however.
The Southern Zhili Army has a natural fear of Japanese pirates.
In the past record against Japanese pirates, they lost about eight out of ten battles and rarely won. After a long period of war, the South Zhili army developed a collective fear of Japanese pirates, which gradually penetrated into their bones.
Especially when the troops were tired and ready to sleep, they were attacked by Japanese pirates.
The camp immediately fell into chaos!
Most of Song Wei's confidants were placed in different places. There were only a few confidants in this army. Even if he gave orders, the army would be in chaos.
The Japanese pirates who entered the camp carried long bows on their backs and held Japanese knives. They were not wearing armor. They were in teams of three, killing people like hemp.
When the killing goes crazy, he holds a knife in both hands and chops randomly.
The Ming army, which was obviously heavily armed, did not resist at all and ran for their lives in all directions. They were killed and scattered in an instant, and they were completely defeated.
There were screams everywhere, and Song Wei didn't know how many Japanese pirates there were.
His orders were not listened to.
"Come here, carry my banner and follow me!"
It is almost impossible to turn defeat into victory.
The only thing Song Wei can do now is to contain the defeated soldiers as much as possible.
Dragging his sick body and holding a big flag, he shuttled through the camp, trying to accommodate the defeated soldiers as much as possible.
I also saw Japanese pirates with my own eyes.
A Japanese pirate was shirtless, holding a knife in both hands, looking like he was slashing wildly. Four or five Ming soldiers were cut down by him, and he actually came towards the banner to kill.
Song Wei's guards were all frightened. They were all from South Zhili and had a natural fear of Japanese pirates.
call out!
Song Wei used his bow and shot an arrow, hitting him in the shoulder and killing the Japanese pirate.
Only then can we take control of the situation.
"This general is here, follow me to form a formation!"
Song Wei roared.
"Sir, something is wrong with these Japanese pirates."
A man from Suzhou Prefecture ran over in fear and said, "Sir, these Japanese pirates are not afraid of death. They don't care for money but only their lives. They are very different from the previous wars."
Song Wei also saw it.
He suddenly looked at the hundred households: "Where is your gun?"
"Sir, it's lost!" He said matter-of-factly. He had already fled for his life. Who cares about the gun? The armor was all thrown away.
The Japanese pirates came with guns blazing!
Song Wei shouted loudly: "Everyone protect the firecrackers!"
But the camp was in a mess and there were shouts and shouts everywhere. Who would listen to Song Wei?
Song Wei made a decisive decision: "Destroy the lead! Quick!"
Even if the Japanese pirates took away the firecrackers, they also took away a lot of junk.
The lead is in the hands of the military officials, who have been in the middle army with Song Wei.
"Sir, if there is no lead, the muskets in our hands are useless!" The military officer meant that with bayonets, we are no match for the Japanese pirates.
"Just obey your orders!"
Song Wei was worried that they wouldn't be able to keep the lead.
The Japanese pirates will attack the camp again for the sake of lead.
It is better to destroy them all in front of the Japanese pirates to stop them from attacking the camp again and to protect themselves.
The battle lasted for more than an hour. Song Wei summoned the remaining troops and formed a circular formation, and the Japanese pirates retreated.
Song Weiqiang supported the sick body and waited for statistics.
It wasn't until daybreak that the battle damage was tallied.
About 2000 people were damaged in the battle, 400 were missing, [-] sets of armor were lost, [-] fire guns were lost, and some other equipment was lost.
puff!
Song Wei opened his mouth and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
A great defeat, a humiliating defeat!
His first battle in southern Zhili was defeated so completely!
It's all his fault, leading the army to run around like headless flies, which made the army exhausted and unable to fight anymore, so they were defeated.
It's also his fault that he didn't see through the Japanese pirates' plan and fell into their scheme.
This battle was not lost unjustly.
"My lord!" his general exclaimed.
Song Wei waved his hand: "One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. The general is incompetent. Therefore, the result of defeat will be borne entirely by this general!"
He didn't make excuses after defeat like other generals.
He also wanted to find it, but the problem was that there were eunuchs, civil servants, and spies from the Military Discipline Department in the army. It was impossible to hide such a huge defeat.
He is the brother of the Marquis of Xining, His Majesty's confidant, and a relative!
If he loses, he loses, and he can afford the consequences!
Just like Yu Jin and Pound were captured at the same time, Yu Jin could surrender and live, but Pound had no choice but to die because Yu Jin could afford the consequences.
Song Wei is like this.
"Let the sergeant rest for two hours, then bury the pot and cook. After dawn, collect the bodies of the brothers and bury them on the spot!"
Song Wei insisted: "After dawn, I will lecture you personally!"
He couldn't hold it anymore.
This illness came at an unfortunate time. He was extremely weak, and his ability to survive until now was all because of his resentment.
This defeat must be a stain on his life.
He still remembered that when he left the capital, the emperor said in the Fengtian Hall that he hoped that the Xining Marquis Mansion would have two princes from one family!
As a result, the Duke had no hope and was defeated in the first battle.
When all the generals left, Song Wei had tears in his eyes. He had made a mistake since he came to Songjiang Mansion with his own will!
He is more worried about Nanjing City!
I hope Yuande will be faster, and please Ren Li take charge of Nanjing City as soon as possible!
The Japanese pirates did not come for looting, but for a larger purpose, or in other words, a more far-reaching political purpose.
His Majesty handed over Nanzhili to him. He was unworthy of His grace!
vomit!
Song Wei vomited another mouthful of blood, his throat tasted fishy and sweet, and he forced himself to swallow it: "I would rather die than defend South Zhili!"
The medical officer came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Sir, a batch of medicinal materials have been robbed. Your medicine is missing a few flavors. You can use it for now. After daybreak, I will go into the mountains to collect it."
The medical officer did not dare to mention Qingpu, fearing that Song Wei would vomit blood.
Song Wei drank the medicine and fell asleep.
Two hours later.
He was woken up by the medical officer, who told him: "You need to rest more. Such exertion will easily damage your body."
"A defeated general has disgraced his family, how can he have a future?"
Song Wei exhaled a thick breath.
He held on to his tired body and walked out of the simple house, only to hear faint cries.
He walked near the camp. The camp was devastated, with blood everywhere and corpses everywhere. The weather was hot, mosquitoes were flying around on the corpses, and there was even a faint smell.
As Song Wei approached the camp, his crying became louder and louder.
"Is the meal ready?"
The soldier in charge of the cooking said it was ready.
"Let all the soldiers come over to eat, weed them, and sit around. I will talk to them."
After half an hour.
5000 people, and 400 people were gathered back after dawn. The rest who were missing must be dead.
Sitting on the ground, holding bowls in their hands, looking at the bodies of their colleagues, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Crying is easily contagious.
The entire military formation was filled with mournful cries and howls.
Song Wei sat in the middle, also holding a bowl. He usually wore official robes and was spotless.
Today, official robes are stained with blood.
He didn't comb his hair or wash his face, and he didn't care if there were lice crawling on his head.
"Have you cried enough?" Song Wei asked in a low voice.
But some soldiers looked at him resentfully, "Your father and brothers are not dead, so of course you won't be sad!"
"Crying, can you make my comrades come back to life?"
"Crying, can you cry the Japanese pirates to death?"
"Crying, can it solve the problem?"
Song Wei's words touched his heart, and the soldiers held back their tears and looked at him with some resentment.
"The general is also sad."
"These are all my soldiers. Some of them were personally recruited by me, some were personally drawn by me from various guard posts, and some were brought by me from Beizhili!"
"Every one of them is the hard work of this general!"
"This general can call each of them by name!"
"When I came to Nanjing, I lived and ate with you. They spent more time together day and night than with my own women."
Song Wei roared: "They died, won't I feel sad?"
The resentful soldier's eyes suddenly softened, filled with grief.
"I especially remember that when I first organized the army, the people laughed at me behind my back, saying that I was born in the Marquis Mansion and could not bear the hardship!"
"But during the seven months I spent in South Zhili, I ate, slept, and trained with the soldiers every day. Did I ever complain that it was hard?"
"no!"
"This general is indeed not a good general, but I am willing to share joys and sorrows with my soldiers. You should see that!"
"They died, doesn't the general feel uncomfortable?"
"Most of them were recruited by General Ben to join the army. Now they have died so cowardly. How will I face their families!"
Song Wei had tears in his eyes: "This battle is my fault!"
"This general was blinded by hatred and led you around like headless flies, which led to the defeat of this battle!"
"It's not the fault of the guards, it's the incompetence of the villains." A soldier cried.
But this time the tears were tears of regret.
Many soldiers followed and shouted.
The morale of the military was mobilized.
Song Wei waved his hand: "No, you are all good, you are my best soldiers, Song Wei."
"The Japanese pirates attacked the camp last night, but it didn't completely collapse. It shows that you still have our generals in your hearts. These seven months of training have been very effective!"
"This battle is the result of Song Wei's inability to lead his troops, which is your fault!"
"You are all elites of the Ming Dynasty!"
As he said that, Song Wei stood up and pointed at the corpses everywhere: "Look, these people are all our brothers! They are our colleagues!"
"Now he is massacred by Japanese pirates and lies here."
"Tell me, general, how to recover this blood debt!"
"Revenge, pay with blood!" The soldiers' eyes were red, and more and more soldiers shouted, and all the soldiers stood up and roared loudly.
"it is good!"
Song Wei also screamed: "Revenge when there is a hatred, blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"I'm going to be ashamed!"
"Do you dare to follow me?"
"If we encounter Japanese pirates again, I will be the first to rush forward. I will also use my sword to kill them. Do you dare to follow me and kill the Japanese pirates?"
This lecture was mainly to restore confidence to the soldiers.
Use the fire of hatred to pour out the iron-blooded ambition of the soldiers.
Song Wei wanted to avenge his embarrassment and wash away his stain, but he couldn't do it on his own and had no time to mobilize troops from other places. He could only rely on these defeated soldiers and remnant generals.
Then only by stimulating the bloody spirit in their hearts, reducing their fear of Japanese pirates, and amplifying their hatred of Japanese pirates can they fight.
It is not an easy task to unite a group of defeated troops who have no fighting spirit.
"Revenge when there is an enemy, pay with blood!"
The roar was loud and powerful.
Song Wei knew that this army could fight again.
He ordered the soldiers to eat first, and after they were full, they would bury their comrades on the spot.
The medical officer who came back from collecting medicine was surprised when he heard the loud roar. How could the defeated and remnant generals who had so little fighting spirit last night suddenly burst out with such terrifying cohesion?
The whole army spent a day training and counting their equipment.
At dawn the next day, we returned to Qingpu.
Song Wei concluded that the Japanese pirates were hiding in Qingpu and had not entered Suzhou Prefecture.
The Japanese pirates took away the guns and armor, and also disabled Song Weijun. They probably wanted to do something bigger in Nanzhili.
Along the way, he discovered a strange situation. Many people in the gentry's village had disappeared, but the village was intact.
This is the case in Qingpu, Qiandun, and Zhuangzi in the middle of Dianshan Lake.
Speeding all the way to Qingpu.
Song Wei ordered the magistrate of Qingpu to open the city gate and let the army enter.
The Qingpu magistrate glanced at Song Wei's army from the top of the city.
They were all crooked, with no armor, and some weapons were slung, carried, dragged, and some were not held. Song Wei, who led the troops, had lost his official hat and his hair was disheveled, like a dog in a defeated army.
At first glance, it looks like a defeated army.
The county magistrate's name is Wei Kuang, who was born in Changzhou Prefecture.
Wei Kuang stood on the top of the city: "Sir, the Japanese pirates are overflowing now, and the people in the city are very frightened. Please don't lead the army in, so as not to harm the people."
Song Wei shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, don't talk nonsense!"
Wei Kuang frowned slightly.
