If you want to talk about this, it was caused by Lu Douyin...... It is said that when he got Shen Mo's permission, he went to Wujiang County, asked Tang County to borrow a house, and then learned from Cao Mengde to put up a list and recruit talents.

What he never dreamed of was that in just a few days, more than 500 people signed up, and later there were several 'heroes', and hundreds of people came over at once, so that Lu Douyinle couldn't keep his mouth shut, thinking that he was really like Cao Mengde, and his personal charm was invincible.

As everyone knows, those people's gangs have actually existed for a long time, and they are all the sons and daughters of some big families, colluding with some hooligans and ruffians, relying on power, running rampant lawlessly, idle, not doing production, gathering to rob, and trying to kill people for money, all of them are real social scum.

Because Shen Mo promoted the 'assessment law' in Suzhou Prefecture, all counties are now included in the assessment, and one of the most important assessment instructions is to explicitly order all counties to severely crack down on underworld forces and remove the soil for their breeding. Because the prefect was very interesting, he let the counties in the city and the city have all the cadres in the shares, and if he doesn't do anything for a year, the counties can also earn more than 100,000 taels of silver, so from the county order to the officials, they are willing to serve him; Of course, the most important thing is that because he linked the assessment to the bonus, no one dares to be ineffective!

As soon as the government was serious, the 'evil young heroes' were sad, seeing that their companions were caught from time to time, it became more and more difficult to mix, and several leading figures were at a loss...... Until the lovely Lu Xun press appeared, saying that he would carry out group training and practice martial arts to resist the Japanese.

The evil youth's eyes suddenly lit up, although they had no interest in 'practicing martial arts and fighting against the Japanese', but they were attracted by the 'group training', and the brothers all felt that this was a good opportunity to wash their hands - if they could give their illegal associations a legal coat, wouldn't they not have to be afraid of the government in the future?

As a result, the major criminal gangs in several neighboring counties, including Suzhou City, heard the news and all gathered in Wujiang County to sign up for the Suzhou group training. Lu Douyin patronized the completion of the indicators, who cares if the person who signed up is a good person...... Anyway, I'll be gone in two months, as long as there are no problems during this time.

Now the people of Wujiang are gone, and the people who were originally a good county town are now making a miasma, the crime rate has skyrocketed, and the people dare not go to the streets in broad daylight, do you say horror is not terrifying?

Tang County Ling couldn't do it anymore, and said in his heart: 'Okay, I have been holding on to law and order for so long, and let you stir up this peace, and directly turn Wujiang into the Valley of the Wicked." 'How can this work?' went to Lu Douyin and asked him to disband the group to practice, or change places to practice, anyway, don't stay in Wujiang.

Lu Douyin saw that the revolution was about to succeed, how could he give up lightly, so he played an official tone and used water grinding work, wanting to perfunctory him and let Tang County's order say all the good things, but it was useless.

The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention the Tang County Order? As soon as he was in a hurry, he let out the cruel words of 'asking the prefect to send troops over and forcibly dismiss the regiment for training', and after he returned, he also ordered the officials to arrest people and throw all those villains who made trouble on the street and bullied the common people into prison!

His vigorous and resolute hand made those 'evil young heroes' think that the government was really coming this time. Brother a few and a lot, since we already have one or two thousand people, then we are afraid of him a ball, it is better to go out and kill the generals, learn from Xu Hai, Ye Ma and the like, divide the gold in a big scale, and eat meat in a large piece, wouldn't it be happy?

So he immediately drank blood for an alliance, wiped his forehead with a white scarf, and that night he held a long knife and a giant axe, attacked the county government at night, broke the door, opened the prison door, released the prisoners, and went to find the hateful Tang County Order...... Fortunately, the county government is very large, and Tang County's order reacted quickly, and he has escaped over the wall with his wife, so he was not poisoned.

