Chapter 343: The Clown Jumps the Beam
Peng Yue finally left for the southeast, of course, he didn't take Yan Mengyun and Gu Wan'er, but only brought Qiu Qingge, under Peng Yue's "secret coordination", Yan Mengyun and Gu Wan'er expressed no objection to this...
So Peng Yue took his rigorously trained firearm team and set off with confidence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Originally, he wanted to bring artillery, but if he thought about it, it was too troublesome to transport, and since it was a war against the Japanese and they were good at mobile warfare, they shouldn't need this thing, so they didn't bring it.
However, there was a little joke in the middle, that is, Peng Yue was going to take someone with him, of course, this did not refer to "family affairs", so this person was naturally not Qiu Qingge, but a national hero who was famous through the ages-Qi Jiguang.
But when Peng Yue asked the court that he wanted to take Qi Jiguang with him, the ministers of the court and the central government were all stunned, not because Peng Yue was willing to promote such a small official, but because... Everyone doesn't know who Qi Jiguang is...
So after going through the list of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, everyone finally knew that this Qi Jiguang, who had been a commander in Jimen for three years, was now a military attache in Shandong.
So at Peng Yue's suggestion, Qi Jiguang was honorably transferred to Zhejiang, but no one paid attention to this, after all, Qi Jiguang is still an unpopular character.
When Peng Yue was leaving, he also explained to Xu Jie: I'm useless now, and the affairs of the court can only rely on you!
Xu Jie could only smile bitterly in his heart about this: Have you taken care of me in the past two years? Now that you're gone, what can I do alone! Do you want me to deal with Yan Song alone? The concubine can't do it!
But if you can't do it, you have to do it, Peng Yue is really gone, and he has gone far, I don't know when he will come back.
But just when Peng Yue was not in a hurry and rushed to Zhejiang, a major event happened in the southeast, and the protagonist of the story was Yan Song's godboy - Zhao Wenhua.
It turned out that when there was a turmoil a while ago, Zhao Wenhua, who had been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works, in line with the principle of winning the emperor's favor and making a fortune himself, told Zhu Houxi about the seven things to prepare for the Japanese.
Of course, this Zhao Wenhua is out of corruption, and he really doesn't have any talent that is too good, so his suggestion looks like a joke, what kind of sacrifice to the sea, please ask the emperor to believe in Zhai Jiao, although it is ridiculous, but Zhu Houxi just eats this set, so how important it is to be able to figure out the psychology of the boss.
Yan Song seized this opportunity, and naturally had to lobby for this godson, and then under Yan Song's prodding, Zhao Wenhua went to the southeast to worship the sea with honor. is called supervising the military intelligence, but in fact, they solicit bribes along the way, and then the father and son share the spoils.
But Zhao Wenhua is really not a master who can be idle, after the sacrifice to the sea, he really thought that he had two brushes, so he wanted to mix in the anti-Japanese plan.
But what makes Zhao Wenhua helpless is that Zhang Jing doesn't like him at all, and the reason is very simple, Zhang Jing is a direct minister, and he looks down on people like Zhao Wenhua, plus Zhang Jingguan is very senior, and he proclaims himself to be the marshal of the overseer, of course, he has the confidence to ignore Zhao Wenhua.
But Zhao Wenhua is not convinced, if you want to say that you will be Yan Song's son in the capital, don't you all have to treat me as a father when you leave the capital? How can you do that to me? So Zhao Wenhua thought that he was the minister of the Qincha, and he also worked against Zhang Jing.
However, he found that he was really isolated, because the governor of Zhejiang, Li Tianpet, didn't like to take care of himself, how could this work? You're a fourth-grade official, although I'm in your territory now, but you're too much of a bully!
So Zhao Wenhua issued his own big move: I'll tell my dad to clean you up!
However, he soon received a reply from his godfather: This Zhang Jing is not easy to provoke, and it is best not to provoke if he can.
Zhao Wenhua, who received the reply, looked depressed, but he would not give up easily, so he relied on the principle that he couldn't cure you and disgusted you, so he stayed in Zhejiang and didn't leave, and by the way, he looked for an opportunity to find Zhang Jing's shortcomings.
After a while, the unremitting Zhang Jing finally found a flaw, that is, the letter that Yan Song received as mentioned above: the Japanese invaded on a large scale.
What made Zhao Wenhua even happier was that Zhang Jing didn't move, didn't he take the initiative to give himself a handle? So Zhao Wenhua pretended to find Zhang Jing: Why didn't Lord Zhang send troops?
As Zhao Wenhua expected, Zhang Jing was still cold-spoken and ominous. What he wanted was this effect, so Zhang Jing hurriedly went to the capital: Zhang Jing sat back and watched the chaos, and after repeated urging by himself, he just didn't send troops, in a word: take the money of the imperial court, but don't do what should be done.
Zhang Jing was not worried about what Zhao Wenhua did, but he was sure of it, because he had his own plans.
It turned out that Zhang Jing knew that those Japanese people were really strong in combat, and he would definitely not be able to defeat them with these people under his hands. This is not that Zhang Jing is not confident, but an objective fact that is placed there.
For example, in the riot a while ago, more than 40 Japanese invaders entered from Pinghu, Zhejiang, burned and looted all the way, and finally reached the city of Nanjing, only to be wiped out by the army, but at this time the Ming Dynasty had killed and injured more than 3,000 people.
It's not that the Ming army is too weak, it's really that the Japanese are too strong, because they are all Japanese ronins, and this ronin doesn't refer to prodigal people, although they don't stay on Japanese islands, they have to run to the land of my Greater China, it's really quite a wave...
They were all specially trained samurai wielding samurai swords, and they all had a high status in Japan, for example, if they encountered a civilian in Japan who disrespected them, they could kill him with a single sword without being held responsible. It is said that with such a high status, he should not go to China to make trouble, but who made his family poor and chaotic on that small island now?
Of course, people not only have a high status, but also good kung fu, but also have a tendon in their brains, advocating the spirit of bushido, they don't want to die when they start a battle, and they love to commit suicide by seppuku when they have nothing to do, so they should be regarded as a group of special forces with a little bit of neuroticism.
In the face of such a group of people, Zhang Jing could only adopt a ruthless approach and transfer troops from elsewhere. Where did it come from, it was from the Liangguang where he served before, and the soldiers who fell were not ordinary, they were an equally special group - wolf soil soldiers. Most of these soldiers were ethnic minorities, they had little culture at the time, they didn't speak Mandarin, and their personalities were also brave and ruthless, and most importantly, they had one thing in common with those Japanese ronins: they fought and played with their lives, and their combat effectiveness was very fierce.
That's enough, Zhang Jing believes that as long as the wolf soldiers arrive, he will be sure to win, so Zhao Wenhua's report is meaningless.
It is said that Zhang Jing's judgment is correct, but he underestimated Zhao Wenhua's level of integrity, because Zhao Wenhua also sent a letter to his godfather Yan Song while playing to the court... (To be continued.) )
