Chapter 196: Precursor to Murder
Qi Tai took a step forward and asked eagerly: "Where is the headquarters of this Tianxia Society? Is it in the territory of the Wa Kingdom? Is it possible to find all the cuckoo birds lurking in the territory of my Daming if you find this organization?"
Jiang Huan raised his head to look at the sky, as if he was thinking about something, and shook his head and said: "The members of the Tianxia Society are all over the world, and they help many ambitious countries to plan conspiracies, and once they succeed, they will share huge dividends from it, and the organization is huge and there are many people. The exact leader or location is also unknown, or the location may change at any time. The relationship between the Tianxia Society and the Wa State is only a mutual use, or it can be said that the Wa State has hired the Tianxia Society to do things for it. ”
"I have told you everything I know, and it is up to you to fulfill your promise and inform my son to leave Beijing overnight. Jiang Huan said, and here he actually showed a begging expression to Qi Tai. Qi Tai didn't know how many innocent people begged Jiang Huan to let them go, but in the end they were poisoned by Jiang Huan. Qi Tai wanted to overturn the agreement and execute Jiang Yulin in front of Jiang Huan, but he just thought about it, and quickly set his eyes on Zhu Yunwen, who nodded lightly.
Only then did Qi Tai say to Jiang Huan: "The things we promised you will not change, and tonight Shen Chaixing will inform Jiang Yulin to leave the city and greet the city gate." ”
After Jiang Huan heard this, his expression moved, and a strange red light flashed in his eyes. Shen Chaixing on the side saw it, his heart was not good, he hurriedly came to Jiang Huan, supported the crumbling Jiang Huan and asked, "You give me a specific clue about the World Society now, and I will inform Jiang Yulin!"
Qi Tai was also taken aback, and he didn't know why Jiang Huan was suddenly like this. Only Shen Chaixing knew the reason, and Jiang Huan ran the last remaining divine ray to his heart and committed suicide.
Jiang Huan's eyes widened, and he barely said a few words: "Seeking Immortal Island?????? Zhuxian Society?????? You?????? Why ??????" The voice became lower and lower, and finally his head was soft, and a generation of traitors died.
Searching for Immortal Island and Zhuxian Society are the only clues about the Tianxia Society, as for Jiang Huan's last question, "You?????? Why "no one knew what it meant, only Shen Chaixing guessed some, Jiang Huan wondered why Shen Chaixing was hit by the Reverse Scale Divine Mang but was safe and sound, or wondered why Shen Chaixing didn't ask him about the solution of the Shenmang.
In any case, Jiang Huan died, so Zhu Yunwen handed over everything to Qi Tai to deal with overnight, and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang tomorrow morning, and returned to the imperial city with Zhu Yunzhen, and the purpose of Zhu Yunwen bringing Zhu Yunzhen over couldn't be simpler, that is, to give him a witness, so as not to blame him when Zhu Yuanzhang got it. Before Zhu Yunzhen left, his eyes swept over Shen Chaixing, but Shen Chaixing pretended not to see it.
Qi Taiguo did not break his promise, arranged Jiang Yulin out of the city, and left him to fend for himself. As soon as Jiang Huan died, Jiang Yulin was already a dispensable role, not to mention the pursuit of the government, it would be good to be able to escape the pursuit of the enemy. Qi Tai was happy to let him fend for himself.
According to Jiang Huan's confession, Qi Tai and Shen Chaixing found the roster of the Jingshi Cuckoo Project hidden in the dark of the secret room, including officials, merchants, and craftsmen, a total of twenty-three people, among which the Jinyi Guard had the largest number of people, nine people, and even a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect. Qi Tai followed the map and led the soldiers to arrest the prisoners overnight to prevent leakage. After the preliminary trial overnight, the information obtained was summarized to Zhu Yunwen, who also couldn't sleep at night, and after explaining the situation, the two discussed countermeasures. After the early dynasty, the two came to Yangxin Pavilion to see Zhu Yuanzhang.
Capital. The Imperial Palace, the Pavilion of the Heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had finished the early dynasty, was crooked on top of the dragon collapse, his eyes half-open and half-closed, listening to the return of his chosen successor.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has hinted at his dissatisfaction with Jinyiwei and Jiang Huan many times, Zhu Yunwen is still uneasy about his pursuit of Jiang Huan. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang not only hinted that he was dissatisfied with Jinyiwei, but also encouraged Zhu Yunwen many times to take the initiative to deal with some family and country affairs, and while he was still alive, he had a good guide on how to deal with it.
Zhu Yunwen is not as good as Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao grew up in the war since he was a child, traveled from south to north, and handled many things independently, not only generous and benevolent, but also proficient in affairs, and is the best successor. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang attaches more importance to Zhu Yunwen's cultivation, although he has pulled out those thorns for him who rely on the old and sell the old, and at the same time reformed the framework and system of the imperial court, there are some things that must be done by Zhu Yunwen himself in order to have some experience. Lan Yue and Fu Youde must be done by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and Jiang Huan can be completely handed over to Zhu Yunwen to deal with, which can not only achieve the purpose of military training, but also win the hearts of the people because of this, after all, Jinyi Wei has killed so many people, who doesn't hate it? And Jiang Huan is the best scapegoat.
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang never expected was that this Jiang Huan was actually a spy from the Wa Kingdom, and his deep hiding, the number of personnel, and the thoroughness of the plan were enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to mention the spirit, don't patronize the inside but ignore the outside!
