Of course, it is not that there are lower-level officials who bring down superior officials, but the reason why legends are legends is that they think there are too few samples.

Zhou Mengchen also looked forward to meeting Zhao Wenhua.

Because there are no two days, there are no two kings in the country, and there is only one top leader in the local area. Zhou Mengchen seems to suppress Zhao Wenhua in all aspects, but for the same problem, Zhao Wenhua and Zhou Mengchen overlap their powers. This makes Zhao Wenhua naturally have the characteristics of not being able to succeed but not being able to do anything.

If Zhou Mengchen does not get rid of Zhao Wenhua, he will have to spend a lot of energy on Zhao Wenhua in the future. This will involve Zhou Mengchen's energy.

Therefore, a quick knife cuts the mess. This is also Zhou Mengchen's choice. Anyway, the black materials He Xinyin gave Zhou Mengchen about Zhao Wenhua were a large box. In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, Zhao Wenhua died ten times, and it was more than death.

But political struggles also require art.

Zhao Wenhua can certainly put Zhao Wenhua to death, such as corruption, bribery, bullying men and women, rob people's wealth, fighting for merit, deceive superiors and subordinates, and other crimes. However, it is less than a single knife to kill Zhao Wenhua.

There was one thing that Zhou Mengchen felt was worth enough. He was waiting for Zhao Wenhua at this moment.

Zhou Mengchen said to Jiang Yuan very politely: "Go and report, I'll go there now."

Jiang Yuan immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

Jiang Yuan was only a hundred households, one of the three thousand armored cavalry who went south from Zhou Mengchen. Although he was one hundred households, the first Datong Academy participated in the Battle of Qingcheng and fought all night. He also had military achievements from Yang Bo to conquer Ordos. However, after the Battle of Qingcheng, although there were wars in all aspects, the war was not fierce enough, especially the Battle of Ordos, which was simply an armed parade. Moreover, after the Battle of Qingcheng, the Mongols were all honest like sheep. Jiang Yuan had already achieved the military achievements of promoting the Battle of Qianhu, but how could he have no position?

The higher the military post, the more it is, the more it is, there are nowhere to be freed up at will. This is because a group of Datong officers have been transferred out. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for lower-level officers to be promoted.

That's why Jiang Yuan chose to follow Zhou Mengchen south. There were quite a few such officers among the three thousand armored cavalry. It can even be said that except for a few, most officers were under-equipped.

What is a strong general? This is the elite general that Zhou Mengchen wants.

A moment later, Zhou Mengchen and Zhao Wenhua met.

But when Zhao Wenhua looked up at the face of spring breeze, he bowed far away, then walked to Zhou Mengchen, bowed again, and said, "Mr. Zhou is the number one general in the world. With Master Zhou here, we can feel at ease. I respect you, Lord.

Zhou Mengchen said: "If you don't know where, I have heard of Brother Zhao's prestige in Beijing. I'm a newcomer, so please take care of Brother Zhao."

The two sides bowed to each other, looking like old friends I hadn't seen for many years. After a while, Zhao Wenhua then led Zhou Mengchen into the yamen.

This yamen is naturally the yamen of the Governor of Jiangnan.

It is said that Jiangsu is a bulk province, but in fact it has historical origins. For a long time, Suzhou has a governor's yamen. The four prefectures in Jiangnan may not be able to listen to Nanjing.

For example now.

Nanjing is in charge of Nanzhili, but there is also a Jiangnan governor.

Zhou Mengchen and his group settled.

Then Zhou Mengchen looked at the officials who were seated, with dozens of people of all sizes, retaining the prefect of the four prefectures in Jiangnan, the governor of Zhejiang, namely Hu Zongxian. The soldiers in various places were prepared for the road, and some other officials, etc.

After Zhou Mengchen coughed, he showed his seal and placed it with the king's name flag on the table, and took the officials to worship. After all, the king's name flag represents the emperor, and this is also some of the etiquettes for taking office, so I won't go into details here.

After some trouble, even Zhou Mengchen officially announced the appointment of the organization and became everyone's immediate boss.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Jiangnan is a place where the Ming Dynasty has a wealth and wealth, and the hearts of the people in the world have been in charge. The Japanese turmoil has been unable to be pacified for several years. This year, the Japanese pirates harassing Nanjing, which alarmed Xiaoling. When Your Majesty heard about it, he cried bitterly. The master was worried about his ministers' humiliation and his ministers' death. This made Your Majesty worry about this. The first thing I did here is to clear the Japanese pirates to repay the holy grace."

