Chapter 295 294 Patrol again

Yu Dayou was famous for his scholars and was also a martial artist in the court. He seemed to be a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, but it can be seen from his failure to pass the imperial examination that his knowledge may really not work.

Perhaps, if he could go to the north to participate in the imperial examination, the ending would be different.

However, it should be noted that Yu Dayou is one of the few generals who are proficient in land and sea battles in this era.

Yu Dayou was born in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, near the seaside and is very familiar with the sea.

After transferring to the military, he carefully studied tactics. Those who could get scholars were naturally not fools, so Yu Dayou had his own unique insights in military management and combat.

Although the Ming Dynasty in this era did not completely cut off its relations with overseas countries and still accepted tribute from surrounding countries, it was not proactive, so there were actually very few generals familiar with water wars.

Even among the few navy troops, there are not many generals and officials who truly understand the methods of water war, and most of them have hereditary positions.

Therefore, after the general of the sect entered Zhejiang and Fujian to suppress the Japanese, after Hu Zongxian replaced Zhang Jing as the governor of the Japanese suppression, Yu Dayou was promoted to general. He not only commanded the land battlefield to suppress the Japanese, but also commanded the navy troops here to fight against the Japanese pirates on the sea.

Yu Dayou would never have thought that Hu Zongxian would attack him because at this time, Yu Dayou's status could be replaced by no one.

In just two months after being locked and taken to Beijing, the Ming army could only maintain its suppression of Japanese pirates on land. After suffering several defeats at sea, the navy troops did not dare to go out to patrol the sea.

According to Hu Zongxian's plan to report to the court, he planned to use Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang to train a new army to suppress the Japanese, and he could only give up the enemy at sea.

In Yu Dayou's view, the most effective way to resist Japanese pirates is to defend against the enemy on the sea, which requires a large number of large warships, so he has been applying for a new large ship to defend against the enemy from Hu Zongxian, but the approval he received every time is disappointing, with only a pitiful small number.

Yu Dayou knew why Hu Zongxian ordered Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang to train the new army, not only to deal with the rampant Japanese pirates, but also to make a payment. The taxes and services issued every year are not a small number, but also lijin collected for merchants. They need some things to consume the collected silver.

Knowing, he actually thought about it for more than ten years of ups and downs in the officialdom. He had reported these things in the past, but he didn't expect that he, who had originally planned to be with Guangchen, would as long as Hu Zongxian could issue silver to suppress the Japanese on time and not get involved in other matters. Unfortunately, he did not meet his wishes, and he eventually blocked his own way.

Wei Guangde has entered the officialdom, and it is the Beizhen Fushi. He is really not afraid of being separated by the wall. Even if there is one, it was a person sent by Lu Bing. So now Yu Dayou began to tell Wei Guangde about his experience in becoming an official over the years.

At the beginning, he was too straightforward and was excluded by his colleagues everywhere. Some officials even dared to write a letter to the Japanese military because he was just a martial artist. They said angrily: "How can I write a letter to the small school? I will take him off his post."

The official position of the Kinmen guarding the Thousand Houses of Thousand Houses of the Kinmen was deprived of it. It was not until Mao Bowen went to Annan and Yu Dayou wrote a letter to offer advice that he was noticed by Mao Bowen, who was then the Minister of War, and then he was appointed as the garrison of Tingzhou and Zhangzhou.

Not to mention that the Shangguans Yu Dayou followed were either jealous of the talents or possessed military merits. Anyway, because Yu Dayou would not curry favor with Shangguan and gave gold, silver and fine materials, it rubbed Yu Dayou countless times. Fortunately, the nobles in the capital whom he met when he participated in the martial arts were assisted by the side to get through the army to have a Japanese attack.

"I don't want to fight with them anymore. I just want to fight for the country and eliminate the invading Japanese pirates this morning, but I still can't escape the prison."

Speaking of this, Yu Dayou couldn't help feeling depressed. He was now in the imperial prison. Although judging from the previous two interrogations, Hu Zongxian's accusations against him were simply false, the chief judge still insisted that he plead guilty. If it weren't for the protection of the Jinyi School Captain, he would have been scolded to him.

"Uncle Yu didn't ask Lord Lu to deal with it?"

Wei Guangde didn't understand why Lu Bing was standing behind Yu Dayou publicly, and the people from the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple were still biting and insisting on being punished.

Yu Dayou was silent about Wei Guangde's question.

There are some things that he has feelings about, but there is no evidence, so it is of course useless to say more.

Sometimes, maybe pretending to be stupid can get away with it.

He just whispered: "Wenfu privately told the Ministry of Justice and the people from Dali Temple, but they said that what was pressed down from the top was forced to do."

Wei Guangde blinked and knew it was bad in his heart. It seemed that Hu Zongxian was afraid that this matter had been said to Yan Song and Yan Shifan. It was these two people who wanted to punish Yu Dayou.

If this is true, what he thought was very simple would become complicated at first, because the path of Yan Shifan was obviously not working.

Don’t say why Wei Guangde thought of the Yan family’s father and son, isn’t that simple?

First, Hu Zongxian is from the Yan family, which is a well-known thing in the court. At that time, a few people knew about Hu Zongxian. If it weren't for Zhao Wenhua's connection, Hu Zongxian might have continued to serve as the inspector and censor in Zhejiang.

Second, those who stood on the platform, the Ministry of Justice, and the people from Dali Temple dared to bite it. It would be impossible without the support of the Yan family. Now, only Yan Song can compete with Lu Bing in front of Emperor Jiajing.

