0130 Battle of Qiantang
The rain of arrows of the guards was not lethal, and the fierce Japanese were fierce, and more than 20 Japanese soldiers rushed towards the group of officers and soldiers of the guard station with a roar. The leader is a shorter man, but he has an amazing bounce and still leaps on the soft sand.
Holding a long sword in his hand, he rushed single-handedly into the group of officers and soldiers, and jumped up with a roar, and the sword slashed down like a match. He was confronted by an officer with a gun, who neither raised his spear to stab nor met him with a spear, and when he saw that the man was extremely fierce, he screamed, and even threw away his gun and turned away.
The Japanese man slashed down with a sword, split his shoulders and back, and split the fleeing soldier in half diagonally, and then jumped like a frog, stabbing left and right in the guards' formation, swinging his knife up and down, and the timid officers and soldiers who were killed for a moment were in chaos.
At this time, the Japanese with all kinds of weapons in the back lined up in a long snake formation and rushed over, and Tane Qian always stood behind and waved his knife and just shouted: "Rush forward!" As soon as they saw that someone had been killed, they shouted in unison, and collectively turned around and ran backwards, carrying Chong Qian and several personal soldiers who also retreated for a while.
There are only 300 salt soldiers over there, which is equivalent to the chess and drums of the Japanese war, and the 500 regular troops here only fight with the enemy, and one soldier dies, and then they retreat collectively, looking at the eyes of Yang Ling, who does not know anything about the Jiangnan army, he only feels indignant and surprised to the extreme: How is this possible? 500 people against 20 people, and the pressure also crushed them to death, and the whole army retreated after only one hand?
Yang Ling's temples jumped suddenly, and the green tendons on his head were tensed, at this time, the hatred for the Japanese was not as good as the indisputability for his own people, Yang Ling turned around and was about to rush to the bottom of the pavilion, Mo Qinghe dragged him down, and said urgently: "My lord, the Jiangnan Guards have always been discouraged, and the Japanese are fierce and brutal, so whenever they encounter the enemy, they are often afraid and flee without a fight." Now that the guards have been defeated, there is no time to straighten out, adults must not go, if you have a delay, we are really finished! ”
Yang Ling listened to it and cleared his mind, remembering what he had said to them when he led the army to perform martial arts in the mountains, and now as the commander-in-chief, he is commanding here, and his role is far better than rushing to kill a vanguard in the front, and if he is really killed, at least the pro-army he brought will not retreat.
Thinking of this, he stopped, rushed to the front of the pavilion, and shouted to the fans who were waiting for the arrows: "You all come up for me."
Over there, more than 20 Japanese guards chased more than 500 guards like a tide, and looking at their skills, only the one who had just hit the front was very good at martial arts, and the ones behind were also ordinary, but the frightened guards all had the idea of letting others die and flee for their lives, and as long as they mustered up the courage to return to fight, it was enough to annihilate this group of Japanese soldiers with their numerical superiority, but they only cared about holding their heads and fleeing for their lives.
To Yang Ling's surprise, the seemingly polite Chong Qian did not retreat, he led nearly twenty pro-troops to be rushed by his own officers and soldiers, and was caught off guard by the Japanese who caught up and killed a few people, and then waved his knife and led the people to rush up.
Yang Ling couldn't help but show a look of joy when he saw it: Fortunately, although these soldiers are not angry, this kind of general manager will not command the battle, at least he knows how to be loyal to his duties.
Yang Ling directly sat in the position of a general, and he never started from the grassroots level at all, who knew that this poor Qianzong would not retreat, in fact, the real reason was not that he wanted to do his best to be loyal to what duty, but because he was still here.
The officers and soldiers of the guard station originally had the responsibility of defending the land, if they fled from the battle, they could lie to the top that the enemy was strong and had to retreat, but today there was a Qin cha, and this Qin cha guarded the front and did not leave.
