Ji Heng has a small number of people, only 2000 people, and some of these 2000 people are ordinary militiamen, and some are soldiers and craftsmen from firearms factories and shipyards. Ji Heng values ​​craftsmen very much, so he will not let them fight easily And in the face of the fierce pirates who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil, these people really can't gain the upper hand.

So Ji Heng just wanted to defend the city, and waited for Zhao Jun to come back to help and encircle and wipe out the pirates.

The smell of gunpowder smoke from the shells and gunpowder diffused. Facing the bombardment of the Japanese pirates, the officers and soldiers on the city wall did not panic, and began to fight back in an orderly manner.

Fran cannons and trebuchets were also set up on the city tower. After Ji Heng went to the southeast, he was incapable of leading troops to fight. As the governor, he gave guidance on strategy and tactics, and made great achievements in the introduction and manufacture of firearms. vigorously.

He attaches great importance to and even relies on firearms, so as soon as he went to the southeast, he asked people to find a lot of ways. He tried his best to buy a few Fran cannons from the Fran robots, and then bought a batch of Fran robots. However, the firecrackers of the Franji people were not as advanced and effective as the Japanese firecrackers, so he captured more than a dozen Japanese craftsmen later, and he valued them so much.

Although Ji Heng intends to quickly imitate his own artillery, but due to the short time, the progress is not fast, and the imitation and improved artillery are still in the experimental stage and have not been put into use.Some firecrackers were made, but due to the limited number of craftsmen, only a few hundred pieces were produced.

Ji Heng believed in overwhelming force.

Therefore, the soldiers were not allowed to go out of the city gate to fight the pirates hand-to-hand, thinking that there was no chance of winning, but just used the few Fran cannons bought from the Fran robots to fight the pirates, because they occupied the geographical advantage, so there was Advantageous.

Just because the number of artillery doors is too small, combined with the use of trebuchets to throw stones, Ji Heng still feels that the firepower is insufficient.

The city wall of Yuhang was strong, even if the pirates bombarded the city wall with artillery, the city wall would not be easily bombed down, and the artillery of the pirates was also bombed twice by the artillery on the tower, which weakened the firepower of the pirates.

After more than an hour, the pirates' attack stopped for a while, and Ji Heng also made him stop using the Fran cannon for fear of exploding the chamber.

All the civilian households around the city gate and the city wall were evacuated, and no non-combatants were allowed to approach the city gate, fearing that spies would approach the city gate and open the city gate from the inside.

Ji Heng was supervising the battle on the tower, his face covered with smoke and dust, and Bian Wu, as the head of his guards, watched the pirates stop for a while, and said to Ji Heng, "My lord, give this place to General Wu, You go down to the tower."

After seeing the enemy's situation, Ji Heng called Wu Xiao to discuss it. He was worried that the pirates would break through from another gate, so he decided to patrol the city first.

As soon as he walked out of the tower, he heard a boom from the tower behind him. Bian Wu hurriedly protected Ji Heng. Ji Heng turned his head to look, and saw that the tower was partially collapsed, which happened to be where Ji Heng was just now.

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party might have observed his location with a telescope, the pause just now must have been intentional, he just didn't expect the other party to have such accurate artillery, and it directly blasted to where he was.

Ji Heng didn't feel any fear either. After getting off the city wall, he had to ride a horse to see the firearms factory and shipyard.

Before Ji Heng got on his horse, he suddenly froze for a moment, and told Gou Chengxing, a thousand households guarding the city, to pass the news immediately. Gou Chengxing was leading troops to support the north of the city. He rode a fast horse to Ji Heng, and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"

Ji Heng said, "I'm afraid there are pirates and spies in this city. It will be dark soon. You assign some people to guard the firearms factory and shipyard. I'm afraid that some spies will set fire to the city and cooperate with pirates outside the city."

