There is some temperature difference between morning and evening in Taizhou Prefecture at the end of September, but the daytime is fine and the temperature is suitable.
In Linhai City, the prefect, He Xiong, the prefect, had already gotten up under the service of his newest concubine.
After putting on the official uniform, the concubine Xiying put her face on him in single clothes, then took a step back and said with a sweet smile: "Master is really a man who can make his daughter's family enchanted."
Hosakura is short in stature, but plump. He Xiong fell in love with her petiteness and sweet voice. After hearing this, he couldn't help but touch the tall tower and said with a smile: "Stay at home and I will take care of you when I come back in the evening! Hahahaha!"
He Xiong was quite diligent as an official, so when he arrived at the front office, it was almost dark.
"Sir, there were Japanese pirate activities in Zhapu yesterday."
He Xiongcai was about to sit down in the lobby and was furious when he heard this: "Where is Zhang Jin? Is he a dead person?"
The visitor was Tongpan Yuezhuang of Taizhou Prefecture. He smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, Commander Zhang said that the troops are insufficient and that we need to be vigilant everywhere. It is inevitable that we will focus on one thing and lose another."
He Xiong said dejectedly: "Those Japanese pirates are really cunning!"
Yuezhuang comforted him: "Fortunately, there are not many Japanese pirates. They just went into the village to grab some things and left. But sir, didn't Jinling say that reinforcements would be sent?"
He Xiong sighed: "Even if those reinforcements have set off, they are mostly delayed. It will be good if they arrive by the end of the year."
"Wait until the end of the year?" Yuezhuang said with a headache: "But recently, for some reason, the Japanese pirates have been wandering around the sea outside our Taizhou Prefecture like crazy. This is a posture of launching a large-scale invasion!"
"Why!"
He Xiong also had a headache. Originally, his future was in the north. However, the former Taizhou magistrate caught up with the great victory in the Southern Expedition, and he had made great achievements in driving away the enemy, so he was promoted. The official department then transferred him to Taizhou Prefecture, who was originally going to the north.
Taizhou Prefecture has many mountains and little cultivated land. If it were not close to the sea, it would be impossible to survive.
But while the sea brought wealth, it also brought Japanese pirates, which made the villages living along the coast miserable.
So He Xiong was not willing to work here from the bottom of his heart, but now that he is here, he also has the mentality of doing something good, and he is very conscientious.
"Sir, an army has come from the Lingjiang River. It's so scary!"
He Xiong was overjoyed when he heard this, "They are probably reinforcements. Let's go and greet them."
Yuezhuang frowned and said: "Sir, this is a different path for civil and military affairs. Besides, the one who comes is at most a commander-in-chief. We should just sit back and wait."
He Xiong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Thankfully you reminded me, otherwise"
"grown ups!"
At this time, the second person who came to report the news arrived. He said with a happy face: "Sir, the leader of the army is Uncle Xinghe."
"It's him?"
He Xiong was stunned and quickly walked out.
"Everyone, go, go! That's a vicious man, and he's Taisun's teacher, so hurry up"
Yuezhuang had never heard of Fang Xing¡¯s ¡®deeds¡¯, so he was still a little hesitant, but finally followed him.
"This river is naturally a barrier to the sea, and both southwest and southwest directions were taken into consideration. The site selection at that time was really good."
Fang Xing¡¯s face was a little tanned by the sun, but he was in better spirits. He looked at the city wall in front of him and praised: "If the enemy comes here, they can only fight with their backs against the wall. They won't win. Once defeated, they won't even have anywhere to escape."
Huang Zhong, who was wearing a green robe, also said with a smile: "I heard that there is an East Lake opposite, which can also be used as a barrier. It's really a good place!"
The city wall in front of him is not very high, but its area is not small. When Fang woke up, he estimated that it would be at least five or six kilometers to circle the city.
Turning around and looking at the more than two thousand soldiers standing in line like statues, Fang Xing called for the knife.
"Go and have a look around, and ask those people about the situation of Japanese pirates this year."
