Chapter 914
Qin Zhongtang, who has always been high-profile, arrogant and domineering, disappeared from Ningbo City, but everyone still misses him.

In fact, everyone knew about Qin Zhongtang's whereabouts. He went to Dinghaiwei for inspection, but he was supposed to be able to go back and forth in a day, so he didn't know why he didn't return.

In the eyes of the local aristocrats, this seems both normal and a little abnormal.

It is normal, after all, the Japanese pirates are coming again soon, Qin Zhongtang supervises the southeast, it is not strange to go to the coast guard to inspect, and it can even be said to be a necessary gesture.

It's not normal because Qin Dewei was so aggressive before, using the most forceful and high-handed attitude to go to war in Ningbo City, as if he was going to fight the local wealthy family forever.

In the end, before he could come up with a result, he suddenly gave up halfway and went to Dinghaiwei. So what is the matter in Ningbo City?
Regarding the dispatch of troops to attack Shuangyu Island, Qin Dewei, who has a strong sense of secrecy, did not give an order publicly, but only conveyed it internally among the mobilized officers and soldiers, and it was only conveyed before departure.

Most of the insiders like Lu Tong and his officers and soldiers have already boarded a boat to Shuangyu Island. There is no telephone and Internet these days, and it is impossible to spread news at sea.

Even the soldiers and civilians of Dinghaiwei only thought that Lu Tong had returned to Fujian by boat with his troops, not to mention the people in Ningbo.

This is why Qin Dewei tried so hard to transfer troops from Fujian in the first place, in order not to cause people to think too much about coming and going.

If it was changed to Zhejiang officers and soldiers who suddenly went to sea, everyone would definitely have to wonder, what did they do?
Therefore, the four big families who don't know the truth are a little confused by Qin Zhongtang's sudden abandonment of Ningbo and staying in Dinghaiwei without returning, and they are very incomprehensible.

But fortunately, now they have a think tank like a bright light, who can always see the light of the cloud at critical moments and give them advice.

So the families sent people to Sanjiangkou outside the city to ask the ship inspector Yan Shifan for advice.

Yan Shifan replied, "After Qin Dewei exhausted all means, you still refused to give in and surrender, now it's Qin Dewei's turn to make things difficult.

I concluded that Qin Dewei was already unsustainable, and he would only be at the end of his rope if he stayed in Ningbo City, so I had to go to Dinghaiwei for a while. "

After everyone thought about it along the lines of Mr. Yan, the light figure, they immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

Previously, Qin Dewei suddenly postponed the hospital examination, and then immediately went to Dinghaiwei. Maybe he knew that there would be troubles caused by scholars in the school examination, so he deliberately went out to hide, which was a way to delay the attack.

Later, everyone heard that the Fujian soldiers who had been transferred by Qin Dewei to scare people had boarded the boat and left.

This further verified what Master Mingdeng Yan said, although Qin Dewei is fierce, he cannot last long, and time is on the side of Ningbo locals.

Until now, the local wealthy family, who have been suffering in recent months, finally saw the dawn of victory.

As long as he waits until he can make good contact with the Japanese pirates who came on the wind, and lead the Japanese pirates ashore into Ningbo City, Qin Dewei can commit a felony that is not good for defending the land.

Then the dust will settle, and the God of Plague will be sent away!In the future, on the land of Ningbo Mansion, all affairs will still be decided by a few powerful families!

Ever since Qin Dewei traveled, he often complained in his heart that the communication methods of this era are very backward and inconvenient.

But everything has disadvantages and advantages, and the communication method that makes Qin Dewei, a traveler, feel inconvenient, often becomes an opportunity for Qin Dewei to beat the information gap.

For example, when Lu Tong led thousands of troops to attack Shuangyu Island, the two leaders of Shuangyu Island's forces, Xu Dong and Li Guangtou, were not on Shuangyu Island.

The two big bosses were in Lieyu at this time, chatting and laughing happily with Wang Zhi, the leader of the emerging power who came from afar. They didn't know about the beating of their old nest, and no one could inform these two.

Neither Xu, Li nor Wang Zhi could take away the confidence and strength of the other party, so sitting down and talking is the best way.

Even though Wang Zhi was just a small boss under Xu Dong, at this time Xu Qiye must admit that Wang Zhi has the qualifications to fight against courtesy. After all, strength is the most important thing in the sea.

