Chapter 356: Contact
Since ancient times, how many great things have started because of one person, and how many big things have been defeated because of one person.
Zhaolie looked at the thatched house three times to get Wolong, so as to lay the momentum of the world; Xiao He chased Han Xin at night, and Gaozu was able to destroy Chu in just four years, and he had a four-hundred-year Han foundation.
It is the same today, although because the world is in a period of rapid trade development, but because of the Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea, the trade between the East and the West was cut off, which caused the southeast war, but if there was no Xu Hai, this war would not have caused such a big storm.
Similarly, without this Mr. Fang, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai would not have started a war, and Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou would not have had a chance to breathe and train new armaments.
No matter who this mysterious Mr. Fang is and what kind of intentions he has, Qian Yuan is grateful to him.
In fact, Qian Yuan didn't know that history quietly turned a corner here, in the original time and space, Xu Hai invaded the southeast coast again this year, Hu Zongxian divided and collapsed with a counter-strategy, Xu Hai, Chen Dong, and Ye Ma turned against each other, and finally they were all broken by Hu Zongxian one by one in Pinghu County, and all three died.
Now, compared with the original time and space, the number of Japanese under Xu Hai's command will definitely be much smaller, but the military strength may not be weak, after all, he has raised a fierce army after fighting with Wang Zhi.
Of course, compared with the original time and space, Qi Jiguang entered Zhejiang ahead of schedule, and Qi's army also came out in advance, taking advantage of the more than a year when Xu Hai and Wang Zhi were at war, Hu Zongxian was in full swing to organize and train the new army, strengthen coastal defense, and even build sea ships.
"So, does this person still have merit?" Tan Wei smiled bitterly.
"If you have a heart for good, you will not be rewarded for good, and if you have no intention for evil, you will not be punished for evil." Qian Yuan said indifferently: "I don't know what this person wants to do, he calms down the chaos every day, he is a literati, and it doesn't matter if he kills or not." ”
Looking up at the position of the moon, about estimating the time, Qian Yuan asked carefully about the details of the various Japanese robberies under Xu Hai's command, in fact, the Japanese are a bit like the Spring and Autumn Period, Xu Hai is equivalent to the monarch of a large country, and there is a direct army below, and then the monarch of each small vassal state takes the army to protect him left and right, and attacks with the army.
But after more than a year of war, Xu Hai is weak and strong, and has repeatedly annexed allies with black hands, and most of the thousands of people under his command are directly under him, such as Tan Wei gathered hundreds of people in two or three years, but after losing battle again and again, there are less than 200 descendants, whether he wants to or not, they are all regarded as Xu Hai's descendants.
"Ye Ma had a falling out with Xu Hai more than two years ago, last year Xu Hai was the first to attack Ye Ma's widows, Chen Dong is similar, these two people are now in charge, so don't look at Xu Hai now There are four or five thousand people, but in fact, there are more direct troops than when they invaded Susong two years ago." Tan Wei gushed endlessly: "Ten days ago, Xu Hai found another widow to be his deputy general, and this guy brought more than 500 real widows. ”
"Wait a minute." Qian Yuan's eyes rolled, "Xu Hai and Wang Zhi started a war, what is the reaction of the Japanese people?" Help Xu Hai or help Wang Zhi? Or do you not help each other? ”
"By and large, the two don't help each other." Tan Wei said in detail: "But because Wang Zhi has a territory in the Japanese country, and Xu Hai is deployed on several large and small islands, and has ignited the flames of war to the Japanese country several times, so even if Xu Hai has a close relationship with the Japanese people, he is quite hostile. ”
"In other words, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai started a war, and the Japanese people may have secretly helped Wang Zhi, but never helped Xu Hai?"
"Not bad."
Qian Yuan dropped the stone in his hand and said coldly: "It seems that Xu Hai is really going to invade the coast again." ”
Tan Wei was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized, "Yes, now that Xu Hai is in a truce, and there are Japanese leaders to vote, Xu Hai wants to repeat the old things from two years ago!" ”
Qian Yuan was a little surprised, judging from the various details of his speech and demeanor at this hour, Tan Wei should not fail to see this.
"What is Xu Hai's idea for this fight!" Tan Wei gritted his teeth fiercely, "A few days ago, he strictly ordered everyone not to harass coastal ......"
