Chapter 361 Cell Phone and Traitor
"leader."
Zhang Jun said: "Why not attack Haimenwei? If we can break through Haimenwei..."
Song Mu Liangzi shook her head. "Don't worry. Once the Song Gate is broken, Jiang Qingzhi will be in a state of panic. Then he will follow me wherever I attack. This guy! Once he loses his composure, everything he does will be wrong."
Zhang Jun smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Chief."
Song Mu Liangzi ordered: "Go and contact those Ming people and report Jiang Qingzhi's movements at any time."
……
Haimenwei is a place name, named after the city of Haimenwei. There are many soldiers and civilians in the city, but most of the local big families live outside the city.
According to them, they are safe in the city, but they have lost their freedom.
Cao Jin's family and Huang Duo's family are both outside the city.
Both families were involved in shipping and cargo trading and were considered prominent figures in the local area.
Cao Jin is over thirty years old and looks radiant, which makes people like him even more.
Huang Duo, however, looked a little thin. He had suffered a lot while working on a ship in his early years. Even after living a life of luxury for many years, his complexion was still dark.
In Cao Jin's study, the two sat opposite each other.
"We've got news that the woman is getting ready to take action," Cao Jin said.
"You mean..." Huang Duo took a sip of tea, "Jiang Qingzhi is in charge of the Haimen Guard, accompanied by more than a thousand cavalrymen. They are the elite troops from the capital!"
"So what if he's an elite? Can he still go to sea?" Cao Jin said contemptuously: "With us watching, Jiang Qingzhi's every move will be exposed. That woman took advantage of the situation to attack... Brother Huang, Songmen has accumulated a lot of good things recently."
"Songmen!" Huang Duo hesitated for a moment, "My cousin and his family are all there. The Japanese pirates are cruel. If..."
"That woman said she would give us 10%." Cao Jin said softly, "Are you going to do it or not?"
"My cousin..."
"You have always coveted this famous inkstone of mine... Here it is for you."
"My cousin and I have been at odds since childhood, so it's just right that he's dead."
……
After training for a few days, Tang Shunzhi was a little confused. "Qingzhi, I can see that you are training like this. It means to enforce discipline. You should first rectify your spirit. But this kind of training takes time. I am afraid it is too late, right?"
"Mr. Jingchuan is indeed sharp-eyed." Jiang Qingzhi stood at the edge of the training ground, folded his arms, and said, "Look to the side."
Tang Shunzhi looked around calmly, "There are many houses and people."
"I bet the clan's spies are among them." Jiang Qingzhi said calmly, "I train the Haimen Guards to enforce discipline. The real fight against the pirates will depend on the cavalry I bring."
Chen Ji came and said, "Master, I have discovered the origins of those spies."
"Who?" A murderous look flashed in Jiang Qingzhi's eyes.
"Local big families Cao Jin and Huang Duo."
"Keep an eye on them. Oh, and let Shitou come over."
Sun Chonglou has recently become obsessed with fishing. He follows a few local fishermen to the beach every day and does not return until the evening.
"Master, what do you think this is?"
Sun Chonglou came with his trouser legs rolled up and carrying a wooden barrel.
Jiang Qingzhi took a look and said, "Jumping fish? This thing can only be fried and eaten. This is... oysters. Let's grill it!"
Later, the master and servant had dinner alone.
Jumping fish is actually not that delicious, and no one was interested in it in the early days. But the Chinese have a skill, which is to turn unpopular ingredients into delicacies.
"It's delicious!" Sun Chonglou looked up and smiled. The smile looked so innocent that it reminded Jiang Qingzhi of Zhang Tong, the little eunuch beside the Taoist priest.
"Eat less." Seeing him scoop another bowl of rice, Jiang Qingzhi said, "Just eat!"
This guy just ate two large bowls of meat dishes, a bunch of seafood, and three large bowls of rice. His stomach is about to burst.
Sun Chonglou squatted on the side with a bitter face and ate white rice. Dou Jialan, who had just finished his meal outside and took over the guarding, couldn't help but smile when he saw him.
