The atmosphere was solemn, no one spoke, Hu Zongxian swept his gaze over everyone in turn, and finally landed on Ruan Zhuo's body and said:

"Lord Ruan, what do you think of this invasion of the Japanese invaders?"

"Lord Ministry, with all due respect, our Daming Navy is no longer good, although in the past two years, the Lord has been rebuilding the Navy Army, but it is still unbearable. So we have been passive defense against the Japanese pirates, and if they don't go ashore, we have no choice. What is rare this time is that Xu Hai dared to lead tens of thousands of people ashore, which gave us an excellent opportunity to annihilate them, and we should send troops. ”

Hu Zongxian looked at the other generals, but no one spoke. Hu Zongxian sighed and said:

"Lord Ruan, have you ever thought about the consequences of our sending troops?"

"Whatever the consequences, we must fight the Wokos. Your Majesty spends countless amounts of silver every year to support the Southeastern Army, for what? Isn't it just to annihilate the Japanese invaders? Now that the Japanese have landed, if we don't fight, how can we face Your Majesty? Why do you face the people of the southeast? ”

Hu Zongxian was silent for a while and said, "Lord Ruan, this landing of the Japanese can be said to be the largest one. And they didn't divide into countless shares as soon as they came ashore, as usual, or they were originally countless bandits, burning and looting everywhere. This time, however, they were all in one place, and it was clear that there was a conspiracy. ”

Ruan Juan looked at Hu Zongxian and said slowly: "Lord Ministry, are you afraid of war?" ”

Hu Zongxian's face changed, and the expressions on the faces of the generals in the hall also changed. Hu Zongxian's face sank like water, and he shouted in a low voice:

"Ruan Xuan, you are presumptuous."

Hu Zongxian is now a lord of the ministry, commanding the southeast, and once the momentum on his body explodes, it will oppress people's hearts. If this had been replaced by an ordinary official, I am afraid that his face would have trembled and his face would have turned pale. But Ruan Yu is a resolute and bold man, and his fame is that when the Japanese besieged Hangzhou, tens of thousands of villagers around Hangzhou flocked to Hangzhou, wanting to take refuge in Hangzhou. However, at that time, the prefect of Hangzhou was greedy for life and feared death, so that the lives of the people were disregarded, for fear that the Japanese would lurk among the refugees and blend into the city, and ordered that the city gate should not be opened, and at this time, the Japanese were not far from Hangzhou. At this time, Ruan Juan stood up, ordered the city gate to be opened with a long sword, welcomed tens of thousands of people into Hangzhou, and personally led the soldiers in the city out of the city to attack the Japanese who came to the city, won a great victory, and was named the governor by Emperor Jiajing.

How could such a person be afraid of Hu Zongxian? Moreover, he was very disgusted that after Hu Zongxian took office, he had been wooing Wang Zhi with a gentle policy, and did not dare to face the war with the Japanese invaders. In his opinion, it will be the courage of the army, and you don't want to kill all those Japanese criminals, but only want to recruit security through diplomatic means, is this what the literati do?

Ruan Xuan is also very clear about Hu Zongxian's great achievement of killing tens of thousands of Japanese robbers from Luo Xin. So he despised Hu Zongxian even more in his heart, but no matter how much he despised Hu Zongxian in his heart, his head still clearly knew that no one in Daming was more suitable for the leadership position of resisting the Japanese than Hu Zongxian. Therefore, he did not expose Hu Zongxian's meritorious work.

It's just that today he couldn't bear it anymore, Xu Hai led tens of thousands of Japanese robbers to burn and loot in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but Hu Zongxian was slow to send troops.

Isn't this war-fearing?

Therefore, when Hu Zongxian reprimanded Ruan Ju for being presumptuous, Ruan Juan did not have the slightest fear, but said proudly:

"Then why don't you fight?"

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly and said: "The topography of the soap forest is like a pocket, if there are fewer people to go, we will take the initiative to get into the pocket, and when the time comes, the pocket will be pierced by the Japanese Kou, and none of us will want to live." ”

"But the soap forest is a dangerous place, once we can't eliminate the Japanese bandits, or block the soap forest, the Japanese will go straight to Hangzhou, and Hangzhou will be besieged again. The city is besieged, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

All the generals were in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at Hu Zongxian, and only the old god Qi Jiguang was here. If this was in the past, I'm afraid he would have asked Hu Zongxian for war a long time ago. However, now he is doing very steadily. Because he had already decided to follow Luo Xin. Therefore, he now has to obtain Luo Xin's consent in his actions, and others can't say anything, because his kind of army was originally transferred to Luo Xin by order of Emperor Jiajing, and it was directly led by Luo Xin, that is, Hu Zongxian wanted Qi Jiguang to participate in a certain action, and he also had to obtain Luo Xin's consent, otherwise he would not have the right to mobilize Qi Jiguang.

