Very big.

In the 13th year of Yongli reign in the Southern Ming Dynasty, a hero of the generation who was still known as the King of Yanping commanded an army, regained the south of the Yangtze River, and confronted the Jurchen dynasty from north to south. After that, he sent his troops northward twice, but suffered repeated defeats and ended in regret.

But the bad thing is that the current emperor of the Jurchen Dynasty has a great-tempered temperament. To put it nicely, he is brave, diligent, and arrogant. To put it badly, he is squandering the accumulation of his father and grandfather, and is willful and self-willed.

He was unwilling to defend against danger, but wanted to take the lead in launching an army to conquer the south, so as to gain a famous name in history and demonstrate his civil and military skills.

It should be noted that since the Jurchens occupied the vast territory in the north, although there have been strong enemies here for many years, they have not slackened their bows and horses, but they have also lost a bit of the fierceness of their ancestors.

Taking millions of people from the north to support hundreds of thousands of Jurchens, in this kind of privileged environment where everyone is superior to others, who can bear the laziness in their bones.

On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, in recent years, they have dredged traffic and published newspapers to publicize, eliminating the signs of extravagance and self-preservation of the previous generation of emperors. The whole country is aiming at the northern expedition. The Jurchen emperor will first launch an army to conquer the south, using his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points, and his morale will be improved.

If one thing goes down and the other goes up, how can it be possible to get a good deal?

Fortunately, there were some important officials in the Jurchen court who could speak in front of the emperor, so they advised him to postpone his actions and secretly send people to contact him, plotting to plot the Jiaozhi land in the south, incite civil strife, and attack the maritime transportation that Ming Dynasty attaches most importance to now.

When the Ming Dynasty is in disarray, a large army will attack the country again, and if the inside and outside are coordinated, great things can be accomplished.

This statement was also what Old Eunuch Chen put out when he contacted Hua Mi and the others. It was clear, reasonable and told the truth, so it was naturally very inspiring.

However, there is still more to say in these words.

According to the considerations of some ministers on the Jurchen side, even if Hua Mi and the others failed to suppress the rebellion this time with heavy troops, as long as the unrest in Jiaozhi can be allowed to last for more than five months, the overseas Red-haired Yi people will

Encourage other forces in Nanyang to take the opportunity to intervene.

Those red-haired ghosts seem to have gotten along well with Ming Dynasty for decades and have formed a relatively stable trading relationship. But that is because between the first year of Jianwu and the twentieth year of Jianwu, the Zheng family was

The fleet who was born into a great pirate was frightened and fearful.

Once those ambitious and greedy red-haired people see a big enough opportunity, they will definitely tear up the so-called trade covenant, intervene in Jiaozhi, and even spy on southern Yunnan.

When it reached that stage of development, the Ming Dynasty was truly eroding from the rear. It was attacked from both sides and full of crises. Only then did the Jurchen Emperor truly have the hope of inheriting the legacy of his ancestors and embezzling the Ming Dynasty in his generation.

With this intention in mind, old eunuch Chen followed Hua Mi to meet that important person with a mysterious identity.

Hua Mi was surrounded by more than ten followers, and old eunuch Chen was also accompanied by the guards he had brought from the Jurchens. Everyone left the hall and walked around, but did not go to the main entrance. Instead, they walked around to the deepest corner of the mansion.

, walked to the inconspicuous small guest room.

Old eunuch Chen was a little confused: "Could it be that that important person has already received the news and is waiting in this room?"

Hua Mi didn't answer, but went directly to open the door. The moment he opened the door, old eunuch Chen knew that he had guessed completely wrong, because there was nothing in this small guest room, not even the floor.

There is only one big hole.

There are stairs in the cave that extend downward to the dark depths underground that cannot be discerned with the naked eye.

Among Hua Mi's entourage, someone lit a torch to lead the way, and everyone stepped into the tunnel.

The tunnel is moist, but it is supported by wooden piles and wooden boards engraved with spells, which will drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants that drill into the soil, keeping the entire tunnel smooth.

The tunnel is also quite wide and can accommodate two people walking side by side at the same time.

Old eunuch Chen was very calm at first, but after walking for two-quarters of an hour, he still hadn't seen the other end of the tunnel, and his face gradually became uncontrollable, showing a look of surprise.

Hua Mi walked in front without looking back, as if he knew his emotional changes, and said at the right time: "This tunnel is seven miles long. It leads directly from me to a villa of that important person. It will take about another one to walk."

Rideau.”

Old eunuch Chen doubted: "With the support of magic spells, and some Feng Shui magicians, it is not uncommon to explore underground tunnels with soft soil and rocks for seven or eight miles. But a few months ago, there was a big event in Chengyin Mansion.

After an earthquake, this tunnel can still remain intact?"

Hua Mi said: "Because this was dug after the earthquake. To be precise, I sent fifty men to complete it in one day."

Old eunuch Chen was slightly shocked: "Fifty people, in one day, dug a tunnel that is seven miles long and so wide?!"

"That's right. The Ming Dynasty has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Jiaozhi. With my little brother's management in Qinghua Prefecture, he may be able to take advantage of the chaos and seize the moment. How can he really withstand the counterattack of the Ming army until he can respond to the Jurchens?

when?"

Hua Mi looked back at Old Eunuch Chen, with a hint of sneer in his voice, which made Old Eunuch Chen feel a little bit seen through, but his face was calm and he just listened quietly.

"That man was very worried that we were not strong enough, so I sent these fifty people to dig this tunnel and show it to him. And for warriors like this, we have five hundred people, digging the ground with bare hands, walking several miles a day,

Carrying a heavy weight and being invulnerable, this is the confidence of our alliance with Eunuch Chen."

Mrs. Chen's monitored heartbeat was a little faster.

If there were such five hundred warriors, placed on the battlefield, they would probably be able to withstand an army of tens of thousands, and the effect of a surprise attack would even be better than an army of ten thousand people.

Speaking of which, regarding the Jurchens, I had underestimated these people before.

However, there is also a big doubt in this. This level of elites, whether it is the Jurchen Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, is probably not easy to gather.

Can people like Hua Mi really have such a background?

"Is Eunuch Chen doubtful?"

"Haha, how could I not believe what the big boss said? The stronger our allies are, the more delighted I am."

"You don't mean what you say. On the Hungry Ghost Festival, you will understand."

Hanaya walked forward slowly, showing indescribable ambition and confidence.

Therefore, since the fake Taoist priest who has been tested and found out is just a martial artist and not a great mage sent by Wudang to provide the last guarantee, it is not worth paying attention to at all.

How could he, by himself, contend against five hundred masters who were equivalent to great boxers?!
