In the blink of an eye, in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the new newspaper was once again published as scheduled.
After reading the newspaper, everyone inside and outside Xingji City breathed a sigh of relief.
The headline this time was also big news, but it was just a wildfire that occurred in Ruinan Mountain. The wildfire was extinguished by the efforts of the local government, people and the Central Army Corps, and it did not have much impact.
Ministry of War Yamen.
"Feng Haohan!" Guan Yi said the name coldly through his teeth with a livid face.
boom!
In the end, he was so angry that he punched the desk in front of him.
A few days ago, Lin Hanmo was beaten to a pulp at Dinghai Pier, which exposed various problems of the Central Army Corps.
For example, military discipline is loose and procrastinating; officers and soldiers are poorly trained and of varying quality; vanguards are greedy for life and afraid of death, so much so that superiors and subordinates are ineffective...
When Guanyi received the battle report, he immediately felt like a shark smelling blood, and his eyes turned red with excitement.
In recent years, the military department under his command seems to be majestic, but in fact it is downright useless.
Except for the East China Sea Barrier, the other frontier armies have almost no say in the Ministry of War. The only thing Guanyi can do is to count the military merits of the opponent after the battle and promote or demote its generals according to the rules.
Now that the Central Army had an opening, he quickly ordered people to go to Ruinan Mountain to collect intelligence and prepare to lure some people down.
As a result, a fire suddenly broke out in the Ruinan Mountains, killing many people...
That’s not true!
Guan Yi looked at the heavy snow flying in the sky outside, feeling dizzy with anger.
How could such heavy snow cause wildfires?
As for the unlucky ones who were burned to death, he knew who they would be even if he thought about it with the sole of his feet.
This is simply a murderous attempt to cover up or even conceal the truth.
Guanyi immediately took the newspaper and went into the palace angrily to explain the situation to Emperor Changxing.
As a result, he was stopped as soon as he arrived at the palace gate.
King Qin came out of nowhere and looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Master Shangshu, my father has been unwell recently and has asked me to take over my duties temporarily. If you have anything to do, please tell me first..."
Guan Yi hesitated for a while, then said sadly "It's okay", then turned around and hurried back to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
The legions in Yunchui are in a strong position, and the supervisors sent by their military department either stay low and live cautiously, or rely on their backers to make ends meet, trying not to offend anyone.
If you don't obey,
During the Nanfeng War three years ago, the Ministry of War happily sent a few supervisory troops to southern Xinjiang. As a result, no one has been seen alive or dead...
Guanyi didn't have much evidence at this time. Even if he saw Emperor Changxing, he wouldn't be able to explain it, and he might even be scolded.
He could only go back to the Yamen and sulk or think of other solutions.
Palace City, Yangxin Hall.
Phew~
Emperor Changxing didn't know what happened at the gate of the imperial city. After listening to the newspaper read by Chang Lu, he let out a long sigh.
It was almost the end of the twelfth lunar month, so he could seal the pen and seal soon, and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.
At this time, Emperor Changxing did not want to see shocking news somewhere like "Beijing Customs was breached by Japanese pirates within two days" or "Japanese pirates' large fleet approached the coast of Huayang County".
As for the wildfire in Ruinan County, as long as it does not affect the Ruinan Racecourse and the Central Army Corps garrison, burning a few people to death is not a problem at all.
He didn't bother to ask.
————
"Sir," Zuo Dailang of the Ministry of War glanced eastward, "We can't squeeze in from Ruinan Mountain, why not try Huayang County?"
In addition to the Central Army Corps, Dingma Haitou now also has the East China Sea Barrier, the northern garrison and even the Zhennanguan Fleet that just arrived.
There, Feng Haohan couldn't cover the sky with one hand like he did in Ruinan County.
Guanyi pondered.
Being able to serve as one of the six ministers of the Ministry of War, he is not a mother-in-law person, so he nodded and agreed after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, immediately send people to Huayang County and Pinghai County to try to collect evidence of the Central Army Corps' crimes."
At this time, Huayang County can be said to be calm, but Jiuyuan County in the north is experiencing trouble.
On the snowy sea, a small fishing boat rowed hard towards the seaside against the wind.
The black soil on the small fishing boat was so cold that my nose froze, but the dark face was full of excitement.
In the afternoon, they were still some distance away from the shore, but Ji Heitu's excited voice had already spread far away.
"Brothers on the shore, please report to Lord Lieutenant that we have captured several Japanese pirate messengers at sea."
Five days ago, their small fishing boat turned off the lights as usual and moored silently at the junction of the East China Sea and the North Sea to continue to watch.
At midnight, in the depths of the ocean, it was almost invisible, and the same boat with its lights turned off was sailing southward with the wind.
It was freezing cold and the night was as dark as ink. The Japanese pirates on the boat never expected that there would be people squatting on the mast looking around. As a result, Ji Heitu and the others discovered them first.
Then he tried his best to meet him.
Before several Japanese pirate envoys could react, their boat was knocked upside down. After falling into the water, several people quickly froze to death, and were finally caught one by one.
There was a commotion among the defenders on the shore.
This is quite rare.
They saw and caught many of the Japanese pirates' ordinary soldiers, but their messengers or messengers were almost never caught.
Usually when two sides meet, most of the other side will commit suicide if they cannot escape, leaving no chance for Yun Chui's soldiers to catch him alive.
Not long after, Mo Canghai rushed to the shore in a hurry.
He glanced at the bundled Japanese messengers in the cabin, and gave a big hug to the four Ji Heitu who had just landed ashore.
"Thank you for your hard work. Thank you very much for your hard work. I will mark your merits and give you a big holiday."
Tsk tsk.
Mo Canghai shook his head in thought.
"It was you who discovered the true whereabouts of the Japanese pirate fleet last time, and it's you who caught the Japanese pirate's messenger this time. If the Japanese pirate's general were here, he would probably hate you to death."
Ji Heitu and the others did not expect that the Commander-in-Chief, who was busy with everything, would actually remember them. They were surprised and happy, and for a while they completely forgot about the coldness and fatigue on their bodies.
hey-hey.
Ji Heitu scratched his head in disbelief.
"Your Excellency, this is an honor. It's just a coincidence that a few of my subordinates did this."
After saying that, he quickly sent over the collected information.
Mo Canghai glanced at it for a few times, and was suddenly shocked and angry.
The Yunchui Empire is prosperous and rich with profound cultural heritage, and the surrounding countries have always been yearning for it. However, most of them do not have their own writing, so both the official and the private sector are proud to be proficient in Yunchui characters.
There were not many words in the information in front of him, but they were all Yun Chuiwen that Mo Canghai was familiar with.
"The air quality at Beihaiguan is serious and there is not much food stored. It is advisable to continue attacking Huayang County to relieve the food crisis."
Mo Canghai suddenly realized.
No wonder this majestic pass was captured by Japanese pirates so quickly.
I see.
"Come here," he put away the information coldly, "find some brothers who can speak the Japanese pirate language and greet them properly."
We will never stop until we find out how old they were when they started wetting the bed and how old they were when they started peeking at the widow's bath.
There was a moment of hesitation around him, and many people looked embarrassed.
Yunchui is rich, and only the small barbarian countries around it have come to learn the Yunchui language. Few Yunchui people have come to learn their language, so the request of the Lord Commander is probably not easy to handle.
But if you want to look for it, you can still find it.
