Chapter 490: The Parting Ferry
readx;
In the first battle of Yangzhou, the sacrifice was huge, and Duoduo slaughtered the city for five days, almost the whole city was bloodied. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Zhu Qing relied on his future memory to rescue in time, and wiped out Duoduo in Shatuo Bay, and finally avoided the tragedy of Yangzhou for ten days. However, in the face of a ruined city, Zhu Qing and others still sighed endlessly, the former prosperity is no longer there, maybe one day, it will be like Qin Xiang said, "in the next fireworks March full of spring". However, this moment will become a scar that Yangzhou people can never erase.
"The aftermath of Yangzhou, Lord Lao Shi has a lot to worry about." At the South Gate Ferry of Yangzhou, Zhu Qing hugged his fists and said to Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa nodded, "Rest assured, after this catastrophe, Shi has a lot of feelings, thank you for your timely help, otherwise I am afraid that there will never be Yangzhou again, Shi will definitely personally supervise the production and reproduce the prosperity of Yangzhou as soon as possible." β
"To rebuild the town, first rebuild the hearts of the people." Zhu Qing said seriously.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod. Shi Kefa looked at Zhu Qing with satisfaction, nodded and patted him on the shoulder, "Master Zhu, you have really grown up......"
Shi Kefa said this sentence because he thought of the time when he was a guard in the Zhu family a few years ago, when the Zhu family had not yet suffered a tragedy, and the eldest young master of the Zhu family, Zhu Qing, was no different from other high-flying and domineering playboys, but now it seems that the young man who used to bully and dominate the market has now grown into a Ming general who defends the family and the country. No one knows what kind of opportunity time and space give this teenager, so that a future teenager and a historical teenager will merge and rejuvenate at a certain moment.
Although Zhu Qing didn't know much about the past of the Zhu family, he sometimes vaguely felt that the glory and humiliation of that family flashed in his body.
"Being young and frivolous made Master Shi laugh." Zhu Qing didn't want to explain more, so how could he explain it? Tell these people that they're from the 21st century?
"General, it's not too early, it's time to hit the road." The guards outside Qinglongmen Town reminded him.
The crisis in Yangzhou has been solved, but Zhu Qing and Qinglongmen cannot return to Beijing, and something happened in Sichuan. Sichuan Chen Jiujin entrusted someone to bring a secret report, saying that someone was making trouble in Sichuan, and the entire merchants were panicked, so they asked Jinyiwei to investigate.
Who is this Chen Jiujin? As mentioned earlier, it is a famous wine merchant, Chen Jiujin, the richest man in Sichuan. In order to make some money from these wealthy businessmen to buy grain for the people of Kaifeng, carry out land reform, and put pressure on Li Zicheng, Zhu Qing met Chen Jiujin in the Mandarin Duck Building in Kaifeng City, and the two also drank together, but not only did they take down Chen Jiujin in dozens of bowls, but also made Chen Jiujin, a local tyrant friend. Later, the land reform in Kaifeng and Sichuan and other places was carried out smoothly, and Chen Jiujin made great contributions.
Now that friends are in trouble, whether they are public or private, Zhu Qing will not stand idly by. Moreover, Zheng Chenggong went north to the mainland this time, originally to support the imperial army to fight the Tartars, but he hurried and hurried, the Tartars have now run and died, and Zheng Jiajun has no big task for the time being, so he wants to do some business with the mainland at this time. Listening to Zhu Qing talk about Chen Jiujin, Zheng Chenggong took the opportunity to meet in disguise, maybe he can still do business, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to compare Alishan rice wine with Zigong small sorghum. So Zheng Jiajun decided not to return to Taiwan for the time being, and planned to go to Sichuan with Jinyiwei to meet Chen Jiujin, a wealthy businessman in Sichuan, to look for business opportunities.
Zhu Qing heard that a Western guest was visiting Taiwan the day before yesterday, and originally persuaded Zheng Chenggong to return to Taiwan as soon as possible, but Zheng Chenggong repeatedly asked for it, and there was still Zheng Zhilong in Taiwan, so it should be fine, so he agreed to Zheng Chenggong's invitation to accompany him.
After saying goodbye, Jin Yiwei and Zheng Jiajun were about to march along Jiangxi. Now that the fleet of Jinyiwei and Zheng Jiajun is neat and well-equipped, the waterway should be a good choice, although the more you go up, the more difficult it is to go, but both groups of people have decided to drive the ship in first, where to go, after all, in case of any emergency, there is one more way to choose, right?
"Hey, hey, the movements are all quick, don't bring what you shouldn't bring, and we'll pass through Yangzhou when we come back." Zheng Chenggong commanded his subordinates.
