Chapter 3 Inference
[No pop-ups.]
Although Chu Yuan, Hu Feng, and He Xi do not often walk around the rivers and lakes, they also know a little about the fact that Dongchang is divided into two major systems, Red Dragon and Ghost Mist, Hearing Yun Bian Qing say this, Isn't it that he is identifying Fang Zhunuo as a person of Ghost Mist His face became solemn for a while
Himenopaira smiled suddenly, raised his voice and said, "Old Yun, this is not the time to joke, you have to have evidence when you speak."
Yun Bian Qing squinted at Fang Zhennuo: "The people of the East Factory are treacherous and treacherous, how can they leave a handle when doing things?"
Ji Yeping stood up angrily: "He is Li Lao's apprentice You said that he is from Dongchang Aren't you scolding Li Lao for being blind I invited him to be a military advisor I also got the approval of Yan Lao I am blind Yan Lao is also blind " said that the palm of his hand slapped heavily on the side, and the copper plate on the small number of pieces fell to the ground There was a piercing sound, and the blood-stained shrapnel was scattered and clanged
"Pavilion Master" Zhu Qing said: "Pavilion Master, there are some things that we should analyze calmly and don't blindly appeal to feelings In fact, as he said, although Li Lao, Yan Lao and You Lao are like brothers, we really don't have much contact with Fang Junshi And the military master is young, as far as I know, he hasn't been with Li Lao for a long time."
Himenopaira looked at him: "Why don't you even suspect it?"
Zhu Qing said: "I'm not skeptical, but I said that although Yun Bianqing's words are unfounded, there is also a certain amount of truth before the matter is clarified, everyone should stay calm."
Himenopira's chest turned over the smoke and poured fire, and he didn't know how to relieve Fang Zhennuo Look at himself standing there with a calm expression and no indistinguishable intention It seems that there is a taste of "Xiucai meets a soldier and is wronged" I feel even more reluctant I sat back on the chair with a butt and turned my face to the ground and said: "Anyway, I believe in Xiaofang, you can think whatever you like."
There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was oppressive
After a certain set, Hu Feng bowed down and continued to treat Himenopira's wounds
Everyone looked at each other quietly for a while, Jiang Wan said gently: "Before we find evidence, everyone is innocent Let's be suspicious of each other like this It is to make the relatives painful and the enemies happy Brother Yun, here is Mr. Zhu Here and I and the three senior brothers are here Everyone can ensure the safety of the pavilion master The official army may organize an attack on the island at any time in the periphery You work hard Take a walk around the mountains before and after See if there is any missing need Dispatch it in time to plan for everything How "
In the pavilion, the status of the three monarchs has always been above the four emperors Although Jiang Wan's words were a consultative tone, it was also an order Yun Bian Qing looked up and saw that Ji Yeping did not look at himself and lowered his head and said: "Pavilion master be careful" glanced at Fang Zhennuo again, turned around and left the hall
The sound of the steps faded Ji Yeping sighed and said: "This old cloud is full of blind speculation I don't know what's wrong But Xiao Fang, you know that he practices big guns, and I also practice big guns I used to fight together in the past Closer than others in terms of relationship He is also for my good Don't you hate him " At this time, Hu Feng finished bandaging He thanked him and put on his clothes
Fang Zhennuo shook his head: "Pavilion Master, you are far away, how can I hate him, on the contrary, I am very happy."
Himenohaira said, "Brother, you're not talking back, are you?"
Fang Zhennuo smiled, he raised his hand, paced a few steps lightly, and looked at the light of the torches shaking outside the hall door: "The three kings and four emperors, and the eight great men and heroines have all shed blood and contributed to the development and growth of Juhao Pavilion, and I came to the top later, and what I did was very abnormal, and I was questioned and criticized It is also reasonable that Yunbian Qingneng doubted me It shows that he has no problem."
Himeno's eyebrows stretched for it, and suddenly his whole face sank again: "I've always heard that ghost fog, ghost fog, mysterious and secret, it seems to be an undercover agent, so let's ...... in the pavilion."
Fang Zhennuo raised his hand: "Pavilion Master, if you also have such thoughts, you are right in the enemy's plan."
Himenodaira was stunned
Fang Zhennuo said: "At the end of last year, the Taishan faction Ying Hongying's mother and son stirred up the Jingshi and united the three factions to withdraw from the alliance, and the Hundred Swords Alliance suddenly changed internally, and the Qin family took over Although it is difficult for outsiders to understand the details, they can also see some clues Maybe it was the Dongchang that installed someone to plan to lead the two families to fight Or it may be that the Qin family provoked the three factions to rebel and successfully annexed the Hundred Swords Alliance These are not important The important thing is that the provoking contradictions must be inseparable from the response of the inner ghost Let's gather the Hao Pavilion family The great cause is mixed with personnel It is difficult to ensure that there are no people from the Dongchang or Qin families Therefore, it has been more than half a year since he took over as a military advisor I've been secretly keeping an eye on it."
