As we enter September, the winds on Wajima are cold.

After Wang Ziteng got off the warship, he straightened his waist and left the dock, and waited until he entered the city and returned to the Shuaifu, and then he entered the house and lay down on the soft collapse with the support of his own soldiers.

Wang Ziteng, who did not know the destiny of heaven, no longer had the majesty of the fierce generals of the past at this time, but was like the old man who was in his last years, coughing again and again.

"Master Hou, let's call the doctor to come and take a look at you."

The soldiers are really worried about their master's body, and the temperature on the island drops much earlier than in the capital.

It's only September, and as long as there is no sunshine, there is already a cold white fog on the island.

Once you go to sea, your master will get sick once. The most important thing is that the master is holding on for the sake of the overall situation.

Although the soldiers persuaded him again, Wang Ziteng still shook his head.

"Go and find the prettiest woman in the city......"

"Master......"

The prince waved his hand: "Go, the old rule, people find them and send them to the backyard, as long as they don't leave the yard, you can send them over if they want." ”

If it was before, Wang Ziteng would not have any benevolent heart, and after using these women, it would be good to be able to keep a whole corpse. 、

But now it is different, he wants to accumulate blessings for the Wang family.

"By the way, why is there no news from King Jing's side? You send another team of men and horses to the Hizen Domain to ask. Ahem......"

As he spoke, Wang Ziteng shivered and coughed.

The soldiers sent the hot ginger soup, and waited for Wang Ziteng to take a few sips, and then continued to reply: "There is no news from King Jing's side, but there is a messenger over there from Ishimi, who was sent by King Jing earlier, saying that there is news in the capital, and His Majesty has restored the title of Marquis Yongfeng, and plans to leave Beijing as soon as Marquis Yongfeng leaves Beijing in the first month of September, and comes to the Wa Kingdom to serve as the supervisor of the Japanese army, and also orders the Fusang Protectorate to pacify the envoy. ”

"According to the time calculation, Jia Cong should already be on his way to Dengzhou."

Hearing that Jia Cong was coming, Wang Ziteng's mood was quite complicated.

Jia Cong was a helper who wanted to come with the emperor, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and his physical condition was much worse than expected.

I'm afraid he won't be able to survive Jia Cong's arrival in the Wa Kingdom!

"Master, according to the opinion of his subordinates, King Jing should not plan to return to Beijing, he is avoiding it."

The soldiers hesitated again and again but put forward their opinions, and Wang Ziteng only smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Not to mention other people, how could Wang Ziteng not think like this in his heart.

Liu Yi, the king of Jing, is the most warlike person in the royal family. This person is the reincarnation of the killing god, and what is the difference between killing him and killing him before the full-scale war is about to start?

Since he arrived on Wadao with the holy decree, he has not found Liu Yi's people.

Liu Yi is here to avoid him, and when the battle is over, Liu Yi must be spreading: Look, it's not that I don't obey the holy decree, it's that I haven't seen the holy decree at all, so it can't be said that I don't obey the decree......

"One Liu Yi, one Liu Ke, one Jia Enhou, all of them are not fucking good things!"

Wang Ziteng couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, smiling bitterly.

In order to force the emperor to have to give grace to the Wang family, Wang Ziteng planned to fight with his life.

But Liu Yi has not shown up so far, and he can't even get the command of the army.

Otherwise, he has already begun to arrange his troops, and when the time comes, he will officially start the war of conquest.

The titular minister of the Qincha and the governor of the Imperial Empire, Prince Teng, could only take 5,000 sailors to garrison the Izumo Domain, and went to the sea every few days to fight the wilderness, and for more than half a year, the results of the battle could not even make up the number of 1,000 enemies, and he was embarrassed to report the victory to the capital.

Wang Ziteng finished scolding Liu Yi, and his mood became more and more depressed.

He drank the ginger soup in one gulp, got up and sat down at the desk, and wrote again: "Liu Yi, I know you can receive the letter." Count me as a fucking begger, hurry up and come to the Izumo Domain and give me the tiger talisman......"

……

Jia Cong's least favorite thing is the parting scene, so he did not allow his family to send him when he left Beijing in early September.

Riding a fast horse for less than half a month, he rushed to the Dengzhou wharf.

He didn't even think about taking a day off, so he boarded the battleship provided by the Dengzhou Navy Division on the same day, took advantage of the wind, and began the long and boring voyage.

"Gross!"

"I didn't expect the prince to get seasick!"

"I'm not seasick, I'm seasick!"

Seasickness and seasickness are two different things, at least in Jia Cong's opinion.

He didn't expect that after he went to sea, he would be as good as the old imperial doctor with white hair.

The old man Li Shiqian was personally ordered by the emperor to order Jia Cong to take him out of Beijing together.

Among the people with the best Chinese medicine skills in Tai Hospital, Li Shiqian is not the youngest, but his body bones are definitely the strongest.

Li Shiqian, who was born in Taoism, is not only a good silver needle, but also a good swordsmanship.

