The days are passing by, and the seven-day deadline is approaching.

For Du Antong, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, if nothing can be done within these seven days, he will face the punishment of Prime Minister Su.

The punishment can be decided according to the wishes of the left prime minister. After all, Du Antong had promised it in front of the prime minister Su at that time.

If there is really nothing that can be done by then, perhaps he will face confiscation of his home, exile, or beheading, etc.

Today, it is already March.

In the past few days, the rain in Beijing has stopped, as if it was taking turns to be on duty.

The capital city is now shrouded in humid air.

Boatmen can still be seen on several rivers outside the city.

Wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, they held the long bamboo poles tightly in their hands and pushed the boat toward its destination.

In the capital, among the people coming and going, there were people holding oil-paper umbrellas and walking on the wet stone road toward their destinations, there were also people who were walking quickly through the streets in the rain, and there were even rickshaw drivers wearing a raincoat.

Wearing a bamboo hat and sitting at the front of the carriage, pulling goods towards the destination...

At this time, I saw a young man of good build and relatively tall holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking hurriedly on the wet floor towards his destination.

Following his footsteps, I saw him hurried to Du Mansion.

"Please inform me that I want to see Governor Du to discuss important matters."

"Okay, please wait a moment. I will go and report it now."

After responding, the servant guarded by the Du Mansion hurried to the study of Du Mantong, the master of the Du Mansion.

At this time, Du Antong was staying alone in his study. On the one hand, he was deeply blaming himself for the annihilation of the main army of the Mo Dynasty. At the same time, he was worrying about finding a way to save Mo Dynasty, protect the capital, and suppress the rebels.

With.

"Sir," the guard called.

Hearing the servant's call, Du Antong did not respond to the servant, perhaps because he was still immersed in searching for a solution.

The guard had no choice but to continue shouting:

"master."

Then, this time, Master Du's words were still not heard.

If the two doors of the study hadn't been closed, the guard would have wanted to rush in and speak directly.

However, after looking at the closed door several times, no sound came from the guard, so the guard had no choice but to continue shouting:

"master."

In fact, Mr. Du could hear all these sounds. When he heard the first sound, Du Antong was immersed in his thoughts and didn't want to respond. This second sound, he didn't want to respond at all. He just wanted to let him go without saying anything.

However, it won’t work if you don’t respond to the third call.

"What's the matter?! No

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Do you see me thinking of a solution?! It's day by day, can you guys calm down for a while?!" Du Antong's face already showed a bit of anger at this moment.

The servants of the Du family have long been used to facing such a bad attitude.

"Sir, there are officials outside looking for you."

After hearing these words, the anger on Du Antong's face faded a little.

"Official?"

"But which official?"

How would the servants of the Du family know about it? Unless they often visit the Du Mansion, they will naturally get to know a few of them over time, but they really don't know the officials outside.

The guard shook his head, but Du Antong could not see his head. After all, the guard was outside the door, and Master Du Antong was inside. The door was not open and the window sill was not visible. How could he know what the guard standing outside looked like.

Shake your head, this is a habit.

Guard Dao Lai: "I don't know. I said I have something important to discuss with you."

"Let him come in." Du Antong began to look forward to it. After all, it would be good to discuss military matters together.

"Yes." In response, the guard hurried towards the gate of Du Mansion.

"My master invites you."

"Follow the younger one."

Seeing that Mr. Du Fu agreed, the official had a smile on his face.

"good."

Following the steps of the Du family guard, this official walked in front of Du Mantong, the master of the Du family.

"master."

"People are coming."

After hearing this, Du Antong raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. He saw that it was Cen Anze, the Minister of War.

Seeing this, Du Antong had a smile on his face.

"Okay, you go down." Du Antong looked at the guard on the side.

"Yes." The guard responded and walked towards the gate of Du Mansion and continued to guard.

Seeing the guard leaving, Du Antong looked at Cen Anze, the Minister of War, with a smile on his face: "I said which official is looking for me, I'm sorry, it's you."

"It's true that I don't even know you, the Minister of War."

"Sorry for the poor reception."

Cen Anze, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Juniors rarely come to visit me. It's understandable that they don't recognize me today."

"Okay. Cen Shangshu, sit down."

"Eh."

After sitting down, Mr. Du greeted outside: "Here comes! Here's a cup of warm tea!"

After shouting, Du Andong just sat back on his chair: "Cen Shangshu is here. What do you want to discuss with me?"

Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War hurriedly came back: "Junior, I came here to meet with Du Du

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Let’s discuss with the governor how to find a force to suppress the rebel army.”

"oh?"

"Then what good idea have you come up with?"

Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War smiled slightly: "The younger generation does have it, but it cannot be said to be a good method or a bad method."

"How do you say this?"

Cen Shangshu: "In recent days, I know that you are troubled by this matter. But the main force of Da Mo has been destroyed. At present, if you want to suppress the rebel army, there is only one team available, which is the one created since the sea ban was lifted.

A militia."

Upon hearing this, Du Antong frowned: "But this militia team was originally established to get rid of Japanese pirates. If it is used, what will happen to the Japanese pirates?"

Listening to what Du Antong said, it does make some sense.

After a while, Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War wrote: "Cen Shangshu, this has been used, and the sea ban will be implemented for a period of time. When the main force of the Mo Dynasty is restored, the sea ban will be lifted."

"Is this... okay?"

Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War nodded: "Right now, there is no other way but this. The rebel army defeated the main force of the Mo Dynasty. I believe that in a few days, they will definitely come to the capital. If not

If you make a decision early, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Listening to this and thinking about it, it makes sense: "Now this is really the only way, so I will do what you want first."

"good."

"In that case, this junior will go back first."

Du Antong nodded slightly: "Okay."

Then, he shouted outside: "Butler! See off the guests!"

After the housekeeper sent Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War back, Du Antong quickly caught up with the carriage and headed for the Su Mansion.

"Sir, Governor Du came here and said he has a solution."

After listening to Lu Huan's words, Su Xiang raised his head with a sad look on his face: "Bring him here."

"yes."

…

"I will pay my respects to Prime Minister Su."

"No need, tell me quickly, but what can I do?" Su Xiang couldn't wait to hear it.

"Back to Prime Minister Su, if we want to suppress the rebels, there is still another force available, which is the militia team established previously to fight against the Japanese."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiang's face darkened: "This militia team was originally established only to fight Japanese pirates, and its combat capabilities are far inferior to the previous main force."

"Xiang Su, this is the only way at the moment. There are more than tens of thousands of people in the militia. According to the information received by the subordinate, the rebel army has only ten thousand people. It should be able to suppress it."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Su sighed: "Then use it. Once this is over, it will be over."

"Okay. I'll go back and get ready first."
