Su Ming just fell asleep and heard the intercom ringing. He put Li Lin into the consciousness of the maritime police ship and then released him.

Li Lin told Su Ming the news he had discovered, and also told him all the conversations he had after meeting the commander Zhang Daoshen.

"This is a profound and clever thing. He is afraid that the Jinshan Guards will not be able to defend it and let us burn the pirates' ships, so that the pirates will have to retreat as soon as possible.

It’s just that the pirates have retreated to Fort Wei, who can guarantee that they will not retaliate against Fort Wei, how can we withstand it when the time comes!" Su Ming said.

"Captain, I originally thought Zhang Daoshen was trying to retain some pirates, but I didn't expect there were so many tricks. So what should we do?" Li Lin asked.

"It's still early and Jinshanwei Town has not encountered an attack yet. Let's wait like this. If Jinshanwei Town is about to lose its defense, we can reduce some pressure on him. After all, Jinshanwei Town must not have any problems.

"Su Ming said.

"Other guard posts under Jinshan Guard are now being attacked by pirates. It won't be long before these guard posts will be breached. I heard from Yan Daliang Qianhu that many of the pirates this time have Fujian accents. It should be that many Fujian people are following the pirates.

If you want to make a fortune, this problem may be very serious." Li Lin said.

Fujian has been corrupted to such an extent. If it continues like this, it will not be a joke for Ming Dynasty to be overthrown by pirates.

Think about Wang Zhi's deeds. Everywhere he went as a merchant, he made no mistakes and did business fairly and impartially with others. How many people along the coast depended on him for their survival. And what about the aloof Zhu family?

The people were squeezed by various means. If the ancestors had not used various means to seize power since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and the interests of the aristocratic families were aligned with them, the people would have been unable to suppress them long ago.

Even though the status of the Zhu family is still very stable now, the prestige of the royal family is already weakening, and the imperial power is also being reduced bit by bit. If you don't accept the hearts of the people, divide the cake well, and make great efforts to carry out self-innovation, when will the Ming Dynasty be overthrown?

It's really just a matter of luck.

Thinking of this, Su Ming couldn't help but have a headache. The southern coast of the Ming Dynasty had reached this level. Emperor Jiajing had to make great efforts to stop the people from following those large merchants from wreaking havoc along the coast. If he didn't do this, the Ming Dynasty might be shaken.

Even though Su Ming didn't know much about the Ming Dynasty, he only knew that Hu Zongxian was the governor of the three provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian under the direct jurisdiction of the South, and led Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to fight against the Japanese pirates.

Qi Jiguang is a great national hero of China. Su Mingna is very familiar with him. He was born in 1528 and died in 1588. Now it is 1556...

"So Qi Jiguang is 18 years old this year. I remember that Qi Jiguang came to Zhejiang from Shandong when he was 19 years old. That means Xu Dong will die the year after next, and the court has begun to prepare for a big reshuffle!" Su Ming thought of Qi Jiguang in his mind.

Many memories came together quickly.

According to the historical knowledge of the Ming Dynasty that Su Ming had in his mind, the pirate attack on the coast of the Ming Dynasty will reach its peak next year. In many cases, the guard posts have been occupied by pirates and Japanese pirates.

Wang Zhi is a person who cannot be underestimated, and later generations have a very high opinion of him. This year he encouraged the people in Fujian and other coastal areas to join their ranks, and next year he will definitely attract a large number of Japanese pirates to attack the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

No one in the world knows the relationship between Wang Zhi and the Japanese state better than Su Ming. His statue was worshiped by the Japanese state five hundred years later, so now is actually the critical time for Wang Zhi to challenge Emperor Jiajing, the strongest man in the world.

After thinking through all this, Su Ming couldn't help but ask himself, what should he do? Should he follow Wang Zhi to destroy the decadent Ming Dynasty and profit from it himself, or should he tell Ming all this and let him make preparations.

He shook his head! So what if he knew all this. Now he is just an insignificant civilian. He may still be able to play some role relying on Er Weibao, but he cannot affect the overall situation.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?" Li Lin saw Su Ming in a daze and asked.

"It's nothing. You go back to the ship to rest and recover first, and stay in good condition. If the pirates attack again, you will have to work harder," Su Ming said.

"Okay, Captain!" After Li Lin said this, Su Ming took back the sea of ​​consciousness.

Su Ming planned to sleep for a while and then go up to the fort wall in the middle of the night. But when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already bright outside the courtyard. He got up and went out. The fifth brother was eating in front of his house with his rice bowl. The eldest brother should be on the fort wall. The pirates last night

Probably no attack was launched.

"Uncle, get up! Come and finish your meal!" Sister-in-law Qin saw Su Ming washing up and said to him with a smile.

Sister-in-law Qin called Su Qingping Lao Wu, Su Zhe Shi San, and Su Ming uncle because Su Ming was Su Ren's younger brother.

"Brother, have you gone to the fort wall?" Su Ming saw that what he ate in the morning was meat porridge, and knew that it was specially made by his sister-in-law for fear that he would be too tired.

"I went there in Mao, and I didn't hear any noise on the fort wall last night." Qin said with a smile.

Even ordinary people in Erwei Fort know that the crisis in Erwei Fort is almost over. The pirates can usually defend the city for two days before the enemy attacks again. Everyone has survived the disaster.

