Chapter 1514: Planning for big things in the middle of the night (Part 1)
As night fell, the Zhejiang army set up camp outside the city, lighting up the bonfire like stars.
The Zhejiang army ate big fish and meat and roasted it on the fire. Many generals in Yuanzi were angry and kept scolding the officers and soldiers in the city as evil-minded maggots, cold-blooded snakes and worms, and those who repay kindness with hatred. Dongguo wolf and so on.
"What are you yelling about? You didn't listen to the adults. How can we show off the show of our Zhejiang army without a few pig teammates? Before, more than fifty Japanese pirates besieged the city, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops on the city. Don't even dare to fart They were cowering on the high wall, and our Zhejiang army, which only had more than 800 people, attacked the Japanese pirates with a strong momentum like a tiger, and was not afraid of death. They beat the Japanese pirates to pieces and fled in embarrassment. Haha, the more cowardly the people on the city became, they The more fierce we are, the more By comparison, the faces of the officials in the city have been swollen. Didn’t you see that all the high-ranking officials in the city have no face to show up?!"
"Hey, it seems like they have closed the city gate tightly. It's a good thing, let's fight the Japanese away The bandits were still so scared that they closed the city gate tightly. They were so scared that they went to grandma's house. Do the officers and soldiers in the city still have handles?! Hehe, I guess if they take off their pants, all the officers and soldiers in the city will be little toothpicks, hahaha .……”
"Hmph, just wait, stay until late at night, your lord will lead us to accomplish something big, we will be famous all over the world, and the officers and soldiers in the city will be infamy for thousands of years. By then, we can make the swollen faces in the city bleed, so that When they see us, they will tie their crotches in shame. , when the time comes, people with a discerning eye will know how good our lord and our Zhejiang army are, and how incompetent the Yingtian defenders are!”
……
Eat and drink well, and have a good time. After the verbal exchange, the Zhejiang general laughed and was in a happy mood.
It was getting dark and the meal was over. Zhu Ping'an ordered that except for the fifty alert sentries, all the other soldiers and horses should go into the tent and sleep. Even if they couldn't sleep, they should lie on the straw bed, close their eyes, rest, and recuperate. Keep up the good work!
The Zhejiang army here eats well and sleeps well, and the Japanese pirates are not bad either.
After the Japanese pirates safely evacuated from the city to the southeast, they initially lurked in a forest waiting for the Zhejiang Army to pursue them. When the Zhejiang Army pursued them, they rushed out of the woods to attack and kill them. However, the Zhejiang Army simply retreated as quickly as they charged. After retreating, There was no further pursuit at all.
Japanese pirates ambush a lonely man.
“This Zhejiang army is too cowardly. At first they rushed towards our army. I thought they were a strong army, but I didn’t expect that they were no different from other Ming troops. They were all cowards. "
Nabeshima Naoman came out of the woods, spitting a mouthful of phlegm, and cursed sarcastically.
"The leader of this Zhejiang army is a relative of the emperor, so how can he risk his own life? The charge just now was just speculation. They hid in the woods for who knows how long, until Panasonic and others were cut off from Yingtian City. They affirmed that we There is no hope of retreating, so we rush out to bluff and gain fame. In the final analysis, these royal relatives and nobles are the ones who cherish their lives the most. If they are good, they will not come again until we sail into the sea. Already..."
Matsuura Sanbanlang looked in the direction of Yingtian from a distance, curled his lips disdainfully, and looked down upon the Zhejiang Army.
"That means they won't attack?" Nabeshima asked.
Matsuura Sanbanlang nodded without hesitation and said confidently, "Now Yingtian is a frightened bird, and the Zhejiang army is risking its life for speculation. If we don't turn around and attack the city, they will be thankful. How dare they pursue us?" Attack."
"Xingxi! Then go south to find a village, eat and drink well, and rest for a night. Tomorrow, we will march southeast to Wuxi, sail into Suzhou, and return to Feiqian to report to His Highness." Nabeshima Naonan. ordered.
"Onboard! Onboard!"
