open sea

Chapter 199 Yinglong
Zhou Yunxiang was not captured by someone, he threw himself into Haojing, sailed to the sea outside Haojing, went to the patrol flag army to report his name, and was pushed to Haojing by Deng Zilong.

There is no other reason, it is terrible.

He used to be a general, but he was only under the commander in chief. There were not many generals in Guangdong. It was very rare to be able to get into this position. It was not easy.

What kind of big battle has Zhou Shenjiang not seen?
Let’s not talk about the desperation and meritorious deeds in the past, let’s just say that Zeng Yiben attacked the coast, Zhou Yunxiang killed Geng Zongyuan, who was also a member of the general, and the land battle broke through three guards in a row, captured the water village, and finally grabbed a boat and went to sea to join Zeng Yiben, making a This kind of earth-shattering event, is this something that ordinary people can do?
But the name of his mother Chen Mu is like a nightmare.

For five whole months, this nightmare kept attacking Zhou Yunxiang, and it would never go away.

He wanted to find Zeng Yiben. Only when he found Zeng Yiben could he have regular supplies and get supplementary supplies from the Japanese pirates' fixed habitat before he could plan for the funeral.

Zeng Yiben was executed by Chen Mu, a thousand households in Xiangshan.

He had to escape, so he sailed to an overseas deserted island for a brief resupply, and headed towards the chicken coop. When he encountered merchant ships and thieves on the road, everyone was looking for him with his portrait. His subordinates were all battalion soldiers, and they were still wearing court armor, each of them was accurate. Even his mother, Franji, and the long-haired Fangui beat him when she saw him. After several battles, he asked the captives what was going on.

Chen Mu, a thousand households in Xiangshan, asked Franji to find him.

Just a small guarding thousands of households, relying on the jurisdiction of Hao Jing to drive Frangji people, Zhou Yunxiang recognized it.

After finally escaping to the chicken coop, Zhou Yunxiang learned a lot, and asked his battalion soldiers to pack the armor into boxes, go ashore and bury it in the old forest, thinking that the chicken coop was the site of the big pirate Lin Daoqian, let alone Lin Daoqian now He is in Guangdong, so it should be fine to mix fish and dragons here, but who knows that some pirates recognized him and fought another battle on the shore.

Chen Mu, a thousand households in Xiangshan, let the pirates want him.

He ran away, all the armored equipment was thrown into the chicken coop, many of his men died after several battles, and the rest were listless. Zhou Yunxiang took them and ran to Penghu, thinking that Lin Daoqian might have a close relationship with the government, Entrusted by Chen Mu, Penghu is the territory of the great pirate Lin Feng. It is impossible for Lin Feng to be chased away by the government. Maybe he will be fine if he escapes to Penghu.

In fact, Zhou Yunxiang didn't know where he offended Chen Mu. Could it be that Geng Zongyuan was Chen Mu's relative?I haven't heard of it!
Penghu has entered a den of thieves. Zhou Yunxiang didn't even go to the shore of Penghu. The number of their ships and soldiers has been spread along with the pirates' experience, and they were directly chased by more than a dozen pirate boats patrolling. This is not the end. Lin Feng was also alarmed, and more than 20 Dafu ship gunboats loaded with Francophones bombarded him from a distance, chasing him for more than 400 miles in the sea, two days and two nights!
Zhou Yunxiang, who had thrown himself into the net, went ashore without saying anything. The broken ship that took him to Haojing was sunk by a flag army warship patrolling the sea after leaving. Zhou Yunxiang, who knew the news, didn't even bat an eye. .

"I really can't help it, I really can't help it, what did I do to your commander to make him hate me so much?"

Deng Zilong knew the truth, but he didn't want to tell Zhou Yunxiang, so he put Zhou Yunxiang in prison with a smile, and didn't tell him more when Chen Mu came, and even looked at the ragged Zhou Yunxiang with a dry mouth and a little pity, and didn't talk to him at all. His desire to talk.

He didn't hate Zhou Yunxiang at all, and the reason why he was arrested was because he needed it.

Amidst Zhou Yunxiang's heart-piercing shouts, Chen Mu, who was about to leave, turned his head and said lightly, "You and I? There is no grudge or grudge, I just caught you to add points to the old man."

