Chapter 745: A Great Victory
The widow in the distance couldn't understand the footprints on the ground, and walked around a hundred paces, but he never got close to Chang Wei and the others, so Yan Ruyu and Qingluan seized the time to adjust their internal breath, in order to restore the depleted internal force as soon as possible. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yu Piaoling didn't make much effort when he broke through the East Road thieves, and at this moment he protected the Fa for the two of them, and this internal force was nothing to Chang Wei, so he was responsible for guarding.
When the second girl's strength had just recovered three percent of her internal strength, she heard a few loud noises suddenly from the northeast, and the roar reverberated between the east and west mountains, which suddenly woke them up.
"Could it be that Lao He has also been discovered?"
Chang Wei felt nervous in his heart, and the sound in the distance was getting denser and denser.
Listening a little, Chang Wei jumped up to the treetops, looked to the northeast, there was nothing to do in the east mountain, from the first loud noise to the current tea, the wharf was already on fire, and then look at the sea outside the wharf, next to a burning warship, faintly visible the shadows of several warships, look at the style of those warships, it is actually the main ship of the Daming Navy, Cangshan Iron!
"Yes...... Heejue?!"
Chang Wei couldn't believe his eyes, he was extremely lucky to be blown to Okita's lair by the wind, how could Fu Zhouzi find this place, even faster than Okita?!
"It's the boat we are going to fight the Japanese camp!"
Then Yu Piaoling, who came up, also saw the situation on the sea clearly, and shouted excitedly, before the words fell, but heard a burst of chirping from the mountain, and looked back, but saw a few widows also standing on the treetops in the distance, and heard Yu Piaoling's cry, so he pointed at them and shouted.
Yu Piaoling naturally didn't have a trace of fear, and made a strange face at the thieves, and then followed Chang Wei and the three of them to the west, and those thieves had no intention of entanglement with them, whistled, and went straight to the village.
Getting rid of the pirates, the four of them packed their bags and ran towards the pier, less than a mile away from the pier, before stopping.
In the light of the fire, the ships on the sea have been clearly seen, roughly counted, there are eleven or twelve Cangshan Tie, I think it must be Fu Zhouzi after receiving the information, borrowed the ship from Guanhaiwei.
And he seemed to have obtained some secret weapon in Guanhaiwei, as soon as the cannonball shot from the Cangshan iron fell to the ground, a huge flame immediately ignited, and the dock was already a sea of fire, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burnt human flesh.
Chang Wei carefully identified it, but found that there were only two Cangshan Iron ships belonging to the anti-Japanese battalion mixed in the formation, and he immediately understood in his heart that Fu Zhouzi must be attacking the dock openly on the one hand, and secretly crossing Chencang on the other hand, smuggling the main force of the anti-Japanese battalion ashore, intending to catch the Japanese by surprise.
Except for the wharf, there was only one target left in the village, so Chang Wei took the three girls through the swamp again and headed towards the village.
On the way, he heard a row of muskets in the middle of the dock and the village, and a group of men and horses suddenly killed from the northeast as expected, and went straight to the flank of the defense line composed of the thieves who escaped from the dock, and the general led by it was Wu Siming.
I saw that he was flying like a horse, with no missing bows and arrows in his hand, and the muskets and bows and arrows in the hands of dozens of archers behind him fired volleys in turn, which actually rushed the defense line of the Japanese in a mess, and still rushed out of the village dozens of Japanese thieves to respond, only to escort this group of stragglers into the stockade, and then close the gate of the village.
Wu Siming charged several times, but was repelled by the Japanese Kou Yizhai with a Japanese gun, leaving more than a dozen corpses of Ming soldiers in front of the village, Wu Siming was also injured in many places, but he was high-spirited, and he did not retreat, and the battle situation was stalemate for a while.
"This guy is so brave!"
Chang Wei felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried. Seeing that the attention of the widows in the village was attracted by Wu Siming, he knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and he didn't have time to savor the emotion in his heart, so he quickly approached the village with the three daughters.
The side of the village near the swamp was already weakly defended, and at this moment there was no one to see, and the four of them easily infiltrated an empty house on the shore.
Chang Wei used a shout in the Japanese language to convey the wrong information, which greatly weakened the morale of the Japanese thieves, and at this time Fu Zhouzi led most of the men and horses had also arrived, and the defense line of the Japanese thieves completely collapsed, although the vast majority of the Japanese robbers were stubbornly resisting, and almost every house and every household had to fight a bloody battle, but the soldiers of the Japanese camp fought bravely one by one under the order of Fu Zhouzi to slaughter the village, and the number of people was several times that of the enemy, and they quickly controlled the entire village.
Chang Wei did not join the team of looting, and at the same time as Fu Zhouzi broke through the village, Yan Ruyu began to force a confession from a Japanese woman, and finally learned the residence of her doctor.
