Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 251
on the shore of the pier,

Commander Lu Yi stopped in a hurry after shouting, and looked around secretly.

I saw that the guards of Water Transport were all sitting around eating meals, chatting with each other and didn't find out what was going on here.

Heaved a sigh of relief, looked at General Lu and asked;
"General Lu, what you said is true. Why didn't the Commander hear the wind?"

"Commander Lu, the news came from the capital recently. Besides, it has not been two months since Master Hou entered the capital. If you are in the north, there is nothing you can do."

Lu Guangju explained there that Lu Yi was right after thinking about it. Before leaving, the Governor-General said something about my little brother. He never thought it was because of this relationship. It was because of his own negligence. It was so bright, he looked at General Lu Shou and said kindly;
"General Lu, the commander of Japan will thank General Lu today. We need to get closer in the future."

Lv Guangju's smiling face instantly brightened, and he hurriedly said;

"That's it, that's it, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

"OK."

While the two were chatting and laughing happily, and chatting with each other about the internal information of the guards, many sergeants were full, and many returned to the ship to rest.

The main building ship that came this time can carry 500 people, but for troop transport, only 300 people on each ship are responsible for driving the ship, and the rest of the fighting ships are fully loaded with 300 people for escort.

In total, there were as many as 4000 guards sent by the Governor of Water Transport, of which Commander Lu had more than 4000 men, and Commander Li had a similar number of men, only Yan Cong had less than [-] men and horses, and they were uneven. Gradually getting tired, I don't know how to lead the army in Jiangnan.

If Yan Cong is still alive, he will definitely say that the regular army of the guards will serve as the private army for the great families and nobles in the south of the Yangtze River, and this time it is just a fake.

Although Lu Yi felt something was wrong, he was not under his command, so it was better to have one more thing than one less thing, so he didn't ask carefully.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of horseshoes in the dock market town.

Many guard soldiers stretched their heads to look over, without the slightest vigilance.

It was none other than the cavalry of the [-] Pioneer Battalion led by Zhang Jinyu, who came here to check the status of the water army and the building boats.

"call"

The cavalry stopped, their movements were uniform, and they were extremely elite. The guards all shrank their heads involuntarily.

Seeing many traces of buried pots and cooking on the shore, I must have been eating just now.

Zhang Jinyu gave Ning Bian a wink, and Ning Bian took the lead in riding a horse and leading the others, walked to the center of the pier and shouted;

"You guards, who is the commander?"

Commander Lu, who was eating in the back, reacted quickly, threw the bowls and chopsticks, and shouted in response,

"Here, Lu Yi, the commander of the last general's guard, met Luo Yunhou."

While shouting, he ran towards Ningbyen, and Lu Guangju was not slow to react, he followed closely behind, and then saw that the commander was running in the wrong direction, and recognized the wrong person.

Hastily pulling behind him, Lu Yi looked back puzzledly, Lu Guangju had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in front of Commander Lu and said;
"I have seen General Ning, Lord Hou, but here we are."

"Wait."

Lu Yi blushed when he saw this old man, and looked at General Lu gratefully, almost making a joke.

Zhang Jinyu saw clearly from behind that the two were also interesting, so she led the guards and walked over.

"General Lu, long time no see."

Without further ado, Lu Guangju knelt down and thanked;

"See Lord Hou for a lowly position, thank you Lord Governor for your kind words, the lower officials will not be able to repay you."

Then he directly kowtowed to thank Zhang Jinyu, Zhang Jinyu was also puzzled, but thinking that this matter would surely reach Shen Xueshi's ears, he knew that his brother was doing it to save face, so he accepted it.

"Okay, get up."

"Thank you, Lord Hou."

Commander Lu standing behind saw the scene in front of him, and was immediately stunned. A guard of the fifth rank directly knelt down, which showed that Lord Hou was powerful in the capital. Kneeling softly, he cried out;
"The last general, Lu Yi, commander of the northern section of the Water Transport Guard Army, has seen Lord Hou."

It was a bow after he finished speaking, but it made Lu Guangju respect Lord Hou even more in his heart. This power is indeed monstrous.

Zhang Jinyu was still a little puzzled, and Wei Jun really got up to behave under the leadership of Old Brother Shen, and said by the way;
"Get up and tell Ben Hou about the situation of the navy."

Lu Yi stood aside respectfully and began to introduce the situation of the fleet;

"Lord Hou, this time there are 300 search ships with 300 guards in charge of sailing, and 5000 search ships with 4000 people escorting them. There are the most people, followed by Commander Li Cong with [-] people, and the remaining [-] people under Commander Yan Cong of the Jiangnan Guards, but Commander Yan has already been brought to justice by the governor."

Zhang Jinyu was also surprised that the imperial court actually transferred the main fleet. I don’t know what it meant. Looking at the majestic buildings at the pier, my good guy, if they were sent directly now, the imperial court would have no navy. ,Um?Jiangnan Yancong was brought to justice.

"Oh, quite a few people, what's going on with Yan Cong?"

"Back to Lord Marquis, Yan Cong's disobedience has already been beheaded by the governor for public display."

