Chapter 143: His Highness hates Japanese pirates the most
Lin Hao still ran away.
It’s not that the pursuit along the coast is ineffective.
In fact, I knew that Lin Hao might be on the boat, and the prefectural government office along the way ran to notify the people along the coast, asking them to report the suspicious person immediately when they found it.
The people knew that they wanted to capture the beast who brought Japanese pirates to kill the villagers, and they really had the spirit.
Countless people ran to the shore and waited with kitchen knives, iron forks, shoulder poles, etc. from their homes.
As soon as they see the ship with the appearance written on the drawings, they will report it immediately.
The ship was not that stupid, and they didn't keep walking on the water. They had just walked for half an hour and got off the boat and prepared to escape.
But in the era when flying pigeons spread their letters everywhere, the news spread very quickly.
As soon as they got off the boat, they were caught by a group of yamen runners.
Although the yamen runners were no match for them, the news was immediately leaked.
The garrisons rushed from all directions and the yamen runners forced the group to escape into a valley. However, after the garrisons put on iron armor and rushed wildly with carriages, most of the guys were killed in battle, and a small number were captured.
The Sei Seng, who was rushing over by boat in person, did not find Lin Hao's traces among the group of people.
It is said that the Japanese are hard, and Xi Kan takes action personally and tortures the seven captured people with torture, and finally gets the exact news.
The leader of their group was not Lin Hao, but a shogunate intelligence official named Ito, but Ito had been beaten to death.
Lin Hao asked Ito to prepare near the dock first. If it succeeds, it is best if it fails. If it fails, it can escape and wait for the next opportunity with a useful body.
Ito is an official, and all officials are afraid of death, so he happily accepted the suggestion.
When it failed, Ito immediately ran away on a boat.
Unexpectedly, Dakang reacted so quickly, and mobilized so many people to snipe them, and even killed Ito.
Xi Kan felt quite regretful that he had not captured Ito alive, otherwise he would have obtained more information about Japan.
But what he was even more upset was that he did not catch Lin Hao.
But I had to tell Liu Mingqi that I could only write a letter from Fei Ge.
...
"Grass!"
When Liu Mingqi received a letter from Fei Ge, she couldn't help but curse. She slapped the table and almost slapped the table.
Chen Xiaowei is by his side.
After spending time with Liu Mingqi for a long time, she knew that Liu Mingqi was not a prince in the traditional sense at all. He had no airs. As long as you did not make any mistakes and were not his enemy, he would be just an ordinary boy next door.
No matter how you look at it, you feel like a split person.
It is hard for Chen Xiaowei to imagine how such an ordinary boy could have fought from Jiangnan to the northeast, then from the northwest grassland to the Tubo, and then through the entire Western Regions.
However, before, Liu Mingqi's guards captured hundreds of Japanese pirate wounded people. Without hesitation, he directly broke the Japanese pirate's limbs and threw them into the open space, allowing the people to tear all these Japanese pirates to pieces.
A man of such a fierceness shouldn’t be a hero who is seen by the eagle and wolf?
But the fact is that Liu Mingqi is very nice to ordinary people. For example, in the yard where he broke into the door, he not only compensated 1,000 taels of silver, but also gave them several bottles of flower essential oil. He was so polite that he was not as angry as a prince.
Seeing Liu Mingqi so angry, Chen Xiaowei wanted to persuade him a few words, but Chi San on the opposite side shook her head at her.
When Liu Mingqi left the door angrily, before Chi San and his friends went out, they quickly said to Chen Xiaowei: "Empress, what my highness hates most in his life is the Japanese pirates, and the second is the beast who defected to the Japanese pirates... In this matter, you must not persuade anything..."
After saying that, Chi San ran away.
Chen Xiaowei felt a little ridiculous.
In fact, she had already felt Liu Mingqi's disgust towards Japanese pirates.
Because when discussing the best training ground for the Chen family in the capital last year, Liu Mingqi talked about the Four Islands of Japan.
This was what Liu Mingqi said at that time.
"You just drive the boat and sweep them all along the coast. Kill as much as you can. After a circle, the soldiers will be trained."
Chen Xiaowei thought he was joking.
However, Liu Mingqi later said that after the cannons of the four-masted sailboat were installed, they would circle around Japan, keep firing artillery attacks, and then circled around again, and the artillery was trained.
Chen Xiaowei thought this was because Liu Mingqi saw the raging Japanese pirates in Jiangnan, so she hated Japanese pirates so much.
But now it seems that it is not the case at all.
He seemed to hate Japanese pirates from the bottom of his heart.
...
After leaving the room, Chi San caught up with Liu Mingqi and asked, "Your Highness, Lin Hao is not on the boat, are you still hiding outside this Huai'an City?"
“No.”
