After leaving Zhenjiang Wharf, Zhang Zhun asked Peng Bo to take his team to escort the Gu family's five fortune boats, loaded with all kinds of goods, back to Aoshanwei. The supplies on Fuhai and Ninghai were also transferred to the other five ships. Traveling lightly, he took Fuhai and Ninghai and went directly to Nanjing.

From Zhenjiang to Nanjing, the distance is not very far, the river surface is also very straight, and the water flow is slow. Fuhai and Ninghai, who are lightly loaded, are a lot faster. Around the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Zhun and others appeared on the river near Nanjing. When approaching the surface of Nanjing, there are more merchant ships coming and going, most of them going down the river at a fast speed. Merchant ships, large and small, swept past Fuhai and Ninghai one after another, their bows breaking through the white waves, and the stern leaving long waves.

However, this time, neither Fuhai nor Ninghai attracted anyone's attention. Obviously, most of these merchant ships run on inland rivers, and they don't care much about the Jiangyin Inspection Division. Or, Nanjing is the former capital, and the people here are inevitably superior. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is natural that the eyes should be a little higher.

Zhang Zhun held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at Nanjing City from a distance. It was the grandest city he had ever seen. The horizon on the south bank of the Yangtze River is almost occupied by the walls of Nanjing. This is not a simple city. It was once the capital of a vast empire. Everything in this used to be the best in the world. When all nations came to court, countless merchant ships were anchored on the Yangtze River. The dense mast is said to stretch for dozens of miles, which is breathtaking.

Now, although Nanjing City has not been the capital for many years, there is no scenery in the past, but it is still one of the top cities in the Ming Empire. It's still thriving. The commercial trade here is much more prosperous than that of Jingshi. Especially now that there are frequent wars in the north, the Tartars have repeatedly entered the prison, the Beijing division has been under constant martial law, the atmosphere is solemn, the business is withering, and the city of Nanjing is more prosperous. The Qinhuai River is still the Qinhuai River, the Qinhuai River that no one in the world can match.

Suddenly, a warship appeared in front of him, blocking Fuhai's way.

"Report to your lordship, it's the warship of the left guard of the navy!"

Someone immediately recognized it.

There are two naval guards in Nanjing City, one is the left guard of the navy, and the other is the right guard of the navy, which Zhang Zhun knows. They are the largest water armed force in Nanzhili, responsible for defending the water security of Nanjing City. In its heyday, it had dozens of warships, large and small. However, after Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Yanjing, the guard force of Nanjing City gradually declined. This, of course, also includes the left guard of the navy and the right guard of the navy.

This warship of the left guard of the navy is the No. 3 fortune ship, the appearance is quite old, the sides of the ship are all dark and swarthy, and I don't know how old it is. Through the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun could even see that its sails had cracked countless cracks. The beams on the mast are also incomplete. The brand-new fortune ship, above the mast, three vertical and three horizontal, is indispensable. However, the fortune boat on the opposite side is only one vertical and one horizontal at most.

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Could it be that Nanjing learned the news so quickly? Sent warships to intercept themselves so quickly? But how could there be only one warship? Nanjing, I don't think that as long as I send a warship, I can take it down! It's still such a broken warship! What a despise yourself!

"Prepare for battle!"

Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.

All the Tiger Ben Army battles are ready for battle.

The navy's warship continued to come close.

"Enemy ships have cannons!"

Yang Guohua said in a low voice.

On the port side of the naval warship, there was actually a cannon. Oddly enough, on its starboard side, there was no cannon. It seems that a ship of this size, under normal circumstances, generally has more than ten cannons on each side of the ship. But it has only one door, and it is still unilateral. It cannot but be suspicious. Can a cannon be useful in battle? Now, this naval warship is using its port side to aim at Zhang Zhun. At the same time, on top of that warship, there were people who constantly waved flags.

"My lord, the other party wants us to stop the ship for inspection."

Yang Guohua reported to Zhang Zhun suspiciously.

If it was said that the other party had seen through the identities of Fuhai and Ninghai, he should have fired a long time ago. Fuhai was already within the range of the cannon. Strangely, the ship never fired a cannon. Even, on both sides of the cannon, not even the shadow of the gunner was seen. However, if the other party did not recognize his identity, why did he stop the ship for inspection? It's quirky.

"Get over there!"

"Everyone, wait a minute, get ready to jump to the gang!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

He didn't know what the other party was going to do, but it was necessary to be prepared. As long as you are within the range of the Tiger Gun, you don't have to fear the opponent's cannons. What's more, the other side has only one cannon. A cannon, Zhang Zhun really doesn't pay attention to it. A cannon, even if it can fire three shells in one minute, is not a problem at all!

