Section 29 Undercurrents

On the twelfth day of the seventh month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Changsheng Island: "This is a detailed list of Jiannu lurking in my Changsheng Island, please take a look." Zhao Slowxiong handed Huang Shi a page of the report, which listed more than two dozen men and women, six of whom had infiltrated the Immortal Island, and the remaining dozen or so people were all from these detailed works, and each of them had their names followed by their positions.

Huang Shi carefully looked at the people who did not invade the vital position, and he put down the list with satisfaction: "Well, what about our people?"

"Please take a look at the list of our personnel. Zhao Slow-Xiong handed over a thick report with more than 80 names recorded, among which there were all kinds of people who served in various key departments such as internal security, military intelligence, military law, and teaching teams, and about 10% of them were military officers.

"Most of these people are acting alone, and they don't know our entire intelligence network. For half a year, Huangshi has been letting Zhao Slow-Xiong preside over the internal security intelligence work, and Zhao Slow-Xiong believes that Changsheng Island is so big and the military regulations are so strict, so there must be countless people who have opinions about the regulations, and Zhang Zaidi's original confessional record of the church fully supports Zhao Slow-bear's views.

In Zhao Slowxiong's view, these people who have complaints in their hearts can't completely eliminate Changsheng Island, and they can't stop the officers and soldiers from complaining a few words, but these people who like to complain are potential people who are easily bought by the enemy. Therefore, Zhao Slow-Xiong fabricated one opposition group after another, and these groups expressed their dissatisfaction with the various policies of Changsheng Island.

"No matter how well you do your things and how thoughtful you are, there will always be some people who are not satisfied. And as long as they are long enough, they will form small groups with a common language. subordinates thought. Rather than waiting for them to form a group on their own, it is better for us to make it, which is also easier to control. Zhao said when he proposed the whole idea to Huangshi. Huang Shi was very appreciative of this idea, and the so-called flood jamming was better than flood discharge to prevent trouble before it happened, and most of the officers and men who were dissatisfied with it were just a few complaints. In addition to loyalty, patriotism, and Catholicism, there is nothing wrong with having one more institution that listens to complaints.

In addition to being too slow, Zhao's guerrilla business ability is still very strong. Now that a virtual rebellion group has been established on Changsheng Island, the group of people who have attacked the marriage, military law and other regulations established by Huangshi the most are actually the internal lines of the Military Intelligence Department of Changsheng Island. Zhao Slow-Xiong gave this virtual internal rebel group a code name called "Werewolf on Immortal Island".

After the "Werewolf of Changsheng Island" group was formed, Zhao Slowxiong quickly used it to observe some suspicious characters, who were all particularly active elements, not only actively contacting the complaining officers and soldiers, but also always wanting to act as their confidants and listeners.

"It's wonderful, it's very Jiannu's meticulous work, and now it's basically in our hands. As he spoke, Huang Shi looked through another piece of Zhao Slowxiong's information. Inside is the information that the Military Intelligence Department of Changsheng Island is preparing to reveal to the Houjin side. Zhao Slow-Xiong and Li Yunrui painstakingly dismantled a large amount of information into scattered fragments, and then revealed them to different people.

These bits and pieces may eventually be summed up on Houjin's side, and Zhao Slow-Xiong intends to let his opponent play a jigsaw puzzle, and the complete military information that he believes is too easy to obtain is easy to be suspicious. It would be better if the other side was allowed to obtain all kinds of vague intelligence fragments, among which there would be some contradictions, and only then could the military information that the Kim side deduced on its own gain their full trust.

After proudly accepting Huang Shi's appreciation, Zhao Slowxiong said with a smile: "My subordinates are still afraid that they won't be able to push it out, after all, we have a military intelligence department that is doing it every day, and there may not be one on this Jiannu side." ”

"That's your business, make an ordinance. ”

Yellowstone has long admitted that his intelligence is not enough to compete with the top of his time. So his first instinct was to establish a code of conduct, and then record all the lessons learned and form a system to fight the enemy.

Zhao Slowxiong has followed Huangshi for so many years, and he is already very accustomed to and agrees with Huangshi's method. He said confidently, "My lord Taka sees that his subordinates are doing this. subordinates thought. If Jiannu understands what we want them to see, they will try to confirm it or have a countermeasure accordingly, and if they don't, then Jiannu will try to gather more military information. So we can speculate our effects based on Jiannu's reactions, and record these to understand Jiannu's ability to fight pieces. This should also be the basis for our army to formulate regulations. ”

"That's a good point. ”

Since removing Zhao Slowxiong from the position of chief of staff, Huang Shi has felt that he is roughly similar to the head of the "Regardless Department", and he can also be called the head of the "All-Management Department". Anyway, when Huangshi was lacking in skills, he sent Zhao Slowxiong to deal with specific affairs, and now Zhao Slowxiong is in charge of rectifying the work of the Military Intelligence Department of Changsheng Island.

It seems that the internal guards of Changsheng Island also need to be rectified at the moment, just when Huang Shi is considering whether he can pull Zhao Slow Xiong out of the "werewolf" organization. The latter took out two more reports: "Your Excellency has two more lists here. Please take a look. ”

Huang Shi took the two thin pieces of paper, each with several names written on them, and the specific job titles were also marked on the back like the two just now, but the annotations below were completely different, which made Huang Shi ponder for a long time before looking up and asking, "Are you sure?"

"According to the intelligence they probed and the contact people, their subordinates basically determined their identities, one of them were for the order of the Liaodong Metropolitan Mansion, and one of them was secretly for Wu Jianjun, but in the face of the strong security of my Immortal Island, they didn't have any reliable sources. "The people Zhao Slowxiong said are just small soldiers, and they were probably bought by a little bit of small profits.

Huang Shi remembered that his internal guard system also had relevant secret records, so after a little thought, he said to Zhao Wanxiong: "Although we have always pretended to be invisible to the surveillance system of the imperial court, in fact, the internal guard is also aware of it, and we have also recorded some information from Gonggong Wu. You can go to Hong Antong to check this question. ”

"Yes, my lord, this is the question that my subordinates have to say. ”

Zhao Slow-Xiong pointed out to Huang Shi that according to the regulations of Changsheng Island, the Military Intelligence Department is responsible for targeting Houjin. The information obtained is not kept secret from Wu Mu, and the information on the Ming side is under the management of the internal guard, although Wu Mu has also interfered in the internal guard, but there are some core secrets that he never knows. Therefore, for the sake of security, the intelligence of the internal guard is not open to the military intelligence department of Changsheng Island.

