Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 120 Three Staff

"Master Liu, do you know how many pirates there are?"

Finally, someone couldn't help asking questions. Liu Jingyao looked serious and replied in a deep voice: "Zhang Guohua reported that there are about two thousand people, and they came from the Liaodong and our Dengzhou sea areas together. www>

The figure of more than 2000 people indeed accounts for at least [-]% of the pirate power in the Bohai Bay and the outer seas of Shandong.

The pirates in the north were not as powerful as those in the south. They mobilized more than two thousand people at a time. [

Upon hearing this number, everyone, including the military officer, turned very ugly.

Some timid subordinates turned pale with fright and even exclaimed.

"Then how do we go?"

Seeing that Liu Jingyao was not flustered, Ye Shuguang was curious, and asked, "It's still early, and I don't think the pirates will arrive so soon. Moreover, their attack routes are unpredictable. Where should I leave?"

"Master Ye is leaving?"

Liu Jingyao didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Master Ye is also a soldier all his life, and a few gangsters jumped on the beam, so why should he be afraid?"

"To be honest, I'm not afraid." Ye Shuqing's temperament is old and spicy, so excited by Liu Jingyao, he replied in a high voice: "Although a certain is old, he can still ride a strong horse and drive a hard bow. Bow a horse, and you will be safe. Master Liu..."

"I'm just watching the battle from the top of the city. It's almost half a month today. When the time comes, the moon will be white and the wind will be light. Master Ye and I will put wine on the tower and watch the officers and soldiers destroy the thieves. Wouldn't it be a great joy in life?"

"This……"

Rao is Ye Shuqing's military life. From a commanding officer to relying on his own military exploits to command the capital, although he is not leading the army now, most of the glory comes from the Wanli period. From the 11 years from Tianqi to Chongzhen, nearly 30 years have passed. He has never led an army to fight, but he is a general after all, and Liu Jingyao is just a civil servant. In Ye Shuqing's view, although Fushan has good soldiers and horses, there are few swordsmen, no archers, and no artillery. There are only four or five tigers squatting on the top of the city. Small cannons, with such a firepower output, are too dangerous to use to defend the city, let alone a confrontation between the city and the pirates.

You know, pirates roam the seas, jumping into gangs to fight, and after a duel, they will either die themselves or kill all the enemies.Going ashore to plunder, you often encounter officers and soldiers, and you have to fight desperately, with your life as a bet.

After a long time like this, the pirates are fierce and cruel, with rich experience in fighting. There are more than 2000 pirates, and the Shandong Lu Army may have 1 people.

Such a force is likely to alarm the capital's cabinet and the Ministry of War. If Liu Jingyao, a soldier in charge, leaves immediately, he will be an official.

If he was really calm and as usual, watching the battle and defeating the enemy from the top of the city, and the news spread, the governor of Denglai would definitely be in his hands.

It’s just that there are more than 2000 pirates, and the Fushan Camp in front of us may not be able to defend this dilapidated city, and they have to go to war to invite attacks...Of course, if the city is defended, the pirates will plunder and kill the people, and the damage caused by more than 2000 pirates It must be disastrous. The military households and forts scattered around here, as well as the lively market towns such as Fangjiaji, will definitely not escape this time. When the time comes to report, the loss will be too great, except for the thousands of households in Fushan , and Zhang Shouren, the newly appointed guerrilla in coastal defense, plus Liu Jingyao, a soldier in the army, and even local officials such as Jiaozhou magistrate, are afraid that they will all be stripped of their black hats, or even sent to prison for punishment.
