Chapter 10 The Wind of the Nationman

The words are exquisite, and the words are chiseled.

There is not a single nonsense in the whole article, and it hits the nail on the head to point out the key to rectifying coastal defense.

After reading this "Rectification of Coastal Defense Strategy", Zhu Kun was shocked in his heart.

What is even more commendable is that such an article was written by a fifteen-year-old boy.

Yesterday, Xu Yan wrote poems on the Lanyue Tower, which made Zhu Kun have a good impression of him, but at that time he still felt that this young man was just brilliant. Now it seems that this young man not only has literary talent, but also has the heart to serve the country. It is really commendable to have such a style of national warrior at such a young age.

"Xu Xiaoyou's strategy has taught Ben Fu."

Zhu Yan's words startled Xu Yan. He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord Futai is really late. A late-born scholar, his shoulders can't resist, he can't help the wind, and he has no power to tie the chicken, except for writing this strategy, I really don't know what can help Lord Futai. ”

Who knew that Zhu Su shook his head and sighed: "Xu Xiaoyou is really too humble. Not to mention anything else, just your act of donating 3,000 stones of grain, Ben Fu feels that few people can do it. Such righteousness is really a model for the people. ”

Although Xu Yan thought that his face was thick enough, he still blushed a little for a while. It can be seen that Zhu Kun really admires him, and he must not let Zhu Kun down.

"Lord Futai, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not in my later life."

After hesitating again and again, Xu Yan still wanted to say what was in his heart.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhu Su bowed slightly.

"In the view of later life, the reason why thieves such as the Japanese Kou, Fanyi, and Fulangji can be so rampant is actually in collusion with the maritime merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang. In order to completely cut off this scourge, it is necessary to look not only outward, but also inward. Only by severing the connection between the Haikou and the maritime merchants can they be broken. ”

The key to Xu Yan's daring to directly point out the problem is because he knows Zhu Kun's personality. This person is not only an upright official, but also extremely responsible, and dares to make a move against local maritime and other interest groups.

"I've heard of this too."

Zhu Kun stroked his beard and said, "Let's talk about it, how to break the connection, and break each one." ”

Xu Yan had studied this in his previous life, and replied easily: "Haikou is an outsider, and if you want to gain a foothold in the local area, you must cooperate with local maritime businessmen. In other words, there must have been many representatives of local merchant families in these pirates' strongholds. ”

After a pause, seeing that Zhu Yan had no expression, Xu Yan continued: "If Futai wants to eradicate this stubborn disease, the first thing to do is to understand which maritime families are connected with it. After it is determined, what to do is not to startle the snake, but to send a dark pile to find out the news. These people are very vigilant, and if they find out, their previous efforts will be in vain. ”

"Go on."

"If these hidden piles can be mixed into the stronghold of the pirates, they can record important information such as the terrain of the island and even the docks, military camps, warehouses, etc., and then draw them into a map for Futai to analyze. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. Only by knowing the enemy well can Futai have the greatest confidence in annihilating these pirates in one fell swoop. ”

With the resources and troops at Zhu Kun's disposal, it is not impossible to storm the strongholds of various pirates. But if there are better ways to reduce losses, why not?

These Ming soldiers were all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they were all living people, and some were even about the same age as Xu Yan. In Xu Yan's opinion, it is still necessary to be responsible for their lives as much as possible.

"Xu Xiaoyou said that Benfu will consider it carefully."

Zhu Jun picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Xu Yan gave up his hand and said goodbye: "Lord Futai, retire in your later life!" ”

Coming out of the yamen, Xu Yan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Before he knew it, his chest and back were soaked, and there were a lot of beads of sweat on his forehead.

Although he was a human being in two lifetimes, this was the first time Xu Yan had talked face-to-face with a feudal official like the governor, and he was inevitably a little nervous.

However, he is quite satisfied with his performance today, and now a seed has been planted in Zhu Kun's heart. As for what this seed can grow, it is not up to Xu Yan to decide.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, it was said that Zhao Ruohai, the county magistrate, temporarily let the county government out to the governor Zhu Kun to live, and he moved to a separate courtyard.

He thought in his heart that if he served this big Buddha well, he would have a smooth career in the future, so he would naturally use all kinds of resources to serve Governor Zhu. Judging from the feedback given by Governor Zhu, he is indeed very satisfied with the reception work in Dinghai County.

Zhao Zhixian was naturally very proud, but said that he was just about to go out on this day, when he got the news that the governor planned to build a governor's office in Dinghai County, so that he could inspect and station in the future.

This frightened Zhao County.

It stands to reason that the residence of the governor of Zhejiang should undoubtedly be in Hangzhou. Even if the governor may inspect the place, it will take a maximum of ten days at a time, and there is no need to build a separate procuratorate. But what Governor Zhu meant, did he want to use Dinghai County as a permanent residence?

You must know that there is such a saying in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty: Three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng.

Dinghai County, where Zhao Zhi County is located, was not originally attached to Guo County, but if the governor made it a permanent residence, what was the difference between it and Fu Guo?

Thinking of the days when he was staggering, supplying hundreds of millions, and being tired of running for his life, Zhao Zhixian almost fainted to death.

But the governor's orders must be obeyed in any case. Zhao Zhixian can only hope that Governor Zhu will visit Dinghai County less in the future.

In addition, the person sent by Governor Zhu also handed over a letter to Zhao Zhixian.

After sending away Governor Zhu's cronies, he couldn't wait to take a look.

I saw that the letter had neatly copied an article entitled "Rectifying the Coastal Defense Strategy."

Zhao Zhixian only felt that this article was written incisively and to the point.

After all, he was born as a Jinshi, and he still has the ability to judge good articles. Looks like this was a plan from a strategist to the governor.

But why did the governor order a copy to be shown to him?

Zhao Zhixian continued to read, but found that there was a line of small text at the bottom of the article.

Dinghai County Xu Yan wrote.

Zhao Zhixian couldn't help but gasp.

This article turned out to be written by Xu Yan?

Zhao Zhixian prides himself on his outstanding literary talents, but the literary style of this article written by Xu Yan is not below him, and even sharper in some aspects. Doesn't this mean that Xu Yan's ability to write articles is already comparable to that of Jinshi?

If it had been placed a few days ago, Zhao Zhixian would probably not believe it.

But yesterday, Xu Yan made that Mingzhi poem in front of everyone, but it made Zhao Zhixian believe that this son has this ability.

"The seven-foot dragon pan soap thread, the widow knife hangs on the waist of the Han'er. To whom to get it in his hands, a hundred times to charge and roll the sea. ”

How can a man who composes such a heroic verse be an idle man?
