Lian Zining sneered: "What crime do you know? ”

"Under the mark, the flag is not strict, resulting in the ...... of adults" Wang Hu didn't dare to say any more, for the sake of Lian Zining's face.

"I'm not angry because of this, my strength is not so small, I have added a blockage in my heart, and I killed the person who blocked you, why should I be angry with you?" Lian Zining's voice suddenly increased, and he said angrily: "Do you know how long Lao Tzu delayed that guy?" If I hadn't met someone who knew me, how long would it take me to come in, do you know? If Qinglan and their situation is critical and they want to flee for their lives here, but they encounter such a thing, you say, what should I do? ”

Only then did Wang Hu know what Lian Zining's anger was, he was sweating profusely, and when he imagined that scene, his heart was also cold, and he said continuously: "Damn it, damn it!" ”

Lian Zining stepped forward and kicked Wang Hu's chest fiercely, and said angrily: "Of course you deserve to die!" ”

kicked this kick hard, but Wang Hu was not afraid of rejoicing, because he knew that his life was saved.

"Don't get out yet!" Lian Zining kicked again, Wang Hu hurriedly turned over and got up, this majestic steward in front of outsiders, in front of Lian Zining, he was like a primary school student who made a mistake. I was trembling, and I didn't dare to breathe.

"I ask you, what are you doing here?"

"Give your family in Beijing to take care of, plus, earn some scattered silver." Wang Hu replied cautiously.

"And what did you do?" Lian Zining sneered.

"I have already spent a lot of money on two thousand-mile ships, and the ships are extremely fast and pull up the sails. It can run two or three hundred miles in an hour, even if there is no sail. In the bottom of the silo below, there were sixty porters stepping on wheels. The speed is also extremely fast, and there are iron plates on both sides, the bow and crossbow cannot penetrate, and there are pointed ends, and the average ship will sink when he hits it. Wang Hu paused and said: "The bid has also bought the Haihe River inspection, and the inspector is not big, but the ships coming and going in the Haihe River are subject to his interrogation, and the critical moment." It can also be of great use, marked at the port, always prepared with a large sea ship, ready to set sail at any time, extremely fast. ”

"That's pretty much it." Lian Zining's face turned a little pale, and said, "How to deal with this matter, you know?" ”

"Marked, understood." Wang Hu flashed a trace of ruthlessness: "The shopkeeper left his post without permission, and the guy dared to speak disrespectfully to you." You have to die. ”

"And what is that Liu Ye." A trace of regret and determination flashed in Lian Zining's eyes: "Although he is a member of our Wu Yi Army, but I look at him, I am afraid that he has forgotten his identity, so he has only been here for a while." took a concubine. And I'm afraid it's not the first time that the shopkeeper has done this, can't he see it? Remember. I didn't send you here to play. It was to carry out military affairs and delay military affairs. It is necessary to enforce military law! Military law is ruthless, you know? ”

Wang Hu shuddered and took a deep breath: "I understand the mark." ”

He took the order and left, and after a while, Qing Lan came up and asked, "What's the matter, it seems that I saw you having a dispute with someone." ”

Lian Zining waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not good to talk to you about this." ”

Qinglan just didn't ask anymore.

Shaoqing Wang Hu strode back, with an unconcealable bloody aura on his body, and said in a low voice: "The three people, just in case, as well as their families, are all killed." Taking advantage of this opportunity, the good students were reorganized, and no one dared to leave their posts without permission. ”

Lian Zining nodded and said, "Look clearly, if she comes in the future, all orders will be equivalent to this official." ”

Wang Hu replied yes and saluted: "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

Qing Lan bowed slightly and gave a salute.

After saying a few more words, Wang Hu said: "My lord, I recently got a message under the mark, and I think it will be of some use to you." ”

"Speak."

"Yes." Wang Hu said: "This time the fleet went to Feiqian Port, but they heard a news in Feiqian Port, saying that some time ago, around the Chinese New Year, there was a Western pirate ship parked in Feiqian Port, I heard that because of the trouble on the shore and killed people, a whole ship of people let Chen Yu Chen Qianhu make dumplings, and the big ship was also seized. Then I waited for more than ten days, but it was the big Western ship that went to sea with more than a dozen big ships under the flag of the Tachibana family and headed north. There is a well-informed letter that says that the Tachibana family has taken out the chart of the Western Ocean, and following the chart, you can go all the way north, enter the Whale Sea, reach Kuyi Island, and then enter the mouth of the Songhua River. It is said that it is the destination of the fleet, but it is along the river and arrives at our town! ”

"What?" Hearing this news, even Zining was discolored.

