And this fairyland on earth has become a hell on earth at this moment.

Blood flowed down the stone steps that meandered up, and the stalls on both sides of the stone path were all disrupted, and many things were discarded on the ground, and there was a mess, and from time to time a bloody corpse could be seen lying on the ground.

The bamboo shed of a shop built along the mountain path has half collapsed, and there seems to be a pillow hanging on the bamboo pole that is obliquely supported on the ground, but the blood droplets that are still dripping down the bamboo pole indicate that it is a baby in swaddling clothes, the young baby, which was worn onto the bamboo pole by human extermination, and this little life has spent a lifetime in the world not a few days ago.

The window of a house leaning on the street was open, and there was a young female corpse lying on the window, half of her body hung out of the window, her long messy hair hung down on the ground, she was ** body, she had obviously been humiliated before she died, blood trickled down from under her body along the stone wall, and the area under the wall became a puddle of blood.

In the depths of the alley, there was a whimpering cry, the sound waflickering among the smoke from the burning houses, and the exact location of some of the people who had been lucky enough to save their lives "remained hiding, probeing and trembling, not knowing if the murderous widows had left."

The county seat of Xiangshan was breached by the Japanese people.

Qiu Fu formulated a strategy of taking the initiative to attack and take the initiative to attack the Japanese, but he despised the power of the Japanese too much. Originally, the various guards set up by the sea could radiate to the surrounding larger towns within their control, and the Japanese did not dare to go too deep and attack the relatively well-defended cities. Passive defense is not a good idea, but it can protect relatively large cities.

Because of its proximity to the harbor, the county seat of Xiangshan has always been a place coveted by the Japanese invaders. It's just that there is not a thousand households near Xiangshan County, and the Japanese have no chance to take advantage of it. However, according to Qiu Fu's plan to take the initiative to attack, the soldiers and horses of the coastal guards were concentrated, and as a result, the Japanese people who had eyeliners in the coastal city knew their whereabouts well.

This time, the Ming army was successfully led away by the Japanese invaders, who only used hundreds of people to bluff to divert the main force of the Ming army from the mountain, but thousands of Japanese invaders suddenly appeared in Xiangshan Port, and rushed straight to the empty Xiangshan county inside, burning, killing and looting, almost slaughtering the city. Xiangshan County ordered the death of the entire county under the beastly lust and lust of the Japanese robbers, and turned into a human refinement............

Daji Mountain, Xu Hu stepped on land, only to feel that he was still standing on the deck, with a feeling of ups and downs.

Running around the sea for days, even a person like him, who has been begging for a living on the water since he was a child, is a little unbearable.

Xu Hu's beard was stubble, his eye sockets were deep, and his official uniform was wrinkled, he sat down on the rock tiredly and asked, "Isn't there any news of Yuxia yet?" ”

"No, the villain has already found the second master, and the second master said......"

It was a bearded man who spoke, wearing a military uniform of a hundred households, Xu Hu glanced at him, the man patted the back of his head for a long time, sighed, and changed his words: "The villain has found Lord Ren, and Lord Ren said that he would come and meet Lord Dusi as soon as possible." ”

Xu Hu nodded, sighed, and said, "Let everyone go to the island to rest for a while." ”

"Yes, Dadang ............, my lord, we can't fight like this, we have never fought this kind of nest battle, the widow said to gather together, said to disperse, this can't see the edge of the sea, if people don't want to fight against you, where do you catch him. What's more, in order to find someone, our ships were dismantled, and we found outnumbered people, so can we fight? Although we are accustomed to boats, we have never wandered around the sea like a headless fly day and night, especially in winter, when many of our brothers are sick. ”

Xu Hu said slowly: "It's really not a way to fight like this, I have already put forward my opinion to the top, but if the order is not down for a day, we have to insist." ”

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Tomorrow, go back to Shuangyu to replenish some food and water, and the damaged ship also needs to be towed back for repair." ”

The bearded man said, "Speaking of this ship, I get angry." The warships given to us were all eliminated by their sailors, and the artillery was blunt, and the last time the fire was blown up, it hurt several of our brothers, and now no one dares to use it, ***, everyone is a member of the imperial court, why do you raise us as stepmothers? ”

Xu Hu became angry and roared: "We were originally raised by our stepmother!" What nonsense are you talking about? Do things go! ”

The bearded man walked away with a chirp, and Xu Hu looked at the exhausted soldiers who were walking down from the ship, and sighed deeply.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The county town of Xiangshan was destroyed, the people were killed and wounded more than 10,000, and the operation of suppressing the Japanese invaders for more than a month did not achieve any results. Qiu Fu received the battle report and was shocked and angry, he knew the emperor's temperament, that is an extremely strong and competitive person, he originally boasted of Haikou, but as a result, with the majestic army of the Celestial Empire, the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese were encircled and suppressed, and the loss of troops was just that, Xiangshan County was almost slaughtered, once the emperor knew that Qiu Fu was secretly frightened, he immediately took this war report to see Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu was talking and laughing with his concubine Wang Ning and Chen Ying, the imperial envoy of Zuodu, in the small hall of the study.

