Chapter 944: Think long-term
Chapter 944 takes a long-term view.
When they returned to the barracks, it was already late, and many soldiers had already entered their dreams, and there were one or two hundred people guarding there, and when they saw Ye Xing and the others coming back, they immediately greeted them.
After Ye Xing instructed those people to return the food to those people, he and Hua Zhimeng Mu Xin came to their own military camp, and after everyone sat down, Hua Zhimeng asked: "You don't let us rest so late, call us here, is there something to discuss?" ”
Ye Xing nodded: "That's true, now we know from the population of Dongying Lang that in this coastal area, there are about 20,000 Dongying soldiers, but we only have 10,000 in our hands, if we fight with them, I am afraid that we will suffer." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, those Dongying people were by no means easy to mess with, their knives were long and narrow, and their Ming knives were difficult to crack.
"Then what does Big Brother Ye want to do?" Di Xiaojie asked with interest.
Ye Xing thought about it carefully and said: "We have to think about it in the long run, didn't that Dongying Lang man say that they have 10,000 people on land and another 10,000 people on the island, we can split and attack them, first deal with the 10,000 people on the land, and then attack the island." ”
Everyone listened like this, but there was worry in their hearts, there should be no problem in solving the 10,000 Dongying soldiers on the land, the key is that the 10,000 soldiers on the knife are difficult to deal with, now they are new here, they don't even have a ship, and there are ships to attack the island, if they wait for the ship to be built and then attack, wouldn't it be too late, and they have already run away or think of countermeasures to deal with them.
This is a difficult road, everyone thinks like this, they are a little regretful, if Zheng He is how good it is, there are more than 20,000 people on his ship, and there are Hongwu cannons, if he is there, it is easy to deal with these Dongying soldiers.
It's a pity that Zheng He is on a trip to the West at this time, and he has no time to look east, so to deal with these Dongying soldiers, everything must rely on themselves.
After everyone had discussed this, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, after everyone got up early, they immediately set off for Fuzhou, because that place was the most densely populated place of Japanese robbers, and it was also the location of the 10,000 Dongying soldiers.
At this time, the people of Fuzhou were already in dire straits, and in order to understand the specific situation in Fuzhou, Ye Xing sent a large number of spies to investigate, because for Ye Xing, intelligence was very important.
After about two hours, the spies sent out had returned, and they were all masters of finding out the news, and besides, the news of Fuzhou was not a secret.
"What news have you found?" Ye Xing looked at the spy and asked.
The spy sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then replied: "It is true that there are more than 10,000 Dongying soldiers camped in Fuzhou, they robbed Fuzhou and the surrounding towns, and then transported the things from the guns to the sea and transported them back to their country, but their life is not very easy, because there are many civil organizations in Fuzhou, and they can't bear to have their homes destroyed by the Dongying people, so many of them have gathered to fight against those Dongying people. Ding Chong, the king of the Eastern Dragon. But ......" The spy hesitated at the end.
Seeing the spy like this, Ye Xing asked, "What's the matter, but it's okay to say it!" ”
With Ye Xing's orders, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Liang Dou, the prefect of Fuzhou, is also a team of anti-Japanese people, but he and the Western Dragon King and the Eastern Dragon King Ding Chong often clash, the specific reason is that Liang Dou can't look down on these non-governmental organizations, and is afraid that after they develop and grow, they will affect the society of the Ming Dynasty." ”
After listening to the words of the spies, Ye Xing has fully understood, no matter which dynasty, they don't like the civil organization to be too strong, because if the civil organization is strong, it is possible to rebel, but now they are all going to fight against the Dongying people, everything should be based on the overall situation, and the outside must first be peaceful, but it must not be too radical.
After getting these news, Ye Xing and the others accelerated their trip, striving to rush to Fuzhou at noon.
More than 10,000 people walked not very fast, but no matter what, they still arrived in Fuzhou at noon, when they arrived in Fuzhou, Fuzhou prefect Liang Dou had already taken his men to wait at the city gate, Liang Dou was a big and three thick people, it seems that he is also a practitioner, after he received Ye Xing, he hurriedly invited Ye Xing and others to the post house in the city, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by Ye Xing were stationed within the moat, outside the city gate.
Entering the wisdom of the post house, Liang Dou hurriedly kowtowed and said: "I am looking forward to the humble position day and night, and finally the King of Daming is here. ”
Ye Xing did not express his dissatisfaction with Liang Dou's compliment, he invited Liang Dou to sit down, and then asked: "This king has just arrived, and there are some things that need to be consulted by the prefect, I heard that Lord Liang also organized people to fight against the Japanese invaders, I don't know how effective it is?" ”
Liang Dou's brain was sweating, and his heart was extremely contradictory, if he said that the effect was effective, it was not nothing, but those Japanese were still rampant, how did he answer, Liang Dou thought about it, and finally said: "The lowly duty has strengthened a lot of security at the city gate, and organized an assault rescue team, if there is a Japanese attack there, they will immediately rush to the rescue, these measures of the lowly office are aimed at protecting the people of Fuzhou, and there is no intention to fight against those Japanese robbers, mainly because I have not many soldiers and horses available in the Fuzhou barracks!" ”
What Liang Dou said is also the truth, Ye Xing naturally knows, each dynasty does not allow local officials to have too much military power, so how many soldiers should accompany each place are customized, Liang Dou does not dare to recruit soldiers without soldiers in his hands, these are normal situations, Ye Xing does not blame him, and Liang Dou can stop an assault rescue team, which is also a very good idea, at least if the rescue is timely, it can ensure the safety of many people.
After listening to Liang Dou's words, Ye Xing nodded slightly in agreement, and then said, "How did those Japanese robbers harass the people of Fuzhou?" ”
Being asked like this, Liang Dou's head was big, but he still had to answer, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Like the small towns and villages in Fuzhou, those Japanese robbers all sent people to attack directly, and in a big place like Fuzhou with a city gate, they all carried out surprise attacks, or sneaked in at night, robbed a few large households, and then left quickly, which made people a little unguardable!" After Liang Dou finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
