Chapter 225 Go to Guangzhou

When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he asked in surprise: "What? The thief has already broken through Shanxi? How could it be so fast?"

Yu Chenglong sighed and said, "What can I do? The bandits are in awe of their arrogance. Shanxi led their troops into Shaanxi before and returned to defeat. Although Shanxi Governor Cai Maode immediately recruited troops after returning to Shanxi, and did not hesitate to disperse all his family's wealth. However, the strength was too disparity. Yang Wenyue, the governor of Shanxi and other troops, remained unmoved. So in the end, Lord Cai died heroically and Shanxi fell. I knew that there would be no peace in Shanxi from then on, so he brought some fellow villagers to join him."

Ma Mingfeng was just surprised on the surface. In fact, he already knew that this day was coming. With the current situation, the Ming Dynasty was powerless to stop the Dashun army from heading north. Even if the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command were of no use, it would be of no use, let alone that he would not make unnecessary sacrifices for Chongzhen.

But no matter what, it is worth it to be able to get a character like Yu Jackie Chan to join him for thousands of miles.

So Ma Mingfeng hurriedly let Yu Chenglong into the hall and introduced the people who came to join him together.

At the beginning, these people just exchanged greetings, but later they had a conversation and found that they were indeed not simple people, so they started to communicate seriously.

After some discussion, Ma Mingfeng decided to lead 10,000 elite troops to Guangzhou in person. If the Portuguese refuse, these 10,000 people will be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop. As for the remaining troops, they are still stationed outside Nanjing.

After hearing Ma Mingfeng's decision, Tong Wei was shocked and hurriedly said, "Sir, I don't have so many ships there. It's so difficult to load goods and transport people."

But Ma Mingfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. I can transfer the insufficient ships from Admiral Cao Jiang. I believe he is still willing to help me."

Tong Wei was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that Ma Mingfeng had such ability and dispatched ships from Admiral Cao Jiang very casually, and he ordered ships to supply tens of thousands of people!

"This, how much energy should this be? It seems that I underestimated him." Tong Wei said silently in his heart. From this, he thought that Ma Mingfeng would definitely have more secrets he didn't know, so it seems that he had bet right this time, and as long as he hangs with him in the future, he will definitely not be wrong.

This incident made Tong Wei even more determined to hold Ma Mingfeng's thigh, and he would do whatever he wanted no matter how much the price he paid.

Thinking of this, Tong Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, there are hundreds of Western muskets on my boat. Although they cannot play a big role, I will give them to you. If you encounter a Western fleet, you will have certain self-protection capabilities."

Ma Mingfeng waved his hand and said, "This is not necessary. In the waters of my Ming Dynasty, those Western fleets dare not act wild. As for those pirate merchant ships, I will destroy one for him."

These words immediately made Tong Wei lose his temper. Ma Mingfeng's words were so domineering that he was speechless.

Since he was speechless, there was no need to say anything more. Tong Wei could only do what he should do for Ma Mingfeng, and he could not control himself later.

At this time, Ma Mingfeng continued: "But Western firearms are exquisitely made, so I can leave a few of them for the craftsmen under my command to imitate them."

Tong Wei was moved when he heard this. He felt that Ma Mingfeng did this just to avoid embarrassment, so he deliberately used several subordinates to comfort him. As for the imitation of the craftsmen, such as asking them to imitate them, it was just an excuse.

However, Tong Wei didn't know that Ma Mingfeng said this from sincerity, not just comfort. Since the creation of landmines in Kaifeng, Ma Mingfeng's army has trained a group of skilled firearm manufacturing craftsmen.

Although the firearms at this time were more advanced than those in the Ming Dynasty, they were also limited in advance and were all handmade, so Ma Mingfeng believed that the craftsmen under his command could imitate these Western firearms.

The only pity is that Tong Wei only had muskets and no cannons in his hand, otherwise Ma Mingfeng would not have to travel to Guangzhou specifically.

After several days of preparation, everything was ready. Ma Mingfeng led Hao Yaoqi, Liu Zhaolin, Ni Zhihua, Zhao Liangdong, Gao Jie, Jiang Pingjie, Yu Chenglong and others to lead a 10,000 elite army to Guangzhou.

Tong Wei, who wanted to hug Ma Mingfeng's thighs, naturally led the team to follow closely. This time he also brought a lot of goods, and followed Ma Mingfeng to experience the privilege of fast passage without paying taxes.

This time the itinerary really opened Tong Wei's eyes and truly felt the difference between the privileged class. Every time Ma Mingfeng's fleet arrived at the port, as soon as he showed his identity, the patrol soldiers were all polite and respectful, and some even came and sent him, enthusiastically making him jealous.

Especially when Ma Mingfeng's fleet arrived in Songjiang, the people who greeted him were even more enthusiastic. The man who looked thirty or forty years and looked very elegant and elegant actually hugged Ma Mingfeng and called out brothers one by one. However, Ma Mingfeng did not call him brothers, but treated him with courtesy to his younger generations. This shows that he was not interested in the enthusiasm of that person.

However, what Tong Wei didn't know was that only a few of the officials in those ports were afraid of his official positions, most of which were out of respect for him in resistance against the rebel army, while the man who was very intimate to him in Songjiang was Chen Zilong.

In fact, even Chen Zilong did not expect that in a short time, Ma Mingfeng actually went from Nanjing to Songjiang. After receiving the news, Chen Zhilong couldn't help but be ecstatic, so he went to greet him with his friends and disciples.

Among Chen Zilong's friends, the most famous one is Xia Yunyi. This beautiful man has long heard of Ma Mingfeng's name from Chen Zilong, so he also showed great enthusiasm when welcoming Ma Mingfeng.

Behind Xia Yunyi is his fourteen-year-old son Xia Wanchun. I have to say that this young man perfectly inherited his father's beautiful genes, looking like a handsome and cool person.

What satisfied Ma Mingfeng even more was that although Xia Wanchun was young and handsome, she was polite and had long admired Ma Mingfeng. Now, after meeting him, he asked Ma Mingfeng for a few questions, was very satisfied with his answer, and even cheered, asking his father Xia Yunyi and teacher Chen Zilong to follow Ma Mingfeng.
