Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 389
After the reign of Zhengde, Ming called all pirates Japanese pirates, but except for those warriors and ronin from the Japanese kingdom, the rest were seaside powerhouses in Zhejiang and Fujian. By the late Jiajing Dynasty, it was Daming who played a leading role The sea giants.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou fought hard in the southeast for decades, but the pirates finally did not dare to cause harm to the inland, and set their targets on the sea where no one could control them.

After such a long period of fighting, Daming's understanding of these "Japanese pirates" has become more and more in-depth. There are notes that "the so-called Japanese pirates are only two or three out of ten real Japanese".

The pirates' attack on Tianjin Wei can be regarded as bandits disturbing the town. It is a local matter and does not need to be involved so much. Wang Tong's positioning is also the same, so as not to wipe out the bandits and cause other troubles for nothing According to his estimate, even if there are pirates who come to Tianjin Wei, they are just those pirates from the north, and there will not be any real pirates among them. The pirates who can use real pirates today are all first-class thieves at sea Partner.

However, when the body was examined, it was found that there were real Japanese pirates. This is a serious matter, and it must not be concealed. It can only be reported truthfully. With real Japanese pirates, the matter will rise to the level of a national war.

**********
When Wang Tong was rushing to the Haihe River, more than a thousand young men from the bow of the boat who were temporarily transferred also rushed to the commercial area. They carried the corpses out, covered the blood on the ground with soil, and then, under the supervision of the soldiers, took the pirates' weapons Collectively, nearly [-] large and small seagoing ships remained in the sea, and the sailors of the merchant ships were temporarily requisitioned to bring the ships to the shore.

It was almost dawn, and many merchants and guys who had been terrified all night also came here. Seeing the soldiers and young men cleaning up there, many people took the initiative to help.

The faces of the soldiers are more determined and strong, and they also have the exhaustion and excitement after the victory of the night battle. The soldiers who have seen blood and fought to the death are qualified soldiers.

The expressions of businessmen, fellows and idlers of all kinds were full of awe. Few saw the battle last night, but many people could hear the rumbling guns like thunder, the screams and screams on the street, let alone Speaking of the strong smell of blood in the air.

Those who stayed behind were either excited or afraid to tell people they knew or not about what they saw last night. The original invasion of more than [-] pirates was said to be [-] among these people...

But this exaggeration can't help others not to believe it. Seeing those people keep carrying out the corpses, I don't know how many corpses one by one, chatting and listening, a kind of confidence is spontaneously born in everyone's heart.

With such a large-scale pirate attack, if it was in the south, the counties and counties would be bloodbathed, but Wang Tong won a complete victory. What's more rare is that none of the shops were damaged by the disaster.

At this time, everyone really understood what was going on with those "troublesome" and "inexplicable" policies. Thanks to those, everyone saved their lives and their families.

I sigh with emotion. To Wang Tong, everyone values ​​this area more and more. Here, not only can you make a fortune, but you can also be protected and safe, and make a fortune for a long time. This is the most important thing.

**********
"Are you Muen?"

Wang Tong asked with a smile, the strong man in front of him immediately stood at attention, and replied loudly:
"Master Hui Wang, your subordinate is Mu En!"

"I heard from your battalion officer that you were the one who fired the first cannon last night, and you also used the tiger squat cannon to kill and wound a large number of thieves, making a great contribution!"

In the battle last night, the first shot may not be important, but the tiger squatting cannon approached the pirates and fired, causing a large number of casualties. Unlike the thieves who poured into the streets, the thieves who rushed in from the Haihe River were extraordinarily fierce. The artillery stopped, and their several impacts almost broke the infantry formation on the shore.

Because of the presence of Li Zi, who was shot by Muen with the tiger squat cannon, the artillerymen of the other forts also carried the tiger squat cannon down to actively kill the enemy and repelled the enemy.

At the beginning, no one took the tiger squat cannon seriously. The reason for allocating the fort was that when it was a last resort, the artillery could use the tiger squat cannon to shoot nearby. Unexpectedly, it was of great use last night.

"Use cannons well and have a flexible mind. You have done a good job. I want to reward you well. What do you want?"

When Mu En heard this, he immediately replied loudly:

"Returning to the adults, the subordinates don't want to stay in the fort, they want to go to the camp."

Wang Tong was taken aback, but Mu En continued to say loudly:

"The subordinates want to do something with real knives and guns, and they don't want to set fires and cannons there!"

What he said was straightforward, Wang Tong shook his head and laughed, Mu En straightened his back even more, and the battalion officer beside him also smiled and said:

"My lord, if Mu En is willing to come, our battalion will give you the position of the general banner. He is a good man."

Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"Don't wishful thinking, just be your artillery."

Upon hearing this, Mu En was immediately discouraged, but Wang Tong said with a smile:

"The Commander Tan Huo is short of a deputy. Promote you to a hundred households and learn more from Tan Huo."

