Chapter 229: Ashore
After Zhu Hao's words were finished, Wei Xiaobao smiled knowingly, and then said:
"Your Highness, you mean ......"
Zhu Hao didn't wait for Wei Xiaobao to finish speaking, then nodded and said:
"Send a message to our people on the shore and ask them to find a way to let us land!"
Wei Xiaobao nodded when he heard this, and then took the order to leave, and after a while, he saw two signal fireworks flying in the air, one blue and one red.
As soon as Wei Haiwei came out of the barracks, a general looked straight at the two fireworks, and was in a daze for a long time, and a soldier behind him looked at him like this, and asked:
"Brother Zhang, what are you looking at, so engrossed?"
The general Wenyan shook his head, and then turned back to his tent, at ten midnight that night, the night watchmen had already rested, but the general was cautious, and secretly went out of his camp, and after a while, I saw him personally pushing a cart of good wine, and went to the dock of Weihaiwei Estuary.
There are now 500 soldiers on duty at this wharf, and the rest of the Weihai guards are not far from here, as long as there is a warning here, the 3,000 soldiers of Weihaiwei will immediately gather and come to defend the port.
The surname Zhang is always the old man of Weihaiwei, and many people know him, so as soon as he approached the port with the wine, someone recognized him and greeted him:
"Brother Zhang, what are you doing at the port so late? Can't you sleep and want to go into the sea to fish? ”
The general surnamed Zhang smiled when he heard this, showing two big yellow teeth and scolding:
"Don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, touch a fart fish! Now that the ban is strict, who dares to go to the sea! ”
"Lao Tzu was ordered by the general to see that it was cold at night and send wine to everyone to drive away the cold!"
"Hurry up and help Lao Tzu!"
"I'm almost tired to death!"
The soldier listened to the words of the general surnamed Zhang, and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhang, you have a body of bones, you can't do it!"
"I'm tired of just shouting about how many things!"
"Take pity on my sister-in-law......"
The surname Zhang always listened to the soldier tease him, and he was also angry, and even laughed and scolded:
"You kid is fucking open-mouthed, I'll tear your mouth up now!"
Although the soldier teased the general surnamed Zhang, the person still moved quickly, helped the general surnamed Zhang to push the cart, and then shouted to his companions:
"Brothers, the general asked us to bring us wine!"
"Come here! If it's late, let Lao Tzu drink it all by himself! ”
In the army, there is nothing for these soldiers, more attractive than wine, Weihaiwei is a permanent defensive dock, when Qi Jiguang resisted the Japanese, because of the frequent fighting, there are many soldiers in the battalion, and they can often drink celebration wine.
But with the death of Qi Jiguang and the disbandment of the Qi family's army, Weihaiwei has become a dispensable ornament.
Therefore, with the shouts of this soldier, these five hundred soldiers stationed in the port almost rushed over, and they came over one after another, looking at the cart of wine that the surname Zhang had pushed over, these soldiers were all red-eyed, leaking a greedy light.
At this time, the soldier who had just accompanied the general Zhang to push the cart together stepped forward and said:
"Brother Zhang, you have worked hard to send wine to our brothers!"
"You have a whole bowl too!"
Listening to the words of this soldier, Zhang's face was a little embarrassed, and he said shirkingly:
"This is the general's reward for the brothers!"
"How can I drink it?"
"Let's drink it brothers!"
The soldier listened to the surname Zhang shirk the general account, and shouted at everyone even unhappily:
"Brothers, Brother Zhang will send wine to our brothers at night, should we give Brother Zhang a bowl of wine?"
All the soldiers were simple-minded people, and when they listened to the roar of the soldier, they all raised their wine bowls and saluted the surname Zhang.
The surname Zhang always knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he said:
"Since the brothers said so, then my old Zhang is disrespectful!"
The surname Zhang poured himself a bowl of wine, and then drank a bowl with the soldiers, and the soldiers suddenly became emotional, you have a bowl, and I drink a bowl.
About a quarter of an hour later, all the soldiers fell to the ground unconscious, surnamed Zhang held the car, also a little dizzy, he glanced at the soldiers who fell to the ground, took out a firework from his arms, used his last strength, ignited the fireworks, and instantly a purple firework, exploded in the air, with the explosion of the fireworks, his face showed a smile, and then also fell unconscious.
When Wei Xiaobao heard the sound of fireworks, he immediately went out of the cabin to check, and when he saw this purple firework, he immediately ran into the cabin and reported to Zhu Hao Zhu Hao:
"Your Highness, it's done!"
"We can land!"
After Zhu Hao heard Wei Xiaobao's words, he didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered:
"Order Zheng Zhilong, go full speed and land immediately!"
It turned out that this general surnamed Zhang was the intelligence officer that Wei Xiaobao developed when he came to Weihaiwei last time, but Wei Xiaobao didn't expect that he would use this intelligence officer so quickly.
And the general surnamed Zhang just now, the reason why he didn't want to drink that bowl of wine was because he had drunk all the wine before he came.
With Zhu Hao's order issued, the fleet soon docked, Zhu Hao was afraid of alarming the rest of the Weihai guards, so that the people on the boat landed quietly, try not to make any thoughts, for the sake of safety, Zhu Hao loaded the horse boat, did not dock at all, for fear that the sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of horses would alarm the rest of Weihaiwei.
As half an hour passed, Zhu Hao's escorts had all gone ashore, and Zhu Hao looked at the five hundred soldiers guarding the port who had fallen to the ground, and ordered:
"Tie them up first!"
With Zhu Hao's order, these five hundred soldiers were quickly tied up by their own belts.
Zhu Hao looked at the five hundred soldiers, all of whom had been tied up, and then turned his head to look at Wei Xiaobao and said:
"Go wake one up and ask them where their Lord is?"
"Where are the rest of the troops?"
Wei Xiaobao took the order and left, and after a while, he came back to report:
"Returning to Your Highness, their Lord will be in Weihaiwei!"
"There's a tent for two thousand people on a nearby hillside!"
Zhu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then opened his mouth and ordered:
"General Xu, you take the king's token and go and take over the team of 2,000 people!"
"If there is resistance, control it first, remember not to hurt people as a last resort, they are all my Ming soldiers! It's not a Jianyu! ”
