Chapter 150: Numbers are Skillful
Before dawn on the second day, Zhao Xiaohou took his soldiers and horses to ambush in the woods on the shore.
After waiting for more than an hour, I saw a sea ship with a moon flag sailing over, and slowly approached the shore with familiar knowledge. Zhao Xiaohou Ye didn't wait for them to stop, and came up with two hundred archers and fifty firecrackers. The rocket waits and asks if you are afraid? Unless your boat isn't made of wood! Zhao Xiaohou thought confidently.
Who knew that the Japanese at the bow of the ship saw them, but they were not afraid, but only looked behind them, "Ha Ya Ku!" Ha Ya Ku! Called. After a while, I saw a row of Heavenly Dynasty girls escorted up by the Japanese on the side of the ship, about twenty or thirty. When they saw that there was a military master of the Celestial Dynasty on the shore, they all cried "The official save me", and many of them struggled to jump overboard.
And those widows hid behind them and laughed, and deliberately grabbed a girl in front of them with their hands from time to time. It can be seen that this is not the first time they have used this trick. I don't know how long it was, a group of people suddenly came to the shore, many of whom were the parents and relatives of those girls, and for a while the boat and the boat were crying.
Zhao Xiaohou was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the Japanese would use these captured girls as human shields, so he could only stop the bow and arrow and firecracker, and he didn't know how to get close to the Japanese and attack them. He was even more annoyed by the question of who had led these people to the front? Whichever side fired, the people bore the brunt of the fire.
He stopped, but the Japanese did not stop, and they did not dismount, when suddenly a small square opening opened on the side of the ship, and a cannon came out of the opening. Li Bin's sharp eyes saw the artillery, and he hurriedly exclaimed: "General, get out of the way!" They have artillery! ”
Zhao Xiaohou Ye hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat, and asked the soldiers to go over and drive the gathered people away.
But it was not easy to run on the beach, and some of the people and the soldiers who went to drive the people away were left behind, and before they could retreat beyond the range of the artillery, they were blown to the ground by the bombs of the Japanese invaders.
The little marquis was furious, took a bow, set up a rocket, drew the bow, and shot at the boat fiercely. Zhao Muzhe has been the commander of Yulinwei for two years, and his other martial arts are weaker, but he has nothing to do in the palace to practice archery every day, and his archery skills can catch up with King Duan. I saw him hit the moon flag with an arrow, nailed the flag to the mast, and the flag immediately burst into flames.
The Japanese on the ship were afraid of burning the mast, and "Baga!" Yaga! Someone climbed up to put out the fire. Where is the little marquis willing to let go of this opportunity? The arrow was fired again, and with a "boom", it was shot at the Japanese man on the mast, and the Japanese fell to the deck in response.
At this time, the fire of the Japanese was not extinguished, and they hurriedly drove the ship to the shore first. The boat had gone a long way, and the little marquis couldn't hear the girls' cries, which made all the soldiers on the shore angry.
The Japanese used medium-sized sea vessels, and the artillery and firearms on the shore, and even bows and arrows, had a deterrent effect on it, but they used the captured girls as meat shields, which made the little marquis throw rats and weapons, and they couldn't use their fists and kicks at all. And they were condescending on the ship, attacking the Celestial Empire soldiers on the beach, but they had a geographical advantage.
Li Bin counted the dead and wounded, and three people died, including one civilian, two soldiers, and more than ten wounded. In addition to burning a flag and killing a person, the Japanese did not hurt their vitality.
On the same day, the superintendent Zhang Zhi wrote in the inspection express to the imperial court: General Zhao led his troops to meet the Japanese with thousands of people, and the people and the army suffered many casualties. He asked the imperial court to allocate 100,000 silver to appease the coastal people and make the people resentful. The words are written correctly, but the order of the words is a little wrong...... But how could the imperial court, thousands of miles away, know?
