"Is this the reason why you wander around the land of fireworks, looking for flowers and willows?" Zhao Wenhua joked with a smile.
"Ahem, I'm wronged, my lord, I was understanding the sentiments of the people." Hu Zongxian coughed and replied sophistry without blushing.
"Haha, you are really responsible for understanding the people's sentiments. You have noticed that the people are under the covers." Zhao Wenhua pointed at Hu Zongxian and laughed.
"I am not listening to the adults. As an official and a human being, you must be responsible for your actions. If you are responsible, you must be responsible to the end." Hu Zongxian touched his chin with shamelessness.
"Merlin, you, you are really eloquent, but with those two moves of yours, can you go to the end..." Zhao Wenhua scolded with a smile.
Zhu Pingan drank tea and watched them flirting. He knew in his heart that the two of them could joke like this. It seemed that Hu Zongxian had deeply trusted Zhao Wenhua. The relationship between the two was so good that they almost wore a pair of trousers. Hu Zongxian was indeed Hu Zongxian.
"Okay, I won't be poor with you. We come to Zihou for business." Zhao Wenhua smiled and waved his hand.
"It's my fault." Hu Zongxian admitted.
“Zi Hou, the second joy we are here this time is to congratulate Zi Hou for his new achievements. Zi Hou quietly attacked in three places in northern Zhejiang, ambushed the Japanese pirates, and once again achieved great success. It’s so gratifying to win.”
Zhao Wenhua stepped forward with a smile and patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder, congratulating Zhu Pingan on his victory in the ambush in northern Zhejiang.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu planned the strategy well. The ambush attack in northern Zhejiang was amazing. This victory greatly inspired the morale of the army and the people. It is a great joy for Jiangnan." Hu Zongxian also congratulated.
Sure enough, Zhao Wenhua and the others came this time to ambush the Japanese pirates in northern Zhejiang and achieve great success. Zhu Pingan was not surprised by this.
The picture shows the poor dagger.
When Zhao Wenhua came this time, the congratulations were fake, and the fear of taking credit was real. There was no doubt that Zhao Wenhua could do such a thing.
"Thank you Master Zhao, thank you Master Hu. They are all soldiers who sacrifice their lives. I just happened to meet you at the right time." Zhu Pingan replied modestly.
"Zihou is being modest. As the saying goes: A thousand armies are easy to gain, but a general is hard to find. Without Zihou's strategizing and commanding, how could such a great victory be possible." Zhao Wenhua laughed and praised Zhu Pingan, praising Zhu Pingan as a great leader. flower.
"Yes, an army cannot move without a general, and a snake cannot move without a head. Without a strong son, there will be no Zhejiang army, let alone such a victory."
Hu Zongxian also followed suit.
"Master Zhao, Master Hu, thank you very much." Zhu Ping'an was humble again.
“Don’t be humble, Zihou, you can afford it. I still remember the first time I came to Jiangnan to worship the sea governor. During the sea sacrifice ceremony, more than a thousand Japanese pirates tried to attack the sea ceremony and attacked the camp late at night. It was Zihou Police Department , spy on the Japanese pirates, and try to save them Kuang Lan, we worked together, fought side by side, and finally killed more than a thousand Japanese pirates and won the victory in Jihai. Zihou, your civility and military strategy are obvious to all, and I know it in my heart."
< br>
Zhao Wenhua recalled the past, mentioned the great victory of Jihai, and praised Zhu Ping'an for his extraordinary literary, Taoist, and military strategies.
At the end, Zhao Wenhua sighed again, "The days of fighting side by side with Zihou are really nostalgic."
"Haha, sir, there is no need to miss the past. My lord is in Jiangnan, Zhu Your Excellency is also in Jiangnan, The Japanese pirates who disrupted China are also in the south of the Yangtze River. If you want to fight the Japanese pirates side by side with Mr. Zhu, why worry about not having a chance? "
Hu Zongxian said, looking at Zhu Pingan with a smile, and gave it to Zhao Wenhua? Sent a first-level assist.
Zhao Wenhua also looked at Zhu Pingan.
Uh.
