Ihe Tetsu also shook his head without hesitation, "You failed in the assassination, and you won't have a second chance in a short time. If you want to force the assassination, you will definitely be caught. The internal guards are very powerful. They must I am strictly searching you, that Hu town, I think there are hidden dangers, I suggest you move."

"Don't worry Hu Zhen. I always meet him in restaurants. He doesn't even know my name, but he knows the name of the lord. What's the use of that?"

"It's still useful, at least if you know that the assassin is Japanese, then they will monitor the Japanese chamber of commerce, so you shouldn't come looking for me."

Wu An Qingyuan's expression changed, "Will I be caught by them?"

"You're an unfamiliar face, and they're sure to stare at you."

"so what should I do now?"

Yihe Zhe also took out a bag, "Here is your set of materials. You just came to Jingzhao from Lin'an to do business. You have been to Lin'an!"

Wu An Qingyuan nodded, "And then?"

"Then you go to the inn in front of us to open a room, use the set of identity information I gave you, and then go out to the medicinal material market to inquire about prices. You are a medicinal material merchant, understand? Don't go back to Lintong for the next two days , I will find an opportunity to inform you, and the inner guard's suspicion must be dispelled."

"I understand. Then you think about how to complete the mission. The situation is critical and the lives of 10,000+ soldiers are at stake."

"I will consider!"

Yihezhe also went to the yard and shouted, and one of his subordinates ran over, and Yihezhe also ordered: "This Lord Wu'an just came from Lin'an, arrange a room for him."

"Mr. Wu An please!"

His subordinates took Wu'an Qingyuan to the inn ahead.

……

On the second floor of the restaurant opposite the chamber of commerce, two internal guards watched every move of the chamber of commerce in Japan. They found a stranger entering the chamber of commerce and immediately became vigilant.

The first thousand and 570 chapters and nine ambushes

After listening to his subordinates' report, Zhong Huan asked, "Has the person who just arrived investigated?"

"Reporting to the general, we have checked our internal contacts. The new Japanese is Wu'an Qingyuan. He came from Lin'an to do the medicinal material business. There is a business contract issued by the government of Lin'an."

Foreigners doing business in the Yong Dynasty must have a business contract issued by the local government to purchase goods legally and compliantly. This is mainly to prevent foreigners from buying contraband, such as pig iron. They can be freely bought and sold in the Yong Dynasty, but they are not allowed to sell In foreign countries, in order to prevent foreigners from buying privately, the local government must manage and issue a business contract, which is also a temporary identity certificate for foreigners in the Yong Dynasty.

Zhong Huan didn't intend to pursue the business contract issued by the Lin'an government, so he asked casually, "Are there any other doubts?"

"Suspicious!"

Zhong Huan was startled, and suddenly said angrily: "Since there are doubts, why don't you say it? Why don't you say it if I don't ask you?"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "Reporting to the general, the humble post is meant to be reported, and I dare not hide it."

"What doubts, tell me quickly!"

"This Wu'an Qingyuan didn't bring any luggage, and he didn't have any subordinates. He rode a horse into the chamber of commerce, and then stayed directly at the inn of the chamber of commerce. It gave people the impression that he came from nearby, and he didn't look like he came from afar. .”

Chong Huan also began to doubt, could this be a temporary measure taken by the chamber of commerce in order to cope with the surveillance?

Chong Huan thought for a while and said: "From Lin'an, you must take a boat to Guangyuntan. You go to the mules and horses shop near Guangyuntan to check if there are any horses rented to the Japanese. At the same time, you must monitor him. Keep an eye on it."

"Humble post obeys orders!"

The subordinate saluted and hurried away...

At noon, news came that the mules and horses shop near Guangyuntan had not rented horses to any foreigners.

Of course, this does not immediately determine that there is something wrong with Wu'an Qingyuan. Maybe he came to Jingzhao for a few days before finding the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, news came from the inside line of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce that someone had sent Wu'an Qingyuan's luggage and goods, and they were indeed medicinal materials, so the doubts were eliminated.

At this time, Chengdu Neiwei also sent pigeon letters, and they found several letters from Hu Zhen's family, which mentioned that he was working for the Japanese, which was clear evidence.

Although the Japanese assassinated the emperor, where were they hiding?It's like suddenly disappearing.

Zhong Huan believed that they were lurking in the dark, waiting for the next assassination opportunity like poisonous snakes.

At this time, they must also be patient and wait patiently for the other party to show their feet.

……

The war in Koryo continued. More than [-] Japanese troops surrounded Kaijing and launched a fierce attack on Kaijing day and night. Kaijing had [-] Korean troops defending the city. The two sides fought fiercely and suffered heavy casualties.