Anyone can see that Song Wei's army is like a lost dog.
Judging from Song Wei's stern look, he must be extremely afraid of Japanese pirates, so he wanted to enter the city as soon as possible to prevent being raided by Japanese pirates again.
"grown ups……"
"Stop talking nonsense, I am ordering you as the garrison of Nanzhili to open the city gate!"
Song Wei looked stern and said: "If you are even half a minute slower, I will kill you directly. If you report to the center again that you are afraid of fighting, I will kill you!"
Wei Kuang's face turned bitter. Are you afraid of Japanese pirates?
After some consideration.
Still slowly opened the city gate.
Song Wei gave the military commanders a wink. He entered the city first, and the others quickly seized the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, he, Song Wei, ran into the city gate first. Several soldiers fought with him for space, and Song Wei even whipped him a few times: "I will go first, do you have any rules?"
Wei Kuang, who was standing on the top of the city, sighed slightly when he saw such a scene.
However, as soon as Song Wei entered the city gate, the few soldiers who were fighting against Song Wei took control of the defenders.
"Sir, are you really going to kill me? What if it's one of our own?" A hundred households asked in a low voice.
"no!"
Song Wei was very sure.
Sure enough, Baihu who took action came over quickly: "Sir, it is indeed not the Ming army. I can't understand what they said!"
"Really Japanese?"
Song Wei's eyes became darker: "Control the city gate and don't let anyone discover it."
The army entered the city quickly, and there were fortifications in the doorways, so they entered the city not very quickly.
Song Wei was worried about an ambush on the city gate tower, so he asked the army to control the city gate and withdraw from the city if there were any changes.
Wei Kuang obviously wanted to eat Song Wei's entire army.
Let Song Wei's entire army enter the city.
Wei Kuang walked down the tower and saluted Song Wei.
"Weizhi County, will the Japanese pirates come to Qingpu again?" Song Wei looked frightened.
There was a sneer on Wei Kuang's lips: "Song Guards, don't worry, the Japanese pirates have been repelled by Xia Guan, and they should not invade Qingpu again."
Song Wei found blood on the road.
Wei Kuang said: "Oh, it's all the result of the concerted efforts of soldiers and civilians all over the city. Some people were injured by the arrows of the Japanese pirates, and they didn't have time to clean themselves. Please stay at the county government office."
"It's okay if he doesn't come, it's okay if he doesn't come." Song Wei murmured to himself.
Wei Kuang asked about the battle situation.
Song Wei was vague: "There are many people in our army. It would be unsafe to enter through only one door. We should let them enter through the other three doors and come in quickly."
"This……"
Wei Kuang hesitated slightly: "If the four doors are opened at the same time, it might be dangerous."
"Then throw away the people outside..."
Song Wei realized that he had made a mistake and smiled bitterly: "I am mainly worried about Japanese pirate spies sneaking into the city and causing unnecessary trouble to the city. I have no other intention."
Wei Kuang really didn't realize that the Southern Zhili garrison, which had made drastic reforms since taking office, was actually a loser.
You can understand it if you think about it. After all, he was born in the Marquis of Xining. How could such a pampered nobleman endure the hardships of war?
What's more, the Japanese pirates were elusive and extremely powerful. They were beaten to the point where they were all strewn with teeth. It's understandable that they are now as fearful as tigers.
"Open the west gate as well and let my army enter the city quickly."
They entered the city from the south gate.
Wei Kuang hesitated slightly, but Song Wei's eyes became sharper and he agreed out of desperation.
Song Wei was escorted by the army to the county government office.
The city of Qingpu is completely silent.
Do you think it's strange that such a large army entered the city and there weren't even any curious people?
Standing at the gate of the county government office, Song Wei exclaimed: "Wang Mu, where is Wang Mu? The general's royal flag is on him!"
Upon hearing the king's order, Wei Kuang's mouth filled with fluid.
If you get the king's order, you can mobilize the troops from South Zhili, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang.
"Wang Mu!"
Song Wei roared.
But the servant said: "Back to my lord, Wang Mu has entered the city through the west gate."
Snapped!
Song Wei slapped him across the face: "It's all because of you, you bastard. You had to squeeze in and steal Wang Mu's way. If the king's flag is lost, I will kill you first!"
The servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"You go in first, make the bed for me, and then ask the maid to fill the bath water. I haven't bathed in a few days, and I need to take a bath soon! Go quickly!"
Song Wei kicked him.
The servant crawled into the county government office.
Wei Kuang's pupils shrank. There were heavy troops ambushed in the county government office. If this person went in, he wouldn't be discovered, right?
"Wei Kuang, I will return to the center and will definitely commend your achievements to His Majesty."
Wei Kuang even said he didn't dare.
Song Wei shouted again: "Why are you so slow? Are you not afraid of Japanese pirates? Are you risking your life?"
"Sir, that city gate is mostly fortified, and it's really difficult to get out." A soldier coming from the west gate reported.
Song Wei suppressed his anger and said to Wei Kuang: "Open the other two doors and let the general's soldiers come in quickly."
"Sir..." Wei Kuang wanted to persuade.
"Stop talking!"
Song Wei shouted fiercely: "The king's destiny talisman is lost, I will chop off your dog's head first!"
He passed directly by Wei Kuang, gave orders, opened the other two gates, and let his soldiers enter the city.
Wei Kuang frowned slightly. Song Wei had been in Nanzhili for seven months. He was well-mannered, methodical and meticulous, and was praised by others.
Why did he suddenly become so violent and arrogant?
Are you really scared by the Japanese pirates?
"grown ups!"
The soldier who was kicked into the county government office ran out: "Didn't you find the maid?"
"You can't handle a damn little thing?" Song Wei kicked him.
It was Wei Kuang who helped pull him down.
The soldier knelt on the ground and sobbed.
"The city has just experienced a war, and we are worried that the female family members will be killed, so they are all hiding. Let's go find them in this county." Wei Kuang said and entered the county government office.
Song Wei winked at the soldier.
Several retinues followed Wei Kuang into the county government office.
One hundred households lowered their voices and said, "Sir, we have controlled all four city gates, but the streets are quiet and no Japanese pirates have been found."
"It should be in people's homes. Don't worry for now. Control the arsenal first, collect kerosene, and wait until night to start."
At this time, Wang Mu quickly ran over and lowered his voice: "Sir, we have found traces of the Japanese pirates."
Of course he carries the royal flag with him, how could he give it to someone else?
"where?"
"There should be no common people in the city, they are all Japanese pirates, inside the houses." Wang Mu and Song Wei came in together. On the way to the county government office, they dispersed with the large troops and searched around.
"Go find kerosene and collect anything that can light a fire. We'll do it at night."
Song Wei is going to have a fire attack!
He beat Wang Mu before Shi Shiran entered the county government office.
Wang Mu grimaced in pain and said, "Master, why don't you save some hands? It hurts so much, Siha!"
Song Wei was thinking, a snake can't survive without a head.
Japanese pirates must have a leader.
They shouldn't live in residential buildings, but in county offices?
Then Wei Kuang is an official, so how can he collude with the Japanese pirates?Did he have an affair with the Japanese pirates, or was he also forced to do so?
Song Wei is relatively safe now.
He deliberately said the king's order flag so that Wei Kuang could steal or rob it. At least he would be safe during the day.
"Wei Kuang should be the one who can make the decision. He directly decided to open the four doors and let us in. This shows that he has been colluding with the Japanese pirates for a long time."
Although Song Wei was taking a bath, he kept weighing the pros and cons: "Then the weapons the Japanese pirates robbed should be in Qingpu City."
"Why didn't they invade Suzhou Prefecture and plunder it?"
"You crippled our army, but returned to Qingpu, as if you were waiting for some order?"
"Order?"
"This Japanese pirate invasion was planned by someone!"
"Who is the envoy? What is the purpose?"
Song Wei felt as if he had touched the context of this matter, but suddenly realized something: "Did the confession of money arouse the opposition of the Jiangnan gentry?"
"Or, Wang Hong was killing people in southern Zhili, so the Japanese invaders invaded the border and forced the emperor to execute Wang Hong?"
Suddenly!
Song Wei shuddered!
This is a war that is more political than military!
It is definitely not the Japanese pirates that appear on the surface.
And he was just a small figure in this war. The emperor and the Jiangnan gentry were playing chess!
Snapped!
He slapped himself: "Don't think so wildly! Just think about this battle!"
Nanzhili is a very complicated place.
He is an honorable noble, and when he comes to Nanzhili to take charge of the army, he must not get involved in politics, because the emperor likes pure soldiers and hates soldiers participating in politics. This is a taboo.
Therefore, he doesn't think about things that have nothing to do with him.
Let Wang Hong worry about it.
"Although Qingpu is rich, the best house is the county government office."
What haven’t you seen or played with Japanese pirates?
No matter how nice the house is, they have burned it down.
On the contrary, the Japanese pirates have no power, especially the Japanese pirate leaders. They are just thieves. Without power, they will crave power.
Therefore, in their eyes, the best place to live is the county government office.
Maybe he would even put on the official robe of a county magistrate and handle public cases at the county government office.
"Lai Liu came in to check it out and said there were soldiers inside."
"These soldiers probably didn't murder me."
"It's to protect an important person."
Whoa!
Song Wei stood up from the tub and subconsciously called for someone to come in and help him wipe it.
"Where's the maid?"
Wei Kuang also came from a wealthy family, and a maid trained by his family would definitely not leave after pouring hot water, unless she was Wei Kuang's real wife.
Even if she is a concubine, she should serve her here before leaving.
Even if Song Wei made some unspeakable requests, Wei Kuang's concubine did not dare to refuse.
However, the maid who served the bath disappeared.
Song Wei recalled the appearance of the maid.
Although he didn't take a closer look, at a glance, he could vaguely see the plateau red on the face covered with powder.
The maids of wealthy families are all fair and beautiful, and the blush on their faces is mostly caused by wind-blown skin and lack of timely skin care.
That means that this maid is a Japanese pirate.
Song Wei's eyes lit up: "It takes no effort at all to get it."
He wiped himself, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom. Wei Kuang was already waiting not far away.
"Have they all entered the city?"
But Wei Kuang said that before he finished entering, the sun was setting in the west and the sunset was reflected on the horizon.
"Urge me again. Everyone must enter the city before dark. As soon as it gets dark, the city gates will be closed and no one will care about the outside!" Song Wei ordered.
Then he went to the inner hall, where Wei Kuang served him carefully.
"Weizhi County, your family members are in the hall?" Song Wei asked in surprise.
"Xiaguan's family is in his hometown, not in the inner hall."
"Then why are you following? Go and manage the city defense. I don't need you to serve me here." Song Wei sent him away.
But Wei Kuang refused to leave and made excuses to stay here.
Do you want to see the Wang Ming flag?
He was probably also keeping an eye on Song Wei, worried that Song Wei would find out that there was still a group of people living in the county government office.
From time to time he glanced at the sun.
They are all waiting for dark to see who is more skilled.
Song Weiwei was lying on the collapse, looking at Wei Kuang: "Wei Zhixian, do I still need you to take care of me when I'm sleeping?"
Wei Kuang smiled bitterly.
"Are you waiting for me to fall asleep and take my head?"
"what?"
Wei Kuang was startled: "This official only cares about you, how dare you murder you?"
"is it?"
Song Wei smiled and said: "Who is the maid pouring water?"
Suddenly, Wei Kuang's expression changed sharply, and he immediately knew that something had been exposed.
He actually rushed towards Song Wei as fast as he could.
There was a dagger hidden in the wide sleeves, and it was stabbed towards Song Wei!
Click!
Song Wei was a military commander after all, so he took advantage of the situation and hid.
He took the opportunity to grab Wei Kuang's hand and broke it off, causing the dagger to fall on the bed.
Song Wei grabbed the dagger with his other hand and put it against Wei Kuang's throat.