The window was open, there was a light snow this morning, and the ground was covered with a thin patch of white, and the plum huā had already opened, and the dotted plum huā was embellished on the brown-black trunk, and the upper side of the trunk was covered with a hairy patch of white, and the bright red huā petals surrounded the icy and jade huā, swaying gently in the wind.

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Xiao Wang read history last night, and had a little experience, so he became a poem. ”

Chen Ying was surprised and said, "Is it His Highness's poem?" His Royal Highness's bravery, the world has heard of it, as for His Royal Highness's Hanmo, the minister has never seen it, today is really the right one! ”

Wang Ning also smiled and said: "The minister knows that His Highness is both martial and martial, but His Highness's Wenmo has never seen it, so I just want to appreciate it today." ”

Zhu Gaochu smiled slightly, got up and walked to the bookcase, spread out a jade plate Xuan, Chen Ying immediately rolled up his sleeves and studied ink for him.

Zhu Gaoxu thanked him for his chin, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote on the paper like a dragon and a snake: "Shu Shen Ping's small marriage, Jiaojiao's nose and Yingchang's nose blame An Ping-pun, poetry blames Haoran blames the factory's hands and new sentences, and it is different from the world's vulgarity." Chasing the ancient emperors, the gains and losses are commented on. Dirty and green study the traces of the heart, Dan lead is light. Knowing me and sinning against me, I am ashamed of his name. The cold moon shines on the window, and the garden is bright for me. The whole self-police is "cold like a ............ in the water"

Only picked up the pen and wrote the first line, Wang Ning had already applauded lightly and praised: "Good words!" His Royal Highness's calligraphy is majestic and agile, bold and magnificent, and it is in a unique style. ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled at the corner of his mouth, wrote this poem, gently put the pen on his pen and "took two steps back", and chuckled: "Please also ask the horse and Master Chen to evaluate and advise!" ”

"Ahh Your Highness's poem ......"

Chen Ying searched her intestines and scraped her belly" Just thinking about the words of sycophancy, the housekeeper of the palace hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Zhu Gaoxu's ear, Zhu Gaoxu's face changed slightly, and then he returned to his composure, and said to Wang Ning and Chen Ying: "Xiao Wang has some mundane things" and left for a while. So saying, he hurried out with the butler.

"Qiu Gong!"

In another study, Zhu Gaoxu said with a calm face: "It's New Year's Day soon!" Daming wants to change the Yuan Yongle, at this time, we give such a generous gift to our father? Hmph, do you think, will my father be happy! ”

Qiu Fu is a big old man, he only thought that with the temper of the emperor, he would not be able to accept the shame of the defeat of the imperial army at the hands of the little widows, but he didn't expect this meaning, as soon as he heard Zhu Gaoxu talk about it, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and continued: "Big brother knows that you are my person, you say, when he hears this good news, will he fall into the well and step on us?" ”

Qiu Fu's face was even more ugly.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "At the beginning of the new year, the envoys of various countries came to congratulate, and when they arrived in Jinling, they saw that the heavenly kingdom was really majestic, and they were beaten to the ground by a group of Japanese robbers. ”

Qiu Fu wiped a cold sweat and said, "Your Highness, the old minister is confused, but he didn't expect this layer, that ...... What shall we do? ”

Zhu Gaoxu paced a few steps in the room with a calm face, and suddenly asked, "Who knows this news now?" ”

Qiu Fu said: "The county commander, county officer, and county lieutenant of Xiangshan County were all killed in battle, and when our soldiers and horses rushed back, the people in the city, one or two out of ten, are now taken over by Luo Yu, and the news is that Luo Yu sent a fast horse to report it, so ............ It shouldn't have spread yet.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flashed, and he said categorically: "The magistrates of Xiangshan County are all dead, and the prefect's yamen will not know the news so quickly." Immediately sent someone to reply to the letter, asking Luo Yu to control the whole place for me, and the news must not be spread. In any case, after this year, don't add to my father's heart! ”

"Yes, yes, the old minister understands!"

"Xiangshan County belongs to Ningbo Mansion, this king will send someone to Ningbo Mansion to dredge up, if the Ningbo Governor hears the news, tell him to delay a moment or two, and don't report it for the time being. In the meantime, you must come back from a great victory, and it is better to capture some of the Japanese ships and capture some of the Japanese alive! One defeat and one victory, first defeat and then victory, two reports are presented together, so that the danger can be turned into a disaster and the wrath of my father and the emperor can be relieved! ”

"Yes, the old minister knows what to do, go back and arrange it immediately!"

Qiu Fu didn't have these eyes, but once someone gave him an idea on how to operate, he naturally understood.

"Wait!"

Zhu Gaoxu pursed his thin lips, revealing some cold ruthlessness, and said lightly: "What if...... You can't atone for your sins, you know what to do, right? ”

"Your Highness is saying?"

"Find a substitute for the dead!"

"The old minister understands!"

Chen Ying and Wang Ning were looking at the poem, and as soon as the door opened, Zhu Gaoxu walked in with a warm smile on his face, and said modestly: "Hehe, Xiao Wang's clumsy work, can you still get into the eyes of the two people?" ”
