Chapter 410: It's gone

After watching the Qiantang tide, it was naturally another fun. The group of runners who had fallen into the water re-boarded the boat, and used the boat racing as a play, making many flower heads, and winning the reward from the Governor's Palace.

The people naturally applauded the sky-shattering price, and they all said that the blessings of Wu Festival and Mr. Wenchang were so lively.

Next, under the arrangement of the local government, Wu Jie drank so much that his head was drunk.

Stroking his waist, which was already a circle bigger, Wu Jie smiled bitterly in his heart. When he came to Nanjing this time, Jiajing's errand did not succeed in the slightest, but he got tens of thousands of taels of benefits, and his belly was much bigger. Pity me Wu Jie is only a twenty-year-old weak-crowned boy, why did he start to get lucky?

While drinking and socializing with others, Wu Jie had a thought in his heart: Yes, although Hu Zongxian alone has the final say in this Southeast Army, it is not monolithic. In general, the Southeastern Army was divided into three parts. First of all, the local garrison troops, the town army and the military households in Zhejiang, this army numbered a large number of people, but its combat effectiveness was extremely poor, and it was no different from the peasants. It's okay to defend the city, pull it out for a field battle, and definitely let the ducks go.

This is also the reason why a few Japanese can sweep more than a dozen counties in the first place, and these people are not soldiers at all.

The second was Yu Dayou's Cantonese soldiers, which were the most reliable military force in Hu Zongxian's hands, well-equipped, with plenty of food and grass, cavalry, sailors and musketeers. Moreover, this army fought from Liangguang to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and had rich combat experience.

The problem is that since Hu Zongxian seized this unit, the senior officers of the army have been replaced by his own people. There's no way to make up your mind.

Therefore. Wu Jie set his eyes on Qi Jiguang's Qi family.

The Qi family has only been in the army for three or four years, but they have a brilliant record, especially when the Japanese invaded Zhejiang and Fujian on a large scale last year, they have been rushing to the front line, and the number of beheadings reported to the military department has reached more than 1,000. Of course, there may be a lot of water in this, and in Wu Jie's opinion, it is still possible to reach the level of three or five hundred.

This result is really good, and the Japanese in this matter are strong in combat, and there is no problem for a small Japan to reach more than a dozen Ming army households.

Usually able to retreat in full force surrounded by a Ming army ten times their size. If you want to eliminate three or five hundred Japanese pirates, you have to mobilize tens of thousands of people to fight a big battle. The problem is that the Ming army has not fought a few battles of this scale. A dozen, the silver of the white flowers went out like flowing water, and it couldn't withstand this toss at all.

The total number of Qi Jiguang's Qi family troops is not more than 10,000, and the problem is that these 10,000 troops are not all front-line combat troops. The composition of the ancient army was mainly composed of two parts: the main force and the auxiliary. For example, a cavalryman must be followed by two horsemen, and the navy also needs sailors. There must also be baggage soldiers, langzhong, and blacksmiths in the army.

In a troop of more than 10,000 people, there are actually only two or three thousand real combatants. Being able to behead three or five hundred with two or three thousand people shows that the combat effectiveness of Qi Jiguang's troops is average.

As far as Wu knew, most of this force was composed of laborers in the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang. These workers are brave and brave, and when it comes to combat effectiveness, they are a few points stronger than Yu Jiajun.

As long as this army is allowed to take the lead in attacking the Japanese invaders, the situation in the southeast may be a new situation.

Wu Jie recalled the records in the historical materials, according to the real historical records, just last year, Qi Jiguang fought a huge decisive battle in Fujian, beheaded more than 1,000 ranks, and uprooted the power of the Japanese in the southeast. At this point, the Ming Dynasty had decades of rebellion. Finally cut it off once and for all.

It's a pity that the butterfly wings of Wu Jie were lightly fanned, and the situation changed greatly. The crisis of the Yan Party came ahead of schedule, and in order to protect himself, Yan Song actually raised his own respect. Hu Zongxian was instructed to take a defensive position in Fujian and Zhejiang. Therefore, the general battle in history did not appear. …,

This annoyed Wu Jie a little.

But. It can be seen from this that if you want to solve the war in the southeast, you have to rely on Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang is a subordinate of Hu Zongxian on the surface, but he is not a member of the strict party.

This guy seemed to be panicked after Yu Dayou was plotted, knowing that the status of martial artists in this era is low, no matter how much credit you make, as long as you annoy the civilian prefect, you will not frown when you scoop your brows.

No matter how great the credit is, it can't be worth a solid backer.

Therefore, it seems that this Qi Jiguang began to look for a reliable background in the DPRK and China from that time, and finally attached himself to the door of Zhang Juzheng in the cabinet.

"Well, in that case, this Qi Jiguang can fight for it. Now that the Yan Party is in the twilight of the mountains, it may not be impossible to persuade him to change his court and serve the country and the nation. Thinking of this, Wu Jie already had a plan in his heart. Although Zhang Juzheng is strong in the future, he can still be stronger than the imperial power.

It is the emperor's intention to solve the war in the southeast as soon as possible, so that Fuji can cut off the power of the Yan party, and it is also the vision of King Yu's faction. Which is more important, Hu Zongxian or the emperor, presumably Qi Jiguang also knows.

This man is actually very shrewd.

can be called a generation of military gods, whether it is strategic or political vision, it will not be too bad.

