Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, our Ming army has always been in a passive state. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info does not have the strength to go to the sea to take the initiative to attack the Japanese invaders, and we can only wait for the Japanese to come ashore before we can carry out encirclement and suppression. And ......"
Qi Jiguang's eyes showed a look of anger and said: "The officers and soldiers in the southeast have rotted to the roots, one by one they are afraid of fighting like tigers, and they don't dare to fight with those Japanese invaders at all. ”
Luo Xin smiled: "At least Brother Yuan Jing's soldiers are not like this. ”
"How's that?" Qi Jiguang said helplessly: "How many soldiers do I have?" ”
"Then use these soldiers on the blade."
Qi Jiguang frowned slightly and said, "How to use it on the blade?" ”
"Destroy the real widow first."
Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly: "Will it be so easy there?" As long as they don't come ashore, there's nothing we can do. ”
"I'll go ashore!" Luo Xin said firmly.
Qi Jiguang's heart moved, Luo Xin is known as the god of the Ming army, although he has always been dissatisfied with Luo Xin in his heart, but he also knows that Luo Xin is definitely not a person who talks on paper, so he excitedly bowed to Luo Xin and said:
"What's the trick on you?"
Luo Xin shook his head and smiled: "There is no clever plan, but now the situation has changed." ”
"Change? A change in the situation? ”
Qi Jiguang is a military genius, but his thinking is also limited to military aspects. He thought about it and thought about it, but he really couldn't think of any changes in the Japanese side now, so he looked at Luo Xin, and just wanted to speak, only to find that everyone had been standing for so long, and hurriedly said shyly:
"No, sit down."
Then he poured tea for Luo Xin and Luo Qing with his own hands, and then asked: "No, I don't know what the situation you are talking about?" ”
Luo Xin looked solemn and said, "Because I'm here." ”
"Oh......"
Qi Jiguang's heart 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped by, and the southeast has been erosive for decades, just because you came, the situation has changed?
Who do you think you are?
Even if you are the god of the Ming Dynasty, you don't have such pride, right?
As soon as you came, the situation in the southeast changed, and together with us, the soldiers in the southeast, we have always eaten dry food?
But......
The situation in the southeast is indeed getting more and more erosive, although Qi Jiguang is angry in his heart, but he has nothing to say, he only feels uncomfortable in his heart. There was embarrassment on his face, but when he saw Luo Xin's serious expression, he smiled and asked:
"Brother Yuan Jing, now that the junior brother is here, what do you think will happen to the situation in the southeast?"
"I ...... grass" Qi Jiguang's heart was another 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by: "This is too much, you can't be narcissistic yourself, and you still want me to flatter you?" ”
Taking a deep breath, Annai held back the anger in his heart. He knew that he couldn't offend Luo Xin, and Luo Xin's status as a civil official made him jealous, and his face showed a sneering color:
"No, you are the god of the Ming army, as soon as you arrive in the southeast, maybe you will be scared."
Luo Xin was stunned, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, no wonder Qi Jiguang had a bad reputation in the court, thinking that he could give Yan Song a gift in order to ask for military salary. He is also a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
It's just that Qi Jiguang's starting point is good, and this is also Qi Jiguang's burden of enduring humiliation in order to calm the widow!
At this moment, Luo Xin did not despise Qi Jiguang's smoothness, but admired Qi Jiguang even more. However, he still joked with a smile:
"Brother Yuan Jing, do you believe what you just said?"
"This ......" Qi Jiguang's face was even more embarrassed.
"I did defeat Huang Taiji in the north and pacified the northern grasslands. But who will pay attention to the north? And who will know about me? Scared to hear my name?
Well, even if they've heard of me, they won't be scared by my name, right? ”
"This ......"
Qi Jiguang's heart was a little confused, isn't this Luo Xin here to show off? Don't you want me to praise him? So what did he mean by that? couldn't help but look at Luo Xindao:
"No, what do you mean?"
Luo Xin smiled: "I've said it all, I'm here!" ”
At this time, Qi Jiguang also knew in his heart that Luo Xin was not boasting, and he must have other meanings, so he feigned anger and said:
"Still playing with my brother."
