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

So they yelled at the agitated minions: "Don't panic! Zhao Jun will die once he lands!"

"What are you afraid of! They just have better artillery!"

"The artillery can't go ashore, so I just wait quietly!"

As a result, the Japanese pirates watched helplessly as the navy cleared the field, then watched as the navy set all their warships on fire, and finally...

Watching the navy slowly turn around and leave, without even clearing the battlefield...

All the Japanese pirates ambushing on the mountain were dumbfounded: After killing people, setting fire and then running away?No, you sailors want to be ashamed?How can you embarrass those of us who keep cloth pockets on the mountain?

For a while, the pirate leaders didn't know what to do, they just wanted to chop off the one who made the plan and feed them to the dogs.

The Japanese pirates are difficult to destroy because they have ships in their hands, and when they plunder, they can be said to come and go like a shadow, and they bully Da Zhao's sea power is too weak.But after they lost their boat, they had no way of retreating. No matter how tricky the guards were, they could still be encircled and suppressed by their numbers...

After clarifying the situation, the Japanese pirates panicked.

At this time, Qi Wanrong on the boat asked Hua Manlou in confusion: "There's no need to run, right? The valley is more than two miles wide. I'm not afraid that they are condescending, and Japanese pirates have always lacked bows and arrows, so let's fight them."

Hua Manlou explained: "Even if you're not afraid of their siege, there's no need to get into that pocket. If I'm right, they're going to have internal strife by now."

"Infighting? Why?"

"Didn't you say that these [-] Japanese pirates are gathered by many groups of Japanese pirates? In order to achieve a goal, they will reluctantly suppress the previous contradictions, and they will temporarily elect a leader or something to take the lead. But even so The conflicts between them still exist, and there are also scruples about whether they will grow or lose." Hua Manlou said firmly, "So if this kind of team goes well, it's fine, but once they suffer a major setback, they will inevitably fight among themselves."

Didn't the Eighteenth Route princes act like this when they attacked Dong Zhuo?

"Now the Japanese pirates have damaged all the ships, but they haven't hurt a single hair of the sailors. Under such circumstances..." Hua Manlou gloated and said with a gloating smile, "Those who guessed bad ideas will be lit with sky lanterns."

Hua Manlou guessed that there was nothing wrong with it. Not long after the navy left, the pirate leaders gathered together to accuse and abuse each other. In the end, the pirate leader who proposed to lure the enemy was actually chopped off, and his subordinates were killed at the same time. Either be incorporated by other pirates...

After Qi Wanrong realized it, she also had a gloating smile on her face: "Then what shall we do next?"

Hua Manlou smiled: "After the internal strife, they should probably go down the mountain. Next, they have two choices. One is to continue to attack Fenghua, and the other is to go south to Ninghai, because only in this way can we go ashore and fight them head-on. , and only in this way can they replenish the lack of supplies and food."

Pointing to a place on the map, Hua Manlou said: "The guards of Haimen have been added and are currently stationed in Ninghai, so in theory, it is unlikely that Japanese pirates will attack Ninghai, and the most likely is to besiege Fenghua. Then we can start from Huangyan Shan Lun went all the way to the back of the pirates..."

Looking at the map, Qi Wanrong frowned and said: "In this way, wouldn't the Japanese pirates who have been beaten up go to the north of Ningbo Mansion?"

Hua Manlou nodded and said: "That's right, of course the Japanese pirates are going north, and they have to go north, otherwise, how can a certain magistrate encounter a wave of daring Japanese pirates?"

"...I understand. You are not thanking his eighth-generation ancestors, but you are sending him to meet his eighth-generation ancestors."

(Sister thinks about it, it will be updated in the afternoon, hahaha!)

401. Died in Xishan Famous Property

The next day, the naval reconnaissance team really found out that the Japanese pirates were gathering in Fenghua, and at the same time detected the trend of the Japanese pirates logging in the mountains, seemingly trying to make siege equipment.

After hearing the news, Hua Manlou, who was hiding in Huangyan Mountain with most of them, didn't know what expression to make, and just sighed: "Niece, you say such a stupid enemy... Dazhao's guard is really useless... How did you lose so badly?"

"Stupid?" Qi Wanrong tilted her head, with a puzzled expression on her face: "Siege... It seems that there is nothing wrong with using some equipment?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but do you think it's easier to plunder villages or attack cities? The Japanese pirates giving up running around and looting is equivalent to Xishanwei putting down the firearms in his hands and riding and shooting with Wala. You don't understand this, right?" Hua said. After Manlou explained a few words, he suddenly felt something in his heart: "Wait a minute... Are you deliberately flattering me here these days?"

Qi Wanrong moved her eyes aside: "I... how can I have it?"

