Originally, after Zhang Juzheng died of illness, Shenzong Zhu Yijun absurdly governed the country and neglected the government, and the eunuch Jiang Jingzhong took the opportunity to cause chaos in the government decree, which had already caused Qi Jiguang to be very angry, but after all, he was only a military attache with troops, and it was not his turn to take care of these government affairs.

Even if Jiang Jingzhong later suspected that Qi Jiguang's defense of northern Xinjiang was too close to Shuntianfu, so he found an excuse to transfer him to the governor of Guangdong, Qi Jiguang also endured it himself, after all, he personally sat in charge of the military affairs of northern Xinjiang for many years, and he was confident that if he left now, there would not be too much chaos in northern Xinjiang in a short time.

However, the situation of the southeast coast has become more and more intense in recent years, and compared with the seemingly stable northern Xinjiang, the southeast coast obviously needs a general like Qi Jiguang more.

After the death of the former first assistant Zhang Juzheng, some of Zhang Juzheng's political enemies couldn't wait to jump out of the attack, and the eunuchs led by Jiang Jingzhong were the largest of them, Qi Jiguang had heard of these things, and even went to the court many times to ask for Zhang Juzheng's life, but Jiang Jingzhong, the eunuch of the Si Lizhang seal, later sent people to hunt down Zhang Juzheng's last bloodline, Zhang Jingxiu, but it completely angered Qi Jiguang, the general of the Ming Dynasty.

And those Gu Youdao and others, who were called rebellious by Jiang Jingzhong, knew after Qi Jiguang's meticulous investigation that these people were just some people with lofty ideals who dared to stand up against the eunuchs.

So in the end, Guangdong Governor Qi Jiguang did not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of Jiang Jingzhong, even though Jiang Jingzhong was willing to take the risk to personally come to Guangdong to inspect and arrest Zhang Jingxiu, Gu Youdao and others, but with his Qi Jiajun beside him 'close assistance', Qi Jiguang was fully sure that Jiang Jingzhong and these eunuchs would not find anything in Guangdong, and even if the time was right, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang would not mind creating some ingenious accidents for the governor of the East Factory.

And if Jiang Jingzhong dared to mobilize the Dongchang army gathered in Zhangzhou to invade Guangdong, he would use his fists to teach the other party a bloody lesson.

Jiang Jingzhong didn't wait to finish reading Qi Jiguang's reply, he slowly crumpled the letter with his hand with a blue face, and when Jiang Jingzhong's hand opened again, the original letter paper was only a pile of tiny pieces that could not be in the fine pieces.

Jiang Jingzhong's eyes flashed with an extremely dangerous light from time to time, his thin eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if there was something difficult to choose in his heart, and after a long time, he leaned back on the luxurious seat as if he had lost his strength.

He can't move Qi Jiguang now, and no matter whether he has the two forces of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, can he defeat the hundreds of thousands of Qi family soldiers under Qi Jiguang's command on the battlefield, that is, his forces can rival the strength of Qi Jiguang's men, or he is sure enough to assassinate Qi Jiguang quietly, and he Jiang Jingzhong will not do it, let alone do it, and even said that if Qi Jiguang really encounters any huge danger now, he Jiang Jingzhong will have to use the power in his hands to protect Qi Jiguang against his will.

After all, the root of Jiang Jingzhong's monstrous power now comes from the current imperial court and Shenzong Zhu Yijun, and Guangdong Governor Qi Jiguang can be said to be a thigh of the imperial court at this time.

Jiang Jingzhong went from a little eunuch who followed Feng Bao's side, but he reached the peak of the power of his ministers in more than ten years, naturally he will not be a stupid person, on the contrary, Jiang Jingzhong is not only excellent in martial arts, but also extremely smart, so in the current situation, he will never easily make the most stupid decision to eradicate Qi Jiguang unless he has to.

But this does not mean that he will give up the hard bone of Guangdong Admiral Qi Jiguang, and give up and will eat a large piece of 'fat' in his mouth.

After closing his eyes and thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Jingzhong seemed to have finally made a decision, and said: "Come on, go and call Li Yonghua, Sang Jian, Mo Yuan, and Feng Shaoting." ”

It didn't take long for the white-haired Li Yonghua, the wandering soul Sang Jian, the shadowless stick Feng Shaoting, and the knife lock man Mo Yuan, the four people with the highest martial arts under Jiang Jingzhong, gathered in Jiang Jingzhong's camp.

