Rise From the Humble

"Don't be hasty, don't waste time chopping wood while sharpening your sword. Anyway, there are a lot of Japanese pirates, and we won't be able to wipe them out in a while. Once you have replenished your firearms and gunpowder, we will have plenty of opportunities, and we won't miss out in a while."

Zhao Wenhua smiled and waved his hand to show that he was not in a hurry. When he saw that Zhu Pingan had run out of tea, he picked up the teapot and filled Zhu Pingan a cup.

"Thank you, Master Zhao, for your understanding." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and thanked him.

"When the Japanese were defeated one after another in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, Zihou's great victory in Zhejiang was commendable. In particular, some people still did not send out a single soldier despite my repeated urgings, as if they had raised the Japanese pirates, for fear of being injured if they sent out troops. Japanese pirates.”

While Zhao Wenhua praised Zhu Ping'an, he also acted strangely with Zhang Jing and others, insinuating that Zhang Jing was raising Japanese people to respect themselves.

Zhu Ping'an didn't know how to answer, so he simply remained silent.

"Zihou, you don't know, it's not easy for me to be an imperial envoy. I remember when I left the capital, I boasted to the emperor that I would go south to supervise the king's division in as little as two or three months, or as long as half a year. Eradicate the Japanese pirates, restore a prosperous and stable Jiangnan, and restore peace to the people.”

"But, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I have repeatedly ordered Zhang Jing and Governor Zhang to send out troops to destroy the Japanese. Governor Zhang not only did not send a single soldier, but also excluded me from the curtain. He did not let me get involved in any military response. Guarding me is like guarding against thieves. Now I don’t even have the basic military right to know, let alone the commander.”

"My supervisor did not move Zhang Jing, and the same happened to the other generals including Cao Bangfu. Each of them remained silent."

"Zihou, I'm in trouble. I don't even know how to explain to the Holy One. I don't even have the shame to report to the Holy One."

Zhao Wenhua complained repeatedly to Zhu Ping'an, saying why Zhang Jing and others were not cooperating, and why he was so difficult.

There should be a follow-up, there’s so much foreshadowing.

When Zhao Wenhua started to complain, Zhu Pingan began to count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 silently in his mind.

Sure enough, when Zhu Pingan silently counted to 8, Zhao Wenhua spoke.

"Fortunately, there is no way to stop the enemy. Zihou, your great victory in northern Zhejiang, finally gave me the courage to report to the Holy Emperor."

Zhao Wenhua stepped forward, patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder, and said with a comforting look on his face, his words full of hints.

Still have to take credit.

I thought that you were not trying to steal the credit, but that you wanted to pull yourself into their chariot and make another meritorious service. I didn't expect that you would come around and come back and still want to take the credit.

"Ahem, Master Zhao, after the victory in the ambush in northern Zhejiang, I immediately sent the battle report to Governor Zhang Jingzhang. I also wrote a secret letter detailing the whole story and results of the ambush in northern Zhejiang. I’m already excited to deliver the preview.”

Zhu Ping'an coughed and replied to Zhao Wenhua embarrassedly.

"You reported it so quickly?!" Zhao Wenhua's expression suddenly dropped, and he lost control of his expression.

You, Zhang Jing, have not reported to the capital once for several months. You are the complete opposite. You report too frequently and too quickly.

Zhu Pingan twitched his lips after hearing this, why did I report so quickly? I reported so quickly just because I was worried that you would take the credit.

"Haha, Mr. Zhu was also loyal to his duties and won the victory. He submitted the preview as soon as possible to make the Holy Emperor happy. This is also the duty of a minister." Hu Zongxian smiled and helped Zhu Pingan speak.

Zhao Wenhua looked at Hu Zongxian without saying a word.

"Haha, Your Majesty was ordered by the Holy One to supervise the division in the south of the Yangtze River. Lord Zhu's great victory in northern Zhejiang is also due to the contribution of the Superintendent."

