Chapter five hundred and seventy second worry
As early as last year when Qian Yuan returned to Beijing, he mentioned it in vain that even if Hu Zongxian successfully suppressed Xu Hai and recruited Wang Zhi, the remaining Japanese pirates would likely flee to Fujian to continue their rebellion.
But Emperor Jiajing, who was eager to win, did not listen. As Qian Yuan predicted, Fujian was now messed up by Japanese pirates.
The pirates led by Ye Zongman and Wang Qingxi are now growing their strength. After seeing the government conducting trade in Houtaoshan, Zhenhai, they invaded Fujian Province several times within half a year... In terms of going to Nanyang, Fujian is more convenient than Zhejiang.
What's so bad is that Ye Zongman recruited a lot of real Japanese. After Xu Hai's death, these roninmen holding samurai swords were in decline. Wang Zhi, who was determined to be a serious maritime businessman, did not need too much force. He only needed to ensure the safety of ship shipping.
What's even more terrible is that the Fujian soldiers have never been able to fight, but internal strife is in good condition. Yang Yi, the second governor of Zhejiang, was unlucky because of the private fight between Fujian visitors and Shandong visitors, but a Shandong gang general was stabbed to death in the street.
In just a few months, Fuzhou Prefecture, Funing Prefecture, Xinghua Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture and Zhangzhou Prefecture along the coast of Fujian were all robbed by Japanese pirates, and even Yanping Prefecture and Jianning Prefecture in the inland areas could not escape the misfortune.
There were only two or three hundred Japanese pirates who fled into Fujian by Qi Jiguang, but they killed a lot in Funing Prefecture, defeating the official army in succession, and even attacking Jianning Prefecture in the west, which was a tragic situation... The number of Japanese pirates in the Fujian Commander's newspaper was no less than three thousand.
The data on the war loss that has been reported to Beijing is that there are two generals who died in battle, four guerrillas, and a total of several soldiers, with three thousand soldiers... But everyone knows that this kind of data is full of moisture.
Just two days ago, the Ministry of War wrote a letter to the chief clerk, proposing to establish a new Fujian governor to fully suppress the Japanese.
When he thought of Zhejiang, although Su Song became quiet, the war between the Japanese riots in the southeast reached Fujian, which might involve Guangdong in the future. Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but frowned tightly, which was what he didn't want to see the least.
Regardless of the others, it seems that it is imperative to establish a Fujian governor. Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes and glanced unconsciously, and suddenly spoke: "A long-term literary official, a Southeast civil and military official, no matter his official position, he only judges his talents, how do you comment?"
Xu Wei hesitated and said, "Your Majesty should consult the cabinet for such a big event."
"explain."
"Yes." Xu Wei quickly took a look in his mind before speaking: "In terms of civil officials, the first is the governor of Zhejiang, the second is the governor of Zhejiang, Wu Weixi, the second is the governor of Taizhou, Tan Zili, the governor of Ningbo, Tang Jingchuan, and the military guards of Suzhou, Chonggu."
Huang Jin looked at Emperor Jiajing who was drooping his head and silently asked, "Where is the general?"
"Zhejiang General Yu Dayou, Deputy General Qi Jiguang, followed by Wusong General Dong Bangzheng, and Ning Shaotai General Lu Bin..."
As he spoke, Xu Wei suddenly stopped talking, and Huang Jin smiled and said, "I am so cautious in writing."
The last few names have also been in the ears of Emperor Jiajing over the past few months, such as Qi Jimei, Hou Jigao, Yang Wen, etc.
"I remember that guerrilla named Yang was under Zhan Cai?" Huang Jin asked curiously.
"Yes, Yang Wen, a native of Taizhou, is skilled in martial arts and has a strategy. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, he was rescued by Zhan Cai. Later, he formed a guard to be led by this man. He was killed in all the wars. He led his army thousands of miles to pursue the Japanese pirates. This man was in charge of the army." Xu Wei explained: "The guards around Zhan Cai were transferred into the army, but the letter mentioned that only Yang Wen would stay in the army, and the rest would wait for the Japanese riots to quell, and they would return to the Qian family."
