Chapter 339

After the briefing, Ding Hong, the garrison officer of Chongwu Institute, received Bai Xiaowen and them.

Beside Ding Hong, there was a middle-aged scholar in green robes, reading the list of soldiers of Chongwu Institute.

When Bai Xiaowen introduced himself, he told them that they were disciples of Taoism. When they went on a practice tour outside, they saw Japanese pirates rampant and came to help the imperial court.

Before making up this lie, Bai Xiaowen had learned from scholar Xie Sheng that Jiajing still valued Taoists in the Ming Dynasty.

During the founding period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, summoned Zhang normal, the founder of Zhengyi Taoism, and named him "Zhengyi descendant religion immortal". He gave him a silver seal, which is equivalent to the official rank of second-class senior officials. After several generations of Emperors, Longhu Mountain is an authentic Taoist school.

Today's Jiajing emperor is a believer in Taoism, granting many Taoists official titles such as "Shaobao" and "Minister of Rites", and even participating in the government.

Sure enough, when I heard that Bai Xiaowen and Ding Hong were Taoist disciples, they looked a little solemn. They nodded and said, "they are Taoist disciples. Can you let me see the Du ultimatum issued by the immortal of Longhu Mountain sect?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "I have followed Xuanzong and always practiced in seclusion. I don't belong to Longhu Mountain, so I haven't had an ultimatum."

Ding Hong, the garrison of Chongwu, looked relaxed and said calmly, "since you don't have an ultimatum, why can you two prove your identity? If you are spies sent by the Japanese pirates, isn't it dangerous? Please forgive me that I can't receive you."

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Lord Ding, there is no Dudie, but my martial brother and sister can prove their innocence."

He then took out the "keepsake of Chen one eye" and showed it to Ding Hong: "this is the evidence that I killed Chen one eye, the head of the Japanese pirates. Please check it."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged scribe behind the copywriter raised his head and said with a surprised voice: "Chen Duyan? Which Chen Duyan? Is it Chen Bao under the bandit Ye Mazi?"

Bai Xiaowen said, "I don't know his real name, but he is a general under Ye Mazi, the leader of the Japanese pirates. There's nothing wrong with that."

The middle-aged scribe stood up and said happily, "Chen Bao is very fierce. He robbed Quanzhou mansion and broke Quanzhou mansion a few days ago. Many gentry and people suffered deeply. If you two really killed Chen Bao, I will report this credit to the governor."

Ding Hong, the garrison officer on one side, hurriedly introduced to Bai Xiaowen: "this is Mr. Wang, the aide under the governor's account."

The middle-aged scholar nodded and said with a smile, "I'm Wang Quan."

Bai Xiaowen let go and gave the keepsake to Wang Quan. I don't know what method Wang Quan used. After identifying it, he said with great joy: "this is the keepsake token of the Japanese bandit Chen one eye. Their credit is true and credible, and there is no half false. If you join, the Japanese chaos in the southeast can be leveled."

Prompt:

"You have been recognized by Wang Quan, an aide to Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhizhe, who is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of military and the Zuo Jindu censor of the ducha Academy."

"You joined the Anti Japanese Ming army camp."

"Your reputation in the Anti Japanese Ming army camp has greatly increased. At present, your reputation level is friendly."

"Your reputation in the Japanese pirate Wu Ping camp has decreased. At present, your reputation level is cold."

"Your reputation in the Japanese bandit Zhang Lian camp has decreased. At present, your reputation level is cold."

"Your reputation in the Japanese pirate Matsuura Longxin camp has decreased. At present, your reputation level is cold."

……

There are dozens of prompt messages, each of which represents a force of Japanese pirates. This is the influence of joining the Anti Japanese Ming army camp.

Of course, these "cold" Japanese pirates do not include the two camps of "Ye Mazi" and "Xu Hai". Because of killing Chen one eye and forcibly sailing, Bai Xiaowen's reputation in the Japanese Ye Mazi camp is hatred, while the reputation of the Japanese Xu Hai camp is hostile.

It is worth mentioning that most of the names of the heads of these Japanese forces are Chinese surnames, and the real Japanese names are only a few, such as Matsuura Longxin, Xin Jiulang and Sishu.

After joining the camp of the Anti Japanese Ming army, Bai Xiaowen asked, "Sir, when can we see the governor?"

Wang Quan obviously regarded Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowen as strange people with certain specialties. It is just the so-called learning civil and military skills, selling them to the imperial family, learning skills in the hidden world Taoist school, and it is normal to want to get a birth.

