Chapter 13 The man behind the scenes, please pay attention, please follow up)
Zhou Dunji explained: "The current atmosphere is no longer what it was during the Hongwu period. In addition, she is from the Miao ethnic group and has a straightforward personality."
"I just didn't have any precautions..." Wang Hongyu said that he didn't have any precautions, so he probably wouldn't offend anyone too much.
"Don't worry, Qin Ling is most interested in poisons and torture, and then spying on intelligence... As for men, her interests are very limited." Zhou Dunji introduced in a calm tone.
"You say that as if I'm a femme fatale." Qin Ling joked seemingly complaining.
But Wang Hongyu noticed that although she was joking, her eyes seemed a little dim and not as lively as before.
"Have you found out any details about what happened at the pagoda a few days ago?" Zhou Dunji asked on behalf of Wang Hongyu.
"A short monk was replaced by an equally short killer. He killed people in the pagoda as analyzed and then escaped. The remaining poisonous drugs were found in the monk's residence."
"Since there are residual drugs, have you, a drug expert, found out any details?"
Qin Ling smiled: "Of course, among the ingredients of the drug, I found datura flowers~"
Datura flower...This thing seems to be poisonous and has a paralyzing effect.
"Datura flowers are produced in the south. Due to the sunshine in the south of the Yangtze River and the southwest, the degree of humidity is different. The datura flowers in this medicine can definitely come from the southwest."
really!
With two pieces of evidence, it can be determined that he is an enemy from the southwest, most likely sent by the She'an family.
Because Wang Hongyu was born in Zunyi, he was caught between the She'an family. According to his memory, master Liu Wei, his eldest brother, his second brother and himself had been investigating and guarding against the She'an family.
But why do they keep trying to kill me?
"I will ask someone to protect you, and since your second brother has already taken action, you will be much safer in the near future." The eldest brother reassured himself.
In that case, focus on more important things first.
"Sister Qin, may I ask if General Qin Liangyu and the Shizhu Baigan soldiers have also arrived in Tongzhou?"
"We arrived two days earlier than you and are now stationed in Tongzhou. Why does Hongyu ask this?"
Wang Hongyu said solemnly: "First of all, I want to express my gratitude to Marshal Qin and Sister Qin. In addition, when I was raising food in Liangxiang, I heard some news that was unfavorable to Shizhu's army."
Qin Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded continuously: "Actually, we have to talk about this matter this time. I investigated the intelligence and heard some news. The Northern Army specifically regarded our Shizhu Baishan soldiers as aliens. Moreover, there was no food and grass supply.
The food is in place, everyone hasn’t had enough to eat for two days..."
Zhou Dunji said: "I have been in Jiliao for two years, but not long ago, Liangxiang suddenly had food supplies blocked. It seems that there may be some connection behind it."
Wang Hongyu has long been aware of the subtlety of the situation.
Shizhu chieftain soldiers were not provided with food supplies and were located in Tongzhou, which of course reminded him of the internal strife recorded.
Historically, internal strife occurred between the Shizhu chieftain's white pole soldiers and Qi Jin's Zhejiang soldiers. Among them, the Zhejiang soldiers even used cannons, and large-scale looting occurred while fighting.
Qin Liangyu's white-pole soldiers have been praised by Wanli, Xiong Tingbi and others. Although the Zhejiang soldiers trained by Qi Jin and Zhang Mingshi were not the Qi's soldiers who were massacred before, they were also trained according to the "New Book of Jixiao" and Qi Jiguang's experience in Jizhen.
of elite.
Such powerful soldiers had internal strife for no reason? The two armies, known for their discipline, suddenly plundered the people?
It's never that simple.
"How many soldiers and horses are currently gathered in Tongzhou?"
Zhou Dunji introduced: "There are 20,000 soldiers and horses on the nine sides, more than 2,000 Sichuan soldiers of our department, more than 3,000 Shizhu soldiers of Qin Liangyu, and more than 3,000 Youyang soldiers of Ran Yuelong."
