Chapter 928
Zhang Dun introduced a lot of things about his cousin, and Wang Ning'an was very interested in listening. There are many excellent civil servants these days, and many military generals can fight, but there are not many civil servants who can lead troops. Wang Shao could barely count them as one, and there was no one except him.
This Zhang Shi was able to train the civilians in the county into tigers and wolves, dare to fight back against the bandits' nest at sea, and win a great victory. It was really eye-catching and amazing.
Wang Ning'an keenly realized that this person should be a talented person, and he grew up by the sea since he was a child and knew marine hydrology very well. If he expanded outward in the future, he would definitely be a pioneer.
He spent the whole night talking about Zhang Yue. At this time, Zhang Yue, who was in Yancheng, had no idea that he did not realize that he was about to be prosperous and prosperous, but was worried.
For several days, he has received secret reports that pirates reappeared in the sea bandit nest he destroyed. Some fishermen passed by and were chased and almost died. When they heard their words, they seemed not Han people. Some fishermen said that they had a red circle on their banner and messy things... Based on all the information, Zhang Shi judged that they should be Japanese.
In addition, there were many strangers around Yancheng. They were watching around, which meant to survey the terrain, which made Zhang Feng even more suspicious.
He found the magistrate and said the suspicion, but the magistrate disagreed. He also warned Zhang Xi not to make a big fuss. Japan was already a vassal of the Song Dynasty, and the imperial court also sent a governor to coordinate the war. Nowadays, Japan should be resting and restoring production. How could it be used to use troops to the outside world, and to use troops to the Song Dynasty!
What the fishermen saw was that they might have encountered a shipwrecked Japanese, and they had nowhere to go, so they drifted to the coast, so they didn't have to worry about it...
Zhang Feng was even more worried when the magistrate was so careless.
Nowadays, the army of the court is pressing down on the canal, and also searching many academies, and their energy is involved. If something happens, it will be a big deal and you will not be careless!
Zhang Qi secretly sent many people to disguise themselves and go to the sea to investigate... Finally, after sending three waves of personnel, someone came back with blood and arrows.
"Sir, it's a Japanese pirate. It seems that you want to attack... salt, salt..." The soldier fell on the beach without finishing his words, and no longer had a breath!
Zhang Qi's face turned pale and his fists were clenched. "Send an order to immediately order all the people to retreat into the city, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and everyone prepares for the war!"
If it were ordinary officials, even if the order was issued, the people might not abide by it. However, Zhang Shi's prestige was too high. All the people followed the order and quickly entered the city. Many fishing boats and salt fields on the beach gave up.
Sure enough, just as the people retreated into the city, the Japanese pirates came. They landed from the coast, set fire to ships, and killed all the way, extremely cruel.
Fortunately, the people were all withdrawn and the losses were not big, they were just some wealth.
Above the city, the magistrate's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"My husband, you saved me! Otherwise, my life would be in trouble, and I, the magistrate, should have died!" He thanked him without any worries.
But Zhang Feng pursed his lips and didn't say anything, his heart was filled with flames of anger!
Who are we?
The Song Dynasty!
The country is dignified!
On our land, there were Japanese soldiers and horses galloping around, as if they were entering a no-man state. It was a shame and humiliation. He was not at all happy. On the contrary, his old face turned red, as if he had been slapped with more than a dozen mouths.
"The Lord of the Hall is here to defend the city, and there are still some things for the Lord."
After saying that, Zhang Feng quickly stepped down the city wall and summoned all the civilian soldiers who had attacked the nest of the sea bandits.
"I just saw that there were about 3,000 Japanese pirates who came here. They were fully equipped with weapons and armor, and they seemed to have great combat power... If this group of Japanese people were allowed to go deep into the inland, I am afraid that more people would be damaged... As an official of the Song Dynasty, the son of the Han family! I want to leave the city and attack the Japanese pirates."
"This battle is very dangerous, you just want to do it! If you don't go, you will never force it!"
After Zhang Qi finished speaking, hundreds of people looked at each other, but none of them left.
"Sir, we grow up on the beach and go out to sea to fish. From childhood to adulthood, we know that a big boat cannot be driven by one person! Only by pinching it into a rope can we bring the fish back and the whole family can have a full stomach. When the Japanese come, they are all patrons and become turtles with their heads, they are not men!"
"Well said!"
Zhang Qi said with satisfaction: "Listen, prepare immediately. Twilight will come and follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!"
"Abide by the order!"
Zhang Yu assembled less than 500 people. He took out all the armor and weapons stored in the county, and the soldiers filled their stomachs with long and short weapons, and prepared them one by one.
The Japanese surrounded the city for a while and found that they were on high alert. They could only curse and give up the siege. It happened that it was too late. The Japanese slaughtered all the cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs that they stolen. Not far from the city, they ate and chewed, as if they had never seen a hungry ghost.
Zhang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "What a group of rampant Japanese pirates, I will let you eat enough!"
Zhang Feng did not choose to attack at night. He was worried that the Japanese pirates would leave at night, so he waited for the guys to finish their supper and lay on the ground to rest. Zhang Feng decisively ordered to go out of the city to kill the enemy!
