It's late autumn again. There was a gloom everywhere. Winter is coming, and everything is dormant.

Gongsun Sheng walked back and forth in his barracks, his forehead wrinkled with a big Sichuan character, and the bun on his head was a little scattered, and he didn't bother to take care of it.

This is a man of about fifty years old, not very tall, but there is a kind of awe-inspiring majesty. He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, how do you think this matter should be decided? ”

There were many people standing around Gongsun Sheng, and the people who gathered the uprising did not have so many rules, and they couldn't even distinguish between the main and the secondary, so they stood together so randomly, but they were all majestic, and the fierceness revealed between their eyebrows was very impressive.

These people are all brothers who followed Gongsun Sheng into trouble. There are black-haired and yellow-skinned Orientals, as well as Westerners with high noses and deep eyes. Before the riots, they were all miners in the Fukuoka gold mines, and Kosun Katsu was their supervisor. After the riots, Zhang Xin, with the help of the Japanese people, quickly took Miyazaki, Kumamoto, Kago'er and other big cities in the south of Shizumi, and built up a lot of strength.

Gongsun Sheng also wanted to protect himself, so he pulled the pole to start an incident, but he had no confidence in this practice in his bones. He was originally a Taoist priest in the empire's Jinan Prefecture, but he was exiled here only because he committed a murder, and because he was proficient in the Five Elements and various Taoist secret arts, and the county order of Shishui County happened to be just this, so he was able to become the overseer of the mining area.

If you want to talk about the county order of Shishui County, it is an out-and-out corrupt official. Fusang Prefecture is far above the sea, as the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and this land is the location of the untouchables who even the emperor doesn't bother to take care of, and it is common for corrupt officials to breed. Just imagine that even the Yulin Army, a weapon of the country, has been corroded into such a state, and it would be hellish if the place was not corrupted.

Although the county order is good to Gongsun Sheng, the premise is that Gongsun Sheng can help him make money. The county order has a slight conscience towards Han criminals, but it treats the untouchables like talking animals. Therefore, Gongsun Sheng and others rushed into the government office and cut down the sacrificial flags in one go.

Now this move has become the biggest worry in the hearts of many of them.

"Helm, we killed the county commander, this move is a conspiracy, you say that the Marquis of Bohai can really pardon us?" A man with a deep blood groove on his face asked worriedly.

This blood groove was cut by a shovel knife while mining, but he himself claimed that he was cut by the other party during a fight, and the purpose was nothing more than to make people fear him more.

Gongsun Sheng's eyes burned and said, "I believe it can!" ”

"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

In fact, if it were not forced by circumstances, who would want to rebel? Even the untouchables pay higher taxes in Fuso, but not to the point where they cannot survive.

Gongsun Sheng said: "The reputation of the Marquis of Bohai who is righteous and squandered money, and Meng Wei's reputation is not false. As early as in Jinan Mansion, I had heard about the Marquis of Bohai sheltering the family of a repeat offender, and now he has come to recruit a rebel, and I believe it is true! ”

When he said this, many in the crowd agreed.

"Yes, yes, I've heard that. The families of many Class A felons have lived miserably, and the Marquis of Bohai has taken them to Bohai County for support! ”

"Yes, I have a relative who is a repeat offender, and his wife serves his mother alone at home, and she has also received funding from the Marquis of Bohai!"

"That is, the Marquis of Bohai is righteous and squandering wealth, righteousness comes first, it is worth believing!"

……

With these remarks, others and others were also silent. Apparently they all had something to offer.

Only one person stood up and bowed his hand to Gongsun Sheng and said: "Helm, we were untouchables before, and now we are traitors, even if we are recruited, we will inevitably be untouchables again, in this case, I would rather go out and fight, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning?!" ”

This man is tall, with blond hair, muscular hair, and a deeply contoured face, which at first glance indicates that he is a descendant of Western untouchables.

