Chapter 151 Behind the Japanese invasion, the teacher's teachings

"Speaking of Boss Wan, I heard that Boss Wan is having a hard time recently. Almost all the cargo of the three large ships has been emptied, and the loss is huge. In addition to the consumption of fighting Japanese, I heard that he is so angry that he has a headache these days and he can hardly get up."

Speaking of this, Xie Youqi paused and sighed, and continued: "But it's strange to say, why didn't the pirates just drive the boat away, but took the trouble to carry it a little bit, it's really incredible. But fortunately, the pirates took the boat away Stay here, otherwise Boss Wan might really not be able to get up."

Pei Zhiqi put down his teacup, and thoughtfully said: "Besides, I heard that due to the seasonal wind direction, Japanese pirates usually come ashore from March to May, or go ashore in autumn, September and October, but this time it is in the twelfth lunar month. It’s really weird when the Chinese New Year is approaching.”

Xie Youqi snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid the choice of the twelfth lunar month is to catch the common people off guard. Fortunately, Wan Yushan sent people to patrol the seaside every day and never slack off. Otherwise, the common people would be really miserable this time; Being able to go ashore... I have never been able to figure this out, if I insist on saying it, there is only one possibility..."

"Perhaps the Japanese pirates had already arrived in October, but there were local bandits on a certain island in the sea. After staying there for more than a month, they merged with the local bandits on the island to form two teams of Japanese pirates who went ashore." , Pei Zhiqi followed the teacher's words and continued: "The reason why Boss Wan's three big boats were not driven away is because these three boats are too conspicuous. If they stop near the island where they are hiding, they are easy to be spotted by passing fishermen."

The more Pei Zhiqi thought about it, the worse he felt. This Japanese riot might be more than just a Japanese riot.

"Teacher..." He looked at Xie Youqi, hesitating to speak, wondering if he should speak out what was in his heart.

Xie Youqi also sensed that what Pei Zhiqi wanted to say was of great importance, so he replied without hesitation: "You can say what you want to say, anyway, there are only the two of us here, so don't be afraid."

Pei Zhiqi organized his words in his mind, and then continued: "The students are thinking that the Japanese invasion is probably just a part of the conspiracy. If the local bandits are really involved with the officials in the provincial capital, then maybe they are the ones in a small town near the provincial capital. The island is infested with bandits. If they join forces with the Japanese pirates and continue to absorb the Japanese pirates from Japan, and then expand the local bandit team, then the number of them may be far more than the 2000 people in this Japanese raid. , and want to invade Anzhou to grab the granary, I'm afraid... I don't know where the Jinsha State Navy caught the fleeing officials?"

Xie Youqi replied: "I heard from the head of the mountain that they were intercepted at sea."

Pei Zhiqi sighed softly, "It's probably because these officials haven't had time to escape to the island where the pirates are hiding."

"Well..." Xie Youqi pondered: "I heard from the head of the mountain that Mr. Gao is a young and promising general. I hope he is smart enough to think of this."

Pei Zhiqi said softly: "If there is such an island and there are a lot of Japanese pirates hiding there, if we don't make a plan earlier, all these Japanese pirates will land at the same time in the future... the consequences will be disastrous."

Xie Youqi smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I've written down what you said, and I will definitely mention it to the head of the mountain."

Pei Zhiqi also laughed softly: "Perhaps the old man Shanzhang has already thought of this."

Speaking of this, the two were silent for a while, and each took another sip of the tea in the cup, and when the two teacups were empty on the table, Pei Zhiqi refilled the tea for the teacher and himself.

After refilling the tea, Pei Zhiqi asked again: "I don't know how to deal with those arrested officials, Mr. Gao?"

Xie Youqi replied: "I heard from the head of the mountain that as soon as the arrest was completed, the deputy general was sent to the capital in person. After all, the southeast province is the territory of King Jin, the backer of these people. This time, Prince Rong sent cavalry to rush to the rescue. The officials in the city were caught off guard, and King Jin, who was far away in the capital, thought of a way. If he hadn't left the province by then, he might not be able to be detained in the capital. As long as he arrived in the capital, it would be the place where His Majesty and Prince Rong lived. Everything will be fine. Do more."

"Prince Rong..." Pei Zhiqi murmured, "I hope that what the students were thinking just now is unfounded, otherwise, if there are really many Japanese pirates hidden on such an island, then the nearby Jinsha State Navy may not be able to solve this problem. To wipe out all the Japanese pirates, the provincial navy must be used, but if the provincial navy is all from King Jin, then even Prince Rong may not be able to mobilize it..."

Xie Youqi smiled and said: "Don't worry, such a big matter, let the big man solve it. What you have to do now is to study well, get a good reputation, and wait until the day you reach the court, then you don't worry anymore That's it."

Pei Zhiqi nodded: "Students are taught."

"I've read your papers for the last township examination," Xie Youqi said again: "The inspector's father-in-law at that time was the salt official in the local county. Take it, do you understand?"

Pei Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It really is."

The lady was right at the beginning.

Xie Youqi smiled and comforted him and said, "Don't panic, I will not let you make the same mistake again in the rural examination this autumn, who will be the chief examiner, who will be the assistant examiner, and what can and cannot be written in your paper, I will know all about it." Tell you in advance."

"Can……"

Pei Zhiqi always felt that this was wrong.

"Is the teacher telling me to avoid the taboos of the examiners, so as to avoid the risk of losing the election? But isn't this..."

"Isn't that what it is? Isn't it a loss of integrity to flatter your superiors?" Xie Youqi followed Pei Zhiqi's words and said seriously: "But if you would rather bend than bend at this time and be strong and difficult, you can only be a scholar who failed the ranking forever, so that you can cleanse the officialdom Has it benefited the common people? This is what the so-called man can bend and stretch. "The bend of the inchworm is to seek trust; the sting of the dragon and snake is to save oneself." You have also memorized this sentence, and you should know its meaning. Etc. Now that you have entered the imperial court and become an official, think about stretching your fists!"

"I……"

At most, he could only pass the Juren examination, and the matter of not being able to enter the capital to continue the examination has always been a thorn in his throat, and it was always difficult for him to speak up in the face of the attentive teacher.

But what the teacher said made him feel as if he was enlightened and benefited a lot.

After thinking for a long time, he finally bowed his hands to salute the teacher, and answered four words: "Students are taught."

Seeing that the students were nervous again, Xie Youqi took another sip of tea and chatted with him relaxedly: "Although many officials from Southeast Province were arrested this time, Southeast Province is still under the jurisdiction of Governor Yan Da. Judging from his movements in recent years, Most of them are loyal supporters of King Jin. I heard that His Majesty called him back to Beijing in the past five years since he took the throne, but he always refused to return to Beijing under the pretext of Japanese riots in the southeast province or other excuses. Heh, if His Majesty summons you again, I don’t know what excuse he will use.”

Pei Zhiqi sighed and said, "I didn't expect that there are so many things involved behind the Japanese Rebellion."

Xie Youqi laughed and said: "Speaking of which, last time the old mountain chief said that you are very similar to a person with both civil and military skills. Who do you think this person is?"
