Gao Shishu couldn't bear the urgency, and not long after the two gangs joined together, they changed the conservative trend of the Tao gang and adopted a radical strategy, invading the southeast coast and harassing the coastal residents.

During this time, Su Qi has been stepping up the training of the anti-Japanese special army, and finally has the opportunity to show his skills and lead the army to the battlefield. As long as you meet the Japanese Invaders, almost from the moment the Wolf Monkey appears, it becomes a crushing blow to the Japanese Invaders by officers and soldiers, and they win every battle without defeat.

In just over a month, Gao Shishu's men lost one-third of their lives and suffered a big loss. He didn't believe in this evil, so he wantonly recruited manpower on the one hand, and sent more Dongying samurai on the other side to continue to increase the offensive.

It's good that the Dongying samurai didn't come, but when they came, they lost even worse. The wolf sword was originally designed for their katana, and the special army against the Shangdong Ying people was like water meeting fire, and all battles were won, and it was a great victory for our side with almost no casualties, and the arrogance of the Japanese was completely extinguished.

Generally speaking, the individual combat effectiveness of the Dongying warriors is much higher than that of ordinary pirates, and seeing that his most proud subordinates have been defeated extremely miserably, Gao Shishu only then realized that what Tao Lian said was true.

In order to preserve his strength, Gao Shishu had no choice but to slow down the offensive, while withdrawing his men to the sea, while shifting the focus of the attack, avoiding the monolithic Zhejiang, and instead invading the neighboring Fujian.

From the beginning of the year when the special army joined the anti-Japanese battlefield to the early summer of April, in less than four months, more than 5,000 Japanese were beheaded and nearly 1,000 were captured. For a time, Zhejiang's anti-Japanese situation was very good.

The good news reached the capital, and at the court meeting, Emperor Jingfeng Long Yan Dayue said excitedly: "Good! Good! Good! The widows who have plagued the coast for so many years finally have a way to solve it, and this is really a heart problem for me! ”

Emperor Jingfeng said three good words in a row, which shows that he is in a very good mood. The ministers bowed down and bowed, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Such a thorough eradication of the Japanese and the realization of stability in the southeast is just around the corner! ”

"Get up." Emperor Jingfeng pointed to the good news in his hand, and his eyebrows fluttered, "What did I say at the beginning?" Shen Baiyi is a capable person, he is not a straw bag, look, didn't he invent the military array and wolf whire, which played a big role in the anti-Japanese war? ”

"In the future, whoever dares to chew the root of his tongue and say that Shen Baiyi is not worthy of the position, I will throw him to the southeast to see how much he has the ability to resist the Japanese!"

The ministers looked at their noses and noses, and did not dare to answer.

Emperor Jingfeng, from a young monarch who walked on thin ice and was constrained everywhere at the beginning of his accession to the emperor now, relied on accumulating power step by step in the game with his ministers, and proved that he was right.

When Shen Baiyi first came to Zhejiang, his performance was really bad, which caused resentment from many parties, Jingfeng Dili ignored public opinion, unswervingly supported him on the one hand, and secretly transferred Dingguo Gong to the southeast to help Shen Baiyi fight against the Japanese.

Now that the anti-Japanese effect has been revealed, it just proves that Shen Baiyi is right, and Emperor Jingfeng, who appointed Shen Baiyi, is even more right, and no one dares to criticize it.

