There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 372 Who robbed who?

What surprised Wu Youwei was that the other party was Caucasian at first glance, with a red beard, and his appearance was different from that of Chinese people, which looked a bit evil.

And the people on the top of the city are bad enough. They know they are foreigners, but they have never seen them. Now most of the grenades went to the red beard. He went to see God after only one wave of bombing!

All the other pirates were blown away!

The range of the matchlock gun is not enough, they have to get close to fight, but why can the opponent's weapon get them?

However, due to the expansion of Shanghai County, the newly built city wall has not yet been completed, but the city gate has been erected, looking at Zhan Zhanxin, which makes the enemy have an illusion that Shanghai County is easy to tear down. After all, the newly built city wall is equal to this The city is new, so it might be so dilapidated inside!

So they rush forward screaming

Amidst the rumbling sound, the red bearded pirate... group was wiped out.

Wu Youwei asked people to quickly clean up the battlefield and replenish the mines.

They also sent people to look at the four villages, and they were fine, only some sporadic stragglers harassed and harassed them, and they were all cleaned up.

This time the pirates landed in autumn, with more people and higher quality than in the spring, because there were a lot of loot, Wu Youwei went to take a look and found the matchlock gun inside.

He was very interested, so he asked someone to clean it up and said: "Send it to the people in the arsenal to have a look!"

It was the first time he saw this kind of thing, but he thought that the people in the arsenal should be more interested.

After cleaning the battlefield, the Huotou army delivered meals, which were still rice, braised pork, and spinach egg drop soup.

But now is the time of war, no one cares about what to eat, as long as they can fill their stomachs with enough oil and water to keep them from starving.

Wu Youwei turned around and asked his staff to make some fish balls, which were made of fish meat. There was no starch at this time, and they were all handmade fish balls: "You don't need to spit out the thorns when you eat this."

Everyone was amused by the master's reason!

You don't need to spit out the thorns, you can take big mouthfuls when you eat, right?

Thinking of the soldiers fighting on the city wall, the steward went out to collect a lot of fresh fish and came back to make raw materials for the cook. The whole family was making fish balls by hand.

Wu Youwei didn't let the people do it, because he needed to be careful, what if he had diarrhea after eating?Besides, he knows that some pirates and Japanese pirates have internal support in the city!

That's why, during the war, he didn't allow people to go out and wander in the streets, let alone let ordinary people get close to the city walls and gates. For this reason, he had people draw dividing lines during construction.

Named "Thunder Pond", anyone who dares to step beyond "Thunder Pond" will be killed without mercy!

The common people all know it, so they are consciously or forced not to approach it.

Another soldier was guarding the entrance of the upper city wall. He did not release two people, but a dozen people. What are two people?More than a dozen talent insurance.

He is lively here, and Wusongkou is not quiet. Zhang Shen is experienced, so this time he went to sea, Zhang Shen stayed behind to command the navy to guard the Wusongkou base camp, and Zhou Zhong followed to supervise the army.

This is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how big the military incident is, there must be the shadow of the internal prison.

Zhang Shen is incomparable to the past. Now he is in high spirits, without the affectation of an eunuch at all, but just like a real man, pointing at the enemy outside, and screaming with the big speaker specially made by Wu Youwei: "Little ones, give our family a bastard!"

However, his swearing was extremely pleasant to the ears of the combat sailors. Many people fired after screaming, and the opposite side died when the cannonballs flew out.

It took a long time to stop, and there was no one standing on the other side.

Zhang Shen narrowed his eyes: "Why does our family feel that the scene in front of us is familiar?"

One of his six little eunuchs followed him and asked, "Father, isn't this what it looks like in spring?"

It's just that the season is wrong, it's autumn now.

"Uh!" Zhang Shen wiped his face: "Well, that's right, let people serve dinner, and fuck off when everyone is full!"

"Okay!" Everyone responded in a loud voice.

The reason for defending the city more intensely than in the spring is because there is no Wantong to lead people to sweep the enemy now. Because of the small number of people, they dare not open the city gate casually. Enough for three years.

Just stuck for a month.

It's just that the people of Jinshanwei sent soldiers out to fight Japanese pirates and pirates like Wantong did. They got a lot of hand grenades and grenades that were kindly sponsored by Wantong before leaving, but they didn't give them guns, because artillery needed time to train.

But that's enough, because the pirates and Japanese pirates were blown away as soon as they met each other, and those people ran away screaming!

They just chased after them, and as soon as the opponent stopped and prepared to resist, a wave of bombs would be thrown over them. Finally, they realized the boldness of the people from Haiwei and Wusongying.

Although the number of Japanese pirates and pirates landing this time was more than in previous years, they were still repelled. Not only were they repelled, but they still failed to harm a village.

It was just that after they retreated to the surface of the sea, they were even more unlucky.

Wu Youwei didn't dare to send troops to chase them even though he knew they had retreated, but Jin Shanwei's men went instead, there are so many of them!

Shanghai County won again, but it was unable to pursue but was able to sweep the battlefield.

After getting the things, Wu Youwei asked people to temporarily park them in the temporary warehouse of the military camp, and waited for Wantong and the others to come back to distribute the things, so he didn't get involved in this.

Then send people out to purchase fresh ingredients such as vegetables, so as to make two meals to celebrate the victory.

When Wu Youwei was thinking about how to write a memorial in the study, the third child of the Zhang family ran in: "Master! Master! My lord, they are back!"

Wu Youwei was stunned when he heard it: "You're back? Why did you come back?"

Logically speaking, the marching army has the habit of scouting, and the scouts have to go there in advance. At this moment...why did the army come back when no one came to see him?

