Zhou Xiang panicked.

How to fight is here.

Soon, however, he became uncontrollably afraid.

You know, Taicang is not far from Zhenjiang.

It is also located at the mouth of the river, which is equivalent to the gateway along the Yangtze River.

During the Hongwu period, Taicang was just a county seat, and it was only later that Taicang was set up as a state for the needs of coastal defense.

You can see the importance here.

Zhou Xiang hurriedly said: "Thief...... It's very eye-catching, they are bound to know the inside story of my Daming, otherwise, how can they be the first to take Taicang Zhenhaiwei, two, can we still recapture Shuizhai? ”

He looked at Hu Yesheng and Liu Mingwu, with a slight expectation in his eyes, like grasping a life-saving straw.

Hu Yesheng didn't make a sound, but only looked at Liu Mingwu.

Liu Mingwu looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said embarrassedly: "Now that the Liu family army has been completely damaged, I am afraid that I will only be humble...... It is difficult to do it, and in humble terms, we should guard Taicang and sit back and wait for help. ”

Zhou Xiang raised his eyebrows, then paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, anxious like ants in a hot pot, and said, "If the superintendent asks, what do you say?" ”

Hu Yesheng and Liu Mingwu immediately understood what they meant.

Now that the land has been lost, the Liu Jiajun, who was pinned on high hopes, is estimated to have been completely wiped out.

It stands to reason...... Even if this is not the crime of defeating the army, it should be held accountable for the loss of land.

In general, in this case, you should hurry back to the water village and redeem the crime.

It is clear that Liu Mingwu is very unconfident, and it is difficult to say, whether Taicang can be kept is two words.

Now Zhou Xiang immediately realized that this was not the problem that was thorny.

Instead, once Liu Mingwu is convicted, what should he do?

If he is convicted, he will definitely not end well, after all, he has just come into contact with him, and he has suffered such a defeat, in order to set an example, he will never open the net.

But once this guy is going to be finished, then ......

Zhou Xiang's eyes became more and more confused, his military horses were stationed in his own territory, and these days, everyone did not communicate less on weekdays.

For example, although the money and grain of Zhenhaiwei's horses were not held in the hands of Taicang Prefecture to a certain extent, the transportation of money and grain was carried through the hands of Taicang Prefecture.

Here's ...... There is an account, once this Liu Mingwu is convicted, who knows if he will bite out something, it is unimaginable.

And Liu Mingwu also understood Liu Xiang's intentions, so he immediately said: "If the supervisor asks, he will say that the thief is very powerful, not to mention that he has done his best, and it is not a crime of war." ”

Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "If it's just like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain." No, Taicang is the gateway to Zhenjiang, once something happens, the sky may fall apart, and this matter must be made clear to the superintendent. ”

He has gradually calmed down, he is also a Zhizhou, and he is still a Jinshi, his brain is still very flexible, from the initial panic, to countless complex relationships in his mind, and now he probably has the idea of controlling the situation in his heart.

After a pause, he said with a solemn expression: "Taicang must not be lost, nor can it die, General Liu, the defense of the state city, you will deal with it, recruit the village braves, and fight the pirates." ”

What else could Liu Mingwu say, he hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Xiang then said to Hu Yesheng: "I'll repair a letter, you take it to Zhenjiang quickly and see the superintendent...... I'll explain what to say later. This matter is not trivial, the pirates are coming, and my Taicang Prefecture will become the target of the world, and if one is not handled well, something big will happen. ”

When Hu Yesheng heard that he was asked to go to Zhenjiang, he was greatly relieved, and hurriedly said: "Xiaguan will leave immediately." ”

"Let's ...... slowly" Zhou Xiang was silent for a moment, and then gave Liu Mingwu a look.

Liu Mingwu comprehended and said with interest: "Your Majesty will gather the stragglers first and inspect the city defense." ”

With that, he hurried away.

Hu Yesheng looked at Zhou Xiang, he knew that Zhou Xiang still had something to say.

When Liu Mingwu couldn't be seen, Zhou Xiang glanced at Hu Yesheng deeply and said, "This year...... Was the silk that was supposed to be transferred to the capital sent to Nantong Prefecture? ”

Hu Yesheng didn't think much about it, so he said: "Not yet, it's still in the treasury." ”

"Oh." Zhou Xiang nodded.

Hu Yesheng was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he immediately understood what he meant, so he continued: "But ...... On the way to transit...... It's hard to guarantee that you won't encounter pirates and be robbed by pirates. ”

Zhou Xiang bowed his head calmly and took a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "This is the silk woven in Jiangnan, and you and I can't afford to do anything bad on the way." ”

Hu Yesheng immediately came to the spirit.

He sorted out a joint, in fact, between him and Zhou Xiang, one is the chief officer and the other is the adjutant, and they don't have any friendship on weekdays.

But this time he was defeated, and he was pinched by Zhou Xiang, and now he still needs to rely on Zhou Xiang to wipe his ass.

Because of this, Zhou Xiang suddenly asked about the batch of silk, and Hu Yesheng knew it...... His own handle was manipulated, and this Zhizhou trusted himself instead.

