Chapter 53: The Good Ministers of the World

Tonglu County, Jiaxing Prefecture.

Lu Bo, who has been in a bad mood recently, is smiling, which is rare for him who has always been self-disciplined.

"On July 27, the Japanese invaded the city for five days in a row, and the people under the city were tortured and killed, the public in the city was turbulent, when the night was ugly, the Japanese stole the city, and the Ming army went out of the city from the east city gate to bypass, and the Japanese lineup was chiseled through the side ......"

The goatee staff smiled and complimented: "Beheaded more than 130 people, captured more than 70 prisoners, and personally killed Xiao Xian, the leader of the Japanese bandits, this is a big victory!" ”

Lu Bo, who has a beard, has a psychology that is better than blue, you must know that even he and Yu Dayou have no such brilliant record this year except for the battle in Ligang.

For example, Yu Dayou, who is still working in Chuansha and Wakou, has reported to the governor's yamen so far...... Seven prisoners and twenty-three enemies!

Goatee looked down at the battle report, "Huh? That Songjiang Xiucai is also in Jiading...... It's the one who ...... with the governor's yamen."

"I know, Bin'er mentioned it in the letter." Lu Bo sighed twice, and his son praised the Qian family in the letter as unparalleled in heaven and on earth, but if it is the truth, he owes the Qian family a lot of favors.

"But this battle ......" Goatee is Lu Bo's personal staff, and those personal soldiers are also old acquaintances, and he can't help but feel sad: "There are a lot of battle losses, and the state guard can't pick out how much to use." ”

Yes, it was a big win, but it was also a pyrrhic one.

Not to mention the rest, after five days of defending the city and going out of the city twice to meet the enemy, the seventy-eight personal soldiers who came with Lu Bin were killed in the battle, fifty-six were killed, and all the survivors were wounded, and several of them were seriously injured and disabled.

More than 150 people were killed in the battle of the township bravery, the government servants, and the guards of large households, and filial piety clothes could be seen everywhere in the city, and the county government was almost swept away.

More than 70 houses were demolished in the city, and nearly 100 large livestock were lost or killed.

Of course, for a small city like Jiading, there are great losses, but there are also a lot of gains, at least a large number of silver and two belongings have been found on the bodies of the killed and captured pirates, plus the donations from the big households in the city before, Hu County, who re-emerged from the mountain, looks energetic.

However, Hu Xianling was soon disappointed, and he found that the subordinates who were originally respectful to him had changed, not to mention the head catchers and officials below, and the scribes and clerks in each room, even the county officials and wardens ignored him.

Soon, Hu Xianling found that he was not just disappointed, but should be desperate.

The extremely famous Gui Youguang, several gentry in the city who are quite well-connected in Suzhou Prefecture, and even Sun Chengen, the mentor of Hu County Order, without exception, are extremely rejecting this inactive county order.

This is a matter of course, even the calm county magistrate himself can accept this, for him, it is rare to escape with his life.

However, this is not a good thing for Qian Yuan, because Hu Xianling has already resigned and returned to his hometown, and the ghost knows when there will be another attack by the Japanese invaders, although it is said that thousands of miles are only for money, but small lives are more precious.

So when Hu County ordered Ma to ignore the matter, Qian Yuan helped deal with a lot of troubles after the war at the request of Gui Youguang, Zhang Xiancheng and the county chief bookkeeper, but he also pulled Zheng Ruozeng to work as a coolie.

For the people of the Ming Dynasty, it may be very troublesome, but for Qian Yuan, who went to the sea to do business and became his own boss in his previous life, it is not very difficult, not to mention that after this battle, from the county to the county, down to the officials, and even the people, they all bowed down to him.

After a busy day, Zheng Ruo once slipped to Guiyouguang's temporary residence, and the two of them were both old friends and brothers-in-law, so they drove straight into the study without informing.

Gui Youguang, who was sitting at the table, was holding a pen and pondering, turned his head and smiled: "The county government has finished dealing with it?" ”

The corners of Zheng Ruozeng's mouth twitched, he thought he was knowledgeable, but it was obviously far inferior to that Songjiang Xiucai.

In fact, this is very normal, the requirements for this kind of affairs in ancient times are far from being comparable to those of later generations, whether it is organizational ability, material allocation, financial management and other aspects, Qian Yuan, who was in charge in his previous life, can be regarded as unique in this era.

Although Zheng Ruozeng has been very busy these days, there are many links that he can't understand, but he is also keenly aware that the young man has a unique set of ideas for handling government affairs, and the effect is very good.

After a few perfunctory words, Zheng Ruozeng glanced at the table case and asked, "Yesterday you said that you wanted to write an article about this siege of the Japanese invaders?" ”

"Well, the beginning and end of the Jiading County Wakou book." Gui Youguang sighed.

Zheng Ruozeng bowed his head and recited: "Foolishness and defending the city, and the day when thieves come and go, witnessing the tragedy, I can't bear to speak......"

Gui Youguang pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think...... How is the Qian family? ”

Zheng Ruo once blurted out, "If you can successfully enter the Jinshi, you should be a good minister in the world." ”

"Boru, isn't this kind of evaluation too exaggerated?"

"No exaggeration." Zheng Ruozeng shook his head, "What I have seen in this life, only Shuangjiang Gong can be compared." ”

Gui Youguang was taken aback, Shuangjiang Gong is Nie Bao, who once served as the prefect of Huating County and the prefect of Suzhou, and now he is the official to the Great Sima, and he is very famous in the Susong area.

Although Nie Bao was not well-known in later generations, and even many people only had the impression of Teacher Xu Jie, he was extremely famous during the Jiajing period.

As an official who is as honest as water, upright, and at the same time upright and honest, not afraid of being strong and strong, and even more civil and military, Nie Bao has long been considered by the world to be a figure who must go down in history.

Comparing Nie Bao and Qian Yuan is a very high evaluation.

Gui Youguang nodded with a smile, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote a paragraph at the end of the text.

"When it was, the officers and soldiers were defeated and retreated, the township was scattered, the officials and the people were in an uproar, and everyone was tied, fortunately there was Qian Yuan, a member of Songjiang Huating, who called him left and right, and went out of the city to attack the thieves ......"

Zheng Ruozeng praised: "With Mr. Zhenchuan's praise for Chrysostom, the name of the Qian family can spread all over the country." ”

"Maybe he doesn't appreciate it yet!" Gui Youguang is still very hard-mouthed.

Well, Qian Yuan really may not understand this situation.

Everything that happened later had a deep relationship with this "Jiading County Wakou Beginning and End Book", when this article spread, Qian Yuan's reputation skyrocketed, but it also involved him in some things he didn't want to participate in.

However, even without this article, Qian Yuan can be regarded as a registered among the high-ranking officials in Nanzhili and Zhejiang.

Others don't say it, when the news reached the governor yamen of Hangzhou, Wang Chen and Xingshi were shocked at first, and then overjoyed.

"The Qian family is really a lucky star for adults!" Xingshi smiled: "Letter from Jingzhong, if there is a victory at this time, it will be much easier for adults to be promoted." ”

Delivering a big victory at such a critical juncture, there is no doubt that Wang Chen's hope of escaping the crater has greatly increased, and not only that, the right attendant of the DPRK Central Military Department just happened to be vacant, and it is not small that Wang Chen will make up for it.