"Can't hold back so quickly? County magistrate Wei?" Song Wei opened his mouth, revealing a row of yellow teeth.
I took a shower and didn't brush my teeth.
"You, when did you see through it?" Wei Kuang wanted to struggle, but the tip of the knife pierced into the flesh and blood overflowed. He did not dare to move.
"What do you think?" Song Wei changed his posture.
"That maid exposed her secret?"
Wei Kuang couldn't figure out how Song Wei saw through him?
and many more!
Song Wei's performance was completely different from what was rumored!
However, the current Song Wei is the real Song Wei, which means that Song Wei has been pretending!
I have been pretending since I entered Qingpu City.
"Have you known for a long time that the Japanese pirates were hiding in Qingpu City?" Wei Kuang was shocked.
At first he thought that Song Wei knew about it when he came from Huating.
On second thought, I probably found out after the attack.
Song Wei looked at him with a high look: "You are so smart, why don't you want to serve the country?"
"Serve the country? Humph!"
Wei Kuang snorted coldly: "If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you. Anyway, I won't go to Huangquan Road to wait for you."
Seeing him looking like he was about to kill him, Song Wei smiled.
"Who else lives in this county government office?" Song Wei asked with a smile: "Let me guess, is he the leader of the Japanese pirates?"
"The maid who takes care of my bath is the leader's concubine..."
"No, it's his daughter, right?"
Wei Kuang said nothing, but it was obvious that Song Wei had guessed correctly.
"You are waiting for it to get dark, so why shouldn't I, general, be waiting for it to get dark?"
"Don't scream. If you dare to scream, this knife will go in."
"Why don't we give it a try, which one of us is faster?"
Song Wei smiled ferociously.
I had a day off yesterday and I am mostly recovered from my illness.
Wei Kuang said, "Song Shou, you have no chance of winning."
"Your only chance of winning is to wait until dark, take me down when I'm not prepared, and seize this noble man from the county government."
"But you didn't hold your temper."
"One wrong step, one wrong step after another, and you have no hope of winning."
Wei Kuang was very ambitious and even helped Song Wei plan.
"is it?"
Song Wei sneered: "You can't decide my general's chances of winning."
"Song Shoubei, if you had a 100% chance of winning, you wouldn't be grinding your teeth here with me."
Wei Kuang sees things very clearly.
He also saw through Song Wei's hesitation, and he seized on Song Wei's weakness to seek a chance for himself.
"Do you know why I'm talking nonsense?"
Wei Kuang really knew: "You want to control the arsenal, raise kerosene, and launch a fire attack after dark."
This is the only way to completely eliminate Japanese pirates!
Song Wei was slightly shocked, how could such a talented person rebel against the Ming Dynasty?
"But have you ever thought about it?"
"Since the Japanese pirates dare to station here, they will be prepared for fire attacks."
"After all, the world of Japanese pirates is the sea. Once ashore, they can't survive and can only survive by being cautious."
Wei Kuang said quietly: "There is no fire oil in Qingpu City, how can you attack with fire?"
"If we fight in the streets, one Japanese pirate can be worth ten. With Song Guards, can you beat the Japanese pirates who are not afraid of death with the thousands of defeated soldiers in your hands?"
No!
Song Wei's face darkened: "You deliberately let me in just to plot the equipment in my hands?"
Wei Kuang refused to say this.
Song Wei was also confused. How could he annihilate the Japanese pirates without kerosene?
Full of confidence, he fell into trouble again.
"Song Shouwei, why don't you put down the knife."
"Cooperate with us and I will guarantee your official position."
"Not only that, but it also guarantees that you will win consecutive battles and gain His Majesty's favor."
Wei Kuang made an unintended plan to drag Song Wei into the water.
"Tell me about it," Song Wei said.
Wei Kuang was also considering whether he should reveal some plans to Song Wei?
"Song Shoubei, this is not the way to talk, right?"
Wei Kuang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. No one wanted to die.
What's more, if a person like him was afraid of death, how could he end up in such a situation?
Song Wei put down the dagger.
Wei Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, touched the wound on his throat, looked at the blood, and wiped it with a silk handkerchief: "Song Shoubei, cooperating with the lower official is your wisest decision."
"I have a few questions to ask you. After asking them clearly, I will consider whether to cooperate?" Song Wei said expressionlessly.
Wei Kuang frowned slightly: "You ask."
"This Japanese pirate invasion was carefully planned, right? What's the purpose?"
Seeing Song Wei being so straightforward, Wei Kuang frowned and said, "Song Shoubei, this matter has nothing to do with you..."
"This general is guarding Nanzhili, you say it has nothing to do with it?"
Song Wei said angrily: "Songjiang Mansion was slaughtered by Japanese pirates, and the central government held them responsible. How can I be able to survive alone?"
Wei Kuang thought for a moment and then sighed: "Yes, it was carefully planned."
"As long as you cooperate with us, we will give you a lot of achievements, making the center trust you even more."
"It's over?" Song Wei thought that Wei Kuang had said nothing.
"This is all I have to say, no more can be said."
These words coincided with what Song Wei thought.
It's almost equal to nonsense.
Song Wei asked again: "What can I get?"
"Promote an official and become a noble!"
"By you?"
Song Wei sneered: "Do you know how many soldiers the center can send?"
"Sir, can the Ming army catch us?"
Wei Kuang sneered: "But if we go to the sea, who can find us?"
This is true.
The hub is out of ships.
For the first time, he was so eager to build a navy.
"We can give you a lot of military exploits for the defense. With these military exploits, you will naturally rise up." Wei Kuang said.
Song Wei sarcastically said: "Is this how you were promoted to county magistrate?"
Wei Kuang's expression changed slightly and he did not want to talk further: "Sir, we are discussing your matter."
"You are not qualified to talk to me. Go and call the leader of the Japanese pirates. I will have a good talk with him."
Wei Kuang's expression changed: "Master Guard, you don't really want to cooperate with us, do you?"
"Isn't this general sincere enough?"
Song Wei's face was ferocious: "I was born in the Marquis of Xining Mansion, my elder brother is the Marquis of Xining! My father is the Marquis of Xining! My ancestor is also the Marquis of Xining!"
"This general's biological sister serves His Majesty!"
"I have served His Majesty for nine years!"
"How can you, a fool like you, instigate rebellion against me? With a bunch of gangsters like you, how can you give me the title of Duke?"
puff!
Song Wei directly inserted the dagger into Wei Kuang's chest.
Wei Kuang was in disbelief and pointed at Song Wei: "You, you..."
"You piece of shit."
"I just wanted to test your tone, but you didn't know anything."
"Still pretending to be here, General!"
Song Wei asked him: "Do you know who is planning the Japanese pirates' invasion?"
"What's the whole plan? What's the purpose?"
"do you know?"
"You are a small county magistrate, you know nothing!"
Pooh!
Song Wei took a mouthful of thick phlegm and sprayed it on Wei Kuang's face.
Pfft!
Wei Kuang fell from the stool to the ground, his eyes widened, and there was a thick mouth of phlegm hanging between his eyebrows.
"Come here, why is this fucking bed so hard? Find me a soft bed!" Song Wei yelled exaggeratedly.
His followers came in and saw Wei Kuang lying on the ground twitching.
People are not dead yet.
Afraid of him screaming, I gagged her mouth. It was still a long time before death, so let him enjoy the pleasure of death.
"Lai Liu, what can you hear?" Song Wei asked seriously.
Lai Liu was the soldier who was beaten and scolded into the county government. He was a detective and was good at investigating.
"Go back, sir, in the west wing." Lai Liu's nose and face were bruised and swollen, all because of Song Wei's beating.
Song Wei patted him on the shoulder: "You have done a great job this time."
"How many brothers do we have?" Song Wei asked.
"Sir, there are twenty people who entered the county government office."
Song Wei looked at Lai Liu. Lai Liu didn't know how many people there were in the west wing, but there were definitely more than them.
"Let's bet that they don't know that we will launch early!"
Now that there is no kerosene in the city, we can only think of other ways to eliminate the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirate leader in the county government is an opportunity.
Song Wei led people towards the west wing.
Song Wei thought he was unaware of the ghost, but as soon as he came out of the room, the west wing received the message.
The leader of this group of Japanese pirates is called Mao Wufeng, nicknamed Mao Wu.
I am actually reading at the moment!
A Japanese pirate leader was actually studying the Art of War.
It's really rare in the world.
"Don't panic, let's see what General Ming will do."
Mao Wu smiled and closed the book: "Perhaps that Ming general is here to bow his head."
These words made all the Japanese pirates laugh.
Mao Wu was not a Japanese. He was a soldier from Fujian. He escaped from the army and fled to the sea. He climbed up from the bottom and became the leader of the Japanese pirates.
There were some Japanese in his team, as well as pirates composed of Annan people, Nanyang people, and Ming people.
He did not consider himself a pirate.
He believed that he was the protector of the sea, and his stronghold was not near the Ming Dynasty, but in Ryukyu.
Song Wei rushed in.
I regretted it when I came in. In the cramped wing, there were more than thirty fully armed Japanese pirates, pointing at Song Wei with crossbows and fire blunderbuss.
These equipment were seized from Song Weijun.
"Song Shou Bei, I have admired your name for a long time." Mao Wu did not hide it, stood up and saluted with his hands in hand.
"Smart man?"
Song Wei was stunned. He clearly heard Jili Gulu's language. Why was the leader Mingren?
"In Xia Mao Wufeng, in the eighth year of Xuande, he was still a military household in Fujian. In Xiazu, he also followed Emperor Taizu to fight."
"Military households? How could they become Japanese pirates who harmed the common people?" Song Wei couldn't understand.
"At this time and that time, I used to be a military household."
"But now they are Japanese pirates in the eyes of your court. It is useless to say more."
"Song Shoubei came here just to arrest me, didn't he?"
Mao Wu didn't feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I have more soldiers than you."
Song Wei was also unambiguous. He stepped into the wing room and sat calmly on the round table under the pressure of countless crossbows: "Mao Wufeng, sit down and talk?"
"So brave."
Mao Wu narrowed his eyes: "Then let's talk, was Wei Kuang killed by you?"
"The traitorous ministers will be punished by the nine tribes!" Song Wei first made it clear that he would not betray the Ming Dynasty.
Mao Wu laughed: "The garrison master is a noble man, unlike military households like us."
"My great-grandfather joined the army, but died early in the war. My grandfather followed Emperor Taizu, and his fighting and governing the country were far inferior to your ancestors. He only had a thousand households. When it comes to me, he is just an ordinary white man."
"In order to make a living, I had no choice but to live on the sea. It was good luck that led to the magnificent scene today."
"Tell me, Song Shoubo, am I considered a traitor to the Ming Dynasty?"
The crossbow was suddenly aimed at Song Wei.
It seemed that Song Wei would immediately tie him into a sieve whenever he said he was a traitor.
"Of course!"
Song Wei showed no fear: "As long as I catch you, I will kill all nine of your clans!"
call out!
An arrow struck the table in front of Song Wei.
The soldiers brought by Song Wei also aimed their arrows at Mao Wu. Not to be outdone, they took advantage of the situation and pierced the table in front of Mao Wu with an arrow.
Song Wei and Mao Wu were shocked at the same time.
Who is not afraid of death?
"Put it all down!" Song Wei and Mao Wu shouted at the same time, and then laughed at each other.
"What a traitor!"
Mao Wudao: "When my family has no food to eat, can the court take care of my family?"
"Three generations of my ancestors died fighting for the country. Is there any grace?"
"Just because my family belongs to the military, after three generations died in the war, I must join the army and die fighting for the country!"
"Why?"
Mao Wu stared at Song Wei and asked.
He had wanted to ask the Ming court officials for a long time.
But when he asked Wei Kuang, Wei Kuang only said that the world was unfair and did not tell the reason.
