Liu Guoxuan stabilized the camp of the Oriental Naval Division, and immediately asked a few Jinyi guards who came with him to enter the city overnight to report, and in the imperial city, Zhu Jun still did not sleep in the middle of the night, the Ming army in the city was already ready, if Liu Guoxuan failed to appease him, the 30,000 Ming troops would be killed together, and the Jinxia Naval Division would be served in a pot. ~~. ~~

After getting the news of Liu Guoxuan's safety, Zhu Jun was already overjoyed, with the Jinxia Naval Division, the entire Daming Naval Division had two battalions, one was Liu Er's original Nanyang Naval Division, and the other was the newly recruited Oriental Naval Division, adding up to 20,000 people. Originally, those recruits who were transferred to the sailor battalion did not have to go anymore, they could all go to the marine battalion, so that the total number of the marine battalions was 20,000, and the 40,000 army was at your fingertips.

Zhu Jun put down his heart, and turned his attention to the city, the Zheng group is not only a powerful sailor, the subordinate heaven and earth will be even more intertwined in the South Seas, almost every city in the South Seas, has its rudder, although the Jinyi Guard under the imperial court has recently sent a certain number of probes and hidden piles in the ruling area and the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but its influence in the South Seas is very small, therefore, grasping the Heaven and Earth Society is even more important to Zhu Jun than the Jinxia Water Division.

In the Haidu Nancheng Post House, Chen Yonghua extinguished the lights in the wing, the emaciated figure sat quietly on the windowsill motionless, he was thinking, the fleet had just landed, and hundreds of people cheered along the coast, firecrackers, salutes, gongs and drums sounded together, this warm welcome paralyzed the king of Yanping, and also paralyzed himself.

So, in accordance with the regulations, the king of Yanping led the generals to land first, and the court officials along the coast stepped forward to greet them, on the surface polite, but in fact, unconsciously, the backbone generals of the king of Yanping and the Jinxia sailors had been surrounded by a group of military attachés. At this time, the decree was recited. In the holy decree, Liu Guoxuan was appointed as the commander of the Oriental Navy Battalion.

"Liu Guoxuan?" Chen Yonghua muttered this name, this person he knew, Chen Yonghua admired this person the most among the Jinxia Naval Division, this person was brave in battle, familiar with water warfare, and able to write and martial arts. He is a rare talent. When Yanping Wang Zheng Chenggong was alive, Chen Yonghua recommended Liu Guoxuan. It's a pity that Zheng Chenggong is strategic, and he will give priority to bravery, while Liu Guoxuan insists too much on his own ideas, so he is not reused.

Chen Yonghua did not believe that Liu Guoxuan was the meticulous work of the new first emperor who installed it in Jinxia. But why did the New First Emperor pull out this little-known young general in the Jinxia Water Division?

"What a clever discord plan." Chen Yonghua squinted his eyes, stroked his beard in his hand, and sighed in the darkness.

As soon as this holy decree came out, Liu Guoxuan immediately became a thorn in the side of the Jinxia Water Division, he had no way to retreat, if he still insisted on standing on the side of the Jinxia Water Division, then no matter what the victory or defeat, he would die. If the Ming army wins, the new first emperor will settle the score. He Liu Guoxuan doesn't know what to do. It's going to be unlucky. If it is Yanping Wang Sheng, Liu Guoxuan's identity is suspicious. Will King Yanping spare him? Liu Guoxuan has no way out, he wants to live. There was only one way to defect and take refuge in the new first emperor to oppose the king of Yanping.

Then there is the banquet of the new first emperor, the king of Yanping under the internal and external pressure, can not withdraw at all, can only enter the city into the palace, when the king of Yanping and the generals into the sea capital at the moment, the anti-Qing forces of the Jinxia family have been defeated, and it is no longer possible to become the enemy of the new first emperor, all the Han people will have only one leader in the future, that is, the famous, occupy thousands of miles of land in the South Seas, and have a strong ship and cannon.

After all, he was defeated, Chen Yonghua's heart flashed a trace of desolation, since ancient times, he has become a king and a defeated man, and when the prestige of King Yanping gradually wears off, will this insidious tomorrow spare him?

"Tuk tuk tuk..." There was a knock on the door of the wing, and a faint voice came in from outside the door: "Chief helmsman, Haidu helmsman Chen Sanxi asks to see." ”

Chen Yonghua's eyes lit up, and he suddenly got up, he was not completely without a chance, as long as Zheng Jing was rescued, the Jinxia Sailor was not without hope of recovery, he was dressed properly, gently opened the door bolt, pulled the door out of a gap, and soon, a black shadow flashed in from outside the door.

In the darkness, the black shadow reported to Chen Yonghua and said in a low voice: "Chief Chen helmsman." ”

Chen Yonghua nodded at the black shadow and said, "Is it Chen Sanxi?" What are you doing here? What's going on in the city now?"

