Chapter 109: Sense of Smell
Although it encountered the Japanese rebellion, in addition to Ningbo, Taizhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing and other places on the southeast coast, the commercial transportation in various places in the south of the Yangtze River is still circulating, the large and small ships on the Suzhou Canal are shuttling, and the pink walls on both sides of the river are still the same, and it seems that the war is still far away from here.
But on this day, the Suzhou Canal Wharf was a little chaotic, a large number of soldiers cleared an area of about three or four miles, and a three-story official ship slowly docked.
No one got off the boat, but there were people on horseback or in sedan chairs, handing posts and waiting on the shore, and from time to time the boat called a few people to board the boat.
The owner of the ship didn't seem to want to see too many people, so much so that there was only one guest in the small living room.
This guest has a national face, a slightly dark complexion, not tall but tall as a pine, with an awe-inspiring majesty, he is Zhang Jing, the first governor of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he took office, he was teased by Xu Hai, Zhang Jing's face was not good-looking, he frowned and asked in a low voice: "Brother Shuangjiang, Yu Dayou's ......"
Nie Bao's back, who was quite tired along the way, seemed to be a little crooked, and he nodded and said: "I just received the news that Shoufu has submitted the Chongde battle report to His Majesty, and Yu Dayou has been transferred to Wusong as the chief soldier. ”
Although he has suffered repeated defeats, Zhang Jing knows very well that such as Lu Bo, Tang Kekuan, and Yu Dayou are still important people he needs to rely on.
Nie Bao glanced at Zhang Jing, who was still frowning, "Although it is Wu Song's chief soldier, it is still deployed by you." ”
Zhang Jing Huan Hai has been up and down for decades, but he still has a temperament, and immediately asked: "It is said that Yu Dayou and Yan ......"
"Nonsense." Nie Bao shook his head, "Don't think about it, Yu Dayou and Yan Song actually have nothing to do with each other, I know the inside story of this matter." ”
Nie Bao didn't continue to explain, but changed the topic, "What you need to worry about is the one outside." ”
Zhang Jing knew that this was talking about Yan Song's godson Zhao Wenhua, who went to Jiangnan with Nie Bao.
"Ting Yi, the governor of Zhejiang is also in charge of the soldiers and horses of the six provinces, acting cheaply, you don't need to think too much." Nie Bao accentuated his tone, "The old man went south this time, so that you don't have to think too much about ......."
After a long silence, Zhang Jing thanked him.
When it comes to this, Zhang Jing naturally understands it.
Regarding the southeast anti-Japanese resistance, Xu Jie's defeat, Li Mo couldn't intervene, and only Yan Song and Nie Bao were in charge of this matter.
In this case, it is impossible for Yan Song not to send someone to the south to share the work, and Nie Bao went south to keep an eye on Zhao Wenhua, although Zhang Jing is old, he may not be taken into account by Zhao Wenhua.
"My lord, Mr. Yu's name post." The servants reported outside the hall.
"Let him wait." Nie Bao waved off the servants and said with a smile: "Yu Dayou's luck is really good. ”
"That's true, Pinghu was defeated by the Japanese Invaders, but I didn't expect to be able to win a great victory in Chongde." Zhang Jing also smiled: "It's barely saving some face." ”
Nie Bao pointed at Zhang Jing, "Ting Yi, you and I are the same year, why bother making words!" ”
Nie Bao and Zhang Jing are both Jinshi in Zhengde's twelfth year, which is also the main reason why Xu Jie pressed Zhang Jing before.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Jing laughed and said, "I also want to meet the Qian family, who is known as the hero of Huating." ”
Nie Bao didn't smile, tilted his head and squinted, and slowly asked, "Why?" ”
"Why?" Zhang Jing's laughter stopped, and he said in surprise: "A student who has the ability to help officers and soldiers defend the city naturally has this qualification." ”
Nie Bao silently picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Just so?" ”
"What other reasons?" Zhang Jing was inexplicable.
