Zhu Yunzhen smiled slightly.
Things progressed much more smoothly than he thought.
Zhu Yunxi took a look at the captured Japanese pirates and traitor servants.
His original idea was to kill all these guys.
He doesn't want any prisoners.
It has to be killed with cruel means.
Who asked them to torture and kill the people of Ming Dynasty?
He vowed to make these guys pay back a hundredfold, so how could he let them go so easily?
but.
Now.
Zhu Yunxuan suddenly thought that these people could still burn themselves and be useful.
"If you want to wash away the sins on your body, you have to go and eliminate the source of the sins. Are you willing?"
That's right.
His idea was to use these people as cannon fodder to attack Japanese pirate strongholds.
The successful capture of Songjiang Fucheng was entirely due to the opportunity to take the initiative, attack quickly, and rush into the city with lightning speed before the opponent recovered.
But such a miracle can never happen again.
Japanese pirates' strongholds at sea must be tightly defended.
Because the new army was in a hurry to rush to the front line, it only brought guns and no cannons. If it attacked such a strong fortress, it would suffer a lot.
Zhu Yunxu did not want the New Army soldiers to be seriously injured.
It would be perfect to send the Japanese pirates and traitor servants to serve as cannon fodder, while the new army follows behind to pick up the fruits.
When the Japanese pirate stronghold is defeated, none of these people will be left behind.
Otherwise, how can we wash away the sins on their bodies?
Hear his words.
The traitor servants immediately expressed their willingness.
Although they surrendered to the Japanese pirates and were driven by them, in fact the Japanese pirates did not regard them as human beings, and would beat and scold them at will. They would even fight with each other when they did not go their way.
Because they were not satisfied with serving the Japanese pirates, many people were killed by the Japanese pirates for no reason.
They have no loyalty to the Japanese pirates.
At this time, I heard the "spirit" said that attacking the Japanese pirate stronghold would wash away the sins on my body, so I didn't want to.
The Japanese pirates looked at each other one by one.
Let them attack their companions?
If anyone else had said this, they would never agree.
But this is the will of "gods"!
They had to hesitate.
Seeing that the Japanese pirates did not agree immediately, Zhu Yunxuan's expression suddenly changed and he snorted coldly: "If you don't want to, then you deserve to be cut into pieces and go to the eighteenth level of hell after death, where you will never be reincarnated. Come on, let's carry out the execution."
"I do!" shouted a Japanese pirate.
Suddenly, other Japanese pirates spoke out one after another.
Everyone, including the Japanese pirate leader Kato Shoichi, expressed their willingness.
"Then let's go."
Zhu Yunxian waved.
He told Jiang Wei: "Lead the new army alone to the expedition. You lead the Jinyi Guards to stay in Songjiang Prefecture. Remember, build a great momentum and close the city gate tightly at the same time. Then send someone to Suzhou Prefecture to report the news and let Lan Yu lead the troops."
By now, there are only about 80 Jinyiwei people following, and the others have fallen behind.
This small number of troops is really not enough to guard the Songjiang Prefecture in Nuo Da.
Especially in yesterday's battle, the new army defeated tens of thousands of rebel troops.
These people fled in all directions, but there were still quite a few of them who were thinking of escaping back to Songjiang Fucheng.
Among them were hundreds of Japanese pirates.
The new army just fought quickly and got ahead of them and captured Songjiang Fucheng.
He now wanted to draw the new army out to attack the Japanese pirate stronghold. Once the defeated troops who escaped back found Songjiang Fucheng empty, they might come to attack again.
Don't look at Jin Yiwei, all of them are masters.
There is no one like Yi Yu who can persevere till now and not fall behind.
But after all, the Jin Yiwei is not an army charging into battle.
Fighting in rivers and lakes is okay, but fighting in the military formation is another matter.
What's more, there are only more than 80 people, which is too few.
But Zhu Yunxuan felt that as long as they closed the city gate and made a big noise, the defeated troops who had been frightened out of their wits would not have the courage to attack.
The risk is not very high.
After sending the message to Lan Yu, the Ming army will arrive soon.
That would be even more foolproof.
"this……"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhu Yunxuan's instructions.
If it were any other order, he would definitely execute it without hesitation and without hesitation.
But letting him stay in Songjiang Fucheng and letting the emperor's grandson lead troops to attack the Japanese invaders was against the holy will.
Lao Zhu made it very clear that he must follow him every step of the way to protect the safety of His Royal Highness.
Although he has already seen the combat power of the new army, it is definitely ridiculously strong.
But the Japanese pirates’ stronghold was no better than other places.
The war is fierce and dangerous.
Even if the battle goes well, if a stray arrow injures His Highness Taisun, then his head will definitely have to be moved.
Take ten thousand steps back, even if you don't encounter any danger.
Later, Lao Zhu asked, why didn't you obey my order? Why didn't you follow? Why let our grandson take risks?
He can't do business either!
As the commander of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Ying knew the Emperor very well.
For this alone, he will be punished with a serious crime.
Maybe he still has to move his head.
"Your Highness Taisun, Songjiang City has been secured. Although there are rebels outside, we will never dare to attack the city."
"Why don't we hand over the Jinyi Guards to the command of the deputy commander Li Suxiao and stay in Songjiang Fucheng. We should follow His Highness the Grand Sun in our humble position."
Zhu Yunzhen glanced at him.
I kind of understand his difficulty.
Lao Zhu would indeed make things difficult for him.
