"Negligent." Zhu Su patted his head with some annoyance.

Zhang Shicheng's remnants had an affair with the Japanese Invaders, which is clearly recorded in the history books of later generations. As soon as Zhang Ren mentioned the so-called "army", he should have thought of it a long time ago.

After all, Suzhou Mansion is also considered to be offshore, and such a large sea area is not an excellent place to hide soldiers?

The reason for this is just a blind eye. Zhang Ren and other subordinates previously called themselves "Taihu bandits". Suzhou Taihu Lake has a radius of nearly 600 miles (Ming system), Zhu Su thought that these bandits might hide in the water, but his thinking was only limited to Taihu Lake, and he did not think about the situation overseas.

Moreover, if it weren't for Shen Hai's incident, deep in his heart, he would not have equated "Wakou" with "Zhang Shicheng's remnants". Although the Ming Dynasty Wakou were divided into "real Wako" from Wajima, and "fake Wako" pretended by the Ming people. However, in the depths of Zhu Su's subconscious, he always felt that those Chinese compatriots who were forced to pretend to be Japanese criminals for their livelihood would only appear in the middle and late Ming Dynasty when "the land was seriously annexed, the government was corrupted, and the people were struggling to make a living".

After all, Lao Zhu in this era has not even promulgated the "sea ban" policy!

But I didn't think about it, a large part of the remnants of Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng, who were unwilling to surrender, hid in many reef islands outside the coastline, and obtained supplies by pretending to be Japanese robbers to "plunder......

ordered the deep sea to be captured and imprisoned, Shen Yuan was under martial law throughout the garden, and he had no time to pay attention to Zhu Su, who was wailing in the Shen family, and hurriedly went to the mansion with people. Along the way, Zhu Su informed Yao Guangxiao of his inference, Yao Guangxiao pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "Your Highness's argument must be correct." ”

"The commander Yang Lu once led his troops to clear Taihu Lake, if the thief really had an army hiding in Taihu Lake, Yang Lu could not have found out. And the water of Taihu Lake soared a few days ago, if there is really a large army, wouldn't it be all lost by the lake? ”

"And it is impossible to break the whole piece into pieces and infiltrate the victims. If this is the case, when the chaos broke out the night before, this army should take advantage of the chaos to fight out of the refugees in the west of the city and take advantage of the situation. ”

"And His Highness and others have also seen those refugees, most of them are yellow and thin, and they don't seem to be fake. Even if there are a few strong men, all of them are thieves, but they only account for one-tenth of them, which is not enough to make a difference......"

Zhu Su nodded, this is also the reason why he dares to build a building in the west of the city to lure the enemy, that is, he is sure that most of the refugees in the west of the city will not be in chaos after they have eaten enough. There must be only a few thieves in the city who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and have other intentions. After listening to Yao Guangxiao's analysis, Zhu Di over there also frowned: "It seems that the enemy is coming from the sea." ”

"If you know where you're coming from, that's easy!" Zhu Fan continued. "Mobilize soldiers to block these thieves, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

"Amitabha, this is ...... It's not easy to ......" Yao Guangxiao shook his head as he counted the prayer beads.

Several people came to the mansion, and happened to bump into Wei Guan, the prefect who had gone out to settle the people, also returned.

In order to show Suzhou Antai to the people of Suzhou, Wei Guan abandoned the sedan chair and rode a horse, and took a large group of officials to rely on swaggering through the city. He was already old, and he was a civil official who was not good at riding horses, and he had not slept all night last night, and he was quite shaky on his horse.

Seeing Zhu Su and a few people coming over in a hurry, he hurriedly cheered up and climbed off the horse with difficulty with the help of a servant: "The old minister has seen three highnesses!" ”

"How? So did Chen Hui recruit? ”

Seeing Wei Guan's red eyes, the worry between his eyebrows could not be hidden.

"The woman didn't make a move, but we already know what these remnants rely on." Zhu Su looked at Wei Guan's shaking legs with some concern. "Originally, I wanted you to convene the Suzhou subordinate officials to have a good discussion. But you're in ...... condition."

"Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

"At the moment of the great enemy, how can the old minister, as the prefect of Suzhou, sleep alone?" Wei Guan said urgently. "Your Highness won't sell the guanzi, it's better to tell the old minister quickly!"

"There's no hurry." Zhu Su shook his head. Wei Guan has quite an official reputation among the ministers in Suzhou, and if he falls, he may not be able to move the huge officialdom machine of Suzhou Mansion in a short period of time. "Let's gather all the subordinate officials and discuss it together."

"Mr. Wei should go and rest for a while......"

……

Even though Zhu Su used a private honorific title, Wei Guan, who was anxious, still didn't have the heart to rest, so he only went to the guest hall with Zhu Su and drank some tea to rest. With the orders of Zhu Su and Wei Guan, the officials scattered to summon many Suzhou ministers to the government to discuss matters. After a while, many officials in power in Suzhou Mansion at this time, Ru Taisu, who was patrolling the city, Chang Mao, who was cleaning up the aftermath in the dungeon, Suzhou Zhutongju, Pusher, Governor, and Zhaomo who were in the list of people everywhere, and even Cao Yuan, who temporarily took over the city defense at the city gate, Luo Guanzhong, who was still in Shen Yuan and Yao Guangxiao, and Di Meng, who was chasing the fugitive outside the city, named Zhu Su's personal guard and secretly the captain of the brocade clothes, were all called back.

Only the commander of the Suzhou Guard Station delayed Yang Lu's arrival. As the nominal military governor of Suzhou, if there were really thieves attacking, and he couldn't get around his purview, everyone had to wait here.

"This Yang Lu is such a big shelf! He made three of us, and so many of us, wait for him. What does he think he is? Zhu Fan was very unhappy.

"It won't be passed on for a long time...... According to my Ming military law, this person has ten heads, and he can be beheaded! Zhu Di also frowned. How did this man become a commander in the army? ”

"Your Highnesses will be angry for the time being." On the contrary, it was Wei Guan, a good old man, who spoke out to persuade him. "After all, this is not wartime, and this method in the army is not used."

"Commander Yang may have something else important, maybe he can't say."

Before he finished speaking, there was a neighing of horses outside, and then Yang Lu walked in quickly in a panic, and confessed as he walked: "The three highnesses forgive their sins!" There was chaos in the city last night, and it was inevitable that the morale of the army would fluctuate among the guards. ”

"The last general appeased the hearts of the army, so he hurried here, His Royal Highness has been waiting for a long time, and the crime is really death!"

As soon as he said this, the faces of some people in the hall suddenly eased slightly. There is no trivial matter in the army, and as the commander of the Suzhou Guard, he provoked the "bombing of the camp" because he was worried about the fluctuation of the army's morale, and it was reasonable for him to come only after completely appeasing the army's morale in the army.

"Hearing that the two highnesses have come to my Suzhou, I will be very happy." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little relaxed, Yang Lu turned his head and smiled at Zhu Fan and Zhu Di. "The two Highnesses should have been invited to a banquet, but since His Highness summoned him, it is reasonable, and the last general should also prepare some meeting gifts for His Highness."

"I came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to select. I had to take out these rare playthings from the treasury in the camp, and I hope that His Royal Highnesses King Qin and King Yan will not be blamed! As he spoke, Yang Lu asked people to carry a few things.
