Chapter 398: Trading

In the case that the forces at both ends of the north and south were pinned, and Xu Hai invaded Jiaxing Mansion on a large scale and completely defeated the main force of the official army led by Lu Bo, Qian Yuan took a group of remnants of the defeated generals and a small number of reinforcements to burst up, and twice defeated and hugged Tongxiang County.

Hu Zongxian's bow is indeed sincere, and Qian Yuan can indeed bear it.

Not to mention that Hu Zongxian used a trick to drive Qian Yuan to Jiaxing, on the way to Tongxiang County, Hu Zongxian was glad many times about his whimsical ideas that night.

After the face project of the two sides was completed, Hu Zongxian took a few staff members and Qian Yuan into the study, and the generals were waiting outside.

General Liu Xian is not tall, dark complexion, but standing in front of the hall with a knife is extraordinary, he is a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, because of the many bandits in Jiangxi to have military merits, the official to the deputy thousand households was selected by Hu Zongxian to be transferred to the eastern part of Zhejiang.

In the Shaoxing War, Liu Xian led his troops back and forth between Shanyin and Yuyao several times to help, and he is the general that Hu Zongxian relies on the most.

Historically, among the famous anti-Japanese generals who poured out from the southeast, Lu Bo was counted in addition to Yu Long and Qi Hu, and then Liu Xian, who later followed Qi Jiguang south to Fujian to fight against the Japanese.

There are not many generals in the southeast who can leave their influence until twenty years later, there are only two, Qi Jiguang is one, even if he dies, the Qi family army also has a bright performance in the battle of Korea, and Liu Xian is another.

However, Liu Xian's way is a little special, he does not have Liu Jiajun, but his son Liu Wei twice entered the dynasty to resist the Japanese, and later put down Yang Yinglong's rebellion, Wanli participated in the three major expeditions twice, and finally died in the Battle of Sarhu.

Liu Wei was known as the "first fierce general of the late Ming Dynasty", known as "Liu Dadao", and his father Liu Xian was known for his fierceness and fierceness, but he was also known for his mastery of the art of war and cunning.

The reason why Hu Zongxian chose Liu Xian was because of the recommendation of Zhang Wei, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department...... Later, these two also became sons and daughters.

If Qian Yuan was a scholar specializing in the study of the late Ming Dynasty in his previous life, he might have known this, but unfortunately, he had heard the name Liu Ling, but he had never heard of Liu Xian at all...... Liu Wei was not born at this time.

"Liu Xian brought 2,000 soldiers, Tongxiang County originally brought 2,000 Shandong soldiers led by Jiang Xuan, and then Brother Wei Xi brought 800 soldiers to help, plus about 1,000 people from Chongde County." Qian Yuan shook his head, "It's too risky." ”

Shen Mingchen said with a smile: "Changshui Town and Tongxiang County have two great victories, and everyone in Jiaxing Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion praises Huating Qian Zhan's talent and integrity, courage and knowledge...... Zhancai, where is your guts? ”

"Zhuge is only cautious in his life." Qian Yuan sat there and didn't move, "In the battle outside Changshui Town, the Japanese were just stragglers, and in this battle in Tongxiang County, half of the three thousand Japanese soldiers led by Xu Hai were not his descendants......"

"Xu Hai is going west, and he will inevitably convene the ...... of his descendants"

After sneering, Qian Yuan continued: "In other words, although the main force under Xu Hai's command has suffered a lot of losses, it still has the strength to fight. ”

"Even if Yu Dayou goes south in time to help...... But don't forget, when I was in Shangyu, I said that Xu Hai's main force was about 5,000, and he only brought 3,000 Japanese with him when he defeated Lu Bo, even if some of them were left in the lair, there should still be some ......"

Qian Yuan glanced at Zheng Ruozeng, "I heard that in the past half a month, Shanyin, Xiaoshan, Yuyao, and Cixi have all been almost attacked by the Japanese invaders. ”

Hu Zongxian's brows became tighter and tighter, he galloped to Tongxiang this time, in an attempt to use Liu Xian's 2,000 people to join the forces of Tongxiang County, and then order Yu Dayou to go south, attack the Japanese in the north and south, and rescue the young and strong who were coerced to the greatest extent.

Qian Yuan got up and picked up the Miao knife and pointed it on the map on the wall, "What if Xu Hai's fleet is in Pinghu...... I wouldn't be surprised if the would-be robbers from Shaoxing and Cixi suddenly appeared near Pinghu, because it's a bit far from Jiaxing by land, but it's a day away from the sea, with a tailwind. ”

"What's more, the initiative is in the hands of Xu Hai, if the fleet goes south to Haiyan and north to Jinshan?"

Zheng Ruozeng, who made this battle plan, had to admit that his plan was a bit wishful thinking, Xu Hai would probably not be so well-behaved by the two sides of the official army, and Xu Hai was likely to have the strength to fight.

