Ji Heng planned to use Xu Qilang's men and Fu Yang's personal guards to rescue the captured members of the Ji clan, while Jiang Shize's navy and Wang Bingzhi's troops went to encircle and suppress Wang Qi.

Jiang Shize rushed to Yuhang, went to the governor's mansion with Ji Heng, and discussed with Wang Bingzhi about the use of troops.

Wang Bingzhi was not proficient in water warfare, so he always tended to conservative land warfare. This was the first time that the imperial court took the initiative to send troops to encircle and suppress sea bandits.

Wang Bingzhi did not agree with this, repeatedly emphasizing that the naval force is insufficient, probably not enough to destroy Wang Qi, the most powerful pirate force at sea.

Jiang Shize was more than forty years old before he became stable. He is an adventurous person by nature, otherwise he would not have gone out to sea with hundreds of people to chase pirates during the Battle of Taizhou, and won the battle afterwards, so he just He said directly, "Your officer has [-] sailors before, and this year he has trained [-] more. They are all elite soldiers. Some time ago, they cruised the sea and encountered several bandits. They all achieved results. There is absolutely no problem in attacking Wang Qi's forces in Zhoushan this time."

Ji Heng also said, "The typhoon happened to pass by Zhoushan, and the Zhoushan camp was bound to be affected. The strength of Wang Qi's troops in Zhoushan would definitely be affected. We attacked while the typhoon stopped, and caught him off guard. Such a good time, I can't find it anymore."

Jiang Shize was Ji Heng's complete supporter, and he echoed, "That's right. Mr. Wang, if you lose this opportunity, you won't have it in the future."

Wang Bingzhi had no way to control Ji Heng, so he had no choice but to agree.

Although Wang Bingzhi did not approve of this action in his heart, since he had made a plan, he did not hold back and began to actively prepare.

After a day of discussion, the encirclement and suppression plan was finally decided, and Jiang Shize left Yuhang to start making arrangements, and Wang Bingzhi also started to make arrangements.

Because this plan is set as a secret, except for a few core personnel, even the generals at the general level do not know about this plan, and they will keep it so strictly secret, but it is caused by the defection of Qianhu in Jinhua before, and there is During the Battle of Yuhang, Ji Heng was on the city tower and was attacked by enemy artillery. It can be seen that the other party had Ji Heng's portrait, but at that time Ji Heng saw few people, most of them were high-ranking generals, he could be recognized by the enemy, and it was very easy It is most likely that someone was a spy. Besides, there were also spies in the shipyard and firearms factory at that time, so the subsequent battle plans would not be made public in advance.

The typhoon stopped after five days. Due to the government's policy of banning the sea, all the coastal people moved inland. This time the typhoon did not directly hit the inland, but only affected the inland, so the inland did not suffer a major disaster.

The battle plan has been made, and Zhao Zhili came to Ji Heng's residence on the eve of departure, and Ji Heng entertained him for dinner. After the meal, in Ji Heng's study, Zhao Zhili said to him, "The plan has been made, I don't think you need to go to tomorrow. State wardens, that's too dangerous."

After hearing this, Ji Heng said, "There are no soldiers to kill the enemy in front, but the warlord is sitting in the rear."

Zhao Zhili still disagreed, saying, "Mingzhou is too close to Zhoushan. Zhoushan not only has the power of Wang Qi, but also Franji people, so that the forces in Mingzhou city are also intricate. At first, I listened to the court, and more to see the faces of the pirates and Franji people. This is also the reason why the pirates plundered everywhere, but rarely moved Mingzhou City. During the Chinese New Year, there were pirates landing in Mingzhou. I went to Hurry up and come back soon because the pirates came ashore secretly to buy things, not to plunder Mingzhou. I mentioned it to you last time, so you must not have forgotten it."

Ji Heng nodded and said, "That's why I should go to Mingzhou. I know a little bit about the situation in Mingzhou, but you probably don't know as well. This time the Japanese pirates in Zhoushan area have been wiped out, and Mingzhou needs to be cleaned up." officialdom."

Zhao Zhili said, "Unless we send very strong guards there, it will be very difficult to manage Mingzhou."

Ji Heng said directly, "I have thought about this issue a long time ago, and I have already reported it to the emperor. This time, Zhoushan was swept away, so Jiang Shize moved the Jiangsu and Zhejiang navy to Mingzhou, and his general government office also moved to Mingzhou." Mingzhou, if Jiang Shize is stationed directly in Mingzhou, this matter can be resolved."

Zhao Zhili looked at Ji Heng, thought for a while, then smiled, and said, "It seems to be my humble opinion, this is a good way."

In mid-May, the imperial court used troops against Zhoushan to wipe out the pirates around Zhoushan.

Ji Heng personally went to Mingzhou to oversee the army. Fu Yang was not happy about being sent by him to rescue the proton of the Ji clan at first. His duty was to protect Ji Heng's safety. Other than that, other things were secondary .

