A sudden tornado caused more than 500 elite families under Wang Pu to die in the sea, although Wang Pu and the remaining more than 200 families survived, but the mast of the big ship was blown off, and the sails were also swept away, and they could no longer continue to sail by the wind, so they had to drift with the tide on the sea and resign themselves to fate.

After floating on the sea for half a month, when he saw that the fresh water and food on the ship were about to be eaten, Scarface, who was in charge of watching on the half-mast was the first to discover the land, and the scar on his face began to tremble with excitement, and shouted to Wang Pu on the deck: "General, land, the villain has seen the land, we have been saved, we have been saved, hahaha......"

Wang Pu hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Where, in which direction?" ”

Scarface replied loudly, "To the west, the direction in which the sun sets!" ”

"The direction in which the sun sets?"

Wang Pu put his hand on the awning and looked to the west, and sure enough, he saw the faint coastline, looking at the endless coastline, it shouldn't be an island, it seems that the front is Daming, but I don't know where it floated? But one thing is for sure, this is not Shandong.

"Fishing boats." Scarface, who was climbing on the mast, shouted again, "There are two fishing boats ahead. ”

Wang Pu looked in the direction of Scarface's finger, and sure enough, he saw two small fishing boats, Wang Pu was about to put down the boats, and sent someone over to ask where the boundary was, but the fishermen on the two fishing boats had quickly put away the fishing nets, and then shook the oars and turned around and ran, and there were only two small black dots left in less than a cup of tea.

Wang Pu was stunned and said, "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Qi smiled bitterly: "General, these fishermen are afraid that they treat us as pirates." ”

Xiao Qi didn't guess wrong, about half an hour after the disappearance of the two fishing boats, two big ships suddenly appeared on the sea in front of them, and a moon flag was hung on the main mast of each big ship, and rows of shooting holes were opened on the side side, and a small black cannon poked out of the shooting holes, which turned out to be the sailor warship of the Ming Dynasty.

[Ming flag: blue background, red and yellow moon overlap, meaning the big "Ming", red said twelve rays of light, four big horns point to the four corners of the flag, meaning that the glory of the Ming Dynasty shines to the four seas and eight wilderness. 】

"It's the Ming sailor fleet." Scarface shouted, "We're really back to Daming." ”

At this time, the family members in the cabin also rushed to the deck, jumping, shouting, waving their hands vigorously towards the slowly approaching Daming warship, all of them were so excited that they were about to go crazy, the excitement of these family members can be imagined, when they followed Wang Pu to Liaodong, they didn't think that they could come back alive, but now they not only came back alive, but also brought back incredible fruitful results!

Wang Pu also sighed sincerely, the feeling of escaping death is really fucking good!

The two naval warships slowly approached from the left and right wings, sandwiching Wang Pu's big ship tightly in the middle, and a general of the Great Ming Naval Division poked his head out from behind the female wall and asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

Wang Pu came out of the crowd and replied loudly: "Datong General Soldier - Wang Pu!" ”

"Wang Pu?" The general of the sailor muttered expressionlessly, and then his face changed greatly, "What, you are Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong?" ”

Wang Pu said loudly: "It's this town." ”

The general of the water division shouted: "What is the evidence? ”

Xiao Qi raised Wang Pu's general soldier seal above his head and said loudly: "Is this general soldier seal considered a voucher?" ”

"It's really Mr. Wang!" The general of the sailor suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, come and see, General Soldier Wang, it is really General Soldier Wang who has returned victorious......

The general of the sailor roared, and hundreds of officers and soldiers of the sailor rushed onto the deck, vying to witness Wang Pu's demeanor.

At this time, Wang Pu didn't know that this was already the open sea of Songjiang Mansion, and he didn't know that he led a lone army deep into the hinterland of Liaodong, smashed Shengjing, the old nest of Jiannu, and captured the slave chieftain Taiji in one fell swoop.

For example, the resumption of the society initiated by Zhang Pu, a native of Taicang, Jiangsu, had even thousands of members, and from time to time they held gatherings, exchanged articles, chanted the wind and made the moon, and even attacked the government.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Wang Pu's big ship appeared in the sea off Songjiang Mansion, from the high-ranking officials and relatives who stayed in Nanjing, to the peddlers and pawns in various provinces, almost the entire gentry and common people in the south of the Yangtze River were talking about his deeds, and even when the Qinglou Ji's women gathered on the Qinhuai River, the focus of the discussion was also Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong.

In short, at this time, Wang Pu has become a well-known figure in the provinces south of the Yangtze River.

■■■

Huating.

Qian Heng, the prefect of Songjiang, was feasting on his uncle Qian Qianyi in the backyard of the government.

This Qian Qianyi is also a well-known figure in Jiangnan, known as the head of Jiangnan talents, during the Apocalypse, he was an official to the Ministry of Rites, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, and later failed with Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru and was dismissed, and he has been at home for more than ten years. Although Qian Qianyi was fifty years old, he lingered in the Qinglou and played the flowers, and the literati in the Jiangnan area gave him a nickname called Fengliu Sect Master.

