The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Wang Shouren ordered his men to count the casualties, and there were a total of 832 Japanese pirates, either killed or captured.

There were also several Japanese pirate leaders who fled in the direction of Shanghai County, and Liu Jin took the monks to chase them.

"Hey, why didn't I think of calling the monks?" Zuo Zongyi sighed, regretting it.

There are many temples and Taoist temples in Jiangnan, and there are many monks who have practiced martial arts since childhood.

If he called the monks, these real Japanese would have been driven away long ago, and how could they dare to rob the court's ships?

Wang Shouren said: "Monk soldiers are not a long-term solution after all, and we still have to rely on Zhenhaiwei and Beiwowei."

After a while, Liu Jin caught Asano Katsu and came back, ready to chop him off, and asked Zuo Zongyi for silver.

He smiled: "Lord Zuo, it's fifty taels of silver each, right?"

Zuo Zongyi had a dark face. His Majesty would definitely not pay the silver, so he had to pay the silver himself.

There were two hundred real Japanese, that would be ten thousand... ten thousand taels.

Zuo Zongyi's eyes went dark, and he fainted with a plop.

"Why did you faint? Wake up, you haven't given us the silver yet!" Liu Jin shook his head frantically.

The soldiers beside him also shouted to return the silver.

At this moment, a fast horse rushed into the military camp, and the man on the horse turned over and said, "Sir, the imperial edict of His Majesty."

Wang Shouren opened it and saw that His Majesty ordered him to tidy up the garrison.

"There are still three large ships in the island country. I'm afraid I have to report to His Majesty before I can go out to sea."

Going out to sea would violate the maritime ban. If you take hundreds of monks to Japan, you have to report to the court.

………

Beijing, Xicheng District.

Yan Chengjin got up early for a morning run. When he arrived at the old courtyard, Chunxiao smiled and said, "Master, the seeds in the greenhouse have sprouted."

He walked into the greenhouse, and a dozen clay pots around him sprouted tender green sprouts.

The pepper pot also began to have a little green.

This is a pepper seedling, with only five leaves, as green as a green apple.

There was only one plant, growing in a grass pot.

"Don't water too much, and don't water too little, you can only water this much every day."

Yan Chengjin took a spoon and demonstrated seriously.

For Chunxiao and the others, planting flowers means weeding and watering.

They were refugees and had no idea about quantity.

Yan Chengjin was afraid that they would water the peppers to death.

He Neng ran over and said, "Master, that Li Zhaofan is here again. This time he brought a pound of meat and said he wanted to give it to you in person."

"No, prepare the sedan chair. This master is going to court."

When Yan Chengjin got to the gate of the mansion, he sat in the sedan chair. Li Zhaofan just bowed to him and didn't come forward to talk.

After entering the palace, the ministers walked to the left and right gates in groups of three or two. Yan Chengjin lined up at the left gate as usual.

"Chengjin, today, do you want to write an impeachment memorial?" Dai Shan smiled.

Yan Chengjin shook his head slightly: "I have no inspiration recently. I will make plans after the Japanese pirates are settled."

The officials stood at the left and right gates for a while.

At this time in the past, the golden bell would have rung.

But today, no sound was heard.

Your Majesty hasn't gotten up yet?

Xiao Jing came over in a panic with a whisk in his hand and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that you will not attend court today."

A noisy voice sounded.

The officials whispered.

The number of times Your Majesty didn't attend court is really few and far between. In recent years, there was only one time when he reorganized the military camp.

Yan Chengjin thought secretly, and a picture emerged in his mind: "Your Majesty, wouldn't he be in the harem, wearing a light gauze robe and letting himself go?"

Li Dongyang and the other two were surprised that His Majesty would not attend court for no reason.

"Eunuch Xiao, His Majesty?"

Xiao Jing said, "Queen Mother Wang caught a cold, and His Majesty went to see her."

Yan Chengjin understood.

There was a Grand Empress Dowager Zhou and a Empress Dowager Wang in the palace.

In the previous dynasty, Empress Wu fought with Concubine Wan and was unfortunately deposed.

Zhu Jianshen established the successor Empress Wang.

In view of Empress Wu's fate, this successor was very Buddhist, fasting and chanting every day, without offspring, and not competing for favor.