Gongsun Sheng frowned and said, "Tong Kun, what do you mean?" ”

Tong Kun said: "In my opinion, since this Marquis of Bohai wants to surrender and rebel, then we simply pretend to recruit An, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to take it down, and send Zhang Xin to the helm there. I don't know what to think at the helm? ”

Before Tong Kun finished speaking, Gongsun Sheng and the other Han people were already glaring at him.

"Tong Kun, do you know who is behind that letter? It's a widow! Do you want to take refuge in the widow who can't even lick your crotch? Gongsun Sheng asked sharply.

Tong Kun was stunned for a moment, and was about to be distinguished, and the man with a scar on his face next to him also jumped out and shouted: "Besides, one mountain does not allow two tigers, we are at the helm, so who has the final say with Zhang Xin?" I don't know about others, anyway, I, Yang Zhi, only serve Gongsun at the helm! ”

Tong Kun took care of the loss, and held back for a long time before he said: "I didn't say that I have to take refuge in Zhang at the helm......"

Gongsun Sheng glanced at him, then looked at the others and said aloud: "Brothers, we are all from a bitter background, and we were forced to walk on this road in desperation. Now that the Marquis of Bohai is a guarantor, he is willing to forgive us for my previous mistakes and work together to eliminate the traitors for the Han Dynasty! I want all to go down the mountain to greet the Marquis of Bohai, all the brothers are willing to follow me down the mountain, if you don't want to, pack up the soft and scatter the gang. When he sees each other again in the future, he should not have this fate! ”

Most of the people around him gave up: "Follow the orders of the helm!" ”

…………………… Dividing line ........................

"Lord Hou is above, please bow to Sun Sheng and others!"

In a grass hut on the Fukuoka mine, Gongsun Sheng led a group of people to bow down on one knee to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Mr. Yiqing doesn't need to be polite. ”

When Gongsun Sheng was a Taoist priest, the road number was clear, and later he committed a crime, and the road number became his word.

Gongsun Sheng was very ashamed, and he just wanted to use this worship to feel a little guilty for the time being, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't kneel, and he knew that this young Bohai Hou was not a mortal.

"Master Hou treats me and other criminals so politely, it really makes me very ashamed!" Gongsun Sheng sighed and did not insist on kneeling anymore.

This grass house is already the best in the whole mine. But it was not good to let the Marquis of Bohai stay here for a long time Gongsun Sheng, so he said: "Master Hou, since I am willing to be recruited, why don't we go back to Fukuoka under the mountain first?" It's really simple here, and I'm ashamed of the Hou Ye! ”

Shen Yun didn't care, just glanced at the people behind Gongsun Sheng, and said, "Mr. Yiqing, have all the brothers on the mountain arrived?" ”

Gongsun Sheng was about to speak, when a person ran in at the door and said urgently: "Helm, Tong Kun took the No. 10 brothers down the mountain and went to the south, leaving a word, swearing not to join the official army!" ”

Gongsun Sheng's face suddenly became ugly. And Shen Yun's face was also weird.

After hearing that the helmsman here was Gongsun Sheng, Shen Yun always had a bad feeling that he was the imperial eagle dog of Zhao'an in Liangshan, as if he took the "Liangshan heroes" to "conquer Fangla".

"Uh, who is Tong Kun?" Shen Yun asked casually, in order to ease the not-so-beautiful thoughts in his heart.

Gongsun Sheng pulled his face and bowed down and said: "Qi Qi Hou Ye, Tong Kun was originally a leader under my command, but Hou Ye rest assured, I have already made it clear to them before that if I go down this mountain, I will break off the brotherhood, and if we meet next time we are on the battlefield, we will not show mercy!" ”

"Why wait until next time, in my opinion, now I will take someone down the mountain to cut down the filthy goods that I don't know what to do!" The person who reported the news before said angrily.

Gongsun Sheng immediately scolded: "Yang Zhi, don't talk nonsense, everything is decided by Hou Ye!" ”

"Yang Zhi?" Shen Yun was already a little surprised by these names. However, how can this Yang Zhi's temper be like a black whirlwind, he is not at all calm in his impression.

Seeing that Shen Yun was silent, Gongsun Sheng thought that he was also thinking like Yang Zhi, so he gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Master Hou, or I will send someone down the mountain now......