Retreat is also death, not retreat is also death (in the heart of Mr. Chongqian, he doesn't think he is a fierce opponent at all), at least if he doesn't return it, he can have a good reputation, and his family will not be implicated, because of this reason, Mr. Chong Qian's face is full of grief and indignation, and he scolds Yang Ling's ancestors for eight generations in his heart, while wielding a knife and playing with devils.
The reason why his pro-soldiers did not retreat was the same as him, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if the general died in battle, and the pro-soldiers were unharmed, it would be beheaded, so these more than 20 pro-soldiers were also scolding the ancestors of the eight generations of the general manager in their hearts, while desperately resisting.
Only 500 people were rushed and defeated by 20 pirates, and now 20 against 20, in a desperate situation, they actually defeated those pirates.
Yang Ling saw that his heart was a little calm, and when the twenty fans went up to the pavilion, Yang Ling pointed ahead and said: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, don't panic, show me accurately, pick those widows who play flags and hold fans to shoot me!" ”
Yang Ling stood on a high place, and at this moment he had already found that although the Japanese invaders rushed into the salt soldiers in groups to fight, they looked chaotic and disorganized, in fact, there was always a person with a strange banner in front of him or a person holding a knife and a fan in the other, as long as they waved the flag or fan, many Japanese squads would scream in unison, and the momentum was terrifying, and at the same time they waved their weapons to attack, and once they lost their strength, they turned into guerrilla fighting to recover their strength.
Zhongfanzi obeyed the order to stand in front of the pavilion, picking on those who seemed to be the leaders of the Japanese people, their cold arrows were accurate and ruthless, and those small leaders of the Japanese people shouted and commanded while killing people, and they were often caught off guard and nailed there by an arrow. Zhang Tianshi originally believed in spells, and he was really frightened when he saw the strange scene where the arrow was not injured, and then he saw that the Japanese were also flesh and blood and could be killed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Ling was also taken aback, but he didn't believe that these widows knew anything about invulnerability, if they really had this kind of kung fu, then why bother to make a living at sea? It's already possible to drive straight into the world.
At this time, seeing that his own pro-army really killed with arrows, he was even more convinced of his own judgment, but why the arrows of the officers and soldiers of the guard station couldn't kill people, he still couldn't figure it out, but at this time, he didn't care about researching.
The leaders of this gang were a down-and-out samurai Hizen Shou and a Chinese pirate Chen Dong, who turned into robbers along the coast in the spring and autumn seasons, and bought goods from unscrupulous merchants in the Ming Dynasty and shipped them to Luzon and other places for huge profits.
In the past year or so, the war in the local area has become more and more intense, and those daimyo urgently need a large amount of supplies and money to stabilize their territory, but since the shogunate Ashikaga shogun no longer claims to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty no longer does exploration and trade with them, and many daimyo simply instructed their subordinates to act as smugglers and pirates, which robbed them of their business and made their lives more and more depressed, so the two pirates simply merged to strengthen their power.
Their tattered warship manufacturing technology is very backward, those ships are sawed into squares with large wood, and they do not use iron nails when connecting, only iron sheets, do not use hemp tendons or tung oil to fill the gaps, but use straw to plug the leaks, and they can not resist the big ships of the Ming army at all, especially the Fu ships and the Guang ships to lightly collide, their ships will be scattered, there is no advantage at sea, they can only use the vast coastline of the Ming Dynasty to wander around, go ashore and rob.
This is the first time that the two gangs of robbers have made a big deal after the partnership, originally thought that the tide was taken by surprise and Haining was looted, but as soon as the ship docked, it was found that the Ming army had already been waiting for it, Hizen Shou and Chen Dong were also secretly surprised, thinking that they had leaked the news, so the battle between the two was at the end, and they never dared to put all their troops into it, in case they were ambushed by the Ming army.
The two walked up to the bow of the boat to watch, only to see that there were not many Ming troops on the beach, and the clothes were not regular army dress, and among the soldiers who seemed to be salt soldiers, there was a man wielding a Daguan knife, and the big knife was like a windmill in his hand.
