prosperous age

Chapter 90

Hearing that the adults in Nanjing didn't give them permission, Wei Guangde was still very surprised, but he didn't open his mouth to explain to him at this time.

Among the few people in the room, the one who really knew the reason was Zhang Shigui, and Wu Dong probably guessed something. As for Zhang Hongfu, his expression was similar to that of Wei Guangde at the moment.

However, Wei Guangde's thoughts jumped to Zhejiang at this moment, and he asked immediately: "Brother, since you went to the front line this time, you should know what's going on there now."

Wei Guangde thought that the Southeastern Japanese plague was very serious in his impression, but now it has been two months, and although the folks have begun to spread this matter, as the guards, they seem to have not seen more news until now .

Earlier, Wei Wencai had already talked about the topics they were most concerned about, and now it's everyone's turn to pay attention to the losses suffered by the Japanese pirates who went ashore and robbed Zhejiang.

Wei Wencai was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "The whole eastern Zhejiang is in chaos.

The Japanese pirates landed in Ningbo, Taizhou, and Wenzhou. They burned, killed and looted all the way. Many towns and castles were breached, and several county towns were also destroyed. It is unknown whether it will not kill Hangzhou. "

"There are a lot of things brought back this time, and the Japanese pirates probably took away more."

Zhang Hongfu interjected and said that he was also present when the delivery was made. Although the dozen or so boats were not fully loaded, he also knew that a lot of goods were unloaded in Zhenjiang and Yingtianfu, and a lot of things were unloaded. Selling all of them may cost more than two or 30,000 taels of silver.

"I don't know about this, but I think more people must have been robbed."

Wei Wencai thought about it before he said: "I heard that when they arrived in Dinghai County, the Japanese pirates had been looting there for more than ten days, the good things must have been snatched early in the morning, and the rest was inconvenient to carry.

The gold and silver seized this time was very small, only two boxes.

By the way, Guangde, this time you proposed to let your uncle and the others bring the bowl guns. If it weren’t for that batch of guns that killed the group led by the Japanese pirates, I’m afraid there will be a hand-to-hand fight, and many of us will die here. people. "

"Oh, all right."

Hearing this, Wei Guangde just smiled.

The power of cannons is unknown to future generations.

That is to say, there are really no other good things in the Qianhusuo, and the cannons dismantled from these warships can barely make do. If there are mother and child cannons, that is, Flang machine, or Hongyi cannons, who would use them.

Those bowl-mouth guns are all older than Wei Guangde.

At the beginning, Qianhusuo collected more than a dozen bowl-mouth guns from Baihusuo below, but after picking and picking them, they found seven guns that were still usable, at least dared to be fired.

The remaining bowl-mouth guns were not issued any more, they were all made of copper, and were directly put into the warehouse of Qianhusuo.

"By the way, last time my family's soldiers only talked about the record of our Qianhusuo, and asked about the group of Japanese pirates who fought against the guards over there. The soldiers couldn't explain clearly. Have you asked this time?"

Wu Dong also asked.

Last time, the soldier was able to talk about his personal experience. When he asked about the battle between the brigade and the Japanese pirates, he just asked three questions, but he knew that he won in the end and the Japanese pirates also ran away.

"Hey, it's like playing a house. Luzhou Wei and Anqing Wei didn't hold back, and they were beaten back and forth. Fortunately, our Jiujiang Wei and Chuzhou Wei went up faster, otherwise it would be hard to say whether we won or lost."

Wei Wencai may recall the scene when he heard that, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I heard that it almost became a competition at that time, who could run faster, and there were several commanders of the guards running ahead on horseback. Behind them are the soldiers of Luzhou Guard and Anqing Guard, then the Japanese Bandit Brigade, and finally the soldiers of Chuzhou Guard and our Jiujiang Guard.”

"Ha ha ha ha."

The few people were quite funny and laughed along with them. Who would have thought that such a scene would become like this when the brigade besieged the Japanese pirates.

"Turning back and repelling the Japanese pirates, the report is a strategy of trying to catch them. Weary our troops with the Japanese pirates, and then encircled them. Then our army's plan succeeded and defeated the Japanese pirates who wanted to invade Shaoxing Mansion."

Wei Wencai continued: "But don't say it, I heard from the guards that among the gang of Japanese pirates, those dozens of dwarfs were real Japanese, and they were really capable of fighting. They were besieged by thousands of people, and they were allowed to run away and killed. ten or so.

The gang that my uncle and my father fought were also elite Japanese pirates, but most of them were fake Japanese, and there were only a few real Japanese, all of whom were old bandits.

It's just that our people advanced to the town, so we hid most of the Japanese pirates' belongings left in the town first, and the other guards got very little this time, and it was really hard to carry, so they sent a letter asking us to transport them over there. Walk.

Later, when we were going to set the sea, we also went there first, and chased directly to the beach. We also confiscated a lot of things along the way, and brought them back along the way this time. "

"The guard didn't send any troops to help. I remember that they asked the guard commander for help before the battle."

Wu Dong put away his smile and spoke again.

"At that moment, they had already started to run back. Who would turn back to support? Commander Wei didn't even know that the Japanese pirates behind him were also coming up. If they knew, they would run faster."

Wei Wencai shook his head, "This time the Zhedong Guards were basically defeated, and we won the direct battle with the Japanese pirates.

Dinghaiwei suffered the worst loss. Less than a thousand people fled into the capital city. I heard that the Haimen guards in Taizhou Prefecture suffered a lot. They lost Huangyan County directly. Fucheng.

In Wenzhou Prefecture, Leqing suffered a disaster, and Puqi Shouyu Qianhu Office was destroyed, but other places were fine. "

"When are they coming back?"

Wei Guangde asked the question he wanted to ask the most, don’t just look at what Jiujiang Guard and the other three guards can do to defeat the Japanese pirates, just transfer them to Eastern Zhejiang, where they will often be attacked by Japanese pirates in the future. , but there is no stable life.

"I don't know, the higher-ups haven't made a decision yet."

Wei Wencai still shook his head at this question, "When I was in the Duke's Mansion in Nanjing, I heard that at the beginning of April, the Tazi Alta Department went to Liaodong Xinxing Fort again, and our army suffered heavy losses. One commander died and there were still a few Hundreds of households.

It is said that now the capital has started to suffer from headaches caused by the southern and northern captives. In the past, the Japanese pirates cleaned up as soon as they said they would clean up. This time Zhejiang was disturbed by the Japanese pirates, and a large number of guards suffered great losses in the battle.

However, the Duke always said that he would help at critical times. This time our people did not embarrass him, at least we won a fight, otherwise we would not dare to speak in the capital.

Now the man in the capital is furious because the accident happened in the north and south at the same time, which interrupted his Qingxiu. "

Seeing Wei Wencai's appearance, Zhang Shigui just chuckled a few times, and then turned his attention to Wei Guangde, "Guangde, you have to work hard in this college exam, uncle can wait to drink your celebration wine."
