380 Settle Down

The "bang bang" sound of cannons in the main volume of Lu Ming rescued the travelers from the onlookers of the Melon Eating Party. The fast fleet dragging the pirate ship was unable to move and was prone to accidents when viewed. Therefore, when the fleet commander Wang Bo found that the situation was not good, he quickly ordered the empty cannon to drive people away.

The empty cannon was very effective. Anyway, the madam didn't know that the iron ball was not stuffed into the cannon chamber, so the melon-eating crowd screamed in the thick smoke and loud noise and retreated in all directions, leaving the waterway.

Because the old-fashioned marina is very low in parking efficiency and the pirate ships that have inlet water have dragged it down, the fleet spent a lot of time entering the site until the sunset, and it was not considered to be properly placed in the dock area.

During this process, Guangzhou City was not idle either.

The first person to react was He Rubin. Although the Guangdong General was founded in Chaozhou, there was also a Guangdong Dusi Yamen in Guangzhou. He Rubin was one of the planners behind the incident of the visiting military aid, and was also a military counterpart who nominally issued an invitation, so he has been in Guangzhou City recently. After receiving the letter, Old He immediately called his personal military generals, crossed his horse and left the city, and headed straight for Baietan.

The flagship observed a team of horses rolling in the distance from afar. So before the rest of the ships entered the port, General Cao, who was specifically responsible for role-playing, and Sha Zhengming, who was famous for his big bald head and the "monk general" who was famous in Fujian and Guangdong, had already worn the Ming Dynasty official uniforms, and took a group of guards wearing big red fat jackets, walked down from the board and stood at the entrance of the pier to welcome the guests.

He hurriedly got off the horse, and He Rubin stepped forward a few steps forward, raised his head and smiled and grabbed Zhang Dongdong's hand. "Hahaha, let alone help from thousands of miles away, this ability to seek etiquette in front of the door is also very clever! It's really better to see him at first sight. Brother Cao is a famous general of the dynasty!"

Although it was the first time the two sides met, He Rubin did not look like he was seeing each other at the moment. He grabbed someone's hand and said a few nice words intimately.

Since Zhang Dongdong traveled through time, he has been mingling with the Ming Dynasty officials for most of the time, so he has become familiar with the current scene. "He Zhen killed the last general. Today's affairs depend on He Zhen's reputation. How dare the last general take credit?"

"Otherwise." He Rubin's expression became a little solemn. "The strong ships and powerful guns are not enough to hold on, and a strong soldier must assist him to accomplish things. I have also led the troops and know all the difficulties. When this general says, I can afford it!"

He Rubin was appointed as the guerrilla general of Jining, Shandong as early as the late Jiajing year of Jiajing. Later, he was promoted to Ning Shao's general and moved to Zhoushan. Later, he was later promoted to Zhoushan general and Ning Shao's deputy general. He was not transferred to Guangdong general until last year.

He Rubin was not a good deal of soybeans. At that time, the Japanese pirates at the sea were arrogant. During his tenure, he trained sailors and eliminated Japanese pirates. He was a front-line general who had truly fought naval and land wars.

It is precisely because of his actual experience in leading troops that Lao He praised Mr. Cao today. Lao He, who knows the current decline of officers and soldiers, knows how difficult it is to easily defeat a group of pirates. There is actually not much praising in the middle.

After feeling Lao He's kindness, Comrade Zhang Dongdong was naturally full of enthusiasm and kept pushing the credit to Lao He as the general of Guangdong. He was the nominal general of the province's sea and land battles, and he had his final credit.

After a few greetings, Zhang Dongdong introduced the gang general Sha Zhengming to Lao He, so several generals happily set up the dragon gate formation on the dock.

There is a reason for setting up the dragon gate formation because you have to wait for the civil servant to arrive.

Military generals ride horses, civil officials sit in sedan chairs, and literati and men usually have to be slow to appear. Even if a powerful guest army arrives in such a major event, the main halls of one prefecture and two counties in Guangzhou City still slowly come in a sedan chair.

After several masters got out of sedan chairs one after another, they had another round of polite greetings. In the middle, the county magistrates of Nanhai and Panyu counties were too low and they would not talk about him. Instead, the governor of Guangzhou Hong Yunzheng was considered a person who was more influenced by the time travelers.

Hong Yunzheng was a Jinshi in the Gengxu cadet in Wanli. In history, after he served as Guangzhou Prefecture, he later served as the Huizhou Prefecture Division in the seventh year of Chongzhen. In the second year of his tenure, under the order of Xiong Wencan, this lord went to recruit Liu Xiang with several other officials, but was put under house arrest by Liu Xiang.

After more than a year of house arrest, Liu Xiang finally ended his journey and was surrounded by Zheng Zhilong's army. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Liu Xiang ran to Hong Yunzheng to express his willingness to surrender to the court, Hong Yunzheng immediately became angry and cursed. Liu Xiang was so angry that he killed Hong Yunzheng on the boat, and soon after he committed suicide.

