Mingshi

Chapter 697
Therefore, after a short period of fear, Xu Hai and the others calmed down again.A sneer appeared on Ye Ma's face and said:

"Da Ming's army is tofu, which will break when touched. Since we have no boats, we will sweep across the southeast and occupy the entire southeast. We will be the king of the southeast, and let Wang Zhi continue to eat salt in the sea alone. .”

Xu Hai also sat down, and said with a gloomy face: "This matter must not be left alone. After we swept the southeast, captured the Daming Navy, and got the ship, we will go to Wang Zhi to take revenge. Damn it , dare to provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has long disliked him."

Xin Wulang said with a murderous look on his face: "Where shall we fight first?"

"Hangzhou!" Ye Ma said murderously: "Let's enter Hangzhou first, and kill that Luo Xin, which can be regarded as completing the deal with those aristocratic families. Then let them provide various supplies for us to sweep the southeast, if If they don't cooperate, kill them all."

"Yes!" Xin Wulang said excitedly.

"No!" Xu Hai shook his head suddenly and said, "Now we are not just for the sake of trading, but are planning to occupy the entire southeast, so we have to think about everything. If you want to occupy the southeast, the Luo Shizi Luo Xin is no longer important, the important thing is We must get rid of Hu Zongxian. As long as we get rid of Hu Zongxian, there will be no one in the southeast to stop us. When the court hears the news, dispatches the army, and then comes to the southeast, we have already occupied the southeast. At that time, we will say goodbye to Daming Wrist. If we can’t break it, we will stick to the southeast, or retreat to the sea. At that time, we already have a ship. If the army sent by the dog emperor is still vulnerable, then we will go directly to Beijing. Maybe we can do it too. emperor."

Ye Ma, Xin Wulang and others' eyes became brighter as they listened, and they couldn't help asking: "Then what should we do?"

"Go to Hangzhou." Xu Haining said in a voice.

Everyone was taken aback, Ye Ma said: "Isn't that the same as us?"

"It's different!" Xu Hai shook his head and laughed, "We only surround Hangzhou and don't fight."

"No!" Xin Wulang asked in surprise.

"That's right, let's fight for help." Xu Hai proudly said: "We surrounded Hangzhou City, and waited for Hu Zongxian to come to rescue him, and then we ambushed Hu Zongxian in the middle of the road and wiped him out."

"Okay!" Everyone thought for a while, and they all applauded.

"Hello brothers, go to Hangzhou."

Suzhou.

"Could it be Wang Zhi?"

Inside the Governor's Mansion, Hu Zongxian said suspiciously that he had also received the news that Xu Hai and others' ships had been robbed. His first thought was that Wang Zhi did it, because in today's sea, only Wang Zhi has this strength.

But why did Wang Zhi do this?
After Hu Zongxian calmed down, he began to doubt the matter.He felt that no matter what purpose Wang Zhi was holding to rob Xu Hai's ship, Wang Zhi would definitely send someone to contact him, because it was Wang Zhi who helped Hu Zongxian, and he would definitely use this as a bargaining chip to benefit Hu Zongxian .

But... Wang Zhi didn't, which made Hu Zongxian wonder if Wang Zhi did it.

However, if Wang Zhi didn't do it, then who did it?

In the southeast, who else has such a strong strength at sea?Dare to provoke Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang?
If it was really not done by Wang Zhi, but by another pirate who is not strong...

Hu Zongxian fell into deep thought. The weak pirate used them to know Xu Hai, Ye Ma, and Xin Wulang's men, and pretended to come to the shore to meet Xu Hai and others, but suddenly attacked Xu Hai's ship and killed them. They captured Xu Hai's men and took Xu Hai's boat.At sea, where there are ships, there are people. It won't take long for that weak pirate to become a huge force not weaker than Wang Zhi.

And what about Xu Hai, Ye Ma, Xin Wulang and others?
Hu Zongxian's face gradually became ugly, and he suddenly felt that the mysterious person who snatched Xu Hai and others' ship might be a pirate, this great pirate!
Xu Hai and others have lost their ships, so they must occupy a place in the southeast, and then aim at the navy to seize the boat of the navy.But how could Hu Zongxian let them take away the navy's ship?

In this way, Hu Zongxian was forced to fight. Even if Hu Zongxian did not win in the end, there would not be many Xu Hai, Ye Ma, Xin Wulang and others left. At that time, together with other reinforcements from Daming, Xu Hai and others would be dead.In this way, the mysterious pirate would no longer worry that Xu Hai and others would seek revenge on him, and he used Hu Zongxian's hand to eliminate his enemies for him.It has become one of the most powerful forces in the sea just like Wang Zhi.

