Chapter 564: Surprise
Under the suspicious gaze of Youlan, Yamashita Sakurako and others, Li Hongyu and the people on the flagship of the sailor fleet kept communicating with each other with flags, and everyone was confused, and they couldn't figure out the meaning of Li Hongyu's actions.
"They have agreed to let our ship follow them to Shanghai County, and the rest of the ships will return."
Finally, Li Hongyu stopped what he was doing after being busy for a while, and said to Youlan and Yamashita Sakurako and the others with a smile, after the communication just now, the general of the flagship of the sailor fleet agreed to let other ships go back.
Li Hongyu knew that the general's heart must be full of doubts now, and he couldn't wait to know what was going on.
You must know that the flag language is a unique way of communication for sailors, and the selected flag soldiers are all reliable people who are selected by thousands of people, and outsiders cannot know at all.
However, Li Hongyu calmly communicated with the general in the flag language, presumably the general was extremely shocked in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, where could he have thought that the person who used the flag language was Li Hongyu, who founded the flag language?
Li Hongyu's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and they admired Li Hongyu a lot in their hearts, except for Youlan, no one could have imagined that Li Hongyu could know the contact information of the Ming Army's sailors.
"Look, their formation has changed." Just as Li Hongyu was saying goodbye to the people on the ship, a big man standing beside him couldn't help but point to the sailor ship in the distance and said loudly.
When Li Hongyu heard this, he looked up, and saw that the ships of the sailors were changing formations on the sea, gradually changing from the original two-horizontal queue to a two-column queue, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The horizontal formation was an offensive formation at sea, and the column formation had a salute in addition to the ordinary marching formation, and it seemed that the general on the flagship of the naval fleet knew that he was on board.
In order to make it easier to observe the situation on the battlefield, the middle and senior generals of the new army and the naval division were equipped with retractable monocular "clairvoyance", which was often referred to as a telescope in later generations, so the general on the flagship apparently saw him through the clairvoyance and recognized his identity.
Otherwise, the sailors' ships would definitely be in a vigilant formation, not this ordinary marching formation.
However, this is also good, it also saves both parties from having any unpleasant things during the voyage, and it is also convenient for Li Hongyu to act.
Faced with the kindness suddenly released by the sailor's ship, the people of Jilong Harbor were suddenly confused, not knowing what was going on, and set off back with doubts in their hearts.
An excited look appeared on Youlan's cheeks, except for Li Hongyu, she was the only one who understood the reason, which invisibly confirmed Li Hongyu's identity.
Although Youlan has long known that Li Hongyu is the famous Li Daxue, but because Li Hongyu has always been elegant, and the relationship between the two is close, she can't feel that Li Hongyu has anything special.
Now seeing the ships of the Ming army's sailors lining up on the sea to welcome Li Hongyu, Youlan has a clear understanding of Li Hongyu's power.
Youlan didn't notice that Sakurako Yamashita on the side had been secretly watching her reaction, and from her surprised and excited look, Sakurako Yamashita seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu curiously, realizing that Li Hongyu's identity was definitely not as simple as he said.
At Li Hongyu's signal, the ship he was on headed towards the fleet of sailors, and the flagship of the fleet stopped at the front of the fleet, waiting for the arrival of Li Hongyu and his party.
Soon after, Li Hongyu's boat stopped dozens of meters away from the naval division's flagship, and both sides could clearly see the situation on each other's boats.
Li Hongyu recognized at a glance that there was a burly sailor general standing alone on the deck of the sailor's flagship ship, it was none other than Bai Cheng, the chief officer of the Shanghai Navy.
When Bai Cheng saw Li Hongyu, he suddenly showed a look of surprise, and at the same time, a hanging heart finally fell, when Li Hongyu was robbed by Liu Haiying, he secretly felt annoyed and blamed himself in his heart, no matter how he said that Shanghai County was also his defense area.
Now that Li Hongyu is safe and sound, Bai Cheng can finally breathe a sigh of relief and sleep peacefully at night, no wonder the other party knows how to speak.
Li Hongyu naturally knew why Bai Cheng was the only one on the deck of the ship, and it was obvious that he was worried that he would be recognized by the other members of the sailor, so he dismissed the subordinates who were originally surrounding him, many of whom came out of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and naturally he was very familiar with Li Hongyu.
"This general is Bai Cheng, the chief officer of the Shanghai Navy Division, who are you and why did you come from the sea?"
After stabilizing his excited mind, Bai Cheng pretended to be calm and shouted loudly to Li Hongyu's ship, since the Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea had not been lifted, it was a big crime to go to sea without permission.
"Lord Bai, below is Li Sheng from Huguang, who was kidnapped by gangsters with Miss Youlan last year, and was later rescued by these brothers on the boat, and they sent me and Miss Youlan back."
Li Hongyu knew that Bai Cheng was doing a routine business, so he replied quietly, "It's convenient for Lord Bai, let us go to Shanghai County to dock." ”
"It turned out to be Li Gongzi, my family has been looking for Li Gongzi, just as we finished the drill and were about to return, Li Gongzi will go back with us!"
