Chapter 450: Surrender
Yiwu County, Jinhua Prefecture.
On the hill on the bank of the Yiwu River, Qian Yuan stands on a huge rock and stands in the wind, as far as the eye can see, there is a small town full of ancient meaning, there is a military camp a few miles on the left side of the town, the shouting and killing sound of the drill can be faintly heard, looking at it from afar, waving the flag, such as the recruits the size of ants are lined up, neat and solemn.
Qi Jimei has successfully recruited 1,000 people, Yang Wen, Zhang San, and Zhou Ze have led 40 guards into the camp to train recruits, and Wang Yi has also taken the new guards to train together.
At the end of the trail behind Qian Yuan, two people came quickly, the leader was Liang Wen, who was promoted to the deputy leader of the guard, and the latter one was white-haired, but he was tall, Zhao Dahe, Zhixian County, Yiwu.
"Zhao Zhixian, please wait a moment." Liang Wen whispered, walked forward quickly, and hesitated a little in his heart, he knew that the young master received a letter from Feng Jingzhong yesterday, and he frowned all day today, and he didn't have a smiling face when he saw anyone, even Qi Jiguang, the deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang, who arrived in Yiwu today, touched a nail.
"Young master, it's Yiwu Zhixian."
Qian Yuan didn't turn around, didn't speak, opened his arms, and the slightly damp wind blew his clothes fluttering, but it couldn't blow away the irritability in his heart.
The news brought by the guards yesterday made Qian Yuan's heart sink, he didn't expect that Xu Jie's heart would be on his mind at the same time as he was in Jingcha.
Unlike Yan Shifan and Xu Wei, the identity of Qian Yuan's traverser let him know more, Shen Lian died in history this year, and Yan Song's father and son ordered Yang Shun to kill Shen Lian in the name of the White Lotus Sect.
Once Shen Lian died at the hands of the Yan Party, Qian Yuan had to make a choice, otherwise the Suiyuan scholars based on the Shaoxing scholars would fall apart.
Qian Yuan wondered in his heart whether Xu Jie wanted to use this to pull him into the water, or did he aim at himself?
It is understandable to pull people into the water, Xu Jie is now being put on his neck by Yan Dang in the name of Jingcha.
But the target is Qian Yuan...... Qian Yuan himself does not have this qualification, but the Yuwang Mansion behind him does.
From Zhu Dashou to Pan Sheng, from Qian Yuan himself to Gao Gong, the Suiyuan party has a strong influence on Emperor Jiajing and King Yu, and there is no doubt that Xu Jie can see this.
Unlike Yan Song, Xu Jie is still young, and he needs to consider his influence in the court after Yan Song Zhishi and after the death of Emperor Jiajing.
Qian Yuan regretted it a little, maybe it was a bit reckless to push Pan Sheng up to replace Ding Wei's Zhu Dashou at the end of last year...... Xu Jie couldn't bear the fact that Zhang Juzheng, who he fancied, couldn't become Yuwang's henchman.
To put it mildly, Xu Jie needs Zhang Juzheng, a student, to wave the flag and shout for himself after the new emperor ascends the throne.
To put it mildly, Xu Jie also needs Zhang Juzheng to become Yuwang's confidant to avoid Yuwang's possible malice towards him...... You must know that over the years, Xu Jie has not been shy about Yuwang.
From Pan Sheng's ascension, to Wang Bengu's gains and losses in Zhejiang, and then to this time...... The superficial warmth between Qian Yuan and Xu Jie was gone, and he needed to be wary of a possible sneak attack by this poisonous snake.
But this is also where Qian Yuan is angry, Jingcha provoked the important ministers and bigwigs in Beijing to bite each other, and everyone in the cabinet, the six ministries, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are paying attention to Jingcha, who cares about the upcoming war in the southeast?
The flames of anger burned in the depths of Qian Yuan's heart, and even after climbing the mountain and blowing a cool breeze, it was still raging.
Where is Beijing City, obviously Hongdong County!
After a long while, Qian Yuan, whose face was still ugly, turned around and smiled reluctantly, "Brother Zhao doesn't entertain Yuan Jing, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhao Dahe looked at Qian Yuan's face and said with a wry smile: "Yuan Jing openly reprimanded his younger brother ......"