Another guard said, "Shitou is the only one in the family who can do this. If it were anyone else, the old man would kick him away."
"Take a walk after eating! No squatting!" Jiang Qingzhi shouted.
Sun Chonglou, who had just taken out a conch to play with, had a sad face. When he saw Dou Jialan outside, he glared at her.
Jiang Qingzhi finished his meal slowly and called Sun Chonglou into the room.
"Come out with me later."
"Oh!" The conch in Sun Chonglou's hand is quite beautiful.
Jiang Qingzhi took out something and said, "Put this in a secret place in Cao Jin's study later."
"Oh!"
Jiang Qingzhi asked: "Aren't you curious?"
Sun Chonglou said: "Young Master is a great man of the Mohist school. Even if Young Master can summon thunder, I think it is reasonable."
This guy!
Jiang Qingzhi smiled.
In the afternoon, Sun Chonglou suddenly appeared outside Cao's house with dozens of soldiers.
"Open the door!"
The door opened, and Sun Chonglou pushed it open. "I'm ordered to search and pick up things, so be the fucking honest!"
Cao Jin rushed over and was startled when he saw Sun Chonglou, thinking that something had happened.
"The Cao family never lags behind in building bridges and roads. This is..." The housekeeper pretended to be indignant, "Could someone be trying to frame my family?"
Snapped!
The housekeeper covered his face, and Sun Chonglou looked down at his hands. "The young master said that I don't have a broken palm and can't kill people. It's true."
The butler couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Search!"
Sun Chonglou rushed in with his men.
All members of the Cao family were driven to the courtyard and made to squat. The women cried and the children howled, and it was quite lively.
Sun Chonglou entered the study, looked around, closed the door, took out something, fiddled with it, and placed it behind several books on the bookshelf.
After a fruitless search, Sun Chonglou left with his men, cursing.
Cao Jin returned to the study in shock and ordered someone to check on Huang's house. However, before anyone left the house, Huang Duo arrived.
"Just now, the soldiers searched many houses, including mine. Fortunately, those things were hidden well, otherwise..." Huang Duo was terrified, "You here..."
"Same."
The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that Jiang Qingzhi learned that the local big families were colluding with the Japanese pirates, so he did this." Cao Jin laughed and said, "It's a pity that he made a wasted trip."
"The day after tomorrow, when the bad news comes from Songmen, I will want to see how embarrassed Jiang Qingzhi becomes and how angry and humiliated he becomes." On the bookcase, a mobile phone lay quietly behind several books, with a dark screen.
……
"Master, how do you know that you haven't read those books?"
"People who really love books would like to have all the books at hand and read them at any time. Only those who like to show off their knowledge would like to have bookshelves filled with all kinds of books, wishing that everyone would know that they are well-read..."
“Those books are gathering dust.”
Seeing this guy's impatient look, Jiang Qingzhi cursed, "Get lost!"
"Order!"
Sun Chonglou ran away with a cheer, "Jia Lan, do you want to go fishing?"
"Don't go!"
“The beach is fun and you can play in the sea.”
Tang Shunzhi came, "How is it?"
"Waiting for news." Jiang Qingzhi said.
"Or, we can order the sea gate guards to search the nearby sea with speedboats." Tang Shunzhi suddenly shook his head, "This is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The best way is to search everywhere, but the navy is useless."
This is the helpless situation that the Ming Dynasty is facing when facing the Japanese pirates.
Jiang Qingzhi said: "Don't worry, wait for good news."
"Can you plant an insider among the Japanese pirates?" Tang Shunzhi laughed.
"Yes!" Jiang Qingzhi said seriously.
Tang Shunzhi smiled.
At this time, Chen Ji came and said, "Master, the brothers just found out that Huang Duo went to Cao's house."
"it is good!"
Jiang Qingzhi glanced at Tang Shunzhi, who was completely confused, and said, "The news will arrive tonight."
I don’t believe you... Tang Shunzhi smiled.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Qingzhi came to Cao's house.
