No one has noticed that Haifansi's civil engineering projects have been adding more craftsmen these days. There are many strange buildings in many places.
A ship secretly unloaded its cargo at night. Xu Qin used the name of Haifansi to write a message to the nearby guard station, informing them that Japanese pirates were approaching from the sea and asking them to strengthen their vigilance.
As for whether it will attract their attention, I don't know.
"I have sent someone to contact them, and there will be a reply soon." Dai Deqing said to Xu Qin.
The two men stood on a nearby mountain and looked at the direction of the river. Maybe the Japanese pirates came from that direction.
"Several millions of dollars, plus you as an insider, must be tempting enough." Xu Qin said.
In fact, he had no idea, so he could only make complete preparations. He did everything he could think of, depending on when the Japanese pirates would come.
At night, Xu Qin led Xu Fugui and Xu Hao, put on their cloaks and led the dogs, and began to patrol around under the leadership of the urban management.
On the surface, everything is calm in Liujiagang. In fact, the Ming Dynasty Royal Silver is the center, surrounded by bunkers, ditches, and various traps.
These things are hidden during the day and watched by the urban management team. At night, everything is opened.
Xu Qin would go around every night to make sure there were no blind spots and no one was slacking off before he could sleep. Sometimes in the morning, before dawn, he would make sudden checks.
Dai Deqing's people have not returned yet, Xu Qin will not absolutely rely on the Dai family. They have lost control of the Japanese pirates.
After Lao Huang came back, he felt uneasy and would not feel at ease unless he inspected the house several times a day.
Xu Qin couldn't sleep that morning, so he got up and took the dog to the inspection post. The first stop was the Royal Silver, where the sentry was tired but still alert.
After leaving the Royal Bank, we went to the craftsman's office for inspection. Unexpectedly, people here fell asleep.
Xu Qin quietly walked over with the dog, kicked over the sentry post, and reached out for Xu Fugui's whip, forgetting that Xu Fugui was not there.
"Who told you to sleep? If I were a Japanese pirate, your head would be gone." Xu Qin pointed at the sentry and kicked him twice.
"Young Master, how can there be Japanese pirates? Who can bear it all day long..." The sentry was probably not awake, or he was angry when he got up, so he boldly muttered.
Before he could finish speaking, a shrill horn sound suddenly sounded. Then a bunch of fireworks exploded in the air.
The dark sky made the fireworks look very gorgeous, which was a warning signal of the Japanese pirates' attack. Xu Qin rubbed his eyes to make sure what he saw.
Then he broke into a cold sweat and his hands were shaking. The moment of life and death comes so suddenly.
The Japanese pirates suddenly arrived at the port in the morning when people should be sleeping soundly.
Xu Qin tremblingly took out his telescope and looked in the direction of the port. Dozens of Japanese-style ships were approaching the port one after another.
Before the boat even docked, the Japanese pirates jumped out impatiently. But they did not attack immediately, but quickly gathered into a team.
These people had a relaxed attitude and lazy movements, as if they were not here to fight, but for an outing. It seemed that they didn't take Liujiagang seriously at all.
Then they attacked in separate groups under the leadership of their respective armored leaders.
Start lighting the fire-kindling plants, intending to start by setting fire to cause chaos, and then proceed with the looting at your leisure. This is their usual method.
"Tell me what that is?" Xu Qin pointed at the Japanese pirates at the port and said.
"Japanese pirates... Japanese pirates... are really here..." The sentry trembled with fear.
Xu Qin slapped him casually.
"What should we do?" he asked angrily,
Only then did the sentry sound the alarm, and the entire craftsman community stood up and shouted, each running to his or her post.
The alarm was passed one after another, and everyone entered their reserved positions, quickly opened the weapon cabinet and took their weapons.
The businessman immediately closed the door and hid after receiving the warning.
The performance of this sentry made him very worried. How can he fight with this kind of psychological quality? Will his arrangement be effective? Will there be any mistakes?
He was worried about these things, and his back was already wet.
Bundles of colorful fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating the gloomy port. It was obvious that warnings were sounded everywhere.
This made him feel a little more relieved. The Japanese pirates' slow movements gave the entire Liujiagang an opportunity.
The Japanese pirate leader was wearing a gorgeous suit of armor, holding a knife in his hand and looking at the fireworks in the sky.
"Didn't you say that there is no preparation here?" he asked the old sailor beside him in blunt Chinese.
"So what? A group of fat businessmen and a thousand new soldiers who have been trained for less than two months. The general has three thousand people and will receive millions of silver."
Dai Dehai stretched and said.
"If I can get mine, you will get yours." The pirate leader smiled proudly.
His pride was interrupted by the sound of a cannon, which also shocked Dai Dehai.
A loud roar broke out among one of the groups of Japanese pirates, and more than ten Japanese pirates were blown away. More people were wounded by shrapnel and wailed.
However, the fierce Japanese pirates did not panic. They left their injured companions and dispersed before moving forward one after another.
Kozaburo Matsushita held up his shield and carefully followed his companions. The killing and looting stimulated his blood.
This is the wealthy Ming Dynasty. It will definitely have a good harvest this time. When it is over, we will return to Kyushu, buy a few acres of land, marry a wife and have children, and then we will not come out.
As a result, there was a scream, and several companions suddenly disappeared from the side. Matsushita Kozaburo looked back and saw that several people had fallen into a trap and had been pierced by the spikes inside.
The companions from Kyushu struggled in vain, but they would definitely not survive. He didn't take another look, but it was a pity that his companion still owed him ten cents.
After bypassing this area, Matsushita Kozaburo heard a crackling sound, and then saw several companions who seemed to have been hammered and fell to the ground with a scream.
