Episode 266

Fuzhou has gathered more than 300,000 people who have fled from all parts of the city. Among them, there are many wealthy households who have come to the city late and have no way to enter the city. They have to stay outside the city. So, they also feel more at ease here.

Fujian is really poor mountains and bad waters, the land is barren, even the weather is good and the weather can only barely fill the stomach, and the only way to live a good life is to go to sea. However, after the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, even larger fishing boats were not allowed to go to sea.

In addition to some scholars who have read books and dreamed of taking the top spot through the study section, ordinary people have to take risks in maritime business, running Nanyang, Luzon and Ryukyu, and Dongying, but in this way, they violated the laws of the imperial court. There are more and more robbers.

The Japanese pirates swept across the border of Fujian, which was a real fear. These local robbers took advantage of the paralysis of the government and looted and kidnapped their votes. They scared the rich, gentry, and rich merchants all day long.

I do n’t want the Fujian government to make adults not allow them to enter the city, but the tax collectors are diligent. They send some tax collectors out of the city every day to charge them “wartime drafting tax”, but they do n’t see his soldiers fighting a victory. The people secretly scolded them. .

At this time, the Fuzhou city was still peaceful, with green willows in a row and cicadas singing in a low voice. Despite the improper jurisdiction, the rampage of pirates, the roaring of thieves, the displacement of the people, and the unbearable misery of the people, this street of high officials and gentry gatherings is still singing and dancing.

The rich and powerful people who came and went by car or horse, still shuttled between Huaxiang and Liuxiang. The lazy soldiers were holding a big gun around the government and the Yamen, and the people did not dare to come close, otherwise they could hear the powder wall. The softly chanting and the voice of silk and bamboo came from inside.

Ruan Dawen sat behind a short table, holding a fine porcelain and gold-encrusted wine cup and sipping the wine in a self-satisfied manner. In the singing and dancing sounds, six beautiful and well-dressed girls were dancing in the hall.

Zhai Qingshan, the imperial envoy, was attracted by their beautiful dance posture. After watching it for a long while, she woke up and took a glass of wine to Ruan Dawen. He smiled and said, “Master Ruan, please.”

“Oh, Master Zhai, Master Zhou, Master Wang, come and have a drink together,” Ruan Dawen also happily raised his glass. Advise several people to drink. Ruan Dawen was in his early forties, with a slender posture, a face like a crown jade, and three wisps of beard under his jaw.

Next to him, a beautiful woman lying on his shoulder and whispering quietly, Ruan Dawen sipped half of his drink, and spouted out with a “pop”, happy to lean back and forth.

He twisted his buttocks under the light chiffon shirt of the woman. Hehe laughed and said: “Go, go, the old man will have a drink with a few adults.”

The beautiful woman smiled, Yingying stood up to Zhai Qingshan and others, and quietly retreated. Ruan Dawen waved his hand, and the six showgirls stopped singing and dancing. With big sleeves, he stepped back out of the hall.

Ruan Dawen said: “My lords, our Fuzhou City robbery was fleeing, but the Japanese were always in chaos in our Fujian, and you and I are the top officials of the Fujian military and political administration. We must always have an explanation to Governor Yang, and we will never be there. Have they grabbed enough to leave? Does Master Zhou have a clever plan? “

Zhou Hong is the Admiral of Fujian Navy and the leader of the Three Guards Army. He is the chief officer of the Fujian military, but this person is like a tiger against the Japanese pirates. As soon as the Japanese pirates enter the Fujian dynasty, he avoids war everywhere, leaving the people to suffer, fearing that he is real Confronted with the Japanese pirates. Ruan Dawen ’s tactic of ‘sending the boat and the silver to buy one ’s stability’ came from this Zhou Lang.

