CHAPTER XLV
Jiang Chuan was not too surprised to hear the news of the Japanese Kou.
The last time I met Jiang Liu'er, I heard the news of the widows. It is not surprising that these would-be bandits appeared ten years ago.
Moreover, the news that Bai Jinxiu heard was also in line with his seriousness and judgment of these widows.
Of course, more specific information, such as the strength of the Japanese pirates, the specific location of their lairs, their leaders, and even the configuration of weapons and firepower, could not be known from the mouths of those refugees.
It is not easy for the Black Ice Station to hear so much news in just a few days.
The Rebellion of the Japanese Invaders lasted for several decades in the original history, although it was finally destroyed by Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, but until the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were still a small remnants of the Japanese Invaders on the southeast coast.
The main force of the Japanese in history is a group of Ming people, and the real Japanese are only a minority.
Most of the Ming people among the Japanese are some coastal pirates and water bandits, as well as some guys who have broken the law to escape from the government, and some local green-skinned gangsters who are desperate.
With these leading parties as traitors, these pirates can plague the coastal people for decades.
For many later generations, the greatest significance of the scourge may be that they know a Qi Jiguang. After Qi Jiguang was a general, the biggest achievement in his life was to pacify the Japanese invaders.
Of course, it was not Qi Jiguang's work alone to pacify the Japanese invaders, and the above was inseparable from the dispatch support of Hu Zongxian and others, and the cooperation and coordination of Yu Dayou's department was inseparable below.
There are many unknown heroes and heroes, but Qi Jiguang is the most famous.
Not long before the crossing, Jiang Chuan once went to see a movie, and the movie he saw was "The Storm" made by a certain director in Xiangjiang with Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese deeds as the main plot.
As a result, after he went that time, he was the only one in the entire screening hall until the end of the show. In other words, he only spent 28 yuan for the group purchase price to enjoy the charter treatment of the local tyrant.
At that time, he also excitedly posted a circle of friends, and a bunch of comments below were shouting 666, why didn't the local tyrant call me......
This film is played by Qi Jiguang, a martial arts actor Zhao Wenzhuo, who he likes very much, and the fearless Mrs. Qi is played by Wan Qian, an actress he likes.
After watching it, Jiang Chuan felt that this film was still good, the actors' acting skills were all online, and the plot was also very burning, and it is said that the director spent ten years preparing this film, so many details in the film are very close to history.
The most significant point is that the mandarin duck array created by Qi Jiguang in order to deal with the Japanese is restored in the film.
Another point is that the brutality and ferocity of the Japanese in the film are also very intuitive, which makes Jiang Chuan grit his teeth and hate it.
It's a pity that he was just a spectator at that time, and he was also a spectator who was worried about the ancients, even if there was a storm in his heart, history still couldn't be changed.
Unexpectedly, he crossed over in this life, and he also had a strong army. What's even more coincidental is that there are still Japanese robbers in this world.
It seems that the sky is all about making up for the regrets in his heart.
He now not only has enthusiasm and anger, but also has the ability to make up for regrets and vent anger.
The puppet was furious and grabbed the ground with his head, and at most five steps were splashed with blood.
The king was angry, but he lay in wait for millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles.
He is now a king, a king who can lay down millions of corpses and bleed thousands of miles with a single order.
Although it seems that his main enemy is still the Dashun Army, in Jiang Chuan's opinion, after this defeat, Li Zicheng is actually already broken, and he has no power to compete with him for the world anymore.
If he shrinks his defenses, he can hold out a little longer. If he doesn't measure himself and continues to attack, then he can only accelerate the destruction of the Great Shun Kingdom.
Although it seems that most of the Ming Dynasty is still in the hands of Li Zicheng, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and even millions of people can be coerced at any time.
But no matter how much cannon fodder there is, it is still cannon fodder, and no matter how many people there are, it will not help. No matter how many sheep meet tigers and wolves, they will only be eaten and run away.
Jiang Chuan had a hunch that it wouldn't be long before he would collide head-on with these would-be robbers.
The only slight concern he had was that although there were pirates in this world, it was a plausible time after all.
Are these pirates really pirates, or are there a bigger force behind them, they are just a pawn and cannon fodder on the road.
If that's the case, maybe that's really interesting.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Jinxiu's voice woke Jiang Chuan from his contemplation.
He laughed, "I was thinking, I'm afraid we're going to run into these pirates soon." ”
Bai Jinxiu was obviously a little puzzled, but Jiang Chuan didn't plan to explain, but changed the topic: "You are too tired to travel these days, it is very hard, go and rest early." I'll arrange for you a few maids. Rest well, and talk about it tomorrow. ”
Bai Jinxiu knew that he had something to do, so he nodded and got up to leave.
Jiang Chuan pondered alone in the slightly dim gauze lamp for a long time, thinking about the next direction of his iron cavalry army, when the military commander Li Jian walked in steadily.
"Lord, Captain Bai Mu has sent someone back."
Jiang Chuan raised his head and raised his eyebrows, "What about people?" ”
Li Jian shouted outside, and soon a dusty armor soldier hurriedly walked in from outside.
"The last general will see His Highness!" The armor soldier knelt on one leg and said loudly.
Jiang Chuan glanced at it and recognized that this was a centurion in the guard camp, and got up from behind the table and turned out: "Get up and talk, how is Bai Mu over there?" Did the sailor get it? ”
The centurion said: "Captain Bai Mu asked the last general to inform His Highness that the sailor had intercepted ten ships of the enemy a hundred miles away from Tianjin Wei and captured the families of more than 100 Dashun officials, including Empress Gao of Dashun. There was also one ship laden with grain and three ships loaded with goods, all of which were captured by the sailors. ”
Jiang Chuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "What about the casualties on both sides?" ”
The centurion said: "After the sailor intercepted the opponent, the opponent did not want to be captured, but instead launched an arrow attack on the sailor. After a round of artillery demonstrations by the sailors, the other side took the initiative to surrender. There were no casualties.
It's just that the Gao clan said that if they want to surrender, they must be guaranteed their lives. Captain Bai agreed to them, so he sent someone back to report to His Highness, asking His Highness to give instructions on how to deal with it. ”
There were no casualties, and it seemed that the Gao family surrendered on his own initiative, which made Jiang Chuan a little surprised. It seems that this Gao is indeed a woman who can afford to let go, so he really wants to look up to him.
"Let the sailor stand by in place, and allocate a part of the ship and troops to bring back the Gao family and the others and those goods, and the grain and grass ship will be left for the sailor. However, this king will send another person to give an order, so you should go and rest first. Jiang Chuan pondered.
The centurion received the order, but when he was about to leave, he continued: "There is one more thing that the last general has almost forgotten. After sailing from Shanhai Harbor, the sailor sank an unidentified armed ship near the sea, and Captain Bai asked the last general to return to His Highness with him."