After two days of talks, both parties got what they needed, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

There are three groups of people who live on Shuangyu Island, except for those who were born in Ming Dynasty and He Fulangji, the rest are Japanese.

During the talks, Xu and Li allowed Wang Zhi's forces to replace the Japanese forces as permanent forces on Shuangyu Island, and to help Wang Zhi when necessary.

But what Wang Zhi has to pay is to share the trade channel through Japan with Xu and Li.

Originally, Xu, Li and their captains were mainly doing business with Folang Jiren, and Nanyang was also involved, which was generally the southern route.

However, in recent years, with the explosion of the silver mine output in the country of Japan, the profits from trade with Japan have been extremely lucrative, but Wang Zhi took the lead in this outlet, which directly led to the rapid expansion of Wang Zhi's power.

Xu and Li are of course very keen on the trade with Japan, so this time they would rather let Wang Zhi's forces enter Shuangyu Island in exchange for the sharing of trade channels with Japan.

At least for now, this is a win-win cooperation, the only loss is the Japanese forces.

Many important matters were negotiated, and the two sides sat on the deck and drank tea in an arty manner.

Xu Dong and Xu Qiye were in a good mood, suddenly remembered another matter, and said to Wang Zhi: "I have a small business here, entrusted by a friend on land, Wufeng, can you do it?"

Wang Zhi asked back in surprise: "It's worth mentioning, Qiye, can it be a small business?"

Xu Dong explained: "In terms of money, it is indeed not a big deal, but it can have some beneficial effects on us.

A friend needs to contact two large groups of Japanese people and go ashore to Ningbo City to make some noise.Wufeng, you are familiar with the Japanese, so you should be able to help arrange it? "

Many maritime forces these days are part merchants and part pirates, and Wang Zhi is no exception. If it is said that he has no connection with Japanese pirates at all, no one will believe it.

"What is there to say?" Wang Zhi didn't directly agree, but continued to ask.

Xu Dong smiled and pointed to Xu Weixue who was beside Wang Zhi, "It was he who reminded me that it would be very bad for us if Qin Dewei were to dominate the family in Ningbo.

So if there is an opportunity to send the Japanese people ashore and destroy Qin Dewei's prestige, why not do it? "

Another leader, Baldy Li, echoed, "Then Qin Dewei is too obedient and doesn't know how to honor us. We should teach him a lesson, let him know that smuggling this bowl of rice is not so delicious."

Both sides laughed together a few times, although Wang Zhi wanted to get along well with the government, but at this time he couldn't act like "unfit", so he just nodded and said, "Understood!"

Anyway, contacting some Japanese pirates is not a difficult thing to do, creating some difficulties for the government, and when it comes to negotiations, wouldn't it be better to promote your own status?
Waiting for him to gain a firm foothold on Shuangyu Island, Qin Dewei will surely understand that the chieftain Wang Wufeng is not an unknown person, but a figure with decisive power in the East China Sea, and he is the best partner for the government !

While talking, Xu Dong suddenly asked Xu Weixue in a strange way: "Why do you always seem restless today? Talking to you is also absent-minded."

Xu Weixue cursed secretly, now he is in the biggest gamble in his life, these two days are the time to announce the result, can you not be nervous?

Don't look at you, Xu Qiye and Wang Datou, who seem to be scolding Fang Qiu, and have finalized the pattern of the East China Sea for the next ten years in just a few words, but maybe after today, it will be nothing!
Just as Xu, Li and Wang Zhi were imagining the future blueprint of the East China Sea together, the offensive and defensive battle of Shuangyu Island was basically coming to an end.

Commander Lu Tong from Fujian Dusi stood outside the Tianfei Palace on Shuangyu Island, looking at the last handful of stubborn enemies who were dying, trembling with excitement.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, as a naval military officer at sea, he spent his whole life catching smugglers and beating Japanese pirates, yet he also made achievements similar to "opening up the territory".

For Qin Zhongtang's great contribution, it is not too much to be promoted to the second rank, and then to arrange a guard commander, basically the highest pinnacle of a local military officer's life.

Looking back on the process, Lu Tong also had to admit convincingly that although Qin Zhongtang hid in the safe rear and led the troops to the front line, more than half of the credit belonged to Qin Zhongtang.

The two Han leaders of the bandits on Shuangyu Island were all transferred away by Qin Zhongtang, which directly made the bandits on Shuangyu Island lose their backbone and fell into a state of leaderless.

