Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh long-planned
Since the 32nd year of Jiajing, Qian Yuan has formed a guard team. Over the years, hundreds of dead have been added, and three times have been added.
Nowadays, the Qian family's elite guards are in the southeast, and their reputations are spread throughout the country. Most of them follow the army. Not only Yu Long and Qi Hu, but also Qi Jimei, Lu Bin and Tan Lun are everywhere, and several people even follow Wu Baipeng to Fujian.
At first, Wang Yi was the leader, Yang Wen and Zhang San were the assistants. Later, Qian Yuan successively promoted Liu Hong, Zhou Ze, Zhou Ji and others, went south to Taizhou and got Liang Sheng and Peng Feng many others.
But among the leaders of this kind of guard, the most famous, the highest status, the most outstanding military achievements, the most talented, and the most dedicated. The same person, Yang Wen, Taizhou.
Qian Yuan didn't know that the white-faced man he accepted for a basket of peppers in Ningbo Market many years ago was Yang Wen, one of the "Six Tiger Generals of the Taizhou Anti-Japanese War" in history.
In history, Yang Wen was the only white-haired general and a hawker. However, this man was brave and good at fighting. Although he was illiterate, he knew some strategies. He was a general under Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang, and he served as the deputy general of Jimen and was Qi Jiguang's deputy.
All those who can leave their names in history are outstanding talents. Since joining the army, Yang Wen has been under Lu Bin and Qi Jimei, and has been independently several times under the command of Lu Bin and Qi Jimei. He has also made military achievements in the Shangyu victory and has been promoted to the guerrilla general of Zhejiang Dusi.
Qi Jiguang, who has been transferred to Fujian General, has gone south. This time Qi Jimei went south together. Liu Xianyuan, the general of Zhejiang Eastern gang, was in Chuzhou. Zhejiang General Yu Dayou divided his troops into two places, one in Jiaxing Prefecture and the other in Chuzhou.
Among the three prefectures of Ning Shaotai, Yang Wen and Hou Jigao were among the generals of Lu Bin.
Yang Wen's legendary experience of being a guard from the Qian family and repeatedly gaining popularity on the battlefield has made him much more famous than the other two.
Such an important figure quietly appeared on the Snake Moving Island next to Xiangshan Island.
This is a small island, and there are no signs on the map? The island is densely packed with big trees and bushes everywhere? Yang Wen, who has been gnawing dry food for two days, stared at the sea in the distance.
"Is it almost done?" Zhou Ji next to him whispered: "If you want to talk about the naval battle, Tan Qizhi may not be able to hold on."
It has been three years since the nameless island in the 34th year of Jiajing? Zhou Ji has been following Tan Qizhi for three years.
"Don't be anxious? Don't be anxious." Yang Wen gnawed the steamed bun, "Tan Qizhi... The pirates under Xu Hai's command had been cleaned up before? The ones who made up the past were all drawn by the army, and there were also a few old brothers... able to hold on!"
"Brother Yang? The boat can't hold on!" Zhou Ji was a little anxious? "There are more than 30 sea boats over there this time. Tan Qiqi came from Zhoushan only eight. I can't beat them... What did they slip away? The young master said? All the sticks recorded in the account must be cashed!"
Yang Wen said expressionlessly: "I still have two sticks on my account."
Zhou Ji said desperately: "I... one hundred and ninety sticks..."
Yang Wen smiled? Picking up the telescope and observing carefully, the dense black dots on the sea surface became clearer and clearer. Dozens of sea boats came to Xiangshan Port east, but the speed was not fast. The dozen or so boats landing behind were blocked by seven or eight sea boats inserted diagonally? You could hear the sound of bird guns firing from afar, and you could see large clusters of white fog through the telescope.
Over the past year, Yang Wen followed Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and Ge Hao to go out to sea to kill the Japanese? He was very accurate in grasping the timing. After a while, he stood up and said, "Are you ready? Let the five ships in the front and block the back."
Zhou Ji said in surprise: "Young Master is talking about one ship that will not be left?"
Yang Wen sneered: "It's profitable to go to Southeast Asia? Is it necessary to load up the cargo when I return? Even if I temporarily sell goods, it's too late? Don't worry, those five ships can't escape!"
