Chapter 662: Play a big one (three shifts)

Chen Dachang walked out of the temple.
Several godsons and grandsons were crowded around him.
"God father, just give up like this? Do you want your son to go in and teach that woman a lesson?"
Chen Dachang snorted coldly, "Don't have branches. Wait and see, sooner or later she will take the initiative to ask our family for mercy."
Chen Dachang galloped all the way back to the city.
Rong Xin has been waiting for a long time.
"Chen Gonggong, my wife has written. Madam is dissatisfied with our progress in Jiangnan, especially the overseas layout."
Chen Dachang took the letter and read it.
He frowned and said: "Father Rong should truthfully report to his wife about the situation overseas. Our wharves, warehouses, shipyards, and granaries overseas have been repeatedly attacked by local indigenous people. The progress is slow, and it is not our home. Hope, it’s really helpless."
Rong Xin said unhurriedly: "Gong Gong Chen can rest assured that I have reported the situation overseas to his wife. The wife has already made arrangements. This time, there are two thousand guards who came with the letter."
Chen Dachang was shocked, "Two thousand guards? Where did so many people come from?"
Rong Xin smiled, and then said, "There are recruited veterans, as well as purchased prisoners of war, miners, and some fishermen. Gonggong Chen can rest assured that the two thousand guards have passed the clear road and there is no problem with their identity.
These people used to lick blood. And before they came, they had been training in Mizusawa for nearly half a year, and they were familiar with water, so long-term life on the water was not a problem. "
Chen Dachang let out a sigh of relief, "It has been training for half a year, so my wife has already planned this."
Rong Xin reminded him in a low voice, "Duke Chen forgot, Mrs. Chen said in person that we are going to establish our own guard team. These two thousand people are the first batch, and they will be sent over one after another.
With these two thousand people, only waiting for auspicious days, Grandpa Chen personally led them out to sea, killing the natives overseas without leaving a piece. The wife said, since the overseas natives do not listen to enlightenment, they will kill a blood stream, kill them with fear, and kill them. "
Chen Dachang stared at Rong Xin, "Madam asked our family to go to sea?"
"Don't you think Grandpa Chen doesn't want to go to sea? You don't want to make meritorious work, and you don't want to personally lead two thousand guards to kill those indigenous people?"
"Of course my family wants to! What about you, father-in-law, how does madam arrange you?"
"I will go to sea with Father Chen and follow the arrangements of Father Chen."
Chen Dachang was surprised.
Is Gu Jiu so relieved of him?
Let him lead the team, even Rong Xin has to follow his arrangements?
When Chen Dachang had doubts in his heart, he was full of pride.
Great man, who doesn't want to make contributions, who doesn't want to expand territory, and who doesn't want to colonize overseas.
Chen Dachang couldn't hide his excitement.
Although the decision to go to sea was a bit hasty, even though the two thousand people seemed to be less, and despite doubts in his mind, he was willing to take this trip and take risks.
"Okay! Our family accepts Mrs.'s arrangement and leads these two thousand people out to sea to kill him without leaving a piece of armor."
"Duke Chen is proud."
The next step is to prepare to go to sea.
The two thousand escorts were pulled directly to the island and first adapted to life at sea.
Inland lakes and rivers are not the sea.
Being able to live freely on the inland water for a long time does not mean being able to adapt to life at sea.
Chen Dachang was busy setting up a fleet and preparing for the supply of goods.
Three days before sailing, the gift arranged by Gu Jiu finally arrived.
Ten five-thousand-jin brass cannons were installed on sea ships, enough to counter pirates.
Looking at the brass cannon, Chen Dachang couldn't hide the shock on his face.
"Where did this all come from? Why didn't our family know that Madam Zhao was still in the ordnance business."
Rong Xin smiled, put his hand on the brass cannon and stroked it gently, as if he was petting his lover.
He said lightly: "Madam, of course, is not in the ordnance business. However, a few foreign barbarians have been arrested by Zhuangzi in the south, and they are willing to do anything to survive.
