You are too shameless. Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but feel his blood boiling when he heard Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian discussing how to put the blame on Zhang Jing in front of him without paying attention to anyone else.
If they were allowed to put the blame on Zhang Jing as they had discussed, Zhang Jing would be in big trouble.
After Zhang Jing took office as governor, in view of the fact that the local garrison soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled and undisciplined and unable to fight, he selected generals and trained them every day, preparing to gather the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers and other foreign soldiers and wipe out the Japanese pirates entrenched in the Sand Fort of Tuolinchuan, Zhejiang in one fell swoop.
Then they took advantage of the victory to suppress Wang Zhi's gang of Japanese pirates. After evaluating the two gangs of Japanese pirates, they launched another campaign to suppress the Japanese pirates entrenched in the coastal islands.
And then eliminate the Japanese threat.
After Zhang Jing took office as governor, he implemented the strategy of gradually and massively suppressing the Japanese pirates based on the fact that the pirates were numerous, powerful, and spread all over the southeastern coast, as well as the actual situation that the troops in the garrisons in various parts of the southeast were weak.
While selecting generals and training soldiers, he also mobilized Guangxi Wolf Soldiers, Shandong Spear Soldiers and other foreign soldiers who were capable of fighting to come and obey his orders.
The reason why he watched more and more Japanese pirates gather in Taolin, Zhejiang, and watched the small and medium-sized Japanese pirates along the coast of Jiangnan join this group of Japanese pirates, was that he watched this group of Japanese pirates become the second largest group of Japanese pirates after Wang Zhi.
That is, after the Guangxi wolf soldiers and others gather together, they will lead the army to surround the second largest Japanese pirate group in Zhejiang Tuolin and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Zhang Jing had already quietly dispatched troops to the vicinity of Taolin, Zhejiang, where the Japanese pirates were entrenched, and quietly set up a pocket formation. For example, sending his Zhejiang troops to Suzhou was one of his actions.
When all the wolf soldiers from Guangxi gather and the time is ripe, Zhang Jing will suddenly attack and wipe out the second largest group of Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.
If you don't move, it's fine. But if you move, the second largest Japanese pirate group will be destroyed.
Then, Zhang Jing would take advantage of the victory and, taking advantage of the high morale, lead his troops to suppress the largest group of Japanese pirates - Wang Zhi.
After these two major Japanese pirate groups were wiped out, the remaining Japanese pirates became a threat, so the army was sent out in all directions to wipe out the Japanese pirates.
After these three steps, the Japanese threat in the south of the Yangtze River was resolved. This was Zhang Jing's idea for suppressing the Japanese.
Zhang Jing's idea of robbing the Japanese was feasible, but it had great hidden dangers, which also led to his tragedy.
Just as Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian had thrown dirty water on Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing had been selecting generals, training soldiers, and deploying troops in the first step of his three-step plan to suppress the Japanese pirates... Up to now, he has indeed not sent troops to suppress the Japanese pirates.
This is also the reason why people in many places in Zhejiang, especially those who suffered from the Japanese invasion, have been cursing Zhang Jing recently.
Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian took advantage of this.
Of course, the most crucial point is that Zhang Jing's ideas of gradual and large-scale suppression of the Japanese invaders were in serious disagreement with the ideas of Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet.
Jiajing and other cabinet ministers such as Yan Song and Xu Jie wanted to suppress the Japanese pirates as soon as possible!
The sooner the better!
Jiangnan was an important tax collection area for the imperial court, and it shouldered the vast majority of the court's wealth income. The long-term invasion of Japan by Japanese pirates led to a sharp reduction in Jiangnan's taxation, which seriously affected the court's financial income, causing the court's finances to tighten and its expenditures to exceed its income. Many military and national affairs were difficult to carry out due to funding issues.
Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet urgently hoped that Zhang Jing would quickly suppress the Japanese pirates, restore financial revenues in the southeast as soon as possible, and enrich the national treasury.
Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet had urged Zhang Jing many times to lead troops to suppress the Japanese pirates, but Zhang Jing always held back.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing now has a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhang Jing.
According to the current situation, if Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian put the blame on Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing would be in danger. If things go wrong, Zhang Jing's historical tragedy would happen ahead of time.
When Zhu Ping'an was angry about the shamelessness of Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian and worried about Zhang Jing, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back.
Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian openly discussed how to put the blame on Zhang Jing in front of him. What was he doing
How dare they be so bold?!
He did not stand on their side, and even stood in Zhang Jing's camp.
Aren't they afraid of being informers themselves?!
They wanted to drag me down with them, and they would definitely ask me to sign the memorial that falsely accused Zhang Jing!
They are killing two birds with one stone, putting the blame on Zhang Jing and dragging themselves into trouble!
Oh shit!
Thinking of this, Zhu Pingan instantly broke out in a cold sweat. These two old bastards were too shady!
"Zihou, what do you think?" Sure enough, Zhao Wenhua's voice soon came over.
When Zhu Ping'an looked up, he saw Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian staring at him intently.
The dagger is revealed!
This is the beginning of pulling yourself into the water!
Whether it was framing Zhang Jing or joining them, this was something he could not accept.
Framing Zhang Jing would not only harm loyal and good people, but would also cast a shadow on the great cause of suppressing the Japanese pirates in Jiangnan, and in the end it would be the general public who would suffer. As for joining them, that would be even more unacceptable. Not to mention the Yan Party's perverse actions, autocratic rule, and harm to the country and the people, even if we see that they are destined to perish, we cannot join them.
Once they are involved, they will inevitably bring disaster to the country and the people, and when the Yan Party falls, they are destined to be liquidated!
The Yan Party is a ship that looks tall and magnificent on the outside, but is actually rotten on the inside and is destined to destruction.
Once you get on this ship, you can't get off. You can only capsize with it in the tide of history!
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an would never go down with them even if he died!
"Zihou, what are you thinking about? You are so absent-minded." Hu Zongxian looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile and urged.
"Yes, Zihou, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Wenhua also looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes and asked curiously.
Zhu Ping'an looked up at the two of them, his brain working rapidly, and then a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and a good idea came to his mind.
So Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhao Wenhua, then at Hu Zongxian, and then opened his mouth.
While the two were waiting for Zhu Ping'an to say something, Zhu Ping'an burst into laughter.
Hu Zongxian was stunned. He had thought about Zhu Ping'an's reaction and made many plans, but he never expected that Zhu Ping'an would laugh at them. Hu Zongxian was so stunned that he couldn't react for a while.
"What Merlin and I talked about is very funny, isn't it, Zihou?" Zhao Wenhua frowned slightly and asked slowly.
Are you laughing at us? Laughing at us for framing Zhang Jing? Laughing at us for shirking responsibility
Zihou, I have high hopes for you. You are capable, talented, brave and resourceful, and you saved our lives again this time.
I really want to pull you in. I can speak for you on the East Tower side and my adoptive father's side. We can let bygones be bygones.
In the future, with the help of our Yan Party, you can give full play to your talents and abilities, and you will be successful.
What's wrong with that?!
Do you really have to reject my kindness?! Zihou?!
He who knows the times is a hero.
Zhao Wenhua looked at Zhu Ping'an with eyes that seemed to speak.