The western ocean, which is now the Sea of Japan, is named because of the vast and boundless west of Fuso, and the west side of the ocean is Goguryeo in the south, and the general Asujiang of the Daming Nuer Gandu Division is in the north, and then to the north, it is the mouth of the Songhua River.

Lian Zining's mind immediately appeared with a three-dimensional map centered on the western ocean, including Northeast China, Goguryeo, and Fuso, and he suddenly found that his thinking seemed to have fallen into a great misunderstanding.

Limited to the thinking of this era, he has always subconsciously felt that it seems that there is only one road by land from the northeast to the south, but at this time, he suddenly discovered that after he unified the lower reaches of the Songhua River, he could even take a big boat directly down the Songhua River, and then take the sea route to Liaodong, North Korea, Fusang, Tianjin, or even directly south to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Moreover, the sea route is not only fast and has a large carrying capacity, but also is a good cultivation for soldiers.

All that's needed is a huge fleet.

Lian Zining is already like an arrow.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Just when Lian Zining was strategizing in Beijing and seeking benefits, the war in the area under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei was also in full swing.

Tunhewei is seventy miles to the south.

Linghe Fort.

This was originally a fortress, and to the east was the mighty Towin River, where it made a small bend, which would be found on a map with high multiples. The bend is not big, it is like a trembling hand while drawing a straight line. The result is a small bump in the line. And in this vast land, it is a big bend that is more than 20 miles long. The Towin River has changed from northeast to southwest to northwest and southeast. Linghe Fort is located just around the corner, and it is also the highest bulge of this big bend.

This is a naturally formed high hill, more than 50 meters higher than the flat land, and more than 70 meters higher than the river below, which can be said to be the commanding height within dozens of miles nearby, and on the east bank of this section of the Tuowen River, in the vast expanse of grassland, there are at least five wild Jurchen tribes. It was the officers and soldiers who set up the Linghe Fort here as a deterrent.

The Linghe Fort was stationed in the garrison of a thousand households. Because the castle city is high and deep, the terrain is dangerous, it is very easy to defend and difficult to attack, so although there is only one defender of a thousand households, it may not be able to fight even if it is ten times the strength of the army to besiege and attack.

But at this moment, Linghe Fort, which is regarded as a fortress, has fallen into a frenzy.

The vermilion dragon flag on the city wall is already crooked, and some of them have burned several big holes. A few dirty footprints were stepped on it, stained with muddy water.

Instead, there are some cyan bases with a snow-white lotus flower flag embroidered on the front. Obviously, the whole world dares to raise this banner. There is only the White Lotus Sect.

Outside the city, numerous shacks were built. It stretched for more than ten miles, and I don't know how many White Lotus Sect disciples there were. I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands.

There was a commotion in the city, and due to the warmth of early spring, a large amount of snow began to melt, and the city was now muddy and full of mud.

The White Lotus Sect members who were dressed in tatters and ragged clothes could be seen everywhere, and there were many corpses with different heads on the ground, which were dressed as Ming soldiers, and blood flowed everywhere, staining the mud red.

At this time, it was already time for lunch, and there were cauldrons everywhere, and white gas coming out of the cauldrons, but there seemed to be no dry goods in them. The members of the White Lotus Sect ate in small groups according to their respective senior brothers, senior brothers, but in their bowls, there was a thin noodle soup, and even many of them had noodles and vegetables, obviously they had been hungry for a few days.

In the former yamen of the thousand households, it was a different situation.

In the lobby of the yamen, it is very lively.

The large case made of fine red pine wood that was originally placed directly opposite the door was where the office of the thousand households was located, and at this time it had been split into sections of firewood, and piled up in the middle of the lobby to form a huge fire. The fire was blazing, and two whole sheep were placed on it.

The heat of these two roasted whole sheep was almost the same, and the surface became a charming golden yellow, a piece of oil, extremely tempting, and the roasted fat dripped on the fire below, and from time to time there was a slight fluttering sound. On one side, there was a fat man who looked like a chef was holding a cooking box in one hand and a brush in the other, carefully brushing it on, and a burst of aroma was already beginning to hook people.

Sitting on the top of the throne is none other than Zhao Wouji, the incense master of Tunhewei, and there are more than a dozen people sitting under him, needless to say, they are naturally his old brothers who are in a high position in this incense body.

It is worth mentioning that the first person sitting on his left hand side turned out to be Brother Dazhang of the Bull Evil Bull, obviously he has not been in vain during this period of time, and he has vaguely secured the position of the first cadre under Zao Wou-ki.

Everyone sat on the ground, one person at a table, and the table in front of everyone was full of wine and food, and they couldn't eat it at all, and there were many dishes that were being sent up from the back hall, and the room was filled with the aroma of wine and meat.

