Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sudden Disaster

....................

The moon is in the sky, and the night is hazy; The horse's hooves are urgent, and the line is hurried.

As soon as the fast horse neighed, the knight on horseback seemed to be in a great hurry, and he thought that the mount was too slow, and kept whipping the horse, and looked very restless.......

While galloping forward, he kept loudly identifying himself to the surrounding officers and soldiers, and under the moonlight, a handsome face was distorted and deformed due to excessive nervousness, and the sergeants on both sides were shocked by the hideous and terrifying looks, and after seeing the face of the knight on horseback, he no longer dared to have even half a word of questioning, and let the rude and violent knight urge the horse all the way away.

After the knight had galloped forward, a young sergeant stepped across his horse and quickly reported to the commanding envoy.........

This knight was Zhang Mingyuan, the deputy of the Qianhu Office of Longshan who had just rushed out of the house of General Qi.

If you don't want to plant willows, you will get 'shade' unexpectedly, and if you have the intention to protect 'flowers', it will be difficult to find 'flowers'.

As soon as the family of General Qi Mingjiang learned the news that the Japanese invaded several regions and were not completely wiped out, and that the military and civilian casualties suffered huge losses, Zhang Mingyuan categorically judged that this was the most famous 'Huizhou Incident' in the history of the Ming Dynasty's resistance to the Japanese. According to the information on the official website of the previous life, in the summer of the 34th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, a small detachment of only 100 people traveled thousands of miles along the southeast coast to create a miracle in military history, which can also be called the greatest military shame in foreign wars since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

On horseback, the wind was blowing, and the cool night breeze was whistling around Zhang Mingyuan, and the mind that was constantly surging with blood calmed down slightly, and his brain was spinning rapidly, racking his brains and thinking hard about the memory fragments of the 'Huizhou incident' on the Internet in his previous life, and tried his best to sort out the complete details..........

'In July of the 34th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, a group of more than 100 Japanese squads successfully landed in Shangyu, Zhejiang, and plundered Chun'an, Zhejiang Province to the west through Beixinguan, and then successively sacked Huizhou, Wuhu, Taiping, and Jiangning towns in Anhui..........

With the strength of more than 100 people, this group of Japanese invaders has run amok for thousands of miles in the southeast coastal area of the Ming Dynasty, killing and injuring 4,000 or 5,000 soldiers and civilians (including a royal history, a county seat, and two generals). It took more than 80 days to be encircled and annihilated in Zhejiang, which was the 'Huizhou Incident' that shocked the Ming Dynasty.

The number of these Japanese was small, and it was not even a local battle level, but it flowed thousands of miles along the southeast coast, and the scale of the killing and wounding was extremely harmful, and it had a huge shock to the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty's rule, and then had a great impact on the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty established the idea and system of defending the inland areas against enemies at sea for centuries. ’

...........

If this was just an ordinary invasion of the Japanese invaders, Zhang Mingyuan might not have been in such a hurry, so he took a good time, immediately stabbed his sword, and led the elite soldiers of Longshan to smash Huanglong, he thought that he could completely annihilate this group of beasts and return the sky and the earth to the sun.

But the news of the messenger about 'Nanjing garrison Xu Guogong's granddaughter came to watch Haiwei' made him completely crazy, this is the fire that adds fuel to the fire and is an imminent major event, regardless of the huge harm caused by the loss of the powerful daughter, just the hazy feelings in his heart for this daughter have made Zhang Mingyuan difficult to give up, not to mention that he has had an agreement with the old prince to marry.

The Japanese are running around, and the killings are not counted; The officers and troops were ineffective in fighting and suffered setbacks at every turn. And Xu Wan came to watch Haiwei alone at this time, if Xu Wan lost .......... Zhang Mingyuan really didn't dare to imagine.

Thinking about it carefully, it is extremely scary, according to the description of the informant, as well as the time node of the Japanese Koukou's flow, it should have flowed to the vicinity of Guanhaiwei in the past few days, so the probability of Xu Wan colliding with it will be greatly increased.........

Lose to know cherish; is about to lose, but knows to cherish more.

This is Zhang Mingyuan's sad mood at this time.

There was no time to dispatch troops, no time to call for men, and no time to ask for support, so Zhang Mingyuan hurriedly embarked on a journey to find Xu Wan, because this was no longer a simple act to deal with the invasion of the Japanese invaders, but it was already seriously related to his life through the world.

Through the confusion, life cannot be careless.

