Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 160 It hurts, it hurts, you want my life

The lookout posts deployed on the beach immediately ignited the smoke as soon as they spotted the silhouette of the ship.The highest level, three piles of smoke that had been piled up were all ignited.

Beacon communication was the fastest method of communication in ancient times.

When I saw the smoke at the next sentry point, I immediately lit the highest level of smoke, which was right on the top of the mountain and could be seen by people far away.

And Xiangshan County is just a county, not too big.Using the method of beacon communication, the anti-theft headquarters, where Qianhu Station is located, received the news immediately.

Therefore, the countermeasures originally agreed upon were immediately implemented.

Quick horses flew to various places, including hundreds of household offices, county towns and Panyu County, as well as Guangdong Dusi. Regardless of whether they sent troops or not, they all had to be dispatched.

Zhang Yifan was also here. When he saw the messenger leaving quickly, Qianhu Qi Xiang wanted to lead the main force to the seaside to fight, so he wanted to follow Qi Xiang to fight.

"Prince-in-law, you should go back to the county seat immediately!" Qi Xiang saw this and hurriedly advised him, "There are no swords and guns on the battlefield, so it's better not to go!"

"Why, do you think you can't defeat the pirates?" Zhang Yifan immediately asked after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiang said without hesitation: "Of course I can fight, but my subordinates are worried..."

"Then there's nothing to worry about." After hearing this, Zhang Yifan interrupted him directly and said, "I won't really use a knife or gun to fight the pirates, I just want to see how you kill the enemy. Besides, I'm going, It can also encourage morale and allow soldiers to fight the enemy bravely!”

In fact, he wanted to see how powerful the mandarin duck formation that Qi Xiang had practiced was.Even if it's not as good as his original descendants in history, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

I think back then, Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army and used the mandarin duck formation to kill the enemy. The battle loss ratio was very small, which was rare in Chinese history, and it was called a miracle.

In later generations, there were also movies and TV shows that showed Qi Jiguang killing enemies, but he really couldn't see the power of this mandarin duck formation.Even when Zhu Di competed, he did use the Yuanyang Formation to kill the enemy one-sidedly.But that, after all, is just a competition, it is fake.

Of course Qi Xiang could not imagine what the consort was thinking, and he really thought that the consort meant to supervise the war.As he said, of course he was confident. After thinking about it, he didn't insist.

So, Zhang Yifan followed Qi Xiang, leading five hundred sergeants, and hurried to the place where the smoke was ignited to provide support.

On the way, we encountered reinforcements from two hundred households. Because Zhu Xian also sent troops, there were 200 people in one hundred households and 400 people in two hundred households. Just like this, they merged. Nearly 1000 people.

"Don't worry, Prince Consort, even if tens of thousands of pirates come ashore, it will be fine. With our strength, we can definitely kill them." Qi Xiang loudly reported in order to reassure Zhang Yifan.

Zhang Yifan listened and nodded.

At any rate, he had seen Zhu Di train troops, so he had some insight.It can be seen from the fact that the formation did not disperse after this army gathered and rushed on. Although this army cannot keep up with Zhu Di's [-] soldiers, it is not much worse. It should be better than the Japanese pirates who are screaming and charging, and Pirates and the like are much stronger.

Not to mention, Qi Xiang's subordinates also prepared firearms in advance.

Considering that this is a field battle, there are no ten thousand enemies, they are all in the county town, but several Tiger Crouching Cannons are prepared.

After a while of fighting, just watch the tiger crouching cannon show off its power, it is estimated that it can scare the morale of the pirates.

Zhang Yifan was thinking about these things while riding a horse.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from ahead.

Zhang Yifan looked up and saw that a sergeant was rushing towards this side.

He immediately frowned and said, "What's going on?"

To be honest, Zhang Yifan was really unsure of what he was going through for the first time in a real war.

He was already wondering if there were too many pirates, and there was no time to defend the seaside, and the pirates had already washed ashore.

The previously decided strategy was to eliminate the pirates as close to the coastline as possible.If the pirates were allowed to come ashore, we would not be afraid of them taking down the county town, but we would be afraid of them destroying everywhere.

Qi Xiang saw Zhang Yifan's face and immediately guessed what the prince-in-law was thinking, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, prince-in-law, we are not far from the seaside. If the situation is bad, at least the shouts of death can be heard."

