Chapter 275: A Frontal Battle

Zhao Zhenji stopped for a few days, which made everyone secretly relieved, and Hu Zongxian also sent someone to find Shen Mo in private, and asked him to find a way to give Lao Zhao a step, and everyone quickly closed the case...... Your old master Zhao is bored in the Nanjing Military Department, but everyone is still busy fighting against the Japanese, who will accompany you to spend it all the time?

Shen Mo didn't touch this brow, he knew that Old Master Zhao didn't break out in silence, he just broke out in silence, and according to the old man's temper, it is estimated that even if he breaks out, he will break out first.

Sure enough, just two days later, outside the west gate of Hangzhou, a horse suddenly rushed over and shouted to the guards of the city: "Oh, quickly call the officials in the city to come out to meet the big frame of the Qincha lord!" ”

Qianhu on duty asked loudly in the city: "Dare to ask if it is the road Qincha, and the small ones are better to go through." ”

"Zhao Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, I am ordered to investigate and deal with the Qin case!" The envoy in the mountain armor and the red cloak said loudly.

The thousands of households on duty did not dare to slack off, and hurried to go inside. After a while, Hu Zongxian led the political envoys, the envoys and the Hangzhou prefect and other cadres and subordinates to come out, Shen Mo and Wang Yongji, also changed into official clothes and rushed to the west city gate, got off the sedan chair, Wang Yongji said strangely: "Could it be that Zhao Butang went out of the city overnight?" ”

"That's not it," Shen Mo shook his head and said, "This is to tell the people of Zhejiang that he is going to turn from dark to light." ”

As soon as the officials arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a team of people and horses often appearing in the direction of the northwest official road, sounding the gong to open the way, and at the same time walking slowly.

When the team got closer, you could see the full honor guard of the second-rank officers, led by twelve red-armored soldiers holding dragon and phoenix colored flags, and the honor guard behind them held high a solemn avoidance card, an axe, a big knife, a moon, a lion seal, a kwai fan, a Luo umbrella, and a sign that said Hand-picked Hanlin, the Nanjing Military Department's Shangshu, the Inspector of the Southeast Military Aircraft, and the Qincha Order.

Behind them are more than 100 guards with swords and crossbows, clustered with several blue tweed official sedan chairs, and a sixteen-lifted purple jade sedan chair in the middle, behind which there are umbrella fan Luo Gai, and several military attachΓ©s, and finally a long escort force, all holding brand-new firearms, which is very deterrent.

Although the common people were amazed and happy to see the hunt, in the eyes of the officials who greeted them, this was undoubtedly a performance that announced the complete break between the two sides. Especially when he saw that the sedan chair was empty, Hu Zongxian's face became greener than iron, what a straightforward demonstration!

When the honor guard and guards all entered the city, the officials gathered around Hu Zongxian and said, "Zhongcheng, this is obviously going to kick our field!" "That is, those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming!"

Unwilling to listen to these nutritious nonsense, Hu Zongxian waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Let him toss, make Zhejiang a mess, let the Japanese be fierce again, and I will resign and go home to farm!" After saying that, he got into the sedan chair and followed the guard of honor to the city.

The officials looked at each other and had no choice but to get into a sedan chair and enter the city.

Following the guard of honor of the Qincha, they walked to the outside of an alley and could no longer enter, and when the officials got out of the sedan chair, they saw that the Qincha guards had surrounded a small inn in the alley.

The officials looked at Hu Zongxian again, and Hu Zongxian looked at Shen Mo who had just gotten off the sedan chair in the distance, and wanted to ask him what he meant, but when he saw him give him a look, he suddenly remembered that this person was also a messenger, and his heart couldn't help but be greatly settled, and he stopped looking at him.

After a while, a Qianhu officer wearing a red cloak, wearing a mountain armor, and carrying a sharkskin waist knife came out and said in a deep voice: "Lord Shen, Lord Wang, the ministry is invited." ”

Shen Mo two nodded, and walked down the alley.

Hu Zongxian and his subordinates waited for half an hour, and seeing that it was almost noon, the adults were tired and hungry, and they couldn't stand still, so he asked him in a low voice: "Zhongcheng, do you have to wait until then?" ”

Hu Zongxian stood there straight, his face was also gloomy and ugly, and he snorted: "This official will personally go and ask." At this time, all the officials had the same hatred and hatred, so they would let Zhongcheng go alone, so they followed together.

Before he walked to the alley, he was ...... by Zhao Zhenji's personal soldier captain That is, the thousand households who asked the two to go in silence...... Stopped, asked with a dark face, "What are you doing?" ”

That's so annoying, you've been standing guard here, don't you know what we're doing? Hu Zongxian arched his hand with a dark face and said: "Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, asks to see the minister, please speak on your behalf." ”

"Wait for now." The captain of the pro-soldier said politely, and went for a full quarter of an hour before coming back, and said expressionlessly: "Lord Ministry is talking with the two co-organizers, please wait here." ”

The leaders of Zhejiang finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Our Lord Zhongcheng is a member of the fourth grade and the head of a province, you can't be so insulting!" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier was unmoved, and said, "Please wait." And he stood there like a nail.