After such instructions, Ji Heng returned to the Governor's Mansion and asked the prefect of Yuhang to arrange for the patrol team organized before to conduct a close patrol of the city at night.

Yuhang is a place of prosperity. Although it is not as prosperous as Yangzhou, Suzhou, but with the establishment of firearms factories and shipyards here, the population here has skyrocketed. Compared with Yangzhou, Suzhou, it is not far behind.

There are many rich households in the city, and almost every family has a nursing home. Ji Heng asked the magistrate to let each household produce a young man, and organized some young people with aspirations in the city to form patrol teams and supply teams to supplement the guards in the city. lack of army.

The magistrate went to take orders, and Ji Heng was so busy that he felt dizzy for a while. After that, he ate something and went to the city wall to check the situation. Kou broke through and entered the city.

As night fell, the siege of the pirates outside the city really slowed down. Ji Heng was too exhausted, but it was useless for Bian Wu to persuade him to rest for a while, so he had to send someone to invite Imperial Physician Weng to come.

When Ji Heng left Beijing, the emperor not only sent dead soldiers with high martial arts skills such as Bian Wu to follow Ji Heng, but also sent Weng Zisu and Imperial Physician Weng to look after Gu Jiheng.

It's just that Imperial Physician Weng followed Ji Heng down to the southeast, and was immediately taken over by Ji Heng as a military doctor. He even brought many apprentices with him, and he was very busy every day.

Although his original job was to specialize in trauma, but later he obviously specialized in gynecology, but he didn't expect to turn to trauma treatment now.

Doctor Weng was looking after the wounded soldiers on the edge of the frontline city wall, when he was called to comfort Ji Heng, his face was dusty and his hands were bloody, he ran to Ji Heng and said, "My lord, why are you looking for this officer? "

Ji Heng was looking at the situation outside the city with binoculars on the city wall. Hearing his words, he couldn't help being taken aback, "Mr. Weng? I didn't look for you."

Bian Wu sighed inwardly, winked at Imperial Physician Weng, and then said, "I'm humbled to see that Mr. Ji is not in good spirits, should he take a rest for an hour or two?"

Only then did Weng Zisu understand that he was just called over, and he didn't even know that he was here to be a lobbyist. Weng Zisu looked at Ji Heng's face, grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse, and said to Ji Heng, "My lord, go and rest for a while. Your body is no better than others. Didn't Japanese pirates besiege Wenzhou for three days before? If it's three days this time, it's not a problem if you don't rest like this."

Ji Heng said, "This time the thieves will not be able to siege here for three days, the decisive battle will be tonight. In Yuhang, there is a huge flow of people, and I am afraid that many spies will be mixed into the city. If there is chaos in the city, then there will be people." Before returning to aid, I am afraid that the city will be lost. Don’t worry, I’m fine, just make it through tonight.”

Imperial Physician Weng didn't want to persuade, but just took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed the bottle to Ji Heng, "Sir, here are some Baoxin Pills, which are best for refreshing yourself, take it and eat."

After speaking, he bid farewell to Ji Heng, and ran to continue to check on the wounded soldiers.

Ji Heng is really impressed by Weng Taiyi, a popular imperial doctor who was in front of the emperor, came here to be a military doctor, joined a group of warriors, faced bloody wounded, and did not have any complaints, it can be seen that Weng Taiyi not only really saved lives , and firm in heart.

Ji Heng has been sitting in the south of the city, where the enemy is mainly attacking.

Because at night, the night provides cover, and the bandits may climb up the city wall from other places, so the patrols on the city wall are tighter and tighter.

At midnight, a fire suddenly broke out in the west of the city, which was in the direction of the shipyard. Gou Chengxing's messenger soldiers came to report to Ji Heng, "Master Futai, the Second Shipyard of the West City Shipyard was set on fire by spies. Fighting the fire, out of ten spies, eight were killed, and two escaped."

