In the two battles of Jiaxing and Ningbo, the Franco mercenaries easily got a commission of one million taels of silver without paying any casualties, and Madeira was naturally very grateful to Chen Di. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tang Shunzhi handed over 500,000 taels of silver to Madeira and asked him to go north with Chen Di with the Francophone mercenaries. Madeira couldn't believe his ears. He thought it was another windfall, and he gladly accepted it. and promised to go north with Chen Di at any time.

The old gang leader of the Cao Gang quickly mobilized the Cao boat. Chen Di immediately took the Flying Tiger Army and the Franco Mercenary Army to the north to "King Qin".

Traveling to Shandong, a warship from Jining's river defense battalion stopped Chen Di's fleet.

Zhang Xiangong, the garrison of the Jining River Defense Battalion, went to Chen Di's warship.

This Zhang Xiangong is a veteran, with gray hair, and this person has some tendons in his brain.

Zhang Xiangong said: "Zhenhai Hou, the last general will be polite!" According to the rules of the river defense battalion, all boats passing through the Jining section of the canal must be inspected! Even the warships of the imperial court are no exception! ”

Chen Di was about to burn his eyebrows, and this Zhang Xiangong came to block his driving. He said angrily: "Ben Hou is ordered to go north!" Do you have to be examined too? ”

Zhang Xiangong said: "Even if you are ordered to be checked!" Over the years, the grain ships requisitioned by the imperial court were also ordered to go north! When you arrive at the Jining section, you still have to be inspected by the river defense battalion! ”

This Zhang Xiangong and Zhang Garrison are honest officials. The old gang leader of the Cao Gang brought private goods to Beijing for all the officials, and they had to sweat when they returned to Jining! Fortunately, Lu Lao helped to have an idea, you Zhang Xiangong is honest, but the soldiers under you are not necessarily honest. Lu Lao's gang leader spent a lot of money to buy Zhang Xiangong's subordinates, so he could go back unimpeded.

Chen Di didn't have the time or mood to buy any soldiers from the river defense battalion!

Zhang Xiangong took advantage of it, and Chen Di was helpless: "Okay, let your people check my warship!" Immediately released after inspection! ”

Zhang Xiangong immediately sent his men to inspect the ships.

After a while, a hundred general reports back: "Zhang Shoubei, something is wrong!" The more than ten boats in front of them are carrying our Ming officers and soldiers! There were more than 20 boats in the back, but they were all carrying some blue-eyed and red-haired foreigners! These people were armed with firearms! ”

Zhang Xiangong was shocked: "What? Foreigners? Carrying a firearm? Zhenhai Hou, what's going on? Will these foreigners also go north with you? ”

Chen Di said anxiously: "These are the Franji Righteous Army, and they want to go north with me to King Qin!" ”

Zhang Xiangong said: "What? Zhenhaihou went north for King Qin? The last general has never heard that there is a trouble in the capital! ”

Chen Di was a little strange: "The Tatars are about to approach the capital when they break through Datong, don't you know?" ”

Zhang Xiangong was even more confused by the second monk at this time: "Break through Datong? The last general hasn't heard of it! ”

Chen Di thought, maybe the situation in the capital was critical, and the military department forgot to send a report to the Jining River Defense Battalion in a panic.

Chen Di hurriedly said: "Listen up! These Franco-Rebels and my Flying Tiger Army are going north to King Qin! If you delay the military situation, can you afford to take this responsibility? Daming Society is in danger, do you want to be a sinner for the ages as a small river defense battalion garrison? ”

When Hu Zongxian was doing the Shandong Grain Road, he had several encounters with this Zhang Shoubei.