When Emperor Hongzhi was the crown prince, he was very good to him. Thinking of this, His Majesty went to see her.

"Brother, let's go back and sleep for a while?"

"Brother, how about going to your house to eat roasted chicken? In winter, it's so warm to roast chicken while roasting fire."

The voices of the Zhang brothers sounded.

When His Majesty doesn't attend court, all officials still have to be on duty, but these two brothers are different.

When His Majesty doesn't attend court, he can go home and sleep. What they have to do every day is just to attend court.

Xiao Jing said to Yan Chengjin: "Lord Yan, His Majesty asked you to go."

Yan Chengjin felt strange. Emperor Hongzhi would not let him see a doctor. He doesn't know how to see a doctor.

Arriving at the bedroom of the harem,

Emperor Hongzhi was standing beside Queen Wang's bed, with a muzzle on his face.

Liu Wentai sat on a brocade stool, feeling Queen Dowager Wang's pulse.

Yan Chengjin saluted from a distance: "Your Majesty, I am Yan Chengjin."

There were Buddhist shrines and various prayer beads in the bedroom. Your Majesty did not like these things, and only Queen Dowager Wang and Empress Dowager Zhou had such courtesy.

"I want to find Wang Ji." Emperor Hongzhi said quietly.

As far as I can remember, Queen Dowager Wang has been here for a few years.

Yan Chengjin bowed and said: "The medical skills of Imperial Physician Liu were passed down by Doctor Wang. Your Majesty, why not let him try?"

"You don't know where Wang Ji is?" Emperor Hongzhi was surprised.

The Jinyiwei could go and look for him, but it would take some time, and he couldn't wait.

Yan Chengjin shook his head. He only knew that Wang Ji had gone to the northwest, but he didn't know where exactly.

Liu Wentai was much bolder, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, it's just a cold, I am sure."

Xiao Jing bowed slightly and said: "I can ask the factory guards to go to the northwest, and I will find the person within a month."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head.

At this time, Li Dongyang and the other two had just returned to the duty room, and Wen Han hurriedly sent a memorial.

"Three adults, this is a memorial sent by Songjiang Prefecture overnight!"

Liu Jian hurriedly grabbed it, and Li Dongyang and Xie Qian came up.

It was an urgent report sent back by Wang Shouren. The Japanese pirates invaded Jinshan Guard Station and were all captured or killed.

"This... How did Wang Shouren do it without soldiers and generals?" Liu Jian was surprised.

The Ministry of War often said how fierce the Japanese pirates were, but Wang Shouren easily caught the flying arrow with his bare hands.

Since your majesty ascended the throne, the Japanese pirates have repeatedly invaded the southeast coast, and the generals have been replaced one after another, but they have not been able to quell it.

Now Wang Shouren has a way to deal with the Japanese pirates, which is a great blessing for the country.

Xie Qian glanced at Liu Jian and was also surprised.

In the urgent report, Wang Shouren did not mention how he won, but mentioned the number of Japanese pirates and the number of spoils of war.

Li Dongyang fell into deep thought, groaned, and said with a comfortable face: "Your Majesty is worried about this, report it to Your Majesty first!"

At this time, the Ministry of War.

Qin Hong was not well. He read the memorial from beginning to end without missing a word, and was stunned for a long time.

In Hainan, Wang Shouren quelled the rebellion of Li alone.

Now he went to Songjiang Prefecture and pacified the Japanese pirates within a month.

He murmured: "Yan Chengjin is right. This man has the talent of a general."

When he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he knew that the Japanese pirates were cunning and fierce.

They appeared in small groups, were very cold-blooded and brutal when looting, and disappeared silently after entering the sea.

"Sir, aren't we going to report the good news?" asked the assistant officer of the Ministry of War.

Qin Hong stood up. He had been reading the memorial for a long time and had forgotten to report it to His Majesty.

Fengtian Palace,

After reading the urgent report, Emperor Hongzhi dispelled all his worries and smiled.

Wang Qingjia won the battle.

"Wang Qingjia is really short. These memorials are too short. They only report the results of the battle and don't even mention the process. Doesn't he know that the important thing is the process?"

Emperor Hongzhi said with some blame.

Yan Chengjin bowed and said, "Wang Shouren is a concise person."
