Chapter 408
Needles could be heard falling in the conference hall. After Lu Heng finished speaking, he suddenly threw the ledger in his hand into the copper basin, lit the fire book personally, and threw it on the writing.
The fire licked the paper, coaxed it into flames, and wrapped the entire copper basin. Lu Heng threw all the remaining accounts into the fire, and said coldly, "I wish I could kill you one by one, but the Japanese pirates are still living along the coast, and countless people are still waiting for the court to rescue them. I know that some of you are The environment is such that you have to cut your feet to fit your shoes, but I don't care what difficulties you have, it is imperative to put down the Japanese troubles. If you can get lost and know your way back, you will repent of your merits and sins and win the war against Japanese pirates. Once you are defeated, you should go to the imperial prison to reflect."
Under the erosion of the flames, the old paper quickly turned black, curled, and turned into a whirlpool of ashes. There was a sound of sobbing in the council room, and one after another, people bowed down to Lu Heng: "Thank you, Governor."
Some of them were fortunate, some secretly relieved, but their faces were all white, and no one dared to move their minds. The body of Ying Tianfu Yin was still lying in front of him, and Lu Heng told them with practical actions that he was not a literati who only knew how to write, but he really dared to kill them. The lesson of blood comes first, who would dare to commit a crime knowingly?
No matter how good money is, it is not as important as life. Besides, after so many years, they should have fished enough, if they really cross the line and let the Japanese pirates make trouble, then no one will be able to please anyone.
The people in the meeting room gradually dispersed. After the scholars were all gone, Fu Tingzhou held the scabbard and picked out the unburned stub from the brazier. He flipped through it and sneered, "I really thought you found the account book, but it turned out to be empty."
Lu Heng said a lot, he wanted to moisten his throat, but thinking that Fu Tingzhou has not tried the water here, he finally put it down: "Pang Yunqi is not stupid, how can he keep such a handle. Now, you can dispatch troops. will."
Lu Heng sneaked into Nanjing last night, and after negotiating with Fu Tingzhou, he went to assassinate the senior officials of Jinyiwei in Nanjing. All truths depend on fists in the end. Only when he masters the military power of Yingtianfu can he knock the mountain and shake the tiger today.
Although no account book was found, Lu Heng knew who colluded with the Japanese pirates. For those who once supported the Japanese pirates, he would let them die unexpectedly. For the others who just received money, Lu Heng thought he didn't know, and he beat them and let them go.
Killing is the easiest thing, but what he has to do is to solve problems and win people's hearts. If the massacres were carried out blindly, the people of Zhejiang and Fujian would panic, and these officials would only turn to the Japanese pirates even more.
His purpose was to win the war against Japanese pirates, not to kill a few corrupt officials to vent his anger.
Lu Heng regretfully gave up the idea of drinking water, stood up and said, "My business has been completed, and the rest is up to you. If you still can't convince the public, then don't go back and jump into the sea to kill yourself."
Fu Tingzhou sneered: "I naturally have regulations, so you don't have to worry about it."
After Fu Tingzhou finished speaking, he planned to go to the barracks to appoint generals. Lu Heng stopped him and said, "I don't care about the others, but now, you must hit a place first."
"where?"
"Jintai Island."
·
After Fu Tingzhou urgently reorganized his troops, the first battlefield was Jintai Island. Lu Heng deployed Jintai Island, which Jin Yiwei desperately sent back, to Fu Tingzhou. In return, Lu Heng asked Jin Yiwei to accompany him in this operation.
The two thousand Jinyiwei he brought with him seemed to be a lot, but in an army that could be counted in thousands, it was nothing at all. Fu Tingzhou didn't care about these people, so he dispatched a boat to Jin Yiwei.
Lu Heng sent two hundred Jin Yiwei to accompany the army. Jin Yiwei paid attention to fighting alone, which was not very useful on the frontal battlefield, especially in water battles, which depended on fire, and there was no chance of hand-to-hand combat. Jinyiwei, like a boat, witnessed the roar of fire on the water, the sea làng to the sky, and they hid behind without moving.
Fu Tingzhou is indeed very talented in arranging troops. Although Jintai Island was confident that it had a strong boat, but they had no training in the art of war, and they were not as many as the imperial navy, and soon fell out of favor with the imperial army, and the ships fled back to the port.
Fu Tingzhou chased after the victory and ordered full firepower to advance, so the Japanese pirates could not lift their heads. Under the cover of firepower, the court ship docked smoothly. Jinyiwei, who had been withering all the way, suddenly saw a mouse like a cat, jumped off the ship, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The lieutenant general and Fu Tingzhou reported: "Governor, Jin Yiwei and the others acted on their own as soon as they landed on the island. They ran so fast that they couldn't stop them."
When Fu Tingzhou heard it, he snorted softly and said, "It's their job to raid homes, don't pay attention to them, anyway, it's not under my control if you die. The order goes on, Yuanding and Yuanji remain in their original positions, and Fubo guards. Going to the southwest, the Nanrui was supporting the ocean, and the straw boats filled the gaps of the lucky boats. Jintai Island was tightly surrounded, and no boats were allowed to go out. Each boat left a sentry to guard, and the rest followed me to disembark, and besieged Jintai in three ways. Taiwan Island."
"Yes."
After the construction of Shuangyu Port, Jintai Island became a new easy port. Jintai Island has five or six hundred followers, plus island residents, ships, and Japanese people stationed on the island. Jintai Island has several Thousands. In the past, this was definitely a force that should not be underestimated, but now the imperial army's heart is not what it used to be. Under the absolute numerical advantage, the pirates of Jintai Island have been retreating and scattered in a hurry, and the imperial army has landed on the island. Use the land warfare they are really good at, and form formations to kill the fleeing Japanese pirates.
