Someone wants to ask what is the most important thing about being an official, and Tang Yi will most likely answer two words: relationship.

Politics and people, with people and talents, the government decree is accessible, the so-called people pick up firewood and the flame is high, a hero three gangs, in the unpredictable Ming Dynasty, if you want to sit firmly in Diaoyutai, you can't do without a dense network of relationships, you need to make a good relationship, and when it comes to the critical time, you can call Bainuo, and the responder is like a cloud.

Almost all of those who have always been able to sit firmly in a high position are Wanying Gong, who responds to requests.

For example, Yang Bo, the leader of the Jin Party, when Gao Gong liquidated Xu Jie, he came forward to protect Xu Jie, and when Zhang Juzheng was about to deal with Gao Gong, he came forward to protect Gao Gong. As for Xu Gelao, he was even more willing to take risks to save Hai Rui, who impeached Jiajing.

Could it be that these two political bigwigs are sick and want to be bad people?

Obviously not, it's like going to a funeral to cry spirits, not for the dead, but for the living.

For example, Zhang Jing has been up and down in the sea for decades, and his protégés and former officials have made friends, and the number is as large as a cow's hair. And he led the troops in the southwest all the year round, and the wolf soldiers were in awe of him. Moreover, this old man is upright and honest, and there are many admirers of both the government and the opposition.

If you can pull Zhang Jing when he is in trouble and help the old man avoid the disaster of killing, even if Zhang Jing becomes a leader from now on, he will leave a reputation for being impatient and righteous. Among civil officials, they pay the most attention to gratitude and gratitude, and helping Zhang Jing is equivalent to helping countless people, and this transaction is very cost-effective.

This is also the reason why Tang Yi actively planned and worked tirelessly. It's just that he underestimated Yan Dang's madness and Zhang Jing's determination, Tang Yi clearly remembered that Zhang Jing took them to a spacious room yesterday......

There was a huge military map on the table, Jiangnan and Zhejiang were clear at a glance, and Zhang Jingxing rushed to explain the situation to them.

"Okay, Wen Chang, the Japanese are entrenched in the nest of the Japanese on the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Daming Sailor has more than enough to guard, but not enough to enterprising. They cannot be expected to go on an expedition across the sea to destroy the pirates. Therefore, the old man used the strategy of showing the enemy's weakness to trick the Japanese to go ashore, and then he could be annihilated in one fell swoop. You see, there are four main places where we are guarding against the Japanese invaders, one is Jinshanwei, the second is Wusongkou, the third is Liuhebao, and the fourth is Baimaogang. ”

Zhang Jing drew a huge arc-shaped defense line as he spoke, and then said, "To the northeast of Jinshanwei is Tuolinbao. Further north is the Sichuan sand castle, there are more than 20,000 Japanese in these two places, the name of the Japanese chief is Xu Hai, this person became a monk in the early years, and there is a law name on Mingshan, he is cunning and cruel, and he has a very set of wars. In order to take Tuolin Fort, all Xu Hai was annihilated. The old man has appointed Yu Dayou as the chief soldier and recruited 10,000 sailors. Increase the number of Fucang sand ships by 300, and unite with the Jiangbei Naval Division to blockade the mouth of the Yangtze River and prevent the Japanese from flowing into the interior. ”

Tang Yi carefully observed, with Yu Dayou's strength and command ability, it was enough to block the way for the Japanese to flee north. Then Zhang Jing went on again. He sent troops from eastern Zhejiang to garrison Tang Shen, general Tang Kekuan, 15,000 men and horses on land and water, and 30,000 people to fortify between Wujiang and Taihu Lake. Block the path of the Wako to the west.

In the south, it was the admiral Zhao Wenhua, who patrolled the imperial history Hu Zongxian, plus Tang Kekuan and Peng Yinan, to guard Jiaxing. With Zhang Jing's little by little explanation, a super net has been rolled out.

The Ming army on three sides is the essence of Jiangnan, with a total of more than 50,000. As long as it is used properly, there is no worry that it will not be able to completely annihilate the Japanese invaders.

