Chapter 445 + 446 How important it is to learn a foreign language
(It was blocked. I wanted to drive a little to test it out. Sure enough, law enforcement must be strict and violations must be punished. I have integrated it into this chapter. It’s annoying...)
Liu Wen took a large ship and returned to Fuzhou, Fujian Province all the way. When they got off the ship, there were naturally people to receive them. These people were also anxious, not knowing what situation they would face in the end. After they got off the ship, they saw the huge port and the crowds of people coming and going.
Everyone was fully clothed and their faces glowed, which made them feel more at ease.
At least, the people here are really living a good life, which is not the same as in Liaodong.
Liu Wenju saw Wang Xuan with an uneasy heart. After entering the door, he knelt down and said, "Sir, the villain's affairs are not done well!"
Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Wenju and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on."
Liu Wenju was also smart and did not dare to shirk responsibility. He directly admitted that he was not doing things well, which resulted in a lot of losses for the people. He was still resentful and resentful. Only in the end did he come up with his own remedies. At least the people's resentments were appeased, not to mention Wang Xuan.
Disappointed, but as a result, the plan in Liaodong may change.
"Why is it like this?" Wang Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with the plan!
"It's all Yang Hao's fault. He was so greedy that he privately lowered the price by three times. As a result, the soldiers didn't know how to cherish it and acted with impunity. That's why it ended up like this..." With a crackle, Yang Hao was beaten.
He was talking like an animal.
Even if Wang Xuan didn't fully believe it, he still gritted his teeth angrily, "Damn it, you're so shameless, right?"
"This Kwantung Army is also rotten. Damn it, we can't count on them at all. Instead of giving money to these bastards, it's better to give it to the people!"
Wang Xuan looked at Liu Wenju and said, "I ask you, if you give the people five taels of silver each and pull them directly from the village, can you bring them out!"
When Liu Wenju heard this, he immediately frowned and began to think. He did not dare to agree rashly. If he did it twice in a row, he would be completely stinky to Wang Xuan. After thinking about it, he raised his head and said, "Don't persuade the people."
The difficulty is how to bring people out safely."
"The Daling River accident happened. The area for hundreds of miles is sparsely populated and the people are very scattered. If there is no support from the army, I am afraid that I will be attacked by the Kwantung Army. By then, the gains will outweigh the losses."
"Moreover, this matter should be settled once or twice. Once we do too much, we will definitely be discovered by the Kwantung Army. After all, there are tens of thousands of people, and the Kwantung Army will not be willing to let us take them away."
"Not only the Kwantung Army, but also the Jurchens will not give in."
Trouble! Wang Xuan also frowned. Although money can make people go around, he is not willing to see it if the price is too high.
"It's impossible to have a large army!" Wang Xuan waved his hand directly. Although he had 50,000 troops in his hands, he couldn't sustain such consumption. Now he has dispersed 6,000 people and rented out another 10,000 people, leaving only 30,000 in his hands.
After five, if it is dispersed, it will not be enough.
Moreover, he felt that it was not worth sending so many people to Liaodong.
Hearing what Wang Xuan said, Liu Wenju's expression darkened. He was really unsure without a large army.
"However." Wang Xuan paused for a moment and continued: "It's not enough for a large army, but it's still possible for those two thousand people."
Liu Wenju's eyes lit up. Two thousand people was a lot. He knew what kind of people Wang Xuan had in his hands. These two thousand people were stronger than the five thousand people of the Kwantung Army. Although they were not necessarily better than the Jurchens, they could
It is definitely a huge force. I never thought that Liu Wenju would be able to control such a huge force one day.
"I will send someone to take two thousand people over, let's take Juehua Island, and build a port base there. Firstly, it can be used as a trading city for the port, and secondly, it can also be used as a garrison for the army."
"Two-pronged approach, if you can get it back directly, do it yourself. If not, pay for it and go directly to the general stationed in Dalinghe. I remember it is Zu Dashou. As for Yang Hao... let him die!"
