Chapter 66: The Sand Boat Gang's Chief Scoop!
Leaving Hong Chengchou's official hall, the sunset had already set a small half of the horizon.
On the horizon, most of the sky is surrounded by red, the red light is brilliant, and the ambilight is brilliant, like a majestic and magnificent huge gold silk print.
Xu Changqing didn't have time to enjoy this magnificent beauty, and there was a lot of wetness on his back.
Even if he had already expected this, he had adapted to this high-intensity living state, but at this time, Mu Ran was accelerated by Hong Chengchou in a little anxious, and Xu Changqing didn't know where it was, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.
Hong Chengchou's move made Xu Changqing really disappointed......
"Hehe, that kind of infernal-like tacit understanding at the beginning, I can't go back!"
Xu Changqing shook his head slightly, and soon cheered up, he had already seen that Liu Lang had rushed over in a hurry.
The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and Liu Lang didn't have time to get close to Xu Changqing, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, the five warships over there in Denglai are ready, when will you go over to receive them?" ”
Hong Chengchou is like this, not to mention Liu Lang, who is afraid that his vision is less than one-tenth of Hong Chengchou.
Xu Changqing smiled: "Brother, I can go over now after receiving the warship, but I still need some gunpowder, craftsmen and a good hand who can draw accurate maps, how do you arrange it?" ”
Liu Lang went to the Denglai fleet in the morning about the warship, and he naturally understood it thoroughly, but he didn't know what Xu Changqing said later.
Suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Brother, this matter is naturally fine." But first, I'll have to ask the Governor. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly walked a few steps forward, "Brother, you wait for me to come down, I'll come right away." ”
Seeing Liu Lang hurriedly enter the official hall, the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but provoke coldly.
secretly said in his heart: "Okay, this kind of person who is cold and short-sighted by nature is still good at business!" ”
Soon, Liu Lang came out, and immediately smiled and took care of Xu Changqing.
Hong Chengchou spoke, how dare he, a little ant who had just entrusted Xu Changqing with the blessing and been promoted to the garrison?
What's more, according to Xu Changqing's arrogance, he will definitely not hesitate to benefit him.
Liu Lang also knew at this time that Xu Changqing was not in a hurry to leave now, even if he had to plan for gunpowder, craftsmen and things that would not be harvested at night.
Xu Changqing smiled, but stopped Liu Lang: "Brother, let's not let the gentlemen over there wait." Go pick up the ships first, and then go back to the city to do these little things. ”
"Huh? That's good! It's still the brothers who think about it thoroughly, let's go, let's go and receive the warship first! ”
…
Soon, Xu Changqing and Liu Lang rushed to the seaside in the east of Ningyuan City, where several officers from Denglai had been waiting here for a long time.
One of them is the old guerrilla Wu Ye who communicated with Xu Changqing last night.
Liu Lang had already ordered his cronies to handle the gunpowder, craftsmen and nights that Xu Changqing wanted, and Xu Changqing was not in a hurry, and humbly greeted a few people.
After a few simple greetings, Wu Ye smiled and winked at Xu Changqing: "General Xu, please come here!" Five warships are on this side. ”
Xu Changqing understood, and said with a smile: "There is an old general Lao Wu." ”
Liu Langleng paused, and was just about to follow, but a Qian general manager next to him laughed and said: "Master Liu, we are tired for a day today, Xu Ye is here, let's rest for a while, let's go, there are already prepared wine and food, let's drink and eat some food to pad our stomachs first, wait for Xu Ye and them to come over, let's take care of it again." ”
Liu Lang just wanted to speak, but he was already being dragged away by these thousands of people.
Five warships were moored in the sea outside the fleet at this time, and they needed to be crossed by small boats.
Xu Changqing and this Wu Ye got on the boat, and Wu Ye smiled: "Xu Ye, I don't know if I don't meet in person, I really know what a hero Xu Ye is." I'm afraid, Xu Ye is now listening to the sky, right? ”
Xu Changqing saw that this Wu Ye's tone did not seem to be fake, and he was quite sincere, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Wu, don't tremble, little brother." It's all just luck. In this war, the younger brother is not sure. ”
"Haha."
Wu Ye laughed: "Xu Ye, you are too modest. With your relationship with Hong Du, the deputy general will be in the bag sooner or later. In the future, I will have to count on Xu Ye to carry me a lot. ”
Xu Changqing also understood this Wu Ye's thoughts and feelings at this time, and this guy knew that Hong Chengchou attached great importance to him.
However, it is also relieved to think about it.
is valued by a character like Hong Chengchou, and it is naturally a matter of time before he is promoted.
The two chatted and laughed, and the boat also passed through the fleet and came outside, and the five clippers also appeared in a slightly darkened field of vision.
The supplies here are being delivered around the clock, and there are many torches lit on the surrounding ships.
At this time, in the hazy night and firelight, all five of them were more than 20 meters long, all of them were wrapped in iron armor, and they looked quite vigorous and capable, like five big fish that had surfaced, facing the waves, gently tumbling.
That kind of vigorous sharpness makes people can't stop the adrenaline rush and full of exciting pride.
Wu Ye explained with a smile: "Master Xu, after all, there are fewer people on our side, and there are only twenty or thirty sailors on these ships, as well as a few pilots with good eyesight, who can distinguish the direction of the wind, and are familiar with sea routes. ”
Seeing Xu Changqing nodding calmly, Wu Ye smiled again: "By the way, Xu Ye, the boats you asked for before are the same." ”
Xu Changqing was slightly stunned, how could he not understand what Wu Ye meant?
Feelings, this old guy is afraid that he will get these warships, and he will no longer want the goods that have been negotiated before.
