Chapter 572: Worry
As early as last year, when Qian Yuan returned to Beijing, he vaguely mentioned that even if Hu Zongxian succeeded in killing Xu Hai and appeasing Wang Zhi, the remnants of the Japanese were likely to flee to Fujian to continue the rebellion.
But Emperor Jiajing, who was eager to win, did not listen, and the truth was really as Qian Yuan predicted, and now Fujian was in a mess by the Japanese invaders.
The pirates led by Ye Zongman and Wang Qingxi are now in great strength, and after seeing the government trade in Zhenhai Hou Taoshan, they invaded Fujian Province several times within half a year...... In terms of going to the sea to the South Seas, Fujian is more convenient than Zhejiang.
What's worse is that Ye Zongman recruited a lot of real widows, after Xu Hai's death, these ronins armed with katanas did not decline, and Wang Zhi, who was determined to be a serious maritime merchant, did not need too much force, he only needed to ensure the safety of the ship's shipping.
What's even worse is that the Fujian soldiers have never been able to fight, but they are quite good at internal strife, and Yang Yi, the second governor of Zhejiang, was unlucky because of the private fight between the Fujian guest soldiers and the Shandong guest soldiers, but a Shandong counselor was stabbed to death in the street.
In just a few months, Fuzhou, Funing, Xinghua, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou along the coast of Fujian were all plundered by the Japanese invaders, and even the inland Yanping and Jianning prefectures could not escape their fate.
Qi Jiguang pursued and suppressed only two or three hundred Japanese who fled into Fujian, and as a result, they slaughtered in Funing Prefecture, defeated the official army one after another, and even attacked the west into Jianning Mansion, which was a tragic situation...... The number of criminals in the Fujian Metropolitan Command Newspaper was not less than 3,000.
The battle damage data that has been reported to Beijing is that two generals were killed in battle, four guerrillas, a total of a number of generals, and 3,000 soldiers were lost...... But this kind of data, everyone knows that there is moisture.
Just two days ago, the Ministry of War sent a letter to the middle of the matter, proposing to set up a new governor of Fujian to be a full-time governor to suppress the Japanese.
Thinking that although Zhejiang and Su Song were quiet, but the flames of the war in the southeast were burning in Fujian, and it might involve Guangdong in the future, Emperor Jiajing's brows couldn't help but furrow tightly, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
Regardless of the rest, it seems that it is imperative to set up a governor of Fujian, Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes and unconsciously glanced at it a few times, and suddenly said: "Wen Chang, the civil and military officials in the southeast, regardless of their official position, only talk about talent, how to evaluate?" ”
Xu Wei hesitated: "For such a big matter, Your Majesty should consult the cabinet." ”
"Say."
"Yes." Xu Wei quickly counted one or two things in his mind before he spoke: "In terms of civil officials, the first is Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, the second is Wu Weixi, the governor of Zhejiang, and then Tan Zili, the prefect of Taizhou, Tang Jingchuan, the prefect of Ningbo, and Wang Chonggu, the governor of Suzhou. ”
Huang Jin glanced at Emperor Jiajing, who was silent, and turned his head and asked, "What about the generals?" ”
"Yu Dayou, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, and Qi Jiguang, the deputy chief soldier, are tied, followed by Dong Bangzheng, the chief soldier of Wusong, and Lu Bin, the general of Ning Shaotai, ......"
As he spoke, Xu Wei suddenly stopped, and Huang Jin smiled: "Wen Chang is so cautious. ”
The next few names have also been in the ears of Emperor Jiajing in the past few months, such as Qi Jimei, Hou Jigao, Yang Wen and so on.
"Remember that guerrilla surnamed Yang is a subordinate of Zhancai?" Huang Jin asked curiously.
"Yes, Yang Wen, a native of Taizhou, skilled in martial arts, has a strategy, Jiajing was rescued by Zhancai in the thirty-second year, and then formed a guard headed by this person, and all the wars have been won, leading the army to pursue the Japanese for thousands of miles, and it is this person who is in charge of the army." Xu Wei explained: "Zhancai's guards were transferred to the army, but the letter mentioned that only Yang Wen would stay in the army, and the rest would return to the Qian family when the rebellion subsided." ”
"It's just one or two hundred guards, but he has a lot of thoughts." Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Qi Jiguang...... Yu Dayou ......"
