Daci Mountain in the southwest of Hangzhou.

The mountains and forests are quiet, the spring water is murmuring, the Tiger Run Dream Spring is one of the four famous springs of the Ming Dynasty, and then it is paired with the Longjing tea of the West Lake, which is a suitable place for leisure.

The leaves of the mountains are full of yellowish, and the leaves are still green, and a gust of wind blows, and there is a "rustling" sound in the ears.

In the remote meditation room in the corner of Hupao Temple, two people dressed as scribes sit cross-legged opposite each other. Judging from the back, these two people are very strong, which is very different from the ordinary literati who step on the autumn. Seeing each other again after half a year, the change in the identities of Zhai Zhe and Xu Du made the atmosphere of this quiet meditation room a little awkward.

On the tea seat in the middle, the boiling water emitted steam upwards, Zhai Zhe put his hands on his knees, and through the water vapor, he saw that Xu was busy on the other side.

Xu Du's fingers are very thick, and the joints are protruding, and it seems that he has put a lot of effort into practicing on weekdays. But--, Zhai Zhe still remembers the scene when he ambushed the Chahar scout for the first time with Xiao Zhiyan, even if you practice kung fu well, you haven't experienced the tempering of the battlefield, it is still useless in the embroidered pillow.

The rough fingers touched the outside of the translucent white porcelain cup, and the sound came out like two pieces of gravel rubbing. Xu Du's movements were very skillful, but there was always some incongruity in Zhai Zhe's eyes.

"Mr. Zhai, if I do something, will you help me?" Xu Du pushed a porcelain cup in front of Zhai Zhe, but his eyes looked at the tea tray and he didn't dare to look up.

That's a stupid question! Zhai Zhe sighed in his heart and asked, "What would Gongzi Xu do if he sat in my position?" ”

Xu Du didn't answer for a long time, the silence in the meditation room was palpitating, and the wind gently beat on the wood.

"If the chief soldier of Zhai is willing to be in charge, he will be the master of the general soldier, and the king of Chuang has occupied the Central Plains and the time has come to change the dynasty!" Xu Du's voice was excited, "Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and syrup, open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay food when he comes." ”

Zhai Zhe looked at the leader of the white-headed army opposite, and his heart was both amused and sad. Xu Du was born as an official eunuch, and he wanted to embark on the road of rebellion, and he couldn't get out of Li Zicheng's slogans. If you don't pay for food, what will the army eat? What about military salaries? Someone has to be unlucky.

"You don't need to do anything, just the things you have done recently, the officers and soldiers will not let you go." Zhai Zhe showed anger.

In the past two months, the Baitou army lurking in the Quzhou mountain road has become more and more arrogant, no longer robbing the merchants who come and go according to Ji Hong's news, and the killings and goods have frequently appeared. Zhai Zhe had ordered Ji Hong to temporarily cut off the continuity with the Baitou Army, so Xu Du made an appointment to meet him in Hupao Temple.

"Is there any news from the governor's yamen?" Xu Du's voice trembled, "It's not my wish to kill those merchants, and it is inevitable that there will be times when you miss in the looting." ”

"Killed twenty-two people last month, doubled this month, almost fifty people, not only killed Fujian people, but also Zhejiang people, you really think that this Jiangnan land is eroding the Central Plains!" Zhai Zhe reprimanded sharply.

"So what, how can you do things without killing people!" Xu Du said a word, but then his voice slowly softened. This matter is indeed his fault and violates the agreement with Zhai Zhe. But the rebels are like this, how many of them strictly control military discipline? They are all mountain people who can't survive, and if they can't get benefits, who will follow him on the road of rebellion.

Zhai Zhe sneered, "That's good, you go back and prepare to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the official army." ”

"You can't come!" Xu Du patted the teahouse, "You can't come to encircle me!" He had heard of the deeds of five hundred soldiers under Zuo Ruo's command who killed Qiu Lingxiao, and knew that those troops of the Baitou Army were by no means the opponents of those tiger and wolf divisions under Zhai Zhe.

"Why?" Zhai Zhe seemed to be smiling.

"If you come, I will make all the things that have happened between you and me in the past few years public." Xu Du's face was hideous.

Zhai Zhe took a sip of tea and fell into deep thought. There are two general soldiers in Zhejiang, one is Fang Guoan, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, and the other is Zhai Zhe, the chief soldier of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese army. Because Li Zicheng was biased and committed Fengyang Town, Fang Guoan's army was transferred north to garrison Nanjing. Zhai Zhe was in the eastern part of Zhejiang, and he was responsible for guarding the Zhejiang Sea, and he was only in office, so he was able to stay in Ningshao and not move.

"If I don't come, those people in the white-headed army can't resist the officers and soldiers. The things you do right now will not provoke a large army to encircle and suppress you, at most you will be the pacesetter of the supervision battalion. But if you want to do something, I'm afraid you can't be as hasty as this, and once you dispatch, you should be like nine thunders. ”

Zhai Zhe's words surprised Xu Du, "Will you be on my side?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhai Zhe sighed, "I have the emperor's grace, so I can't do such disloyal things, but today, it is true that the people are not living well." ”

The embarrassed look was piled up on his face, and he felt sick for a while, he had already embarked on the inevitable path of a military general, following behind Zuo Liangyu. The government is not yet out of control, but it is not far from getting out of control, Zuo Liangyu has been so domineering that he does not listen to the dispatch, who will be next?

There were some words that the two of them tacitly understood, and Zhai Zhe's hesitant attitude made Xu Du feel a little more at ease.

"It's useless for you to see me, I heard that it was your friend Chen Zilong who went to Quzhou Mansion to kill the Baitou Army this time." Zhai Zhe revealed a little news.