This werewolf system was originally created to deal with Houjin, but as it began to operate, the spies of the Liaodong Metropolitan Mansion, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei systems were also found, so there was a jurisdictional trouble.

"Or attribute this system to the Internal Guard, or attribute this system to the Military Intelligence Division. For the sake of secrecy and streamlining, the subordinates believe that it is necessary to change the current situation of internal control. ”

"Well, that makes sense, so who do you think should be in charge of the Military Intelligence Department or the internal guard?"

"Military Intelligence Division. Zhao Slowxiong replied without hesitation, he had already made full consideration before coming to see Huangshi.

"Why?"

"Adults are ...... to know the "

It seems that Zhao Wanxiong has really thought about this question after thinking about it, and he seems to be confident in the face of Huangshi's questions. He replied very fluently: "The Werewolf of Changsheng Island" was originally subordinate to the Military Intelligence Department, and this organization was originally created under the planning of the Military Intelligence Department from beginning to end, and the responsible officers at all levels are now under the command of the Military Intelligence Department, so Zhao Slowxiong believes that it is completely reasonable and efficient to incorporate the organization "Werewolf" into the Military Intelligence Department.

As for the secrecy work, Zhao Slowxiong thought that it was not a big problem, and it was a big deal to send a special person to take charge of the information about the Liaodong Metropolitan Mansion, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang, and he even set up a transfer of the personnel in the internal guard who were previously responsible for related issues to the Military Intelligence Department. Since the internal guard could do it before, naturally the Military Intelligence Department can also do it, and it will not increase the number of insiders.

Zhao Slowxiong told the reason he thought of, and after hearing it, Huang Shi felt that there was no big problem, but it was not Huang Shi's habit to agree in a hurry. It is also not in line with the practice of Changsheng Island. Now Zhao Wanxiong is the direct manager of the Military Intelligence Department, so Huang Shi explained: "You go and write down these reasons and give them to me for a closer look, if there is no major problem, I will hand it over to Hong Antong and ask him to hand over the personnel and files to you." ”

"Yes. ”

"Good. One more thing is the question about the rumors about Jiannu, did you go back last time and think about it now?"

"My lord, Mingjian's subordinates thought that it was better for us not to speak about this matter, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others even more. Zhao slowed down the idea that there was no good way to do it. The more this kind of thing is argued, the less good fruit will be eaten, but the darker it will become. Therefore, Zhao Slowxiong thinks that the best way is to treat it coldly, completely pretend not to hear, or put on a disdainful appearance of justification.

Huang Shi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Why don't I want to, it's just that the trees want to be quiet and the wind is not stopped, and the news I just got from the court." There is already a royal history to impeach me for exterminating humanity. ”

"The Imperial History, the Imperial History, the Impeachment of the Lords, the Extermination of Humanity?"

"Yes, there is a royal history. If you want me to defend myself, whether I killed my eldest brother or wife, if so, if so, I want to defend myself for killing them, hehe, the rumors of Jiannudi have already spread in Beijing. ”

Looking at the stunned Zhao Slow, Xiong Huangshi sneered again: "If it's just a unilateral transmission of Jiannu, then the imperial history is not sure of impeachment, but the problem is that the Liaodong Metropolitan Government also said so, then the impact will be great." ”

Zhao Slowxiong came back to his senses, he leaned in front of Huang Shi and asked in a low voice, "Is it Yuan Gouguan?"

"Who else will there be besides Yuan Chonghuan, a dog thief?"

At the beginning of this month, after the rumors were generated from Houjin, Yuan Chonghuan immediately wrote an enthusiastic recital, praising Huangshi's righteous actions of killing relatives several times in the imperial court. In the recital, Yuan Chonghuan not only immediately recognized these "righteous deeds" of Huangshi, but also helped to describe them vividly, after Yuan Chonghuan's artistic processing, Houjin originally seemed a little dry, and the rumors became more vivid.

First, Huang Shi argued with his traitor brother in Kaiyuan, and then executed him in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, first choked his wife's neck with his hands, and then smothered her with a quilt, and how to fight everyone in Liuhe, and finally killed a bloody way from the house of the benefactor who saved his life. Huangshi's adventure is like a legendary adventure, Yuan Chonghuan said as if he saw it with his own eyes, and finally praised Huangshi's "true temperament"!

As he spoke, Huang Shi burst out laughing. After all the narration was finished, he couldn't help but sigh: "Yuan Chonghuan is really a waste of talent if he doesn't become a storyteller." ”

Zhao Slowxiong naturally knew a lot of inside stories about Huang Shi and Yuan Chonghuan, and he also knew Huang Shi's opinion of Yuan Chonghuan very well. Yuan Chonghuan's seemingly praising words contained evil intentions, although Huang Shi smiled, Zhao Wanxiong did not have a trace of a smile on his face: "If the governor of Liaodong is really as the adult said, then he is really shameless." ”

Huang Shi suppressed his smile and snorted coldly from his nose: "It's just a small try." ”

Maybe Zhao Slowxiong is very smart, but Huang Shi knows the character of historical figures better than him, so Huang Shi has a much more thorough view of Yuan Chonghuan as a person. The course of history may be different though. But there will be no big changes in the personality of people and land, and Huang Shi once compared Yuan Chonghuan with Qin Hui. When Qin Hui killed King Yue in the Storm Pavilion, although the "trumped-up" charges he used were extremely shameless, he still couldn't label King Yue as "advocating peace" after all.

And the "national hero" Yuan Chonghuan erected by the slave chief Hongli to the Han people is too powerful, not to mention his own sycophancy, he can also detain the ugly things he has done to Mao Wenlong, who is famous for his indifference, and insisted that Mao Wenlong hid from the people of the world (except for him Yuan Chonghuan) and recognized Wei Zhongxian as his godfather, and also said that Mao Wenlong must have hidden the eyes and ears of the world (except for him Yuan Chonghuan) and set up a statue of Wei Zhongxian on an unknown desert island.

So Huang Shi thinks that in terms of the four words "incorruptible and shameful". Even Qin Hui and Qin Xiangye also had to bow down in front of Inspector Yuan, so when he went to His Majesty twice to see the apocalypse, he saw Yuan Chonghuan in the recital, and afterwards, Huang Shi's feeling was not "it was so", but "it was so".

