PS: It's Chinese New Year's Eve, Tiandao wishes everyone a happy New Year, and the New Year continues to change.

Thinking of this, Li Cangxing said: "Fatty, you said that Zhang Juzheng found the Dongting Gang as his foreign aid on the rivers and lakes, so befriending a general with military power like Qi Jiguang won't attract the emperor's suspicion and suspicion?" ”

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that this is Zhang Juzheng's cleverness, since the Dongting Gang is from Dongchang, the emperor standing behind him, Zhang Juzheng and the Dongting Gang are on the line, and they can do what the emperor wants to do but can't do, because the Dongting Gang and the Demon Sect supported by Yan Song's father and son are mortal enemies, and the emperor can't break with Yan's father and son now, so it is impossible to openly support the Dongting Gang, I think this is also the reason why the Dongting Gang has been unable to publicly reveal his identity over the years." ”

Li Cangxing sighed: "I'm afraid it's exactly as you said." The emperor is a good person, although his mind is not right, but he is extremely shrewd in maintaining his power and preventing any of his courtiers from dominating the family. Through the Dongting Gang to restrain the Demon Sect of the Yan family and his son, and Zhang Juzheng also saw this, so he set up with the Dongting Gang, in fact, he helped the emperor to be a pawn against the Yan family father and son, and the money that the emperor was inconvenient to give directly, Zhang Juzheng came out, and the emperor was naturally satisfied. ”

"And that Qi Jiguang, presumably also saw this, Yan Shifan has colluded with the Japanese and the Spaniards on the southeast coast in the past few years, and it is really unseemly, and now just plundering coastal towns can no longer satisfy their appetite, and even important towns like Taizhou Mansion dare to attack, so Zhang Juzheng went to Qi Jiguang at this time to have a good relationship. It's also a natural thing. ”

Qian Guanglai said with a straight face: "Cangxing, since you have fully understood the stakes involved, what are you going to do next?" General Qi is equivalent to Tong Guò Zhang Juzheng catching up with the emperor. I'm afraid you don't want to serve this faint monarch anymore, do you still plan to make friends with General Qi? ”

Li Cangxing thought about it carefully, and his expression turned resolute: "No matter what happens in the future, at least before the elimination of the Japanese Kou, we still have to do our best to help General Qi, General Qi is not the kind of person who is keen on promotion, even if he is connected with Zhang Juzheng." Most of them also want to find a backer who can fully support him in leading troops, Hu Zongxian seems that it will be difficult to protect himself in the future, in order not to lose his official position with Governor Hu. After mistaking the great cause of exterminating the Japanese, he turned to Zhang Juzheng. ”

Qian Guanglai nodded: "To be honest, General Qi has really benefited Zhang Juzheng a lot, and our beggar gang has also helped him take over these businesses." In recent years, General Qi has been the spoils of war after defeating the Japanese invaders. In addition to rewarding the sergeants, they were not handed over to the imperial court, and they were all used to bribe Zhang Juzheng, and even some of the secret spring pills and secret drama pictures made by the Japanese were also transported to Lord Zhang, oh, and there were some stunning women who were robbed by the Japanese and rescued again. It was also given to Lord Zhang as a concubine. ”

Li Cangxing's brows furrowed: "Although it is to stabilize his position, this kind of thing is immoral after all." If even the fat man knows about it, I'm afraid that the Yan Party will also know about it, so they won't impeach? ”

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "Probably Yan Shifan also knows that Zhang Juzheng can't move now, and Qi Jiguang can't be destroyed, relying on these private virtues to attack General Qi, the emperor will ignore him, so he can only let the Japanese invade Zhejiang in a big way, once General Qi fights unfavorably, loses important towns, or the sergeants lose too much, Yan Dang will make a fuss about these." ”

Li Cangxing laughed: "It turns out that this is the real reason why this battle of the Japanese invaders will take so many weeks, and the two ways of feint attack will capture Taizhou, even if General Qi kills more Japanese invaders, as long as Taizhou is lost, it will also set a precedent for the loss of state-level cities since the Japanese rebellion. ”

