control the heavens

Chapter 29
The Songshan School is now the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Schools, and almost all of them use swords, but Vulture and White-headed Immortal have practiced sword skills, and it seems that their level is not low. It is conceivable that these two people are in an embarrassing situation in Songshan, but, Zuo Lengchan is ambitious, and he cherishes talents, and his ability to control people is also extremely high, so he never treats these two people coldly.
However, the rest of the eunuchs, maybe they had that intention, maybe they were ordered by Zuo Lengchan secretly, maybe they also know the way of being an official, and their status is not much different, but the other kind of people can't do special things, even if they are second-generation disciples, although they say Needless to say, but the strange expression in his eyes is also the reason for the close relationship between the two of them.
Now, the bald eagle saw that the vulture was killed by Tang Han, as if his own brother was killed, his eyes turned red, but he was hit by a sword, and the pain was so great that it was difficult for him to attack Tang Han. His scarlet eyes looked at Tang Han with great hatred.

"Tang Han, if you kill my senior brother, my Songshan faction will never let you and the Huashan faction go, and I will definitely let you die without a place to bury you!" said the white-headed fairy with great hatred.

Tang Han sneered: "I don't know if I will die without a burial place, but today you both have to die!"

Tang Han used a Yangwu sword technique, the sword light flashed, and the long sword pierced the white-headed fairy's chest and pierced his heart.

Since the two assassinated themselves and wanted to put themselves to death, how could Tang Han be merciful? Even Tang Han already had a murderous intention against the Songshan faction in his heart. As long as there is a chance, Tang Han will definitely not let the Songshan faction go.

Tang Han saw that the night was dark, and he did not bring his own soldiers back to the city. There were only three servants in the yard. He found a hoe, dug a hole in the back garden of the yard, and killed the vulture and white-headed fairy. His body was buried.

On the second day, Tang Han left Fuzhou City and returned to Shuizhai.

"My lord, everything is ready, and we can set sail to the south of the sea at any time!" In the tent, the commander 'Chen Lin' reported.

During this period of time, Tang Han not only trained soldiers, but also prepared the food and water needed for three months. The so-called three armies did not move food and grass first. Although Tang Han had never fought, he still knew. At the same time, he also ordered He ordered ten lucky boats to facilitate the expedition.

Now that everything was ready, Tang Han sent people to inform the magistrate's yamen and the governor's yamen, and ordered the army to go out. Twenty ships set sail, left the water village, and headed south.

All the soldiers recruited by Tang and Han were able to pass through the water, so naturally there was no seasickness, but the Fujian navy lacked sailing experience, so it was not fast. Tang Han was also very patient. After all, in his previous life, he had "five-year army, ten-year air force, and [-]-year navy" It is said that without years and months, it is impossible to grow into a qualified navy officer.

Ships in this era rely on sails and wind power, which is not as good as a lifetime ship. When Tang Han docked at Quanzhou Port, he saw Quanzhou Port in this era. Quanzhou Port, as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, was very prosperous. However, there were hundreds of ships parked at the port, which opened Tang Han's eyes.

Resting in Quanzhou Port for half a day, the fleet continued to head south. When the sun just rose on the second day, Tang Han and the others arrived at Dongshan Island. Looking at Dongshan Island that appeared in sight, Tang Han felt very complicated.

He has been to Dongshan Island many times in his previous life. At that time, Dongshan Island had the ancient city of Tongling, Guandi Temple, hot springs and beaches, and it was a good place for tourism. But at this time, Dongshan Island was completely an island, and there was no land connected to the island. High speeds and roads, all travel by boat, and sparsely populated.

"My lord, should I kill Shangdao directly?" Chen Lin asked.

Tang Han said: "Dongshan Island is surrounded by water, there is no other way, the number of Japanese pirates who want to invade Dongshan Island will not be too many, otherwise they would have invaded other places long ago, let the brothers go directly to the island to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates, and the rest will be blocked by boats. Stay in the passage, don't let a pirate escape."

At this time, it was not as serious as the Japanese pirates in the Jiajing era. The Japanese pirates in the Jiajing era were so rampant, and there were thousands of people at every turn. At this time, the Japanese pirates were basically dozens, at most hundreds, otherwise they would not have invaded Dongshan. For several months after the island, there was no further attack on the rest of the coast.

The mighty fleet chose one place to land, two thousand soldiers disembarked, and hundreds of people were left on board to blockade. Under the entire team under their respective command, they began to move forward.

Tang Han did not stay on the boat, but chose to go up together. There was no gunpowder on the island, and it was very peaceful. Not long after, Tang Han encountered a village. This village was very small, just a few families. After inquiring, I found out that the Japanese pirates actually gathered in Tongling, and would go to the countryside to rob every once in a while.

And the number of Japanese pirates is only 400!
It was just that the Japanese pirates were brave and Dongshan Island had no protective power, so it was captured by the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop. Tang Han was filled with resentment when he heard it, but he was also very helpless.

The Chinese are like this, they submit to everything, unless they are forced to a dead end, they will not resist at all. There are only three to 400 Japanese pirates, and there are thousands of people on the island, but they are bullied.