"Subordinate Li Yonghua see Chitose Adult, Chitose Adult, Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

"Subordinate Sang Jian knocked to see Chitose Lord, Chitose Adult, Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

"Subordinate Feng Shaoting meets Chitose-sama, Chitose-sama ......"

"Subordinates are far away......"

After the four of them entered the tent and saluted, Jiang Jingzhong ordered the four of them to stand up.

Shadowless Stick Feng Shaoting was the first to ask, "I don't know what the Chitose Lord has to call us and others. ”

Jiang Jingzhong rubbed his eyebrows and said lightly: "Shaoting, Mo Yuan, this seat orders you two to each take fifty factory guard masters, bypass the position of the Qi family army in front, and sneak into Guangdong to investigate Gu Youdao's rebellion, as well as the whereabouts of the imperial court's invasion of Zhang Jingxiu. ”

"In addition, if you two collect evidence of the rebellious correspondence between Qi Jiguang and Gu Youdao, the governor of Guangdong, then you will come back to see me as soon as you have a harvest. ”

Feng Shaoting and Mo Yuan said in unison: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

After speaking, the two of them both withdrew from Jiang Jingzhong's camp and went to each select their own masters.

After arranging Feng Shaoting and Mo Yuan, Jiang Jingzhong opened his mouth and commanded again: "Sang Jian, you lead the ghost troops under your command to rush back to Fuzhou, take the token of this seat to find Wang Siyi, the beggar head of the beggar gang, and ask him to immediately transfer all the officials and beggars gathered in the Jiangnan area to Guangdong, and tell Wang Siyi that if he can cooperate with Feng Shaoting, Mo Yuan and the two of them, exterminate Gu Youdao, these beggars and rebels, this seat will support him to ascend to the position of the head of the beggar gang in the world, after finding Wang Siyi, you and the shadow will mix among these officials and beggars to supervise the formation, if Wang Siyi has any misconduct, he will be killed on the spot. After speaking, he took out a small golden token from his arms, and the token was engraved with an eastern character in the center.

Sang Jian respectfully took the token and said, "My subordinates receive orders." With that, he withdrew from the camp and went to gather the shadows under his command.

At this time, Jiang Jingzhong turned his head to Li Yonghua and said: "Yonghua, before Feng Shaoting and Mo Yuan lead the team to leave, you lead two thousand factory guards to press the position of the Qi family army in front to attract the attention of the Qi family army, but remember to restrain the army and don't really have any conflicts with the Qi family army." ”

"Wait until they cover Feng Shaoting and Mo Yuan and they leave, then slowly retreat, and then send people to the front of the Qi family army every half day to put pressure on the battle, so that Qi Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, can hear the movements here every day.

Li Yonghua said respectfully: "My subordinates understand. ”

After Li Yonghua left, Jiang Jingzhong got up and walked outside the tent, looked at the distance towards the south, and muttered: "Qi Jiguang, although this seat can't move you now, and I don't want to move you, but if you really don't know what to do, this seat doesn't mind giving you a few small lessons......"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

With the joining of Xiao Yao and Ghost Sangu, Jin Yuliang's trip to Zhangzhou suddenly had a lot more certainty, and he originally intended to leave his apprentice fake Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, because if he had three long and two short in Zhangzhou, then the huge good door would need to rely on Zhang Yide to support it in the future.

But he really knows the character of his apprentice well, even if he quietly leaves Zhang Yide, Zhang Yide will try his best to rush to Zhangzhou Mansion by himself.

Just like that day, Jin Yuliang learned that his righteous daughter Jin Hanya was in trouble, and left Zhang Yide in Fuzhou to assist Gu Youdao to leave by himself, and sure enough, he didn't go long, and Zhang Yide also left Fuzhou to catch up quietly.

If it weren't for the eyes of the sky, Zhang Yide, who was rushing to the rescue, happened to meet Jin Yuliang, who escaped from the Dongchang marching camp, and the consequences would be really unimaginable.

From this point of view, it is safer and safer to take Zhang Yide with him to Zhangzhou than to leave him behind.