Wang Xuan's last sentence was an understatement, but it frightened Liu Wenju. He definitely wanted to take revenge on Yang Hao, but he never thought about letting Yang Hao die. He was the Liaodong Economic Envoy and the real frontier official.
How can it be possible to kill a person who is captured by the military and government at will?
Liu Wenju raised his head and glanced at Wang Xuan secretly, and then quickly lowered his head. This man is really brave, and he doesn't know if he can succeed.
In fact, Yang Hao was not in Wang Xuan's eyes at all. Letting him die was simply too simple. He was just a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken.
However, one cannot die in vain, one must also use some residual energy before death.
The matter was settled. Wang Xuan sent an order to mobilize the troops. The preparation time for this departure was a bit long. After all, it was Liaodong, where the weather was freezing. Now it was the Little Ice Age. The southern troops were going to the north. There were climate problems.
You need to worry a lot.
It is necessary to prepare all kinds of supplies for winter in advance. Fortunately, there is no shortage of everything in Fujian now. Quilts, cotton clothes, cotton gloves, and cotton hats can be made with a single order. Heating is even simpler, just a batch of coal stoves.
become.
Only for port construction, cement must be transported from here.
But there are still a few months of winter, so there’s no need to rush.
Moreover, Wang Xuan also wanted to go there in person this time. He had not been to the capital yet, so he wanted to take a look around this time.
A week later, the large fleet set off again, with two thousand soldiers and a group of craftsmen carrying a large amount of supplies and starting the journey north.
Along the way, we cross the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, bypass Shandong, enter the Bohai Sea, and then go all the way north to Juehua Island.
Three hundred years ago, Juehua Island was called Peach Blossom Island in the Tang and Song dynasties, and Juehua Island in the Liao and Jin dynasties. There was also a county town in the Liao Dynasty, and there were some building foundations on the island. Currently, there are 500 Ming navy commanders on the island.
Many people were stationed again to prevent the Jurchens from harassing Jinzhou's rear by sea.
Of course, Wang Xuan knows this information, but so what, it’s just five hundred people, just chickens and dogs!
The large fleet consisted of five thousand-ton warships, followed by five two-thousand-ton transport ships. In broad daylight, they headed directly towards Juehua Island in such a mighty manner.
On Juehua Island, one looked good to the Ming Dynasty, and the other looked very simple to Wang Xuan. On the pier, several navy soldiers responsible for patrol were chatting boredly, looking forward to when they could return to the mainland and find
When I saw a fair and tender girl, a soldier suddenly froze for a moment, then rubbed his eyes vigorously, "This, this, what a big ship!"
Following this exclamation, the other five people also looked outside the dock and saw a series of large ships on the sea in the distance heading straight for this direction.
After all, they were also navy soldiers, so they had some idea of how far the sea was, but the ship looked so big now that the six of them simply couldn't imagine it if it got close.
"Where's the ship? It's so huge?"
"I've never seen it before. I've never seen this type of ship before!"
"Do you want to call the police!?"
"Call the police? No, no, it can't be Jurchens. It's not like I haven't seen Jurchens' ships before, they are small and broken. There is no such big ship in the navy, so it must not be Jurchens!"
"Then where did you say it came from? It can't be from my Ming Dynasty, right?"
"Why not? During the Yongle period, my Ming Dynasty's treasure ship was definitely this big!"
"Uh...this is true. Is it a new treasure ship built by the imperial court?"
The six people were so shocked that they forgot about going to the island general to report the matter.
The big ship slowly approached, and the first one to dock was the thousand-ton warship. Wang Xuan stood on the deck, looking at the military camp on the island and wondering, I have already docked, why are the naval officers and soldiers on the island not there yet?
What's the reaction?
Oh shit!
What kind of quality is this!
Wang Xuan touched his forehead. He had really obeyed the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It would be weird to win the battle!
