Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 149
Before dawn the next day, Zhao Xiaohouye led his soldiers and horses to ambush in the woods on the shore.

After waiting for more than an hour, I saw a sea boat flying the moon flag approaching, slowly approaching the shore familiarly.Zhao Xiaohou didn't wait for them to come to a stop, he brought two hundred archers and fifty musketeers to meet them.The rocket waiter asked you if you were afraid?Unless your boat isn't made of wood!Master Zhao Xiaohou had a well-thought-out idea.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese on the bow of the boat were not afraid when they saw them. They just shouted "Hayaku! Hayaku!" behind them.After a while, I saw a row of Chinese girls, about twenty or thirty, being escorted up by the Japanese on the side of the ship.When they saw the military commander of the Celestial Empire on the shore, they all cried out, "Master, save me." Many of them struggled to jump over the side of the boat.

The Japanese hid behind them and laughed, and deliberately used their hands to grab a handful of girls in front of them from time to time.It can be seen that this is not the first time they have used this trick.I don't know when, but a group of people suddenly came to the shore, many of whom were the parents and relatives of the girls. For a while, people on and off the boat burst into tears.

Zhao Xiaohou was dumbfounded. He did not expect that the Japanese would use these captive girls as human shields. He could only stop the bows, arrows and fire guns, and did not know how to get close to the Japanese and attack them.What annoyed him even more was, who brought these people to the front?No matter which side fires, the people bear the brunt.

He stopped, but the Japanese did not stop, and they did not get off the boat. Suddenly, a small square opening opened on the side of the boat, and a cannon protruded from the opening.Li Bin saw the artillery with his sharp eyes and quickly exclaimed: "General, get out of the way! They have artillery!"

Zhao Xiaohou hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat, and then sent the soldiers to drive the gathered people away.

But it was difficult to run on the beach. Some of the people and the soldiers who were driving the people away fell behind. Before they could retreat beyond the range of the artillery, they were blown to the ground by the Japanese pirates' bombs. Everyone was just about to turn around and save the people on the ground. The wounded, another shot came over, and several people who saved others fell down.

The young Marquis was furious, took a bow, set up a rocket, drew the bow to full capacity, and fired hard towards the ship.Zhao Muzhe has been the commander of the Yulin Guard for two years. His other martial arts skills are weaker, but he practices archery every day when he has nothing to do in the palace. His archery skills can catch up with King Duan.He hit the moon flag with an arrow and nailed the flag to the mast. The flag immediately burned brightly.

Fearing that the mast would be burnt, the Japanese people on the boat yelled "Baga! Baga!" Some people climbed up to put out the fire.How could the young Marquis let go of this opportunity?Nocking the arrow again, he shot at the Japanese man on the mast with a sound of "咻", and the Japanese man fell off the deck in response.

At this time, the Japanese pirates' fire was not extinguished, so they hurriedly drove the boat away from the shore.The boat traveled a long way, and the young master and the others couldn't hear the girls' cries, which made all the soldiers on the shore itch.

The Japanese pirates used medium-sized ships, artillery, muskets, and even bows and arrows on the shore, which were all a deterrent to them. However, they used the kidnapped girls as human shields, which made it impossible for Xiaohouye and others to use their weapons to prevent them from attacking.However, they were condescending on the ship, and attacked the Chinese soldiers on the beach, but they had a geographical advantage.

Li Bin counted the casualties and found three dead, including one civilian and two soldiers, and more than ten injured.But the Japanese burned a flag and killed one person, but did not damage his vitality.

On that day, Zhang Zhi, the supervisor of the army, wrote in the inspection report to the court: General Zhao led his troops to fight against thousands of Japanese pirates, causing many casualties among the people and the army.Requesting the imperial court to allocate [-] silver to compensate the people along the coast to relieve the grievances of the people.The words are all written correctly, but the order of the words is a little wrong. But how could the court thousands of miles away know?