Hua Manlou: "..."

Before they arrived at Ningbo Mansion, the atmosphere between the two was just right, and they felt like they were going to have sex in the next moment. But a few days ago, Huamanlou and Yin Bowen were fighting wits and courage, and then the Japanese pirates invaded, so the two of them Not much time to get bored.But now that the situation has become clearer step by step, Hua Manlou has a little more peace of mind, so he once again discovered some unusual things about Qi Wanrong, such as: pretending to be stupid.

It was said earlier that Qi Wanrong's two return to two, but her IQ is not low, at least she can keep up with Hua Manlou's thinking in battle, and she can even understand the battle situation faster than military officers like Geng Tianding and He Qing.

But she seems to like to deliberately ask a few more questions on some obvious questions. After getting the answer from Huamanlou, she immediately sends a look of admiration or a look of sudden understanding, which makes Huamanlou The uncle almost thought that he was a famous general in the world.

In other words, this girl's behavior tends to be more and more purely for favors, and at the same time, she also establishes the image of Huamanlou who has no plans to spare - because every time she asks a question, most of the people around her There are military officers or soldiers nearby.

When thinking about the departure from Tianjin, she reminded Hua Manlou not to get too frustrated in front of the soldiers...

Hua Manlou stared at Qi Wanrong for a whole stick of incense, and when she looked at it almost ashamed, she whispered expectantly: "My...my mother said that men should be held, and they don't like women too much. Smart, so... so..."

Hua Manlou rubbed his aching head: "Although it's a bit bad to accuse the elders, but Lingtang...is really flustered!"

Qi Wanrong struggled for a while before saying: "Then you...do you like smarter people?"

"I like it..." Hua Manlou opened his mouth: "Stop making trouble, let's fight! In short, when the Japanese pirates start attacking the city, we will attack from the rear!"

In the afternoon, the Japanese pirates really planned to attack the city.

The city wall of Fenghua is not high, only two feet in area, and because there is no river nearby, there is no moat, and the Japanese pirates can directly attack the city.

The Japanese pirates attacked the South Gate, and their first echelon consisted of 5000 people. The front team carried crude ladders and giant logs that hit the door, and the rear team waved them under the leadership of a few real Japanese pirates. Armed with a mess of weapons, they charged upwards screaming and screaming without formation.

On the city wall, the magistrate of Fenghua organized the soldiers in the city and the people Zhuang Xiangyong to stand on the top of the city tremblingly. Many people started to shoot arrows or throw stones down before the Japanese pirates arrived at the city. It was a chaotic situation.

Hua Manlou, who rushed to the top of Wanghai Mountain in the southeast of Fenghua with a large army, only took one look and sighed: "The chickens are pecking at each other, what is this beating?"

"Uncle, depending on the situation, Fenghua won't last long..." Geng Tianding looked down the mountain and asked anxiously, "Shall we go up?"

"Well, act according to plan!"

Huamanlou gave an order, and the artillery team immediately began to look for a suitable place to set up the artillery, and the rest of the people formed a formation on the mountainside to deal with the counterattack of the Japanese pirates. One shot.

boom!

This shell exploded among the densely packed Japanese pirates at the foot of the mountain, killing and wounding the Japanese pirates immediately, but it was only at this time that the Japanese pirates realized that there was someone behind them, and the reaction of the Japanese pirates was the same as that group of people in Dinghai City: "The sailor will send the ship Did it reach shore?"

The Japanese pirates who attacked Fenghua all paused, and turned their heads to look at the large army without knowing what to do. What they saw when they turned their heads was artillery fire all over the sky.

The sound of rumbling cannons resounded all over the field, and the shells poured down on the Japanese pirates like rain, and the Japanese pirates began to riot in an instant.

As I said earlier, the average quality of the Japanese pirates is basically equivalent to that of the militia. How could they perform well under such a raid?

Although they don't know how the artillery fire came from, the Japanese pirate leaders knew that if they didn't wipe out the artillery force that appeared out of nowhere, they would suffer heavy losses, so they roared and wanted to gather their hands to stabilize their formation and kill Wanghaishan. But the crowd in the dense formation has already become a swarm of bees, where can we gather people?

For a while, the Japanese pirates who attacked Fenghua didn't know whether to continue fighting or to retreat, while the Japanese pirates in the rear were in a mess. Everyone was running around, but no one knew where to run. The Japanese pirates even swung their knives because others blocked their way...

On the contrary, in the southeast corner, there was a Japanese pirate leader wielding a samurai sword and beheaded several people in succession before he stabilized his part of the people.

Seeing the pirates leading hundreds of people trying to go up the mountain, Huamanlou didn't even lift their eyelids, but ordered: "Continue to bombard me until this group of people completely collapses!"

