Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1685 will regard the Zhejiang Army

After inspecting the three military camps, Zhang Jing took everyone all the way to the south. They thought they were going to inspect Zhenwei Camp, because Zhenwei Camp was close to the south wall, but it was Zhang Jing who led everyone to Zhenwei Camp. Instead, he led the crowd straight to the city gate, left the city, and continued southward along the main road.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but became confused, thinking to themselves, Mr. Governor, let's go the wrong way. The Zhenwei Camp is located in the southwest of the city wall, and is inside the city. How did we go out of the city? Let's just go out of the city, why continue to go south Walk.

   "Merlin, do you know where we are going? Is there a military camp outside the city?"

  Zhao Wenhua couldn't help becoming confused, rode his horse close to Hu Zongxian, and asked him suspiciously.

"Butang, the sun has come here. Calculated according to the distance and time, there are two places you can go to now, one is the navy camp in the east of the city, and the other is the Zhe army camp in the southeast. If we go out from the south gate, we should go to the Zhejiang army camp. If we are going to the navy camp, it is more convenient to go out from the east gate, and it will be farther away from the south gate."

  Hu Zongxian knew the locations of the battalions, and after hearing Zhao Wenhua's inquiry, he analyzed softly, inferring that Zhang Jing should take everyone to the Zhejiang Army camp.

"Oh, so I went to the Zhejiang Army Camp. The Zhejiang Army Camp is a bit familiar..." Zhao Wenhua suddenly realized after listening to Hu Zongxian's analysis, and then felt that the Zhejiang Army Camp was somewhat familiar. After reading it again, he suddenly remembered, "Oh, I remembered, it was the team training led by Zihou Zhu Ping'an."

   "What the ministry said is even true, the Zhejiang army camp is exactly the regiment training army led by Master Zhu Pingan."

   Hu Zongxian gave a compliment.

   "Meilin, do you know the Zhejiang Army? Have you ever visited the Zhejiang Army?" Zhao Wenhua asked again.

"Huibutang, Xiaguan's understanding of the Zhejiang Army is only superficial, not real. More than a month ago, Xiaguan intends to go to the Zhejiang Army for inspection. Just as the trip was scheduled, the Japanese pirates in Shangyu broke out and interrupted the trip. Some time ago, when I was inspecting the camps, Master Zhu went to Yiwu to recruit troops again. The commander was not there, so it was inconvenient to inspect. Therefore, I have not inspected the Zhejiang Army so far. This is the first time to inspect the Zhejiang Army, so it can be regarded as a big deal One of the officials' wishes." Hu Zongxian replied truthfully.

   "How much do you know about the Zhejiang Army?" Zhao Wenhua asked again.

"I only know that the Zhejiang Army originally had more than 800 soldiers. Some time ago, Mr. Zhu obtained Governor Zhang's permission to go to Yiwu to recruit another 1,200 recruits. At present, the Zhejiang Army has a total of about 2,000 people. As for the Zhejiang Army's drills, The lower officials don't know how powerful they are, what weapons and equipment they have." Hu Zongxian replied.

   "It seems that the number of Zhejiang troops is the smallest in the barracks." Zhao Wenhua said, not without disappointment.

   It is true that Zhao Wenhua valued Zhu Ping'an, but he did not pay attention to the Zhejiang Army led by Zhu Ping'an.

  The Zhejiang army only has two thousand people, and it is not a regular army. It is just a regiment training. How can we make Zhao Wenhua, who has ambitions in the south of the Yangtze River, pay attention to him.

