Hu Zongxian said again: "The Japanese are extremely vicious, but the Qincha must be more careful and protect his body. I sent Qi Jiguang and his two battalions of Zhejiang soldiers to Taizhou to accompany the guards. ”

Yan Hong said: "Uncle, now that we are using troops, General Qi's Zhejiang soldiers are a new army that has been trained and trained, and their combat power is the strongest. If the little nephew takes away the elite soldiers, and the battle situation is lost, the little nephew will die and will not be able to escape his guilt. And the little nephew also has an attaché around him, and there is also a brocade guard in the place. Therefore, it is enough to transfer local soldiers and horses in Taizhou. If the war is unfavorable, the little nephew can also defend the city without loss. ”

Hu Zongxian heard this: Let's not mention that Taizhou City is a newly renovated city wall, which is very strong. There are also more than a dozen Francophone cannons set up on the city, and it is difficult for the Japanese to capture this city. Although the Taizhou guard is unusable, it is said that the local regiment training is still quite impressive, and with the accompanying Zhejiang soldiers, it is more than enough to deal with a few hundred Japanese soldiers. And on his own side, if he leaves the two battalions of recruits, he really lacks confidence.

But what is the current battle situation on the Xiangshan side, no one can pack a ticket. If Yan Hong completely relied on local people, would this local people also be reliable? As for the Jinyi guard who carried him, he was more than enough to solve the case, but not enough to fight. Therefore, Yan Hong's side can't relax. It's better to waste some of the elite soldiers, but not to make a mistake.

After summing it up in this way, Hu Zongxian said: "Since Qin Cha has this good intention, then Qi Jiguang's two battalions of elite soldiers will be divided into two, the first battalion will follow the old man to fight in Ningbo, and Qin Cha will take the first battalion south to Taizhou." If there is any discord, Qincha can retreat to Chuzhou, Jinhua and other places on his own, and take care of himself. ”

Yan Hong also knew the other party's good intentions. Nod yes. Now the military situation is urgent. Urgent official documents are more than one day a day. I really can't afford to delay. Wang Bengu has been dragged down, and the military salary has been raised, so naturally the official deployment will begin.

Early the next morning, the Governor Yuanmen banners were displayed, and Hu Zongxian gave an order, and the drums sounded the tent. Hu Zongxian sat in the middle, Yan Hong sat first, and below were the generals. Everyone is dressed in wartime clothes.

Hu Zongxian coughed and said: "Generals, Mr. Lie, now that the military situation is urgent, the Japanese invade on a large scale, and the lives and deaths of millions of Li people in the southeast of the country are all tied to the princes. If this battle is won, all the princes present will inevitably receive merit and reward, and if they are defeated. It is difficult to escape the law of the country. I hope the ranking is more careful. If there is anyone who disobeys military orders, Hugh blames the marshal for being ruthless in military law. ”

All the generals bowed together and said, "The last general will listen to the orders of the commander." The military order is like a mountain, how dare you be abrupt! ”

Hu Zongxian nodded, confident, and issued orders one by one. At present, the Japanese are attacking in many places on the thousands of miles of coastal defense, but in general, they are divided into two parts: the north and the south. On the north road is a large group of ships, which are said to be Chen Dong and Ye Ma, with hundreds of warships and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, pointing directly at Ningbo. The south road is in the area of Xiangshan and Fenghua, and the number of people is about hundreds, which seems to be just harassment. Hu Zongxian's defense is naturally also targeted, with the north emphasizing the south and the south. But the south road was sent by Yan Hongqin to go in person, and this appearance of the frame has to be fancy.

This order dazzled Yan Hong, and all the general soldiers, deputy general soldiers, guerrillas, generals, etc., received orders back and forth, and led the troops to the defensive ground.

Among them, Tan Lun was ordered to sit in Hangzhou to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese invaders;

Yu Dayou led the sailors to attack the Japanese ships along the way in Ningbo;

Lu Bo reinforced Changguo; Liu Xian's aid to Fenghua;

Hu Zongxian commanded the battalion to dispatch into Ningbo and met the head-on.

Qi Jiguang trained two battalions of Zhejiang soldiers, which were the elite of the army, and Qi Jiguang personally led one of the battalions to enter Taizhou with Yan Hong. But Hu Zongxian had other plans here, it turned out that Xiangshan was very close to Qi Jiguang's old camp Xinhe, and Qi Jiguang could take the opportunity to reunite with his family this time. This can be regarded as Hu Zongxian's little care for Qi Jiguang, but he doesn't have to talk to Yan Hongming.

