Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 15 The Ship Arrives at Jinling Swallow Dock

Soon, Shi Kefa brought all the supplies Zhu Cihong needed to the pier, and assigned soldiers and civilians to come to help and load the things on the ship.

As soon as the boat was loaded, Zhu Cihong set sail impatiently and set sail. He was still hundreds of miles away from the water surface of Jinling, at least three days and three nights away, and for the sake of the throne, he could not delay for a moment.

Going south to the Yangtze River, exiting the mouth of the canal, and going upstream for more than a hundred miles, you will arrive at the Yanziwu Wharf in the north of Jinling City. It sounds like the distance is not much, but the day of disembarkation is already the day after tomorrow.

As soon as Zhu Cihong's boat docked, the soldiers and civilians in Jinling City spontaneously came to watch. After all, Zhu Cihong was the prince of this empire. In the hearts of the soldiers and civilians, only he was qualified to inherit the empire and the great power of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, not only the soldiers and civilians of Jinling, but also people all over the world think so. Although King Fu is in power now, he is only temporarily supervising the country, and he will let it go when the prince comes.

Hearing the voices of crowds of people outside the boat, Zhu Cihong asked doubtfully, "Liu Bao, do you know why these people come to the pier?"

He thought it was organized by the officials and gentry in Jinling City. After all, he was organized by the leaders as a welcome team when he was a student in his previous life.

Liu Bao replied, "Your Highness, I don't know. It must be that the local soldiers and civilians admire Tianwei, and they want to see the real dragon emperor and give themselves a little bit of dragon spirit."

As Liu Bao spoke, there was a taste of flattering.

"Stop talking, let's get off the boat." Zhu Cihong laughed and urged Liu Bao to pack up and get off the boat.

At that time, the soldiers on the ship had already come ashore one after another, maintaining law and order on the shore, and circled an open space to wait for Zhu Cixiang and others.

Walking on the gangway, Zhu Cihong didn't try to surround himself tightly like ordinary high-ranking officials, so that the common people wouldn't be able to see him. Instead, he faced the onlookers openly and treated him like a modern person. The onlookers waved their hands.

Seeing this, Liu Bao hurriedly came over to stop him and said, "Your Highness is a body of gold, so don't behave so frivolously."

Zhu Cihong ignored him, and said as he walked, "They are all citizens of Daming, let them see what the sky above their heads looks like."

Having said that, there are no more than a hundred people who can really see what Zhu Cihong looks like. First, the distance is far away, and there are soldiers forming a human wall to stop them.

Just as Zhu Cihong got off the boat and was about to board his sedan chair, suddenly a group of knights came rushing from the direction of Jinling City. They were all wearing official uniforms and had an oxtail knife on their waists.

They went on a rampage, not caring about the crowd in front of them at all, and they didn't stop their horses until they rushed to a human wall formed by the heavy infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion.

A well-dressed knight with a finger in his hand pointed at the armored heavy infantry in front of him with a knife and said, "Who are you, you dare to make such a big show in Jinling City, and you wear armor and hold a knife in the street, don't you?" Is it to rebel?"

It happened that Zhang Zhong was also nearby. When he heard what the knight said, he came over and explained, "We are not bad guys. We are soldiers of His Royal Highness. We are here to maintain order. Who are you?"

I had thought that the knight didn't listen to Zhang Zhong's explanation at all. He still put on a bad face, sat on the horse and said domineeringly, "I am the chief arrester of the Yamen King of Jinling Prefecture."

"What about the prince, the prince, Jinling is now where King Fu is in charge of the country, and the prince has long since died in the Shuntian Mansion. If you dare to deceive the public with false words, I will take a horse and quickly arrest you in the prison, so that you will be exiled even if you don't die." Skin."

When the people on the side heard that these knights were official servants, they all backed away in fright and stayed away from them.

Wang Captou thought that Zhang Zhong was a small character and would not dare to talk to him. He would definitely go to the big shots behind him. Then he would have the opportunity to offend Zhu Cixiang and claim credit in front of the prefect.

He once thought that Zhang Zhong would be strong and stubborn, and he said like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, "Then catch me and see if you have the ability."

At this time, Wang Baotou was not alone. Zhang Zhong and the soldiers around him were all wearing armor. It would take a long time for a group of them to defeat him.

The people of Jinling who were on the sidelines saw that Wang Catcher was deflated, and they all booed and said, "You catch it."

"Isn't Wang Butou usually very majestic, and he can arrest whoever he wants?"

"Why are all the officials cowarded today? Could it be that they forgot to bring the seeds when they went out?"

Seeing the booing and ridicule of the surrounding crowd getting louder and louder, and the wave was even louder than the wave, Wang Butou finally couldn't help it.

He roared angrily, "Shut up for me."

Then he pointed to Zhang Zhong's nose and said, "You fight against the officials and laugh at the officials. I will give you a chance. Put down the weapons in your hands, take off your armor, and follow me to the lobby."

"Otherwise, I will ask the prefect to send troops to wipe you out right now." With the prefect standing behind him to support him, Wang Captou was not afraid of anything no matter how big it was.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhong was in a bit of trouble for a while, he was unwilling to listen to what Wang Butou said, but he was also afraid that the magistrate would send troops and cause trouble for the prince, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

At this moment, suddenly a team with sharp knives came in front of Zhang Zhong and Wang Tuntou, surrounded by eight sedan chairs.

An old man with a skinny face but piercing eyes came out of the sedan chair and said with a casual attitude, "Who wants to ask the magistrate to send troops? It's so majestic."

Seeing this old man appearing in front of him, Wang Catcher was so frightened that he fell off his horse for no other reason than because the old man in front of him was the famous eunuch Wang Fuen.

Seeing that Wang Catcher was so afraid of the old man, the crowd present became curious about him, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. Several people who had met Wang Fuen revealed his identity, and a half of the people present were so frightened that they slipped away quietly. I dare not say anything about the rest, let alone talk about Wang Fuen.

"Prince Wang." Wang Butou got up from the ground, cleaned up his clothes, and came to his side to say hello.

Wang Fu'en didn't look at him seriously, but pointed his nose at him and said, "When did Yingtian Mansion have so much power? Do you really think you are the King of Jinling?"

At this time, the slow sedan chair also carried Zhu Cihong here. He saw a large group of people blocking up in front of him, and he didn't know what happened, so he sent Liu Bao who was by his side to inquire about it.

"Let's all go, let's go." Liu Bao pushed his way through the crowd and came to the middle of Wang Fuen and the others.
