In February, the capital city seemed to be bright in spring. The fields that were originally covered with snow had slowly melted away. Some earth dams had grown tender green grass, and spring plowing was gradually begun to be carried out among the people.

This year is neither the external inspection nor the Beijing inspection, and the whole court seems very calm. Farming and borrowing gifts is the biggest thing in the capital in February. I thought this month would have passed, but a postman carrying a document patted his horse. Run into Beijing.

After Hu Zongxian drove the Japanese pirates away from the coastal areas of Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Japanese pirates fled to Fujian along the coastline. At the end of the previous year, a group of Japanese pirates who gathered several forces to capture the Xinghua Prefecture in Fujian, which made the Ming court extremely angry.

The court first dismissed the Fujian Governor You Zhende and changed it to Tan Lun as the Fujian Governor. Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general, was appointed as the general of Fujian. Zhejiang Deputy General Qi Jiguang led Zhejiang troops to aid Fujian. Guangdong General Liu Xian led Guangdong and Guangxi troops into Fujian.

The war to recapture Huacheng was not smooth at the beginning. Because Qi Jiguang wanted to recruit new recruits to expand the Qi family's army, even if he invented "Guangbang" to rush on his way, he did not arrive in Fuzhou until early April last year.

During this period, the commander of Fujian Ouyang Shen was caught in the ambush and died in battle, and the Japanese pirates also occupied Pinghaiwei.

Fujian Governor Tan Lun first set up fences on various sea routes to block the return of Japanese pirates. Then Tan Lun used Liu Xian as the left army and Yu Dayou as the right army. Tan Lun led the central army and Qi Jiguang as the vanguard.

Qi Jiguang's army first arrived, and the left and right troops followed him, and then defeated the Japanese pirates, revived Xinghua, beheaded 2,200 people, rescued more than 3,000 men and women who were looted, and the Japanese pirates were severely injured and left.

On July 16, Tan Lun reported the victory in Xinghua, and appointed Qi Jiguang as the leader and became the governor. Then, Guangdong General Liu Xian was appointed as the General of Langshan, Yu Dayou took over as the General of Guangdong, and Qi Jiguang took over as the General of Fujian.

However, the remaining Japanese pirates in Xinghua were unwilling to fail, but kept wandering in Fujian. They received help from Japanese pirates from Japan, gathered more than 10,000 people again and chose to attack Xianyou County, Xinghua Prefecture.

Qi Jiguang led his troops to support Xianyou County and fought with the Japanese at the city. The Japanese were defeated and fled to Tong'an. Qi Jiguang took advantage of the victory to pursue him and led his troops to Wangcangping, beheading hundreds of levels, and fell into the cliff and valley without any calculation.

Thousands of other Japanese soldiers fled to Caipiling, Zhangpu County. Qi Jiguang divided his troops into five posts to attack, supervised the sentry to fight to the death, rushed into the Japanese nest, and captured and killed hundreds of people until the Japanese pirates scattered.

The problem of Japanese attacks in Fujian, which was extremely bad last year, was suddenly reversed with the emergence of the famous general Qi Jiguang.

Good news came one after another, and almost at the same time, a good news came from Guangdong.

A group of Japanese pirates from Japan gathered and occupied Nan'ao Island to invade Chaozhou. Wu Chunfang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, sent Guangdong General Yu Dayou to lead the territory, and Han soldiers attacked the Japanese pirates in Haifeng County.

This group of Japanese pirates who had just landed in saw that Guangdong was so brave, and the Japanese pirates behind chose to temporarily retreat to the sea, but were overthrown by the storms at the sea (destroyed by the joint fleet).

Guangdong General Yu Dayou and Deputy General Li Mu encircled and suppressed more than 2,000 Japanese pirates, captured and killed more than 1,200 people. The rest fled to Chaozhou and were intercepted and killed by Chaozhou Gang generals.

These Japanese pirates who were preparing to attack Guangdong were almost destroyed. They had successfully dispelled the arrogance of the Japanese pirates and greatly gained the prestige of the Ming army.

These two battle reports arrived at the Ministry of War and were sent to the palace as soon as possible.

