Chapter 961: Go to Ping Japanese for the Moon
After the imperial edict was issued, everyone including Yu Qi, He Shouyi, and Zheng Jing were ecstatic.
There has been no war for a long time, and their knives have rusted. This time, the Japanese pirates violated our Ming Dynasty's borders without knowing their lives.
If they don't teach the Japanese pirates a good lesson, they are really sorry for the knife in their hands.
What's more, His Majesty the Emperor trusts them so much that they have to go through fire and water.
The three of them completed the relevant procedures at the Ministry of War and then set off one after another.
Zheng Jing left the most urgently because he was going to Fujian and Guangdong, with the farthest distance.
The second is He Shouyi, and the last is Yu Qi.
Logically speaking, the Shandong generation had the least Japanese disease, and Yu Qi felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, he is Qi Jiguang's grandson. At least part of Qi Jiguang's bloodline flows in his blood vessels, but he cannot achieve the ultimate.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor promised that if the Japanese pirates in Shandong were wiped out, he could go to Zhejiang and other places to help suppress the Japanese.
This way, it can be considered a solution to a knot in my heart.
Among the three, only Zheng Jing became a civil servant.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
After all, he is Zheng Chenggong's eldest son and has always been prestigious in Fujian.
Even if it is a civil servant, so what? As long as his name is released, the officials and people in Fujian are still rushing to welcome him.
Of course, there is another point, that is, Zheng Jing also wanted to prove to his father that he had the ability to lead troops alone to pacify one side.
Therefore, Zheng Jing is the one who wants to show the most among the three.
From the beginning, he planned it very carefully and took all the details into consideration.
Of course, for example, how many Japanese pirates came, where they were still entrusted to the local area before measuring.
The routes of the three of them went to Pingwu Sect were very different.
Among them, Yu Qi took the land route.
This is normal. It is not much slower to take the land route from Gyeonggi to Shandong than to sea routes.
He Shouyi walked on the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou.
After all, the main battlefield where he wants to pacify the Japanese is Zhejiang.
The Grand Canal from Gyeonggi to Hangzhou was simply tailor-made for him.
Only Zheng Jing took the sea route to Fujian.
After all, the distance from Gyeonggi to Fujian is too far, and it takes too much time to take the land route, and there is no direct route like the canal, so taking the sea route is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
The three of them were very much looking forward to this battle with the Japanese pirates, and secretly thought in their hearts that the Japanese pirates cleaned their necks and waited for death.
The beautiful Shuangyu Island has now become a major stronghold for Japanese pirates to defend.
This is because the main navy led by Zheng Chenggong were all transferred to the Southeast Asian Sea and to the American continent, and the garrison was once empty.
The Ming army in Simingshan led by He Shouyi also went north to listen to the command.
The only remaining 1,800 local government troops were no match for the Japanese pirates, and they were beaten to flee in a panic.
Zhejiang Governor Wei Yuanxun was so anxious that he was overwhelmed.
Anyway, he is also a decent governor of Zhejiang, but he was unable to do anything to a group of Japanese pirates. Isn’t this the fullest manifestation of his incompetence?
The governor is incompetent, can he still sit firmly in this position?
Wei Yuanxun often woke up from nightmares, dreaming that His Majesty the Emperor dismissed his position as governor and ordered the Jinyiwei to investigate his corpse and eat, and finally put him in the imperial prison.
Although he had already submitted a memorial to the court to explain the situation in Zhejiang as soon as possible and requested the emperor to demote the emperor to mobilize the army to quell the Japanese treason. But God knows what the emperor thought. What if the emperor didn't mobilize the army in one day? What if the mobilization of the army was too late, in the end, he, the governor of Zhejiang, took the blame.
Of course, Wei Yuanxun has thought of other solutions.
He doesn't have the ability to suppress the Japanese, but he can negotiate.
If we can stabilize this group of Japanese pirates through negotiations, it may be a solution.
But I have to say that this is also a dangerous move.
If you are not careful, you will be labeled as a Japanese hat.
If he is really caught by a political enemy and impeachment, let alone a black hat, it is a different story whether his neck can be kept.
It can be said that the risks and benefits of negotiations with Japanese pirates are completely disproportionate, so Wei Yuanxun did not choose to do so.
It’s better to wait for the imperial army to arrive honestly.
"Governor, Governor."
On that day, Wei Yuanxun was taking a nap in the back hall of the yamen, and his confidant entourage ran in.
Wei Yuanxun glared at him angrily and said, "How many times have you told me that I should not disturb me during my lunch break. Even if there is a sky falling, I have to wait until my lunch break is over before reporting."
The entourage smiled bitterly, slapped himself twice, then licked his face and said with a smile: "The villain has been following the governor for so long, how can he not know the governor's rule? But today there is indeed something important to report."
"Oh? Tell me."
Wei Yuanxun thought to himself that if this guy was happy with him, he would have to establish his authority today and ordered the guy's butt to be smashed.
"Governor, the imperial court sent a large army to Zhejiang to quell the Japanese trespass."
"What did you say!"
Wei Yuanxun stood up excitedly when he heard this.
Is the imperial army that I miss day and night in the future coming?
"The imperial court's palace has arrived, and the army should have arrived later."
After saying that, the follower raised Di Bao's hands above his head.
Wei Yuanxun rushed forward with a quick step, picked up the newspaper and opened it to read it.
As expected, it was really as the follower said.
"Okay, OK."
The mansion report said that the famous general He Shouyi was responsible for quelling a generation of Japanese attacks in Zhejiang.
Wei Yuanxun has heard of He Shouyi's name.
It is said that He Shouyi organized the anti-Qing Dynasty when he was in Siming Mountain. He relied on ten thousand people to hold on for more than ten years, and he was also considered a ruthless person.
With him there, Wei Yuanxun's heart was a little settled.
But since he has received the news, some things still have to be prepared in advance.
Although his position as governor of Zhejiang is higher than that of He Shouyi, He Shouyi still has the title of marquis after all.
And now Wei Yuanxun has something to ask for He Shouyi. Since this is the case, he has to greet him with a smile and make a full attitude.
Otherwise, if He Shouyi gave Wei Yuanxun a look, or deliberately made things difficult for him, Wei Yuanxun would be the one who was in the end.
So Wei Yuanxun was planning a welcoming banquet in advance, and then he would set up a big show to welcome He Shouyi.
This person, no matter whether he is a civil servant or a military general, needs face.
If you give him enough face, he will naturally give you a good look.
Wei Yuanxun is immersed in the officialdom for many years and still knows it.
"Give orders and order the officials of all prefectures and counties in Zhejiang to prepare in advance. General He must come to Hangzhou to visit when he arrives. No mistakes must be made, otherwise this will be dealt with severely."
He Shouyi came to Zhejiang to pacify the Japanese this time, and to put it bluntly, he was half an imperial envoy.
Wei Yuanxun had made up his mind to serve this master no matter what, and he must not feel uncomfortable.
As long as He Shouyi serves comfortably, Wei Yuanxun's life will be comfortable
