Chapter 985 Zheng Jing begs for help
"Your Highness the Crown Prince forgives your sins. I will be late to save you. I deserve to die!"
After He Shouyi got ashore, the first thing he said turned out to be this.
Zheng Jing was moved to tears when he heard this.
It was clearly He Shouyi who saved him.
If He Shouyi hadn't arrived in time, they would have been able to hold on for at most two days.
The Ming army will definitely lose food in two days.
How could he blame such a loyal minister and righteous man?
"General He, please get up quickly. Thank you this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, I really don't know what to do."
Zheng Jing quickly helped He Shouyi up, and then said earnestly: "This time, this prince was indeed negligent. Unexpectedly, another group of Japanese pirates would take the initiative to attack, and they were seized by this group of Japanese pirates and forced to trap on the island."
Zheng Jing took the initiative to admit his mistake and his attitude was quite sincere.
He Shouyi naturally didn't blame Zheng Jing, so he nodded and said, "The Japanese pirates are cunning, and the prince needs to be more careful. But it's fine, it's fine."
After the two of them had greetings, Zheng Jing then thought of letting He Shouyi go inside and talk.
What does it mean to say here?
"General He please come in and ask."
Zheng Jing told He Shouyi a lot about the whole story, and He Shouyi suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect that the Japanese pirates are of this scale in the southeast, and they are already in a big way. If they are not eradicated, they may really cause serious troubles."
Zheng Jing also said: "Yes, if it weren't for personal experience, I wouldn't have believed that the Japanese pirates had reached this scale. I'd better let them take advantage of the loopholes."
"Since that's the case, we might as well write a letter to the court and His Majesty to report the situation."
"Okay, I'm just thinking that way. But let's talk about it when I arrive at Quanzhou Prefecture. The environmental conditions here are really bad."
After a conclusion, the two planned to set off and return to Quanzhou Prefecture.
Fortunately, He Shouyi brought enough ships, and after squeezing, he could still bring all the Ming army trapped on Xiaolangyu.
After learning that the prince's prince was rescued and all the Japanese pirates were killed, the happiest person was the prefect Mei.
If Zheng Jing had any problems in his territory, even if he had ten lives, it would not be enough to lose.
But now it's better. He can rest assured that His Royal Highness is safe and sound.
"Magistrate Mei, this prince thinks that the Japanese pirates of Quanzhou should have been eliminated almost. He wants to go somewhere else to take a look."
Zheng Jing was very brave this time, not only to be responsible for eliminating the Japanese pirates in Quanzhou Prefecture, but also to be under his rule throughout Fujian and the coastal areas of Guangdong.
He must ensure that all Japanese attacks in these places will be eliminated, otherwise he will be held accountable by His Majesty the Emperor.
Being held accountable is second to the point. The key is to lose the face of the Zheng family. Zheng Jing can't bear this responsibility.
Prefect Mei was a little surprised.
"Ah, is Your Highness the Crown Prince going to leave now? You are not in a hurry to do this. It's so hard for you to wipe out the Japanese pirates. You might as well take a rest in Quanzhou for a while, so that you can express your feelings."
Of course, Zheng Jing understood what the prefect Mei meant. Prefect Mei wanted to make up for his mistakes through actions.
But Zheng Jing was really in a hurry. He shook his head and said, "The prince has made up his mind for this matter, so Prefect Mei should not persuade you anymore. But I will speak well for you on your side. Don't worry, you won't involve you."
Zheng Jing said so clearly that if Priest Mei was not tactful, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"Okay, that's fine. The emperor gave His Highness the crown prince a fortune."
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Jing shook his head and said, "Don't say these words again. This prince will pacify the Japanese for the people. How can I get the people's wealth and ointment? Please come back."
Prefect Mei was bored and had to leave in a very embarrassing way.
Zheng Jing gained a lot after this battle. After experiencing a very dangerous moment, he began to understand the heavy responsibility on his shoulders as the head coach of the first army.
He will never make a decision in a busy manner again
Yu Qi returned to Shandong and was filled with emotion.
Especially when he returned to Dengzhou City, all the past came to his heart, making his heart feel very extraordinary.
The ancients are gone, and the past is unbearable to look back on.
Many brothers who fought side by side with him have now turned into a handful of bones.
Many people who should not die died, but fortunately Yu Qi did not let down their trust and helped the court to support the country.
Those brothers should be able to rest in peace in the underworld, right?
Of course, the first thing Yu Qi did after returning to Dengzhou was to go to the graves of these dead brothers to worship.
Later he went to visit the widows and orphans of the fallen soldiers.
Although the court gave them enough pensions, the family suddenly lost a pillar, and life would definitely be difficult.
After seeing Yu Qi, these widows and orphans evoked painful memories and burst into tears one by one.
Yu Qiming gave each of them fifty taels of silver. This was the reward silver given to him by the court, and he took out all of them.
This is how good brothers should take care of each other.
Yu Qi did not take good care of them during their lifetime, and could only convey his love to their widow orphans.
I just hope they can rest in peace.
After all this, Yu Qi went to the Governor's Office of Dengzhou.
Now the position of governor of Denglai is temporarily vacant, so Yu Qi has become the undoubtedly highest official of Denglai.
His Majesty the Emperor granted him the total authority to wipe out Japanese pirates along the coast of Shandong and Northern Zhili, so he naturally had to do his best and not let down His Majesty the Emperor's trust.
In fact, in his opinion, the Japanese disasters in Shandong are much lighter than those in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.
After getting to know the local officials and the people, he further confirmed his ideas.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Japanese pirates plundered relatively wealthy places. If you grab this, you will get more oil and water.
From this perspective, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong are of course more prosperous.
The words in Shandong are a little worse, while those in Beizhili are even worse.
Moreover, the north is the place where the imperial court is located, especially Zhili, which is even under the feet of the emperor.
The Japanese pirates are more or less afraid and dare not act too recklessly.
Of course, the lack of Japanese pirates does not mean that there is no one.
When Yu Qi first heard that he was responsible for these two defense zones, he was still a little disappointed.
But after disappointment, he realized that his duty was to execute the emperor's orders.
So no matter what the order the emperor gave him was, he should complete it without fail, instead of chatting and complaining.
So he immediately learned about the situation from the local officials and determined the area where the Japanese pirates were most rampant.
After confirming that it was Wendeng, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel very happy.
Wendeng, Wendeng Camp.
This is where Qi Jiguang made his fortune back then. Wen Deng knew the world!
