Chapter 171: Fuzhou Outer Islands
Fuzhou Outer Island.
Although it is an outer island.
But Zhang Luo obviously knew.
Zhang Liansheng refers to the islands on the edge of Fuzhou.
"Fuzhou Outer Island is far from Fuzhou City."
"It's only two days away."
"It's only three days away from Zhenhaiwei."
"Now the health center in Fuzhou."
"They were all too frightened by the Japanese pirates to send troops."
"Let the Japanese pirates plunder the people along the coast."
Zhang Liansheng said.
His face showed anger.
The people in Fujian are really suffering.
Since the Jiajing period.
Just three or four years.
There has never been any trouble with Japanese pirates.
The longer it goes.
The Japanese plague is getting worse.
In recent years, Japanese pirates have entered the territory every year.
People along the coast.
Every year we encounter such a disaster.
I heard the news that Japanese pirates have arrived on the outer islands of Fujian.
Zhang Luo also completely put away his anger.
His face gradually became serious.
Maritime defense of the Ming Dynasty.
It's really far away from Dapu.
Such an important defensive position on the outer island.
Within a few days, it was occupied by Japanese pirates.
There are ample water resources on the outer islands.
and food supplies.
The Four Kings of the Sea can borrow islands.
Attack various health centers in Fujian.
And each health center.
They can only defend passively.
"The sea detective also said that."
"The four kings of the sea will make an alliance with the Japanese pirates on the outer islands in early October."
"Lead other Japanese pirate factions."
"Let's attack Fujian together."
The Four Sea Kings are just the leaders of the Japanese pirates.
A general under Xu Hai.
He is currently living in Fujian Province.
The Fujian troops blocked the door and dared not leave.
Other Japanese pirates.
I also saw the weakness of Fujian.
Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.
Within a few days.
Bad news came one after another.
Tong'an County under Quanzhou Prefecture.
A letter asking for help was sent.
The Japanese pirate team came from Zhangzhou.
The attack has already reached the foot of Tong'an County.
This Japanese pirate team.
Originally there were only about twenty real Japanese people.
But absorbed along the way.
Many bandits.
It quickly grew into a team of 200 people.
An iron mine was also robbed on the way.
Melt all the iron inside.
A lot of new iron tools were brought out.
Zhang Luo heard the news.
I no longer have the peace of mind to do things safely.
He lamented the chaos in Fujian.
We will soon arrive at Zhenhaiwei.
In troubled times.
The most terrifying thing is the fluctuation of people's hearts.
Many people will see the situation accurately.
In troubled times.
A big shot.
Use this to satisfy your own desires.
Zhu Xiaoer, Tiezhan San and others.
I heard the news from Zhang Luo.
They were all very surprised.
Zhu Xiaoer even sighed.
"Oh, those bandits are really crazy."
"If you occupy the mountain and become the king."
"The government can't do anything yet."
"But I am with the Japanese pirates."
"You are just asking for death!"
Tieguan San said from the side:
"I heard that Brother Zhu surrendered to the Japanese pirates?"
Zhu Xiaoer blushed.
He shook his head and said:
"The ones I voted for were not real Japanese pirates."
"Just some smuggling pirates."
"And I haven't killed anyone."
"Mr. Zhang, I see some bandits who have taken refuge with the Japanese pirates."
"You have some friendship with me."
"Do you want me to persuade them to surrender?"
Zhang Luo shook his head.
In this situation.
It's good if the Japanese pirates don't come to you.
You also go to find Japanese pirates.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to agree to Zhu Xiaoer's request.
Another day passed.
Zhang Changwei came from Quanzhou Fuyamen.
Returned to Zhenhaiwei.
At the same time, he also brought back a souvenir from Governor Li.
Zhang Changwei had an ugly expression on his face.
He said to Zhang Luo:
"Your Majesty, please return to Zhenhai Guards."
"I want to ask the Zhenhai Guards to send troops."
"Go and solve the problem in Tong'an County."
Above the ancestral hall.
