It may be that the career of Japanese pirates really has no future, or it may be that the ideological work of the Di Reporting Department has been done well. In short, the information provided by the three people sent by the Di Reporting Department is basically the same, and overall it is credible.
of.
After all, they have only one line of contact with their boss, Zheng Hu. They do not know each other's existence, so there is no possibility of collusion with each other.
Therefore, just after early morning that day, more than 40 ships took advantage of the darkness and headed towards Wusha Island.
Sailing at night is very dangerous, or extremely dangerous behavior.
Because there is no reference point at night, there is no lighthouse, and there is no radar, so there is no way to identify the direction, so if you are not careful, you may get lost.
Even Shen Yi's fleet stopped in the evening and found a small reef to stop, waiting for a few informants to deliver the message.
However, when these informants were delivering the letter, Shen Yi asked them to pay attention to the route along the way. The three of them were all locals in Taizhou Prefecture and were familiar with the route. In addition, the moon was shining brightly in the sky and the sea was not too dark. These three people
The small boat was rowing in front, and before dawn, Shen Yi's fleet was brought to the vicinity of Wusha Island.
At this time, the moonlight was almost fading, and a faint light began to appear in the east.
Xue Wei hurried to Shen Yi's cabin and reported the situation to Shen Yi: "Master Shen, we are only two or three miles away from Wusha Island. We are just waiting for your order to land on the island immediately!"
After hearing this, Shen Yi walked out of the cabin and took a far look at the island not far ahead that looked pitch black, but a hill could clearly be seen.
There is a Wusha Mountain on this island, hence the name of Wusha Island.
Shen Yi looked at the sky, then at the island, and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, how do you plan to attack the island?"
Xue Wei grinned and said: "The Di Newspaper Division under your command has already found out the news clearly. They even have topographic maps and took us to the edge of the island. It's like feeding food to the mouths of your subordinates.
I'm sorry, don't worry, my subordinates have already made arrangements!"
"There are a total of four boating exits on Wusha Island. They are all marked on the map. My subordinates have asked the three brothers from Di Bao Division to lead the people to block the other three exits, and then the others will wait for a frontal attack.
Just catch them all in one go!"
Shen Yi took the map from Xue Wei's hand. After looking at it for a few times, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then said: "Since there are four exits in total, what I mean is, why not open up the net and leave one exit for them."
"Leave the smallest exit for them, and also give them a way to survive, so that these Japanese pirates will not fight hard and cause too many casualties to our army when they are struggling to the death."
"Let them gather here, and then attack halfway, the effect may be better."
Xue Wei lowered his head slightly and said: "I understand what you mean, but if these people are given a life path, the thief leader Wang Xian will definitely be the first to run away. I am worried that the thief leader will be taken away..."
"Send a few ships to keep an eye on this exit from a distance."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment: "No matter what, it is always good to save a few brothers from dying. Besides, I expect this is a surprise attack, and these Japanese pirates may not be able to react."
As he said that, he reached out and patted Xue Wei on the shoulder: "If you fight this battle well, I will personally write a letter to the Ministry of War for you to ask for merit. By then, the word "Trial of Thousand Households" on your head can be removed.
"
This is the reason why this battle is a bit hasty.
Shen Yi needs to skip Ling Su and let Xue Wei take the credit directly.
Xue Wei's eyes lit up, he lowered his head slightly and said, "I obey my orders!"
After that, Xue Wei bowed his head and saluted Shen Yi, then strode away and went down to deploy specific operations.
Mr. Shen stood on the deck, silently looking at Wusha Island in front of him.
This was his first step to go to sea to suppress Japanese pirates, and also the first step for the anti-Japanese army to quell the Japanese pirates near the sea.
This stage is mainly about accumulating combat experience at sea and landing experience.
According to Shen Yi's vision, if the Anti-Japanese Army can develop into a powerful navy in the future, then of course it will not just assume the responsibility of offshore defense. The Northern Expedition is a bit too far. If it is closer, we can actually drive the Anti-Japanese Army to
Visit some nearby countries.
Of course, the people of China are peace-loving and would never engage in colonial aggression. Mr. Shen mainly felt that some of the surrounding countries were barbaric and wanted to bring the excellent Central Plains culture there and transform them into kings.
Of course, we can also help these neighboring countries to jointly develop some industries, such as the silver mines on Japan's main island...cough...
Thinking too far.
Master Shen's thoughts slowly drifted back.
He was brought back to reality by a cry of death.
At this time, it was still early in the morning.
A thousand anti-Japanese troops led by Xue Wei quietly set foot on the land of Wusha Island without encountering any resistance.
This also means that this war to suppress the Japanese is actually over.
All that remains is the issue of battle losses.
In other words, Mr. Shen wins more and loses less.
…………
There is a Wusha Mountain on Wusha Island, and Wang Xian's village was built on the mountain.
The stockade was built on the mountainside, and its purpose was naturally to make it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Twenty or thirty years ago during the reign of Emperor Xianzong, the Chen State's court organized many operations to suppress Japanese invaders. At that time, the Chen State's local army had not yet reached a certain level of decline, so at that time there were still officers and soldiers to kill Wusha.
island.
But in the past twenty years, basically no officers and soldiers have dared to come here.
Wang Xian usually led Japanese pirates to plunder coastal villages. Even if they occasionally encountered resistance from the government and soldiers, as long as they returned to Wusha Island, no soldiers would dare to pursue them.
For more than 20 years, this group of Japanese pirates have been allowed to slack off.
Therefore, although it is almost dawn now, Wang Xian, the boss of Wusha Village, is still sleeping.
Because the weather was a bit cold, there were two young girls on Boss Wang's bed to warm his bed and sleep with him. They were ordinary people who were plundered by the people from Wusha Village along the coast.
In fact, although there are only 500 or 600 Japanese pirates in Wusha Village, the total population is 1400 to 500 people. Some of the remaining people are the family records of Japanese pirates, and more are plundered people. Some of them are
To be sold.
Sold to Oriental and Nanyang people.
Regardless of whether they are men or women, Han people, as long as they are young enough, are very popular in East and Southeast Asia, and many people buy them.
This is also one of the important sources of income for Japanese pirates.
At this time, Boss Wang rested his head on the girl's breast and was having a sweet dream. In the dream, he caught the two dog officials of Chen Guo who destroyed his clan, and was scraping the flesh of the two dog officials one by one.
Suddenly, a loud noise sounded in his ears.
Boss Wang woke up suddenly. He jumped up from the bed, subconsciously grabbed the long knife beside the bed, and ran out without even having time to put on his coat.
Because this loud noise was so familiar to him.
The sound of gunpowder exploding.
Gunpowder... is something that Japanese pirates like them deal with frequently. There is a lot of gunpowder in the warehouse on Wusha Island.
The moment Boss Wang rushed out, he heard shouts of death outside.
When he was about to go out to inquire about the situation, he saw a subordinate, covered in blood, stumbling over, still shouting: "Boss! Boss! The army is coming to kill!"
"The officers and soldiers are coming to kill!"
These five words resounded throughout Wusha Village.
Boss Wang's eyes widened with anger, and he said angrily: "Kill me back, the officers and soldiers of the Chen State are all weaklings, what are you afraid of what they will do!"
"It's the anti-Japanese army...It's the anti-Japanese army!"
Hearing these four words, Wang Xian panicked.
He looked at the burning stockade in front of him, and then at the bedroom behind him. The thought of escaping suddenly rose in his mind and was out of control.