These are rough and good men, drinking in big bowls, eating meat, laughing loudly, not bursting into a burst of laughter, very happy.

A man in his thirties sitting at the end stood up and said loudly, "Brother Niu, I would like to give you a drink!" To tell the truth, when the incense lord asked me to bring people here to reconnoiter the terrain, I looked at the wall of the Linghe Fort and drank it, and I was almost stupid! It's so high, it's so thick, and there's such a long hillside ahead, how can you hit it? I didn't expect it to be easy for you to take it down, and it didn't take an hour to use it! I'm here to help! Done! ”

After that, he picked up a big bowl of wine and tilted his neck to dry.

Niu Dazhang hurriedly stood up, also tilted his neck, took a sip of wine, and said, "This is not my credit, but the incense master's idea." ”

Seeing Niu Dazhang talking like this. Zao Wou-Ki smiled and said, "Hey." Brother Niu, don't be too humble, it should be yours. It's yours. You, as an officer and soldier, always think about it a lot, let's not do that here! ”

Niu Dazhang smiled and did not answer.

(Don't mention the cow evil in the future, mention the cow chapter.) ）

It was very difficult to defeat Linghe Fort, and that was for these White Lotus Sect thugs. And for Niu Dazhang, who has a deep mind and a lot of city government, it is an easy thing, and he easily found the weakness of the Linghe Fort garrison.

their dependents.

The territory of Linghe Fort is limited, so only soldiers are stationed here, and their families are living in the villages and towns outside, and when the White Lotus Sect called, these people had not had time to withdraw in.

Then the next thing was very simple, Niu Dazhang sent someone to arrest them all. Then they were driven by their swords to the Crane Fort, where a violent quarrel broke out over what to do with the relatives, and the officers ordered the arrows to be shot, but the soldiers did not listen to the orders at all. Some of the angry soldiers even spoke ill of their superiors. Some soldiers even took it upon themselves to open the city gates and let their relatives in.

And countless White Lotus Sect disciples flocked in.

So, those soldiers and officers. All dead.

For Niu Dazhang, who has repeatedly traveled with Lian Zining, it can be said that he has experienced a hundred battles. It's nothing, but for these White Lotus cultists who have almost zero experience in combat. This is already a miraculous combat skill.

After this battle, in this group, Niu Dazhang's reputation has increased a lot, and he is already recognized as the most capable of fighting.

And his personality is good, he has no arrogance, he is approachable, he drinks in a big bowl, eats meat, and there have never been any officers and soldiers who regard the superiority of the traitor, including those of his subordinates, who are all in harmony with these White Lotus disciples.

Niu Dazhang and his MI6 agents integrated into this collective in this way, little by little, quietly, and silently.

It's like water seeping into the sand, and it's natural, without a trace.

When the whole lamb was cooked, the cook held a sharp knife in his hand, skillfully sliced the meat for everyone, and served it when it was full of plates. This meat is fatty and oily, because the previous seasoning has seeped in, it is no more than any seasoning, and it is eaten directly. Zao Wou-Ki took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, only to feel that it was crispy and soft in the mouth, extremely delicious, and couldn't help but sigh comfortably and take another big sip of wine.

He suddenly said loudly: "Brothers, although we have already conquered the Linghe Fort, we can't stop, tomorrow will set off early in the morning and go south to attack the Wuzhi Dewen Station. ”

Everyone was shocked and asked why they were in such a hurry.

"There are two reasons!" Zao Wou-Ki raised his fingers: "The first one is because we can't leave others behind!" ”

"Leave someone behind?" Niu Dazhang frowned and said: "Lord Xiang, these days, we have conquered more than a dozen towns, several cities, and occupied a radius of more than 200 miles, and now the army under us has grown to 160,000, isn't it the largest?" The fastest? ”

"Okay, good question!" Zao Wou-Ki clapped his hands and said, "Originally, I thought so too, but yesterday, I received a letter from the sect leader mentioning a person. ”

"Duolunwei's incense master, Li Qingshan!" When he said this name, there was a hint of hatred in his eyes, and then he disappeared, but he was keenly captured by Niu Dazhang.

"Now Li Qingshan has led people to occupy the entire territory of Duolunwei, and there are 200,000 troops under his hands! is even ready to lead people across the river to attack the territory of General Jianzhou, so that we are compared! Zao Wou-Ki said hatefully: "I really didn't expect that this rotten guy is now developed." ”

It is not difficult to hear from Zao Wou-ki's words that he and Li Qingshan are quite contradictory, at least Zao Wou-Ki's side has intentionally or unintentionally expanded this contradiction.

