A group of officials were tied up and their faces were ashen. It was only now that they regretted it and knew that their bad luck was coming.
Zhang Yanling ordered people to take them to the third floor of Wuyangju and put them under strict supervision. Afterwards, he summoned Wang Hong, Qin Yong and others and announced the decision.
"Wang Hong, Qin Yong, you two listen to the order. From now on, Wang Hong will act as the commander of Guangdong, and Qin Yong will act as the commander of Nanhai Guard. You two will immediately summon the Nanhai Guard and the inspector to gather all the personnel.
Ship. After dawn, follow me to conquer Tuen Mun Island, recover the lost territory of Tuen Mun, and rescue the abducted people."
Wang Hong and Qin Yong promised loudly.
"Since the soldiers and horses in the city may not be willing to obey your orders, I want you to subdue them with thunder. But those who resist and do not obey will be killed without mercy. I came here with an order, and I have the emperor's order, so I can act cheaply. The consequences of this will be
I will bear all the responsibility."
"I understand your humble position!" Wang Hong and Qin Yong said loudly.
"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, everything must be completed before dawn. The city gates are blocked and no one can enter or exit to report the news, so as not to let the Tuen Mun Folangji people know in advance and be on guard. This is the time to test your two abilities. If you can do it,
If you complete this important matter, you two will be the great heroes of the imperial court. I will try my best to ensure that you two officially take office. This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back. Seize it well. Go."
Wang Hong and Qin Yong were so excited that they kowtowed to express their gratitude, stood up and accepted the order and left.
Zhang Yanling let out a long sigh of relief after watching the two people go downstairs.
Late last night at Ciyun Temple in Baiyun Mountain, Zhang Yanling was extremely disappointed when he heard Wang Hong say that he only had more than fifty subordinates. He once thought that this matter might not be able to proceed.
But Wang Hong later told him that Qin Yong, a Qianhu of the Nanhai Guard, was from the same hometown as him. He was an upright and brave man, and was a strong general in the Nanhai Guard. As for what Li Siming, Wan Fengnian and others did, what he did to the Folangji people
Qin Yong was already filled with indignation due to his arrogance and domineering behavior and what he did in Guangzhou, and he expressed his anger more than once.
Wang Hong felt that if he could persuade Qin Yong, he would have thousands more men at his disposal.
Although the matter was risky, Zhang Yanling was the kind of person who dared to take risks. He decided to give it a try. He immediately ordered Chen Shiyi to pretend to be Wang Hong's follower and go into the city. He pretended that nothing happened and continued to play in Baiyun Mountain to deceive others.
.
Wang Hong's wife and children were all in Guangzhou, so returning to Guangzhou every three days did not arouse suspicion. He took Chen Shiyi into the city smoothly, and soon found Qin Yong to discuss the matter. Qin Yong was a little hesitant at first.
, Wang Hong informed Qin Yong about the fact that the people of Folangji secretly robbed and sold the people of the Ming Dynasty. Qin Yong was immediately filled with righteous indignation after hearing this, and decided to participate in the matter.
At this time, Chen Shiyi also revealed his identity and handed Qin Yong the autographed letter written by Zhang Yanling. He also read the emperor's secret decree to Qin Yong. At this time, Qin Yong no longer hesitated and decided to go to war.
In the afternoon, Qin Yong received an order to lead his troops to ambush Wuyangju. Because Qin Yong was highly skilled in martial arts and his soldiers and horses were well-trained, he was in charge of the Qian affairs in Guangdong. Sun Guangzu, the commander of Nanhai Guard, thought of it first when arranging his troops.
Qin Yong.
Zhang Yanling's original plan was to have Qin Yong lead troops and horses to surround Wuyangju during the banquet, forcing Li Siming, Wan Fengnian and others to submit. But this time there was no need to bother. This gave Zhang Yanling the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Wang Hong was arranged by Qin Yong to join the soldiers, and Qin Yong's men also ambushed Wuyang Center. It was originally an ambush operation targeting Zhang Yanling, but Li Siming and others did not know that this was a trap for themselves. After that,
Things fell into place naturally.
I have to say that this matter is actually quite dangerous. Zhang Yanling was right to choose to believe Wang Hong. It was precisely because of Wang Hong’s memorial that he dared to ask the court to expel the Francois, which showed that Wang Hong and Li Siming
They are not in the same group, and they are upright officials.
I believe in Wang Hong, so I also believe in the people Wang Hong believes in. This is actually very risky. I don’t know Qin Yong at all. What if Qin Yong betrays the idea, or Qin Yong is simply with Li Siming and the others.
Then the whole thing will become extremely bad.
Of course, Zhang Yanling was not defenseless. After Chen Shiyi and Wang Hong persuaded Qin Yong, they followed Qin Yong disguised as soldiers and monitored his every move. Until evening, when they were sure that Qin Yong was fine, Chen
Shiyi had just left the city to report, and Zhang Yanling had just returned from outside the city. If he felt something was wrong at all, Zhang Yanling would not bring anyone back to the city, and it would be easy for Chen Shiyi to escape.
