In a military camp outside Tianjin, Tianjin Governor Li Banghua was leading a group of officers and soldiers to confront the soldiers in the barracks nervously.

"General Xiang, General Xue, the Son of Heaven has already issued the order of King Qin, why are you still delaying your stay, do you plan to disobey the order of the Son of Heaven?"

Li Banghua said to Xiang Yu and others in the camp.

If he usually had countless ways to clean up Xiang Yu and the others, but now is an extraordinary time, he can't use those methods.

Many armies in Tianjin have gone to Qinwang, and now there are only three or two big cats and kittens left.

If he relied only on force, he would have no way to take this army.

Because the army in front of them has always been known for its fierceness, they once attacked the Jurchen camp at night, defeated thousands of Jurchens, and captured Jiannu Bel Amin alive.

Moreover, Xiang Yu's courage was even terrifying to the Jurchens, and he slaughtered hundreds of Jurchens in the first battle of Zhenjiang Fort, making him famous.

Some generals in Tianjin did not accept Xiang Yu's brave name, and came to the door to challenge, but all of them returned defeated, and finally Xiang Yu's reputation spread farther and farther, I heard that even the Son of Heaven had heard of it, and this time he also specially named his name.

Hearing that he was coming to find Xiang Yu's trouble, his subordinates were all so frightened that their hands and feet became weak, either saying that they were sick and couldn't come, or they simply disappeared.

With less than a hundred demoralized soldiers at present, it is impossible for him to be an opponent of these people in front of him.

Therefore, Li Banghua knew that he could never come to the hard ones, at most he could only come with some soft knives.

"Master Li, didn't I say it a long time ago? As soon as the court sends us the food and wages that are owed to us, we will immediately send troops. You should know that the imperial court has already owed us more than half a year's salary. Do you know how we got over for most of the year? The things I eat every day are similar to pig food, and if it weren't for my Xiang Moumou's leadership, he would still have some prestige. Maybe the soldiers would have mutinied a long time ago. Since ancient times, the emperor has not sent hungry soldiers, why should you let me give you my life without pay. ”

Xiang Yu said with a smile to Li Banghua outside the camp.

Several generals around him also said with a smile on their faces: "That's right." If there is no silver, why should we sell our lives and let our whole family drink to the northwest? ”

"No more money. We'll make a fuss. ”

"It's a mess, everyone is a payroll."

“……”

Seeing this, Li Banghua's face couldn't help but change drastically.

If he makes trouble at this juncture, it will really kill him, and he can't let them make trouble no matter what.

It's just that these people are so loyal, and other people can go to King Qin if they owe food, but they can't.

But Li Banghua is not a vegetarian, this time he came prepared, so he pretended to be angry and said: "General Xiang." Don't think I don't know. A few days ago, you purchased hundreds of stone of grain and more than a dozen live pigs in Tianjin, if this is called pig food, then what are the other soldiers eating? I hope you will be honest and explain where you got so much money in your hands, and whether it was handed over to you by the Lu thief in Jiangnan. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, how could this person guess it casually, this is too godly.

"But don't worry, even if the thief Lu intends to buy you. As long as you can make a contribution to this time in the King of Diligence. The official promised to exonerate you from all guilt and make you a knight. What do you think? ”

Soon Li Banghua's fox tail was revealed, and in the final analysis, he still wanted Xiang Yu and others to raise troops to serve the king.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their feelings were blind, otherwise this person would be too powerful.

Xiang Yu sneered, and then said: "Lord Li, please go back, I still say the same thing, we will not send troops if we don't send the food and salary we owe." ”

"General Xiang, do you have a loyal and patriotic heart? The Son of Heaven loves you very much and adds you to the rank of guerrilla general. Now that the Son of Heaven is in trouble, why don't you even want to raise troops to serve the king? ”

Li Banghua accused angrily.

"We're all a bunch of vulgar, money-greedy warriors. We don't understand these things about loyalty and patriotism, and these are not what you want to see. ”

Xiang Yu said with a sneer.

Not long since. The status of Chinese military generals has fallen to such a point that any magistrate dares to and pee on their heads.

This makes Xiang Yu and Xue Rengui and other military generals who were once extremely powerful and powerful how can they endure it.

They don't have a good impression of the Ming Dynasty.

"You...... You ......"

Li Banghua was so angry that he pointed at them and couldn't speak.

Xiang Yu, Xue Rengui, Gao Shun and the others all looked at him with a sneer, only Wu Weizhong's face was a little gloomy.

Li Banghua thought for a while, and finally sighed and said: "That's it, I have also raised a lot of silver recently, and it is about 5ooo taels, although it is not enough to pay the arrears, but I hope that after you receive this salary, you can send troops to relieve the danger of the Son of Heaven." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Yu thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay then, as long as I receive this silver, I promise to send troops as quickly as possible." ”

The others glanced at Xiang Yu and noticed that Xiang Yu winked at them.

They immediately realized that this was the rhythm of eating and wiping clean and not admitting it.

Hearing this, Li Banghua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that this matter can finally be solved.

However, he kept scolding in his heart, he was really a group of money-greedy martial artists, and he had no loyalty to the monarch and patriotism.

He vowed to impeach them fiercely afterwards, otherwise it would be difficult to dispel his anger.

So the two parties began to settle the silver taels, and Li Banghua looked at the five thousand taels of silver with a painful face.

This was an apportion from the merchants of the city, and he offended many people for it.

You must know that Tianjin is close to the capital, and many of the shops that can open shops here are real dignitaries.

