Chapter 202: Coastal Defense (5)
More than 100 people in the water village, frightened by three or five Japanese robbers, Chen Yu has reason to believe that this time the Japanese are not here to attack, they just want to test the strength of the Ming army, and fortunately, Shen Fei and Qi Jingtong and others are there.

Although they are not a navy, they can at least scare the Japanese and make them dare not attack the inland for a short time.
Although the reason for the weakness of the army has a lot to do with the lack of payment of military salaries in the imperial court, the inaction and laissez-faire of the army commanders are also a very important reason.
The attack on Shenjiamen this time suddenly spread in Zhoushan, and early the next morning, two thousand households hurriedly came to Shenjiamen Water Village.
There are no soldiers in the water village, just a few Chen Yu.
Originally, the quota of the water village was already very false, and the water village, which was originally two or three hundred people, ran away and ran away, and bought land to buy land, which has long existed in name only, but Shangguan did not report such a situation.
As long as their quota is there, the imperial court will pay the military salary, who says that it is less, but it will also be paid, and those who are not in the army, the military salary will naturally go to the waist of the official.
Seeing Lin Yuan and Zhe Hongwei, Chen Yu was angry, his face was pale, and he looked at the two of them coldly, and his eyes made the two thousand households hairy.
But these two did not have a trace of fear, the whole Zhejiang had already been tied, and even Liu Jing and Eunuch Liu would not say anything.
Not only did he not say anything, but he would also speak for the two of them, and Eunuch Liu asked, "Lord Chen, I heard that it was attacked last night?" This Shen family is not very peaceful, why did you come here? ”
"This official is the imperial history of the capital, and the governor of Zhejiang is within his own business, why do you say I came here?" Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Oh, Lord Chen is really a good official in the world." Liu Jing said with a look of admiration.
Chen Yu had already realized that this dead eunuch had already been bought off by Lin Yuan and the two thousand households, otherwise he would not have done everything possible to speak for these two people.
"I'll ask the two gentlemen." Chen Yupi smiled and said, "According to the custom, there should be 2,240 banner troops in the two thousand households, can you tell me, where are the 1,000 people?" ”
Lin Yuan and the others said unhurriedly: "Lord Chen doesn't know, there are four positions in this guard, namely the pass, the military administration, the storage and transportation, and the tuntian, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are in charge of the transportation and tuntian. ”
They Duan Ran didn't dare to say that the thousand people had already run away, as soon as this was said, Chen Yu would definitely ask, since they had run away, why didn't the imperial court know? Where did the annual military pay go?
"Oh? Really? Chen Yu smiled, his face seemed to have insight into everything, which made the two thousands of households frightened.
He said, "My lord, don't be so deep in this matter, right?" Lord Lin, Lord Zhe, and Lord Peng must also know that Lord Chen also knows that we are all a family, so it is better to go back to the Thousand Households, I have a few good pearls on the sea, why don't I go and have a good time? ”
The potential meaning of these two people saying this is, don't continue to investigate, we are all Fujian merchants, and we also know your identity, we are happy to send you something back to Qianhu, and it is not good for anyone to check it!
Eunuch Liu on the side saw that he didn't receive any less benefits last night, and he said with a smile: "Exactly, what are we doing here?" If the Japanese slaves who were killed that day come back, it will be a big deal. ”
When Chen Yu heard this, the anger in his chest grew, and he smiled coldly: "According to Lord Liu's meaning, if this widow comes again, we will listen to it and let it go?" ”
"Isn't it? The widows often come to disturb and disturb, and they don't dare to go inland at all, I know all this, don't worry, nothing will happen! Eunuch Liu said with great certainty.
"Have you ever wondered what their temptation is for now?" Chen Yu's words stunned the three eunuchs Liu, and then they heard Chen Yu continue: "They are just exploring the strength and weakness of the Daming Banner Army, so as to prepare for entering the mainland in the future. ”
The champion is the champion, out of the book bag, I don't know what else to do? Lin Yuan thought of it with great disdain, but he couldn't show it on his face, and said with a look of listening to the teachings: "What the adults said is true, I will correct it next time." ”
"Well, Chen Yu nodded." Then he said: "You must do your best in the military drills along the coast, and there are still more than 1,000 people in the blanks, hurry up and fill them in for the officials, and pay close attention to the drills." ”
When Lin Yuan and the others heard this, their hanging hearts finally let go, they were really afraid that Chen Yu would deal with themselves like they would deal with Prefect Peng, but they didn't dare to measure him!
Their Peng family doesn't have handles, don't think that our Lin family and the Zhe family are too, Chen Yu wants to deal with himself, first of all, he must weigh his own weight and see if the hair under his crotch has grown!
A hairy boy in his twenties, Lao Tzu has eaten more than you have ever eaten...... Bah! Lao Tzu has eaten more than you have ever eaten! Hey? How does it feel like something is wrong? Forget it, so be it!
In any case, from the first day Chen Yu came to Zhoushan, these two thousand households did not take Chen Yu seriously, in the imperial court, you have Liu Jin and my Fujian businessmen to take care of you to stand, don't really take yourself seriously!
