Chapter 524: Wei Renpu's peak moment
Wei Renpu held a sword in his hand, his beard fluttering, and stood majestically on the bow of the ship.
Let's not talk about whether you can kill the enemy, it is this kind of bearing that makes people admire it in their hearts.
Did you hear it, what did Wei Xianggong call us?
Brothers!
A group of stinky pirates, is it also worthy of fighting side by side with the respect of the prime minister of others, calling them brothers? But Wei Xianggong shouted out, shouting so naturally, so hot.
If Wu Yue had such a virtuous prime minister, they wouldn't have raised their heads to be pirates and live and work in peace and contentment at home, how good it would be!
I have to say that Wei Renpu does have two tricks to buy people's hearts, of course, his routines are not very clever, but the level of pirates is too low. In addition, Ye Hua had already subdued most of the people before, and Wei Renpu just took the last part of the road, four words, pushing the boat down the river.
Lao Wei knew it in his heart, but these pirates couldn't figure it out for a while!
All of them were moved, screaming, and swearing to protect Wei Xianggong with their lives.
This time, Ren Tianxing brought thirty warships, compared to only a quarter of the opponent's, and the difference in strength was huge. He knew very well that although his morale was strong, what he could really rely on was the bed crossbow.
"Aim at Nantang's ship and hit it hard! You're welcome! β
Ren Tianxing is really a bit capable, and he doesn't have many days to get the bed crossbow, but he trains with his subordinates every day, and lets the sailors manipulate it over and over again, and he has practiced to a very familiar level.
Just now, Wei Renpu gave him a telescope, and Ren Tianxing also used it.
He personally observed the enemy's situation, commanded the ships, and seized advantageous positions.
Ren Tianxing was keenly aware that the combat power of the ship came from the bed crossbow, and the bed crossbow could only concentrate more firepower to attack the opponent when it was horizontal.
He turned this tactic of facing the enemy on the side into a "D" shaped battle formation.
The pirates quickly prepared, seized the T-shaped crossbow, and the bed crossbow was aimed at the Yangtze River sailors of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the battle was about to break out...... At this time, Ren Tianxing found through the telescope that the Southern Tang Naval Master was ...... Retreat!
What's going on?
They came with a lot of momentum, they didn't even fight, they just ran away, what's going on?
Ren Tianxing was stunned, but his subordinates couldn't help laughing, and they were extremely happy.
"See, the rats of the Southern Tang Dynasty are afraid of Da Zhou!"
"They were afraid of Wei Xiangye, so they ran away with their tails between their legs!"
"Xiangye is mighty!"
"Great Zhou Shenwei!"
β¦β¦
These pirates couldn't help but attribute their victory to Wei Renpu, let out an earth-shattering roar, and danced excitedly.
Lao Wei's heart was also confused.
When he met the Southern Tang Water Master, he was also afraid.
And what Lao Wei is most afraid of is that these pirates don't talk about morality, and directly send him to Nantang, in case of that, he doesn't even have a place to shout grievances.
Therefore, Wei Xianggong pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and lived and died with everyone, but in fact, in his heart, what he was most afraid of was being abandoned.
is obviously afraid of dying, but he wants to act as if nothing happened, Wei Renpu's acting skills can kill ten movie stars in seconds. And next, Lao Wei's acting skills exploded.
Nan Tang suddenly retreated, and he didn't know what was going on, but people could hold it.
When Ren Tianxing reported to him, Wei Renpu just nodded lightly, lifted the sword, wiped it with his sleeve, and then put it back in the scabbard, his eyes were just, and there was a little loss, as if he didn't personally cut a few, which was a pity.
When he handed the sword back to his entourage, he said indifferently: "Sheep tiger skin, phoenix feathers and chicken gall, Nantang is not worried." Let the brothers be more careful and comfort the people of Suzhou, this is the right thing. β
After Wei Renpu finished speaking lightly, he turned his head and entered the cabin.
That cloud is light and the wind is light, and that bearing is chic!
What is the prime minister of the country, what is used to seeing big scenes!
A few rotten boats in the Southern Tang Dynasty also want to scare the Prime Minister of Da Zhou, it's really a dream!
Ren Tianxing was completely convinced, and gave Wei Renpu a thumbs up in his heart. If Lao Wei asked him to surrender to Da Zhou at this moment, Ren Tianxing would have nothing to say.
He asked a few ships to investigate the situation from afar, and then personally commanded the fleet to sail towards Liujiagang in the direction of Taicang.
Lao Wei and Ren Tianxing didn't know what was going on, thinking that the Southern Tang Sailor was scared away.
In fact, otherwise, if it is so easy to retreat, Li Hongji will not have to be confused.
It turned out that after Wei Renpu went south, Ye Hua immediately ordered Shi Shouxin to lead three thousand cavalry south, of course, this bit of men and horses could not attack the city, but Ye Hua was so bad, he put the target of the attack on the salt field.
You must know that since the Great Zhou Dynasty took Yancheng, there is only a section of coastline centered on Rugao left in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which has become the salt pot of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the treasure is amazing.
