Zhao Ji Tea House, B-word Accord.

Because Gao Pragmatic came earlier, he didn't have a meal yet, so Liu Xian, Liu Wei and his son came here to drink tea with Gao Pragmatic first.

In fact, to be honest, drinking tea and talking about things is more in line with Gao Pragmatic's preferences than talking about things at the dinner table, after all, although he can not drink because he is young, but Liu Xian's father and son are military generals, it is basically impossible not to drink at the table, and after drinking, Gao Pragmatic is afraid that some things may not be able to make them feel good even if they explain it.

Gao pragmatically said with a smile: "General Liu's affairs are basically done, and the imperial court has instructed the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the matter of Xu Peng's false accusations before, and I believe that it will not be long before it will be revealed and General Liu will be innocent." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Gao." Liu Xian raised the teacup: "Liu has nothing to repay, and he thanked Gao Gongzi for his kindness with tea instead of wine." Liu Wei also raised his glass.

Gao Shishi was not modest, he picked up the teacup and gestured to the two of them, took a sip, and said: "In addition, it is a waste of time to wait for Nanjing to complete the process, so after discussing with Zhang Gelao, my third uncle has asked the new governor of Huguang, Gu Daizong, to make a recommendation and recommend General Liu to move to Guizhou." ”

"Gu Dai Sect? But the governor of Zhejiang, Gu Zhongxu, Gu Zisheng? Liu Xian was stunned for a moment and asked.

Gao pragmatically nodded.

Liu Xian immediately laughed: "It turned out to be Gu Zisheng, I dealt with him in Zhejiang at the beginning, and his ability to manage grain, grass and military equipment is not bad." ”

The corners of Gao Shishi's mouth twitched, and he thought secretly: Gu Zhongxu's ability in this area should have more than one "not bad" evaluation, right? He and Qi Jiguang had a good partnership back then.

When it comes to the tacit understanding with Qi Jiguang's partner, readers can probably guess: Gu Zhongxu has a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, especially Tan Lun, the two of them are the same year as Jiajing's 23rd year of Jiajing's Jiachenke Gold List, but Tan Lun is the second grade, and Gu Zhongxu's luck is almost good, and he only won the top three.

However, readers should not underestimate this top three jinshi - because he was only nineteen years old when he got the top three jinshi! It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty's love for prodigies is indeed not for fun.

Gu Zhongxu, the sound of the word, alias Daizong, is a native of the south gate of Haifeng County. Gu Zhongxu was gifted and diligent at an early age, and was able to write articles at the age of seven; At the age of twelve, he took the county examination and won the case; At the age of eighteen, he was raised and the nineteen-year-old was a jinshi, which can be described as a young man's ambition and early success. It is said that because of the poverty of his family, Gu Zhongxu cherished the opportunity to read to change his fate when he was young, and he worked very hard, and often read until midnight, when he was really sleepy, he meditated cross-legged and rested for a while.

At that time, there was a rich man named Yang Tianpet in the county, who admired Gu Zhongxu's talent and was very optimistic about his future, so Yang Tianpet married his beloved daughter to Gu Zhongxu as his wife, and specially invited Gu Zhongxu to study in his own school. In every talent examination and scientific examination, Gu Zhongxu is among the best.

As for his relationship with Qi Jiguang later, of course, it must be related to Pingwei.

In the 34th year of Jiajing, the Japanese invaded the southeast coastal area repeatedly, burning, killing and looting, and did all kinds of evil. The imperial court issued an edict to transfer Qi Jiguang, who was then the commander of the Shandong capital, to serve as the secretary of the Zhejiang capital, and was promoted to general the following year, guarding the three counties of Ning (Bo), Shao (Xing), and Taiwan (Zhou), and preparing for Zhejiang. At this time, Gu Zhongxu had been appointed as the envoy of Zhejiang, and the two Shandong villagers had the opportunity to work together.

Unlike some civilian officials, he believed that civilian officials should be responsible for food and military equipment, and military affairs should be dominated by military ministers, and should not interfere unless absolutely necessary.

Due to the convenience of official business, Gu Zhongxu visited Qi Jiguang's military camp many times, and discussed with Qi Jiguang on some military deployments and eradication strategies. At that time, Gu Zhongxu was more familiar with the customs and customs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and when Qi Jiguang was troubled by the lack of troops, Gu Zhongxu incisively pointed out that the people in Yiwu and other places were fierce, or they could form a strong army.

In the 38th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang, with the full support of Gu Zhongxu, recruited nearly 4,000 people from Jinhua, Yiwu and other places in Zhejiang, and organized a new type of army by adopting the four-level method of battalion, officer, sentry, and team. The team is the basic combat unit, the team members are equipped with different weapons according to their age and physical fitness, and when fighting, the whole team members use their strengths to cooperate with the operation, both offensive and defensive, and the advance and retreat are flexible. After Qi Jiguang's strict training, this new army team soon became a military powerhouse, known as the "Qi Family Army".

So in this way, Gu Zhongxu can almost be regarded as one of the builders of this army, and Qi Jiguang is also quite grateful for Gu Zhongxu's support at the beginning.

Of course, there is a very important figure here, that is, Tan Lun. At that time, Tan Lun's status had always been slightly higher than Gu Zhongxu, so Gu Zhongxu had always been regarded as Tan Lun's faction, but in fact they could only be regarded as allies.

In the first year of Longqing, Gu Zhongxu was appointed governor of Zhejiang. Zhenhai, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, the pond control chokes the sea gate, the barrier east Zhejiang, and the geographical location is even more dangerous. Gu Zhongxu called it "the guarantee of the east of Zhejiang, and the Xiling Tiger Prison of Gaiyu is also ......", and later generations also praised it as "the unparalleled land of Pinghan in the southeast, the first pass of the sea frontier of thousands of miles". Therefore, the valley was garrisoned here and built a strong fortress to resist the Japanese invaders.

In order to prevent the Japanese from invading Zhenhai, Gu Zhongxu found out the law of the Japanese pirates in advance, strictly trained the soldiers, straightened out the defense, and personally rushed to the sea frontier to reorganize weapons and equipment, create foreign sailors, and send additional warships to patrol the sea area, so that the Japanese could take advantage of no gaps and the coastal people could live in peace.

Gu Zhongxu has been in Zhejiang for a long time, and as the governor of Zhejiang, he has completed the three-year examination, and this time he happened to be transferred to Huguang, so Gao Shishi quietly gave Gao Gong an idea before, and asked Zhang Juzheng to come forward and ask Tan Lun to tell Gu Zhongxu on his behalf, hoping that Gu Zhongxu would recommend Liu Xian to go to Guizhou - well, this relationship seems a bit chaotic, but the system and factional relationship of the Ming Dynasty are so complicated. It is completely unnecessary to let Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng directly recommend Liu Xian - it is just a general soldier, and it is a general soldier in the mainland, it is really not the turn of these two bigwigs to jump out in person, Tan Lun, as the governor of Jiliao, has no name for recommending a general soldier in the mainland, so he is looking for Gu Zhongxu in a roundabout way.

But Liu Ling asked a question with some incomprehension at this time: "Master Gao, you just said that this Guzhong Cheng has just been transferred from the governor of Zhejiang to the governor of Huguang...... Since he is the governor of Huguang, how can he cross the border to recommend the general army of Guizhou, and he is not afraid of overstepping his authority? ”

Gao Xian hadn't answered yet, Liu Xian had already glared at him: "I told you not to only know martial arts training, but you just refuse to listen, and now you are making a fool of yourself for your father!" Fortunately, Gao Gongzi is not an outsider, otherwise you see if Lao Tzu will beat you! ”
