Chapter 054 The Sect was founded
The Ming army entered the battlefield like a pack of wolves, and those Japanese soldiers who had just been slaughtered by artillery fire were in a state of fear, and they were cut down to the ground by the Ming army one by one! Some of the Japanese soldiers were frightened and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands and let the Ming army slaughter them. More often than not, they just turn around and run.
"Ah~ Don't run! Kill them all! There are more of us than they are! Qili Lai Zhou looked at the Kaga army who was desperately fleeing like a sheep by the Ming army, and roared like thunder.
"Owner! The rear army front was scattered by the rout! We are defeated! Withdraw! It will be dangerous if you don't withdraw! The monks on the side anxiously persuaded.
"Why? Why did we lose so quickly! Our numbers are several times that of the Ming army! Qililai yelled hysterically as he grabbed a monk by the collar on Monday.
"Owner! The Ming army was backed by a fleet of ships and supported by powerful firearms. We can't win! The Ming army has no cavalry, let's go now! Otherwise, I really can't leave! The monks pulled Qili Lai Zhou on horseback, and more than 300 cavalry threw off the battlefield and the infantry who desperately broke and fled protected Qili Lai Zhou and fled to Weishan Yufang.
"Haha! The dwarfs are vulnerable! We won! Xu Song knocked a monk into the air with a stick and laughed.
"Herald! Chase and kill with all your might, and don't let anyone go! It's my turn to chase you! Xu Dong shouted loudly.
Poor Kaga Japanese army just chased Xu Dong and them for more than sixty miles, and now they have to flee for their lives again, where is the strength, and they are cut down by the Ming army who caught up one by one. Seeing that they could not escape, many of the Japanese soldiers surrendered on their knees. As a result, there were more than 3,000 Japanese troops, few of whom escaped, and more than 900 were captured by the Ming army and more than 2,000 were killed.
Qili Lai Zhou and more than 300 cavalry ran into the Weishan Imperial Fang, closed the city gate, and did not dare to show their heads again.
"What about these captives? Let's cut it all! Zhou Yiqing said to Xu Dong.
Xu Dong glanced at Zhou Yiqing with disdain and said, "Are you stupid?" What a good free labor, all bundled up and brought back, sent to Yuzhang Copper Mine to mine! ”
"So what now? Shall we go back to Daming? Xiao Man asked.
"I've already done it, and it looks stupid to just go back like this. Who has stipulated that the pirates are allowed to rob us, and we cannot rob them? All of them! It's all gathered for Lao Tzu! Xu Dong shouted loudly.
More than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy Division quickly assembled, and Xu Dong ordered loudly: "Divide the troops into three routes, and loot all the towns, villages and monasteries in Weishan Yufang, Hechuan, Qingqu and other places to Lao Tzu!" Not a penny is allowed to stay! Half of the proceeds of plunder will go to the public, and half will go to you and other individuals! ”
As soon as the words fell, the whole army burst into cheers! Thus, a catastrophe in Kaga Province began, countless villages and towns were looted and burned, and many Japanese who dared to resist were beheaded. Many ancient monasteries were slaughtered and then burned. The whole country of Kaga has become a hellish sight! There were screams and cries everywhere, and corpses were everywhere! Carloads of looted goods and cloth were transported to the coast and loaded into the holds.
After three days of looting, Xu Dong's fleet was filled with looted goods and food. "Haha! Sure enough, it is a good deal without capital! Give the order, gather the soldiers, and set sail! Xu Dong ordered with satisfaction.
This trip to the Japanese Kingdom made Xu Dong make a lot of money, and the total amount of silver obtained from the transaction was more than 140 taels of silver. The property obtained from the plundering of Kaga Province is equivalent to more than 70 taels of silver, a total of 2,164,500 taels of silver! There are also warehouses full of cloth and grain, not counted.
Before sneaking up and killing Qili Lai Cheng, not only did he break out the sect creation order, but he also dropped a copy of the intermediate martial art "Sun and Moon Strike", a kicking technique that attacks with his toes, as well as a pair of ground-level bracers. The bracers were given to Xu Song, and the martial arts belonged to Zhou Yiqing. So Zhou Yiqing also met the requirements of the creation school.