It can only be that Wang Hong has a good eye for people. And among the officials in Guangzhou, there are upright and bloody people like Qin Yong. That's why things went so smoothly today.
After Qin Yong, Wang Hong and others left, the entire Wuyangju suddenly became quiet. The shopkeeper and the clerks were under the supervision of Chen Shiyi. More than ten red-haired ghosts from the Buddha Langji were also taken into custody.
The sound of soldiers and horses shouting and running could be heard in the street. From time to time, there were swords and swords and the roar of firearms. It was Wang Hong and Qin Yong who were gathering soldiers and horses to clean up the soldiers and horses that did not obey orders.
Zhang Yanling is not worried about them.
In this case, Qin Yong and Wang Hong only need to control a few thousand generals in the city and read out the emperor's imperial edict. They can deal with those who don't obey with thunderous means. For the city police who don't know what is happening in Wuyang Center
* As far as the guards and horses are concerned, they are defenseless. Qin Yong has a thousand soldiers and horses under his command. If he can't even do this, he is not worthy of Wang Hong's high regard for him.
In the private room on the second floor, Zhang Yanling sat in front of a group of red-haired ghosts from the Flemish Kingdom with ashen faces, staring at them blankly.
Captain Andara sat against the wall with a depressed expression, his hair as messy as a pet dog that had been straying for several months. He kept humming from his mouth.
"Captain Andara." Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice.
Andara shuddered and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Yanling in horror.
"Don't be afraid, as long as you explain properly and cooperate obediently, I will spare your life." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Andara remained silent.
"I have a few questions to ask you. The first question is, how many people do you have on Tuen Mun Island? How many warships are there? How is the distribution of troops on the island? How well are the fortifications and defenses built?" Zhang Yanling asked in a deep voice.
Andala said coldly: "I advise you not to think about attacking the island, our cannons will blast you to pieces. We have built a large number of fortifications and forts on Tuen Mun Island, and you can't get close at all."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Andala, it seems that you are very stubborn. Are you still unconvinced? Look at our Ming Dynasty's firearms. Look, this is a fire blunderbuss, this is a bird blunderbuss, your country of Folangji has such advanced ones.
Firearms? We still have three or four ranges
If these local officials hadn't colluded with you and connived with you, how could you have established a foothold on Tuen Mun Island? It's a miracle that you can survive to this day. Your country of Folangji is a small country, and it doesn't belong to our Ming Dynasty at all.
opponent."
Andara said loudly: "Then you can go attack the island. You don't need to ask me these things."
Zhang Yanling sneered and said: "We just don't want too many casualties. We still have our people on the island, and the people who were robbed by you. We don't want to bombard you indiscriminately. The value of your life is to provide intelligence. You
If you refuse to answer, there is no need to live. If you don't tell me, I will kill you all."
Andara trembled and immediately shouted: "Just kill us, we will die anyway. General Almeida will lead the fleet and avenge us. My Majesty King Franji will order to send more fleets
Come and sweep across your Ming Dynasty. We have more advanced artillery and brave soldiers, and we will kill you all."
"Hahaha, okay, I have the guts. In that case, I will help you. I will kill you all." Zhang Yanling waved his hand.
Chen Shiyi and several personal guards drew their knives.
"Andara, you damn thing. You want to die, but we don't want to die. You idiot, fool, idiot. We don't want to die with you. Dear Lord Marquis, we all know the situation on the island, and I am willing to answer you.
Question. This Andara is a fool. The Marquis just needs to kill him. We don’t want to die with him. I am willing to serve the Marquis." Figo shouted loudly.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Oh, I forgot about Mr. Figo. Very good, Mr. Figo's attitude is very good. Come here, untie Mr. Figo and treat his wounds. Bring some wine and let Mr. Figo drink it."
Order a drink."
"I know it too, and I'm willing to say it," someone shouted again.
"I am willing to serve the Marquis. We can lead the Marquis to the island." Someone said loudly.
Zhang Yanling laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay. As long as you cooperate, you can survive. Come here, loosen the ties and get a drink. Let's chat slowly."
Andara chirped and roared, seeming to be intimidating everyone.
Zhang Yanling frowned, beckoned Figo to come to him, and handed him a dagger.
"Mr. Figo, are you willing to be loyal to me? I'll give you a chance. Go kill him."
Figo looked at the dagger in Zhang Yanling's hand in shock.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "What? You can't do it?"
Figo suddenly grabbed the dagger in Zhang Yanling's hand and strode towards Andara.
"What are you doing? Figo, are you crazy?" Andara shouted.
"Captain Andala, I want to be loyal to the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. I will lend you this life. You don't want to live anyway. God will forgive me. I will also pray for you." Figo said solemnly.
road.
"Are you crazy? If you dare to take action, your parents and brothers will be hanged." Andara shouted.
"Poof!" Figo pierced Andara's chest with a dagger, and Andara screamed like a killing pig.
Figo kept doing nothing and stabbed Andala more than a dozen times with the dagger, stabbing Andara's chest to pieces, and his whole body was splattered with blood.
"Okay, okay. He is dead." Zhang Yanling said with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.
Figo sat down in a pool of blood and gasped for air.
