  Chapter 1523 Famous Yingtian

It was closed in ancient times, and the means of information transmission was backward, not as fast as modern information transmission. The news that the fifty-seven Japanese pirates were all wiped out by the Zhejiang army has not yet spread to the city, and only Lifang, which is close to the city gate, heard the earth-shattering shouts of joy from the top of the city. , Only after knowing the news, most areas in the city still don't know the good news, and the city is still shrouded in panic of the threat of Japanese pirates.

   Near the Confucius Temple in the city, there is a street named Zhuangyuan Lane. There are many inns and homestays in this alley. Many scholars who are preparing for the imperial examination and the rural examination will rent this alley, as a good omen of the street name.

  Of course, there are also some candidates from Jiangnan who rent here to prepare for the exam, and look forward to ranking among the top three in the exam next year.

  When the Japanese pirates attacked, Zhang Jing and other big bosses ordered the conscripts of the common people in the city to help defend the city. The scholars and candidates who were preparing for the imperial examination had certain privileges and status. Unlike ordinary people, they were naturally exempted from being conscripted.

  However, although they were exempted from going up the city wall to help defend, they were panicked and had no intention of preparing for the exam when they encountered such a disaster as the Japanese pirates besieging the city.

  Gui Youguang is also a member of Zhuangyuan Lane's exam preparation candidates, and he is a relatively well-known one. His grade is not too young, he is forty-six this year. He was a Juren in the 19th year of Jiajing. He was thirty-five years old. Zhang Zhi, the chief examiner, admired him very much, called him a "national scholar", praised him as "Jia Yi and Dong Zhongshu are alive", and ranked him second. Juren, I hope he can get one foot closer, become a Jinshi as soon as possible, serve the court as soon as possible, and give full play to his talents.

  However, it is a pity that although he has read the writings of the three dynasties and the Han Dynasty, and has read hundreds of schools of thought, his talent has spread far and wide, but his luck in the exams is not good.

  After failing the general examination the year before last, he lived in Yingtian Zhuangyuan Lane, studying and taking the exam while talking and giving lectures. Scholars with a radius of hundreds of miles around came here one after another, sometimes more than a dozen people, sometimes hundreds of people.

   It can be said that in Zhuangyuan Lane, there is no scholar who does not know Gui Youguang, and everyone respectfully calls him Mr. Zhenchuan.

When the Japanese pirates besieged the city, Gui Youguang was studying the scriptures in retreat. When he went to the toilet in the morning, he suddenly had an inspiration, and he had an ingenious understanding of a passage of scriptures. After cleaning, he went into the study and retreated. . It was already late at night when he was pulled out of the room by three friends.

   Hearing that the Japanese pirates besieged the city, Gui Youguang didn't have the heart to study the scriptures anymore, so he took a few friends to the secret room to take refuge temporarily.

  The secret room is secluded and secret. There are food, drink, wine and vegetables. The four scholars have no interest in learning, and use the energy of alcohol to get angry about state affairs and current affairs. Of course, the focus of their angry youth is the Japanese pirates who besieged the city.

   "The Japanese pirates from Shangyu are simply animals, not human!" A fat literati put down his wine glass and sighed.

"That's not true. This group of Japanese pirates committed many crimes in Shangyu, Weizhou, Shexian and other places before, but they are far away from Yingtian, and the feeling is not so deep, but Jiangning is right under the nose. This group of Japanese pirates committed crimes in Jiangning. The numerous **** cases that have been committed are really hard to write down, making people weep for three liters of blood! Beast, brute!" The long-bearded literati next to the fat literati cursed at the crown with red eyes, "It's too tragic. Most of the Jiangning camp was killed and injured. Jiangning Town was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and almost every family brought a filial piety."

"Nowadays, the Japanese pirates are worse than the northern captives. The south of the Yangtze River is the granary of my Ming Dynasty, and it is also my money bag. The Japanese pirates are raging in the south of the Yangtze River. This is the root of my Ming Dynasty. Thousands of miles The embankment was destroyed by ant nests, not to mention that Japanese pirates are far more harmful than ants!"

   Gui Youguang has a long-term vision and a sense of urgency. Seeing the damage to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, Gui Youguang couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Zhenchuan's opinion is heartening. Japanese pirates are raging in the south of the Yangtze River, and food and taxes are greatly affected. Without food and money, how to calm the northern captives, how to stabilize the southern border, and how to stabilize the various places. The Japanese pirates must do their best. Get rid of it quickly, otherwise, as the master said, the foundation of my Ming Dynasty will suffer!"

