Chapter 133 Hibiscus from Shimizu-4
In the restaurant facing the street, shopkeeper Tian watched the princess's official sedan chair leave, and sneered: "Ignorance woman, a little trick, can only deceive these ignorant villains." He squatted his wine glass heavily on the table and said angrily, "However, in this way, the boss's plan will be delayed for a few more days. This woman is really not enough to succeed and has more than enough failure."
"I just have a backup plan here," Shopkeeper Song sighed: "The boss didn't urge him, just wait."
The two of them clinked a glass and drank the wine.
The Nanhai coupon fell sharply, and the two were responsible for the fire at the order of Qiu Dong's family. The two had a total of more than 500,000 yuan in capital. They found several market-making accounts. Manager Tian sold the coupons to Manager Song at a discount, and Manager Song at a discount, and then sold the coupons to Manager Tian at a discount. After the two were hyped, the price of the coupons became increasingly unfair. As the two were hyped, people inside and outside the Zhengxin Hall were panicked, and many merchants holding large amounts of coupons sold the coupons, and even Su Tongfu could not stop them. So the price of the coupons fell like a kite with a broken string. According to Qiu Darui's arrangement, when the coupons fell below 30% of the face value of the coupons, the two shopkeepers secretly bought slowly from the market and hoarded the coupons at a low price. In this way, no matter what the outcome of the battle between the Song government and the pirates, Qiu Darui was invincible.
But Princess Wu suddenly disrupted the situation, leaving the Zhengxin Hall market empty, and the shopkeeper of the second son of Song was alone.

However, the evolution of the subsequent events gradually went beyond their imagination.
It is rumored outside that the Marquis of Wuchang seized many treasures that the Liao people had no time to transport away during the Northern Expedition. Moreover, when he was in charge of the Tokyo Left Office, the wealth of more than ten prefectures in Henan was also intercepted. Therefore, Marquis of Wuchang's family wealth was far beyond people's imagination. This wealth was stored in the camp of the Navy of the South China Sea in Guazhou. The money used by Princess Wu to purchase the coupons came from the Marquis of Wuchang. Even if all the coupons on the market were eaten, there was no problem. This rumor was amazing, but it made people have to believe it.
There are countless people who submit famous posts to visit the Su Mansion every day, and the threshold of the Su Mansion is almost three inches wide by these people.
Su Tongfu also changed his previous behavior and did not live in the Zhengxin Hall, but instead socialized with a few gentry every day.
It was rumored outside that in just a few days, the money received by the "Sande Taoist" was afraid of being worth 100,000 yuan. However, there was no tangible evidence, and the rumors were just rumors. Whether it was a gathering of merchants or a secret discussion in the inner room, everyone guessed how many coupons could Princess Wu buy? Or who came to visit the Su Mansion again, and when she came out, she looked like a sect in her hand, and I don’t know how much money she used and what kind of promise she got?
In addition to envy, the merchants in the entire Yangzhou market became eager to see whether they had strong skills or not.
A few days passed, and seeing that Princess Wu was still buying stock coupons, the situation of Yangzhou stock coupon trading gradually slipped out of control, the two shopkeepers Tian and Song were also panicked and had to use pigeon books to ask Qiu Dongjia to give in person. However, Qiu Dongjia had never had the next order, and the two had to suck like ants on a hot pan.
…………
In Guangzhou, the sound of cannons roared and the smoke of gunfire rose, and a large group of bandits jumped off the sea boat.
\Because the pirates came too fast, the foundation of the Hanhai City had just been laid, and the city wall was built a short piece. This ruined low wall was even smaller than the walls of ordinary villages. The pirates did not take him seriously at first, and divided the looting areas early, trying to loot a large market in the Hanhai City and Guangzhou City Wall. However, two days passed, the city wall changed hands several times, and the Nanshi was still controlled by the Song army.
Qiu Darui stood on the stairs of a large ship, looking north with a thousand-mile mirror, and was within reach, and there were corpses everywhere.
The dead and wounded pillows under the city of Hanhai. In some places, the bodies were as high as the city wall, and the wall foundation was hit by shells and collapsed. However, the red flag of the Song army on the top of the city was still floating. The city wall was still in the hands of the pirates, and the official army took it back. In order to fight for this short city wall, the official army had fought with the pirates for two days. Even if the pirates rushed into the Nanshi, they still could not let go. The magistrate of Guangzhou put the old and weak into the city, but the man who had entered the city to hide. These male soldiers mixed with the tyrants trained and strong men from various counties and successively joined the battle outside the city.
In the Qianlijing's vision, pirates rushed up in groups and fought with the Guangnan Prefecture Army.
