River was not the narrow line of later generations, so it is said that the river surface in front of Yanziji was not as long as the eighty miles of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and it was also fifty or sixty miles long. However, the river surface of the Huangtiandang on the east side seems narrow, because there is Baguazhou, the island in the heart of the river, which fills the river road.

"It's hateful and hateful, to neglect this." In the crowd, a person from the Imperial City Division suddenly said in pain. Pointing to the gunboat on the river, he said to his companion who was suffering for unknown reasons: "If you can do more things in the inland river sailors, let the loyal and brave people board the boat, and only aim the cannon at Yanziji...... "That will not kill Emperor Lu, and it can also make him lose face in front of the people in the south of the Yangtze River."

Now, it's too late to regret it.

These people who only heard about the power of artillery in legends, but did not know the range of the artillery, and did not know that there were only gunpowder and no cannons in the gunboats read today.

"Amitabha." Deng Yuanjue announced a Buddha name. "The monk has long heard that the firearms of the heavenly soldiers are sharp, and the non-human flesh and blood can be stopped. Today, when I heard the sound and didn't see it, I felt trembling. ”

Emperor Lu laughed when he heard this, don't look at the air pillar above Monk Baoguang's head, Deng Yuanjue will also say good things. This guy knew Emperor Lu's intention to invite him to be there today. Deng Yuanjue was indeed very clear, but his eyes swept over the civil and military masters who were all smiling on the faces of Emperor Lu, especially when he saw Song Wan and Du Qian, the two old men of Liangshanbo, his psychological side could not calm down no matter what.

These two people, who were not in his eyes at the beginning, are now counts, and they are still hereditary founding uncles. It's really frustrating! Over the years, whether it is the rivers and lakes, or the battlefield, who has heard of the name of Du Qian Song Wan? But people are so blessed, at this time, they are accompanied by Emperor Lu, and the expression on their faces is not light. The temperament is also very different from when we met in Shuibo. Not to mention graceful and luxurious, but also like a mountain, calm and calm.

After this person is going to be rich and noble, it is time to pursue connotation. It's too red fruit, and you can enjoy it directly without caring about it before, but now it's too straightforward. It's like the nouveau riche and aristocracy of later generations. This is the case with Du Qian and Song Wan.

Such an ordinary person, just because he was lucky enough to get on the ride of Liangshanbo, can have today's fruits, which makes the Manichaean gang who have not yet determined the overall situation, how can they not be envious?

Straight to the swallow rock, the stone peak abruptly on the river, three sides of the sky, the end is like a swallow spreading its wings and wants to fly. The waves under the rocks were slapping on the rocks, surging and surging, and a team of warships rushed by.

The atmosphere on Yanziji is very relaxed, and the Jiangnan Inland Water Division is dominated by the Taihu Lake Water Division, with more than 300 warships and warships in front and back.

"Daqi is really a lot of soldiers. This is only half of the Yangtze River Naval Division, there are so many warships, if it is all, it should be doubled. What's more, tens of thousands of sailors and soldiers are vacant......"

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, there are not only the people of the Imperial City Division of the Southern Song Dynasty, but also the people of the Imperial City Division of the Shu Song Dynasty, all of whom are sad to see. This Emperor Lu has already sat firmly, and the gap between them will only widen in the future. Those who are discerning among them have already seen the future destruction of their own family.

Isn't it more obvious that someone cried bitterly when they saw the king make a pair of chopsticks out of ivory?

Faisal bin Abdulaziz was also on the riverside, next to Shah Rukh Afshar from Persia. The resistance between the two seems to have faded by three points, both of them had a shot in Wusongkou at the beginning, and now they have doubled their earnings.

"It's really a powerful empire." Shah Rukh muttered under his breath.

China, with its developed science and technology and prosperous civilization, is naturally incomparably stronger than the divided heavenly world. But Shah Rukh sincerely admired China's strength because of those sharp artillery. On more than one occasion at sea, he had seen Chinese gunboats easily turn unruly Chinese sailing ships, triangular boats, and other different ships into large coffins that would only float on the sea.

Ships equipped with traditional weapons are simply powerless against artillery in the face of artillery.

When he was in Guangzhou, Shah Rukh, including Faisal, and many merchants from all over the world had sought cannons. Everybody has done it before - if I can get those cannons, the sea will be my dream.

But it was clear that they all failed. Those guys who went too far were thrown into prison and confiscated their family property. His wife and daughter's relatives were all fined and confiscated as slaves.

Such a severe punishment made all those who were 'ill-intentioned' feel like cicadas.

And thinking of the 'trade route' in the past, there is no dividing line between maritime merchants and pirates on the sea. Sooner or later, the Chinese merchant ships will be equipped with this mysterious and powerful weapon, and at that time, the entire sea will be ruled by the Chinese. How can such a country, such an empire, not be strong?

Shah Rukh's eyes are only about boats in the Yangtze River, but he is thinking about the distant future.

For this reason, Faisal couldn't help but think of the future, and thought of a thought that he had inadvertently born. Oh, that's really going to be a good plan. Glancing at Shah Rukh next to him, he wanted to keep it secret, no, he thought it was wrong. The relationship between the two is not good, but Shah Rukh said bad things about himself, how credible is it? You can even make the first move!

"Of course, China is strong, and the future prospects for the hundreds of millions of people here will be even more wonderful and bright. So, Shahrukh, do you want to be a Chinese? Faisal picked up the teacup and looked like a gossip, but in fact it was extremely energetic.

Shah Rukh thought that he had heard something, but looking at Faisal's expression, that calm appearance, it was obviously not that the birdman was in a trance. I heard it right. His eyes were about to open wide.

As a Persian citizen, although he bought a property in Guangzhou and a shop in Wusongkou, Shah Rukh never wanted to become a Chinese!

He looked at Faisal with a sneer, he didn't expect Faisal, a guy from a noble background, to think so much, and when he returned to Guangzhou, he would see that he didn't shake out Faisal! Faisal must be discredited.

"Isn't it bad to be like the Pu family?" Faisal saw the mocking expression on Shahrukh's face and immediately understood his choice. But Faisal was puzzled, why?

He Faisal was a nobleman of the Omani kingdom who now wanted to be naturalized in China. That Shah Rukh was just an inconspicuous rich merchant in Persia, what did he have to be proud of? Like the Pu family in Guangzhou, the family is thriving, and the east and west are left and right, isn't it?

"The Pu family?" Shah Rukh said he was dismissive. This kind of Tianfang people, who have lived abroad for hundreds of years, are no longer pure Tianfang people. For example, the Pu hub of the Pu family, in addition to its appearance and traces of heavenly people, is like a Chinese scholar in words and deeds. Therefore, when Guangzhou compiled the household, the Pu family naturally became Chinese, and even the merchants in Guangzhou were not surprised.

The two parted happily. Faisal's servant was worried on the side: "Master, if Shah Rukh returns to Canton and speaks out...... this will deal a heavy blow to Faisal's image.

"Then let people go back to Guangzhou first, saying that Shah Rukh saw the prosperity and power of China, fell for it, and wanted to naturalize China."

Faisal's relationship with Shah Rukh was not very good, and it was not necessarily useful for Shah Rukh to 'denigrate' him, let alone make the first move.
