Li Chengtai didn't ask more, so he went to pass the order, and soon Wu Pingyu didn't hesitate Cui Guangnan Yang Zhizhong and others hurriedly came, because it was a sudden call at night, and they were quite anxious to come, afraid that something would happen, and saw the east 'gate' Qing sitting firmly on the deck of Qing Huaxiang, with chairs lined up on both sides, and then he knew that there was nothing wrong. Yang Zhizhong said: "Boss, it's so late......"

Dong Men' Qing pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down first!" Let's talk about it when everyone is ready! ”

After a while, the important ministers arrived, and Yang Zhizhong asked again: "Master, is there anything wrong with calling us here so late?" ”

Dong'men' Keidao: "I've decided, fully support Matsuura!" Start tomorrow! ”

Yang Zhizhong thought to himself, didn't you decide early on? Why did you suddenly say that again tonight? Young people are really 'trendy'! Then he said: "Chief Captain, I don't think this battle is easy to fight." First, we were in the guest land, secondly, we were outnumbered, and thirdly, neither Hirado nor the Chinese merchants of the Five Islands were willing to help us......"

Dongmen' Qing interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Okay! You've said this many times! I don't want to hear it! What I want to hear now is how to fix it! He clapped his hands and said, "From now on, don't spit out bitterness on me!" Yang Zhizhong has already listed all our difficulties, let's prescribe the right 'medicine' and solve them one by one! Let's talk about the reinforcements of Hirado and Goto first! You say, is there a way to impress them? Guangnan, you speak first! ”

Cui Guangnan said: "Although those Chinese businessmen are our compatriots and fellow villagers, they are all afraid of death and will not come to help!" ”

Dongmen' Qing shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Say how! ”

If Dongmenqing still asked everyone about it, Cui Guangnan was afraid that he would still say that he couldn't help it, but at this time, Dongmenqing asked him by name, Cui Guangnan*** However, seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, he had to say directly that he couldn't be too embarrassed, so he had to say: "If they want to send people to help us fight, I'm afraid it won't work, and besides, these people can't fight!" I think the most I can say is that they help us move supplies. ”

The east 'gate' celebrated: "That's good! Just let them help us carry the supplies! This matter is up to you and Guoqing to be responsible! The two of you go to the merchants of the peace household to establish a good relationship, Guoqing is responsible for raising supplies, and you are responsible for organizing the fleet to carry it! Be sure to ensure that the supply of supplies in Matsuura is complete! ”

Cui and Du felt that although this matter was a little difficult, it was not impossible to do, so they accepted the order.

Dongmen' Qing said to Zhou Dafu again: "You go to Wudao again, be sure to bring some reinforcements back!" ”

Zhou Dafu was embarrassed: "The owner of Wufeng is famous for his words. He didn't ask for help......"

Dongmen' Qing interrupted: "If you can't find him, you can find someone else!" ”

Zhou Dafu said: "This ...... Who to look for? ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "Li Guangtou, the four elders, Xu Yuanliang, Wang Qingxi, no matter who you are, you cry to my family, no one may be willing to respond!" ”

Zhou Dafu felt that this thing was not easy to do, but he still said: "Okay." I'll try. ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "It's not a try, you can't bring back reinforcements this time, you don't have to come back, find another master!" ”

Zhou Dafu exclaimed: "Chief Owner, you ...... You don't want me anymore! ”

Dongmen' Qing waved his hand, ignored him, and asked Wu Ping: "We are in a guest land, and we are outnumbered, so we really can't win?" ”

Wu Ping saw the words and deeds of Dongmenqing tonight, and knew that his mind had been firm, so he no longer wavered, and he didn't say any more frustrating words, and said: "Being in a guest place, that is from the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty and Japan. But this is just a skirmish, and we don't necessarily need to consider such a big situation. If you think about it the other way, the Matsuura family is the master, and the Ryuzoji family is the guest, as the reinforcement of the Matsuura family, in fact, we are the master, and the other party is the guest! ”

Dongmen' Qingyi patted his big 'legs' and said, "Not bad! ”

Tang Xiuji saw that everyone was already excited, and hurriedly said: "It's true that I am outnumbered by the enemy now, but we are defending, and the other party is attacking, and there are many fewer people to defend the city than to attack the city!" Besides, the Matsuura family's residence is close to the sea on one side, and the naval army of the Ryuzoji family can't compare to us, so they can't besiege the city! If you can't besiege it, and supplies are coming from the sea, this city can't be broken! This time, the other party is a rabble entangled in the Longzao Temple, and they may not be able to work together for a long time! If the city can't be broken, the situation will tilt more and more in our favor! When the time comes, those who don't want to help may become willing to help! ”

