The rise of the poor

Chapter 1159 Taizhou Sleepless
In the dead of night, the birds are tired, the stars are sparse and the moon hangs in the sky.Jingnan is asleep, and Taiping is also asleep, but Taizhou is sleepless tonight!

Japanese pirates besieged the city, how to sleep? !

Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou Prefecture, wore armor and a sword hanging from his waist, and looked at the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates in the city with a heavy face.

This morning, a group of 6000 Japanese pirates began to besiege Fucheng. At noon, another wave of Japanese pirates came, with 3000 people. In the evening, another wave of Japanese pirates came, also with 3000 people.In addition, the Japanese pirates also kidnapped thousands of people and absorbed thousands of bandits and hooligans who took advantage of the fire to loot. In this way, there are more than 2 Japanese pirates besieging the city, and the city of Taizhou was completely surrounded.

"The government knew that the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River were serious, but they didn't expect it to be so serious. The Japanese pirates dared to break through the county town and besiege the prefectural city!" Tan Lun said indignantly, looking at the Japanese pirates who were showing off their might in the city.

Tan Lun knew that the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River were serious, and he was appointed as the magistrate of Taizhou because the Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded the coast of Zhejiang.

He was appointed as the magistrate of Taizhou at the beginning of this year. He took office not more than a few months earlier than Zhu Ping'an, and he has only been in office for less than half a year. It can be said that he has just arrived and is not familiar with Taizhou.

Tan Lun is not very old, only in his thirties.He has read poetry and books since he was a child. He is very intelligent. He is a well-known local child prodigy. He has a calm personality and is highly praised by the locals. Before Ping An won the number one scholar, he was one of the youngest Jinshi in Jiajing Dynasty.After being a Jinshi, he was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing. Three years later, he served as Fang Langzhong, and he was in charge of the map of the world, the town god, town guards, fortresses, Fenghou, and internal attachments of ethnic minorities along the border.Tan Lun had a lot of achievements in Fang Lang's tenure, and because he was familiar with military affairs, he was admired by the Shangguan. At a time when there was a vacancy in Taizhou's prefect, and most of the coastal areas of Taizhou were invaded by Japanese pirates, the Shangguan recommended him as the prefect of Taizhou.

The magistrate of Taizhou, this is a fourth-rank official!
Tan Lun is only 32 years old this year. It can be said that he is the youngest member of the fourth rank in Ming Dynasty.You know, before Zhu Ping'an was relegated, he was just a fifth-rank official.

For a while, Tan Lun was in the limelight.

Tan Lun is young and promising, young and vigorous, ambitious, he will not be satisfied with being a fourth-rank magistrate.

Fenghou worships the prime minister!Leave a name in history! This is his pursuit.

Therefore, after being appointed as the magistrate of Taizhou, Tan Lun determined to do a great job in Taizhou!And then use Taizhou Mansion as a platform to step into a higher level, let everyone in the world know his name Tan Lun!
However, he has always had good luck. After he became the magistrate of Taizhou, it seems that luck has not favored him.

Just like now!

A few days ago, the Japanese pirates suddenly invaded Taizhou on a large scale. Before he could react and dispatch troops, he heard that many counties under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Prefecture had been breached by the Japanese pirates. !Judging from the wave after wave of Japanese pirates gathering in Taizhou City, it is estimated that these Japanese pirates first broke through the county below, and then came to meet at Taizhou City, intending to join forces to attack our Taizhou City.

It is estimated that the following seven counties have been breached by Japanese pirates!The seven counties are all destroyed!
At the beginning, it was because of the severe Japanese plague in Taizhou that I was appointed as Taizhou magistrate when I was in danger. Unexpectedly, I have been employed for less than half a year, and the Japanese plague is even more serious than before.The seven counties under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Prefecture are all destroyed!Fucheng is besieged!Although the southeast Japanese plague is serious, my Ming Dynasty has not lost like this!
For Tan Lun, who is determined to do a big business in Taizhou, this is nothing more than a resounding slap in the face!Not so far!This is not just a slap in the face!This is a political disaster.

crisis!

Serious crisis!
The first crisis in my life!If he can't handle it well, let alone being named a Marquis and a Prime Minister, his official career will be ruined!

Damn Japanese pirates, if you give yourself more time to train your new army, why is it like this!
"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates in the city have no way to camp, and there are many loopholes. The Japanese pirates only care about drinking and feasting, the discipline is loose, and no one is on duty. It is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, and using them for a while, will eventually be trusted by the government. The promotion will be in the final stage, and there will be no repayment in the end, please order to attack his camp at night, and we will destroy it in one fell swoop! In order to repay the love of the government!"

Behind Tan Lun was a young general in his thirties named Zuo Zhen. He watched the Japanese pirates under the city carefully for a while, and found that the Japanese pirates under the city were full of flaws. He couldn't help clasping his fists confidently.

"General Zuo, the yamen soldiers in Fucheng are unbearable to fight in the field. You have more than a thousand new troops under your command and have only practiced for a few months. They are more than enough to defend the city. It is difficult to defeat the enemy. If the new army has formed an army for a year, why should the government wait for the Japanese pirates to besiege the city? The enemy has been defeated." Tan Lun waved his hand lightly when he heard this, and did not agree to his general's request to fight.

When Tan Lun was appointed the magistrate of Taizhou when he was in danger, he determined to do a great job in Taizhou.Isn't Taizhou Prefecture located on the coast, and Japanese pirates invaded it many times? The first thing he did when he became the prefect of Taizhou was to ask the imperial court to allow him to train a thousand new troops to resist the invading Japanese pirates.Although the imperial court allowed it, two months have passed. Today, the thousand new troops have only just started training for less than three months, and it is far from the point where they can go out of the city to fight the Japanese pirates.

Although Tan Lun also wanted to defeat the Japanese pirates and save Taizhou from defeat, his reason told him that he couldn't.Going out of town now will not help, but may lead to even worse disasters.If the city is defeated by the Japanese pirates, then the capital city of Taizhou will be over!
"Fu Zun, although our army has just formed a new army, we practice diligently every day. Now it has been banned, morale is high, and it has become an elite spirit; This is a good opportunity for the enemy, the final general wishes to issue a military order, and ask the government for permission."

Zuo Zhen continued to fight.

"No, General Zuo must not underestimate the Japanese pirates outside the city. The first Japanese pirate outside the city is named Jiangmen. He is not a reckless and incompetent person. This person is the General Banner of Xiaoshan Wei in Fujian Province. He has more than ten years of experience in the army. Based on his background experience, the Japanese pirate camp outside the city would not be so full of flaws, I am afraid it is his trick to lure the enemy."

Tan Lun looked at Zuo Zhen, shook his head slightly, pointed to the Japanese pirate tent in the middle outside the city, and said slowly.

"Thanks to the government's calmness, otherwise I'm afraid I will become a sinner in the Taizhou government." After hearing Tan Lun's explanation, Zuo Zhen took it for granted. It is a disgrace to my generation to serve as the general banner of the guard and not to serve the imperial court, but to become a Japanese pirate."
