As soon as Wang Wenjun heard the word bad, he suddenly had a headache.

Seeing the scribe who came to report the news, he couldn't help frowning, glared at the scribe and said, "What happened again?" ”

The scribe cried with a sad face: "At the mouth of the river, a huge ship was found, this huge ship was very large, and it was still smoking, rumbling, and the sound was very loud, and the people along the coast were all frightened and their faces were like earth, and there were countless fugitives. ”

Giant ships.

Wang Wenjun's face was miserable, and what he thought in his heart was, isn't it...... Pirates again?

Didn't you say that you would never enter the estuary?

Follow the estuary of the river, all the way upstream, and the destination can directly enter Zhenjiang.

Wang Wenjun couldn't help but said eagerly: "Isn't that damn pirate not trustworthy?" Someone, go and invite Mr. Deng to me. ”

Soon, Deng Yanzhi came quickly.

I asked.

Deng Yanzhi was silent for a long time.

The huge ship that came out of nowhere, nine times out of ten, is a pirate.

So why this move?

Deng Yanzhi immediately said: "Prince, according to the students, this is the pirates who have lost patience and deliberately want to put some pressure on the prince. ”

After hearing this, Wang Wenjun's face became gloomy, and then he said: "The conditions have been negotiated, and it is treacherous to be so aggressive." Doesn't he know that it takes time to strategize such a big thing? Without the will of the imperial court, how can it be moved lightly? ”

Deng Yanzhi: "The pirates are unreasonable, but the prince...... ...... the court."

"On the side of the court, the controversy is unresolved." Wang Wenjun said with annoyance: "Now I am asking the old man the truth about this Zhenjiang, asking the old man how much chance he has of winning, and now the one who knows the pirate situation best is the old man, as long as the old man bites the pirates rampant, it is really difficult to restrain it, Your Majesty and the court may agree to this peace discussion." It's just that this Franc machine man is inevitably too anxious. ”

"That being the case, then the prince should immediately facilitate this matter, as long as it is ......" Deng Yanzhi paused and lowered his voice: "The students have already been pulled over there to talk about it, and when it is time, it will naturally be beneficial." ”

Wang Wenjun listened to it and remained silent.

The benefits must be given to him.

How can it be that he should do things without benefit, and this is what he deserves.

However, he still had to show a calm appearance and not be tempted by these wealth.

What is Coats, what is elegant.

When you see the good, your eyes light up, and you quickly hold the good in your arms, which is called vulgarity, coarseness, and despicability.

And you see the benefits, but you look indifferent as a matter of course, still immovable, not only want people to send the benefits to you, but you also have a look of disgust, this is called elegance, called the demeanor of scholars.

So Wang Wenjun's expression gradually became calm, and said: "The old man has this intention, so he will repair the book to the imperial court, and tell the situation of the coastal provinces in words, has the old man ordered you to sort out the proclamations of the provinces?" ”

"It's done." Deng Yanzhi: "The students got the order of the prince, they didn't dare to slack off, and compiled all the reports into a book, mainly the reports that were in an emergency in various places, most of them said that the pirates were powerful, and the court couldn't defend them at all, and they were ......controlled everywhere."

Wang Wenjun nodded: "These are enough, the old man will play another one and send it to the capital as soon as possible." ”

After that, let people take pens, ink, paper and inkstones, only muttered for a moment, and then splashed ink.

He was a Hanlin at the beginning, and then he was the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, and then he was promoted to the imperial history of the right capital.

He showed Deng Yanzhi first, and after Deng Yanzhi saw it, he was full of praise: "The prince's pen and ink is really remarkable, and this sentence is also a warning to the world, the prince's painstaking efforts to love the people and protect the people are all on the paper. ”

Wang Wenjun said calmly: "This recital, is not written for the people to see, but to let people know, the situation in the coastal provinces has been so bad that the situation, if the war continues, I am afraid of the disaster of the country, right in front of me, the pirates are ferocious, these coastal provinces are rich land, if there is no war, no more peace, it is a thousand miles of red land, and the lives are ruined, okay, don't say more, immediately send out a report." Old man ......"

He paused, and then said, "What kind of earl, the leader of the pirates, is still in the city, right?" ”

"Yes, these days, he seems to be relaxed, and he spends his days in the city."

"Hmph." Wang Wenjun snorted coldly, a little displeased, he was anxious to death, but the other party did not shy away from it at all.

You must know that this person's identity is sensitive, but he is still wandering around Zhenjiang City, and everything is comfortable.

After thinking about it, Wang Wenjun said: "After dark, invite him here, there are some things, still need to be discussed, I guess that after this recital is sent, most of the court will approve the peace, and then it will be necessary to send this house to the capital, some things are good to ventilate, so as not to get the right number." ”

Deng Yanzhi listened to it, and nodded hurriedly: "The student sent out the recital, and I will do it." ”

……

The giant ship sailed all the way up the river.