Luo Xin stopped laughing and said, "Brother Yuan Jing, don't you want to think about what I came to the southeast for?" ”
"Of course, I'm here to take charge of the city......
Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang's voice suddenly paused, and he frowned and thought about it. Qi Jiguang is not stupid but very smart, he just didn't think about it before, but now that he is reminded by Luo Xin, there is a flash of inspiration in his heart. Luo Xin saw that Qi Jiguang had an understanding, so he didn't say anything, and sat there drinking tea quietly.
About a quarter of an hour or so passed, Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked up at Luo Xindao:
"No, you're saying that as soon as the city is opened, those would-be pirates will give up being pirates and become maritime merchants?"
"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "But it's not those real widows, but those fake widows." The real widow has no capital, and those Japanese ronins only know how to rob, and they are squandering when they are robbed. And those fake widows like Wang Zhi are rich in wealth. And they don't want to be pirates, and if the court can give them an identity, they will immediately abandon their pirate status. ”
Qi Jiguang's eyes brightened: "In this way, the fake and the real are not the same heart, so it gives us the opportunity to divide and attack." ”
Luo Xin nodded and said: "Lord Ministries are negotiating peace with Wang Zhi, and they have already achieved certain results, presumably it won't be long before this effect will be reflected." At that time, it will be the time for Brother Yuan Jing to show his might. ”
"Great!" Qi Jiguang got up and walked back and forth excitedly.
"However, you can't think too pretty!" Luo Xin said seriously: "There is a lot of resistance in this matter. ”
"Resistance?" Qi Jiguang glared and said, "Who dares to stop Pingwei?" ”
"The family is strong, of course, some officials are not excluded!" Luo Xin said lightly: "They don't want to see the open sea, because once the city is in operation, they will have no room for smuggling, which will cut off their financial route." Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents. I've killed their parents, do you think they're going to kill me? ”
"This ......" Qi Jiguang said with a worried look on his face: "No, you have to be careful, tomorrow I will send two hundred elites back to the city with you." ”
Luo Xin's eyes narrowed slightly: "If you want to kill me, don't break their teeth." Don't let me catch them, otherwise I will kill them completely, regardless of his family and whether he is a member of the court. ”
At this moment, Luo Xin's body was full of murderous aura, which made Qi Jiguang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, feel a chill in his heart. Secretly said in my heart:
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the god of war across the grassland!"
At noon, Luo Xin had lunch in the barracks, and then returned to Hangzhou with the two hundred elite soldiers selected by Qi Jiguang. In this way, under Luo Xin's hands, there were 500 elite soldiers. One hundred of them were brought by Luo Xin from the capital, two hundred were sent by Luo Qing, and two hundred were sent by Qi Jiguang.
Finally arrived at the day of the opening of the city.
In fact, all the officials of the city department have been allocated, but they have not officially opened their offices these days. And Luo Xin didn't officially meet with his officials, let alone arrange any tasks, just let them clean up, and then herd the sheep. And Luo Xin doesn't see a shadow every day, and no one knows where Luo Xin is or what he is doing.
Therefore, today can be seen as Luo Xin's first day in office.
Luo Xin is so mysterious, which really makes the officials of the city department nervous, and they all go around to inquire about Luo Xin's personality, Luo Xin's preferences, and Luo Xin's temper.
At this time, Luo Xin had not yet come to the lobby, but the officials of the City Department were already sitting on both sides of the hall, waiting for Luo Xin. One by one, they whispered in the lobby.
"I heard that Lord Luo is a martial artist, and his temper is very violent, and our life will be miserable in the future."
"Yes, when the city was restored, no officials were willing to come at all, only those of us who had no background and no connections were squeezed here."
"You can't say that, Lord Luo, he's not a martial artist, but a champion body."
"This is not bad, not only the champion, but also the great Confucian. But so what? It won't be long before the city is open. ”
"Why?"
"It's not like I haven't opened the sea before, but isn't the city department finally closed? You know why? ”
"Why?"