Both of them were trusted by Emperor Jiajing, but they were left with confidence to Yan Song in the court, while the information was handed over to Lu Bing. The two of them had different divisions of labor, so it was really hard to say what would happen if the lawsuit was fought in front of the imperial court.

"What does Lord Lu mean?"

Wei Guangde knew that Lu Bing might have a solution, but he just didn't know what he planned.

"Let's drag it first, just a few more times. As long as I don't say anything, they have no evidence to prove anything."

Yu Dayou shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"What is it for?"

Although Yu Dayou's words were simple, Wei Guangde roughly understood Lu Bing's thoughts and was in the limelight now, so I'll avoid it for the time being. After all, the case was not tried by the Jinyiwei, but by the Third Department. His influence on the case is really not as good as that of Yan Jiaqiang.

However, what Wei Guangde is concerned about is what Yu Dayou knows and will bring himself to this point today.

Xu Bangrui said in his letter that some time ago, many officials in Jiangnan collectively turned against the people, seemingly trying to imitate the previous routine of turning against Zhao Wenhua. Hu Zongxian seemed to think that Yu Dayou was also from this sect, so he was a chicken and killed the chicken to scare the monkey.

This time, Yu Dayou was silent for a long time before sighing and said, "It is probably related to the battle in Cengang, Zhoushan. Hu Zongxian adjusted his military deployment without knowing me, so that the Japanese pirates could find an opportunity to break out. I don't know the others."

Yu Dayou expressed his guess, but Wei Guangde was shocked.

Hu Zongxian impeached Yu Dayou and let the Japanese pirates go. At that time, Wei Guangde thought that the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and it was not surprising that something went wrong. The Japanese pirates came out only because of their luck. Who would have thought that according to Yu Dayou's statement, Hu Zongxian did it deliberately. This is no wonder why Fujian officials wrote a large number of letters to impeach Hu Zongwu.

There are many people who can see it, but there is no evidence.

If so, Yu Dayou wouldn't have to stay in the imperial prison.

"Did Lord Lu listen to Uncle Yu's injustice?"

Wei Guangde asked in a low voice again.

"I heard from the sky that I can see the picture, and there is no room for recovery."

Yu Dayou shook his head and said, "At that point, if the emperor dictates, in order to prevent the great cause of Jiangnan, I can only use me to sacrifice the flag. I can't say it, I must not say it."

Wei Guangde nodded. Hu Zongxian is now in charge of Jiangnan's suppression of Japanese destruction. In terms of status and importance, it is definitely far beyond Yu Dayou. In the view of Emperor Jiajing, it may be worthwhile to sacrifice one Yu Dayou to fulfill Hu Zongxian.

After a while, no one paid attention to this case. If you look for an opportunity to make peace with the Yan family, maybe there will be one day for Yu Dayou to get out of the imperial prison.

By this time, Wei Guangde naturally would not say his original plan, and he wanted to go to Yan Shifan to talk about it. Now it seems that he can't do it anymore.

After leaving the imperial prison, Wei Guangde did not go to see Lu Bing again. He went there when he first came. Lu Bing just arranged for someone to take him to see Yu Dayou as soon as he met him, as if there was something very important.

He originally wanted to help solve Yu Dayou's case, but when he was in Nanjing, he heard that Yu Dayou's case seemed a bit troublesome and kept dragging it on. It turned out that there was an inside story here, so no wonder Lu Bing couldn't help it.

It’s not that you can’t deal with Hu Zongxian, but beating a dog depends on the owner. At that time, you will inevitably fight Yan Song with Emperor Jiajing. He is not an easy person to deal with.

In fact, the relationship between Lu Bing and Yan Song can be said to be very complicated, with cooperation and opposition, and they both hold some of the other's handles. Relatively speaking, Lu Bing will suffer a little, so Lu Bing is also a little jealous of the situation.

Wei Guangde returned to his past days, and went to Hanlin Academy to pay the first visit every day on time, and took time to visit Taichang Temple and Zhanshi Mansion every month.

In theory, Wei Guangde's main work should actually be transferred to Zhan Shi Mansion, but who has let Zhan Shi Mansion have nothing to do all day long?

However, Wei Guangde's leisurely days were not long. Chen Ju in the palace asked a little servant to secretly send him news, and he might have to send him to patrol the border town again.

In the surprise of Wei Guangde, the next day, Lu Bing also sent someone to send him the same message.

Such news came from both channels at the same time, which made Wei Guangde believe it even if he didn't believe it.

But Chen Ju just handed over the news, but did not explain the reason clearly. It was Lu Bing's side that made Wei Guangde suddenly enlightened and understood what was going on.

Two years ago, Xuanfu Town was in an emergency. Emperor Jiajing sent Weng Pu, the Minister of War, to take Wei Guangde to the border, but halfway through the Tartars, they broke through the border wall and rushed into Xuanfu. Their border patrol ended in a hurry. Weng Pu immediately took over the command of the battlefields of Xuanfu and Altan.

Some time ago, Li Yongjing, the military officer of the Military Affairs Office, impeached a large number of military and civilians in Jizhen to escape, resulting in a significant reduction in the military strength of Jizhen and also affected the construction of the border wall.

Emperor Jiajing naturally attached great importance to this memorial after seeing it.

Jizhen is the last barrier to Beijing. If Jizhen is lost, the capital will be in danger. So I also want to figure out what Jizhen is like now, and whether other military towns are the same, especially Xuanda.

Emperor Jiajing still vaguely remembered that the Jinyiwei sent a secret report two months ago. It was not very important, but it involved a name that he was already a little unfamiliar with, Shen Lian.