For the victory, Tang Yi did not have any doubts, what really worried him was the capital, Old Man Zhang was good at seeking the country, clumsy at seeking his life, what would happen to him, he couldn't help but worry.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Jing, who was full of spirit.

"The old man painstakingly laid out the net, how can he be a small man, and the ignorant rats can see it clearly. How to use the troops, the old man has his own splendid strategy, just wait for the success of this battle, the situation in the southeast will be reversed immediately. Just ask who dares to impeach the old man, the people of the southeast alone will not let them go! ”

Zhang Jing grabbed Tang Yi's shoulder, smiled and said: "Okay, Hu Zongxian's guy is very slippery, he passed a letter to the old man through you, and the old man also bothered you to send a message and tell Hu Zongxian, to be honest, if he runs to the dark with Zhao Wenhua again, the old man doesn't mind letting him go home and sell sweet potatoes!" ”

Looking at Zhang Jing's confident appearance, he held back his words. Tang Yi knew that it was too late to say anything at this time, the old man would definitely fight this battle, and he had to send it when he was ready to shoot.

I hope that as the old man thought, there will be a hearty victory, and from then on Zhang Jing will say everything in the southeast, and he will say everything he wants......

Time flew by, and Tang Yi lived in Jiaxing for the fifth day, when a fierce sound of guns suddenly came from outside the city, shouting and killing the earth, and the whole city was trembling.

In Tang Yi's small courtyard, Xu Wei held the sword tightly, with a tragic posture of sacrificing his life to go to the country, Shen Lin found a short sword, stared at his eyebrows, and even the little donkey was frightened, lowered his head, hid beside Tang Yi, and stared at the master with big watery eyes from time to time, and let out a mournful roar.

"Pack it up, what are you afraid of, you can't even defend the strong city, Hu Zongxian won't be so bad."

Tang Yi saw that the two and the little donkey didn't believe it, so he simply yawned and went to sleep, and when Tang Yi woke up again, the sound of killing and gunfire disappeared, only occasionally someone in the street shouted horses and neighed, carrying the wounded soldier to the treatment.

It turned out that Xu Hai led more than 4,000 Japanese invaders from Jiashan to Jiaxing, Peng Yinan was conceited and brave, and led his soldiers to meet the enemy outside the city, but the result was unexpected, the Japanese were equipped with a large number of birds, and killed two or three hundred wolf soldiers, and the Ming army was unfavorable in the initial battle.

Hu Zongxian's eyes were red, he personally went out of the city to supervise the battle, Lu Bo also took the lead, the Ming army counterattacked, a burst of killing, killing more than 500 Japanese invaders, Xu Hai retreated in a hurry with his men and horses.

The attack on Jiaxing failed, Xu Hai was unwilling to retreat to his lair, he locked the target of the robbery in Suzhou, and led his subordinates to loot all the way along the canal and enter the territory of Wujiang.

Tang Shen had already waited here with men and horses, after the previous battle of the Xiang Yong, at this time the soldiers were full of food, everyone was brave, and the most important thing was that the Xiang Yong also successfully imitated the bird gun, the range was farther than that of the Japanese Kou, and it was more vicious.

A fierce shooting, then Xiang Yong frantically pursued, Xu Hai retreated in a hurry, Xiang Yong chased out of Suzhou, Xu Hai counted the people, and there were less than 2,000 people left.

The successive defeats made Xu Hai angry, and he joined his subordinate Chen Dong, with a total force of more than 5,000, and tried to fight back. At this time, the army in the southeast had already taken action, and the net began to shrink.

Xiangyong quickly approached in the west, Tang Kekuan in the north, Lu Bo and Hu Zongxian in the south, and the three-way army gathered in Wangjiangjing, tightly surrounding Xu Hai and Chen Dong's troops.

It was only at this moment that Xu Hai suddenly woke up, and he had fallen into the encirclement.

