Duan Fei planned to sacrifice prisoners along the route of Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou, and then sent Jinyi Wei to escort along the road, and sent Zongshe and other Japanese robbers to Beijing, and offered prisoners to Zhengde. The people of Suzhou who had already been ready to give advice to Lord Qincha or those who came from other places to offer advice had offered their prepared things on the spot, including people that Duan Fei recognized, such as the ancestor of the Liu family's shop personally brought his son and grandson to Duan Fei to present the tricks they had researched, which might be useful when dealing with the Japanese invaders, and they also announced in public that they would donate a thousand iron and steel knives, which was tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The quality of the things made by the Liu family's shop is naturally extremely exquisite, but after Duan Fei personally saw it, he said to the three generations of skilled craftsmen of the Liu family: "Old Liu, these knives have been accepted by the official, these tricks...... It is used for assassination and the battle of the rivers and lakes, it is of little use in the war, and it is time-consuming and expensive to build, and it is not suitable for promotion, Liu Lao, now is the era of alternating cold weapons and hot weapons, and firearms will sooner or later replace knives and guns as the main weapons on the battlefield, you skilled craftsmen must catch up with the trend of the times, Huaming, you take Liu Lao and them to visit the firearms we brought, Liu Lao Ben should know that what the official said is true, a large part of those things are built by craftsmen from the northern school. ”

With a curious and competitive mentality, Liu Lao took his children and grandchildren and followed Hua Ming, Duan Fei saw that the number of people who came to offer advice was decreasing, and he was about to follow, when suddenly a child's voice screamed in the crowd: "Adult, wait a minute, I have a wonderful plan to give to the adult in person, please wait!" ”

Listening to the sharpness of the voice, the person who spoke was estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old, and it was the first time that such a young child had come to offer advice, Duan Fei turned around curiously and looked at the place where the voice came from.

I saw the crowd get out of the way, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child pulled an old man with a blind left eye out of the crowd and walked towards Duan Fei, and was finally stopped by Jin Niu Wei, the child waved to Duan Fei in a proper manner, and said: "My lord, the kid is Zheng Ruozeng, a native of Kunshan County, Suzhou, this is my old Xi Qiuchan, we are here to offer anti-Japanese measures to adults." ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Oh, I see, I thought you would be able to offer advice to this official at a young age, Elder Xi, what strategies do you have to prevent the Japanese?" ”

Xi Qiuchan suddenly knelt down to Duan Fei and knocked his head three times before saying, "Please forgive the sinful people for their past mistakes, so that the villain dares to offer the sinners the anti-Japanese measures that the sinners have exchanged for their personal experience." ”

Hearing Xi Qiuchan's words, the people around him clamored, Duan Fei stared at Xi Qiuchan, and said with a dumb smile: "Okay, this official promises to forgive you for the crimes you committed in the past, but if your advice to this official is not enough to offset your past crimes, this official will still punish you according to the law, at most a light sentence, you can now say your precautionary measures in public." ”

Xi Qiuchan said: "My lord, the sinners used to be pirates when they were young, and they had dealings with the Japanese invaders, and they also went to the Japanese country, and the criminals knew very well about the Japanese and the coastal islands of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and the waterways. ”

Duan Fei nodded and said, "The experience gained from personal experience must be unique, you continue." ”

Xi Qiuchan said: "My lord, the Japanese often take advantage of the northeast wind and the northwest wind after the Qingming Dynasty and the northwest wind after the Chongyang Festival to invade the south of the Yangtze River. In Shaoxing, out of the Niche Mountain, Linshan, Guanhai, Sanjiang; In Ningbo, out of Dinghai, Changguo, Xiangshan; In Haimen, out of the new river, Songmen; In Wenzhou, out of Chumen, Panshi, Jinxiang, camping exercises, and the warships on the surface, such as the Japanese invaders sneaking into the sea, the sailors are scattered outside, and the land soldiers are scattered inside, taking advantage of their exhaustion and unpreparedness, annihilating them. At the end of May and October, the troops were withdrawn and returned to the country. This law should be passed through all provinces of Zhejiang, Guangfu, and each guard should watch over each other, and move the whole body with one trigger......"

Xi Qiuchan Kankan, only listened to a few words, Duan Fei had already been impressed by him, only to hear Xi Qiuchan finish talking about the land and offshore anti-Japanese strategies, and said: "What the criminals said just now is just a strategy, in fact, the key to preventing Japanese is to investigate the enemy thousands of miles away, and resist the enemy on the sea, for the coastal defense of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, because of the construction of a triple defense line on the sea, that is, it will be outposted on Chenqian Island, and divided into Maji, Yangshan, Putuo, and Daqu, which is the first heavy; out of Shenjiamen Port and Horse Tomb Port are the second; The Commander-in-Chief sent troops to garrison the sea as the third heavy. Yangshan is the upstream of the Susong Imperial Wahai Road, the Zhoushan Mountains are the Pinghan of the two Zhejiang, and the Chongming Zhusha is the Pinghan of the Three Wu. Dinghai overseas mountains, Zhoushan is the largest. Dinghai is the gateway of Ning and Shao, and Zhoushan is outside Dinghai, and keeping Zhoushan is particularly critical for Ningshao and even Zhejiang......"

"Enough, Old Xi, are you really a pirate? It can't be that you can't read and fall into the grass, right? Duan Fei said in surprise.

Xi Qiuchan said respectfully: "The sinners don't learn and have no skills, and they end up in Haikou if they don't succeed in business, and what they just said is dictated by the sinners, and the children around him summarize it for the sinners and read it to the sinners. ”

Duan Fei happily looked at Xi Qiuchan and Zheng Ruozeng, and said: "The two of you are the biggest harvest since the official collected the anti-Japanese strategy, please follow the official back to Qin, and the official will have a good discussion with you to discuss the preparation strategy." ”

Xi Qiuchan and Zheng Ruozeng are indeed Duan Fei's biggest gains since the public solicitation of anti-Japanese strategies, in fact, he doesn't know that this child Zheng Ruozeng is really great in the future, he is the first person in Chinese history to have a sense of coastal defense, if Emperor Jiajing can support the 50 "coastal defense regulations" he wrote later, then the Ming Dynasty will be able to build the Great Wall on the sea and protect the Ming Dynasty for eternity. Zheng Ruozeng was the planner of the Great Wall of the Sea in ancient history. In the case of his own personal experience and extensive investigation of ancient books, he wrote the "Preparation of the Sea Atlas", "The Diagram of the Needle Path" and other books, including 10 articles of "admonishment to the generals", 56 articles of "marching moderation", 4 articles of "applying for coastal defense matters", 4 articles of "prohibiting reform matters", etc., which played an important role in the prevention of Japanese in the late Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty died, and the Qing Dynasty continued to close the country, Zheng Ruozeng's hard work was finally in vain, and even his name was forgotten by the world.