The east 'gate' Qing Dayue said: "Good! Good! You can say that again! Wu Ping and Hideyoshi, you will drive a big ship by yourself, control the sea, and protect the transportation lines of Gwanggnam and Guoqing! If the dragon temple dares to go to sea to commit crimes, give me a hard beating! I personally led Rong Jiu and them into the city to help defend it! He also said to Yang Zhizhong and Yu Buzhi: "As for the money and silver used to defend the foreign 'handover', I will bother the two of them." ”

Yang Zhizhong saw that things had come to this point, where could he say something discouraged? He received the order with Yu Buxi, and Dongmenqing said to Anthony: "You go and contact those Xifan." I don't have to ask them to help, but at least ask them to help each other! ”

Anthony said, "That's fine. You know Western etiquette, and they are actually happy to be friends with you. Moreover, the Matsuura family protected them for missionary work, and they had the heart to convert to our Lord, so if there was a conflict, they would probably help. ”

Higashimen Kei sneered in his heart and thought, "Will Matsuura have the heart to convert to Jesus?" This kid is really just in it for the money! Didn't you see that when I came with a large load, he was more zealous for me than for Jesus? But with a smile in his mouth, he said, "You are right! However, there should be no need to bother them to take action in this matter, and if the group of Zephan also participates in the war, the situation is afraid that it will become more complicated. And it's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God! As long as they are willing to sell me some *** cheaper, I will be grateful. After a pause, he said, "When you 'deal' with them, you can 'dew' that I have extensive connections in Chinese and am the son of an official." If they can help me this time, I may be able to help them when I come to China. ”

Anthony said, "Yes." ”

After everyone received the order, the east 'gate' Qing went back to sleep, but none of the subordinates could sleep—the chief lord had already arranged the order, and arranged it so concretely, if it could not be completed, it would be very bad, so everyone planned all night about what should be done.

On the second day of the East Gate, he brought Li Rongjiu, Chen Ajin, Shingoro, and Shinrokuro four stormtroopers totaling 160 people, together with 80 musketeers led by Kavala and Brapa, to cross the sea, when a Xifan rushed to stop the East Gate Qing, when the East Gate Qing looked carefully, it was Andrew, so he asked him what was the matter, Andrew asked him rhetorically: "Chief Shipmaster, I heard that we are going to war?" ”

This matter is not a secret, and the east 'gate' Qing said: "Yes." ”

Andrew said, "Take me and the cable, maybe you can use us!" "It turned out that after he and Lasso were forced to join this fleet, because they did not get the trust of Dongmenqing Qing, they had nothing to do, and could only withdraw a salary that seemed pitiful to him. At this time, he heard that Dongmenqing was going to fight, and thought that this might be an opportunity, so he rushed to it, hoping to be reused.

Dongmen' Qingwei sank and groaned, thinking: "These guys can also fight." Well, it's time to try their hand at it. And he agreed.

When they arrived on the other side, Matsuura Takanobu personally came to greet them, although this team was less than 250 people, but the weapons were sharp, and there were two musket teams that had not yet been popularized in Kyushu at this time.

Kyote Tasukei had already helped Matsuura Takanobu set up the city defenses - they had not expected reinforcements from the East Gate Kei, but when Keikasang's team arrived, they used it as a mobile team. Dongmen' Kei and Matsuura Takanobu inspected various places, and suggested that Matsuura Takanobu directly withdraw most of the troops facing east, and let Qinghuaxiang's ships defend them, and the withdrawn men and horses could be transferred to other places to strengthen the defense.

At this time, Cui Guangnan and Du Guoqing had persuaded more than a dozen merchants, led by the Huang and Lin families, to lend ships to carry supplies, and recruited sailors from Hirado to patrol the coastline in small boats, in addition to the warships of Wu Ping and Tang Xiuji who could attack the battle at any time! Matsuura Takanobu looked at the sea and saw that there were many sailing ships on the sea, and he had confidence in the water power of the eastern 'gate' kei, and Kyode Yasukei also felt that it was feasible, and immediately transferred most of the troops in the east to the main 'gate' in the south and the side 'gate' in the west.