There is a group of soldiers in green clothes and small hats in front of the tide building, a color of the Pu knife, although the number of this group is small, but all of them are good at fighting, and the whole team is lined up into a sharp triangle, like a sharp arrow straight ahead, the Japanese people are accustomed to attacking and destroying in groups of three or five to harass and destroy the tricks that do not work at all, and the soldiers inside the triangle also draw out a short-barreled firearm from time to time to kill, this equipment is not the firearm equipped by the soldiers of the coastal guard.
The main weapons of the Wako were knives and bows, and occasionally firearms such as birds. However, this group of pirates was relatively poor, the sea was wet, it was not easy to maintain bows and arrows, and the accuracy and lethality of simple arrows were insufficient, and the good arrow wood and arrow clusters were relatively expensive, so they were not equipped with many bows and arrows.
However, their long knives are extremely powerful, and the long knives used by these Japanese are about one meter four, almost catching up with the height of those small frustrations, and the length and weight of this knife are almost twice as long as those commonly used by the Ming army, and they can use knives with both hands.
The single knife of the Ming army can only be used with one hand, the strength, speed, and length are very poor, and the knife is said to be made when using the steel technology of the Tang knife, and the Ming army is expensive because of the steel knife, in addition to the officer, the knife issued by the soldier is only the edge of the knife is Baotou steel, and the strength of the two sides is equal when who wins and who loses can be imagined.
Today, it was a coincidence that I met Yang Ling's pro-army, using a full-color steel long-handled Pu knife, the knife was one meter long, almost not weaker than them, and the knife was the elite of the Beijing army that had passed through the Shaolin Temple and Jinyi Weizhong with a knife and a high finger.
These fans don't pay attention to the provocation and temptation of the Japanese Kou at all, their duty is to protect Yang Ling, so they will never be separated, the formation of eighty people is like a sharp arrow, eighty knives one after another, the whole knife array swims non-stop, rampage on the beach in front of the tide viewing pavilion like a meat grinder, and those who go up are immediately killed by random knives.
There was a long knife with a wolf who wanted to make it short with a long one, but before he could get closer, the inner fan had already pulled out a short gun and hit him all over the face. Every time these fanzi swim around, the outer layer becomes the inner layer, the inner layer becomes the outer layer, and the inner layer of the fan retracts the knife and changes the gun, while recovering the strength, while loading ammunition and using the firearm, this is equipped with very few bows and arrows, just like the army they used to slaughter and poke the guard, completely in a one-sided state of beating. Rao is a pirate who is not afraid of death, and he can't help but have the idea of retreating.
At this time, the twenty marksmen around Yang Ling also gave full play to the role of snipers, they stood on the top of the pavilion in a hurry and only paid attention to those characters who seemed to be the leaders of the Japanese people, and saw clearly that it was an arrow, and the Japanese people who lost their leaders were not only chaotic in their tactics, but also far more deterrent than the fear of death.
The Japanese were already seriously suspicious, not only Hizen Shou was suspicious, but even Chen Dong, a native pirate, was secretly suspicious when he saw it, and he didn't know what the origin of these officers and soldiers was. Hizen Shou saw that the lethality of the civilian official with a big knife in the salt soldier team was really terrifying, and the Ming army continued to have cold arrows, so he beckoned someone to present a hard bow, and the arrow was ready to be used, and secretly aimed at Min Wenjian, wanting to shoot the Ming army generals like this.
The archer on the pavilion saw that there was no longer a leader of the Japanese who could be shot in front of the beach, and the target gradually shifted to the boat, and a foreman saw that the last big boat surrounded the two of them, one of whom was holding a bow and aiming at the crowd of salt soldiers, and immediately called a commander and replaced the bow in his hand, which was not equipped in the army, but also a sharp weapon specially researched by the Jinyi Guard.
