Uncle Liu's subordinates who lost the ship had extremely different reactions.

The first to be found were the sailors of Pukou, who had spent a day of drinking, and when they returned to the docks, they were dumbfounded when they saw that all the boats had disappeared, and then they took the merchant sailors and questioned them, and after asking them, they all thought that their ships had been stolen.

These boats are Uncle Liu's boats, and their first reaction was to be leng, someone dared to steal Uncle Liu's boat! The second reaction was to be afraid, they lost Uncle Liu's ship, what should I do? So these people wandered in Pukou for a whole day, they didn't know what to do, and they didn't dare to go back to face Liu Kongzhao's anger, you must know that they are all children of Nanjing's guards, and they can't afford to offend an earl, so they wander in Pukou crying and mourning one by one.

So the first to report the news to Liu Kongzhao was the guards who came back from Quarry Rock, not the sailors who were closer to Pukou.

It's just that the quarrying keeper reports a little bit of the art.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of his subordinates, the guard general nervously saw Liu Kongzhao, who had just been woken up, and told Liu Kongzhao that someone had stolen the big war ship on the dock, and the military attache really didn't dare to say the fact that the war ship was snatched away under his own guard, because he didn't know that after the night was a romantic night, and after being woken up from a sweet dream just in the morning, Uncle Liu, who must be in a bad mood, would deal with the derelict general, if it was stealing, it could only be said that he was careless, and it was understandable.

Therefore, when Liu Kongzhao, who was in a daze, heard that the boat was stolen, he didn't pay much attention to it for a while, but immediately ordered someone to chase the boat back, but it was too late, and Wang Pu took the boat back to Xinjiangkou.

When Uncle Liu really knew the truth, it was already the third day, after Song Kun brought the boat back from Guazhou. Let all the people on the boat go, there is a housekeeper of Uncle Liu's family on the boat, and this housekeeper also knows the inside story. It was he who reported the situation of Yang Chao's robbery of the ship to Liu Kongzhao in its original form.

But if you think that Liu Kongzhao really found out that it was Yang Chao who robbed his ship after the housekeeper came back, it would be too much to underestimate the energy of an earl. Liu Kongzhao himself may be mediocre in terms of intelligence and ability, but in a hereditary prince family like him, there are too many capable people in the family, and some of the staff members are even more shrewd.

So after the first news came, those staff members had already basically analyzed that it was only Yang Chao who robbed Liu Kongzhao's warship.

It's just that Liu Kongzhao didn't believe it for the first time, the hereditary prince of the Ming Dynasty. No one has been bullied like this for hundreds of years. But reason made him understand that it was very possible, it was very likely that his dignified earl was robbed by a military attaché, if it was a big warlord like Zuo Liangyu, he would have endured it, but Yang Chao, a deputy general, dared to rob him Uncle Liu.

But this matter can be easily confirmed, just send someone to Jiangkou to take a look, and the situation is even more shocking, Yang Chao did rob Liu Kongzhao's warship, and even boldly made a public provocation. Publicly proclaim on the dock that whoever robbed him would snatch it back.

When the news was confirmed, Uncle Liu didn't think about revenge for the first time, but trembled all over. He couldn't speak for a long time, most of them were angry, and a small part was also scared, where did he encounter this kind of thing since he was a child.

Liu Kongzhao naturally would not tolerate such a provocation by Yang Chao, he was already a very mixed person, otherwise he would not dare to rashly provoke the unspoken rule that has been formed for hundreds of years, and openly asked the emperor not to set up civil officials to supervise him.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to accept the provocation of Yang Chao, a small military attaché, and the provocation of them, the dignified founder of the country, he will definitely take revenge on Yang Chao. It's going to be a counterattack.

But the means of counterattack don't seem to be there, send someone to fight Yang Chao? That's. Since Haizhou, Yang Chao has already had the title of a famous general in the world. The people who can restrain Yang Chao in the entire Ming Dynasty are afraid that they can be counted on one hand, and no one in the entire Jiangnan except Zuo Liangyu can really overpower him in terms of force.

Besides, in the past, Yang Chao only had 500 people, but now it has multiplied tenfold to 5,000 people, who would dare to fight.

What's more, as a dignified earl, it is impossible to ignore the laws and disciplines of the Ming Dynasty and openly send people to attack a Ming general.

If you don't fight, there will only be a complaint, and the dignified earl has to rely on a complaint to clean up a small lieutenant, which makes Liu Kongzhao very unwilling.

While operating the complaint, Liu Kongzhao did not forget to send someone to threaten him, otherwise he would really not be able to swallow this evil breath.

"Master Jia, we're meeting again!"

Liu Kongzhao sent Jia Shilu again, Jia Shilu has an old relationship with Yang Chao, and he has always been responsible for communicating in the middle.

It's just that this time Jia Shilu had a bitter face and looked very helpless.

"Lord Yang, you are too Meng Lang!"

"How can Meng Lang see it?"

Yang Chao did not admit that he had done anything wrong.

Jia Shilu sighed: "Uncle Liu said, let you hand over the ship immediately, then there is still room for turnaround, otherwise you can only let the emperor be judged." ”

Yang Chao said indifferently: "Then the holy judge, he Liu Kongzhao can rob me, I can't rob him?" ”

Jia Shilu sighed: "Lord Yang, aren't you afraid of implicating your family?" ”

At the mention of his family, Yang Chao suddenly snorted coldly: "I, Yang Chao, have a family, but Liu Kongzhao doesn't have a family?" As far as I know, the Liu family is the big one! ”

Jia Shilu was stunned, and said with a frightened expression: "You! Don't you dare? ”

The latter words were not spoken, which means that Yang Chao still dared to lead troops to rush to kill the Earl's Mansion?