"Because you are from Ming Dynasty!"
Song Wei's answer was very simple: "His Majesty said personally that all people in the Ming Dynasty have the obligation to protect their home and country!"
"Even if your family has been treated unfairly, as long as you are a wise man, you should shed your blood for this country. This is what you should do!"
These words were deafening.
But if you think about it carefully, it's all bullshit.
It's just bullshit by rulers to maintain their rule.
Mao Wu asked him: "Song Shoubei, are you willing to die?"
"I am indeed afraid of death, but there is no honor in dying for the country!" Song Wei said seriously.
Mao Wu mercilessly exposed his hypocrisy: "Because you have a pension, if you die, you will become a hero, your son will be favored, and even the emperor can give your son a title with a slap on the head!" "
Mao Wu pointed at himself: "What about me? I'm just an ordinary military household. If I die, I will die. The big shots won't even remember that I have such a name!"
"That's why I become a Japanese pirate, so I have to be strong!"
"Man can conquer nature, I believe in this sentence."
"This is a fallacy!" Song Wei sneered.
"But now, aren't you, the dignified Nanzhili garrison, bargaining with me, a bandit?"
Mao Wu retorted: "If I were just an ordinary military household now, would you look at me?"
"Song Wei, look back at your people!"
"How many people can you remember? You have thousands of people in your hands, how many can you remember?"
Song Wei was slightly stunned, how could this thief have such powerful lips and teeth?
He is demoralizing this general!
"The general said that he has remembered everything. Do you believe it?"
Song Wei sneered: "Your Majesty said that you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and you, Mao Wufeng, are just a person pretending to be asleep!"
"Okay, stop saying these useless words and tell us how Song Shouwei is going to die?"
Song Wei's answer was unacceptable to Mao Wu.
He never thought that he was a rebel, but that the court felt sorry for him, so he became a pirate in order to give himself a chance to survive.
"The four gates in the city are all in my hands. Instead, I should ask you, how do you, Mao Wufeng, want to die!"
Hearing this, Mao Wu burst out laughing: "Song Wei, don't you know how many people you have in your hands?"
"Can we engage in street fighting?"
"The warriors under my command are all equal to ten. Killing your Ming army is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!"
"Will I take this mere city gate seriously?"
Song Wei retorted: "If it were as simple as you said, would you still be nagging me? You would have killed me long ago!"
Mao Wu choked slightly.
This Song Wei is really awesome. Why didn’t you notice it the night before?
"The night before yesterday, you Ming army screamed very fiercely." Mao Wu laughed strangely.
Sure enough it was him!
Suddenly, Song Wei's eyes turned red.
The eyes of the soldiers behind him were bloodshot, and their hatred surged.
"Sneak attacks are your strength. When it comes to street fighting, one of our Ming army is worth ten."
Song Wei was thinking, what is Mao Wu worried about?
Otherwise he wouldn't talk to himself so much.
"Without firearms, your Ming army is like a tiger without teeth. In hand-to-hand combat, who can you defeat?"
Song Wei waved his hand: "Stop talking about these useless things, Mao Wufeng, what exactly do you want to talk about?"
Mao Wu does have scruples.
In fact, according to the order, he should appear in Suzhou Mansion at this time.
But he was worried that Suzhou Mansion was a pocket, and he could not get out after entering it. He already had the intention of retreating and was no longer willing to work for some conspirators.
But he was supported by the conspirators. If he betrayed the conspirators, he was worried that he would not end well.
So I want to seek cooperation with Song Wei and give him a hug.
"Song Wei, I want to cooperate with you." Mao Wu was straightforward.
Song Wei frowned, and the soldiers behind him kept winking at him to prevent him from agreeing.
Yes, Song Wei fell into a strange circle.
He used the soldiers' hatred for the Japanese pirates to mobilize their fighting spirit.
If he cooperates with the Japanese pirates, his soldiers will abandon him immediately, and Song Wei will die in an instant.
But without cooperation, there is no way to survive.
Seeing that Song Wei remained silent, Mao Wudao said: "I can tell you the plan I know. Just open a way for us to go to the sea."
Song Wei is still weighing the pros and cons.
"We can still leave if it's really a street fight, but we'll just suffer some losses."
Mao Wudao: "Song Wei, we can afford to wait, but you can't afford to wait. Their plan is not Songjiang Mansion, but Nanjing City!"
Suddenly!
Song Wei's pupils shrank and he lost his voice: "Nanjing City?"
"The Japanese pirates are already outside the city of Nanjing and can march into the city at any time. The people who decided the time and ordered me to appear here are a group of people."
This batch works well.
Several faces immediately appeared in Song Wei's mind.
"Put me into the sea and I will tell you everything..."
call out!
Mao Wu didn't finish his words.
An arrow shot towards Mao Wu.
Mao Wu has been fighting in the battle formation all year round. He sensed the danger in advance and immediately avoided it, but the arrow still stuck in his shoulder.
"The dog officer stabbed someone in the back!" A female voice came from behind.
At the same time, an arrow shot directly at Song Wei's face.
When Song Wei saw Mao Wu hit by an arrow, he immediately climbed into the table. The arrow missed him and instead killed one of his followers.
"What a vicious arrow!" Song Wei exclaimed.
However, the entire wing was already fighting.
The Ming army and the Japanese pirates fought together.
Song Wei didn't even see clearly who shot that arrow!
At the same time, I was afraid for a while: "There is a spy around me!"
Like Song Wei, Mao Wu also had a look of horror on his face: "There is a spy by my side!"
"kill him!"
Song Wei knew that the only way before him was to kill Mao Wu and take advantage of the chaos to kill the Japanese pirates. The more he killed, the better.
He pulled out his sword and crawled under the table to the other side.
As a result, as soon as he raised his head, an arrow was shot and scratched his cheek.
"Stop running away!" Song Wei propped up the table, used it as a shield, and rushed forward.
On the shore, fighting the Ming army with all their strength, the Japanese pirates were indeed no match for the Ming army.
There are only twenty people on Song Wei's side, while Mao Wu has nearly 50 people.
Mao Wufang retreated steadily, leaving more than 30 corpses behind. They retreated from the wing and retreated into the inner courtyard.
"Don't, don't kill, retreat quickly!" Mao Wu was hit by another arrow.
This arrow is weird.
It was like it was shot from behind. He was very lucky and stabbed in the back. His daughter rescued her in time, otherwise he would have ended up here.
He also determined that there were assassins hidden by conspirators around him.
As long as he disobeys, get rid of him.
Mao Wu was afraid for a while.
"My lord, what shall we do?"
Song Wei's Ming army lost nine men, leaving eleven.
Including Song Wei, there are twelve people.
"They must be killed!" Song Wei said fiercely: "Send the order to go out and kill the Japanese pirates!"
"Sir, don't you wait until dark before taking action?" Lai Liu asked in a low voice.
"No wait, start now!"
Song Wei suddenly noticed Lai Liu. Lai Liu's quiver was empty. Was the arrow that shot him shot by Lai Liu?
Anyway, the twenty people around him are all suspects.
The quiet Qingpu City immediately became chaotic.
The Ming army rushed into the houses with red eyes and started a fierce street battle.
"Revenge when there is an enemy, pay with blood!"
The Ming army roared and chopped.
Japanese pirates don’t wear armor, and they don’t wear armor today either!
The Japanese pirates used Japanese knives, and they also used war knives.
On the contrary, the Japanese pirates who had the advantage were beaten back steadily.
The Japanese pirates who had laughed wildly on top of the corpses of their comrades the night before were beaten to a pulp by them, and the corpses fell to the ground one by one.
And Song Wei's banner appeared in the center of the city.
"Have revenge!"
"eye for eye!"
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the battle flags were flying and roars were heard.
A group of mourning soldiers let out desperate roars.
They use their own swords to avenge their comrades, and use their own swords to wash away the insults on their bodies.
The Japanese pirates are always fierce.
In front of the very courageous Ming army, they were being defeated like chickens and dogs.
The Japanese pirates were leaderless, and their leader Mao Wu was trapped in the county government office.
Song Wei appeared in the military formation.
Like the soldiers, he held a sword and fought with the Japanese pirates with bayonets.
"Revenge! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
All the Ming troops, with red eyes, shouted while killing.
Soon, the Japanese pirates collapsed.
In the entire Qingpu city, [-] Japanese pirates were killed by [-] defeated soldiers. It took nearly an hour for the Japanese pirates to collapse.
When it became completely dark, the Japanese pirates fled for their lives.
The city gate was controlled by the Ming army. Anyone who approached the city gate would be killed by arrows.
The Japanese pirates cried for their fathers and mothers in the dark night city.
Some people even began to beg for surrender from the Ming army.
"Kill all!"
Song Wei roared.
"Sir, the sad soldiers will win."
"After all, there are many Japanese pirates. Our army has been killing them for more than an hour and is already exhausted."
"If the Japanese pirates know that they have no way out, they will fight to the death. The victory or defeat is yet to be determined."
"If we lose, we won't be able to explain it to the center!"
The military officer reminded him.
Song Wei's eyes flashed sharply: "Take in the prisoners!"
The Ming army took prisoners, and large numbers of Japanese pirates begged to surrender.
The Japanese pirates committed crimes at sea because the Ming Dynasty did not have sea ships. They fought on land because they killed ordinary people and ran away after killing them.
If they really fight in the street like this, they are really no match for the Ming army.
Of course, if the guardsmen can only fight with the wind, no one can defeat them, let alone the Japanese pirates. There is no need to mention such soldiers.
Two more hours passed.
The soldiers came over and reported: "Sir, we have surrendered approximately [-] prisoners."
"So many?" Song Wei was surprised.
"Sir, we have killed about 4000 people, and there are still about seven or eight people scattered in the city, hiding, and they can fight back at any time."
Song Wei was even more shocked: "A total of 4000 people?"
"According to the prisoners' accounts, there are 3000 Japanese pirates!"
This number really scared Song Wei.
Fortunately, he destroyed the lead in time. If the Japanese pirates were equipped with firecrackers and lead, the Ming army would definitely be unlucky tonight.
"How much have we lost in battle?" Song Wei's face returned to a relaxed smile.
Instead, the man did not dare to say: "Sir, approximately 600 people were lost in the battle..."
Song Wei's eyes widened: "How did you die? During the street fighting, our army was victorious, so why did we suffer such heavy losses?"
The man didn't dare to say.
In street fighting, the number of soldiers lost was about 1000.
The real losses were caused by searching every household and falling into the trap.
The purpose of searching people's houses was actually for property. The victorious Ming army did not seize prisoners calmly, but wanted to make a lot of money from the Japanese pirates.
As a result, the losses were heavy.
Song Wei's expression changed sharply: "Send the order and kill all the prisoners immediately!"
"Sir, it is unlucky to kill prisoners!" the military officials and others advised.
"Is it still unknown? If we don't kill, we will all die here when dawn comes!"
Song Wei shouted: "We brought 5000 people, and [-] people died. Where are the injured?"
"How can these people control more than 1 prisoners? And there are more than 7000 hidden in the city?"
"What control?"
"Go and kill!"
"Kill in the quickest way!"
Song Wei was anxious.
He made another fatal mistake. He should have always brought this army with him. How could he let them move freely? As a result, the army collapsed!
And killing him will definitely leave a huge stain on him.
What was originally a beautiful battle ended like this!
Song Wei really wanted to slap himself in the face, he was so immature. You can't become a famous general just by reading in a book while marching in the army.
A famous general must go through a long period of actual training on the battlefield, coupled with innate talent, and most importantly, he must have a guide and a good teacher.
He, Song Wei, has everything, but he only suffers from experience.
A total of [-] yuan was paid back, and the plot of the two lists caught up. It was sincere enough!Fighting for tomorrow will be a big chapter~ Fight for it~
(End of this chapter)
however.