Qian Guanglai nodded: "That's right, so this time, the Japanese Kou, or Yan Shifan behind them, is determined to win Taizhou City, Qi Jiguang's future and official position can be said to be all in your hands, Cangxing, are you really ready to help him with all your might?" ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Cangxing's eyes: "Do I have any other choice?" ”

Qian Guanglai said with a smile: "Cangxing, we are just acting as Qi Jiguang's subordinates in this battle, and this army is not strictly speaking the regular army of the imperial court, even if it wins, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have much credit, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult to make a name for itself in the first battle, to attract more people to join us in the future, you are coming back to the southeast, although you didn't say it, but I can see that your purpose is by no means as simple as establishing a martial arts sect, Cangxing, if you have higher ambitions, you should think about it, and you will fulfill others in the future. It's still developing and growing itself. ”

Li Cangxing has always known that under Qian Guanglai's honest and fat face, he actually has an extremely shrewd mind, and he can achieve such a large business scale with his own strength, which is far from being able to be done by relying on ordinary connections and management, although when he was in Beijing in the past, he did not discuss the general trend of the world with Qian Guanglai, but Li Cangxing knows very well that among his brothers, in terms of martial arts and strength, everyone has their own merits, but if you want to talk about the meticulousness of your mind and the far-reaching insight, it is none other than Qian Guanglai and Pei Wenyuan. He is absolutely loyal to himself, but his view of the general trend of the world is far less profound than that of Qian Guanglai, who has been in business for many years.

So Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "Fatty, you are still smart, my mind really can't hide from you, you are right, it is impossible to bring down the Demon Sect and Yan Shifan by relying on only one martial arts sect, when necessary, we must grasp more power, so this time in Zhejiang, I have to make friends with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, who are in charge of the army, I don't have military merits in my eyes, if I can use guò to make General Qi and me sincerely opposed, I am very happy." ”

Qian Guanglai's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice, as thin as a gnat: "Cangxing, do you really have the heart to raise an army to overthrow the tyrant and clarify the heart of the world?" ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "It's too early to say this, it's just that the strength of our people in the rivers and lakes is too thin, let's take one step at a time." ”

Qian Guanglai smiled: "If you really have this thought, I didn't say it to my old Qian, Daoshan Huohai will go with you." ”

Li Cangxing was stunned for a moment: "Fatty, you have a family and a business." Why do you want to make this headless business with me in the future? ”

Qian Guanglai shook his head: "The root of this dark world lies in that faint king, I only hate that no chivalrous person can raise his arms." Overthrow him, my master has actually always had this thought, if it weren't for the beggar gang infiltrating too much, my master wouldn't be able to keep it secret, and most of them would have taken this path, but don't worry, if you really want to do something. My master will definitely do his best to help. ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "That's so grateful, it's just that the Gongsun gang leader is highly respected, even if he raises troops to eliminate violence in the future." should also respect him, how can I, a younger generation, stand out on my own. ”

Qian Guanglai smiled "hehe": "Cangxing, your dragon slaying knife can only be controlled by a person with dragon blood." This determines that you are the one to whom destiny belongs. Master and I are just mortals, and you are the heroic lord who God is destined to choose to save the world, so don't shirk it anymore. ”

Li Cangxing was silent in his heart, he was afraid that many people would know the origin of this dragon slaying knife, and these people also regarded themselves who could control the dragon slaying knife as their true destiny, he decided to hide his true thoughts from Qian Guanglai for the time being, and smiled slightly: "Fatty." This matter is too far away, and the matter of raising troops is only considered when it is absolutely necessary. Now I just want to help General Qi eliminate the Japanese and restore peace to the southeast. It doesn't matter if you are famous or not, the important thing is that the people in the southeast will no longer be afraid and can enjoy peace forever. ”

"Even if General Qi doesn't report our merits to us for his own consideration, it's not a big deal, we are fighting Haiyan and Xinhe this time, the people in these two places know who is fighting for them, and the people's hearts are not represented by an edict or a black veil from the imperial court, and the people's eyes are bright and will not turn a blind eye to our efforts."

