Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 368 Is this considered a two-way journey?

In the afternoon, four more large ships quietly docked in the other four directions around Ryukyu Island.

A total of 10,000 Ming troops guarded the main roads on several outlying islands to prevent anyone from escaping.

It was Wang Fu and others who came ashore.

Afterwards, as originally agreed, the four teams sent people to contact Zhu Zhen who was landing on the island.

Zhu Chu did not rush deep into the mountains and forests to attack the pirate's stronghold. Instead, he followed Qian Guixian's strategy and planned to focus on attacking the heart first. He released the only prisoner and let him return to the stronghold and quietly go to Zhao'an. More The pirate, and as agreed, asked him to open the gate of the village at night.

At this time, they received the good news that Wang Fu and the others had landed on the island, so he sent an order and asked the four teams to slowly start to surround the pirate village, and at the same time, he also started to march.

"Your Highness," Tang Xin came over, hesitant to speak.

Due to his previous mistakes, which almost caused the entire army to fall into catastrophe, Tang Xin became much silent.

But at this time she couldn't help but said: "Please don't be careless."

Zhu Zhen looked over with a smile.

Tang Xin lowered his head, looking shocked.

"What? You're frustrated now? Is it possible that Uncle Tang's daughter doesn't suffer setbacks like this?" Zhu Ming joked with a smile, and reached out to lift Tang Xin's chin, making her look up at him.

Tang Xin bit the corner of her mouth, narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If you do this to me again, I will fight you."

She just looks gentle and sweet, and very deceptive, but in fact she is very strong, and she really dares to whip people with a steel whip.

Zhu Ming coughed slightly and put down his hand, saying: "I'm afraid you'll be hit too hard all at once. It's okay, don't take it to your heart. Since I dared to let you be the commander at that time, I thought about the possibility. There are consequences.”

"You mean you didn't think highly of me from the beginning?" Tang Xin's face became even more ugly.

"Xin'er, don't make unreasonable troubles with me. What I was talking about was a naval battle, and I have no experience. Regarding ship scheduling, team arrangements, etc. But now they have landed, and these pirates even have cannons. Obviously it's not that simple. You really underestimated the enemy," Zhu Zhen will not give in blindly, and he must teach him a lesson when it is time to do so.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, when Zhu Zhen was chasing Dao Ganmeng, wasn't he also worried about being hit halfway?

He wasn't careless at that time.

So when he got off the ship, Zhu Zhen had already thought about the possibility of being ambushed by pirates.

It's just that he didn't remind Tang Xin and deliberately wanted her to suffer.

In fact, Tang Xin has a higher self-esteem than Xu Miaojin. It may be because Tang He's experience has made her feel inferior, and inferiority sometimes leads to excessive so-called self-esteem.

Proper self-esteem is naturally a good thing, and it is also a sign of self-cleanliness.

But excessive self-esteem is a bad thing.

Especially generals, once they become arrogant, it is the beginning of their demise.

"After all, you are my woman. It is a good thing to suffer a loss and learn a lesson early. I don't want you to become an arrogant shrew in the future," Zhu Ming said bluntly.

Tang Xin blushed and opened her mouth, but she no longer had any resentment in her heart and could only stamp her feet, having been teased by him in vain.

On the side, Xu Miaojin ate the dog food with cold eyes, which was the dog food that her husband and the mistress spread. At this time, she finally couldn't help but said: "No matter what, that guy can't be trusted easily."

He was talking about the pirates who had been deliberately let go before.

"I know," Zhu Xi turned to look at Xu Miaojin with a smile and said, "Sister, I haven't been so confused by Xin'er yet, are you treating me like a fool?"

Tang Xin gritted his teeth and could not utter a word.

She said it as if she was Daji or Yang Yuhuan.

Could it be that she told him not to be king again?

But for some reason, there is still a little joy in my heart, so what?

"After all, that guy was just scared out of his wits at the time, and he saw with his own eyes that there were only more than a thousand of us. But there are still 1,200 pirates in the village. No matter what, they have the advantage," Zhu Chu became serious and looked up into the depths of the mountain forest.

At this time, they had already started walking towards the depths of Xiaoliuqiu Island, and their target was naturally the pirate village.

