Chapter 169: Persuasion
At this point, since the 28th year of Jiajing, the largest war in the southeast against the Japanese came to an end.
The Ming army successively dispatched more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, with wolf soldiers as the vanguard, and achieved the biggest victory since the anti-Japanese war in Wangjiangjing, beheading nearly 2,000, and drowning is not a few.
However, the Japanese invaders burned and looted in Suzhou, Jiaxing, Tongzhou, and Changzhou, and the people were devastated, and dry bones were common on the roadside, and nearly half of the 20,000 Japanese invaders fled overseas, and some of them were still in Jiaxing Mansion and Huzhou Mansion, and the most important thing was that Xu Hai, the leader of the Japanese Bandits, escaped.
Of course, for the southeast war, the biggest impact was the departure of the first governor of Zhejiang, Zhang Jing, after the big victory, the commander was escorted to Beijing, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the southeastern armies.
However, there was joy in the food garden.
Half a month ago, the Japanese invaded Beixinguan, Qian Yuan resolutely went out of the city to meet the enemy, and designed to capture 400 Japanese invaders, but after the big victory, he unexpectedly went to Taozhai Town for the third time, and the Wang family and Qi Jimei, who brought back the news, were a little uneasy, not to mention the Tan family, the Lu family and the little sister.
Now that Qian Yuan has returned safely, the food garden is naturally rejoicing, and even the old man Lu Shusheng has come to offer condolences.
Linping Mountain's great victory over the Japanese invaders, without a single casualty and capture of 400 Japanese invaders, has already caused a sensation in the city, there are storytellers in the restaurants and teahouses, Qian Yuan swept away the stigma of lying about military exploits before, and faintly became a legend.
"More than a year ago, in the mouth of a storyteller in Hangzhou, you have been a monk in Dabao'en Temple since you were a child, and you have superb Buddhism and great magical powers." Wu Baipeng glanced at Qian Yuan amusedly, "Nowadays, people say that you are a crroton cultivator...... Hahahaha! ”
"What a son of a bastard wrote a script!"
Qian Yuan was also speechless, didn't he make people claim that Hu Zongxian used the medicine?
How can you still take the blame yourself in the end!
"Anyway, it's not a bad thing, the streets and alleys say that it's thanks to that laxative......" Wu Baipeng glanced at the thick stack of papers on the desk, and looked at it, "Hiraizumi's question?" ”
"Well, I gave three hundred questions before, and I handed them in yesterday...... Three. Qian Yuan was a little depressed, where did he have the heart to do eight shares in the past few months, Lu Shusheng, the old man, criticized himself fiercely in front of his mother and uncle yesterday, and then left another hundred questions.
"Oops, there are a lot of interception questions, and there are ruthless ties." Wu Baipeng shook his head, "Most of the township exams are the main questions now, and there are very few interception questions." ”
"Then Hiraizumi Gong is fixing me."
Wu Baipeng has had a chance to get ahead since he was a child, and he is a little envious, "Pingquan Gong has a high reputation in the Hanlin Academy, and you will have your benefits when you enter the Hanlin Academy in the future." ”
Qian Yuan squinted, "It's said that I, Qian Zhancai, don't like what I say, who knows that Brother Wei Xi is also sharp-tongued!" ”
Qian Yuan's eight shares can only be said to be decent, and when he encounters a harsh examiner, he may not even be able to pass the township examination, how can he be qualified to enter the Hanlin Academy.
"Hey, isn't this the black of the inkman."
"Phew, it's clear that this is close to Zhu Zhechi." Qian Yuan rolled his eyes, leaned back on the Taishi chair, and picked up the purple clay pot, "How did you think about that?" ”
The smile on Wu Baipeng's face gradually faded, he sighed and sat down to take a sip of tea, "I, Wu Baipeng, have received the emperor's favor, and I am appointed by His Majesty to patrol Zhejiang, how dare I not report it?" ”
The so-called imperial grace means that Wu Baipeng's original name was Wu Bopeng, and Emperor Jiajing personally changed his name on a whim after Zhongjin Shi, and went to people from Baipeng, so he changed his name to Baipeng.
