The ship slowly leaned onto the dock. Before it could completely stop, He Ying jumped off the deck. In front, Zeng Lin and a group of officials from Jinghu County came up with a smile.

"General He, work hard all the way." Zeng Lin greeted him with fists.

"Thank you for your hard work in the county magistrate." He Ying said respectfully: "Before leaving, I went to Yuejing Jin to meet Your Majesty. Your Majesty asked the last general to bring a message to the county magistrate, saying that the county magistrate's great righteousness and great achievements will be remembered in your heart."

"I dare not think that the credit is not worthy. Zeng Lin is just to prevent the war from being poisoned by the six eastern counties. The people have finally lived a life of peace for a few years. I hope they can always live and work peacefully and peacefully in this way." Zeng Lin shook her head and said.

"For the country and the people, the most heroic person is worthy of this comment." He Ying said with a smile.

Zeng Lin looked at the ships on the dock. Teams of soldiers were lined up to get off the ship, and the whole line was lined up on the open space in front of the dock. Unlike ordinary Ming soldiers, this army was very different in dress. It was not armed, and the military jackets on their bodies did not look thick, and were tied tightly by thick cowhide belts. There were some small things hanging everywhere on the belts that were unknown. There were also several purses for holding things on the military jackets. What was even more eye-catching was that the color of these military jackets was dark blue.

"This army seems to be unique!" Zeng Lin said curiously. "Do they not even have armor? If they go to the battlefield, wouldn't it be a problem in protective performance?"

"No, no, no, there are still armor, but they are not very similar to other troops." He Ying shook his head repeatedly and reached out to call an officer, "Go, get a military jacket."

The officer jumped back to the boat like a flying one, and in a moment he took a new military jacket and handed it to He Ying.

"Monkey, our army belongs to the Ming Navy. Although it is called the Navy Marine Corps, it still stays on the ship most of the time and sometimes participates in water battles. For example, the land troops equipped with heavy armor will greatly affect their flexibility. If they accidentally fall into the water, the heavy armor will become a life-destroying talisman." He Ying said. "So in the past, except for the commander, the other officials of our navy were not worthy of armor. In fact, even if they were matched, the old sailors were unwilling to wear it."

"That's true!" Zeng Lin nodded. When Ning Zhiwen led the navy to cooperate with him in Jinghu to fight, he saw with his own eyes that the sailors were not pierced at all. Most of them were even barefoot. It was not that they had no shoes to wear, but that the old sailors were unwilling to wear it.

"Of course, the protection is really poor, so the Ming Dynasty's military workshop later developed this new type of military jacket based on the characteristics of the navy. Please see the county magistrate." He Ying hissed and pulled the thick cloth outside the military jacket.

Zeng Lin looked at the torn military jacket, and there was a layer of fine fishing net-like stuff inside the flaky filling inside. She couldn't help but feel surprised. She reached out to touch her, and she was cold and tough. "Iron Wire?"

"Steel Wire!" He Ying smiled and corrected: "The flexible thing of iron wire is too poor, so it will be uncomfortable to wear on it. This steel wire is much better."

Zeng Lin couldn't help but feel a little shocked: "This kind of military jacket is not cheap, right?"

"The material is actually not much. The key is that it is manual. It is very complicated to weave and the yield is not high. Otherwise, you can be equipped in large quantities. When you wear this thing, you can hardly feel any weight. Of course, compared with the heavy armor of the army, the protection performance is definitely worse, but the flexibility and durability during combat are better. Who would like to fight with dozens of kilograms of armor on his back? However, because of the low output, only the navy and marines and cavalry are given priority now." He Ying said.

"What a good thing, the Ming Dynasty always has many wonderful ideas." Zeng Lin nodded in admiration: "I wonder if General He has any extras. I'll ask for some for General Yan Jiang?"

He Ying laughed: "There was nothing extra, but the Governor Zeng rarely spoke. This face must be given, so he allocated the supplementary materials of my Navy and Marine Corps. Not many, one thousand pieces, which is my limit. Governor Zeng should not forget to send me a receipt, so I can go back and report the account."

"Of course there is no problem!" Zeng Lin was overjoyed. Most of the cavalry of Jiang Shangyan were leather armor, with only a very small amount of iron armor. But as the Eagle said, after wearing iron armor, there was actually quite a lot of restrictions on cavalry combat. Let Jiang Shangyan try these thousand pieces first, and if it is better, then ask the emperor for it.

"By the way, didn't you say that Master Xu Lai and Master Xu came too?" Zeng Lin looked around, but did not see Xu Lai's figure.