Although the number of the coalition troops called by the dragon temple is thousands, but the action is very cautious, so far has not attacked the city, the east 'gate' Qing remembered Wang Zhi's words, and said in his heart: "Even if they really let them capture Songpu, what good will it do them?" It seems that they are only using the crusade against me as an excuse! I don't have to be determined to kill me! ”

Andrew and Lasso followed him, surveying the terrain to the west and north and discussing where to place the artillery.

In the evening, the East Gate Qing sent Tang Xiuji into the city and asked him about the sea, and Tang Xiuji said, "It's okay." Now Hirado has no business to do, most of the ships are idle, and we have to borrow as much as we want, so the patrol boats are far away, not to mention that the other side may not have enough sailors to fight us, and even if there is, we will definitely be able to find out in advance. Then he asked in turn what the situation was in the city, and the east 'gate' Qing said: "The other party is very cautious, it seems that Wang Wufeng's analysis is correct." They should just be a gesture, not necessarily determined to defeat us. On Matsuura's side, he didn't dare to go out of the city to face the battle, so he was in such a stalemate. ”

Tang Xiuji said: "But since they are here, they will not stop fighting." Unless we go out and surrender. ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "Now that the battle has not been fought, and we have no signs of defeat, why should we surrender?" Just let them attack, let's fight hard, we should be able to defend it! Wait until you hold on, and then talk about peace talks. ”

Andrew listened and said, "Chief Lord, why do you keep saying that you hold on, surrender!" We have guns and cannons, and we have more than a thousand people, so we will definitely win! Why don't you talk about how to win, but keep talking about peace talks? ”

Dongmen' Qing was stunned and said, "We will definitely win?" ”

"yes!" Andrew said, "I saw them on the wall today, and they were not wearing good armor, and they were holding a long stick with a piece of iron tied to the front of it—what was the use of such a thing!" I have seen many of these natives, although there are many people, but as soon as the muskets are fired and the cannons are fired, most of them are frightened away. At that time, a few more teams of infantry were sent to cut down, and almost no damage could be achieved in a big victory. In case the infantry does not go well, we have artillery cover, and we have this 'stockade' to defend, it is not too late to retreat. This is a battle that will definitely be won, so why talk about peace talks before it is fought? ”

These words made Dong'men' Qing listen to it very well, he was actually a person who was more aggressive in his 'desire', but during these days, he was first suppressed by Wang Zhi, and the whole idea was trapped in Wang Zhi's general strategy, and then he was affected by the panic of Hirado and Matsuura, which made him seem conservative and timid. At this time, Andrew mentioned it, and suddenly remembered: "Yes! Why don't I want to think about how to win big! This army that the Longzao Temple family has just pulled up is not necessarily a 'elite' sharp! Although we are smaller in number than the other party, we are the death squad that rolled over the wind and waves and won the battle against the Franco! What are you afraid of! ”

Compared with Andrew, Lasso is a shy person, but at this time Andrew said yes, and he followed: "I looked at the terrain today and found that there are places where artillery can be placed at the west 'gate'. Boss, I think it's better to take our golden dog...... Ah, no, the cannons on the Fuchong are dismantled, placed, and eight 'guns' with wheels can be added to form a small artillery team. Against the light infantry outside the city with only cold weapons, this small artillery team is enough to ensure that we will not lose. ”

Dongmen' Qingshen 'groaned': "It sounds very reasonable, but it's just ......"

Tang Xiuji asked, "Just what?" ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "Wang Wufeng once said to me that this time in the battle, Xu Wei is not allowed to lose, and if he wins, he is not allowed to win a big victory, so he has to leave a step for the other party, so I am thinking, how to grasp this degree." ”

Andrew and Lasso were surprised when they heard this, and asked, "Why do you want to leave a step for each other?" ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled and said: "You don't understand, that's to not prick the 'provoke' Japanese ...... too much" He was about to say "Japanese slaves", glanced at Tang Xiuji, and said with a smile: "The natives of the Japanese country, lest they think that we are too much of a threat and crowd us out." ”

Andrew and Lasso couldn't understand, Tang Xiuji suddenly sneered, and Dongmenqing asked, "What are you laughing at?" Tang Xiuji said: "I laugh at the prestige of the Wufeng shipowner, how can I have such an idea?" Boss, this is Japan! Only when we beat the other party to the bottom will people obey us! If you are polite to others, then you will be excluded by them! ”

The east 'gate' sighed and said, "Is that so?" ”

Li Rongjiu said: "That's how it is! ”

Dongmen Keijian Rongjiu also said the same, and lost his voice: "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Li Rongjiuqi said: "This is something that a three-year-old child understands!" You're so smart, how do we know you don't even understand this. ”