Without salt, not only will prices soar, but it will also damage the combat effectiveness of the three armed forces, and no one can afford to be careless.
On the one hand, Ye Hua sent troops to threaten the Rugao Salt Farm, and on the other hand, he sent Li Yu as a messenger to Jinling, reprimanded the Southern Tang Dynasty, bullied Wu Yue, and demanded that the Southern Tang Dynasty immediately use the issuance as the ten dollars to loot the proceeds and return it to the people of Wu Yue, otherwise the Great Zhou Dynasty would be punished.
Pay attention, Ye Hua said that he wanted to raise the teacher to ask for guilt, but he did not say that he would start a war immediately, which left a foreshadowing and imagination.
Of course, Li Hongji is not so naΓ―ve, he will not believe that war can be avoided, but he will plan for the worst.
Therefore, Li Hongji ordered to hoard salt in an all-round way to prevent it from being cut off by the Great Zhou, and in addition, he mobilized the sailors to go north along the canal, ready to raid Chuzhou at any time, and again, he mobilized another 30,000 horses to reinforce Shouzhou.
To make every effort to guard against the Great Zhou, Li Hongji also mobilized men and horses to prepare for the use of troops against Suzhou.
He actively mobilized to prepare for the war, and naturally did not want to rush into a conflict, although he transferred the sailor back to Yangzhou and chose the opportunity to move.
Ye Hua tried his best to contain Nantang, but unfortunately, he became an unsung hero and a hero behind the scenes.
All the previous lotteries were won by Wei Renpu alone!
To convince the pirates, when they heard that Wei Xianggong broke through the obstacles of Wu Yue and the Southern Tang Dynasty and drove to Liujiagang, the whole of Suzhou was boiling.
The people of the Chamber of Commerce, Shilin students, peddlers and pawns, and even ordinary housewives, all came out. Leaving Suzhou City, I ran to Liujiagang, looking forward to it, waiting for Wei Renpu's arrival.
Ren Tianxing stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the telescope given to him by Wei Renpu, there were people everywhere, dense and boundless, filling the entire field of vision!
What a fucking majesty!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but peek at Lao Wei, and said in his heart that this person must be very proud, right?
In fact, everything is okay with Wei Renpu, this scene is certainly very big, but compared to Ye Huaguang's return to Youzhou and his return with honor, the scenery along the way is still incomparable.
After all, one is a big victory, and the other is just a welcome ceremony.
Lao Wei secretly pondered, he always let Ye Hua be in the limelight before, it was not that the old man was incompetent, it was just that the old man disdained to do that kind of thing.
Ye Hua, you kid should regret it, if you pull the old man into the water, there will be nothing to do with you.
Wei Renpu thought about it and made up his mind.
When the big ship entered the port, he got off the gangplank and stepped on the land of Jiangnan, Lao Wei was full of warm smiles, he waved at the welcoming crowd, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers.
Waiting for the crowd to calm down a lot, Lao Wei said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers in Suzhou, you obey the heavens and surrender, the Son of Heaven already knows." So the Son of Heaven specially sent the old man to Jiangnan to see the big guys, all the people of the Great Zhou, no matter where they are, my Great Zhou court, the soldiers of the three armies, are your backers! β
Lao Wei waved his arm and said vigorously: "The old man has just arrived, and there are still many unclear situations, but the old man knows that you are deeply affected by the ten dollars and suffered heavy losses. On behalf of the Great Zhou, the old man assures you that in order to maintain the stability of the currency, the Great Zhou will provide all assistance, and the old man will discuss with the virtuous people in Suzhou and come up with a specific strategy. All in all, Da Zhou will not allow chaos in Suzhou, let alone sit idly by! Whoever dares to disturb the order of Suzhou is the enemy of the Great Zhou! β
Wei Renpu, an old man, is already very intelligent, and he has observed Ye Hua for many years, and he has figured out people's hearts thoroughly. The war is terrible, but it may not affect everyone, but the currency is different, one is ten dollars, how many people are bankrupt, and the wealth accumulated in several lifetimes is gone.
For the small people, who cares about how to toss above, the big guys all look at their own interests. The reason for the rebellion was also because of the looting of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Wu Yue was unable to resist, so he acted angrily.
As soon as Lao Wei set foot on the land of Suzhou, the first thing he did was to announce the stable value of the currency, and this promise was issued, which is equivalent to ensuring everyone's wealth!
The weight is so loud and to the point!
If the big guy was just curious, he came to see the prime minister of Da Zhou.
Then after listening to Wei Renpu's words, the eyes of the gentry and merchants in Suzhou were red.
Wei Xianggong, you understand the voice of our Xiaomin too well.
Many people couldn't help but bow to the ground, weeping bitterly, and some people bit their fingers and swore to the sky that they would be loyal to the Great Zhou and rest until death.
Under the emotional infection, Ren Tianxing, as well as those pirates, all knelt down on one knee and roared together, the sound was like thunder...... Lao Wei's face showed a bright smile, Ye Hua, you kid ask yourself, can you do a better job than the old man?
