Chapter 196. Zhejiang Dongfeng cloud

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: the good defender hides under the nine earths, and the good attacker moves above the nine heavens, so he can protect himself and win all!

In terms of self-protection, Mao Jue did a very good job, last night in Hangzhou City in the Quartet, this morning, the Tie Yijun and Yiwu soldiers have once again returned to the open sea of Linhai, the black cloth clothes covered in the armor yesterday into the sea, and then it is time to sleep, to see the sea to see the sea.

What the? Hangzhou Mansion was breached last night? How did we not know?

Mao Jue also returned to the captain's room of the Black Pearl, gently pushed open the door, Zheng Duo, who had stayed up all night, had fallen asleep soundly with his head leaning on the sofa, did not disturb him, and quietly entered the bedroom, on the big bed, Su Yi was also sleeping soundly like a kitten, but his face was not as pale as yesterday, he regained the slight ruddy color of an apple, and his breathing was much more stable, as if he had dreamed of something, and the corners of her mouth actually showed a sweet smile.

didn't bother her, smiled with satisfaction, and Mao Jue retreated again.

"Master Jiang, what should she do?"

As soon as he went out, Mao Jue bent over and saluted there again, looking at Chen Jiao'er who was trembling in a red silk shawl next to him, Mao Jue remembered that he had also brought back a woman.

Qin Niang was gone, she vacated a room, and casually wanted to place her there, but before the words could be spoken, Mao Jue suddenly remembered Su Yi, these days, Su Yi was thrown into the Qiantang prison for a full month, that kind of damp and dark place, otherwise she would not be so sick.

"Shut her up in the lower level!"

"Master General, is this ...... appropriate?"

Although last year's wedding was simple, it was also a wedding after all, and if it was to form an alliance with Chen Zanzhong, the imperial history, it would also be a big help for Tie Yi, so he treated the general's wife like this, Mao Lance couldn't help but hesitate.

"Do as Lao Tzu says!"

Mao Jue snorted coldly, and when he was excited, Mao Jue immediately stopped saying a word, and suddenly clenched his fists to receive the order, pushing this Chen Jiao'er and getting off the deck.

It was an iron prison dedicated to the detention of criminal sailors, directly separated by iron railings in several single rooms, the door of the cell, there were only a few small round holes as windows, a pillar of light shining into a place the size of a basin, and a replaced old quilt in the corner of the wall, fortunately Tie Yi was generous enough, and it was not the kind of broken quilt full of straw, the pulp was washed quite clean, and then there was only one toilet left.

Pushed Chen Jiaoer in, stuffed her into the iron cage, locked the chain with a lock, and the hair lance was gone.

The hands were still tied firmly behind the back of the rope of the father's family, the bound hands were numb and unconscious, and the body was still wet and cold, Chen Jiaoer sat on the mattress with a dull face.

This little girl has not encountered the tragic treatment in her life this day, thinking that the lover who stands up to the sky has pushed everything on her head, and wants to pick herself clean, and her father, who loves herself, personally ordered herself to throw herself into the pond, although she finally escaped, and the husband who married him hated herself so much, and then I don't know what kind of torture there is.

Suddenly, Chen Jiaoer fell on the mattress with her head held high, crying loudly.

…………

At this time, the city of Hangzhou is also full of black smoke, Bai Juyi's poem, the heavenly street is all over the bones of the princess, and there is no half of the first Zhu Gate. It has become a true portrayal here, a small half of the mansion of the rich family with carved beams and paintings has been burned down, and the other half is occupied by the Japanese Invaders, the lonely Shen Mansion and the Chen Mansion stand out in this rich area, and the streets are full of the Wolves who move things out from the high gates, pirates, there is not even a guard at the gate of these two mansions, only two Peugeot paintings of lucky clover on the gate, but these devils are like encountering a ghost charm, no one dares to come to harass.

Except for the two exceptions here, the other high-ranking families have basically been robbed! This raid came too quickly, one day down the city, the previous Japanese invasions could get the news in advance, the first to escape with gold and silver soft soft Jiangnan families were caught, most of them did not run, the silver in the cellar was dug out one after another, fell into the hands of pirates.

However, the pirates in the city, while looting, actually did something unprecedented before.

Open the warehouse and release the grain!