After hearing the news about returning to the sea, a group of Japanese pirates howled excitedly. After fighting in the Ming Dynasty for so long and stealing so many precious gold and silver jewels, they were homesick and wanted to return to their hometown with dignity and prestige.
Suddenly, a group of Japanese pirates, led by Nabeshima Masao and Matsuura Sanbanro, sang Hizen songs and marched forward swaggeringly.
A few miles ahead, the Japanese pirates encountered a small village. However, the villagers ran away with their families and their valuables and food, leaving only some worthless items that were inconvenient to carry. of household items.
From the stone tablet erected at the entrance of the village, we can know that the name of this village is Guocun.
The Japanese pirates went into the village and plundered it, but they didn't find much, only half a bag of millet.
The millet was inedible and had to be ground into rice. The Japanese pirates thought it was troublesome, so they threw away the millet and continued on their way, cursing.
What they don’t know is that there is an inconspicuous but not difficult to find secret cellar in the backyard of the main house in Guo Village. The secret cellar contains a lot of grain, dark meat bacon and Laotan wine. However, the Japanese pirates did not search very carefully. They rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and left without finding anything valuable. They missed such a secret cellar.
Not far from Guo Village is Niu Village. The Japanese pirates came out of Guo Village and rushed into Niu Village. Like Guo Village, Niu Village also had villagers who left a thousand and two nets, leaving valuables and food. All taken away.
The Japanese pirates plundered Niucun, but they found neither valuable things nor food to satisfy their hunger. They were very angry. If they didn’t want to expose their traces too much, they would have killed all the people in Guocun and Niucun. Burn the fire.
Similarly, the Japanese pirates did not search carefully and did not find a cellar under the wall of the largest and richest man in Niucun's house. The cellar also contains a lot of grain, soy sauce chicken and sauce duck, as well as several jars of fine daughter's red wine.
After successively gathering ashes in Guo Village and Niu Village, the Japanese pirates entered Zhangjiazhai, and Zhangzhong Village was also empty of people.
However, Zhangjiazhai is indeed a famous wealthy village nearby. The Japanese pirates found a cellar in the ancestral hall of the Zhang family in Zhangjiazhai. In the deepest part of the cellar, there were dozens of bags of grain, more than ten jars of flour, and dozens of altars. Good wine, dozens of jars of pickles, top of the cellar Dozens of strips of bacon were hung on it.
Not only that, the Japanese pirates found two large black pigs, five goats, and a group of chickens, ducks and geese deep in the Zhang family’s garden. Several bags of grain were also placed on the ground. , allowing these animals to eat. It was obvious that the Zhang family members were running away in a hurry and had no time to take the livestock away. They could only hide the livestock in the garden and throw away a few bags of grain, intending to take them back home after escaping.
These are all cheaper for the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates occupied the most luxurious home of the Zhang family in Zhangjiazhai and used his two-story house as a temporary base. They would raise grain, wine, pigs and chickens from the Zhang family ancestral hall. All the ducks gathered in the yard.
"Make rice, kill pigs and sheep. You guys have their feet on the ground. It's been a hard day, so let's give it a good reward."
Nabeshima ordered with a wave of his hand.
"General, wait a minute. In order to prevent accidents and prevent Mingren from poisoning, it is not too late to verify it for a while before using it as before. Although the possibility of this is close to zero, Mingren is cowardly and does not know what we are waiting for. Where to stay today, but be prepared. We are about to return to Hizen, so it’s better to be careful.”
Matsuura Sanbanro took a step forward, pointed to the food and wine in the yard, and reminded softly.
"Haha, Sanbanro, you are just careful. However, there is nothing wrong with being careful, so let's verify it first as usual." Nabeshima Masao smiled and nodded, instructing the Japanese pirates to verify the food, wine and meat. No problem. The Japanese pirates poured flour, pickles and wine into several basins and fed the pigs, chickens and ducks. After waiting for half an hour, they found that the pigs, chickens, ducks and geese were all fine. Then they felt relieved and started killing pigs, muttons, stews and barbecues. , making pancakes
Soon, the aroma of meat and wine wafted from the Zhang family's courtyard
