In February, the capital looks bright in spring, the fields that were originally covered with snow have slowly melted, and some earthen dams have grown tender green grass, and the people have begun spring ploughing one after another.

This year is neither the year of the outer inspection nor the year of the Beijing inspection, and the entire court seems to be very calm. The cultivation ceremony is the biggest event in the capital in February, and I thought that this month would pass like this, but a post man with a document on his back ran into the city of Beijing on his horse.

After Hu Zongxian drove the Japanese from Nanzhili and the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Japanese fled along the coastline to Fujian. At the end of the previous year, a group of Japanese robbers who gathered several forces captured the city of Xinghua in Fujian, which made the Ming court extremely angry.

The imperial court first dismissed the governor of Fujian, You Zhende, and reappointed Tan Lun as the governor of Fujian, and Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general, served as the general of Fujian, and Qi Jiguang, the deputy general of Zhejiang, led the Zhejiang soldiers to aid Fujian, and Liu Xian, the general soldier of Guangdong, led the two Guangzhou troops into Fujian.

The battle to recover Fuhua City did not go well at first, because Qi Jiguang wanted to recruit new soldiers to expand the Qi family's army, even if he invented the "light cake" to hurry, he did not arrive in Fuzhou until early April last year.

During this period, Ouyang Shen, the commander of Fujian, was killed in an ambush by the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese also occupied Pinghaiwei.

Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, first erected fences on various seaways to block the way back for the Japanese invaders, and then Tan Lun took Liu Xian as the left army, Yu Dayou as the right army, Tan Lun led the Chinese army by himself, and Qi Jiguang as the vanguard.

Qi Jiguang's first army ascended first, followed by the left and right armies, and then defeated the Japanese invaders, collected and rejuvenated, beheaded 2,200 people, rescued more than 3,000 plundered men and women, and the Japanese invaders were greatly injured and left.

On July 16, Tan Lun reported the great victory of Xinghua, with Qi Jiguang as the first merit, and entered the capital to supervise Tongzhi. Later, Liu Xian, the general soldier of Guangdong, was reappointed as the chief soldier of Langshan, Yu Dayou took over as the chief soldier of Guangdong, and Qi Jiguang took over as the general soldier of Fujian.

This remnant of Xinghua was not willing to fail, but has been wandering in Fujian, with the help of the Japanese from Japan, regrouping more than 10,000 people, and choosing to attack Xianyou County, Xinghua Prefecture.

Qi Jiguang led the troops to aid Xianyou County, and fought with the Japanese under the city, and the Japanese were defeated and ran to Tong'an. Qi Jiguang took advantage of the victory to pursue, led the troops to pursue to Wangcangping, beheaded hundreds of levels, and fell into the cliff valley.

Thousands of Yu Wei fled to Cai Piling in Zhangpu County, Qi Jiguang divided his soldiers and horses into five sentinels to attack, supervised the sentinels to fight to the death, rushed into the nest of the Wa, and captured hundreds of people until the Wakou scattered.

Last year, the problem of Fujian's Japanese plague was still extremely bad, but with the birth of the famous general Qi Jiguang, it caused a sudden and fundamental reversal of the situation in Fujian.

The good news came one after another, and almost at the same time, there was also a good news from Guangdong.

A group of Japanese pirates from Japan gathered on Nan'ao Island to invade Chaozhou, and Wu Chunfang, the governor of Liangguang, sent Yu Dayou, the general of Guangdong, to lead the territory and Han soldiers to attack the pirates in Haifeng County.

This group of Japanese who had just landed saw that the Guangdong side was so brave, and the Japanese who were behind chose to temporarily retreat to the sea, but they were capsized by the wind and waves at sea (destroyed by the combined fleet).

Yu Dayou, the general soldier of Guangdong, and Li Mu, the deputy general soldier, encircled and suppressed the remaining more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, captured and beheaded more than 1,200 people, and the rest fled to Chaozhou, where they were intercepted and killed by the generals of Chaozhou.

These gang of Japanese pirates who were preparing to attack Guangdong were almost wiped out, and they had successfully dispelled the arrogance of the Japanese pirates, and even greatly increased the prestige of the Ming army.

