Chapter Eighty-Five: The Bandits Are Rampant
After landing on the coast of Zhejiang, a group of only 53 people successively attacked Hangzhou, Yan, Hui, Ning, Taiping and other prefectures and counties, and finally approached the city of Jinling, and began to organize the siege of the city with great fanfare.
When this group of Japanese invaders reached Nanling, Nanling County sent 300 officers and soldiers to defend the city, and the Japanese invaders broke the defenders and rushed into the county seat to set fire to the houses. The officials of the three county governments around the county town led their troops to help, and when they fought, the officers and soldiers fired arrows at the Japanese slaves, and the Japanese invaders actually caught the arrows with their bare hands, and the three hundred officers and soldiers saw that they were still fart, and they ran away with a shout.
But you must know that Jinling is the capital of my ancestor Hong Wuye, and Huizong still established the capital here when he ascended the throne during the Jianwen period. After Jianwen and Cheng Zu did not agree, the blades met, and after Cheng Zu was victorious, he moved the capital to Beijing, and Jinling became the capital of Liu.
However, its function as a political center was weakened, but it still retained a complete administrative system, tall walls, and tens of thousands of garrisons.
Among them, the city wall of Nanjing is famous all over the world. It is said that Song Wansan, the richest man of the generation, spent a huge amount of money to repair this wall in order to curry favor with Zhu Yuanzhang. And in order to ensure the quality of the project, each wall tile is engraved with the origin of the brick, once there is a problem, it can still be held accountable after thousands of years. It can be seen that the quality of the entire city wall is very good.
But now, in the face of the city of Nanjing, which has high walls and thick walls and excellent quality, the Japanese team composed of only 53 people dares to organize an attack? You must know that at that time, there were more than 10,000 defenders in Nanjing, not including reinforcements from the surrounding areas. According to the general understanding, this move is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
But in the end, the battle situation was shocking!
That's the fifty-three thieves. The defenders of Nanjing fought with them twice, and the Japanese crown actually killed two commanders-in-chief, and also killed eight or nine hundred Ming soldiers, and he didn't even have any injuries, so he left calmly!
The thirteen gates of Jinling are closed, the people of the city are all on the city, the elders of the hall and the subordinates of the division guard each door, although the slaves do not know where to go, but everyone still does not dare to slack off. Xiaoman and Jingmo also went up the wall, Nie Xiaoman was almost fainted, this dignified Jinling City was surrounded by dozens of thieves and couldn't get in and out, it was really a shame that had not been heard of for thousands of years.
Pursued by a large number of officers and soldiers, the 53 Japanese invaders crossed the border of Wujin County and arrived at the Huishan Temple in Wuxi, where they ran wildly for more than 180 miles in a day and night!
The reason why this gang of would-be robbers finally fell into the encirclement of the official army is also due to the merits of two ordinary people. At that time, this group of Japanese robbers arrived in Wuxi, because they were weak and weak, and wanted to take Changshu to meet with another group of Japanese robbers in Zhelin, so they arrested two locals to walk in front as guides. Changshu was in the north of Wuxi, but these two people deliberately led them to the south, and when they met passers-by along the way, they quietly informed: "The Japanese have arrived, you should quickly report to the officers and soldiers, they have fallen into a desperate situation, come and capture them!" β
The Japanese invaders finally went to Suzhou and fell into the trap of the official army, and these two "heroes and righteous people" were finally miserably dismembered by the Japanese invaders, which is really a sigh.
These extremely tired Japanese slaves arrived at Suzhou Hushu Pass, and they were already destined to be unable to escape. Cao Bangfu, the commander of Susong, and Wang Chonggu, the deputy envoy, led Dong Bangzheng, the commander, Zhang Xuan, and Lou Yu, the commander, and led thousands of officers and soldiers to lay a net.
Heavy troops were deployed on land and on the shores of Taihu Lake. Cao Bangfu was a minister known as the "Zhibing" in the Jiajing era, and later he was also responsible for military affairs in Jiliao and other places. He personally went into battle, deployed heavy troops, and used cattle knives to kill chickens, all because this group of pirates was too rampant.