Hu Zongxian's face was very ugly, as if he was angry because of the indecent assault he received, but in fact, he was not angry in his heart, he was just very anxious - looking at this situation, Zhao Zhenji was ready to roll up his sleeves and go out, and at this time Zhao Wenhua went to the hot springs, Yang Yiyuan was in Nanjing, and there was only one aspect left in the entire Hangzhou City, so the old master must focus on making fun of himself!

In fact, he knew very well that he did not have much responsibility for this invasion of the Japanese invaders, and if he was on the matter, he was at most a 'negligent' mistake, and half a year of reprimanding and punishing him would have passed. But I'm afraid that this old man will lead to other things, such as ...... Mention and add faction, this method has been criticized as soon as it is proposed, and it has also offended many people, once it is pulled to this, you will not worry about not finding someone who attacks you, and when the time comes, it will be yellow mud falling into the crotch of your pants, not but.

In any case, he could not be allowed to connect these two things. Hu Zongxian secretly gritted his teeth and said.

This time it didn't take long. I saw a pro-soldier walking out of it and whispering a few words in Qianhu's ear.

The captain of the thousand households turned sideways and said, "Lord Ministry, please let in Lord Zhongcheng." ”

Hu Zongxian immediately walked in quickly, and the rest of the officials wanted to follow, but they were stopped again and said, "The Lord of the Ministry did not invite you in. ”

When Hu Zongxian entered the lobby of the inn, he saw Zhao Zhenji, who was dressed in a red official robe and embroidered with a brocade chicken on his chest, sitting behind a square table, closing his eyes and recuperating. Shen Mo and Wang Yongji sat on the left and right, and when they saw the governor come in, the two of them quickly got up and saluted silently.

Hu Zongxian nodded at the two of them, and also saluted Zhao Zhenji, and called softly: "Lord Ministry, ......"

Zhao Zhenji still closed his eyes, but said lightly: "Sit down." ”

Hu Zongxian looked around, only there was a bench at the bottom of the square table, walked over and sat down gently, and looked at Zhao Zhenji again, but the old master still closed his eyes. I had to cough lightly and said, "This place is really small, and there are many adults, so it will definitely not be able to live." The lower official has already ordered someone to clean up the governor's yamen, and he is willing to ask the lord to move. ”

Zhao Zhenji still sat there with his eyes closed and did not answer.

Even if the clay man has a three-point surname, not to mention that Hu Zongxian is still a flesh-and-blood man, he no longer speaks, and accompanies him to pretend to be dumb.

The silence in the hall was embarrassing, and he couldn't help but think, 'It's better to have a horse hanger for entertainment.' After he came in with Wang Yongji, he found that Zhao Zhenji was as gloomy and terrible as a changed person. Zhao Shangshu had already asked them a question, and asked it again, and then asked them to sit on the left and right sides. After sitting down, Shen Mo realized that in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the room, there was a clerk who was writing hard, and he must have written down what they said in black and white.

Zhao Zhenji cherished words like gold, and didn't say a word, so he couldn't get the gist of silence, so he had to quietly hand Hu Zongxian a color and let him be careful.

Hu Zongxian lowered his eyelids slightly, which was considered to be a response to silence.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Zhenji closed his eyes and said quietly: "It's very good here, although it is small and cramped, but it is better to be clean, and it is not bad to live." ”

This kind of disguised scolding, how could Hu Zongxian not hear it, he held back his anger and said: "Everything is up to the adults." ”

"It's good to know," Zhao Zhenji opened his eyes at this time, stared at Hu Zongxian coldly, and said, "This official is ordered to ask." ”

Hu Zongxian hurriedly knelt down, bowed three times and bowed nine times: "Respectfully Saint Ann!" ”

"St. Bow." Zhao Zhenji accepted this gift on behalf of the emperor, and asked in a deep voice: "Fools in the southeast, I ask you, you were stirred up by 200 widows, and you were touched by others under the city of Nanjing, and you lost the face of your grandfather, is there such a thing?" ”

Hu Zongxian kowtowed in a cold sweat and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed something to do, but there is another hidden secret, please report it later." ”

Zhao Zhenji nodded and said, "I ask you again, why can't more than 10,000 people beat a hundred or ten people, are you all paper-paste?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not that you can't beat it, it's that you can't catch up." Hu Zongxian quickly regained his composure and said: "Those Japanese people are extremely fast and familiar with the terrain, so it is extremely difficult to arrest, so they let them escape to Nanzhili, this is the crime of the ministers, please punish Your Majesty." "This is a confession, this is avoiding the important and trivial.

Zhao Zhenji said coldly: "Ridiculous, they are foreign invaders, you are the official army of the Ming Dynasty, how can you be embarrassed to say that people are familiar with the terrain?" ”

"Because they have local guides." Hu Zongxian said unhurriedly: "The guide is a native and knows the terrain better than the official army. ”

"You mean they collude inside and out?" Zhao Zhenji asked unintentionally.

"Yes." Hu Zongxian replied: "It depends on the situation. ”

"Why did they collude?" Zhao Zhenji said coldly: "I heard that the locals also gave them supplies, whose country is this?" Why didn't the common people help us, but helped the Japanese invaders? ”

Hu Zongxian said in his heart, it's time to get to the point. He said unhurriedly: "It is not uncommon for people to see profit and forget righteousness everywhere. ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Zhenji snorted and said, "How did I hear another statement? ”