Several barbarians are good at making cannons, and his wife adheres to the principle of using waste to let barbarians cast cannons, but she did not expect it to be successful. These ten bronze cannons are the second batch of finished products with superior performance. "
Chen Dachang grasped the key question at once: "Where did the first batch of brass cannons go?"
Rong Xin shook his head, "It's useless!"
"Abandoned?" Chen Dachang did not understand.
Rong Xin solemnly said: "The first batch of brass cannons are very easy to explode and are very insecure. They failed to pass the request of the lady and they were all scrapped. Tens of thousands of catties of brass were wasted. In fact, it is not a waste. If you sell the brass with impurities, you can sell it to Shaofu for some money."
Chen Dachang was shocked.
He knew that Gu Jiu played a big game, but he didn't expect to play so big.
Even the cannon was cast.
Rong Xin added:
According to Mrs.’s plan, when we arrive at the overseas shipyard, all these cannons will be unloaded and follow the shipyard’s arrow tower. The local natives dared to invade and directly blasted his mother. But the premise of all this is that we must pass the pirate blockade smoothly. The sea."
Chen Dachang said with a serious face: "Li Hailong and the Jiangnan Metropolitan Government have reached an agreement to go overseas to harm their own people if they don't harm the coastal waters. It's not a thing."
Rong Xin laughed, "This is something that can't be helped. The navy can only operate in the coastal waters, but cannot go to the oceans. When it comes to the oceans, it can only rely on ourselves and two thousand guards behind him. They are all men who want to make a living, Chen Father-in-law must make good use of it. I'm waiting for my life, but it's all in your hands."
"Father Rong, don't worry, our family knows the importance."
Three days later, auspicious days are auspicious, and it is time to travel far.
Chen Dachang led a fleet of twenty cargo ships from the harbour to the overseas shipyard.
The fleet sailed along the coast and everything went smoothly.
After passing through Lingnan, the fleet entered the deep sea, and the atmosphere on the ship also tightened.
Anyone who discusses life at sea knows that in the past two or three years, pirates led by Li Hailong have been active in the deep sea.
They use islands as their base, move forward and backward flexibly, looting cargo ships, and do not leave a living. Unless you surrender to become a pirate, or sell stolen goods for the pirate, you can save your life.
When the battle started, many people recalled it afterwards and their memories were vague.
Only clearly remember that the horns blew and the cannon roared.
The boat is like a flat boat on the sea, violently shaking.
The pirate equipment was updated, and it was even equipped with a cannon.
Cannonballs from both sides flew together and bombed each other, and no one wanted to get a bargain.
The battle started at noon and continued until evening.
Relying on two thousand guards who feared death, they finally repelled the brutal attack of the pirates.
However, I know my own family affairs.
After a battle, the two thousand guards were reduced by 30% and suffered heavy losses.
Chen Dachang leaned against the hatch, covered in blood.
He was injured, and the blood was pouring out.
If the bleeding is not stopped in time, he will die here. The body was thrown into the sea.
Rong Xin walked towards Chen Dachang, covered in blood, but it was all the blood of the enemy.
He squatted down and pressed Chen Dachang's wound, but he did not rush for treatment.
Chen Dachang opened his mouth and stared at Rong Xin firmly, "Do you want to kill our family? Today is a good opportunity. Killing our family will be unknowingly, and the wife will not pursue it afterwards."
Rong Xin slowly shook his head, "Gonggong Chen misunderstood. I never thought about killing you."
"Then what are you doing now? If you don't want to kill me, why don't you want to save me? Are you trying to watch our family lose too much blood and die?"
Chen Dachang panted heavily and asked angrily.
Rong Xin shook his head again, "My father-in-law only needs to answer one question for me, and I will stop the bleeding for him immediately."
After speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said: "It contains a hemostatic medicine prepared by Mrs.'s exclusive secret recipe. With this medicine, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be saved."
