"Admiral Shen, you're here."

"The little one has seen Admiral Shen!"

"Admiral Shen, I'm Wang Xiaoliu, and now my injuries are completely healed."

"And my injuries are also thanks to the medicine brought by Admiral Shen!"

"Admiral Shen is very kind and virtuous, and the little one will never forget!"

The ordinary rebels on both sides of the road shouted enthusiastically towards Shen Yichen, and those who didn't know thought that they had entered the camp of the imperial guard, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.

Shen Yichen ordered Xu Fengyuan to bring the herb doctor, and it can be said that he didn't know how many lives of the rebels he saved, which was the care and dedication that they had not experienced in Fujian officials.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, Shen Yichen is worthy of the people of Fujian, and worthy of the soldiers of the rebel army, they will naturally remember this kindness.

It's just that this scene fell in Deng Maoqi's eyes, the expression on his face was complicated, and his heart could be described as mixed. Shen Yichen's prestige in the rebel army has far exceeded his expectations, and there is even a feeling of dominance.

Speaking from his heart, Shen Yichen was a good official, and he did his best to save the lives of the rebels. But he can't represent the Ming court, let alone the officials of the world, can a person's efforts change the way of the world?

Deng Maoqi always thought that his refusal to recruit was not the obvious ambition and hegemony of the emperor in Shen Yichen's mouth, he was also thinking about the 100,000 rebel brothers!

"Admiral Shen, meet again."

Seeing Shen Yichen walk in front of him, Deng Maoqi still maintained his courtesy, and first bowed his hand.

"Don't come unharmed, Chief Deng."

Shen Yichen replied with a smile, the two of them seemed to be like old friends meeting again, and they couldn't see the identity of any mortal enemies.

"Of course, I also invited Admiral Shen to take a seat in the house, and Deng prepared wine and food to catch the wind and wash the dust."

After saying that, Deng Maoqi turned sideways and made a gesture of please, signaling Shen Yichen to go first.

"Leader Deng, you know that this official's personality has always been straightforward, so there is no need to pick up the wind and wash the dust."

"Why don't we get down to business?"

Shen Yichen has the courage to take risks alone, which does not mean that he is a stunned young man who likes to seek death.

Shen Yichen didn't know who the original owner of the mansion in front of him was, but judging from the posture of this bronze riveting door, it must be a deep mansion compound.

The story of the Hongmen Banquet, I believe that there are few people who don't know, Shen Yichen dared to enter the city to face Deng Maoqi, the biggest guard of honor was actually not the hundreds of guards, but the 100,000 righteous troops under the command of the other party!

After entering this door, Deng Maoqi really made up his mind to kill, and Shen Yichen was not absolutely sure that he would be able to come out.

In that case, the best thing to do is not to go in!

Hearing Shen Yichen's words, Deng Mao's seventh child, Kong Menglie, contracted.

Everyone is a smart person, Shen Yichen's vigilant attitude has been revealed, why doesn't Deng Maoqi understand?

"Admiral Shen is really courageous, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains, and still dares to enter the city."

Deng Maoqi said meaningfully, Shen Yichen's courage really made him admire, so there was no need to pretend to be clear.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. Leader Deng, you may not believe it, but this official always has 100,000 righteous troops in his heart, and he does not want them to become the souls of the imperial army. ”

"Since Admiral Shen has mercy in his heart, why did he lead a large army to suppress the border?"

"Because it's not the official who determines the outcome, it's your leader Deng!"

When he said this, Shen Yichen's tone was extremely serious, and even vaguely angry.

Deng Maoqi led the poor peasant households to revolt and fight against the imperial court to find a way to survive, in a sense, Shen Yichen respected him as a man.

But the dragon slaying boy eventually became an evil dragon, when the 100,000 righteous army was under his command, when the opportunity to divide the territory was in front of him, Deng Maoqi did not resist his inner ambition and desire after all.

His current actions are more about coercing 100,000 righteous troops to accompany the funeral of his imperial hegemony!

Feeling Shen Yichen's anger, Deng Maoqi opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.

What the real purpose is, perhaps only he knows now.

In other words, Deng Maoqi himself doesn't know whether it's right or wrong.

Looking at the other party silent, Shen Yichen turned to glance at Wang Neng, who came to his side with a wooden box.

"Leader Deng, this is a justice for the 100,000 righteous army and countless Fujian people who died in vain!"

As Shen Yichen's voice fell, Wang Neng directly opened the wooden box, and the head of Song Zhang, the political envoy of Fujian, was impressively placed in it!

The appearance of Song Zhang's head immediately caused a commotion among the righteous army in front of the house, including Chen Shangong and others, who were seven of Deng Mao's subordinates, all had a look of surprise on their faces, they didn't expect Shen Yichen to really accept this petition!

This is the highest official of the Fujian Political Division, a second-class member of the imperial court, how much price does Shen Yichen have to pay, and how much risk does he have to bear to bring his head into Quanzhou City?

"Is this really Song Zhang's head?"

