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

Needless to say, the consequences of the turmoil in the guard house, the squires who control the public opinion can also encourage the people to rise up, and these people will all say that he was the one who forced the rebellion, so will Uncle Hua still have a way out?

So Hua Manlou broke out in a sudden sweat: "Damn it! I should have thought of it earlier! There is no bottom line in this doggy day..."

Just when Huamanlou was in a hurry to send a scout ship to patrol along the coast of Ningbo, Geng Tiancheng's distraught voice sounded from the outside: "Uncle! Something is not right!"

Hua Manlou's heart sank: "Come in and talk!"

Geng Tiancheng pushed the door into the room, and said in a hurry: "I just received the news that a large number of Japanese pirates have landed from the Xiangshan area, and went to the inland via Tashan. Fenghua is in a hurry!"

Hua Manlou trembled with anger: "Yin Bowen, you should be killed!"

398. Little things

In fact, Yin Bowen had already started planning when Huamanlou was still in Suzhou.

Hua Manlou guessed it right. Both the assassination of him and Nie Wenbing were done to deceive people on the surface. The purpose was to divert Hua Manlou's attention and appease his comrades. However, Yin Bowen's real killing move was to release the Japanese pirates. Enter Ningbo.

Besides, the reason Yin Bowen used to encourage Japanese pirates was the navy threat theory. After all, Qian Dapeng was defeated too quickly—you know, Qian Dapeng’s men even went to Chongming Island before, but just such a pursuit The ruthless horns killed by the officers and soldiers were taken away by Huamanlou, so is it difficult to advocate the threat of the navy?

Moreover, the attack on the day of the Fengfeng Banquet is another example. When dozens of Japanese pirate ships attacked Cen Gang, they lost five ships without even touching the fur of the navy, and they were chased and beaten by the third squadron of the non-main fleet— This 'Japanese pirates' is Yin Bowen's personal armed forces and the mixed fleet of Japanese pirates he has won over, and he originally wanted to have a fake defeat that day, but he didn't expect to be beaten to nothing...

In short, with these two battles, who would dare not take the Tianjin navy seriously?

Therefore, under Yin Bowen's efforts, the Japanese pirates in the southeast area gathered together near Changguowei, where the door was wide open, and collectively killed them ashore.

I have to say that Yin Bowen can not only pull out all the famous people in Ningbo Mansion to join a group for smuggling, but also use tricks to make most of the Japanese pirates in the southeast join a group and kill them ashore.

In short, no matter how Huamanlou wins or loses, anyway, he has a lot of time to transfer, and he has even chosen the location, which is in Hirado—yes, Yin Bowen had an affair with one of the three Japanese, and he himself Wei Xingchen of Huiwang.

As for what will happen to the officials and squires of Ningbo Mansion...

Yin Fuzun himself ran away, who cares about them?

Of course, on the surface, Yin Bowen would not say that. He just told his comrades swearingly: "There are no less than 5000 people ashore, but the Tianjin Navy only has [-] people. How much combat power do you have? Huamanlou will definitely die!"

Most of the people were excited, but there were still a small number of people worried: "My lord, if the Japanese pirates still don't retreat after Huamanlou's defeat, what should we do?"

"No problem!" Yin Bowen vowed: "The purpose of the Japanese pirates this time is to lure Huamanlou ashore and kill him. After his death, the Japanese pirates will retreat. I know that what you are worried about is the losses caused by the Japanese pirates this time. If Huamanlou doesn't die, we will be the ones who die! Compared to this loss, it's just an extra trip, and I can afford it!"

The biggest asset of the country gentry is the land, and the real estate is also in the city, and it is generally difficult for the Japanese pirates to attack the city, so they only need to hide their families in the city.

So there is nothing wrong with Yin Bowen's words.

"But what if Huamanlou wins?" A squire said with lingering fear, "The cannon..."

"He can't win!" Yin Bowen said with a sinister face: "The enemy is more than six times more difficult to fight, so what if I create some troubles for him? I will write a memorial today to impeach Huamanlou for not doing enough to suppress the Japanese. Everyone Jointly signed a letter with me, confirming that he has been doing nothing since he arrived in Ningbo Mansion, so even if His Majesty still trusts him, what will happen to the court?"

"Fu Zun is wise! In this way, he has to wait until he is defeated, and he has already been recalled by the court!"

"It makes sense, but once Huamanlou is not in Ningbo, who will take care of our affairs then?"

For a moment, everyone seemed relieved, and the gloom of recent days was swept away—the worst case is just a loss of a little money, how can everyone not feel at ease?