Although there are Japanese and Frangji people, these outsiders obviously cannot command the Han forces.

Moreover, when the two leaders left Shuangyu Island, they also took hundreds of the most elite men as guards, which greatly weakened the defensive strength of Shuangyu Island.

The total resident population on Shuangyu Island is no more than a few thousand people. After hundreds of elites are lost, the remaining number of officers and soldiers is about the same, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the selected officers and soldiers.

In addition to diverting the tiger away from the mountain, Qin Zhongtang also created the unexpected attack opportunity, and even the attack plan was drawn up by Qin Zhongtang.

The terrain of Shuangyu Island is two islands sandwiching a waterway as a harbor, the Han people and Flangji people are on the east island, and the Japanese people are on the west island.

The plan Qin Zhongtang drew up was to block the entrance and exit of the waterway first after posing as a merchant ship approaching.

Then rockets were fired to burn the ships parked at the pier to prevent the bandits on the island from escaping overseas.Then shelled the water village, and then landed on the beach, first occupying the water village as a base.

The Japanese people in West Island don't care about it, anyway, after the boat is burned, the Japanese people can't get through.

Then continue to bombard the residential area of ​​the Folang Robots at the foot of the mountain. After the shelling is over, let Tong Shi tell the Folang Robots that this is a war between the Han people and has nothing to do with the Folang Robots. possessions and food.

If Frangji is obedient, a thousand officers and soldiers will be left to guard Frangji, and the rest of the officers and soldiers will follow the path and attack the mountain and flat ground.

Originally, there was a bandit camp standing guard on the path, but another internal response named Xu Hai opened the gate of the camp, allowing the officers and soldiers to easily take down the camp.

In the future, the bandits would have no fortifications to rely on, and the officers and soldiers would loot and kill the enemy along the houses, and the advance was very smooth.

In the end, the remaining two hundred remaining bandits all fled into Tianfei Palace and were closely surrounded by officers and soldiers.

At this point in the battle, although it is not completely over, it can be said that it has won a complete victory.

Lu Tong first told several soldiers: "You take two ferry boats, go to Dinghaiwei to report victory to Qin Zhongtang first!"

Then Lu Tong's eyes fell on the gate of Tianfei Palace again, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Concubine Tian is Mazu. Many of these sea merchants and pirates are from Fujian, so they brought in the belief of Mazu, and even built Tianfei Palace on Shuangyu Island.

As a Fujianese, Lu Ting also has a respect for Tianfei, so it is a bit embarrassing to see the bandits hiding in Tianfei Palace.

It could have been very simple, once the fire was set, the gangsters would have to come out and catch them without wanting to be burned to death.

But on the one hand, Lu Tong was very resistant to the burning of the Tianfei Palace, and on the other hand, Qin Zhongtang had issued an order not to set fire to the island, and try to keep the building intact.

There was no choice but to attack by force. Lu Tang waved his hand, let the sword and shield hand in front, and the spearman behind, and marched in line.

Fortunately, until now, the advantage is too great. Two thousand besieging two hundred is nothing more than a little more work, and the overall situation is irreversible.

After more than half an hour, the Tianfei Palace was also captured, and the remaining bandits were basically the most stubborn group, and they were basically killed because of their stubbornness.

In Dinghai Weicheng, Qin Zhongtang sat on the top of the city and watched the sea view, and the five hundred soldiers could only accompany Zhongtang to enjoy the sea breeze.

Qin Zhongtang also inscribed several poems on the city gate tower, but unfortunately no one appreciates and applauds.

For the sake of secrecy, all the soldiers did not know what Qin Zhongtang was waiting for here.

A sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the sea in the southeast direction and shouted: "There is a ferry coming from the sea!"

Qin Zhongtang's mood became tense all of a sudden. The battle of Shuangyu Island has completely deviated from the original historical track.

Although the advantage has been created as much as possible, and Lu Tong was transferred from Fujian, but the soldiers are unpredictable, who knows what will happen if they really fight?

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers who came to report the news by ferry brought good news, and they still only reported to Qin Zhongtang alone.

Qin Zhongtang looked at the sky and realized that it was a little late today, so he immediately ordered the officer in the army: "Go to sea tomorrow morning!"

It wasn't until the next day, after boarding the boat, that Qin Zhongtang revealed his destination: "Go to Shuangyu Island!"

Half a day later, Qin Zhongtang brought five hundred guards and arrived at the Shuangyu Island that he had been thinking about.

