The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

During lunch, Zhang Fan and Qi Jiguang chatted a lot, and the topic became heavy before the two of them talked, but after the two of them finished eating, the heavy feeling disappeared again, and the two People are people who can afford and let go. Although the two of them feel a little sorry for the situation they talked about before, they haven't reached the point where they can change it. Since they can't change it, why bother? They still have to struggle with this, and besides, they still have a lot of things to do right now.

The wife still needs to write a memorial book, prepare to play Longqing, explain the situation here to him, and get Longqing to agree to let the thousand fusang captives help repair the city destroyed by them, and Qi Jiguang has to write and submit to him. Not the battle report, now that the war is over, the messengers to the imperial court have been dispatched, and the battle report that is going to be submitted to the not will naturally have to be completed quickly.

Zhang Fan didn't go back, but stayed in Qi Jiguang's big tent. The two of them worked hard together to complete their tasks. Qi Jiguang didn't have many battle reports to write. He came to kill the enemy, and encountered no problems along the way. When he rushed to Nanzhili, he had already received a letter for help from Zhang Fan from Yangzhou City, so he just came directly to Yangzhou City. After that, the Fusang people retreated quickly, so he led his army to surround Suzhou City until the opponent opened the city gate to break through, but Qi Jiguang, who had been prepared for a long time, flanked the opponent back and forth, annihilating him in one fell swoop, and finally only stayed The place where more than a thousand people were captured, this battle report is very short, Qi Jiguang didn't take long to finish it, but he also missed a lot of things, such as the most important point, why the enemy is stationed In Suzhou City, it would be unreasonable to suddenly open the city gate to break through. After all, facing an army stronger than oneself, what the enemy should do is to enter and defend the city gate.

Regarding this matter, Qi Jiguang also decided not to write it in the battle report after discussing it with Zhang Fan on the side. After all, that matter is nothing to say, but it is not something that can be said with great fanfare in the court. , it was naturally handed over to Zhang Fan, the commander of Jinyiwei, so he didn't have to worry about it. It's a bit strange and funny to think about it, one is a general of Ming Dynasty, and the other is in charge of monitoring the hundred The official Jin Yiwei was the commander, and the two of them would discuss and write the official documents to the court in such a way. This is really a rare scene in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

On Zhang Fan's side, there is not much content in the memorial to Longqing. He only needs to explain the situation here and ask Longqing to order these more than a thousand Fusang prisoners of war to help repair the city's houses and so on. Zhang Fan was quite sure about this matter in his heart, and he believed that the money-loving Long Qing would definitely agree to his low price method.

Soon the two of them finished what they were supposed to write. Just when they were about to summon their subordinates to send the battle report and memorials to the capital, Zhang Fan remembered that he still lacked a battle report that he hadn't written yet. .

Before that, he was temporarily appointed by Long Qing as the "General to Drive Barbarians". Before Qi Jiguang arrived, he was the commander in charge of resisting Japanese pirates in Jiangnan, although his position was already automatic when Qi Jiguang arrived. It was lifted, but he still needed to write a battle report for the previous battle and submit it to the Ministry of War for review.

There is no way, and no one else can help him write this kind of thing, so Zhang Fan had to sit down again, pick up a pen and paper, and start writing. Zhang Fan is already familiar with driving the memorabilia, but this battle report, he It’s the first time he’s writing, how should he write it, what can be written in it, what can’t be written in it, he doesn’t know at all, but now, with Qi Jiguang on the side, whenever he doesn’t understand something, he can ask Qi Jiguang, And Qi Jiguang also told Zhang Fan everything without reservation.

In the process of writing the battle report, Zhang Fan's mind was always distracted. He could not help but think of those days, especially the days when he was the coach, sitting on the tower of Yangzhou city and guarding there. It was the most difficult time in Zhang Fan's two lives. He was always in danger of being captured by the opponent, and he was also in danger of dying. Although those things have passed now, but now I think back to what happened at that time. The old Zhang Fan would still break out in a cold sweat involuntarily. Maybe Zhang Fan would encounter more dangerous situations in the future; maybe he would be in a high position from now on and would never have anything to do with this kind of thing again. The side scene, but he will never forget it in his life.

After writing this battle report with a heavy heart, Zhang Fan let out a sigh of relief, relaxed, and sent out the battle report and memorial. Zhang Fan also planned to go back to Yangzhou.

"By the way, Master Qi," before leaving, Zhang Fan said to Qi Jiguang, "I don't know what your plans are these few days."

