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

"Damn, do you think I am a god! If you don't give a penny, a soldier, and no power will be given. I am still a fourth-rank prefect, and Hu Zongxian is also a third-rank governor. The soldiers in the southeast are in his hands. Go and find him. As long as he destroys the Japanese pirates, I will make money for you."

At this time, Hu Zongxian also looked sad. How could Emperor Jiajing not give an order to Luo Xin?

The decree given to Hu Zongxian was not so polite, and there was no way. Emperor Jiajing was a little embarrassed to Luo Xin. He could not give Luo Xin military power. Luo Xin had the power to control the military power in the north. Now that he had the power to control the military power in the south, can Emperor Jiajing still sleep in the future?

If he couldn't give Luo Xin's military power, it would be even more impossible. He pointed at Luo Xin and made money for him, so he asked Luo Xin to let the horse run away, but did not give the horse grazing. In this case, how could he be strong with Luo Xin? Therefore, Emperor Jiajing's evil fire was sent to Hu Zongxian.

Damn, I give you both soldiers and money, what do you think you have made the Southeast look like?

I ask you to give you a glimpse of military power. Even if you can't destroy the Japanese pirates in a short period of time, there is no problem in escorting the Maritime Bureau, right?

but……

Look at what you did?

The southeast became more and more chaotic, so Emperor Jiajing ordered Hu Zongxian to wipe out all the Japanese pirates who invaded the Ming Dynasty within half a month.

Half a month?

How is it possible?

It's almost the same for half a year.

He had just suffered a defeat, and 50,000 people met the six thousand real Japanese, but was killed by the six thousand real Japanese. At this time, he really missed Yu Dayou.

"well……"

Hu Zongxian sighed a long time, sat there with his brows locked, thinking about how to wipe out these Japanese pirates. These days, they could not be said to have failed. They also killed more than 2,000 Japanese pirates, but more casualties were caused by the officers and soldiers. Moreover, the Japanese pirates now have no plans, one end in the east, and the other end in the west, making the officers and soldiers exhausted from pursuing.

"Uncle!" Hu Ning, who was standing beside him, suddenly felt a sense of inspiration in his heart: "We might as well take every step to force the Japanese pirates to Hangzhou Prefecture."

At this time, Hu Ning knew that his family would never make up with Luo Xin. Since that is the case, he should do his best to crack down on Luo Xin.

Why are we all exhausted and suffered heavy casualties here? You have nothing to do in Hangzhou? You simply drove the Japanese pirates to Hangzhou Prefecture and dragged Luo Xin into the water.

Hu Zongxian's heart was moved when he heard this, and his eyes looked at Hu Ning and said:

"Ning'er, Luo Xin was known as the Ming Dynasty's military god. At first, his uncle also thought that he had nothing but a false reputation, but the times were just a hero. But what he did during his time in the southeast was really extraordinary.

You have to know that it is definitely not easy for us to force more than a dozen Japanese pirates to Hangzhou. I am afraid there will be no shortage of casualties. At that time, if Luo Xin was asked to annihilate those Japanese pirates, we would give him a great contribution. Xu Hai and Xin Wulang were both killed under his command, and finally he annihilates the remnants of the Japanese pirates, and he will take all the credits. What will Your Majesty treat me at that time?"

"Uncle, Luo Xin only has Qi Jiguang's three thousand soldiers, and Yu Dayou's five thousand men have all returned to us. However, there are more than 10,000 Japanese pirates, especially the six thousand real Japanese are all tough hands. As the saying goes, a good wife cannot cook without rice. I don't believe that Luo Xin can annihilate more than 10,000 Japanese pirates with just 3,000 people?

And after we dared to enter Hangzhou Prefecture, we were on the periphery of Hangzhou Prefecture without fighting. Didn’t Luo Xin keep watching our excitement? This time it was our turn to watch his excitement. When both he and the Japanese pirates were injured, we went to clean up the mess. In this way, the faults are his and the credits are ours."

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly and thought. Hu Ning came to Hu Zongxian and whispered with his ears:

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

Speaking of this, 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 had already seen that if Luo Xin still had to develop like this, it would take less than a few years for Luo Xin to be promoted to return to Beijing. By that time, it would probably be his turn to Hu Zongxian to have a hard life.