Zhang Jingyi didn't know that when this huge ship appeared in the middle of the river, it had already caused panic on both sides of the strait. Many soldiers and civilians thought that the pirates had actually entered the river, and when they thought of the rumored murderous acts of the pirates, many people were frightened to flee.

Of course, it was mainly the wealthy families who fled, and they brought their families with them, and ordered people to put their property on the carriage and horses, hoping only to go in the direction of Nanjing.

On the same day, the ship finally anchored at Jindu, Zhenjiang Xi.

This is the foothills of Yuntai Mountain in the west of Zhenjiang City, not far from Zhenjiang City, this place is only seven or eight miles away from Zhenjiang.

Big ships cannot dock, they can only anchor in the middle of the river.

As a result, many people laid down the landing boats one after another.

First, a team of people landed, and then someone followed Zhang Jingyi to Xijindu.

This Xijindu was very lively in the past, but now it is a lot more sparse, and it turns out that many people have fled.

Because this is a critical place, a thousand households with hundreds of people are guarding here.

Seeing that a big ship suddenly came, he thought it was a pirate, he knew that the pirates were cruel, and countless people were martyred because of the attack of the pirates, at this time, he was already frightened and his face was miserable, thinking that at this time, his death was coming.

But he still stubbornly led a team of guards and men and horses, gathered the people, and set up a formation.

On the one hand, people went to report for help, but on the other hand, they had to tell everyone not to be afraid, blocking the pirates, there were mothers-in-law, and they had to reward money and food.

But wait until someone comes first and rode into their military town.

The person on the opposite side was wearing a brocade fish suit, and a waist card flicked in front of him: "The king of Liaodong County, the governor of Zuodu, and the chief military officer of Liaodong are here, and you are not waiting to greet him quickly." ”

These thousand households didn't believe it at first, but it can be seen that the other party didn't look at him, but he believed it all of a sudden.

Yes, that's the taste, Jinyiwei is like this, this kind of demeanor, others can't learn it.

So, I almost cried with joy, and hurriedly said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I will go and greet you." ”

Hurriedly rode a horse to the trestle bridge of the ferry, and sure enough, at this time, Zhang Jingyi put on an overcoat and slowly landed under the support of everyone.

The thousand households hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have seen the governor of the city. ”

Zhang Jing glanced at him and said, "Why, I see that you still want to shoot at us." ”

Qianhu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, it's just ...... It's just that...... It was dark, we didn't know who we were, and no one had informed us beforehand......"

Zhang Jingyi didn't get angry, but nodded: "It's not your fault, I just ask you, what is the situation of the pirates now?" ”

Knowing that it was not the enemy in front of him, this thousand households were completely relaxed at this time.

At first, he felt that he had to explain here, but now there is a joy of rebirth after the catastrophe, and he answered seriously to Zhang Jingyi's question: "Pirates are rampant, looting everywhere, Zhenjiang is quite peaceful, but ...... There are also rumors. ”

"What about Wang Wenjun, what did Wang Wenjun do?"

"Prince...... The prince ...... "For this question, these thousand households are obviously a little hesitant.

"What's the use of the imperial court asking for such an overseer."

"This ......" Qianhu was stunned.

All kinds of questions probably popped up in his mind: "What should I do?" ”

"The civil and military are out of harmony, should I say something?"

"If you say it, will it offend people, whether it is the governor or the prince, either of them can pinch me to death, I am so panicked."

Zhang Jing was speechless when he saw him.

But he smiled, stared at him and said, "Why, don't you speak?" ”

Qianhu looked at Zhang Jing fixedly for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "If you go back to the governor, the official document from the superintendent's yamen is full of errors and omissions, and there is no way to deal with it at all, but it is mostly some false and wrongful articles, and you will be honest with you...... Let's just say that Xijindu and let the lowly train the soldiers, but the people recruited them, and the money and food were not only in arrears, but also deducted. The weapons were said to be distributed, but they still had to collect money from our officers and soldiers for the weapons, saying that if everyone didn't make up the money, they wouldn't give it out......"

Zhang Jingyi knew it in his heart, and then said: "So that's the case, it's no wonder, let me ask you, are you convinced of a person like Wang Wenjun?" ”

"Serve ...... I am not convinced. Chiho replied cautiously.

Zhang Jingyi said patiently: "How do you say this? ”

"I accept his status as a messenger and a superintendent, but I don't accept that he does nothing here......"

"Haha........." Zhang Jing laughed, and actually thought that these thousand households were very interesting, so he smiled and said: "If the chief military officer and the superintendent are out of harmony, what will you do?" ”

Qianhu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He seemed to realize that this was a proposition!

It's probably the feeling of your mother and mother-in-law falling into the water together.

These thousand households thought about it very seriously, looked up and saw Jiang Xin's giant ship, and saw Zhang Jingyi's relaxed but seemingly determined appearance.

His gaze gradually became clear, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Listen to the governor." ”
