"South of mountains" and "north of water" are yang, "north of mountains" and "south of water" are yin.
Jiangyin is the Yin of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the fiefdom of Chunshenjun Huang Xie was in Jiangyin County. It was known as the "Chunshen Old Fen". It was the prosperous land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River and the land of the Three Wu Kingdoms.
A meeting on a boat trip.
At this time, Jiangyin County was decorated with lights and colorful decorations inside and outside, and was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere of faith.
"Boss Wu, your business is booming, your family is in good health, and I wish you a happy New Year."
"Haha, Boss Liu, I would like to lend you your auspicious words and wish you great success in the new year and a prosperous business."
"Hahahaha, Boss Wu, we are rivals. If you wish my business to flourish, you won't be afraid that one thing will go down and the other will go up, and I will steal your business."
"Boss Li, whether you steal my business or I steal your business, it depends on each person's ability."
"Hahahaha, okay, that's good, let's each rely on our abilities."
On the street, people wear new clothes and carry gifts to visit relatives and friends. They meet each other on the street, greet each other and say auspicious words for the New Year. Even if they meet old rivals, they also meet and smile and say Happy New Year.
In the streets and alleys, children ran out in groups, showing off their new clothes to each other, taking out honey money, preserved fruits, melon seeds, candies and other snacks that they could not usually eat from their pockets, and eating them proudly and exaggeratedly.
With.
There are also many naughty children holding a stick of incense in their hands. They take out firecrackers from their pockets and put them on the ground or in strange places. They cover their ears with one hand and hold out the incense sticks with the other hand, trembling with fear and excitement.
, use sparks to ignite the fuse of the firecracker.
"Bang" "Bang"
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the naughty children shouted and laughed so happily. Especially when they scared passers-by and chased them to scold them and stop running away, they were so happy that they exploded.
From any courtyard there is laughter, and from any courtyard there is the aroma of wine, meat and vegetables.
It’s Chinese New Year.
Every household, men, women, old and young are all immersed in the joy of the New Year. No one would have thought that a few miles away, there were dozens of Japanese boats cutting through the wind and waves, heading up the river, aiming directly at Jiangyin County.
"Paddle at full speed! The leader said, soldiers are very fast! Kill him by surprise!" The little leader of the Japanese pirates held a whip to supervise the Japanese pirates under his command to row hard. If he saw anyone who was not using their full strength, he would give him a whip.
"Come into the county town, pick any woman you want! The leader said, rush into the county town, except for the gentry, wealthy merchants and wealthy families, the rest of the people will be burned, killed and looted by you! Whatever you rob is yours!"
The little leader of the Japanese pirates waved his whip and said to everyone.
Under the influence of carrots and whips, a group of Japanese pirates rowed their oars to take off, and the Japanese ships moved forward rapidly like arrows leaving the string.
After a while, the Japanese boat rushed to the moat outside Jiangyin County.
"Here we are, here we are."
Amidst a burst of noise, Ryuzoji Shingen and Matsuura Shimosaburo walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.
The entrance is Jiangyin County.
The endless city wall is eight meters high, with five layers of large stones as the city base, and large green bricks as the walls. There are four sub-cities, three city pavilions, watchtowers and dens.
There are more than twenty buildings. There is a horse racing track on the city, which is enough for horses to gallop. There is a moat outside the city, which leads directly to the mighty river. It is simply a huge city.
"Oh my God, what a huge city. Xu Jun, Ma Jun, let's not attack Jiangyin's work. Why did we attack such a huge city? This, this, this must be the Ming Dynasty's remaining residence in Jiangnan.
Oh my god?!"
When Matsuura Shimozaburo saw Jiangyin County, he immediately exclaimed, thinking that Xu Hai and Maye had brought them to attack Ming Dynasty Liu Yingtian, and he was shocked.
Although they pride themselves on their bravery, and although they look down upon the combat prowess of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, they are not so confident that they can attack the capital city of the Ming Dynasty with just a few thousand men! In their Japanese country, even if they were to attack small towns of other daimyo, they would have to have more than ten thousand men.
ah!
"Ahem, Mr. Xu, Mr. Ma, if you want to attack the capital of Ming Dynasty, you still have to wait until the army sent by the family governor arrives before attacking."
Ryuzoji Shingen also coughed and repeated it.
"Hahahaha, General Longzaosi, General Matsuura, this is not Liuyingtian of the Ming Dynasty, this is Jiangyin County."
Maye couldn't help laughing.
These Japanese people are really frogs in the well. They have no knowledge at all. They are just a county, and they actually think it is the capital! How small and poor the Japanese country must be! To recognize a small county town as the capital! No wonder all the Japanese warriors are so good at fighting.
, Poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people, and even the poor can't take the blame. So they have to blow their brains out in order to grab some food. How normal.
"Nani?! This isn't Liuyingtian, but this is Jiangyin County?"
"County town?! A small county town is so huge?! How big is the real Liuyang sky?! What about the current capital city of the Ming Dynasty?! I. I can't even imagine how majestic the capital city must be!"
When Matsuura Shimozaburo and Ryuzoji Shingen heard that this was the county seat of Jiangyin, they opened their mouths in surprise.
Unbelievable!
Unimaginable!
In their eyes, such a huge city turned out to be just the most basic unit of power in the Ming Dynasty - the county seat!
The county seat is so huge, they can't imagine how majestic the daimyo's prefecture, capital, and capital must be!
"Quick, quick, little boys, before the officers and soldiers guarding the door react, get off the boat quickly and rush to seize the door!"
Following the orders of Xu Hai and others, the Japanese pirate leader kicked and kicked his subordinates to get off the ship as soon as the ship docked, and went straight to the county town!
The officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the county town were not just stupid. Although they were drinking a lot of wine with four dishes and one soup in the city gate and did not spot the Japanese ship at the first time, the sound of the Japanese pirates disembarking and the screams of the people outside the city gate still made them look back.
I discovered it belatedly.
"No, Japanese pirates! Japanese pirates are coming!"
"Quickly, stop drinking, close the city gate quickly, don't let the Japanese pirates enter the city, if the Japanese pirates enter the city, we will all have to finish it!"
"Close the door, close the door, close the door quickly!"
A group of gatekeepers screamed in panic, hurriedly got down from the wine table, and rushed up to close the city gate, crawling and rolling.
A group of officers and soldiers hurriedly closed the city gate, and finally closed the city gate one second before the Japanese pirates rushed in.
"Thank God, we finally closed the city gate before these killers entered! Let me tell you, we have made a great contribution this time! If the Japanese pirates enter the city, then our county will not be celebrating the Spring Festival, but the Ghost Festival
"
A veteran gatekeeper with gray hair and a mouth full of alcohol breathed a sigh of relief after closing the city gate, and said after the disaster.
"We know that the Japanese pirates burned, killed and looted so many places during this period that we can't even count them. Every village, stockade, Wubao and county town that the Japanese invaded was a river of blood and a hell on earth!"
"If Japanese pirates enter the city, not only my wife and mother, but also our sows will suffer!"
A group of gatekeepers sat behind the city gate and denounced the Japanese pirates.
