The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

The guidance of the artillery keeps everyone from losing their way.

There are definitely not so many ships with artillery in Mingzhou Prefecture, so Yu Zhuo asked, "Is there any place that is closest to here besides Mingzhou?"

"Songjiang Mansion, the boat can take more than half a day. However, Songjiang Mansion is considered to be in the Jiangsu Province. The governor of Zhejiang probably doesn't understand the situation now. Where will Songjiang Mansion send troops?" It was the old captain who spoke.

When they got to the coast, many officers and soldiers rushed off the boat to kill the Japanese pirates who resisted, so they hid far away to prevent accidental injury.

The red sun passed through layers of fog, and the surrounding area became slightly brighter.Yu Zhuo looked at the half-dried, blood-stained and mud-stained soldiers around him, forced a smile, and said, "Probably, we can go."

Yu Zhuo's identity was still a mystery to these soldiers, and they shouted "Master" and "Military Advisor" in twos and threes, but most of them were weak.

The situation ahead is really unclear.

Unexpectedly, this fleet came from Suzhou Mansion. After Hu Xian received the order, he brought the fleet here without saying a word.

There were constant wars on the island, and several scattered groups of Japanese pirates tried to sneak into the woods to escape. Yu Zhuo said calmly, "There are ten in total, let's deal with them first."

"But..." General Huang looked at the wounds around him, he was very tired, and it was dawn, so he really had no fighting spirit.

Yu Zhuo also knew that it might be best to keep these people here to rest, but this gang of Japanese pirates burned, killed, looted, and did everything. If they were allowed to stay here, the fishermen in the past would still be harmed.

"Let me go, you wait here." Yu Zhuo got up and said.

"Oh... my lord." General Huang just wanted to stop him, but Yu Zhuo's speed was so fast that he couldn't catch it even with his skills.However, General Huang only hesitated for three breaths, and followed quickly.

The Japanese pirates who fled into the forest were extremely scattered, and Yu Zhuo searched for a long time before cleaning them up one by one. General Huang saw that Yu Zhuo's clothes were all torn, so dirty that the original color could not be seen.

"My lord, you are really different from the rumors."

"How is it different?"

"It is rumored that you are dressed in white, like an exiled fairy, and you can turn clouds and rain with a wave of your sleeves." General Huang smiled embarrassedly after speaking.

Unexpectedly, such an old man like General Huang can be so thoughtful, Yu Zhuo looked at his distressed appearance, took off his outer shirt to wipe off the blood on the blade, and said lightly: "Let's go."

It was not until the afternoon that all the Japanese pirates left on the island in the nearby sea were cleaned up.

Seeing Yu Zhuo, Zhou Su said almost tearfully, Master Yu, you have worked hard.Behind him is Qi Ruo who has changed his face a little and has a smirk all over his face.

"Let me have a rest." Yu Zhuo said, "And these soldiers, please settle down." Zhou Su immediately said that hot water had been prepared on board.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Yu Zhuo fell straight down.

The officials of the Suzhou Mansion reserved a room for Yu Zhuo alone. When Qi Ruo heard that Yu Zhuo had woken up, he quickly squeezed in, smiled, and said, "Old Yu is fine, the brothers of Nan Yu Xing Si have thought about how to tell him tactfully." Your Majesty, you are martyred."

Yu Zhuo didn't care about his teasing, but just asked: "How is Your Majesty?"

"Then you don't have to worry about him. The canal your majesty walks on is safe." Qi Ruo saw that three catties of mud could be squeezed out of his clothes, and his tone was naturally slippery.

Yu Zhuo didn't have the strength to make trouble with him, so he said, "I'll take a bath first, you should hurry up and watch outside."

After the fleet left the island where Lingyuntai was located, it ran into another team of Japanese pirates.So Yu Zhuo just lay down after bathing, when he heard the sound of artillery.

Seeing Yu Zhuo walk into the main cabin, Qi Ruo asked, "Are you going to rest for a while?"

"How's the battle going?"