Qian Guanglai nodded: "You have decided like this, I won't say anything more, then we will do our best to help Qi Jiguang repel the Japanese invaders, regardless of the losses and post-war affairs?" ”

Li Cangxing said: "There are tens of thousands of Japanese invaders, and the soldiers are divided into three routes, each road should only be five or six thousand people, with the Mandarin Duck Formation of General Qi's department, it is not difficult to win, but the trouble is to attack in the three ways of the Japanese Invaders, I am afraid that General Qi's troops will be dragged by one or two roads, as long as there is a sneak attack on Taizhou City, it will be troublesome, so our army will either go directly to defend Taizhou, or help General Qi's department to fight the Japanese Kou head-on, so that General Qi can quickly leave the battlefield to meet the Japanese Kou on other roads." ”

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "Huajie in the northeast of Taizhou, there is a wide beach there, if the Japanese really divide their troops into three routes, there will definitely be one way from there, and there is another one, the Japanese who we let go of Haiyan will definitely be the first to escape to Huajie, so if these Japanese invaders must be the first to attack Taizhou." If you want to help the Qi family's army fight these pirates, you have to go there first. ”

Li Cangxing smiled: "It's exactly what I want." ”

Although the two kept talking and communicating, there was no delay at their feet, and they had already run out for thirty or forty miles while talking, and they were less than ten miles away from Nahua Street.

There was a dull sound of horns in the distance, and the sound of hundreds of war drums also sounded at the same time, shaking the heavens and the earth, Li Cangxing and Qian Guanglai glanced at each other, stopped, and the teams that followed behind also stopped.

Li Cangxing lay down on the ground, this art of listening was learned in the desert, if the thousands of troops and horses within twenty miles passed, it would definitely produce a huge shock, with his skills, he could judge the size of the army, a moment later, he jumped up from the ground, while patting the dust on his body, while saying: "It seems that we came at the right time, the two sides have encountered, are arrayed, the Qi family army is about 3,000 people, and there should be 6,000 people in the Japanese Kou." ”

Qian Guanglai said with a smile: "Then it seems that General Qi is almost the whole army dispatched, and now the Qi family army is only three or four thousand people, so Taizhou is empty, cang, do you go straight to Taizhou, or go to the battlefield to help?" ”

Li Cangxing pondered for a moment and said: "Taizhou is a big city after all, and it will not be captured for a while, let's join forces with the Qi family army first, eat this group of Japanese bandits, and then quickly return to Taizhou to meet the other two groups of Japanese bandits." ”

Qian Guanglai hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Cangxing, in this way, whether it is victory or support, the credit will go to Qi Jiguang, which will not do us any good." ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "This point has been said just now, fat man, first defeat the Japanese invaders, we don't expect to be promoted in the court and make a fortune, this military merit is not of much use to us, there is a chance to marry Qi Jiguang." It's not a bad thing. ”

After Li Cangxing finished speaking, he said loudly to the back: "Brothers, the Japanese are fighting with the Qi family army in front. It's time for us to kill thieves and serve the country, rush with me! ”

The men in yellow drew out the weapons on their bodies in unison, raised them high, and roared to the sky: "Kill the Japanese to serve the country, kill the Japanese to serve the country!" ”

At this time, Pei Wenyuan, Ouyang Ke and others in the back also followed. Li Cangxing glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone leads their own brothers and teams to act. When the two armies are fighting, if they are evenly matched, they will find a way to attack from the flank of the Japanese and if the Japanese are defeated. then perform light skills to pursue. Try not to leave prisoners and alive, and return to Taizhou City after the battle is quickly ended. I'll go first, and you'll be in full speed as soon as you have your team up. ”

Pei Wenyuan and the others claimed that it was, and when they turned around, they began to greet their subordinates, while Li Cangxing took up light skills and rushed towards the direction of Huajie.

In the past three years, Li Cangxing's light skills have also made great progress along with his skills. That day in the desert, even if he tracked down the peerless black robe. He didn't fall behind at all, the distance of ten miles was really insignificant to him, and he ran wildly along the way, and every rise and fall could fly out more than ten zhang, and in just a moment or so, he rushed into the battlefield.

