Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

"That year, I rescued an actor. He was stripped naked and thrown in the snow because he didn't accompany the capital officer. The brother didn't say anything, and took care of him with me. After he recovered, he left without a word. Another year later, he came back in a sedan chair and asked us if we wanted anything. Only then did I know that he was favored by the emperor, so I said I was thinking about some errand. No idea, someone took us to the palace the next day He practiced martial arts and studied at home, and entered Jinyi to command the army." Lu Qing paused, as if lamenting the past, it was like Nanke Yimeng's stepping up to the sky, or buried in his heart the uneasiness and fear that would be awakened at any time. "I thought that I would share my salary with my senior brother, and I would live a happy life with all my worries, but I never expected that Mr. Jiang would betroth Qingmei to my senior brother... I should be happy for my senior brother to have a family. But I don’t know why, I’m so drunk that I’m unconscious every day…”

Jiang Bin listened quietly, and recalled that day, when the two of them huddled in the same sedan chair, they smelled alcohol and a strange fragrance.

"I was drunk, so I had the guts to follow him quietly. After following for a few days, I found out that he had lied to me a lot... What is unaccompanied, what is lonely... In the end, I am just a cover..." Speaking of this, Lu Qing snorted, with a half-smile.

Jiang Bin was startled when he heard it, thinking of the half peach wood hairpin protruding from Yan Song's sleeve on the day when the officials "petitioned", he felt that the cause and effect were all threaded into a thin thread, twisted into a strand of clues, but he didn't know the two ends. Who is pulling.

"Senior brother is haunted by that person, but I don't want to see him take the place of the dead..."

This passage is vague, but Jiang Bin already knows a lot from it.

Lu Qing was reminding him, either because of guilt, or because of sympathy.

"I saved you back then, but it was unintentional... You can remember that I have repaid this kindness."

Hearing what Jiang Bin said, Lu Qing felt emotional for a moment, but he couldn't tell the truth, and finally just said: "Everyone has his own destiny, Mr. Jiang will be able to turn danger into safety, and get what he wants."

"Accept your good words." Jiang Bin said, closing his eyes again.

At Yinshi, Zhu Chenhao sent someone to wait for them to wash.Jiang Bin and Lu Qing ate some indiscriminately, and boarded the gunboat where Zhu Chenhao was.

The gunboat was twenty feet long, with three masts and five stories in the cabin. It looked like a city tower, and two hundred elites were standing on it.

Before dawn, Zhu Chenhao, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and animal-faced armor, stood on the bow of the boat, with the Ning flag flying beside him, but it was covered with a layer of desolation by the moonlight, like a flying white silk.

The giant ship shook slightly, and someone reported that Wang Lun, Wu Shisan and others had completed their formation and were only waiting for the order to set off.

Zhu Chenhao nodded slightly, stood for a while, and suddenly said: "Master Jiang, do you know the sky?"

Just as he was talking, he saw a meteor trailing its tail and falling silently against the halo of the moon.When the soldiers in the cabin saw it, there was a commotion, but no one dared to speak loudly about this ominous omen.

Thinking about what Zhu Chenhao said just now, Jiang Bin probably saw more than just this one.Looking up, I saw that glowing glowing like fire again, with flames shining brightly, trying to overshadow the brilliance of the bright moon.

"Today, Yinghuo is following Taibai, and I want to go against Yinghuo's actions and use troops. It can be seen that it will not work." These words were meant for Jiang Bin.

Jiang Bin hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "If there is no danger of life, you will surely be able to turn danger into good luck."

This remark is a pun, and it hits exactly what Zhu Chenhao is thinking about.

"Turning bad luck into good fortune, why did I ever think of turning bad luck into good fortune? If it's true that Yin and Yang are separated, I'll just follow. Why do I have to suffer these few days?"

Hearing Zhu Chenhao's words, Jiang Bin searched his brains, but there was nothing to comfort him.

Only when the love is deep can one say such idiotic words.

