The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

This pirate rebellion came to an end when the Japanese pirates who invaded Suzhou entered the sea.

The guards and sea villages in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces sent out ships to chase and patrol. The Japanese pirates were defeated by the imperial army this time. More than 1000 Japanese pirates landed, but only [-] escaped back to sea.

This time is a great victory for the imperial court, the biggest victory since Governor Wang Bingzhi of Fujian and Zhejiang, and naturally also the biggest victory of Ji Heng since governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

But this victory was greatly discounted because of the difficulties in Jijia Village, so that up to now, there are not as many people who pay attention to the victory as Jijia Village.

Although both the Yuhang victory and the Caijingba victory have been reported to the capital through the unofficial channel of flying pigeons, Wang Bingzhi has not yet written an official memorial.

When Ji Heng came to the Governor's Mansion, Lord Wang just let Ji Heng follow him to the study.

After sitting down, the servant served the tea and stepped back, Master Wang asked the servant to close the door again, and then prepared to have a detailed discussion with Ji Heng.

Ji Heng still had the gauze wrapped around his head, but he had a white face, his eyes were as dark as deep pools, and sparkling like autumn water, the gauze wrapped was not ugly, and it even brought out a deep melancholy.

Master Wang had to say a few words of concern, "Is the injury on my nephew's head better?"

His generals are injured, as long as they are not missing arms or legs, or wandering around the gate of hell, he will not ask. To be a general in war, you should have the courage to lead the way, the awareness of being shrouded in horse leather, It's nothing to get hurt.

Therefore, if it happened to someone else like Ji Heng's little injury, it would be nothing to mention, but when it comes to Ji Heng's head, Mr. Wang thinks it's better to show some concern.

Ji Heng was ashamed of having this injury, and it would be fine if others didn't ask, but when asked, he was too embarrassed to tell the truth, so he just said, "It's just a small injury, it will be fine in a few days, it's not worthy of an adult's concern. "

As he spoke, he changed the subject directly, "This time the Japanese pirates invaded Jiangnan, the number of enemies killed so far, our damage, and the damage of the common people should also be counted. I don't know if the localities have reported it."

Before Ji Heng came to the southeast, the Japanese rebellion, reported to the emperor in the capital, always the number of enemies killed, whether the city was defended, the efforts of the officers and soldiers, or who failed to resist the Japanese pirates, etc., were always downplayed. How much damage did the Japanese pirates cause and how much did the common people lose?

As a result, most of what the emperor saw was the good side. As long as the matter was not covered by paper, he would not report it to the capital at all.

Ji Heng discovered this problem when he read the newspaper earlier, but the officials in the capital didn't care much about ordinary people, so they didn't pay much attention to this problem.

After Ji Heng went to the southeast, he demanded that every time he played a report, he must also clearly write down the losses caused to the people, and he was not allowed to downplay this part.

Naturally, there are also false reports, so this is the post of supervisor, and will inspect this matter later.

Gradually, the area of ​​Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian only had the total loss after suffering from Japanese pirates.

Master Wang said, "The memorials from Jiangsu were sent directly to Jinling Mansion to Chen Huanzhi, but those from Zhejiang have already been sent to me."

Chen Huanzhi is the governor of Liangjiang, he has always done nothing to fight against Japanese pirates, but he likes to stumbling Wang Bingzhi.

He came to power because the court was arguing endlessly about opening ports and banning the sea. The emperor could not go his own way, so in order to appease the Banhai faction, Chen Huanzhi, who was from the Banhai faction, was appointed as the governor of Liangjiang.

Naturally, this Chen Huanzhi is indeed a character in other respects, but he is not as good when it comes to using soldiers.

When Mr. Wang said this, he was naturally referring to Chen Huanzhi. Ji Heng was the emperor's most trusted person, and Mr. Wang wanted him to deal with Chen Huanzhi very much.

Ji Heng also knew that the separation of Liangjiang and Zhejiang and Fujian would really hinder the issuance of government orders, and would be detrimental to the fight against Japanese pirates. However, if the military power of Liangjiang and Zhejiang and Fujian were all concentrated, it would be easy for Wang Bingzhi to have too much power.