Zhang Zhi handed the sealed letter to Lu Ping and said with a smile: "Lin Youlu did a good job today, he came in time, and you will see him praise him for me when I look back." By the way, has his filial piety arrived? ”
"It's here, Overseer, the filial piety of the Lin County Order has a total of 200,000 taels of silver. The 1.5 million taels of Guangdong and Fujian Mansion will be transported back to Beijing directly after they are collected. Today, I have also withheld the food and wages that came later. Lu Ping smiled and said, "Are you going to send it back to the capital with the letter?" ”
Zhang Zhi smiled and nodded his head with his finger and said, "You are loyal!" How much is the salary of 10,000 people, and where can the national prince see it? Just send it to my house. You send the letter to the Mansion of the Kingdom of Ji, and the silver is quietly sent to the Mansion of the King of Xian. ”
Soon, Duanwang received a transcription letter from Ji Baiyu, and compared it with the letter written by Shen Congxi, he knew which one Zhang Zhi was playing.
"Let them go." King Duan folded the letter and said: "The silver of his two lakes has just been robbed, and if we make another move, it will arouse their suspicions, and this letter is more important than silver." ”
"Zhang Zhi is really a skillful number, thousands of people meet the enemy, and it has become a thousand people to meet the enemy, and the 100,000 consolation money he stretched out his hand to ask for is estimated to not fall into the hands of the people. These people's appetites are also great, and it won't be long before your Xie family's Heavenly Dynasty will be hollowed out by their group of moths. Tang Yu shook his head and said.
"This is his usual style, he is also able to fool my father who doesn't care about things, how can the ministers not know it? The day he returned to Beijing was when he was imprisoned, so why not let him jump for a few more days. When the time comes, the new account and the old account will be counted together! Duan Wang sneered. When he replied, he added one more sentence, asking Shen Congxi to beware of Zhang Zhi's behind.
"Oh? Do you already have a way to bring down Zhang Zhi? Tang Yu asked.
Xie Ruijiao shook his head: "This old fox, all the piles and piles have pulled the emperor inside, and if he can't hit the vital point, even if he sues him, he won't be killed." I think we can take advantage of Dongchang's dissatisfaction with him and let them eat dogs, which is more convenient than we can do it ourselves. Moreover, if he falls into the hands of Dongchang, he doesn't want to come out alive, there is Yan Shiyi staring at it! ”
Speaking of Yan Shiyi, Xie Ruijiao asked again: "When will Eleven return to Beijing?" ”
"It's supposed to be these two days. He brought back 600,000 yuan, and the rest was sent back to Hunan. ”
"This time, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the Cao Gang and the Tang Sect will each take 50,000, and we still have 1.4 million. I plan to ask Mr. Zhu to open several resurrection halls in all provinces of the Celestial Empire, one is to serve as our contact point, and the other is to facilitate some things for the local people in the future. Xie Ruizhu looked at Tang Yu and said.
Tang Yu nodded and smiled: "Shopkeeper Ji, I can't be his master, I can't ask for the 50,000 yuan from the Tang Gate, so let's put it in the silver of your pharmacy." Luxianglou and Tangmen also have contact points in various provinces, but after all, they face different groups of people. The big doctor heals the country, and the small doctor heals the people. Opening a pharmacy is indeed a good way to get close to the people, and it is also a way to cure diseases and save people, and the merit is immeasurable. ”
King Duan said with a smile: "Opening the Resurrection Hall all over the Heavenly Empire, this is Haitang's idea." The medicine she launched in the Fusheng Hall has also been slowly accepted by the people, and it is more convenient to grab the medicine for ordinary diseases. She also said a sentence, which is the same as what you said, what she said is: good medicine heals people, and good people heal the country. ”
"This little woman is indeed insightful, and she can be the mother of a country!" Tang Yu laughed.
King Duan thought of the begonia, which was worthy of being the mother of a country, and on his birthday, he was angry with that woman for no reason, and his heart was nameless!
I, Xie Ruijiao, am I someone you can threaten?