"No, my lord, they went back to the teacher, but they encountered defeated pirates and Japanese pirates at sea!" The youngest of the Zhang family said excitedly: "Someone will spread the word that they will land again after defeating the pirates and pirates!"

Wu Youwei was even more stunned: "Huh?"

The pirates and the sea... are too unlucky!

But since Wantong and the others met them at sea, there was no reason for them to just pass by in such a bland manner, let's just fight!

Wu Youwei could also understand that he would report when he saw him. The man was very tanned, but when he bared his teeth, his teeth were quite white: "Darling, don't worry, the army returned to the court victoriously. Someone from the side has already taken over the government affairs to appease the people, and the army didn't bother, so the Annan Li clan surrendered, but it's a pity that they lost their king, and the people there will feel at ease when my officials from Daming go over."

This is bragging!

How long was it from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty?They have ruled for so many years, and suddenly returned to the embrace of the Han people. Can you get used to it?

But under the power, there are too few ordinary people who have the courage to resist.

So they all... surrendered.

This allowed Daming officials to work better.

However, when Wantong and the others came back, it was a coincidence that they blocked the pirates and Japanese pirates who had retreated to the sea.

The weakness of the Daming navy is obvious to all. Zhang Shen did not let the people from the Wusong camp go out to fight with others at sea.

Even half of the sailors brought by Wantong are people who have practiced countless times in advance.

Otherwise, Wantong would not dare to take people out of Haiping to rebel.

Wu Youwei waited in Shanghai County for three days before Wantong came to the news, but it was not good news: "Master Wan and the others went to chase the pirates, and they also said that if the return trip is blocked by the cold current, they can find any island in the sea." Maodong will come back in spring after the new year.

Wu Youwei was confused: "How can I do that?"

Overseas are not future generations, they are all resort hotels, those places are now deserted, and besides, they don’t bring much stuff, how can they survive the winter?

But the people who came here have already returned to the team, and they will not continue to go back to the sea when they come back, because Wantong and the others cannot be found.

Wu Youwei waited anxiously. In addition to the coastal victory, the Champa victory also came back, and Champa even paid a tribute of one million shi of rice to the imperial court.

It can be seen that there is no shortage of food there, and it is said that rice can be grown there all year round.

So much so that the rice price in Daming has fluctuated, and it is cheaper, but Wu Youwei's Shanghai County still maintains the normal price to purchase this year's rice.

Double-cropping rice makes people here no longer starve, guarding the Huangpu River and the sea estuary, there is no shortage of aquatic products to eat, planting some land at home, doing odd jobs to earn some cash, okay, Shanghai County has realized it ahead of schedule Well-off.

In winter, it is already November, and there is no news from Wantong and the others.

Wu Youwei was so anxious that he ran to the pier every day after finishing his official business, but although there were many people on the pier, they were all businessmen who came to do business.

Because of Shanghai County's success in attracting investment, after many businessmen came here, Wu Youwei launched a tax-free policy in a timely manner. Anyway, Shanghai County is also within the tax-free period, so what if he is tax-free for three years?

Shanghai County can maintain it without charging money. If you have money, you will be willful!

December Guiyou, originally the twelfth lunar month of this year, was supposed to help the hungry people in the capital, but Daming had corn and other overseas products, as well as the million shi rice tribute from Champa, so there was no shortage of food at all.

After the news of the Great Coastal Victory and the Champa Victory spread, people in the north were also ready to move.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Boluohu and Jiasilan repeatedly entered Anbianying and Huamachi, violated Guyuan, Ningxia, Pingliang, Lingong, Huanqing, and went south to Tongwei.

What they thought was that it was impossible for Da Ming to fight on two fronts, but what they didn't know was that what Da Ming was sharp was not the generals, but the weapons.

Long before Liu Ju went to sea, he ordered Jin Yiwei to bring back the blueprint of the grenade. After urgent processing by Emperor Xianzong, he sent it to various border gates to defend the city.

At the same time, cement is used well in Shanghai County, and it can even strengthen the wharf and strengthen the city wall.

Emperor Xianzong also approved the Ministry of Industry to produce a large amount of cement to strengthen the border defense. Now the border of Ming Dynasty is as solid as a rock.

But when they were eating Laba porridge, Wantong and the others had disappeared.

While eating rice porridge, Wu Youwei built a Wusong Building next to the pier, and looked out from the top floor: "I don't know when they will come back.

"If you haven't come back at this point, then it's really time to celebrate the New Year at sea." Zhang Shen sat opposite him, also holding a porridge bowl to drink Laba porridge: "Don't worry, they won't starve to death. That's all. There must be some stock in the pirate's lair."

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have drawn him a map!" Wu Youwei regretted endlessly.

When Wantong was about to leave, he gave him overseas maps, as well as charts marking the islands where pirates and pirates were hiding. After the people went out to sea to pursue them, they walked all the way, saying that they were going to dig the pirate's nest and confiscate the pirate's nest.

Without those things, Wu Youwei was sure that Wantong would not be so ambitious to go to sea to show off its might.

That year, Ryukyu, Hami, and Annan paid tribute.

Annan still came this time, and the tributes were the same as originally agreed, but these were really Annan's own things, and they were definitely not treasures taken out of the state treasury in Champa.

Moreover, everyone in Daming was a little surprised by his courteous attitude and low smile.

In fact, Annan's envoy was also crying in his heart. Whoever let Wantong's army pass by, all their docks and ports were all destroyed, and if they dared to violate the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, this would be the end!

There is also a father-in-law who threatens them to kill them if they dare to sue!

Annan's people were frightened and stupid, and the king fell ill.
