Chapter four hundred and eighty second: Head-on attack

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

The little eunuch was trembling with trepidation: "My minister Wang Jingye, the magistrate of Taizhou, said: "There are more than four hundred Japanese pirates from overseas, who raided Ninghai County, Taizhou Prefecture, and Ninghai County. The people were ordered to suppress the bandits, to fight, and to defeat them. The bandits chased the officers and soldiers with more than 30 forces and lost more than 400 people. The boat left without a trace. "

"..."

This report really shocked everyone.

Japanese pirates attack.

And this time it was obviously a large-scale attack.

More than 400 Japanese pirates raided the Taizhou government, killing, raping and looting blatantly.

And Wang Jingye, the prefect of Taizhou, was obviously sad and angry. He sued the military guards stationed in Taizhou, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and fought with more than 400 Japanese pirates. Ten miles away, the pirates took advantage of this opportunity and continued to plunder until everyone was satisfied before leaving triumphantly.

Arrogant, too arrogant.

Emperor Hongzhi's veins popped out.

Because although the Japanese pirates were rampant in the past, they were not to such an extent.

I never thought that the Japanese guards had been corrupted to this point.

Liu Jian said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, this time, the bandits are very strong. I think it's probably because of the defeat of the Japanese in the Penglai Water Village last time. The Japanese captured two ships, which greatly increased the bandits. It also made the Japanese pirates see that I am lax in the Japanese defenses along the coast, so I dare to act so boldly, Your Majesty, this time, the imperial court was seen through by these rampant Japanese pirates."

Speaking of this, Liu Jian couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Jifan was also taken aback for a moment.

Because he remembered that during the Hongzhi Dynasty, Japanese pirates still did not dare to be so arrogant.

But this time the attack was too sudden, and the scale of the number of people far exceeded that of the past. Could it be...the butterfly effect was really caused by the defeat of the Penglai Navy?

Emperor Hongzhi was indifferent, and hammered the copy: "Japanese pirates are hateful, but they can be prepared for Japanese guards, so why not hate them? The imperial court supports them, which means to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, but who would have thought that they... are so unbearable one strike!"

Emperor Hongzhi hated it, hated that iron could not be made into steel.

Thinking of the Japanese pirates landing, as if entering no one's land, this... is simply a great shame.

Liu Jian was even more worried: "With the first time, let them taste the sweetness, there will be a second and third time..." Liu Jian frowned: "The old minister thinks this is more like a rehearsal. This time, although it was a looting, they didn't stay too long, so it can be seen that they may not be interested in the property that the Taizhou government can loot..."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes. He knew that Liu Jian was an important minister. Since he opened his mouth, it was definitely not groundless: "The Qing family means..."

Liu Jian said: "The old minister heard from His Majesty last time that the essence of Japanese pirates lies in smuggling. They colluded with some smuggling merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and they cooperated with each other. In the past, they didn't go ashore. I think it was because they could be fed by smuggling alone. Therefore, Although there are lone Japanese pirates making jokes, they will never premeditate any big action. After all, they are also afraid. It can’t be done, so...the minister is thinking, they must want to do a big thing, so that they can shake the court and the public, and want to show the court some color, this is revenge for His Majesty sending the Penglai Navy to suppress the Japanese."

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath. He knew very well that at this time, he should not be impatient. Emperor Hongzhi nodded slowly: "Liu Qing's family is right."

Liu Jian continued: "Thus, I think they will not give up. Since they have colluded with some smuggling merchants, these merchants have already penetrated every corner of Jiangnan. Since they are cooperating with Japanese pirates inside and outside, it is inevitable that they will have great influence on the southeast coast of Daming. The situation is well known. Since this is the case, they want to take revenge on Daming, where will they choose next time?"

Emperor Hongzhi's complexion became worse and worse, and he said lightly: "I have ordered the Penglai Water Village and Ningbo Water Village to suppress the Japanese. The Penglai Water Village has been defeated by the Japanese pirates, so the next one..."

"That's right." Liu Jian took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi, and then at Fang Jifan: "The old minister thinks that the next target is Ningbo, Fang Jifan, and the water village in Ningbo. You can make a lot of money by fishing."

"No...no." Fang Jifan was in a daze, and his mind was also full of Japanese pirates, when Liu Jian actually said that Ningbo Shuizhai had earned a lot of money.

This... is all hard-earned money.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Liu Jian said seriously: "The imperial court didn't want the money from the Zhen Guo Mansion, so tell the truth."

Fang Jifan was ashamed: "I have accumulated some wealth, which is used to reward soldiers and recruit more sailors in the future. In addition, the Zhen Guofu is also preparing for shipbuilding."

"That's right." Liu Jian said solemnly: "As expected, next time, the Japanese pirates will target Ningbo Mansion. Only after taking down the Ningbo Water Village, can they show off their power to His Majesty, and at the same time, use this to loot the Ningbo Water Village. "

Fang Jifan gasped, he felt that what Liu Jian said made sense.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "In that case, call immediately..."

