The name Qi Jiguang, whether in his previous life or present life, Wang Zhong is familiar with it, and even thunderbolt.

This famous anti-Japanese general, who fought more than 100 battles in his life, did not lose a single defeat, and rescued countless coastal people, is a great historical celebrity, and the idol of many people.

Seeing the idol, Wang Zhong didn't show too much intensity, and after exchanging names with each other, Qi Jiguang did not express too much enthusiasm for the Shaolin and Songshan faction disciples.

According to the current concept, Wang Zhong, Zhitong Monk and Lin Pingzhi are all reckless, and Qi Jiguang is regarded as a generation of eunuchs, with completely different classes, Qi Jiguang did not show disdain, but calmly told Wang Zhong and others the origin of this group of widows.

These Japanese were originally born as samurai, but later the country was defeated, and they became rogues, with nowhere to live, so they could only venture east across the ocean and come to the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty.

The Wa Ronin did not have much means of making a living, and after starvation, they could only burn and loot to plague the people of the Ming Dynasty and become the Wako who plagued the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang was ordered to suppress the bandits, and the group of robbers he fought could not find the north, so he fled all the way from Zhejiang to Fujian, hid in the deep mountains and old forests, robbed and killed those who had nothing to eat, and many villages along the road were victimized.

This group of Japanese robbers can't fight, but escaping is first-class, Qi Jiguang chased all the way, and even pursued across provinces, always one step slower, plus the number of Japanese robbers is not large, and it is reduced to zero, which makes Qi Jiguang very passive, if it weren't for Wang Zhong and the three of them passing by today, there would not even be a single survivor in the village.

Wang Zhong also told Qi Jiguang about his difficulties, but he didn't expect him to agree to deal with these survivors.

"Handed over to General Ben, the imperial court has already made arrangements, and these poor women will be properly placed. Qi Jiguang patted his chest and promised that he would definitely settle the tortured women, and Wang Zhong settled down.

"General Qi, don't you have to chase those Japanese robbers anymore?" Wang Zhong also found that Qi Jiguang had the intention of returning to Zhejiang, and asked suspiciously.

"I am the capital guard of Zhejiang, and I can't stay in Fujian for a long time, and the Japanese here can only be dealt with by the Fujian governor. Qi Jiguang shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"In fact, there are not many of these Japanese pirates, and their combat power is limited, but their mobility is too strong, as soon as our imperial army arrives, they will hide in the mountains and occupy the terrain advantage, our army can not set fire to the mountains, and can only withdraw when the grain and grass are exhausted, but as soon as our army leaves, the Japanese will come out and sweep the villages, which is very hateful. ”

Qi Jiguang gritted his teeth at the mention of the Japanese Invaders, he had seen too many tragic images of their families being destroyed and killed by the Wolves over the years, and the small village here was just an insignificant one.

"Is there nothing the court can do with these widows?" Lin Pingzhi is a young man, and when he saw the widows behaving like this, he was already filled with righteous indignation.

"The imperial court is preparing to block the coastline and recruit militia nearby to resist the Japanese invaders, but the militia are all from the common people and cannot deal with the Japanese criminals, so the results are limited, and the court is ......" Qi Jiguang stopped without finishing his sentence, and he stopped talking again.

Wang Zhong knew what Qi Jiguang was going to say, at this time it was the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, this emperor was extremely smart, but unfortunately there was one biggest problem, that is, he was lazy, he did not go to court for decades, and the power in his hands gradually fell into the hands of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Yan Song is a well-known corrupt official, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, when it comes to corrupt officials, he may be compared with Shen Neng in later generations.

This corrupt official is in power, the country will naturally not fall well, the food and salary sent by the imperial court to the various armies are deducted, and the soldiers have no money, how can they fight with their hearts.

In addition to being greedy, Yan Song also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, "mixing", the life principle of this corrupt official is "messing around", the corpse is vegetarian, he just wants to maintain the existing wealth, and the people don't care about life or death.

