Zhao Xuanyi also knew in his heart that as long as something happened to the prince, he would definitely be punished. I'm afraid it would be a light thing not to be exterminated by then. Thinking of this, he sighed, "I can only be more careful. Starting tomorrow, I will find a group of Qilin Guards, who will be mainly responsible." The prince’s safety!”
"Isn't there a security team around the prince?" Li Hanyan said.
"Just those losers? What did they do when something happened today? Do you expect them to protect the prince? My head is gone a long time ago!" Zhao Xuanyi took off his coat and sat directly on the bed. "What do you think of today's assassination? "
"If you ask who did it, I think it was Qi Mingshan!"
"How can you be sure?"
"At least other people have no reason to kill the prince. Your Qilin Guards can't, nor can my border guards, and the Far Eastern Army dare not. If you say it's other princes... I think it's unlikely!"
"Why?"
"Even if the killers sent by other princes hide the military camp, an assassination like this requires the right time, the right place, and the right people! Without anyone to help, it would be difficult to change clothes and hide Japanese bows and arrows without anyone's help. Come on, how did you bring these murderous weapons along the way?"
Li Hanyan's words made Zhao Xuanyi enlightened and he suddenly figured out many things. Yes, even if people can hide, what about clothes and weapons? If no one helps, how can the arrow be brought from Ming Dynasty to Japan? Zhao Xuanyi gave Li Hanyan a thumbs up, "Daughter-in-law, you have made a great contribution!"
"me?"
"Of course! I'll reward you with a kiss!" Zhao Xuanyi hugged Li Hanyan, lowered his head and kissed Li Hanyan on the lips!
The next day, Zhao Xuanyi found Zhu Wenyu and told him all about the incident and Li Hanyan's analysis. After Zhu Wenyu heard this, his eyebrows stood up in anger!
"You Qi Lianzhong, you actually dare to use your brain on me? Come on, don't you want your son to achieve great achievements? I will let your Qi family die! Junior sister, come here with the map!" Zhu Wenyu shouted loudly .
Lan Chuyin looked strange, "Senior brother, isn't there a sand table over there?"
"..." Zhu Wenyu.
In the hall of Kyoto, after receiving the report, Taro Yamana angrily tore up all the letters. He sat there with eyes wide open and remained silent. He knew he shouldn't have listened to his subordinates. What's the New Year? Now that he has lost another 20,000 people, he only has about 30,000 people left in his hands. If he continues to spend like this, his family will soon be extinct!
Seeing how angry Yamana Taro was, the other two families didn't have any clear reaction. After all, it was not one of his men who died, and now that there is one less opponent, it wouldn't be a bad thing!
"General Yamana, now that things have happened, don't be too sad, we haven't lost yet!" Kira Harumasa said.
Yamana Taro glared at Kira Harumasa, thinking that the person who died was not yours. Of course you can say this, "General Kira, don't be happy too early. Even if I, the 40,000 people, just buy a lesson, let everyone see it. The Ming army coming this time is not ordinary people, and even if I am defeated, all my family members will be gone, how long can you hold on?"
Yamana Taro's words were obviously meant for two people. Yes, although the three major families compete for interests with each other, once the Yamana family is really gone and only the two major families are left, can they resist? How can we survive this group of Ming troops?
But surprisingly, Kira Harumasa and Sasaki Masaru didn't seem to care about this matter at all. One of them was drinking tea, and the other closed his eyes and said nothing. When Yamana Taro saw this scene, he felt very strange. What did these two people mean? Why don't you speak?
It’s not like they don’t know about the relationship between lips and teeth. Even if Sasaki Masaki is proud because his family has the strongest ninja team in Japan, why doesn’t Kira Harumasa take a stand?
Suddenly a bad premonition came to Yamana Taro's mind. Could it be that these two people have formed a secret alliance? Are you planning to let yourself die at the hands of the Ming army first, and then the two families will join forces to fight against each other? In this way, after defeating the Ming army, can we divide our own territory?