Huang Shi restrained the mockery on his face, he knocked on the table in thought, and narrated his thoughts to Zhao Wanxiong: "Yuan Chonghuan's actions will not constitute a fatal blow to me, because just as I have no evidence to say that I didn't kill my eldest brother, Yuan Chonghuan and Yushi can't come up with evidence to say that I killed my eldest brother, and my own denial is far more powerful than the rumors of Jiannu." But the key is not here, but the emperor's opinion. ”

The current Da Ming Zi is a kind-hearted young man, who trusts the people around him, and has not had many opportunities to see the sinister of people's hearts. Tianqi is very good to his adoptive mother Li Xuanshi, to his wet nurse Keshi, to his teacher Sun Chengzong, to his old servant Wei Zhongxian, and to his younger brother King Xin, so he should think that everyone should be like this.

In addition, Apocalypse is not a very assertive person. As these rumors continue to spread, the apocalypse will definitely be affected by some influences, as the so-called "three people become tigers". Huang Shi is still the same old saying, if the person sitting in the position is Zhu Hongwu's kind of person, then he, Huang Shi is not worried that these words will be unfavorable to him at all, because Zhu Hongwu doesn't care about Huang Shi's private morality at all. As long as Huangshi can win the battle and be charged by the emperor, then there will be no problem.

But Apocalypse is not such a cold-blooded pragmatist, and with his kindness, he must have had a bad feeling for these actions of Yellowstone. Huang Shi is even more deeply suspicious: an honest child like Apocalypse can easily be influenced by his personal feelings when making decisions. Thus making unwise judgments.

"Now the key is the emperor, as long as the emperor believes that I did it...... No. As long as the emperor suspects that I may have done it, the emperor's trust in me will be greatly reduced. Huang Shi spread his hands as he spoke, and his face showed a very helpless expression. Huang Shi is not a civil servant, it is impossible to get the support of the officials of the world, and Huang Shi does not plan to meet Wei Zhongxian, so the personal favor of the apocalypse is the biggest reliance on Huang Shi to suppress Yuan Chonghuan's arrogance.

"Yuan Chonghuan grasped it very accurately, the advantage of the land of the lord lies in the status of the emperor's mind, so in the battle of Liaoxi, the emperor will support the lord, and the lord is not controlled by civil officials, and the lord moved away Juehua's inventory, and the court did not pursue it...... Well, at present, there are no ministers in Dongjiang Town, and the cabinet is unwilling to allocate military salaries, grain and grass, if you want to wield Liaozhong, you can only count on the emperor's support. ”

"Yes. ”

"Let your subordinates go back and think about it," Zhao Wanxiong paused and added: "However, my subordinates feel that there are no major flaws in the design of the governor of Liaodong, and my subordinates dare not say that they may be able to come up with countermeasures." ”

"I don't think there's a flaw either. You think about it first, I don't blame you if you can't figure it out. ”

"Yes. ”

On the 14th day of the seventh month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, "Jiannu sent a secret envoy?" When Huang Shi asked, the eyebrows on both sides couldn't help but be raised, and there was both surprise and disdain in his tone.

"Yes. "At the moment, there are only two people in the house, Hong Antong and Huangshi", how to deal with the people who came, please show me. ”

This secret envoy traveled all the way over the mountains and mountains, walked all the way, and also brought his own dry food and drinking water, and bypassed Fuzhou until Beixinkou revealed his identity to the patrol team of the fire battalion.

"It's amazing. After hearing about the adventures of the people who came over, Huang Shi couldn't help but praise a sentence, and then there was a reproach in his tone: "From Fuzhou to Gaizhou, I remember that there are patrols, and the investigation along the way is also in charge of the Military Intelligence Department of Changsheng Island, how can you let Jiannu go all the way to Beixinkou?"

"There must be a fine work to lead the way, and if the adult gives permission, the subordinates will definitely be able to pry open this person's mouth. ”

"There's no need to rush him to me first. Huang Shi planned to ask Zhao Slowxiong first to see if his "werewolf" organization knew anything about it.

"Yes. "- The following does not count the number of words. The author has seen some people say that the first two sections of this book have tampered with history, and if this is the case, I hope that the brothers who accuse the author can provide detailed evidence, so that the author can correct the loopholes in this book, thank you very much.

On the issue of length, the author will briefly explain the arguments in the first two sections later, if there are any problems, please be sure to appreciate them and point them out.

Yuan Chonghuan asked Lisheng Ancestral Hall, Mao Wenlong, and Zuo Guangdou and others to complain about their grievances, all of which are from the actual records of Xizong, where did the author tamper with it?

Moreover, in addition to Mao Wenlong's grievances for Donglin, Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, also wrote a poem to praise Mao Wenlong: The head of the Yalu River is built with drums and flags.

Qingtian promised that he was lonely and loyal to the rebel with his bare hands.

The night is quiet, and the moon is shining and the arrows are passing over the alum.

They all eat meat and are courtiers.

Why did Mao Wenlong say that he was a eunuch?

The local civil and military forces competed to be the first to establish an ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian and recognize the godfather, and all the names of the people were recorded on the actual record of Xizong, Mao Wenlong did not turn sideways, why did the author tamper with history?

The imperial historian of the Ming Dynasty recognized Wei Zhongxian's godfather, how could such a thing not be involved, how could no one in the whole world know?

It is said that Mao Wenlong set up a crown for Wei Zhongxian on an unknown desert island, except for Yuan Chonghuan's own words, what other canon did he do? Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan didn't even say the name of this island, where did he find this statue on hundreds of islands in Liaodong?

Section 30 Armaments

The envoy sent by Houjin had been thoroughly searched, and after Huang Shi changed his clothes and armor, Hong Antong personally brought him in, and then quietly retreated to Huang Shi's side to protect him, and handed over the secret letter carried by the person to Huang Shi.

"Negotiate peace?" After reading the letter, Huang Shi sneered and threw it aside: "Did your master let you come to die?"

"Huang Dashuai villain was ordered to bring confidential messages. The man stopped at this point, raised his head and looked at Hong Antong and the others beside Huang Shi.

"Say it quickly. Huang Shi said impatiently.

"The villain obeyed. Then the envoy of Jin kowtowed again, and said hurriedly without raising his head: "Jianzhou Wei Dazuo Leader greetings to the Ming Dynasty Huang Dashuai, and now the great tomorrow son Shengming is on the left and right, and there are many traitors in the close servants. Huang Dashuai is mighty and invincible, and he will be afraid of a small night, fearing that the birds will be exhausted and the bow will be hidden. ”

After saying this in one breath, the messenger raised his head and looked at the few people in front of him, Huang Shi in the middle was expressionless, Hong Antong behind him was tight, without saying a word, and Zhao Slow Xiong and Jin Qiude, who were listening on both sides of Huang Shi, both stared at the envoy's face, as if they were waiting to listen to his words.

