Two picket boats exited the Longshan Gate from the Zhonghe Waterway and sailed into the Qiantang River. On the river, a huge sand ship was coming downstream.

The sentinel boat quickly approached, the gondola was lowered on the sand boat, and Ruan Dacheng was hoisted up.

"Where is this ship sailing to?" Ruan Dacheng asked with a blank look on his face as he looked at the sailors who were lifting him up.

Several sailors glanced at Ruan Dacheng with indifference. One of them took advantage of him and hit him directly on the back of the neck. Ruan Dacheng, who was unprepared, suddenly blacked out and passed out.

The sand boat sailed slowly along the river and disappeared into the dark night.

Phoenix Mountain Military Camp.

Lu Zhenfei was at his desk planning a river defense plan. The Zhenjiang Navy's defeated troops had basically been gathered together, with more than 3,000 soldiers. In addition to the 8,000 elite sailors and 30 warships of Shi Lang's command who had just arrived, it could be said that now

It is fully capable of ensuring that the Qing army cannot enter Hangzhou Bay.

But Lu Zhenfei's thoughts went far beyond that. After arriving at Zheng Camp, he discovered that this was not the navy at all, but the navy of the Zheng family. The whole camp was composed of confidants of the Zheng family, and they were prone to doing things at every turn.

Noisily returned to Fujian.

Although such a navy has combat capability, its loyalty to the imperial court makes Lu Zhenfei very worried.

In the past two days, during the reorganization of the navy, Zheng Hongkui didn't say anything, but he had strong opinions in his heart. If Lu Zhenfei hadn't been holding the palace token, Zheng Hongkui wouldn't have bitten this bullshit Zuo Shilang.

The mountain wind howled, and the wind that penetrated caused the candlelight in the tent to sway.

Lu Zhenfei calculated the time and realized that Shi Lang should have delivered the letter. In this letter, Lu Zhenfei clearly reported the current situation of the Navy and his concerns to Zhu Changzi. In the past two days, he had been nailing Zheng Hongkui.

The reason in the camp is that they are afraid that Zheng Yingjun’s mentality will change.

At this time, Zheng Hongkui did not rest, but inspected the port south of Fenghuang Mountain.

His eldest brother Zheng Zhilong asked Shi Lang to bring him a letter, telling him to preserve his strength. The Ming Dynasty was dying and he could no longer work for it. He asked him to find an opportunity to quickly return to Fujian with his men.

Standing on the cliff, watching the boats gathering in the harbor below, Zheng Hongkui felt very confused.

"General, since the head of the family asked us to go back, why did he send Shi Lang to bring so many troops?" The deputy general following Zheng Hongkui asked doubtfully. He is also a descendant of the Zheng family and knows about the letter.

"Haha, that guy Shi Lang has great ambitions, and the Zheng family in Fujian can't satisfy him!" Zheng Hongkui said with a smile.

When he was in Fujian in the early years, he drank with Shi Lang, fought against the red-haired man, and fucked the great pirate Liu Xiang. At that time, Shi Lang often got drunk and boasted, saying that a man was born between heaven and earth, how could he live in a depressed state for a long time!

Although this sounds a bit rebellious, Zheng Hongkui regarded Shi Lang as his brother, so he just treated it as a fart and didn't take it seriously. However, if he couldn't stand it many times, it would eventually reach the ears of his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong.

Shi Lang's drunken rants made Zheng Zhilong very unhappy, and he gradually grew disgusted with Shi Lang. Shi Lang was not a fool, and he gradually felt left out. So, taking advantage of this time, Zheng Zhilong sent people north to pick up Zheng Hongkui when he returned from the south, and took the initiative to invite him.
p>

Zheng Zhilong also guessed that Shi Lang was planning to find another way out, so he thought of his great contributions to the Zheng family, decided to get together and leave, and ordered him to lead his troops north to support him.

"No wonder Shi Lang follows that guy named Lu every day, like an old yellow dog." The deputy general suddenly realized and couldn't help but despise Shi Lang. Isn't this just a white-eyed wolf?

"Eh?! Everyone has their own ambitions." Zheng Hongkui shook his head and said with a smile. He still understands Shi Lang. He just wants to display his ambitions. Whoever can give him a stage, he will work for. You said he covets glory and wealth.

Not necessarily, the gold and silver beauties given to him by the Zheng family in recent years have been very generous.

The deputy general curled his lips, somewhat disagreeing with what Zheng Hongkui said.

"Then when will we return?" the deputy general asked with concern. This is also the question that many soldiers in the Zheng camp are most concerned about.

Zheng Hongkui was silent for a moment. The deputy general behind him was a little stunned when he saw this, and stared blankly at the second head of the Zheng family.

The pines and the water waves roar together, and the ice wheel shines on the jade belt.

His cloak was blown up by the long wind. Zheng Hongkui looked up to the sky and sighed, then turned around and strode back towards the camp.

......

In Prince Lu's Mansion, Shi Lang had put on new clothes and was sitting on the chair in the main hall, feeling a little uneasy, with half of his buttocks hanging in the air.

Zhu Changzi was sitting upright, holding Lu Zhenfei's secret letter in his hand and looking at it carefully.

"Shi Lang, are you willing to fight under General Zhennan or lead the army alone?" Seeing that Shi Lang was almost done, Zhu Changzi asked slowly while reading the letter. Shi Lang's spirit was so strong that the First Emperor

With just one glance, his eagerness to make contributions can be seen clearly.

This kind of eagerness is a double-edged sword. If you use it incorrectly, you will hurt yourself. So the First Emperor decided to polish Shi Lang.

Shi Lang was shocked when he heard this, and quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and replied: "The last general is willing to lead the army alone!"

As soon as these words came out, even Li Bao, who was standing next to Zhu Changzi, couldn't help but rolled his eyes and was speechless, thinking that this person is too honest, so you can't be more tactful.

Zhu Changzi was also amused and chuckled, and then asked: "How many troops can you lead?"

Shi Lang raised his head suddenly, then thought for a while with a pensive look on his face, and replied seriously: "If it is an infantry army, it can lead to three thousand. If it is a naval army, the more the better!"

"Hey! Are you Han Xin alive?" Zhu Changzi laughed and joked after hearing this, thinking that this Shi Lang is really an upright person, not modest at all. But I like this uprightness very much.

"The superintendent is full of praise, and the last general is frightened. The last general has fought a lot of large and small water battles, and he still has some experience." Shi Lang replied with a proud face. Han Xin is a soldier, and we are not enough on land.

Look, but when you get into the water, it’s hard to say.

"Okay! From now on, your department will be renamed Qiantang Navy, and you will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang Province, deputy commander-in-chief of Qiantang, and admiral of the headquarters navy to patrol Hangzhou Bay." Zhu Changzi stood up from the table and rushed with a solemn expression.

Shi Lang said.

"The last general takes orders!" Shi Lang kowtowed and said excitedly. Although he was only the deputy general, he was appointed by the court, and he was now a serious court official.

"Shi Lang, aren't you curious why you were only given the position of deputy general soldier?"

"When I return to prison, I will stop being curious and just fight if there is a war."

When Zhu Changzi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He pointed at Shi Lang who was kneeling on the ground and shook his head: "What a coward!"

In fact, Xiang Lang was still a little curious, but he knew that no one could achieve success in one fell swoop. As long as he had solid achievements, the deputy commander would sooner or later lose the word "deputy". As for who was the commander, it didn't matter, as long as it didn't hinder him

Just fight.
