Chapter Eighty-Seven: Military Talent
Qian Yuan, Sun Kehong, Lu Shude and his entourage took a boat from Qingpu County to enter Jiaxing Mansion by boat, and the wind and waves were calm along the way, and everyone leisurely drank tea and chatted on the boat, occasionally joking and mocking Qian Yuan's timidity.
This time, Qian Yuan, who spared his life, only left three nursing homes, and the rest were all brought out, and they were all fully armed.
Just when the people on the boat began to discuss the epitaph written by Wen Zhengming for Qian Rui, the city of Hangzhou fell into a panic.
To be precise, most of the panic appeared in the governor's yamen, where Qian Yuan once showed his skills.
It wasn't hot in April, but the round-faced old man on the main seat in the lobby was wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Tu Dashan, a jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, served as the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, and later transferred to the governor of Yingtian, and not long ago succeeded as the governor of Zhejiang and the commander of military affairs under the recommendation of Xu Jie.
Unlike other people in the DPRK and China, Tu Dashan served in the Nanjing Military Department for many years, and his judgment of the Japanese in the southeast coast was completely different from that of the people in the capital.
To tell the truth, he didn't want to sit on the crater of the governor of Zhejiang, and even he had begun to resent the one behind him, his predecessor Peng Dian was imprisoned, but his life was all right, but he ......
Just last night, a large number of Japanese robbers landed in Haining County, and instead of plundering the countryside, they rushed to Hangzhou with a clear goal.
Hangzhou is heavily guarded, and Tang Kekuan, who was demoted to a general, is now stationed in Hangzhou with his army, but the Japanese do not seem to have taken the former deputy general of Zhejiang in their eyes.
As of noon today, the Japanese still attacked and did not retreat, and most of the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou were not invaded by the Japanese invaders, which is understandable, because Hangzhou City was in the way, but one county was unlucky.
This is Yuhang County, located in the north of Hangzhou.
Tu Dashan was very aware of the importance of Yuhang County, which was not only a provocation by the Japanese to the Hangzhou government, but also a great threat to Caoyun.
Because Yuhang County is the main starting point and freight gathering place at the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, once Yuhang is lost, Tu Dashan feels that not only himself, but also his family will be affected.
This makes Tu Dashan, who is already close to the age of sixteen, not complain, how not to resent the same year in the court.
Wiping his sweat again, Tu Dashan tried to keep his voice steady, "When will Yu Dayou arrive?" ”
The staff below glanced at each other, and the letter for help was sent out four hours ago, and Yu Dayou didn't have wings, so he could fly over from Songjiang......
A young military general outside the lobby lowered his head to hide the disdain in his eyes, saying that Tu Dashan purged the troops of Nanzhili when he was appointed governor of Yingtian, and won three battles in Taihu Lake, and was able to enter the governor of Zhejiang, which now seems to be really not worthy of the name.
A staff member went out to explain to the people outside the hall in detail, suppressed the riots in the city, sent more people to various places to ask for help, and finally whispered to the young general: "Yuan Jing, you go back to the barracks first, something will be reported." ”
Although he is young, Qi Jiguang is very good at doing things, handles interpersonal relationships very well, and can even exchange a few lines of poetry with a few staff members in the governor's yamen, which makes these literati not regard him as a military general.
"Yes." Qi Jiguang, a guerrilla general who had been in office for half a month, had a calm face on his face, although he was in his heart with the timidity of the governor in the hall of contempt, with the current strength of the Hangzhou Mansion, even if he could not win, the defense should not be a big problem.
After returning to the camp, he looked at the scattered soldiers, Qi Jiguang shook his head, and went straight into the house to stand on the map he had just gotten his hands on.
This is a map of the whole province of Zhejiang and the Songjiang Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture in the south of Zhili, and Qi Jiguang is Jiangmen, and after he has been trained in Jimen and Dengzhou, he naturally knows that familiarity with geography is the primary condition for combat.
After watching it for a long time, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Although he has only been on the battlefield four or five times so far, and they are all very small in scale, although he is a newcomer, Qi Jiguang is very keen to find that something is not right.
His intuition told him that this battle was not so simple.
Qi Jiguang has a military talent that is incomparable to ordinary people, but he is not the only one with such talent.
