Chapter 24: Night Attack
"Yes, Runyin, I want to leave this place, and I don't want to see these officials in Ningbo again, and that Ruizo who has lost his integrity!" Zong Shi sighed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Master, you don't want to see them again, there is another way, you don't have to leave." Runyin said.
"Oh? What else can be done? Oh! You mean......" Zong Shi looked at Runyin.
Runyin smiled at Zong Shi and nodded.
Zong imagined the humiliation of the Ming officials at the banquet just now, and clenched his fists, all of which was seen by Runyin. She continued: "There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that buying and selling does not become benevolent and righteous. And the officials of the Ming Dynasty don't treat you like a human being at all? ”
Zong Shi stood up from his seat and said, "You're right, he's unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" ”
"In the past, you often persuaded my father to lobby the Ming Dynasty and make peace with it, and hoped that the Ming Dynasty would resume maritime trade and no longer implement the maritime ban policy. Now, do you see clearly? The Ming Dynasty will not let us get rich. If we want to be rich, if we want to get this rich place, we have to be hard! Runyin said.
"Good. But we have too few people, I'm afraid it's hard to do anything! Zong Shi said.
"Who says we're few? Our people have come to Ningbo! Runyin said.
"What? Our people? Zong Shi was surprised.
"Yes. This time, I contacted the pirates from all sides, and among them was the relatively powerful village, and now there are 1,000 people. I think, these people are enough to give the Ming officials a look? What do you say? Runyin hugged her shoulders as she spoke, looking very confident.
"Good. However, they usually fight on their own, do not belong to each other, and dominate one side. Now we need to have a unified command. Zong Shi thought about it for a moment and said.
"Yes. They were all recruited by me, with only one purpose, to grab money. But I, as a woman, am not in a position to direct them. And Master, you have a good reputation, and even thieves like Murakita are admired for your flying knife martial arts, and you are brave and resourceful, so I think you can take on this heavy responsibility! "Runyin, this is provoking.
Hearing that Runyin was giving him an appointment order, Zong Shi said, "Ah, Runyin, you have changed, and you are becoming more and more like your father, Lord Nei Yixing. ”
"My father's resourcefulness, the little girl admires it very much, and I am still far from my father." Runyin said modestly.
"Okay, I'll be the commander!" Zong Shi said.
"Very well, Master, look, what is this?"
"Map of Zhejiang!"
"Yes, our plan is to attack Ningbo tonight and kill a few people you don't want to see again to sacrifice the flag!" Runyin said.
At night, the sea breeze blows through this bustling city, carrying some moisture and humidity over the land. The sky lost its former color and became pitch black. In the darkness of the night, many hurried people were approaching this place of temporary tranquility, and they ran towards the city gate.
Coming to the outside of the city wall, several martial arts warriors took out ropes and threw them at Xiao Wall. I saw that the rope went up to the city wall and hooked it up. They tightened their ropes, kicked their feet against the wall, and soon climbed on the ground, step by step. When he arrived at the city wall, he drew his sword and cut the throats of several soldiers who were sitting against the wall and dozing off, and his movements were crisp and neat.
They slaughtered from the walls to the bottom of the city, and did not spare a single soldier patrolling the city. Then the gates of the city were opened, and a thousand widows swarmed in. At this moment, a knocking voice came: "The weather is dry, be careful of the candle!" Anti-theft, close doors and windows, big ghosts and small ghosts sit in rows, safe and sound! The watchman yawned, looked up, obedient, terrible, and shouted: "Hurry! Help, run, the widow is coming! ”
With a "whoosh", an arrow pierced his heart.
"Rob!" Zong set an order. The widows began to smash doors and windows from house to house, killing people and robbing things when they saw them. The silent night was broken for a while, and the sounds of killing, crying, crying for help, and fighting were endless. Many people were still asleep when the widows smashed open the gates, and the sleeping people were slashed to death without a knife.
"Oh no, sir!" Many people ran to the yamen of the Ningbo prefect, and they desperately smashed the door and shouted.
The porter opened the door, and the people rushed to the backyard of the government at once. They were stopped by the guards of the guards.
The lights in Lord Xu's room turned on, and an impatient voice came: "Who?" Come in the middle of the night to make trouble. Get back in here. ”
"My lord, you have to take care of it, the widow is here, and he killed many of us!" The people shouted loudly.
With a squeak, the door opened, "What?" You repeat! Master Xu came out wearing only a thin shirt, and he still smelled of wine.
A bold man stepped forward and said, "The widow is here, can you still sleep?" They've already made their way into the city! ”
"Ahh Kill in, how can this be? Come on, go and tie up that guy from Rezzo. For a while, the situation was urgent, and he didn't want to arrest Song Suqing. Xu Tong paced back and forth, a gust of wind blew, and his wine was half awake. "Also, go and find Xu Jin, the commander of the preparation of the Japanese capital, Liu Bo of thousands of households, take the small road, don't meet the Japanese Kou!"
"Subordinates obey." The two officials went their separate ways.
Xu Tong looked up and saw that the people were still looking straight at him, waved his hand and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" The officer has already transferred his troops. Hurry up and run! The farther you run, the better. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up." The people were babbling.
"How so!" Xu Tong shouted. "Someone, prepare the horses! Also, after a while, when the envoy of the Japanese kingdom came, he was imprisoned first, and he will be dealt with after the official returns! ”
After speaking, Lord Xu took two officials on fast horses and fled to the other city gates.
Along the way, there were fires everywhere, and the whole city was crying and shouting. Lord Xu couldn't care about it so much, he just wanted to live first. Go back and ask for support from the Yamen. What's more, he has already sent people to transfer troops. At this time, there was no rebellion in the area of the north gate, but the people were in a panic, and everyone crowded at the north gate, demanding to open the city gate and escape from the city.
Lord Xu saw that the black pressure was full of people, and he wanted to run away without realizing it, but it seems that it is not possible now. It's a little more dangerous to change the city gate, and now you can't be afraid of being impeached, your life matters!
He went to the bottom of the city, found the soldiers defending the city, and asked them to open the gates. When the soldiers saw that the prefect had come in person, they naturally did not dare to slack off and slowly opened the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, a group of soldiers rushed in.
