Seeing the closing of the city gate, the patriarchs of the large and small families in Hangzhou Mansion did not know what was going on, so they were invited by Lu Rudai, the wife of the prefect of Hangzhou Mansion, and invited them to a banquet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the prefect's wife invited them to the banquet, this is the first time in the world, the moment did not dare to slack off, one by one quickly rushed to the prefect's yamen, and saw that the banquet had been set up, and someone led them to take a seat. Then they heard footsteps, and saw Lu Rudai walking in from the back hall, and everyone stood up and saluted.
"Meet Madame!"
"Mrs. Xie!"
Everyone sat down again, and then looked at Lu Rudai, Lu Rudai stretched out her hand and picked up the wine glass and said:
"The concubine will give you a glass first."
"Young grandma, you are pregnant, you can't drink!" Die'er, who was standing aside, hurriedly said.
Lu Rudai smiled faintly and said, "I have to drink this glass of wine today." ”
When the words fell, he drank it all. Seeing this, what else is there to say, one by one they drank all the wine in the cup, and when they saw Lu Rudai raise her hand and go to the wine jug again, Lu Ding hurriedly stood up and said:
"Madam, don't drink anymore, if you have anything, just give me an order, and we will do our best."
"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point!" Lu Rudai put down the wine jug and said: "My husband has received the definite news, Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Xin Wulang and Zhenwei have joined forces, with an army of 60,000, and they are approaching the Daming coast, and their purpose is likely to be our Hangzhou." ”
"Buzz ......"
There was chaos around them, and everyone's faces showed panic, these people can become the head of a clan, and they are definitely not stupid people. As long as they think about the 50,000 people who died under the city of Hangzhou, they know that this time it was Xu Hai and they came to take revenge, and the target must be Hangzhou.
At this time, some people had some careful thoughts in their hearts, they wondered, could they give the pirates a large sum of money and send them away?
This has not happened before, and after the pirates got the money, they all left, and these people paid for peace. Lu Rudai didn't stop those discussions, just looked at them quietly. After a period of discussion, Lu Ding stood up and arched his hand towards Lu Rudai:
"Madam, do you think we should send someone to talk to those widows, and we can give them a large sum of money to get them to retire?"
Lu Rudai said calmly: "This method doesn't work. ”
"How could it not work?" Lu Ding hurriedly said: "Although we annihilated Xu Hai and their 50,000 pirates under the city of Hangzhou before, but pirates are greedy, as long as we give enough price, they will definitely retreat."
Besides......
This time it's not just Xu Hai and Xin Golang, but also Wang Zhi. With Wang Zhi's supremacy on the sea, this time it must be him. As long as we give the full price, Wang Zhi will definitely be tempted. ”
Lu Rudai looked at Lu Ding fixedly: "You also know that the pirates are greedy, even if we can spend money to buy peace this time, but with the greedy nature of pirates, with this time, there will be a second time, and they will take this opportunity to choke the channel, and the city will be the same in the future, and Daming Haimao will also become a puppet in their hands, are you willing to call out your wealth like this?" ”
Lu Ding and the others' faces changed at that time. As the saying goes, blocking people's money is like killing your parents. They have already tasted the taste of Daming Sea Trade, if they are willing to hand it over again?
"But......" The expression on Lu Ding's face couldn't help but change: "Lord Luo is not in the city now!" Otherwise, please hurry up and invite Lord Luo back. ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Madame, please hurry up and invite Lord Luo back. ”
In the hearts of these people, Luo Xin is definitely a protective god, the real military god of the Ming Dynasty, these people all watched Luo Xin annihilate 50,000 Japanese invaders with their own eyes, in their hearts, as long as Luo Xin can return to Hangzhou City, they will immediately have the backbone, not to mention that there are only 60,000 Japanese Kou outside, even if there are 600,000, they are not afraid.
"My husband won't be back yet."
As soon as Lu Rudai's words came out, the entire lobby was quiet, half loud, and Lu Ding asked distractedly:
"Why?"
"Because my husband is encircling and suppressing Zhang Daoyuan, but my husband has already written to explain that in just five days, he will definitely be able to exterminate Zhang Daoyuan's Red Turban Army in five days. That is, we only need to hold on for five days.
Not to mention......