"Chief helmsman, there is someone who wants to see you, and the little one is here to give you a message." Chen Sanxi's voice was cold and authentic.

"Oh?" Chen Yonghua frowned, he heard the change in Chen Sanxi's tone, and said quietly: "Chen Sanxi, how many years have you followed Chen?" ”

"Back to the chief helmsman, Xiaodi has been following you for seven years."

"Chen can trust his brother, then let me ask you, have you already descended a new beginning?" Although Chen Yonghua is a powerless scholar, there is a compelling momentum in his voice, otherwise how could he subdue so many heroes and heroes in Nanyang.

Chen Sanxi sighed slightly in the darkness and said: "The chief helmsman often teaches the little man to do the right thing, and now that the universe has fallen, it is the time for our hot-blooded men to protect the family and defend the country. ”

"The little one dares to ask the chief helmsman, is this world the Ming Emperor big, or the Yanping King? King Yanping said that he wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but it was the Ming Dynasty of His Majesty the New First Emperor? That being the case, the small ones are just following the teachings of the chief helmsman and doing their part for me. ”

Chen Yonghua was slightly stunned, at the beginning of the establishment of the Heaven and Earth Society, in order to win people's hearts, the slogan mentioned was to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and the Zheng family had a loss in legal theory, so try to avoid entanglement on this topic, and only let the members of the Heaven and Earth Society know that if you want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, you must follow Brother Wan Yunlong to fight the world together.

(Wan Yunlong: The pseudonym of Zheng Chenggong in the Heaven and Earth Society, and the members of the Heaven and Earth Society must respect Wan Yunlong as the leading brother.) ）

"The chief helmsman is a great talent, His Majesty the New First Emperor attaches great importance to you, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce tonight, and I am here to invite the chief helmsman Chen to enter the palace for a while." Chen Sanxi explained the intention.

Chen Yonghua bit his lower lip and snorted coldly: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other, you go and tell your master, Chen is deeply favored by the Zheng family, and he will never live up to the kindness of the country's surname." Your Majesty wants to kill, and you have to listen to it. ”

Chen Sanxi bowed slightly, and reported to Chen Yonghua: "Bo Yuntian, the general helmsman, will go back to restore his life in the future." He paused, saw Chen Yonghua's firm face, smiled lightly and continued: "The emperor also said to his subordinates that the life of King Yanping is completely in the hands of Chief Chen Helmsman. If the helmsman of Chen is unwilling to go. King Yanping is going to be dragged down by you. Leave! ”

Chen Sanxi has already arched his hand. Turn around and leave. Chen Yonghua's pale face hurriedly tugged at his sleeve: "Wait a minute, the emperor wants to harm King Yanping?" ”

Chen Sanxi nodded: "The conspiracy of King Yanping has been discovered by the emperor, he is just a small county king, and he dares to do such a rebellious thing." Does Lord Chen think the emperor will let him go? King Yanping kept shouting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, but in his heart he thought about such a rebellious thing, if the emperor exposed his crimes, the Han people in the world would spit on him. ”

"You lead the way and take Chen into the palace." The lights of the Cold Winter Pavilion are as bright as day, dozens of palace lamps are pulled by the little eunuchs, the little eunuchs with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes are swinging out, and Xiao Guizi is constantly pouring tea and water for Zhu Jun, who is sitting cross-legged in the hall, and Zhu Jun is wearing a set of leisurely robes. Elegantly blowing tea foam. Keep glancing out of the temple.

A little eunuch trotted in with a robe, leaned into Zhu Jun's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty." Mr. Chen came, just outside the hall. ”

"Pass him in." Zhu Jun touched the stubble on his chin. Heaven and Earth will be tightly organized, if you want to control him, you must control the chief helmsman Chen Yonghua, so that these Jianghu people who are hundreds of thousands of miles away can work for him, but is Chen Yonghua willing to take refuge in himself?

Everyone has weaknesses, some landowners are enthusiastic about making contributions, some just want to be promoted to official wealth, and some want to be famous and leave a history of affection, but what does this Chen Yonghua want?

"Under Chen Yonghua to see the emperor." Chen Yonghua entered the hall and saluted Zhu Jun without humility.

"Is it Mr. Chen? I can't sleep tonight, and I can't sleep when I want to come to Mr. Chen. Zhu Jun saw that his face showed no signs of surrender, and he didn't even do the usual kneeling ceremony, so he simply didn't see it and waved at him enthusiastically.