Grandpa Zhang and others heard the news.
They all turned to look at Zhang Luo, who was deep in thought.
Only important things happen now.
Zhang Luo’s opinion is the most important.
"We can't accept this."
Zhang Luo didn't think about it for long.
He gave his own thoughts.
Zhang Luo said to Zhang Liansheng:
"The Four Kings of the Sea sent a small group of Japanese pirates ashore first for two purposes."
"The first is to shock various health centers in Fujian."
"The second is to disrupt the military layout of various health posts in Fujian."
"Let the army be tired of fame."
"There are more than 300 soldiers of Zhenhai Guard."
"If you go elsewhere."
"Our situation is very difficult."
Zhang Luo said to Zhang Changwei again;
"Chang Wei, please go back and apologize to the prefect first."
"Then tell the prefect."
"The city wall of Tong'an County is very high."
"No matter how ferocious the Japanese pirates are, they still don't have the weapons to break the city."
"It won't fall so quickly."
"The purpose of the Japanese pirates is to plan the deployment of troops."
"Let him not get involved in the Japanese pirates' ways."
From Jinjiang to Tongan.
The march would take at least two days.
The official roads along the way are not easy to navigate.
In addition, there have been frequent heavy rains recently.
It's hard to carry firearms.
And there is nothing about Zhenhaiwei.
The terrain and garrison information of Tong'an County.
Go to the rescue.
It's like giving Japanese pirates fat meat to their doorstep.
At the same time, in the prefect's Yamen.
Li Yin'er also said to her father anxiously;
"Father and daughter thought it was inappropriate to send Zhenhai Guards to Tongan."
"If Zhenhaiwei goes."
"Save Tong'an County."
"What should we do after Zhenhaiwei?"
“Retrace your steps or go around putting out fires?”
Magistrate Li also heard the news that Tongan was besieged.
I'm so anxious that I'm going to die,
After what my daughter said.
It's a bit calmer.
Li Yin'er said again:
"From a daughter's point of view."
"Every county knows who the Japanese pirates are."
"I won't fight the Japanese pirates head-on."
"They must be holding on to the city."
"As long as there is enough food in the city."
"I'll be able to keep it for a while."
Magistrate Li felt that there was some truth to this.
Li Yin'er paused.
And said:
"This Japanese pirate rebellion."
"The focus is still on the sea."
"What's the meaning?"
"Japanese pirates in Quanzhou Prefecture."
"Just here to stir up trouble."
"You want us to cause chaos."
"Japanese pirates only account for a small part of it."
"Most of them are bandits from the mountains."
"To quell the Japanese invasion."
"Only by defeating the Four Kings of the Sea."
Magistrate Li naturally understands this truth.
As long as the four kings of the sea are at sea for one day.
Then the Japanese pirates on land.
There won't be any fear.
Anyway, after the robbery is over, they can retreat to the sea.
Now the entire sea off Fujian is controlled by the Four Sea Kings.
Japanese pirates can move freely within Fujian.
As long as the four kings of the sea do not leave the inner sea.
There will only be more and more Japanese pirates.
Magistrate Li is a sensible person.
He knew that his daughter was right.
But he can't count on Fuzhou either.
After a while of silence.
Magistrate Li sat down.
He sighed and said:
"I'll ask the Zhenhai Guards to send troops."
"It's just a temporary measure."
"If Zhenhaiwei refuses to send troops."
"This matter is settled."
The next morning.
Zhang Changwei returned from Zhenhaiwei.
This brings the reason for Zhenhaiwei to send troops.
It’s almost the same as Li Yin’er’s analysis.
In Jinjiang County.
Zhenhaiwei is the only soldier that can be used.
Magistrate Li did not have too much dissatisfaction.
Let Zhang Changwei return to the barracks.
Ready for war.
Three days later.
News came from Tong'an County.
The Japanese pirates continued to attack Tong'an City for a long time.
Spread out again.
They looted everywhere.
Magistrate Li wiped away a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Tong'an County was not breached.
