"My lord, a group of people have come to the north gate, there are about a thousand people, they have about 200 soldiers, and there are also fire commanders, and there are hundreds of pirates chasing them, should we open the door?" A flag owner came to Zhang Daoshen's side and asked.

If it was daytime, the city gates would have to be opened, and the pirates were not ready to attack the city now, even if a small number of pirates mixed into the city, they would be looking for death, and when they arrived in the city, they would have to separate everyone and interrogate them in detail.

"Open the city gate and let the people enter the city, this should be Yan Qianhu of the Aoki Institute, they have so many Aoki Castles that are about to be lost!" Zhang Daoshen frowned and said.

The north gate was opened, all the people and the soldiers entered the city, and Yan Daliang of Aoki took his four hundred households and Li Lin to Zhang Daoshen's side on the fort wall.

"Commander, the pirates are so powerful that it is difficult for Aoki Fort to resist, so I have to leave a useful body to retreat to Jinshanwei Town, and the commander will dispatch it."

Yan Daliang saw Zhang Daoshen hurriedly kneeling at his feet, the four hundred households behind him also knelt down, and Li Lin next to him thought about it and knelt down, he helped Yan Daliang to retreat into Jinshanwei, so he told Yan Daliang that he was a soldier of Erwei Fort, and there was important news to tell the commander, Yan Daliang brought him with him.

"Did you know that losing your guard is a capital offense?" Zhang Daoshen looked at Yan Daliang, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

"The commander made the lord spare his life, the thief was powerful, and he did not hesitate to be martyred as a martyr in Aoki Fort, but considering that Aoki Fort was a small matter and Jinshanwei Town was a big matter, he secretly hoped that he could kill a few pirates in Jinshanwei Town, and it would not be in vain to live this life." Yan Daliang actually cried bitterly as he spoke.

Although the imperial court said that losing one's guard house was a capital crime, there was room for accommodation in everything, wasn't it? Now that Zhang Daoshen needs assistance, he must not directly cut down Yan Daliang, otherwise there will be chaos in this Jinshanwei Town.

"Write down your business first, this pirate will attack the city in about two days, you take your people down first, and wait for us to repel the pirates before talking about today's matter." Zhang Daoshen said to Yan Daliang.

Yan Daliang's face was ugly for a while when he heard this? Say what you say later, it's not that you have to honor the silver, from the moment he gave up Aoki Fort, he knew that he couldn't do it without bleeding this time, but fortunately he entered Jinshanwei Town, and his safety was guaranteed.

"Your Excellency, this is Brother Li from Erweibao, and he has important news to report to you." Yan Daliang heard that his affairs had passed, so he got up and introduced Li Lin to Zhang Daoshen.

If there was no Li Lin today, they would have to lose at least half of their people if they wanted to flee into Jinshanwei Town, and in order to repay Li Lin's favor, he promised to introduce him to the commander.

"Oh? Are you from the salt factory? Tell me about the situation at the salt factory. "It stands to reason that Jinshanwei was attacked by pirates, and the salt making station bore the brunt, and the news of Erwei Fort and Qiyan Fort was sent to Jinshanwei Town at the same time at noon yesterday, and when I heard that both forts were attacked by more than 1,000 pirates, Yao Qianhu sent the news to him, Zhang Daoshen did not send troops, but asked Yao Qianhu to guard the salt factory.

Yao Qianhu heard this, and went directly to Suzhou to visit relatives, although he was a thousand households in the salt factory, but he generally did not live in the salt factory because of the relationship with the capital, everyone understood this, and no one said anything.

"Our Second Fort was attacked by 5,000 pirates the day before yesterday, and we have suffered heavy losses for two days until now, killing more than 800 pirates and seriously injuring more than 500 pirates. Li Lin is not stupid, he also sees the skills of speaking in officialdom.

"What? Erweibao is still holding on? What about Su Ren? Zhang Daoshen asked.

"Our Lord Baihu originally wanted to report to the commander in person, but the situation in Erweibao is now in crisis, and he can't leave, so he just asked me to come.

Commander, Erwei Fort is in danger, more than 3,000 people in the fort are fighting to the death against pirates, please send troops quickly! Li Lin shouted again.

"This is the matter of Siege Castle... You'll have to think about it. Erwei Fort was not breached by pirates, which is a great thing, and I know that Su Ren Baihu has led his troops.

Jin Shanwei is now besieged by pirates, and it is difficult to save himself, take Li Zhuangshi down to entertain well, if the pirates withdraw the army, I will lead the troops to rescue Erweibao as soon as possible. Zhang Daoshen said.

"In that case... That's it! The villain reported the situation of Erweibao to the commander, the task has been completed, and it is difficult to stay in Jinshanwei Town, so please let the adults put me down from the city wall, and I want to go back to Erweibao as soon as possible. Li Lin said.

"The strong man is righteous, since the strong man wants to go back to Erweibao, then the official will fulfill you, what else can you do to help the official, just mention it, and you can do it and the official will never shirk." Just a few words, seeing Li Lin talking to himself calmly, without the panic of a small soldier at all, Zhang Daoshen actually liked Li Lin more and more.

"No, our Lord Baihu also asked me to ask the adults how Erweibao can help Jinshanwei reduce the pressure, and even if we give up Erweibao, we must help Jinshanwei Town." Li Lindao.

