Luo Xin had a headache at that time, and started cursing in the study.

"Nimma, you think I'm a god! I don't give you a cent, I don't give you a soldier, and I don't give you any rights. I'm still a fourth-rank prefect, and Hu Zongxian is still a third-rank governor. All the soldiers in the southeast are in his hands. Here, go find him. As long as he wipes out the pirates, I will give you money."

At this time, Hu Zongxian also had a look of melancholy.Emperor Jiajing was able to write a letter to Luo Xin, how could he not give an order to Hu Zongxian?
The order given to Hu Zongxian was not so polite, and there was no way to do it. Emperor Jiajing was a little bit hard on Luo Xin.It is impossible for him to give Luo Xin military power.Luo Xin was in charge of the military power in the north.Now that he is in charge of the military power in the south, will Emperor Jiajing be able to sleep in the future?
If Luo Xin can't be given military power, money is even more impossible. He even points to Luo Xin to make money for him, so he let the horse run and don't feed the horse to Luo Xin. In this case, he How can they get tough with Luo Xin.Therefore, Emperor Jiajing's evil fire was directed at Hu Zongxian.

Nima, I will give you both soldiers and money, let's see what you have done to the southeast?
I asked you to give you an overview of military power, even if you can't destroy the Japanese pirates in a short time, there is no problem in escorting Shibosi, right?

but……

Look what you have done?
The southeast became more and more chaotic, so Emperor Jiajing ordered Hu Zongxian to wipe out all the Japanese pirates who invaded Daming within half a month.

half a month?
How is it possible?

Almost half a year.

He had just suffered a defeat when 5 people met those six thousand real Japanese, and were killed by those six thousand real Japanese.At this time, he really missed Yu Dayou.

"Ugh……"

Hu Zongxian sighed for a long time, and sat there frowning, thinking about how to wipe out these Japanese pirates.It cannot be said that they were ineffective these days, and killed more than 2000 Japanese pirates, but the casualties of officers and soldiers were even more.Moreover, those Japanese pirates have no plan at all now, and they are heading east and west, making the officers and soldiers tired of chasing them.

"Uncle!" Hu Ning, who was at the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart: "We might as well take every step and force those Japanese pirates to Hangzhou."

At this time, Hu Ning already knew that his family would never reconcile with Luo Xin. If so, he should try his best to hit Luo Xin.

Why are we all exhausted here, with heavy casualties, and there is nothing wrong with you in Hangzhou?Simply drive the Japanese pirates to Hangzhou, and drag Luo Xin into the water.

Hu Zongxian's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked at Hu Ning and said:
"Ning'er, Luo Xin was hailed as the military god of the Ming Dynasty. At first, my uncle also thought that he had a false name, but the times made him a hero. But these days he came to the southeast, and what he has done is really extraordinary.

You have to know that it is definitely not an easy task for us to force more than a dozen Japanese pirates to Hangzhou.I am afraid that the casualties will definitely not be less.At that time, if Luo Xin is allowed to wipe out those Japanese pirates, we will give him a great credit.Both Xu Hai and Xin Wulang were killed under his command, and in the end he wiped out the remnants of the Japanese pirates, and he took all the credit.How will His Majesty treat me then? "

"Uncle, Luo Xin only has Qi Jiguang's 5000 soldiers now, and Yu Dayou's 1 soldiers have all returned to us. But there are more than 3000 Japanese pirates, especially the 1 real Japanese are hard-handed. As the saying goes, coincidence I don't believe that Luo Xin can annihilate more than [-] Japanese pirates with only [-] people?

And after we dared the Japanese pirates to enter the Hangzhou mansion, we stayed outside the Hangzhou mansion without fighting. Didn't Luo Xin always watch our excitement?This time it's our turn to watch his excitement.When he and the Japanese pirates are both hurt, we will clean up the mess. In this way, all the faults are his and all the credits are ours. "

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly thinking, Hu Ning came to Hu Zongxian, whispered softly:

"Uncle can also send his confidants to hide among the Japanese pirates, maybe he can find an opportunity to take Luo Xin..."

Having said that, Hu Ning raised his hand and scratched his neck.

Hu Zongxian's eyes lit up, as long as he could kill Luo Xin, some risks were worth taking.He has already seen that if Luo Xin continues to develop like this, within a few years, Luo Xin may be promoted back to Beijing, and by that time, it may be Hu Zongxian's turn to have a hard time.