On the tall lucky boat, Tan Qizhi shouted loudly with a long knife in his hand, and his arrows and stone cannons were all fired downwards. Dozens of men bit their swords and jumped down to the opposite boat, slashing and killing.
To be honest, it is really a killer to kill chickens. These eight major families went to sea to sell goods. Although they were equipped with force, they really had no advantage in fighting.
Soon, the sail poles of the two sea boats had been cut down, and one sea boat was burned miserably by a fire. Qian Hong took back the long knife and said, "It's all blankets... I'm really looking for death!"
"boom!"
"Boom boom!!"
Thunder suddenly broke out on the sea in the distance. Tan Qi raised his telescope and saw a cannonball slashing through the sky and smashing on a sea boat.
There has not been a flowering bullet in this era, but the Western iron cannons that Wang Zhi bought with all his skills in naval battles...the actual effect may not be very good, but it definitely has a strong deterrent effect.
More than twenty warships rushed from the side at full speed, letting go of the five or six merchant ships in the front, and facing the more than ten behind, first with iron cannons, followed by bird guns, and then with bows and arrows.
The strong bow hit hard, and the wood chips flew, and the legs of the sea merchants holding swords and guns in their hands were weak. Well, even if their legs were not messy, they would not stand firm.
The soldiers were not ready to jump to the gang at all, and raised the prepared bird gun and burst into a wild wave, occasionally with a sound of arrows.
In just over a moment, more than a dozen merchant ships whose formation was completely disrupted raised white flags. Two merchant ships located on the periphery tried to flee north, but four warships quickly chased after them. Although the ship type was slightly smaller than the other, their speed advantage was great.
After a while, the two merchant ships ignited a raging fire, and a shrill cry seemed to ring in my ears.
Three of the ten sea ships blocked behind were sunk, and most of the rest fell into Tan Qizhi's hands. The huge lucky ship slowly came, and the soldiers or pirates jumped onto the merchant ship, and when they encountered resistance, they directly controlled the situation.
Tan Qizhi looked at the ten warships chasing north, estimated the speed in his mind, and waved: "I can't run away."
"I said, it doesn't matter if I leave." Qian Hong shrugged. He already knew part of his plan, "Anyway, it's all smuggling merchant ships."
Tan Qiqi turned around and glared, "Zhu Zichun's pure insight is not far away!"
The search for smuggling ships is just a matter of duty, but it is a taboo to kill too much. The root cause of Zhu Wan's crime back then was to crack down on smuggling, but the Fujian and Zhejiang hated this person so much and the counterattack was so strong that Zhu Wan killed too much.
This war happened at sea, either under Tan Qizhi or under Yang Wen. The news is relatively secret, but if a few ships ran away... such a thing is revealed to the world, Qian Yuan may be named "Zhu Wan's second".
The command fleet returned to Zhoushan and ordered people to take so many merchants in the merchant ship to take care of them. Tan Qizhi muttered in his heart, not knowing what the nephew was thinking. He knocked out more than 30 smuggling ships at once, and was not afraid of the rebound of the Southeast's large households...
Qian Yuan was really not afraid. He had already arranged a list early on, not to mention the Southeast clans, but only those big players who started as maritime merchants back then were really refused to issue customs clearance documents by him for various reasons.
Speaking of cracking down on smuggling may cause fear from countless smugglers and even regular maritime merchants, but if it is in the name...at least the name announced privately is not to crack down on smuggling?
Zhou Fu, who came to pick up the boat in person, looked at the mountain peaks in a dead face, and saw that the five or six sea boats were stopped, surrounded, and ravaged by iron cannons and bird guns.
Even though the white flag was already fired on the sea ship, the iron cannons were still not stopped, and bird guns were ringing from time to time, and oil tanks, rockets, torches were thrown from the warships...
The raging fire burned on the sea and shone with the setting sun, but Zhou Fu and everyone around him were bleeding in his heart.
Several warships turned around and left with great power. The sea water gradually swallowed up the remains of the burning ship. The sunset was setting, and it was already the weather at the end of April, and everyone felt a chill all over.
Zhou Fu turned around and exchanged a tragic look with Wu Zhi, the head of the Wu family. This was a battle with too much power and a long-planned massacre.
Although there has not been a survivor yet, they know who is taking action?
