Seeing that Mrs. Washi was smiling at him, Shen Mo hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Student Shen Mo has seen Master Zongrong. ”

The old lady shook her head and said, "I'm not a general soldier, so I'll call the old lady Mrs. Wa." ”

Shen smiled and said: "I'm not an adult, the old lady is still called the following words." ”

Mrs. Washi looked at him for a while and said, "My lord is really different from other officials...... and then laughed and said: "The old lady has seen the Ming officials, all of them regard official authority more than anything else, and it is the first time I have seen someone like an adult who doesn't care." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said: "It's not that I don't care, it's just that in front of you, I'm really not qualified to pretend." ”

Mrs. Washi shook her head and smiled, then turned sideways and said, "Please go in and have tea." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "Seeing that your subordinates are packing up their things, I won't go in and make a mess." ”

Madame Watts nodded and said, "The old woman is going to war." ”

Shen Mo said softly: "I heard from the Lord of the Ministry that Mrs. Tai and your soldiers came all the way to Jiangnan, and after a few days of rest, they asked Ying to fight several times. ”

Mrs. Washi laughed loudly: "We are 7,000 Buzhuang, and we came here with dry food on our backs, not to go into battle to kill the enemy and establish meritorious deeds, not to live in this fairy palace and live a rich life." ”

Silent said in his heart that this is the gap in consciousness, why do I enjoy living here? He smiled embarrassedly: "Zhang Butang has already begun to deploy a decisive battle, and Mrs. Tai will not worry about fighting in the future." ”

Mrs. Watts nodded and said, "It's really time to fight, otherwise this heaven on earth will become eighteen layers of hell." The old lady spoke very straight, which made Shen Mo's face hot.

Fortunately, at this time, Ah Man changed into clean clothes and came out, hugged his grandmother's hand like a kitten and said, "Grandma, when will you come back?" "She didn't know what war was, she just thought that her grandmother was going out as usual.

Mrs. Washi caressed her head lovingly and said with a smile: "Ah Man stay here obediently, and Grandma will come to pick you up in a few days." She smiled at Shen Mo and said, "Ah Man has told me about the past two days, and adults can keep their promises to a child, and the old woman admires it very much." ”

He smiled silently: "Ah Man is very sensible, and I also like this child very much, please rest assured, Mrs. Tai, I will help take care of her." ”

Mrs. Washi said happily: "I am relieved of this." As he spoke, he patted Aman's little head and said, "You have to listen to the uncle, do you know?" ”

Ah Man nodded obediently and said softly: "Ah Man will be obedient." ”

Shen Mo said weakly in his heart: "It's good now, my uncle is sitting down." ’

After Mrs. Washi left, the atmosphere in the governor's office gradually became tense, and there was an endless stream of civil and military officials from all walks of life, and meetings were held one after another in the signing room.

Zhang Jing has never shied away from being silent about military secrets, and even notifies him in advance of major meetings. On the morning of the twelfth day of the lunar month, someone came to tell Shen Mo that the last pre-battle meeting was about to begin.

When he came to the front yard, he saw three steps and one post in the house, five steps and one sentry, and when he arrived outside the signing room, there were dense governor's personal soldiers, isolating all idle people and others from the five zhang, ensuring that the meeting inside was not overheard by anyone.

The silence, which usually walked unhindered, was also stopped by the pro-soldiers, until the captain of the pro-soldiers came over and said, "Lord Shen is a participant. Then he made way of the way, and when he passed, he closed it on the ground. Shen Mo wasn't nervous at all...... Because it's not him who fights...... But let this situation shock, and it was really heartbeat.

When he entered the signing room, he saw that the room was full of officials from Zhejiang, and he saw Tang Shunzhi, Tan Lun and other military prefects, as well as Lu Bo, Tang Kekuan, Yu Dayou and other leading generals, as well as Qi Jiguang, who was willing to accompany the last seat. In addition to the two bigwigs, Zhang Jing and Li Tianzhong, the main officials of the anti-Japanese war have all arrived.

Zhao Wenhua, the supervising army, and Hu Zongxian, the governor of the imperial history, were also among them.

All of you here have seen and talked to each other, and have a friendship with many people who have stood side by side in the city, and as soon as he entered, everyone nodded and smiled at him...... The signing house is an important place for military aircraft in a province, so naturally it cannot be as noisy as a vegetable market.

Shen silently clenched his fists at everyone, and under the guidance of the secretary of the house, he sat in a position that was extremely high, but not in the same column as the civil and military.

Soon after he sat down, he heard three drums, and the officials stood up, and someone shouted, "Your Excellency, the Governor." ”

Meet the Lord of the Ministry in a piece. In the midst of the mountain cry, Zhang Jing, the anti-Japanese governor in military uniform, turned out from behind the screen and sat down directly behind the big case in the hall. Along with him came out the governor of Zhejiang, Li Tianzhong, who sat down first on the left.

Zhang Jing's gaze slowly swept over the people present, especially Zhao Wenhua's face stayed for a long time, thinking that the hard work and grievances he had suffered in the past year were finally coming to light at this moment, the corners of Governor Zhang's eyes were a little moist. Zhang Jing took a deep breath and said, "Colleagues, please take a seat." ”

When everyone sat down, his loud voice continued to sound: "I am calling you today, and the purpose is self-evident. Now time is victory, and I tell you bluntly that after more than half a year of arrangement, the armies of all walks are ready and have arrived at the designated positions in batches. Under our retreat, the main force left the island and entrenched itself in Zhelin and Chuanshawa. ”

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Go to the map." ”

There were two scholars carrying a huge map of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and placed it behind the minister.

