The seriously ill Sheng Guo made Zong Zhensheng's heart become impatient, and in the evening, they finally went from Mt. Ontake to the outside of this valley called Shiigenyama.

The surrounding environment is still so calm, and the red sunset casts a layer of bright color on the sea in the distance and the mountains and forests nearby.

It's just that there is no longer the smoke of the past, and most of the fishermen who are not there have been arrested by the Ming army, and this place has become a no-man's land.

Shibukawa Yoshitoshi made a gesture, and most of them sat down quietly, and the nearly thirty-mile trek made everyone exhausted.

This is not a transfer of the flat road, they have to pass through the mountains and forests, and they must be careful not to leave traces, everyone is tired and exhausted.

Sheng Guo was still asleep at this time, and his face was still showing an unhealthy red.

"Sect Master, which two people do you want to send to inquire about the situation first?"

Zong Zhensheng looked at the loyal warriors around him and shook his head helplessly. Originally, in order to keep it secret, not many people knew about this base. Even if the stored materials are replaced every year, they are also the most trusted old men in the family.

And most of those people stayed in Ozakiura, and were killed in the anti-water blow of the Japanese Korko.

Now these are the reserve forces of the family, and they are basically unaware of the existence of this base.

He had forgotten that Man Zhen, who escaped today, had actually come to this base once.

Only he knew the place, and the child was seriously ill, so he could only say: "Send a scout to check the surrounding situation, there is nothing abnormal, let's go directly into the valley." ”

Shibukawa Yoshitoshi also knew that no one except him knew about this base, so he could only order it to go down and let everyone protect this lord.

Although he was a county guard sent by the shogunate, he was actually a peripheral member of the clan family. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Zong family to let an outsider act as a county guard and control the few samurai on the island.

As a high-ranking official, his fate was closely related to the Zong family, and there was no chance of surrender at all. Otherwise, he would never be close to half a hundred years old, still hiding everywhere, living such a precarious life.

Although three teams of scouts were sent out in a row, they had traveled dozens of miles to the mountains, and their physical strength had already been exhausted, and the scope of exploration was not large.

And the Ming army brigade that was waiting for the rabbit had a false alarm, and watched them wander around the mountainside for a while, and then went down to resume their lives.

In order to destroy all the enemies in one fell swoop, although these people entered the encirclement, Cheng Xu did not order an attack, he was waiting for these enemies to enter the encirclement deeper.

The moment they arrive at the cave will be the moment of the general assault.

At this time, Cheng Xu was extremely excited, although Zong Zhensheng was very different from the image now, but when he saw him with a child, he knew that he had really caught a big fish this time.

In order to capture Zong Zhensheng, information about him has been conveyed in detail to all pursuers. The last heir of the Zong family, including his seven-year-old child, has long been remembered by everyone.

As everyone entered the valley, Cheng Xu waved his hand, and the horse mark of the scout camp came to his side quickly. "Put the total ......"

"Bring down the tree on the left and attack according to the first plan."

Because the personnel were divided into three groups and the personnel were dispersed, the battle plan was determined from the beginning. The first plan was to divide the 100 musketeers into two groups, attack with 50 and spread out the other 50 to block the entire valley.

The rest of the men attacked at the same time, and the knockdown of the tree on the left was the signal to attack.

This battle plan is actually very crude and not detailed at all. However, after a long period of chasing and evasion, both sides are actually a little numb.

What's more, because of Sheng Guo's illness, only Zong Zhensheng knew about this cave, which caused them not to send someone to investigate the situation first.

So, when a big tree on the top of the mountain was brought down, the Yulin Guard outside surrounded Zong Zhensheng and them from two directions.

…… The crude plan turned into a perfect ambush.

On one side there were only eighty-three tired men, including a child, while on the other side there were three hundred strong soldiers and a hundred muskets.

The battle turned into a massacre, with no forgiveness, no mercy, just a deafening gunshot and the long knife stained red.

Panting and holding the embroidered spring knife that had a little collapsed, Yang Zhangde was still holding Zong Zhensheng's head in his hand, and he couldn't help laughing.

This time, he has worked this isolated island for more than a month, and it is completely worth it.

The rest of the people were also very excited, except for the death of two colleagues, which made a few soldiers close to them a little sad, but it did not affect the interest of most people.

"Chop off all the heads and go back to receive the merit."