In order to wash the dust for his uncle Qian Qianyi, Qian Heng, the prefect of Songjiang, also specially invited several well-known talents from Songjiang Mansion to accompany him, including Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi.

[Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi are both people in the Restoration Society, after the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, they devoted themselves to the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and committed suicide and martyrdom, Xia Yunyi also has a son named Xia Wanchun, the son inherited his father's business and continued to resist the Qing Dynasty, but was killed by the Qing army at the age of seventeen, Xia Wanchun left a poem that is enough to be described as "amazing talent", which is not inferior to Jiang Zuosan's family. 】

After three rounds of drinking, everyone naturally talked about the deeds of Wang Pu's lone army in Liaodong.

Chen Zilong said with emotion: "As a seven-foot man, you should follow the example of Wang Pu's general army to fight on the battlefield, smash Huanglong, and make contributions to the imperial court." ”

Xia Yunyi sighed: "Yes, today's science field is full of shady scenes, fraud is rampant, and the really talented ones can't get fame, but those who speculate and drill camps have passed the first, and it's really chilling to think about it, it's better to put pen to paper and go to the front line in western Liaoning to kill Jiannu." ”

Qian Heng said disapprerovingly: "Do you really believe the Tang report sent by Jingshi? ”

Chen Zilong hurriedly asked, "What, is this matter fake?" ”

Qian Heng said confidently: "According to the official's speculation, this matter is simply a matter of nothingness, and it was deliberately fabricated by the emperor and the court in order to boost the morale of the army and the people. ”

"It's impossible." Xia Yunyi retorted, "This is the Tang report sent back to Beijing from Songshan by Inspector Hong, does Inspector Hong dare to bully the king?" ”

"Of course Inspector Hong doesn't dare to bully the king." Qian Hengdao, "As far as this official knows, the last sentence of the Tang report sent back to Beijing by Inspector Hong is 'This matter has not been finally verified, please confirm it through Mongolian and Korean spy news'." ”

Chen Zilong said: "I have seen the Tang newspaper sent by Jingshi to stay in the capital, but there is no such sentence on it. ”

Qian Hengdao: "So this official dares to assert that this matter is purely made up, otherwise it has been almost a month since the matter, why is there no news about Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong?" Dead or alive, there has to be news. ”

"Big, my lord, hurry ......up" Qian Heng's voice fell, and his master suddenly ran in out of breath, and said breathlessly, "Quick, go and greet ......."

Qian Heng frowned and said unhappily: "Didn't the official tell me not to disturb me if I have nothing to do?" ”

The master took a sharp breath and said urgently: "My lord, just now the sailors of Jinshanwei came to report that they met General Wang in the sea off Songjiang. ”

"Mr. Wang?" Qian Heng said coldly, "Which Wang Zongbing?" ”

"Which other general soldier can there be." The master stomped his feet and said, "It's not the general soldier of Datong, Wang Pubei." ”

"What, Da, the king of the general army of Datong, Wang Pu?" Qian Heng's face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly, "He, he, he is in the sea off Songjiang?" ”

The rest of Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong and others also changed their faces, and they all stood up, just now they said that General Soldier Wang, this is Songjiang, but Isn't this General Soldier Wang trapped in Lianyun Island in Liaodong by Jiannu, how did he run to the sea off Songjiang?

The master gasped and said: "The officers and soldiers of the Navy Division said that after the general soldier destroyed the nest of Jiannu, he turned to North Korea, and boarded a ship from Incheon Port in North Korea to go to sea, and he wanted to return to Dengzhou and did not want to encounter a hurricane on the way, two of the three big ships capsized, and there were less than 300 of the more than 800 soldiers left, so he deviated from the course and floated to Songjiang. ”

Qian Heng still refused to believe it, and asked again: "Is it really Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong?" ”

"You can't be wrong." The master said categorically, "The seal of the chief soldier has been checked, and the slave chieftain, the prince and the two concubines of Jiannu are all on the ship." ”

"Quick, go and gather all the officials of the whole mansion and go with the mansion to greet them." Qian Heng lifted his official robe and ran out, ran a few steps and said to his master, "By the way, go to Fatang first, and report to Nanjing Fatang immediately, and say that the sailors of Jinshanwei in Songshan Mansion have brought back Wang Zongbing and his soldiers by sea." ”

This money is quite good at grabbing credit, Wang Pu's people and boats obviously floated by themselves, but after he said this, it turned out that he sent a sailor to pick up Wang Pu and them from North Korea.

"Yes, yes, yes." The master replied repeatedly, "The villain will do it, and he will go." ”

Qian Heng rubbed his hands, and left the guests in the backyard to take care of himself.

Chen Zilong looked around at Qian Qianyi, Xia Yunyi and the others: "Mu Lao [Qian Qianyi is Mu Zhai, and the younger generations respect him as Mu Lao], Zhong Yi [Xia Yunyi's character], why don't we go and greet it too." ”
