Chapter 8: Shi Lang's Rebellion (II)

In the south of May, the weather is already starting to get hot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Lang held the wooden barrel and soaked it in the water for nearly 2 hours before swimming to Zhoushan Island.

Taking off his wet clothes, twisting and drying on a big rock, Shi Lang lay naked on the shore, thinking about what to do next.

Shi Lang thought about it and found that he had no choice at all.

The world is big, except for taking refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no other way to live.

But if you want to go north now, you can't do it alone.

The land was too dangerous, and there were soldiers guarding the road.

I have to go by water.

You must have a boat to walk by water, where can you get a boat?

Shi Lang quietly thought about who could help him escape the pursuit, filtering the characters in his mind.

Shi Lang thought of a person, Su Mao, the commander of the third column of the Beiyang Fleet.

Su Mao is also a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, and is a fellow villager with Shi Lang.

When Su Mao first joined the army, he was a subordinate of Shi Lang.

Shi Lang sees that he is a fellow villager, and usually takes care of him.

Su Mao has also been promoted very quickly in the past few years because of Shi Lang's support, and now he is already the head of the regiment.

Shi Lang thought about it again and again, and now he is the one who is most likely to help him.

After making up his mind, Shi Lang immediately decided to take action while the news of his escape had not spread.

Shi Lang redressed and cautiously dodged, walking to the Zhoushan Naval Base where Su Mao was stationed.

At the gate of the camp, when he saw Shi Lang, the soldiers guarding immediately shouted: "What kind of person, the military focus here, the idle people are waiting to go away!" ”

Shi Lang shouted expressionlessly, "Go, call your General Su out, and say that Shi Lang, the governor of Taiwan, wants to see him!" ”

When the guards heard that the person in front of them was wearing dry clothes, it turned out to be Shi Lang, the governor of Taiwan!

They didn't believe it, how could the governor of Taiwan, how old an official he was, dressed so poorly, and didn't even have a guard, so he came alone.

Shi Lang saw that they didn't move, and immediately shouted: "I have something important to do Su Mao, why don't you tell me quickly, do you take responsibility for delaying the matter!" ”

The guards saw that Shi Lang had such a tough attitude, and they were a little hesitant.

One of the guards was more clever, and said to his companions: "It's better to find the regiment commander's guard Wang Dafu, he has been following the regiment commander, and he must know the governor of Taiwan." Look for him. If you know it, tell it, and if you don't know it, drive it away! ”

Hearing the idea, the other guards all thought it was good.

"You wait here, I'll find someone!"

After saying that, one of the guards went to find Wang Dafu, the guard of the regiment commander Su Mao.

Shi Lang waited for a while, and then saw the guard come with a person.

As soon as that person saw Shi Lang, he immediately ran forward and saluted, and then said, "General Shi, why are you here!" ”

Shi Lang snorted and said, "If you have something to find your regimental leader, lead the way!" ”

Wang Dafu hurriedly said: "Yes, General Shi, come with me!" ”

When the guards at the door heard Wang Dafu admit that it was Shi Lang in front of them, they hurriedly stood up straight and saluted, "I'm sorry general, please forgive!" ”

If it was usual, if he dared to offend like this, Shi Lang would definitely not forgive him.

But now he is busy running, and Shi Lang is in charge of these little soldiers.

When Su Mao was reading a book in the office, suddenly the guard Wang Dafu came in and saluted and shouted, "Report to the head of the regiment, General Shi Lang, the governor of Taiwan, is here." ”

When Su Mao heard this, he immediately put down the book, looked at Shi Lang behind Wang Dafu, and hurriedly walked over to salute: "General Shi, why are you here!" ”

Shi Lang glanced at Wang Dafu, and Su Mao let his guards go out with a wave of his hand.

Seeing Wang Dafu go out and close the door with his hand, Shi Lang begged, "Brother, save buddy!" ”

As he spoke, Shi Lang burst into tears.

Su Mao was startled when he saw Shi Lang like this, and hurriedly asked, "General Shi, what's the matter?" ”

Shi Lang knew that he was telling the truth, and Su Mao was only afraid that he would not dare to help him, so he lied: "It's all my fault, I usually like to drink, and you also know that when I drink, I will be open-mouthed and talk nonsense, I can't think of something to let the general know, and now he wants to arrest me for questioning." ”

When Su Mao heard this, he put his mind at ease and said, "Alas, General Shi, you are usually told to be cautious. Why are you still so upright. Don't worry, the general has a lot, and he will definitely not punish you, at most he will scold you a few words, and I will go with you to make amends to him when the time comes! ”

If I go with you, then I won't be caught in the net.

Shi Lang hurriedly said: "Now that the general is angry, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big crime." You first lend me a boat and let me go to sea to hide for a few days, and then you can help me go and ask the general for a favor. When the general's anger is gone, I will come back and ask the general for his guilt, so that the crime will be lighter. Good brother, you don't want me to confiner the general for a few days! ”

Su Mao thought that the general was strict with the law, and Shi Lang might be imprisoned for a few days. As soon as he wanted the confinement room, Su Mao was frightened.

That confinement room is simply not human!

Although it is unlikely that General Jue will punish Shi Lang severely for this trivial matter, seeing Shi Lang's panicked appearance and thinking of his previous support for him, he agreed to Shi Lang's request with a soft heart.

Su Mao found a boat for Shi Lang and sent him to sea.

……

When the soldier who was cleaning up the dishes on the ship came back, he saw another soldier lying on the ground, and hurriedly went into the room to check, and when he saw that Shi Lang was missing, this soldier hurriedly shook the fainted soldier awake.

The soldier who fainted didn't see Shi Lang's figure, and immediately knew that something was wrong.

The soldiers guarding hurriedly ran to Lin Xishan's room and woke him up.

When Lin Xishan heard that Shi Lang had not been found after searching the entire ship, Lin Xishan immediately knew that Shi Lang had escaped.

Lin Xishan asked the ships to go to sea to search the surrounding waters, and generally asked the soldiers to go ashore to search along the coast, and he hurried back to Nanjing to report to the general Zheng Chenggong.

"What! Shi Lang ran away! What are you doing to eat, so that Shi Lang can run away......" Zheng Chenggong scolded Lin Xishan with anger on his face.

Lin Xishan also knew that he was derelict in his duties, and silently endured the general's scolding, and did not dare to defend a word.

After scolding for a while, Zheng Chenggong became angry, and knew that now was not the time, and the most important thing now was to catch Shi Lang quickly.

Zheng Chenggong shouted: "Send an order to all ministry officials, garrisons, and officials to want Shi Lang." If he is willing to surrender himself, he can be lenient. If you resist, don't hesitate! ”

'Yes!'

In addition to sending soldiers to chase the shop, Zheng Chenggong also sent elites from the National Security Bureau and the National Bureau of Investigation to arrest Shi Lang.

Hundreds of heralds rode fast horses and hurriedly gave orders around, and Shi Lang's portrait spread from Nanjing to all directions like a tide, plastering city gates and billboards.

Shi Lang had just run for less than half a day, and the wanted notice was sent to Zhoushan.

When Su Mao saw the wanted notice, he was immediately stunned, and the order in his hand slipped to the ground.

Su Mao understood that he had deceived Shi Lang, so Su Mao asked the guards to trap himself and surrender to the general. (To be continued.) )
