Don’t call it unforeseen

Feng Yibo's memorial to report his merits reached the Nanjing Ministry of War.

A great victory revealed the sagging skin of Jiangnan's military preparedness.

But it didn't cause much reaction.

On the contrary, the inconspicuous Jianzhen Nunnery incident caused a stir in all parties.

In a secret residence in Jinling.

Zou Desheng sat in a soft chair and listened to the report from his subordinates.

After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:

"It seems that our Dragon Scale Guards have not fulfilled our responsibilities!"

"There are actually Japanese pirates hiding under your nose?"

He stood up from the soft chair and stretched slowly.

He moved his neck again and said lightly:

"Send the order, except for Yeshan Yuan, all other temples and temples will be thoroughly inspected by me!"

"Anyone who colludes with the Japanese pirates will be notified to their respective yamen, and they will be dealt with by our Longlin Guards!"

His subordinates immediately bowed and clasped their fists in response, "Yes!"

After his men left, Zou Desheng smiled lazily and murmured:

“It’s been a while since I’ve been active!”

"These bald guys are the richest. I won't let you shed any blood this time. I'll write the character Zou upside down!"

At the same time, the Ministry of War issued a proclamation ordering all the state capitals in Jiangnan.

Anyone who communicates with Japanese people will be dealt with by the supervisor.

If you encounter resistance, you can act easily.

There is not much feedback in other aspects.

But within just a few days, countless monks and Taoist priests were pulled off the altar.

Or they were beaten back and forth by various government offices, and they cooperated honestly.

Or someone sent him to prison under the pretext of having his bones knocked out and his marrow sucked out.

For a time, the religious circles in Jiangnan were in turmoil.

Again, the old men of the Wei Dynasty cannot deal with the Japanese pirates.

When dealing with ordinary people, one is more active than the other.

Although these monks and Taoists usually interact with dignitaries.

But once they encounter something involving such a big thing, no one will stand up for them.

In the face of justice, no one wants to be implicated.

After Xiangshan County received the notice, it also had to write a notice and post it on the bulletin board outside the county government office.

After Feng Yibo learned about it, he strongly requested to co-write it with Wang Zhishan.

But because the words he used were too harsh, Wang Zhishan didn't even want to sign his name with him.

Finally, after thinking hard all night, he gritted his teeth and released it together.

"Our investigation revealed that Youjianzhen Temple is connected with Japanese pirates, causing harm to the countryside!"

"Japanese pirates have been wreaking havoc for many years, and if they are not severely punished, they will not be enough to deter them!"

"Without heavy rituals, it is not enough to comfort the people of Jiangnan who were harmed by Japanese pirates!"

"From now on, anyone who harbors Japanese people, enshrines Japanese haiku, etc. will be punished as treason! They will be punished by You Si Mingzhengdian!"

"Xiangshan County has jurisdiction over various villages, towns and ethnic groups!"

“Any village that harbors Japanese pirates and no one reports them will be punished by a village!”

"If a clan member harbors Japanese pirates and no one reports them, the clan will be punished!"

"There are Japanese pirates in the ancestor's grave, so they will dig up the grave and destroy it!"

"Don't say you didn't predict what you said!"

The signature is:

"Wang Zhishan, the magistrate of Xiangshan County, and Feng Yuan, the imperial envoy to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect Japanese pirates and conduct military training."

As soon as this order was issued, it immediately resounded throughout the south of the Yangtze River.

Some people wanted to take the opportunity to criticize, but they were scolded by the Jiangnan gentry.

Jiangnan has suffered from Japanese pirates for a long time!

Finally, someone won a great victory and eliminated a large group of Japanese pirates.

Do you want to impeach him?

At least wait until he completely eliminates the Japanese pirates!

And although this edict is full of violence.

But at this time when the Japanese pirates are causing trouble, it’s time to use some heavy codes!

There are also people who want to imitate Feng Yibo and announce their jurisdiction in this way.

But in the end I gave up.

After all, Feng Yibo is a special case.

He was an imperial envoy, and he had just led a great victory over a group of Japanese pirates.

Others want to learn, but natural forces fail to catch up.

If he makes an announcement like this, I'm afraid it will be read by ginseng soon.

He said that if you do this, you will disturb the people and allow the officials below to take advantage of it.

Of course, these things will not bother Feng Yibo for the time being.

On his side, besides waiting for the Ministry of War to confirm his merits.

Just continue to prepare for the attack on Big Nose Island.

Although this night raid was a great success, the capture was not worth much.

A few hundred Japanese swords are good, and can be used to equip the soldiers.

But there is almost no wealth.

After all, they were not returning from plunder, but specifically targeting them.

The imperial court will provide certain rewards based on head count.

But it was a drop in the bucket for the new army.

Even if the reward is 30 taels per person, the full amount can be paid out.

It's just a matter of holding on for a few more months.

What's more, there is a high probability that there will be some deductions.

And it can’t all be reserved as salary.

In the first battle, you have to give the soldiers something sweet to taste.

If you want to make a fortune, you still have to rely on yourself.

"Brother Mingliang, I don't understand the navy."

Feng Yibo and Liu Zhao met at the New Army Camp and discussed cooperation.

"But this is our first time working together. You must be fully prepared and make sure nothing goes wrong."

“Brother Yibo, don’t worry!”

Hearing Feng Yibo's instructions, Liu Zhao's chest clapped loudly.

"We are not afraid of Japanese pirates at sea, and there is no need for us to land on the island, so there is absolutely no problem!"

The strength of the Jiangnan Navy is not bad, with a total of more than 800 large and small ships.

Among them, there are more than 400 warships and more than 400 transport ships.

The navy under Liu Zhao's command had 96 ships of various sizes.

On weekdays it's not like a naval force, it's more like a transport team.

Privately, I also take care of some maritime businessmen, and the money and money are quite generous.

This time he was mainly responsible for transporting the new troops there.
