The local government offices in the Ming Dynasty often used front offices and lived in the backyard. Although there was a tradition of not building yamen, the place of residence in the backyard was often gorgeous.

But the Governor was very good. In fact, this was only the third Governor of the Ming Dynasty. The first two were Governor Xuanda and Governor Ji Liao. Hu Zongxian only used the Governor's Office as an office place, and chose other places for residence and secret talks with his staff.

Qian Yuan is familiar with this place. It was the place where Wang Minying and Hu Zongxian served as governors of Zhejiang one after another... Poor, Ruan E, the current governor of Zhejiang, is no wonder he is stationed in Jiaxing Prefecture.

Qian Yuan took a few glances and was much more beautiful than when Wang Min was before. He also built a new garden, a rockery with strange stones and gurgling springs, which had a unique artistic conception.

"This was made by Li Tianchong when he was in office." Wang Yin said casually: "Since the introduction of the organization method, the financial resources in the southeast have been tight. It is necessary to support the official army and the new army. There are so many things... Hey, the money is always insufficient."

"But the Governor did not use the money for his own traces." Shen Mingchen shook his fan and drove away the flying mosquitoes, "I hope Zhan will return to Gingdo to explain in the future."

Tonight, there were secret talks at the former governor's yamen. In addition to Hu Zongxian and Qian Yuan, only Wang Yin, Shen Mingchen and Zheng Ruozeng, were all old friends of Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan glanced at Zheng Ruozeng's frown and asked with a smile: "Mr. Boru doesn't seem to agree with this?"

Zheng Ruozeng's face changed and he smiled bitterly: "It's not like that, it's just something..."

"It's just to be honest." Hu Zongxian's voice came from behind, and he walked slowly, "I sent envoys to sea and sent a lot of money secretly, but I was determined to go on my own."

"Zhancai didn't know anything." Shen Mingchen hurriedly explained: "Now the Japanese pirates invaded all over the coast as usual, but the Japanese pirate leaders Wang Zhi and Xu Hai started a war, and it has been more than a year since then..."

"Okay, Jiaze, Zhancai can't know where." Wang Yin smiled and said, "Although it's cool here, there are too many mosquitoes, how about going to the pavilion to drink tea?"

Everyone sat in the pavilion and poured Wuyuan green tea. Hu Zongxian asked his servants to retreat, and even his two sons drove them away. Then he spoke: "Others say that Hu Ruzhen took office as governor of Zhejiang and was promoted to governor of Zhejiang. The Japanese turmoil in the southeast gradually became quelled, but that was just a rural talk."

"General Zong Li was defeated in Jiaxing, and he had to transfer Lu Tong and his son to move. General Qi Jiguang of Ning Shaotai was quite talented in military strategy, but he only had a thousand soldiers under his command. It would be useful for recruiting the new army faction at least several months..."

"So Dongweng sent an envoy to delay the army and to inquire about military information." Zheng Ruozeng explained in detail: "Wang Zhi and Xu Hai started the war for about 10 years, and they were basically on the sea. No one except the Japanese pirates witnessed it with their own eyes. Although many people were inquiring, they were only half aware of it."

Shen Mingchen sighed: "Dong Weng is good at planning a country, but not by planning a person..."

The three except Hu Zongxian all looked at it. Qian Yuan smiled and raised his teacup and sipped his sip, but did not answer. This is a fact. Hu Zongxian made contributions to the country, but eventually lost due to the struggle of the court. He also committed suicide because of an imitation of imperial edict that no one believed, leaving behind the saying "The sword buried the injustice and the loyal soul surrounds the white clouds."

For example, Zheng Ruozeng and Wang Yin hoped that Qian Yuan would join Hu Zongxian's shogunate, because they hoped that Qian Yuan could communicate with the court, while Shen Mingchen hoped that Qian Yuan's existence could leave a way out for Hu Zongxian.

In fact, this is in line with the historical facts. After Hu Zongxian committed suicide, Shen Mingchen ran around and shouted for him and wrote an inscription for him. He admired Hu Zongxian the most in the shogunate, which has a lot to do with Shen Mingchen being a Ningbo native.

He knew Qian Yuan well, so he put down the teacup and asked with a smile: "I can't explain clearly, who did you give the heavy money to?"

