Chapter 1911: Befriend Zhu Ping'an
Angel and his entourage were still somewhat skeptical of the words of the confidants of the Prefect Shang.
After all, more than 40,000 Japanese pirates attacked the city, and only a few hundred of them were killed. This kind of thing is too exaggerated.
Isn’t it because people from below are exaggerating when they report victory to others? This has been the routine since ancient times.
I guess there is a lot of moisture in it.
Another day later, when Angel and the others arrived in Dezhou, Shandong Province, they encountered a large team of prisoners offering sacrifices, more than a thousand people in total, pulling more than a dozen carts covered with linoleum cloth, and Escorting more than 400 Japanese pirate prisoners whose hands and feet were bound with ropes.
More than half of those prisoners were obviously Japanese pirates, with half-bald Tsukiyo heads, ferocious faces, stern eyes, shabby clothes, and tattoos on their bodies.
There is also a prison car in the middle. In the prison car, a Japanese pirate with a broken leg is imprisoned. He has a sinister face and full of resentment, as if he has betrayed his relatives and left.
To be locked up in a prison car, he is obviously not an ordinary Japanese pirate. He must be a Japanese chieftain.
When the two angels saw this group of prisoners, they couldn't help but think of the Suzhou Prefecture reporting personnel they met yesterday.
Could it be that this team of prisoners were also from Suzhou Prefecture? !
If it is true, then the great victory of Suzhou in annihilating 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese is basically true? !
Oh my God.
Suzhou Prefecture really annihilated 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese pirates, and Zhu Ping'an still played a major role in turning the tide!
Master Zhu killed 290 Japanese, and the reward gave the big men in the capital a headache for more than ten days. Now Master Zhu has killed 30,000 or 40,000 Japanese. God knows, with such a great achievement, the big men in the capital will want to How long does the headache last?
Haha, it is getting more and more interesting after watching the excitement.
When we came, Eunuch Feng asked us to take care of Mr. Zhu. It can be seen that Eunuch Feng and Mr. Zhu have an unusual relationship. Eunuch Feng is now a famous person in the harem. The influence of the harem is growing.
The higher Mr. Zhu's official promotion is, the greater the benefits that Eunuch Feng will gain invisibly.
Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty has an iron law that does not allow the inner court father-in-law to make friends with foreign court ministers, but the iron law is an iron law and the reality is reality. In reality, which inner court father-in-law who is in power does not make friends with foreign court ministers and form alliances.
Besides, the iron law of the Ming Dynasty does not prohibit the normal interactions between the father-in-law of the inner court and the ministers of the outer court. As long as they are not so public, who can say anything. Our official business overlaps, and normal exchanges and exchanges are not normal. Is it done? If there is no contact, how can the official business be carried out? No one can criticize it.
Mr. Zhu was the number one scholar at a young age, was demoted to the south of the Yangtze River, and made great achievements many times. No wonder Eunuch Feng wants to befriend Mr. Zhu.
If this trend continues, Lord Zhu will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, which is just around the corner.
Although Mr. Zhu has made enemies of Mr. Yan Ge’s party, his future is limitless, and Mr. Zhu’s mentor, Mr. Xu Ge, has an increasingly good relationship with Mr. Yan Ge. If Mr. Xu Ge makes peace, It is not impossible to turn hostility into friendship!
In addition, Mr. Zhu has made great contributions. It will not be easy for the old Yan Ge faction to suppress Mr. Zhu.
The Za family should take advantage of this opportunity to make good friends with Mr. Zhu.
After some mental activity, the two eunuchs ordered the factory guards to inquire about the prisoner-offering team and find out if they were from Suzhou going to the capital to offer prisoners.
“Reporting to my father-in-law, they are indeed a team sent by the Suzhou Prefecture to the capital to present prisoners. They took more than 10,000 Japanese pirate heads and more than 400 Japanese prisoners. They also escorted a man named Chen Dong. Japanese chief."
The factory guard came back and reported.
"The Za family knows, thank you for your hard work." The two eunuchs nodded, and it turned out to be the Suzhou prisoner team.
There are more than 10,000 Japanese pirate heads alone. It seems that Suzhou's victory is true. Lord Zhu has indeed made great contributions again.
With these prisoners and heads, the big men in the capital could not deny the Suzhou victory even if they wanted to.
Master Zhu is about to be promoted again.
Well, we have to seize the opportunity and make friends with Mr. Zhu. The two eunuchs looked at each other and everything was clear.
"They have a huge momentum and a large number of people. I am afraid that the states and counties along the way will have concerns about receiving them. Eunuch Li, do you think this is good? We will write a handwritten letter with the seal of the factory guard to let the states and counties along the way. The county should make it as convenient as possible for them."
A eunuch suggested.
"Yes, if they arrive in the capital one day earlier, they can also make His Majesty happy. His happiness is the top priority for us slaves." Another eunuch agreed.
So, they quickly wrote a handwritten letter, added the seals they carried, and ordered the factory guard to send it to the leader of the Suzhou prisoner presentation team.
The leader was Liu Mu. After receiving the handwritten letter from the factory guard, he was flattered. This was an angel from the capital. When he just asked the question, the other party had already revealed his identity. With their The handwriting is smooth along the way. It is expected that no state or county will refuse to accept it, resulting in sleeping in the wild and difficulty in supplying supplies.
"Thank you, sir. I haven't asked you for your surname yet. I'm humble enough to thank you for your kindness in the future."
Liu Mu cupped his fists and asked.
"Haha, the Za family's surname is Zhang, and this one's surname is Li. We are on this trip under the decree of the Holy One to issue rewards for the Great Victory of the Sea Festival. Suzhou is one of our destinations. You have made great achievements in Suzhou again. Maybe we will have a chance to meet again. ”
A eunuch chuckled.
"Okay, you guys, hurry up and deliver the prisoners as quickly as possible." Another eunuch waved his hand, indicating that Liu Mu could set off.
"Thank you Eunuch Zhang, thank you Eunuch Li." Liu Mu once again cupped his fists to express his gratitude, and then led the prisoner offering team to continue setting off.
Sure enough, with the handwriting of two angels opening the way, Liu Mu and the others had an easy journey. There was no longer any state or county that could keep them out.
The next day in the afternoon, Mr. Wang, the left servant of the Ministry of official affairs, dressed up and went out with a generous gift. He was going to attend Yan Shifan's private wine party.
That day, he finalized the official reward and punishment document for the Great Victory of Jihai. After the Holy Emperor Yu Lan approved it, he received an invitation from Yan Mansion as soon as he returned home.
Shilang Wang opened it and saw that it was an invitation sent by Yan Shifan, inviting him to come and have a drink this afternoon.
After receiving the invitation, Wang Shilang was overjoyed. He understood that it must be today's official document on rewards and punishments for the Great Sea Victory, especially the rewards and punishments for Zhu Pingan.
Actually, Shilang Wang has been a member of the Yan Party for a long time. However, the Yan Party is full of talents. Wang Shilang has never gotten many opportunities. Now that I have the opportunity, I took it. You see, Yan Shifan came to treat me. Where's the wine?
Soon, Shilang Wang arrived at the restaurant designated by Yan Shifan. The restaurant was located on the second floor next to an intersection, which was a prime location. (End of this chapter)
