After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Zhao Heng and Lu Wanzhi rushed to Mingzhou overnight, and the Mingzhou navy was indeed in disarray.

The Mingzhou Navy has a total of 5 people and 1 warships. In the past six months, it has lost more than 4 navies and [-] warships in fighting Japanese pirates. Now there are only [-] people in the navy and [-] warships. .

After successive defeats, both the prince and the eldest son fell into the sea, life and death were unknown, and the dragons had no leader.

There are two generals in the Mingzhou Navy. One is Cao Qin and the other is Jiang Suling’s father, Jiang Chao. The two are quite conflicted now. Cao Qin thinks that they should not fight fiercely at sea, and now the army’s morale is broken, while Jiang Chao feels that the prince’s life and death are uncertain. It is better to go out to sea to find the whereabouts of the prince, instead of being frightened by those Japanese pirates.

When Zhao Heng arrived, Cao Qin and Jiang Chao had just quarreled.

Seeing the two people in front of him, Zhao Heng showed his Tiger Talisman and said: "Your Majesty has an order. In case of special circumstances, the king of this county can order the three armies, and your Mingzhou Navy is also included in the order."

Seeing Zhao Heng, Cao Qin and Jiang Chao bowed repeatedly and said, "See the county prince."

Lu Wanzhi said: "My father-in-law has been in Mingzhou for almost 20 years, how could he fall into the sea this time and his life and death are unknown?"

"Hey, this year's military rations are very low. The winter beside the East China Sea is already bitingly cold, and the sea wind is still strong. Finally, a ship of military rations came and was snatched away by pirates..."

Zhao Heng frowned and said, "The military rations are low? How is it possible?"

Jiang Chao said: "This year's military rations are very small. It's just rice bran. Even the rice bran is pitifully small. We asked the governor of Mingzhou, and they said that this year's grain in the south of the Yangtze River is in short supply, and the military rations in Mingzhou are just these." Now, in this severe winter, the ship is already hard, if there is no food, how can we fight?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Mingzhou knows the state? Isn't it Shen Luozhi? Why didn't he say it earlier because the military rations are not enough?"

Zhao Heng also said: "The military rations are not enough, why didn't you tell the court?"

Jiang Chao sighed and said, "Far waters can't save near fires. Even if we went to the imperial court, it would take two months to go back and forth. In the past, Mingzhou had the most and the best military rations. No one dared to owe you money." The state's military rations are also in short supply this year.

Also, the ships of the Japanese pirates were not so good before. This year, those Japanese pirate ships are comparable to our Dasheng warships, so that the prince underestimated the enemy and was surrounded by enemy ships, so he had to abandon the ship and flee. "

Zhao Heng said: "Is there still a shortage of military rations in Mingzhou?"

Cao Qin said: "That's right, there is a severe shortage of military rations. In previous years, it was good food. This year, we can't even eat rice bran. The Japanese pirates are more powerful than in previous years. The morale of the army is almost gone."

Zhao Heng said: "Zhizhi and I will go back to Yuezhou and settle accounts with Shen Luozhi!"

Zhao Heng and Lu Wanzhi didn't stop, they drove back to Shanyin, and went to the mansion of Yuezhou Zhizhou, it was still dark.

Zhao Heng ignored the obstruction of the servants in Zhizhou Mansion, entered the main courtyard, kicked down the door of the master bedroom, and saw Shen Luozhi who was sleeping soundly inside.

Zhao Heng pulled up Shen Luozhi's neckline, "Why don't you give food to the Mingzhou Navy? Why do you only give the Mingzhou Navy rice bran, or pick it up?"

When Shen Luozhi first woke up, listening to Zhao Hengzhi's words, he thought he was dreaming, but when he saw Lu Wanzhi standing at the door with a lantern, he knew it wasn't a dream.

Shen Luozhi said: "I did this to collect the evidence of Princess Yuyue."

Lu Wanzhi frowned and said, "What?"

Shen Luozhi looked at Zhao Heng in front of him and said, "Let go of my collar first."