"Nonsense!" Qian Yuan said coldly: "The military camp was built by Yiwu for recruitment and training, not for him Qi Yuanjing!" ”
Yiwu soldiers performed well in Taizhou and Jiaxing last year, Qi Jiguang wrote to the governor's palace early, and Hu Zongxian allowed him to recruit another 2,000 troops in Yiwu.
But what Qi Jiguang didn't expect was that Lu Bin, Hou Jigao, and Qian Yuan, who were transferred from Jiaxing Mansion to Taizhou, were all interested in the source of Yiwu soldiers.
What Qi Jiguang didn't expect was that he sent deputy generals Wu Weizhong and Chen Dacheng back to Yiwu to recruit troops on the twentieth day of the first month, and Qi Jimei had already arrived in Yiwu on the seventh day of the first month.
Yiwu soldiers in Taizhou, Jiaxing several battles have already made a reputation, but also sent back the snowflake pattern silver, Qi Jimei recruited 2,000 soldiers within 10 days, and then got Qian Yuan's permission, recruited another 1,000 soldiers, and directly lived in the barracks where Qi Jiguang trained soldiers.
Now Wu Weizhong and Chen Dacheng are blind, Yiwu is not short of soldiers, but people are in front of the best of the best, and they also occupy the military camp...... It's late February, and their barracks haven't been built yet.
The news came back to Ningbo, Qi Jiguang rushed to Yiwu in a hurry, and arrived in Yiwu early this morning and found Qian Yuan directly...... Well, in fact, it was Qian Yuan who scolded Qi Jiguang, and when it came to bickering, ten Qi Jiguang were not Qian Yuan's opponents.
Outside the barracks, Qi Jiguang finally stopped under the persuasion of a group of generals, and several of the elders of the Yiwu Qi clan were also comforting, although they were in the two armies, they were brothers in the end, why not?
"Where's the blacksmith?" Qi Jiguang asked with a gloomy face: "I have been there just a time, but the people are gone, and the iron materials are gone!" ”
"The Governor's Office ordered the blacksmith and the iron material to be moved to Taizhou Linhai." Yang Wen, who was behind Qi Jimei, stepped forward and raised his voice: "If General Qi is interested, he can report to the Governor's Mansion, the Governor of Zhejiang, or the Governor of Zhejiang. ”
Qi Jiguang was blocked and had nothing to say, he didn't have the courage to argue with Hu Ruzhen, Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng and Zhejiang Governor Qian Yuan were wearing a pair of pants...... And the blacksmith iron material was moved to Linhai County, and he knew that Qian Yuan did it with his ass.
"Yang Wen." Qi Jiguang barely squeezed out a smile, "If you come to Ningbo, you will be a guerrilla general within a year!" ”
Yang Wen lowered his eyes slightly and retreated into the queue, and Qi Jiguang realized that most of the faces behind his younger brother were familiar faces, Yang Wen, Zhang San, and Zhou Ze......
Qi Jiguang is itching with hatred now, with so many Qian family guards, he has been dying for more than two years...... Qian Yuan would rather lose it to Lu Bin and Qi Jimei than give it to himself!
In addition to the conditions of ordnance, training, and silver rewards, the most important thing for the Qi family army is the command ability of grassroots officers, so Qi Jiguang asked Qian Yuan for people several times.
Qian Yuan considered this in this regard...... You Qi Jiguang is famous in history, even if I don't give it to people, you can kill the wolf; And Lu Bin and Hou Jigao are characters I haven't heard of before, and it is helpful to try to strengthen their strength and fight against the overall situation.
The appearance of Yang Wen and his group made Qi Jiguang a little depressed, and he also recognized the reality...... With Qian Yuan in front, he can't go too far, at least he can't reprimand his younger brother Qi Jimei, who should be able to reprimand at will.
But it was really too much, rushing to the front to recruit troops, and actually robbed the barracks, blacksmiths, and iron materials...... You must know that Zhejiang does not produce much iron.
