Sijiao Island, Dabei Mountain.

"Ran away?"

Wang Yue said with interest.

"Yes, I landed in Jiangyin the evening before yesterday."

Fang Qifo said.

"Jiangyin? How did he run to Jiangyin and land, shouldn't he go directly south from Zhenjiang? You don't need to go to Jiangyin in Hangzhou, right? ”

Wang Yue said.

The great painter's escape was expected by him, otherwise he had worked so hard across the sea for something.

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass on the table next to him.

At this moment, he was still very comfortable, next to him was a temple, the masters of the temple set a table on top of him, let him sit on a chair and blow the sea breeze, and then sent him his best food, and added all kinds of freshly caught seafood, and drank locally brewed wine......

Well, it's actually not deserted.

In fact, there are still a lot of people on Sijiao Island, or Shengsi Islands, and there are also breweries, which is the only way for Mingzhou to trade with the Japanese and Goryeo, and a large number of merchant ships come to supply each year, including pirates who come to sell stolen goods, in short, this is a standard free port of this era. It belongs to Changguo County, Mingzhou, Liangzhejiang Road, and even has a military shop similar to a post station, but it is not in Dabei Mountain in Jiming Mountain, and there are military shops on Xugong Island and other islands to the west, which are specially used to guard against the invasion of the sea.

Like him, for example.

In fact, it was aimed at him, there was no military shop here, and it was because of the threat of the sailor in his hand that a military shop was set up to prevent him from crossing the sea.

But......

Such trifles have long been resolved.

More than one-third of the merchant ships that pass through the local area every year have their own relationship with Wang Yue.

Ming merchants from Liaodong, Liao merchants from Jinzhou, Great Song merchants from Lutai and Dengzhou, and even Mingjiao merchants from the south and north......

Which one can't buy off the local gentry?

There is no irreconcilable contradiction between the gentry and Wang Yue here, or they do not rely on the land to accumulate wealth.

It is mainly fishing and commerce.

At this moment, the entire expeditionary fleet was anchored in the bay to the north, and the local fishermen and merchants were reveling, using their small boats to carry all kinds of supplies, especially liquor, to these warships to trade, and by the way to bring the soldiers who needed to rest to the shore. The girls of the local special services are all gathered on the shore and wait, and then the whole fleet will rest here for three days, especially those soldiers who have landed and fought must have enough rest before landing and fighting.

In fact, it is unknown how long the rest will last.

Because you have to wait for the wind.

So far, Wang Yue has not determined where to land, and the next thing to determine is to see the direction of the wind.

At this time, it is a northwest wind, and it can only land in Zhoushan, and it is not a downwind sail, Wang Yue wants to see if he can change to the northeast wind, so even if he still lands in Zhoushan, it will be faster than at present, but it is best to go straight to Hangzhou, even if he can't go to Hangzhou, he has to land on the north bank of the Qiantang River.

It is said that in order to leave Zhenjiang, he also spent a lot of thought, first coaxed his subordinates to say that he wanted to drive the expedition in person, take his imperial camp to cross the river to Yangzhou by boat, and personally supervise the battle in Yangzhou, Yang Zaixing has broken through Xuyi, is leading the army south, Chen Yu and Liu Yanqing led two Huai armies are fighting a decisive battle with him. It is estimated that Zhao Ji is also self-aware, knowing that they can't stop Yang Zaixing, and he is afraid that once the front line is defeated, our army will go straight to the Yangtze River, and it is good that the Yangtze River can stop them at that time, in case they can't stop them, it will not be so easy to flee south.

After all, the canal was still frozen at this time, and he could only take the land route if he wanted to flee south, but our cavalry crossed the river, and it was easy to pursue him by land.

Therefore, he coaxed his subordinates to say that the royal driver was personally recruited.

But after boarding the ship in Zhenjiang, Gao Yu and others staged a mutiny.

In this way, even if Gao Yu and Cai You took the imperial camp mutiny and kidnapped him to flee south, rather than that he wanted to abandon those ministers and flee, so as to preserve his reputation, but in fact, everyone knows that those civilian ships that left Zhenjiang are taking this matter as a joke. It is said that after he left, Tan Zhi, who was arranged by him to stay behind, was beaten to death by those officials, and at this time, Zhenjiang had already begun to flee with those princes and nobles who had crossed to the south, and the whole Zhenjiang had been in chaos. ”

Fang Qifo said with a smile.

"Well, he's still ...... like that"

Wang Yue sighed with emotion, but he couldn't find the words to describe the great painter for a while.

"It's unstable!"

He said.

However, Ruan Xiaoqi beside him obviously didn't need to be the same as him, because he had to take care of Zhao Ji's face with his previous identity, and then they understood that they were immediately laughing.

I have to say that great painters are always so funny.

Fang Qifo also laughed.

He and Liang Shan have resolved their personal grievances.

After all, they are all bosses now, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in the previous matter, a group of bandits were fooled by the government to fight a gang of anti-thieves, and in the end both sides were defeated, so who is right and who is wrong? If the bandits continue to stand on the position of the government, it can indeed be said that they will continue to seek revenge on the thieves, but in fact, in the past few years, the thieves have been doing business honestly, but the bandits are actually doing the anti-thieves......

