In order to solve the famine problem in the Nanzhili region, His Majesty even directly dismissed Su Chen, the former governor of Nanzhili.

He was just a third-rank governor. If he angered Xia Yun, the other party would probably kill him at will!

The news that the new governor of Zhejiang and Nanzhili had summoned a group of colleagues to Zhangjia Village quickly swept across the entire Ningdu City like a hurricane.

In Ningdu City, all officials above the sixth rank were dumbfounded.

You know, the distance from Ningdu City to Zhangjia Village is almost a hundred miles.

If you want to get there, it will take at least half a day!

However, under the dual orders of Xia Yun and Gu He, all officials above the sixth rank in Ningdu City had no choice but to obey.

at dusk.

It's not dark yet.

In the city of Ningdu, dozens of officials of the sixth rank and above, accompanied by a large number of soldiers and followers, marched out of the city in a mighty procession.

Among them were officials on horseback, who galloped straight towards Zhangjia Village.

The officials riding in the carriage were not in a hurry.

The city gate.

Gu He looked at the convoys of various sizes heading to Zhangjia Village, and the gloomy look on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue official robe came to Gu He.

"Master Gu, what happened? Why did the new governor ask us to go to Zhangjia Village?"

The person who spoke was not someone else, but the fourth-rank governor of Ningdu City, Lee Myung-bak.

"I don't know."

Gu He shook his head, feeling a little worried.

As the saying goes, a new official starts with three moves.

He was worried that Xia Yun's three axes would first target his colleagues in Ningdu City.

Hearing this, Lee Myung-bak just smiled and shook his head, then deliberately moved closer to Gu He.

"Master Gu, do you know that Master Su has not left Ningdu City yet?"

At this time, Lee Myung-bak's face showed a hint of mystery.

Gu He was stunned for a moment.

"Hasn't His Majesty already issued an order for Lord Su to return to the capital to report on his duties?"

Obviously, Furukawa had no idea what Lee Myung-bak said.

"Oh, don't you know Lord Su's temper?"

"Although His Majesty nominally asked Lord Su to return to the capital to report on his work, he actually dismissed him from his post. I'm afraid Lord Su will be unable to calm down for a while."

After he finished speaking, Lee Myung-bak immediately kept some distance from Gu He.

"Hey."

Gu He then shook his head helplessly.

He knew that this would make things in Ningdu City more complicated.

"Okay, Master Gu, I'll go ahead. I'm also very curious about the rumored Master Xia."

Lee Myung-bak laughed, and then led a team of guards behind him, spurring his horses and galloping towards Zhangjia Village!

Only Gu He was left standing there, with a gloomy look on his face that lasted for a long time.

……

"Sir, I just received another letter from General Qin. The situation on the Zhejiang anti-Japanese battlefield has stabilized."

"Although the imperial army led by Xiao Zongnan lost more than 100,000 soldiers, fortunately the Japanese pirates did not launch another attack in a short period of time, and the enemy and us fell into a stalemate again."

"In addition, according to the latest news sent to Zhejiang by the imperial court, the imperial court has selected Zhili Governor Zhao Gongming as the commander-in-chief to lead an army of 200,000 to reinforce the battlefield in Zhejiang."

In Zhangjia Village, in the ancestral hall hall, Xu Wan'er was reporting to Xia Yun on the latest battle situation from Zhejiang.

When Xia Yun heard that the Japanese pirates and the imperial army had returned to a stalemate, there was not much surprise in his eyes.

Even though more than 80,000 soldiers were killed due to Xiao Zongnan's reckless command, Xiao Zongnan still had more than 400,000 troops left.

Coupled with the 100,000 troops under the command of Zhejiang Governor Lei Zhenning, it would be difficult for the Japanese pirates to make new progress for a while.

However, the news that the court chose Zhao Gongming as the commander-in-chief to lead an army of 200,000 to reinforce Zhejiang was beyond Xia Yun's expectations.

Zhao Gongming was his ally. Based on the information he had previously obtained and Zhao Gongming's own judgment, it should be difficult for Zhao Gongming to leave the Zhili area.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming was actually allowed to lead his troops to Zhejiang this time!

"Pass on my order. After Zhao Gongming and his 200,000 troops arrive in Zhejiang, all money and food expenses will be given priority. No excuses will be made."

Xia Yun gave the order.

As an ally of Zhao Gongming, he naturally had to give the other party strong support at this time.

"Okay, my lord."

Xu Wan'er nodded, and immediately began to write Xia Yun's orders on the table beside her.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening.

The summer night breeze is still scorching hot.

Hundreds of women and children who rushed from several nearby villages had been properly resettled in Zhangjia Village under Xia Yun's order.

Firstly, Xia Yun currently doesn’t know where the men who were captured by Chengtang County have gone.

If these women and children were sent back to their respective villages, they would probably not be able to survive even if they were given disaster relief food.

Secondly, the county magistrate of Chengtang County must have known everything that happened in Zhangjia Village.

There is a high probability that the other party is on the way to Zhangjia Village.

In order to prevent these innocent people from being affected, it is better to keep them in Zhangjia Village for the time being.

It was at this time that Zhao Xinlei hurried into the ancestral hall.

"Sir, the outposts reported that a large number of soldiers appeared on the route from Chengtang County to Zhangjia Village, with a number of about five to six hundred people."

Zhao Xinlei quickly reported the latest situation to Xia Yun.

Hearing this, Xia Yun's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent.

These guys...are here after all!

"Pass on my order. All the people in Zhangjia Village, gather behind the village immediately. No one is allowed to go out without my order."

Xia Yun immediately issued the first order.

Immediately afterwards, the second order came from Xia Yun's mouth.

"Worship the Black Fox."

"The general is here!"

Xia Yun and Chong Heihu asked and answered each other.

"Immediately withdraw the patrol troops outside Zhangjia Village, and hide all the troops inside the village."

"Just wait for those five or six hundred men to enter Zhangjia Village, and capture them all!"

Xia Yun's eyes became particularly gloomy at this moment.

Needless to say, the five or six hundred troops who rushed over were definitely not to welcome him, the newly appointed Governor of Zhejiang and Nanzhili.

In fact, there is a great possibility that the other party is here to silence us!

"I will obey your orders!"

After receiving the order, Chong Heihu immediately turned around and left the ancestral hall to arrange all related matters.

Zhao Xinlei and Chen Bao were guarding in the ancestral hall hall to prevent any unexpected situations from happening!

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half hour has passed.

Outside the peaceful Zhangjia Village, the five or six hundred aggressive soldiers finally arrived.

"Is this the place you're talking about?"

Among the five or six hundred people, the leading magistrate of Chengtang County, Zhang Quanzhong, looked at the extremely quiet Zhangjia Village with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Sir, this is it!"

“This place was full of people a few hours ago!”

The official who led the way also had some doubts in his eyes, but his words were quite confident!