"There is no point in staying in Hangzhou any longer, it is better to go south to Taizhou to talk to Qi Jiguang and do his job. However, there is an excuse. Xu Wenchang kept a close eye on me, but it was not so easy to get out. Although on the surface he was embarrassed to detain people directly. But if the news leaked and Hu Zongxian was prepared in advance, I am afraid that things will not be so easy to handle. ”

The banquet continued, and while he was thinking about his thoughts, a gentry stepped forward to toast and say flattering words.

Wu Jie had a plan, his heart was happy, and he was no longer bitter. Let him be glad, and drink and be merry with all the people.

After making trouble for a long time, next to him, Zhao Wen, the magistrate of Qiantang County, sneered, and sarcastically mocked Wu Jie in a low voice: "Lord Wu has been taking care of playing for a while, he is really an elegant person!" Have you forgotten the trust of the court and the expectations of the monarch? ”

Wu Jie smiled and deliberately teased him: "It's fun here, don't think about it." ”

"You!"

Wu Jie smiled lightly: "I am a disciple of Xinxue, so naturally I usually talk about my heart!" ”

"Well, I didn't expect you to be such a person." As the landlord, Zhao Wen naturally fell on him with the task of receiving Xu Wenchang and Wu Jie. But this old master has a horse-faced face today, and he can't bear it, and he doesn't say much from beginning to end.

Zhao Wen glanced at Wu Jie angrily, and said for a long time: "Xiaguan has an idea to share the worries of adults." ”

"What are you doing, sir?" Wu Jie asked with a smile in his heart.

Zhao Wen: "Xiaguan has a relationship with Qi Jiguang, although this person is a martial artist, he is also a reasonable person. The southeast game of chess has to start from Taizhou. ”

This person thought of it with Wu Jie.

Zhao Zhixian continued: "If the adults want to bring this game of chess to life, Qi Jiguang will consider it. If he can be said to be the first to use troops, the situation will be alive. ”

Wu Jie just smiled, but didn't say anything. He couldn't figure out Zhao Wen's intention for a while. It takes some thought to know what this man came from, why he said this to himself, and what he wanted to achieve.

Now that he is trapped in Hangzhou, it can be said that he is in crisis.

Leaving Hangzhou is certain, but if you leak the slightest rumor, I'm afraid that something bad will happen.

I, Wu Jie and Zhao Wen, didn't have much intersection before, so it's better to ignore him.

Zhao Wen: "Adults are afraid that they won't be able to get out, so don't worry about this matter." Xia Guan has already written a letter to Qi Jiguang, bitterly Chen, hoping that he will send someone to pick up the adults to Taizhou to sit in the town, do the best in his hands, annihilate the Japanese in one fell swoop, and make immortal achievements. If nothing else, the letter should have been delivered to Qi Jiguang. ”…,

Wu Jie was taken aback, and his heart suddenly became annoyed.

This Lord Zhao's enthusiasm is certainly touching, but isn't doing this to roast my Wu Jie on the fire?

Paper can't hold the fire, and Xu Wei will definitely know about it. If so, with Xu Wenchang's strategy, I don't know what tricks will come up. When the time comes, even if you want to leave, you can't leave.

Calculating, it is estimated that there is only a three-to-five-day trip from here to Taizhou. In other words, Zhao Zhixian's letter to Qi Jiguang will be known to Xu Wenchang in five days at most.

And there is not much time left for Wu Jie to get out.

As soon as Wu Jie and Zhao Wen whispered, they had already attracted Xu Wenchang's attention, and they looked at each other.

Wu Jie was shocked, and said to Zhao Wen with a smile: "Lord Zhao did not do this properly. ”

"Please ask for advice."

Wu Jie: "The imperial court's use of soldiers against the Japanese has always been presided over by Hu Butang, and Qi Jiguang is a subordinate of Lord Hu, how can he use soldiers privately, which is not in line with the imperial court system." If I go to persuade Qi Jiguang to fight the enemy waves without authorization, will I not be impeached? ”

"It turns out that the adults are worried about being criticized by the emperors, and it seems that the adults are still worried about their future and reputation. As for national affairs, it doesn't matter? Zhao Wen said sarcastically.

Wu Jie smiled: "Hangzhou is good, the scenery is beautiful, and the official is reluctant to leave here." Besides, Hu Butang is a gentleman, and he will never ignore the major affairs of the country, so I still plan to persuade him. ”

"Phew!" Zhao Zhixian finally couldn't bear it anymore and spat out: "You still fancy your reputation and official position, but I misjudged you." ”

With that, he stood up and walked away, leaving everyone stunned.

Wu Jie shouted in his heart: I'm sorry, for the sake of secrecy, I made you angry.

He smiled, picked up his glass, and shouted, "Wen Chang, let's have another drink." ”

The scene was not over until dusk, and Wu Jie finally came up with a good idea.

When he returned to his residence, he called Moth: "Moth, can you cry for a while?" ”

"Master, the moth is fine, what are you crying about?" Moth was puzzled and looked at Wu Jie strangely.

Wu Jie: "Xu Wenchang will definitely come over early tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, he will immediately cry loudly when he sees the old man's eyes." ”

Moth glanced at Wu Jie: "You look for someone else, just cry when you say you cry, I don't have the ability." ”

Wu Jie: "You have to cry, or else, let's try it now?" ”

Moth nodded helplessly.

"One, two, three, cry!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
