142, the curtain is slowly opened
On the thirteenth day of August in the seventh year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Hao, the lord of Luo Dong, was full of joy.
At the beginning, there were eight mountains near Qinzhou, and a few years ago, the four mountains betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and by the way, they also dedicated the population territory to Annan, and the result was of course a fat beating. Because of his proximity to Qinzhou, Shi Luotong did not participate in the rebellion, so although he was also in the war, he did not break his bones.
"Master Yu, you just have to rest assured." He looked at Yu Guozhen's gift with a smile, and his eyes did not take off these brocades, cotton and porcelain from the Central Plains, which made him very happy, and what made him even happier was the promise made by Yu Guozhen.
Thirty bird guns and matching gunpowder, for Shi Luotong, this is a "so there is a lord of Laodong." Yu Guozhen arched his hand.
Shi Luotong is the last piece of the puzzle of his big plan, and it is also one of the two pieces of his plan that are not under his control.
It can be regarded as a small robbery by him by fire, but if you want to have a harvest, you must pay, thinking of the harvest after the success of his plan, Yu Guozhen felt that thirty bird guns were nothing at all.
"In this way, I will come to see the lord again in the future."
"Good walk...... Brother Zhu, you send Yu Gongzi for me. ”
Brother Luo Zhu followed Yu Guozhen and sent him out of the village, and when he arrived at the door, he couldn't help it and complained: "Yu Gongzi, my sister-in-law is so happy, why is it like this?" ”
"You used to jump on the ridge, did anyone come to make trouble?"
"Yes, like those fools in the past, they will occasionally come to make trouble."
"Then you will treat the people who came this time as fools as they used to be." Yu Guozhen turned his face and looked at this Dong man: "But they came well, at least...... This wedding will be unprecedentedly lively! ”
Shi Luo Dong and Xinxiang Village are only separated by a not very wide Yuhong River, that is, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it took more than two hours after leaving Shi Luo Dong before they arrived at the Yuhong River.
"Little official, this is it." Luo Jiuhe pointed to the boat by the river.
Yu Guozhen nodded: "Don't leave anyone here the day after tomorrow, there may not be no smart ones among the thieves, if we can get rid of our boat, we will hear the news and come back to help, and when we get to the riverside, we can only cry out in vain." ”
"Yes." Luo Jiuhe laughed: "They just said that we all went to cheer for the veteran, but they didn't think that we deliberately didn't leave anyone to watch the boat." ”
"The news from Yu Dahai that the rabble will start attacking the Dragon Gate after noon, but it's a pity that we don't have a water master, otherwise this piece of fat can be swallowed by us completely." Yu Guozhen was a little regretful: "More than 3,000 pirates...... Even if Zhang Dascara brags, there are always fifteen or six hundred, plus Liu Xiang's five hundred, two thousand sailors. ”
"The petty officials are all caught, and we can't use them with confidence." Luo Jiuhe said with a smile: "The little official is greedy. ”
"yes, I'm greedy." Yu Guozhen also laughed.
The boat sent them close to the dock, and when he came back, he was already waiting at the dock to meet the shore: "Little official, the affairs of Qinzhou are done!" ”
"Yes, you're ready for food and drinks?"
"According to the orders of the petty officials, not only the wine and food were prepared, but all the things needed to entertain the guests were prepared. Lord Zhizhou said that he was originally going to come, but he had temporary official business, so he could only sue for the crime. ”
No one else could understand their conversation on the docks, but they themselves knew what it meant. Yu Guozhen looked around: "Okay, then there will be a banquet on the dock at noon, and there is no such a big cement flat in the stockade." ”
He was referring to the large cement floor outside the wharf for stockpiling, in fact, it was only completed in less than ten days, and this is a small rectangular square with a size of three acres, which is indeed suitable for banquets. And, on this side, two rows of warehouses were built out of freshly fired red bricks, including a kitchen.
"Right here?" Jiang An was stunned for a moment: "Not in the stockade?" ”
"Well, there will be a lot of guests coming, there are always inconvenient times in the stockade, and to prevent people from sneaking in, some time ago you can catch a few every day, you won't forget about it, right?" Yu Guozhen said.
"Yes, yes." Everyone is the only one.
"However, I'm afraid that the weather will be bad that day, so let's build a shed temporarily, anyway, the frame or something is ready-made." Yu Guozhen said again.
With Yu Guozhen's order, the dock suddenly became busy, cleaning up the site, and transporting the frame of the shed, as if it had been prepared for a long time, and his order was carried out. This is also a major feature of Xinxiang, those teenagers who quit the guard due to injury have become the managers of the backbone, and their loyalty to Yu Guozhen is still there, so Yu Guozhen's orders have been carried out by them in the shortest possible time.
This makes Xinxiang's efficiency different from other places, where things that take two days to procrastinate will begin to be implemented here within half an hour.
A fishing boat carrying fish was docked at the pier at this time, and the fishermen on the fishing boat looked in amazement at these people who were moving like the wind.
One of these fishermen had a sparkling eye, trying to avoid the attention of the new Xiangzhai people on the pier as much as possible. He heard the conversation between Yu Guozhen and his subordinates clearly, and at the same time secretly remembered it in his heart.
