The simple map was spread on the square table, and Qian Yuan kept holding his pen and making various marks on the map. Sitting beside him were Sun Kehong, Chen Xingping, Gui Youguang, and the man who agreed with Qian Yuan a while ago. This was a middle-aged man with a low figure but extremely thin appearance.

County Magistrate Hu and Lu Bin were all busy preparing for martial law outside, and the city was now in chaos.

"This is Jiaxing Prefecture, guarded by Lu Tong."

"This is Chuansha, Yu Dayou guards."

Qian Yuan took the brush and pointed at the map, "No matter which side loses or misses a large number of Japanese pirates, they will inform Taicang, where did this Japanese pirates come from?"

Speaking of which, there are many places where you can land on the coast of Songjiang, but there are not many places to choose from for a large number of Japanese pirates landing, and it is impossible for them to be unable to reveal any information. Japanese pirates cannot be compared with the army.

"And Taicang has two garrisons, with strong troops, while Songjiang Prefecture has only one Jinshan Guard, and Kunshan is even more... why should we attack Taicang?"

Qian Yuan stared at the map in confusion, and the middle-aged man next to him smiled and said the answer, "Liu Jiawan."

"Liujiawan?" Qian Yuan slapped the table and suddenly stood there again, "No, the county magistrate said just now that there are three inspection departments in Liujiawan, and a city has been built, with 500 soldiers guarding Suzhou guards."

"There is no other possibility except Liujiawan." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The current guard soldiers..."

Liujiawan was not famous in later generations, but it was famous in the Ming Dynasty because the eunuchs of the Three Treasures set out from here for seven voyages to the West.

Therefore, the strongest defense force in the coastal areas near Songjiang is Liujiawan, which is why Qian Yuan did not expect.

After quieting for a while, Sun Kehong asked in a low voice: "Will the Japanese pirates attack Jiading?"

"It's better to attack." Gui Youguang said in a muffled voice: "Otherwise, the Japanese pirates will scatter and rob, and the entire Taicang will suffer."

Speaking of this, Gui Youguang glared at his disciple Chen Xingping, who shrank his head and said nothing.

“Not only that.”

“Not only that!”

The two voices sounded at the same time, and Qian Yuan and the middle-aged man looked at each other, and the latter made a gesture of inviting him.

"If it were me, I wouldn't have attacked Taicang, but went south, Yu Dayou was attacked from both sides, and the entire Songjiang Prefecture would be allowed to hang out." Qian Yuan licked his lips, "And Huating and Shanghai counties... are much richer than Taicang Prefecture."

"So we are unlucky when the Japanese pirates attack Jiading, but others may not think so."

The middle-aged man looked at Qian Yuan with great interest, looked down at the map, nodding in agreement, "After all, it's a gang, and it's the closest to Taicangzhou. Japanese pirates will not chew on Yu Dayou's tough bones."

"That's right." Qian Yuan murmured: "Then the Japanese pirates are siegeing the city."

The middle-aged man said again: "You are Qian Zheng's nephew Qian Yuan, I have heard of your name."

Ignoring Gui Youguang's humming beside him, the middle-aged man continued, "It seems that you really want to join Fangsi in the future."

Qian Yuan blinked. This was what Wang Jun joked with Yuki in the governor's yamen.

"Wang Min should be promoted to the north and received praise from the court, but Tan Zili was jumping and cursing." The middle-aged man laughed and said, "But you should be scolded too!"

Not to mention Gui Youguang, Chen Xingping was a little confused, even Qian Yuan was a little confused, only Sun Kehong was smiling bitterly.

"Poor Brother Yuan is going to be scolded when he goes back." Sun Kehong shook his head and said, "Turn your elbows out!"

"Tan Zili is the Huang Tan family." The middle-aged man said.

"That's me..." Qian Yuan stuttered.

"That's your uncle next door." Sun Kehong gave the answer.

How come Tan Lun, who is as famous as Qi Jiguang, is my uncle?

In other words, the idea I gave to Wang Jun briefly maintained the Ming army and Japanese pirates in Songjiang and Jiaxing, but they cheated their uncle?

Qian Yuan covered his head and felt a headache again. No wonder Wang Jun agreed so happily!

