"Zihou, I will leave southern Zhejiang to you. Once we have defeated Xu Hai, we will take advantage of the victory and send troops to southern Zhejiang to wipe out Wang Zhi in one fell swoop! Apart from the two major Japanese chiefs, Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, the Japanese troubles in Jiangnan are also limited.
Let the situation settle down! I will have the face to face the Holy Spirit."
Zhang Jing patted Zhu Pingan's shoulder with satisfaction and said with an optimistic face.
Zhang Jing is very optimistic, but Zhu Pingan is not so optimistic. History has proven that after Wang Zhi was beheaded and Xu Hai was destroyed, the Japanese invasion in Jiangnan became more widespread, and it took nearly ten years to completely quell it.
However, it all depends on people. The road is long, but if you work hard, you will reach it.
"Ping'an wishes the Governor great success!" Zhu Ping'an stood up, picked up the teacup, and paid respect to Zhang Jing.
"Thank you for your good wishes!" Zhang Jing picked up the tea cup, clinked it, and then added, "This also wishes us immediate success. After Xu Hai is wiped out, we will join forces in southern Zhejiang and wipe out Wang Zhi and Wang Zhi in one fell swoop!"
"Immediate success!" The two drank the wine in one gulp.
"My Lord Governor, I came to Jiaxing today to do one more thing. I implemented the ten-household protection law in Zhejiang and found something unusual in Douopu Pu, not far to the northwest of Jiaxing, and Fuchun Bay, just north of Jiaxing. I sent people in disguise to investigate.
No abnormalities have been found in Fuchun Bay yet, but abnormalities have been discovered in Dou Dou Pu."
Before bidding farewell to Zhang Jing, Zhu Ping'an informed Zhang Jing of the abnormal situation in Doupu Pu.
According to Zhang Jing's order, he will return to Shaoxing tomorrow and has no time to deal with Dou Dou Pu. However, Dou Dou Pu's location is very critical and is within the scope of the future battle of Wangjiangjing. If this nail is not removed, it may cause
Not a small trouble.
Therefore, before leaving, Zhu Pingan told Zhang Jing about the situation in Dou Pu and asked Zhang Jing to remove the nail.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Zhang Jing asked.
"I implemented the ten-household protection law in Zhejiang, and not a single information about the protection of this village was reported; of course, what is even more unusual is that more than ten days ago, Douopu Village was celebrating his father's birthday and held a birthday banquet, and their family came
There are fifty or sixty relatives, and they are all strong laborers.
Moreover, the situation was so tight that I had never seen it before. Even after their 10,000th birthday, these relatives staying in the villagers’ houses did not leave and could not leave. Some villagers applied unnaturally, as if they were being controlled by others. All in all, I seriously doubted that Doupu Pu
It has been secretly controlled by the Japanese pirates."
Zhu Ping'an said slowly, telling Zhang Jing one by one about the abnormalities in Dou Dou Pu, reminding Zhang Jing that Dou Dou Pu was probably secretly controlled by Japanese pirates.
"Toupu Pu, right? I remember, I will send someone to deal with it." Zhang Jing nodded.
Hearing that Zhang Jing said he would deal with Dou Pu, Zhu Pingan felt relieved and said goodbye to Zhang Jing.
"Zi Hou, walk slowly." Zhang Jing sent Zhu Pingan outside the study.
"My Lord Governor, stay here." Zhu Ping'an said goodbye to Zhang Jing with his hands in hand, turned around and walked outside.
After Zhu Pingan's figure disappeared in the courtyard, another person walked out of the study, it was Li Tianchong, the former governor of Zhejiang.
"Zicheng, you have also heard that Zihou has accepted the mission. He will return to Shaoxing tomorrow and swear to leave for Ningbo." Zhang Jing turned around and said to Li Tianchong.
"Master Zhu takes the overall situation into consideration and has the courage to shoulder heavy responsibilities, which is admirable." Li Tianchong nodded and praised Zhu Pingan.
"It would have been better if Zihou had not worried about Zhao Wenhua ruining the war situation and had led the Zhejiang army to jointly participate in the battle to encircle Xu Hai and the Japanese pirates. Zihou knew the military affairs. It is a pity that the Zhejiang army faced the Japanese pirates and won one after another."
Zhang Jing said with emotion.