Then Zhu Ming began to analyze: "If we think about normal people, I am afraid that we are going to be plotted. And there is only one survivor who escaped. Anyone who is not a fool can guess that there must be something hidden in it. As long as he is tricked by that If the pirate leader named Chen Zuyi forces us to question him, we will be betrayed."

This is not difficult to imagine.

"However, Chen Zuyi would never have thought that we were just a false shot. All he saw were more than a thousand of us, but he didn't know that our troops landing on the island were more than 10,000. If Chen Zuyi was smarter, he would open the door The village gate just accepts the imperial edict and pays it back. If he dares to use his plan to eat us, it can only be said that he has a weak heart and a snake swallows an elephant."

Zhu Zhen showed absolute confidence: "In the end, he took advantage of his tricks, or I was tricked and tried again, who is the final winner? Let's wait and see."

"So that's it," Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin looked at each other and had to sigh. There was a reason for Zhu Zhen's almost undefeated journey.

It seems that the strategy is to attack the heart, but in fact it is a hidden secret, and it coincides with Tang Xin's formation.

If Chen Zuyi thought that the Ming army only had more than a thousand people on the surface, he would definitely suffer a big loss, or even face annihilation.

Even Qian Gui and Gu Wen fell into deep thought after listening to Zhu Chu's words, and finally took a breath.

They had to admit that they only thought about the first floor, and Zhu Zhen had already thought about the fifth floor.

Then, without any hesitation, everyone went straight into the depths of the jungle to explore while paying careful attention to possible traps.

Finally, a sizable cottage was discovered halfway up a mountain.

As mentioned before, Taiwan’s history is not very long, it can be said that it started from the Ming Dynasty.

This is because Taiwan is an island with numerous mountains, especially the five major mountain ranges. It is said that there are hundreds of large and small peaks.

Therefore, on the undeveloped island, there are almost no resources that can be developed. After all, it is still the agricultural era, and this island cannot support many people.

But this became a popular place for pirates.

This cottage is blocked halfway up the mountain, with cliffs on both sides. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to pass by the cottage. It can be said that it is a natural chasm that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Unless you go around to the other side of the mountain and then attack down from the top.

But from a distance, this cottage is surrounded by thick and tall wood, making it difficult to attack easily.

Zhu Chu came to the foot of the mountain. He was not in a hurry to go up the mountain. Instead, he looked up while hiding in the forest for some shade.

This is a good place, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if he has 10,000 troops, it will be difficult to break through.

At that time, if the enemy shoots arrows from the city, there will be countless casualties.

"It's a pity that I'm too lazy to fight with them, otherwise as long as I block the road down the mountain, I will trap them to death," Zhu Ming shook his head.

Although it is indeed an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, if the village has only one way up the mountain, there is also only one way down the mountain.

How much food is there in the cottage?

If Zhu Zhen was not in a hurry, he could trap all these pirates and starve to death as long as he guarded the way down the mountain.

It's a pity that he has to continue on the road, so naturally he can't delay for too long.

So Zhu Ming first asked his subordinates to prepare for rest.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Wearing thick armor and running in the sun all the time can easily lead to heatstroke.

At the same time, Zhu Chu sent spies to find the locations of the other four troops.

When it was almost evening, Wang Fu, Li Gui, Niu Sheng and Na Xie Yu each led their troops and rushed to Zhu Chu.

"See Your Highness."

The four generals saluted one after another.

"Everyone, get up."

Zhu Zhen raised his hand to support him.

The four of them stood up one after another.

Wang Fu asked: "Your Highness, what is the situation now? Didn't we agree to encircle the pirates and catch them all? Why did it turn into attacking the city and taking the territory? Why did we divide our troops into five groups if we had known this?"

Tang Xin blushed.

Wasn't she the one who proposed the strategy of dividing the troops?

At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Zhu Zhen glanced at Tang Xin with a smile and excused her: "If the pirates had seen our incoming army, they would have run away long ago. How could they hide here and be blocked by us. So Xin'er's strategy is still very successful. ." Indeed, if Chen Zuyi had seen the scale of the Ming army from the beginning, he would not have dared to block it.

