Beiyang new warlord

Attacking back and forth, the huge army of more than 5 officers and soldiers turned into a huge piece of beef, which was cut into countless pieces by knives from all directions.

This is the battle plan formulated by Mao Jue, because it is commanding the Japanese pirates, and it also refers to their native Japanese tactics and strategies, the woodpecker tactics used in the Battle of Nakajima on the Shingen River of Takeda.

When a woodpecker pecks a tree, it often pecks a hole at the top, leaving the original wormhole at the bottom, and waits before going down the hole. The worms in the shaking hole often escape from the wormhole below in panic and fall into the woodpecker's mouth.

In terms of tactics, our team is also used as a bait like a hole, attracting attention, and dispatching an elite surprise attack team behind the enemy.

Except for the first day, more than 2 Japanese pirates lacked confidence, and all staff defended outside Hangzhou City. Every day after that, some elite ronin and fake Japanese swordsmen were transported to Hangzhou Bay. The officers and soldiers were not aggressive enough to capture Close to Hangzhou City and across the Qiantang River, the evil results of Xiaoshan County are undoubtedly revealed. In four days, an army of nearly [-] pirates was transported to the sea, and joined with the more than [-] Japanese pirates who had previously besieged Zhoushan, they landed again from Haining. He went around behind the officer army.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Conspiracy to Attack" says: Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you don't know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose once; if you don't know the enemy and yourself, you will be imperiled in every battle.Ye Yunting, the governor of Zhejiang Province, didn't know how powerful his troops were, nor did he know where the pirate army's strengths and strengths were, so he recklessly killed an army of [-] soldiers with a big word. The ancestral grave is really smoking!

When the swords meet and the blood bursts out, it is not that there is no last chance for the officers and soldiers. After all, the officers and soldiers have twice as many horses as the pirates, and the pirates' organizational ability is not strong. They are divided into more than a dozen forces, and they are still intriguing with each other. A powerful general stood up and turned the tide, staring at a few Japanese pirates and beating them hard. With huge casualties, he would definitely be able to make a gap. At least it would not be a problem to hold the camp.

It's a pity that the civil servants and generals of the officers and soldiers didn't do anything.

No one stood up to turn the tide!

Amidst the horrified screams, several Jiangnan singers who made Zhang Erniu salivate screamed and fled in all directions dragging their sleeves. And the crown couldn't help being ignored, the official hat was actually worn backwards, and he panicked and yelled at the soldiers around him.

"Lead the horses! Lead the horses! Send the governor to break out of the siege, you unworthy things!"

Lying behind the shack, Zhang Erniu watched helplessly these days, the yelling Governor-General lying on his horse, fled to the west in a flash, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Looking back, the front battalion was completely trapped. Suddenly, Zhang Erniu stabbed the earth-colored Li Datou heavily, and tilted his head towards the half-collapsed Chinese army tent.

Confused for a moment, this old soldier who had been farming for half his life and spent many times more time holding a hoe than a gun also nodded suddenly. The order had collapsed, and the two of them sneaked into Governor Ye's central army In the tent, after a while, with a bag full of things, he fled in the opposite direction again.

You high-ranking officials who eat the king's salary and share the worries of the king have all run away. What are we small soldiers who can't get enough to eat?

The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the entire southern army regiment was completely defeated. The huge barracks burned like a raging fire, and countless officers and soldiers fled in all directions, crying and shouting. Under the pursuit, they were either hacked to death, fell into the river, or simply had nowhere to go, and jumped into the rushing Qiantang River by themselves. The densely packed corpses mixed with blood almost covered the entire surface of the river.

"5 people! So vulnerable?"

In the binoculars, Mao Jue still shook his head in disbelief, which reminded him of the Dalinghe battlefield. Such an ally is not worth relying on, let alone, and even drags you down at critical moments. In his heart, Mao Jue is I am extremely disappointed in this Ming Dynasty.

On the other side, Shen Guangzuo also smacked his dry lips, and the fresh smell of blood came to his face, so he simply shook his head.

"Let's go!"

