Huating County is inconspicuous in the south of the Yangtze River, and he and Shanghai County are within the scope of Songjiang Prefecture. It's just that in recent years, textiles have risen in the south of the Yangtze River, and Huating has gradually been valued by many businessmen because of its north of Hangzhou and west of the canal.

It is not easy to do textile, Hangzhou, after all, there are too many yamen, always make businessmen have doubts, plus the Ming Dynasty set up a weaving in Hangzhou, specifically for the palace, although the weaving bureau got the greeting from above, but did not dare to make it difficult to make anything, but the manufacturing bureau also has to buy a large number of raw silk every year, and most of them are purchased at a low price, which leads many silk merchants not to dare to trade in the Hangzhou market, so now, both silk merchants and textile merchants are willing to trade in Songjiang Mansion.

Huating County has now become an important trading center, mainly thanks to the connivance policy of the local county magistrate Nie Bao.

Nie Bao is a disciple of Wang Xue, Wang Xue is rooted in the left and right of the Jiang, and has an inextricable relationship with many people in the local area, and the atmosphere here is not too exclusive to the merchants, Nie Bao takes a laissez-faire attitude towards the workshops and the merchants gathered in the governance.

Neither mingle with them nor meddle in their affairs.

In fact, such an attitude is very rare for businessmen. Coupled with the geographical convenience of Huating, the waterway is dense, once upon a time, there were also businessmen gathered here, and the flow of people was like weaving.

Merely......

Recently, there has been a trouble, so that the market suddenly depressed, the Japanese invaders occupied Hangzhou, so that the whole Jiangnan was shaken, no one dared to guarantee, what would happen next, the military and civilian people in the south of the Yangtze River had a deep fear of the Japanese invaders, so these days, the silk merchants who carried the goods disappeared all of a sudden, and no one dared to hang around with the goods anymore, for fear that there would be no more Japanese criminals.

Without raw materials, this workshop will naturally not be able to work. Therefore, those recruited apprentices of craftsmen can only sit and eat, not only the merchants are jumping in a hurry, but also those craftsmen, apprentices, and shops along the way, and even the government also feel embarrassed.

Everyone has nothing to do, and it's not always a way to be idle, but the situation is like this, but there is nothing to be done.

Huating County is close to the river and the sea. Therefore, there are also waterway inspections and sea inspections, waterway inspections are responsible for Songjiang, and sea inspections are strictly forbidden for people to go to the sea, but now, because of the fear of Japanese invaders. Therefore, everyone in the county government mobilized, up to the third shift of officers, down to the officers and soldiers who patrolled, and every day they were on guard at the old site of the only wharf in Shanghai, that is, the county commander Nie Bao, who was also stationed here, and he did so. It's not that I plan to fight to the death with the attacking Japanese invaders, but to be an official is to stress politics, and the purpose is nothing more than to calm the people's hearts.

It is said that this is the site of the old wharf because the wharf here was demolished a hundred years ago. And this is the only area of deep water, where large ships can be unimpeded, and if the Japanese invade, they must come from here. Elsewhere, there are many reefs. Even an ordinary medium-sized ship with a pointed bottom would not be able to pass through.

At this time, Lord Nie Bao Nie temporarily lived in a wealthy family here, but his heart was bitter, the hearts of the people in the county were fluctuating, and there were thousands of people who had nothing to do, these people were not ordinary farmers, but craftsmen, no matter how the farmers were, there was always surplus grain, but craftsmen and apprentices were different, they were doing a day's work to get a day's money, never on credit, even if they had some surplus money, they were afraid that it was not much, once the family was hungry, it would definitely make trouble.

Moreover, now the woes have caused panic in the hearts of the people, and even many squires and landlords do not dare to stay here, leaving the land to be taken care of by the stewards, and taking all the families to Nanjing to be foolish, as soon as the squires leave, many apportionments in this place have become a problem, and if this continues, it is necessary to have a great chaos in Huating.

Nie Bao ate tea, cursing in his heart, but he was worried about the affairs of the county, this big New Year will not stop, this year's Huating County is good, but now it is a depression in all industries, and if it goes on like this, I don't know how good it is.

I was thinking about it in my heart, but I didn't want any errand to run out of breath, and said, "My lord...... Not good...... Oh no...... Boat...... There is a ship......

Hearing the word "boat", Nie Bao's face turned blue with fright.

"Boat, what ship, where ship, how many ships?"

"A lot...... A lot, it's a big ship......"

Ship......

It's winter now, and it's impossible for a big ship to come, and for so many years, the Ming Dynasty has not had so many big ships, and there is only one possibility, that is, there is a large-scale Japanese attack......

Thinking of this, Nie Bao was stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go, go and see." ”

At this time, he didn't care about anything, he didn't even care about the black yarn, he rushed in, and when he left the courtyard, he saw that on the sea level in the distance, there were really countless big ships looming in the sea mist, coming towards this side.

The officers and soldiers on the beach were already stunned, so many big ships, naturally a large-scale Japanese robber, not three or five thousand, at least one or two thousand, everyone was in a mess, Wang Chang, the sea patrol, saw Nie Bao coming, and hurriedly staggered over, and said, "My lord...... My lord...... It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the Japanese are powerful, something is going to happen, something big is going to happen, you have to go back to the county seat immediately, you have to flee with the people for your life, and you have to immediately inform Songjiang Mansion so that the prefect can prepare...... My lord...... It's over, this is a giant Kou, the military and civilians of the county ......"