"Yes!" Zhang Yifan suddenly understood after hearing this, nodded, and then said with some confusion, "Why is there no sound? Is there some movement at least?"

In fact, even though Qi Xiang is experienced, he is still a bit strange: it is indeed a bit abnormal!

But they didn't have to wonder for long, as the fast horse was close by.

"Prince Consort, His Highness the Prince of Yan is here; Prince Consort, His Highness the Prince of Yan is here..."

Before he could stop, Kuai Ma announced loudly with a beaming look on his face.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

What is His Majesty King Yan?
Where is it?
Only Zhang Yifan knew, and he was overjoyed when he heard it, and said, "It's okay, I came in time!"

After he finished speaking, he saw that Qi Xiang was still a little confused, so he smiled and explained: "I wrote a letter to King Yan, told him about the situation here, and asked him to send some ships to destroy the pirates. I thought he came here in person!"

This fourth child didn’t hurt him in vain!
Ha ha!Zhang Yifan was so happy that he immediately slapped the horse's butt and said "drive", speeding up the horse and running towards the seaside.

Qi Xiang looked at Zhang Yifan's back and suddenly understood.

In the past, he had actually been quite strange.When the consort encounters a local difficulty, he should write to the emperor as soon as possible so that the problem can be solved. It turns out that the consort has already made arrangements and there is no need to alert the emperor!
King Yan came here in person. It is true that they competed together in the first place. This friendship is better than imagined!

Thinking of this, Qi Xiang hurriedly called a deputy to lead the infantry to follow, while he led a dozen or so knights to follow.

Zhu Wu was not here, and was left by Zhang Yifan to guard Zhu Jingjing. The reason was that with Qi Xiang by his side, safety would be absolutely no problem.

Otherwise, Zhu Wu definitely knew how strong the relationship between King Yan and the Prince Consort was.Because he was the witness to their relationship.

As for Zhang Yifan, he ran to the seaside in one breath and saw that there were probably hundreds of ships parked on the sea, both large and small. Of course, there were more big ships, and small ships assisted.

The flags on the ship were unfurled under the sea breeze.Under the flag, on one side of the ship's side, stood Ming army soldiers all in red shirts.

On the coastline, there were soldiers from Baihusuo and Minzhuang wearing ordinary clothes. Regardless of anything else, they were waving and shouting at the warships.

It's a little far away and I can't hear anything.

Finally, someone heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, turned around and saw that the county magistrate Prince Consort was coming. He immediately shouted excitedly: "The Prince Consort is coming, the Prince Consort is coming..." When other people heard this, they started shouting excitedly: He shouted and made a way to the beach.

"The Prince Consort is here, the Prince Consort is here..."

The shouts from so many people gathered together were loud;

And the crowd made a way to let Zhang Yifan, who was wearing the costume of the Prince Consort, riding a horse to the beach, stood out.

On the flagship at sea, someone immediately flew to report King Yan in the cabin.After Zhu Di heard the news, he immediately rushed to the deck to look out.

"It really is him!" When Zhu Di saw it, he immediately laughed and said to Wu Zhen, the Marquis of Jinghai beside him, "There are so many people at the beach, and the dust behind him, it seems that many people are coming, there must be something really going on. occur!"

Wu Zhen listened, nodded and said: "Looks like we arrived in time!"

Lan Yu was also there, but he didn't speak. He just looked at the consort on the shore, with a little surprise on his face that he saw an acquaintance.

On Zhu Di's side, he ordered with a smile on his face: "Send the signal and ask the prince-in-law to ship over!"

Now he is the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Suppression Army, a serious soldier. He wants to let this boy Zhang Yifan see his real soldiers and experience the power of the big ship. He will definitely be as good as the war horse!

A small boat has been sent over here to contact him, and it can just take the consort there.

Not long after, Zhang Yifan arrived at the flagship. As soon as he climbed onto the flagship along the soft rope, he was hugged by Zhu Di, who had been waiting there.

"Ah ah ah..." Zhang Yifan screamed, and quickly hammered Zhu Di's arm and shouted, "It hurts, it hurts, you are killing me!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di laughed again, then let go of his hands, stepped back and looked at Zhang Yifan, and said with a smile: "Young boy seems to have grown a little taller, but not strong, so he must be lazy again. !”

Zhang Yifan glared at him angrily and showed off his power as soon as they met, right?