Great talent!Great talent!

Hu Zongxian had to sigh, but at this time he had already sorted out the dead end, and immediately sent someone to notify the navy to be on guard against Xu Hai and others' surprise attack. If necessary, he could retreat to the sea, but he absolutely could not let Xu Hai wait People snatch a boat.Then he also rectified his troops and was ready to assist the navy at any time.

Hangzhou.

City ship division.

In the study, Luo Xin, Luo Qing and Qi Jiguang sat down as guests and hosts.Luo Qing said: "Little brother, why are you calling us here in such a hurry?"

Luo Xin said with a serious expression: "Brother Yuan Jing, big brother, the pirates are coming to Hangzhou."

"Why?" Luo Qing said with a startled expression, "Our scouts are monitoring the Japanese pirates every day, and they have no movement towards Hangzhou. General Qi, could it be that your scouts have discovered the Japanese pirates' movements?"

"No!" Qi Jiguang shook his head and said, "I haven't received the news, where did your lord get the news from?"

"The Japanese pirates haven't set out to Hangzhou yet, but the day when they rush to Hangzhou will not be far away. Maybe in these three to five days, your scouts will receive the news." Luo Xin said in a calm voice.

"You...have a traitor among the Japanese pirates?" Qi Jiguang looked at Luo Xin in shock.

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "But I received a message. I don't know which sea power, maybe Wang Zhi, snatched away the boats left by Xu Hai, Ye Ma, Xin Wulang and others at sea. gone."

Qi Jiguang's eyes shone with wisdom, and he said while thinking: "In this way, Xu Hai and the others have no way out."

Luo Qing and Luo Xin looked at each other. Although Luo Xin had not had time to talk with Luo Qing privately, Luo Qing knew that the person who robbed Xu Hai and others' boat was not Wang Zhi, but Luo Sheng.His heart became excited, he secretly clenched his fists, and said in his heart:

"Cousin succeeded."

Qi Jiguang who was on the side suddenly said in shock: "The navy is in danger."

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "It depends on how big the hearts of Xu Hai and others are."

"My lord, what do you mean?" Qi Jiguang said with shock in his eyes, "Xu Hai and the others still want to occupy the southeast?"

Luo Xin nodded and said: "Xu Hai is not a simple person. From the situation he has set up this time, it can be seen that he wants to make Hu Zongxian's dumplings. He still knows some strategies. Now he has no way out. I think Hu Zongxian has also got the news, and Hu Zongxian must have thought that Xu Hai and others will raid the navy and seize the warships. They will definitely set up a net against Xu Hai's actions, waiting for Xu Hai to go to the navy, where Xu Hai and others will raid the navy and seize the warship. Hai caught them all. This time it wasn't Xu Hai and the others who made Hu Zongxian's dumplings, but Hu Zongxian wanted to make Xu Hai's dumplings.

but……

Hu Zongxian can think of it, Xu Hai must also be able to think of it.So Xu Hai will not go to the navy, but will attack Hangzhou. "

"Attack Hangzhou?"

Qi Jiguang still had some doubts, but at this moment Luo Xin's heart turned, and his judgment on the situation became clearer and clearer.With the light of wisdom shining in his eyes, he said while thinking:
"So, even if Xu Hai and the others wanted to snatch the navy's warships, they would not go there at this time. He knew that there was a net that Hu Zongxian couldn't let go, so he wouldn't go there. If he wants to win the navy's battleship If there is no ship, Hu Zongxian's army must be smashed to pieces first. Then they can take down the navy in one fell swoop with the general momentum of victory.

So Xu Hai needs an opportunity, if there is no opportunity, he will create an opportunity, an opportunity to severely damage Hu Zongxian.This opportunity is Hangzhou. "

Luo Xin looked at the direction where the five great families lived, and said calmly: "At the beginning, Xu Hai was hired by the five great families, but he didn't expect that they could no longer control these pirates, but their financial resources have already attracted them. Xu Hai, so Xu Hai must come to Hangzhou, kill me Luo Xin, it is considered to have completed the deal with the five great families, and then force the five great families to raise supplies for them to attack the entire southeast."

"This...they just captured Hangzhou, but they may not inflict serious damage to Master Butang." Qi Jiguang asked puzzled.

"They will gather around to fight for help."

A light flashed in Luo Xin's mind, and the situation in his chest suddenly became clear: "They will surround Hangzhou without fighting, and then ambush Hu Zongxian who came to rescue him. They occupy the base in the southeast. If Hu Zongxian is really disabled by the ambush, the southeast will fall in a short period of time, and the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos."