Yang Chao said coldly: "There's nothing you don't dare, you can let Liu Kongzhao try!" ”

Jia Shilu nodded: "Okay, you guys fight, I've done enough of this Chinese person." ”

Yang Chao said: "Send off!" ”

asked people to send away Jia Shilu, the deputy general of Yanziji, Yang Chao planned to go to the military department, Shi Kefa had already sent someone to invite him, but Jia Shilu's sudden visit was delayed.

Leaving for Yang Chao to think about it carefully, Jia Shilu's warning had to be guarded against, and he had to guard against Liu Kongzhao not playing cards according to common sense, because the power of the Liu family should not be underestimated.

The noble class of the Ming Dynasty basically has three factions, one is the founding hero class who fought the world with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the second is the martyr who helped Zhu Di launch the Battle of Jingnan to grab the throne of his nephew. For example, the Wang Yangming family who obtained the knighthood because of their meritorious judgment, such as the royal family who married into the royal family.

Compared with the first and second nobles. The third type is obviously low in status after all, and the inheritance is relatively short. Therefore, there is generally no real power.

Liu Kongzhao is obviously the first kind of noble class, the most deep-rooted founding noble class, the reason why they are a class is because of the marriage of generations, counting the family as in-laws, one loss and one glory, offending one Liu Kongzhao, offending the entire first noble. This kind of power is too large.

So Yang Chao had to guard against it, but let him succumb, it was absolutely impossible to do it, it was Liu Kongzhao who bullied the door first, if he compromised, the embarrassment was secondary, the key is that he can't retreat every time he encounters pressure, just compromise, then what else to talk about changing the general trend of history. It would be good to wait directly for the Manchu Qing to enter the customs and lead the troops to surrender and be a well-fed minion.

Every time there's pressure, resist it. Every time there is a difficulty, then solve the difficulty, so that step by step will become stronger and stronger, and the goal will be achieved step by step.

But the threat of the Xungui Group is real, Yang Chao himself is not afraid, but it is not appropriate to endanger his family, of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Liu family is unlikely to risk fighting with a civilian-born military general like Yang Chao, but Yang Chao can't afford to take this risk. Because in the eyes of outsiders, the lives of the Liu family are more valuable, but in the eyes of Yang Chao. The safety of his family is above all else.

"Zhao Kang, you take a hundred personal soldiers to my house immediately. Looking for Li Wuliu to ask for thirty birds, from today onwards, the Yang family must be constantly protected day and night! ”

Zhao Kang also knew that the situation was serious, and it was not so easy to offend an earl, they didn't have to be afraid in the barracks, but their aunt's family had to be careful in the city.

So he immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely protect my aunt, uncle and cousin." ”

Yang Chao nodded.

Zhao Kang took a hundred personal soldiers and thirty birds to the Yang family.

Yang Chao only brought thirty personal soldiers with him to the city, because Yang Chao did not think that Liu Kongzhao had the courage to intercept and kill himself in Nanjing City, and sent troops to his home just in case, so he didn't have to worry too much about his own words, even if Liu Kongzhao sent a hundred killers, he might not be able to stop Yang Chao.

And with too many people, it seems that he is timid, which is a sign of weakness.

There were no twists and turns along the way, the carriage stopped in front of the yamen of the military department, Yang Chao jumped out of the carriage, and the soldiers were guarding outside the door, they were much more cautious than Yang Chao, their eyes were firmly fixed on the people passing by.

Yang Chao glanced back, and saw that the soldiers were sweating on their faces because of nervousness and walking, and secretly said in his heart that it was time for these subordinates to learn to ride horses, and those horses were almost recuperated, and they began to grow fat one by one, and it should be no problem to jump out of a hundred or so.

Shi Kefa hurriedly walked around the back hall, looking anxious, Yang Chao was too bold, it was nothing to rob Liu Kongzhao, but when he went to Quarry Rock to grab the boat, this nature was different.

Quarrying is an important place for river defense, but Yang Chao ran where to grab the warship, and he is a military general who has just become famous in the world, which is really bad in political significance.

Originally, the imperial court was not at ease with the military generals, the Ming Dynasty had long emphasized the civil suppression of the military, and after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the military generals were fully suppressed by the civil officials, which was not only the control of the civil official group of power, but also the emperor's emphasis on stability, so the suppression of the military will be the joint action of the imperial power and the civil officials.

Especially in the past few years, the world has been in turmoil, and the generals have begun to be arrogant again, and the imperial court has become stricter on the defense of the generals, for fear that there will be another Zuo Liangyu, but at this time Yang Chao did such a thing, which really made Shi Kefa not worried, he didn't believe that Yang Chao would be like Zuo Liangyu, becoming a reckless and reckless man, but Yang Chao did such a reckless thing, so that he really couldn't understand.

So as soon as he heard about this, he immediately sent someone to invite Yang Chao.

"The last general has seen Master Shi!"

Yang Chao finally arrived at the back hall of the military department, saw Shi Kefa with a worried face, and immediately saluted.

Shi Kefa ignored the invitation to Yang Chao to sit down, and immediately frowned and asked, "Yang Chao, you are so confused, why do you sit down and do such a ridiculous thing?" ”

Yang Chao stood up straight, didn't wait for Shi Kefa to give up his seat, sat down by himself, looked relaxed, and said to Shi Kefa with a smile:

"Master Shi, the last general has his own considerations!" (To be continued...... ）。