……

"Has Song Jie not come back yet?"

This was the first question Hua Manlou asked after arriving at Cen Port.

It was He Qing who was guarding here, and immediately said, "Not yet, Miss Su hasn't come back either."

Hua Manlou frowned, extremely unwilling - someone had come back and reported that Song Jie had rescued Nie Bingwen, but the old Nie Butang couldn't go on his way, and he was also suffering from the cold, so...

Geng Tianding persuaded: "Uncle, for the current plan, we should put Pingwa first, and it is not so important to take Yin Bowen, so..."

Hua Manlou gritted his teeth and said, "The Japanese pirates landed from the Xiangshan area, but Xiangshan is the defense area of ​​Chang Guowei, but now it is Fenghua County that sent back the news. Do you know what this means?"

"This..." Geng Tianding couldn't help being speechless.

"Yin Bowen suppressed the guards for his own life so that he completely ignored the Japanese pirates who came ashore!" Hua Manlou patted the map on the table, and roared: "More than 3 Japanese pirates have come ashore, and the people around Tashan have been devastated. How can I let him go?"

He Qing said dryly: "But Nie Butang has not arrived yet, and the timing now..."

"I know!" Hua Manlou closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down: "I also know that Pingwa is the top priority, but if this bureaucrat is not eliminated, who knows what he will do! What's more, if I If the estimate is correct, he will definitely take advantage of the occasion of Pingwo to prepare secretly, and then flee to the sea at the right time. At that time, it will be extremely difficult to catch him! How can I tolerate him after he has made such a big crime? alive?"

Geng Tianding hesitated and asked: "Then Mr. Qian means..."

Hua Manlou took a deep breath: "Take my seal and order the Suzhou navy to set off as soon as possible and rush to Ningbo to wait for orders. The Shaoxing guards will set off immediately and set up defenses around Dalan Mountain to prevent Japanese pirates from entering Shaoxing from here." The two guards of Haimen and Songmen immediately went northward, setting up defenses at Tianmen Mountain and Simen Mountain respectively, blocking the way for the Japanese pirates to go to Jinhua and Taizhou..."

Geng Tianding was stunned at first when he heard the words, and then stunned again.

I was stunned: Aren't you talking about Yin Bowen?Why did you suddenly talk about the anti-Japanese war?

He was stunned: "Uncle, only block the road around Wei's place? But...there are more than [-] Japanese pirates, just relying on us..."

Hua Manlou waved his hands and said, "The Japanese pirates don't have a team of more than [-]. After leaving the Tashan area, they will be divided into more than a dozen gangs. It is not difficult to beat them, as long as the guards don't come to cause trouble for me!"

This is true, after all, it has been analyzed clearly before, that is, the main combat power of the three major Japanese is not [-], not to mention the pirate gangs in the southeast?

Therefore, Hua Manlou was sure that this group of people must have no subordinates, just like a certain eighteenth prince, who seemed to be powerful, but in fact there was nothing to fear, just do a good job in reconnaissance missions.

"Today I'll set off and go to Xiangshan Port." Hua Manlou narrowed his eyes: "Besides, Brother Geng help me find some reliable people, I want them to handle things..."

Geng Tianding was taken aback again: "What...what's the matter?"

"Small matter." Hua Manlou said calmly, "It's just an order for Song Jie."

399. It's Done!

Hua Manlou originally thought that taking thousands of people to fight Japanese pirates would be a very exciting and exciting thing, and it would be more burning than anything else.

He still thought so when he left Tianjin, and thought about such things as why a man doesn't wear a Wu hook, or the iron horse and glacier dream, but now when he really wants to scold Japanese pirates, he just wants to scold people: this shitty world , whose fault is it?

As you can imagine, the section from Tashan to Fenghua is already devastated.

In the 34th year of Jiajing in Huamanlou's previous life, more than 72 Japanese pirates went all the way from Zhejiang Landing to Yingtianfu, killing and injuring 53 people.And during the siege of Nanjing—you read that right, [-] Japanese pirates besieged the city of Nanjing, which was guarded by tens of thousands of troops, beheaded more than [-] people including two generals and two commanders, and then retreated completely... …(There were more than [-] when the research went ashore, and there were [-] left in Nanjing)

Although this matter seemed very funny, and the Ming army finally beheaded these dozens of people with a large number of superior troops, but judging from the results, the uselessness of the guards can be seen.

Now, there are more than 70 Japanese pirates who have landed on a large scale. Although this group of people is not the "choice of thieves" like the more than [-] ronin who attacked Nanjing, if they are not calmed down as soon as possible and let them run around , how many people will die in this Japanese invasion?