At this time, the 'evil youth' had officially evolved from the underworld to the rebels, and they were dominated by the excitement and set fire to the county government. Looking at the raging fire, a group of traitors continued to run rampant in the county, killing people and setting fires, arresting people and joining the gang...... At dawn, they found Lu Douyin, who was only wearing pajamas, in a latrine, and the poor Lu Xunzhi was so frightened that he shrank into a ball, and cried out repeatedly: "The good man spares his life......

On Tuesday, one of the bandit leaders, glared at the two subordinates who were holding Lu Douyin: "How dare you treat Lu Ye like this? Why don't you make amends? ”

The two subordinates hurriedly let go of Lu Douyin, kowtowed and slapped themselves, and apologized to him. That Tuesday, he brought brocade clothes again, draped them over Lu Douyin, and helped him to the highest chair and sat down.

Lu Douyin thought that he was going to be martyred, but who knew that he was actually regarded as a guest of honor, and he couldn't help but fall into a dream...... But what he didn't expect was that those wicked people actually wanted to make him the king!!

"What?" Lu Douyin smiled stiffly: "Let me be the ...... King? You guys are really joking. ”

"Be serious!" A group of villains threatened him: "Do we seem to be joking? ”

"It's not like ......" Lu Douyin shook his head again and again in fright: "What does it mean below, how can I be virtuous, and I am favored by all good men, it is really ...... Frightened, oh, flattered. ”

"Lu Ye doesn't need to panic." Tuesday said: "Our brothers are going to do something big, but they come from different places, there are more than a dozen gangs, large and small, and no one is convinced by whom...... Later, we planned to invite a highly respected person to be our chief leader," he said, patting Lu Douyin with his big hand, almost breaking up his small body, and said: "This candidate is none other than Lu Ye, right, brothers?" ”

"Yes!" A group of bandit leaders shouted.

"Come, let's kowtow to Lu Ye!" On Tuesday, he took dozens of big and small leaders and kowtowed to Lu Douyin several times, which can be regarded as worshipping the boss.

Yesterday, he was still an official of the imperial court, why did he become the leader of the anti-thieves after one night? This kind of change is really unacceptable to anyone, and Lu Douyin naturally refuses vigorously.

But the temper of the villain and the thief has always been very irritable, so someone rolled up his sleeves and carried a sharp knife and said, "Why, do you look down on us?" ”

"No, it'......s not," Lu Douyin was so frightened that he quickly changed his words: "I'm honored to ......"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately eased up, and Tuesday smiled happily: "Okay, isn't this the end?" Then he said to everyone: "Everyone, the day is about to dawn, we can't stay in the city any longer, otherwise we will be arrested by the officials and soldiers." ”

When everyone heard this, they said, "Of course we have to go, but where are we going?" Someone proposed: "Go to sea to find Xu Hai to join the gang?" ”

"Stupid, how many counties do you have to pass through from Wujiang to the sea? And Songjiang Mansion, with our little people, how many can be left to the beach? Tuesday said: "So you can't go to the beach, at least not now." ”

"So where are we going?"

"Taihu Lake is thousands of miles wide, and there are many islands on the lake, which is suitable for learning that water and Liangshan, and the mountain is the king. And it's on the edge of the Wujiang River, just a sliding step," Tuesday said: "Let's go there first to build a foundation, and when our foundation is stable and the limelight has passed, it's not too late to contact Xu Hai...... When the time comes, we will take down Suzhou City and be Zhang Shicheng again. He is obviously always thinking about the future, and there are few anti-thieves like this, and he usually becomes the boss of the anti-thieves - the big anti-thief.

Everyone was quite moved by what was said, and nodded one after another: "Just do as you say!" ”

Tuesday asked Lu Douyin with a smile: "What does the king think?" ”

"Oh......" Lu Douyin is not a fool, he can see that this Tuesday is a character, where do you dare to say more? He comforted himself: 'Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood', then nodded and said, "It makes sense......"

