Chapter 417 A multiple-choice question! (Supplementary)
The current anti-Japanese army has only just taken shape. It is absolutely impossible to say that it has already formed any invincible combat effectiveness.
With the current intensity of the fight against the Japanese army, it is best to train for about half a year, and then find preliminary training with the Japanese pirates to build an army step by step.
But Japanese pirates are very cunning.
In recent years, the imperial court has not sent troops to suppress Japanese pirates, but once a large army approaches, the well-informed Japanese pirates will immediately retreat and hide on the sea or on an island.
The new anti-Japanese army is still relatively weak. Even if the Japanese pirates know about it, they may not take the anti-Japanese army, which has only more than 200 people, seriously.
Just like Wang Xian, a Japanese pirate, didn't take Linhai Guard's 1,000 people seriously.
This is an opportunity and a somewhat risky one.
But the risk is worth taking.
Li Mu was a man who never left his mark on anything he decided. The next day after the two people discussed it, he sent someone to notify the local and local officials, saying that the evidence of the Wang family's crimes against Japanese invaders was conclusive and that they would be sent to the capital for questioning immediately. .
This time, Li Mu did not post any more notices.
In other words, Shen Yi didn't let him post it.
Since notices have been posted last time, posting them again will inevitably sound like there is no silver 300 taels here, so it is just right to notify the local government.
Shen Yi believed that the local government offices at the county level and the two levels had unshirkable responsibility for the Japanese pirates causing such trouble in Taizhou Prefecture. In other words, there might be Japanese pirates in these two government offices.
It's not that there were Japanese pirates in the two yamen, but that someone provided them with information.
Otherwise, these Japanese pirates would not be able to escape.
Soon, more than twenty prison vans gathered at the entrance of the Wang family's mansion, escorting some direct male members of the Wang family and some major figures, preparing to be sent to Jiankang.
At the door of the Wang family's mansion, the eldest son Li Mu looked at Shen Yi with a somewhat tangled expression on his face: "Zi Heng, otherwise I'd better go and you stay in Linhai City and take charge."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "The sea patrol is not over yet. As an imperial envoy of the sea patrol, it is unreasonable for the prince to personally escort the Wang family to Jiankang at this time."
"It's so unreasonable."
Shen Yi said with a smile: "Compared to the important matter of patrolling the sea, the Wang family is insignificant."
He pointed to his nose and said softly: "It is only reasonable for me, an eighth-grade idle officer, to escort these prisoners."
Li Mu frowned again: "Otherwise, you don't want to go and let Ling Su and the others escort you."
"If something happens to you..."
The prince said in a low voice: "I have no way to explain to your majesty or Zhao Shangshu."
Shen Yi looked at Li Mu and whispered: "Prince, don't worry, people from the Di Reporting Department went to Taozhu to investigate half a month ago. They are much more professional than Ling Su. The situation is under my control. If If nothing can be done, I will return to Linhai."
The total number of Japanese pirates led by Wang Xian was more than 300, but the number of Japanese pirates in the Taozhu area was only about 100 and close to 200. This shows that this Japanese pirates are not of the same mind. Some of them only want to burn, kill and loot, and do not want to Go on an adventure on land with Wang Xian.
"Um."
Li Mu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and whispered: "If you can't do anything, just retreat immediately. You are a second-ranked Jinshi. You are a person in the clouds. There is no need to fight for your life against the Japanese pirates."
"There are more than 200 people in the anti-Japanese army, but they are not as valuable as you alone."
Hearing these words, Shen Yi opened his mouth and wanted to argue a few words, but the distinction between superiority and inferiority in this era has been engraved in his bones, and nothing he said could change it.
So, Shen Yi could only smile politely and said: "Okay, the prince does not have to send him far away. I will wait for news in Linhai County. If this trip is successful, the prince can drive the anti-Japanese army all the way south to patrol. It’s sea.”