Although Nie Bao was also trembling with fright, he finally had a little courage, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, Hugh wants to increase his popularity, and there are five hundred of our officials, soldiers, and civilian servants, what are you afraid of?" Escape? Huating County Guo is only a few miles away, most of the neighborhoods are outside the city wall, we fled, even if we stick to the city, what will happen to the tens of thousands of people outside the city? Herald...... The order goes down, stick here, and go to Songjiang Mansion for help, but if you can't hold here, the soldiers and civilians in the county are dead, let the king go back to the county seat first, and we will delay some more time, so as to teach the nearby people to enter the city as much as possible! ”

Hearing this, Wang Chang, the sea route inspector, was so frightened that his face turned green, this county order was a stunned person, this was planning to send all the brothers to death. It's just that although the two of them don't belong to each other, but the county order is a county parent, if the county order doesn't leave, if he escapes, I'm afraid it will be a big crime, at this time I can only cry with a sad face, and say: "Think twice, adult." ”

Nie Bao sneered: "What are you thinking about? The old man wants to think twice, but is it possible to think twice? Urgency, looking ahead and looking backwards, will only delay the fighters, so that everyone is ready, and the archers are ready. ”

Wang Chang had to go back to restrain everyone in a huff, but the murderous reputation of this widow is too great, and before Wang Chang can restrain him, many people have begun to scatter and flee, Wang Chang scolded a few words, went back to see Nie Bao, Nie Leopard's face was pale, and he yelled: "You wait to eat the people's fat and people's ointment, and raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a ......while."

As he was talking, the big ship was getting closer and closer, and the first was a fast sail coming, which was obviously a flat-bottomed sentry boat put down by the big boat, and it rushed directly onto the beach, and a few people jumped off the boat, all wearing unicorn suits, and someone shouted: "Which one is in charge?" Xu Qian, a bachelor of Hanlin, led the army to serve the Tianping Wo and called the prefect and the county order! ”

Such a roar, using the purest official language, and then looking at other people's clothing, although everyone has never seen it, but just looking at the texture of people's bodies, you know that it is a great character.

At this moment, the people who escaped did not escape, and the people who peed their pants were still flooding in the Yellow River, Nie Bao vaguely heard the six words of Xu Qian, a bachelor, and suddenly understood something, he wanted the people to fight back, but now he immediately dispelled the idea, and rushed forward in a hurry, and said: "I am the county magistrate of Huating, but I am Xu Shiyu, Xu Shishu, Xu Shishu...... Jiangnan monks, laymen, military and civilians, etc., have been looking forward to it day and night, and they are finally looking forward to it. Where is Xu Shiyu, I want to board the boat to pay respects......"

The person who came was Lu Bing, and he couldn't help but say: "My lord, get off the boat immediately, there is no need to pay respects, please ask someone to repair the trestle bridge." ”

Nie Bao's excitement can be imagined, Jiangnan has long been rumored, Xu Qian is a hero of the Ping Wa, because the official army is really not very powerful, don't look at every time there is a good news, but these things are fooling the court, but all the gentry in Jiangnan, who don't know that this is all fooling, usually the Japanese invaders landing, the officers and soldiers are late every time, and when the Japanese are swept away, they are satisfied with the far away to the sea, the official army only comes once as an afterthought, occasionally there are some willing to do their best, and often can't stop the ferocity of the Japanese invaders, repeatedly defeated, it is difficult to win, so that It highlights Xu Qian's greatness even more, people are real feats, there are them in the Di newspaper, and Ming Bao has also hyped them up.

Therefore, in the minds of the officials and people in Jiangnan, everyone else is fake, and few are really reliable, but only Xu Shiyu is different, as long as he is there, the Japanese will definitely be wiped out.

This time...... There is salvation!

Nie Bao was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't have the consciousness that a county order should have, and then again, after all, he had been frightened for so many days, and now someone was finally willing to be a pick-up man, and everyone was overjoyed, he hurriedly responded, and ordered someone to repair the trestle immediately, while chatting with Lu Bing, he naturally wanted to say something, such as how many heavenly soldiers Xu Shiyu brought, Lu Bing played a little trick with him, because before getting off the boat, Master Xu had an order, in order to calm people's hearts, he had to make the number bigger first, so he said firmly: " Xu Shiyu was worried about the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River, so he traveled day and night, and took the lead in bringing 2,000 vanguard elites, in addition to 30,000 elite soldiers and horses of the five major battalions of the imperial court, which had attacked from all directions, and it would take less than ten days to gather under the city of Hangzhou......"

"30,000 ......" Nie Bao gasped, this shelf is really big enough, but he really believes it, because theoretically speaking, since the imperial court came to serve the bachelor in command, this is equivalent to a quasi-deputy minister-level cadre coming to Pingwei with a holy decree, 30,000 horses, obviously not much, besides, look at these more than a dozen captains who came to pass the word, all of them are wearing Qilin uniforms given by Qin, and they are at least military attachés above the level of 100 households, this kind of person is just the first to land on the shore to negotiate with people, how big is the frame of this Bachelor Xu, such a big shelf, how can it be possible to bring one or two thousand people to fool around?
