Since the Military Information Department informed Tian Chuyun that Zhang Gongwei tried to lead troops into Anqing, Tian Chuyun was keenly aware that something was wrong and immediately ordered the Pili army to approach Anqing in order to prevent any trouble.

However, only one day after the Pili Army set out, Tian Chuyun suddenly received an order from Lin Chunhong's army, ordering everyone in the southeast camp to advance eastward immediately to Jixian Pass; and in addition, Li Mengshen led the navy to the surrounding area of ​​Anqing to inspect the passing ships and prevent all troop transport ships from approaching.

Tian Chuyun was shocked. The situation was probably much more serious than expected. He did not dare to slack off and immediately set off the camp to approach Anqing.

One day after the army set out, Tian Chuyun received a secret letter from Lin Chunhong. In the secret letter, Lin Chunhong clearly informed Tian Chuyun about the court's plan on the Anqing incident. Tian Chuyun suddenly realized the idea and made the three soldiers move towards Anqing with great enthusiasm. He made a huge noise. He also intentionally or unintentionally revealed that Jingzhou Prefecture urgently mobilized 60,000 archers to take charge of Wuchang as the reserve force for the Anqing Incident.

Therefore, Shi Kefa's exploration of horses easily explores Tian Chuyun's movements, which makes Shi Kefa and Du Yinxi feel like a storm is about to come and wind fill the building.

At the same time, Li Mengshen's navy gathered a large number of people and centipede ships to cruise around the water of the Yangtze River near Anqing, checking all unknown ships, and strictly preventing weapons and orbits from entering Anqing City.

After Li Mengshen learned about Zhang Gongwei's army, he immediately ordered the navy to intercept the officers and soldiers, and used the excuse of having thieves hidden among the officers and soldiers to forcibly board the ship for inspection.

This excuse is extremely crappy, but finally there is an excuse that it will not make the officers and soldiers and the navy openly turn against each other. However, the arrogant actions of the Yangtze River Navy almost blew Zhang Gongwei's lungs, and the proud officers and soldiers were extremely angry, and they all set their bows and arrows to aim at the centipede ship.

Changsha Island and Fengyi Island are located near Chizhou, dividing the Yangtze River into three, and only the middle waterway can be navigated. The centipede ship is like densely packed ants, blocking the waterway tightly and a sail cannot pass through.

When did Zhang Gongwei receive this anger after his merits? It made people keep shouting, and Li Mengshen immediately let go of the waterway, otherwise he would be punished for rebellion.

Li Mengshen got out of the cabin and couldn't help laughing, saying to his side: "Grandpa, I have been traversing the Yangtze River for nearly ten years. I have done something like treason and robbing money. I actually threatened my grandpa, and I was so brave that I ate the bear heart and leopard! In a word, it's his mother piece of wood, and I'm not allowed to cross this line today!"

After saying that, Li Mengshen ordered loudly: "Shot a few fucking shots to wake up these dog soldiers. It's nothing bad to be clamored under the fire!"

With Li Mengshen's order, three centipede ships crossed their bodies, without aiming, and set off several cannons in the open space. Amid the rumbling sound, solid shells fell into the yellow river water, arousing more than a foot high of water, and scaring the officers and soldiers.

"Bang...beat me hard...grandma, scare these bastards to death..." After the artillery fire, Li Mengshen was still unsatisfied and started to whim, causing the entire army to beat the war drums, stirring the nearby Yangtze River to a boil, which was very lively.

The drummer was very happy and beat the war drums with bare shirtless. The intense and bright drum sounded all the navy soldiers, and they couldn't help but make drum noises, just as if they were about to launch a charge.

No wonder the soldiers vented so much. Since the establishment of the Yangtze River Navy, in addition to small-scale looting, they have been almost used as transportation teams, which has made all the morale of the generals of Jiangnan. Moreover, since Guo Mingyan became the governor of Jiangnan, even small-scale looting has been completely banned. According to Li Mengshen, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Yangtze River Navy have only paid money and not worked, which has become a decoration.

Now, just over twenty centipede ships blocked more than ten thousand officers and soldiers and couldn't move forward. The soldiers all shouted happily, feeling that they had finally got a place to use their skills.

Zhang Gongwei was furious, but looking at the black muzzle, he had to admit that in the eyes of the navy, if a conflict broke out, the ships that lasted for more than ten miles were not even considered a dish in the eyes of the navy. There was no other possibility except that the entire army was wiped out.

Zhang Gongwei regretted it very much. It was only more than twenty miles away from Tongyang Neihu. Once it entered the Neihu, the centipede ship would not dare to break in at all. If it had accelerated the itinerary a little and had already entered Anqing, why would it be so humiliated by Li Mengshen?

In desperation, Zhang Gongwei had to send someone to the shore and inform Shi Kefa of the matter by land, hoping that Shi Kefa would find a way to help the army enter the city.

In April, the southeastern wind prevails. When the boat goes upstream, it opens all the sails, and it is not slow, even faster than going downstream. When going downstream, generally, the boat needs to lower all the sails and walk downstream under the guidance of the Yangtze River flow.

If the owner is anxious, he can also open a sail. At this time, not only does the helmsman and the sail driver need to cooperate closely to control the ship to walk in a zigzag shape, but the helmsman also need to know the hydrological information of the Yangtze River well. Otherwise, if you are slacking off, the end of the ship's stranding.

At present, except for Jingzhou, there are no other merchants who have the ability to do this. Therefore, experienced boaters will know that these ships are closely related to the Jingzhou Group when they see the ship walking in a zigzag and heading eastward.

At this time, on the river west of Anqing, three three-masted merchant ships were forming a fleet, walking eastward with the words "Zhizi". On the bow of the first ship, Jia Siyi and Zheng Mengfan were standing.

Jia Siyi has long focused on the sea surface and it is difficult to step into the inland on weekdays. However, his past experience of running a boat on the Yangtze River has not been forgotten and he shows off in front of Zheng Mengfan:

"Boats on the river are not as good as oceans. You need to know the waterways well before you can sail. Alas... Two years ago, where were there so many ships on the Yangtze River? The three-masted sailboats here are from the shipbuilding workshop in Bailizhou. It is April now, and it is considered the peak season for ships on the Yangtze River, so there are so many ships coming and going. In winter, the northwest wind prevails. Except for ships going downstream, it is impossible to see ships going upstream. There is nothing else, but there is no power..."

Zheng Mengfan listened with relish and looked back at the loaded merchant ship and said, "I didn't expect that the ships on the Yangtze River were as hard as those on the sea. The goods transported this time were important, so there should be no mistakes."

Jia Siyi smiled and said, "No? We have brought thousands of stone refined gunpowder this time. If it explodes, we two brothers will be crushed to pieces!"

As the two were talking, suddenly a small boat carried seven or eight people, four people were shaking their oars, and the boat was walking very quickly, and they rushed towards the big boat. The small boat attracted the attention of the two people. Just as people were sending people to order the boat to turn, they heard a shout from the boat: "Sir Shi, the governor of Anlu, from today on, the cannon tests in Anqing City, and all ships are prohibited from passing!"
