Chapter 104: Hu Zongxian arrived
On the official road leading to Weihaiwei, a team of knights was galloping towards Weihaiwei.
The first of them was a knight, tall and thin, with a clear face, gray hair, although he looked a little thin, and coughed from time to time once or twice. But the body is straight.
This person is Hu Zongxian, who was named the governor of Qingzhou by Jiang Chuan, the regent of the Ming Dynasty.
After Hu Zongxian dealt with the affairs of Jinan Mansion, he immediately led the personal guards to Weihaiwei non-stop.
In the original history, in the original life course of Hu Zongxian, one of the most glorious sections in history is also related to the fight against the Japanese invaders.
The success of a generation of famous generals Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou in Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war was inseparable from the strong support and dispatch of Hu Zongxian, who was the governor of Zhejiang at the time.
Even Hu Zongxian himself once went to the battlefield in person, fought against the Japanese invaders, and almost killed himself.
Unexpectedly, in this world, after he was re-summoned, he would face the Japanese Kou again.
For him, in addition to excitement, he also felt a deep sense of fate.
A galloping team of horses kicked up clouds of dust on the official road.
The captain of the guard, who was closely following Hu Zongxian's horse, saw that he was coughing badly, and drove forward and asked with concern: "Do you want to rest for a while before leaving, your body can't hold it." ”
Hu Zongxian didn't stop at all, and while galloping on his horse, he said loudly: "Don't stop, I heard that the sailor won the first battle, captured a Japanese warship and hundreds of Japanese soldiers, let's rush there, maybe there will be some unexpected gains, go and see what results they have come up with." ”
When the guard heard Hu Zongxian, the chief of the guards, he no longer persuaded him.
He knew that although Hu Zongxian usually treated his subordinates kindly, once he made a decision, he would never allow others to question and change.
So he gave an order backwards, ordered everyone to follow closely, and continued to gallop towards Weihaiwei.
After the horse team galloped for another half an hour, they were finally able to see the outline of Weihaiwei City.
At this time, the sand and dust on the opposite side of the official road were raised, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in bursts, and it was obvious that a group of cavalry was coming from the front.
The horse teams of the two sides quickly approached, and when they approached, they found that it was Di Qing who had brought people to meet him.
When the two sides met, Di Qing laughed on the horse and said, "Your Excellency the Governor is coming so quickly." ”
Hu Zongxian said loudly: "It's not good, the lord is watching it in the capital." Those dead people are also watching us under the Nine Springs. If we can't exterminate these widows as soon as possible, I, Hu Zongxian, won't be able to sleep. Tell me what happened to the White Girl. ”
After those would-be robbers were escorted back to the temporary military port of Weihai Weijun Port, they found that they were facing the real Daming Naval Division.
And. It turned out to be the famous fierce man King Qin, who was only assembled after entering the customs from Liaodong, and they were all stunned as if they had seen immortals.
I think they have worked hard for many years, looting everywhere, and they only have more than a dozen big ships, but I didn't expect that this King of Qin would assemble a sailor in less than a month, what is this not something that only immortals can do?
And this water master is obviously not a good thing, they have just learned the power of this water master.
In addition to being stunned, these widows were even more frightened, not knowing what fate they would end. After all, they thought that the other party was a pirate, so there was still some hope for negotiations. Now I found out that it had fallen into the hands of the officials and soldiers, and it was really a mouse that fell under the cat's paws, and there was no hope at all.
The pirates were quickly screened after disembarking.
Those fake Japanese robbers, that is, those who were originally Ming people, were selected and detained separately from those real Japanese from Fusang.
Bai Jinxiu took the people from the black platform and some of the people sent to her by Di Qing to interrogate these true and false widows overnight.
Hei Bingtai learned a lot of torture skills from Jinyiwei, so although these robbers were fierce, and many of them were very tough at first, but under these tortures, few of them could hold on, and they all confessed one after another.
After the final comparison with each other, after synthesis, Bai Jinxiu got a complete piece of information.
Di Qing led people and Hu Zongxian's people, and the two cavalry became one, and continued to gallop towards Weihaiwei.
Di Qing and Hu Zongxian walked side by side, and reported to him while galloping: "Governor, Bai Gongzi has already asked his eyebrows. This group of pirates is not the same one that attacked Weihaiwei before. When you get to the city, let Bai Gongzi tell you in person. ”
While the two were talking, the horse team quickly entered Weihaiwei.
At this time, Weihaiwei became intact and strong again under the repair of the engineering battalion, and looked taller and stronger than the original city.
With the speed of construction of the engineering battalion, Hu Zongxian was not surprised. After entering the city, the horse team went straight to Di Qing's Chinese army camp.
Hu Zongxian arrived in the camp, hurriedly washed up, relieved the fatigue along the way a little, and asked people to find Bai Jinxiu. Inquire about the interrogation of these widows.
After a day and a night of interrogation, Bai Jinxiu's whole person also looked a little haggard and tired, but his expression was very excited.
Hu Zongxian saw Bai Jinxiu's appearance and joked: "The white girl has lost a lot of weight from hard work these days, if the lord sees you like this." Maybe I'll blame the old minister for not knowing how to understand the girl. ”
Bai Jinxiu's face was hot, he didn't expect this Hu Zongxian to be joking, so he changed the topic and said: "Governor Hu, after interrogation, these Japanese who were captured by the sailor are indeed not the same ones who attacked Weihaiwei last time.
However, there are also connections between these pirates. According to their confessions, the last time they attacked Weihaiwei were a group of pirates entrenched on an island about 300 nautical miles east of Weihaiwei. The leader of that group of Japanese pirates is called Jiro Aoki, and he is a real Japanese from Fuso. There were several other chieftains under this Aoki Jiro, and there were nearly 2,000 Japanese under his command. There are more than thirty ships of various kinds. In addition, there are thousands of Ming people on the island who were captured by these Japanese robbers, most of whom are women. As for the other details, these widows are not very clear. ”
After listening to the silence for a while, Hu Zongxian asked, "Is there anyone among these people who knows the leader of the Japanese Bandits, Aoki Jiro?"
Bai Jinxiu nodded and said, "There are two big fish in this group of pirates captured by the sailors, and they are their second and third leaders. This third leader is also a real widow, and he is a fellow villager with that Aoki Jiro. After being tortured, this guy promised to take us to Jiro Aoki on the condition that he spare his life. I agreed to him for the time being, and the man was already in solitary confinement. Lord Governor, when are we going to exterminate this Jiro Aoki? ”
Looking at Bai Jinxiu's gaze. Hu Zongxian knew that there was an evil fire in everyone's hearts.
Bai Jinxiu is like this, so is he, and Di Qing is also in the same mood.
The elite of the Qin army, which has always been invincible and invincible, was so blatantly attacked by a group of Japanese pirates under their noses, slaughtering and plundering the people of the Ming Dynasty, which is tolerable and unbearable, so everyone is eager to exterminate this group of pirates as soon as possible, calm the evil fire in their hearts, and wash away the shame in their hearts.
