"Report ——!"

Everyone was talking and laughing in the house, but suddenly a regular soldier hurriedly ran in from outside the door, and when he arrived in front of Wang Zheng, he first made a military salute, and then shouted:

"Anton Wei urgent!"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng, who was greeting Zheng Hongkui, nodded, and said casually: "None of the people present are outsiders, just say anything out!" ”

The soldier looked around, hesitated for a long time, and said:

"Yu Dashuai, the Japanese invaders colluded with pirates to run rampant in several places in Haizhou, and the coastal trade routes were cut off, and the soldiers and civilians of Haizhou asked our Shandong army to send troops to resist the pirates and exterminate the Japanese invaders!"

After saying this, the atmosphere in the venue changed.

Haizhou belongs to the territory of Suzhou and Hangzhou, not at all in the territory of Shandong, the Shandong army governs Shandong but has no right to get involved in matters outside the province, it is necessary to report to the governor Yan Jizu first, and then the governor will ask the military department, and only after obtaining the authorization of the military department can the troops be dispatched.

In the Ming Dynasty, the provincial border is more solemn and sacred than the national border, if the soldiers and horses in a place do not have a good vision to blindly go out of bounds, at the lower level it is said that the military generals are making trouble without power, and if you think about it high, it is the crime of rebellion and rebellion against the imperial court!

In the past, in order to eliminate the Japanese as soon as possible, the Qi family army often galloped around to take it by surprise, and at that time there were military exploits that wanted to resist, but when it was liquidated later, it did not fall into trouble again and again in this matter.

Just thinking of this, the horse's hooves suddenly moved outside the door, and a group of people walked into the door, and at a glance, they saw Wang Zheng standing on the northernmost side, and the person at the head took out a token and said loudly:

"Bring Shang Fangjian, the governor's eight provinces to suppress thieves, and the military order of the Yang Pavilion Department of the Ministry of War, which is the Shandong General Soldier Wang Zheng!?"

is another big man, the current governor Yang Sichang, who is a celebrity in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Everyone in the venue said that this full moon banquet is really not simple, people from all sides gathered, the coastal Zheng family, the wealthy merchants of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the salt merchants of Haizhou, and now even the Yang Pavilion Department has come, but it seems that Yang Sichang is not here to congratulate, maybe he is just here to pass on the military order.

Having said that, although Yang Sichang was in charge of all matters related to the suppression of thieves, since the 5th Battalion of Gezuo was defeated by the Shandong Army last year, and Wang Zheng beheaded Ge Liyan and sent it to Beijing to report the victory, no thieves in Shandong dared to violate the border.

At this time, Yang Sichang suddenly had a military order arrive, and everyone couldn't help but think about it, I'm afraid that the situation in the Central Plains has deteriorated again?

Wang Zheng first put the soldier's urgent mail in his hand, and then respectfully bent over and hugged his fists:

"The last general of Shandong, Wang Zheng, received the military orders of the governors."

"Shandong General Soldier Wang Zheng and his Shandong soldiers, from the date of receiving the order, quickly return to Xiangyang, for one month, in order to wait for the victory of the army!"

Yang Sichang is already lacking in skills at the moment, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the contradiction between Zuo Liangyu and Yang Sichang to escape from the mountains and enter Henan, and for a while it was huge.

Zuo Liangyu's deliberate disobedience to military orders made Yang Sichang's painstaking plan of "four squares and six corners, ten sides spread the net" completely ruined, and the peasant army escaped from the encirclement one after another.

After the encirclement and suppression plan failed, Yang Sichang was unable to deal with the peasant army swarming everywhere for a while, so he had to start from the mentality, and ordered to exempt Luo Rucai, Ge Zuo Fifth Battalion and other rogues from the charges, and the provincial officials and troops took Zhang Xianzhong as the leader of the thieves, and they were rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and on the other hand, they left Xiangyang and personally led most of the officers and troops to chase after them.

This kind of reward is not high, but Luo Rucai and they don't eat this set at all, on the other hand, the imperial court has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and the civil and military forces everywhere are detached from morality, vying to follow Zuo Liangyu.

politely accepted the order, but did not say a word about the military order to assist in the suppression, did not fight, and those who did not move when they heard the alarm abounded.

Only Cao Bianjiao, Fierce as a Tiger, He Renlong, Li Guoqi and other general soldiers of several towns listened to the tune and led their troops to follow Yang Sichang to pursue Zhang Xianzhong, but Zhang Xianzhong fled south with all his heart, and the officials and soldiers couldn't catch up with them at all, and they were always separated by a few days.

