Chapter 258: The Raid of the Wakos
Zhu Laosi looked disappointed, but he had promised Zhu Su to listen to him this time, but he didn't continue to entangle him at the moment. Over there, Yao Guangxiao thought for a while, and reminded Zhu Su: "Your Highness, the poor monk looks at Yang Lu with a strange expression......
"In the opinion of the poor monk, it is better to be more wary of this person."
"This king thinks so too." Zhu Su touched his chin and recalled. "Earlier, Ma Fengsun said that Yang Lu was his nephew? Yang Lu said that it was just a distant relative...... Di Meng? ”
Di Meng, who had been waiting on the sidelines, stepped forward and reported: "Your Highness, regarding this matter, Jinyiwei has investigated some eyebrows. ”
Ma Fengsun claimed that he and Yang Commander's mother Ma were from a village in Yangzhou, and Yang's mother was separated from her family at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and had no news from each other. Therefore, Ma Fengsun took the path of Yang's mother, and was commensurate with Yang's mother Lianzong as a sister and brother, so Ma Fengsun claimed to be Yang Lu's uncle. ”
"It was also because of the relationship between the commander and Yang Lu that Ma Fengsun became a salt merchant and gained a firm foothold in Suzhou Mansion in a short period of time."
"It turned out to be Lianzong." Zhu Su sneered. In this way, Ma Fengsun was able to successfully hide in Suzhou Mansion, and Yang Lu contributed a lot. I don't know if his armor was also obtained by Yang Lu.
"Since it's just Lian Zong, it seems that Yang Lu doesn't know about Ma Fengsun's identity as Zhang Chen's remnant." Zhu Su said. "The two should just use each other, Ma Fengsun uses Yang Lu as an umbrella, and Yang Lu is borrowing Ma Fengsun to make money......" He turned his head and glanced at the three beautiful coral trees.
However, this Yang Lu still has a place to use him at this time. Cao Yuan, a thousand households in Suzhou, once told this king that most of the generals in Suzhou Weizhong are now cronies promoted by Yang Lu. If this Yang Lu is moved at this moment, I am afraid that before we have time to integrate Suzhou Wei, those thieves will already call. ”
"Your Highness is thinking about it." Yao Guangxiao also nodded in agreement. "Looking at that Yang Lu was trembling, I thought he was worried about being affected by Ma Fengsun's matter...... Your Highness can calm his mind for the time being, and when he is at peace in the future, he will find someone else to replace him. ”
"That's right." Zhu Su nodded and said to the dog standing behind him: "Dog, go and get the king's golden cup, pour a glass of wine and send it to Yang Lu." ”
"Let's just say that the enemy is at present, and the safety of this king and the two royal brothers must rely more on him, the commander of the Suzhou Guard."
The dog went away in response, and Zhu Su turned his head and instructed Di Meng: "You take a group of elite horsemen out of the city, lay beacon fires everywhere and patrol the coast." ”
"Although we can't set up an ambush to intercept it, we still have to understand where the thieves landed and what their movements were."
"Yes." Di Meng clenched his fists in response.
……
With the concerted efforts of Zhu Su and Wei Guan and his entourage, Su Song began the pre-war preparations in full swing. However, even though the reaction of Zhu Su and the others was already very fast, when they really got the news of the landing of the thieves, everyone still felt caught off guard.
On the fourth day of the first month of the sixth year of Hongwu, only three days later, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Di Meng, who was standing on a certain dirt mountain by the sea, saw the mighty Japanese ship on the sea level.
"Hey, that's ......"
Di Meng gasped. Turning his head, he instructed the sentinel behind him: "Quick, light the wolf smoke." ”
"Then let's hurry back to the city and inform Your Highness!"
The sentry behind him hurriedly responded, and after a while, a lonely wisp of wolf smoke rose on this beach.
……
"Heh, that's the wolf smoke?"
On a gate boat in the center, a young man with a lean face and a black and gold Wu suit opened his arms, staring at the wolf smoke rising one after another, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. "Ida-kun, it seems that Akito has been prepared for a long time."
Beside the young man, a meaty-faced widow spat the deck. He was of short stature, but his helmet had two extremely tall antlers inserted in it, as if he wanted to use the height of the antlers to hide his lack of height. Listening to the young man speak to him, the man turned his head to the young man and said in a broken Chinese dialect: "Zhang Jun, since the Ming people have been prepared for a long time, should we wait and see from the sea first?" ”
"Perhaps, there will be an ambush set up by the Ming army on the shore?"
"Hahaha, Otada-kun is too worried!" The young man laughed. Pointing to the wolf smoke on the shore, he said with great certainty: "This coast is so narrow and long, how can the Ming army know where we land?" ”
"If you want to set up ambushes everywhere, I am afraid that you will need tens of thousands of troops."
"Besides, even if there is an ambush, can those Ming troops be able to stop the Japanese warriors under your command of Otida-kun?"
"Not bad, not bad!" The young man's sycophant, the Japanese man named Onida, who was filmed, suddenly felt comfortable. "Even if there is an ambush by the Ming people, under the sudden advance of the ronin samurai pig of my Ota family, those Ming people will definitely not be able to defeat the army!"
This young man with a capable face is Zhang Li, the second son of Zhang Shicheng who is still alive. Zhang Li has dark skin, and he has a reckless air in his gestures, which is definitely different from his brother Zhang Ren, who has fine skin and tender meat. But the shrewdness in his eyes is far better than the pretentious Zhang Renduo.
And the Japanese man next to him is a famous Japanese man on an overseas island, named Onida Clan. The Onida clan was also a famous local daimyo in the Wa Kingdom, but in the "Minato River War" in which the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom were divided, the Onida clan was ordered to defend Fukuyama Castle, but was defeated by the Ashikaga Takashi clan, who later founded the Ashikaga shogunate.
The Onida clan fled to the sea, and the Onida clan succeeded him as the governor. However, the fiefdom of the Wa Kingdom has fallen, and the Uida family has lost its foundation, and even if they return to the Wa Kingdom itself, they will only become a down-and-out samurai. So the Iida clan simply became a Japanese robber, and used a Japanese sword to "make a living" at sea.
Unlike other Japanese who were forced to make a living, the Onida clan were all samurai who had experienced hundreds of battles in the "village wars" of the Japanese kingdom. Its ruthlessness is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary Japanese cowards, and after coming and going, it has created a great family business on the sea.
As the "family governor", the Idashi clan Nao is down, but he still considers himself to be of aristocratic blood. On weekdays, he treats other Japanese who are also Japanese people, and they also rob and annex them at every turn. But he treated Zhang Li, who led the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and was a "nobleman" of the Celestial Empire, with courtesy. The two call each other brothers and sisters on weekdays, and they often act in embarrassment when they rob and rob each other......
"Zhang Jun, then in your opinion, what should we do?" Onida asked Zhang Lidao directly.
"Daida-kun, I think, we will go directly to the city of Suzhou."
"If you want to grab it, we'll just grab a big wave!"
Zhang Li licked the corners of his lips excitedly.
