When Zhu Kun and Fu Liang arrived at Zheng's mansion, it was the moment when Xu Wei fell to the ground like a dead pig, his life and death were unknown, his clothes were soaked, and his hair was stained as if he had just been washed and had not been wiped, if it weren't for the ups and downs of his chest and abdomen, he could still show his vital signs, I was afraid that he would be carried to the mass grave to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon, and Zheng Yong, who was about to go to the city defense camp to report after the morning exercise, looked at Xu Wei with pity and left quietly.

When he received the post, Zheng Guang was still a little curious, who else would visit him at this time? Looking at the name, Zhu Kun, Zheng Guang's eyes suddenly widened.

Zheng Guang actually didn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty, but because of the turmoil in the south and north of the Jiajing period, he had some special interest in that time, and he was more curious about legendary figures such as Xu Jie, Yan Song, and Qi Jiguang, so he did some understanding, and then learned about some of the influential figures, it just so happened that there were two people that Zheng Guang couldn't forget, one was called Zeng Milling, and the other was called Zhu Kun.

The former, determined to restore the Hetao Corridor, advocated a strong attack on the Mongols, so that they could no longer easily go deep into the interior to plunder the Ming people, dedicated to the country and the people, brilliant military achievements, and extremely good at using firearms, repeatedly used firearms to beat the Mongols to heavy losses, so that the Mongols were extremely afraid of this governor, he was a person that Zheng Guang admired very much, if possible, Zheng Guang would even look forward to learning from him to learn new firearms and use firearms to fight.

The overall strategy is to first exterminate the Japanese invaders, annihilate the traitors, clean up all the big households in the southeast who are behind the scenes, and stabilize the coastal order, and then open the sea ban, reshape the maritime order of the Ming Dynasty, stabilize the money bags of the Ming Dynasty, and think about the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Jiajing himself wholeheartedly.

In all fairness, these two people are dedicated to the country, not for personal gain, they are rare officials in the Jiajing Dynasty, and they are both precious literati generals, and they are absolutely unattainable talents in the Great Song Dynasty, but the ending of the two is very miserable, which makes people regret, and it is the successive deaths of these two people that brought almost immediate pain to Daming.

The death of the former, so that the nine sides no longer forge ahead, the Ming Dynasty has been pressed and beaten by Mongolia since then, and no one has ever saved the people who are wailing miserably under the iron hooves of Mongolia, and finally caused the Jiajing 29 years of Jiajing to reach the city of Beijing to burn and loot the incident, comparable to the second Tumubao Change, the Ming Dynasty lost face.

The death of the latter directly caused the climax of the Jiajing Great War, and the situation in the southeast was irremediable, and it was not until later that Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other famous generals in the north went south, and the Jiajing Emperor finally recognized the reality under the pressure of the touching southeast tax revenue and the imperial court's financial deficit, and the situation changed.

And now, Zhu Kun, one of the two tragic ministers, is actually outside his mansion, and he wants to see him very politely, so how can Zheng Guang not be excited? Moreover, at this moment, Zheng Guang realized that the governor of Su Song sent by the imperial court was outside the door, and it was Zhu Kun.

"Please...... No! I'll personally go and please! Zheng Guang hurriedly rushed into the house, tidied up his appearance, changed his clothes, and rushed out of the house only to remember that Zhu Kun's reputation in the southeast was not obvious, and he had no reason to know him, such an unusual enthusiasm would make Zhu Kun suspicious, so Zheng Guang forcibly calmed himself down, walked out with a slow pace, and ignored Xu Fat, who was lying on the ground like a dead pig.

At the door of the house, Zheng Guang saw two people, a middle-aged man, wearing simple clothes, a wisp of beard, a thin face, and his body bones were not very strong, and a scribe in a Confucian robe next to him, about twenty or thirty years old, with a pair of eyes shining, looking very special, looking like a military advisor, think about it, Fan Qing also has a dog-headed military advisor by his side, not to mention these people who have been entrusted with important responsibilities, they are definitely wise men.

"In Xia Zhengguang, I don't know who the two distinguished guests are?" Zheng Guang stood at the door, very polite to the two "guests" who met for the first time, Zhu Kun saw Zheng Guang's sword eyebrows, handsome face, tall figure, and personally went out to greet him, and did not slack off because of his identity, he suddenly had a good impression, and then went straight to the point: "The famous Suzhou writer, I am afraid that everyone in the southeast is already known to everyone, the old man Su Song Governor Zhu Kun, this is the old man's think tank, Sun Ting, Sun Fuliang." ”

Zheng Guang made a look with round eyes, and then quickly reacted and saluted again: "There is only one person in the next place, how can he let Governor Su Song come to the next house in person?" If Futai wants to see him, just send someone to shout, why bother to come in person. ”

