"I don't have these concerns. I have the final say on who should be used and how to use it. It's not the turn of the censors to be noisy."

Although Zhu Cilang's voice was not loud, he had the majesty of the superior, which was the momentum that only the Holy Emperor had.

"Since that's the case, I will follow your Majesty's orders."

Lu Zhenfei paused and said, "But where is Your Majesty going to start?"

"Since Zheng Zhilong has plagued Zhejiang the most, let's start here."

"I obey the order."

......

......

Ningbo Prefecture, Xiangshan County.

This place is famous for its abundant tea called Xiangshan Tea. However, recently, the people of Xiangshan County are not in the mood to grow tea and pick tea, because pirates rage the coastal areas, and all the residential houses along the coast are burned, males are killed, and women are raped.

People were in panic for a moment.

Qiao Yuan is also a tea farmer in Xiangshan County.

Recently, he was forced to waste the tea garden and flee to the county town for refuge.

He thought that no matter how cruel the Japanese pirates were, they would never be able to attack the county town, right?

If this is true, then will the Ming Dynasty's official troops become decorations?

Qiao Yuan will stay at his cousin's house for the time being.

His cousin is an official in the yamen. Although the house is not big, it is also spacious. It would be no problem to live alone with Qiao Yuan.

But he said that Qiao Yuan was about to go out on this day, but he saw his cousin rushing back.

He couldn't help but be surprised.

You should know that it's just noon now, so it's logical that my cousin should have done it in the yamen.

Something big must have happened when he was so anxious to come back.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you so anxious to come back?"

"Yuan'er, something big is wrong."

Qiao Yuan's cousin Qiao Yong cleared his throat and said, "Let's go in and talk."

After saying that, I first crossed the threshold and then tightly closed the door.

"Uncle, what's wrong? You said."

Qiao Yong sighed and said, "It was the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates gave the county priest an ultimatum. The county priest wanted to offer Xiangshan County within three days. Otherwise..."

"What else?"

Qiao Yuan asked.

"Otherwise, the Japanese pirates will conquer Xiangshan County and no one in the city will stay!"

"hiss!"

Qiao Yuan couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

"This Japanese pirate is extremely cruel."

He paused and then continued: "But this Xiangshan County is also very strong. It is not easy for Japanese pirates to break through."

"I don't know this. But the county lord is now frightened and can't even sleep. I think, Xiangshan County can't escape this disaster."

Qiao Yong shook his head, looking helpless.

"I'm here to tell you to go out of the city as soon as possible and escape to Shaoxing Prefecture first. There are heavy troops from the court there, and the Japanese pirates should not dare to provoke them."

"Ah, cousin, let's go together."

"No, I am a yamen official and I can't leave. If I leave, my job will be lost by then. You can leave first."

After saying that, Qiao Yong took some broken silver from the package and handed it to Qiao Yuan.

"This is what you can do to you on the road."

"Uncle!"

Qiao Yuanzhi was so touched that he was beyond words.

My cousin treated him so well, how could he give up his cousin and run away alone?

"Uncle, I want to go together. If you don't leave, I won't leave!"

Qiao Yuan's stubborn temper came to him, even if he could not even pull back ten cows.

Qiao Yong was stunned for a moment.

"You kid, hey, why bother?"

Qiao Yuan straightened his chest and said, "Uncle, just promise me and let me stay with you. I still don't believe it. Just Japanese pirates can break through my Ming Dynasty city."

"Well, since you really don't want to leave, I won't force you."

Qiao Yong swallowed and said, "But there is a saying that I said in front. The county master may recruit Min Zhuang from the city to help defend the city. At your age, you should not be able to escape."

"Isn't it just helping defend the city? I can."

Qiao Yuan’s words are not confident enough.

If he was really not afraid of Japanese pirates, he would not have fled into the city at the beginning.

But he really couldn't tell him to leave his cousin and run away alone. Since he stayed, he could not hesitate anymore, but he had to keep his courage.

"I'm very pleased that you can think of this."

Qiao Yong nodded slightly.

"Okay, I have to go back to the yamen. I just took half an hour off just now. If I go back late, it will inevitably cause Shangguan to blame him."

"Uncle, don't worry. I won't cause you any trouble."

“That’s good.”

......

......

Qiao Yong returned to Xiangshan County Government all the way.

He is the clerk of the household house, so he naturally works in the household house.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw his colleagues frowning, and asked tentatively: "Everyone, but the county magistrate is angry again."

"Who said no? The county master asked the prefect for help. He asked the prefect to dispatch some soldiers to help defend the city, but the prefect was evaded by the prefect. The prefect is now angry and I don't know how much porcelain has been smashed. Don't go to get into trouble at this time."

"ah!"

Qiao Yong couldn't help but exclaim.

In fact, it was not surprising that the county master went to the prefect to ask for help from him.

Logically speaking, the Japanese pirates were raging, so the court should send troops to encircle and suppress them.

However, the imperial court was far away in Nanjing, and the distance could not relieve the near thirst. By the time the imperial army arrived, perhaps Xiangshan County had been captured.

Zhejiang Chengcheng announced the General Envoy Department. The governor's yamen and the governor's yamen are all located in Hangzhou.

When several bigwigs in Hangzhou City got the news, perhaps the head of the county priest had been cut off by the Japanese pirates.

Therefore, the most realistic choice of the county magistrate is to ask for help from the prefect.

But the prefect obviously did not intend to send all the soldiers he had in his hands because of Xiangshan County.

It’s okay to win, but what if you lose?

Then wouldn’t he lose his ability to protect himself?

It can only be said that the prefect made a choice that normal people would make.

But in this way, the county magistrate will feel desperate.

The magistrate of Xiangshan County was named Chen Huan, and he was from Qinghe, Shandong.

He passed the imperial examination during the Chongzhen period and then passed the imperial examination.

For more than ten years, Chen Huan has been appointed as the magistrates from all over the country.

If it were ordinary people, they might lament and think that the future was bleak.

But Chen Huan doesn't.

Chen Huan’s biggest advantage is that he knows fate. He knows how to be content.

Although the seventh-rank county magistrate is young, he is still a parent and official, and he must be respected by the people as the Marquis of Baili.

How many people want to be county magistrates but can’t do it?

If he can be the county magistrate for the rest of his life, he will be content.

But God seemed to have made a big joke with him, and there was a Japanese attack in the southeast.

Ningbo Prefecture is the worst-hit area, and Xiangshan County is the top priority.

In this case, if he cannot defend the county town, he will be charged with losing his territory. Not to mention keeping his black hat, he may even lose his head.

Thinking of this, it is not difficult to understand that Chen Huan Leiting is furious.