Chen Dachang's pupils were wide open, and he stared at the medicine bottle in Rong Xin's hand, "Hahaha...cough cough...Did the wife tell you to do this? All this was arranged by the wife, right? Our family got on the ship and was injured. , The madam is manipulating behind, right?"
"Yes or not! Madam only arranged for Grandpa Chen to board the ship, but did not arrange for you to be injured. I can only say that God is on Madam's side." Rong Xin said solemnly.
Chen Dachang sneered, "We were still thinking about it before we boarded the boat. I'm afraid there will be an accident on this trip. As expected. But I didn't expect that the person who calculated our family would be the wife. Come on, what does the wife want to ask?"
Rong Xin solemnly said, "Madam has only one question. Madam wants to know why Grandpa Gu died."
Chen Dachang's expression changed drastically, without even thinking about it, he directly retorted, "Why did Mr. Gu died? How could our family know. If you want to kill our family, why use so much nonsense? Just throw our family into the sea."
Rong Xin shook his head, "Gong Gong Chen misunderstood. Madam did not intend to kill you from beginning to end. Madam always said that Gong Gong Chen has great talents and must protect his safety. Overseas colonization depends on his talents. , There will be a day of realization. I have waited for a few people to add up, and none of them are as good as Duke Chen."
Chen Dachang sneered, "As things are up to now, what do you say about this?"
Rong Xin sighed, then took out a sealed letter from his arms.
"This is a letter written by your wife. Your wife asked me to give this letter to my father-in-law for review when the situation is urgent."
Chen Dachang opened his eyes wide, "What else can she say?"
"My father-in-law won't know after reading it."
After speaking, Rong Xin tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, and placed it in Chen Dachang's hand.
And open the medicine bottle and sprinkle wound medicine on the wound.
Gu Jiu's hemostatic medicine made by himself has no hemostatic effect. The powder was sprinkled on, and the bleeding volume was gradually reduced.
Chen Dachang took a heavy breath, unfolded the letter paper, and read the letter by Gu Jiu to him word by word.
After reading it, he sighed, "She has guessed the truth, so why ask our family. Is our family's answer really that important?"
Rong Xin waited for his answer.
Chen Dachang laughed at himself and shook his head, "Tell Madam that Mr. Gu did indeed die because of this. At that time, the first emperor was short of time, and Mr. Gu was the only one who knew the truth besides me, so he must die."
Rong Xin nodded, "I will faithfully bring your words to Madam."
Chen Dachang waved his hand and continued: "Emperor Xian had also wanted to open the Zhongzong Digong Palace and get back the real jade seal. No one can compare to the appreciation of antiques and jade articles by the first emperor.
Father Gu personally took people to the underground palace, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the corridor, he was half dead. The remaining half, not dead or half disabled.
Next, what I want to say is the secret of the royal family, out of my mouth, into your ears, and stop at Madam Zhao. Be sure to tell Madam Zhao, this matter must not be told to His Majesty the Grand Prince, let alone let His Majesty know. "
Rong Xin made a poisonous oath.
Chen Dachang sighed, "Help our family to the cabin. There are many people here, not a place to talk."
Rong Xin called two small yellow doors and led Chen Dachang into the largest cabin.
The ship shook, and the people shook.
Chen Dachang was lying on the chair. He was badly injured and shed so much blood. This would have been the end of the battle, and he was in urgent need of cultivation.
Rong Xin took out another medicine bottle and fed Chen Dachang a pill.
"Don't worry, the life-saving medicine for you. Madam's exclusive secret recipe, as long as you have a breath, you will not die after taking this medicine."
Chen Dachang laughed, "Madam is really omnipotent! If she is a man, our family will definitely help her ascend the throne and become emperor."
Rong Xin sneered, "Madam didn't plan to rebel. Don't talk nonsense, and make trouble for Madam."
"It's just because the lady has no plans to rebel, our family is grateful. Fortunately Madam knows how to restrain."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about your secret luck."