After a pause, Emperor Jiajing scolded with a smile, "Putting Hu Ruzhen in the first place shows that Wen Chang is open-minded, but he has no money to show his talents, which shows that Wen Chang is selfish." ”
Xu Wei smiled and didn't say anything, every letter Qian Yuan sent to Beijing focused on one thing repeatedly, Zhejiang patrol, this position must not be lost.
Qian Yuan has been in the government for two years, and he is not qualified to lead a party, let alone the governor of a province, it is impossible to be in charge of a government, so he can only control the overall situation as a governor of the imperial history.
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand to rebuke Xu Wei, and said to Huang Jin with a smile: "If Zhan is only ten years older, I would like to simply let him go to Fujian." ”
Huang Jin is not very easy to talk about, if Qian Yuan is really ten years older, with this person to suppress the governor of Zhejiang, envelop the governor of Zhejiang, and semi-control the means of the army, I am afraid that His Majesty will not use it.
"What the emperor said is that Zhancai is only thirty out of twenty this year." Huang Jin said with a smile: "But the emperor's cultivation is deepening, and he can wait for his talents." ”
Emperor Jiajing nodded again and again, waved his hand, and said, "Go and call the Blue Immortal!" ”
After leaving Xiyuan, Xu Wei returned to Suiyuan as soon as possible, flipped through and wrote the next secret letter, and asked Liu Hong to send guards out of Beijing immediately.
Emperor Jiajing asked Xu Wei to comment on the southeastern officials, there is no doubt that this is to transfer people to Fujian, among the civil officials, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, is unlikely, Wu Baipeng, Tan Lun, and Tang Shunzhi are all possible, and these three people have close ties with Qian Yuan.
Military generals are even more so, Yu Dayou and Qian Yuan have a good relationship, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, Lu Bin and others are all descendants of Qian Yuan, once transferred, Qian Yuan will have fewer people to use.
Will this affect Qian Yuan's plans in Zhenhai...... Definitely!
Xu Wei estimated in his heart for a while, and couldn't help sighing, Zhancai was in the midst of a pack of wolves, this move was tantamount to playing with fire by the side of oil, and if it was not good, he would be burned in flames.
"You're not going to Fujian, are you?"
The questioner was Qian Zheng, who had just returned from the release of the government, as a political envoy, he was the most well-informed, and the Japanese people in Fujian were making a lot of trouble, and the military department wrote a letter to propose the establishment of a new governor of Fujian.
Qian Yuan is not qualified to serve as the governor of Fujian, but it is possible that he will be transferred...... After all, everyone knows that although Qian Yuan is not in charge of the army, he has repeatedly gone into battle and has made great military achievements.
"Probably not." Xu Wei shook his head, if His Majesty had this thought, he would not say that he had a private ...... Speaking of which, it is unlikely that Qian Yuan will be transferred.
After a pause, Xu Wei sighed: "But next ......"
"What?" Qian Zheng's heart tightened, "Troublesome? ”
Xu Wei licked his dry lips, his gaze wandered, and only after half a sound did he say, "This matter has been planned for a long time...... By the way, can there be a scientific and Taoist official who impeached Zhancai to rashly trade? ”
Qian Zheng stared at Xu Wei tightly, before his nephew left Beijing, he entrusted everything in Suiyuan to Xu Wei, and there were frequent secret letters, and even many letters were sent to Xiyuan by Xu Wei.
If anyone knows about Qian Yuan's affairs in the southeast, there is no doubt that it can only be Xu Wei.
After a long while, Qian Zheng said slowly: "In August, there was an impeachment exhibition in the imperial history to collude with the Japanese invaders, but no one responded, and since then, there has been no change. ”
Yan Shifan is not very powerful, Xu Wei frowned and calculated in his heart, there are many Xu rank henchmen in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments, although Yan Dang does not interfere, but it is not that there is no manpower to use.
But it's still too late, and Zhancai's side hasn't finished arranging it...... It should be said that the arrangement has been completed, and this pit has been dug, but Zhan Cai thinks that this pit is not big enough, and wants to kick a few more people down.
Now, Xu Wei's only concern is that the pit will undoubtedly make the gang in the capital fall, but in the southeast, will it cause the fish to die and the net will break.
