Quanzhou, since ancient times is an extremely important treaty port, but since the seventh year of Hongwu, after the imperial court abolished the city of the city here, as well as the influence of the sea ban policy, this place is more and more depressed, the people are more and more poor, although the name has not changed, still called Quanzhou Mansion, but in fact has been reduced to a county, the defenders in the city are only more than 1,000 people.

Generally speaking, no official is willing to serve in such a remote place that is not valued and full of troubles, which means that he will not be able to make political achievements, and it also means that his career will stop here, and he can only be a small magistrate for the rest of his life!

And Yang Zongtai, the magistrate of Quanzhou Prefecture, was the unlucky guy who was sent to Quanzhou Mansion to be an official! Just because he didn't take care of his boss at the beginning, he was "assigned" to this bitter cold place. When he first arrived, Yang Zongtai also wanted to make some political achievements, but the cruel reality soon woke him up: Quanzhou Mansion had no money, and the deficit left by the previous county order had not been filled.

If there is no money, the officials will not be able to open their money, and if they cannot open it, the officials will strike passively, and the officials will strike passively, and the law and order in the city will become more and more corrupt, and the law and order will deteriorate, and the more the people will flee, and the people will flee, and no one will pay taxes, which is an endless circle without solution.

But fortunately, Yang Zongtai still has some ability, and with his efforts, he barely made up for the deficit of his predecessor, and he no longer had to borrow money from neighboring counties to get by, and the officials' income was also guaranteed.

When night falls, Quanzhou City, the inner courtyard of the county government.

"Damn, I'm going to get out of this place someday!" Recalling what he had experienced over the years, Yang Zongtai put down his wine glass quite angrily.

The officials who joined the company at the same time as him are now all higher than him, and some even climbed into the relationship with the Yan family, promoted all the way, and rose to the top.

"Okay, you drink less, you'll have to take a turn later." Yang Zongtai's wife pushed open the door and walked in.

Yang Zongtai's wife is a childhood sweetheart, growing up together, and after Yang Zongtai won the fame, he came to the door to propose, and the husband and wife got along with each other and had a son.

"On duty, on what shift? Will anyone come to this place again? ”

Yang Zongtai looked at his wife, but still put the wine glass down.

"I've treated you badly all these years, I have no ability to be a husband, I have been an official for so many years, and I am just a small magistrate."

"Don't say that, husband, it's enough for me to be with you, and I don't dare to ask for anything else." Yang Zongtai's wife smiled gently and responded.

"By the way, how is Lin'er? Haven't you done your homework yet? ”

"Lin'er has already fallen asleep, and so are you, how old is he, so give him such a difficult homework!" The wife said, with a strange tone in her voice.

"It's good to read more books, and I hope he won't be like his father in the future."

"Don't talk about discouragement, didn't you say you had found your way before?" His wife came to Yang Zongtai and sorted out his clothes for him.

"Alas, the price they ask for is too high, forget it! Don't mention this, I'm on duty. ”

"Well, stay safe."

……

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Since receiving the order of his boss Hu Zongxian, he led more than 2,000 people of the Qi family army, as well as the Ming army stationed in the guard post near Quanzhou Mansion, a total of more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, a total of more than 6,000 people, to the city of Quanzhou.

There are more than ten kilometers away from Quanzhou City, and a group of more than 5,000 Japanese robbers are stationed here, and the leaders are Xu Hai and Chen Dong.

In the tent, the two chiefs sat opposite each other, the tables were filled with delicious food and wine, and the women who had taken them from behind were serving them diligently.

Xu Hai had a shocking scar on his face, which gave him a fierce feeling.

In recent years, he has sent people to search for famous doctors, and the results are that there is no possibility of regaining his sight.

Behind the two leaders, there are countless ragged and armed with simple weapons and looking indifferent, among the Japanese ronin, the number of Japanese ronin is only a minority, and more are the people who have lost their way to live because of the sea ban policy and heavy taxes, in order to eat, they take weapons.

"Why haven't they come yet? Is it exposed! Xu Hai frowned, picked up his wine glass, and hesitated in his heart.

"How can it be so fast, big brother, don't be suspicious, relax." Chen Dong, who was wearing an eye patch, comforted him.

"For some reason, I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart." Xu Hai picked up a mouthful of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"This plan was planned by Lord Wang Zhi himself, and he also took the lives of so many brothers! As long as we take Quanzhou City, we will come if we want to come in the future, and leave if we want, and those Ming troops will never be able to catch us again! ”

When it comes to the Ming army, Chen Dong's tone is full of unforgettable hatred, these damn Ming soldiers blinded themselves in one eye, and killed their concubines who had been captured with hard work before, but as long as they broke through Quanzhou City, women of such a posture are up to their choice.

Thinking of this, there was a burst of heat in Chen Dong's lower abdomen, and his expression became more and more eager, eager to go to attack Quanzhou City immediately.

"Chief, they've arrived!" Outside the tent, a soldier came to report.

"Come in, please." When the two people in the tent heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly got up to greet them.

……

The capital, the palace of nourishing the heart.

Jiajing looked at the cabinet ministers who knelt down in front of him, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

"It's so late, the duty of the cabinet has long ended, do you have anything important to tell me?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers have something important to say!"

"This is the front-line battle report sent by Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang! Due to the urgency of the situation, we took matters into our own hands, and did not let the celebrant approve the red, but thought of presenting it to His Majesty. ”

As the first assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song was the first to speak, and Lu Fang, who had been standing by Jiajing's side from the beginning, saw this, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes.

"But you won?" Jiajing took the fold from Yan Song's hand and opened the envelope.

"Your Majesty, Qi Jiguang, a subordinate of Hu Zongxian, led the army to annihilate more than 2,000 Japanese in Fenghua, Ninghai and other places, and also seized the news of the Japanese leader Wang Zhi, which is the battle process and the list."

After Yan Song took the lead in speaking, Xu Jie, who was the second assistant of the cabinet, also stepped forward to explain.

After Jiajing finished reading the contents of the letter, his face was happy, and then he said: "Okay, the people on this list have all been promoted to one level!" I'll leave this matter to the Cabinet. ”

As if suddenly remembering something, Jiajing added: "In addition, tell Hu Zongxian for me that he has done a good job!" Forget it, I'll do it myself. ”

Immediately afterwards, Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang beside him, coughed lightly, looked at the ministers of the cabinet, and warned painlessly: "Okay, forget it this time, don't take it as an example!" Either way, you have to follow the process. ”

"Yes, the ministers are guilty." Yan Song was the first to kneel on the ground to admit his mistake, and then a group of cabinet members behind him also knelt on the ground.

"Alright, get up, is there anything else?"

"Your Majesty, no!"

Just as the ministers wanted to bow down and leave, Jiajing spoke: "Zhang Juzheng stays, I still have something to discuss with him." ”

Under the jealous gaze of Xu Jie and Yan Song, as well as Yan Shifan's jealous gaze, Zhang Juzheng bowed down.

"Your Majesty is very happy today!"

"yes."

Walking out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xu Jie and Yan Song walked in front, supporting each other and greeting each other, while Yan Shifan and Gao Gong, who were following behind, looked at each other with disgust, and simply snorted coldly and turned their heads away.
