Chapter 123: Exterminate the Wakos
Momiji and his entourage stayed here for five or six days before leaving, and when they left, they also reached an agreement that the disciples of the two factions would continue to communicate and learn.
The news of the Wudang faction's disciples fighting against the Japanese and annihilating their opponents spread, and more and more disciples from various factions came to learn and communicate. They came to visit, of course, to understand the Japanese and figure out how to fight the Japanese Invaders, after all, the Wudang disciples were the first to face the Japanese Invaders, and they completely annihilated their opponents!
The disciples of various factions came and went, and Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue simply hid in the small building to sort out and study medical skills.
Three years have passed, and under the linkage of the disciples of the martial arts sect, the pirates who came ashore almost did not run back, and were surrounded and annihilated by the disciples of the sect and the garrison, and most of the pirates who escaped escaped from the encirclement were killed and injured.
Of course, the pirates suffered heavy casualties, and the disciples and garrisons of the sect suffered considerable losses. Some of them were killed and injured in the face of a large number of pirates, and some were defeated by arrogance and negligence. But in any case, the arrogance of the pirates has been completely suppressed, and now no pirates dare to go ashore.
Li Shucheng counted the pirates who had been annihilated in the past two years, and thought that the pirates had been greatly injured and could now go to sea to sweep the pirates.
Going to sea to completely eliminate the pirates, and return the Daming coast to a peaceful place, this matter does not need Li Shucheng to come forward at all, and even does not need the guidance of the disciples of each faction, the commanders of the guards have already reported it, this kind of good opportunity to make contributions and become famous for future generations, although they are only military generals, but after so many years of officialdom, they can naturally understand.
From Fujian to Shandong, a total of three routes were formed and set off by boat. According to the information obtained from the captives over the years, the three-way army went straight to the pirate's lair and swept all the way.
On the ship of the commander of Jin Shanwei, the commander and Li Shucheng sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting. In the past five or six days, they had already captured three pirate lairs, and the process was very easy, which is why the commander was so relaxed.
"Your Excellency, the pirates, though their vitality has been greatly damaged, we should not take it lightly. Li Shucheng said while drinking tea, "It's not too late to relax when the pirates are destroyed this time." "The commander was very nervous when he went to sea before, but he had seen the first pirate lair, most of them were old and weak women and children, and their faces were yellow and thin, and their clothes were ragged, and the fierce image of the pirate disappeared in an instant, and he never took the pirate to heart again. In the past few days, he invited Li Shucheng to have tea, and Li Shucheng did not say anything for the sake of cooperation over the years, and planned to let him rest for a few days before talking.
This commander is the one who cooperated with the disciples of Wudang two years ago to exterminate the pirates. In the past few years, he has cooperated with Wudang disciples, and he has made several contributions, and he has been promoted to commander with merit.
"These pirates, if they don't come, they don't know, and their lives are hard. The commander said, "Most of the young and strong people went ashore to rob and were exterminated, and most of the rest were old and weak, even if we didn't come, they would be in the sea, or they would freeze and starve to death in a few years." ”
"That's other pirates. Li Shucheng said, "This is not the case with the next wave of pirates. According to the intelligence analysis we have obtained, there are still hundreds of young and strong pirates who can fight, and they have a favorable position, which is not easy to deal with. ”
"Isn't there Li Shucheng and you and Wudang disciples. "All we have to do is quietly kill their sentries, as we have done the previous times, and my army will go up." ”
Li Shucheng shook his head, this commander floated.
Then it turned out to be like this, Li Shucheng took the Wudang disciples all the way to the sentry post, but the army was finally stopped outside the gate of the pirate village, and the commander waved his big hand and attacked! In his words, it was to use momentum to crush the resistance of the pirates on the other side, and fight down.
But how could it be so easy to fall into a battle? Soon they suffered hardship, and more than half of the pioneers were killed and wounded and had to retreat.
The vanguard retreated with heavy casualties, and the commander was numb, which was different from what he thought! Li Shucheng shook his head in his heart, this commander has also grown up step by step after many wars, and he used to be a person full of courage. But after that, there were few wars, and even if there were, they were small-scale wars, and they never fought to the death on the battlefield.
Li Shucheng shook his head in his heart, and said: "Commander, send troops to pass over the cliffs on both sides, and outflank the two wings." ”
"Yes, yes, Liu Meng, Hu Lei, you two will outflank your subordinates. The commander hurriedly said.
Liu Meng and Hu Lei were respectful on their faces, but they were despised in their hearts, they were afraid of losing for a while, what kind of commander is this? I think that the three of them were all guards and thousands of households, and he was more powerful than him, if he wasn't lucky enough to meet the help of the pirate Wudang's disciples, how could he sit in the position of commander one day?
Liu Meng and Hu Lei led the men up to the cliff, there were no loose stones on it, but they could also cause trouble for the pirates with bows and arrows, and they could not defend wholeheartedly.
