Chapter 199: Recall to the Capital (Part II)

Zhu Youcheng waited in the port every day for the return of the lucky boat, but although there were many ships entering and leaving the port, he did not see a single lucky ship belonging to the Denglai sailor. However, in this busy port, Zhu Youcheng did not see a tax collector dressed in the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, that is, although the port throughput is very large, it is not beneficial to the country. Zhu Yuanzhang's policies at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China have lagged behind the times, and the Ming Dynasty should vigorously reform, and if it continues to cling to the defects, the finances will definitely go bankrupt and repeat the mistakes of history.

After two days of Wangfu Stone, Zhu Youcheng finally saw a group of tall lucky boats slowly approaching the shore, the gangway was set up, and a group of magical and vivid officers and soldiers came down from the boat.

Zhu Youcheng nodded, and Jinyiwei immediately rushed onto the boat and took control of the lucky boat.

The steward was escorted down and asked, these ships came from Dongying. After getting on the ship and counting the goods, Zhu Youcheng was stunned to find that there was a lot of sulfur in it, in addition to silver. It turned out that the land in Dongying was barren, except for sulfur mines and silver mines, so after selling the goods on the ship, the Denglai sailors felt that it was too wasteful to come back empty, so they bought these things back.

Zhu Youcheng was overjoyed, what a windfall. Xizhen Fu made it very troublesome to receive gunpowder from the military headquarters, but now that there is such an abundance of high-quality sulfur, there will be no need for gunpowder for several years.

Zhu Youcheng did not have a water division, and he had to rely on the veterans of the Denglai Water Division. He sent people on the ship, arrested the die-hard elements of Li Song and his party on the ship, and then supplemented some sailors loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and finally controlled these twenty-five lucky ships in his hands. The size of these lucky ships was far from his imagination, and with these ships, his brocade guards and baggage could be put on Juehua Island at one time.

Back at the station, Zhu Youcheng saw at a glance that Tu Wenfu was waiting for him in the handsome tent, and he couldn't help but feel happy. The emperor was so fast, he replied to him so quickly. After this turmoil, he was a little disheartened by the mission to rescue Juehua Island, and now he is just doing his best and obeying the fate of heaven. Tu Wenfu's arrival undoubtedly gave him a shot in the arm. It boosted his confidence. He decided to deal with the matter here, and immediately took a boat and went straight to Juehua Island.

Tu Wenfu sat on the chair, looking too tired, one Dongchang fan was rubbing his back, and the other was beating his legs. Seeing Zhu Youcheng come in, he stood up and said, "The emperor ordered our family to come over and deliver the decree." ”

Zhu Youcheng immediately knelt down, Tu Wenfu stepped forward to help him, and said, "The emperor specially ordered you not to kneel to receive the holy decree, you just stand and listen." ”

Zhu Youcheng is not hypocritical. He stood up. Tu Wenfu unfolded the holy decree and read it, the holy decree was polished by a special person, to the effect that Zhu Youcheng's construction was all approved by the Emperor of the Apocalypse. He couldn't help but be secretly happy, this time the Denglai sailors would not make any more mistakes, and in the future, these sailors could still give him a lot of help when they recovered Taiwan Bay Island. It is best to find an opportunity to find another opportunity to ask the emperor to expand the Xizhen Fusi by another 10,000 people. All placed in the water division. In this way, they attacked and harassed the rear of Jiannu and recovered the islands of the South China Sea. It's even more certain.

Tu Wenfu finished reading the holy decree and said: "Our family came in a hurry for eight hundred miles, and other officials are not so fast, at least it will take ten days and half a month." ”

Zhu Youcheng hurriedly took out a gold coin from his arms and stuffed it into his palm under the pretense of shaking hands with him and thanking him. Tu Wenfu glanced at the gold coin, and his face smiled like a flower. said: "How embarrassing is this, it's all for the emperor." Our family came this time, in addition to preemptively telling you the results of the emperor's treatment, we also brought a secret decree. ”

Zhu Youcheng stood solemnly, ready to listen to the secret message. I don't want to know that the secret is not a message. It's an epistle.

