A sudden tornado caused more than 500 elite servants under Wang Pu to bury themselves in the sea. Although Wang Pu and the remaining more than 200 servants survived, the mast of the ship was broken and the sails were swept away. They could no longer continue to sail by the wind, so they had to go with the flow on the sea and leave it to fate.

After floating on the sea for half a month, when the fresh water and food on the boat were about to be eaten, the scar face, who was crawling on the half mast, was the first to find the land. The scars on their faces began to tremble with excitement. They shouted to Wang Pu on the deck: "General, land, the villain saw the land. We have saved it, we have saved it, hahaha..."

Wang Pu hurriedly looked up and asked, "Where, in which direction?"

Scarface responded loudly: "To the west, the direction of the sun setting!"

"The direction of the sun setting?"

Wang Pu put on a tent and looked west, and sure enough, he saw the faint coastline. Looking at the endless coastline, it should not be an island. It seems that the Ming Dynasty is ahead, but I don’t know where I drifted to it? But one thing is certain, this place must not be Shandong.

"Fishing Boat." Scarface, who was climbing on the mast, shouted again, "There are two fishing boats ahead."

Wang Pu looked in the direction of Scarface's finger and saw two small fishing boats. Wang Pu was about to put down the boat and sent someone to ask where he was. However, the fishermen on the two fishing boats had quickly put away the fishing nets, then turned around and ran away. In less than a cup of tea, there were only two small black dots left.

Wang Pu said in surprise: "What's going on?"

Xiaoqi smiled bitterly and said, "General, these fishermen are afraid that they regard us as pirates."

Xiao Qi was right. About half an hour after the two fishing boats disappeared, two large ships suddenly appeared on the sea in front of him. A sun and moon flag was hung on the main mast of each large ship, and rows of shooting holes were opened on the side. From the shooting holes, they were black small artillery ships of the Ming Dynasty.

[The national flag of Ming Dynasty: blue bottom, red sun and yellow moon overlap, meaning "Ming". The red sun emits twelve rays of light, and four large rays of light pointed to the four corners of the flag, meaning the brilliance of the Ming Dynasty shone on all the seas and wildernesses.]

"It's the Ming Dynasty's navy fleet." Scarface shouted, "We're really back to the Ming Dynasty."

At this time, the servants in the cabin also rushed to the deck, jumping and shouting, and waved their hands hard towards the Ming warship that was slowly approaching. They were all so excited that they were almost crazy. The excitement of these servants was imaginable. When they followed Wang Pu to Liaodong, they never thought that they could come back alive, but now they not only came back alive, but also brought back incredible fruitful results!

Wang Pu also sincerely sighed that the feeling of escaping from death is so fucking great!

Two naval warships slowly leaned over from their left and right wings, clamping Wang Pu's ship tightly in the middle. A general of the Ming naval commander poked his head out from behind the female wall and shouted sternly: "Who are you?"

Wang Pu went out and replied loudly: "General Datong - Wang Pu!"

"Wang Pu?" the navy general muttered expressionlessly, and then his face changed drastically, "What, are you Wang Pu, the general of Datong?"

Wang Pu shouted: "It's this town."

The navy general shouted, "What are the certificates?"

Xiao Qi raised Wang Pu's general seal above his head and said loudly: "Is this general seal considered a certificate?"

"It's really General Wang!" The navy general suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, come and see, General Wang, it's really General Wang who has returned from victory..."

The navy general shouted loudly, and hundreds of navy officers and soldiers rushed to the deck like wind, rushing to witness Wang Pu's style.

At this time, Wang Pu didn't know that this was already the outer sea of ​​Songjiang Prefecture, and he didn't know that he led his alone army to the hinterland of Liaodong, destroyed the Jiannu's nest Shengjing and captured the slave chief Huang Taiji alive.

The literary style in the south of the Yangtze River was prosperous, and literati association became popular. For example, the Fushe initiated by Zhang Pu, a native of Taicang, Jiangsu, had thousands of members. They often held gatherings, discussed articles, chanted the wind and the moon, and even attacked the government. Deeds like Wang Pu's surprise attack on Shengjing naturally became the focus of discussion among these literati and poets.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Wang Pu's ship appeared outside the sea of ​​Songjiang Prefecture, from the high-ranking officials and honorary officials in Nanjing, to the peddlers and pawns in various prefectures, almost all the gentry and people in Jiangnan were talking about his deeds. Even when the brothel prostitutes gathered on the Qinhuai River, the focus of the discussion was Wang Pu, the general of Datong.

In short, Wang Pu had become a household name in various provinces in Jiangnan.

■■■

Huating.

Songjiang Prefect Qian Heng invited his uncle Qian Qianyi in the backyard of the government office.

