Chapter 23 Login These four characters are said to come from the Yuewang Temple in Hangzhou and were handwritten by Yue Wumu himself.
Almost any scholar can know its allusions.
However, it has been at least more than 130 years since the Yue Wang Temple was established.
Not only did the Han family fulfill Wu Mu's last wish, even half of the southern half of the Yangtze River was not saved, and finally fell into the hands of foreigners.
Suddenly, a biting chill came from the handle of the knife and spread into the hearts of Fu Youde and Ding Dexing.
The direction of their trip is north, and they are about to set foot on the Chinese homeland north of the Yellow River.
Since Yue Wumu was unjustly killed, except for the Huai'an Army, no other army under the banner of the Han people has ever crossed the Yellow River.
The next half hour suddenly became extremely long.
The two people, who had long ceased to be young children on the battlefield, were almost waiting with their ears perked up.
Waiting for the assembly call from the upper deck, waiting for Zhu Chongjiu to call him.
However, what they were waiting for was only the sound of waves lapping against the side of the ship, "wow, wah, wah, wah", endless and endless.
You haven't really lost your way, right?
Are those Mongolians really not interested in the chief executive?
What if the warship hits the rocks?
What if there is an ambush at the destination?
Will General Manager Zhu rush to the front in person, just like the legendary Emperor Taizong Li Shimin did?
He made all the golden armor black, does that mean he wants to create a black armor army?
Thousands of thoughts surged up from the bottom of my heart like ocean waves.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.
The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became, making my chest tight, short of breath, and almost suffocating.
Just when the second general was going crazy with anxiety, the battleship under his feet suddenly slowed down, making him almost fall forward.
Immediately afterwards, a low voice sounded outside the door, short and clear, "The Guards Regiment, in capital units, assemble on the deck.
Follow the sailor's lantern, and when you reach the designated position, immediately sit down and stand by."
"Yes" a low response sounded from different locations in the cabin, and immediately, the ship's hull began to tremble slightly with the sound of busy footsteps.
The next moment, the cabin door was gently opened from the outside.
Xu Hongsan poked half of his head in and ordered in a very low voice, "Two generals, please bring your weapons and follow me to the deck.
Let's take the rope ladder at the back and take the The formal staircase is reserved for the brothers.”
"It's causing trouble to General Xu."
Fu Youde and Ding Dexing jumped up and followed Xu Hongsan quickly.
The three of them used the faint lights in the large cabin to avoid the busy figures and quickly arrived at the rope ladder leading to the top deck.
Then they climbed up the rope ladder and filed up.
In a few breaths, they reached the top of the battleship.
On the top deck, many soldiers of the Guards Regiment were already standing.
Each man held a short wooden stick in his mouth to avoid making too much noise.
Because of the need to maintain the balance of the battleship, they were not completely concentrated in one place.
Instead, under the guidance of the sailors, according to the order of coming up, thirty people in a cluster, thirty people in a cluster, evenly distributed in various locations.
In the center of the deck near the main mast, there is a temporary command platform.
Zhu Chongjiu was standing on it, holding the railing with one hand and pointing at the sea with the other hand.
The staff around him were obviously highly trained.
After listening to a sentence, they quickly used several special messenger lights to hit the observation deck on the top of the main mast in several different color combinations.
On the observation deck, someone immediately used a larger signaling light to send a series of colorful signals to the ships behind.
Soon, lights formed a cluster above the entire fleet, like stars shining in the night sky.
"Why did the sail come down?"
Fu Youde suddenly observed a subtle detail, widened his eyes, and whispered to himself.
Except for the command podium, everything was quiet.

He didn't dare to ask anyone.
I can only twist my head and try to find the answer myself.
Soon it became clear to him where the answer lay.
In addition to the sound of waves, there was another kind of sound outside the ship's side.
Very neat, but very humble, every time "swipe, brush, brush, brush, brush" is heard, the battleship underfoot is pushed forward and to the left several feet.
Someone was paddling, no wonder the boat was still moving in the same direction after the sail was dropped.
Fu Youde breathed out gently to relieve the tension in his heart.
Abandoning the sail and using an oar meant that the landing point was very close.
Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the speed of the battleship more accurately.
But what about lights?
At this time, lights are still used to convey orders.
Are you not afraid of being discovered by the enemy troops on the shore?
Or is Manager Zhu absolutely sure that there are no enemy troops nearby?
It was very dark on the sea, and no other light could be seen except for the lights hanging on the mast of the fleet that were flickering.
But the sky was filled with red clouds from unknown time, covering all the moon and stars, and not a single one was visible.
If you were a bandit before, this would definitely be a good time to attack the landlord's stronghold.
Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, the brothers can be quietly pulled outside the fortress.
Then he sent a dozen agile brothers to use flying grabs tied with ropes to set up on the wall and climb up.
Before Zhuang Ding could react, he quickly opened the door.
"General Fu, General Fu, please come up to the command podium with me.
Chief Superintendent, please go up with General Ding."
Someone gently pulled his armor silk ribbon.
"Ah" Fu Youde was stunned, nodded, and quickly collected his chaotic thoughts from the night sky.
"Please come up to the command platform with me.
The chief manager, please go up together with General Ding," Yu Tonghai repeated in a low voice and gestured for the two of them to follow him.
Only then did Fu Youde realize that Xu Hongsan had disappeared, and it was another person who was leading the way for him.
He turned his suspicious eyes to Ding Dexing and was about to ask secretly.
But he saw the latter turning his head to the side of the ship and winking at him quietly.
General Xu went over there.
Fu Youde quickly turned his head and followed Ding Dexing's gaze.
I saw a figure that looked very much like Xu Hongsan, quickly falling off the side of the ship.
And behind him, followed an entire group of brothers.
Everyone took off their arms, holding a short blade in their mouths, and carrying a square and neat package behind their backs.
At this moment, a string of green flames suddenly jumped up in the darkness diagonally ahead.
Like a will-o'-the-wisp on a summer night, it quickly rolled around for a few times and then quickly extinguished.
Immediately following, there was another long string of faint green.
Flashes up and disappears with the same speed.
"Kick-kick-kick-kick-kick, ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha."
Several high-pitched bird calls suddenly sounded from where the will-o'-the-wisp went out.
Through the noisy sound of the waves, it was eerie.
That was the cry of a night owl, coupled with the flickering will-o'-the-wisps, it was enough to scare anyone walking at night out of their wits.
However, based on his many years of experience as a thief, Fu Youde clearly realized that it was not a real will-o'-the-wisp.
Real will-o'-the-wisps are not as bright and go out much more slowly.
It was an ointment specially made from the bones of rotting animals.
Just a small box can create a large will-o'-the-wisp.

