Seeing another stinky old man returning home, Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed. Feng Ruoshu is incomparable to others. This old guy has a lot of experience in officialdom and has a close relationship with the Donglin Party's gang of messing around.

With Feng Ruoshu's help, he should be able to gain a foothold in Guangdong soon. Now Chongzhen has hanged himself and his sons have died. It can be said that there is a smooth journey in front of Zhu Hongsan. As long as Zhu Hongsan returns to Guangdong to make money and expand his army.

The cavalry of the Qing Dynasty was very awesome, but while he was powerful, he also had a fatal disadvantage, which was that the population was too small, with less than 200,000 Eight Banners soldiers.

Although there are some Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Army Eight Banners, they can only fight some battles. Once the war is unfavorable, these Imperial Army run faster than their masters.

There are tens of millions of military and civilians in Guangdong Province, and musketeers are not as long as they train as cavalry. As long as they give themselves enough time and unlimited population resources of the Han people, Zhu Hongsan can train an army of 100,000.

This army equipped with modern weapons and restrained by modern military discipline will definitely defeat the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty like a destruction. The battle of Baliqiao in later generations has already shown this point.

Zhu Hongsan's trip to Beijing this time can be said to be successful. As long as he can run back to Guangdong alive, he can do so.

Feng Ruoshu asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

Zhu Hongsan pointed to the boat on the dock and said, "Get a few boats, let's go down the canal and go to Dongchang Prefecture first."

After Zhu Hongsan said that, he recruited Wang Jinbao and asked him to take someone to get the boat.

Tongzhou is an important point on the canal. There are many canal ships on the wharf, but most of them are filled with food. The situation is urgent now, and the boatmen on the wharf also know that the bandits have arrived in Beijing and most of them have fled.

There are only some private cargo ships left behind.

In order to facilitate inland transportation, ships on the canal are in a flat bottom and wide mouth style, and each ship can transport 700 to 800 stones of cargo.

After a while, Wang Jinbao got seven or eight ships, but they were all cargo ships. Zhu Hongsan was about to take people on the boat, and just saw a large ship parked at the outermost part of the pier. It was a passenger ship that was unusual on the canal.

The carved beams and painted pillars decorated by this ship are obvious at first glance. Zhu Hongsan looked like it was just right, and he brought the princess with him, and there was an old guy Feng Ruoshu.

This time I went to Nanjing for more than 2,000 miles, but the princess was nothing, but Old Man Feng was 67. If he died of trouble on the road, he would be completely over. This trip to Beijing would be imperfect.

Thinking of Zhu Hongsan leading his men to detour and come to the passenger ship.

Unexpectedly, I found out that the passenger ship was parked on a private pier, and there were two servants standing guard in front of the trestle.

When the two servants saw a group of people coming towards their boat, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and said, "Bold, do you know whose boat this is? I'll be dead?"

Zhu Hongsan saw that it was the ship of an official family. His eyes turned and said, "Your mother, Jun Ye is going to run away, who cares about you." After that, he went up and gave a servant two big mouths.

The beaten servant saw that there were many people on the other side, and he did not dare to resist and shouted: "We are servants of Grand Secretary Chen Yan. The third lady of my family is on the boat. Are you not afraid of beheading?"

When Zhu Hongsan heard this, he cursed: "Who do I think? It turned out to be from Chen Yan's family."

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and kicked a servant's leg and said, "Go to your mother, do you know who I am? I am from Pingxi Bo Mansion. Now my general has fallen in love with you three ladies and wants her to be a concubine of the sixteenth house."

After Zhu Hongsan said that, he dared to leave two servants and got on the boat.

Zhu Hongsan entered the boat warehouse and pushed open a door. When he saw three people hugging each other, he was trembling.

One is a middle-aged woman, who looks like an old woman, and the other is a maid based on her contemplation. The last one is Miss Chen's third child.

Zhu Hongsan pinched Miss San's chin and looked at it, saying, "It's average, it's not as good as my wife." In fact, Miss Chen San is still good. Her curved and slender eyebrows and an oval face are very consistent with the aesthetic views of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Hongsan curled his lips and thought to himself: "Give her to Old Man Feng, so that no one can stand in Guangdong without any help."

Thinking of this, he said to Wang Jinbao: "Let Mr. Feng come to this boat and bring the princess too. Then he notified everyone to get on the boat and we must leave quickly."

