As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Hua Manlou looked at her strangely and said, "Speaking of which... are you my eldest niece? How could that little idiot of my eldest niece understand this? Tell me, where did you hide my eldest niece?"

Qi Wanrong said angrily: "Hey, in the past, my aunt didn't care about some things. It's not that my aunt is stupid, but you, a person who is obviously so smart, just messed up on this matter... Hmph, if I have to marry you, I will marry you." I don't care about you!"

This is the truth. When Qi Wanrong came to her senses when she first met Er Situmu, she performed very well. At that time, Hua Manlou was quite shocked...

"I'm too lazy to care about it? This is a fight for Da Zhao and His Majesty, not for me, and if you lose, maybe you will be unlucky yourself..." Hua Manlou couldn't help but lose his train of thought when he said this : Defeated and captured... What kind of story is this not suitable for children?

After the recent incident with Miss Baimao, how come the memories of certain dramas and games in the previous life have become more and more vivid?

But Qi Wanrong didn't know that his train of thought went astray again, and she retorted: "Then don't think about it, if it wasn't for you, why would my aunt come to fight the Japanese pirates? Look now, I can't help you with other things, you can fight wars, right?" ?”

Hua Manlou shook his head and put some scenes in his mind aside, and then said: "It's as if I'm going to fight in my life, tell you, just this time, do you know?"

While bickering, the two swayed along the side of the ship for a while, and checked the condition of the cannon cabin, and then Shi Shiran returned to the command cabin.

Hua Manlou noticed that the officers and soldiers of the navy, who were also nervous, relaxed a lot when watching the general still have leisure time flirting with his fiancée. From this point of view, Qi Wanrong really played a role?

……

Because it is sailing in the coastal waters, just to be on the safe side, the Tianjin navy will stop at Weihaiwei and Huai'an for supplies. When the fleet arrived in Haizhou (the predecessor of Lianyungang), Huamanlou just received the latest movement of the Japanese pirates near Songjiang.

The person who came to Haizhou to report was Xuanwuwei Huai'an Hundred Households. This person did not dare to breathe in front of Huamanlou: "Uncle, the Japanese pirates landed in the Jiading area ten days ago. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. Zhenhai When Commander Wei and his troops arrived, the Japanese pirates had already left, and in the nearby villages... only a few people survived by hiding when things went wrong.

Bang!

Geng Tian decided to stand up against the case, and cursed angrily: "How dare the thief be so rampant!"

Hua Manlou waved his hands to calm him down, and then asked the hundred households: "So, there is still a possibility that this group of Japanese pirates may be stationed near Songjiang Mansion?"

Baihu said cautiously: "This... this villain doesn't know."

Hua Manlou looked at his cowardly look and said, "Relax, I just want to ask you about the situation, no matter what you know or have any guesses, you may as well talk about it, and it's not your fault if you make a mistake."

The hundred households opened their mouths, and finally said as if they had made up their minds: "Uncle, before... the Japanese pirates attacked our Huai'an mansion before, and some survivors heard from the Japanese pirates that they might be entrenched in Chenshan."

Hua Manlou looked at Mu Wenbin who was standing beside him: "Where is Chen Shan...?"

Mu Wenbin thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The students seem to have never heard of it."

Hua Manlou spread out the map again: "Chenshan, or Chengshan... Are there similar places nearby?"

Mu Wenbin said: "Uncle, if you say that Chenzhuang and Chencun are quite common, but Chenshan has never been heard of. There is an island in the sea east of Songjiang Mansion called Chenqianshan, but again No matter what, you can't mishear Chen Qianshan as Chen Shan, right?"

The hundred households also said awkwardly: "Uncle, originally this matter was to be reported, but I don't know there is such a place, maybe the person heard it wrong, or the Japanese called it differently, so... ..."

Hua Manlou nodded: "Is there any other news besides this?"

"It's gone, little incompetence..."

Geng Tian calmly said: "Uncle, if you can't find it, why don't you go back and forth to search the sea a few times, you will always find it, right?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "Encounter battles... are really not as easy to fight as raids, so I'm more inclined to find their lair and bulldoze them. And judging from the Japanese pirates' behavior, they are bound to do so after this looting." They will spend some days resting on the entrenched island. It is difficult to meet them at sea under such circumstances, so the search is simply a waste of energy and energy. And once they fail to wipe them out and let them run away, the vast sea , where are we going to suppress the Japanese?"

