Shaoxing Mansion,

In the prefect's yamen,

Lin Mang sat on the top, flipped through the secret report in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect the situation in Zhejiang to be so erosive. ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Tang Qi stood at the foot of the hall and arched his hand: "Master Hou, I just received an urgent report, General Qi's army will arrive in two days." ”

Lin Mang put down the secret report in his hand, shook his head and said, "The matter in Zhejiang still needs to be resolved as soon as possible." ”

"One more day of delay, and one more day of misery for the people here."

Tang Qi was surprised and said, "Master Hou, what do you mean ......?"

As soon as the words fell, a brocade guard outside the hall came and said, "Master Hou, Shaoxing Wei Qianhu Lu An asks to see you." ”

Lin Mang thought for a moment and said, "Let him come in." ”

Soon, Lu An walked in with an excited face, and saluted: "Shaoxing Qianhu Lu An, meet the Hou Ye." ”

"Get up."

Lin Mang's eyes raised slightly, glanced at Lu An, and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Lu An arched his hand and said: "The lower officials came here to thank the Hou Ye for the people of Shaoxing City." ”

Lin Mang glanced at Lu An with a smile, and said softly, "Do you have something to ask for?" ”

Lu An didn't have the slightest intention of being poked in embarrassment, so he knelt directly on one knee and said respectfully: "Hou Ye Mingjian, my subordinates want to join Jinyiwei!" ”

From the moment he saw the Jinyi guards fighting outside the city, he had this thought.

He had wanted to join the Mariner, but now he has changed his mind.

Lin Mang stood up, looked at Lu An, and said with interest: "Do you want to give up your official position as a thousand households?" ”

Lu An did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "Xia Guan is willing to start as an ordinary brocade guard." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Lu An raised his head and arched his hand: "Master Hou, there is something to do with your subordinates. ”

"The lower officials found out that these groups of Japanese robbers are by no means ordinary Japanese robbers, and they ...... There are many officials, as well as local forces, who are secretly colluding with them. ”

There are some things that everyone knows, but you are in the officialdom, and even if you don't participate in some things, you can only imply them.

The protection of officials and officials is always an immutable theorem.

The reason why the Japanese can be so unscrupulous is that no one deliberately implied it, and even how many people took the opportunity to use the name of the Japanese to secretly seek benefits for themselves.

He is saying this at the moment, which is extremely taboo in officialdom.

If Wu Anhou is unwilling to let him join Jinyiwei, his future career will be considered useless.

So he's gambling too!

Lin Mang glanced at him and said calmly, "You want to talk about the Taihu Gang." ”

Lu Antong shrank as a result.

"Master Hou, you ......"

He just wanted to ask how Master Hou knew, but he quickly swallowed the words back from his mouth.

Lin Mang smiled, turned around, and said coldly: "The army will rest here for a day, and tomorrow the troops will send to Ningbo." ”

That little bamboo vine mountain is not an ordinary ronin, and his status is not low, but he knows a lot of things.

As long as the leader of the rebellion is resolved, everything will be over.

The rest of the rebellious robbers are all rogues, and there is nothing to be feared.

It just so happened that the warships that crossed the sea had not yet been raised, so the matter was easily resolved.

……

ningbo

The villa outside the city, a continuous building complex, there is a group of fierce hardcover men patrolling outside the village.

In the open space outside the villa, there is a big flag, which reads - Taihu Lake!

This place is the station of the Taihu Gang, as one of the five gangs in the world, the Taihu Gang, occupies the Yangtze River waterway, and has a very high prestige.

The entire coastal water transport, and even sea smuggling, is involved in the Taihu Gang.

There are very high stakes involved in the water trade, not to mention the smuggling business, which involves the transportation of salt.

In just a few decades, the Taihu Gang relied on the Yangtze River waterway to develop and grow, ranking below the five gangs in the rivers and lakes, claiming to have 200,000 gangs.

Of course, this gang of 200,000 is not accurate, it is more of a coolie who begs for a living under the Taihu Gang.

But even so, the power of the Taihu Gang also radiates to the three coastal provinces, involving Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu.

Many people say that the Taihu Gang still has a foundation overseas, but this has not been confirmed.