Wang Jinbao went down to arrange for the soldiers to board the boat, and the horses could be brought, and the animals that could not be taken were released.

Zhu Hongsan stood on the boat and saw that all the soldiers were on the boat. Feng Ruoshu also came to his bow. Zhu Hongsan walked down the springboard and said, "Sir, let's make this boat, and a small gift has been prepared for the sir."

Feng Ruoshu was stunned. There were gifts? Zhu Hongsan didn't bring any gifts when he came just now.

Zhu Hongsan led Feng Ruoshu to the third lady's room. Zhu Hongsan said, "This trip is three thousand miles away. The mistress is afraid that the husband will be exhausted on the journey, so she specially found someone to serve his husband's daily life."

When Feng Ruoshu saw that the woman in the room was very beautiful and was not dressed like an ordinary person. She looked like a lady from an official family.

Feng Ruoshu asked, "Son-in-law, where did this come from?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "I heard that he was Chen Yan's third daughter, or a legitimate daughter. It happened that my aunt died for many years and was used as a house for my uncle."

Chen Yan was the chief assistant of Chongzhen and is now the second assistant of the cabinet. In terms of status, he has a much higher status than Feng Ruoshu.

Feng Ruoshu's face changed and he said, "Isn't this good?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, Chen Yan is not going south now and will be a traitor in the future, and uncle will be the chief assistant in the future. So what else can Chen Yan dare to do in the future? Maybe he will ask his uncle to come here."

Feng Ruoshu thought this was the case, and when he saw that the third lady was beautiful and beautiful, she was much better than her newly-accepted concubine. She gave up and agreed halfway.

Zhu Hongsan smiled on the surface and cursed in his heart: "These stinky old men are troublesome." He said, "The son-in-law won't disturb my uncle's rest." After that, he closed the door and came out.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan and his nine boats had already started, and the boatmen were almost running. Wang Jinbao finally caught more than 20 boatmen, but he couldn't leave two boatmen to guide his work on each boat. The guards and soldiers took action together to let the whole ship drive out of the dock.

Zhu Hongsan looked at it and thought: "This is too slow. Let's walk forward and find a place to get the boatman together."

It was already dark at this time, and you could see the fire in Beijing when standing on the bow of the ship. It should be that the fire in the granary of Chaoyangmen had not yet been put out.

After the ship left the dock, the boatman lit lanterns on the mast, lowered the sails, and officially began walking on the canal.

Zhu Hongsan stood at the bow of the boat and blew the wind on the canal. He thought that he would go to Tianjin next. Tianjin was not safe either. It was only 400 miles away from Beijing. It seemed that only by entering Shandong could it be safe.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan saw that the lights in Miss San’s room were turned off and cursed in his heart: “Old Man Feng is not ashamed, can’t you wait for a while?”

Zhu Hongsan thought that he had a little beauty, Zhu Mai, was waiting for him to harm him, and felt very excited. No matter what the next step was, he immediately walked into the cabin and came to Zhu Mai's door.

Zhu Mei was not asleep at this time. After all, she experienced more things on this day than she had experienced in her life. Thinking of her parents' death and her brothers' life and death, Zhu Mei was unable to help but sit on the bed and shed tears secretly.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan opened the door and came in. Zhu Ma saw that it was Zhu Hongsan coming in, stood up and said, "It's too late, but it's not resting?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "I'll see how the princess's leg injury is, and there's also a need to change her clothes on her arms."

Zhu Mai Feng blushed when she heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and said, "Thank you for your concern, your leg injury is not a problem."

"What if it doesn't get in the way? How can I take advantage of you?" Zhu Hongsan thought to himself, but said, "The princess doesn't know that if she doesn't change her medicine frequently, she will leave scars and it's ugly."

This sentence is more difficult to accept than to saw off the legs. Zhu asked, "Can you really leave scars?"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Of course, I am a soldier naturally knows. Now if I don't change the dressing, there will be large red and black scars on my skin."

Zhu Meiyu pondered for a long time, gritted her teeth and said, "Then please change the medicine for me."

Zhu Hongsan said, "Princess, don't force me, I'm sorry, you can't change it." After that, Zhu Hongsan made a move to open the door and go out.

Zhu Ma said anxiously: "Don't, the general is back."
