My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 391 Hanging Mountain Island

Fanzi from Dongchang kept monitoring the group of monks who were going to Zhoushan, while Zhu Zhanhe sat in the Dinghaiwei Commander's Mansion, waiting patiently for news.

"By the way, what are my elder brothers looking for?"

Zhu Zhanhe and others were anxious, so he diverted his attention and asked Cao Lei.

Since Zhu Zhanji separated from him at the pier, Zhu Zhanhe has never seen Zhu Zhanji again, and he doesn't know what the other party is doing?
"The day before yesterday I met an acquaintance of Jin Yiwei. The grandson passed Liu Mian and reused his commander Wang Zhi. Now Jin Yiwei is scattered, mainly investigating Pingshan Island in Zhoushan and Xiangshan County, two places that were raided by Japanese pirates. At the same time, contact the merchants going out to sea and ask them about the Japanese pirates."

Cao Lei replied.

"At the end of the day, it seems that he still firmly believes that the gang of pirates are Japanese pirates!"

Zhu Zhanhe shook his head when he heard the words. With Zhu Zhanji's wisdom, he shouldn't have made such a stupid decision. Unfortunately, jealousy made him lose the most basic judgment.

"Report~"

At this moment, a fan rushed over and reported loudly: "My lord, the group of monks went to Xuanshan Island by boat. There is a Xuanshan Temple on the island, and they have already entered the temple!"

"Xuanshan Island? Bring the map!"

Zhu Zhanhe ordered, and at the same time sent someone to invite Zhou Zhong over. After all, he is a local snake and knows the situation of Zhoushan Islands best.

Soon the map was laid out on the table, and Zhou Zhong was invited over.

Zhu Zhanhe found the location of Xuanshan Island, and immediately pointed to the location of the island and asked Zhou Zhong: "General Zhou, please help us introduce the situation of Xuanshan Island!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Zhong agreed, organized his language and said.

"Xuanshan Island is at the southernmost part of the Zhoushan Islands, adjacent to Liuheng Island. Its area is not large. There are cliffs everywhere on the island, and the terrain is very dangerous, so it is called Xuanshan Island..."

Following Zhou Zhong's narration, Zhu Zhanhe and the others finally learned the details of Xuanshan Island.

Although Xuanshan Island is not big, but due to the dangerous terrain, there was a guard post on the island when there was no sea ban. Later, after the sea ban, the guard post on the island was withdrawn, and it has not been restored now.

The Xuanshan Temple on Xuanshan Island is a relatively ancient temple. When the incense was at its peak, there were hundreds of monks living in the temple.

But later, because of the sea ban, the monks in the temple were all moved to the inland, so the Xuanshan Temple was abandoned. However, after the opening of the sea, the major temples in the Zhoushan Islands began to revive. Some monks crossed the sea and entered the island. Repairs began.

"Although I often pass by Xuanshan Island, I have never been to Xuanshan Temple, and I don't know the details of the temple, but it is probably similar to other temples in the Zhoushan Islands. Say now."

Finally, Zhou Zhong continued to introduce.

Zhoushan Archipelago is a sacred place of Buddhism, and there are Buddhist temples on most of the islands. Therefore, after the opening of the sea, many monks rushed to the sea to occupy the temples on the island first. Now some big temples have recovered.

"How many monks are there in Xuanshan Temple now?"

Zhu Zhanhe's heart suddenly moved, and he asked again immediately.

Zhou Zhong really couldn't answer this question, after all, he had never been to Xuanshan Temple.

Cao Lei immediately sent his subordinates to investigate, but the news did not come back until the next morning.

"My lord, although there is no exact number, it seems that there are no less than a hundred monks in the Xuanshan Temple, and there is a mountain road behind the temple that leads directly to the sea."

Cao Lei reported the information he had just sent to Zhu Zhanhedao.

"There are hundreds of monks in Xuanshan Temple!"

Zhou Zhong next to him was also taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately exclaimed.

"This is definitely not normal. Even the largest Fayu Temple on Putuo Mountain has only a few dozen monks. How can a Xuanshan Temple have more monks than Fayu Temple?"

"I understand!"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly slapped the table, and then looked at Zhou Zhongdao with piercing eyes.

"General Zhou, what did you use to distinguish Japanese pirates from ordinary pirates?"

"It must be the Japanese. After all, the clothes, weapons and hairstyles of the Japanese are very peculiar, and you can tell it at a glance!"

Zhou Zhong replied without thinking.

"Yes, Japanese people are very easy to distinguish, but clothes and weapons are very easy to camouflage. Han people can also wear Japanese clothes and hold Japanese weapons, but their hairstyles are not easy to change. But if they shave their heads and wear Put on a wig!"

Zhu Zhanhe sneered at the end.

The Japanese have a strange hair style, and generally shaved the top of their heads, which is called Yuedai head, which is said to be convenient for wearing helmets on the battlefield.

"It makes sense. If those pretending to be Japanese pirates shaved their heads, then dressing up as monks would be more effective in deceiving people. After all, no one would have thought that the vicious Japanese pirates would hide in a pure place of Buddhism!"

Cao Lei also slapped his hands in surprise at this time.

"General Zhou, please gather your troops and surround Xuanshan Island. No matter whether the monks on the island are pretending to be Japanese pirates or not, you can't let go!"

Zhu Zhanhe immediately gave an order.

"The last will obey!"

Zhou Zhong immediately agreed, and strode away immediately. After a while, he gathered all the troops and was ready to set off at any time.

Cao Lei also ordered the Dongchang fans to keep a close eye on Xuanshan Island, and to report any changes on the island, and at the same time not to startle them.

However, just when Zhu Zhanhe led Cao Lei, Zhou Zhong and others were about to board the ship, suddenly Jin Yiwei came galloping on horseback and shouted loudly: "Under the order of Taisun, Ding Haiwei will be recruited to station at Putuo Island!"

Zhu Zhanhe frowned when he heard the words, what the hell is Zhu Zhanji doing, why did he send Haiwei to Putuo Island for no reason?
"Go back and tell my elder brother, I have recruited Dinghai Guard, let him transfer to another guard!"

Zhu Zhanhe directly drove back the Jin Yiwei who reported the letter, and then boarded the boat with Zhou Zhong and others, and headed towards Xuanshan Island in a mighty manner.

However, just as their fleet left Dinghaiwei and passed Putuo Island, they saw a big Ming navy coming towards them, and there was a person standing on the leading warship, which was Zhu Zhanji.

"Second brother, where are you going?"

Zhu Zhanji stood at the bow of the boat and asked Zhu Zhanhe with a cold expression.

"Brother, why are you here, did you find the traces of the Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"It's okay to tell you, I just received news that the Japanese pirates' next target is likely to be Putuo Island, so I deployed troops to take strict precautions!"

Zhu Zhanji said coldly, he sent someone to adjust Haiwei, but Zhu Zhanhe took the lead, which made him quite annoyed, so he came to stop him specially.

"The Japanese pirates are only a few hundred people. Brother, you should be behind Guanhaiwei. It is enough to defend Putuo Island. I have something to do, so I will leave!"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't bother to explain, he bowed his hands after speaking, and ordered Zhou Zhong to move on.
