Chapter 437 The place of righteousness!
Yueqing County is a coastal county under Wenzhou Prefecture.

This county is in Yongjia County, which is the east of Wenzhou Prefecture.

In other words, if you cross Yueqing, you can rush to Wenzhou Fucheng!

Because Shen Yi learned of the news of the Japanese pirates gathering several days in advance, as soon as a large number of Japanese pirates landed in Yueqing, someone rushed to Yongjia to deliver the letter. Zheng Hu, who was in charge of the intelligence of the entire eastern Zhejiang, met in person When he arrived at Shen Yi, he reported to Shen Yi what had happened in Yueqing County.

The man who was born in the inner guard also had a tense face at the moment. He stood in front of Shen Yi, bowed his head deeply and said: "Si Zheng, these Japanese pirates landed on the coast of Yueqing, and they killed everyone they saw. Then burn it, when our people delivered the letter, at least a dozen families who hadn't had time to move died at the hands of these pirates!"

Zheng Hu's face was quite ugly, he bowed his head deeply and said: "It's completely inhumane to attack unarmed people!"

Shen Yi's expression was not good, he looked at Zheng Hu and asked, "Can you confirm the exact number?"

Zheng Hu bowed his head and said, "I can't tell the exact number of people, but this batch of Japanese pirates who landed, at least there should be more than 2000 people..."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and asked again: "Have they... attacked Yueqing County?"

"No."

Zheng Hu immediately said: "These pirates don't have the habit of attacking cities, and generally they don't attack cities, but they will inquire about good news in advance, enter some towns without walls to plunder, and kidnap wealthy households in the towns, now..."

"Now that some of the early rice plants have already seen their ears, these Japanese pirates may still ruin the fields..."

The main crop in Wenzhou Prefecture is rice, which is divided into first-season rice and second-season rice. The first-season rice means one crop a year, which is transplanted in April and harvested in August.

Shen Yi set off from Jiankang to the south with Li Mu in April, and it has been more than two months now. It is already July of the eighth year of Hongde, and some early rice has indeed come to the earing season.

Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Hu's shoulder, and said slowly: "You lead people to keep watching, and report the Japanese pirates' movements at any time!"

Zheng Hu sighed, and said in a deep voice, "This subordinate understands!"

After that, he turned around and strode away.

After Zheng Hu left, Shen Yi sat alone in his tent and thought for a while, then he sorted out his thoughts and went to Shuai Zhang to meet Li Mu.

Right now, Li Mu is sleeping.

He just rushed back from Funing yesterday, he didn't sleep all night, and discussed with Shen Yi for half a day, he was exhausted, and now he was catching up on sleep, sleeping soundly.

To be honest, after more than two months, this Prince Jin's son has already become quite haggard as far as the naked eye can see.

After all, going out to do things is not as pampered as he was in Jiankang, and during this period of time he ransacked homes and killed people everywhere, and he also suffered a lot of pressure from within the court. It is impossible to rest well on weekdays.

But there was no way, the matter was too urgent, Shen Yi still woke up the imperial envoy, and when Li Mu woke up in a daze, Shen Yi sighed and said: "My son...something happened."

These five words made Li Mu wake up immediately. He quickly rubbed his eyes, suppressed his drowsiness, and said, "What happened? The Japanese pirates did something?"

"Ah."

Shen Yi sighed, and said: "I just received the news that the Japanese pirates have landed in Yueqing, and are now wreaking havoc in Yueqing, and are rushing towards Yongjia."

Hearing this, Li Mu jumped up from the bed without further ado. He said while putting on his clothes, "Then what are you waiting for?! Ziheng, let Ling Su leave the camp immediately. Let's go to Yueqing now to drive out the pirates!"

Shen Yi took a deep look at the prince of Jin, and after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I'm going to find Ling Su right away!"

Seeing that Shen Yi turned his head to leave, Li Mu also seemed to feel that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand to pull Shen Yi's sleeve, and sighed slightly: "Forget it, I am an imperial envoy who doesn't know anything about military affairs, so I won't command the army. Ziheng You go to discuss with Ling Su, and after you come to a conclusion, just come and let me know."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and said: "The prince might as well sleep for a while, I'll go see Ling Qianhu right now."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yi cupped his hands towards Li Mu, turned around and left the handsome tent, and then went to Ling Su's tent.

At this moment, Xue Wei was also in Ling Su's tent. The "old leader" of Linhaiwei was talking to Xue Wei. After seeing Shen Yi walking in, the two of them immediately stopped talking and turned to Shen Yi at the same time. Clasping fists and saluting.

"Shen Sizheng!"

Shen Yi bowed his hand to return the gift, then looked at Ling Su, and said slowly: "There is a sudden war in Yueqing, I was ordered by the imperial envoy to discuss countermeasures with Ling Qianhu."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xue Wei who was standing beside him, and continued: "It just so happens that Xue Baihu is also there, so you can listen to it too."

Then, Shen Yi roughly told the current situation of Yueqing to the two current commanders of the anti-Japanese army, then he looked at Ling Su and said: "Ling Qianhu, in your opinion, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. How should we deal with it?"

Ling Su lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Sizheng, Ling wants to ask, are the Japanese pirates just looting in Yueqing, or are they going all the way west to Yongjia?"

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "There is a high probability that he will come to Yongjia."

There is a high probability that the unusual gathering of Japanese pirates this time has a certain political meaning in it.

Even if they didn't hurt Li Mu, who was an imperial envoy, they definitely wanted to give the anti-Japanese army a face, so there was a high probability that they would come to Yongjia, which is the prefectural city of Wenzhou.

Even if you come for a stroll, you still have to come.

"That…"

Ling Su lowered his head slightly and said, "If you are outnumbered, then we can set up an ambush in Yongjia County, so..."

"All right."

He spoke half a sentence before being interrupted by Shen Yi.

Master Shen stared at Ling Su, and said slowly: "My opinion is that we should leave for Yueqing immediately."

"We are the royal teacher of the imperial court."

Shen Yi's tone was serious: "As the royal teacher of the imperial court, how can there be any reason to just sit back and watch the people suffer and ignore it?"

"It's impossible for me to watch the people of Yueqing being looted and killed by Japanese pirates like this."

Shen Yi looked at Ling Su and said in a low voice, "I believe Ling Qianhu doesn't want to see it either."

Ling Su opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Xue Wei's face turned red, he patted his chest heavily, and said, "Si Zheng, I'm going to gather my brothers and get ready to go!"

Xue Wei was about to turn around and walk out of the tent, when Shen Yi grabbed his sleeve, then looked up at Ling Su, frowned and said: "You are a soldier, Ling Qianhu is your boss, you must obey your boss' orders!"

Ling Su took a deep breath.

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Shen Sizheng, what does the imperial envoy mean?"

"The imperial envoy means that you and I discuss the decision."

Shen Yi said silently: "My opinion is to rescue Yueqing immediately."

Ling Qianhu sighed: "If we go straight over, not only will we not be able to set up an ambush, but we may also be set up by Japanese pirates. We have a small number of people, and most of them are recruits..."

"Where righteousness is, you must go."

Shen Yi still insisted on his opinion, and said solemnly: "And the people from the Dibao Division are watching the movements of the Japanese pirates, they can't ambush us."

"Then go!"

Ling Su gritted his teeth hard.

"The point of righteousness is that Si Zheng, the two top Jinshi, has not been persuaded, and Ling, a martial artist, is even less able to be persuaded!"

He looked at Xue Wei and shouted in a low voice.

"Order to set off!"
