Rise From the Humble

On this day, Xuhai, Maye, Chendong, and Hojo Dou Sanzhuan Entai Japanese fried dumplings, which were entrenched in Tuolin, Chuansabao, Huating and other places in Songjiang Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, created "Tiancha Pinghai General", "Tiancha Pinghai General" and "Tiancha Pinghai General". The banners of "Cha Ping Hai Da Sima", "Tian Cha Ping Hai Da Zhu Guo", "Tian Cha Ping Hai Daming Family Governor" and other banners have roughly integrated the Japanese pirates from all walks of life who came to gather one after another, forming four major groups of Japanese pirates. .

After the integration, the Japanese in Xuhai became more and more aggressive. On that day, they attacked Zhapu and Haining counties at the same time.

When the county towns of Zhapu and Haining were on the verge of collapse, the Japanese pirates suddenly changed direction and headed towards Chongde County. Chongde County was unprepared and was killed by Japanese pirates. Chongde County fell.

After a burst of burning, killing and looting in Chongde County, the Japanese pirates swaggered, sang and danced as if they were strolling through their own back garden, pulled horses and oxen, and drove hundreds of horse-drawn carriages back to their lair in Tuolin.

The people of Songjiang Prefecture were miserable. Many people in the streets and alleys cursed the imperial court for its incompetence and inability to protect the people. Some people scolded Jiangnan Governor Zhang Jing for being a wise man. He had so many soldiers under his command, but he stood still and watched the Japanese pirates wreak havoc in Songjiang Prefecture. Loot.

In Yingtian City, there were many similar voices. There were many voices criticizing Governor Zhang Jing in teahouses and restaurants. They all felt that Zhang Jing, the governor of Jiangnan, had the responsibility and obligation to send troops to exterminate the Japanese pirates in Songjiang Prefecture.

After Zhao Wenhua learned that the Japanese pirates had breached Chongde County, he went straight to Heng, Zhang Jing's restaurant, and broke into Zhang Jing's office without waiting for notification.

"Governor Zhang, the Japanese pirates are so lawless. They openly attacked our county in Ming Dynasty in broad daylight. They even broke into a county. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. The people screamed everywhere. As the governor of Jiangnan provinces, Governor Zhang is responsible for destroying the Japanese emperor. I also ask Governor Zhang to send troops quickly to annihilate the Japanese pirates Xu Hai, Maye, Chen Dong, Hojo Dosan and others who are entrenched in Tuolin, Chuanshabao, Huating and other places in Zhejiang Province, so as to eliminate harm to the people."

As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Wenhua directly urged Zhang Jing to send troops to destroy Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates.

In the room, Zhang Jing was arranging deployment work for the officials of the Ministry of War. When he saw Zhao Wenhua barging in without notice, he was already worried. Now he saw Zhao Wenhua bossing him around and ordering him to send troops, just like he was training his subordinates. I am even more worried. You, a person who is not as high-ranking as me, has less power than me, has not as good a reputation as me, and still considers me as my father, have you got the right to dictate to me, Zhang Jingyi.

Send troops to suppress the Japanese? !

I think so too, I want to send troops to exterminate those damn Japanese pirates more than anyone else! But we can’t send out troops now!

Nowadays, the soldiers under my command have no ability to suppress Japanese invaders, and the officers and soldiers in various places have no ability to suppress Japanese invaders. Thank God that they can defend their homes.

Although there are several Beijing camps in Yingtian, their military strength and combat effectiveness are quite good, but the main responsibility of the Beijing camps is to protect Yingtian city and the imperial mausoleum. Although I, the governor of Jiangnan, also have the power to command them, but unless there are special circumstances, I can still Do not mobilize the several Beijing camps guarding Yingtian and the imperial mausoleum.

In normal times, at most one-third of the Beijing camp will be mobilized. Sufficient troops must be left to protect Yingtian City and the imperial mausoleum. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong between Ying Tian and Emperor Ling, he will definitely be guilty of an unpardonable crime and will be held responsible for his death.

