Chapter 705 Liu Liangzuo blocks the way
"I asked you to negotiate with Lu Gongchen. Why did you invite Lu Gongchen?" Li Guodong was a little amused when he saw Sun Heding and the others kidnapped Lu Zhenfei.
Lu Zhenfei flew to the riverside and saw the fleet covered with rivers and was shocked. Many of them were large warships, forming such a powerful navy. How powerful is Wu Weibo? He carefully looked at the warship under his feet. This was a very large warship with multiple decks up and down. After descending from the light deck at the top, he walked into the gun deck and saw that the gun deck was spacious and bright, with cannons placed on both sides, and there were hanging shops between the gun decks and gun decks. After passing through the gun deck, there was a large restaurant behind it. Then he went there, and there was the captain's room where Li Guodong lived.
"What a big ship, how much money does this ship cost?" Lu Zhenfei didn't know that Zheng Zhilong is the richest businessman in the world now, and Li Guodong is the second richest businessman.
"Director Lu, I have offended you so much. I hope the Supervisor will not be concerned about it. Li just asked them to negotiate with you, but he didn't expect to invite you." Li Guodong invited Lu Zhenfei to sit in his captain's room.
Lu Zhenfei sat down, not afraid at all that this was Li Guodong's territory. His eyes shone brightly and he stared at Li Guodong, as if he wanted to see his inner thoughts: "Wuweibo, the court is suspicious of you because you secretly colluded with the thieves, not groundless. If you want to go to Beijing to serve the king, who knows whether you are rebelling and cooperating with the thieves' army, or really going to Beijing to serve the king?"
"Governor Lu, Li has always been loyal to the court, how could he rebel? If he really wanted to rebel, Li now has a wealthy land in Huguang, so he could have raised the flag long ago. Why did he go to Beijing to serve the king? As for Lu, what you said about collusion with the bandits, you can ask me the generals and generals of the Ming Dynasty to see which of them did not support the bandits? Besides, Zuo Liangyu had long been unjust. If Zuo Liangyu had not resisted the order, Sun would not have defeated Tongguan this time."
Lu Zhenfei pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "I will believe you once. I will order the lock to be opened in the name of being kidnapped by you and let you enter the canal. If you have any bad intentions, I will definitely cut off your food route! Let you go but never return!"
Then Li Guodong made a good move. The two men, Ye Bubu put their knife around Lu Zhenfei's neck, took him out of the cabin, and walked to the vicinity of the Guazhou ship lock.
"Open the lock quickly. Wuweibo's army is going north to fight against the thieves, so they must not be stopped!" Lu Zhenfei shouted in his voice.
The canal transport soldiers looked at each other and didn't know what to do. At this time, Lu Zhenfei's voice increased a little: "Hurry up and open the lock, who dares to stop it? I will go back and chop his head!"
"Hurry up, Governor Lu is calling out, open the lock!" An officer stood up and shouted that the soldiers would open the lock.
Li Guodong's army went north through the Guazhou ship lock. However, only half of the navy ships passed the ship lock, and the other half remained in the Yangtze River because their tonnage was too large. Although they could be navigated in the Huaiyang section of the canal, they could not enter the Shandong Canal. The flagship Li Guodong rode on the canal was a 200-four inland cannon with two layers of cabins. The deck was equipped with a 32-pound skyscraper and two six-pound iron cannons, and also equipped with eight 100-pound Folang machine and twelve turtle dove-foot guns.
After the Jinyang army entered the canal, what happened next was indeed as Li Guodong expected. Except for Huang Degong, who listened to Lu Zhenfei's advice, did not make things difficult for Li Guodong, the other two towns were ready to intercept Li Guodong.
The fleet passed Yangzhou and headed north. The fleet passed through Gaoyou Lake and passed through Baoying territory. The river surface here was narrower, unlike the spacious river surface south of Gaoyou Lake. Li Guodong ordered to strengthen his vigilance. All the nights were not collected and the newly established Fubowei, who was affiliated with the navy, were scattered out.