"What's the difference between Wang Zhi and Xu Hai? Or do you say it's with me? Who did you say you gave it to?" Wang Yin cursed with a smile: "But Wang Zhi didn't react much to this. Speaking of which, if he gave it to Xu Hai, it might have some effect."

"Xu Hai is like a Mongol. As long as he has money, he is willing to do anything." Shen Mingchen responded casually.

Zheng Ruozeng shook his head, "It's not that Wang Zhi doesn't like money, he is thinking about opening a ban on trade in the sea."

"But this is absolutely impossible." Wang Yin said as he looked at Qian Yuan.

"It is impossible in a short period of time." Qian Yuan nodded, "If the Japanese pirates are not destroyed, the ban on sea will never be allowed in the court, let alone trade."

"Besides, if you learn from your mistakes, how did Ligang be destroyed back then?"

"Old Wang Zhi would not be so stupid that he still believes in the promises of the Southeast government."

Qian Yuan held the empty teacup in his hand and pondered for a moment, saying, "As early as the previous year, I said that Wang Zhi and Xu Haifei are the same type of people. Wang Zhi is controllable, but Xu Hai is unable to control it."

Now the two of them have their own internal struggles, which are both pros and cons for the Southeast. They have been trained for a little longer, but once one side is completely defeated and the other side annexes the losers, their strength will inevitably increase greatly.

Whether you want to make profits or prepare in advance, inquiring about military information is the top priority.

But one thing to be clear is that Wang Zhi can survive and Xu Hai will die.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. In fact, after Wang Zhi went west from Ligang, although he was not in good condition, he did not invade in large quantities. The major storms that caused several times were all good things that Xu Hai did. Once Xu Hai defeated Wang Zhi and his strength increased greatly, he would inevitably raise his troops to invade again. By then, there would be no more Ning Ri in the southeast.

"I'm going west to Taizhou soon, and I might be able to find out some inside information."

Qian Yuan’s meaning is very clear. I am willing to contribute to the Southeast anti-Japanese war, but if I enter the Hu Zongxian shogunate, then don’t mention it again.

After quieting in the pavilion for a while, Hu Zongxian nodded slowly, "Now there are Tan Zili, Jingchuan Duke, and Qi Jiguang in Taizhou. I hope Zhan will be willing to help you."

"It should be so. They are all old friends in Zhan Cai... Oh, Tan Zili is not old friends." Wang Yin smiled and said, "If you have any news, please send it directly."

Zheng Ruozeng and Shen Mingchen were not very familiar, but Hu Zongxian knew it. He and Wang Yin had a clear idea. Qian Yuan had talked about this topic privately. His understanding of Wang Zhi and Xu Hai was not heard of. It is very likely that there were eyeliners among Japanese pirates, and this eyeliner was not very low.

Qian Yuan didn't think so deeply. After agreeing to the promise, he sighed: "The sea ban was opened and traded, and the enemy turned into business, and the sea ban was strictly enforced, and the merchant turned into a enemy. But the officials in the court ignored this. Who was the mistake?"

"No matter what, only by inquiring about everything at sea can we decide what to do next."

"But there is one thing that the Governor hopes to pay attention to. Even if the Japanese turmoil gradually subsides and the DPRK intends to open a sea ban to trade, there will be elite guards along the coast and military ships on the sea."

Compared with two years ago, Hu Zongxian became thinner, but energetic and had a bright eye. He nodded and said, "Qi Jiguang defeated the Japanese several times, and he was almost ineffective. He is now recruiting new recruits in Yiwu for training; Wusong Deputy General Dong Bangzheng and Taizhou Tongzhi, Tang Shunzhi, have made great progress in choosing places to build ships."

Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said, "It is said that Qi Yuanjing's military strategy was born from Zhancai, so is it true?"

"By the way, the defeated Japanese people are not harmed. The first battle was outside Huating City. At that time, Zhan Cai falsely reported it..."

Shen Mingchen said seriously: "Qi Yuanjing went to Taizhou for the first battle. When the Japanese pirates saw the bamboo spear, they exclaimed, "The Broom Star is coming... The Japanese pirates did not dare to step forward and retreat one after another!"

In recent years, Japanese pirates have suffered losses when they meet Qian Yuan. In Ningguo Prefecture, the Japanese pirates said that Qian Yuan had the nickname of broom star on the sea, which is not fake. Now this nickname has been circulated in the mainland.
