The rise of the poor

Chapter 1706 Xi Jun gave birth to wings and attacked the northern dark fish
"Qin'er, why did you bring back the chicken soup again? Is it too greasy, brother Zhu doesn't like it? Or is brother Zhu strict with the military discipline of the military camp, no one can enter, nor can things enter?"

Li Shu is arranging flowers. In a blue-and-white porcelain vase, there are various flowers and green leaves scattered in different heights and density. Some are dried flowers, some are fresh flowers. When he came back, he couldn't help asking in surprise.

"No, Miss." Hua'er and Qin'er shook their heads and explained, "We arrived at the barracks, and Liu Mu told us that an imperial envoy named Zhao Wenhua urgently ordered my uncle to lead 800 people to the sandbar to assist in the sea sacrifice. Because the military situation was urgent, my uncle had no time to say goodbye to the young lady, so he set off with people. But the young lady left a message specially for the young lady to let the young lady rest at home to raise the baby, and he will come to see the young lady as soon as he comes back from Shazhou Jihai."

"Oh..." Li Shu heard that Zhu Ping'an had gone to Shazhou, so she couldn't help but put down the flowers in her hand, and she no longer had the interest to arrange flowers.

"Miss, don't be sad, I heard that the sea sacrifice will be held tomorrow, and my uncle will be back after the sea sacrifice."

When Qin'er and Hua'er saw Li Shu's lost look, they hurried forward to comfort her.

"There is a lot of rumors about the sacrifice to the sea. Everyone in the streets and alleys knows that tomorrow there will be a sacrifice to the sea on the sandbar. How can the Japanese pirates not know that they will definitely take the opportunity to stir up trouble and sabotage." Li Shu said worriedly.

"Ah... no wonder the Fengqiao camp sent so many soldiers out to patrol. It turned out that they were worried about the Japanese pirates making trouble."

Qin'er and Hua'er were stunned, they didn't think too much about it, they thought that the son-in-law led the soldiers to sacrifice to the sea, and it would be over just to kneel down and worship.

"Miss, don't worry, my uncle is amazing. It's bad luck for Japanese pirates to meet my uncle."

"Yes, yes, in Jingnan before, my uncle only had Da Dao and the others and dozens of county government servants, and they drove away thousands of Japanese pirates; The three-headed and six-armed Japanese pirates who have been invincible all over the south of the Yangtze River have been wiped out; didn’t my uncle say that the new army he trained can conquer the world with 1000 people.”

"Oh, although my son-in-law only brought 800 people this time, so he can't run across the world, but it will be no problem to move across the sandbar. Miss, don't worry."

Hua'er and Qin'er talked to each other one by one, so that my lady don't have to worry.

Li Shulian walked to the window, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes devoutly and prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.

"Xi Jun has wings and will attack the Northern Underworld Fish. Brother Zhu, we will wait for your safe return."

After praying, Li Shu gently caressed her lower abdomen with her slender hands, looked towards the direction of the sandbar outside the window, and murmured in a low voice.

While Li Shu was praying, Zhu Pingan had already rushed to the Shazhou Sea Festival with [-] Zhejiang troops.

At this time, the sandbar has changed drastically. The sandbar, which was originally just a natural pier, has now become a large holy place for offering sacrifices.

From a distance, you can see the flagpole erected high on the sandbar, and the long dragon flag flying high.

An altar covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters rose from the ground, on which were enshrined individual gods, and in the four directions of the altar, east, west, north, south, there were also huge statues of dragon kings of the four seas.

In the center of the altar stands a huge stone pillar more than ten meters high, engraved with Taoist scriptures, and in the center are four huge relief stone characters "Dinghaishenzhen".

Uh, could this be the source of inspiration for Dinghaishenzhen in Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West"...

Seeing this huge stone pillar, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help twitching his mouth, as if Old Wu lived in this era, and Journey to the West was conceived and written around this time.

In my impression, Old Wu suffered repeated setbacks in the imperial examinations, and later became a year-old Gongsheng student in Jiajing for more than 20 years. In order to study in the Guozijian on Chengxian Street, Nanjing, Old Wu moved to Yingtian, lived near Chengxian Street, and sold literature for a living.

Although the sea festival has only officially started tomorrow, there are already many spectators watching from a distance.

According to Lao Wu's living radius, maybe, maybe, Lao Wu is among these onlookers.Or, when Comrade Wu is officially offering sacrifices to the sea tomorrow, maybe Comrade Old Wu will come to watch the fun while studying.

Such a large-scale sea sacrifice is rare in decades, and it is normal to come to watch the fun.

Just when Zhu Ping'an's thoughts were drawn by this huge stone pillar of Dinghai Shenzhen, which was about ten meters high, he heard a familiar voice in his ear, "Hahaha, nephew, you are here. I deliberately stood next to my Jianghuai camp A place has been reserved for you to set up your camp."

Zhu Pingan raised his head and saw Marquis Linhuai surrounded by many generals, Marquis Linhuai was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

Linhuaihou, like himself, was also wearing a military uniform, fully armored. It was rare for him to wear an oversized armor, which must have been custom-made.However, the obese Marquis of Linhuai, after putting on his armor, with his tonnage lying there, looked like a bear, visually he looked like a general.

At this moment, the Marquis of Linhuai is already the deputy general of Jianghuai. He is stationed in Jinshanwei, rectifies Jiangyang, controls Huaihai, and shaves coastal defense. Jinshanwei where he is stationed is one of the four famous guards of Ming Dynasty. It is an important military town and a masonry building. The completed Jiancheng has the reputation of "the first city under the Stone City (Yingtian)". It is located in Shanghai, not far from Shazhou.As for the principle of proximity, it is reasonable for him to be transferred by Zhao Wenhua's order to lead troops to assist Jihai.

"Greetings to Uncle." Zhu Pingan got off his horse, walked to Marquis Linhuai, and bowed his hands to see him.

"What are you being polite to us uncles and nephews? Go for a walk, take your soldiers, and follow me. The land I left for you is still flat with wind and water. It is definitely a good place to set up camp."

Lin Huaihou said with enthusiasm, and he couldn't refuse Zhu Ping'an's arm and walked forward.

Well, it has been verified, Linhuaihou is not puffy, he really has a lot of strength, Zhu Pingan really can't refuse.

Of course, Zhu Pingan had no intention of refusing, after all, it was only a temporary camp, and the Jianghuai camp next to Linhuaihou was fine.

Soon, Zhu Pingan led the Zhejiang Army to the place where the Marquis of Linhuai set up camp under the Jianghuai Camp.

This is a meadow next to the woods, the terrain is flat, and there is a meandering stream not too far away, it is indeed a good place to camp.

Looking at the number of tents in the Jianghuai camp, Zhu Pingan calculated that the Marquis of Linhuai brought about 3000 troops this time.

However, although it was a temporary camp, the defense of the Jianghuai camp was too lax. There were no fences and antlers, and only a few guards were seen at the door, and there were no patrolling soldiers around.

"How is this place, my nephew?" Marquis Linhuai pointed to the reserved space and asked Zhu Ping'an with a complacent expression.

"It's easy to get materials near the forest, easy to get water near the water, and the terrain is flat. It's indeed a good place to camp." Zhu Pingan praised without hesitation.

The smile on Linhuaihou's face suddenly became wider.
