Number of People

  Chapter 24 Finding the way with Scroll A

  Feng Ziying was even more shocked after hearing these words.

  The Battle of Wen Lu Qingchang? This is the Imjin Japanese Rebellion.

   Could it be that this period of history has not changed, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi finally launched his mainland campaign? The Battle of the Blue Hoof Hall? Battle of Ulsan?

  The Battle of Bijo Hall, wasn't that a fierce battle between Li Rubai and Kobayakawa Takakage? Feng Ziying also knew about the Battle of Ulsan that Yang Hao, Ma Gui, and North Korea's Liu Rulong fought fiercely against Japan's Kato Kiyomasa, Kuroda Nagamasa and other giants, and they were also beaten to death.

So the Imjin Japanese Invasion is over. In Feng Ziying's impression, after the Imchen Japanese Invasion, due to the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyori's incompetence, and the fact that Tokugawa Ieyasu's strength has not been damaged at all, Tokugawa quickly became Japan's new leader.

  Although Ishida Mitsunari objected, this did not affect Tokugawa Ieyasu's rapid climb to the number one position in Japan. At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu probably has neither the energy nor the willingness to ask about China's affairs, right?

It is not his turn to ask Tokugawa Ieyasu about China's affairs, but this is only based on the historical premise of the previous life. Whether it is still like the previous life, whether there are some different changes in it, it is really hard to say.

  And once there is a change, with the ambition of the Japanese, it might not be possible to extend their claws to the mainland again. Well, of course, the greater possibility should be to extend to the Korean Peninsula.

  Reminiscent of the Jurchens who are rapidly rising outside the pass and the Mongols outside the Great Wall who are still harassing the nine sides of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Feng Ziying really feels a little dizzy. This world is really different from the previous life.

   "Liji, China is too big. In the past few years, I have been traveling and spying. Although China's military is weak, it is too big. Once they mobilize, we have no hope..."

   "Hmph, do you think the generals don't know this?" The man named "Li Ji" snorted softly, and seemed to have slowly recovered from the previous excitement.

"But without China's support, we should have been showing off in Pyongyang a few years ago. Perhaps the generals only hope that China will have no time to worry about others, so that we can re-enter North Korea... Well, this is not something we consider. We just need to complete our tasks according to the requirements of Xiuci's class. I would rather go back to the army than you wandering in China like this, but Your Excellency Xiuci also told me that our mission in China is more important than our own life and death. ..."

"But Mr. Xiuji's vision is too far away, er, too grand, I think..." The guy named "Kenjiro" was interrupted by the other party, "You don't need to think, you just need to obey orders, you think you are better than Mr. Xiuji smarter?"

"Hey!"

  Kenjiro stopped talking, and the other person seemed to be lost in thought.

Both Feng Ziying and Zuo Liangyu held their breaths, the distance between them was too close, separated by a **** of the rockery, because the sky was too dark, this **** was just like an arch to separate Feng Ziying and Zuo Liangyu. Covered by people, both of them pressed their bodies as close to the rockery as possible. Although it was uncomfortable, they didn't dare to make a sound at this time.

   "Let's go, we are guests, we still have to behave, and by the way, let's get to know the people who came to observe from Gyeonggi, so we can get in touch with each other..."

The two figures slowly disappeared with the sound of footsteps. Feng Ziying only felt that his whole body was soaked. If the other party found out, he believed that he and Zuo Liangyu would immediately turn into two corpses. These two people should not be the legendary Iga or Koga ninjas in literary novels, otherwise, I'm afraid they would have noticed their hiding place long ago.

   Seeing the two figures disappear into the shadow of the lights on the other side of the pond, Zuo Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Feng, these two people look like Japanese."

"You also know the Japanese?" Feng Ziying was quite surprised. It would not be surprising if Nanzhili and Fujian and Zhejiang knew the Japanese, but Linqing is located in the inland of Shandong, and Zuo Liangyu also knew the Japanese, which made him very surprised. Surprised.

"Brother Feng, I have never seen anyone on the Linqing pier. I have seen the red-eyed and green-eyed Xiyi and the dark Kunlun slaves. Besides, this Japanese man is not new. I heard my uncle say it a few years ago. The guards of our Linqing Guard also fought against the Japanese in that North Korea, and they didn't see any big deal. They said they just closed the door to show off their prestige, but in fact, that's what it is..."

  Feng Ziying was taken aback again. Can the soldiers of Linqing Guard go to the Battle of Renchen? so awesome?

