The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 148 Vanguard, win

Chapter 146

In the east of Changle City, in the hall of a dilapidated house, the soil began to loosen first,
Then a strong hand pushed the mud-covered plank away from below, revealing a dark hole,

Gan Hui was the first to climb out of the cave, quickly looked around, and found no threat, so he waved to the people below.

Soon, a group of heavily armed rural guards came out from the ground,

Everyone looked very excited, and there seemed to be a fire burning in their eyes.

After learning about Zheng Du's deployment, Lu Changle quickly formulated countermeasures.

The people in the city were evacuated, and several large caves for hiding soldiers were dug in a few remote places in the city that were not easy to attract attention.

Let people hide in the Tibetan soldier cave in advance.

Taking advantage of Zheng Jiajun's pride in underestimating the enemy, he intentionally provoked Zheng Zhenchuan and led him to attack the city.
Zheng Zhenchuan was eager to make a fortune and made meritorious deeds, and led his subordinates to force their way into Changle City, which happened to fall into Lu Changle's trap.

At the same time, members of the rural protection teams in the west, north, and south of the city also crawled out of the Tibetan soldier cave.
Gan Hui in the east of the city, Zheng Qijun in the south of the city, Zheng Qiyi in the west of the city, and Lu Changwei in the north of the city are each in charge of an area.
The commanding heights and important positions in the area are marked, and everyone quietly began to touch their targets,

Gan Hui tiptoed to a corner of the street and observed four soldiers dozing off. With a shake of his hands, two daggers glistened in his hands. He rushed forward, and the two daggers accurately stabbed the The hearts of the two soldiers, they both let out a muffled grunt and collapsed to the ground,

The remaining two soldiers were startled awake. As soon as they opened their eyes, Gan Hui's two powerful hands pinched the necks of the two men, and lifted them up into the air with one powerful move.
The two struggled in mid-air for a while, and soon kicked their feet, and soon died.

He wanted to call out to his companions, but his throat was stuck, and he couldn't cry out no matter what, and was crushed to death.

Gan Hui threw the two of them on the ground, turned his head and said in a low voice, "Release the pigeons immediately."

A carrier pigeon took off from the city and flew directly to the pier.

Before the time for half a cup of tea came, Lu Jinyuan received the news that the city was ready, turned his head and said to Lu Changhe and Lu Changsheng, "Action."

The two agreed and quickly retreated.

Soon, under the cover of the sound of the waves, two teams of rural security guards dressed in black, with crossbows on their backs and sharp knives in their mouths, dived into the sea and swam towards the direction where the boat stopped.
Few of those who live by the sea can't swim, and most of them are very good at swimming.

Sleeping on the boat is so rickety that it's hard to sleep, how can it be as safe as sleeping on the ground?

Two or three people were left to guard each boat. In order to prevent the boat from running away, Lu Jinyuan tried to control the boat as much as possible before doing anything.

The primary target is the 26 big ships.

The wind is a bit strong today, and the waves are a bit anxious. If you don't listen carefully, you won't hear the occasional muffled hum.

Lu Jinyuan has been waiting anxiously.

"Enemy attack, someone stole the ship"

Suddenly, there was a scream from the sea, followed by several warning sounds,
Someone is ringing the alarm bell,

Soon, after a scream, the alarm bell stopped, and it should be the people from the rural protection team who took action.

"Enemy attack, hurry up"

"There are thieves on board, brothers, meet the enemy"

For a while there were screams, screams, and warnings. When Lu Changwei and the others saw that things had failed, they stopped covering up and cleaned up the guards on the ship as quickly as possible.

Liu Xing, the head of a hundred households, jumped up in shock. When he heard the warning sound, he didn't even bother to put on his armor. He drew out his knife with a swipe, and shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking, brothers, follow me to kill the enemy."

Some people really dare the Fujian Navy's idea.

Liu Xing rushed out of Yingkou with dozens of confidantes, just in time to see several fires in the dark night ahead, and faintly heard the sound of sizzle,

For a moment, Liu Xing's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Cannon, spread out!"

The look of the fire is too familiar, it is the fuse of the artillery burning,
From the faint light, the dark cannon body can still be seen faintly,
Where did the patrol team die? I don’t know if people set up artillery in the temporary camp.

