Of course, Yang Xin didn't know that he had been fooled again, and he was still a little tender after all......

After all, he was a slender man six years ago.

If you really want to talk about playing conspiracy and scheming, he is still a little worse than these old foxes who are intrigued by the profession after all, he is a training officer, and his duty is to grasp the ideological work in the army, and engaging in conspiracy is a sideline, but the water is too cold, no matter which one of these, he is immersed in conspiracy and trickery all his life, and it is more than enough to play him and Gan Hui, who only knows how to fight. After returning to Fancheng, he and Gan Hui began to board the ship and head south, and the next morning, they had already entered the area controlled by the Ming army, met Jiao Wenyu, who was waiting, and then began to prepare for the next action.

However......

They waited for three days and did not see the emperor go south.

"What's going on?"

Gan Hui asked with a depressed expression.

"It is said that Your Majesty's illness has recurred!"

Jiao Wenyu said.

He, the town guard, can directly contact Jinyiwei's intelligence station in Chengtian, and Jinyiwei Chengtian Station can quickly know what happened in Xiangyang. At this time, the intelligence connection between the Ming army and the Jinyiwei was already very perfect, with the intelligence stations in various places as the core, and these intelligence stations were connected into a network, but each station radiated outward to provide intelligence for the army within its own responsibility. The Ming army's operations relied to a large extent on the intelligence of Jinyiwei, although the Metropolitan Department also had its own intelligence department, and the combat unit also had its own reconnaissance unit, but there was still a big gap between these and Jinyiwei's hidden resident agents.

The latter's intelligence stations are all over the country.

In fact, at this time, half of the Jinyiwei establishment system was composed of such field agents, who lurked in various capacities and even in major cities in the Ming control area, carrying out various intelligence gathering tasks both externally and internally.

And not just domestic.

Even foreign countries have begun to set up intelligence stations at this time.

For example, Nagasaki and Edo in the Japanese kingdom, Seoul and Pyongyang in Korea, Hanoi and Hue in Vietnam, and even Batavia and Manila have intelligence stations, and they have driven as far as Madras, which is controlled by the British. The first batch of naturalized white Jinyi guards have also been born, to be precise, to buy some white seamen, and then let them spy on intelligence mainly in Europe in exchange for rewards, and even give them Ming nationality, so that they can naturalize the Ming Dynasty after they have done enough in the future.

This is not an exaggeration.

In fact, many of the crew members of the two East India Companies aspired to the Ming Dynasty, after all, they were at the lowest level in Europe, and life here was like a paradise compared to Europe, and it was not difficult to develop a few among them who were willing to give up their faith and naturalize.

Fanatics are in the minority after all.

At this time, it was the era of fierce religious struggles in Europe, the old Protestant Christianity was almost incompatible, and the Spanish army killed the Dutch as if it were killing the infidels, and the faith was very confused. A heavenly country in the Far East, a monarch with a mystical color, it is not difficult to attract a few lost lambs to the new world completely. Besides, even if it is not naturalization, just charging to sell intelligence, these crew members have no psychological burden to do it, there is nothing wrong with gold coins, they will not be more disciplined than Jin merchants in terms of betraying the country.

Moreover, these Jinyiwei agents are not only military intelligence, but also political, commercial, religious and even customs.

The same applies to stealing techniques.

Even assassinations, explosions, incitement, and the like.

Jin Yiwei is transforming into a professional intelligence agency, and in the future, Yang Qing is ready to continue to split up and create a combination similar to the CIA, the FBI, and the internal guard, and really establish his spy rule in Daming.

"Relapse?"

Gan Hui said in amazement.

He and Yang Xin looked at each other......

This is a ghost who believes it, a period of illness and a period of improvement and a recurrence of illness, it is simply inexplicable, not to mention that he is not taking a carriage, and he also needs to worry about bumps on the road, which is nothing more than going out of the city and getting on the boat, and the rest of the way down the river to Nanjing, a little sick does not affect anything at all. What's more, if you are really sick, you should hurry to a place with good medical standards, can Xiangyang be compared with Wuchang? What doctors are not in the hospitals under the Wuchang Metropolitan Division!

"Is King Tang okay?"

Yang Xin said.

"King Tang has not shown up so far, but according to Jinyiwei's intelligence, the staff officers around him have not shown up either, including his house slaves, and the Japanese slave cavalry stationed outside the city is missing."

Jiao Wenyu said.

"No, there's a problem with this, let's go, go to Xiangyang immediately, I want to see what the hell they do."

He went on to say.

