Zhu Laosi looked disappointed. He had promised Zhu Su before that he would listen to him this time, but he did not continue to pester him at this moment. Over there, Yao Guangxiao thought for a while and reminded Zhu Su: "Dong Dong,
The poor monk looked at Yang Lu with a strange expression..."
"From the perspective of a poor monk, it would be a good idea to take more precautions against this person."
"Is this what I think?" Zhu Su recalled as he touched Dongba. "Earlier, Ma Fengsun said that Yang Lu was his nephew? But Yang Lu said that he was only a distant relative... Di Meng?"
Di Meng, who had been waiting quietly at the side, responded and reported: "Dongdong, regarding this matter, the Jin Yiwei has investigated and found some clues."
"Ma Fengsun claimed that he had the same surname as Commander Yang's mother, Ma, from a village in Yangzhou. Yang's mother was separated from her family at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and had no news about each other. Therefore, Ma Fengsun followed Yang's mother's path and married Yang's mother.
The two clans called each other sister and brother, so Ma Fengsuncai claimed to be Yang Lu's uncle."
"It was also because of the relationship between the commander and Yang Lu that Ma Fengsun became a salt merchant and established a firm foothold in Suzhou Prefecture in a short period of time."
"So it turns out that the two clans are connected." Zhu Su sneered. From this point of view, Ma Fengsun successfully hid in Suzhou, and Yang Lu played a major role. I don't know whether those pieces of armor of his were taken by Yang Lu.
That road was used to get it.
"Since there is no continuation of the clan, it seems that Yang Lu mistakenly identified Ma Fengsun as Zhang Chen's remnant and did not know about it either." Zhu Su said. "The two of them should have used each other. Ma Fengsun used Yang Lu as his protective umbrella, and Yang
Is Lu Bacheng trying to make money by borrowing Ma Fengsun..." He turned around and glanced at the three magnificent coral trees.
"Bu Nao, then Yang Lu is very useful at this time. Cao Yuan, a thousand households in the Suzhou Guards, once told me that in the Ming Dynasty, most of the generals in the Suzhou Guards were not Yang Lu's trusted confidants. If we don't move at this moment,
If we take Yang Lu, we are afraid that before they can integrate the Suzhou Guards, the Japanese bandits will already come."
"Did the Lord think about it?" Yao Guangxiao also nodded in agreement. "Seeing that Yang Lu was so frightened just now, maybe he was worried about being affected by Ma Fengsun's incident... The Lord said something to calm his mind for the time being, and he will be stable after a month.
Find someone else to take his place."
"That's very appropriate." Zhu Su nodded and waited on the dog standing behind him: "Gou, go get the golden cup from this king and pour a glass of wine to Yang Lu."
"Suffice it to say that there is a powerful enemy at hand. The safety of my two royal brothers is very much in danger. I beg you to rely more on his commander of the Suzhou Guard."
The dog went away in response, and Zhu Su turned around and ordered Di Meng: "I will take a group of elite cavalry out of the city, set up beacons everywhere and patrol along the coast."
"Although they can't set up an ambush to intercept them, they still have to know where the Japanese pirates have landed and what their movements are."
"No." Di Meng answered with his fists clasped.
…
While Zhu Su, Wei Guan and others worked together to make preparations for the war, Su and Song began their pre-war preparations in full swing. However, even though Zhu Su and others' reaction was already extremely fast, when they really got the news of the Japanese pirates' landing, everyone
People can't help but feel caught off guard.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of Hongwu's reign, just three days later, Di Meng, who was standing on a mountain on the seashore at the mouth of the Yangtze River, saw the mighty Japanese pirate ships passing by on the sea level.
"Hiss, that amount..."
Di Meng took a breath of cold air. He turned around and told the sentry behind him: "Quick, light up the smoke."
"Then they quickly return to the city and notify the Emperor of the Palace!"
The sentry behind him hurriedly responded to the order. After a while, a lonely wisp of wolf smoke slowly floated up on that beach.
…
"Oh, then the smoke has been lit?"
In the middle of the ship, a young man with a capable face and a black and gold Wu uniform opened his arms and stared at the rising smoke, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes. "Oita.
Sir, it seems that Ming people are well prepared."
Next to the young man, a Japanese with a fleshy face spat fiercely on the deck. He was short in stature, but his helmet had two comically high antlers, as if he was trying to use the height of the antlers to cover up his height.
His performance was average. Hearing that the young man told him to shut up, the young man turned his head to the young man and said in broken Chinese: "Jun Zhang, since the Ming Dynasty has already prepared, why don't they wait and see at sea first?"
"Perhaps there will be an ambush by the Ming army on the shore?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Ohida, you are worrying too much!" The young man laughed loudly. He pointed with his leg at the smoke of the wolf on the shore, and said with great certainty: "The coast is so narrow and long, how could the Ming army predict where they would land?
"
"If we don't set up ambushes everywhere, we may have to ask for an army of hundreds of thousands."
"Besides, even if there is an ambush, can those Ming troops stop the Japanese warriors under my command, Oita-kun?"
"Not bad, not bad!" The young man's flattery made the Japanese named Oida feel comfortable. "Even if there is an ambush by Akito, if the ronin samurai pigs of the Oida family suddenly advance eastward, those Akito must also
The army is completely defeated!"
That young man with a lean complexion is the second son of Zhang Shicheng who is still alive, Zhang Li. Zhang Li has dark skin and a rather reckless attitude in his movements, which is completely different from his elder brother Zhang Ren, who has a tender skin and tender flesh.
But the shrewdness in his eyes was far better than the pretentious Zhang Renduo.
The Japanese next to him was a famous Japanese pirate on an overseas island, and his name was Oida Clan. The Oida family was not a famous local daimyo in Japan, but in the "Minato" of the split of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in Japan,
During the "Battle of the Sichuan", the Oida clan, governor of the Oida family, was ordered to defend Bechu Fukuyama Castle, but was defeated by Ashikaga Takauji, who later founded the Ashikaga shogunate.
The Oida clan fled to the sea, and the Oida family inherited the position of governor. However, the fiefdom in Japan has fallen, and the Oida family has lost its foundation. Even if it returns to the mainland of Japan, it will become a down-and-out samurai.
.So the Oita clan simply became a Japanese pirate and "made a living" at sea with a Japanese sword.
Unlike other Japanese pirates who were forced to make a living, the Oida clan were not serious samurai. They had experienced hundreds of battles in the "village wars" of the Japanese country. Their ruthlessness was naturally extraordinary and comparable to that of Japanese pirates. After coming and going, they were actually on the surface of the sea.
He founded Nuo Da's family business.
As the "house governor", the Oita family has fallen into decline, but still thinks that he is not of noble blood. During the week, he mistreats other Japanese pirates who are also Japanese, and he often robs and annexes them. However, he mistakenly leads the remnants of Zhang Shicheng's troops.
Zhang Li, the "noble man" in the Celestial Dynasty, treated each other with courtesy. The two of them called themselves brothers for a month, but they often worked together when committing robberies...
"Mr. Zhang, in my opinion, what should they do?" Oita asked Zhang Li directly.
"Oita-kun, look at it, they will advance directly to the east of Suzhou City."
"If you ask for help, they will just grab the big one!"