It was only at this moment that Yamana Taro realized that the allies he had always thought were poisonous snakes who wanted to kill him. He had really underestimated these two shameless families.
I never expected that I would be trapped in the hands of my own race!
"Two of you, are you coming to Kyoto just to watch a show? I don't know what your two families are thinking, but I can guarantee that once I fail in Kyoto, my Yamanataro family will be destroyed. Just your two families, even if Even if we can resist the Ming army, I’m afraid we’ll still be victorious!”
"Now that the Ming army only has 100,000 people, it has already posed a fatal threat to Japan. But what if they have reinforcements? Your Sasaki family ninja regiment is very powerful. This is something everyone knows. The Kira family navy It is recognized that the army is huge and the food reserves are sufficient!"
"However, if the Ming army suddenly sends reinforcements and another hundred thousand people come in this cold winter, can we really resist? By then, I am afraid that our three major families will be destroyed. You two can think about it carefully. If we continue to sit here and watch theater, in two months at most, Korea will be standing on the other side watching our Japanese theater!"
After Yamanatarou finished speaking, he stood up, "I have something to deal with now, please think carefully!" After Yamanatarou finished speaking, he turned around and left the hall!
The expressions of the remaining Sasaki Masake and Kira Harumasa became very ugly. Maybe the two families really have a certain strength, but the fact is as Yamana Taro said, with the current strength of the Ming army, they are already facing the enemy. The three major families have posed a threat. If the Ming army sends reinforcements again, it might really happen!
And a figure appeared outside Yamanatarou's room: "General, our family has lost more than half of its total strength. What should we do now?"
"Don't worry, now it depends on the response of the other two families. If they really plan to continue to watch our Yamanatarou being eaten by the Ming army step by step, I will make another plan!"
"Any other plans?"
"Hmph! Want to get my territory? In my dreams, even if I destroy it, I will not give it to these two despicable people. If they don't send troops now, tell all the clan members in the family, put on all the gold and silver, go far beyond the wall, and send all the food and grass Give them all to the Ming army and use their hands to get rid of these two families!" Yamana Taro said through gritted teeth.
"This...?" The servants didn't know what to say. "If they are willing to join the alliance, what should we do?"
Yamana Taro took a sip of hot tea and turned to look out the window, "If they are willing to join forces to resist foreign enemies, then order all the people in our family, as long as they are men over twelve years old, to gather in Kyoto to organize a civil uprising. Soldiers, as long as we can at least raise some troops!"
"yes!"
In Fukuoka City, Zhao Xuanyi and Zhu Wenyu were sitting in the hall, while Liu Bo, Tang Yue and others were standing on both sides. At this moment, there was a person standing in the hall, and this person was Qi Mingshan!
"Qi Mingshan, see the prince and the Duke!" Qi Mingshan bowed deeply after saying this!
Zhu Wenyu smiled slightly, "Mr. Qi, thank you for your hard work coming all the way this time!"
"For the sake of the country, I must!"
"Okay, no matter what, you are now a general, with over 10,000 elite troops under your command. Each of the armies that came to Japan this time has fought with the enemy many times and captured countless lands. But your elite warrior has not moved at all, isn’t it a bit negative?”
Qi Mingshan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything nonsense and nodded lightly, "The prince is right, Wei Chen is on the battlefield for the first time. To those present, he is just an apprentice and plans to learn from everyone else!"
"Escape?" Zhu Wenyu suddenly asked in a cold voice.
Qi Mingshan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "Don't dare!"
"Hmph! The Prime Minister Zuo has been brave in the court all his life. He speaks loudly and is decisive in his actions. When he comes to Mr. Qi, he doesn't seem to see anything. Could it be that Mr. Qi plans to study behind all the generals and wait until he returns to the capital? To be named a skirt-carrying general?"
When Mr. Qi heard these words, he couldn't bear the harsh words. How could a man listen to this? What's more, the prince is asking himself to take the initiative to fight, isn't he just going to fight? I am not willing to fight head-on with the Japanese army. It is still okay to slaughter one or two villages. I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers anyway!
