Daming pirates

The coast of Fujian, which had been calm for only a few months, once again set off a violent wave at the end of May. Fleets of sea wolves suddenly appeared again along the coast of Fujian, although this time they did not

A large-scale attack on the shore, but they still chose a few places. They went ashore and knocked down the houses of several gentry outside the city who were against the sea wolf. The farthest ones even penetrated nearly a hundred miles into the land. The places they passed were as follows

It's like entering a deserted place.

Fujian's officers and soldiers on the coast were now very concerned about the name of Sea Wolf. When they heard that Sea Wolf had once again started to be active on the beach, they did not immediately rush to the scene of the accident after hearing the news. Instead, they immediately gathered their troops and retreated to the defense.

In the city or barracks, a turtle shrank its neck and turned a blind eye to the sea wolf's activities.

And this time, Sea Wolf did not take the initiative to attack these officers and soldiers. As long as the officers and soldiers did not have a blind eye and came to trouble them, they would just do what they should do, just like cracking walnuts, and knock some of them out with Sea Wolf.

The enemy gentry's village fortress was broken open, and after a massive raid, they retreated to the sea.

This is not too much. What is even more outrageous is that the Sea Wolf fleet actually hoisted the Sea Wolf flag and appeared again in Jinjiang Estuary, Meizhou Bay, and even in the Minjiang Estuary area.

Some warships flying the Sea Wolf flag actually broke into these forbidden areas in a big way, released their sampans, and began to explore the water depth in the river channels.

Such an action spread to all the major yamen in Fuzhou City almost immediately. After hearing the news, Fujian Left Political Councilor Cai Shanji, his face turned pale with anger, he slapped the case and said angrily: "This guy named Yu

You have betrayed your trust. Didn't you already agree to call a truce? Now that you are suddenly doing this, what do you want to do?"

After hearing this, a staff member nearby frowned and hurriedly waved the attendants out of the room. Then he whispered: "Sir, please calm down and be careful what you say! If such words get out, it will damage your image!"

If those gossips get to know the news, it might spread to the capital, in which case it would be troublesome!"

After hearing this, Cai Shanji was very frightened, his face suddenly turned a little pale, he quickly nodded in agreement, immediately called the few servants and two maids who were in the house just now, into the house, showed a stern expression on his face, and shouted at them

: "You haven't heard anything today. If this matter spreads, don't blame me for being rude to you! If I let you hear the slightest bit of news, I will never let any of you go! Have you heard it?"

Several servants and maids were so frightened that they cried out in fear. They knelt down and said yes repeatedly, and then Cai Shanji drove them out like a duck.

Looking at the backs of the servants who were driven out, Cai Shanji couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat. Only a few people knew about the agreement he had negotiated with Sea Wolf in private, including his most recent domestic servants.

, he did not dare to let them know, even his wife and concubines, did not dare to tell, let alone leave any written things. All the written things involved in this matter were all written down by him.

A fire burned it down.

The standard for this kind of thing is to die in public. Although there are also rumors in the market that he and Sea Wolf have negotiated peace, these are just rumors in the market after all. There is nothing that can be done against him without evidence. If the people around him

If this matter spreads, Jin Yiwei will definitely get the news. After it is sent to the capital, Wei Dang will inevitably make a big fuss about this matter. By then, his whole family will probably be in trouble.

So today he said these words in a hurry, and thinking about it afterwards really made him feel scared.

After seeing that there was no one else in the room, Wen Liufang asked Cai Shanji to sit down and said, "Dong Weng, please calm down for the time being. Although the master and Yu Thief had reached an agreement, this kind of thing must never be allowed to happen again.

People know, otherwise it will definitely cause chaos!

As for the wolf thief suddenly doing something like this this time, the students thought it might have something to do with the new Mr. Futai!

You must know that after the first two Futai masters took office, they both tried to harm the wolf thief. The students felt that this time it was probably because after hearing that the new Futai master took office, Yu thief wanted to give Xiong Futai a show of strength first and let Xiong Futai take office.

Maybe Xiong Futai will give up the idea of ​​continuing to pursue his ideas!"

Cai Shanji reached out and picked up a sweat towel on the table, touched the sweat on his forehead, coughed dryly to cover up the fear and embarrassment in his heart, nodded and said: "This is possible! But is it too much for him to do this?

Is it too much? You must know that the incident at the beginning of this year has just subsided. If Master Xiong is angered and forced to petition the imperial court to unite several provinces to suppress it, what good will it do to Yu Xiaotian? "

Wen Liufang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "This Yu Xiaotian's behavior cannot be judged by ordinary people. He might have his own ideas when doing this. The key now is to see how Xiong Futai handles this matter!