Fu Yang, like Imperial Physician Weng, can see clearly that the reason why the current emperor is a wise emperor is because he is calm enough, and the only thing he is not calm about is Ji Heng. If something happens to Ji Heng, will the emperor be able to It's really hard to say when you become confused.

So for Yang, Ji Heng's safety is more important than anything else.

The destruction of tens of thousands of soldiers is not as important as a good general, and for Fu Yang, the destruction of the entire army and navy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not as important as Ji Heng.

But Ji Heng solemnly entrusted the safety of his people to his hands, and when Fu Yang met Ji Heng's eyes as dark as the night sky, he did not refuse, but agreed.

But even so, Fu Yang still arranged more than 50 people to guard Ji Heng. In addition to the four dead men around Ji Heng, he felt that as long as there were no bandits who knew where Ji Heng was and sent the main force to attack Ji Heng, Ji Heng would not be able to attack him. Something should happen.

Xu Qilang arrived at Zhushan Island with food, intending to support it. Hu Hu, Wang Qi’s subordinate, stayed behind on Zhushan Island. Hu Hu and Xu Qilang once had a relationship. Xu Qilang said that he knew that Zhoushan was hit by a typhoon, and he wanted to go to Shuangyu Island had something to do with Franji, so he stopped by and brought some food for him to rest here. Hu Hu saw that he had few people with him and there was no threat, so he didn't think much about it and let him go ashore .

Now the entire Wang Qi Group is slack, because Wang Qi has already handed over an olive branch of surrender to the imperial court, and the imperial court also responded, intending to recruit Wang Qi, so Wang Qi's subordinates are all waiting for the imperial court to give a reply. From pirates to imperial navy.

Zhushan Island is not a big island. There is a water village owned by Wang Qi. At first, this water village was just an intermediate stronghold for Wang Qi. Development, because Wang Qi used this place to do business with Franji.

Since the Franji people occupied Shuangyu Island near Zhoushan, they have not conflicted with the imperial court. While bribing Mingzhou officials and soldiers, they have been doing business with smuggled pirates. They have grown very strong. , and the emperor had always been young before, and he was suspicious of the young country, so he couldn't control the behavior of the Franji people at all.

Ji Heng doesn't want to confront Frangji right now, so he has sent He Daoming, a Qing guest beside him, to bring his own letter to Frangji, saying that the use of troops against Wang Qi this time is The imperial court wanted to solve Wang Qi's troubles, but it didn't mean to deal with the Frangji people. It also said that as long as these pirates were suppressed, the imperial court would open the Mingzhou Shipping Department again, and then the Frangji people would be free to do business with merchants. This does not affect the interests of the Franji people, and if the Frangji people do not cooperate with the imperial court, but instead support the pirates, then the imperial court will not turn a blind eye to the Frangji people's aggression.

Because Zhushan Island was too small and was hit by a typhoon, it had almost no strength. Wang Qi was not on Zhushan Island. The typhoon hit Zhoushan Institute. I was so busy that I didn't care about coming to Zhushan Island for a while.

Xu Qilang went to Zhushan Island and paralyzed Hu Hu. He indeed rested on Zhushan Island that night. After investigating and finding out where the members of the Ji clan were imprisoned, it was still dark the next morning when everyone slept well. At that time, he summoned his men, only about thirty people, some of them went to rescue the members of the Ji clan, some of them went to the lighthouse, killed the guards on the lighthouse, and lit the big lamp on the lighthouse. Suddenly, everyone who had been hiding in the cabin of Xu Qilang's merchant ship went ashore.

Hu Hu noticed something was wrong, and when he put on his clothes and came out to check the situation, he met Xu Qilang and brought someone over. Before Hu Hu had time to ask about the situation, he was wiped on his neck after barely resisting it twice. Since then, there has been chaos on Zhushan Island .

Xu Qilang originally brought more than [-] people ashore, and there were more than [-] people hiding in the cabin, so there were about [-] people. In addition to everyone's bravery, it is naturally a great force.

Soon, Fu Yang's people also arrived by boat. As the commander of the capital, Fu Yang also followed Ji Heng's request after arriving in Yuhang to practice not only the land combat capabilities of his subordinates, but also their water combat capabilities. After many people landed, some went to help Xu Qilang, some stayed at the port, and set fire to Haizhai and pirate ships. The fire ignited, almost mixing with the brilliant sunrise.

The arrival of Fu Yang immediately relieved Xu Qilang's pressure a lot, and almost killed all Hu Hu's subordinates. Most of the pirates who wanted to escape were drowned, or died in the fire of Feng Yuwei. under the gun.

According to Ji Liuli, there are about 15 women and about [-] or [-] children on Zhushan Island. The others are either not here, or they are dead.

Xu Qilang had a beard on his face, even though Fu Yang had met Xu Qilang once before, he couldn't recognize him now, he only knew that he was arranged by Ji Heng.

Xu Qilang handed over the members of the Ji clan to Fu Yang, and he took them away first. Fu Yang thought he had other tasks, so he didn't stop him, but stayed to do the aftermath by himself.

