Humen Town, Trumpet Bay,
The sea breeze whistled! Dark clouds are peaking!
The emperor committed evil, and in the Xinghua building not far from the estuary, the shopkeeper and the running hall were busy with a four-legged sky. The dilapidated small restaurant has been renovated from the inside out.
Driven away a few idle days at the door, picking off the feet of the foot; knocking to make up the eight-immortal table of the lame leg; shaking off the ash from the plaque, scraping the kitchen knife with a thick layer of greasy oil. After cooking, he took a few thoughts and cooked a few delicate dishes. The dilapidated dilapidated restaurant here looks like it.
The reason why the shopkeeper is so motivated. It is because a big man wants to feast in Xinghua Building today.
On the second floor of the restaurant, two rows of coat slaves lined up. The table was full of delicious dishes, but there were only three chairs.
On the main seat are the Humen Marine Admiral, Geliang Tubaturu, Zhuo Huxing. He looked over thirty years old, black-faced, wide-eyed, wearing a dark blue military uniform, and not arrogant.
"Mr. Zhang made a joke. You didn't come by accident! Someone just returned from the bandit yesterday. You see, Jiadi took off. This meal was only a feast. When I looked back, I went to Guangzhou to report on my job. I Mr. Zhang, please go to Longquan Tower, a good restaurant in Guangzhou. Let's have a good meal. Chef Chen Ang Xing and Chen there, but my good friend. "
On the guest seat was a twenty-four-year-old young man with meticulous braids, high nose bridges, deep eye sockets, and looking far away, a sense of perseverance that broke into the heart.
"Master Zhuo is too polite. At that time, he wiped out the blind man in Xijiang and the countless tigers from Guangxi and Guangxi who made the sea pirates suffocate. When the kid turned white, how could he afford to ask Zhuo?
When the youth was polite, an old man with a black hat and black suit and white braid was eating and drinking. It was really a shake of the cheeks, the back of the molars, the wind and the wind, the wind and the wind sweeping the leaves, and they were not interested in the dialogue between the two.
There are only three people at the big wine table.
The young man's name is Zhang Dong.
Zhang Dong's father was hosted by Lezheng College, and he himself was the newly appointed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lin Yuanfu's closest staff.
It is amazing to mention this Lin Yuanfu. He is a stand-alone prince. He is a bachelor of the original Huage University, a prince and a prince. He has been the governor of Shanxi and Zhili before and after.
Half a month ago, Lin Yuan fought the sacred order and gave the king's life a banner and a sword. As the governor of the two provinces and Guangdong provinces, all military affairs and the people's livelihood in the two provinces were restrained.
This time, the emperor sent Jingli, who is famous both far and near, for two purposes.
As a result, the eroded military and political affairs were eliminated, and malfeasance and corruption were not detected. In the second place, the Qing dynasty giants of the South China Sea were defended and the Nanyang Commercial Road was maintained.
In other words, Lin Yuanfu's visit this time will destroy both corrupt officials and pirates.
Zhuo Huxing is also a high-ranking military attache, but the generals are a little worse than a Beijing military official like Lin Yuanfu.
And this young man can get the blue eyes of a character like Lin Yuanfu, naturally let Zhuo Huxing dare not despise.
Humen claims to be the first estuary of the Xijiang River. It is the first gateway to Guangdong and is guarded by heavy soldiers. More layout of Zhenyuan. Fuyuan. Although the three large turrets in Weiyuan have not fired one in ten years, they can be large in scale. Not to be underestimated.
After Lin Yuan Fu entered Guangdong, he became infected with the disease. So Zhang Dong was sent to Humen. The purpose was to inspect the armaments on behalf of Lin Yuanfu. Sort out the defensive situation here, wait for Lin Yuanfu to come here, and then report to him.
"Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be arrogant, I have heard of your talent name, haha ~" Zhuo Huxing said casually, and then his eyes turned: "This, then, since Master Lin has caused terroir, it will be delayed for a few days To come. But do n’t know where people are at this moment?
