Chapter 202: Revenge
If you want to say who is the object of the most hatred of the Dongying people now, except for the Ming royal family, I am afraid it will belong to Zhuang Jing.
Since the end of last year, the Ming fleet has occupied Tsushima Island and blockaded the waters of Dongying. Zhuang Jing led the Japanese and Ming fleets to burn down the port of Nagasaki, causing the greatest property losses to Dongying since the invasion of Dongying by the Mongol Yuan.
More than 100 ships were burned in Nagasaki alone, and the entire wooden dock area of the port of Nagasaki was in ruins, and mountains of burned materials were piled up.
Subsequently, in Osaka Prefecture, although the Japanese people were prepared, the damage caused this time was far less than that of Nagasaki, but it also greatly affected the transshipment of goods in Osaka.
In addition, the Ming fleet closed the port, as long as the ships left the port, they would be attacked.
The ships without guns could only be beaten passively in front of the Ming fleet, which also caused the livelihood of Osaka Prefecture to wither.
Stepping on the land of Dongying, Zhuang Jing is far more low-key than before, and if the people of Dongying know about his existence, I am afraid that he will suffer countless attacks.
He is not like His Royal Highness Taisun, he has a whole elite Yulin guard, and he is not afraid of the counterattack of the Dongying people. There are only more than 20 Jinyi Guard's subordinates around him, and even if you add the previous spies recalled after coming to Dongying, the number is no more than a hundred.
He was not only worried about the attack of the Toei people, but also afraid of the counterattack of Hayada Saemon. He has never dared to take this wolf ambition and outstanding ability of the leader of the wolf.
If given the opportunity, Zhuang Jing has no doubt that he will fight back. But because of his outstanding ability, he now has to take advantage of this man.
In fact, he already regrets it a little, not that he regretted burning Nagasaki and Osaka, but that he regretted that he did too much publicity at the beginning, which made him now famous in Toei.
It was also at this time that he understood why Ji Gang had been in obscurity when he arrived in Dongying, and did not show up at all to do anything directly aimed at Dongying.
If you want to stay in Dongying and develop, you must have a good reputation, and a reputation like him is destined to be impossible to stay in Dongying to develop.
Even if His Royal Highness Taisun rewarded him with a piece of territory, because he became the public enemy of the Dongying people, he would probably face endless attacks and assassinations, and it would be impossible for him to live in peace.
It's just that everything was understood too late, and by the time he wanted to understand it, he had already become a public enemy.
At this time, he had to think about his future.
Daming couldn't go back, and Dongying couldn't stay, so he could only set his sights on Nanyang.
His Royal Highness Taisun wants to attack Nanyang, and he still has many opportunities for development.
And in this process, the role of Hayada Saemon is becoming more and more obvious, because the two thousand people under his command will be a force to be reckoned with.
How to make good use of this power without being swallowed up by this power has become a problem that he needs to solve now.
It's not that he didn't think about directly killing Hayada Saemon and then gathering this force, but these Dongying Japanese Kou are now tightly guarded against this and hugging each other tightly, so that he has no chance to do it at all.
And if he kills Hayada Saemon, I'm afraid that not only will he not gather this force, but he will cause trouble.
He can only wait now, waiting for the Dongying matter, His Royal Highness Taisun will use this force to use force against other regions, and at that time he can divide this force and use it for him.
In the brightly lit port area, standing in an open place, you can see the sea city composed of the Ming fleet on the sea not far away.
This spectacular scene made the people of Dongying frightened, but it made all the Ming soldiers proud.
In this world, only Daming has such might!
He looked back at the group of Dongying Japanese Kou behind him, and said loudly, "You are all from Osaka Prefecture, and you know a lot about this place, and you all have your own history here. The main purpose of convening you today is to let you go to the inner city tomorrow and contact you. Daming is tolerant of all rivers, whether you are willing to work for Daming and have a good future, or do you want to take the opportunity to escape and live and die with Dongying, a line of heaven and a line of hell, all of which are up to you to choose. But there is only one chance, if you don't go back tomorrow, and you want to serve the Ming Dynasty again, there will be no more this opportunity! Do you understand? ”
About 20 or so would-be widows all bowed down in response!
Originally, Dongying only had language, no writing.