The people brought by Yan Hong, Deng Zilong accompanied the guards, and Deng Zilong's Fujian soldiers and Cantonese soldiers, as well as Galen ships and Fengzhou, were temporarily transferred by Yu Dayou and temporarily assigned to the naval division. This is also Yan Hong's kindness. It is said that since the Fujian soldiers and Guangdong soldiers followed the Fengzhou and Haicang ships into Yu Dayou, it was best for Deng Zilong to go to command. But Yan Hong estimated that Yu Dayou's guy was wrong with Hu Zongxian, and he couldn't wear small shoes, so don't follow him and suffer a loss. On the contrary, Qi Jiguang is a smart person, and he has been with him all the way, Deng Zilong is here, it is foolproof, and he can still make war achievements. Since we are township parties, we must always take care of each other.

Yan Hongyou instructed Yu Dayou that after the sailor went to sea, he should put up his banner in order to brush up his prestige. Yu Dayou snorted, not committal, in fact, Yan Hong was trying to release the signal so that Xu Hai could ventilate.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu Jiang'an, led 50 Jinyi guards from Hangzhou 100 households and 30 Jinyi accompanied by Jingshi to Taizhou as Qincha's personal guard. Hu Zongxian also allocated 50 bird guns and 20 Buddha Lang machines from the armory to replenish the firepower of the Qincha Guard. These Franc machines are nothing more than large foreign guns and the lightest artillery. Rao is like this, the rate of firearms and equipment in Yan Hong's team has also reached an unprecedented height, not to mention the 1,000 pairs of paper armor that were allocated with it, which has greatly increased the armor rate of this team, plus the original armor, it is basically close to the point where everyone has armor.

Yan Hong knew that most of the Japanese robbers on the South Road had not been beaten, and he was going to brush up his sense of existence this time, but he was not in a hurry to go on the expedition today. He returned to the bedroom, first wrote this chapter on the current coastal situation, handed it to Liu Lian, and said: "I have to work hard Brother Liu, and send this chapter to the Beijing Division and hand it over to the Governor of Lu." ”

Liu Liandao: "Now that the governor is going to Taizhou in person, the villain should be on the left and right, how can he leave without permission?" ”

Yan Hong said: "It's okay, there are thousands of troops around me, and there will be no mistakes." If these thousands of officers and soldiers can't protect me, it's useless for Brother Liu to stay. On the contrary, this matter will affect the overall situation of the entire sea opening, as well as the stability of the southeast coast in the next ten years, and Brother Liu cannot take it lightly. ”

Liu Lian saw that his own head official handed over such an important matter to himself, and he didn't dare to slack off, wrapped this chapter in silk satin, put it behind his back and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'm here." ”

Seeing off Liu Lian, Yan Hong himself was not idle this night. I really prepared for it. His treasure armor was given to Xia Zisu. When Xia Shisu left. He left behind the armor, and now he wears it on his body. The two muskets were wet by the sea, although they were dried on the island, but they were not as good as before, and the rate of mute fire increased greatly, and ten rounds may not be fired once, so they could only turn back and ask Foyi to repair them. He also sent people to deliver a letter to the trenches in Guangdong to inform the Buddhas. If you want to go back and supervise Taizhou, you can either stay honest and don't come to this troubled water. If there is someone who volunteers to help Ben Qin to kill the enemy, he will make a meritorious contribution and have a heavy reward.

In the early morning of the next day, the drums and trumpets of the army sounded in unison, and the detachment set off. Along the way, Yan Hong had Qi Jiguang change his outfit and wear an iron helmet. Wearing mountain armor, he stepped off the yellow horse. Hang a tiger head golden gun immediately. The three thousand Zhejiang soldiers belong to the armor is distinct, each holding a blade, in addition to the common shotgun, shield, goose knife, there is a kind of green bamboo more than one zhang long, I don't know what it is. Behind the line was a long baggage procession, with horses and cannons, carts full of grain and grass, and military salaries had already been paid. With the money in the family, these soldiers are a little calmer.

