Xu Hai repeated it again, compared with the previous times, this time it seemed reasonable, because he was ...... by the government To be precise, he was deceived by silence.

Of course, the more important reason is that now that he has reconciled with Ye Ma and incorporated his troops, his waist will naturally harden again, even if he wants to surrender, he has to reopen a good price! For example, after the past, how to change the level, whether the length of service is counted, what to do with the placement fee of the brothers, whether the children's employment will be managed in the future, and so on, a series of questions that were not dared to be asked in the past can finally be put on the table for discussion.

As the sage said, 'The greater the capital, the more you want'...... But what answered them was a joint attack launched by Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou! It's not an ambush, it's not a city defense, it's not a water battle, it's just a land battle that the Japanese are best at, attacking against attacking!

Through a series of meticulous plans, Shen Mo did everything possible to weaken Xu Hai's side, and on the other hand, he strengthened the strength of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, and finally at this moment, on April 18, the 37th year of Jiajing, he completed the reversal of strength.

The strong, the weak are in transposition, and the silence finally shows his fangs and claws!

But when they saw Lord Shen use unpredictable wisdom and meticulous and complicated tactics to play Xu Hai and others between applause, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang felt more shame in addition to the admiration of the five bodies.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou and their subordinates, they have been waiting for this day for too long! In fact, they have been suffering in humiliation all along, being ridiculed by true and false Japanese robbers, being blamed by the government and the court, and the common people have no hope for them...... At this age of war, there are very few people who are willing to be soldiers and are still serving as soldiers at this moment.

The anger was raging, and the officers and soldiers who were eager to wash away their notoriety were getting stronger, but they were firmly held down by silence, and they were not allowed to act rashly, like springs, which had been pressed to the fullest. At this moment, it was finally released, and the energy that burst out was naturally amazing!

The soldiers were like tigers out of the gate, frantically attacking the crazy enemy, and completely relying on a bloody and brave spirit, they leveled Xu Hai's entire right flank!

An hour later, the results came out - a great victory for the Ming army! Brutally ate Xu Hai's flanks, killing and wounding more than 600 people...... You must know that Xu Hai's subordinates are all hardcore widows, the elite of the elite!

This result made Xu Hai have to recognize the reality, although there are objective reasons such as underestimating the enemy and fatigue, he also has to admit that he no longer has an advantage in terms of troops, morale, or combat ability...... In the big tent, he said to Ye Ma dejectedly: "Even the last advantage is gone......

Ye Ma nodded, and said astringently: "Although I expected it, I didn't expect that the Ming army would actually attack us and have an advantage......

The two fell into a long silence, and they finally realized that even if they were the omnipotent Sun Dasheng, silence was also a Buddha with boundless power, and no matter how much they moved, they couldn't escape his grasp! This terrible opponent has already held them in the palm of his hand and has no choice but to surrender...... Ye Ma said dejectedly: "General, let's surrender......"

The green tendons in Xu Hai's head jumped suddenly, he pursed his lips tightly, and didn't say a word.

Ye Ma sighed and persuaded: "Actually, recently, I have been thinking about one thing, but this idea is looming, and I am afraid that saying it will shake the heart of the army, so I have never told others." ”

Xu Hai looked at him and said softly, "Speak." ”

"I think there is really no future in our industry." Ye Ma said softly: "Why is it more and more difficult for us to do it now?" It seems that you and I have fallen into the silent 'anti-intrigue scheme', but in the final analysis, it is because of the general trend...... The general trend determines luck! If you follow the trend, the wind and water will rise; On the contrary, it is not going well everywhere, and it is said to gradually wither. ”

"That's right," Xu Hai sneered, "I think you're scared." ”

"Actually, it's not mysterious at all." Ye Ma said in a deep voice: "I'll give you an analysis of the current situation, you think about it yourself, first of all, we are a group of pirates, who used to fight robbery and fight with the local government, which is quite relaxed." Who wants to play big now, and has become a big trouble for the imperial court, and it is said that the degree of attention to us has surpassed that of Mongolia and ranked first. ”