In the Han Dynasty in 248 AD, Wang Ren crossed the day from Baekje and dedicated ten volumes of Analects and one volume of thousand-character texts, which was the beginning of the introduction of Chinese characters to Japan.
After the introduction of Chinese characters into Japan, after many years, until the middle of the eighth century, the Japanese began to use the partial characters of Chinese characters in regular script, resulting in katakana, and then used the side of Chinese characters in cursive script to make hiragana, in order to note the pronunciation of Chinese characters and mark Japanese phonetics. At that time, kanji were called male characters, while kana was called female characters.
After the introduction of kanji to Japan, it became the only official script in Japan at that time, not only for the public to record historical facts, but also for ordinary scholars to write books.
However, there are two ways to read kanji in Japan: prescriptive and phonetic. The former is the original Japanese language, while the latter is an imported sound.
However, the pronunciation is divided into Hanyin, Tangyin, and Wuyin due to the difference in the time and place of incoming. The introduction of kanji to Japan not only contributed to the progress of ancient Japanese culture, but also contributed to the emergence of Japanese characters called katakana and hiragana.
It is now the fifteenth century, and today's Ming official dialect has undergone several changes, and now it is dominated by Anhui sound. The Katachi created by Toei based on Chinese characters and hiragana have also matured, so the languages of the two places are actually different.
However, today's Dongying uses Chinese characters in a wide range, and even if you can't understand it, as long as you are literate, you can understand the vernacular official text of the Ming Dynasty.
These captives have been gathered together to learn Chinese since last winter. Under the coercion of the gun, even illiterate widows can now understand most of the vernacular.
The terrain of Osaka is complex, and the inner castle is a building modeled after the Tang Dynasty, and it is very strong.
If a strong offensive is used, even if it can be taken, it will cause huge casualties to the Ming soldiers.
So this group of people was selected to fight back, and at the same time, it was also to win over some people who were unwilling to follow the shogunate's path to the black.
Today, the Ming Dynasty has cut off the negotiation channels with the shogunate, but it does not mean that Dongying must be turned into a ruin. If a group is won over and suppressed, the results will be better.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that Ji Gang arranged these people's plan of action for tomorrow and sent these people away, he couldn't help but feel a little tired, rubbed his somewhat swollen head, and asked left and right: "Have everyone's residences been arranged?" ”
His henchman Niu Liang replied: "It's ready,...... Would you like to go back to the boat to rest? ”
Zhuang Jing smiled and said: "I'm not so cowardly, now surrounded by a large army, if I am still afraid of a little thief, it will be too damaging to the prestige of my Ming army." ”
Niu Liang was still waiting to be persuaded again, but he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a low voice: "Prepare a bed for me, I will sleep here today, if there is a thief attack, my safety will be handed over to your brothers." ”
Today, the army has just occupied this place for less than half a day, and there are many rivers here, which not only became an obstacle to the attack of the Ming army, but also facilitated the attack of a small group of enemies.
A small boat can carry dozens of people, and it is impossible to go down the water while it is dark, even if it is a defense.
But what Zhuang Jing thought was that if someone really came to attack him, then more of them came, and since he had already fallen into notoriety, he should make this notoriety even louder, so that those wouldn't be afraid when they heard his name!
And this, more heads are needed to justify him!
The hustle and bustle of the day gradually quieted down in the night, and a large number of Ming soldiers took turns to rest and save their strength for the next day's fighting.
Everyone knows very well that Osaka will become the object of the Ming sacrifice flag, and the Ming will not only win but also win!
The Ming army practiced local self-defense and overall joint defense, and this defensive position was very useful on land, because the various departments could quickly form a whole.
But in this city full of small islands and rivers, they are separated from each other, and the effect of joint defense is obviously not very good, and it mainly depends on the self-defense of various departments.
To the north of the city, the Yodogawa River, which flows from Kyoto, is also the largest river in Osaka.
Because of the Ming attack, almost all the small boats were moved to the top of the river, except for their own boats, the other boats were tethered together, if the Ming army attacked, they would rather burn these river boats, than leave them to the Ming as a tool for their attack on Dongying.
In a small thatched hut by the river, a small oil lamp emitted a faint glow, causing Daisaku Kadokawa, who was sitting at the table, to form a huge black shadow on the earthen wall.
A strong man pushed the door open and bowed his head. "Young master, everything is ready."
