Chapter 160 159 Confrontation

In the past few days, the army stayed in Zhongxi Town. Zhang Hongfu and Wei Guangde naturally couldn't rest. They just looked for a boat to travel to Taihu Lake and ate all the aquatic products from Taihu Lake.

The silverfish, white fish, white shrimp, and naturally Taihu crabs in Taihu Lake are their targets. Wu Dong and Wei Wencai who came out were also feasted on them.

Originally, at this time, Wu Dong and Wei Wen, who were the officers in charge of the team, could not leave the team, but who said that the leader was their father, who waved his hand and didn't even say a heavy word, let the four of them go out.

Just play.

Although the Japanese pirates have been eliminated, there is one thing that the cavalry team is still spread out.

This time, fifty-one Japanese pirates were eliminated, but it is unknown whether there were any separated Japanese pirates before, so they came out and brought more than twenty personal soldiers around to protect their safety.

On that day, the boat was docked, and a few people got off the boat and boarded Huishan next to Taihu Lake. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the entire Taihu Lake, but the lake surface was sparkling, and there were occasionally sail shadows on the lake. Horses could faintly see the mountain in the distance. It was a small one in Taihu Lake.

The hills on the island.

"Is this what the lake and mountain scenery mean?"

Zhang Hongfu suddenly asked Wei Guangde.

"You say yes, it's just a description. There are lakes and mountains, which means the scenery of the lake."

Wei Guangde replied casually.

The roasted food was on the mountain, and several personal soldiers were busy there. Zhang Hongfu was already playing with Wu Dong and Wei Wencai.

Wei Guangde was not good at this in his previous life, and he still has no feelings for it. Although he occasionally ended up, he only came on the field if he couldn't push it away.

To be honest, I have been walking in the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake countless times. Wei Guangde is already a little immune to the mountains and rivers and doesn't think it's very good, but the fish and shrimps in the water taste really good.

"I'm going around, you guys are playing here."

Wei Guangde said to his elder brother and the others, and went down the mountain with four personal soldiers.

Following the mountain road and going up the official road, Wei Guangde actually planned to go back to the boat and take a look. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the official road in the distance. There were not many horses.

In a very normal reaction, Wei Guangde and others stood by the road, looking for the sound and seeing where the horse team was. There were no other garrisons nearby, and only Zhongxi Town had their people.

It is not yet confirmed that all the Japanese pirates were destroyed. They are worried that some of them will escape, so they are waiting for the horse team to come over and confirm what is going on.

Soon, the horse team ran closer. The six people behind him seemed to be dressed as personal soldiers and had complete armor. The man was not wearing a helmet and armor, but he was an ordinary civilian dress.

Well, officials don’t wear official clothes all the time. They are not office work, and they are still dressed casually.

However, Wei Guangde and his six men stood by the roadside, which naturally attracted the attention of the cavalry. There was no place in front of the village or the shop behind them. A few people suddenly appeared, four of whom were carrying waist knives and bird guns.

Before he got closer, the man strangled his horse and stopped not far from Wei Guangde and his group of people with his eyes fixed on Wei Guangde and his group.

Seeing this situation, the six personal soldiers behind the man immediately dispersed to their wings, as if they wanted to surround them.

When Wei Guangde frowned slightly, Zhang Ji had already rushed forward to block Wei Guangde's body, and the two personal soldiers behind him pulled out their waist knives from their waists at the same time. They also removed the bird guns from their backs and started loading on their sides.

, very skillful in movement.

"Who are you and why are you surrounding us?"

Wei Guangde felt a little unhappy. He just stopped by the roadside to look around. The team immediately surrounded him. Did he meet the legendary officers and soldiers who saw fat sheep occasionally pretending to be bandits?

Do you think of yourself as a fat sheep?

Wei Guangde read too many novels in the late Ming Dynasty in later generations. It was a chaotic era. Sometimes it was really hard to tell the difference between the government army and the bandits.

Even now, when the imperial court has strong control, it is said that the border town is in chaos, and business caravans must bring a lot of good people to protect them when traveling.

Although this place is inland, it has just been suppressed recently. If they really become thief-hearted, they can be pushed to the Japanese pirates later.

Just as the man behind Wei Guangde was loading the bird gun, the six soldiers of the other party had already taken out their bows and arrows, and the arrows were placed on the bowstrings, but they did not open them.

Although Wei Guangde can tell from his clothes that this group of people should be an official army, it is just that because the leader wears ordinary clothes, he naturally cannot tell where the other party comes from, let alone the meeting seems extremely unfriendly.

It is obviously similar to the other party on my side, so it is impossible to see that the four people on my side are not from the army.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man opposite said, but ignored Wei Guangde's question and directly questioned them.

Wei Guangde looked at this group of people. The leader looked in his forties and his skin was a little dark, as if he had been on the beach all year round. Moreover, his figure was also very powerful. The six people he brought were similar in appearance, and it seemed that they were

It looks like a pirate.

In Wei Guangde's heart, if the Ming people do evil, they will be pirates, but not Japanese pirates, but Japanese people will be.

