Chapter 600: Not the old view anymore

On the morning of the first day of May, when the news reached the governor's office, Zhao Zhenji, who had few smiles in the past two months, jumped up and slapped the table and shouted.

"It turns out that the Japanese strickenness in Zhejiang Province has reoccur!"

Mr. Huang looked down at the official document in his hand, "It was sent by Xiangshan County Government. On April 29, Japanese pirates attacked Xiangshan, Qiancangsu, and Juexiou. Although they had not captured the county town, they were killed and robbed everywhere, and their situation was very miserable."

"How many Japanese pirates?"

Master Huang whined, "The original text is countless."

Zhao Zhenji thought for a moment and ordered: "Set out immediately and go to Xiangshan!"

Master Huang followed behind and reminded: "Dongweng, Dongweng, Xiangshan County belongs to Ningbo Prefecture..."

Zhao Zhenji paused, his face looked a little ugly. He hesitated for a while but didn't say anything. The kick two months ago made him unforgettable to him.

Master Huang handed over a ladder at the right time, "Ningbo Prefect Tang Jingchuan is now in Zhenhai."

Tang Shunzhi and Zhao Zhenji had a friendship. At that time, the former lived in his hometown and often had letters with Zhao Zhenji.

After the Chongde victory, a large-scale banker who was extorted from the bank sued Qian Yuan to Nanjing. At that time, Zhao Zhenji, who was in the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue, was quite disdainful of Qian Yuan, and Tang Shunzhi wrote a letter to tell the truth.

Zhao Zhenji nodded slightly and walked out of the study, "Just bring a dozen servants with you, and the others will go there in batches, so don't let anyone find out."

Mr. Huang immediately went to make arrangements and let the people below sneak over. Obviously, they were not good at making a plan, but Zhenhai was Qian Zhancai's territory, so he could only do this if he wanted to find out the news.

Generally speaking, the governor took a lot of effort to travel, but Zhao Zhenji almost kept going to the dock and set sail east after two quarters of an hour.

The news of the Japanese turmoil in Xiangshan reached the Governor's Office. Although it was deliberately done, almost at the same time, the Governor's Office also received the news.

Hu Zongxian is now supervising the battle far away on the front line of Chuzhou, and Wang Yin and Shen Mingchen are left behind in the Governor's Office.

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Leave it to Zhancai..."

"It must be the talent show..."

Shen Mingchen smiled and said, "Xiangshan Island is divided into two parts, most of which are Xiangshan County? Under the jurisdiction of Ningbo Prefecture? The small half belongs to Ninghai County and under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Prefecture? Whether it is Ningbo Prefecture or Taizhou Prefecture? It is worth let Zhancai go..."

"It's not just for this." Wang Yin shook his head and said, "The Duke of Lumen also ranked two Jinshi. He has made many military achievements in the past? He once sighed that Zhan Cai was very good at making a big move.

Since October last year, Zhancai has built a large number of warships in Taizhou and Ningbo? Among them are many big blessed ships? The commander of Taizhou, Ge Hao, now has more than 100 warships, firearms are all available, and soldiers are well trained. Now even if you encounter Wang Zhi, you will still have the power to fight."

"With such a navy's protection? There are countless Japanese pirates invading Xiangshan... It's quite interesting."

"What's more? Over the past year, Qi Yuanjing, Lu Bin, Qi Jimei, Yang Wen, Hou Jigao and even Zhang Yuanxun, the commander of Taizhou Prefecture, and Ge Hao have successively launched an attack to suppress the Japanese... This is also the reason why the Japanese pirates fled into Fujian. Which Japanese pirate leader is not good at using his brain and ran to Xiangshan to cause trouble?"

"Is the reputation of money beheading now unknown?"

"There must be insider." Wang Yin turned a decisive approach: "We won't get involved!"

Shen Mingchen nodded in agreement, "If Wang Zhi caused trouble? The most urgent thing would be Zhan Cai!"

They all joined Hu Zongxian's shogunate when Hu Zongxian was the governor of Zhejiang, or even when he was the prefect of Hangzhou? They knew very well about the situation in the southeast.

Hu Zongxian said he was the governor of Zhejiang, but in fact his jurisdiction was mainly in Zhejiang Province? Su Song had a bit of a sense of obeying the tune but not the publicity. At most, other places only promoted the introduction of the editors.

