445 Lord Thorn returns to the city
The eldest princess of Xuan'an, now lives in the Jiangdu Thorn Mansion?
Ah Dian whispered again: "I also ate dumplings with Uncle Chang during the New Year......"
Chang Sui Ning was even more surprised - the eldest princess actually left Xuanzhou and stayed in Jiangdu to celebrate the New Year with Lao Chang?
"Uncle Chang won't let me talk about ......"
As soon as he got off the boat, Wu Jie, who was wearing a gray robe, smelled the gossip and quickly followed, and as soon as he stretched his head over, he heard Ah Dian say such an attractive sentence.
Wu Ji grabbed Ah Dian, with a loving smile on his face: "Look at our Ah Dian, I haven't seen him for a few months, and I have grown taller again!" ”
Ah Dian has never resisted such praise, and he was smug when he heard this: "Of course, I eat a lot of food every day!" ”
Wu Ji nodded with satisfaction, and talked about his longing for Ah Dian: "...... The dried fish from the island and the citrus from Tamna, I asked you for a lot at first, and I was going to bring them back! ”
Ah Dian's eyes lit up: "Where is it?" ”
Wu Ji smiled and patted his stomach: "...... I had been delayed in Dongluo for too long, and those things couldn't be put away, and I saw that they were going to break, so I had to put them in my stomach first...... But I have a point in my heart! ”
Although Ah Dian was a little disappointed when he heard this, he was not angry at all, but quickly nodded: "You are not in good health now, you should eat more!" ”
He said very generously: "I don't have a shortage of delicious food in Jiang, Uncle Meng also bought me a lot of snacks yesterday, I specially hid it before I came, and when I return to the city, let's eat together!" ”
In the face of such a sincere and soft heart, he was moved and felt that he was not a thing, but this did not delay him from taking the opportunity to ask Ah Dian: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, come, tell me about your Uncle Chang first......"
"Uncle Chang can already walk on crutches, and his voice is loud, especially when he swears!"
Ah Dian dropped this sentence, broke free of the endless entanglement, and quickly chased Chang Suining.
Endless sigh - that's not what he wants to hear!
Wu never gave up, wanted to catch up, but was squeezed by the excited soldiers and almost fell, but fortunately, Yuan Xiang's eyes were fast, and he held Wu Yong: "Master, you slow down!" ”
Yuan Xiang not only held the person up, but also had no intention of letting go for a while, and patiently helped Wuji to move forward - others don't know who this annoying Master Xuanyangzi is, can he still not know? is one of Chang Niangzi's fathers, even if he is occasionally a little annoying, but for the sake of his own governor, he has to respect it well.
Chang Suining, who was walking in front, went further, more and more subordinates came up.
Fang Chao and the others were also waiting here, and they were saluting Chang Suining at this moment: "My lord is finally back!" ”
Chang Suining looked at Fang Chao and nodded with a smile: "Sect Leader Fang looks much burlier. ”
As a big sect leader and maintaining such a burly and sturdy body, it can be seen that even after the news of the great victory at sea came back, he never slackened his training.
In addition to the sailors taken by Chang Suining, excluding the 30,000 reinforcements from the imperial court, there are still more than 40,000 troops in the Jiangdu military camp, plus the Xu rebels who were reorganized in Jiangdu in situ and the imperial court prisoners who fell into the hands of Xu Zhengye, etc., a total of nearly 90,000 people, all of which have been within the scope of Fang Chao and others' training in these days.
"Since the adults left for more than half a year, we have never slacked off for half a day, and there are a total of 90,000 soldiers in this camp, waiting for the adults to review at any time!" Fang Chao's voice was loud, and his eyes were attentive.
Chang Suining nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Okay, don't worry." ”
She looked at the leaders behind Fang Hive, and at the soldiers who were waiting in front of her, or in charge of maintaining order.
Whether the soldier's breath is full or not, you only need to sweep it away, and you can see the general idea at a glance.
Accompanied by Fang Chao and the others, Chang Suining walked forward in a good mood, looking past the sturdy soldiers and looking at the fishermen and people on both sides.
They shouted "Chang Thorn History" in their mouths, their voices mixed together, the noise was high, and their eyes were full of excitement and gratitude.
The people who were closer almost unconsciously withdrew their voices when Chang Sui Ning looked at them.
When he saw the momentum and face of the approaching blue-robed young man, a young fisherman crowded at the front was suddenly stunned.
He looked at the girl almost without blinking.
The girl was dressed in a green robe, her complexion was like the best pearl of the sea he had ever seen, her body was neat and sassy, and there was a faint and warm smile between her already cold eyebrows.
