Chapter 981 Xiaolangyu Rescue Begging for the Moon
Wow, this heavy rain is so good.
Junji Matsumoto on the boat was breathing heavily while feeling the rare moist rain.
He has always liked to rain because it will inspire his fighting spirit and keep him in an excited state at all times.
This is difficult to understand. Logically speaking, rain will reduce the frequency of movements and make people feel embarrassed. Instinctively want to find something to hide.
But Junji Matsumoto doesn't think so.
In his opinion, this was an opportunity given to him by God.
If he can catch it, it means that he can challenge the strong in a better state.
He has always followed the principle of attacking on rainy days.
Some people say he is a lunatic, maybe he is really a lunatic, but he enjoys this state very much.
“It’s comfortable.”
Junji Matsumoto let the rain slap his face, and then the pleasure flowed down his cheeks to his neck.
"Ming Army must be in a very embarrassing place now. Their camp will definitely not be able to continue building near the dock."
Originally, the dock was bombarded by Japanese pirates with artillery and then lost the Ming army's garrison. Isn't that just a piece of fat on the chopping board just to eat?
If Junji Matsumoto doesn't seize this opportunity, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Junji Matsumoto took a deep breath and forced himself to keep calm.
The Ming army is already at the end of its strength after siege and not attacking for so long. Is it necessary to attack at this time?
Or to follow the original plan to the end?
Junji Matsumoto is facing his own instinct at this moment.
Instinct tells him to attack, but reason tells him not to wait rush.
Offense means adventure, and Junji Matsumoto is essentially an adventurous.
But now...
He hesitated a little.
After all, the number of Ming army is twice theirs. Can it really be won in one fell swoop?
Junji Matsumoto didn't know how long the rain would last, so he didn't know whether he should make a decision immediately.
In the end, Junji Matsumoto took a shell for divination and threw it high and caught it.
If the shell faces upward, it means that he should attack in time.
If the shell faces down, it means you should wait a little longer.
Junji Matsumoto immediately grabbed the shell, then held his breath and slowly moved his hand away.
What is the situation now?
The moment he saw the shell facing down, a hint of disappointment appeared on Jun Matsumoto's two sides.
How could this be the case? Even God thinks they are not suitable for attacking at this moment?
Junji Matsumoto clenched his fists, feeling a little unwilling.
But he also knew that this shell would not lie to him, because he would use this shell to make a fortune before making a big decision.
Every time he laughed to the end.
Forget it, I have been waiting for so long, so wait a little longer.
...
...
After heavy rain, there is a rainbow.
When Zheng Jing saw the rainbows all over the sky, he was also very comfortable.
Due to the timely transfer, almost no one died because of this storm, not only the Ming army but also the people who were captured by Japanese pirates.
Zheng Jing's timely decision saved tens of thousands of lives, which made him very proud.
Of course, Zheng Jing also knew very well that this was not the time to be proud and complacent.
The situation of the Ming army is still very dangerous today.
The fact that the Japanese pirates did not attack before does not mean that they would not attack later.
In fact, the Japanese pirates are the ones who take the initiative.
The Ming army was forced to make adjustments based on the actions of the Japanese pirates.
Although I am a little passive, I have to keep it.
"Your Highness, the people from the dock have returned. They said there is still a lot of water near the dock, and it is not suitable to move the camp back."
After the personal soldiers reported the news, Zheng Jing nodded slightly and said, "Forget it, let's camp in a high place for now. However, there must be no missing people going to the pier to keep watch near the dock. Three shifts must be carried out, and we must ensure that we report the situation immediately."
"Abide by the order!"
...
...
After three days of voyage, the army led by He Shouyi finally arrived at Quanzhou Prefecture.
Prefect Mei personally led the officials to greet him.
"Oh, General He, the officials are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally they have come to you."
Prefect Mei is the truth.
Since he received the news that Zheng Jing was trapped in Xiaolangyu, he has been unable to sleep even if he can't sleep.
Who said that Zheng Jing has a noble status and a noble family?
And he is just a mere prefect.
If it is unfavorable to rescue the prince, the career of the prefect Mei will end there. He will also make a private grudge with the master of Guo, and the master of Guo will definitely not let him go.
He could only count on Zhejiang to send troops to rescue him. Fortunately, General He Shouyi and General He was still loyal and came to rescue him in time.
In three days, Prefect Mei knew that He Shouyi had no delay on the road and must have rushed to it.
"Major Mei, how is the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now? Tell me quickly."
He Shouyi didn't even bother to drink a sip of water, so he directly asked about Zheng Jing's situation.
Prefect Mei said carefully: "General He is like this. The Xiaolangyu, where His Highness Prince He was trapped, is not far from Quanzhou City. However, it is said that a group of more than 5,000 Japanese pirates surrounded the dock, so it is difficult for His Highness Prince and the others to attack and can only defend Xiaolangyu. The officials are not worried about anything else now, just whether His Highness Prince and the others have enough food to eat. If the food is cut off, it will be too difficult."
This is also what He Shouyi is most worried about, so he is rushing to rescue him.
Judging from the current situation, the situation is obviously not as bad as expected.
As long as His Highness holds on, the Japanese pirates have no chance to take advantage of.
"In this way, take me to Xiaolangyu quickly. I want to see what kind of Japanese pirates are so brave that they dare to besiege His Highness the Prince."
He Shouyi said so, so Magistrate Mei would naturally not refuse.
His admiration for He Shouyi increased a little more.
What a guy, General He is really loyal and righteous.
I came here for a long distance and went to the savior immediately without any rest.
If there were more loyal ministers and generals in the Ming Dynasty, why worry about the immortality of the Japanese pirates?
Prefect Mei went to bed directly, took a few people to follow He Shouyi and headed towards Xiaolangyu.
Just as the prefect Mei said, Xiaolangyu is not too far from Quanzhou City. It was only because the island was too small before and did not attract the attention of the government, so it was eventually occupied by Japanese pirates.
He Shouyi was obviously not as familiar with the situation in Fujian as the locals, so he repeatedly confirmed with the guide that he would not run into the reef.
The warships used by the Ming army navy were all Dafu ships with very deep drafts, which were very likely to run into the reef.
The guide quickly patted his chest and assured He Shouyi that this generation is safe and there is no risk of falling into the reef.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, He Shouyi closed his eyes and rested.
There will inevitably be a fierce battle waiting for him next, and he must concentrate on accumulating his strength to save His Royal Highness the Prince.