And to be able to occupy such a large interest, the Taihu Gang naturally has the support of people from the government behind it.

Originally, the headquarters of the Taihu Gang was located in Jiangsu, but later moved to Ningbo.

At this moment, the headquarters of the Taihu Gang and the hall were full of people.

It's just that the clothes on these people are obviously not Ming costumes, but the clothes of Dongying Ronin, with half of their chests exposed.

One of them was holding two beautiful women in his arms, and the expressions on his faces were very presumptuous, and he laughed from time to time.

On the other side, a Dongying ronin even grabbed a woman's head with one hand and pressed it stiffly......

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

As footsteps sounded, a middle-aged man in a long robe and a long beard barged in.

Seeing the scene in the room, he immediately said angrily: "Enough! ”

"This is my Taihu Gang, you pay attention to me."

"Huh!"

Hearing this, the Dongying samurai sitting at the top casually pulled away the woman in his arms and stretched out his hand to pinch it.

"Kacha!"

With two soft sounds, the two women in their arms immediately widened their eyes and lost their breath.

"Yoshihiro Shimazu!"

The person who came shouted angrily, and his expression was furious.

"Gang Leader Jiang." Shimazu Yoshihiro casually threw down the corpse and said, "We did you so much, enjoy it, not too much, right?" ”

This person is none other than Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eight generals, Shimazu Yoshihiro.

As one of the powerful daimyo under Toyotomi Hideyoshi and a veteran, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to send him, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi was very ambitious, and the annexation of Kyushu also made him extremely inflated, he did not lose his mind, and he knew that the country in the east should not be underestimated.

Shimazu Yoshihiro took a sip of the tea on the table and said calmly: "Gang Master Jiang is here, but is there something?" ”

Jiang Chaonian's face was gloomy, and he automatically ignored the filthy scene in this room, and said coldly: "You should leave." ”

"When the imperial army arrives, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

"I have received news that the imperial court has sent Qi Jiguang to lead the army, and the Qi family army will soon come from Fujian."

A large part of the reason why the Japanese were able to be unscrupulous in Zhejiang was also because of the transfer of the Qi family's army.

Because of the need to prepare for the construction of a water division, Qi Jiguang transferred Qi's army to Fujian.

"The army?"

Shimazu Yoshihiro chuckled lightly and said, "Just by your Ming army? ”

Before the future, he was also extremely vigilant in his heart.

As a veteran of the army, he never took an opponent lightly.

But since the vanguard was sent to fight with the Ming army, it was found that the so-called Ming army was completely vulnerable.

It went so well.

It's really a waste of so many weapons and armor.

Although the number of those Ming troops was quite large, their combat effectiveness was really not flattering.

Even those so-called Jinyi guards still have some combat effectiveness, but he doesn't care about it.

Jiang Chaonian sneered: "What you see is just the local army of the Ming Dynasty. ”

He also knows what the strength of the Zhejiang guards is.

But there are 200,000 soldiers and horses in the capital, and that is the real elite.

If the Ming army was like this, then he wouldn't be so afraid.

Jiang Chaonian continued coldly: "It's okay for you to look for death, but don't bother me." ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro looked at Jiang Chaonian in surprise, and then chuckled: "Gang Master Jiang, isn't this you?" ”

"Don't forget, we're in business."

"This old gang leader of the Taihu Gang, if we didn't help you eradicate it, you, the deputy gang leader, wouldn't have a chance to sit in the position of gang leader, right?"

Shimazu Yoshihiro looked at Jiang Chaonian meaningfully and smiled playfully.

Leave?

It's so rich here, how can you leave so easily.

After such a long time of fighting in Dongying, Shimazu Yoshihiro first arrived in Zhejiang, and was quickly attracted by the richness here.

In Toying, although he is also a daimyo and has extremely high rights, he is unparalleled in beauty, but how can he compare with this place.

He didn't think he could really occupy it, but at least he had to loot enough wealth.

There was a burning look of greed in his eyes.

Jiang Chaonian's face was gloomy, how could he not hear the threat in his words.

At the moment, he had only remorse in his heart.

The history of the Taihu Gang is not very bright.

In the final analysis, which one can survive on the rivers and lakes is not stepping on white bones and blood, and which one is clean.