"Then it depends on what Brother Wei Xi wants to do." Qian Yuan said lightly: "I want to make a name for myself and resolutely go to the book, but in the end I can't change anything, and I will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Yan Party, maybe I will be dismissed from office, and I can only beat my chest and ...... when I see that the land of my hometown has become the food of the mouths of the widows."
"Or endure the pain of the moment, bend your will to meet the situation, organize and train the new army, use the southeast of the town, and relieve the people from hanging upside down, so as to make another day."
Qian Yuan took a sip of tea, got up and paced a few steps, "Stainless steel is not a hook, although it can leave a clear name in the world, and even in the annals of history, but what is the benefit to the southeast war situation, and even the chaotic government?" ”
"Endure the anger of the moment, although it may be ridiculed by Shilin and damage to your reputation, but it can solve the worries of a hundred days......"
Wu Baipeng looked at Qian Yuan, who was talking eloquently, with complicated eyes, and couldn't hold back after enduring, and asked in a low voice: "Zhancai, ...... you and Zhao Wenhua?"
"You don't think that my Qian Zhancai defected to the Yan Party, right?" Qian Yuan smiled, "Besides, Xiao Xiaoxiu is in the eyes of Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao?" ”
"The weight of your money...... At least in the southeast the component is not low. Wu Baipeng shook his head, "But this time Zhao Wenhua seized power in Taozhai Town, and you are among them...... What's more, you and Hu Zongxian fought against the Japanese in Linping Mountain. ”
"I know that you will not be attached to the Yan Party, but there are many people who say it...... You Qian Zhancai is happy to welcome you left and right. ”
"Where's the right and left?" Qian Yuan laughed and shook his head, "Xu Fan is my enemy, and the Qian and Xu families had a grudge in the previous generation; The Yan Party is regarded by the Southeast Shilin as a traitor party that has caused disaster to the world, do you want my little show to insist on refusing Zhao Wenhua outside the door, so as to conform to their wishes? ”
"A bunch of idiots!"
"It's not as good as another talent Xu Wenchang, although that guy is annoying, but at least he has the courage to go into battle to kill the widows, and he can also give advice......"
Qian Yuan did not intend to tell Wu Baipeng about the complicated situation in the DPRK and China, a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing could turn the clouds and rain in the field, pacify the people, and lead the troops into battle, but he was just a small loach in Beijing, and if he was not careful, he would be swallowed by a crocodile with a belt bone.
"Even if you write to the court to explain the truth about Xu Hai's escape, Zhao Wenhua has a high chance that he will not be recalled to Kyoto for questioning."
"The reason is very simple, the governor of Zhejiang is now vacant, the governor of Zhejiang, Zhou Fu, has just arrived, and the Duke of Shuangjiang has returned to Beijing, only Zhao Wenhua, who went south to supervise the war...... The imperial court needs Zhao Wenhua, and the strict party needs Zhao Wenhua even more. ”
"The Governor Yamen has ordered the implementation of the conscription system, and the prefectures of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and even Huguang and Fujian will all transfer salaries and manpower, and the fight against the Japanese will be the top priority of the imperial court for a long time, how can Yan Ge Lao be uneasy about interfering with people?"
Qian Yuanzai carefully analyzed: "Brother Weixi, Duke Banzhou and Duke Shuangjiang have returned to Beijing one after another, and the next battle situation in the southeast will ...... Zhao Wenhua will have a high degree of autonomy, and it is impossible for you to bypass him if you want to make a difference. ”
After a long silence, Wu Baipeng reluctantly nodded.
"Don't worry, all the joints are opened by the younger brother, but Brother Xi only needs to be an impartial and only willing to appease the armies and encircle and suppress the Japanese Patrol in Zhejiang."
"Then please."
Wu Baipeng couldn't help but guess in his heart, what is the relationship between Qian Yuan and Zhao Wenhua, and he dares to pat his chest to play this kind of package ticket, you must know that Zhejiang Patrol Press can be regarded as a giant in the southeast war.