"Keeping troops in Jiujiang and Nankang is just leaving a way out for Meng Yu. The army is defeated like a mountain, how can it not be overwhelmed? If it really falls into his hands, how can he be the only one who has the final say on my life?"

Jiang Bin was taken aback, feeling that his internal organs had been severely disturbed.

How can I not know in my heart?There are no tigers and leopards, there are still wolves, and the monkeys are scattered when the trees fall. This battle has exhausted everything.

"You and I have never met each other before, but we always feel that we have known each other for a while... Maybe we had known each other for a while in the previous life, and it was only in this life that we got to be side by side." Zhu Chenhao said so, and the corners of his lips twitched.

Jiang Bin looked at it in a daze, and felt that he was independent from his predecessors, and he was not the world to stay.

Turning his eyes away, he flicked pollen on his sleeve quietly, thinking that even if something went wrong, he would be easy to find.

At the dawn of Buddha, he saw hundreds of warships suddenly appearing on the lake, spread out for dozens of miles, looking like a mountain.

At the other end, the red dragon boats are also in formation, the eagle boats and sand boats line up the two wings together, the Haicang boats and Cangshan boats are lined up with the blessing boats of Wang Shouren, Wu Wending and other generals. Qiao Yu's five three-masted gunboats were at the end of the formation, sparse in front and dense in back.

Once within range, Zhu Chenhao first ordered the Haicang boat to cooperate with the blessing boat to bombard the imperial court's advance navy with bowl-mouthed guns and lumi guns. When they got close, he ordered the soldiers to throw fireballs and bricks to divert the fire , to cover the eagle boat that quickly outflanked Fuchuan.In that situation, it was like ants carrying food, surrounded, gnawing and gnawing, and the firearms on the Fuchuan, which is famous for its range, became decorations, so they had to break out in a panic. Several ships were blown off their masts and rudders. Had to lay his corpse in the lake.

Wang Shouren and Wu Wending saw that most of the blessing boats in advance were on the way, and hurriedly ordered the surrounding Haicang and Cangshan boats to quickly return to help.Those Flang machine guns were modified by Emperor Zhengde, and there were many weapons and arrow clusters hidden in the bullets. Once they exploded, countless casualties would be caused, not to mention that there were at least [-] bullets in a flower bomb. After a while, the eagle boat was torn apart, and countless people jumped into the water.

The situation turned in an instant, and Wang Shouren wanted to order the Fuchuan to advance at full speed and disrupt the enemy's formation, but suddenly saw more than a dozen pointed and wide multi-oared boats coming against the wind, heading straight for the two wings.Wang Shouren knew that this was another strategy to win quickly, so he hurriedly commanded the eagle boat and sand boat to brave the wind and waves to intercept.

However, Zhu Chenhao didn't equip the centipede boat with heavy firearms to make it light, so he collided with the eagle boat and sand boat head-on, but he could only use fireballs and rockets to expel them, only half of them were blocked.In this way, when the battle reaches one place, it is not as easy as the small ships, and the formation is disrupted in an instant, unable to form the outflanking situation.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Zhengde ordered the whole army to march forward with the wind,

Facing them head-on, the Franji and Hongyi cannons remodeled by Emperor Zhengde and Jiang Bin showed their power. The Fuchuan, Haicang and Cangshan boats fired swiftly and fiercely, shooting arrows like rain.

However, after attacking for a while, it felt wrong. There were only a dozen small Cangshan boats and a few medium-sized Haicang boats that diverted the firepower of the warships. .

Zhu Chenhao, standing on the three-masted gunboat, raised the command flag and pointed forward, and those big boats fired artillery stones to the lower boats, sinking many Haicang boats and Cangshan boats that were charging into battle, and captured Two medium-sized Fuchuan were ordered.