The Southern Zhili Army has a natural fear of Japanese pirates.
In the past record against Japanese pirates, they lost about eight out of ten battles and rarely won. After a long period of war, the South Zhili army developed a collective fear of Japanese pirates, which gradually penetrated into their bones.
Especially when the troops were tired and ready to sleep, they were attacked by Japanese pirates.
The camp immediately fell into chaos!
Most of Song Wei's confidants were placed in different places. There were only a few confidants in this army. Even if he gave orders, the army would be in chaos.
The Japanese pirates who entered the camp carried long bows on their backs and held Japanese knives. They were not wearing armor. They were in teams of three, killing people like hemp.
When the killing goes crazy, he holds a knife in both hands and chops randomly.
The Ming army, which was obviously heavily armed, did not resist at all and ran for their lives in all directions. They were killed and scattered in an instant, and they were completely defeated.
There were screams everywhere, and Song Wei didn't know how many Japanese pirates there were.
His orders were not listened to.
"Come here, carry my banner and follow me!"
It is almost impossible to turn defeat into victory.
The only thing Song Wei can do now is to contain the defeated soldiers as much as possible.
Dragging his sick body and holding a big flag, he shuttled through the camp, trying to accommodate the defeated soldiers as much as possible.
I also saw Japanese pirates with my own eyes.
A Japanese pirate was shirtless, holding a knife in both hands, looking like he was slashing wildly. Four or five Ming soldiers were cut down by him, and he actually came towards the banner to kill.
Song Wei's guards were all frightened. They were all from South Zhili and had a natural fear of Japanese pirates.
call out!
Song Wei used his bow and shot an arrow, hitting him in the shoulder and killing the Japanese pirate.
Only then can we take control of the situation.
"This general is here, follow me to form a formation!"
Song Wei roared.
"Sir, something is wrong with these Japanese pirates."
A man from Suzhou Prefecture ran over in fear and said, "Sir, these Japanese pirates are not afraid of death. They don't care for money but only their lives. They are very different from the previous wars."
Song Wei also saw it.
He suddenly looked at the hundred households: "Where is your gun?"
"Sir, it's lost!" He said matter-of-factly. He had already fled for his life. Who cares about the gun? The armor was all thrown away.
The Japanese pirates came with guns blazing!
Song Wei shouted loudly: "Everyone protect the firecrackers!"
But the camp was in a mess and there were shouts and shouts everywhere. Who would listen to Song Wei?
Song Wei made a decisive decision: "Destroy the lead! Quick!"
Even if the Japanese pirates took away the firecrackers, they also took away a lot of junk.
The lead is in the hands of the military officials, who have been in the middle army with Song Wei.
"Sir, if there is no lead, the muskets in our hands are useless!" The military officer meant that with bayonets, we are no match for the Japanese pirates.
"Just obey your orders!"
Song Wei was worried that they wouldn't be able to keep the lead.
The Japanese pirates will attack the camp again for the sake of lead.
It is better to destroy them all in front of the Japanese pirates to stop them from attacking the camp again and to protect themselves.
The battle lasted for more than an hour. Song Wei summoned the remaining troops and formed a circular formation, and the Japanese pirates retreated.
Song Weiqiang supported the sick body and waited for statistics.
It wasn't until daybreak that the battle damage was tallied.
About 2000 people were damaged in the battle, 400 were missing, [-] sets of armor were lost, [-] fire guns were lost, and some other equipment was lost.
puff!
Song Wei opened his mouth and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
A great defeat, a humiliating defeat!
His first battle in southern Zhili was defeated so completely!
It's all his fault, leading the army to run around like headless flies, which made the army exhausted and unable to fight anymore, so they were defeated.
It's also his fault that he didn't see through the Japanese pirates' plan and fell into their scheme.
This battle was not lost unjustly.
"My lord!" his general exclaimed.
Song Wei waved his hand: "One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. The general is incompetent. Therefore, the result of defeat will be borne entirely by this general!"
He didn't make excuses after defeat like other generals.
He also wanted to find it, but the problem was that there were eunuchs, civil servants, and spies from the Military Discipline Department in the army. It was impossible to hide such a huge defeat.
He is the brother of the Marquis of Xining, His Majesty's confidant, and a relative!
If he loses, he loses, and he can afford the consequences!
Just like Yu Jin and Pound were captured at the same time, Yu Jin could surrender and live, but Pound had no choice but to die because Yu Jin could afford the consequences.
Song Wei is like this.
"Let the sergeant rest for two hours, then bury the pot and cook. After dawn, collect the bodies of the brothers and bury them on the spot!"
Song Wei insisted: "After dawn, I will lecture you personally!"
He couldn't hold it anymore.
This illness came at an unfortunate time. He was extremely weak, and his ability to survive until now was all because of his resentment.
This defeat must be a stain on his life.
He still remembered that when he left the capital, the emperor said in the Fengtian Hall that he hoped that the Xining Marquis Mansion would have two princes from one family!
As a result, the Duke had no hope and was defeated in the first battle.
When all the generals left, Song Wei had tears in his eyes. He had made a mistake since he came to Songjiang Mansion with his own will!
He is more worried about Nanjing City!
I hope Yuande will be faster, and please Ren Li take charge of Nanjing City as soon as possible!
The Japanese pirates did not come for looting, but for a larger purpose, or in other words, a more far-reaching political purpose.
His Majesty handed over Nanzhili to him. He was unworthy of His grace!
vomit!
Song Wei vomited another mouthful of blood, his throat tasted fishy and sweet, and he forced himself to swallow it: "I would rather die than defend South Zhili!"
The medical officer came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Sir, a batch of medicinal materials have been robbed. Your medicine is missing a few flavors. You can use it for now. After daybreak, I will go into the mountains to collect it."
The medical officer did not dare to mention Qingpu, fearing that Song Wei would vomit blood.
Song Wei drank the medicine and fell asleep.
Two hours later.
He was woken up by the medical officer, who told him: "You need to rest more. Such exertion will easily damage your body."
"A defeated general has disgraced his family, how can he have a future?"
Song Wei exhaled a thick breath.
He held on to his tired body and walked out of the simple house, only to hear faint cries.
He walked near the camp. The camp was devastated, with blood everywhere and corpses everywhere. The weather was hot, mosquitoes were flying around on the corpses, and there was even a faint smell.
As Song Wei approached the camp, his crying became louder and louder.
"Is the meal ready?"
The soldier in charge of the cooking said it was ready.
"Let all the soldiers come over to eat, weed them, and sit around. I will talk to them."
After half an hour.
5000 people, and 400 people were gathered back after dawn. The rest who were missing must be dead.
Sitting on the ground, holding bowls in their hands, looking at the bodies of their colleagues, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Crying is easily contagious.
The entire military formation was filled with mournful cries and howls.
Song Wei sat in the middle, also holding a bowl. He usually wore official robes and was spotless.
Today, official robes are stained with blood.
He didn't comb his hair or wash his face, and he didn't care if there were lice crawling on his head.
"Have you cried enough?" Song Wei asked in a low voice.
But some soldiers looked at him resentfully, "Your father and brothers are not dead, so of course you won't be sad!"
"Crying, can you make my comrades come back to life?"
"Crying, can you cry the Japanese pirates to death?"
"Crying, can it solve the problem?"
Song Wei's words touched his heart, and the soldiers held back their tears and looked at him with some resentment.
"The general is also sad."
"These are all my soldiers. Some of them were personally recruited by me, some were personally drawn by me from various guard posts, and some were brought by me from Beizhili!"
"Every one of them is the hard work of this general!"
"This general can call each of them by name!"
"When I came to Nanjing, I lived and ate with you. They spent more time together day and night than with my own women."
Song Wei roared: "They died, won't I feel sad?"
The resentful soldier's eyes suddenly softened, filled with grief.
"I especially remember that when I first organized the army, the people laughed at me behind my back, saying that I was born in the Marquis Mansion and could not bear the hardship!"
"But during the seven months I spent in South Zhili, I ate, slept, and trained with the soldiers every day. Did I ever complain that it was hard?"
"no!"
"This general is indeed not a good general, but I am willing to share joys and sorrows with my soldiers. You should see that!"
"They died, doesn't the general feel uncomfortable?"
"Most of them were recruited by General Ben to join the army. Now they have died so cowardly. How will I face their families!"
Song Wei had tears in his eyes: "This battle is my fault!"
"This general was blinded by hatred and led you around like headless flies, which led to the defeat of this battle!"
"It's not the fault of the guards, it's the incompetence of the villains." A soldier cried.
But this time the tears were tears of regret.
Many soldiers followed and shouted.
The morale of the military was mobilized.
Song Wei waved his hand: "No, you are all good, you are my best soldiers, Song Wei."
"The Japanese pirates attacked the camp last night, but it didn't completely collapse. It shows that you still have our generals in your hearts. These seven months of training have been very effective!"
"This battle is the result of Song Wei's inability to lead his troops, which is your fault!"
"You are all elites of the Ming Dynasty!"
As he said that, Song Wei stood up and pointed at the corpses everywhere: "Look, these people are all our brothers! They are our colleagues!"
"Now he is massacred by Japanese pirates and lies here."
"Tell me, general, how to recover this blood debt!"
"Revenge, pay with blood!" The soldiers' eyes were red, and more and more soldiers shouted, and all the soldiers stood up and roared loudly.
"it is good!"
Song Wei also screamed: "Revenge when there is a hatred, blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"I'm going to be ashamed!"
"Do you dare to follow me?"
"If we encounter Japanese pirates again, I will be the first to rush forward. I will also use my sword to kill them. Do you dare to follow me and kill the Japanese pirates?"
This lecture was mainly to restore confidence to the soldiers.
Use the fire of hatred to pour out the iron-blooded ambition of the soldiers.
Song Wei wanted to avenge his embarrassment and wash away his stain, but he couldn't do it on his own and had no time to mobilize troops from other places. He could only rely on these defeated soldiers and remnant generals.
Then only by stimulating the bloody spirit in their hearts, reducing their fear of Japanese pirates, and amplifying their hatred of Japanese pirates can they fight.
It is not an easy task to unite a group of defeated troops who have no fighting spirit.
"Revenge when there is an enemy, pay with blood!"
The roar was loud and powerful.
Song Wei knew that this army could fight again.
He ordered the soldiers to eat first, and after they were full, they would bury their comrades on the spot.
The medical officer who came back from collecting medicine was surprised when he heard the loud roar. How could the defeated and remnant generals who had so little fighting spirit last night suddenly burst out with such terrifying cohesion?
The whole army spent a day training and counting their equipment.
At dawn the next day, we returned to Qingpu.
Song Wei concluded that the Japanese pirates were hiding in Qingpu and had not entered Suzhou Prefecture.
The Japanese pirates took away the guns and armor, and also disabled Song Weijun. They probably wanted to do something bigger in Nanzhili.
Along the way, he discovered a strange situation. Many people in the gentry's village had disappeared, but the village was intact.
This is the case in Qingpu, Qiandun, and Zhuangzi in the middle of Dianshan Lake.
Speeding all the way to Qingpu.
Song Wei ordered the magistrate of Qingpu to open the city gate and let the army enter.
The Qingpu magistrate glanced at Song Wei's army from the top of the city.
They were all crooked, with no armor, and some weapons were slung, carried, dragged, and some were not held. Song Wei, who led the troops, had lost his official hat and his hair was disheveled, like a dog in a defeated army.
At first glance, it looks like a defeated army.
The county magistrate's name is Wei Kuang, who was born in Changzhou Prefecture.
Wei Kuang stood on the top of the city: "Sir, the Japanese pirates are overflowing now, and the people in the city are very frightened. Please don't lead the army in, so as not to harm the people."
Song Wei shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, don't talk nonsense!"
Wei Kuang frowned slightly.
