"Hey, little ancestor......"

Huang Jin bent down and trotted all the way, picking up the lion cat that was spreading joy on the map, this one was obviously much more lively than the previous one, in the words of Emperor Jiajing, his temperament was a bit like Zhancai's killing talent.

Sending the lion cat outside the door for the little eunuch to watch, Huang Jin happened to hear Xu Wei's words when he returned to the palace, and couldn't help grinning.

"There are good and bad things in Xu Hai's gathering of the Japanese Kou...... There are actually benefits" Huang Jin easily changed a cup of hot tea for Emperor Jiajing, "Emperor, I have never heard of this kind of thing." ”

"You know what!" Emperor Jiajing, who was leaning on the couch, snorted, "Only when the Japanese are gathered can they be surrounded and annihilated." ”

"Your Majesty is wise, in a word." Xu Wei said with a smile: "In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Xu Hai gathered the Japanese twice, sometimes more than 10,000 people, and when there were 6 or 7,000 people.

This year, Xu Hai led the Japanese invaders to Shaoxing Mansion, and the main force of 4,000 Japanese invaders under his command, plus the stragglers, the total strength exceeded 6,000.

If these pirates plundered in hundreds, or even hundreds, or even hundreds, and in a hundred......"

The good news said that Xu Hai had nearly 10,000 under his command, but in fact there were only 6,000, but Emperor Jiajing didn't care about these kittens, and said in a deep voice: "That's not just the southeast coast." ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that Changzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou and even Jiangxi will be invaded by the Japanese invaders." Xu Wei nodded and said: "Therefore, Xu Hai gathered the Japanese Kou, although they were organized and trained into an army and their combat power was extraordinary, but they also gave Yu Zhifu and Qi Yuanjing the opportunity to encircle and annihilate." ”

In fact, just this year, the Japanese invaded Yangzhou again, and they were about to kill Fengyang Mansion, and Emperor Jiajing reprimanded Hu Zongxian, and the words "both soothing and suppressing" appeared for the first time in the will.

This is why Hu Zongxian appeased Wang Zhi, but unfortunately there is a sentence behind "both appeasement and suppression", "Don't let the thief escape", which also became a major weapon for the later Taoist officials to impeach Hu Zongxian.

Xu Wei sighed: "This is also the reason why Zhancai and Hu Ruzhen have a gap. ”

"Hmm" Emperor Jiajing was surprised, he knew very well that Qian Yuan had great support for Hu Zongxian in the previous two years, and regarded him as the best candidate for the southeast to suppress the Japanese, but he didn't expect that after the great victory, he turned his back.

"In the first month of this year, Hu Ruzhen inspected Taizhou Mansion, discussed with Zhancai in Linhai County, set the overall situation, strangled Xu Hai, and appeased Wang Zhi."

"Due to the unfavorable naval battle of the official army and naval division, Zhancai decided to lure Xu Hai to attack the three prefectures of Ningshaotai, and the official army was light in front and heavy in the back, cutting off its back road and forcing it to fight a decisive battle."

"In the months that followed, they recruited troops, built ordnance, supplied food, built ships, and deployed troops, all with this goal in mind."

"This ...... What does it have to do with Zhancai and Hu Ruzhen's gap" Huang Jin was ignorant, there were only three people in the hall, and he didn't shy away from asking directly: "Wen Chang, it's a long way off." ”

Emperor Jiajing was silent, his fingers rubbing slightly, as if he had thought of something.

The next moment, Xu Wei said the answer, "Hu Ruzhen is grabbing credit." ”

Huang Jin still didn't understand, but Emperor Jiajing understood, and said quietly: "Remember last year, Zhancai once said that there is eyeliner buried next to Xu Hai......"

"It is true." Xu Wei sighed: "This person's status under Xu Hai is not low, and it is precisely because of this person that Zhancai has the plan to lure Xu Hai to attack the three prefectures of Ningshaotai, which also means...... The overall situation of the southeast is formulated by Zhancai. ”

"Hu Ruzhen is a person who has power and strategy, has a city government, knows military opportunities, and is narrow, although he is not interested in showing his talents, Hu Ruzhen is not willing to do this...... Only then can there be a move to grab credit. ”

"Grabbing merit" Emperor Jiajing repeated, a little irritable in his heart, "Say it clearly." ”

Xu Wei pointed to the map in his hand, "On the fourth day of the fifth month, Zhancai personally led Qi Jimei to aid Shangyu, with the Qian family's guards as the vanguard, and broke the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

Seeing that Huang Jin was still confused, Xu Wei added: "The main force of the Japanese invaders appeared, and Hu Ruzhen transferred Qi Jiguang, the deputy general of Zhejiang, and Liu Xian, the general of eastern Zhejiang, to rush to Shangyu for a decisive battle. ”

Emperor Jiajing shook his head slightly, not agreeing with Xu Wei's statement...... As the governor of Zhejiang, the war was about to start, Hu Ruzhen rushed to the battlefield, showing his courage, you must know that no one could be sure at that time that Qi Jiguang could break the enemy in one fell swoop.

