Chapter 222: Shocking News

"Well, this official will go with you!"

After listening to Hu Zongxian's description, Zhao Zhenji also felt the seriousness of the matter, and immediately spoke up.

"There's Lord Laochin!"

Hu Zongxian saw that Zhao Zhenji was also going with him, and a trace of gratitude appeared on his face.

With Zhao Zhenji, the minister of the Imperial Mission, present, this matter will be handled much more smoothly.

Soon, the two of them mounted their horses and hurried in the direction of the city gate!

Behind them, a large number of guards followed, responsible for their safety.

A moment later, Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji led the guards and rushed to the city gate.

"This official is Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, who just came to deliver the letter?"

I saw Hu Zongxian take a step forward and ask the official in charge of guarding the city gate.

Where did the officials guarding the city gate see such a battle, they immediately knelt on the ground and trembled: "Report...... Report to the Governor, the man who had just come to deliver the letter was exhausted, and his subordinates had ordered him to be sent down to rest. ”

"Well, bring the official over!"

Hu Zongxian nodded, and then instructed the comer.

"Yes, Lord Governor, please come with your subordinates!"

Soon, led by the official in charge of guarding the city gate, everyone came to the room where the previous man was resting, and pushed the door straight in.

At this moment, the person who had come to deliver the letter also sensed the movement in the room, opened his eyes suddenly, and touched his hand under the pillow.

"This official is Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, what you said earlier is all true?"

Hu Zongxian had a full view of the movements of the future, and then waved his hand to stop the guards who wanted to do it, and said lightly.

"You are Hu Zongxian?"

After the person finished speaking, he stopped the movements in his hands, and not only that, but also looked Hu Zongxian up and down.

"Bold, dare to call adults by their names!"

When the guards on the side heard this, they were furious, and they were about to take down the next person, but they were stopped by Hu Zongxian with his eyes.

"That's right, this official is Hu Zongxian! Next to this official is the minister sent by His Majesty to Zhejiang. ”

"Now, answer honestly! Is what you said earlier true? ”

The people who came were shocked by the momentum exuded by Hu Zongxian, and they no longer doubted Hu Zongxian's identity.

Immediately afterwards, I saw him kneeling on the ground, carefully taking out the letter in his arms, and said respectfully.

"This is the letter that my lord wants to entrust you to submit directly to the imperial court!"

"The letter describes in detail the current situation in Jiangxi."

After the person finished speaking, he added another sentence immediately.

Seeing this, the guards on the side took the envelope from the hand of the person who came and handed it to Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian took the envelope and did not rush to open it, but glanced at Zhao Zhenji on the side.

Seeing that Zhao Zhenji did not raise any objections, Hu Zongxian opened the letter and browsed the contents on it.

After a long time, I saw Hu Zongxian put down the letter and sighed: "It seems that the situation in Jiangxi has been eroded to the point that the imperial court must send a large army to clear it!" ”

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Zhenji, and the latter was also furious after reading the contents of the letter.

"These insects, how dare they!"

"Lord Zhao, the situation is urgent, we should inform Your Majesty of this matter immediately! Let His Majesty's side make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"Let's go back to the Doge's Palace now!"

After Hu Zongxian's reminder, Zhao Zhenji also quickly reacted and said.

Right now, what the two of them should do is to inform the Emperor of this matter as it is! And be ready to lead a large army and go to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion.

After all, this group of officials, not to mention accepting bribes from salt merchants, actually dared to unite and openly set up a feudal official!

And this, without a doubt, violates the bottom line of the imperial court!

At this point, the nature of the whole thing has completely changed, and this group of bold and reckless officials can be treated as a rebel force.

Since this is the case, then the imperial court also has a suitable reason to send a large army to suppress it, and the officials of the entire Jiangxi will not be able to escape the catastrophe!