It has really become a thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, copied from this house and that garden, or the grain that cannot be taken away, or some old clothes, bulky things such as inferior cloth, and those furniture that cannot be moved, in the past, the pirates were burned by a fire, this time, it was actually a lot of trouble to find a dozen carts, one by one to collect, and then all of them were transported to the edge of the city, piled up on the ground, and let the poor people take it, and never stop it.

At first, no one dared to take it, until a hungry beggar pretended to have the courage to take a steamed bun, turned around and ran, and did not see the back of the Japanese Kou archery and killing people for fun, and gradually the people in the nearby towns and eight miles became bolder, just like the big truck that turned over on the highway in later generations, causing the villagers to rush wildly, and sometimes the carriage was not unloaded, it was surrounded, forcing the carrying Haikou to use whips to drive away the crowd, so that a road could be exposed.

It's no wonder that they have few people and dense population in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land annexation is serious, although they will not starve to death in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not easier to survive than the farmers in the north, and it is even more difficult.

But this scene is still unprecedented, in the past, robbers were all broken, where did they come to the rich family? Not to mention the residents of Hangzhou who came to rush the transport, even the pirates themselves were confused.

In the afternoon, the looting was almost stopped, the widows hugged the concubines who originally belonged to the big family, the maids were having fun in one house after another, indulging, the shops on the streets, the valuables were basically carried out, in the city, which originally belonged to a salt merchant's house, there were more than 20 strange-looking guys wearing all kinds of armor and robes, sitting crookedly on the precious mahogany tables and chairs, most of them were ugly and put their feet on the table, The horizontal and vertical swords rested diagonally on the ground.

Although Mao Jue can't control the pirates below, not as majestic as the Wufeng ship owner Wang Zhi, all the pirates have to listen to him, but the month he disappeared was not to be recuperated, the battle of Longbei Island, seven sail battleships bombarded more than 50 Japanese ships, Mao Jue wiped out the most powerful Japanese leader in Zhoushan for a long time, forcing all forces to recognize him as the leader of the alliance, just like Western feudal politics, he is a pirate king, although he has no absolute control over the pirate nobles under his command, But the general direction still has to be determined.

And the pirates had to give him an offering.

A little prodigal pirate leader, you and I reported last night's harvest in a word, and the Japanese language, the Jiangnan dialect, and the chaotic language were mixed together, and it took almost half an hour to report it, and it basically gathered a rough idea.

However, before the summary meeting was over, one of the Japanese Ronin in his thirties jumped up with a grumbling stomach, and the Japanese Kou knife that was longer than his height fell to the ground, with a big mouth like a toad, and he turned his head with white eyes and sprayed a large number of Japanese words around him.

"Why do we have to listen to that Ming man? For him, what is robbing the rich and helping the poor, yesterday my samurai were actually killed two or three, aren't they just some poor ghosts in the Ming Kingdom? Everyone is a pirate, so what does it matter if you kill a few and grab a few? ”

Not to mention, this resonated with a few devils, although it was not so hostile, but it was also a dissatisfied complaint, but before the words were finished, the words full of majesty had been suppressed.

"Ming people? The old man is also from the Ming Kingdom!"

So many unruly widows, pirates, sitting in the hall is actually an old man of the Ming Kingdom, but don't look at him old, as if he has no power to restrain the chicken, as soon as he speaks, those widows suddenly seem to choke on Xiangxiang, and become silent.

Where are there so many talents, it's really the most in prison! This old man named Li Deyong has been doing black business all year round, and these East China Sea pirates are either smuggling or looting in the South China Sea, and the stolen goods are actually in his hands and flow into the Japanese country.

Such a person is the most loyal to strength, among a group of Nagasaki merchants, he is the most loyal, and it is also because of his wide range of wild roads, after the Zhoushan Islands Conference passed the group of thieves, this old man was left here by Mao Jue as a talker, he is Mao Jue's mouthpiece.

The old face didn't even fluctuate a little, and Li Deyong looked at the ordinary pirate with disdain and snorted.

"Before I came this time, my family made an agreement with you in three chapters, if you want to come, you will come, and if you don't want to come, then nest on your turtle island, not reluctantly, Saito Kojiro, the old man remembers, you are holding my adult's thigh and begging to come, right? You have to follow the rules when you come!"