Yang Guohua gave an order, and Fuhai and Ninghai quietly separated, and slowly leaned up from both sides of the Fuship. The distance between the two sides was shortened to less than 80 zhang. Soon, the eyes of everyone on the other boat fell into Zhang Zhun's eyes.

Zhang Zhun suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "Guohua, others treat us as big fish." ”

Yang Guohua also saw it at this time, and the other party wanted them to stop the boat, obviously to extort. They didn't want to fight the Tiger Army at all, but treated them as ordinary merchant ships, wanted to intercept them, and then extort a filial piety fee. Damn, I was blackmailed in the Jiangyin Inspection Department, and I was also blackmailed on the water surface in Nanjing, and there is no end!

The distance between Fuhai and the other party is getting closer and closer, and both sides can see each other clearly with the naked eye. On the boat of the left guard of the naval forces there were two commanders. The one on the left, not like an officer, but like a second-rate man, is still wearing armor. The one on the right, with a straight waist and a relatively neat armor, looks like a serious naval officer. He seems to be just an adjutant or something, though. The one on the left is the real number one. Around the two, there were more than a dozen sailor soldiers, all holding arquebuses in their hands.

Two of them were very long, super big squirting guns, which caught Zhang Zhun's attention. This kind of large spray gun is a heavy gun used by the Ming army, with a caliber of about 30 mm and a firing range of up to 200 meters. A shot is enough to kill a war horse. However, it was too heavy for a soldier to handle. One person had to carry it in front and one person shot in the back. Therefore, the Ming army did not popularize its use universally. To be precise, the Great Spray should be a weapon that has been obsolete. I didn't expect it to appear here, which is really surprising! The ruined fortune boat, the ancient big spray gun, is this the left guard of the Ming army?

"Bang!"

Fuhai took the lead and slowly approached the other party's ship.

Those sailors immediately ran over with arquebuses and tried to control Fuhai.

"Ahh

Suddenly, someone screamed.

"Bang!"

The arquebuses in their hands all fell to the deck.

"Ahh

Someone was hit on the top of his foot by his own arquebus, and he screamed.

It turned out that before they had time to climb over the guardrail, they suddenly found that their brains had been pointed at by countless black holes. At first, they thought it was a hallucination and subconsciously rubbed their eyes. Immediately, it turned out that this was not an illusion, but a solid existence. Hundreds of Tiger Ben soldiers appeared in front of them and easily captured them all.

"Lay down your arms!"

"Hands up!"

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army worked together, and if they divided five by two, they completely disarmed these sailors. Some of the sailors who were slow to react were knocked to the ground on the spot.

Liu Dong led the soldiers of the sailor detachment to quickly climb over the guardrail and take control of the old fortune ship. Some of the sailors who were originally left on the Fu boat were kicked to the ground by Liu Dong and others before they had time to light the fire rope.

The commanders of the two naval armies were dumbfounded and looked at all this in front of them blankly.

What's going on?

Why did an army suddenly appear on the other side's ship?

Almost at the same time, Ning Hai also approached the lucky ship from the other side. Fang He and the soldiers of the sailor detachment also quickly climbed over the guardrail and broke directly into the cabin below the Fu ship. The other sailors on this ship were also completely dumbfounded. They were originally hunting, but they didn't expect to be beaten instead. They had no idea what the other party was about.

It took a long time before someone shouted repeatedly: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we are the people of the left guard of the navy!" We are the people of the left guard of the navy! Ouch! We are the left guard of the navy, don't fight! Ouch! You're killing me! ”

Zhang Zhun jumped over the guardrail and came to the front of the two sailor commanders, looking at each other coldly.

The blue-faced commander of the navy, cold sweat could be faintly seen on his forehead, he barely stabilized his thoughts, and stammered: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we are the people of the left guard of the navy, we are the people of the left guard of the navy!" What part are you? What did you do in Nanjing? ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "The left guard of the navy? Are you embarrassed to say that you are the left guard of the navy? ”

The two sailor commanders looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Zhang Zhun raised his voice and said coldly: "Let me ask you, what is going on with your ship and your cannons?" What are you doing here? ”

The sailor commander on the left changed his face and asked in horror, "My lord is from Jingshi?" ”

Zhang Zhun frowned.

Jingshi came down?

Do you think I'm from Jingshi?

Well, since you think so, then I'm from Jingshi.
