Zheng Ruozeng lifted up the hem of his long gown and walked across the threshold. He stopped by the patio for a moment. A large area of ​​sunlight shone into the main hall from the upwind. The interesting bonsai on both sides attracted his attention.

But soon, Zheng Ruozeng came to his senses, walked around the courtyard from the side, and shook his head at everyone who looked over.

He Xinyin looked up at the dazzling sunshine, and estimated in his heart that it had been three o'clock, and that person was still sleeping... This was the serious sun shining on his butt!

"I've been on the road for two consecutive days, and I've been struggling again last night, and I've been so cruel." Shen Mingchen smoothed out and said, "Young people are sleepy."

Hu Zongxian did not comment. Mao Kun, who was just seeing the military information, said without raising his head: "There was a letter from the same year in Beijing, mentioning Zhan Cai. The Hanlin Academy had never seen such a person... He was late almost every day and was scolded many times for this."

Shen Mingchen raised his eyebrows, "Zhan Cai was scolded? He is not a good temper."

"Of course." Mao Kun looked up unhappy and said, "As a Hanlin bachelor, Yuan Maozhong has been killed by Zhancai several times... You also know Zhancai's mouth."

Yuan Maozhong is Yuan Wei. He was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing and was in the same year as Mao Kun. He was from Cixi, Ningbo. He was very disliked by Qian Yuan. Now he is having fun with Xu Wei in Xiyuan.

"It's not necessarily true." Hu Zongxian, who bent over and looked at the map, stood up straight, took the teacup and took a sip, and said casually: "Maybe it's too late to study at night."

The other three people curled their lips at the same time. Who doesn’t know that Qian Yuanzhi’s talent is not about writing. Reading? Which book does he read?

Only Zheng Ruozeng's face was a little strange, his cheeks moved, he coughed twice and cleared his throat before saying, "I saw a book on the table, and the top one was "The West Chamber"."

After a moment of quiet in the main hall, Shen Mingchen smiled dryly and said, "A beautiful lady, a gentleman is a good friend..."

If Qian Yuan knew this, he would be speechless. Then the ten books were secret notes agreed with Tan Wei, and they would not use "The West Chamber", "The Loyalty and Water Margin" and so on. Do you still need "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean"? Even "The Art of War" would not work.

Qian Yuan slept until noon before getting up while rubbing his sleepy eyes, covering his eyes and looking at the sun above his head, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, he didn't arrange a human alarm clock last night... It was a mistake!

On weekdays, Keqing and Xiangling are responsible for calling (Bed)... Xiaoqi is not good at this.

He simply had a meal with Yang Wen. Qian Yuan went out and was thinking about his worries along the way. He didn't know how Ninghai was doing... Speaking of which, Qi Jiguang was already quite famous in the southeast, but his previous battles were small, with only more than a thousand people under his command. Now he has more than three thousand tigers and wolves under his command. I don't know if this battle can make his reputation.

Qian Yuan was thinking about it when a sudden rush of horse hooves sounded. He turned his head and saw a cavalry sailing straight into the camp gate with a command arrow and heading straight for this side.

Qian Yuan rushed into the door in two steps, walked around the courtyard and stood behind Hu Zongxian. The soldiers opposite the courtyard were reporting loudly.

"The Japanese pirates attacked Suzhou?" Zheng Ruo once asked, "How many people are there?"

The soldier replied without hesitation: "At the beginning, hundreds, but after breaking through Chongming County, there were more than a thousand young and strong people."

After waiting for the soldier to go out, Zheng Ruozeng glanced at Qian Yuan who was frowning and whispered: "There is another group of 600 Japanese pirates attacking Tongzhou before."

Qian Yuan was stunned and asked, "Where is Songjiang Mansion?"

"No Japanese pirates attacked Songjiang." He Xinyin showed contempt. For ordinary people, caring about their hometown is a good idea, but strange people like He Xinyin cannot be regarded as common sense.

"A little weird." Qian Yuan looked down at the map, "Why not attack Songjiang Mansion?"

Hu Zongxian turned his head and whispered: "Zhancai?"

Qian Yuan sorted out his thoughts and pointed to the map and said: "In terms of terrain, Songjiang Prefecture is the most difficult to defend against. It is surrounded by the sea on both sides. There are too many places where Japanese pirates can land on the shore, and the terrain of Songjiang Prefecture is flat...

Attack Tongzhou... and landed from Liujiawan, where there were five hundred soldiers of Taicang Guard stationed and attacked Chongming Island in Suzhou... The sea ships sailed directly into the Yangtze River to land.

In any case, it is unreasonable that Japanese pirates can make it easy to make it difficult. What is Xu Hai's idea..."

Speaking of this, Qian Yuan paused suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the Japanese pirates let Songjiang go... Could it be that his father did the trick?

