At the end of September, there was a temperature difference between morning and evening in Taizhou Prefecture, but it was fine during the day and the temperature was appropriate.
In Linhai City, the prefecture magistrate He Xiong has got up under the service of a concubine.
After wearing the official clothes, the concubine Xiying powdered him in a single coat, then stepped back and said with a smile: "the master is really a big husband who can intoxicate his daughter's family."
Sakura is short but plump. He xiongai killed her petite and graceful cry. When he heard the speech, he couldn't help touching it on the high tower and said with a smile: "stay at home and clean you up when I come back in the evening! Ha ha ha!"
He Xiong was diligent as an official, so it was only bright when he arrived at the front government office.
"My Lord, there were Japanese pirates in Zhapu yesterday."
He Xiongcai was about to sit down in the lobby and was furious at the speech: "where's Zhang Jin? Is he a dead man?"
The visitor was Yuezhuang, who was sentenced by Taizhou government. He said with a bitter smile: "Sir, commander Zhang said that there was a shortage of troops, and there was a need for vigilance everywhere. It was inevitable to take care of one thing and lose the other."
He Xiong said dejectedly, "those Japanese pirates are really cunning!"
Yue Zhuang comforted: "fortunately, there are not many Japanese pirates. They just went into the village and robbed some things and left. But, my Lord, didn't Jinling say it would send reinforcements?"
He Xiong sighed: "even if those reinforcements start, they are mostly delayed. It's good to arrive at the end of the year."
"Wait for the end of the year?" Yue Zhuang said with a headache, "but Japanese pirates have been wandering around the sea outside Taizhou Prefecture like crazy recently. This is a posture to invade the pirates on a large scale!"
"Hey!"
He Xiong also has a headache. Originally, his future was in the north. But the former governor of Taizhou caught up with the great victory of the southern expedition and made meritorious contributions to driving the enemy, so he was promoted. Only then did the Ministry of officials transfer him to Taizhou Prefecture who was originally going to the north.
Taizhou prefecture has many mountains and little cultivated land. If it is not near the sea, it will be impossible to live.
But while the sea brings wealth, it also brings Japanese pirates, which makes the coastal villages miserable.
Therefore, He Xiong was not willing to work here from his heart, but since he came, he also held the mentality of doing some achievements, but he was also conscientious.
"My Lord, there is an army by the Lingjiang river. It's so scary!"
He Xiong was overjoyed. "Most of them are reinforcements. Let's go to meet them."
Yue Zhuang frowned and said, "Sir, this is a special way between civil and military affairs. Besides, there is at most one commander. Let's just sit down and wait."
He Xiong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "thank you for reminding me, otherwise..."
"My Lord!"
At this time, the second messenger arrived. With a happy face, he said, "Sir, xinghebo is leading the army."
"Is that him?"
He Xiong was stunned and hurried out.
"Go, go! That's a murderer. It's still TAISUN's teacher. Hurry up..."
Yuezhuang had never heard of Fang Xing's "deeds", so he hesitated and finally followed up.
"This river is a natural barrier facing the sea. Both directions in the southwest were taken into account. The site selection was really good at that time."
Fang Xing's face was tanned, but his spirit was better. He looked at the wall in front of him and said, "if the enemy is here, he can only fight back. If he wins, he won't say. Once he is defeated, he can't even escape."
Huang Zhong was wearing a green robe and said with a smile, "I heard there is an East Lake opposite, which can also be used as a barrier. It's really a good place!"
In front of the city wall is not high, but the area is not small. When Fang woke up, he estimated that there must be at least five or six kilometers around the city.
Looking back at more than 2000 soldiers standing in a queue like statues, Fang woke up and called for a knife.
"Go around and ask those people about the Japanese pirates this year."
Know yourself and know the enemy. Fang woke up and began to prepare for work before he entered the city.
When Xiaodao took people along the right, the city gate closed because he found Fang Xingbu was also opened.
"Uncle, the magistrate is welcome."
When Fang woke up and lowered his head, he saw a group of people coming out of the city gate. The man in four pin official clothes, led by him, bowed his hands and greeted him from a distance.
"When Xinghe Boyuan comes, He Xiong, governor of Taizhou, has lost his welcome. Please make atonement."
He Xiong smiled very elegant. Fang Xing arched his hands and said, "magistrate he is very polite."
While introducing his subordinates, He Xiong secretly looked at Fang Xing.
So young!
This is He Xiong's first impression.
After greeting, Fang woke up and said, "can we arrange the accommodation of our army?"
He Xiong hurriedly said, "it's already there. Xinghe Bo, please follow the official."
After entering the city, the houses are dense, and the streets and alleys are crowded.
Seeing the army entering the city, the pedestrians leaned on both sides and silently looked at the silent soldiers.
The camp is in the East, and the East Lake is outside the city.
After arranging to stay, He Xiong entertained Fang Xing in the government office.
During the dinner, He Xiong asked with some worry: "xinghebo, the Japanese pirates are cruel and cunning. If there are not enough hands, they will be easily transferred from the mountain!"
This is because the suspect woke up and brought less reinforcements.
Fang Xing waved his hand and subdued the anger of Lin Qun'an and two thousand family officials. He said faintly, "there are not many soldiers, but the essence. Fang fought in the South and North by these soldiers. Are those Japanese pirates more powerful than other nationalities in the grassland? Fang really wants to weigh it."
Yue Zhuang, who accompanied Fang, heard that Fang woke up and said, "it's close to the sea. The Japanese pirates come and go without a trace. How can Xinghe Bo find the enemy?"
Fang woke up and glanced at Yuezhuang. "Ben Bo came to the wrong place today. He will naturally leave tomorrow."
He Xiong was shocked and hurriedly advised, "Xinghe Bo, the lower official doesn't mean that!"
Yuezhuang saw Fang awake and became angry. He also secretly regretted it in his heart and quickly raised a glass to apologize.
Fang Xing frowned and said, "first, someone in front looked at the Japanese invaders' invasion route in recent years and found that most of them were in Jiantiao and Taozhu, while the recent frequent attacks were in Haimen area. Our army is stationed here. Once the Japanese invaders raid, they will not understand their thirst!"
Before he Xiong objected, Fang woke up and said, "Fang has drunk the reception wine. Thank you for the hospitality of Taizhou government, but our army is about to leave. If we go to Haimen guard, we won't stay much. Goodbye!"
After Fang woke up and left with people, he Xiongcai sighed, "what can this person do even when they arrive at Haimen guard!"
Yue Zhuang was just awakened by Fang. He was in a cold sweat. When he heard the speech, he agreed: "Your Excellency, this Xinghe uncle actually took the soldiers. Look, it's probably because he didn't succeed in the court!"
He Xiong was stunned when he heard the speech and murmured, "it's possible! Otherwise, it's enough to have all the commanders. Why send an uncle?"
Back to the camp, it wasn't long before the knife came back.
"Master, the Japanese pirates haven't been here recently."
"But master, those people say that the Japanese pirates are cruel and even unborn children have been picked out and burned!"
Fang woke up, frowned and asked, "but really?"
"The little one couldn't understand the local dialect. Later, he paid for a interpreter. Even the interpreter said it was true."
"Bang!"
Fang Xing clapped his hand on the wall column and said in a cold voice, "it's true that dogs can't eat shit. It's passed down from generation to generation!"
"Herald, go to Haimen guard immediately."