As early as before leaving, he carefully studied the map of Guanhaiwei, combined with the informant's narration, and according to the special investigation ideas, Zhang Mingyuan quickly compared and screened the direction of the detective, and determined the route taken by Xu Wan and his party, Zhang Mingyuan decided to go the opposite way, chase all the way, do his best to find out Xu Wan's whereabouts, and bring her back completely---- with special skills, Zhang Mingyuan thinks he has this ability.

............

The night breeze hit, it was extremely cool, like a pair of warm jade hands caressing, and the anxious heart was intoxicated with sweetness.

I don't know when it began, Xu Wan's eccentric and beautiful face lingered in Zhang Mingyuan's mind from time to time, lingering, the more he thought about it, the deeper he thought, sometimes he tried his best to forget her, but the more he forgot it, the clearer it became, even he didn't know what was going on? 'Missing'? 'Affection'? Or is it 'camaraderie'? He really couldn't imagine it...........

In his previous life, he was a special warfare soldier, and in his later life, he was an anti-Japanese soldier, the same iron-blooded soldier, Zhang Mingyuan has never been a short-of-breath hero who has a long love for his children, as a traverser, he may not have the slightest expectation of hegemony in his heart, but he must have the ideal of not being willing to be mediocre and pursuing a wonderful life, because too much love for children will affect the planning of the life path.

'I especially hate that there are many children and few clouds. At the age of less than twenty, if the emotional component is too heavy because of the love of children, it is undoubtedly like a spiritual film for the pursuit of a wise and wonderful life, and there is no benefit. Once it invades your body, it will definitely lose your fighting spirit, destroy your beliefs, and destroy your ideals. Unfortunately, these simple truths are not understood by every man, and they are often indulged in them and can't extricate themselves, probably because the process ------of love is too enjoyable and intoxicating, and the reason is probably that the process of love is too enjoyable and intoxicating, and it is too addictive, right?

For him, rescuing Xu Wan prefers to think that it is a 'soul redemption' rather than admitting that it is a 'love affair'.

Deep down, Xu Wan may have occupied some space, but he felt that the rest of the space should be filled with a wonderful and wise life.

Zhang Mingyuan is an ordinary traverser, he is not Ximenqing.

…………

The capital, Yuxi Palace, the Dan room.

Since the fire in Wanshou Palace, Emperor Jiajing, who was unwilling to settle in the main hall, locked himself in the palace in the self-proclaimed Dan room of the Jingshe.

"Yuxi Palace" three tall and strong regular script characters hung in the middle of the gate, and the left side is "Chen Yan Song Jingshu" five small characters.

The palace is very large, and there is a huge three-legged covered copper incense burner in the center, and the lid of the furnace is hollowed out according to the gossip image, and the hollow place continues to pour out a faint cigarette. In the center of the north wall directly above the copper incense burner, there is a very plain white nave with a few lines of thin gold script written on it: "I have three virtues, I say Ci, I say that I dare not be the first in the world"; At the bottom of the inscription is a big red vermilion seal, engraved with four seal characters of "Loyal and Filial Emperor".

Opposite the copper incense burner are two rows of brocade chairs, and directly in front of it is a simple rosewood chair with armrests, on which sits a fairy wind bone figure holding a dust.

The immortal wind and bones are like feathered immortals, and they can't escape the mundane body of the world, and this person is the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, ---- Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing was dressed plainly, and at this time he only appeared in the costume of a Taoist priest, surrounded by fairy qi and the 'fragrant leaf crown' made of flowers and leaves, giving people the illusion of being in a Taoist temple: this is a "plaything" emperor, not wearing a majestic and illustrious dragon robe, but practicing qi and meditating all day long, is he a Taoist priest or a son of heaven?

However, what is certain is that the creation of 'Jiajing Zhongxing' is definitely directly related to him.

Emperor Jiajing had a few wrinkles piled up on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked expressionlessly at a pair of messy folds on the long rosewood table in front of him; The gloomy and expressionless appearance made the cabinet members Yan Song and Xu Jie, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Bing, and the eunuch of the celebrant and the commander of the Dongchang Huang Jin, shudder.

Different from the mysterious scene of hiding in the Danfang of the Elite House in the past and deciding the cabinet meeting by hitting the copper chime, today Emperor Jiajing sat on the rosewood chair early under the repeated urging of Huang Jin.

This time, he couldn't be calm, he hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, he was full of deep anxiety, and the dust in his hand trembled with his rapid breathing.
