Chapter Seventy-Seven: Capturing Qishan (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
The two ran all the way before the curfew, until they came to the alley in front of the back door of the Hu Mansion, Hu Yan leaned against the wall on the side and panted to the Yahuan Xiaoqing next to her, who was also falling apart, and said, "Let's take a break, take a break and go into the mansion, otherwise we will be in big trouble if we are bumped into by our father." ”
"What are you afraid of me bumping into?" A deep man's voice sounded beside him, not loud, but at this time, it did sound like thunder in Hu Yan's ears.
"Ahh Hell. As soon as she heard the voices of other people, Yahuan Xiaoqing instinctively screamed, and then ducked behind Miss Hu Yan.
"Xiaoqing, what are you doing? I can't hear it, it's my father's voice. But Hu Yan is still calm, mainly because she has been listening to it for so many years, and she has long been familiar with that voice.
grabbed Xiaoqing, who was still a little panicked, Hu Yan lowered her head, and said with a look of doing something wrong, "Father, my daughter is just bored at home and going out for a walk." ”
"Wandering? Ascension to you? His voice suddenly became a little more stern, and two figures flashed out of the alley. It was Hu Changning and one of his subordinates, Gao Sheng, one of the two who had been taught by Yang Er in the old mansion of the Yang family in Jianjia Mansion.
"Yes, sir. In the afternoon, Xiaoqing found Captain Sun Chuang (another person who had been beaten by Yang Er) and asked him to go to Baihuatang and book a table..."
"That's enough." Before Gao Sheng could continue, Hu Yan had already interrupted him. Even if my father had even investigated all of this, there was no point in explaining anything. "Father, daughter is just curious about what those two new songs are like, so..."
"So you dare to go to Baihuatang? Do you know what it is? Do you know what to do if your identity is revealed, or if you meet a disciple? Do you know..."Hu Changning was obviously very angry, and he counted Hu Yan for a long time in one breath. In the end, Hu Changning, who had been talking for a long time that Hu Yan was not, made a final decision, "Hu Yan does not abide by the law of etiquette and will be banned for one month." Yahuan Xiaoqing didn't do what Yahuan should do, she didn't take care of her master, she was punished for half a year, and she was beaten... Hit the board twice, and Gao Sheng sent someone to execute. Captain Sun Chuang acted recklessly, fined him for half a year, and beat ten boards at the same time. ”
Hu Changning, who said this angrily, turned around and left, leaving Hu Yan with an incredible expression. Then she suddenly shouted loudly, "Father, you can punish me as much as you want, don't hit Xiaoqing, it hurts too much to go down the two boards." ”
didn't pay attention to his daughter, Hu Changning's steps were getting faster and faster, as if he would change his mind if he slowed down.
couldn't stop her father, so Hu Yan had no choice but to set her eyes on Gao Sheng's body for help, "High school captain, can you write down Xiaoqing's two boards first, I will go and intercede with my father, okay?" ”
"No, the orders given by the adults must be carried out." Gao Sheng shook his head, this time Hu Changning was really angry, Captain Sun Chuang had to be beaten ten boards? If he dares not to carry out the military order and not beat Xiaoqing, then the person who will be beaten will be himself.
......
Yang Chendong didn't know that Hu Yan went to Baihuatang in disguise as a man in order to listen to a new song, and was arrested by Lord Hu Changning and grounded. He was in the kitchen with Yi Qiu'er adjusting various drinks, preparing for the opening of the Immortal Residence. What he didn't know was that on the same night, the Kaohsiung Navy and Army jointly launched a military operation to seize Qishan.
In the early years of Ming orthodoxy, the elderly Zhongshan king Shang Bazhi conquered Shannan, and together with the previously conquered Shanbei and Zhongshan, he formed a unified Xiaoliuqiu Kingdom (the first Shang dynasty).
This was also the golden age of the Ryukyu Kingdom, with a highly developed commerce and trade with the Ming Dynasty, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Japan. But everything was still just beginning, and it was forced to stop because of Yang Chendong, and the powerful navy led by Kaohsiung harassed and surrounded the Ryukyu Islands. As a result, the Ryukyu Kingdom suffered huge losses, and maritime trade was hindered, and it became a closed country.
The occupation of Chichicheng and the sealing of the sea route made the sixth king angry to death, and was succeeded by the seventh king Shande, who was still a minor.
Sander, who was only twelve years old, took over the throne because of his father's early death. However, although you are the king of the land, you still can't change the critical situation on Ryukyu Island. He also sent ships to break out to sea and tell the outside world about the situation.
Without exception, the ships were sunk just out of port.