However, the last time Hu Zongxian attacked Lang'er Island, he didn't greet Luo Xin at all, so he directly recruited Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang didn't ask Luo Xin's consent, so he directly set up camp and went to Hu Zongxian to report.

There are only two reasons here, one is that Hu Zongxian was originally a person with a strong desire to control. Moreover, he has been operating in the southeast for a long time, and he has military power. In his consciousness, the entire southeast belongs to him, and others have no right to mobilize his army. Even if Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing are handed over to Luo Xin, it is still borrowed, just lent to Luo Xin, as long as he Hu Zongxian needs it, he can be requisitioned back at any time, and there is no need to inform Luo Xin at all. And Qi Jiguang at that time didn't see the power of Luo Xin, so Hu Zongxian left with one move. I didn't take Luo Xin seriously at all.

And Luo Qing is also an honest person, he also thinks about winning the battle, and thinks that Hangzhou will be fine, and he also followed Hu Zongxian to Lang'er Island.

But now it's different.

Ever since he saw that Luo Xin had long predicted that Lang'er Island was a conspiracy, and after killing tens of thousands of Japanese robbers in the Qiantang River, he realized that Luo Xin was a real god of war, and he did not adapt to the water and soil from the north to the south. It's okay to fight the steppe tartars, and there's no problem in fighting the southeast pirates. It is much better to follow Luo Xin than to follow Hu Zongxian.

Just imagine, if he didn't go to Wolf Island with Hu Zongxian last time, but stayed by Luo Xin's side, although the credit would have to be given to Hu Zongxian, he would definitely be able to get a lot of credit, so he was very strange at this time, Luo Xin knew about the current situation, whether he would send troops. If you send troops, how? Then he thought about how he would decide when he faced this situation, completely forgetting Hu Zongxian and Ruan Xuan in front of him.

At this time, Hu Zongxian sighed and said: "I have never ordered to send troops, precisely because I consider Hangzhou and other capital cities. This time, it was not only Xu Hai who came ashore, Xu Hai was only the largest group among them. On the left flank of Xu Hai is Ye Ma, and on the right flank is Xin Goro, and the three forces are at their peak. ”

Hu Zongxian pointed to the map in front of him as he spoke, and when the generals saw it, as expected, they couldn't help frowning slightly and thinking about it. Ruan Ju also fell silent, seeing that everyone was silent, Hu Zongxian breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"Now Xu Hai's side completely occupies the initiative, if there are fewer people to go, there is a pocket, they will wrap us in it and annihilate them all. If we pour out of the nest, they will suddenly divide their forces to attack Hangzhou. ”

There was silence in the hall, Ruan Xuan twisted his brows and thought, he also felt in his heart that Hu Zongxian was reasonable, but he couldn't just watch the Japanese go rampant and not be able to shrink, right? So what do you want them to do?

"What do you mean?

Hu Zongxian sighed and said: "To deal with the Japanese who came ashore this time, we will definitely not be able to send a part of the army, that is, to send them to death." If you want to fight, you have to come out of the nest. So we only have two ways to go. One way is to pour out of the nest, and the other way is not to go out of the city and stick to Suzhou and Hangzhou. First try to protect the city without loss, and then slowly draw it.

The generals are silent, although there are only two paths, but it is so difficult to choose. If you choose to stick to Suzhou and Hangzhou, then you can only watch the entire southeast being ravaged by the Japanese invaders. chooses to pour out of the nest, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are likely to be captured by the Japanese invaders, resulting in the tragedy of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In fact, the generals already knew the choice in Hu Zongxian's heart. As the governor of the southeast, the Japanese only burned and looted in the villages and counties, and the impact was not great, but once Suzhou and Hangzhou were looted, the impact was too great. Although Hu Zongxian did not say it, everyone also understood that Hu Zongxian would definitely choose to stick to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

"Then the lord means to stick to Suzhou and Hangzhou?" Ruan asked bitterly.

Hu Zongxian's face also showed a look of difficulty and said: "There is no way to ...... this."

Ruan stood up and said, "My lord, you give me the army, and I will take them to fight the Japanese outside the city. ”

"No way!"

"Lord Ministry, I only want an army, plus my Zhejiang soldiers, I only fight with the Japanese ......"

