After Jiajing finished sighing, he immediately supported his chin with his hand and thought about the feasibility.

"Well, the current situation in the southeast coastal area is indeed as Hu Zongxian said, and the Japanese there can no longer afford to make any waves."

"It's time for the country's strategic focus to shift."

"Hmph, Tartar, I have let you come and go!"

Jiajing said, put aside the letter sent by Hu Zongxian to himself, immediately spread out the pen and paper, and began to write the letter.

"What Aiqing said in the letter, I already know, and the current strategic deployment of the imperial court should be adjusted!"

"In addition, not only should the strategic focus of the imperial court be shifted, but there should also be new changes in the strategy of suppressing the Japanese in the southeast coastal area."

"For those Japanese robbers, they can't be captured as before, and they will all be killed!"

"It's about screening out those who are willing to be loyal to my Daming, and as for those stubborn widows, according to the past practice, they can be killed directly!"

"In addition, the imperial court will immediately issue a corresponding notice, at that time, more ports will be opened for trade with Fanbang merchants, and the original abandoned ports in Zhejiang will also be restored."

"I see all the merits of Aiqing."

"My previous promise has not changed, and after the southeast coast is completely settled, you will officially enter the cabinet!"

When the last word fell, Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully checked it from beginning to end, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he put the brush aside.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, is this your reply to Hu Zongxian?"

Seeing this, Lu Fang on the side immediately asked.

"Well, that's right."

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang rather strangely and responded.

"Before this, the situation in the southeast coastal area was all supported by Hu Zongxian alone!"

"At present, the Japanese in the southeast coastal area are no longer in the climate, and this Hu Zongxian has given me a note, saying that he wants the imperial court to gradually shift its strategic focus to the Tatars in the north."

"This Hu Zongxian has lived up to my expectations! I still feel that the reward for Hu Zongxian is still a little lacking. ”

When Jiajing mentioned this matter, his tone was full of emotion.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave maid also thinks that the imperial court should not hesitate to reward ministers like Hu Zongxian who have made meritorious contributions!"

When Lu Fang on the side heard this, he also followed closely with Ying Hedao.

Just as Jiajing and Lu Fang were chatting, the ink on the paper was already dry.

"Lu Fang, give this letter to Hu Zongxian, don't make any mistakes in the middle!"

"Got it?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he put the letter paper on the bookcase into the envelope and admonished.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

Seeing that the emperor attached so much importance to this letter, Lu Fang immediately looked awe-inspiring and replied in a deep voice.

"Well, that's good."

"By the way, when the time comes, you go and send someone to inform King Yu and King Jing, and say that I miss them, let them come to see me!"

Just as Lu Fang was about to step out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Jiajing's voice came from behind him.

Hearing this, Lu Fang's pupils suddenly contracted, his face was full of incredulity, and a monstrous wave was set off in his heart.

"What, Your Majesty wants King Yu and King Jing to come to meet at the same time!"

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to ......?"

At this moment, Lu Fang imagined countless possibilities in his mind, and the expression on his face gradually changed in the direction of panic.

"Lu Fang, what do you say, did you hear that?"

Jiajing looked at Lu Fang, who was stunned in place, frowned slightly, and then urged.

Hearing the emperor's urging words, Lu Fang came back to his senses, only to see that he forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, forced a smile, and responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave knows."

"Well, now that you know, then hurry up and do it, don't grind!"

I saw Jiajing waving his hand impatiently and commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Lu Fang said this, he didn't dare to stop for the slightest, and hurriedly left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

……

Fujian, Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Under the leadership of Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, most of the bandits who were previously entrenched in the entire Fujian Province, large and small, with intricate relationships, have been exterminated!

And the methods adopted by the army are also extremely bloody, after catching the bandits, regardless of the reason, they will be tortured and killed!

Not only that, but the army would cut off their heads and hang them on nearby trees as a sign of their impropriety.

In addition, the army did not spare all those who had anything to do with the bandits, and killed them all! The family property he has worked hard to accumulate has also made wedding dresses for others.

