Emergency on the front line

"Ever since I got these books, I've been very interested in the words on them, but it's just that no one understands them. Right now, Guanzhu Li is willing to come, which can be regarded as a solution to my urgent need!"

"Tell me, what reward do you master and apprentice want?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Li Lisheng and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, I don't want any rewards. I just hope that after the above text is translated, I can copy a copy and go back. It can be regarded as fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the previous temple masters. I hope your Majesty will make it come true!" Li Lisheng After all, kneel down on the ground.

"Bold, dare to talk to Your Majesty like that!" Lu Fang who was on the side saw this and quickly scolded.

"It's okay, since this is the book you lost in Qingxuguan, it should be returned to its original owner, I agree! In addition, after the translation of the above text is completed, I will have my own reward. Go down." Jiajing listened to Li Lisheng. He didn't get angry after the request, and agreed to his request with a calm tone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Li Lisheng showed joy when he heard the words, and he pulled his disciples together to salute Jiajing.

Soon, a eunuch came forward and led the master and apprentice to another room.

After Li Lisheng's master and apprentice left, only Lu Fang and Jiajing were left in the huge Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Lu Fang, you did a good job in this matter! Just now you said that the one who contributed the most in this matter is your godson Feng Bao?"

"Your Majesty, it's true. After receiving the tadpole letter that day, my servant was very worried. I didn't know where to start. At this time, my godson Feng Bao came to see me."

"When he saw the tadpole inscription in the hand of the slave girl, he was shocked, and quickly told the slave girl that there is a Taoist temple in his hometown called Qingxu Temple! When he went to Qingxu Temple to offer incense when he was young, he found this kind of tadpole inscription there, so Then I told the servants about the matter, and it was able to go so smoothly."

Lu Fang replied to Jiajing respectfully, not daring to hide anything.

"Well, so to speak, your godson Feng Bao has made a contribution to this matter, plus he was the first to announce the good news to me, and the few whips he received, he is a clever person, I should Reward him well." After Jiajing finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"I remember that Eunuch Shi, the eunuch of Bingbi, seems to be approaching his age?" Jiajing asked Lu Fang after thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty, yes, Eunuch Shi will leave the palace this year." Lu Fang suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and explained for Jiajing with the same expression on her face.

"Well, since that's the case, then let Feng Bao take the position of Eunuch Dingshi!"

"Thank you for your majesty's grace! This servant is willing to die for your majesty."

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

At this time, Hu Zongxian couldn't help but look gloomy looking at the information handed back by Qi Jiguang from the front line.

Right now, the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang have almost been wiped out, but for some reason, these Japanese pirates have revived again, and fled to the neighboring province of Fujian, and soon gathered 1 people, and the local guards in Fujian are rotten , The combat effectiveness of the soldiers is extremely low. Right now, from Funing to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, thousands of miles away, they are full of Japanese pirates' caves!
"These damned guys, I am worried that I have no reason to deal with you, but you hit the guns yourself, so I will use you to sacrifice the flag!" Hu Zongxian slammed the table, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Hu Zongxian knew that these pirates were able to revive in such a short period of time, it must be the support of those coastal smuggling families. Hu Zongxian might have scruples in the past, but now that Hu Zongxian has the emperor's endorsement, he has no scruples at all. Immediately prepare to take these people under the knife.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Zongxian called his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Send a letter to the cabinet, saying that there are a large number of Japanese pirates in Fujian Province, with as many as 1 people! From Funing to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, all of them have fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates. Request The imperial court sent troops to attack."

"Yes, this subordinate is going!"

After his subordinates left, Hu Zongxian spread out the pen and paper again, and began to write a letter to Qi Jiguang at the front line. There was nothing else in the letter, only a long list. The names listed above were all well-known smugglers in the southeast coast. family.

The Ming court strictly implemented the sea ban, but smuggling was still banned repeatedly. The reason is that the profits behind it are too tempting, so tempting that even if you risk ransacking your family, you still have to take risks!
Most of the people involved in the smuggling are local gentry, national nobles, and local guarding officials, etc. All kinds of forces are intertwined and intertwined to form such a huge interest group.

Therefore, the sea ban policy is only applicable to ordinary people, and it has no effect on these people.

……

I don't know how many horses died of exhaustion, and I don't know how many post stations I passed along the way. Hu Zongxian's memorial was finally delivered to the cabinet before dark.

"Huh, today's duty is over." Yan Song said after completing the correction of the last memorial.

"Yes, by the way, the weather has been getting warmer and warmer recently, and it will be spring soon." Xu Jie took Yan Song's words and said.

"So what if it's spring? You still can't take off the clothes on your body rashly, after all, there will be a cold spring in the future! My old bones can't bear it." Yan Song responded with a smile after listening to Xu Jie's words.

"That's right, Mr. Yan Ge still needs to take care of his health!" Xu Jie sighed a few words, and then he was about to walk out of the cabinet.

"Thank you Xu Ge for your concern!" Yan Song responded unhurriedly.

At this moment, a small official rushed in from outside the cabinet. He looked anxious. He knelt down on the ground the moment he entered the cabinet, and at the same time raised the memorial in his hand above his head, and said loudly: "Q... Mr. Ge, this is the memorial that Hu Zongxian, Governor of Zhejiang Province, sent over urgently."

"What? Hu Zongxian's memorial, show it to me quickly!" Seeing this, Yan Song stepped forward quickly and took the memorial from the little official.

After Yan Song read the above content, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please follow me to meet Your Majesty! A large number of Japanese pirates suddenly appeared in Fujian. Right now, from Funing to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian, all of them have fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates. "

"What!" All the elders in the pavilion were shocked when they heard what Yan Song said, and they followed Yan Song to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Yan Song led the other members of the cabinet into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he immediately bowed to Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said, "Your Majesty, I will greet you!"

"Wake up, get up! All the lovers are so eager, but what happened?" Jiajing glanced over everyone's faces and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorandum handed over by Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province. It says that a large number of Japanese pirates suddenly appeared in Fujian, and thousands of miles of Fujian have been reduced to the caves of Japanese pirates!" Yan Song said, and he knelt down on the ground first. , and held the memorial high above his head.

Seeing this, Lu Fang, who had been waiting by Jiajing's side, hurried forward, took the memorial from Yan Song, and respectfully handed it over to the emperor.

Jiajing took the memorandum from Lu Fang, and after reading the above content, he said coldly: "How do you think this matter should be handled? Who should be used?"

Yan Song took the lead and gave a suggestion: "Your Majesty, the current situation in Fujian has become so corrupt, most of it is due to the negligence of local officials, coupled with the corruption of the local guards, and the low combat effectiveness of the soldiers! I request that Zhe Zhi Governor Hu Zongxian came to lead this campaign with full power, after all, the Japanese pirates who had been entrenched in Zhejiang had already been wiped out by him."

"And his generals, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, etc., have been fighting Japanese pirates for a long time, and the soldiers in command are also experienced in hundreds of battles, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong! Presumably they can wipe out this group of Japanese pirates in the shortest possible time."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I also want to recommend a candidate to Your Majesty, Tan Lun!" After Yan Song, Xu Jie followed closely and recommended his favorite candidate to the emperor.

"In the 29th year of Jiajing, Tan Lun was appointed as the magistrate of Taizhou to defend against the Japanese pirates who invaded the coast. Tan Lun recruited thousands of local brave men to train troops to fight against the Japanese. In the 36th year of Jiajing, he defeated the Japanese pirates. Tan Lun personally led the deadly soldiers to fight, three battles and three victories, which greatly boosted the army's prestige."
