Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 454

Songjiang Mansion, Nanhui Zhongwei Office.

Nanjing used to be the capital of the Ming Empire. Surrounding the coast here, more than 30 guards were set up in the military. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, most of the guards have been rotten to the root. The Jiangnan Iron Army that came out of the Central Plains has also weakened to the point where twenty Japanese pirates beat 2 people and ran all over the place. The former military guard is now not as good as a seaside fishing village.

However, at the end of February, the place became lively. There were always some people sneaking around here. Even at night, the soldiers in the guard could still hear the sound of the wheels of the carts. I don’t know who made the rumor. There are many wealthy households who are afraid of disasters and their families will be ruined. This is stealing money into the sea.

However, Zhou Bapi, the commander of the guard, patrolled the guard with more than a dozen dog legs every day, and the plowing soldiers of the guard below did not dare to say anything.

But on April [-]th, the situation changed again. Suddenly, a group of cavalry, rarely seen in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded them with a murderous look, and first surrounded the Nanhui Zhongwei Office built on the mountain. It was blocked, and then, a large number of large groups of troops were neatly dressed, and even the uniforms were brand new. The infantrymen of the officers and soldiers trotted over to resist the firecrackers, and the leader of the officers wearing big shiny leather boots went up and smashed the broken village. The door kicked open.

Such a big movement, of course, has already been heard in the inside, and Zhou Papi's ugly face started yelling in the guard. After all, it is a military facility, and hundreds of his personal soldiers, relatives and friends gathered together in a hurry. Blocked the door.

The triangular eyes were squinting, and a mole covered with disgusting black hairs on the left cheek was still jumping, looking more like a hooligan than an officer. That week, the commander wandered to the front a little bit, yelling in slang.

"Brother, what is the way, why did you create me in Nanhui Zhongwei, do you still have the law in your eyes? I don't know if we are an important place for the army? Get out of here!"

Spit stars jumped to the face of the opposite officer, and this arrogance provoked the infantry behind to roar angrily and put down all the firecrackers with bayonets hanging on them, as if a mountain of knives appeared at the gate for a moment.

But the weird officer didn't get angry, instead he waved his hand behind him, and with a cold face, Xuan pulled out a piece of paper from his waist pocket.

"The governor of Zuo, the commander of Huaiyou's subordinate Qihuoyidusi was ordered to deal with the Japanese here again, and some squires complained that there are Japanese pirates hiding materials in the house here, please get out of the way!"

Hearing about the Japanese pirate supplies, the mole on Zhou Papi's face visibly trembled violently again, but Xuanji's face was still that face, and he waved his hands rascally: "I don't know what the Huaiyou Commander is, and there is no Nanjing Military Department." Don’t try to enter Lao Tzu’s guard, otherwise don’t blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and denying people!”

As he said that, Zhou Papi actually took out his knife this week, and with a bang, the guard soldiers behind him also pulled out the knife, but the officer who saw it sneered.

"Fire!"

Unexpectedly, this team of soldiers was so ruthless that they dared to touch the guy. There was a burst of gunshots, and the guard soldiers in front of them fell down three floors. They hadn't been on the battlefield for hundreds of years. , and those who were still alive were crying at the top of their lungs while clutching bloody holes the size of ping-pong balls, and the soldiers in the back also huh-lahed and ran away.

I never thought that this pile of fire sticks could be so powerful, and I was stunned for a few seconds. Then Zhou Papi grinned and slashed at Na Dusi with the round knife, but he watched dangerously that the blade was about to hit People, who knew that a cold light flickered, clutching the huge wound on his thigh that was almost to the bone, the Commander Zhou also sat on the ground crying for his father and mother.

Having dropped the slender command saber with blood on it, Zhou Yuji held it upside down and waved: "Search for me!"

Song Qingshu himself made his fortune in clothing, and the military uniforms of the Qihuo Army are more and better than those of any other Ming army. The house of the commander of the guard was kicked open, and the door of the warehouse behind was kicked open in the same way. The smell of wheat and rice immediately rushed to the face. There were more than [-] warehouses, which contained no less than [-] dans of grain, and bacon and sausages. There was still a label of Jiaduobao's company, and a large pile was found, as well as real cans stacked like big bamboo poles.

"Damn it, these fat pigs really dare to spend their money!"

Cursing angrily, Xuan Zhou Yuji waved his hand at Commander Zhou with a gloomy face: "The evidence is convincing, come here, take it away!"

Seeing that the matter was brought to light, the man surnamed Zhou was really desperate. While being dragged, he turned his head and yelled at him: "You bastard, you bastard! It won't be long before Marshal Zheng will be able to uproot your beggar army, and you will all die! Damn... ouch!!!"

Seeing that he was swearing badly, the sergeant of the beggar army on the right stabbed his thigh with a bayonet angrily. Suddenly, the hurt guy gasped again and couldn't swear any more.

.........

