Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 260 Japanese pirates attack
Zhu Laosi looked disappointed, but he had promised Zhu Su to listen to him this time, so he didn't continue to pester him now.On the other side, Yao Guangxiao thought for a while, and reminded Zhu Su: "Your Highness, the poor monk Guan Na Yang Lu has a strange expression..."

"From the point of view of the poor monk, it is better to be on guard against this person."

"This king thinks so too." Zhu Su stroked his chin and recalled. "Ma Fengsun said earlier that Yang Lu was his nephew? But Yang Lu said he was only a distant relative... Di Meng?"

Di Meng, who had been waiting quietly, stepped forward and reported: "Your Highness, Jin Yiwei has already found some clues about this matter."

"Ma Fengsun claimed that he and Commander Yang's mother, Mrs. Ma, belonged to a certain village in Yangzhou. Yang's mother was separated from her family at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and they had no news of each other. Therefore, Ma Fengsun followed Yang's mother's path and married Yang's mother. Lianzong was called a brother and sister, so Ma Fengsun claimed to be Yang Lu's uncle."

"It was also because of the relationship between Commander Yang Lu that Ma Fengsun became a salt merchant and gained a firm foothold in Suzhou Prefecture in a short period of time."

"So it's Lian Zong." Zhu Su sneered.From this point of view, Yang Lu's contribution to Ma Fengsun's success in hiding in Suzhou Mansion is indisputable.I don't know if his armors were also obtained through Yang Lu's way.

"Since it's only Lianzong, it seems that Yang Lu doesn't know about Ma Fengsun's identity as Zhang Chen's remnants." Zhu Su said. "The two should just use each other. Ma Fengsun uses Yang Lu as his umbrella, and Yang Lu is probably borrowing Ma Fengsun to make money..." He turned his head and glanced at the three beautiful coral trees .

"However, this Yang Lu still has a place to use him at this time. Cao Yuan, a thousand households of Suzhou Wei, once told this king that most of the generals in Suzhou Weizhong are now Yang Lu's cronies. If Yang Lu is moved at this moment , I’m afraid that before we have time to integrate Suzhou Wei, those Japanese thieves have already called.”

"Your Highness is thinking about that." Yao Guangxiao also nodded in agreement. "Guanna Yang Lu was trembling just now, presumably because he was worried about being affected by the matter of Ma Fengsun... Your Highness can calm down for a while, and when he is stable in the future, he will find someone else to replace him."

"That's very appropriate." Zhu Su nodded, and said to the dog standing behind him: "Dog, go get the gold cup of this king, pour a glass of wine and send it to Yang Lu."

"In the face of the great enemy, the safety of this king and the two brothers must depend on him as the commander of the Suzhou Guard."

The dog went away at the sound, and Zhu Su turned his head and told Di Meng: "You take a fine horse out of the city, set up beacon fires everywhere and patrol along the coast."

"Although there is no way to set up an ambush to stop them, we still have to understand where the pirates landed and what their movements are."

"Yes." Di Meng clasped his fists in response.

……

With the concerted efforts of Zhu Su, Wei Guan and his team, Su Song started the pre-war preparations in full swing.However, even though the reaction of Zhu Su and others was already extremely fast, when they really got the news of the pirates' landing, everyone still felt caught off guard.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of Hongwu, just three days later, Di Meng, who was standing on a certain earthen mountain by the sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River, saw the mighty Japanese pirates closing their boats on the sea level.

"Hiss, this amount..."

Di Meng gasped.He turned his head and told the sentinels behind him: "Quick, light up the wolf smoke."

"Then let's hurry back to the city and inform His Highness!"

The sentry cavalry behind him responded quickly, and after a while, a solitary wolf smoke floated slowly on this beach.

……

"Heh, does this start to light up the wolf smoke?"

On the boat in the middle, a young man with a clean face and dressed in a black and gold Wu suit opened his arms, staring at the smoke rising one after another, with a gloomy glint in his eyes. "Mr. Ojing, it seems that the Ming people have already prepared."

Beside the young man, a Japanese man with a full face spat fiercely on the deck.He is short in stature, but there are two extremely tall antlers inserted into his helmet comically, as if he wants to use the height of the antlers to cover up his lack of height.Hearing the young man talking to him, the man turned his head to the young man and said in broken Chinese: "Mr. Zhang, since Ming people have already prepared, shall we wait and see at sea first?"

"Maybe there will be an ambush by the Ming army on the shore?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Dajingda is worrying too much!" The young man laughed.Pointing to the wolf smoke on the shore, he said with great certainty: "This coast is so narrow and long, how could the Ming army predict where we landed?"

"If you want to set up ambushes everywhere, I'm afraid it will take tens of thousands of troops."

"Besides, even if there is an ambush, can those Ming troops stop the Japanese warriors under your command?"

"Not bad, not bad!" The young man's flattery made the Japanese named Dajingtian feel comfortable. "Even if there is an ambush by the Ming people, under the sudden advance of the ronin warriors of my Ojingda family, those Ming people will definitely be defeated!"

This young man with a sharp complexion is none other than Zhang Li, the second son of Zhang Shicheng who is still alive.Zhang Li's skin is dark, and he has a reckless manner in his gestures, which is completely different from his elder brother Zhang Ren, who is thin-skinned and tender.But the shrewdness in his eyes is far better than the pretentious Zhang Renduo.

And the Japanese next to him is a well-known Japanese pirate on an overseas island, and his name is Nao Oida.The Oida family was in the country of Wa, and it was also a well-known local daimyo. However, in the "Battle of Minatogawa" that split the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the country of Japan, the governor of the Oida family was ordered to defend Fukuyama Castle in Bichu, but was later established by the Ashikaga Takashi who founded the Ashikaga Shogunate. defeated.

The Oida family fled to the sea in a hurry, and the Oida family directly inherited the position of family governor.But the fiefdom in the Wa Kingdom has fallen, and the Dajing family has lost their foundation. Even if they return to the Wa Kingdom, they will only become a down-and-out warrior.So Ooida Shizhi simply became a Japanese pirate and "made a living" with a Japanese sword at sea.

Unlike other Japanese pirates who were forced to make a living, the Oida family were all serious warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles in the "village war" of the Japanese country.Its ruthlessness is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary Japanese pirates. After coming and going again and again, it actually created a large family fortune on the sea.

As the "house governor", Nao Oida, although already down and out, still considers himself to be of noble blood.On weekdays, when dealing with other Japanese pirates who are also Japanese, they often rob and annex them.However, he treated Zhang Li, who led the remnant of Zhang Shicheng and was a "noble man" of the Celestial Dynasty, with courtesy.The two are called brothers and sisters on weekdays, and they often work hand in hand when they rob...

"Mr. Zhang, so in your opinion, what should we do?" Da Jingtian directly asked Zhang Lidao.

"Mr. Da Jingtian, I think we'll go directly to the city of Suzhou."

"If you want to grab it, we'll just grab the big ones!"

Zhang Li excitedly licked the corner of his lips.
