Chapter 260 Internal Fight

Wu Hanchao was stunned for a moment, but then he thought that when he heard from his uncles and uncles that not only women in the ethnic tribes such as Miao, Zhuang, and Bai could charge and kill the enemy, but also succeeded to the position of leader, he said relievedly: "Yes, I am a general under Governor Yang. I came to chase these Japanese pirates, and the army behind me arrived immediately."

While he spoke, he waved the long sword in his hand, with a strong sword light and agile as a dragon. Those ordinary Japanese pirates were not his opponents. Although the Japanese pirates swung their swords like a horse and shouted like thunder, they seemed very brave, but Wu Hanchao had already stabbed the three people in an understatement when he spoke, and the Japanese pirates' offensive eased.

While fighting the Japanese pirates with ease, Wu Hanchao looked around and praised: "Your soldiers are well-trained, and this in-person battle formation is unique and very clever."

Xiao Ai saw that the Ming general was extremely skillful in martial arts. The four Japanese pirates in front of him were wielding the Japanese swords, which made it impossible for him to meet the enemy with one arm. Fortunately, he looked around with a flawless land. He also secretly admired him. Now, when he heard the wise warrior praise his soldiers, he felt very glorious and couldn't help but smile proudly: "That's natural. Our Zhuang family soldiers won nine out of ten battles, and there are few times when they are defeated."

Wu Hanchao laughed, and suddenly kicked a Japanese pirate in a lingering sword, knocking a Japanese pirate backwards out of the attack circle. He turned his breath on the spot, and suddenly another beheading team rushed up happily, regardless of whether he was dead or not, and then swung his head and chopped him up.

It turns out that when the strong man sent troops, the head man always distributed silver for the amount of the caps he seized when rewarding merits. These ordinary strong man lived a hard life. Only by fighting bravely in battle can he get the reward of the head man and used it to improve his own economic conditions. Therefore, four of the seven attack teams were responsible for killing people and three were responsible for collecting "money". Each head was harvested, a piece of silver was paid. How could he not be happy?

With Wu Hanchao helping the inside and attacking inside and outside, the group of desperate Japanese pirates were finally wiped out. Wu Hanchao stopped and looked around and said to Xiao Ai: "Little Love Head, the battlefield situation is too chaotic, and our army arrived later. It is difficult to join the battle group to fight together. In this way, your troops will suffer a lot of casualties. Can you have a way to make the soldiers retreat?"

Xiao Ai stared at her round eyes and said in surprise: "Retreat? Why should we retreat after we win the battle?"

Wu Hanchao said: "The Japanese pirates are showing signs of fleeing westward. To the west is Taihu Lake. I ordered the light cavalry to rush over and drive away all the ships, and then we gather people and force them over."

Xiao Ai suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile: "Haha. I understand, come, withdraw the troops and seal the south and the east!"

Immediately, a Zhuang man raised his horns and blew "wow" and a seven-man attack team covered each other and slowly evacuated the battle. Wu Hanchao took this opportunity to rush back to his army and gave urgent instructions. This place was a depression and muddy to the west, and there was a short forest further ahead, and there was no horse at all. But the Suzhou defenders in the lead route were familiar with the path here and immediately led more than a hundred knights to rush westward.

At this time, Yangling and Min Wenjian led a large army to arrive one after another. Wu Hanchao hurriedly came forward to explain the situation. The Japanese pirates got a chance to breathe, and immediately gathered less than 1,300 remaining people and escaped from the depression in a panic and rushed into the dense forest. They immediately shocked countless crows in the forest and flew into the air.

As the saying goes, don’t enter the forest, but the Japanese pirates have few bows and arrows. The Ming army is several times higher than the enemy, and the Zhuang soldiers are especially good at fighting in the jungle. Once they enter the dense forest, they are like fish in water. They don’t care about the threat of the dense forest at night. The two sides gathered troops and immediately chased after them.