Before the words fell, Geng Tianding's troops on the mountainside opened fire.

The firecrackers who had been fined in the first battle of Shengshan had a reliable performance at this moment. The bursts of thousands of firecrackers were more intensive and sharper than the bursts of war against the tiles in the capital city. It was almost the same. In an instant, the screaming Japanese pirates were turned on their backs.

Fortunately, the leader of the Japanese pirates was not shot. The spirit of the brave Japanese samurai made him advance and never retreat. He leaned down while dodging and yelling loudly for his subordinates to follow him, borrowing the cover of mountains, rocks and trees to go up Chong, however...

After rushing forward for a while, the grenadier next to the gunslinger made a move.

This Japanese pirate leader is proud enough, because in the past, Erstumu did not rush to Xishanwei on horseback, but he took advantage of the complicated terrain and led people to rush to within tens of meters, and then died in the famous Xishan - Purdue .

After the Japanese pirates who climbed the mountain were defeated, no one rushed up again.

(It is true that more than seventy Japanese pirates killed Nanjing. It is recorded in the last paragraph of Chapter 425 of Shizong Shizong's Records. The original text is as follows: ... This thief ran from Gaobu, Shaoxing, but six or seventy people robbed Hangyan, Huining, Ningtaiping and left as criminals The capital (the capital is Nanjing), after thousands of miles of killing and war injuries, there are 70 people. Every one who kills one censor, one county prime minister, two commanders and two generals enters the two counties, and it lasts for more than 5000 days. Are you watching the fire, gentlemen?)

402. Fallen Grass Becomes a Bandit

The battle of Fenghua was over in less than an hour.

In this battle, Hua Manlou outnumbered the crowd, killed more than [-] Japanese pirates on the spot, and injured more than [-]—at least half of the many casualties were caused by the Japanese pirates themselves when they stampede and fled. There are no dead on our side, and the wounded...

Two people.

That's right, there were two people. When these two wounded wretches rushed up to shout for surrender and not to kill, one sprained his foot, and the other stepped on the knife half buried in the soil, which was outrageous.

Compared with fighting, gathering the Japanese pirates who knelt on the ground and surrendered was more labor-intensive—the injured Japanese pirates and those who did not run away all surrendered, totaling more than [-] Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates who surrendered were disarmed and sat together at the foot of the Fenghua wall. The naval guards only used a hundred people to guard the group, and most of the others were led by Geng Tianding to chase after the Japanese pirates. A large number of Japanese pirates will be captured and brought to justice—yes, not prisoners, but brought to justice. Huamanlou really doesn't want to use war to describe today's incident.

Standing on Wanghai Mountain, Huamanlou didn't feel happy about a big victory at all, but he understood Qi Shaobao more and more. In the battle of Longshan, Qi Jiguangming had clearly controlled the field and organized people to fight back. But the guard soldiers returned after only chasing for a while.When asked why, the soldier said confidently that this is what the Japanese pirates have always done in the past. It is enough to drive them away, but they can't be killed anyway.

For this kind of opponent who collapsed in one fight, Qi Jiguang almost missed and was captured, and even failed to win after controlling the field, and the soldiers didn't even dare to chase after him...

I don't know how broken Qi Shaobao was back then.

After letting out the gloom in his heart, Hua Manlou tried to make himself a little bit happier: Anyway, this battle was won, and there is no need to relive Qi Shaobao's mental journey of retraining after learning from the pain, right?

After descending the mountain, the county magistrate of Fenghua led the county officials, the elders and the people out of the city to greet him. As soon as Pu met, he knelt on the ground in the city. A squire offered to reward the army...

Huamanlou sighed again.

Obviously, they just pulled the navy here and fired a few shots. In terms of intensity, today’s events can’t even catch up with Xishanwei’s one-day training.

Of course, more than [-] Japanese pirates killed the city. In this era, everyone would be shocked. It is not exaggerated for the common people to celebrate like the rest of their lives.

Hua Manlou, who was in a complicated mood, didn't stay in Fenghua much. After declining the banquet from the magistrate of Fenghua, only a few people were left to help the magistrate guard the captured Japanese pirates, and then continued northward with others.

And in front of Huamanlou, 2000 people from Geng Tianding's department chased nearly [-] Japanese pirates to fight. It is true that it reversed the situation of a few Japanese pirates chasing Weisuo in the past, and it can be said to be quite relieved.

What's even more depressing is that the Japanese pirates who were chased in a hurry planned to set up an ambush to fight back, but the result was very miserable. The Chinese navy is simply a dream. After a few rounds of bombing by [-] grenadiers, they killed more than a thousand and captured [-].