This kind of bow can increase or decrease the bowstring at any time, adjust the strength of the bow, the head of the squad changed the bow, adjusted the bow into a three-stone hard bow, put on a carved arrow, so that the whole body strength to pull the hard bow, aimed at the bow of the leader of the Japanese people in the chest and shot an arrow.
These three stone bows are too laborious, although these people are not threatened by standing on the pavilion, and the twenty people are only sending arrows after peeking at the leader of the Japanese people, at this time everyone is tired and exhausted, the head of the team is born with divine power, this arrow is shot, the bow also hangs on the ground, and the arms are a little out of strength.
The knife in Min Wenjian's palm weighs forty pounds, and the strength is more than one or two hundred pounds, and the knife can be greatly saved if the knife is unfolded and borrowed to make force, so in order not to restrain his hands and feet and hinder the use of the broadsword, as soon as he rushed into the group of Japanese soldiers, he distanced himself from the salt soldiers under his command, and swung the knife to fight around, and his official robe was already splashed with blood.
Hizen Shou stood at the bow of the boat, Min Wenjian rushed to kill, and it was not that there were fleeing widows running back and forth, this arrow could not be shot out, the arrow of the head of the squad had been shot, this arrow was originally shot at his left chest, but the arrow trembled slightly when it left the string, and the arrow lost its head and went straight to his shoulder.
Hizen Shou Zhengjue's arm was weak, and he was pulled back a few steps with a strong pull, and his back slammed into the mast, and then he felt a heart-rending pain coming, and a sharp arrow penetrated his right shoulder, piercing from behind his shoulder, and only half a carved feather remained in his chest.
Hizen Shou roared in pain and almost fainted. When Chen Dong saw the shock, he hurriedly squatted down and shouted loudly: "Quick, withdraw the troops quickly!" The Ming army has been prepared for a long time and will withdraw its troops immediately! ”
The surrounding Japanese were also startled, they didn't expect that at such a distance, someone in the Ming army would shoot arrows so far, and the strength was domineering and powerful, and it could penetrate the human body.
When they heard the sound of the conch, they turned around and fled, climbed into the boat, lowered their sails, stretched out the oars, and shook them in a hurry. The more than 20 Japanese who chased out of the land of an arrow and Chong Qianzong and others slashed each other, the cutting was exhausted, only seven or eight people were killed and wounded, and Chong Qian always took only three wounded soldiers to retreat while fighting, and when they heard the sound of conch sent by the river wind, the Japanese people were about to turn around and flee, only to see that the big boat by the river had sailed towards the heart of the river.
At this time, it was the time of low tide, the river water flowed back, and the Japanese on the boat swayed hard, even if they fled to the river, they could not catch up with the boat, but at this time there was a shout in the town, but it was a few big salt merchants in the town who knew that if the Japanese were killed ashore, the biggest loss was themselves, and quietly took a look to see that the Ming army actually resisted the Japanese people, and brought the servants of the family with sticks and hoes to help.
The most courageous widow killed five or six people, and was also stabbed twice, although the injury was not serious, he could not be wrapped, he lost too much blood, and he was already dizzy, and at this time he waved the knife as if dancing, and he could not see the majesty of the stars when he just went ashore, and was shoeed by the salt merchant servants who rushed over, and if Yang Ling wanted to leave a few alive, so that people rushed to stop it, he was beaten to death.
Yang Ling took people to the beach to take a look, in addition to the dead and wounded soldiers all over the ground, there were more than 40 Japanese people who were abandoned by enemy ships stranded on the coast, suppressed by more than 80 steel knives, and there was no strength to resist at all.
He picked up an arrow shot by the officers and soldiers of the guard, the arrow was light and fluttering less than one or two weights, Yang Ling suddenly realized why these arrows could not hurt people at all, those officers and soldiers of the guard were usually negligent in training, and they could not pull the bow and put the arrows, in order to bluff others, they had to make this kind of light arrow, the arrow was shot far away, but the light and fluttering mixed with the force, and then there was a river wind blowing on the edge of the river, not so much shooting down as floating down, how could there be the power to hurt people?
