Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1461 Zhang Jing’s second examination (Part 1)

   Uh, isn’t my rule of the army strict enough? ! Hearing Zhang Jing's comments on being soft-hearted and soft-hearted, Zhu Pingan couldn't help being taken aback. I have established military laws and strictly enforced them. Is this still soft-hearted?

  Zhang Jing didn't give Zhu Pingan a chance to speak, and continued to ask, "Is your team training worthy of a battle now?"

Hearing this, Zhu Pingan shook his head frankly, and replied with a wry smile, "My lord, the Zhejiang army under my command has only been trained for more than half a month. At present, it has only begun to take shape as an army. It has not yet formed an army, and its combat effectiveness is limited. Fight." Speaking of this, Zhu Pingan changed the subject again, and said with a firm face, "Even so, the lower officials guarantee their wealth and lives, and the Zhejiang Army will return if they are called, and respond to battles, and swear to the death to complete the mission!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jing nodded in satisfaction, and gave Zhu Ping an admiring glance, "You are very frank, which is quite rare, if you answer that you can fight, can fight, and are good at fighting, I will serve tea to see off guests. It is very good to say that you must return when you are called, and you must respond to battles. You have the demeanor of a veteran general for many years. If everyone in the military officer has this awareness, why worry about the injustice of the Japanese pirates, why worry about the uncertainty of the northern captives. However, some Easier said than done, the so-called serving the food and tailoring the clothes to the individual, I will not force others to do so, you will train strictly after you go back, and you will be useful to your Zhejiang army in the future."

   In the future, we will be useful one day, the subtext means that we will not be needed now, recently

Too.

  Nowadays, the regular soldiers of the Beijing camp and guards near Yingtian really don’t need the militia regiment with less than a thousand people and less than a month of training.

  Zhu Pingan also has self-knowledge in his heart.

  Boom boom boom.

  At this moment, there were three knocks on the door, and the voice of the officer reporting, "Master Shangshu, I have something to report from the humble official"

  Zhang Jing said, "Come in." After the guard came in, Zhang Jing asked, "Scribe Qi, what do you have to report?"

   "Report to Master Shangshu, Zhang Xuan and Zhang Shenshi of Nanzhili came to the Yamen to ask for an audience." Qi Shuli bowed and reported.

   "Why did Zhang Shen come here?" Zhang Jing asked.

Qi Shuli bowed and replied, "My lord, Zhang Shenyi said that he accidentally got a volume of "Wartime Posts" which is said to be monk Huai Su's "War Time Post", which recorded a war in the Tang Dynasty. The hall was full, and Zhang Shenyi couldn't tell whether the post was written by Monk Huai Su himself, and thought of the master's literary talent and military strategy, so he came here to ask for advice."

   Zhang Jing couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, waved his hands impatiently, and said to the clerk without hesitation, "Tell Zhang Shenyi that I am busy with business and have no time to discuss with him. Please ask him to go back."

  Zhu Ping'an couldn't help being startled when he heard the words.

   Zhang Jing refused Zhang Shenyi's interview, so why did he interview him? In terms of rank, status, and weight, I am inferior to Zhang Shenyi in everything. Zhang Shenyi is a fourth-rank official in charge of military affairs in Southern Zhili.

   "Obey." The scribe took the order and left.

   "Master Zhu is wondering why I see you but not Zhang Shenyi?" Zhang Jing noticed Zhu Pingan's puzzled expression and asked softly.

   "I do have this doubt." Zhu Pingan said frankly.

"This official is really busy. The reason why I saw you is because you are the only official who has come to the Yamen to look up the detailed files of the Japanese pirates these days. Now the Japanese plague is getting worse and has become the most serious threat in the south of the Yangtze River. It is natural to get rid of the Japanese pirates." It has also become a top priority, if you are interested, I will naturally have to see you. As for appreciating copybooks and the like, how can I have such leisure time!" Zhang Jing spoke slowly, dispelling the doubts in Zhu Ping'an's heart.

  So that was the case, Zhu Ping'an immediately understood. I was the only official who came to check the detailed files of the Japanese pirates, so who was the other person?

   "Before you, Hu Zongxian, the censor of Zhejiang patrol and supervision, also came to check the detailed files of the recent Japanese pirates."

   Zhang Jing seems to be able to read minds, seeing Zhu Ping'an's expression, he knew Zhu Ping'an's inner voice, and he took the initiative to speak.

   Hu Zongxian!

Hearing that Hu Zongxian took the initiative to check the detailed files of the Japanese pirates, Zhu Pingan was not surprised, because the main historical achievement and achievement of Hu Zongxian in history was the extermination of the Japanese pirates. reason.

   "It's rare that Mr. Zhu is a caring person. What do you think about the Japanese invasion today?"

  Zhang Jing asked Zhu Ping'an.

"The problem of Japanese invasion began in the Yuan Dynasty and has continued to this day. It has been more than 150 years. Before that, there was no major invasion by Japanese pirates, but it is different now. In recent years, Japanese pirates have intensified their invasion, especially this year. Since then, the situation has changed suddenly, and the Japanese pirates have become more and more serious. The lower officials have checked the files. This year, the Japanese pirates have been serious, which is very different from the previous ones. Tens of thousands landed and plundered all over the southeast coast. After landing and plundering, they no longer fled as quickly as before. Instead, they established strongholds along the coast, entrenched for a long time, and plundered at any time. They also began to go deep into the interior. The most obvious An example is the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu! The Japanese pirates in Shangyu have penetrated into the territory of Huizhou! Among the pirates, there are not only real Japanese, but also a large number of fake Japanese. This year's Japanese pirates can be called "big Japanese pirates"! The richness of the south of the Yangtze River has always been the focus of our dynasty's wealth. The southern pirates directly affect the wealth and income of our dynasty and the stability of the country, shake the foundation of our dynasty, wipe out Japanese pirates, and quell Japanese riots. Not only is Jiangnan’s top priority! It’s our dynasty’s top priority! It’s even more urgent than the northern captives at the moment, and it’s urgent to wipe out the Japanese pirates!”

  Zhu Pingan thought for a while, then slowly replied.

  After hearing Zhu Ping'an's answer, Zhang Jing couldn't help but nodded, "Master Zhu, you really have a heart. You have done so many times, for a long time, on a large scale, with a large number of people, and in a wide area. You have summed up the Japanese invasion situation this year very well."

   "My lord, I'm too proud." Zhu Pingan said modestly, "As long as you pay a little attention, you can see these things."

   "Hehe, some people can't see it. Now that the Japanese plague is so serious, it's absurd that they still have the heart to appreciate copybooks!" Zhang Jing couldn't help a sneer, and once again satirized Zhang Shenyi who couldn't see him.

Uh.

   It seems that Zhang Shenshi was remembered by Zhang Jing. The negative kind!

  At first, I wanted to get closer to Zhang Jing through Monk Huai Su’s copybook, but I didn’t expect it to go against my wish, and I couldn’t get to see her. It’s delusional to get closer, and Zhang Jing remembered it as a negative example.

   It is conceivable that he has become a negative typical Zhang Shen, and there is no good fruit for Zhang Jing.

  As long as Zhang Jing is here, Zhang Shenhui will not even think about being promoted! I even have to worry about whether I can wear my black hat!

  Zhu Ping'an couldn't help mourning for Zhang Shenyu.