As a water transport business, dealing with pirates is indispensable.

At sea, it is common to deal with and cooperate with the Japanese pirates, smuggle and ship ships, and even plunder merchant ships and attack competitors.

There are many things that cannot be put on the surface.

Cooperation with the Japanese Invaders, which was expressly forbidden by the imperial court.

"Who?"

Suddenly, Shimazu Yoshihiro's face turned cold, and he looked up at the roof.

Beside him, a masked figure in black appeared out of thin air, disappeared suddenly, and when he reappeared, a person was already kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this person, Jiang Chaonian's face changed slightly, and he exclaimed: "Zheng Hui!?" ”

Zheng Hui is a rookie of the Taihu Gang, and he also has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes.

Zheng Hui raised his head, stared at Jiang Chaonian, glared angrily, and said coldly: "Traitor! ”

"I didn't expect you to be like this."

"You killed the gang leader!"

He had long felt that the death of the gang leader was abnormal, and he had been secretly investigating, but the deputy gang leader of the most Jiang was acting strangely.

"Shameless villain!" Zheng Hui sneered: "People like you, no wonder the helper is unwilling to hand over the position of helper to you." ”

"You know what!?"

Jiang Chaonian said angrily: "Without me Jiang Chaonian, can the Taihu Gang have today?" ”

"That old guy is an old stubborn, if I hadn't secretly plotted, would my Taihu Gang have the power it has today?"

"Why?"

"All the bad things are done by Lao Tzu, but in the end you are all grateful to him?"

"He even wants to give the position of helper to a woman."

Zheng Hui sneered, "Even so, you shouldn't cooperate with the Wakos. ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro slowly stood up and looked at Jiang Chaonian, with a playful smile on his face: "Gang Leader Jiang, look at it, you have worked hard to plan all this, and others don't appreciate it very much." ”

Jiang Chaonian's face was ugly.

"Phew!"

Zheng Hui spat at Shimazu Yoshihiro and sneered: "Even you cowards, you are also delusional about attacking my Daming. ”

"Don't pee on yourself either!"

Although the Japanese are rampant, most people despise these people from the bottom of their hearts.

The invasion of the Japanese invaded, and many gangs in various places also participated in the resistance.

Shimazu Yoshihiro stretched out his hand and landed on top of Zheng Hui's head, bowing his head and smiling slightly.

In an instant, five fingers are forced!

"Kacha!"

Zheng Hui's eyes widened angrily, the Tong hole was sudden, and blood flowed out of the seven orifices.

"You ......" Jiang Chaonian stared at Shimazu Yoshihiro angrily and snorted coldly: "Who told you to do it?" ”

"I'm here to help you."

Shimazu Yoshihiro chuckled and wiped Zheng Hui's clothes casually.

Jiang Chaonian said coldly: "I don't need your help!" ”

"If you don't leave, if you really wait for the Jinyi Guard to arrive, you will only have to wait for death."

"Let me tell you the truth, the strongest person in the Ming Dynasty today is Wu Anhou, who is Jinyiwei."

"The entire Daming rivers and lakes are under the control of Jinyiwei, and I have received news that the Marquis of Wu Anhou has left Beijing."

Although he got the news that Wu'an Hou had left Beijing, he did not know whether he would come to Zhejiang.

But even so, he still didn't dare to be careless.

"Wu Anhou?"

The smile on Shimazu's face gradually disappeared, and he said in a deep voice, "I've heard a lot of rumors about him recently. ”

The weight of a land true immortal is worthy of his attention.

As a confidant under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, his insight is naturally far from human.

Before he came, he had seen the "oracle" with his own eyes, and he had also seen the power of the oracle, and he knew the horror of such characters.

That kind of earth-destroying power is simply not something that people can have.

Toyotomi-sama was able to rule Kyushu thanks to the help of that divine envoy.

According to Toyotomi-sama, the oracle seems to be a figure above the Grand Master.

In the entire Dongying, there are only a handful of great grandmasters, only a few of them, and their status is extraordinary, so that divine envoy almost has the status of a "god" in the entire Dongying.

He also knew in his heart that although the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were weak, there were many strong ones, so they had to have a good relationship with these Ming forces, and then hold their handles.