Zhang Han will not stay long in the position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Even if there is Zhou Yunxiang, it is estimated that he will stay for another year or a half before he should be transferred. Most of the Japanese pirates along the coast, Zhang Han has meritorious service in Guangdong, at least he can stay safely until the end of Wei Yinbao's incident in Guangxi.

When the time comes, what awaits the old man is not returning to his hometown sadly, but a promotion.

Chen Mu didn't care about when, where, or who the next governor would be.

It has only been two months since the starry night galloped through Zhaoqing. This time Commander Chen re-entered Zhaoqing, and the structure was different. There were flag soldiers escorting the prison cart to clear the way, and there were five guards of honor on the left and right. Squarely parked the guard of honor of soldiers and horses at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

Zhang Han was naturally delighted to escort Zhou Yunxiang, the rebel general, to Zhaoqing, and asked Chen Mu in the government office: "How did Zhou Yunxiang be captured this week? Are there any casualties in the Banner Army?"

"There is no need to worry too much about the army, there are no casualties." Chen Mu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Zhou Yunxiang ran to Haojing by himself, fought with the giant bandits on the sea, was beaten to death but ran out of water and food, and had nowhere to go, so he fled to Haojing to lead him to death .”

"The last general just moved his mouth."

Chen Mu said with a relaxed smile: "Let the overseas merchants catch him, and promise to give some money to whoever catches him. Many captains are after profit, so they flock to him."

"With Chen Erlang here, I can rest easy!"

Zhang Han raised his head and laughed, swept away his gloomy mood before, praised Chen Mu, and reported this meritorious service to the Ministry of War.

As Chen Mu thought, whether or not Zhou Yunxiang is actually not a big problem for Zhang Han, it is nothing more than a matter of heart, and it cannot determine whether he will be transferred in the future.The only difference is that at the end of this year he admits to being incompetent, submits a letter to retire, and is selected by the imperial court next year.

In any case, it is a great thing for Zhang Han not to have to write a letter to be angry. What is more important is that he can wholeheartedly support Guangxi Yin Zhengmao's offensive against Wei Yinbao. They are asking the imperial court to mobilize troops to prepare for a big fight——Zhang The old man can't take care of anything else, Yin Zhengmao and Yu Dayou need to do the war, he only needs to arrange the supplies.

There are good guns in Chen Mu's Weapons Bureau, Zhang Han knows that, after Chen Mu returned to Nanyang Guard, he sent a letter to Nanyang Guard, ordering the Military Weapons Bureau to report the cost of the guns, and send [-] guns to him before December. To Zhaoqing, from Zhaoqing to Guangxi.

With the iron molds in place, Commander Chen's Military Weapons Bureau made cannons very quickly, saving a lot of time. Twenty cannons could be built in half a month with the existing two-pound cannons made by hand. The double loss is converted into the cost of iron material and copper material and reported.

All these matters are handed over to Guan Yuangu, the head of the Nanyang Military Weapons Bureau. Commander Chen has been busy teaching his apprentices recently.

He took in an apprentice, a young man from Shiqi's hometown, named Shen Zonglian, who had experienced many Japanese rebellions when he was young. Art, Artillery.

Being a teacher is very interesting.

Chen Mu was teaching Shen Zong how to fire the Frang machine gun in the suburbs, when he saw Long Junxiong came running quickly with the two of them, and reported: "General, there is a boy who led a dozen Miao soldiers to the Wei Yamen and said he wanted to visit You, who spoke disrespectfully to the family soldiers, were surrounded by troops led by Deng Qianhu, but you showed the signboard of Banzhou Xuanweisi, you should go back quickly, what is your name Yang Yinglong."

"Banzhou Xuanweisi? The chieftain who can't beat the eight poles is here to run wild?" Bozhou is in Guizhou, half of Guizhou and half of Guangxi in the middle, which made him furious, and suddenly stopped and raised his hand and asked: "What do you call troublemakers? name?"

"Yang Yinglong, Deng Qianhu yelled angrily and said his name several times before hitting him before."

Yang Yinglong.

Chen Mu's expression changed, he nodded heavily, got on his horse, cursed secretly, and said emphatically, "That's not a brat!"
