Second Chance Chapter 1702

“Qin’er, why did you guys bring back chicken soup again?Is it too greasy for Brother Zhu’s liking?Or is brother Zhu taking the military discipline of the barracks seriously, people are not allowed to enter, and neither are things?”
Li Shu is arranging flowers, a blue and white porcelain vase with various colours of flowers and green leaves, some are dried flowers, some are fresh flowers, very lifelike, very pretty, saw that only went out of the painting and qin’er came back with chicken soup with flower gelatin, can not help but be surprised and asked.
“No miss.”Hua’er and Qin’er shook their heads, explaining “We arrived at the barracks, Liu Mu gave us said, a named Zhao Wenhua Qin, urgent order, let the aunt master led eight hundred people to go to Shazhou to assist in the sacrifice of the sea. Because of the urgency of the military situation, Auntie couldn’t even say goodbye to Miss before setting off with the men. However, Auntie purposely left a message for Miss, telling Miss to rest assured at home to recuperate, and that he would come to see Miss as soon as he returned from the Sea Sacrifice in Shazhou.”
“Oh ……” Li Shu heard that Zhu Pingan had gone to Shazhou, she couldn’t help but put down the flowers in her hand, no longer interested in arranging flowers.
“Miss, don’t be sad, I heard that the sea festival will be tomorrow, after the sea festival the aunt will be able to come back.”
Seeing Li Shu’s lost look, Qin’er and Painting’er hurriedly came forward to comfort her.
“The rumour of the sea festival is spreading like wildfire, everyone knows that the sea festival will be held in Shazhou tomorrow, how can the Japanese not know about it, they will surely take advantage of the opportunity to cause havoc.”Li Shu worriedly said.
“Ah …… no wonder the Fengqiao camp has sent so many soldiers out to patrol, so it’s because they’re worried about the Japanese making trouble.”
Qin’er and Painter froze, they didn’t think so much, thinking that if auntie brought soldiers to sacrifice the sea, it would just be a matter of kneeling and worshiping.
“Miss, don’t worry, Master is very powerful. It’s bad luck for the Japanese if they run into him.”
“Yes, yes, in the past, in Jingnan, only a few of his men and dozens of county magistrates under the Big Sword, he fought off thousands of Japanese invaders; in Yingtian, with 800 Zhejiang troops, he wiped out the Japanese invaders who were invincible all over the south of the Yangtze River; didn’t you say that he had trained a new army of 1,000 men who could run across the world?”
“Oh, even though this time, Master Auntie only brought eight hundred people with him, so he can’t go across the world, but there’s always no problem to go across the sandbar. Miss doesn’t need to worry.”
Painter and Qin’er both said one thing to each other, letting their own young lady not have to worry.
Li Shu walked to the window with lotus steps, folded her hands together, and prayerfully closed her eyes to the God and Buddha in the sky.
“Heejun has his wings, and he’s going to attack the fish in the northern underworld. Brother Zhu, we will wait for your safe return.”
After praying, Li Shu’s slender jade hand gently stroked her belly, looked out the window in the direction of the sandbar, and murmured in a low voice.
While Li Shu was praying, Zhu Pingan had already rushed to the site of the sea sacrifice at the sandbar with his 800 Zhejiang troops.
At this time, the sandbar had already changed greatly, the sandbar that was originally just a natural pier had now become a large-scale Jiaojiao sanctuary.
From afar, we can see the flagpole erected high on the sandbar, flying high with a long dragon flag.
An area of thousands of square feet of the altar rose up, above the enshrinement of a god, in the altar of the four directions of the east, west, south, north and south, also stood a large four sea dragon king phase.
In the centre of the altar, there is a huge stone pillar more than ten metres high, which is engraved with Taoist scriptures, and in the centre there are four huge stone characters in relief, “Sea God Needle”.
Er, this could not be the source of inspiration for the “Journey to the West” by Wu Chengnan ……
When Zhu Pingan saw this huge stone pillar, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but tug, as if Old Wu lived in this era, and the Journey to the West was also conceived and written around this time.
As far as I can remember, Lao Wu was repeatedly frustrated in the imperial examinations, and later became a yearly tribute student in the twentieth year of Jiajing, and in order to conveniently study at the State Prison on Chengxian Street in Nanjing, Lao Wu relocated to Yingtian and lived near Chengxian Street, making a living by selling literature.
Although the sea festival will not officially begin until tomorrow, but there are already a lot of people watching from afar.
According to the radius of Lao Wu’s life, maybe, maybe, Lao Wu was among these people watching. Or, when the sea sacrifice is officially held tomorrow, it is possible that Comrade Old Wu will come to see the fun while reading.
Such a large-scale sea sacrifice is a rare occurrence in decades, so it is only natural that he would come to see the fun.
Zhu Pingan’s thoughts are being led by this ten metre high huge sea defining needle pillar when he heard a familiar voice from his ears, “Hahaha, nephew, you’re here. I purposely reserved a piece of land beside my Jianghuai camp for you to set up camp.”
Zhu Pingan looked up and saw Marquis Linhuai surrounded by a number of generals, who was walking towards himself with a smiling face.
Like himself, Lin Huai Hou was wearing a military uniform with full armour shawl, it was rare to find oversized armour that he could fit under, it must have been specially customised. However, the obese Lin Huai Hou, after wearing the armour, the tonnage was there, looking like a
Bear-like, visually it was quite a great general.
At the moment the Linhuai Hou has been Jianghuai deputy general, stationed in Jinshan Wei, rectify the Jiangyang, the total system of the Huaihai, shaving the sea defence, he is stationed in Jinshan Wei is one of the four famous guards of the Ming Dynasty, is a military town, is a masonry city, there is a “stone”, “the head of the city (yingtian),” “the city of the city (yingtian).
The head of the city (Yingtian) under the first city” reputation, the location is in Shanghai, not far from the Shazhou.
The principle of proximity, he was Zhao Wenhua ordered to transfer, with troops to assist in the sea sacrifice, is also reasonable.
“Greetings uncle.”Zhu Pingan rolled over and dismounted, walking towards Marquis Linhuai, arching his hand in obeisance.
“What’s the point of being polite between our uncle and nephew, go go go, take your soldiers and follow me. The piece of land I left for you, with wind and water and still flat, is definitely a good place to set up camp.”
Marquis Linhuai said with an enthusiastic face, and tugged Zhu Pingan’s arm forward without refusal.
Well, verified, Linhuai Hou is not fat, really have a handful of strength, Zhu Pingan really can not refuse.
Of course, Zhu Pingan also did not reject the idea, after all, just a temporary camp, next to Linhuai Hou’s Jianghuai camp is nothing.
Soon, Zhu Pingan led the Zhejian army to the place where the Marquis of Linhuai’s JAC camp was camped.
It was a grassy area next to the woods, the terrain was flat, and there was a meandering stream not too far away, it was indeed a good place to camp.
Looking at the number of tents in the Jianghuai camp, Zhu Pingan projected that Lin Qiao Jiao had brought about three thousand men and horses some times.
However, although it is a temporary camp, the defence of the Jianghuai camp is also too lax, there is no fence antlers, just see a few standing guard at the entrance, there are not even soldiers patrolling around.
“How about this place Xian Nephew?”Marquis Linhuai pointed to the reserved open space and asked Zhu Pingan with a self-satisfied face.
“Near the forest for easy access to materials, near the water for easy access to water, the terrain is flat, it is indeed a good place to set up camp.”Zhu Pingan praised without mincing words.
The smile on Linhuai Hou’s face suddenly grew even wider.