These belongings in front of him are by no means lost to the collection of Qingyutang, the largest pharmacy in Suzhou, Yu Piaoling cheered every time she found the medicinal materials needed for an antidote, and after a while, all kinds of medicinal materials were already piled up on the counter.
Chang Wei didn't say a word and ran into Fu Zhouzi, he saw Chang Wei suddenly moved with joy, urged the war horse to gallop over, flew off the horse without waiting for the horse to stand firm, hugged Chang Wei, and laughed: "I guess it's you who is making trouble in the village, sure enough!"
looked Chang Wei up and down carefully, punched him in the shoulder, and said, "There is no injury at all, it is really yours!"
Chang Wei's heart was hot, no wonder as soon as Fu Zhouzi arrived in front of the battle, the offensive of the Japanese camp suddenly became several times stronger, and there was even a taste of casualties, probably Fu Zhouzi didn't want his good brother to be hurt is an important reason.
Then he smiled and said, "Xijue, if you are too late, I will become a wild man on the nameless island!" and asked him how he found this place.
"Lihuabei!"
Fu Zhouzi explained, and Chang Wei knew that after he received the information, he had an extra heart, and seconded ten Cangshan Iron from Guanhaiwei, and rushed to Zhaobao Town by sea and land.
Knowing that Chang Wei had gone to sea to chase Okita, he immediately turned the bow of the ship and chased after him, inquired along the way, and roughly learned that Chang Wei's direction was in the direction of Dahengshan Island, so he chased at full speed.
It's just that the southwest wind of a day and a night blew them to the vicinity of the nameless island, originally just wanted to take the opportunity to go to Chen Qianshan Island to find out some news, and didn't want to see the distress flowers set off by the widows in the valley on the way, and came to take a look, only to find that this was Okita's old nest, Fu Zhouzi naturally would not let go, so he immediately launched an attack, only to find that it was unexpectedly easy.
"Those thieves were mobilized by you!"
"I can only say that these thieves cooperate well. ”
Chang Wei said with a smile: "Several generals of the Okita Group have gone to Ningbo, and there are no cadres at home who can really hold down the position. Then he recounted in detail everything that happened in Ningbo and on Nameless Island.
Speaking of Zhongfu, Fu Zhouzi couldn't help but be moved, but he listened to Chang Wei and Okita make peace, but he frowned, and when he saw that there was no one around, he told him not to spread this matter in the army, until he heard Chang Wei say that Yu Piaoling had poisoned the grain, he frowned and praised: "My brother and sister are very alert!"
As he spoke, there were several groups of soldiers who intended to break into the house, but they saw the main general of the battalion standing at the door and threw themselves elsewhere, Lao He also rushed back with the soldiers and threw themselves into the looting team together, and there was a woman's cry in the courtyard next to it, obviously the soldiers who had been holding back for several months had begun to vent their animal nature.
"Xijue, now is not the time to plunder the spoils of war,"
Chang Wei persuaded: "There are still dozens of Japanese robbers in the opposite valley, and Okita and his hundred elites may be killed back at any time......"
"I know it. Fu Zhouzi interrupted Chang Wei's words, patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
He just ordered the protection of the mansions of Okita and other major leaders, but he never mentioned the matter of restraining the troops, but instead entered the mansion and chatted with Yu Piaoling and Yan Ruyu.
Chang Wei let Qingluan detoxify here, and left a few henchmen to guard the house, and took Yan Ruyu and Yu Piaoling, who had changed their appearance and changed into military uniforms, and went straight to Chongtian's residence with Fu Zhouzi and He Chong.
At this time, the village had already become a hell on earth, not to mention that nearly 200 brothers had been killed in the street fighting in the extermination camp.
The streets were full of corpses with missing arms and heads, and the bluestone pavement was all blood-red, and the smell of blood mixed with the stench of feces and urine was disgusting.
Almost all the houses were wide open, and in each courtyard there were a dozen or twenty people gathered, either rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for valuable things, or forcibly taking captive women in broad daylight.
The only ones who still maintained military discipline were Fu Zhouzi's personal guards, who were in charge of escorting the prisoners, because they knew that they didn't need to burn and loot themselves, and their main general would definitely not treat them badly.
However, when the soldiers dragged the women back from the captive ranks, they mostly turned a blind eye.
When the true and cruel side of the war was revealed, Yu Piaoling's face turned pale with fright.
Passing by the team of captives with only women and children, looking at the women who were unclothed and their faces were stained with fishy liquid, Yu Piaoling couldn't help but show sympathetic eyes, perhaps it was this gaze that made the captives see the hope of life, and they all shouted loudly, half of the women, although the tone of the shouting sounded like the whole world, it was clearly the language of Middle-earth.
"Are they Han?!" Yu Piaoling exclaimed.