Therefore, the time travelers are actually the life-saving benefactor of the prefect Hong in front of him. However, this is the sadness of the time travelers. To be honest, no one believes it.

Although General Cao was a third-rank military officer, and although he was bringing troops and horses to help the boxing, for the civil servant circle in Guangzhou, the prefect who came from the third-rank to pay more than 200,000 stones of grain was the Supreme Court, and the prefect who came from the third-rank to greet him was already a great face.

Fortunately, General Cao acted respectfully, was polite, and was funny, not like the usual Qiu Ba, so the first impression of General Cao was pretty good.

Since everyone has arrived, it is time to do something about a group of civil and military officials first boarded the trophy pirate ship.

The corpses and yamen runners on the pirate ship are now very busy. The corpses and parts of the pirates are being packed out one by one, and then cut off their heads for adults to see. The civil servants of this era are very fierce. Whenever the battle is over, the civil servants must be responsible for checking the heads and recording merits for the military officers.

So several civil servants stood on the deck full of plasma from the big bird boat at this time, chatting and laughing with the two generals, while checking the head point.

Next, there was an additional program. The yamen runners holding hooks and stick ropes surrounded the sealed hatch, then opened the cabin and grabbed the pirates who were still alive soaked in the water one by one. First, they beat the sticks and then tied them up in a lot of ways.

At this time, General Cao stood up in time and allocated the spoils he brought to him. All the heads were dealt with by the General. These heads were enough to recommend a confidant to be promoted.

The remaining pirates can be taken by the prefect for a few days. After cutting off their heads, they hung them at the city gate for public display. This is an explanation to the officials and gentry in the city who suffer from pirates, and it is also a political achievement.

As for these ships, they were given to the two counties' government offices, and it would be a sum of money if sold.

General Cao's tact and generousness made several civil and military officials look at each other with admiration. So after giving in a little humbleness, several pirate ships and their original owners were inadvertently shared.

After that, a group of civil servants, whose atmosphere became more harmonious, said goodbye and had done enough to leave the scenes and articles, and the benefits were already included. Just leave the subordinates here for socializing.

As for General He, he still had to stay and the warships were not visited.

He Rubin, a Confucian general in history, was rigorous in military administration and proficient in military affairs. He not only compiled the "Zhoushan Zhi", but also wrote the book "Soldier Record". This book covers fourteen volumes of military aspects such as "On Generals", "Selecting Scholars", "Equipment of Army", and "Instruments", and important documents on military logistics in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the book was eventually listed as the Siku Ban series by Qianlong - the Tartars were never ruthless when castrated the Han people.

In He Rubin's "Soldier Record", there are not only descriptions of all warship models in the Ming Dynasty, but also descriptions of various artillery and ordnances. Therefore, for this research scholar, visiting the unique sailing ships of the enemy army and the above equipment is an indispensable project.

The results of the visit did not disappoint General He. The exquisite artillery system opened his eyes.

However, that's it. When the technological gap widened to a certain extent, even if it was opened, the ancients could not understand it. He Rubin knew nothing about the most critical communication system on the ship and did not go to the bottom cabin to visit the gas engine. For him, those exquisite machine guns and slender and fast ship types were the biggest gains.

"There are still something to be praised for in this foreign skilled craftsman." After hearing that these artillery mechanisms on the ship were all from the hands of some unknown craftsmen in the far "East Region", He Rubin was also moved.

What else could Zhang Dongdong say at this time? He had to deal with Lord He by haha.

After all the official social engagements were completed, it was already a summer night when the moon was on the treetops. At this moment, the breeze was blowing on the Baie Pond, and the waves were calm. The lights were brightly lit in the pleasure boats gathered around them, and the sound of worries of silk and bamboo was endless. It was a scene of Chengping that was drunk and dreaming.

The fast fleet that came from afar naturally did not dare to be careless at this time. Whether on the dock or on the water surface around the fleet, there were enough patrols and lookout posts with night vision devices.

After a hurry, the fleet began to take a formal rest the next day.

First of all, there are houses. In theory, there are barracks and schoolyards in and outside the city of Guangzhou, but the travelers do not intend to live in dilapidated houses - any public property of the government can be known by using his heels.

So the Tiandao Temple beside Baietan was requisitioned by Qiu Ba.

Tiandao Temple is a famous historical temple. It was found in the Tang Dynasty and covers a wide area. Because it provides various superstitious rituals and psychological counseling services to the sisters in the pleasure boat all year round, the bald donkeys in Tiandao Temple are very rich, and the internal monument is decorated very finely, just for the soldiers to make dormitories.

The abbot, who claimed to have infinite magic power, could only express his acceptance of the defeat under the bayonet and the government's default. However, the abbot immediately became depressed and was generous in traveling through time. Not only did he give half a day to transfer the treasure hidden in the Buddha's belly, but he also gave him a seven-treasure glass Buddha lamp as a monthly rent. The old man was so happy.

While the house was being named here, General Cao had already entered Guangzhou City in a carriage with guards and Marlboro series of gifts. Zhang Dongdong needed to contact all the bigwigs below the governor and make an assessment report afterwards.
