In the early morning of the first day of the fifth lunar month, when the news reached the governor's yamen, Zhao Zhenji, who had rarely smiled in the past two months, jumped up and shouted.

"It's really a resurgence of trouble!"

Master Huang looked down at the official document in his hand, "It was sent by the Xiangshan County Ya, on the night of April 29, the Japanese invaded Xiangshan, and the Qiancang and Juexi could not stop it. ”

"How many pirates?"

Master Huang snorted, "The original text is countless. ”

Zhao Zhenji thought for a moment and ordered: "Set off immediately and go to Xiangshan!" ”

Master Huang followed behind and reminded: "Dong Weng, Dong Weng, Xiangshan County belongs to Ningbo Prefecture......

Zhao Zhenji paused, his face was a little ugly, he hesitated for a while and didn't say a word, the kick two months ago made him unforgettable.

Master Huang handed over a ladder at the right time, "Ningbo Prefect Tang Jingchuan is now in Zhenhai. ”

Tang Shunzhi and Zhao Zhenji have a relationship, the former lived in Xiangzi back then, and often exchanged letters with Zhao Zhenji.

After the victory of Chongde that year, the big family who was extorted out of the silver sued Qian Yuan to Nanjing, and Zhao Zhenji, who was in the household department of Nanjing at the time, was quite disdainful of Qian Yuan, and Tang Shunzhi wrote a letter to say that he agreed.

Zhao Zhenji nodded slightly, and strode out of the study, "Just bring a dozen servants, and the rest of the people will go over in batches, don't let people find out." ”

Master Huang immediately went to arrange it and let the people below sneak over, obviously it was not a good calculation, but Zhenhai was Qian Zhancai's territory, and he had to do this if he wanted to find out the news.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of effort for the governor to travel, but Zhao Zhenji went to the dock almost without stopping, and set sail east after two quarters of an hour.

The news of the Xiangshan Rebellion reached the governor's yamen, although it was deliberate, but almost at the same time, the governor's palace also received the news.

Hu Zongxian is now far away from the front line of Chuzhou to supervise the war, and those who remain in the governor's palace are Wang Yin and Shen Mingchen.

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Leave it to the ...... Zhancai"

"It must be a ...... to show talents"

Shen Mingchen said with a smile: "Xiangshan Island is divided into two, and most of it is Xiangshan County? Belonging to Ningbo Prefecture? The small half is included in Ninghai County and belongs to Taizhou Prefecture? Whether it's Ningbo or Taizhou? should let Zhancai go to ......"

"It's not just that." Wang Yin shook his head and said: "Lumen Gong is also a two-rank jinshi, how many military exploits did he have in the past?" Zeng sighed that he was so generous.

Since October last year, Zhancai has built a large number of warships in Taizhou and Ningbo? Among them, there are many Daifuku ships? Taizhou commander Ge Hao now has more than 100 warships, complete firearms, and properly trained soldiers, and now even if he meets Wang Zhi, he has the strength to fight. ”

"With such a sailor's protection? There are countless Japanese invaders who have invaded Xiangshan...... There's a lot of fun in that. ”

"What's more? Over the past year or so, Qi Yuanjing, Lu Bin, Qi Jimei, Yang Wen, Hou Jigao, and even Zhang Yuanxun and Ge Hao under the command of the Taizhou prefect have successively attacked and suppressed the Japanese ...... This is also the reason why the Japanese invaded Fujian, which of the Japanese leaders had a bad brain and went to Xiangshan to make trouble? ”

"Could it be that the reputation of Qian beheading is now unknown?"

"There must be an inside story about this." Wang Yin said categorically: "Let's not mix!" ”

Shen Mingchen nodded approvingly, "If Wang Zhi is making trouble?" The most urgent thing will only be to show talents! ”

They all joined Hu Zongxian's shogunate when Hu Zongxian was the governor of Zhejiang, or even when he was the prefect of Hangzhou? The situation in the south-east could not be clearer.

Hu Zongxian said that he was the governor of Zhejiang, but in fact, his jurisdiction was mainly in Zhejiang Province? Su Song's side is a bit of a listener and doesn't listen to the announcement, and other places are only promoting the compilation at most.

And Zhejiang Province? Qian Yuan has been defeated in Jiaxing Mansion three times? Twice in Shaoxing Mansion emergency aid Shanyin Huiji, Shangyu? Therefore, among these two prefectures, Qian Yuan has quite a strong influence, but these two prefectures are bordered by Hangzhou Prefecture, and Qian Yuan has never stretched out his hand.