Not to mention the role that Purdue can play in the wars of this era. In short, Japanese pirates are Japanese pirates. When they encounter a powerful opponent, they can't behave like an army at all, and what...

Under Huamanlou's efforts to improve the sailor's food regardless of cost, the sailor has already crushed the Japanese pirates in terms of physical fitness, so after being chased and beaten for more than a day, the ordinary Japanese pirates who are hungry and full every day have already Couldn't bear it any longer, so he dropped it directly.

At this point, the remaining Japanese pirates were completely broken up and turned into strands of rogues.

……

Ningbo Mansion.

"You said you were going out of town to kill thieves?"

In the inn, the pale Nie Wenbing looked at Song Jie with a complicated expression.

Song Jie looked directly at Nie Wenbing: "Yes, Lord Ministry, kill the thief."

Nie Wenbing pursed his lips and sighed: "You have sent the old man here safely, so there is no reason for the old man to keep you... But the old man still wants to ask, Hua Manlou really wants to do this?"

Song Jie pretended to be puzzled: "My boss Qian didn't do anything, did he? He just killed a Japanese pirate..."

"Bastard!" Nie Wenbing glared at Song Jie: "When you go out of the city at this time, do you really think I have no idea?"

Song Jie looked at Nie Wenbing fixedly, and suddenly smiled: "My lord, my boss Qian once said something, which is rare to be confused, so why can't you pretend that you don't know anything when you are old?"

Nie Wenbing snorted: "Impossible! Isn't Huamanlou afraid that the old man will report him?"

Song Jie said cheerfully: "My lord, my boss Qian said: If Nie Butang asks this question, let the Butang encounter a wave of Japanese pirates first. Anyway, there are Japanese pirates around Ningbo Mansion now. If you accidentally touch the city, you may not be sure." ..."

Nie Wenbing was so angry that he coughed: "You...you...Zhuzi..."

"My lord." When Nie Wenbing was so angry that he jumped to his feet, Song Jie suddenly straightened his face, and said politely: "Actually, my boss Qian didn't say anything at all, but I have a few words to discuss with you. road."

Nie Wenbing was taken aback: "You? Discuss with me?"

"Yes."

Logically speaking, not only the official positions but also the identities are very different between a hundred households and a minister, but Song Jie just said that, and he said it very calmly, neither humble nor overbearing, which caused Nie Wenbing to nod subconsciously : "Say it."

"This trip to the southeast, I have always been by my family's Mr. Qian." Song Jie said calmly, "Mr. Qian's expression has become more and more gloomy, and his anger has become more and more intense. Do you know why?"

Without waiting for Nie Wenbing to speak, Song Jie said in person: "I feel that if it was just Japanese pirates, my boss Qian would not be so angry, because he once said that animals can only do what animals do, and humans and animals can't do it." Care about, kill him, so why be angry?"

"However, what if people do things like animals?" Song Jie stared at Nie Wenbing, and said like a knife: "The nobles of a family are so unattainable and powerful, but what they do is simply not as good as animals. The same is true of Wang Jin, and the same is true of Yin Bowen. Maybe there are other magistrates who are also like this. They have mistreated the people and the great Zhao, but someone in the court has deceived the court and His Majesty for them, so that they can deal with them. People don’t even know what it looks like here.”

"So, even if Mr. Qian didn't give orders, the humble will leave the city." Song Jie looked at Nie Wenbing with a smile, and said in the latter's shocked eyes: "If the boss wants to report, then go ahead and report, the humble will kill you." So what if Yin Bowen is really turned into a bandit?"

"My lord, just now I said that the purpose of going out of the city is to kill the thief, and this thief is the thief of Da Zhao. Since I want to get rid of the thief, how can I be afraid that my lord will report it?"

Looking at Song Jie's young and resolute face, Nie Wenbing couldn't say a word.

403. Who Will the Heavens Forgive?

What Song Jie said was very simple, and there was not much reason in his words, and in practice, this practice was a typical chivalrous style.

The so-called chivalry is prohibited by martial arts. From the perspective of social security, the more such people there are, the more unstable the society will be, because most of these people are killed but not buried, and it is extremely easy to create antagonism between the government and the people. ——Bai Lian That's what teaching does.

But from another perspective, when chivalry has to be banned with martial arts, the society has already tended to an extremely unstable situation, especially the situation where magistrates cover the sky with one hand.

In this case, even according to the law of the state, it is inclination to make a judgment quickly, otherwise, who should the huge public grievances be vented to?This is the reason why all the officials of Datong Mansion were taken down last year and the knife was quickly used. If these moths don't die, then more people will die, and the place will become more chaotic.

Nie Wenbing knew this well, so he remained silent.

"Ugh……"

After a long time, he sighed deeply and closed his eyes wearily.
