Xu Jin led the generals into the Shaoxing Guard's camp, and immediately ordered the 500th battalion to take over the battalion defense and prohibit anyone from entering and leaving without authorization. Seeing this, the generals of the Shaoxing Guard became even more nervous. Under the fierce attention of the fierce soldiers with live ammunition, Zhan Zhan entered the central army's tent in shock.

Xu Jin took off his wet straw raincoat and sat straight in the main seat. His calm eyes swept over the generals in front of him. An invisible pressure naturally emanated. Xu Jin appeared in a high position, holding the power of life and death, and after a long battle formation, his momentum was really not overwhelming. Feng Guoqing and other Shaoxing Guards stood upright and did not even dare to show their aura.

Xu Jin didn't talk nonsense and said bluntly: "The troops in Jiangxi are the vanguards, the 500 battalions are the central army, and the Shaoxing guards are the left wing. At midnight tonight, the troops will be sent to attack the thieves. However, those who are afraid of the former will be killed, those who retreat without authorization will be killed, those who escape at the battle will be killed, and those who are passive and lazy to fight - kill!"

"The last general takes the order and fight bravely to kill the thieves, and I will never let you go!" Yu Linsheng and others agreed in unison.

The generals of Shaoxing Guard all changed their faces. The commander Feng Guoqing secretly complained. Governor Xu was really decisive and suddenly he was able to give himself a warning. Now he just entered the tent and issued an order to send troops. The military order for the passive and lazy warrior to kill was clearly targeted at the generals of Shaoxing Guard.

Seeing Governor Xu looking at him, and his eyes turned cold in an instant, Feng Guoqing was shocked and hurried forward and shouted loudly: "If Shaoxing Guards are ordered, they will definitely fight to fight for the thief and will not follow."

Seeing this, the generals of Shaoxing Guards hurriedly shouted, "I will fight for the thief bravely, and I will never let it go." However, the voices were scattered and seemed sparse, without any momentum.

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows. If it weren't for the time of employing people, he would have ordered the group of passive and lazy warriors to take down the timid soldiers and generals, but now he can only keep it.

Xu Jin took out his pocket watch from his arms, opened it with a snap, and said indifferently: "It is the end of You hour. Each unit will immediately accumulate energy after dinner. Send troops at the middle hour, so there must be no mistakes."

As the saying goes, the military orders are like a mountain. Yu Linsheng, Xiong Bai and others immediately set out the tent to arrange for the headquarters to have a meal and rest without any delay. Seeing this, the generals of Shaoxing Wei retreated from the tent to prepare for war.

After the generals left, Wang Lin'er couldn't help asking: "Master, do you really notify Guanhaiwei and Changguowei to launch a joint attack?"

Xu Jin waved his hand decisively and said, "No need, it's enough to have Shaoxing Wei. If there are too many people, it will be a hindrance."

Speaking of which, Xu Jinzhi suddenly marched and launched a sudden attack on the Shaoxing Guard. In addition to shocking the generals of the Shaoxing Guard, his main purpose was to attack the pirates of Wang Zhi's troops who besieged Ningbo Prefecture overnight.

Although the passive and lazy battle between Guanhaiwei, Changguowei and Shaoxingwei was infuriating, it undoubtedly paralyzed the pirates of Wang Zhi's troops besieging Ningbo Prefecture. He believed that the military troops would not take the initiative to provoke, so if they attacked overnight at this time, they would definitely have miraculous results.

The reason why Xu Jin chose the Shaoxing Guard was, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Shaoxing Guard was the garrison army of Shaoxing Prefecture, while the Guanhai Guard and Changguo Guard were both the coastal guards of Ningbo Prefecture, so they were inevitably connected with Wang Zhi, so in comparison, the Shaoxing Guard was more secure.

After all, even the Zhejiang Censor secretly informed Wang Zhi, so Xu Jin naturally had to be extremely cautious, so he would rather not inform Guanhaiwei and Changguowei for the attack tonight, so as not to leak the news.

Of course, Xu Jin could not rule out that someone in Shaoxing Guard had an affair with Wang Zhi, so Xu Jin first launched a sudden attack on Shaoxing Guard. While shocking the generals of Shaoxing Guard, he quickly blocked the camp to prevent spies from running out to inform Wang Zhi's troops.

Therefore, since the military meeting was held in Hangzhou City, Xu Jin's every move was linked. First, he made a noise that he wanted to lead his troops south to Ningbo, and to snatch away the spies who had affair with Wang Zhi in Hangzhou City. Then he led his army south slowly, secretly observing the actions of the three guards, and finally suddenly "attacked" and took down the Shaoxing guards.

Now, whether it is the Wang Zhi's troops who besieged Ningbo Prefecture, or the Guanhaiwei and Changguowei, they all think that Xu Jin will not arrive tomorrow afternoon. In fact, our Governor Xu is already lurking in the Shaoxing Guard Camp at this time and sharpens his sword.

Speaking of which, the Shaoxing Guard camp is twenty miles north of Ningbo Prefecture City, and it takes less than an hour to reach the bottom of Ningbo Prefecture City.

...

The drizzle was still falling. The ancient night was as dark as thick ink, and I couldn't see my fingers. However, at this moment, the city of Ningbo was brightly lit and the tinder in the pot was burning.

Looking down from the city, I saw the camp tents outside the city for several miles, the lights flashed like a galaxy, and the people were silhouetted under the fire. It was the camp of the pirates of Wang Zhibu, and the sound was quite scary.

Speaking of which, there were nearly 20,000 pirates in Wang Zhi's army that besieged Ningbo Prefecture this time, and even claimed to be a 50,000 army to the outside world. However, Wang Zhi himself did not come in person. This guy was very cautious. He stayed on Jintang Island and personally managed his smuggling business. The matter of leading troops to the war was fully handed over to his adopted son Wang Sheng.

Wang Fei's original name was Mao Haifeng. After he became Wang Zhi as his adoptive father, he changed his name to Wang Fei. This man had read books, read and wrote words, and had two tricks when fighting. He took Dinghai and Fenghua. Now he has a total of 30,000 troops under his command. He left 5,000 troops to guard Dinghai and Fenghua, and then he personally led the remaining 20,000 people to attack Ningbo Prefecture City.

However, Ningbo City has a high wall and deep city, and Mao Haifeng lacks siege equipment, so it attacked for six consecutive days but still failed to break the city.

It is worth mentioning here that Wang Zhi's troops have occupied the two counties and have plundered a large amount of wealth, so Wang Zhi's smuggling business on Jintang Island is booming. Not only did he hand over the goods to Ximen Junxiu (Ronna Road) as scheduled, but he also delivered the goods twice as much.

For this reason, Western merchants and Nanyang merchants flocked to Jintang Island to do business with Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi made a fortune and bought a large number of muskets from Westerners, and even bought dozens of Franc cannons, and his strength also increased greatly.

With his strength rapidly growing, Wang Zhi's appetite and ambition also expanded, and he signed a large number of orders with the smuggling merchants, so he kept urging his adopted son Mao Haifeng to speed up the pace of plunder to meet his growing order demand.

Because of this, Mao Haifeng attacked Ningbo Prefecture regardless of the losses. Even after receiving the news that Xu Jin, the governor of Zhizhe, was about to lead the army south, he had no intention of retreating. Moreover, Mao Haifeng was also a proud and arrogant person, obviously intending to compete with Xu Changsheng, so he was waiting for Governor Xu to come and compete.
