While sipping tea to ease the awkward atmosphere, Zheng Chenggong moved the picture painted by Zhu Qing and looked at it, feeling familiar, but he felt a little different, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Huh? Qinglong, looking at the markings above, it seems to be a topographic map? Zheng Chenggong wondered.

Zheng Chenggong's words immediately attracted others to watch.

Zhu Qing smiled slightly and nodded, "That's right, this is the map of China!" Do you see, like a rooster? It turned out that Zhu Qing's impression was a map of China in the 21st century, and I thought that everyone would be impressed. But when he saw the stunned expressions on the faces of Zheng Chenggong and the others, he felt that something was wrong.

"Map of China? Are you saying that this is our Ming Empire? Zheng Chenggong couldn't believe it.

Zhu Qing nodded, "Is there any problem?" Zhu Qing thought that his painting technique was too clumsy, so he sneered, "I'm a bit ugly, but this can almost help us solve the problem." "Zhu Qing regrets it now, from south to north, from east to west, he has fought so many battles, why did he only think of painting this picture now?

"I've seen Westerners seem to have drawn similar pictures, but it's still a little different from yours." Zheng Chenggong muttered, he finally remembered where he had seen a similar map, from the hands of some Westerners.

"I remember that the prairie north of Helan Mountain has always been under the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty, and I went hunting with my master last year, why didn't I paint it here? Also, these labels of Korea, Japan or something should be Goryeo and Wako, right? But as far as I know, they should be vassals of the Empire......" Heisha looked at it carefully for a while, pointed to a few obvious differences in the map mountain, and wondered.

Zhu Qing only reacted at this time, it turned out that it was not his painting skills, but that this map was indeed a lot different from the actual situation of the Ming Empire. But how to explain it? You can't tell them that this is the map of China in a few hundred years, right?

"Oh, this...... I mainly drew the destination of our mission this time, which is the southwest area, and the ones drawn on the map are all places where our Ming activities are more frequent, which must be helpful for our various actions in the future. Zhu Qing's explanation was unsatisfactory, and Zheng Chenggong and the others nodded after hearing it. Now is not the time for them to dwell on a map, for them, it's just a map, a symbol. As long as the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty goes, it should be the territory of the Ming Dynasty! That's what they have in mind.

"I didn't expect that the distance from Yangzhou to the capital is about the same as that to Sichuan? In that case, we still have some time to go. Chen Yuanyuan has never been to Sichuan, but the capital has been, judging from the map drawn by Zhu Qing, the distance on the map is indeed close, which makes Chen Yuanyuan have a general concept of distance in his heart.

"It turns out that the empire is so big, even the capital is only a little!" Ah Jiu couldn't help but sigh, although she was forced to flee the palace since she was a child, she had the impression that the palace was already very big!

Zheng Chenggong laughed at himself after hearing this, "What's this, look at us, it turns out that the treasure island that our Zheng family is proud of is just a small circle." ”

"Zhu Qing's painting skills are clumsy, you don't have to be serious, no matter how big or small, it is my Chinese territory, and you must be loyal to guard!" Zhu Qing was worried that this picture would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and arguments, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

"Those who offend my heavenly might, although far away, will be punished!" Heisha said indignantly, this is the precept of killing the wind, killing the wind rarely educates others, but this sentence, Heisha remembers the most truly, this may be an important pillar for the killing wind to survive when the Ming Dynasty and Jinyi Wei were in turmoil.

"That's right, so now that Wu Sangui and Xu Dingguo are invading Yunguichuan, we can't tolerate it. Let's take a look, on the map of Qinglong, the territory under the jurisdiction of Yunguichuan is not small, and it dominates one side by one, it seems that the enemy we are facing this time should not be underestimated. Zheng Chenggong pointed to the southwest area of Map Mountain, not without worry.

Although Zhu Qing and others all know that Wu Sangui and Xu Dingguo and others are all generals of the defeated army, judging from the current situation, they have taken root in the southwest, and they can make trouble in the local area and ignore the imperial court decrees, which shows that the southwest is already a land of dragons and snakes, and Wu Sangui and Xu Dingguo, these dragons who cross the river, categorically collude with the local underworld forces.

"What Brother Zheng said is extremely true. What we are facing now is not just the forces of Xu Dingguo's side in Sichuan. Even the surrounding Yunnan, Guizhou, and even Huguang may pose a threat to us, especially the Tusi forces in these places, which are not simple. If it had been shelved earlier, the displaced people in Shaanxi would have been quite terrible. Zhu Qing pointed to the map and analyzed, Tusi in the southwest, and the displaced people in Shaanxi can go to Sichuan to stir up the situation, and now the displaced people in Shaanxi have become the invading army, and the invading army has returned to the imperial court, so the pressure in the north is much smaller than that in the south.

