Chapter 260 Rexianing the Wild Wave
The coast of Fujian, which had just calmed down for a few months, set off another wave at the end of May. A fleet of sea wolves suddenly appeared again in the coastal area of Fujian. Although they did not attack the shore this time, they still chose several places and knocked a few ashore. The gentry who fought against the sea wolf was in the house outside the city, as far as nearly a hundred miles on land, and the place he passed was like entering no man's land.
Fujian's coastal officers and soldiers have now changed their reputation with the sea wolf. When they heard that the sea wolf began to engage in activities at the seaside again, they learned that the news was not the first time to rush to the scene of the accident. Instead, they immediately collected their troops and retreated to the acropolis or barracks. A turtle shrank its neck and ignored the activities of the sea wolf. See you.
And this time, the sea wolf did not take the initiative to attack these officers and soldiers. As long as the officers and soldiers did not have no eyes and came to trouble them, they would only do what they should do, knocking on some of the village castles of the gentry who were enemies of the sea wolves, and retreated to the sea after a big attack.
These are not too much. What's more, the sea wolf fleet actually hung the sea wolf flag and appeared again in the mouth of Jinjiang, Meizhou Bay, and even in the mouth of the Minjiang River.
Some warships with high hanging sea wolf battle flags unexpectedly broke into these forbidden places, released sampan boards, and began to explore the depth of water in the river.
Such an action spread to the major government in Fuzhou City almost immediately. After hearing the news, even though his face turned pale, he patted the case angrily and said angrily, "Hasn't this treachery surname Yu already agreed to suspend the army and strike? Now all of a sudden, what do you want to do?
After hearing this, a staff member next to him frowned and quickly waved his hand to drive the attendants out of the room, and then whispered, "Your Excellency is angry, please be careful!" If such words spread, it will damage the image of adults! If those fans learn the news, it may be transmitted to the Beijing Normal University, I'm afraid it will be troublesome!"
Cai Shanji was also scared when he heard this, and his face suddenly turned a little pale. He quickly nodded and said yes. He immediately recruited several servants and two maids in the room just now, showing a stern expression and shouted to them, "You haven't heard anything today. If this matter spreads, don't blame Ben. You are welcome! If I hear any news, I will never let any of you go! Did you hear it all?"
Several servants and maids were so scared that they knelt down and said yes one after another, and then were driven out like a duck by Cai Shanji.
Looking at the backs of these exordained servants, Cai Shanji couldn't help sweating secretly. Only a few people knew about the negotiation and agreement with the sea wolf in private. He dared not let them know, including his recent servants, and even his wife and concubine dared not tell them, more Don't say that anything on the text was left, all the words involved in this matter were burned by him.
The standard of this kind of thing is to die by seeing the light. Although there are rumors that he and the sea wolf are talking about peace, after all, this is just a rumor in the world. There is nothing he can do without evidence. If the people around him spread this matter, he will definitely be informed by Jinyiwei and sent to Beijing. The Wei Party will make a big fuss about this matter, and it is estimated that his whole family will be unlucky at that time.
So he said these words in a hurry today, which really scared him when he remembered it afterwards.
After seeing that there was no one else in the room, Wen Liufang asked Cai Shanji to sit down and said, "Dongweng, please calm down for the time being. Although the adult and the thief have reached an agreement, this kind of thing must not be known to others, otherwise it will definitely cause chaos!
As for the sudden such thing happened by the wolf thief, the students thought it was not related to the new Lord Futai!
You should know that after the first two Futai Lord took office, they tried to be unfavorable to the thieves. The students felt that this time it was likely that after hearing that the new Futai Lord took office, Yu Thief wanted to give Xiong Futai a down first and let Xiong Futai go out and continue to hit his idea!"
Cai Shanji reached out and picked up a sweat towel on the table, stained the sweat on his forehead, coughed dryly to hide the fear and embarrassment in his heart, and nodded, "This is possible!" But isn't it too much for him to do this? You should know that the matter at the beginning of this year has just subsided. Once he provoked Lord Xiong, he was forced to ask the imperial court to unite several provincial capitals to suppress it. What's the benefit for Yu Xiaotian?
Wen Liufang smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "This Yu Xiaotian can't be speculed by ordinary people. If he does this, he may have his own ideas. Now the key is to see how Xiong Futai should deal with this matter!