Yang Xin also felt that something was wrong, last time he did ignore one point, that is, those staff officers around Tang Wang, why didn't these people show up, originally he thought he was directing to pack up, but until now it is very problematic that he has not shown up. He and Gan Hui quickly got on their horses, and then gathered their troops to rush to Xiangyang as fast as they could, but before they arrived in Yicheng, they were blocked by the soldiers of Jin Shenghuan's troops guarding the border, and according to the previous agreement, they could not enter Jin Shenghuan's territory again.

"Array, I'll see who dares to stop it!"

Gan Hui shouted.

He was already a little anxious at this time.

If there is another accident, it will really be a shame in life!

As his order was given, the Ming army, which had never really shown its fangs along the way, immediately lined up, and four infantry battalions lined up on the banks of the Han River in a standard brigade line, although they had been equipped with the latest flintlock muskets at this time, his brigade did not have time to change tactically, and it was still the standard Gustav line. Soon three infantry battalions were in front, one infantry battalion was in the rear, each battalion was one infantry post in front of three infantry posts, and the spearmen and flintlock musketeers were arranged at intervals after the number was reduced again, and the artillery was lined up in front of the cavalry on both wings, and the red battle formation was across the green.

On the Han River next to it, Jiao Wenyu's chariot infantry slowly went up by boat.

The Kanebe on the opposite side immediately withered.

Originally, they wanted Gan Hui to wait, and they asked for instructions before replying, but Gan Hui was not interested in talking nonsense with them at all, and the entire formation was directly arrayed forward and quickly approached the distance of the firefight.

"Ready!"

Gan Hui pulled out his sword on horseback and shouted.

Thousands of flintlock guns were raised at the same time.

The Jin troops opposite them did not hesitate to retreat and flee into Yicheng, and the Ming army continued to move forward and quickly set up cannons outside Yicheng, followed by Jiao Wenyu's troops landing on the shore. Although his subordinates were still arquebuses, the number of his artillery was not comparable to that of Gan Hui's light infantry, and a larger number of cannons were erected outside Yicheng. Then Gan Hui did not attack, but took his cavalry battalion around the city, leaving Jiao Wenyu in charge of the siege, while he and Yang Xin headed north to Xiangyang.

But there were no more obstacles along the way.

After all, Yicheng is not far from Xiangyang, Jin Shenghuan's defense is a frontier of Yicheng, and then add the super fortress of Xiangyang, he never thought that he could defeat Yang Qing in the field, his principle of self-preservation is only to use Xiangyang's easy defense and difficult attack and Yang Qing to strive for the maximum benefits.

Defeat Yang Qing?

Just kidding, what did he fight with?

Yang Qing can bury him alive with silver!

Gan Hui, who arrived in Xiangyang, went straight to the city gate.

Outside the city gate, they encountered Jin Shenghuan again.

"General Yang, General Gan, why are you in such a hurry?"

Jin Shenghuan, who already knew that this guy was surrounding Yicheng in the south, ignored the musketeers who were galloping behind them, and continued to keep his smile on his face with a responsible traitor's temperament, and said to the two of them.

"Deng Guogong, where is Your Majesty?"

Yang Xin said.

"Your Majesty? Isn't it in the Imperial Palace? Jin also just came back, and originally thought that His Majesty had set off for the south? Later, I learned that His Majesty's illness was repeated, so he hurriedly returned, did His Majesty have any accidents? The two generals don't need to worry, if there is really an accident, Jin is probably the first to know! ”

Jin Shenghuan said with a smile.

Yang Xin stared at him, but Jin Shenghuan really couldn't see anything abnormal on his face, and he exchanged glances with Gan Hui......

"Let's go!"

He said.

The two ignored Jin Shenghuan and rushed straight to the city gate with the cavalry, the soldiers guarding the gate looked at Jin Shenghuan with inquiring eyes, Jin Shenghuan waved his hand, so the soldiers guarding the gate stepped aside and let the cavalry rush into the city where they were stationed. Jin Shenghuan looked at the Ming cavalry galloping past him, with a strange smile on his face.

"Ma's, what an arrogance!"

A cronie beside him said indignantly.

Jin Shenghuan's subordinates also looked at these cavalry with indignant eyes, but many of them were envious, after all, the equipment of the Ming cavalry was gorgeous, and there were short spears hanging next to the saddle, and two straight knives. Although there was no armor on his body, his military uniform was made of multiple layers of silk, and he did not wear a helmet on his head, but he was replaced with a leather fan yang hat, and he wore leather riding boots on his feet. Although Jin Shenghuan's pro-soldier cavalry are also well-equipped, they are always a few points behind these people, not to mention anything else, the flintlock pistols next to the saddle are what they dare not imagine, they are at most one arquebus per person.

And in fact this is just the Ming army hussars.