In the Tang and Han Dynasties, more than 20 soldiers marched for [-] miles and arrived in Tongling. Tongling is the most populous place in Dongshan. In the [-]th year of Hongwu, Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, prepared coastal defenses. .The group of Japanese pirates conquered the water village, and they usually live in the water village.

It is also said that the Ming military households were corrupt and had no combat effectiveness. Otherwise, there would be a thousand households, and three or four hundred Japanese pirates would not be able to invade Dongshan Island.

More than [-] people brought by Tang Han arrived, and immediately the people ran home one by one, closing the doors and windows tightly, for fear of being affected by the flames of war, Tang Han gave an order, and immediately marched with drums beating.

The army attacked, and the Japanese pirates knew about such a big battle. The Japanese pirates in the water village closed the gate, and every single Japanese pirate showed panic.

Apparently they didn't expect the Ming army to attack on a large scale. Generally, if they occupy a place, as long as it is not too much, the government will turn a blind eye. After all, there are not many people on an isolated island like Dongshan Island.

Tang Han ordered the Ming army to attack, and the soldiers immediately bent their bows and shot arrows. Some soldiers operated simple catapults and threw stones at the water village. The unlucky Japanese pirates were directly smashed by the stones.

It was also unlucky for the Japanese pirates, and the lucky boats on the sea also arrived and fired at the water village.

Tang Han did not expect that although these Japanese pirates were brave, their weapons were very backward, and they had no firearms. Even if they were cold weapons, not everyone had them. As for armor and shields, only a few Japanese pirates had them.

It was hard for him to imagine how such a mob could capture Qianhusuo and occupy Dongshan Island. It was simply inconceivable.

Facing the strangulation of the army, how could the three or four hundred Japanese pirates resist, even if they wanted to surrender, they were killed because Tang Han issued a death order.

"My lord, all 380 and seven Japanese pirates on the island have been killed!" The leader Chen Lin came to report.

Tang Han nodded lightly and said, "What is the loss of our army in this battle?"

Chen Lindao: "My lord, in this battle our army killed 43 people and injured more than [-] people."

Tang Han secretly sighed in his heart, this group of Japanese pirates is just a mob, and they don't even have all the weapons, but the Fujian Navy is nearly ten times the Japanese pirates, and they have suffered hundreds of casualties. This is still after several months of training. The combat power is even weaker.

No wonder that during the Jiajing period, the Japanese pirates turned into cholera in the southeast coast, forcing the court to invest a lot of power, and with a famous general like Qi Jiguang, it was able to put down the Japanese invaders.

"Commander Chen, hang up the corpses of these Japanese pirates for me to show the people of Dongshan!" Tang Han said.

The Japanese pirates' cholera came to Dongshan for several months, which discouraged the people of Dongshan. Tang Han wanted to use this move to appease the hearts of the people. At the same time, he also warned the Japanese pirates that as long as they dared to harm the coast of Daming, Tang Han would not be merciless.

At the same time, Tang Han also wrote a letter and sent a ship to the magistrate of Zhangzhou Prefecture. After all, Dongshan is under the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou Prefecture. The prefect sent people to manage Dongshan.

Tang Han saw that the water village had been destroyed. In order to prevent Japanese pirates from invading Dongshan in the future, Tang Han recruited people to build Tongling City so that if Japanese pirates invaded in the future, they could use the city wall to resist Japanese pirates.

At the same time, Tang Han also wrote a memorial to the imperial court, stating that the coastal guards were corrupt and needed to be taken seriously, otherwise, after a few decades, the warriors would be invincible.

It’s just that Tang and Han also knew that the center of the imperial court is now in the southwest and in the north. At the beginning, he wrote the policy theory for the palace test, which was adopted by Emperor Hongzhi and implemented in the southwest.

The Japanese pirates on the southeast coast were not enough to arouse the imperial court's idea.

It was already July when Tongling City was repaired, and Tang Han returned to Fuzhou with his soldiers. He received the news that it was his master Yue Buqun who wrote to him, saying that Hengshan sent Liu Zhengfeng "Liu Sanye" to wash his hands in a golden basin, hoping He went to Hengshan School to participate in Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin washing his hands.

Tang Han frowned slightly. He didn't expect Liu Zhengfeng to wash his hands in a golden basin. This Liu Zhengfeng is the second largest figure in the Hengshan School after the head of the school. Mo Da has a withdrawn personality and is not suitable to be the leader. It can be said that the Hengshan School's current status is all due to Liu Zhengfeng.Unexpectedly, when Zuo Lengchan wanted to unite the Five Sacred Mountains, Liu Zhengfeng wanted to wash his hands.

This made Tang Han smell some conspiracy, otherwise Yue Buqun would not write to him, hoping that he would go to Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Conference.

Tang Han went to the magistrate's yamen and the governor's yamen, and took a vacation. As an official of the court, Tang Han naturally had his own vacation. After arranging the affairs of the navy, Tang Han rode a horse and headed for Hengshan.

Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference was scheduled for August [-]th, and there was still hope to reach Hengshan on August [-]th. Tang Han's heart sank when he thought about what happened in Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Conference.