There is a kind of swindler in the world who specializes in using this trick to blackmail wealthy people who don't know the truth and ask them to pay them to exorcise ghosts.
When Fu Youde became the king of Zhanshan, he had several minions under his command who were good at this.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck, hahaha, hahahaha, hahaha."
The night owl's calls became louder and louder, and more and more, accompanied by the artificially created will-o'-the-wisps, guided the battleship on the correct course.
The battleship's speed increased little by little, quickly closing the distance between itself and the will-o'-the-wisp.
But what was even faster was the sudden surge of starlight on the sea.
The same green color is as scary as the will-o'-the-wisps on the shore.
But all the starlight quickly converged near the will-o'-the-wisp, just like the lonely souls scattered on the sea for hundreds of years, running towards the hometown in their dreams.
"It's Xu Hongsan and the others.
They are setting up a small boat to explore the way for the army."
Fu Youde immediately understood who was responsible for those starlights.
Each warship will be equipped with several small boats.
A few months ago, when Zhu Chongjiu rescued them, he lowered the small boat from the battleship, and then the brothers paddled ashore and established a beachhead.
Tonight, we just repeated the tactics from last time.
It's just that the number of soldiers who landed was several times greater than last time.
The size of the entire fleet was several times larger than last time.
He suddenly felt a sense of relief, and all the tension and depression in his heart were instantly swept away.
And Yu Tonghai's voice came right from his ears, reminding him not to be distracted anymore, "General Fu, watch your step.
There are steps under your feet, be careful.
Don't trip on them."
"Thank you, Brother Yu."
Fu Youde responded politely, moved his legs and walked quickly towards Zhu Chongjiu.
There was a special seat reserved for him and Ding Dexing on the command platform.
Standing there, the two of them could see the whole battlefield more clearly, and they could more easily accept the dispatch of the general manager.
The sword in his hand has been thirsty for a long time, and he can feel the desire to drink blood coming from the blade.
"Stand here, cheer for the brothers with me."
However, Zhu Chongjiu took the lead and eliminated the possibility of the two of them charging into the battle.
"I promised everyone not to go ashore and cause trouble for them."
Each person put two drumsticks in their hands, and Zhu Chongjiu continued to order with a smile.
"When the fire on the shore is lit, come and play drums with me.
Wu Liangmou is better at sneak attacks in the middle of the night than the three of us."
"Yes" Fu Youde and Ding Dexing agreed straightforwardly, as if they had already served under Zhu Chongjiu for many years without any hesitation.
Gently putting down their swords and raising their drumsticks, they once again cast their gaze on the flickering will-o'-the-wisp.
The cries of the night owls have disappeared, and the starlight gathering from the sea will soon merge with the will-o’-the-wisps on the shore.
Two or three miles away, there were two rows of torches approaching quickly.
Accompanied by this, there was also a series of feeble horn-drawing sounds, "Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo."
The Yuan army stationed in this area finally noticed the anomaly and responded as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, their response was too slow.
"Boom" a huge five-color cannon suddenly jumped up from where the will-o'-the-wisps gathered and exploded rapidly in the night sky.
Note 1 "Dong", "dong", "dong", "dong", one after another, the five-color cannons jumped into the night sky and bloomed one after another.
In an instant, the entire night sky was filled with fallen flowers.
The land and sea were instantly illuminated as bright as day.
More than 600 soldiers of the Fifth Army who landed in small boats quickly took off their muskets wrapped in oil paper from behind and formed a small square formation in the direction where the Yuan army was coming.
The brothers of the Guards, led by Xu Hongsan, threw the packages behind them on the ground and quickly lit them one by one.
The jumping flames replaced the dimmed cherry blossoms in the night sky, illuminating the beach where the entire fleet landed.

"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong."
The sound of war drums sounded from all the warships, like thunder rolling across the sea.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong."
Amidst the deafening thunder, the huge battleship accelerated again, like an angry kun fish, rushing towards the beach illuminated by the fire. no hesitation Note 1: Five-color cannons, that is, fireworks, appeared no later than the Song Dynasty.
There are many records in history books that the Song Dynasty court set off fireworks to have fun with the people