  Seeing that Feng Ziying didn’t seem to believe it, Zuo Liangyu quickly explained: “Some of our Linqing Guard soldiers were taken away by Dezhou and Jining to serve as battalion soldiers on rotation.

   Only then did Feng Ziying realize that the soldiers stationed in the town were all drawn from the elite of the guards, which is why the soldiers in the guards are now weak and withered.

Every few years, the command of the governor's office of each army will come to harvest a crop of leeks, either to go to the border towns to defend the border, or to go to the towns to camp soldiers. The former may go to the battlefield at any time to confront the Mongols or Jurchens, while the latter But once there is a big war, they must be transferred to the front line immediately, no matter where they are, they have to go.

  The two continued to walk along the wall while talking, and soon came to the east wall ear room of Ren Garden.

On the porch next to the ear room, a bandit holding a bamboo gun was yawning and drowsy. Obviously, after a day of excitement, these farmers or kiln workers who came from afar were still a bit overwhelmed. The smoothness of the day also made them relax a lot.

The two didn't dare to get too close, but they couldn't find a suitable place to lean on the east wall. Fortunately, there was a pile of abandoned stones next to them. The two wanted to move them but were afraid of making a noise, so they could only quietly Waiting for the yawning guy to see if he'll fall asleep or leave.

  As one wishes, the guy couldn’t survive the embarrassment in the end, and found a suitable doorpost to lean against and went to sleep. The two quickly lifted a few stones and folded them carefully, and quietly climbed out of the wall.

  Turn out the door, sneak out along the side alley, facing the stone archway diagonally opposite, at this time there are already people walking around like the stone archway.

Zuo Liangyu was very familiar with this situation, from Yongqing Street to Banjing Street, just two dodged, bypassed the thieves who had already started to set up defenses in the stone archway, and got into the pile of dilapidated alleys behind Banjing Street .

It can also be seen from the other party's defense at the stone archway that there are still some military-savvy talents among the bandits. A poor neighborhood is not interested, but they also know that it is an unsafe place.

The situation in the city has not been completely cleared up, especially when the inner city is still in the hands of the guards. Once the guards hide in Banjing Street, they may surprise the bandits stationed on the line of Shipaifang and Yongqing Street at any time. , So they quickly set up checkpoints on the line from Shipaifang to Banjing Street.

   Finally got into the alley behind Banjing Street, and the two of them could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

  After arriving here, at least it is relatively safe, and bandits will not easily enter such areas with complicated roads and unknown conditions.

   To put it bluntly, what will happen to three or five people who come in? If they are blocked in and suffocated to death, no one may find out. Moreover, this area is known to be a poor residential area. There is no oil and water. Who wants to come?

   "Brother Feng, this is the Weijia Hutong. A friend of mine lives here, or..."

  Feng Ziying shook her head: "Erlang, no need, we have to rush out of the city, so we should not drag others down. Besides, what are you looking for with your friend now?"

"Hehe, Brother Feng, that will be of great use. He is most familiar with the road conditions from this road to Ciyu Temple, and he walks along the Ciyu Temple inside the outer city wall. I reckon he must know where there are bandits along this road. We We have to find a way to avoid bandits and sneak out through Dongshuimen."

  Zuo Liangyu looked confident.

  Feng Ziying didn't expect this guy to be such a moth, but she didn't know the place well, so she really didn't dare to take risks. After thinking about it, she asked, "Is your brother reliable?"

"It's absolutely reliable. Monk Wang's father passed away last year, and his mother, Ci Yu'an, became a aunt. He lives with his uncle. His uncle, Wang Chaozuo, is the most famous wicker basket weaver here. All weavers here Honor him, . . . "

  There is no discomfort or pain in Zuo Liangyu's words, maybe it's because of years of life like this, or too many such situations around him that the precocious he has turned a blind eye to it.

Feng Ziying felt that the name Wang Chaozuo was familiar, but she couldn't remember it. Maybe she was really sensitive. When she heard a name, she thought it was a famous person in history. Maybe it was someone she met in her previous life. An ordinary person's name.

   "Well, if you think there is no problem, go and look for it, but it's late at this time, can you shout well?" Feng Ziying was still a little uneasy, "Don't alarm his adults."

"His uncle doesn't seem to be at home these days. He's busy with something outside. I have a secret code with him..." Zuo Liangyu happily led Feng Ziying through the alley, and soon came to a dilapidated place. outside the low wall.

   Turned over lightly and entered the yard, leaving Feng Ziying outside.
