Yu Zichu has never fought such a happy battle!
Although he was also victorious in the northwest, Zhou Shangwen led them to a really brutal battle. Basically, both sides hacked each other, and the enemy didn't chop them, so they won.
But this time fighting with Wang Shouren was different.
This educated Jinshi should be writing articles in his study, but when he arrived on the battlefield, he was extremely violent. Every time he attacked, he expected the enemy to be ahead and hit the enemy within seven inches.
He said that during the Fobao Mountain bandit suppression, there were obviously more than 2,000 bandits in the mountain. He first confused the enemy and made the bandits think that it was impossible for the army to suppress the bandits. Then he quickly ordered his troops. In the early morning, when the people were at their peak, When I was unconscious, I suddenly attacked the mountain.
When the officers and soldiers reached the mountain all the way, their genius shined brightly.
Bandits, the higher your status, the later you wake up and sleep as late as you want. Moreover, in a sudden attack, it would be easy for non-regular troops to cause chaos.
During the process, Yu Zichu also led people to kill a lot, but the battle was not fierce. Compared with the one he fought in the northwest, it was nothing.
While fighting, they shouted to surrender and not to kill.
Wang Shouren did treat the bandits fairly well in the past few times.
So after a combination of various factors, three times five times two times, the bandit suppression in Fobao Mountain came to an end.
The so-called top boss and second boss were all tied up.
Wang Yangming came out of the tent and said, "General Yu, all the officers and men have worked hard!"
"Fighting with Mr. Wang is such a pleasure! We kicked these people out of bed before they even woke up!"
"Hahaha!"
Yu Zichu was also very excited and said nothing. From today on, Wang Shouren was his idol.
So he jumped off his horse and asked extremely politely: "Sir, what do you think we will do with these two bandit leaders?"
Wang Shouren thought for a while, "Close it first. General Yu, I think the soldiers still have some strength left. It's better to raid the surrounding areas in the past few days. Fobao Mountain has been captured, and the small group of bandits around will not be able to do anything." Think about it, and report to the court to ask for merit when the time comes!"
"good!"
Before Yu Zichu could say anything, some of his lieutenants started shouting. Anyway, the most difficult Fobao Mountain had been taken, so what else could the other shrimp soldiers and crab generals count?
So in the next few days, the officers and soldiers were like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, wiping out the bandits within a radius of two hundred miles in one fell swoop.
So this winter, Wang Shouren's name resounded throughout Quanzhou Prefecture with an unstoppable force. Even Fengxi, Zhang Li and others in Fuzhou were surprised.
Bandits are always difficult to suppress! But as soon as Wang Shouren took action, he won consecutive battles in two months! No wonder the emperor specially sent him to follow Wang Hao. He is a capable person!
After the battle at Fobao Mountain, Wang Shouren and Yu Zichu returned to Fuzhou.
By this time Wang Hao was already in Zhejiang.
So it was just a few of them who made the decision.
What Feng Xi meant was, "It will take Brother Bo'an two months to clear out all the bandits from Fuzhou to Quanzhou. According to my opinion, I will follow these bandits and check out a few more smugglers. I am not afraid that they will not be able to do so." Comply with the imperial court’s order to open sea.”
Zhang Li also nodded, "And the Fujian side has also heard about the Zhejiang incident. It's strange to say that there are a lot less Fuzhou City Literary and Poetry Associations these days. The children of each family are strictly disciplined. You are not allowed to go out at will. On the contrary, it makes Fuzhou a little depressed."
In fact, even if it is slightly depressed, it has not always relied on these few people in the past.
It's just that Fuzhou City is indeed not as lively as before, and this can still be seen.
"Ten years of hard work and a career in fame. No one wants to lose it easily." Fengxi sighed. He also felt a little sad about the incident in Zhejiang. "If this is the case, then I will report to the Lord of the Ministry. Uncle. Brother An can also take a rest here."
Wang Shouren frowned and said, "Uncle Fang, I have something to say, maybe we can defeat him in one fell swoop without losing any blood!"
Feng Xi and Zhang Li looked at each other.
These people have been working together in Fujian for several months. From the beginning they didn't understand why Wang Hao brought Wang Shouren, but now they immediately feel hopeful when they hear these words.
"Brother Bo'an, please speak."
Wang Shouren cupped his hand as a courtesy, "From this summer to today, His Majesty, the princes of the DPRK, and local dignitaries have talked about the opening of seas in Zhejiang and Fujian too many times. In the past few months, the capital has been shaken. , Zhejiang is in misery, I see below, this matter has reached this level, it should be over."
"As far as Zhejiang is concerned, it should be possible after this incident. But what about Fujian? In the past two months, the more bandits have been suppressed, the more the subordinates understand that they are actually ordinary people who cannot survive. We want Fujian to be more like Zhejiang It is unnecessary to kill people to establish prestige. Because of prestige, His Majesty has already established Zhejiang. And, from another perspective, Zhejiang has made His Majesty upset. If Fujian can make His Majesty not upset, this is also your credit."
That's true.
Seeing their expectant eyes, Wang Shouren no longer held back, "Uncle Fang should still remember the admission system that His Majesty mentioned earlier, right?"
"Remember. It was made to restrict people with small boats and few people from blindly going to sea."
