Chapter 64 Mission
Jiang Chengzhi did not answer, but gave a wink to the people standing. Everyone immediately clasped their fists out of the door and was on guard.
Jiang Lang's heart couldn't help but sink, and immediately realized a problem: this matter must be extraordinary.
Those who can come to Fuzhou secretly with Jiang Chengzhi must be the one who is most loyal to him and trust him the most. Even they cannot know about this matter, which shows the importance of the matter.
After everyone left the house, Jiang Chengzhi said: "After you left about ten days, the court ordered me to lead a thousand brothers from the headquarters and a thousand sons from the East Factory to Quanzhou, with the purpose of eliminating the increasingly rampant Japanese pirates along the coast. The Jinyiwei was commanded by me, while the East Factory was commanded by Wang Zhongshu, and the commander-in-chief was also commanded by him."
Jiang Lang did not show much surprise. He had already known this information from Ge Qing when he set out, and he knew it somewhat. Wang Zhen probably wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Japanese pirates and also let Jiang Chengzhi die in battle. Forever, there was another link in his plan, which was to make Wang Zhongshu's heroes beautiful, but due to Jiang Lang, this link was a complete failure.
Seeing that Jiang Lang had no reaction, Jiang Chengzhi was not surprised. Instead, he took out a map, spread it on the table, pointed to a place called Yujia Village and said, "Now our people are all stationed here, and according to Wang Zhongshu's information, it is said that all the Japanese pirates are stationed on this small island, with about 500 people."
As he said that, he pointed to a small island on the sea and continued: "According to his will, our Jinyiwei, was asked to drive the Japanese pirates to this place when the Japanese pirates landed, and cut off the Japanese pirates' retreat. The Dongchang was setting up an ambush there and defeating all the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop."
Jiang Lang looked carefully at the map and said, "In that case, our Jinyiwei will face the Japanese pirates directly, and our losses will be the greatest. Even if we can drive the Japanese pirates over, the Dongchang will wait for the effort. Facing the Japanese pirates who have consumed their troops, they can indeed defeat all the Japanese pirates in one go, but the final contribution will definitely be all attributed to Wang Zhongshu. We have killed and injured countless brothers, and we will not get any benefits. On the contrary, if we cannot drive the Japanese pirates to this place, he will have reason to write to the court, saying that we are not doing well and win in the end, it would be fine. If the court fails this time, the blame will be all for us. Under the operation of Wang Zhen's old fox, at worst, we may lose our heads, and at least we may be sent to the frontier."
Speaking of this, Jiang Lang knocked on the place where the Jinyiwei, whom Jiang Chengzhi pointed out, was planning to intercept the Japanese pirates and said, "The most important thing is that we don't know how many Japanese pirates are now. Wang Zhongshu said that more than 500 people are likely to be more than this number. If we send troops according to his wishes, the Japanese pirates might not be eliminated, and the Japanese pirates would have eliminated us."
"oh?"
Hearing Jiang Lang's analysis, Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Then tell me your reasons."
Jiang Lang certainly knew that this was Jiang Chengzhi's intentional test, and he nodded, nodding, saying, "I believe that the Ministry of War also knew that the last time the Ministry of War sent troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates, the scattered group of Japanese pirates suddenly united, and even designed to ambush the Ministry of War, which lost a lot of people. After that, Wang Zhen advised the emperor to ask our Jinyiwei and the people from the East Factory to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. I think that the Jinyiwei will definitely not only have the important tasks of our Jinyiwei, but Wang Zhen's move is probably to take the opportunity to get rid of the adults."
Speaking of this, Jiang Lang looked at Jiang Chengzhi slightly, and saw that he still had an ear-slanting look on his face, and there was no displeasure on his face. Then he continued: "This is Wang Zhen's first purpose, and the second is the princess. The third prince flatly refused Wang Zhen's proposal, and at the same time arranged the princess to Fuzhou in the name of filial piety. On the way, our team actually had spies of Japanese pirates, intending to set up an ambush in Xianren Gorge and rob the princess. If there is no accurate information, under such strict defense, the only explanation is
These Japanese pirates received the instructions of Wang Zhen, and the purpose was to give up Wang Zhongshu to save the beauty and accomplish good things! Third, the Japanese pirates were also used by Wang Zhen. Last time, they relied on Wang Zhen's intelligence to unite and defeat the imperial army. They trusted Wang Zhen more, so they would definitely trust Wang Zhen's intelligence this time, and according to Wang Zhongpiao's astronomy, they would kill all of them. If Wang Zhen's thoughts, it would be a one-shot three birds with one stone, and eliminate us and the Japanese pirates. Wang Zhongshu had military achievements and married the princess, and the court would not go against his father and son."