Zhu Ping'an was slightly startled. At first he thought Zhao Wenhua was here to steal the credit, but he was wrong. They had some sense of moral integrity. They didn't directly steal the credit, but wanted to pull him away. Climb into their chariot and accomplish another feat.
Don’t they think that they have accomplished meritorious service by ambush the Japanese pirates, and think that defeating the Japanese pirates is easy and they can win in one blow? !
Let’s not talk about whether we can win against the Japanese pirates. It’s impossible just to fight against the Japanese pirates with you.
Zhang Jing is the governor of Jiangnan. Zhang Jing has the final say on the overall situation of Jiangnan against the Japanese. Moreover, Zhang Jing’s attitude towards Zhao Wenhua is obvious to all, including the deployment of war against the Japanese, the deployment of troops and generals, etc. These military matters Information is Zhao Wenhua was blocked. If he, Zhao Wenhua, and Hu Zongxian fought against the Japanese, Zhang Jing would definitely want to block military information from himself, just like Zhao Wenhua, and exclude himself from the Japanese war situation.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
However, if you directly reject Zhao Wenhua, it is still the same sentence. It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Zhao Wenhua is a villain who holds a grudge. After Zhang Jiang steps down, Zhao Wenhua will influence the political situation in Jiangnan for a long time. , offended Zhao Wenhua, after he comes to power, how can he retaliate even if he wears small shoes? !
Moreover, Zhao Wenhua was a master at suing. Zhang Jing, Li Tianchong and the two unlucky guys who later took over as governors were all sued by him. Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong even paid the price with their lives.
If Zhao Wenhua went to Emperor Jiajing every now and then to sue him, he might be fine once or twice, but over time, he would be in danger.
Zhu Ping'an was just stunned for a moment, and then replied with a wry smile, "Of course I think about it too, not only Master Zhao and Master Hu, I am willing to fight side by side with anyone to exterminate the Japanese pirates, and report to the Holy One and Xia'an People, but."
"To be honest with Master Zhao and Mr. Hu, the price of our army's victory in this ambush of Japanese pirates in northern Zhejiang was that our army's firearms were damaged by 30% and the gunpowder was almost exhausted. The lost firearms and the consumed gunpowder could not be replaced in a short period of time. , I am Zhejiang The army is heavy on firearms. If the firearms cannot be replaced, the three powers will be wasted, and gunpowder is even more deadly. Without gunpowder, the firearms in the hands of our Zhejiang army will become fire sticks."
"No more. Firearms, our Zhejiang Army has become useless A tiger with teeth that fights Japanese pirates is tantamount to seeking death. "
"So, even if I want to fight side by side with Master Zhao and Mr. Hu, and then attack Japanese pirates and achieve new achievements, it is hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Can't do it "
Zhu Pingan spread his hands with a wry smile, citing the shortage of firearms and gunpowder faced by the Zhejiang Army as a shield, and agreed and then rejected Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian's invitation to fight side by side.
I am very willing to do business with you side by side, but due to objective reality, I cannot do it without firearms and gunpowder.
"What? Has the Zhejiang Army's gunpowder been exhausted?" Zhao Wenhua frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Pingan suspiciously.
"Students, how dare you deceive Master Zhao? Master Zhao and Mr. Hu came. The reason why I couldn't welcome them from far away was because of the problem of firearms and gunpowder. I couldn't worry about it. I went to the Zhejiang Army camp to check on the spot and study and solve the problem. "Unfortunately, both firearms and gunpowder are time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, and cannot be completed overnight."
Zhu Pingan replied frankly.
"Why consume so much gunpowder?" Zhao Wenhua asked.
"Master Zhao and Mr. Hu know that our Zhejiang Army attaches great importance to firearms, and one of the reasons for this emphasis on firearms is that the Japanese pirates are extremely powerful in combat, and in close combat, our Zhejiang Army is afraid that it will not be the opponent of the Japanese pirates, and Firearms can shoot and injure Japanese pirates without engaging them in close combat. ”
"In addition, I have recruited tens of thousands of Zhejiang troops, and they have been trained for less than half a month. If I bring them into a close encounter with the Japanese pirates, they will undoubtedly be seeking death. I can only use firearms to ambush the Japanese pirates, so the gunpowder consumption is huge." Zhu Pingan explained. (End of this chapter)
