The Suzhou Qincha Xingyuan became the Grand Governor's Palace, which governed the military affairs of the six coastal provinces. More than 40 years later, Zhang Jing, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, also gained this power in history, but the overall rout of the Anti-Japanese War finally brought him the end of beheading at the entrance of the vegetable market, what about Governor Yang?

Backyard of the Doge's Palace. Under the hall, the pond is murmuring, the water is murmuring, the bottom is clear, and the swimming fish are fluttering back and forth.

There is a Lu orange secluded fence in the west of the pond, and a path is deep and curved; Through the path and south, there are more than 10 uneven flower trees, such as pepper such as mushroom, red broken white dew, branch shadow sparse, if you wear Xie Gong clogs in the moss and fine stones to enjoy the flowers, wild and prosperous, but it is indeed a little elegant, but Cheng Qiyun, who has always liked elegant scenery, is now buried in the mountains of dossiers, and can not take care of these leisure and leisurely at all.

"At the head of the second gear, there is news from Guangdong, the king of Manjingjia has been found and has now been sent to Beijing to live temporarily. Because of the rampant prevalence of the Japanese Navy, the Guangdong Navy Division was worried that the Japanese would go south, and a large number of warships patrolled the inland seas, and two Western warships once appeared, and as soon as the six warships of the Guangdong Navy Division tried to get closer, they turned around and left, and since then they have rarely made an appearance in the waters of Guangdong."

"That's good!" Cheng Qiyun's flower appearance is a little haggard, she has been dealing with too much official business recently, not only has her nap been canceled, but she often stays up all night at night, and her energy is overdrawn.

Cheng Qiyun sighed lightly: "The Western pirates have taken the full thorn plus, and it will take some time to consolidate the situation, it is best for them not to make trouble now." The burden on my shoulders is too heavy, and if something happens to the Guangdong side now, I'm really afraid that he will be crushed."

In front of him is the general person in charge of the inner factory in Liangguang and Fujian, Wu Chen, who is currently the fourth head of the internal compilation factory, he has a southerner face, and his eyes reveal shrewdness and alertness: "The second gear head, there is another matter that needs to be known to the adult, the red-haired ghost has signs of development to Yizhou (Taiwan), a few days ago, there were three boats appeared in the chicken coop and Tamsui area, when the ships of the Penghu Inspection Division Yamen were chasing the merchant ships of the thief Bai Xiaocao, both sides were attacked by the Fan ships, so the two sides turned to attack the red-haired ghost and injured a boat, Bai Xiaocao's merchant ships and the warships of the Inspection Department also suffered losses, so the three sides retreated."

Cheng Qiyun's eyes flashed, the idea of the red-haired ghost to fight Yizhou? This matter can't be careless, but the adults can't afford to take care of the southeast now, which is Bai Xiaocao's sphere of influence, so you might as well secretly reveal the news to him, and let the Penghu Inspection Department temporarily relax the arrest of him, and use Bai Xiaocao's fleet to temporarily contain the Westerners.

She picked up the pen and wrote down the main points one by one, and said: "Okay, the official has written it down, you hurry back to the southeast to sit in the town, but there is important news, come and report it quickly, and there is no delay."

"Yes!" Wu Chen had just retired with his fists in his hands, and Meng Li, the head of the inner factory in charge of intelligence in Sichuan and Shaanxi, said to him: "Lord Cheng, everything is normal in Sichuan, the military handover is stable, and the new commanders and envoys of Chengdu have taken office, and now they are quietly and secretly dispatching the army and replacing officers. The King of Shu has not moved abnormally, he has been in poor health recently, and he has lived in Qingyang Palace last month to fast and pray for blessings. ”

Cheng Qiyun smiled coldly and said: "In the past, there was a prince who pretended to be crazy in order to avoid people's eyes, why is it difficult to pretend to be sick?" Be careful that he has other plans, you remember, continue to listen to the news, and act cautiously, now if there is a fire in the backyard, not only adults can't stand it, but even our Ming Dynasty can't stand it."

