"Your Majesty!" Xiong Tingbi, who was far away in Liaodong, knelt on the ground, leaning up to the sky, and tears were filled with tears, "The sky has eyes! I hope Your Majesty's dragon body will recover soon!"

Xiong Tingbi was really sad. He offended almost all the officials of the Ming Dynasty court. The only one who could protect him was Emperor Wanli! Many of the memorials that impeached Xiong Tingbi were detained by Wanli and kept for the last minute. It was precisely because of Emperor Wanli's efforts to protect that Xiong Tingbi could have made great efforts in Liaodong. If Wanli had not been protecting Lao Xiong, Lao Xiong would have long since lost his black hat and even lost his life! Now the Emperor Wanli, who was the most protective of himself, fell ill, which made Xiong Tingbi not sad.

Zhang Yongzheng, from the capital, was working with his unscrupulous uncle Jiu Qiansui, and was nervously planning to conspire to deal with the upright and kind Donglin Qunxian. Xu Xianchun, who guarded the palace gate, was Gao Shixin's good brother and Zhang Yong's good brother. With Xu Xianchun's help, the guards in the palace were strengthened, and prepared for the funeral of Wanli and Taichang after the continuous death of Wanli and Taichang, as well as how to quickly frame Donglin Qunxian after the little carpenter ascended the throne.

"Yongwazi, you have close contact with the Jinyiwei. What are you doing these things?" Jiu Qiansui asked in confusion.

Zhang Yong replied: "Uncle, we have to prepare early! All the ministers in the court know that we are loyal to the emperor and the younger master. This is to oppose the ministers in the court! Especially we are protecting Xiong Jingluo! These things offend the ministers in the court! If we don't prepare early, after His Majesty's death, the Donglin Party will take power, we will not have a good end!"

Jiu Qiansui was scared and sweated: "Yongwazi, your decision is right. But we are internal officials and we secretly collude with external ministers. Once the matter is exposed, you and I will die without a place to bury you and I!"

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm responsible for doing things and will not let the ministers in the court catch the handle!" Zhang Yong replied.

Jiu Qiansui nodded slightly, feeling relieved about his clever nephew's ability. It is indeed time to prepare for it. The people of the Donglin Party and their internal officials dislike each other.

With the help of Xu Xianchun and several ministers who were in power, Zhang Yong's secret actions were in a intensive layout. While making arrangements in the palace, Zhang Yong also secretly contacted Ying Zhen, the chief minister of the Zhejiang Party Cabinet in the court, the Shaoqing Guan Yingzhen of the Chu Party Dali Temple, and Zhou Yongchun, the governor of the Qi Party Liaodong who returned from Liaodong, and others.

Of course, Zhang Yong would not come forward in person. How could those imperial officials believe him as a child? With the ready-made Eunuch Wei Jiuqiu, it is the best choice to handle this matter with Jiuqiu.

Of course, Zhang Yong's preparations were not for the month when Zhu Changluo was reigned, but for the preparations made by the little carpenter when he ascended the throne after Emperor Zhu Changluo's death in January. The little carpenter was controlled by the Donglin Party with the case of the palace transfer. It was not until the fourth year of the Tianqi period, when Wei Zhongxian grew stronger, that he had escaped from the control of the Donglin Party. All Zhang Yong had to do now was to prevent the little carpenter from being controlled by the Donglin Party and let Jiu Qiansui exert his power in advance.

Now, Gao Shixin, who is far away in Fujian, is useless to worry about Xiong Tingbi. Even if others are in the capital, can he protect Lao Xiong from being forced out of Liaodong? As long as Emperor Taichang is in power, it will not be a matter that he, a small Jinyiwei Qianjia, can control. This kind of thing can only be done by Zhang Yong. It is useless to rely on how to arrange it in Gao Shixin when he is anxious.

There are four months left before the death of Wanli and five months left before the death of Taichang. Gao Shixin is nervous to calculate the time that he will return to the capital before the death of Emperor Taichang.