As long as you hold their handle, you want to hold their lifeblood, and you can only do things for them obediently.

Jiang Chaonian seemed to see Shimazu Yoshihiro's worries, and sneered: "I thought you were really fearless." ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and his face was gloomy, but he still said indifferently: "What Wu'an Hou, in the end, you have to surrender to us." ”

Jiang Chaonian didn't say more, but his disdain was overflowing.

Although he cooperated with the Dongying people, he also looked down on them in his heart.

The next moment, a terrifying loud bang sounded outside the entire mountain villa, accompanied by bursts of miserable wails.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Chaonian looked shocked.

The disciples of the Taihu Gang in the entire mountain villa were also in a mess, and there were exclamations one after another all around.

Shimazu's face changed slightly.

Beside him, a ninja suddenly appeared and said respectfully, "Daimyo, there are many brocade guards outside. ”

"What?!"

Jiang Chaonian exclaimed, completely panicked, and said in horror: "It can't be Wu'anhou, right?" ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro was also panicked in his heart, and quickly turned his head to look at the ninja on the side and asked, "How many people?" ”

"About four or five thousand people."

Jiang Chaonian's face turned pale, a chill surged behind him, and he said in a panic: "It's over......"

"It can't really be Wu Anhou, right?"

The news that Marquis Wu An's departure from Beijing with 5,000 brocade guards has long been well known.

Jiang Chaonian looked at Shimazu Yoshihiro and shouted, "Get out of here!" ”

"If Jinyiwei finds out, you and I will not end well."

Yoshihiro Shimazu's face turned pale.

It's too embarrassing to leave in disgrace like this.

As soon as Shimazu Yoshihiro wanted to speak, a disciple of the Taihu Gang outside rushed in covered in blood and said in horror: "Jiang ...... Gang Leader Jiang, Jinyiwei killed many of our disciples. ”

"They kill anyone they see!"

Shimazu Yoshihiro couldn't take care of it anymore, and said coldly: "Let's go!" ”

As soon as everyone wanted to leave, a white sword light came from outside the house.

"Be careful, sir!"

The ninja on the side hurriedly spoke, drawing his sword and slashing.

But before the knife in his hand fell, a frightened head immediately rose into the sky.

Blood splattered!

The faces of the Dongying warriors present changed greatly.

The ninja who guards Shimazu-sama is a grandmaster......

The next moment, a group of brocade guards broke in with knives, their faces full of murderous anger.

Immediately after, a figure dressed in a black unicorn suit stepped in.

Jiang Chaonian's face turned pale, as if he had drained all his strength, and he lost his voice and said, "Wu ...... Wu Anhou! ”

Now the portrait of Wu Anhou is spread all over the world, not to mention that there is such a powerful person, except for Wu Anhou, there is no one else in the whole world.

Shimazu Yoshihiro's face was solemn.

"Get on your knees!"

The voice of the desert sounded.

Jiang Chaonian did not hesitate at all, and decisively knelt down, his face frightened, and said in fear: "Master Hou...... Spare your life! ”

The moment he saw Wu Anhou, he knew that everything was over.

There was silence.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chaonian in shock, with a look of disbelief, the dignified Taihu gang leader actually said that he would kneel?

Lin Mang stood in the courtyard, a sea of blood seemed to be reflected behind him, and said calmly: "Did you let you speak?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chaonian's eyes suddenly became frightened, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and blood flowed from the seven orifices.

Lin Mang glanced at it and said, "You are Shimazu Yoshihiro?" ”

"Forget it!"

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Mang shook his head, and pointed out lightly.

The Endless True Yuan circulated between his fingers, and the terrifying power of heaven and earth descended in an instant.

Rumble!!

It was as if a majestic mountain had descended over the entire house.

In an instant, the surrounding houses collapsed and shattered, and the faces of the people in the house were even more distorted, and their bodies exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

The ground shook!

Lin Mang shook his head, slightly disappointed.

I thought there would be some great masters, but it turned out to be some rubbish.

But it's better than nothing, and it can be regarded as contributing some energy points.

"Kill them all!"

"Whoever colludes with the Japanese will not be left behind!"