Jia Cong saw this flying eaves walking on the wall with his own eyes, and a sword singled out the three pro-soldiers without falling behind.

"Okay, take one of these pills, and you'll get used to it after a few days."

Seasickness is not incurable, Li Shiqian only had a few stitches, and Jia Cong felt much more comfortable.

A bitter pill went down his stomach, and Jia Cong's whole face was wrinkled.

He was about to give advice to Mr. Li to add some sugar to the pills, when he heard a knock on the cabin door.

"Third master, there is a message from the Eagle Falcon, His Royal Highness King Jing asked us to be prepared, he accidentally knocked down the six feudal domains such as Iyo, Tosa, and Awa. The remnants of these clans have fled to the sea, and they may meet us......"

It's a good accident, and in one go, he knocked down the six feudal domains of the Japanese Kingdom, and you told me that it was accidental?

Jia Cong really didn't even want to complain, so he could only roll his eyes, take the letter and read it.

The eagle falcon sent a letter, and the content of the letter was not too much, just a few sentences.

Roughly speaking, it means that he Liu Yi has a personal soldier who disappeared on the territory of the Iyo Domain, and His Royal Highness King Jing, who loves soldiers like a son, led his troops over to search for it.

I don't want the people of the Iyo clan to be ignorant, so I have to stop it......

"Lord Wang was tricked by King Jing, it seems that the strategy set at the beginning has to be changed."

Jia Cong couldn't complain about Liu Yi's operation, but he felt quite cool in his heart.

However, his face still showed a solemn expression, and he studied the map on the table with a headache.

For example, today's dynasty has already occupied one-sixth of the land of the Wa Kingdom, such as Hizen, Higo, and Iwami, and the forces of the Celestial Empire in the Wa Kingdom are not enough to spread out the battle.

Wang Ziteng is in Izumo, Liu Yi is in Awa, and the two have different strategic directions for the next step, which is troublesome.

It stands to reason that at this time, Wang Ziteng is the commander of the army and has the final decision.

But Liu Yi obviously didn't want to return to Beijing, and it was difficult for Wang Ziteng to snatch the military power from him......

"I have a headache, King Jing, this is a big problem for me!"

Liu Yi's meaning of sending this letter was very simple, he wanted Jia Cong to help him, and he wanted half of the people from Wang Ziteng.

"It is definitely not possible to attack the north and south at the same time, so that the forces are scattered, and as long as the enemy eats one together, the other will be dangerous."

Jia Cong finally decided to reject Liu Yi's idea, don't look at the progress of the early Celestial Empire, which went very smoothly, and almost took one-sixth of the land of the Wa Kingdom without blood.

But in fact, up to now, the total number of military exploits has not exceeded 10,000.

It's not that the people are small and widowed, but that people have gathered their living forces around Kyoto.

Who is water-soluble? He is more insidious than anyone else.

This guy is definitely deliberately preserving his strength, so as to avoid the edge in the early stage.

"Victory is not arrogant or defeated, and His Royal Highness King Jing must not underestimate this person, let alone underestimate the Japanese people...... His Majesty Prince Teng is the commander himself, and even if His Royal Highness King Jing does not want to return to Beijing, he cannot delay the handover...... In my opinion, I will first go north, bypass Kyoto, capture the rest of the feudal domains, and finally surround the enemy and annihilate them......"

In his letter to Liu Yi, Jia Cong once again emphasized the importance of Wang Ziteng as the coach.

Later, he clarified his point of view, since the Wa Kingdom concentrated its main forces near Kyoto, it was necessary to take the rest of the feudal domains first.

In the end, one will close the door and fight the dogs, even if they don't attack, they can consume the people and horses in Kyoto.

It can reduce the damage of the Celestial Empire's army, and it costs some money and food, and the Celestial Empire has silver money and grain.

sent a letter to Liu Yi, but Jia Cong was still not at ease.

He could only write another letter to Wang Ziteng, took the falcon with the ship, and handed it out.

Jia Cong finally stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the falcon that was flying in the sky and gradually disappeared, and said with a wry smile: "I hope King Jing can be a good person this time, Wang Ziteng is already pitiful enough......"

……

The sea route from the Celestial Empire to the Wa Kingdom was fast but difficult to supply.

Jia Cong and his entourage had no choice but to go east, stop at Gwangju, Goryeo, and then go south to Wajima, and finally encountered several small-scale "pirates" attacks, and after killing hundreds of pirates, they finally arrived at the Izumo Domain on the eleventh day of the winter month.

At this time, Izumo had been snowing heavily for several days, and thin ice was coming out of the sea.

Wang Ziteng's physical condition was obviously worse, if it weren't for Jia Cong's familiarity with him, he wouldn't dare to admit it.

Li Shiqian grabbed Wang Ziteng's arm, and frowned as soon as he took his hand.

Jia Cong took a step forward, helped Wang Ziteng, who almost fell, and asked in a low voice, "Old Li, how is it?" ”

"Go back to the city first!"

