Xiangshan County, Shipu Ancient City.
The ancient city is built along the mountain, by the mountain and the sea, one end is connected with the fishing port, the other end is hidden in the mountain valley, the city wall is also undulating with the mountain, the old house is built with the steps, the streets and alleys go up the steps, when there is the morning fog, the mountain building looms, like a fairyland on earth.
And this fairyland on earth has become a hell on earth at this moment.
Blood flowed down the stone steps that meandered up, and the stalls on both sides of the stone path were all disrupted, and many things were discarded on the ground, and there was a mess, and from time to time a bloody corpse could be seen lying on the ground.
The bamboo shed of a shop built along the mountain path has half collapsed, and there seems to be a pillow hanging on the bamboo pole that is diagonally supported on the ground, but the blood droplets that are still dripping down the bamboo pole indicate that it is a baby in swaddling clothes, the young baby, who was worn on the bamboo pole by the extermination of people's surname, and this little life has not been in the world for a few days, and has spent a lifetime.
The window of a house leaning on the street was open, and on the window lay the corpse of a young woman, half of her body hanging from the window, her long messy hair hanging down the ground, she was dressed, apparently humiliated before she died, blood trickled down from under her body along the stone wall, and the area under the wall became a puddle of blood.
In the depths of the alley, there was a whimpering cry, the sound wafting between the smoke of the burning houses, and the exact location was uncertain, and some of the people who had luckily saved their lives were still hiding, probing and trembling, not knowing if the murderous widows had left.
The county seat of Xiangshan was breached by the Japanese people.
Qiu Fu formulated a strategy of taking the initiative to attack and take the initiative to attack the Japanese, but he despised the power of the Japanese too much.
Originally, the various guards set up by the sea could radiate to the surrounding larger towns, and within their control, the Japanese people did not dare to go too deep and attack the cities with relatively sound defenses.
Passive defense is not a good idea, but it can protect relatively large cities.
Because the county seat of Xiangshan is very close to the harbor, it has always been a place coveted by the Japanese invaders.
It's just that there is a thousand-household office near Xiangshan County, and the Japanese have always had no chance to take advantage of it.
However, according to Qiu Fu's plan to take the initiative to attack, the soldiers and horses of the coastal guards were concentrated, and as a result, the Japanese people who had eyeliner in the coastal city knew their whereabouts well.
This time, the Ming army was successfully led away by the Japanese invaders, they only used hundreds of people to bluff, the main force of the Ming army was transferred away from the mountain, but thousands of Japanese invaders suddenly appeared in Xiangshan Port, and rushed directly to the empty Xiangshan county town inside, burning, killing and looting, almost slaughtering the city.
Xiangshan County was killed in battle, and the entire county town was transformed into a human purgatory under the beastly desire of the Japanese invaders.
Even the sea rush, even a person like him, who has been begging for a living on the water since he was a child, is a little unbearable.
Xu Hu's beard was stubble, his eye sockets were deep, and his official uniform was wrinkled, he sat down on the rock tiredly and asked, "Isn't there any news of Yuxia yet?"
"No, the villain has already found the second master, the second master said" The one who spoke was a bearded man, wearing a military uniform of a hundred households, Xu Hu glanced at him, the man patted the back of his head for a long time, sighed, and changed his words: "The villain has found Lord Ren, and Lord Ren said that he would come and meet Lord Dusi as soon as possible." ” Xu Hu nodded, sighed, and said, "Let everyone go to the island to rest for a while." ” "Yes, Dadang, my lord, we can't fight like this, we've never fought this kind of nest battle, the Japanese say gather when they gather, and disperse when they say they say, on the sea that can't be seen, if people don't want to fight against you, where can you arrest him.
What's more, in order to find someone, our ships were dismantled, and we found outnumbered people, so can we fight although we are used to ships, but we have never been so nightless, like a headless fly on the sea, especially in winter, many brothers are sick. ” Xu Hu said slowly: "It's really not a way to fight like this, I have already put forward my opinions to the top, but if the order is not followed, we have to insist." ” He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Tomorrow, go back to Shuangyu to replenish some food and water, and the damaged ship also needs to be towed back for repair." ” The bearded man said, "Speaking of this ship, I get angry."
The warships given to us were all eliminated by their sailors, and so were the artillery guns, the last time the guns exploded, they injured several of our brothers, and now no one dares to use them, grandma's, everyone is from the court, why do you raise us as stepmothers" Xu Hu was angry and shouted: "We were originally raised by our stepmother, so why don't you talk so much nonsense?"
The bearded man walked away with a snort, and Xu Hu looked at the exhausted soldiers who were walking down from the ship, and sighed deeply.
The county town of Xiangshan was destroyed, the people were killed and wounded more than 10,000, and the operation of suppressing the Japanese invaders for more than a month did not achieve any results.
Qiu Fu received the battle report and was shocked and angry, he knew that the emperor's temper was surnamed Bing, that was an extremely strong and competitive person, he originally boasted of Haikou, but as a result, with the majestic army of the Heavenly Dynasty, he encircled and suppressed the Japanese and was surrounded and suppressed, and the loss of troops was just that, Xiangshan County was almost slaughtered, once the emperor knew that Qiu Fu was secretly frightened, he immediately took this war report to see Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu was talking and laughing with his concubine Wang Ning and Chen Ying, the imperial envoy of Zuodu, in the small hall of the study.