Meng Li knew that what she said about 'pretending to be a crazy prince' was an old thing about King Yan who rebelled against the emperor, and he didn't dare to break it at the moment, so he only responded respectfully, Cheng Qiyun thought about it and said, "How is Shaanxi?" Is the change to crops going well? ”

Meng Li said: "The Shaanxi political envoy has spared no effort to implement the new grain, and now the crops are growing well, and the people's minds are stable. ”

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said, "Very good, alas! Probably this news will make adults happier when they hear it, most of the troops in the Jiangnan Guard Station are wax gun heads that are not useful, and adults are about to be mad by this group of wine bags and rice bags, you go down first."

The door was gently closed with a "bang", Cheng Qiyun leaned back in the chair, closed her beautiful eyes and said: "Liu Jinguo, as expected by adults, is seizing the opportunity to win over those centrist officials, and the old ministers in the court have also focused their attention on him. Dai Yi, Miao Kui, Mu Bin and others are now obedient to him on the surface, which makes Liu Jin even more arrogant, and now they are waiting for him to completely expose his perverse ambitions.

Now the only thing that worries adults is the Japanese Kou! Soldiers are needed to fight wars, but now most of the officers and soldiers of the Jiangnan Guard Station are bears and generals, and it is a strange thing that a team of 3,000 officers and soldiers was killed by 200 Japanese and fled. With such a morale and military heart, I am afraid that Zhuge Wuhou will vomit blood in anger in his next life, and say that my family is not a general, even if he is ten times braver than Guan Yunchang, leading such a group of bear soldiers, he can only be at a loss, what should I do? ”

A pair of curved and long eyebrows frowned slightly, and Cheng Qiyun racked her brains to think of a way: "Training? Where did you come from, transfer foreign soldiers? Where to transfer and how to solve the military salary? The military salary lord does not know yet, and now the military salary will not be paid soon, alas! What can I do? ”

Xiu Mei screwed together, and Dai Lou'er, who has always been resourceful, suddenly had a sense of powerlessness that everything in the world could not be solved by wisdom, just as she had peerless beauty and intelligence, and she could call for wind and rain in the world, but no matter how great her ability was, she couldn't jump out of the world controlled by men after all, and she couldn't grasp her own destiny.

In the end, it is strength that depends on strength, real strength!

Yang Ling stood like a trapped beast, staring at the military map in front of him, which was not very detailed, according to what he knew, he marked the place where the Japanese invaders haunted on the map in red and blue, and the layout of the Ming army's troops, but this time, the map was even more colorful and dazzling.

Quite simply, because the Japanese are not regular troops, and strategically, they do not have a clear goal at all, and where they attack is completely arbitrary and arbitrary, so it is impossible to guess the direction of their actions.

If they are willing to summon up the courage to fight, they may die far less than the number of people who were killed in the process of fleeing for their lives, and they can also achieve the final victory, but who is to say such a simple truth? Who will be the first to charge without fear of death? Thinking that he could escape, such a fluke mentality, the combat power of the officers and soldiers of the guard station was not as strong as the people who swore to defend the countryside to the death.

On the other hand, whether it is the defeated Daimyo and ronin who failed in the Oriental hegemony, or the fake Japanese who are attached to the robbery: those robbers who originally belonged to the people of the Ming Dynasty have been doing the business of licking blood with knives all the year round, and under the survival of the fittest, they are all brave and ferocious warriors, and in the long-term battle, they have cultivated extraordinary martial arts and strong physique, and there is indeed a great difference in the quality of each other's soldiers.

Although the flames of war were ignited everywhere, most of the Japanese robbers were a looting team composed of 1,200 people, which was convenient to move and had no logistical worries, and they were rampage through the prefecture and county, and they did not support each other, and the Ming army wanted to defend the city, intercept it, and pursue it, and the logistical support was also a problem when the army stopped.

At this time, Yang Ling was unkempt, his eyes were red, his cheeks were thin, and the green stubble under his chin was not shaved clean, he clenched his fist and lightly struck it twice on the picture, and asked, "Lord Bai, what else is going on?" ”

Bai Zhong praised: "That's basically what the lower officials want to report, in the final analysis, the biggest problem is our army." The Japanese were well aware of the geography and climate, the local people, and the contacts between officials and soldiers, and they ran long distances and fought in ambushes, but our officers and soldiers were often ambushed on their own land. The lower officials are really ashamed."

