Chapter 1890 I have a bold idea
It is already four o'clock in the morning.
It is pitch black outside, with no stars to be seen, as if endless thick ink has been poured down from the sky. You can't see your fingers with your hands. The wind is howling, and the humidity is biting. There are no human beings outside, just birds. Traces are also rare.
In more than an hour, dawn will come, and this is when people are sleeping soundly.
In the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Pingan was lying on the big fragrant bed, hugging the fragrant Li Shu, and snoring loudly.
Li Shu, who had been unable to sleep well for several days, slept particularly soundly amidst Zhu Ping'an's snoring like a broken gong.
Qin'er, who was on duty in the ear room, covered her ears with a pillow. Her big dark circles under her eyes showed that she had not slept well.
“Poor young lady, I was worried about my uncle’s safety a few days ago, and I didn’t sleep well for several nights in a row. Now that my uncle has finally come back, I was so shocked that I couldn’t sleep due to such loud snoring. The young lady must not be able to sleep well. Poor young lady. My uncle is also pitiful. He is leading troops to fight against the Japanese pirates outside. It is a rain of swords and arrows. I heard that the Japanese pirates kill people. The unblinking villain eats the hearts and livers of children alive, cooks human flesh in copper pots, and my uncle leads the troops to fight with them. He must have endured a lot of hardships to be so tired. I usually don't snore when I sleep, but this time I snore. "The thunderous sound"
Qin'er covered her ears with a pillow while thinking pitifully, and the dark circles under her eyes became more and more serious.
Compared to the pitiful Qin'er, there are even more pitiful people out there.
Magistrate Shang's cronies were still riding fast in the cold wind. They had already replaced the horses at the two inns. I only slept at a post station for more than an hour, then got up and continued on my way.
This is an eight-hundred-mile express, and the master has repeatedly warned me that it must be delivered to the capital as quickly as possible.
The master promised a huge reward, promotion and salary increase.
So, several cronies of Magistrate Shang worked hard to smear the government in the dark, and rushed straight to the capital without stopping.
Dozens of miles away from Suzhou, there is a group of people hiding in the bushes shivering, enduring the cold wind.
This group of people is Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates who escaped.
At that time, the Zhejiang army opened fire, and they fled southward in panic from the other side of the river. Because it was dark, they didn't know the way, and they were so panicked that they went in the wrong direction.
Originally, he was supposed to escape to the southeast to expand his lair in the forest, but by some strange combination of circumstances, he ran to the southwest.
When they robbed and killed a village, upon questioning, they found that they had entered Jiaxing Prefecture.
"Ma De, it's all the fault of that little thief Zhu Ping'an and the damn Zhejiang Army for causing us to end up like this!"
The Japanese pirates in the bushes shivered like jackdaws in the cold wind. They were cold and hungry, so they couldn't help cursing.
"Insidious and shameless! They only use tricks and sneak attacks! If they fight us openly and openly, how can they be our opponents!"
"That is, although their firearms are sharp, but It doesn't last long and is difficult to reload. We are definitely no match for them in the field! In that battle in front of the city gate, if they had fought for another hour and a half, their Zhejiang army would have been able to defeat us. The whole army was wiped out!"
"If Zhu Ping'an falls into my hands, I will cut him into pieces to satisfy my hatred."
The Japanese pirates in the bushes mentioned. When Zhu Pingan and the Zhejiang Army arrived, they gritted their teeth with hatred, wishing they could eat Zhu Pingan and the others alive. If it weren't for Zhu Pingan and the Zhejiang Army, how could they have fallen to this point!
The cold wind was biting and the bushes were shivering. I couldn't even get a full night's sleep. I was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back!
If it had been normal, they would have had enough to eat and drink, and they would have been sleeping soundly while holding the robbed women up and down!
"Report, there is a troop coming five miles ahead."
A Japanese pirate scout rolled and climbed from the distant hillside and approached Xu Hai and Maye. The two reported.