But now the sea wolf's fleet has driven to the mouth of the Minjiang River, which directly threatens the safety of Fuzhou City. Although there is Xiong Futai in the town, adults also need to take care of the magistrate and the capital to make some preparations. In case Yu Xiaotian loses his temper and shells Fuzhou City, I'm afraid this matter will be very big. ."
Cai Shanji could only nod and say yes, greeted people in, and began to arrange it.
Just when Cai Shanji was shocked and uncertain, of course, Xiong Wencan also received the news that the coastal state governments flew to the governor's office like snowflakes. Some of them asked for help and warned them. For a general time, the governor's office was lively and unopened, which shocked Xiong Wencan and couldn't figure it out for a moment. Why did Chu lose his temper again this time?
It is reasonable that after he took office this time, he did not make any gesture to deal with the sea wolf at all. Even when the officials discussed the matter, he rarely mentioned these things. He just asked about some things that happened last year and local civil affairs, but what is Yu Xiaotian worried about this time? Well, why did you suddenly lose your temper again?
So he quickly sent an order to the generals of Fubiao to immediately strengthen the deployment of Fuzhou City. In addition, he sent people to guard the mouth of the Minjiang River to prevent wolf thieves from entering the bandits. In addition, he also sent an order to the coastal states and governments to strengthen their vigilance, especially for the city, otherwise they should not make any mistakes, otherwise ask for them!
After these things were arranged, he quickly recruited the staff to discuss the staff in his study, and wanted to hear what the staff had on this matter and why Yu Xiaotian suddenly lost his temper.
The staff were also not clear about this. They had everything they said for a while. Some people said that Yu Xiaotian was going to demonstrate to Xiong Wencan, some people said that Yu Thieves went back on their terms, and some people said that after the wolf thieves were powerful, they were not afraid of official prestige.
But in the end, a person stood up and said, "Your excellency! Students think that there may be all these reasons, but it is not true!"
"Oh? So what do you think of filial piety?" Xiong Wencan took a look at the staff who stood up and spoke. This man was only about 30 years old. He came to his hometown. After being admitted to Juren, he went out to travel. Later, because of his hometown, he threw himself into Xiong Wencan's family and acted as Xiong Wencan's staff,
This person usually keeps a low profile and rarely comes out to talk, but his brain is quite flexible. Occasionally, he can always point to key places, so Xiong Wencan also looks at him differently. Today, when he saw him get up to speak, he politely asked him.
This Qian Xiaocheng saw that Xiong Wencan noticed him, so he continued to say: "The student believes that this thief is afraid that this time he is going to plunder the coast of Fujian again. I'm afraid he has a deep intention to do so!
The students also read the Tang newspapers in various places in the past few days. Although the wolf thieves held a big event this time, it seemed softer than the last activity. They did not attack the county or large market towns, nor did they take the initiative to attack the defenders in various places, but pulled out some castles.
Although there is a demonstration, the students feel that they seem to have a feeling of putting pressure on the adults. Maybe the thief wants to force the adults to take the initiative to appraise them this time?
After listening to Qian Xiaocheng's words, there was an uproar in the room. Many people thought it was impossible. How could such a means be used to take the initiative to force the government to recruit?
But after hearing this, Xiong Wencan didn't say anything. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand and said, "No matter what he wants to do now, in short, it can't be fake for him to demonstrate to this official! In this case, it seems that this matter cannot be put off! Let's break up. Xiaocheng will stay for a while. I have something to discuss with you!"
After everyone dispersed, they looked back at Xiong Wencan's study and was a little jealous. After all, through this incident, Qian Xiaocheng can basically be regarded as Xiong Wencan's cronies and become the governor's cronies. As long as Xiong Wencan's career goes well in the future, there is no doubt that people like them will be promoted. There will be great benefits. At that time, only Xiong Wencan needs to recommend it casually. At least it should not be a problem to be a magistrate. The worst thing is to casually get a magistrate of the county.
As the saying goes, 100,000 snowflake silver in the Qing magistrate a year. This also refers to standard clear officials who don't reach out to get the money they shouldn't take. What's more, there are several people who plan to be bullshit officials now. In addition to shining their linters, who want to be officials don't want to make a lot of money during their tenure as officials and save a generation. What about the big base business?
So it is undoubtedly a very eye-catching thing to be able to join Xiong Wencan's cronies, but there is no way. Who makes Qian Xiaocheng and Xiong Wencan themselves be from the same hometown? In addition, Qian Xiaocheng is also a quite smart person, which can't be compared!
