Seeing that Zheng Zhilong gave the order, everyone in the hall cheered and left.

After Zheng Zhibao saw that everyone was gone, he looked at his eldest brother.

"Big brother, are you really fighting?"

"That depends on the attitude of the red-haired ghost." Zheng Zhilong was noncommittal. "If they obediently hand over the grain, needless to say, if they don't pay, this battle must be fought, which is related to the face of the Ming Dynasty."

Zheng Zhibao nodded and did not speak.

The matter has come to this point, and it is indeed not a simple matter of whether or not the grain can be recovered, but it is related to the face of the Ming Dynasty.

Early the next morning

Zheng Zhilong set off with the fleet.

In order to show his determination, a total of 400 large and small warships and nearly 10,000 elite sailors were dispatched this time.

Standing on the deck of the flagship, Zheng Zhilong was full of spirits, there had been no war in the past two years, and he had almost forgotten the feeling of riding the wind and waves.

Ozara of Manila didn't know all this, and he was working with Franco on how to get the grain back to Spain.

"This time the rice output far exceeded expectations, and we didn't have enough boats, so we couldn't finish it in one trip."

"If you can't finish one trip, then make two trips, Your Majesty won't blame you." Ozala said with a smile, he could already think of Felipe's compliments on him.

"Yes, Lord Governor."

"How long will it take for all the grain to reach the port?"

"It's expected to be another ten days."

"Let them hurry. All of them who can't be sent within ten days are hanged, and these yellow-skinned monkeys are still living too well, and it is not okay not to give them some color to see. ”

"Yes, Lord Governor."

Zheng Zhilong's fleet was floating on the sea, and Ozara actively let the men below carry food.

And beside a stream in a distant ravine in Yunnan.

Nahai and Natonani were sitting around grilling fish caught from the river.

"Brother Hai, we've been gone for four or five days, how long will it take?" Nani sniffed, swallowed and said.

"We're in the right direction, we should be there in another seven or eight days."

"Alas, I don't know what happened to the young master."

"Don't worry, the four people that Uncle Quan took away are the highest martial arts in the clan, and it must be no problem to protect the young master's safety. Now the young master must have arrived at King Mu's Mansion a long time ago. Seeing that the fish was almost roasted, Nato picked up one and took a bite and said.

"That's just as well." Nani also picked up a fish, nibbled on it, and casually looked up and forgot to glance at the distant sky.

"Brother Hai! You see, what is that!? ”

Nani cried out in surprise with the fish in her mouth.

When Nahai heard this, he also turned around, and saw that about three or four miles away, in the direction of another ditch, puffs of smoke were slowly rising.

"On fire?"

"It doesn't look like it's like cooking smoke." That Haizhou said with a frown. "Don't eat it, go check it out."

After saying that, he extinguished the bonfire he had lit with earth, stopped eating the fish, and walked in the direction of the smoke with Nani and the others.

Half an hour later, the three of them hid in a dense forest, watching the troops stationed by the creek in the distance to cook.

"Brother Nahai. This is the troops of the imperial court? Nani looked at Qin Liangyu's white pole soldier and asked suspiciously.

"I've never seen this stomach before, it doesn't look like it."

"But who else in Yunnan can have such a well-equipped army besides the imperial court?"

Nahai shook his head and didn't speak.

He has never even been out of Yuanjiang when he is so big, how do you know what kind of army this is.

"You see those soldiers are all holding white-pole spears, they can't be the legendary Sichuan white-pole soldiers, right?"

"Nonsense. How did the White Pole Soldier end up here? ”

"Don't even speak." Nahai raised his hand to stop the two who were guessing blindly, and he saw Mu Tianbo in military uniform.

Although he hadn't seen Mu Tianbo, he had seen the Ming army general's armor on him.

"This is the army of the imperial court!" Nahai said categorically.

"The army of the imperial court? How did it get here? Yes! It must be the reinforcements that the young master asked for from the imperial court! ”

Nahai glanced at the surprised two and made up his mind.

"Stay here, I'll go down and see. If it's really reinforcements from the imperial court, I'll call you again. If not, you should flee quickly, continue north, and go to find the young master. ”

"But..."

"No, but!" After Nahai finished speaking, he immediately walked in the direction where the Ming army was stationed.

Mu Tianbo was talking to Qin Liangyu when he heard a burst of shouting and commotion from the periphery.

"What's going on?"

"Check it out."

The two walked to the perimeter, and it turned out that the soldier in charge of the guard had caught a sneaky man.

"Who are you?"

