According to the plan, the Japanese robbed Zhu Qizhen out of the filial piety tomb unconsciously, and then went straight to Baohua Mountain to meet the main force.

When this group of people carried Zhu Qizhen to the top of Baohua Mountain, before they had time to catch their breath, more than a thousand Xiaoling guard cavalry came to the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the top of the mountain was the main force of 4,500 Japanese invaders, the mountainside was thousands of Xiaoling guard heavy armored infantry, and at the foot of the mountain was 700 Japanese ambushes.

This time, a thousand Ming army ambushed soldiers, or cavalry, and saw that a massacre was about to be staged.

Wang Ji, Yan Li, and Xu Chengzong led 3,000 people to press the formation behind, and the three of them were full of ambition, and they were about to hit the Japanese invaders hard.

It was too late, but it was too late, and the Japanese on the top of the mountain quickly raised a large white flag, and then shouted in unison: "King Yi is here, truce and truce." ”

It was overcast and drizzling.

The Ming army was already very depressed, and when he heard such a shout, he was stunned in place.

First of all, it is necessary to determine whether the Japanese are cheating?

The Japanese were very understanding, and without waiting for the Ming army to react, they took the initiative to push Zhu Qizhen out.

The Ming army on the mountainside looked up at the top of the mountain, and the middle-aged man surrounded by the Japanese was wearing the prince's clothes.

Because Zhu Qizhen has been under house arrest in the Ming Tower of Xiaoling, and he is not allowed to meet outsiders on weekdays, it is difficult for the soldiers to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

But it is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not.

In case of accidentally injuring the real King Yi, the Nine Clans will be gone.

Soon, a widow walked down the mountain holding a golden seal: "Yiwang Jinyin is here, who is the general, please transfer it to the commander." ”

Even the Yiwang Golden Seal came out? After a brief silence for the Ming army, two thousand households walked out and took the golden seal from the hands of the Japanese Emperor.

Several other thousands and hundreds of households came over, took a closer look, and unanimously agreed that this golden seal was eighty percent true.

So two thousand households led a team of soldiers and went straight to the Chinese army with the golden seal.

Wang Ji and Xu Chengzong have been waiting for a long time, once the top of the mountain is really King Yi, this disaster can be big.

The two thousand households ran to the front, Wang Ji hurriedly caught up, grabbed the golden seal, and after confirming it repeatedly, he sighed to Xu Chengzong: "Woe, woe, this is the real Yiwang Golden Seal."

It seems that the Japanese took advantage of the Xiaoling Guard's outpouring and sent another elite to attack Xiaoling.

I'm really confused, why didn't I expect that the would-be would-be here for King Yi from the beginning. ”

Xu Chengzong also sighed again and again.

And Yan Li was quietly in a daze, and did not say anything.

During the war, Wang Ji was in charge of command, and now that the war could not be fought, the filial piety was again under the command of Yan Li.

Wang Ji asked politely, "Gong Yan, what do you think will happen next?" ”

Yan Li took the lead: "Let's take Xiaolingwei down first, and then take a team of cavalry back to Xiaolingwei to confirm the specific situation."

If it is true that King Yi was taken captive, I will bring some clothes and food over, so as not to let King Yi starve and freeze. ”

Wang Ji and Xu Chengzong both nodded in approval, and Yan Li led a thousand cavalry to leave in a hurry.

Wang Ji commanded the remaining army to assemble at the foot of the mountain and prepare for it.

In less than an hour, Yan Li returned to Xiaoling and entered the Ming Tower, where several little eunuchs under him were in a hurry.

Seeing this, Yan Li angrily reprimanded: "King Yi has been robbed by the Japanese and appeared in front of the battle, how did you behave!" When the news reaches the imperial court, you can wait for the whole family to die. ”

Several little eunuchs were so frightened that they threw themselves at Yan Li's feet, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Godfather, your old man must be saved and the child must be saved."

It rained so hard last night, and we were all following our godfather's orders and honestly guarding King Yi.

I just didn't know what was going on, and I was suddenly knocked out. ”

Yan Li waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, since you are not lazy, then get up, don't howl here, it will make me upset." ”

The little eunuchs sobbed and asked, "Godfather, what about the lives of the sons?" ”

Yan Li said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, my godfather, your godfather is the chief manager of Lingyu Palace, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi Huang Gong."