"Qi Xuefeng."
"The general is here!" Qi Xuefeng took a step forward, cupped his fists and saluted.
"Take our troops to occupy Juehua Island, but any resisters will be killed without mercy!"
"My subordinates take orders!" Say it, Qi Xuefeng turned around and said hello, and small boats began to be lowered from the big ships. The soldiers changed boats and rowed quickly towards the shore. He directly lowered the gangplank and started rushing towards the dock.
go.
On the shore, the six people were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. The captain stuttered and said: "This, this, what are these people rowing off the boat to land for? Why are they so anxious?"
"Captain, I, don't I think these people are good people?"
"Yes, yes, it's not like the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers. Ah, they are rushing over!" The man was frightened and subconsciously turned around and ran away. After running a few steps, he realized that no one was following him. When he looked back,
Then they found that the corps commander and the others were kneeling straight on the ground, with their hands raised in the air, and they actually surrendered directly!
Oh shit!
Spineless!
Very cunning!
"Plop!" He knelt down straight and raised his hands high, his movements were very standard.
Qi Xuefeng, who followed the first wave of people down, was stunned, and then shook his head, "What the hell, they are a bunch of wimps!"
"You can't even recruit people like this as soldiers. They are old veterans and have no training value anymore."
As soon as I walked in, I heard the flattering voice of the captain, "Sir, we surrender and would like to lead the way. I know everyone on the island and am familiar with them all!"
Yes, this was the first time he had seen something so straightforward.
"Okay, get up and follow me. The others will disarm and take custody."
"Thank you, Sir!" These three words made Qi Xuefeng feel a little nauseous as the corps leader said it in a "twisting and tactful way" with a flattering manner.
The other five soldiers of the Ming Dynasty secretly cursed, they were beaten to death by him. Faced with the soldiers who came to disarm, the five of them cooperated very well, and it was so honest that it made people feel distressed.
By the time the incense stick was lit, the 1,500-strong army had already been assembled, and Qi Xuefeng led them directly to kill the navy camp on the island. Wang Xuan didn't even bother to worry about this situation.
It was only when 1,500 people fought to reach 300 meters outside the camp that they were discovered by the people inside. The alarm bell suddenly rang, and the camp fell into an eerie silence for a while. Only the bell kept ringing until a few seconds later.
With a 'boom', the five hundred or so people in the camp exploded...
Just like pouring cold water into a frying pan, the soldiers scattered like headless flies. The alarm bell rang. Everyone thought it was the Jurchens coming for a sneak attack, so they were naturally scared to death.
Wang Xuan's army had practiced this kind of offensive and defensive battle many times on a daily basis. Qi Xuefeng didn't even need to give a command, he just ordered the camp to be captured and surrendered without killing, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Even a small soldier knows exactly what he wants to do!
Even though there are no defenders on the wall of the camp, no one here will relax. Still according to the drill, there are 500 strong crossbowmen aiming at the village gate, 500 swordsmen holding steel shields and steel knives, and their bodies are slightly squatting.
, turned sideways and began to charge. At the moment of the charge, the strong crossbowmen fired arrows directly, covering the entire area near the village gate.
It's more than 100 meters and can be reached within 20 seconds. In the last ten meters, the first two rows of sword and shield soldiers suddenly accelerated. With their shields on their shoulders, they slammed into the village gate. This was completely treating themselves as siege.
The hammer was used.
Two rows, a total of fifty people, hit the village gate almost at the same time. There was just a horizontal wooden door bolt inside. How could it withstand such a violent impact? "Crack!" "Boom!"
The door bolt broke, and the village gate crashed to the ground, causing a cloud of smoke and dust.
After the five hundred people entered, they did not rush to charge. Instead, they set up defenses directly at the door and waited for subsequent reinforcements to enter together. However, after all the fifteen hundred people rushed in, they dispersed into three groups and surrounded them on three sides.