Chapter 200. Subdivision

Everything finally went according to the script written by Mao Jue. Qiantang was defeated, and the troops in the southeast of Zhili and the southeast of Zhejiang disappeared. The most affluent area of ​​the Ming Dynasty was exposed to the claws of pirates.

It seems that the chaos in the southeast that shook the country during the Jiajing period reappeared. Nanjing shook, Jiangnan shook, and the drunken literati on the Qinhuai River finally dragged their sleeves home in panic, began to pack up their belongings, and prepared to run away. As for the messenger sent to the capital for help, Like crucian carp crossing the river.

But at this time, another major event that shocked the court happened. Jiangnan Jinyiwei found out that the Japanese invaded this time because the Wu family in Songjiang, the Song family in Qiantang and other wealthy families in Jiangnan colluded with the Japanese pirates to sell contraband, and the spoils were distributed unevenly. On the same day when the pirates came to invade, Jiang Jing, the middle-ranking officer in charge of Nanjing, ordered more than [-] Jiangnan gentry officials, including Wu Wenhua from the Nanjing Procuratorate, Song Shu, Yousi Cheng of Honglu Temple, and Wei Yuangu, a doctor of the household department in Nanjing, to be sent to the Nanjing Procuratorate. Exonerated, Ye Yunting, the governor of Zhejiang Straight, also pushed the reason for the defeat to several of their families. Anyway, Wu Ercheng, the minister of rites, and several court officials died, and everyone pushed the wall down.

But this time, it happened to touch the sensitive nerves of the wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River. Eunuchs interfere in politics!During the Tianqi years, how many times have these families fought against Wei Zhongxian's minions?How many people died?How can you bear it?

With Jiang Jing's action, the Donglin Fushe Society was blown up. Everyone played the good party struggle tradition of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. The clan gathered in Yingtian, roaring and flocking to the officials in the central government of Nanjing, clamoring for the eunuchs to release them, and the scholar's clothes were as strong as the city, and they were menacing.

As for the Japanese pirates breaking through Jiaxing and already approaching the border of Nanzhili, I don’t care at all! In the face of party strife, what does it count for Japanese pirates to kill two people?

As for the little Lieutenant General Tie Yi who was asked for help by the official Shen Guangzuo, and brought the newly trained Yiwu soldiers to recover Hangzhou Mansion, no one paid any attention to it.

In fact, compared with the turbulent families in the south of the Yangtze River, Mao Jue himself is not noble enough to go there. Because of his personal grudges, he bribed the East China Sea pirates and came back to take revenge. Standing on the top of the city, Dinglan Town, which was destroyed by the flames of war, is still vivid in his memory. , further to the northeast, the main battlefield of the Ming army camp seems to be a huge scar on the ground, the burnt black ground, corpses scattered in disorder, arrows, spears stuck in the ground, stretching for more than ten miles, died that night Mao Jue didn't know how many people there were.

It's a pity that this world is like this. The whole world is turbid and I am alone. Mao Jue is not that high-minded.I'm sorry, even if you fight to the death, I will kill you! The aristocratic family who enjoys the kindness of the country doesn't care about this country anymore. He is a rough warrior, what do civil servants care about when he is the most unloyal fighter?

At any rate, the Dawang Banner at the head of Hangzhou City was replaced with the bright red characters, so that the rich families in Hangzhou who had been robbed and lost all their money could be regarded as relieved, and took to the streets again with dignity.

However, they didn't seem to get along very well with the Tieyi Army who liberated the city. When Mao Jue was looking down from the top of the city, a large group of wealthy families in the city were surrounding Mao Lian, arguing angrily about something.

"What's going on here?"

It's already May, if the corpses are not cleaned up, a great plague will be inevitable. As one of the few surviving big clans in the city, Shen Guangzuo is obliged to take the clan's children and tenants out of the city to collect the corpses, dig a hole on the ground and just come back. The old guy was just willing to gossip. Looking at the noisy scene under the city wall, he couldn't help climbing up the city wall curiously, pointing to the bottom and asking.

"What's wrong? What else can I do? We want to divide the land! I want to send troops to drive away those tenants. I'm not the prefect of Hangzhou, so I'll take care of their business!"

"land?"

