Chapter 506: Bright Guns and Hidden Arrows
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from the young man in front of him, Yu Dayou laughed dryly, and pulled the ignorant Qi Jimei to walk away quickly, he was supported by Zheng Ruozeng, and Hu Zongxian came over in person, obviously to continue the secret talk.
The staff were scattered around, and Hu Zongxian paced over alone, sitting beside Qian Yuan with a smile.
"Talent ......"
Qian Yuan raised his right hand to signal to shut his mouth, and said directly: "First, the sea ships were sent to the vicinity of Xiangshan and Zhoushan, and they were placed under the command of Qi Jiguang, the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhejiang, and Ge Hao, the commander of Taizhou. β
It's all a thousand-year-old fox playing what to talk about, Hu Zongxian is trying to match the southeast victory and Qian Yuan, at least he doesn't want Qian Yuan to give him Hu Zongxian small shoes in front of Emperor Jiajing.
Qian Yuan was really too lazy to argue with Hu Zongxian, and directly stated the conditions.
"As it should be." Hu Zongxian immediately agreed, although he had just promised to give Yu Dayou half of it......
"Second, the Governor's Mansion shall not deduct the silver reward for this war." Qian Yuan glanced at Hu Zongxian, "Brother Ruzhen won't think that if you exterminate Xu Hai's department, there will be no widows, right?" β
"Of course not, the two divisions of the Sea Bandits, Xu Hai and Wang Zhi add up to only six or seven out of ten, although the tide of the war has been reversed, but the war in the southeast will continue for several years."
"Third, Jiang Zhou and Chen Keyuan sent a message to Wufeng, offering Xu Hai's head, and Xu Kaihai was forbidden to trade."
This is a condition that Hu Zongxian does not want to accept, and he is unwilling to have anything to do with the ban on trade between the seas...... But he had to consider the risk posed by Qian Yuan flipping the table in front of Emperor Jiajing.
Hu Zongxian stroked his long beard and thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I still hope that Zhan will protect Liu Xian." β
"How do you write good news?"
"Liu Xian led an army of 4,000 to intercept the Japanese invaders, killing a lot of casualties, and Xu Hai, the leader of the Kou, led a small army to break through the siege......"
Qian Yuan squinted at Hu Zongxian, and many things in the southeast will depend on this person in the future, if it breaks up because of this matter, I am afraid that it will be very troublesome in the future.
After pondering for a while, Qian Yuan nodded slightly and agreed to this condition.
After the matter was negotiated, Qian Yuan set off for Taizhou the next day, and the next thing had little to do with him.
But before setting off, Qian Yuan talked with Wu Baipeng and Yu Dayou in detail one by one, and met with Qi Jiguang, who was strangling the remnants, in Lianghu on the way south.
On the Cao'e River, Qian Yuan turned his head to look around at the more than 100 remaining guards on the ship, 40 guards joined the army at the beginning of the year, and recruited more than 200 people, and there were dozens of casualties after the first battle.
However, the morale of the guards is quite high, Liang Sheng boasted of his skills with a knife, chattering endlessly, such as Peng Feng and other guards who were not selected as assault armor soldiers, they couldn't help but be a little sour, and they could only say that they didn't have time to take the head, and now they are all counted on Qi Jiguang's subordinates.
"Young master, when will you enter Beijing after the southeast is finished?" Wang Yi asked in a low voice, "Do you need to make some preparations?" β
"Southeast?" Qian Yuan sighed, "It's still early, and there is Wang Zhi ...... next."
I haven't seen Wang Zhi until now, and in Qian Yuan's impression, this is a historical figure with an unpredictable personality.
A few years ago, he colluded with officials in the southeast to exterminate several Japanese bandits, and opened a grass market in Ligang to trade, Wang Zhi should be a rather sleek businessman.
But in history, he was lured ashore by Hu Zongxian...... Judging from the results, Wang Zhi was quite naΓ―ve, perhaps he thought that the promise of the governor of Zhezhi was enough, but he did not know that Hu Zongxian did not dare to call the shots in this kind of thing.
Even speculated in Qian Yuan's dark heart that Hu Zongxian suggested that Wang Zhi go to Hangzhou to visit Wang Bengu, the governor of Zhejiang...... In fact, Hu Zongxian could no longer withstand the pressure of impeachment by the Taoist officials of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and used a knife to kill people.
Hu Zongxian in history did not dare to start an all-out war at this time, so he could only lure Wang Zhi ashore vaguely, for the simple reason that he could not fight.
Even if it was Xu Hai, Hu Zongxian could only break through the divisive scheme, Yu Dayou did not start to train the new army at that time, and the Qi family army was even more nowhere to be seen.
But not necessarily in this life.
Yesterday's deal with Hu Zongxian sounded nothing special, but secretly it was turbulent, with open guns and hidden arrows.
Qian Yuan made it very clear that Wang Zhi sent Xu Hai's head, and Xu Kaihai banned trade, but Hu Zongxian was not interested in this.
Qian Yuan's worries are here, after seeing the combat strength of Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, and Yu Dayou, Hu Zongxian seems to have a lot of confidence in starting a war with Wang Zhi.
Think about it, Xu Hai and Wang Zhi have been at war for a long time, Xu Hai is good at war, and Wang Zhi can only rely on his strong foundation to maneuver...... Under Shangyu City, Qi Jiguang defeated Xu Hai's nearly 4,000 elite pirates in less than three quarters of an hour.
Qian Yuan can understand Hu Zongxian, on the one hand, Wang Zhi's reputation is far-reaching, and he is regarded as the big leader of the Japanese invaders, and secondly, aside from the overall preparations for the war, Hu Zongxian actually did not play a big role in this war...... In other words, he played a much smaller role than Qian Yuan.