"However, Hu Ruzhen is preparing to enter Shangyu County, but it is a pity that Zhancai led Qi Jimei's department to camp on the other side of the Yao River." Xu Wei pointed to Yao Jiang on the map, "For this reason, the staff of the Governor's Mansion complained about Zhancai, and on the second day, the Japanese invaded the city, and Shangyu County was crumbling. ”

"Fortunately, Zhancai set up an ambush the day before, selected warriors in the army, added more than 100 Qian family guards, wore armor, carried double swords in the mountains, and suddenly attacked, swept away the siege of the Japanese in two quarters of an hour, killed hundreds, and greatly frustrated the spirit of the Japanese invaders."

"After that, Qi Jiguang led his troops to come to the rescue, defeated the main force of the Japanese in three quarters of an hour, and Xu Hai led more than 1,000 Japanese to the north."

"Sun Piyang of Shangyu Zhixian pursued with the army and was reprimanded by Hu Ruzhen and rushed back." Xu Wei glanced at Emperor Jiajing, and said in an accentuated tone: "Liu Xian, the general of eastern Zhejiang, led an army of 4,000 to cut off the retreat of the Japanese in the north, Xu Hai easily broke the formation, and Sun Piyang scolded Liu Xian......"

Emperor Jiajing frowned, this matter was mentioned in the good news, only saying that Liu Xian led the army to intercept it, killing and wounding a lot, and Xu Hai escaped by luck.

"Hu Ruzhen ordered Liu Xian to pursue at night, not far from the town of Uranfeng......" Xu Wei pointed to the map, "was ambushed by Xu Hai, the official army was defeated, and Liu Xian was only spared." ”

It is normal for the military report handed down below to be greasy, but Emperor Jiajing did not expect another big defeat.

"If it weren't for the scouts sent by Yu Dayou, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, to tell him to set up an ambush on the way from Ufeng Town to Lihai, I am afraid that Xu Hai will lead more than 1,000 Japanese robbers to escape from the sea, although his strength will be greatly damaged, but he will resurge."

Emperor Jiajing still shook his head slightly this time, this is reasonable, he also knew that Liu Xian was Hu Zongxian's confidant general, and he handed over the task of exterminating the remnants and killing Xu Hai to Liu Xian, and Hu Zongxian barely counted the merit...... But as the governor of Zhejiang, this is within his power.

"Your Majesty, the southeast war situation is planned by Zhancai, and Qi Jiguang, Lu Bin, and Qi Jimei recruit troops, and it is Zhancai who vigorously assists."

"Shangyu was victorious, Zhancai first made the guards to investigate the military situation, got the position of the main force of the Japanese invaders, and personally led a large army to aid Shangyu, attacked twice, and tried to protect the city, and even Yu Dayou exterminated the remnants, and also had the help of Zhan Cai."

"And Hu Ruzhen ......"

Xu Wei paused, spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "So, Xu Hai fled, and Hu Ruzhen wanted to start a war with Wang Zhi." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing finally realized that in this great victory in Shangyu, Qian Yuan accounted for too much of it, so big that Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, was unwilling.

Therefore, Hu Zongxian hoped to overwhelm Qian Yuan by exterminating Wang Zhi's military exploits.

This is the fundamental reason why Hu Zongxian and Qian Yuan have contradictions...... Hu Zongxian thinks very highly of himself, how can he be willing to be a foil for Qian Yuan

"Wang Zhi ......" Emperor Jiajing hesitated, "Last year, the court heard that Hu Ruzhen had appeased Wang Zhi, and there was a big turmoil, if it can be decided in a war, it is also a good thing." ”

"There can be no one battle." Xu Wei said categorically: "Wang Zhi's troops are far more than Xu Hai, you must know that this person occupies a very wide area in the Japanese country and has far-reaching connections, once the war starts, tens of thousands of Japanese will invade the southeast." ”

"The most important thing is that Wang Zhi can only control his direct subordinates, and the tens of thousands of Japanese robbers are likely to plunder in small shares, and the southeast will be full of beacons, as far as Tongzhou in the north, and Fujian and Guangdong in the south......"

Huang Jin blinked, "No wonder I said before that it would be beneficial for Xu Hai to gather the Japanese Kou......"

Xu Wei's words were reserved, but unfortunately he was facing probably the smartest emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Jiajing was not as shallow as Huang Jin's eye sockets.

"Zhancai never forgets to open the sea and ban trade." Emperor Jiajing sighed, "Presumably Wen Chang also knows." ”
