On the seventh day of October in the 25th year of Jiajing, the county seat of Kunshan was lost, under the blow of the Japanese invaders, the defenders collapsed, and more people lost their minds to escape, which exacerbated this collapse, the defenders who wanted to resist could not resist, and it was difficult for those who wanted to escape to escape, everyone rushed to the west city gate to escape, but they did not notice that the attacking Japanese were only more than 1,000 people, and the large army of the Japanese invaders was still robbing in the villages and did not come back.

The more than 5,000 Ming troops once again lost to more than 1,000 Japanese without incident.

On the surface, it seems like this, but if Fan Qing himself wants to say, from beginning to end, there are only one or two thousand people who fight desperately on the front line, most of the soldiers either deserted or have been hiding behind and are unwilling to come forward to fight, and if they are in a hurry, they will go up and shoot a few arrows, if they are not in a hurry, they will stay behind and hide without showing their heads, and it is very safe, so in fact, it is one or two thousand Ming troops against more than four thousand Japanese invaders, and the ratio of strength is reversed!

But no one will care about this, lose, is lose, Fan Qing failed to successfully hold Kunshan and wait for Zhu Kun's reinforcements, but the luck in the misfortune is that the strength of the Japanese is not enough to pursue, after capturing Kunshan, the huge county town is enough for them to burn and loot, more than a thousand Japanese robbers were also carried away by huge wealth, did not continue to pursue, but rushed to rob, and even in the process of robbery, they also ate black, killed each other, and killed many people.

Until Chen Dong rushed to Kunshan County with a large team of people to rectify the order, Kunshan County has become a dead area, the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that Fan Qing has been prepared to evacuate most of the citizens of Kunshan County, and to keep the citizens of Kunshan County, it will keep the fire of rebuilding Kunshan, but the small number of Kunshan County citizens who stayed behind died eight or nine, and the houses and residences were also destroyed a lot. His sins are too numerous to mention.

A larger number of surviving refugees and the rout army ran all the way to the west, the road was inevitably bumped and bumped, the people and soldiers fought with each other, no one obeyed anyone, and even there were armed fights on the road, but fortunately, the combat effectiveness of these guards was not as good as the peasants, although the attitude was arrogant, but it was really fought, but it was beaten all over the ground by the refugees who were about to burn up, and they fled in embarrassment, until they ran into the reinforcements brought by Zhu Kun a day later, and many people died along the way.

Half a day ago, Zhu Kun knew the news, some of the Suzhou soldiers were sober-headed, and they rushed out of the city at the moment the city was broken, galloped to the west, and just bumped into Zhu Kun who came to the rescue, and reported to Zhu Kun the news that the county seat of Kunshan was breached, Zhu Kun felt that the world was spinning, and it was easy to stabilize his body, and then asked Fan Qing how it was, and the Suzhou soldiers honestly confessed that Fuzun had been fighting on the front line, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Zhu Kun was greatly grieved, on the one hand, he rushed to grieve for the possible loss of this conscientious subordinate, and on the other hand, he also felt confused about his future future, but he quickly came to his senses, and the top priority should be to quickly stabilize his position, build a defensive line nearby, no longer move forward, collect refugees and routs, send people to inquire about Fan Qing's news, and so on.

Fortunately, Fan Qing had a big life, and the Suzhou soldiers who protected him also had a big life, and they bumped into Zhu Kun before the arrival of the refugee brigade, handed over the unconscious Fan Qing to Zhu Kun, and then reported to Zhu Kun the whole process of the entire city break.

When Zhu Kun heard that the reason why the county seat of Kunshan was lost was the reason why the refugees in the city disobeyed the order to open the city gate and try to rescue their relatives outside the city into the city, he couldn't help but be furious, he instinctively wanted to order the accountability, but in the chaos, who was responsible? Perhaps there were also the fine works of the Japanese in that group of refugees, which was a trick that the Japanese had thought of early on, and seeing that the city could not be attacked head-on, they began to play yin, play tricks, and take advantage of the weakness of human nature.

These robbers are not only fierce, but also cunning, and even more vicious!

Zhu Kun gritted his teeth and looked at the east, clenched his fists tightly, and wanted to wave his army to kill him now, but reason stopped Zhu Kun, and Zhu Kun could only choose the city on the spot to build a defensive line and organize the further deepening of the Japanese Kou, at the same time, he finally made up his mind and issued an order, ordering Zheng Guang to lead the new army to Kunshan to help in the war, and at the same time ask for help from the garrisons in various places, but after this battle, Zhu Kun almost saw through those local garrisons, they came worse than not coming, purely to give the Japanese Kou a head, can really fight, Or count Lu Bo and Tang Kekuan.