Cheng Xu said in a low voice: "Yang Qianhu, although there are not many materials here, they are worth thousands of taels of silver......

Yang Zhangde shook his head and said with a smile: "Who does Cheng always want to sell to?" ”

Cheng Xu had nothing to say in a word. This is an island far from Daming, these materials are given to them, and they can't find a buyer.

Yang Zhangde patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you have a long-term vision...... a person has fifteen taels of silver, and there are several leaders, twenty-five taels each, these are more than a thousand taels of silver, which is not considered a military merit." And we also have 30% of the interception, which is also a few hundred taels of silver, why bother for those hundreds of taels, because of a small loss! ”

His purpose is to get promoted and make a fortune, and this little money is not what he cares about at all. If it weren't for the rules, he would have wanted to directly say that he wouldn't give the reward to the rest of them.

People in this era are not well educated, because they are ignorant and fearless.

One by one, they took out their knives and took off all the heads of all the people like pigs and sheep, and dipped them in lime to absorb water, so that the heads would not rot easily.

Others began to carry the food and medicinal herbs in the cave, as well as some gold and silver. After these things are handed in, they can still get 30%, in addition to military merits.

If they were fighting around the Ming Dynasty, they would still be able to find a home to receive these captures. But now, these things can only be honestly transported back to the temporary headquarters.

Yang Zhangde kept holding Zong Zhensheng's head and was reluctant to put it down.

He is deeply valued by his grandson, and he doesn't need to appreciate slowly like everyone else, the only thing that restricts his upward space is his real military exploits.

As long as he has military merits, his promotion is a matter of course.

Now that he has Zong Zhensheng's head, there is no obstacle to his promotion, but I don't know what position he can be promoted this time!

The pacification envoy should be able to guarantee it, but I don't know if he can be directly promoted to the commander of the servant, if this is the case, in the future, in front of Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying, he will no longer have to bow his head.

And thousands of miles away in Yingtianfu, there is frequent good news in the palace.

After Hu Liangdi became pregnant, the grandson concubine Sun Xian, as well as several good yuans and Chenghui, also came out with good news.

The crown princess Zhang has been happily closing her mouth every day for a while, and the first thing she does when she wakes up every day is to ask about Concubine Zhu Zhanji's menstrual records, and as long as there is a delay, she immediately calls the imperial doctor to check.

Because Concubine Taisun was pregnant, the affairs of Xingqing Palace were also arrested by the Zhang family, and Xue Shanggong assisted her in managing Xingqing Palace.

Although Sun Xian is reluctant to hold the power in her hands, she attaches more importance to the continuation of the heir, and only when she gives birth to the heir, her position as the concubine is stable.

Therefore, after she also enveloped Xue Shanggong for a while, she handed over the power in her hand, and she stayed in her own apse every day to raise the baby.

Six concubines are pregnant in a row, which is a good thing for the royal family, and it is also a reassuring pill for the entire Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhu Di Xuanzhao was imprisoned in Fengyang, "Wu Shu people", "Lu Shu people", and "Jianshu people" entered Beijing to see His Majesty.

As soon as this news came out, the people immediately boiled. Because this is an obvious signal, that is, Zhu Di is ready to forgive them.

The Wu Shu people and the Lu Shu people were both brothers of Emperor Jianwen, and the Jianshu people were the youngest sons of Emperor Jianwen. They were imprisoned in Fengyang, the central capital, and were not allowed to have contact with the outside world.

Now most people don't even know whether they are dead or alive, if Zhu Di wants to execute them, he will not publicize it at all, and now he preaches it and lets them enter Beijing, it will definitely be an amnesty.

This news also made the people's opinion of Zhu Di much softer, and Emperor Yongle was not only a warlike and brave emperor, but also had this pity and chivalrous tenderness.

This kind of folk rumors also made Zhu Di very happy, and every day he had Jinyiwei and the internal supervisor collect rumors from all over the place and read them to him.

The sensation caused by this incident also correspondingly diluted the discussion about the prince's illness and whether the grandson should personally wait and avoid it, which made Zhu Zhanji's pressure much less.

In fact, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji didn't care about these rumors, but if they can have a good reputation, who wants to be smeared?

Of course, it's not all good news, such as Qiu Changqing, who was concerned by Zhu Zhanji, has not been captured until now.

This proved that there was a force behind Qiu Changqing who was helping him cover, and although he did not catch him, Zhu Zhanji was not frustrated, because this had confirmed his guess.