Ji Heng didn't make a judgment on Chen Huanzhi's matter, but just said that he wanted to read the reports from various places, so Mr. Wang directly showed it to Ji Heng.

Ji Heng pondered for a long time after reading it, and said to Mr. Wang, "I wonder if your lord has written the memorial to the emperor."

Master Wang said, "Not yet. I just want to discuss this matter with my nephew."

Ji Heng didn't shirk, and the two discussed how to write this memorial. The crisis of Ji's family village had already been passed on to Beijing by Feige. I'm afraid it caused an uproar in Beijing, but the official memorial was different. Whether to write about the difficulties of Jijia Village in detail, or just to mention it briefly, is something to be particular about.

Mr. Wang does not want to make decisions on his own in this matter. Mr. Wang has his own hills and valleys in his chest. On the surface, he is actually a person who is very good at being an official, and he will not confront anyone directly.

After deliberation, Ji Heng felt that it was enough to simply write about the difficulties of Jijia Village, and he directly wrote together the difficulties of Jijia Village and the casualties and losses of the people in other places caused by Japanese pirates, so that it did not appear to be the difficulty of Jijia Village. How special.

Ji Heng knew that even if he wrote it like this, he could achieve the purpose of attracting the court's attention, and it would not make the Ji family stand out too much.

After all, if people continue to discuss this matter, it will only embarrass the women of the Ji family who were captured by the Japanese pirates, and will not help them rescue them and fight against the Japanese pirates.

Master Wang then followed Ji Heng's wishes, and the two discussed and finished writing the memorial, and sent Babaili to the capital in an expedited manner.

At this time, Ji Heng discussed with Mr. Wang the matter of adding shipyards and firearms factories in other places, and also said that he would increase the mobile navy. This mobile navy does not belong to any guard, but it will The mobile navy can directly dispatch the water troops of each guard station so that they can respond flexibly at sea, which is beneficial to blocking pirates at sea.

He also said, "This time there are spies in Yuhang City, and they want to burn down the shipyards and firearms factories, which shows the intentions of the pirates. It is necessary to set up several shipyards and firearms factories in other places. If Kou succeeds in one place, he won't let the loss be too big."

Master Wang said, "The military salary given by the imperial court is not enough."

Ji Heng then talked about using business to support the army. Zhao Zhili had always known Ji Heng, so when Ji Heng said that, Zhao Zhili simply accepted it, but Mr. Wang didn't, so he was shocked when he heard it. Although Mr. Wang also belongs to the port-opening faction, he still doesn't like businessmen in his heart.

His ancestral home was in Fujian, and he grew up in Linhai. He knew that after the sea was banned, the people in Linhai could not go out to live in hardship, and they were easily forced to become pirates. So he supported the opening of the port, but he felt that the idea was very good when he cooperated with businessmen. Not good, Ji Heng is whimsical and has lost the court's face.

Although he disapproved, he didn't directly object. He just shook his head and said, "Where does this make the imperial court face?"

In the minds of these scholar-officials, the face of the imperial court is very important, and the relationship between the imperial court and the common people is an opposition before they are united. The imperial court manages the common people, like herding a group of pigs and sheep. On this common people.

The imperial court's face is more important than anything else, and they would rather increase taxes than use Ji Heng's method.

Although Ji Heng is a standard literati and official on the outside, he is people-oriented on the inside. As long as he can solve the problem, the face of the court is not that important to him.

Of course, he also knows the importance of the court's face, but there is no practical benefit that makes him care more.

Especially after seeing the tragic situation in Jijia Village, he was full of hatred and passion in his heart, and he might not even be able to spit out the blood in his heart.

Ji Heng saw that Mr. Wang was not someone to discuss, so he didn't bother to talk too much. He just talked about army building again, so the two of them talked about the first night light.

Ji Heng still left dinner in the governor's mansion before leaving.

