Wang Chen drank a large pot of gruel, burped comfortably, and his face regained his blood color, Tang Yi wanted him to rest for a while, Wang Chen shook his head.

"If you don't say it, it's like a bone stuck in your throat, and you don't vomit or feel unhappy." Wang Chen said: "The old man didn't dare to say that he was like a god with soldiers, and he was forced to this field by the Japanese robbers, and he was ashamed to die. ”

Wang Chen looked up at the sky, tears crackled and fell, it's not that the old man loves to cry, it's really too embarrassing......

Since serving as the governor, Wang Chen has shown his strength and reorganized military affairs, first using Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan, two fierce generals, and then he spared no expense to give the soldiers sufficient salaries and silver to boost morale.

Although the Ming army is a dish, as the saying goes, one soldier will be a nest. With the right generals, it is not far off, Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan fought continuously with the Japanese Kou, and with the arrival of the wolf soldiers, the balance of victory began to favor Wang Chen's side.

Especially last year's victory on the sandbank, it was an amazing boost to the morale of the Ming army, Lu Bo led the army, came to Zhejiang, which was equivalent to giving Wang Chen another shot in the arm, becoming like a tiger with wings.

After thinking about it, Wang Chen decided to launch an active counterattack and destroy the nest of the widows on the sea.

He first vigorously supported Yu Dayou to train sailors and build ships, and in addition, he hoarded food and wages, scattered his fierce generals, and counterattacked the Japanese invaders, forcing them to retreat to the sea.

After more than half a year of tossing, everything is finally ready.

Wang Chen concentrated 2,000 sailors and more than 300 warships, and the army was led by Lu Bo and Tang Kekuan, totaling more than 5,000 people, concentrated in Zhenhai and waited for the opportunity. It just so happened that the traitor who bought it informed the pirate leader Wang Zhi, and his cadres were all in Zhoushan. Wang Chen immediately made a decision, and the waterways were all out to launch an offensive to cross the sea.

Yu Dayou deserves to be a tiger general. He took advantage of the night to kill Zhoushan, Lu Bo and Tang Kekuan followed closely, and when they arrived on the island, they stormed the nest of the Japanese invaders, fought for more than half a day, and killed more than 500 Japanese people. And the rest of the wharves were scattered as birds and beasts. Wang Zhi commanded his men to fight against them, but they were defeated.

Wang Zhi was in a hurry, escaped by boat, Yu Dayou was unwilling, and continued to send ships to chase after him, chasing him for a day and a night, and he was about to talk about Wang Zhi, but unfortunately he encountered a storm, and the pursuing ship lost its target. The pirate leader narrowly escaped from danger.

Although the king ran away, he still killed seven or eight hundred Japanese robbers and captured a lot of supplies, which was an out-and-out victory. In order to prevent the recurrence of the Japanese invaders, Yu Dayou also commanded his subordinates to destroy the Japanese nest in Zhoushan.

Until now, it is still being staged according to Wang Chen's script. But suddenly the style of painting changed. A group of more than 3,000 people suddenly appeared to the south of Zhenhai. Launch a fierce attack on Zhenhae. Wang Chen's side was less than 1,000 people, and he hurriedly met the battle, but was beaten to the ground.

Wang Chen had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat, but the other party was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, biting to death and not letting go. Split into two ways to pursue Wang Chen, and at the same time sent their sailors to intercept and kill Yu Dayou's subordinates. Prevent the Ming army in Putuo from coming back.

At first, Wang Chen fought and left, and he didn't take it seriously, no matter how many Japanese people there were, they couldn't compare to the people and horses in Zhejiang, and everyone spat at the mouth. You can drown the pirates.

He led the men and horses to retreat to Longshan, and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese invaders, fighting for two days in a row, killing at least more than 300 Japanese invaders, and the city also suffered heavy losses, Wang Chen's people around him were less than 400, and they had exhausted their ammunition. Wang Chen felt completely bad at this time.

As a governor, he was about the comfort of the southeast, he was attacked by the Japanese bandits, and it was too strange that people from all walks of life did not come to the rescue. Wang Chen was angry, and at the same time knew that it was hopeless to hold on, so he could only lead the men and horses out of Longshan. The Wako continued to pursue him to the death, and he escaped into the area of Shigong Mountain, relying on the dense forest to deal with the Wako.

But the more his subordinates died, after two days of fierce fighting, Wang Chen only had less than 100 people left, and the Japanese saw that he was the end of the crossbow, and divided more than 500 people, continued to attack, and even eliminated Wang Chen. The rest of the pirates scattered and plundered everywhere to make up for the losses caused by the hard fighting for days.

Maybe God made a joke with the wolf and helped Wang Zhi escape, and he would not sit idly by and watch Wang Chen's death, Tang Yi sent a ghost to the gods, and ran with wolf soldiers to relieve the siege and save Wang Chen.

After counting, there are only sixty-seven people left around Wang Chen, it is worth mentioning that Tian San, he was reused by Wang Chen, and stayed by his side, Tian San led the crowd to fight hard in the past few days, and there were more than ten major injuries and minor injuries on his body, almost dying, but Wang Chen was safe and sound. By the time the wolf soldiers found Tian San, he was already dying.

The soldiers carried him out, and when they saw Wang Chen and Tang Yi, Tian San grinned, and without saying a word, he passed out.

Tang Yi roared loudly: "Save people, no matter what, you have to save people!" ”

The doctor carried Tian San down for treatment, Wang Chen's face turned red, he sat on the bluestone, suddenly slapped himself, and slapped himself twice.