Since I felt the confidence of encouraging the messenger, I suddenly strengthened a lot, and my tone was slightly raised: "Jianzhou Wei Dazuo Leader sent a message to the Ming Dynasty, Huang Dashuai is in the country, Huang Dashuai is in the country, and Huang Dashuai is dying together." ”

After saying that, the messenger straightened up, looked at Huangshi with blank eyes, and the latter hummed softly, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you done with what you want to say?"

The messenger's face turned pale, and he hurried to the ground again. Kowtowed again and again and said: "Even if Huang Dashuai wants to borrow the rank to win the prince, please take a break from the war, and the country is really the rank of Huang Dashuai's promotion, why do you have to work hard?"

"Looks like that's the end of it. ”

Huang Shi leaned back in the chair, and as he waved his arm, Hong Antong behind him shouted: "Obey." ”

Several internal guards poured into the camp, and Hong Antong commanded them to tie up the messenger and drag him down to prison. After Hong Antong left. Jin Qiude and Zhao Wanxiong looked at each other again, and then looked at Huang Shi at the same time: "There is fraud in this!"

"Yes, Jiannu is entrenched in Liaozhong and Jianzhou, although it has been repeatedly frustrated by our army, but it has definitely not reached this point. Huang Shi picked up the letter that he had just thrown aside, and read it carefully for a long time before he handed it to Zhao Wanxiong and Jin Qiude in confusion: "But why did Jiannu want to enslave Yan and her knees to such a point, what is his intention?"

"A plan to delay the army?" Kim suggested a possibility. After Chen Jisheng invaded Jianzhou, the battle situation in Liaodong became very bad against Houjin, and Nurhachi drew sixty armor per cow, rushed back to Jianzhou with four major Beile and Eight Banners soldiers and horses, and was fighting fiercely with the Dongjiang army along the Suzi River.

It's just that Chen Jisheng occupied all the strategic points from Sarhu to Hetuala at the beginning, where the terrain was steep and there was no wide official road to go, so the Houjin army could only attack along the Suzi River and squeeze the Dongjiang army out of Jianzhou little by little. So the progress of the Houjin army was very slow.

In July, when the headquarters of the Middle East River came to Tang to report that the Ming army was still resisting in the hilly and jungle areas east of the Suzi River. In this kind of terrain that is only suitable for small forces to fight, the strength of the Houjin army is not enough, and several large-scale attacks only pressed the Ming army back to Kuandian, and there is no need to worry about the danger of being encircled and annihilated.

"Perhaps, but our army is training troops right now. It was impossible to attack Liaozhong. In addition, our army is not capable of attacking Liaozhong at all, and the last attack on Haizhou almost wiped out our reserves. ”

"What are you going to do with this?"

"It will always be wrong to hand over the person to Gonggong Wu to take care of, and then let Jinyiwei tie him up and send him to Jingshi. "Huang Shi thought about going to Jiannu's letter, and he must not reply. lest it be true. Of course, this envoy must not be killed, lest some people spread rumors that he "kills people and kills his mouth", and the most prudent way is to send him to the Beijing Division, and no one can say anything.

"My lord's subordinates think this is probably not good. "Jin Qiude, they all know that Huangshi is always from the advice. Therefore, when they have different ideas, they will not hide them in their hearts: "The so-called two countries do not fight each other." Although Jiannu is not my enemy country. But today we can kill his messenger, and tomorrow Jiannu will be able to kill our Ming envoy. Since Xiong Jingluo presided over the Liao affairs, in addition to persuading the envoys, I have never been embarrassed by the Ming Dynasty and the civil and military forces, and the envoys who surrendered to the land and Jiannu have not embarrassed our envoys. ”

Huang Shi was always willing to exchange views with his subordinates, so he replied without hesitation: "Brother Jin is right, I am indeed a messenger who is not embarrassed to build slaves. But I think this situation should be changed, Changsheng Island will not accept any terms other than Jiannu's surrender, and if Jiannu really wants to surrender, they will not be afraid of dying. ”

Jin Qiude and Zhao Slowxiong clasped their fists together: "My lord, I see that my subordinates understand." ”

......

After sending the Houjin envoy and the letter to Wu Mu, Wu Gonggong was a little surprised, he felt that it was a bit of a fuss to treat a messenger in this way. However, since Huangshi had this opinion, Wu Mu also followed his wishes and asked Zhang Gaosheng to go on a trip to escort the envoy to Dengzhou.

Huang Shi always felt that this messenger was not so simple, and it should be part of the Houjin rumor offensive, if he was a little careless and let him go back, he didn't know what the other party would have waiting for him. Now is an eventful autumn, Huang Shi thinks that it is better to be careful, so as not to find himself unhappy.

Although he knew that the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty had moved eastward, Huangshi was helpless against Liaozhong, and because Dongjiang Town had no civilian supervision, the imperial court had always been faintly wary of it, and was unwilling to give more military salaries, grain and grass, so as not to appear another border army town after the Tang Dynasty. However, Mao Wenlong's bad relationship with the Shandong civil official group continued, and as he repeatedly attacked the Shandong civil officials in the past two years, his materials were lost, and the antagonism between the two sides became more severe.

Not long ago, when Zhen Yucun came to Changsheng Island, he also revealed some words to Huangshi, that is, the civil officials of Shandong hoped that Mao Wenlong would do his best to get out. They all supported Huangshi to take over as the Dongjiang Army. In line with the principle of never offending anyone, Huang Shi also hinted that after he took over as the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang, not only would he never embarrass Dengzhou in terms of money, but he would also agree to allow Shandong civil officials to send people to Dongjiang Town to supervise the army.

Recently, Mao Wenlong wrote a letter to the Donglin Party to avenge his grievances, which offended the eunuch party even more, although Wu Mu did not mention the issue of the place of the new words, but the meaning of the words sounded like he was trying to promote Huangshi to the chief military officer. Huang Shi didn't answer this question, because he thought that no one would really like those ungrateful people, so Huang Shi made it clear that unless Mao Wenlong was promoted to the governor of Liaodong. Otherwise, he would never ask for the opening of the town, let alone try to be on an equal footing with Mao Wenlong.

Since Mao Wenlong has already shouldered the main responsibility, Huang Shi feels that if he kicks in the back, it will be too inauthentic. Besides, Wu Mu also admires a person who thinks about the source of drinking water, and Huang Shi even suspects that Wei Zhongxian is behind Wu Mu, and Wei Zhongxian also values this kind of person who does not forget the old favor, so the eunuch party will no longer force Huangshi to break away from Dongjiang Town.

