Chapter 60 Take the initiative to ask for help
Brother Erdan took the errand seriously, and the warning notice from Ningbo Mansion also reached the Shaoxing Mansion, and it was very certain that there were only three ships of red-haired ghosts, but no one knew how many people there were.
Now that he is still on vacation, and his identity is limited to not participating in the war, Shen Chongming can only stay anxiously at home and wait for news, hoping that Boss Liu can use his relationship to snatch this ordinary errand for himself.
Daishan Island, in just a few days, the originally flat mountainside open space became a mess, the ragged Japanese robbers gathered in the small shacks that had just been built to drink the inferior wine that had not been tasted for a long time, and the snow-white steamed buns became the best appetizers, good things, without meat, you can't miss this thing!
"Hehe, this time I annihilated all the warships of the official army and sailors in one fell swoop, thanks to Mr. Si's ships, on behalf of my Wuwei Sect, I salute you." Zheng Shanchuan, who was in the first place, raised his glass with a smile on his face and raised his glass to Si Aomu, who was stunned.
After a few words with Siao Bird, I saw that this foreign devil also picked up the wine glass in front of him with a smile on his face, and when he touched the void, the two of them raised their heads and drank it. Zheng Shanchuan's face did not change, but Si Aomu grinned spicily, and his brows furrowed into a pimple.
"Hahaha, Mr. Si is really a member of my generation, bold!" This battle easily wiped out the official army and sailors, Zheng Shanchuan was happy from the bottom of his heart, if he changed to the usual performance of Si Aomu, he would definitely ridicule it in his heart.
There was an interpreter in the middle, and the two had a good conversation, but this scene fell into the eyes of Watanabe Masao, the small leader of the Japanese who sat at the bottom, but it made him hate it so much.
Watanabe Masao is over fifty years old, his early name was Watanabe Ichiro, and his identity is the first samurai under a good daimyo in China, and he is just over twenty years old, and his swordsmanship is a rare opponent, but he has cut a lot of big troubles for his master. However, the daimyo was jealous of the strongest Toyotomi family at the time because of the rapid development of his power, so he casually found an excuse to contact all the princes to send troops to fight together.
There is a way that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and with the participation of a giant like the Toyotomi family, the war was a one-sided situation from the beginning, and the daimyo lost in an uproar, and he couldn't find a way to surrender if he wanted to build a white flag.
The general trend has been decided, and there is no power to return to heaven, and Watanabe Ichiro, who is in the prime of his youth, is not willing to follow the spirit of bushido and die with his master. Finally, in the middle of the night, he escaped from the siege alone, planning to defect to other daimyo again, so as to realize his value and seek glory and wealth.
But the early years were too rampant, his notoriety has long been spread far and wide, many enemies who formed a beam in the early years want to take his life, and the Toyotomi family continues to have the same style, but also to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, as the first samurai under the daimyo, Watanabe Ichiro is impressively on the list of death.
Forget it, this kid abandoned his old master and fled for his life alone, this loyalty also needs to be carefully considered, no daimyo dares to risk accepting him if he really accepts him. If you really accept him, not only will you have to deal with the Toyotomi family, but you will also have to beware of this kid biting back, so it is better to take his head to please the Toyotomi family.
Faced with such a situation, Ichiro Watanabe became a street rat and everyone shouted at him, and there was no way for him to live in the country. In desperation, Watanabe Ichiro had no choice but to follow in the footsteps of countless old-timers and become a rootless Lang man, and escaped to the sea with a bloody path, and a new pure-blooded Japanese was born.
Joined the Wakos, in order to avoid unexpected troubles, Watanabe Ichiro changed his name to Watanabe Masao, and became a not very conspicuous second leader after a few shows his hands, and made up his mind to stay up for a few years and wait for the time to come back.
But it's easier said than done, most of his life has passed, and Masao Watanabe, who is almost an old miscellaneous hair, still hasn't been able to realize his ambitions, and the mix is getting more and more miserable, this time it's also because of lack of food and clothing, so he took more than 200 of his compatriots to Wuweijiao. The purpose is also very simple, it is to get food and clothing, and slowly survive until death. As for his ideals, since Qi Jiguang killed the widow who lost his armor, it has been completely dispelled, and when he is old, his swordsmanship has slowly regressed, even if someone uses himself when he goes back, then he is a miscellaneous errand runner, and he is not as free as the current days.
But people have their own pride, and although he has been down for decades, Watanabe Masao has always regarded himself as a high-class person in his heart, and no matter where he goes, others should look up to him. It can be realized that the Han people are now powerful, and it is too much to even take themselves as the leader in their eyes.
Anger is anger, and Watanabe Masao under the fence also knows that fighting for a moment now can only make him die miserably, so he pressed the anger in his heart and pretended to be indifferent to drink himself, and quietly pondered in his heart how to kick Wuweijiao away and bring all the people under him to his side. At that time, it will not be a problem to have a boat and a person, and it will not be a problem for you to establish yourself as the king of the Daqushan Islands, and in this way, it can be regarded as the realization of the ideals of your youth.
The Japanese are rejoicing, and Zhoushan Island is gloomy. Hearing the news, Chen Hai, the capital of Guangdong who personally rushed to Zhoushan Island, sat there with a grim face, staring coldly at the several generals standing in front of him.
Chen Hai was accompanied by the commander of Guanhaiwei, and the men and horses stationed on Zhoushan Island and Daishan Island were his subordinates, and now that Daishan Island was lost, the sailors directly under the military department were also killed on his territory, and the ships were lost, and he was also responsible for the heavy responsibility.
