A group of more than 100 people went out of Linhai County, went straight to Tiantai County, rested for a night and then detoured into Shaoxing Mansion from the west side of Tiantai Mountain, went straight north to Yuesheng County, and arrived at the destination at dusk on the second day, Shangyu County.

Even if Hu Zongxian was extraordinarily courageous, he did not dare to set up the provisional governor's yamen in Yuyao, Cixi and other places at the forefront, but Shangyu was already considered a front line, although it was a hundred miles away from Yuyao, but there were waterways.

"I don't know if it was Brother Jia Ze or Brother Bolu who chose it." Qian Yuan saw the military camp from a distance, opened the map in his hand, and took a closer look at the sunset that had not yet set down the mountain, "Shangyu is convenient by land and water, to the west to aid Shanyin, to the east to aid Ningbo Cixi, and to Yuyao and Linhaiwei, it is indeed a good place to set up the governor's palace." ”

Putting away the map, Qian Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Ruzhen is quite bold, although Shangyu is good, but once the Japanese break through the front of the official army, Shangyu will ......"

"It's Kaiyang Gong's suggestion in Shangyu." Hu Guiqi on the side explained a few words, lowered his voice and said: "Zhancai, change your name later, don't forget." ”

"Got it, eldest nephew."

Qian Yuan responded casually, causing everyone on the side to laugh, Hu Guiqi is actually twenty-three years old this year, older than Qian Yuan.

The group rushed to the camp gate, and there was a loud shout.

"What people!" A small colonel with a saber at his waist squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and immediately ordered to open the camp gate, greeted him, and saluted: "It turned out to be Qian Hanlin." ”

This little school has been with him since Hu Zongxian was the prefect of Hangzhou, and he is very familiar with Qian Yuan, and respectfully leads the way, "The Governor and several staff members are still talking about when Qian Hanlin will arrive." ”

The corners of Hu Guiqi's mouth, who was following behind, twitched, he just wanted to make a queue to let people open the camp gate...... He is now also in the military.

"Show your talents!" Shen Mingchen's eyesight is good, the sunset is about to set, he saw Qian Yuan from a distance, and walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Some people say that you refuse to come, but Brother Bolu and I have made a package ticket for you." ”

"I only got the letter the night before yesterday, and I set off early yesterday morning." Qian Yuan said casually: "Who said I wouldn't come? ”

Shen Mingchen is good at poetry and literature, good at geography, and good at official correspondence, but he has no talents, and he can't say anything, so he bluntly changed the topic, "Running all the way, let's arrange a rest first, Gui Qi, you lead the Qian family guards to the west side, it has been arranged." ”

The little colonel who led the way found Hu Guiqi and bent down again and again to apologize, and Liang Sheng, who was following behind, couldn't help but smack his tongue, he didn't recognize the son of the governor, but he recognized Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan did not follow Shen Mingchen directly, but followed Hu Guiqi all the way to the accommodation, in fact, this military camp used to be a small village, it was wrapped, and there were still a few houses left on the west side, and seventy-two guards could not live, but now at the end of August, they can sleep on the straw mats.

"The stove will be built tonight, and we won't eat with the people in the Governor's Palace." Qian Yuan pointed and said, "The seasonings are all collected, in case the rain is wet and damp......"

"Let's go!" Shen Mingchen couldn't cry or laugh, "Let them do such trivial things, just think about eating!" ”

"What if I run into a Japanese and I can't eat?" Qian Yuan said with a heartfelt voice, "My Qian family's elite guards are here, the first thing is to eat and drink enough, and every day is rice and fish meat!" ”

Qian Yuan knows one thing very well, in the era of such backward transportation and communication, he will inevitably travel around the southeast, and he still has those secrets, all of which need to be escorted by guards.

Not to mention that Qian Yuan will encounter broken things almost every time he travels, Jiading, Chongde, Huizhou...... If it weren't for the brave guards, his life would have been confessed a long time ago.

For this reason, although Qian Yuan does not personally manage the guards, he often mingles with the guards, and will try his best to be gracious whenever he has the opportunity...... A two-rank jinshi bothered about the diet of the guards of the status of domestic slaves, which was a grace in this era.

The effect is very good, very good, Qian Yuan left half an hour later, and several newcomers were still talking about it in private, and even Liang Sheng, who had been well fed and clothed since he was a child, was amazed.

The Governor's Mansion is located at the back of the barracks, in a large mansion with three entrances in front and back, Qian Yuan went all the way in, and the sound of greeting and greeting was endless, which is understandable, the people who went to raid the house a few days ago were the personal soldiers around Hu Zongxian, and they gained a lot from top to bottom, and they were naturally very grateful to Qian Yuan.

The huge map was spread out on the table, three or four servants were holding oil lamps, Hu Zongxian was frowning and pondering, and there were three staff members standing beside him.

Qian Yuan swept his eyes and immediately knew who Shen Mingchen was talking about before.

Zheng Ruozeng had a good relationship with Qian Yuan, and Mao Kun and Qian Yuan also had a relationship, but He Xinyin and Qian Yuan were disgusted with each other.

