marquis of jingan

Chapter 416 The time is ripe

In a blink of an eye, nine days passed.

On the ninth day, a blood-stained man walked firmly into the Wang family mansion, and then found the imperial envoy Li Mu in the Wang family mansion. Without saying a word, he knelt down and touched his head to the ground.

"Humble position Ling Su, kowtow to the imperial envoy."

Li Mu looked at Ling Su who had faint blood stains on his clothes, without any expression on his face, he just asked indifferently: "Did Ling Qianhu finish what I told you?"

Ling Su knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said, "Returning to the imperial envoys, people of low rank and others have been running for several days. Although they haven't figured out the exact number of Japanese pirates and their specific residences, it is certain that most of the subordinates of the pirates along the coast of Taizhou Prefecture are at the moment. Not at sea, not on an island..."

Without raising his eyelids, Li Mu asked, "Where is that?"

"Active in Taozhu Town, but they didn't harass the local people, they just lurked in Taozhu area, near the sea of ​​Taozhu, where the Japanese pirates are..."

"The foundation is not shallow, so it can be hidden there without being discovered by the government."

Li Mu looked at Ling Su thoughtfully, and then continued to ask: "Why do you see that?"

Ling Qianhu seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and took out a slightly rough coastal map from his arms, then handed it to Li Mu, pointed to the location marked on the map, and said: "Imperial envoy, please see, there is a map near Taozhu Town." , there are at least seven or eight neighboring houses where strangers have lived recently, and there are quite a few of them.”

"The time when these people entered Taozhu coincided with the time when Japanese pirates attacked Linhai County..."

Li Mu looked calm and said, "Then what about the heads of the three Japanese pirates that I want?"

"Dead men don't speak."

Ling Su knelt on the ground, took a breath, and said, "If the humble officer brings a few heads back, the imperial envoy will inevitably be suspicious. The humble officer has been lurking for a few days near the area where Japanese pirates are active. Together with a few subordinates, It took a lot of effort to catch three alive."

"At this moment, these three Japanese pirates have been brought into Linhai County, waiting for the imperial envoy's arraignment."

Hearing these words, Shizi finally looked up at Ling Su.

He asked slowly, "Alive?"

Ling Su nodded and said, "Two Japanese and one Han."

Li Mu asked again: "Are you a Han Chinese from Taizhou Prefecture?"

Ling Su shook his head and said, "I don't know, the accent doesn't sound like a native of our Taizhou Prefecture. The lowly officials have not interrogated them in detail, but the imperial envoy himself interrogated him."

This sentence is very sensible.

If he didn't ask, it means that the representative gave Li Mu the credit for interrogating the repeat offender.

As the imperial envoy, he bowed his head and thought for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Ling Qianhu has worked hard all the way, let's go back and rest, and bring these three Japanese pirates over. After the official interrogation is true, Lin Haiwei will not be blamed for the ineffectiveness of the battle. Pursue it further."

Ling Su knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.

He touched his forehead to the ground, bowed his head and said: "Master Imperial Envoy, I am willing to join the Anti-Japanese Army as a pawn. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to do my part for the court and Your Majesty!"

This sentence is also very stupid.

Yes, with the performance of Linhaiwei, Li Mu only needs to give a memorial to the imperial court, and the imperial court can completely demote him, a thousand households of Linhaiwei, into a small soldier in the anti-Japanese army, but Ling Su, as a native of Taizhou, personally witnessed Having seen the whole process of forming the Anti-Japanese Army, he knew better than anyone else that the Anti-Japanese Army is not short of pawns, but generals.

A general who can train and lead troops.

After all, Xue Wei, who had just been promoted to the general banner, was just a pawn in Linhaiwei without any position. To say that he learned without a teacher and suddenly became a famous general who trains and leads troops is a bit of a dream.

What the anti-Japanese army urgently needs now is an officer like Ling Su who has experience in leading troops, so that he can quickly form an army and quickly train to produce results...

As for Linhaiwei's bad appearance...

On the premise that there is no better choice, Li Mu has only one Ling Su to choose.

So, three days later, Ling Qianhu took office and became a hundred households in the anti-Japanese army.

Of course, this hundred households were forcibly appointed by Li Mu with the authority of an imperial envoy, without going through the Ministry of War, or even the imperial court.

However, Li Mu, as the emperor's cousin, theoretically speaking, as long as he handed over a piece of paper, the emperor and the court would give him some face. As for the Ministry of War...

The position of Da Chen's Ministry of War is very embarrassing.

Because the local army really has nothing to show for it.

They can't control the Huaihe Navy, and as for the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, it's the Emperor's ban.

Therefore, sometimes, the voice of the Ministry of War of the Great Chen may not be as loud as the dog raised by the Marquis of Anping Zhao.

Moreover, this time Li Mu can make impromptu decisions at the local level, so his appointment is quite effective, and Ling Su is also very face-saving to the imperial envoy. He took over the training of the Anti-Japanese Army.

However, after entering the anti-Japanese army barracks, Ling Baihu soon saw more than a dozen strange weapons that looked almost identical on the school grounds.

Then, he learned the name of this strange weapon from several of his subordinates.

Wolf Whisk...

After spending an afternoon getting familiar with the characteristics and performance of wolf whisks, Ling Baihu left the long spear he had practiced for half his life and started to practice wolf whisks.

…………

With the support of 27 taels of silver from the Wang Family Mansion, the anti-Japanese army took shape very quickly.

In just one month, the number of soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army has reached more than two hundred.

These more than 200 people were left after a large number of eliminations. However, because there is no specific record yet, these two hundred people have not yet been reorganized. They are mainly trained by Ling Su and Xue Wei.

In addition to these two generals in charge of training, there is another special existence in the Anti-Japanese Army.

That is Chang Shi Shen Yi.

The post of Changshi is currently held in Dachen, and only the major palaces have it. However, in the previous dynasty, there was an army commander Shi, who was mainly responsible for the document management of the army, such as the naturalization of soldiers, registration and bookkeeping, etc.

And Shen Yi, the commander of the army, also took part in the logistics work of the anti-Japanese army and some ideological work.

For example, if someone in the Anti-Japanese Army made trouble, someone didn't want to train, or there was a lack of clothing, food, or weapons, most of them were handled by Shen Yi.

After more than a month, Shen Yi became the most prestigious existence in the new army of the Anti-Japanese Army.

This is mainly because of Shen Yi's special status.

He is a Jinshi of the two ranks, and he is naturally a head higher than a warrior. Therefore, whether it is Ling Su or Xue Wei, when they see Shen Yi, they are very polite and even a little cautious. After a long time, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army Subconsciously, he felt that Shen Yi's status in the army was higher than that of these two military trainees.

After a month, the anti-Japanese army has initially formed its combat effectiveness, at least it has become proficient in using things like wolf whisks.

Next, a battle is needed to test the results of the anti-Japanese army training.

After Shen Yi analyzed the current situation of the Anti-Japanese Army in detail, he thought for a long time before finally finding Li Mu who was drinking tea in the backyard of the Wang family mansion.

After seeing Li Mu, Shen Yi coughed and said with a smile: "My lord, we have imprisoned the royal family for more than a month. I think it's time to send them to Jiankang and hand them over to the court for questioning."

Li Mu's eyes lit up, then he looked at Shen Yi and smiled heartily.

"This is a major event. Since it is a major event, His Majesty has already explained it."

The eldest son of Prince Jin's Mansion smiled heartily.

"It's all up to you, Ziheng."