Mu En was originally a small banner, but suddenly became a hundred households. In the system of Jinyiwei and Huwei Army, there are less than 70 people in a hundred households, which is already considered a character. Mu En did not expect that he would be promoted like this, and he forgot The frustration of not being able to go to the camp, just smirked there, and didn't even know how to thank you.

After being reprimanded by the battalion officer, Mu Encai hastily bowed down to express his thanks, Wang Tong smiled and encouraged him, and followed the battalion officer to the place where the corpses were piled up.

There are more than a dozen corpses placed alone on one side, each corpse has armor made of bamboo and leather, the hair on the forehead and the top of the head is shaved, all are short and strong, and the weapons around them are long spears or Japanese swords .

Wang Tong is not unfamiliar with such an image. Only warriors from the Japanese kingdom would dress like this in this era. Wang Tong turned over the corpse with his own knife, observed carefully, and said in a deep voice:
"It's really lawless to be able to use real Japanese and mobilize more than 4000 people to attack!"

The battalion officer at the side looked at Wang Tong's serious face and said in a low voice:

"My lord, these dozen or so people look like leaders, and they are extraordinarily fierce. Our damaged brothers died at the hands of these people, and 23 people were captured alive. It is said that the team that broke in on the Haihe River, almost The 200 people were all real Japanese, but they were all on the leading boat, and they were in front when they rushed, and many of them were killed by shelling, and there were no real Japanese among them."

**********
The pirate captives, whose spirit and will had already collapsed, couldn't hold back their mouths. There was no torture during the interrogation process, and the gang confessed completely.

The people who came last night were all assigned by King Sanshui. The leader is Gu Huhu. Gu Huhu's branch is quite independent.

There are nearly ten thousand Sanshui kings, and what they do at sea is to collect water money from various ships. A sea-going ship with thousands of materials needs to pay 500 taels of silver every year, and then get a Sanshui flag, which can ensure safety on the sea. Year.

But Gu Huhu didn't follow the rules, he often robbed ships with flags in private, because he had a deep friendship with the Japanese and had thousands of men under his command, so Sanshui Wang also gave him some points.

In the past, the sea ships of Sanshui Wang and the Alliance entered directly at the mouth of the Haihe River, and they were filled with deerskin, tax silver, oxtail medicine, poplin and other profitable goods to sell in Japan, but since Wang Tong built a fort there, the profiteering goods were charged. After the heavy tax, it was equivalent to snatching a large piece of meat from Sanshui Wang's mouth.

Cutting off people's wealth is the greatest hatred in the world. Wang Tong sent people to destroy the private port of Tangjiahe. Sanshui Wang had more than a dozen ships under his command. The people and goods on board were ruined in vain. This is even more hatred. .

In February of the seventh year of Wanli, the entire Tianjin Wei began to prosper like an explosion, and a large number of people, goods, and money poured in. Here, Jinshanyinhai is extremely rich, and it is close to the river and the sea. There is no city wall fortifications, no naval defenses. , only Jin Yiwei was on duty.

There is a grudge in itself, such a large piece of meat is placed by the sea, as a pirate, he is not reconciled not to take a bite, and Sanshui Wang's side is full of thoughts.

Many people meant to come to make a vote in March, but Sanshui Wang felt that the fruit of Tianjin Wei was not yet ripe. Many stores were still preparing, and they had not yet started to operate. The money and goods were not sufficient, and it was too early to start.

Everyone also agreed with him. Unexpectedly, Sanshui Wang suddenly changed his tone a while ago, saying that Tianjin Wei is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to do anything. It is better to do business in Tianjin Wei. Everyone stays at sea and disembarks. Many, there is a natural advantage in maritime trade, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of this opportunity to make money?
Hearing Sanshui Wang's words, the pirates who had been preparing for a long time suddenly went into an uproar. Tianjin Weifu's oily oil, didn't they want to touch it just because of the word "heavy security"?
That Gu Huhu was the one who made the most noise. King Sanshui could suppress the others, but he might not be able to suppress him, not to mention he sent someone to Tianjin Wei to have a look.

The officers and soldiers guarding the generals are stationed in the north of the city, and the nearest battalion is two hours away from the Haihe River. They are full of battles, but there are more than [-] Jinyiwei here.

Officers and soldiers can't get on the table, let alone fans. Gu Huhu, who got the news, immediately decided to bring his own people to vote and make a fortune. He didn't expect to hit the iron plate here.

As for the Shiro who came in from the Haihe River, it is said that he is a retainer of some daimyo in the Wa Kingdom, who has always been able to fight and fight. That daimyo is related to Gu Huhu, and many goods are directly traded with that daimyo.

**************
At noon, the confessions of the pirates had been sent to Wang Tong's desk. After reading it, Wang Tong was silent for a long time before saying:
"There are tens of thousands of pirates who are close to Japanese pirates at sea, we must let the court know and come up with corresponding countermeasures."

Speaking of this, Wang Gong patted his forehead with his hands, suddenly smiled and said to himself:
"There may be an advantage to this..."
