Chapter 187. Lao Tzu is a wolf!
A thick black smoke hovered over the county seat of Haining, under the low city wall, the sound of crying, shouting and the roar of the beast lingered throughout the space, and the short Wa Ronin roared in groups with their unique lewd and lewd roars, roaring in groups, under the city, the golden fan that the ronin was most willing to play reflected the slanting sun, and the eyes of the people who reflected it were painful.
In the south of the Ming River, there has not been a large-scale rebellion for decades, but this time the scale is comparable to the Battle of Taizhou, with five or six thousand Japanese robbers, and the ronin is fiercely shaking the dazzling Japanese sword.
However, they did not take the city!
"Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"
At the head of the city, the old face of Haining County, full of hot sweat with oil beads dripping down his forehead, seeing the few servants, a large number of people mixed with the army in a panic, he couldn't help but shout in horror, who knew that this kung fu An old Xiucai wearing a teaching robe ran anxiously from behind, and sighed bitterly.
"My lord, you can't ask for help!"
"Then do you want the official to watch the Japanese invade the city and slaughter you, the official, and their entire family?"
I almost didn't die of anger, and I couldn't bear to give this Erwuzi a big slap, and Haining County seemed to roar when killing pigs.
"My lord, you see, in the morning, the Japanese arrived in the morning, but except for shooting two rounds of arrows, they have been holding their troops still, this is putting pressure on us! Jiangnan Chengping has been peaceful for a long time, the combat power is weakened, and the northern captives are rising, and most of the existing elite troops are going to the king of Weibei Qin, once the army gathers in Haining, the Japanese invaders come and go without a trace, and go straight to Hangzhou Bay, and the city will be finished!"
"My lord, if you harm Hangzhou City for your own selfishness, even if Haining County survives this crisis, the old man will impeach you!"
The old guy shouted righteous words like a public heart, but his words made the faces of several other big families in Haining County seem to be covered with a layer of mist, everyone knows the roots, who doesn't know who? Your old guy, his family, and his grandson who are studying are all in Hangzhou, it doesn't matter if you die, Lao Tzu's family is in Haining County!
Just when the old teacher Xi was full of righteousness and roared so that Haining County's face changed non-stop, the big family of the Chen family in the city suddenly pointed his finger at the city.
"The Woko are going to shoot arrows again, be careful!"
Subconsciously, this old teacher turned around and wanted to yearn for it, but he couldn't help but slap him on the back with two slaps, and in the midst of the screams, the old man smashed down like a meteor from the city, afraid that he would not die, and the two servants also threw two stones at his back.
"My lord, Haining County is in crisis, ask for help!"
More than a dozen local bigwigs hugged their fists together and bowed down fiercely, but in their eyes, Haining County had already seen a dangerous cold light, and it was estimated that they dared to say half a word, and the next one to fall into the city and die, and it was themselves who died in the line of duty! Born a spirit, Haining County roared like a pig again.
"Shenxing Taibao Dai Er, take your people to rush out of the city for the official and ask for help!"
Amid the neighing and shouting, a dozen horses fled in fear along the back city.
…………
In fact, the previous waves of requests for help were all received, and the Ming troops from the guards such as Pengpu, Jinshan, Hengjiang, and Yanguan did come towards here, but thousands of Ming troops all stopped at the Haining front post, separated by a few miles, stagnant.
Just kidding, what's in front of thousands? Murderous and unblinking! And this is not the most terrifying, what is terrible is what kind of combat power the Japanese are! In the 34th year of Jiajing, 53 Japanese invaders landed in Shangyu County, Shaoxing, and successively sacked three provinces of Zhejiang, Anhui, and Suzhou, captured more than 20 prefectures and counties such as Hangzhou, Yan, Hui, Ning, and Taiping, and ran rampant for more than 80 days, killing 4,000 officers and soldiers, including a royal history, a county Cheng, and two commanders.
It took five or six thousand Ming troops to assemble, and only then did they eliminate this group of Japanese invaders.
There is also the battle of Cen Gang with Qi Jiguang's participation, the Ming army launched tens of thousands of troops, attacked for half a year, killed and wounded more than 3,000 people, and the opponent was only more than 1,000, and there were even fewer real widows.
Although Qi Jiguang and Qi's grandfather were born later, thirteen battles and thirteen victories, but the family is the Qi family's army, and the Qi family's army is also dead in Jizhou's butcher's knife, what are you? Haining has five or six thousand pirates, and they are not enough to slaughter.
In the face of the messenger who ran out of Haining County, several guard commanders of Jinshan, Zhapu, Yangpu, and Haiyanwei could only scream with all their might.
"Help!"
Little by little, in the assembly of the Ming army, the sky began to darken.
