When Gonggong Feng saw us rushing in, his face was unhappy and said, who are you, the dignified governor's yamen, has become the vegetable market at the door, you don't even need to take it seriously, just come in?

Hu Zongxian shouted, Feng Linggan, these people are all my subordinates, and it is not your turn to teach you a lesson.

Zhang Yuanjing stepped forward and gave a respectful salute, saying, Lord Ministry, the source of this silver is unknown, you can't accept it!

Feng Linggan sneered, the origin of the silver is clear and unknown, it is all the silver of the Ming Dynasty, and it can also fill the stomachs of the soldiers in front, and now that the frontline is tight, you have to make a decision.

Zhang Yuanjing was a little excited, and said loudly, Gonggong Feng, our Jiangsu and Zhejiang troops are working the front line, you don't give support, don't say anything, and still do things in the back, stabbing knives, it really chills the hearts of our Hu Jiajun.

Feng Linggan's voice suddenly sharpened, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang army is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang army of the Ming Dynasty, not your Hu Zongxian's Jiangsu and Zhejiang army, this general, if you say so, if you talk about the crime, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of forming a party for personal gain.

Feng Ling was aggressive, Hu Zongxian leaned on the Taishi chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word.

Obviously, in the court, some people can't see his scenery, and borrow money from Jiangnan people in his name to fight for the Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies, which is to be sure that Hu Zongxian will definitely take this money in order to resist the Japanese, so that the evidence of his crime will be confirmed. I couldn't help but shake my head, among the six departments, the household department was in chaos first, and now it is the turn of the military department, which one is next?

The scene was a little embarrassing, and I couldn't say anything about the resignation. After a moment of silence, suddenly there was a cry in the hall, and when I looked at it, it was Overseer Feng Linggan wiping away tears.

Master Hu, our family has had no father and mother since childhood, and in order to eat, he was sold to the palace, but who expected that he would have suffered a lot of white eyes, if it wasn't for the godfather to rescue him, I am afraid he would have died in the palace. I finally got mixed up with an overseer's errand, but I caught up with the Japanese rebellion, an overseer is not good, and it is the life of a head-killer, and our family's life is really thinner than paper.

I said in my heart Feng Linggan, Feng Linggan, you are not only thin, but your name is also very thin, and it is extremely thin invisible. This acting is natural, snot and tears, just come when you say it, your voice is down, it seems that I have been in the palace for a long time, all of them are old drama bones, I am ashamed of myself.

Speaking of this, Gonggong Feng knelt on the ground with a thud.

You must know that according to the rules of the imperial court, the post of overseer is mostly held by eunuchs, although they do not have the right to command, but they have the right to report and impeach, and at the same time represent the emperor, so the governors of the provinces are generally respectful, out of sight and out of mind. Now Feng Linggan actually knelt on the ground himself, which made everyone present dumbfounded.

Hu Zongxian no longer pretended to be asleep at this time, and hurriedly got up and said, the father-in-law can't help it, he can't do it.

Gonggong Feng cried bitterly and said, Master Hu, you are bitter in your heart, if you don't say it, I know. But for the sake of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies, and for the people of Jiangnan, please accept the 500,000 taels of silver!

Hu Zongxian was calm for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, I accepted the silver ticket. As long as I defeat the Japanese Kou, even if I am infamous in the future, I Hu Zongxian will admit it!

Zhang Yuanjing, Zhao Zili and others saw tears in their eyes, and Hu Zongxian was under great pressure and accepted the silver ticket that he knew might put him to death in the future, just to drive the Japanese out of the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Zongxian issued several instructions one after another, ordering Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang to lead the Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies to rush to Songjiang Mansion to fight to the death with the Japanese in Songjiang.

Zhao Zili immediately went to Yingtian, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to buy grain, and the first batch of grain and grass should arrive in Songjiang Mansion within 12 hours, responsible for all supplies. Zhang Yuanjing is a scout army, responsible for spying on the enemy, understanding the enemy's military deployment, and so on.