As soon as they heard that soldiers and horses were coming, the Japanese pirates in the bushes suddenly panicked. They thought it was the Zhejiang army who was chasing them, and they subconsciously ran away. They couldn't help the Japanese pirates. Firearms.
"Asshole! Baga! Sit down, be silent, and hide!" Xu Hai couldn't help but cursed loudly when he saw this, "Can we have some potential! This is already Jiaxing Mansion. Without orders from the Ming court, how could Zhu Ping'an and the others dare to chase across the mansion? Come!”
The Japanese pirates calmed down after being scolded by Xu Hai. Yes, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could not just cross the house!
That means that these soldiers and horses coming over are not the Zhejiang Army!
It would be easier if it weren’t for the Zhejiang Army! Except for the Zhejiang Army, all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are worth mentioning!
Since they became Japanese pirates, they have encountered many Ming armies, and no one of them has been defeated by them! Basically, none of the guardsmen in the Ming Dynasty could fight, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, with nothing to lose!
"How many people are there in this army?" Xu Hai asked.
"Judging from the torches they held, there are almost a hundred people." The Japanese pirate scout thought for a while and replied.
"There are only more than a hundred people." Xu Hai touched his chin, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and felt a heartache. A ruthless look appeared on his face, and he waved his hand, "Then do it. They! Don’t blame us for sending them to our door!”
“Brother Xu, we only have more than 400 people left, but we can’t withstand a big battle. These 100 Jiaxing soldiers are easy to kill! , but Brother Xu, have you ever thought that if we kill these one hundred Jiaxing soldiers, Jiaxing Xingfu will definitely not give up! Although Jiaxing Prefecture is not as good as Suzhou Prefecture, it is only slightly inferior to Jiangnan. There must be many Ming troops in its territory. Although the Ming army is incompetent, this is the only number we have left. four hundred There are people coming. No matter how ferocious the tiger is, it can't stop the wolves. Brother Xu, think twice!"
"It's not appropriate to cause trouble at this time. Brother Xu, we'd better go back to Tuolin's lair and discuss it later!"
Upon hearing that Xu Hai was going to kill this Jiaxing soldier, Maye couldn't help but become nervous and repeatedly tried to dissuade him.
After being attacked repeatedly by Zhu Ping'an and leaving only about 400 people in the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, Maye has become a frightened bird.
More than four hundred Japanese pirates cannot give him any sense of security!
Now he just wants to return to Tuolin's old nest as soon as possible. They went to Suzhou this time and left more than 10,000 Japanese pirates in their old nest to look after their homes. They can only return to Tuolin's old nest, which they have been operating for several months. Only when he returned to a group of more than 10,000 Japanese pirates could he feel safe.
So what if the Zhejiang army has firearms? There are still several artillery pieces in their Tuolin lair! Even when the Zhejiang Army came, he was not weak at all!
If they attack and kill this Jiaxing soldier, the Jiaxing government will definitely not give up. They will be chased and intercepted. There will definitely be fierce battles on the way back to their hometown. They only have more than 400 Japanese pirates now, but they cannot withstand a few fierce battles.
So, when he heard that Xu Hai was going to create a new problem and kill this Jiaxing soldier, Ma Ye nervously tried to dissuade him.
"Haha, more than four hundred people are already a lot. A few months ago, the Japanese in Shangyu had less than a hundred people, and they could move across thousands of miles, capture many cities, and even ride on their horses to show off their power outside Yingtian City. Killed a censor, a magistrate, a county magistrate, two commanders, and two The total of more than 3,000 officers and soldiers has become a legend in our Japanese army! Our current strength is four times that of theirs! Brother Ma, I have a bold idea."
Xu Hai patted Ma hard. Ye's shoulder smiled and looked towards the direction of Jiaxing City.
"No, Brother Xu, we are defeated now and we don't dare to have bold ideas." Maye shook her head without listening.
"The sad soldiers will win!" Xu Hai grinned. (End of this chapter)