To say that the small Liuqiu country is also full of disasters, following the first Zhongshan King Ba Zhi has only been more than ten or twenty years now, and it is true that several kings have died before and after. Either he died of illness, or something happened when he went to sea, and now all the burden falls on the young Shangde, how can he not be anxious. After trying all kinds of methods, he finally decided to stick to the help, and maybe after a long time, someone would find out that something was wrong with the Ryukyus, and they would send someone to investigate.
Suntech still has a little hope, but Kaohsiung can't wait.
When Yang Chendong was about to leave Chichicheng, he told him that once the population was sufficient, he would think about expansion, and the first thing was to eat the entire Xiaoliuqiu Kingdom and occupy the whole island. Now, every few days, there will be boats going back and forth between the Black Wharf and the Red Embedded City, and the boats are all pulled by the people of the Han nationality of the Ming Dynasty, all of which Leng Song quietly got through the uprising of Deng Maoqi.
Leng Song completely obeyed Yang Chendong's orders, plundered people when he saw them, and robbed things when he saw them, and for a while, the Red Embedded City, which had a low population base, began to develop and expand rapidly. Although there is no danger in sight now, Kaohsiung remembers what the sixth young master said, "People have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries." To this end, he decided to attack the Flag Mountain, which was closest to the southwest of Chiji City.
In line with the principle of exchanging the smallest casualties for the greatest victory, Kaohsiung made a detailed pre-war plan before making his move, summoned Lieutenant Xiao Feng, commander of the first army company, and Lieutenant Tengshan, commander of the third company, who were at home, and made a battle plan for attacking Qishan with the outside world.
At the beginning of September of the thirteenth year of Ming orthodoxy, when Yang Chendong had just arrived in Beijing and was still making trouble, Kaohsiung launched an operation.
On this night, the night was dark and the wind was high, especially in an island area like Ryukyu, and at night, the night wind was stronger, and the flag on the wall of Qishan shook vigorously, and the flagpole seemed to be broken at any time.
On such a night, it is rare for anyone to come out and walk, even on the city wall, and several soldiers of the Shang Dynasty who are in charge of the night have long hid in a sheltered hut to rest.
In the hut, twenty soldiers were all crowded here, causing the captain Li Lun's face to be displeased: "Everyone has come here to rest, who guards the city wall, what if that guy pirate kills him?" ”
"Captain, don't worry about it. With such a strong sea breeze, the city wall more than three feet high wants to climb up, but it is not blown away by the sea breeze? Besides, I don't think there is anything wrong with those pirates, and occasionally when the weather is good, our brothers can see that the people on the other side are all dressed well, and all of them are oily, and they must have eaten very well, unlike us, even the military pay is often in arrears, and the life of the people will only be more miserable. ”
One soldier didn't seem to be afraid of Li Lun, and when he complained, the other soldiers also started talking.
In this regard, although Li Lun was a little angry, he also knew that his prestige was not enough to shut up these people. Speaking of which, he is also angry, his wife and children can't eat enough, and he, the captain, is extremely unmotivated.
Everyone was sighing spontaneously, saying that they were born at the wrong time, completely unaware that in such a strong sea breeze, Leng Feng had already used the triangular anchor and other equipment in his hand to climb the city wall of more than three zhang masters.
Such a city wall may seem very high to others, but for the Leng Feng team members who often have to climb the assessment, this is just pediatrics. In less than half a pillar of incense, a row of thirty advance team members all came to the top of the city tower.
"Such a strong wind, shoot." Xiao Feng, the commander of the first company who followed the first batch of team members to the city tower, decisively asked the soldiers to put away the crossbow and replace it with a 95 submachine gun after feeling the whistling wind in his ears.
Thirty men moved in unison, and it took only a few seconds to hold the guns in their hands while conducting a pre-battle inspection.
As the first person stretched out the thumb of his right hand to indicate that the examination was complete, the next twenty-nine people did the same one by one. All this was done silently and quickly, and it was clear at a glance that this was not the first time that such training and drills had been conducted.
Xiao Feng saw the performance of the Leng Feng in his eyes, lightly raised his forehead, and then made a gesture of scattering and surrounding. Thirty soldiers fanned forward. Still, not a single one made a sound, and in the darkness of the night, like elusive ghosts, they approached the hut that could live on the upper floors of the city.
In the hut, the soldiers were still whining. As the captain, Li Lun had already closed his mouth and narrowed his eyes. If you have that time to rip off, you might as well rest for a while, so that you can eat less and bring more to your children when you eat tomorrow morning.
"Hey, I really don't know when such a day will end." Thinking about the current situation, Li Lun, who sighed in his heart, suddenly heard the sound of the porter, and then he stood up excitedly.
He knew that his team of twenty soldiers was in the hut, and that the ones who could appear here at this time were either his superiors who came to inspect them, or the enemy was attacking.
