Zhu Piaoling: "Not far to the south of Chongming Island, is Suzhou?" Hehe, then I'm going to get off the boat here, and go all the way from here to Nanjing. Master Shi, Tie Yuanwai, Jiang Jiaoxi, we will have a period later. ”

Shi Kefa was really a little worried about whether this innocent rich second generation could get along in Jiangnan, and said in a low voice: "Zhu Daxia, Jiangnan Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, you have to be careful here, don't be too public." I can see that you have an identity and a background, and there are people in the court at home, but it can be seen from the fact that you are masked, your identity cannot be exposed, and the background of the family naturally cannot be used. So you have to keep a low profile, a low profile! ”

Zhu Piaoling smiled: "I know, low-key is the king, right?" I'm just going to go shopping, and then I'll come to Anqing to find you. ”

Shi Kefa didn't say anything more.

The Wanli Sunshine stopped by the river for a while, and Zhu Piaoling and his party boarded the boat and landed and drifted away.

"Well, I'm still worried." Shi Kefa looked at his distant back: "This person has obviously never seen the world, I'm really afraid that he will provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked." ”

Tie Bird Fei smiled: "Although he is a rookie, the guards around him are not simple, don't worry." ”

"Hmm!" Shi Kefa's spirit perked up: "That's right, I don't have time to worry about others, Anqing will be here soon, and the official will also roll up his sleeves and do a lot of work." I want to apply the knowledge I have learned in Gaojia Village to government affairs, and strive to make the people of Anqing Mansion live a good life. ”

After passing Chongming Island, the Wanli Sunshine officially entered the Yangtze River channel.

The hydrological condition of the Yangtze River is much better than that of the Yellow River, the river is wide and deep, and it is not difficult to navigate, and it is easy to reach Nanjing.

Nanjing Xinjiangkou is the garrison of the Daming Water Division.

At its peak, there were 400 large warships, 400 large tankers, and countless smaller ships.

But by the time of Chongzhen, Nanjing had become a place of exile for officials, and the Daming Sailor had also ...... Ahem......

There are very few large warships stationed at Xinjiangkou, and only a large number of tankers remain, carrying tanks of grain in and out.

As soon as the huge Wanli Sunshine appeared outside the mouth of the new river, those trough ships were frightened and scurried all over the river: "Wakou! The Japanese came to grab the grain. ”

Fortunately, this time Shi Kefa was already prepared, holding an iron shouting microphone, standing at the bow of the boat, and shouting loudly: "This is the ship of the imperial court, there is no need to be frightened, this is the ship of the imperial court, there is no need to be frightened......"

He kept repeating it over and over again, just like Sanbangzi kept repeating "Please pay attention to reversing", and the thief had a sense of joy.

The three collapses are repeating with the electric horn, but Shi Kefa is shouting by himself, the level of fatigue is really different, it didn't take long for Shi Kefa's voice to be dumb-

Anqing House, Anqing Wharf.

Wang Gongbi, the political envoy of the right side, sat on the edge of the dock, looking at the trough ships on the dock, with a sad face.

At the beginning of the eighth year of Chongzhen, after the army of the Eight Kings of Xiying (Zhang Xianzhong) broke through Fengyang and burned the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family, some of his subordinates did not return to Henan, but continued to go south and invaded the border of Anhui.

These thieves soon merged with the local mountain thieves and water thieves in Anhui, and the strongest one of them was called the Huangmei Water Thief.

After receiving the support of the Eight Kings on land, the Huangmei water thieves have become more powerful, and now they have reached the point where they can brazenly block the river and rob the official ships.

In particular, the trough ships of the government are the key targets of the Huangmei water thieves.

At this time, Anqing still belonged to Nanzhili and was under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and the imperial court sent the right political envoy Si Wang Gongbi to let him "move to Anqing by order" to deal with the Jiangbei thieves and protect the trough ship.

Wang Gongbi took office ambitiously, and his first action was to count An Qingwei, wanting to organize the guards and fight to the death with the eight kings.

As a result of this check......

Wang Gongbi was dumbfounded!

Anqing's guards were short in terms of number and rations, and their armaments were seriously depleted, so they had no combat effectiveness at all.

Not to mention fighting against the Eight Great Kings Army, even the Huangmei Water Thief who was the younger brother of the Eight Great Kings couldn't clean it up.

Wang Gongbi hugged his head and worried: "What should I do?" What can I do? It's over, it's completely over. ”

"Report!" A scout rushed over and shouted urgently: "Lord Wang, the big thing is not good, the Huangmei water thieves are coming over, and they are less than ten miles away from here. ”

Wang Gongbi: "What? ”

He glanced at the dock and saw the patches of trough ships on the wharf, and couldn't help but be anxious: "Oops, a large number of trough ships are gathering here, if they are robbed by thieves, what is the difference between them and the enemy?" ”

Thinking of this, Wang Gongbi gritted his teeth: "Instead of letting the thieves rob it, it is better to give it to the people." Come on, immediately move the grain from the tank ship and distribute it to the people, quickly! ”

His master was taken aback: "Dong Weng, if you do this, the court will definitely be charged with a crime when the court investigates it afterwards." ”

Wang Gongbi: "Settle down, the official can't care so much." ”

The order was quickly issued, and the soldiers of the Wang family, as well as the soldiers of the Anqing Guard, whose combat power was almost equal to that of the peasants, plus a large number of dock people, acted together to remove the grain from the trough ship, and there was no time to move far.

Just next to the Anqing Wharf, he pushed it into the crowd and gave it to the people.

Next to Anqing Port is Anqing City, the common people came to hear the wind in an instant, everyone took a bag, filled a bag of grain and ran.

In an instant, the side of Anqing Wharf was even more lively than the vegetable market......

"Report! The water thieves still have five miles to ......"

"Report! A huge strange ship came downstream. It's twenty zhang long! ”

Wang Gongbi was taken aback: "Twenty zhang long? What crazy are you talking about? ”

Scout: "Twenty zhang is still conservative, it should be more than that." ”

Wang Gongbi: "The water thieves are so powerful? ”

Scout: "It doesn't seem to be a thief's boat, there is a man in official uniform standing at the bow of the boat, who seems to be shouting desperately, but his voice is hoarse, and his subordinates are far away, so I can't hear what he is yelling about." ”

Wang Gongbi: "Official uniform? How many products? ”

"It seems to be...... The official uniform of the three products. ”

Wang Gongbi's brain spun rapidly: "Could it be that Shi Kefa is here?" The imperial court newly appointed Shi Kefa to take over the military affairs in Anqing and Chizhou, and his official position was the right senator, which happened to be an official position from the third grade. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Gongbi couldn't help but sigh: "It's useless for him to come, you can't catch the military affairs here." The guards were all paid empty salaries, and the number of troops was insufficient. The imperial court was in arrears of food and wages, and the soldiers had no will to fight...... Shi Kefa can only be as anxious as his own official. ”

Wang Gongbi waved his hand and said loudly: "Don't care about Shi Kefa, hurry up and distribute the grain, quickly distribute the grain, let the thieves grab less grain, and let the people get more grain." ”

One after another, the trough ships were emptied by Wang Gongbi's people, thrown on the dock, and let the common people snatch them, and in a short time they sent out 8,000 stones......
