Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 831 Haha Shiqi is right

"Rebellion?" All the generals asked in unison: "Surrender to us?"

"Yes, Shiqi, what do you think?" Lao Liu asked Yang Shiqi with a smile, giving him a chance to show his face.

"If there are only three students, I will surrender to the Ming Dynasty tonight." Yang Shiqi was not afraid of the stage, and said humorously: "Being the dog of the Ming Emperor is not better than being the dog of the Japanese Emperor?"

"It's true." Even military generals can understand this truth.

"Not only does that have a high status, but Kyushu is still theirs."

"Yes, both the Northern and Southern Dynasties want to weaken them and directly control Kyushu." Zhu Zhen smiled and nodded: "We will not have such worries if we surrender. After all, we will withdraw our troops sooner or later, unless they ask for help." We stay.”

"Will they beg us to stay?" Yu Tongjiang asked in surprise.

"Yes, we will give them no choice but to follow us all the way to the end." Lao Liu said with confidence, and then stopped the topic and said:
"But that's something for later. We have to let them know first that we still have this path to take. Otherwise, with their single-minded behavior, we don't know when they will figure it out."

"Do you have any good ideas?" He asked the generals.

"It seems that there really is." Hu Quan remembered something and said: "Today we captured a general of the Shaoer family. Although he cannot speak Chinese, he can write Chinese characters. He said that he is the younger brother of the head of the Shaoer family and hopes to receive preferential treatment. "

"Then give preferential treatment." Lao Liu smiled and ordered Yang Shiqi: "I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes!" Yang Shiqi agreed excitedly. He originally thought that His Highness was taking him to broaden his horizons, but he didn't expect that he would be entrusted with an important task.

~~
While they were talking, everyone suddenly heard the sound of gongs, drums and suonas coming from the sea to the north.

"Here we go again..." Yu Tongjiang cursed angrily.

I saw dots of firelight everywhere on the sea, and every firelight was a small boat.Those sharp noises were made by the Japanese navy on those small boats.

The purpose is naturally to harass the Ming army and make them live in peace.

The Ming army had nothing to do with them, just like a lion unable to deal with mosquitoes circling around it. Their giant ships were too bulky and they could easily turn around and speed up to chase after them. Those small ships had already fled far away.

As soon as the Ming army returned, the boats came back and continued to make noise.Send a small boat to expel them, or they may be surrounded by the Japanese navy, so you can only let them make noise until dawn.

As a result, many soldiers did not have a good night's sleep and dozed off in broad daylight.

It ended up happening again tonight...

But the same move cannot be used twice on a Saint, and the same is true for Lao Liu.

"Are the things ready?" he asked Yu Tongyuan.

"Ready, everything has been distributed." Yu Tongyuan said, taking out the secret weapon from his sleeve and sending it to His Highness.

They are two small wax pills.

Lao Liu took it, rubbed it back and forth with his hands to soften it, and then stuffed it into his ears one by one.

The world suddenly became quiet, the distant drumming noises disappeared instantly, and even the voices of Yu Tongyuan and others beside them became distant and small.It wasn't until I took it out of my ear that the world started to buzz again.Lao Liu picked his ears with his little finger and praised: "The effect is really good, but it's not easy to get out."

"But this kind of sound insulation effect is the best." Yu Tongyuan said solemnly: "We make earplugs according to the three materials mentioned by His Highness. Cork is not good at sound insulation, and clay is not bad, but it is not easy to remove, and there are no Prepare materials. Only beeswax was available as much as needed, and the sound insulation effect was the best, so in the end I used it to make a pair of earplugs for each of the soldiers."

Beeswax is waterproof and is widely used on ships. There are enough supplies on every ship.

"That's good, but don't sleep too hard." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said humorously.

"Hahaha, Your Highness is joking. Only soldiers who are not on duty can wear earplugs. If they are on duty, the noise will keep them awake." Yu Tongyuan hurriedly laughed and said: "In short, there must be someone in each cabin without earplugs, so that they can hear at any time Order to shake your companions awake."

"Okay, I'm relieved." Zhu Zhen put the earplugs in his sleeves and thought of something again: "You said the Japanese pirates harassed us, are they just to make us sleep poorly?"

"Of course not, that's just a way for them to tire us out and paralyze us. The ultimate goal is to launch a large-scale night attack on us when we have become accustomed to them and no longer use force to drive them away." Yu Tongyuan said firmly: "Because this is Their only hope is to turn defeat into victory."

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen nodded and asked Yang Shiqi with a smile: "Shiqi, what do you think?"

"His Royal Highness, students don't understand military affairs," Yang Shiqi replied hurriedly: "But according to His Highness's previous judgment, Prince Huai Liang must launch a counterattack as soon as possible to try to reverse the military and political situation that is unfavorable to him. Now his biggest hope is , the Kyushu navy hiding in the sea."

"Okay, then when will they take action?" Lao Liu asked again.

"This student is difficult to judge." Yang Shiqi whispered: "But if you want them to take action earlier, you can increase the pressure on Prince Huai Liang, and he will urge the Kyushu Navy to take action." He said with a faint smile. :

"Of course the students are not talking about siege..."

"Haha Shiqi, isn't it just burning, killing, and looting? What's there to avoid?" Lao Liu said in a clear-eyed manner: "Does it mean that just because the Japanese pirates are killing, killing, and looting us, we can't retaliate in kind? That doesn't make sense."

"Your Highness is right!" The generals' eyes turned green immediately.

"Then let's do it." Lao Liu agreed: "But pay attention to safety, in every sense."

"Yes!" The generals responded loudly.

~~
That night, the off-duty soldiers wore the earplugs they were issued and finally slept well.Of course, the person on duty was still buzzing from the noise and wanted to swat all the lingering flies to death.

Fortunately, there were brothers on the shore to vent their anger for them.

The Ming army did not immediately launch a posture to attack the city as the Japanese army expected. Instead, they sent troops to bypass Shuicheng and loot and destroy Dazaifu.

Yes, there is no city wall in Dazaifu, only two defensive castles, Suicheng and Ono Castle. This is also a Japanese characteristic. They have not known what a city wall is since ancient times.

Because their population has been relatively small since ancient times, they have neither the ability to build city walls nor the ability to defend city walls.

The people were very poor and had no property to protect, so they generally only built a castle. When the enemy attacked, all the people would hide in the castle. Defending a castle was much easier than defending a city wall.

Most of the time there is nothing wrong with this design, but there is something wrong with it in Dazaifu.

Because this is the western capital of Japan, one of the largest cities in the country, and also the richest city.