Bai Cheng pretended to be surprised when he heard this, deliberately glanced Li Hongyu up and down, and then said loudly, "My family will definitely be happy if they know that Gongzi has returned safely." ”
"Then there's Lord Laobai." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and agreed with the boat, and the "Lord of my family" in Bai Cheng's mouth obviously refers to him, the dignified scholar Li.
"Homecoming!" Hearing this, Bai Cheng subconsciously bowed to Li Hongyu, and then reacted that there was something wrong with him doing this, and hurriedly said loudly.
Fortunately for Bai Cheng, no one noticed his somewhat inappropriate details, and thought that he was just being polite to Li Hongyu.
Subsequently, under the guidance of Bai Cheng's flagship, Li Hongyu's ship slowly passed through the ships of the two sailors, and Li Hongyu did not show up again but chose to return to the cabin and wait, so as not to be recognized, which would be troublesome.
When Li Hongyu's ship passed through the two ships of the naval division, the ships of the naval division changed their formation again, escorting the flagship and Li Hongyu's ship back to Shanghai.
Due to the escort of the Ming army's sailors, the people on the ship where Li Hongyu was located relaxed their previous nervous mood, and this unexpected encounter with the Ming army's sailors can be said to have made a good start for Li Hongyu's trip to Shanghai County.
Two days later, Li Hongyu and his entourage arrived at the port of Shanghai County.
After two years of construction, the port in Shanghai County has taken shape, and this port is a civilian port, and there are many warehouses on the wharf, which will be used at that time.
Bai Cheng asked the rest of the ships to return to the base of the sailor first, and he personally led the flagship to send Li Hongyu to the civilian port, and led them to the station of the Customs Department after landing.
The Customs Department is located outside the county seat of Shanghai, near the civilian port, and is the core area of the Shanghai New City designed by Li Hongyu.
After the official launch of overseas trade, as one of the three major ports involved in overseas trade in Daming, the Shanghai Port Exhibition, which is backed by the canal, will pass through Fuzhou Port and Guangzhou Port, and will become the center of Daming commerce.
Du Wei is dealing with overseas trade affairs in the Customs Department, and more than two months will be the first overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty, so there have been a lot of goods 6 continue to arrive at the port of Shanghai, and he is naturally busy dealing with related affairs as the chief officer.
"My lord, General Bai is here."
Suddenly, a clerk walked into the room, bowed to Du Wei and said, "He has something important to see your lord." ”
"Something important?" Du Wei was slightly stunned when he heard this, he and Bai Cheng were both literate and martial, and their affairs were different, so he really couldn't think of anything important for Bai Cheng to discuss with him.
Then, Du Wei put down the official document in his hand and followed the official to meet Bai Cheng quickly, since Bai Cheng had something important to come, then it must be something important, otherwise Bai Cheng would never say so.
"Brother Bai, didn't you go to sea, there are still a few days to practice in terms of days, why did you come back so soon?"
In the living room, Bai Cheng was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and Du Wei said to him with a smile after entering the door, the two of them are officials in the same place, and they are already very familiar with each other, so they don't need to be polite, and they talk more casually.
"Brother Du, I have seen an adult!" Bai Cheng couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, waved his hand to signal all the people in the room to retreat, and then came to Du Wei's side and whispered.
"Have you seen the scholar?" Du Wei was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Bai Cheng in surprise, the "adult" in Bai Cheng's mouth naturally referred to Li Hongyu, no wonder Bai Cheng would end the sea drill and return to the sea early.
Since Li Hongyu was kidnapped by Liu Haiying, Du Wei often lost sleep at night because he was worried about Li Hongyu's safety, as a civil official, he knew the importance of Li Hongyu better than Bai Cheng, not only for the customs department and the sailor, but also for the imperial court.
Not to mention anything else, the importance of Li Hongyu can be seen just by the events of the Liaodong battlefield.
Who would have thought that the Liaodong battlefield, which was originally in a good situation, would be completely defeated, and Jiannu, who was beaten by Li Hongyu and lost his armor and fled in embarrassment, actually captured the two important military towns of Shenyang City and Liaoyang City in one go.
This shocked the court, and hurriedly reactivated Xiong Tingbi, who had just been recalled, and let Xiong Tingbi go out of the customs to block Jiannu in Liaoxi, and then wait for an opportunity to recover Liaodong.
I think that Li Hongyu turned the tide in the unfavorable situation of the defeat of Salhu and the lack of soldiers and major generals, and drove away the Jiannu who tried to get involved in Liaodong in one fell swoop, but it has only been two or three years since Liaodong was taken away by Jiannu.
This not only reminds people of Li Hongyu, if Li Hongyu is in charge of Liaodong, how can Jiannu be so rampant?
But then again, Li Hongyu is the new champion of the new department, the crown prince of the Wanli Emperor, who is the master of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who is the grandson of the emperor, how can he stay in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty is full of talents and officials, and Li Hongyu cannot be ranked.
This Liaodong incident alone is enough to see the gap between the officials in the court and Li Hongyu, so Du Wei does not want Li Hongyu to be robbed in Shanghai County, he is the parent official of Shanghai County, and Li Hongyu will regret it for the rest of his life if there is any accident.
