Dragon Sea Empire

In an earth temple in the south of Yuyao city.The former Ministry of Commerce.Xu Xinsu, Director of the Internal Intelligence Bureau, Zeng Rui, Director of the Domestic Bureau of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and Mai Xiaoliu, Deputy Director.Except for Princess Li Lihua, who is in charge of overseas intelligence.Yin Feng's three major intelligence chiefs gathered here.Within a few hundred steps around.Dozens of brothers from the special battalion are on guard.In the city not far away.There were bursts of gunfire and crying.The flames kept flickering.

years ago.After returning from Jiangnan.Lin Xiao automatically went to Yin Feng.It is required to hand over all the authority of the Business Intelligence Department.

thereafter.Lin Xiao became the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Concurrently served as the Personnel Investigation Department of the Chinese Military Supervision Department.In charge of the internal security work of Yin Feng's various ruling areas.It is also responsible for reviewing internal corruption and malfeasance within the company.He actually withdrew from Yin Feng's powerful circle in charge of secret intelligence.Lin Xiao is Yin Feng's direct descendant.The first batch of veteran shareholders of Zhonghua Company.At this time, he has already achieved fame and wealth.Among the many powerful figures around Yin Feng.Lin Xiao is limited to his own knowledge and ability.It's hard to go any further.He quit the intelligence agencies.It was also the result of Yin Feng's repeated persuasion and hints.

After the Commercial Intelligence Department was formally reorganized into the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly under the Jinghai Palace.The general manager was Xu Xinsu, the former branch manager of the company in Japan.Xu Xinsu is actually not familiar with this line of work.But he was a member of the original Li Dan system.Can become the head of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.In fact, he officially became Yin Feng's confidant.Xu Xinsu understood this very well.So he consulted Yin Feng for all actions.Be very careful in this position of the master.This time he came secretly from Hangzhou.

Zeng Ruigang, director of the domestic bureau of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, just arrived from Taiwan.Mai Xiaoliu came from Chen Zhongji, the Jiangnan chief of the Chinese Army.

The three people have different identities.They are all Yin Feng's confidantes.But Zeng Rui, the youngest, is the most active and active one.

He drew a simple map with grass roots in front of the altar of the Lord of Earth.While selling his idea to the other two people: "... Now that the new army is gone, the land in northern Zhejiang is empty. Luo Qing, the general soldier of Zhejiang, is our hidden stake. Brother Xu and Sixth Brother Mai. The land in northern Zhejiang will be caught off guard. Got it!"

Mai Xiaoliu frowned.Holding a torch in one hand, he drew a circle on the ground with a wooden stick in the other: "...the imperial court has recently increased its troops in Zhenjiang. There is also news that the Ming army has built a large warship in the upstream direction of Anqing. The Jiangnan general may not be able to mobilize enough troops to march North of Zhejiang. Besides, Your Majesty hopes that the war against Ming Dynasty will start after the beginning of spring. The army will go on an expedition across the sea. It will take several months of preparation. At this moment, the Jiangnan side is fighting alone. I am afraid that the hometown side will not be able to provide timely support."

Zeng Rui shook his head again and again: "Sixth brother is too careful. The Jiangnan Ming army basically has no soldiers to fight except for the new army. Once our army comes out, it is easy to capture..."

Mai Xiaoliu also shook his head: "No way. Our army in the south of the Yangtze River is only [-] people. Including the naval fleet, it is less than [-]. Except for protecting important towns and places, there are less than [-] soldiers in the field. Tomorrow The army has hundreds of thousands of troops on the front lines of Nanjing, Anqing, Zhenjiang, and Huzhou. Ants kill elephants. Our army captures every city and area. We have to stay in garrison to maintain law and order. How many soldiers will we have to participate in field battles.”

now.Xu Xinsu also shook his head and said: "This matter is too involved. Your Majesty's general strategy has been decided, and the deployment has been changed in a hurry. I'm afraid... the current mutiny is only within the scope of Yuyao County. The Ming court will not shake the foundation. I don't know about Jiangnan Governor's Mansion." How. How does Manager Chen plan for this mutiny?"

