Chapter 216: The Widow Six
Zhang Mu turned around twice in the cabin and asked cautiously, "Has Master Li ever fought with the Japanese Invaders?" ”
"During the days of taking over Taizhou, I have encountered so many times, but they are all on land, we occupy the right time and place, and the Japanese are not familiar with the place, but it is easy to deal with."
When Li Yunchang said this, he groaned and said: "However, although these widows are all barbarians, they are not ambiguous when they start a war. It was desperate to rush forward, and no one flinched. What impressed me the most was the other day when we trapped a small group of Japanese in the mountains. They fought with us in the mountains for seven or eight days.
In the end, when we ran out of ammunition and food, and even ate the corpses of our companions, the last of them resolutely chose to commit suicide when we surrounded them. I have to say that these Japanese ronins are indeed brave and ruthless characters. It's not easy to deal with. ”
Zhang Mu knew that in the early Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were basically real Japanese, and in the middle and late periods, because of the impulse of maritime trade, a large number of fake Japanese were involved.
For the Japanese nation, Zhang Mu has a clear understanding, the Japanese are good at fighting and martial, in such a place where birds don't, if you want to survive, you can't hate poison.
However, when he heard that Li Yunchang had a clear understanding of the Japanese Invaders, he was relieved.
At least, Li Yunchang will not underestimate the enemy.
Zhang Mu hesitated for a moment and said: "Now I don't know how many Japanese people there are on the island, and I am afraid that I am not sure if I start a war rashly." This operation is about your Usha, my head. Carelessly. It's better to play a striker. Go out and find out. What do you think? ”
"Too dangerous, isn't it?" Li Yunchang shook his head and said.
"Wealth and danger are begging, Lord Li is willing to risk such a danger for me to go to sea to help, if it fails, I will die a little, I am afraid that it will affect the adults. Besides, this is a naval battle, and I don't know anything. It won't help much, so I'll give it a try, maybe there's something unexpected. Zhang Mu said with a smile.
Li Yunchang was also indecisive, if he was fighting on land, he would not be afraid of the Japanese invaders, but this naval battle was different.
The Japanese live on the island, and going to sea is like walking, and they are brave and ruthless, and they have been constantly rubbing with the sailors of the Ming Dynasty over the years. They are also trained to be very good at fighting. The routines of the Ming Dynasty sailors are clear.
If you don't touch the situation, you really don't know the bottom of your heart.
And this time he led his troops to the sea, and first cleared Wenzhou Panshiwei, which is of great importance in itself.
If there is no ironclad evidence of defeat, I am afraid that you will really not be able to eat and walk around, after all, those people in the court who are full of food and have nothing to do are staring at you all the time.
This kind of thing. I have to be cautious.
"Do you have to go?" Li Yunchang asked again and again.
When Zhang Mu heard him ask, he knew that Li Yunchang had made up his mind, so he smiled and said, "You have to go." ”
Li Yunchang sighed and smiled: "Then tell me about your plan." ”
Zhang Mu said with a smile: "When I was in Nanxijiang, I often chatted with Wen Desheng. I know it from his mouth. It turned out that the would-be coward who traded with him was not a group of people. Sometimes there are even three or four gangs of people. So every time he went ashore to see it first. Just in case. I'll take the Wen family's sailors and send me some more soldiers, and I'll go to the island first to find out the truth. You are here waiting for my intelligence. Know yourself and know your opponent. Fang Neng wins every battle. ”
"Well, there's really no better way to do it right now. So when are you going to leave? Li Yunchang asked.
"It's not early now, we've been delayed in Panshiwei for too long. I'm ready to go now. You prepare two small boats for me, and I will select a few Wen family sailors and set off first. Zhang Mu said.
"Okay, then I'll go and order someone to prepare." Li Yunchang immediately got up and said.
Afterwards, Zhang Mu went to the cell.
Most of the Wen family's sailors were held in prison cells.
Most of these sailors, Zhang Mu had seen them when he was in Nanxi River.
Zhang Mu held a torch, looked outside the cell door, and found a thin old man.
This is Wen Desheng's housekeeper in Nanxi River.
There is also a personal attendant, a captain.
Luck was not bad.
Zhang Mu pointed at the old housekeeper and said, "Get him out for me." ”
At that moment, the soldiers dragged the old housekeeper out, and the old housekeeper was not surprised at all when he saw Zhang Mu, with a little gloomy on his face, and he looked like he was at home.
"Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect us to meet here." Zhang Mu said with a smile.
The old housekeeper's face twisted, and he didn't want to look at Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu said: "I know you hate me in your heart, but I am an official, and you are a thief." It is a matter of ...... right to arrest you. ”
"!" Without waiting for Zhang Mu to finish speaking, the old housekeeper angrily reprimanded: "It's all because the owner is too imprudent, I told him a long time ago, you are not a trader at first glance." It's a pity that the owner didn't listen to me, but treated you like a brother. It was the people of the government who knew that you were a dog, and Lao Tzu should have killed you with a knife. ”
When Zhang Mu heard this, he was not angry, but said lightly: "Don't talk about these high-sounding righteous words." The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. No matter how righteous the rivers and lakes are, they cannot contradict the law of the country. Over the years, your Wen family has colluded with Haikou to make the people's livelihood in Wenzhou wither, and you have taken the opportunity to encroach on the surrounding land, forcing the people here to a dead end. If this is your righteous anger, I, Zhang, still have to take care of it. ”
The old housekeeper saw that he couldn't talk about Zhang Mu, so he began to pretend to be dead.
Zhang Mu whispered: "I know you're not afraid of death." I won't be hard for you either. Right now, the sailor is here, and the other side is the Wako. I don't bother to tell you what national righteousness is. I'll just ask you if you want your boss to live. ”
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, but then he sneered and said, "You are a three-year-old doll when you are an old man?" Are you when you are the emperor? Say you won't kill anyone if you don't kill anyone? ”
"Wen Desheng is a dead end, but whether his two sons are capital crimes or not, it is my final say. If I were to say that one of the sons of Wen Desheng was not found. I believe that Your Majesty will not blame me either. Whether you give a way to live or not, it's all up to you to think about it. Zhang Mu said with a smile.
The old housekeeper was still unsure for a while, he knew that what Zhang Mu said was not a lie, if this case was hosted by him, a slit flowing out of his palm would allow the juniors of the Wen family to live a few more.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "You won't lie to me, will you?" ”
"I have no enmity with your Wen family, and I do business. I have already made meritorious contributions to arresting your Wen family this time. It makes no difference to me that I kill more people and less people. Zhang Mu said with a smile.
The old butler said, "It sounds good, why should I believe you?" ”
Zhang Mu sneered: "You are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me. I'll wait for you for a quarter of an hour, and if you're ready, come to me on deck. ”
After speaking, Zhang Mu turned around and left. (To be continued......)