"Why did the fleet stop moving forward?" Li Guodong stopped moving forward when he saw the fleet sailing past Yangzhou City and immediately stood up and asked.
"Brother, someone is blocking our fleet, and the canal in front is blocked." One person who did not take back his body to report at night.
"Who is stopping our army?" Li Guodong asked.
"Brother back, it was Liu Liangzuo who blocked our army. The thief said proudly that he came from Luzhou to attack the thief and dealt with us."
"Brothers, let's get off the boat and meet these dog thieves!" Li Guodong looked angry and slapped the table.
All the rivers in front were blocked, and the river surface was densely filled with ships. When I didn't accept it at night, I reported that the bottom of the river was sunk into the stone-filled ships, and I couldn't get through the front at all.
On the official road on the right side of the canal, an army blocked the way between the Jinyang Army and the Huai Army. The flag of that army was Liu Liangzuo's army.
Li Guodong sent someone to go to the front and shouted: "I am the Wuweibo army. I will go north to eliminate the bandits and protect the safety of the capital!"
When Liu Liangzuo heard the call, he immediately asked someone to reply: "Bold rebel! Are you going to rebel? The court has issued an order to invite me! Those who know the current affairs should go back as soon as possible! It is not difficult for us!"
Li Guodong called again: "The situation in the north is fragile, and the thieves have occupied Shanxi, and they are aimed at the capital! If the suppression of the thieves is delayed, the capital will be in trouble, and you will be unable to protect your head!"
"Don't speak a little sweet talk! You said that you are holding a thief on your back, but it's a ill-intention. If you go north, you may collude with the bandits, intend to attack the capital and plot against the ruthless king!"
"We are waiting to go north to suppress the thieves, and make a way out quickly!"
Liu Liangzuo stood up and shouted to the opposite side: "Liu is here to intercept you and others! The imperial edict is here! Li Laoer, do you keep saying that you will go north to suppress the thieves? If there is no imperial edict, it is a rebellion!"
Li Guodong did not have the imperial edict to dispatch troops north. He sent troops north privately. To be serious, anyone could say that he had ill-behaved and intended to rebel. Liu Liangzuo said that he was blocked by the order, and he had the imperial edict in his hand. Morally, Liu Liangzuo was on the right side.
However, since Li Guodong had privately transferred troops north, he did not need imperial edicts and relied entirely on his strength to break through.
Seeing that Liu Liangzuo refused to give way, Li Guodong yelled: "The situation in the north is corrupt, and the capital is in danger. Liangzuo's son in front of him refused to give in. Men, let's kill him today!"
Anyway, Li Guodong also knew that Liu Liangzuo was not a good thing. In real history, Liu Liangzuo relied on his merit of supporting King Fu ascending the throne and was domineering and fought with Gao Jie for Yangzhou. After failing, he led his army to plunder Huaian, Linhuai and other places. Later, Shi Kefa went north to mediate, and Liu Liangzuo said that he obeyed the orders of the court. However, as soon as the Qing army arrived, he surrendered.
Liu Liangzuo has an army of 100,000. If Li Guodong forcibly breaks out, he will probably suffer losses.
"Brother, you are still two hundred steps away from Liu Liangzuo. Can you hit a shot with one shot?" Li Guodong asked, pulling a scattered soldier in a green military uniform.
These green uniforms equipped with rifled rifles were only 152 in Li Guodong's entire army. These people were carefully selected magic gunmen and equipped with Danish pre-built flintlock rifles bought by Li Guodong at a high price.
Two hundred steps are equivalent to three hundred meters. Although such a distance is within the range of the inline rifle, it is not easy to hit a target three hundred meters away with a rifle without a scope. The scattered soldier shook his head: "There is not a big grasp of the hit."
Li Guodong gathered all the scattered soldiers together: "Everyone, wait for my order later, and you will aim at the guy under the banner of the opponent's Central Army! That guy is Liu Liangzuo. If this person can be killed, the enemy will naturally be defeated."
"No!" the straitors replied loudly.
Li Guodong pulled out his sword, pointed forward, and ordered: "Brothers, line up!"