Zeng Rui paused.He said softly: "Director Chen didn't know about this beforehand."

Xu Xinsu and Mai Xiaoliu looked at each other.They exchanged a surprised and suddenly enlightened look.The two of them now understand that although the forces of the Chinese Army and the company have already penetrated into the New Army.But this mutiny was the result of Zeng Rui's domestic bureau operating alone.He did not communicate with Chen Zhongji's Chinese Army Jiangnan in advance.

Xu Xinsu secretly sighed.Because of Zeng Rui's identity.Did not say anything.But Mai Xiaoliu said bluntly: "Brother Zeng, you are too hasty about this matter... The owner of the ship has already said it. The south of the Yangtze River is an important place for money, food and wealth in the world. Don't mess it up..."

Sudden.There was a burst of crackling flintlock fire near the Earth Temple.The three jumped up.Stepping on the fire pile with all hands and feet.They each drew their flintlock pistols.He fell behind the temple gate.

for a moment.A series of brief hand-to-hand fights erupted near the Earth Temple.soon.Several men in black from the third squadron of the special battalion escorted one person into the Earth Temple.

Everyone gathered around to have a look.This person is a man in his thirties.Wearing the livery of Yuyao Tuanlian-New Army.Hair is disheveled.Injured.under interrogation.Only then did everyone know that the mutiny soldiers had controlled the entire city of Yuyao.Under the leadership of more than a dozen Fujian grassroots officers.They ransacked the homes of wealthy businessmen and households in the whole city of Yuyao.

Although some Zhejiang native officers participated in the mutiny.But I don't want to continue fighting.He took his troops out of the city.Or be sent home automatically.Or plan to gather teams and go up the mountain to be bandits.The one caught by the Special Battalion got some gold and silver.Soldiers of the New Army who intend to return to their hometown in Yiwu.

……

Two days after the mutiny.More than 8000 of the more than 20000 mutinied soldiers dispersed automatically.The remaining [-] included the artillery regiments that were the last to participate in the mutiny.After the landlord regiment who swept Yuyao's neighbors and eight townships practiced armed forces.They also defeated thousands of officers and soldiers from Ning Guowei.And encouraged Dinghaiwei officers and soldiers to rebel and raise wages.five days later.The number of soldiers in the eastern Zhejiang rebellion has reached more than [-].With new army soldiers as the main force.This group of rebel troops began to march towards the provincial capital of Hangzhou.

Some Siming Mountain bandits also joined the rebels.Many rebels heard about the prosperity of Hangzhou City.The legend that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Some of the first soldiers to start the mutiny had already made a fortune.The Dinghaiwei rebels and bandits who joined later looked jealous.Therefore, I strongly encouraged to march to Hangzhou.

then.Under the leadership of a group of Fujian military officers and bandit leaders.Twenty thousand rebels marched towards Hangzhou.all the way.The soldiers of the new army could barely maintain the ranks.And other rebellious soldiers and bandits who were coerced or joined on their own initiative had no military discipline at all.They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes along the way.Shaoxing, Xiaoshan and other small counties were easily breached by the rebel artillery.Countless villages were destroyed by a single fire.The smog covering the sky can be clearly seen dozens of miles away.After hearing the news, more than ten thousand rich landlords and businessmen rolled up their bedding and fled westward.They all tried to hide in the city of Hangzhou.

The mutiny soldiers of the new army seized the arsenal of the Ming army in Yuyao city and Ningguowei and Dinghaiwei.Possesses a large amount of gunpowder.therefore.The rebel forces with the new army as the main force quickly defeated the official army in Hangzhou City on the south bank of the Qiantang River.Looted a large number of ships.Smoothly cross the Qiantang River north.Occupied the Six Harmonies Pagoda and several important places along the West Lake line.The soldiers approached the city of Hangzhou.The whole province of Zhejiang was shaken.People all over the south of the Yangtze River panicked.The whole nation of Ming Dynasty was shocked by it.

stop here.The development of the situation has exceeded the expectations of Zeng Rui and others.The mutiny quickly spiraled out of control.The Chinese Army Intelligence Department has lost its influence on the mutiny troops.