The Crown Prince of Jin was lost in thought for a moment when he heard this, and then he smiled hoarsely: "Zi Heng, you know, it is not convenient for me to get involved in military affairs. When our brothers go south, there may be guards watching every word and deed of our brothers."
"When it comes to driving the army south, it was you, Shen Ziheng, who drove the army south."
Although these words are somewhat helpless, they are extremely true.
Because Li Mu's surname is Li, and Shen Yi's surname is Shen.
There are some things that everyone with the surname Li can touch, except those with the surname Li. Therefore, Li Mu deliberately avoided direct contact with military affairs along the way. Almost all matters related to the anti-Japanese army were "acted by Shen Yi" ”.
Because Li Mu knew very well the purpose of his southward patrol, and he also knew that there must be the emperor's eyes and ears around him. Once he did something extraordinary, he might be transferred back to Jiankang. From then on, the emperor I will never trust him again, let alone let him do anything.
These four words, hereditary and irreplaceable, have just become a dream talk.
After saying goodbye to Li Mu, Shen Yi took more than 200 anti-Japanese soldiers from the newly formed army, led by Ling Su and Xue Wei, and escorted more than 20 prison cars, and left Linhai County in a mighty manner.
After leaving Linhai City, they ran along the northwest official road towards Jiankang.
Because they were escorting prison cars, the team would not move very fast, so Shen Yi did not ride a horse and simply sat in a carriage.
They left the city in the morning, and in the evening they had walked thirty or forty miles. It was almost dark, and when Shen Yi was about to set up camp, a fast horse overtook the convoy from behind, raising a cloud of dust!
After the fast horse caught up with Shen Yi's motorcade, a man jumped off the horse. He stopped Shen Yi's carriage, bowed his head and clasped his fists at Shen Yi, and said in a loud voice, "Sizheng!"
Shen Yi opened the curtain and saw that the man in front of him was Zheng Hu, the leader of the fourth group. He frowned, jumped out of the carriage and asked, "What happened, are you so anxious?"
"Si Zheng..."
Zheng Hu exhaled a breath and said, "The Japanese pirates in Taozhu have moved..."
Shen Yi stepped back from the guards around him, looked at the dusty man, and said softly: "Isn't it expected that the Japanese pirates will move? Why are you panicking?"
"Just want them to move."
Zheng Hu swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Sizheng, it seems that these Japanese pirates in Taozhu are not coming for your convoy. According to the information obtained by my subordinates, they seem to be heading towards Linhai County!"
Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi frowned.
He looked towards the direction of Linhai County, a little puzzled: "Almost all the important people of the Wang family are here with me, what are these Japanese pirates doing in Linhai?"
Zheng Hu took several breaths before lowering his head and saying, "My subordinates wondered if they were going to attack Linhai City and kidnapped the imperial envoy to threaten Sizheng..."
After hearing this, Shen Yi looked at Zheng Hu, his expression slightly changed.
Seeing that Shen Yi didn't speak, Zheng Hu lowered his head and said: "Sizheng, according to my subordinates, we should return the troops to rescue the imperial envoy at this time. If something happens to the imperial envoy, let alone the patrol errand, I'm afraid you, Si Zheng, will also suffer the consequences." Punishment…”
Shen Yi remained silent.
After a long time, he looked at Zheng Hu in front of him and said slowly: "What if these Japanese pirates are pretending to attack Linhai, forcing us to return troops to rescue them, and then set up an ambush halfway?"
Zheng Hu was stunned for a moment and then became speechless.
"Subordinate... I don't think well..."
Mr. Shen raised his head and looked at the completely dark night. A look of embarrassment appeared on his slightly immature face.
Obviously, among the Japanese pirates... there is a smart man.
This smart man gave Mr. Shen a multiple-choice question.
I was really busy yesterday. The wedding is approaching and I have a lot of things to prepare for...I fell asleep after coding one chapter. I took the time to catch up today, so I'm sorry!!