"Be careful, there are fire rifle soldiers." The squad leader shouted beside him, pushing him forward at the same time.
He wasn't worried, Ming's fire cannon could only be fired once. But he didn't find where it came from.
He could only carefully observe through the edge of the shield and guess the general direction.
At this moment, several holes opened in the wall behind him, and a row of firecrackers stretched out, making a crackling sound.
As if being hit by an invisible wave, Matsushita Kozaburo's team leader threw him to the ground with great force.
Kozaburo Matsushita raised his shield against the wall and called back to the squad leader. As a result, I touched blood on my hand.
It turned out that the captain did not save him at all, but was killed by the firecracker and fell on him.
"Captain Hatamoto..." Kozaburo Matsushita lay on the captain and cried bitterly.
He was not that sad, he just took off the samurai sword from the captain and stole the two coins he had on him.
At this moment, the second fire cannon sounded, and the companions around him were destroyed along with their shields. In the blink of an eye, more than ten more people died.
One of them pressed on him, and Matsushita Kozaburo didn't dare to move at all. Facts have proved that his choice was correct.
There were sounds of firecrackers in all directions, and companions kept falling.
He even saw a group of fierce guys from Shikoku fighting back with bows and arrows.
But behind them, a hole suddenly opened in an inconspicuous dirt bag, and two small, smoking cans were thrown out.
what is that? Matsushita Kozaburo was wondering when there were two booms and a burst of fire from the small jar.
The group of people from Shikoku who were closest to the jar were torn to pieces. A little further away, something invisible penetrated the body.
This kind of rumbling sound kept ringing everywhere. Each time, three or four people were killed, leaving several screaming people behind.
Unable to move, Matsushita Kozaburo decided to play dead. Although this was very unbrave, he was not a hot-headed samurai.
Watanabe Pingyuan held a gold-sprinkled Japanese fan in his hand and directed his men to counterattack to a house that was constantly shooting. However, the wall was thick and solid, with only small holes open for shooting.
Unable to attack at all, he and his men wanted to go around to see if there was a gate.
The door was found, but just as he was about to hit it, there was another sound of firecrackers, knocking down more than a dozen of his men.
He could only direct people to gather in the corner and use the corner to avoid the firecrackers.
"Baga, why are these fire guns endless? How many people are there?"
Before anyone could answer, two artillery shells fell into the crowd, and then exploded. Human flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they screamed continuously.
At this time, Watanabe Plain discovered that the walls of the buildings here were very high and the doors were very heavy. It's not easy to break through, not to mention attacking one courtyard will cause other courtyards to attack.
They seemed to be surrounded, with attack points on all sides.
"Bagaya Road, this is different from what you said. I'm going to kill that bastard..." Watanabe Plain thought of Dai Dehai.
The whole port was awakened by the sound of sirens and cannons.
Xu Qin knew that these recruits could not confront the Japanese pirates head-on, so he built turtle shells for them, and they only had to hide inside and fire cannons at the Japanese pirates.
When he designed the harbor, he specified the building specifications for all merchants. Both are tall and thick, and they support each other within the range of the fire gun. He also added many bunkers.
In addition to the Feng Shui master, he also asked veterans at home to participate in the design. As long as the Japanese pirates came in, they would be bombarded if they gathered together.
If separated, they will be defeated individually.
According to the map given by Dedehai, one of the teams should walk along the road to the dock, set fire to it, and then rob the warehouse area with the most goods.
The other way is to the shopping area, where there are businessmen and gold and silver jewelry, or beautiful women.
The third route was led by the leader of the Japanese pirates and went straight to the Ming Dynasty Royal Silver Number, which contained millions of taels of silver.
According to calculations, it would take two days after the attack here for the nearby guard posts to respond. But by then they were already at sea, bringing with them silver and plundered wealth.
All the sweet dreams lasted only half an hour. The leader found that they could not reach their destination at all, because there were attacks from all directions, and every step caused huge casualties.
Especially their target, the Ming Royal Silver, had cannons on the third floor. Condescendingly bombarding them.
It didn't matter at first, because facing more than 3,000 people, a few cannons couldn't play a decisive role.
But every time their team took a step, they would either fall into a trap or be killed by fire cannons in surrounding buildings.
And from time to time, small jars would fall into the crowd and explode, killing everyone around them.
The better ones died on the spot, while the worse ones were seriously injured and died wailing constantly.
I also want to remove these yards one by one. But if you attack one, you will be attacked by other surrounding yards. After finally losing dozens of people, they opened a yard and wanted to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.
As a result, when I entered, I saw that the person had already run along the tunnel. I was about to chase him along the tunnel when suddenly a small jar was thrown over me. Everyone who entered the tunnel was killed.
This kind of street fighting where you can't touch the enemy is the most terrifying. The Japanese pirates' land combat ability is not bad, and they still have morale even now, but their attack ability is not good.
Liujiagang is a hard-shell bastard. He wants to set fires, create panic, and then follow the trend to hunt down and plunder like before. It seems that he can't do it here.
"Baga, they have been prepared for a long time. They gave up all directions and everyone concentrated on attacking Yinhao."
The leader of the Japanese pirates ordered that the Japanese pirates were not afraid of casualties, but they were afraid that they would not be able to plunder anything.
Just get a few million taels of silver. When you return to Japan, you can recruit as many people as you want. You can even become a guardian daimyo and become the overlord.
Under the sound of the horn, the other two teams soon moved in the direction of the silver horn.
Xu Qin saw the movements of the Japanese pirates in Jianghu's residential area and immediately understood what they were thinking.