Yang Ling smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Bai has just been transferred to Jiangnan, this matter is no wonder to you, our army has an advantage over the Japanese Invaders, and now the advantage is mainly on the sea, the Wolves are as fierce as tigers on land, even if they are alone, they dare to hide in the bushes and ditches and wait for the opportunity to counterattack the officers and soldiers." On the water, they lacked firearms, armor, and their ships were too small to be defeated in almost every battle, but now that the Japanese had abandoned their ships and landed, our advantage was gone. ”

He pointed to the map, beckoned several generals to approach, and said: "You see, these pirates and big smugglers, because of their contradictions and grievances with each other, have gone their own way, and have never been able to form a unified and purposeful military action. Although it is impossible for our large army to fight a decisive battle and thus achieve a quick victory, it is a good thing for the officers and men of the Jiangnan Guard Station to fight a decisive battle now.

Otherwise, it is absolutely not impossible for the Japanese to concentrate their forces in a general battle and eat up several of our main forces, and we must take advantage of the current operational characteristics of the Japanese to divide and annihilate them. In this way, there is one thing in front of us again, and that is Bing! Do you think that the soldiers of the Jiangnan Guard Station can complete this task alone? ”

Bai Chongzan and several senior staff members looked at each other, and after a long time, Bai Chongzan cautiously asked, "Your Excellency is going to transfer troops from elsewhere?" ”

Yang Ling nodded and said, "Exactly, transfer troops!" This official originally wanted to transfer the 'four foreign armies' to Jiangnan to suppress bandits, but the paddy fields and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly not conducive to the northern iron cavalry with heavy armor and fighting on horseback. ”

As soon as Yang Ling's voice fell, a member of the colonel broke in tightly from outside, holding a military emergency report marked with a special logo in his hand, and said loudly: "Report to the governor, the military post has sent an urgent military situation."

Yang Ling raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Read!" ”

"Yes!" The Ming army did not have a special staff headquarters, and a large number of military intelligence analysis and planning came up with private staff from lower-level officers and senior generals.

The staff officer Zanhua stepped forward to take a few pieces of information and read them one by one: "There are 300 Japanese Kou, with the Ming Wu Hua as the leader, capturing Xiangshan Island, and then attacking the land, attacking Wenzhou and Taizhou, Taizhou Governor Wu Yuezhi led 800 officers and soldiers, Minzhuang attacked, defeated Diaoyu Ling, Wu Governor died in battle, and now Wu Hua's department has attacked Huangyan. ”

Yang Ling received a series of military reports, and he had heard of the battle situation that was even more unbelievable than this, and he had already had a clear understanding of the actual combat strength of the Jiangnan army, and he was not surprised when he heard it, but he just picked up the pen and marked it on the map, and said without raising his head: "Keep reading!" ”

"There are 400 Japanese robbers in Rudong, Jiangsu, landed, occupied Binhai Town, such as Tang Zongsheng, a thousand households of silk and led the army to attack, burned down the houses, burned to death more than 40 people of the Japanese invaders, captured more than 20 people, the rest of the Japanese invaders broke through, Tang Qianhu led the army to pursue, retreated after being attacked in the narrow valley ridge, the Japanese robbers escaped to the sea, were intercepted by the Jiangsu naval division, destroyed three ships, beheaded 79 ranks, and the rest of the Japanese invaders fled to Shanghai."

"The officers and soldiers of Shanghai County were ambushed by the Japanese who sneaked here, and more than 200 officers and soldiers were killed and many drowned. The Japanese took Shanghai as their base camp and divided their troops into four directions. Now with the Rudong defeated Japanese Kou troops, the Kou people gathered, together to capture the county seat of Shanghai, the county commander Gong Muwei led the army to retreat, and took the opportunity to burn several ships of the Japanese Kou during the escape. ”

Yang Ling took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The Hojo clan led more than 1,000 people to attack Nanjiang at night, killed the county governor of Nanjiang, slaughtered the people of Nanjiang and Chuanjiang, and camped outside Songjiang City, challenged the officers and soldiers stationed in the city, and after the defeat of the siege, they attacked Jiading and Taicang, killing people and setting fire everywhere.