However, Taizhou Mansion and Ningbo Mansion are different, the two prefectures go up to the Mansion Yin, Tongzhi, and Tuiguan, and the county, the family, and the leading generals, down to the common people, merchants, and ordinary soldiers, Qian Yuan has a strong degree of control.

It has been nearly a year since Wang Zhi officially came to the town customs last year, and Hu Ruzhen has never set foot in Ningbo and Taizhou, which has already shown his attitude.

For example, newcomers like Zhao Zhenji, who have been here for less than half a year, how can they know Qian Yuan's confidence in these two mansions.

Set off early in the morning, down the river, at dusk Zhao Zhenji and his entourage had arrived outside Zhenhai City.

"It's really as rumored to come, like flying to a city!" Master Huang looked at the busy shore and couldn't help but praise: "Although it is slightly smaller, it will not let Linqing go!" ”

This evaluation is not high, Linqing is not famous in later generations, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, relying on the canal and prospering, it is the most prosperous place in the world.

Zhao Zhenji glanced at the dock expressionlessly, and unexpectedly did not see Qian Yuan, but Zhao Zhenji, the prefect of Ningbo, Song Jizu, and Sun Piyang, the magistrate of Zhenhai, and the officials came out to greet him.

"Jingchuan Gong, it's been a long time since I've been saying goodbye."

A smile squeezed out of Tang Shunzhi's thin face, "Meng Jing, the last time we saw each other was in the twentieth year of Jiajing, and at the right time, Meng Jing returned to Beijing after sending Lanzhou to hold the canonization, which coincided with the return to Beijing at that time. ”

"After a farewell of seventeen years, now goodbye, they are all white-headed and shorter, and they are full of desire." Zhao Zhenji looked forward to the left and right, and said with emotion: "Seeing such prosperity, it can be seen that the ability of Jingchuan Gong should enter Beijing to help the princes and set the great cause of the society." ”

Tang Shunzhi smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and said: "The stone road was completed in early April, and there are many merchants coming and going. ”

The smile on Zhao Zhenji's face also faded, and he walked down the dock without saying a word.

Sun Pi on the side looked at his nose and nose, but he was quite disdainful in his heart, he was Tang Shunzhi and Qian Yuan's most powerful assistant in Zhenhai, and he was very clear about what happened in the past two months.

Zhao Zhenji clearly dug the foot of the wall and took out the bargaining chips to promote him to Beijing, but he himself was indifferent to trade and did not understand anything.

In April, Zhenhai was sent to the Tai warehouse and the inner carrier warehouse with a total of more than 370,000 taels of silver and 25,000 stones.

What is this concept?

In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, the household department put a total of 2 million taels of silver into storage, and Zhenhai alone only spent less than half a year, accounting for more than 20%.

Qian Yuan said in private, from the prefect of Ningbo to the governor of Tongzhi, to the magistrate, and then to the magistrate of Zhenhai...... Without His Majesty's orders, no one dares to grab these positions, and they can't take them away!

wants to promote Tang Jingchuan to Beijing, Xu Jie really doesn't have that ability!

Sun Piyang followed Tang Shunzhi and Zhao Zhenji down the dock, and when he was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly heard Zhao Zhenji sigh.

"Is that a military village? Who's stationed? ”

Although the distance is not close, across the river, you can still faintly see the black pressure of the crowd, you can see the cold light of the sunset on the blade, and the boats are shuttling back and forth, and there are many big men with swords and guns on the boats.

Tang Shunzhi's expression was indifferent but he didn't answer, and after a pause, Sun Piyang said: "That's Jinji Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is Zhaobao Village. ”

"With a knife and a gun, the merchant dares to go to Zhenhai?"

Sun Piyang smiled and said, "Today, adults are inspecting Zhenhai, so naturally we must be careful and vigilant. ”

Zhao Zhenji glanced at Sun Piyang and got into the carriage without saying a word.

has made it clear enough, it is naturally calm on weekdays, it was you Zhao Zhenji who suddenly drove to Zhenhai, and Wang Zhicai was armed and guarded...... I'm afraid of being yin by you again!

Tang Shunzhi sighed in his heart, when we meet again after seventeen years, you and I are no longer the old view.