The four of them got back on the road, the ghost and the third aunt were still sitting in the carriage, and Xiao Yao was still a groom in disguise to drive the car, and Zhang Yide and Jin Yuliang, who had just recovered from serious injuries, dressed as two guards.

Compared with Xiao Yao and Shi Bo and Gu Sangu before, although Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide have been added to the team now, the number has become more, but they have received less attention along the way.

After all, the current government is full of bandits, and if the people who walk are not swordsmen, then they must be surrounded by guards, but those who go on the road alone and seem harmless to humans and animals are more eye-catching in the current era.

Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide's master and apprentice are worthy of being perennial wandering old rivers and lakes, not to mention the impeccable arrangement of food, clothing, housing and transportation arrangements for the four of them along the way, and the speed of travel is much faster than that of Xiao Yao and the three aunts of the uncle.

Under the leadership of Jin Yuliang's master and apprentice, it took less than three days for several people to come from Raozhou Mansion to Zhangzhou Mansion, the southernmost part of Fujian.

When he was in a hurry, Xiao Yao also discussed with Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide how to rescue Jin Hanya after arriving in Zhangzhou Mansion.

But if it is really as Jin Yuliang said, there are not only thousands of factory guards in the army of Jiang Jingzhong, the director of the East Factory, but also the four masters under Jiang Jingzhong.

Close to Xiao Yao, Jin Yuliang, and Zhang Yide, the certainty of trying to break into the Dongchang camp and rescue Jin Hanya from it is almost zero, even if the three of them are like Jin Yuliang for the first time, and attack the Dongchang camp at night, the chance of success cannot be increased much.

Even if Dongchang was on guard, their fate would probably not be much different from Jin Yuliang that day.

Now, it seems that the only hope is that the other party does not know that Jin Yuliang is still alive, and the defense of Jin Hanya can be relaxed, so he is still a little sure.

The remaining way is to use the medical skills of the ghost and the three aunts in the dilemma of life and death, whether it is poisoning or releasing smoke, to weaken the strength of the Dongchang army as much as possible, and even to say that if Jiang Jingzhong can be ordered a superb poison like the Xuanyuan Five Poisons, he can use the antidote to coerce Jiang Jingzhong to release Jin Hanya.

But everyone knows that if you want to poison Jiang Jingzhong, who is under the strict protection of the army, it is not easier than directly breaking into the rescue of Jin Hanya, after all, if Jiang Jingzhong is really so easy to fall for it, it is impossible to get away with it until now.

As for the method of poisoning the Dongchang army, Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide naturally strongly agreed, but Xiao Yao knew and did not mention how much it would take to spread the poison that could spread to thousands of people, and how to make the people of Dongchang obediently obey, just if the third aunt knew about this plan, she would never agree to it.

The reputation of the ghost third aunt in the dilemma of life and death is not very good in the rivers and lakes, and even some people who were rejected by the ghost third aunt deliberately exaggerated the evil nature and viciousness of the ghost third aunt, but Xiao Yao knew that his master was far from being as ruthless as the rumors in the rivers and lakes, but under the cold appearance, he had an extremely clear heart.

Sure enough, when Xiao Yao was discussing with the ghost third aunt, the ghost third aunt was willing to help everyone resolve the poison, and could even help refine something like a dream, but it was impossible for her to poison thousands of living beings.

After discussing for several days, there was still no much progress, even the God of Wealth Jin Yuliang was inevitably a little anxious, and finally decided to wait for Zhangzhou, first try to find a way to spy on the reality of the Dongchang army before making plans, otherwise it will only smooth out his own sharpness first.

When the four of them arrived at Zhangzhou Mansion, they learned that the Dongchang army led by Jiang Jingzhong was not stationed in the city, but confronted the Qi family army under the command of Guangdong Governor Qi Jiguang in the south of Zhangzhou Mansion near Guangdong.

After learning the news, Jin Yuliang was really mixed.

Happily, Jiang Jingzhong actually faced off with Qi Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, you must know that although there are many people who hate Jiang Jingzhong today, there are really not many people who are really capable of confronting Jiang Jingzhong, the director of the East Factory, and even fewer of the few people who can contend with Jiang Jingzhong are willing to completely break with Jiang Jingzhong.

