Seeing the closure of the city gate, the patriarchs of the big and small families in Hangzhou Mansion didn't know what happened, so they got an invitation from Lu Rudai, the wife of the prefect of Hangzhou Mansion, to invite them to a banquet.It was the first time that the magistrate's wife invited them to a banquet, and they didn't dare to be negligent, one by one quickly rushed to the magistrate's yamen, and saw that the banquet had been set up, and someone led them to their seats.Then they heard footsteps and saw Lu Rudai walking in from the back hall, and everyone stood up to salute.

"Goodbye ma'am!"

"Thank you madam!"

When everyone sat down again, they looked at Lu Rudai. Lu Rudai stretched out her hand to pick up the wine glass and said:

"I would like to offer you a cup first."

"Young Mistress, you are already pregnant, so you can't drink!" Die Er, who was standing aside, said hastily.

Lu Rudai smiled lightly and said, "I have to drink this glass of wine today."

When the words fell, he drank it all in one gulp.Seeing this, everyone had nothing to say. They all drank up the wine in their cups. Seeing Lu Rudai raised her hand and went to the jug again, Lu Ding hurriedly stood up and said:
"Ma'am, don't drink any more. If you have anything to do, just tell me directly. We will do our best."

"Okay, then I'll be straight!" Lu Rudai put down the jug and said, "My husband has received the definite news that Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Xin Wulang and Zhenwo have teamed up and have an army of [-], approaching the coast of Daming , Their goal is probably our Hangzhou."

"Om..."

The surroundings were in chaos, and everyone's face showed panic. These people are definitely not stupid people who can become the heads of the clan.As long as they think about the 5 people who died under the city of Hangzhou, they will know that Xu Hai and the others are here for revenge, and the target must be Hangzhou.

At this time, some people had some small thoughts in their hearts. They were thinking, is it possible to send a large sum of money to the pirates and send them away?

It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. After those pirates got the money, they all left. These people spent money to buy peace.Lu Rudai didn't stop those discussions, but just watched them quietly.After a while of discussion, Lu Ding stood up, cupped his hands towards Lu Rudai and said:

"Ma'am, do you think we should send someone to talk to those Japanese pirates, we can give them a lot of money to make them retreat?"

Lu Rudai said calmly, "This method won't work."

"Why can't it work?" Lu Ding asked anxiously: "Although we wiped out Xu Hai and his [-] Japanese pirates under the city of Hangzhou before, pirates are greedy. As long as we give enough price, they will definitely retreat.

Moreover……

This time it's not just Xu Hai and Xin Wulang, but also Wang Zhi.Given Wang Zhi's dominant position in the sea, this time he must be the main one.As long as we pay enough price, Wang Zhi will definitely be tempted. "

Lu Rudai looked at Lu Ding fixedly and said: "You also know that the pirates are greedy, even if we can spend money to buy peace this time, but with the greedy temperament of pirates, if there is one time, there will be a second time, and they will use this If the opportunity seizes the channel, the Shibo Department will be the same in the future, and Daming Maritime Trade will also become a puppet in their hands, are you willing to call out your source of income just like this?"

The faces of Lu Ding and the others changed immediately.As the saying goes, blocking someone's way of making money is like killing one's parents.They have already tasted the taste of Daming Maritime Trade, if they are willing to hand it over?

"But..." The expression on Lu Ding's face kept changing: "Lord Luo is not in the city now! Or, you should invite Master Luo back quickly."

"That's right! That's right! Ma'am, please bring Mrs. Luo back as soon as possible."

In the hearts of these people, Luo Xin is definitely a protector, the real military god of Ming Dynasty. These people had watched Luo Xin wipe out 60 Japanese pirates with their own eyes. In their hearts, as long as Luo Xin can return to Hangzhou City, they will The society will immediately have a backbone, not to mention that there are only [-] Japanese pirates outside, even if there are [-], they are not afraid.

"My husband won't be coming back for a while."

As soon as Lu Rudai said these words, the whole lobby was silent. After a while, Lu Ding asked in a daze:

"why?"

