Chapter 254: The Sailor Station

There are some things that are only suitable for keeping in the bottom of your heart, not for telling others. Besides, Zhang Zheng just felt that something was wrong, but there was no evidence.

It is not appropriate to rashly tell Li Chengqian that he suspects the history of Yizhou's assassination. As the light boat went ashore, everyone suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness coming.

The river is wide and bottomless. The surface of the water seems to be gentle, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging underwater, and the boat is naturally not as smooth as on the canal.

Compared with other types of troops, the Tang Naval Division may not be so well-known in later generations. But the combat effectiveness of the Datang Navy Division is definitely not weak!

Not to mention the battle of Baekekakou during the Gojong period, which is famous for later generations. It is said that the battle with the Tang Dynasty Navy Division as the main force during the Zhenguan period, the most famous is Li Jing and Li Xiaogong to pacify the south of the Yangtze River and destroy Xiao Milling.

In the face of the largest separatist force in the south of the Yangtze River, the main force of the Tang Navy Division was under the leadership of Li Xiaogong and Li Jing. In just a few months, hundreds of cities in the south of the Yangtze River were broken in a row, and its military prestige was as powerful as a bamboo.

Not only that, but Li Jing's pacification of Lingnan is also indispensable to the figure of the Tang Dynasty sailors. Today, the total number of Datang sailors is about 40,000.

Among them, 20,000 were stationed at the mouth of Dengzhou with Zhang Liang, the commander of the Tang Dynasty Naval Division. The other 20,000 people were stationed on the river to suppress the land south of the Yangtze River, and belonged to the Zhonglang general Liu Renyuan!

Now one of the Jiangnan sailors is in Shengzhou, that is, in the riverside Daze near Jinling.

This is the place where the scribe took Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian to the Jiangnan Navy Division. Yangzhou is only half a day's journey from Jinling, from the river upstream.

Towards the end of the afternoon, everyone entered the section of the river under the rule of Shengzhou. What Zhang Zheng didn't expect was that there were no seasick guards on the Grand Canal.

After sailing on the river for just half a day, there were seasickness one after another. Therefore, after coming to the territory of Jinling, the sailors who operated the boat had to slow down the speed of the boat.

Although the river network in the north is dense, most northerners are not good at water, and seasickness is also a matter of no choice.

Zhang Zheng can only let them adapt first. When they reached the section of the river near Jinling, the scribe whispered a few words in the ears of the sailors who were operating the boat.

The sailors who operated the boat extradited the boat into the reeds by the river. After crossing a wide reed swamp, the water in front of me suddenly opened up.

This is a large river on the bank of the river, and the scribes and sailors can't name the specific name. The boat of Zhang Zheng and his party had just sailed into the range of Daze, and the reeds not far away did not know when two warships would sail out.

"The military plane is heavy, and people stop coming!" Before Zhang Zheng and his party approached, a sergeant on the boat came out and shouted to the boat on which Zhang Zheng was riding.

The scribe stood up, waved at the two warships and shouted: "Angels are coming, angels are coming, where is Liu Ren, the general of Guide Zhonglang?" It's just that the voice of the scribe is too small, and even if he jumps to his feet, the soldiers on the opposite battleship can't hear what he is shouting.

Chen Yu took a step forward and shouted at the battleship: "The angel is coming, where is Liu Ren, the general of Guide Zhonglang?" "Chen Yu is a person who practices martial arts, and his voice is loud, I don't know how many decibels higher than the scribes.

The soldiers on the opposite battleship couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then hurriedly stopped the advancing battleship. Then a small boat was thrown from the battleship, and an officer-like soldier and his retinue jumped off the battleship and boarded the boat.

After a while, several sergeants came to the front of the passenger boat that Zhang Zheng was on.

"This general is Xuanjie Captain Du Cong, the angel is coming, and he is not welcome." The officer headed by Chen Yu hugged his fist and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Chen Yu took a step back, and Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian came to the officer and said, "I am Zhang Zheng, the Bo of Weinan County, and this person next to me is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty. On the orders of His Majesty, he inspected the place, this is the golden book of His Royal Highness the Prince, and asked Captain Du to take us to see General Zhonglang. Zhang Zheng put Li Chengqian's golden book in front of the captain's eyes and put it away.

came too quickly from Chang'an, and Zhang Zheng did not get Li Shimin's holy decree to act cheaply, but Li Chengqian's golden book also had the same effect.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that the immature and young man next to Zhang Zheng was His Royal Highness the Prince, the school captain was shocked when he heard this.

Du Cong hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The last general doesn't know that His Highness is in person, and he asks His Majesty to atone for his sins." And the scribe was also horrified.

It was His Royal Highness the Prince, so he brought a few people to Jiangnan. Isn't this nonsense?

Don't Your Majesty and the princes above the court care? Li Chengqian waved his hand: "It's okay, quickly lead the orphan to see Liu Renyuan!" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wait a minute!" Du Chung didn't dare to slack off, so a soldier raised a chess piece and waved two flags at the two warships.

After receiving the information, the two warships drove the ships to quickly approach Zhang Zheng. Zhang Zheng looked at this scene with interest, and it seemed that Datang's flag language seemed to be very perfect.

As soon as the two warships approached, they put the deck on the board of the ship to the passenger ship where Zhang Zheng and the others were. Du Cong hugged his fists at the two and said, "Your Highness, Uncle Zhang, please get on the boat!" With that, he himself stood on the deck and jumped twice.

This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy in any detail. After Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian got on one of the warships, Du Cong gave an order.

In an instant, the soldiers on the ship crowded around Li Chengqian and tightly surrounded Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng in the middle.

All of them are like big enemies, for fear that something will happen to the two of them. The corners of Zhang Zheng's mouth twitched, which was somewhat exaggerated.

However, the two did not blame Du Cong for making a fuss, after all, he was just a Xuanjie captain.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Xiannan, please enter the room later, the general's camp tent is sixty miles west of Daze, and it will take about an hour!" Du Cong looked restrained and led Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian to the rest room on the battleship.

It may be that Li Chengqian's sudden arrival in Jiangnan caused him too much impact, and now he is still confused.

Zhang Zheng nodded and said, "It's okay, Captain Du can go and do your business, let's enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan on the boat first." ”

"This ......" Du Cong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian before he could say anything: "Captain Du go and get busy, with these soldiers here, there will be nothing to do." ”

"Yes!" Du Cong said yes, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to leave Li Chengqian too far. Seeing Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian standing side by side on the deck, they seemed to be looking at the scenery on the riverbank.

He led a team of sailors and soldiers to follow behind the two, always paying attention to their movements. Zhang Zheng saw that Du Cong followed him and Li Chengqian inch by inch, but he didn't speak again.

Instead, he instructed Chen Yu to send the seasick brothers to rest first.