Yang Ling could be regarded as having seen the combat ability of the Jiangnan Guard, he shook his head helplessly, ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and hurried to Chong Qianzong and them with a few personal soldiers. Mr. Tanen's armor stood there obliquely as if in a dream, his arm was stabbed by a spear, and one of his arms was dyed red, and he didn't seem to feel anything at this time.
For a long time, the officers and soldiers along the coast regarded the Japanese as tigers, that kind of fear was born from the heart, when they saw that they were really distracted, they had no courage to fight, and it was not uncommon for two hundred Japanese to run around the mountains and fields like sheep with two thousand officers and soldiers, and now the number of people is the same, and they can fight with them for so long, and kill four Japanese with their own hands, it seems that they are not so remarkable, and the courage and confidence of the general manager suddenly increased greatly, and it was only then that he angrily remembered his five hundred nest soldiers who could only eat.
Yang Ling walked up to a few Japanese who had been beaten and their heads were bleeding, stared at the Japanese who had killed the Ming army with a knife and killed them in the Ming army's formation, and asked, "Can you speak Chinese?" Who are your leaders? ”
The bloodied man glared at him fiercely, and stood proudly without saying a word, and a salt merchant's servant saw that he didn't know any rules, picked up his hoe and smashed it at his knee, and shouted, "Didn't you hear the old man's question?" ”
The hoe struck him on the knee, and the widow fell heavily on one knee, but immediately jumped up again, and the leg was half-curled and trembling slightly, obviously not lightly injured, but still not kneeling. Yang Ling waved his hand to stop the people who still wanted to beat him, and said, "Tie them up, go back and find someone who understands the Japanese language, and I will ask them questions."
At this time, Min Wenjian ran over with a big knife with a rolled blade, sweating profusely, and laughed excitedly: "Refreshing! Readily! In May, I repelled two hundred Japanese with three hundred salt soldiers, only to feel that I was already majestic, I didn't expect you to come, and actually won more with less, hahaha, sure enough, my lucky general."
When he said this, he suddenly realized that Yang Ling's official was now more than one level higher than him, and he couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Yang Ling bowed his hand to him and sighed: "If you really talk about going into battle to kill the enemy, how can I compare to the majesty of Lord Min, now that your knife is really a big killing, the remnants of the riverside have been captured?" ”
Min Wenjian glared at the mung bean and said strangely: "What are you catching?" I have commanded all the people to be killed, and all those who have not lost their breath have been mended, and if it were not for the fear of smelling the river, they would all be thrown into the river to feed the fish. What are these pieces of material tied up for? Hurry up and get to the end of things".
Yang Ling was stunned when he heard this, when he just rushed over, there were more than 40 people on the riverside who had not had time to get on the boat and retreat, plus no less than 100 people who were injured and fell to the ground and did not die. Yang Ling came from a later life, and emotionally felt that the abuse of prisoners was inhumane, so he couldn't help but show unbearable and displeasure when he heard it.
In addition to inheriting the family property from their parents, most of these salt merchants also started from bitter smuggler salt dealers, and became merchants who acted as agents for official salt sales, so most of them were strong and martial. Although Mei Chun'an has taken a polite name, she is also powerful and powerful, and her expression is fierce.
He saw that Yang Ling didn't think so, so he laughed and said: "My lord is kind, but these Japanese people are greedy and have never repented, and the grass people listened to the elders say that they caught the Japanese who surrendered in the early years, and we also let them go, but they turned around and came to spoil our people, and robbed the property and transported it back to China, and also lured more Japanese people to do evil, so now if they catch the Japanese people, they have always been put to death, and the brave and ferocious army is far more awe-inspiring to the enemy than the Huairou civilized army." ”
Yang Ling thought that the Americans had slaughtered the city with nuclear bombs, but they had made the people fear it to this day, while the Chinese were lenient and released their war criminals back to China until they were full of gray hair, and most of them still advocated militarism and hated to hurt the Chinese people, and could not help but smile bitterly.