No matter what era, it is important to have a teacher who is famous. Zheng Zhilong brought so many sailors from Fujian, black and white, to the sea in Nanzhili.It's good right now, Song Qingshu just followed his reason, aren't you prepared for Japanese?I am also prepared!
This week, the Commander was labeled as being a Japanese. According to his confession, the wealthy households of the Songjiang generation will be unlucky. The nearby towns are full of galloping cavalry, often kicking the door with their big leather boots. Open, going in is arresting people and ransacking their homes. Many landlords and gentry who secretly supported Zheng Zhilong were also charged with the crime of collusion. wave cleaning.

Nanhui Guard.

"Fucking Zhou Bapi, my old man was seriously ill last year, and he wanted to finish eating noodles before he died. I went to his house to borrow it, but he said no, so I kicked it out, but his house hid so much food!"

"A few years ago, the second dog of my family was killed by Japanese pirates. I said his death was strange. It really was the bastard surnamed Zhou who did it!"

The soldiers in the guard didn't know that the food was not Zhou Paipi's own. Watching the beggar army transporting it down one by one, they were jealous and cursed at the same time, but no one noticed. Standing in the original guard near the sea On one of the crenel defense walls, someone looked at them in tattered clothes and was jealous.

"There are 80 registered soldiers. Judging by the number, it is [-], right? There are at least [-] guards around the coast of South Zhili, so there must be at least [-] million people!"

"It's all a bunch of soldiers! Mud can't support a wall!"

Seeing that Song Qingshu was fascinated by reading it, Zhou Yuji interjected disdainfully and explained: "The chief soldiers of this guard are soldiers from generation to generation, and they will be soldiers from generation to generation. The children of military households are all idlers, stealing chickens and dogs, and robbing houses. According to General He Jin, they also caught a lot of people who came to our factory to steal things a while ago, and they were also military households in the nearby guards."

"Their qualities are not even comparable to the mountain people of our Dabie Mountains. Marshal Qi didn't recruit them as soldiers to fight against the Japanese. The general thinks that Marshal Qi should not place too much hope on these people!"

When Zhou Yuji was in the capital, he looked down on those dudes in the capital, and naturally he looked down on them even more, but Song Qingshu who was listening smiled and shook his head.

"People are forced out. Here, they are a bit of a wanderer. If they change places, they may change their appearance, or they may not."

However, the attempt on the guards stopped here, Song Qingshu suddenly turned around, pointed at the sea and said viciously: "I will leave it to you here, I don't want to see any of Zheng Zhilong's sea dogs again Set foot on the land of Songjiang!"

"Don't worry, handsome!"

Here you can already see Zheng Zhilong's huge fleet moored in the offshore, looking at those black shadows, Zhou Yuji's face also showed a ruthless look.

.........

Zheng Zhilong also cut off the supplies that supplied the fleet. The battle has not yet been fought. It is estimated that this South Sea dragon has changed from white flour steamed buns to gnawing raw fish sticks, which is quite uncomfortable.This can be seen from the dynamics of the Zheng army. The huge Zheng's army, which has been anchored off the Yangtze River estuary, launched a tentative attack on Dajiao Island on the third day after they captured the Nanhui Zhongwei Post. About [-] pirates tried to land. islands.

But although Dajiao Island is small, Song Qingshu built it like a fortress prepared by a little devil to defend the US military in the Pacific Ocean. Facing the cliff, the fortress was completely wrapped in cement, and the muzzles were all hanging high. After a small boat, the pirates who forcibly landed were knocked down seven or eight by the begging army guns, and then retreated back in embarrassment.

But these are just the preemptive conditions created for the decisive battle. When the real time comes, you still have to rely on the boat to fight the boat, bayonet against machete, and figure out who is the grandfather and who is the grandson!

The breath of the war seemed to be getting closer and closer. After returning from Songjiang, Song Qingshu ran to the Longjiang Shipyard immediately.

There, the fifth ship of Baofeng was basically repaired. Song Qingshu abandoned the original excellent tenon joint method and replaced it with nails and asphalt joints similar to those in the West. Although the quality of the ship has declined, it is fast and broken. Just remove the boards and replace them with new ones. Unlike traditional shipbuilding, the carpenter returns boards one by one and draws sketches one by one, and processes them carefully according to the size. In one month, the heavily damaged Tempest 75 has been restored. With the breeze of their past, the huge [-]-meter hull floated on the water like a giant.

These are all Song Qingshu's confidence, but when Song Qingshu was fascinated by reading, a charming and soft voice suddenly came from the side.

"My family has met the commander-in-chief, and my family is the confidential secretary of Mr. He. The leader of my family will hold a banquet at Zuimengju tonight, and I would like to ask the commander-in-chief to show respect!"

What kind of people and tastes, Li Xiangjun personally went to Yangzhou, and purchased more than 50 Yangzhou lean horses who are proficient in writing and arithmetic. Bin picked the most kitsch-looking vixen to be his secretary. The sweet Song Qingshu had heard this voice once, and he probably would never forget it in his life.

However, seeing this little beautiful secretary looking at him with rippling eyes, Song Qingshu couldn't help raising his brows. Among the navy, the one who has the least right is probably this He Bin, and he is the one with the most complicated identity. Now, the big battle is imminent, at this juncture, suddenly wanting to host a banquet for himself, I'm afraid it's not that simple!
"Oh? When? This coach will come to the appointment on time!"