"In the past few years, I have the feeling that the officers and soldiers are fighting more and more, and the more they fight, the stronger they are, but our livelihood is becoming more and more difficult day by day." Ye Ma sighed and said: "In the final analysis, we are just a group of pirates after all, and we don't have any ambition to be the king, we only know how to kill and rob and make our reputation smelly." Serious people are ashamed to be with us, so we can't go further, and we will not be the opponent of the court for a long time. ”

"Look at the old ship owner again, the pinnacle of our industry, it is said that he has so many warships, soldiers, and occupies the thirty-six islands of the book, he should not be afraid of the imperial court, but he is just as sad." Ye Ma said: "Shimazu Takahisa has already started the Osumi unification battle, when he wins, he will definitely not tolerate the side of the couch, and the old shipowner is the king, the friction has already occurred, just wait for the final outbreak ......"

"What you said is too mysterious," Xu Hai disagreed: "Don't talk about the strength of the old shipowner himself, just say how many powerful clans flatter him?" Shimazu Takahisa is the unification of Osumi, and he does not dare to offend the old shipowner! ”

"If the old shipowner thinks the same way as you, then he is not far from ruin." Ye Ma sneered: "Why do they flatter the old ship owner, it's not because he is strong, but because he monopolizes the trade of Yuben, and the war materials such as arms and weapons all depend on his old man, so they don't dare to offend!" Saying that, he sighed and said: "But now that the sea ban has been opened, the Benqiang clan can do business with the imperial court, and they can buy Western weapons through brokers, and their dependence on the old ship owner is greatly reduced, so they don't have to buy him." ”

"Are you saying that the old shipowner's diligent pursuit of the 'ban on opening the sea' has deprived him of the foundation of his life?" Xu Hai's eyes widened.

"It's not just the old shipowner, it's us. Now that the city has it, there is the protection of military ships, and the auction of political axes, the tax is not high, the profit is much more than smuggling, and it is safe and secure, who wants to smuggle? Those maritime merchants from Fujian and Zhejiang, who had been in contact with us, were busy cutting off relations with us and throwing themselves into the arms of the government. He even betrayed us in order to get leniency. Ye Ma smiled bitterly and said: "Look at Lu Ji, who used to be extremely beautiful, now he is like a lost dog, and he has to rely on us to protect him, you know that the world has really changed...... It is precisely because of the lack of cover and intelligence of those people that we have become deaf and blind, and have been played by the officials and soldiers. ”

After Ye Ma finished speaking, Xu Hai didn't make a sound at all. Ye Ma thought something was wrong with him, and called softly a few times, Xu Hai came back to his senses, sighed desolately, slowly got up with the back of the chair, and said softly: "I'll go to the back for a while......" Without waiting for Ye Ma to nod, he slowly walked back.

It's just that the straight waist pole is a little rickety at the moment...... Xu Hai went to find Wang Cuiqiao, and at this time he needed his wife.

At this time, Wang Cuiqiao was stroking the piano, the sound of the piano was leisurely, and the music was tactful, as if a beauty was talking. He couldn't help but stop his feet, stood at the mouth of the tent, and quietly listened to his wife play the harp. Strange to say, he listened to Cui Qiao stroke the piano a lot of times, but when he listened to it before, his muscular brain couldn't stand the beautiful rhythm at all. In his opinion, playing the piano is actually similar to playing cotton, but the strings are more pointed, the length and the changes in height are more complicated, where can it compare to his wife's smile, or even an inch of skin? It's really tasteless, it's pure torture.

But today is very different from the past, he found that he can actually listen to it, although he doesn't know what to play, but the gripping melody, so that his mood with ups and downs, in front of him is a high autumn air, the wind is calm and flat, the clouds are thousands of miles, the sky is flying, it is he who suddenly forgot his troubles, immersed in this beautiful artistic conception can not extricate himself...... At this time, I heard Wang Cuiqiao lightly open her lips and sing: "The flat sand and water clouds are like light smoke and miserable slanting." Autumn and winter are coming, the reeds are chaotic, and the lonely geese are separated. The sound of the piano changed tone here, and the picture in front of Xu Hai's eyes became cold.