The fleet returned to the Zhoushan Military Port in mid-August, which was already thriving, and Xu Dong built a free market near the port to sell a large number of goods brought back from the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus, attracting a large number of traders to Zhoushan.
In these days, Yu Dayou and they inspected the coastal defense and arrested many smuggling boats, and Xu Dong was very ruthless to those smugglers. The shipowner and cargo owner were beheaded on the spot, and the rest of the sailors, boatmen and others were sent to the official mines in Zhejiang, Fujian and other places to serve for ten years. Ten years of service in these official mines is basically a death sentence. For a while, the smuggling trend has been greatly reduced, after all, no matter how much money there is, life is still more important!
In the military port conference hall, Xu Dong was discussing affairs with everyone. "I think it's better to establish the sect in Wuxi, Jiangnan. The large population there made it easy to select highly gifted disciples. Moreover, it is a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, with convenient transportation. Also, the helmsman of the Shiwei Gang is also in Wuxi, so they can take care of each other. Xu Dong proposed.
"I don't have an opinion, you can do it." Xu Song said.
"Okay, since there is no objection, let's go." Xu Dong waved his hand and decided to decide.
In the Yazhong of Wuxi County, Song Zhijie of Wuxi County is lying on a recliner in the back hall and drinking tea leisurely. A government official ran in and reported: "Lord County! A few people came from outside and said that they wanted to create two sects in this county! ”
"What? Two sects! Song Zhijie's eyes suddenly lit up, that was 200,000 taels of silver! You must know that the province's evaluation of the county is directly linked to the profit created by each county every year, and suddenly 200,000 taels came, how could Song Zhixian not be overjoyed.
Song Zhijie came to the lobby with a trot, only to see three young people in the lobby, two of whom were sitting on the side seats drinking tea. There is also a young man wearing a unicorn robe who is lying on the magistrate's chair, eating melon seeds with his feet on the copywriting table, and spitting out melon seed shells everywhere.
Song Zhijie was dumbfounded when he saw the young man, and he couldn't help but shudder, so he had no choice but to step forward and bow with his fists in his hands and salute: "Song Zhijie of Wuxi Zhijie County greets Lord Governor!"
"Hey~ No courtesy, Song Zhixian has worked hard!" Xu Dong immediately threw away the melon seeds in his hand, stood up and helped Song Zhijie up with an amiable face.
Song Zhijie was a little flattered for a while, and said in his heart that this Lord Xu is a little different from the rumors, not very fierce.
"This official took the liberty to come this time, just to ask Song Zhixian to help stamp the two seals." Xu Dong smiled and took out two documents and put them in front of Song Zhijie and said.
"This ...... My lord, for the establishment of this martial arts sect, the imperial court has a clear law, and it is necessary to pay 100,000 taels of silver......" Song Zhijie said embarrassedly.
With a "poof", Xu Dong pulled out the supreme knife and put it on Song Zhijie's neck, and asked with a hideous face: "Say it again, how much does it cost?"
Song Zhijie was so frightened that he was urinating, how could he change his face in such an instant! I'm not mentally prepared at all! He shouted, "Your Excellency! The lower official is saying that if others ask for money, the Governor does not need to pay the money! ”
"Oh, I'm sorry. The official was a little anxious, and he frightened the magistrate. Xu Dong immediately put away the knife and patted the gray path on Song Zhijie's body.
Song Zhijie cried with a sad face, and said in his heart, you are a two-skinned face! The two sect founding documents were stamped with the county seal.
"Oh, please also stamp this one with Song Zhixian." Xu Dong took out another document and put it in front of Song Zhijie.
Song Zhijie picked up the document and looked at it, he was so shocked that he cried: "Will the taxes of Xishan Town and Huishan Town be used as sects to worship silver?" It also transferred the surrounding 6,000 acres of fertile land to the name of the sect! Spare your life! If the subordinate signs this, the governor will kill the subordinate official! ”
Xu Dong patted Song Zhijie's shoulder with a smile and said, "If you don't sign this official, I'll kill you now." You signed the paperwork, and if you have something, let the governor of Jiangsu come to me and say no, and it's over. Rest assured, it will be fine. As he spoke, he grabbed Song Zhijie's hand holding the big seal and pressed it on the paperwork!