"Although the Ministry of the Ministry, the Zhejiang army is small, it should not be underestimated. On that day, the Japanese pirates from Shangyu harassed Yingtian, and they were invincible all the way across more than ten counties in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Not afraid of the jokes of the Ministry, the lower officials led elite soldiers to attack the Japanese pirates in the cherry orchard. I didn't notice it for a while, and was also raided by Japanese pirates disguised as beggars, and suffered a big defeat. The Japanese pirates came to the city of Tianying, arrogant and arrogant, and the whole city was shaken. At that time, the Zhejiang army had only 800 people, and Master Zhu led the pioneer of the Zhejiang army The Japanese pirates broke the siege of Yingtian under the city, and killed the Japanese pirates at night, which shows the strength of the Zhejiang army. Now, Master Zhu has recruited another 1,200 soldiers from Yiwu, and the strength of the Zhejiang army has reached 2,000. Great increase. Going to the Zhejiang Army may be the biggest surprise of our trip.”

Seeing Zhao Wenhua's disappointment, Hu Zongxian couldn't help smiling slightly, and told Zhao Wenhua about Zhu Ping's outstanding performance in Yingtian's Japanese invasion. Embarrassing things, to set off Zhu Ping'an.

"Oh, many people didn't say that Zihou overthrew the Japanese pirates with Miao Man's drug, and took the opportunity to cut off the head of the sleeping Japanese pirates. The victory was unarmed, and anyone could do it. It's just that Zihou was lucky and took the lead. Does it mean that the Zhejiang army can fight?" Zhao Wenhua squinted his eyes and asked again.

Hu Zongxian shook his head, and further explained: "That's the jealousy of mediocre people. If anyone can do it, why did the Japanese pirates in Shangyu conquer dozens of counties in several provinces? When the Japanese pirates approached the city, no one except General Yu Dayou dared Those who call for battle. Zihou chased the Japanese pirates under the city first, but the 800 Zhejiang Army's chariots were in order, and the Japanese pirates had no chance to take advantage of it, so they had to retreat first; and later attacked the Japanese pirates at night, and they had to be brave and resourceful."

  When Zhao Wenhua heard the words, he nodded noncommittally.

"Butang, don't look at Mr. Zhu's young age, but in the south of the Yangtze River, apart from Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, and Tang Shunzhi, who was dismissed from office, among the civil servants in the south of the Yangtze River, he should belong to Mr. Zhu Ping'an and Mr. Zhu. In the future, I believe Mr. Zhu will decide If it can shine again, it will add another chapter to the record book. If the Ministry can win over Zihou, and Zihou will help me and Sabetang, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

  Hu Zongxian strongly recommended Zhu Pingan to Zhao Wenhua, suggesting that Zhao Wenhua win over Zhu Pingan.

   "Oh, I didn't expect Meilin to think so highly of Zihou." Zhao Wenhua said not without surprise.

"Zi Houwen has the talent of the number one scholar, and his martial arts strategy is also outstanding. It's just a matter of time before he breaks the bag." Hu Zongxian replied, and then suggested again, "Zihou has not yet shown his sharpness. It is better to draw it early, if you wait for Zihou to shine brightly, it will be difficult."

"Don't worry, Meilin, I know it well. I saw Zihou as early as when he was not elected, and I knew that he was a rare talent." Zhao Wenhua smiled and nodded, and recruited Zhu Pingan that day. Hu Zongxian also told Hu Zongxian the secret, "When I first came here, I recruited Zihou, but Zihou was reserved and young and arrogant. He didn't agree, but it wasn't considered a rejection. He tried his best to assist me with the two important tasks of imperial envoy. Hehe, Although he is talented, he has little experience and is not deeply involved in the world. He is not as good at current affairs as Mei Lin, and he needs to be trained. However, he is in Jiangnan, and I am also in Jiangnan. I have plenty of time to train him. go."

   "The department's ability to know people is not as good as constitution." Hu Zongxian heard this and complimented him.

   "Hehe, let's take a look at the Zhejiang Army Camp and see what surprises Zihou can bring us."

  Zhao Wenhua smiled with great interest, and rode his horse to follow Zhang Jing and his party.

   "Drive!"

  Hu Zongxian also rushed to keep up.

  Zhang Jing led the people all the way southward, and it didn’t take long for Wei Guogong to realize that he had been on this road several times, and Governor Zhang was going to inspect the Zhejiang Army.