Looking at the ministers who were aggressive and wanted to force themselves to remove Shen Baiyi, but now they have become quails who dare not speak, Emperor Jingfeng felt even more comfortable, drew his attention back to the good news, and said with a smile: "Su Qi is also worthy of being the descendant of the Su family, he can fight the Tatars in the north and the Japanese in the southeast, and he has done everything well, this is the minister of my Great Xia." ”

"In addition to Shen Baiyi and Su Qi, Mei Feng, the governor of Zhejiang, and Ning Yuan, the political envoy, are all great contributors to the fight against the Japanese invaders." Speaking of this, Emperor Jingfeng remembered again, "Oh, by the way, there is also Gu Yunji, the prefect of Shaoxing, and at the same time the supervisor of the anti-Japanese special army, which is really amazing." ”

Counting Gu Yunji's achievements as a foreign magistrate in recent years, any one of them is extremely dazzling, and Emperor Jingfeng is very satisfied with his performance: "When Gu Yunji was in the southwest, he introduced the artichoke of Amerika into my Great Xia, which solved the hunger of the people to a large extent. ”

"Now that he has arrived in Zhejiang, he can still assist in the fight against the Japanese, whether it is Shen Baiyi or Mei Feng, they all praise him in the excerpts, for fear that I really don't know how good he is. Gu Yunji is only in his twenties, and he has made remarkable political achievements, even if he is a prince, there are few people who have such achievements at his age! ”

Saying that, Emperor Jingfeng looked at Gu Yuanhui in the train, and teased with a smile: "Gu Qing, there is such a promising offspring in the family, you are afraid that you will wake up laughing from your dreams, right?" ”

As Gu Yunji's cousin, Gu Yuanhui is of course happy that his nephew has a future, but Emperor Jingfeng's words are too hateful. Feeling the envious or jealous gazes projected by the surrounding brushes, Gu Yuanhui oozed fine sweat from the corners of his forehead, and said with a dry smile:

“…… Your Majesty has overdone it. Although Weichen is happy that Gu Yunji is his own son, he is even more happy that he can share his worries for His Majesty and contribute to the court. ”

Emperor Jingfeng laughed when he heard this: "Hahahaha...... Gu Yuanhui, you, you! You may not have been as good as Gu Yunji when you were young, but with your ability to speak smoothly, your nephew still has to learn more from you! ”

Having said so, Emperor Jingfeng was obviously still pleased by Gu Yuanhui's words, and said with a smile: "But Gu Qing is right, this Gu Yunji is an official of the imperial court, and his political achievements are directly linked to the interests of the imperial court." I have such a capable minister, why should I be upset? Why don't you worry about it? ”

Emperor Jingfeng has been uncertain in recent years, and he rarely looks so happy, which shows that he is indeed happy from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, the crown prince Li Jinze stepped forward and said, "Father, the son has a proposal. ”

The fourteen-year-old prince was just allowed by Emperor Jingfeng to enter the court at the beginning of this year, and after receiving the teachings of famous scholars and Confucians for several years, although Li Jinze still has some young childishness, he has grown up to be gentle and dignified, and he has the demeanor of a prince, and he is no longer the cowardly child who secretly learned the three-character scripture outside the palace.

Seeing that the eldest son has grown step by step into the ideal heir in his heart, Emperor Jingfeng's attitude towards Li Jinze has become more and more friendly in recent years, and he raised his hand when he heard the words and said: "What does the prince have to say." ”

Li Jinze said: "Erchen thinks that although Gu Yunji has been very effective in assisting Shen Baiyi and others in fighting against the Japanese, he is a civil official after all, and it is inconvenient to act, for fear of provoking criticism, but the imperial court selects talents in an eclectic manner, and the employment of people should not be limited to the rules." ”

"In order to restore peace and tranquility on the southeast coast as soon as possible, why don't you give Gu Yunji an upright identity, so that he can better assist the Zhejiang generals in fighting against the Japanese?"

Emperor Jingfeng pondered for a moment when he heard this, nodded and said, "...... What the prince said is reasonable, although Gu Yunji is said to be the supervisor of the special army, but it is a title given to him temporarily by the governor Mei Feng, which is somewhat unjustifiable, if he interferes in military affairs as a civilian official for a long time, it is really not good, so it is better to give him an official position. ”

Thinking like this, Emperor Jingfeng looked at Cheng Yan in the train: "Cheng Yan, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Literature, what do you think about this Gu Yunji's position?" ”
