  Chapter 1570 You are not arrogant, and you are not proud of taking credit

"Brother Mu, when the blacksmiths arrive, you can take them to the warehouse to check the broken armor and see if they can be smelted to make iron pieces for armor. If so, please ask them to make it. The price is negotiable, because the workload is relatively large. Large, it can be increased by 10 to 20% compared to the market price."

  Zhu Ping'an called Liu Mu and made arrangements for him to be in charge of receiving the coming blacksmith.

  Afterwards, Zhu Ping'an called the battalion commanders and told him that he was going to Yingtian to wait for the imperial envoy. After arranging the drill and other matters, he took ten personal guards to Yingtian on horseback.

   Arrived in Yingtian, it was still early, Zhu Pingan did not go directly to the yamen of the Ministry of War, but first went to the yamen of the procuratorial envoy, met with Mr. Zhang Nietai and the two deputy envoys, and went to his colleagues for a few cups of tea.

"Hehe, Zihou, congratulations. You are courageous, resourceful, and capable. This time, in response to the Japanese invasion, you led the Zhejiang Army's pioneer Japanese pirates outside the city, and you rushed to wipe out the Japanese pirates at night. , thinking that this time the angel will come, Zihou will definitely be rewarded."

   After seeing Zhu Pingan, Zhang Nietai warmly invited Zhu Pingan to take a seat and said with a smile.

  Zhu Ping'an was naturally modest, saying that the adults in Taiwan praised the prize, and the credit for exterminating the Japanese pirates was the result of the concerted efforts of all officials and people, and he just happened to be at the right time.

   "Great talent is not rude, and credit is not arrogant, hehe, although Zihou is young, he has a good temperament." Zhang Nietai stroked his beard, and praised again with a smile.

  Zhu Pingan...

Next, Zhang Nietai informed Zhu Pingan that he, Deputy Envoy Hu and Deputy Envoy Bai had also received notice from the Ministry of War, and they would also welcome the angel. It is estimated that the angel would arrive tomorrow. Zhu Pingan could go to the Ministry of War to have a face-to-face meeting, and then go back to the Yamen to rest. Waiting, when the time comes, we will greet the angels together.

   This arrangement is proper, Zhu Pingan naturally nodded again and again.

  After that, he went to meet with the two deputy envoys. After having a few cups of tea with his colleagues, Zhu Pingan went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

   After signing in at the Ministry of War, I learned that the imperial envoy went south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and arrived in Yangzhou in the morning.

  The Ministry of War has sent people to meet the imperial envoy at full speed, but no news has been sent back. It is not known whether the imperial envoy will rest in Yangzhou to get tired, or go directly to Yingtian.

   "Because I don't know when the imperial envoy will arrive, Master Zhu can take a rest in the guest room of the Ministry of War, or go to the Bureau of Standardization and Taiwan. We will inform you immediately if there is any latest news."

  The people from the Ministry of War said so.

   "Thank you, I'd better go to the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, please let us know if there is any latest news, then I will come to welcome the imperial envoy with the adults of Taiwan." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands.

   "Your Excellency, you are welcome." The people from the Ministry of War returned the salute.

Zhu Pingan originally wanted to meet Zhang Jing, and then brush up his favorability and presence. Others don't know that Zhu Ping'an is a prophet. Zhang Jing will soon become the number one boss in Jiangnan, and he will soon be the governor of Jiangnan. Governor The military affairs of the six provinces specialize in the suppression of Japanese.

  I led the Zhejiang army by myself, and it happened to be under the control of Zhang Jing. Now I have established a good relationship in advance to facilitate future actions.

  Unfortunately, people from the Ministry of War told Zhang Jing that he was busy with work today, so he would not see any guests. Zhu Pingan had no choice but to put out the idea of ​​brushing his presence, bid farewell and left the Ministry of War, and returned to the Taiwan Office.

   When leaving the Ministry of War, Zhu Pingan met several local officials who came to report to the Ministry of War.

  Because they don't know each other, but they are all wearing official uniforms, and they are colleagues in the same dynasty.

   It can be seen that their faces are a little worried, and they are probably a little scared when the angel arrives.

  The reason why the angels came here this time was to proclaim the decree to reward and punish the officials related to the Shangyu Japanese pirates.

  Shangyu Japanese pirates stretched across thousands of miles, burning, killing, looting, and attacking cities all the way.

  It is reasonable for them to worry...

Because he didn't know whether the imperial envoy would stay in Yangzhou for a day, or whether he would rush directly to Yingtian, Zhu Pingan didn't dare to wander around. He went directly back to the Siyamen, the procurator for the punishment.

  Zhu Ping'an just returned to the yamen, and Chu Xiong came to the door with a box of tea with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Zihou, this is the Longjing Well of West Lake in the Ming Dynasty. A relative of mine owns a tea garden by the West Lake. When I was visiting relatives a few days ago, the relatives forced me to give me a few catties. In the spirit of being happy alone, it is better to be happy with others." Spirit, I divided ten cans, everyone in our yamen has a share, you were not there at the time, I put it in mine, and today you are here, just to make up for you."

  Chu Xiong put the tea leaves on Zhu Pingan's table with a smile, and pushed Zhu Pingan down in front of him.

   "This" Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

   "What's this, everyone has a share. It's just a courtesy to colleagues. It's meaningless to refuse."

   Chu Xiong stared.

   "It's a little less." Zhu Pingan continued with a smile.

Uh.…

This turn is a bit urgent, Chu Xiong was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help pointing at Zhu Pingan and laughed, he couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "Zihou, Zihou, you really deserve the word 'hou' to make us bleed a lot last time to support the military equipment , This time the lion opened his mouth again, this is the best Mingqian West Lake Longjing, you were a big radish at that time. Each of you will share a can, which is enough for my heart."

"Hehe, you are in the bustling and bustling city of Yingtian. You can drink whatever tea you want when you are young. I am training soldiers in the deep mountains and old forests. The conditions are very difficult. Let alone Longjing, even brick tea is rare. I can’t wait to make tea with tree leaves. Your pot of Longjing is enough for a few days. Besides, it’s easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it’s hard to go from extravagant to frugal. After drinking your pot of Longjing, how can those leaves survive? Mouth. You have to be responsible to me." Zhu Pingan laughed and cried poorly.

   "That's right, I was wrong, I'll give you another can later." Chu Xiong begged for mercy, dumbfounded.

   "Then I would like to thank Brother Chu, you gave it on your own initiative, and I didn't force you." Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

  After laughing, Chu Xiong couldn't help congratulating Zhu Ping'an again and again, "Zihou, you've done a great job in besieging the city by Japanese pirates this time. This time the angel came to proclaim the decree, and Zihou will definitely be promoted."

   "At the beginning when you were in charge of military preparations, we were somewhat gloating, especially Zhang Chufeng, who made sarcastic remarks a lot. Now, let alone them, I am very envious of you."

"Of course, envy is envy. This is because you have the ability. We don't have this ability. If it were us, we would not be able to do what Zihou is. We are laymen when it comes to military affairs. Don't talk about exterminating Japanese pirates and making meritorious service. It’s not bad to pull it up.”

  Chu Xiong was envious, but he was very sober, knowing that he and others had no talent in military affairs.

   "Brother Chu is overwhelmed, and I just happened to meet him." Zhu Pingan said modestly.

  Chu Xiong patted Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "Don't be modest. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city, and all the officials in the city, including us, are present. Why didn't we meet at the right time?"

   "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. You have really worked hard in your military training. You finally got some free time. Let's have a good rest." After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chu Xiong stood up and said goodbye.

  Zhu Pingan kept it for a while, and then sent it outside the door.