After a moment of silence, Qian Yuan's eyes fell on the middle-aged man's face, "Have you asked for advice yet?"

Gui Youguang coughed twice, "This is Zheng Ruozeng and Zheng Bolu, a scholar in Yiwei, and is also from Kunshan."

"That was the 14th year of Jiajing, Senior Zheng..." Qian Yuan suddenly froze in the middle of salute, "Zheng Ruozeng..."

"Brother Yuan." Sun Kehong whispered, it would be very rude to call him by his name in front of others.

Qian Yuan suddenly woke up and bowed with a smile: "Senior Zheng, it's all up to you to defend the city this time."

Qian Yuan has never been a brave person, but at a critical moment, he never shirked responsibility. Now, except Lu Bin, he does not trust anyone in the city. In fact, he can only trust Lu Bin, because except for his subordinate Yang Wen and a group of fighters led by Zhang San, other soldiers are under Lu Bin's command.

But Qian Yuan can trust Zheng Ruozeng.

The reason is very simple. This person is very awesome. He was one of the most outstanding military strategists in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but because he did not have a direct leadership or formal official position, he became unfamous.

Later generations believed that the "Chouhaitu Bian" written by Hu Zongxian was considered to be an existence that no one could surpass in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In fact, this was Zheng Ruozeng's masterpiece.

Zheng Ruo once had an extremely important position in the southeast fight against the Japanese. Hu Zongxian's shogunate was full of talents, such as Xu Wei and He Xinyin, who were famous all over the world, but Zheng Ruozeng was the most critical person, and he was also called the "common military strategist" by later generations.

After a few greetings, Shen Xingping, who was unwilling to be lonely, raised the topic that everyone was most concerned about, "Will the Japanese pirates really attack Jiading?"

"The possibility is very high." Zheng Ruo once sighed: "If it is plundering the countryside, it is better to go south to Shanghai and Huating counties."

At this time, Qian Yuan, who saw Yang Wen waving outside, suddenly stood up and went out.

"How about it?"

"It's them." Yang Wen whispered: "Lu Ba sent someone to see it. What we sold was the batch of medicinal materials we were robbed, and it was also..."

Qian Yuan narrowed his eyes and took the jade pendant, rubbed it for a few times and said, "Did you find it in the pawnshop?"

"Yeah." Yang Wen hesitated for a while and then said, "I think they are afraid..."

"I know." Qian Yuan sneered: "It's really true that there is a way in heaven and you don't go, but you just bump into it!"

He waved Yang Wen to prepare, Qian Yuan stepped into the house, "No need to think about it, the Japanese pirates will definitely attack Jiading."

"Why?"

What do you know when the Japanese pirates will take action? Now you need to race against time!

Ignoring Shen Xingping's question, Qian Yuan pulled Sun Kehong away, and when he took action in Jiading County, he would definitely not be able to avoid the host, and the Sun family could move the county magistrate Hu.

"The headmaster is your surname?"

"I dare not, I dare not." The short-sized man held a long knife and looked inappropriate, "Young Master called me Lao Wu."

"Okay, okay, Old Wu." Qian Yuan ignored the strange eyes of the county magistrate and Sun Kehong, hugged Captain Wu and smiled: "Local people?"

"Yes, I have been in Jiading County for seven or eight generations."

"Yes, the headmaster, if you are not a local, how can you stand firm?" Qian Yuan asked with a smile again: "Are you afraid?"

"It is the duty to fight against the Japanese." Captain Wu said very quickly, but his legs were a little trembling. The county master sent someone out of the city to find out the news, but he shuddered several times...

"Hey, who is not afraid, but there is no way. Your parents, wife and children are behind you." Qian Yuan waved his hand, "By the way, Lao Wu, do you have any...sweat medicine on your hand?"

Captain Wu was stunned and said something about sweating pills at this time...

"There are always anesthetics, right?" Qian Yuan frowned and said, "Don't tell me if you use the kind used to shoot the flower seeds!"

Captain Wu glanced at the county magistrate and asked with a wry smile: "Young Master, is this..."

"City South Inn." Qian Yuan waved his hand and called Yang Wen, "You lead the way, be careful."

Yang Wen, who had finally borrowed a spear and a waist knife from Lu Bin, was a little speechless. Master, this is a bit shameless.