Precisely because Chen Zuyi only saw more than a thousand people, he was reluctant to part with the property in the stronghold, so he took the risk and returned to the stronghold, hoping to hold on to the stronghold.

Wang Fu nodded to show his understanding, but looked at others, especially Xie Yu.

Zhu Ming's heart moved and he understood. Since Wang Fu knew that this strategy was the work of Tang Xin and knew Tang Xin's identity, he would naturally not embarrass Tang Xin.

But now this team is not simple. There are five thousand people from Xie Yu in it. How will they feel?

Although you are a prince, are you so nepotistic?

This is the military, not a child's play.

Wang Fu relied on being Zhu Chu's confidant, so he spoke deliberately in order to get Zhu Chu to say these words so that others would not complain.

Zhu Xi smiled, as expected of Lao Wang.

As for whether Xie Yu has any complaints, it's best not to.

"What to do next?" Wang Fu asked again, wanting to know Zhu Chu's arrangements.

Zhu Chuhe explained his previous strategy of focusing on attacking the heart.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the enemy won't be fooled," Xie Yu couldn't help but say, "I have also heard about the reputation of Chen Zuyi and his gang. Not only are the two brothers brutal and tyrannical, but they are also very skillful in dealing with their subordinates, with clear rewards and punishments. As long as you are willing to do your best, Those who do, will gain a lot. That’s why their brothers have been able to rise rapidly, and it is said that they already have more than 2,000 men."

Chen Zuyi does have some skills.

After all, Chen Zuyi in history also became the king of Bolin State.

If Chen Zuyi hadn't committed suicide himself, he really wouldn't have died.

It is said that after Chen Zuyi established himself as king, he also paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and became a minister.

But this guy set out with an empty boat, plundered all the way, and gave away whatever he grabbed. He even came back without success, burning, killing, and looting all the way.

The key is that he will not even let go of the Ming Dynasty's ship, regardless of whether you are a compatriot or not.

So he deserves to die.

Now Chen Zuyi has not yet risen, but he has the misfortune to meet Zhu Zhen and is trapped in this mountain stronghold. At this time, he may not know that his death has come.

Zhu Chu looked at Xie Yu.

Xie Yu gritted his teeth and continued: "The so-called heart attack strategy may have been discovered by the thieves. I would like to ask Your Highness to be careful and not to be exploited by the enemy."

Zhu Zhen smiled: "I am not an idiot. There are only 1,200 people in this village at most, and I have killed hundreds of people before. Xie Yu, Xie Yu, you underestimate me. . Do you want to follow a trick? I am afraid that they will not open the door."

Xie Yu's heart moved, and he finally understood. Is this going to be a trick?

Co-authored by Your Highness, Are You Doing Matryoshka?

But Zhu Chu glanced at Qian Gui again and thought that with his ability, he should not have expected that Chen Zuyi would see through the heart-attacking plan, or had he already calculated that he had a back-up plan?

Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway.

At the same time, in the village, as the big leader, Chen Zuyi could naturally occupy a large and luxurious house.

Although the house was only made of wood and looked a bit simple, the house was filled with luxurious utensils. Even behind Chen Zuyi, there was a pile of gold and silver jewelry piled on the ground.

This is Chen Zuyi's strategy, to let those who see it understand that as long as they follow him, they can make a fortune, including those who are popular and drink spicy food.

But today, a battle that was thought to be a sure thing ended up costing a large amount of manpower, making Chen Zuyi's face gloomy.

Sitting on the chair with a golden sword, Chen Zuyi was shirtless, revealing his body, holding a sea bowl in his hand, and took a big gulp of wine, showing his ruthless and rough style.

Suddenly, Chen Zuyi slammed the bowl on the ground and shouted: "Bring me that traitor."

There were several people in the room, led by his younger brother Chen Zongsheng, who were all frightened and trembled.

Outside, a person was quickly brought in. He was the only survivor who had survived before, and he was also the guy who was targeted by Zhu Zhen's plan.

It turned out that as soon as he returned to the village, he was immediately controlled.

Chen Zuyi smiled evilly and said coldly: "Do you really think I am a fool? So easy to fool? Why should the Ming army let you go? Come on, drag him down, chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs."