"Fujian can make some changes and add a period of time. Besides, if you are a merchant in Fujian, after seeing what happened in Zhejiang and seeing the situation of suppressing bandits, you will definitely be worried that the government will come to your door one day."
Fengxi gradually understood, "But now the door of Quanzhou City Shipping Department is also open to them."
Wang Shouren said: "Uncle Fang will understand if you think about the hearts of those people. It is right to open it, but if you keep opening it, people will not be anxious. They are all waiting and watching. If you don't go, I won't go, and I won't go." Even if you go, he won't go either. But if the government imposes a time limit, it will actually become a life and death order."
"After this time limit, we will do what Zhejiang does!"
This method didn’t work well in the past.
Because there is no authority established by the emperor in Zhejiang, many people still don't know what the capital thinks. There is no Wang Shouren to suppress bandits in Fujian. Many people still doubt whether the government has that capability.
The conditions are now met.
Once the admission system expires, merchants who have not obtained the qualifications will face jail time at any time.
This is actually a bit like buying up houses when their prices increase.
Human psychology is like this.
No matter how much science and technology advances and productivity improves, in fact, as living creatures, humans have always only had this much ability.
Wang Shouren's method will definitely make all merchants in Fujian agitated.
Fengxi was greatly shocked after hearing this, "Brother Bo'an is really a genius! Your Majesty has done the previous things for us, so we can take advantage of this to take off!"
Of course, without the overwhelming force of suppressing bandits, it will not be able to shake people's hearts.
"Uncle Fang is overly praised. I am also considering the imperial court. Please finish this matter as soon as possible."
Zhejiang and Fujian have both reached this point, and they are just two or three steps away from opening up the sea. As long as it becomes a trend, it will be unstoppable.
On December 8, the 18th year of Hongzhi's reign, Fengxi and Zhang Li consulted Wang Hao and were approved to promulgate the admission system and add a statute of limitations.
The time limit is very short, within two months, no waiting will be done if it expires.
At the same time, Wang Shouren set off again with his army.
As long as news of victory continues to come, the words "court officers and soldiers" will continue to become oppressive, and no one will dare to act rashly.
"...That female gangster knows a few words, and she can write them decently."
Wang Shouren didn't know what skills he used, but the chief and second masters of the Fobao Mountain Bandits were also willing to obey his orders. The two of them actually have a father-daughter relationship. It is really surprising that a twenty-year-old girl is the second in charge of the village.
When Wang Shouren heard Yu Zichu's whisper, he also glanced at the girl who was writing a letter. The handwriting... couldn't be said to be special, but for a bandit, it was really good to be neat.
"These two families are both well-known local businessmen. How did the second master know each other?"
The girl sat with her legs spread apart. She didn't look like a lady at all. She was slightly tanned by the wind and sun all year round in the mountains, but her facial features were still delicate, and her neat white teeth were extremely conspicuous.
She said: "My husband is a scholar and doesn't know the difficulties of going out to do business. For these merchants in Fujian, if they don't have a better relationship with us people on the road, eight times out of ten the goods will be sold on the road." Robbery."
Yu Zichu couldn't bear to see a bandit so proud, "It's not like the original officials were incompetent! I would have asked Mr. Wang to come here and I would have wiped out you."
"I admit it." The female bandit looked at Wang Shouren and then said, "But wasn't there such a powerful gentleman in the past? At that time, money was much easier to use than suing officials."
Wang Shouren didn't say much. He took the letter and handed it to Yu Zichu, "Send someone to deliver this to the two families respectively. Remember to go later."
"Why?"
"They were kept awake all night and were so anxious that they went to the shipping department to pay the money the next day without even thinking about it. And digging for money at night is in line with their usual practice."
This letter is actually a threat;
The bandits have been caught. What can you do if you collude with the bandits?
"People say that scholars only care about the world and the people. You are not an upright gentleman. Why do you have so many concerns?"
Wang Shouren didn't mind contacting the bandits as a Jinshi. He replied: "I know what I'm doing. Girl, you'd better take good care of your father, and think about it in the future. It's best to live a good and stable life."
The female bandit's father was cut in the leg during the battle and can't move now. But this person... can now live and live with peace of mind, but he sleeps soundly all day long. What a big heart.
"Originally, our life was quite stable..." The female bandit glanced at him complaining, and then asked: "I don't have the money to pay for the admission quota. Can you tell the manager so that I can go to sea and do some work?" Business?"
"You want to go to sea?!"
"Didn't you say the emperor called you?"
Wang Shouren thought for a while and said, "You have merit. I can help you apply for accommodation."
"That's good." The female bandit clapped her hands and stood up, "If you don't let me be the king in the mountains, then I will be the king at sea! Will you still go to suppress me then?"
Wang Shouren looked serious, "If you do evil and endanger the people, I will naturally suppress you again!"
"Giggle, giggle." The female bandit burst into laughter, "Look at you, like an idiot, taking a joke so seriously. Don't worry, one day, as long as you come, I will surrender immediately."
"Why?"
"Why do you care about me!"
Wang Shouren hit a wall, tossed his sleeves and left. Women are really unreasonable. One sentence sounds nice, but the next sentence can suddenly hurt you.
But looking at his back, the girl laughed happily and shouted: "Remember, my name is Baili!"

Although she has nothing now, as soon as she is released, with one move from her old team, she will be completely different again.
