Beiyang new warlord

With a bang, the prison where Luo Zhen used to yell at people to be imprisoned was opened to him this time, and both hands were shackled. At the prison door, Mr. Luo roared mournfully.

"let me out!!!"

Unfortunately, no one pays attention to him!

Chapter 859. The Waves Rise in the South China Sea

Jiangnan, the richest and most densely populated piece of cake in the Ming Empire, is now swallowed by Mao Jue. From Nanzhili in the east of the sea to Chongqing in the west, the vast land north of the Pearl River also belongs to Under the black banner of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

But seeing that the unification of the empire is just around the corner, those provinces that have not yet been brought under the rule are still unwilling to set off waves, so that a storm power that Mao Jue didn't expect is brewing.

Fujian, Lianjiang County, beach.

Even though it was late at night, the wet beach was still buzzing with people. In the dense darkness, the sound of chaotic footsteps stepped on the sea water. I don’t know how many people fled forward in panic. Not far away, a road The blazing fire dragon chased them, and excited shouts and gunshots could be heard from time to time.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of assigning princes to various places has worked. The world is full of Ming court princes. After Li Zicheng captured the capital and destroyed Chongzhen's northern court, Fu Wang Zhu Yousong immediately ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with the support of the Six Ministries of Nanjing. , re-established the rule, Nanjing is now sinking, and the Donglin landlords and local bureaucrats who fled south have re-emerged like broken earthworms.

No. 17 days after Emperor Hongguang surrendered, He Tengjiao, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, supported the Tang king Zhu Yujian who had fled here from the south, and proclaimed himself emperor.

However, if it is just to establish a name and establish a dynasty, with Mao Jue's lazy personality, at least he will not pay attention to him this year, at least he can survive the first year of Longwu, but I don't know whether it is because I feel good about myself or become emperor Promotions have been inflated. As soon as the title was established, Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian and the First Assistant University scholar He Tengjiao, the second assistant Huang Daozhou, and Shangzhu King Zhiren commanded an army of "17". For the imperial capital.

To be honest, this strategy is also right. If you defend Guangdong and Guangxi, you must defend Fujian! Only by relying on the dangerous and important pass of Xianxialing can we have the strength to fight. The only problem is that Zhu Yujian did not see his own strength clearly.

Where is Fuzhou?The lair of the One Piece King Zheng Zhilong. Although this city belongs to Mao Jue in name, it is actually almost handed over to him for self-government. Most of the pirates in the South China Sea live here. It is truly a pirate autonomous city.

At this time, the Ming pirates have evolved to be similar to the British pirates in the Victorian era. A large group of ship owners and cargo owners are national pirates with private plunder certificates. The Ming navy is still wandering around in Southeast Asia next to the Indian Ocean generation, but their footprints have already reached. The Red Sea bypassed the Cape of Good Hope and reached the west coast of Africa. While bringing their own goods for sale, they robbed the merchant ships of the Mughal Empire, the Mamluk Dynasty of Egypt, Spain, France, Venice, Genoa and other enemy countries, and even the furthest ones went directly to the allies of Britain. On the mainland, the romantic days of licking blood and earning gold coins with the tip of the sea are mixed up, and the pirates are not easy to mess with.

The Battle of Fuzhou is estimated to be the most wonderful battle in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Even the Governor of Fuzhou, the Fuzhou Guards of the two regiments under the command of Hailing Gong Zheng Zhilong did not come out to fight, and even the city gates of Fuzhou were not even closed, so they were released directly. Zhu Yujian's Xu army came into the city.

Then a group of poor jingle, put down their hoes before picking up their knives and spears, and the guard soldiers who went into the city to plunder happily found themselves in the wolf's den!

bang~

The door of the tavern on the side of the street was slammed open, and the two Pengjun who had just entered with a burst of excitement were kicked back at the same speed, rolled around the street a few times, and spit out A mouthful of blood with teeth.

