Chapter 263 The King of Quanzhou, the Lord of the Sea Crest
Today is March 15th, and Chen Daju decided to go to war on March 29th. At that time, he would only leave 5,000 elite defenders to defend Shanzhai Pass and personally lead 15,000 people to attack Quanzhou!
Zong Zhou and Han Shao contacted each other in the south and north, and their lord Li Luo was not idle for this period.
Li Luo is busy attracting new refugees to take the bait.
Since all the refugees in Ninghaizhou were sent away last year, Ninghai has become a vacuum area for refugees. Gradually, refugees from other places have come to Ninghaizhou.
After a few months, by early March, the number of refugees in Ninghai Prefecture reached more than 20,000 again. These people were all living from other places in Qilu.
This is everywhere in the world, and refugees are like locusts, and the government is no longer surprised.
Now, all the officials of Ninghai Prefecture Office were excited again. There was a lot of money to be paid in.
So this time, Li Luo did not take the initiative to order, and the officials did the same, building porridge sheds to attract refugees, calling it relief. The spies of the Special Inspection Bureau, who were mixed with refugees, began to spread news about the paradise, praising the kindness of Li Luo and Cui Xiuning.
This whole process is already very skilled in both officials and spies.
So, on March 16, the "Nanyang Merchant" came again, and the refugees were "scamd" on board the ship again, and more than 100,000 taels of silver were sent to the state yamen.
As usual, Li Luo took 40% of the money, and everyone had a share of it, from the magistrate to the smallest of Zaoli.
There were only 20,000 refugees in this group, and Li Luo's own ship could be transported in one go. So neither he nor Cui Xiuning went to Haidong. He just made some arrangements and wrote a letter for Zheng He, who came to transport refugees, to take them back.
These 20,000 refugees were mainly young and strong. When they arrived in Haidong, they could provide more than 1,000 new recruits.
However, Li Luo spent a lot of money and grain for this. Until now, the money in the Jianghua Fort Silver Warehouse has been less than 500,000 taels.
With the promised compensation of 100,000 taels to the pirates and the spring military pay paid by the security team and the township yong, Li Luo's remaining money was only more than 300,000 taels.
Cui Xiuning was not idle during this period. She sent more people and finally confirmed the exit of the Pu Family Secret Pass, which was in the courtyard of Pu Family Port.
In addition, she has been doing middle school experiments for cultivating penicillin. After several failures, she finally successfully cultivated a few milliliters of penicillin.
"This should be very impure. It is risky to use, right?" Li Luo asked suspiciously as he looked at the little liquid in the small porcelain bottle.
Cui Xiuning said: "Of course it's not pure, but I don't know how to purify it. The penicillin cultivated by this method is definitely risky when it is imported into the human body."
Li Luo was still very happy, "If you really have it, even if it is not pure, it was created. It's amazing, Ms. Cui Xiuning, the inventor of penicillin!"
Cui Xiuning was not in the mood to joke, frowned with her beautiful eyebrows, "The needle tube can be replaced with hollow fish bone spurs, distilled water can be used for liquid preparation, the infusion tube can be used for fish skin tube, and the infusion bottle can be used for porcelain. However, it cannot be treated with sterile disinfection using modern methods. In addition, penicillin itself is not pure. Every link is not ideal. Think about it, what will happen if it is input into the human body?"
Li Luo smiled indifferently and said, "What consequences? It's nothing more than to treat people. However, a wounded person is dying due to a bacterial infection, so how can he care about these things? It's better to take the risk."
"Okay." Choi Soo-ning was speechless, but he knew that there was only this, "We may cause a lot of medical accidents."
This is impossible. Modern medical products are the crystallization of modern technology, and they are the support of a complete industrial system. Not to mention two people who don’t understand chemistry, even if they get a group of doctoral students from the University of Modern Medical Sciences, they will be helpless.
Just talk about a sterile syringe and a sterile rubber leather tube, and one hundred doctoral professors could only stare at him.
"When I went to Haidong, I organized the doctors of Haidong Hospital to cultivate a large amount of penicillin, and then fired a batch of small porcelain bottles to make containers. What fish bone syringes and fish skin tubes are all matched, simple and crude. If I went to Japan, it would definitely be useful." Li Luo said.
Cui Xiuning nodded: "In a few months, the Yeluzi military doctor trained by Haidong Hospital will come in handy."
When Cui Xiuning went to Haidong before New Year, she asked the hospital to recruit 200 people to teach the bandage and treatment of knife and arrow injuries. This is the simplest battlefield military doctor.
…………
In the blink of an eye, it was late March. Han Shao from Japan and Zong Zhou from Nanmin sent back the news one after another. The news sent back by Zong Zhou was fine, but Li Luo expected it. However, he was a little surprised by the news sent back by Han Shao.
He knew that most Japanese pirates would come, but he didn't expect that so many would come.
In addition to Hattori Maruzo and Izumonoji invited by Shao Ye Nobuzi, there were seven or eight Japanese pirates joining. Not only that, there were also the Song Dynasty remnants, the Goryeo Sanbiao remnants, and the Song people, Goryeo, Jurchens, and Khitans who were exiled to the Japanese country.
Even the Matsuura family in Hirado family sent naval troops to participate in the war.
The total force reached 20,000! More than 100 warships of all sizes!
Even the third brother of the Jiuzhou Anti-Yuan General Shao Erjingzi and the youngest brother of Erxinzi came forward.