The sea didn't say a word.

He couldn't understand the official language.

"Grandpa, looking at his dress, he should be from the Dai tribe, please allow his subordinates to come down and ask him." One of Mu Tianbo's soldiers said.

"Okay."

The soldier got his approval and began to communicate with Nahai.

The two stopped after a babbling conversation.

"How?" Mu Tianbo asked.

"He asked us if we were the army of the imperial court! The subordinate said yes. Then he said that he was from Fenghua, and his name was Nahai. Pu Ming captured Fenghua, and he fled all the way from Fenghua. ”

"Fenghua? That sea? Mu Tianbo frowned. You ask him if he knows Na Song? ”

The soldier nodded, and looked back at the sea.

"Do you recognize Na Song?"

When Nahai heard this, his face immediately showed joy, and he nodded again and again.

This time, Mu Tianbo didn't need to translate, and he could see that this sea knew that Song.

"Acquaintance?"

"Yes, I know, I said that Na Song is his young master."

"Let's go, take him to Na Song." As he spoke, he confessed to Qin Liangyu, and took Nahai to the army camp of King Mu's Mansion.

Book of Hundred Leagues

The two armies were not stationed together, but they were not far away.

Na Song was eating with Na Quan, and he heard Mu Tianbo calling himself.

"Grandpa, didn't you say that you went to General Qin to ask about something, why did you come back so soon?"

"Haha, there's something wrong with coming back. Who do you see behind me? ”

Mu Tianbo laughed and turned sideways. Na Song looked at it and stood up in surprise.

"Brother Hai!? Why are you here!? ”

Originally, Nahai was still a little apprehensive, and when he saw Na Song, his eyes immediately turned red. Fell to his knees with a thud.

"Young Master!"

After screaming, he lay on the ground and cried silently. Seeing this, Mu Tianbo quietly turned around and left.

Na Song hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Brother Hai, don't cry! I already know about my father! I'll avenge him! ”

The whole group also surrounded them, and when the clansmen met, they couldn't help but sigh.

It took a while for the sea to calm down.

"Brother Hai, do you know who brought you over just now?"

"Who is it?" Nahai was also a little curious, he couldn't understand the official language, but he could also see the respect of the people around him.

"It's the grandfather of King Mu's mansion."

"What?"

Nahai's eyes widened, that young man just now turned out to be the Duke of Qianguo?

Na Song was surprised when he saw Na Hai, and he no longer hid it, and immediately told him and Na Quan all the way north and a series of things that happened after they arrived in Kunming. The sea that listened was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the young master not only invited the current Qianguo Gong, but also invited the famous female general Qin Liangyu, and he actually asked Natuo to be right!

"Didn't you say that Nato and Nani were with you? What about people? ”

"Ouch! Forget about them, they lie on their stomachs in the woods. Young master, I have to hurry up and find them, or they will run away when the time comes! ”

The three of them agreed, and if the sea did not return to the two after two quarters of an hour, they would flee.

Nato in the forest saw that the sea had not returned for a long time, and began to be anxious.

"What should I do? Shall we run? ”

"Wait."

"Good. Then wait a little longer, then I'll see you! ”

Before Nani could finish speaking, they saw that the sea was running towards them, followed by Naquan.

"It's Uncle Quan!"

Nato also screamed in surprise, and got out of the grass to meet Nahai and the others.

The two of them let go of their hanging hearts and finally found the organization.

In the next few days, Nahai and the others followed the march of the large army, and walked for six or seven days, before they came to Wumiao Chongshan in the evening, and the army stopped. At this time, it was less than fifty miles away from Fenghua.

Qin Liangyu stopped and found Mu Tianbo.

"Grandpa, this place is less than fifty miles away from Fenghua, and it's getting late now. How about a night's rest and then an attack tomorrow? ”

"Good! Everything is up to General Qin. ”

"Then it's decided."

After obtaining Mu Tianbo's consent, the army was stationed at the foot of the mountain, making various preparations in front of the station.

Dozens of miles away in Fenghua, Pu Ming and Sha Yuan are also discussing the next goal of marching.

"Lao Sha, I still think it's better to capture Gongshun Prefecture, so that the entire Yuanjiang will be under our control."

"But the loss of the soldiers brought by our expedition this time is not small, if we divide the troops again, how can this Fenghua be defended?"

"Didn't you send a letter back and ask Dingzhou to bring troops to support?"

"yes, but I'm afraid it won't be a few days away."

"Then let's wait a few more days."

Pu Mingsheng thought for a moment and made a decision that he regretted.
