Chapter 699: Knocking
Thank you very much to iu_ and Tang Quanzhi for your reward!
When the Japanese invaded the city, Luo Xin did not want to use thunderbolts, but wanted to save them for a one-time blow to the Japanese invaders, so that they were not mentally prepared. Therefore, once the Japanese invade the city, it is only a fighter, and in this case, the barbed wire is very important, and it will become a line www.biquge.info of death faced by the Japanese invaders.
Seven days later.
Five thousand thunderbolts have been made, seven catapults, barbed wire and iron rods have been made. Luo Xin ordered the workshop to continue making thunderbolts and catapults, and Qi Jiguang and Luo Xin led the soldiers to lay barbed wire on the city wall under Luo Xin's guidance.
At this time, the Japanese had not yet arrived. The people in Hangzhou watched curiously as iron rods were erected on the city wall, and rolls of barbed wire were rolled above the iron rods, as if a circle of spider legs had been erected on the city of Hangzhou. They didn't understand what this was for, but they heard that the Japanese were about to attack Hangzhou, which made the people in Hangzhou suddenly nervous, and the stagnant atmosphere wafted in Hangzhou.
The news of Jinyiwei was sent to Emperor Jiajing.
After Emperor Jiajing finished reading it, he casually let it aside. Lu Bing said softly: "Your Majesty, looking at Luo Xin's actions, it seems to indicate that the Japanese will attack Hangzhou. ”
Emperor Jiajing glanced at Lu Bing and said, "Since Luo Xin is so prepared, it proves that the Japanese will definitely attack Hangzhou." Luo Xin would not be wrong, otherwise he would not be worthy of being called the god of the Ming army. ”
"It is said that there are more than 50,000 Japanese ......," Lu Bing's face showed worry.
Emperor Jiajing sneered and said, "I'm not worried about this, what I'm worried about is that if Luo Xin serves Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang in Hangzhou City this time, how should I reward him?" ”
Speaking of this, he rubbed his temples with a headache, and then slammed the table and said angrily:
"Did Hu Zongxian eat for nothing? With so many armies in his hands, but he allowed the Japanese to roam the southeast, if he could destroy the Japanese and Luo Xin, why should I have a headache? ”
Lu Bing also had a headache, he was now allied with Luo Xin, so he naturally didn't want Luo Xin to be remembered by His Majesty. I don't want Luo Xin to be promoted too quickly, otherwise he will find someone to hold a grudge.
But......
Just as Emperor Jiajing had a headache, if Luo Xin really annihilated more than 50,000 people such as Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang under the city of Hangzhou, if this kind of great achievement was not rewarded, it would cool the hearts of the martial artists in the world. But if so, how?
The official will never be able to let His Majesty reward Luo Xin, so there is only the title of reward. Seeing Emperor Jiajing's headache, Lu Bing was worried that Emperor Jiajing would promote Luo Xin, so he hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, in fact, there is nothing, if Luo Xin makes another meritorious service, he will be promoted to the title."
Emperor Jiajing rolled his eyes and said, "He is now a first-grade Yang Lin Hou, and then he will be Yang Lin Gong." ”
"Oh......" Lu Bing couldn't help but have a headache.
Huang Jin on the side was also thinking about Luo Xin at this time, he had the same thoughts as Lu Bing, and felt that Luo Xin must not be promoted, even if he was promoted to the title, he could not be promoted, and he could not return to Beijing at this time. Sidewalk:
"Your Majesty, in fact, even if you give him a duke, there is nothing, and there is no real power. It's just a reputation and a lot of money. ”
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it then." And I guess Luo Xin is also a person who understands the times, and he will not put this kind of great credit on himself. He should share some of these credits with Hu Zongxian and hide some from his eldest brother Luo Xin. Well, he still has Qi Jiguang under him, he should give all these credits to others, and he doesn't have any credit. ”
Lu Bing and Huang Jin were both happy in their hearts, and at the same time decided in their hearts that they must write a letter to Luo Xin for a while, so that Luo Xin could share all his credit.
"But ......" Emperor Jiajing frowned again and said: "Luo Xin will definitely give a large part of the credit to Luo Qing, so Luo Qing can't help but reward it, these two brothers are one in the southeast...... It seems that Luo Qing needs to be transferred to the north. ”
Day 7.
"What?" Hu Zongxian looked at the scout standing in front of him in shock, and said half-loudly: "The Japanese went to Hangzhou?" ”
"Yes, Dashuai!" The scout said, "One more day, we will be able to come to the city of Hangzhou." ”
"Teng!"
