As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

"During the previous dynasty, there were Japanese pirates who fled to the southeast to commit crimes, captured cargo ships, and robbed the people. As the defeated generations gathered, the people of Dazhao were plundered and brought into it, so it gradually became a trend... Hmm, I wonder if Nie Butang understands this? Would you like me to explain in more detail?"

Looking at Hua Manlou's mentally retarded eyes, Nie Wenbing gritted his teeth and said, "No need!"

Hua Manlou shrugged and continued to explain: "Okay. Your Majesty, as I said just now, the formation of Japanese pirates is the result of warlord separatism, so the Japanese pirates in the southeast are by no means the same force. Some of these Japanese pirates were newly formed, There are also those that have been developed for many years, and the relationship between several different groups of Japanese pirates is very complicated, including hostility, alliances, non-contact, and even the situation of belonging to another group of Japanese pirates, so..."

Hua Manlou looked at Nie Wenbing with pity, and sighed: "The Japanese pirates in Nie Butang's eyes who need to work hard to destroy them are actually... just a mess of loose sand."

Nie Wenbing's face turned blue and white, but he was completely speechless.

What are you talking about?

He just thought that the emergency in the southeast could be used, but he didn't care what the pirates were at all, he just wanted to use it to kill Huamanlou.

But who knew that Zhuzi knew so much about Japanese pirates?

350. The Loneliness of Flowers Mansion

Although Nie Wenbing was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how much pain Hua Manlou, who originally investigated the Japanese pirates in order to blame the Tianjin Sanwei Commander, felt in his heart when he talked about these things.

Just because, after throwing these things out, he will have to deal with it himself, and it will trigger a series of chain reactions. Even he doesn't know how things will develop, so he only said a few words All the words stimulated Nie Wenbing, just to understand the hatred.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that the Japanese pirates are a mess, and there are actual news." Hua Manlou sneered, and then pointed to the chart to explain to Emperor Guangxing and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "The most powerful Japanese pirates have three strands, one Chen Jiafu, who called himself Tiancha Pinghai General, had his main base in the Osumi area of ​​the Wa Kingdom, and claimed to have more than [-] people under his command. The second was Wei Xingchen, who called himself the King of Hui, and his main base was in the Wa Kingdom Hirado Island area. There are about [-] people under him..."

"Wait a minute, the names of these people..." Mr. Wen Ge interrupted Hua Manlou.

Sighing, Hua Manlou nodded and said, "That's right, they used to be the people of Dazhao, and both of them were from Huizhou Prefecture, that is to say, they were fake Japanese. If it wasn't for that, I really couldn't find them." origin."

The ministers were shocked for a while, and they couldn't believe it. Even Emperor Guangxing was moved: "They...why did they become Japanese pirates?"

"It must be self-willing to degenerate and disrespecting teachings. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it."

"Exactly, since ancient times, there have been many people who have fallen into the weeds, and most of them are seeking money..."

Hua Manlou sighed again after listening to such remarks: "If there is a chance, catch these two His Majesty and ask him personally?"

It has to be said that Huamanlou is salty fish to the bone, but after hearing such ridiculous remarks by these civil servants who control the lifeblood of the celestial dynasty, the anger welling up in my heart can't be suppressed.

Chen Jiafu was a scholar before he became a Japanese pirate. For a while, he was well-known in Huizhou. It is said that his literary talent is good, and he can be sure of success in the examination. Such a person does not respect education?

Wei Xingchen's family is well-off, if he is really looking for money, why would he want to be a blood-licking pirate?

But today is not the time to talk about these things, and Hua Manlou is too lazy to continue talking about these things with civil servants, so let these idiots get drunk in their own world.

Seeing Huamanlou's slightly lonely expression, Emperor Guangxing knew that there were probably some stories in it, so he didn't ask in detail, but said: "Go on."

"Yes." Hua Manlou responded, and continued: "The third group of Japanese pirates is the real Japanese pirates. The leader is Matsuura Taro. The location and strength of the pirates are unknown, but it is said that they are protected by a certain daimyo. In addition to the three most powerful Japanese pirates, there may be more than a hundred other Japanese pirates, or one or two thousand, and most of them are entrenched on the islands east of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian."

Speaking of this, Hua Manlou looked at Nie Wenbing: "Nie Butang, you used to drag me to fight the Japanese pirates. Now that the Japanese pirates are in trouble, how are you going to fight them? Can Dasumi be found? Look, it's here , Is the distance from Ningbo to here roughly the same as the distance from the capital to Yingtianfu, you always... equal one?"

