Cui Xiuning looked at the letter, frowned and said, "Now, two new problems have arisen. Maybe you ignored it. ”

"What?" Li Luo saw that her expression was a little solemn, and couldn't help but let go of her waist.

Cui Xiuning groaned and said: "Look, let's buy the Japanese to contain the Fujian sailors, will they pass through the Haidong Strait?" Is it possible to spot Haidong? If a large number of Japanese robbers discover Haidong, will there be Ningri in Haidong in the future? Isn't that a wolf in the house? ”

Li Luo's brows also furrowed. Haidong is separated from the mainland, that is, 300 miles by sea. The Japanese fleet passed through Haidong, and if the route was slightly further east, Haidong could be discovered.

"Then pilot! Send our men over to lead the way, and don't let the route of the Japanese fleet get close to Haidong. It was the same when the Japanese went back. Li Luo thought of a way.

Cui Xiuning nodded, "The Japanese must be used, without them, we can't contain Pu Shougeng's Fujian sailors." The only way to do that is to send someone to pilot. When the time comes, send Han Shao, he used to be a pirate, and he can speak Japanese, and he is also reliable. ”

Li Luo also agreed: "Just send Han Shao to contact the Japanese and be responsible for piloting." He was faithful and reliable. What about the second new question? ”

Cui Xiuning said: "The second new problem is that our purpose is only to let the Japanese invaders contain the Fujian Navy for a day and a night, not to let them really attack Quanzhou. Quanzhou... After all, it is the territory of Huaxia, how can it really let the Japanese invaders? If you really want to get in, what will happen to those murderous pirates? Most of the people in the city are Han Chinese. ”

Li Luo shook his head: "Daughter-in-law, are you too worried?" There are 9,000 people in the Fujian Navy, and the two big Japanese invaders add up to 4,000 people, and it is not easy for them to contain the Fujian Navy's division for a day and a night, where is the spare strength to really attack Quanzhou? ”

Cui Xiuning sneered: "I think you are careless, man." How do you know that there are only two gangs of pirates? The character of the Japanese Bandits, they like to hold together the most, these two Woko leaders, they should know a lot of samurai and other Wokos, right? As soon as they say hello, they may be able to gather tens of thousands of people! even really had the intention of capturing Quanzhou and killing and robbing. ”

Li Luo didn't refute, he suddenly felt that what Cui Xiuning said was possible, not that it would not happen.

Cui Xiuning continued: "Don't forget, the Yuan army is planning to capture Japan, how can the Japanese not hate? They were eager to give the Yuan Dynasty a knife, both for wealth and revenge. ”

"Quanzhou is the largest maritime trade city in the Yuan Dynasty, once Quanzhou is laid, it will gain huge benefits, and the Japanese can grab a lot of money, since they have decided to come, why not just play big?"

Li Luo listened to Cui Xiuning's words and thought for a while, "Then act on the opportunity." If the number of pirates is not large, we don't care. If there are a lot of them, we will help Chen Daju's righteous army capture Quanzhou first! Chen Daju captured Quanzhou first, and it would be difficult for the Japanese to fight again, and they didn't want to fight again. ”

Chen Daju captured Quanzhou first, and he must have benefited first. Seeing that the benefits have been taken away by their allies, the Japanese have no motivation.

Cui Xiuning said: "It can only be like this." Then we need to infiltrate some people in the city first, at least a few hundred people, as an internal response, and help Chen Da open the city gate at that time. ”

Then, the two discussed a lot of details before completing the final plan.

In this plan, the Yuan Army, the Righteous Army, the Japanese Kou, and Pu Shougeng were all involved, which can be called a big deal.

…………

Eight days later, Han Shao took a few people and a personal letter from Shaoji Nobuzi to Satsuma Province, located on the southern coast of Kyushu, and found a maritime merchant named Hattori Maruzo.

Judging from the surname of this maritime merchant, it is obvious that his ancestors have been broad.

Hattori Maruzuri is ostensibly a famous maritime merchant in Satsuma Province, but in fact he is the leader of the Japanese Bandits. In addition to being a merchant and a pirate, Hattori Maruza was also a samurai, a member of the Shogunate's "land" royal family, and had a manor by the sea.

The address given by Shao Er Xin is this seaside manor. Han Shao handed over the letter to the guards of the manor and handed it over, and was soon summoned and received by the other party.

When Han Shao saw Hattori Maruzo, the other party was wearing a short-sleeved "sword suit" and practicing "kendo" in the manor. He brandished an incomparably sharp sword, slashed at a dummy, and shouted, "Fight the building!" A knife split the dummy into two pieces, pulled a knife flower, and the fierce face of Su Yi was full of murderous anger.

This person is over forty years old, but he is strong and capable, his eyes are sharp, and at first glance he is the kind of martial artist who is accustomed to fighting and fighting all year round, and there is a majestic momentum of a superior person, which is not to be underestimated.

A woman with shaved eyebrows and blackened lips took small steps, stepped forward to wipe his sweat, and said softly: "The lord has been tired for a long time, and another guest has come to the door." Then, please take a rest. ”

Another woman also hurriedly served tea.

"In Xia Han Shao, I was sent by my lord Song Yishi and Zhenmin Heavenly King Chen Daju to meet the owner of the Hattori ship." Han Shao said respectfully.

"Han Jun, please sit down and drink tea." Hattori Maruzo returned the knife to its sheath, pointed to the desk on the grass, and sat down on his knees. Two samurai with swords, standing behind him to escort them.

"Thank you, the owner." Han Shao also knelt down and followed the customs.

Hattori Maruzo put away the letter of Shao Er's letter, looked at the spring light of the manor around him, and gently shook the folding fan and said: "The spring is warm and the grass is green, and the people are on the first few floors of Yunshan. ”

He looked a little melancholy, as if he missed Shao Erxinzi.