Others were tall and strong, rushing in front, and the soldiers behind them only followed, and everyone ran wildly, with archers covering both sides. The scattered Japanese pirate sentries were easily killed, and they rushed to the Japanese pirates in one breath.
Only then did the Japanese pirates react, and they jumped up one after another, screaming and fighting.
But they were eating too much just now, and they were inevitably slow to move and insufficient reaction.
Zhang Qi waved the Mo knife in his hand and slashed five Japanese pirates in succession, staining his armor with blood, like a madness! Zhang Qi also learned martial arts in Nan Shaolin in his early years, but he has not let go of it for years and is very skilled.
He led the other soldiers, who were full of fighting spirit, kept waving weapons and slashing the Japanese pirates one by one. Looking from the city, Zhang Yu's men and horses were like a sharp wolf-toothed arrow, piercing the Japanese camp.
Wherever you pass, corpses are everywhere and blood flows.
The soldiers and civilians guarding the city saw it and were very excited. They followed and cheered, and the voices were heard far away.
At this time, it was completely dark, and the Japanese pirates could not tell how many people were coming, so they could only flee in a hurry.
Zhang Feng bit them tightly and chased them to the beach in one breath. The Japanese pirates wanted to board the ship and escape. Zhang Feng waved his hand and some soldiers shot the sulfur-covered rockets at the ship, and several strong soldiers threw the only tincture oil and gunpowder at the ship by the beach.
Moreover, Zhang Feng asked the soldiers to prepare some special things, that is, buckets of fish oil. As long as it is poured onto the ship, the flames immediately soar into the sky and there is no way to rescue it.
More than one hundred ships came from the Japanese pirates, two-thirds of which were burned by them.
More than 1,500 Japanese pirates killed and burned to death. The remaining Japanese pirates fled everywhere. Only a small number of them boarded the ships and fled back to their nests on the sea, while the rest were scattered everywhere.
Zhang Feng formed a strong militia around Yancheng, and the people who cooked salt were also armed. They carried sickles and bamboo poles. Although the weapons were simple, they were better than many people.
The Japanese pirates who were headless and flies collided and killed by everyone.
After counting it, Zhang Jing killed more than 2,000 Japanese pirates in total.
The soldiers were all very excited. After winning such a big victory, they finally celebrated their achievements!
They cut off the Japanese pirates' heads, simply deal with them with lime, and prepared to report them to the Ministry of War to receive rewards... In addition, they also suffered a lot of losses, almost one hundred people were killed and more than one hundred were injured, which needed to be dealt with urgently.
Zhang Qi directed the big guy and handled it step by step. In the busy space, Zhang Qi ran to the beach. He stared at the wreckage of the ships. Suddenly, Zhang Qi threw off his heavy armor, drifted over with his bare back, picked up a board of ships, and dragged it to the shore. Zhang Qi carefully identified it.
Most of the shipboard was burned, but a line of characters could be vaguely identified inside... Huangyou two-year system!
Zhang Qing looked ugly, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to collect the wreckage of the ship. When they put all these things together, Zhang Qing checked them one by one.
He found that 80% of the ships were actually made in the Song Dynasty, and only 20% of them were unknown... In this era, the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty was unique in the world, and the most important one was the watertight cabin technology.
It is no exaggeration to say that 99% of the ships with watertight cabins were built in the Song Dynasty.
People are Japanese, but the ship belongs to the Song Dynasty!
What's going on?
Zhang Feng's head turned quickly. Was someone sold the ship to the Japanese pirates, or did the Japanese pirates snatch the ship from somewhere? If it was the former, was it intentional or unintentional, if it was the latter, would the robbed ship owner live or die? Why did the court have no news at all! This is really incredible. The Ministry of Colonial, Privy Council, Ministry of War, and the Strategic Office, and the Patrol Office. What are these people doing? Why don't they even have an early warning?
"Damn it!"
Zhang Feng hit the boat board on the ground hard and roared: "I want to write a letter to impeach these dog officials!"
He turned around suddenly and suddenly found a group of people standing not far away. At the front was a very tall guy, who had some similarities with him. He was smiling and said, "Which dog official should I impeach? Is it not included me?"
Of course Zhang Feng recognized it, this guy was Zhang Dun!
"Of course you can't escape even if you are guilty. It's a pity that you have climbed up the high branch. It may not be useful for me to impeach you!"
Zhang Dun was so angry, "Do you still think that I got up with my master? I'm a candid guy? Right?"
Zhang Qing turned his face to the side, hugged his shoulders, and said nothing, as if he could understand the meaning. Zhang Dun kept jumping on the beach, pointing at Zhang Qing's nose, "If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have spoken for you. You deserve to be a county magistrate for the rest of your life! You also want to impeach me, but you can't find the temple gate even if you burn incense!"
These two brothers were really awkward. Wang Ning'an couldn't help laughing secretly. He walked over, "Are you Zhang Zhifu? I'll testify to Zihou. He climbed up with his ability. He went to Japan twice for two missions, and he sacrificed a lot. He was very capable, ah, hahaha!"
After hearing this, Zhang Dun was determined to die.
"Master, I am your disciple, I can't go to outsiders!"