Then there was a frontal feint, and the dense drums and shouts made the pirates inside panic, thinking that they were going to attack again.
The pirate leader was not at ease when he heard the earth-shattering drums, so he came to check in person, and Li Shucheng quickly identified the pirate leader.
"Forget it, let's help. Li Shucheng thought to himself. He was not for this commander, such a general was not worthy of his help, he was for the sake of reducing the casualties of the guards and soldiers.
Pulling out a knife that he carried with him to cut meat, he bent his arm with his right hand, and with a twist of his wrist, the flying knife spun and shot away. The pirate leader was looking this way, only to feel a sudden light in front of him, and he was no longer conscious.
The knife passed through the pirate leader's head, exited the back of his head, and snapped into the cliff. The pirate leader was carried backwards by the throwing knife and fell to the ground, and the pirates were stunned for a moment, but after a few breaths came back to their senses, and exclaimed, one of the minions exclaimed, "The big boss is dead!
This sound made the pirates completely confused! A rabble like them, once the backbone of the main heart is dead, then there is still the will to fight? And this is also too terrifying, the officers and troops on the opposite side are still thirty zhang away, but their own leader was killed by them, how can this gate be defended?
As soon as the pirates were in chaos, the soldiers would immediately seize the opportunity to charge, and Liu Meng and Hu Lei's men on the cliffs on both sides used arrows to block the pirates who came to reinforce them, and captured the gate in less than a quarter of an hour.
As soon as the gate of the walled gate was opened, the pirates could no longer stop the officers and soldiers, but the gate was narrow, and the number of officers and soldiers was not dominant for a while, and the two sides fought fiercely, causing a lot of casualties to the officers and soldiers. With more and more officers and troops, the pirates were completely suppressed, and then they were surrounded and annihilated, and the wealth was collected, and then a fire broke out, and the stockade was wiped out.
Once this pirate was wiped out, the pirates behind it didn't have much strength, and although it took a lot of time, it went smoothly.
The ship returned to the port, and Li Shucheng took the Wudang disciples to say goodbye and left, without hesitation. He didn't want any credit, so why bother to stay and look for himself.
When I returned to the station, I had a good time with the Wudang disciples, and sent them away the next day.
"Someone is coming. Li Shucheng was lazy, lying on the rocking chair to sleep, Jiang Mingyue woke him up and said.
"Who is it?" asked Li Shucheng.
"I don't know, looking at the outfit should be someone from the government. Jiang Mingyue said.
"Official, let's go. Li Shucheng said. Li Shucheng is reluctant to deal with the government, not because of the relationship between martial arts and the government, but purely because he hates the government. Even if he was treated as a guest, it was not a good thing for him.
As soon as the two of them left in a hurry, there was a knock on the open courtyard door. They are still used to it, the courtyard door is open, and Wudang disciples can come in directly when they come to find them.
After knocking on the door for a while, there was no movement inside, and the group entered the courtyard, shouting a few times but no one answered, the leader thought for a while, and said: "Look around." ”
The two had already left, how could they find it, their subordinates looked around, came out and said: "No one, but ......"
"But what?"
"There was no one, but there was no sign of going far. The subordinate hurriedly said.
"Of course I do. The leader said, came to the stone table, and opened the teacup, which still had half a cup of tea.
There were a few books on the table, and the leader picked them up and looked at them, but they were copied medical books.
From noon to night, no one will come, and the leader knows that the person he is looking for will not return, but he can't just leave, and he has to wait two days before he can go back. On the second day, the third day, the leader took a few medical books and left with his men.
A few volumes of medical books were taken back, and the leader thought that he would be demoted if the task was not completed, but he didn't expect to be praised in the end. It turned out that among those few medical books, other medical books were circulated, but one of the unnamed medical books had never appeared, which talked about the solutions to many diseases, which made the hospital excited, and the emperor was overjoyed after hearing the report.
There are no advanced medical books in this medical book, but the solutions to the plague, the treatment of the blindfold, the prevention of the big neck disease, etc., are the most useful for the Ming Dynasty.
"Good guy, it's good to run fast, otherwise if you get caught, even if you are given an official position, it will be a big trouble. Li Shucheng said. Those guards and generals, especially the commander, knew that their martial arts were high. Moreover, Lao Zhu had already made Jinyiwei, Li Shucheng didn't believe that Jinyiwei did not monitor the participation of disciples of various factions in the extermination of pirates, so that his martial arts would fall into the eyes of those who cared about it. Then naturally it is to win over, stuff you with an official position, and go and work hard for Lao Zhu. He didn't even need Lao Zhu, his subordinates could do it.
Jiang Mingyue smiled, the two of them are leaving, who can stop them? ”
"Of course!" Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Once the pirates are extinguished, not only will the people near the coast be safe, but the sea trade will also rise, and many people will not let go of this opportunity to make a lot of money." ”
However, even if the pirates are exterminated, there will be another one in the future, and the dispute between the north and the south of Japan has not yet calmed down.
