The days passed, and the seven-day deadline was approaching.
For Du Antong, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, if nothing can be done within these seven days, he will face the punishment of Su Xiang.
The punishment can be completely according to the wishes of the left prime minister. After all, Du Antong had promised it in front of the prime minister Su at that time.
If there is really nothing that can be done by then, perhaps he will face confiscation of his home, exile, or beheading, etc.
Today, it is already March.
In the past few days, the rain in the capital has stopped, as if it was taking turns to be on duty.
The capital city is now shrouded in humid air.
Boatmen can still be seen on several rivers outside the city.
Wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, they held the long bamboo poles tightly in their hands and pushed the boat toward its destination.
In the capital, among the people coming and going, there were people holding oil-paper umbrellas and walking on the wet stone road towards their destinations, there were also people who were walking quickly through the streets in the rain, and even the coachman was wearing a raincoat. Wearing a bamboo hat and sitting at the front of the carriage, pulling goods towards the destination...
At this time, I saw a young man of good stature and relatively tall holding an oil-paper umbrella, walking hurriedly on the wet floor towards his destination.
Following his footsteps, I saw him hurriedly walked to Du Mansion.
"Please inform me that I want to see Governor Du to discuss important matters."
"Okay, please wait a moment. I will go and report it now."
After responding, the servant guarded by the Du Mansion hurried to the study of Du Mantong, the master of the Du Mansion.
At this time, Du Antong was staying alone in his study. On one hand, he was deeply blaming himself for the annihilation of the main army of the Mo Dynasty. At the same time, he was worrying about finding a way to save Mo Dynasty, protect the capital, and suppress the rebels. With.
"Master." The guard called.
Hearing the servant's call, perhaps because he was still immersed in searching for a solution, Du Antong did not respond to the servant.
The guard had no choice but to continue shouting:
"master."
Then, this time, Master Du's words were still not heard.
If the two doors of the study were not closed, the guard would have wanted to rush in and speak directly.
However, after looking at the closed door several times, no sound came from the guard, so the guard had no choice but to continue shouting:
"master."
In fact, Mr. Du could hear all these sounds. When he heard the first sound, Du Antong was immersed in his thoughts and didn't want to respond. This second sound, he didn't want to respond at all and just wanted to let him go without saying anything. Of course, not responding to the third call is not enough.
"What's the matter?! No
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Did you see me thinking of a solution? ! Day by day, can you guys stop for a while? ! "Du Antong's face showed a bit of anger at this moment.
The servants of the Du family have long been used to facing such a bad attitude.
"Master, there are officials outside looking for you."
Hearing these words, the anger on Du Antong's face had just faded away a bit.
"Official?"
"But which official?"
How would the servants of the Du family know about it? Unless they often visit the Du Mansion, they will naturally get to know a few of them over time, but they really don't know the officials outside.
The guard shook his head, but Du Antong could not see this. After all, the guard was outside the door, and Master Du Antong was inside. The door was not open, and the window sill could not be seen. How could he know what the guard standing outside looked like.
Shake your head, this is a habit.
Guard said: "I don't know. I said I have something important to discuss with you."
"Let him come in." Du Antong began to look forward to it. After all, it would be good to discuss military matters together.
"Yes." In response, the guard hurried towards the gate of Du Mansion.
"My master invites you."
"Follow the younger one."
Seeing that Mr. Du Fu agreed, the official had a smile on his face.
"good."
Following the steps of the Du family guard, this official walked up to Du Antong, the master of the Du family.
"master."
"People are coming."
Hearing this, Du Antong just raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. It was Cen Anze, Minister of War.
Seeing this, Du Antong had a smile on his face.
"Okay, you go down." Du Antong looked at the guard on the side.
"Yes." The guard responded and walked towards the gate of Du Mansion and continued to guard.
Seeing the guard leave, Du Antong looked at Cen Anze, the Minister of War, with a smile on his face: "I said which official is looking for me, I'm sorry it's you."
"It's true that this person doesn't even know you, the Minister of War."
"Sorry for the poor reception."
Cen Anze, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Juniors rarely come to visit, so it's understandable that they can't recognize me today."
"Okay. Cen Shangshu, sit down."
"Eh."
After sitting down, Mr. Du greeted outside: "Come here! Here's a cup of warm tea!"
After shouting, Du Antong just sat back on his chair: "Cen Shangshu is here. What do you want to discuss with me?"
Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War came back in a hurry: "Junior, I am here to meet Du Du.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The governor discussed together how to find a force to suppress the rebel army. "
"oh?"
"Then what good idea have you come up with?"
Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War smiled slightly: "The younger generation does have it, but it cannot be said to be a good method or a bad method."
"how do I say this?"
Cen Shangshu: "In recent days, I know that you are troubled by this matter. But the main force of Da Mo has been destroyed. At present, if you want to suppress the rebel army, there is only one team available, which is the one created since the sea ban was lifted. A militia."
Upon hearing this, Du Antong frowned: "But this militia team was originally established to get rid of Japanese pirates. If it is used, what will happen to the Japanese pirates?"
Listening to what Du Antong said, it does make some sense.
After a while, Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War wrote: "Cen Shangshu, this has been used, and the sea ban will be implemented for a period of time. When the main force of the Mo Dynasty is restored, the sea ban will be lifted."
"Is this... okay?"
Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War nodded: "Right now, there is no other way but this. The rebel army defeated the main force of the Mo Dynasty. I believe that in a few days, they will definitely come to the capital. If not If you make a decision early, it may be too late."
Listening to this and thinking about it, it makes sense: "Now this is really the only way, so I will do what you want first."
"good."
"In this case, this junior will go back first."
Du Antong nodded slightly: "Okay."
Then, he shouted outside: "Butler! See off the guests!"
After the housekeeper sent Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War back, Du Antong quickly caught up with the carriage and headed towards the Su Mansion.
"Sir, Governor Du came here and said he has a solution."
After listening to Lu Huan's words, Su Xiang raised his head with a sad look on his face: "Bring him here."
"yes."
…
"I will pay my respects to Prime Minister Su."
"No need, tell me quickly, but what can I do?" Su Xiang couldn't wait to hear it.
"Back to Prime Minister Su, if we want to suppress the rebels, there is still another force available, which is the militia team previously established to fight against the Japanese."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiang's face darkened: "This militia team was originally established only to fight Japanese pirates, and its combat capabilities are far inferior to the previous main force."
"Xiang Su, this is the only way at the moment. There are tens of thousands of people in the militia. According to the information I received, the rebel army has no more than 10,000 people. It should be able to suppress it."
After hearing this, Prime Minister Su sighed: "Then use it. Once it's over, it's over."
"Okay. I'll go back and get ready first."
