Chongzhen Undergraduates

In this way, everyone carefully walked the most dangerous channel of the Yangtze River under the surveillance of several large ships.During the two days and one night, the old man Fu didn't close his eyes, and the little tracker became a little helper before and after running.

That night, the boat passed Tiaoshi Beach and stopped at a bank under a steep mountain, and old man Fu was guarding the bow of the boat in a coir raincoat.

"What kind of mountain is that?" Zhu Youjian felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. There are too many pictures of the Three Gorges scenery in later generations.

"My lord, that's Goddess Peak. According to legend, Yaoji, the goddess of Wushan, lives here." Old man Fu has already changed his name to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian glanced outside, and there were cliffs on both sides of the bank, only a gray-blue cloth ribbon was the sky.The goddess is reflected in the night, but she has lost the mysterious beauty of a fairy, and is more like the evil spirit of the Temple of Yama.

Li Bai's description is correct, there are indeed apes crying on both sides of the strait, but it sounds cautious.Several eagles continued to hover between the cliffs in the night, sometimes rushing to the sky, and sometimes circling low.Zhu Youjian could even hear the howling of tigers in the distance, which was so low and terrifying.

Xiao Qu huddled beside old man Fu in fear, but he stubbornly didn't want to hide in the adult's arms.

"Father Fu, come and drink a bowl of wine to keep you warm." Zhu Youjian walked out of the cabin, and walked to Old Man Fu with a jug of wine.

"My lord, this is not a good thing. My life is worthless, old man, so it's not worth wasting this good wine." The old man Fu had a sharp nose, and he could smell the aroma of the wine just after opening the wine jar.

"You know wine?" Zhu Youjian was surprised.

"Where do the rough people who run the dock know what kind of wine? It's good to have a sip of rough mixed fruit wine, but this wine is made from grain, and the old man can still smell it. Grain is the most expensive these days , How can ordinary people be willing to use it to make wine?"

Pure grain wine has a fragrance, which is not gone.Zhu Youjian felt ashamed when he heard the old man's words. It was a bit extravagant in this environment and with this kind of wine.

"I only drink Changsha water, and I eat Wuchang fish. I crossed the Yangtze River thousands of miles away, and I can see Chu Tianshu... I even erected a stone wall on the West River, cut off the clouds and rain in Wushan Mountain, and came out of Pinghu Lake from the high gorge. The goddess should be safe, and the world will be shocked."

After Zhu Youjian finished reading this poem, he raised his head and drank a large bowl of wine in one breath, then shouted at old man Fu: "It's done!"

The rich old man picked up the wine bowl with both hands and gulped it down with his head up. At the end, some tears flowed down his face.

The little tracker raised his head and asked, "What did you just read?"

"Son, daddy can't read, but I'm happy to hear it. I'm afraid we will have a better life."

After drinking a large bowl of wine, old man Fu felt warmer, the bow of the boat seemed to be no longer so cold, and he also wore a thick cotton coat. He had never encountered this kind of treatment several times in his life.

Chapter 297: The Three Brothers of the Tan Family

Although the brothers of the Tan family are known as the general soldiers, in fact, they don't have many people at all. There are as many as 3000 people under their command.

A small independent warlord with 3000 people is more than enough to guard a county, but it is a bit big to stabilize a state capital.But the brothers of the Tan family were lucky, they hid in the Three Gorges in troubled times, and there was no one to make things difficult for them for the time being, and being a local emperor was very rewarding.

Of course, Zhu Youjian will not let them keep nourishing. If they are nourished, the court and the people will suffer.

When the boat arrived at Xinling Ancient Town (Badong ruled in Xinling Town before), Zhu Youjian didn't let the boat go to the south bank, but went straight to Jiangbei.

Just kidding, if he was leaning against the south bank, how would Dang Shousu look for him when he came over.Since the Tan family's subordinates have taken him here, his brothers must have got the news, and met a small general soldier. Does he need to accommodate?At least he's free now.

The boat arrived in the afternoon, and from a distance, Zhu Youjian could see the flags flying on the wharf in Xinling Town, the gongs and drums were blaring, and it was a lively scene.

In the eyes of a large group of people, the boat approached Jiangbei, and the brothers of the Tan family were furious.

"My lords, my commander-in-chief invites you to meet across the river." Now Zhu Youjian finally knew that the surname of the person in charge was Zhang, and his name was Zhang Qianfeng.

"Go and tell them that I'm staying here today, let them come and see me." Zhu Youjian ignored Zhang Qianfeng and put on airs.

"This..." Zhang Qianfeng hesitated. Before Zhu Youjian went ashore, he didn't dare to challenge Zhu Youjian's bottom line too much.

"Huh?" Zhu Youjian glared at Zhang Qianfeng. The status of the emperor is still not something that ordinary people can despise.