Two hours later, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang troops set off for Songjiang Mansion, two hundred miles away. Hu Zongxian did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on going, but it was Gonggong Feng, who rode back to Jinling City after seeing the action of the army.

Xu Ruonan and I made an appointment to meet in Songjiang Mansion, so I and Zhang Yuanjing's scout team went all the way south to Songjiang Mansion. When passing through Hai'an and Rudong counties all the way, I encountered a large number of refugees, dragged my family with my mouth, and poured down along the official road to the inner 6.

In less than a month, the entire Jiangnan was shrouded in the shadow of the Japanese rebellion. This is different from Yanmen, where we are located, Yanmen borders the Northern Zhou Dynasty and suffers from the Northern Zhou harassment all the year round. The Japanese are different, like locusts, and everywhere they go, not a single grass grows.

Zhang Yuanjing looked at the displaced people on the road, and sighed in his heart, these people left their hometowns in order to escape the Japanese rebellion, but they didn't know if they could survive.

I said so many homeless people, doesn't the court care?

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, Brother Su, do you know how much the price of rice in Jiangnan has risen in the past half month? It is a full five times! Originally, one stone of rice was only one or two stones, but in less than half a month, it reached eight taels and one stone!

I remember that in recent years, in order to prepare for the Japanese people, the imperial court set up 18 righteous warehouses in the south of the Yangtze River, and how could the large warehouses range from 50,000 stone to 120,000 small warehouses.

Zhang Yuanjing showed an angry look on his face and said sadly, the entire Jiangnan officialdom has rotten. Taking Changshu Warehouse as an example, it has a reserve of 50,000 stone of rice in the harvest year, and was ordered to adjust the grain last month, but only the dregs that even the horses did not eat were less than 10,000 stone. Lord Hu was furious and insisted on killing Wu Weicai, who expected that the prefect was actually the nephew of Yang Gelao of the cabinet of the central government, and wrote a letter to plead, but Lord Hu still killed him. If it is said that this purchase of grain has nothing to do with Yang Gelao, I don't believe it.

The scout army wanted to find out the details of the Japanese before the arrival of the large army, so they hurried along the way, even eating and drinking, and solved it immediately, and when they were done, they arrived at Songjiang Mansion.

The Japanese army led by Wang Heng met almost no resistance and occupied Chongming Island yesterday morning.

This trick was very clever, originally thought that the war would start in Hengjiang Port, if the forced landing, the defenders of the city occupy a geographical advantage, then the Japanese will fall into a passive scene, but they only used seven or eight ships of Miyazo Daisa, and played a trick to occupy Chongming Island by a detour.

Chongming Island is located where the Yangtze River flows into the East China Sea, and has excellent strategic advantages. If you can enter the Central Plains along the Yangtze River to the west, you can retreat to the east and flee back to the East China Sea.

Luo Youdao, the prefect of Songjiang, had fled with his family, and only the garrison Changsheng and the garrison were less than 100 people guarding Songjiang Mansion. Zhang Yuanjing sent scouts to collect information on the Japanese along the way, and if necessary, infiltrated Chongming Island to get in touch with the undercover agents of the Ming army.

Before, the Japanese invaders burned, killed, and plundered along the river, and most of them retreated after they succeeded, and the imperial court characterized them as Japanese rebellion. Now that the island is occupied, this is not an ordinary banditry, but a formal declaration of war.

Garrison Chang Sheng reported to Zhang Yuanjing that in the early hours of yesterday morning, fog rose on the river, and at dawn, hundreds of boats suddenly came up on the river, quickly occupied Chongming Island, and captured more than 600 fishermen and villagers on the island. In the afternoon, the Japanese sent three squadrons, about 800 people, to sack the three towns of Taicang, Linjiang, and Chonghai along the way, and looted supplies and grain.

The three brothers Wang Heng, Wang Zhu, and Wang Zhi were not in the team. This time, the three generals Inoue, Rooftop, and Watanabe led the team, and it was the three great generals who ransacked the three towns of Taicang, such as the street, the bridge, and the field.