Immediately afterwards, inside the crooked door, there was a big pirate brother wearing a three-legged cap, a tattered sailor gown, and a few big gold chains full of social atmosphere around his neck. His head was oily and braided, and he was holding a wine bottle in one hand , holding a machete in one hand, walked out slowly, dangling in a daze.

The one who was beaten was a small officer, covering his mouth full of blood, and he waved his knife angrily and pointed forward: "The tricksters dare to attack the officers and soldiers! Kill them!"

Hearing his yelling, hundreds of soldiers from the Liangguang Guard outside nervously pulled their spears down the tree. However, they all yelled hi, but none of them had the courage to come up and fight.

If the guards were reliable, they wouldn't have allowed 47 Japanese pirates to defeat tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and kill them all the way to the city of Nanjing.

In the heroic roar of a group of officers and soldiers, the pirate brother sobered up a little, and clacked his ears with the little finger of the hand holding the wine bottle, and then he started yelling in Mandarin.

"Brothers, it's time to move your arms after you've had enough wine! Master Longtou opened a head for 30 taels of silver, which is much easier than we go through the wind and rain! Come on! Cut the silver!"

In the fearful eyes of a group of guards, suddenly, in the windows of the tavern, through the cracks in the door, countless black muzzles of short-fired guns protruded.

The crackling sound was like the explosion of firecrackers, and the soldiers of the Liangguang Guard who were still holding their spears and staring at it were as if they were hit hard by an invisible fist. A large group of people flew out backwards, spitting blood, followed by the tavern In the midst of the attack, countless drunken pirates rushed out ferociously with scimitars and short firecrackers.

With a click, the frightened and paralyzed little officer was stepped on his chest, and his head was chopped off. He held his hair in one hand, and the big pirate brother who was holding the head grinned grinningly and bared his rotten teeth. At that time, hundreds of soldiers from the Guangdong and Guangxi Guards threw away their weapons, turned around and fled.

This scene happened everywhere in the streets and alleys of Fuzhou City. The vicious desperadoes treated the fighting as a game, with freshly beheaded heads hanging from their waists, grinning and swinging their bloody pirate machetes, baring their teeth and screaming strangely. They rushed out, and in front of them, those peasant soldiers who had just put down their hoes fled desperately, crying for their parents and mothers.

On the other side, I thought that Fuzhou City had been captured without bloodshed. He Tengjiao was still surrounded by Emperor Longwu's yellow umbrella, and the emperor's car was driving towards the city gate. The flood rushed out like that, and for no apparent reason, the "17" army of the Longwu Dynasty was defeated just like that.

This is where the opening scene begins.

The sound of chasing behind is getting closer and closer, the sailors are exhausted and follow them to Europe, only a few dozen taels of silver a year, this cut off a head, half a year's income, no risk and high income, I don't know how many pirates are excited behind He was chasing after him, falling behind, and the screams of the guard soldiers whose heads were cut off by the machete continued to be heard like ghosts. In desperation, Zhu Yujian pulled out the Shangfang sword he was wearing and put it on his neck. He stretched out his hand and wanted to wipe his neck, so scared that He Tengjiao hurriedly grabbed the hilt and grabbed the sword, screaming in horror.

"Your Majesty! Why is this so!"

"I am the son of heaven, how can I be humiliated by these despicable and dirty thieves!!!"

Pulling on the hilt of the sword, Zhu Yujian couldn't stop screaming miserably.Although he had been imprisoned in Fengyang Prison for several years and had suffered a lot, how had he ever seen this scene of white knives entering and red knives coming out, harvesting human heads like wheat, his whole body was trembling violently in fear.

"Your Majesty, we haven't reached that point yet! We still have reinforcements!"

Hugging Zhu Yujian's thigh was also trembling with fear, He Tengjiao couldn't stop shouting, but even Long Wu, who was shouting, roared.

