Chapter 331: All the people and drawings are abducted

Zhang Haibin led Zhang Zhun and others to walk in the weedy path. The Tapa Village is actually quite large and the terrain is quite complicated. Finally, the group came to the innermost thatched hut. Zhang Zhun stood in front of the thatched hut and identified the location. He found that it should be outside Nanjing City, probably in the southwest, and may be more than ten miles away from Nanjing City. Obviously, this place is a completely different world from Nanjing City.

The thatched hut in front of him was equally dilapidated and shaky. Zhang Zhun even had to lightly walk, for fear that the vibration caused by force would be enough to shake the thatched hut down. Feeling the movement outside, an old man came out from inside, looking at Zhang Zhun and his group with dizzy eyes. His turbid eyes finally fell on Zhang Haibin and said tremblingly: "Three-eyed boy, why are you here again? Have you brought food?"

Zhang Haibin said in a loud voice: "Stern uncle, I will bring someone to see you!"

There was obviously something wrong with the third uncle's ears, and he didn't seem to hear Zhang Haibin's answer. However, his eyes were obviously not problematic. When he saw Zhang Zhun ask someone to bring a large basket of pancakes, his eyes shining. The old man, who was a decades-old, was as quick as a monkey, immediately went up and took the whole basket over. Then he picked up a piece of pancake with both hands and started gnawing without hesitation.

Zhang Haibin said obscenely: "The people here are all hungry."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "There are some pancakes. I brought a lot of them from Shandong."

This is not a polite word, but a real thing. When Zhang Zhun went south, he did bring a lot of pancakes as a food spare. Pancakes are mixed with green onions, which are very simple and convenient food, and they are hungry. Add a little soy sauce, which is a good delicacy. Because it is the cold winter month, these pancakes are not easy to break. They are just a bit hard. However, for hungry people, harder pancakes are also pancakes!

While the old man was eating pancakes, Zhang Zhun looked around with a thousand miles mirror. As a result, except for the Crazy Village, there was no more people. The Crazy Village was also extremely quiet. There was no barking of dogs, no roosters, no cats, and even no insects and birds. Anyway, except for everyone's breathing, there was also the sound of the old man gnawing pancakes, and nothing could be heard.

Dead silence.

It's really a silence like death.

It is hard to imagine that in such a place, people still survive.

After eating four pancakes, the old man finally burped with satisfaction and had the strength to talk to Zhang Zhun and the others. Zhang Haibin repeated it loudly again, but the third uncle's hearing was still quite bad. He looked Zhang Zhun up and down but couldn't figure out Zhang Zhun's identity. His answer and Zhang Haibin's question were completely different.

Fortunately, at this time, another old man came. The old man was in good spirits, looked strong, with good eyes and hearing. He also ate four pancakes before talking to everyone. After introduction, Zhang Zhun learned that these two old men, one surnamed Duan and the other surnamed Yin. Duan Changfa and Yin Dafu, were widowers who had never been married in their entire lives.

Zhang Haibin introduced to Yin Dafu and said, "This lord came from the capital. He came here mainly to learn about the situation of the treasure ship from you."

Yin Dafu was obviously not that easy to fool. While Zhang Zhun looked at him, he also looked at Zhang Zhun and said half-believingly: "Sir from the capital?"

Zhang Zhun took out the bronze medal from the commander of Aoshanwei and handed it to him.

Yin Dafu obviously recognized the words. He had read the bronze medal and said strangely: "You are from Shandong Dusi, why did you come to Jiangnan?"

Zhang Haibin said, "Uncle Fourth, you don't think about it. The superiors should know the real situation in Nanzhili. Can people in Nanzhili investigate it? You don't know what the officials in Nanjing are. People in Northern Zhili are not safe either. They are all in the same place. If you want to find trustworthy people, you can only find ways from other places."

Yin Dafu's brain was obviously not very flexible. After hearing Zhang Haibin's words, he felt it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Zhun pretended to be deep and said: "Old man, it is really heartbreaking for Longjiang Shipyard to be ruined like this! If Zhang Haibin hadn't led the way, I might not have found this place at all. Haven't you ever thought about moving out of here and making a living?"

Yin Dafu said obscurely: "Your sir is easy to say but difficult to do. We are all decades old people. Where can we go? Our roots here! We live here and die here, our ancestors have been like this for generations. Besides, the shipyards outside need young and powerful men. What do we old men do? They don't need to build large ships and have no technical needs."

Zhang Zhun's eyes flashed and he said tentatively: "Old man, what do you mean is that if there is a big ship to build, you might consider leaving here?"

Yin Dafu said with hope: "Does the court want to build ships?"

Zhang Zhun nodded vigorously.

Duan Changfa and Yin Dafu were both very happy.

As long as the shipbuilding starts, they will have income. With income, they can change their existing life. They are waiting here for the shipyard to reopen. They have no idea how many days they have been waiting for. They originally thought that they would never wait for the shipyard to reopen in their lifetime. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun's arrival gave them hope. In their lifetime, they finally waited for this day.