The way westwards, there were either depressions or muddy squats, rice fields and grass, and the army was very muddy. The Ming army had armor on their bodies. The boots they wore seemed to weigh dozens of pounds and could not pull their feet at all. Most of the strong soldiers led by Xiao Ai were a pair of straw sandals. When they encountered mud, they even took off their shoes. They were reluctant to throw them away. They tied two straw ropes and put them on their necks, and chased them barefoot.

This Japanese pirates had never suffered such a great loss in the Ming Dynasty. They escaped so miserably. The repeated setbacks completely shattered their brave shells. When they fled to a sand river with more than two meters wide and deep, their speed slowed down. About 400 Japanese pirates who had no time to cross the river were caught by barefoot pursuers. As soon as they fought, the Japanese pirates who had already lost their morale were killed by Zhuang's soldiers and retreated step by step.

A Japanese pirate leader loudly called in Japanese to avoid the front of the Wolf Army and fled to both sides along the pebbled river slope. Unfortunately, the Ming army also chased after him. The Japanese pirate team scattered into a long snake was quickly cut into more than ten pieces and was swallowed by the Ming army and Zhuang family soldiers.

The Japanese pirates on the other side were already stunned by the killing. Deputy Chief Akimoto Akimoto did not take this opportunity to lead his subordinates to escape. He actually had a whim and wanted to use this river to stop the Ming army's attack. Until more and more Ming troops began to attack with bows and arrows, he was depressed to find that he had no danger to defend at all, so he had to give up the river bank and continue to go westward and flee to Tang Village.

Because there is only one road to the west, it will eventually reach Tangcun. Therefore, the Ming army and local light cavalry arrived first and ordered the whole village to leave immediately. They ordered Baojia to call people to drive the ship and bamboo raft away.

These people were all surrounded by the waters, and they had nowhere to escape. They simply helped the elderly and young, and all boarded the boats and bamboo rafts, and rowed far away to a place two or three hundred meters away from the shore in the middle of the lake. The Japanese pirates rushed to the lake and found that there was no land by land and no boat to cross. The Ming army behind them rushed over with shouts. The only thing they could do was to fight with the water.

Nine hundred courageous Japanese pirates were lost, behind the Taihu Lake water, ahead of them was more than 30,000 Ming troops with strong morale. This was a battle without any suspense. In the rain of guns and arrows, the Zhuang family soldiers attacked first, and they were still in groups of seven people, responding to each other, but the officers and soldiers with high fighting spirit rushed in immediately, slashing at the enemy with bright swords and guns and stabbing them.

The formation of the Zhuang family soldiers was scattered by their own people. They didn't care about the Zhuang family formation that had always been well-trained. The fierce Zhuang family soldiers simply learned to fight each other, rushing forward while making wild beasts.

Only the "beheaded trio" in the entire battlefield remained calm. They crept behind their teammates. No matter whether the Japanese pirates were killed by Zhuang family soldiers or the Ming army killed the land, they took advantage of the melee and the heads and managers who couldn't see them, and just cut off their heads and stuffed them into their pockets.

When Yang Ling rode his horse and rushed to the shore of Taihu Lake, the torches were bright everywhere, reflecting thousands of golden snakes in the lake water, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky. Looking at the water, it seems that it has been stained with blood.

The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and dragging the headless bodies aside. There was no living left in this battle because the injured and undead Japanese pirates were also taken away by the beheading team while the "reward" was not prepared.

In the team in a row but joyfully, two rows of torches walked towards Yang Ling. First, Wu Hanchao and a graceful girl in a blue shirt, and behind them were two rows of heroic female soldiers.

Wu Hanchao walked to Yangling's horse and said happily: "Sir, this is a local official in Nandanzhou, Guangxi. He ordered the commander of Nandan and surrender. In that place, Donglan, Zhili, and Tianzhou, Miss Song Xiaoai."