Hu Zongxian got up from his chair, walked to the front of the desk, and walked back and forth on the ground.
"Why? Why? Why didn't the Wako go to the water division, but to Hangzhou? Why? ”
The generals in the tent also frowned and couldn't figure it out, Hu Zongxian suddenly paused and said:
"It must be a conspiracy of the Japanese Bandits, they went to Hangzhou just to make a false shot, trying to attract us out, their real purpose is still the sailor.
Right!
It must be so! ”
He looked at the scout and said, "Explore! ”
"Yes!"
The scout departed. The atmosphere inside the tent became stagnant. Hu Zongxian's expression regained his self-confidence, and he waved his hand and said:
"Let's disperse first, and be ready to fight at any time."
"Yes!"
Next.
It was still the scout who stood in front of Hu Zongxian, and Hu Zongxian still had the shocked look he had yesterday.
"What? Have the Japanese arrived in Hangzhou? ”
"Yes!"
"How is Hangzhou City?" Hu Zongxian was in a hurry, if Hangzhou City fell, he would be in big trouble.
"The Japanese were just camping, not attacking Hangzhou."
"Hoo ......"
Hu Zongxian let out a long breath, and his hanging heart was put down. However, then he stood up and walked back and forth in front of the case, he was worried that the city of Hangzhou would be captured by the Japanese invaders, but he did not tell whether the quasi-Japanese invaders really attacked Hangzhou, or wanted to attract them out, the real purpose was still the sailor. Yu Dayou on the side said softly:
"Dashuai, with Luo Xin in Hangzhou, there will be no problem in Hangzhou. At the very least, there will be no problems in the short term. ”
Hu Zongxian was shocked at this time, who is this Luo Xin? He was the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, and had long anticipated that the Japanese would attack Hangzhou. At first, I didn't think so, but it turned out to be in accordance with Luo Xin's judgment. At this time, he really wanted to go to Luo Xin's front and ask, why did the Japanese go to Hangzhou, instead of the water master?
At this time, not only he, Hu Zongxian, admired Luo Xin, but also the generals in the tent began to admire Luo Xin in their hearts. It's just that they don't know if the Japanese will surround and send reinforcements as Luo Xin expected, if this is the case, then Luo Xin is worthy of being the god of the Ming army.
"But......" Hu Zongxian's expression that had just relaxed became nervous again: "Luo Xin only has six thousand people. ”
All the generals were silent, and each of them was secretly calculating in their hearts, if they only relied on 6,000 people, how many days would they be able to hold out in the face of more than 50,000 Japanese robbers, and the most confident people would only think that they could hold out for a month.
Hu Zongxian returned to his seat and sat down, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "Luo Xin can hold out for at least half a month, let's wait and determine the ultimate goal of the Japanese Kou." ”
Hangzhou City.
Two classes.
At this time, there were a lot of people seated, and it stands to reason that the Japanese have already besieged the city at this time, and Qi Jiguang, Luo Qing and others who should be sitting here are discussing the military. But this is not the case, sitting here is actually the head of the five major families plus a middle-aged man who was born with a strong martial arts.
There was laughter outside the door, and Luo Xin and Song Danian walked in together. Song Danian received Luo Xin's invitation and came in a hurry. In his mind, now that the Japanese are besieging the city, Luo Xin invited him, it must be to study the matter of defending the city, but when he walked into the second hall with Luo Xin, he found that there were no Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing in the second hall at all, but there were five family masters and a middle-aged man. He also knew the middle-aged man, who was said to be the deputy head of the mighty dart bureau. When the Hangzhou Dart Bureau opened, this person once came to visit him and gave him a gift.
Song Danian couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, what is Luo Xin doing here? What's wrong with this, why are you still getting involved with these people?
"Meet Lord Luo, Lord Song." The five masters and the deputy chief dart stood up and saluted Luo Xin and Song Danian.
Luo Xin waved his hand to sit down, and he and Song Danian also sat down. Luo Xin looked at the four family heads and the middle-aged man, and said with a smile on his face:
"I think everyone knows each other, this is the head of the Weiwu Dart Bureau, Liang Weiyuan, who is in charge of the dart bureaus in the southeast. Seeing that the market is about to open, I found that there is still a lack of a large carriage and horse shop, and the mighty dart bureau is just right for this carriage and horse shop, which can not only transport goods, but also ensure the safety of goods. Therefore, I invite you to come today, on the one hand, to introduce Liang Weiyuan, and on the other hand, to discuss the details of the last time we talked about it. ”
Song Danian and the five great families understood what to discuss the details, this is specifically to introduce Liang Weiyuan. Everyone knows that once the market is opened, the carriage and horse shop will definitely be a business that makes money every day, and I don't know how many benefits this mighty dart bureau gave Luo Xin, so that Luo Xin can promote him so much?