After chanting the waka, Hattori Maruza asked, "Are Shinzi-sama okay?" ”

Han Shaoqian bowed and said, "Lord Xinzi is very good, and he is very compatible with my father-in-law. He asked him to greet the owner of the ship on his behalf. Han Shao said as he took out a gift box, "This box of gems is a treasure in the mountains, and it is a gift from my father-in-law to the shipowner. ”

Hattori Maruzo took the gift box and opened it to see that it was five gems that he had never seen before, and a trace of fire flashed in his eyes.

These five gems are really worth a lot. Chen Daju's gift is very heavy.

"I'll thank Your Excellency King Zhenmin for the gift below." Hattori Maruzo bowed slightly and smiled. That look didn't look like a big widow at all.

"I will definitely do what I am told. Han Jun went back and told the King of Zhenmin that on April 2, the fleet under the fleet would knock on Quanzhou! Hattori Maruzo said.

As a Japanese samurai, it was not a day or two that he wanted to attack the coastal prefectures and counties of Mengyuan.

Because the Mongol Yuan was about to conquer Japan, stone ramparts were being built everywhere along the coast of Kyushu to block the landing of the Yuan army that would soon follow. It can be said that the Japanese people in the entire southwest province have been mobilized, and they are united in their hatred of the enemy.

If at this time, if you can take the initiative to attack and teach Meng Yuan a hard lesson, you can increase the prestige of the Japanese Divine Kingdom, and also breathe a sigh of relief for the samurai who have been suppressed for a long time.

In fact, passive defense has never been the style of the Japanese.

In the past few years, the Japanese government and the opposition have been discussing the conquest of the Yuan, and the shogunate ruling Hojo Tokimune once planned to divide his troops into two routes, all the way across the sea to occupy Goryeo, and attack the Yuan Dynasty Liaodong. All the way south to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang, occupying Lin'an and Jinling.

However, after repeated deductions and debates, both the shogunate and the imperial court agreed that the Mongol Yuan was too powerful and that the conquest of the Mongol Yuan would most likely fail, so they had to veto the "Expedition Yuan Theory".

It can be seen from this that the Japanese state was so arrogant that it solemnly discussed taking the initiative to conquer the Yuan Dynasty. As a matter of fact, the "Theory of Collecting Elements" was almost passed, and until now, the "Theory of Collecting Elements" still has a large market in Japan. In particular, many middle- and lower-class royal family warriors always shouted to take the initiative to attack the Yuan Dynasty before the Yuan army conquered.

Therefore, Hattori Maruzo was hired by Li Luo and agreed without much hesitation.

"Then thank you to the shipowner. My lord said that even if he couldn't jointly attack Quanzhou, as long as he could hold off the Fujian Navy Division of the Yuan Army for a day and a night, he would be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver. I just don't know, how many troops can the shipowner send? Han Shao said tentatively.

Hattori Maruzo laughed and said, "At least ten thousand!" ”

Han Shao's heart jumped, and he said in his heart, sure enough! The lord and lady expected it to be true.

"Oh? How can the owner of the ship send so many soldiers? Han Shao asked pretending to be surprised.

Hattori Maruzo said: "In the letter of Lord Shinzi, let Zaisha and Izumono Temple jointly send troops. There are more than 2,000 people under the command of Shimo, and there are more than 1,000 people in Izumono Temple, which adds up to 4,000. ”

"In addition, you can also invite other samurai maritime merchants, there are two or three thousand, and Izumono Temple can also invite one or two thousand, which adds up to four thousand!"

"There are also the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty on this island, the old department of Captain Zhang Shijie, and there are three thousand."

When Han Shao heard Hattori Maruzo's words, he calculated in his heart that there were more than 10,000 people in the Song Dynasty!

Hattori Maruzo actually has something to hide, and the account in his heart is far more than 10,000 people.

In addition, the remnants of the Goryeo Sanbetsu army were 2,000, and the volunteers of several other vassal states could also call on thousands of people to participate in the war.

The total strength of the three kingdoms that fought together... It can be close to 20,000!

"It turns out that the owner of the ship was able to invite so many samurai to participate in the battle, which is great!" Han Shao smiled, "My lord will definitely be more grateful to the shipowner." ”

Hattori Maru said: "There is no need to be grateful, it is all for the conquest of the barbarians, and the warriors of the Three Kingdoms should fight bloodily." However, I don't know how many soldiers and horses can be sent by the King of Zhenmin? ”

Chen Daju has been raising troops for several years, and he has always insisted on fighting against the Yuan in Yunxiao Mountain, and his reputation is far and wide, and Hattori Maruzo naturally knows it and respects Chen Daju.

Han Shao said: "My lord will lead 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, go east to Yunxiao Mountain, and besiege Quanzhou before the Yuan army reacts." ”

Hattori Maruzo said with a smile: "Then, our coalition army of tens of thousands of people, Quanzhou, which is Mongolian, will definitely not be guaranteed." ”

Han Shao said: "My lord said that as long as Quanzhou is captured, the goods of the rich merchants of Quanzhou will be owned by the two owners. ”

This was indeed said by Li Luo. He didn't feel sorry for those who returned to the maritime merchants, and they were robbed by the Japanese robbers, what did it matter to him? I don't feel sorry for those certain teachings.

Let the widows clean up, Li Luo can't help it.

Of course, what Hattori Wanzang never imagined was that it was not Chen Daju, the "King of Zhenmin", who cooperated with him at all, but Li Luo, whom he had never heard of.

ps: The Japanese will unite with the remnants of the Song Dynasty, Goryeo Sanbei, nearly 20,000 people will attack Quanzhou, and the sea merchants and a certain sect will be unlucky. Ask for support! Urgent!