Xu Dong picked up a few documents and looked at them with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's something here, let's go." took Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing away, leaving Song Zhijie, who was sluggish, standing in the county hall with a dejected face......
The west gate of Wuxi county is less than ten miles out of the city, there are two mountains that stand abruptly outside the city, one is called Xishan, and the other is called Huishan. Although the two mountains are not high, they are also verdant and verdant, and the weather is extraordinary.
"Hah, that's it! Which mountain did you choose? What is the name of the sect? Xu Dong asked.
Zhou Yiqing immediately said: "I chose Huishan, I heard that there is a good spring water in Huishan, and it is very popular to make tea!" The sect is called "Huishan Sword School". ”
Xu Song shrugged and said: "Then I will be Xishan, I will establish a sect of scholars, so that everyone can read together, let's call it "Xishan Academy"."
Xu Dong looked at Xu Song with a blank face and said, "! Nowadays, knowledge is bought, who will read? You're insane! ”
Xu Song said proudly: "If you don't read, you don't know the fun of reading." Spending money to buy knowledge is not as satisfying as learning a little bit by yourself. ”
"Neurotic! You can do it yourself, I'll help Xiaoqing create a sect. Xu Dong and Zhou Yiqing threw down Xu Song and ran to Huishan for a turn, and finally chose to build a gate station on the shore of Yingshan Lake at the foot of the mountain.
The two returned to Wuxi County to recruit hundreds of masonry craftsmen, and began the great cause of building a school in a hurry. During this period, the Shiwei Gang also sent thousands of people to help, and the Xishan Academy and the Huishan Sword Sect were completed in a few days.
"Haha, my brother's sect is really high-end! Quite a famous atmosphere! Zhou Yiqing stood in front of the main hall of the Huishan Sword Sect and laughed wildly.
The Huishan Sword School occupies a very large area, there are hundreds of pavilions and pavilions in the faction, among which there is a Gong Gong Palace, there are several stone tablets in the hall, Zhou Yiqing carved the seven kinds of martial arts he learned on the stone tablet, and the Huishan Sword School was officially completed. If a disciple joins the sect, he can learn the martial arts in the hall according to the sect's merits, but as the town's peerless "Reflecting the Moon Sword Killing", Zhou Yiqing only engraved the first type of "Wine in a Cup Reflecting the Bright Moon" on the stone tablet. lest he teach his apprentices to surpass the master and appear to be stupid.
And Xu Dong is regarded as having a name as an elder in the Huishan and Xishan factions, which is still a secret. After all, his identity is not suitable for showing up.
And there is an ancient town at the foot of Huishan and Xishan, which is now owned by the two factions under the obscenity of Xu Dong, and there are many shops in the ancient town, which is very prosperous. Each of the two factions of the monthly tax can receive nearly 10,000 taels of silver. The other two factions each have more than 3,000 acres of fertile land around them, and it can be said that except for the disciples, other conditions are not inferior to those famous and decent families.
After Xu Song and Zhou Yiqing posted the list of recruiting disciples, two days passed, and the Huishan faction only recruited 4 disciples, while the Xishan faction recruited 2 disciples. This left all three dumbfounded.
On this day, in the Tingfeng Restaurant in Huishan Ancient Town, Xu Dong and the three of them sat together to discuss.
"Damn! In order to establish the sect, we have suffered so many twists and turns, and the construction cost alone has cost 150,000 taels! Is it so embarrassing? Xu Dong said angrily.
"Big brother, don't worry, I've inquired clearly. There were no disciples to join because of the prestige of the sect, the two factions of Xishan and Huishan had just been established, and their reputation on the rivers and lakes was not obvious, so no one came to defect. Xu Song explained.
"Oh, how can this be solved?" Xu Dong asked.
