Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 110

Wuli Bridge was built in the eighth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is located in Anhai Town, Jinjiang. , all because of its maritime trade with Nanyang.

Now that the Ming Dynasty implements the sea ban, this place has become an important channel for the smuggling of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. East and West go ashore from here, walk along the Wuli Bridge, and enter the inland.

Now the imperial court has recruited the largest official to be Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong was ordered by the coastal defense guerrilla to serve as the "five tiger guerrilla generals" and sit in Anhai Town. Now after four years of development, Zheng Zhilong's army has reached more than 7 people, in the base camp of Taiwan It has more than 20 pirate troops from various countries, and even built a mansion in Anhai.

Zheng's Mansion is located in the north of Anping Bridge, from Xidai to Xigang in the west, Xidiantou in the north, Anping Qiaotou in the south, and directly leads to Wugang Port, covering an area of ​​138 mu.The main structure is Xieshan style with five bays and thirteen frames, with three gates, double fire lanes and five entrances to the courtyard.Wing halls, pavilions and pavilions on both sides face each other, and the rings are used as barriers.There is "Dunren Pavilion" in the east, "Taiyun Building" in the west, "Catholic Hall" in the front hall, and "Xiaosi Hall" in the middle hall, with a grand scale.There is a "Zhiyuan Garden" behind the big house, surrounded by walls, sparsely surrounded by hills, pavilions, abodes, ponds, small bridges, winding paths, beautiful trees, exotic flowers and herbs, until the 12th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong Destroy the family and restore the Ming Dynasty, and destroy the mansion.

Now suddenly an army broke into Zheng Zhilong's territory and robbed all the goods of the Li family's maritime trade. The Li family is doing business honestly, paying the docking fee to Zheng Zhilong's official party every year, and receiving the Zheng family's command flag of.

Now someone dares to break ground on Tai Sui. As the biggest pirate and warlord on the road, Zheng Zhilong, whose strength has swelled to the peak at this time, will never allow such a thing to happen again. This is not only a serious blow to the dignity of the Zheng family, but also The damage to the reputation of the Zheng family will not be so pleasant if the merchants want to pay for it in the future.

What made Zheng Zhilong most angry was not the prestige and reputation, but the sudden appearance of this army, which was so untraceable that it robbed so many large ships from the Li family and disappeared overnight. If this army did not come to plunder the goods, but to take his life, he couldn't imagine it. I'm afraid his head would hang on the mast the next day, and he would still be dreaming!

"Investigate! Give me a thorough investigation. Someone who dares to do something on Tai Sui's head is looking for death." Zheng Zhilong is a veritable king of the sea. At this time, Henan also depends on his face. Breaking away from the life of beating life and beating to death, after several years of nourishing Qi, the whole person appears not angry but powerful, even more powerful.

At this time, when the dormant tiger moved, the mountains and forests trembled, and the people under him became incomparably diligent and cautious, not daring to make any mistakes.

Although Zheng Zhilong's power is so huge in the eyes of ordinary people, not to mention the army of victims of the drought that he recruited, and the pirates entrenched in Dawan (Taiwan), but when he landed, in the eyes of some people Here, he is still a snake without feet, and he wants to beat the snake, just to see if they are willing.

The things belonging to the Li family, not only the sea trade and sea goods were robbed, but the workshops in various places were harassed by rascals, and suddenly there were many invisible black hands outside Jiujiang City, harassing the people wantonly, arresting the young and strong, all of these things All the spearheads were pointed at the Red Clothes Army in the city.

The two armies had only just received the fire, but the various forces outside the city had already mobilized themselves. It was strange that Li Mingyang, who had the upper hand, suddenly lost his hurry and stopped attacking the city. Putting on the cannon coat, he retracted the protruding claws.

At this time, Zhu Gan also had no idea what Li Mingyang wanted to do, but he was happy to delay the time so that Lu Xiangsheng and the people below could get familiar with the situation and step up their integration. However, he believed that the two armies would eventually have a tragic battle, and this The day of World War I is definitely not far away.

After comforting the injured people in the city, Zhu Gan left amidst a voice of gratitude, and led the people towards Yu Song's Huzitou battalion. This guy is a full-fledged brute, and he has offended many people with his rampage!

Entering the Tiger Department, Zhu Gan took this name because he hoped that they would be as brave as tigers, but Yu Song trained them like a rock, with a little less agility and a little more solidity, but he didn't know how to be brave. Following his training, he used [-]% of his strength in each assassination without any slack.

They were sweating profusely, and Zhu Gan suddenly had an illusion that Yu Song was silent, could it be that their combat power was already comparable to that of Long Zitou!

