Borrow the day to change the day

Because Yan Yingyuan is the top general of the Navy, representing the imperial court.Although what he did did not express a hint of wooing people and poaching Zheng Zhilong's corner, but in actual effect, it was subtly changing the views of the soldiers, especially those who followed Zheng Zhilong's surrender, towards the court.

This kind of subtle influence reached a certain level, and Yan Yingyuan raised his arms, and naturally a large number of people would follow him, and he didn't need to say anything in advance.

In addition, Yan Yingyuan actually has another advantage, that is, among the pirates under Zheng Zhilong, many of the main sailors were former imperial navy officers, so they naturally have a sense of belonging to the imperial court.

They originally belonged to the Penghu Navy, but they were recruited by Zheng Zhilong because they were disbanded by the court and refused to resettle them.

The reason why Zheng Zhilong demanded to be recruited by the imperial court one after another was also due to the pressure from the original imperial navy soldiers in the army.Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

While Yan Yingyuan was working hard to learn naval warfare, and at the same time caused confusion to two people with ulterior motives, Governor Lu Xiangsheng of Denglai also encountered something, but he was not unhappy.

At this time, he was practicing swords in the garden of the back office of the governor's office in Dengzhou.

I saw him with his upper body naked, his muscles were sharp and well-proportioned, his body was tall and straight and fit, the width of his shoulders and narrow waistline formed a nearly perfect inverted triangle, every muscle seemed to have been optimally proportioned The matching, the muscles are full of strength.It's a pity that there are several scars in his perfect body, which spoil the overall beauty.But from another aspect, it shows his meritorious deeds.

Lu Xiangsheng's whole body was wrapped in the light of the knife, and his quick movements and sharp blade made the guards standing around shout loudly from time to time.

After practicing until his body was slightly sweating, Lu Xiangsheng stopped and threw the [-]-jin practice knife to Zhang Xianzhong who was standing aside. He was the only guard here who could catch it.

Lu Er handed over a towel at the right time, and praised: "Master's kung fu is still the same as before, without any influence."

Since the death of Lu Zhan, Lu Er has taken over Lu Da's work and accompanied Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng took the towel and wiped it off, and said with a smile, "These are just minor injuries, so it won't be a problem now that the injuries are healed."

In fact, although it was a small injury, it left scars on his body.Generally speaking, it is not a minor injury.

Today is Lu Xiangsheng's first practice after recovering from his injury, and he feels that it has not affected him at all, and he is still very satisfied.

He handed back the towel to Lu Er, took the clothes and put them on, while asking, "Have the Jinyiwei supervisors from the capital come down to the islands yet?"

Denglai's big defeat last time was caused by Jianlu's spy sneaking in.Therefore, the imperial court sent the Jinyiwei Supervising Army to the Denglaiming Army.

In other frontier armies, the main duty of the Jinyiwei Supervisory Army is to prevent corruption of generals, withhold soldiers' salaries, and prevent corruption in the army; but in this Denglaiming Army, their main duty is to counter espionage.It is also because of this that these guards in Jinyi have been trained by Liu Xingzuo.

Lu Xiangsheng also knew that it was impossible for him to know everything about the situation on every island, so he still welcomed the Jinyi Guards sent by the imperial court.He actively cooperated with the supervisory army's actions, which was different from the response of other frontier troops.

"Master, almost all the ships that sent them to the islands have returned." Lu Er replied.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, turned to Zhang Xianzhong and asked, "How about the night refusals sent out?"

Zhang Xianzhong's previous performances have been good, and he even appeared in "Ming Pao" and was regarded as a hero who killed captives in Deng Lai Ming's army.Although this has something to do with him being the adoptive father of the fourth child, it would not have been possible without his own heroic performance and Lu Xiangsheng's approval.

When "Ming Pao" was first sent to Denglai, it immediately caused a sensation in the army.None of them expected that what Zhongxing Hou said back then would become true.

Those soldiers who were published in the newspapers were all happy, and the people of Ming Dynasty all over the world will know their deeds. What a glorious thing this is!And those soldiers who did not appear in the newspaper secretly vowed in envy that they would also work hard to kill the enemy and be listed in the newspaper.

In addition, Denglai soldiers are also very grateful to the court for enshrining the spirit tablet of the sacrificed comrades to the Hall of Martyrs in the capital to enjoy the incense of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

None of these things had ever happened or been heard, and it kept morale high in the army.

Zhang Xianzhong knew everything about himself today, in addition to being grateful to Marquis Zhongxing who was in the capital, he also wanted to thank the governor of Denglai who looked like a martial artist.When Lu Xiangsheng asked him, he quickly replied respectfully: "At present, I have not dared to go deep into the enemy's territory, so the enemy's feedback is limited."

After answering Lu Xiangsheng's question, he recalled his previous curiosity, and asked with some doubts: "Zhongcheng, the imperial court ordered us to send Denglai dispatches so early that we will not accept them at night, is it asking us to do something again?"

There is also a reason for him to ask this question. Many of the wounded soldiers in Dengleming's army have not recovered yet.Anyone who knows a thing or two about military affairs should know this, but they still let Denglai send them out at night.Moreover, it was also stipulated that Jianlu should not be found out as much as possible, Zhang Xianzhong was surprised.

There was no explanation in the order given by the court, and Lu Xiangsheng was not informed.However, he probably guessed it based on his own speculation.

You must know that Jianlu was short of food, and he notified the court.Moreover, he has been devoting himself to destroying Jianlu's food supplies, and even fell into a big trick for it.He is extremely sensitive to the matter of food now. If anyone in the Dengleming army can guess, it is definitely him.

However, although Zhang Xianzhong was already his confidant, he didn't intend to tell him his speculation. Lu Xiangsheng just said: "Do your own thing well, and if you have any follow-up orders, you will naturally know later."

"What Zhongcheng said is right, this subordinate understands." Zhang Xianzhong was a little embarrassed, and quickly responded with cupped fists.

Lu Xiangsheng turned around and walked towards the gate of the garden, while ordering: "Prepare your horse and go to the barracks to have a look."

This was originally arranged. Lu Xiangsheng went to the barracks to visit the wounded and listen to the voices of the lower-level soldiers.

Speaking of which, many of Yan Yingyuan's actions in the Fujian Navy were learned from Lu Xiangsheng.This kind of sharing joys and sorrows with soldiers is the easiest way to gain the morale of the army and build a strong army.

But at this moment, a sergeant walked in quickly, clasped his fists to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Report to Zhongcheng, the capital Zhongxing Hou sent an envoy to see Zhongcheng alone."

If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there, and the few people present who heard the report can be sure that the fact that Zhongxing Hou sent someone to find Zhongcheng is definitely related to the previous request to send out Ye Buhui.

Lu Xiangsheng did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Okay, I will wait in the study."

The envoy sent by Zhongxing Hou, Lu Xiangsheng, was not hypocritical, and it was important to do practical things.He didn't change his official uniform anymore, so he went directly to his study and waited, hoping to see the envoy as soon as possible.

Zhang Xianzhong and other personal guards did not enter, but just stood guard at the door of the study.

After a while, the messenger sent by Hou Zhongxing turned out of the corridor and appeared in the courtyard at the door of the study.

When Zhang Xianzhong saw it, he couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect that the messenger sent by Hou Zhongxing would be him.