The rebellion of the Japanese invaders seemed hateful, but at the beginning, after all, there were not many people, and they could not be a major threat to the entire Ming Dynasty, so Yan Song let it go, which caused a big trouble, and gradually evolved into a great chaos along the coast of the four provinces.

Later, the rebellion gradually became serious, and the first minister of the cabinet even wanted to whitewash the peace and bribe those big robbers to let them return to Dongying, isn't it ridiculous?

Those would-be robbers tasted the sweetness of burning, killing and looting, how could they give up easily, they took the money sent by Yan Song, but the robbery did not stop for a moment.

Qi Jiguang, as a front-line general, naturally knows that the darkness of the court is the reason why the resistance to the court has been fruitless, but he is a five-grade general, how can he affect the major affairs of the court, he can only sigh in vain.

"General Qi, these widows are actually not high in combat power, they are just wandering in the mountains and wilderness, so the army is difficult to exterminate, if I send a fist from the Jianghu sect to help you go into the mountains to exterminate the rogues, I don't know if it is possible!" Wang Zhong asked tentatively.

"The righteous man is serious!" Qi Jiguang heard Wang Zhong's words, his eyes lit up, and he was immediately overjoyed.

No one understands the dangers and advantages of the pirates better than Qi Jiguang, this group of rogues, who are not good at fighting but ruthless, and are too cautious in the face of the army, which makes the imperial court soldiers and horses suffer frustration every time.

But the advantage of the Japanese is nothing in the eyes of the Jianghu people. Naturally, the martial arts of the Japanese are not as good as the disciples of the Jianghu faction, and even if they escape into the mountains, they can't escape the search of light skills.

The people of Jianghu don't need to kill the Japanese at all, they just need to drive these rats out of the mountains and cooperate with the army to exterminate them.

Originally, Qi Jiguang didn't think about relying on the rivers and lakes to restrain the widows, but his superiors didn't look down on these mud legs in the rivers and lakes, and few people in the rivers and lakes liked the government, so it was difficult for the two to cooperate.

After telling Wang Zhong about the difficulties, Wang Zhong pondered for a moment before replying: "My Songshan faction can send disciples to assist the general in fighting against the Japanese, and then naturally listen to the general's arrangement, as for the identity issue, as long as the general gives a personal guard." ”

Qi Jiguang's personal guard, it seems to be good, and he is only a small soldier, and at this time of war, he also has the right to recruit any personal soldiers, and the official has no right to ask.

"But I have to go back to the mountain to discuss this matter with the master, and I can reply to the general in seven days at most, but I don't know if the general can be trusted. Wang Zhong stared at Qi Jiguang's eyes, wanting to know the answer.

"Righteous people help each other regardless of danger, how can I, Qi Jiguang, doubt Your Excellency. Qi Jiguang said brightly: "Qi is waiting for good news in Zhejiang. ”

"Worthy of a generation of famous generals. Wang Zhong sighed in his heart, and then the two sides discussed amicably for an hour before parting.

Qi Jiguang returned to Zhejiang with the survivors in the village to garrison, and Wang Zhong rushed to Putian Shaolin with Lin Pingzhi, he wanted to solve the Shaolin matter as soon as possible, and then returned to Songshan to discuss the specific matters of the anti-Japanese war with Zuo Lengchan.

Monk Zhitong has always been a cold watcher, and has never joined Wang Zhong and Qi Jiguang, but he looked at Wang Zhong with completely different eyes at this time.

"Does the donor really have the heart to help the imperial court fight against the Japanese?" Monk Zhitong finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"The country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible, although I am reckless for the rivers and lakes, I will definitely not see foreigners bullying my Chinese children. ”

What Wang Zhong said was sincere, and it was naturally infectious, at least Lin Pingzhi's eyes were full of worship for his master now.

However, the monk Zhitong didn't say anything, and whispered the Buddha name and left, but this time the three of them had significantly accelerated their footsteps, and they rushed to Putian Shaolin in less than a day.
