"My lord, it's not good!" Brother Erdan ran in in a panic, and Shen Chongming, who was packing up his things and preparing to return to Beijing with his two wives and little junior sister, was stunned, raised his head and frowned: "I said can you grow a little!" As soon as something happens, it's like this! ”

Brother Erdan ignored this stubble, and said hurriedly: "My lord, my subordinates just got the news, and the widows have come to rob again!" ”

"Cut, isn't it just a few little widows, what's there to be afraid of!" Shen Chongming smiled disdainfully, these widows really don't have a long memory, they were defeated by the official army just a few years ago, and they came to find death again this New Year.

Seeing Shen Chongming like this, Brother Erdan was even more anxious: "It's not an adult, this time it's different, Daishan Island has fallen, Zhoushan Island is also in danger, and I see that the Japanese are about to hit Ningbo Mansion!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Chongming couldn't laugh anymore, put down the things in his hand and asked, "Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on, is it possible that the wolf ghost is possessed, why is it so powerful!" ”

"This subordinate doesn't know, but the captain who came to deliver the message said that yesterday morning the Japanese suddenly appeared in Cen Gang on Zhoushan Island, and most of the warships of the Zhoushan Water Division of the imperial court were blown and sunk, and even the Admiral of the Navy Division sacrificed his life for the country!" Brother Erdan said with a frightened face, mother! I heard that the sailor's lucky boat is terrifyingly big, and this has been done by the Japanese bandits, which shows how powerful this group of Japanese robbers is.

Shen Chongming frowned deeply, and couldn't help but think about it carefully, when he returned to Shaoxing, he was not really idle and didn't do any official business, this understanding of the Japanese is a very important thing for him to do, of course, the specific operations are Chen Xiaolai's iron-blooded army soul of resistance against Japan.

You must know that the Japanese have been in trouble for a long time, and the emperor has long had the intention to uproot them, and if he does this by himself, he must be able to get some benefits.

According to Shen Chongming's understanding, most of the Japanese are entrenched in the Daqushan Islands, and the total number of them is about 9,000, and these 9,000 people are divided into several waves, of which the largest one is entrenched in the main island of Daqushan Island, and the number is only 3,56.

And the composition of these 7,000 people is also extremely complicated, except for the more than 2,000 remaining problems, including a few widows, a large part of the remaining people are illegal traders who have lost their money in the smuggling business over the years, as well as the sailors and warriors they raise, and even the servants in the family, these people are not a good thing. Although he was a merchant, he sailed on the endless sea, and his behavior was the same as that of pirates, otherwise he would not have fallen to the point of joining the Japanese invaders, and in addition to hundreds of innocent fishermen who were coerced into joining.

It's really a rabble. Although there are many outlaws among them, when it comes to coordinated operations, they don't understand anything at all, and the officers and soldiers who often kill with a fierce spirit of courage are all over the place.

However, since the last time he proposed the responsibility system, although the coastal guards that have been attacked and harassed by the Japanese invaders all the year round have not been reborn, it is easy to rely on the advantages of the city's weapons to share the same situation with the Japanese invaders

To deal with such a group of people, Shen Chongming already had a preliminary plan in his heart, that is, to dispatch an elite soldier from the Beijing battalion to act as the vanguard, and then use the soldiers and horses of the guards in various places as the main force, relying on the vanguard to improve the overall morale and suppress the arrogance of the Japanese bandits, so as to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

But in the blink of an eye, the Japanese invaders made such a big move, and even took Daishan Island, which was in dangerous terrain, in one fell swoop, and even wiped out all the sailor warships docked at Cen Harbor on Zhoushan Island.

"Erdan, do you know what kind of ship the Japanese are using?" Shen Chongming moved a chair and sat down and asked, such a strong ship cannon, but the group of turtles can have.

Brother Erdan shook his head: "This is not clear, anyway, I heard the news that it is also a big ship, but the hull is much narrower than the lucky boat of the imperial sailor, but the speed of the boat is very fast, it is said that many of the small fishing boats that were preparing to go out of the port to fish at that time were knocked over, and there was no time to escape, and that's it, the most terrifying thing is that there are a lot of artillery on board." Although there were only three of them, the sound of artillery was endless, and it took just half an hour to blow up all the dozens of naval warships moored in the harbor! Brother Erdan's grinning eyes, his inner feelings were fully revealed, these widows, but they are getting more and more powerful.

"Foreign devils!" Shen Chongming, who was frowning, muttered to himself, and Brother Erdan was stunned: "Foreign devils, adults, what are foreign devils?" ”

"It's the red-haired ghost, now entrenched in our Ming Dynasty, Guangdong Nantui, their ships are all that kind of slender style, so the travel speed is very fast, and the ship is equipped with a large number of advanced artillery, the power is not large, the range is not far, but the accuracy is very accurate, this thing is a really good thing!" Shen Chongming sighed with a sigh, the Franc cannon is the most advanced artillery in this era. Although the power is not great, but the accuracy is high, the weight is light, and the current artillery of the Shenji Battalion is a bulky big guy compared to others. Although the power is much greater than the Franc cannon, but it is only suitable for short-distance transportation, there is a lot of hope for foreign battles, if you have the Franc cannon, it is like a tiger with wings, and it is possible to threaten Mongolia in the north all year round.