"The king ordered, go!" Tuesday shouted the order.

At dawn, the satisfied thieves, carrying the large bags and small bags they had snatched, surrounded their 'king', left Wujiang City from the west gate, and fled into Taihu Lake in a boat that came out of nowhere.

When Shen Mo and Qi Jiguang's troops arrived at Wujiang, many fires in the city had been spontaneously extinguished by the common people...... What is pitiful is that because the time of the riot is too short, this riot is mainly focused on revenge against the government, and the damage to the people is not too great.

However, the mood of silence could not be relaxed at all: the Wujiang County government was burned to the ground, the county's silver and grain depots were looted, and nearly 20 officials from the county order were killed or killed...... These alone are enough for him, the prefect of Suzhou, to drink a pot.

Fortunately, at dusk, Tang Xian Ling himself appeared, wearing ordinary people's clothes, and his face was also smeared with thick pot bottom ash. As soon as he saw the silence, he howled and cried: "My lord, you can count as coming, but you want to save the lowly position...... "The officials of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of martial arts, have the responsibility of defending the land, and now he has lost the city and land, but it is a capital crime that implicates the whole family!"

Shen Mo said with a gloomy face: "Don't cry, with me, you can't die." Only then did Tang County's mood stabilize a little, and he told Shen Mo what had happened.

"How do you feel?" Silently asked Qi Jiguang beside him.

"Strange." Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "Since it is a rabble, how can it be so self-disciplined? ”

"Yes, those people neither let go of looting, nor occupied the county seat for a long time, but just looted the grain and silver in the warehouse, and then evacuated Wujiang." Shen nodded silently and said, "Judging by what he did, it does mean something like an army...... At least the backbone of it is very disciplined. ”

"What do you mean," that Tang County ordered Tang Di, only then did he understand: "They were premeditated? ”

"Of course," Shen Mo bowed his head and said: "Killing officials and rebelling is not a trick, if it is really just a temporary idea, it will never be so straightforward." ”

"That's ...... Who did it? Tang Di asked, what he was most concerned about was this issue, because it was related to whether he could shirk responsibility.

"I don't know," Shen Mo shook his head and said, "As long as you plan in advance, anyone can be possible." He said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to discuss this, Tang County Order!" ”

"The lower official is here." Tang Di hurriedly bowed and said.

"Give you a chance to atone for your crimes," Shen Mo looked at the panicked faces and said, "Use the fastest time to restore Wujiang to its original state, so that the people can get rid of the panic." ”

"Yes." Tang Di responded: "This is a matter within the subordinate's responsibility. ”

"If you do a good job," Shen Mo said softly: "I will write in the report that a large number of Japanese invaders infiltrated Wujiang City in an attempt to capture the county government, and Tang County Commander led the people to resist to the death and held on until dawn, and the Japanese invaders fled the county seat and fled into Taihu Lake. ”

"Master Xie......" Tang Di said gratefully, so that his crime of losing the city was covered up lightly. Although he knew that silence was also for himself to make less trouble, Tang Di was still very moved.

"General Qi!" Silence continued.

"The end will be." Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice.

"You follow me in pursuit of the thief." He said in a deep voice: "Try your best to save Lu Xunji." ”

"Yes!"

The Taihu Lake bandits, which were not dangerous but very troublesome, began, and sure enough, as said on Tuesday, thousands of miles of Zhenze and the islands were scattered, giving the traitors the best cover and the largest space, so that Qi Jiguang and Shen Mo's work made little progress. While they were racking their brains to find a solution to their dilemma, an even bigger crisis was looming over the city of Suzhou...... Back half a month, when the news that Yu Dayou was dismissed and escorted to Beijing reached the ears of Xu Hai, who was entrenched on the island of the East China Sea. Sure enough, as Yu Dayou expected, Xu Hai was very excited to get the news, and laughed at the people around him: "I can finally eat this fat sheep in Suzhou!" ”

He immediately convened a meeting at the highest level to plan the looting of Suzhou, and the participants were his partners Ye Ma and Xin Wulang, his own brother Xu Hong, and his brother-in-law Liang Shan, a total of five.

