At the end of October of the 40th year of Jiajing, He Liu and Lao Hu arrived in Yangzhou through the canal. At the same time, hundreds of Japanese pirates had ships of more than 30,000 Japanese pirates and hundreds of warships, successively landed on a large scale in Xiangshan, Fenghua Ninghai and other places in northeastern Taizhou. Yu Dayou led the Yu family army in southern Zhejiang to join the Qi family army in Taizhou. The decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese pirates was about to occur.

He Liu and Lao Hu met Hu Zongxian in Yangzhou.

Having not seen each other for half a year, Hu Zongxian seemed to be a few years older. When he held a banquet for He Liu and Old Hu, he kept coughing.

He Liu said to Hu Zongxian sincerely: Hubutang. The southeast half of the country is carried on your shoulders, so you must take care of yourself!

Hu Zongxian forced a smile: I thought when I was young, I was also a Jinshi who led the army. I could drive a 100-pound pound hard bow and danced a 20-pound big knife. I couldn't accept my old age! I knew my life span, and it would be almost three or five years before I died. I had to do the big task of eliminating the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang before I died!

He Liu raised his wine glass and said: Hubutang, you are a loyal minister of the court! I, the imperial envoy, would like to greet you on behalf of the court!

After saying that, he drank it all.

Hu Zongxian coughed again, and he raised his glass and drank it and said: Lao Liu, I want to thank you! Because you dug out 10 million taels of dirty silver from the private salt case in Jiangnan, the Yu family army of Qi's army had sufficient military pay. The court was preparing to buy a firearm worth 2 million taels of silver from the Franji people at one time, and transported it to Zhejiang to form a special firearm camp in the Qi family army. The money was used.

He Liudao: I am responsible for my own affairs and dare not express my merits. After eating this meal with Hu Butang, Lao Hu and I changed our horses in a short time and went to Taizhou to announce the edict to General Qi.

Hu Zongxian said: Qi Jiguang is a tiger general who is intimidating the southeast. The emperor gave him the scattered rank of General Cavalry, and he deserves the word "Pi"! But I advise you to go to Taizhou to announce the imperial edict in ten days and a half months. Now the war in Taizhou is intensifying. Japanese pirates, no matter whether you are an imperial envoy or a commoner, they will kill the people from our Ming Dynasty when they see them.

He Liu thought for a while and replied: Since the war is in full swing, I should rush to the Qi family army as soon as possible to announce the edict to inspire the morale of the brothers in the Qi family army!

Hu Zongxian said: Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. I will send you twenty personal soldiers from the Governor's Office to escort you to Taizhou. Don't think that I only sent twenty people to escort you is a disrespect for the imperial envoy. The entire Zhejiang Zhi-Zhi can send out to reinforce the Yu army of the Qi family, and I have sent to Taizhou.

He Liu bowed: Then thank Hu Butang.

He Liu suddenly remembered something.

He took out a brocade box, and inside it were two precious Koryo wild ginseng.

Bai Xiaoyan is He Liu's virtuous support. She knew that He Liu was coming to Jiangnan and would definitely meet Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang. Hu Zongxian was in poor health, and Goryeo wild ginseng was a great supplement. Bai Xiaoyan went to the common hall to buy these two ginsengs and asked He Liu to give them to Hu Zongxian.

He Liudao: I know that Hubutang never accepts gifts. Your father is an old senior of our Jinyiwei. According to the seniority of Jinyiwei, Hubutang and I are peers. These two wild ginseng are just considered as gifts between brothers.

Hu Zongxian coughed for a while, barely squeezed out a smile, and said half-jokingly: Who said I would not accept gifts? I just don’t accept gifts from those who asked me to do things. How could I not want your gifts from Lao Liu? I have accepted these two ginseng! I hope they can last me a few more days. I can raise more military supplies and food for the Yu family army of Qi and Yu family army to eliminate the Japanese pirates.

Farewell to Hu Zongxian, He Liu and Lao Hu came to Taizhou.

According to Hu Zongxian, the main force of the Qi family army should be stationed in Xinhe County in Taizhou at this moment.

He Liu and Lao Hu came to the city of Xinhe County, but there was no defender at the top of the city. Only two veterans in their sixties stood at the gate of the city.

Lao Hu said: Could it be that General Qi is singing an empty city plan for Japanese pirates? Why is there no one in Xinhe County?

He Liu walked to the two veterans and showed his waist card: I am from the Jinyiwei Beifusi. Come and announce the order to you General Qi.

Two veterans knelt down and saluted: Meet the imperial envoy! The four personal soldiers of the Governor's Office had arrived in Xinhe two days in advance and told us that General Qi was coming. However, the war was urgent. Yesterday, our General Qi led the army to Taozhu! Before leaving, General Qi told the imperial envoy to stay in Xinhe City for a few days. At most, seven or eight days, and at least three or five days, he would lead his troops back to Xinhe.

He Liudao: Okay, you can take us into the city first and find a place to rest.

Two veterans led He Liu and his group to Qinghe County. The war was in a rush, and this place had become Qi Jiguang's central army tent.

As soon as he entered the county government office, He Liu met a woman in her thirties.

This woman has a beautiful face and a pair of phoenix eyes that look bright. However, unlike ordinary beautiful women, this woman seems to have a sense of heroism.

The woman was carrying a vegetable basket on her hand. The vegetable basket was filled with radishes and some vegetables.

Veteran Ding quickly recommended to He Liu: This is our Concubine Qi!

He Liu was wearing a flying fish suit. Concubine Qi knew that it was the imperial envoy who had been sent by the Jinyiwei. She quickly saluted and said: Meet the imperial envoy!

He Liu hurriedly said: Mrs. Qi, please get up! I can't bear this bow!

In the Ming army, some people may not know He Liu of the Jinyiwei, but everyone knows the reputation of Concubine Qi!

The Concubine Qi in front of him is the tigress among the famous champions!

Concubine Qi, the daughter of the commander of the Nanxi Guard. Of course, a tiger girl will appear in the general's door.

Hu Zongxian used to have an almost joking test for Concubine Qi: he was powerful and knew the military situation, and often had his subordinates Qi Yuanjing (Jiguang).

Qi Jiguang was a great hero who stood up to the sky, a famous general of the Jiajing Dynasty, and a pillar in the southeast. When he returned home, he was afraid of his wife's ears.

He Liu once heard his colleagues from Jinyiwei tell three jokes about Qi Jiguang's fear of his wife.

One day Qi Jiguang drank with his generals. The generals aroused him: When Qi Shuai Ye was in Shandong, he led tens of thousands of troops in the army, and came to Zhejiang to command 10,000 elite Qi family troops. How can such a hero be afraid of his wife? We have a plan to make Mrs. Qi go in the future and fear you Shuai Ye! If you invite her into the camp, we hold sharp blades in our hands and line them up on both sides, so that she can see your prestige in the army! After seeing your prestige in the army, she will naturally be afraid of you in the future!

After hearing this, Qi Jiguang felt it was reasonable, so he sent someone to invite Concubine Qi into the camp. When Concubine Qi entered the camp, all the soldiers and generals in the tent were brightly armoured and held sharp blades in their hands, looking murderous.

Mrs. Qi grew up in a military camp since she was a child. When she was a child, she used the rebellious head cut by her father as a ball to play with! Can such a formation scare her?

She didn't look at all afraid, but instead looked majestic and shouted at Qi Jiguang: What's the matter with calling me?

Qi Jiguang was frightened when he heard this. He knelt down and said stammeringly: Recently, the training in the army was rigorous. Specially, I would like to invite the wife to parade!
