Chongzhen Chat Group

When Ma San withdrew from the chat group with a smile, Scarface came in and reported: "Master Hong, we will be able to dock in one hour."

Hong Yunzheng was very happy when he heard this. He happened to see Ma San smiling and said, "Thank you so much. I wonder what official position you have and where you work?"

When Scarface heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, "We are just pirates, but Ma Sange insisted on making up some nonsense reason to save you, and bet the rest of his life on you."

But before he finished thinking, he heard Ma San reply with a bright smile: "We were forced to make a living under Xu Xiang. But just now, His Majesty has appointed me as the Imperial Guard Xiaoqi, and the assistant general Liu Guoneng I will serve as His Majesty’s eyes and ears.”

Others didn't believe what he said, but several high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty here believed it, and they couldn't help but look at Ma San with admiration. Hong Yunzheng even smiled and congratulated: "Jinyiwei Xiaoqi is appointed by His Majesty himself. Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Jinyiwei is already prominent, let alone one who has a name from the emperor. To put it bluntly, military commanders with no background, such as General Xia Zhiben and Zhang Yijie, were even sent to take such a big risk this time. In their hearts, they even envied Ma San at this time.

Ma San smiled and also congratulated Hong Yunzheng and said: "Your Majesty praised Mr. Hong for being brave and resourceful, and told Sun Zhongcheng that he should be reused. Sun Zhongcheng also agreed very much!"

As soon as these words came out, Kang Chengzu and others immediately envied Hong Yunzong. With this endorsement, Hong Yunzong will surely rise to great heights in the future. He really wanted to ask the emperor if he mentioned him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to ask. If I had known that there was a near miss, I should have behaved better!

After Ma San finished speaking, he looked at his brothers and said to them: "Your Majesty has a decree. You can go wherever you want, in the army or locally, it's your choice!"

After hearing this, Scarface and the others were a little disappointed that they could not become members of the Imperial Guard, but they also thought that since they were the emperor's personal army, anyone could enter. He also thought that he was a pirate with no future before, but now he could be mentioned by the emperor and could choose by himself. Suddenly, he was full of surprises.

Hong Yunzong was standing beside him, watching them looking at each other. He seemed a little hesitant and didn't know where to go, so he asked with a smile: "Would you like to stay with me?"

These people were a life-saving grace to him, so he was grateful and opened the door. Obviously, he would take care of them.

Scarface, Xiaoyoun and others looked at each other, their impressions of Hong Yunzong flashed through their hearts, and they no longer hesitated. They all knelt down to Hong Yunzong and expressed their willingness to follow Hong Yunzong.

Ma San looked at these and felt very pleased. He has obtained the official title of Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, and his brothers are following Mr. Hong who is destined to rise to great heights. They have a bright future. This time, he made the right bet!

They were all happy, but some people were just the opposite. It was a leaky house and it rained all night, and bad things happened one after another.

In the eastern sky, a winter sun rose. On the first morning of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Xu Xiang finally returned to his lair. When he saw that his entire gunpowder magazine had been blown up, and half of the entire cave had collapsed, including all the wealth he had stolen, he couldn't help but blush, and shouted to the sky: " What the hell is going on?"

The big and small bosses under him were all dumbfounded when they saw what was happening on the island. They originally thought that on New Year's Eve, under the leadership of Master Xu, they would give him a hard blow. In the end, not only did they go ashore and lose their troops, but they also returned home. After arriving on his own island, he found that the place was in a mess, and his strength was probably reduced by half. In other words, all the hard work last year was probably in vain.

Such a result is difficult for individuals to accept. What's more, Xu Xiang, who has been having smooth sailing recently, couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar: "Where are those dog officials, bring two of them over, I want to sacrifice to Mazu!"

"Master, those dog officials have escaped?"

When Xu Xiang heard this, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "What, ran away? How many of them ran away?"

"All the big bosses have run away. I suspect that those dog officials are doing good things!"

Xu Xiang's eyes widened with anger, and he slashed the leader who had stayed behind with one knife, and said frantically: "The family has become like this, and we don't know what happened. What use do I need from you!"

Then, while cleaning up the mess, Xu Xiang became depressed. This time, everything was clearly under control, but why did the result turn out like this? Why? He was puzzled!

In fact, if Emperor Chongzhen had not taken action, he might have succeeded. However, he could never have imagined this matter in his dreams, and therefore, why he failed has always been a mystery in his heart.

At the same time, there was another place that had just suffered a disaster like Xu Xiang's lair, but unlike the extremely depressed mood here, the people in the county, whether officials or civilians, all felt like they were reborn after the disaster. They felt extremely grateful to Liu Daneng's army for arriving in time to rescue them from the clutches of the pirates.

At this time, the county seat was all under the control of the army. There are officers and soldiers standing guard in various traffic arteries, streets and alleys, and at the top of the city. There are also groups of officers and soldiers with civilians patrolling everywhere, searching for pirates who may have slipped through the city.

The county magistrate and all the squires wanted to entertain Liu Daneng, but he declined. With his official duties in hand and his duty of eradicating evil behind him, he still has many things to be busy with. These local officials couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Liu Daneng's performance.

Before that, they were actually very indifferent to the northerners who came by air, especially Sun Chuanting's thunderous style. Liu Daneng was his number one minion. Searching for prisoners and apprehending important criminals were all business matters, and they were not inconvenienced by local officials. But now, after Sun Chuanting and Liu Daneng's style made them deeply feel the benefits, they felt that it was great to have such an army and such a governor!

After Sun Chuanting returned to the Governor's Mansion, before he had time to rest, he first received news from Liu Daneng's flying cavalry, and then saw Hong Yunzheng and others returning safely. He also met Ma San, the key figure who turned things around.

The next day, after summarizing the incident and gathering all the news, a major discovery emerged in front of Sun Chuanting. He couldn't help but think of what He Qiaoyuan had told him before. Pirates colluded with people on the shore. The greater the power of the pirates, the greater the power of the people who colluded with the pirates on the shore. So who could be colluding with Xu Xiang?

There will be more in the evening