But this is something that Qian Yuan will never allow to happen, and starting a war with Wang Zhi means that no matter how hard Qian Yuan tries, at least for a few years, the matter of opening the sea and banning trade will come to naught.
Therefore, the three conditions proposed by Qian Yuan are all aimed at this article.
swept away all the ships under the command of Qi Jiguang and Ge Hao, which meant that it was almost impossible for Hu Zongxian to assign Yu Dayou to lead the sailors to sea.
The full allocation of the reward silver means that the treasury silver accumulated by Hu Zongxian in the past two years will be greatly consumed.
Ling Wang sent Xu Hai's head, which was to tell Hu Zongxian that Qian Yuan's determination.
Swimming against the current into Taizhou Mansion, Qian Yuan stayed in Tiantai County for a day, and there were also many Japanese robbers in Taizhou during this time, and there were even Japanese robbers from Shaoxing Mansion who were scattered.
Lu Bin and Hou Jigao won consecutive battles in Ninghai, sweeping away the Japanese invaders entrenched in Xiangshan, and Tan Lun personally led his troops north to encircle and suppress the Japanese near Tiantai County, winning two games in a row and beheading more than 200 people.
The uncle and nephew sat down, Tan Lun listened to Qian Yuan's detailed account of the battle, and praised: "Last year, you commented on the generals of the southeast, Yu Long and Qihu, and sure enough!" β
Qian Yuan smiled reluctantly, "In the future, I'm afraid that a small group of would-be robbers will invade the coast, and my uncle will bother." β
"Where the duty lies." Tan Lun glanced at Qian Yuan in surprise, "Brother Yuan, what's the matter...... and ...... with the Governor."
Qian Yuan has never been very respectful to Hu Zongxian, which is well known to the high-level officials in the southeast, and of course, they also think that Qian Yuan has such qualifications...... Whether it's the identity of the patrol royal history, or the background behind him.
In the dim candlelight, Qian Yuan's face loomed.
After a long time, Qian Yuan said in a low voice: "If Wufeng is willing to be appeased......
"What?!" Tan Lun was shocked and got up, "Does the Governor's Mansion know about this matter?" β
Qian Yuan sneered: "Hu Ruzhen and Wang Wufeng are fellow villagers...... You tell me? β
"Then ......" Tan Lun's heart turned sharply, and he slowly sat down for a while, "The court is only afraid of ......"
"That's my business." Qian Yuan said coldly: "Please brother-in-law, the military order of the Governor's Palace, if there is a transfer to the Taizhou Army or Lu Bin's department, I need my permission." β
"Brother Yuan, the patrol is ...... to meddle in military power according to the imperial history" Tan Lun was anxious and persuaded: "This matter is not trivial, and you need to be cautious." β
Qian Yuan stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said awe-inspiringly: "I, Qian Zhan, have only gone south twice, but it's not just for a Xu Hai!" β
"He Hu Ruzhen is interested, but he doesn't know how to be interesting...... Qian someone will tell him that I can make him go straight to the governor of Zhejiang, and I can also knock him into the dust! β
Tan Lun looked at this nephew who had never been able to see his face clearly with a new gaze, such a tone, such confidence...... I don't know, I think it's an important minister in the court.
Qian Yuan did not boast that Hu Zongxian defeated Xu Hai, turned the tide of the battle in the southeast, and made great achievements, but Qian Yuan's secret performance was enough to make him lose power...... Kou Shou Wang Zhi wanted to surrender, but Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, did not allow it.
This is called being on the sidelines.
Emperor Jiajing hoped to pacify the southeast rebellion in a short time, Xu Jie was eyeing Hu Zongxian, Yan Song and Yan Shifan actually did not support Hu Ruzhen much, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not have a good impression of Hu Zongxian...... Qian Yuan had the confidence to knock Hu Zongxian into the dust in a short period of time.
Now it depends on whether Hu Zongxian knows whether it is interesting or not, but what Qian Yuan needs to do is to prevent Hu Zongxian and Wang Zhi from going to war.
Among the southeastern armies, Qi Jimei's department is Qian Yuan's hardcore, the Taizhou army has always been independent, and Tan Lun is Qian Yuan's brother-in-law.
Lu Bin and Hou Jigao also have a large number of Qian Yuan's old departments, and the leader of the wolf soldiers, Zhong Nanwei, is the head of Qian Yuan, and Lu Bin is even more subservient to Qian Yuan.
The two heroes of this battle, Qi Jiguang is a sensible person, and he knows very well how he came to be the deputy general soldier of Zhejiang, after moving to Ningbo Mansion, regardless of whether Qian Yuan is there or not, a letter was sent to Qian Mansion in Linhai County on the 10th.
However, although Yu Dayou has not met Qian Yuan much in recent years and owes him too many favors, he is a square person, but Qian Yuan has taken away a large number of sea ships.
This is also the reason why Hu Zongxian supported Liu Xian, and almost all the commanders of the southeast army were more or less related to Qian Yuan.
In a sense, this is also what Qian Yuan did deliberately, which is why he specially found Wu Baipeng and Yu Dayou to talk in detail, and wanted to see Qi Jiguang on the way south.
In the Ming Dynasty, many times, the size of power was not determined by the level of official position, and you were the governor of Zhejiang, the king of the southeast.
But Qian Yuan, who was born and raised in the southeast for so many years, can directly control Lu Bin, Qi Jimei, and Tan Lun's departments, and can indirectly influence Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.
However, these are all recognized as the most capable of killing Japanese in the southeastern armies, and only Liu Xian, a general in eastern Zhejiang, who relied on Hu Zongxian, lost his troops and lost his generals, and he was embarrassed.
