Now I finally understand, why the infamous generous monk fried pine tea can be the world’s famous, hard to find a thousand dollars. This tea is like a dragon and snake rolling in the cup, a mouth into the throat, such as orchids in the tongue, refreshing; such as the spirit in the sky, floating in the sky, if there is a fairy on earth, that is not this tea. Ahem, the next official had to eat his words, the adults just said to go let me take half a can of words still count, if not count, the next official also have to shamelessly ask for half a can to take away from the adults.”
Hu Zongxian tasted a mouthful of tea, as if every pore is intoxicated, extremely respected Songluo tea, praise.
“Hahaha, this official words must be done, the line must be fruitful, natural words count, you know Song Luo tea within the rhyme, is the master of Song Luo tea, this half a pot of tea is not with you with whom? From this moment onwards, this half pot will be surnamed Hu.”
When Zhao Wenhua heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud and generously handed the half pot of tea to Hu Zongxian.
“Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your generous love, my humble servant will accept it.”
Hu Zongxian received the half pot of pineapple tea with both hands and smiled with joy, treating it like a treasure in his sleeve.
“Oh, Mei Lin’s late-night visit this time, I wonder what it’s about?” Zhao Wenhua asked with a smile.
“Reporting back to the adults, Charter although not talented, also have the annihilation of Japanese invaders, help society’s will, tonight specially came to introduce himself, in order to help the adults to pacify the southeast.” Hu Zongxian did not hide, bowed to Zhao Wenhua long bow, straightforwardly explain the intention.
“Mei Lin quickly please get up, quickly please get up, I have Mei Lin help, like a fish in the water, like a tiger to add wings, why worry about the Japanese invaders are not extinguished, why worry about the southeastern peace!”
When Zhao Wenhua heard this, he could not help but step forward with a happy face to help Hu Zongxian up, and was very satisfied with his initiative to defect.
Although gone Zhu Pingan, but came Hu Zongxian, this wave is not a loss, and even earned.
On the status of status, Hu Zongxian is His Majesty’s appointed inspector of Zhejiang, the status of status far above Zhu Pingan. On knowledge and ability, Hu Zongxian’s knowledge and ability is not weaker than Zhu Pingan, Hu Zongxian in the seventeenth year of Jiajing, at the age of 26 years old young high school scholar, although not as weak as Zhu Pingan’s year of the high school scholar so exaggerated, but compared to the same, and Hu Zongxian awarded the officer of the Qingzhou Yidu county magistrate, one of the appointment on the outstanding political talent, the first extermination of locusts, and the leveling of the mountain thieves, followed by another tour of Xuantongfu, Dazhong and other border towns, rectify military discipline, consolidation of border defence, outstanding results: and then patrol Hukuang, pacify the Miao uprising, into the career of these ten years, one step at a time, steadily rising, outstanding achievements, reputation; two months ago, His Majesty appointed Hu Zongxian out of the people in Zhejiang to patrol the Imperial Household, on which sends a son of high hopes.
Can be described as both military and civil, political talent, courageous and resourceful!
On the age of experience, Hu Zongxian age than Zhu Pingan twenty years old, experience than Zhu Pingan much richer, and work and calm and sophisticated, than Zhu Pingan this work is easy to impulsive young sophisticated.
On the knowledge of the time, their own initiative to invite Zhu Pingan, Zhu Pingan, although not completely rejected, but also did not accept, people Hu Zongxian but took the initiative to cast, more than he Zhu Pingan knowledge of the time.
This is the real handsome!
Zhang Jing only hand to cover the sky, depending on the Southeast military affairs as forbidden, do not allow others to intervene to comment, the Southeast officials on their own fear, more fear of Zhang Jing, now Hu Zongxian to cast, the Southeast of the predicament can be broken carry on.
“Now the night is already late, Meilin don’t go back, just rest in the yamen, I just happen to talk with Meilin by candlelight about the current situation in the southeast.” Zhao Wenhua pointed to the dark night outside the window to Hu Zongxian retained.
Thank you for your lordship’s compassion, then I will have the honour to stay at your Yamen for a night.” Hu Zongxian immediately answered.
Zhao Wenhua nodded his head in satisfaction, and had some wine and food organised to be sent into the study, where he and Hu Zongxian talked by candlelight.
“Meilin, I’m new here, what’s the situation with the Southeast Japanese Bureau today?” Zhao Wenhua inquired.
