Chapter 182 Sending Military Supplies to King Lu

When Wang Quan learned that he and Qingzhu were assigned to a group and pretending to be a couple, he was very happy.

"Miss Qingzhu, come on." Wang Quan called Qingzhu.

"What's the matter?" Qingzhu turned his head and asked, his big eyes showing a curious expression.

"Let's pretend to be a couple, let's practice first, so as not to reveal the situation." Wang Quan said with a smile.

A loud slap on Wang Quan's face, Qingzhu was both ashamed and annoyed, and ran away with her face covering her face.

"Sister Qingzhu, what's going on?" Chunlan saw Qingzhu running out of the cabin with her face covering her face and asked.

Qingzhu pointed to Wang Quan in the cabin and said to Chunlan, "Sister, he, he teases me."

Chunlan rushed into the cabin with a quick step, grabbed Wang Quan's ear and pulled him up: "Oh, you disciple, you are so terrible, how dare you tease me, Qingzhu?"

Wang Quan quickly argued: "Sister Chunlan, I really didn't tease Qingzhu girl. Didn't I receive the task? Did I pretend to be a couple to hide my eyes? I just asked Qingzhu sister to practice so that I wouldn't go to Jiannu to reveal my feelings."

"You are still quibbling?" Chunlan grabbed Wang Quan's ear hard, "Is this kind of thing still necessary to practice? When it comes to Jiannu's territory, you can just listen to Qingzhu's sister."

"Sister has taught me a lesson. I will listen to Sister Qingzhu by then. Oh, sister, let it go." Wang Quan hurriedly beg for forgiveness.

Chunlan let go of Wang Quan, took Qingzhu's hand, and the two walked out of the cabin together: "Sister Qingzhu, my sister has taught him a lesson for you. Next time that disciple dares to bully you, just tell your sister, and your sister will definitely beat him up for you!"

Qingzhu blushed and said, "Sister, he is also showing off his verbal skills. I believe he will definitely not be able to do it next time."

"You ghost girl, you are blushing!" Chunlan stretched out her finger and poked Qingzhu's forehead gently, "Can you really fall in love with this disciple?"

"What's my sister saying?" Qingzhu's face turned red with shame, and she ran away like Fei.

The fleet crossed the Yangtze River. Before arriving in Guazhou, Zhao Peng ordered the Jinyiwei to lower the banner and urged the Zheng family caravan. The fleet arrived at the river near Yangzhou, entered the canal from the Guazhou lock, and headed north along the canal. He passed by Yangzhou without stopping, and headed straight for Huai'an. Although Zhao Peng carried the imperial edict given to him by Zhu Cilang, he was unwilling to bother Shi Kefa and Huang Degong, so the fleet did not stop in Yangzhou, but went straight for Huai'an.

After passing Yangzhou, it gradually became dark. The fleet stopped by the river overnight and set sail again the next morning. When it was dark, it arrived in Huai'an and the fleet stopped by the Huai'an River. Zhao Peng, who had changed into a merchant's clothes, took two Jinyiwei lieutenants dressed as friends, Qiuju and Yumei, dressed as maids, and went straight to the river governor's office where Lu Zhenfei.

The soldiers at the door saw the waist sign and put Zhao Peng and others in the yamen.

"General Lu, we meet again." Zhao Peng said with a smile.

"Why is Zhongyong Bo here today?" Lu Zhenfei came forward.

Zhao Peng said: "Brother Ben passed by here with his order. He hoped that the road supervisor would make a convenient way to provide me with some food and supplies." As he said that, he took out the imperial edict from his sleeve.

Lu Zhenfei quickly knelt down and took the imperial edict. He only looked at it once and immediately ordered Zhao Peng's fleet to send 1,000 stones of rice and 500 stones of flour, and ten large fat pigs, twenty sheep, three hundred chickens, two hundred ducks, more than ten baskets of live fish, vegetables, fruits and melons, and two hundred dans of salt. So much grain and salt were naturally not all given to the Jinyiwei, but only more than one thousand people, and so much grain could not be eaten in more than ten days, so most of the food was provided to the Yuyuan Army of King Lu.

In the fleet, there were originally a lot of food, salt and other goods given to King Zhu Yihai of Lu.

After replenishing food and food, the fleet stopped on the river bank for a night, and set sail early the next morning, continuing to sail north. In the evening of the same day, the fleet arrived in Xuzhou.

Since the north fell into the hands of the Qing Dynasty, the transportation between the north and the south had long been cut off. Xuzhou's Yellow River Canal locks had been closed for several months and the fleet stopped on the shore after arriving in Xuzhou.