Shen Yun woke up from his thoughts and said, "Oh, no, no. Horses of courses. If they want to go, just let it go! Mr. Yiqing, I learned that you are the biggest helmsman in Shishui County, can you please pass on the news of my surrender and rebellion, and see how many people can abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”

As soon as he said this, Gongsun Sheng immediately showed a rather smug smile on his face: "In fact, before the arrival of Hou Ye, Zai Xia had already passed on the news, and received a response from more than a dozen helmsmen, and they were all willing to abandon the darkness and follow Hou Ye!" ”

"How many people can there be?" This is what Shen Yun cares about the most.

Gongsun Sheng roughly calculated: "If you don't say anything, there are tens of thousands!" Speaking of this, he hesitated and said, "But if you want to exterminate Zhang Xin and others, I'm afraid it's not enough......

"Zhang Xin? No, no, no, I don't want you to send a letter! Shen Yun smiled, "Those are just internal contradictions, leave them to the officials and soldiers to solve." I have only one goal, and that is to be a widow! Brother is outside the wall to resist his insult, this widow is my henchman! ”

When Gongsun Sheng heard that he was not going south, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded: "Conquer the Japanese people?" That's no problem! There are 4,000 men and horses below, which is more than enough to deal with the Japanese people, and they are ready to be dispatched by the Hou Ye at any time! ”

Shen Yun smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything more.

…………………… Dividing line ........................

Edo Castle is full of armor.

The city is now entirely inhabited by Japanese people. All the people who lived here and were not looted by the untouchables were forced to move out, and all the vacated houses were occupied by the Chinese people.

The original castle guard is now the palace of the Wa King Meiji.

The weather was getting colder, but Meiji was still wearing a thin silk coat and walking anxiously back and forth in the room.

Someone pushed the door in, and Meiji immediately asked, "How is it?" Is there a war report from the front? ”

The person who came was an attendant, with tea and snacks in his hand, and when he saw the king asking, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Not yet, your majesty!" You haven't eaten in a day, why don't you eat first......"

"Go down!" As soon as Meiji heard that there was no battle report, he didn't even say anything more, and immediately waved his hand.

The attendant had no choice but to bow over again and retreat.

Today is the day when Sun Liang, the commander of the middle division of the Han army, will fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army. Meiji then walked anxiously back and forth in the room.

Many people can't understand why Sun Liang chose this time to fight the Japanese army, but Meiji knows why. It was he who forced Sun Liang to fight him at this moment.

If you want to talk about stubbornness, the Han army definitely has this strength, even if it drags it, it can drag down the Japanese people. After all, this Meiji was not the Meiji of the other country, and the Jiaolong Army was not a Beiyang naval division, and without obtaining the right to control the sea, the Meiji could not prevent the continuous supply of material resources to the Han army in Bohai County.

Since it is impossible to win the war in terms of strength, the only way to do so is to work the hearts and minds of the people.

Meiji knew that Sun Liang was an old and serious man, and compared to the arrogance of his former teacher Xi Lu and the determination of his later teacher Tan Zhen, Sun Liang was the most stable division commander in the Han army in Fusang Prefecture. Many times Meiji thought that the next commander of the Second Class Legion would be Sun Liang, but in fact, it was He Qi, whom no one had ever heard of, who replaced Sun Liang's position.

What are the Han people most passionate about? Infighting! The Japanese were no match for the Han people from any point of view, and in this case, Sun Liang would never be convinced that a person who had never heard of it would take charge of the second-class legion.

Meiji took advantage of this, he asked people to spread the news of He Qi's death at sea in Hyogo and Nara and other places, and also used some people to say in Sun Liang's ear: "Xi Lu is dead, Tan Zhen is in the Bohai Sea, try to ask Fusang today, who can be in charge?" Non-general ears! If the general can exterminate the Japanese and make immortal feats, the post of commander of this army must be the general! ”

At the same time, Meiji spread the news that he had contracted the wind chill and had been in a coma for several days.