And what...

The Japanese pirates who have no leadership and no organization may work together because of the common goal of Huamanlou before the war. Based on the information provided by a certain prefect, it is not difficult for the Japanese pirates to deduce that there is no chance of winning the battle with water, so Since they wanted to lure the Tianjin navy to the shore to gather superior forces and wipe them out in one fell swoop, most of them are now gathered in the Fenghua area as evidence.

But I have to say that even if the navy came ashore, it would be very difficult for the Japanese pirates to match them.

A cannon at a long distance, another firecracker at a medium distance, and a big killer Pudu at a short distance. This kind of firepower, not to mention that most of them are fake Japanese pirates, are "the best choice among thieves." 'It is difficult for the ronin group to please in front of the navy.

Even if you don't mention firearms, the Tianjin navy is a serious recruiter, an organized and disciplined professional soldier, not like the group of farmers who have just dropped their farm tools in the guard.And after the Shengshan and Cengang battles, the navy has shown confidence and momentum, and its morale is even higher. On the other hand, the Japanese pirates are just a bunch of mobs.

This is a trade-off. Once the Japanese pirates find that the crowd tactics are not working and start running around after the war, Huamanlou only has such a small number of people. Which one is more suitable for chasing the Japanese pirates?And on the way to kill, how much trouble will the Japanese pirates cause in Ningbo, Taizhou, and Shaoxing?

Looking at the map in front of him, Hua Manlou frowned, "I have to think of a way so that they can't run around...or they can only run in one direction."

But after thinking about it, there is no way to narrow the battle situation to one place and wipe out the Japanese pirates. The reason is very simple, Huamanlou has too few people who can use it.

There are more than [-] sailors in the area, but only [-] can actually land and fight. It is already difficult to be outnumbered. It is pure nonsense if you want to play a strategy of dividing troops and encircle the Japanese pirates from several directions. .

The most feasible way is for Huamanlou to personally lead a thousand or eight hundred people to defend a stronghold to lure Japanese pirates to attack, and then gather a large number of troops to attack from inside and outside, so as to wipe out as many Japanese pirates as possible.

But having said that, not to mention whether Geng Tianding and others are willing to let the coach take this risk, this kind of gameplay is also extremely easy to mess up-what if the stronghold is not defended?

As for letting the guards come to help...

You know, before the Qi family army was formed, Qi Jiguang took the more than ten thousand guards assigned to him by Hu Zongxian to fight more than a thousand Japanese pirates in the battle of Longshan.

In the past, Qi Jiguang didn't drive this group of pig teammates, so how could Hua Manlou be able to move?Wouldn't it be troublesome to find them?

"Forget it, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, let's smoke to death first!"

Hua Manlou suppressed the compassion for the people in his heart, and made up his mind to fight the Japanese pirates to the death.

……

Less than [-] miles southeast of Fenghua County, there is a shoal at the innermost end of Xiangshan Port. The Japanese pirates used this as a landing site and stronghold.

The sea is densely packed with Japanese pirate ships. This kind of grand occasion is really rare, and...

The intention is also true and somewhat obvious.

The Japanese pirates didn't believe that Da Zhao's army could fight on land, not only because their opponents were too weak, but also because the assassins in the Zhoushan Island battle were Yin Bowen's men, and since that day Zhoushan The island was blocked, so the news did not come out at all, so this group of Japanese pirates made a very refreshing decision without knowing the capabilities of the navy and land warfare: using the boat as bait, let the Tianjin water The teacher attacked from this direction.

In other words, the densely packed Japanese pirate ships were all given to Huamanlou. Once the navy attacked, they would abandon the ship and lead the navy to the valley north of the shoal, annihilating them with superior force.

Therefore, at this time, there were only more than [-] Japanese pirates stationed on the shoal, and more than [-] Japanese pirates pretended to attack Fenghua, while the rest were all hiding on the surrounding mountains. They harassed around Ninghai in the south, pretending to attack Ninghai by storm, in order to confuse the audience.

For the Japanese pirates who belong to chaos, it is really rare to be able to use some tricks.

As for what to do after the ship is gone...

After destroying the navy on the shore, wouldn't it be enough to use their ships?And with the navy's gunboat, wouldn't even the three Japanese be opponents?By the time……

In short, the heads of the dozens of Japanese pirates all thought so, and when they made the plan, they even agreed on who would want how many boats and who would want how many guns, and they even quarreled for two days...

outrageous.