Su Ming was also very happy in his heart. If it weren't for him, the Second Weibao would probably be gone by now. Even if the eldest brother could escape to Jinshanwei Town, the Su family's business would be over at this point, because the Su family has no financial resources to continue.

With this position of 100 households, it is impossible for the Shen family to help.

After breakfast, Su Ming came to the fort wall and saw his elder brother instructing the guards and a group of young men. There was no soldier on the fort wall, and everyone could finally have a good rest.

There was also no sign of pirate activities in the South Village outside the fort. It was not known whether they had left or were hiding and waiting for them to come out.

Su Ren saw his younger brother getting up, smiled at him and walked over.

"Brother, how are your injuries?" Su Ming remembered that his eldest brother was still injured.

"It's just a little flesh wound. After using your medicine, it won't hurt as long as you don't move much. Chen Banner's injury is more serious this time. Let's go over and take a look later," Su Ren said.

The two of them walked down the fort wall together to Chen Jian's yard. Because all the villages outside the fort were crowded into Erwei Fort, Ma Xingwang, Chen Jian and others now all live in the same yard. Seeing the arrival of Brother Su Ming,

Ma Xingwang stepped forward and saluted.

"How is Master Chen doing now? How are Master Ma these days?" Su Ren asked with a smile when he saw Ma Xingwang.

"Seeing that Chen's injury has stabilized, the doctor said that he could recover after lying on the bed for a month. Thanks to the first aid kit given by Master Baihu, we saved Chen Banner.

The pirates attacked Fort Wei, and I couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, and I couldn't help the soldiers carry supplies and wounded people. Ma is ashamed!" Ma Xingwang said.

"Skills have specializations. Master Ma needn't say that. I heard that Master Ma is from Fujian. I still have some things I want to ask Master Ma. I wonder if Master Ma has time!" Su Ming asked at this time.

"Mou Ma has been in the hospital with nothing to do. Would you like to come to my room later?" Master Ma asked.

"Master Ma should come to my house today! We have prepared food and wine for your arrival." Su Ming said with a smile.

Su Ren looked at his younger brother and wondered what he was going to do. At this time, he invited Ma Xingwang to his home. Ma Xingwang also looked puzzled. What question did Su Ming ask him? There was no chance that he would not tell him. He just wanted to treat himself to a banquet.

, anyway, I have nothing to hide.

Entering Chen Jian's room, there was a strong smell of herbs. Chen Jian was wrapped with thick gauze from his left shoulder to his right chest. Although he was awake, he could not move. Su Ming did not expect that his injuries would be so serious.

"Chen Banner Master, please have a good rest. This time, Chen Banner Master helped me Er Weibao a lot. When Yao Qianhu returns from Songjiang City to visit relatives, my eldest brother will definitely show his merit for Chen Banner Master!" Su Ming said.

Chen Jian couldn't speak, but he looked at Su Ming with wide eyes. Su Ming knew that he wanted to ask for news about Yao Qianhu.

"Eighth brother, Lord Qianhu went to Songjiang City? What's going on?" Su Ren asked.

"Oh! Yesterday I asked Li Lin to go to Jinshanwei Town to investigate the news. He entered Jinshanwei Town and saw the commander. He learned that Yao Qianhu took his family to Songjiang City to visit his friends at noon the day before yesterday. No matter what happened to Jinshanwei Town this time,

Yao Qianhu must be fine." Su Ming said.

"How did Yao Qianhu know that the pirates were coming?" Su Ren couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe it's a coincidence! The village fortress outside Jinshanwei Town has almost been captured by pirates. There are about 20,000 pirates attacking Jinshanwei this time. They have captured many civilians. They should launch an attack on Jinshanwei Town the day after tomorrow.

General attack."

Su Ming told this news at this time, of course he wanted to persuade Chen Jian to his side. He knew that Chen Jian's heart would not change so easily, but this time Erwei Fort was not lost, and Yao Qianhu escaped again. It was obvious who the Ming leader was.

.

Ma Xingwang didn't say anything, and his visiting friend even took away his family members. He was born and raised in Fujian, so he must understand what pirates are. Yao Qian's family is in the capital, so he must have the connections to know the time when the pirates attacked Jinshan Guard, so he escaped first.

.

And this also shows that this attack on Jinshanwei Town is not a small matter, there is a big force behind it. When Su Ming just said that he would treat himself to a drink at night, Ma Xingwang seemed to understand something.

But those things were all matters between the great Ming Dynasty family and the royal family. Even if he had been the county governor, he only knew the basics. Su Ming was just a scholar. He didn't even know the level of household registration in Erwei Fort.

thing.

Chen Jian seemed to be thinking about something. Seeing that his intention had been achieved, Su Ming and his elder brother left Chen Jian's room.

After leaving the yard, the two came to the back of the fort. The place was in good order, the women were preparing the morning meal, and most of the men went under the fort wall. The place was divided into many large and small areas, and there were special guards distributing food to them.

"Eighth brother, do you have something important to do with Master Ma? Has Li Lin returned from Jinshanwei Town? How did he enter the town?" Su Ren couldn't help but ask.

"I found something. I'll call Fifth Brother and Cao Banner together tonight and we'll talk.
Chapter completed!