Shao Er Jingzi personally led the general of the general of the general of the barbarians in the name of "punishing the barbarians and restoring the Song Dynasty", appointed Hattori Maruzo as the "army pursuit" who was actually in charge of the commander-in-chief. He appointed Xie Yuanlang, the general of the remnant army of the Song Dynasty, and appointed Lin Xunshi, the general of the remnant army of Goryeo, as the "bow general", and the sailor of the Matsuura family, Eiri Ono, as the "ship general".
Even Han Shao, as an envoy, was appointed as a "commander" by Shao Er Jingzi, who was specifically responsible for contacting and leading the way.
This nature is not pirates and pirates, but a regular coalition force with a strong official will.
Li Luo put down Han Shao's letter and smiled and said, "My goodness, the Three Kingdoms Pirate Alliance has 20,000, and Chen Daju wants to send 15,000, which will add up to 35,000 troops. Where is Quanzhou? Nine thousand Fujian Navy, three thousand detectives, and three thousand Pujia private soldiers, the total is only 15,000. With the five hundred responses we mixed into Quanzhou City, Quanzhou City cannot be spared."
During this period, Li Luo sent 500 elite security teams to sneak into Quanzhou City in batches. Quanzhou is a big city with a population of 150,000 or 60,000. The merchant groups frequently enter and exit, and 500 people are nothing.
Although we cannot bring weapons into the city, we will naturally have weapons at that time because the Pu family will give it to us.
Once the army attacked the city, the city was seriously insufficient. Pu Shougen will definitely recruit young and strong men to defend the city. These five hundred people are preparing to recruit young and strong men to defend the city at that time. As long as the weapons are obtained, they will gather together, take the opportunity to open the city gate, and let Chen Daju enter the city.
Li Luo's operation team took the opportunity to invade from the tunnel and swept the Pu family's gold, silver and soft softness. When the rebels entered the Pu family's fortress, all the valuable things were emptied by Li Luo's people.
This time, Li Luo used three thousand elite soldiers, not only to destroy the Pu family, but also to move things.
He estimated that the Pu family alone had current assets at least several million taels. There were too many gold and silver, so there were few people and they couldn’t move them!
Every step and every detail of the action has been carefully arranged, including plans. In terms of time, it is even accurate to within half a quarter of an hour.
Secret instructions were passed through the spies from the Special Attack Bureau, and all the people involved in the operation moved step by step.
…………
April 2, Quanzhou City.
Everyone knows that the King of Quanzhou, Pu Shou Geng Pu, has a 75th birthday today. It will be connected to Daqing for three days, entertaining relatives, friends, old friends and guests from all over the world.
Early in the morning, many wealthy merchants in Hailiao, officials in the city, even officials from other states and counties, as well as generals and generals in the army, arrived one after another to celebrate the birthday of Pu Daguan.
In front of the huge Pujiawu Fort, there were a lot of cars and horses, and groups of well-dressed, rich and noble people entered Pujiawu Fort with gifts.
Many of the guests are high noses and deep eyes.
The private soldiers defending the fort did not search except for leaving weapons for the guests. As long as they reported a gift list, they would be politely invited in by the guests.
This is not because of the private soldiers being careless. Even if there are enemies mingling in the passenger flow and they don’t have weapons, what can they do? They are looking for death.
Moreover, each guest can only bring up to four or five people.
Many of these guests are old friends from the Pu family, and many of them come to curry favor with the Pu family, and they didn't know each other at first.
It was only the 1000th day of the morning, and there were hundreds of guests coming to celebrate the birthday. The entire Pujiawu Fort was full of joy, drums and music, people were heard, laughing and noisy, and it was very lively.
Even if many customers are rich, they will secretly stumble when they come to Pujiawu Fort.
It's so rich. It's said that the Pu family is rich enough to rival a country, with fields that crows cannot fly, and gold and silver that thieves cannot move. This is indeed the case.
The Huatang and Guangmo are continuous, ww. They are all magnificent, exquisite and luxurious. That's all. The water tanks for fish farming in the courtyard are all jade artifacts.
Moreover, Pu Shougen’s fortress is not an oriental building, but a typical Western religious style. It uses a lot of precious stones, and many places have gold foil and painted with gold paint.
The tallest building in the fort is like a steeplet temple. The four walls of the temple are actually equipped with glazed windows, which are full of brilliance and extremely exquisite.
There are also hundreds of ivory-carved scriptures that decorate a gorgeous sutra hall.
Official Pu lived in a beautiful steeple-topped temple-like building. When everyone celebrated his birthday in the gorgeous hall, the most powerful old man in Quanzhou was praying piously and joyfully.
Although Pu Shougeng was 75 years old, his face was rosy, his spirit was shining, his eyes were like lightning, his expression was majestic, and he did not look very old.
Even if you see Pu Shougeng many times, you will still feel an invisible pressure when you see him again.
He is the king of Quanzhou, the lord of Haiyao, the man who dominated the Minhai, and the man who once slaughtered thousands of Zhao Song royal families.
At this time, Pu Shougeng seemed a little amiable because of his birthday. Whether he knew or didn't know the guests, he nodded with a perfunctory smile.
He thanked, he was happy, he prayed... He was the omnipresent, beginningless and ending god, who allowed him to live to be 75 years old, and enjoyed the glory and wealth of the world.
Power, wealth, beauty, descendants, health, longevity... He has all the beautiful things in the world.
He felt very good and great. He knew in his heart that he could live for ten or eight years.