There is also a saying for the place name of this flower street. Legend has it that the nine sons of the dragon were responsible for managing the precipitation in the world. Flower Street is located by the sea, and coastal people often suffer. The nine sons of the dragon couldn't stand it, and each of them took off a piece of dragon scales from his body and turned into a nine-petal lotus flower to shelter the people from the wind and rain. The Queen Mother took a fancy to the lotus flower and sent heavenly soldiers to snatch the lotus, and the two sides fought, the nine-petal lotus flower was broken, and the flowers fell like rain. The place where the flowers fall is named Flower Street.

But now Huajie, but is a small town, there are more than 200 households in peacetime, the Qi family army and the Japanese army arrived at both ends of the town almost at the same time, the people in the town have been evacuated in advance, the empty streets, revealing a trace of unspeakable depression and heaviness, Li Cangxing just heard the sound of war drums, the Qi family army has found the enemy army, began to line up, and when he ran for ten miles, the Japanese and Qi family army have already finished the formation, rushed into the town of Huajie, and are fighting on the bluestone street.

Li Cangxing saw it clearly, the Japanese were still as chaotic as ever, there was no formation, and they fought in groups of three or five, while the Qi family army was arranged according to the mandarin duck formation that day, a group of eleven people, on this narrow street, there was a change of formation according to local conditions, each team put the wolf hand in the front, waving the one foot three feet long, thick branches and leaves, using the six-style dragon flying spear method that he taught them ten days ago.

It seems that this time they have practiced these six tricks quite proficiently, one move and one style to use the tiger and tiger, those widows have never seen such a new weapon, wielding long knives, slashing and chopping, but they are completely unable to break through the branches and branches of the wolf's body, Qi Jiguang has worked this wolf, and these branches have been reinforced, not only with the fire to roast the branches hard and bent, but also covered with a steel pipe, even if it is a sharp knife, these wolves can not be cut off.

On the other hand, these wolf soldiers, but all of them are strong and do not lose, many people also have some kung fu in their bodies, the six-style dragon flying marksmanship of the day is very skillful to use them, from time to time to find an opportunity, a milling stab, directly stabbed the wolf in front of him to death, because the spearhead is hidden in the branches and leaves, the wolf can not see the truth, often all at once, only a few rounds down, to poke to death more than 100 people, but not even a Qi family army was injured.

The birds and archers behind the wolf warriors are not idle, keep shooting arrows to the sky, these well-trained archers have mastered the relationship between arc and distance, from the sky arc an arc of arrows poured fiercely in the crowd of widows, shoot the widows without armor and less shields ghosts cry wolf howl, these Yiwu elite soldiers are strong men, the bows and arrows used are also strong bows, far from the old and weak in Nanjing City with soft bows shot by thin arrows, some bold widows still want to repeat the old tricks, with their hands to catch the arrows, But often as soon as he stretched out his hand, he shot directly through the palm of the arrow, and before he could cry out for pain, the ensuing bow and arrow opened a bloody hole in his neck or head.

The bird guns are not far behind, the muskets of the Ming army are mainly bird guns, compared to the iron cannons of the Japanese Kou are a lot worse, and it is far inferior to the frontal shooting, but in this short-handed street battlefield, it can also fully exert its power, each group of two bird guns holding the bird guns, standing beside the wolf hand, raising the bird guns in their hands, through the gap between the branches and leaves, and do not need to aim, they are fired directly at the crowded crowd on the opposite side, after the loud noise, there are always a few bloody Japanese Kou on the opposite side, and it is not uncommon to even give one or two lives.

The Japanese are not stupid, although the front row of swordsmen are not good, they have never been able to break through the obstruction of the wolf, and they keep retreating, but there are always some iron gunners who will take the opportunity to step forward and raise the iron cannon to shoot at the Ming army behind the wolf.

However, Qi Jiajun also expected this situation, beside the wolf gunner, in addition to the bird gun, there are always one or two shield holders holding thick wooden shields and iron sheets in the center, as soon as they saw that there were iron gunners wearing hats on the opposite side, they immediately blocked in front of the wolf soldiers, only to hear the sound of "ping pong" projectiles entering the shield endlessly, but none of the Qi family soldiers fell down with their guns.