I only heard Cui Qiao sing again: "Take the moon and the stars, and go south to mourn." Thousands of miles of Hengyang, reed flowers, willow banks, drifting in a foreign land. Xiang Pu Jia Shui Ting, Han Guling. Drinking and pecking, the previous life is determined, looking at the cold north, and each side is in tears...... "Like a lonely goose, falling behind and screaming, falling on the water Ting, lonely and helpless; Just like his current state of mind, it is extremely desolate and helpless.

Hearing this, Xu Hai burst into tears.

But after crying and complaining, the sound of the piano suddenly became sonorous and powerful, and the melody also rose and fell, like the wind sweeping the yellow sand, the hooves spread their wings and roared, soaring, flapping their wings in the clear sky, leading the neck to sing, and then listening to Cuiqiao's singing voice gradually rising: "The spring breeze comes from the south, the water ripples, the wild geese return to the north, and they fly." The spring breeze comes from the south, and the ichthyosaur changes and dives into the abyss. The wild goose returned to the north, and Luan Feng and Ming went to nine days. Diving into the abyss, the abyss changes in the abyss; Nine days, nine days, nine days, nine days! The sky and the sea are separated by tens of thousands, and it is said that the bottom of the sea sinks and ascends to the sky! ”

It turns out that Dayan has not lost his ambition! Instead, he licked and healed his wounds, plumped his wings again, and finally made another blockbuster, spread his wings and fly high, soaring in the blue sky, and became the existence that everyone looked up to again!

His ambition and pride made Xu Hai ashamed...... At this time, the melody gradually softened and became extremely lyrical, and Cui Qiao no longer sang, but looked at Xu Hai with infinite tenderness, just like a female goose waiting for her partner, willing to live and die with it, and fly with wings...... It turns out that he is not alone...... After listening to the qin, Xu Hai has understood what his wife wants to say, she hopes that she will not be decadent because of a temporary setback, and she will learn from the wild goose not to give up in pain, there is always a chance to show her ambitions, and she is willing to be a dedicated female goose, with a long companion, never separated.

If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? If you have a wife like this, you have nothing else to ask for!

Xu Hai looked at his wife excitedly and hissed: "Cui Qiao, with you in this life, I Xu Hai will die without regrets." ”

Wang Cuiqiao withdrew her hands and smiled softly at him: "You honor me, you humiliate me; You give birth to me, you die and I die......"

Xu Hai only felt a burst of blood boiling in his chest, and said with tears in his eyes: "Cuiqiao......"

After a short period of warmth, Xu Hai asked his wife what she was thinking now.

"Again, no matter what you decide, I will always support you." Wang Cuiqiao said softly.

"Hey," Xu Hai sighed and said: "Originally, I always wanted to fulfill your wish and accept the court's recruitment, even if I was under the rule of the government, I would be a obedient citizen and be able to live with you for the rest of my life, I would be satisfied." ”

"And now?" Wang Cuiqiao said softly.

"Now?" Xu Hai said hatefully: "Who knows that Shen Mo didn't have a good heart from the beginning, played me around, and lured the people around me to rebel, can you believe the words of this kind of person!" If we really passed it, we would die without a place to bury! ”

"In fact, the two armies are at war and do everything they can, which is understandable." Wang Cuiqiao said softly: "The important thing is that the promise made by Lord Shen on behalf of the imperial court will not count?" ”

Xu Hai was stunned for a moment, as soon as he found out that he had been fooled, he lost trust in Shen Mo, but remembering the promise of 'the governor is surrendered and the holy decree is sealed', if Hu Zongxian and the holy decree really arrive, are you afraid that he will not regret it?