Nie Wenbing blushed with anger, but couldn't say a word.

I thought the Japanese pirates were bandits who rode in a small boat and yelled to loot, but who would have thought that they were so powerful?

Of course, the so-called 4 to [-] people are generally an imaginary number, and most of them also include some old, weak, sick, disabled and local residents.But according to Hua Manlou's estimation, each of these three bands of Japanese pirates can fight more than [-] people, and the total number of large and small warships is over a hundred. Some weaker daimyos dare not shout against this group of people.

Therefore, it is completely nonsense to fight these big pirates based on Da Zhao's current situation.

Hua Manlou continued to irritate Nie Wenbing: "Oh, the three big Japanese are too far away, so can the small Japanese be beaten? Nie Butang, look here, do you see that this is Pinghaiwei, and there is a big Zhao abandoned in the southeast of Pinghaiwei. The Shuizhai said Nanri, and it was actually occupied by a group of crazed Japanese pirates. The number of people is estimated to be three or four hundred, and there are about ten warships. In Nie Butang's opinion, how to destroy this group of bold and lunatics? "

The abandoned water village represents Da Zhao’s decision to move the water village on the outer island to the shore decades ago. This is another strategy that sounds refreshing: since the outer island is isolated overseas, why not put the water village on the shore , only guard the shore?

It has to be said that Daming did the same thing back then, and it was done by the same group of seemingly loyal and patriotic civil servants, just like the princes who stand in court today.

The Nanri Water Village is actually not far from Dazhao, and you might be able to see it from the shore when you climb up and look far away, but the pirate Ping Haiwei who is entrenched on this island has nothing to do, so this group of people will be in Fuzhou from time to time. Mansion, Xinghua Mansion, and Quanzhou Mansion secretly landed and wreaked havoc...

Some people have sadly denounced this incident as abandoning the door and guarding the court, because before the water village was moved, no Japanese pirates had ever invaded from this direction, but after the water village was moved, the doors of each government were wide open—this is Jiajing An important reason for the soaring incidents of looting by Japanese pirates.

"It's so close?"

"how can that be!"

"Hua Man Lou, are you trying to trick me?"

"That's right, why did you know this, but the Fuzhou government never reported the news?"

Hua Manlou looked at the group of people quietly, without saying a word, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Aren't those who whitewash the peace among you?

It wasn't until Emperor Guangxing asked, Hua Manlou said: "Your Majesty, these are all gathered from the news I got through Dongchang and Beizhen Fusi. The Beizhen Fusi should have a file for the files. Others, Weichen The minister doesn't know at all."

The commander of the Xuanwu Guards sent Lu Kun out of the squad, proving: "Your Majesty, I can testify that these are all ordered by my minister to help Xishan Bocha, and Xishanbo specially set up a reward of 3 taels of silver for this, and Provided part of the investigation funds..."

Emperor Guangxing's face was full of gloom: "You mean, the Japanese pirates are actually under my nose? On the island of Dazhao?"

Hua Manlou suddenly wanted to laugh: it's not just under the nose?In order to prevent accidents on their own land, some local officials have conspired with Japanese pirates, and some have colluded with local wealthy families to spend money to buy peace—the local government buys peace from pirates. Doesn’t it sound quite black and humorous?

However, officials and officials protect each other, and there are even people in the court who protect this group of people, so the matter has been suppressed like this--don't you see that when this matter was mentioned, some people in the court suddenly changed their faces?

That's why it is said that Da Zhao's troubles are not outside, but in the court, in this Fengtian Palace... the moose has lost its charm.

In short, Emperor Guangxing asked Lu Kun to send the dossier for inspection, so the cover was completely lifted by Huamanlou, and the consequences...

Of course, he is too lazy to take care of these messy things in the court. Anyway, there are those idle censors tossing about. The shitty things in the southeast have nothing to do with him. Now his main target is this Nie Wenbing who has to be killed. .

So Hua Manlou cast his eyes on him again, and smiled sinisterly: "Old bastard, it's about time to push you into the pit!"

351. Ultimate move, how could it be released at the beginning?

When Hua Manlou uttered these words, Emperor Guangxing felt very complicated.

Although he does not think that the Japanese pirates are mediocre like most courtiers, because the mediocre Japanese pirates have repeatedly harassed the coast, and it has not stopped in the past 30 or [-] years since the founding of the country.