"They are traitors!" a guard glanced at Yu Piaoling strangely, she was so excited that she forgot to hide her voice, but when the guard saw Chang Wei's cold gaze, he turned his gaze and whipped a woman who was crying loudly on the back, and scolded: "You fucking have a face! Give birth to a fucking thief, you are not a traitor and who is a traitor?
Yu Piaoling wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chang Wei's stern gaze.
War, especially the war between two peoples, there is always only interests and no right or wrong, everyone who is related to the war, whether you want it or not, can only choose one of them, and the fate after that depends entirely on who is the winner, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain, how can there be so many justice and axioms at all!
Soon came to Okita's house, under the order of Fu Zhouzi's general, this small building was cleaned up, not blood stains on the ground, almost no traces of war, but as soon as you enter the courtyard, you can smell a smell of smoke and fire.
"What's going on?"
The guards in the courtyard were also Fu Zhouzi's own soldiers, and when they asked, they learned that Okita's wife and concubine knew that the village was going to be breached, so they wanted to burn all Okita's confidential documents and account books, and even wanted to burn themselves, but they were saved by the soldiers.
Knowing that everything was rescued, Chang Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, killing Okita is nothing, the key is to get these evidence, Chang Wei's real purpose is to take the opportunity to defeat several opponents.
Fu Zhouzi didn't stop for a moment, and rushed straight into the house.
Although for him, as long as Okita is exterminated, it is a great achievement, and Okita secretly communicates with whom, it is just the icing on the cake, whether there is or not, it is not a big deal, but he knows that this matter is extremely important to Chang Wei, and when he enters the house, he immediately asks about the few women who are tied up in the house.
The women immediately shouted and scolded, and two of the beautiful women in their twenties spoke Wu Nong's soft language, but the words were extremely intense, not only greeting Fu Zhouzi's eighteenth generation ancestors, but even several generations of emperors did not let go, and said that Zhengde was absurd, Jiajing was shameless, Wanli was greedy, and the apocalypse was mediocre, which caused their family to be ruined.
Thinking of Okita's elegant demeanor, there is indeed something attractive and life-saving, no wonder these two Han women follow each other in life and death, putting aside the hostile relationship, this exotic relationship is also quite touching.
Yan Ruyu and Yu Piaoling followed He Chong but looked around, He Chong was the number one master of the criminal department's detectives, and soon found many things that were quite hidden, but they were all jewelry and jade and the like, and those women just looked at it coldly, until he found a secret storage room under the tatami, and their faces changed color all of a sudden.
In addition to the letters and account books that Chang Wei expected, there were more treasures plundered by the Japanese for many years.
A row of neatly arranged golden ingots, estimated to be four or five hundred thousand taels, two boxes of extremely exquisite jewelry, six large black pearls of the South Seas, nearly 1,000 catties of Shan country's best jade, pepper spices and other sundries, more than 100 kinds of silver bills issued by millions of major Qian Zhuang Bao, roughly calculated that the value of these things is more than five million taels, this should be all the family of Okita, without these things, even if Okita can escape with his life, he will not be able to make a comeback.
When such a huge amount of wealth was placed in front of the few people who entered the secret room, perhaps Chang Wei was the only one who could still maintain a little sobriety, and Chang Wei was almost dazzled, and the three of them looked at each other for a long time, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"The general has an order, Okita's wife and concubine help to abuse him, and behead him for public display!"
Yan Ruyu's voice suddenly came from behind him, Fu Zhouzi was startled, and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by He Chong, so he heard him say thoughtfully to Chang Wei: "Brother, your daughter-in-law is really tight!"
However, Yu Piaoling let out an 'ah', and was also persuaded by Yan Ruyu in a low voice.
After a while, the soldiers came to report that they had cut off the heads of Okita's wife and four concubines, and asked where they were hanging?
Although Fu Zhouzi hesitated, he still gave an order: "His wife and concubine aided the abuse of the first evil, and the head was hung on the flagpole of the Zhaimen Gate to show the public." ”
Chang Wei had a smile on his face, and he also understood the choice of Fu Zhouzi and He Chong, and suddenly felt relaxed in his heart.
Just kidding, the ghost knows who will end up in the hands, the three people in this secret room are always kind, and if they have money, they have to do some good deeds, and they are worthy of the innocent people who were killed by Okita.
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
"It's the first time I've seen so much gold. He Chong touched the gold ingots and took the lead in breaking the silence: "I'm afraid I can build hundreds of Yizhuang!"
grabbed another handful of Nanzhu: "Since my old woman followed me, she didn't have a decent jewelry......
"Then hurry up and grab a few handfuls, these are for the brothers. Fu Zhouzi said with a smile.
Everyone understands that gold, jade, and pearls are quite heavy, and they are inconvenient to carry, so they can only be handed in, not to mention that if they don't find something of some weight from Okita's lair, Old Man Xu can't say anything about it.