"This is a fool. The ship had a small problem on the way and was temporarily solved, but the problem was not completely solved. He took his subordinates in the bottom cabin and thought hard. The county magistrate didn't have to worry about him. He would not come out now. We have 3,000 people disembarked from the ship to gather, and the other two thousand people would follow these ships to Jiangnan. They would take over some of the missions of General Yang Zhi to pacify Jiangnan. In this way, Changfeng Han Huafeng's troops could be drawn out to participate in the operation to encircle Bian Wushuang." He Ying said: "There are several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, with waterways and lakes everywhere, which is suitable for the navy and marines to fight. They are brave troops who can capture tigers and get dragons when they enter the water."

"That's great!" Zeng Lin smiled: "The four counties in Jiangnan have actually issued an edict, but they lacked food some time ago, so mobs are everywhere, and some are so hungry that they can't stand it, and some want to take the opportunity to make trouble. In fact, it doesn't require too many troops. With these two thousand brave troops, and with the local county soldiers, it should be decided in one go. However, Bian Wushuang retreated to Wanzhou and still had tens of thousands of troops in his hands. We really need overwhelming power to force Bian Wushuang to surrender. This person, if he has no way out, he will not admit defeat."

"Then let him convince this time." He Ying said. "We are only the first batch of troops, and Canglang Camp and Ruijin Camp will also come later. Now they must have gathered in Baoqing Port."

"Canglang and Ruijin are coming too?" Zeng Lin asked in surprise.

"Of course we are coming. When spring is in full bloom, several armies and horses of the Ming Dynasty are heading towards Beijing. Our main attacker is here." He Ying said.

While speaking, thousands of soldiers had already assembled on the dock. The sound of a slogan of a clear rush came from the ships on the dock. The ship slowly left the dock and headed towards Jiangnan.

"General He, your troops, we have established a large camp for you outside the county town and can be stationed at any time. Today, Zeng prepared a little wine in the county town to welcome General He and others."

"Thank you so much for the county magistrate." He Yingmei smiled: "Do you have wine? You are not allowed to drink in the army, but I am so greedy."

“Of course there is.”

"Da Ming burns the knife?"

"Please take it!"

He Ying immediately laughed with satisfaction.

Xiangzhou, Lianghekou. Hu Rui has been looking at the long river in the past few days. According to Yang Zhi's suggestion, he had opened the last grain storage warehouse in the county town to start releasing grain. The official sold grain and directly pressed the price of grain to the level before the outbreak of grain famine. However, the grain in the treasury was limited, and there was still a lot of grain sent to each county every day. Although it had been saved, the grain that was not much in the grain warehouse was still visible to the naked eye to rapidly decrease. According to the treasury's estimate, if this continues, there will be no more grain in Xiangzhou after three days.

Hu Rui's only hope now is that the grain ships from Mingren can arrive immediately, otherwise the people's sentiment that had just calmed down would probably experience another setback, and he really didn't want to live such a life again.

"General Lei, will you arrive today?" Seeing the sky getting darker little by little, Hu Rui, who had not seen the shadow of the ship, finally became a little anxious.

"Mr. Hu, we wise people keep our word. If we say that we are here today, we will arrive today." Thunderstorm said firmly.

Yesterday, two thousand navy land battles and more than ten warships had entered Jiangnan, but they were warships, running fast, and merchant ships should be able to arrive today. Thunderstorms are here. First, they are to resettle Han Huafeng's troops from all over the Changfeng Escort Agency, which have come from all over the place, and second, they are also to complete the exchange between the Ming people's fleet and Hu Rui.

"Here!" Leistorm suddenly said. In the eyes of everyone, a small boat appeared at the end of the river. Hu Rui was happy at first, and then his face turned darker. Is this a grain boat? At most, it can be considered a fishing boat? Even if there are grain on it, how many bags can it have? What effect can this play?

Without waiting for Hu Rui to be angry, countless ships suddenly appeared in his sight. The ones running in front were naturally those small and fast fishing boats. Behind these small boats, big ships were bulging their sails and coming up against the current.

Hu Rui immediately opened his mouth wide.

His vision has been flooded by endless ships.

"Mr. Hu, isn't you worried about it now?" Lei Feng smiled teasingly.

"Let go, let go." Hu Rui was very excited. If these ships were full of food, it would not be just Xiangzhou, but also the food shortage in the four counties in Jiangnan.

"Mr. Hu, you have to organize people to unload the food immediately." Leistor reminded.

"Yes, organize people, organize people." Hu Rui, who was so happy that he was a little stupid, then reacted and quickly raised his voice and shouted: "Come, come!"

The Lianghekou Wharf was immediately overcrowded. When every ship was docked, every bag of grain was unloaded from the ship and loaded with horse-drawn carriages, ox carriages, donkey carriages, and wheelbarrows, they would burst into cheers. In the past few months, people in Xiangzhou have indeed been afraid of hunger.

I feel unhappy if I have food in my hands.