…………
Later generations of coastal defense of the most strict dynasty, is precisely the Qing Dynasty that was harassed by the Western colonizers, at that time it was really dozens of miles of a fort, the entire coast is full of cannons, although the Ming Dynasty set up a lot of guards, in fact, the combat effectiveness is quite limited, especially with land cold weapons defense, see the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang's Qi army is actually an army, the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense can be seen.
Although it does not deny the merits of Qi Jiguang and Qi Dashuai, but he is only a mitigating effect, and the real defeat of the Japanese in history is the Longqing switch, which ended the good governance of the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy for one or two hundred years.
The Japanese pirates, or the hotbed of pirates, did not die again, and on the Zhoushan Islands and the large and small islands in the South China Sea, there are still many outlaws of the Ming, the Japanese, and the Nanyang countries and tribes.
If you want to gather them, all you need is a handful of silver.
Qianqing River Estuary, Linhaiwei.
Under the gray night, the huge battleship rose and fell with the surging of the sea, and except for a few lights, most of the hull was buried in the dark mist, and from a distance, it seemed to float like a ghost fire.
In the rear building of the Black Pearl, in the captain's room, Mao Jue sat quietly in front of the window, looking at his body wrapped in the quilt, only revealing a small face, a few scars on his forehead and a towel covered with a plain clothes dull and silent.
At this time, several heavy footsteps came from outside.
"Mao Sang, wow wow wow wow, blast air ......"
The short one is a little ridiculous, but he wears a wide carcass, and the sword that is taller than a person is behind his back, and it looks so funny, but a few of them come in are real Japanese people, Japanese people!
"Lord Mao, Lord Goto said, the spies on the shore have sent news, and another group of troops and horses have gathered to the north, it is estimated that the troops of Longshanwei, Guan Shanwei, and Sanshansuo have also gone to rescue Haining, it's time, you can attack, right?"
Thanks to Tokugawa Ieyasu, after the Battle of Sekigahara and the Battle of Osaka, the princes who once belonged to the Toyotomi family were reduced, and in addition to the country, the samurai of these lords gave birth to a large number of ronin, from the Senkaku Islands in the mouth of the later generations to Zhoushan, there are really a lot, this Goto-sama, is a big leader of the Japanese ronin group.
It's just that he chattered for a long time, and the interpreter talked for a while, but Mao Jue was still like a stone, staring quietly at the bed. As time passed, these murderous and unblinking pirates also became agitated.
"Crossbow Crush! How can it be repaired!"
The big one in the dwarf, one of the particularly stout widows couldn't hold it back, and shouted in annoyance to squeeze forward, but immediately, the two beside him quickly got out of the way, hiding from the plague god like far away, Mao Jue's side, Mao Jue's face suddenly showed a hideous smile, inadvertently, a three-edged bayonet slapped in his hand, just a glance, the strong wolf also seemed to be a basin of cold water poured down from his head, and the war retracted his head.
If there was only silver, Mao Jue would just be a big fat sheep, but this month, he not only proved to the pirates of the East China Sea how strong he was, but also proved how ruthless he was! With such a three-edged bayonet, he made a few bloody cuts in his body, and then threw the person into a cage, soaked in the seawater, and screamed in horror surrounded by sharks for three days, and when he finally fished it up, the wound was already rotten and crawling with bloodsucking insects in the sea.
To be honest, Mao Jue is really tired of these widows, and he doesn't look down on the leaders of the widows like Wang Zhi, the owner of the Wufeng ship, who brought outsiders to rob his hometown? What is it!
However, if a man can't even protect his own woman, what face does he have to talk about the country's righteousness? And if the Ming Dynasty that he wants to defend is Wu Xun's role, that virtue, he really can't lift the sword to go into battle, the spirit of bloody fighting, since March 17 fell into the water, a wave of anger nested in Mao Jue's cavity, today in Haining actually found that Su Yi was drowned in the sea, this anger has been burned to the extreme, that killing intent can not be suppressed in the heart of the rampage, drying the scum among these people for a few minutes, looking at Su Yi's face, Mao Jue finally spoke.
"All the people in the way are gone?"
"Master Hui, it's almost!"
"Let's get started!"
Looking at Mao Jue's gloomy face, he waved his hand lightly, but Mao Jue's blood was boiling for a moment, and he hugged his fists suddenly, watching him walk past him arrogantly.
Linhaiwei, Long Beach Fortress.
Several guards were still yawning, standing impatiently pacing back and forth on the wall, suddenly, the wind in the sea seemed to be a little stronger, sharp piercing people's ears numb, as if feeling uneasy, an elderly veteran looked into the sea in astonishment, a few flying fire meteors, came into his eyes......