Mo Qinghe had never seen the Ming army so heroic, at this time Yang Ling's pro-army combat strength couldn't help but be impressed, he smiled and said to Yang Ling: "This time the Lord personally commanded, our army won a complete victory, killing more than 400 thieves, not to say that the report to the Beijing Division, the name of the Lord will reach Wenyu, it is really gratifying, congratulations to the Lord first."
Min Wenjian was very happy to hear it, this time Yang Ling personally sat in charge, he was a Qincha, no one could take away this credit, but Yang Ling's surname he knew very well, and knew that Yang Ling would never be greedy for merit, and this anti-Japanese hero must have his own share, and couldn't help but say beautifully: "Exactly, the coastal guards are more than ten miles and eight miles worse than our border army, and they have always only defeated the battle and not won the battle.
Ah, adult, I don't mean you, look at your usual sven and literate, I am a civil official like a military general, but you are a military general, to be honest, my old Min really looks down on you in my heart, but now I say that you are really a man, my old Min admires it very much."
Mr. Chong Qian's face was red when he said it just now, and he said sarcastically: "Lord Min has won the award, and the last general is ashamed, the soldiers under his command are a group of local chickens and dogs, and today's performance is really ridiculous and generous." Even the last general himself, he has never really fought against the enemy, and when he saw the Japanese Kou, he was really panicked, alas! I'm ashamed."
Yang Ling saw that half of his body was stained with blood, and he couldn't bear to scold him anymore, so he had to say: "When this official was in the north, I saw a strong general surnamed Jiang in the army, and he could be ten in the face of a Tartar who was more powerful than this widow. He once said that when he first went to the battlefield, he was also frightened, and it was his commander who dragged him into battle. As you can see after this battle, these pirates are nothing remarkable, as long as they are not timid and afraid of war, they will not be able to bargain. It's just that your soldiers really need to practice well."
Chong Qian's face was flushed with shame, but he only said: "Yes, yes, the end will be taught, and the end will obey orders."
Min Wenjian left some soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the salt merchants spontaneously organized themselves and carried the wounded soldiers into the town to treat their wounds. Only a little more than one hundred and forty remained.
In addition to the more than 40 people and more than 100 wounded soldiers who were left behind in the end, more than 260 people died on the spot, of which 60% died under the knives and arrows of the fans, but the 80 healthy soldiers who charged in front of the charge, a total of more than 30 people were killed and wounded.
He returned to the temporary residence arranged for him in the town, found a man who spoke the Japanese language, and was about to go to see the west wing of the prisoners to learn about some pirates, several elders in the town were supported to come to the door, and when they saw Yang Ling, they kowtowed and thanked him, thanking the Lord Qincha for striking hard at the Japanese and eliminating the harm for the people in the town, and then wept bitterly and asked the Lord Qincha to be the master of the people and execute all the Japanese invaders.
Yang Ling looked at those old people in their seventies and eighties, and they were still kowtowing to him, and hurriedly helped them up, but when he asked him to personally issue the order to kill the prisoners, he really couldn't say anything, so he had to look at Zhang Tianshi in embarrassment. These old people all believe in Buddhism, and if a heavenly master comes forward to persuade them, he may be able to persuade them to leave.
Zhang Tianshi understood, stepped forward and said to a few old people: "A few old people, God has the virtue of a good life, now these widows have been captured, if they are all executed, it will inevitably be in heaven, they have done a lot of evil, Lord Yang will not let them go, let them suffer in prison, why not?" ”
Although Zhang Tianshi was young, those old men really respected him abnormally, and they didn't dare to be rude to him, and an old man cried: "Heavenly Master, these widows have no surname, even a thousand knives can't atone for their sins, they kill people and set fires, dig graves and dig graves, and do all kinds of bad things." Last year, when he came ashore, he threw an eight-month-old child on the bed in the old salt warehouse, poured boiling water on it, and listened to his crying for fun.
