Liu Zhiqing was already thinking very clearly at this moment!

I did fall in love with Zhao Yuan before, but now he is his brother-in-law. The relationship between him and him cannot have any result, and I cannot be sorry for my sister. On the other hand, after taking over the Black Armored Army, he has always been by my side. How to train and fight, no matter how dangerous he is, he will never leave him.

How could I not know about his feelings?

But before, I still had that hurdle in my heart and couldn't get over it. That feeling made me feel guilty.

But just now, when he saw Tang Qingyun discovering that he was fine and was as happy as a child, Liu Zhiqing suddenly felt relieved. The past was over. The most important thing is to cherish the person in front of him.

Liu Zhiqing, who figured this out, suddenly felt enlightened and found that she had always been very happy. Someone was by her side caring for herself, taking care of herself, and never leaving her.

If you meet such a person, what else can you ask for?

So Liu Zhiqing decided on one thing, that is, to get married!

If you don’t marry anyone, you will marry Tang Qingyun and marry someone who loves you.

Cang Wushuang hurried to the rice shop as Wu Yan said, and the rice shop was empty at this moment. When they knew that Liu Zhiqing had rescued him, they felt that this place was no longer safe, so they simply left.

Cang Wushuang had to rush to the air when she left, and finally went to find Zhao Yuan, and then returned to her residence to rest. After such trouble, it was already midnight.

As soon as the next day was dawn, Qi Jiguang sent someone to find Zhao Yuan. Liu Zhiqing found it, but he wanted to know another thing, what did those national masters and the second prince come here for?

In Qi Jiguang's eyes, they are just here to cause trouble. You must know that this place is already chaos. Although the Japanese pirates have been severely suppressed during this period, they are like a stubborn disease and cannot be completely solved in a short time.

Isn’t it a big deal to come here at this time? The most important thing is that they are actually planning to watch the battle on site!

Who can tell the truth about the war? Moreover, the situation at the scene is ever-changing. Just now, victory is still in sight. Maybe in a moment, the situation will fall one side and not be embarrassed to lose. If you leave the names of these foreign masters here, how can you explain it to me? Wouldn't that cause disputes between the two countries?

Thinking of this, Qi Jiguang became furious.

This matter must be coordinated by Qi Jiguang. Therefore, Zhao Yuan went straight to the military camp without saying a word. As soon as he saw it, Qi Jiguang said, "I'm saying you are too idle?"

Zhao Yuan said: "General, what does this mean?"

Qi Jiguang said: "If you are not idle, why did you bring that group of people to me?"

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "The general doesn't know anything. Of course, there is a reason for them to come. And there is one thing that needs to be helped by the general."

Qi Jiguang said: "How could this general be related to them?"

Zhao Yuan said: "It's better to say as we walk, how?"

Qi Jiguang nodded and walked slowly in the barracks with him. At this moment, the soldiers had already started training.

After walking out a piece, Qi Jiguang said: "What's going on? You can explain it to me now, right?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Actually, they are bait!"

Qi Jiguang said in surprise: "Bait? How do you say this?"

Zhao Yuan then told the whole story in detail. Qi Jiguang nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "So that's the case. I'll say, how could the court agree to his request!"

Zhao Yuan said: "The war is still tight now?"

Qi Jiguang couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Japanese pirates are like flies, they will run away if they snatch them. Many times we can only defend passively and cannot take the initiative."

This is a problem that the Ming army has always faced. The Japanese pirates are maneuvering and flexible, and they pay attention to avoiding the important points. If you have too many people, they will not fight. They will only pick places with fewer people. After the Ming army received the news, others would have fled long ago, and there were no people there. In this way, the Ming army could only keep running, but the results were very unsatisfactory. It felt like using cannons to hit mosquitoes.

Zhao Yuan naturally understood this point. The most important thing was that the front line was too long and the Japanese pirates were too scattered. It felt like you were fighting against the guerrillas.

Originally, if I encountered guerrillas on land, I could go step by step and gradually advance. However, there was no way to establish a stronghold at sea, so it was particularly uncomfortable for the Ming army to fight!

