Chapter 481: Goal (II)
"Yu Dayou of Jiaxing Mansion is a hard bone, the main reason for winning in one fell swoop back then was that the guards were too wasteful, it's hard to say now, it's better not to gnaw on this hard bone."
"Songjiang Mansion is not much better, there are already sufficient troops, Suzhou, Changzhou, and Tongzhou have all transferred troops to the Susong area, besides, Yu Dayou is stationed in Jiaxing Mansion, maybe when he will stick a knife to the north."
"Tongzhou is far away, so many ships are difficult to hide, and they are not familiar with it."
"Hangzhou Mansion?"
"Mr. said with a smile, hahaha, it would be a good thing if he could break through Hangzhou Mansion, but it was a pity that Xu ...... However, when the White Lotus Sect started an incident last year, there was a chance, but unfortunately Yu Dayou wiped it out in one fell swoop. ”
Qian Rui, who had been silent and only occasionally asked questions, shook his head, "It's hard to say, if the general and the White Lotus Sect get together, it may not be a good thing." ”
"Why?" Xu Hai asked suspiciously, in early March, Ma Zushi started an incident in Huzhou and entered Jiaxing Mansion, and the remnants of the army also fled to Shaoxing, and the hundreds of Japanese robbers he sent out also took advantage of this to make a big fuss in Shaoxing Mansion.
"As early as four years ago, I asked the general that I had the idea of doing something big." Qian Rui said slowly: "The White Lotus Sect is never making trouble for money, it is just for rebellion...... Once it gets mixed up with the White Lotus Sect, I'm afraid that the imperial court will raise a large army. ”
"So what?" Wang Cuiqiao, who was pouring wine on the side, said, "I'm not afraid of how many people come......"
"Sir, you mean the border army?" Xu Hai coughed twice.
"The border army of the nine sides has always been an official army, and it has not been transferred south over the years, first, I am afraid that the water and soil will not adapt, second, the border army has always been unruly, and there are good and risky moves, third, Mongolia often invades the south, and fourth, it costs too much silver." Qian Rui explained them one by one, and finally said: "But if the general and the White Lotus Sect merge, it is tantamount to declaring that there is a rebellion, and the imperial court will definitely let the border army go south. ”
Xu Hai thought for a while, and slapped the table, "It's good that Mr. is here, otherwise it's really bad...... Fang La......"
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fang La raised troops and captured Hangzhou, the southeast armies could not be controlled, and swept through 52 counties in six continents in Zhejiang in just half a year, and finally Tong Guan led the Western Army to the south to quell the chaos, and Fang La's troops were defeated and captured.
Xu Hai doesn't read, otherwise he wouldn't let Wang Cuiqiao be half of his staff, but he knows Fang La, because Fang La is also from Huizhou, and he is also from Shexian County, and the relevant folk tales and legends Xu Hai heard it when he was young.
Xu Hai was only seeking wealth, and he didn't have any idea of rebelling and sitting on the emperor's throne at all.
"It's shallow under the wine, and I can't drink it anymore." Qian Rui shook his head, "Don't fight the idea of Hangzhou Mansion, then it seems that it can only be Ningshaotai." ”
"Stationed in Ningbo is Qi Jiguang, deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang, who was a general of Ning Shaotai last year, stationed in Taizhou, and was promoted to deputy chief soldier for merit." Xu Hai said with a smile: "Last year, there was no main force to attack Taizhou, and this person was quite good at killing those stragglers." ”
So far, Qi Jiguang's aura of a famous general has not been fully revealed, although he must win every battle in Taizhou, he has never played against the main force of the Japanese Invaders.
In fact, the so-called Qi family army was formed after Xu Hai's death in history, Wang Zhi was booby-trapped, and the world knew that the imperial court was treacherous, and knew that it was impossible to open the sea and ban trade, and the Qi family army came into being.
And in this life, Qi Jiguang will face Xu Hai head-on.
"Stationed in Taizhou is Ning Shaotai's general Lu Bin." The smile on Xu Hai's face disappeared, "Lu Bo's son is also an old opponent!" ”
"Chongde County seems to be this person back then?"
"Yes, and last year in Tongxiang County." Xu Hai gritted his teeth and said, "If there is a chance this time...... His son Lu Bo is all defeated under me! ”
"The general doesn't have to be obsessed." Qian Rui persuaded: "In the first battle of Chongde, the city is small and difficult to break, so it shouldn't be fought back then...... Oh, Qian lost his words. ”
"Those who don't know are not guilty, and Mr. didn't know that the concubine was in the city at that time." Wang Cuiqiao smiled and groaned disapprerovingly, thinking in his heart that if Xu Hai was killed, this Mr. Fang would not be able to escape death.