Now that the Japanese have not yet appeared, and my husband has already sent a letter to Hu Butang, Hu Butang has an overview of the southeast defense, so naturally he will not sit idly by. Therefore, in the end, the situation is that the Japanese may not be able to reach the city of Hangzhou, and even if they do, it is not today. That is, maybe we just need to hold on for four days, or three, two days, one day. What's more, Hu Butang blocked the Japanese invaders, and before the Japanese came to the city of Hangzhou, my husband had already returned. ”
Seeing that everyone was still thinking there, Lu Rudai said lightly: "I'm not afraid of a pregnant woman, what are you afraid of?" Or are you willing to be exploited by the Japanese for the rest of your life and let them manipulate the Ming Sea Trade? The approach of 60,000 Japanese robbers to Hangzhou seems to be a huge crisis, but why not an opportunity? In the past, they were at sea, and we couldn't reach them, but now that they are on the shore, this is an opportunity to destroy them, just like the 50,000 Japanese invaders under the city of Hangzhou. At that time, the sea channel will be firmly in the hands of our Daming, and the city and Daming sea trade can really grow, what are you still hesitating about? ”
"yes!" Everyone thought about it one by one: "Mrs. Luo is willing to stay in Hangzhou, what does this mean?" This shows that Lord Luo must have known it in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have sent his wife away secretly long ago? You must know that Mrs. Luo still has the descendants of the Luo family in her belly!
In this case, the situation may not be so terrifying! ”
In their hearts, these people's minds also moved, and they pondered one by one: "Lord Luo is a victorious military god, and all aspects must have been taken into account." And those wolves are really wolves that can't be fed, if they give in this time, then it will really be like what Mrs. said, Daming Haimao will become a puppet of the widows. ”
The thought of the silver flowing into the pirate's ship made the faces of these people contorted. Lu Ding arched his hand again:
"Madame, just tell us, what do you need us to do?"
Lu Rudai's heart was relieved, and her hands were tightly twisted under the table, but her face was still calm, and her eyes swept over everyone lightly, and everyone arched her hand and said:
"Madame, please."
"Good!" Lu Rudai said in a condensed voice: "Contribute all your family." ”
"Good!" Everyone nodded.
Lu Rudai's gaze became stern, and she swept over the crowd: "After you go back, before sending those family members, it is best to talk to them first, although they are not soldiers, but since they have entered the barracks, they must treat themselves as soldiers." This is the defense of Hangzhou City, and it is a matter related to your life. If that guy deliberately violates military rules, my husband will come back, but he will kill someone. ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts were full of joy, Luo Xin's murderous majesty, they had all seen it. Thinking of the appearance of his own family, he decided in his heart that he must tell him a thousand times after he goes back.
At dusk that day, the large and small families in the entire city of Hangzhou contributed nearly 1,000 family members. If these families still have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, almost everyone has some martial arts to some extent, but they are not good people, and the good and the bad are uneven. As the saying goes, how big a master is, how big a slave is. Like the five great families, they are simply wandering around Hangzhou, and their minions are naturally arrogant.
Originally, Lu Zhonglian, Wan Daquan, Zheng Darttou and Zhong Jin Hatun were still very worried about this matter, if these family members did not listen to the command, it would cause great hidden dangers.
But......
What they didn't expect was that these nearly a thousand family members stood in front of them, although they were not like the army, they were also honest and did not have a trace of arrogance at all.
Are these still those arrogant family members?
However, Wan Daquan, as the main general, did not ask, but completely broke up the thousand family members, as well as the more than 300 darts summoned by Zheng Darthead, and divided them into four parts, which were divided into four parts, Lu Zhonglian, Zhong Jin Hatun and Zheng Darthead, and also divided the two thousand troops defending the city into four parts, and then the four of them each began to train with their own soldiers.
After training, these four people also inquired about why those family members were so honest and willing to listen to commands, but they didn't expect that those family members would answer exactly the same, afraid that Luo Xin would come back and kill them. This couldn't help but sigh in the hearts of the four people, even if Luo Xin was not in Hangzhou City, just his name could deter others.
Taihu Lake.
By the third day.
Luo Xin, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang finally surrounded Zhang Daoyuan's Red Turban Army on a small island, Luo Xin, who was standing on the bow of the boat, frowned slightly, and the Red Turban Army in front of him was only more than 300 people. A wave of uneasiness rose in his heart, could it be that Zhang Daoyuan had already led most of the people to run away, leaving only these more than 300 people to attract their attention?