But even so, he never thought that the situation of the Japanese pirates would be so complicated - the water village was occupied by the Japanese pirates, but there was nothing to do in the place, and even if Huamanlou did not collect information about the Japanese pirates, the court would not have known about it. , isn't it strange?

And looking at Hua Manlou's expression, there are more inside stories, how many shocking things are there?

Emperor Guangxing's first reaction was: Hua Manlou cannot be allowed to continue talking.

This is not to cover up the scandal in the court, but to protect Huamanlou. After all, after the cover is lifted today, many ghosts and monsters will jump out, followed by all kinds of open and hidden arrows.He is a ten-year-old boy, can he catch it?

At this time, Emperor Guangxing regretted it very much, regretting that he had recruited Hua Manlou to the early court without having a private chat with Hua Manlou first--knowing that this Zhuzi would be astonishing and deadly at every turn, why bother to let him show off?

But just as he was about to stop Hua Manlou, Hua Manlou continued: "Nie Butang, now do you know why I spend so much time messing with the Navy Fleet? You don't care about the fleet anymore." I don’t understand, but you must have seen the artillery. The effective range of the artillery installed on the new warships... Oh, that is, the distance for a single shot to cause damage is about four miles. A battleship is equipped with 42 guns. This gunboat may be able to fight against Japanese pirates."

After hearing Hua Manlou talk about this, Emperor Guangxing heaved a sigh of relief and did not stop him.

"Which lord said just now... His Majesty doesn't support an army that eats for free? To be honest, since the Tianjin Sanwei was merged into the Tianjin Navy, it has been drilled and trained every day. In the past few months, it can't be said that it can be built into an iron-blooded army." The teacher, but it looks like that anyway, at least it is much better than the farmers in the guard who put down their farm tools and go to battle, and I can guarantee that they will not collapse like the guard when facing Japanese pirates. The young soldiers who fought against Oara in the past are a model."

Hearing these words, some generals nodded frequently. After all, everyone saw the immobile state of Xishanwei's attack on Wala, and now 4000 people in Linshanwei were killed by three hundred Japanese pirates, and it was clearly written in the army newspaper—— Anyone with a little knowledge knows that the most important thing in a war is morale. If morale collapses, no matter how many people you have, you will not be able to defeat the few elites.

Therefore, if the Tianjin navy really had good weapons and fighting spirit as Hua Manlou said, then the Japanese pirates really fought.

After Hua Manlou taunted Nie Wenbing and the civil servant, he turned to Emperor Guangxing and said, "Your Majesty, the Tianjin navy is gradually on the right track, and now the minister's plan is to let them go out to sea to meet a small group of Japanese pirates." I think that an army that has never been on the battlefield cannot be called an elite, because the elite is made by fighting. Only by constantly fighting and summarizing gains and losses can we build a navy that will make the enemy fearful. Only when these lawless Japanese pirates are hurt can the Japanese pirates not dare to offend easily, and at this point, there is hope for Pingwa."

Emperor Guangxing nodded and said: "That's right, if you don't hurt him, I'm afraid anyone will think that Zhao is easy to bully."

The reason is very simple, even the children in the village know that if they are stronger and grow up, other children will not dare to bully him, but these officials who have read the sage books in the middle of the court can't figure it out—or, They didn't want to fix things at all.

"Your Majesty, this is the most fundamental reason why I said that there is nothing to do with the Japanese pirates." Hua Manlou said seriously: "That is to say, Da Zhao does not have the ability to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates now. But there are ways, Weichen invested most of Xishan's harvest into Tianjin Wei, in order to build a navy that can fight, can fight, and is not afraid of fighting, and then use the battle as a substitute for training, starting from the small group of Japanese pirates, and gradually making himself stronger Get up, and then you can kill the Japanese pirates. So..."

Smiling towards Nie Wenbing, Hua Manlou said in a tone of adoration and admiration: "Your Majesty, I really did not expect Nie Butang to be so jealous and hate Japanese pirates so much. Since he has this heart, I feel that... Do you want Nie Butang to follow the humble officials to fight the Japanese pirates?"

"I……"

Everyone in the hall was caught off guard by this sharp turn, and Nie Wenbing almost shouted the words "I'm not going" out of desperation.

Can I go?

