In the 19th year of Hongwu, in order to resist the invasion of Japanese pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of a garrison in Xiaoguan Town, Huating County, which is the Jinshan Guard.

In the 16th year of Yongle, the Japanese pirates invaded more and more. The earth city of Jinshanwei was raised by bricks by 5 feet, becoming the most solid fortress in Songjiang Prefecture's front line to resist Japanese pirates.

But all this was destroyed by the large-scale Japanese invasion a few months ago. Thousands of Japanese pirates captured Jinshanwei, plundered food, weapons, and population, and burned it clean with a fire, and even the city walls were completely stripped.

It is worth noting that although the Japanese pirates plundered cruelly and had many attempts to massacre cities, they rarely set fire to the city, and there would be no destruction of the city. Even Jiashan County, which fell twice a few months ago, had basically preserved cities, but Jinshan was completely destroyed.

On the one hand, it lies in the special military nature of the Kingsoft Guard as a garrison, and on the other hand, it lies in its geographical location.

Why did Qian Yuan insist that Songjiang Prefecture is likely to be the main battlefield?

The biggest reason why Kingsoft Guard was destroyed is the biggest reason.

Without the nail of Jinshanwei, the Japanese pirates can calmly land on the shore, attack Huating and Shanghai north, attack Jiaxing and Suzhou north, and escape from the sea easily if the situation is unfavorable.

After the typhoon in early August, a large number of Japanese pirates landed from Jinshan and lingered near Jinshanwei. They sent troops to attack Sichuansha and Nansha from time to time, and even approached Shanghai County several times. However, what surprised Yu Dayou and Nie Bao was that the Japanese pirates generally maintained a restrained state.

The destruction of Kingsoft Wei may not be a good thing. At least some people's lives are inconvenient. Of course, what these people are currently staring at may not be just small things such as living environments.

Although it had been half a month since a house in Jinshan City, the timid Wang Lushu was still trembling. She never thought that the young man she rescued was Xu Hai, the general of Tianchai Pinghai who could stop her from crying at night on the southeast coast.

Compared with her sister, her sister Wang Cuiqiao was much more calm. The result was as expected by her, but compared to her, her face was even more ugly. The face of the indifferent young man Songjiang occasionally made her wake up from time to time.

Thinking about her old parents and nephews who are named as child prodigy, Wang Cuiqiao gritted her teeth, but she couldn't do anything.

She couldn't tell everything to Xu Hai and Pan, and she didn't even dare to mention her family... Who knows if Xu Hai would kidnap her family together.

The footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Wang Cuiqiao looked up suddenly, her eyes full of surprise. She was the best at observing words and expressions. She knew that although Xu Hai was not impatient, her footsteps were quick and powerful, but the footsteps outside the door were calm and neither rushed nor slow.

"General... Oh, it's two wives, Fang is rude." Mr. Fang retreated out of the door awkwardly.

Wang Cuiqiao breathed a sigh of relief and gave a bow with a short body, "It's Mr. Fang."

Wang Cuiqiao and Wang Lushu had married Xu Hai ten days ago. At that time, Mr. Fang was the one who presided over the incident. It is said that he was a scholar. After Ligang was destroyed, he became Xu Hai's planner.

"Hahaha..." Xu Hai walked from the outside with a loud laugh, "No one is outsider. Come on, Mr. Fang sits there."

"Congratulations to the general for his great victory." Mr. Fang smiled and said, "In this way, at least from Shandong to the coast of Zhejiang, the general will no longer fight."

Although the typhoon was delayed for a while, Xu Hai still successfully integrated many maritime forces, from Shandong to Zhejiang and Fujian, the Japanese pirates along the coast were basically held by Xu Hai.

A few months ago, Xu Hai defeated Yu Dayou, led his troops to loot many places, and escaped safely across the three prefectures. This gave Xu Hai a strong appeal in a short period of time. He is now the largest Japanese pirate leader in the southeast coast.

"It's hard to say, that guy Wang Zhi is still in Japan." Xu Hai signaled Wang Cuiqiao to pour tea, "Mr. Fang is not as good as me. He is not used to drinking wine, and only likes tea."

Wang Cuiqiao no longer had the sad expression she had just now, and asked with a smile on her lips: "What kind of tea do sir like?"

