Chapter 264 Official Action
Fujian, Zhangzhou Prefecture.

At this moment, Tan Lun was writing a letter to be submitted to the emperor. At this moment, he heard a voice from outside.

"Master Governor, it's time for us to set off!"

"Well, wait a moment, the officer will be here soon."

After Tan Lun finished speaking, after putting away the unfinished letter on the desk, he opened the door.

Outside the door, Tan Lun's bodyguards had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Tan Lun coming, they quickly knelt down on the ground and saluted respectfully.

"I have waited to meet the governor!"

"Well, has the news been delivered?"

Tan Lun nodded with his hands behind his back, and asked.

"Report to the governor, according to your order, the ordnance, food and grass needed by the army have been sent to the nearby guard post along with your order."

Tan Lun's bodyguard did not dare to neglect, and responded immediately.

"Well, in that case, let's go."

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

……

Soon, Tan Lun and his bodyguards rushed to the school grounds of the local guards, and together with them, there were officials of all sizes from Fujian Province.

Standing on the school field, Tan Lun couldn't help saying loudly, looking at the solemn and orderly soldiers in the audience.

"Well, not bad! Seeing your current appearance, I am very pleased!"

"I'm not mistaken, you are all the brave and elite soldiers of our Ming Dynasty."

When Tan Lun said this, he deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued.

"I have fulfilled my promise before, now it's your turn!"

When the soldiers in the audience heard Tan Lun's words, they couldn't help puffing up their chests, making themselves look even taller.

"Tell me, how should we treat these bandits who are entrenched in Fujian and commit all kinds of crimes to harm the common people?"

As Tan Lun spoke, he turned his eyes away from the soldiers standing below the stage, and said word by word.

"Destroy all, leave no one behind!"

"Kill kill kill!"

What responded to Tan Lun was a wave of sound that was so powerful that it shook people's ears.

"Okay, before leaving, I will repeat the specific matters again!"

"The goal of this operation is to exterminate all bandits in Fujian. Anyone who encounters resistance on the way will be killed!"

"You don't have to hand over your gains this time! Anyone who participated in this battle will be paid double. In addition, soldiers who unfortunately died in the battle will not only receive double pensions, but their families will also receive Proper placement by the imperial court!"

"Where there are children in the family, they can go to the free schools run by the government. If there are elderly people in the family, the government will pay for them and support them until the end of their lives."

"I have finished my words, do you have any comments?"

As soon as the words fell, Tan Lun glanced over the faces of the soldiers in the audience with a very stern look.

As for the scene, there was naturally no sound, and the silence was suffocating.

"Okay, since that's the case, pass on the officer's order, and the whole army sets off!"

Tan Lun waved his hand abruptly, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Soon, there was only the sound of horseshoes, and this large army, led by Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, marched towards the area in Fujian where banditry was quite rampant.

And just to be on the safe side, Tan Lun also deliberately brought dozens of Fran cannons as fire cover!At that time, let's use the cannon to open the way first.

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

Since Hu Zongxian returned to Zhejiang from Jiangxi, he has lived a very leisurely life as usual.

In the early morning, when the sun just rose, I saw Hu Zongxian lying on a deck chair, basking in the sun.

At this moment, I saw a guard, mustered up the courage to come forward, and said in a low voice.

"Report to the governor, this is a letter sent to you by your former staff member Xu Wei!"

"Oh, Xu Wei?"

Hu Zongxian was quite surprised after listening to his subordinate's report, and immediately got up from the reclining chair, and took the letter.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do here, you go down!"

"Yes, my lord governor."

Seeing this, the guard immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting Hu Zongxian respectfully, he left quickly.

After the guards left, Hu Zongxian lay back on the chair again and opened the envelope.

After Hu Zongxian finished reading the contents of the letter, he was silent for a long time and said with emotion.

"Wen Chang, Wen Chang, why are you bothering?"

"Obviously by my side, you can..."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he put the envelope aside, picked up the teacup on the side, and took a sip.

In addition to the daily greetings, the content of the letter is Xu Wei's sincere thanks to Hu Zongxian, the boss!Xu Wei also mentioned in the letter that he has returned to his hometown and is studying hard, preparing to take the imperial examination in August this year.

"I hope you can pass the exam this time!"

After Hu Zongxian murmured such a sentence, he returned to his previous expression.

After a while, I saw Hu Zongxian throwing the idle book in his hand aside, then called the guards, and gave orders in a deep voice.

"Go and call both Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to the governor's mansion. Count the days. The imperial court's reward should be coming soon."

"Yes, Governor General, this subordinate will go and inform the two generals immediately!"

After the guards at the side responded, they quickly left the governor's mansion, and then rode on the fast horses that had been prepared, and set foot on the road.

However, Hu Zongxian did not hold much hope for the possible reward from the court this time.

In his opinion, his promotion speed was really too fast, it was almost as if he would go up a level after fighting a battle.

Therefore, according to the past practice, you should suppress your promotion speed a little bit!
The reward this time should only be rewarding himself with some gold, silver and jewels, plus a few words of encouragement.

Thinking of this, Hu Zongxian picked up the idle book that had been thrown aside earlier, and read it with relish.

……

"Drive!"

After receiving Hu Zongxian's order, the previous guard rode a fast horse towards the place where the army was stationed, and arrived at the destination not long after.

"Stop, who dares to break into the barracks!"

Before the guard had time to get close to the camp where the army was stationed, he was spotted by the patrolling soldiers nearby, and he yelled loudly.

"I'm from the Governor's Mansion. I'm here because I have something very important. Please inform General Qi and General Yu!"

Looking at the soldiers who were gradually surrounding him, the guard couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva, and at the same time raised his hands high and said loudly.

"Is there a token to prove your identity?"

Among these few soldiers, the leader came forward and asked with a vigilant expression.

"Yes, it's in my pocket, take it yourself!"

"Ah."

Seeing this, the leading soldier from before approached slowly and fumbled carefully in the pocket mentioned by the guard.

"Found it, he is indeed from the Governor's Mansion."

The former leading soldier, after groping for the token proving his identity from the guard's pocket, heaved a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to his companion and explained.

"Huh, what an offense, please forgive me, my lord!"

After confirming that their identities were correct, the previous soldiers stepped forward one after another to apologize to the guard.

"It's okay, why is it so tight around the barracks?"

In the end, the guard couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, and then asked the group of soldiers.

After the soldiers looked at each other, perhaps to make amends, they explained immediately.

"To be honest, General Qi and General Yu are testing the new military formation inside, and they say that no one is allowed to approach the barracks!"

"Because of this, the defense around the barracks is so tight."
