More than a dozen ships followed the Daqing River to the vicinity of the Sixteenth Fort and entered Ziya from Xihe to Haikou, Tianjin. During this period, they naturally encountered many obstacles. Some sections of the river surface were narrow. Fortunately, the imperial court had mobilized local officials to order civilians to widen the river surface. The ships had been traveling for more than a month and finally arrived in Tianjin. It was almost the Spring Festival, but Tianjin City did not have a trace of festive celebration. There were soldiers and civilians who built forts on the coast.

Shi Lang's warship slowly approached the dock, broke down and took a boat. Li Guangdi had already brought a group of officials to welcome him on the dock. Logically speaking, Li Guangdi was a Tianjin inspector. Although he was a sixth-rank civil servant, he was a higher grade than Shi Lang's guerrilla general. However, according to power division, Shi Lang was also a military general under Tianjin inspector. Therefore, Li Guangdi did not need to come out to greet him. Li Guangdi was willing to avoid this, but after thinking about it, he still came. Anyway, others only thought that Li Guangdi wanted to give Shi Lang an impression that everyone would work together in the future, and they were not afraid of anyone saying it.

Shi Lang walked down from the sampan and saw Li Guangdi among the crowd of officials from afar. He had accelerated his pace: "Mr. Li is so polite. What kind of virtue does Shi Lang have? How can you let Lord Li personally welcome him? It's a sin, a sin."

"Where is this? I am ordered to inspect Tianjin Port. To protect Tianjin Port, we must rely more on General Shi Lang." Li Guangdi said a few words of shameful face, which made the two of them seem to have no deep friendship.

Then the officials greeted each other, which one should bow and who should hold hands without any confusion. Then they exchanged greetings for a while, and the civil servants sat back in the sedan chair. The military officers rode on high horses and entered the city surrounded by their own Goshha. Li Guangdi had already set up a banquet in the local yamen. After a meal, it was already afternoon. The officials dispersed. Li Guangdi and Shi Lang still did not move. Until there were fewer and fewer people, Li Guangdi stood up and said to Shi Lang with a smile: "General Shi Lang, I have heard of your name for a long time. For example, Tianjin's defense is on your shoulders today. If General Shi Lang has free time, go to Li's official office to talk about how Tianjin's defense is?"

Shi Lang looked at Li Guangdi in front of Li Guangdi, and everything was silent. He said with a smile: "Sir, how dare you not go? Please lead the way first.

”

Li Guangdi smiled and was polite to Shi Lang. Then he walked out first and said goodbye to the few remaining officials at the banquet.

When they arrived at the inspection yamen, Li Guang got out of the sedan chair, and Shi Lang also turned over and got off the horse. The two entered the yamen side by side, walked through the front hall, passed through the hole, and finally stopped in front of an ear room. Li Guangdi made a call. Shi Lang smiled and didn't hesitate. When they went in first, they sat down with the guest and host, and Li Guangdi's family went to pour tea for them.

Because there were people around, the two of them were talking about things. It was nothing more than how General Shi Lang was in Baiyangdian, how I was in the Qing Dynasty, and how I was like a navy in the Qing Dynasty. When my family brought tea cups, Li Guangdi waved his hand and let the family go down.

At this time, there were only Li Guangdi and Shi Lang in the room. The two of them looked at each other. Li Guangdi deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Brother Hunter. News has been heard from the south. In a month, the Beiyang Navy will arrive in Tianjin."

Shi Lang was originally a storm. Otherwise, he would not have turned against Zheng Chenggong and became enemies. He was so uncontrollable. However, after escaping from Jinxia to the Qing Dynasty, his nature changed a lot, so there was no fierce expression on his face. He only said lightly: "Okay. The fortifications along the coast are the responsibility of the adults. The last one will be responsible for the trouble. This matter will be accomplished."

After all, Li Guangdi was young. Although his personality was deep, he was already excited at this moment: "This is the destiny of heaven to defeat Jiannu. Kangxi actually asked General Shi Lang to command the warships and then assigned the general to Li's jurisdiction." Li Guangdi's face suddenly changed again: "Oh. Why should General Shi Lang be tense every day? Li knew the pain of the general. Although Zheng Jing was the prince of Yanping, life was not easy. Now it is better to put national justice first."

Shi Lang nodded: "Don't the general know this truth? The king's army heads north. It was Shi Lang's flattery. In the past, Mo Jiang was blinded by hatred and became a lackey for Manchus. Now, in addition to being full of guilt towards his father and brother, he still feels regretful. My father teaches Mo Jiang and his brother on weekdays that we always take the world as our responsibility. We should learn from Yue Wumu to be a loyal man who serves the country and expels the Tartars. Alas..."

Shi Lang, a man in his forties, had layers of mist in his eyes at this time. Things in the world were really messing with people. His father taught him to understand the righteousness of the nation. During the national crisis, he even sacrificed his life to expel the Tartars. The father and son joined Zheng Chenggong together.