Things like killing Zhao Wenhua cannot be said openly.

We can only put the suppression of Japanese turmoil first.

"Woo woo woo woo woo woo." Zhao Wenhua covered her face and cried.

Zhou Mengchen was stunned for a moment, and even the muscles on his face could not be controlled. He thought to himself: "What is this guy doing?" Fortunately, maintaining his scheming has become Zhou Mengchen's instinct. In a moment, he had regained his calm face and said: "Mr. Zhao, why is this?"

Zhao Wenhua wiped his tears with his handkerchief and said, "Mr. Zhou is right. It is really the crime of his ministers to make His Majesty so worried. I, Mr. Zhao, deserve to die."

Zhou Mengchen thought to himself: "Indeed, you deserve to die. Just let you die, and you are not happy again."

Zhao Wenhua is an excellent actor. At this moment, he was fully exerted, his eyes were red, his face showed sadness, and he looked guilty and indignant, he said, "Although I, Mr. Zhao, are two Jinshis, I am not a military scholar, and what I can do is to order the soldiers to kill the thief. But things are against my wishes. I once thought that it was the soldiers who were not free of life. The Japanese pirates were too fierce, but after thinking about it, they were all my problems. I am ashamed of the soldiers and Your Majesty."

These words seemed to be self-blame, but in fact they were shirking everything about themselves. I am a civil servant and I don’t know how to fight. The reason why I can’t win is that the people below are disobedient and the Japanese pirates are very cunning.

"Now, Your Majesty is wise." Zhao Wenhua suddenly looked cheerful on his face, looked at the north with a pious face, bowed to the sky, and said, "Mr. Zhou was sent. Master Zhou is a famous general in the world, and is not inferior to Xu Chang. What is the only Japanese pirates in front of Master Zhou? Now the Japanese pirates are trapped in Zhapu and have not yet decided to fight for a long time. The subordinates ask the emperor to share his worries for His Majesty, surrender to the nobles, and come to Zhapu in person, and fight hard to destroy the Japanese pirates. The superiors relieve the worries of the emperor and father, and the subordinates' sufferings of the people."

Zhao Wenhua said, bowing to the end.

Zhou Mengchen was already alert.

He would not be moved by Zhao Wenhua's statement. Indeed, what Zhao Wenhua said was also what Zhou Mengchen wanted to do. He was so anxious, didn't he just want to win a battle?

War also concerns the situation.

In the words of the ancients, it is Yin and Yang. In Zhou Mengchen's understanding, it is the change of the situation. When to attack and when to defend, it will not be influenced by people's thoughts, but by the situation on the battlefield.

Today's military operations should be viewed in the general situation of the 35th year of Jiajing in the 34th year of Jiajing. There was a major event in the 34th year of Jiajing, that is, Zhang Jingzhi's departure.

Zhang Jing and Wang Jingjiang were in great victory, which severely damaged the Japanese pirates. However, they did not destroy the Japanese pirates, but only hurt the Japanese pirates.

Later, Zhang Jing was brought down by Zhao Wenhua, and the revenge of the Japanese pirates came. Starting from the second half of the 34th year of Jiajing, the Japanese pirates began to be extremely rampant, almost all the Jiangnan, north and south, up to Shandong and down to Guangdong Japanese pirates.

But after a year, the Japanese pirates have exhausted their offensives, and they have been defeated by the government army and have no strength to continue to fight. They are either tired from the military army. They have either robbed enough things and have to think about how to bring them back.

In a series of battles, Hu Zongxian gradually replaced Zhang Jing and became the new commander of the war. With the fight between the various troops, many victories were won. With the support of Hu Zongxian, the several departments that could be fought were also strengthened. Because of the Zhang Jing case, Hu Zongxian and the generals below gradually dissipated. After all, many things of military generals could not do. If they did not forget this matter on their own initiative, it would be equivalent to asking Zhao Wenhua to take action and erase them.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Therefore, in terms of the strategic situation, the Ming army has recovered and is willing to fight. The Japanese pirates are the descendants of the teacher and are also willing to look down on the Ming army. The soldiers below have been robbed for a year and have not much desire to fight.

After all, robbers are robbers. If they rob too much, they will have no idea of ​​fighting. After all, the things they can take away are limited. At this moment, even if they win a few more battles, they will not be able to take them away. It is very likely that they will lose their money.