Although in addition to the Beijing camp, there are some officers and soldiers from other places who have been transferred to Yingtian. These officers and soldiers can all be deployed, but the number of these officers and soldiers is less than 20,000, and their equipment and combat effectiveness are not as good as those of the Beijing camp. On the way here, there are generals He was self-reliant and brave, and took the initiative to lead troops to find and fight Japanese pirates. However, he suffered several defeats in succession, and his morale dropped sharply. In addition, there are veteran generals who hold their own seniority and have high status and rich experience, but they are not very obedient to orders.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. In such a situation, how can we go out to suppress the Japanese? ! With today's military strength and combat power, they are no match for the Japanese pirates. Failure will only make the Japanese pirates more arrogant, make the people more disappointed, and make the situation worse.

Therefore, we cannot act rashly. We must wait for the arrival of capable troops such as Guangdong and Guangxi wolf soldiers and Shandong spearmen from outside before sending troops to suppress the Japanese.

The wolf soldiers of Guangdong and Guangxi are powerful and capable of conquering and fighting. I have served as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and are deeply loved by the wolf soldiers. I command the wolf soldiers like a finger and an arm. After the wolf soldiers arrive, after careful deployment, they are confident that they can complete the battle.

If you don't move, it's done. If you move, it's done!

Therefore, Zhang Jing glanced at Zhao Wenhua impatiently and said coldly, "Now is not the time to send troops to destroy the Japanese. Lord Zhao can just sacrifice to the sea with all his heart. I have my own arrangements for the suppression of the Japanese. I won't bother Lord Zhao." Take the trouble.”

Zhao Wenhua's face looked ugly, "Now is not the time to send troops, then when will it be?"

"This officer has his own arrangements. The sacrifice to the sea will be held soon. Master Zhao should focus on the sacrifice to the sea."

Zhang Jing was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Wenhua anymore, and dismissed Zhao Wenhua with a very official perfunctory sentence.

"What arrangements does Governor Zhang have that I cannot tell this officer? Governor Zhang needs to remember that in addition to the imperial envoys who worship the sea, I also have the imperial envoys who supervise military affairs. I have the right and responsibility to know Governor Zhang's arrangements for the suppression of Japanese pirates."

Zhao Wenhua's face turned dark, and he said to Zhang Jing angrily. In order to persuade Zhang Jing, Zhao Wenhua moved out of Emperor Jiajing.

"Master Zhao also said that your imperial envoy is to supervise military affairs, not to direct military affairs." Zhang Jing said calmly.

"You." Zhao Wenhua was choked and could not speak for a moment, but he was also a veteran in officialdom and quickly found a way to break the situation. He said word by word, "Yes, my imperial envoy is to supervise military affairs, not to command. Military affairs, but supervising military affairs naturally also includes supervising how Governor Zhang and the generals direct military affairs."

"I still have to inspect the military camps. I don't have time to play word games with Mr. Zhao. Please go back, Mr. Zhao."

Zhang Jing stood up and said.

"I am not playing a word game with Governor Zhang, and the suppression of Japanese pirates is not a game. Today, Xu Hai, Maye, Chen Dong and other Japanese pirates have conquered Chongde. Countless Chongde people have their corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood. The dead people They are waiting for us to avenge them. The living people are waiting for us to exterminate the Japanese pirates and bring them safety. The Holy Spirit is also waiting for us to play a triumphant song in Xiyuan! Governor Zhang, I only want to ask today, when will we send troops to suppress the Japanese? "Zhao Wenhua stood in front of Zhang Jing and asked without giving in.

"I will send troops when the time comes!" Zhang Jing was stopped by Zhao Wenhua, and he was even more unhappy and said impatiently.

"When will the time come? Haha, Governor Zhang is afraid of the Japanese pirates, and wants to wait for the Japanese pirates to steal their feet and escape, so he can repay the favor by slaying the remaining pirates, right?"

Zhao Wenhua sneered.

"Fart! I'm waiting for the wolf soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi to arrive!" Zhang Jing was so angry at Zhao Wenhua's words that he cursed.