"It's a shame that the old man prides himself on being a soldier, and I don't know why he was defeated, I don't have the face to live in the world." Wang Chen said that he was about to draw his sword and kill himself, but Tang Yi was frightened, he and Hu Zongxian hugged Wang Chen, and after a long persuasion, he snatched the sword down.

At this time, Peng Yinan came back one after another with people and horses, and the big guys were more or less tied to their waists, with blood-drenched heads, staring at them, so that they were not scary.

Hu Zongxian appreciated the demeanor of these people, and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xingzhi, you take care of the governor, I will clean up the battlefield and give credit to the soldiers." ”

Hu Zongxian turned around to leave, Tang Yi hurriedly walked up to Wang Chen, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, you have also worked hard for many days, go and rest." ”

Stretching out his hand to help, Wang Chen did not move, and his eyes were full of blood-red light.

"Okay, you are resourceful and help your uncle solve his doubts, why did I fall to this point, could it be that everyone betrayed his relatives? I can't figure it out, let alone sleep, I even have the heart to die. ”

Tang Yi let out a long sigh, he was constantly thinking on the way here, and now that Wang Chen asked, he had to say.

"Uncle, after you arrived in Zhejiang, you took a lot of anti-Japanese measures, strictly supervised the wealthy merchants and gentry who were in the coastal area, built fortresses, beacon towers, widely distributed spies, and probed the truth of the Japanese invaders. At the same time, the whole army was reorganized, and fierce generals were selected, and the army in the southeast was revitalized, so that it won successive victories against the Japanese. I don't know if my nephew's summary is still comprehensive? ”

Wang Chen nodded, "Although it's not near or far, do you think there is something wrong with what the old man did?" ”

"Uncle, let me say something unkind, you only know how to resist the Japanese, these measures are all correct from the perspective of anti-Japanese, but from other angles, they may not be!"

Strictly investigating the gentry, building castles, and building beacon towers are tantamount to cutting off the smuggling channels of the Fujian and Zhejiang clans and cutting off their huge profits at sea.

Moreover, the cost of large-scale construction is huge, and the taxes fall on the large households.

The most fatal thing is that Wang Chen actually attacked the nests of the widows on the sea, you must know that these nests are large and small maritime trade transit stations.

Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing their parents, how can the bold maritime merchant clan not fight back. During this period of time, there have been people who have used the excuse of Wang Chen's large-scale construction projects, attacking him for working the people and money, practicing the navy, and violating the ancestral system.

In the face of impeachment, Wang Chen only thought that someone had nothing to do, and did not think much about it.

This time, he concentrated all his strength and aimed the spearhead at Putuo and the king of pirates. If Wang Chen really succeeds, the Japanese in the southeast will lose their leader, and they may really be able to calm down for a while.

But someone couldn't stand it anymore, and they shot!

Tang Yi looked up at the sky and said lightly: "Uncle, do you remember Zhu Kun?" ”

Rumble!

A sharp flash exploded in his brain, and Wang Chen's face instantly turned pale.

As mentioned above, Zhu Kun is Wang Chen's predecessor, who supervised the military affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang coastal defense, and has great authority in his hands. After taking office, he found that the vast majority of the so-called Japanese pirates were Han people along the coast, who disguised themselves as pirates and plundered on a rampage.

Zhu Kun immediately took a-for-tat confrontation, adopted a strict system of defending armor and sitting together, reorganized coastal defense, strengthened armaments, concentrated troops, and smashed the nests of the Japanese at sea.

How about it, it looks very familiar, Wang Chen's measures are so similar to Zhu Kun's!

It's just that Zhu Kun's fate is really bad, after the First World War, he captured the Japanese head Li Guangtou and others, and beheaded them together, and there were even officials who impeached Zhu Kun for killing without permission, was arrested and imprisoned, and Zhu Kun committed suicide in prison. He left a cold and piercing sentence: "If the Son of Heaven doesn't want me to die, the people of Fujian and Zhejiang will kill me." I die, self-determination, no one is needed. ”

Thinking of this bloody lesson, Wang Chen's whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and in all directions, wind swords, frost swords, shot together, stabbing him into a sieve.

After a while, Wang Chen sighed: "Okay, could it be that the old man also wants to follow Zhu Kun's old path?" ”

"No, it won't." Tang Yi said decisively: "Uncle, the court is not stupid, and Your Majesty is not confused, a Zhu Su has died in vain, how can he be the second time?" It's just that the overall situation of the southeast anti-Japanese situation will be completely adjusted. ”

The implication is that your set doesn't work, and you have to change your course.

"The so-called Japanese coin is an economic problem, and when it comes to the root cause, it is how we look at the ocean in front of us." Tang Yi stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the east from afar, sniffing the fishy smell in the air, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Threats come from the sea, and so does wealth. We don't face the ocean, and the ocean will face us. The real struggle behind the rebellion was the contest between the conservative maritime ban faction and the radical maritime faction. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, it has nothing to do with honesty and corruption, even if a clean official like Bao Zheng goes to the southeast, he doesn't follow the trend, and he can only be broken. ”

The ruthless truth was unreservedly placed in front of Wang Chen, and he finally understood why the Japanese came so coincidentally, and why no one was willing to save him, because there was a group of monsters that survived on the sea, they parasitized among the gentry in the southeast, and even had inextricable links with their Wang family, and these people let him die!

"Understood, finally understood!" Wang Chen laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity that I don't have a beard as well as a child." Okay, uncle has one thing to ask you, be sure to promise me! Wang Chen stared at Tang Yi with burning eyes, and he didn't allow him to refute at all. (To be continued.) )