When Yang Ling received the news from the court, he knew that the wolf army was transferred to various provinces. The leader of the Daodi in Guangxi was a female general, but he didn't expect that it was such a young and beautiful girl. He hurriedly jumped off the horse and bowed, "It turns out that it is Lord Song, I have been admired for a long time. Thanks to you coming to the land in time, you can wipe out all these Japanese pirates. This is a great contribution. I must have submitted the imperial court to ask for merit for Lord Song!"

Song Xiaoai caressed the silver collar. He looked him up and down a few times before taking a step forward and bowed deeply. The place was actually an authentic Ming military salute: "Song Xiaoai, the general general of Guangxi Taoist General, will meet with the Governor."

Wu Hanchao was stunned when he saw this. When he rescued the girl from the Japanese pirates, he heard her speak in a daze. He thought that this leader did not read poetry and did not understand etiquette, so he was worried that this scheming girl would ask the stupid question of commanding the wolf soldiers of the six states and commanding the army of the six provinces. Who is the big and who is the small. Unexpectedly, General Song was generous at this time and his words were just a perfect person, and he was completely different from the straightforward and rude appearance just now.

How could he know that the local officials in Nandan Prefecture were originally established during the Hongwu period. At that time, Song Kaishi, who was a Jinshi from two lists and served as a member of the Ministry of Revenue, was sent to the Ministry of Revenue. After serving as a local official according to the rules, Song Kaishi became a master of Zhuang. Although the descendants of his land were no different from those of the Zhuang family, they still read poetry and books at a young age, and practice literature and martial arts. How could the Southern Barbarians regard it?

The sound of the piano is faint. Sometimes it is as thin as a hanging silk, if you don’t listen quietly. You can hardly hear the string sound, but if you listen with your ears, you can hear the gentle and low sound of the piano gradually rise up melodiously. A heart is like a petal falling into the spring water. After a few whirls with the waves, it floats down smoothly, and the heart is really indescribable.

"The Wind Enters the Pine", another song that Yang Ling likes to listen to the most. She sat cross-legged, pretending to be gentle, Yang Ling closed her eyes and listened to it, and then applauded: "Okay! This song "The Wind Enters the Pine" is good, and she can play it better. Xueer is also good at piano, but this song "The Wind Enters the Pine" is played by you, and the artistic conception is very different from her. I feel like I am here, and you are the only one who is a girl."

Yang Ling flattered her a lot. Seeing that Cheng Qiyun was calm and pretty, she didn't raise her eyelids, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't be angry, right? Isn't this safe and sound? Moreover, I will kill 6,000 Japanese pirates this time. When the news spreads, the morale of the six provinces will be greatly boosted. What's even more rare is that the 20,000 bear soldiers have been reborn as real heroes after this battle.

I will reward my merits tomorrow. If I am rewarded, I will reward you if you are wrong, and if I am punished, I will clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Taking this victory as an opportunity, I will use military laws and joint seats as a means to reorganize the army. I will then order the generals of the army to study the methods of local battles of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, and then teach these 20,000 troops. I will use them as seeds to make all the officers and soldiers of the six provinces undergo a big change. In this way, the eradication of Japanese pirates is just around the corner. What a happy event? Aren't you happy for me?"

Cheng Qiyun snorted softly from her nose, looked at her with a smile, and glanced at him. Seeing that he was complacent and proud, the anger in her eyes couldn't help but fade away.

She sighed softly and said, "The son of a thousand gold is not in the hall. Isn't it often said that the commander should look at the overall situation and not show off his courage? Why can't I suppress myself and go to the battlefield in person? If you have any good or bad or bad..."

Yang Ling whispered: "I know... I'm worried about you, alas! What I'm talking about is just a normal situation. If you don't play with such soldiers who don't play hard and don't personally suppress them in the army, what's the use of you if you have a hundred tricks? This is a matter of urgent need to follow the power."

He noticed Cheng Qiyun's tiredness. She had been fighting outside for a night, and she should have been worried and sleepless in the city, right?

