The second prince said in a little puzzled manner: "Black Armor Army? What is that?"

The national teacher said: "The Black Armored Army was originally a disciple of the Liu family. At that time, the Central Plains Jianghu responded to the call of the court. The major sects sent people to work together to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. However, these Han people were very cunning. Many sects were just second-rate disciples. However, the Liu family was different. At that time, Yang Kai was also in the Liu family. They trained two hundred Liu family disciples, and then used the Liu family's wealth to create a set of black armor for the group of Liu family disciples and brought them to this battlefield. As a result, they made great contributions. They killed more than 400 Japanese pirates in two battles, and they immediately became famous! Now the Black Armored Army is still in Taizhou, but the people who control the Black Armored Army are Liu Zhiqing and Tang Qingyun of the Tang Sect!"

The second prince said: "I didn't expect that the national master would understand this so clearly!"

The national teacher said: "The military strategy of the Central Plains is said to be true. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be defeated in a hundred battles. Although we did not intend to be an enemy of Yang Kai, he was a well-known figure in the Central Plains after all, so he naturally investigated it!"

The second prince said: "So that's the case. According to your estimate, can Yang Kai persuade Qi Jiguang?"

The national teacher said: "Now we can only expect him to speak!"

The national teacher then sent someone to find Zhao Yuan, but how could Zhao Yuan be so easily found by him now? So he simply hid it and avoided it.

As for why, the reason is very simple, it is to let everyone in the city know that Qi Jiguang has broken up with the Jinyiwei group.

In addition, Zhao Yuan also asked someone to announce the news in Taizhou City. The general meaning of this news is that the Jinyiwei was ordered to bring these foreigners to see how General Qi destroyed the Japanese pirates, but Qi Jiguang was unwilling to do so. In this way, the possible reconciliation channels between the two sides were completely blocked.

As a result, the national master and the second prince had no choice. Later, the national master sent someone to deliver the letter, but Qi Jiguang still did not accept the meeting on the excuse of being busy with official duties.

Just as the national teacher planned to go there in person again, chat with Qi Jiguang, drink and get closer to each other, and then see if it can resolve the embarrassing situation in front of him.

But before he arrived at the door, a large group of people ran out directly. The leader was Qi Jiguang. Under his leadership, he quickly headed straight to the barracks.

As a result, the national teacher did not see anyone, so he immediately asked someone to inquire, and the information he had inquired was sent back. The reason why Qi Jiguang left was because he received an order on time to encircle a group of Japanese pirates close to a thousand people.

On the other hand, the Black Armored Army of the Liu family, who had been resting for a long time, also began to gather and then left Taizhou with Qi Jiguang. In this way, only the Jinyiwei was placed in the city.

Forced to the point of helplessness, the national teacher and the second prince found Zhang Sixi, and everyone could only sit down and talk calmly, but the opening was a little awkward and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

"Qi Jiguang took the people away. What are you planning to do now?"

Zhang Sixi looked at the two people in front of him and asked.

The national teacher looked a little solemn. He used to be a bait himself, but he knew that Qi Jiguang would not cooperate at all. If he did not send troops, how could he protect himself?

The national teacher and the second prince dare not joke about their lives. They rashly lure those people out with the protection of their own people. Wouldn't they seek death by themselves?

But when I came, was it just running back in shame?

This also made them feel a little embarrassed. You should know that another purpose this time was to let those people see the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and let them dispel the idea of ​​attacking the Ming Dynasty. However, after these days, Qi Jiguang did not cooperate at all, and was unwilling to bring such a large group of people to watch the battle. Although he had written a memorial to the court, it would take at least ten days for him to send it back, and it would have to be fast.

Could it be that I can only wait here?

For a while, the national teacher was a little undecided. He was undecided, and of course the second prince was even more undecided.

Zhang Sixi looked at them and said, "If you two are not sure about your ideas, what if you don't have an idea?"

