Chapter 273: A flash in the pan

Zhen Dongxiu followed Yan Ying and went to see her new master with trepidation. But when she saw Li Luo, she was stunned.

"Gorou-kun!" Zhen Dongxiu's face was full of sorrow, and he couldn't help kneeling down, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be controlled, and tears immediately welled up.

She never imagined that the person who bought her was Gorou-kun...... No, he's supposed to be here to save himself.

Li Luo personally picked up the only woman who had made her feel a trace of maternal love, and patted her hand, "Aunt Zhen, why is this so!" ”

Last year, when he was in the Li family's town 'Lanchi Xiyuan', Zhen Dongxiu was very caring and considerate of him. Although she is a subordinate, Li Luo can feel her love for herself, obviously with maternal feelings. When she left Lanchi Xiyuan, she was the most reluctant.

This made Li Luo, who had never known his mother's love, somewhat warm. Moreover, Zhen Shangyuan is very smart and capable, even if he is the head of the female official in the palace, he is also competent.

"Gorou-kun... It's all the fault of the Beichen, who is not clean with his hands and feet, and has violated the Li family rules. Zhen Dongxiu lowered his head and said, with a sad smile, "Golang-kun still don't buy me...... Humble ministers, grateful, and self-ashamed. ”

Li Luo shook his head: "Aunt Zhen, I know that they wronged you." Now that you are no longer a slave of the city, can you not tell me the truth? ”

Zhen Dongxiu hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth to Gorou-kun, the only one she trusted.

"Actually... And didn't steal. The one who stole the gold and silver from the inner treasury was Saburo Jun Li Anju. However, he was discovered by me. After all, he is not a son-in-law, once the incident happens, at least he will not be able to pass the master's mother's pass. For fear that I would expose him, he instead said that I was stealing money and was found out by him. ”

Li Luo smiled: "You didn't defend yourself, did you?" Li Anju is very greedy for money, and his nickname is "Five Elements Lack of Gold", he is right.

Zhen Dongxiu nodded: "Beichen has no defense. ”

Li Luo couldn't help but secretly praise Zhen Dongxiu's cleverness, not ordinary cleverness, but extremely forbearant cleverness that ordinary people can't do.

If she pleads, she is a thief whether the head of the family believes her or not. Moreover, he was already a dead man, and he had already been beaten to death on the charge of being a slave and defiling his master.

The children of the Li family, how noble they are, how could they steal things? No way. There must be a minion to carry the black cauldron. If you are willing to carry the black cauldron, there may be a way to live, and if you are not willing to carry the black cauldron, then go to death.

With Li Sign's shrewdness, he would definitely believe that it was his money-greedy concubine Li Anju who stole things, not the loyal Zhen Dongxiu. However, Li Qian is an old politician, how can he not know how to weigh the pros and cons?

For the sake of reputation, of course, Zhen Dongxiu can only be named a thief. Of course, because Zhen Dongxiu obediently admitted it, without any excuses, for the sake of her two generations of serving the Li family, she finally did not beat her to death, but sold her.

This is already Li Sign's kindness, and thanks to Zhen Dongxiu's love for Li Signing and his wife on weekdays, otherwise he would still not be able to live.

Isn't Li Qian afraid that she will go out and talk nonsense? Unafraid. A minion who has been expelled says bad things about the original master, who will take it seriously? Isn't it funny that Li Langjun stole his own things?

Li Luo said: "Aunt Zhen will follow me in the future." There are a lot of chores in my inner courtyard, and there are more and more people, but my wife is not good at housekeeping. The errand of the chief steward has never had a suitable candidate. I think Aunt Zhen is just right. ”

Lijiawu Fort now has a lot of property, more and more servants, and the things in the inner house are very trivial. But the current few stewards are obviously incompetent. And Li Luo and Cui Xiuning are not good at it, and they don't like to manage housekeeping.

With Zhen Dongxiu, housekeeping doesn't have to worry about it. And her slave contract is now in her own hands, and legally she is already her own personal belonging.

If she hadn't been bought, even if she hadn't been trampled to death, her life would have been extremely difficult. Li Luo couldn't bear her to end up miserable.

More importantly, Zhen Dongxiu is not only smart and capable, but also loyal.

"Well, the humble minister is at the mercy of Gorou-kun's arrangement... Smecta. Zhen Dongxiu once again had a backbone, and he sincerely showed joy. She doesn't owe anything to the Renzhou Li family anymore, she will be Li Luolangjun's personal subordinate in the future.

Li Luo took Zhen Dongxiu back to Jianghuawu Fort, officially handed over the housekeeper power to Zhen Dongxiu, and then returned to Ninghai Prefecture again.

By this time it was already April 25th.

Cui Xiuning has not yet returned from Haidong.

Li Zhi and others from the Special Investigation Bureau have prepared a lot of information and are waiting to report to him.

"Boss, this is the intelligence of the war in Quanzhou." Li Zhi handed over a thin booklet, "I just arrived yesterday." This information did not come from Quanzhou, but was obtained by the Privy Council of Dadu and Li Yong. ”

Li Luo opened it and couldn't help laughing, some things made him expect, but some things were not expected.