So when the navy warship appeared in Xiangshan Port, all the pirate leaders were excited when they saw the navy's luxurious warship from a distance: as long as Huamanlou and this navy are destroyed, this warship will be ours !

The leader of the Japanese pirates commanding the enemy on the shoal was also very excited. He stood on a high place with a knife in his hand and looked at the naval warships slowly swaying into battle. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth before ordering: "Meet the enemy!"

Since it is necessary to lure the enemy, it is natural to make a gesture of resistance, otherwise, who would be fooled?

So those who are still on the Japanese pirate ship are regarded as cannon fodder.

A dozen Japanese pirate ships raised their sails and rushed towards the navy's warships in the distance. As expected, when these ships just moved, the navy's artillery fire rang out on both sides of Xiangshan Port.

Unsurprisingly, the Japanese pirate boats rushing past were beaten to pieces, and then the Japanese pirates on the shoal also began to retreat northward along the valley.

The pirate leaders were very excited when they saw this scene: It's done!

(I was so busy throwing up, and my train of thought was also severely interrupted, it may be less in these two days...)

400. Anyway, it’s right to explode

Seeing the Japanese pirates receding like a tide, retreating so decisively and freely, Hua Manlou was stunned: "They are... afraid we don't know there is an ambush here?"

Not to mention that the building is full of flowers, even Qi Wanrong who was standing beside him said at the same time: "Is this how to lure the enemy into deep? This is the first time I have seen such a straightforward tactic."

So at this moment, Huamanlou confirmed at least three things:

First of all, the Japanese pirates were indeed raised and abandoned by the weak guards, or raised arrogantly. The vulnerable combat power does not mean that they have no brains-don’t you see that even the navy soldiers are a little speechless watching this scene?

The so-called opponents are like this, just like the people who have been playing man-machines are at most a bronze, and most of them even don't understand the operation of the king...

Second, the commander of this Japanese bandit must be a real Japanese, because only Japanese people can make things from the Chinese dynasty so nondescript—when the ancestors of the Chinese dynasty were playing the art of war, the Japanese country didn’t even understand the characters!

In the final analysis, the ronin who became Japanese pirates are the defeated of the Japanese country anyway. It is okay to let them command group fights, but let them play this large-scale army-level battle...

Toyotomi Hideyoshi only had [-] troops to attack Takamatsu Castle during the Honnoji Incident. If the history of the Wa Kingdom hadn't changed much, wouldn't they be at the level of gang fights now?

Thirdly...

Although they all call the Japanese pirates cruel, but after excluding the real Japanese with high martial arts skills, most of the rest were young adults and ordinary people who could not survive. Let’s talk about the battle of Longshan that doesn’t move. At that time, Qi Shaobao shot and killed three leaders with his own hands and stabilized his position. Three arrows made the Japanese pirates completely afraid to pursue them. This is enough to prove what kind of bird the Japanese pirates are.

And the Qi family army who only went to the battlefield at the beginning of the year after military training also proved this point: kill a thousand Japanese pirates, and three of them were killed...

So, whether it is the Japanese pirates invading Daming or Daming resisting the Japanese, it seems like a ridiculous story coming out...

And there is one more absurd thing.

"If Yin Bowen hadn't coaxed the Japanese pirates to come to Ningbo, the Japanese pirates in the southeast wouldn't have gathered here, and they wouldn't have resorted to such a playful tactic while underestimating the enemy." Hua Manlou's complexion was a bit complicated, and he smiled wryly: "So it ended. In other words, Yin Bowen can be regarded as speeding up the process of Pingwa, so do you think I should thank his eight generations of ancestors?"

Qi Wanrong thought for a while, and agreed: "So...you really have to thank his eight generations of ancestors?"

Hua Manlou sighed and waved to the messenger: "Go to the next step!"

"Yes!"

After this order was issued, except for a few warships guarding the Japanese pirate ships on the sea, most of the warships turned their guns to the valley where the Japanese pirates retreated, and started round after round of saturation bombing.

Anyway, it's right to fry.

The gunners who have long been accustomed to fighting at sea can be said to be at ease in Xiangshan Port where the wind and waves are very small. Most of the shells are fired towards crowded places, so more than [-] Japanese pirates who seemed to be luring the enemy deep were bombed and cried. After the Japanese pirates fell in pieces, the rest only hated that their parents had lost a pair of legs and ran away with all their strength, even leaving behind their weapons...

But despite this, the Japanese pirate leaders ambushing on the mountain are still rejoicing: I am lucky that I didn't fight the navy at sea, otherwise what would I do?