"Who are you? I'll ask again. If you don't answer, don't blame me for being rude."

Wei Guangde's tone became stern. There were more than a dozen people on the mountain in the distance, and there were also people on the boat by the lake behind him, so he was not afraid of what the other party wanted to do.

If the government army wants to bully them and want to steal some money from them, Wei Guangde doesn't mind teaching them a lesson.

With preconceived ideas, Wei Guangde's eyes became unkind when he looked at those people.

However, there are fewer people around Wei Guangde. Although there are bird guns, it is still a bit of a loss if they really match them. Even if the bird guns are fired, they will attract the elder brother and the others.

"The Japanese are being suppressed here. You are here. There are no villages for more than ten miles away. Where did you come from?"

The man still did not answer, but continued to question the identities of Wei Guangde and others.

"You guys first talk about who you are? Don't scare me, the young master is not scared."

After saying this, Wei Guangde turned around and took a bird gun with ammunition from a personal soldier, and suddenly felt much more courageous.

Seeing that the other party was still not going to speak, Wei Guangde took a step forward half a step, but was still behind Zhang Ji. He had raised a bird gun in his hand and pointed the gun at the head of the leader.

His sudden actions also shocked the other party.

After all, Wei Guangde was still in his teens and looked gentle because he studied all year round. Obviously, they did not have such decisive reactions as Wei Guangde could directly point the bird gun at their adults.

While the man frowned, two cavalry beside him had already rushed over to block Wei Guangde's gun, while the other four men set their bows and arrows aimed at Wei Guangde.

Even though Wei Guangde had Zhang Ji, the flesh shield, could block the arrows shot from both sides, and Wei Guangde instantly sweated on his back.

The feeling at this time is more intense than when the Japanese pirates were killed a few days ago.

At that time, I didn't feel any danger at all.

But now it's different. He is fighting with the other party's people.

In just a moment, Wei Guangde recovered because the gap on both sides of his body had been firmly protected by two personal soldiers. Now there are people in front of Wei Guangde and on both sides.

It was safe, Wei Guangde quietly breathed, and it felt really uncomfortable to be aimed at by four arrows just now.

"Do you know what the bird gun in your hand is? This is a firearm.

The Ming Dynasty law, for those who are private private vests, fire tubes, cannons, flags, and digits, etc., one stick is eighty, each piece is one more; for those who are privately crafted, one more level of guilt is one more level of guilt, and each crime is one more level of guilt is one more point of cadre

A hundred, three thousand miles away.

Do you think I want to take you, right or wrong?"

The other party's words made Wei Guangde confused and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Daming Rule, the other party was right in his back. It was indeed strictly forbidden for private individuals to own war horse armor and firearms. Wei Guangde now knew why the other party stopped to target him. It was all caused by the bird guns on the backs of four personal soldiers.

War horses and armor were strictly prohibited from being kept privately in all dynasties. The Ming Dynasty also strictly prohibited the people from possessing iconic items such as firearms and flags. Later generations of bows and crossbows were passed down. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, it was not prohibited from being used by the people.

Of course, this crossbow is a single-person crossbow. If you want to make it a crossbow cannon or a large crossbow chariot, it will definitely not work.

"We are also an official army."

Wei Guangde immediately knew that he could not admit that these people were private soldiers, and even if they were not allowed to admit that they were.

In fact, the private soldiers of the Wei family were all hanged in Jiujiang Guards and were all from military households.

Emperor Zhengde carried out military reform and finally turned into a half-finished project. In fact, the generals had already managed to support the family members according to the grade, but after all, they could not be mentioned in public.

The other party wanted to check their identities with a firearm, but Wei Guangde couldn't say anything. He lowered the bird gun in his hand and stopped aiming at the other party.

In fact, his previous actions were just trying to act, but he didn't dare to shoot, as the other party was probably an official of the court.

Even though Wei Guangde put down his bird gun, he would not wait to die.

"I have someone verify your identity for you, and you must also explain your identity. We are searching for any arrested Japanese pirates, you."

Wei Guangde didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very obvious. You look like Japanese pirates.

"Zhao Er, give them your waist card to test."

Wei Guangde said to his personal soldiers.

Zhao Er immediately did as he did, took off his waist card with his left hand and threw it directly at the opponent's nearest soldier. The man was also very skillful and caught it with one hand. After looking through it, he turned around and nodded at the person behind him.

But then he turned around and looked at the waist card carefully, and then whispered to the back: "Sir, they are from Jiujiangwei, so they should not be wrong."

Logically speaking, it is definitely impossible for the soldiers of Jiujiang Guard to appear here, but at this point in time, there will be no mistakes.

"I'll take a look."

The man flipped back and forth from his personal soldiers, "The Thousand Houses of Right Army."

The man muttered in a low voice, then handed over the waist card. The man didn't leave it in his hand and threw the waist card back.

Wei Guangde made it clear according to the situation. Although he was not sure how far this place was from Zhongxi Town, he thought it would not be more than thirty miles away.

If someone checks, they will naturally have to check back. Although they can't find an excuse, Wei Guangde had an idea in his mind, judging from their appearance.