Wang Quan nodded and said with a smile, "don't worry, the governor will settle the people in Quanzhou City. This time, I've been ordered by the governor to check the first Wei and third Institute in Quanzhou City. This Chongwu Institute is just the second. When I finish checking, I'll take you back to Quanzhou City, meet the governor and tell him about your meritorious deeds."

Bai Xiaowen didn't have so much time to wait for Wang Quan to check the parade roster. The administrative efficiency of the Ming government is low. I'm afraid it will be several days after Wang Quan finishes checking.

Bai Xiaowen can't leave Wang Quan and go to Quanzhou house alone. To meet the powerful governor of Zhizhe, he and Li Shuyi must be white. Wang Quan should be the introducer. In addition, Wang Quan also wants to introduce them, which can improve his position in the heart of governor Hu Zongxian.

"Sir, I've heard that the governor has settled the people in Quanzhou. I don't know if it's going well?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

Wang Quan shook his head: "how can it go well? Quanzhou house was attacked by Japanese pirates, and almost every family of the gentry wore filial piety. All the gold, silver and goods accumulated for many years were looted... These gentry, you don't know, have made many Beijing officials who can speak in the court. The governor should pay a few points. Be careful."

Bai Xiaowen understands that Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province and the chief military officer of the Anti Japanese Ming army, has great weight, but also has great responsibility. This time the Quanzhou government was broken, he must eat the impeachment memorials.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. I can share your worries for the governor..." Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Please see what this is."

Bai Xiaowen took out items one by one, including antique calligraphy and painting, gold, silver and jade, which were all treasures taken out of the cargo hold looted by Chen one eye.

"This... The painting of back red cliff by Zhao Qianli? The bronze tripod in the first year of Huanglong? The collection of Han Changli?..."

Wang Quan's eyes widened.

Ding Hong, the garrison officer on one side, was slightly stunned and said, "little immortal Bai is an expert in Taoism. How can there be so many rare treasures?"

Wang Quan calmed his mood and said, "white little immortal, these things should have been rescued from Chen one eyed's cabin?"

Seeing Bai Xiaowen's skill of "taking things out of the storage space", Ding Hong and Wang Quan respected him a lot and began to match his words with "real people". It's just that Bai Xiaowen looks too young, which is very different from the hairy Taoist in his impression, so he added the word "small" in front of him.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Master Wang's eyes are golden. It saves me some explanation."

Wang Quan said, "how can I not see? The major families in Quanzhou prefecture have listed the list for the governor, among which is Zhao Qianli's painting of the back Red Cliff..."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, after I killed Chen one eye, I even took his boat. The treasures in the cabin haven't been sold in time. I think if I give these treasures to the governor, he should have a better time to settle the people."

Ding Hong nodded: "of course."

"Then please take me to Quanzhou as soon as possible to meet the governor," Bai Xiaowen said.

Master Wang frowned and said, "that's what I said, but I still have responsibilities..."

Bai Xiaowen gave Wang Quan the book of Han Changli's collection together with a piece of jade brush wash, and then pushed two pieces of gold to Chongwu garrison Ding Hong. He smiled and said, "Master Wang, please accept some gifts."

Mr. Wang was slightly surprised, then his face was slightly red and forced himself to say, "what do you think of me? These..."

"Although I robbed a batch of treasures from the Japanese bandit Chen one eye, many properties were lost, including this book Han Changli collection, this pen wash of the Song Dynasty, and these gold articles..." Bai Xiaowen pretended to sigh, "I've tried my best, but my manpower is sometimes poor."

Ding Hong smiled knowingly and said, "yes, it is valuable that little immortal Bai can rescue a batch of treasures. As for those lost properties, it can only be regarded as the owner's own bad luck."

"Mr. Wang, what do you think?" Bai Xiaowen asked after seeing Wang Quan's hesitation on his face.

Wang Quan coughed and said with some embarrassment, "that's right... It's lucky that some of the treasures robbed by the Japanese pirates can be recovered. I think those big gentry can't ask for more."

"Master's lesson." Bai Xiaowen smiled.

Wang Quan: "well... Little immortal Bai, this painting of the back Red Cliff should also be lost?"

Bai Xiaowen was a little stunned. Then he smiled and stuffed the famous painting of Zhao Boju to Wang Quan: "that's right."

Li Shuyi brushed her lips silently. Corruption and bribery became common in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Even a little master was greedy when he caught the opportunity.

As the saying goes, it's easy to do things with money. Wang Quan immediately decided to stop the task of patrolling the first and third institutes, and took Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi to Quanzhou City by carriage.