Seeing Ruan Dawen asking about this, Zhou Hong frowned, and said slowly: “Master, now the Japanese pirates have shown signs of moving to Guangdong and Guangxi, and they have always been unable to gain a foothold from north to south. With the six warships we sent, they already have The meaning of going to Yizhou or being full of thorns and establishing a foothold, I believe that I will leave here soon. “

Ruan Dawen knows nothing about military affairs. I was relieved when I heard this. He sighed: “That’s it, the six warships just shipped out of the ship with guns were given to the Japanese. I submitted a document to the governor’s office to say that our army suffered heavy casualties and all six warships were destroyed. To retreat, there is a lot of competition for land, and the Japanese pirates will also lose a lot. If the Japanese pirates do not leave, the battle report will continue to be sent to Suzhou, but it will be exposed. “

Zhou Hong had known that the Japanese pirates were indeed fighting Yizhou and Manchujia’s ideas, and intended to find a stable site. However, after Ruan Dawen said so seriously, his heart was not solid.

Zhou Hongqiang said with a smile: “Master, rest assured, the poor mountains and waters of Fujian, I don’t think they have anything to grab. They are untenable in the north, and it is inevitable to continue to go south …”.

He just said that, outside the hall, he cried out, “Report! Master, Ruan San’er is back!”

Zhou Hong suddenly stopped and looked at the door together with Ruan Dawen and others. I saw two soldiers coming in with an ordinary man dressed. The man was all dusty, his face was red, sweat was dripping from his temples, both were somewhat Stiff.

Ruan Dawen saw that he was Ruan San’er, and he quickly stood up and said: “Ruan San’er, how … How did he look like this? Did he encounter a Japanese pirate or … or Suzhou …”.

Ruan San’er stood still and got rid of the support of the two guards, waved them back, and waited for them to step out of the hall before they took a step forward and said anxiously: “Sir, look at the small one, the situation is a bit bad. When I rushed to Suzhou City nine days ago, I heard that the Governor General would come to Fujian to inspect the military situation in person … “.

Zhai Qingshan couldn’t help but breathe: “Why? He is in charge of the military affairs of the six provinces. At this time, he is not in the middle of the command, but he left Suzhou to inspect southern Fujian. Isn’t it more troublesome to send the news of the northern war to him? .Which part of the six provinces have not lost the battle, why is he so nervous about the fighting in southern Fujian? “

Ruan San’er swallowed and said hardly: “Adult, at that time … At that time, our military situation was not reported to the Governor’s Office.”

Ruan Dawen heard his face change, and Zhou Hong was also frightened. So Yang Ling was another source of news? Even though he got the news that Fujian was defeated, the messages sent by the Fujian military repeatedly showed that after the stubborn resistance of the Fujian military and civilians, the Japanese pirates suffered heavy losses. Now most of the Japanese pirates have returned to the sea to continue to flee south, but Yang Ling did not ask questions. Going south immediately if you understand?

At this time, many Japanese pirates in the northern provinces left their orders. It was a good opportunity to wipe out, Yang Ling hurriedly rushed here to do? Is it … “

Zhou Hong thought of “choking” in his heart here, and he waved: “Adult knows, go down and rest first.” Looking coldly at Ruan San’er’s exit from the hall, Zhou Hong immediately got up and walked to Ruan Dawen’s copy, anxiously said: “Adult, Yang Ling is in control of the inner factory, and has close relations with the other two factories and one guard. The guards of the factory and the guards are everywhere …… Isn’t it true that we have leaked the information we did? “

Ruan Dawen became pale as soon as his face was brushed, and he grabbed Zhou Hong’s collar and trembled, “How come? How is it possible? Didn’t you say that this is foolproof? You … You … .. If we really guard against the city, the Japanese pirates may not be able to beat Fuzhou, but now …… Now, once our governor is known by Governor Yang, this is a decisive crime … decisive crime! “

Zhou Hong saw him in a vain manner that he regretted, and felt a little contempt in his heart. But now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and they can’t turn their faces at each other. He suppressed the fire and explained: “

Master, you have just been working in Guangxi for half a year. How can we know the situation of the guards in Fujian? They are basically half officials and half bandits. Where are the materials for fighting? Really want to fight, and within a long time, Fuzhou will be captured by the Japanese. We are so painstaking in doing this, we plan to do it for the 300,000 people in the city. “

Ruan Dawen was crying anxiously. He loosened Zhou Hong’s collar and said with a sad face: “How can Governor Yang understand my pains in protecting the place? Didn’t you say that he saw the military sentiment and reprimanded him? He came What to do? How could he know what happened here? “

Zhai Qingshan said with a somber face: “We thought that there were pirates everywhere in Fujian. The factory guards disappeared and the civilians. It was difficult to predict the life and death of a single person. Such a dangerous environment must evacuate here early. Now it seems …”.