At this time, there was smoke and dust in the distance, and everyone was from the military, looking at the past vigilantly, there were scouts to report, and some people came to join the army.
Qi Jiguang's face changed, but Qi Jimei was radiant...... Both of them know in their hearts that the recruitment has ended, and those who come to join the army at this time are estimated to have some background or some confidence.
The scout who returned looked at the two brothers and said with a smile: "There are about three hundred people coming, the leader said...... Surrender to the general. ”
"Loyalty." Qi Jiguang immediately assigned his deputy Wu Weizhong to accept it.
Qi Jimei was even more ruthless, and directly took Yang Wen to greet him.
It was another chaotic scene, Wang Yi in the camp squinted his eyes and looked carefully, most of the men who joined the army outside were dark and stout, and they walked quite well, not like ordinary people.
"It's all good seedlings." Wang Yi sighed twice, he didn't care about those things, he turned around and shouted a few times, and a few new guards hurriedly cheered up.
Wang Yi knew that Qian Yuan would not let him go, and what he had to do now was to try to train these newcomers to look like before the big war...... You must know that the young master is a broom star, and he can meet the Japanese everywhere he goes!
It's quiet outside, Qi Jiguang is smiling and greeting with someone who comes, this person is a Yiwu person, and he is a local family member of Lou, Lou Nan, the word is good, the number is Fuyan, Wu can kill the enemy, and Wen can chant poetry.
Historically, Lou Nan was an important general of the Qi family's army, and he had always been the vanguard of the army, cutting generals and capturing the flag, invincible, and later promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Yunnan.
In fact, as early as the 27th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang led the Shandong Guard Army to defend Jizhou, and made friends with Lou Nan in the Shanhaiguan area at that time...... This time, Lou Nan came specifically to join Qi Jiguang.
"A misunderstanding." Lou Nan smiled bitterly: "I only heard that the general who came to recruit troops was surnamed Qi, so I naturally thought it was Brother Yuan Jing, but I didn't expect it to be ......."
Qi Jiguang laughed and said: "With the help of good talents this time, we will definitely be able to break the Japanese bandits!" ”
Lou Nan saw Qi Jimei's unhappy face, and persuaded: "Brother Ling broke the Japanese in Taizhou several times, and even sailed overseas, the Japanese were frightened and promoted to the deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang, why should Jimei seek the wilderness?" ”
Qi Jimei also read since she was a child, but she didn't understand this sentence.
But at this moment, a cold voice sounded outside the crowd.
"Qi Yuanjing was a famous general for a while, but his younger brother Qi Jimei Jiaxing Mansion went to war with his own official, Changshui Town and Tongxiang fought twice, and led 500 Yiwu soldiers to hold on and not retreat, so there was a great victory, how could he see Yu Ye?"
Lou Nan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see that a path had been split in the crowd, and Qian Yuan, who looked indifferent, was coming slowly.
Lou Nan's sentence "seeking the wild" is derived from "seeking the wild because of the loss of courtesy", which means that Qi Jiguang has military merits and is the deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang, and you Qi Jimei is not staying at his brother's place, but ran to his army, which is really unreasonable.
Qian Yuan's response was quite sharp, Qi Jiguang only fought a few small battles in Taizhou, and Qi Jimei confronted Xu Hai's main force in Jiaxing Mansion and won a great victory in Jiaxing...... It's hard to say who has higher combat achievements.
Qi Jiguang looked at his grateful brother speechlessly, and arched his hand: "This is ......"
"Although I am in Shanhaiguan, I also know that the Huating Qian family is a hero again." Lou Nan saluted and said: "I don't know that Jimei is going to fight in Jiaxing Mansion, and I ask my lord to forgive me." ”
Qian Yuan personally supported, "Yiwu Lou's family...... Lou Da is you? ”
"It's the next eldest brother."
"Hehe, interesting." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Jing and Lou Dayou killed the widows in Ningbo, and Jimei and you killed the widows in Taizhou, and it depends on whether the elder brother is better, or the younger brother is better than the blue!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lou Nan lowered his head in embarrassment, and Qi Jiguang was so angry that he smoked...... You Qian Zhancai is unreasonable today, and you insist on robbing people!