The war budget that Changsheng Island made for this year was 100,000 taels of silver, and as a result, the last time it attacked Haizhou, it spent nearly 70,000 taels of silver. The remaining part of the budget is only enough for some simple military movements in the second half of the year, and there is no capacity for large-scale offensive on the ground. The Dongjiang Left Association is now drifting away from the headquarters, and the battle mode of the two is very different, which makes Huangshi's expenses become bigger and bigger every time he fights, which makes him a headache.

In order to save money, Changsheng Island decided to further reduce the proportion of cavalry in the troops, and this time the new firefighting camp in the Battle of Haizhou was newly organized, and everyone felt that there was nothing inconvenient, so Changsheng Island had decided that a field battalion in the future should be equipped with eight infantry teams of 400 people, a horse team of 200 people, and an artillery team. In addition, there were 400 engineers and 1,000 baggage troops, a total of 5,000 men.

From then on, the cavalry of each battalion, such as battalion guards, battalion reconnaissance, etc., must also be counted in the establishment of the horse team, and when economic conditions permit, the artillery group under the jurisdiction of the artillery team will be expanded to ten. The sapper corps and the baggage corps should also be equipped with good tools. Now Changsheng Island already has a large number of experienced veterans, and officers at all levels are also full of confidence in using infantry to confront cavalry head-on, so Huangshi will save money and how to come.

Although Changsheng Island has made every effort to reduce military spending, with the increasing professionalism of the field troops on Changsheng Island, it is no longer possible for Huangshi to make money by fighting wars like the headquarters, except for necessary military transfer expenses. The equipment on Immortal Island is also in short supply to the point of being finger-prohibitive.

When the brunt is the armor problem, if Huang Shizhen adjusts all three battalions to the theoretical formation, then he will need at least 11,000 pieces of armor. Although Changsheng Island tried its best to repair every piece of damaged subway armor, the current number of iron armor has dropped to 2,400 units, and the fire battalion has been expanded to 5,000 people, and currently only has 800 iron armors.

In order to cope with the armor crisis. The three battalions of firefighting, rock, and xuanfeng have re-equipped their troops with all kinds of captured armor, but the infantry equipment rate of the firefighting battalion still does not reach half. In order to solve this problem, Changsheng Island has adopted the practice of wearing armor in the front row and only wearing helmets in the back row.

Although the production of firecrackers is okay, it will take a long time to manufacture the tools needed by the sappers, and Bao Bowen can only ensure that the engineer corps of one battalion of the firefighting battalion will be restored to combat capability by September. As for the equipment needed by the artillery team of the firefighting battalion, as well as the artillery and engineering equipment that the other two battalions lacked, it was simply far away.

Although he knew that there was a huge shortage of equipment, Huangshi had to order the Military Industry Department to put into production a new piece of equipment - breastplate armor. At the beginning of the month, after tossing for more than half a year, the hydraulic rolling mill finally succeeded in rolling out a steel plate one to two millimeters thick, and three days ago, Bao Bowen finally smashed out the steel mold with which the hardness was barely said, and used it to forge a pair of steel plate cuirasses.

The weight of this set of cuirass is about thirteen catties, plus the chain vest, shoulder armor, iron gloves, etc., is about eighteen catties, compared with the thirty-two catties of iron scale armor of the Changsheng Island system, the total weight is slightly lighter, if you remove the shoulder armor and sleeves, the iron scale armor vest weighs about twenty catties, and the two are basically the same. A set of twenty catties of iron scale armor vest contains about twelve catties of iron, and the rest are leather and raw rubber, so the defense of the breastplate armor is still a lot stronger.

The thickest part of the front chest of this set of armor is close to two millimeters, which can defend against infantry bows and arrows more than five meters away, and although attacks within five meters may penetrate the arc shell of the cuirass, after tearing the steel, the bow and arrow basically lose its power, and do not pose damage to the scarecrow inside. The bird guns and swords are also basically powerless against this set of cuirasses.

He Dingyuan personally took a spear to poke this set of armor. After a few attacks, he came to the conclusion: "When you poke very hard, it's like pushing the whole armor and the person inside backwards, similar to the feeling of poking the mountain armor, unless there is something behind it, it is difficult to poke someone to death at once." ”

"Of course, this kind of cuirass is the same as the mountain armor, it is hard armor, and it is still very effective in the defense of the spear. Huang Shi personally stabbed the breastplate with his sword a few times, but the sword either slipped away or pushed the scarecrow and the cuirass away together. You can't get through the body.

"It's good, it's good, but once it is pierced, how can this kind of cuirass be repaired?" He Dingyuan stroked the hole in the breastplate, and there was a doubt, as long as the scale armor was nailed to the cowhide, it could be repaired, although the mountain armor was complicated to put together, but it could also be replaced with a good armor piece to repair this cuirass, it would be very difficult, and I am afraid that it could only be sent back to the blacksmith. I put an iron patch on the hole.

"Anyway, it was forged by a hydraulic forging machine, and it was really broken, so it was melted into molten iron and re-forged. "Historically, the focus of the contradiction between plate armor and scale armor is mainly this: whether human life is cheaper or armor is cheaper. Yellowstone has always believed that human life is more precious, especially for veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Now that the hydraulic machinery has greatly reduced the cost of plate armor, Yellowstone has decided to equip his soldiers with cuirasses.

"But although this armor is good, we still can't afford to use it for a while. Huang Shi replied casually, and he swung his sword hard, slashing at the breastplate a few times, only adding a few scratches to it. Huang Shi pulled He Dingyuan back, and the technical soldiers of Changsheng Island were about to do the last test, when a twenty-four-millimeter caliber firearm let out an angry roar. The two-millimeter-thick cuirass was lightly pierced like a paper shell, and a bowl-sized hole was cut into the scarecrow's body.

"Very good, I'm relieved. Let's forge a hundred pairs of cuirasses first," Huang Shi nodded with satisfaction, and the full set of machinery for building plate armor cost Huang Shi tens of thousands of taels of silver. The question of how to recover the cost had made him think about it day and night, and he had already made a preliminary plan. He turned to Bao Bowen and asked, "How much silver does Brother Bao need to make a set of cuirasses?"

"Returning to adults, the materials don't cost too much silver, but it's hard to say how long the mold will last. ”

"According to Gori. ”

"My lord, a set of cuirass, costs about a hundred taels of silver. If you add the matching shoulder armor, arm armor and chain vest, how can you get fifty taels of silver, but the chain vest is not very useful. It's quite expensive. ”

"That's a lot, is it the cost of forging only a hundred breastplates?"

