Chapter 1685: General inspection of the Zhejiang Army

After inspecting the three military camps, Zhang Jing led everyone all the way south. Everyone thought they were going to inspect Zhenwei Camp because Zhenwei Camp was close to the south wall, but the order What everyone was confused about was that Zhang Jing did not lead everyone to Zhenwei Camp, but led them straight to the city gate, left the city directly, and continued southward along the main road.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but become confused. They thought, Mr. Governor, we are going the wrong way. Zhenwei Camp is located southwest of the city wall. It is inside the city. How can we get out of the city? Just leave the city. , why continue to go south?

"Merlin, do you know where we are going? Is there a military camp outside the city?"

Zhao Wenhua couldn't help but become confused, rode his horse closer to Hu Zongxian, and asked him doubtfully road.

"Budang, the sun has arrived here. According to the distance and time, there are two places you can go to now, one is the navy camp in the east of the city, and the other is the Zhejiang army camp in the southeast. The governor will lead When we go out from the south gate, we should go to the Zhejiang Army Camp. . If you are going to the navy camp, it is closer to go out from the east gate, and it is further away from the south gate."

Hu Zongxian knew the location of each camp, and after listening to Zhao Wenhua's inquiry, he analyzed it quietly and deduced. Zhang Jing should be taking everyone to the Zhejiang Army camp.

"Oh, it turns out we are going to the Zhejiang Army Camp. The Zhejiang Army Camp looks a bit familiar..." Zhao Wenhua suddenly realized after listening to Hu Zongxian's analysis, and then felt that the Zhejiang Army Camp seemed familiar, so he read it again Finally, I suddenly remembered , "Oh, I remembered, that was the regiment training commanded by Zihou and Zhu Ping'an."

"As the ministry said, the Zhejiang Army camp was actually the regiment training army commanded by Zhu Ping'an and Zhu Ping'an."< br>
Hu Zongxian complimented.

"Meilin, do you know anything about the Zhejiang Army? Have you ever visited the Zhejiang Army?" Zhao Wenhua asked again.

“Back at the headquarters, the official’s understanding of the Zhejiang Army was only superficial and did not know the actual situation. More than a month ago, the official intended to inspect the Zhejiang Army. Just as he was about to go, the Japanese pirates broke out in Shangyu. , interrupted my trip some time ago. When inspecting the camps, Mr. Zhu went to Yiwu to recruit troops, and the commander was not there, so it was not convenient for him to inspect the Zhejiang Army. Therefore, this is the first time for Xianguan to inspect the Zhejiang Army. That’s my wish.” Hu Zongxian replied truthfully.

"How much do you know about the Zhejiang Army?" Zhao Wenhua asked again.

"Xiaoguan only knows that the Zhejiang Army originally had more than 800 people. Some time ago, Mr. Zhu obtained Governor Zhang's permission and went to Yiwu to recruit another 1,200 new soldiers. Currently, the Zhejiang Army has about 2,000 people. As for the Zhejiang army's training, combat strength, and weapons and equipment, I don't know." Hu Zongxian replied.

"It seems that the Zhejiang army has the smallest number in the military camp." Zhao Wenhua said with disappointment after hearing this.

It is true that Zhao Wenhua valued Zhu Pingan, but he did not pay attention to the Zhejiang Army led by Zhu Pingan.

The Zhejiang Army only has 2,000 people. It is not a regular army, it is just a regiment training. How can it be taken seriously by Zhao Wenhua, who is aiming for Jiangnan.

“Although the Zhejiang army is small, it cannot be underestimated. On that day, the Japanese pirates from Shangyu attacked Yingtian and marched across more than ten counties in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. They were invincible. Not afraid of the jokes of the army, the lower officials led elite soldiers. Sniping Japanese pirates in the cherry orchard, for a while They were attacked by Japanese pirates disguised as beggars and suffered a huge defeat. The Japanese pirates arrived at Yingtian City and were so arrogant that the whole city was shocked. At that time, the Zhejiang Army only had 800 people. Master Zhu led the Zhejiang Army to pioneer the Japanese pirates. Under the city, the siege of Yingtian was relieved, and then at night After killing all the Japanese pirates, the combat strength of the Zhejiang Army can be seen. Now, Mr. Zhu has recruited another thousand and two soldiers from Yiwu, and the strength of the Zhejiang Army has reached 2,000. This trip to the Zhejiang Army must have greatly increased it. The biggest surprise.”