Similar incidents occurred twice more than two years ago. Although the Jinshan Guard was destroyed, Xu Hai never led the Japanese pirates to plunder Songjiang Prefecture, but instead plundered Jiaxing, Suzhou, and Changzhou.

Mao Kun raised the letter in his hand, "It's not just Tongzhou, Suzhou. Last night, a small number of Japanese pirates attacked Jiaxing Prefecture, and this morning, a small number of Japanese pirates invaded Hangzhou Prefecture and attacked Chang'an Town."

"What exactly does Xu Hai want to do?" He Xinyin gritted his teeth and said in confusion: "Invading everywhere is equivalent to telling us that he is right behind."

"Mr. Fushan means..." Hu Zongxian said in a deep voice: "Xu Hai should stop his flag and suddenly launch a large-scale invasion."

"First, Xu Hai's move is intended to disperse the forces of the officers." Qian Yuan raised his index finger, "Now that the Japanese pirates are attacking Ningbo and Shaoxing, does Brother Ruzhen dare to transfer troops from Taizhou and Hangzhou? Aren't you afraid that Xu Hai will transfer the tiger away from the mountain?"

"No," Zheng Ruozeng nodded and said, "If Xu Hai stopped the flag and launched a large-scale invasion, as long as he could capture the movements of the Japanese pirates, he could calmly mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them, but now he does not dare to move."

Xu Hai's move seems a bit stupid, but in fact it is very clever, which makes Hu Zongxian dare not mobilize troops casually. No one knows which one he chooses as his target.

Qian Yuan raised his middle finger, "Second, Xu Hai can't control those small Japanese pirates. In fact, over the past year, small Japanese pirates have never stopped attacking the coastal areas."

"After random speculation, it is likely that Xu Hai used himself as his backing to drive a small group of Japanese pirates to invade various places and divide the territory..."

Mao Kun hesitated and nodded in agreement, "But where is it..."

Hu Zongxian threw down his pen, "Since Wang Zhi and Xu Hai started a war, there have been major wars in two places, one is Shaoxing and the other is Jiaxing."

Everyone nodded. At the end of last year, the Japanese pirates attacked Shaoxing and almost captured Shanyin. Later, Hu Zongxian personally led his troops to aid and defeated the Japanese pirates. This was the great victory in Shaoxing. At the beginning of this year, the Japanese pirates attacked Jiaxing, and the governor of Zhejiang Ruan E fought fearfully, so that the general Zong Li died in a fierce battle.

These two places are the most likely, but where are they?

The main hall was quiet, and a moment later there was another news outside. A sweaty soldier knelt on one knee opposite the courtyard and reported loudly: "Two hundred Japanese pirates landed from Sanshan, and the front was over 2,000, and the official army retreated to Yuyao."

"Two hundred and two thousand?" Hu Zongxian's face turned dark, "By one against a hundred!"

Over the past year, while Hu Zongxian has vigorously trained the new army, he has not forgotten the guest soldiers. With the support of enough money, grain and weapons, some of the guest soldiers are also quite powerful.

Before the new army was formed, the war situation in the southeast was actually mainly supported by the visiting troops. In addition to the Tian Zhou army, Hu Zongxian eliminated the weak and strong in more than a year and trained a certainly capable official army. He performed outstandingly in the Shaoxing victory at the end of last year.

Zheng Ruozeng took a step forward and was about to ask questions. Qian Yuan, who was marking the map with his head down, raised his head and asked loudly: "Is it the real Japanese?"

"The birds are singing real Japanese, without armor, and long swords are rushing to the formation."

This kind of life that is not afraid of death... is really a sensational Japanese dare to do it.

Zheng Ruozeng asked a few more questions before letting the soldiers go out, and turned around and said, "Dongweng, Xu Hai invaded Jiaxing several times two years ago, and they all took the real Japanese as the pioneer. Yu Dayou..."

Before he finished speaking, but everyone knows this. In the 33rd year of Jiajing, Xu Hai set up an ambush in Pinghu and used dozens of real Japanese as vanguards as vanguards to break the formation in one fell swoop. It was from that time that it became a consensus that the military forces of the coastal guards were unbearable, which directly prompted the establishment of the position of the Governor General of Zhejiang.

Hu Zongxian looked solemn and turned around and asked, "Where is Liu Xian now?"

"Western of Yuyao County and east of Lianghu, forty miles away from Yuyao." Mao Kun hesitated for a while, "How about rushing to help Yuyao? If two hundred real Japanese attacked the city, I'm afraid they can't stop it."

Seeing Hu Zongxian's sight, Qian Yuan shook his head helplessly. No news had come yet. Zhang San and ten guards should be waiting in Sanmen Town.