Kadokawa raised his head, but his somewhat handsome face looked a little hideous at this time. "Today's Ming army is not firmly established, I am afraid that we have the last chance for revenge. When the Ming army stabilizes, it will be even more difficult to kill Zhuang Jing, a thief, in the army. ”
The strong man said in a deep voice: "The family warriors have received a lot of favors from the old master, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves to avenge the old master. I have already found out that Zhuang Jing lives in the warehouse of the log family, which is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are less than 100 Jinyi guards on the island, and they do not have firearms. Although there is a ten-person firearms team to assist in the defense, as long as we move quickly, taking advantage of the night, we may not be able to solve them directly. ”
Menchuan Daisaku stood up, slowly drew his sword, looked at the reflected glow and said coldly: "Da Ming is cowardly, just rely on firearms to win, fight force, or my Da Wa samurai is stronger!" ”
As the night deepened, the sky, which had been somewhat glowing, fell into complete darkness before dawn came.
Three small boats slowly descended the river, and the torches lit by the Ming soldiers did not illuminate the river, but instead guided the way.
Daisaku Kadokawa watched as he got closer and closer to the target, and his originally silent heart gradually boiled. It's not fear, it's excitement and excitement.
After his father was burned to death in Nagasaki by Zhuang Jing, he made a grand vow in public not to kill Zhuang Jing and never inherit the position of head of the family.
Although the Kadokawa family is not a first-class family in Toei, it is also the guardian of the Kanzaki River, and with its super force and huge fleet, it has become a force to be reckoned with among the major names of Toei.
But the head of the family was burned to death because of a fire, which also became a shame for the Kadokawa family, and the shame must be washed away with blood.
In order not to alarm the other Ming troops, they did not send many warriors, and there were only less than one hundred and thirty people in the three small boats.
But these one hundred and thirty people are all brave warriors who are ten in one place, and at this time, they are going to attack the Daming Jinyi Guard, who is less than a hundred people, and each of them is full of confidence.
And by the harbor in the lower reaches of the river, Zhuang Jing, who was sitting alone in the house, did not feel sleepy, he lured the enemy with his own body today, just to kill people, to kill more people.
If no one comes, then he will regret it even more.
Of course, he would not fight an uncertain battle, although they had less than a hundred Jinyi guards, and some of them had to cooperate with the offensive of various armies and were seconded. But he also asked His Royal Highness Taisun to borrow a feather forest guard of fifty people, which was hidden in a warehouse not far away.
As long as the signal is sent from here, they will be there in an instant.
Fifty Yulin Guard warriors armed with double-barreled flintlock pistols, even if two or three hundred people came, he would not be afraid.
As for the other twenty or so widows, Zhuang Jing didn't expect them to help, these people were not trustworthy for the time being, and he wanted to kill people today to deter them.
Therefore, he was very eager to wait for the Japanese to come, and not to disappoint him.
It was getting late, and in half an hour, it was about to dawn. Just when Zhuang Jing was a little disappointed, he heard the cry of a lifelong eagle outside.
This was the code of communication, and he immediately perked up, sat up from the edge of the bed, moved his body around the room, and then drew his Tang knife.
This knife is a hundred refining treasure knife given to him by His Royal Highness, since he wants to stand up today, of course, this Tang knife that can slash and stab is more useful.
If you make a contribution, you will also have a share of the glory of Your Highness.
Being a small soldier requires bravery, but if you want to be a big official, you have to think about more issues. After suffering this loss, he can be regarded as completely understanding everything.
The sound of fighting outside soon sounded, and a rocket also rose into the air, and soon, several torches were lit outside.
Zhuang Jing no longer hesitated, directly opened the door, and shouted: "Zhuang Jing is here ......"
A Da Ming with a different sound shouted: "Zhuang Jing dog thief, take your life!" Then a large crowd pounced.
Zhuang Jing laughed and pushed away Niu Liang, who was escorting him. Not afraid of the other party's menacing, waving the Tang knife, he took the initiative to meet it. "There are many people who want me to respect their lives, and it depends that you don't have this ability!"
Just as they were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the thumping of gunfire rang out. Then more and more torches were lit, and the gunfire became more intense.
Some figures fell to the sound of gunfire, but only a few took advantage of the chaos to jump into the river, and most of them rushed towards Zhuang Jing despite the threat of firearms.
Even if you want to die, you have to kill Zhuang Jing first and then die!