Xu Hai is worthy of being a pirate, with a keen sense of smell, and when he sees things badly, he immediately leads his cronies to break through. How could the Ming army let go of the big fish and surrounded it in all directions.

After the first battle, more than 3,000 were beheaded, and more than 1,000 Japanese were drowned.

No one would miss the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and Tang Shen commanded the army to immediately go north, and together with the general Yu Dayou, besieged Tuolin Fort and Chuansha Castle.

Xu Hai led the troops to resist for a long time, and the Chuansha Fort was blown open by gunpowder, and then the Tuolin Fort was also lost, and Xu Hai once again died at sea and retreated to the nest.

In less than ten days before and after the war, the Ming army killed more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers, captured nearly 10,000 prisoners, destroyed two Japanese nests, rescued more than 20,000 plundered people, and seized more than 200,000 taels of silver and 150,000 horses of silk......

No matter from the number of enemies killed, or the scale of capture, all are unprecedented, this battle can be called the southeast since the resistance against the Japanese, the first victory, and the second person of the Japanese Kou, Xu Hai's subordinate was almost wiped out, and the military and civilian people in the southeast were greatly encouraged.

All the generals who participated in the war, whether it was Tang Shen, Yu Dayou, Lu Bo, Tang Kekuan and others, all celebrated the victory with thunderous joy. Before the banquet, everyone looked at each other, and one person was absent, that is, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang.

Everyone was puzzled, and someone hurriedly ran to Tang Shen's side and handed him a letter.

Tang Shen hurriedly opened it, only to see his son's familiar font come into view.

"Yesterday, Jinyi burst into the Governor's Palace, and Zhang Butang was locked and taken into Beijing for questioning."

With just a few words, Tang Shen was stunned to read it four or five times before he dared to be sure, and exclaimed: "The imperial court is really crazy!" ”

Instead of being rewarded, the unprecedented victory was asked, is it that the world is reversed, and there is no distinction between right and wrong? Is there still a royal law in this world?

Not only did Tang Shen ask such a question, Tang Yi was the same, from the beginning of the war, his heart was hanging, Tang Yi even asked Xu Wei to invite the seniors of Xinxue, bring the recipe of Baihua Immortal Wine, and give it to Zhang Jing, so that he could dedicate it to Jiajing.

God is pitiful, since Wang Cuixia rewrote the recipe, Tang Yi has been wearing it by his side, not that he needs to make up for it, but that this thing has a fatal attraction to all men, especially Emperor Jiajing, who is drunk on cultivation, can turn things around at a critical time.

The old man was suspicious because he had too little communication with Jiajing and not enough saints, so he increased the saints. When the senior sent the recipe for the Baihua Immortal Wine, who knew that it would attract a scolding from Zhang Jing.

"I, Zhang Banzhou, have been fighting horses all my life, walking right, and acting properly, if I rely on the evil of Fengjun to sacrifice evil things, is it worthy of what I have learned in my life? Tell the person who sent the recipe not to waste his efforts, the old man would rather take it straight than ask for it! I don't believe Your Majesty will destroy the Great Wall! ”

Zhang Jing swore that the night before the victory, dozens of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives rushed into the governor's palace.

"Edict: Zhang Jing is afraid of the enemy to avoid the war, and he is ungrateful and unjust, and now he is taken into Beijing by the Jinyi Wei Suo and handed over to the Three Law Divisions, Qin this!" The five Taibao of the Jinyi Wei led by him sneered: "Boss, come with us!" ”

In an instant, Zhang Jing seemed to be more than ten years old, and he was soaked in cold sweat.

He wanted to say something, opened his mouth, couldn't say a word, the two brocade guards set up the old man, walked outside, got into the carriage, and left Jiaxing quickly.

Outside the governor's line, Tang Yi arranged for people to keep an eye on him, and when he saw Zhang Jing being taken away, he was so frightened that he crawled and returned to Tang Yi's residence.

"Report to my lord, no, it's not good, Zhang Butang has been arrested!" (To be continued.) )