Zhao Heng said: "You withheld Mingzhou Navy's military rations, which caused my father and elder brother to live or die. I let you go? If it weren't for you and I had a classmate friendship for a year, I would have made you kneel by now Now talk to me."

"Zhao Heng, let go." Lu Wanzhi walked into the room, looked into Shen Luozhi's eyes and said, "I trust him."

Shen Luozhi looked up at Lu Wanzhi, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Zhao Heng reluctantly let go of Shen Luozhi: "Zhizhi, do you trust him?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Well, I believe in him, he is my apprentice, I believe that Shen Luozhi who can write such articles must have a strong character, and he will not withhold military rations."

Zhao Heng said: "But this time the military rations given by the Mingzhou government are indeed less, and the military rations are much less than in previous years."

Shen Luozhi pulled the collar of his clothes and said: "This matter started two months ago, when Princess Yuyue found me and threatened and lured me to help her get a great career."

Zhao Heng frowned and said, "I knew that Aunt Gui'an and Princess Yuyue are not good people! If they are their mother and daughter, the brothers and sisters mentioned by Concubine Hui before she died were Aunt Gui'an!"

Shen Luozhi said: "At that time, I was coerced and lured by Princess Yuyue, so I told His Royal Highness about Princess Yuyue's ambitions, and His Royal Highness told me to follow suit.

After all, Princess Gui'an made great contributions to the dragon back then, and it would be impossible to bring down Princess Gui'an without conclusive evidence.

Your Majesty's brothers who ascended the throne were wounded and died, leaving King Chu and Princess Gui'an.

If there is no evidence today and only my personal testimony is used to attack Princess Yuyue and Princess Gui'an, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public and damage your majesty's reputation.

Therefore, His Royal Highness asked me to cooperate with Princess Yuyue to collect evidence from it, so that Princess Gui'an can be captured in one fell swoop. "

Zhao Heng said: "Why do you keep such important things from me?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "According to you, this Japanese pirate is not from the Japanese country, but a subordinate of Princess Gui'an?"

Shen Luozhi nodded and said: "Yes, there have been frequent floods in the south of the Yangtze River these years, and there are Si Yan to help, so Princess Gui'an has been looking for refugees in the south of the Yangtze River to join the pirate team.

There are many small islands in the East China Sea. They use Si's merchant ships to send the recruited soldiers to the small islands for training. In addition, Princess Gui'an already has an army in her hands. She recruits a batch of troops and sends them to the small islands every year. The supplies, weapons and armor are all covered by the Si family's merchant fleet. Now Princess Yuyue said that their army at sea has 10 people. "

Zhao Heng said in amazement: "One hundred thousand! How could there be so many?"

Shen Luozhi took out the map and said: "I pretended to seek refuge with Princess Yuyue. This is the map that Princess Yuyue gave me. Many small islands are scattered with Princess Gui'an's soldiers, and some of them are even the people of the same island. All are soldiers.

On weekdays, King Chu's army only dealt with pirates. He didn't know that the fishermen on the surrounding islands had long become Princess Gui'an's soldiers. That's why the Si family and other merchants earned so much silver taels every year, but they didn't have any silver taels to pay taxes. The reasons for this are all used to support these sailors. "

Lu Wanzhi said: "One hundred thousand is unbelievable, but the Si family has large ships trading with foreign merchants going out to sea almost every day. It is really not difficult to rely on these merchant ships to transport food to these soldiers. It is rare that Princess Gui'an's subordinates How come so many well-made warships?"

Shen Luozhi said slowly: "The officials of the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Department belong to Princess Gui'an. I have found this evidence, and I was planning to hand it over to His Majesty when I return to Chang'an during the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect..."

Zhao Heng was extremely annoyed and said, "What are you waiting for when you have evidence?
One hundred thousand!That's 10 people, how many people are there in the Mingzhou army?

You still want to wait a month before presenting the evidence. By then, our Yuezhou will be captured!Shen Luozhi, you are really stupid! "

Lu Wanzhi said: "Don't worry, let's go back to Mingzhou first. Whether it's Japanese pirates or Princess Gui'an's rebels, we need to keep them out of the Dasheng Sea."