Everyone expressed great interest in this proposal and quickly decided to do it...... But the problem is that although Yu Dayou is gone, the Yu family army that he has worked hard to manage is still all there, if it is to plunder the coast, you can do it and leave, then no matter how many enemies there are, you are not afraid, but Suzhou City is inland, and there is Songjiang Mansion as a barrier.

Not to mention that Wang Chonggu, the prefect of Songjiang, is also a powerful character, just saying that he has to go ashore and pass through several counties to reach the city of Suzhou, which makes Xu Hai scratch his head very much...... He still remembers the 'Battle of Wangjiangjing' that almost lost his surname, that time because of paralysis and underestimation of the enemy, rashly marched inland, and as a result, the Ming army made dumplings in favorable terrain, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army.

Therefore, over the years, he has been adhering to the principle of 'coming and going like the wind', and only plundering along the coasts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian to maintain a state where he can flee for his life at any time, so invincible, making the Ming army even more unable to deal with it. For a time, Xu Hai's reputation as 'General Pinghai' became famous, as if he was a sea overlord.

The victories made Xu Hai's appetite bigger and bigger, and he was no longer satisfied with a small fight on the coast, this time he wanted to play a big game! Gather all your strength to fight Suzhou! Of course, out of his usual caution, he decided to find an alliance and attack together.

Naturally, he won't look for Wang Zhi, he knows that the old thing is lost in the same ban on opening the sea, and now he is going to rob the fruits of his labor, where can he still greet him?

He was looking for his allies, the tens of thousands of people in Osumi and Satsuma Island, plus his descendants, as well as all the troops of Ye Ma and Xin Goro, totaling more than 30,000 people...... This is already the limit of his ability to mobilize strength, although it is not enough to see compared to Wang Zhi, but it is indeed not something that the Ming army can resist head-on.

Betting all the capital, Xu Hai had to be cautious, he spent a few days, formulated a careful battle plan, at the beginning of the campaign, he will send the army to attack the well-defended eastern Zhejiang area, in as many places as possible, at the same time to launch an attack, in order to disturb the judgment of the Ming army, when the Ming army is sure that his target this time is Zhejiang, he will lead the main force, kill a horse gun, go straight to Suzhou City, will definitely be a success!

According to convention, the true wolf has always been used to fight tough battles and gnaw bones; As for the easy and comfortable robbery work, it is the task of Xu Hai's fake widows, and this time is naturally no exception.

In order to fool the 10,000 true widows and be able to resist Hu Zongxian for him desperately, Xu Hai was clever and wrote blank checks...... He said that he was powerful and the main force, so he should face the most powerful Ming army, and only in this way can he reflect the fearlessness of the spirit of bushido!

Those daimyo who followed him to rob were accustomed to hearing rumors about how unbearable the Ming army was, and they had no objection to the task assigned by Xu Hai, what they cared about was: "Xu Sang, how much money can we get?" ”

"Half of us, half of you, of course!" Xu Hai said very generously. But he sneered in his heart, how much stronger is it, I still have the final say?

Those real widows trusted him very much, so they happily took over this errand of carrying the black pot and blocking bullets, and shouted that they wanted the Ming army to see how powerful they were to say this samurai.

So one day in mid-February, Xu Hai led his unprecedented army to the mainland. Looking at the fleet that covered the sky, Xu Hai's pride increased greatly, and he said to the people around him: "After this battle, I will replace Wang Zhi and become the overlord of the sea!" ”

Everyone echoed and desperately touted it...... It's just that compared with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, their vocabulary is still too scarce, and it is 'you too powerful!' over and over again. ''That's amazing!'' I'm afraid he's the only one, and I think it sounds like it's enjoyable.