The Ming army general stationed in the camp was enjoying the service of two concubines, holding one of his concubines in one arm and flirting, when he suddenly remembered.
The general was instinctively startled. Hearing the sound of the bell, his pupils shrank, his whole body trembled, and he suddenly got up. His steps were still a little staggering. He rushed out and shouted loudly: "What's going on? What's going on? It's a woman who is really beating me."
Are you coming?"
The two soldiers at the door didn't know what was going on, and replied in panic: "I don't know, no one came to report the news!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Fuck!" the general cursed, and then hurriedly said: "Hurry up and call the guards to come and pack your things. If any Jurchens come, we will run towards the back mountain!"
Having said that, he quickly turned around and went to get dressed. The back mountain was his back-up, and there were two boats, just in case of an emergency.
To be an officer in the Ming Dynasty, there are two skills that must be mastered. One is the ability to run away. Anyone who cannot run will die.
The second is to be able to speak eloquently, how to turn running away into a job, and how to kill good people and take credit. If you can't speak well, you will never be promoted.
As soon as he went back to put on his clothes, he heard a bang and felt the ground shaking. At this time, he didn't care about the two beautiful girls anymore. There was no money to worry about. The beautiful girl could continue in the future.
Buying it and staying here can delay the pursuit of soldiers, so it's not a waste.
Although the two beauties rushed forward, crying and shouting to follow, the officer at this time lost his gentleness and cursed, "Get lost". Then, with a wave of his arm, he pushed the two of them down and immediately stepped forward.
Just go outside.
As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned for a moment. The muscles on his face trembled. He twitched the corners of his stiff mouth. He opened his mouth but no words came out.
The alarm bells came to mind. Within three minutes, 1,500 people rushed into the camp. Five hundred of them, led by the captain of the dock, rushed straight to the residence of the general stationed on Juehua Island.
The camp was not big, with only 500 people in total. Of course, it was said to be 2,000 people. A team of 500 people charged. Most of the rebels they encountered on the road knelt down and surrendered. Only a few stood there in shock.
He didn't move, and was directly hacked to death by the soldiers with swords, showing no mercy at all.
The orders given to the soldiers were very clear. Those who surrendered were not killed, and those who did not kneel down were regarded as not surrendering. Naturally, there would be no mercy. Everything was subject to military orders and there would be no mercy.
From the gate of the camp to the general's residence, it didn't take a minute to rush there. At this time, the general's personal guards had just begun to gather. The fifty-man personal soldiers were all holding some gold and silver, and suddenly they saw five hundred helmets.
The soldiers carrying armor rushed over with murderous intent.
Two Ming soldiers who were standing stupidly on the road were beheaded and were frightened to death.
Why so fast!!
The commander of the Guards was frightened.
war?
Just kidding, look at those steel swords and shields. Ordinary soldiers are wearing iron armor, with crossbows hanging on their waists, and their equipment is better than their own soldiers. Fifty people versus five hundred people, a round of arrow rain will be enough.
Damn it!
run?
The general hasn't come out yet. They are different from ordinary soldiers. They are personal soldiers. The general spends a lot of money to raise them. Their loyalty is quite high. Isn't it a bit unethical to abandon the general and run for their lives alone?
With just such a hesitation, five hundred people had already rushed forward. Qi Xuefeng gave the order to capture the Ming army general alive. The soldiers were naturally prepared. When they got close to 50 meters, the steel sword was sheathed and the crossbow at his waist was directly aimed in his hand.
past,
Immediately being targeted by five hundred strong crossbows, the fifty or so soldiers with gold and silver in their hands suddenly felt a stinging pain all over their bodies, and they raised their hands "uncontrollably" in surrender.
Seeing this scene, Qi Xuefeng rolled his eyes. He was convinced. These Ming officers and soldiers were specially trained to surrender or something. Their movements were too standard!
There is time for training in surrender, why not practice fighting well!?
