Chapter 107: Purple Mountain
Luo Yun exclaimed: "Adults also know?"
Qiu Feng said suspiciously: "Wang Zhi, but the leader of the Japanese Bandits back then?"
Chang Wei nodded, and said slowly: "It is rumored that Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese Bandits, buried hundreds of millions of silver on Qimen Island, but the treasure map is divided into several parts, the Buddha Lang Ji people, the Japanese people, all have one in their hands, and in the past fifty or sixty years, every year there are people who go to Qimen Island to look for treasures, but they get nothing."

Qiu Feng raised his eyebrows, and a layer of evil flashed on his face, "I can't find it for fifty or sixty years, so Su Qingcheng is playing with painting cakes to satisfy hunger?"
Luo Yun sneered, "I think I am invincible, but I was played by a little woman, it's really ridiculous!"
"You can't say that, you are far away in Nanyang and Liaodong, isolated and helpless, and you don't know the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and you are in urgent need of money, so when you hear that there is a treasure to be found, you will naturally come to try your luck. Wan Shitong's persuasion made the faces of the two look a little better.
Chang Wei flipped out a chart on the side and asked, "Where is Brother Luo's foundation?"
Luo Yun pointed to the map and said: "I used to follow Uncle Yan Siqi in Penghu, but five years ago, Uncle Yan died of illness, and Zheng Zhilong dominated Penghu, so I took my brothers to Manraka, and there were small strongholds in Champa, Luzon, and Penghu. β
Chang Wei's eyes froze, "Yan Siqi, the king of the opening stage, is your uncle?"
Luo Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "Adults also know the name Taiwan?"
Daming's name for Taiwan Island is more miscellaneous, there are chicken coops, Beigang, Dayuan, Taiwanese, Taiwan, Dongfan and other names, the official name is Penghu.
Yan Siqi and Li Dan, Yang Tiansheng, Chen Xinji, Zheng Zhilong and other 28 people formed an alliance in Hirado Port, Japan, and the Japanese rebelled against the shogunate, after the defeat of the army to Taiwan, seeing that the fertile terrain of the treasure island is dangerous, so he recruited more than 3,000 Fujian fishermen, large-scale reclamation of Taiwan, later generations called the first person to open Taiwan.
"Although the king of Kaitai is dead, but Taiwan is vast, why did Brother Luo go away to Manraka? Could it be that he is not in agreement with Zheng Zhilong?" Chang Wei heard that there was another hidden meaning in Luo Yun's words.
Luo Yun was silent for a while before he said: "Zheng Zhilong's words and deeds are inconsistent, sometimes he is recruited by the imperial court, sometimes he rebels as a pirate, he only has interests in his eyes and no righteousness, and he is not a person who has achieved great things. With him, he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed for a long time, so he stays away. β
Chang Wei nodded thoughtfully, and asked Qiu Feng on another map: "Brother Qiu, how is the situation on Phi Dao?"
Phi Island, in the east of the Yalu River estuary, hangs in the West Korean Bay, so it is also called the Dongjiang River. Eighty miles to the north is to reach the Golden Gate, and it is only separated from North Korea by three miles of sea.
Mao Wenlong recruited Han people based on Eighty Lipi Island, and won successive victories in Zhenjiang, Niumaozhai and Dingmao in ten years, recovering Jinzhou, Lushun, Fuzhou and Yongning. Achieved unprecedented great achievements since the Ming army fought against the Houjin. Therefore, the imperial court set up Dongjiang Town and promoted Mao Wenlong to the chief soldier.
Qiu Feng said: "Although Mao Wenlong can contain Jiannu, he has no enterprising spirit in recent years, and he lies about his military exploits and receives money, and he is not a person who can entrust his life. β
"These two people's judgments of Zheng Zhilong and Mao Wenlong are extremely accurate, and their intelligence is higher than that of martial arts. Moreover, Phi Dao and Taiwan are the most dangerous places, no matter what, let them return to their hearts!" Chang Wei secretly planned.
He asked again: "Brother Qiu can be in the army?"