Didn't the intelligence say that there are no thieves and bandits in Fuzhou Prefecture, and it is under the jurisdiction of a militia chief?
Could it be that the people from the militia targeted him?
Liu Xing didn't want to understand this question, because the time was too late, and the five Frang machine guns fired at the same time,
A shell exploded beside Liu Xing, killing Liu Xing who was still in his pajamas on the spot.
As soon as the cannon rang, Gan Hui waved his sword: "Kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The township protection team had been prepared a long time ago like a tiger descending the mountain, killing weapons and heading straight for the drunken Zheng Jiajun,
Many Zheng Jiajun were killed in their sleep,
For a moment, Changle City's killing sounds shook the sky, and the screams continued.
The navy is Zheng Zhilong's most important and most powerful armed force.
After the panic, many generals and leaders soon organized counterattacks,
To their desperation, the city seemed to be full of enemies,

A few Franc machine guns and firecrackers may suddenly appear on the street, mercilessly bombarding and killing the soldiers who have finally assembled,
When the team passed the street, the windows on the second floors on both sides opened one after another, and a sharp arrow shot down as if it had eyes.

Some people panicked and plunged into the pre-dug traps,

No one knew that so many people suddenly appeared in Changle County, which was empty and no one could be found.
Some people even imagined that their companions at the pier would come to the rescue, but they did not expect the sound of artillery to be heard from the pier.

The sound of shouting and killing, the clash of weapons, the screams, and the bombardment of artillery continued until a trace of white belly appeared in the sky before stopping.

Lu Changle, Second Uncle, Yang Zhengbao and Yang Xuan looked at the blood-stained morning glow in the sky while waiting for the result of the battle.

As the strength becomes stronger and stronger, the number of players under him increases,

Lu Changle didn't need to charge with a knife himself, and the people around him didn't allow Lu Changle to put himself in danger anymore.

As the battle entered its final stage, the results quickly came together:
Killed 730 and two enemies, and captured 760 and nine people.

Nineteen large ships and 28 small boats were seized,
Capture the bloody hand Zheng Tu and Zheng Zhenchuan alive, capture one head of a thousand households, four heads of a hundred households,

More than 170 pieces of various weapons were seized, including [-] and two firearms.
86 pieces of intact armor, 97 pieces of damaged armor, and more than [-] pieces of various cloth armor were seized.

There are countless firearms and gunpowder on warships, which have not been counted yet.

The rural protection team killed 79 people, injured 630 and 12 people, and [-] people were missing.
Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone five thousand well-trained sailors.

They can't be called navy divisions, it's more appropriate to call them Zheng Jiajun.

Lu Jinyuan said a little ashamedly: "General, it's all my fault. I let them run so many ships and lost many team members."

In this operation, Lu Changle valued those ships the most, and Lu Jinyuan volunteered to take over this task.

I didn't expect to prepare so well and let so many ships go.

"It's none of the captain's business, it's my fault." Lu Changsheng quickly shouldered the responsibility: "It's the people in my team who were accidentally discovered on board, so he yelled out and rang the bell to warn them, so they were prepared , ran so many boats at once.”

Seven large boats and nine small boats ran, two of which were the largest, and Lu Changsheng felt heartbroken thinking about it.

"Changsheng, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's because I didn't command it well." Lu Jinyuan said quickly.

If you do a few more preparations, the consequences will definitely be much better.

Lu Changle quickly persuaded: "Okay, okay, there is no need to argue, I never said that we must win all of them, I think it would be nice if you could win half of them, and now it has exceeded my expectations, if you feel like doing it this time If it’s not good enough, just think about it and do better next time.”

I am not an insatiable person, with the current results, Lu Changle is also satisfied.

"My son-in-law, we took down Zheng Du's vanguard, which is equivalent to cutting off one of his hands. What should we do now?" Yang Zhengbao asked with a serious face.

Take down the five thousand sailors, and there is no possibility of reconciliation with the Zheng family.

Victory is certainly something to be happy about, but what we have to do now is how to resist Zheng's crazy counterattack.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Zheng Group has 20 elite soldiers, which is definitely a colossus.

"Yes, patriarch." The second uncle also said solemnly: "We have to make plans early."

Lu Changle looked in the direction of Huaxing Mansion, and said calmly: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, I'm afraid he won't come."

To be strong, you must recruit troops,

To recruit troops, we must expand the territory. Only when the territory is large can we support the ever-increasing number of subordinates.
To expand the territory, there must be a battle with the Zheng Group,
If Zheng Zhilong and his main force are still in Fujian, Lu Changle must avoid their edge,
The status of the maritime hegemony in Southeast Asia was brought down by real swords and guns.
Lu Changle is really not afraid of an impulsive and incompetent Zheng Du.

Gan Hui cupped his hands and said, "The general is right. Soldiers will block you, and water will cover you with earth. Please tell me what to do now."

This battle was so enjoyable. The so-called invincible Fujian navy was wiped out like melons and vegetables. The feeling is so wonderful.

Lu Changle once again gave Gan Hui a big surprise.

Under Lu Changle's command, I haven't suffered a disadvantage yet.

The second uncle also nodded and said: "Brother Le, here are all my family members, what to do next, we are all up to you."