"Besides, in the battle of Tongxiang last year, the officers and soldiers were defeated, but they fought to the death, and Lao Tan escaped from the battle...... It can only be said that it is not a crime of war. Qian Rui continued: "If there is a chance, it is just a dignified kill, there is no need to go to him specifically." "Alignment
Qian Rui's words were not for Lu Bin's consideration...... Wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson are all in Taizhou!
Xu Hai hesitated for a while and then said, "Speaking of which, Shaoxing Mansion is the worst...... Liu Xian, a general in eastern Zhejiang, more than a month ago, but 300 main forces, plus more than 1,000 people who rushed to 7788, almost broke through Shanyin. ”
"How many soldiers are there?"
"About two or three thousand." Xu Hai shook his head, "Last year, there were only hundreds of main forces attacking Shanyin Huiji and Yuyao, and Liu Xian, who was stationed in Shaoxing Mansion at that time, was in a hurry, if he didn't know the news late, he would still want to go to Shaoxing Mansion to grab a hand." ”
"Then choose Shaoxing Mansion?"
Xu Hai touched his chin, "Sir, do you know that in the past month or so, almost all the widows who have been wandering in Shaoxing Mansion have been cleaned up. ”
"Jingguan?"
"It's the same Jingguan as last year's Changshui Town and Tongxiang County in Jiaxing Prefecture." Xu Hai snorted, "A Japanese head is exchanged for thirty taels of silver, the Huating Qian family is really ruthless!" ”
Qian Rui's face turned a little pale, and he reluctantly said: "Last time, I heard the general say that the Qian family patrolled Zhejiang, so he shouldn't be able to lead the army, right?" ”
"That's not true, the leader is a general, Qi Jimei...... It should be the brother of Qi Jiguang, deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang, and it was allocated to Taizhou Mansion. Xu Hai said casually: "But they have already returned to Taizhou five days ago." ”
Qian Rui's heart moved slightly, even if this kind of news is not secret, not everyone can know it, how did Xu Hai know it so clearly?
"That's Shaoxing Mansion?"
"I'll think again." Xu Hai said with a smile: "Anyway, there are few ships in the official army, if you encounter a large number of officers and soldiers, it is a big deal to change places." ”
Qian Rui nodded yes, feeling a little irritable, this is one of the characteristics of Xu Hai's command of the operation, before the war, there will only be a rough plan, and it will change at any time when it is implemented, and it is a bit of a taste of thinking about where to fight.
After withdrawing from the banquet, Qian Rui took a cup of tea and left, Wang Cuiqiao lay on Xu Hai's shoulder and said softly: "General, be careful, there are still people waiting at home." ”
Xu Hai smiled and said, "Okay, well, I will rest in your house before leaving...... Why don't you call Lushu too? ”
Wang Cui took a few sips, and slapped Xu Hai's shoulder with his small fist, "General, don't take Lao Tan this time?" ”
"Don't bring it, it was a big deal last time!" Xu Hai said coldly: "Or will I be defeated by Lu Bin and Qian Zhancai?" ”
"Okay, it's a pity, there are many literati and artists in Shaoxing Mansion, if Lao Tan goes, maybe he can grab some celebrity calligraphy and paintings."
"I'll keep an eye on it when the time comes." Xu Hai waved his hand, "Lao Tan stayed to guard the house, this time he is in charge of the family, if there is anything, you can directly order him." ”
Back in the house, Qian Rui ordered people to stand around, and then whispered: "It should be Shaoxing Mansion, or it may be Taizhou Mansion." ”
"Taizhou Mansion?" Qian Hong said in a lost voice: "I hurriedly sent a letter and asked my mother to go to Chuzhou and Jinhua to avoid it." ”
"You can't go, it's too much." Qian Rui walked back and forth a few steps, "Xu Hai will send troops soon, ships are coming and going these days, Tan Weiwei ships are going to be on trial, let him send people." ”
Looking at the anxious eyes of the eldest son, Qian Rui fixed his mind and said: "Let Yuan'er handle the affairs over there, you must know that he suggested moving to Hangzhou back then." ”
What Qian Rui means is that Qian Yuan moved his family to Hangzhou a few years ago, obviously, even if he disregards his own safety, he must ensure the safety of his family.