"Yes. ”

"It's good to send twenty pairs to Japan to Liu Qingyang. I heard that this kind of thing was sold there for three hundred taels of gold. I don't want so many two hundred taels or one hundred and fifty taels of gold, and I admit it. ”

"Obey the order, but the Japanese buy it is a beautifully processed red-haired person, gilding gold and silver on it, and there are many bells and whistles or something, we sell it like this, I am afraid it will not sell it at a high price. ”

"Then find a few cloisonnΓ© that are as gorgeous as they are, and use them all in cloisonnΓ© enamel and gilding. Sue sΓΉ Liu Qingyang, don't be limited to a Japanese shogunate, Kanazawa Domain, and Satsuma Domain, go around everywhere, after selling this batch, we will ship it to the second and third batches, and the price will slowly drop, and finally as long as I don't lose money, I will sell it for two hundred taels of silver. Remember to make a name for yourself, to operate as a cultural brand and a fashion brand, and to create this kind of culture in Japan. ”

"It's my lord. ”

"Take the rest of the thirty pairs and transport them to Mao Shuai's horse market, where there are many Mongolian princes, and I have heard that many of them are quite rich. However, there must be no price reduction here, and I must never see Jiannu's armored soldiers equipped with cuirasses before our army. ”

"The last general understands that your Excellency is relieved. ”

"Give Mao Shuai and Vice General Chen another set, you can see what needs to be sent, and report the list to me." ”

"It's my lord. ”

Huang Shi calculated in his heart that if this batch of cuirasses could be sold, the cost of the waterwheel, rolling mill and forging machine would all come back: "Brother Bao, if you don't count these machines, how much does each set of cuirass cost?"

"First roll the wrought iron into plates, then carburize into steel, and then use a forging machine to rough process it into a rough billet at one time, and then the blacksmith can use manual and foot forging hammers to finally repair the shape......" Bao Bowen skillfully reported the process, and even carburizing, a word that had just been introduced to the Ming Dynasty from Europe, used the Changsheng Island cuirass, which was connected by a pin in the middle of the two pieces before and after: "It will never be more than ten taels." ”

"Ten taels?" Although Huang Shi knew that the use of machine qì mass production could greatly reduce costs, this number still surprised him, and he paused for a moment before hurriedly asking: "It's cheaper than the worst lint armor, isn't it?"

"Yes. ”

......

On July 28, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Bao Bowen Nakajima accompanied Huangshi to inspect a large number of equipment in Nakajima. In front of them, three more windmills began to lay ground. According to Bao Bowen's calculations, each windmill costs about 2,000 taels of silver, and after it is built, it can earn more than 30 taels of silver for Changsheng Island every day, and after deducting depreciation and maintenance costs, it can also net about 20 taels of silver per day on average, and it only takes three months to return to the capital.

At noon, Zhao Slowxiong rushed to see Huang Shi and whispered in his ear: "The news from Jingshi is very bad again. ”

Wan Qian refers to whether the peak can bear the 31st verse response

"Okay, got it. Huang Shi raised his head and looked at Zhao Wanxiong's stern face, and then lowered his head and picked up the rice bowl: "But I'll wait until I'm done eating." Lunchtime is not to talk about official business, this is the military regulations of Changsheng Island. As the head of an army, this commander really can't know the law and break the law. ”

After eating, Huangshi did not rush back to the island, but continued to inspect Nakajima as originally planned. Several wide canals have been dug on the island, which connect the reservoirs above and below the mountain, and drive several waterwheels to operate. On either side of the canal are windmills, which carry water up the hill day and night to supply the canal, and two windmills are built on the seashore to make sea salt.

"Wait for a few years to come and see, the last general will definitely ......follow these canals," Bao Bowen first pointed to the canals, and then simply covered the entire middle island with a wave of his hand: "The last general must dig the entire island full of canals, cover the waterwheel, and then build the windmill denser than the woods of Changsheng Island!"

"Good. Brother Bao is really my right-hand man. ”

After Huang Shi finished speaking, he looked at Fan Leyou, the technical advisor of the windmill and waterwheel on Zhongdao: "Brother Fan has also worked hard, and I have also asked Brother Fan for the battle of Haizhou, and this time I will definitely be promoted to the commander of Jinzhou Wei." ”

Although Zhongdao is far smaller than Changsheng Island, the current male and female population on the island has reached 50,000, mainly because Huangshi used the excuse of the insecurity of southern Liaoning to move all the people and military households into Changsheng Island as much as possible.

Changsheng Island and Zhongdao don't have so much land for the people to farm, in fact, Huangshi also tried every means to make them unable to farm, so that all these people were sent to work as workers. Those who have the skills to make weapons, iron and steel, and those who do not have the skills to dig ditches, build kilns, repair windmills, and repair water wheels.

At present, Nakajima, a small island with no arable land, provides more than seventy percent of Changsheng Island's economic resources, and also manufactures about ninety percent of the arms, ships, and clothing for Huangshi.

After traveling around Zhongdao as originally planned, Huang Shi returned to the old camp on Changsheng Island with Zhao Slowxiong, Hong Antong and others. After Huang Shi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, walked into his camp, he first made a pot of tea, then poured a full cup for himself, and then leaned back comfortably on the chair, drinking water while speaking to Zhao Slowxiong: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

After detaining the Houjin envoy more than ten days ago, Changsheng Island sent someone to send him to Tianjin Wei. According to the escort, when the envoy of Houjin recorded his confession in Tianjin, he changed his rhetoric, except that he insisted that Nurhachi sincerely asked to surrender. also said that Huang Shi ruthlessly abandoned his wife and ignored it.

Returning to the old camp on Changsheng Island, starting from the chair that sat on the Chinese army, Huang Shi knew that his subordinates would definitely not tell him anything happy, and he was mentally prepared for this, thinking that he would not be surprised by any rumors. It's a pity that when Huang Shi heard this, he still didn't have enough concentration: "Abandon your wife and ignore it, where does this start?"

He was referring to Miss Zhao Er. Jiannu said that when the lord was on the battlefield of Juehua, he thought he would win, so he brought his wife to the battlefield. As a result, when the war was in crisis, he left her and ran away. ”

Huang Shi was completely defeated by Hou Jin's sense of humor, he accidentally choked on the tea, hurriedly put the teacup back on the table, coughed for a long time, and straightened out his breath: "Jiannu really dare to say it, I dare to say it." I have been in the army for six years, and during this period, I have encountered bloody battles, how can I bring my female dependents to the battlefield, this is really a big joke in the world. ”

"It's ridiculous indeed. That being said, Zhao Slowbear didn't even have a smile on his face.