Lu Tong greeted Qin Zhongtang respectfully at Shuizhai. Maybe he could disrespect before the battle, but he must respect after the battle.

After all, whether he can be promoted to the commander of the capital and add a general soldier depends on how Qin Zhongtang writes the battle report to the court.

Qin Dewei stood on the shore, looked around, then looked up at the direction of the mountain, and nodded in satisfaction.There is no arson, and the buildings can continue to be used immediately.

Then he said to Lu Ting: "Where is the Folang robot? Go and see the Folang robot first."

Lu Tong was surprised. What he paid the least attention to were these Westerners who surrendered. Except for sending troops to guard the settlements, they didn't take it seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, after Qin Zhongtang came to Shuangyu Island, the first thing he did was to see Fu Langji.

Had Qin Zhongtang never seen a red-haired ghost before and wanted to see something new?

While thinking, he brought Qin Zhongtang to the foot of the mountain, and drove all the Fulangji people to the small square in front of the church, so that Qin Zhongtang could see enough.

The person who led a thousand officers and soldiers to guard the Fulang machine was none other than Xu Shi'an, Third Master Xu, who also participated in the military operation to attack Shuangyu Island.

But Lu Tong knew that this was something to be gilded, so he arranged for Mr. Xu a simple job of guarding the prisoners of the Frang machine.

Qin Dewei saw from a long distance, a tall and burly woman, tugging on Xu Laosan's sleeve rudely.

Seeing this old woman, Qin Dewei suddenly understood in his mind why the youngest Xu's evaluation of Fu Langji's woman was "like a man".

Too lazy to pay attention to Xu Laosan's mess, Qin Zhongtang looked around at these Flang robots in front of the church.This is the first time Qin Dewei has seen a Western Caucasian since crossing.

Westerners in this era are generally not tall, and their nutrition seems to be inferior to that of Han people.

Although many Western adventurers are robbers and executioners, Qin Dewei has to admire the adventurous spirit of these people.

Under today's technological conditions, it is difficult to accept the spirit of sailing tens of thousands of miles across the sea to grab territory or engage in trade, and grab Daming all the way from Europe.

There are about several hundred Folangji people on Shuangyu Island. Although they are the fewest of the three forces, they can still occupy a stable place by virtue of several strengths.

In addition to having a lot of silver in hand, there are two other advantages: advanced ships and sharp artillery.It is precisely because of these conditions that Frangji can gain a foothold on Shuangyu Island.

But now, the Frang Robot sea ship was forcibly burned by the government army who took advantage of the dusk attack, so these Frang Robot lost their greatest support and surrendered happily.

Qin Zhongtang's shogunate didn't have any generals who could speak French, but they dug a few from Guangdong last year, which came in handy at this time.

"I say one sentence, you translate one sentence, and the translation must not be wrong!" Qin Zhongtang ordered Tong Shi.

While listening to Qin Zhongtang's words, Tongshi translated: "This is Qin Dewei, the deputy prime minister of the Ming Empire, governor of the East China Sea, and Earl of Fengzhou!"

This self-introduction title is very aristocratic, and it immediately calmed down these Frangji people.

"Earl Qin said that this war is a war between the Ming Empire government and the anti-government armed forces, and has nothing to do with you Frangji people!"

"Earl Qin said that he will authorize the merchants of Ming Dynasty to form a special company on Shuangyu Island, and grant taxation and judicial power!"

"Earl Qin said, to respect the legal property of your Frangji people, the premise is that you will not violate the judicial power of the special company."

"Earl Qin said that he needs shipbuilding materials, and he can hire relevant talents with a high salary."

"Earl Qin said that the Incas you massacred in America are descendants of Han people who migrated to America thousands of years ago. My Ming Empire is very displeased with this and reserves the right to declare war!"

Qin Dewei talked a lot in bits and pieces, even commented a few words on Catholicism and the Reformation Movement, ridiculed the Holy See a few words, and then left in the astonishment of Franz.

Among the Ming people present, one counted as one, and Qin Zhongtang's admiration for the five-body cast was indescribable.

We all know that Qin Zhongtang is good at fooling people, but he didn't expect that even in front of the Folang robot who doesn't understand the language and culture, he can make up nonsense to fool the Folang robot.

Lu Tong chased after Qin Zhongtang and asked, "What should we do next? The two leaders of Shuangyu Island are still on the other island, and there is still a group of Japanese on West Island."
