"That Haonan!"

The two immediately recognized each other, and Na Haonan suddenly shouted: "Someone!" Take them down! ”

When Liu Erhei was still stunned, Na Haonan had already made a move. Undoubtedly, since Ma Sigong, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, came to see Deng Haonan, it was certain that the good man would not come.

The guards drew their swords and swarmed up. The group surrounded Liu Erhei and others.

Liu Er's dark voice was not good, and he shouted and moved. The soldiers around him immediately drew their swords and rushed towards Na Haonan.

However, Di Haonan had already taken more than a dozen steps back, and three rows of guards had already been blocked in front of him, where could the enemy be allowed to approach.

Liu Erhei brought five people, but Ding Da Niu arranged as many as 100 open sentries, secret sentry and mobile sentry posts in the courtyard.

Liu Erhei and the six of them swung their knives and fought with the guards, thinking that it would be easy to deal with, but after one or two rounds, it was difficult to take advantage. If you talk about fighting alone, the elites under Deng Haonan may not be the opponents of Liu Erhei and other Jianghu people, but Di Haonan has many people on his side and cooperates with the battle. Liu Erhei slashed down with one sword, and five or six knives opened it from all directions, and he couldn't take advantage of it at all.

To make matters worse, the whistle blew and a large number of gun-wielding guards poured out of the corridors around the front yard.

Liu Erhei had never seen an army that reacted so quickly, and he suddenly shouted that it was not good, and shouted in secret words to retreat.

The kung fu of the six people is really high, and if you can't beat it, you can run. What made Di Haonan dumbfounded was that they really did it and cut a few knives respectively. Break through the guards and jump to the courtyard walls around you.

Bang bang bang!

The guards in the hallway immediately opened fire, hitting the two Assassins who had not yet gained a foothold. One of them died instantly, and the other fell into the hospital with injuries.

Liu Erhei was anxious, looking at his companion who was not dead, he wanted to save but didn't dare to go down to save him, so he had to shout fiercely: "Deng Haonan, we will meet again!" ”

After saying that, Liu Erhei fled with the rest of the wolf bèi, and Ding Daniu led the guards to rush out to find the guests to chase and release the guns along the street, which immediately caused the whole street to jump and people panic.

It wasn't until Liu Erhei and the others disappeared without a trace that Ding Daniu gave up.

In the courtyard, the living assassin had been escorted to Di Haonan by the five flowers.

"Who are you? Why did you assassinate the magistrate? ”

The man glanced at Deng Haonan and suddenly laughed out loud. When Na Haonan was about to wonder, Feng Shaoyan next to him suddenly rushed out and pinched the man's chin. However, it was still a step too late, and the man had already bitten the poison sac in his mouth.

Di Haonan was dumbfounded, the plot he had seen on TV before was now really born in front of him, and that feeling was very depressing.

Na Haonan sighed, waved his hand very unhappily, and motioned for his subordinates to drag the corpse away.

Liu Erhei obviously went straight to the inn without investigating beforehand. Then his intention was obviously to come for the secret kept by the Feng family.

Feng Ping had committed suicide, and Liu Erhei couldn't get any information from him, so he could only take risks to test the truth of Na Haonan. Unexpectedly, the two had already known each other, and as a result, Liu Erhei's Ji Ge went bankrupt.

Then, Liu Erhei is a person in the rivers and lakes. Which force does he belong to?

The journey of treasure hunting has always been dangerous. And there is more than one force involved. Fortunately, Na Haonan didn't regard treasure hunting as a matter of Yue, so he simply pinched the treasure clues, used the clues as bait, and fished them to take the bait, maybe he could get more information from the enemy.

Just thinking about it, there was a noise outside the inn, and a guard came to report, and Ma Sigong, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, rushed to check the situation when he heard the gunshots.

That Haonan smiled, this time it should be true!

That's right! This time it's true! Di Haonan could see it from Ma Sigong's changing expression.

Ma Sigong had the posture of the emperor's boss and his second child before, but when he saw Di Haonan's official seal, he suddenly changed to another face.

This Ma Sigong is not a soft bone, but it is not a hard bone. Historically, he stuck to Zunhua. Resist the onslaught of shoes, and only when finally isolated and helpless, did Kaicheng surrender. Compared to the Ming Dynasty officials who surrendered without resistance, he was not bad. But compared to the unyielding Ming officials, he is still a lot behind.

No one is perfect, and it is impossible for everyone to be Yingya, in that case, human beings would have been extinct long ago.

