After the fleet rested for a short hour, it began to set sail, Yang Wenli moved to a large warship with a capacity of 400 materials, and the sailors on board were replaced by shipwrights and sailors who returned from Liaodong, so that the safety factor was higher.

It's just a temporary repair, it doesn't take much time, and other things can be handled on the road, and now it's a race against time, so the fleet set sail quickly under the efficient overall command of Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue.

As soon as Yang Wenli sat down in the cabin, he ordered: "Come here, invite me to bring the shipowners." ”

During the voyage, the personnel between the various ships were connected by the oars of small boats, which was faster than putting sails down the river for a short time, but it could not last.

After the time of a pillar of incense, dozens of shipowners arrived, and they respectfully bowed to Yang Wenli on the chair of the head of the emperor and said, "King"

"Hahahaha! Ship owners are polite, I am very sorry, we have caused you a lot of trouble this time, and some ship owners have also lost their ships, I am very guilty.

To tell the truth, we were originally a righteous army that wanted to go to Liaodong to fight Jiannu, but because there were no customs procedures, there was a battle with the official army, which was really not what we wanted.

We are not anti-thieves, but the matter has come to this point, and we have also been infected with the name of anti-thieves, and we are very sorry for the damage to all shipowners.

We will dock at Songjiang Port, if you are not afraid of the court to hold you responsible, I will immediately order my subordinates, settle the freight for you, and add appropriate compensation, after arriving in Songjiang, you can freely decide to stop, or you can also leave the fleet now, I hope the court will not track you down.

If there is a shipowner who is afraid of being held accountable by the court, you can go to Liaodong with us, we will ensure your safety, and ensure that you can live normally, and when the situation changes, you can return to your hometown.

The above two plans are the greatest compensation I can give you, please choose freely. ”

Yang Wenli is a person who wants to sit in the world, so he is kind to these ordinary people, and he is also generous with money, he is different from other forces, he is very independent, basically self-sufficient, money is of little use to him, so he is not stingy with money, and he will never be stingy with money to solve this matter.

Yang Wenli's two plans are both feasible, so the shipowners are divided into two factions, and some people agree to take the money and leave now, and these shipowners are relatively bold.

Some people are timid, for fear of being found out by the court afterwards, this possibility is very high, they are more inclined to follow Yang Wenli to Liaodong, although the future is uncertain, but Yang Wenli's attitude, as well as the strength of Yang Jiajun gave them confidence. Therefore, the shipowner asked cautiously: "King, can I bring my family members with me?" ”

This is not a matter at all, Yang Wenli just needs the people, and there is a large area of ownerless wasteland in Liaodong, and he needs manpower to farm to support the army. So he smiled and replied, "No problem, and I will give you land to plant." ”

In the end, 20 shipowners chose to take the money and leave, and 30 shipowners chose to follow to Liaodong, Yang Wenli immediately arranged for Li Huaixuan, the head of the logistics department, to settle the money for them, and each ship was subsidized with another 100 taels of silver, and the 20 shipowners happily thanked and left.

Now that more than 100 warships have been captured, Yang Wenli doesn't care about these small cargo ships, so he wants to settle the payment with them so that they can have a chance to avoid the government's accountability.

Although Yang Wenli is cold-blooded and ruthless, it is for the enemy, for ordinary people, whether it is an official or a citizen, good or bad, he treats people with integrity, he is not an official, so he doesn't care if these shipowners have the experience of killing people and stealing goods, and he is not qualified to pursue these crimes now, so he treats them all as honest businessmen, which is his creed of sincerity to people.

……

When Tu was very close to Nanjing, it took two hours to go down the river. This time, the size of the fleet was several times larger, and most of them were official and military battle groups, and the ships were armored soldiers, so there was no inspection department along the road to intercept and collect taxes, or they did not dare to come up to intercept them, so they passed smoothly.

Nanjing was once the capital of the Ming Dynasty, since the Yan King Zhu Di usurped the throne to seize the world, moved the capital to Beiping, Nanjing became the capital of the Beijing, is the capital of the South Zhili, the status is transcendent, in the new Jiangkou base, also stationed a fleet of up to 400 large warships of the sailor, including 250 ocean-going ships. Yang Wenli's fleet came without an order on the scale of more than 100 warships, and the Nanjing Navy Division immediately dispatched all its staff to be on alert.

Yes, it is a vigilance, the main function of the Nanjing Navy Division is to protect Nanjing, not to pursue and destroy the enemy, Nanjing is too important, no one dares to risk attacking. In addition, the water surface of the Yangtze River section of Nanjing was wide and there was enough water for the two armies to guard against each other, so Yang Wenli's fleet did not fire a single bullet or wound a single soldier, and passed Nanjing without danger.

Later, although Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, and Suzhou were all anointed places of the Ming Dynasty, because there was a Nanjing Navy Division and a Chongming Navy Division in the past, there was only a small naval fleet stationed, which could not deal with Yang Wenli's huge fleet.

After Yang Wenli's fleet passed through Nanjing, the news that the upstream Tu Shui Division was defeated by it was immediately sent to several powerful figures in Nanjing: Yan Mingtai, the military counselor of the Nanjing Military Department, Yang Chao, the eunuch of the Nanjing Inner Palace, and the Nanjing garrison minister Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yinxu.

The Nanjing garrison eunuch is the secretary of ceremonies, generally the emperor's cronies, and has a high status, so it is the head of the Yang Dynasty, Yan Mingtai and Chang Yinxu sit on the left and right, so the highest real power in Nanjing is actually the Nanjing garrison eunuch.

"Two adults, our family just received that when the Tu Shui Division was defeated by a black armor army of unknown strength, it was almost completely annihilated, this is really a great shame for my Daming, my Daming Shui Shi is powerful overseas, and there has never been a defeat, but today it has set a precedent, and the three of us have a lot of responsibilities! What do you think, but please speak up. ”

Yang Chao said in a sharp voice the reason for convening a meeting between the two of them to discuss, and asked them to find a way to solve this problem.

The failure of being a water smear was complete enough, and all the officers who were worthy of responsibility died completely, leaving this rotten beach to the three tall men to take responsibility.

"Gonggong Yang, according to the Nanjing Navy Division just now, the mysterious Black Armor Army has passed through Nanjing and gone downstream, and the headquarters estimates that the bandits want to go out of the river and into the sea, but it is not yet known where the bandits want to go." Yan Mingtai said the latest information again, but did not express his opinion, he is an old fox, good at officialdom and less talking about the way to make no big mistakes.