Hu Zongxian stepped forward: "Zhang Shoubei, I am Hu Zongxian, the former Shandong Liangtai." We've met a few times in Jinan. What Zhenhaihou said is the truth! The capital is under the threat of the Tartar Iron Hoof! These Franco-machine volunteers are going north to help us fight the Tartars! You release it immediately! ”

Zhang Xiangong was as strong as a cow: "If you can't do it, you can't do it!" How could a foreign army move unhindered in the land of the Ming Dynasty? The last general will be guarding the river defense battalion, and he will fulfill the duty of the river defense battalion garrison! Please Zhenhai Hou immediately give an order to let those foreigners lay down their firearms! I will consult with the Governor and send them out of Dengzhou Weili!" ”

Chen Di made Zhang Xiangong, a stubborn old man, angry and about to explode: "Zhang Xiangong! You.... ”

Suddenly, Chen Di thought that he still had the emperor's Longquan Sword with him! Chen Di shouted: "Come on, please take out the emperor's Longquan Sword!" ”

Chen Di said to Zhang Xiangong: "Zhang Xiangong! Do you recognize this? This is the emperor's Longquan sword! The emperor allowed me to hold this sword to behead civil officials below the second rank, and military attachés below the first rank! Don't you want your head anymore? ”

Zhang Xiangong said: "Then ask Zhenhai Hou to cut me!" Otherwise, don't want to let the boat carrying foreign soldiers cross the Jining section of the canal! ”

Chen Di said in his heart: "I didn't expect this Zhang Xiangong to be a stupid and straight person who is not afraid of death." ”

Zhang Xiangong refused to let the warships of the river defense battalion move away, and let Chen Di's fleet go. Chen Di was reluctant to really cut this stupid veteran. The two sides were at a standoff for a while.

It was Yu Dayou, a rough man, who helped Chen Di out of the siege. Yu Dayou walked behind Zhang Xiangong and slammed the back of his head with his scabbard. Zhang Xiangong fell to the ground with a bang.

Yu Dayou said to Chen Di: "Zhenhai Hou rest assured, our old Yu has a lot of strength in his hands!" The old man just passed out and would wake up in an hour! ”

Yu Dayou shouted at the opposite warship again: "The soldiers of the river defense battalion have listened!" The Marquis of Zhenhai was ordered by the emperor to go north to King Qin! Zhang Xiangong, the garrison of the river defense battalion, obstructed it in every possible way, and it has been taken by the Marquis of Zhenhai! Move your ships out of the way at once, and get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame the Flying Tiger Army's Furlong cannon for being ruthless! ”

The soldiers of the river defense battalion are all dragging their families and their garrisons have been arrested, who wants to fight the world-famous Flying Tiger Army? Besides, it was Zhenhai Hou Chen Di who led the fleet! I don't know where the garrison is bigger than Zhang Xiangong. They slid their ships to make way for Chen Di's fleet.

Chen Di said to Tang Shunzhi: "Teacher Tang, why do I feel that something is wrong? ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "Zhenhai Hou said that Zhang Xiangong didn't know about the emergency in the capital? ”

Chen Di nodded: "The Tatar soldiers are coming to the capital, what a big deal!" Although the status of the river defense battalion can't even catch up with the Weisuo army, it is always the army of the Ming Dynasty! Something so big happened, how could the military department not send them a report? ”

Tang Shunzhi said in horror: "Then... There is only one possibility left! The capital was threatened by the Tatars, and the emperor was the first to think of you, the Marquis of Zhenhai! The first time to send you the will! Then the Tatars surrounded the capital! The Tang newspaper of the Ministry of War can't be transmitted at all! ”

Chen Di was also shocked when he heard Tang Shunzhi's words: "In this way, the capital is in danger!" The order goes down, all the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army and the mercenaries of the Fur Machine, go down to the bottom warehouse, help the boatman slide the oars, and must arrive before the capital is captured! ”

Chen Di hurried to the capital. In Daxing County, south of the capital, Xia Yan was leisurely drinking a pot of tea, commanding the soldiers of the three major battalions to build a ceremonial platform. This ceremonial platform was used to welcome the triumphant return of Zhenhai Marquis Chen Di.

Zhao Zihui stood aside and said, "Lord Shoufu, welcome a little Chen Di, but you have to work for your master, so Chen Di's face is too big, right?" ”

Xia Yan snorted coldly: "What do you know?" This matter is very important, forget it, if the king is not secret, he will make the minister, if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will become harmful! I won't explain it to you! ”