And what Hu Ning said made sense, they forced the Japanese pirates into the Hangzhou mansion, but they didn't leave, but just besieged nearby without attacking.Waiting for the pirates and Luo Xin to lose.As long as he seized the right time to attack suddenly and wipe out the pirates, Hu Zongxian would still be credited with him. Even if he had no chance to kill Luo Xin, it would still reduce Luo Xin's strength.

Why not?

So he nodded, and the Governor's Mansion immediately started to operate.The nearly 30 troops in the southeast no longer aim to destroy the Japanese pirates, but to force the Japanese pirates into the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture. In this way, when Hu Zongxian's army confronts the Japanese pirates, it always gives the Japanese pirates a chance to flee to Hangzhou Prefecture If there is a chance, they will never be encircled, and they always leave a direction for them to escape.In this way, the Japanese pirates will naturally not fight desperately with the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The casualties of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are less, and the casualties of the Japanese pirates are also less.

but……

The footsteps of the Japanese pirates are getting closer and closer to Hangzhou Mansion.

At the same time, Hu Zongxian sent a hundred dead soldiers to mix in with the Japanese pirates.Waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Luo Xin.

Hangzhou House.

Prefect Yamen.

Every day, there are countless news sent by scouts on Luo Xin's desk. At this moment, Luo Xin was looking at those news one by one, his brows gradually wrinkled.

From these news, Luo Xin felt something bad.He stood up, came to a map, and moved his fingers slowly on the map.The look in his eyes became more and more startled.

"boom……"

Luo Xin punched the wall fiercely. Judging from the escape route of the Japanese pirates, they were approaching the Hangzhou Mansion, and the reason why the Japanese pirates were approaching the Hangzhou Mansion was completely forced by Hu Zongxian's army.

"What a Hu Zongxian!"

"Come on!"

"My lord!" A guard appeared at the door.

"Send an order to ask Qi Jiguang to immediately withdraw his troops and return to Hangzhou Mansion."

"Respect!"

Watching the guard leave, Luo Xin returned to his seat and sat down, frowning tightly.The reason why he asked Qi Jiguang to come back was that he was afraid that Qi Jiguang would be made dumplings by Japanese pirates. Even if Qi Jiguang left again, 1000 people would not be able to face more than 1 Japanese pirates.Moreover, these more than 1 Japanese pirates have also robbed a lot of horses in post stations and county towns. They are no longer pure infantry, but have a tendency to develop like cavalry. In this way, Qi Jiguang is even more dangerous.

but……

What will happen after Qi Jiguang comes back?
Could it be that they stay behind closed doors and stick to Hangzhou Mansion?Let the Japanese pirates burn, kill and loot everywhere in the villages and counties of Hangzhou Prefecture?

In this way, after the Japanese pirates are wiped out, this year will be a disaster year for the people of Hangzhou Prefecture. Their wealth has been robbed and their crops have been burned. I am afraid that the houses will be burned by the Japanese pirates who have no way out and have fallen into madness.It is bound to cause a large number of refugees, and if these refugees are not handled well, they will become rogues.The entire southeast will be in chaos.

"can not be like this!
I cannot let this happen.

At the very least, it is necessary to reduce the losses of the people of Ming Dynasty. "

Luo Xin sat on the chair and thought hard, but still frowning.Now that he has too few soldiers, it is already the limit to be able to hold Hangzhou City, and it is impossible to have much spare power.If there is spare power, it is Qi Jiguang's thousand cavalry.If it is used well, it can contain or even eliminate some Japanese pirates.

Luo Xin called He Nian over, and asked how many Thunderbolt bombs were left in the warehouse. As a result, there were only [-] Thunderbolts.It was too late to do it now, and when he returned to the study, Luo Xin looked at the map on the wall, and gradually had an idea in his heart.But this idea is only to contain and eliminate some Japanese pirates, and it is not of much use to the overall situation.

"In the end, we still have to use firearms!"

Luo Xin made arrangements to start buying materials for making gunpowder in Hangzhou City, and then asked Wan Quan to lead the veterans to start making thunderbolts.

At dusk, Qi Jiguang returned with a thousand cavalry.

Qi Jiguang came back frowning. He was active outside the city, so he knew the Japanese pirates' movements better.At the beginning, they also encountered Japanese pirates, but they were all severely beaten by them. After all, they are real cavalry, which is different from the pseudo-cavalry who operate at sea and get a horse ashore.With one or two fierce blows, the Japanese pirates also remembered that they had not had a good experience in Hangzhou City, so they consciously avoided the boundaries of Hangzhou Prefecture and wandered around in other state capitals, which made Qi Jiguang breathe a sigh of relief.