The national master immediately said: "Please also please tell me, Lord Zhang."

Zhang Sixi said: "Now General Qi clearly does not intend to cooperate with us, nor does he want to take you to watch the battle. There is a big reason. He thinks we are a burden. When encountering Japanese pirates, they can only escape and have no combat power. So it is probably even more difficult to take you there now, but when I go back in such a shame, my Jinyiwei can't bear the face! Therefore, I thought that we must win a battle and then go back!"

The national teacher said in confusion: "Win a victory, but now we have only more than 200 people in total!"

The national teacher actually understood Zhang Sixi's mood very well. It can be understood only by understanding. If he handed over his own people to him, the number of people was only 200. Moreover, if the people in the fight against Japanese pirates, the Left Sect did not participate at all. Even if his own numbers were one against two, it would be useless.

Zhang Sixi snorted coldly and said, "Does the national master think that I, Mr. Zhang, are the kind of brave but unscheming person? To vent his anger, he will ignore anything?"

The national teacher said: "I don't think so."

Zhang Sixi continued, "If we want to fight the Japanese pirates, we will naturally get soft persimmons. How can we fight with the Japanese pirates head-on? My Jinyiwei is full of spies, and the Japanese officials in the past few days have already known that this situation will definitely happen now, so they sent people to inquire about the news a few days ago. Yesterday, my people sent the news back."

As he said that, Zhang Sixi unfolded a map and said, "Please read it. According to the tip, in two days, a group of Japanese pirates with about 100 people may have to attack a place called Liujiaao. This place is nothing special, the village is not big, and the place is somewhat remote. The most important thing is that the nearest garrison will take at least half a day away from them, and it must be fast!"

The national teacher asked in confusion: "Why did those Japanese pirates go in a small village?"

Zhang Sixi said: "It's very simple, because where is the rich tung oil!"

The national teacher was shocked and said, "Tung oil?"

Tung oil is an excellent dry vegetable oil with fast drying, light specific gravity, good gloss, strong adhesion, heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, anti-corrosion, rust resistance, etc. It is a wide range of uses. It is the main raw material for the manufacture of paint and ink. It is widely used as waterproof, anti-corrosion, anti-rust paint for construction, machinery, weapons, vehicles, ships, fishing gear, electrical appliances, and can also make oil cloth and oil paper.

Tung oil is a tung tree fruit. Tung oil is made by mechanically pressing, processing and refining the picked tung tree fruit. Tung tree is a perennial woody tree that grows in mountainous areas far away from the city. It has strong anti-worm and insects and is very suitable for mountainous planting. As an excellent preservative, tung oil is a must for shipbuilding.

Zhang Sixi said: "That's right, tung oil! The location of this village is very suitable for the growth of tung wood. It originally produced tung oil to supply shipyards. However, with the ban on sea, the tung oil here gradually could not be sold. Although many furniture also needed tung oil, and then consumed very little, so a lot of stockpiles in this village were hoarded. Japanese pirates were originally from the sea and they were extremely dependent on ships, and they had to build ships. This is well-known! The imperial court was very strict in tung oil, so they had to rob it."

The national master nodded and said, "So that's it. Lord Zhang means where can we set up an ambush and wait for the Japanese pirates to fall into the trap?"

Zhang Sixi said: "That's true. The number of Japanese pirates they went to this time is not very large. After all, the village is not prepared for it. The number is about one hundred or less than two hundred. Even if they are two hundred, we can still easily destroy them. This will not only allow you to see our power, but also let General Qi see that we can eliminate Japanese pirates in the capital, and we can also eliminate Japanese pirates here. It depends on our own strength, not just taking advantage of opportunities! I wonder what the national teacher thinks?"

The national master pondered: "I just don't know if the news is accurate."

Zhang Sixi said: "You can rest assured that the news is absolutely accurate. If it is inaccurate, do you think I will tell you?"

