With a "bang", a fine porcelain cup was thrown to the ground, shattered and splintered everywhere.
"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish!" Chongzhen shouted angrily, "Shen Youlong's guy is not as good as Zou Weilian, who was dismissed." Zou Weilian beat away the red-haired ones in office, but Shen Youlong was helpless in the face of a few red-haired warships, and sent a letter of help to me! Everything has to be done by me, so what's the use of him as governor? ā
Seeing that the emperor was furious, Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Long live the anger, don't be angry with the dragon body." ā
Chongzhen turned a deaf ear, continued to pull out another notebook, and slammed it on the ground.
"The house leak happened to rain overnight, God, isn't it bad enough to be unlucky? The widows, who have been extinct for many years, have actually appeared in Taizhou, Zhejiang! Officials from top to bottom in Zhejiang are all waste, making one or two thousand people feel like no one is in a no-man's land. ā
Wang Chengen didn't dare to say it, but he muttered in his heart: That's long live Lord, you didn't see that during the Jiajing period, dozens of would-be robbers dared to attack the county seat! One or two thousand people can almost walk sideways in Jiangnan, where the armament is relaxed.
After Chongzhen lost his temper, he calmed down. He knew that losing his temper couldn't solve the problem, so he thought about it and ordered: "Go, call Wen Changqing and Zhang Boqi." ā
Zhang Boqi is Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the word Boqi, and the number is weak. Not long after, Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi hurried over, and were a little surprised to see a mess on the ground.
Chongzhen threw the Fujian request for help to Zhang Fengyi, and asked coldly: "Hongmao blocked the port, and the board was not allowed to go to sea, and the governor of Fujian, Shen Youlong, urgently asked for help for 800 miles, and asked me to send troops, what is the opinion of the Ministry of War?" ā
When Zhang Fengyi heard this, one head became two heads. Now there are Tartars in the north to enter the customs, and it is necessary to draw troops from all over the country to rush to Xuanfu and Datong to resist, and the rogues in the west are making waves again, but they are suffering from the concentration of troops in the north and cannot be transferred. At this moment, he suddenly had to send troops to Fujian, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, what could Zhang Fengyi do?
However, the emperor's words could not be answered, he pondered for a while, and could not think of a way to deal with it, so he could only say helplessly: "At present, there are no troops to send, so we can only organize a rebellion on the spot from Fujian." The red hair is just a strong ship, and the land battle is not satisfactory......"
Chongzhen sneered: "This is the opinion of the Ministry of War?" He pointed to the book that had fallen to the ground, "Look at this book again." ā
Zhang Fengyi inexplicably picked up the book on the ground, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly his face was pale and sweat was like rain.
If the Hongmao warships are blockading the port, it will not have a direct impact on the local government, and the "Longqing switch" is limited to one place in Yueguan, seriously speaking, the rest of the ports still have to implement the maritime ban policy, and theoretically the complaints of local maritime merchants and people can be ignored. But the sudden reappearance of the Japanese in Zhejiang will kill people.
The Japanese invaders appeared from the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and the development reached its peak during the Jiajing and Wanli periods, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At that time, Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang recruited and trained troops in Zhejiang fought for several years before they completely wiped out the Japanese invaders.
He replied with a sad face: "Your Majesty, there is wolf smoke everywhere, and there is nowhere to adjust the ministers if they want to transfer troops!" The Tartars had to be guarded against entering the customs, not only could the border troops not be deployed, but also troops had to be sent from the rest of the country to help; When the rogues make a comeback, they must also take precautions and send a large army to encircle and suppress again. Now, where did the soldiers go to Fujian and Zhejiang? ā
Chongzhen said coldly: "You mean to say: let the Japanese rob burn and loot, and wait for them to rob enough and return with a full load?" The red hair also went with him, and when the supplies were insufficient, he would return to the South Seas? ā
Zhang Fengyi didn't dare to answer, but thought in his heart: That's almost it! No matter how powerful the red hair is, he can't go ashore to attack the city and plunder the land. It's inexplicable, but it's been extinct for many years, so maybe it's just a flash in the pan this time.
Chongzhen turned around and picked up the paperweight on the desk and threw it at Zhang Fengyi, flew past his ear, almost smashed the head of the military secretary, and shouted angrily: "One by one, you have no idea, there is no way at all, what use do I want you courtiers?" Shen Youlong is like this, and so is you Zhang Boqi! If it's the Tartars and the Liukou, it's fine, but let the red-haired boats show off their power in Fujian, and let a group of Japanese people wreak havoc in the heart of the south of the Yangtze River, and I will have no one in the Ming Dynasty? ā
Zhang Fengyi's face turned pale, and he kowtowed on the ground again and again, begging: "Your Majesty is angry, Rong Chen thinks about it again......"
Wen Tiren waited for Chongzhen to calm down a little, and then said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it's not that no one is available, there is a ready-made candidate in the south......"
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "You mean, Qiongzhou Xia Nan?" ā
"That's the man." Wen Tiren explained, "According to the former Fujian governor Zou Weilian last year, when the Fujian guerrilla Zheng Zhilong fought the red hair, Xia Nan sent a naval division to participate in the water war, and made great contributions, plus this time Shandong's total annihilation of the rebel fleet, it is enough to prove the strength of its naval division, and it should not be a problem to expel the red hair." His land division is superior to firearms, and can defeat the rebel cavalry head-on, and it should be no problem to deal with the Japanese - Qi Jiguang leveled the Japanese invaders back then, and he also had a lot of experience in using firearms, and the two have the same effect. ā
In fact, Qi Jiguang's large-scale use of firearms was after he became the chief military officer of Jizhen, and in order to resist the Tatar cavalry, he created a vehicle formation of firearms and vans. During the resistance against the Japanese in the south, the proportion of cold weapons in the army was higher, and the repeated defeats of the Japanese relied on the flexible and mobile "Mandarin Duck Formation", there were not too many birds, and the artillery only had small-caliber tiger squat guns. After all, Wen Tiren is just a civil official who plays with power, and he doesn't know the details, but this oolong does not affect the overall situation, and if firearms are used properly, they can defeat the Tatar cavalry and defeat the Japanese invaders.
Chongzhen was moved when he heard this. Qi Jiguang is the leading famous general in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the southern expedition to the Japanese, the northern imperial Tatars, outstanding military achievements, if someone in this dynasty can be compared with it, Chongzhen will wake up with a smile in his dreams. Wen Tiren compared Xia Nan with Qi Jiguang, it sounded quite like that, at the moment, the war in the northern border towns was tight, and no one was available, so you might as well try this southern general who is good at firearms.
He muttered, "Changqing is right. It's just that Fujian and Zhejiang are in a hurry, I'm afraid that this summer, the south will be lacking in skills, right? ā
Wen Tiren thought for a while: "To expel the red hair, only the water division is needed, and to deal with the Japanese only need the land division, it stands to reason that troops can be sent at the same time." However, to be on the safe side, let him do it cheaply. If it is not a priority, the minister suggested that the troops should be sent to Taizhou first, after all, the red-haired sailor is only a disease of ringworm and scabies, and the Japanese are a big problem. ā