"Big boss, wait a minute, listen to me," the man hurriedly knelt down and shouted out everything that had happened before. He even told everything he had vaguely heard about the matter of attacking the heart first.

"Big boss, I was frightened before, so I knelt down and begged for mercy, but I had no intention of betraying you. I wanted to explain it to you when I came back. How dare I betray you," the man cried Begging for mercy.

"Is everything you said true?" Chen Zuyi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous look flashing in his eyes.

If you can take the initiative, maybe it's not a bad thing?

"It's true. Those Ming soldiers are very bad. They don't care about my life or death, and they want me to open the gate of the village at night. I will never betray you," the man quickly expressed his loyalty.

Chen Zuyi suddenly sneered and said: "No, you have to open the village gate. If you don't open the village gate, how can I use your trick to lure them in and kill them all?"

The man was stunned, and then quickly flattered him: "As expected of the big leader, those Ming soldiers will never think that you have seen through their bad intentions. By then, as long as you use a little trick, you can catch them all. The big leader is high ah."

Chen Zuyi laughed. He had to say that this boy was really capable of flattery. His words of flattery all touched the seams of his heart, which was very comfortable.

So Chen Zuyi had someone let him go, just as he was needed to use him in his plan.

"These Ming soldiers don't know how to live or die, and they dare to come against me. Don't blame me for being cruel. Now I have the advantage," Chen Zuyi suddenly became proud.

Strategy? So will he.

But Chen Zongsheng said: "Brother, we still need to consider the long term."

It was Chen Zongsheng who had guessed before that although the ship was a merchant ship belonging to the Xie family, the people on board were probably Ming troops.

It was also because of fear that Chen Zongsheng did not follow Chen Zuyi to the shore to snipe, so he fled back to the village in the first family.

Now Chen Zongsheng is also feeling frightened. He always feels that something is going to happen, but he can't explain why.

So Chen Zongsheng wanted to persuade his elder brother not to act rashly.

But Chen Zuyi said indifferently: "Brother, although we are pirates, we have almost controlled the surrounding sea areas. We are already the overlord of the sea. Even Zhu Yuanzhang is just an emperor on land and does not dare to get involved in this. Things at sea. What are you afraid of?"

"But brother, I saw that the man in golden armor who got off the ship before may not be a mortal, and I'm afraid he won't be simple," Chen Zongsheng persuaded him earnestly.

But Chen Zuyi said: "Oh? This is better. When I capture him alive, I can take him to the Ming Dynasty court in exchange for benefits. It would be better if he was a prince. Then Zhu Yuanzhang made each of his sons king, if it was for his son , I’m afraid I can also seek a title of king? Become a king with a different surname? Hahahahaha.”

This person is really crazy and crazy.

As the saying goes, if God wants to destroy something, it must first make it crazy.

At this time, Chen Zuyi was confident that he had the opportunity and intelligence, so he didn't take his brother's advice to heart at all. He only felt that the advantage was mine, and why did the Ming army care?

"Tonight, we will catch them all."

At this moment, Zhu Zhen and Chen Zuyi said these words at the same time with an extremely tacit understanding.

But once both the enemy and ourselves are so certain to win, what awaits them will be an extremely cruel battle in which either you die or I die.

Time began to pass slowly, and as night fell, an undercurrent of smell began to permeate the sky above the entire mountain.

As the moon quickly rises into the sky, when the bright moon hangs in the sky.

Zhu Chu finally waved his hand: "Go up the mountain."

At the same time, in the cottage, Chen Zuyi held a big sword and shouted: "Open the door and go greet our distinguished guests."

Both sides started running toward each other.

Then, with a "squeak" sound, under the night cover, the pirate who was released during the day opened the gate of the village, then subconsciously looked outside, and was suddenly stunned.

The darkness in front of me was full of people. This was not a thousand men and horses, but an army of ten thousand people.

"No," the pirate was about to shout a warning.

But with a "search" sound, a spear was thrust out of Xu Miaojin's hand, and it pierced the pirate's throat accurately.

Zhu Chu raised his hand and pointed forward: "Kill."

Before the soldiers of the Ming army could respond, a beautiful figure rushed out, it was Tang Xin.

She gritted her teeth, trying to make up for her previous mistakes.