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and fell into contemplation, and suddenly felt that the heart pavilion was extremely quiet, and he opened his eyes suddenly, only to remember that Zhu Yunwen and Qi Tai had finished reporting, but they saw that their eyes were slightly closed, so they stood aside and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Well done!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. Zhu Yunwen was relieved.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Since the Wa Kingdom is eyeing me and has ill intentions, what is the proposal of the emperor and grandson?" Seeing Zhu Yunwen looking at Qi Tai, he said again: "Qi Qing can also speak freely, this is not above the court." Then he ordered the eunuch to give him a seat.
Qi Tai replied with Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty thinks that for the Wa Kingdom, I should have short-term actions and long-term preparations. ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became interested, so he continued to encourage: "Let's hear it." ”
"The minister thinks that he should send someone to find out this Tianxia Association in the short term, if he can exterminate it, it is the best, if he can't, he should also get the other roster of the Japanese Cuckoo Bird Plan from the hands of the Tianxia Society, the Japanese State has a total of thirteen secret lines in my Ming Dynasty, Jiang Huan is only the line of the Jingshi, and there are still twelve other dark lines, which is a great threat to my Ming Dynasty. The Tianxia Association will assist the Wa Kingdom in completing the implementation and operation of the Cuckoo Plan, so it should start with the Tianxia Association. ”
"Oh, what's the long-term plan?"
"The Wa Kingdom was originally composed of several large islands in the ocean, and our country has always called it Wa, and in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, because of the dislike of this title, it boasted that it was located in the east, close to the sun, so it was called Japan. Qi Tai told the story, and seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not show the slightest impatience, he continued to state.
"Because Japan is located on an island, there is no depth, there are no resources, and there are frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, so they often have a sense of distress and yearn for the safety and products of the mainland land. However, no matter in terms of the size of the country or the manpower and material resources, there is a huge difference between the two sides, so the Japanese country can only plant spies and spies in our palace from generation to generation for the future. ”
"And what are your so-called long-term plans?"
"Also actively prepare for the next day!" replied Qi Tai calmly.
"Since there will be a battle between the two sides, why not carry heavy troops and cross the sea now?" Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that his question was a bit far-fetched, but he still wanted to use it to test this Qi Tai.
Qi Tai thought to himself: "Almost all the generals who can fight well have died at the hands of your old man, who will lead the troops?
But he didn't dare to slack off, and replied respectfully: "There is a precedent for the East to fight against Japan, and there were two failed Eastern Crusades in the Yuan Dynasty. There are many reasons for this, such as the inconvenience of crossing the sea due to typhoons, and I think it is also due to the supply problem. When the two countries are at war, they must have fought for a long time, and at the beginning they could still bring enough grain and grass from the country, but later they could only use war to feed the war and use local materials. ”
"And the problem is precisely here, in this way, the disadvantage of the Japanese state has become an advantage, and my Ming army, unless it can be quickly resolved in the short term, will have problems in the long run. What's more, even if we win the war, what do we want to gain by occupying that island country that is not rich in natural resources?"
"So we can only wait? When they land across the sea, we will fight back?" Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously also intrigued by the topic of Qi Tai.
"Forgive the minister, we have to wait, but the other side will definitely not directly land and fight across the sea, because then unless we can win quickly, we will kill ourselves. The other side will wait until there is civil unrest in our country to support one of the rebel forces, and then operate it as its base camp on the mainland for a long time, and then wait until it is fully prepared, and then the other side will launch a full-scale attack. For the Wa country, it is best to be able to swallow elephants, and if not, you can also gain a firm foothold on our continent and obtain a lot of resources in order to come to the future. ”
"The best way for us to deal with them is to build ships, strengthen the naval division, annihilate their main forces at sea when they land and cross the sea, and fight on the island where North Korea is used as a springboard island, thinking that the main battlefield, because the elite of the opposing naval division is annihilated by us at sea, so I can land from different places at the same time. If the naval division loses, it can only use the strength of the whole country to surround and destroy the main force of its base camp, and then land with the naval division. ”
"All of this is based on intelligence, and now the other party has planted all the networks in my Daming, and we have no intelligence sources on the other side, so in order to break this passive situation, we should first eliminate the other party's spy network in my Daming, so that the other party can't figure out our situation and dare not act rashly. And all of this has to fall on the clue of the World Association. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly after hearing this, Qi Tai's analysis of the future of the two countries is still reasonable, when it comes to using war to feed war, the current endangerment of the coastal Japanese is actually because they can use war to support war, so there are more and more, how can this not be the mastermind behind the scenes of the Japanese state or deliberately connived? I take this opportunity to test our Ming reaction and military strength, once the whole country can't take a few Japanese invaders, the other side will strengthen its determination to take over our world.
"So, what are your candidates for this world meeting?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.
"I'm in the Ming, the world will be in the dark, once we send the court master to deal with this matter, the other party will immediately notice, so this candidate can't be someone from my Ming court, or someone who is very close to the court. This person must not only be strong in martial arts and witty, but also have nothing to do with the imperial court, and it is best to have some ?????? with the imperial court It's a holiday!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said strangely: "Is there such a person? Can it still be used by me? You can report your name quickly!" Zhu Yuanzhang was aroused by Qi Tai's curiosity that he hadn't had for a long time.
"Please forgive the minister for his innocence first, and the minister will dare to recommend it boldly!"
"Ha, you will sell the guanzi when you arrive, so I will forgive you for your innocence, say it quickly!"
"Shen Yong, Shen Chasing!"
"Which Shen Chasing Star? Is it the same Shen Chasing Star who made trouble with Lan Yue?" Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes when he heard this, and asked slowly, word by word.
Zhu Yunwen was horrified when he saw the emperor like this, this was a precursor that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to kill someone.