He took a long breath and said: “The embezzlement of 60,000 treasury silver, the secret made at this time, is also easy to hide the eyes and ears of others, but ….. six giant ships, no fight without a fight It ’s gone. If there are still people in the city, how could there be no trace of it? “

He gave a heavy kick. Suddenly called out: “Master Ruan, Master Zhou, Master Wang. The six warships are not slaps and gadgets. How could they hide everyone’s eyes and ears? Originally everyone below knew it and couldn’t turn the sky. But if there is someone above, Want to track down, a confession from a man can take the heads of all four of us. “

Wang Feiling was a prefect of Fuzhou. He had been angry with Ruan Dawen, Zhai Qingshan and other people, and exploited the people. When he heard this, he was suddenly scared with cold sweat. His forehead was covered with sweat beads, and his face was as gray as the land. “Masters, do you think of a way?”

Zhou Hong rolled his eyes and thought: “Perhaps Yang Ling felt relieved to see that the wars in various provinces had already improved? Is this a secret enough? Are we making a fuss? Ha ha ha, don’t you scare yourself?”

Zhai Qingshan sneered and said, “I hope so, but what if Yang Ling really got the news? As soon as the Governor-General of the Emperor Chin entered Fuzhou City, we would have to … people, head, land, land!”

Ruan Dawen sat down and murmured, “It’s a blessing, not a curse, a curse can’t be avoided. Now … we’re destined!”

However, Wang Feiling heard Zhai Qingshan’s out-of-string voice, and immediately asked: “Master Zhai, you said that if you sent him into Fuzhou City, we would be killed. Could it be that Master Zhai had a way to prevent him from entering Fuzhou City?”

Zhai Qingshan glanced at Ruan Dawen and Zhou Hong, and said, “I’m just a patrol officer, no soldiers, no powers, no powers. I sent the Governor General to patrol, and I must have at least three thousand iron rides before calling. Hold him? “

Zhou Hong looked at Zhai Qingshan and Wang Feiling and became grotesque, and grinned: “I am a soldier, but what about that? I let them go to assassinate? Who will agree?”

Zhai Qingshan said insidiously: “Who said that he was going to kill the mission? The Japanese pirates attacked Quanzhou as imperialists, and now we get news that another Japanese pirate who broke down from Jiangnan pretended to be my Daming army and tried to attack Fuzhou. Fu pirate ………… “.

Zhou Hong was shocked. Surprised: “Is this feasible? The two sides will lose their feet as soon as they fight.”

When Wang Feiling arrived at this time, he couldn’t help but live up to the courageously. He said: “The terrain of Yueshanyu in the north of the city is dangerous. If you leave the whole village alone, if you let all the soldiers lay there, put a few cannons and pile up rolling stones. Once the ambush is successful, the opponent will be able to fold in half.

Hey, by then it was like riding a tiger. No matter if the officers and soldiers discover the truth, they will only make mistakes. Who dares to hesitate? Was it still free from sin? “

Zhai Qingshan also came to the spirit, and stepped forward to agitate and said: “Not far above Yueshanyu is a big river. Once the gun sounds here, you can send people to break the embankment to release the water. They want to avoid the big water and only escape to the two. The side of the mountain, and the ambush is right on the mountain. Maybe you do n’t have to go down the mountain with one soldier at a time, and you can wipe them out! “

Zhou Hong listened to the trembling on his face. He thought about the thigh suddenly and thought his teeth clenchedly: “Stretch your head and cut your head. You might have a chance to fight, sir, let’s do it!”

Ruan Dawen slowly raised his head and looked at them dullly. Nene said authentically: “Kill …… kill Khincha? That’s a big crime for the Nine Clan!”