Anyone can see that Song Wei's army is like a lost dog.
Judging from Song Wei's stern look, he must be extremely afraid of Japanese pirates, so he wanted to enter the city as soon as possible to prevent being raided by Japanese pirates again.
"grown ups……"
"Stop talking nonsense, I am ordering you as the garrison of Nanzhili to open the city gate!"
Song Wei looked stern and said: "If you are even half a minute slower, I will kill you directly. If you report to the center again that you are afraid of fighting, I will kill you!"
Wei Kuang's face turned bitter. Are you afraid of Japanese pirates?
After some consideration.
Still slowly opened the city gate.
Song Wei gave the military commanders a wink. He entered the city first, and the others quickly seized the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, he, Song Wei, ran into the city gate first. Several soldiers fought with him for space, and Song Wei even whipped him a few times: "I will go first, do you have any rules?"
Wei Kuang, who was standing on the top of the city, sighed slightly when he saw such a scene.
However, as soon as Song Wei entered the city gate, the few soldiers who were fighting against Song Wei took control of the defenders.
"Sir, are you really going to kill me? What if it's one of our own?" A hundred households asked in a low voice.
"no!"
Song Wei was very sure.
Sure enough, Baihu who took action came over quickly: "Sir, it is indeed not the Ming army. I can't understand what they said!"
"Really Japanese?"
Song Wei's eyes became darker: "Control the city gate and don't let anyone discover it."
The army entered the city quickly, and there were fortifications in the doorways, so they entered the city not very quickly.
Song Wei was worried about an ambush on the city gate tower, so he asked the army to control the city gate and withdraw from the city if there were any changes.
Wei Kuang obviously wanted to eat Song Wei's entire army.
Let Song Wei's entire army enter the city.
Wei Kuang walked down the tower and saluted Song Wei.
"Weizhi County, will the Japanese pirates come to Qingpu again?" Song Wei looked frightened.
There was a sneer on Wei Kuang's lips: "Song Guards, don't worry, the Japanese pirates have been repelled by Xia Guan, and they should not invade Qingpu again."
Song Wei found blood on the road.
Wei Kuang said: "Oh, it's all the result of the concerted efforts of soldiers and civilians all over the city. Some people were injured by the arrows of the Japanese pirates, and they didn't have time to clean themselves. Please stay at the county government office."
"It's okay if he doesn't come, it's okay if he doesn't come." Song Wei murmured to himself.
Wei Kuang asked about the battle situation.
Song Wei was vague: "There are many people in our army. It would be unsafe to enter through only one door. We should let them enter through the other three doors and come in quickly."
"This……"
Wei Kuang hesitated slightly: "If the four doors are opened at the same time, it might be dangerous."
"Then throw away the people outside..."
Song Wei realized that he had made a mistake and smiled bitterly: "I am mainly worried about Japanese pirate spies sneaking into the city and causing unnecessary trouble to the city. I have no other intention."
Wei Kuang really didn't realize that the Southern Zhili garrison, which had made drastic reforms since taking office, was actually a loser.
You can understand it if you think about it. After all, he was born in the Marquis of Xining. How could such a pampered nobleman endure the hardships of war?
What's more, the Japanese pirates were elusive and extremely powerful. They were beaten to the point where they were all strewn with teeth. It's understandable that they are now as fearful as tigers.
"Open the west gate as well and let my army enter the city quickly."
They entered the city from the south gate.
Wei Kuang hesitated slightly, but Song Wei's eyes became sharper and he agreed out of desperation.
Song Wei was escorted by the army to the county government office.
The city of Qingpu is completely silent.
Do you think it's strange that such a large army entered the city and there weren't even any curious people?
Standing at the gate of the county government office, Song Wei exclaimed: "Wang Mu, where is Wang Mu? The general's royal flag is on him!"
Upon hearing the king's order, Wei Kuang's mouth filled with fluid.
If you get the king's order, you can mobilize the troops from South Zhili, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang.
"Wang Mu!"
Song Wei roared.
But the servant said: "Back to my lord, Wang Mu has entered the city through the west gate."
Snapped!
Song Wei slapped him across the face: "It's all because of you, you bastard. You had to squeeze in and steal Wang Mu's way. If the king's flag is lost, I will kill you first!"
The servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"You go in first, make the bed for me, and then ask the maid to fill the bath water. I haven't bathed in a few days, and I need to take a bath soon! Go quickly!"
Song Wei kicked him.
The servant crawled into the county government office.
Wei Kuang's pupils shrank. There were heavy troops ambushed in the county government office. If this person went in, he wouldn't be discovered, right?
"Wei Kuang, I will return to the center and will definitely commend your achievements to His Majesty."
Wei Kuang even said he didn't dare.
Song Wei shouted again: "Why are you so slow? Are you not afraid of Japanese pirates? Are you risking your life?"
"Sir, that city gate is mostly fortified, and it's really difficult to get out." A soldier coming from the west gate reported.
Song Wei suppressed his anger and said to Wei Kuang: "Open the other two doors and let the general's soldiers come in quickly."
"Sir..." Wei Kuang wanted to persuade.
"Stop talking!"
Song Wei shouted fiercely: "The king's destiny talisman is lost, I will chop off your dog's head first!"
He passed directly by Wei Kuang, gave orders, opened the other two gates, and let his soldiers enter the city.
Wei Kuang frowned slightly. Song Wei had been in Nanzhili for seven months. He was well-mannered, methodical and meticulous, and was praised by others.
Why did he suddenly become so violent and arrogant?
Are you really scared by the Japanese pirates?
"grown ups!"
The soldier who was kicked into the county government office ran out: "Didn't you find the maid?"
"You can't handle a damn little thing?" Song Wei kicked him.
It was Wei Kuang who helped pull him down.
The soldier knelt on the ground and sobbed.
"The city has just experienced a war, and we are worried that the female family members will be killed, so they are all hiding. Let's go find them in this county." Wei Kuang said and entered the county government office.
Song Wei winked at the soldier.
Several retinues followed Wei Kuang into the county government office.
One hundred households lowered their voices and said, "Sir, we have controlled all four city gates, but the streets are quiet and no Japanese pirates have been found."
"It should be in people's homes. Don't worry for now. Control the arsenal first, collect kerosene, and wait until night to start."
At this time, Wang Mu quickly ran over and lowered his voice: "Sir, we have found traces of the Japanese pirates."
Of course he carries the royal flag with him, how could he give it to someone else?
"where?"
"There should be no common people in the city, they are all Japanese pirates, inside the houses." Wang Mu and Song Wei came in together. On the way to the county government office, they dispersed with the large troops and searched around.
"Go find kerosene and collect anything that can light a fire. We'll do it at night."
Song Wei is going to have a fire attack!
He beat Wang Mu before Shi Shiran entered the county government office.
Wang Mu grimaced in pain and said, "Master, why don't you save some hands? It hurts so much, Siha!"
Song Wei was thinking, a snake can't survive without a head.
Japanese pirates must have a leader.
They shouldn't live in residential buildings, but in county offices?
Then Wei Kuang is an official, so how can he collude with the Japanese pirates?Did he have an affair with the Japanese pirates, or was he also forced to do so?
Song Wei is relatively safe now.
He deliberately said the king's order flag so that Wei Kuang could steal or rob it. At least he would be safe during the day.
"Wei Kuang should be the one who can make the decision. He directly decided to open the four doors and let us in. This shows that he has been colluding with the Japanese pirates for a long time."
Although Song Wei was taking a bath, he kept weighing the pros and cons: "Then the weapons the Japanese pirates robbed should be in Qingpu City."
"Why didn't they invade Suzhou Prefecture and plunder it?"
"You crippled our army, but returned to Qingpu, as if you were waiting for some order?"
"Order?"
"This Japanese pirate invasion was planned by someone!"
"Who is the envoy? What is the purpose?"
Song Wei felt as if he had touched the context of this matter, but suddenly realized something: "Did the confession of money arouse the opposition of the Jiangnan gentry?"
"Or, Wang Hong was killing people in southern Zhili, so the Japanese invaders invaded the border and forced the emperor to execute Wang Hong?"
Suddenly!
Song Wei shuddered!
This is a war that is more political than military!
It is definitely not the Japanese pirates that appear on the surface.
And he was just a small figure in this war. The emperor and the Jiangnan gentry were playing chess!
Snapped!
He slapped himself: "Don't think so wildly! Just think about this battle!"
Nanzhili is a very complicated place.
He is an honorable noble, and when he comes to Nanzhili to take charge of the army, he must not get involved in politics, because the emperor likes pure soldiers and hates soldiers participating in politics. This is a taboo.
Therefore, he doesn't think about things that have nothing to do with him.
Let Wang Hong worry about it.
"Although Qingpu is rich, the best house is the county government office."
What haven’t you seen or played with Japanese pirates?
No matter how nice the house is, they have burned it down.
On the contrary, the Japanese pirates have no power, especially the Japanese pirate leaders. They are just thieves. Without power, they will crave power.
Therefore, in their eyes, the best place to live is the county government office.
Maybe he would even put on the official robe of a county magistrate and handle public cases at the county government office.
"Lai Liu came in to check it out and said there were soldiers inside."
"These soldiers probably didn't murder me."
"It's to protect an important person."
Whoa!
Song Wei stood up from the tub and subconsciously called for someone to come in and help him wipe it.
"Where's the maid?"
Wei Kuang also came from a wealthy family, and a maid trained by his family would definitely not leave after pouring hot water, unless she was Wei Kuang's real wife.
Even if she is a concubine, she should serve her here before leaving.
Even if Song Wei made some unspeakable requests, Wei Kuang's concubine did not dare to refuse.
However, the maid who served the bath disappeared.
Song Wei recalled the appearance of the maid.
Although he didn't take a closer look, at a glance, he could vaguely see the plateau red on the face covered with powder.
The maids of wealthy families are all fair and beautiful, and the blush on their faces is mostly caused by wind-blown skin and lack of timely skin care.
That means that this maid is a Japanese pirate.
Song Wei's eyes lit up: "It takes no effort at all to get it."
He wiped himself, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom. Wei Kuang was already waiting not far away.
"Have they all entered the city?"
But Wei Kuang said that before he finished entering, the sun was setting in the west and the sunset was reflected on the horizon.
"Urge me again. Everyone must enter the city before dark. As soon as it gets dark, the city gates will be closed and no one will care about the outside!" Song Wei ordered.
Then he went to the inner hall, where Wei Kuang served him carefully.
"Weizhi County, your family members are in the hall?" Song Wei asked in surprise.
"Xiaguan's family is in his hometown, not in the inner hall."
"Then why are you following? Go and manage the city defense. I don't need you to serve me here." Song Wei sent him away.
But Wei Kuang refused to leave and made excuses to stay here.
Do you want to see the Wang Ming flag?
He was probably also keeping an eye on Song Wei, worried that Song Wei would find out that there was still a group of people living in the county government office.
From time to time he glanced at the sun.
They are all waiting for dark to see who is more skilled.
Song Weiwei was lying on the collapse, looking at Wei Kuang: "Wei Zhixian, do I still need you to take care of me when I'm sleeping?"
Wei Kuang smiled bitterly.
"Are you waiting for me to fall asleep and take my head?"
"what?"
Wei Kuang was startled: "This official only cares about you, how dare you murder you?"
"is it?"
Song Wei smiled and said: "Who is the maid pouring water?"
Suddenly, Wei Kuang's expression changed sharply, and he immediately knew that something had been exposed.
He actually rushed towards Song Wei as fast as he could.
There was a dagger hidden in the wide sleeves, and it was stabbed towards Song Wei!
Click!
Song Wei was a military commander after all, so he took advantage of the situation and hid.
He took the opportunity to grab Wei Kuang's hand and broke it off, causing the dagger to fall on the bed.
Song Wei grabbed the dagger with his other hand and put it against Wei Kuang's throat.