“Back to Your Excellency, nowadays the southeastern Japanese problem is in full swing and getting more and more serious, it’s not too much to say it’s even rotten. Since the rejection of the big Japanese chief Wang Zhi’s proposal to open the market, Wang Zhi has colluded with the Japanese invasion, hundreds of ships have arrived at the sea, thousands of miles of eastern Zhejiang, western Zhejiang, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and the coastal area have been alerted at the same time, tens of thousands of Japanese invaders have sacked the cities, fortresses, and have killed innumerable people, and the Japanese invaders have captured uncountable number of people, and have forced them to do things for them, with the women weaving during daytime, and being bullied during nighttime, and the strong men forced to be slaves, and even forced them to join the Japanese invaders as cannon fodder. even forced to join the Japanese as cannon fodder. The Japanese plundered countless properties, silks and silks, and after the plundering, they set fire to the surrounding towns and cities, and the smoke and fire were so heavy that the loss was unmeasurable, and the people suffered a lot; in addition to Wang Zhi, there were also other Japanese chiefs, such as Xu Hai and Chen Dong, who had gathered more than 40,000 Japanese invaders and encamped in the TuoLin ChuanShaFu area in Zhejiang Province, and there were new Japanese invaders converging to the area where the invaders were located, and Xu Hai, Chen Dong, and so on, would set fire to the surrounding towns, and they would do nothing to harm the surrounding towns, and they did a great deal of evils. The rest of the Japanese invaders were also ten in number. The rest of the Japanese also have more than ten gangs, but the ministry of small hundreds, more than thousands, although not so two Japanese powerful, but the harm is not small.”
Hu Zongxian sighed and briefly reported the situation of the ravaging Japanese invaders in Jiangnan to Zhao Wenhua.
“God damned Japanese invaders, even if they are small, how dare they be so rampant, the southeast is my Daming’s important tax area, the Japanese invaders wreak havoc in the southeast, seriously threatening my Daming’s financial revenue, shaking my Daming’s countryside, His Holiness is worried about this, the Japanese invaders really deserve to die!”
Zhao Wenhua smiled and said with indignation.
“What my lord said is very true, because of the influence of the Japanese invaders, all over the Jiangnan area this year paid less than 30% of the previous year’s taxes, the property that was plundered by the Japanese invaders, moreover, is not tens of thousands of tens of thousands of taels.” Hu Zongxian followed with a sigh and further added.
Hearing that so much silver was looted by the Japanese, Zhao Wenhua became even more indignant, tens of thousands of tens of thousands of silver.
“How are all parties responding to such a serious Japanese problem?” Zhao Wenhua asked again with concern after he got over from the tens of thousands of silver.
“Ai, this time, the Japanese, all over the guards are quite unbearable, the guards army generally cowardly, a encounter with the Japanese invaders, boldness, and the Japanese invaders a station will be routed like a mountain, the fighting force than the people is not much stronger than the guards can resist the Japanese invaders ten inside the less than one.”
“Governor Zhang, in view of the cowardice of the guards’ army, decided to deploy troops and conscript troops with fighting ability from abroad to come to the southeastern coast to assist in the expedition and fight against the Japanese invaders. At present, Governor Zhang has been up the original Guizhou General soldier Bai Hyeon and Guangxi Commander Zou Jifang, acting as a guerrilla general, went to Tianzhou, Quishun, Nandan, Donglan, Nadi to transfer the wolf soldiers 6,000, together with the marshal to the Zhejiang Imperial Japanese, of which the Tianzhou hereditary land official is young, can’t be a regular soldier, Wah’s wife as a substitute for the commander-in-chief of the wolf soldiers of the Tianzhou, the wolf soldiers have already been on the road, and is about to arrive; in addition to the wolf soldiers, the Governor Zhang has also transferred to the recruitment of generals Li Fengshi, Xu Guodong led Shandong gunnery 6,000 soldiers. Tong led Shandong gunmen six thousand to come to Zhejiang to defend the Japanese, also already on the road, soon to arrive.”
Hu Zongxian slowly said.
“Since Governor Zhang took office, how is the situation of the Japanese suppression?” Zhao Wenhua asked again.
“Governor Zhang is more prudent to fight the Japanese, did not wield the army to fight the Japanese, at present the main supervision of the barracks, the guards to step up the training, raise food and wages, intended to wait for the arrival of Shandong gun soldiers, Guangxi wolf soldiers, and then march to fight the Japanese invaders.”
Hu Zongxian returned.
“You have yet to wield an army to fight the Japanese after taking office?” Zhao Wenhua sniffed and narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