She said to them in a bright and clear voice: "In the past two years, Jiangdu has been trampled by the rebels and coveted by the thieves, which has made everyone frightened and suffered. Now the river is in turmoil, the sea has been flat, when the sea opens next month, I believe you will be able to fish and shrimp full cabin, full load! ”
At the end, the girl's face was bright with a smile on her face, and it was such a good weather.
Her words were plain, but they were what the fishermen wanted to hear the most, some people couldn't help but have red eyes, and some older fishermen knelt down and thanked them, and their words were even more simple: "All this is your kindness, my lord!" ”
"It is the blessing of Jiangdu to have the protection of Lord Shi!"
Chang Suining had already left, but the fishermen still thanked her one after another, only the young fisherman stood still stupidly.
Seeing that he was really conspicuous, the companion next to him raised his hand and pulled him: "...... Yellow croaker! What are you doing in a daze! ”
The young man surnamed Huang Mingyu came back to his senses, glanced around, and quickly knelt down, his eyes still following the back of the departing girl, and he couldn't help but muttered in disbelief: "Why is it so similar...... Could it be that it's really up? ”
He had seen the former prince when he was young, and although his memory was a little blurry, how did he look at it, how did he feel like it...... Especially the momentum, it's exactly the same.
Is it because they are all on the seaside, they have all won battles, they are all the same young people, and they are all very good-looking...... So he got confused?
Huang Yu was out of his mind and was dragged up by his companions: "Lord Thorn Shi has gone away, don't kneel when you should kneel, and don't get up when you should ...... Yellow croaker, what do you want? ”
The yellow croaker was still stunned, and for a while it was inexplicably trapped in the unreal, and subconsciously raised its eyes to look at the sea, it was noon, and the sea water was reflected in the sunlight, and the floating waves were a little dazzling.
In the noise, someone said loudly: "Lord Thorn Shi personally said that the sea will be opened as usual next month, go, and go home to mend the net!" ”
"Third master, this time you come to my ship to help, I'll give you this number!"
An old man smiled and waved his hand: "I haven't been out of the sea for many years......"
Listening to these chaotic sounds, Huang Yu was still staring at the sea, and in a trance, he seemed to hear his father's voice again-
My father always wanted to go to the farther sea, but the older generation did not approve of it, saying that it was too dangerous and no one had ever been there, and it would be good to guard the sea in front of him and have enough food and clothing.
When he was young, he also thought about following his father's last wish, but the pirates were rampant, and many pirates of unknown origin were ravaging and plundering......
But this time it seems to be different!
They heard that Chang Assassin Shi was in the Wa Kingdom, which made the Wa State make a promise to eliminate and control the Wakos, and their Jiangdu Sailors were so brave that they had made such a prestige at sea this time......
Tamna Island, Dongluo, will also continue to maintain friendly exchanges with Dasheng.
Huang Yu's heart gradually stirred, and he turned his head and asked his companion: "Big shell, you say, what kind of world is outside the Yellow Water Ocean and the East River?" What's new? ”
Seeing his expression, his companion couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, you want to go to the open sea?" ”
The yellow croaker nodded in amazement.
"There's got to be a big ship!" His companion laughed at his whimsy: "It's not for our broken fishing boats!" ”
"Big ship...... Huang Yu's eyes moved, and he suddenly asked: "Isn't it possible to build a big ship in Lord Thorn's shipyard?" ”
"That's a warship used to fight pirates!"
Huang Fish: "But the thieves are already done!" Why are you still recruiting, and I heard that you have to step up shipbuilding? ”
When the companion heard this, he was also stunned.
"I see!" Huang Yu's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited, so he said incoherently: "Lord Thorn Shi must want to take the opportunity to open up a few more sea routes when he plays such a majestic role on the sea!" That's why there is a shipyard! It's not just a ship built for war! ”
The companion said, "...... That's also for those big businessmen, and we don't have the money to buy big ships to go to sea for business......"
"Even if we can't afford it, we can follow it and learn more!" Huang Yu said: "Those maritime merchants, don't many of them follow the sea first and start from scratch step by step? ”
His companion only laughed at him: "In broad daylight, what are you dreaming of making a fortune, let's hurry home and mend the net!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and left first.
The yellow croaker was still immersed in this "sweet dream", and it seemed that he had seen the rumored novel and mysterious things overseas, and he was dizzy for a while.
While he was still dreaming, some people were already making a fortune -
A man in a shabby robe holds aloft a scribbled portrait of a painter in his hand: "...... Portrait of Chang Thorn History, ten cents a piece! To ward off evil spirits and drive away evil, it is a must-have for going out on board! ”
"Give me one!"
"Draw me one too!"