Li Shiqian, under Wang Ziteng's signal, did not say it in public. Instead, he split the eyes of others and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

Immediately, everyone returned to the temporary Dadu Governor's Mansion, and Li Shiqian said to Jia Cong: "Qi and blood are deficient, and there is an evil wind entering the body, if it doesn't come in time, he won't survive this month!" ”

Jia Cong couldn't understand this kind of professional terminology, so he could only ask again: "Old Li, didn't you say before that as long as you take proper supplements, can you last a few more years?" ”

"Then we also need the cooperation of our Marquis Wang!"

Li Shiqian has always been unkind to disobedient patients, and after saying a word of yin and yang, he directly started and pulled off Wang Ziteng's coat.

Even patting, scraping, and needles, stunned Wang Ziteng sweated in the winter.

"Void Cheng still dares to toss around like this, and blindly takes tonics, not only did he fail to make up for his qi and blood, but he also used up almost the last bit of potential. Let someone else come, and in ten days it will be time for you to mourn! ”

Wang Ziteng was smiling bitterly, and Li Shiqian was displeased.

He healed yin and yang on the one hand, and even called Wang Ziteng's personal soldiers and threw him a prescription to catch the medicine.

Compared with this group of Tie Hanhan's personal soldiers who cooked a pot of ginseng and deer antler velvet at every turn, Li Shiqian adopted the method of warm supplementation.

Jia Cong also saw that the Wang family's group of Tie Hanhan soldiers didn't understand the harm of making up for it at all.

The emperor asked him to bring Li Shiqian, an old baby, or the war would have to lie down and go back to Beijing.

Crunch!

The door was pushed open, and a cold wind blew into the room.

Li Shiqian scolded unceremoniously and got out, and Liu Yi also found Wang Ziteng, who was almost pierced in the wrong acupuncture point because of trembling.

He hurriedly closed the door, apologized to Old Man Li and Wang Ziteng, and said, "It's me who is wrong, and I ask Old Li and Brother Wang to forgive me." ”

No matter how people say it, he is also a prince, and Old Man Li is not too likely to blame, but he frowned and explained: "This set of needles must be completed, otherwise we will have to report the funeral to Jingzhong, and we can't be sloppy at all." He also asked the prince and the prince to guard the door of the house, and no one was allowed to disturb them. ”

At this moment, Liu Yi really understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly greeted the soldiers outside the house, and stayed at the door with Jia Cong, not even daring to come out.

It is true that he wants to stay in the Wa Kingdom to fight, but he is not yet looking forward to the death of the prince.

Before the war officially started, the boss died, and it would be a big problem.

……

Li Shiqian and Lord Yan really didn't have the skills to rob people, at least in Jia Cong's opinion, after Wang Ziteng drank the medicine, the gray look on his face went a little bit.

However, he did hold on to the extreme, and it was difficult to insist on discussing matters in the army with Jia Cong and Liu Yi.

At Li Shiqian's insistence, a bowl of soothing soup went down and fell asleep, leaving only Jia Cong and Liu Yi looking at each other.

"How can the prince be in Izumo?"

Liu Yi slammed at the sleeping prince Tengnunu on the bed: "Na, didn't you say that I should come over to discuss with Lao Wang?" I've been here for almost a month, and this guy wants to drive me back to the capital every day. ”

Speaking of which, Liu Yi has to be grateful to Jia Cong for that letter.

The ghost knows that the lord of the ten princesses, who is in the night of the Izumo Domain every day, is already terminally ill and almost mourns the board.

Wang Ziteng is really so shady that he even uses his reputation to confuse the enemy......

The two of them went to the study on the side as they spoke.

There was a fire burning in the study, which was warm, which made Jia Cong, who had been on the road for two and a half months, want to sleep.

But at this time, he couldn't take care of sleeping, he had to cheer up, because Liu Yi told him a not-so-good news.

"It should be that Wen Taibao and your master offended Xiyi too ruthlessly, and Xiyi and the Japanese people completely colluded together. According to the information sent by the spies, the Japanese reached an agreement with Xiyi, opened the country, and welcomed Xiyi into the country. At this time, near Kyoto, in addition to 300,000 Japanese soldiers and horses, there were tens of thousands of Xiyi coalition troops. Moreover, from the direction of Luzon, a large number of Xiyi warships are coming in a steady stream. ”

"This is indeed a big trouble, unlike the Japanese people, Xiyi's sailors, warships, and firearms are not much inferior to us......"

In the eyes of the Japanese people, the Celestial Empire was ruthless and awe-inspiring.

The power of the suzerainty for thousands of years has made the Japanese people dare not underestimate the Celestial Empire in the slightest.

Being able to win over Xiyi to help in the war can at least make the Japanese feel more likely to win.

"But it doesn't matter, the widows can pull a helper, and we can't pull it if it doesn't make sense."

Jia Cong looked at the name of the leader of the Xiyi coalition army and smiled coldly: "As long as we fight the English, the Kingdom of France is our natural ally!" ”
