When Mao Chenglu received the news, the fleet was still at sea, and it was the news sent back by the sentinel ship patrolling the sea. When Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde and others came to the beach, they were really shocked.

I saw that the fleet had sailed into the bay of Hiroshima, and countless ships came across the sea, with masts like forests and sails as many as clouds in the sky.

Mao Chenglu and others are on the island, and there are naturally many boats on Guanglu Island, but they are all smaller sea boats, and some of them are even fishing boats. And the ships in front of me are all as tall as buildings, and they are all hundreds of sea ships with thousands of materials!

"I'm afraid that the imperial court won't transfer the entire northern sea ships here, right?" Kong Youde was shocked.

"The imperial court actually sent a strategy, which is determined to rectify Dongjiang Town." Mao Chenglu was worried.

In the past, his father-in-law Mao Wenlong was transferred, and now the imperial court has sent another strategy, this fleet is so large, carrying at least 30,000 or 40,000 troops, this is obviously to calm the rhythm of the entire Dongjiang River. Mao Chenglu has a feeling that his good days are coming to an end.

"The imperial court must have decided that Liu Xingzuo was in rebellion, and only then dispatched a large army to quell the rebellion, not to deal with us. Uncle, do you think, we are not in turmoil, is it necessary for the imperial court to mobilize a large army to do something to us? Kong Youde comforted.

Mao Chenglu shook his head: "But even if the imperial court believes that Liu Xingzuo is in rebellion, there is no need to send so many people, how much food will it cost?" With so much money and food to be distributed, and only one holy decree is needed, the generals of the Dongjiang River will inevitably rise up and behead Liu Xingzuo under the horse, why bother to mobilize the people? ”

"This ....." Kong Youde also hesitated.

However, no matter what, since the imperial court sent a large army to arrive, it could only meet it, and with the strength of Hirokashima, it did not have the capital to resist the imperial army.

"The right deputy capital of the Inspectorate Imperial History, Liaodong Jingluo, Lu! Who is this Lord Lu? Looking at the flag fluttering on the mast of the ship that sailed into the vicinity, Mao Chenglu was surprised.

Kong Youde also shook his head, saying that he had not heard of it.

For those of them who came out of the desert island, they really knew very little about the imperial court, and they had never heard of Lu Xiangsheng's name at all.

In the eyes of Mao Chenglu and others, a sea ship approached the wharf, the trestle was on the wharf, and a team of officers and soldiers walked down from the ship, and then sorted out the queue on the wharf.

One ship unloaded its soldiers and immediately sailed away, and another ship docked.

Gradually, there were more and more soldiers on the dock, Mao Chenglu didn't do much, just waited for Master Jinglu to get off the boat, but Kong Youde's face changed greatly.

"Uncle, look at their equipment!" Kong Youde said softly.

Mao Chenglu looked at it fixedly, and only then did he realize that these soldiers who got off the ship were so well-equipped!

Yishui's brand-new Mandarin Duck Battle Jacket is obviously inlaid with a large number of iron pieces, and its defensive power is amazing! The officers who led the team were all wearing fish scale armor, and the red tassels on their helmets were dazzling, which was the commander of more than 100 soldiers, and his equipment was excellent, even his own lieutenant general could not be compared!

The soldiers who disembarked from the ship had swords and shields, pikemen, and more firearms, and they did not hold three-eyed guns, but very long bird guns, the proportion of which was more than half. What shocked Mao Chenglu even more was that a team of more than 100 soldiers carried two tiger squat cannons, and even pushed one or two Franc cannons equipped with artillery trucks from each ship.

Looking at the army armed to the teeth, and then looking at the subordinates who are most like Hanako except for a few family members, Mao Chenglu suddenly felt deeply helpless, it is also the army of the imperial court, why is the gap so big?

"Who are you waiting for the Hiroshima Shogun?" At this moment, a young general walked up to them and asked in a loud voice.

Mao Chenglu hurriedly stepped forward: "Mao Chenglu, the deputy general of the Association in the lower front, was ordered to guard Guanglu Island. ”

The young general nodded: "Vice General Mao, Lord Jingluo is invited." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the middle finger of the sea.

Mao Chenglu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't Lord Jingluo going to the island?" ”

The young general said: "Before the soldiers go to the island to rest, Lord Jingluo will not go to the island, but there are some things that need to be ordered, so let me ask Vice General Mao to get on the boat." ”

Mao Chenglu hesitated a little and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

"Wait here first, I'll go and see Master Jinglue." Mao Chenglu said to the generals around him.

"Vice Marshal, let me go with you." Kong Youde hurriedly said.

Mao Chenglu glanced at the young general who gave the order, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he said, "It's okay." ”

Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde took an assault boat and sailed towards the bay, approached the big sea ship flying the flag of "Liaodong Jingluo", threw down the rope ladder from the boat, and the two climbed up.

After landing on the deck, they saw a middle-aged civil official wearing a crimson official robe with a burly figure and a cold face, looking at them quietly. Dozens of heavily armed officers and soldiers stood around the civilian officials, all staring at the two with expressionless faces.

"Meet the Lord Jinglue!" Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde fell to their knees on the deck and shouted loudly.

"Excuse me!" A cold voice came, and the two hurriedly stood up.

"You are Mao Wenlong's adopted son, Mao Chenglu, the defender of Guangludao?" Looking at Mao Chenglu standing in front, Lu Xiangsheng asked lightly.

"It's the last general." Mao Chenglu bowed and replied.

"Mao Chenglu, are you guilty?"

The calm words came out of Lu Xiangsheng's mouth, but it was no less than a thunderclap ringing in Mao Chenglu's ears, and Mao Chenglu felt his head slammed, and his body couldn't help shaking.

"The last general, the last general doesn't know." Mao Chenglu trembled.

"Lord Sun, the governor of Liaodong, asked you to garrison Guanglu Island and wait for an opportunity to capture Lushun Jinzhou, but you have been hustaring on Guanglu Island for several months, without making any progress, are you still not guilty?" Lu Xiangsheng said lightly.

"Lord Jinglu's grace," Mao Chenglu hurriedly said, "It's not that the last general won't fight Lushun, it's really that the island's grain is exhausted, in March this year, the imperial court transported a batch of food, but it was only enough for three months, these months, the soldiers and civilians on the island lived on shells and wild vegetables all day long, and many people have not seen a grain of grain for a month." It's not that the general doesn't obey orders, it's really a little powerless. ”

"What you said also makes sense," Lu Xiangsheng said, "It just so happens that Benjing has brought a batch of grain, which can be allocated to Guangludao, enough for the soldiers of Guangludao to eat for several months." ”

"Thank you, Lord Jinglue!" Mao Chenglu was overjoyed, he didn't expect this new manager to be so easy to speak.

"Ben Jinglu has just come to Dongjiang, and Vice Mao will leave you by Ben Jinglue's side for consultation." Lu Xiangsheng said again.

"Yes, sir." Mao Chenglu hurriedly agreed.

Kong Youde on the side showed a trace of worry on his face. Mao Chenglu didn't understand it, but Kong Youde understood, this Lu Jing was clearly the rhythm of detaining Mao Chenglu on this boat.