A volunteer general muttered a question, as if he didn't quite believe the picture in front of him.

"That's right, I've seen this dog official once, and it's indeed his head!"

"It's Song Zhang, when he came to Jianning Mansion to occupy the fields, Lao Tzu was also dragged to meet the guard of honor, and he will never forget his appearance in his life!"

"Admiral Shen really brought us justice!"

The voice of indignation was endless, but Shen Yichen's eyes were staring at Deng Maoqi.

"Chief Deng, what the official promised has been done, what about you?"

When Shen Yichen left the camp of the rebels, Deng Maoqi made a promise that he was willing to exchange his life for the head of Song Zhang, the political envoy of the right cloth, to repay justice to the people of Fujian.

Now that Song Zhang's head is in front of him, Shen Yichen needs to use Deng Maoqi's life to calm the anger of the court and the emperor!

"Admiral Shen, if you want to take the life of your eldest brother, you have to pass me first!"

Deng Maoba, who was standing behind Deng Maoqi, faced Shen Yichen's aggressiveness, and understood that the timing of the move could not be delayed any longer.

Even in front of the soldiers of the Righteous Army in the distance, he has to strike first and take down Shen Yichen, otherwise the news of Song Zhang's execution will spread all over the camp, and it will be difficult to stabilize the army's heart!

"Deng Maoba, don't ......"

Sensing what his brother wanted to do, Deng Maoqi subconsciously wanted to stop it, but before the word "but" could be spoken, it was covered by Deng Maoba's voice.

"Brothers, do it!"

With an angry roar, several red doors opened, and the cronies who were ambushed in the mansion rushed out and rushed towards Shen Yichen and the others.

This kind of scene made Shen Yichen stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive at all.

The Wu Rui beside him was still experienced, and almost at the moment when the ambush appeared, he shouted at the same time: "Form a formation, cover the Admiral!" ”

Dozens of border guards immediately took off the shields hanging on horseback, and then formed a circle to firmly guard Shen Yichen in it. At the same time, Canghuotou, Ye Zongliu and others also pulled out their long knives at their waists and lined up left and right, confronting the ambush soldiers organized by Deng Maoqi.

The appearance of this scene stunned the ordinary rebel soldiers who stood in the distance and watched Shen Yichen, they thought that this was a peace meeting with Zhao'an, but in an instant, swords faced each other, what went wrong?

"What's going on, why is Admiral Shen suddenly going to fight with the King of Bulldozing."

"Why are there so many ambushes in the mansion, is it because the king has been prepared to raze the level?"

"Even Boss Ye has drawn his knife, it seems that the situation is indeed critical!"

"What should we do, do we save Admiral Shen or help the king be bulldozed?"

The rebel soldiers were all kinds of talking, and at the same time they were deeply confused, they did not know what to do.

One side is loyalty, one side is righteousness, and it is a choice that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to complete!

"Deng Maoqi, do you really plan to be treacherous?"

Ye Zongliu roared angrily, during this period of time, he always adopted a pacification strategy for Deng Maoqi's expansion and ambitions, and even had the idea of taking the initiative to retreat.

If you want to seize power, Ye Zongliu doesn't care, but if Deng Maoqi wants Shen Yichen's life, then he can't agree to die!

Facing Ye Zongliu's questioning, Deng Maoqi did not answer with a solemn expression.

He didn't want Shen Yichen's life, but the situation forced him to take action, otherwise he wanted his own life.

"If you want to talk about treachery, Boss Ye, you helped the court officials to take my eldest brother's life, do you remember the love of living and dying together after the uprising?"

Deng Maoba also retorted angrily, if it weren't for Ye Zongliu and Jiang Fucheng betraying the rebel army to recruit An, they would not have come to this point at all!

"Lao Tzu can take his own life for the sake of 100,000 righteous brothers, why can't you Deng Maoqi!"

Ye Zongliu, who has always been calm, finally broke out at this moment.

He always thought that Deng Maoqi had not forgotten his original intention, and led the people to expose the uprising in order to find a way to live for the brothers who followed.

Now the way to live is in front of him, but Deng Maoqi, for the sake of power and ambition, chose a dead end to continue to confront the imperial court.

Shen Yichen is dead, there is no mercy on the officials of the Fujian rebels and the people in the world, and the land of Fujian will be slaughtered by the imperial court in retaliation, and when the time comes, there will be a mountain of white bones and corpses and a sea of blood, is this the reward for the brothers of the righteous army living and dying together?

"Big brother has not tasted defeat since the uprising, there is no Shen Yichen, we can also fight a bloody way, we will not lose!"

Deng Maoba stared at his blood-red eyes, he was completely carried away by anger, and there was no way to think rationally.

In the face of this and dangerous situation, Shen Yichen still remained calm, he looked at Deng Maoqi in front of him and said: "Leader Deng, if I can't get out of Quanzhou City today, the 100,000 righteous soldiers and their families won't be able to leave this Quanzhou Mansion. ”

"It's not a threat, it's the status quo."

