Chapter 1660 Japanese plague intensifies

Sunshine rode fast, whipping all the way, and arrived in front of the Si Yamen, the procurator for punishment in Yingtian City in more than an hour.

"My lord, you are back."

Several guards on duty in front of the yamen saw Zhu Ping'an and his party from a distance, so they trotted forward to greet them. Liu Dadao and others also received special preferential treatment for the service of leading the horse and the saddle.

Now Zhu Ping'an is the deputy envoy of the Zhejiang Prosecutor's Department. It is only a matter of time before the word "Dai" is removed. His status is different from the past. His status in the yamen is only second to that of the procurator. He belongs to the highest leadership of the yamen. The yamen guards are naturally enthusiastic. Ingratiate.

This is human nature.

Zhu Ping'an is not used to it, but he understands it.

As in previous times, Zhu Ping'an first visited Zhang Nietai, and then went to the two deputy envoys to have a face-to-face meeting.

Then, Chu Xiong, Zhang Chufeng and others came to pay their respects. Feudal society was strictly hierarchical, and it was an official rule for lower officials to meet with upper officials.

Chu Xiong was still affectionate as usual, but a little more respectful, while Zhang Chufeng felt a little guilty.

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an treated him as usual without any obvious hostility, Zhang Chufeng was relieved.

In the past, I took refuge in the strict party and had confidence in myself. I regarded Zhu Pingan as a thorn in my side and a thorn in my flesh. Secretly colluding with Zhang Han, the head of Yingtian Military Department, and Liu Qing, the governor of Yingtian Metropolitan Procuratorate, to impeach Zhu Pingan for ignorance of military affairs, spreading rumors, grandstanding, disrupting the morale of the army and the people, and destroying Yingyao's stability. Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan's words became a prophecy, and the Japanese pirates really attacked Yingtian. They were all relegated to Dangzhi County, a barren place in Guangxi.

Fortunately, when I colluded with Zhang Han and Liu Qing to impeach Zhu Pingan, I considered that Zhu Pingan and Zhu Pingan were both members of the Procuratorate of Zhejiang Province. , so there was no name or joint impeachment, which escaped disaster, and spent a large sum of money to seal the mouths of Zhang Han and Liu Qing, so that they were not exposed.

Otherwise, if Zhu Ping'an is promoted to deputy envoy, he will definitely liquidate himself.

God knows how I got here these days, and I was terrified, lest the Dongchuang incident would be liquidated by Zhu Pingan.

However, it will be fine in a few days, so I don't need to be frightened.

Because Zhao Wenhua, Mr. Zhao will be here soon, and his backer is here. As long as he hugs Mr. Zhao's thigh tightly, what will Zhu Pingan be?

Not worth mentioning at all!

Deputy envoy, hehe, if Zhu Ping'an can do it, so can I, Zhang Chufeng.

In addition, Zhu Pingan offended Lord Yan so much that he even instructed Yang Jisheng to impeach him. If Yang Jisheng hadn't been stubborn and didn't listen to his advice, then Lord Yan would have been in big trouble. talk. Master Yan Xiaoxiang wants to get rid of it quickly, and has already spoken out many times.

Master Zhao is the godson of Master Yan, a senior member of the strict party.

I believe Master Zhao will definitely not sit back and watch Zhu Pingan get promoted in the south of the Yangtze River and make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chufeng felt more confident.

At noon, I had lunch at the yamen of the procuratorate and procuratorate. After the meal, Zhu Ping'an read the documents of the yamen to get acquainted with the official and political affairs of the yamen.

As the acting deputy envoy, Zhu Ping'an is qualified to read the official documents in the yamen. Most of the official documents are related to the judiciary, such as major cases, important cases, difficult and miscellaneous cases, etc., and there are also several documents related to the discipline of officials.

Zhu Ping'an looked through the official documents on the discipline of officials, and found that two of them were about Songjiang Prefecture. Some people impeached the Songjiang Mansion for its inability to defend the Japanese, causing Huating, Zhelin, Chuanshawa and other places to be occupied by Japanese pirates. In recent days, more and more Japanese pirates have gathered here, with more than 40,000, forming a Japanese bandit nest. Moreover, Japanese pirates continued to gather in this bandit nest, forming a huge force of Japanese pirates.

These Japanese pirates will not stay in the bandit's lair honestly. They often go out to harass the people in the nearby areas. Burning, killing and looting happen endlessly.

"Huating, 40,000"

Zhu Pingan put down the official document, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.

The Japanese invasion in the south of the Yangtze River is really getting worse. When I went to Yiwu to recruit soldiers, Xu Hai, Chen Dong and other Japanese pirates only occupied Zhelin, Chuanshawa and other places, with a population of about 30,000. How long has it been? Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates actually occupied Huating again, and their strength increased by another 10,000, reaching more than 40,000.

This is only the Japanese plague in Songjiang Prefecture, and the severity of the Japanese plague in the south of the Yangtze River can be seen from this.

Huating

Huating is still the hometown of Mr. Xu Jie and Xu. It is estimated that Mr. Xu in the capital received the news that Huating was occupied by Japanese pirates, and it is time to go up.

It was in the middle of the afternoon that there was news that Zhao Wenhua's fleet was about to arrive in Yingtian.

Then, an order came from Zhang Jing, governor of the south of the Yangtze River, ordering all the yamen and officials to go out to the Wuli Wharf of the North Gate to meet the imperial envoy Zhao Wenhua.

Zhang Nietai took Zhu Ping'an and others out of the north gate together, and went to the dock to meet the imperial envoy Zhao Wenhua. On the way, I met many officials who went to meet the officials, and they all went together with the Yamen as a unit.

Everyone saluted and greeted each other, then gathered together and went to the pier to meet Zhao Wenhua.

Walking and walking, it became mighty.

Everywhere on this road is clean. The Ministry of Rituals organized servants and civilian husbands to clean it up as early as yesterday, and it sprinkled water on purpose this morning. Even if a gust of wind blows, there is no dust.

The pier was also decorated, and red silk was tied to the trees on both sides of the road. Zhu Pingan took a closer look and found that these red silks were used once when he greeted the Xuanzhi **** last time. Like.

Soon, after Zhu Ping'an and his party arrived, the major yamen in Yingtian and officials above rank five from all over the place gathered in front of the pier.

After a while, Zhang Jingcai, the speaker in the south of the Yangtze River, arrived late, surrounded by Wei Guogong, Linhuaihou, Yu Dayou and other generals.

Among the generals, Zhu Ping'an only knew Wei Guogong, Linhuaihou, and Yu Dayou, and he didn't know the others.

"Governor Zhang." A group of officials waiting for Zhao Wenhua stepped forward to greet Jiangnan Governor Zhang Jing.

"My lords, there is no need to be polite. I am a step late to inspect the Beijing camp drills. Forgive me."

Zhang Jingxu gave everyone a hand and nodded slightly. .

"It's not too late, Mr. Zhao hasn't arrived yet. Governor Zhang, who forgot to sleep and eat in order to wipe out the pirates, is really a role model for us. What's the crime?"

A group of officials spoke one after another, and consciously stood behind Zhang Jing, paying full respect to Zhang Jing, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River.