After a moment, Xu Changqing smiled: "Old brother, don't worry." What is the most important thing for us to live? Isn't it just a righteous reputation? Don't worry, brother, what we talked about before, what to do, let's do it! I've got the silver ready, it's in the Green Snake Forest! ”
Wu Ye couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't help but give Xu Changqing a thumbs up: "Although Xu Ye is young, he is really my unborn hero!" By the way, Xu Ye, there is a distinguished guest, who is on the ship now, I want to get to know Xu Ye, I don't know, Xu Ye is convenient for you. ”
"Guest?"
Xu Changqing looked at Wu Ye's ingenious appearance, and the whole person suddenly brightened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but be even worse.
This Wu Ye, or the person behind this Wu Ye, is really a wonderful person.
However, this person is so meticulous, it is worth seeing!
Xu Changqing also wanted to see what kind of existence existed and could do things so thoughtfully.
Of course, Xu Changqing doesn't blame Li Hongyun for this.
After all, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.
Li Hongyun can be this Chinese person, he has already given himself enough face, and not divulging the secrets is also a basic quality.
If he leaked some secrets to himself in advance, it would make him look down on him.
…
Soon, Xu Changqing and the two began to climb one of the clippers along a suspension ladder.
As soon as he climbed halfway to the side of the ship, Xu Changqing heard a soft and melodious sound of the piano not far from the deck.
Wu Ye above hurriedly smiled: "Our master likes to play the piano and is a master in this way." ”
Xu Changqing smiled and nodded.
On the deck, Xu Changqing quickly saw the appearance of the person playing the piano.
This is a very elegant middle-aged man, dressed in white, Shengxue, who is fiddling with a small guzheng that is one size smaller than ordinary guzheng with his eyes closed, silent in his own rhythm.
Not far from him, there was a handsome maid dressed as a small maid, but obviously a female, who was carefully arranging a table of wine and food.
Here, before Wu Ye could speak, the middle-aged man in white opened his eyes, stopped playing, and looked at Xu Changqing with a smile: "When I was in Tianjin Wei, I heard Xu Changqing's name of Xu Ye, and I saw it today, and it really deserved it!" ”
Xu Changqing had vaguely guessed the identity of the man in white, but he didn't dare to confirm it for a while.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "This master, you have praised it falsely." Speaking of which, it is me and the sons of Liaodi, I want to thank you for your tireless efforts to transport these materials comparable to lives to Liaodi. These, for those of us who are Liaodi, are timely rain! With your strong support, this decisive battle with the Jiannu Jurchen, we have a lot of chances of winning! ”
People carry people, and the higher they lift.
The man in white gave Xu Changqing face, and Xu Changqing naturally gave him enough face.
"Haha."
The man in white suddenly laughed: "Master Xu, when I saw you, I felt old." However, it is really a great blessing in life to be able to meet a hero like Xu Ye at this time! Xu Ye has some leisure, come and have a few drinks with me? ”
"Why not?"
Xu Changqing smiled: "Hehe, I'm really hungry." ”
Saying that, Xu Changqing was unceremonious, and strode forward and sat on the small chair next to the man in white.
The man in white suddenly laughed even more heartily, and directly plucked the strings and sat opposite Xu Changqing.
The beautiful maid quickly put the wine and food together, Xu Changqing drank a few glasses of wine with the man in white, and the man in white also reported his name to Xu Changqing.
It is at this time that the overlord-level existence of the Northern Sea of the Ming Dynasty, the chief scoop of the Sand Boat Gang, and at the same time the Shen family and Shen Tingyang who have the official status of the scholar in the Guozi Prison!
Shen Tingyang, in later generations, will definitely not be as famous as his peers Zheng Yiguan and his father and son.
However, what he did, his pride and loyalty, were much stronger than Zheng Yiguan, the father of the country's surname.
A few generations ago, the Shen family was engaged in Caoyun, and later turned to the ocean, and the background is extremely majestic.
By the time Shen Tingyang took control of the Shen family, this scale and arrogance had once again magnified a lot.
Back then, when Mao Wenlong was in Phi Dao, Shen Tingyang undertook a lot of grain and grass transportation business from Denglai to the Dongjiang River.
In the middle and late stages of Chongzhen, Shen Tingyang directly undertook the transportation of grain and grass from Tianjin Wei and Denglai to Liaodi, and was definitely a red-top businessman with strength, courage, and willingness to do practical things for the country and the nation!
In later generations, Jin Da's 'people don't know Chen Jinnan, even heroes are in vain', among which Chen Jinnan Chen is the helmsman, there are many shadows of Shen Tingyang.
At this time, the reason why Xu Changqing was able to buy a boat from Denglai was also because Shen Tingyang had heard of Xu Changqing's fame and arrogance, and he admired it very much.
Shen Tingyang was quite arrogant, chic and downright, Xu Changqing drank a few glasses of wine with him, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
When Xu Changqing lightly led the topic to the Dongjiang River of the year and said the name of his father Xu Huchen, Shen Tingyang was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, looking at Xu Changqing's gaze again, he couldn't help but be more eager.
exclaimed: "No wonder, no wonder, no wonder Xu Ye is so old, he has such a rushing Lingyun Zhi, it turns out that he is the descendant of Xu Shen General Xu Ye!" Speaking of which, I also had a relationship with Xu Ye back then, and I am a real hero! ”
As he spoke, Shen Tingyang couldn't help but give Xu Changqing a thumbs up, laughed and praised: "Come, Master Xu, we really have to have a drink today!" ”
Xu Changqing laughed: "It's really an honor for the little brother to meet Shen Ye today, tonight, you have to get drunk before resting!" ”