Qian Yuan was stunned, and immediately reacted, "Xu Hai is afraid that the officials and soldiers will be prepared. ”
"Xu Hai is cunning and suspicious, this time he was defeated under Wang Zhi's hands, he suspected that someone had reported to Wang Zhi, or Wang Zhi had planted people under him, and three or four small leaders had disappeared in a row in just over ten days." Tan Wei was a little anxious, "But where will Xu Hai choose?" ”
"Songjiang, Tongzhou, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Taizhou are all possible." Qian Yuan couldn't make up his mind, "You won't choose Shandong and Fujian, right?" ”
"No, it won't." Tan Wei immediately shook his head, "It must be Zhejiang, the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, at most Tongzhou, Jiangbei, Xu Hai and Wang Zhi's Japanese Kou account for more than sixty percent, and the rest of the Japanese Kou have their own sphere of influence, even Wang Zhi will not rush to interfere." ”
Qian Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, this kind of thing can't be guessed, if you are wrong, you will have to pay a heavy price, but unfortunately Qi Jiguang's training does not know when it will end, otherwise he can lure Xu Hai to attack Taizhou.
"Second uncle, you said before that your status under Xu Hai ......"
"Not high, not too low." Tan Wei made an analogy, "Xu Hai, who calls himself General Pinghai, if he is a chief military officer, I am probably slightly higher than the general and slightly lower than the guerrilla." ”
"Xu Hai ...... you" Qian Yuan couldn't open his mouth a little.
"It's ordinary, it's not up or down, Xu Hai just started, and I was coerced into the ......"
"Some qualifications?"
"Well, I didn't work too hard when I invaded Jiaxing and Huzhou two years ago...... This time Xu Haiwang went straight to the battle, and I tried to hide as far away as possible every time there was a battle...... Tan Wei spread his hands, "Otherwise, in the defeat of Xu Hai a month ago, I would have been killed on the spot." ”
Qian Yuan was silent for a while, looking up at the bright moon that was half hidden by the rocks on the top of the mountain, from this angle, it seemed that the moon was gradually swallowed by the dark cliffs and bushes.
"I'm going back this time...... The second uncle has made many military exploits...... Qian Yuan said with difficulty, "I heard that Xu Hai regards wealth as his life, and he likes to collect calligraphy and paintings of celebrities without reading, I can find ...... for my second uncle."
This is a compliment, but in the special case of Tan Wei stretching out the Japanese Kou...... This means that Tan Wei, who has been barely coping with his errands, will raise his knife and stab at the unarmed people, plundering their property and burning down their houses.
Tan Wei, who had only thought about providing information, felt that his mouth was extremely dry, his face was blue and white, he looked up at the moon that was gradually swallowed up by the rocks and bushes on the top of the mountain, and only after a while did he whisper: "I heard that the Huating Qian clan is a hero again, and the means are good, and the eyes will be rewarded...... Where did the second uncle offend you? ”
Once this decision is made, Tan Wei will probably no longer be able to wash away the sludge on his body, and he will never be able to appear openly again, and even Yihuang Tan will never admit that there is a Tan Wei who once became famous at a young age.
"Hu Ruzhen had the ambition to quell the rebellion, but she had to rely on the Yan Party to take the position; Qi Jiguang has the appearance of a famous general, but he wants to send a large amount of property to bribe the governor's mansion. Qian Yuan stood tall and said expressionlessly: "Two years ago, my uncle bribed Li Tianzhong, the governor of Zhejiang, so that Taizhou had to allow the first new army to be trained to resist the Japanese invaders. ”
In this war, which has been going on for several years, self-cleaning is not a bad thing, but maintaining the self-cleaning style of the cliff shore will limit one's ability.
Yu Dayou can be called a famous general, but in fact, Hu Zongxian does not attach as much importance to him as Lu Bo, although Qi Jiguang has a reputation, but after all, he has not killed many enemies, but he can get Hu Zongxian's permission to recruit troops into an army for the second time, Wu Baipeng's talent is obvious to all, but the princes of the court and the central government ignore him.
Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, and Tan Lun, their conduct cannot be compared with Yu Dayou, but their role in this war must be greater than Yu Dayou.
Tan Wei naturally figured this out, he took off the bamboo tube hanging on the north back, poured several sips of water, calmed down, and then nodded slightly, "Okay, what do you need me to do?" ”
"Try to get Xu Hai's trust, I need you to contact someone."
"Okay, Xu Hai loves money and likes to collect celebrity calligraphy and paintings...... The former is not easy to say, the latter is you send it. Tan Wei paused, "In addition, Xu Hai is also a woman...... Why don't you get a few courtesans from the Qinhuai River? ”
"Don't Don't ......"
The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth twitched, don't make trouble, if Wang Cuiqiao falls out of favor, it will be funny!
"I need my second uncle to contact someone, a person who is extremely trusted by Xu Hai, a woman."
"Women?"
"Second uncle just mentioned."
The shocked Tan Wei couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and the nephew in front of him, who had just grown a beard, seemed to be blurred. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
