Chapter 1457: The Second Examination of Zhang Jing (1)
Uh, aren't I strict enough in running the army?! Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be startled after hearing Zhang Jing's comments about his kindness and mercy. I have established military laws and strictly enforced them. Is this still a kindness and mercy?
Zhang Jing did not give Zhu Pingan a chance to speak, and continued to ask, "Is your regiment capable of fighting now?"
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan shook his head frankly and replied with a wry smile, "Sir, the Zhejiang Army under Xiaguan has only been training for more than half a month. At present, it has only begun to take shape. It has not yet formed an army. Its combat effectiveness is limited. It is embarrassing.
Fight." At this point, Zhu Pingan changed the topic again and said with a firm face, "Despite this, I promise with my life and property that the Zhejiang Army will be called back when called upon, will respond when called upon to fight, and will complete its mission to the death!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jing nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Zhu Pingan with admiration, "You are very honest, which is quite rare. If you answer that you can fight, you can fight, and you are good at fighting, I will serve tea to see you off.
If you are called back, you will be recalled, if there is a battle, you will respond... You have said this very well, and you have the demeanor of a veteran general. If all military attaches have this awareness, there will be no need to worry about the injustice of the Japanese pirates, and no need to worry about the North.
Capture is uncertain. However, some things are easier said than done. As it is said, I will not force others to make things difficult for me. If you go back and train strictly, you will be of use to your Zhejiang army in the future."
There will be a day when we will be useful in the future. The subtext means that now, we will not be needed in the near future...
Too.
Nowadays, the regular troops at the Beijing Camp and Guard Station near Yingtian really have no need for the militia under him, which has less than a thousand people and less than a month of training...
Zhu Pingan also has self-knowledge in his heart.
Dong Dong Dong...
At this moment, there were three knocks on the door and the voice of a servant reporting, "Master Shangshu, I have something to report for my humble duty."
Zhang Jing said, "Come in." After the officer came in, Zhang Jing asked, "Qi Shuli, what do you have to report?"
"I would like to inform you, Lord Shangshu, that Zhang Xuan of the Southern Zhili Province and Councilor Zhang have come to the Yamen to ask for an audience." Qi Shuli bowed and reported.
"Why did Counselor Zhang come here?" Zhang Jing asked.
Qi Shuli bowed and replied, "Reporting to your lord, Zhang Shenyi said that he accidentally obtained a volume of "Wartime Notes" written by monk Huaisu yesterday. It recorded a war event in the Tang Dynasty. The writing style is like a sudden rain and whirlwind, and the momentum is
The whole hall was full, and Counselor Zhang couldn't tell whether the post was written by Monk Huaisu himself. Thinking of his great literary and military talents, he came to ask for advice."
Zhang Jing couldn't help but frown when he heard this, waved his hand impatiently, and said to the scribe without hesitation, "Tell Senator Zhang that I am busy with affairs and have no time to discuss it with him. Please ask him to go back."
When Zhu Pingan heard this, he couldn't help being startled.
Zhang Jing refused to visit Councilor Zhang, so why did he receive him? In terms of rank, status, and weight, he was inferior to Councilor Zhang in everything. Councilor Zhang was a fourth-rank official in charge of military affairs in South Zhili.
"Yes." The scribe took the order and left.
"Sir Zhu, are you wondering why I saw you but not Senator Zhang?" Zhang Jing noticed Zhu Ping'an's confused expression and asked softly.
"I do have this doubt," Zhu Ping'an said frankly.
"I am really busy with work. The reason why I see you is because you are the only official who has come to the Yamen to check the detailed files of Japanese pirates in these days. Nowadays, the Japanese invasion is becoming more and more serious and has become the most serious harm in Jiangnan. It is natural to eliminate Japanese pirates.
It has become a top priority. If you are interested, I will naturally want to see you. As for appreciating copybooks, I don't have the time!" Zhang Jing spoke slowly, clearing Zhu Pingan's doubts.
So, Zhu Pingan understood immediately. I was the only official who came to check the detailed files on the Japanese pirates. Who was the other person?
"Before you, Hu Zongxian, the censor of Zhejiang Province, also came to check the detailed files on recent Japanese pirates."
Zhang Jing seemed to be able to read minds. He knew what Zhu Pingan was thinking by looking at Zhu Pingan's expression and took the initiative to speak.
Hu Zongxian!
Zhu Ping'an was not surprised to hear that Hu Zongxian took the initiative to check the detailed files of the Japanese pirates, because Hu Zongxian's main historical merit and achievement in history was to destroy the Japanese. Those who made great achievements in destroying the Japanese will naturally understand that only by knowing their enemies and knowing themselves can they be invincible in a hundred battles.
reason.
"It's rare that you are a thoughtful person, Mr. Zhu. What do you think about the current Japanese invasion?"
Zhang Jing asked Zhu Pingan.
"The problem of Japanese invasion began in the pre-Yuan Dynasty and has continued to this day for more than 150 years. Before, Japanese pirates had not caused a major intrusion, but it is different now. In recent years, Japanese pirate invasions have become more serious, especially this year.
Since then, the situation has changed suddenly, and the Japanese invasion has become increasingly serious. I checked the files and found that the severity of the Japanese invasion this year is very different from before. It has the characteristics of frequent occurrence, long time, large scale, large number of people, and wide area. These Japanese pirates have achieved a large number of people.
Thousands of people landed and plundered all over the southeast coast. After landing and plundering, they no longer fled as quickly as before. Instead, they established strongholds along the coast, stayed there for a long time, and plundered at any time. They also began to penetrate deep into the inland. The most obvious
An example is the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu! The Japanese pirates from Shangyu have penetrated deep into the territory of Huizhou! Among the Japanese invaders, not only the real Japanese but also the fake ones are also numerous. A large number of coastal residents have joined the Japanese pirates and committed evil and evil deeds. The official thinks,
The Japanese invasion this year can be called the "big Japanese pirate"! The south of the Yangtze River is rich and has always been the focus of our country's wealth. The Japanese invasion in the south of the Yangtze River directly affects our country's financial income and the stability of the country, shakes the foundation of our country, wipes out the Japanese pirates, and quells the Japanese chaos.
It is not only the top priority for the south of the Yangtze River! It is also the top priority for our country! Even now it is even more urgent than the northern pirates. We must destroy the Japanese pirates without delay!"
Zhu Pingan thought for a moment and replied slowly.
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's answer, Zhang Jing couldn't help but nodded, "Mr. Zhu, you are indeed serious. There are many times, long time, large scale, large number of people, and a wide area. You have made a good summary of the Japanese invasion situation this year."
"Thank you, sir." Zhu Pingan said modestly, "As long as you pay a little attention, you can see these situations."
"Haha, some people can't see that now that the Japanese invasion is so serious, they still have the heart to appreciate calligraphy. It's really ridiculous!" Zhang Jing couldn't help but sneered, and once again sarcastically mocked Zhang Shensen, who was unwilling to see him.
Well.
It seems that Counselor Zhang was remembered by Zhang Jing... in a negative way!
I originally wanted to use Monk Huaisu's copybook to get closer to Zhang Jing, but I didn't expect that it backfired. I couldn't see him, and it was even more delusional to get closer. Zhang Jing was remembered as a negative example.
It is conceivable that Zhang Shensen, who has become a negative example, will never get any good results from Zhang Jing.
As long as Zhang Jing is here, Counselor Zhang will no longer think about promotion or anything! He will even have to worry about whether he can wear his black gauze hat!
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for Counselor Zhang.