Chen Yu didn't stay, continued to go south, and sat on the warship, Qi Jingtong asked Chen Yu puzzled: "Why don't you rectify the Fa on the spot?" ”
Since following Chen Yu, Qi Jingtong has learned more and more, and he has seen more and more ugly appearances of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jingtong didn't want to follow Chen Yu when he was in Shaanxi, but now he sees everything Chen Yu has done, in fact, it is not safer than Shaanxi, so he still admires Chen Yu from the bottom of his heart.
Especially this kid has strategy and iron-blooded skills, these two things are really better than Yang Yiqing!
"If you take someone, you must take someone, but what about after you take someone?" Chen Yu muttered, "I haven't thought of a detailed plan yet, so it's not suitable for arrest now, besides, it can be regarded as giving those two thousand households a chance, you let the people from the inner factory keep an eye on Zhoushan for me, and report at any time." ”
Qi Jingtong nodded, Chen Yu was right, now he also knows Chen Yu's style of acting, he usually starts when he ensures his own safety, and the reason why he doesn't do it now is that he is afraid that he is still afraid of those two people.
Chen Yu's cruiser continued to move forward, and he spread out the map on the deck, feeling the cold sea breeze, and determined where to stop next.
Chen Yu chose the Big and Small Mo Mountains, and Wei Wenli asked strangely, "There is no military garrison here, and there are no coastal sea people, why do you want to listen here?" ”
Chen Yu didn't answer, pointed to Daqushan and Daishan on the east side of Zhoushan on the map, and asked, "Is there no military garrison and sea people here?" ”
Wei Wenli nodded, "Emperor Taizu once set up Chang Guowei here, garrisoned troops, Hongwu twenty years had let Xinguo Gongtang and Jingluo Zhejiang coastal defense, he considered that the Zhoushan Islands were isolated and out, in case of war, the people were isolated and helpless, so they all migrated to the interior, and moved Changguowei to Xiangshan, which is now Changguowei. In Zhoushan, there are thousands of households in the middle and left, which belong to Dinghaiwei. ”
"Now there are only more than 500 households in Zhoushan!"
After hearing this, Chen Yu rubbed his head, and still praised Wei Wenli, "It's not wrong to let you pass through Zhejiang Haiphong." ”
"The lower officials are very ashamed!" Wei Wenli lowered his head.
"There are grains and grains here, and there are fish and salt, if you give up this piece of coastal defense, wouldn't it give the Japanese a good chance to rest? They can use this as a springboard to increase supplies and then invade the interior! ”
"It is precisely like this, and the abandonment of Zhoushan Islands has to be said to be a great military mistake!" Wei Wenli nodded sympathetically, "Once a guard is set up here, it will be a heavenly sting that hinders the Japanese from coming to the west, and if the Japanese invade again, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky." ”
Wei Wenli continued, "As long as there is a beacon fire here, within a few hours, the follow-up troops of Zhoushan will arrive, and the Japanese will not be able to cross it at all, and the lack of fresh water resources will also extinguish the Japanese trouble!" ”
Chen Yu nodded, "It's just that there are barren mountains here, and they can only rely on the benefits of fish and salt along the coast, if they really migrate the people back, plus heavy servitude, I'm afraid they will still escape." ”
"Lord Chen has thought about it a lot, and the officials haven't taken this into account." Wei Wenli admired Chen Yu very much.
"But what if it's a reduction?" Chen Yu said to himself.
"There must be a lot of people willing to go!" Wei Wenli's eyes showed a gleam, "If this piece of coastal defense can really be built, it will be a great good thing!" ”
While talking, a few people came to the big and small Mo Mountain, which is a lonely island in the north of Putuo Mountain, west is Shenjiamen, and in the west is Qitou, from here to land in Ningbo Mansion is an excellent place.
Therefore, just looking at the military position, the big and small Moshan mountains are also very important, and then speaking, the islands near Zhoushan are very important, so it is so important to establish a guard here.
Damoshan Island is very wide, go to Shenjiamen to say half an hour of sailing time, here is overgrown with grass, the more like the inland, Chen Yu found that this is an excellent place to irrigate grain, the land here is fertile, conducive to planting.
After considering the surrounding freshwater resources again, Chen Yu couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Qi Jingtong asked puzzledly, "My lord, what are you laughing at?" It's all withered grass. ”
"Yes." Chen Yu said with a smile, "It's because of these dead grasses that you can choose the pilot area here!" ”
"What? What does it mean? What is a pilot? Qi Jingtong asked.
"Grain pilot site, fishermen's pilot site!" Chen Yu said, "This place is close to Shenjiamen, has military protection, and is close to the inland, so it is best to pilot here!" ”
Qi Jingtong's eyes widened, obviously not knowing what Chen Yu meant.
When leaving, Chen Yu once again wrote down his plans, opinions, and the land environment on Damo Mountain.
"My lord, where are we going now? Do you want to go south? Wei Wenli saw that Chen Yu had finished writing, so he went up and asked.
"No, China Eastern Airlines will go to Daishan and Daqushan to have a look!"
"My lord......" Wei Wenli heard about Chen Yu's plan, and stopped talking. (To be continued.) )