"I don't know if the adults are far away, but the adults are not in Liaodong, how"

Na Haonan stretched out his hand and pulled out half of Shang Fang's treasure carving, revealing the Shang Fang's sword engraved on the sword.

Word.

Ma Sigong, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, saw that it was Shang Fang's sword, and immediately jumped.

"Business trip!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ma Sigong nodded repeatedly. Knowing that the official with Shang Fang's sword was either a messenger or a secret envoy, he couldn't afford to provoke him, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he said: "My lord naturally does big things!" I don't know if there will be any use for the end, please don't be polite! ”

Na Haonan nodded, and then asked: "There were assassins who assassinated the official just now, and one of them seems to be named Liu Erhei, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

"Liu Erhei?" Ma Sigong hurriedly nodded and said, "Lord Qiyu, this Liu Erhei is a key criminal in the imperial court, and it has been more than ten years, and he is still at large!" ”

Criminals?

Na Haonan asked suspiciously: "Why the compilation?" ”

Ma Sigong said: "It is said that he is one of the leaders of the cult! ”

Cult leader?

There was a big question mark in Na Haonan's mind again.

From Ma Sigong's mouth, it was learned that Liu Erhei was probably a member of the White Lotus Sect, a cult organization in the Ming Dynasty. It may also be the remnants of Mingjiao during the Hongwu period. In a word, the organization behind Liu Erhei is very mysterious, it is against the Ming Dynasty, and it is an enemy

White Lotus Sect?

This Deng Haonan had heard that as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, because the White Lotus Sect had not yet departed from the orthodox Buddhist direction on the whole, it was still tolerated by the rulers. In the Yuan Dynasty, due to the different places of the people of various classes in the church, there were obvious differences in the pursuit of goals. One faction regarded itself as an authentic descendant of Mao Ziyuan, inherited the mantle of Mao Ziyuan in religious doctrine and practice, and cooperated with the Yuan ruler in politics; The other faction completely betrayed Mao Ziyuan's purpose of advocating religion and was in line with the lower class popular movement. embarked on the road of rebellion against the Yuan regime. In the eleventh year of Emperor Shun's reign, the government of the Yuan Dynasty forcibly conscripted people to block the mouth of the Yellow River, which led to a nationwide uprising of the White Lotus Sect. The rebel army began with "Maitreya was born, and King Ming was born." Call to action. It received a positive response from the broad masses of people who could not bear the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and quickly swept the country. In August of the 28th year of Zheng, the Ming army invaded the capital of present-day Beijing and overthrew the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang is well aware of the significance of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion, and he is calling himself "the king of the Ming Dynasty." After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, he immediately promulgated a ban on taking the persimmon White Lotus Sect. However, the White Lotus Sect did not completely disappear because of this, and after the integration of the north and south in the early Ming Dynasty, it appeared to spread secretly

Condition.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus disciples rebelled almost one after another. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was an uprising led by Xu Hongru and Wang Haoxian, which was later suppressed and suppressed by the governors Zhao Yan and Yuan Keli. After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the White Lotus disciples often put the interests of the nation first, and advocated "the return of the sun and the moon." "Raising the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty was forbidden by the Qing court's strict punishment and strict laws. During the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, the White Lotus Sect's anti-Qing and Ming restoration activities never stopped.

Na Haonan smiled bitterly, this White Lotus Sect is a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, whoever encounters it has a headache.

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has strictly forbidden the White Lotus Sect. During the Hongwu and Yongle periods, there were many armed riots of the White Lotus cultists in Hubei, Jiangxi, Lu and other places. Some also built emperors, but they were all suppressed. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were many names for folk religion. There are dozens of kinds such as Jin Chan, Wuwei, Longhua, Wukong, Huanyuan, Yuandun, Hongyang, Maitreya, Jingkong, Dacheng, Sanyang, Mixed Source, Wenxiang, Luodao, etc. Some teach several names. They don't belong to each other. There are many differences in doctrines and rituals, and the gods believed in are extremely complex, including the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace, the Yama King of Hell, the sages of the world, and so on. The most revered is Maitreya Buddha. Since the Zhengde period, there has been a chongnian for the childless mother, and there is a "vacuum hometown, no childless mother." The so-called eight-character mantra. Allegedly. The lifeless old mother is an ancient Buddha who has no birth and no death. She wants to save her earthly children and return to the heavenly realm, which is the vacuum home. Each sect has its own scriptures, called treasure scrolls. The rulers believed that these different sects were still in fact White Lotus, and the people also called them in general terms as White Lotus.