Zhu Qing has handed over all the Yangzhou finances snatched back from the Tartars to Shi Kefa's hands, which can make the reconstruction of Yangzhou not too difficult, but there are several waves of people in the team today, and it is inevitable that there will be a few long hands and feet. Zheng Jiajun is okay, the soldiers are just curious about Yangzhou's specialties, but the Shark Gang is different, these people are used to reaching out, not to mention taking it, even robbing it, and they feel that these finances have part of their credit, because the Shark Gang also pays a heavy price in Shatuo Bay.
Boss Sha turned a blind eye to this matter, pirates, those little money are nothing, and Zhu Qing and others also think so, but a few people have indeed gone a little too far, and they have led a lot of sheep! It's hard to watch.
Soon, there was a quarrel at the ferry, mainly because the black man's men reported that the Shark Gang was not blocked!
This thing originally belonged to the people of Yangzhou, and now that Yangzhou has suffered such a heavy blow, it is when money is needed to rebuild, and the black evil can't see others taking advantage of the danger and falling into the well. After listening to the report, I went up to the Shark Gang and taught a few lessons.
The Sharks are also mixed up, so they are not happy now. The knife came towards the black evil, but fortunately, Boss Sha found it in time and hurriedly stopped drinking.
After hearing the situation, Boss Sha didn't blame his subordinates and walked towards Heisha.
This old and young face to face, their faces are not happy, you must know that they have old hatreds, when the Sharks were forced to flee from the coast to the sea, all thanks to the black evil. What's the blame? It's just a moment and a moment. Originally, after a stop in Shatuo Bay, the Shark Gang and Jinyiwei could be regarded as sharing weal and woe, and this matter has passed, but now it is suddenly on the bar again?
Boss Sha stared at Heisha and sneered, "I said Heisha, your face is turning very fast, the person hasn't left yet, this tea is cold." The words you said to the people of Yangzhou in the central square yesterday made my boss Sha very impressed, and I wondered at the time, when did you know how to speak so bitterly? But now? You can't help but beat up my Shark brothers, you were able to talk about it yesterday, but you can't talk to them today? β
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to tell them, they know the rules, and they know the rules and do it, that is knowingly committing a crime, for such a person, do I still need to say it?" But the black slash was unmoved, he smiled coldly, and he didn't intend to apologize to the people who beat the Shark Gang.
"Hey, you mean my brother should be beaten, right? This beating is in vain, isn't it? After hearing this, Boss Sha suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he teased the shark teeth in his hand. How can he say that he is also the leader of the Shark Gang, if he can't even earn back the faces of his brothers, how will he mix in the future?
"And what do you want?" The black evil is as cold as ever, white and underworld, he has seen too many fierce gods or quiet bosses, but he is never afraid, he can drive the shark gang to the sea before, and there is no reason to be afraid at this time.
"Apologies!" Boss Sha pretended to shout.
These words made the people around Heisha can't help but smile for a while, Boss Sha is really funny, only I have heard that others apologize to Heisha, and I have never seen Heisha being forced to apologize to others.
The reaction of others made Boss Sha feel a little bottomless, he had fought with Heisha, to be honest, if it really started, he couldn't do Heisha alone.
"What do you say? It was so quiet that I didn't hear it. The black demon chuckled lightly and walked towards the sand boss.
Boss Sha suddenly felt a faint sense of evil coming to his face, of course, he knew that in front of Zhu Qing, Hei Sha would not dare to do anything to himself.
But Boss Sha couldn't help but retreat, and began to play tricks, "Hey, what do you want to do?" Hit someone! Jin Yiwei beat people, it really responded to the old saying 'rabbit dead dog cooking'! As he spoke, Boss Sha deliberately looked over to Zhu Qing's side.
Zhu Qingzheng said goodbye to Shi Kefa and the others, he didn't have to ask about this kind of thing, but Heisha and Sha Boss, the old and the young, a small boss and an old naughty boy, the two of them made such a fuss, it was difficult to guarantee that nothing would happen, if the Jinyiwei and the Shark Gang really did it, it would be bad.
"Hey, Boss Sha seems to be talking to you, hahaha......" Shi Kefa saw Boss Sha's acting skills at a glance, so he smiled at Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing shook his head, sighed lightly, and walked over.
"Black." Zhu Qing said a word about his own person first, and the black evil took back his aggressive body.
Zhu Qing walked to Boss Sha's side, stretched out his hand to help Boss Sha who pretended to fall, and smiled lightly, "Boss Sha, are you okay?" β
"General, fortunately you arrived in time, I'm fine, but he beat a few of my brothers." Boss Sha replied.
