Zong Mao returned to Dinghaiwei first, and Xiao Zhiyan would not be able to return for at least a month. As for whether he will go to Meilou to look for flowers and ask Liu, this is not something that Zong Mao can ask.

The messengers and commanders of the various departments who advanced and came in and out of the gate of the Ningshao General Army's Mansion were endless. The messenger returning from the capital brought news from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji's soldiers besieged Jinzhou, and ordered Prince Heshuo Zheng Jierharang to lead a large army to build a long siege as a plan for a protracted siege. Chen Xinjia, the new secretary of the military department, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, planned the Battle of Songshan to relieve the siege of Jinzhou. The military department mobilized a total of Datong general Wang Pu, Xuanfu general Yang Guozhu, Miyun general Tang Tong, Jizhen general Bai Guangen, Dongxie general Cao Bianjiao, Shanhaiguan general Ma Ke, Qiantun guard general Wang Tingchen, Ningyuan general Wu Sangui, eight general soldiers and more than 200 generals below the deputy general, 130,000 troops, 40,000 cavalry, fire rush to help, relieve the siege of Jinzhou.

Ningjin defense line is stable, Huang Taiji bit a few times, knocked out a few front teeth, this siege of Jinzhou, still did not want to attack Jiancheng, the real intention is to besiege the city to help.

After Li Zicheng captured Luoyang, the situation in the Central Plains was no longer the same as in previous years.

"Greet the king, don't pay food!" The slogan is also rumored in the mouths of the hungry people in eastern Zhejiang. Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses quickly gathered hundreds of thousands of people, joined forces with Luo Rucai and others, and were besieging Kaifeng, and its momentum had been achieved. Chen Xinjia released Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi who had been in prison for three years, to suppress the thieves, and Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Datong, was mobilized to Henan to coordinate the defense of Kaifeng.

"The biggest wave is coming!" Zhai Zhe often woke up in the middle of the night and looked at the maps of various parts of the Ming Dynasty corresponding to the situation in the letters. Not only him, but also keen people can feel that the monstrous waves are rushing over in the peaceful Jiangnan.

On the road from Hangzhou Mansion to Dinghai, a group of more than 100 men walked and looked around curiously.

Yuan Qizhou led more than a dozen sergeants to gallop all the way, and pedestrians along the way got out of the way, and finally met Li Zhian and others who were going south at the boundary of Xiaoshan. Lu Xiangtong took a letter written by Zhai Zhe and went to the Daimyo Mansion to invite him, Li Zhian didn't say a word, and immediately contacted the remnants of the Tianxiong Army, and went south to Hangzhou along the canal in three batches, and then went to Ningbo.

The war horse neighed and stopped in front of Li Zhi'an and his party, Yuan Qizhou flew off his horse, jumped three or four steps in front of Li Zhi'an, and said: "I was supposed to go to Hangzhou Water Gate to pick you up, but the affairs of the army have been too busy recently, and I couldn't get out of it, and I almost missed a big event." ”

"It's okay, can we still find more than 100 men who can't even find Dinghaiwei?"

Yuan Qizhou waved his hand and grinned: "You people are too conspicuous, I am afraid that you will cause trouble as soon as you arrive at the Shaoxing territory." ”

"Why?"

Yuan Qizhou showed an impatient look on his face, and said: "This year's Shaoxing flood, there are hungry people gathering to make trouble, Shaoxing manager Chen Zilong arrested and beheaded a few people who took the lead in making trouble, and set up a group of armor protection in various places, Shen Lian sat law, you guys from other places to Shaoxing, I'm afraid that if you can't enter Ningbo Mansion, you will be arrested by the government." ”

Li Zhi'an's face was puzzled, "This is a good thing, why are you so irritable." ”

Yuan Qizhou snorted and replied: "I didn't say that it was not a good thing, but that Chen Zilong had a good relationship with General Zhai, and he had a famine in Shaoxing, so he didn't borrow grain from those gentry whose granaries were full, but he wanted to borrow grain from Ning Shao's General Army's Mansion, which caused trouble." ”

Li Zhi'an's face showed concern and asked, "Have you borrowed it?" ”

"Borrowed, or how to say trouble." Yuan Qizhou's brows browled downward, his facial features were tangled together, and he had a painful expression, "I was in front of the governor of Zhejiang, begging my grandfather to worship my grandmother, and I even said the words of the soldiers' lack of food riots, and I was beaten by the governor to a first-class board, and I only got three thousand stone of grain." ”

"Hahaha!" Li Zhian burst into laughter, "I see, it's really hard for you to ask for food." ”

"You're just in time!" Yuan Qizhou clapped his hands, "From now on, you will share this kind of thing for me." ”

Under the banner of Ningshao Military Town, the group showed the official document stamped with the seal of the General Military Office to the patrolling officials in Yuanqizhou, the boundary of Shaoxing, and then arrived at the Dinghai Guard. When they arrived at the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion, this group of people almost arrived with Zong Mao's front foot, and Liu Suifeng told Zhai Zhe that he had gone to Taizhou, and Yuan Qizhou could only place Li Zhi'an and others in the guard.