Cai Jiuyi was really punctual. Twenty days later, he returned to Quanzhou with a strong monk, a little Taoist priest, a strong young man and more than a dozen little novice monks.

"What's your name?" Gao Shixin first asked the young monk who was very young, only fourteen or five years old, but very strong.

"Amitabha," said the young monk, "Like Brother Cai, I was expelled from the sect, with my surname Wu and my name was Liuqi!"

"Wu Liuqi?" Gao Shixin was overjoyed. This is another good general!

Then he asked the Taoist priest who looked about sixteen and seven years old: "What's your name?"

The little Taoist priest replied: "Fu Shan, whose courtesy name is Qingyu."

This person, Gao Shixin found the information in his mind, and seemed to have no impression of it. In fact, the information was not so complete. This person was also an important general who later rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. He was a Taoist priest who was both civil and military. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he had a good relationship with Gu Yanwu and others and fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty all his life.

He asked the strong young man again and replied: "The surname is Ji, and his name is Jike."

Another person who Gao Shixin didn't know. In fact, Ji Ji was also a famous general who later rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.

The more than ten little novice monks were brought out from the temple by Cai Jiuyi.

"That's great. Our Jinyiwei's spies stationed in Quanzhou have been built. Do you know how to track, spy, and monitor?" Gao Shixin asked.

After multiple martial arts tests, it was found that these people were indeed masters. On the battlefield of face-to-face confrontation, martial arts masters may be useless. Head-on combat relies on infantry formations, cavalry impacts, and cold weapons such as bows and crossbows and firearms. No matter how high the martial arts are, they cannot compete with the army, but these people are the best agent seedlings.

Of course, these people don’t understand the skills of agents, but they are all smart people. Gao Shixin believes that as long as he teaches them briefly for a period of time, he will learn a series of skills of the Jinyiwei Spy.

Gao Shixin rented a yard in Quanzhou Prefecture, arranged for these newly-designed younger brothers to move in and conduct spy training on them, such as lurking spy, disguising, tracking, and developing members. After half a month of training, Gao Shixin selected the most skilled Cai Jiuyi, Wu Liuqi, Fu Shan, Ji Jike and other four people followed him to get into Kinmen together, while the remaining more than ten people stayed in Quanzhou.

How to climb Kinmen Island has been investigated clearly. As long as you go to Jinjiang to find Yang Tiansheng and tell him that he is a refugee who fled and wants to join the Brotherhood, you can climb Kinmen Island.

Gao Shixin, who disguised as a refugee, brought four little brothers disguised as beggars to Jinjiang. After some inquiries, he found a local den where Yang Tiansheng was.

This is a typical three-entrance courtyard with red bricks, red tiles and white stones. The lower half of the wall is white, the upper half is bright red, and the roof is a dovetail ridge. There are two stone lions outside the gate. The door is open, and there are many people lined up outside. More than a dozen pirates carrying muskets, holding harpoons, spears, and waist knives on their waists are responsible for maintaining order. Above the gate, there are two horizontal plaques with words "Yangzhai".

"This recruitment of pirates is too blatant, right?" Wu Liuqi murmured in a low voice.

"The government basically doesn't care about the seaside. If the goods sold overseas in Fujian have to rely on these pirates, naturally no one will care about them. In fact, these pirates are also half bandits and half merchants." Gao Shixin replied in a low voice.

Five people followed the refugees. The queue was very long, in Fujian, where there were seven mountains and two rivers and one land, and the population was quite large and the land was barren. If you only rely on farmland, you would not be able to support so many people.

Fujian was not a wealthy coastal province, but a poor place. Many farmers could not support themselves and their families, so they could only become pirates, or sign up for a living in the South China Sea. Some of the people in the queue in front signed up for a living, while some were preparing to go to South China Sea to make a living.

Gao Shixin and others lined up all day, and they didn't line up until it was almost dark.

"What's your name? Are you planning to go to Southeast Asia to make a living, or go to Kinmen Island to join the Brothers Alliance? Can you swim?" A man with a butler looked at Gao Shixin and asked.