However, jealousy turned into jealousy in his heart, but he knew that he must befriend this Liang Weiyuan in the future. The atmosphere became harmonious all of a sudden, and Song Danian couldn't laugh or cry. The Japanese have all hit the doorstep, and Luo Xin is still here to make money, this heart ...... It's really big......
In fact, the five great families were not in much of a mood to discuss the details, and everyone only talked for less than two quarters of an hour, and Luo Xin said with a smile:
"It seems that everyone hasn't thought about it yet, and this matter is not in a hurry, you go back and think about it in detail, and we'll talk about it in detail at another time."
The five masters of the family confessed again and again, patted their chests and promised that they would be thoughtful next time. Luo Xin and Song Danian sent these six people away side by side, looking at the direction in which the six people left, Song Danian smiled bitterly:
"No, you really have a big heart, and you are still thinking about ...... at this time"
"I did it on purpose." Luo Xin lowered his voice and said.
"What do you mean?" Song Danian's face tightened, he looked left and right thinking about it, and then asked in a low voice.
"Lord Song, you and I both know that this Xu Hai and the others were recruited by the six great families at the beginning."
Song Danian's face changed: "What do you mean?" ”
"I don't know the thoughts of those five, but I know that if I don't give them enough confidence and let them know that I am Luo Xin, the city of Hangzhou will be impregnable, and once they are threatened and lured by the Japanese invaders, secretly occupy a city gate, and then open the city gate, then we will be forced into a dead end."
"How dare they?" Song Danian's color changed.
Luo Xin nodded and said: "I shouldn't dare, because I have already analyzed with them a few days ago, once the Japanese invaders break the city, they will not let go of their five great families, and their five great families will also turn into ruins." Today, I deliberately pretended not to take the Japanese as a thing, and gave them confidence that there should be no problem in the short term. ”
"In a short time?"
Luo Xin smiled faintly and said: "It depends on the development of the battle situation, if the battle situation is favorable to us, they will naturally stand on our side." However, if the situation is unfavorable, then everything is difficult to say. ”
"That'...... Are you sure you can hold the city? Song Danian's face turned pale.
"Defend the city?" Luo Xin's eyes slowly showed a fierce color: "What I want is not to defend the city, I want to make this Hangzhou city become a hell for the widows." ”
Lu Fu.
The five masters gathered together again, and Lu Ding said with a relaxed expression: "It seems that Lord Luo didn't take the Japanese in his eyes at all, and when the army was besieging the city, he still wanted to open the market, hehe......"
"Don't forget Lord Luo's other identity, he is the god of the Ming Army, I think this time the Japanese are kicked to the iron plate."
"But...... There are more than 50,000 ......"
"Yes, Lord Luo only has 6,000 people."
"Legend has it that Lord Luo defeated 200,000 Tartars with 2,000 men."
"You say it's a legend."
On the steps of the city's ship.
When Song Danian thought that there were tens of thousands of widows outside the city, he didn't fall to the bottom of his heart, and said to Luo Xin: "No, why don't we go to the city to have a look?" ”
"It's good! Presumably, the Japanese have already finished camping at this time, so let's go and meet the Japanese invaders. ”
Song Danian beckoned to his sedan chair driver, but was stopped by Luo Xin and said, "Lord Song, let's walk in the car and go on foot." ”
Song Danian's heart moved, and a smile appeared on his face and said: "Yes, this can also calm the people's hearts." ”
So, Luo Xin and Song Danian walked side by side along the street towards the city wall, and Wan Daquan led people to open the way in front, but Luo Xin waved his hand and said:
"Followed behind, babbled."
"Yes!"
Wan Daquan honestly led people to follow behind, but his nerves were extremely nervous, and a pair of tiger eyes looked around from time to time. For fear that an assassin would suddenly rush out.
Suzhou and Hangzhou are all water towns, although Hangzhou is not as full of waterways and bridges as Suzhou, but it is also a water town style. Luo Xin and Song Danian wore official uniforms and walked across small bridges from time to time, which soon became a scene in Hangzhou. Luo Xin's attitude was leisurely, as if he was going green in March, Song Danian was infected by Luo Xin beside him, and gradually his expression became calmer. Luo Xin looked at the pink walls and tiles, and the bluestone steps were covered with moss; The bridge street is connected, and the water pavilion is facing the river, and I can't help but sigh:
"This scene is like a painting!"