Zhang Qianfeng didn't dare to let Zhu Youjian out of his sight, so he had to send someone across the river to spread the word, and he took several boats to surround Zhu Youjian's boat back and forth, for fear that they would run away.

In fact, the Tan brothers are self-appointed as the chief soldiers. Among the three brothers, Tan Wen's official rank is General, and the second Tan Hong and the third Tan Yi are guerrilla generals.

Their defensive area should be Dazhou, but the three brothers took the opportunity to suppress the peasant uprising, and were invited to Badong by the county magistrate Wang Xueshi and stayed there.

Tan Wen wants to grow and develop with peace of mind in this generation, but his two younger brothers have big ambitions.During the period, he planned to sneak attack on Shizhu, but was stopped by Tan Wen.Fortunately they didn't go to become a stone pillar, otherwise they would have been killed by Deng Zhirong last year.

The brothers of the Tan family, who were suffering from too slow development, never expected that a big pie fell from the sky, and the emperor of Ming came to Kuizhou.

"Brother, there is news from the other side that our brothers are going to visit them." Tan Hong just ran to the pier and hurriedly found Tan Wen, a little out of breath.

"Second brother, don't worry, we haven't met him yet, so we can't tell if he is the emperor." Tan Wen is old and cautious.

"I don't think it's far from ten. Only the emperor can make such a big statement. It's already a cooked duck. Are you afraid that he will fly away?" the third child Tan Yi said fiercely.

"Brother, shall we cross the river?"

"Of course we're going. Both of you get ready, we'll go there right away. Remember to bring more people." Tan Wen glanced at the other side, and there was only one boat, and dozens of people died.

Ever since, the Tan family brothers revealed all their strength, dispatched a dozen or so naval warships, and began to cross the river in a mighty manner.

Ordinarily, the civil servant Wang Xueshi, the magistrate of Badong County, should have led the team to welcome Sheng Jia, but it is a pity that the brothers of the Tan family could not give him this opportunity.

Ji Biao glanced at it, and said contemptuously: "Only these boats can be used for fishing in Nanjing, without even a gun."

"That's not bad. Would you like to see enemies with cannons?" Zhu Youjian smiled.

"That's impossible. It's better if the enemy doesn't even have a bow and arrow. I like to shoot the enemy with a single sword." Ji Biao quickly shook his head. He is not stupid. Naturally, the weaker the enemy, the better.

"Put away your single knives later, don't scare people." Zhu Youjian took a look, and the most conspicuous thing here is the knives.

"Hurry up, put away all the guys in your hands." Ji Biao was happy, and hurriedly ordered to go.

The brothers of the Tan family stood on the boat and watched from a distance, and found that the emperor's boat had no weapons, and the guards standing on the boat didn't even hold a knife, so they were relieved.

"My humble minister Tan Wen, kowtow to the emperor!" Tan Wen got on Zhu Youjian's boat, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous directly. After all, his official position was too small, and he seemed a little flustered under psychological influence.

"Thank you Aiqing, come in." Zhu Youjian opened the cabin door and was sitting in the cabin, as if there were only two guards beside him.

And Tan Wenchao looked around, and found that the guards standing on the deck of the ship were all facing outwards, and they seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to him.He looked around again, and found that the warships driven by his subordinates had surrounded the emperor's ship to death.

Tan Wen gave his third brother Tan Yi a wink, and then worriedly took his second brother to prepare to enter Zhu Youjian's cabin.

Tan Wen's idea was very simple, he would not dare to go in alone, so he took his second child and a few of his subordinates with him to be prepared.The third child was outside, just in case he and the second child were passive inside, so that the third child could just kill them with his hands and the boat.

Zhu Youjian looked at Tan Wen quietly, he estimated the distance between the three, and he had nothing to worry about.Ji Biao stood beside Zhu Youjian with his hands behind his back, but the fingers behind his back had already begun to make gesture commands.

The strange thing about this ship is that the upper cabin is two feet higher than the deck, and the emperor sat in the upper cabin and drank tea.

When Tan Wen took Tan Hong up the wooden ladder, the audience was very quiet, only the river wind was blowing the flags on the boat and rattling.

"Weichen Tan Wen, Tan Hong, pay homage to the emperor!" Tan Wen had already walked up to Zhu Youjian, and he had confirmed that the person who came was indeed the same as the head on the silver coin.

"The two lovers have worked hard and made great achievements. It is not easy to guard the waterway of the gorge for me. I plan to promote you to the rank of deputy commander-in-chief. I wonder if the two lovers are willing?" Zhu Youjian stared at Tan Wen's face after finishing speaking Eye.

Tan Wen's heart skipped a beat, this is Hong Guoguo's slap in the face.He proclaimed himself the chief soldier, but the emperor made himself the deputy chief soldier.What else is there to talk about.

"Your Majesty, I'm already the chief soldier, don't you know?" Tan Wen's face was gloomy.