Liu Mingqi shook her head: "This kid is like a mouse, very good at avoiding risks. I guess he just wants to treat Ito as a pawn, let us all pay attention to it, and then he escaped from land... Maybe before launching an attack."
Chi San was stunned: "So treacherous?"
"If a beast like him wants to save his life, how can he not be treacherous?" Liu Mingqi sighed: "It's just that, I don't know when I will catch him again."
"There will always be a chance." Chi San comforted the boy, "Why do you take risks and set up a trap to cheat him next time?"
"I'm afraid he won't take action by himself, so I'm just operating behind the scenes." Liu Mingqi sighed, "Forget it, I won't talk about him for the time being, how are the Wang family and Gu family?"
"Local officials have detained all their family members, and the next thing they have to wait for Zhejiang Governor Su Feng to deal with." Chi San said: "According to Su Feng's style of handling affairs, at least they are searched and exiled."
"Hmph, they're so cheap!"
Liu Mingqi said: "If you collude with Japanese pirates and harm their compatriots according to my wishes, it is not an exaggeration to kill such people! Only in this way can people who come to be vigilant!"
Chi San laughed and said, "That's right! I think it should be like this, but this group of officials emphasizes forgiveness. I think the elderly and children must be fine."
After a pause, he said again: "Your Highness, don't you want to go to the canal shipyard to see it? The weather is good today, why don't you go there to relax!"
These two days, Liu Mingqi has been paying attention to capturing Lin Hao's heart and stayed in her residence and never went out.
Hearing this, he was really interested: "Let's go! Go and see our boat!"
...
Since Liu Mingqi was attacked, her protection has been strengthened.
A total of a thousand cannon soldiers were stationed around his residence.
It happened that Liu Mingqi wanted his guards to communicate with them about the "Qi Jiguang Formation", so hundreds of people were gesturing in the temporary military camp every day.
These Caoshangmen are not only the first learners of the "Qi Jiguang Array", but also the best practitioners.
When they fought against Japanese pirates last year, they killed 100,000 Japanese pirates and lost their armor and fled in a panic. They were also fighting by life.
With this experience, the Caomen have many of their own opinions on the "Qi Jiguang Array" and have also made many improvements through actual combat.
This is the realistic version of "practice brings true knowledge".
Liu Mingqi's group of subordinates just learned the "Qi Jiguang Array" briefly and were far from being the opponent of these master-level Caoshangmen.
Even if their individual combat capabilities are far better than those of the Cao soldiers.
Whether it is a small formation or a large formation, these guards were defeated in a mess.
The guards who were able to select the Yulin Guard were of course the pride of heaven. They were actually taught a lesson by a group of canal soldiers in such a remote Huai'an!?
How can I bear this?
So in the past two days, as long as they have time, they will fight with the canal soldiers.
Although the Caomen have an extraordinary understanding of the "Qi Jiguang Array", this is the first time that they have encountered such powerful masters as Yulin Guards.
Especially those Tubo people who participated in the war in the Western Regions were both fierce and disciplined, and they also understood Biao Ye’s attack three-three system tactics.
Several times these canal soldiers rely on exquisite cooperation to survive.
This also shocked them, who were already a little proud on weekdays, and knew that if they were riding a horse and charging, they would be killed directly at all times.
Liu Mingqi was very happy that the two men and women learned from each other.
He even felt that after Miao Yan came back, he would suggest to Miao Yan that these canal soldiers would travel to the border and "teach" more of the border soldiers.
Only by defeating the border troops through actual combat will they make progress.
The same is true for the imperial guards.
Of course, this is a matter of the future.
Now Liu Mingqi is guarded by the guards and the canal soldiers and goes to the canal shipyard.
Liu Mingqi had been here before. It was because he went to the canal shipyard. Liu Mingqi felt that Jiangnan might be a bit dangerous, so she asked Miao Yan to organize the canal soldiers who worked in the canal shipyard at that time and trained the "Qi Jiguang Array" every day, so that she could finally create such a brilliant record and defend Jiangsu.
Otherwise, the Japanese pirates would not only turn two-thirds of Jiangsu into a turmoil, but they might even be threatened.
At this time, Liu Mingqi was revisiting the old place. She looked at the huge docks and the four-masted sailboats being built, and she felt very happy.
Compared to coming here in March last year, the three docks at that time have now become a full ten.
Although only five docks are working intensively, there are still various materials placed inside the sun dam outside, and the complex work of drying and painting is being carried out.
There are also groups of woodworkers who are cutting and polishing the wood blocks into various shapes for use in a four-masted sailboat.
Oh, not just four-masted sailboats, but there are hundreds of ships of all sizes, which are also docked in the docks for various restorations.
In general, there is a thriving and lively scene here.