The yellow croaker also rushed into the crowd: "Give me a ...... No, I want two! ”
One is hanging on the boat, and the other is hanging next to the statue of the first prince!
Chang Suining led 30,000 sailors back to the army and settled the army, it was getting late.
After returning to Jiangdu City from the army, it was only a one-day journey, and Lu Xiucai suggested that Chang Suining rest in the army for one night and leave for the city early tomorrow morning.
During these days, Lu Xiucai stayed in the barracks to take care of affairs, and Wang Changshi sent several other scribes to assist. Decisions in the army, big and small, are usually finalized by Chang Kuo after his eyes, and they are only responsible for the handover and implementation, and the division of labor is clear on weekdays, and everything is in order.
Fang Chao also wanted Chang Sui Ning to leave tomorrow morning, so that he could still see the results of his training tomorrow morning.
He now looks like a man who has been trained all over his body, and he can't wait to strip and show it.
Chang Sui Ning invisibly pressed his undressing hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, first settle the soldiers I brought back, and let them slow down." In a few days, I will come to the army to celebrate, and after that, I will come to the army every ten days, and there will be opportunities. ”
Fang Chao could only nod: "Okay!" It's all up to the adults! ”
So, as soon as Chang Sui Ning led people out of the barracks with his front foot, Fang Chao's back foot summoned his leaders and said solemnly: "Listen to it, the adults will come to the camp to celebrate in a few days, and then we will just celebrate the military drill, and we will hurry up and practice these days!" ”
The leaders of the sect should speak loudly and pay great attention to it.
The news spread in the camp, and at night, some soldiers tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so they simply secretly dressed and got up, and went to the martial arts arena.
I think that at the beginning, they all followed Lord Thorn Shi to fight Xu Zhengye and then returned to Jiangdu, but when it was time to train the water master, Lord Thorn Shi divided them into two, one half practiced water affairs, and most of them stayed on land-
As a result, the war against the Japanese was all fought by the small half of the people, and those people followed the birth and death of Lord Assassin Shi, made meritorious contributions, and became the most majestic sailor on the Yellow Water Ocean......
In the face of those water brothers, their admiration is true, but pink eye has also been completely attacked.
In contrast, they stayed in this barracks, except for eating and sleeping every day, and only occasionally patrolling in batches...... Now that Lord Thorn Shi has finally returned, they will definitely do a good job in a few days, and they must not make adults think that they are eating idle food!
With this determination, several soldiers came to the martial arts arena together, but they saw that there were already many people here......
Some people are running at night with sandbags, some are practicing arrows under torches, and some are fighting each other with spears.
And when I got closer, I saw that those people were all people who didn't have copper plates on their bodies - in short, most of them were the previous Jiangdu prisoners and the newly recruited people.
These newcomers don't sleep late at night, and they practice frantically here, I'm afraid they don't want to shake their status!
Abominable, hateful, terrible!
When the atmosphere of competition in the martial arts arena spread, Chang Suining and his party of thousands of horsemen were rushing back to Jiangdu City in the moonlight.
Among these thousand people, most of them were Chang Suining's personal soldiers, as well as generals who had made great achievements in the war against the Japanese.
Chang Suining, who had slept on the boat for several days, was like an arrow at this moment.
The last time she returned to Jiangdu was on July 7 last year, when the plaque was hung for the Wuer Academy, nearly eight months ago.
She couldn't wait to see what Jiangdu City looked like now.
At the beginning of the next day, the outline of the reinforced city wall of Jiangdu City faintly appeared in front of it.
The city gate has only just opened, but it is already a lively scene of people and traders coming and going.
The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the people and attracted the attention of the guards at the city gates.
In the end, it was a year of war, although Jiangdu was safe, but it was not calm at all, although the guards felt that under the layers of defense, it was impossible for the enemy army to attack Jiangdu without a sound, but they still subconsciously became vigilant, and just as they were urging the people to enter the city, a cavalry who had already ridden his horse approached-
The cavalryman waved the Changzi handsome flag in one hand and said loudly: "Lord Assassin Shi returns to the city!" ”
"Lord Thorn Shi is back in the city!"
The cavalryman shouted several times in a row, and it was clearly heard in the ears of everyone.
The guards at the city gate finally came back to their senses and said excitedly: "Lord Thorn Shi...... It's Lord Thorn who is back! Fast! Hurry up! ”
The atmosphere among the people was also boiling.
I really didn't expect that the early birds would not only eat insects, but also see such freshly baked ...... No, the freshly returned thorn to the city!
Ordinary people can't find out about the military situation, and they don't know when their assassin will return, but they only look forward to it day by day...... God knows how long they've been waiting for it!
Good night, see you tomorrow~