Fang Qifo, these people just killed officials and rebelled.

Shi Jin is bombarding the palace!

He not only bombarded the palace, but also hacked Cai Jing to death in front of the palace with his own hands.

However, it is impossible for the two sides to have a harmonious relationship, and it is inevitable that they will not like each other, but it is completely uninteresting to continue fighting, in fact, for these few people who followed Wang Yue on Liangshan, what happened back then was completely a shame, and now they don't even want to mention it.

And at this moment, in the laughter of these former thieves and bandits, only Yue Fei sighed gloomily.

Although as the law enforcement team of the Four People's Congress, his mission on this trip was to arrest the former emperor, but as a good person who grew up under the rule of a great painter and has always been educated in the idea of loyalty to the monarch, he is still ashamed of this person who has been regarded as a monarch since he was a child, especially in front of these bad people in his worldview. Of course, he knew that this big bald head was Fang La's remnants, and the sailor who was smiling very happily next to him was a Liangshan thief, as for Wang Yue, he was a rebel, and when such a group of guys were laughing at their former monarch, he could only sigh.

Shame on you!

It's a real shame!

"Don't laugh, he is also the father of the official family, our emperor before the Great Song Dynasty, it is rude to laugh at him!"

Wang Yue said.

Yue Fei couldn't help but sigh again.

"How's the battle going on the front?"

Wang Yue asked.

"I don't know for the time being, but my subordinates heard in Tongzhou that Chen Yu was carrying a coffin to the battlefield, saying that if the army was defeated, he would commit suicide and apologize, and the father and son of the Liu family all participated in the war, so it can be said that everything that can be fought in the south has gone, and it can be regarded as a decisive battle with all their might. Tongzhou didn't know that Zhao Ji had escaped, they all thought that he really went to Yangzhou to drive the expedition in person, and the local gentry were still hyping about it, but the merchant ships that left from Zhenjiang had already told them the truth, and Chen Yu already knew it at this time. ”

Fang Qifo said.

"The ministers are fighting bloodily, why did Your Majesty flee first?"

Wang Yue said with emotion.

Then the laughter that had stopped instantly rang out again.

Yue Fei could only sigh again.

"Okay, don't laugh at him anymore, since he has gone south from Jiangyin, then he should go to Wuxi today, and he should hurry up to Suzhou tomorrow, no, we have to change our plans, with his temperament, unless we can go straight to Hangzhou without knowing it, otherwise even if he arrives in Hangzhou, he will run away immediately, in case he runs into the mountains, it will be difficult to catch."

Wang Yue said.

This is indeed very likely, since the great painter ran so simply in Zhenjiang, once he heard the news of his attack in Hangzhou, I am afraid that he would immediately flee Hangzhou. And Hangzhou is mountainous to the west, if he really drills the ravine to go to Huizhou, or even continue west from Huizhou to Jiangxi, then he really can't expect to be able to catch it in a short time. After all, this guy is always so decisive when he runs, I have to say that this is also a natural skill, if he hadn't been forced back in history, he could have escaped the fate of the cellar of the Five Kingdoms City with his natural skill.

Originally, when he fled south, he even lied that he was a refugee in history.

This kind of person is good at running away.

If he really escaped from Hangzhou in advance, it would be very troublesome.

And it is difficult for Wang Yue to continue to keep secrets, even if the military shop on Xugong Island is also bought, but he still has to enter the Qiantang River after all, from the mouth of the Qiantang River to Hangzhou needs to sail against the current for a day or two, during this period it is useless to keep it secret, the two sides of the strait will eventually be able to find them, and the news will definitely reach the ears of the great painter before they arrive, if he runs so decisively, he will not be able to catch him.

"Or we can land directly in Pengpu and then go north to Xiuzhou."

Fang Qifo said.

"No, there is not enough time, now there is a headwind, even if it is paddling, it will take two days to reach Lupu, but at the normal speed, he should almost arrive in Xiuzhou in two more days, we can intercept between Xiuzhou and Chongde at most, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be missed, immediately give the order, all centipede ships are ready to set sail, the infantry brigade will board the ship immediately, and it must set sail before dark."

Wang Yue said.

"Going to Rypo?"

Fang Qifo said suspiciously.

"Can Jinshan enter the centipede ship?"

Wang Yue asked.

"Yes, it's just that there is no decent harbor there, just a large salt pan along the coast, and the likes of lucky ships are not good, but centipede ships are enough."

Fang Qifo said.

"Then go to Jinshan, we must arrive tomorrow morning, hurry, accelerate, accelerate."

Wang Yue said.

Set sail after dark, don't care about the route at sea, from the north of the big and small Yangshan to go straight into Jinshan, the voyage is 100 kilometers, and from Dengzhou to Lushun is about the same, the centipede ship falls sail against the wind, there is no problem with maintaining a cruising speed of four to five knots, twelve hours is almost there, and then from Jinshan directly into Jiaxing, that is, Xiuzhou.

Within two days there were enough infantry to rush to Xiuzhou.

Then wait for the big painter to come to the door near Xiuzhou, which is the safest.