If he took Huamanlou to the governor's southeast, Lao Nie had countless ways to kill Huamanlou, but if he followed Huamanlou on a boat to Pingwa, there were countless ways for Huamanlou to kill him. There are many different ways to die, such as accidentally falling into the sea, accidentally hitting a drifting arrow, being unable to bear the pain of the turbulence at sea, and so on.

But is it plausible to prevaricate at this time?

When he blocked Huamanlou in the corner at the beginning, he said that he was going to fight against the Japanese for the sake of the people and the people in his hometown. Manlou took out the whole Pingwa strategy and invited him to go with him. He couldn't say that he was afraid, could he?

What's more terrible is that at the beginning, he only wanted to take advantage of righteousness to bring Huamanlou to Pingwa. As for how to Pingwa, he hadn't thought about it. It is not easy to stand up when no one in the hall stands up.

But who would have thought that Huamanlou not only had a plan, but also started to prepare for it, and now it is waiting to be implemented...

So now, in a hurry, where did Nie Shangshu come up with a strategy to pacify the Japanese that is more brilliant than Huamanlou to refute?

The form was completely reversed, and now it was Hua Manlou who set him on fire, in a dilemma.

But Emperor Guangxing was more benevolent after all, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The building is full of flowers, don't mess around! Nie Qing is old, how can she endure the suffering of the storm?"

Hua Manlou said with a gloomy expression: "Your Majesty, isn't this minister watching Nie Butang just kowtow for a long time, does he feel like he will kowtow to death here if he doesn't want to let him go? If His Majesty refuses to let him go, he will Continue to kowtow here...Weichen can't keep pulling him, can he?"

Emperor Guangxing was so angry that he wanted to slap him: Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted? Lao Nie finally calmed down and you still provoke him?Take the bamboo shoots!

It was indeed very hurtful, and Nie Wenbing felt ashamed, but he had nothing to say.

Just when he gritted his teeth and was about to accept the matter first, and then signaled to his followers to stop him, he suddenly found Hua Manlou smiling sinisterly at him.

The ultimate move, how could it be revealed at the beginning?

352. Wei Chen...willing to go!

Watching Hua Manlou turn the whole situation around while chatting and laughing, Elder Wen Ge secretly sighed again: Talented people, why do you have to vote for a noble child?

A 16-year-old boy, not only has unique insights in all aspects, but also has no vain in court battles. Fighting and fighting are even easier. This kind of talent can be the chief assistant of the cabinet after a little training and accumulation. Why is it a noble material?

But Uncle Huai'an had another idea: that's right, just do it like this.If you don't hit a few early birds, you really think my Hua family is easy to bully?

Ying Guogong was the most unkind one, and he came out to make up for Nie Wenbing again: "Uncle Xishan, I said earlier that Nie Butang is too old to suffer from such ups and downs, where did you hear? If you are not at ease holding the line, I will go with you!"

On the surface, he was complaining, but in fact, he was trying to run on Nie Wenbing—when he said the same thing before, old Nie shook his head, crying and shouting to go to the southeast to Pingwo, so now your behavior It can't be too much difference, right?Otherwise, where is your awe-inspiring intention just now?

Huamanlou admitted his mistake on the surface with grievances, but in his heart he cheerfully praised his father-in-law: No wonder everyone said that it's not like the family doesn't stay in the same house, you're so familiar with playing tricks!Look at how beautiful this reason is, hold on!

The tacit cooperation between Weng and his son-in-law made Nie Wenbing have to show his performance. Otherwise, if the same thing is inconsistent, some people will really doubt his intentions. After all, it is still a plan to kill Huamanlou, just to stab it out. Others will also suspect that this is a slander and rumor, but if he does not go dark on the road of Pingwa, most people who tell this story will believe it.

In addition, if you die, you will die. Anyway, it is already unprecedented. If you can pull Huamanlou into the water together, it might not be a way of revenge-the official of the Ministry of Rites will follow you to 'press the formation', but you get rid of it, so When His Majesty wants to protect you, he has to consider the mood of the courtiers. How much energy do you have after the end?By the time……

As soon as Nie Wenbing thought of this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am willing to follow Xishanbo to suppress the Japanese pirates! If the Japanese pirates are not peaceful, the humble minister will be in trouble every day. I will go and kill a few more thieves with my old body. It can be regarded as repaying His Majesty's kindness in case!"

"I said, no!"

After Emperor Guangxing finished speaking, he gave Hua Manlou a hard look: You bastard, why are you running on him?This old guy is as stubborn as a donkey, but if you let him go to sea for two days, he will die half-life. At that time, people will not only say that I am unkind and mean, but also say that you have killed courtiers by messing around all over the building. Who is it good for?