What Hu Ning said makes sense. They forced the Japanese pirates into Hangzhou Prefecture, but they did not leave, but surrounded them nearby without attacking. Waiting for both the Japanese pirates and Luo Xin to suffer losses. As long as they seize the opportunity, suddenly attack and annihilate the Japanese pirates, the credit will be made by him Hu Zongxian. Even if they don’t have the opportunity to kill Luo Xin, they can still reduce Luo Xin’s strength.

Why not do it?

So he nodded and the Governor's Office immediately started to operate. The nearly 300,000 troops in the southeast were no longer aimed at annihilation of the Japanese pirates, but instead aimed at forcing the Japanese pirates into the territory of Hangzhou. In this way, when Hu Zongxian's army faced the Japanese pirates, they always gave the Japanese pirates a chance to escape to the Hangzhou pirates. They would never surround them, and they would always leave them a direction to escape. In this way, the Japanese pirates would naturally not fight with the Ming officers and soldiers. The Ming officers and soldiers were fewer casualties, and the Japanese pirates were also fewer casualties.

but……

The Japanese pirates' footsteps are getting closer and closer to Hangzhou Prefecture.

At the same time, Hu Zongxian sent a hundred dead soldiers to sneak into the Japanese pirates and waited for an opportunity to assassinate Luo Xin.

Hangzhou Prefecture.

The prefect's office.

Every day, countless messages sent by scouts were placed on Luo Xin's desk. At this time, Luo Xin was looking at the news one by one, and his brows gradually frowned.

From these messages, Luo Xin felt something was wrong. He stood up and came to a map, and his fingers slowly strode on the map. The expression in his eyes became more and more shocking.

"Bang……"

Luo Xin punched the wall with a fierce punch. Judging from the Japanese pirates' traversing route, they were approaching Hangzhou Prefecture. The reason why the Japanese pirates were approaching Hangzhou Prefecture was completely forced by Hu Zongxian's army.

"What a Hu Zongxian!"

"Come!"

"Sir!" A guard appeared at the door.

"Transfer the order to ask Qi Jiguang to withdraw his troops back to Hangzhou Prefecture immediately."

"Ode to the Lord!"

Seeing the guard leaving, Luo Xin returned to his seat and sat down with his brows locked. The reason why he asked Qi Jiguang to come back was because he was afraid that Qi Jiguang would be made into dumplings by the Japanese pirates. Even if Qi Jiguang left again, a thousand people would not be able to fight more than ten thousand Japanese pirates. Moreover, more than 10,000 Japanese pirates have now snatched a lot of horses in the post station and county towns. They are no longer simple infantry, and have a trend of development like cavalry. In this way, Qi Jiguang is even more dangerous.

but……

What should I do after Qi Jiguang comes back?

Do you just stay in the door and guard the Hangzhou Prefecture? Let the Japanese pirates burn, kill and loot the villages and counties of Hangzhou Prefecture?

In this way, after the Japanese pirates are annihilated, this year it will be a disaster for the people of Hangzhou Prefecture. All their wealth will be stolen and the crops will be burned. I am afraid that the houses will be left without a retreat and the Japanese pirates will be burned. It will inevitably cause a large number of refugees. If these refugees are not handled properly, they will become bandits. The entire southeast will be in chaos.

“It can’t be like this!

I can't let something like this happen.

At the very least, we must reduce the losses of the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Luo Xin sat on the chair and thought hard, but was still frowning. Now that he had too few soldiers, it was already the limit to be able to defend Hangzhou City, and it was impossible to have much more strength. If he had enough strength, it would be Qi Jiguang's thousand cavalry. If he used it well, he could restrain and even eliminate some Japanese pirates.

Luo Xin called He Nian and asked how many thunderbolts there were in the warehouse. When he asked, there were only 1,500. Now it was too late to do it. When he returned to the study, Luo Xin looked at the map on the wall and gradually had an idea in his mind. However, this idea was only to restrain and eliminate some Japanese pirates, and it was not of much use for the overall situation.

"In the end, you have to use a firearm!"

Luo Xin arranged the arrangement and began to purchase materials for making gunpowder in Hangzhou City, and then asked Wan Daquan to lead the veterans to start making thunder bullets.

At dusk, Qi Jiguang returned with a thousand cavalry.

