Chapter 157: The situation is critical
Zhu Yunwen looked at the candlelight and sighed: "What should I do with this Wu Xiaotang!" ”
Jiang Xian was silent for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you let it go first!" ”
The so-called letting go is naturally that the official does not make a statement on this matter, and for now, this seems to be the best way.
"I agree with Master Jiang's opinion, things are still unclear at the moment, so it's better not to make a rash decision!" Qi Tai agreed.
Zhu Yunwen was already hesitant about how to deal with Wu Xiaotang, and when he saw that he could delay, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Although he didn't know what the imperial court planned to do with him, Wu Ruotang still marched to Qiongzhou Mansion under Fan Zeng's suggestion and defeated Qiongzhou Mansion.
For the large-scale attack of Nanhaiwei, the entire Qiongzhou shook, or it can be said that the whole Fujian shook, and the Fujian political envoy Si Luo took off and was even more shocked to the outside, and in a hurry, tens of thousands of troops and horses were mobilized to crusade against the rebellion.
Gao Bowu and Gao Tianyu's troops retreated to Qiongzhou in a hurry, Guan Sheng, and Qi Jiguang led the elite of Nanhaiwei and Dengzhou Wei to surround it, and it is estimated that it can be captured in two days.
As soon as the news of Nanhaiwei's attack on Qiongzhou came out, he immediately ordered Feng Tianhang, the capital of Quanzhou, to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Nanhaiwei to relieve Qiongzhou's urgency.
"Sir, what should I do now?" The information sent by Shi Qian made Wu Ruotang a little panicked. At present, the main force has been sent to attack Qiongzhou, most of the remaining soldiers are recruits, and the troops are seriously insufficient, and the capital of Nanhaiwei is not very strong, and it is difficult to resist Feng Tianhang's 30,000 iron army.
Fan Zeng was dressed in cloth, looked at Wu Xiaotang, who was quite frightened, and sighed slightly in his heart, his own lord was still too young after all! If you want to become the overlord who achieves all kinds of achievements, you need to be tempered by many people.
"Don't panic, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain! When we made the decision to attack Qiongzhou Mansion, we should have thought of today! Fan Zeng said calmly.
Wu Ruotang and Jin Se Mixiang glanced at each other, and both of them smiled bitterly.
"Although Feng Tianhang has 30,000 horses. But we are holding on to the city, 10,000 horses are enough! Fan Zeng continued.
Jin Se said melancholy: "But sir, we don't even have 10,000 horses, and the army has been taken away by Zhu Wu and Guan Sheng." Qi Jiguang also went with him, and the entire South China Sea guarded the Gaden Prefecture, and there were less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left! They are all newly recruited soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is worrying! ”
Fan Zeng smiled confidently: "The old man has 10,000, so naturally there are 10,000!" ”
"Sir, you mean the sailor?" Wu Ruotang had an idea.
Fan Zeng nodded: "The sailor went ashore." Isn't it just the elite soldiers who defend the city? ”
Wu Ruotang nodded excitedly: "The sailor fights with the pirates at sea, bravely and ruthlessly!" The dragon on the sea is a tiger when you go ashore! Seven thousand sailors can at least be worth 10,000 elite soldiers! ”
"And we can also recruit people to help defend the city!" Jinse Mixiang's brain is also alive.
Fan Zeng looked at the pair of men and women in front of him and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, very smart." Just a little bit of it! ”
"Your Excellency has been widely benevolent during this time, and you have been very prestigious among the people, as long as you stand up and raise your arms, you will be like a cloud, afraid that there will be no soldiers?" Fan Zeng smiled.
"Mr. Xie's advice! I'll arrange it! Wu Ruotang bowed to Fan Zengshen and left in a hurry.
Come to the most prosperous place in the county. Wu Ruotang, who was dressed in armor, stood on a high place, surrounded by people who came to greet him.
"The people of the South China Sea, I am Wu Xiaotang, the commander of the South China Sea Guard, and today, I want to ask you a few questions here!" Wu Xiaotang exercised his internal strength and spread the sound far away to ensure that everyone could hear it.
The three words Wu Xiaotang are very prestigious in the hearts of the people of Nanhaiwei, and it is precisely because of him that this was once remote and poor. Where bandits run rampant, it becomes prosperous, rich and prosperous! The common people have a good impression of it.
"Your Excellency, please speak! I'm waiting to hear you! "The people should be at peace.
"Okay, I want to ask everyone, how are you doing now?" Wu Xiaotang clenched his fists.
"Good!"
"Do you want to live better?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want to go back in time? Do you want to be like before, in order to avoid bandits, you left your hometown? Do you want to be like the one you used to be, selling your children and daughters in order to avoid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and do you want to be like the one who was once separated from the wives who were exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials? Wu Ruotang asked three questions in a row.
After a moment of silence, the people shouted: "No, no! I'd rather die. I don't want to live that dark life anymore! ”
Wu Ruotang smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Let me tell you, just outside the city, there is a group of jackals, tigers and leopards, they are jealous of our wealth today, and they want to attack us, kill all our men, plunder our wealth accumulated with blood and sweat, and bully our wives and daughters, I ask you, can you bear it?" ”
"Can't!" All the men said with red eyes.
"So what should we do? Will we open the door and surrender, or will we fight the enemy to the end for the sake of our homeland? Wu Ruotang shouted.
"Fight, fight, rather die than surrender!" The hardcoverers shouted.
"Okay, all those who are willing to defend the city, go to the government office immediately, get weapons, and defend our homeland together!" Wu Ruotang raised his arms and shouted, and everyone rushed to the mansion to equip weapons and prepare to defend the city.
Jin Se Mixiang on the side looked at Wu Ruotang's passionate speech stupidly, and couldn't help but sigh: "This guy should go to Amway!" ”
Feng Tianhang is the commander of the Quanzhou Weidu, and he can be regarded as a member of the party. is also familiar with Ye Zhenming, hearing that this colleague was killed by his subordinates, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and after receiving the military order, he immediately led the army to Nanhai Wei day and night, and at the same time avenged Ye Zhenming, he saved a big military merit for himself by the way.
After surrounding Nanhaiwei, Feng Tianhang was originally going to surrender, but Nanhaiwei was united and swore not to surrender, which made Feng Tianhang a little puzzled, what kind of ability does this Wu Xiaotang have, and the foolish people are willing to die for him? But he is not worried, anyway, the elite of the other party has already poured out, and the current Nanhai guards are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can get it at their fingertips.
"Brothers, I heard that this Nanhaiwei is very rich! Wu Xiaotang, this bastard, has no less pirates! The pirate's wealth for decades is cheap, today I put down my words here, attack the city, give you half a day to search, how much you can get, it depends on your own ability! Feng Tianhang looked at the not very strong city wall in the distance and said greedily.
"My lord, we are officers and soldiers, what if this spreads?" One of the generals said with some concern.
"Afraid of what? Who let them be traitors, we conquered the nest of traitors, the rebels are hidden among the people, in order to clear the rebels, some people were accidentally injured, who dares to say more? Feng Tianhang said proudly.
"Your Excellency is wise!" The generals were convinced. (To be continued.) )