"I, I naturally want to stay here and wait for the court's order to arrive," Qi Jiguang said naturally.

"No, Lord Qi, what I mean is, it seems that this place is not suitable for camping," Zhang Fan said.

Hearing what he said, Qi Jiguang thought about it, but this place is really not suitable for camping. The place where they are now is actually on the official road from Suzhou City to Yangzhou City and Yingtian Mansion.

"This matter is very easy to handle. I will order the soldiers to dismantle the camp later. Anyway, the place here is very big. I can always find an open space for me to camp," Qi Jiguang said.

"Well, Master Qi said so," Zhang Fan said.

"However, I have something to ask for your help," Qi Jiguang said suddenly.

"Oh, what is it?" Seeing that Qi Jiguang would ask for help, Zhang Fan couldn't help being curious.

"That's what happened," Qi Jiguang said, "Before I received an order from the imperial court to lead troops to the south of the Yangtze River for rescue. After I found out, I immediately sent troops to come here. I didn't prepare much, until I stayed in Xuzhou Mansion before, I added some dry food, and now, there is only enough dry food left for a day, "

When Zhang Fan heard that it was a matter of grain and grass, he couldn't help but understand his doubts. The so-called army has not moved, and grain and grass go first. For this matter, people would actually say "beg" to Zhang Fan, which shows the importance of food and grass.

"So that's what happened," Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Lord Qi, please don't worry, now that the war is over, the refugees in the Yangzhou government should come back. After I go back, I will immediately ask the Yangzhou prefect Wang Dezhao to dispatch them." The food should be delivered to Master Qi's army."

"So, I still have to thank you," Qi Jiguang said, arching his hands.

"It's nothing to worry about," Zhang Fan said hastily, "In other words, Suzhou City is completely empty now, and there is a lot of food in the city. In addition, although the war is over, the official documents from the court have not yet been issued. Sir, as the commander of this battle, you have the right to requisition the food and grass of the local state capital as military equipment, so why do you need my help?"

"That's right, I'm not afraid of getting into trouble," Qi Jiguang said helplessly, "After all, in this world, there are not many people who can do things, but there are many people who can mess around. What's the trouble? It's really troublesome." Qi Jiguang's mood seems to have returned to the happy state before lunch. Talked like a tongue twister.

Zhang Fan, and even Wang Meng and others at the side felt a little funny when they heard Qi Jiguang's words.

"In this case, Zhang Fan has agreed," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "When I return to Yangzhou, the first thing I will do is to find someone to provide food for Mr. Qi, and I will definitely not delay the meal of Mr. Qi's soldiers. of the problem,"

"That's good," Qi Jiguang was very happy.

After bidding farewell to Qi Jiguang, Zhang Fan and others rode out of the camp of Qi's army and headed towards Yangzhou City.

Along the way, Zhang Fan's mood was unprecedentedly good. It was much better than when he came here. Now that everything has settled down, the things he was worried about before are no longer filtered out. No matter whether someone in the court intends to Shooting at themselves, in short, they have no reason now. The more than [-] Fusang enemy troops guarding the city of Suzhou did not take too much time for him and Qi Jiguang, and in the end, the Qi family army can almost be regarded as a complete victory , Although it cannot be said that no soldiers were injured, the casualties were indeed minimal.

"In this way, even if it is Gao Gong in the court, I am afraid there is no reason to make trouble," Zhang Fan thought in his heart.

Feeling good, this time seemed to be no longer difficult. By the time Zhang Fan and the others could faintly see the city walls of Yangzhou City, the sky had already darkened, but no one seemed tired at all.

In Yangzhou City, the people who escaped from Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion are still there. The first thing Zhang Fan did after entering the city was to find Wang Dezhao and ask him to announce the victory of the war, and ask him to organize a manpower to report the matter to the The people in the city, and asked them to return to their original residence in Shifen tomorrow morning. He also specially asked Wang Dezhao to pay attention to sending people to maintain order, and there must be no crowded and disorderly situation.

After that, it was about Qi Jiguang's military rations, and Wang Dezhao did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed, and sent someone to Qi Jiguang's camp overnight.

After finishing these things, Zhang Fan could finally go home. When he arrived at the gate of De's house, he saw Yingyue waiting in front of the gate of Zhang's mansion, just like a woman who was waiting for her Zhang mansion to return from victory. Like a little daughter-in-law, Zhang Fan was really happy seeing this scene,