Some officers of the new army are hidden stakes and secret operations arranged by the Ministry of Military Intelligence.They took the lead in provoking the riots.And then developed into a mutiny.And now the officers couldn't help it: the mutinies, dazzled by gold and silver, by the blood of the dead, by the power of their weapons.His eyes were red and his blood was boiling.Unprecedented wealth is at hand.Power like never before rests in their hands.Once the lead troublemaker wants to back down.They would rush in and kill him without hesitation.Then re-push a leader that suits your wishes.Follow him to burn and kill... Those who are the main perpetrators are already in trouble.

……

Yu Zigao, who was idle in Hangzhou on the day of the mutiny, is now desperate.

that day.Yan Siqi visited him in a painting boat on the West Lake.The Ming government at this moment.The control of the grassroots of society is basically powerless.Secret agents from the Military Intelligence Department of the Jinghai Prince's Mansion and the Internal Affairs Intelligence Bureau of the China United Corporation are in Hangzhou.Use various commercial halls, shops, banks, and shops as cover.Activities in Hangzhou Sixiali, the capital of Zhejiang Chief Secretary.There is almost no hindrance.With ease.

As soon as Yu Zigao arrived in Hangzhou City.His actions and traces have been completely grasped by the secret agents of the Chinese Army.

As soon as Yan Siqi arrived in Hangzhou.Just under the lead of one's own people.I found Yu Zigao directly.The two were not at odds with each other, tit for tat.In the friendship of classmates.The two sides brewed tea and sat opposite each other in the painting boat.Chat slowly.

Yin Feng and Xu Hongji had instructed Yan Siqi in advance.Ask him to try his best to win over Yu Zigao.Yan Siqi patiently persuaded Yu Zigao: "Your Majesty has already started a course in Taiwan to obtain a scholar. Those who study have the hope of becoming an official. And follow the heart of the Ming court to rest on their own; Your Majesty's main income is business and technicians. Exemption from farmland Thin taxation will reduce the hardships of money and food for farmers. They will naturally be convinced by the king. Mr. Chen Di said: To rule the world is to win the hearts of the people. From God's will. Seizing the world is the trend of the times. You are the king's favorite student. The Ming court has no kindness to you at all. The so-called "the ruler is not upright and the ministers go to foreign countries. The father is not filial and the son goes to another country". Why do you act against the sky. You must against the king."

Yu Zigao sighed.With a wry smile, he said: "Junior Brother Zhenquan. I know the general trend of the world. It is futile to use a mantis as a chariot. But my Yu family has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations. I was also born in the martial arts of this dynasty. Since ancient times, loyal ministers cannot have two masters. Our Yu If Zigao turns to the king as his subordinate, the future history will leave a bad reputation.... I have no intention of fighting against the king's heavenly soldiers. My heart is ashamed... It's like the king's army is approaching the city. I will go boating on the five lakes and get out of this troubled world .”

Yan Siqi did not expect Yu Zigao to be so discouraged.Already planning to retire from the rivers and lakes.For a moment he was speechless.After a while.On the battlefield, the machine becomes flexible and sensitive.Yan Siqi, who is straightforward by nature, raised his head and took a sip of tea.He said bluntly: "Brother Yu. Are you speaking from the bottom of your heart? I think it may be insincere. Do you still want to discuss terms with the king?"

Yu Zigao stopped talking.Drink tea by yourself.

There was a sudden silence in the painting boat.The boat lady Shi Li walked in cleverly.Make tea and water for two people.at this time.A man in black suddenly appeared.Whispered a few words in Yan Siqi's ear.

Yan Siqi's eyes lit up.He raised his head and said to Yu Zigao with a smile: "Brother Yu, it seems that your final negotiation conditions no longer exist."
