lazy tang

Chapter 544

Wu Shizhen quickly reviewed his life, and finally he decided that he had no braids for Yun Hao to catch.Since there is no braid, there is no need to compromise with a little bastard like Yun Hao.What's more, the jade pendant is a family heirloom.The things passed down in the family are the sign of the head of the family, and it is the symbol of the family that must be passed down from generation to generation.I will give it to you if you want it?

"Ying Gong! You should think about it, the previous messes are nothing. This time, I am completely thinking about the tens of thousands of people in Yangzhou!" Yun Hao said in a leisurely manner.

Wu Shiyu carefully looked at Yunhao's expression, it didn't look like he was joking.Yangzhou people?Wu Shiyi thought back on the things he had done since he took office, and it seemed that there was nothing against the rules.

"Mr. Chu! Say it face to face, if what you said really concerns the entire Wu family, I won't be stingy with a piece of jade pendant!" If it was Lao Niu, Lao Cheng would scold the little bastard now.But Wu Shixuan didn't dare, he was just an outdated prince, and he definitely didn't dare to confront a dignitary like Yunhao!

"There is a bustling market near Leitang, you know!"

"I know! How?"

"The scouts under my commander's tent discovered that there are some strange things around Leitang. For example, an inn was occupied by people, and it was full of Japanese people, more than a hundred people." Yun Hao looked at Wu Shixuan and said.

"It's just a hundred or so Japanese. Are they going to make trouble? Don't worry about the chief executive. Although most of the soldiers in my Yangzhou border have been transferred to Yuezhou, there are still more than a thousand soldiers. It is enough to wipe out more than a hundred Japanese. !" Wu Shiyu looked at Yunhao, his tone full of confidence.No matter how one thousand soldiers of the Tang government deal with a hundred Japanese who came from afar, the Japanese will not be able to please them.

"If there were a hundred Japanese people, Yun would not open his mouth to ask Ying Gong for the family heirloom jade pendant. But what if there are thousands of Japanese people?" Yun Hao said with a smile.

"This is Yangzhou, not Quanzhou. Why are there so many Japanese? Do they dare to come to Yangzhou to make trouble?" Wu Shixuan's eyes widened with horror, and it was not surprising that there were hundreds of Japanese.After all, Yangzhou is also a prosperous place for business, and it is not uncommon for Japanese people to do business.If it was Japanese pirates, they only dared to rob the coast, so why did they come to Yangzhou, which is relatively inland?

"As long as Ying Gong sends people to investigate secretly, we will know that there may be more than a thousand Japanese people who have sneaked in. There are many flat-headed Japanese ships moored on the Yangtze River. It seems that there is no problem at all with the size of three to five thousand people. Now, Ying Do you still think I'm scaring you?"

Hearing Yun Hao's words, Wu Shiyi's hairs stood on end.Li Xiaogong was attacked in Yuezhou, which made Li Er understand a truth.Those Guanzhong landlubbers under him are not suitable for Jiangnan water network operations.Helpless, Li Er could only mobilize the Jiangnan garrison.Yangzhou is naturally one of the places to be recruited!Datang and Ben didn't have the concept of coastal defense, and pirates were not so rampant these days.Most of them are plundering merchant ships on the sea. I haven't heard of any pirates that are strong enough to go ashore and attack towns, especially the bustling towns like Yangzhou.

Could it be that Japanese people really dare to attack Yangzhou?If it is a scale of thousands of people, it will be difficult.You know, I only have more than a thousand soldiers in my hands.The consequences...!It's hard to imagine how angry Li Er would be after being robbed of everything by the Japanese.Not to mention Ying Guogong's hat, I'm afraid the head is not stable with the hat on.Yun Hao was not joking when he said he saved the lives of his whole family.

"Don't worry, the Japanese people didn't expect Yun's army to go south suddenly. They will wait until Zuo Wuwei's army is launched before they start. Ying Guogong can send his men to investigate secretly, but don't startle the snake. Otherwise, they will move immediately Let's start, although they will be wiped out in the end. But thinking about it, Ying Gong can't explain Yangzhou's heavy loss to His Majesty. Anyway, I have military exploits on both sides. Yangzhou is not my fief."

Needless to say to Yun Hao, Wu Shixuan had already winked at Bie Jia.Don't fight Xue Shou and immediately ran out like a rabbit!
"I don't know how Duke Chu saw that these people are Japanese?" Although Xue Shou hadn't received the report yet, Wu Shixuan knew it.Yunhao would not lie about such a matter, but he was still curious, how did Yunhao find out that these people were Japanese, and they were Japanese in disguise.

