Chapter 190: The Ambition of the Wakos
The people of the Central Left Institute of Golden State are panicking, not only here, but also in the entire Golden State, and people are worried that the Japanese will come to sneak attack again one day.
But what can I do?
A moment of precaution, a lifetime of precaution.
At the wharf at Lushunkou, there had been no ships for more than a month, Sun Yan looked at each other across the sea on the wharf, and the veteran's eyes were a little ruthless.
"Since one of Denglai's supply ships was robbed by the Japanese at sea, Shandong has stopped shipping. It is also because of the supply ship that it has attracted more Japanese robbers, and there is a trend of grouping. ”
Sun Yan said hatefully.
In the end, it was the royal government that took action and organized more than a dozen large ships in Tianjin to send the materials needed for the Jinzhou Zhongzuo.
In addition to hundreds of sergeants who came with the ship, there was also Jin Zhong, who led the team.
"How's the human heart?"
Jin Zhong and Sun Yan got on their horses and talked on the road, and they immediately asked the key.
As long as the human heart is still there, there will always be a way, but if the human heart disappears, then no amount of methods will be useless.
"You can still fight." Sun Yan said unhappily.
"This war is too wretched, and I am led by the nose by the Japanese bandits, and there is no way at all."
Jin Zhong appeased a few words, and then made a suggestion.
"As the saying goes, Cheng bites the golden three-plate axe, but it doesn't matter if he is an old trick or not, as long as it is easy to use, it is better to set up a beacon tower along the coast."
The beacon tower is an extremely ancient tactic to prevent the enemy from attacking and informing the rear, which has been used since the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It has been spread in China for thousands of years.
Sun Yan was a little unconvinced, and scolded: "These widows are too thieves, they never confront them head-on, they will only go ashore in the dark, and sneak attack while people are unprepared." ”
Jin Zhong laughed: "You are a veteran, you know more about military affairs than me, what's so angry about this." ”
After thinking about it, he was relieved: "This gang of Japanese robbers is actually a defeated soldier of Japan, although they are the generals of the defeated army, they are not guilty of war, and their skills are not weak." ”
"Ugh."
Sun Yan sighed, and scolded again: "This group of people acted brutally and brutalized the people of our country, and Lao Tzu couldn't wait to eat their flesh raw. ”
Jin Zhong was quite calm and was not affected by Sun Yan.
"According to the little prince's plan, sooner or later he will be able to destroy his country and destroy his people, don't be angry easily."
"I'm afraid I won't see that day."
Sun Yan is a little lost, he is old, he is old, and he doesn't know how many years he can live.
A few days passed.
After Jin Zhong left, Sun Yan calmed down and finally decided to take Jin Zhong's suggestion, starting from Lushunkou and gradually repairing the beacon tower in the north.
The left eye, the right eye, the West Sandbank, the Sanshou Mountain, and the mountain head were set up in total.
Because the affairs of the Jinzhou Central Left Office were stabilized, Sun Yan took time out to lead a few personal soldiers to inspect the terrain everywhere.
From the mouth of the Qingyun River, all the way to a high ground.
The mountains in Liaodong are the remnants of the Changbai Mountain, like a stick penetrating deep into Liaodong and separating them into two ends.
The northern part of the mountain range is Shenyang, Liaoyang, Haizhou and other major areas of the present, and the domains of the Liao king, the Shen king, and the Han king, are all in the north.
To the south are Zhenjiang, Kuandian, Fengcheng, etc., which are currently not very populated, while Jinzhou is on the Liaodong Peninsula and is the tail of the mountain range.
It can be said that Sun Yan is in charge of the Jinzhou Central Left Office, and the criminals he manages, are already the largest force in the south.
"What's this called?"
"I don't know, do you want to find a local person to ask." The pro-soldier said.
Sun Yan nodded, and his soldiers quickly went to look for the local people.
It didn't take long.
The soldiers brought back two people who looked nervous.
Although Sun Yan doesn't have a good temper, he won't throw his prestige on the people, what kind of head there is, what kind of subordinates he has.
The entire Beiping Zhuwei, under the leadership of Yanwangfu, has been working up and down for many years, so that the atmosphere of each guard has been maintained neatly.
"Fellow, what's this place called?"
"Look at the sea pot." An elderly citizen took the initiative to speak.
"Look at the sea pot!" Sun Yan read it again, and looked around again.
The terrain here is beautiful.
It is located on the edge of the mountain range, the terrain is high, and you can see the movement of the sea at a glance to the south, and the north side is the mountain, so you can hide the soldiers without being discovered.
"Is the general here to fight the Japanese invaders?" The older people asked curiously.
Sun Yan did not deny it, and bluntly affirmed it.
"This is our thousand households, and the anti-Japanese errand we receive is the Japanese bandit." The soldier smiled, "It's a pity that the Japanese invaders have come and gone without a trace, and they have been slipped away by the Japanese every time." ”
The older people were calm, and the younger people were a little afraid.
"The general can fight the pirates here." The elder people said, "Every time the Japanese come to plunder, this is the place they must pass. ”
Sun Yan was stunned, looked at the old man in front of him carefully, and saw the cocoon on the old man's hand.
The cocoon on the soldier's hand is different from the cocoon on the farmer's hand.
"Are you sure?"
"Head guarantee." The elder man said lightly.
Sun Yan looked at the old man deeply and did not ask about the origin of this person.
In the more than 20 years since the establishment of the country, it has risen from the flames of war, and how much recklessness has escaped into the people.
