Wang Dong is finally back.

He conquered Luzon and then led his troops to Johor. After nearly a year, Wang Dong, who had expanded overseas territory for the Ming Dynasty, finally returned to his hometown. When he stood on the flagship, he looked at the closer and closer Tianjin Port, Wang Dong suddenly felt like a wanderer who was finally back home.

Compared with last year, Tianjin Port has changed a lot today. Not only the scope and berths of the wharf, but also the entire Tianjin city is taller and broader. Looking at this familiar but somewhat unfamiliar Tianjin, Wang Dong felt a little moved. At this time, he thought of the battle he led the navy to attack Tianjin from the sea. It was that battle that completely reversed the situation between the Ming and the Qing Dynasty and became the decisive battle of the Ming Dynasty to replace the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, the battle in which the Ming Dynasty truly gained the orthodox world was the subsequent Central Plains War. After the Central Plains War, the Qing Dynasty completely lost its heartland from Shandong, Jiangbei, and south of Zhili to Henan, thus losing the initiative from politics to military.

But for the people of the world, the Battle of the Central Plains only laid the foundation for the orthodox status of the Ming Dynasty and marked the complete retreat of the Qing Dynasty. However, the Battle of the King and the Qing Dynasty was not the Battle of the Central Plains, but the Battle of the surprise attack on Tianjin that year.

It was precisely because of the Battle of Tianjin that the Qing Dynasty left the stage of history that led the Ming Dynasty to move from a local revival regime to the first step of dominating the world. In the Battle of Tianjin, the Ming Dynasty took over the important northern town of Tianjin with a thunderous momentum, and went directly to Beijing from Tianjin as a stronghold.

Everyone knows everything that happened next. Outside Beijing, the elite Ming army defeated the Qing army's armed forces in Zhili, thus forcing the Qing court to flee west in a panic. Finally, the Ming army occupied the city of Beijing, causing the old capital to return to the Ming Dynasty and ring the death knell of the Qing Dynasty.

Wang Dong was the main member of the Tianjin landing war back then. Now, looking at Tianjin now, he naturally felt extremely emotional.

"Master, this time you return to Beijing to discuss the merits, Your Majesty will definitely have a heavy reward. At that time, the Master will definitely remember your brothers." On the side, a naval general said to Wang Dong with a smile. It is certain that Wang Dong will be rewarded with such great merits this time, and their naval subordinates will naturally rise.

Wang Dong didn't agree, but he still smiled and said, "You bastards, I can't decide the rewards of the court? But don't worry, the emperor has always had a clear distinction in rewards and punishments. You guys are waiting for promotion and wealth."

"I'll thank the general in advance." Everyone laughed and said, all of them were full of energy.

A moment later, the fleet arrived at the anchorage and Wang Dong landed on a communication ship. When he arrived at the dock, there were people waiting for him on the dock, and this person was also an acquaintance of Wang Dong, but Wang Dong was a little surprised to see this person.

"Zhu Yigui, why are you here?" Zhu Yigui was greeted by him. Zhu Yigui is now a famous general in the Ming army. Although he is not as good as Ma Gongcheng and Yue Zhongqi, he is also a general who stands alone.

According to the level, it is not an exaggeration for Zhu Yigui to come to the wharf to pick up Wang Dong, but Zhu Yigui is not a member of the navy. Moreover, as a local commander, he, an army general, is not suitable for this, which is also something that Wang Dong feels confused.

"Ship Wang, long time no see." Zhu Yigui went forward, saluted a military salute, and then laughed: "It's been two years since we left. When we met Shuai Wang, we were still in Nanjing. Now, Wang Shuai's style is still the same, and he is very envious of his humble duties..."

"You guy has not improved. When you meet, you still look like you did back then, but there are more stars on your shoulders." Wang Dong glanced at Zhu Yigui's military rank. Zhu Yigui had been given the rank of lieutenant general before, but now he has already given the rank of general.

It seems that although Zhu Yigui has never visited the front line since the Central Plains War, this official has been promoted to another level, and this guy is lucky.

"Aren't these all the gifts of the emperor? It's a blessing for Wang Shuai." Zhu Yigui said with a smile on his face.

It is said that the senior generals in the Ming army have different personalities. Dong Dashan is calm, Zhuang Yan is resourceful, Ma Gongcheng is cautious, Yue Zhongqi has strategies... But Zhu Yigui is different from them. Compared with other generals, this famous duck king is full of military power and has an unconventional personality, and is a different kind of general.

"Stop flattering, by the way, why are you here?" Wang Dong asked directly with a lip silence.

Zhu Yigui smiled and told Wang Dong that in fact he was only half a day earlier than Wang Dong. After arriving in Tianjin, he realized that Wang Dong's fleet would arrive in Tianjin today, so he stayed to wait at the dock with the people who greeted Wang Dong.

However, because of Zhu Yigui's special status and his high level, he took the lead among the crowd. This is why Wang Donghui thought that Zhu Yigui was specially arranged to welcome him.

He shook his head with laughter and cry, and Wang Dong ignored him and walked straight towards the crowd that really welcomed him. After a few words with everyone, he left the dock together. Although it was already afternoon, Wang Dong did not want to spend the night in Tianjin, so he simply got up and took a carriage to Beijing City.

Wang Dong has a village outside Beijing. This village was given by Zhu Yicheng. Although he could not enter the city at night, it was more convenient to stay in the village for one night and then enter the city the next day.

But Wang Dong didn't expect that Zhu Yigui, a shameless guy, followed him when he heard that Wang Dong was going to leave directly, and he insisted on hudding with Wang Dong in a carriage regardless of his identity.

Wang Dong's carriage is not small, and due to military and commercial needs over the years, the official road from Tianjin to Beijing has been repaired several times and is very flat. The two of them are still spacious and comfortable in the car.

However, when the car left Tianjin and moved forward along the official road, Wang Dong, who had been slightly closed his eyes, opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Yigui sitting opposite him, and suddenly said, "You stayed here today to wait for me today, and got on me with a thick face. Tell me, why is this?"

"Haha, I haven't seen Wang Shuai for a long time, I just want to get close to Wang Shuai..."

Before Zhu Yigui finished speaking, Wang Dong waved his hand and glared at him: "Don't mess around, tell the truth!"

"Okay..." Zhu Yigui raised his eyebrows, then restrained the hippie smile on his face and said seriously: "Wang Shuai, do you know why I am in Tianjin?"

Wang Dong felt aroused this. Zhu Yigui had been stationed in Jiangbei after the Central Plains War, but this time he suddenly went north. With a general of his level of rank, he naturally could not leave his garrison at will without the will of the throne. Moreover, he said in Tianjin that Zhu Yigui was taking a boat directly to Tianjin. This means that Zhu Yigui took a boat to save time, otherwise wouldn't it be more convenient to take the land route?

"The emperor summoned you to the capital?" Wang Dong asked directly.
