Su Chengyu was grounded when he returned to the palace. Princess Chen cried so much, Su Chengyu saw that she was crying very miserably, so she had to keep saying good words to comfort her.

The Ministry of Rites handled the matter very quickly, and in only two days, it was confirmed that the sea ship of Chen Wangfu was indeed violated, and prohibited items such as fine iron and armor were found.

And the next day the decree came down.

The content is exactly the same as what Huang Daozhou said at the time, the prince of Chen Wang was demoted to the king of the county, the title of King Chen Zhou, and the canonization ceremony was reduced. Keri set off for the capitals of the Jiangnan Prefectures. The 8,000 taels of official silver used by the labor army have been transported to Ganzhou Mansion in Jiangxi.

The luggage cart and horses were prepared a long time ago, and Su Chengyu immediately set off after receiving the order and left Fujing.

Soon after the Chen Wangfu was established in Fujian, there were only 100 guards in the palace, and Princess Chen personally selected more than 60 people from them for Su Chengyu to bring.

To say that Zhu Linmiao's father Zhu Yurui used to mix better than Zhu Yujian. The latter was imprisoned by Chongzhen because he brought the king of soldiers privately, and Zhu Yurui has always been the king of the county. At least half of these more than 60 people are guards who have followed Zhu Yurui before, and their loyalty is needless to say.

Qiao Qian and several servants were also in the team, and the maid Su Chengyu only brought Chanyi alone, which was the result of the princess's repeated insistence. In this era, it is extremely hard to go far away, and he originally didn't want to take girls on the road.

Su Chengyu looked back at the gate of Chen Wang's Mansion, and couldn't help but be extremely discouraged, and silently thought: Da Ming asks for more blessings, brother did his best.

When Su Chengyu's carriage and horse left Tianxing Mansion for more than 100 miles, it was almost dusk, and he saw a group of people standing or sitting in the distance, gathering on both sides of the road.

Shi Lin, the commander of the royal palace's guards, immediately warned him. The carriage and horses stopped, and all the guards took out their weapons and arranged them into a defensive formation, protecting Su Chengyu's car in the middle.

Su Chengyu was shocked, could it be that someone robbed the road?

The group of people also saw Su Chengyu and them, and those who were sitting stood up one after another.

The person at the head walked over, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that it was a middle-aged man dressed in Confucian clothes.

He saluted Su Chengyu in the middle of the road and said, "But the king of Chenzhou is above?" ”

Su Chengyu got out of the car and pushed aside the guards, "It's me." You are? ”

"Huang Lu has seen His Highness." The middle-aged man knelt down and saluted as he spoke.

Su Chengyu stepped forward to help him up, looked him up and down, and there was no information about this person in his memory, "Do we know each other?" ”

"In Xia Huanglu, my father is a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and he will be on the road next week."

"It's the son of Huang Ge Lao." Su Chengyu arched his hand.

"Are you coming to see the joke?" Shi Lin said in a rough voice behind him, "If it weren't for your old man, our master wouldn't have been sent out of the capital!" ”

Su Chengyu didn't rush to say anything, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"My father asked me to ask the son to plead on his behalf." Huang Lu shook it to the end, and then said, "My father and several colleagues have made up some military salaries, and I will hand them over to His Highness." ”

"Military pay?"

Huang Lu said respectfully: "My father wanted to lead the people to the north to conquer the captives, but after listening to the words of the king of Chenzhou that day, he thought about it for a long time behind closed doors, and finally felt that what His Royal Highness said was really reasonable.

Later, above the court, my father heard that the Holy Lord wanted His Highness to train the army, and he knew that the Zheng family would be hindered, and what happened later was not true. So my father will plan and send His Royal Highness out of Fujing on the occasion of impeachment, and from then on, the tiger will return to the mountains and dragons into the sea, and it will be the pillar of the society in the future! ”

Su Chengyu frowned and said, "I'm alone," he glanced at Shi Lin and the others behind him, "With more than sixty people, there are no soldiers and no power, and I am afraid that I will be drowned if I enter the sea." ”

Huang Lu smiled and shook his head, "The sergeants of the first battalion that the Holy Lord was originally going to train in Tianxing Mansion will soon receive a secret order and go to Longnan, Jiangxi. ”

"To Longnan?"