The muscles on Zhou Hong’s face were tense, and he grinned sternly: “Master, we used the Kuyin warship to clear the Japanese pirates. It is already a serious crime for the Nine Clan. Can people still die twice? But if they succeed, they will die. Escape. The soldiers who knew about it did not dare to divulge the news.

What’s more, I can also transfer them to the battlefield to borrow Japanese people’s hands to remove hidden dangers, as for the mission ….., hey, hey …, Lu Yu Japanese. You can also seal your wife Yinzi by martyrdom, and we are worthy of him. “

Ruan Dawen lost his mind again. His eyes glanced over the faces of the three people. There were fierce glints in Zhai Qingshan’s eyes. With a murderous look, Ruan Dawen finally lowered his eyes and asked softly, “Then … .Who will let you ambush Chin …. ambush the ‘Japanese pirates’ in disguise? Lord Zhou. You ………… “.

Really let him face the army of missions. How could Zhou Hong have the courage to fear the battle? He hurriedly said: “Admiral, I am a marine admiral. Although the governor is in charge of the three guards on the ground, if my marine admiral personally takes the horse, it will be difficult for others to think without doubt.”

Ruan Dawen hesitated and said: “So … who else is available?”

Zhou Hong’s eyes flashed and said coldly: “Guerrilla general He Bingwen, what do you think?”

“He …?” Ruan Dawen stunned.

Zhou Hongdao: “Yes! He Bingwen is well-positioned, and his combat strength is the strongest among the defenders in Fuzhou. It is said that he was originally a general in the northern frontier army, and he carried him in the battle of Jimingyi. After the black catastrophe, it was reduced to Guangxi and became a small hundred households. It was an adult who saw his talents and promoted him. When he was transferred to the Fujian bureau chief, he also brought him over. Should you be the heart of the heart? “

“Uh … This person has always been reticent and cautious. The officer found him to be a general, and this led him to his side,” said Ruan Dawen, caressing his beard.

In fact, Ruan Dawen did n’t have that vision naturally. After He Shen was relegated to Guangxi, he made a small hundred households in Nandanzhou. Once Ruan Dawen inspected this, the wealthy horse crossed was surprised by an Orion dog and broke free After the horseman pulled him through a wild run, He Shen saved Li from the horse, and Ruan Dawen moved him to the bureau chief and made a defense.

Later, Ruan Dawen saw that he was well-mannered and stable, but he was a talent that could be used. He gradually promoted him. When he arrived in Fujian, he had no responsibility for military affairs because he did not have a commander here. He then brought He Bingwen, the current Fuzhou guerrilla general.

Zhai Qingshan said: “I also heard about his affairs. It seems that after being arrested in Beijing, officials from various ministries shirk their responsibility and everyone wants to kill him and die. Later, he was the first emperor to open grace and pardoned his death penalty to Guangxi. In this way, he must have no good feelings for the members of Beijing and China, and he is a native brought out by adults, and should also be reliable. Moreover, after the major events have been finalized, he just wants to quit our ship. “

“His five thousand soldiers and horses are the most elite troops in Fuzhou at the moment, and he can only be sure if he is sent. If the adults are not at ease with him, I can send a few confidants to watch him, and immediately kill him if there is a change. ! “

“…… .. Good!” Ruan Dawen finally made up his mind and suddenly stood on the thigh with a sharp look, said with cold eyes: “You are not kind. Don’t blame me for being injustice! Master Yang, I am forced by you!”

He gasped for breath and shouted, “Come here, Ma uploads guerrilla general He Bingwen to see me!”

The mighty contingent was winding south along the rugged and difficult mountain road, and covered the sun. Thousands of armoured armour in front, officers and soldiers with red lacquer lances lead the way, and a thousand Park sword shields, bows and arrows, and firemen in the middle are surrounded by handed ceremonies. The officers and soldiers at the rear of the palace were also full of swords and guns, and their banners were displayed.