Qian Qianyi is also a famous figure in Jiangnan. He is known as the leader of the talented man in Jiangnan. During the Tianqi period, he served as the Minister of Rites and was one of the leaders of the Donglin Party. Later, he failed with Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru and was dismissed from office. He has been idle for more than ten years. Although Qian Qianyi was fifty years old, he lingered in brothels and flowers all day long. The literati and poets in Jiangnan gave him a nickname called Fengliu.

In order to welcome the clan’s uncle Qian Qianyi, Songjiang Prefect Qian Heng specially invited several well-known talents from Songjiang Prefecture to accompany him, including Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi.

[Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi are both from Fushe. After the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, they devoted themselves to the great cause of anti-Qing, and committed suicide to their country one after another. Xia Yunyi also had a son named Xia Wanchun. His son inherited his father's business and continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty. As a result, he was killed by the Qing army at the age of seventeen. The poems left by Xia Wanchun are enough to be described as "shocking talent", and are no inferior to the three great masters of Jiangzuo.]

After drinking for three rounds, everyone naturally talked about the deeds of Wang Pu's nemesis going deep into Liaodong.

Chen Zilong said with emotion: "As a seven-foot man, you should follow General Wang Pu to promote the powerful troops to fight on the battlefield, attack Huanglong and make achievements for the court."

Xia Yunyi sighed: "Yes, now there are many dark stories in the imperial examinations, and fraud has become a trend. Those who are truly talented will not get fame and fortune. Instead, those who are speculative and thrilled to get the first place. It's really disappointing to think about it. It's better to join the army and go to the front line of western Liaoning to kill Jiannu."

Qian Heng disagreed and said, "You two really believe in the Tang Dynasty newspaper sent by the capital?"

Chen Zilong hurriedly asked, "What, is this matter fake?"

Qian Heng said confidently: "According to my official speculation, this matter is simply a matter of Ziwuxu. It was deliberately fabricated by the emperor and the court in order to boost the morale of the army and the people."

"This is absolutely impossible." Xia Yunyi retorted, "This is the Tang newspaper sent back to the capital by Governor Hong from Songshan. Could it be that Governor Hong dared to deceive the emperor?"

"Of course, General Hong dares not deceive the emperor." Qian Hengdao, "As far as I know, General Hong sent back to the capital, there was a sentence at the end of the Tangbao, 'This matter has not been finalized, please confirm it through Mongolia and North Korea's spy news'."

Chen Zilong said: "I have seen the Tang newspaper sent by the capital from Liudu with my own eyes, but there is no such sentence on it."

Qian Heng said: "So I dare to assert that this matter is purely fabricated, otherwise it would have been almost a month since the matter was gone. Why is there no news about Wang Pu, the general of Datong? Whether it is dead or alive, there must be some news."

"Master, sir, hurry..." As soon as Qian Heng finished speaking, his master suddenly ran in panting and said unhappily, "Hurry, go and welcome, welcome..."

Qian Heng frowned and said unhappy: "Didn't this official give orders? Don't you come and disturb me if you have nothing to do?"

The master took a sudden breath and said anxiously: "Sir, the navy of Jinshanwei came to report that they met General Wang in the sea outside Songjiang."

"General Wang?" Qian Heng said coldly, "Which General Wang?"

"Which other General Wang can there be?" the division stamped his feet and said, "Isn't General Wang Pu, who is still the one who is in Datong?"

"What, Da, Datong General King, Wang Pu?" Qian Heng's face changed drastically and he said anxiously, "He, he, he is in the sea outside Songjiang?"

The other Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong and others also changed their faces and stood up one after another. They just said that General Wang is here to Songjiang, but wasn’t General Wang trapped by Jiannu in Lianyun Island in Liaodong? Why did he run to the sea outside Songjiang?

The master gasped and said, "The navy officers and soldiers said that after General Wang destroyed Jiannu's nest, he turned to North Korea, and boarded the ship from Incheon Port in North Korea to sea. He wanted to return to Dengzhou but encountered a hurricane on the way. Three large ships capsized, and more than 800 soldiers were left, and only less than 300 were left. Then he deviated from his course and floated to Songjiang."

Qian Heng still refused to believe it and asked again: "Is it really Wang Pu, the general of Datong?"

"It's not wrong." The master said firmly, "The General's Seal has been tested, and the slave chief, prince and two concubines of Jiannu were all on the ship."

"Hurry, go and summon all the officials of the government and go with us to welcome them." Qian Heng raised his official robe and ran out. After a few steps, he said to the master, "By the way, go to Fatang first and immediately send the Tang report to Nanjing, and it said that the navy of Jinshan Guard of Songshan Prefecture had brought General Wang and his soldiers back from the sea."

Qian Heng is quite good at robbing credit. Wang Pu's people and ships were obviously floating in themselves, but after he said this, he sent a navy to take Wang Pu and the others back from North Korea.

"Yes, yes, yes." The master replied repeatedly, "The villain will do it now, and then go."

Qian Heng rubbed his hands and left the guests in the backyard to take care of themselves.