Hua Manlou quickly pulled Nie Wenbing up again, and said sincerely: "Nie Butang, I apologize to you, I was just joking, don't take it to heart. It's us young people who fight and kill Japanese pirates. Alright, when you go, do you want us to protect you or kill thieves? The so-called old people do their best, if you don’t go to Pingwa, you can’t share your worries with us young people, and you can’t escort us young people? There are still many things to do!"

Anyone who listens to these words will feel at ease. This can be regarded as a step for Nie Wenbing, and he can easily follow this down.So after hearing this, a large number of civil servants who didn't know the truth couldn't help but secretly nodded, and their sense of Huamanlou improved a lot.

Chaotang, who is also playing with worldly wisdom.

However, Nie Wenbing felt chills when he heard these words, he knew what was wrong with Huamanlou.

and……

Not only did he know, but a certain elder also knew, so he immediately went out to follow Hua Manlou's words and said, "That's the truth. Your Majesty, I was a little puzzled by what Hua Manlou said just now. In Nanri Shuizhai, which is close to Chichi, why did the local government do nothing? Even if Huamanlou was not preparing for the Pingwo to collect information, the court and the central government would know nothing about this matter? Weichen thinks that this matter should be investigated checked."

After a pause, Old Wen said again: "Besides, the major defeat of Chongming this time, the problem exposed is not only the low combat power of the guards, and the lack of fighting spirit in the army. General Weichen has read the report again and again, but there is always a doubt. If you don’t want to go, that is: Why are the Japanese pirates so bold that they dare to attack Chongming Island where the Linshan Guard is stationed?”

"My ministers have always only heard that when the imperial army arrived, the Japanese pirates would either flee into the sea or flee everywhere, but they had never heard of the Japanese pirates daring to attack the guard post, let alone the Japanese pirates daring to rob the guard post. So I think that there must be a reason for this."

"Your Majesty, the situation on the southeast front line has reached the point where it has to be dealt with. It is not only the Japanese pirates that need to be calmed down, but also some daring monsters and monsters. I feel that Mr. Nie, who is jealous and hateful, may go and see for His Majesty. What kind of situation is this southeast in the end, why is it so corrupt? This move can frighten Xiaoxiao, escort Huamanlou of Pingwo, and allow Gong Nie to contribute to His Majesty... "

Hua Manlou almost burst out laughing when he heard the words: My father-in-law is awesome!There are many father-in-laws, so there are such benefits?Why don't we see who is pleasing to the eye in the court and marry his daughter back home?

Originally, he wanted to fiddle with this matter himself, but who would have thought that Old Wen, who had seen through the situation, would steal the show.It's not that the old man is unkind, but that the weight of Lao Wen's mouth is different. The effect of this attack is hundreds of times better than his Huamanlou. Even if Lao Nie shirks, he can't evade it—after all, Wen Ge is always against Guang The influence of Emperor Xing...

"What Mr. Wen said is very true. Nie Qing, don't make things difficult for me. How about doing what Mr. Wen wants?"

Sure enough, Emperor Guangxing immediately made a decision.

Hua Manlou stood aside in a dignified manner, and gave himself a compliment when he heard the words: Well, look at this pit, how big, how round, and how deep!

More importantly than digging a hole, some things in the southeast are really too dirty, so dirty that you can't see it. After Nie Wenbing went there, he checked the mud and brought out the carrots, which will definitely make some people pay the price. .Even if Lao Nie was killed there, the crime would not be covered up. The death of a minister would surely make Emperor Guangxing even more angry, so he would continue to intensify his efforts to clean up the situation in the southeast.

This can be regarded as Hua Manlou's contribution to the flower growers as a flower rabbit.

And Nie Wenbing was sweating profusely on his back when he heard the words, and his body trembled uncontrollably: It's over, it's over.

Huamanlou lifted the cover of the southeast, and when he saw that those dirty and sinful things were about to jump out, he threw him Nie Wenbing into the wind with a thud, but he flinched and stood innocently. Watch the fun from a distance.

But if Nie Wenbing investigates these things, he will certainly provoke some villains who are enough to be found out to be enough to take risks. One mistake will be death without a whole body; Do you mind opening the lid wider, or continue to step on Nie Wenbing, so that he can feel the pressure from the court, and he has to check if he doesn't.
