Wang Shouren shuttles through the cracks between all the pirates desperately fighting for the position of the pirate leader, and convinces these pirates to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

When recruiting these pirates, he did not promise them any benefits, and everywhere he went, he only said a word, to reduce the punishment of the imperial court with his military exploits.

This kind of edict is probably rare in history.

Naturally, not everyone is so easy to talk to, and they will also encounter that kind of vicious.

As soon as these people heard that they were from the imperial court, they didn't buy it at all.

When encountering these people, Wang Shouren inevitably moved some fists and feet, during which he was inevitably beaten, and he was inevitably beaten at the ghost gate.

Anyway, fortunately, I was lucky enough to come back alive in the end.

Wang Shouren and Liu Aliang wandered for a few days, and after returning to the Taizhou camp, they were obviously much thinner, and the injuries on the faces of several people were still obvious on their faces.

As soon as they met, Wang Shouren spoke: "The next task has been completed, and the 36 pirates on the sea have all promised to help the army pacify." ”

Wang Shouren was able to complete such a difficult current event, Xie Zhi was not surprised at all, Wang Shouren has always been a bull-like existence, and he has long been used to it.

Zhang Mao was more surprised and asked, "All those pirates agreed?" ”

Wang Shouren nodded and replied: "Yes, they have all agreed, and I promised that if they can fight bravely to kill the enemy when the peace is peaceful, the mistakes they have made can be written off, and their innocence can be restored." ”

Such a promise is the worst compared to Zhao'an, which is often high-ranking officials.

Zhu Houzhao was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "That's all?" ”

Wang Shouren also saw the joy and anger, and replied lightly: "Yes, that's all." ”

Zhu Houzhao came to his senses and asked, "How did you persuade and talk to this palace?" ”

Before Wang Shouren could speak, Liu Aliang on the side was about to introduce, but was snatched by Wang Shouren and said: "In a word, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and if they assist the Japanese to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty, that is to turn their backs on their ancestors, in the final analysis, they still have a conscience." ”

Liu Aliang is not the kind of person who snorts and shoots horses, he can rush to introduce Wang Shouren, which shows that he was impressed by Wang Shouren's ability.

And Wang Shouren interrupted Liu Aliang's introduction, which shows how indifferent his heart is.

People like Wang Shouren are already beyond ordinary people.

Since Wang Shouren was reluctant to introduce, Zhu Houzhao was silent, but he didn't insist on asking anymore.

Xie Zhi said: "That being the case, it's time to speed up the training of the soldiers, and the Japanese will never wait for our soldiers to be trained." ”

Zhang Mao then responded: "After the Jinchuan incident, the Japanese will attack at any time, and the selected ones will be formed first, once the enemy attack comes, it must be able to board the ship as soon as possible, and the soldiers of Yunzhongwei must step up to master the artillery on the treasure ship." ”

That night, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the mighty ships of the Japanese appeared in the East China Sea.

The first to discover the ships were the king's man.

Wang Haozi also carefully considered it after Wang Shouren's visit, it doesn't matter whether the court can pardon it, the key is that if he is with the Japanese Kou again, he will die without face to face the ancestors and ancestors, and he will not be able to face the descendants if he is alive.

Since the imperial court is determined to deal with the hidden dangers of the Japanese invaders, then he is also a member of the Ming Dynasty.

After his subordinates found the Japanese boats, they immediately reported to the Pingwan camp.

At this time, the lights had just been held, and Xie Zhi and the others were still discussing the layout of the next march.

The matter of pacifying the Japanese has attracted the attention of the whole world, and they have to pay attention.

Xie Zhi also knew very well that once he had any negligence in this peaceful matter, the impeachment excerpts of those who took the money would immediately be impeached on him like snowflakes.

When the time comes, Emperor Hongzhi may not necessarily protect him for the sake of the overall situation.

So now he has reached a place where there is no way to retreat, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he must have to break through hard.

"Zhang Shibo, I have to send someone to find out where the old nest of the widows is? When the time comes, it's time to deal a fatal blow. ”

Zhang Mao nodded in response, and then asked Wang Shouren, "Shouren, have you found out where the pirate's lair is?" ”

Wang Shouren also inquired about this matter, but unfortunately found nothing.

Wang Shouren replied: "Only Qiu Wu has been there, and the other pirates have never even seen the big leader of the Japanese Bandits, that is, a few people who have a good relationship with Qiu Wu know, and I don't know what the big leader's surname is." ”

Xie Zhi had never heard of it, and he knew that it was impossible for the surname to exist.

