Volume 1, Chapter 114, Waiting in the Night
Half a month passed in a flash, and September 15th arrived soon.
That morning, Chen Wenjie happily rode the family's big ship and rushed to Dongshan Island with Chen Jiudao.
However, there was no large fleet this time, only one big lucky ship.
Because only this big blessing ship really belongs to their Chen family, and other big blessing ships are the cars of the maritime merchants under their command.
Last time, it happened to be just right for them to go to the shipping company to deliver goods, so Chen Jiudao took him to Dongshan with him. This time it was not that coincidence. Of course, Chen Wenjie didn't care about the show now. As long as he could kill Yang Cong, he would be willing to take a small sampan to Dongshan Island.
The wind on the sea was not very strong, and the wind direction was a bit northerly. The Dafu ship sailed on the sea for five or six hours until the sun was about to set, and the Dafu ship of the Chen family arrived at the Zouma Creek on Dongshan Island.
At this time, he was really impatient. As soon as the boat approached the dock, without Chen Jiudao leading the way, he took the lead and rushed down the hanging ladder and rushed to the courtyard where Ye Zongman temporarily settled.
He really wanted to see how fierce the legendary Japanese pirates were and whether they could kill the Yang family to relieve his hatred.
At this moment, the Japanese Ransom summoned by Harada Kojiro had been waiting in the yard, and Ye Zongman was there too.
However, when he saw the thirty Japanese ronin dressed in mess, his excitement disappeared.
Except for the fierce look, these thirty Japanese ronin people have nothing to do with the fierceness.
These guys dressed almost like beggars, and some of them were even thin enough to see ribs. Can they really do it?
They seem to be as powerful as Yang Cong’s guards. With these beggars, can they really rush into the Yang Mansion and kill Yang Cong and Yang Rong?
He couldn't help but secretly ask, "Uncle, can these people do it?"
Chen Jiudao nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, they are so powerful, they can definitely do it."
These Japanese pirates are indeed powerful. The so-called ronin is actually a down-and-out warrior who has lost his head, lost his salary, and wandered around. Most of them have received strict training since childhood and basically have some skills.
Most of these roninmen lost their source of income because the princes, who were heads of the family, were defeated or even died, and had to wander around. In order to survive and enjoy themselves, they could do everything.
Japan is in the so-called "Warring States Period". I don't know how many princes were defeated and died. The number of ronin is even more scary. It is precisely because Japan is war everywhere and there is nothing to plunder. These roninists take a risk of crossing the ocean to the wealthy Ming Dynasty and looting everywhere.
This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were rampant. At least this is how most of the Japanese pirates in the Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties came.
These Japanese pirates are not ordinary. Historical records show that in the middle of Jiajing, more than 50 Japanese pirates landed in Shangyu, Zhejiang, and rushed to Jinling City, Nanzhili, like crazy.
As a result, they really killed two provinces of the Ming Dynasty and rushed all the way to the city of Nanjing. During this period, they killed one of the Ming Dynasty Censors, two commanders of the garrison, two Ming army commanders, and one local county magistrate. They defeated nearly 5,000 Ming troops and local military guards. It was not until the end that they were surrounded and suppressed by Su Song Governor Cao Bangfu!
Of course, the Japanese pirates invited by Chen Wenjie are definitely not as good as the more than fifty Japanese pirates who came to Jinling City. Moreover, their opponents are not the unprepared Ming army and local guards, but Yu Dayou and Yang Cong who are waiting for them to come.
Chen Wenjie didn't know what was wrong now, but he actually remembered the scene of being bullied by Yang Cong a few times. An unknown premonition followed. Seeing the more than thirty Japanese pirates driving away by a dilapidated Cangshan boat, he always felt that these guys were going to die!
On the night of September 15th, the moon is very round. In this pollution-free sky, it is almost the same as at dusk at night. When the moonlight shines, even the scenery in the distance can be vaguely visible.
At around midnight, a dilapidated Cangshan boat suddenly appeared in the harbor between the Fengwei Inspection Department and the Huangqi Inspection Department. The boat seemed to be a late-returning fishing boat, and it drove straight towards the fishing boat dock in the harbor.
However, after the Cangshan boat approached the dock, it was not the fishing catch that came down from the boat, but the people, a bunch of people.
These people were quite strange. They didn't chat or talk, as if they were a group of mutes. After getting off the boat, they carefully observed for a while. Seeing that the surroundings were black and there was no movement at all, they rushed towards Hui'an County.
These people naturally came to assassinate the Japanese pirates who were Yang Cong and Yang Rong, and they thought they were unaware of it.
Little did they know that as soon as they climbed the dock, there was a slight movement on the hill bag in the distance. They had just started running towards Hui'an County. Someone raised the torch behind the hill bag, turned three times, stopped three times, and made three times in a row. Soon, a blurred torch lit up on another hill bag in the distance. They also turned three times in a row, and made three times in a row.
This means this direction, more than thirty enemies have come
These people were scouts arranged by Yu Dayou. They were on the coastline of more than a hundred miles east of Hui'an, and to Hui'an County. There were forty or fifty groups of such scouts. They were the strong men selected from ordinary guards. Yu Dayou did not ask them to participate in the battle. As long as they were on the hills everywhere, pirates or Japanese pirates landed on the shore, they would send signals according to the number of enemies, with torches.
On this dim night, the torch was very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, the news of the enemy landing reached Hui'an County.
At this time, there were fifty or sixty people standing on the city wall on the east side of Hui'an County, Yu Dayou, the old masters Yang Rong, Yang Cong and others.
Yu Dayou and Yang Cong were staring at the mountain in the distance, but Tang Kekuan complained while yawning: "Chen Wenjie, this guy, isn't bluffing, right? It's been a moment now, and there's no movement at all."
When Yu Dayou heard this, he said seriously: "Even if he bluffs, it's nothing. We just practiced it. I feel that the pirates and Japanese pirates will come ashore sooner or later. Practicing now is much better than practicing again when the war is coming."
Yang Cong nodded with deep understanding. Before he could speak, a small orange-red dot suddenly lit up on a hill in the distance, and the enemy finally came!
However, surprisingly, the small dot paused after only three turns.
Did Chen Wenjie only send more than thirty people?
It's unlikely that he has read the secret letter from his second uncle Yang Yun. The letter said that there were more than fifty guards under his command in the Yang Mansion and his command. This is a fact. Chen Wenjie sent more than thirty people here, are they looking for death?
Yang Cong couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Why are there only more than 30 people? Are you right?"
Yu Dayou shook his head slowly and said, "It should be nothing wrong. It is very likely that the Japanese pirates came. These Japanese pirates are not simple. When I was participating in the martial arts ceremony in Jinling, a hundred households from Jinshanwei said that he had met a master of the Japanese Beichen Yishu. Although they didn't knock him over, they only used less than ten moves in total, and I used six moves to defeat him."
Damn, so awesome!
If more than 30 such Japanese pirates come, wouldn’t Yu Dayou be overthrown by them!