Yongjun North Road is still stationed in Pyongyang City, standing still and waiting patiently for the opportunity to send troops.

However, the [-] troops of Yongjun South Road landed in the southeast of Koryo, and the [-] troops rushed to Jincheng.

Prior to this, the Yongjun Navy attacked Tsushima Island, and a fire burned down thousands of turtle ships anchored on Tsushima Island and the grain warehouses on Tsushima Island, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain were burned.

Jincheng was the logistics base of the Japanese army in Goryeo. There were [-] garrisons left behind.

Before Hirai Hiroshi had received the news that the warships of the Yong army attacked the Japanese army's grain convoy, so far he has not received a complete battle report, so he cannot estimate the losses, and he does not know whether the opponent is a harassment attack or a full-scale attack?

Hiroi Hiroshi was really worried. On the one hand, he sent someone to report to the coach, and on the other hand, he sent spies to investigate around.

This morning, Hirai Hiroshi received a report that a Yong Army infantry of about 5000 people was rushing towards Jincheng.

This moved Hirai Hiroshi's heart. This was an opportunity to ambush the enemy. The opponent obviously didn't know that Jincheng had been occupied by the Japanese army, so they only sent [-] troops to seize Jincheng.

He immediately led [-] troops out of the city, ambushed in the woods on both sides of the enemy's official road to Jincheng, and waited patiently for the enemy's arrival.

After about half an hour, I saw a team of 6000 people rushing here from a distance.

Hiroi Hiroshi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready to attack!"

The chief general who led the five thousand Yong army was Tang Qian who was in command of the upper army. How could this old scout who ambush surprise soldiers let himself be surrounded by the enemy? Win by surprise.

That being the case, they can completely create opportunities for the Japanese army to create surprise soldiers.

"Tang Dutong, the enemy should be ambushing in the woods ahead!" A subordinate pointed to the woods three miles ahead.

Tang Qian nodded, and immediately ordered: "The whole army stops!"

The [-] troops stopped their advance and formed a large formation of crossbow troops three miles away.

Hirai Hiroshi was stunned, why did the other party stop?Still in formation, did they find an ambush?

The other Japanese generals also looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what was going on?

Hiroi Hiroshi suddenly had a bad feeling, could this be the enemy's plan to transfer his troops away from Jincheng?

At this time, there was a loud bang in the direction of Jincheng, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the ground trembled slightly. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Jincheng ten miles away, only to see a thick black smoke rising into the sky.

What's this?A question popped up in the hearts of all Japanese soldiers, what kind of weapon is this?

Not long after, a Japanese soldier came to report on horseback, "Report to the general, an army of [-] people attacked Jincheng. They blew up the gate of the city with thunder and rushed into the city. The soldiers defending the city were wiped out!"

Hirai Hiroshi was stunned, "What thunder?"

"Like a powerful weapon of the gods!"

'A weapon of the gods! 'Everyone was shocked.

At this time, Hiroshi Hirai suddenly realized that the other party used 1 people to attack the city, so the 5000 people were a trick.

Suddenly someone pointed three miles away and shouted: "General, the enemy has increased their troops!"

Seeing a dozen miles away, the dust was flying, and I don't know how many enemy troops are coming from behind, Hirai regretted in his heart, he was fooled!

He immediately shouted: "The whole army goes up!"

He led [-] soldiers out of the woods to kill the Yong army, and the overwhelming number of soldiers came to kill the Yong army.

Tang Qian sneered and shouted, "Get ready to shoot the crossbow!"

The 1.4 infantry were both the spear army and the crossbow army. They raised the crossbow together and aimed at the overwhelming Japanese army. The Japanese army was generally short in stature, about 1.5 meters to [-] meters, but the running high speed.

After rushing into the [-]-pace line in a short while, Tang Qian shouted, "Shoot!"

'Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang! '

The sound of clappers sounded, and five thousand heavy arrows were fired at the same time. Almost none of the [-] Japanese soldiers had shields, and they became human targets. In fact, even shields could not stop the heavy arrows from penetrating.

In an instant, a large number of Japanese soldiers were shot down, blood spattered, screams and wails rang out, and almost all soldiers shot by arrows were shot through their bodies and nailed to the ground.

Five thousand soldiers lay on the ground, stepped on the strings, and installed heavy arrows in one go. Immediately after the second round of five thousand arrows were shot, they shot down a large number of enemy troops again.

In an instant, the Japanese army ran from a distance of [-] steps to a distance of [-] steps. After only one hundred steps, they were hit by [-] heavy arrows in three rounds, and nearly [-] Japanese soldiers were shot down.

Hirai Hiroshi saw that the opponent's arrows were too fierce, and if he continued to fight like this, before he could get close to the enemy, his own casualties would be more than half.