But to be honest, it has only been about half a year since we last met, and Zhu Di seems to be a little taller and stronger.This guy is born in the year of Ox.

After looking at it, Zhang Yifan rubbed his arm and said angrily: "I'm lazy, then you are a tortoise and you arrived so late!"

"I've seen the consort!" Marquis Jinghai looked at this scene and saluted first with a smile.

If he is like this, not to mention the blue jade, he also comes forward to pay tribute.

Just now, the two of them knew that the relationship between King Yan and the Prince Consort was not generally good!
Interrupted by the two of them, Zhu Di became more serious, and said to Zhang Yifan: "This opportunity to go south is just to learn the skills of naval warfare from Jing Haihou. It is indeed not very fast."

Having said this, he pointed to the shore with his hand, and then asked: "What, what happened to you here?"

After Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately explained the situation.Including the pirates gathering to attack Xiangshan County for revenge, Marquis Yongjia delayed in sending troops, and even went to the Xiangshan County government office to cause trouble, etc., everything was mentioned.

Jing Haihou next to him didn't expect things to be so complicated, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Zhu Di's eyes were cold when he heard this. Only he could bully this brother-in-law, and now he even let outsiders bully his brother-in-law!

If his eldest sister and brother-in-law were really at odds with each other because of Marquis Yongjia, even the three clans would not be able to compensate him.

With this in mind, Zhu Di said to Zhang Yifan: "I will definitely report this matter to my father and make him pay the price. Let others see that you are not so easy to bully!"

"No, if you want to play, I will play it myself." Zhang Yifan shook his head and replied.

"Huh?" When Zhu Di heard this, he was a little surprised. He looked at Zhang Yifan in confusion and said, "Just forget it? That's not possible! Fortunately, I came and nothing happened to you and my eldest sister. What if I came later? ? You must let him know the price of bullying you! Let others see that you are not so easy to bully!"

Protecting the calf, Zhu Yuanzhang is like this, and classmate Zhu Di is obviously following his example.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan felt Zhu Di's strong desire to stand up for him, so he smiled and said: "I mean, you can handle this matter without bothering my father at all?"

"Me?" Zhu Di couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this.

Wu Zhen and Lan Yu were a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't know what it meant.
Zhang Yifan saw that they didn't understand, so he reminded them: "Aren't you the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army? You are solely responsible for destroying Japanese pirates. Are there any matters related to pirates? One of your powers is to detect traitors..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di blinked and suddenly came back to his senses.

Before he could confirm, Zhang Yifan said to him: "I wanted the navy to help destroy the pirates, but Marquis Yongjia delayed; his son sent troops to help me fight against the pirates, and he came to make trouble. With all these things, I have reason to suspect that he is secretly He is a pirate traitor!"

"..." Jinghaihou and Lan Yu were speechless upon hearing this.

Speaking of being a hereditary marquis, he still has an ironclad certificate, and will he liaise with pirates?Who believes this?

A pirate's fornication with Marquis Yongjia is more or less the same!

However, when Zhu Di heard this, he nodded solemnly and immediately agreed: "That's right, this Yongjia Marquis who has an affair with pirates is most likely a traitor, which is exactly within the scope of my responsibilities!"

After saying that, he prepared to send troops to Guangzhou.You can get there directly along the Pearl River.

However, Zhang Yifan stopped him and said to him: "Let's get down to business first and wipe out those pirates. After everything is settled, we can go to Yongjiahou to settle the score. He can't run away anyway!"

"Okay!" Zhu Di nodded immediately after hearing this, but then said a little embarrassedly, "But where are the pirates? Isn't this difficult to find?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan smiled and said: "There are people among the pirates who have surrendered to the imperial court. There are some here and some in the pirate den. I will let people lead you over and kill all the pirates!"

After hearing this, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's the best, just go there directly. Just in time, let you see the power of our navy. By the way, I can also show you the firearms you came up with. Look at the power of actual combat!"

Zhang Yifan naturally had no objection to this, so he sent a message to the shore and called Zhou Heizi.In addition, Qi Xiang was asked to take the people back to the camp and send a message to Princess Lin'an over there in the county.

Afterwards, Zhang Yifan followed Zhu Di, turned the fleet, and headed towards the pirate den in a mighty manner.

As for Xiangshan County, as the sergeants and minzhuang dispersed, news about reinforcements also spread.
