Wakoku, Satsuma Domain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The news that Chen Kezhen was killed by Chen Di, that 3,000 Japanese were destroyed by the Flying Tiger Army, and that sixty six-masted ships and porcelain on board were captured by the Flying Tiger Army had reached the ears of Inoue Shishiro.

Inoue Shiro was furious when he heard this. You must know that the warriors under his command have been raiding the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for more than ten years, and they have never suffered such a big loss!

Inoue Shishiro said angrily: "Flying Tiger Army! Chen Di! I'm going to tear you to pieces! ”

Inoue Shiro had a strategist named Murachi Watanabe. This man is quite resourceful.

A pair of Inoue Shiro in Watanabe Village said: "Inoue-kun, we plan to join forces with Koizumi Turtle Kang and Inu Livestock Road, and then recruit 70,000 warriors in the country, and the plan to capture Zhejiang Province of the Ming Kingdom is still being implemented." Don't be impulsive at this time! ”

Inoue Shishiro said: "The plan to capture Zhejiang is prepared as usual, our three thousand warriors have been killed, and this revenge cannot be avenged!" The Ming people are a flock of weak sheep. If you happen to kick and injure the wolves, and the wolves don't retaliate, then this herd of sheep will be difficult to control in the future! Prepare to go to sea for supplies immediately! Let's act alone first, 10,000 warriors from the headquarters, all of whom went to sea by boat to attack Taizhou, Zhejiang! ”

On the Taizhou side, Chen Di had already expected that the would-be would-be wouldn't have suffered such a big loss, and he would definitely retaliate.

On the one hand, Chen Di ordered the Flying Tiger Army to be on full alert and stationed in Taizhou City, and on the other hand, he asked Tang Shunzhi to dismiss the old and weak soldiers of the Taizhou Weisuo Army and concentrate on the young and strong Weisuo Army for training.

After seven or eight days of streamlining by Tang Shunzhi, Taizhou Wei only retained 3,000 young and strong people. As the saying goes, more monkeys have more than three points. Chen Di didn't expect the Taizhou Weisho Army to be able to fight with the Japanese on the battlefield, but only hoped that when the Flying Tiger Army fought against the Japanese Invaders, they could protect the rear and escort the grain and grass.

As the saying goes, if you have money in your hands, you don't panic in your heart. Chen Di now has four million taels of silver in his hand, so he is naturally wealthy. The time is ripe for the Flying Tigers to expand their forces. He ordered people to write down recruitment notices and post them in various provinces in Zhejiang.

The news of the Flying Tiger Army's destruction of the Japanese Invaders has spread throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The enthusiastic sons and daughters of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have enthusiastically signed up. You must know that in addition to the prestige of the Flying Tiger Army, it also has a high and terrifying monthly salary! There is a lot of money to be rewarded for fighting with the Japanese bandits, and there are also rich settlement expenses when they die. With such superior conditions, the sons of Jiangsu and Zhejiang also want to enter the Flying Tiger Army.

Although it is an expansion of the army, Chen Di did not lower his requirements for the selection of new recruits. Yu Dayou personally sat down to select new recruits. For seven or eight days in a row, there were tens of thousands of children from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who came to the Flying Tiger Army to sign up, but only more than 1,000 people were selected to join the new army.

There are so many firearms in the Flying Tiger Army, more than 1,000 people, and Chen Di has incorporated them into the hands of the right team of swords and axes. Qi Jiguang personally supervised them to practice the "Eight Formations of the Iron Bucket King" every day.

What should come will come after all.

On the sixth day of October in the 24th year of Jiajing, the 10,000 Japanese invaders led by the 10,000 Japanese invaders landed on the coast of Zhejiang. 10,000 Japanese soldiers pointed directly at Taizhou Mansion!

The situation was urgent, and Chen Di summoned Taizhou civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures at the government office.

Taizhou's civil and military officials are divided into two factions at the moment.

One faction is headed by Wang Yongji, a fellow governor of Taizhou. They advocated that the Flying Tigers rely on the walls of Taizhou to defend themselves.

Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others advocated going out of the city and fighting against the Japanese invaders.

Chen Di naturally advocated that the Flying Tiger Army go out of the city to fight. You know, only in the wild, the "Eight Formations of the Iron Bucket King" can exert its power!

The Japanese Bandits' military strength is more than three times that of the Flying Tiger Army, and Chen Di is confident that he can defeat them!

Chen Di said loudly: "You don't have to argue! I have decided that the Flying Tigers will attack with all their troops and fight the Japanese Invaders outside the city! The Taizhou Guard Army is holding on to Taizhou City and protecting the people in Taizhou City! ”

At the boundary of Taizhou, Chen Di's words were like a holy decree. The officials expressed their willingness to live and die with Taizhou.

Chen Di asked the officials to retreat, leaving only Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang.

Chen Di asked Tang Shunzhi: "Can the Taizhou Weisuo Army be reliable after you reorganize it?" I asked them to guard Taizhou City, and they should not harm the people in the city. ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "Don't worry, adults! Although these guards are not of great use, after all these years of training, it is more than enough to defend the city. I have also promulgated seven military regulations, if you attack the people, you will be killed! ”

Chen Di nodded, and asked Yu Dayou again: "How is the training of the 1,000 recruits?" Do you have what it takes to participate in this battle? ”

Yu Dayou replied: "These recruits are not ready yet. But then again, a recruit pulls into the battlefield to fight a battle, smells blood, and becomes a veteran! ”

Chen Di ordered Qi Jiguang again: "The dozen or so Fulong machine guns, as well as the Shenwu General Cannon, will be brought together for this sortie!" ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Okay! ”

Chen Di said to Qi Jiguang: "In addition to bringing all the guns, the Fulong machine gun must also be prepared with enough loose guns!" ”

Qi Jiguang asked, "Sanzi?" ”

Chen Di said: "That's right! It's iron sand! This Furlong cannon is loaded with iron sand and fired, which is perfect for dealing with the dense charge of the enemy! ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Iron sand is easy to obtain, and all the blacksmith shops in Taizhou City have this thing!" ”

Chen Di asked Tang Shunzhi again: "How long will it take for the Japanese to enter the boundary of Taizhou?" ”

Tang Shunzhi replied: "The spies have come to report, and the Japanese will be able to reach the outside of Taizhou City one day." ”

Chen Di took a map, pointed to the map and said, "Three of you, please see, if the Japanese want to attack Tianzhou City, they must pass through Beipo Town. Let's take the Flying Tiger Army to stop the Japanese in Beipo Town! ”

Yu Dayou said: "With the magic weapon of the 'Iron Bucket King Eight Formations', I don't think there is any need to make any twists and turns with the Japanese Kou!" Just let the 'Eight Formations of the Iron Bucket King' press it over! ”

Chen Di shook his head: "The reason why we were able to achieve a great victory in Haicheng Port is because in the night, the Japanese robbers can't figure out our routine. The Japanese are not stupid, if they really see through the doorway of the 'Iron Bucket King Eight Formations', they will never crash into our formation like an egg hitting a stone! ”

Yu Dayou said: "Then third brother, why do you say this battle is going to be fought?" ”

Chen Di said: "Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Only by standby, the soldiers will cover the water and the earth! The three of you will immediately go and gather the Flying Tiger Army, and in an hour, we will immediately set off for Beipo Town! ”

Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang took the order and left.

At this time, Liang Erhei found Chen Di.

At this time, Liang Erhei became the messenger between Chen Di and Yan Song. Chen Di's letters and filial piety to Yan Song were all sent to the capital by Liang Erhei.

Liang Erhei said to Chen Di: "My lord, I heard that you are about to go out of the city to fight the Japanese invaders?" ”

Chen Di nodded: "Yes." ”

Liang Erhei said: "Our old Liang has been practicing martial arts for many years, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy for the country." This time, I went to the capital to help you deliver the letter, just in time for the current battle! I hope you can take me out of the city to kill the enemy! ”

Chen Di said: "Okay! You're always there with me! ”
