Chapter 132: Passionate
It's already early September, and although the weather is suitable during the day, it can be a little chilly at night.
In addition, there are no mountains in Wujiang County, and there are many lakes of different sizes, and the night wind brings moisture to the window paper.
Qian Yuan couldn't help but let people add another layer of bedding, and then he comfortably went in and fell asleep, he was tired from running around on the road in the past few days, and he was really tired.
This garden is owned by a large family in Wujiang County, two days ago, Qian Yuan and Wu Baipeng moved in, except for that, only Mrs. Wa Lao entered with a dozen female soldiers.
The rest of the place was already dark, only the side room of the east courtyard was still lit, Wu Baipeng and Mrs. Wa were discussing the matter of leaving tomorrow, and the messenger had already sent a reply from the governor's yamen today.
Like Wu Baipeng and Qian Yuan thought, Zhang Jing allowed Tianzhou's wolf soldiers to transfer to Songjiang Mansion and came under Yu Dayou.
But at the same time, the governor Yamen also sent bad news, considering the inconvenience of transportation, the supply of Tianzhou wolf soldiers was in charge of Songjiang Prefecture.
Through the gap in the window, Wu Baipeng faintly saw the movement of people in the corner of the garden, he knew that this was Qian Yuan's nursing home, it is said that these people have experienced the two battles of Jiading and Chongde with him, and they can be called elite.
Wu Baipeng's heart moved, and he smiled and said: "Old lady, the situation may not be so bad, in fact, the ...... in the West Courtyard A path has been pointed out. ”
"Then that Qian Yuan?" Old Lady Wa frowned and asked, "What way?" ”
"The day before yesterday, he said that he could introduce the old lady to Shuangjiang Gong." Wu Baipeng explained in detail: "Shuangjiang Gong went south to supervise the battle and chose Songjiang...... He once served as the magistrate of Huating County, and he was highly regarded in Songjiang Prefecture, which was the most serious place in the war......"
Old Madam Wa's brows were still furrowed, "Qian Yuan......"
Obviously, she was skeptical about how much weight the referrer could have.
In the past two days, the wolf soldiers have caused a lot of chaos in Wujiang County, Wu Baipeng and Mrs. Wa have spent a lot of energy, and they haven't talked about the young man in the West Courtyard.
"The first time I heard this name was outside the Dabao'en Temple in Nanjing, and the Hangzhou merchants said that Songjiang Xiucai had been practicing with the monks in the Dabao'en Temple since he was a child, so that he could make clever plans in Hangzhou, cast spells to suppress demons, and avenge his father and brother." Wu Baipeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"And what's going on?" Old Madam Wa couldn't help laughing, "Did he really lose his hair and practice at a young age?" ”
"How is that possible!" Wu Baipeng shook his head and said: "His great-grandfather Hetan Gong is the champion of Hongzhi for three years, he has studied hard since he was a child, and he is a well-known young talent in Songjiang Mansion. ”
"The two great victories of Jiading and Chongde were reported by Lu Bin and Yu Dayou, but everyone in Jiangnan knows who the biggest hero is......"
"Of course, the DPRK and China will never be unaware." Wu Baipeng paused before he said slowly: "The messenger on the return trip...... A few days ago, Lord Zhao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and Hu Ruzhen, the prefect of Hangzhou, came to visit him. ”
Old Lady Wa's pupils shrank, "Zhao Wenhua...... He seems to be a strict ......"
After a moment of silence, Wu Baipeng smiled slightly bitterly. "Of course, this has nothing to do with the old woman, the Huating Qian clan is a big family in Songjiang, Qian Zhancai and General Yu have intersected, and now they are under the Shuangjiang public account, with him as a guarantee, the Tianzhou wolf soldiers are safe in Songjiang Mansion."
"That's good." Old Madam Wa sighed, "Fortunately, I met Qian Xiucai on Zhongnan Road......"
"Hahaha, I'm afraid Zhong Nan caught Qian Zhancai." Wu Baipeng laughed, "This guy is too thoughtful, and he is flexible, this pole ...... Snatch all the strongest Tianzhou wolf soldiers to Songjiang Mansion! ”
"But now that the war is imminent, he moved his family to Hangzhou and returned to Songjiang, and made great efforts to strengthen Songjiang's troops."
Wu Baipeng gave Qian Yuan an evaluation that no one else had ever given, but it was in line with his current state of mind, "This son has a lot of blood!" ”
……
On the second day, the wharf was crowded with people, and everywhere there were wolf soldiers wearing blue and black cloth clothes with dark faces, and the locals all covered their mouths and noses, and retreated.
As for the gentry, none of them appeared, and only two people in the crowd were wearing Confucian shirts, smiling bitterly at this.
It was difficult for Qian Yuan to understand this scene, one side was in trouble and all sides were supporting...... That is, Mrs. Wa has a good temper, so he can overturn this place!
Wu Baipeng sighed and whispered that for more than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the war in the southwest has basically not stopped, and those barbarian Tusi rebelled from time to time, and the infringement on the Ming Dynasty was actually no less than that of the Mongols, and even more headache.
The Mongols are clearly chariots and horses to kill people and rob things, but the southwest is ...... Today, Huishun rebelled, and often fought across several provinces, and it was common to siege cities and fall into land, because the rough roads often led to the war prolonging for years.
All in all, these wolf soldiers have a bad reputation, this is not the first time they have been transferred, but it is the first time they have come to Jiangnan.
In the eyes of the locals, especially the gentry, most of these people who could not even speak Chinese might turn around and grab a handful at any time.
If many Jinshi from the south of the Yangtze River are assigned to the southwest, they often prefer to return to their hometowns and wander in the spring rather than go to work......
"You don't know when it's going to rain, but you lead the people first." Qian Yuan carefully explained to Yang Wen, "On the one hand, I went to find Master Zhou to arrange a residence, and on the other hand, I sent someone to cook ginger soup. ”
Wu Baipeng, who was close at hand, looked at this young man carefully admonishing his subordinates, and he considered everything, and he had a unique feeling in his heart.
A few months ago, he led the army in Yangzhou to defeat the Japanese and beheaded 300, and he was once proud, but soon he learned that Chongde had beheaded nearly 1,000 people, and after he went to Zhejiang to patrol the press, he had privately sent people to Chongde County to investigate.
Among the many news reported by the subordinates, what made Wu Baipeng feel the most was a hemp rope, the hemp rope that once tied the heads of the eight widows together and chose them at the city gate.
Sorting out internal affairs without any chaos shows its ability to govern, acting decisively at critical moments, and making decisions in killing, which is the most needed person in the southeast to resist the Japanese.
Laughing and watching the soldiers get on the boat, Wu Baipeng saluted, "Just ask for Zhan Cai." ”
"Don't dare to be it, the younger generation just introduced the old lady to Shuangjiang Gong, and he can't interfere in the rest of the matter." Qian Yuan replied: "This farewell, I also wish Yaoshan Gongqi a victory." ”
After a few months of truce, a large number of Japanese invasions were already emerging, and a major war was just around the corner.
"In the future, let's call Brother Weixi." Wu Baipeng patted Qian Yuan's shoulder, "When we meet in the future, I want to ask for another bowl of braised pork." ”
Qian Yuan saluted again and said with a smile: "But Brother Xi doesn't know, the younger brother is also good at winemaking, and it will be fun to wait until the day of peace, when you and I meet again, raise a glass and drink bitterly." ”
"Well said, I'll wait for that day."
"Say goodbye, cherish."