The White Lotus Sect has a very good market among the people, so Deng Haonan doesn't want to have anything to do with them.

Defeated Ma Sigong, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, and Na Haonan ordered his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance.

If Deng Haonan is a treasure hunter, then the White Lotus Sect and Wei Zhongxian, they are both treasure hunters, at least for now, there have been three forces, as for how many people and forces will be involved in it in the future. Na Haonan didn't think about it anymore.

Deng Haonan knew in his heart that the most anxious person should not be himself, but the person who grabbed the treasure, obviously they have been plotting for a long time. What Deng Haonan has to do now is to honestly return to his nest and quietly wait for them to show their fox tail.

Early the next morning, Deng Haonan and his party left the inn.

Yesterday's series of actions made Yanyun Inn the focus of public opinion, and the people and merchants in the streets and alleys stayed nearby to watch the excitement intentionally or unintentionally.

On the second-floor attic opposite the Yanyun Inn, a window was gently pushed open, and Deng Haonan and the others who were riding away happened to be seen through the gap.

A man and a woman stood in front of the window, the woman dressed in white and veiled, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. The man next to him was Liu Erhei, who escaped yesterday. At this time, Liu Erhei's right arm was wrapped in a bandage, and it was obvious that he had hung up the color yesterday.

No matter how high the kung fu is, it is useless to touch the gun.

"He is Deng Haonan!"

Liu Erhei pointed to the crowd below, and the woman in white glanced at Deng Haonan who left below.

"I think I've heard his name somewhere?"

"One of the Apocalypse Heroes!" Liu Erhei said: "Originally, the predecessor of Liaodong Economic Strategy Li Xiaoqi was also one of them, but because he was a eunuch eunuch. The people and friends in the rivers and lakes do not recognize him. So only Deng Haonan and Yuan Chonghuan were left. This Na Hao Nan has been in the limelight recently, and the great victory of Ningyuan and Jinzhou has made him tired of being the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the left squire of the military department, the first-class loyal and brave uncle, the opening of Liaodong, and the governor of Nanyang. Holding military and political power, he commanded the two armies of 6 water. Impressive! ”

Liu Erhei's remarks made the woman in white very surprised and glanced at Deng Haonan again.

"It's just sixteen or seventeen years old, and it's really amazing to sit in such a big official!"

Liu Erhei said: "He is a legend. Flood Banner had a firearms deal with his Nanyang sailors. Zheng Zhilong's Beigang merchant gang was sacked by him, so in the south, his name is equally loud." The woman in white said: "If this son can be used by my sect, it will definitely be a huge help to the sect master's grand cause!" ”

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" Liu Erhei said: "His subordinates have talked to him, and he is not a person who sends people under the fence."

The woman in white said: "Everyone always has his weakness, find it and make good use of it!" If you can't use it for me, then you're a potential enemy! ”

The woman in white said with a cold look in her eyes: "All the stumbling blocks that stand in the way of the great cause of this religion are all necessary."

Then he asked, "Are you sure he pried Feng Ping's mouth open?" ”

"Yes!" Liu Erhei said: "He was the only one who guessed the anagram, and he was secretly received by Feng Ping. After he left, Feng Ping committed suicide, which shows that the secret that Feng Ping guarded had been told to Na Haonan

The woman in white nodded and asked, "Is there any of us in Golden State?" ”

Liu Erhei shook his head and said: "Liaodong has been cleaned by Lezi, and there are not many people left, and our previous branch in Liaodong has long been withdrawn!" ”

"That's to send someone?"

"Yes!"

"I'll take care of it!" The woman in white said: "Now that Zheng Zhilong is sitting in the south, it is our biggest threat, you send an order to the flood banner, and ask them to communicate more with Na Haonan's Nanyang sailors, and it is best to let Na Haozhi fight with Zheng Zhilong." Even if Deng Haonan can't be used by me, his subordinates can't be monolithic, there will always be soft bones."

"My subordinates understand!" Liu Erhei received the order and asked again: "It's just that Deng Haonan's Nanyang sailors are all in the north, and he doesn't plan to go south depending on his posture." The woman in white nodded and said, "I'll figure it out!" ”

※※

Na Haonan and his entourage went out of Jizhou Town, rode their horses and whips along the official road next to the Tian River, and arrived at Leting at noon.