The real cavalry elite of the Ming army was the heavy cavalry brigade under the cavalry army, and those cuirassiers who rode Hequ horses were the real iron cavalry.

This is actually a miscellaneous task done by the subordinates of the infantry brigade.

"Dashuai, let's ......"

The cronie said to Jin Shenghuan.

"Come along, no matter what happens, we have to serve the emperor first!"

Jin Shenghuan said.

Then he urged the horses to follow behind the Ming army, and soon these cavalry arrived at the palace in a field of chickens and dogs, at this time Gan Hui and the two had entered, Jin Shenghuan followed in, when he arrived at the emperor's bedroom, all the doors here were open, Gan Hui and Yang Xin were standing in front of the bedroom door of the Longxing Tianzi.

"Two generals, Your Majesty ......"

Jin Shenghuan walked behind them with a smile, but then the smile on his face froze.

"Deng Guogong, please tell the last general, where did you hide Your Majesty?"

Gan Hui turned his head and said with a sly smile.

The emperor is missing.

Jin Shenghuan looked at the empty dormitory in amazement......

"What about Your Majesty?"

He exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Then he kicked down the cronies who were in charge of serving the emperor next to him, and the latter also looked at the empty dormitory in confusion, and then fell at his feet and cried: "Dashuai, the little one really doesn't know, the little one was kicked out of the palace the day before yesterday, Qian Shangshu said that the little one is not doing things well, let the little one go back, and the little one will never be to the palace in the future, and the little one really doesn't know where His Majesty went!" ”

"You shit!"

Jin Shenghuan pulled out his knife in anger.

"Deng Guogong is angry!"

Yang Xin grabbed his wrist.

Jin Shenghuan's subordinates immediately stepped forward, and then several knives were on his neck, but at the same time, Gan Hui's short spear also resisted Jin Shenghuan's head.

"Bastard, don't put the knife away yet!"

Jin Shenghuan shouted.

"General Yang, Jin really doesn't know where His Majesty went, and Jin only came back today, but where His Majesty went, the Japanese slaves in this palace must know. Moreover, Jin's subordinates have not reported that His Majesty has left Xiangyang, maybe His Majesty is still in the city and just went out to inspect the people, so we might as well look for it calmly. Your Majesty is not alone, the King of Tang and the princes accompanying him are all following, and there will be no accidents. ”

He looked at Gan Yang and said.

Gan Hui and Yang Xin looked at each other, and then Gan Hui put away his short gun.

"Deng Guogong, the last general is also worried that His Majesty is reckless, Deng Guogong is not strange!"

Gan Hui said.

"We are all for Your Majesty!"

Jin Shenghuan said with a smile.

At this time, his subordinates had already begun to carry out a large-scale search in the palace, but the results of the search found nothing, not only the emperor was gone, but also the ministers who accompanied him were gone, only a few hundred Japanese slaves who had originally entered the city to follow were here. Of course, it was impossible for all the 5,000 Japanese slaves to be stationed in the city, in fact, there was only one battalion entering the city, and the remaining part was stationed outside the city, but the cavalry and the other part were stationed in Dongjin.

But it was useless to find these Japanese slaves, because these people did not know Chinese.

Jin Shenghuan then looked for his subordinates in the city.

The latter also did not know, but the search in the city was fruitless, but it was known that all the Japanese slaves stationed in Dongjin were missing, and according to the people nearby, they had been gone for three days.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Jin Shenghuan took a horsewhip and whipped his subordinates.

"What are you all doing to eat, Your Majesty and his entourage have so many people out of the city, you don't know, more than 2,000 people in Dongjin have walked for three days, you don't know if these Japanese slaves have kidnapped the holy car, what else can you do? Are you worthy of the emperor and worthy of the Duke of Chu? How can you let me have the face to see Chu Gong again! ”

He screamed in pain.

Gan Hui and Yang Xin next to him watched his performance speechlessly.

He doesn't know?

Hell yes!

The Son of Heaven of Longxing even the entourage of ministers added up to at least dozens of people, from this palace to the outer city of Xiangyang several gates, after going out to Dongjin you have to go to the garrison's ferry, it is too insulting to know that it is too insulting to IQ. Not to mention that the Japanese slave military camp is in Dongjin, and you can see it directly from this side of the Han River, so more than 2,000 people disappeared for three days and didn't know about it in Xiangyang City?

Are you guys being funny?

Jin Shenghuan suddenly turned his head, and then he hugged Yang Xin's shoulders all of a sudden......

"Brother Yang, I'm sorry for Duke Chu, these wastes are a big deal! Brother Yang, please tell Duke Chu that Jin is turning this land upside down, and he also wants to find His Majesty, and then ask Duke Chu for the guilt! ”

He said affectionately. ()