During the melee, a state army was chopped over to the ground, still holding the enemy's legs with all their might, and even though they were chopped off their heads, they didn't let go...
A group of people lost their weapons and even bite them with their teeth like a wild animal...
Except for a few elite troops, most of the Guangnan Road and Prefecture Army were hastily convened regiments in various counties, which was not much different from the brave and powerful men in the township. However, the prefecture army resisted very tenaciously and had a large number of people. Even if the pirates were very fierce and suffered thousands of casualties, they still could not cross the short city wall. Qiu Darui finally gathered all the pirates at the city of Guangzhou. In this way, the battle that could not eat meat would continue for two or three days, and the team would be dispersed.
"It won't work if this continues!" Qiu Darui frowned and said, "Emute King Famaitu to send troops. It's time for them to work!" The subordinates agreed, Qiu Darui said, "Tell me the five great masters, Lu, Cao, Li, Niu, and Pu, and speed up the remnants of the stubborn resistance outside the city. The dead guys, one family, will give them 200 stakes to Guangzhou and send them to them. The big cannibals' a strong sword, will definitely be able to kill the scattered official troops later. They must not save their strength and must rush up together and drive all the officials outside the city into the city. Which boss does more work? I, Qiu, knows. After capturing Guangzhou, I will naturally not be careless."
The resistance outside Guangzhou was so fierce that it was beyond Qiu Darui's expectations.
According to the experience of the Liao army's invasion in the south, the best way to attack the Song State city is to hunt a flock of yellow sheep. The soldiers and horses first set a large circle, then gradually narrow the scope, and force the people who were dragging their families to the prefectures and counties. As the circle surrounding the circle becomes tighter and tighter, in the end, it is like fishing and netting, and the net is full of fat fresh fish. If the garrison of the Song State hosts these people, one can disrupt the situation in the city and consume the food and grass of the defenders, and the other can get a large number of spies and tricks into the city, and even directly seize the city gate. If the generals of the Song army do not host these people, the Liao army can take advantage of the situation to organize the people outside the city into signing troops, forcing the Song State to attack and fill the trenches, consume the arrows of the defenders, and even attack the city with strong people.
The Liao army's set was very successful in the Song Dynasty. However, Qiu Darui used it in Guangzhou for the first time.
He gathered almost all the major pirates in Guangnan and even the southeast coast, landed from all over the coast, took advantage of the mentality of the government troops to defy the prefectures and counties, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight the bandits easily. He gathered from all directions of Guangzhou and drove hundreds of thousands of fleeing people to Guangzhou City. However, the governor Chen Gongju neither refused to flee the people into the city nor fully accepted it. He only allowed the elderly, weak, women and children to hide in the outer city of Guangzhou, and temporarily incorporated nearly 100,000 males among the refugees into the regiment training. Many temporary regiment training did not have armor, military robe, only a knife, and a thin wooden shield. Old and weak in the city were like hostages, and men outside the city had to fight to the death, blocking the pirates' soldiers outside the city.
"A flock of sheep can block the jackals even if they fight to the death, but when they encounter a real wolf pack, it is useless no matter how many sheep there are."
Famaitu looked at the soldiers waiting to set off on the deck and shouted: "The warriors under the Sultan," he waved the silk scutches in his hand and ordered, "Let's go now, and use your scimitar to drink the blood of the enemy, so that they can fear, tremble, and crawl at the feet of the great Sultan!" The officers and soldiers on the deck pulled out the scimitar and shouted loudly in response to the commander's order. The Great Food Fleet has arrived outside Guangzhou for two days and two nights, and has only fired fire on the shore. These Sultan soldiers have been holding back for several days, and their eyes have not concealed their desire for battle and blood.
The big food soldiers went down from the rope ladder to the dock one by one, and Famaitu once again raised the Mile Mile Mile to observe the progress of the battle.
The weather was hot, and the soldiers took off their robes. Under the strong sunshine, the iron armor and scimitars were shining like the sparkling sea.
A slight arc of Famitu's mouth curled up, and the climate in Guangzhou reminded him of the great sea of hot sand.
However, the pagan pirates are far from being compared with the tribes in Resha Sea. The tribes in Resha Sea can do whatever they want to do for a good horse, a good knife, and a good armor, because the tribes will lose everything without good weapons. The leaders of these pirates of Song State were wearing silk shoes, and the soldiers did not even have armor, and their weapons were also inferior iron swords. If this kind of sword was a scimitar of the Great Salvation Navy, the swords of Song State would be very likely to roll or break. Famaitu was originally deeply wary of the numerous pagan pirates, but after watching the battle in the past two days, he was no longer worried about the threats of these people.
"In this case, I will conquer Guangzhou City, the naval commander who was imprisoned by their own people. I am interested in meeting him."