But some time ago, the Japanese invaded Zhejiang, these two people have been anxious, and they have suffered a lot of defeats, and now they are unable to support Su Song, Zhu Kun's only hope is Zheng Guang's new army, and a group of firearms troops trained by Sun Ting's hard work, can use firearms and artillery to temporarily stop the Japanese invaders, in short, to avoid close combat, these soldiers can still be used, once they encounter close combat, these soldiers can not be used at all.

Eight hundred miles rushed to Yiwu to find Zheng Guang, and Zheng Guang was having a headache about whether his information was leaked, and as predicted, the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn said that about half an hour before Gao Shiming and Wang Hui arrived, a guest from other places left in a hurry, it seemed that there was something urgent, but he didn't know where he was from, listening to the accent, anyway, he was not a local, and he also said that he was a businessman.

Zheng Guang further determined that this person was a spy sent by the Japanese Invaders or a spy sent by someone related to the Japanese Invaders, such as the manpower of those large maritime merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang, but there was no evidence, Zheng Guang was not sure, and now, he should not know that the little guy had already explained some things, Zheng Guang did not plan to have a showdown with them for the time being, and there was no benefit to the showdown now, so Zheng Guang brought Xu Wei over, intending to let Xu Wei investigate some things.

"You mean, let me go to Yanping Mansion to check on the local Yao family?" Xu Wei frowned and asked.

Zheng Guang nodded: "Also pay attention to the rich family, preferably the businessman's family, the little guy confessed before he died, it is the family surnamed Yao, I thought again, can have a relationship with those Fujian, Zhejiang and maritime merchants, not small people, can be called the master by the small guy, but also should be rich to raise private slaves, except for the big family, there is no one else, ordinary people can't do it." ”

Xu Wei whispered, "Do you think those people are ready to do something to you?" ”

Zheng Guang said in a low voice: "Even if you don't do it now, you have to collect intelligence, after all, these two places come and go, and many things need a lot of time to corroborate, they are not so quick to determine my truth and truth, and they don't dare to make judgments, but the operation of the Japanese Kou this time is obviously a temptation at the beginning, and after the temptation is arrogance, and I have never appeared, and they don't dare to really do it, they must ask for news about me everywhere." ”

Xu Wei's face showed a worried look, and said: "Each of those big families has a large number of dead soldiers, far more than the number stipulated by the imperial court, not to mention that they are not nobles, you have to be cautious, once you really become their mortal enemy, they will do it to you at all costs, you must pay attention to protect yourself." ”

Zheng Guang smiled, touched the loose fat on Xu Wei's arm, and said: "Compared to me, you have to be careful, Yanping Mansion is very likely to have a large number of big families who belong to the behind-the-scenes group, and they should be all over the local area, suddenly a foreigner appeared everywhere to inquire about the family surnamed Yao, in case someone noticed, your body will have to be confessed there, I think I still send a few people to protect you, go together, I can't do without your help!" ”

Xu Wei also smiled and said: "That's the same, I don't know martial arts, you send a few good hands to help me, don't get some crooked melons and bad dates, in case something happens to me, you can cry!" ”

Zheng Guang patted Xu Wei's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety, however, you also have to pay attention, be careful when you investigate, it is best to sit in the tavern, listen, see, the more people there are, the more well-informed the information, before you are sure, don't go to other people's houses to wander, these people are very vigilant, do not pay attention to your own safety, once you feel bad, immediately retreat to Suzhou or Yiwu, you can protect your safety." ”

Xu Wei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely check something for you, but if you are here, if you want to send troops to fight, I can't help you, it's all up to you." ”

Zheng Guang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry about this, I have a lot of experience in marching and fighting, if I really fight, I am not afraid of those widows." ”

Xu Wei nodded, turned around and left, Zheng Guang asked Chen Dacheng to select a few strong martial arts players, and accompanied Xu Wei to Yanping, Fujian to investigate the news.

Xu Wei's worries and Zheng Guang's prediction were fulfilled two days later, and an eight-hundred-mile urgent document from Zhu Kun was delivered to Zheng Guang through the panicked Yiwu Zhixian, and the worst that Zheng Guang could predict happened, and it could get worse at any time, without further ado, Zheng Guang immediately decided to send troops north to support Zhu Kun.
