181 Chaos
Wang Zhi's death meant the beginning of a full-scale war, and the entire southeast would be shrouded in the wrath of pirates and maritime merchants, and with it, the unbridled pirates.
At the end of May, in Cen Gang, the bodies of another group of war dead were burned on the spot, and Mao Haifeng personally lit the fire.
A wounded leader stepped forward and reported: "My lord, thirty-two more brothers have gone. ”
"The Ming army died more." Mao Haifeng said expressionlessly.
"The second prince risked his death to summon him, and he will be clamped within June 15 to ensure that the eldest son returns to Kyushu."
"Dongcheng...... Mao Haifeng sighed miserably, "He was the one who persuaded my father not to go ashore, and he was the one who came to save me, it seems that I really misjudged him before." ”
"The second son has a word, and he will avenge the shipowner. Although Cen Gang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not a long-term place to live. The brothers hate, but after all, the strength of the Ming army is dozens of times that of us, and it is not a way to hold on so hard. ”
"Do you want to run?"
“……”
"When I returned to Kyushu and lived a stable life, who still remembers my father?"
"Will the brethren forget the shipowner?"
Mao Haifeng shook his head and said, "I won't leave, if I can kill one more, I'll kill one more." ”
On the Dinghai front, Yu Dayou's life is not easy.
Under the guidance of Hu Zongxian, he had already been promoted to the governor of the capital, stepped into the pinnacle of the life of a military general, gathered the whole Zhejiang heavy army here, and only sought a quick victory to annihilate the remnants of Wang Zhi, leaving the largest annihilation battle in the history books......
But fucking Cen Gang, why is it different from a few years ago?
A few years ago, Yu Dayou broke Wang Zhi here, and the soldiers were bloodless, just because Wang Zhi had no intention of fighting with the Ming army, and only wanted to retreat with his whole body. Today is different, Wang Zhi died, Mao Haifeng did not plan to survive, and led these two thousand people to fight for their lives. This kind of Wang Zhi elite, regardless of the artillery and martial arts are all superior, mixed with a little ghosts, plus the mountains and mountains here, rugged and narrow, many passes, complex terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wang Zhi remnants of the party are condescending, according to the danger to defend, attacked for nearly two months, but did not see any gains, the enemy annihilated about one or two hundred, but the Zhejiang soldiers have lost three or four thousand.
Both the government and the opposition and the southeast recognized the encirclement and annihilation of the copper wall and the iron wall, and they were stunned to fight a war of attrition.
The siege of dozens of ghosts and widows is consumption, and the encirclement and annihilation of tens of thousands of Japanese troops is also consumption, which is really shameless. If the siege of Nanjing was only because the elite soldiers were exhausted and the nameless generals defended the city, the battle of Cen Gang could not be said, and Yu Dayou himself was already the strongest general who could be picked out now.
However, the trouble has only just begun.
In two months, the news of Wang Zhi's death had already spread back to Kyushu. Both the Japanese and Wang Zhi and his party abandoned Wang Zhi's principle of "not fighting with the Ming Dynasty", and with Ningbo as the center, large and small bands of thieves who could not distinguish between Han and Japanese began to land and wreak havoc, and southern Zhejiang has blossomed on all fronts.
Whether it is Xu Wenchang Hu Zongxian's book, or Wang Zhi's "Self-Enlightenment" before his death, it has been repeatedly emphasized that Wang Zhi cannot die. If Wang Zhi enters the court, he can ensure the peace of the southeast for ten years, and if Wang Zhi dies, he can cause ten years of chaos in the southeast.
Now it seems that the emperor obviously doesn't care about this, compared with the rebellion and the lives of the people in the southeast, he is more afraid that after King Hui enters the dynasty, he will join forces with the governor of the southeast and threaten the stability of his cultivation. It stands to reason that with such a clear truth, there should always be one or two loyal ministers who jump out to talk about it, but it's a pity that under the management of Jiajing and Yan Song, Zhao Wenhua, and even Hu Zongxian himself for many years, no one dares to speak.
But no matter whether the court's decision-making is right or wrong, someone must deal with the consequences, and someone must wipe the buttocks. Cen Gang was not over, and all kinds of Japanese robbers landed, Yu Dayou had no choice but to besiege Cen Gang first, and then divide his troops to rescue all parts of southern Zhejiang, and his general Qi Jiguang once again fell into a state of running around to fight fires.
At this time, some people in Zhoushan reported and exposed, according to the "strange people" who came and went, there was a big wave on June 15, and Wang Zhi Kyushu Yu Dang would come to save Mao Haifeng.
Yu Dayou ascended to Bowang, northeast of Zhoushan, and there was indeed a fleet gathering.
He gave the order to attack, and the fleet retreated, and as soon as it returned to port, the fleet came again.
The situation became more and more complicated, and in order to deal with it, Yu Dayou had to transfer more troops.
On the 10th day of the first month of June, Yu Dayou launched a general attack on Cen Gang again, and the sergeants almost stepped on the corpses of the brothers and rushed upward, rushing from dawn to dark, paying nearly 1,000 lives, and then failed again.
Yu Dayou also really realized the terrible thing about Wang Zhi, these people who went to sea to be thieves were outlaws themselves, and the outlaws entered the state of outlaws.
He had no choice but to recall Qi Jiguang and send troops and ships again.
On June 15, this group of Japanese robbers will inevitably descend the mountain, and this may be the only chance.
Nearly 100,000 troops, all Zhejiang ships gathered in Zhoushan, just waiting for a decisive battle.
On this day, from sunrise to sunset, it can be said that there was not a drop of blood!
The outer fleet was like watching a play, and none of them came close.
Cen Gang thieves, and no one went down the mountain to the sea.
Yu Dayou and the 100,000 army were determined to fight to the death, but they looked lonely.
At sunset, the military newspaper came.
Hangzhou has been broken.
Yu Dayou suspected that he was carried away by loneliness, and asked again.
The herald's expression was equally dazed: "Governor, that's right...... Hangzhou has been broken. ”
"I still don't get it."
"Hangzhou Mansion." "The city wall is broken. ”
"How did it break?"
"I don't know."
"And then?"
"The thieves have come into the city."
"Which way is the thief?"
"I don't know."
"How many?"
"I don't know."
Yu Dayou's head was empty, and he grabbed the herald: "Are you bluffing me?" ”
"I don't know." The herald's head is even emptier.
At this time, Qi Jiguang had to be summoned into the account, and when he saw Yu Dayou grasping the order, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Why is the governor doing this?" ”
Yu Dayou rolled his big eyes and said: "He said that Hangzhou broke a hole and was captured by unknown people." ”
“……”
"I see!" Yu Dayou's expression suddenly lit up, "It must be Wang Zhiyi's party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, pretending that Hangzhou is in an emergency, luring us to come to the rescue, and then break through!" Cunning, cunning! ”
The herald innocently said, "It's true, Governor." ”
"What an egg." Yu Dayou mentioned the herald again, "How much benefit did you take?" ”
"My wife and children are all in Hangzhou, the governor." The herald glared.
"I'm all there too!" Yu Dayou said with a sly look.
Then, his expression suddenly froze and he turned to look at Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang's expression was blank: "Mine is also there." ”
At this time, the army came to report that Mao Haifeng had come down the mountain and began to break through.
Yu Dayou's mind seemed to have dozens of fireworks blooming, which were gorgeous and abnormal.
He just wants to lead the troops well and fight the war well, why is it so complicated.
Be simple. (To be continued.) )