"It's just a guard of one or two hundred people, he's very focused." Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Qi Jiguang...Yu Dayou..."
After a pause, Emperor Jiajing laughed and scolded, "Listing Hu Ruzhen in the first place shows that Wen Chang is open-minded, but he has no money to show talent, which shows that Wen Chang has personal selfishness."
Xu Wei chuckled and said nothing. Every letter Qian Yuan sent to Beijing focused on mentioning one thing repeatedly. Zhejiang inspectors must not be lost in this position.
Qian Yuan was not qualified to lead the party for two years after he entered the officialdom. Not to mention a governor, even a governor, he could not be in charge of a government office. He could only control the overall situation as an inspector.
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand to repel Xu Wei and said to Huang Jin with a smile: "If Zhan was ten years older, I would rather let him go to Fujian."
Huang Jin is not very easy to interfere in this way. If Qian Yuan was really ten years older, he would use this person to suppress the governor of Zhejiang, win over the governor of Zhejiang, and half-control the army, I am afraid that even Your Majesty would not use it.
"What the emperor said is that Zhan Cai is only twenty-three this year." Huang Jin smiled and said, "But the emperor practices the Tao more and more, Zhan Cai can wait."
Emperor Jiajing nodded repeatedly and waved his hand: "Go and call the fairy Lan!"
After leaving Xiyuan, Xu Wei immediately returned to Suiyuan, flipped through the book and wrote a secret letter, asking Liu Hong to send the guards out of Beijing immediately.
Emperor Jiajing asked Xu Wei to comment on the Southeast officials. There was no doubt that this was to draw personnel to Fujian. Among the civil officials, it was unlikely that the governor of Zhejiang Direct Hu Zongxian, Wu Baipeng, Tan Lun, and Tang Shunzhi were all possible, and these three people were closely related to Qian Yuan.
This is even more true for military generals. Yu Dayou and Qian Yuan have a close relationship. Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, Lu Bin and others are all direct descendants of Qian Yuan. Once transferred, Qian Yuan will have fewer people to use.
Will this affect Qian Yuan’s plan in Zhenhai... It will definitely!
Xu Wei estimated it in his heart for a while and couldn't help but sigh. Zhan Cai was among the wolves. This move was like playing with fire by the side of oil. If it was not good, it would be burned by fire.
"I won't go to Fujian, are you?"
The question was Qian Zheng, who had just returned from the yamen, was the most informed person, and the Japanese riots in Fujian were very fierce, and the military department sent a letter to the clerk to propose a new Fujian Governor.
Qian Yuan is not qualified to serve as the governor of Fujian, but he may be transferred... After all, everyone knows that although Qian Yuan does not take charge of the army, he has repeatedly entered the army and has made many military achievements.
"It shouldn't be." Xu Wei shook his head. If His Majesty had this intention, he wouldn't say that he had personal selfishness... He said it, then it would be unlikely to draw Qian Yuan.
After pausing, Xu Wei sighed, "But next..."
"What?" Qian Zheng's heart tightened, "Is there any trouble?"
Xu Wei licked his dry lips, his eyes wandered, and after a while, he said, "This matter has been planned for a long time... By the way, is there a censor in Kedao who impeached Zhan Cai to engage in business rashly?"
Qian Zheng stared at Xu Wei closely. Before leaving Beijing, his nephew entrusted Xu Wei with all the matters in Suiyuan. He had frequent secret letters, and even many letters were sent to Xiyuan.
If anyone knows everything about Qian Yuan in the southeast, there is no doubt that it can only be Xu Wei.
After a while, Qian Zheng slowly said: "In August, a censor wrote a letter to impeach Zhan to collude with Japanese pirates, but no one responded. Since then, there has been no abnormal movement."
Yan Shifan was not very powerful, Xu Wei frowned and thought to himself that there were many Xu Jie's followers in the six departments. Although Yan's party did not intervene, no one could use it.
But it was still time, and Zhan Cai had not finished the arrangement... It should be said that the arrangement had been completed and the pit had been dug, but Zhan Cai thought the pit was not big enough and wanted to kick a few more people down.