Zhang Zhi handed the sealed letter to Lu Ping, and said with a smile: "Lin Youlu did a good job today, and he came in time. When you see him later, praise him for me. By the way, has his filial piety been delivered yet?"

"It's already here, Overseer. Magistrate Lin's tribute is a total of 20 taels of silver. The 150 million taels from the Guangdong and Fujian Prefectures will be transported directly back to the capital by canal after they are collected. Today, there is also food and salary that arrived later, and I have also withheld it. Yes." Lu Ping said with a flattering smile: "Are you going to send it back to the capital with the letter?"

Zhang Zhi smiled and nodded his head with his finger, and said: "You are loyal! How much is the food and salary for a mere 1 people? How can the Duke of the state see it? Just send it to my house. Send the letter to Duke Ji's house , find someone to secretly deliver the money to Prince Xian's Mansion." Soon, King Duan received a copied letter from Ji Baiyu, and after comparing it with the letter written by Shen Congxi, he knew which play Zhang Zhi was acting in.

"Let them pass." King Duan folded the letter and said, "His money in the two lakes has just been robbed. If we take action again, it will arouse their suspicion. This letter is more important than the money."

"Zhang Zhi is really good at counting. Thousands of people facing the enemy have become thousands of enemies. It is estimated that not a single cent of the [-] yuan he asked for to comfort the people will fall into the hands of the people. The appetite of these people It's so big, it won't be long before your Xie family will be eaten away by moths like them." Tang Yu shook his head and said.

"This is his usual style. He is also able to fool my indifferent father. How can the ministers not know this? The day he returns to Beijing is when he is imprisoned. Let him fool around again. It doesn't matter if it takes a few days. When the time comes, the old and new accounts will be settled together!" King Duan sneered.When he replied, he added an extra sentence, asking Shen Congxi to beware of Zhang Zhi's trouble behind his back.

"Oh? Do you already have a way to bring down Zhang Zhi?" Tang Yu asked.

Xie Ruitang shook his head: "This old fox has dragged the emperor into him one after another. If he can't hit the vital point, even if he sues him, he won't die. I think we can take advantage of Dongchang's dissatisfaction with him. , let them bite the dog, it is more convenient than us taking action ourselves. Moreover, if it falls into the hands of Dongchang, he will never get out alive, with Yan Shiyi watching! "

Speaking of Yan Shishi, Xie Ruitang asked again: "When will you return to Beijing on Shishi?"

"It should be these two days. What he brought back was 60, and the rest was sent back to Hunan."

"This time, according to the rules of the world, the Cao Gang and the Tang Sect each took 140 yuan, and we still have [-] million. I plan to let Mr. Zhu open several resurrection halls in various provinces of the Celestial Dynasty. One will serve as our contact point. Secondly, it will be convenient to do something for the local people in the future." Xie Ruitang looked at Tang Yu and said.

Tang Yu nodded with a smile and said, "I can't be the shopkeeper Ji's master. I absolutely can't take the [-] from the Tang Sect. Let's put it together in the money you opened the pharmacy. Luxianglou and Tang Sect are in the provinces. There are also contact points, but after all, the people they face are different. Great doctors treat the country, while small doctors treat people. Opening a pharmacy is indeed a good way to be close to the people, and it is also a way to cure diseases and save people, with immeasurable merits.”

Prince Duan smiled and said: "It was Haitang's idea to open Fushengtang all over the world. The patent medicines she launched in Fushengtang were gradually accepted by the people, and it became more convenient to get medicine for common diseases. She also said, tell you What she said is: Good medicine heals people, and good people heals the country."

"This little girl is indeed knowledgeable and worthy of being the mother of a country!" Tang Yu laughed.

Wang Duan thought of Haitang, who is the mother of a country, and was angry with that woman for no reason on her birthday, and his heart became angry for no reason!
Am I, Xie Ruitang, someone you can threaten?