Xu Hai couldn't help but feel moved, but when he thought of someone, he hated and said: "He seduced my relatives into rebellion, how can this battle be counted?" ”

"You said Liangshan and Lianxin?" Wang Cuiqiao asked softly.

"Yes, it is difficult to prevent night guards and house thieves." Xu Hai nodded and said, "If it weren't for the two of them turning against the water, would I have been played so badly?" ”

Wang Cuiqiao shook his head lightly and said, "Actually, before Lianxin left, they told me everything, they didn't betray you......"

"What's that?" Xu Hai said in a deep voice.

"Let me tell you, that 'Liangshan' is actually Jiangxi hero He Xinyin." Wang Cuiqiao said softly: "He is jealous and hateful, and he deeply hates the harm of the Japanese and the Japanese, and vows to assist the imperial court in eliminating the troubles; My sister married a dog with a dog, and she also had a mind with him, so the two of them took the initiative to ask Ying to come to you undercover.? ”

"He Xinyin?" He Daxia's reputation is very big, Xu Hai still has heard of this name, and he can't help but suddenly: "No wonder I haven't heard his name in the past few years, it turned out that he came to me." ”

"Yes." Cui Qiao nodded and said: "People's minds have never wavered, how can we talk about betrayal?" It's just that we've fallen for someone else's counter-plot. ”

"Aren't you angry that they lied to you?" Xu Hai's eyes widened.

"I was very angry at first," Cui Qiao chuckled softly, "But when Lianxin told me something, I wasn't angry at all." ”

"What?" Xu Hai asked.

"She said that the two of them have completed their mission as spies, and the next step is to fulfill the responsibilities of sister and brother-in-law and do their best to help us through this difficult time." Cui Qiao chuckled softly.

"Do you believe that?" Xu Haidao.

"I believe it," Cui Qiao smiled, "You think, they can hold me hostage, leave here together, and then threaten you to surrender, but because they are afraid of me and the child, they don't do this, are they already on our side?" ”

"You......" Xu Hai stroked her hair dotingly and said, "It's too good, even better than a Bodhisattva." ”

"Sins and sins, don't talk nonsense." Cui Qiao hurriedly folded his hands, but couldn't help but smile and said: "If I am a Bodhisattva, then you are my Dharma Protector Vajra, right, Mingshan Great Monk ......"

"Okay, you dare to make fun of me!" Xu Hai laughed loudly, making a gesture to tickle her, and the couple laughed together, throwing their sorrows out of the clouds...... The next day, Xu Hai, the general of Chatian Pinghai, who was as famous as Wang Zhi, announced to the world: unconditionally surrender to the government, unconditionally accept the reorganization of the government, and wait for the court to dispose of it...... The news soon spread all over the world, and the people of the southeast celebrated with whips, which was even more festive than the New Year; However, there is a way that a few families are happy and a few are sad, and it has always been the surrender of the Xu Yexin faction, which has the strongest combat effectiveness among the Japanese invaders, and the shock to the entire Japanese world is no less than the great earthquake the year before last, which made all the Japanese invaders scattered, and almost at the same time withdrew to the island, and the flag died down, losing the courage to confront the government, and the southeastern land, which had been in turmoil for a long time, actually ushered in peace again...... Although I don't know how long it will last, for the common people, it is a gift from God to be able to enjoy one more moment of stability.

When the news reached Hu Zongxian and reached the capital, everyone was in disbelief, Hu Zongxian was dumbfounded, and he couldn't imagine that Shen Mo could really do it; Xu Ge Lao was silent, and then wrote to his family, absolutely not to be able to get along with Shen Mo, this guy is too dangerous; Yan Ge Lao glared at the faint old eyes, ordered someone to tell the story in detail, and then sighed desolately, his reputation as the first thick black master of the Ming Dynasty could only be made virtuous after that.

And we, Emperor Jiajing, retreated to thank the sky when he heard the news, but under the agitation of the Dao heart, he kept laughing and laughing, which made Li Fang and Chen Hong outside the palace feel terrified, and said in his heart that he would not go crazy, right?
