When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he felt a little relieved, but Sun Chuanting's tone changed and he said coldly: "There is no problem, so that means there is a problem!"
Zheng Zhilong was shocked again when he heard this. He is also a man with rich experience, and he is an old man. If he had not lived a relatively comfortable life in these years and has been in a strong position, he does not have to worry about this or that. Instead, his opponents need to worry about him causing trouble, so he is already vigilant. It dropped a lot.
Right now, including his understanding of Jianlu Yuni, he was also on the side of Jianlu Yi. They were all secretly glad that he did not go to fight Jianlu Yi. Subconsciously, they did not specifically think about whether Jianlu Yi would come on their own initiative. Hit him about this.
At this time, when he heard what Sun Chuanting said, the contents of the booklet flashed through his mind like lightning. He was suddenly startled again and quickly asked Sun Chuanting: "Your Excellency, you said that those young and strong people all have small families, and they are here." The number of people who voted did not suddenly increase or decrease. Is this human manipulation?"
"It's very possible!" Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "How can Japan be so normal in today's troubled times? Take a look at these records..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the contents registered in the book and began to give Zheng Zhilong several examples in detail. Judging from a single example, it is very consistent with the actual situation. However, after the timeline is extended, it is still very consistent with the actual situation, but it is inconsistent with the real situation in this troubled world, and it is very strange.
"Sir, the general will immediately select some suspicious people and arrest them for interrogation to see if there is any problem with them!" Zheng Zhilong said with a hint of ferocity after hearing this.
To be honest, if Sun Chuanting hadn't reminded him, Zheng Zhilong, an old man in the world, might have seen too many strong winds and waves, and the boat capsized in the gutter. Therefore, he became a little angry and wanted to punish a few of them severely to see if there was any problem!
However, when Sun Chuanting heard what he said, he shook his head and said with a cold face: "Even if there is a problem, don't alert the enemy!"
Zheng Zhilong was about to turn around and leave, but when he heard Sun Chuanting's words, he had to stop again, and then asked for instructions: "What do you mean, sir?"
Sun Chuanting did not answer his words immediately. He glanced at the bustling construction site, and then looked at the warships in the direction of the port. His face remained expressionless, and he said coldly: "Just pretend you don't know anything!" According to official estimates, if someone is planning something, they will definitely take action at night. You should deal with it secretly. If any movement is found at night, all the soldiers can withdraw to the ship. "
"Then... what should we do with those Japanese?" Zheng Zhilong asked quickly after hearing this, "If something really happens, they will definitely..."
When he said this, he suddenly understood. These Japanese are just Japanese, at least for now, they are not ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty. It is very labor-intensive for oneself to distinguish whether there are any suspicious persons among them, whether there are any enemy's tricks, etc., or in other words, it is not worth it.
In that case, forget it. If there are no enemies among the Japanese, it doesn't matter. If there are enemies among the Japanese, and chaos breaks out later, it will be the Japanese's own misfortune!
After understanding this, Zheng Zhilong clasped his hands and immediately accepted the order: "General, I will make arrangements quietly right now!"
The enemy, that is, the remnants of the built captives, do not have warships. Therefore, if something happens, as long as all the men retreat to the ships, the two cities under construction will be lost and it will not matter at all.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of a thought and said to Sun Chuanting: "Sir, I have been searching for hundreds of miles in the night and found nothing unusual. But the general can send a ship out, just two hundred miles or three hundred miles away." Log in from outside, and then go back to investigate secretly. If someone really wants to covet us, they will definitely find clues!"
This is the difference between the island and the mainland. The advantage of having a navy is that it has very high mobility.
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it. In addition, the transport ship will return, gather troops, and be on standby at any time. Once it is discovered that the remnants of the captives really want to attack, they will land at any time. They can come, but they can't come back!" "
"General, I obey!" Zheng Zhilong listened and agreed quickly. Then seeing that Sun Chuanting had no other instructions, he turned around and left, preparing to quietly start arranging things.
However, he only took a few steps when he seemed to think of something, so he turned around and came back.
Seeing him like this, Sun Chuanting kept looking at him, waiting for him to speak.
"Sir, the general has an idea!" Zheng Zhilong looked at Sun Chuanting and said in a low voice, "If it is really the remnants of the Jianlu who want to plot against Xiaguan and Deshan, then the incoming troops must be elite, if not the main force. If this happens, Kyoto will inevitably be empty. Why don't we attack Kyoto by sea and capture Kyoto? These remnants of the rebels will be blocked here, and it's up to you to decide how you want to deal with them!"
