Part One: Penghu Storm Chapter 159 Preparing for War

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Fight, be ruthless and fight with all your might." Ding Yunyi's words rang in the ears of the brothers: "On the battlefield, as long as you still have breath, you have to stand up and continue to fight. No matter how hard you work, you will be the last person alive.  It¡¯s the only law on the battlefield! There are no cowards among my brothers, I firmly believe it!¡±

    The emotions of these people were gradually aroused.

    Especially Wang Wei, his blood was boiling at this moment, and he wanted to rush to the battlefield immediately to fulfill his dream of becoming a general.

    From this day on, city siege drills became compulsory for Penghu officers and soldiers. Ding Yunyi even made rules for this: the first person to attack the city wall each time would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

    This is a huge sum of money, more than three months of brothers¡¯ salary.  Therefore, as soon as this order came out, everyone rushed to be first in every drill, fearing that they would fall behind and watch the money being taken away by others.

    I have been training like this for more than half a month, and it has been quite effective.

    At this time, Li Guo, who went out to contact the pirates, also came back.

    As predicted before, most of the pirates are afraid of Ding Yunyi's reputation, fearing that this is a trap and they will never be able to leave Penghu. Some pirates are still waiting and are unwilling to come to Penghu.

    But it was not all without gain. Li Guo went around and used his credibility as a guarantee. After repeated persuasion, six pirates decided to take the risk and attend the meeting.

    These six pirates are all small pirates, with the most only having three ships, and they are called sea mud bears.  The other five are Wang Desan, Zhen Yifang, Clippers Sun, Ghostface Xing and Fang Fenghuang.

    Hearing the names of these six people, Ding Yunyi almost laughed. Is there any serious name?

    These pirates live a life of licking blood with their swords. Once caught by the government, beheading will be inevitable and their families will be implicated, so they refuse to use their real names.  Some nicknames are given by themselves, while others are given by others based on their looks and habits.

    Although it¡¯s not entirely satisfactory, it¡¯s something new and even a bit absurd. Finally, six companies have come, so it¡¯s a good start.

    Li Guo told Ding Yunyi that these six pirates had a close relationship with him and trusted him not to betray them. They all agreed to go to Penghu to attend the pirate conference on the 20th of this month.

    Counting the days, there are only a few days left. It¡¯s just that such a conference is a bit shady. The fewer people who know about it, the better. It can¡¯t be welcomed with great fanfare.

    Ordered to prepare some good wine and food, Ding Yunyi waited for that day to arrive.

    It¡¯s an exercise and a pirate conference. Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t make any deliberate preparations for the upcoming wedding.  Fortunately, the people of Penghu knew that Ding Xunjian was getting married, and everyone was overjoyed and helped to organize the wedding.  Qin Yun also allocated a sum of money and a few skilled people from Daming Ocean Company to prepare for the marriage, so Ding Yunyi didn't need to worry about it.

    During this period, Ye Yuan sent more than a hundred people to Penghu one after another. As a result, the various armed forces in Ding Yunyi's hands had reached about a thousand.

    Ding Yunyi never thought that one day he would have a thousand soldiers in his hands.

    This kind of power is enough to carry out a vigorous fight.

    The only thing he is worried about now is that Zheng Zhilong must not show up on his wedding day, otherwise with his meticulousness, the matter will be exposed.

    The shipbuilding workshop is also in full swing, which is also the key point.  Regardless of whether the attack on Taiwan is successful or not, the shipyard must be built.

    As a result, Qin Yun became the busiest person in Penghu.  He had to be responsible for the construction of the shipyard, preparations for his eldest brother's wedding, and all the logistical supplies for the attack on Taiwan. He was extremely busy all day long.

    Ding Yunyi couldn't bear to let a scholar be busy like this, but Qin Yun was very tolerant. Instead, he smiled and comforted: "Brother, don't worry about me. I was originally a Jieyuan who was kicked out. If there was no big brother,  I have been so confused and idle all my life. Now that I am following my brother and doing something as grand as retaking Taiwan, it is worth it even if I die. Qin¡¯s name will definitely go down in history.¡±

    Seeing what Qin Yun said, Ding Yunyi didn't know what to do.

    Qin Yun smiled and then said seriously: "There is one thing that has been on my mind for a few days. We are preparing to recover Taiwan. My eldest brother is supervising this matter all day long, but we must not forget that there are Zheng Zhilong's spies in Penghu. Brother  A happy event is approaching, but there is no festive atmosphere at all, which makes people suspicious. "

    Ding Yunyi nodded, but he was negligent in this regard.

    "A man who is about to become a groom's officer, but he runs around in the military camp all day long without paying any attention to the marriage. It seems very unfair."?.

    Without saying much at the moment, he turned around and left.

    Looking at his back, Qin Yun smiled.  He knew that the eldest brother must have gone to the bride-to-be now and would be beaming in front of everyone.

    The eldest brother is not a perfect person, he also has many shortcomings.  But his biggest advantage is that he can listen to other people's opinions, and as long as the opinion is right, he will correct it immediately.

    Such a person is the enlightened master that one wholeheartedly wants to follow

    Although the Ming Dynasty is still huge, it already looks like the building is about to collapse.  Internal and external troubles are eroding this huge empire all the time. Once something fatal happens, it will inevitably collapse.

    ??Whether it is a rogue bandit or a golden prisoner, it may become this fatal point.

    The Ming Dynasty has collapsed. Where will the people of the Ming Dynasty go?  Maybe it's time to think about your own options now.

    In troubled times, there are always heroes.  At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Taizu started his career bit by bit as a beggar, and finally defeated all his opponents and established the Ming Dynasty.

    What now?  Who is a person like Emperor Taizu now?

    Emperor Chongzhen was diligent, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as a "wise emperor", but he may not be the one who could turn the tide. After all, the foundation of the empire had already been hollowed out.

    ¡°In Fujian alone, various forces are intertwined, and the governor personally appointed by the imperial court does not have as much weight as a general.

    Qin Yun exhaled softly. He knew that he was making a bet. The bet was that Ding Yunyi was the "hero" he was looking for, and the bet was his life's future.

    ¡°At least so far, he can¡¯t see the possibility of losing.  Ding Yunyi climbed from a soldier to a guard position in the shortest time, and even gained the emperor's trust.

    So what about this time?  Will Ding Yunyi continue to regain Taiwan smoothly?

    For Ding Yunyi, this adventure is also a gamble.