Ji Yeping was quite surprised, and looked to the side, Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan exchanged glances, and they didn't seem to know anything about it
Fang Zhennuo said: "The more I visit, the more I admire a person."
Himenodaira asked, "Who?"
Fang Zhennuo smiled: "Do you need to say it, naturally it is the one you always talk about."
"Big Brother Eldest Sun" Himeno Ping was even more strange
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the results of the military adviser's visit are quite optimistic."
Fang Zhennuo nodded: "When the Hundred Swords Alliance had an accident, it was rumored that it was the Luo brothers The reason for Ma Mingshao's unprovoked death at the beginning of the year The Qin family has also carried out some cleaning and adjustment in personnel The truth is confusing, but no matter what, it shows that there are hidden dangers within these two forces, and they are all high-level people with considerable status In comparison, there are many gangs in our cabinet, and the personnel situation is more complicated, but among the backbones above the middle level, there is no one worthy of suspicion."
Himenopaira said with straight eyes: "Big brother has always known people and is good at everything, and he is aware of everything, so all this is a matter of course......"
Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan's expressions darkened, and their heads slowly lowered
Eldest Sun Xiaochi is indeed the undisputed leader, but after he has formed such a stable and powerful team, he chose to leave Compared to the problems of the Hundred Swords Alliance and the Qin family in terms of personnel, this is undoubtedly a greater irony
Fang Zhennuo said: "My energy is limited, and half a year is not enough time to investigate in detail, and there may be spies on our island at this moment, so everyone still can't take it lightly."
In the action of slowly nodding his head, Himenopira's neck suddenly raised his face: "You didn't send someone to answer just now, in addition to worrying about the disparity between the enemy and me, but also for fear that there would be chaos on the island" He saw Fang Zhennuo smiled slightly, and he guessed it right, patted his thigh and said: "Ha, good brother, you still think about it Well, the waterway is blocked, there are officers and soldiers on the lake, and if the island is chaotic, you won't even be able to come back home."
Chu Yuan suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Who?"
With a sound, Hu Feng and He Xi flew up outside the door and broke through the west window
The sound of the wind hanging in the clothes of Polala, there was a figure outside the west window, and he couldn't help but dodge and said loudly: "Don't do it, it's me."
Himenopaira picked up the red gun and was about to rush out, only to see the wind at the door, the man not only did not escape, but got into the hall, and when he looked at it, he was stunned: "Old Yun, why are you back?"
Yunbian Qingdao: "It's not that I'm coming back, I didn't leave at all."
Himenopaira immediately understood: he was worried about his own safety, so he pretended to leave, and quietly came back to listen, poked the gun on the ground, and said with a smile: "Hey, you're too careful, I'm still wondering, how to say the spy, the spy is here."
Yun Bianqing took two steps forward and arched his hand: "The military division has been so far, it is useless to miss and sigh The official army has closed the lake and surrounded the island, and may attack again at any time, I don't know what good strategy the military division has to break the enemy."
Chu Yuan and the two junior disciples walked back from outside the door When they heard this, they knew that he had been relieved of his previous suspicions, and Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan made eye contact, and they all showed warm smiles
After Fang Zhennuo smiled in a friendly manner, his expression became solemn: "Brother Yun asked well, I am also worried about this, this official action is very strange Dongchang led his troops to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang After the intention was exposed, he fought extremely resolutely Yu Dayou's reinforcements arrived and rendezvous with the people on the hill and Lu Huangqiao It is inevitable that they can learn from the mouth of these two people that they can organize an attack again with their forces As a result, they quietly withdrew This move is unusual."
Himeno Ping said: "What's this, Yu Dayou, this person has led the army for many years, and he is an old qualification, and he has always been independent and arbitrary, and he has never liked to have too much supervision of the army, and Dongchang is also affectionate on the surface, and secretly separated from each other, this time, Zeng Shiquan has suffered a loss, and he is probably happy to watch it and laugh."
Jiang Wan shook his head: "Yu Dayou is upright and will not affect national affairs because of his personal likes and dislikes On the other hand, Zeng Shiquan is very likely to be unwilling to let others take the credit when he loses the battle, so he finds an excuse to withdraw the troops "Zhu Qing said: "Yes, victory and defeat are common in the East Factory has always been flying and domineering, although Zeng Shiquan's defeat is humiliating, but it will not fall into the handle If Yu Dayou reverses the tide of the battle, his incompetent reputation can be deducted."