Geng Tianding sighed and sat down.

At this moment, Mu Wenbin suddenly said: "By the way, could it be Chashan?"

"Tea Mountain?"

"Uncle, there is a saying that there are three different tones in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and different tones in ten miles, so the students think, is it possible that they mistakenly heard Chashan as Chenshan?" Mu Wenbin explained: "And uncle also said that Japanese pirates Most of them are fake Japanese, if they are fake Japanese, the place names will generally not be changed randomly..."

Hua Manlou immediately asked, "Where is the tea mountain?"

367. A Real Scholar

There is no tea on the tea mountain.

Let’s call it Chashan, but it’s actually an island 35 miles east of Chongming, with a size of more than [-] mu, also known as Sheshan and Snake Mountain.

This place used to be one of Da Zhao's water villages, even in Huamanlou's previous life, it was also a naval base, and it was known as the first sentry in Shanghai, which shows its importance.

Looking at the small island on the chart, Hua Manlou's blood pressure suddenly became a little high: there is no one guarding such an important place?

The intersection of the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Yangtze River, one of the few small islands east of Chongming, with such an important strategic location, how could it be abandoned as a nest for Japanese pirates?

Although it has not been confirmed that this is the place, it does not prevent Huamanlou from becoming popular, because this island is really unmanned...

"It's just..." Mu Wenbin pointed out the location, and then said: "Uncle, the students vaguely remember that this island has no water source and no vegetation. It is bare, and Japanese pirates may not stay here."

Hua Manlou calmed down a little, and turned to look at the Xuanwu Baihu: "Have you ever heard of Japanese pirates fetching water from land?"

"It's never happened. Most of them only heard that they robbed people and food."

Hua Manlou nodded, and then asked, "Is there enough rain on this island?"

Mu Wenbin said: "The rain is plentiful, and it is precisely because of the plentiful rain that the island has been washed clean, so there is no vegetation. What Uncle means is that these Japanese pirates rely on the sky to stay on this island?"

Hua Manlou pondered: "It doesn't feel realistic. There are more than 400 Japanese pirates. I'm afraid there will be more people in the den. It's a bit nonsense to rely solely on rainwater. However, after this incident, we must find a way to get rid of it." The water village here has been rebuilt, and it must be built even if it is difficult."

Mu Wenbin respectfully said: "What Uncle said is very true. This place is the gateway of Suzhou and Songjiang. It is a pity to abandon it."

Hua Manlou waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about this later. In short, Chashan can be ruled out, but someone still needs to actually check it out, just in case, and also to prepare for the future."

Hua Manlou clearly knew that Pingwa was not just about finishing off the Japanese pirates.

Let’s talk about Hu Zongxian again. It was mentioned before that he only suppressed the Japanese plague, not completely exterminated it. This is because the Warring States Period of the Japanese Kingdom has been going on. There were people from the Japanese country who went to sea; secondly, he only beat the pirates along the coast, and it can even be said that he only pacified the pirates along the coast, so Wang Zhi was killed and the Japanese invaded for ten years.

Huamanlou didn't want to follow his old path, so Pingwo not only wanted to hurt these people, but also established a decent marine defense system, which not only included building a powerful navy, but also building these important ships. A sea base of military significance, only in this way can the Japanese invaders be eliminated.

It's just that the road to Pingwa is difficult. The most irritating thing is that it is obvious that some things are completely wrong, but neither the court nor the local government has done anything, or there is no intention to solve it at all. This...

The more he wanted to spend the whole building, the higher his blood pressure, so after checking again for a while, he got up directly and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it after arriving in Songjiang Mansion. There is nothing to analyze based on this information. The more I analyze, the more I feel fucked."

In this era, it is difficult to obtain information, it is difficult to transmit information, and it is even more difficult to extract information from plausible intelligence. Anyway...

These days, Huamanlou has become popular because of this kind of strange information.

When he was about to go out to check the situation of the supplies, Mu Wenbin suddenly said pleasantly: "Uncle, I know! It's not Chenshan, it's Shengshan!"

Huamanlou paused: "Shengshan?"

Mu Wenbin returned to the table in a hurry, pointed to two small islands that were very close to each other on the chart and said, "Uncle, this place is the Chenqian Mountain that the student mentioned just now, also known as Shengshan Mountain. These two islands are not only shorter than Chashan It is much bigger, and the water source is also considered abundant, and the climate is also considered good, if it is here..."