During this period, Cheng Qiyun took too much pressure. Although she was extremely smart and talented, she had to bear so many things alone. Thinking about the many headaches, Yang Ling couldn't help but feel pity in her heart:

She had to arrange the intelligence work of the internal factories here; coordinate the complex relationship with the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Jinyiwei; formulate and clean up finances and taxes, and deal with various system structures such as the Governor's Office, the Command and Command Division of the Six Provinces, the Administrator Division, and the Censorate Division; and actively raise and allocate Yangling's command to suppress bandits and collect reinforcements and all the food, fodder and military pay. It can be said that every thing is a matter of exhausting one's mind.

Although Yang Ling has been pretending to be confused, how can she not understand what she is trying to do?

"Qiyun, it's really hard for you!" Yang Ling suddenly held Cheng Qiyun's small hands as white as jade and said to her with apology.

Cheng Qiyun struggled gently, but she didn't break away from Yang Ling's hand. She gently raised her beautiful eyes. The autumn waves looked like water, staring at Yang Ling, and a touch of gentleness gradually emanated from her eyes: for a long time, except for the two girls around her, she treats anyone, even a man who regards herself as a treasure, cannot express his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. He has to play a show all day long and please.

Those people appreciate not their own talents, but they care about their own feelings. They want to be just a beautiful pet and a signboard to increase their value. They are willing to spend a lot of money on themselves, but how could anyone respect themselves as someone?

There is only the person in front of me, only this man who is a few years younger than her, making her a man who loves and is inferior, and only he can get so close to his heart. He is the most caring man in his own world, and the only man. From now on, until forever...

The two of them didn't speak, and a strange feeling flowed between each other's hearts in the tranquility. Until Cheng Qiyun's eyes became watery and began to exude an unbearable charm, Yang Ling let go and turned his face to interrupt: "When I returned to the city this morning, the Sichuan soldiers and Shandong soldiers also arrived. I arranged them to station in the east of the city, and prepared to train first. Observe their combat power, it's best to accept the guidance of my personal army and then enter the battle. You can arrange some of the food and money raised first."

Seeing that he was not distracted, Cheng Qiyun escaped her eyes, with a look of embarrassment, and couldn't help but smile in victory.

She smiled softly and said, "Yes, these things are not something that I have to worry about. I will arrange them later."

At this time, a group of big and thick soldiers in Suzhou City were wandering around the alley. These were the Shandong reinforcements that had just arrived this morning. Of course, ordinary soldiers were not allowed to leave the barracks, but this group of people were Meng Sihai and his personal soldiers who brought the troops to the rescue. Who dared not to let him go out of the barracks?

The scenery of Suzhou is full of the characteristics of Jiangnan water towns, with pink walls and flowing water alleys. The soft and charming atmosphere is very different from Shandong. Although Meng Sihai is a general, he has never read books or understood any poetry, but he still sees this unique soft and beautiful scenery.

Meng Sihai was admiring as he walked: "Damn, the scenery in Jiangnan is different from that in our Liaocheng. Unfortunately, I don't know how to draw pictures. Otherwise, I would draw a picture and show it to my wife. Our yard will also be so clean, it will definitely look good!"

His personal captain Zhong Fu hurriedly said, "Sir, what's the problem? Let's find someone who can draw and ask him to find a beautiful house. After drawing it, we will go back and build it. Just hire a master to gesture. Just put in the effort. Just let's do our best. Oh, Sir, how about that house?"

Meng Sihai looked up and cursed with a smile: "Go to your mother, that's a restaurant. Why can't I build a house? Can't I build a restaurant? Let my wife open a tavern?"

Zhong Fu smiled and said, "No, I didn't pay attention to the wine banner just now. Besides, their houses are almost the same, and they are whistling in the flowers."

Meng Sihai touched his stomach and said, "I'm still hungry when I walk around. Let's go and try the food in Jiangnan, and whether it tastes delicious."

Zhong Fu winked and smiled, "Okay, let's go. My lord treat you, brothers, please benefit from it."