"No!" Qiu Feng said: "My father is the master of Liaoyang Kuaijian Gate, when Liaoyang City was broken, most of my fellow disciples died at the hands of Jiannu, and my father desperately sent me and a dozen brothers out of the city. Since then, he has been fighting in Liaodong, killing Jiannu to sharpen his martial arts, and after breaking into fame, he was recruited by Mao Wenlong to be a secret agent, specializing in espionage intelligence, and assassinating Jiannu masters. β
Qiu Feng stared at Chang Wei's eyes and said, "Frankly speaking, I hate both Jiannu burning, killing, looting and occupying our country's land, and I hate the weakness of the imperial court and the incompetence of the army!"
"Hahaha!"
Luo Yun smiled heartily and stretched out his hand, "It seems that Brother Qiu and I are the same way, I really don't know each other!"
Syllable!
Qiu Feng's cold eyes revealed a hint of blazing, and he reached out to high-five Luo Yun.
"It's a blessing that the two of them can turn the conflict into a jade silk!" Chang Wei smiled: "Although my family has been an official for five generations, I have been picked up as an official." β
Immediately, he told him about his entanglement with Wei Liangdong.
"Although this kid is an official, like you, he hates foreign invasions of my territory and kills my people, and he also looks down on the incompetence of the court. Wan Shitong said casually: "Although this kid's martial arts are not as good as yours, he is rich and powerful, and this is much better than you." β
Luo Yun said with relief: "No wonder the adults are willing to give us muskets!"
"Ivory, spices, pearls, minerals from Nanyang, ginseng, mink, pearls, and leather goods from Liaodong and North Korea, these things are shipped to Jiangnan and the profits are extremely high......" At the moment, Chang Wei discussed business with the two.
Luo Yun is a maritime merchant of the nature of a pirate, and he definitely needs to do business, and Qiu Feng assassinated Jiannu and plundered his property to weaken the enemy and strengthen himself, and he has a lot of things in his hands.
Immediately, the banquet was set up to discuss the specific details, and at midnight, He Chong came with the news: the whereabouts of the White Lotus Sect had been learned.
Chang Wei Huoran got up and said, "Are you two willing to help me?"
The two of them said: "It's a trivial matter!"
Together with the Nine Sons of the Big Dipper, the Twin Heroes of Fengyun, they rushed to the Shenji Camp and ordered a hundred musketeers and a hundred cavalry.
Chang Wei let all the eleven masters change into the military uniforms of the Shenji Battalion, intending to catch the other party by surprise, more than 200 people went out of the Shenwu Gate and marched more than ten miles southeast along the shore of Houhu Lake (Xuanwu Lake) to meet He Chong and Tang Jinyi outside the Taiping Gate.
"Wei Shao, the thief is at the northern foot of the Purple Mountain. There was a hint of worry between He Chong's eyebrows.
"Purple Mountain!" Chang Wei looked up at the dark and dreary southeast, the outline of the Purple Mountain stretched like a dragon under the starry sky, "This is troublesome." β
The Purple Mountain is more than 60 miles in circumference, although the mountain is not high or dangerous, but the terrain is undulating and changeable, the ancient trees in the mountain are towering, the water system is developed, and the lakes, rivers and streams, ponds and marshes are densely covered. And the cavalry and musketeers could not be lined up in the mountains and forests, and there was no place for them at all.
Chang Wei said: "How many people are there?" Do you know the exact location?"
He Chong said: "There are more than fifty people, about between the North Peak and Meihua Mountain!"
Chang Wei asked again: "Where are the people from the Thirteen Chained Village?"
"Also in the mountains!" He Chong sighed: "Between Tianbao Mountain and Xiaomao Mountain, the number of people is unknown. β
"Both sides have entered the mountain, what tricks are they playing?" Chang Wei's heart froze slightly.
There is no exact location, and looking for more than 50 people in the Purple Mountain within a radius of sixty miles is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Chang Wei thought for a moment and made a decision, "It's all here, you can't just go back like this, let's go to the mountain tonight to take a look, if you can't find it, you can only send an army to search the mountain." β
At the moment, let the Shenji Battalion be stationed at the foot of the mountain by the middle lake, Chang Wei, He Chong and other masters, as well as more than a dozen people who are familiar with the terrain, went into the mountain to search overnight.
After turning in the mountains for more than two hours without harvesting, the third watch crossed the north peak into the Meihua Mountain area, and advanced one or two miles to a place where the terrain of the valley between the two mountains was dangerous.
"There's someone in the dock fort ahead!" Xie Zuofu's deep voice lifted Chang Wei's spirits.
