The Japanese pirates rampant on the southeast coast was tolerated by the court. After all, since the reign of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates began to cause trouble.

However, Yanzhou Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture and other inland states were successively disturbed. The Japanese pirates actually headed north and disappeared. They suddenly crossed the Yangtze River and appeared in Taiping Prefecture. This news shocked the entire Nanzhili.

After all, once Taiping Prefecture cannot stop it, the Japanese pirates who have traveled thousands of miles will appear outside Nanjing.

Dangtu is the seat of the Taiping Prefecture. The civil servants such as the prefect and the county magistrate were all trembling. Only the middle-aged officials sitting in the main seat were calm and gave orders.

In the courtyard of the government office, Xu Wei and Qian Zheng whispered in the corner.

"It's still a good thing for me. Wuhu mobilized heavy troops from all over the country, but the Japanese pirates bypassed Wuhu and quietly crossed the Yangtze River." Qian Zheng sighed, "It seems that the Japanese pirates have prepared for a long time."

This view is no longer new. Xu Wei looked at the lobby with concern, "What is the origin of this Admiral Cao Jiang?"

"History of Baoshan, whose courtesy name is Wenzhi, was from Kaizhou, and was a Jinshi in the 11th year of Jiajing." Qian Zheng whispered: "He served as the Liaodong Inspector, the Jiangxi Inspector, and the Right Administrator of Henan. In September last year, he was appointed as the right assistant censor of the Nanjing Censorate, to guard against Japanese riots."

"Deputy Censor of Jiangxi?" Xu Wei was very familiar with these things and asked: "Is it a patrol army preparation or a governance and academic administration?"

The deputy inspector has many responsibilities, some are responsible for coastal defense, some are responsible for patrol and preparation, some are responsible for governing academic affairs and promoting academic affairs, and some are responsible for criminal names.

"Governance and Management."

Xu Wei sneered, "This is a nerd who has never been to the battlefield. Look, see what a good ending he has!"

Seeing that Qian Zheng had not reacted yet, Xu Wei thought about it and explained it carefully.

As early as Jingde, Xu Wei wrote a letter to the Zhejiang Governor's Office. Hu Zongxian immediately sent someone to notify Nanjing, but Nanjing nominally hoarded heavy troops, but the actual military preparations were lax and had no combat power.

After arriving at Taiping Prefecture, Xu Wei and Hu Zongxian contacted. Although the number of Japanese pirates was not large, they caused too much trouble. Hu Zongxian had already urgently ordered Yingtian Governor Cao Bangfu and the new deputy envoy of Su Song's military preparation, Wang Chonggu, to lead his troops to aid.

But at this moment, Cao Jiang's Admiral Shi Baoshan summoned civil and military officials to discuss the anti-Japanese war. There was no doubt that this guy wanted to seize the credit.

After all, the Japanese pirates now have only more than fifty people, and Shi Baoshan's soldiers are dozens of times more powerful than the enemy. He thinks that the victory is stable... But Xu Wei doesn't think so.

The reason why this Japanese pirates are difficult to eliminate is that they have strong combat power and high martial arts skills, and on the other hand, they are small, quick and easy to hide.

Once the Japanese pirates quietly bypass the army and suddenly appear under the city of Nanjing, Shi Baoshan will definitely be the first to be questioned.

Xu Wei and Qian Zheng quietly walked into the lobby and listened carefully at the door. Shi Baoshan was not that stupid. He almost released all the troops he could mobilize and would never allow the Japanese pirates to pass through Taiping Prefecture safely.

Xu Wei curled his lips. This method is a stupid method and is not much smarter. The key is whether the Japanese pirates can be wiped out after the troops are dispersed. If they suffer a defeat, the trouble will be great.

After the order was issued, everyone withdrew from the lobby. Shi Baoshan thought for a long time that if he could successfully wipe out the Japanese pirates, his qualifications would be enough, at least he could return to Kyoto.

"Dongweng." The master on the side smiled and said, "Congratulations to Dongweng, this Japanese pirate slipped away from the noses of the governor and the governor's office in Zhejiang, crossing the five palaces, and finally wiped out the entire army in Dongweng's hands."

"There are only more than a hundred people, nothing."

"Riding thousands of miles, killing soldiers and civilians more than five thousand. These are not ordinary Japanese pirates." The master suddenly lowered his voice and whispered: "I don't know if Dongweng heard about it..."