"Henan and Shaanxi are now under the control of the imperial court, Xu Dingguo and they won't kill another horse gun, right?" Ah Jiu asked undoubtedly.

Zhu Qing shook his head, "It's hard to say. These places are safe for us now, but dangerous for them. ”

"The more dangerous the place, the safer!" Hei Sha looked at Zhu Qing and said.

Zhu Qing nodded, "We understand this truth, and they must not be stupid to Xu Dingguo." ”

"But I always feel that Xu Dingguo is killing back, it's too risky, even if they can kill back, how can they jump back there? It is surrounded by imperial court forces, and it is cut off from Wu Sangui, which is tantamount to seeking a dead end. Zheng Chenggong put forward a different opinion.

When they heard this, they felt justified.

Zhu Qing smiled, "Xu Dingguo will definitely not go back, but ......" Zhu Qing suddenly stopped the smile on his face and pointed to the map, "Don't forget, the mastermind behind all this is not Xu Dingguo, or even Wu Sangui, but the lady of Dongying who said that Miss Ah Jiu said!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked and thoughtful.

"Except for the information that Ah Jiu girl has learned, it can be said that we know very little about the Dongying Society, and everyone should know very well from the forces it controls, it is definitely not an ordinary force, and for such a huge force, why don't you do it in Chengdu, but choose Zigong?" Zhu Qing continued.

"Hide people's eyes and ears, divert their eyes." The reason why Heisha was able to become Zhu Qing's senior brother was indeed terrifying when he calmed down.

Zhu Qing nodded, "Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Prefecture, if you want to cause trouble and demonstrate the imperial court, then Chengdu should be the best choice." However, they avoided Chengdu and chose Zigong, in addition to the Zigong trading house, there should be another purpose. ”

"Their lair is in Chengdu!" Hei Sha made a bold guess, but this guess made everyone stunned for a moment, because judging from Zhu Qing's analysis, this guess was the most consistent.

Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth and cast an approving glance at Hei Sha. In addition to the above factors, there is another imagination that is easy to be overlooked, that is, land reform.

The land reform was implemented in Sichuan, but Chengdu, the country of abundance, had little effect, but Zigong and other places achieved initial results under the vigorous promotion of Chen Jiujin and others. This is not all caused by natural disasters, but also man-made obstacles, and the implementation of land reform before Xu Dingguo could not escape, indicating that Chengdu was already controlled by unknown forces before Xu Dingguo's rebellion. But knowing that now, Sichuan has only been valued by the imperial court because of Xu Dingguo's rebellion and trouble, and all this is so smoothly pushed by the boat, but in Zhu Qing's view, it is manipulated. So his original purpose was to enter Zigong directly and find Chen Jiujin to understand the situation first, but this day and night of thinking made him always feel that something was wrong.

It wasn't until he drew a map that he became more and more convinced that there must be something wrong with Chengdu!

"However, unless your Jinyi Guards have infiltrated Chengdu, we don't know anything about the hostility in Chengdu." Zheng Chenggong found a problem at this time, but the problem was quickly solved by Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing shook his head and smiled slightly, "Our infiltration in Chengdu was really not enough before, but soon we will know something about Chengdu." I've sent help. Zhu Qing said with confidence.

"Xuanfeng?" Blacksa asked.

"The pigeon?" Chen Yuanyuan suddenly exclaimed.

Zhu Qing nodded.

Ah Jiu seemed to feel a little unbelievable after hearing this, "Just a pigeon? ”

Hei Sha glanced at Ah Jiu and explained, "Xuanfeng is a carrier pigeon dedicated to Xuanwu. And the people understood.

"So, your intelligence is not to let Xuanwu join us, but to ......," Zheng Chenggong said tentatively.

Zhu Qing nodded, "The reason why I hid it from you during the day is that my ears are really listening to us, but ......" Saying, Zhu Qing's eyes couldn't help but slanted to the door, and a knife flew out along Zhu Qing's line of sight, and the knife came out through the door panel, only to hear a muffled scream outside the door, and blood seeped in from the crack of the knife.

Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but hide beside Zhu Qing.

"Now, he can't hear it anymore......" Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, gently protected Chen Yuanyuan, glanced at Zheng Chenggong, and finished speaking.