This is what the general of the Ming Army saw when he pushed out the door. Five hundred strong crossbows were aimed at him. The soldiers around him were leaning against the wall and raising their hands in surrender. He opened his mouth and immediately threw away the things in his hands. As the commander of an army,
How could he be as incompetent as his soldiers!
Absolutely not!
"Pfft!" The general knelt down directly and hit the ground with three loud noises: "Dong", "Dong" and "Dong", "My lord general, this villain surrenders, this villain is useful!"
The general is very smart. Surrender is to save your life, but useless people may not be qualified to survive. Only by embodying direct value can you survive, and even live well!
Qi Xuefeng looked at the Ming army general and sneered, "Okay, you don't have to tell me this. Whether you are qualified to surrender and whether it is useful or not is up to my master."
"Tied!"
The general was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he knelt straight with a flattering smile on his face. He felt very much like Wu Zhichong, the martial arts master who had nine ways to do it in "Let the Bullets Fly."
Don’t dare to resist the heavenly soldiers!”
"Your mother!" Such shameless words were so categorical and righteous that Qi Xuefeng was convinced.
After a while, all the five hundred Ming troops in the camp knelt down and surrendered. After being disarmed, they gathered one after another and squatted together.
Maybe Wang Xuan's training was too strict. When these soldiers commanded the prisoners to squat, they were forced to squat neatly and standardly. They had to squat horizontally, vertically, and neatly.
The general and his soldiers were squatting at the front. They didn't dare to move at all, but they were cursing in their hearts, "These people are really crazy. The prisoners will be done with squatting. Why do they insist on squatting?"
Neat? Are they all perverts? What the hell..."
For a moment, he didn't know how to express his depression!
I have never heard of it since ancient times. Prisoners need to squat neatly!
Your mother!
He is really afraid. He feels that these people are more difficult to deal with than the Jurchens. The Jurchens will not ask for this after they surrender!
Even Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment after seeing it, it was interesting!
"My lord, my subordinates are fortunate to have fulfilled their orders. All the prisoners are here."
"Are there any casualties?"
"There is not even a scratch on the skin. These Ming troops are simply, worse than trash. It feels like they have been trained to kneel down and surrender. The rest... is gone!" Qi Xuefeng said while shaking his head.
"What the hell!?" Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard this.
"Kneel down and surrender, extremely standard!"
Pfft, Wang Xuan was even amused.
As they talked, the two walked up to the prisoner. Seeing the prisoner squatting so neatly, they couldn't help but ask, "Why should the prisoner squat so neatly?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "There are so many." Qi Xuefeng answered casually, "In this way, it is clear at a glance how many prisoners there are. If one of them dares to make any strange move, he will immediately stand out.
"
o(￣▽￣)d, Wang Xuan couldn't help but give Qi Xuefeng a thumbs up, "Well done, we will promote it throughout the army in the future!"
Beautiful, Qi Xuefeng secretly praised himself, as long as there are prisoners in the future, Wang Xuan will remember him, this is his original creation!
With joy in his heart and a smile on his face, he pointed at the Ming army general kneeling at the front and said, "This is their leader, called Bi Yongshou. His surrender gesture is the most beautiful."
Oh? Wang Xuan became interested. He looked at Bi Yongshou and said, "What is the standard method of surrendering? Come on, show it to me."
"e=(′o｀*))) Oh!" Bi Yongshou smiled brightly and looked very happy. He stood up and shook his numb legs, making sure that his movements were standard and his posture was beautiful.
Taking a deep breath, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn. With a bang, he knelt on the ground, without any buffer at all, and his back was straight. Then there were three bangs, then he raised his head, and his face suddenly became full of momentum.
There was a faint radiance of glory, "Sir, the villain surrenders, the villain is useful, the villain is particularly obedient!"
Immediately, he repeated it again in Jurchen dialect and Mongolian dialect, which showed that it had been refined over time.