Yang Xuan's wonderful eyes fell on Lu Changle, and she almost became a little girl.

Lu Changle chuckled: "As long as we achieve the eight characters, Fuzhou Prefecture will be the place where Zheng Du will be buried."

"Don't be tricky, tell me quickly." Lu Jinyuan said angrily.

This brother Le is good at everything, but sometimes he likes to play tricks, saying half a sentence and hiding half a sentence,

Who in the clan has such a bright mind?

"Clean up the wall, break it into pieces," Lu Changle said confidently.

Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Lu Changle took the initiative to explain: "Zheng Du is a small-minded, arrogant and vengeful person. With his personality, he must be furious when he heard that Zheng Zhenchuan failed and five thousand sailors fell into our hands. Urge the army to come and clean us up."

"According to the information I got, those ships are the limit that Zheng Du can get. Most of the ships let Zheng Zhilong retreat to Jilongshan. Now we have more ships and theirs are few. Zheng Du will not take risks, he must leave. Overland"

"Don't look at Zheng Du's nearly 3 people, but in fact only the eight thousand cavalry are the main force. In order to avenge Zheng Zhenchuan, Zheng Du led his subordinates to attack us as soon as possible. If they are in a hurry, their team will be stretched. We just need to send A team of surprise soldiers will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if they cut off his food supply."

"They couldn't bring in food and grass, so we took away everything that could be eaten, and didn't leave a grain of food for them, and we starved them to death when they were hungry."

Speaking of this, Lu Changle looked in the direction of Min County, and said with a sneer: "We evacuated all the people to the east of the Min River, and used the Min River to block their way, and the west of the Min River is our battlefield. They have to use the terrain to constantly harass them, and then eat them bit by bit.”

Old ancestor, if there is a spirit in the sky, just watch it,
This time Zheng Du's head must be taken.

"That's right." Gan Hui was the first to agree: "The teacher surnamed Zheng is going on an expedition. We are waiting for work at ease, and we will definitely catch him by surprise."

Yang Zhengbao also agreed: "The Zheng family has lost everyone's hearts, and this is our territory. No one is more familiar with this place than us. The right time, place and people are in our hands. This battle must be won."

"Do you really want to move them all away? The movement is too big." The second uncle said nervously.

In order to invite you into the urn, all the people in Changle City have to evacuate, and the second uncle helps coordinate and evacuate.

There are more than 3000 households in the city, so many people, property, old people, women, children, etc., dragging the family and the family, almost exhausting the second uncle,
Luckily, Lu Changle was awarded the title of General Suppressing Thieves, and he still had a powerful rural protection team in his hands, so he was successfully placed in several places in Min County and Lianjiang.
If the population of Fuzhou Prefecture west of the Minjiang River were to be evacuated to the other side of the river, the amount of work would be too great.

Some old people love their homes and refuse to leave, saying that they will die in their own fields if they want to die.
It doesn't matter what you say, and in the end, you forcefully walk away.

"If you make a big deal, you don't care about the details, move it, move it all, and those who violate the order will be punished as a thief." Lu Changle said with a serious face.

With Zheng Du's temper, he would definitely not let those innocent people go, keeping them here would be harming them.

When necessary, we must have enough courage.

"Understood, the old man must try his best." The second uncle nodded and said.

Lu Changle cupped his hands and said, "Second Uncle has worked hard, don't worry, I will send someone to help, and I will also do more publicity on the Minnan Express."

After discussing it, everyone split up and started to prepare for Zheng Du's arrival.

Huaxing Mansion, Putian County Government,

Zheng Du's eyes were red, and he smashed everything that could be smashed on the desk,
The confidants found several beauties in Putian, and Zheng Du was about to enjoy them after he was full of wine and food.

Unexpectedly, some soldiers came to report that the five thousand naval forces led by Zheng Zhenchuan were wiped out, and even the warships were robbed.
Zheng Du was so angry that he was furious on the spot, smashing everything he saw,
Even the seal of the county magistrate was thrown out, hitting the shoulder of a subordinate who was kneeling on the ground, the blood stained his sleeves red, and the subordinate did not dare to move.
Everyone knew that Zheng Du, who was in a rage, had better not be provoked, or he would die miserably.

Zheng Du cursed while smashing:
"Waste, waste, Zheng Zhenchuan, this waste, can't even take down a small county town"

"Nineteen large ships and 28 small boats were lost just like that. What do you eat?"

"5000 people can't even handle a group of mud legs, what a waste"

"You little bastard surnamed Lu, you are so courageous that you even dare to kill the members of the Zheng family. I will cut you into pieces."

"Why are you still in a daze, go, pass my order, everyone will set up the camp immediately, the target is Changle County, I will kill Changle County without leaving any chickens and dogs behind"