So his eyes lit up and he said, "In the event of war, no one can be unpredictable...... Let alone...... It is also understandable that the soap officials below are not doing well. Besides, it is inevitable that there will be losses, and who can say anything about natural and man-made disasters. ”

Zhou Xiang sighed and said, "It's not me who covets this silk...... But today's affairs, the stakes are very high, if you can't check the dots, sooner or later you will be hated in the future, and then you and I will be sinners. You go to Zhenjiang first! ”

Hu Yesheng saluted and said, "Yes." ”

Hu Yesheng was about to turn around and leave, but Zhou Xiang suddenly said: "By the way, you said that in Taicang City, will there be a cavalry of Jinyi Guard?" ”

Hu Yesheng looked up at Zhou Xiang in surprise: "Xiaguan thinks ...... Probably. ”

Zhou Xiang frowned and said, "This is difficult." ”

Hu Yesheng looked at him fixedly and said, "Ming Gong means ......"

Zhou Xiang only said lightly: "Don't worry, in the letter, I will make this matter clear." ”

Hu Yesheng nodded: "Yes." ”

…………

The next day, Zhenjiang suddenly became nervous.

In fact, it was not only Zhenhaiwei that was attacked, but also Ningbo's Beiwei guards.

It's just that Zhenhaiwei was attacked, so that Zhenjiang was born haze, this Zhenhaiwei is the gateway, the other party dares to attack Zhenhaiwei, so the next step, isn't it possible to attack Zhenjiang?

For Inspector Wang Wenjun, he suddenly realized that things were not so simple.

As a result, countless people passed on one by one, and one after another official documents were sent to all parts of the coast as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Hu Yesheng arrived.

He first went to see the overseer, and then waited patiently for the overseer's message.

It took more than an hour for someone to inform him, and a moment later, he was taken to Xingyuan.

But I saw that this line was just a dilapidated temple in the past, but after a little repair, it became Wang Wenjun's office.

Therefore, after entering, you can still see that many places are in disrepair and mottled, and when you enter the lobby, the furnishings inside are also extremely simple.

It's just some half-worn tables and chairs.

When the superintendent went to the south of the Yangtze River, he did not disturb the people, and he heard that he would be sympathetic to the people by setting up this line here.

After entering the lobby, Hu Yesheng sat down, he couldn't see anything on his face, but he was uneasy in his heart.

After a while, I heard footsteps from far and near, and not long after, I saw a man in a bullfighting suit with a big red Qin, with a few adjutants, and in addition, there was also a military minister covered in armor.

The person at the head was Wang Wenjun, Wang Wenjun had a humble smile on his face, and took the lead in speaking: "From Taicang overnight, I arrived in Zhenjiang, and it was hard work." The matter of Taicang, I know, but how it is detailed, but there are still doubts and incomprehensions, you came just right, you don't have to stand up, and you don't have to be polite. ”

Although he said this, Hu Yesheng still got up, bowed respectfully and said, "I've seen the prince." Maharaja...... Xiaguan ...... Xiaguan ......"

Wang Wenjun is very generous, not to mention that he is dignified, and his complexion is well-maintained and fair, so he gives people a feeling of a humble gentleman.

At this time, he looked at Hu Yesheng kindly: "Don't panic, sit and talk back." ”

Hu Yesheng trembled and got up, and then hurriedly presented the letter of Zhizhou.

Wang Wenjun was also neat, directly opened the letter, took a closer look, and then said: "So, instead of being a defeated army, Taicang also killed thieves meritoriously?" That Liu Mingwu, in the face of the siege of the thief army, actually killed thousands of thieves, and all the soldiers died in battle, but he himself was pulled out of the pile of dead by his own soldiers? ”

Hu Yesheng said with a determined look: "Yes, Xia Guan was also present at that time, the pirates were overwhelming at that time, Xia Guan and General Liu were embattled, and the battle was fierce, which can be described by pen and ink." ”

"What the hell is the thief?"

"There are too many, at least more than a thousand."

Wang Wenjun nodded: "But what the letter says is...... The pirates lay in wait for dozens of miles. ”

Hu Yesheng said: "I'm afraid it's in the number of five thousand." ”

Wang Wenjun glanced at Hu Yesheng deeply, nodded, and said: "There is also a report here, Taicang was supposed to enshrine a batch of weaving bureau silk in the palace, but it was also robbed by pirates?" ”

Hu Yesheng said: "This is all the crime of the lower officials, and the lower officials did not expect the pirate attack...... So four days ago, the issuance of the transshipment, the result ......"

Wang Wenjun sighed and said, "State affairs are difficult. ”

After that, Wang Wenjun lifted his spirits and said: "In this letter, there is also a matter of saying that in Taicang City, someone who claims to be a brocade guard and a cavalry deliberately provokes trouble, arouses the indignation of the army and the people, and causes conflicts between them? ”

"This, the other party just claims to be self-proclaimed, and Xiaguan and Zhizhou guess that it may just be that there are traitors who claim to be Jinyiwei and show off their might. Want...... It won't be the real Jinyiwei's doing, or there was some misunderstanding during the period. It's just that the situation was chaotic at that time, rumors were rampant, and traitors were rampant, so it was not surprising that such a thing happened. ”

Wang Wenjun attached great importance to the matter of Jinyiwei, so he said: "The person involved, have you found it?" ”

"Of course, no one dares to care, because I'm afraid it's a real brocade guard."

"So...... Is this a headless case? ”

"Yes."