Hold!
Wang Xuan was shocked. He knew so many foreign languages!?
How shameless to reach such a state, what a talent!
"Can you tell me what the last two sentences are about?"
"Hui Daren, they are Jurchen and Mongolian respectively, and they mean the same thing. The villain surrenders, the villain is useful, and the villain is particularly obedient."
"How did you come up with the idea of learning this?"
"It's better to save your life if we lose the battle. Now that our Ming army is outside the pass, we have never won a battle. I am also prepared to avoid being hacked by someone."
Hahaha, he said surrender so confidently that Wang Xuan successfully made him laugh. This shows how important it is to learn a foreign language.
"Have you never thought about fighting those foreigners to the end? Are the Kwantung Army like you now?"
"They are all like villains. As long as it is a field battle, Shangguan will take the lead in escaping. Villains cannot outrun Shangguan. If they don't practice, they may not be able to save their lives at the critical moment."
What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
Faced with such a clever little devil, Wang Xuan had no choice. Didn't Zhou Shuren say that if a tree doesn't need bark, it will die without a doubt, and if a person has no shame, he will be invincible in the world.
Even a piece of dog shit is useful, and Bi Yongshou is also a talent. Wang Xuan feels that this kind of person still has some uses.
Looking at these 500 Ming troops, it is impossible to recruit them, but it is not bad to be coolies. There is a shortage of labor force to build the island base, so it is them.
Naturally, he did not need to worry about these things. After giving the instructions, Wang Xuan took Bi Yongshou and Liu Wenju to the largest room.
Bi Yongshou's two concubines were still crying inside. They were too frightened to cry when they saw Bi Yongshou coming in behind Wang Xuan like a pug.
Wang Xuan definitely looked down on this kind of vulgar fan. He waved it away and sat down at the main seat. He looked at Bi Yongshou who was standing there bent over and said, "Want to live or die?"
"Pfft." Bi Yongshou knelt down simply, "If you want to live, if you are told to do so, you must do your best."
"Are you familiar with Zu Dashou?"
"Familiar, good brother!"
"Okay, I believe you. I am a kind person. I usually give my subordinates two chances to make mistakes. No one has ever made three mistakes."
Bi Yongshou was so sweaty when he heard this. No one has ever made three mistakes. How can this be called kindness?
Damn it, "Boom!" He banged his head on the ground, "The adults are kind, and the villains will do their best."
wang
manage."
"I obey." Liu Wenju agreed and then hesitated slightly: "Yang Hao would definitely not do it if he knew about it. Didn't all the money he got go away?"
"Humph, tell Zu Dashou not to worry about Yang Hao. He will be alive in a few days. This is also a shock to save Zu Dashou from doing things with money." Wang Xuan said lightly but frightened Bi Yongshou to tremble. This
Who is this master? He is so cruel. Yang Hao is the biggest official in Liaodong and he kills him whenever he wants.
Isn't that just bragging?
"Okay, I understand." After saying that, he glanced at Bi Yongshou, and the two of them went out together.
After Bi Yongshou went out, he looked at Liu Wenju with a flattering look on his face, "My lord, I haven't asked you about Gao's name yet."
"Don't call me sir, I'm just a businessman. My name is Liu Wenju. From now on, we will work together." Liu Wenju didn't see Bi Yongshou clearly. Such people can live a long life, and only by living a long life can they have a chance to live.
good.
"Brother Liu, I don't know who this old man in the house is, so I know who to work for." He knew how to climb up the ladder and directly called the eldest brother and the younger brother.
"My surname is Wang, and my name is Xuan. I am called Mr. Wuzhou, or Mr. Fujian. No matter how many names there are, you don't have to think about it. Just do your job well. You are already on a high branch."
(Some readers have questioned whether all villains should be whitewashed. The answer is no. What is white and what is black? Those who follow Wang Dashan Ren Xuan are white, and the others are all black!)
