Qing Jialu

Chapter 166 Man Jianghong

At midnight, General Xie took the lead in attacking from the front and fired the first shot.Then, they fought the Japanese pirates at sea.There are many ships on the other side, and the two sides fight each other, stirring up thousands of waves.

Under the cover of General Xie, Wei Mo led a small team to attack from behind in a small boat.Fortunately, the main force of the Japanese pirates was restrained by General Xie. They sneaked into the enemy's rear smoothly, killed the guards, and found Shen Jia and the dying Wei Tongzhi.

"Shen Changqing?" Xiao Yi saw that Shen Jia was tied to the chair, and hurried over to untie him.

"Wei Ming, I knew that you would come." The moment Shen Jia saw Xiao Yi, she finally felt relieved.

"Shen Jia, how are you?" Xiao Yi helped him untie the rope while roughly checking for trauma.Fortunately, there were only a few whip wounds on his chest, not as bad as Wei Hanming.

Shen Jia shook her head, and said weakly: "I...it's okay. Wei...Wei Tong knows that in order to protect me...he will be severely punished."

"Wei Mo will save him, don't worry, don't talk anymore." Xiao Yi said distressedly.

"Okay." Shen Jia fell into Xiao Yi's arms, and finally passed out with peace of mind.

At this time, Wei Mo and his men also untied Wei Hanming's rope.Two people supported him and took him out first.

Xiao Yi bent down to pick up Shen Jia, and returned the same way.

Shen Jia did not participate in the subsequent events.Since he was rescued, he fell into a coma.However, Wei Hanming lost too much blood and had a fever all over his body, so he almost died.Luckily, Miracle Physician Fan was here, who gave first aid all night, stopped the bleeding, bandaged, applied medicine for the two of them, and nourished their bodies with expensive decoctions.

Shen Jia's injuries were not serious, and she woke up after sleeping for two days.Wei Hanming's high fever has subsided, but his injuries are still not healed.

When he just woke up, Shen Jia immediately asked Xiao Yi who was standing by, Wei Tong knew what was going on now.He was relieved when Xiao Yi said that his life was not in danger.

Later, he asked Xiao Yi again: "The person who arrested us was a maritime merchant from Zhejiang, surnamed Zhao. By the way, he also has an aide who has been torturing us."

"The thieves on board are all dead." Xiao Yi wiped the sweat off Shen Jia's brow, "But we got the paper they forced you to sign, and this is the evidence."

Fortunately, Shen Jia didn't sign it, so it can still be used.Otherwise, this evidence would not be able to convict Haishang, but would harm Shen Jia herself.

"Weiming, how did you find me?" Shen Jia wondered, "Also, why did General Wei come here?"

"You're still sick, don't worry about it. In short, all the Japanese pirates who kidnapped you have been wiped out. As for the matter of collaborating with the enemy, you have to go back to Hangzhou to deal with it."

Shen Jia nodded. It seemed that they were going to return to Hangzhou again.

After comforting Shen Jia, Xiao Yi covered him with a quilt and came out of the bedroom.General Xie and General Wei were waiting in the main hall. When they saw His Majesty coming down, they hurriedly got up.

"That Wang Er, is he here?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Wang Er has already landed." General Xie replied, "But he made a request, he must see you."

If Xie Bi hadn't revealed to His Majesty Wang Er that he was also coming, that cunning person might not have been willing to go ashore.

"Okay, you go and arrange a meeting." Xiao Yi agreed.

"The minister obeys the order."

After Xie Bi went down, General Wei raised his objection, "Your Majesty, it's too risky."

"On General Xie's territory, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Yi smiled, "Moreover, only Wang Er knows my identity, and the other bandits don't."

"You asked General Xie to disclose it?"

Xiao Yi nodded, "Otherwise, how can we let this person go ashore?"

"Okay, but I have to follow you." Wei Mo said, "And there will be Jin Yiwei outside, just in case."

"Okay." Xiao Yi agreed.

General Xie arranged for Wang Er to meet His Majesty at the pier not far from the barracks. Wang Er was alone, and His Majesty was accompanied by General Wei and General Xie. The two met on the boat docked by the pier.

Xiao Yi and others arrived first, waiting for Wang Er to come.When Wang Er came in, Xiao Yi was slightly startled. He thought he would be a rude bandit, but he didn't expect to be dressed in Taoist robes and a scribe.

General Xie searched Sou Wanger's body and let him in after seeing that he was not carrying any weapons.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Wang Er understood etiquette and knelt down to salute Xiao Yi.

"Pingshen." Xiao Yi said lightly.

Only then did Wang Er dare to get up, and slightly raised his head to look upwards.But General Xie coughed, dispelling his idea of ​​spying on Long Yan.

It seems that this bandit is still afraid of Tianwei.

"You are credited with rescuing Mr. Shen Ge." Xiao Yi cut to the chase, "I heard that you want to promote the mutual market, so you will pay for your merits?"

"Your Majesty, the villain's family was poor in his early years, so he had no choice but to violate the sea ban. But Your Majesty, the people by the sea are poor, and my brothers all fell into bandits because of no other choice."

"Is being poor enough to break the ban? Is being poor enough to collaborate with the enemy?" Xiao Yi asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, I have never passed the enemy. Moreover, I strictly forbid my subordinates to go ashore to plunder civilians." Wang Er was so frightened that he swore to the sky, "If there are false words, the sky will strike with lightning."

General Xie can testify to this point.He stood up to intercede for Wang Er, "Your Majesty, Wang Er did not do anything harmful to nature. Most of them were fighting among several forces in the sea. Wang Er even suppressed Japanese pirates for the official uniform."

"Forget it, I will save you from death, but you must be sincere." Xiao Yi said lightly, "Go ashore and surrender, are you willing?"

"The villain is willing." Wang Er immediately agreed.General Xie had already told him all of His Majesty's requests before.

"Wang Er, in the sea, besides your power, there is another biggest power, do you know that?" Xiao Yi said again.

"Is Your Majesty talking about the ronin from a distant island?" Wang Er asked.

"Exactly."

Wang Er shook his head, "I don't know them very well, and I don't understand the language. But they are very fierce, and they are all desperadoes who fled to sea during the war over there."

"I know." Xiao Yi said inscrutablely, "Xie Bi, take him down."

After the two left, Xiao Yi and Wei Mo got off the boat.Looking at the mysterious and vast sea in the distance, Xiao Yi said calmly: "There are too many hidden risks in this sea area, even greater than the threat from the northwest. We must strengthen coastal defense."

During the period of Emperor Hongwu, Daliang paid too much attention to Xiou, and devoted himself to the northwest battlefield.However, the situation in the southeast coast is unpredictable now that Western Ou is weak.

"I want to build a navy in Tianjin Wei and build warships." Xiao Yi sighed, "It's just the cost..."

"Your Majesty, you can reduce the military expenses of Shenji Battalion and Northwest." Wei Mo offered.

"Xiou also has to guard against it." Xiao Yi said with a headache, "The southeast side will open the sea market first, and Wang Er will lead a large number of people to surrender. It should be able to maintain peace for a few years. As for my Daliang Navy, it will take ten years and 20 years. Years, it will definitely succeed."

Wei Mo too understands the manpower, material resources, and time it takes to build a strong army.He and Xiao Yi looked at the sea together, only hoping that the future would be as calm as the current sea.