The incredibly burly Sun Chonglou climbed over the wall easily. Jiang Qingzhi pointed inside and said to Mo Zhan who was accompanying him, "If we are discovered, remember, no one is allowed to escape. Capture them all."
Mo Zhan nodded slightly in the darkness and gripped the hilt of the knife tightly.
After an unknown amount of time, Sun Chonglou turned over again.
Jiang Qingzhi asked softly: "How?"
Sun Chonglou nodded proudly, as if to say, "Don't you even look at who I am?"
He quietly handed the phone to Jiang Qingzhi.
After returning to the base, Jiang Qingzhi asked Sun Chonglou to guard the door while he put on headphones and turned on his mobile phone.
The recording was very long, and Jiang Qingzhi fast-forwarded all the way to the part where someone was talking.
"...It seems that Jiang Qingzhi learned that the local big families were colluding with the Japanese pirates, so he did this. It's a pity that he made a wasted trip."
Ha ha!
Jiang Qingzhi smiled.
"...The day after tomorrow, when the bad news comes from Songmen, I want to see how embarrassed Jiang Qingzhi is and how angry he gets."
There wasn’t much to say after that, but Jiang Qingzhi still insisted on listening to it.
"Uncle Ding, at least give me a solar panel!" Jiang Qingzhi complained, "Besides, the last time we cleansed the Beijing Guards, it was very beneficial to the country. Where's the reward? Did you run out of power again? Or did the system crash?"
The big cauldron slowly turned, and wisps of glow occasionally scattered in all directions.
"Hey! Say something at least!"
A murderous aura came over him, and Jiang Qingzhi rolled his eyes, "I know, Master Ding, I was wrong, Master Ding!"
The evil spirit dissipated.
Jiang Qingzhi looked at the things in the space and suddenly realized that he had not turned off the phone. He looked at the full battery and said distressedly: "One less time to use it!"
Jiang Qingzhi glanced at the generator and said, "I forgot that this thing can charge mobile phones."
On the afternoon of the second day, Chen Bo brought urgent news.
"Urgent report from Taozhu, Japanese pirates spotted!"
"There are also Japanese pirate ships cruising along the coast of Jiantiao."
All the generals were looking at Jiang Qingzhi.
"Give me another half month, and the Haimen Guards will be able to fight the Japanese pirates in an upright manner. What a pity."
Jiang Qingzhi said with regret, then stood up, "I will take the cavalry to reinforce Taozhu and Jiantiao, Chen Bo will defend Haimenwei, be careful of the Japanese pirates' sneak attacks!"
"Yes, sir!" Chen Bo breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the generals. Everyone did the same.
Before long, more than a thousand cavalrymen gathered.
"set off!"
Inside the window of a nearby house, two men were talking in low voices.
"Jiang Qingzhi has set off."
"Look carefully... it's heading north. Good! Go and report it immediately."
When Cao Jin and Huang Duo heard the news, they couldn't help but clap their hands in celebration.
"Go tell them!"
Huang Duo said: "It is destined that we will make a fortune, hahahaha!"
In the afternoon, Matsuki Yoshiko, who was cruising along the coast, got the news and sneered, "Yuanmu will lead a thousand troops to raid Songmen!"
"Chief, why don't we send out the entire army to attack?" Yuan Mushan asked.
"When Jiang Qingzhi arrives at Taozhu and finds something wrong, he will definitely turn back immediately. What will he do if he learns that Songmen has been attacked?"
There was a fierce look in Matsugi Yoshiko's eyes. "He will rush to Matsumon to rescue him. His troops are tired and I will attack him halfway..."
"Good move!" Everyone couldn't help but praise.
When the Japanese pirates divided their forces and headed for Songmen, Jiang Qingzhi, who had crossed the Jiaojiang River and entered the front post, was having a meal.
After dinner, he took his well-rested subordinates and took a detour upstream.
More than ten ships were docked at the shore.
"Get aboard!"
After crossing the Jiaojiang River again, Jiang Qingzhi led his troops straight to Songmen.