As the fire on Zhushan Island ignited, the court navy also began to attack other pirate water villages on Zhoushan. For a while, even if they were far away, they could still hear the sound of shouts and gunfire.

This Zhoushan battle was Jiang Shize's first battle as the commander of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang naval forces. Naturally, he had to perform well, so he sold his strength. The navy was short of manpower, so he brought the army to land and dispatched other troops. Several sailors from the sea village of the guard station encircled and suppressed the bandits who escaped to the sea, and the battle of Zhoushan lasted for a whole day.

The most important bases of the pirates in Zhoushan were captured in one day by taking advantage of the passing of the typhoon. The fortifications of the pirates on the island were destroyed by the typhoon, and they were not completed in a short period of time. Jiang Shize's navy.

Although there were still thieves who fled away afterwards, very few escaped. Jiang Shize was unwilling to let these people go, and it was true that Wang Qi and the third son of King Wu, Yang Qinzhi, were not found, so Jiang Shize sent his officers to bring enough water and water. Food goes after it.

Ji Heng sits in Mingzhou City, and since Mingzhou City is the closest to Zhoushan, he will be able to get good news soon.

The imperial navy is still attacking Zhoushan. Although Ji Heng is calm and calm on the surface, he is actually nervous in his heart. First, he does not know what is going on with Xu Qilang, and second, he does not know whether the outcome of this battle is really as he expected. good.

Sitting in the government office of Mingzhou, Ji Heng came in from the outside holding a piano, and whispered something in Ji Heng's ear. Ji Heng relaxed a little, and then nodded.

He then ordered the generals Qi Ao and Xie Chaofeng who came to support to block the gate of Mingzhou City. Qi Ao and Xie Chaofeng brought 6000 people, which was enough to control Mingzhou City. After Mingzhou City was controlled, Ji Heng let them be arrested A group of officials, big and small.

Ji Heng's tactics were thunderous, and none of the officials in Mingzhou City realized that Ji Heng came to clean up Mingzhou City. Even Qi Ao and Xie Chaofeng didn't know what their mission was.

In front of all the arrested officials of Mingzhou City, especially the military officers, Ji Heng showed the Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor, and said, "Officials in Mingzhou City have colluded with the Zhoushan pirates, and they have failed the emperor's favor and failed to do so." The common people are committing heinous crimes, Shang Fang’s sword is here, cut first and play later, kill without forgiveness.”

All the officials shouted that they were wronged, and Ji Heng didn't care if they were wronged or not. He had already found out that those who had been connected with the Japanese pirates and Francois were serious, and they were military officers, so he killed them directly. The others were temporarily imprisoned. .

The courtyard of the Mingzhou government office was immediately stained red with blood. After the typhoon passed through, the sky was as clear as a mirror, blue and boundless, with only a few snow-white clouds slowly drifting past.

After Zhao Zhili, who was sticking to the coastline, returned with some soldiers and horses, Ji Heng handed over Mingzhou City to him, saying that he had something to go out of the city, Zhao Zhili didn't think much about it, and Ji Heng took only a dozen people out of the city.

When the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate saw Ji Heng leaving the city with the governor's badge, they naturally did not dare to stop him and let him go.

Ji Heng went all the way to the outside of the city. At this time, the entire coastal area of ​​Mingzhou was under martial law by the officers and soldiers, but Ji Heng's status as governor naturally made his journey unimpeded.

When he saw Xu Qilang, Xu Qilang was sitting in the cabin wrapping his wounds.

The author has something to say: Prince's Growth Record 2

Ji Heng personally carved a set of animal dolls of the twelve zodiac signs for His Royal Highness. They were carved out of wood, not any good wood, just ordinary peach wood. Although Ji Heng is good at painting, he is not good at carving. , so the twelve zodiac signs are just so-so, and they should not be written by everyone.

When Ji Heng sent the twelve zodiac signs, he did not say that he carved them himself, but when the emperor saw that such a bad doll Ji Heng was also sent to Beijing, he immediately understood that Ji Heng carved it himself. The son's love, the emperor regarded it as a treasure, and hurriedly took it for his son to play with.

His Royal Highness is one year and four months old, he is full of curiosity about the world, and anything can attract his attention, especially this colorfully painted doll.

The emperor sat with his son to play with him, placed the dolls on the mattress in the order of the twelve zodiac signs, pointed to the mouse and said, "Rat, mouse."

His Royal Highness looked up at his father, raised his hand to pick up the most beautifully painted rooster, and shouted loudly, "Chicken."

The emperor still pointed to the mouse and said, "Rat."

His Royal Highness brought the chicken to the emperor, "Daddy, chicken, chicken."

The emperor had no choice but to take the chicken and said, "Okay, Daddy knows it's a chicken. But this one, it's a rat, rat, my dear son, say, it's a rat."

His Highness the Crown Prince pouted, picked up the mouse, and then crawled up from the mattress with his buttocks pouted, ran to the door, and threw the mouse out.