Summer is full of torrential rains, strong waves, and very few ships going out to sea, which is the saddest time for pirates.

In the past few months, Yang Zhigao has contacted the pirate Chen Huwei on behalf of the Ningshao General Military Office, and expressed his willingness to recruit him, so that this pirate leader who is active in the waters of eastern Zhejiang has become a sweetheart. After several months of bargaining, the official position was promoted from garrison to guerrilla general, but Chen Huwei was still not satisfied, and even wanted the position of a general, and said that he wanted the Yushan Islands opposite Taizhou to be the station.

Zhai Zhe couldn't sit still, he didn't have time to continue playing with Chen Huwei.

Taking advantage of the flood in Shaoxing Prefecture, he ordered the water division of Zhejiang Anti-Japanese Army Town to block the seaports of Ningbo, Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Jiaxing, so as to prevent grain from going to sea in the name of war. No matter where the ships are, they must be inspected by Ning Shao's sailors. He also ordered Che Feng to lead light cavalry to enter the Taizhou Haimen Guard, and Meng Kang led the cavalry to enter Ninghai to cooperate with Zhang Mingzhen, a guerrilla general in Shipu, to strictly defend the sea lane.

Only half a month later, Chen Huwei asked Taizhou to make an appointment to meet Zhai Zhe. Yang Zhigao led the way, and Zhai Zhe ordered 20 capable soldiers in the water division, and led Fang Jin and other 100 soldiers to Taozhu, Taizhou Mansion, which was only a few dozen miles away from the small fishing village of Lianpan.

The guard of the Taozhu Guardhouse, Mr. Qian, received him carefully and found a few local soldiers to lead the way. Taizhou has many small fishing villages along the coast of Taizhou, and many of the small fishing villages here are linked to pirates, and there are often young people who cannot make a living by the sea to fall into the arms of pirates. Zhai Zhe easily understood this law, and it was no different from the Han people who came out of the north as horse thieves. If they have the capital, they are also willing to transform into maritime businessmen, which may be why Chen Huwei wanted to invite Yang Zhigao to join the gang in the first place.

The vigilance of the pirates was very high, Yang Zhigao was afraid of the premise, and was in a dilemma, saying: "My lord, Chen Huwei is cunning, only bring a few dozen sergeants and don't accidentally fall into his ambush, but if you bring more soldiers and horses, you are afraid that he will run away." ”

Zhai Zhe wore civilian clothes, not even armor, only a waist knife, and said with a smile: "Lend Chen Huwei a courage, he will not dare to kill the chief soldier of the imperial court." ”

When he mixed up with that kind of Cheng dù outside the Saiwai, he monopolized and killed Hukou Shangdao, and still wanted to join the imperial court, what is a pirate with only more than 1,000 subordinates. For example, Zheng Zhilong also became the chief soldier of Fujian, and slowly monopolized the trade between the Fujian Sea and the South Seas. What Chen Huwei wants is just an independent business identity, otherwise he will always be a rootless tree floating on the sea.

stayed overnight in Taozhu, and in the early morning of the next day, Zhai Zhe asked ten guards who were familiar with the road to lead the way, and only took Yang Zhigao and thirty others to the small fishing village of Lianpan.

When they walked to the middle of the day, everyone climbed a stone mountain, the grass and trees on both sides of the mountain road were overgrown, and the opposite side of the lush mountain forest was the boundless sea, and the blue waves were leisurely afraid of hitting the reef on the shore. The small fishing village is under a cliff four or five miles from the mountain road, and there are seven or eight small fishing boats moored on the shore.

"In a place like this, there are many underwater reefs, and large ships cannot pass through, so they can only enter and exit by small boats, and pirates often choose this place as a stronghold to prevent the officers and soldiers from killing them." Yang Zhigao pointed to the front and explained. He wore a strong suit, a piece of chain armor, and a scimitar on his waist, and he had already made a plan in his heart, if Chen Huwei made a mistake, he would fight to the death to protect the general soldier from leaving.

Zhai Zhe stood on the top of the mountain and looked down for a while, and ordered the two guards to report the news first.