At this time, not only Luo Xin realized the problem, but Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang also realized the problem. If this is the case, Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang have nothing to do. After all, Zhang Daoyuan was caught by Luo Xin at the beginning, but in the end it was lost by Yu Dayou. And later, Yu Dayou rushed to Chun'an County, but Zhang Daoyuan used a scarecrow to put up a suspicious plan and did not enter the city for a long time, which was a problem discovered by Luo Xin, so Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang would not usher in the punishment of Emperor Jiajing, but Yu Dayou was terrible. Therefore, Yu Dayou issued the order to attack with a pale face. But he didn't expect that before the officers and soldiers landed on the island, they saw the more than 300 Red Turban soldiers kneeling down one by one, shouting that they were not Red Turban Army, only a dozen people stood there, looking at the Ming officers and soldiers coldly.
The officers and men landed on the island and approached the Red Turban Army, and the more than 300 Red Turban Army just knelt there and kept kowtowing, shouting that they were not the Red Turban Army. When the Ming officers and soldiers were still more than 30 meters away from them, the dozen or so red turban soldiers who had been standing and looking at each other coldly suddenly rushed towards the Ming officers and soldiers.
These dozen or so people were all strong in martial arts, and they actually killed several Ming officers and soldiers in an instant. Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and Luo Xin picked up the bow and arrow almost at the same time, and the sound of the bowstring was heard in the air.
"Whoosh ......"
Three of the Red Turbans rolled over and fell to the ground. Those Red Turban Army couldn't help but look at Luo Xin, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang on the bow of the ship, the momentum was weak, and they were surrounded by thousands of soldiers when they landed, but in a dozen breaths, the dozen Red Turban Army were slaughtered. The Ming officers and soldiers surrounded the red turban army who was kneeling on the ground. Luo Xin stood at the bow of the ship and shouted:
"Slow!"
The officers and soldiers who were about to hack those Red Turban Army to death stopped when they heard this, and turned to look in the direction of Luo Xin. Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang also looked at him differently, Luo Xin walked down from the boat and walked towards the red turban army who were kneeling on the ground, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang also followed behind and came to the red turban army who knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. In fact, there is no need for Luo Xin to ask, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang both know that these people kneeling in front of them are not the Red Turban Army at all, and the real Red Turban Army is the dozen or so people who rushed towards them just now. These people should be criminals who came out of the county jail, and were coerced here by Zhang Daoyuan. And Zhang Daoyuan and the thousands of Red Turban Army must have escaped early, leaving these dozen real Red Turban Army to manage these more than 300 criminals to attract officers and soldiers.
However, knowing that Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang did not have the slightest intention of sparing these criminals in the prison. After working hard for so long, and letting Zhang Daoyuan run away, you can imagine the emotions that Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were about to explode in their hearts at this time. And they can't let their subordinates fight in vain, these criminals are not a good thing in the first place, and they also cooperate with the Red Turban Army to attract officers and soldiers, so there is nothing wrong with saying that they are already Red Turban Army. In fact, Luo Xin didn't mean to stop him, he understood the mood of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang at this time, especially Yu Dayou, ran away with Zhang Daoyuan, basically his official road came to an end, and there was a high possibility of being killed by Emperor Jiajing. Therefore, if he wants to vent, he also needs to follow his brothers to get some military merits. Anyway, these people who came out of the prison are not good people, and if they are killed, they will be killed. The reason why he shouted to stop was because he seemed to think of Wang Tian, that is, Wang Mu's son. Anyway, Wang Tian has to come down. So he came to them and shouted:
"Which one is Wang Tian?"
Those who knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy were silent, and then they heard Luo Xin's shouting:
"Which one is Wang Tian?"
A roe deer-headed rat-eyed man raised his head and looked at Luo Xin and said, "This lord, Wang Tian followed the Red Turban Army. ”
"Huh?" Luo Xin frowned and said, "Make it clear." ”
"Yes, sir!" The man hurriedly said: "The Red Turban Army left Taihu Lake before the officers and soldiers arrived, and when they left, they took away the strongest of our people, but left us people here. My lord, we are all forced, my lord, spare my life. ”