I asked these people why their surnames were so weird. Chang Sheng has been dealing with the Japanese all the year round, and he said, where do they usually get together, so he is named. I snorted, and couldn't help but hum: in the street, under the bridge, in the field......

After Zhang Yuanjing made the arrangements, he proposed to sneak into Chongming Island at night and asked me if I wanted to go with him. I was going to look for Xu Ruonan, but now the military situation is far greater than my personal feelings, so I asked Chang Sheng to garrison to find Xu Ruonan's whereabouts, and if I can see it, I will invite him to Songjiang Mansion first.

It was early summer, and at the beginning of the night, the sky was foggy and visibility on the water was extremely low. Zhang Yuanjing and I drove a small boat and under the cover of heavy fog, approached Chongming Island.

According to Chang Sheng's prompt, we docked the ship in a hidden place, changed back into the Japanese clothes that were on the Sirius at that time, and went to Chongming Island.

Since we had been on the Sky Wolf, the temperament and speech on our body did not attract the attention of the other Japanese robbers, and we wandered around the island very casually.

The pirates began to revel, enjoying the looted cattle and sheep, wine and meat, food, and the women of the island. Screams, laughter, and so on, this is hell, and this is heaven.

Two widows, dragging a village woman, stripped the village woman naked in front of the widows, and forcibly humiliated her, while the rest of the crowd coaxed on the side, and the woman could not bear the humiliation, and bit off the ear of a widow, and the widow was furious and cut the woman into pulp with a knife.

I was furious, but Zhang Yuanjing grabbed me and shook my head.

I said angrily in a low voice, you are a soldier, there is nothing to sacrifice for victory, but I am different, I am a fast catcher, a fast catcher of the people of the Ming Dynasty, I can't watch them suffer.

Zhang Yuanjing said, Brother Su, we are scouts, everything is based on military intelligence, if you are reckless and delay the fighter, the lives of 1.8 million people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces will be buried in the hands of you and me.

I knew he was right, but I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart. Zhang Yuanjing patted me on the shoulder and said that if I can find a place where they supply food and grass, it will be worth it tonight.

The two of them came to the west, on the west shore, there were about three hundred warships docked, not as many as originally thought, and if we put it into account, there were about sixty or seventy thousand people on the island this time.

These ships are of different sizes, Zhang Yuanjing counted them, eighty-two of them are equipped with artillery, these ships are heavily guarded, and they are in a state of combat readiness at any time.

After about two hours, the situation on the whole island was almost touched, there were about 30,000 Japanese on the island, and there were 30,000 or 40,000 on the warships, and the entire food supply was not transported to the island, but on six cargo ships behind the artillery.

I asked Zhang Yuanjing, these people are blatantly occupying Chongming Island, aren't they afraid that our Daming Sailor will come to conquer?

Zhang Yuanjing said with a wry smile, these Japanese invaders have eaten too thoroughly for the army of our Ming Dynasty, not to mention anything else, the transfer of more than 10,000 troops must be authorized by the Ministry of War, the governor and the general Tiger Fu, and really start a war.

I said that I will be outside, and the king's order is not subject to something, can't I act cheaply?

Zhang Yuanjing said, to prevent the Japanese and resist the Japanese, everyone only wants to be innocent, not meritorious, and to transfer troops across regions, they must ask the governor for instructions, and they will go back and forth for a few days, and they cannot afford to be injured.

It is no wonder that three years ago, thirty or forty Japanese robbers wandered around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, burned and killed all the way, ransacked seventeen county seats, and finally left. In this way, it is not without reason.

Just as we were retreating, we suddenly saw five or six widows on the largest ship, escorting a woman, and walked in.

The escort was Xu Ruonan.

There was a buzz in my head, and the true qi in the sea of stars skyrocketed.

Xu Ruo boy sensed it, looked at me, and inadvertently, made a gesture at me, meaning to be a little calm.

Zhang Yuanjing looked at me with some puzzlement when he saw that I was a different person.

I said, Brother Yuan Jing, why don't you go back first.

Zhang Yuanjing asked, what's wrong?

I took a deep breath and said, tonight, I'm going to go on a killing spree.