In Zhejiang Province, Qian Yuan defeated the Japanese in Jiaxing Prefecture three times. He rushed to the Shaoxing Prefecture to help Kuaiji, Shanyin and Shangyu twice. Therefore, Qian Yuan has a very strong influence among these two prefectures, but both of these prefectures and Hangzhou Prefecture have never reached out.

But Taizhou Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture are different. The two prefectures have strong control over the prefects, the magistrates, the magistrates, the aristocratic clans, the commanders, the generals, the people, merchants, ordinary soldiers, and Qian Yuan.

Last year, Wang Zhi officially arrived at the town customs and has been in the current situation for nearly a year. Hu Ruzhen has never set foot in Ningbo and Taizhou prefectures, which has shown his attitude.

For example, how can Zhao Zhenji, a newcomer who has been here for less than half a year, know Qian Yuan’s confidence in these two mansions?

We set off early in the morning and walked down the river. At dusk, Zhao Zhenji and his party arrived outside Zhenhai City.

"It's true as the rumors say, it's like a city flying!" Master Huang looked at the busy shore and couldn't help but praise: "Although it's a little small, I won't let Linqing!"

This evaluation is not bad. Linqing was not very famous in later generations, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it flourished by relying on canals and was a prosperous place in the world.

Zhao Zhenji glanced at the dock with a expressionless face, and did not see Qian Yuan unexpectedly. Instead, Ningbo prefect Zhao Zhenji, co-magistrate Song Jizu, Zhenhai prefect Sun Piyang and all officials went out to greet him.

"Mr. Jingchuan, I've been together for a long time."

Tang Shunzhi squeezed a smile on his thin face, "Meng Jing, the last time we met was in the 20th year of Jiajing. Meng Jing went to Lanzhou to enthrone the feudal enthronement and returned to Beijing, which happened to be the time when he left Beijing and returned home."

"After seventeen years of separation, I see you now. I'm all white and shorter, and I can't stand my hair." Zhao Zhenji looked around and sighed: "Seeing such prosperity, it can be seen that the ability of King Jingchuan should go to Beijing to help the princes and establish the great cause of the country."

Tang Shunzhi smiled faintly and stretched out his hand and said, "The stone road was completed in early April, and there were constant merchants coming and going. This time, I was in a state of vagueness and we were greeted by the streets."

Zhao Zhenji's smile also faded, and he walked down the dock without saying a word.

Sun Pi, who was standing beside him, looked at his nose and his heart, but he was quite disdainful. He was Tang Shunzhi and Qian Yuan’s most capable assistant in Zhenhai, and he was very clear about the incident that happened in two months.

Zhao Zhenji was obviously poaching and took out the bargaining chips to promote it to Beijing, but he himself was indifferent to business and knew nothing.

In April, a place in Zhenhai was sent to Taicang warehouse, with a total of more than 370,000 taels of silver and 25,000 shi of rice in the inner transportation warehouse.

What is this concept?

In the 36th year of Jiajing, the Ministry of Revenue recorded a total of 2 million taels of silver in the warehouse, and it took less than half a year for Zhenhai to account for more than 20%.

Qian Yuan privately stated that from the prefect of Ningbo to the magistrate, the procurator, and then to the magistrate of Zhenhai... no one dared to rob these locations without His Majesty's instructions, nor could they rob them!

Xu Jie really doesn’t have that ability to promote Tang Jingchuan to Beijing!

Sun Piyang followed Tang Shunzhi, Zhao Zhenji got off the dock behind him. Just as he was about to get on the carriage, he suddenly heard Zhao Zhenji exclaim.

"That's the military camp? Who is stationed?"

Although the distance is not close and across the river, you can still see the dark crowds, the cold light of the setting sun shining on the weapons, and the ships are shuttled back and forth, and there are many big men with swords and guns on the ship.

Tang Shunzhi looked calm but did not answer. After pausing, Sun Piyang said, "That is Jinji Mountain, and Zhaobao Village is at the foot of the mountain. After the city was established for trading last year, the sea merchants gathered silver to build it."

"With a knife and a gun, how dare the merchants go to Zhenhai?"

Sun Piyang smiled and said, "Today, the adults should be careful and alert."

Zhao Zhenji looked at Sun Piyang and got on the carriage without saying a word.

It has been said clearly enough that it is natural for you, Zhao Zhenji, suddenly arrived at Zhenhai, and Wang Zhicai was on the alert... I am afraid that you will be humble again!