Yan Hong also changed into a military uniform today, and the armor was specially arranged by Hu Zongxian, which did not help much in the battle array, but it was bright and eye-catching. In addition, he is tall, handsome, and good-looking, and with this dress, some people who don't know the root of the truth have praised: "Isn't this Zhao Zilong and Ma Mengqi descending into the world?" ”

The southern atmosphere is open, and the women of good families are not called for public sales, so it is not a problem to show up. There are many girls who follow the team to watch the excitement, and when they see this young general, they can't help but be stupid, and some girls mutter: "A-Niang also said that the new Qincha is a big villain, who is dedicated to robbing men and women, and wants the slave family not to go out." knew that Lu Dao was such a romantic character, even if he was bullied, it was not in vain. ”

Yan Hong rode on a horse, his eyes looked around, he was very noisy when he went out of the city, and he only hoped that if Xia Zisu was in Hangzhou, he would come to see him. Even if she is in the team, if you look at yourself, you will have more opportunities to see her again. Just look around, where can you see the jade people? Only the boat lady who served her that day looked at herself with affection.

I couldn't help but feel a little resentful in my heart: I didn't feel sorry for you, why didn't you refuse to meet, did I really dare not hit the mountain gate of your Shuiyue Nunnery after I had something to do here? If you still refuse to show up at that time, hehe, I'll arrest your senior sister and sister to offset the number. So what's the point? After robbing the cardamom and grabbing the twenty-eight, after robbing the twenty-eight and grabbing the young woman, see if you can come out.

Just as Yan Hong's army was about to start, there was a two-masted ship, which was sailing in the direction of Taizhou, and in the upper cabin of the big ship, Yan Hong's dreaming Xia Zisu was lying on the incense couch, sleeping with his eyes closed, covered with a fine brocade quilt. A girl in Tsing Yi saw that she was asleep, and quietly withdrew from the hallway, and in the corridor outside the cabin, a young and handsome scholar was there, and when she saw the girl come out, she hurriedly said: "Bottle, the girl has taken medicine, how is it now?" ”

Without waiting for the maid to answer, behind the scholar, there was a girl who smiled and said, "Bah, bah! My brother is really not ashamed, how can the girl's name be called casually? Bottle, don't tell Shen Er's nerd, let him go in a hurry. ”

The scholar turned around and saw that his sister was covering her mouth and laughing, and said shyly: "Little sister, don't make fun of your brother." Although this girl has martial arts, it is a pity that her body is inconvenient, if there is really a three long and two short, let me be at peace in my heart? Don't forget, she saved us in the first place. ”

The girl's appearance is outstanding, her facial features are exquisite, and she is also a beauty, and she smiled when she heard the words: "Yo yo yo, my brother is grateful to others." In fact, with those few bandits, even if this girl doesn't come out, our nursing home can deal with it. Are you still upset? The second brother is really joking, if you talk about the heart of the doctor's parents, it should be Doctor Li who is worried about this girl's body. But after Dr. Li Shen checked the pulse, he said that there was no big hindrance, and now that his old man is resting well, which turn is it your turn to be in a hurry? Could it be that my brother intends to marry a sister-in-law for me? But this Sister Xia is pregnant with Liujia, don't you care? ”

When the scholar heard this, his face sank and he said, "Xiaoxia, shut up!" This Xia girl walks the rivers and lakes and is defiled by thieves, which is already unfortunate, how can you still sprinkle salt on people's wounds? If you let your father know the way, you will definitely be taught a lesson, how can the girl's family be so unruly? Although I met Miss Xia in Pingshui, but at first sight, she is inconvenient now, I should take care of it with all my might, otherwise how can I talk about morality? If you have any filthy hearts, how can you be right about the sages you have read over the years? ”

The girl named Xiaoxia was not afraid of this brother, but walked up, took the bottle's hand and said: "Yes, yes, our girl's family can't speak, otherwise what would the sage say, only women and villains are difficult to raise?" It's hard to compare you to a gentleman, our little girl has gone back to the room, if you want to know how Miss Lu Daoxia is, go in and see it yourself. However, lonely men and widows, melons and plums, I don't know if Brother Lu Dao avoids this suspicion or not? When he said this, the scholar's face suddenly turned red and white, his lips moved, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that her second brother was embarrassed by being teased, Xiaoxia said again: "Forget it, you are honest and boring, you will be deflated if you tease, and if you marry your sister-in-law in the future, I am afraid that you will be eaten to death." ”

The second brother raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he was about to have a seizure. Xiaoxia saw that her brother was serious, and quickly smiled and said, "Brother, listen to me, this Xia girl is clamoring to get off the boat in Wenzhou." Now this is a fierce man, I heard that Xiangshan and Fenghua have seen the traces of the Japanese robbers, and there are three policemen a day in Taizhou. Wentai is separated by a line, which is a dangerous place, what is she going to do there to get off the boat? Besides, this time, we avoided the disaster from Shaoxing to the security guard, if we break up here, it will be difficult to see her again. (To be continued......)