Seeing that the opponent's reinforcements had already arrived, he had no choice but to shout, "Evacuate north!"

'when!when!when! The bell rang loudly, and the battle flag of the Japanese army ran northward, and the remaining [-] Japanese soldiers turned around and fled northward together.

Tang Qian said coldly: "Blow the horn!"

"Woo-woo-"

The low-pitched horn blew, and not long after, General Zhang Xian led [-] cavalry galloping forward. The dust was flying, covering the sky and covering the earth.

The soldiers of the Japanese army cried for their fathers and mothers, and were killed until their heads rolled and blood flowed into rivers. Countless soldiers knelt down and surrendered, and their heads were chopped off by swords. The army killed them all.

Chapter 580 Breakthrough

Zhong Huan came to the trade supervisor and made a special trip to visit the trade supervisor Zhang Wan.

The two came to the inner hall, divided the guests and hosts into seats, and there were several officials sitting under each of them.

"This visit to Zhang Jianling is still related to the palace assassin case ten days ago. I want to know about the establishment of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if Zhang Jianling knows about it?"

Zhang Wan nodded, "The Japanese Chamber of Commerce has registered with the Trade Supervision Bureau. It is the same thing as the Persian Association and the Nanyang Association. It is essentially an association of fellow countrymen. It helps each other in difficulties, provides each other with business information, and provides board and lodging. The owner of the association It was Iga Tetsuya, and he also provided the land, mainly for the inn and the internal restaurant."

"I want to know more about this Iga Tetsuya, can Zhang Jianling talk about it in detail?"

Zhang Wan was taken aback and asked, "Could the assassin be Japanese?"

Zhong Huan nodded, "Judging from all the signs we have so far, it is basically certain that it is a Japanese assassin, but the other party is too cunning and hidden too deep, so there is no progress so far, so we can only find a breakthrough from the public Japanese businessman. Iga Tetsu is also the top priority!"

Zhang Wan pondered for a moment and said, "This Iga Tetsu is also very well connected in Japan. When we buy a lot of silver, he is the one who connects with various feudal states. Of course, he has made a lot of money himself."

"What kind of connections does he have, that he can talk to all the vassals?" Zhong Huan asked.

Zhang Wan thought for a while and said, "There is a theory, but I have no evidence, that Iga Tetsu is also an official of the Japanese court, and the various silver-producing vassal states will give him face, or they have to follow his arrangements."

Chong Huan's heart brightened, and he asked anxiously, "Is there any way to confirm that he is a court official?"

An official next to him said: "You can ask other Japanese businessmen, they should know!"

This method is good, Zhong Huan asked with a smile: "Ask which merchant is more suitable, do you have any recommendations?"

The official nodded, "A businessman from Hideo Tanaka, he and Tetsuya Iga deal in similar types of goods, I think he should be more informed!"

"Where can I find this Shu Tanaka?"

"Nandawazi has a store that sells pearls and seashells, and it should be opened by Hideo Tanaka."

Zhong Huan got up and saluted, "Thank you for your help!"

"Where! Where!"

Zhang Wan stood up and replied, "It is our duty to help solve the assassination case and arrest the murderer. General Xiaozhong is too kind."

Zhong Huan took his leave with his men, and then rushed to Nandawazi.

……

Nandawazi is the largest of the four major tiles in Jingzhao. There are hundreds of shops of various kinds, including snacks close to the common people and expensive jewelry and jade.

In the northwest corner of Wazi is a place where all kinds of high-end shops are concentrated. All kinds of silk and satin, jewelry and jade, gold and silver jewelry, etc. are all sold here.

The shop Chong Huan was looking for was called Dongying Zhubei. When Zhong Huan came to the shop alone, a pretty woman came to greet her. She didn't speak Chinese proficiently.

"I want to talk about some business, is your proprietor here?" Zhong Huan asked with a faint smile.

The woman quickly bowed and said: "Guest wait a moment, I will inform you!"

Not long after, a short man came out from the inside, he clasped his fists and said, "Shimo Tanaka Hideo, the owner of this shop, what business do you want to talk about?"

Chong Huan took out a few pearls from his pocket and handed them to him, "Do you accept these pearls?"

Seeing that the pearls are round, the size is like a sparrow's egg, and the luster is very good, this is a good thing, Tanaka Xiu quickly asked: "How much do you want to sell for one?"

"One hundred cents!"

"How much?" Tanaka Hideo was taken aback.

"One hundred yuan a piece, if you want a large quantity, it can be cheaper."

Hideo Tanaka couldn't believe it, how could it be possible that this kind of pearl costs at least [-] guan, while the other party only needs [-]?