"Can't hold back so quickly? County magistrate Wei?" Song Wei opened his mouth, revealing a row of yellow teeth.
I took a shower and didn't brush my teeth.
"You, when did you see through it?" Wei Kuang wanted to struggle, but the tip of the knife pierced into the flesh and blood overflowed. He did not dare to move.
"What do you think?" Song Wei changed his posture.
"That maid exposed her secret?"
Wei Kuang couldn't figure out how Song Wei saw through him?
and many more!
Song Wei's performance was completely different from what was rumored!
However, the current Song Wei is the real Song Wei, which means that Song Wei has been pretending!
I have been pretending since I entered Qingpu City.
"Have you known for a long time that the Japanese pirates were hiding in Qingpu City?" Wei Kuang was shocked.
At first he thought that Song Wei knew about it when he came from Huating.
On second thought, I probably found out after the attack.
Song Wei looked at him with a high look: "You are so smart, why don't you want to serve the country?"
"Serve the country? Humph!"
Wei Kuang snorted coldly: "If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you. Anyway, I won't go to Huangquan Road to wait for you."
Seeing him looking like he was about to kill him, Song Wei smiled.
"Who else lives in this county government office?" Song Wei asked with a smile: "Let me guess, is he the leader of the Japanese pirates?"
"The maid who takes care of my bath is the leader's concubine..."
"No, it's his daughter, right?"
Wei Kuang said nothing, but it was obvious that Song Wei had guessed correctly.
"You are waiting for it to get dark, so why shouldn't I, general, be waiting for it to get dark?"
"Don't scream. If you dare to scream, this knife will go in."
"Why don't we give it a try, which one of us is faster?"
Song Wei smiled ferociously.
I had a day off yesterday and I am mostly recovered from my illness.
Wei Kuang said, "Song Shou, you have no chance of winning."
"Your only chance of winning is to wait until dark, take me down when I'm not prepared, and seize this noble man from the county government."
"But you didn't hold your temper."
"One wrong step, one wrong step after another, and you have no hope of winning."
Wei Kuang was very ambitious and even helped Song Wei plan.
"is it?"
Song Wei sneered: "You can't decide my general's chances of winning."
"Song Shoubei, if you had a 100% chance of winning, you wouldn't be grinding your teeth here with me."
Wei Kuang sees things very clearly.
He also saw through Song Wei's hesitation, and he seized on Song Wei's weakness to seek a chance for himself.
"Do you know why I'm talking nonsense?"
Wei Kuang really knew: "You want to control the arsenal, raise kerosene, and launch a fire attack after dark."
This is the only way to completely eliminate Japanese pirates!
Song Wei was slightly shocked, how could such a talented person rebel against the Ming Dynasty?
"But have you ever thought about it?"
"Since the Japanese pirates dare to station here, they will be prepared for fire attacks."
"After all, the world of Japanese pirates is the sea. Once ashore, they can't survive and can only survive by being cautious."
Wei Kuang said quietly: "There is no fire oil in Qingpu City, how can you attack with fire?"
"If we fight in the streets, one Japanese pirate can be worth ten. With Song Guards, can you beat the Japanese pirates who are not afraid of death with the thousands of defeated soldiers in your hands?"
No!
Song Wei's face darkened: "You deliberately let me in just to plot the equipment in my hands?"
Wei Kuang refused to say this.
Song Wei was also confused. How could he annihilate the Japanese pirates without kerosene?
Full of confidence, he fell into trouble again.
"Song Shouwei, why don't you put down the knife."
"Cooperate with us and I will guarantee your official position."
"Not only that, but it also guarantees that you will win consecutive battles and gain His Majesty's favor."
Wei Kuang made an unintended plan to drag Song Wei into the water.
"Tell me about it," Song Wei said.
Wei Kuang was also considering whether he should reveal some plans to Song Wei?
"Song Shoubei, this is not the way to talk, right?"
Wei Kuang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. No one wanted to die.
What's more, if a person like him was afraid of death, how could he end up in such a situation?
Song Wei put down the dagger.
Wei Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, touched the wound on his throat, looked at the blood, and wiped it with a silk handkerchief: "Song Shoubei, cooperating with the lower official is your wisest decision."
"I have a few questions to ask you. After asking them clearly, I will consider whether to cooperate?" Song Wei said expressionlessly.
Wei Kuang frowned slightly: "You ask."
"This Japanese pirate invasion was carefully planned, right? What's the purpose?"
Seeing Song Wei being so straightforward, Wei Kuang frowned and said, "Song Shoubei, this matter has nothing to do with you..."
"This general is guarding Nanzhili, you say it has nothing to do with it?"
Song Wei said angrily: "Songjiang Mansion was slaughtered by Japanese pirates, and the central government held them responsible. How can I be able to survive alone?"
Wei Kuang thought for a moment and then sighed: "Yes, it was carefully planned."
"As long as you cooperate with us, we will give you a lot of achievements, making the center trust you even more."
"It's over?" Song Wei thought that Wei Kuang had said nothing.
"This is all I have to say, no more can be said."
These words coincided with what Song Wei thought.
It's almost equal to nonsense.
Song Wei asked again: "What can I get?"
"Promote an official and become a noble!"
"By you?"
Song Wei sneered: "Do you know how many soldiers the center can send?"
"Sir, can the Ming army catch us?"
Wei Kuang sneered: "But if we go to the sea, who can find us?"
This is true.
The hub is out of ships.
For the first time, he was so eager to build a navy.
"We can give you a lot of military exploits for the defense. With these military exploits, you will naturally rise up." Wei Kuang said.
Song Wei sarcastically said: "Is this how you were promoted to county magistrate?"
Wei Kuang's expression changed slightly and he did not want to talk further: "Sir, we are discussing your matter."
"You are not qualified to talk to me. Go and call the leader of the Japanese pirates. I will have a good talk with him."
Wei Kuang's expression changed: "Master Guard, you don't really want to cooperate with us, do you?"
"Isn't this general sincere enough?"
Song Wei's face was ferocious: "I was born in the Marquis of Xining Mansion, my elder brother is the Marquis of Xining! My father is the Marquis of Xining! My ancestor is also the Marquis of Xining!"
"This general's biological sister serves His Majesty!"
"I have served His Majesty for nine years!"
"How can you, a fool like you, instigate rebellion against me? With a bunch of gangsters like you, how can you give me the title of Duke?"
puff!
Song Wei directly inserted the dagger into Wei Kuang's chest.
Wei Kuang was in disbelief and pointed at Song Wei: "You, you..."
"You piece of shit."
"I just wanted to test your tone, but you didn't know anything."
"Still pretending to be here, General!"
Song Wei asked him: "Do you know who is planning the Japanese pirates' invasion?"
"What's the whole plan? What's the purpose?"
"do you know?"
"You are a small county magistrate, you know nothing!"
Pooh!
Song Wei took a mouthful of thick phlegm and sprayed it on Wei Kuang's face.
Pfft!
Wei Kuang fell from the stool to the ground, his eyes widened, and there was a thick mouth of phlegm hanging between his eyebrows.
"Come here, why is this fucking bed so hard? Find me a soft bed!" Song Wei yelled exaggeratedly.
His followers came in and saw Wei Kuang lying on the ground twitching.
People are not dead yet.
Afraid of him screaming, I gagged her mouth. It was still a long time before death, so let him enjoy the pleasure of death.
"Lai Liu, what can you hear?" Song Wei asked seriously.
Lai Liu was the soldier who was beaten and scolded into the county government. He was a detective and was good at investigating.
"Go back, sir, in the west wing." Lai Liu's nose and face were bruised and swollen, all because of Song Wei's beating.
Song Wei patted him on the shoulder: "You have done a great job this time."
"How many brothers do we have?" Song Wei asked.
"Sir, there are twenty people who entered the county government office."
Song Wei looked at Lai Liu. Lai Liu didn't know how many people there were in the west wing, but there were definitely more than them.
"Let's bet that they don't know that we will launch early!"
Now that there is no kerosene in the city, we can only think of other ways to eliminate the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirate leader in the county government is an opportunity.
Song Wei led people towards the west wing.
Song Wei thought he was unaware of the ghost, but as soon as he came out of the room, the west wing received the message.
The leader of this group of Japanese pirates is called Mao Wufeng, nicknamed Mao Wu.
I am actually reading at the moment!
A Japanese pirate leader was actually studying the Art of War.
It's really rare in the world.
"Don't panic, let's see what General Ming will do."
Mao Wu smiled and closed the book: "Perhaps that Ming general is here to bow his head."
These words made all the Japanese pirates laugh.
Mao Wu was not a Japanese. He was a soldier from Fujian. He escaped from the army and fled to the sea. He climbed up from the bottom and became the leader of the Japanese pirates.
There were some Japanese in his team, as well as pirates composed of Annan people, Nanyang people, and Ming people.
He did not consider himself a pirate.
He believed that he was the protector of the sea, and his stronghold was not near the Ming Dynasty, but in Ryukyu.
Song Wei rushed in.
I regretted it when I came in. In the cramped wing, there were more than thirty fully armed Japanese pirates, pointing at Song Wei with crossbows and fire blunderbuss.
These equipment were seized from Song Weijun.
"Song Shou Bei, I have admired your name for a long time." Mao Wu did not hide it, stood up and saluted with his hands in hand.
"Smart man?"
Song Wei was stunned. He clearly heard Jili Gulu's language. Why was the leader Mingren?
"In Xia Mao Wufeng, in the eighth year of Xuande, he was still a military household in Fujian. In Xiazu, he also followed Emperor Taizu to fight."
"Military households? How could they become Japanese pirates who harmed the common people?" Song Wei couldn't understand.
"At this time and that time, I used to be a military household."
"But now they are Japanese pirates in the eyes of your court. It is useless to say more."
"Song Shoubei came here just to arrest me, didn't he?"
Mao Wu didn't feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I have more soldiers than you."
Song Wei was also unambiguous. He stepped into the wing room and sat calmly on the round table under the pressure of countless crossbows: "Mao Wufeng, sit down and talk?"
"So brave."
Mao Wu narrowed his eyes: "Then let's talk, was Wei Kuang killed by you?"
"The traitorous ministers will be punished by the nine tribes!" Song Wei first made it clear that he would not betray the Ming Dynasty.
Mao Wu laughed: "The garrison master is a noble man, unlike military households like us."
"My great-grandfather joined the army, but died early in the war. My grandfather followed Emperor Taizu, and his fighting and governing the country were far inferior to your ancestors. He only had a thousand households. When it comes to me, he is just an ordinary white man."
"In order to make a living, I had no choice but to live on the sea. It was good luck that led to the magnificent scene today."
"Tell me, Song Shoubo, am I considered a traitor to the Ming Dynasty?"
The crossbow was suddenly aimed at Song Wei.
It seemed that Song Wei would immediately tie him into a sieve whenever he said he was a traitor.
"Of course!"
Song Wei showed no fear: "As long as I catch you, I will kill all nine of your clans!"
call out!
An arrow struck the table in front of Song Wei.
The soldiers brought by Song Wei also aimed their arrows at Mao Wu. Not to be outdone, they took advantage of the situation and pierced the table in front of Mao Wu with an arrow.
Song Wei and Mao Wu were shocked at the same time.
Who is not afraid of death?
"Put it all down!" Song Wei and Mao Wu shouted at the same time, and then laughed at each other.
"What a traitor!"
Mao Wudao: "When my family has no food to eat, can the court take care of my family?"
"Three generations of my ancestors died fighting for the country. Is there any grace?"
"Just because my family belongs to the military, after three generations died in the war, I must join the army and die fighting for the country!"
"Why?"
Mao Wu stared at Song Wei and asked.
He had wanted to ask the Ming court officials for a long time.
But when he asked Wei Kuang, Wei Kuang only said that the world was unfair and did not tell the reason.
