Chapter 1275
When Master Jiang said this, he sighed, and then said: "There are only a dozen Fusang warriors led by Zongshi, and there are no one to stop them in the Yamen of the City Bo Division. He killed the envoys of the Hosokawa clan, and killed the officials of the Yamen of the City Bo Division on the spot, and knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he immediately led people to rush out of the Yamen and went straight to the outside of Ningbo. Thinking that the city of the Yamen is heavily guarded, Dongchang and Jinyi Wei have sent masters to accompany the city of the Yamen Governor and Eunuch Lai. As a result, these masters were vulnerable in front of Zong She, with heavy casualties, and were escaped from the Yamen of the City by Zong Shi and others.
After Zong Shi and others rushed out of the Yamen of the City Bo Division, they fought fiercely in Ningbo City with more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Ningbo Prefect's Yamen who rushed to hear the news, the officers and soldiers of the guards outside the city, and the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Palace. Although the officers and soldiers gathered more and more, and finally more than 3,000 people came, they could not stop Zong Shi and others, and they rushed out of Ningbo City. It stands to reason that no matter how high the martial arts of Zong Shi and the others are, it is absolutely impossible to resist the siege of more than 3,000 officers and soldiers. It is said that there are three main reasons why Soshu was able to lead the Fuso samurai out of the city. One is that the sect is highly skilled in martial arts, and although the number of samurai under his command is small, they can all be ten with one. However, the tolerance of the Ningbo prefect's yamen was fast, and there were also court officers and soldiers who bullied the common people one by one, and confronted the enemy with the powerful Fusang warriors, but they hit the stone with an egg, and they were defeated at the first touch. The second is that Ningbo is extremely prosperous and has many houses. Although the number of officers and soldiers was large, they could not surround and kill Zong Shi and others, and they were led by the nose by the Fuso samurai. ”
Li Qiufeng had heard of the rebellion of the sect when he was on an errand in Jinyiwei, and knew that this matter had shaken the imperial court. At this time, listening to Master Jiang's eloquent conversation, I thought to myself that this Master Jiang is really a great person, although he is only a small official of the Yamen of Dongliao County, he knows a lot about the major events in the world. Listening to him talk about the rebellion of Soshi, he was disdainful of the court officials and the officers and soldiers of the guard, but he was very respectful of the Fuso samurai such as Sose. Thinking that he was also a hot-blooded person, he hated the corruption of officials and the incompetence of officers and soldiers, and it was only in anger that he admired the sect of killing and defeating officers and soldiers so much.
I only heard Master Jiang say: "The third reason is the main reason why a group of Fusang warriors were able to escape from Ningbo Mansion. This person is not only proficient in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war. When he entered the city to attend the banquet at the Yamen of the City Ship, he led his warriors into the city through the east gate of Ningbo City, and the ship he took was moored at the dock outside the east city. Zong Shi calculated that the officers and soldiers would think that he and the Fuso samurai would escape from the east gate with one mind, rush to the dock and turn back to Fusang by boat, and would definitely set up heavy troops to intercept him between the Yamen of the City and the gate of the East City. It was because when he fought fiercely with the masters of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the Yamen of the City Ship, he had already made up his mind to abandon the East Gate, first go out of the city through the North Gate, and then think of seizing the ships and fleeing back to Fusang. Zong's calculation was indeed correct, and the officers and soldiers gathered between the Yamen of the City and the East Gate of Ningbo City, and the rest of the guards were empty. Zong Shi led the Fusang warriors to march north quickly, killed a small group of officers and soldiers, and rushed out of Ningbo City through the north gate.
After the officers and soldiers guarding the east of the city knew that they had been deceived, they hurriedly divided into two routes, all the way north from the city to the north, and followed Zong Shi and others. The first purpose is to closely track the enemy, so as not to lose the traces of Zong Shi and others. The second is to suffer a big loss from Zongshi's voice to attack the west, for fear that he will repeat his old trick again, and lead the Fusang warriors back to Ningbo City. At that time, all the officers and soldiers had gone out of the city to pursue the enemy, and if the Fuso samurai returned again, the consequences would be unimaginable. The commander of the officers and men can be regarded as an outstanding figure who can correct his mistakes when he knows them and make such a steady move. On the other hand, the officers and soldiers were mainly cavalry commanded by Liu Jin, the commander of the Bei Japanese Sect, and marched north from outside the east gate of Ningbo City, to reach Liangshan outside the north gate of Ningbo before Zong Shi and others, intercept these Fusang warriors, and then flank the officers and soldiers who were following the pursuit from the north of the city, and annihilate the Fusang warriors in one fell swoop.