"Convey the officer's order, from now on, mobilize the grain, grass, ordnance, salary, and other materials needed by the army! In addition, notify the nearby guard station, as well as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, so that they can prepare for battle. ”

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After receiving Hu Zongxian's order, the subordinates beside him quickly passed on the order one by one.

……

After Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji returned to the Governor's Palace, they didn't care about resting, and hurriedly began to write a secret letter to be submitted to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, Weichen just received a letter of help from Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe!"

In the letter, he described in detail the current situation in Jiangxi, where the big salt merchants in Jiangxi colluded with local officials to capsize, causing the imperial court to transport official salt to capsize.

"And this group of salt merchants took this opportunity to hoard Juqi, and then kept the price of salt high, making huge profits from it!"

"Moreover, Cao Shun, the governor of Jiangxi, and himself have been hollowed out, and the local political envoys, envoys, and commanders have no longer obeyed his orders!"

"In addition, even most of the officials in the government were bought by the salt merchants and became their puppets and eyeliners, and Cao Shunhe asked the imperial court to send a large army as soon as possible to suppress this rebel force."

"Right now, the situation in Jiangxi is not optimistic, therefore, Weichen implores His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Goodbye, Minister Hu Zongxian!"

Hu Zongxian put down the brush in his hand, and after the ink on the paper was dry, he handed it to Zhao Zhenji on the side.

"Lord Zhao, take a look!"

Zhao Zhenji took the letter from Hu Zongxian's hand and skimmed through the contents.

After a long time, I saw him nodding and saying to Hu Zongxian.

"This letter will be submitted to Your Majesty through the channel of this official!"

"As the minister, this official has the highest priority, and at that time, this letter will also be able to reach His Majesty as soon as possible."

"That's great!"

After listening to Zhao Zhenji's words, Hu Zongxian did not raise any objections, but nodded.

Seeing that Hu Zongxian agreed, Zhao Zhenji immediately put the letter paper into the envelope, and added his name and Hu Zongxian's name to the envelope.

After doing all this, I saw Zhao Zhenji call his subordinates and command in a deep voice.

"Get this letter to Your Majesty as soon as possible without any delay, understand?"

The subordinates who were summoned by Zhao Zhenji, after seeing the signature on the envelope, also understood that the content of the letter must be extremely important, and there must be no mistakes!

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will bring the letter as soon as possible!"

After the call, the visitor walked away quickly.

……

At this moment, in the main tent of the barracks, Qi Jiguang was fighting at night, studying the military books diligently.

Since the last time he followed Hu Zongxian on the expedition and captured Wang Zhi, Qi Jiguang has been idle.

In addition to his daily training of soldiers, he often studied military books.

Suddenly, he only heard a rush of footsteps from outside the camp tent, Qi Jiguang put down the book in his hand and couldn't help but become alert.

"Report to the General, there's news from the Governor!"

At this moment, I saw Qi Jiguang's personal guard walking in quickly and reporting to him.

"Oh, what's the news from the Governor?"

After listening to the words of the visitor, Qi Jiguang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but be curious.

Right now, most of the pirates in the southeast coastal area have been wiped out! The remaining part of the widows have also gone into hiding and do not dare to come forward again.

What is it that can make the Governor so concerned that he sent someone to deliver the news at such a late hour?

"Report to the general, the Governor has just ordered to start pumping the grain, grass, ordnance, silver and other materials needed by the army from all over the place, and let us be ready for battle at any time!"

"Your Excellency the Governor said that as soon as His Majesty's order arrives, he will personally lead the army to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion!"

"What, go to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion! Is there a rebellion on the Jiangxi side? ”

Qi Jiguang was also taken aback when he learned the news from his subordinates, and hurriedly came to the map and began to analyze the current situation.

"Report to the general, according to the person sent by the governor, the governor of Jiangxi, Cao Shunhe, has been vacated by his officials!"

"He sent a letter asking for help to the Governor, hoping that the imperial court would send a large army as soon as possible!"