The man lowered his voice and said, "It's not that the City Division has violated the interests of the Haoqiang family!" ”
"Be careful!"
"Didn't I tell anyone else? Isn't this trusting you, brother? ”
“…………”
Footsteps sounded outside the door, Luo Xin's figure appeared outside the door, and the officials in the lobby stood up together and bowed to Luo Xin:
"Meet the Tongzhi-sama."
"Everyone, please get up!"
Luo Xin said as he sat down in front of the chair in the middle of the head, and then said to everyone:
"Let's sit down, everybody."
Everyone sat down, Luo Xin glanced around, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone must know my origin, but I am not very familiar with everyone here." Tell us about yourself. ”
There are more than a dozen officials in the room, and the yamen of the city department is not small, so the officials are very well equipped. After each official introduced himself, Luo Xin nodded with a smile:
"Except for me, everyone hasn't been in the southeast for a year or two, and I think everyone must be very familiar with the southeast."
Everyone nodded, in fact, they may not be very familiar with the southeast. But I don't dare to say that I am not familiar with it, otherwise would you be an official in vain? After so many years, you are not even familiar with your surroundings?
Luo Xin saw everyone nodding, and said with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Your Majesty sent me this time to prepare to reopen the city. However, I see everyone's expressions, it seems that they don't want to come to the city? ”
Sitting on the left side of Luo Xin, the first one is the Liupintong Judgment New Year, this time he came to the City Ship Division, and also promoted a level, this is because no one wants to come, everyone thinks that the City Ship Division will be closed in a few months, and the sea will not be opened in the Zhengde years before? But then it wasn't also closed?
Sometimes, the imperial power may not be able to fight the family.
In this era when the royal family and scholars ruled the world together, the imperial power was really restricted, and even the Jiajing Emperor, who was an autocratic cadre, was sometimes unable to realize the ideals in his heart.
Therefore, even people with a little background are reluctant to come to the city, because before they came to the city, although the grade is not as good as now, there is always a place in the officialdom. Now that they have come to the City Shipping Division, although the grade has been upgraded, but a few months later, the Municipal Shipping Division has been closed, and they have become idle people and have no place. Because the position they left had already been occupied by someone else, an official who had no position, was that still an official?
Therefore, the New Year came with full reluctance, not only him, but also these officials in the lobby came reluctantly, and now when they heard Luo Xin ask straight to the point, all of them showed embarrassment on their faces, and at the same time they were also worried in their hearts, I wonder if Luo Xin will be angry with them because of this?
Luo Xin smiled faintly and said: "But I think that you can come to the city, but it is the most correct choice in your life, maybe this step you take is the foundation for such a step-by-step ascension." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was a vague disdain on their faces. They knew that Luo Xin wanted to mobilize them, to cheer them up, to cheer them up, so that the city could operate normally.
But......
These people are all old oilmen in officialdom, can you make their blood boil with a few words? You're underestimating us, too.
"I know what's going on in your mind at this point." Luo Xin still smiled and said: "You are thinking, Lord Luo, don't fool us, although we are some people with no background, but we are not stupid!" ”
Everyone looked stunned, they didn't expect Luo Xin to say it so bluntly, and they couldn't help but laugh a little. But the spirit is a lot more focused, and his eyes are also fixed on Luo Xin, wanting to hear what Luo Xin will say/
"You all think that the city will not be open for long, I won't say the specific reason, I think everyone knows it very well. Do you think that during the Zhengde period, the market was also opened, and then it was also closed? How can you believe in what virtues? Will you be able to keep the city open? ”
At this moment, everyone was completely focused, and if it was said to be five points of concentration just now, it was very focused at this time. Because Luo Xin spoke to their hearts, this is the problem they are worried about, or this is the problem that they are desperate for.
"Okay, let's put that aside for a moment, and I'll talk about you."
Everyone's hearts were full of joy, and they secretly said in their hearts, could it be that their faint disdain just now was discovered by Luo Xin? He's ready to start banging himself?
"I haven't gotten to know you, nor have I gotten to know about the officialdom in the southeast, but I saw your looks just now and knew that none of you were willing to come here, I'm not wrong, right?"