But now at such a critical juncture, I can't take care of so much.

After receiving the silver, Xiang Yu said to Li Banghua: "Please rest assured, Lord Governor, after I send this silver, I will order the soldiers to have a full meal, and promise to send troops immediately." ”

Li Banghua snorted coldly, he didn't believe in the credibility of these Qiu Ba.

"It's okay, this officer is here waiting for you to send troops. You don't send troops for a day. The official will not leave here for a day. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Yu and the others looked at each other and smiled, and did not drive him away.

According to their estimates. Lu Yan's fleet should also arrive in the next few days.

Xiang Yu and the others again ordered the sergeant to go out and buy a few pigs and lambs, and then kill the pigs and slaughter the sheep. Get ready to treat the sergeant well.

In the future, it will soon be a series of battles, and the sergeants must be fed before they have the strength to kill the enemy.

Those Li Banghua's subordinates can only be envious and jealous when they see this, they are also soldiers, why is the gap so big?

Look at people who are slaughtering pigs and sheep, and they are happy to eat.

But it's good to have a steamed bun to gnaw.

While they were eating, a cavalryman came to report on his horse.

"Lord Qiyu, a huge fleet has appeared outside the port of Tianjin, and its banner is King Wu's people."

The cavalryman said.

"What King Wu. Is it Lu Thief who knows? ”

Li Banghua couldn't help but say angrily.

Although Lu Yan has already been crowned King of Wu, anyone with a little status knows what is going on.

"Yes, my lord."

The cavalryman hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Xiang Yu and the others glanced at each other, are they finally here?

"Damn, they're finally here."

Li Banghua said with some panic.

In case Lu Yan and the Jurchens join forces, then Da Ming will definitely be finished.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Li Banghua said.

At this time, he couldn't care about Xiang Yu and them, and directly took his subordinates and left the barracks.

Xiang Yu and the others also put down the food in their hands, and then ordered the cavalry and galloped towards the dock together.

Li Banghua desperately beat his horse and galloped. Not far from the port of Tianjin.

Suddenly, he heard a rumbling cannon sound, which made his heart tremble.

Could it be that Lu Yan's people are shelling the port of Tianjin.

Finally rushed to the wharf of Tianjin Port, he found dozens of tall Western giant ships appearing in the open sea of Tianjin.

In addition to this, there were eight twelve-masted ships. Compared with those Western giants, these are the real giants of the sea.

Seeing these twelve-masted ships, Li Banghua couldn't help but be in a daze.

Treasure Ship!

Li Banghua dared to swear with his head that these were definitely real treasure ships.

He had long heard that Lu Thief had the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty in his hand, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today.

Thinking of the ending of Zheng He's fleet, Li Banghua smiled bitterly.

If Da Ming could keep that powerful fleet, he would not let the Lu thieves be so rampant and land wherever he wanted.

Li Banghua soon realized that the Ming needed a strong sailor. Otherwise, in case the imperial court and Lu Yan go to war again in the future.

Lü Yan could have landed in a place close to Beijing and then attacked Beijing.

When the time comes. Maybe the Ming Dynasty will be over.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Banghua felt heavy. But he knew it wasn't going to be easy, and there was only one reason.

That is, there is no money, if you want a strong fleet, you must have a lot of money, otherwise how to maintain a strong sailor.

However, he heard that the princes of the DPRK and China planned to set up a fort in Tianjin, presumably out of this consideration.

In addition to these ships, there were also some lucky ships among those ship squadrons, which should be civilian ships temporarily recruited by Lu Yan.

At this time, several Ming ships tried to prevent Lü Yan's fleet from landing.

But Lu Yan's fleet was too powerful, and he easily defeated those Ming ships by only dividing ten warships.

Two of the Ming ships were sunk, and the others fled in a hurry.

Seeing this, Li Banghua's mood couldn't help but sink to the bottom, he knew that there was no one who could stop Lu Yan's landing.

Soon several Western giants began to dock, and then a large number of soldiers stepped off the ship.

As for the Ming army on the shore? I was already scared and ran away.

Seeing this, Li Banghua plucked up his courage and rode up on a horse.

Then he said to the soldiers: "I am Li Banghua, the governor of Tianjin, and I want to see you King Wu." ”

The soldiers glanced at him, and immediately someone began to wave the flag incessantly to relay the news.

At this time, the overlord also galloped over with hundreds of Xuanjia spirits.

Looking at the huge fleet in the open sea, he was also a little stunned, Lu Yan's strength was really getting bigger and bigger.

But soon he came back to his senses, and then rode to Li Banghua, and quietly waited for Lu Yan to land.

"Wait a minute, our lord's ship will dock soon."

After receiving the news from the fleet, one of the soldiers said.

Hearing this, Li Banghua nodded.

The wharf at the port of Tianjin was large enough for more than 20 warships to dock at the same time.

Therefore, thousands of soldiers soon gathered on the docks.

Although the soldiers were very depressed because of the long voyage.

But it was still evident that they were very disciplined and their equipment was extremely sophisticated.

Seeing this, Li Banghua couldn't help sighing.

How could the thief army under King Wu be so elite?

Compared to these soldiers, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty looked like they were called Huazi.

Soon a huge Western battleship docked, judging from the flag of this battleship, it should be Lu Yan's ship.

This made Li Banghua a little curious, who was Lu Yan who was able to defeat the Ming army one after another.

At this time, he inadvertently found Xiang Yu and others beside him.

There was a smile on their lips, which made him suddenly feel uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. (To be continued)