Wang Lun commanded the soldiers who boarded the Fuchuan to drive several warships towards the direction where Emperor Zhengde was. After a while, they broke up the formation and broke the left and right maintenance.At this time, Wu Shisan, Ling Shishi, and Min 24 quickly led their respective fleets to attack and cut off the fleet in the middle, making them ignore each other first, and annihilated them one by one.

However, at this moment, a northeasterly wind blew across the lake.

Zhu Chenhao saw that the wind direction had changed, and said to Jiang Bin, "I'm not Mengde, but God wants this to become a red cliff."

After that, he ordered Lianzhou to form a square formation to resist the wind and waves.

Standing beside him, Jiang Bin heard Li Tushi and Liu Yangzheng's reply saying that this plan was very clever, but he felt it was ridiculous.These two people are definitely going to put Zhu Chenhao to death so that there will be no proof.I just don't know what kind of tricks the forces behind them have planted in Emperor Zhengde's place.

I was thinking about it, but I heard people report that Wang Lun could not persuade me.

Zhu Chenhao waved his hands, and didn't let the soldier who sent the message continue, he just stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Wang Shouren who was also standing on the bow of the boat not far away.

Wang Shouren saw that Wu Shisan, Ling Shishi, and Min Shishi stopped attacking and just connected the boats end to end with iron cables, so he already guessed Zhu Chenhao's intentions.So he asked Emperor Zhengde for orders, picked some soldiers, drove a dozen fishing boats, filled with gunpowder and firewood, approached the enemy ship under the cover of cannon fodder, and divided several places to take advantage of the wind and fire.

All of a sudden, the wind was fierce, the flames were flying, the lake was completely red, and the sound of shouts and falling water could be heard endlessly.

Zhu Chenhao stood quietly, watching the fire, which destroyed his foundation for many years with lightning speed, but he didn't feel much pain in his heart.

He still remembered the indifference of the person who was thinking about it, throwing the jade tablet into the fire...he didn't want to experience it again.

If you can't get back his news, what is there to miss about this power, this status, this wealth and life?

In an instant, the flames had already licked the mast of the gunboat.Many fire men cried out hoarsely, jumped into the water, and in the smoke, many fell down and couldn't get up again, and died in the cabin, twisted into a dense ball, and it was impossible to tell who was who. .

The living beings are covered with charcoal, and the hands are covered with blood.

Hearing the beeping in his ear, Zhu Chenhao felt that his blood was cold and his heart was ice, no one could cut it open.

"My lord!" Zhang Jin and Zhang Chong rushed up and covered his head and face with their soaked robes, hugged him and jumped onto the unremarkable net shuttle boat with a yellow flag, and then soaked another robe and threw it to Jiang Bin.

Zhang Jin and Zhang Chong rowed hard and approached the gunboat where Emperor Zhengde was.

Along the way, because of the pre-arranged flag, the road was unimpeded.

When Jiang Bin looked back, he saw that the mast of the gunboat he was on just now was burned and broken, and hit the tilting ship hard, turning over like a dead fish, only facing the half of the sky reddened by the fire with the bottom of the boat.

The scorched stench after burning rose up together with the fishy smell of the lake, which made Jiang Bin, who was already a little seasick, vomit while grabbing the side of the boat.

He vomited until his bile came out, but he saw the faces of people floating on the lake again.

Jiang Bin closed his eyes, not daring to look any further.

On the way, some people tried to climb up the boat, but Zhang Jin kicked them back into the water cruelly.This boat is so small that it can only hold four people alive, how can it be merciful?

When they finally approached the gunboat where Emperor Zhengde was, a small boat came to meet him.

Zhu Chenhao's armor was completely wet, and he just sat silently. Jiang Bin endured the discomfort and staggered up, only then did he see clearly that the leader standing on the small boat was Tang He whom Lu Qing mentioned last night.

Tang He glanced at Jiang Bin, then looked at Zhu Chenhao who was about to become a prisoner behind him.

Before Jiang Bin could speak, Tang He smiled strangely.

With a sudden jump in my heart, I heard a loud bang above my head.