"Hahaha! It's very simple. Your life in the south of the Yangtze River is far from being difficult. The feng shui in the south of the Yangtze River also supports people. How can there be so many dark-skinned people. In addition, selling and selling. The most important thing in business is to shout. How many people do you look at? A dumb businessman? It’s not uncommon for merchants to bring some swords when they go out these days. But the horizontal swords of our Tang Dynasty are straight swords. When have you ever seen a curved horizontal sword?

It just so happens that the commander-in-chief knows that the Japanese samurai swords are curved.Although their swordsmanship is called Kendo, the katana swords they use are all curved.Japanese samurai, no matter where they fight and who they fight, they use katana swords in their hands.So, I guess these people are Japanese.And it can be concluded that these people are not ordinary Japanese, they are Japanese warriors.

The samurai in Japan are not much different from our soldiers.However, they seldom work on weekdays, but are full-time warriors.Almost everyone learns kendo, if they really fight.Not to mention your soldiers, even Zuo Wuwei may not be able to take them down easily. "Yun Hao didn't lie to Wu Shixuan. Based on his knowledge, his understanding of the Japanese people should be very limited. It is impossible for the Yingyang Mansion team leader in Jinyang to know how fierce the Japanese warriors are. Yun Hao believes that his My mind is full of philistines and shit.

If it wasn't for him having a daughter of an emperor through the ages, maybe no one would remember the name Wu Shizhen.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Wu Shiyi's body, it happened so suddenly.As the governor of Jingzhou, I have to be reminded by a passing general about the affairs in my jurisdiction.This person has been thrown home. If this matter is true, Yun Hao will be accused of dereliction of duty, and he will wear the title of assassin to the end.

When the prince was fighting with King Qin, he didn't stand in line.The former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is now nothing more than a governor.There are many governors in the Tang Dynasty, but there is only one Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Wu family is unstoppably lonely.If the governor's official position is lost again, the Wu family will have nothing left except for an empty title.

With a long sigh, he called the old steward at home.Let him rush back home as quickly as possible, and ask his wife Yang to pack the family heirloom jade pendant in the best box and send it to the camp.

The old steward didn't know what happened to his family Alang, he only knew that Alang was very lonely now.Thinking of the relationship between my family and the Yun family, I felt that my Patriarch was being squeezed out by the Yun Family's Patriarch again.There is no way, he is a celebrity in front of His Majesty.The number one hero in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, myself, Alang...!Why……!
"What? Ah Lang is going to give the jade pendant to the Duke of Chu?" When Yang heard the news brought back by the old steward at home, she was so surprised that she could barely close her mouth from ear to ear.This jade pendant was carved from a whole piece of mutton fat jade, which has been passed down in the Wu family for no less than ten generations.It has become the symbol of the Patriarch, and it is actually going to be sent out today. .

"The old slave's face is not good when he sees A Lang, but the old slave can't listen to the discussion in the hall. So the old slave doesn't know what happened, but the old slave thinks that it must be the Duke of Chu who is openly oppressing our Wu family. He is gaining power now, A Lang must be There is no other way to do this." The old steward has stayed in the Wu family all his life, and when he saw the Patriarch being squeezed out like this, he was so anxious that he cried.

"Old Fu! There's nothing you can do about it. Take the jade pendant. Go find a sandalwood box and put it in...!" Thinking of the situation at home, Yang's nose ached and shed tears.

The Wu family is really in decline, being bullied to the top of their heads, but they can only knock out their teeth and swallow them with blood in their stomachs.Among the children in the family, only Wu Yuanshuang is considered outstanding.But they were brutally chopped into pieces in the street, and the rest of the children were all dudes.At a young age, he did nothing but drinking and prostitutes.Wen cannot carry a pen, and Wu cannot hold a knife.Has the ability to spend money like water, but not the ability to earn a penny.This martial arts family is finished!I feel sorry for my two daughters, the eldest is ten years old and the youngest is only seven years old.

One day the Wu family will fall, how will they live in the future.Thinking of the things outside the family, Yang cried more and more sadly.