"Lord Ruan." Hu Zongxian unceremoniously interrupted Ruan Ju's words and said, "Without my order, the Zhejiang soldiers will not allow you to move. ”

"Lord Ministry, you can't stop me, and the Zhejiang soldiers only listen to me."

"Just by your Zhejiang soldiers? They are the melons that have been cut, and when they are pulled out, they are sent to death. Hu Zongxian said sarcastically.

"That's why I asked my lord for a soldier."

Hu Zongxian asked with interest: "Do you want that army?" ”

"Please lend me General Qi's 3,000 men and horses for the time being."

"Qi Jiguang?"

Hu Zongxian looked at Qi Jiguang, and the eyes of all the generals couldn't help but look at him. Qi Jiguang was still thinking about it at this time, and suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he couldn't help but look at it in amazement, not knowing why.

Seeing Qi Jiguang's expression, where did Hu Zongxian and Ruan Ju not know in their hearts that Qi Jiguang had slipped away? His face couldn't help but darken, but Qi Jiguang's ability to fight well has emerged in recent years, and Ruan Juan wanted to win Qi Jiguang's support, so he couldn't let Hu Zongxian speak first, so he hurriedly said:

"General Qi, would you like to go out of the city with me to fight the Japanese Kou?"

"Ruan Xuan, you are presumptuous!" Hu Zongxian was furious.

"You can play with me, but General Qi and I'm going to decide." Ruan Ju is righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Hmph, if I don't give an order, who would dare to go with you?"

"General Qi......"

Ruan Ju looked at Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang shook his head, Hu Zongxian's spirit was lifted, but Ruan Juan was dark, and he flicked his robe sleeves and said:

"A bunch of cowards."

After the words fell, he strode away. Looking at Ruan Zhuo's departing back, Hu Zongxian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at Qi Jiguang and said:

"Yuan Jing, you immediately go back and transfer the army into Hangzhou City, don't leave lightly."

Qi Jiguang was happy in his heart, just don't let him leave Hangzhou City, and immediately agreed and left the Governor's Palace.

Hangzhou.

City Division.

In the second hall, Luo Xin and Song Danian sat opposite each other. Luo Xin's expression was calm, but Song Danian was anxious between his eyebrows. He had said good things countless times, but Luo Xin was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and Song Danian finally sighed in his heart and said:

"No, as long as you help me this time, you and I will tide over the difficulties together......"

"My lord, I have a lot of things in my heart, and I really don't have the energy to spare ......"

"No, you help me get through this difficulty, and in the future, I will not only fully support your city, but also listen to you for all matters in Hangzhou."

"My lord is joking!" Luo Xin personally poured tea for Song Danian, and said with a affectionate smile on his face:

"Although Your Majesty has limited the scope of my authority and responsibility in Hangzhou, but your lordship is my superior, and now your lord is being bullied by the six great families, and you can't watch from the side, I have helped with this."

Song Danian grinded his teeth, but under the eaves, how dare he not bow his head? But my heart was full of shame and anger. This matter is clearly that the six great families are targeting Luo Xin, and he Song Danian is just a person who watches the excitement, but he didn't expect that this person who watched the excitement was killed. Now Hyde personally came to the door to ask for Luo Xin.

However, he has no choice, if he can ask the six great families to stop, he will not come to ask Luo Xin, and now he only has the only way to ask Luo Xin. Immediately, An Nai put down the shame and anger in his heart, and arched his hand towards Luo Xin and said:

"Thank you!" Then he asked impatiently, "No, what can you do?" Now the situation in Hangzhou is on the verge of collapse. Whether it is the mechanic making trouble, or the people making trouble because of the price, it will cause trouble in another aspect, and then it will be two big messes, and they will be one big mess. ”

Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "My lord, let me think about it tonight, I will visit you in person tomorrow, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the house."

Sending Song Danian away, Luo Xin hadn't returned to the second hall yet, when he saw Lu Daqing leading Qi Jiguang in a hurry.

"No!"

"Yuan Jing!" Luo Xin said with some joy: "I was about to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come." ”

"No, you're looking for me?" The two of them came to Luo Xin's study and sat down, and Qi Jiguang asked.

"I'm not in a hurry yet." Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "You are in such a hurry, there must be something urgent, you say it first." ”

"Good!" Qi Jiguang was also not polite: "The Japanese are calling." ”

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded.

Luo Xin's dart game has now traveled all over the southeast, and Luo Xin naturally knows that the Japanese have logged in. Qi Jiguang saw Luo Xin's calm expression, and couldn't help asking:

"You know?"
