Chapter 1461 Zhang Jing’s Second Test (Part 1)

Uh, aren’t I strict enough in running the army? ! Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be startled after hearing Zhang Jing's comments about his kindness and mercy. I have established military laws and strictly enforced them. Is this still mercy?

Zhang Jing did not give Zhu Pingan a chance to speak, and continued to ask, "Is your regiment capable of fighting now?"

Hearing this, Zhu Pingan shook his head frankly and smiled bitterly. He said, "Returning to your lord, the Zhejiang Army under Xiaguan's command has only been training for more than half a month. It is only the beginning of training." The prototype of an army has not yet been formed, and its combat effectiveness is limited. It is difficult to fight." At this point, Zhu Pingan changed the topic again and said with a firm face, "Despite this, I guarantee with my life and property that the Zhejiang Army will be able to fight." We will return when we are called back, we will respond when we fight, and we will fight to the death to complete our mission!”

Zhang Jing! Hearing this, he nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Zhu Pingan with admiration, "You are very honest, which is quite rare. If you answer that you can fight, can fight, and are good at fighting, I will serve tea to see you off. This is very well said, I will recall you when I am called back, and I will respond to you in battle. You have the demeanor of a veteran general with many years of experience. If you are a military Everyone in the officer has this awareness, so why worry about the injustice of the Japanese pirates and the uncertainty of the northern captives. However, some things are easier said than done. As for the so-called food preparation and tailoring, I will not force others to do it. You will train strictly after you return. One day we will be able to use your Zhejiang army.”

There will be a day when we will be useful in the future. The subtext means that we will not be needed now or in the near future

That’s the case.

Nowadays, the regular troops at the Beijing Camp and Guard Station near Yingtian really have no need for the militia under him, which has less than a thousand people and less than a month of training.

Zhu Ping'an also has self-knowledge in his heart.

Dong dong dong.

At this moment, there were three knocks on the door and the voice of the officer reporting, "Master Shangshu, I have something to report for my humble duty."

Zhang Jing said, "Come in." After the officer came in, After arriving, Zhang Jing asked, "Secretary of Qi, what do you have to report?"

"I would like to inform you, Master Shangshu, that Zhang Xuan from Nanzhili and Councilor Zhang came to the Yamen to ask for an audience." The Secretary of Qi bowed and reported.

"Why did Counselor Zhang come here?" Zhang Jing asked.

Qi Shuli bowed and replied, "Reporting to your lord, Zhang Shenyi said that he accidentally obtained a volume of "Wartime Notes" written by monk Huaisu yesterday. It recorded a war in the Tang Dynasty. The writing style Like a sudden rain and whirlwind, the hall was full of momentum. Counselor Zhang could not tell whether the post was written by Monk Huaisu. Thinking of the great man's literary and military talents, he came to ask for advice. "

Zhang Jing couldn't help frowning when he heard this, waved his hand impatiently, and said to the scribe without hesitation, "Tell Senator Zhang that I am busy with affairs and have no time to discuss with him. Please ask him to go back."

When Zhu Pingan heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.

Zhang Jing declined Counselor Zhang’s visit, so why did he receive him? In terms of rank, status, and weight, I am inferior to Counselor Zhang in every aspect. Counselor Zhang is a fourth-rank official in charge of military affairs in South Zhili.

"Yes." The scribe took the order and left.

"Master Zhu is wondering why I saw you but not Councilor Zhang?" Zhang Jing noticed Zhu Ping'an's confused expression and asked softly.

"I do have this doubt," Zhu Ping'an said frankly.

"I am really busy with my affairs. The reason why I see you is because you are the only official who has come to the Yamen to check the detailed files of Japanese pirates in these days. Now the Japanese pirates are becoming more and more serious, and they have become the leader of the south of the Yangtze River. If you want to cause serious harm, getting rid of the Japanese has become a top priority. If you are interested, I will naturally see you. As for appreciating calligraphy and the like, I don't have the time!" Zhang Jing spoke slowly and untied Zhu. The doubts in Ping An's heart.

So, Zhu Pingan understood immediately. I was the only official who came to check the detailed files on the Japanese pirates. Who was the other person?

"Before you, Hu Zongxian, the censor of Zhejiang Province, also came to check the detailed files of recent Japanese pirates."

Zhang Jing looked at Zhu Ping'an's expression as if he could read minds. Then he knew what Zhu Pingan was thinking and took the initiative to speak.

Hu Zongxian!

Hearing that Hu Zongxian took the initiative to check the detailed files of the Japanese pirates, Zhu Ping'an was not surprised, because in history, Hu Zongxian's main historical merit and achievement was to destroy the Japanese, and those who made great achievements in destroying the Japanese would naturally understand. He knows how to survive a hundred battles.

"It's rare that Mr. Zhu is a thoughtful person. What do you think about the current Japanese invasion?"

Zhang Jing asked Zhu Ping'an.

“The problem of Japanese invasion began in the pre-Yuan Dynasty and has continued to this day for more than 150 years. Before, Japanese pirates had not caused a major intrusion, but it is different now. In recent years, Japanese pirates have invaded. The trend has worsened, especially since this year, the situation has changed suddenly, and the Japanese invasion has become increasingly serious. The official checked the files and found out today The seriousness of the Japanese invasion since 2000 is very different from the previous ones. It has the characteristics of frequent occurrence, long duration, large scale, large number of people, and wide area. The number of these Japanese pirates reaches tens of thousands, and the places where they land and plunder are all over the southeast coast. Later, they no longer fled as quickly as before. Instead, they established strongholds along the coast and stayed there for a long time, ready to rob them at any time. The most obvious example is the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu! The Japanese pirates in Shangyu have penetrated deep into Huizhou! Among the Japanese invaders, there are not only real Japanese pirates, but also fake Japanese pirates. A large number of coastal residents have joined the Japanese pirates. , committed evil crimes and committed many evil deeds. The official believes that the Japanese invasion this year can be called a "big Japanese invasion". Jiangnan is rich and has always been the focus of our country's wealth. The Japanese invasion in Jiangnan directly affects our country's financial income and the stability of our country. It shakes the foundation of our country. Exterminating the Japanese pirates and quelling the Japanese rebellion is not only our country's top priority! The top priority is even more urgent than that of Beilu, and it is urgent to exterminate the Japanese pirates!”

Zhu Pingan thought for a moment and replied slowly.

After hearing Zhu Ping'an's answer, Zhang Jing couldn't help but nodded, "Mr. Zhu, you are really serious. There are many times, a long time, a large scale, a large number of people, and a wide area. What do you think about the situation of Japanese invasion this year? That's a good summary."

"Thank you, sir." Zhu Pingqian. Xu said, "As long as you pay a little attention, you can see these things."

"Haha, some people can't see it. The Japanese invasion is so serious now, but they still have the heart to appreciate calligraphy. It's really ridiculous!" Zhang Jing couldn't help but sneered, and once again mocked Councilor Zhang for asking for help.

Uh.

It seems that Senator Zhang was remembered negatively by Zhang Jing!

I originally wanted to get closer to Zhang Jing through Monk Huaisu's copybook, but I didn't expect that it backfired. I couldn't see him, and it was even more delusional to get closer. Zhang Jing was remembered as a negative example.

It is conceivable that Zhang Shensen, who has become a negative example, will never get any good results from Zhang Jing.

As long as Zhang Jing is here, Counselor Zhang will not think about promotion or anything! You even have to worry about whether you can wear your black gauze hat!

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for Counselor Zhang. (End of chapter)