"Zhan Cai is here." Zheng Ruozeng looked up, quickly lowered his head and continued to look at the map, "Is there any news?" ”

"Nope." Qian Yuan strode to the table, "Ninghai and Linhai have left people, and if there is news, it will be sent immediately, what is the situation now?" ”

"Five days ago, the Japanese invaded Yuyao, and four days ago, the Japanese invaded Cixi, Ningbo Prefecture, and the soldiers were sharp and broke the formation again and again." Mao Kun frowned and said: "But it seems that there are not many Japanese soldiers, and the official army is mainly defending the city, so there is not much damage so far." ”

"In Taiping County, Taizhou Prefecture, there are Japanese robbers ashore, and in addition, I heard in Tiantai County yesterday that there are Japanese robbers attacking Xiangshan Changguowei." Qian Yuan paused, "But there are not many troops...... What does Xu Hai want to do? ”

Hu Zongxian tilted his waist and slid his index finger on the map, "Taizhou? Ningbo? Shaoxing? ”

"There are Tan Zili and Qi Yuanjing in Taizhou Mansion, Tang Kekuan in Ningbo Mansion, Brother Ru Zhen in Shaoxing Mansion in person, and General Liu Xian." Qian Yuan hesitated: "Now Hangzhou Mansion? ”

"Liu Yuan, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, is in Hangzhou." Zheng Ruozeng sighed: "Judging from the invasion of Xu Hai over the years, Songjiang Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion are the most likely, but since last year, there have been fewer and fewer Japanese invaders in Songjiang and Jiaxing, and more and more Japanese invaders have gone to Ningbo and Shaoxing. ”

He Xinyin, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "Why are there fewer and fewer Japanese invaders in Songjiang?" ”

"Haha, of course it's because of Zhancai." Shen Mingchen said with a smile: "Zhancai has been defeated several times, but if the Japanese encounter Zhancai, they will have bad luck, it is said that there are masters who have calculated a hexagram, Zhancai is the reincarnation of the broom star, and even the owner of the Wufeng ship has ordered, don't go to Songjiang to find trouble." ”

Hu Zongxian straightened up, and a few smiles appeared on his face, "This time I want to borrow the exhibition...... Let's see if this broom star lives up to its name! ”

Qian Yuan was speechless, in fact, this matter is really not that simple, more than a year ago, it was his father Qian Rui who found a charlatan to do a show, on the one hand, for his son, and on the other hand, for Songjiang Xiangzi.

Now the military situation in various places seems to be frequent, but in fact, there is no major action, Qian Yuan casually flipped through the military newspaper, frowned and asked: "Ninghai is invaded by Japanese robbers?" ”

"It's not much, it's just hundreds of pirates." Mao Kun replied casually: "There are eight hundred garrisons in Ninghai County, plus the township brave...... Defend the city. ”

Hu Zongxian glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw Qian Yuan's solemn expression, "Show your talents? ”

Qian Yuan hesitated, he didn't quite know why Hu Zongxian had He Xinyin by his side.

"Mr. Fushan's noble conduct is admired by the world, and he made up his mind three months ago to help Hu quell the rebellion." Hu Zongxian made a look, "It's okay to show your talents." ”

Speaking of Qian Yuan's credit, he went south through Hangzhou, and He Xinyin was about to vomit blood that time, and He Xinyin, who left quickly in history, chose to stay this time.

Qian Yuan no longer hesitated, walked to the table with one hand holding the candlestick, and pointed at the map with an unsheathed Miao knife in the other, "Although there are hundreds of Japanese robbers, they are unable to capture Ninghai County, but they are afraid that they will not be able to capture Sanmen Town, and most of the recruits of Qi Yuanjing's department stationed in Taozhu may not take the initiative to attack......

"So what?" He Xinyin didn't say anything outright, but frowned and asked: "I don't know where the main force of the Japanese invaders is, Qi Yuanjing is cautious not to rush forward, and he is in harmony with the art of war." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Qian Yuan, these words did not match Qian Yuan's reputation for military strategy over the years.

Qian Yuan moved the Miao Dao expressionlessly, and pointed near a narrow bay to the west of Sanmen Town on the map, "There is no room for loss here, and the nearby sea needs to be cleaned." ”

After being quiet for a while, Zheng Ruozeng said in a low voice: "Taizhou Tan Zili has a warship going to sea there. ”

"It's just hundreds of widows, Qi Yuanjing has the style of a famous general, and he should be able to defeat it soon if he takes the initiative to attack." Mao Kun added: "In addition, if the main force of the Japanese invaders attacked Taizhou, they should be able to find traces, and if the main force of the Japanese invaders did not attack Taizhou, it should not be difficult to clean up the sea." ”

Shen Mingchen nodded and said: "Xu Hai's wingman is cunning and insidious, but his means are extraordinary, if the main force snoops on the coast, it should be used intensively. ”

Hu Zongxian looked at Qian Yuan, "Where is it?" ”

"Sanmen Town, ten people."

Hu Zongxian patted the table lightly, "Brother Jiaze, draft the text." ”

Shen Mingchen picked up the brush and waved it, Hu Zongxian glanced at it a few times and motioned to Zheng Ruozeng to take out the official seal and stamp it, it was Wang Yin who originally managed the official seal, but this time he stayed in Hangzhou.

The three fast horses drove out of the barracks and galloped in the direction of Ninghai, Qian Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, Hu Zongxian guessed in his heart whether this move could allow him to grasp the initiative, and He Xinyin was in a state of confusion from beginning to end.
