In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Shaolong finally arrived in Tianjin City, and Su Can, Iron Tower, Li Chengke and Aixin Haoran, who had already received the report, had already lined up outside the north city to greet him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, Aixin Haoran didn't have to go outside the city to greet him in person, after all, his identity was not in line with this ceremony. He smiled and told Su Can: "I am already a member of Yejiabao, and now I am the commander of the army, where is there a reason for me not to pick up Ye Shaolong." The past is always the past, and I am not the original me, so I have to meet it. ”

Aixin Haoran said very vaguely, but Su Can and Li Chengke understood what he meant. Since the little emperor has chosen to start over, Su Can and the others naturally don't need to be entangled, they do whatever they like, and they don't say much.

The generals in the army gathered, and Ye Shaolong did not hold the big one, so he got out of the carriage outside the city and walked into Tianjin City with everyone, and went to the mansion.

Su Can was one step behind Ye Shaolong, and whispered in the back: "Ye Shuai, why did you come suddenly, everything is going well in Tianjin City, and nothing major has happened!" ”

Ye Shaolong's sudden arrival made everyone have doubts in their hearts, and everyone understood that things were not so simple.

"The Wokkers may come tomorrow." Ye Shaolong replied without replying.

Su Can and the others behind him were stunned when they heard this, and Li Chengke exclaimed in surprise: "The Japanese are coming, how many people are there, and where are they coming from?" ”

Ye Shaolong stopped, turned to look at Li Chengke and said, "There are thousands of people from the sea. ”

After a pause, Ye Shaolong said again: "Go to the port!" ”

"Yes!"

When the crowd learned that thousands of would-be pirates were coming, they were shocked. Moreover, it came from the sea, and everyone present knew that the sea was now the biggest weak point of the Yejiabao army, which meant that there was no defense capability at all on the sea.

The tower walked a few steps briskly to lead the way in front, and the group walked towards the east city by the sea without saying a word.

The harbor of Tianjin City is connected to the city, and there are turrets built on the high places around the port, and a large open space has been sorted out in the middle. This should have been the place that was previously used to stack goods!

From this irregular clearing, you can see the prosperity of this place, but unfortunately it has obviously been abandoned for a long time. There were no ships in sight in the harbor, and the whole sea level was empty.

Ye Shaolong frowned and pointed to the port and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you see any ships, if I'm not mistaken, there should have been a navy stationed here before." Even if it's deserted now, it's not like you can't even see a broken ship, right? ”

Su Can and the four of them immediately showed an embarrassed look on their faces, they didn't know what was going on here before? But they knew that when the city was broken here, it was indeed as Ye Shaolong thought, there were still a few ships.

No one stood up to answer, and in the end, it was Su Can who was pushed out: "Dashuai, there were indeed a few ships here before, but when we broke the city, the Seventh Prince had already escaped from the sea by boat." All the ships and what he could take were loaded and taken away by him, including the sailors. ”

Ye Shaolong sighed lightly, and didn't blame Su Can for them, the Seventh Prince obviously had a plan, so it was strange that there was something left.

Stunned for a moment, Ye Shaolong turned his gaze to those turrets, hesitated and walked away. Su Can and the four of them followed closely and walked silently.

The turret is very intact, and the turret made of granite is still intact after many years. Unfortunately, there was nothing left inside, and it was empty except for the icy sea breeze that kept blowing in from the muzzle of the cannon.

A look of disappointment jumped on Ye Shaolong's face, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Pull the ten cannons in our army and place them in the turret." ”

After a pause, Ye Shaolong asked worriedly, "How many shells are left?" ”

The artillery battalion is under the command of Su Can, and he stepped forward to reply: "There are only about 100 rounds, and I didn't bring many shells with me in a hurry this time." If it is not enough, I can only order someone to go back to Yejiabao now, but it will take two days at the earliest, and I don't know if I can make it in time. ”

Ye Shaolong decided without thinking about it: "Immediately order someone to go to Yejiabao to pull, not only to bring shells, but also to bring more gunpowder and ammunition." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it immediately." Su Can was ordered to retreat first.

Ye Shaolong looked at the iron tower again, and said in a deep voice: "You take the cavalry battalion and search the nearby sea area to see if there are any fishing villages, looking for people who are familiar with the sea." The people of the city should also look for it, and collect all the big and small boats, the more the better, any boat. ”

"Yes!" The tower immediately clenched its fists and retreated.

Ye Shaolong looked at Li Chengke again: "Brother Li, now you immediately go to the city to gather the people and look for people who have experience in going to sea, no matter what their status, as long as they are willing to serve, they will all be given the best treatment." ”

"Yes!" Li Chengke also didn't say much, and retreated after receiving the order.

Suddenly only Aixin Haoran and Ye Shaolong were left in the turret, the two of them stood at the muzzle of the turret, overlooking the endless sea, Ye Shaolong turned to look at the taciturn Aixin Haoran, and said softly: "Do you know how many countries there are in this endless overseas land?" ”

Aixin Haoran shook his head: "I don't know! I have never been outside, since I was sensible, I have never stepped out of the Imperial City, and all I know and see is known through the recitals of the ministers. ”

Hearing this, Ye Shaolong fell silent for a while, what Aixin Haoran said was the truth, this is the sadness of the feudal dynasty. As the king of a country, he has never even gone out of the imperial city.

It's an emperor who has never seen anything with his own eyes, but he wants to rule this great land. Every day, I rely on a minister to understand the world, so that the world under the management can be good to have ghosts.

That's the truth, Ye Shaolong has nothing to say, originally he still has a stomach full of complaints to say. But he was disinterested by Aixin Haoran's words.

"Let's go, let's go back to the city."

Ye Shaolong sighed lightly and turned around to leave first. Aixin Haoran looked at the sea with a change on his face, and he suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to go overseas to see, and the outside world seemed to be calling him to go.

Gradually, the look on Aixin Haoran's face became more and more determined, and suddenly he turned around quickly and shouted at Ye Shaolong, who had already walked to the staircase, "I want to go overseas." ”

Ye Shaolong took the steps he had just taken and retracted it, and turned to look at Aixin Haoran incredulously: "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?" ”

"I want to make up for my previous regrets in my lifetime, because I was limited by my status before, so I can't do anything. But now it's different, I'm a free person, and I want to go outside and have a look. Aixin Haoran looked firm.