Taicang military garrison Lu Chen led his troops to cover, and killed the Hojo clan's giant thief Xiao Se in the array, and the Japanese retreated, ready to transport the plundered wealth and silk women back to the island, but their warships were burned by the patrol sailors, the Hojo clan led the troops to flee south, and the Jiading prefect Chen Keming led the troops to block, and the Taicang military envoy Lu Chen attacked back and forth, and won a complete victory, more than 1,000 Japanese invaders escaped less than 100 people, and the rest were beheaded! ”

The generals in the hall were all refreshed when they heard this, this can be regarded as the biggest victory in the war in various places, they looked at Yang Ling excitedly, Yang Ling's face also showed joy, he happily said to the master on the side: "Immediately plan to seal the fold, this governor personally for the Jiading prefect and Taicang soldiers to prepare for the road to ask for credit." ”

The master hurriedly agreed, and picked up the pen and wrote. Yang Ling said happily: "A literati in the prefect of Jiading, I don't know how many generals are ashamed of such achievements, if the coastal officers and soldiers have such courage, why worry about the immortality?" ”

He sighed and said: "Everyone, now that the war is burning everywhere, it is not the time to train troops after all, and it is still imperative to borrow troops, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

At this time, Cheng Qiyun hurriedly came to the front hall from the backyard, and the current staff of the Governor's Office and the generals of Jiangnan Province all knew that she was an important person in the inner factory, and she handled government affairs and analyzed the enemy situation, and took on a lot of heavy responsibilities for Governor Yang, and was his henchman. Her deeds and intelligence are also highly respected by officials.

Seeing her come to the front hall, everyone hurriedly bowed their hands to show respect, Cheng Qiyun hurriedly returned the salute, and then said to Yang Ling with a solemn expression: "My lord, it was said that more than 30 'widows' in Ninghai County attacked the mansion of the Great Salt Merchant at night, slaughtering more than 40 people in the Hou family, and the women were wiped out of silver and money.

When they fled, they were discovered by the night watchman, who caught six or seven people, and only then did they find out that they were the nearby water bandits, smugglers, and idle people. After receiving this information, Fanwei stepped up investigation in various places, and found that among the military information reported from various places, some of the Japanese bandits with less than 50 people were actually bandits and unscrupulous people from all over the country who formed gangs and took advantage of the opportunity to disguise themselves as Japanese robbers and rob and kill people everywhere.

Most of them will not leave the countryside too far, and their combat strength will be weaker, so they can cope with the inspection of the yamen. ”

"Bang!" Yang Ling slammed his fist on the table, and even what he had heard all day long was the unfavorable news that he had been anxious about, the corrupt and war-fearful generals of the generals, the timid of the soldiers like rats, and the evil deeds of the would-be robbers who harmed the people everywhere, and the miserable treatment of the people, all of which had already made Yang Ling's heart depressed, anxious, and bored to the extreme.

At this time, when he heard that some countrymen took advantage of the fire to rob, pretending to be a widow and doing the same dirty and ugly deeds, Yang Ling's long-held anger broke out, he was furious, and he punched down hard, and his finger bones were almost broken.

Yang Ling glared at the red eyes and swept around sharply, viciously squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth: "Fuck! These brutes, Han Jian is more hateful than devils."

Cheng Qiyun was stupid, Yang Ling, who has always been gentle and elegant, only had a wry smile and helplessness on his face when faced with the stupid obstruction and hostility of hundreds of officials in the court, and when he knew that Wang Yue and Fan Ting of the inner court were going to kill him, he was still so calm and calm, why did he say such a foul word now? And that sneer turned out to be a little hideous, full of hatred and murderous aura.

Most of the generals next to him are usually swearing, that is, although Bai Chongzan himself does not swear, but he is a vassal in the northwest, and he has seen many rough generals, so he is not surprised.

Yang Ling sneered, and said murderously: "Come here, send a message to the six provinces to command the envoys, the envoys, and the political envoys, but anyone who catches the pretending to be a Japanese to rob and humiliate the woman will be beheaded and the family property will be confiscated." It is planned to ask the emperor for an edict, and the families of prisoners who are guilty of such crimes will all be classified as untouchables and degraded to lazy people, and they will not be allowed to open up within three generations! ”