"Mother, don't cry. Don't cry!" Wu Shun took a handkerchief and wiped away tears for his mother.I and my sister Wu Mei heard it just now.Dad was bullied by the Duke of Chu outside, and he was forced to steal the heirloom jade pendant.The young Wu Shun couldn't do anything about it. The older brothers in the family could do nothing but drink and bully him.He also asked his mother for money all day long, and scolded her if he didn't give it.Growing up in such a family, Wu Shun was as weak as a docile rabbit.She had no choice but to comfort her mother.

"Hmph! The surnamed Yun bullies our family. It's all because the brothers are useless and can't kill him." Wu Shun was comforting his mother when a baby voice came from outside the door.Frightened, Yang stood up, stretched out her hand and hugged her second daughter, Wu Mei, into her arms.He poked his head out and looked outside.Fortunately, this is the back residence of the samurai family, and no outsiders come in and out.If outsiders hear about it, they don't know what will happen.

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." Yang hurriedly covered Wu Mei's mouth.This second young lady of the Wu family has been fearless since she was a child.

"Meiniang, don't talk like that. Girl, what are you talking about all day long?" Elder sister Wu Shun was also helping the old lady reprimand her younger sister!

"In the first place, it's because our older brothers are useless. I heard that the second elder brother is very powerful, but he was killed by that Yun. When I grow up, I will kill this Yun sooner or later." Wu Mei She said viciously, if Yunhao was in front of her eyes, she would definitely rush up and take a bite.

Since she was a child, she heard that she had a very powerful brother who was killed by the Yun family, even though she had never seen that brother.But it doesn't prevent Wu Mei from imagining him as a great hero.The death of her heroic elder brother must have been caused by the mean and dirty tricks of the Yun family, Wu Mei had always thought so since she was a child.

"Stop talking nonsense, go back to your room quickly. Otherwise, mother will spank your ass." Yang glanced at the stubborn Wu Mei and said sharply.

Helpless, Wu Mei could only lower her head and walk obediently back to her room.Seeing her daughter leaving, Yang let out a long sigh of relief.This girl has been like this since she was a child, what can she do when she grows up.

But she didn't realize that on Wu Mei's drooping face, there was infinite hatred gushing out of those eyes.

Yun Hao took the pine box Wu Shixuan handed over, opened it and took out a palm-sized jade pendant.Just throw the box away!Such a precious thing is packed in such a broken box.It's still made of pine wood, and it looks like it's perfunctory for Lao Tzu.

The palm-sized jade pendant is round and round, like a piece of coagulated goat's milk.Holding it in my hand, a warm feeling came from the palm.Close to the nose, there is also a seemingly absent aroma drilling into the nose.It is indeed a good thing, and this is the first time I have seen a jade pendant that can emit fragrance.

Wu Shiyi sat on the lower seat, his face was ashen.The news that Xue Yin brought back completely confirmed Yun Hao's statement.There were indeed many Japanese people in Yangzhou, the number even exceeded 1000, not the [-] that Yun Hao said.

Some of these people are directly dressed by Japanese people, while others are dressed in Tang people's attire.But most of these people don't understand Chinese, so they don't speak like dumb.It seems that these people often go to the sea, except for the fishy smell of the sea.Dark skin is also one of their characteristics.

In fact, most people in the sea wear bamboo hats, and the skin on their bodies is not all sun-baked.The salty sea breeze played a big role in it.This kind of blackness is different from the blackness of being sunburned, but the kind of blackness printed on the skin.Oddly, none of their skins are actually rough.On the contrary, it is a little delicate, and I don't know why!
"Duke Chu! The matter has reached this point, and the Yangzhou garrison can no longer control it. The only one who can help Yangzhou now is the Duke Chu's Zuo Wuwei army. Please also look at the [-] people in Yangzhou, Duke Chu, Give them a hand." Wu Shizhen stood up and bowed to salute, his face was full of compassion and sorrow.

Just can't see the face of this old guy, obviously he can't handle things on the ground.Why do we have to talk about 10,000+ Yangzhou people!But having said that, as the head of the Jiangnan Road Marching Army, I really can't stand by and watch.Yun Hao shuddered when he thought about what it would be like for Japanese people to go crazy and kill people.

"I will report the matter here to His Majesty in its entirety. I will not add fuel or jealousy. You know, this is my duty. If I don't step on you, it is already for the sake of being a minister in the same palace. Come on. There haven’t been any major incidents yet, and it’s not irreversible. After this time, you have to be more careful. Don’t think that if Yangzhou is far away from the sea, no pirates will attack you.”