Duan Dafa said first: "I wonder how many ships the imperial court will build?"

Yin Dafu also asked anxiously: "I don't know when the shipyard will start construction?"

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "The court has built a new shipyard, not here."

Duan Changfa said disappointedly: "The new shipyard? Not here?"

Zhang Zhun said sternly: "It is precisely. In order to deal with the raging Tartars in the north, the court built a new shipyard in Shandong. The court needed to build a large number of warships to fight back against the Tartars in Liaodong. This time I went south to see if there were people in Jiangnan who would be helpful to the shipyard. At the same time, I heard that there are information about the treasure ships here, and I will take them away."

Yin Dafu hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you really want to take away the information of the treasure ship?"

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation: "Yes."

Yin Dafu frowned and said, "It is impossible to build treasure ships in other places except the Longjiang Shipyard. In that place in Shandong, whether it is raw materials or personnel, it is not as convenient as here! Sir, if you want to start a shipbuilding, it is better to clean out the Longjiang Shipyard, which saves time and effort! Don't look at the destruction of the Longjiang Shipyard. In fact, it is all weeds that can be cleaned up in half a month. The silt in the pond can be cleaned up in two or three months."

Zhang Zhun said: "Yes, Longjiang Shipyard can indeed continue to be used. There are indeed unique conditions for building ships here. However, it is not possible to build ships here for the time being. The court does not have so much financial and material resources, and it also takes into account the two shipyards at the same time. At present, it can only meet the needs of Shandong Shipyards first."

Yin Dafu's expression was a little weird, and he didn't know what he wanted to say.

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "In order to deal with the Tartars, the court needed a large number of treasure ships! The previous treasure ship information belonged to the country and should be presented. Of course, you have preserved the information of the treasure ship as a reward. The court is willing to reward you with one thousand taels of silver!"

Yin Dafu's eyes lit up, then he felt a little sad again, and he said slowly: "The drawings of the treasure ship are not my own credit. Everyone in the entire Stupa Village has a share."

Zhang Zhun said, "I know. So, I have arranged for you all livelihoods in the future. As long as you are willing, you can all move to a shipyard in Shandong with me. To build a treasure boat, in addition to the information on the treasure boat, there are not enough information on the treasure boat, but also a large number of experienced boatmen! I am here this time to take you away secretly! I believe everyone knows that the situation in the north is very chaotic now, and I cannot act publicly to avoid arousing the alertness of the Tartars."

Duan Changfa and Yin Dafu looked at me, and I looked at you, and they felt like they were running around. However, because Zhang Zhun’s news was too sudden, they couldn’t believe it. I just ate a few pancakes, and now I have received a thousand taels of silver, and I have to take them all away? Could it be that the gods and Buddhas in the pagoda have finally appeared?

Finally, Yin Dafu said: "The court really wants to take us all away?"

Zhang Zhun said: "Of course! How many people are there in you here? I'll take them all!"

Yin Dafu said, "Not many, three or four hundred people!"

Zhang Zhun said: "Okay! Everyone pack up and leave now!"

Duan Changfa and Yin Dafu were still hesitating.

Zhang Zhun's arrival was a bit sudden, and their brains were a little too difficult to change. Moreover, they had lived around Longjiang Shipyard for decades. Golden and silver nests were not as good as their own doghouses. Chinese people are home-loving, and even if they are bad homes, they wouldn't just leave. Shandong is a bit far away from Jiangnan. They really went there, but who knows what that place looks like?

Zhang Zhun naturally understood what could touch their hearts the most, nodded, and shouted: "Come here! Come and bring two boxes of silver!"

Zhou Yanyu brought more than a dozen soldiers to carry two boxes of silver with difficulty. Of course, the silver was taken out from the Gu family. Zhang Zhun left 30,000 taels for spare use, and the rest was escorted back to Fushan City. Now, it is just enough to use.

The white silver appeared, and everyone's eyes turned a little green. People in the Fota Village may have not seen large pieces of silver ingots for decades or even hundreds of years. The silver ingots in the box are all five taels per, and are stacked neatly. How can people not turn green in their eyes?

"Each person has ten taels of silver as a settlement fee."

"Now, everyone will come and register their names and collect them!"

"Even if you are not healthy, you will have a share! Anyone from the Stupa Village has a share!"

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.

Duan Changfa and Yin Dafu had no doubts at all. They finally believed that God had opened his eyes. The court was really going to rebuild a ship. Except for the court, who was willing to throw so much money to take them away? Unexpectedly, after waiting for decades, they finally waited for the moment when they reopened the ship.

"Zhang Haibin, you are responsible for the payment of the money!"

Zhang Zhun said to Zhang Haibin.

"Thank you for your trust!"

Zhang Haibin suddenly became excited.

He was also moved when he saw these white money, but what was even more excited was because of Zhang Zhun's trust. Zhang Haibin had always wanted to be an excellent naval officer and drove a warship on the sea. Unfortunately, the left guard of the navy was completely decayed, and his wish was impossible to achieve. Therefore, over the years, he had always felt that he was wasting his time, was powerless, and had no motivation to do anything. Unexpectedly, he would actually meet Zhang Zhun.