Hua Manlou said in astonishment, "Shengshan... can it be pronounced as Chen?"

Mu Wenbin smiled wryly and said, "Maybe the surviving person misheard, or maybe the Japanese pirates mispronounced it? Uncle, it's common to mispronounce place names, and the accent in this area is really hard to describe, so... ..."

Hua Manlou understands... or rather, fully agrees with this statement.

Mistaking Li Gui for Li Kui has happened from time to time in the history of writing. Let’s not talk about it. People these days always like to use a word at random—otherwise where do so many false characters come from?

What's more, when the information is underdeveloped, many characters are simply read indiscriminately, so the polyphonic characters are not bad. That's how they came about. This is the hole that the ancestors dug for the student party of later generations. How many people's language is because of this cheating reason How many points were deducted?

No wonder!

"Students' speculation is not only because the island is good for living and has abundant water sources." Mu Wenbin continued to explain: "My uncle mentioned to the students before that the Japanese pirates are not monolithic, and they often conquer each other. Let's see, Uncle, the two islands can hide many sea ships without any difficulty, or they can be stationed in two places. If other Japanese pirates attack, they can defend one island to their death, and then sail out from the other island to destroy them. back road."

Hua Manlou looked at the two trails, squinted his eyes and said, "Well, it makes sense. If I were Japanese pirates, I would definitely choose to station here."

Looking at the surrounding sea charts, Chenqian Mountain is the two easternmost islands of the Shengsi Islands. The target is not as big as Shengsi Island, and the conditions are better than Dayang Mountain and Xiaoyang Mountain. Once Da Zhao really made up his mind to go to sea to eradicate In the case of Japanese pirates, this place is also conducive to evacuation and go to Ryukyu.

In addition, the archipelago is also a natural defense. If you are not familiar with waterways, if you attack here aggressively, you may encounter some hidden reefs or the like—that is to say, this should be the most suitable place for Japanese pirates to gather in the Shengsi Archipelago. out of place.

Thinking of this, Hua Manlou immediately asked Mu Wenbin, "Are you familiar with the waterway here?"

Mu Wenbin said with a serious face: "It's not a stranger. Uncle, if possible, the student please take someone to check it out!"

Hua Manlou was taken aback: "You...go in person?"

Mu Wenbin smiled and said: "The students came here with you not to travel, but to hope that what they have learned can be useful. It is not enough to kill the students in battle, but it is still possible to investigate the students."

After hearing this, Hua Manlou suddenly felt that this guy was a real scholar.

What you have learned can be used, and it can still be said that it can rely on the unity of knowledge and action, but most of the scholars in this era are rote, how many of them can really apply what they have learned like Mu Wenbin?

"Let's talk about it when we get to Songjiang Mansion, but..." Patting him on the shoulder, Hua Manlou said with emotion, "If this is accomplished, it will be your first achievement!"

368. It's Gone and Never Comes Back!

Songjiang Mansion no longer had this administrative unit in Huamanlou's previous life. The original site belonged to a city, and at least billions of people knew about this city—because it was called Shanghai.

And the current Chongming Island is not a rectangle like in Huamanlou's previous life. Chongming only refers to the northernmost island at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

When Hua Manlou was stationed on Chongming Island with a mighty fleet, he suddenly felt a burst of depression in his heart: two months ago, a group of Japanese pirates with hundreds of people killed thousands of guards and scattered them. , After plundering wantonly, he left with supplies Shi Shiran, disgraced Da Zhao, and the whole country was in an uproar.

Although Chongming Island, whose terrain is open and open, is not endless, the field of vision can be called vast. If it is nonsense to say that it can completely avoid the pursuit of Japanese pirates here, then the battle situation that day is obvious: after the Japanese pirates were discovered, Linshanwei Hastily organized manpower to meet the enemy on the tidal flat, so although the Japanese pirates came suddenly, there should be sufficient manpower for defense.

However, after the Japanese pirates braved the rain of arrows and boarded the tidal flat, under the tremendous pressure and fear, the soldiers of Linshanwei collapsed at the touch of a touch, and then some people dropped their weapons and ran away with their heads in their hands.

The commander of Linshanwei shouted loudly, hoping to boost morale and fight to the death without retreating, but cold weapon wars are like this. Once someone on one's own side retreats first, more people will drop their weapons and flee, and finally ushered in a large-scale collapse .

