265, Wang Zhi’s gift 12

A few days after Yi Yun's letter was delivered to Hangzhou, the garrison soldiers in Jiangnan began to mobilize on a large scale. Anti-Japanese forts, which were originally scattered along the coast, began to gather troops and gather their troops to prepare to deal with the large-scale invasion of the Japanese pirates.

In fact, in recent days, Hu Zhongxian also felt that the Japanese pirates were about to launch a large-scale attack. He had already begun to strengthen the defense of some important cities. After Yi Yun's letter arrived, he immediately confirmed that the information was true after a brief analysis. So he quickly began to mobilize troops and generals, and the entire Jiangnan had entered a state of storm that was about to come and wind filled the building.

Yi Yun was not interested in managing the other four enemy troops. Anyway, that was Hu Zhongxian's job, so he would be in charge. What he had a headache about now was that Wang Zhi said he would give him what gift he wanted to give him? Where would he attack from? If he attacked Jiashan, he might land near Jinshan. If he wanted to attack Shanghai Oasis, then Wang Zhi could suddenly land from any corner of the Yangtze River Delta. There were too many places he needed to defend against, which was simply unpredictable.

He now realized the powerlessness of the officials of the Great Cute Country when they resisted the invasion of Japanese pirates. The vast seas were full of loopholes. The enemy could suddenly land from any place, and was already passive. He could only wait for the enemy to beat him up when he came to beat him. This feeling was very bad. Why didn’t I fight against the enemy? It seems that developing a navy is imminent.

Fortunately, Yi Yun was not completely unavailable. All three ships under Luo Lemao were released and swam around the sea to act as whistle detectives. Li Huamei also drove a Dafu ship and a snatched iron-armored ship to the sea near Zhoushan Island to help Yi Yun monitor the location where the Japanese pirates wanted to attack.

In 1561, the year of sailing in the East China Sea, on June 10th, news came from Yu Yingxian again. Wang Zhi only brought eight boats, only one thousand people, and rushed towards the direction of Shanghai Oasis. It seemed that the gift he said he wanted to give to King Jiashan was not an army, but he still should not relax his vigilance.

On June 15, Wang Zhi's fleet finally arrived at the east side of the Yangtze River Delta. Yi Yun had been waiting for a long time. He set up many scouts along the coast. As soon as Wang Zhi's fleet approached, the scouts immediately called the police. Yi Yun rushed to the beach with a large number of gunmen, guards, soldiers, archers and other professions, and laid a simple fortification along the coastline.

This is a coast that Yiyun had not had time to develop. There were many trees growing on the coast. The gunmen were hiding behind the trees and using the big trees to cover up their bodies.

At this time, they were located in Donghai Town in later generations, which was fifty miles away from the center of Shanghai Oasis. Yi Yun was a little confused. Why did Wang Zhi choose this place as the landing point? Logically speaking, he should choose a place closer to the center of the oasis, for example, choose Wusong Wharf, from there to the center of Shanghai Oasis, but only twenty miles. Why did Wang Zhi want to seek far away?

While on the sea and on the shore, the two sides looked at each other for several miles. Wang Zhi suddenly sent a small boat, with only two people on the boat, one rowing and the other seemed to be an envoy. Obviously, he wanted to say a few words before the war began. Yi Yun ordered the soldiers not to open fire and let the boat lean over.

The boat shook to the shore, and the messenger walked down from above. This was a middle-aged scholar. It seemed that after reading for a few years, he had an evil smile on his face. Yi Yun also walked over with a smirk on his face, met the man, and said with a smile: "Oh, brother, why are you doing here to get ashore?"

The middle-aged scholar laughed and said, "After the order of the ship owner of Wufeng, I will remind Prince Jiashan. If you hand over the Shanghai Oasis and provide our ship owner with Wufeng as a base, we will not beat you. If you don't know the truth, a big gift will be delivered to your territory immediately."

Damn, the guy who speaks so arrogantly! Yi Yun rolled his eyes unhappily: "Wang Zhi is so thrilling. He dares to say such things to me, and he is looking for death? I worked hard to build Shanghai and finally saw some achievements. He came and asked me to give it to him. Ha, I like being so arrogant!"

"The prince likes it? Are you planning to give up the oasis?" the middle-aged scholar said with a smile.

"Let your sister!" Yi Yun kicked the middle-aged scholar and scolded: "When you go back, tell Wang Zhi that my way of dealing with the world is to use the other person and give him the other person. Originally, he and I did not violate the river water, and I didn't want to pay attention to him. Now he actually made up his home. When you go back, tell him that I will make a reservation! When you go back, clean your home, and grandpa will soon be occupied."

"Your Majesty, you're a little bit too big." The middle-aged scholar got up from the ground and sneered: "Don't say that the outcome of today is not decided yet. Even if we can't take your Shanghai, you don't want to enter the house of the ship owner of Wufeng. Who doesn't know that our ship owner of Wufeng is in the Hirado clan of Fusang... Do you have the ability to come to Fusang?"