Mr. Wang was busy with training and fighting, and Ji Heng was busy with the aftermath of the war, and began to write the memorial to the emperor that was as long as ten thousand characters. By the end of November, the imperial court had come down with the rewards and punishments for the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor was clearly rewarded and punished this time. Mr. Wang Bingzhi was given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, Ji Heng was added as governor of Jiangsu, Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhao Zhili was promoted to the army commander of Zhejiang, and the other generals also had their own rewards. Those who died in battle were naturally not allowed to die in vain. , Officials who have made mistakes will inevitably be demoted or dismissed, and there are also serious cases of direct exile, such as Xiao Zhisheng, the magistrate of Xinghua County.In addition, Master Lin Conglin was sent to take the post of admiral of the Jiangsu Army as the chief military officer, and brought 5000 troops to Jiangsu, and the court also promised to send 100 million taels of military pay to Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang in batches.

The emperor Jia Jiheng was the governor of Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang. Although Ji Heng was the governor of the capital, he was under Wang Bingzhi, but because the governor of Liangjiang was added now, he naturally played a role in coordinating the military affairs of Fujian, Zhejiang and Liangjiang.

Although the emperor dealt with a group of officials who were unfavorable in supervising the war, the governor of Liangjiang, Chen Huanzhi, did nothing in the war but was only reprimanded and received no other punishment. Master Wang knew the emperor's intention, which was to restrain himself and let Ji Heng in the war. It means to replace Chen Huanzhi in military affairs.

At the end of the 14th year of Zhaoyuan, Ji Heng was too busy to touch the ground. Because of the cold weather, the wound on his forehead healed slowly. When Fu Yang arrived in Yuhang, the gauze on his head had not been removed.

When Fu Yangjin reported to Ji Heng in the Governor's Mansion, Ji Heng never came back from the firearms factory. Ji Heng treated the craftsmen preferentially, and was willing to spend money on the research and development of firearms. , the results in this area are naturally very remarkable, the improved Fran cannon has also made some progress, imitations have even been manufactured, and Ji Heng is still suggesting the development of shotguns.

Ji Heng returned to the mansion in the evening, and the manager of the mansion greeted him at the door, saying, "Master Fu, the first-class guard with a knife in Jingzhong, has arrived, and I have been waiting for you all afternoon in the mansion."

The first-class guards with swords are officials of the third rank, and beside the emperor, they are all celebrities who the emperor trusts very much. They are very honorable. When seeing such a first-rank official sent abroad, Wang Bingzhi would not dare to be in front of such a person Congratulations, Ji Heng thought about it, Fu Yang was the only one whose surname was Fu, he went into the mansion, and he really saw Fu Yang in the hall.

Fu Yang was sitting on a chair drinking tea, when he saw Ji Heng came back, he quickly got up and saluted.

Ji Heng was wearing an official uniform, probably because he had been busy all day, the official uniform was slightly wrinkled, because Ji Heng was wearing an official hat, and the gauze on his forehead was somewhat tied into the official hat, so it didn't look too dazzling.

Fu Yang hasn't seen Ji Heng for more than half a year. He only thinks that Ji Heng is a little darker and thinner than before, but compared to others, he is still white.

Fu Yang said, "The lower officials have seen Mr. Ji."

Ji Heng hurriedly said, "Master Fu, don't be too polite, you're going to kill me."

He stepped forward and lifted Fu Yang up again. Although Ji Heng is a real man and has no feminine attitude, Fu Yang has guarded him for nearly a year, so there is always a feeling that Ji Heng is the emperor's harem. Even at this moment, he felt this way, when Ji Heng reached out his hand to warmly lift him up, he even had the awkward feeling of withdrawing his hand quickly, and it flashed in his heart that being received by Ji Heng so enthusiastically was really abrupt to him.

Fortunately, Fu Yang felt awkward and didn't show it on his face, so he hurriedly exchanged a few more pleasantries.

After the two sat down, Ji Heng asked, "It's already the end of the year, the emperor sent Mr. Fu here at this time, I don't know what's important."

Fu Yang said casually, "The lower official was ordered by the emperor to bring two hundred phoenix feather guards to protect Your Excellency, and to be His Excellency's personal soldiers."