"Liu Jin can be regarded as a smart general, and the reserve army under his command is extremely powerful. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and there were only more than 200 cavalry of the Bei Japanese army that pursued north after Liu Jin left Dongcheng. This group of cavalry came and went, rushing to the foot of Liangshan before Zong Shi and the others. Unexpectedly, although there were few Fusang warriors, they attacked first, and more than a dozen people hugged the sect and desperately killed Liu Jin. The cavalry of the Bei Wa army had not yet been arrayed, and when they were in confusion, they were rushed into the formation by the Fuso samurai, and they were at a loss. It must be known that when cavalry deals with infantry, it must give full play to the impact power of the war horse, and once it is entangled with the infantry, the original advantage will become a disadvantage. Zong Shi held the idea of 'capturing the thief and capturing the king first', and went straight to Liu Jin. Although the officers and soldiers desperately wanted to protect the commander, how could the martial arts of the sect set up be too high, and the dozen or so Fusang warriors tried their best to cover the sect, but although four Fusang warriors died in the hands of the officers and soldiers, the sect set jumped on Liu Jin's horse and took his head. When the garrison saw that the commander had been killed, there was chaos. The Fuso samurai rushed into the ranks of the officers and soldiers, like tigers into the flock, killing fifty or sixty officers and soldiers, and the remaining reserve soldiers were frightened and fled one after another.
Later, Zong Shi led these warriors all the way north, killing many officers and soldiers along the way. Later, even Zhang Bo, who led the troops to pursue the Fusang warriors, died in the hands of Zongshe, and the officers and soldiers were terrified, and they no longer dared to chase and kill, and they fled to Qingzhou, Shandong by Zongshe. Zong Shi and others were besieged by tens of thousands of imperial officers and soldiers in Shandong. Unwilling to give in, these Fuso warriors preferred to die rather than surrender, and finally burned themselves to death in the midst of the siege. Although it is not my race, its heart will be different, but the matter of Ningbo, if it were not for the greed of the admiral eunuch Rain, who accepted bribes from the envoys of the Hosokawa clan and rejected the sect, it would not have caused such a catastrophe. Zong Shi only led a dozen Fuso warriors, and he was able to crisscross several provinces and break through the encirclement and interception of more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, and he was indeed a great figure. After the Zongshi Rebellion last year, the imperial court was furious and disposed of dozens of officials such as the Yamen of the City Bo Division, the Yamen of the Ningbo Prefect, and the Bei Wei Du Division. The eunuch Lai En of the City Bo Division had the secret support of the Governor of Dongchang, and was finally arrested and returned to the capital, which shows that the imperial court was really angry because of this matter.
After this turmoil, the imperial court sent envoys to Fusang to reprimand the minister in charge of Fusang, claiming that Zongshi did not abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and killed and injured the lives of soldiers and civilians. In addition, the imperial court abolished the Yamen of Fujian City, and handed over the affairs of exchanges with overseas countries to the Yamen of Ningbo and Guangdong. Moreover, the imperial court ordered to cut off the trade with Fusang, and the Fusang people were not allowed to re-enter the Central Plains. Some of the Fuso people who were serious businessmen could not land, and they were not willing to let their goods rot in their hands, so they colluded with the Japanese to escort the goods by force and trade with the merchants and common people on the southeast coast. The evil of the Japanese in the southeast coast was already very serious, and as a result, Fujian and other places were even more miserable when they were invaded by the Japanese invaders. ”
When Master Jiang said this, he paused slightly, and then said: "That's all the villain knows, most of them are seen from the newspaper, I think there are a lot of fallacies in it, and I hope the two adults will forgive me." ”
Xiao Dong said with a smile: "I can't imagine that there is such a talent as Mr. Jiang in Dongliao County, admire, admire." When he said this, he turned his head to look at Li Zhisheng, and said, "Master Li, your luck is really good, you have invited a great person like Mr. Jiang to give you advice." ”
Xiao Dong said as he glanced at Master Pan, who was standing on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, with contempt in his eyes. Master Pan looked embarrassed, so he had to force his composure, and a few smiles appeared on his face.
Li Zhisheng heard Xiao Dong praise Master Jiang, and by the way, he also praised himself, but he was quite proud, but he didn't hear the sarcasm in Xiao Dong's words. I saw that his face was full of joy, and he said: "Master Jiang is indeed the right-hand man of the lower officials. This time, Master Xiao's loss of the ship was investigated by Master Jiang and He Zhutou. ”
Master Jiang listened to Xiao Dong's praise, and he was not half happy and proud, his face was as usual, and he said: "Lord Xiao praised it, how fortunate is the villain?
Xiao Dong only said that he set anchor from Ningbo Wharf and went to sea to transport goods to Jinan, Shandong. Encountered wind and waves on the way, the big ship was damaged, and drifted to the sea surface of Dongliao County. Because he brought people ashore to buy wood and look for craftsmen, he left the big ship at the dock, but when he turned back to the dock, the big ship was gone. Originally, I didn't want to alarm the county yamen, but the stakes were very high, and I was not familiar with life here, so I had to go to the yamen to report to the official.
After hearing this, Master Jiang was also shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "How could such a big boat suddenly disappear? If it weren't for Lord Xiao to say it, the villain would have believed that such a strange thing would have happened. ”