It was just that this official soldier had a white damask, and even Yang Ling and the generals Xiao Hengjiang and Du Si Luoyi who were riding the Chinese army were no exceptions. When the army arrived in Lishui, Yang Ling got accurate information on the battlefield in Fujian. A thousand-person team he sent to encountered large-scale Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirate was Miyamoto’s, possessing three artillery pieces seized from the Ming army, and he had extraordinary combat power.

The Thousands team is hard to support with few enemies. However, the Fujian Marine Division responsible for the interception from the back and the officers of the guards who fought the attack did not rush to the siege site on the grounds that the torrential flood broke out after the rain, which caused Yangling ’s Thousands to fight alone. All five people died in battle, and none survived.

When Yang Ling heard the news, there was no more anger at all. He held the floor from the Neichang Fan to report the tears for a while, gritted his teeth and pulled the horns around his forehead. He ordered the army to set off immediately, and rushed to Fuzhou.

The bad news spread quietly in the army. I don’t know when, the soldiers learned the governor’s lord, all of them were wearing white silk, and they were already the whole army. They marched with filial piety.

Taihe County Commander Wang He came to greet the mission and saw the atmosphere of Xiao Sha’s coldness. He did not know what happened to the army. Before the Chinese army saw Yang Ling, they led the army to Taishun County.

Taishun is a small county. Located on the border of Zhejiang and Fujian, where officers and soldiers often pass by, but have never seen such a large person, Wang He just ushered in a role in front of Yang Ling, so he did not dare to announce the news of the mission. So the people in the market are still going around as usual, and no one is surprised to watch.

Yang Ling was very satisfied when he saw him. When he passed Qingtian, the county magistrate made a big move, and all three groups of government officials were dispatched. He also mobilized the people of Shili and Baxiang, and the team was discharged from Sanlidi. , Clean water splashed the street.

In fact, although the Qin sent out to patrol on behalf of the emperor, there was still a difference in etiquette. The Qingtian county magistrate’s reception was somewhat overdone, and Yang Ling was furious and scolded him on the spot. Now that the county magistrate is compassionate and sympathetic to the people, he has no flattery and flattery, which makes him somewhat favored.

Yang Ling didn’t expect that the county magistrate, in order to leave a good impression on Qincha, even quickly sent people to the counties along the way to inquire about Yang Ling’s temperament. This was so arranged. On these minutiae, he tried to figure out the boss The mind is exhausted.

The honor guard turned the intersection, the army in front had passed the county government, at this moment, Yang Ling saw a ragged woman in an alley leading a young child running all the way, but after all, he couldn’t run after several chasing behind The man, the fastest chased, kicked to the ground, and a few people stepped forward to punch and kick. The woman lay on the ground with her head held, and the child beside him cried, but was slapped by a slap fan. Fall to the ground.

Yang Ling was already in a bad mood. When she saw this, she frowned in disgust and immediately strangled the reins. His personal guards understood what the adults meant, and hurried past the four soldiers, and brought them all in a short while.

Fang Cai didn’t understand the content of the child’s cry far away. Although he didn’t understand what he said when he was brought to the place, Yang Ling had heard that it was not a local dialect, but a Japanese language he spoke. He couldn’t help it. Surprising. He asked, “Who are you, why should you beat them?”

Those villagers saw a general who was riding on a high-headed horse, and there were so many soldiers around him. His scared face changed a little. A villager ate and said authentically: “Master General, this woman … This woman People pretend to be dumb to beg for food, and we gave her some food to see her pitiful.

Later I heard her talking to the little child, his motherland … uh … she turned out to be a Japanese. These wolf-hearted things have harmed so many people, so we …

He said that his face was flushed with anger, and Yang Ling looked at the woman and the child. His face was green, thin and weak, and he looked pretty, but his face was covered with mud. He was beaten again and swollen, standing there looking at him with a pair of horrified eyes.

Yang Lingjun had a coordinator, and he summoned a question to the Japanese woman. Although the woman was afraid, she heard that the cousin spoke the native language. The courage was a little bit bigger, so she spoke out her situation tremblingly.

