Jiapingguan Chronicle

Shen Zhonghe listened to Xue Ruitian's words and nodded slightly. He knew more or less that the Shen Jiajun was not just the Shen Jiajun. They not only guarded the northern border, they also shouldered the responsibility of supervising the situation of other border garrison troops.

Many people actually don't know this. He only found out after he was promoted to Liu Shuai's first deputy general. No one can shake the Shen family's status in the entire Great Xia. Their interests are tightly tied to the royal family. Yes, if you lose, you will suffer, if you lose, you will both prosper.

Now think about it, those who want to see Shen Jiajun's jokes and those who want to wait for Shen Jiajun's defeat are all wishful thinking. Shen Jiajun is the last line of defense for the royal family. It is the royal family that can be firmly in their hands without worrying about anything. The betrayal knife, whether it is the Shen family or the Xue family, they are all inextricably linked to the royal family. They all have the blood of the royal family flowing in their bodies. They will not be full and their own family will turn against their own family. of.

Coupled with these relationships, he dared to say that no matter how many years passed, there would never be any knife as loyal as the Shen family, nor would there be any knife as easy to use as the Shen family.

Thinking of this, he smiled lightly at Xue Ruitian and expressed that he understood and would not continue to ask any more questions.

"Master Shen, there is another question." Jin Jing stretched out a finger, looked at Shen Zhonghe with a smile, and said, "Those people on the island, that is, the islanders who fled from the previous dynasty, are there any of them? Do you believe in the Qinglian Sect?"

"How is that possible!" Shen Zhonghe shook his head gently, "The Qinglian Sect did originate from the late years of the previous dynasty, but the Qinglian Sect has always supported..." He looked at Shen Haolin, then at Xue Ruitian, smiled, and said , "They support Emperor Taizu, don't they? Emperor Taizu didn't like the people of these clans in the previous dynasty very much, and they didn't like Emperor Taizu very much either. The two disliked each other, and they also disliked Qinglian. I don’t have any good feelings towards him, so if he doesn’t hate him, it’s already good, let alone believe in him.”

"That's true." Jin Jing nodded, "After Mr. Shen joined Liu Shuai's Navy, he went home very rarely, almost never, right?"

"How should I put it? Because I sneaked away to join the army, my grandfather, father, and Aunt Liang were not very satisfied with me. We relied on my second mother to deal with each other. What they wanted to bring us, what they wanted to do with us He said everything under the pretense that Er Niang would bring it to me and tell me. Er Niang also pretended not to know anything, but in fact both of them knew it well." He chuckled, "I originally thought that our days would be I just lived a normal life like this, but unexpectedly, an accident disrupted my peaceful life."

"Is it Hui Niang? Xiaobao's biological mother, right?"

"It seems that Er Niang has told you all." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "Yes, it's Hui Niang. Several generations of their family have actually been engaged in maritime business. It can be said that those ships are their homes. Wherever they go, they live there.”

"It's a good life to live on a boat as your home." Shen Cha nodded, "However, according to Mr. Shen, their family has been wandering on the sea all year round, and there should be many guards to prevent the boat from being destroyed and people killed. Isn't she the only one left in the miserable state of being an orphan?"

"There are guards. With several of their ships, plus a few other good ships, there will be no more than 300 guards in the whole family." Shen Zhonghe stretched out three fingers and looked at everyone's expressions, "Don't I think these three hundred people are a lot, but in fact they are not many at all, because the ones who besieged them that time were not ordinary pirates, but Japanese pirates, and they were not ordinary Japanese pirates. They were a well-trained navy, and they could usually go Robbery at sea. When there is a war on their small island, all the people can go to fight." "Understood." Jin Jing nodded, "Usually there are five or six people on the island, and they run to the sea from time to time. Act as pirates and rob merchant ships.”

"We later captured several of them. According to the confessions of those prisoners, if they couldn't survive and had nothing to eat or drink, they would go to the sea to rob, and they would only rob merchant ships, especially merchant ships that looked unprotected. ."

"Don't they have no guards? Don't they have three hundred guards?" Shen Jiu frowned slightly, "They don't take these guards seriously at all? Are they too arrogant?"

"Little General, you are wrong. I only said that there are 300 people who can fight, including the merchants themselves, not that there are 300 guards." Shen Zhonghe sighed softly, "They really only have 200 guards. , scattered on ten ships, each ship only has twenty guards. This configuration, to be honest, is indeed a bit shabby. But they are not big merchants, and the goods they buy are not valuable, they are just some Food and drink are indeed what the Japanese need. Only after filling their stomachs can the Japanese rob large merchant ships and rob some gold, silver and jewelry. Otherwise, they would not have the intention."

"So that's it." Shen Jiu nodded and sighed softly, "It's no wonder they were beaten. They are simply vulnerable."

"Yes, those Japanese pirates were quite bold back then. They followed them until they were close to the Daxia sea area before starting to attack."

"Why? Aren't you seeking death?"

"It was already very late at that time, and it was already dark. Even if the navy was patrolling, it would not arrange as many people as during the day. Therefore, they were confident. Even if the merchant ship sent out a distress signal, they still believed The navy of Daxia would not come to the rescue in such a timely manner. But as luck would have it, our patrol team arrived not long after they launched their attack. Seeing this situation, they quickly sent a signal for help. Liu Shuai took us to provide support. But when we arrived, it was already too late. Out of hundreds of people on ten ships, only more than a hundred people were rescued. Later, more than a dozen people did not survive because of their serious injuries. And Huiniang's grandfather also passed away for this reason. However, because I personally rescued them, Huiniang's grandfather also entrusted Huiniang to me because he thought I was safer."

"So, you two have been in love for a long time, right?"

Shen Zhonghe touched his chin sheepishly, smiled softly, and nodded towards everyone.

"We have common topics, and we can even talk about these topics for days and nights without getting bored. Therefore, the two of us become more and more fond of each other, and finally one day..." Shen Zhonghe looked at the other people, "You are all children, and there are some things you should not say. After that day, I asked her to marry me, but she did not agree."