……
On a hill outside Zhapu Town, Pinghu County, Jiaxing Prefecture.
The young man in soft armor looked left and right with great ambition, and the big air behind him was blown up by the sea breeze, hunting in the air.
On the east side of the hill is an endless stretch of sea, on the west and north sides are steep hills, and on the south side is a smooth road.
"It's coming!"
"It's coming!"
The man with a numb face laughed and walked up the mountainside, affectionately trying to pat the young man's shoulder, but the coldness in the other party's eyes made his hand stiff, so he could only withdraw his hand and say with a smile: "It's still Brother Xu's clever calculation, the tiger is really out of the hole." ”
"And rightfully so." Xu Hai smiled lightly, and patted the man's shoulder in turn, "Brother Ye wait, as long as you kill this tiger, the officers and soldiers will definitely lose their hearts!" ”
Looking back at the south side of the hill, Xu Hai mocked the clumsiness of his peers in his heart with disdain, but this is not a bad thing, at least it has helped him a lot.
Xu Hai has always thought that he is different, even when he was a novice in Hangzhou Hupao Temple.
Indeed, although there is no generalization in their families of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, Xu Hai has a natural military talent.
After the 27th year of Jiajing, in addition to Taizhou, the southeast coast suffered the most serious invasion by the Japanese invaders in Haining County and Haiyan County.
The reason is very simple, it is suitable for landing, the inhabitants are rich, and after landing, it is all flat land, so it is easy to get it...... The villagers had nowhere to hide if they wanted to.
But at the same time, the Ming army was also able to gather in large numbers to strangle the Japanese invaders, and the two sides fought into a pot of porridge.
However, Xu Hai chose Pinghu County, which is not far away, which is different from Haiyan and Haining, although the mountains are not very dangerous, but there are many hills, which are easy to hide.
The people who were plundered could hide, and so could the robbers who came ashore.
Unlike other maritime leaders, Xu Hai has always had the restless elements of adventure and force flowing in his blood.
Unlike other would-be robbers who only wanted to find meat to eat and didn't dare to gnaw on bones, Xu Hai set his sights on Yu Dayou, the most prestigious man on the southeast coast.
Yu Dayou has been stationed in the area of Chuansha and Jinshan for more than half a year, and there are almost no Japanese robbers to provoke this tiger, even if some of them do not give up, they only dare to land from Liujiagang to find trouble in Chongming, Jiading and even Tongzhou.
"Brother Xu, Yu Hang's side...... Ha ha! The pock-faced man couldn't help but gloat, "Looking back, I guessed that I was going to scold my mother." ”
"And no one forced them to rob Yuhang." Xu Hai had a pair of triangular eyes, and his squinted eyes revealed pride. "Let's get back to it."
Hearing this, the pock-faced man shuddered, he knew what this accomplice's idea was, and Yu Hang's counterparts might even be swallowed clean in the future.
Xu Hai is a smart man, he cleverly released a series of news to his peers, and planned for several months before the Japanese invaded Yuhang.
So, Xu Hai had this opportunity.
As he had planned, the governor Yamen couldn't wait to recall Yu Dayou, who had to pass through Pinghu County.
The Jinshan area is off the coast, and it is impossible for Yu Dayou to let the army detour north to Qingpu County by water, not to mention the time-consuming, and there are not so many ships in Qingpu County.
Then, Yu Dayou can only go along the coast, pass through Pinghu County through Yaqian Town, and then insert it diagonally into Yuhang through Haiyan and Haining.
Xu Hai knew very well that as long as Yu Dayou was defeated, Songjiang and Jiaxing would no longer have any strength to restrain themselves in a short period of time.
"Brother Xu, let's go?" The numb-faced man's surname is Ye, and others call him Ye Ma.
"Let's go." Xu Hai nodded, turned sideways and asked, "Chongde County has arranged people?" ”
"Don't worry." Ye Ma said with a big grin: "Brother Xu suffered last time, this time brother avenged you, that teacher surnamed Shen right?" ”
Xu Hai's triangular eyes revealed a complicated look, with a vicious light, and he had already figured out how to toss the old man; There is also a trace of warmth, if it weren't for the pair of sisters, they would have died in obscurity in Chongde County.