"Longnan Zhixian is the best friend of my father's life and death, and the chief officials of the adjacent Quannan and Dingnan counties are all protégés of my father, plus Ganzhou is rich, and the supply of heavy grain and grass is cheap, so I think His Royal Highness is the place of choice for military training."

"What do you mean......" Su Chengyu looked at Huang Lu and said in disbelief, "You want me to go to Longnan?" ”

"Exactly."

"I'm going to Longnan to train the army?"

"I believe that soon Your Highness will receive a secret decree asking you to choose a place to train a new army." Huang Lu said, "When it comes to the labor army, someone will take you to do it." ”

Su Chengyu instantly understood, it turned out that Huang Daozhou took great pains to send himself and Yu Xin's subordinates out of Fujian separately from Zheng Zhilong, and also helped him choose the place of Longnan, where he could completely get rid of the constraints of the Zheng family and concentrate on military training.

He suddenly remembered that on that day, Huang Daozhou asked Hong Xu for tens of thousands of taels of silver to work for the army, and it seemed that he was helping himself to ask for military salaries.

This old fox ...... Uh, offended, Su Chengyu sighed in his heart, although this old man is a little pedantic, his brain is really fast enough.

"Oh, yes." Huang Lu motioned to the group of people behind him, "These people are my father's disciples, protégés, and old friends, and they are all passionate and want to serve the country with my father's Northern Expedition." Now I learned that His Highness wanted to train a new army, so he immediately came to vote. ”

When the group of people saw Huang Lu's signal, they stepped forward one after another and saluted. Su Chengyu hurriedly beckoned everyone to get up.

Huang Lu began to introduce Su Chengyu one by one.

"The former Linjiang battalion guerrilla Zhu family brother, because he was dissatisfied with Zheng Hongkui's dominance, has resigned and is idle. This time, at the invitation of my father, I came to help His Royal Highness. ”

"Father's disciple, Chen Xiongfei, Hong Si ......"

"Father's protégé, Xia Fuxian, Ying Tianxiang ......"

There were more than 20 people in total, and Su Chengyu greeted them one by one. Most of these people look polite, and some of them also have swords at their waists, but they don't look like they can cut people just by looking at the sword pendant that is more than a foot long.

But these people are all treasures, and those who can read and write in this era are all literate people, not to mention the disciples of these old Huang Ge.

After the introduction was completed, Huang Lu took out another pistol and handed it to Su Chengyu, "My father also asked me to transfer this thing to His Highness for consideration." ”

Su Chengyu was a little surprised to take the one-foot-long pistol, and when he saw the huge wheel in the middle and rear of the gun body, he was sure that it was a reed wheel pistol. It weighs about five catties, and the surface is carved with intricate and delicate patterns, a typical European style, which should be from trading with the West.

"Thank you, Elder Huang Ge."

Huang Lu just smiled and said goodbye.

After Su Chengyu saw him go away, he asked him to leave the three boxes of military pay to load the car, which contained more than 200 taels of gold and nearly 2,000 taels of silver.

Su Chengyu had to let Qiao Qian ride in the same car with him, vacate the carriage to load the money, and told Shi Lin to be more careful all the way.

The crowd is back on the road.

Su Chengyu suddenly felt that the haze that had been pressed in his heart for many days was swept away, the peaks and loops turned, and the willows and flowers were bright, and it turned out that the front was not the end.

Although this small force is not enough to turn the tide for the time being, he has at least regained his qualification to participate in the game, and with these fires, he believes that he will be able to ignite a prairie fire!