Huang Shi also smiled. Subconsciously reaching out and slapping the helmet he placed on the table, the remaining smile on the corner of his mouth was also stained with more and more irony: "The law is the best." As long as Jiannu is sure, I didn't save anyone. Hmph, if someone defends me, reprocesses this matter, and says that I am a righteous murderer for the sake of the soldier's life, then it will be completely perfect. ”

"My lord, my subordinates are also worried about this, well, we have a ready-made one here. ”

"Hmph, don't talk about Yuan Gouguan, what else did the envoy say?"

"My lord Mingjian, the messenger also said that Jiannu was determined to surrender and was willing to return Zhao Er's girl, but the adult was bent on making side contributions, so he ruthlessly rejected Jiannu's request for peace talks. ”

Huang Shi shook his head again and again when he heard this, and his face was full of disapproval: "I have always resolutely opposed the idea of peace, and the emperor and the court have long known that Ren Jiannu's envoy has a bright tongue and lotus flowers, and he can't shake me in the slightest. Moreover, what this envoy said in front of Gonggong Wu was obviously inconsistent with what Wei said in Tianjin, even if he strongly argued that it was me who threatened him, but with Gonggong Wu's testimony, the court would always believe me more. ”

"My lord said it well, and my subordinates also felt strange, so I was deeply uneasy, and I wanted to come to Jiannu, and there must be a backhand. Zhao Wanxiong paused for a moment, plucked up his courage and said, "There are still rumors about my lordship. ”

"What rumors?"

"It is said that the emperor intends to transfer the adults and the battalion soldiers of Changsheng Island back to the Beijing camp for use. ”

After hearing this, Huang Shi just groaned for a while, and there was nothing abnormal on his face, and after many years of experience, he became more and more moody. After Zhao Wanxiong finished speaking, he also quieted down, waiting for the chief to ask, and after a while, he finally arrived.

"When?" According to the regulations of Changsheng Island, those completely unfounded rumors will not be reported to Huang Shi, since Zhao Slow Xiong asked him this question so solemnly, then Huang Shi knows that this matter will definitely not be chasing after the wind. Now he felt a chill in his heart, although he was a little aggrieved and angry, but more helpless. Huangshi's biggest backer is the Apocalypse, if the emperor doesn't support him, the eunuchs who don't take care of the pavilion elders will definitely not have to count on it.

"I'm still thinking about it, but it seems that the recent rumors still have a lot of impact on the reputation of adults. This news has been verified by the internal guards of Changsheng Island, and Zhao Slowxiong thinks that it has seventy percent credibility, so he reported it to Huang Shi: "My lord, the emperor is still hesitating, and his subordinates think that as long as the adults don't give others a handle, then there is nothing to fear." ”

"Hmm. Huang Shi nodded again, and now he felt more and more that it was wise for him to tie up that envoy to Jingshi. If I don't do that, I don't know how many rumors will be spread. Huang Shi took the initiative to tie up the Houjin envoy and go to Beijing. At least the first impression is that he doesn't have a ghost in his heart, which is better than waiting for Houjin to start spreading rumors and then start discerning.

"If the lord doesn't have any orders, the subordinates will retire first. ”

Huang Shi scratched his head, the work of the Military Intelligence Department now looked very good, and it had left the internal guards behind. Huang Shi was so busy all day that he didn't have time to carefully review the rules of the internal guard. And the heads of the other departments are also very busy, and secondly, it is not good to let them rectify such a key department as the internal guard: "Brother Slow Bear, you don't have to worry about the Military Intelligence Department, from tomorrow onwards, you can help me take a look at the internal guard." Xiaohong's work is still a little uneasy. ”

Zhao Slowxiong has been tossing the Military Intelligence Department for almost half a year, and when he heard that Huangshi had pushed the big job of internal security to him again, Zhao Slowxiong's face also showed some embarrassment.

Huang Shi saw that Zhao Slowbear was a little stunned, so he hurriedly cheered up this henchman: "Don't worry. The internal guard will be slowly rectified by you, and I will listen to you for a few months and half a year, without the slightest pressure and burden. ”

"Okay, I'll rely on you. Huang Shi was very satisfied and personally sent Zhao Wanxiong out of the door. Zhao Slowxiong helped Huangshi lay a good foundation for the General Staff, and for a while, he also managed the work of making money, and the organization of "Werewolves of Changsheng Island" that he had just created also made Huangshi very satisfied. Huang Shi's original plan was to let Zhao Slowxiong carefully review Zhang Zaidi's work, but Zhao Slowxiong and Zhang Zaidi had a conflict just now, so let's wait until he sorted out the regulations of the internal security department.

In the small society of Changsheng Island, Huangshi has always been firmly at the center of power, and he knows and masters a qiΔ“. Others, even within their own scope of work, are subject to various regulations. In addition, Huang Shi would occasionally send Zhao Slowxiong to break into the management of those high-ranking officers, making a fuss, so that the officers did not have a chance to establish their absolute authority.

Yellowstone has always felt good about himself.

......

Two days later, Li Yunrui and Zhao Slowxiong had lunch together in the office of the Military Intelligence Department of Changsheng Island, and the two senior officers enjoyed the fresh fish of Changsheng Island, cut into small pieces and eaten with garlic, which was very delicious. Afterwards, Li Yunrui took out the tea under his quota to entertain this colleague.

"Thank you Brother Li for your hospitality, this tea and fish are really amazing. Zhao Slowbear praised loudly, but he thought that Li Yunrui would definitely not think that he was here to eat and drink.

"Lord Zhao, please tell me if you have something, brother, I will do my best to help. It seems that Li Yunrui really doesn't think so. In the past few years, the two of them have had a certain understanding, not to mention that Zhao Slowxiong has been his temporary boss for the past six months.

"I just read a memorandum from the Military Intelligence Department to the Internal Security Department yesterday, you asked to put the system of 'Werewolf of Changsheng Island' under the direct leadership of the Military Intelligence Department, and asked the Internal Security to pull out the relevant personnel to the Military Intelligence Department, I can't agree to this kind of request. ”

Li Yunrui didn't say a word, just looked at Zhao Wanxiong in a daze, as if he was waiting for the latter, blushing.