Yang Ling listened to a cold breath that rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, whether it was for survival, for wealth, he could reluctantly accept killing people, robbers, can you still expect them to be kind? But this kind of unconscionable behavior is purely to satisfy a perverted, unnamed **, pouring boiling water on an innocent baby, just to listen to him cry for fun?
Yang Ling's scalp exploded, Gao Wenxin and Zhang Fubao had tears in their eyes when they heard this, and even Zhang Tianshi, who was full of Heavenly Dao people's hearts, also raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of murderous anger, and he couldn't see the appearance of a cultivator.
Another old man said: "Not only that, they ate at noon in a family, and when they left, they killed the whole family, took blood to make wine, said that it was a big supplement, and the pregnant women of that family, they bet whether it was a man or a woman, so they cut out the baby to verify, and the local rich families were taken away by them for extortion, and if the amount of silver taken out of the family was not enough, they sawed the person into pieces and sent them back."
Yang Ling's face turned blue, and he said in a trembling voice: "Don't say it again, don't say it again!" ”
The old man who spoke earlier said: "My lord, we treat them as human beings, but they don't treat themselves as human beings, they just take money, kill people and set fires like this, what do you say are not beasts?" They also like to kidnap women and beautiful children, and force them to do ugly things, even my old man can't say wow! ”
Yang Ling couldn't listen anymore, as soon as he turned around, he hurriedly walked towards the door, he had just walked to the door, Zhang Fubao in the room roared angrily: "Kill them!" surnamed Yang, if you still want to keep them alive, I and I draw charms for you every day! ”
Yang Ling paused, then walked out of the hall without looking back. In the west wing, several widows were tied to the pillar, Yang Ling paced in with a gloomy face, Zheng Baihu and several fans saw it and hurriedly stood up and said, "I've seen the adult."
Yang Ling nodded and said: "Well, thanks to you today, you remember to collect the corpses of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and after returning to Beijing, the official will definitely be heavily compensated, and the brothers who participated in the war will be rewarded heavily!" ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head, his eyes swept over the few widows one by one, and finally saw a man wearing the clothes of a Han woman, his eyes touched him, and he shrank and dodged for a while, Yang Ling walked over and stopped in front of him, and said, "Who is your leader, how many people are there, and where are they all active?" ”
The man he found who knew the Japanese language hurriedly repeated it in the Japanese language, and the man didn't say a word. Yang Ling smiled faintly and said, "Do you think that we don't know how to use any powerful means to deal with you?" Is boiling water? His grim gaze wandered over the man, and he said, "What would you think if boiling water was poured on you, and then an iron brush dipped in salt and brushed down layer by layer?" Or stick a red-hot iron drill straight into your thigh."
What Yang Ling said was that he heard about the methods used by Jinyiwei to deal with prisoners, and before the person next to him could translate, cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the man in women's clothes, and he suddenly said in a dumb voice: "If I recruit me, will the adults spare me?" ”
Yang Ling was stunned, then he was furious, and said sharply: "Are you Han? ”
The man was drunk by him, and he couldn't help but shudder, but he still said stubbornly: "I can't live anymore, so I just embarked on this road, and several of them are really widows, and they won't recruit, and the adults will spare me, so I am willing to say."