Zhang Jing got up and picked up a short bamboo stick, pointed to the two black dots on the easternmost side of the map and said: "This is the thief's nest of Zhelin and Chuanshawa, of which the Chuanshawa in the north is more than 15,000 people of the bandit chieftain Wang Zhi, and the south Tuolin is more than 10,000 people in Xu Hai, the two are only dozens of miles apart, guarding the horns, echoing each other from afar." ”

"Which one are you going to do first?" At this time, the one who dared to speak was none other than Zhao Wenhua.

Zhang Jing sneered: "Don't worry about the labor supervision army. This official will personally command the soldiers and horses of Jiaxing and Hangzhou, as well as the soldiers of Guangxi, and march into Songjiang to attack Wang Zhi. When Xu Hai and others heard that Jiahang's troops were transferred to Songjiang, they must have thought that Jiahang was empty, and they would definitely lead the army to break into Jiashan and take the opportunity to loot Jiahang. ”

Zhao Wenhua jumped up as soon as he heard it and said: "I said Lord Zhang, although the official has been forcing you very tightly, it is not for you to break the jar and provoke the two big widows at once." He also knew that the Japanese were powerful, and with the current strength of the Ming army, they couldn't deal with it at the same time.

"Don't get excited, listen to this official to break it down for you." Zhang Jing turned his face and no longer looked at the hateful face: "Although Wang Zhi and Xu Hai are both great widows, they are fundamentally different. Although Wang Zhi also robbed, he was a businessman at heart, and although Xu Hai was also a smuggler, he was an out-and-out robber. Therefore, Wang Zhi will take into account the army of his own officials and calculate the cost gains and losses. But Xu Hai won't, as soon as he sees the vacancy, he will definitely pounce on him like a hungry wolf. ”

Zhao Wenhua was still worried: "If Xu Hai doesn't attack Jiahang, but attacks Wang Zhi back and forth, won't the lord of the ministry want to steal chickens and rice?" ”

Zhang Jing sneered and said, "Impossible! Then he decomposed for him and said: "The relationship between these two bandit chiefs is quite delicate, Xu Hai's uncle Xu Qianxue used to be Wang Zhi's partner, and Xu Hai was brought into the industry by his uncle, so Wang Zhi has been treating Xu Hai with his juniors, and he often shouted: 'Little monk, little monk. The crowd laughed in a low voice...... But this is by no means a joke by Governor Zhang, but it is true, because before Xu Hai went to the sea, he used to be a monk who hit the bell in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, and his legal name was Pujing, also known as Mingshan Monk.

But Xu Hai is now also a prince with tens of thousands of people, and if he is called like this, even if he has a good temper, he will be annoyed, not to mention the 'General Pinghai of Tiancha Pinghai', who is short-tempered and has no one in his eyes? So Zhang Jing was very sure: "This official dares to assert that if Xu Hai is attacked, Wang Zhi is very likely to go to the rescue." But if Wang Zhi is attacked, Xu Hai will definitely gloat. ”

Zhao Wenhua sneered again: "Adults always say how powerful Xu Hai is, doesn't he even understand the truth of cold lips and teeth?" ”

"Won't this official lead the snake out of the hole?" Zhang Jing laughed and said: "Besides, Lord Zhao thinks that for half a year, this official has restrained his subordinates and forbade them to fight?" Saying that, the sword raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just showing weakness!" He used a bamboo stick to point at the two black spots, and his eyes glared: "The fact that the Japanese invaders dare to go ashore and entrench themselves shows that they have firmly believed that our army is afraid of the enemy and cowardly and has long stopped taking our army seriously." Months of grievances finally spit out today, Zhang Jing laughed very happily, and he didn't care about it.

After laughing, he stopped paying attention to Zhao Wenhua, and said with a shocked smile: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

The generals got up suddenly, only to hear the dispatch of the minister: "General Yu, this official ordered you to lead 5,000 soldiers from the headquarters and 2,000 Yongshun soldiers to march into Jiashan City." As he spoke, he glanced at the general, whom he didn't like very much, and said, "You have to pay attention to secrecy and enter the city at midnight." As soon as they arrived in the city, martial law was immediately imposed, and no news was allowed to leave the city. You are not allowed to expose your deeds when you pass through Jiashan. But if the pirates turn around and return to the east, they will immediately cut off their back road! Leave it behind at all costs. ”

Yu Dayou gave up his hand to receive the order, and asked loudly: "Dare to ask my lord, what if the widow didn't turn around?" ”

"We'll talk about that later." Zhang Jing said lightly, and glanced at his beloved general Lu Bo and said: "Shengyuan, you lead 2,000 Baojing native soldiers, and 5,000 soldiers and horses of the headquarters to set up an ambush at Shuangxi Bridge in the east of the city to block the enemy in Shitang Bay. ”

Zhang Jing said to Yu Dayou at this time: "If the Japanese return to the Japanese Kou, you still have to stop it at all costs." As he spoke, he handed them two arrows, and said in a deep voice: "The goal of the two of you is to drive the Japanese to the north, once the Japanese invaders escape to the north, this official will immediately lead the army back, and Tang Kekuan's naval army will be flanked left and right, and you will complete the encirclement, and strive to annihilate the enemy army in one battle!" ”