Merit was the main force of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and the battle against the land was also the banner of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty. However, because his temper and Zheng Chenggong had such friction, he turned against him and became enemies. Zheng Chenggong killed his whole family and died. In the end, he had to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and vowed to avenge his father.

Although Li Guangdi could not understand Shi Lang's state of mind, he still felt a little empathy. After sighing for a while, he said: "The general's father and brother are both men from the Han family. His lifelong aspirations were to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty and save the people. At this time, the general should be more cheerful and show his father and brother's ambitions today."

Shi Lang emphasized: "Don't worry, Lord Li, Shi Lang is no longer the rude and violent Shi Lang. Lord Li's plan will be careful and will be buried at the bottom of the sea."

Li Guangdi smiled: "The general is serious. Isn't it a pity to bury all of them at the bottom of the sea? It would be better to capture the warships and use them for me to use the Ming Navy."

Shi Lang also laughed, and the two of them talked for a while. At this time, the male servant shouted outside the house: "Master, the shopkeeper Zhang from Lichunfang is asking for a visit." The old servant's voice was obviously a bit unfair. He was the servant of the Li Guangdi family, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the master being approached by the owner of the Bitch House, and he was a little blamed in his voice.

Li Guangdi laughed and said to Shi Lang: "General, Li will introduce you to someone." After he finished speaking to Shi Lang, he said to the male servant outside the door: "Please ask Manager Zhang to come in."

A moment later, the door was pushed open, and a white-faced scholar in his thirties walked in, looked at Shi Lang, but it didn't seem abrupt at all, bowing to Shi Lang: "Is this the General Shi Lang that Brother Li often mentioned?"

Shi Lang quickly replied the gift, and he naturally knew that the owner of Lichunfang was just a guise of the man in front of him. Li Guangdi introduced on the side: "This is General Shi Lang. As for the Zhang brother, General Shi Lang, I'm afraid he doesn't know him, but Brother Zhang's father, Mr. Zhang Huangyan, must have heard of him?"

"Zhang Huangyan?" Shi Lang stared at the white-faced middle-aged man in front of him in surprise and hurriedly said, "Shi Jing, Shi Jing, it turns out that he is the young master of Mr. Cangshui."

For a time, Shi Lang seemed much more restrained. Zhang Huangyan was probably well-known in this era. He was a juren during the Chongzhen period. After Nanjing was lost, he raised an army with Qian Sule and others to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Later, he contacted the King of Lu, contacted 13 peasant troops, and cooperated with Zheng Chenggong, and personally led his troops to more than 20 cities in Anhui, and insisted on the fight against the Qing Dynasty for nearly 20 years. By the third year of Kangxi, he saw that the situation was hopeless and lived in seclusion. He was captured and killed. When he went to the execution ground, he was righteous and fearless. He looked up and looked up at Wushan, Hangzhou.

He sighed and said, "It's a pity that the country is so beautiful that it's a waste of blood!" Before his death, he wrote a poem called "The Desperate Poem": "I am on the 59th year of my year, and it's September 7th. The building is gone, and everything is over." When he was executed, he "sitted and received a knife" and refused to kneel down and was killed. At the same time, Luo Lun and others were killed. Two days before this, Zhang Huangyan's wife and only son were also killed in Zhenjiang. In order not to make him die, Zhang Huangyan's second nephew Chengsi, and the youngest son in front of him, was naturally Zhang Huangyan's nephew.

Zhang Huangyan was very famous at that time. During his 19-year battle career in the fight against the Qing army, Zhang Huangyan was born and died, traveling thousands of miles, crossing the Minjiang River three times, and entering the Yangtze River four times. He made outstanding achievements in war. After being captured, he did not tempt his official position, and vowed not to surrender. He also wrote a patriotic poem "Entering the Martial Arts" with great ambitions and passionate patriotic poem "Entering the Martial Arts" and "Song of the Longevity" to show his ambitions. Later, people in Jiangnan repeatedly secretly built ancestral halls for him to worship. During the Qianlong period, in order to win people's hearts, Qianlong had to give him the posthumous title of "Zhonglie".

To show respect.

"Out of the topic: From this we can see that if you want people to respect you, you are not a servile person. Those heroes who resisted the Qing Dynasty finally had to worship their enemies, and there were very few who became traitors and ended up with good consequences.

Li Guangdi said on the side: "Brother Zhang Shi is named Zhang Rucheng. He is now the Qianhu Envoy of Zhili, the Northern Fufu Department, and is in charge of the activities of Zhili Province. This operation was studied by Brother Zhang Shi and Li."

The three of them sat down again, and Zhang Rucheng said, "I heard that General Shi Lang and Brother Li returned to the yamen office to study 'Tianjin Defense', so they came to meet each other and asked General Shi Lang to forgive Zhang for being abrupt. In fact, this time Zhang came because some changes occurred in the south, and the plan should be modified appropriately."

When he heard something happened, Li Guangdi and Shi Lang seemed solemn. Zhang Rucheng comforted him: "It's not a bad thing, and you don't have to worry."