After saying this, there was silence in the hall, and several people seemed to see the same idea in each other's eyes, that is: in the case of Dongchang and Yu Dayou's separation, how to make good use of this may be the key to breaking through the blockade and opening up the situation
Seeing that everyone was silent, Himeno Ping couldn't hold back a little: "What is there to think about in my opinion, let's mobilize people and horses to kill them As long as the waterway is on the river, who else can stop us" Zhu Qing said: "In this way, we will abandon the defense of Junshan...... Zeng Shiquan Xiang is in the north Judging from today's performance, his ability on the water is obviously still a little weak Now the Northeast Waterway should be under the control of Dongchang Before the two sides of them can effectively cooperate It is indeed much better to make a strong breakthrough than to defend the isolated island "Senior Brother Chu Yuan nodded slowly, and they all showed a look of approval
Fang Zhennuo muttered: "If it's just Zeng Shiquan and Yu Dayou, it's easy to handle......
Yunbian Qingyiqi: "Strategist, what do you mean by this?"
Fang Zhennuo didn't answer, paced two steps forward, bent down to pick up a piece of bloody shrapnel, and shone it at the light for everyone to see
The eyes of several people in the hall were also focused on his fingertips Looking at it, Jiang Wan suddenly took a breath of cold air Zhu Qing said: "What's the matter" Jiang Wan said: "I was seriously injured and didn't participate in the battle, but I can see it most clearly on the hill The artillery on Yu Dayou's ship is average The range is far inferior to Zeng Shiquan's, and the ship they took is far less good than Dongchang."
Himeno was stunned for a moment and then recalled: "Yes, the ship of the East Factory smells of lacquer, and the wood is new, probably just after it was built, what's wrong?"
Jiang Wan said: "The imperial court's military spending has been tight for many years, where can there be money to build so many new ships" Chu Yuan said: "Wealth is no greater than the emperor's family It has been more than half a year since you made a big fuss in Beijing The emperor has the heart of conquest It is not difficult to raise and build some ships" Jiang Wan said: "Senior brother doesn't know that with Xu Ge Lao's line before, we have explored a lot of details of the imperial court Jiajing alchemy and cultivation and peace and military spending is very large The Ming Dynasty has been unable to make ends meet for many years The imperial court has long been unable to support it due to the frequent harassment of foreign clans such as I Although Longqing has eased after succeeding to the throne, the situation is still grim This year, in order to prevent the barbarians, he transferred Qi Jiguang to build the Great Wall in the north to train his troops, and at the same time sent Yu Dayou south to exterminate Zeng Yi, these two expenses are enough to empty the treasury Now the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are enough, and further apportionment will inevitably cause a popular uprising He doesn't dare But now, such a big warship is placed there one by one It can be seen that each one is quite expensive Where does this money come from, isn't it very embarrassing?"
Speaking of which, Himinohei had already understood thoroughly, and he tightened the armrest of the chair with his ten fingers, and said through gritted teeth: "Qin Juexiang"
Fang Zhennuo said: "Yes, the Yangtze River line is in our eyes, and the imperial court wants to build so many ships, we won't notice it Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang are training troops in the north In addition to repairing the Great Wall and training military horses, they also purchased a large number of fine iron, and recruited a lot of blacksmiths, all of whom were sent to the barracks If you just forge ordinary weapons, it will not be practical, and it is not necessary to be so secretive In my opinion, Zeng Shiquan brought this batch of new cannons Most of them are the masterpieces of the two of them This kind of iron cannon is not small, but it is not easy to transport The Beijing division is closer to Shanxi It is most convenient and fast to transport it by land and then load it on a ship to go south ”
All of a sudden, everyone's hearts sank If it is really as Fang Zhennuo said, in addition to Zeng Shiquan and Yu Dayou, I am afraid that there are also 50,000 elite soldiers and Qin family warriors newly trained by Qi Jiguang Since the autumn of last year, the Qin family has been working hard to expand the number of people and horses At the end of the year, the Hundred Swords Alliance was swallowed Now the two are in one, and the strength has increased sharply Even if you pick and pick up a third of it, I am afraid that there will be one or two hundred thousand people These four people are killed at the same time Mo said that it is the people on the island now Even if all the brothers on the Lushan, Taihu Lake, and the Yangtze River are gathered together, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist
Fang Zhennuo said: "Now all this is still an inference, it may not be true, but the soldiers have a cloud: know yourself and know the enemy, win a hundred battles, I mean, we should send someone to find out and make a plan."