"For the sake of 100,000 subordinates who were born and died with you, for the sake of hundreds of thousands of parents, wives and children who were implicated, stop it."

The 100,000 rebel army was already mixed with half of the rabble, and the most elite 5,000 miners and furnace men had been incorporated into Shen Yichen's command and became the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division.

The remaining miner furnace men, with Jiang Fucheng under house arrest, and Ye Zong left to die, you can imagine what their morale was.

It's a blessing that they didn't rebel on the spot, let alone ask them to fight against the former Paozawa brothers.

40,000 well-equipped "mourning soldiers" fought against the same number of rebels facing civil strife, and the results were self-evident.

When the war is over, the decree issued by the imperial court will definitely no longer have the words "pardon" and "release", but the death of the rebel!

Shen Yichen's words are not only to save himself, but also to save Deng Maoqi and the rebels!

"Are we frightened, do it!"

Before Deng Maoqi could respond, Deng Maoba had already ordered an attack.

But at this time, Deng Maoqi's subordinate Huang Qin stood up and shouted: "No! ”

"The subordinates risked their lives to admonish, you can't do anything to Admiral Shen to eradicate the king!"

And it wasn't just Huang Qin who stood up, Chen Jingde, Luo Hai and other generals stood between the "two armies" one after another, kneeling towards Deng Maoqi and begging: "Flatten the king, don't be impulsive, otherwise there will be no room for recovery." ”

"You guys! Do you want to betray the king of the bulldozers? ”

Deng Maoba was furious when he looked at this scene, these people were all his eldest brother's henchmen, but now they were openly singing the opposite.

But the next scene that Deng Maoba didn't expect happened, an old man in a long robe in the distance was walking towards here with firm steps.

And behind him, there were countless rebel soldiers.

This old man is none other than Lin Zhen!

"Leader Deng, if you have to do it, the old man is willing to die for his disciple."

Lin Zhen said this sentence loudly, and stood in front of Shen Yichen.

The emaciated back looks extremely tall at the moment, and the dignity of the teacher has never been a one-sided respect, but the inheritance of words and deeds!

"Bulldoze the king, please forgive the last general, Admiral Shen can't die!"

"Bulldoze the king, I, Chen Zhengjing, follow the righteous man of Bo Yuntian, not a treacherous careerist, this time I will protect the Sinking Admiral!"

"Jiang Lutou has been put under house arrest and endured, and now I want to kill Boss Ye and Admiral Shen, I can't bear it. Flatten the king, don't turn our brothers against us! ”

With a roar, more and more rebel soldiers surrounded them, and they all chose to stand on the side of Ye Zongliu and Shen Yichen.

It is as if the scene of Shen Yichen stepping into Quanzhou City for the first time is reproduced.

"Did Leader Deng see it, this is what the people want, one wrong step is a wrong ten thousand steps, stop it."

Looking at the opposition of his subordinates and the soldiers of the rebel army, Deng Maoqi had mixed feelings in his heart, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

He never imagined that one day he would fall into the situation of "betraying his relatives".

"Can Deng's life really be exchanged for Fujian tranquility?"

Deng Maoqi looked at Shen Yichen and asked this sentence silently, only the young man in front of him in the world can answer for himself.

"Yes."

With that, Shen Yichen took out a booklet from his arms.

"This is the fish scale book of the Fujian political secretary, and this official has ordered the land of Fujian to redraw the book, and the borderless land will be distributed to the landless miners, furnace masters, tenants, fishermen, and so on."

"This official can assure you that after Zhao'an, everyone will have land to cultivate, and they will no longer be unclothed and hungry!"

Looking at the fish scale book in Shen Yichen's hand, Deng Maoqi smiled, smiling very happily, as if he had let go of all his burdens.

With laughter, Deng Maoqi suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, but instead of pointing at Shen Yichen, he wiped it in the direction of his neck with his backhand.

Since the imperial court wants to exchange the life of the "first evil" for the life of the righteous army, then this should be regarded as its own repayment, and the ambition of the past is like a dream.

In the talk and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, it is better than a drunk in life.

"Wu Rui, grab the sword!"

At this critical moment, Shen Yichen shouted at Wu Rui.

I saw Wu Rui's spear like a dragon, and with lightning speed, he shot down Deng Maoqi's saber with one shot.

The action was so fast that the vast majority of people did not react.

"Admiral Shen, are you?"

Deng Maoqi's face was full of shock, didn't Shen Yichen want his own life, since he was going to apologize for his crimes, why did he stop it?

"It's easy to die, it's hard to survive, the court wants to kill the first evil, but this official can give you a way to live."

The ambition of the emperor's hegemony is also a driving force in a sense. Since the heroes of the troubled times were born at the wrong time, they may be able to play a miraculous effect if they are placed elsewhere.

This world is very big, not only can you chase the Central Plains, but also conquer the four seas.

The Ming Dynasty needs white gloves, and Shen Yichen also needs it, and there may be no one more suitable for this identity than Deng Maoqi.
