The rise of the poor

Chapter 1997 Urging the troops to go out
Kill, kill, kill, rob, rob, burn, burn. The Japanese pirates in Xu Hai have not had a single day of peace in the past few days. They have attacked from all sides of their pirate lairs, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Smoke of war was everywhere in southern Zhili, and there was also constant war in northern Zhejiang.

In addition to Xu Hai's Japanese followers, Wang Zhi's Japanese followers were also restless. They had more troops and wreaked havoc in a wider area. The areas of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian were all their areas of activity. They killed and burned people, and there was no peace.

In short, for a time, the Japanese invasion in the south of the Yangtze River was like adding fuel to the fire, and the people were suffering terribly.

Jiangnan Governor's Office.

"Governor Zhang, you put it off last month, and then you put it off to next month. I want to ask you, are you going to suppress the Japanese?"

Zhao Wenhua brought Hu Zongxian to the door again and questioned Zhang Jing angrily in the yamen.

The officers in the yamen were no longer surprised by this. In the past two months, Zhao Wenhua came almost every few days.

Every time he came, he had only one thing in mind, which was to urge Zhang Jing to send troops to attack the Japanese pirates, to send troops quickly, to send troops quickly!
"Suppress, of course we must suppress! As the Governor General, my first and only priority is to eliminate the Japanese pirates!"

Zhang Jing replied without hesitation.

"Governor Zhang, you keep saying that suppressing the Japanese is your first and only priority?! Have you ever calculated how long you have been the governor? I tell you, you have been the governor for a hundred days! It has been a hundred days since you took office, why haven't you sent troops to suppress the Japanese?! You haven't even sent a single soldier!"

Zhao Wenhua sneered and asked questions in a fierce manner, not giving Zhang Jing any chance to speak.

"The time to send troops is not yet ripe!" Zhang Jing replied indifferently.

"Immature?! Haha, just because of one immature word, you're leaving millions of people in Jiangnan to die under the butcher knife of the Japanese pirates?!"

"At this moment when I am questioning you, I wonder how many civilians are being hacked to the ground by the Japanese pirates!"

"Four days! Xu Hai's gang of pirates have been going crazy for four days. They have been burning, killing and looting crazily in Southern Zhili and northern Zhejiang for four days! The best-selling cloth on the market is the white cloth for mourning! The thing that money can't buy on the market is a coffin! Even the cheapest phoenix coffin cannot be bought with additional silver!"

"I would like to ask you, Governor Zhang, when will you send troops to destroy the Japanese?!"

After hearing Zhang Jingyun's calm answer, Zhao Wenhua became very excited and pressed on, questioning him again and again.

"The time is ripe to send troops." Zhang Jing replied indifferently.

Why don't you send troops? Blah blah, a few hundred words of questioning.

The timing is not right.

When will you send out troops? Blah blah, another several hundred words of questioning.

The time is ripe to send troops.

It felt like, how should I put it, a couple in an emotional argument, with the woman asking questions in a tearful and emotional tone, "Why did you come home two hours later than usual last night? Who were you with? What did you do? Who is that woman on your phone? What is your relationship? Do you know how sad I was last night? Do you know how much my stomach hurts?"

The man just replied indifferently, "She is just my sister. If you have a stomachache, drink more hot water."

What do you think will happen to women?
Anyway, Zhao Wenhua almost exploded on the spot. You just stand there, and he chuckled with a bit of uncontrolled emotions, and said sarcastically, "You, Governor Zhang, sit in a tall house, under the protection of the guards on the city wall, enjoying fine wine and delicious food, sleeping soundly, you can't see the people outside being slaughtered in a pool of blood by the Japanese pirates, you can't hear their cries of losing their loved ones, you can't feel their despair of crying out to the sky and the earth for help! I am not like Governor Zhang, who has trained a heart of stone. When I think of the people being slaughtered in a pool of blood by the Japanese pirates, I can't help myself and can't sleep or eat well."

Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Wenhua calmly and replied slowly, "Lord Zhao, I go to the city every day to comfort the refugees, go to the military camp every day to see the soldiers' training, collect and dispatch food and weapons every day, study and deduce the plan to destroy the Japanese every night, and go to bed early at midnight! During the days when the Japanese in Xuhai went crazy, I slept no more than an hour a day!"

Zhao Wenhua was about to say something strange, but Zhang Jing said, "Sir Zhao, let's not talk about the distant past. For example, during the four days when the Japanese pirates in Xuhai went crazy, you only went out three times. Once you came to urge me to send troops today, and the other two times you went out were to restaurants and brothels. The rest of the time you were in the government office, calling friends, drinking and having fun. Sir Zhao, please forgive me for my shortsightedness. I didn't see that you were unable to control your feelings for the people and couldn't sleep or eat well."

Zhao Wenhua's face turned red and white, and he pointed at Zhang Jing in anger and said angrily, "You're spying on me?!"

Damn you, Zhang Jing! You actually treated me like a criminal and monitored me. This is outrageous and intolerable!
Zhang Jing shook his head and replied calmly, "Lord Zhao, you are wrong. I am not monitoring Lord Zhao. I am just concerned about his safety and want to protect him. Lord Zhao is an imperial envoy, worth a lot of money. The Japanese pirates are treacherous and have no bottom line. I am afraid that they will be desperate and attack and assassinate the officials in the city, so I sent people to protect the officials in the city. Lord Zhao, please don't misunderstand me."

In order to achieve his goal of destroying the Japanese, Zhang Jing would not allow anyone to cause trouble, and in Zhang Jing's eyes, Zhao Wenhua was the number one troublemaker.

It's fine that you come to the sea sacrifice and give random commands, but you even want to interfere in the fight against the Japanese invaders. This is not acceptable. This is related to the overall situation of the fight against the Japanese invaders, and we will not allow you to interfere!

In order to keep an eye on Zhao Wenhua and prevent him from disrupting the overall plan of destroying the Japanese pirates, it is necessary to monitor him.

Keep him under your watch and don't give him the chance to make trouble.

Not only did Zhang Jing monitor Zhao Wenhua, he also placed many of his own confidants in the mansion and government office where Zhao Wenhua lived.

The purpose is to put Zhao Wenhua under his control.

"Good! Good! Good! Governor Zhang, you are very good!" Zhao Wenhua became even angrier, pointing at Zhang Jing and said gritting his teeth.

"I'm glad that Lord Zhao understands my good intentions." Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Wenhua expressionlessly and said lightly.

"Merlin! Let's go!"

Zhao Wenhua called Hu Zongxian and turned away angrily.

"Sir Hu, when you left the capital, didn't you swear that you would not return to the capital until you captured Wang Zhi and Xu Hai and stabilized the southeast? Don't learn bad things from certain people! Is there any good strategy to capture Wang Zhi and Xu Hai and stabilize the southeast in brothels? It will only wear away your heroic spirit and corrode your will! It will be despised by others!" Zhang Jing stopped Hu Zongxian and sternly taught him a lesson when he was leaving.

Hu Zongxian paused for a moment, then without looking back, followed Zhao Wenhua out of the Jiangnan Governor's Office.
