Chapter 358: Bow down
In the bushes at the top of the mountain, a head cautiously poked out, looked around to see if there was no one, walked a few steps forward, half-crouched against a small tree, and his eyes fell on the pedestrian at the foot of the mountain.
The name Qian Yuan is quite resounding among the Japanese invaders, not to mention Xiao Xian, Shen Nanshan and other Japanese leaders who died in his hands, and Xu Hai, who was thriving in Chongde's first battle, made his reputation even more famous.
At that time, Xu Hai led a large-scale invasion of the Japanese invaders, spanning Jiaxing, Huzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, and Tongzhou, coming and going without scrupulous, playing with several times his own officers and soldiers, but only in Chongde was frustrated by Qian Yuan.
But there are very few widows who have really seen Qian Yuan, after all, Qian Yuan rarely goes into battle in person, and there are no cameras or sketches in this era, but he has seen them.
Chen Mazi's body trembled slightly, the night when Chongde won the battle, the real widow climbed and opened the city gate, he led the widow to rush into the city with a knife, and then let him still don't know why the tragedy happened, in the deep ditch, the screams of the brothers still woke him up from time to time after two years.
He had seen Qian Yuan, on the other side of the ditch, through the faint mist, he saw the young scholar who rolled up the hem of his robe, and he believed that it must be Qian Yuan.
Fear, excitement and all kinds of emotions filled Chen Mazi's heart, he knew that to appear here, it must be under the command of the general, someone colluded with the officers and soldiers, or in other words, the government buried the secret beside the general.
In the battle two years ago, Chen Mazi was abandoned by Xu Hai, and the brothers around him died one by one, and he was swept to the corner...... Now he knew he had a chance.
Looking from a distance, the group had already walked out of the woods at the foot of the mountain and appeared on the beach, the shining knife light flashed away, and Chen Mazi hurriedly lay on the ground.
"It's buried." Qian Yuan explained casually, took a package handed by Yang Wen, walked aside with Tan Wei, and whispered, "There are fifteen books inside." ”
"What to do?"
Qian Yuan explained in detail, now there is no telegram, and it is really difficult to meet in the vast sea, so he can only use the method of dead casting, and he must use secret words.
Qian Yuan, who has watched countless spy war dramas such as "Latent", "Before Dawn", and "Kite", proudly taught Tan Wei how to use secret words, "You must use this digital method...... The second uncle listened to me first. ”
There's no way, you really can't use the numbers in Chinese characters, 20 people use one Gan......
"The first two numbers represent which book, and the last three digits represent which page...... Even the first page should be written as 001. Qian Yuan's mouth is dry, in fact, this kind of secret language also existed in ancient China, but it didn't spread.
Tan Wei sighed a few words of admiration, this brain is really good enough, today's meeting made him look at his nephew again and again, two Jinshi, selected Jishi to enter the Hanlin Academy, has a talent for military strategy, pays great attention to details, and has a strong view of the situation...... I still know all about Taixi.
By the way, the "Magnolia Flower Order" just now can be called unparalleled for a while.
"That woman is ...... you," Tan Wei was a little curious.
It's really enough gossip, let's talk about gossip at this time?
Qian Yuan said angrily: "I found out her roots, his parents, brother and sister-in-law, and nephews are all in my hands." ”
The corners of Tan Wei's mouth moved, and he took the package, "Or on this island?" ”
"Just that cave, carved directly into the stone wall, I send people to see it every other day...... No, if Xu Hai attacks Taizhou and Ningbo, I'm afraid that no one will dare to go to sea. Qian Yuan hesitated for a moment, "I will leave people on the island and bring food to eat, there is a spring on the mountain." ”
Having made up his mind, Qian Yuan beckoned Wang Yi and Yang Wen to whisper a few words.
"No problem, I'll pick someone over, four people, two people in a batch, and change it every five days." Yang Wen nodded, "Pick from the old man." ”
"Once Xu Hai is dispatched, you will send someone to the island......" Qian Yuan paused for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is there a reliable person?" ”
"There have also been some henchmen over the years...... To put it mildly, you can hook up with Wang Zhi and Ye Zongman, as long as you don't know that the contact person is the government, it should be fine. ”
"No, it's a big deal." Qian Yuan waved his hand, pondered for a moment and half-turned around and said, "Pick four people over and follow them." ”
Wang Yi and Yang Wen were a little surprised, these eight people were carefully selected and were the backbone of the Qian family's guards, but Qian Yuan was usually close to his subordinates, but when he encountered something, he was very strict, and the two immediately turned around to prepare.