Zhu Yunxuan thought for a moment and felt that it would not be a big problem for Li Suxiao to defend the city.
As long as the city gate is not opened, the defeated troops who fled back should be unable to attack again.
He nodded and said, "Okay!"
Jiang Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that His Highness Taisun would continue to insist on his own ideas, so he didn't know what to do.
Immediately, the new army set off, and Zhu Yunzhen's carriage turned around and headed out of the city.
Since all the other Jinyi guards stayed behind, Jiang Yu came up personally to drive the carriage.
"Big brother!"
Just when Zhu Yunzhen was about to lead his army to leave, a crisp voice sounded.
It was the little girl named Xixi from before.
"Do not offend God!"
The girl sister next to her quickly pulled her.
The little girl was still looking at Zhu Yunxi, her eyes extremely bright.
Her age is actually about the same as Zhu Yunzhen.
It's just that she didn't know how to call Zhu Yunzhen, so she called her big brother.
Zhu Yunzhen turned around, looked at her and smiled.
Songjiang Prefecture has been ravaged into such a field, and these women are the only ones left alive.
But what happens next is their fate...
In this feudal etiquette society where death from starvation is a small matter but misconduct is a big deal, although they have been rescued, how will they face the world in the future?
Zhu Yunzhen sighed softly in his heart and said: "If you are homeless, after the war is over, you can go to Jinling City with me and work in my house. I wonder if you are willing?"
There are countless slaves and maids in the East Palace, and adding dozens of them is not a big deal.
If they were left alone, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to survive.
"Thank you, Lord God."
"Thank you, Lord God."
…
The girls couldn't help but kowtow in thanks.
Most of their family members have been killed by Japanese pirates and rebels.
They were also brutally humiliated.
Although he was rescued, he had nowhere to go.
In the eyes of many people in this era, they should not live in this world, but should die as martyrs.
But they are still young, still young girls, with a strong desire to survive.
But, what can we do?
Zhu Yunzhen's words undoubtedly pointed out a way for them to survive.
How can I not express my gratitude a thousand times?
Zhu Yunzhen stopped staying any longer and signaled Jiang Yu to drive forward.
At this time, the little girl Xixi's voice sounded again.
"Big brother, I want to go with you."
She looked at him with big eyes, full of expectation.
Zhu Yunzhen was a little surprised and asked: "Why?"
The little girl Xixi said seriously: "They killed my parents. I want to see with my own eyes how they perished."
Her voice was childish but firm.
Zhu Yunzhen was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, get in the car."
The little girl Xixi was overjoyed and ran over happily and climbed onto the carriage.
despair!
despair!
despair!
The sound of horse hooves sounded and the carriage rolled forward.
The soldiers of the New Army have been running all day long and are still not tired, but no one is complaining about suffering or tiredness.
On the contrary, everyone has high morale.
After leaving the city, we encountered many bandit soldiers who had broken up and fled.
They all fled back from Jiaxing and were preparing to flee to Songjiang Fucheng.
These people did not know that Songjiang Fucheng had been recaptured by the Ming army.
Fearing the pursuit of soldiers, they all hid during the day and came out at night to rush on their way, but they happened to run into them.
Naturally, the New Army soldiers would not be polite to them and killed all they could.
Perhaps in order to quickly wash away their "sins", the Japanese pirates and traitor servants who had just joined were also very active in killing their original "partners".
Just cleaning and marching like this, we arrived at the beach in the middle of the night.
Looking at the ships parked in the harbor, Zhu Yunzhen finally felt relieved.
The reason why they set out overnight without rest was to find these ships first.
Yesterday's battle at the foot of Jiaxing City, but hundreds of Japanese pirates still escaped.
Today's capture of Songjiang Fucheng, although they quickly occupied four city gates, formed a situation of catching turtles in the trap.
But there were still a very small number of people who escaped from the city.
The thieves I met before didn't know the situation yet because the news wasn't transmitted that fast.
They were scattered everywhere and were very confused, so naturally they couldn't figure it out.
But Zhu Yunzhen was worried that the few people who escaped from Songjiang Fucheng would encounter the Japanese pirates who had retreated from Songjiang Fucheng.
If so, they might come directly to the beach and leave by boat.
Zhu Yunzhen had to think about the worst.
The way to reduce the chance of things happening is to rush to the beach overnight and seize the ship.
Now it finally worked.
He immediately ordered the entire army to rest.
Continuous high-intensity marching and fighting, even an iron-clad person cannot bear it!
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, I continued to rest and recharge my batteries.
Anyway, the ship is already in his hands, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.
Zhu Yunzhen wanted to wait and see if the hundreds of Japanese pirates who had fled from Jiaxing City would come to the beach to take a boat.
They just sit back and wait to annihilate the opponent here.
Unfortunately, no one showed up until noon.
He was not too disappointed.
It's impossible for everything to be exactly as he expected.
Those Japanese pirates couldn't escape anyway.
Zhu Yunzhen stopped waiting and ordered the new army officers and captured cannon fodder Japanese pirates and traitor servants to board the ship and sail in the direction pointed by Kato Masaichi.
The Japanese pirates' stronghold is not very far away.
After sailing for several hours, when it was almost dark, an island appeared in front of us.
"That's right there." Masaichi Kato said.
Zhu Yunzhen nodded slightly and winked at Zheng He beside him.
Zheng He immediately sent an order, and the officers and soldiers of the new army entered a state of war preparation as quickly as possible.
