Chapter 155                                                             

Wu Ping's fluke mentality was immediately broken by Yu Dayou.

Within two days, Yu Dayou's army approached Shenzhen Ao, and Wu Ping led the team to fight. The two sides fought fiercely in the northwest of Zi Nan'ao Island, which was the direction of Nan'ao Road close to the mainland, and the sound of cannons was rumbling. It was very fierce.

Yu Dayou's offensive was very powerful. He forced Wu Ping to take charge personally. Only then could he have a fair share of the situation.

Because Yu Dayou's troops did not have an overwhelming advantage over Wu Ping's troops. The smooth waterway was related to Wu Ping's retreat, so the two sides became consumed.

Wu Ping had no time to take care of him.

At this time, it was about thirty miles southwest.

A battalion under Yu Dayou's headquarters was officially boarded.

At this moment, Qi Jiguang looked at the general in front of him, feeling a little worried, but he still made up his mind and said, "Second brother. You must fight this battle well."

"I know, please don't worry, brother, I won't let our Qi family down." Qi Jimei said loudly.

This battalion officer is Qi Jiguang's second brother Qi Jimei. He is only in his early twenties and is already the leader of the battalion, in charge of more than 5,000 people. Qi Jimei can do what she is today. Although Zhou Mengchen asked for Qi Jiguang's protection, even the tacit consent of the capital, and Qi Jimei's own talent.

Needless to say, the protection of Zhou Mengchen and Qi Jiguang is not to mention. Why does the capital still acquiesce?

In fact, this capital does not refer to a specific person, but a hidden rule. Qi Jiguang was granted the title of Yun Zhongbo and became a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. It is different in the eyes of officials. Generally speaking, after the new nobleman becomes a new noble, the court will rely very much in the army for a period of time and even acquiesced to the development of the noble in the army.

In fact, I was originally facing the competition of the old nobles. However, the old nobles were too unsatisfied. In addition, Qi Jiguang was also regarded as a member of the Duke of Feng, so there was little exclusion.

This is a huge inertia.

Even Jiajing was accustomed to this inertia. Especially when facing strong military pressure, why is this? For Jiajing, is it better for Zhou Mengchen to control the power of the army? Or is it better for nobles to control the power of the army?

Although Zhou Mengchen was a civil minister, the emperor was still worried about his power. Most of the nobles had close contact with the royal family. Even the newly-given nobles had to show kindness to the world and take it for themselves. Let them become nobles of the Ming Dynasty, not Zhou Mengchen's old subordinates.

In fact, the matter of Jiajing's division of Zhou Mengchen's generals began very early.

Zhou Mengchen knew something very early. If he was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, these generals could be Zhou Mengchen's old subordinates for the rest of their lives. But if Zhou Mengchen had any inappropriate thoughts, Zhou Mengchen probably had half of his old subordinates came out to change.

During the 200th anniversary of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing was confused about other matters, but he was not confused about what threatened his rule.

There are not many members of Ma Fang and Qi Jiguang family. But even so, under the tilt of Beijing, the Ma family in Shuozhou and Qi family in Yunzhong will be well-known in the next 20 or 30 years. They acquiesced to expand their power in the army, and even their children will be promoted to important positions in the army. This is something that no one can stop them.

Yes, the Ma family and the Qi family are naturally filled with great grace.

Zhou Mengchen is not good at being a bad person, nor is he bad person. He even wants to congratulate the two of them to show that he has no idea of ​​having exclusive possession of the army.

However, Ma Fang and Qi Jiguang were both the first generation of titles. Although they could arrange their disciples to rise to the top, they still had a simple idea that their children must be able to fight. Taking loyalty to the court and being able to fight as their family's positioning.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang has been cultivating Qi Jimei. While Qi Jiguang was studying, he also studied at Datong Academy. He also participated in almost all the battles commanded by Qi Jiguang as a personal soldier. He was a qualified lower-level officer. Then because the Zhejiang Army expanded its army so powerfully. The number of officers was insufficient, Qi Jimei was gradually approaching the position of battalion officer.

Qi Jiguang did not promote it too much.

However, Qi Jiguang also knew that if Qi Jimei was by his side, he would be greatly restricted in the future.

