Tagawa Nanazaemon came to Fuzhou, and only four days later, in Nanjing, more than a dozen soldiers rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

"What man, stop!"

The official in front of the door saw a group of ragged people coming to the gate of the yamen, and thought it was a troublemaker, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and shouted.

"Quick, hurry up and get out of the way of Lao Tzu, I want to see Lao Cha! Hurry up! ”

The officials in front of the door were shocked when they heard this, and now the head of the military department is Lord Cha Shu, who is in a high position, and the person who dares to call him Lao Cha is definitely the first old brother to follow the emperor to fight the country together!

"You, you are...... Who is it? ”

The official asked suspiciously.

The leader has no hat now, he has a scruffy beard, and he is not very old, but his thin face and sunken eye sockets are definitely a long-distance trip to Nanjing, don't be what happened to the front line, right?

"Bastard! Lao Tzu is Xu Peiming, hurry up and report to Lao Tzu, 100,000 urgent! Delay the important affairs of the militarism, Lao Tzu plucks your head! ”

The officials were frightened, Lord Xu Peiming? Of course I know, this is the general of the firearms battalion on the same level as Lord Zhao Zhenghang, but he has been on a business trip to Nanyang for most of the year, why did he come back like this? Isn't that too miserable?

"Yes, yes, the little one will pass it on!"

The officials did not dare to slack off, beckoned others to bring everyone into the front of the military department, and ran towards the back office.

"Ministry-sama, ministry-sama!"

The official stumbled all the way in.

Cha Zhu suddenly raised his head and shouted, "What's the matter, so panicked? ”

"Lord Qiqi Ministry, this, General Xu Peiming has come to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and he asks to see you immediately, he has a group of people, in rags, I am afraid that it is nothing but things......"

Cha Xuan's heart suddenly flipped over, Xu Peiming is back? He went to Nanyang in accordance with the emperor's will, from the procurement of ships, to the procurement of firearms and ammunition, he was in charge, at this time it was time to escort the arms back to Beijing, but these people appeared in rags in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, it was definitely a problem, and it was a big thing!

"And what are you doing here? Hurry up and get someone to the back! ”

Cha Shou shouted.

The official hurriedly turned around and ran outside, but there was no need to invite him, Xu Peiming couldn't wait at all, and directly broke into the back office of the military department!

"Lao Cha, Lao Cha! Brother, I'm in trouble! ”

Xu Peiming's eyes were red, and his words were already unfavorable.

Cha Xuan shouted: "Pei Ming, didn't you go to Nanyang to purchase arms?" How did it come to be like this? What the hell is going on? Come on, hurry up and bring clear water to General Xu! ”

"Lao Cha ......"

Xu Peiming was already crying - "I should be damned, the emperor handed over such an important matter to me, and it went wrong halfway, and almost all the arms were intercepted by pirates on the south side ......of Taiwan Island."

Airplanes......

Cha Bolt felt that it was dark in front of him, and all the arms were robbed! This is a guy waiting for the imperial court to save his life, and the 50,000 Beijing battalion is waiting for this batch of arms to be equipped! All of a sudden, what should Jingying do? What about the emperor's strategy? This is terrible!

"Y-Why are you so careless, don't you know the importance of these arms? Damn it! Damn it! ”

Cha Zhu grabbed Xu Peiming's collar and yelled.

Xu Peiming cried: "I know, but that group of pirates is too powerful, there are more than ten warships alone, with artillery, hundreds of people, our fleet is all merchant ships, only a hundred soldiers to protect, there is no way to compete with other people's warships at sea, after a battle, all the big ships were robbed, only twenty or thirty of us, driving three small boats from the fierce battle, withdrew, on the vast sea, isolated, no way to the sky, no way to enter the ground, what can I do?" The dragon banner of the Ming court can't scare these pirates......"

"You! You! What are you going to do now? How do you deal with the emperor? ”

Cha Zhu is angry and distressed, they are all old brothers for many years, friends of life and death, Xu Peiming has such a big fork, I am afraid that the emperor will be there and it will be difficult to explain......"

"What to do? What can I do? Explain everything clearly, I will go to jump into the river, jump directly into the Yangtze River for a hundred years, anyway, I don't have the face to see the emperor ......"

Xu Peiming said astringently.

"Fart! You got the trouble of the dog's day, and you went to solve it yourself, jumping into the river? You think about beauty, when did Tianwei Army come out with a coward like you? Grow one! ”

Cha Zhu scolded angrily, "If you have the backbone, you will snatch back all the lost arms with Lao Tzu!" That's what a well-known man! ”

"Grab it back? Do you think I don't want to? Where to rob it, the vast sea frontier, thousands of miles around, there is almost no island, who knows where this group of pirates came from? I just want to lead the army to recruit and suppress, and I have to know where the people are, right? If I knew where they were hiding and what kind of force they were, I didn't need you to ask the emperor for his life, kill them and bury them alive one by one! ”

Xu Peiming shouted.

"Okay, don't talk so much, immediately follow me into the palace to face the saint, the emperor is still waiting for news!"

Cha Shu's face was full of helplessness, but he didn't know what to do next, without this batch of munitions, the next battle would be even more difficult......

"Someone, immediately go to Jingying to spread the word, tell Zhao Zhenghang to rush to the noon gate, I will wait for him there, go quickly!"

Cha Zhu took Xu Peiming with him, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he rushed directly to the noon gate.

came to the noon gate, and it didn't take long for Zhao Zhenghang to hear the news and rushed to ask for an audience together!

Zhao Zhenghang is even more aggrieved, this batch of munitions is going to arm his Beijing camp, now it's all in vain, what's even more pitiful is his brother, two people are in charge of the firearms battalion, one palm musket, one palm artillery, can be called the best partner, now the brother is in big trouble, I wanted to complain two sentences, look at Xu Peiming's lost soul now, all the words can't be said, I had to slap Xu Peiming on the shoulder twice, to show comfort, brother, if there is anything, they are all carried together, This is the brethren!

Zhu Jie was working on the music in the Qianqing Palace, and Liu Sili hurriedly ran in!

"Long live Qizuo, the military department is still in the book, and Zhao Zhenghang and Xu Peiming have asked to meet ......."

"Oh?"

Zhu Jie didn't look up, and replied, "Announce them in......"

"This ......"

Liu Sili hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it seems that something has changed, Lord Xu Peiming is disheveled, and the other two adults are also gloomy......"

Zhu Jie's heart suddenly shook, and shouted: "Quick, immediately announce them into the palace!" ”