Jiang Guomao, a salt merchant in Lianghuai who had a cooperative relationship with Zhao Peng, came with his convoy. The caravans brought bags of grain and boxes of goods from the ship, loaded them onto a large truck, and then drove the car to the Yellow River embankment. On the Yellow River embankment, the guys loaded the goods on the ferry. The Jinyiwei also set up camp on the shore, waiting to cross the river again the next morning.

It was extremely unsafe to cross the river at night, so Zhao Peng chose to wait for the next morning to cross the river. The King of Lu on the other side of the Yellow River had already received a notice that the Nanjing Royal Family would provide them with a batch of supplies, including cloth, medicine, cold weapons, armor, four-pound cavalry cannons, bird guns, turtledove guns and other military supplies.

The next morning, the Jinyiwei set up a camp and drew the village, boarded the boat to cross the river.

The ferry crossed the Yellow River. Before he reached the other side, he saw the Ming army, who was tying up the banner of King Lu, greeting him from afar. The boat was admitted to the shore, and Zhu Yihai, dressed in a python robe, came to greet him with his followers and the generals of Yuyuan Army.

"The last general will meet the prince! The prince will come to greet him in person. The last general will be grateful!" Zhao Peng, who had got off the boat, saluted the King of Lu.

"Brother Zhongyong and asked him to get up quickly," King Zhu Yihai of Lu helped Zhao Peng up, "Please follow me. Today, the King of Japan has prepared a banquet for Boron Zhongyong and the brothers of the Jinyiwei."

After walking into the tent of the Central Army of King Lu, Zhao Peng took out the list from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "This is the list of goods sent by His Majesty to the prince. Please check it out."

Zhu Yihai took the list and saw that it read: Two thousand stones of rice, one thousand stones of flour, ten thousand sets of quilts, five thousand sets of armor, three thousand gun heads, one thousand sets of knife cards, eight hundred bird guns, two hundred turtle dove guns, twenty twelve pounds of mortars, and five thousand pounds of gunpowder...

The twelve-pound mortar cannon is a weapon tailored for the Yuyuan Army. This cannon weighs only more than 30 kilograms, which is similar to a tiger squat cannon. Although it is difficult to form a jump like a field cannon when firing solid shells, and it is impossible to fire shells such as shrapnel and shotguns, when firing flowering shells, its power is not inferior to twelve-pound field cannons and howitzers. This light artillery that kills cattle across the mountain is particularly suitable for the army of the Yuyuan Army's guerrilla warfare.

Looking at the numbers on the list, Zhu Yihai smiled happily: "I have fought with Jiannu for several months and defeated Jiannu repeatedly. It's a pity that my army lacks enough food and ammunition. The emperor ordered the Zhongyong Uncle to send supplies, which is really a timely help."

Zhao Peng then saw the Yuyuan Army's victory in the past five months, with a total of 1,237th level of the Qing army. After inspection, it was found that he did not kill good and make achievements. However, most of these heads were the heads of the Qing soldiers in the Green Camp or even auxiliary soldiers. The heads of the Eight Banners of the Manchus were only level six, the heads of the Han army in the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners of the Eighteenth level.

Seeing the Jinyiwei carefully inspecting the head level, Zhu Yihai smiled awkwardly: "What a pity, there are too few real slaves, most of them are fake Tartars' heads."

Compared with the Dashun Army's record, the Yuyuan Army's record is indeed much worse. The Dashun Army has killed at least 4,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers in the past five months, including the heads of the Zuo Ling (Niu Lu Ezhen), the heads of the Gange (Jara Ezhen), and even the heads of the deputy commander (Meere Ezhen)! And here in the Yuyuan Army, at most there is one Mongolian Eight Banners Soldiers Guarding Academy (Zhuoda), and the rest are ordinary Eight Banners soldiers. Among the heads of the Green Camp, there are only two general heads of the general.

"No," Zhao Peng said with a smile, "The prince's record is OK. The real slave has a sparse population and pieces of things. Sooner or later, it will be exhausted from the elite Jiannu!"

Zhu Yihai next introduced the situation of the Yuyuan Army fighting against the Qing army several times: if the battle was head-on, the Yuyuan Army would definitely not be the opponent of the Qing army. Not to mention the Eight Banners soldiers, even the Green Camp soldiers could not defeat them. However, the Yuyuan Army cleverly used the method of tunnel warfare (the tunnel warfare of the Yuyuan Army was a historical fact, and was later broken by Zhang Cunren's water attack), and killed the Qing army in elusive ways.

Every time the Qing army came, even the figure of the Yuyuan Army could not be found. However, there were hidden shooting holes in the clever tunnel entrance. The Yuyuan Army hid behind the shooting holes and shot with bird guns and bows, causing certain casualties to the Qing army.