"Isn't the red-haired ghost in the Guangdong Trench Mirror generation? How did you come to Zhejiang! Brother Erdan was a little puzzled, what are these grandsons doing all the way around?

Shen Chongming was stunned for a moment, and then understood what kind of place the trench mirror was mentioned by Brother Erdan, to say that Macao has been called the trench mirror since ancient times, and later the Portuguese settled here, so it was changed to Macao, the name that became famous in the later world.

"Hehe, needless to say, of course, the red-haired ghost and the wolf cole teamed up to read the Demon Dao Emperor in all directions!" Shen Chongming said with a smile, these people are authentic businessmen, but it is a pity that they are tens of thousands of miles away, and the people of the Celestial Empire have not even heard of their names, and when they heard that they are here to do business instead of paying tribute, they are directly blocked out of the door.

To say that since Marco Polo's little brother lived in the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty for a period of time and returned to his hometown, after his bragging, the Celestial Empire has become a good place for gold everywhere in the eyes of foreign devils, and many businessmen who dare to take risks have rushed here to pan for gold, but it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty has banned the sea since the end of Chengzu, and the tributary teams that are not carrying the national letter have all been blocked out of the door, and the gold rush plan of the Portuguese adventure merchants who have worked hard to come from thousands of miles has been cut off.

But these people did not give up until they achieved their goal, and through bribes, they even made the local officials in Guangdong secretly set aside a small area for them to live in, and secretly traded with some businessmen. Although it can only be said that I picked up some leftovers, but just such a little thing is enough for these foreign devils to make a fortune, no way, such exquisite things as porcelain are only brought out by our Han people, and any medium-grade bottle is a hot national treasure in the West, so as soon as the place is transferred, it becomes a sky-high price, so that. Although the risk was high, the porcelain dealers who went to the Ming Dynasty made a fortune.

Or the old saying, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, few people think that they have more money, now they have made a fortune, and more people's idea is to make a huge fortune, after returning to China, buy a title with a large sum of silver, make a fief, and the children and grandchildren will become nobles.

"Oh, since the red-haired ghost's warship is so powerful, and with an outlaw like the Waiko, I'm afraid the combat power will more than double! My lord, according to the opinion of his subordinates, this Shaoxing city is not safe, in case the Japanese invaders come to attack, but how is it good, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible, if you can't swallow this breath, wait for the Japanese to be a serious disaster, please bring a holy decree to bring the elite soldiers of the Beijing Guards to kill to save face! Brother Erdan said self-righteously, not because he was timid, but because he really couldn't believe in the soldiers of these local guards, when it came to fighting, our Jingwei was definitely the first, followed by the border army, and this local guard was only worthy of carrying shoes.

As soon as Shen Chongming heard this, he immediately got up and made a gesture to fight, so frightened that Brother Erdan hurriedly rushed back, waved his hand and said: "My lord is angry, my subordinates are also concerned about your safety, if something goes wrong, I can't afford it!" ”

", boast about how good you are all day long, how can a few pirates scare you like this!" Shen Chongming waited for the second brother with a scornful face to reprimand: "Tell you, the matter of returning to Beijing is on hold, and immediately send a message to Lord Liu in the capital, and ask him to encourage the emperor to hand over the errand of Pingwei to this official, his grandmother's, the Franc machine gun Lao Tzu is going to be decided!" ”

Without waiting for the surprised Erdan brother to speak, Shen Chongming raised his eyes and asked, "By the way, you just said that there are only three red-haired ghost warships, this number is accurate!" ”

Brother Erdan scratched his head, and said with a pout: "It should be accurate!" Your Excellency, you don't want to fight against the red-haired ghost's ship! The Zhoushan Shui Division of our imperial court is now completely wiped out! What are we going to do to fight with others! ”

"Hehe, don't worry about this, go and check it out, this official wants to know how many red-haired ghost ships there are, so plan ahead!" Shen Chongming waved his hand and commanded.

Brother Erdan was helpless, so he could only nod his head, and while walking out, he wondered whether Chen Xiao should send some more people to protect Shen Chongming, it was always good to be prepared.

"Clippers, clippers!" Babbling in his mouth, Shen Chong turned around the room with his chin in his hand, carefully pondering how to capture all three clippers, not only did he want the guns on the ship, but he couldn't let go of this ship, this ship came here across the ocean, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was very solid.

At that time, the world's famous shipbuilders will be invited to study these three ships carefully, and they will definitely be able to make more practical ships, in that case, they can build a new navy, and then they will be armed and traded, and they will first knock on the door of foreign devils.