The national teacher said: "If this is the case, I don't think there is any problem, but isn't the purpose of our visit this time unable to achieve it?"

His so-called purpose was to lure all the people from the Left Cult and then beat them up!

Zhang Sixi said: "I know what the national teacher means. The so-called plan cannot keep up with the changes. We originally thought that General Qi would cooperate with us well. In this way, we were designing and letting us be used as bait. But now General Qi is not willing to cooperate with us at all. If the national teacher is really the bait, it may be eaten in the end. Would the national teacher plan to sacrifice his life for his country?"

The national master said: "Mr. Zhang is very saying. Now the group of people from the Left Sect have always been watching us. Once we act, they will follow us. They are also having an affair with the Japanese pirates now. Once they tell the Japanese pirates, will our plan be lost?"

Zhang Sixi said, "So we must first avoid the left sect's eyes and ears. We first left by boat. In this way, they did not dare to follow us openly, nor could they determine where we went. Even if they had any conspiracy and tricks and did not figure out where we went, they could not do it! Moreover, the number of Japanese pirates was not large, and we got out immediately after we killed them. Japanese pirates did not dare to come easily if they had reinforcements!"

The national teacher said: "Mr. Zhang's plan is indeed good, but please let us discuss it for a while. How about it?"

Zhang Sixi said: "Of course, this matter is of great importance. Please discuss the weekly period before making a decision!"

After saying this, Zhang Sixi and Zhao Yuan left their residence. After leaving the door, Zhang Sixi asked: "Do you think this news can be leaked?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Whether it can be revealed depends on how they discuss it. We will also observe the appearance now. On the other hand, it depends on Xiaohe!"

Zhang Sixi said, "Are you talking about the person from Zuo Sect?"

Zhao Yuan said: "It was him. If the people from the national tutor leaked the news, then Xiaohe would get the news soon. If he really planned to help us, maybe he would come back to me and tell me the news that the news had been leaked, so let us prepare. If Xiaohe didn't tell me the news, then there were two possibilities. The first is that the national tutor did not leak the news. On the other hand, the news had been leaked, but Xiaohe did not intend to tell us the meaning! No matter which one, we will act according to the original plan!"

Zhang Sixi said: "Why don't we find a way to leak the news?"

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and shook his head, "We are the plan makers. To be precise, we only know the news. If the news is leaked from us, it will be somewhat unbelievable and somewhat unreasonable. It will make people feel that this is a trap."

…………

After Zhao Yuan and Zhang Sixi left, there were only two national masters and the second prince in the room. In order to be cautious, the second prince walked to the door and looked outside. He found that Zhao Yuan and Zhang Sixi had left the yard and said to his subordinates: "Look at this place, no one is allowed to get close."

After saying that, he closed the door and said to the national master: "National Master, what do you think of Zhang Sixi's plan just now?"

The national master frowned and thought for a while, saying, "From the perspective of their Jinyiwei, it is indeed a good plan, but it is not a good thing for us. Our original purpose was to eliminate the left sect, and I am willing to be bait. But now it seems that this plan will not work!"

The second prince also said: "It doesn't work, it doesn't work. There is no way to eliminate the left sect. Then let the left sect continue to harm the Ming sect in the Ming sect. In fact, I thought about it. They created unrest for us, which is not a bad thing for us. Our purpose is to dispel the idea of ​​those people in the country attacking the Ming sect. But on the other hand, if the Ming sect is free one day, it is not difficult to guarantee that they will not attack us. Wherever there are eternal friends between the country, it is all interests!"

The national teacher said: "But if the people who are the left sects are not eliminated, they will always support the prince in the court. With the temperament of an adult, what do you think will happen if he gains power? Let you go? Of course it is impossible. At that time, not only you, but your family, will not escape his evil hands. This is what the imperial family is like!"

The second prince said: "He is my eldest brother after all, so he shouldn't have it?"

“Not it?”