Zhu Qing shook his head and smiled, and said to Sha Lao Dao, "They have taken too much, even I can't stand it." β
After hearing this, Boss Sha's face was shocked, "Is it much?" β
Zhu Qing patted Boss Sha on the shoulder, pulled him closer to him, and whispered in his ear, "Don't think I don't know how many boxes there are under Shatuo Bay, who are those that are not yours?" People have to know that some people don't have a place to live......"
Zhu Qing's words really stunned Boss Sha. I thought I could fish in troubled waters, but I didn't expect that Zhu Qing still remembered the gold and silver in Shatuo Bay!
Seeing that Sha Boss was stunned, Zhu Qing let go of his hand and patted Sha Boss on the shoulder again, "Okay, even if this matter is over, just treat it as the Shark Gang to do good deeds for the people of Yangzhou, okay?" Zhu Qing deliberately said it loudly so that everyone could hear it. Now it's hard for Boss Sha to say anything, I'm afraid that he won't even be able to catch the gold and silver at the bottom of the river.
"Yes, yes, the general's lesson is ......" Boss Sha finally greeted him with a smile.
That's the end of it. When Zhu Qing walked back to the boat, Boss Sha's entourage asked puzzledly, "Big brother, why don't you forget it?" β
"Yes, those are the ...... that our brother exchanged for his life."
"Shut up!" Boss Sha suddenly shouted, "Our lives are our lives?" Don't say it, the box at the bottom of the river Qinglong knows, and he can't get anything out of it! β
Boss Sha said this, and the people of the Shark Gang didn't dare to mention the matter of property again.
"Boss Sha, you really don't plan to go with us?" Zhu Qing, who returned to the shore, turned around and shouted to the sand boss who was muttering to his subordinates.
Boss Sha turned his head to look, smiled and waved his hand, "No, the brothers are used to staying at sea, and they are not used to going into the mountains, so let's go back to the sea." β
When Zhu Qing, Shi Kefa and the others heard this, they looked at each other and smiled.
"My lord, are you really not going to catch the Shark Gang?" Zhu Qing asked Shi Kefa seriously.
Shi Kefa nodded, and after a moment, he suddenly said again, "However, if he Sha Boss doesn't want to change his mind and still does illegal things, I, Shi Kefa, don't arrest him this time, and he won't be so lucky next time." General Qinglong won't protect him all the time, right? Shi Kefa looked at Zhu Qing and smiled meaningfully.
After hearing this, Zhu Qing also smiled, "If that's the case, Zhu Qing will never tolerate it." β
As he spoke, Zhu Qing shouted at Boss Sha, "Boss Sha, did you hear that?" Master Shi said that if he committed it again, he would be caught. β
"Huh?" Boss Sha deliberately exclaimed, "Who will you send to arrest?" β
"Me!" The black slash replied coldly.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
"Don't you dare, don't you dare, can't we shark gang fish well?" Sha Lao Lian waved his hand in response. and the crowd burst out laughing.
After sending off the Shark Gang, Zhu Qing and the others finally got on the boat this time, because the injury had not healed during the game, it was not suitable for a long journey, and he still had unfinished business in Yangzhou, so he followed Qin Xiang to stay in Yangzhou temporarily.
Zhu Qing and Sai Shi are like brothers, there is no need to say much at this time, brothers hug each other, everything is in plain sight.
Zhu Qing wanted to say goodbye to Qin Xiang, but before he could speak, Qin Xiang suddenly threw himself into Zhu Qing's arms, which made Zhu Qing suddenly at a loss.
"Good brother, sister thank you for the people of Yangzhou, you must take care of my sister Chen, otherwise I won't be able to get around you!" Qin Xiang hugged Zhu Qing and admonished, everyone was startled at first, and then laughed heartily.
Only then did Zhu Qing gently pat Qin Xiang's back, nodded and responded, "Don't worry, we will be fine, you should take care of yourself, if Qin Xianglou reopens, don't forget to inform me." β
"Don't worry, you are a guest, my sister will be the first to pick you up!" Qin Xiang said and smiled at Zhu Qing lightly, causing everyone to laugh.
"Second, third...... Aren't you looking forward to your Blue Dragon Hero? Sister gives you a chance! Qin Xiang suddenly screamed, and when Zhu Qing and the others heard it, they were immediately shocked.
The sisters of Qin Xianglou, the second and third children, suddenly pounced.
But when he arrived in front of Zhu Qing, no one dared to take a step forward.
These girls used to be able to throw themselves into their arms, but when the man they admired stood in front of them, they were at a loss, and at this moment, for them, heroes were used to admire.