Those bandits who survived were also afraid of the cruel measures taken by the government, and did not dare to make waves again, so they chose to flee incognito and flee this place.

I'm afraid that the butcher's knife of the army will fall on me in the next moment!

And two full days have passed since the successful triumph of the army, and the officials of the government have been sleepless day and night before sorting out the battle report.

At this moment, Tan Lun was sitting next to the bookcase, listening to his subordinates report the results of the battle.

"Lord Governor, this work to suppress bandits has been a great success!"

"At present, most of the bandits in Fujian have been wiped out, and the rest of them are also terrified all day long, and they dare not come out to make waves again."

"In this battle, our army suffered a total of 623 casualties!"

"A total of 23,820,000 taels of silver were seized, and in addition, many antique calligraphy and paintings, land deeds, and land deeds were confiscated from the homes of the landlords and gentry who were related to the bandits."

"It is conservatively estimated that the land deed that was confiscated this time is about 15,000 acres when converted!"

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Tan Lun also nodded, and then ordered.

"Well, this official knows all these situations."

"For those soldiers who unfortunately died in battle, they will be paid double the salary and pension according to the previous agreement!"

"If they have children in their families, they can go to the government's voluntary school to study, and if there are elderly people, the government will fund and support them, and they will be supported by the government!"

"If the official finds out and someone dares to do anything on this, the official will definitely pick his skin!"

When Tan Lun said this, he suddenly increased his tone.

"Yes, my lord, the next official will do it!"

Hearing Tan Lun's words, the respectful look on the subordinate's face remained unchanged, and he immediately responded.

"Well, this official still has something to deal with next, you can go down."

After Tan Lun finished speaking, a look of exhaustion appeared on his face, and he said.

"Yes, Governor!"

After the subordinate responded, he left the room where Tan Lun was, and also closed the door with him.

After his subordinates left, Tan Lun looked at the finished report on the table and muttered to himself.

"Fifteen thousand acres of land, two thousand three million eight hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, this group of damn moths should have been killed a long time ago!"

"It's time to write a letter to Your Majesty and Elder Xu Ge!"

"After all, if this fifteen thousand acres of land is really distributed to the hands of the people, it has to rely on the strength of Xu Gelao."

Soon, Tan Lun put aside the chaotic thoughts in his heart and began to write letters to the emperor and Xu Jie.

"Your Majesty, Weichen Tan Lun, at present, most of the local bandits in Fujian have been exterminated by Weichen, and a total of 23.82 million taels of silver have been confiscated, in addition to 15,000 acres of land!"

"These two three million eight hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, Wei Chen plans to transport this silver to the capital through the Grand Canal."

"At that time, I hope that Your Majesty will send a brocade guard to pick it up!"

"In addition, Weichen plans to distribute all the fifteen thousand acres of land to those landless people according to the instructions of Xu Ge Lao in the letter before, but among them, Xu Ge Lao and their help are indispensable."

"Therefore, Wechen intends to ......"

After Tan Lun finished writing the letter presented to the emperor, he immediately summoned his cronies and commanded.

"Hand this letter to Your Majesty, and don't pass anyone's hand in between, understand?"

"Yes, Governor!"

Seeing the look on Tan Lun's face, the cronie immediately replied in a deep voice.

"Well, without further ado, you can go now!"

Tan Lunxuan withdrew his gaze from his cronies and said slowly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will deliver the letter to Your Majesty in person!"

After the cronie finished speaking, he left the room without looking back.

Tan Lun looked at the back of his cronies leaving, shook his head, quickly sorted out his thoughts, spread out the pen and paper, and continued to write.

"Elder Xu Ge, Xiaguan Tan Lun, the current situation in Fujian is very good, and most of the local bandits have been exterminated by Xiaguan."

"The silver taels that were copied out, the lower officials have already sent people to transport them to the capital through the Grand Canal, and they should be on the way now!"

"In addition, in this campaign, a total of 15,000 acres of land have been confiscated, and the officials are weak, and I hope that Xu Ge Lao will help and send officials to come and distribute all these lands to the people!"

"Old ...... Xu Ge"