"We have to notify the Ministry Master." Qi Jiguang said urgently.

Luo Xin nodded and said, "I'll leave a copy of the book and send it to Hu Butang."

"After receiving the letter, Mr. Department Hall, will he see Hangzhou being besieged and not come to rescue him?" Luo Qing asked worriedly.

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "When the Lord received this letter, he would definitely not believe that Xu Hai and the others would attack Hangzhou. He would still be sure that Xu Hai and the others would attack the Navy, so he would still be with the Navy. Set up a network of heaven and earth. When he finds out that Xu Hai and the others are really besieging Hangzhou, he will believe my words. I believe that Xu Hai and the others will surround and help. However, Hangzhou cannot be lost. If Hangzhou is lost, Hu Zongxian will bear the greatest burden Responsibility, this is the prefectural city, not the county seat. Hu Zongxian sits in the southeast, but let Hangzhou fall, and His Majesty will cut off his head. Therefore, he will definitely come, but with my reminder, he will not fall into the trap."

Luo Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Little brother, how about laying landmines outside in advance like you did when you defended the capital last time. Not to mention that Xu Hai only has more than 5 people, even 20 people can defeat him at once."

Qi Jiguang also raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had heard the reputation of Luo Xin's land mines for a long time, and he always wanted to see it with his own eyes.He couldn't help looking at Luo Xin expectantly.Luo Xin shook his head and said:

"No. If you plant land mines in advance, you must detonate them before they set up camp, otherwise they will find out when they set up camp. After detonating in this way, the number of enemies killed is actually not many, and the Japanese pirates will flee in all directions. Wait for them Regathering is another trouble. Therefore, we have to wait until the army of Lord Butang arrives. At that time, the inside and outside will join forces to wipe out Xu Hai and the others. This is a rare opportunity. In the past, after Xu Hai and others went ashore, Once they encounter a large army, they will retreat and escape by boat. Now they have no way out, and a group of pirates are like fish out of water on the shore, so this time they must be wiped out. In this way, only Wang Zhi is left on the sea. It is much easier to deal with. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get such an opportunity in the future."

"But...after Xu Hai and the others set up camp, how can they plant mines?" Qi Jiguang asked in confusion.

Luo Xin laughed and said, "We don't need to plant mines, we can use catapults to throw thunderbolt bullets into the camp of the Japanese pirates. I have studied these Japanese pirates, although they are fierce in the southeast, in fact they have not experienced a real war Brother Yuan Jing, to be honest, the scale and intensity of the Japanese pirate rebellion here in the southeast is much worse than that in the north. The Ming government army in the southeast is corrupt, and the Japanese pirates are not strong in combat effectiveness, and their experience in siege is also poor. Insufficient, they often set up camp not far from the city wall, and the catapult can throw thunderbolt bullets into the camp of the Japanese pirates. When the time comes, taking advantage of the panic of the Japanese pirates, we should cooperate with Hu Butang, and Hangzhou City is the place where Xu Hai and his bones are buried .”

Suzhou.

Wan Daquan stood in front of Hu Zongxian, Hu Zongxian looked at it with Luo Xin's letter in his hand, his eyes flashed with disapproval.Putting down the letter, he said lightly:
"You go back and tell Buqi, just say that the commander-in-chief knows."

"Yes! Farewell from humble position."

Watching Wan Daquan leave, Yu Dayou, who was sitting in the tent, said softly, "Lord Department, what is the letter from Master Luo?"

Hu Zongxian said with a faint smile: "It is not said in the letter that the Japanese pirates will go to Hangzhou, and then wait for us to rescue them, and surround them to fight for aid."

Yu Dayou also showed disapproval on his face and said: "How could it be? The most urgent thing for the Japanese pirates now is to get a boat, and they will definitely attack the navy. Why did they go to Hangzhou?"

"That's what he said!" Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "It doesn't matter that he still doesn't understand Dongnan, let alone Japanese pirates. He thinks wrong."

"Hehehe..." All the generals in the camp laughed, and the laughter was full of disapproval.

Hangzhou City.

Now Luo Xin's shady people in the manor outside Hangzhou were all taken away by Luo Sheng.Therefore, Luo Xin transferred all the people in the manor into the city of Hangzhou and let them live in the back office of the Shibosi.At this time, they were secretly making thunderbolts. At the same time, Luo Xin drew a picture of the catapult and gave it to Song Danian, so that the workshop of the magistrate's office began to make the catapult.At the same time, the workshop was asked to make a batch of barbed wire and some iron rods, and Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing were asked to make holes in the parapet wall.