"Ask me...... That is not to send troops. Qian Yuan said indifferently: "Yu Dayou is a famous general for a while, even if he can't defeat Xu Hai, but his command is a new army that has been trained, and there is no big problem with self-preservation, but Liu Xian ......"

"Brother Ruzhen, I'm also thinking about you......" Qian Yuan's last sentence was meaningful.

Zheng Ruozeng and Shen Mingchen both sighed, Qian Yuan's words were reasonable, if Liu Xian and Lu Bo were defeated by Xu Hai neatly...... Then the Japanese will go back and grab another handful, then this black pot will be firmly buckled on the head of Hu Zongxian, who rushed to Jiaxing Mansion in person.

Hu Zongxian looked up at Qian Yuan, "What about Ruan?" ”

"Yesterday, Zhejiang Jinyi Wei lock was brought into Beijing."

Obviously, Hu Zongxian also understood Qian Yuan's hint for the first time, and asking about Ruan Yi is the proof...... Now it is Ruan Yi who is carrying the pot, and Hu Zongxian does not have the hobby of carrying the pot with him.

Picked up the teacup and drank the residual tea, Hu Zongxian stabilized his mind, knowing that this time he was confused, and he didn't think about it well, and now it seems that it is impossible to keep Xu Hai, so ......

Under the scorching eyes, Qian Yuan looked back at Hu Zongxian calmly, "Silver." ”

He Xinyin on the side really wanted to pull out his sword to give this guy a heart-chill, when did he still want to die and ask for money!

Hu Zongxian immediately nodded in response, "Intercept the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jiangxi and Nanzhili will implement the compilation law...... A first-grade thirty-tael pattern of silver, this price is quite fair. ”

"Artisan."

"Bird?" Hu Zongxian raised his eyebrows, "The craftsman must concentrate on making bird guns, and at most he can only privately allocate some ...... Okay, transfer a few craftsmen for you! ”

Qian Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and sat back on the stool, "Lu Bo's 4,000 army is lost, and what army is stationed in Jiaxing Mansion?" ”

Hu Zongxian glanced at Qian Yuan suspiciously, and asked tentatively: "Lu Bin was originally a guerrilla general stationed in Jiaxing, and it is impossible for the wolf soldiers in Tianzhou to ...... Wu Song guerrilla Hou Jigao? Put the total Qi Jimei? ”

Qian Yuan grinned, "Brother Ru Zhen will look at it." ”

Hu Zongxian snorted, this is an idea, not excessive...... He also knew that he was yin by himself twice in a row some time ago, and Qian Yuan was taking revenge.

Qian Yuan tilted his head and was still thinking, his lips opened slightly several times, and Shen Mingchen on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he stabbed Qian Yuan's shoulder in the back.

It's a pity, there are some things that Hu Zongxian can't do, but Qian Yuan is still a little unwilling, it's rare to be able to pick up wool, and there may not be such an opportunity next time.

"By the way, remember three years ago...... The violent death of the general Zhang Siwei's house was not sold? ”

"Here you go!" Hu Zongxian waved his hand dryly: "Later, someone will give an order to hang the plaque in the food garden!" ”

Zheng Ruozeng looked at this scene speechlessly, Qian Yuan was really polite, and when he found the opportunity, he opened his mouth, and the garden would be counted even if it was placed in the entire southeast!

After thinking about it again and again in his mind, Qian Yuan had to put forward various small conditions for the Qian family's guards, such as pensions, silver rewards, equipment and weapons supplies, and Hu Zongxian waved his hand again and again with a black face.

Finally saw Qian Yuan get up and push the door out, Hu Zongxian breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zheng Ruozeng after pondering for a while, "If you send troops, you still have to send troops, advance cautiously, first go north to test Wuzhen, and then go east to Wangjiangjing and Xiushui, and open the canal as soon as possible." ”

Qian Yuan went out to find Yang Wen and explained in a low voice: "Thirty guards will be dispatched to leave at any time." ”

"Where?"

"Back to Beijing."

In this battle, although there were also a few victories, Xu Hai even suffered a big loss in the hands of Qian Yuan, but from a strategic point of view, Xu Hai was undoubtedly the winner.

Although there is a Zhejiang governor Ruan Yi, as well as Liu Yuan, the general soldier of Zhejiang, and Lu Bo, the deputy general soldier of Zhejiang, who are here to take the blame, Hu Zongxian is still afraid...... I am afraid that my position as the governor of Zhejiang will not be guaranteed.

What can Qian Yuan do?

He may not be able to keep the position of governor of Zhejiang for Hu Zongxian, and Hu Zongxian did not put all his hopes on Qian Yuan.

But one thing is certain, last year Qian Yuan was summoned to Beijing to Xiyuan for an audience, and Hu Zongxian was immediately promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, there is no doubt that Qian Yuan was influential on Emperor Jiajing, especially in the matter of the anti-Japanese war in the southeast.