Tu Wenfu handed him a sealed letter, and said with a little jealousy: "Our family is not qualified to know, this secret decree is sealed." The emperor said that you should see it for yourself. ”

Zhu Youcheng took the letter and checked it slightly, and sure enough, it had not been dismantled. He walked to the manager's seat with the envelope, sat down, and then tore open the envelope and took out the secret message inside. said that it was a secret decree, but in fact it was a letter, a letter from the Emperor of the Apocalypse. The letter was written in the vernacular, which was a little inconsistent with the identity of the emperor, so it was no wonder that it had to be sealed. The general meaning of the letter is that his eldest brother, that is, the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself, his sister-in-law Empress Zhang Yan, and his goddaughter Princess Huaining miss him very much, and asked him not to go to Juehua Island and return to the capital directly.

Zhu Youcheng's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, he couldn't help but go to Juehua Island, because when he heard that Yuan Chonghuan refused to withdraw his troops from Ningyuan, he knew that history would repeat itself.

There are 14,000 people on Juehua Island, not 1200, and he seems to see the soldiers and civilians of Juehua Island struggling and crying under Jiannu's butcher's knife: a common man knelt down and begged for mercy from Jiannu, and Jiannu cut him off with a knife, cutting off his hands and feet, and watching him cry for a long time and die; A woman was raped by Jiannu in front of her family, then her chest was broken open and her heart was gouged out; A young child, picked up by a slave beast, smashed his head against the wall......

Can't go, absolutely can't go. There is still grain on Juehua Island, a full 80,000 stone of grain, and after robbing these grains, Jiannu is full, so that he can better invade the Ming Dynasty and kill the people of the Ming Dynasty.

But the emperor issued a secret decree, and it is a serious crime to resist the decree and not obey it. Wait, Yuan Chonghuan disobeyed Gao Di's order to stay in Ningyuan, it seems that the Emperor of the Apocalypse not only did not blame him for not listening to the dispatch of his superiors, but was very happy and praised him as a man. The Emperor of the Apocalypse is a hot-blooded young man, only 21 years old this year, which is the age when he likes heroes. If he had disobeyed his orders and gone to Juehua Island, maybe he wouldn't have been so angry. Because the emperor didn't let him go to Juehua Island, not because he was jealous of him, but because he loved him. On the other hand, Zhu Youcheng has no selfish intentions, purely to save the people on the island. Of course, if he can kill a few hundred Jiannu, the emperor will be even happier. But the idea is plump, and the reality is skinny. Jin Yiwei is not well trained, and he has a hard time with Jiannu, and he may be defeated.

Tu Wenfu saw that his face was cloudy, and he didn't know what was written on the letter. However, he did not dare to inquire about the contents of the letter - since the emperor sealed the letter, he did not want to know it, so he waited quietly.

When Zhu Youcheng's gaze moved away from the letter, Tu Wenfu asked, "Master Zhu, when will you leave?" ”

"Oh, tomorrow morning. Today, the ship has just arrived at the port, and now it is being unloaded, and tomorrow morning, I will take the troops to board the ship and go to Juehua Island. ”

"Aren't you going back to the capital? The emperor asked our family to rush to Dengzhou for 800 miles, just to take you back to Beijing. ”

"That's right, after the military and civilians of Juehua Island are evacuated, I will naturally return to the capital. I'm tired of eating seafood in Dengzhou, and I kind of want to eat roast duck in Beijing. I really want to go back to the capital now, but I can't. You think, the emperor held a grand farewell ceremony in the capital to send me to Liaodong, but I didn't even get to the edge of Liaodong, so I went home, and the princes of the court were still laughing to death. ”

"Master Zhu is right. But in this case, why did the emperor let our family rush to Dengzhou for 800 miles? Along the way, our family's bones are about to fall apart. ”

"The emperor is probably urging me to send troops quickly, and there is a way to go and return quickly. Alas, it's not that I'm delaying time, it's really that the officials in Denglai are too uncooperative. But now that the lucky ship has arrived, there will be no further delay. (To be continued!)