The Japanese pirate problem that has plagued the southeast for decades seems to have been cured. If local officials did not make false claims of military achievements, there would be no trace of large Japanese pirates in the southeast.

Yuan Wei came out of Wanshou Palace in a hurry, his whole face seemed to be full of eyebrows, and he even held two good news in his hand.

If we want to talk about which court boss is most concerned about the Japanese attacks, it is probably this secondary assistant who came from Ningbo Prefecture. He hopes that the family members can live a stable life.

The Ming Dynasty and the Japanese pirates have been competing for decades, but for many times, the Ming Dynasty was in a passive state of being beaten, and was once killed by fifty-three Japanese pirates under the city of Nanjing.

In the 34th year of Jiajing, the battle of Wangjiangjing was beheaded in more than 1980 levels, which was the largest victory since the Jiajing Dynasty. Now that the two places have achieved such excellent achievements, how can Yuan Wei not be excited, and the Japanese entrenched on their heads beside the Japanese

The dark clouds seemed to be wiped out.

Yuan Wei went straight to the cabinet's duty room and said excitedly to Xu Jie who was planning a memorial: "Master Yuan Fu, good news came from Fujian and Guangdong. Fujian cleared thousands of Japanese people from Xinghua, and killed nearly two Japanese pirates in Guangdong.

Thousands of people, estimated that thousands of Japanese pirates are hiding in the sea.”

Xu Jie was dealing with the matter of sending all places in batches by the examiner of the provincial examination. When he heard this news, he was slightly stunned at first, and then responded calmly: "Maozhong, where did this news come from?"

"This is the good news that the Ministry of War has just sent to the palace. The emperor asked me to bring it back to discuss with you!" Yuan Wei put the two good news on Xu Jie's desk and explained seriously.

As "Xingdu Zhi" approaches its end, Yuan Wei has more energy to share government affairs and wins the full trust of the emperor. The number one master of Qingci is not the chief assistant Xu Jie, but the second assistant Yuan Wei.

.

It was also coincidental that he happened to talk to the emperor in Wanshou Palace, and he received the good news from the Ministry of War, and the emperor asked him to take it back to the cabinet to discuss.

Although Xu Jie was from Songjiang Prefecture, the Japanese pirates could hardly reach the city of Songjiang, so they were not too enthusiastic about the Japanese attacks. Instead, they were more concerned about the emperor's direct victory to Yuan Wei for discussion.

Although this action is not too much, we can see from now on that the emperor values ​​Yuan Wei. Maybe the emperor will directly replace himself with Yuan Wei in the future.

Xu Jie felt quite uncomfortable, but pretended to focus on the good news and read the two good news carefully, thus hiding his wariness towards Yuan Wei.

Naturally, Yuan Wei would not make any false claims on such major events. The battle situation was clearly stated on the good news and the number of Japanese killings this time. Especially in Fujian, the Ming army suffered almost no losses, and it was already a general.

The remaining Japanese pirates in Xinghua were almost killed.

"Master Yuan Fu, we should reward you with such great achievements!" Yuan Wei was in a hurry and immediately proposed.

The reason why he mentioned that he should give a heavy reward: First, this suggestion is in line with the consistent regulations on rewards and punishments; second, he has long hated the Japanese ills, and now he is considered to be "repaying his favors". He helps these meritorious soldiers to seek credit regardless of personal gains and losses.

Xu Jie gently put down the two good news, but said lightly: "This matter should be rewarded and punished in this way, and it will be handed over to the Ministry of War for discussion first!"

He returned the lord with his power and blessings, returned the government affairs to the various departments, and returned the public with the use of punishment and rewards. Under Xu Jie's twenty-character ruling philosophy, he now got along friendly with the six ministers of the ministry and gradually won the reputation of a virtuous prime minister.

Now that he encountered this, he did not intend to make a decision directly in the cabinet, but wanted to listen to the opinions of the Ministry of War, which was to give full respect and power to the Minister of War Yang Bo.

"Lord Yuanfu, there is no need to listen to Yang Puzhou's opinion on this matter!" Yuan Wei frowned slightly, and expressed his opinion with dissatisfaction.
Chapter completed!