"No, no, no, no," Mr. Fang waved his hand, "Huizhou Songluo and Hangzhou Longjing are both fine."

Xu Hai laughed and said, "This is called "no matter"... I, a Huizhou native, have never drunk pineapple tea."

"Songluo, Longjing hasn't yet." Wang Cuiqiao said with a smirk: "But there is Junshan Silver Needle."

"A green snail in the silver plate." Mr. Fang shook his head and nodded, "Junshan's tea-colored taste is like Longjing, and the leaves are slightly wider and green, which is also good."

Seeing the two sisters going to cook tea next door, Xu Hai frowned and glanced at Mr. Fang, "It seems that the gentleman doesn't mind them?"

"What does the general mean?"

"Although Xu Hai was born in a humble background, he had heard from Storytelling that the King of Western Chu committed suicide by slashing his throat because he was carrying female relatives in the army..."

"Hahaha, it's just a joke." Mr. Fang shook his head and smiled, "It's common for the army to carry female family members, let alone... what is the ambition of the general?"

"Ambition?" Xu Hai touched his head, "Walk here with deep foot and shallow foot..."

"In the past few months, the general has integrated the sea and commanded the army with tens of thousands of soldiers." Mr. Fang asked in a low voice: "Is the general trying to conquer the city and gain a king, prince, general, and minister... or even?"

"Sir, this joke is a bit big." Xu Hai rolled his eyes and pointed to the outside, "No of these guys came to make money and rebelled... Even my brother Xu Hong refused!"

"That's it." Mr. Fang spread his hands, "The general married a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine. The soldiers below were jealous and would only strive to move forward. Life at sea was difficult. Who wouldn't want to steal a beautiful girl back?"

"The tea is here." Wang Cuiqiao poured tea himself, "There is no river water, no mountain springs, only well water. Please forgive me."

"As long as it's not sea water, it's fine." Xu Hai drank all his mouthfuls and looked at Wang Cuiqiao, who had just married in the house ten days ago. "The eyes are a little dark. Haven't you had a good rest these days?"

Wang Cui grinded her nose and said with a smile: "Husband is running around, how can I rest well?"

"Haha, General, I'm so lucky!" Mr. Fang gave a thumbs up.

Xu Hai was also quite proud and pointed at Mr. Fang and said, "Don't be envious. I'll find you a beautiful lady when I go back this time. And your son should get married. I may not be able to be a relative in the future!"

"Then it depends entirely on the general." Mr. Fang bowed and thanked him, looked at Wang Cuiqiao and said, "But... will you let the two ladies go to Jinshan Island for the time being?"

Xu Hai hesitated for a while before nodding. The place name of Kingsoft comes from the Jinshan Islands, which can be seen from afar. It was a paradise of Japanese pirates a year ago, and the Ming warships along the coast never dared to approach them.

Let the sisters go to the inner room to rest, Xu Hai and Mr. Fang sat down in the side room to discuss the upcoming war.

"In fact, this is not a good time to start a war." Mr. Fang sighed: "It is already early October. Once the war is in stalemate and the climate becomes cold, the brothers below will not be able to hold on."

"But there is nothing to do." Xu Hai also sighed, gritted his teeth and pounded his teeth and harshly the table. "One hundred thousand taels of silver is a blessing for him to have the courage... He should have had the courage to have the courage to have the time!"

Four months ago, because Wang Zhi was temporarily dormant, Xu Hai's uncle Xu Weixue borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the Japanese in an attempt to fill the gap in maritime trade.

Unfortunately, while Xu Hai led his army to invade Jiaxing Prefecture, Xu Weixue was defeated by officers and soldiers on Nanao Island, Guangdong, and fell into the sea and died. This debt naturally fell on the heads of the two brothers Xu Hai and Xu Hong.

It can be said that there are reasons for Xu Hai's integration of maritime forces. Of course, because of this, he has a large number of Japanese armed forces under him. After all, 100,000 taels of silver, and the Japanese would never want this account to become a dead account.

Mr. Fang stood up and stood in front of the map on the wall, gestured: "To the north is Yu Dayou, to the west is Lu Tong. Both are not easy to mess with. Which general should I choose?"

Xu Hai walked back and forth a few steps, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, "Both are going to be messed with."

"What?"