Knowing yourself and your enemy, Fang Xing had already begun preparations for work before he even entered the city.
When Xiao Dao led people along the right side, the city gate that had been closed because Fang Xingbu was discovered also opened.
"Uncle, the prefect is out to greet us."
Fang Xing lowered his head and saw a group of people marching out of the city gate. The man in the leader's uniform, wearing a fourth-grade civil servant uniform, greeted them from afar.
"Xinghe Bo came from afar, and I went to serve as the magistrate of Taizhou, He Xiong. If I missed the welcome from afar, please atone for my sins."
He Xiong smiled very elegantly, Fang Xing cupped his hands and said, "He is so polite, Governor."
While he was introducing his subordinates, He Xiong secretly looked at Fang Xing. very young!
This is He Xiong¡¯s first impression.
After the greetings were completed, Fang Xing asked: "Have the food and accommodation for our army been arranged?"
After entering the city, the houses are densely packed, and the roads and alleys are full of people.
Seeing the army entering the city, the pedestrians leaned on both sides and looked at the silent soldiers silently.
The camp is to the east, and East Lake is outside the city.
After arranging to stay, He Xiong invited Fang Xing to a banquet at the government office.
During the dinner, He Xiong asked with some worry: "Uncle Xinghe, these Japanese pirates are cruel and cunning. If there are not enough manpower, they will easily be lured away from the mountain!"
This is because Fang Xing brought too few reinforcements.
Fang Xing waved his hand, suppressing the anger of Lin Qun'an and the two Qianhu officials, and said calmly: "It's not about having many soldiers, but about being good. Fang relied on these soldiers to conquer the south and the north. Could it be that those Japanese pirates are better than the aliens from the grassland?" Is it still powerful? Then Fang really wants to weigh it up."
Yuezhuang, who was accompanying him, heard Fang Xing's serious tone and said, "This place is close to the seaside, and the Japanese pirates come and go without a trace. May I ask how Uncle Xinghe found the enemy?"
Fang Xing glanced at Yuezhuang, "I came to the wrong place today, and I will naturally leave tomorrow."
He Xiong was shocked and hurriedly advised: "Uncle Xinghe, I don't have such intention in lowering my rank!"
When Yuezhuang saw Fang Xing going crazy, he secretly regretted it and hurriedly raised a glass to apologize.
Fang Xing frowned and said: "Fang looked at the invasion routes of Japanese pirates in recent years and found that most of them were in Jiantiao and Taozhu, and the recent frequent attacks were in the Haimen area. Our army is stationed here. Once the Japanese pirates raid , then the water from afar cannot quench the thirst that is near!¡±
Before He Xiong could object, Fang Xing stood up and said, "Fang has already drunk the Jie Feng Wine. Thank you Taizhou Prefecture for your kindness. However, our army is about to leave for Haimen Guards, so we won't stay any longer. Farewell!"
After Fang Xing left with the people, He Xiongcai sighed: "What can these people do even if they are in Haimen Guards!"
Yuezhuang was covered in cold sweat just now at Fang Xing's glance. Hearing this, he agreed: "Your Majesty, what you said is exactly what you said. Uncle Xinghe actually just led such a small number of troops. I see, he is probably not allowed to do anything in the court." Go for it!"
He Xiong was startled when he heard this, and murmured: "It's possible! Otherwise, a commander-in-chief is enough. Why send an uncle here?"
Back to the camp, it didn¡¯t take long for the knife to come back.
¡°Sir, the Japanese pirates haven¡¯t been here recently.¡±
"But sir, those people said that the Japanese pirates were so cruel that even unborn children were singled out and burned to death!"
Fang Xing was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "But is it true?"
¡°The younger one couldn¡¯t understand the local dialect, so he spent money to hire an interpreter. Even the interpreter said it was true.¡±
¡°Bang!¡±
Fang Xing slapped his palm on the wall pillar and said in a cold voice: "Sure enough, dogs can't change their habit of eating shit. It's passed on from generation to generation!"
"Send the order and set off immediately to Haimen Guards." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