Commander Lu Yi wiped the cold sweat behind him.

Hearing this, Zhang Jinyu felt a little inappropriate. Yan Cong must be from the Jinling Guards. To be enraged and murdered by that old civil servant, Shen Xueshi, there must be some inexplicable reason behind it.

"Commander Lu, start blowing the trumpet to assemble, and all the guards will disembark and assemble to stand by."

"Eh, yes, yes, my lord. The guards, blow the trumpet."

Although Lu Yi didn't understand, he didn't dare to neglect, and let the horn blow directly.

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

The sound of the horn sounded, and the soldiers of the guards of the building ships and fighting ships also rushed to the shore in a panic, and then waited in a whole team.
Seeing those sparse formations, Zhang Jinyu couldn't bear to look directly at them, and when he looked at the boat, there were still people who were indifferent.

"Ningbian, lead two thousand brothers to watch, anyone who remains indifferent within ten breaths, beheaded, and those who have not reached the time for a stick of incense, beheaded."

"It's Master Hou, the general is watching."

The ruthless voice made Commander Lu turn pale with fright, and he sweated for them when he saw the appearance of the shore guards.

But after a general look, both his subordinates and Li Cong's subordinates have come down, but the Jinling Guards are still sleeping on the bow of the ship, which is simply lawless.

A stick of incense time is very fast,

Just when the guards on the shore were waiting impatiently, Ning Bian suddenly led his troops to rush onto the ships, escorting anyone who was alive to get off the ship. , The blood also stained the river red.

Seeing the bloody scene, all the guards present felt their scalps go numb, and even Lu Guangju's subordinates in the capital were shuddering.

In detail, 500 people violated the military order.

After the execution is over,

Zhang Jinyu said with a cold face: "This Marquis is one who obeys the military order. Anyone who disobeys the military order will be killed without mercy. Ningbian will lead people to check all the ships."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Ning Bian continued to bring people on board, and began to carefully check the status of each ship, so as not to capsize in the gutter.

And Zhang Jinyu came to the shore with the rest of the people, looked at the guards and shouted;

"Brothers, this Marquis Luo Yunhou, under Lao Tzu's command is to obey the military order. As long as you are under this Marquis' command, your military salary will never lose a penny a day, and then all the guards belonging to Jinling will come out. Hurry up."

After Zhang Jinyu shouted, none of the shore guards dared to move,
Just when Zhang Jinyu's face became more and more ugly, Commander Lu ran over and shouted;
"What are you waiting for, didn't you hear Lord Hou's words?"

The guards saw that their commanding envoys also said the same thing, and the Jinling guards couldn't hide it. They all moved away timidly. There were about 3000 people.

"Master Hou, what do you want?"

Lu Yi with a pale face was afraid that Lord Hou would kill all these people, and that would be a big trouble. The previous killing was done, and it was disrespectful to the military order in the eyes of everyone, but this.

"Okay, Ben Hou knows."

Zhang Jinyu was also relieved when he saw the generals of the Wei Army, and they looked better now.
"General Lu, these people are under your command now, and then Ben Hou will borrow you two thousand sergeants to replace them. Each fighting ship can have more than [-] people, and the manpower of the building will remain the same. Hou left the [-] Pioneer Battalion to help you watch, I understand."

Lu Guangju replied immediately;
"It's all right, Lord Marquis, the 2000 people brought by the humble official are here, waiting for Commander Lu to dispatch at any time."

Commander Lu also turned the corner and understood Master Hou's intentions. He didn't believe those people in Jiangnan and Jinling. Looking at it like this, there might be troubles in Jiangnan, and he was more careful in his heart.

"Yes, Lord Hou, Mo will understand, Mo will arrange reorganization overnight, and will never delay tomorrow's schedule."

"Okay, it's good that Commander Lu understands. You have to be extremely careful when you go to Jiangnan this time. It's about our lives and lives. I hope Commander Lu understands the nonsense of those people in Jiangnan. Your home is in the north."

Zhang Jinyu's persuasion and threats were almost straightforward, and Lu Yi patted his chest to show his loyalty very clearly.

"Master Hou, you will understand in the end, and you will be careful."

"That's good, let's start preparing, organize the boats, don't make a mess, and throw away the useless things uniformly."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

After Lu Yi finished speaking, he took a few lieutenants and a large number of captains to start reorganization, and then re-divided the ships and started to pack them up.

Yongbyon came back, and the rest of the soldiers watched from inside and outside.

"Master Hou, the boat is fine. The valves underneath are all locked. The general will check it carefully."

"That's good. Jiangnan is not easy this time. You see, those soldiers of the Jinling Guards are all fake, and the regular army doesn't know where they are?"

Zhang Jinyu also said with a gloomy face. After thinking about it, he felt that there was a big problem here. Maybe it wasn't the same for Jiangnan Daying, which meant that there might be something wrong with Jiangnan.

Ning Bian also took a closer look, and found that those soldiers were not even as good as servants, could it be?

"Master Hou, this is not a sergeant at all."