However, Li Yunrui was obviously disappointed, because when Zhao Wanxiong said, "Okay, I know that I drafted this memo." At that time, Zhao Slowxiong's tone was still so impassioned.

"Well, I must admit that at the time I was looking at this mainly from the perspective of the Military Intelligence Department. Zhao Wanxiong's tone was subdued, hoping that Li Yunrui would not be born: "This guy is now looking at the problem from the perspective of the internal guard." "This impression.

Before Li Yunrui could react, Zhao Slowxiong raised his voice an octave: "Later, I stood at a new height, that is, the position of the former Changsheng Island Commander and General again, and re-examined this problem. ”

Zhao Slowxiong, who was the acting boss when Huangshi went out, has always been close to the second-in-command of Changsheng Island in the eyes of everyone, he hit the memo on the table and said: "It is undeniable that the security and confidentiality work of the internal guard has been done well, and the Military Intelligence Department has not undergone a similar test, if the 'werewolf of Changsheng Island' is under the control of the internal guard, the most important confidentiality work has been guaranteed." ”

Li Yunrui didn't speak, but looked down at the table, Zhao Slowxiong had no choice but to continue to spray his saliva: "If the internal guard really has any existing military information that needs to be reported to the Military Intelligence Department, the internal guard can also react at the first time." Moreover, with the participation of the internal guards, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on the Military Intelligence Department, thereby improving the ability of my Changsheng Island's military intelligence interpretation. ”

After listening to Zhao Wanxiong's words, Li Yunrui lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and said in a hesitant manner: "Five years ago, it was Lord Zhao who recommended me to my lord, and I will not forget it." ”

"What are you doing with it after so many years?"

Zhao Slowbear let out a long sigh of satisfaction, although he knew that he owed a great favor. However, his achievements in the past six months can be regarded as preserved. If you have no foundation in the army at all, even sitting in the second-in-command position makes people feel insecure.

The third day of the eighth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse.

Today, Hong Antong reported that Huangshi has a very interesting news, that is, Wang Xiaoniang has returned to Changsheng Island.

On the way back from Juehua last time, Huang Shi felt that he couldn't explain how he could have an extra wife, and he did plan to propose to the Zhao family when he was in Juehua, so he didn't plan to defend himself at all.

Soon after, the Wang siblings moved to Shandong. It is said that they found their uncle's family, so they planned to move their household registration to Shandong, and this Huangshi naturally would not stop it.

Today, after hearing that Wang Xiaoniang and they are back again, Huang Shi frowned and asked, "What are you doing when you come back?" If the brothers and sisters of the Wang family want to sell their military registration, then I will definitely not be able to do it, unless he can achieve the first level of Shangshu. ”

Huang Shi's joke made Hong Antong laugh too: "My lord, do you still plan to meet Little Lady Wang?"

"Nope. Huang Shi replied without hesitation, his eyes hesitating again: "Why did they come back?"

"It is said that the military households in Shandong do not earn as much military salaries as our military households on Changsheng Island, so they came back again. It seems that their uncle's family can't help much. ”

"It seems that yes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. "Now, with the increase in the income of Changsheng Island, the salaries of the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Left Association have become more and more. Of course, according to Huangshi's consistent principle, the welfare of the officers and men of Changsheng Island and Xuanfeng Battalion will still be higher than that of other officers and men of the Dongjiang Left Association.

If there is no benefit to his own people, then who will come to Yellowstone?

"I heard that the Wang family brother still can't say that he can't look outside, and he doesn't know how to understand it when he looks at it, but it's better to see Changsheng Island. As long as you can find an opportunity to learn a good trade, life is much better than farming. ”

"Well, I hope so, too. ”

Changsheng Island has partially realized the social division of labor, and there are thousands of military households that have begun to evolve in the direction of industrial workers, who have gradually forgotten how to farm, and are becoming more and more proficient in their profession, and they have also relied on this profession to make a good living. This part of the people is the group of people that Huangshi relies on the most, but in turn, they are also the most dependent on Huangshi, and they are inseparable from the small society of Changsheng Island.

The fourth year of junior high school.

"Lord Qiqi Jiannu has sent it...... A messenger was sent. Hong Antong's tone was not very smooth when he made a report, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little strange.

"Oh~?" Huang Shi put down the work in his hand, and it seemed that the messenger had brought important news again, otherwise Hong Antong would not have bothered Huang Shi when he was busy.

"The envoy of the Lord is the lady of the Chen family. ”

"Oh~" Huang Shi's face remained unchanged, he lowered his head again, drew a mark with a pen on the place he saw, and then sighed: "Invite her to sit in the study for a while, and I will come to dress a little." ”

Huang Shi changed into a neat uniform, Zhao Slowxiong and Li Yunrui rushed to the study before him, and when Huang Shi came in, they and Hong Antong had already been inquiring for a while, and Liaoyang's intelligence had already recorded a lot of things.

"Little lady Chen. Huang Shi politely saluted, glanced at the coffee table of the eldest girl of the Zhao family, and hurriedly called the soldiers to change the hot water, smiled and asked for warmth.

Miss Zhao was carried by Houjin soldiers in a sedan chair to the Gaizhou Dongjiang outpost of Gaizhou, and after inquiring about her identity, she did not dare to delay and hurriedly sent her to Fuzhou. Jia Minghe in Fuzhou was taken aback, and strictly ordered that no leaks should be heard, so he sent the eldest girl of the Zhao family to Changsheng Island.

"Huang Dashuai doesn't have to be too polite to the little girl. Miss Zhao sat weakly in the chair, and the fear of these days, as well as the bumps and fatigue of this road, made this twenty-four-year-old girl on the verge of collapse. But Miss Zhao has been gritting her teeth and refusing to collapse, and just now she was still fighting her spirits, coping with the questions of the internal security and military intelligence departments of Changsheng Island, and doing her best to cooperate with their work.

Now that she finally persevered until she saw Huang Shi, the eldest girl of the Zhao family took out a letter from her personal collection, held it, and stretched out her arm to Huang Shi straightly: "Huang Dashuai, as long as you say a word, my sister's life will be saved." ”

Huang Shi silently took the letter and paced around the room to read it.

Huang Taiji also insisted that they Houjin was sincere in negotiating peace, so he planned to return the second girl Zhao and the pair of concubines in Liaoyang to Huangshi, just to avoid misunderstanding, Huang Taiji had to let her sister confirm with Huangshi. If Huang Shi admits that Zhao Er is his wife, then as long as there is a note, Huang Taiji will hand over Zhao Er to Huang Shi's people at the time and place specified by Huang Shi.
