Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 339 Wenchang
After recruiting 1000 guards and [-] soldiers from the local guards, Zuo Fu personally rushed to Wenchang with his men.

Sanjiao Village is located near the later Sanjiaotang Denglou.There is a very small port there. In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that it is a port. Most of it can only be regarded as a port for fishermen to enter and exit. Larger ships cannot dock.

So Zoff is also very strange.

How did this group of pirates come up with the idea of ​​landing here?Or did it come by mistake?There can't be a big boat there, so it can't be that they come here with a small fishing boat?
Mysteries were rising in Zuo Fu's mind, but she couldn't think of any reason after thinking about it.In the end, I had no choice but to stop thinking about it and just think about going to Wenchang first.

At the same time, she also hoped that Wenchang's guards would be stronger and last until reinforcements arrived.

Speeding up his horse, Zuo Fu arrived in Wenchang two and a half hours later.The gate of Wenchang City was closed tightly, and countless building materials were still piled up outside.

Qiongzhou was often robbed by Japanese pirates. Whether the local people or officials, they all had a heartfelt fear of Japanese pirates.

Therefore, when they heard the Japanese pirates landed, they ran back to the city without even picking up the building materials.

Looking at the mess outside the city, Zuo Fu couldn't help sighing softly.

About being strong, about being brave, this kind of education should be strengthened!

Li Xiang rode his horse to the foot of the city and shouted: "The Zuo Zhifu is here, open the door!"

A few heads poked out upstairs, and couldn't help cheering, "It's the reinforcements! It's the reinforcements!"

The gate of the city was opened, and Zuofu led his people through the gate. Gao Yupu, the magistrate of Wenchang County, bowed and bowed, "I am the magistrate of Wenchang County, Gao Yupu, to pay homage to the magistrate."

"These hypocrisy will be avoided."

Zuo Fu threw the whip to Zhang Ming, opened his water bottle, took a sip of water, and asked, "How is the situation now? Is there any attack from the guard?"

"My lord, the hundred households from the guard station in the east of the city have taken people to Wengtian Town. But when we arrived, the Japanese pirates had disappeared. On the way, we met villagers fleeing for refuge. They said that the Japanese pirates went everywhere when they entered the town. Robbed, but I don't know why, but it didn't hurt anyone..."

"Only grabbing things?"

Zuo Fu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Lead the way, go to the yamen first."

"Yes, my lord."

After Zuo Fu followed Gao Yupu to the Wenchang County Government, he found an excuse to avoid it, and then bought a book about the Tokugawa Shogunate from Taobao.

In my previous life, there was a dinner with my colleagues, and one of my colleagues was a history buff.When talking about the history of the Ming Dynasty's anti-Japanese war, it talked about Japanese history.

Zuo Fu vaguely remembered what that colleague said.After more than 150 years of war in Japan, the Tokugawa clan finally took over the ruling power of Japan.

At this time in Japan, the emperor was only a national symbol in name, and all real power was in the hands of the shogunate.And if she remembers correctly, this time should be during the reign of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third general of Tokugawa.

The reason why she can remember this is because that said at the same time that when this general was in power, in order to suppress the infiltration of Catholicism in Japan and prevent Western forces from colonizing Japan, he suppressed Catholicism and then cut off the communication between Spain and Portugal. For trade, only the Dutch and Chinese can trade with the official shogunate in Nagasaki.

Zuofer was quite impressed by this point.Because during the same period, China also adopted the method of closing the country and only allowing some tributes to enter.

Now that there are Japanese on Qiongzhou Island, Zuo Fu remembered what this colleague said.So now she needs to buy a book about the Tokugawa shogunate period to take a look at it.Because if she remembers correctly, Japan should be in a closed state now.

Since it is a closed country, where did the Japanese who landed come from?
The book fell into his hand, Zuo Fu looked at the catalog, and quickly turned to the pages of Tokugawa Iemitsu's administration.

After a quick glance, she had an answer in her mind.

Put away the book, go back to the second hall, and ask: "Where are those Japanese pirates now?"

"Returning to my lord, they seem to have no direction, and they are running around. Our people have figured out their route. We can only look around according to the clues given by the people. They appeared in Wengtian Town before, but this After a while, I don’t know where they went. Our people often chased the last crime scene, and they ran away again.”

The corner of Li Xiang's mouth twitched, feeling a little speechless.

The soldiers in these guards are really inferior to Orion!

It took so much effort to chase a group of Japanese pirates, and this military quality is also convincing.

Zuo Fu was also speechless looking at the sky.

It seems that in the future, not only the military households in the Qiongshan Guard Station need to practice, but the soldiers on the entire Qiongzhou Island should be gathered for a drill!
The combat power is scum, the physical strength is scum, and the detection ability is also scum!
At this level, not to mention defending the family and the country, even protecting oneself is not bad!

"How many of them do you know?"

"About forty people..."

Gao Yupu faltered and said, "Maybe there may be 60 people here."

"Master Gao."

Li Xiang couldn't listen anymore, "After so many days, don't you even know how many of them there are?"

"My lord, our people really haven't met them!"

Gao Yupu was also very aggrieved, "They ran too fast! We can only infer based on the descriptions of the villagers. In addition, we went to the beach and found several small boats. We estimated that the three small boats could only hold 60 people at most.

We reckoned that they were Japanese pirates who lost their way and came to Sanjiao Village by accident.These boats are extremely small, and crossing the sea is extremely risky. The officials heard that the island owners of Dongpu are extremely arrogant, and anyone who believes in the Xiyi religion has been driven out.

In addition, if merchants who go out to trade have not returned to China for five years, they are no longer allowed to go back.Therefore, the lower official wondered whether these people were driven away by the island owner of Dongying?That's why this ship is so shabby, it didn't even know the channel, and it landed in our Qiongzhou in a daze? "

Gao Yupu bowed, and carefully observed Zuo Fu's face while talking, "They can't return to their home country, so they just want to grab something and take root here?"

After thinking for a while, Zuo Fu said, "Li Xiang, you take the reconnaissance team and a platoon and go to Wengtian Town now. You must find out these Japanese pirates! Besides, if you resist, you will be shot!"

"Yes!"

Li Xiang licked his lips, very excited.

He hasn't fought a battle in the past two years, and now he can fight people in a fair manner. He only feels that his big sword is already too hungry and thirsty!

After counting all the people, they immediately headed towards the direction of Wengtian Town.

A day and a night passed, and none of them came towards the county seat, which was probably still near Wengtian Town.They are not familiar with the place, so they should not dare to show up easily except for robbery.They robbed a bunch of things in Wengtian Town, and managed to survive for a while, so they should be hiding somewhere instead of running around.

I found a few Li people on the road, and after giving them two bags of salt and ten pieces of compressed biscuits, these Li people happily became guides.

In this Qiongzhou, who else knows better than them where to hide?Some people were even secretly thinking, should they go back and call more people to help these Han family military masters find someone?After all, they can be generous!