The one behind the formation should be the Xuanwu Guard who did not know which hundred households. After beheading a few soldiers who fled first, they found that the entire team had dispersed, so they could only flee together. After all, they were only here to supervise the battle, not to fight. .

Immediately, the Japanese pirates cut down the commander of the Linshan Guard, who was full of grief and anger, and walked into the camp swaggeringly, ignoring the scattered soldiers...

This is how the war went.

and so……

What happened to the celestial dynasty that offends me even if the strong man is far away?

Looking at the more than 20 new graves on the tidal flat, Hua Manlou suddenly wanted to laugh.

Maybe Linshan Guard didn't lose a single person when it collapsed, even after the collapse, only a few unlucky ones were chased and hacked, and the others huddled in fear, not even the Japanese pirates were in the mood to chase and kill them, they just killed them. All the supplies were moved away, but none of these people dared to stop them.

That's right, the chief officials were all killed in battle, who would dare to come out to die?

Huamanlou had seen a news in his previous life. In the news, a man cried bitterly and was heartbroken. The reason was that his wife was raped at home. The man was not crying because of this, but because he was at home at the time. During the process, I hid in the bathroom and did not dare to come out...

Hua Manlou suddenly felt that the people of Linshanwei were just like this person... maybe not as good as this person, after all he still knew how to regret and cry, but looking at the small group of Linshanwei officers and soldiers still stationed here With that shrunken and numb look, Huamanlou really wasn't in the mood to talk to them. He just glanced at them coldly and said to Mu Wenbin, "You can ask, I'm not feeling well."

It is true that Hua Manlou knew that these people could not be blamed for all the problems, but he just felt extremely uncomfortable.

perhaps……

When Westerners broke through the country and captured the capital in the past, many people were like Linshanwei, right?

Standing on the beach with his hands behind his back, looking to the southwest, Hua Manlou's heart grew more and more angry, and he almost wanted to order on the spot to go straight to Chen Qianshan, which is more than a hundred miles away, to kill all the Japanese pirates who might be entrenched there. .

It was fashionable in the capital and Tianjin, but this anger has become more and more unbearable since arriving in Haizhou, and after seeing the situation in Chashan, he was so angry that he almost ran away.

That's right, Huamanlou went to Dashan on the scout ship first, and there were indeed no Japanese pirates there, and indeed there was only an abandoned water village, but there were dozens of women's corpses by the beach, and the death conditions were so miserable that Huaman The whole floor couldn't bear to take a second look.

Ten or so days ago, they were still at home, they still had family and friends, maybe they still had a happy second half of their lives, and maybe they still wanted to go shopping in Jiading City; ten or so days later, they died tragically on a deserted island. Unburied, every corpse's eyes were wide open.

If it is said that when Hua Manlou set off from the capital, he was just thinking about how to kill a Japanese pirate as soon as possible to cheer up Zhao and then leave the matter to Geng Tiancheng to return to Beijing to get married, then at this time he only wanted Then throw all the Japanese pirates in the southeast into the sea to feed the fish.

Animals should have a place for animals, shouldn't they?

"It's not your fault." When Hua Manlou was trying to suppress his anger, Jiu'er, who had been following behind him, suddenly spoke.

Hua Manlou turned around in astonishment: "What did you say?"

Jiu'er looked at him indifferently: "I don't blame you for what happened in Chashan."

Hua Manlou responded, then turned back to look at Southeast: "Yes, don't blame me, then who is to blame?"

Hua Manlou's question was actually not a question, it was just a subconscious nonsense, but Jiu'er still answered seriously: "Weird."

Hua Manlou sighed, "Really."

So who made the world?Do you dare to come out and fight for three hundred rounds?

Jiu'er continued: "Yes. But you can change the world."

Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing: "Me? What kind of onion am I?"

"Datong has changed." Jiu'er said seriously: "Without you, Datong would be even worse than here, but now there is peace there, so I believe you can change the world."

Hua Manlou looked back at her again, nodded after a long time: "Then I'll try?"

Jiu'er looked directly at Hua Manlou, and said as if swearing: "I will protect you."

This conversation is a bit weird, a man who needs the protection of a cute girl wants to change the world, but that's what it is...

"Uncle." Mu Wenbin came over, interrupting the weird atmosphere between Hua Manlou and Su Jiu'er: "There's nothing to ask, they've been here for the past two months and don't know anything."

It could be seen that Mu Wenbin was also full of anger.

Those dead women were buried by him himself, and they were buried in Chashan, with their graves facing southeast.