"Reinforcements are here! Where are the reinforcements?"

reinforcements?There really are!

Running until his feet were soft, he thumped and fell to the ground. A panting guard knocked his head on the ground in horror, but he didn't even have a trace of mercy. His waist was covered with human heads. Shaking the scimitar on his wrist ferociously, he came over, and while walking, he even discussed whose waist his head would hang on.

But at this moment, the sound of splashing water was introduced into the ears of these pirates, and there was a feeling like itching in the eardrums. The pirates were too sensitive to this sound!He suddenly turned his head towards the seaside, and he didn't know who made the first scream.

"There are gunboats on the water! Fanzi's gunboats! Run away!!!"

Boom~

Before the words fell, the big iron ball slammed into the pirate team chasing after them in the night, and in the darkness, those torches were scattered everywhere like they were thrown by bowling balls.

Boom~Boom~ Tongues of fire sprayed out on the dark sea surface, heavy solid bullets, grape bullets, and chain bullets of all sizes slammed on the beach like rain. For a while, the Fuzhou Pirates Department was turned on their backs, alive He also threw the torch in a panic, and fled back in all directions, chasing fiercely, and was smashed to pieces by the sudden shelling for a while.

They hugged each other very basicly, watching the dark battleship like Shenbing Tianxiang slowly approaching in the sea, Zhu Yujian and his ministers hugged each other and wept loudly.

Zheng Zhilong Baodao was old and had already lost the ambition of his youth. Coupled with caution, after the pirate team was repulsed by artillery fire, he was not busy sending troops to pursue them. He waited until dawn, and Fuzhou released more than a dozen gunboats out of the port.

Yesterday, the Fuzhou pirates won. After coming out of Fuzhou, there were dozens of miles along the road where the corpses of Liangguang Guards who had their heads cut off were endless. Only at the positions where they were bombarded were there more than 100 pirate corpses.

The boat stopped in the deep water area, and dozens of large boats were rowed ashore again. Standing on the soft sand, Zheng Zhilong frowned and looked at the traces on the opposite side. According to the traces of the boat being dragged, there should be thousands of Longwu's defeated soldiers. If they can pick up this defeated army, the opponent's scale is obviously not small.

While Zheng Zhilong was looking around, several pirates under his command ran over hurriedly carrying an iron ball full of blood and pieces of meat, panting.

As expected of an old pirate, he stepped on the solid iron shell and turned over. Zheng Zhilong's expression became more solemn, and he shook his head heavily with anxiety.

"Dutch! Da Ming has done something to me!"

Chapter 8 Sixty. Miss Chu Family

Mao Jue was engaged in the construction of humanistic care in the huge Ming Dynasty. Even the prisons were unified and newly built, just like the Dai County Prison where Anggetour was detained before, with a newly built small building and sunny cells, but here In the newly conquered Jiangnan, Mao Jue's humanistic care has not yet progressed here.

The prison in Jurong County is simply the most disgusting, filthy, and unbearable place Luo Zhen has ever been in. The prison is half buried in the ground, and the air is so cold that it makes people shiver, and the straw thrown on the ground does not know how long. It has been replaced, half of it is rotting, and half is still mixed with fecal garbage, filth, the air, foot odor, body odor, feces and urine are mixed together, emitting a particularly peculiar smell, which makes people unable to stay for a minute. There are mice or snakes crawling around at any time.

Every second is like a year to Luo Zhen.

The whole person is curled up in the corner like a ball, every minute and every second is like a year to Luo Zhen.

Suddenly, the prison door slammed open again, and for a moment, he ran over in two hurried steps as if he had been electrocuted, grabbing the prison door and shouting please like a lunatic.

"Let me out! I am the young master of the Luo family! The young master of the Luo family in the south of the Yangtze River! The current emperor and my sister are best friends! Please let me out quickly! I know I was wrong!"

Crying, he also smashed his head on the hard cell door, and slumped down.