"Your Excellency, you don't have to feel guilty. You have to be responsible to the Holy One and to the people. Master Zhu will definitely understand. It's all Zhao Wenhua's fault and Party Yan's fault!" Li Tianchong consoled him.
Zhang Jing was still a little emotional.
Seeing this, Li Tianchong said again, "Sir, if you don't keep secrets from the emperor, you will lose your ministers; if you don't keep secrets from ministers, you will lose your virginity; if you keep a few things secret, it will cause harm. In order to suppress the overall situation of the Japanese, keeping secrets is the most important thing. Strict party and party relations
Japanese pirates are not
I don’t know, but if Zhao Wenhua learns about our deployment to suppress the Japanese, that means the Japanese pirates know about it! If we know our enemies and ourselves, we can fight a hundred battles. If the Japanese pirates learn about our deployment, then it’s no wonder that the battle to suppress the Japanese is successful."
After listening to Li Tianchong's words, Zhang Jing couldn't help but nodded, "Zicheng's words are reasonable and must be kept secret."
Then, Zhang Jing asked again, "Before I finished speaking, Zi Hou came and went on to say that those two people from the Yan Party colluded with the Japanese pirates. Has it been verified?"
"Sir, the two people named Wang and Zhang must have colluded with the Japanese pirates. They purchased 80 carts of healing medicinal materials in Yingtian City last month and shipped them out of the city in the morning. They were robbed by Japanese pirates outside the city at noon.
None of their people was injured, and all the medicinal materials were robbed by the Japanese pirates. This was a coincidence. Also, they bought more than 100 carts of food in the city last month, but it was also a coincidence that they were robbed by the Japanese pirates.
Got it!"
"Again and again, not again and again, but something happened the day before yesterday. Their manor was attacked by Japanese pirates, and all the property in the manor was looted. By coincidence, the man named Wang had hoarded it from the northwest.
More than a hundred good horses happened to be shoed in the manor, but they were all snatched away by the Japanese pirates."
"Also, the last time Lord Zhu Ping'an and Zhu burned down nearly a hundred warships of the Japanese pirates in the Suzhou defense battle, although the Tuolinzhi Japanese had recovered their strength in Jiaxing, they were still in urgent need of warships. You name it, coincidence or not.
The man surnamed Zhang bought thousands of dollars from Jiangnan
A few fir trees, pine trees, and hundreds of barrels of tung oil. I said I wanted to start a furniture business, but by chance, they were all snatched away by Japanese pirates. Oh, as we all know, fir and pine are commonly used in making ships. They are indispensable.
The auxiliary ingredient is tung oil.”
"There are many things like this. It's almost like what the Japanese pirates lack, they buy it; what they buy, the Japanese pirates grab! One shot is accurate! This can no longer be said to be a coincidence. They are simply the Japanese pirates' housekeepers! They are responsible for giving
The Japanese pirates bought the goods! If they don’t liaise with the Japanese pirates, who will liaise with the Japanese pirates!”
Li Tianchong stretched out his finger and cited a few examples of people with the surname Wang and Zhang, and said with determination, he was very sure that they were colluding with the Japanese pirates.
"Is there any evidence?" Zhang Jing asked.
"Evidence?" Li Tianchong was startled for a moment, then shook his head, and said with some regret, "They are very careful. Every time they do this kind of thing, they use either children of the same clan or children of their family, all of whom are confidants and mouthpieces.
It's very strict, and because I'm afraid of alerting others, I use a lot of tactics.
Duan cannot be used, and no confession has been obtained yet; as for physical evidence, we have not obtained it yet. Their home is patrolled very strictly, and our people have not been able to touch their bedroom and study several times during night visits. However, I believe that if we search the home
, we will definitely be able to find secret messages between them and the Japanese pirates."
Hearing this, Zhang Jing shook his head, "There is no evidence and no conviction, so how can we search their home? Behind them is the Strict Party, which has deep roots in Jiangnan. If we search their home without any evidence, how can they cooperate?! How can they just give up?
!Can you guarantee that by searching your home, you will be able to find secret messages and other evidence?
?! When we break in from the front, they only need to block it for a moment. No matter how many secret letters they have, they won’t be able to burn it! If they break in and no evidence is found, then the handle will be handed over to Party Yan, and they will definitely use it to their advantage.