On 16 April, the Zhejiang Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division attacked the "Song Dynasty" Navy Division in the waters of Quanzhou from the north and south, and the naval battle lasted for a whole day.

The cunning pirate leader Izuyunye Temple first took the initiative to approach the Guangdong Naval Division, and the distance between him and the Zhejiang Naval Division for half a day, and then concentrated the fleet to storm the Guangdong Naval Division.

The officers and men of the Guangdong Naval Division were all Han Chinese, the fighting spirit was not strong, the morale was low, and they trekked from the Guangdong Sea, and the troops were also small, so they were defeated in one fell swoop by the Izumo Noji Temple, which had the advantage of troops, with thousands of dead and wounded, and dozens of ships sunk.

By the time the Zhejiang sailors arrived, the Guangdong sailors had already suffered a lot of damage. And Izumono Temple used another plan to feign defeat and go south, leaving behind nearly 100 previously captured Fujian naval warships and supplies. When the officers and men of the Zhejiang Navy Division took the initiative to board the captured warship, the Japanese soldiers who were ambushed in the bottom of the warship suddenly came out, and then the main fleet of Izumono Temple killed again.

Many of the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Navy Division, who were confused by the spoils of war, did not have time to withdraw their warships, and their forces were extremely scattered, resulting in a great defeat and loss, and even the naval army Wanhu and Daru Huachi were killed by the Japanese invaders.

The Zhejiang Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division combined for 17,000 people, but there were only three or four thousand survivors, and the loss of warships was seven or eight out of ten, and it was already unbearable to fight again. Although the pirates also lost thousands, they still controlled the sea control of the Fujian Sea.

In the naval battle, the Yuan army lost, and it was ugly and very wimply.

But in the land battle, the Yuan army won unsurprisingly.

Outside Quanzhou, since the 15th, the Han generals Gao Gao and Huang Hua arrived with an army of 50,000 yuan and joined Wanzhedu, with a total strength of 90,000.

As a result, Wan Zhedu ordered 50,000 Han troops to attack the city, and only attacked one city gate, and the other three gates were left alone, allowing them to exchange news with the outside of the city.

At the same time, the small court of the Song Dynasty in Quanzhou City also completed the conferral of many Qinwang rebels near Quanzhou, and Zhao Chang issued an order to appoint Mrs. Xu as the general to protect the country, and concentrated on commanding dozens of rebel armies near Quanzhou, and finally glued into a "heavy army group".

Happy and Huang Hua's Han army siege equipment is readily available, and it fiercely attacks the city day and night. The small court of Quanzhou saw that the passive defense of the city would not be able to hold it sooner or later, so it decided to go out of the city to fight in the field and flank the Yuan army with Mrs. Xu's army.

The two armies faced each other, and on the same day of the naval battle, the battle began.

Chen Daju, who was named the important military affairs of Pingzhang, Xie Yuenlong, who was named the privy envoy, and Hattori Maruizo, who was appointed as the governor of the government, jointly led an army of 60,000 in the city to attack from the eastern city attacked by the traitor army.

Wan Zhedu simply ordered the traitor army to retreat a few miles, so that the Song army in the city could calmly leave the city.

At the same time, Madame Xu led an army of 70,000 united by dozens of anti-Yuan forces, which also appeared outside Quanzhou.

The Song army added up to 130,000, the Yuan army only 90,000, including 30,000 Tanma Red troops and 10,000 Mongol troops.

However, most of the Song army was improvised, and many of them were young and strong who had never fought before.

Wan Zhedu saw that the Song army was going to flank him, so he simply divided the Yuan army into two parts and fought each other. He ordered Huang Hua and the 50,000 traitor army of the happy to attack Mrs. Xu, and then personally led the 40,000 army of his headquarters to attack Chen Daju on the opposite side.

Facts have proved that Chen Daju has mainly been fighting guerrilla warfare with the Yuan army in the mountains in recent years, so he underestimated the strength of the Yuan army's iron cavalry. As a Japanese coward, Hattori Maruzo naturally has not been taught.

Li Luo did not observe this battle, and neither was the intelligence, so he could not describe it in detail. He only knew that a cavalry group of the Yuan army charged and defeated Chen Daju's army of 60,000. Wan Zhedu reported to the Privy Council that the casualties of the thieves were not counted.

Chen Daju and Xie Yuanlang only took thousands of people, surrounded the little emperor Zhao Chang, and fled to the ship of the Japanese at sea. They did not dare to go north, but fled south. Wan Zhedu reported that he might have fled to Nanyang.

And Mrs. Xu's army is inseparable from the traitor army who is happy with Huang Hua. But at the critical juncture, a rebel army suddenly defected and surrendered to Huang Hua, causing Mrs. Xu's army to be in turmoil, and the army collapsed under the enemy.

As a result, Mrs. Xu only fled the battlefield with tens of thousands of soldiers from her headquarters and plunged into Yunxiao Mountain.

At this point, the 130,000 Song army was almost wiped out, and Quanzhou fell into the hands of the Yuan army again.

The small court of Quanzhou, only half a month after its restoration, was destroyed again.

One-hit wonder.