"Your Excellency, Supervisor Zhang Jing, Governor Zhang. Governor Zhang clarified the positions of the Governor, governors and generals in the deployment of suppressing Japanese pirates, and urged Lord Zhu and other governors from various places to destroy Japanese pirates in their jurisdiction. Lord Zhu's great victory in northern Zhejiang is not the result of your Excellency's Supervisor's victory." Gong?"

"Besides, your Excellency has a teacher-student relationship with Master Zhu. Your Excellency encourages Master Zhu to be loyal to the emperor, serve the country, and exterminate the Japanese pirates. Aren't you also the supervisor?"

"So, Master Zhu's great victory in northern Zhejiang is also the result of your supervisor."

Hu Zongxian said with a smile. In just a few words, Zhao Wenhua added a great victory in northern Zhejiang to his supervisor's credit book.

"Oh, what Mei Lin said." Zhao Wenhua said and looked at Zhu Pingan.

You two are singing together

Are you tired?

Zhu Ping'an felt tired for them, but the great victory in northern Zhejiang was not given to them, so it was difficult to refuse the merit of the superintendent.

Zhao Wenhua was ordered to supervise Jiangnan, and only he had the power to supervise the division, and no one else did. Therefore, Zhao Wenhua was the only one who could perform the task of supervising the division, and no one else had the qualifications to do so.

In a sense, Zhao Wenhua's factors did contribute to this great victory in northern Zhejiang.

Zhao Wenhua did supervise Zhang Jing many times, regardless of whether his supervisor had any effect, whether his supervisor had a positive effect or a negative effect.

To a certain extent, it accelerated Zhang Jing's clarification of the division of military power between governors and governors, and accelerated Zhang Jing's orders to local governors to protect the country and the people, and ordered governors in various places to find out the self-respecting gentry who supported Japanese pirates and the unruly people who had liaisons with Japanese pirates.

Zhao Wenhua supervised Zhang Jing, and Zhang Jing supervised the governors of various places, so he became the governor of Zhejiang.

In order to protect the country and the people and find out the gentry and common people who had liaisons with the Japanese pirates, he implemented the law of protecting the house numbers of ten households. However, the implementation of the law of protecting the house numbers of ten households caused the backlash of the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates did not want to be eradicated from the eyes and ears of the people and the soil for their development. They jumped over the wall and sent troops to massacre the three counties of Jiashan, Pinghu and Haiyan, which modeled their compliance with the ten-household protection law, and used bloody terror to destroy the ten-household protection law in Zhejiang.

In order to protect the armor of the ten households from being destroyed, and to protect the people from being harmed by the Japanese pirates, he ambushed the Japanese pirates who sent troops in northern Zhejiang.

We achieved a great victory in the ambush in northern Zhejiang.

So, in a sense, this great victory in the ambush in northern Zhejiang really had some credit from General Zhao Wenhua.

Moreover, if I refused to share the great victory in northern Zhejiang and then refused his credit for the great victory in northern Zhejiang, Zhao Wenhua would definitely hate me.

The gain does not make up for the loss.

However, we cannot give them the credit for the great victory in northern Zhejiang for nothing. If we want to get the credit, we must pay a price.

Such a brainstorming session seems long, but in fact, it was completed in a breath.

"Oh, Merlin said it."

Zhao Wenhua only said the word "it".

"Lord Hu makes sense." Zhu Pingan interrupted Zhao Wenhua and said loudly.

Since we want to give Zhao Wenhua the credit for the great victory in northern Zhejiang, we should just give it to him. It can also win a good impression on Zhao Wenhua, and it will be easy for him to refuse it later.

"Oh, Zihou thinks so too, great minds think alike, hahahaha." Zhao Wenhua was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Ping'an say that Hu Zongxian was right, as if he had drunk a glass of iced nectar on a dog day with chapped lips, and every pore cried out in satisfaction. (End of this chapter)
