Chapter 211: Magical Calculations (Eighth)
Ye Chunqiu sat silently at the bow of the boat, watching the scenery on both sides of the strait pass by himself, and he couldn't help but think that this seemed to be the weakness of the Japanese. This bravest warrior must be the most outstanding among the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese advocated force, which means that this person must be the leader among the Japanese pirates, the least effective, and one of the leaders. If you kill this person... you will be twice the result with half the effort.
Why……
Ye Chunqiu held the sword. Although he checked the many characteristics and weaknesses of the Japanese pirates, it seemed that it was useless. Such a person was one of them in a hundred. He was a person who licked countless blood with his sword head. It seemed that it was no more difficult to kill him than annihilate a group of Japanese pirates.
And... how to make the official army be prepared?
Ningbo is getting closer, but Ye Chunqiu still has no clue at all.
A scholar is useless, and only when the matter comes to an end will he know that the so-called classical articles, poems, songs and essays are jokes.
Ye Chunqiu shook his head in his heart. The only comfort was that there were braised sea bass on this official boat. Uh... The boatman seemed to be well aware of cooking sea bass. He made it very delicious. He ate delicious sea bass, and then thought about the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Ningbo. Ye Chunqiu felt that he was quite funny, and he felt pain and happiness.
Finally, I still can’t worry about the world before I worry about it, and then I enjoy the world after I enjoy it.
"In ancient times, the sages of ancient times must not think about food or food when they encountered my situation..." Ye Chunqiu thought so in his heart, and he was still in a very complicated mood and feasted.
"Boatman, why is your fish so delicious? Did you add garlic?"
The ship's family was recruited by the government and was honest: "Officials, the villain used to be a chef. Isn't this the imperial court's dispatch? Alas, autumn is coming soon, and there are a few acres of thin land at home. I don't know if the official family is willing to release people. They urgently hand over the shop. The post official is very difficult to talk to and has to use silver. But if the old man had silver, he would have bribed the local chief and chief security officer. How could he come to serve this corvee service? You are a member of the official family, so naturally I don't know the reason."
Ye Chunqiu smiled and asked more questions. He didn't know about the local levies and labor service, but it was a pity that he could not change it. The only thing he could do was to stuff some broken silver when he got off the ship, and the ship owner thanked him very much.
Having arrived in Ningbo, Ye Chunqiu was in a hurry to go to the Haining Guard Office. After finally getting there, he found that it was much colder. Several sects saw that it was Ye Chunqiu and greeted him warmly. Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "I don't know if the money command is here?"
Mendingdao: "Mr. Dusi personally conquered the Japanese pirates' nests. Haining Guard followed the army to the army, but Commander Qian did not go, but he had moved to Linkou Shui Village and led his army to guard the army."
Qian Qian did not go to the battle, which was good news for Ye Chunqiu. In any case, there was finally an old acquaintance in Ningbo... Although... this guy is not very reliable, well, the size of a mosquito is a piece of meat.
Ye Chunqiu asked about the path of Linkou Shuizhai. He wanted to go to Tongjitang, but he thought that if he went there, his uncle asked why he returned to Ningbo, but he didn't know how to answer. Moreover, time was urgent. There were only five days left before the Japanese pirates landed, five days left... every second was to fight.
Fortunately, Ye Chunqiu was in good physical strength and was not out of breath, so he hurried to Linkou Shui Village.
Hainingwei is essentially a navy, mainly to protect the peace of Ningbo's sea area. In addition, it is to patrol nearby islands. Therefore, although the Hainingwei's yamen is located in Ningbo City, in fact, the real core is in this Linkou water village.
This is close to Ningbo's bay, similar to a military port. The actual amount of Hainingwei is 5,000, but in fact, it is probably only more than 3,000 officers and soldiers.
When Ye Chunqiu approached Linkou, the prevention and control here began to be severe. He was intercepted by several scouts halfway through. These horses and crossed their swords and shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
Several people were aggressive and surrounded Ye Chunqiu. They were very nervous at first, but when they saw the Lun Scarf on Ye Chunqiu, they breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were just a little scholar. What did a little scholar come here to do?
Ye Chunqiu bowed to them, and because the sky was dim, he said loudly: "Ye Chunqiu, a student from Zhejiang, came to ask for money to command."
Now I wish the higher the profession, the better. Ye Chunqiu almost said that he was Jieyuan, Zhejiang. The matter was urgent, so it would be more important to make the other party pay attention to it.
When he heard that it was Ye Chunqiu, one of them turned over and dismounted, and then he bowed to the ground: "It turned out to be Chunqiu, Ye Jieyuan... Ye Jieyuan, I am Zhao Xi, the thousand households of the Haining Guard. If it weren't for Ye Jieyuan's wonderful hands, I would have died. Oh, I don't know how to repay the kindness of life. Today, I was patrolling the camp, and I never thought that I would run into my benefactor. My benefactor, please accept my benefactor."
Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment and carefully identified it. It was the Qianhu who almost died of a life-threatening death? By the way, does this count as fate?
Well, Ye Chunqiu was much more relieved. The other soldiers were obviously Zhao Qianhu's personal soldiers. Seeing that his Shangguan met his benefactor, he did not dare to neglect him, so he dismounted and bowed down one after another.
Ye Chunqiu hurriedly helped Zhao Xi up and said, "Oh, you don't have to be polite, it's just a coincidence. Zhao Qianhu, I have to go to the water village to meet the money commander, and I have to trouble Zhao Qianhu to get along with it..."
Zhao Qianhu smiled and said, "This is easy to say, don't say that you are not Jie Yuan, just this life-saving grace. What's incompatible with Hainingwei? Benefactor, get on the horse."
Ye Chunqiu was not stubborn. At this point, it seemed too pretentious to be used as a polite conspiracy. He rode Zhao Qianhu's horse directly, and Zhao Qianhu led Ye Chunqiu's horse under his head. Ye Chunqiu had many things to ask: "Du Si personally fought, how many military horses did Haining Guard have been there?"
Zhao Xi naturally would not be on guard against Ye Chunqiu and said without any concealment: "This time, all the garrisons have made efforts, and the boat troops of Haining Guard have also come out in full swing. Now those who are staying in the camp are either me who still need to be cured. Then there are some old and weak people, with only seven or eight hundred people responsible for garrisoning here. Benefactor, what happened? I see your face is not good-looking."
Of course, Ye Chunqiu could not say that I had a clever plan. I was sure that the Japanese pirates were coming. I just said, "It's nothing, I'm just visiting you. I want to ask the commander to do a little favor." He thought to himself, what should he do? Seven or eight hundred old, weak and sick, hey... The ones who landed must be the elite Japanese. They slaughtered thousands of people and kidnapped hundreds of people, which means that their number should be quite large, at least at least five hundred people.
Five hundred Japanese pirates, they were all fully armed, and they were bandits scattered in the vast ocean.
