Lin Xu stepped forward and looked coldly at the soldiers who were drifting away.

"Those Zhen Lasheng attacks and kills us, they must go to find a large group of people, which is why Huang Jin wants to escape."

In the previous ambush of the official road, these people obviously came prepared.

It's just that I didn't expect that the firearms of the Ming army guarding the merchants were so sharp, and the fans, who were not in an advantage in numbers, could only evacuate after dropping fifty or sixty corpses.

"If Zhenla's Shengfan really attacks Dongpu, he must have already fought with Chen Shangchuan, and we only need to chase after those Fanren, we can find Fanren's brigade, and if we find Fanren's brigade, we can naturally find Dongpu Mingren's camp."

Lin Xu's words made Brother Ding break out in a cold sweat.

"We still have to follow these people to find the base camp of the Zhenla people." Brother Ding's face was horrified, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"As early as this morning, when the attack failed to escape, I ordered Zhao Shen to follow with a few soldiers."

"They'll mark us along the way, and we'll go right away." Lin Xu looked at Brother Ding, saw that Brother Ding was pale, and patted him on the shoulder.

"I only trust you in the Ming merchants, and don't let other merchants know about this matter, lest they be frightened."

Brother Ding really wanted to cry without tears, he thought that it was sad enough to meet an escaped general, but he didn't expect to meet a more ruthless one.

Your own group of people is like a fat sheep, you might as well drive a group of fat sheep directly to the wolf's den, is it too long?

Brother Ding naturally didn't dare to tell the truth to the accompanying businessmen, so the group sorted it out, and set off after counting the goods.

Since several scouts had been sent out by Lin Xu yesterday, they specially followed behind this group of Zhenla soldiers and left marks along the way.

Following the marks left by Zhao Shen and the others, the group did not meet the Zhenla soldiers again.

I stumbled for a day or two, and I met several villages along the way.

Most of the people in the village had fled, and the Ming people could only search the village for some food and fresh water.

And learned some local information from some Ming elders in the local villages who had not yet escaped.

It turned out that Zhenla's soldiers had attacked the Ming people in Dongpu half a month ago.

Several Ming villages on the border were slaughtered, and the township soldiers in charge of guarding them were also beaten away by the Zhenla soldiers.

In the past half month, many Dongpu Ming people have fled to the mountains and forests with their families and mouths.

The Ming army in Dongpu also built a camp to confront the Zhenla soldiers.

After learning about the situation in Dongpu, Lin Xu hoped that these Chinese businessmen could stay in this village, and he took a squad of Ming officers and soldiers to investigate and ask for help.

However, the tragic situation of the villages and communities that were slaughtered by the Fan people along the way is still vivid, and these Chinese businessmen are not willing to stay in the village community after they are killed.

But fortunately, that night, they encountered a group of village soldiers near the village community.

These village soldiers were all dressed in local costumes, but they looked like Han people, and the number was about twenty or thirty people.

The weapons they carried were only some spears and rattan shields, but the two leaders were wearing armor.

After reporting their intentions again, the Ming officers and soldiers vigilantly let these people into the village community.

It turned out that these township soldiers were sent by the Dongpu Ming Army to contact the nearby Ming villages.

The Ming people of Dongpu built a walled city in Dongpu, and the development of nearby towns was also impressive.

For the attack of the Zhenla people, the Dongpu Ming people also had some precautions, but who would have thought that this time the Zhenla soldiers were not a skirmish of dozens of people, but thousands of people, which caught the township soldiers and officers and soldiers on the border off guard, and lost more than ten villages and communities on the border.

Under the guidance of the village soldiers, the group finally arrived at Nongnai City a few days later.

It was originally the old capital of Suzhenla, and was later occupied and developed by the Ming people who moved south.

The Ming people renovated the walls and dug moats.

Camps were also set up in several large villages in the vicinity, which served as horns for each other.

It was also connected to several small villages in the vicinity through the camp, and gradually connected a large area.

A large number of local Ming soldiers ran back and forth, and they were responsible for liaising with the various village communities and searching for the fleeing Ming people.

The Ming army in Dongpu, on the other hand, guarded the city of Nongnai and several major camps against the Chenla soldiers.

At this time, Chen Shangchuan was standing on the city wall and inspecting the deployment of the city wall with the generals.

He was shocked when his men reported to him that a caravan of Akito had arrived from Midi.

I couldn't help but look up at the city wall.

As the sun sets, a caravan is slowly walking down the path, only a mile from the city.

Chen Shangchuan looked at the Ming caravan not far away in disbelief, they actually came from Meidi.

Some time ago, when Zhenla gathered an army and suddenly attacked Dongpu.

Chen Shangchuan also sent a messenger to Meidi to report the news.

Unexpectedly, there was a torrential rain on the way, and some roads were destroyed by flash floods, and later the roads were muddy, and there were many blockages, and several groups of people were sent back in vain.

Fortunately, the torrential rain in those days also delayed the assembly of Zhenla Shengban, so that the Ming people of Dongpu had time to gather and relocate the people.

The generals present also looked at each other, and at this time, there was a caravan coming from Meidi.

How did they escape the layers of the Zhenla people?

"My lord, I'm afraid there is fraud." One of the generals worried.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Shangchuan shook his head and pointed to the caravan not far away.

"Look at the flag hoisted by this caravan, it is the merchant flag of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and the one behind it is the flag of Minghai."

Chen Shangchuan smiled, "How could that group of students in Zhenla know the banners of the four seas?" ”

After Chen Ande returned to Dongpu, he also reported the affairs of the Luzon Ming Court to Chen Shangchuan in detail, including the situation of the Sihai Commercial Bank.

For the commercial flag of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, Chen Shangchuan naturally knows.

Seeing that the city gate was gradually opened, Ming Shang and his party also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Many Chinese businessmen even collapsed directly on the ground.

This line can be said to be extremely dangerous, but under the escort of more than 30 Ming soldiers such as Lin Xu, more than 20 Ming merchants miraculously arrived in Nongnai City.

Even Ding Ge couldn't believe that he could arrive at its destination with this caravan and its cargo unscathed.

"In the Lower Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Minghai merchant Ding Ge specially went to Dongpu to trade on the orders of Lord Liu Yu." Brother Ding reluctantly smiled and hugged his fists.

"I didn't expect the Luzon merchant envoy to come from Meidi, and now the real Lafan soldiers are sealed, how did you come here?" Looking at the more than twenty carriages, Chen Shangchuan asked with a happy face and a hint of doubt.

"Thanks to Lin Xu, the assistant head of Fubo Town, and the escort of thirty Ming soldiers, we escaped the clutches of the Zhenla soldiers and came here safe and sound." Brother Ding also praised without hesitation.

For Lin Xu's group of Ming army guards, Brother Ding admired it from the bottom of his heart, thinking that if he returned to Laoag, he must inform Su Langqing and let Ming Hai reward this group of Ming army guards.

"Oh, it turned out to be this little brother, who is so capable at such a young age."

Under Brother Ding's instructions, Chen Shangchuan saw a flag officer in the middle of the caravan.

Lin Xu just clenched his fists, but his face was not very good.

The Chinese businessmen and their entourage have arrived in Nongnai City, and the mission of the Ming army has been completed.

It's just that he didn't receive the mark left by Zhao Shen a few days ago, and he doesn't know what happened to his brother now.