The officers and soldiers who had been waiting for work at ease finally engaged the Japanese Kou head-on, and under Cao Bangfu's strict orders, they had to fight to the death, and died in military law before they died. Wu Lin Temple met suddenly, the officers and soldiers bravely stepped forward to capture and beheaded 27 people, and the remaining Japanese invaders fled to Lingyan, seized a few civilian boats and prepared to escape from Taihu Lake, but unexpectedly saw the official and military boats and flags on Taihu Lake, did not dare to cross over, abandoned the boat and walked to Hengjing Qianma Bridge, and hid in a private house.
The officers and regiments surrounded the houses and attacked them with fire, but the Japanese could not resist and desperately fought their way out of a bloody road, and after running out of a large road, they scattered and hid in the fields. The officers and soldiers could not find them, and they thought they had fled. At this moment, a military leader, Wu Sheng Che Liang, touched the corpse of a Japanese robber on the ground with his hand, and found that there was still residual warmth, knowing that the Japanese had not fled far, and saw the "slight movement of grass and dew" in the field, so he asked his officers and soldiers to shout in unison: "The thief is hiding in the field!" This trick really worked, and the wheezing and undecided wokos were frightened and ran out, and they were all captured, and no one escaped.
Although this group of Japanese slaves died, they left too many mysteries, they traveled thousands of miles, did not plunder wealth, did not commit adultery ~ adultery, did not kill civilians, officers and soldiers suffered four or five thousand casualties, killed the Ming Dynasty a royal history, a county Cheng, two commanders, two generals, and finally the whole army was wiped out. What is the purpose of such suicide attacks in a foreign land?
And the people of many prefectures and counties regard Jinling as a haven of refuge, and they actually help the old and the young to come like a tide. In the hearts of these fleeing people, they all hope that the war will end as soon as possible, and nothing else is enough to arouse their interest.
Jing Hei, who is a Jinyi guard, is naturally busy spinning in place, and it is easy for this matter to be over, so he specially went to visit Nie Xiaoman.
As soon as Jing Mo entered, he saw Nie Xiaoman wearing a short shirt and shorts, dressed like a farmer, walking around his study. On the floor next to the circle chair were piled up with books and criminal department files, all of which were messy.
In addition, there is a large bowl of Suwen soup and a pu fan on the desk.
This soup is the first to be created by Dongpo laymen, composed of ginger, jujube, white salt, boiled licorice, cloves, woody fragrance, tangerine peel, mostly common medicinal dietary therapy products, can be decocted or drunk instead of tea, can achieve the effect of "red and white face until old age".
However, Xiaoman made such a big bowl, obviously as a drink to cool off.
As soon as Nie Xiaoman saw Jing Mo coming, he stopped and looked at Jing Mo and asked, "Jing Mo, how are you doing these days?" Do you feel bored? β
Jing Mo smiled and replied, "What about yourself?" β
Nie Xiaoman frowned and said, "Well, then you don't need to say it!" Have a seat. Do you want to drink a bowl to relieve the heat? As he spoke, he filled Jingmo with his own bowl.
At this time, although the summer heat has passed, the weather in Jinling has not cooled down at all. Jingmo really felt very hot all the way, so he sat down and drank a glass of Suwen water, and his heart felt a little cooler.
Nie Xiaoman asked, "I haven't seen you for many days, what are you busy with?" β
Jing Mo shook his head and sighed: "It's not these fifty-three thieves who made trouble, of course, I haven't seen any of them, it's all blind." β
"What's new?"
"Yes, it is said that this incident made Lord Hu very unable to get off the stage, and there was a lot of noise in the court, and there was a lot of noise, as if a military attache surnamed Qi was going to be transferred from Shandong."
Nie Xiaoman nodded again and again: "Oh, the military attache surnamed Qi? What kind of person is this, did the court transfer him to pacify the widows? β
Jing Mo shook his head and said: "It should be, it seems to be called Qi Jiguang, it seems that the ancestor is also a military attachΓ©, and he has an official position." I don't know what effect such a person can have. β
"Qi Jiguang?" Nie Xiaoman repeated the name, feeling very unfamiliar.