……

That night, Bai Xiaowen met Hu Zongxian.

With Wang Quan's introduction and explanation, Hu Zongxian firmly believes in the identity of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, and his words are quite preferential. As a dignified governor and a feudal official, he can definitely be called a virtuous corporal.

This is also because Bai Xiaowen killed Chen one eye and brought back a ship of goods, which really solved a difficulty Hu Zongxian faced at this time.

Bai Xiaowen is not in charge of the subsequent whereabouts of this ship of wealth and goods. He directly gives it to Hu Zongxian. Whether Hu Zongxian wants to leave the property or return it to the gentry is his own business.

This is also Hu Zongxian's favorite practice. He can be the governor of Zhejiang under the background of Yan Song and his son. Of course, his personal morality can't be compared with that of an honest official like Hai Rui. Just like this ship of goods, Hu Zongxian must intercept most of them

However, Bai Xiaowen still believes that an official like Hu Zongxian is better than Hai Rui... For no other reason, Hu Zongxian has the ability to quell the Japanese chaos in history. And Hai Rui... Apart from the word integrity and the memorial of scolding the emperor, he really didn't leave any conspicuous political achievements.

Of course, "leaving no conspicuous political achievements" is relative to Hu Zongxian's achievements in pingwo, not that Hai Rui is a mediocre official.

In any case, after Bai Xiao's documents were loaded with a ship of wealth and Chen one eyed keepsake, Hu Zongxian was naturally "overjoyed". Bai Xiaowen received further tips from the rules of the spirit world on the spot. He not only received a reward of 1000 meritorious points, but also reached the level of acquaintance with Hu Zongxian.

Now that he is familiar, Bai Xiaowen asks Hu Zongxian about his plans to suppress Bandits:

"Lord Hu, this time our martial brothers and sisters killed Chen one eye, just to see the atrocities of the Japanese pirates and arouse their righteous anger. I would like to ask, when does the governor plan to send troops to kill all these Japanese pirates? I would like to be the forerunner!"

Hu Zongxian waved and smiled. Wang Quan, who was close to him, quickly explained: "little immortal Bai doesn't know. The Japanese pirates come and go like the wind, and they have no fixed place to live. It's difficult to deal with. It's impossible to succeed in the first World War. We must slowly figure it out."

Bai Xiaowen bribed a ship of goods. Of course, he didn't want to listen to these excuses. He said to Hu Zongxian, "in that case, please send a sentinel to fight with me. I'm willing to go to sea to recruit the Japanese pirates!"

Hu Zongxian shook his head and said with a smile, "it's impossible, little immortal Bai. You don't have a military position. How can the imperial army be under the control of an intermediary? It's said that the governor will be impeached."

After a pause, Hu Zongxian said again, "if little immortal Bai wants to, he can be incorporated into our army. To your credit, don't say a sentry, you can do it well."

In the Ming Dynasty, a sentry consists of three teams, that is, nine "Shi", a total of 90 people. The five outposts are a "total", a total of 450 people. If Bai Xiaowen could master 450 sailors who could fight, he would dare to face the Japanese fleet.

Before, facing the pursuit of Xu Hong, the thin and long pirate leader under the command of the Japanese pirate Xu Hai, why did Bai Xiaowen dare not attack and can only shoot off each other's sails and cables to escape? The reason is that I can't fight.

If it's just a leader Xu Hong, it's certainly no problem. But when Xu Hong was besieged and beaten, the hundreds of pirates under his command would not be idle watching the play. There were more than 100 elite pirates. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi could not fight even if they were one or two higher levels.

In the past, Bai Xiaowen killed the leader through advance deployment and arrangement, either cutting off the other party's wings first, or taking advantage of the other party's lack of time to gather and attack the Yellow Dragon, and then he also called up one vote of people and horses, soldiers to soldiers and generals to let his people and horses drag the other side, creating a situation in which he and Li Shuyi singled out the other party's leader. Want to kill senior leaders under the crowd of elites? unrealistic.

However, Bai Xiaowen could not really join the army. He casually refused with a reason: "the school admonished that people who practice Taoism should not be officials."

If Bai Xiaowen joins the army, he is bound to be controlled by Hu Zongxian. It is difficult to move freely and reap benefits. If Hu Zongxian orders Bai Xiaowen to guard a city for half a month... If there has been no Japanese invaders, where can Bai Xiaowen get a chance to fight? To go to war rashly is to leave his post without permission. At least he will be denounced and at least he will be beheaded. Bai Xiaowen has a clear heart.