Zhang Dong put the glass down and tickled his mouth.
"Master Lin came by the sacred order, naturally it would not delay too long. Maybe we can finish this meal, and Master Zhuo saw him and may not."
Zhang Dong's face was ambiguous. The poor and sour-hat old man's eyes glanced indifferently at his side, and the corners of his lips were still stained with soup.
Zhang Dong noticed the gaze of the old man, coughed twice, and changed the subject. He pointed out the railing and said:
"Three rivers converge, eight people enter the sea, and Humen is known as the first seaport on the Xijiang River, and it really has a great momentum. Master Zhuo has a good commanding force, Humen Haikou. There is really a man in charge, and the posture of Wan Fumo open,
Not far away, there was a battery turret on the coast, the overturned gun-point flame flags hunted and danced, the waves of blue stone bricks were washed away, and the tide of the Xijiang River flooded with white foam and flooded the gate wall. The piled-up dhows were on shore, guarded by soldiers with hats and tattoos on their chests.
Zhuo Huxing saw that the old man with black hat swallowed more than half of the table full of food. He was a bit unhappy, and complained that Zhang Dong, the old servant, was rude, but Zhang Dong's itch was in the words.
He coughed first.
"It's just the responsibility. Don't dare to take credit."
Zhang Dong handed a sentence: "Master Zhuo's martial arts are remarkable, but I don't know, can I deal with that Nanyang gangster?"
Zhuo Hu's face was full of happiness: "The South China Sea is wide and its people are tough, but it is really difficult to deal with, but well, you have to be a slave to guard the country for the holy. Even if it is difficult and dangerous, you won't make a mistake."
He sighed and said:
"Mr. Zhang, don't blame me for complaining to you. In this capital, there are always people who say that our generals in Guangdong and Guangxi are corrupt and their armaments are corrupted. As a result, the pirates of the seas are in chaos. Are you talking nonsense? "
"Noble Nanyang, how many hair thieves can still be produced? The risk of long voyage is high, and if there is a shipwreck, is it a monster?"
Zhang Dong took a sip of wine and said lazily, "But I heard that there is a monster thief Zhang He along the coast of Annan. People have said that he is a reincarnation of a beast in the sea and has the ability to cross the river?"
"Oh, how can Mr. Zhang take this fool's word seriously, but he passed it on by maggots, that's all right."
"I also heard that there is a ten lady on the sea, nicknamed" Gi Gu ", and she has never been born in a place where she has been slain. Is this also a fake?"
"It's just a stick, a little trick."
"So, I also heard that there is a man named Tian Baozai, whose pirates are crossing the border. It is like a tripod with tens of thousands of people. There are hundreds of ships and hundreds of artillery. Is this also fake?"
"Tianbao Tsai?"
Zhuo Huxing patted the table, his voice rose an octave.
"Mr. Zhang didn't know that Baozi this day was just the of the tired aunt, a little white face eating slipper rice. What tens of thousands, hundreds of cannons, good guys, how many people are I Guangdong sailors? Hey!"
Zhuo Huxing's snapped.
"There are so many pirates and so many guns, why don't you come to bomb my Humen!"
The sound of the empty restaurant echoed.
"Come and bang me at Humen ~"
"I'm Humen ~"
"Door ~"
The sound of gunfire is long!
In the viscous night, the frightened long hiss cut through the sky, and the orange flames reflected the side faces of everyone in the restaurant.
At sea level, the Duck Spirit showed a little red tip, the bulging sails were full of wind, and six red sailboats more than twenty meters long were posing as an arrow, galloping at sea.
The artillery fired more than ever, and the continuous Zhenyuan, Fuyuan, Weiyuan turrets were drowned by the red fire.
At the forefront of the Duck Spirit fleet, Xue Baguang stepped on the bow of the boat, the wind screamed, the corners of the boy's mouth cracked, and the black tooth holes in the firelight were horrible.
The entire Humen seaport is half seawater and half flame.