"Because you are from Ming Dynasty!"
Song Wei's answer was very simple: "His Majesty said personally that all people in the Ming Dynasty have the obligation to protect their home and country!"
"Even if your family has been treated unfairly, as long as you are a wise man, you should shed your blood for this country. This is what you should do!"
These words were deafening.
But if you think about it carefully, it's all bullshit.
It's just bullshit by rulers to maintain their rule.
Mao Wu asked him: "Song Shoubei, are you willing to die?"
"I am indeed afraid of death, but there is no honor in dying for the country!" Song Wei said seriously.
Mao Wu mercilessly exposed his hypocrisy: "Because you have a pension, if you die, you will become a hero, your son will be favored, and even the emperor can give your son a title with a slap on the head!" "
Mao Wu pointed at himself: "What about me? I'm just an ordinary military household. If I die, I will die. The big shots won't even remember that I have such a name!"
"That's why I become a Japanese pirate, so I have to be strong!"
"Man can conquer nature, I believe in this sentence."
"This is a fallacy!" Song Wei sneered.
"But now, aren't you, the dignified Nanzhili garrison, bargaining with me, a bandit?"
Mao Wu retorted: "If I were just an ordinary military household now, would you look at me?"
"Song Wei, look back at your people!"
"How many people can you remember? You have thousands of people in your hands, how many can you remember?"
Song Wei was slightly stunned, how could this thief have such powerful lips and teeth?
He is demoralizing this general!
"The general said that he has remembered everything. Do you believe it?"
Song Wei sneered: "Your Majesty said that you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and you, Mao Wufeng, are just a person pretending to be asleep!"
"Okay, stop saying these useless words and tell us how Song Shouwei is going to die?"
Song Wei's answer was unacceptable to Mao Wu.
He never thought that he was a rebel, but that the court felt sorry for him, so he became a pirate in order to give himself a chance to survive.
"The four gates in the city are all in my hands. Instead, I should ask you, how do you, Mao Wufeng, want to die!"
Hearing this, Mao Wu burst out laughing: "Song Wei, don't you know how many people you have in your hands?"
"Can we engage in street fighting?"
"The warriors under my command are all equal to ten. Killing your Ming army is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!"
"Will I take this mere city gate seriously?"
Song Wei retorted: "If it were as simple as you said, would you still be nagging me? You would have killed me long ago!"
Mao Wu choked slightly.
This Song Wei is really awesome. Why didn’t you notice it the night before?
"The night before yesterday, you Ming army screamed very fiercely." Mao Wu laughed strangely.
Sure enough it was him!
Suddenly, Song Wei's eyes turned red.
The eyes of the soldiers behind him were bloodshot, and their hatred surged.
"Sneak attacks are your strength. When it comes to street fighting, one of our Ming army is worth ten."
Song Wei was thinking, what is Mao Wu worried about?
Otherwise he wouldn't talk to himself so much.
"Without firearms, your Ming army is like a tiger without teeth. In hand-to-hand combat, who can you defeat?"
Song Wei waved his hand: "Stop talking about these useless things, Mao Wufeng, what exactly do you want to talk about?"
Mao Wu does have scruples.
In fact, according to the order, he should appear in Suzhou Mansion at this time.
But he was worried that Suzhou Mansion was a pocket, and he could not get out after entering it. He already had the intention of retreating and was no longer willing to work for some conspirators.
But he was supported by the conspirators. If he betrayed the conspirators, he was worried that he would not end well.
So I want to seek cooperation with Song Wei and give him a hug.
"Song Wei, I want to cooperate with you." Mao Wu was straightforward.
Song Wei frowned, and the soldiers behind him kept winking at him to prevent him from agreeing.
Yes, Song Wei fell into a strange circle.
He used the soldiers' hatred for the Japanese pirates to mobilize their fighting spirit.
If he cooperates with the Japanese pirates, his soldiers will abandon him immediately, and Song Wei will die in an instant.
But without cooperation, there is no way to survive.
Seeing that Song Wei remained silent, Mao Wudao said: "I can tell you the plan I know. Just open a way for us to go to the sea."
Song Wei is still weighing the pros and cons.
"We can still leave if it's really a street fight, but we'll just suffer some losses."
Mao Wudao: "Song Wei, we can afford to wait, but you can't afford to wait. Their plan is not Songjiang Mansion, but Nanjing City!"
Suddenly!
Song Wei's pupils shrank and he lost his voice: "Nanjing City?"
"The Japanese pirates are already outside the city of Nanjing and can march into the city at any time. The people who decided the time and ordered me to appear here are a group of people."
This batch works well.
Several faces immediately appeared in Song Wei's mind.
"Put me into the sea and I will tell you everything..."
call out!
Mao Wu didn't finish his words.
An arrow shot towards Mao Wu.
Mao Wu has been fighting in the battle formation all year round. He sensed the danger in advance and immediately avoided it, but the arrow still stuck in his shoulder.
"The dog officer stabbed someone in the back!" A female voice came from behind.
At the same time, an arrow shot directly at Song Wei's face.
When Song Wei saw Mao Wu hit by an arrow, he immediately climbed into the table. The arrow missed him and instead killed one of his followers.
"What a vicious arrow!" Song Wei exclaimed.
However, the entire wing was already fighting.
The Ming army and the Japanese pirates fought together.
Song Wei didn't even see clearly who shot that arrow!
At the same time, I was afraid for a while: "There is a spy around me!"
Like Song Wei, Mao Wu also had a look of horror on his face: "There is a spy by my side!"
"kill him!"
Song Wei knew that the only way before him was to kill Mao Wu and take advantage of the chaos to kill the Japanese pirates. The more he killed, the better.
He pulled out his sword and crawled under the table to the other side.
As a result, as soon as he raised his head, an arrow was shot and scratched his cheek.
"Stop running away!" Song Wei propped up the table, used it as a shield, and rushed forward.
On the shore, fighting the Ming army with all their strength, the Japanese pirates were indeed no match for the Ming army.
There are only twenty people on Song Wei's side, while Mao Wu has nearly 50 people.
Mao Wufang retreated steadily, leaving more than 30 corpses behind. They retreated from the wing and retreated into the inner courtyard.
"Don't, don't kill, retreat quickly!" Mao Wu was hit by another arrow.
This arrow is weird.
It was like it was shot from behind. He was very lucky and stabbed in the back. His daughter rescued her in time, otherwise he would have ended up here.
He also determined that there were assassins hidden by conspirators around him.
As long as he disobeys, get rid of him.
Mao Wu was afraid for a while.
"My lord, what shall we do?"
Song Wei's Ming army lost nine men, leaving eleven.
Including Song Wei, there are twelve people.
"They must be killed!" Song Wei said fiercely: "Send the order to go out and kill the Japanese pirates!"
"Sir, don't you wait until dark before taking action?" Lai Liu asked in a low voice.
"No wait, start now!"
Song Wei suddenly noticed Lai Liu. Lai Liu's quiver was empty. Was the arrow that shot him shot by Lai Liu?
Anyway, the twenty people around him are all suspects.
The quiet Qingpu City immediately became chaotic.
The Ming army rushed into the houses with red eyes and started a fierce street battle.
"Revenge when there is an enemy, pay with blood!"
The Ming army roared and chopped.
Japanese pirates don’t wear armor, and they don’t wear armor today either!
The Japanese pirates used Japanese knives, and they also used war knives.
On the contrary, the Japanese pirates who had the advantage were beaten back steadily.
The Japanese pirates who had laughed wildly on top of the corpses of their comrades the night before were beaten to a pulp by them, and the corpses fell to the ground one by one.
And Song Wei's banner appeared in the center of the city.
"Have revenge!"
"eye for eye!"
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the battle flags were flying and roars were heard.
A group of mourning soldiers let out desperate roars.
They use their own swords to avenge their comrades, and use their own swords to wash away the insults on their bodies.
The Japanese pirates are always fierce.
In front of the very courageous Ming army, they were being defeated like chickens and dogs.
The Japanese pirates were leaderless, and their leader Mao Wu was trapped in the county government office.
Song Wei appeared in the military formation.
Like the soldiers, he held a sword and fought with the Japanese pirates with bayonets.
"Revenge! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
All the Ming troops, with red eyes, shouted while killing.
Soon, the Japanese pirates collapsed.
In the entire Qingpu city, [-] Japanese pirates were killed by [-] defeated soldiers. It took nearly an hour for the Japanese pirates to collapse.
When it became completely dark, the Japanese pirates fled for their lives.
The city gate was controlled by the Ming army. Anyone who approached the city gate would be killed by arrows.
The Japanese pirates cried for their fathers and mothers in the dark night city.
Some people even began to beg for surrender from the Ming army.
"Kill all!"
Song Wei roared.
"Sir, the sad soldiers will win."
"After all, there are many Japanese pirates. Our army has been killing them for more than an hour and is already exhausted."
"If the Japanese pirates know that they have no way out, they will fight to the death. The victory or defeat is yet to be determined."
"If we lose, we won't be able to explain it to the center!"
The military officer reminded him.
Song Wei's eyes flashed sharply: "Take in the prisoners!"
The Ming army took prisoners, and large numbers of Japanese pirates begged to surrender.
The Japanese pirates committed crimes at sea because the Ming Dynasty did not have sea ships. They fought on land because they killed ordinary people and ran away after killing them.
If they really fight in the street like this, they are really no match for the Ming army.
Of course, if the guardsmen can only fight with the wind, no one can defeat them, let alone the Japanese pirates. There is no need to mention such soldiers.
Two more hours passed.
The soldiers came over and reported: "Sir, we have surrendered approximately [-] prisoners."
"So many?" Song Wei was surprised.
"Sir, we have killed about 4000 people, and there are still about seven or eight people scattered in the city, hiding, and they can fight back at any time."
Song Wei was even more shocked: "A total of 4000 people?"
"According to the prisoners' accounts, there are 3000 Japanese pirates!"
This number really scared Song Wei.
Fortunately, he destroyed the lead in time. If the Japanese pirates were equipped with firecrackers and lead, the Ming army would definitely be unlucky tonight.
"How much have we lost in battle?" Song Wei's face returned to a relaxed smile.
Instead, the man did not dare to say: "Sir, approximately 600 people were lost in the battle..."
Song Wei's eyes widened: "How did you die? During the street fighting, our army was victorious, so why did we suffer such heavy losses?"
The man didn't dare to say.
In street fighting, the number of soldiers lost was about 1000.
The real losses were caused by searching every household and falling into the trap.
The purpose of searching people's houses was actually for property. The victorious Ming army did not seize prisoners calmly, but wanted to make a lot of money from the Japanese pirates.
As a result, the losses were heavy.
Song Wei's expression changed sharply: "Send the order and kill all the prisoners immediately!"
"Sir, it is unlucky to kill prisoners!" the military officials and others advised.
"Is it still unknown? If we don't kill, we will all die here when dawn comes!"
Song Wei shouted: "We brought 5000 people, and [-] people died. Where are the injured?"
"How can these people control more than 1 prisoners? And there are more than 7000 hidden in the city?"
"What control?"
"Go and kill!"
"Kill in the quickest way!"
Song Wei was anxious.
He made another fatal mistake. He should have always brought this army with him. How could he let them move freely? As a result, the army collapsed!
And killing him will definitely leave a huge stain on him.
What was originally a beautiful battle ended like this!
Song Wei really wanted to slap himself in the face, he was so immature. You can't become a famous general just by reading in a book while marching in the army.
A famous general must go through a long period of actual training on the battlefield, coupled with innate talent, and most importantly, he must have a guide and a good teacher.
He, Song Wei, has everything, but he only suffers from experience.
A total of [-] yuan was paid back, and the plot of the two lists caught up. It was sincere enough!Fighting for tomorrow will be a big chapter~ Fight for it~