"Are there any other soldiers from the Confederate army coming?"
"Indeed, there are still more than 3,000 soldiers from Zhejiang Province. They are expected to arrive tomorrow. In addition, there are also some people from the Sichuan Army who are also the old troops of the old general Liu Wei."
The timing is just right~
Zhejiang soldiers, Sichuan soldiers, and Shizhu's white-armed soldiers were the strongest southern army in the Ming Dynasty. They were almost the strongest soldiers in the Ming Dynasty after Saarhu.
To resolve the contradictions, come to me from now on~
"I wonder where General Qi Jin, the nephew of General Qi Jiguang, is now?" This Qi Jin is quite famous, at least in later generations, he is more famous than generals of the same level, but he is now a veteran general in his 60s.
"Qi Jin, he is not with the Zhejiang soldiers. He has been transferred to Ji Town to fill the vacancy after Sarhu. But when the Zhejiang soldiers go to Liaodong, he will definitely be sent to take charge." Zhou Dunji has been in Jiliao for 2 years.
Years old, naturally I am more familiar with the situation.
"What you said is as if the current generals are not good enough." Qin Ling smiled. As an expert in intelligence, she knew very well why Zhou Dunji did not say who was currently commanding the Zhejiang army.
She continued: "The Zhejiang army is now commanded by General Zhang Mingshi. He is from Zhejiang. He was a martial arts scholar in the 23rd year of Wanli. He is a very powerful musketry and artillery expert. He was once the general of the Qi family army and later served as the general of Yunnan Linyuan."
Having said this, she glanced at Zhou Dunji and communicated between her brows.
"Just tell me, I'm not angry."
"Humph, that's right."
Qin Ling couldn't help but smile and smooth her hair. The Miao-style silver hairpins on her bun flickered under the candlelight. The Miao skirt paired with the long legs like chopsticks under the blue leggings made people feel happy.
It's hard to calm down.
"Just replace the leggings with stockings..." Wang Hongyu didn't know where to put his eyes, so he simply looked sideways at the ground and thought.
"Next, Zhang Mingshi was convicted of the felony of "letting thieves kill good people" because he selfishly used troops against chieftains in Yunnan, and was imprisoned for ten years..."
this!
This crime is almost the same as Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu.
Wang Hongyu couldn't help but glance at his elder brother, and saw a sigh in his eyes. Obviously, the bitterness behind this would be unforgettable only to those who have had similar experiences.
...
Late at night.
In the restaurant, Yao Zongwen talked eloquently for several hours before returning to his residence.
After the show ended, several generals were still chatting.
"This Xiong Tingbi urges us to die. It's really abominable."
"Yes, we also found the female chieftain from Shizhu."
"That's right! She's a female chieftain, and she's trying to steal our position. Who else will we do if we don't do it to her?"
Gao Xueru smiled knowingly and looked at the majestic general. The general turned back and nodded slightly with tacit understanding.
"It's getting late. You go back and remember to isolate and provoke the chieftain soldiers, along with the Sichuan soldiers."
"As commanded."
After the other generals left, only Gao Xueru and the general were left, sitting in a private room.
"Isn't it time Brother Ma showed up?"
"Huh, you really kept me waiting for a long time."
A low response came from deep in the elegant room.
There was a clicking sound, and a wall deep in the elegant room was opened. There was actually a small secret room hidden deep in the elegant room, and there was an old scribe in the secret room.
Gao Xueru smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Ma, do you feel bored when you are alone in the secret room?"
The old scribe came out unhurriedly: "It's boring, but it's not boring. It's just that Yao Zongwen is so verbose that it makes his ears go numb. Compared to me, Ma Wenqing, he is still too young."
This elderly scribe was none other than Ma Wenqing, who had slandered Qi Jiajun. This chapter has been completed!