Meng Sihai was generous, and these personal soldiers were very fed by him. When they heard the adults' teeth sacrifice, the soldiers were all energetic and rushed into the restaurant with Meng Sihai.

The Ming army defeated 6,000 Japanese pirates overnight and recovered Wujiang City had spread, and the people in the city were filled with joy. Many people couldn't help but go to the restaurant to drink and celebrate, where six or seven tables of guests were already sitting.

Zhong Fu led his men to snatch them in. At first glance, he saw four tables beside the wall. He happened to sit down more than 30 of them. He quickly snatched over and patted the table, and shouted loudly, "Sir, there is a place here, come and sit down."

"Hey hey. I have already decided on that place. You can find another tavern." With the shouting, several Sichuan soldiers walked down from the building. They were the Sichuan Army who arrived this morning. Jiang Zhou, the general commander, also went to the city to stroll after setting up camp.

He went upstairs and saw only two empty tables. He took a few personal soldiers to sit down and asked the others to go downstairs. As soon as these people turned back downstairs, they saw a team of officials trying to grab the seat. They couldn't help but shout.

Zhong Fu, the group of personal soldiers, was used to being arrogant. In addition, General Governor left here in shame and left this person. Moreover, the man claimed to be me, so Zhong Fu was unhappy and slapped the table without saying a word and started arguing.

When the restaurant and the diners saw that it was two groups of soldiers from other places fighting, no one dared to come forward to persuade them. They just stood aside with fear.

When Jiang Zhou heard the argument downstairs, he hurried to the entrance of the stairs to look down. Seeing that the two sides were just quarreling, his soldiers were not at a loss, so he calmed down and stood there with his arms in his arms and looked down coldly.

His personal soldiers were much inferior to these Shandong soldiers in terms of figure. They were a little timid, but at this time, they saw General Governor standing at the stairs to support them, so they could not lose the price.

When he heard Zhong Fu lifting their ginseng generals out of their ginseng, he wanted to suppress himself. The captain of the Sichuan Army, Qiao Zian curled his lips disdainfully and said sarcastically: "You guys, I want to scare me? You ginseng generals from Shandong. Can you control my Sichuan soldiers? I don't even care about this table, I'm going to settle for this table."

Zhong Fulun's mouth was not as sloppy as he said, and his chest was so angry that he couldn't speak. He could only breathe heavily. Meng Sihai's face turned pale, but he was not good at quarrel with these soldiers, so he just squinted his eyes and looked at his personal soldiers' movements.

Qiao Zian was even more proud of his tongue at first sight. He raised his thumbs up and said in a very simple manner: "Ge, let's try it. Today I will stand here and fall. I will move my baby and look at it. Don't see your baby looking recklessly. It makes me angry. I will make you smoke with your hands!"

Zhong Fu's lips trembled for a long time, and then he slapped the table, then he yelled: "Brothers fuck him, a little maid!" With a "slam" and rushed forward with the table and chairs. A "Shandong Dafeng" sent Qiao Zi'an out, and smashed a table with a "boom" and scared the diners to hurriedly hide.

A group of soldiers immediately pinched a group of soldiers. When Jiang Zhou saw that the two sides had started fighting, he became very angry. While cursing "the son of the turtle", he rushed down. The Shandong soldiers only saw a group of Sichuan soldiers rushing down from the upper floor to help, and they didn't care about his grade. Jiang Zhou had just turned the stairs, and the Shandong soldiers had already picked up a bench and opened his head with a "bang".

The soldiers of more than 60 years old started fighting. The diners in the building were frightened and even the boss fled. They heard the "turtle son" and "little maid keeping the land" in the building. The owner of the shop was trembling with a crackling sound.

A smarter guy hurriedly said, "Boss, boss, these soldiers are under the Governor's Office. They are only two streets away. You might as well go to the Governor's Office to report a letter!"

The shop owner suddenly realized, and hurriedly pulled up the hem of the robe and stuffed it on his belt, shouting "Officers and soldiers fighting", and rushed to the Governor's Office in a panic.
Chapter completed!