"Two rice buckets, Lao Tzu told you to be careful more than once, but in the end, something big happened, and he even let the Japanese invaders blow up all the warships of the imperial court sailors under their noses, do you eat shit?" In front of Chen Hai, the commander made his two eyes stare at each other, and scolded the two thousand households in front of him.
It's not that I'm really blaming them, after all, no one thought that Daishan Island, which was originally thought to be rock-solid, would be lost. But what did he have to do in front of Chen Hai, as long as this old guy had the result, no matter what the process was like, if he didn't show his attitude one step ahead, he would have to be scolded later.
The two thousand households were not stupid, knowing that this was the commander to make the adult do it to Chen Dusi, so he nodded and said, "The last general knows his mistake, and please punish the adult." As he spoke, the two of them fell to their knees together, raised their hands and raised their hands to hold the thorns that had been prepared above their heads, thinking that they would be guilty of the thorns.
"Get up." Chen Hai glanced at the two of them angrily and said helplessly, he also knew that he couldn't blame the two of them for this, and he could only blame the fools of the sailors for not doing their duty, so many warships, there was not a single soldier, if someone was there at the time, he only needed to fire back, and he would not damage all the warships. Fortunately, without their coordination, it would be impossible for him to send troops to recapture Daishan Island, and only those small fishing boats were sunk by the Japanese before they could land.
Hearing him say this, the commander and the two thousand households breathed a sigh of relief. Careful to be, the commander asked in a low voice: "My lord, what should I do next, now that Daishan Island is in the hands of the Japanese Kou, and they have such a sharp warship in their hands, they will come here at any time to attack and disturb it." ”
Chen Hai sighed a little helplessly, now that the Zhoushan Landscape Master is paralyzed, the only thing he can do is to actively defend and not give the Japanese a chance to take advantage of it, "Pass the order, all departments will defend tightly, and there must be no slackness." If something happens to anyone's defense area, then whoever bears the responsibility will take it, and don't say that the official, the boss, doesn't think about your good. ”
The commander has a big head for a while, and he is a responsibility system, and his inherited position is in jeopardy. Although I was worried in my heart, I still had to take this order. "Yes, the last general will go and order, and let people summon the generals from all over the country."
"Well, go and come back quickly, we will go to Admiral's house to mourn later, no matter what he did wrong, it has disappeared now, the dead are great, we should go." Chen Hai said a little sadly, he died, and all the responsibilities that were originally shared by the two of them fell on his head.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liu asks to see you." Chen Hong ran in and said.
Emperor Longqing, who was sitting there, turned a little yellow. The Japanese are rising again, and compared with the past, this time it can be said that it is menacing, and last night's war report from Zhejiang arrived, and he and the ministers of the cabinet stayed up all night to discuss countermeasures. But when it comes to those two sentences, the old methods, the old routines, using these to deal with the Japanese invaders, Emperor Longqing really can't believe it.
Liu Shouyou didn't come easily, every time he came, it was a big deal, so Emperor Longqing still had to meet him when he was in a very unhappy mood, "Well, announce him in." After that, Emperor Longqing got up and straightened his clothes, and his majesty was always indispensable.
"Weichen Liu Shouyou, knock on the emperor." Boss Liu knelt on the ground very respectfully and saluted, and Emperor Longqing waved his hand a little listlessly and said, "Get up, say, what's going on again." ”
"If you go back to the emperor, Weichen came here for the matter of the Guangdong Wokou." Liu Shouyou said cautiously. He also knew that the emperor was worried about this matter, for fear of scolding him if he said the wrong thing.
"Woko again?" Emperor Longqing's face was bitter, his brows were twisted into a pimple, and he looked at this Liu Shouyou and said, "Say, what happened to them?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not that what's wrong with the widows, it's that Weichen knows that you are worried about this matter, and specially came to recommend a tiger general to preside over the plan to level the widows and solve problems for you." Liu Shouyou looked at Emperor Longqing cautiously and said.
"Oh. Tell me who this person is. Emperor Longqing asked with interest, his brows stretched instantly, he discussed all night last night, and he couldn't choose someone.
Liu Shouyou cleared his throat and said with a flattering face: "If you go back to the emperor, this person is Lord Shen Chongming." Lord Shen has a set of rules and regulations for fighting, and when Lord Qi Jiguang was on an errand in the Shenji Camp, he also admired him, if this matter was handed over to him, it would not be a problem to be peaceful. ”
"Shen Chongming? It's not good, I promised to let him stay at home for a while longer, and if I let him go to preside over the war, wouldn't it be a broken promise? "Emperor Longqing is a little embarrassed, you have no jokes, you can't go back on your word.
Liu Shouyou smiled, but he no longer concealed it, "Your Majesty, this matter was entrusted by Lord Shen to Weichen for him, and it was he who took the initiative to ask Ying to share his worries for the emperor." Besides, his home is in Shaoxing, even if he is presiding over the war, it is not considered to have left home, so how can this be regarded as a broken promise? ”
"Yes, yes, Shen Aiqing is from Shaoxing, how did I forget this stubble." Emperor Longqing patted his head and smiled bitterly, "Since he is so willing to worry about me, then leave this matter to him." Chen Hong immediately planned to send the order to Zhejiang, appointing Shen Chong as the general soldier of the Ping Wa Qin Mission, and the people and horses from all over the coast were mobilized by him, and the Japanese plague must be completely quelled! ”
