Zhu Ping'an ordered the chief envoy of Zhejiang and the envoy to be punished and inspected. He ordered the envoys to be sent out of the yamen and watched them leave.
When meeting them, Zhu Ping'an also gave face to Mr. Zhang, the leader of Zu Lao, and thanked him for his care in his words, which made Mr. Zhang's face glowing and made Zhejiang's chief envoy and the commander-in-chief envious.
After Zhu Pingan was demoted, he had been watching in Zhejiang and became very familiar with Zhejiang. Through in-depth conversations with the three people, he learned more about Zhejiang.
The current situation in Zhejiang is extremely severe and the Japanese invasion is extremely serious, much more serious than the Japanese invasion in South Zhili.
The big Japanese pirate Wang Zhi is the culprit of Zhejiang's serious situation and the serious culprit of the Japanese invasion in Zhejiang.
At the beginning, Wang Zhi had great expectations for the imperial court, imagining that the imperial court would agree to his request for "trade". On the premise that the local government acquiesced to the private market, Wang Zhi had been working hard to control the Japanese pirates under his command (although he could not completely control them), and he also pacified (engulfed) the Japanese pirates.
), including Chen Sipan and many other Japanese pirates who burned, killed and looted in Zhejiang, the Japanese invasion situation in Zhejiang is still relatively controllable.
However, now, Wang Zhi's fantasy of doing business has come to nothing, and he has torn off the pretense. Instead of trying to control his subordinates, he now drives the Japanese pirates under his subordinates to attack everywhere, burning, killing and looting all over Zhejiang, in an attempt to use force to force the imperial court to surrender and allow him to trade with each other.
requirements.
The Japanese invasion of Zhejiang is out of control.
The number of Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi's command was far beyond that of Xu Hai. The Japanese pirates under his command included local Chinese bandits, Japanese samurai ronin, red-haired Yi musketeers, etc. There were as many as 100,000 Japanese pirates directly under his command and under his control.
Now, Wang Zhi has occupied Zhoushan Ligang as his nest. He has more than 300 Japanese ships under his command, not to mention several giant ships, with a fleet of 120 paces and a capacity of 2,000 people.
You can ride a horse on it.
Naval battles, land battles, and strength are all at the level of a giant.
The undisputed king of the sea.
Not only that, Wang Zhi also had bases on the five islands of Japan, which was almost equivalent to a famous name in Japan.
As for the health centers in Zhejiang, they were old, weak, sick and disabled, and lacked training. Whenever they encountered Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi's command, they were beaten and had to rely on the city to hold on. Smaller county towns were often attacked by Japanese pirates, and even prefectural cities were attacked by Japanese pirates.
, but it was not occupied by Japanese pirates for a period of time like Jiaxing.
The Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi's command broke into Jinhua Mansion some time ago. After burning, killing and looting, they retreated.
Speaking of Jiaxing, Jiaxing is also one of the eleven prefectures in Zhejiang. It was conquered by Xu Hai some time ago and occupied for more than half a month. It was only known that it was "recaptured" by Zhao Chong a few days ago.
To the north of Jiaxing is Songjiang Prefecture in South Zhili. Tuolin and other places in Songjiang Prefecture were occupied by Xu Hai as Nest.
The Japanese pirates under Xu Hai not only plundered southern Zhili, but also the Jiaxing Prefecture in Zhejiang Province near Tuolin.
Therefore, the most important Japanese plague in Zhejiang is the Wangzhi Japanese, and the secondary Japanese Japanese is the Xuhai Japanese.
With these two Japanese plagues, the situation in Zhejiang is much more corrupt than in South Zhili.
Now, the pressure has come to Zhu Pingan.
Just now, when Zhu Pingan met with the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang, and when he was proposing the punishment of the Inspector and the Commander of the Capital, Zhu Pingan arranged a task for the Commander of the Zhejiang Capital, ordering him to carry out inspections on the beacon towers, beacon piers and other facilities in the area under his jurisdiction.
During inspections, any damage found must be repaired immediately. If there are no beacon towers, beacon piers and other early warning facilities within ten miles, they must be immediately added and specially assigned to be on duty. Once traces of Japanese pirates are found, beacon fire and smoke warning facilities must be lit immediately.
To capture Wang Zhi at once, Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates had no choice but to take early warning to reduce losses.
Not long after Zhu Ping'an sent away the chief envoy of Zhejiang and sentenced the envoy and the commander of the capital, there was a report from the officer and another person came.
The person who came this time was not an outsider, but Zhu Ping'an's father-in-law.
The father-in-law came from the south with Li Shu's two brothers before Li Shu gave birth.
"Taishan has arrived? Go and tell my wife, I will greet you at the front door first." When Zhu Ping'an learned that his father-in-law was coming from the south, he sent someone to the backyard to tell Li Shu, and then trotted to the front door to greet him.
"I didn't know Taishan was coming, but my son-in-law is late." Zhu Pingan trotted to the door and said hello to Rich Man Li.
"I've met the eldest brother, the second brother..." Zhu Pingan went on to say hello to the two brothers-in-law.
Rich Man Li is still as wealthy as ever, with a big belly, wearing a satin cotton coat and a black bearskin cloak.
The two elder brothers-in-law have gained a lot of weight compared to the last time they met, and they look a little bit like Rich Man Li.
Behind them followed an endless convoy of carriages, at least forty or fifty in number. Each carriage was protected by two large and round guards, with knives hanging on their waists and some carrying bows and arrows.
I could feel a fierce aura from a distance.
Several of the carriages are enlarged and widened. Each carriage has two horses pulling the carriage. The ruts are deep and the horses pulling the carriage are tired and panting. The carriage is covered with felt cloth. I don’t know what is inside.
.
"Okay, don't pay me any more. Take us to see Shu'er quickly. My precious daughter must be suffering."
Rich Man Li waved his hand impatiently. He still looked at Zhu Pingan with displeasure as always. The eyes were not eyes and the nose was not a nose. He looked at Zhu Pingan as if he saw a thief who stole cabbages in his vegetable patch.
Even though Zhu Ping'an had been promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Zhejiang, he still could not change the attitude of wealthy man Li.
However, when Rich Man Li mentioned Li Shu, the doting in his eyes almost became real, and it really hurt his heart.
"Let's go, brother-in-law, I haven't seen my little sister for a long time. If my little sister is wronged, we won't be able to forgive you."
The two brothers-in-law put their arms around Zhu Pingan's shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right. In an instant, Zhu Pingan felt as if he was being held hostage by two bears.
"Don't worry, eldest brother and second brother, I won't, I will never let Sister Li be wronged." Zhu Ping'an grinned at the two men's pinches and quickly expressed his position.
"It's not up to you to decide whether my little sister will be wronged or not. If my little sister has the final say, we have to see it with our own eyes."
The two brothers-in-law half-held and half-carried Zhu Ping'an as they walked into the yard.
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother." At this moment, Li Shu's surprised shout came from the yard.
Then
Then they saw Li Shu, with red eyes and a big belly, walking excitedly and quickly with the support of Hua'er and Qin'er.
Seeing Rich Man Li from a distance, Li Shu opened her arms and threw herself into Rich Man Li's arms, crying with red eyes.
"Nini, daddy's sweetheart, you must be suffering these days with such a big belly." Rich Man Li burst into tears instantly.
"Hmm?! My little sister has really been wronged."
Seeing that my little sister cried when she saw her family, the two brothers-in-law immediately lifted Zhu Ping'an up, one on the left and the other on the right, and they were ready to help her in the next minute.