The window was open, there was a light snow this morning, the ground was covered with a thin patch of white, the plum blossoms had bloomed, the dotted plum blossoms were dotted on the brown-black trunk, and the upper side of the trunk was covered with a hairy white, and the bright red petals surrounded the icy and jade stamens, swaying gently in the wind.
Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Xiao Wang read history last night, and had a little experience, so he became a poem. ” Chen Ying was surprised and said: "Is it His Royal Highness's poetry, His Royal Highness's bravery, the world has heard of it, as for His Highness's Hanmo, the minister has never seen it, and now it is really the right one."
Wang Ning also smiled and said: "The minister knows that His Royal Highness is both martial and martial, but His Royal Highness's Wenmo has never seen it, so I just want to appreciate it today." ” Zhu Gaochu smiled slightly, got up and walked to the bookcase, spread out a jade plate Xuan, Chen Ying immediately rolled up his sleeves and studied ink for him.
Zhu Gaoxu thanked him, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote on the paper like a dragon and a snake: "Sparse with light snow, bright and bright."
The dark incense hits the curtain, and the poetry is clear.
Oh handwritten new sentences, different from the other world.
Chasing the ancient emperors, the gains and losses are commented on.
Dirty and green study the traces of the heart, Dan lead is light.
Knowing me and sinning against me, I am ashamed of his name.
The cold moon shines on the window, and it is clear for me.
The whole placket is heavy and self-vigilant, as cold as ice" Only picked up the pen and wrote the first line, Wang Ning had applauded lightly and praised: "The calligraphy of His Royal Highness Haozi is majestic and smart, bold and magnificent, and has its own style." ” Zhu Gaoxu smiled at the corner of his mouth, wrote this poem, gently put the pen on hold, took two steps back, and chuckled: "Please also ask the horse and Lord Chen to evaluate and advise."
"Ah, Your Highness, this poem" Chen Ying searched her intestines and scraped her stomach, and was thinking about the words of sycophancy, the palace housekeeper hurriedly walked in, whispered a few words in Zhu Gaoxu's ear, Zhu Gaoxu's face changed slightly, and then he returned to his composure, and said to Wang Ning and Chen Ying: "Xiao Wang has some mundane things, leave for a while."
So saying, he hurried out with the butler.
"Qiu Gong" In another study, Zhu Gaoxu said with a calm face: "It's New Year's Day soon, and Daming wants to change Yuan Yongle, at this time, we will give such a generous gift to my father, do you think, will my father be happy?"
Qiu Fu is a big old man, he only thought that with the temper of the emperor, he would not be able to accept the shame of the defeat of the imperial army at the hands of the little widows, but he didn't expect this meaning, as soon as he heard Zhu Gaoxu talk about it, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and continued: "Big brother knows that you are my person, you say, when he hears this good news, will he fall into the well and step on us?"
Qiu Fu's face was even more ugly.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "At the beginning of the new year, the envoys of various countries came to congratulate, and when they arrived in Jinling, they saw that the heavenly kingdom was really majestic, and they were beaten by a group of Japanese robbers, and they must be sincere and fearful to me, and they were happy and convinced, and at that time, my father's face was extremely bright, and according to my father's good temper, what do you say he would do?"
Qiu Fu wiped a cold sweat and said, "Your Highness, the old minister is confused, but he didn't expect this layer, so what should we do?"
Zhu Gaoxu paced a few steps in the room with a calm face, and suddenly asked, "Who knows this news now?"

Qiu Fu said: "The county commander, county Cheng, and county lieutenant of Xiangshan County were all killed in battle, and when our soldiers and horses rushed back, the people in the city were saved by one or two, and now Luo Yu has taken over Xiangshan County, and the news is reported by Luo Yu sent a fast horse, so it should not have spread." ” Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flashed, and he said categorically: "The magistrates of Xiangshan County are all dead, and the prefect's yamen will not know the news so quickly."
Immediately sent someone to reply to the letter, asking Luo Yu to control the whole place for me, and the news must not be spread.
In any case, after this year first, don't add to my father's heart."
"Yes, yes, the old minister understands" "Xiangshan County belongs to Ningbo Mansion, this king will send someone to Ningbo Mansion to dredge up, if the Ningbo Governor hears the news, tell him to delay a moment or two, and don't report it for the time being.
In the meantime, you must come back from a great victory, and it is better to capture some Japanese ships, and capture alive some Japanese Japanese who have lost and won, first defeated and then victorious, and presented the two reports together, so that the danger can be saved and the thunderous wrath of my father and emperor can be appeased."
"Yes, the old minister knows what to do, go back and arrange it immediately" Qiu Fu didn't have these eyes, but once someone gave him an idea on how to operate, he naturally understood.
"Slow" Zhu Gaoxu pursed his thin lips, revealing some cold ruthlessness, and said lightly: "If you can't atone for your sins, you know what to do."
"Your Highness is saying" "Find a substitute for the dead" "The old minister understands" Chen Ying and Wang Ning were looking at the poem, and as soon as the door opened, Zhu Gaoxu walked in with a warm smile on his face, and said modestly: "Hehe, Xiao Wang's clumsy work, is it still in the eyes of the two people?"