"Because my husband is encircling and suppressing Zhang Daoyuan, but my husband has sent a letter stating that he will be able to destroy Zhang Daoyuan's Red Scarf Army within five days. That is to say, we only need to persist for five days.

not to mention……

The Japanese pirates have not yet appeared, and my husband has already written to Hu Butang. Hu Butang has an overview of the southeast defense, so naturally he will not sit idly by.Therefore, the final situation is that the Japanese pirates may not be able to reach the city of Hangzhou, and even if they did, it would not be today.In other words, maybe we only need to stick to it for four days, or three days, two days, one day.What's more, Hu Butang blocked the Japanese pirates, and before the Japanese pirates came to the city of Hangzhou, my husband had already returned. "

Seeing that everyone was still thinking about it, Lu Rudai said indifferently: "I am a pregnant woman and I am not afraid of others. What are you afraid of? Or are you willing to be exploited by Japanese pirates for the rest of your life and let them control Daming Maritime? Sixty thousand Japanese pirates approached Hangzhou, It seems to be a huge crisis, but is it not an opportunity? In the past, they were at sea, and we were beyond our reach. Now that they have landed, this is an opportunity to destroy them, just like the [-] Japanese pirates that were wiped out under the city of Hangzhou. Arrived At that time, the shipping lanes on the sea will be firmly in the hands of our Daming, so that the Shibo Division and Daming Maritime can truly grow, why are you still hesitating?"

"Yes!" Everyone thought about it one by one: "Madam Luo is willing to stay in Hangzhou, what does this mean? This shows that Mr. Luo must have known it well, otherwise he would have secretly sent his wife away early? You must know that Mrs. Luo still has descendants of the Luo family in her stomach!

In this way, the situation may not be so dire! "

Certainly in their hearts, these people's thinking also became active, and they thought one by one: "Master Luo is an ever-victorious military god, and he must have considered all aspects. And those Japanese pirates are really hungry wolves. If this time If you give in, then Daming Maritime Trade will really become a puppet of the Japanese pirates as Madam said."

The faces of these people were distorted at the thought of the white money flowing into the pirate's ship.Lu Ding cupped his hands again and said:

"Ma'am, just tell me, what do you need us to do?"

Lu Rudai's heart relaxed, and her hands were tightly knit together under the table, but her face was still calm, her eyes swept over everyone, and they all cupped their hands and said:
"Madam please tell me."

"Okay!" Lu Rudai said in a concentrated voice, "Contribute all your servants."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

Lu Rudai's gaze became severe, and she glanced at everyone and said, "After you go back, before you send those servants, you'd better tell them that although they are not soldiers, since they have entered the barracks, they must treat themselves as one of them." Soldiers. This is guarding the city of Hangzhou, and it is a matter of everyone's life. If that servant deliberately violates military regulations, my husband will kill people when he comes back."

Everyone's heart trembled when they heard this, they have all seen Luo Xin's murderous majesty.Thinking of his own servant's sloppy look, he decided in his heart that he must give thousands of warnings after he went back.

At dusk that day, families of all sizes in the entire city of Hangzhou contributed nearly a thousand servants.If it is said that these servants still have a certain fighting power, almost everyone has some martial arts skills, but they are not good people, good and bad.As the saying goes, there are as many slaves as there are masters.Like the five great aristocratic families, they are simply wandering around Hangzhou, and their servants are naturally used to being arrogant.

Originally, Lu Zhonglian, Wan Daquan, Zheng Biaotou and Zhong Jinhatun were still very worried about this matter. If these servants do not obey the command, it will cause great hidden dangers.

but……

What they didn't expect was that nearly a thousand family members stood in front of them. Although they were not like the army, they were honest and honest, without a trace of arrogance at all.

Is this still those arrogant servants?
However, as the chief general, Wan Quanquan didn't ask, but completely broke up the thousand guards and the more than 300 escorts summoned by Zheng's escort, and divided them into four parts, each of which was distributed to himself. At the same time, Zhong Jinhatun and Zheng Biaotou also divided the [-] troops defending the city into four, and then each of the four started training with their own soldiers.

After training, these four people also inquired about why those servants were so honest and willing to obey orders, but they didn't expect that those servants answered exactly the same, fearing that Luo Xin would come back and kill them.This can't help but make the four people sigh in their hearts, even if Luo Xin is not in Hangzhou City, just his name can shock others.

Taihu Lake.

On the third day.

