Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 332 Changes in Central Fujian
After the heavy rain, the Pearl River estuary looked very wide. Nearly a hundred warships sailed in from the estuary, and the sails covered the river. It was so spectacular that people stopped to watch it.

Seeing this, Su Guansheng couldn't help being puzzled, he looked at the ships in the distance, they were warships of the Guangdong Navy, but usually the navy would hardly enter the Pearl River, why did hundreds of warships sail in together today, even at the expense of blocking the Pearl River channel.

In Wang Yan's group, apart from Wang Yan, there are actually no individuals who can stand alone, and talents with special status in the court, especially the lack of great civil servants who can support one party's government affairs.

This is not to say that the people under Wang Yan's command cannot be reused, but that their qualifications are too low and they do not have the prestige to control one side.

When Wang Yan left Guangdong, he had actually handed over the rights of Guangdong to Su Guansheng, not his confidant Liu Shun.

After all, Liu Shun's ability is limited, he can't support the overall situation of Guangdong, and Su Guansheng has been in the officialdom for many years, from the local to the central, has a wealth of administrative management and overall situation, so both Liu Shun and Shi Lang have to accept it. His temperance.

At this time, Su Guansheng couldn't help dismounting from his horse again, with a look of displeasure on his face, he turned his head and said to the guards beside him: "Sign the flag, ask the navy why they sailed into the waterway?"

After more than half a year of development, the Guangnan Shipping Department has stabilized, and the trade volume is increasing every day. It can be regarded as the heart of Su Guansheng. He was naturally unhappy when he saw that the navy blocked the waterway and affected the trade.

The soldiers around him naturally didn't understand the navy's semaphore, so they clasped their fists in response, and then ran to find the officers on duty at the pier. They wanted to maintain order in the waterway, so they could recognize and use the semaphore.

In the past half a year, the navy commanded by Shi Lang has never made any mistakes, never did anything like Meng Lang's actions, but today's actions made Su Guansheng's face darken.

At this time, the soldiers who had just left ran back and knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the cabinet, the navy said with a flag, please board the boat, there are important matters to discuss!"

Hearing this, Su Guansheng was even more puzzled, Shi Lang couldn't report to him what was going on, but instead let him board the boat to discuss, he really didn't know what tricks Shi Lang was playing.

At this time, an official at the side said with trepidation: "Ministry, it's not about mutiny~"

Shi Lang turned out to be a member of the Zheng family. Hearing what the official said, Su Guansheng couldn't help feeling tense, thinking, "Could it be that Zheng Zhilong promised some favors, and Shi Lang is going to join the Zheng family again?"

Seeing that Su Guansheng frowned, Chen Bangyan said hastily: "The cabinet and the navy are mostly the old troops of the Duke of Chu, and the deputy general Yu Fangqi is the Duke's confidant. Even if Shi Lang wanted to mutiny, he would come out to stop him. With the position of a thousand households, Shi Lang was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Navy, this is all the favor of the Duke, and it is impossible for him to do anything out of the ordinary!"

"That makes sense~" Su Guansheng nodded, but he was even more puzzled in his heart, so he frowned and said, "Prepare the boat, I'll go see what Shi Lang is going to do!"

The navy has been patrolling the Guangdong Sea, and nothing major has happened in the past few months, but today they did something like this and asked Su Guansheng to come on board to discuss it, which is really abnormal.

Not long after, the soldiers prepared the boat, and Su Guansheng and Chen Bangyan boarded the boat together. The soldiers moved the oars and slowly approached the navy.

When the boat approached, the planks were put down on the lucky boat, and Su Guansheng and Chen Bangyan, supported by the soldiers, boarded the large naval vessel.

On the deck, Shi Lang and Yu Fangqi looked a little anxious. Seeing the two boarding the ship, they hurriedly greeted them, and saluted: "Forgive me, the Ministry, the incident happened suddenly, and the last general was in a mess, so he led the ship rashly." The team sailed into the Pearl River~"

"General Shi is the commander-in-chief of the Navy, why is he so Meng Lang~" Su Guansheng scolded him, but he was even more puzzled in his heart, and he frowned and said, "What happened?"

Seeing this, Shi Lang said solemnly, "Zheng Zhilong has surrendered~"

"what?"

"Gebu, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and Fujing underwent a major change. General Lin Cha escorted Tang Wang, Deng Wang, Zhou Wang, Yi Wang, and Liao Wang to escape disaster by boat. I didn't know what to do, so I led the fleet directly into the Pearl River, and came to the Xunge Department to discuss countermeasures."

"Has Fujing changed?" Hearing the words, Su Guansheng was like a thunderbolt, his face turned pale, and he said with trembling lips, "What about Your Majesty?"

Hearing the words, Shi Lang said in a daze, "I don't know~"

Su Guansheng's legs and feet suddenly went limp, but fortunately Chen Bangyan, who was also behind him with a pale face, supported him, so he didn't fall to the ground and lose his majesty.

"Government~" Seeing this, all the generals exclaimed in surprise. Su Guansheng calmed down a little, as if he had aged ten years. He hurriedly said, "General Shi, I want to meet the king of Tang. Send someone to call General Liu back to Guangzhou, and discuss with King Qin~”

"No, I'll do it now~"

Chen Bangyan on the side now understood why Shi Lang asked Su Guansheng to board the boat to discuss, because the news that Zheng Zhilong had surrendered, Fujing had changed, and His Majesty was missing was really shocking.

There are many possibilities for this, one of which is that His Majesty is not in danger of life and is fleeing to Guangdong or Jiangxi, so they have to be prepared to pick him up, and to fight against the Qing soldiers killed from Fujian, and to prevent someone from When the news is unknown, support the new king.

The second is that His Majesty has fallen into the hands of the Qing army and was even killed.That
They have to find another person from the remaining vassals to support them as the new lord, and in order to avoid repeating the scourge of the Fulu dispute and the Tanglu dispute, they also need to block the news and avoid the feudal vassals fighting.

No matter what the situation is, the news of Fujing cannot be leaked out, otherwise it will be a huge blow to the whole Nanming, which will inevitably cause chaos and panic among the gentry and common people.

Chen Bangyan couldn't help but glanced at Shi Lang, and then said to him: "Shi Zongbing, the navy should not enter Guangzhou, and they can't go ashore until the cabinet makes countermeasures, so as to ensure that the news will not be leaked!"

"Yes~" Shi Lang nodded upon hearing the words, "Thank you, Mr. Iwano for your reminder~"

Tang Wang Zhu Yukai was the younger brother of Emperor Longwu. After Longwu ascended the throne, he inherited the title of Tang Fan and was named Tang Wang.

In the cabin, several vassals and ministers who escaped from Fujing sat on the floor. They all looked a little embarrassed. Su Guansheng entered the cabin, saluted, and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, where is Your Majesty? Where is Empress Zeng? The Crown Prince Where is Lin Yuan?"

There was a set of etiquette between the ministers of the Ming Dynasty and the vassals, but at this time Su Guansheng didn't have time to pay attention to those details. He asked three questions in a row, which showed the anxiety in his heart and the confusion.

All the suzerains and vassals looked in shock, only Tang Wang Zhu Yuzhen who was sitting in the middle straightened his body slightly, and said: "There is no need to panic for the Suge Ministry. Your Majesty has General Wang Yuanzhang guarding him, and he is going to Jiangxi. What's the danger~"