In this way, Sun Liang could no longer sit still. He urgently needed a miracle to establish his position in Fusang Prefecture, so there was this sudden decisive battle.

Sun Liang gathered all the forces of the middle division, a total of 15,000 people, and also gathered other auxiliary troops, a total of more than 40,000 people, and jumped out of the mountains to advance to the Kwantung Plain in one fell swoop.

This was the largest battle in Fuso since the Shojo Expedition, so how could Meiji not be nervous? Although he had deduced countless times with his subordinates, Meiji was still very nervous.

Wars are made up of countless accidents, and no one can say that they will win until the results are completely out. Just like in Qingchuan County, he thought he would win, but in the end, he was overturned by Shen Yun in one fell swoop......

Thinking of this, Meiji's heart felt like a nameless fire was burning.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and a man crept in.

Meiji didn't shout back: "Go out, unless there is a battle report, no one else will be seen!" ”

"Brother!" The sweet voice wakes up Meiji.

Meiji Huo Ran turned around, but saw a beautiful girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a Han dress standing behind him delicately.

"Oh, it's my sister! Can I help you? Meiji immediately changed his kind expression and asked with a smile.

This woman is Meiji's only sister, Shizumi. It would be inaccurate to say that there are no beauties in the country, there is no shortage of beauties in any place, it just depends on the number. Meiji didn't think that the emperor of the Han State at this time was a person who would be swayed by women, so the women he paid tribute to the Han Empire were ordinary goods.

Among the beauties of the Japanese country, Jingmei is undoubtedly the most beautiful one.

This Jingmei is good at everything, with the gentleness and toughness of the Japanese woman's tradition, but there is only one thing that Meiji doesn't like very much, and that is that his sister likes Han culture too much. He knew that Han culture was desirable, especially for the people of the Cold Weapon Era, but he took the revitalization of Yamato as his own responsibility, and while learning Han culture, he also had to be proficient in Western culture, and he also worked hard to instill Jingmei in this regard.

But like most Japanese women in this era, Jingmei never disdained Western culture, but devoted herself to learning from the Han Chinese.

Like all Wa women, she was proud to marry a Han Chinese. She once told her brother that if she could marry a Han Chinese, it didn't matter if he was a pariah.

In this war, Meiji persuaded most of the Japanese people, including his sister, on the grounds of helping the Han Empire to quell the rebellion. Otherwise, this sister is afraid that she will be forced to die, and she will never fight with the Han people.

So when he saw his sister at this moment, Meiji smiled rarely.

Shizumi looked at her brother and said with a smile, "It's nothing, so walk around!" Wow, brother, the Han people's home is so beautiful and big, the queen mother said that she had never lived in such a beautiful house! ”

Meiji's mother, Sayein, was the queen of the previous king of the Wa Kingdom, and she was from Sapporo and was a woman who had never left the Wa Kingdom, so she was naturally less knowledgeable. However, compared to Jingmei's absolute affection for the Han people, Shayein agrees with her son's strategy very much. She said: "If you want the Japanese people to live a better life, you can only snatch food from the mouths of the Han people...... However, Han people are very difficult to mess with, so you must be careful! ”

At the mention of his mother, Meiji showed a rare warm smile and said, "Is the queen mother still used to living?" ”

Jingmei nodded again and again: "Well, get used to it." My sister-in-law also likes it here! It's just brother, why are all the Han officials here gone? ”

Meiji, of course, can't say that these Han officials were all killed by him, but can only say: "Oh, these Han officials are cowardly, and after the untouchables got up, they fled!" ”

"Really?" Jingmei's eyes showed disappointment, in her opinion, the Han people should be fearless, brave and invincible, how could they escape?

In fact, the officials of Edo Castle did hold out to the end. The untouchables did not dare to attack this big city, but the Japanese army forcibly attacked the city, killing and wounding hundreds of people before taking the city and defending the city. After the original city guard killed all his wives and children, he also committed suicide in front of the official office facing west! I really did my best and died!

Meiji won't tell his sister about these things. He wants to build a powerful empire, and then find a man as majestic as Oda Nobunaga for his sister to be a husband.