Ji Heng hurriedly sent people to check the situation and added dozens of soldiers to the firearms factory. He was afraid that there would be spies in the firearms factory, and it would be troublesome if the gunpowder depot in the city was bombed.

Bian Wu only wanted to protect Ji Heng's personal safety, and was dissatisfied that Ji Heng sent all the soldiers around him away, but Ji Heng ignored him because he always nagged like a woman.

Just when Ji Heng was in a hurry in the city, good news came from outside the city. Sure enough, Zhao Zhili's army had returned to aid. Zhao Zhili had three thousand soldiers under his command, and they were all very good at fighting. Kou was caught off guard, and the pressure in the city suddenly eased.

While ordering the city to step up patrolling, Ji Heng ordered [-] soldiers to go out of the city to attack the pirates inside and outside.

The Haikou didn't expect Zhao's army to return to aid so quickly, and they were defeated by the bravery of Zhao's army, so they retreated directly and wanted to leave from the Qiantang River. journey.

The pirates fought and fled, resulting in countless casualties. In the end, only one ship escaped to sea.

Ji Heng knew that he was not good at fighting, so he did not chase out of the city, but continued to sit in the city. However, because of the fire in the west of the city, he was worried that there would be a problem with the firearms factory, so he went to check it himself, accidentally fell and put the A cut was made on his forehead, and his face was bleeding.

Ji Heng was a bit aggrieved by the injury, he was too embarrassed to say it, and because of bleeding a lot, his head became dizzy afterwards, and he passed out. Bian Wu and others were not under Ji Heng's command, but followed around to protect him Safety, now that Ji Heng fell and fainted again, Bian Wu brought him to settle down nearby. First he treated the wound hastily by himself, and then asked someone to find Imperial Physician Weng to deal with it. Although Ji Heng did not regard himself as However, Bian Wu knew very well that his face was very important as a person around the emperor, so he asked Imperial Doctor Weng to re-treat the wound for him, fearing that it would leave a scar in the future.

Ji Heng's dizziness was not just a dizziness, he fell asleep immediately after fainting. He fell because of lack of energy, so he couldn't wake up for a while after falling asleep. When he really woke up, it was already October [-]th.

As the vanguard, Zhao Zhili had defeated the pirates and killed thousands of them. Master Wang personally supervised the battle, and after that he burned and sunk more than a dozen enemy ships, and hundreds of pirates were killed. He also killed hundreds of pirates, and then boarded a warship to go to sea, chasing and beating the pirates who entered the sea.

This battle in Yuhang was a great victory for the imperial court.

It's just that the Japanese pirates fled northward from Suzhou. Because Zhao Zhili's department returned to aid Yuhang, and Ouyang Fan's siege was unfavorable, the Japanese pirates broke into Jiangyin, and the magistrate of Jiangyin died in battle. So he personally led the troops there, and sent Zhao Zhili's department to outflank the right wing, and together they attacked the Japanese pirates and defeated the Japanese pirates at Caijingba. The Japanese pirates fled directly to Yangzhou, Zhenjiang. Because a large number of old and weak women and children were captured in Xinghua as hostages, and the hostages were used as shields, the officers and soldiers pursued them all the way, but they did not dare to go too far. Most of the hostages captured by Japanese pirates were members of the Ji clan. Now the Ji clan is in the court. The power is great, and Ji Heng is the most favored minister in front of the emperor, so the officers and soldiers are constrained by the hostages, so they have to let him go to sea.

When Ji Heng learned of the situation, he was in Suzhou City. Although Suzhou City was not captured by Japanese pirates, it suffered heavy damage and the city walls were also damaged. Ji Heng went to inspect.

Mr. Wang felt that it was his duty to explain to Ji Heng that members of the Ji clan were taken away by Japanese pirates, so he had no choice but to send someone to send a letter to Ji Heng, saying that the members of the Ji clan were taken away by Japanese pirates.

Ji Heng read the letter and was stunned on the spot.