He was almost tricked by them, how could Zheng Zhilong just let it go? Just after taking a few steps, he thought of this method of removing the firewood from under the cauldron and giving a severe lesson to those who wanted to scheme against him.
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I'm sure!"
He is not a good person, and he dares to come to Tai Sui to stir up trouble, which will definitely make them look good.
Therefore, whether in Xiaguan or Deshan, everything seemed to be normal on the surface, but in fact, the Ming army had already undergone changes. Especially the troops on the Kyushu side have also begun to gather. These things are not known to people on the Honshu side.
…………
In a remote place far away from Deshan, there is an army hidden. It can be seen from their height and clothing that there are many Jianlu inside, and those Japanese are also young and strong. In one of the camps, Hauge and others were clearly visible inside.
At this time, they were all listening to a Japanese report.
After the Japanese finished his report, the traitor Bao Chengxian immediately turned to Hauge and said: "Master, I think the time has come and it is not appropriate to delay it any longer!"
For this war, Haug selected four thousand elite soldiers from the army, and then quietly left under the cover of night, heading south. It can be said that he has very high expectations for this war.
At this time, when he heard Bao Chengxian say that he could take action, he was a little hesitant. In fact, over the years, he has really been frightened by the Ming army!
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Bao Chengxian and asked, "Is it possible that the Ming army has seen through our plan and is waiting for us to fall into a trap?"
Hearing this, Bao Chengxian couldn't help being speechless. However, Hauge was the master, so he had to patiently say: "Master, don't worry, every time the Japanese are sent out, they are personally checked by the slaves, and they will never arouse the suspicion of the Ming army!"
"Then will they sell us?" Hauge was still worried and guessed another possibility.
Bao Cheng listened first and immediately shook his head and said: "Master, don't worry, the Japanese selected by my servant this time are all very loyal to us. Moreover, they all have families and families. With the hostages in hand, we are not afraid that they dare to inform."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Haug, ready to deal with all Haug's worries.
The idea this time was his, and of course he didn't want to give up halfway. If he can succeed, Bao Chengxian will become famous, and he will be a conscientious strategist in the army.
Sure enough, Hauge was afraid, and asked a question: "What should I do if the Ming army along the way refuses to collect at night?"
"I went to investigate specifically!" Bao Chengxian continued to answer, "Those Ming troops who refused to accept us at night definitely did not expect that we would dare to take the initiative to fight back, so they were a little careless. Moreover, I already knew from the local Japanese people that other people There is a way to avoid the Ming army on the main road that stays at night."
Having said this, he paused and then added: "Actually, with these night warriors here, as long as we avoid them, it will be more convenient for us to make a sneak attack."
Hauge thought about these explanations of Bao Chengxian again and again, and felt that there were no flaws. He regained some confidence in his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, let's do it!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately issued an order, ordering Turge to lead a thousand troops to attack Xiaguan directly, while he and Bao Chengxian led the remaining three thousand elites to sneak attack Deshan.
They traveled day and night, avoiding the Ming army on the small road and staying at night. The journey went smoothly.
On this day, Hauge finally arrived near Deshan and led his guards to inspect Deshan's situation.
On the Deshan side, many Japanese were building the city under the supervision of the Ming army, and more than half of it was completed. After checking for a while, I didn't find anything unusual.
"Master, please see, if we make a surprise attack at night and wipe out all the Ming troops in the camps by the sea, then Deshan will be defeated." Bao Chengxian suppressed the excitement in his heart and whispered to Hauge, "If It would be best if we can seize those warships. Even if we can't seize them, we can just burn these warships. As long as our Deshan succeeds in the sneak attack, the strength of the Ming army in Japan will be greatly damaged."
Hauge nodded after hearing this. The reason why he took the initiative to attack was to give the Ming army a heavy blow. With internal support among the Japanese laborers, the ambush at night was not that difficult.
Seeing a great victory right in front of him, Haug couldn't hold back his excitement, so he quietly returned to boost the morale of his three thousand men, making a lot of empty promises first. Then, we waited for nightfall.
Not to mention, God seems to be helping them too.
The bright moonlight is obscured by clouds, and even a slightly distant place cannot be seen by a torch; the sea breeze is blowing, and it can cover up some movements.
After Hauge's army quietly approached, he gave an order and, under the leadership of the white-armored soldiers, rushed towards the Deshan camp like tigers.
As soon as the internal officers who had been lurking among the Japanese saw their master leading the troops, they took off their clothes, tied their left arms, and began to set fire to respond.
The Deshan night attack begins!