"It's him!" Xu Du gasped, not knowing whether he was happy or worried. Ten years of old friends, they want to meet each other in battle.

"If there is any need, you know how to tell me, between you and me, if you are not forced to do so in the future, don't meet again." Zhai Zhe stood up.

Xu Du got up closely, and watched Zhai Zhe open the wooden door of the meditation room and walk out leisurely.

Fang Jin was guarding outside the gate of Hupao Temple, and Zong Mao, who was dressed as a merchant at the foot of the mountain, waited for a long time with a few personal soldiers in a carriage.

From the time when the power of the Baitou Army expanded, Xu Du had no second way to go, he didn't want to go, and his inflated subordinates would push him away. But the chaos in Quzhou Mansion is the best news for Zhai Zhe, so that the business from Ningbo Mansion to Xiamen Port will prosper for a while.

After getting off Daci Mountain, Zhai Zhe got into the carriage and hurried to Ningbo Mansion.

Judging from Xu Du's appearance, he was still hesitating, Chen Zilong supervised the patrol of the standard camp to collect less than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and the two sides should have a tug-of-war for a while. The mountains and forests from Quzhou to Xianxia Pass are enough for the officers and soldiers to endure for a while, and if they can survive until winter, they will have to toss at least next year. Zhai Zhe didn't know how much of a storm the Baitou Army could set off, but he never wanted Xu Du to be vulnerable.

The carriage was running very fast, and it was a bit bumpy to sit in the car. All the way non-stop, when I arrived at the boundary of Shaoxing and Ningbo, it was late at night.

Fang Jin went to the stable to set up the horses, Zong Mao followed Zhai Zhe to the door of the General Soldier's Mansion and was about to say goodbye, Zhai Zhe stretched out his hand to greet, "Zong Mao, you come with me." ”

The soldiers held the lamp, and the study was covered with a layer of orange bright color.

"Your Excellency!" Zong Mao stood in front of Zhai Zhe, he had a beard on his chin, and he looked older than his actual age.

When Zhai Zhe looked up, he saw Zong Mao's appearance, and suddenly realized that all the personal soldiers around him had slowly grown up, Ji Hong gave birth to a daughter last year, and Zong Mao also had a son. After leaving the grassland, he never found such talents as Zong Mao and Feng Qin, and even if there were such talents, they would not be of use to him.

"You are looking for an opportunity to sell some firearms and armor to the Baitou Army, they have recently robbed a lot of merchants, and they should have some money to spare."

"Yes!"

"Don't follow the path of the business alliance, don't leave traces, even if others know that we did it, we must not leave evidence."

"Hmm!" Zong Mao nodded.

After waiting for a while, Zong Mao saw that Zhai Zhe had nothing to do, and saw that the night was dark, and he was about to say goodbye and leave. Zhai Zhe leaned closer to the lights and suddenly asked, "You have been in Jiangnan for more than half a year, and you have frequent interactions with scholars, how do you feel about here?" ”

Zong Mao thought for a long time, and said sharply: "There is really no difference between a scholar and a ****!" "It's really in line with his character.

Zhai Zhe was interested in looking at the soldiers in front of him. He also said the same thing a few years ago, talking about the Jin merchants in Dongkou, and now he sees that the vast majority of people in the world are no different from ****.

"Jiangnan Shizi is also the most restored, among the thousands of people, there are only dozens of people who can understand the world, and the rest are chasing fame and fortune." Zong Mao pondered for a moment and said what the Chinese side of the Hefang meeting said that day.

"The four sons of the Restoration Society, who are the best among them, can be taken as an example. Chen Zhenhui only understands poetry and writing, and does not know the world. Mao Xiang's father was appointed by the imperial court as Zuo Liangyu's supervisor, and because he was afraid of Zuo Liangyu's dominance, he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to seek not to take office, and his loyalty and patriotism on weekdays were left behind. Hou Fangyu's father was imprisoned in Beijing City Prison for four or five years, and he searched for flowers and willows by the Qinhuai River, without delay at all. is the only one who is wise, and he is still a little talented and bone-like. ”

"That's what Fang Yizhi really said!" Zhai Zhe's eyes lit up.

"Exactly. Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi went to the capital to participate in the meeting together, and they are a bit of a capable scholar, and they are still running to the imperial court! Although Zong Mao expressed the approval of the other party's Yizhi, he still disdainful in his tone.

Zhai Zhe took out two books from the desk and said, "There are many scholars who seek fame and reputation, but there are still many talents. These two books are compiled by Chen Zilong, the manager of Shaoxing, one is "Huangming Jingshiwen Compilation", and the other is the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" by the predecessor Xu Gelao. ”

Zong Mao bowed down and reached out to take it.

"Chen Zilong, a masterpiece, originally did not want to be an official, but because of the erosion of the government, he couldn't sit still at home before he came back. This year's Shaoxing flood can see his talent. Young people like Fang Yizhi will be able to achieve the great climate after tempering. Zhai Zhe seemed to sigh, "It is such a person who does not use power and money to **** his side." ”

Zong Mao was silent, although his tone was arrogant, in fact, the other party Yizhi and the others still admired it in their hearts.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and Zhai Zhe waved his hand and said, "You go back and rest!" ”

Zong Mao cautiously exited the room and closed the wooden door, leaving Zhai Zhe alone. In the past two years in Jiangnan, Zhai Zhe hid his only edge, and only left the waist knife given to him by Duke Lu to remind him not to forget his heart.

"In the government, there is no boundary between black and white, only what you want to do. If you want to turn things around, the sword is indispensable, but the hearts of the scholars and the people are also indispensable. You can only use your strength to expand your strength first. ”