The reason is very simple. The court acquiesced the Qi family to expand its power in the army. But it does not mean that the Qi family can make a decent fortune in a certain place. Qi Jiguang is there, and Qi Jimei is naturally suppressed. If Qi Jimei wants to be promoted, she must be transferred to other troops.

Qi Jiguang was still worried. He was worried that his younger brother was not capable enough, so he would be able to do what he did today.

He actually measured Qi Jimei's ability and felt that there should be no problem for Qi Jimei to complete this mission. But after all, it was Qi Jimei's first independent battle. Everything can happen on the battlefield. How can a brother not worry?

But it’s useless to say anything now. I can only look at Qi Jimei’s performance on the battlefield.

Qi Jiguang patted Qi Jimei on the shoulder and finally explained: "This battle is all about the word "Yang", and there is no room for maneuver. Take down Longao in one go."

Qi Jimei boarded the ship, and dozens of civilian ships loaded a battalion. Under the escort of dozens of warships, he rushed straight to Long'ao.

The so-called Longao is also called Longan Sand.

It is the worst-conditioned port on Nan'ao Island. You can tell from the name that Longan Sand. Generally, the place where sand is called is the place where the water is little sand, which means that it is a beach. You can only dock some small boats. Large boats cannot get close to it.

But compared with other places, the dense grass and trees with rocky cliffs, this is also a place to land.

Qi Jimei stood at the bow of the boat and saw Nan'ao Island getting bigger and bigger in front of her. At the same time, she saw a ray of smoke coming out of the island. She knew that it was discovered by the enemy.

Qi Jimei then took off her top and wore only shorts. She tied her hair. She held a knife and stood in front, looking at more than a hundred people behind her. She shouted loudly: "Before coming, General Qi had already said it. This battle is only one word, the brave will win. Wait a while, you will follow me to fight."

As soon as Qi Jimei's voice fell, she heard the sound of booming cannons. When Qi Jimei heard it, she knew it was the other party's artillery. Then the cannons on the official army's ships also opened fire. With the sound of artillery, Qi Jimei jumped down from the bow of the ship. After she went down, she immediately found that the sea water was in her chest.

The Qi family is from Denglai. Qi Jimei is also good at water. She bit her long knife and swam for more than ten meters. She felt the ground emerging from the water little by little. Qi Jimei held the knife in one hand, dripping with water, grabbed the whistle hanging around her neck, bit it in her mouth, bulged her cheeks, and blew it hard, and the sharp whistle vibrated the entire beach.

Qi Jimei kept whistling and rushed forward. For a moment, the whistles from other aspects also sounded. Then the sound of cannons on the opposite side and the sound of cannons behind her were roaring.

Suddenly, the cannons on both sides became silent for a moment.

The reason is very simple. Wu Ping did not arrange many people here, nor did he have many artillery pieces, only three or five old cannons. Under the firepower of the official navy, they were either destroyed or the firing man fled.

Yes, pirates have never seen this posture. There are not many people who escaped.

However, Qi Jimei had no intention of caring about this. He rushed to the beach and the first pirates fought. Then the Zhejiang army behind him rushed up one after another, fighting with Wu Ping's men. After about a quarter of an hour, the defenders who were placed here could not resist it.

Then they scattered.

From Qi Jimei jumping off the bow of the boat, to now, it is fast, but in fact it is less than half an hour. But it is slow. Qi Jimei looked at the beach behind her, and there were nearly a hundred corpses, and large areas of sea water with abnormal colors. It was the feeling of blood fading little by little in the sea water.

Maybe after waiting for a while, there is no trace of it.

Qi Jimei suddenly felt very thirsty, and her heart seemed to jump out of her chest. Her brain was blank for a while, and it took a while to come back to her senses. The broken nerves seemed to slowly return to their positions. When he rushed just now, he didn't feel anything. With a young blood energy, he rushed and beat him hard. He was sure that the courage his elder brother told him was definitely not like this.

This is not courage, but recklessness.

Qi Jimei has been fighting under Qi Jiguang. She never knew what fear was. Because with the elder brother, the elder brother in his heart is invincible. With the elder brother, they will definitely win. But now it is different. Qi Jimei only realized that he might die and that this battle could be defeated.
