I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 863
Chen Hong and the others on the ship also got wet eyes.

"This is the people of my Ming Dynasty, this is the strength of my Ming Dynasty!"

What is family and country feelings, what is life and death, this may be it.

Looking at the nearly [-] soldiers and fishermen in ragged clothes below.

Zhu Zhanji said to Chen Hong,

"We should still have a lot of spare military uniforms and weapons on board!"

Chen Hong smiled slightly, and instantly understood what Zhu Zhanji meant, and said with a smile,

"I also have this plan, but I didn't expect you, His Royal Highness, to say it before me!"

Zhu Zhanji said without changing his expression,
"This is also impossible, the manpower we can mobilize now is really limited.

It is necessary to repair the dams in Xuanwu Lake to deceive people's eyes, and to clear up water thieves on the river. How can it be done if there are not many people. "

Chen Hong patted his chest and said,
"Your Highness, don't worry, with our strength, let alone mere water robbers, even if we encounter the regular army of the enemy country, we can win the battle.

Unless it's a last resort, it's not Jiang Hao's turn to play! "

Zhu Zhanji also nodded in agreement with satisfaction,

"Okay, just do as you said, when people get on the boat, let's go!"

At this time, Chen Hong said again,

"Your Highness, should we go to the river to investigate first, or go back to Xuanwu Lake first!"

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and then said,

"It's not good to go back directly. After all, we came out aggressively in the name of revenge this time. Wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable to go back without doing anything.

It is also very likely that people will see the flaws.

According to this palace, we should find a water village outside and fight a battle, preferably a big victory that is hearty and dripping.

In this way, not only will there be no suspicion, but there will also be more excuses for the Nanjing Ministry of War to add manpower to us.

It counts as killing multiple birds with one stone. "

Chen Hong seemed to have itchy hands too, and couldn't help but patted the table excitedly,
"Wonderful, just do as His Highness said, let's find a big water village and fight a good battle!"

……

The sound of the water on the river rumbles. Even though it is already winter, the Nanjing area is located in the south, and the temperature is always above zero. Although it is a bit cold, it still cannot stop the hard work of the people who live on the river.

Less than fifty miles away from Yizhen County, there is a place called Wujiabao.

It used to be a small fishing village.

But since three years ago, a group of water robbers suddenly came here, this place has completely changed its appearance.

Almost all the men in the village were recruited by the living water thieves, and the women were either occupied by them or forced to work as their cooks or other handymen.

The small village that was originally peaceful has become smoggy and wailing every day. People often choose to escape because they can't stand the torture, but few people succeed. Most of them die under the arrows of their pursuers.

There was a young man in the village who liked a girl from the same village very much.

But because of his poor family and poor fishing skills, he never had the courage to propose marriage to a girl.

Ever since the water thieves came, the girl has been taken over by the leader of the water thieves.

The young man saw it in his eyes and hated it in his heart, thinking about killing this bully all the time.

But he is single and weak, so how could he be able to fight against the leader who is superb in martial arts and tall.

So he changed his mind, aiming to take the opportunity to save the girl he loves one day.

After three years of preparation and long-term lurking, he finally became a small boss by virtue of his dexterity and eloquence.

Taking advantage of this convenience, he secretly got in touch with the girl.

And expressed his thoughts to the girl.

The girl could hardly bear the hellish life now, so the two hit it off and started preparing together.

The day before, all the gang of water pirates were dispatched and returned with a full reward.

To celebrate, they all got drunk.

The youth felt that the opportunity had finally come.

So, before everyone woke up and the sky was getting dark, he took the girl on a boat that the young man had prepared a long time ago, and rowed to the other side of the river.

However, what people didn't expect was that a water thief was awakened by urine early in the morning.

I happened to see this scene by accident.

Seeing the boss's woman running away with a boy, he immediately yelled.

"It's not good, sister-in-law was kidnapped, brother, your hat is green!"

The thieves in the water village are very vigilant because they are often surrounded by other water thieves and officers and soldiers.

This guy's voice almost woke up half of the people.

The water pirate boss was furious when he learned that his woman had escaped with a man.

Immediately order someone to go into the water to chase him.

What the young man prepared was just a rocking boat, and there were only the two of them on board, so even if the two of them exhausted their strength, the speed of the boat could not be too fast.

The pursuers behind, a boat of ten or so people, each with big arms and round waists, rowed the oars together at an extremely fast speed, almost comparable to a dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Seeing that the enemy was about to catch up, both the young man and the girl showed determination on their faces.

They knew that once the two of them were captured, what a miserable end it would be. Just imagining it was already horrifying.

The two of them just hugged each other, smiled at each other, and were about to jump into the river together to die in love.

But at this moment, the girl's voice tremblingly pointed at a huge monster approaching slowly not far from the river,
"Then... what is that!"

The young man turned his head to look, and he was so frightened that he almost fell down on the spot.

"I... I don't know either, could it be a legendary mirage?"

The two were terribly frightened, and the dozen or so water pirates who were chasing after them were also stunned by the scene in front of them.

"My God, what the hell is that, it can't be the beast in the river!"

"Could it be that we have committed too many crimes, and the Dragon Lord got angry and sent the River God to arrest us."

The little leader on the boat was quite calm, he slapped the water pirate who was talking nonsense with a sudden slap.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you can say such things casually.

Let me paddle hard, no matter what it is, as long as we catch people and land on the shore, it will have nothing to do with us! "

Not to mention, this guy's slap was quite effective, everyone quickly shut their mouths, and swiped vigorously in silence.

Although he was taken aback by this behemoth, the young man felt that he was alive.

While rowing vigorously, he said to the girl,
"Let's paddle quickly and head towards that thing, no matter what that thing is, our goal setting is much smaller than the dozen or so of them.

Maybe it can save our lives! "