Yi Yun rolled his eyes: "Oh, Fusang, a country that is not conquered!"

"Hmph, you know the country that is not conquered!" The middle-aged scribe proudly said: "No matter who is the people of the Great Cute Country, they cannot attack Fusang, hahaha, because Fusang is the country that is not conquered."

"I'll get out of your egg." Yi Yun kicked the middle-aged scholar again, kicking him out, and then scolded: "Get out quickly, go back and ask Wang Zhi to send him any gifts. Grandpa will continue, and... ask him to go home and clean up quickly, and his home belongs to me."

"Okay, since you say that, don't blame us for being polite first and then being soldiers." The middle-aged scholar got up, jumped back to the boat, and the Japanese pirates who followed him rowed the boat desperately and returned to Wang Zhi's ship on the sea.

Yi Yun glanced at the eight warships parked in the sea with unhappiness and said to the person next to him: "Send a pigeon to Luo Lemao and Li Huamei, and ask if they are sure to defeat Wang Zhi's warship. If you are sure, we will fuck him at the sea."

After a while, the carrier pigeon flew back. It turned out that Luo Lemao and Li Huamei's warship were hiding in the bay not far away. They originally planned to ambush Wang Zhi, but after careful measurement, Li Huamei thought that she would not win the naval battle.

Because there are seven warships in Wang Zhi's fleet that are large ships, and only one small ship is Yu Yingxian's warship. That ship is not counted. There are many experienced old sailors on the seven warships that need to be counted, especially many cannons. The combined battleships of Li Huamei and Luo Lemao are only five, and they are also at a disadvantage in size, especially the number of artillery soldiers. If they fight, they will definitely be defeated.

Yi Yun looked at the letter Li Huamei sent back with a dark face as if the bottom of the pot was as dark as before, and said unhappily: "Forget it, we will fight a defensive battle for the time being today. When I complete the construction of Shanghai, I will build a ship to fight Wang Zhi, the little girl."

If you can't go into the sea to attack him, you have to consolidate the coastal defense line. Although Yi Yun doesn't know much about military affairs, he still knows basic common sense. Landing operations are very difficult, especially Yi Yun's army is basically a semi-hot weapon unit. It is simply a dream to land under the guns of more than a thousand musket soldiers. Even if Wang Zhi has fourth-level golden Japanese pirates under his command, he will not come ashore easily.

Even if they really rushed ashore with a musket, Yi Yun, the fourth-level "Tiger Guard", Pu Cong, the fourth-level "arhat", the third-level Li Chengyu, Ruan Mu Xing, An Jing, An Qian, Lu Xi and others all transferred over. Yi Yun still attached great importance to this battle.

Just in case, Yi Yun also brought an ugly maid. Looking at the eight Japanese pirate warships that were motionless, Yi Yun couldn't help but say to the ugly maid: "Hey, the ugly girl in Sanjiang Pavilion, if the enemy really has a fifth-level Japanese pirate landing, can you guarantee that the Death Girl will appear?"

The ugly maid nodded and said, "Our Sanjiang Pavilion is already ready. Lord Death is waiting nearby. If you need her help, you only need to hand over a billion taels of silver..."

"Stop it. It takes one billion taels to hire her to help deal with a fifth-level enemy? Let's cheat!" Yi Yun interrupted the ugly maid and waved his hand, "Tell her that the reward this time is for my warm embrace for five minutes, and I won't give it to you for an extra minute."

Ugly maid: "..."

At this time, the heads could be seen shaking on the bow of the Japanese pirates from afar, as if they were doing some small moves. Yi Yun took out a Western telescope and looked at the opposite side. The telescope was bought from the Spanish at a high price in Ningbo Port. It was very expensive! The price was very scammed! But Yi Yun had no choice. The Dameng Kingdom did not have the technology to produce glass now, so he could only let the Westerners cheat their fathers. Fortunately, the porcelain price of Dameng Kingdom is also very high, and it can also cheat the Westerners back.

He raised his telescope and looked at Wang Zhi's flagship.

Soon, he saw a middle-aged Japanese pirate standing at the bow of the boat. This guy was wearing a luxurious silk suit. Judging from his demeanor and standing position, he should be the leader of the Japanese pirates, that is, Wang Zhi. He was taking out a small colorful conch from his arms and putting it to his mouth.

"Oh, is Wang Zhi planning to blow the magic snail?" Yi Yun smiled and said, "I remember bragging the magic snail means bragging, right?"

Ruan Muxing next to him was also looking at it with a telescope. After taking a look, she said seriously: "I'm afraid the situation is not a good thing... That thing must be not a simple conch, it should be a treasure. Before the battle, I took out a treasure... I have a bad premonition."

"Well, you make sense. When you say this, I feel a little uneasy...." Yi Yun frowned. He saw through the telescope that Wang Zhi put the conch beside his mouth, bulged his cheeks, and blew it hard...

"Woo...woo...woo..." The thick sound of conch snails passed through the distant sea and reached everyone's ears.