"What?"

"It is said that Qian Zhancai is with the Japanese pirates." The master said sneakily: "Otherwise, why would Qian Zheng, the magistrate of Huizhou, chase all the way..."

Shi Baoshan was silent for a moment and whispered: "Since Wangminying Ligang more than two years ago, Japanese pirates invaded Songjiang and Suzhou, Qian Zhancai has made many military achievements and has a wide connection. Now he has a great reputation in Jiangnan..."

"It is said that Hu Zhongcheng wanted to recruit him into the shogunate." The master, who was just a scholar, was obviously a little envious and jealous, "I guess he was buying horse bones with a daughter."

"Now, Hu Zhongcheng is full of famous scholars, and even Wen Hengshan has sorted out documents for him." Shi Baoshan shook his head, "It is said that Xu Wenchang has also entered the curtain?"

"That's true. Xu Qingteng is talented and has both literary and martial arts." The master who was also from Shaoxing praised it and said: "Today there is someone around him... Yang Wen has been asked about it. It is Qian Zhancai's guard leader."

"Oh?" Shi Baoshan opened the military newspaper and looked carefully. "On June 29, the Japanese pirates crossed the river and attacked Lijia Town, about fifty or sixty. The sound of birds in the capital was the true Japanese. His chief was wearing a red dress and riding a horse, and a man in blue dress accompanied him."

"It is said that Qian Zhan is regarded as the nemesis of the Japanese pirates, and his father and brother are still dead at the hands of the Japanese pirates. Unexpectedly..." The master pretended to sigh.

"Only Brother Xi and Qian Zhancai made a deal, and they were called brothers." Shi Baoshan shook his head and said, "He once said that Qian Zhancai was young but was very scheming, scheming, but had a passionate heart and unparalleled integrity."

After looking at his confidant, Shi Baoshan emphasized and said, "Whether it is Jiading, Chongde, Songjiang, Hangzhou..."

The master was speechless for a moment. In public opinion, Qian Yuan, who escorted his family to Hangzhou but returned to Songjiang alone, had high praise, not to mention that he took the risk of leaving the city and defeated the Japanese pirates in Linpingshan.

Shi Baoshan didn't continue to say anything, and he stroked his long beard in his heart. If he was not mistaken, the man in blue shirt should be Qian Zhancai.

From Huizhou Prefecture to Taiping Prefecture, it was nearly a thousand miles away, but the Japanese pirates did not kill him... Do you have to fatten him? You must know that there is still more than half a year for the Chinese New Year!

After throwing away the military newspaper, Shi Baoshan stopped thinking about these things and just gave an order, "After defeating the Japanese pirates, let the people below pay attention and don't hurt him."

"Yes." As soon as the master responded, a loud report came from outside.

The master drove out a few steps to get the military newspaper, "Sir, the governor of Yingtian, Cao Bangfu, and Wang Chonggu, deputy envoy of Su Song's military preparations, have led his troops to Nanjing."

"It's coming so fast." Shi Baoshan's face turned dark. He had never considered the possibility of defeat.

Although the Japanese pirates had crossed Yanzhou Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, and Ningguo Prefecture, and fought all the way to Taiping Prefecture, in his opinion, the biggest reason for the Japanese pirates to be rampant is that these three prefectures have not had any war for a hundred years, and the military preparations are lax, and even the soldiers in the township can't raise their swords or draw their bows.

But Taiping Prefecture is different. After the Japanese pirates besieged Yangzhou last year, the imperial court re-established the position of Admiral Caojiang. Shi Baoshan had thousands of war soldiers under his command, and he had just transferred 600 soldiers from Jiangning Town. They were all elite soldiers with sufficient soldiers and food. Commanding Zhu Xiang and Jiang Sheng were both generals and were famous for their martial arts skills in Nanjing.

Therefore, Shi Baoshan believes that Hu Zongxian’s shamelessness was to ask Wang Chonggu and Cao Bangfu to take the credit... So many Japanese pirates in the southeast coast are not enough for you, Hu Ruzhen to kill?

Could it be because of the big defeat in Beixinguan?

At this time, heavy footsteps came from outside.

"Sir, I just received the news that the Japanese pirates defeated Machang Town!"

Shi Baoshan slapped the table and shouted: "Okay!"
Chapter completed!