"The order is forbidden, the Qian family's guards really live up to their reputation, it is said that Qi Jiguang asked you for a lesson in the art of war." Tan Wei sighed: "If the coastal armies look like the guards of the rich family, no matter how many of them are ten times more, it will not be enough to kill them." ”
"Impossible, the Qian family guards only have more than 100 people, and they cost nearly 5,000 taels of silver every year." Qian Yuan shook his head, "These four people can be used with confidence, their brothers and family members are in my hands." ”
Tan Wei swallowed his saliva, this nephew was a little ruthless, and his thoughts were deep...... Also, without such a mind, how could he lay an ambush beside Xu Hai early, Xu Hai may not know until he dies that the person next to the pillow is actually Qian Yuan's person.
When the time of separation came, Qian Yuan was on the beach, kneeling down to salute Tan Wei solemnly in the sound of the waves crashing and the howling sea breeze.
As a traverser, Qian Yuan didn't like to bow down, except for the forced face-to-face pilgrimage and rituals, he only knelt down to his parents, but today he knelt on the ground willingly.
The middle-aged man in front of him did not leave any traces in the history books, but he was not inferior to those famous generals who resisted the Japanese, and even in terms of importance, he was not inferior to anyone except Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang.
The most important thing is that being in the enemy camp, in the wolf's den and tiger's den, holding a butcher's knife, and having a bright heart, this is not enough for Tan Wei, physical fatigue, walking on the edge of the cliff all the time, but at the spiritual level, it is an extremely torturous time.
"My mother misses me very much, and I often look forward to seeing each other again, and my brother-in-law prays day and night in the city of Taizhou." Qian Yuan said softly: "My nephew knows that this trust will embarrass the second uncle, and he will be infamous even more, but ......"
"Alright." Tan Wei pulled Qian Yuan up, "The southeast coast is in dire straits, and the people are wailing, two years ago, I followed Xu Hai into Kou Jiaxing, a place full of corpses and bones, and there is no cooking smoke in the village, even if I hate the career, how can I not do it?" ”
"I only hope that he will kill the Japanese invaders one day, and the day of reunion will ......"
"At that time, my nephew was pouring wine in the kitchen to make amends." Qian Yuan barely pulled out a smile.
"Okay, that's a deal." Tan Wei glanced at Qian Yuan deeply, turned his head and strode towards the ship that had been pushed into the sea.
Watching the ship disappear into the darkness from afar, Qian Yuan turned his head to look at the six people who remained, and frowned, "Zhou Ji went?" ”
"Well, he's in the lead." Yang Wen replied in a low voice.
Zhou Ji is Zhou Ze's younger brother, both brothers are tenants of the Qian family, the elder brother Zhou Ze is clever, and now he can take charge of himself, and the younger brother Zhou Ji is stable and is indeed a suitable candidate.
"Zhou Ze Zhouji has a father and a mother, and there is a younger brother below who is married, and the food garden has been vacated for them to live in."
"Yes, I'll arrange it when I get back." Wang Yi looked at the sky, "Young master, let's wait until dawn before leaving." ”
Qian Yuan nodded, took the water bladder and drank a few sips, thinking about the gains and losses of this trip in his heart.
History has taken another path, Ye Ma and Chen Dong have no real power, even if Hu Zongxian wants to make a divisive plan again, he is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, and he wants to strangle Xu Hai and fight hard...... Except for the Qi family's army, I am afraid that other officers and soldiers will not be able to succeed.
handed out Wang Cuiqiao's chess piece, according to Tan Wei, this woman is very valued by Xu Hai, sorting out documents for her and taking care of internal affairs, which is consistent with historical records.
However, it is difficult to say what role Wang Cuiqiao can play now, after all, Tan Wei is in the enemy camp, and many things can only be decided on the spot.
Killing Xu Hai is a must, and the discord is ...... Qian Yuan was guessing that the dissension plan might not be implemented within Xu Hai, and the armistice agreement between Wang Zhi and Xu Hai was very unstable, so was there anything that could be used in it.
If there is a promise to lift the sea ban and allow trade, Wang Zhi may help the Ming army to exterminate Xu Hai, and Wang Zhi has a precedent in this regard.
After pondering for a long time, Qian Yuan was a little depressed, he had no chance to contact Wang Zhi at all, and remembered that Hu Zongxian had sent an envoy to Japan to discuss with Wang Zhi about returning to Shun, maybe he could go back and write a letter to ask.
The sky was slightly bright, and the group set off to leave the island, when the boat and the water and the sky were the same, Chen Mazi finally dared to stand up straight and stand on the top of the mountain, his eyes flashed and wondered, who was secretly meeting with this Qian family, he decided to go back and check.