In fact, not only him, Zhu Di knows what is going on better than him.

Although Qiu Changqing was not caught, according to the inventory of household registration, it was basically determined that when he entered the city, he was the identity of Yu Bao, a student of Fengyang.

And this Yu Bao is still in Fengyang, and he has not decided to take this subject.

When Jinyiwei's personnel traced down Fengyang County, Fengyang taught Wu Sijiu and the county commander Su Hong, but before Jinyiwei came to the door, he committed suicide in fear of crime.

This also made Zhu Di extremely annoyed, and ordered the relatives of the two to be arrested, and all of them were charged for 3,000 miles.

In terms of playing tricks, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di are not comparable at all. After all, he is a mature soul crossing through and has been influenced by his previous life, and his psychological understanding of the characters of this era is still separated by a layer.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a grandson, he might have to adapt to the environment and adapt to this era.

But because he was born as a grandson, he didn't have to accommodate anyone at all, he only needed others to accommodate him. So he hasn't changed much, which also makes him seem a little out of place in this era.

And Zhu Di is born in playing power, he has a keen sense of everything that happens, and can decompose the causes and consequences in detail and make reasonable treatments.

A county order, a teaching, how can a Qin prisoner be issued a guide? Of course, there are people behind this!

And who is the beneficiary of this matter, there is no need for any evidence at all to make Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji affirm.

They are not judges, and they don't need to talk about evidence. They are supreme leaders who only need to identify a few basic development points for the whole thing to be convicted.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji will not act, he is a junior after all. The last time he dealt with Zhu Gaoxu, he had already been warned, and this time, no matter how big the grievances were, he couldn't vent them.

Of course, Zhu Di will not move, because after all, it is his son, the son who has made great contributions to him.

However, since Zhu Gaoxu can't move, it doesn't mean that a county decree and an edict can calm their anger.

Zhu Di personally ordered the Guangdong Navy to dispatch two lucky boats to Qiongzhou Mansion to escort all the 316 relatives of the Qiu family to Yingtianfu.

He deliberately conveyed this holy decree through the water master, through Zhu Zhanji's hand. This is also telling Zhu Zhanji, your grandfather has already vented his anger for you, so don't do it again.

In fact, Zhu Zhanji didn't want to deal with Zhu Gaoxu at all, although he didn't know enough about the psychology of people in this era. But he also knows history and knows that such an "elder" will either be beaten to death with a stick or leave him alone.

Otherwise, if you suppress it today, you will suppress it tomorrow, and it will always have an impact on his reputation.

Zhu Zhanji is not worried about this ambitious and talented second uncle at all, let him jump, one day, seize the opportunity, and settle the new and old accounts together.

As for Qiu Changqing, who didn't catch it, in fact, he didn't put it in his eyes at all, he was just a dog of the King of Han, no matter how ruthless and capable he was, in front of the entire state machine, it was not enough to see at all.

Now is not a troubled time, not an era when a postman can overthrow a dynasty, and it is impossible for him Qiu Changqing to set off big waves.

Zhu Zhanji wanted to know what his expression would be when his family of 316 was all arrested in the capital and beheaded because of him!

He wants to fight with himself, and he doesn't want to think about it at all, does he have the qualifications?

You want to play conspiracy and think you can't get hold of the evidence. But he didn't know that the emperor didn't need evidence at all, and he could punish a person based on his likes and dislikes.

Although the Qiu family is also the Duke of Qi, it is impossible for the whole family to be killed, because this will make other nobles lose their lips and teeth, and it is impossible for Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji to offend a class because of their family.

But if they want to be sentenced from Hainan Island to eat sand on the grasslands in the north, no one will speak for them.

In this era, going against the imperial power is the greatest sin!

From the warm Qiongzhou sentence to the bitter cold Mobei, they are also asking for their own hardships, and they will not arouse any mercy from the nobles.

(On the last day of this month, 206,000 words were completed this month, which is a bit ashamed of the majority of book friends.) The main reason is that in the second half of the month, the living conditions suddenly changed greatly, which affected the creation. There are other things next month, I try to update to more than 150,000, and August must be more than June.

In addition, at present, I still owe two chapters to the brothers who shook their heads, three chapters to the Hu Yansheng brothers, and two more chapters to the monthly pass, only one chapter, and now I owe a total of six chapters, and I will pay it back slowly...... ）