My godfather can cover me, I can cover you, we are all the emperor's people.

One by one, they have never seen the world, what are the ghosts yelling and screaming.

Don't be stunned, go and search to see if there are any clues left by the widows. ”

When the little eunuchs saw that their godfather was so domineering, they also relieved themselves and began to rummage through the cabinets in the Ming Building.

The widow did not deliberately hide it, and soon the letters under the bedding were found.

After reading the letter, Yan Li didn't show it on his face, but he was happy in his heart, it seemed that he would soon be promoted to the eunuch of Nanjing's Imperial Horse Supervisor.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that I was tired of dogs and abandoned, and I just watched the warehouse in Xiyuan, and in just a few years, I actually got ahead and soared, which is really a great grace.

After a little thought, Yan Li ordered the little eunuch to fetch a wooden box and lock the letter inside.

Holding the wooden box out of the Ming Tower, Yan Li instructed the commander of the Xiaoling Central Guard: "Divide six hundred cavalry, block the gates of the Forbidden City, and protect the prince." No one is allowed to enter or exit, violators will be killed, and the rest will return to the Chinese army with me. ”

Several commanders of Xiaolingwei had already sworn allegiance to Zhu Qiyu, and the command authority in an emergency had already been determined. Last night, Yan Li also read the emperor's secret decree to the commander of the three guards.

Therefore, the commander of Xiaoling Zhongwei did not hesitate and immediately accepted Yan Li's order.

The Forbidden City of Nanjing was sealed off to prevent the subordinate officials of the East Palace from making any more moths.

After noon, Yan Li returned to the Chinese army with four hundred cavalry.

Wang Ji and Wei Chengzong read the letter brought by Yan Li and fell into silence completely.

Wang Jike knows Zhu Qizhen's handwriting too well, and the two letters written by Zhu Qizhen to the Japanese emperor and the general of Zhengyi really can't be true.

Just when the two of them were stunned, Yan Li asked, "I brought clothes and food, let the little eunuch send them to King Yi first."

It's good to take the opportunity to confirm King Yi's situation, what do the two princes think? ”

Wang Ji and Xu Chengzong thought for a while, and then nodded in unison.

Now the two of them can't wait for Yan Li to be in charge of everything. In case something happened, the responsibility was on Yan Li's head.

After another hour, two little eunuchs hurriedly came in and reported to Yan Li: "Godfather, we have arrived at the top of the mountain and met King Yi.

King Yi's clothes were all wet with the rain, and he was shivering there.

The rain has been wet everywhere since yesterday during the day, and there is no fire to be made, and King Yi has suffered a great sin.

Fortunately, the godfather sent his sons to send clean clothes and food, and the sons served King Yi to change their clothes, which made them better. ”

Yan Li nodded: "What did those would-be robbers say, what conditions did they propose?" ”

The little eunuch replied: "Godfather, they want 300,000 taels of silver, 20,000 taels of gold, and give them a hundred warships, and prepare sufficient food."

They took a boat to the mouth of the Yangtze River and released King Yi. ”

When Yan Li heard this, he snorted coldly, thinking that it was quite beautiful, it was really when the gold and silver were blown by the wind. I had already paid the ransom once during the defense of the Jingshi, and now I want to pay it a second time. The Ming Dynasty doesn't want to do anything else, let you knock on the bamboo every day.

Wang Ji asked, "Gong Yan, what should we do next?" It's definitely not okay to fight, and it's not okay to be around. Our 10,000 filial piety guards can't surround 5,000 Japanese in any case.

Either the ransom is over, and when they reach the sea, let the sailors intercept and kill them. ”

Yan Li asked rhetorically, "What if the Japanese Kou receive gold and silver, but they don't let King Yi go?" They came all the way for 300,000 taels of silver and 20,000 taels of gold?

According to the lower officials, their real goal is to kidnap King Yi and support his restoration, so as to provoke civil strife in the Ming Dynasty and even oust the emperor from the throne.

Besides, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other provinces were severely affected. We have so much gold and silver, how many people can be saved by exchanging it for food.

Now they are all given to the Japanese Kou, is it worthy of the people of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Wang Ji was speechless when asked, the key was that Wang Ji didn't understand Yan Li's true position, how he wanted to deal with this incident.

In all fairness, Wang Ji was really afraid that Yan Li would take the opportunity to kill King Yi.