No matter what the surname is, it is not the most important, and Xie Zhi did not refute the news that Wang Shouren inquired.

Zhang Mao sighed and said, "If you don't understand this matter, it will be difficult to cut down those widows." ”

At this time, a soldier outside reported: "Governor, a pirate said that there is something urgent to report." ”

A few of them weren't the kind of people who looked at people with colored glasses.

Zhang Mao then shouted, "Bring people in." ”

Regardless of whether the matter is important or not, it is always necessary to meet people.

After the people brought in, they searched around the house, found Wang Shouren, and said, "Wang Yanshi, there are about 20 ships and more than 20 ships coming to Taizhou." ”

"What?" The first to exclaim was Zhu Houzhao.

Wang Shouren was quite calm and asked, "Is it true?" ”

The pirate replied: "It's absolutely true, it was the villain's own eyes, and then reported it to the chief, and the leader ordered the villain to immediately pass the news to Wang Yanshi, and Wang Yanshi should send troops to deal with it as soon as possible, and it will be too late." ”

Before Wang Shouren could speak, Zhang Mao said: "Someone is coming, send the scouts out, and find out the situation of the Japanese in detail." ”

On the one hand, the pirate's words cannot be fully trusted, and on the other hand, it really needs a real situation to facilitate the dispatch of troops.

After repeatedly waiting for the scout to set off, Zhang Mao directly ordered the pirate, saying, "If you are not on call at any time, wait for the attack." ”

After the pirate was ordered to go out, Zhang Mao immediately ordered the herald to prepare for boarding the ship.

The battle against pirates must be fought at sea.

Before the scouts could hear about it, all the soldiers had already boarded the ship.

The soldiers sent by the guards had not yet been inspected, so they had to be allowed to board the ship.

At the time of this embarkation, there were more than 10,000 soldiers capable of fighting, and more than 2,000 were in charge of piloting the treasure ship.

In total, the number of people who participated in the battle this time was at least 13,000.

After all the personnel had boarded the ship, they didn't wait long, and the scouts who had been sent out to inquire about the news returned.

"Governor, the situation is true, there are more than 20 treasure ships coming to Taizhou."

Zhang Mao looked at the night and said, "This day is just right, even if you are sure that there is no doubt about the Japanese invaders, there is no need to get close, let's fire a few shots first." ”

After Xie Zhi's improvement, Daming is now the top in both artillery and gunpowder.

The firing range of the artillery is several times that of the Japanese Invaders, and the gap is extremely obvious, only the Ming artillery fights the Japanese Invaders, and the Japanese Invaders are difficult to hurt the Ming even if they try their best.

After sailing for hundreds of nautical miles, the night was hazy and it was impossible to see the situation ahead, so Zhang Mao ordered all the treasure ships to stop sailing.

After the treasure ship stopped, Zhang Mao immediately ordered a team of soldiers to take a small boat to quickly find out the location and distance of the Japanese boat.

At this time, there are no advanced communication tools, so we can only use this cumbersome method.

The soldiers sent were the people of Taozhu Village led by Liu Aliang.

The water nature of these people is much stronger than that of the water guards, and it is more appropriate for them to do it.

Liu Aliang set off, Xie Zhi, Zhang Mao, Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao and his party stood on the deck.

There wasn't even a star tonight, and the course was impossible to grasp.

Without any radar to discern the direction, it is like being blind and deaf.

In such a situation, you can lose your way at any time.

Looking at the vast night, several people said in their hearts that they were not worried that it was fake.

I don't know how long it took, but Liu Daliang, who was sent out, finally came back.

Liu Aliang was extremely sensitive to the things in the sea, and estimated: "Dudu, judging from the voyage of the big ship of the Japanese Kou, it should be one hundred and two feet away from us now. ”

Zhang Mao was also unambiguous, and ordered: "All the artillery turns the muzzle and fires at 120 feet." ”

The night was hazy, and there was no human figure to be seen ten meters away, let alone the order passed on to the three sea ships.

There is no way, so I can only use the drum beat to pass the order.

Don't get me wrong, this method of drumming was not taught by Xie Zhi.

This method of transmitting news is very common in later spy war dramas, and someone can master it at this time, which shows how powerful the wisdom of the ancients is.