Li Qingshan can be said to be a native of the White Lotus Sect, and he is the most reassuring and core backbone of the sect. He was born as a disaster victim, and when he was three years old, there was a great hunger in Liaodong, and they fled here, and were later adopted by Xu Hongru. At that time, I was looking at this child's dexterity, and I couldn't say that he would be able to entrust him with important responsibilities in the future. turned out to be unexpected, the more stupid this child became, and when he reached his teens, he was very wooden, and he couldn't even say a few words all day long, and he was like a stuffy gourd all day long. When I asked him what he was, his eyes were stunned. The people at the altar said he was a fool.

Other adopted children have already begun to undergo extremely rigorous training at this age. In order to come in handy in the future, only he was really muddy and couldn't get on the wall, so he simply got a rough job of cleaning the courtyard, and life passed year after year.

As a result, when he was eighteen, he began to emerge and show his talent in some things.

And these things are the most critical of that.

For example, the White Lotus Sect's secret transmission spell.

Because he is clumsy and wooden, he is not afraid to divulge secrets. He was arranged to be responsible for cleaning the courtyard where the sect leader Xu Hongru lived in the main altar, and Xu Hongru practiced various spells in the courtyard every morning for an hour, so as not to give birth to his hands. Sometimes Li Qingshan watched from the side, but Xu Hongru didn't take it to heart, most of them with the purpose of killing him in the future. As a result, I didn't expect that those spells turned out to be a seven-seven-eighty-eight for him, not only those superficial tricks, but even some very profound. Spells that only the sect master can master, he also stole to learn.

If it was just this, then Li Qingshan would not only not be reused, but would be killed immediately. After all, in this kind of guild gate with the nature of rivers and lakes. Stealing from teachers to learn art is already a great crime! It's enough for three cuts and six holes, plus a thousand cuts. As for stealing things that can only be used by the master. That's even more death.

But it was he the first to show it. Not in this area, but in the combat aspect.

Basically, the upper echelons of the White Lotus Sect knew about it. There is a well-equipped and brave army that directly belongs to the sect leader, only obeys the orders of the sect master, and is very brave and capable of fighting. But few people know that Li Qingshan has made great contributions to the formation of this army. When Xu Hongru was discussing with other middle and high-level sects, he listened to it next to him, but he suddenly interjected and said a lot of things, and every sentence was to the point, which immediately impressed Xu Hongru.

So in the next few days, Xu Hongru asked him to do this, and it turned out that this Li Qingshan has an amazing military talent, if he is trained a little, he will definitely be a good hand in leading troops to fight in the future.

So after another period of time, when Xu Hongru, who had fully realized Li Qingshan's value, found out that Li Qingshan was secretly learning spells, he was reluctant to kill him anymore, and simply recognized him as his godson and taught him everything. After waiting for another year, after the secret army was basically formed, Li Qingshan was appointed as the incense master of Duolunwei, which was the southernmost southern, richest, and most populous area under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei.

In hindsight, these old oilers have seen some doorways, who said that this kid is stupid, this kid is clearly better than anyone else! First pretended to be stupid and escaped the catastrophe - you know, the training of these children in the White Lotus Sect since childhood is quite similar to the ninja training of Fuso, the mortality rate is extremely high, and most of the survivors have become cold killing machines - and then aiming at the opportunity, once rising, from a small sweeper to the master of a fragrance, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a step to the sky!

And the reason why Zhao Wuji and Li Qingshan are not on good terms is also very simple, originally the sect leader had already promised him, and Duo Lunwei's incense was given to him, but it turned out to be cheaper for this kid. This directly means that in the three years since Li Qingshan took office, Zao Wou-Ki has lost more than 100,000 taels of silver!

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, that's a sea of blood and hatred!

In fact, this is also Xu Hongru's calculation, Zhao Wou-Ki and Li Qingshan are both among the top three forces among the incense masters under him, if the relationship between the two of them is particularly good, then Xu Hongru will have to sleep.

This is the scheming of the so-called superiors.

It's just that it is not difficult for those who have a heart to find that every time Li Qingshan is mentioned, Zao Wou-Ki's words are full of jealousy that cannot be hidden. Except for his qualifications being older than Li Qingshan, there is no comparison with others in other places.

"In the sect leader's letter, everyone praised Li Qingshan, and there was a very important news in and out of the sect leader's words." Zhao Wuji stared at everyone and said word by word: "Half a month later, the sect leader will assemble all the incense masters in the Tulunwei to agree on how our White Lotus Sect should act next, how to act, what banner to play, and seal the generals. And the level of the reward is the amount of power in your hands, that is to say, at that time, the more brothers you have, the more soldiers and horses you have, and the greater the officials you can get! ”

He took a deep breath and roared, "So we're going to have to fuck it!" (To be continued.) )
