Chapter 88 Meat at night? Shrimp paste wotou!
When the King of Qi rebelled and was confiscated by the emperor, the property was only tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the property was not as good as a large household in the south of the Yangtze River, so there were rumors of the King of Qi's treasure in the world. Hu Zongxian was a court official, and it was easy to spread some news in the world. If the news of the King of Qi's treasure in the world was revealed, it was indeed very likely.
I asked curiously, Lord Hu, Wang Heng has been rampant in the East China Sea for many years, and is not a fool. How could he believe in the treasure?
Hu Zongxian smiled slightly and said, from last year to the present, we have strengthened defenses in the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian in order to put the Japanese pirates in a crisis of money and food. Now, the Japanese pirates seem to be glorious, but in fact they are at the end of their strength, and there are differences among the three major pirates. Even if Wang Heng knew that Hengjiang Port was likely to be cheated, with his personality, he would try to get to the death to divert internal conflicts and even take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Hu Zongxian was such a good method. Seeing that the Japanese pirates had no money and food, I just created an opportunity. This was probably the so-called open conspiracy.
I still have a question in my mind. In addition to doing evil without moral bottom line, the more important reason is that there are people in the country with the Japanese pirates. Now the Japanese pirates' account books have fallen into the hands of Hu Zongxian. Why didn't he directly follow the map and pull out the nails inside the Japanese pirates in Jiangnan?
So I asked, according to the Ming Dynasty, the crime of connecting with the Japanese was punished and the nine clans were punished. If you want to cut off your body, you should first cut off your roots. Why don’t you use the account book to lift up the people who connecting with the Japanese in Jiangnan?
Hu Zongxian shook his head and said, "The famous families in Jiangnan are mixed and complicated, and the account books cannot be easily used unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, Captain Su, please keep this matter confidential."
I am a little puzzled, but the matters in the officialdom are complicated, and it is very likely that this involves factional struggles in the court. Hu Zongxian was promoted by Yan Shangao, the former dynasty's elder, and although Emperor Ming Zhu Runze valued him, he was also guarded against him in secret. I don't understand, I can't understand, and I don't want to know.
I said, Lord Hu, although I am determined to kill the enemy, I still have an errand in Jinling. Can I discuss the return to the Tianlang again?
Since he is familiar with Ximen Chulan, I call myself a junior with the rules of the world, but it is not beyond the rules. How could Hu Zongxian not know the intention and teased, "Jinling errand? As far as I know, you have a ten-day appointment with the sword god Feng Wanli. Now six days have passed. If you don't agree, believe it or not, will Feng Wanli come to you when you walk out of the Haimen Mansion?
I couldn't help but say angrily, "You, the master of the ministry, actually threatened a junior?"
Hu Zongxian said, "Don't be angry, Captain Su," Mr. Hu did this, for the sake of the emperor or the Ming Dynasty. As long as you contribute to the court, I can guarantee that Feng Wanli will never dare to touch a hair of you.
I said he was a gangster, so how could he listen to you?
Hu Zongxian snorted coldly, Jianghu is the world of the Ming Dynasty after all; Sword God is also the sword god of the Ming Dynasty. If Feng Wanli is ungrateful, let alone the sword god, even the sword immortal, I have 108 ways of dying waiting for him.
It is true that he said this. Three or four years ago, a six door caused a bloody storm in the world, making the whole world like an angry young wife. What's more, the decent minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian.
There are many sects in the army, and many of the top masters of major sects have been incorporated by the military. Although these people have not made a name in the world and are not well-known, they are also powers that cannot be ignored. Not to mention others, even the general next to him, who is placed in the world, is also Wang Heng, a master of the ten thousand miles.
I asked if I could think about it first?
Hu Zongxian said, what are you thinking about?
I couldn't help but get angry, I haven't started to think about it yet.
Hu Zongxian turned around and told the military general that Feng Wanli was informed and asked him to come to Haimen Mansion to ask for someone.
I said wait, Lord Hu, this is the matter of the court. As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, how dare I not share the worries and problems for the court? However, the six gates of Jinling gave me a total of half a month off. If I can't rush back in time, I may have to deduct my salary.
The civil servant said, "Why, I will write a book and ask for leave from the prefect Song on your behalf."
Hu Zongxian asked again, what are you thinking about?
I won’t spread my hands anymore. You have planned everything, but I’m just thinking about it.
The general is bold, you dare to be rude to Lord Hu.
Hu Zongxian waved his hand, it was okay. Young people were very angry, but it was a good thing. It was easy to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
I said it was true that I could kill the enemy and die quickly.
Hu Zongxian smiled and said, "I dare not say anything else. You are Ximen Chulan's disciple. You are the first kung fu in the world. No one dares to be the first. After that, Hu Zongxian sat on the chair of the Grand Master, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Zhang Yuanjing said, Captain Su, look?
I said regretfully, let’s take a look, let’s go, it’s too late to go back, and I can’t explain it to the creampie.
After returning to Yihong Courtyard, it was an hour later. The two Japanese pirates who came with Kato probably hadn't woken up yet. We were drinking tea in the lobby. Zhang Yuanjing said, finally we can fight side by side again. I will be angry with Hu Zongxian on both of them and scolded, "I'm stole the medicine to treat you two, but you thought you would join forces to cheat me."
Zhao Zili scratched his head and smirked, but Zhang Yuanjing stood up and bowed deeply to me, saying, Brother Su, you have made contributions to the military and the Ming Dynasty. This time you invade the Japanese pirates, and you all rely on you. I said, come and put a hat on me. I originally wanted to spend ten days on the boat, but I was involved in this kind of thing by both of you.