Zhu Kun smiled and shook his head: "Ordinary ordinary people naturally send people to summon people, but there are talented people, people who need help from the old man, naturally they have to come to the door in person, and when the ancients need to ask for help, they have to come to the door in person to express their sincerity, and now, the sincerity of the old man has been brought, just look at how the Suzhou writers look at it." ”

Zheng Guang smiled, leaned sideways, and stretched out his arm: "Futai and Mr. Sun, please come into the mansion first, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

Zhu Su nodded and said: "We all live in Suzhou City, although the old man is from Changzhou County, and you are from Wu County, but they belong to the same city, which is extremely rare, don't be restrained." After speaking, he took Sun Ting into the house with a smile, Zheng Guang didn't expect Zhu Kun to be also from Suzhou, so he hurriedly followed, in the lobby, the three of them sit, Zheng Guang called the servant to serve tea, and took the initiative to say: "Small family, there is nothing good to entertain Futai, these teas can barely be handled, please forgive Futai." ”

Zhu Kun looked around at the decoration of the Zheng Mansion, and said with a smile: "Although the Zheng family is not a rich and noble family, it is also a solid family, so how can we talk about small families?" One door and three letters, but it is by no means a small household, Pingzhi probably doesn't know, the old man lived a difficult life when he was a child, was born in prison, and suffered everything, and the first time he drank tea was after the eighteen-year-old examination, so what kind of life, what kind of food, what kind of house, what kind of clothes, for the old man, it doesn't matter. ”

Zheng Guang was suddenly a little surprised, this Futai was actually born in prison? Living in such a difficult way since childhood?

Looking at Zheng Guang's surprised look, Zhu Kun smiled slightly, took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and seemed to begin to reminisce about the past: "The old man was born in prison, because his parents were refugees from the north, he fled to the boundary of Suzhou, and was arrested by the local government as a rebel, the old man's family was lucky, everyone did not die in prison, even the old man did not die in prison, but survived safely.

The old man's parents lived in Suzhou after being released from prison, which is also lucky, the Suzhou government gave a piece of land to compensate for the refugees who survived, and everyone divided it, and the parents got seven acres of thin fields, and there was a place to stand, and there was hope to live.

Pingzhi also understands, relying on farming is not able to grow any famous, in the Ming Dynasty, if we want to get ahead, there is only one way to go through the imperial examination, so thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, everyone riveted their strength to think about the past, the old man was lucky to pass, became one in a thousand Jinshi, was awarded an official, and since then he has become a scholar, no longer short of food and clothing, no longer bullied, but the old man still remembers the scene when his parents and family were bullied by the strong when he was young, every time he thinks about it, his heart aches. ”

Zheng Guang was a little silent, to be honest, he had never experienced any of these, maybe his father Zheng Wei experienced it when he was a child, but since he was born, Zheng's economic situation has improved, hundreds of acres of paddy fields and some small stores can support the family's expenses, after his parents and grandfather died one after another, the Zheng family has also received some care, and the living environment is better than before.

"Don't hide from Futai, although I was not born in a rich and noble family, but my parents and family worked hard for the life in Xia, so Zheng's family is also a family without worrying about food and clothing, and I have never tasted what it is like to be hungry and cold since I was a child, but I can also imagine what it feels like, my father and grandfather have described that feeling, when I was young, I was directly scared and cried." Zheng Guang said with a smile.

Zhu Kun nodded with deep feelings, and said: "Before the old man came into contact with the way of Confucius and Mencius, the only truth he firmly believed in was that the world is big, eating is the biggest, people always have to eat, if they don't eat, they can't do anything, hungry people don't think about national affairs, they only think about how to eat, only when they are full, can they do other things, even if the old man is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, he still thinks so." ”

Sun Ting took over the conversation: "This, but anyone who has been hungry knows that Pingzhi was born in the rich land of the southeast, I am afraid that I don't know, the enemy of the northwest and Liaodong is bitter cold, and many people's family motto is not to study hard and serve the country loyally or something, but it is eight words, the sky and the earth are big, eat the biggest, live only for food all your life, have nothing to eat, and do everything." ”

Zhu Kun's face obviously became not very good, he took a deep breath and said: "Pingzhi, I won't tell you, the old man went back to Suzhou yesterday, and he didn't go back to see it at home, and he didn't go to the mansion, so he came to you directly, not for anything else, I just want to ask you one thing." ”

Thinking of what they said before, Zheng Guang already knew what Zhu Su and Sun Ting wanted to know, so Zheng Guang put down the tea bowl and said: "What Futai and Mr. Sun want to know, I have already understood it below, and I can tell Futai and Mr. Sun that if the Japanese pirates thirty years ago were still real Japanese pirates, then today's Japanese pirates, seven or eight out of ten, are all coastal residents of Zhejiang, and the remaining two or three out of ten have Japanese pirates and Francos, but they are dominant, It's all the people of the Ming Dynasty, not the real pirates. ”

Zhu Kun and Sun Ting's faces changed greatly.