At first, the Japanese pirates were still a little inflated, and sometimes they were confronting the Ming army head-on, but later they seemed to find that they were no match for the Ming army at all, especially the Qi family army. With their combat effectiveness, they could not win at all, and there were heavy casualties. So they simply changed their methods and were still fighting the guerrilla warfare in the past. Faced with this situation, the Ming army also changed their combat methods, tried to defend those important cities and deploy defenses along the coast. Although it did stop the Japanese pirates, the Ming army itself consumed too much. The other key is that you don’t know when the Japanese pirates will attack. Moreover, the Japanese pirates have their own way to fight with more and less. For example, if you station five hundred people here, they will come with one thousand people, and if you station one thousand people, they will come with two thousand people, and so on.

This still makes the Ming army particularly passive.

Zhao Yuan understood the difficulties Qi Jiguang was facing now and said, "In fact, the best way is to vigorously develop the navy! Only by developing the navy can we advance the sea on the battlefield, and then find their strongholds and other places to defeat them one by one. Without strongholds, it is impossible for the Japanese pirates to go out to sea rashly, without supplies or food. Most of their ships were starved to death before they arrived on our coast."

Qi Jiguang said: "We also submitted a memorial to the court to prepare for the navy, and then it was quickly rejected, saying that the rules set by the previous emperor could be changed at will? So although there are also some now, then there are very few."

Qi Jiguang was also very helpless about this. The military officers were fighting, but they decided to decide which military officers were practicing. Those civil servants lived in the temple one by one, rested on their own day, and held on to the outdated ideas of their ancestors. Anyway, they were not their own people who died.

How can a group of civil servants ensure the victory of military officers?

For the Ming Dynasty, perhaps the most failed policy of the entire dynasty was to ban the sea. This not only gave up the vast sea to others, but also caused the entire problem of Japanese pirates entangled in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

In fact, the main component of Japanese pirates is those merchants who rely on the sea to trade. If they open seas and trade the seas, the problem of Japanese pirates will naturally be solved.

Zhao Yuan's heart moved slightly and said, "I think you, Lord Qi, can write a memorial, maybe you have a chance this time!"

Qi Jiguang said in confusion: "Just write a memorial now?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I can't guarantee it, but it's at least better than before. However, in the comments, you want the Japanese pirates to sneak into the capital, endangering the lives of officials at all levels in the court. The reason is that we have a long coastline, and there are so many places where Japanese pirates can land. They can't defend with their troops alone. In order to ensure that the Japanese pirates no longer sneak in secret, the best way is to vigorously develop navy and other things. I don't know how to write this comment! General Qi has to consider it!"

Qi Jiguang said: "You mean that you attribute the invasion of the Japanese pirates in the capital to the fact that we do not have enough navy troops, cannot establish directions on the sea, and can only defend passively, so the Japanese pirates took advantage of the loophole?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "It is precisely this truth. It was also accidental for us to discover the Japanese pirates this time. In fact, dozens of Japanese pirates lived in the house next to Lord Yan's mansion. They didn't notice it at all. If these Japanese pirates were not discovered, few civil and military officials in the court could live safely and safely, which was related to their own lives. They might not be able to explain clearly if they were a little different from before."

In fact, the Japanese pirates in the capital were mixed up, and the imperial court also sent a memorial to scold Hu Zongxian for being unfavorable to encircle and suppress him.

Qi Jiguang felt aroused when he heard this and said, "You can't say it, this is really a good idea. I will immediately write to Lord Hu and ask him to write to the court."

Speaking of this, he sighed a little, "I didn't expect that it was still your head's bright light!"

Zhao Yuan said: "I suddenly rang out. The main reason why the adults in the court held the things they used to hold were actually that they did not threaten them. The Japanese pirates made such a fuss in the capital may not be a bad thing."

Qi Jiguang was very happy now and said, "This is the so-called blessing of losing one's wife! Now that those people are here, how do we need to cooperate? Then fight a good victory and then join hands together. Isn't this even more effective?"