Yang Ling's gaze fell on the woman's light green shirt on his body, he twisted up the corner of the shirt and asked, "You snatched this dress back?" How is the girl of her master? ”
The man's face changed, this dress was stripped from a young woman when he landed and robbed in Fujian last year, that woman, that woman, he thought of the last terrible appearance of the beautiful young woman, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Yang Ling saw that he was still about to lie, so he turned around abruptly to calm down the idea of strangling him alive, and then said word for word: "You say it, I will let you die happily!" That's the only condition! You don't have a second option! ”
The man was stunned, chewed Yang Ling's words again, and only then did he realize the meaning of his words, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of fear. Yang Ling said coldly: "Have you decided?" I don't necessarily have to know about you, and if I don't, I won't give you a second chance! ”
Seeing Yang Ling walking towards the door step by step, the thieves who had used to torture people in all kinds of strange and strange ways finally couldn't help but shout: "My lord stays, I move, I will move all, I just ask my lord to leave me a whole corpse."
The man told him what he knew, in fact, his information was not of much value, these would-be robbers were running around, and there was no fixed place to live, and the Ming Sailor was currently going out to sea to encircle and suppress, and he didn't have the strength, if he wanted to deal with them, the main thing was to wait for them to come inland to rob and then punish them severely, and it was to be expected: they would definitely come!
However, Yang Ling was surprised that he heard more about the situation in his own country from this person, the shogunate was gradually declining, and it was no longer able to control the daimyo in various places, and the daimyo and samurai leaders in various places were very eager to trade with the Ming Dynasty in order to strengthen their own strength.
Some of these forces had secret channels to smuggle from the Ming Dynasty, so they were also opposed to the rampant behavior of the Japanese so as not to affect their business. Moreover, these government-organized smuggling teams not only secretly traded with merchants along the Daming coast, but also explored a sea trade route with Luzon and Nanyang. This information is not used for the time being, but it may not be useless in the future, and Yang Ling secretly remembers it in his heart.
What surprised him even more was that the general currency of the Ming Dynasty turned out to be the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty, and the copper coins they made were of extremely poor quality, and it didn't take long for them to wear out and break, becoming a pile of broken copper and iron, so they could only use the currency of the Ming Dynasty as the common currency of the country.
After the Ashikaga family ceased to be vassals to the Akira, the two countries cut off trade, saying that they urgently needed a large amount of copper money, but there was no way to obtain it, and a country had no currency, it was simply unimaginable, so the official could only smuggle and even act as pirates.
Yang Ling was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that the Chinese currency at that time could completely act as a substitute for another country's currency. The hatred and hatred of the unnamed Wako did not make him lose his mind to the point that the only way to solve this sea scourge once and for all.
Yang Ling secretly thought: The Japanese pirates on the sea are to be fought, and we must find a way to exterminate them. However, if we do not eradicate the root cause of the breeding of this group of scourges, and if we eliminate this group, a new batch will be produced.
He originally didn't have much confidence in asking the emperor to talk about trade after returning to Beijing, because he didn't have confidence to suppress the resistance from the DPRK and China, especially the three ministers of the cabinet, and he had no confidence to suppress it.
But now he was a little sure, if economic means such as trade were to be used as an extension of political means, would the civil servants still oppose it? trade, which allows the two countries to work together to fight piracy; By controlling them financially and striving to stay in the lead, they will not have covetous ambitions; If even their currency comes from us, once there is a real entanglement, we can only create a large amount of currency and put it on their land, are we afraid that the hostile political axe will not fall? As for the longer future, whether they have the ability to produce their own money, or even greater economic development, is not in Yang Ling's consideration, people can't rely on their ancestors to eat for thousands of generations, the predecessors have laid a good foundation for you, and the rest of the things have their own descendants to worry about.
How is Jingshi, it's been a month since he left, and everything is business as usual in the court, right? When the person sent to Beijing comes back, I will know that Yang Lingjue has too many things to do and time to do now, and he can't wait to end everything at this time immediately and rush back to Beijing immediately, but is it possible? If you don't settle everything here, you can't surrender the factory guards, and if you don't surrender the factory guards, how can you have the strength to fight against the foreign court and implement your own strategy as soon as possible?
Yang Ling stopped, let out a long breath, raised his legs and walked to the door, and suddenly stopped and said, "This person, give him a good time." Leave the rest to the townspeople! ”