Jiang Chengzhi nodded, looked happy and said, "I did not read you wrongly. You can see Wang Zhen's thoughts. That's not simple, but now you are a soldier, you are really wronged."
Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "No, be a soldier, so that I will not attract the attention of Dongchang. However, because of protecting the princess, Dongchang has paid attention to me now, which is not a good phenomenon."
Then he told me about being followed on the road.
Jiang Chengzhi frowned when he heard this, and stood up, stomped back and forth for a few steps. His face looked a little gloomy under the light.
Jiang Lang did not look at him, but turned his attention to the map.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Chengzhi stopped and said as if he had made up his mind, "Since the Dongchang noticed you, then you might as well surface. You have made contributions to protecting the princess on the road. At the same time, if we win this game, I can ask the third prince to suggest to the emperor that you will be promoted to a hundred households, although it will be a little more wronged. With your ability, it is absolutely impossible to be a hundred households."
Jiang Lang immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your love."
Jiang Chengzhi waved his head slightly, his eyes fell on the map again, and he thoughtfully said: "According to your estimate, how many Japanese pirates do you think are there?"
Jiang Lang thought about it and asked: "How many troops were used to encircle and suppress the court last time? How many casualties?"
"One thousand five hundred people. There are about six hundred casualties."
Jiang Chengzhi replied without thinking that he naturally knew about such unconfidential things.
"One thousand five hundred people, more than six hundred casualties."
Jiang Lang muttered this sentence and said, "The Japanese pirates should have about two thousand troops, and it is very likely that a leader will be produced among them!"
Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help but change his face and said, "How do you say this?"
Jiang Lang calmed down and said, "The court sent 1,500 soldiers to encircle 1,500 soldiers. The number of people must not be less than 1,500. If it is humble, it will not be easy to form an encirclement. Second, if a counterattack is formed, even if it can resist, it will lose a lot. Now the court has sent 1,500 people not all of them have been wiped out, and more than 600 casualties have been killed. And I estimate that most of these more than 600 people were killed in the early stages. So I guess that the Japanese pirates can only form an encirclement, but they do not have the ability to annihilate all of these 1,500 soldiers, so their personnel will be about 2,000. At the same time, if there is no one who takes the lead, these 2,000 people will still be a mess, and it is impossible for the imperial army to suffer such a huge loss!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "Of course, the first question is that the people from the Ministry of War did not lie."
Jiang Chengzhi immediately looked at Jiang Lang with some attention and said, "You are very accurate. According to the investigation afterwards, there are indeed two thousand Japanese pirates surrounded, but Wang Zhen said that this was an exaggeration from the Ministry of War. He said that there were only about one thousand Japanese pirates, so he sent two thousand people this time."
"Wang Zhen?"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but smile in his heart: If Wang Zhen had understood military affairs, there wouldn't be the Tumu Fort incident later.
Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help knocking on the table and pondered: "If you look at it like this, Wang Zhongshu asked us to face two thousand Japanese pirates. The meaning was very obvious, just like taking the Japanese pirates' hands to eliminate us, it would be a trick to kill people by using a knife."
"And he has a second move!"
Jiang Lang immediately replied: "Wang Zhen also wants to use this to eliminate Japanese pirates. Even if we win by two thousand and two thousand, it will be a tragic victory. If I were Wang Zhen, Wang Zhongshu would definitely win this battle with glorious style. Our Jinyiwei was destroyed and he sacrificed his life for the country. If there were many people in the East Factory who died or injured, Wang Zhen would be a little embarrassed."
After hearing Jiang Lang's words, Jiang Chengzhi was shocked, knocked his fingers on the map, and said coldly: "The navy of Zhangzhou! The navy general of Zhangzhou is called Chenghua, and he was the first person Wang Zhen promoted. Wang Zhen's last move is probably him."
Jiang Lang couldn't help but be stunned and said strangely: "Since there is a navy in Zhangzhou, why does the imperial court still have to patrol the Dongchang and Jinyiwei from all over the place to wipe out the Japanese pirates!"
Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help but shook his head and said, "This is all Wang Zhen's arrangement. What's the solution? Now that we know Wang Zhongshu's vicious heart, we can't sit still and wait for death. Now he is the commander-in-chief, and we can't disobey his orders, but it's obvious that this is a dead end. Seeing my brothers jumping into the fire pit, how can I bear it? This is also the purpose of my coming to you today!"
No matter what, I am a Jinyiwei now, so naturally I can't watch Wang Zhongshu's conspiracy succeed. So when Jiang Chengzhi said this, Jiang Lang immediately nodded and said, "Sir, if there is any order, my subordinates will do their best and die!"
"good!"
Jiang Chengzhi praised: "I want you to go to the Japanese pirates to inquire about information, and in order not to be discovered, you will be alone this time!"