Chen Yonghua was also not polite, he sat cross-legged on the opposite side of the table, glanced at Zhu Jun with his eyes, and said, "The emperor is coming down, I'm afraid it's not just about Fengyuedi, right?" ”

Zhu Jun said solemnly: "I often hear Mr. Chen's name in Nanyang, this Nanyang reckless every time I talk about Mr. is a thumbs up and admires, of course I also want to see you as a hero, but it's just ......" Zhu Jun couldn't help but shake his head when he said this: "It's just that the reckless people are really ignorant, and they mistakenly think that Mr. Chen is a man who stands up to the sky, but they don't think that he is a cunning person who sells his reputation and reputation." ”

Since Chen Yonghua is not on the road, Zhu Jun's original plan of Corporal Lixian has been temporarily put on hold, to deal with this kind of person, it is better to use the radical general first, after all, Chen Yonghua is half of the underworld leader, and he probably attaches great importance to things like righteousness, and Zhu Jun plans to start from here.

Chen Yonghua didn't fall for Zhu Jun, his fingers played with the cups on the table, and said with a light smile: "Chen is not a hero in the first place, he is just a good man on the rivers and lakes who spreads falsehoods, why should the emperor listen to the words of the market?" It is necessary to know that in this world, if there is really a so-called hero, this person is not a great good, then he must be a great evil person. ”

"Happy, what I want to hear most is the truth, and if Mr. Chen can say this to me, he will already be considered a hero." Zhu Jun simply threw away his disguise, in front of this kind of person, it is useless to pretend. Chen Yonghua was able to say this in front of himself, at least it has proved his courage, and people who are not afraid of power are extremely small no matter what era they are.

"The emperor summoned Chen here late at night, but do you want to make a deal with Chen?" Chen Yonghua had already raised his cup, blowing tea foam, and raised his eyes calmly.

Zhu Jun glanced at Chen Yonghua deeply and said, "Since Mr. Chen wants to open the skylight and say something, I don't have to hide it." ”

Zhu Jun paused, and there was a trace of imperceptible greed in his eyes: "I want the Heaven and Earth Society, from the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, to the rudders in various places, and every member of the rudder, I have to master it." Mr. Chen, what do you want? ”

Chen Yonghua avoided Zhu Jun's scorching eyes and said, "What Chen wants is the lives of the King of Yanping and the generals of the Jinxia Naval Division, and not a single hair is missing." ”

"Well..."Zhu Jun looked embarrassed, and said: "King Yanping committed the great crime of rebellion, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Ling Chi should be executed, and his family should be exterminated." Was Mr. Chan's request too much? You must know that Mr. Chen's life is still in my hands. ”

Since it is a business, it is naturally a sky-high price and a return on the ground, and Zhu Jun's hesitation is just to add more chips to himself.

"King Yanping has no threat to His Majesty, not to mention that if the news of the infighting between the emperor and the king of Yanping spreads, no matter who is right or wrong, I am afraid it will have an impact on the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty. Chen Yonghua smiled uncertainly.

Zhu Jun chuckled: "Okay, I don't embarrass King Yanping, it's just that he can no longer go out of the sea capital, and the palace must also be guarded by brocade guards, and every move must be monitored." As for those generals..."Zhu Jun paused: "I don't want their lives, but I have to be confined for a few days first." ”

"My conditions are good enough, Mr. Chen, you should also show a little sincerity."

Chen Yonghua said solemnly: "Heaven and Earth will have a total of forty-seven rudders in Nanyang, each rudder varies from 100 to 500 people, and there are countless incense halls under the rudder, and the congregations are uneven, but there is no chance of winning. ”

"Okay, I believe that Mr. Chen is a man who keeps his promises, from tomorrow, the helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society will be officially renamed Nanzhen Fusi, and Mr. Chen will be the commander of the Zhenfu Division, in charge of Nanyang spying and disc newspaper affairs, and the other rudders and incense halls will have a will, and they can withdraw silver from the household department on time every month."

"I'm not an unsuspecting person, and at that time, I will also transfer a group of fans from the North Town Fu Division to the South Town Fu Division, first, so that you can familiarize yourself with a little bit of affairs allusions, and secondly, these people will also become a member of the South Town Fu Division, and everyone will supervise each other."

Chen Yonghua's face changed, and he said, "The emperor believes in Chen so much? Aren't you afraid that Chen has a bad heart? ”

Chen Yonghua originally thought that the emperor just wanted him to hand over the roster of each rudder, as well as the seal of the chief helmsman, and ordered each rudder.

"Why don't I believe you, I didn't let you deal with the Zheng family, I just want you to work for the anti-Qing cause, I heard that when the Qing army captured Tong'an, your father hanged himself in Minglun Hall. Will you betray me, destroy the entire anti-Qing foundation, and abandon the people in the fire and water for personal grievances? Zhu Jun stood up with his hands firmly in his hands, raised his eyes and said, "I don't believe you are such a person." ”

There is no way to let Chen Yonghua serve as the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, heaven and earth will be mixed, discipline will be disordered, if there is no prestige and ability to serve, I am afraid that it will fall apart immediately, Zhu Jun has no other choice.
