823 Inexplicable

"Go!" The shouts sounded one after another, and a group of cavalry rushed past the official road, completely ignoring the cold wind of winter. Behind these cavalry were teams of soldiers, which had become a long snake and were running. This formation made the few passers-by on both sides of the official road avoid the movements, and suspected the movements of the official army with a little fear.

"The banner is Liu, and they all look tall and big. They should be the Liu Shen General from the north, right?"

"Yes, it must be him. What's the matter for such a hurry? Is there another pirate going ashore?"

"It's impossible. On New Year's Eve, Xu Xiang's pirates were killed and defeated by him. How could he dare to go ashore in such a short time? Those pirates can only be rampant in the sea!"

"It's not a matter between the Red and the Wild? I heard that the Red and the Wild are in Taiping Port! Isn't this direction just to go to Taiping Port!"

"Those red-haired ghosts and those pirates have the same virtue. It's better to kill them all!"

“…”

The Dutch story has spread, and even passers-by can guess one or two.

That's right, this army was Liu Guoneng's troops who rushed to Taiping Port on the order of Sun Chuanting. As soon as they entered Changle County, they encountered a messenger sent by the Changle Guard.

"Reported that the Red Barbarians attempted to drive grain ships out of Taiping Port, and the warships also had abnormal movements. Taiping Port lacks military strength, so please support!"

When Liu Guoneng heard this, he immediately shouted: "These red barbarians have turned against the sky, they dare!"

After saying that, he immediately waved his hand and the cavalry started running again, and ran faster and faster, leaving the infantry behind and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

At the dock fortress of Taiping Port, all the artillery pieces were taken off their clothes, and all the artillery soldiers were in place. There were soldiers standing on the shore, with serious faces staring at the ships not far from the sea. Some people even had a hint of worry on their faces.

The warships on the sea also faced their bows, with their muzzles open, revealing a cannon. There were not many people on the deck, and a few were also watching the shore nervously.

The port pier was leaning against three large sea boats, full of food. However, the ship was filled with Ming soldiers and a few red barbarians, who seemed to be arguing something, but looking at their appearance, it seemed that no one convinced anyone.

There are almost no other people or other ships in the entire Taiping Port. This is not the case in normal times. It is obvious that they all hide when they see the atmosphere is tense.

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came from far and near, finally breaking the tension at the port. Seeing a team of Ming cavalry coming under the guidance of the "Liu" banner, it was known that the general Liu Guoneng had arrived.

A military general immediately emerged from a house on the shore, hurriedly greeted him with several Qingsui, saluted and reported to the current situation: "Sir, these red barbarians didn't know what medicine they took, but they actually used their gunships to threaten us, and wanted to withdraw the grain ships as well..."

Liu Daneng sat on the horse, condescendingly, first looked up at the warships on the sea, breathing evenly, and then lowered his head and asked, "Where are their heads, can there be any explanation?"

"I didn't come over on the military ship, saying that I wanted to see Lord Zhongcheng, and asked for an explanation, that we are treacherous and unreliable! I also said that they believed in our Ming Dynasty, and had worked hard to transport food from Nanyang, but they had to be ill-intentioned at them... Anyway, their intentions were as if they were saying that our Ming Dynasty wanted to destroy them, so they were like this." The Changle guard reported angrily, "The generals saw that they had ill-intentioned intentions, but they did not obey the orders and drove the military ship in. Please see, their muzzles were all open, and the generals estimated that they did not change their nature and thought of going ashore to rob them!"

Liu Guoneng was surrounded by the newly arrived Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Ma San. When he saw this situation, he felt that the situation was a bit serious, so he entered the chat group according to the regulations he learned when he officially joined the job and privately chatted with the situation to the Governor Sun Zhongcheng.

However, at this time, Sun Chuanting was not in the chat group, and his authority was not enough to let the system directly notify Sun Chuanting who was offline. But Emperor Chongzhen happened to be there, and when he saw a private chat, he went to click to watch it.

After understanding the current situation, he couldn't help but frown. Did these Dutch people take the wrong medicine? Since the food has been shipped, why do you still have to find trouble at this time? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be!

At Taiping Port Wharf, Liu Guoneng was understanding the situation when he suddenly saw a group of local soldiers escorting a group of people. The people were obviously red and barbarians, and in this winter, they were sweating profusely, as if they had been rushing a long way.

"Report that these red barbarians were envoys to the Fuzhou Governor's Office. They ran back halfway and were caught by their subordinates!"

The warships on the sea seemed to see the situation on the shore, and the warships seemed to be moving again. There were more people on the deck, looking here. At the same time, Liu Daneng's infantry vanguard arrived and drove into the Taiping Port Wharf one after another. There were a lot more Ming troops on the shore.

Seeing so many Ming troops, Aibige couldn't help but believe the news. At this time, when he heard that these officials in the government started to scold him, he couldn't help but say, "You Ming people are treacherous and have no faith. Not only do they cheat on our food, but they also want to destroy us. We will not be fooled..."

Liu Guoneng heard the red barbarian saying the Ming Dynasty, but he said bad things about the Ming Dynasty with contempt. He couldn't help but be furious. He just whipped it and shouted sternly: "You barbarians like you dare to say that I am a treacherous Ming Dynasty?"

These people who look like ghosts used to rob them at sea. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty was treacherous, how could Liu Guo tolerate this?

"Why, I'm so angry that I'm so embarrassed that I'm angry when I'm told you, right?" Ai Bige didn't bow his head at all, and laughed with his neck straight, "I used to be like this in Nanjuyi, and now Sun Chuanting is like this. There is no one who talks about faith!"

Nan Juyi is now an important official of the court. He was scolded like this. Changle's garrison was not waiting for Liu Guo to take action, so he punched him first. The pain was so painful that Ai Bige could not say anything else.

When Ma San saw this situation, he frowned. He felt something was wrong, so he entered the chat group again and continued to chat with Sun Zhongcheng privately, reporting the latest situation.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, as a bystander, he felt that he had a strange feeling. There must be something wrong with it. So he immediately replied to Ma San: "Let Liu Guo be calm and ask the situation clearly and report to me, I'll wait!"

When Ma San saw the emperor reply, he did not dare to neglect and immediately approached Liu Guoneng and whispered to convey the emperor's will.
