"There are only more than thirty Japanese pirates. If I were Mr. Xiao Zhu, I would leave half of the troops to destroy the Japanese pirates, and I would personally lead half of the troops to continue on the road. If I rush on the road and suppress the Japanese pirates at the same time, wouldn't I get the best of both worlds?"
Master Tu was still a little reluctant and spoke to Zhu Pingan in a preaching tone.
"Master Tu is here to teach you." Zhu Pingan didn't want to explain to him anymore, so he replied lightly.
"Okay, Zihou is not late. He has wiped out thirty-six Japanese pirates. He has meritorious service. If he is late, he will not mention it." Zhang Jing waved his hand as he sat down.
Then, Zhang Jing stretched out his hand to introduce Master Tu to Zhu Pingan, "Zihou, you came late, I will introduce it to you alone. This is Master Tu of Tu Dashan. He just left Sichuan a few days ago. The Governor of Lake was transferred to the position of Zuo Shilang of Yingtian Military Department, Governor of Yingtian, and Admiral of Military Affairs. Master Tu was well versed in military affairs. When he was the Governor of Chuanhu, he assisted Zhang Yueping, the former Governor of Chuanhu. Determined the large-scale rebellion launched by the Miao Man dragons Xu Bao and Wu Heimiao, took over as the governor of Chuanhu after Governor Zhang died of illness, trapped and killed the remaining members of the Long family, Long Azai, and others, wiped out their clan, and extinguished the resurgence of the Miao Man rebellion. . One of you is the governor of Yingtian and the other is the governor of Zhejiang. From now on, you must work together to help me wipe out the Japanese pirates as soon as possible. "
"It turns out to be Mr. Tu. I have heard Mr. Tu's name for a long time and it is like thunder in my ears." Zhu Ping'an politely bowed his hands to Mr. Tu.
Why have you heard of this famous name for a long time? At least Zhu Pingan had no impression of him in modern times, which shows that he is not famous enough.
Zhu Pingan also arrived in the Ming Dynasty. After being demoted to Jingnan, when he got to know the surrounding officials, he learned that the Chuanhu area had a governor to quell the Miao rebellion. Governor Zhang Yue quelled the Miao rebellion and passed away due to illness. Later, Master Tu, the governor of Chuanhu, succeeded him as governor.
I have only seen one piece of news from the Di newspaper about how he spent a lot of money to trap and kill the remaining members of the Long clan, Long Azai and others, and to wipe out his clan.
However, the former Governor of Chuanhu Lake is also a big shot.
Although his jurisdiction was not as good as Zhang Jing's, he was once a governor after all, and he was nominally on the same level as Zhang Jing. No wonder he had such an arrogant attitude.
“I have heard about Mr. Xiao Zhu for a long time, but when I saw him today, I was a little disappointed.” Tu Dashan’s attitude was a little cold.
The atmosphere suddenly became dry.
"Then Ping An can only continue to work hard." Zhu Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, not understanding why Tu Dashan repeatedly targeted him.
“Okay, let’s get back to the business. We have called you here today to unify the strategy for the war against Japan.”
Zhang Jing presided over and brought the topic back to normal.
“Everyone, I don’t need to say too much about the current situation of Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past few days, the Tuolin Xuhai Japanese pirates have been wreaking havoc in southern Zhili and northern Zhejiang, and the Wangzhi Japanese pirates have also repeatedly invaded. In addition to these two groups of Japanese pirates in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, there are countless large and small Japanese pirates who frequently attack our southeastern coast. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes, and the people suffered repeatedly. The water was in dire straits, but our officers and soldiers in various places frequently failed in their battles against the Japanese. I would like to ask everyone here, why did our officers and soldiers frequently fail in their battles against the Japanese? "
Zhang Jing looked around at everyone with a serious face and asked slowly.
Everyone was silent for a while.
"Mencius said: The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony between the people. Our officers and soldiers frequently failed in the war against the Japanese. Is it because the weather is not in the army, or is the right place not in the army, or is the people and people not in the army? ! Otherwise, why have we repeatedly failed in the war against the Japanese?" Zhang Jing glanced at everyone one by one and asked again.
Yes, why do the officers and soldiers frequently lose? !
Japanese pirates came across the ocean, fought in different places, killed people and set fires in the Ming Dynasty. Why did they still defeat the Ming army frequently?
Is Tianshi not in the army?
Just kidding! How could Tianshi not be on the side of the army? Could the Japanese pirates be more adaptable to Tianshi than the army? !
Isn’t it because the geographical location is not on the side of the army?
No, the officers and soldiers were fighting in their own country, but the Japanese pirates were fighting in a different place, so how could they be in a better position than the officers and soldiers?
Isn't that Renhe's side with the army? !
That’s even more impossible! The Japanese pirates came to the Ming Dynasty to burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil. They were an unjust party. The government and army attacked the Japanese pirates and were a just party. How could there be no one to harm them?
But why do the officers and soldiers frequently lose in battles against the Japanese when the time is favorable, the people are in the right place, and the people are there?
This makes no sense at all. Is Mencius wrong? ! Or was grandson wrong? !
"My Lord Governor, there are not only real Japanese pirates, but also fake Japanese traitors from the Ming Dynasty. There are quite a few fake Japanese pirates. In some Japanese pirate gangs, fake Japanese pirates account for more than 40%, and some Japanese pirate gangs even account for 60%. Above. Of course, Japanese pirates have big rules Except when Mo invades, the number of real Japanese will be the majority. They are all real Japanese who collude with fake Japanese. With these fake Japanese, Japanese pirates can also occupy the right time, place and people. "A military commander stood up. , responded to Zhang Jing’s inquiry.
This general is in his forties, has a very tall and majestic figure, and has a beard. He looks like a fierce general.
The relationship between this general and Governor Tu Dashan should be unusual. He sat behind Tu Dashan. Zhu Ping'an noticed that Tu Dashan was whispering to him. The general respected Tu Dashan very respectfully.
Perhaps they were the confidant generals Tu Dashan brought from his appointment as governor of Chuanhu.
"Well, General Li Fengshi is right. At least you have seen the surface." Zhang Jing nodded lightly and said lightly.
General Li Fengshi? Having never heard of it, Zhu Pingan searched his mind and determined that he had never heard of Li Fengshi in modern times.
“On the surface?” Li Fengshi was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, it's just on the surface. You only see that there are many fake Japanese pirates who work for the Japanese pirates. You don't see that some Jiangnan gentry who are profit-oriented and unintentional raise Japanese self-respect, and you don't see that some short-sighted Jiangnan people do it for the Japanese pirates. You are just trying to make a profit, forget your ancestors, and support the Japanese pirates!" Zhang Jing said with a serious and indignant look.
"What? The Jiangnan gentry raises Japanese people to respect themselves?" Li Fengshi was even more stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but raised his head and looked at Zhang Jing.
Everyone present also raised their heads and looked at Zhang Jing.
"Yes, these scum among the Jiangnan gentry are the most important reason why the Jiangnan army has repeatedly failed to suppress the Japanese."
Zhang Jing nodded vigorously and said with a serious face.
"Did the Japanese plague endanger all the people? No, the Japanese invasion in Jiangnan seemed to endanger all the people, but this was not the case. After the shipping companies in Zhejiang and Fujian were closed down, the imperial court strictly ordered that no sails be allowed to go to sea. have In order to continue to engage in overseas trade and sell their goods overseas, these scumbag gentry in the south of the Yangtze River supported the Japanese pirates to establish themselves in the south of the Yangtze River and made money through the Japanese pirates exporting goods!" Zhang Jing further explained. (End of this chapter)