Don't mention anything else.
More than 20 years ago, the Red Turban Army marched north, fighting from China to Liaodong, from Liaodong to Nuergan, and from Nuergan to Goryeo.
It can be said that Li Chenggui was able to overthrow Goryeo last year, because the Red Turban Army defeated Goryeo that year, so that the prestige of the king of Goryeo was completely lost, and his strength was greatly damaged, otherwise Li Chenggui would have no chance to overthrow the king of Goryeo.
This person's age, as well as his knowledge, is mostly a remnant of the Red Turban Army, Sun Yan doesn't want to ask in detail, otherwise if he really asks, he can only use a knife.
Acting as ignorant is the protection of this person.
"You're good." Sun Yan took the people and left.
Seeing them walk away, the young people were worried: "Dad, didn't you say that you wouldn't reveal it, I think the general must have guessed it." ”
The faces of the elderly people were peaceful.
He didn't expect the fallen leaves to return to his roots, he had fought for half his life, and now he was satisfied with a place to farm in peace.
However, he was dissatisfied, since he happened to meet the general of the Ming Dynasty, it was the will of heaven.
"It's fine."
The old man fearlessly returned to his home.
A few days passed.
A group of people came from the direction of the central left of Jinzhou, armed with axes, hammers and other tools, and built a watchtower at Wanghaipo.
The wood was built, which was relatively rudimentary and not high, because the terrain here was already high, and then a few barracks were built.
More than a month passed.
In the evening, as usual, the sentry on the watchtower noticed a flash of light on the sea.
The sentry was an elite soldier specially sent by Sun Yan, with rich experience, and immediately guessed that there was a ship on the sea, notified his comrades, and rode on his horse and galloped to the left office of Jinzhou.
At this time.
It was already dark, and the soldiers of the guard had returned to the camp to rest.
"Are you sure it's a wolf?" Sun Yan asked.
"The sky is too dark, and the sea is far away, so I can't see the trace, but there is a fire on the sea, there must be someone, probably a widow."
"Are you sure?" Sun Yan had to ask clearly.
"Intuition."
The elite soldier said embarrassedly
"Give the order to go down, and the troops are assembled."
Sun Yan no longer hesitated, and simply gave the order.
There were 1,200 infantry and dozens of cavalry on the left and right sides of Jinzhou, and more than 3,000 men over the age of 16 and under the age of 50 were assigned to the prisoners.
Some generals stepped forward to make suggestions.
"If it is really a Japanese bandit, a few hundred soldiers can drag the other party, and the large army will immediately go to support, if it is not a Japanese bandit, it will not affect the morale of the whole army."
This man's suggestion was supported by a number of people.
The enemy situation is unknown.
It's okay if it's a wolf, but if it's not a wolf, it's indispensable.
If you return without success this time, two or three times will cause a big blow to morale, so take a serious measure.
Sun Yan refused.
"The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, since he has decided to attack, either do his best or return in vain, hundreds of people can't annihilate the Japanese Kou, maybe the Japanese can take advantage of it."
Speaking of which, he knew his soldiers, trusted the news brought back by the soldiers he had hand-picked, and the judgment of the soldiers.
In short, will be familiar with their own soldiers.
This is a principle that has endured.
Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, several armies that could fight were formed by civilian officials themselves, so they were naturally familiar with the generals in the army.
These famous ministers, with a new army, were also unable to fight, but suffered a great defeat.
1,200 guards, with the support of the palace, were fully armoured, and the more than 3,000 men who had gathered together were also issued some weapons.
The whole team totaled less than 5,000 people, and went in the direction of Wanghaipo.
On the way, I met the sentries who came to report the military situation, and it was several sentries left by Wanghaipot who brought important news.
"It's a widow who abandoned the boat and landed at the mouth of the Shahe River."
"Okay."
Sun Yan was overjoyed.
The generals smiled.
I'm really not afraid of fighting, but what I'm afraid of is letting the Japanese slip away.
Sun Yan immediately ordered that the elite soldiers of the guard station follow him, leading 2,000 men, a total of more than 3,000 people, to attack the landed Japanese invaders.
The rest of the people went to the mouth of the Shahe River and took the opportunity to occupy the ships of the Japanese and did not give the landed Japanese a chance to escape.
……
On the sea, there were thirty-one boats, full of Japanese robbers, some wearing only straw clothes, and some shirtless wearing bamboo armor.
There are also various weapons in their hands, some with swords, some with bows, and some with flags.
And the presence of flags shows that although it is chaotic, it still maintains the military organization.
These people who are bald on their heads, with strange cloaks around them, have been exposed to the sun like a during their life at sea.
But the calluses on their hands show that they are all veterans who have fought for many years.
Starting from Ma Tuozi and arriving in Liaozuo, everyone did not make a sound, their movements were skillful, and what they pursued was speed.
Rob in the shortest possible time, and leave by boat before the main force of the Ming army arrives.
I've done this for years, and the tactics haven't changed, and it's old-fashioned, but it's easy to use.
The previous robbery of a supply ship made the pirates dance and made the pirates emboldened.
In two months, they will return to China, bring back a large amount of loot to feed their families, and come back next year, and life is getting more and more promising.
After the Japanese landed, they formed a line under the leadership of the leader, and they marched in a row, and each was full of morale.
They mustered up the courage to return home with a full load today.
If you grab a little more things, your wife and children will have more to eat, and maybe you can have an extra son in the family.