The mouth of the drifting river was in Leting, and when Deng Haonan and his party arrived, they saw a huge warship moored on the sea from a distance. The Black Pearl was ordered to come and respond, along with five frigates and one troop carrier.

At this time, the beach was already full of boats that received Di Haonan. Major Shi Jianfei, commander of the convoy, and Major Xue Muhua, captain of the Black Pearl, have been waiting on the shore for a long time.

Boarding the Black Pearl, Na Haonan's body and mind were completely relaxed. Huge battleships. That sense of security is unquestionable.

Gao Feng, Feng Shaoyan and Hai Lanzhu were all on such a large battleship for the first time, and they were very curious and amazed for a while. Especially Hai Lanzhu, the first time I saw the sea and the first time I took a boat, I was very excited. The Black Pearl was full of men. At this time, there was a beautiful woman, and she suddenly became the focus.

However, while Hailanzhu became a beautiful scenery on the Black Pearl, Deng Haonan was listening to Shi Jianfei and Xue Muhua's simple report on what had happened in the past half a month.

Great results for the Golden State region. Deng Haonan felt very relieved, but when he learned that there was an imminent food shortage, Deng Haonan suddenly became nervous.

Undoubtedly, under the influence of the Xiaoice climate, Daming will have a food crisis that will last for 30 years, which not only has a huge impact on the Ming Dynasty and associated bad effects, but also sounded the alarm for Deng Xunan.

Food will always be a world issue. It was not possible to solve it until the afterlife of Ta.

In the Ming Dynasty, future unrest and large-scale peasant uprisings were directly related to food. Similarly, if Na Haonan wants to gain a foothold, he must first solve the food problem.

Shi Jianfei said: "When Lin Feng and the others had a meeting yesterday, Qian Shun once proposed to rob the grain of the Xinguo and cut off the trade route between Zheng Zhilong and the Weiguo. However, because of this, he had to go to war directly with Zheng Zhilong, and the matter was very important, and Lin Feng couldn't decide. It just so happens that you're back, so they're all waiting for you to go back and make the final verdict."

Di Haonan understands that the only way to get food in a short time is to resort to force, but North Korea cannot rob it, because that will push North Korea into the arms of Houjin. Ryukyu and the kingdom of Ryukyu can be robbed, but there is not much food in Ryukyu, and there is not much to rob. The robbery of the grain of the country requires the mobilization of a huge navy and the 6th Army, and the consequences of the war are unpredictable.

With the gradual implementation of the policy of seclusion and seclusion, in the sixth year of the second year of Yuanhe, the ships of other countries except the Ming Dynasty could only trade in Hirado and Nagasaki. Kanei locked for three years, and the country broke off diplomatic relations with Spain, and the following year broke off diplomatic relations with the Netherlands, and only traded with the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, and the Ryukyus.

In such a scene, the merchant ships of Spain and the Netherlands could not enter the country, and there was no trade profit. With Zheng Zhilong's strength, the plundering warships of the Netherlands and Spain withdrew from the territorial waters of the country. In the third year of Kanei, the province abolished the naval divisions in other regions, and only the few defensive forces of Nagasaki and Hirado were retained.

Therefore, in terms of naval warfare with the country, Na Haonan is not worried. Na Haonan was worried about Zheng Zhilong's intervention from the sea, according to expectations, Zheng Zhilong's exhibition at this time was already very large, and he was a difficult opponent.

Na Haonan and Zheng Zhilong both understand each other's strength, and unless necessary, the two will not fight directly. If you want to destroy Zheng Zhilong, unless Na Haonan's strength is far superior to Zheng Zhilong, or when the war starts, you find Zheng Zhilong's weakness and fight a decisive battle. Apparently. The former is the route of insurance, and the latter is purely by luck.

If it weren't for the Chao Gang and the Lu Gang watching from the sidelines, Deng Haonan might have started a war with Zheng Zhilong a long time ago. But now there are concerns, the two tigers will be injured when they fight, and the cheaper one can only be Lu Banghe

Help.

The food crisis is imminent, and the plan to loot the country has already been understood in Na Haonan's heart, and now the question is how to deal with the pressure from Zheng Zhilong's side.

Looks like you need to set up a trap for fighting tigers!

Looking at the blue sea, a smile rose at the corner of Deng Haonan's mouth, and a new plan number came to mind

Thank you Mr. Shuyou Tiger for voting for the valuable monthly pass! Special thanks to the generous reward of the big fool in the water! ，F