"The things snatched from Hangzhou City, transport them to the beach as soon as possible, don't forget the tap of my family, go down!"

A pair of eyes were round, full of unconvinced, what was this Saito Kojiro still shouting, but Li Deyong's old eyes suddenly stared at him like a vulture, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Shorty, you remember, don't let the old man hear the words of any wise people and poor ghosts, otherwise, you will be the one who hangs on the reef next time and waits for death!"

Sen Leng's eyes all converged on himself, saying that it was a wolf, in fact, the Ming pirates in this era are the real main force, and there are only about 3,000 real people, many of them are still serving as Ming people's subordinates, and more than a dozen Ming people bandits are full of murderous eyes, this broken daimyo who crawled out of the pile of dead people in the Japanese Warring States couldn't help but tremble, until those Ming pirates were almost gone, and this dwarf muttered a few dirty words in his mouth.

But even so, it still fell into Li Deyong's vulture-like eyes.

…………

The distribution of food and materials to the poor is certainly not Mao Jue's overflowing heart, let alone wishful thinking about transforming the pirates into a disciplined force like the Yue Family Army.

You are not allowed to loot civilians, and you have to spit out some of your belongings, the purpose is very simple, if you come again next time, it will be easier!

Sun Tzu's most common tactic in the Art of War is not expected to side with the pirates. But this time the city was not implicated, and he made a small fortune, so the next time Mao Jue comes back, will the high-ranking Jiangnan family still encourage these poor people to be cannon fodder and fight to the death against pirates?

And the strategy did play a big role, or some poor people couldn't resist the temptation to be the leading party, this Li Deyong posted a notice, pushed to the beach a boat to reward 500 yuan in silver, I don't know how many local poor bankrupt households launched their own boats, pirates from the Qiantang looted property, began to drift down the Grand Canal to Hangzhou Bay, transported to the sea.

Boxes of silk, porcelain, exquisite carved lacquerware, tea, sugar, raw silk, and precious medicinal materials, many of which were actually sold by Mao Jue to Luo Ning, and were sold by this girl.

In the past, although the Japanese invaded frequently, a group of robbers did not have a long-term plan, scattered into many shares, taking advantage of the gap in the defense of the Ming army, grabbed a sum and left, in fact, the real carry out to sea is only some gold and silver, and many valuable things have been thrown away.

But this time, there were too many things to grab, and there were more than 20,000 pirates, more than a dozen forces of all sizes, and they were reluctant to give up that part of their property, which caused a delay in time, and on the contrary, they lost the flexible characteristics of the pirates.

On the third day of taking Qiantang County, the private port of Linhaiwei, which has become a ruin, has been sold to Mao Jue, Luo Ning, the big shopkeeper of the Wu Pavilion, with more than a dozen jobs, this head is still registering the captured property one by one, loading the end of the boat, on the official road, a few fierce horses galloped over with dust in the sky, and they could get in, and the knight at the head of the knight anxiously waved a Shen family banner back and forth, and under the city wall that was collapsed by artillery fire, the Yiwu soldiers holding rows of fire guns put down their guns.

It is estimated that Shen Guangzuo, the old man, has never been on such a big sea ship in his life, but when he climbed to the boat, the old guy was not in the mood to sigh more, Mao Jue had just pushed open the door and wanted to greet him, and the old guy had already rushed in impatiently.

"The imperial court has sent troops! Gather Jinshan, Baoshan, Huating, Zhapu, Haining and other 12 guards, a total of more than 100,000 troops, about to encircle and suppress the Japanese in Hangzhou City. ”

"The army has been assembled in Haining, by the governor of Zhejiang Ye Yunting to supervise military affairs, Zhejiang general Zhao Mengqi, Haiyan Shen will be in Lu, as well as Huating soldiers Beidao, Jiaxing guerrillas and other more than ten generals to lead the troops, three days later in Haining swearing, will go south to Hangzhou! Now the imperial army has sent Xizuo to the city to contact us as an internal response!"

After roaring such a long sentence in one breath, it was really embarrassing for Shen Guangzuo, an old man, who roared so much that his throat was smoking, so he paused and took a breath, and then he spit out the last sentence.

"Take it when you see it!"