Shen Guangzuo was really confused for a while, but immediately, this old fritter who had been an official all his life came to his senses again.

Although the military disaster caused heavy losses to the big families, and even many families were exterminated, but the military disaster is over, it is a good opportunity for the big families who survived the disaster to make a fortune. After all, the money can be taken away, but the land cannot be taken away. Yes, especially the land registers of the various families and the government have been almost burned. This is both a bad thing and a good thing.

As long as they seized the loopholes before the reunification of the imperial magistrate, divided the land, and re-signed the lease of sale of the tenants and slaves, within a few years, they would still be high-ranking rich lords.

Of course, the premise is that these methods should be made into a vested fact before the Hangzhou government is rebuilt. This would require collusion with the military officers, snatching the land and marking it, expelling the original tenants, and arresting some tenants who broke their slave contracts Come back and have them re-sign.

The posts of a certain minister and a certain minister selected by the elders one by one, pretended to be nonsense there, and asked Mao Jue to come forward to do that immoral thing, of course Mao Jue didn't like them.

But if you want to understand it, you want to understand it, but whether you can figure it out is another matter. Shen Guangzuo's temper immediately came up, his beard stood up, and he knocked on the city palm and growled.

"These scum! Just after the catastrophe, they don't want to restore their hometown and stabilize the neighbors, but they still think about fish and meat in the village for their own self-interest!"

"What's the difference between them and the scholars gathered in Yingtian City? One is for the benefit of the family, the other is for political dividends, to control the court's right to speak, and to prevent eunuchs from overpowering them. They don't even care about military and state affairs. Why do they care?" Xiaomin's life or death?"

Folding his arms and looking at the messy battlefield below, Mao Jue hummed contemptuously.

"These Jiangnan literati, sitting on a rotten boat, didn't even know it. They were still desperately tearing down the boards on the boat to build their own small space. When the boat sank, they sank into the abyss with them. I'm afraid they didn't know anything. It's regret."

This sentence is tantamount to scolding Shen Guangzuo. He is also one of the representatives of Jiangnan literati. He is rampant and lawless, and he is not aware of these ills.

But Shen Guangzuo himself is also a member of this privileged class. He is also powerless in the situation. He can only follow the rules.

In the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, there was indeed only one Hai Rui!

"By the way, uncle, the pirates will march towards Songjiang tomorrow, and the nephew and grandson will also lead the army to go north. This Hangzhou city will be handed over to uncle, but don't worry, I will not fight Songjiang city. As long as the Wu family is destroyed , I will stop and go back to Dongjiang."

"Oh, got it!"

Turning his head to look at those well-dressed scholar-bureaucrats who were still yelling endlessly, old man Shen answered absent-mindedly.

Mao Jue really left as soon as he said he wanted to. From the evening onwards, the Tieyi army withdrew from Hangzhou city one after another. They shouted fiercely at night. Seeing that Mao Jue was really going to leave, the surviving aristocratic families, senior officials and officials panicked. Seeing that Shen Guangzuo has a close relationship with Mao Jue, they huddled together outside Shen's residence.

"Old man Yueqiao Li, please let me know!"

"This little brother, please tell Mr. Shen that the land next to the river beach has been given up to him by my Zhao residence. I beg him to meet!"

These prominent figures in Hangzhou City politely held gifts and fisted each other. Unfortunately, because Shen Guangzuo was annoyed by Mao Jue, Shen Guangzuo was able to offer a bowl of closed doors, let alone them. The two dark gates were closed to death. Dead, the Shen family's son showed a sad face on his face, and waved his hands sadly.

"Everyone, go back! My master is sick! I really can't see anyone!"

Shen Guangzuo was indeed ill, but it was a heart attack. A large group of people gathered at the entrance of Shen's residence at this end, and the owners of the local Shen family, clan members, and several Zhuangzi Zhuangtou of the Shen family were all secretly called from the back door. came in.

Taking the meaning of handing down family business, Shen Guangzuo's eldest son, Shen Chuan's family, was an official in Nanjing, his second son, Shen Shou, was managing the family business at home, and several grandchildren also came. Shou was coughing and came out holding a box.

"Father, it's all here, what are you doing with these?"
