The night sky is dark, can’t see five fingers, Qian old royal historian and his party with torches, carrying lanterns, all the way to shine brightly. Of course, the money the old royal historian riding in the eight-carried sedan chair inside the brighter, eight bridge is spacious enough, the compartment wall hanging four from the Ru kiln wind lamp, the sedan chair will shine like day.
Qian old imperial historian sitting against the soft cushion, holding a volume of books, read with great interest. A concubine of twenty-eight years of age, with a delicate face, wearing a fox scarf, sat beside the old imperial historian Qian, and from time to time, sent a peeled mandarin orange into the mouth of the old imperial historian Qian.
“Master, this sky is getting cloudier and cloudier, and the concubine reckons it’s about to snow. Luckily, we’ll be arriving at your lordship’s house soon, or else I’m afraid we’ll be stuck in the snow halfway tonight ……”The beautiful concubine lifted open the window of the sedan chair, took a look outside, then closed the curtains and twisted her head to say to old imperial historian Qian in a petulant voice.
“Hehe, Beaver Slave, this is the south, not your northern land, this snow again, can’t trap people, but rather add a few poetic points.”Qian old imperial historian reached out and pinched the eyebrow concubine’s face, said with a hefty smile, “Green ants and new spirits of wine, red clay small fireplace. When the sky wants to snow late in the evening, can you drink a glass of wine?”
“Your lordship’s words are so eloquent that the servant girl’s concubine wants to sit around the fireplace and drink a small cup of wine with your lordship.”The beautiful concubine obediently collapsed into the arms of Old Imperial Minister Qian and said in a delicate voice.
“Hehe, what a gluttonous civet slave, wait until you get home, master will have your way.”Old Imperial Historian Qian was very flattered and said.
“The maidservant concubine’s drinking capacity master knows, the maidservant concubine but a cup is poured, master can’t dislike me.”
The beautiful concubine pampered.
“Hehe, if you get drunk, Master I will carry you to the bed, I promise not to let you freeze.”Old Imperial Governor Qian joked as he embraced the beautiful concubine in his arms.
“The last time Master got the servant girl drunk, just, just ……Master is so bad~~” the beautiful concubine buried her face into the arms of the old imperial historian Qian, dragging her trailing voice to pout.
“Hehe ……”Qian Lao imperial historian laughed out loud, the book in his hand was also put down, and his hands fell on the beautiful concubine’s body.
“Knock knock ……”Just as the temperature inside the sedan chair began to rise, the sound of two consecutive fingers tapping on the sedan chair came from outside, followed by someone reporting from outside the sedan chair, “Your Excellency, the last general has something to report.”
“Ahem ……”Qian old imperial historian instantly will beauty concubine pushed aside, coughed, sitting up, at the same time also did not forget to abandon aside the scrolls and took in the hands, see beauty concubine also sorted out the clothes and did well, reached out to open the curtains, see the report person asked in a deep voice, “General Liu, what is the report?”
“Back to my lord, just now I ran into a villager and learnt a piece of news. It is a matter of your lord’s safety, so my humble servant did not dare to delay and had to disturb your lord’s purification. I learnt from the villager that a group of Japanese pirates came ashore from Shangyu County of Shaoxing Prefecture this morning and attacked Funing Town, which is more than ten miles from here.”
Liu Baido reported.
Baihu Liu was sent by Hu Zongxian to escort the safety of old imperial historian Qian, bringing a hundred heavily armed soldiers with him.
What? A Japanese pirate landed in Shangyu and plundered Funing Town? Funing Town is only about ten miles away from here, doesn’t that mean that the Japanese pirates are already close at hand and may appear in front of them at any time?
Originally, the old imperial inspector Qian who was still calm and relaxed, after hearing that some Japanese pirates came ashore and attacked Funing town not far ahead, his face suddenly changed drastically, his face was as grey as ashes, his back was sweating like rain, his hand holding the scroll could not control the shivering, and he hurriedly asked, “How many Japanese pirates landed in Shangyu, and where are they now?”
“Back to Lord Qian, the Japanese pirates that landed in Shangyu have around one hundred and fifty people.”Liu Baido cupped his fists and reported.
“Only one hundred and fifty people ah ……”Qian old imperial historian heard, immediately greatly relieved, lifted up the heart also put down, fear panic feelings swept away, miserable white face also restored the blood colour, the back of the cold sweat also stopped, holding the scroll of the hand also do not shiver, waist also straighten up.
A hundred and fifty or so Japanese pirates!!!! A mere one hundred and fifty Japanese pirates dare to go ashore to plunder!
In the past, when Japanese pirates came ashore to plunder, there were often thousands or even tens of thousands of them, but this group of Japanese pirates only had one hundred and fifty or so people, this is the ragtag of the Japanese pirates, the worst of the Japanese pirates, right?