As soon as this idea came out, it kept lingering in his mind and couldn't get rid of it. He really wanted to pull the dragon head over immediately and have a good battle with them.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The heavy battle formation suddenly let out a loud shout of killing, the murderous aura was astonishing, like a sea of ​​red, the spear points that suddenly pierced gathered together, shining brightly, like stars shining in a sea of ​​blood, this is just Strengthen their bodies and exercise their courage. The real combat power depends on tempering on the battlefield.

Zhu Gan was awakened by the sound of killing, he came back to his senses, saw Yu Song coming up to greet him, and when he saw Li, his dull face suddenly revealed a bit of shyness, which made his dark face even darker, 嗫He said: "My lord, I have something to do with my humble position, please fulfill it, my lord."

Zhu Gan was in a good mood, waved his hand without any hesitation and said, "Speak! I see that your training is very good. You are neat and beautiful, but you are more disciplined."

Hearing Zhu Gan's praise, Yu Song's face turned from green and black to black and purple, and he said calmly, "My lord, I want to lead the troops out of the city and fight against the government army."

Zhu Gan frowned, his face stiffened a bit, he didn't expect Yu Song to be so belligerent in his heart, he wanted to shake his head and refuse, but seeing Yu Song's expectant eyes, his heart relaxed a bit, sighed : "Although Ma Zhixiang was transferred to the Wolf Battalion by me, he has an old soldier in his hands. I sent him outside the city early to make amends. When you go out this time, don't contact him. Be careful!"

Yu Song raised his head in surprise. What Zhu Gan said meant that he would release himself from the city, then fight guerrillas and harass the officers and soldiers on the periphery. Will this war last for a long time?You must know that the officers and soldiers have the support of the imperial court and the Li family's huge supplies. Once the red-clothed army is dragged into the quagmire, it will be very difficult to get out!

After all, they are thieves, their start-up time is too short, and they are not stable at all. Only continuous victories can hold them together, but once they are dragged into the quagmire, it will be a disaster for the Red Army!He wouldn't be ignorant of the purpose of letting himself go out to fight guerrillas.

However, although he doesn't like to talk, he sees many things very clearly, so he didn't show any face to Qin Liangcheng that day. Apart from beating Qin Liangcheng, it was a signal to isolate himself and never form a party. Zhu Gan seemed very He is easy to talk, and he is close to the lower-level soldiers in every word and deed, but he has seen through Zhu Qian's essence. He is a person with his own opinions in his heart, and has a strong desire to control everything around him.

Even Zhu Gan didn't realize this desire to control, and it was precisely because of this desire to control that Zhu Gan was able to do everything, and wanted to make his own performance perfect, a perfect leader, a perfect guide.

But once there is something beyond his control, he will try his best, and may even become very extreme.

And all the subtle things Zhu Qian did are traceable, such as irregular inspections, conversations with ordinary soldiers, and mingling with each other.He built a military school camp, instilled various ideas, cultivated thousands and hundreds of soldiers who were loyal to him, and then silently placed them in the camp, integrated the army, and vigorously promoted generals from the south to form a balance with the Zhuozhou people in the army.

He knows that this strong desire to control is the driving force for him to move forward, and it is also the basic condition for him to come to the present and win all the time. Therefore, in order to follow Zhu Gan, he has to let himself be under his control. It's not clever, it's just stupid.

It was dark and cool at night, and the officers and soldiers outside the city had already camped a mile away. In the darkness, one or two oil lamps were occasionally lit in the military tents, like the glasses of wild animals. The entire military camp was like a huge monster.

There was no movement in the city, and the officers and soldiers were happy and quiet. They washed up and went to bed early. Li Mingyang, who had always been cautious and calculating, changed his appearance, and he didn't restrain the people below. There was a weirdness everywhere.

"Go to bed early! I'm still betting that the red-clothed thieves in the city will break out tomorrow."

"Hmph! It's hard for the higher-ups to ignore it. Don't take advantage of this time to have fun and get addicted to your hands. Let me tell you, the red-clothed thief was also beaten. He used to be so vicious. Head, now I’m staying in the city like a shrinking tortoise, I won’t come out, even if I come out, it will be a night attack! We gamble all night, just in case of the red-clothed thief.”

"If you don't listen, you will suffer sooner or later. Bet! Bet! I just gave out a little money, and if I don't send it back home, I will bet it all!"

Hearing what he said, the faces of the people who were gambling showed a bit of embarrassment, but then someone yelled and started gambling again.

"Now following General Li, do you still worry about money if you have money? If you win the war in the future, the money you gamble now counts as a ball."

Hearing their mutterings, the veteran stopped persuading him, and covered his crotch with his hands. There was a few taels of money he had just paid, all of which were sewn there by him, with a smile on his lips, looking forward to the red clothes. The army must not go out of the city at night to steal the camp, listening to the yelling of gambling, gradually falling into a sweet dreamland.