However, no matter how much I complain, since I promised Hu Zongxian, I would naturally do it. Zhang Yuanjing told me that in addition to them, there were also many undercover agents on the boats of the other three major bandits. In order to avoid accidental injury, he passed me a set of contact codes and gestures.
Not long after, the two Japanese pirates who came with him walked out with satisfaction. I said it was not too early, so let's go quickly. One person asked, "Master Kato." I said it should be still in the room, so we go and call him."
When I arrived in front of the room, I shouted a few words, and the man muttered, why didn’t he react? I thought to myself that Kato must have crossed the Naihe Bridge at this time, and it would be strange if there was a reaction. After a while, the man pushed the door and didn’t see Kato. I wondered, why is Major Kato missing?
Zhang Yuanjing said, it might be that he had escaped.
Then the Japanese pirates said, how could it be possible? Major Kato clearly said that he was here to share the money.
I said calmly that Major Kato is a traitor.
The Japanese pirates said there was no basis and no evidence. Why did you say that he was a traitor?
I said coldly, I got off the boat with him today, and I came to monitor him by Zhong Zuo's order. Unexpectedly, he had a golden plan to escape. Two friends, do you think this responsibility is you or me?
The Japanese pirates said that of course you are responsible.
I said this was in Haimen Mansion. If I shouted loudly, the Japanese pirates are here, do you believe it or not and the people here will eat you alive?
The Japanese pirates panicked and said, Brother Su, you can do whatever you say.
I said I knew it and left.
The two of them hurriedly followed out, and then I patted their shoulders. Don't worry, Kato is Kato, you are you, this matter will never involve you. By the way, go to the madam's place first and get back the 100 taels of silver bill from Major Kato.
When I returned to the ship, I reported this to Mr. Tubba. The two Japanese pirates added fuel to the fire and quickly concluded that Kato was rebellious. The creepy clerk was furious and was so angry that he cursed Colonel Miyazo. Colonel Miyazo was the creepy boss, and he was not polite when he cursed.
That night, the five subordinates of Major Kato were thrown into the sea by Nakasa to feed fish. The two Japanese pirates who went with him were scared and obeyed us even more. Nakasa said to me, you have done a good job and I want to reward you.
I said that serving Zhongzuo is my duty. I never thought about any reward, but then again, how should Zhongzuo reward me?
You will be the master of Kato's position when you debut. From now on, you will be the master of the Tianlang.
I was about to refuse, but Zhang Yuanjing secretly pulled me, so I agreed.
Creampie Zhongzuo Dao, three days later, we will attack Hengjiang Port, and you will be the vanguard team, and one-third of the treasures you stolen will belong to you.
I said it was all up to the cultivation of Master Zhongjiao. One third is too much, and I just need half of it.
After being promoted to the magistrate, I moved to the cabin on the second floor, and by the way, I used my power to bring Zhang Yuanjing and Zhao Zili to the second floor. The second floor is relatively secluded, and it is more convenient for us to discuss things.
The Tianlang went south and headed towards Hengjiang Port. In the next two days, more and more Japanese pirate ships gathered in the sea, with as many as seven. It seems that as Hu Zongxian expected, the Japanese pirates cut off their wealth route and were going to attack Hengjiang Port with all their might.
These seven ships are of different shapes, old and new. Some are even ordinary merchant ships, and were snatched by Japanese pirates and converted into warships. According to Zhang Yuanjing, these seven ships were under the jurisdiction of Colonel Murata and became a formation.
On this day, Chuanzawa took a boat to Colonel Miyazo to hold a pre-war meeting. After returning, I, Dao Benichi, Rejingdong and Mr. Wang, were called to the third-floor cabin for a meeting. Chuanzawa scolded Colonel Miyazo not a thing, and said that I had not settled Kato's account with him. This time, I attacked Hengjiang Port and asked our Tianlang to take the lead. You all talk about your opinion.
A major from Dao Ben said that the Ming Dynasty army was vulnerable, and the colonel gave us the lead, which was a good opportunity for us to make contributions.
Nakasa nodded and said that what you said makes sense, get out of here.
Dao Ben walked out dejectedly.
Seeing this, Re Jingdong changed his words and said that the risk of taking the lead was too high. The Ming army’s red-clothed cannon is so powerful that we might as well hide behind and wait and see what’s going on?
Nakasa said, you have lost all the Bushido spirits in our Dongyi, so get out of here. After that, look at me, Su, tell me your opinion.
I learned from the lessons of the previous two people and said, "Mr. Zhongjiao, Colonel Murata, since we have issued military orders, if we retreat, we will disobey the orders, and we will inevitably be retaliated against by him. If we forcefully attack, we will easily be ambushed by the Ming army."
Nakazo said impatiently, what do you think you should do?
I said it would be better. At that time, our Tianlang rushed forward and would never fall behind. However, our ship was too old and accidentally threw an anchor or leaked water. This is also a human love, right? If the time is wrong, just take the opportunity to escape.
Nakazo said, you are too cunning.
I said that the leader is good.
Zhongzuo said to Mr. Wang that he would do it according to Su's advice. Tomorrow morning, attack Hengjiang Port. Tonight, the whole ship will improve the food and only after eating are full will you have the energy to fight!
I thought to myself that I finally didn’t have to eat brown rice, and asked, “Eat meat tonight?”
Chapter completed!