Yang Zhigao leaned on the slippery big stone and said with a wry smile: "Chen Huwei is still good to the people of Taizhou, I went against his will in front of him back then, and he didn't kill me!" I don't know whether this sentence is a compliment or a derogation. The chief soldier came here in person, and it seemed that Chen Huwei's thoughts on recruiting An were very urgent, and his sesame-sized grudge would naturally be revealed.

"Chen Huwei is strong?"

"Hmm!" Yang Zhigao flashed a trace of fear, nodded and said: "The Zhejiang Sea pirate Gu San Mazi and Chen Huwei are famous, but the people of Taizhou are fierce, Chen Huwei's subordinates can fight, Gu San Mazi should be smarter and have more friends." ”

The two waited here for more than half an hour, and saw that the guards who came down the mountain were blocked by two men from the village, and after a while, a column of sturdy men with bare tops came out of the village, looking in the direction of the top of the mountain and beckoning.

Zhai Zhe glanced at it, turned around and hid in the shade of the tree.

After another quarter of an hour or so, the two guards went up the hill with a thin man of about forty or fifty years of age, with a goatee on his chin and a twinkle in his eyes.

"Meet the Chief Soldier!" As soon as the man saw him, he knelt down and saluted.

"Why didn't Chen Huwei come to pick it up in person?"

"The leader heard that the chief soldier was visiting, and he is preparing some seafood in the village, so I can come to receive it."

"Get up!" Zhai Zhe put his hands behind his back.

"Please come with me, sir!" The man got up and led the way, leading Zhai Zhe and the others down the mountain, looking back from time to time on the way to see how many soldiers Zhai Zhe had brought.

After going down the mountain, the road was full of potholes and sharp stones, Zhai Zhe's steps were steady, his demeanor was light and light, Fang Jin and other personal soldiers were vigilant and observed the surroundings, and the Qi knife on his waist was sharpened early.

When he was more than 300 steps away from the entrance of the village, he heard the sound of "Kuang" in the village, and two rows of sturdy men rushed out of it, lined up on both sides. The upper half of his body was undressed, revealing his sleek and dark skin, and he had a long knife pinned to his waist.

Zhai Zhe stopped moving, and finally walked out of it A man in a coarse cloth shirt, with a scar on his face near his ear, and the placket on his chest was half open, revealing half of his black chest hair.

"Under Chen Huwei, meet the chief soldier!" When speaking, Chen Huwei bowed slightly, but did not kneel.

"Why don't you kneel!" Zhai Zhe's voice was very soft, like a sea breeze blowing on his face.

Chen Huwei hesitated for a moment, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "Meet the Chief Soldier." ”

"You have been in danger of Zhehai for many years, I think your subordinates are pitiful, and give you a way to live, why are you so ignorant." Zhai Zhe walked in front of Chen Huwei in a few steps, and Fang Jin and the others behind him quickly followed, forcing Chen Huwei not to stand up.

"We have no choice but to go to the sea as a thief, if you agree to my conditions, you will naturally work for the court." Chen Huwei was rough and rude, and his words were direct, completely reckless.

"Huh, promise your terms?" Zhai Zhe snorted lightly, "Why are you negotiating terms with me?" ”

"If you don't agree, someone else can accept me!" Chen Huwei actually straightened his waist on his own.

Zhai Zhe tapped his forehead, and Fang Jin flashed out from behind him, holding a handcuff in his hand, shouting: "Kneel!" ”

The mouth of the black hole was against Chen Huwei's head, his face changed, he often mixed in the sea, of course he knew what it was, the big boss of the Zheng clan in Minhai was used, this kind of firearm imported from the West could be shot without ignition, but the price was extremely expensive.

Beads of sweat broke out on Chen Huwei's head, his teeth creaked, and the subordinates in the queue behind him were flustered, but they didn't dare to move.

Zhai Zhe stood there and watched Chen Huwei kneel at his feet again.

"Huang Binqing?" Zhai Zhehuan put his arms on his chest, "Give you half a month's time, fifteen days later, lead your troops to go ashore in Shipu, I will give you a garrison position, if you can fight bravely to kill the enemy, of course you have a chance to be promoted, otherwise, wait to bury yourself in Zhehai." ”

"Remember, Zhehai is mine!" After saying this, Zhai Zhe turned around and walked back on the road.

It wasn't until Zhai Zhe walked two hundred steps away that Fang Jin put away his handcuff and quickly followed.

Chen Huwei got up from the ground, and the little minions behind him swarmed up, surrounding him, watching Zhai Zhe and the others leave.
