Chapter 211: The Wo Kou I
Zhao Qianhu hurriedly followed the scout to the watchtower.
Standing on the tower, I saw a fire on the sea level in the distance.
According to his many years of experience, there are more than a dozen ships there, and they do not look like the ships of the Japanese Invaders.
Never had a Japanese ship come so blatantly close to the shore with its lights lit.
Because, although the Japanese are ferocious, they really dare not clash head-on with the officers and soldiers, especially in this area, which is the mouth of Wenzhou and has many guards.
After lighting the beacon fire, there was a response, and the Japanese could not take advantage of it.
"My lord, do you need to light a beacon fire and ask for support?" A flag general asked in a trembling voice.
Those ships in the distance, not to mention thousands of Japanese invaders, they have less than a thousand people here, and besides, there is still a war on the river, and when the Japanese invaders come, they will be attacked on their backs, and then they will be in trouble.
"Send out the scouts to see what those ships are all about?" Zhao Qianhu said nervously.
Immediately, a dinghy was launched.
Zhao Qianhu held the railing on the watchtower tightly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.
He has been stationed in the local area for many years, and there are maritime forces of this scale, except for the Japanese pirates on the distant islands, which are the maritime forces guarded by Taizhou.
Because the capital of the Ming Dynasty is alive in Nanjing, Hangzhou and Nanjing are separated by a strip of water, and it is an important place in Gyeonggi, how can it tolerate the nonsense of the Japanese invaders?
In the second year of Hongwu, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang first cleared the Japanese invaders here, and the Japanese invaders were defeated at that time.
Subsequently, Zhang Shicheng's old department was recruited along the coast, and the people and people established a sailor.
Although the scale is not as huge as when Zheng He went to the West, it is more than enough to deal with the Japanese invaders.
Although the Japanese were rampant, they never dared to approach Suzhou and Nanjing, and now 20 years have passed. Naturally, as a key point to defend against the Japanese invaders, Taizhou also established a water division.
More than a dozen warships have been built, and over the years there have been confrontations with the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese have fled.
Zhao Qianhu knew that if the ship in front of him was not a Japanese robber, it would be a sailor in Taizhou.
Behind him, the remnants of the Wen family were being purged, and it was very likely that the Taizhou sailors who were on a mission heard the movement here and rushed here to reinforce them.
This is where things get tricky.
Once the Taizhou sailor is involved, the consequences are unimaginable.
Most importantly. The Wen family's smuggling had a close connection with their Pan Shiwei, and if the sailors on the ship let the Taizhou sailors arrest them, it was very likely that both he and Commander Zhou would be exposed.
When Zhao Qianhu thought of this, his scalp was a little numb.
However, it is the old saying that is printed - the house leak coincides with the overnight rain.
The boat that went out to spy had returned, and the scout on the boat knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, in the distance is the Taizhou Navy warship. ”
"What? You can't be mistaken, right? Zhao Qianhu asked.
"Absolutely not." Serve the fist holder.
The people behind Zhao Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were not widows. At the very least, they can't lose their lives.
However, this time it was Zhao Qianhu's turn to face ashes.
It seemed that the warship in the distance had no intention of slowing down or leaving, once ashore. Sooner or later, it will be exposed.
"Black dog, you come." Zhao Qianhu shouted.
"My lord, what do you command?" The black dog is Lao Zhao's personal soldier, and he naturally believes in people the most.
"Go and inform Commander Zhou immediately. Let's just say that the Taizhou sailor suddenly appeared. The situation is unknown, go quickly. Zhao Qianhu said.
The black dog rolled over and headed for the stable.
At this moment, Li Yunchang was carrying his hands behind his back. Stand in the bow of the main ship.
The ship rode the wind and waves, and the salty and wet sea breeze came in front of him, mixed with the mist that wet his armor.
It was getting closer and closer to the Ning Village Office, but I saw the fire on the side of the Ning Village Office.
He didn't know exactly what was going on.
Today, according to the original plan, the Wen family's ship was stopped by him before it went to sea.
The stolen goods were captured, and then Zhao Qianhu was arrested, and then Pan Shiwei was completely controlled.
Subsequently, with evidence, as long as it goes to the imperial court, it is another great achievement.
However, the situation in front of him made him a little overwhelmed.
"Could it be that the Woko have landed?" Li Yunchang muttered quietly.
But when you think about it, it's unlikely, the Japanese don't have the guts.
Before I went to Taizhou, I heard that the officers and soldiers in the guard said how fierce and powerful the Japanese were and how powerful they were.
However, after a few confrontations in Taizhou, I feel a bit exaggerated.
The Wako are indeed ferocious, brave in battle, and skilled in tactics, extremely cunning.
However, in the end, it is a rabble, and the supply and logistics are almost zero.
Once the confrontation does not take advantage, it will be defeated.
I met the Japanese several times at sea, and the Japanese fled from the wind.
He was very annoyed by the fact that he had captured a few captives and cut his stomach at every turn.
If he bumped into a wolf here today, he glanced at the layout of the Ning Village Office, and said with a smile: "Picking grass and beating rabbits, there is an unexpected harvest." Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu, you are really the lucky star of this official. ”
"My lord, it's time to dock. Do you need to send someone to Ningcun to contact you? A staff officer said.
Li Yunchang shook his head and said, "Pass the order and get ready for battle." As soon as we land, whether it is a Japanese or an officer or an officer, they dare to provoke us and kill us. ”
The general was stunned, this order was meaningful, but the military order was like a mountain, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly went down to convey the order.
In less than a stick of incense, Li Yunchang's fleet arrived at the mouth of the Yongjia River.
As soon as he arrived at the shore, he put down his windsurfing board, and the Taizhou sailors who were on standby began to disembark immediately.
Li Yunchang, escorted by his own soldiers, had just arrived at the dock and saw a team of about dozens of people coming from a distance, led by Zhao Qianhu.
"My lord, Panshiwei Zhao Yonggang asks to see you." A scout ran over and said.
Li Yunchang's face sank like water, and he waved his big hand and said, "Let him come to see me." ”
At this time, Zhao Qianhu, who was covered in armor, hurried to the dock and saluted Li Yunchang when he saw him.
Li Yunchang asked, "What's going on here?" ”
"My lord, there are Diao people who disguise themselves as Japanese and go to sea. I was bumped into by my patrol, and I am clearing it at the moment. Zhao Qianhu said.
Li Yunchang judged by the light of the fire there that it was definitely not a small boat that caught fire.
Ordinary people, where can they afford to buy big ships?
couldn't help frowning and said: "No wonder the Japanese have not been able to clear it several times, it turns out that someone is doing the internal cause." Zhao Qianhu, you did a good job. However, this matter is related to the defense of Taizhou, and from now on, you will immediately ask your people to evacuate here. and give us all the captives. ”
Li Yunchang is the deputy commander-in-chief and has the right to transfer troops, so Zhao Qianhu naturally has to listen to his orders, but Zhao Qianhu said with a sad face: "My lord, the brothers have easily handled a case. Now the battle is almost over. It's better for the adults to wait here, and they won't bother the adults to make a move. ”
Li Yunchang sneered: "What? Do you dare to disobey military orders? Come on, take it for me! (To be continued......)