Qi Jiguang returned with a frown. When he was operating outside the city, he naturally knew the movements of the Japanese pirates. At the beginning, they had encountered Japanese pirates, but they all severely hit the Japanese pirates. After all, they were all real cavalry, which was different from the puppet cavalry who were operating at sea and got a horse ashore. After one or two fierce attacks, the Japanese pirates also remembered that they had not had a good experience in Hangzhou City, so they consciously avoided the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture and wandered in other prefectures, which made Qi Jiguang breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he recently discovered a difference. From multiple directions, the Japanese pirates began to enter the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture, allowing Qi Ji to visit the east end, but could not take care of the west end. They were extremely tired. On several occasions, they were almost surrounded by the Japanese pirates and finally broke out of the siege. That was when a thousand cavalry died for the first time for forty-seven people. It hurt Qi Jiguang to his bones. You must know that training a cavalry is very difficult, and everyone is in the heart.

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

"Sir!" Qi Jiguang bowed to Luo Xin.

"Sit down first, drink a little water, and start your meal immediately."

After drinking a pot of tea, the wine and food over there was ready. The two of them didn't say anything, and they first ate their fill. When the wine and food were removed, the servant brought a pot of tea. The two of them drank another cup of tea. Luo Xin put down the tea cup and then asked:

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

Qi Jiguang had a great time just now, and his stretched brows immediately frowned and said, "Not optimistic."

"Tell me!"

"The Japanese pirates seem to be gathering towards Hangzhou City. We will be worried that they will attack Hangzhou City again."

Luo Xin smiled faintly on his lips and said, "Are you saying that those Japanese pirates are consciously gathering 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 in confusion.

"Because Hu Zongxian forced them to come." Speaking of this, Luo Xin's sarcasm was even stronger: "It is difficult for Hu Zongxian to annihilate the Japanese pirates, but it is not difficult to drive the Japanese pirates 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 smiled:

"not understand?"

Qi Jiguang frowned and thought for a while, saying, "Does Hu Zongxian want to put the battlefield of the decisive battle outside Hangzhou City?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin sighed.

"Why?" Qi Jiguang said in a daze: "Since he can find the Japanese pirates, why don't he annihilate the Japanese pirates as soon as possible? Instead, he has to drive towards Hangzhou City? Aren't he afraid that time will be delayed for a long time, and Your Majesty blamed him?"

"Because he feels comfortable when he sees me, he feels uncomfortable. He wants to pull me into the water, and I bet that when he drives the Japanese pirates into the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture, he will hold troops outside the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture. As long as the Japanese pirates do not want to leave the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture, he will block them and allow the Japanese pirates to rob and kill and set fire in Hangzhou Prefecture Village and County."

"He... deserves to be killed!" Qi Jiguang slapped the table angrily, with extreme anger on his face: "Just to take revenge on Lord, he ignored the lives of the people? Is this still an official of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course!" Luo Xin smiled sarcastically and said, "In his eyes, I am more terrifying than the Japanese pirates. He has a chance to cooperate with the Japanese pirates, but he has no chance to be with me. Therefore, he hates me even more strongly than hates the Japanese pirates. Because the Japanese pirates only hurt the people, and they did not hurt him who was protected by many army in the center, but I can hurt him and have already hurt him. The most important thing is that he feels that I will hurt him in the future, and maybe he will hurt him very deeply. Therefore, his determination to kill me in his heart is greater than that to kill the Japanese pirates..."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin was stunned and a thought emerged in his mind. Once this thought appeared, it would be uncontrollable. Luo Xin's eyes couldn't help but exude murderous intent. However, Qi Jiguang did not notice Luo Xin's face at this time, but said:

"Aren't he afraid that His Majesty will punish him?"

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

"It's really a nest of snakes and rats."

Qi Jiguang said angrily. At this time, he realized that Luo Xin's face 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. He said lightly:

"It's nothing. I just think Hu Zongxian is not just trying to pull me into the water. He also wants to take my life while the chaos is in trouble."

"You mean... he will send out dead soldiers?" Qi Jiguang looked at Luo Xin in shock. Qi Jiguang was not unfamiliar with dead soldiers. Who doesn't raise dead soldiers in the army? Even Qi Jiguang also raised several dead soldiers.