"Prince, my subordinates have been studying the map today. Seeing that the generals have captured so many towns, I am also very excited. Today, I
I plan to fight! "Qi Mingshan shouted loudly.
"Okay! I am indeed a hero! Mr. Qi looks like a left prime minister now!" Zhu Wenyu turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi, "My lord!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi replied with a smile.
"Where have you Qilin Guards fought so far?"
"Now the eastern part has basically been captured, but the western part has not been advanced yet. Above Fukuoka is the Hizen area, which is divided into towns such as Omura, Tsukasaki, and Chikuzen. It is said that these three towns have less than 2,000 enemy troops, and the rest are civilians! "
Zhu Wenyu nodded after hearing this, "Master Qi, how about I leave this fat front to you? Of course, forget it if it's troublesome!"
"No! Your Majesty, please leave it to your subordinates. I don't come to Japan just for free!" Qi Mingshan said loudly.
"Okay! Mr. Qi is courageous, but... I'm afraid, Mr. Qi, you are on the battlefield for the first time. If the enemy deploys heavy troops, someone will help you to relieve the siege. In this way, General Tang!"
"The general is here!" Tang Yue walked over.
"You lead the 10,000 Far Eastern Army and follow Young Master Qi. First, let Young Master Qi fight as he pleases. If you find something wrong, immediately lend a helping hand. You are experienced in the battlefield and are rich. You will definitely be able to take good care of Young Master Qi!" Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.
"The general obeys your order!" Tang Yue turned to look at Qi Mingshan, "Master Qi, when do you plan to send troops, the general will personally lead the elite troops to protect your rear!"
"After lunch, send out troops immediately!" Qi Mingshan said.
"Okay, I will mobilize my troops immediately!" After Tang Yue finished speaking, a sinister look appeared on his face, thinking to himself, don't the Qi family like to meddle in other people's business? Still want to destroy my Tang family? Today I will let you know what a battlefield is!
The happiest person at the moment is undoubtedly Zhao Xuanyi, thinking Qi Mingshan, Qi Mingshan, don’t blame me, you have to frame me and the prince together with your father, don’t you think you are seeking death? Even if I want to save you, I can't!
After the plan was finalized, Qi Mingshan returned to his residence and saw his men "immediately ordered a fire to be cooked and sent out troops after lunch!"
"Send troops? Sir, where are we going?"
"Hizen!"
"Are we going to fight with the army?"
"There is no army, just ourselves!"
"Only us?" The lieutenant on the side was very worried. "My lord, we only have 10,000 troops. Is it really okay?"
"It's just a massacre of a few villages. The Crown Prince, Lord Protector and others clearly look down on us, the people from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, so we have to prove ourselves. We can quickly massacre a few villages before the opponent sends out heavy troops! "
"What if... we encounter a large enemy force?"
"Evacuate immediately, and we still have 10,000 Far Eastern troops escorting us behind. What are you afraid of?"
"Why do my subordinates feel that this Far Eastern Army seems to have bad intentions?"
"Don't worry so much, we are also great men of tomorrow, so we should be brave and fearless!"
"Yes! I will inform my brothers immediately!"
After lunch, Qi Mingshan wore silver armor and led 10,000 cavalry to leave Fukuoka. When everyone in the military camp saw Qi Mingshan leading the troops, they all cast curious eyes!
"Really or not? This young master actually led soldiers to fight?"
"Nonsense, we don't have enough food to feed idle people. These young soldiers from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion also want to go out and do some activities, right?"
"I'm afraid that when these people go to the battlefield and encounter Japanese pirates, they will all wet their pants! Hahaha...!"
All the doubts, all the ridicules, all entered the ears of this group of soldiers from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. They had indeed lived in the capital for a long time and had never experienced war, but they also wanted to prove themselves, and this was the best opportunity. They wanted to Let this group of Qilin Guards get to know them again!