  The fat literati was immediately inspired, and nodded vigorously, agreeing with Gui Youguang's comment.

"However, it is easier said than done to get rid of the Japanese pirates as soon as possible!!! The Japanese plague has been intensified for many years, and it has only become more and more serious. From the southeast to Shandong, there is no hope of the Japanese pirates calming down. And this time, this group of Japanese pirates Landed from Shangyu, went deep into the interior of our Ming Dynasty, spanning more than a thousand miles, and broke through more than ten counties. Until today, they have broken through Jiangning and surrounded our Liudu Yingtian! This is Liudu!"

  The last thin literati shook his head and let out a long sigh, showing dissatisfaction and helplessness.

   "Brother Zhengtai, this time it happened in a hurry. The Japanese pirates from Shangyu suddenly came to Yingtian. We didn't know anything about the enemy's situation. Yingtian was terrified, and the soldiers and civilians were frightened, so that's why," the fat literati explained.

  Wen Ji, a skinny literati, couldn't help but sneered, "It happened in a hurry?! Where is the rush! Didn't Zhu Pingan, the prosecutor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, warn three days ago?! You're not a meat eater!"

"Zhu Ping'an?! But Zhu Zihou, the last Enke champion?! I have read all his masterpieces in the provincial and general examinations. I really feel ashamed." Hearing Zhu Ping'an's name, Gui Youguang immediately sat up straight Body, asked eagerly, "Brother Zhengtai, you just said that he warned the police three days ago, what's going on?"

   "Gu Qing is like this." The skinny literati told Gui Youguang the ins and outs of the matter in detail, focusing on the plot where Zhu Ping'an's warning was taken as a joke and laughed at.

   After listening to the whole story, Gui Youguang sighed for a long time, regret, anger, and various emotions filled his chest.

  The story of Zhu Ping'an's warning has been spread throughout the whole world, and those who were present only knew about it because of their study and knowledge.

"Actually, even if there is no warning from Zhu Ping'an, so what! Husband, the defense of the capital is not unsecreted. On weekdays, the nobles and cavalry surround the roads, and the soldiers ask for 80,000 rations a month. This is just for today. Today, five Seventeen thugs slammed the door, even if Zhang Huang is like this, I would rather not be ashamed of the court!" The long-bearded scholar put down his teacup vigorously, and cursed bitterly. +

"What? You said fifty-seven?! There are only fifty-seven Japanese pirates?" When Gui Youguang heard the fifty-seven Japanese pirates, he lost his grip on one of the wine glasses in his hand and fell to the ground. People ask for testimony.

  Scholar with long beard and others nodded vigorously.

"Fifty-seven, fifty-seven, hahahaha." Hearing this, Gui Youguang's jaw almost dropped from shock, his three views were completely ruined, he couldn't help laughing angrily, with a smile, he suddenly clapped his hands on his chest vigorously , looked up to the sky and sighed, tears streaming down like rain.

Ugh.

  The three people in the room couldn't help empathizing, and heaved a long sigh.

   "Mr. Zhenchuan, great joy, great joy." At this moment, an excited voice suddenly came from outside.

Then, a scholar pushed the door open, annoyed Gui Youguang and the others with uncontrollable emotion, "Fifty-seven Japanese pirates have been imprisoned and wiped out by the procuratorate Siqian Zhu Ping'an leading the army, not one was spared." , killed them all, and brought all the corpses here. Now, Master Zhu has led the Zhejiang Army into the city."

   "What?! Are you serious?!" Gui Youguang and the others stood up in a flash, their faces full of surprise and excitement.

   "It's true, it couldn't be more true. The Japanese pirates are showing off their power during the day. None of the soldiers and civilians in the city have seen them before. These Japanese pirates can be recognized even if they are turned into ashes. They are all confirmed. They are definitely the corpses of the Japanese pirates."

  The scholar looked affirmative.

   "Oh my god, this is really wonderful, Zhu Pingan is worthy of being the number one scholar, and he is really a role model for my generation! It should be a big deal!"

   "Dangfu Dabai!"

   Gui Youguang and the others were overjoyed, and the secret room became a sea of ​​joy.

   There are countless scenes like this in Yingtian City, and the whole Yingtian is caught in a huge surprise. Zhu Ping'an's name can't help but everyone knows it.