It seems that the court is really going to cheer up. In Shandong, the court obviously wants to build a stronger navy. Do you also have to find a way to follow this adult to Shandong? It is obvious that there is no hope to stay in the ghost place in Jiangnan. Only by following this adult can you have the opportunity to go out to sea!

"Everyone lined up!"

"Don't be messed up!"

Zhang Haibin shouted.

He was determined to do this properly and never let Zhang Zhun feel that he was not capable. Then, at the right time, he expressed his wish to Zhang Zhun, hoping that he would take him away from Shandong. As for his family, he was temporarily in Jiangnan, and waited for him to gain a firm foothold in Shandong before taking it over.

Soon, the shipmakers around the Longjiang Shipyard arrived one by one and received the silver one by one. The silver was indeed very vulgar, but it would never be possible without silver. After receiving the white silver, the craftsmen took action. They had no doubts about moving away. Everyone was busy packing things and preparing to leave. In fact, they had no property at all, and each person had a small burden, and they could take it away.

"Sir, these are the information of the treasure ship."

After paying the money, Duan Changfa and Yin Dafu brought out four worn wooden boxes from the inside of the pagoda. The outside of the wooden boxes was wrapped in raw cowhide and looked intact. Zhang Haibin personally opened the wooden boxes one by one. Inside, there were indeed piles of drawings.

Zhang Zhun picked it up and roughly overturned it. It was indeed the construction drawings of the treasure ship. Different wooden boxes correspond to different parts of the treasure ship. Unfortunately, due to poor storage, many of the drawings turned yellow, and some were even eaten by insects. At the same time, some people might have flipped it around randomly, and the order of the drawings was messed up. No one could say how many missing things were in the middle. It was definitely a careful and knowledgeable time to sort out all these drawings.

It seems that this water grinding time must be handled by experts like Xue Zhidie. I hope that in the most critical links, the drawings should not be missing. However, no matter what, it is better to have these drawings than not. Moreover, there are so many boatmen. They should know more or less the manufacturing process of some treasure ships, and compared with the drawings, they should be able to make breakthroughs.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Zhun couldn't help laughing.

Hahaha, the harvest this trip is more cost-effective than money!

Zhang Zhun was very happy to think that the huge treasure ship was very likely to reappear in his hands. When he became rich in the future, he must build a thousand or hundreds of treasure ships, each with a hundred or dozens of cannons, and wander around Europe in a mighty way...

In order to facilitate personnel access, Zhang Zhun ordered on the spot to dismantle all the old trestles and use those ladders to build them on the spot to become new trestles. After a busy night, the population of Crazy Village was loaded. It was not until the early morning of the next day that Fuhai and Ninghai slowly left the Longjiang Shipyard.

After entering the waters of the Yangtze River, everything felt much better. Nanjing City was soon in sight. Suddenly, Zhang Zhun found something from the Qianli Miles Miles Miles Miles. At the same time, Yang Guohua also discovered the enemy situation from the Qianli Miles Miles Miles and said to Zhang Zhun: "Sir, it's Nanjing's soldiers, we are coming towards us!"

It turned out that on the shore of Nanjing City, there were a team of Ming soldiers, about a thousand people, who were circulating towards the Longjiang Shipyard. Judging from their appearance, they knew they were looking for bad luck to Zhang Zhun. However, their intelligence efficiency was really bad. It took Zhang Zhun a night there before they started to move. It is conceivable to deal with the Tartars with such efficiency.

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "These bastards! If you don't want to serve the country, you will know how to fight in the nest."

After Zhang Haibin was held back by Zhang Zhun, he had been on the boat and had never left. He knew nothing about the information from the outside world. Zhang Zhun's actions made him believe that Zhang Zhun was indeed sent by the capital. Therefore, he also said angrily: "Sir, the officials of Nanzhili have all rotted from the root."

Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and looked carefully at the surrounding river surface. He found that there were no warships of the navy left guard and the right guard of the navy right guard, so he felt relieved. As long as there were no cannons, he had no need to worry. No matter how many Ming soldiers in Nanjing were, they were not his opponent.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The Ming army on the shore discovered Fuhai and Ninghai, and then stopped moving forward and fired. The gunshots sounded very lively, which surprised the boatmen in the Stupa Village. They didn't understand why the Ming army shot at this adult.

Of course, the Ming army's melee gun could not hit Fuhai and Ninghai at all. The distance between the two sides was about one hundred feet, far beyond the range of the melee gun. Fuhai and Ninghai were in a good mood, and as long as they went down the river, no one could catch up with them.

However, Zhang Zhun couldn't stand this anger. If he didn't fight back when he was beaten, that was not Zhang Zhun's style. He was originally here to cause trouble for Nanjing City. He just went to Longjiang Shipyard because of the occasionally treasure ship drawings. Since the other party took action first, that would be even better.