And the Guangdong Governor Qi Jiguang in front of him happens to be one, this General Qi's military exploits are impressive, and the 200,000 Qi family troops under his command can fight well and have strict military discipline, and they have not been defeated on the battlefield for so many years.

And the person who General Qi Jiguang respected most in his life was the former prime minister Zhang Juzheng, who had just died of illness.

According to Jin Yuliang's knowledge, this Zhang Jingxiu Zhang Gongzi was rescued by Xiao Yao from Kaiyuan Temple, and then followed Gu Youdao and others to hide in the Daiyun Mountains for a while, and now he has entered Guangdong south.

With Qi Jiguang's ability and control of Guangdong, Gu Youdao led so many people to flee to Guangzhou, and it was impossible to completely avoid Qi Jiguang's sight, and even Gu Youdao had to take the initiative to contact Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiajun.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Jiguang must have learned about Zhang Jingxiu, and it is precisely because of this that he will line up in the north of Guangdong and block the Dongchang army led by Jiang Jingzhong outside Guangdong.

With such a formation, even with the talents of Qi Jiguang and Jiang Jingzhong, they must be very careful to control it, otherwise if they are not careful, it will be a big trouble for the entire Ming Dynasty to be turbulent.

This kind of thing is something that neither Qi Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, nor Jiang Jingzhong, the eunuch of the East Factory, wants to see.

But in this way, it is a great opportunity for Jin Yuliang and the other four, and Jiang Jingzhong will definitely devote huge energy to deal with the Qi family army in the south.

However, the worry is that the Dongchang army is not stationed in Zhangzhou Mansion, so when Xiao Yao and the others move, it will be difficult to rescue Zhang Jingxiu in Kaiyuan Temple, with complex terrain and jagged houses to cover their figures.

Even not stationed in the state capital means that Jiang Jingzhong himself is very likely to be in the military camp, and the four masters under his command will probably stay there inch by inch, with these people, it is really not easy to rescue Jin Hanya.

The four of them found a clean inn in the south of Zhangzhou City, and settled the three aunts in the guest room first, and Xiao Yao couldn't rest assured that his uncle stayed in the inn to guard.

Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide's master and apprentice rushed out of Zhangzhou City non-stop to the left of the place where the Dongchang army was encamped, and when night fell, they both changed into night clothes and lurked outside the Dongchang camp, paying close attention to the situation of the entire Dongchang camp.

Just Xiao Yao and the ghost third aunt waited anxiously for two days in Fuzhou City.

Xiao Yao even thought that Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide, the master and apprentice, couldn't hold back and made a rash move, Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide finally returned to this inn exhausted.

After resting for a few hours, the pair of masters and apprentices came to Xiao Yao's room.

In the past two days, Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide kept spying on the layout of the Dongchang camp from all directions, and they didn't even have time to rest for a moment.

After two days of observation, Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide not only figured out the layout of the entire Dongchang camp, but even had a little grasp of the number of soldiers and horses in the entire camp.

Zhang Yide even used his extraordinary talent to draw the layout of the entire Dongchang camp on a large sheepskin.

It can be clearly seen from the picture that the entire camp of the East Factory presents the appearance of a plum blossom, and the camp tent of more than 5,000 soldiers is divided into five areas, with the appearance of plum blossom petals, guarding the big tent of Jiang Jingzhong, the director of the East Factory, and Ban Hansheng, the prince of the class.

This way of camping and arranging the formation is obviously extremely strong in the center of the large camp, but the defense in a single direction is much weaker, and it is not conducive to retreat when the war is decadent.

Obviously, deep in the heart of Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of Dongchang, he didn't think that Qi Jiguang was like this, and the loyal and patriotic general would easily start a war with the Dongchang army led by him.

However, Jiang Jingzhong was not completely unprepared, and the number of the three groups of military camps in the plum blossom array near the direction of the Qijia army was obviously more than the two groups of military camps near the direction of Zhangzhou.

According to Jin Yuliang's observations, the number of soldiers accommodated in the three groups of tents was more than 4,000, and the remaining two groups combined were only more than 1,000.

As for Jin Hanya, it is clear that she was not handed over to the imperial court or thrown to the local government by Jiang Jingzhong, but continued to be imprisoned in the barracks.

Thankfully, the tent where Jin Hanya was being held was in the center of one of the five groups of barracks, but this group was one of two groups close to Zhangzhou's capital.
