Chen Mu was frightened enough by the herald's 'fleet emergency', and in his impression, his 'fleet' was Panama's Deng Zilong fleet, and the latest news after that army occupied the entire territory of Panama was to build a port and shipyard in Darien Bay on the east coast.

If that fleet encounters an accident, it will greatly damage the morale of the Ming army.

However, the fleet reported by the herald was not Deng Zilong, but Chen Ju's fleet, which had lost news for a long time, and the Nantang ship returned.

The 1,000-ton Nantang ship arrived at the port in a leisurely manner, accompanied by a Spanish Galen ship that looked like a building ship.

The general on the ship was Luo Shangzhi, the general of the Shenji Battalion, who led less than half of the Nantang ship's combat strength, and all of them were like losing a battle when they docked, with a strong smell of sea, and even Almanza, who had just been released and approved, said: "They smell like a lump of rotten seaweed." ”

No one would beat him for this disrespectful remark, because the flag army on the shore felt the same way, and even Luo Shangzhi felt like a ball of seaweed.

Luo Shangzhi was so strong that he was called 'Luo Qianjin' as early as the same time.

Others are armor to support people to bulge, he is just the opposite, it is people to hold up the armor to bulge, the junction of the two breastplates is too strong, the leather surface is two inches wider than others, and two steel plates are specially added to protect the ribs, holding a large shield in one hand and carrying a halberd on his shoulder, wrinkling his nose and walking down the trestle.

Seeing Chen Muhuo, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, hurriedly walked over, Luo Shangzhi was so startled that he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't don't, don't come here, it's too stinky!" I shed tears when I smoked it! ”

Chen Mu also smelled a strong smell of dead fish, he had just forced his breath to come over, but now when he heard Luo Shangzhi say this, he took two steps forward cooperatively and paused-he also knew that it smelled, which meant that the situation was not serious.

"What's going on, what about Jian Jun Chen? And your fleet, that's all there is left? ”

After a full fight, there were less than 300 people coming down from the two big ships, and there were hundreds of forbidden troops on Deng Zilong's side, and there were only 1,000 people if they added one piece, so the casualties of the forbidden army in shipwrecks would be great.

Hearing this, Luo Shangzhi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There are more, three thousand eight hundred miles to the south, there are Lizard Island and Turtle Island, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers on the island, and the prison army is fine." ”

The stone in Chen Mu's heart has landed, and in this way, there are only more than 300 flag troops who disappeared due to shipwreck...... More Flag Soldiers have been confirmed dead after the shipwreck.

No one can avoid a sudden storm, Chen Mu has long been prepared in his heart to kill and injure his subordinates, and he only has one requirement for himself, to see people alive or dead.

"Then your boat, what's the matter, it's leaking?"

"It's not leaking, the Westerner splint ship was captured in the war, and there are three more on Turtle Island, which is a little smaller than this." Luo Shangzhi said and glanced back at the two behemoths moored at the sea, and explained to Chen Mu: "The boat is full of fish and turtles, and the north and south currents of Turtle Island converge, and there are a lot of fish, but it is too far away from here." ”

There is no need for Luo Shangzhi to explain the latter words, the sea stinks and the fish die, and as a result, it also makes an extremely huge smell on the shore, so that Chen Mu doesn't know what to say.

This ship is called the Nantang Ship, not the Pond Ship!

Luo Shangzhi reported the situation, the shallow sea had begun to unload the ship, the sailors inside from the bottom of the silo to carry out the barrel of live fish and huge turtles, live fish directly through the porthole into the boat under the boat, more than four feet long giant turtle needs to be carried up by four or five flag troops, along the board of the boat to the boat.

A small boat can hold more than a dozen buckets of fish, but if you put down two giant turtles, you will not be able to walk, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

Luo Shangzhi explained: "That turtle somehow grows, one weighs four or five hundred catties, and there are more than 20 in the boat. ”

Chen Mu: ???

He really wanted to ask Chen Ju, why did he let these big kings come over? To be honest, such a big thing can't be stewed in a pot.

"There are thousands of them on Turtle Island, and they can be found everywhere, and they lick the dew and dent all the stones on the shore."

Luo Shangzhi pointed to the giant turtle that had just been unloaded on the trestle and said to Chen Mu: "Putting twenty of these on the bottom of the boat is better than any ballast, a boat of 200 people, and they can last for more than 20 days if they run out of food." ”

"The overseer called me over to deliver the news, to inform the commander that the fleet is safe, and to exchange fish and turtles for some food...... Eating fish all day is not a problem. ”

Chen Mu frowned and asked, "Why didn't the prison army come?" ”

It's very strange, it's so good, the storm has subsided, the sea route is clear, and the battle is gone, why is Chen Ju still staying there?

Addicted to playing turtles?

"Then there are still 160,000 catties of smoked fish and salted fish that are not ready, and the prison army asked me to come over and report to the marshal to see what to do."

"160,000 catties?"

Chen Mu paused, blinked and was stunned, how long has Chen Ju passed, it was less than two months, and it took nearly ten years for Luo Shangzhi to come back, and Chen Ju had caught more than 100,000 catties of fish before ten years, what was he doing?

"It was originally 30,000 catties, and thousands of people couldn't eat it at all, so they made some salt and smoked it, and the fish that were made of salt were released, and more than 100,000 catties were fished one after another...... You don't need to catch fish over there, you can just catch them. ”

Fishing, salt, and bacon, Chen Ju is a lonely gourmet.

Chen Muzheng was thinking like this, and heard Luo Shangzhi boasting about himself, and said: "Thanks to the big handsome who brought fishing gear to the tail of the boat, otherwise we would have no fish to eat after we finished eating, and Wang Ba would have suffered." ”

In fact, Chen Mu felt that even if there was fishing gear, the Wang Ba over there would also suffer.

The affairs of Changsheng County continued, Luo Shangzhi and his subordinates put down the live fish, smoked fish, salted fish and giant ghosts on the boat, and a group of Beijing troops followed the flag army to find a river bath, and news came from the north again, this time even Zou Yuanbiao, who drank wine, was brought back.

As soon as Chen Mu walked back to the port yamen, he saw Zou Yuanbiao and Bai Tao, the chief of the White Horse Department, coming together, Chen Mu said: "You came just in time, and you were about to tell you about food, and the county doesn't have to worry about rations anymore......"

Before Chen Mu finished speaking, Zou Yuanbiao sighed and said: "You really don't have to worry about rations, the merchants of the White Horse Department came back, bringing food and people, and there was a lot of food and many people coming over one after another." ”

When the magistrate said this, his expression did not seem to mention something worthy of joy, but on the contrary, he made a sad face and said: "There are slaves who have contracted smallpox from nowhere, the small county wants to block the road, the doctor wants to plant pox for them, and the marshal does not remember how many boatloads of people came from Shandong before, where are they?" ”

From Shandong?

"It's called Wang Chaozuo, right? How do they ...... to make mats in the county"

Chen Mu couldn't go on as he spoke, like being hit by a thunderbolt, yes, the hundreds of them were smuggled over, and they didn't get pox in Tianjin!

"Quick, go find Wang Chaozuo!" Chen Mu came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Not only Wang Chaozuo, but also the local natives - I'm afraid we don't have enough pox seeds!" ”