Hu Seeing Zhao Wenhua's disappointed expression, Zong Xian couldn't help but smile. He told Zhao Wenhua about Zhu Pingan's outstanding performance in the Yingtian Japanese pirates. He praised Zhu Pingan in his words and joked that he was defeated by the Japanese pirates. Embarrassing things to set off Zhu Ping'an.

“Oh, many people said that Zihou used Miaoman drug to overwhelm the Japanese pirates, and took the opportunity to cut off the sleeping Japanese pirates’ heads. He defeated them without using force. Anyone can do it, but Zihou If you are lucky enough to get the upper hand, is it difficult to prove that the Zhejiang army can fight?" Zhao Wenhua squinted his eyes and asked again.

Hu Zongxian shook his head and further explained: "That is the jealousy of mediocre people. If anyone can do it, why do they make the Japanese pirates in Shangyu invincible in dozens of counties across several provinces? When the Japanese pirates came to the city, no one except General Yu Dayou dared to do it. The one who wants to fight . Zihou first chased the Japanese pirates under the city, but the 800 Zhejiang troops were in formation. The Japanese pirates had no chance to take advantage of them, so they had to retreat first. Then they attacked the Japanese pirates at night, which required courage and planning. "

Zhao Wenhua. Hearing this, he nodded noncommittally.

"Bu Tang, even though Mr. Zhu is not very old, but among the civil servants and soldiers in Jiangnan, except for Tan Lun, the magistrate of Taizhou, and Tang Shunzhi who was dismissed from office, he is definitely Mr. Zhu Ping'an. We will suppress the Japanese in the future. , I believe Master Zhu will be able to shine again, Another good chapter in the record book. If Zihou can be won over, Zihou can help me and Zuobu Tang to defeat the Japanese. "

Hu Zongxian strongly recommended Zhu Ping'an to Zhao Wenhua. It is recommended that Zhao Wenhua win over Zhu Pingan.

“Oh, I didn’t expect that Mei Lin would think so highly of Zi Hou.” Zhao Wenhua said with some surprise.

"Zihou has the talent of the number one scholar in his writings, and his military strategy is also impressive. It's just a matter of time before he breaks out of the bag." Hu Zongxian replied, and then suggested again, "Zihou has not yet shown his talents. It’s better to plan for it as early as possible. If you wait until your son is thick enough to shine, it will be difficult. . ”

“Don’t worry, Mei Lin. I knew it well when Zi Hou was not selected. I have been looking at him for a long time, and I know that he is a rare talent.” Zhao Wenhua nodded with a smile. He nodded and told the secret of recruiting Zhu Pingan that day. Hu Zongxian, "When I first came here, I wanted to recruit Zihou, but Zihou was reserved and arrogant. He didn't agree, but it didn't count as rejection. He said he would try his best to assist me in two important imperial missions. Haha, although he is talented, he is He has short experience and is not deeply involved in the world. He is not as knowledgeable as Mei Lin. To deal with the overall situation, he needs to be trained. However, he is in Jiangnan, and I am also in Jiangnan. I have plenty of time to train him. I don’t expect him to escape from the palm of my hand. "

"The department has the ability to recognize people. , Xian is not as good as him." Hu Zongxian complimented him upon hearing this.

"Haha, let's see what kind of surprise Zihou can bring us in the Zhejiang Army Camp."

Zhao Wenhua smiled with interest and rode up to follow Zhang Sutra line.

"Drive!"

Hu Zongxian also rode to follow.

Zhang Jing led everyone all the way south. It didn't take long for Wei Guogong to realize that he had been on this road several times. Governor Zhang was going to inspect the Zhejiang Army. (End of this chapter)