After the fishing boat sold a boatload of fish, it went out to sea, and after Longmen Island, another boat was waiting outside. The person with twinkling eyes changed into this boat, and as soon as he saw Zhang Da Scara on the boat, he said loudly: "Brother Zhang is clever, although that guy is on guard, he doesn't know our movements yet!" ”
Zhang Dascara asked carefully one by one, and after hearing that Yu Guozhen had arranged the banquet on the dock square, he also specifically mentioned that the officers and soldiers of Longmen Island and several nearby piers were also summoned to eat and drink, Zhang Dascara was overjoyed: "Okay, good, sure enough, God will help me!" ”
Yu Dahai, who was beside him, frowned: "Brother Zhang, I think ...... Something is wrong. ”
"What, Brother Yu, what did you find?" Zhang Da Scara was in the head of interest, and he was slightly unhappy when he heard the words.
"The younger brother feels that it seems that all this is going too smoothly, and that Yu Zhai master is almost facing us to bring people together......"
"Haha, Brother Yu is too cautious, if the master of Yu Zhai really welcomes us to transfer people, he will transfer people to other places, not to Xinxiang Village. He summoned so many people to feast and drink, but it caused us a lot of trouble, originally there were only a few hundred people in the village, but now there are more than a thousand young people! ”
Speaking of this, he smiled again: "However, this is indeed in line with my intentions, after destroying these more than 1,000 young people in Xinxiangzhai, there will only be more than 100 people left in Qinzhou City to guard it, and it will be effortless to capture Qinzhou City!" ”
Yu Dahai suddenly realized: "Brother Zhang is right, the younger brother is too careful. ”
Xun Shilu interjected on the side: "There is no big mistake in being careful, there must indeed be a character around Brother Zhang who can always remind Brother Zhang." ”
The two of them sang and harmonized, Zhang Dascara didn't care, and laughed: "Don't say this, don't say this, now everything is available, only the east wind is owed, all the brothers talk about it, and then we should behave how to act!" ”
"What else to say, we have thousands of people, we have already prepared, just rush up and fight." Someone shouted.
"If Brother Zhang acts like this, even if he wins this time, he will inevitably suffer setbacks in the future." Yu Dahai once again stepped forward to play a contrarian role: "Brother Zhang is right, the brothers of the family need to discuss it, only in this way can they ......"
"Yu Dahai, what are you, just a commodity who escaped from Liu Xianglao's side, and you dare to repeatedly sweep the interest of the brothers?" The man interrupted him rudely: "Brother Zhang gave you face, so he rewarded you with a leader, and you still think you are really a character?" ”
Yu Dahai's face suddenly sank, and he glanced at the man, but it was a pirate leader that Zhang Da Scara had always trusted. This person is accustomed to figuring out Zhang Da Scarla's intentions, and his reprimand is actually Zhang Da Scarla's statement.
However, Yu Dahai is not ready to back down, he has been floating on the sea for more than 20 years, and he has long known what pirates respect most.
"Whether I'm a character or not, it doesn't matter if you say it, and it doesn't count if I say it myself." He said coldly: "Can it help Brother Zhang, this is what it is...... What can you do for Brother Zhang? Later, you said to attack the village, do you dare to be the first to rush? ”
"Why don't you dare, isn't it just a small broken village with dozens of firearms, what's so scary?" The man said angrily, "What about you, do you dare? ”
"Well, I'll take my brother and be the first to show you. Brother Zhang, please give an order, and then say that I am a pioneer! ”
Zhang Dascara was about to agree, but saw Yu Dahai with a hidden smile on his face. He summoned dozens of groups of people throughout Xihai, except for those Annan people, most of them didn't take him seriously, and they all fought for merit, Yu Dahai was usually not so active, but now he suddenly wanted to be the first to break the village, and the intention made him think about it secretly.
A person next to him leaned into his ear and whispered, "Gold and silver, prestige." ”
If Yu Guozhen was here, of course he would recognize that this person was the leader of the fast hunt who had colluded with Jiang Zhongliu. After Wang Chuanlu took office and Jiang Zhongliu drowned, he lost his trace, such a small person, Yu Guozhen never took it to heart, but he came to take refuge with Zhang Dascarla, who had known him for a long time.
After receiving this reminder, Zhang Dascara immediately felt that he understood Yu Dahai's thoughts.
This battle has two major benefits, the first is the gold and silver hidden in the new Xiangzhai, and the other is the integration of the maritime forces of the entire West Sea. He got the news from the leader of the fast hunting that there were at least more than 200,000 taels of gold and silver in Xinxiang Village, if Yu Dahai broke the village first, then he would be in the limelight in front of the various forces, and after entering the village first, not to mention that he could get the richest spoils, even if he hid a part of it himself, it was enough to make Zhang Da Scar feel pain!
Thinking of this, Zhang Dascara smiled and said: "Brother Yu, there are many of us, breaking a small village is really not a skill, but there is another matter, I want to ask Brother Yu to help." ”
Yu Dahai arched his hand and said reluctantly: "Brother Zhang, please command." ”