"Thank you!" Zhu Qing thanked these girls in Qin Xianglou slightly, compared to those who watched coldly, these businesswomen who were said by the world to be hated by the world who did not know the hatred of the country have never been so charming.
After receiving Zhu Qing's thanks, they seemed to be content, and they felt that they had never been so respected.
"Thank you, Qinglong, take care." The second said sincerely, and then took the sisters back.
But there is one person who does not want to go back, and this person is the third child!
"The third?" The second one shouted.
"Huh?" The third child seems reluctant to leave.
When Qin Xiang and Chen Yuanyuan saw it, they pursed their lips and smiled.
Zhu Qing looked at the usually smug third child standing in front of him like a little girl at a loss, he walked forward and hugged the third child into his arms!
The crowd screamed.
"Third child, you let me understand what it means to be a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, take care." Zhu Qing hugged the third child and said gratefully, if it weren't for the third child, the fireworks alley plan and the plan to rescue the mother and son of the Yue family would have failed, and things would not have gone so smoothly.
"Hero ......" the third child was so excited that he couldn't express it.
"Okay, hug enough, if you hug it again, Miss Chen will be a vegetarian!" Qin Xiang said with a smile, and the third child let go of Zhu Qing at this time.
The goodbye scene is always reluctant, and after Zhu Qing said goodbye one by one, this time he finally turned around and got on the boat. But when he just took a step, he was shouted, "Qinglong Hero, Sister Chen......" is the child's voice!
Zhu Qing and Chen Yuanyuan looked back and saw that it was the mother and son of the mother-in-law and the eldest brother and son who hurried over.
Zhu Qing's footsteps couldn't help but be retracted.
The two children ran hard and pounced on Zhu Qing and Chen Yuanyuan.
"Qinglong Hero, are you leaving?" The Emperor asked with tears in his eyes.
Zhu Qing wiped the child's tears and nodded, "The Qinglong hero still has to fight the bad guys, the eldest brother is obedient, accompany your mother well, and protect your mother from being bullied by the bad guys!" β
"Hmmm! I will definitely practice hard with Yue Hong to protect our family! The emperor said, and walked towards Chen Yuanyuan again, and Yue Hong also walked towards Zhu Qing.
"Sister Chen......" The eldest brother hugged Chen Yuanyuan and cried, it was Chen Yuanyuan who made him see the warmth of the world in his indifference.
"Qinglong Hero, can you stay and teach me to practice the Yue family gun? I want to be a soldier! Yue Hong looked at Zhu Qing quietly and asked.
Zhu Qing smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe away Yue Hong's tears, he could always feel something different from this child's eyes.
"Yue Hong! General Shi will teach you the Yue family gun, and when you have practiced the Yue family gun, when the time comes, the Qinglong hero will let you be soldiers! Zhu Qing responded.
"Good! Hook! Yue Hong nodded, stretched out his hand, the eldest brother also stretched out his hand, and the two children pulled up the hook with Zhu Qing.
"Qinglong Hero, we will definitely practice the Yue family gun!" Yue Hong said firmly.
"Alright, children, thank our benefactors, don't delay their trip any longer!" At this time, Mrs. Yue suddenly knelt down! The eldest brother's mother suddenly knelt down, and for a while, the people who poured out of the south gate to see off knelt down one after another......
"This ......" Zhu Qing and the others were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Yue.
"General, you rescue Yangzhou, the villagers can't repay it, so let's see the soldiers." Mrs. Yue was reluctant to get up.
Zhu Qing looked at Shi Kefa beside him.
Shi Kefa nodded slightly, "You better leave early, otherwise, they really can't afford to kneel for a long time." Shi Kefa seems to know the people of Yangzhou very well.
After Zhu Qing heard this, he nodded helplessly, he finally touched Yue Hong's head, and suddenly got up and ordered, "Go!" β
This time, they finally got on board.
"Take care, folks, take care!" Zhu Qing stood on the Qinglong and waved.
"Let's go!" The black slasher gave a cold shout, and the fleet slowly left the shore.
Shi Kefa and the others and the people of Yangzhou watched Zhu Qing leave the ferry as soon as they drove away.
"Huh? Where do you seem to have seen this man? In the crowd, a woman said.
βwhatοΌβ The one who answered was a foreigner.
"Big brother and sister-in-law!" The couple was spotted in the crowd.
"Who are they?" Qin Xiang wondered.
"They are the benefactors who saved my life in the alley that night......" Sai Shiqian took Qin Xiang's hand and looked for the couple.
It's just that the crowd is crowded, and they are quickly dispersed......