Who would have thought that when Yang Sichang was chasing Zhang Xianzhong, he suddenly learned that he found a letter from a rogue outside his camp in Xiangyang, and the letter was deeply pierced into the wood with a short blade, saying that there was a person who beheaded Yang Sichang and was rewarded with three coins of silver.

This is already a naked contempt for the official army, Yang Sichang immediately vomited blood, suspected that someone had mixed into Xiangyang, and was very worried about the safety of Xiangyang, but he couldn't give up halfway in the pursuit of Zhang Xianzhong, and finally he thought of Wang Zheng, who had recently risen in the land of Qilu.

Wang Zheng's Shandong army was on the quiet side, and there were great victories in the surprise attack in Liaodong and when the fifth battalion of the revolution was transferred into Shandong, and it was thought that it should be able to hold Xiangyang when the army went out.

"The last general Wang Zheng, abide by the military orders of the governors, and the deadline is set!"

Seeing that Wang Zheng accepted the military order without hesitation, the anxious mood of the people who came was finally relieved, and then he suddenly remembered the matter of Wang Zheng's sister-in-law's full moon banquet, and he also smiled and said:

"The military situation is urgent, and I didn't buy any gifts when I came, only a few words of verbal blessings, and I ask Wang Dashuai to forgive me."

"This military order is the best gift to Wang, the Shandong army has long been gearing up to do a big job, how can the Central Plains let the young people run rampant, Mr. doesn't need to mention it."

Hearing Wang Zheng say this, the people who came were quite happy, thinking that this Wang Dashuai of Shandong did not look as unreasonable as the rumors, and he respected himself so much, he must also be a good man who values love and righteousness.

After these people left, the atmosphere in the field gradually warmed up, there were many Haizhou salt merchants and Suzhou and Hangzhou merchants here, all of whom were rich and luxurious people in the world, and originally thought that the Shandong army could send troops to take a hand, but when they heard this, they actually wanted to go north immediately to suppress the thieves.

Seeing these businessmen getting together and exchanging glances with each other, Wang Zheng didn't say anything, and said directly:

"Say whatever you want!"

Those people exchanged a few glances at each other, and felt that Jining and the Shandong Army had a deep deal, and finally pushed the shopkeeper Hao out.

However, the shopkeeper Hao is not as good as before, he used to speak with the tone of equality and elders of the family, but at this time, he no longer dared to speak like that, and said cautiously:

"The marshal really wants to take Yang Sichang's military order to go north?"

"That's natural, as a military general of the imperial court, how dare the governor disobey the order!"

After saying this, the shopkeeper Hao couldn't figure it out, with Wang Zheng's previous methods of doing things, he wouldn't be able to see that this was a deal that was safe and unprofitable, how could he be so active in wading through this troubled water.

At the moment, he also asked tentatively:

"The marshal has a loyal heart and doesn't care about the business and transaction, but he wants to abandon me, and abandon thousands of Haizhou soldiers and civilians?"

Shopkeeper Hao said, and squeezed out a few muddy tears from the old face, which looked extremely miserable, which made Wang Zheng a little surprised, and said:

"Shopkeeper Hao, why is this, why did Wang say this?"

"If the current marshal doesn't help with volunteers, I'm afraid that the salt industry and the trading and transportation on the ground will be affected, and we and the Shandong army will suffer heavy losses!"

Shopkeeper Hao was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately after playing the emotional card, he came to add oil and vinegar, who would have thought that it would really have some miraculous effects, Wang Zheng actually nodded thoughtfully.

A Haizhou salt merchant couldn't help but say:

"Since the marshal intends to send troops, the villains will get straight to the point!"

"We don't know how much money and food the Shandong soldiers will spend after they arrive in Haizhou, the marshal should give a letter first, and the small ones can go back to the city and prepare with the colleagues of the Chamber of Commerce!"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's eyes lit up.

In fact, he didn't pay too much attention to the pirates and pirates, as early as Dengzhou, the Shandong army had a lot of contact with these thieves, most of them were Han people who went to sea, and there were few real Japanese at all, and their combat effectiveness was very limited.

Now the Shandong army has to use silver everywhere, and this time the troops will definitely be spent in large quantities, why not give this face, send some people to stabilize Haizhou, and take this opportunity to knock on a sum by the way, why not do it.