Zhou Su said with a distressed face: "Master Yu, why are there so many Japanese pirates in this sea area? In this way, do you know the number of Japanese pirates?"

Yu Zhuo calculated carefully in his mind, and replied: "There will not be more than 5000 people, but the ammunition supplies are not bad."

After the discussion, Yu Zhuo followed Zhou Su and Hu Xian to board the deck. This group was about the same number as those who had landed on the island before, and they had no artillery, so they were quickly defeated.

Regardless of victory or defeat, countless people will eventually turn into bones and never return to their hometown.

But for the survival and safety of more people, this group of Jingchao soldiers had to sacrifice again.Maybe it doesn't matter to the big ones, but it is a fatal blow to the small ones.

After celebrating for a while, I began to think about more practical issues.

After Xia Houjie established the Jing Dynasty, he was not allowed to go out to sea for trade. The previous dynasty allowed freedom, and there were indeed many hidden dangers, but such closed-door policy was not worth the candle.

There are not many ships stationed in Suzhou Prefecture, but comparatively speaking, they are currently the most and the fastest to support.

"My lord, in your opinion, should we evacuate this sea area, or..." Zhou Su's expression was a little hesitant. After all, Yu Zhuo's identity is now a scholar of the Imperial Academy. Big, but not at two o'clock.

If the emperor disagrees with him, he will not get any benefit by sending troops rashly this time.

Seeing his expression, Yu Zhuo knew what he was thinking, and ordered: "After the wave of Japanese pirates outside is over, let's go back first. There are too many things happening in the past few days, and I also need to go back to Beijing to report on my work."

"Your Excellency, aren't you going back to Suzhou Mansion?"

"No, I will go to Hangzhou Mansion, discuss with the governor, and then go to the capital by boat." Yu Zhuo cast his eyes on Hu Xian, "Master Hu, next year His Majesty may not be allowed to go to the south of the Yangtze River, you have to take good care of it." with the work of the shipbuilder."

"This..." Hu Xian's eyes widened, but the banter on Yu Zhuo's face made him hesitant.

Zhou Su noticed that Yu Zhuo was alone here, and asked, "Where's Mr. Yan?"

"I'm back in Beijing."

All the way to the north, I will not repeat them all.A few days later, when they arrived at the capital, it was full of dust and dust. Unexpectedly, Xia Houzhan had been waiting in Yu Zhuo's mansion for a long time, and Zhuo Lan came to report the time, and Yu Zhuo hurried to take a bath.

"Why don't you come and see me directly?"

"Unkempt and dirty, how can you face saintly face?" Yu Zhuo's hair was still wet, Xia Houzhan saw it, and quickly asked someone to take a cloth towel and ordered him to sit down.

Unexpectedly, the Ninth Five-Year Venerable would personally brush someone's hair.

"Although it's late spring, you must not catch a cold during your journey." Xia Houzhan said slowly, "I shouldn't come to see you at this time and disturb your rest."

"Your Majesty has also walked these roads. I am in good health, but Your Majesty needs to take care." Yu Zhuo reached out and grabbed his wrist, and smiled slightly, "If Your Majesty is sick, I will lock you up in the bedroom. "

Xia Houzhan's hands paused, only to hear his voice rising from the top of his head: "Hengqing is talking nonsense again, how can you shut me down."

"Your Majesty is naturally capable of keeping His Majesty unable to get out of bed all day long."

"you……"

While Xia Houzhan was in a daze, Yu Zhuo gave a brief account of what happened in Changguo County, omitting his previous encounters on the island.However, Xia Houzhan still suppressed his voice: "Hengqing must have had a very difficult time in those two days."

"If you don't want to talk about it, you'll be tired after listening." After Yu Zhuo finished speaking, she got up, picked up the towel in his hand and threw it into the copper basin, and then grabbed his hand, "But I have to talk about it."

Xia Houzhan noticed his dark eyes, reached out to touch the corners of his eyes, and said with a little distress: "I'm leaving first, you can enter the palace tomorrow."

"Be careful on the road." Yu Zhuo let go of his hand, and kissed Xia Houzhan's lips while he was not paying attention.