These two battle reports arrived at the military headquarters, and then were sent to the palace as soon as possible.

The problem that has plagued the southeast for decades seems to have been cured, and if the local officials had not had the audacity to falsely report their exploits, there would have been no trace of a large number of pirates in the southeast.

Yuan Wei hurriedly came out of Wanshou Palace, his whole face was full of eyebrows, and he was holding two good news in his hands.

If you want to talk about which court tycoon is most concerned about the affairs of the Japanese people, I am afraid that it is this second assistant who was born in Ningbo Mansion, and he very much hopes that the parents and villagers in the family can live a stable life.

The Ming Dynasty has been fighting with the Japanese Invaders for decades, but for many times, the Ming Dynasty was in a situation of passive beating, and was once killed by 53 Japanese Invaders to the city of Nanjing.

The battle of Wangjiangjing in the 34th year of Jiajing, beheading more than 1980 people, was already the biggest victory since the Jiajing Dynasty. Now that the two places have achieved such good results, how can Yuan Wei not feel excited, and the dark clouds of plague entrenched over his head seem to have been swept away.

Yuan Wei went straight to the cabinet room, and said excitedly to Xu Jie, who was preparing to play the ticket: "Lord Yuanfu, good news has come from Fujian and Guangdong, Fujian has cleared thousands of people in Xinghua, and Guangdong has killed nearly 2,000 Japanese robbers, and it is estimated that thousands of Japanese are hiding in the sea. ”

Xu Jie was dealing with the matter of the township examination examiner being sent to various places in batches, but when he heard this news, he was slightly stunned at first, and then responded calmly: "Maozhong, where did this news come from?" ”

"This is the good news that the Ministry of War has just sent to the palace, and the emperor asked me to bring it back to discuss with you!" Yuan Wei put the two good news on Xu Jie's desk and explained in a serious manner.

As "Chronicles of the Rising Capital" came to an end, Yuan Wei had more energy to share government affairs, and he won the emperor's full trust. Today's first master of Qingci is not the first assistant Xu Jie, but the second assistant Yuan Wei.

Just now, it was a coincidence that he happened to be talking to the emperor in the Wanshou Palace, and he got this good news from the military department, and the emperor asked him to bring it back to the cabinet directly for discussion.

Although Xu Jie was a native of Songjiang Mansion, he could hardly reach the city of Songjiang, so he was not overly enthusiastic about the affairs of the Japanese troubles, but was more concerned that the emperor would directly bring the good news back to Yuan Wei for discussion.

Although this move is not excessive, it can also be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to Yuan Wei, and maybe the emperor will directly replace his position with Yuan Wei in the future.

Xu Jie's heart seemed quite uncomfortable, but he pretended to pay attention to the good news, and seemed to read the two good news seriously, thus hiding his wariness of Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei naturally would not lie about such a major event, and the good news clearly stated the course of the battle and the number of Japanese killed this time. Especially on the Fujian side, the Ming army had almost no losses, and it had already killed the remnants of the Xinghua pirates.

"Lord Yuanfu, such a great achievement, we should be rewarded heavily!" Yuan Wei was on the rise, and immediately proposed.

The reason why it is mentioned to reward heavily: first, this suggestion is very consistent with the regulations that have always been clear rewards and punishments; The second is that he has long hated the Japanese troubles, and now he can be regarded as "repaying the favor by throwing peaches", regardless of personal gains and losses, helping these meritorious soldiers to invite merit.

Xu Jie gently put down the two pieces of good news, but said lightly: "This matter should be rewarded and punished like this, let it be discussed by the military department first!" ”

Repay the Lord with blessings, return the ministers with government affairs, and return the public with punishment and punishment. Under Xu Jie's two-cross governing philosophy, he now gets along amicably with the six Shangshu, and gradually wins the reputation of a virtuous minister.

Now that he encounters this matter, he also does not intend to make a direct decision in the cabinet, but wants to listen to the opinions of the Ministry of War, which can be regarded as giving full respect and power to Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"Lord Yuanfu, you don't have to listen to Yang Puzhou's opinion on this matter!" Yuan Wei's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with dissatisfaction.

Xu Jie raised his head and looked at Yuan Wei fixedly.