"Do you know where the pirates landed in Fort Two?" Zhang Daoshen asked when he heard Li Lin say this.

"In the two miles north of our salt factory, there are 3 large ships of more than 10 zhang, 8 large ships of more than 6 zhang, and thousands of small and medium-sized ships, all of which are docked there, and we don't know about other places." Li Lin said.

"Ten zhang big ship? Such a large fleet of pirates should have around 5000 ... You told me that 5,000 pirates attacked the second Castle of Weburg, it wouldn't be true! Zhang Daoshen asked in disbelief.

"Naturally, it is true, I have more than 3,000 soldiers and civilians in the fort, and although the walls of the fort are only three or four zhang, they are all united. Even if there are 5,000 pirates, it is difficult for the number of pirates to exceed 500 each time they attack the city, so how can it be so easy for pirates to break through my second Weibao! Li Lin said confidently.

"Li Zhuangshi, you should not have an official position in Erwei Castle, my Jin Shanwei is now in need of talents, and when the pirates retreat, Li Zhuangshi's should be able to get at least one banner master." Zhang Daoshen saw that Li Lin could come to Jinshanwei from Erweibao alone, and Yan Qianhu valued him so much, so he must have an extraordinary nature until this person.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the Su family has a good understanding of me, and I will definitely live and die with Erweibao. The words have been brought to the little one and it's time to go! Li Lin said that he was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Daoshen shouted out to Li Lin from behind.

"Is there anything else you need?" Li Lin turned around and asked.

"Li Zhuangshi, the pirates have become more and more rampant in recent years, and the court hates them to the core.

If we can keep more pirates, I think the court will know that it is not easy for us to wait. The siege of Jinshanwei by pirates would begin in three days at the latest, and they would never dare to put too many troops in Erweibao.

If possible, I want Erweibao to burn the pirate ships, as long as there are no ships, when the reinforcements from Matsue Castle come, these pirates will have to die. Zhang Daoshen said to Li Lin.

Zhang Daoshen can become the commander of Jin Shanwei, Jin Shanwei as one of the four Davids of the Ming Dynasty, he is a member of the three grades, the perspective is not comparable to ordinary people, this time Jin Shanwei encountered a pirate attack, if he can hold Jinshanwei Town, at least he can ensure that he will not be questioned, if he can kill hundreds of more pirates, then not only will he not be able to pass, but he will have merit.

"The commander is an adult, and the small one will pass the word to our hundred households!" After Li Lin finished speaking, he left quickly, and Zhang Daoshen asked one of his guards to send him out of the city.

In the dark night, there were many people hiding in the woods outside Jinshanwei Town, their homes had been broken by pirates, and they had to enter the city if they wanted to survive.

However, it is difficult to open the city gate at night, only the large guards come to the city gate, and the city gate can only be opened, in order to avoid the capture of the pirates, on the one hand, they have to hide themselves from detection, and on the other hand, they have to keep an eye on the city gate, and as time goes by, the city gate will start less and less.

A rope suddenly fell from the city wall, attracting the attention of several people in the nearby woods, and soon a strangely dressed man quickly came down from the city wall, and several people saw this and hurriedly ran over.

"Official, my kid hasn't eaten for a day, let's go into the city!" My eldest sister's family is in the city, and I will thank you when I enter the city. As he spoke, he took out a somewhat blackened silver ingot from his pocket, about 2 taels, and quietly handed it to Li Lin, who had just gained a foothold.

Li Lin was startled when he saw a figure suddenly emerging from the woods, he saw that the other party was just a civilian, and he wanted to bribe himself, so he knew that the other party had misunderstood.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a guard in Jinshan Guard Town, you have to go up from here to see if they want to." After Li Lin finished speaking, he left directly, it was not too early, he took a rifle and came out, and he didn't know what the situation was like in Erweibao.

Su Ming didn't have a walkie-talkie to call him, which at least meant that the city wall was still there, otherwise he would definitely take the rifle back.

Li Lin walked to the corner and was about to call Su Ming on the walkie-talkie, when he saw that the people had just walked under the city wall, a few arrows were shot down, two people were shot, and the others saw it and fled quickly.

This world is inherently class-bound, ordinary soldiers rob the people, and the people dare not have any complaints, even if they kill you now, they can consider themselves unlucky.

The low-level banner lord and the hundred households are in control of the life and death of the soldiers, if some soldiers are abandoned, then he will definitely not be as good as ordinary people in the future, unless he is willing to be a homeless person and leave the place of residence.

And the wealthy family determines the future of the flag owner, the hundred households and the low-level officials, the hundred households and the flag owner say yes, they are all tools of the royal family and the wealthy family, they do not want their children to suffer the hardships of being a soldier, the military households are hereditary and most of them are tied to the family, and the family relies on these hundred households and flag owners to maintain their rights in this world.

And the best class of the royal family, what are they afraid of? If there were no soldiers of these hundred households, who would guard them with so much wealth in their hands? The bustling city is where the big families live, and who has ever seen the poor who have nothing to do with it enter?

Of course, the slaves of the big families cannot be counted into the common people class, they depend on others to survive, are enslaved by the family and lose themselves, and only after they get the real rights will they jump into the most familyary class.