The only things that can be divided are silver tickets and jewelry, Fu Zhouzi handed the two jewelry boxes to Chang Wei, and said: "Fearless, my younger sister Xue Qian is the God of Wealth, these should be able to be used." ”
Chang Wei would be polite, but he pushed back all the silver tickets handed by He Chong.
Handed over the jewelry box to Yan Ruyu and Yu Piaoling to take it away secretly, Fu Zhouzi called several leaders of the camp to suppress the Japanese camp, and looked at the room full of gold and jewelry, and all the generals were dumbfounded.
"It's not a secret, this dark room was discovered by Lord He Chong He of the Nanjing Criminal Department, but Lord He was very upright and gave this great credit to the anti-Japanese camp. ”
The generals heard that the little old man in front of him who was not amazing was He Chong, one of the four famous arresters of the Criminal Department, and hurriedly took back his greedy gaze, He Chong was fair and honest when he cleaned up the Jianghu sect in Suzhou, and the officialdom knew that he was there, and then thought about the name of his main general Fu Zhouzi and the errand of the five armies, it was impossible to make a big profit.
He Chong smiled and said: "Master Fu said that he laughed, this credit was earned by all the adults, once the field was destroyed, the lower officials would like to thank all the adults for the people of Nanzhi." ”
He paused, picked out a dozen southern pearls from the Hu and put them in his arms, and said with a smile: "If all the adults don't want to go, the lower officials will take a few beads and make the old woman smile!"
After that, Chong Changwei arched his hand and said with a smile: "Guogong, although you are the marching staff officer of the anti-Japanese camp, it is only a part-time job, and you have to go to the next pass to try the prisoners, and you have to bother the Guogong to help." ”
Looking at the generals who were already overjoyed, if it wasn't for Fu Zhouzi's scruples, He Chong's head would probably be gnawed away, and even Wu Siming, who had a look of vigilance after seeing Chang Wei, couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, but when he saw Chang Wei smiling instead of smiling, he was suddenly surprised, and the two completely different expressions converged together, which was extremely funny.
Half an hour later, when Chang Wei saw the generals again, everyone's faces were beaming.
Only then did Fu Zhouzi issue an order to assemble the team, and beheaded four soldiers who received the order but still played kung fu on the woman's belly and returned late, but the soldiers only had awe, and there were no complaints, and the anti-Japanese battalion was restored to a combat state and became a tiger and wolf division again.
According to the information of Chang Wei and He Chong, Fu Zhouzi sent Wu Siming, the Ma army under the jurisdiction of Gui Youcai, the rattan brand hand, and the bird knife and axe hand to destroy the Japanese on the side of the valley, and sent Zeng Liang and Zhang Lu to lead the sailors and the remaining 400 people of the bird knife and axe to go out to sea to ambush and prepare to deal with the returning Okita by boat, while Chang Wei and Fu Zhouzi took about 300 soldiers and about 300 archers who were badly damaged in the battle to respond in the center.
"It's late. ”
Yan Ruyu sighed softly behind Chang Wei, Chang Wei also felt the same way, but Fu Zhouzi smiled mysteriously, after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that killing everything is only a means used by politicians.
"Exterminating Okita" and "exterminating the Japanese invaders" are really two very different concepts.
This is similar to Chang Ping's "Destroying the Thief's Nest" and "Breaking the Thief's Nest" in Weishan Lake.
Sure enough, the valley over there was already empty, Wu and Gui returned empty-handed, but Zeng and Zhang Dayou were captured, and ten miles outside the nameless island, they intercepted two returning Japanese ships, and captured them without much effort.
When I got on the boat, I saw that seven or eight out of ten of the more than 100 Japanese soldiers had lost their combat effectiveness, but the five leaders had only captured one person, Tachibana Kansuke.
In addition to the Susuita Hayato who had been killed in the battle in Zhaobao Town, the three leaders of Okita, Kondo Matabei and Sakamoto Hatsuya disappeared at the same time, and their whereabouts, the little minions did not know at all, and Tachibana was extremely stubborn, and even He Chong could not open his mouth.
Yan Ruyu and Yu Piaoling were a little uneasy, for fear that Chang Wei and the Chang family would become the target of Okita's revenge, such a master with the ten great strengths of the rivers and lakes was secretly plotting against you, and it would be difficult for anyone to guard against it for a long time.
Chang Wei also vaguely felt in his heart that Okita had escaped this time, and he was likely to bring him great trouble in the future, and he could see the appearance of the two girls, but he had to pretend to be optimistic, and comforted them: "When Tachibana was captured, he was already dying, and he thought that Okita and they would not be much better, I am full of confidence in the secret poison of the Tang Sect, maybe they have already died of poison by this time!"