Oh, the Japanese only have 150 people, but we have 138 heavily armed servants and 100 regular soldiers, in addition, we also specially recruited 30 guards before leaving the office, and equipped them with excellent armour, which is even better than the armour of the regular army, not counting the other doors and servants, we have a total of 268 soldiers, which is more than 100 people more than the Japanese.Not counting the other soldiers and servants, we have a total of 268 soldiers, which is more than a hundred more than the Japanese.
This kind of strength, self-protection is not a problem at all, the Japanese pirates landed on the shore is to plunder wealth, but not for the sake of war, will not gnaw on the bones, the Japanese pirates from afar to see their own side so many people, the team of hardened warriors, certainly will be far away from the avoidance of away. Oh, of course, if the Japanese are not long-eyed and unlucky to run into them, then it is time for them to make a great achievement. Two hundred and sixty-eight people against one hundred and fifty Japanese pirates, closed eyes can also think of the result, certainly can easily defeat the Japanese pirates, may even be able to capture dozens of Japanese pirates head!
Oh, the old royal historian was returning home from his term of office and encountered the Japanese in the middle of the journey, but he did not panic in the midst of danger and commanded the Japanese well, eliminated the Japanese invaders, and made a great achievement in decapitating the Japanese in the process. ……
Oh, this is a legend that will live on in history! It is also a heavy credit! His name will also be with the residence newspaper spread all over Jiangnan, spread all over the Ming Dynasty, may also be able to reach the Holy Hearing, the history of the name it.
Oh, originally their own resignation, only can shade the eldest son one, with such a merit, also enough to shade their own youngest son.
Thinking of this, Qian old imperial history of the corner of the mouth can not help hooked up, and even the title of the next issue of the residence of the newspaper have thought well: the old imperial history of the home return home to meet the Japanese, like Lian Po when old and strong to establish a great merit ……
“Lord Qian, the latest news we got is that in front of Funing Town, Shaoxing Governor Lord Liu and Guardhouse Xu Qiandu led two thousand soldiers and horses to encircle the Japanese pirates in a wooden building courtyard in Funing Town.”
Liu Baido then reported.
“Ah ……”
The old Imperial Governor Qian couldn’t help but let out a slightly regretful ah when he heard this. Governor Liu and his men had led more than 2,000 soldiers and horses to surround more than a hundred Japanese pirates, which was nearly twenty times the difference in strength, so it was difficult for the Japanese pirates to fly!
The Japanese were not able to make the achievement of beheading the Japanese, not able to give shade to his young son, how can the old imperial inspector Qian not feel regret.
However, there are some regrets, but more is the peace of mind. This is also quite good, he is getting old, it’s better to be safe, Governor Liu, Chien-Tu Xu and the others surrounded and annihilated the Japanese in Funing Town, which is about ten miles away, then he will be safe, because four miles in front of him is his hometown – Qian Jia Village.
“Lord Qian, although the Japanese were surrounded by Lord Liu and Xu Qiandu in Funing Town, for safety reasons, in order to prevent the Japanese from escaping the net and bumping into your lordship, is it better to change the route and stop for the night at Hu Jia Fort, and then rush on the road again tomorrow after my humble servant has scouted out the situation clearly and made sure that everything is safe and sound?”
Liu Baido asked for instructions.
Hu Jia Fort is next to, along the path past a mile or so, is a docking fort with high walls and towers, focusing on defensive functions. Relying on Hu Jia Fort, together with the 200 or so men on his side, he would not be afraid of even a thousand Japanese invaders coming to attack!
That’s why Hundredth Brother Liu suggested this.
Old Imperial Historian Qian heard this, pondered for a moment, and shook his head, “A mere hundred Japanese is nothing to be afraid of, let alone talking about the Japanese that escaped the net! Four miles ahead is this official’s old home, one drum, to the old home.”
Qian old royal historian is so think, if there is a leakage of the Japanese, then they certainly do not dare to go to the official road, in order to avoid the pursuit, they will certainly go to the small road, drilling mountain forests, go to the big road instead of the safety, go to the small road to Hujia Fortress instead of the danger.
In addition, if there is really a leakage of Japanese pirates, their old home is also facing the risk of being attacked by Japanese pirates, they have brought two hundred and sixty-eight warriors with them, so they can arrive at their old home in time, and can also add a safeguard to their old home.
Of course, if you really encountered a leaky Japanese, oh, that’s even better, it’s time for you to take credit for it.
“Here!”
Liu Baifu did not insist and led the order to go down. In fact, he doesn’t think that there is any risk in this trip, there are only a hundred or so Japanese pirates, and they are surrounded by heavy troops, so what can happen, he is just afraid that there will be a leakage of the Japanese pirates that will bump into the old imperial historian Qian and his family, and ruin the good mood of the old imperial historian Qian’s homecoming. Even if there is a leakage of Japanese invaders, with the sword in his hand, the soldiers and horses under his command, and more than a hundred policemen, he will make sure that the Japanese invaders will give up their heads!
