Chapter 1473 Meeting of the Ministry of War
After Zhu Pingan left, Deputy Bai behind him showed an expression that suddenly remembered him, turned to Zhang Chufeng and said, "Master Zhang, You just asked Mr. Zhu to go to the Ministry of War to report the emergency military situation. I suddenly remembered that this morning Mr. Tai asked you to ask Hu Zongxian's patrol office to discuss matters related to the patrol next year. Hu Xunji is not returning He further said that the Ministry of War sent a letter to the Ministry of Revenue, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and other officials and some generals to discuss military matters this morning. I am afraid that he does not have time in the morning. Will he come to the Yamen another day to discuss the matter? At this time, they should be meeting at the Ministry of War to discuss military matters. Your Excellency, it will be over soon, isn't it?"
"Oh, how could I forget this?" Zhang Chufeng said as if he suddenly remembered after being reminded.
Forgot something.
You did it on purpose, right? Your memory is famously good in our yamen. You can clearly remember the little things about old rotten millet, not to mention that this happened this morning, and it hasn’t been over yet. How could you forget for a quarter of an hour? But what does it have to do with me? Just forget it if you say you have.
Deputy Bai glanced at Zhang Chufeng and smiled slightly, but did not expose Zhang Chufeng's lame lies.
Yes, Deputy Bai was right, Zhang Chufeng did it on purpose.
Just now he urged Zhu Ping'an to report to the Ministry of War quickly, just because he wanted Zhu Ping'an to report this urgent military information that would make the world laugh before the end of the meeting of the Ministry of War, so that all the officials in the assembly could hear it. Zhu Pingan's urgent military information was so that Zhu Pingan would be embarrassed in front of all the officials.
There are so many yamen. If Zhu Ping'an loses face today, it will spread throughout all the yamen in Yingtian tomorrow, and the official circles in Yingtian the day after tomorrow.
After Zhang Chufeng patted his thigh, he He smiled and continued, "But this is fine. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Governor, The patrol censor and the generals gathered to discuss military matters, which must be related to the Japanese pirates. Zihou's urgent military situation was also related to the Japanese pirates who landed in Yu. They could take advantage of the meeting to brainstorm and save Zihou a lot. Running away. This is the saying that it is better to rush early than to rush early. ”
Deputy Bai smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Although Zihou's inference is a bit unbelievable, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out. You should all study it further when you go down." Zhang Zhitai picked up the tea cup and said to Deputy Ambassador Bai and Zhang Chufeng.
"Haha, Zi Hou's inference is quite interesting. I'll find time to study it when I go down." Deputy Bai stood up and nodded with a smile, and then said goodbye to Zhang Zhengtai. Serving tea meant seeing off guests. He How could such an old man in officialdom not know this?
"Master Nie Tai, Master Bai, what else are you studying? Zi Hou's inference is too bizarre. How is it possible that less than a hundred Japanese pirates dare to attack Yingtian Giant City? This is simply A nonsense."< br>
Zhang Chufeng also followed Deputy Bai and stood up to say goodbye to Zhang Zhengtai. However, as he stood up to say goodbye, he shook his head disapprovingly. In his eyes, Zhu Pingan's inference was not researchable at all and was just a joke.
After leaving the door, Zhang Chufeng asked Vice Envoy Bai, "Master Bai, do you really want to study Zhu Ping'an's outrageous inference when you go down?"
"Yes, but I have to find time to study it. I'm so busy with official duties lately, I'm afraid it's hard to find time."
Deputy Ambassador Bai smiled slightly.
"Haha, then I will be like Mr. Bai and find time to study." Zhang Chufeng had an epiphany and laughed.
Zhu Ping'an left the Yamen of the Provost and Inspector General Office and rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of War without stopping. When he arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he got off his horse.
"Master Zhu, you are here." The officer on duty had received Zhu Pingan last time. He recognized Zhu Pingan at a glance and came forward to say hello.
"Oh, you are Zhang Yuan." Zhu Ping'an had almost a photographic memory and recognized the officer.
Zhang Yuan was surprised when he heard Zhu Ping'an call out his name, "Master Zhu, you still remember my nickname. It's such an honor."
" Haha, you brought me to see Zhang Shangshu last time. How could I not remember?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, and then said with a serious face, "Zhang Yuan, I have urgent military information to report to Zhang Shangshu today. Please come in and call." ”
"Master Zhu, you are serious. Please wait in the guest room for a moment, and I will go in to report." Zhang Yuan responded, paused, and then reminded Zhu Ping'an, "However, Master Shangshu will We are discussing military matters with several adults from the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Li, the governor of Zhejiang, Mr. Hu, the censor of the patrol, and some generals. I don’t know when Mr. Shangshu will receive you, Mr. Zhu. "< br>
"I saved it." Zhu Pingan nodded, "If you can help me, please go in and report."
Zhang Yuan responded and went in to report. Before leaving, he told other Yamen officials to take Zhu Pingan to the guest room to wait.
Zhu Ping'an followed another officer to the guest room to wait, and asked him on the way, "Just what Zhang Yuan said just now, who is Mr. Li, the governor of Zhejiang?"
"Go back to Mr. Zhu, Zhejiang Governor Li, whose name is Li Tianchong, came up yesterday "Previously, Governor Li was the deputy military envoy of Xuzhou. Not long ago, Master Li led his troops to defeat several groups of Japanese pirates in the Tongzhou and Rugao areas. With outstanding achievements, Master Li was promoted to governor of Zhejiang. He took office yesterday."
The guard explained.
Zhu Ping'an nodded. It turns out that Mr. Li Tianchong took office yesterday. He was training troops at the Taohua Festival, so it was normal for the news to lag behind.
Li Tian favors Mr. Li. Although Zhu Pingan has never met him, in modern times, he also knows the general deeds of this Mr. Li. This Mr. Li is a famous anti-Japanese general and a good official. Because of his meritorious service in the fight against the Japanese, he He was promoted all the way to the governor of Zhejiang. It's a pity that he could have shown his talents on the anti-Japanese stage, but his luck was bad. Historically, he and Zhang Jing were brothers, and they both fell to the same tragic end
We must try our best to change this history. , to avoid tragedy.
The more capable people and generals there are.
The sooner the Japanese plague can be eliminated, the sooner the people along the coast can live a stable and stable life.
When Zhang Yuan went in to report, the meeting was in progress. Zhang Jing was still a little unhappy, "Didn't I tell you that if there is nothing urgent, please don't disturb me?" Mr. Zhu Ping'an, the chief minister, has important military information to report, and I don't dare to delay it."
Zhang Yuan explained hurriedly.
"Oh, in that case, you did the right thing." Zhang Jing nodded, his expression improved, and he even encouraged Zhang Yuan, and then explained to him, "Since it is an emergency military situation, then you Please come quickly. Mr. Zhu knows the military. He will be able to attend the meeting after reporting the urgent military situation."
"Yes," Zhang Yuan said.
Soon, Zhu Ping'an, led by Zhang Yuan, arrived at the meeting place. After reporting, he entered the meeting hall. (End of this chapter)