Recently, however, he noticed a difference.From multiple directions, Japanese pirates began to enter the boundary of Hangzhou Prefecture, making Qi Ji patronize Dongtou instead of West Tou.Let these people be extremely tired.A few times, I was almost surrounded by Japanese pirates, and finally broke out of the siege. That was the time that 47 of a thousand cavalry died for the first time.It hurt Qi Jiguang to the bone. You must know that it is not easy to train a cavalry, and everyone loves it.

Just when he was at a loss, he received the news that Luo Xin asked him to come back, so Qi Jiguang galloped all the way back.

"My lord!" Qi Jiguang saluted Luo Xin.

"Sit down first, drink some water, and have dinner right away."

After drinking a pot of tea, the food and drinks over there are ready.The two of them didn't say anything, they were full first.When the food and drink were removed, a servant brought a pot of tea, and the two of them drank another cup of tea. Luo Xin put down the teacup, and then asked:

"What's the situation with the pirates outside?"

Qi Jiguang ate very well just now, his brows that stretched out immediately frowned and said: "Not optimistic."

"Tell me!"

"The Japanese pirates seem to be converging towards Hangzhou City, and the general is worried that they will attack Hangzhou City again."

A faint smile floated on the corner of Luo Xin's mouth and said, "You mean those Japanese pirates are consciously converging towards Hangzhou City?"

"Isn't it?" Qi Jiguang raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not!" Luo Xin said lightly, "They have to gather in Hangzhou City."

"Why?" Qi Jiguang looked at Luo Xin puzzled.

"Because Hu Zongxian forced them to come here." Speaking of this, Luo Xin's face became more sarcasm: "It is very difficult for Hu Zongxian to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but it is not difficult to drive them in one direction."

Qi Jiguang naturally understood this truth, but he didn't understand why Hangzhou City did this.Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang and said with a smile:
"not understand?"

Qi Jiguang frowned and thought for a while, "Could it be that Hu Zongxian wants to place the decisive battle outside Hangzhou?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin sighed.

"Why?" Qi Jiguang was stunned and said, "Since he was able to find the Japanese pirates, why didn't he wipe them out as soon as possible? Instead, he drove them in the direction of Hangzhou City? Isn't he afraid that the time will drag on for a long time, and His Majesty will blame him?"

"Because he sees me comfortable, he is uncomfortable. He wants to drag me into the water, and I bet that when he drives the Japanese pirates into the boundaries of Hangzhou Prefecture, he will stand still outside the boundaries of Hangzhou Prefecture. As long as the Japanese pirates don't want to If he wants to leave the boundaries of Hangzhou Prefecture, he will block them and allow the Japanese pirates to plunder, murder and set fire to villages and counties in Hangzhou Prefecture.”

"He... deserves to be killed!" Qi Jiguang slapped the table angrily, with extreme anger on his face: "Just to avenge your lord, he put people's lives at risk? Is this still an official of Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course!" Luo Xin laughed sarcastically, "In his eyes, I'm more terrifying than Japanese pirates. He still has a chance to cooperate with Japanese pirates, but he has no chance with me. Therefore, he hates me more than he hates me. The Japanese pirates are even stronger. Because the Japanese pirates only hurt the common people, and did not hurt him who was protected by a large army in the center, but I was able to hurt him, and I have already hurt him. The most important thing is that he feels that in the future I will It will still hurt him, maybe it will hurt deeply. Therefore, his determination to kill me is greater than his determination to kill Japanese pirates..."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin was taken aback for a moment, a thought emerged in his mind, once this thought appeared, it was unstoppable.Luo Xin's eyes could not help exuding killing intent.However, at this time Qi Jiguang did not notice Luo Xin's face, but said:

"Is he not afraid that His Majesty will punish him?"

"Huh..." Luo Xin let out a long breath and said, "Xu Jie will protect him."

"What a nest of snakes and rats."

Qi Jiguang said angrily, it was only at this time that he realized that Luo Xin's complexion seemed not very good, so he asked:
"Sir, what's wrong?"

Luo Xin picked up the teacup and took a sip, the expression on his face had returned to calm.Said lightly:

"It's nothing, I just think that Hu Zongxian didn't just want to drag me into the water, he also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill me."

"You mean...he will send dead soldiers?" Qi Jiguang looked at Luo Xin in shock. Qi Jiguang was no stranger to dead soldiers. Does the army not support dead soldiers?Even he, Qi Jiguang, also raised several dead soldiers.
