"You are really..."
Wei Baian didn't know what to say to him. He drank another drink and said with melancholy: "Now the war is coming. The Japanese are extremely cunning and we are at a disadvantage. It will definitely be difficult to deal with them."
"Do you really have any other purpose for taking such a risk?"
This question was a bit strange. Xiao Chen chuckled and asked, "What other purpose can I have?"
"Are you willing to be suppressed by Chen Jin all the time?"
"Since what the old eunuch asked you to do is not what you want, you have no other ideas."
"Either replace him or kill him quickly!"
This old man is so straightforward.
If he hadn't known him for a few days and knew that uprightness was his nature, Xiao Chen would have felt that this was a ploy to trick him.
Some things are always hard to say on the table, just know them in your heart.
Wei Wei yawned: "There are so many things in this world, how can everything go as planned?"
"As for how you will deal with the unsatisfactory things in the end, you have to let nature take its course. You can't tell me even if you kiss me."
This is somewhat reserved.
Wei Baian was depressed: "It seems that Governor Xiao still doesn't trust me."
"This is called sailing with caution!"
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came to report: "Governor Wei, Governor Xiao, there are several ships approaching not far away, and visually there are many people on them!"
Wei Baian instantly became alert, and Xiao Chen frowned slightly, "Could it be that they got the news so quickly?"
Wei Baian quickly ordered: "Immediately be on alert. If they have any objections, shoot rockets directly and kill them without mercy!"
"Those traveling on the sea are either pirates or Japanese people. Even if they are killed, they will never be killed accidentally."
Looking in the direction, there were about ten ships.
Moreover, it was so large and majestic that it was comparable to their warships.
Xiao Chen was also afraid of getting on the splint, so he took out his telescope. He always felt that something was wrong, so he analyzed it to himself:
"They don't wear uniforms, they don't look like Japanese people."
"There are nearly ten ships, each of which can accommodate at least three to four thousand people, so the total is thirty to forty thousand. Where can there be pirates of this size?"
Wei Baian came over calmly and asked for a telescope to look at it carefully. He was confused for a moment.
"If they are not pirates or Japanese, then what are these? It can't be a caravan!"
Even if it is a caravan, how can there be a caravan of tens of thousands of people?
"Those ships seem to be coming close to us, but they have no intention of attacking. Could they be our own?"
Wei Baian snorted: "How is it possible? This sea has long been a mixed territory of Japanese and pirates. Ordinary birds and animals still have to leave their skin and flesh, let alone outsiders."
"Perhaps it's the Japanese people who are pretending to be disguised. They want to cover it up and surprise them again!"
Although his idea made sense, it still felt strange.
The two discussed for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason until Jin Chengzhong came in a hurry.
With a smile on his face, he was overjoyed: "My lords, good news, we have reinforcements!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chen was slightly surprised: "Reinforcements? You shouldn't be talking about the approaching ships, right?"
"The master is wise, it is indeed them."
"These are all my friends on the road this morning. They hang out in this area of the sea. Because there are many people and weapons, outsiders dare not harass them rashly."
A word woke up the dreamer, "Okay, you actually hid this trick, which made us jealous for a long time, and it turned out to be one of our own!"
Although it was a bit depressing, the result was very popular.
He quickly asked: "How many people are on the boat?"
"About 50,000 people, all of whom came to help my subordinates to deal with the Japanese."
As soon as he said this, he and Wei Baian looked at each other, feeling even more confident.
This is no small amount!
"That's great. With the participation of others, we will be even more powerful. Sooner or later, the Japanese boy will be beaten to the point of begging for mercy."
Wei Baian felt happy and turned around to look at Jin Chengzhong again: "How can you, a small subordinate, command tens of thousands of people?"
No matter how you listen to it, it feels a little complicated, and his scrutinizing eyes make people feel scared.
Jin Chengzhong glanced at Xiao Chen for help.
He quickly smiled and said: "He is his friend and also the friend of this governor."
"In the early years, this governor also went to sea to Jiangdong, and fortunately made acquaintance with some people at sea."
"I just didn't expect that times have changed, but they are still willing to do their part. It's really gratifying!"
Although there were still some doubts in his heart, Bai An didn't ask any more questions: "Hurry up and say hello. Since you are one of our own, let's get closer quickly. Let's get familiar with each other!"
Even one more person means more strength, let alone 50,000 people!
Wei Baian happily went to greet them, leaving only Xiao Chen and Jin Chengzhong alone.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Jin Chengzhong, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, you old man was such a back-up guy?"
Jin Chengzhong shrank his neck and said, "Your Highness, I really don't blame my subordinates for this. I didn't expect them to still care about their old relationship."
In fact, those people were all soldiers who fled from the previous dynasty.
They wanted to stay away from the imperial court and survive safely, so they came to the waters of Jiangdong.
Jin Chengzhong wrote several times before, hoping that they could come back to help and support the great cause of the previous dynasty, but they were all politely rejected.
Unexpectedly, it suddenly appeared today.
He couldn't help but sigh: "If the late emperor saw that although the previous dynasty was good, it still had such cohesion, he would definitely be more gratified."
I don’t know whether it was because of the sea breeze that confused my eyes, or because I was stimulated by the soreness somewhere.
His eyes were filled with crystal tears, as if he was about to cry bitterly at any moment.
Xiao Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, let's talk about our current feelings after we achieve our great cause."
"Thank you for taking care of all this in secret. I will not let you down."
Jin Chengzhong has planned enough troops for him.
Although it is not enough to resist the imperial court, let's start by dealing with the Japanese and win over people's hearts!
Less than half an hour later, the two ships gathered together and set up a hanging board on the side of the ship.
Several burly middle-aged men strode onto their boat.
As soon as they saw Jin Chengzhong, the strong men hurriedly greeted him respectfully, "Commander Jin!"
Jin Chengzhong winked.
Those people immediately changed their words, "Brother Jin, I haven't seen you for many years. Are you okay?"
Jin Chengzhong didn't know how to answer them.
Where can it be better? His life was gone, and he had been cleaning the cesspools of the Chu Imperial Palace for more than ten years...
But the only thing that makes people happy is that he has found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of their previous dynasty, and found an important person who can help the previous dynasty!