At this moment, the attendant who brought the tea just now hurriedly came again, and Meiji mentioned it in his heart, and hurriedly said, "But there is a war report?" ”

The attendant was so anxious that he knotted his speech, shook his head, and said, "King, king, horse, master horse is here!" ”

Master Ma?

Meiji suddenly remembered a person, the Roman envoy Mano!

"Please!" Meiji didn't dare to slack off, and was busy packing up his outfit and preparing to welcome Mano. When he turned around and saw that his sister was still standing in the room, he said, "Jingmei, I want to see an important guest, you go to accompany your mother or your sister-in-law first!" ”

"Oh, okay!" Jingmei obediently bowed to Meiji and slowly retreated.

Meiji could only smile wryly at this.

Jingmei came out of the door, and suddenly saw the attendant just now hurrying towards her brother's room with two people, both of them were tall and mighty, but one of them was full of blond hair, high nose and deep eyes, and he was a Westerner.

Jingmei's face was disdainful, but her eyes fell on the black-haired and yellow-skinned man behind the Westerner, and said secretly: "He must be Han, well, so handsome!" Hey, how did my brother meet this Westerner? I still look nervous! ”

Shizumi looked around curiously, then sneaked to the corner of her brother's room, cowering like a cat stealing food, licking her lips nervously and listening to the movement inside.

……

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, why did you come here suddenly without notifying you in advance?!" Meiji said to Mano with a smile.

Mano shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If you come uninvited, isn't Your Excellency not welcome?" ”

"How, come, sit!" Meiji curiously glanced at the Han man behind Mano, but didn't ask.

The three of them sat down, and the attendants served tea and snacks, then carefully closed the door and walked out.

Ma Nuo then introduced: "Your Excellency, this is Ling Hupeng, the helm of the Bohai Secret Guard, and he is also an alumnus of the lower ranks. ”

Meiji was in a hurry, and said, "Ah, I'm glad to be there." ”

Ling Hupeng smiled: "It's an honor to meet the king." ”

Meiji gave Mano a strange look, and the meaning was clear, he wanted to ask him why he had brought this person.

Mano explained: "Actually, Brother Linghu is also a pawn planted by my Roman Empire in the Han Kingdom, and this time I came to take refuge in Your Excellency's place for a few days. His identity has been revealed, and he can't stay in Han anymore! ”

Meiji suddenly said: "Oh, last time our Weasel Group surrounded and suppressed the Bohai Sea Secret Guard, it was the news given by Your Excellency, isn't it?" ”

Ling Hupeng nodded with a smile: "Yes, at that time, Major He of the Secret Guard suddenly attacked, and I was a little caught off guard, but fortunately, your army attacked Seoul, so that enough manpower can be mobilized to counterattack." After that night, the Bohai Secret Guard suffered heavy losses, and he was no longer the opponent of the Weasel Group! ”

"In that case, you are the benefactor of our country! Please be worshiped by Xiao Wang! Saying that, Meiji gave a big bow to Ling Fox Peng.

Ling Hu Peng hurriedly and politely helped him up, but with a proud smile on his face.

"Now in charge of the Bohai secret guard is Shen Yun, the Marquis of Bohai, this Shen Yun is much more difficult to deal with than the shopkeeper He, the king should be careful." Ling Hupeng said, "When I came, I heard that your army was preparing to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but I don't know how the battle is now?" ”

Speaking of this, Meiji was also anxious, and frowned: "Counting the time, the two armies should have fought now." I just don't know what the outcome will be. Xiao Wang is also worried. ”

"Are you sure?" Mano also asked worriedly.

Meiji said: "I don't dare to say it, sixty percent can still be guaranteed." The main battle strength of the Han army is only 15,000 men, and I have drawn all the troops, a total of 100,000 people, and I have already made arrangements in the decisive battle, and half of the auxiliary army of the Han army are also my men, so it is not a problem to defeat the Han army. The only thing to worry about is that Sun Liang, I heard that he is a rare general, if he hadn't been lured by my strategy, he would not have attacked so rashly. ”

As he spoke, Meiji elaborated on his own lure of Sun Liang to attack.