The originally depressed mood seemed to be swept away at this moment.

Zhao Yuan said: "This specific action plan has not been determined yet, but I think it is natural that I should act in a play!"

Qi Jiguang said in confusion: "Acting? Why is this?"

Zhao Yuan said: "The spies without Japanese pirates cannot be ruled out in this army, so we must give them a chance to attack. According to my idea, it is necessary to create a General Qi quarrel with us, and then the Jinyiwei looked down on the Japanese pirates. After all, when he was in the capital, the Jinyiwei beat the Japanese pirates so hard that they could not fight back, and then privately took the Second Prince and the National Army to attack a small stronghold for Japanese pirates."

When Qi Jiguang heard Zhao Yuan’s plan, he said, “What you mean is that you must give the enemy an illusion? Only then can you lead the enemy to the bait?”

Zhao Yuan said: "That's true, and this plan is only known to you, me and Lord Zhang. I will return this matter and give it to Lord Zhang. If possible, maybe we will have a dispute tomorrow. The first thing that causes the trouble is the Second Prince's people causing trouble in Taizhou."

Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I don't think there is any problem. To deceive the enemy, you have to deceive your own people first."

With Qi Jiguang's permission, Zhao Yuan immediately went back to find Zhang Sixi and reported the matter to him. Zhang Sixi frowned and thought for a while, saying, "Although I think your plan is pretty good, the commander's instructions have not been brought down now. Will this be too abrupt?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I don't think that I can do these things in advance to create a disagreement between Jinyiwei and Lord Qi. Even if it is a little different from the plan of the commander in the end, it will not have any impact. Instead, it will make people feel real and credible."

This is actually the case in the court. On the surface, everyone is harmonious, but in fact there are countless intrigues. Those who bowed their heads and bowed in front of you before might be stabbing the knife in the back.

As the Jinyiwei, Zhang Sixi had a deeper understanding of this. He thought about it after hearing this and said, "I am considering this matter. After all, it is important and you can't do it in a hasty way."

Zhang Sixi felt that Zhao Yuan's plan was still credible. Only by letting the Jinyiwei break up with the defenders here can we create the illusion that the Jinyiwei took the Second Prince and the National Army to encircle and suppress a small Japanese pirate stronghold without Qi Jiguang's men and horse escort, and can we attract the left scholars to collude with the Japanese pirates and set up ambush on or around that small stronghold.

Zhao Yuan also knew that this matter would never be so easy and agreed to it, and he did not object.

After leaving here, Zhao Yuan returned to his residence and found Cang Wushuang was absent. After asking, he found out that Liu Zhiqing ran over early in the morning and took Cang Wushuang to go shopping. This made Zhao Yuan have some questions, why did the relationship between the two have become so good?

So he was only staying at home. Not long after, Tang Qingyun sent someone to come and ask Zhao Yuan to go to drink. Zhao Yuan was worried about how to solve the lunch, so he went straight to Tang Qingyun and Liu Zhiqing's residence. As soon as he entered the door, Tang Qingyun came up and pulled Zhao Yuan straight to the house. In the house, there was already a table of wine and food. Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "What day is it today, how many dishes are you making?"

Tang Qingyun smiled and stuffed a jar of wine into Zhao Yuan's hand, and said with a smile: "I am happy today. How can I drink with you without anyone accompanying me? So I'll bring you here and be happy with me!"

Zhao Yuan said strangely: "What's so happy about? Let's listen? Let me be happy."

Tang Qingyun lowered his voice and said, "Zhiqing agreed."

Zhao Yuan said: "What did you agree to?"

Tang Qingyun said: "What did you say you promised? You are all here, do you still need me to say more?"

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Has she promised to marry you?"

Tang Qingyun nodded and said, "Yes, I agree. She asked me to propose marriage. I have ordered people to return to the Tang Sect immediately, prepare for the betrothal gift, and choose a zodiac auspicious day to go to the Liu family to give the betrothal gift!"
