Angel and his entourage were still a little doubtful of the words of Shang Zhifu's cronies.
After all, more than 40,000 Japanese pirates attacked the city, and only a few hundred of them were killed and escaped. This kind of thing is too exaggerated.
Isn’t it true that when people at the bottom report victory to others, they are exaggerating? This has been the routine since ancient times.
It is estimated that there is not much moisture in it.
Another day later, when Angel and the others arrived in Dezhou, Shandong Province, they encountered a large team of prisoners offering sacrifices, with more than a thousand people, pulling more than a dozen carts covered with linoleum cloth, and
Escorting more than 400 Japanese pirate prisoners whose hands and feet were bound with ropes.
More than half of those prisoners were obviously Japanese pirates, with half-bald Tsukiyo heads, ferocious faces, stern eyes, shabby clothes, and tattoos on their bodies.
There was also a prison car in the middle. In the prison car, a Japanese pirate with a broken leg was imprisoned. He had a vicious face and full of resentment, as if he had betrayed his relatives and left.
To be locked up in a prison car, he is obviously not an ordinary Japanese pirate. He must be a Japanese chieftain.
When the two angels saw this group of prisoners, they couldn't help but think of the Suzhou Prefecture reporting personnel they met yesterday.
Could it be that this team of prisoners were also from Suzhou Prefecture?!
If it's true, then Suzhou's great victory of wiping out 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese is basically true?!
Oh my god.
Suzhou Prefecture really annihilated 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese pirates, and Zhu Ping'an still played a major role in turning the tide!
Master Zhu killed 290 Japanese, and the reward gave the great men in the capital a headache for ten days. Now Master Zhu has killed 30,000 or 40,000 Japanese. God knows how long such a great achievement will give the great men in the capital a headache.
Haha, it’s getting more and more interesting after watching the excitement.
When we came, Eunuch Feng asked us to take care of Mr. Zhu. It can be seen that Eunuch Feng and Mr. Zhu have a special relationship. Eunuch Feng is now a famous person in the harem. Since the policy of turning the tables on the bed was implemented, Eunuch Feng's influence in the harem has become more and more important.
Bigger.
The higher Mr. Zhu's official promotion is, the greater the benefits that Eunuch Feng will receive invisibly.
Although it is said that there is an iron law in the Ming Dynasty that the father-in-law of the inner court is not allowed to make friends with ministers of the foreign court, but the iron law is an iron law and the reality is reality. In reality, which father-in-law of the inner court who is in power does not make friends with ministers of the foreign court and form an alliance.
Besides, the Iron Law of the Ming Dynasty does not prohibit the normal interactions between the father-in-law of the inner court and the ministers of the outer court. As long as they are not so public, who can say anything. Our official business overlaps, and normal exchanges and exchanges are normal. If we don’t interact with each other,
, how can official business be carried out? No one can criticize it.
Mr. Zhu was the number one scholar at a young age, was demoted to the south of the Yangtze River, and made great achievements many times. No wonder Eunuch Feng wants to befriend Mr. Zhu.
If this trend continues, Lord Zhu will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, which is just around the corner.
Although Mr. Zhu has made enemies of Mr. Yan Ge's party, his future is limitless, and Mr. Zhu's mentor, Mr. Xu Ge, has an increasingly good relationship with Mr. Yan Ge. If Mr. Xu Ge makes peace, it is not impossible to turn the hostility into friendship!
In addition, Mr. Zhu has made great contributions, and it will not be easy for the old Yan Ge faction to suppress Mr. Zhu.
The Za family should take advantage of this opportunity to make good friends with Mr. Zhu.
After some mental activity, the two eunuchs ordered the factory guards to inquire about the prisoner-offering team and find out if they were from Suzhou going to the capital to offer prisoners.
"Replying to my father-in-law, they are indeed a team sent by Suzhou Prefecture to the capital to offer prisoners. They took more than 10,000 Japanese pirate heads, more than 400 Japanese prisoners, and escorted a Japanese chief named Chen Dong."
The factory guard came back and reported.
"The Za family understands, thank you for your hard work." The two eunuchs nodded, and they were indeed the Suzhou prisoner-offering team.
There were more than 10,000 Japanese pirate heads alone. It seemed that Suzhou's victory was true. Lord Zhu had indeed made great achievements again.
With these prisoners and heads, the big men in the capital could not deny the Suzhou victory even if they wanted to.
Mr. Zhu is about to be promoted again.
Well, we have to seize the opportunity and make friends with Mr. Zhu. The two eunuchs looked at each other and everything was clear.
"They have a huge momentum and a large number of people. I am afraid that the states and counties along the way will have concerns about receiving them. Eunuch Li, do you think this is a good idea? We will write a handwritten letter and add the seal of the factory guard to ask the states and counties along the way to give them as much hospitality as possible.
convenient."
A eunuch suggested.
"Yes, if they arrive in the capital one day earlier, they can also make His Majesty happy. His happiness is the top priority for us slaves." Another eunuch agreed.
So, they quickly wrote a handwritten letter, added the seals they carried, and ordered the factory guard to send it to the leader of the Suzhou prisoner presentation team.
The leader was none other than Liu Mu. After receiving the handwritten letter from the factory guard, he was flattered. This was an angel from the capital. When he just asked the question, the other party had already revealed his identity. With their handwritten letter, everything along the way was filled with confusion.
It is expected that there will be no more states and counties that will not accept the smooth journey, causing people to sleep in the wild and face difficulty in supplying supplies.
"Thank you, sir. I haven't asked you for your surname yet. I'm humble enough to thank you for your kindness in the future."
Liu Mu cupped his fists and asked for advice.
"Haha, the Za family's surname is Zhang, and this one's surname is Li. We are on this trip under the decree of the Holy One to issue rewards for the Great Victory of the Sea Festival. Suzhou is one of our destinations. You have made great achievements in Suzhou again. Maybe we will have a chance to meet again.
"
A eunuch chuckled.
"Okay, you go as quickly as possible. The sooner you present the prisoners, the better." Another eunuch waved his hand, indicating that Liu Mu could set off.
"Thank you Eunuch Zhang, thank you Eunuch Li." Liu Mu once again cupped his fists to express his thanks, and then led the prisoner offering team to continue setting off.
Sure enough, with the handwriting of two angels opening the way, Liu Mu and the others had an easy journey. No state or county would keep them out of the city anymore.
The next day, in the afternoon, Mr. Wang, the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, dressed up and went out with a generous gift. He was going to attend Yan Shifan's private wine party.
That day, he finalized the official document of rewards and punishments for the Great Victory of Jihai. After the Holy Emperor Yu Lan approved it, he received an invitation from the Yan Mansion as soon as he returned home.
Wang Shilang opened it and saw that it was an invitation sent by Yan Shifan, inviting him to come and have a drink this afternoon.
When he received the invitation, Wang Shilang was overjoyed. He understood that it must be the official document about rewards and punishments for the Great Victory at Sea today, especially the rewards and punishments for Zhu Ping'an.
In fact, Shilang Wang has been a member of the Yan Party for a long time, but the Yan Party is full of talents, and Wang Shilang has never been given a chance. Now that I have an opportunity, I took it. You see, Yan Shifan even came to treat me to a drink.
Soon, Shilang Wang arrived at the restaurant designated by Yan Shifan. The restaurant was located on the second floor next to an intersection, which was a prime location.