It turned out that she belonged to the group of Japanese militants of Naimi Zhengzhi. This time, the Japanese pirates took out their families because they could not stand in Dongying. The number of family members living on the island is more than double the total number of pirates. After the Japanese pirates were annihilated, these old and weak women and wives tried to surrender to other Japanese pirates, but now the Japanese pirates are unfavorable in warfare, and their food reserves are limited. Unless they can fight in battle, they should not do anything at all. When we drove away from the island, we could see the tension of food.

From this woman population, Yang Ling learned that the pirate families could not return to Dongyingdi by boat and simple raft in order not to starve to death. I had to drift down to the mainland, some people drowned in the sea, and fortunately landed because of the same appearance as the Han people, and there are many coastal refugees, mixed in with deaf and dumb. Although they are often recognized, they must not be beaten. There are several times to get something to eat.

Nowadays, more and more pirates have been wiped out, such as Meizhi Zhengzhi and Donghua Lusuke, and more and more pirate families are forced to go ashore and beg for food. Almost all pirate survivors are wandering in coastal cities and counties.

Yang Lingdi’s factory guard apparently paid little attention to these characters. If Yang Ling had not accidentally seen this scene, he still did not know the situation. Yang Ling looked at the thin young woman and her child. I remembered the part of the battle where I died in the battlefield. I remembered the genocidal crimes committed by the pirates and I could not tell whether it was hatred or other emotions.

He glanced at the woman who was pulling the child, with a piece of black on her wrist, and sighed: “The Japanese are fierce and sinful, but they are hard to redeem, but listening to her story, the survivors of the Japanese in the coastal areas of my six provinces are afraid There are not tens of thousands anymore.

After all, my Han people are not tatars or pirates, and they can’t use the methods of extermination of humanity. However, these old and weak women and children do not accomplish this and allow them to wander in this way. Once the people kill people, the people’s customs will be in danger. “

The horseshoe was “stomping” lightly on the ground. Yang Ling thought deeply and put her eyes on the mother and child. They seemed to feel that Yang Ling was a man who could decide their life and death. When Yang Ling’s eyes looked back at them, The young woman suddenly knelt down on the knees of the child and raised her head to Yang Ling “Dong Dong”.

She could n’t speak Chinese, but after all, the begging pity in her eyes understood after all, Yang Ling shook her head and said: “The clerk, in the name of the governor ’s office, ordained the chief ministers of the six provinces and quickly ordered all the prefectures and counties, As well as the village of Baojiazheng, from now on, if any pirate family members are found, they will be sent to the office immediately.

The government should register them and make a unified management, and they should not be allowed to roam. These people …….. to break into laziness, never study. Women and children were sold as rich gentry slaves, and they were sold as military pay. Adult men distributed all of them to the northwest to raise horses and sheep. “

“Yes!” The clerk immediately took out the pen and ink, jotted down, handed Yang Ling to read it, and then sent the post to the governor’s office quickly with the seal. The mother and son were sent to the county government office by Wang He, who was at the helm of the wind.

Looking at their backs, Yang Ling suddenly felt a little confused: “Will the slave trade become popular after this opening? But otherwise, what can be done to deal with this matter in an acceptable way?”

He remembered that pirates had seized Han Chinese from Dongying and Nanyang were slaves, and that the home of the rich and wealthy in Damingdi had long since sold privately sold slaves from foreign countries, such as the Adeni in his house. There are similar foreign beauties in Fufu, how could he be the initiator?

Yang Ling tried to persuade himself, dispelling the hidden guilt of his heart, but he knew clearly in his heart that after all it was a deal under the shadow, an act of the underground kingdom, and he did one thing today, although he saved many lives, But it also allowed a behavior to happen.

Sometimes, a thought, an act, it is difficult to simply define whether it is good or evil, and what it brings is often two kinds of consequences intertwined.

He shook his head and asked Wang He: “Wang County Commander, how many days can the army reach Fuzhou?”

Wang He quickly said: “Adult, after passing through the ancient road, you can reach the boundary of Fuzhou in about six days.”

Yang Ling nodded, Le Ma looked in the direction pointed by Wang He, and secretly said: “I don’t want so much, how can there be so much reason to say? I am going to Fuzhou to kill people now, but if I don’t kill people, it would be impossible for me Who can tell? “