Ling Hupeng held his chin and said: "Well, I have heard of this Sun Liang, he was originally the eldest son of the Jiangdong Sun family, he joined the army at a young age and was very talented. He was promoted to the commander of the second class regiment in Fusang Prefecture, and he was a powerful character. This person is very cautious, not seeking merit but no fault, if he finds the clue, and then fights this war into a protracted war, it will also be a headache! ”

Meiji frowned and said: "As long as he leaves the mountains, on the plains, with the tenacity of the Han army, he can only camp for half a month at most." ”

Ma Nuo said: "Your Excellency, can your logistical supplies still guarantee half a month's military supply?" ”

Meiji smiled: "Don't say half a month, ten years won't be a problem!" The autumn harvest has just begun, and our people are diligent and have already collected all the food, and as long as I give an order, the food will be supplied in a steady stream. Don't worry, Your Excellency! ”

Mano knew that he didn't want to show his cowardice in front of him, but he didn't break him, but asked, "That means that the grain hasn't been collected yet?" Wouldn't that be safe? ”

Meiji said: "This levy date has not yet arrived...... Hehe, don't worry, Your Excellency, even if the Han army wants to crusade against our country, it must be summer next year at the earliest, and there will be no big moves now. What's more, I will issue an emergency tax collection plan tomorrow, and then I will collect all the surplus grain in the hands of my people and unify the military ......."

Just then, there was a sharp knock at the door.

Meiji frowned displeasedly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, urgent military situation!" The attendant panted.

Meiji Huo Ran stood up, jumped to the door in a few steps, opened the door and snatched the battle report from the hand of the attendant, after reading it, there was a little stunned on his expression, but there was also a little joy.

Mano hurriedly asked, "How is the battle?" ”

Meiji put down the battle report, looked at Linghu Peng and said, "Brother Linghu is really a great talent, this battle situation is really a stalemate as you said!" ”

Ling Hupeng was also stunned, he just said casually, how did he know that this would really be the case, and he couldn't help leaning over to look at the battle report.

I saw that the battle report was written in dense small characters, and the handwriting was a little sloppy, obviously written in a hurry. The characters are all kanji, and this Meiji did not change the writing system, after all, this kind of thing is not something that can be changed by saying that it can be changed, and besides, the Japanese script itself is a variant of kanji.

According to the battle report, the battle broke out in the morning, and the two armies fought fiercely for an hour, and the Han army was brave and almost broke through the Japanese army formation in the middle of the road. At this time, the auxiliary army of the Han army suddenly attacked, and rushed the Han army from both flanks. Seeing this, Sun Liang, the commander of the middle division of the Han army, immediately retracted the offensive, because Sun Liang had two strong armies, the pro-soldier brigade and the guard brigade, and was equipped with scout cavalry, he quickly returned to the two wings and contained the attack of the auxiliary army.

But at this moment, the Japanese army's counteroffensive began, cutting off the way for the Han army to flee back to the mountains, and Sun Liang formed a tortoiseshell formation on the spot to stop the Japanese army's offensive, and at the same time built a camp to prepare for a long-term hold.

The Han army was brave, and several attacks by the Japanese army were repulsed, but the Han army could not escape the encirclement of the Japanese army, and now the two armies are facing each other.

In this battle, it is initially estimated that 2,100 people were killed by the main force of the Han army, and about 4,000 people were lost by their own side.

The battle report was simple, but the bursts of killing intent revealed still made the three people present a little nervous. Although the casualty figures are only preliminary, they are not likely to differ much.

"The exchange ratio of two to one, tsk, the strength of this Han army ......" Ma Nuo did not finish speaking, but his emotion was naturally revealed.

At this time, I only heard a shout from the attendant outside: "Who is there?" ”

The three of them were startled, and at the same time stood up and hurriedly walked out the door.

At the door, Jingmei was already full of tears, looked at her brother and cried: "Brother, you lied to me, you have been lying to me all along!! ”

After saying that, he ran away in tears.