But now that Sea Wolf's fleet has arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River, it directly threatens the safety of Fuzhou City. Although Xiong Futai is in charge, you still need to take care of the prefect and the Dusi and make some preparations.

If Yu Xiaotian gets angry and bombards Fuzhou City, this matter will probably cause a big fuss."

Cai Shanji could only nod in agreement, call people in, and start making arrangements.

Just when Cai Shanji was in shock and doubt, Xiong Wencan also received the news. Urgent reports from coastal states flew like snowflakes to the governor's Yamen. Some asked for help and others warned. In short, the governor's Yamen was bustling with activity.

Xiong Wencan was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't figure out why the wolf thief went crazy again this time.

It stands to reason that after he took office this time, he made no gesture at all to deal with the Sea Wolf. He even rarely mentioned these things when officials were discussing matters. He only asked about some things that happened last year and the civil affairs in various places.

, but what is Yu Xiaotian worried about this time? Well, why did he suddenly get angry again?

So he quickly sent an order to the generals in Fubiao, ordering them to immediately strengthen the defense around Fuzhou City, and sent people to guard the mouth of the Minjiang River to prevent wolf bandits from invading. He also sent an order to the coastal states, ordering them to strengthen their respective alerts, especially

There must be no mistakes in the city, otherwise I will ask you!

After these matters were arranged, he quickly summoned his staff to his outer study to discuss the matter. He wanted to hear their opinions on the matter and why Yu Xiaotian suddenly got angry again.

The staff were all confused about this, and they were all talking about it. Some said that Yu Xiaotian wanted to demonstrate to Xiong Wencan, some said that Yu Thief was going back on his word, and some said that after the Wolf Thief became powerful, he was no longer afraid of official authority.

Act wantonly.

But in the end, someone stood up and said: "Sir! Students think that these reasons may all be there, but they are not always the case!"

"Oh? Then Xiaocheng, what do you think?" Xiong Wencan glanced at the staff member who stood up to speak. This man was probably only in his thirties. He was a Juren from his hometown. After passing the Juren exam,

Then he went out to travel, and later because of his fellow villagers, he joined Xiong Wencan's disciples and served as Xiong Wencan's staff.

This person usually behaves in a low-key manner and seldom comes out to speak, but his mind is quite flexible. Occasionally, he can always hit the key points when he speaks something. Therefore, Xiong Wencan looks at him very differently. When he saw him talking today, he

I asked him politely.

Qian Xiaocheng saw that Xiong Wencan had noticed him, so he continued: "The student believes that this thief is probably coming aggressively this time, and is not intending to plunder the coast of Fujian again. I'm afraid he has a deeper meaning in doing so!

The students also read the newspapers from various places in the past few days. Although the wolf bandits held a large-scale operation this time, they were softer than the last time. They did not attack county towns or large market towns, nor did they take the initiative to attack the defenders in various places.

Just unplugged some castles.

Although there is an element of demonstration in this, the students feel that they want to put pressure on the adults. Maybe Yu Thief wants to force the adults to take the initiative to recruit him this time?"

After listening to Qian Xiaocheng's words, there was an uproar in the room. Many people thought that this was impossible. How could such a method be used to actively force the government to recruit people?

But after Xiong Wencan heard this, he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "No matter what he wants to do now, in short, he can't be fake when he demonstrates to me this time! In this case

If so, it seems that this matter cannot be delayed any longer! Let’s all disperse, Xiaocheng will stay for a moment, I have something to discuss with you!”

After everyone dispersed, they looked back at Xiong Wencan's outer study room, and they were all a little jealous. After all, after this incident, Qian Xiaocheng could basically be regarded as a confidant of Xiong Wencan. To become a confidant of the governor, as long as Xiong Wencan

by

If the official career goes smoothly, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to people like them to get promoted. At that time, Xiong Wencan only needs to make a casual recommendation. At least he will be a magistrate. It should not be a big problem. At the worst, he can be promoted to a county.

The county magistrate is Dangdang.

As the saying goes, the magistrate can be cleansed of one hundred thousand snowflakes in one year. This is also talking about standard upright officials who do not reach out to take money they should not take. Besides, there are several of these people who are planning to become some bullshit upright officials.

In addition to wanting to have a glorious family background, who doesn’t want to make a fortune while serving as an official and save a large fortune for future generations?

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very enviable thing to be among Xiong Wencan's cronies, but there is no other way. Qian Xiaocheng and Xiong Wencan are from the same hometown, and Qian Xiaocheng is also a very smart person.

There is no comparison!