Luo Xin, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang finally surrounded Zhang Daoyuan's Red Scarf Army on a small island. Standing on the bow of the boat, Luo Xin frowned slightly. There were only more than 300 Red Scarf Army in front of him.A wave of unease rose in his heart, could it be that Zhang Daoyuan led most of the people and had already run away, leaving these 300 people to attract their attention?

At this time, not only Luo Xin realized the problem, but Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang also realized the problem.If this is the case, Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang have nothing to do.After all, Zhang Daoyuan was captured by Luo Xin at the beginning, but Yu Dayou lost it in the end.And later Yu Dayou rushed to Chun'an County, but Zhang Daoyuan used a scarecrow to set up a suspicious strategy and did not enter the city for a long time. This was also a problem discovered by Luo Xin, so Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang would not be punished by Emperor Jiajing, but Yu Dayou would Oh no.Therefore, Yu Dayou gave the order to attack with a livid face.Unexpectedly, before the officers and soldiers landed on the island, they saw the more than 300 Red Scarf soldiers kneeling down one by one, shouting that they were not the Red Scarf Army, and only a dozen of them stood there, looking coldly at Daming officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers landed on the island and approached the Red Turban Army. The more than 300 Red Turban soldiers just knelt there and kowtowed, shouting that they were not the Red Turban Army.When the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were still more than [-] meters away from them, the dozen or so red scarf soldiers who had been standing and looking at each other indifferently rushed towards the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

These dozen or so people were all highly skilled in martial arts, and they actually beheaded several officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in an instant.Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and Luo Xin picked up the bows and arrows almost at the same time, and the continuous sound of bowstrings was heard in the air.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Then three Red Turban soldiers turned over and fell to the ground.Those red scarf soldiers couldn't help looking at Luo Xin, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang at the bow of the ship. Their momentum was weak, and they were immediately surrounded by thousands of soldiers. In less than a dozen breaths, those dozen red scarf soldiers were slaughtered empty.The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty surrounded the red scarf army kneeling on the ground.Luo Xin stood at the bow and shouted loudly:
"slow!"

The officers and soldiers who were about to hack the Red Scarf Army to death stopped when they heard this, and turned to look in Luo Xin's direction.Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang also looked at him differently. Luo Xin walked down from the boat and walked towards the red scarf soldiers kneeling on the ground. Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang also followed behind and came to those kneeling kowtowing In front of the Red Turban Army.In fact, without Luo Xin asking, both Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang knew that the people kneeling in front of them were not the Red Turbans at all, and the real Red Turbans were the dozen or so people who rushed towards them just now.These people should be criminals who came out of the prison of the county government and were brought here by Zhang Daoyuan.And Zhang Daoyuan and those thousands of red scarf soldiers must have fled early without a shadow, but these dozen real red scarf soldiers were left to manage the more than 300 criminals to attract officers and soldiers.

However, if you know it, you know it, but Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang have no intention of sparing these criminals in the prison.After working so hard for so long and letting Zhang Daoyuan run away, it is conceivable that the emotions in Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang's hearts are about to explode at this time.And you can't let your subordinates fight for nothing. These criminals are not good things in the first place, and they also cooperate with the Red Turban Army to attract officers and soldiers, so there is nothing wrong with saying that they are already the Red Turban Army.In fact, Luo Xin didn't mean to stop him. He understood the feelings of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang at this time. Especially Yu Dayou ran away from Zhang Daoyuan. beheaded.Therefore, if he wants to vent, he also needs to follow his brothers to get some military exploits.Anyway, these people who came out of the prison are not good people, and if they are killed, they will be killed.The reason why he called to stop was because he seemed to think of Wang Tian, ​​Wang Mu's son.No matter what, Wang Tian had to come down.So he came to those people and shouted:

"Which one is Wang Tian?"

Those who knelt and kowtowed to beg for mercy fell silent, and then heard Luo Xin's shout:

"Which one is Wang Tian?"

A rat-headed man raised his head and looked at Luo Dao: "My lord, Wang Tian followed the Red Scarf Army."

"Huh?" Luo Xin frowned and said, "Be clear."

"Yes, my lord!" The man hurriedly said: "The Red Scarf Army left Taihu Lake before the officers and soldiers arrived. Before leaving, they took away the strongest of us, but left us behind. Here. My lord, we are all forced, my lord, please forgive me."