Liu Jian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late. The most powerful thing about the Japanese pirates is that they are in the dark, while we are in the light. They are on the southeast coast, and some people are there to meet them. They attacked Taizhou first, and they wanted to come. Opportunity, so that soldiers and horses near Taizhou rushed to Taizhou for help. Once they entered the sea, they would immediately attack Ning

The water village of Bo is attacking, and the water village of Ningbo is in danger. When His Majesty mobilizes the army and horses, I'm afraid they will sail away after they succeed. "

This statement... makes sense.

After hearing this, Xie Qian couldn't help the other party Jifan said: "Fang Jifan, Ningbo Shuizhai, how many people are there? Tell the truth."

Fang Jifan was also startled, the attack... Is this the attack?

He actually wanted Fang Jifan's idea, he said seriously: "There are three hundred people."

"Three hundred people... At the beginning, the imperial court gave you money and food for one guard, but you still have three hundred people?" Xie Qian's words inevitably contained accusations.

This means that you, Fang Jifan, are living on empty pay. At the beginning, you recruited 300 people, which is reasonable, but the water village has been established for so long, or 300 people? What can three hundred people do? These are the Japanese pirates. At the beginning, thousands of officers and soldiers in Penglai Water Village were defeated. Four hundred people dared to chase and kill thousands of officers and soldiers. Your 300 people accounted for 3,000 people's establishment, now it's all right, the pirates are here, what should Ningbo Mansion do?

Fang Jifan bite the bullet and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xie, there is Tang Yin there. Besides, Hu Kaishan and Qi Jingtong are both good generals. As long as the Japanese pirates dare to go ashore, I can guarantee that they will give them a head-on blow. "

"..."

Sometimes, everyone admires Fang Jifan's optimism.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was sallow: "Whether it's too late or not, immediately send all the troops and horses to Ningbo Mansion to prevent disasters before they happen!"

After he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth: "A group of Japanese pirates are so rampant. At the beginning, the eunuch Sanbao was right. The imperial court didn't pay attention to the sea area, so there will be bandits to occupy the sea area. Sooner or later, it will become my confidant's trouble. This time, if there is a mistake in Ningbo , Zhu Qing must learn from the pain, the ancestors made a mistake once, and when they come to me, they must not make the same mistake again."

Emperor Hongzhi immediately sighed: "I have heard about Tang Yin. He is also a dedicated person. He is Fang Jifan's disciple. If he dies in this battle, the imperial court should give him serious compensation."

Fang Jifan wanted to say something, but when he thought about it carefully, he actually felt a little guilty about the fighting power of the Japanese pirates.

These people are desperadoes who run amok overseas.

Does it really work to teach them the art of war by yourself? And these Yiwu people and Yongkang people, could it be... really counting on being poor for 18 lifetimes, can they really put their lives at risk?

How many Japanese pirates will attack Ningbo?

Fang Jifan couldn't answer one question after another.

Immediately, Fang Jifan thought, so what?

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince and the ministers have spent countless efforts to prepare for the establishment of the town government and prepare the Japanese guards. If your Majesty asks the prince and the ministers whether the prepared Japanese guards can resist the Japanese pirates, the prince may not be able to guarantee it, but the ministers dare not." Guaranteed, the Zhen Guo Mansion prepares the Japanese guards, and will never run away, and will fight the Japanese pirates to the end."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said: "I can assure you, my father, please don't worry."

Emperor Hongzhi heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head: "The Great Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of land and thousands of subjects, how many troublesome things are going up and down..."

With a sigh, he trusted Fang Jifan, but the Zhenguo Mansion had only been established for a long time, and most importantly, their number was too small. These people are quite courageous, catching giant fish is enough to prove their loyalty and bravery, but Japanese pirates ravaged the southeast coast, coming and going without a trace, fierce and tenacious, countless officials and soldiers of the imperial court met them, and they never lost a single defeat.

Can this newly established Zhenguofu Beiwawei really defeat the enemy?

Emperor Hongzhi put his hand on the case and said nothing.

After a long time, he raised his eyes: "At this point, I have no choice but to rely on Tang Yin. I hope he will not disappoint me. Otherwise, the whole family in Ningbo will be devastated, and the imperial court will also lose face. If you are determined to suppress the Japanese, then the Japanese will be doomed. Even if all the Japanese guards in the Zhenguo Mansion die loyally and die, and the Ningbo Mansion is reduced to a hell on earth, I will never be intimidated by these Japanese pirates. , Continue to dispatch soldiers and horses to fight again, until all these stubborn bandits are buried in the belly of fish!"

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "Send out the report of the Taizhou government immediately so that everyone in the world will know."

"Your Majesty..." Li Dongyang couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. It's better to suppress this matter for the time being. If people in the world know it, not only will the court be laughed at, but the army and people in the world will fear Japanese pirates instead." It's even worse."

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Send it out, let people know, it's no big deal, be brave after knowing the shame, if the court presses it at the bottom of the box and turns a blind eye, it is a disgrace, lose once or twice, even eight or nine times , It’s not shameful, it’s shameful, the imperial court dare not face up to such a big mess.”
