At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 151 Letter from Shi Heng
It was almost dusk, and the Yongning Gate was slowly closing.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes, and Gan Ning, a hundred households guarding the city gate, looked from a distance and saw a fast horse galloping across the sand.

He immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Because this is an official horse, and it is the highest-level six-hundred-mile rush.

Entering Beijing at this time, there must be an emergency military situation.

The guards at the bottom of the city stopped closing the city gate and waited for the fast horse to come to the bottom of the city.

Gan Ning asked loudly, "What are you doing?"

Immediately the knight replied: "Jin Yiwei, there is an urgent performance to report to the emperor!"

With that said, he threw his badge over.

Gan Ning checked his badge and found that it was Jin Yiwei, so he raised his hand and let him go.

After the quick horse entered the city, the guard at the gate closed the city gate, and casually said: "Boss, the report is so urgent, it can't be that the south is about to fight again?"

Gan Ning slapped him impatiently and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't!"

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, another hundred households from the Nancheng Bingma Division brought people to handover, Gan Ning went home and changed into casual clothes, and then went to a house in the inner city under the cover of night.

"Master Uncle!"

Opposite him is the Cabinet Grand Master Gaohu.

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

Gan Ning said: "Before the city gate was closed today, a group of Jinyi Guards rushed into the city. It seems...there is an emergency situation in the south."

Gao Hub thought for a while and said, "Don't you have acquaintances in Jinyiwei? Go check it out tomorrow."

Jin Yiwei's report will not pass through the cabinet and six departments, but will be presented directly to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't take the initiative to mention the content, even he, the elder of the cabinet, would not know about it.

Gan Ning asked again: "Why does my uncle have to keep an eye on the report from the south? If something important happens, the emperor will definitely ask uncle to discuss it."

"I won't be able to tell you for a while. In short, you should pay more attention these days. Whether it is the Ministry of War, Jinyiwei, or Dongchang, as long as it is a rush performance, when and who sent it, you have to find a way Find out clearly! Remember, these things must be done secretly, and your intentions must not be discovered by anyone, understand?"

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go first!"

"Wait a moment……"

Gao Zhu seemed to have thought of something, so he said, "The Ministry of War will have a vacant position as a doctor at the end of the year. I've already told you how to do it. When the time comes, I'll just take the position."

Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard the words, Baihu is the sixth rank, and the military doctor is the fifth rank, which is equivalent to being directly promoted by two ranks.

"Thank you uncle!"

…………

In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qizhen was about to go to bed, and Jin Ying came over with a secret letter.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei just sent this, saying it is very urgent!"

Zhu Qizhen took the secret letter, opened it under the oil lamp, and suddenly, his body shook!
This letter was actually sent by Shi Heng!
It has been a whole year since this guy was released, and today there is finally a movement, at least it means that he is not dead yet.

This feeling... It's as if you sent a sentence to the goddess: Have you eaten?
Then after three days, the goddess replied, eat.

Although I don't know what she has been doing these three days, but as long as she replies to you, there is still hope!
Zhu Qizhen picked up the letter and looked at it carefully. The letter described Shi Heng's encounters in the past year in detail.

A year ago, more than [-] people headed by Shi Heng were exiled to Qiongzhou. However, when these people passed through Quanzhou, they took advantage of the unprepared guards and escaped collectively.

Of course, the so-called unprepared guards are all deliberately arranged.

Next, Shi Heng led the people to flee to the vast sea, and by chance, he met three-headed Jiao Shenlang.

Although this Shen Lang is notorious, he is not a Japanese, but an out-and-out Han Chinese.

At that time, this kind of situation was very common. The Japanese pirates consisted of [-]% Han Chinese and [-]% Japanese.

When Shen Lang saw so many people, all fugitives wanted by the imperial court, he was overjoyed, because his family was not the one who was engaged in the promising work of Japanese pirates.In any industry, as long as there are too many employees, there will inevitably be a shortage of resources.

Therefore, the major pirate gangs also began to fight each other. The joining of Shi Heng and others played an important role. In just half a year, Shen Lang became the biggest pirate leader in the sea.

At the same time, Shi Heng also successfully became his most proud deputy, mastered a large amount of core information, and accidentally discovered that Shen Lang had correspondence with many officials of the DPRK and China!
The list of these people is attached to the letter, and there are as many as 39 people.

In addition, Shi Heng also discovered that recently, Shen Lang suddenly changed his normal routine and reached a settlement with other Japanese pirates, as if he was secretly planning a big move.

As for the content of the plan, Shi Heng, as Shen Lang's most proud deputy, still doesn't know about it, which shows the seriousness of it.

However, according to Shi Heng's speculation, if the Japanese pirates make any move, it will be within the last month!

Because Japanese pirates invaded the southeast coast of Daming with a fixed seasonal pattern.

This seasonality is mainly due to the influence of the monsoon. Because the Japanese pirate ships can only sail with the wind, they cannot sail against the wind. When there is a headwind or no wind, they can only sail and scull.

Therefore, when Japanese pirates went ashore to plunder, they could not choose between summer with more southerly winds and winter with more northerly winds, so there were only two seasons left: March, April, and May at the transition of spring and summer, or September and October at the transition of autumn and winter. .

Now is September, if the Japanese pirates make a big move, it must be done within a month!
Zhu Qizhen took the letter and reorganized the events of these days.

The first was the assassination when he returned to Beijing. According to Song Guxi's account, the White Lotus Sect and the Japanese pirates colluded and targeted the [-] people who were working on the river in Huai'an Prefecture, planning to do something big.

This coincided with Shi Heng's investigation results. This time, the target of the Japanese pirates was not the usual landing and looting, but Nanjing City!
During this period of time, through the unannounced visits of Jinyiwei and Jueshengwei, it was discovered that some officials in the court were secretly engaged in smuggling activities, and those engaged in smuggling activities were bound to deal with Japanese pirates.

It can be seen that the Japanese pirates must have eyeliner or a protective umbrella in the court.

He found out the list provided by Jin Yiwei and compared it with the list attached by Shi Heng one by one. The results were roughly the same, which showed that this information was also accurate.

Zhu Qizhen was so angry. In Nanjing, Jinyiwei had found more than 50 officials, large and small, who were directly or indirectly connected with Japanese pirates.

These people are really impatient!
Isn't it good to be an official in Daming, do you have to kill yourself?
He settled down and continued to read. There was still a last paragraph in the letter.

There were only a few words, and the general meaning was that Shen Lang recently went to Nanjing quietly, and seemed to have met some important person.

What is puzzling is that Shen Lang seems to be very respectful towards this person.

This kind of thing is very rare, because Japanese pirates have always looked like they are not afraid of anything, no matter how big an official is, in their eyes, they are just a partner, you give me convenience, I will give you benefits, that's all .

Therefore, Shi Heng thought that the person he met was very important, but he didn't know his identity.