An inaudible sigh sounded, and Nie Bao was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid that the Japanese will invade the coast this year, are you sure?" ”
Zhang Jing hesitated for a while before saying, "If the Guangxi wolf soldiers can be in place as soon as possible, there is no big problem. ”
"Okay, the old man is in charge of the deployment." Nie Bao waved his hand, "Tingyi, you are busy with military affairs, go back to Hangzhou, the old man will leave for Songjiang tomorrow." ”
Although he was a jinshi in the same year, Zhang Jing had always been a little brother in front of Nie Bao, and he put down the teacup at a loss and walked out of the cabin hesitantly.
Something doesn't seem right......
It was windy outside, and when it was blown by the wind, Zhang Jing's mind was still a little messy...... Before, he said that he wanted to meet the Qian family, and then Nie Bao suddenly asked if he was sure that he would kill the widow, and then he would send off the guest.
Walking down the official boat along the board, Zhang Jing greeted everyone who came forward to greet him, and asked Yu Dayou about his injury, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the young man not far behind the other party.
Yu Dayou hesitated to introduce Qian Yuan, but Zhang Jing's face suddenly changed, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and he turned around and strode away.
Looking at this scene from afar, Nie Bao, who was standing at the bow of the boat, sighed deeply, although he had been up and down for decades, Zhang Tingyi was still like this...... This is his strength and his greatest weakness.
"That's Zhang Tingyi, the governor of Zhejiang." The round-faced middle-aged man smiled cutely, "Don't take it to heart, he is a well-known straight temper in the court." ”
"Mei Cun Gong's words......" Qian Yuan smiled: "Straight temper...... Not a bad temper? ”
Zhao Wenhua called Meicun, and laughed when he heard this: "Interesting and interesting!" ”
Qian Yuan's words were hidden in the needle, and Zhang Jing was stunned when he saw me and you, Zhao Wenhua, a strict party cadre, standing together.
However, Zhao Wenhua has a good temper, and he does not have the appearance of being domineering in history at all.
Yu Dayou and Qian Yuan had just arrived at the dock to hand over the post, and before Nie Bao could summon them, Zhao Wenhua suddenly got off the boat in person and found Qian Yuan in full view.
The two talked and laughed happily, and they looked like they hated to see each other late, which surprised everyone, the reputation of the Yan Party was simply a stinky street in Jiangnan Shilin, but I didn't expect Qian Yuan to have such an attitude.
For Qian Yuan, Yan Dang is not a good thing, but Xu Jie, who killed Yan Dang, is not a good thing either.
What's more, as a traverser who pays a lot of attention to his own interests, Qian Yuan will never offend people for no reason, the other party has power, even if he doesn't want to climb this line, there is no need to offend the other party.
But for a scholar like Zhang Jing, who regards himself as a righteous gentleman, this is unbearable.
Seeing Zhao Wenhua, Yu Dayou, and Qian Yuan boarding the ship one after another, Nie Bao asked with a smile: "Why are you talking so much and laughing?" ”
Qian Yuan saluted decently and said softly: "In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, Meicun Gong compiled the "Jiaxing Mansion Atlas", and the younger generations benefited a lot. ”
Zhao Wenhua is by no means a person who does not learn and does not know how to learn, in fact, this person has learned well, and the compilation of "Jiaxing Mansion Atlas" was later included in the "Siku Quanshu" to be handed down to future generations.
Nie Bao nodded slightly, looked at Zhao Wenhua and Qian Yuan and laughed a few words before leaving.
Looking at the back of Zhang Jing who had already set off for Hangzhou from a distance, Nie Bao sighed in his heart, in terms of commanding operations, ten Zhao Wenhua are not Zhang Jing's opponents, but in terms of sensitivity to the Korean dispute, a hundred Zhang Jing is not as good as Zhao Wenhua.
Of course, Nie Bao, who is both civil and military, has such a sensitivity after decades of ups and downs in the Huan Sea.
Qian Yuan, who is only eighteen years old and a member of Huating, seems to be ordinary, but he has been involved in the court struggle, and he has been deeply involved in the anti-Japanese war before and possibly later.
He once gave advice to Wang Chen, the former governor of Zhejiang, and once curbed the rebellion in Jiaxing Mansion and Songjiang Mansion.
It is no coincidence that he once showed good abilities in Jiading and Chongde twice, and helped the Ming army defeat the Japanese twice.
These are just appearances that outsiders see.
Hidden under the water is Qian Yuan's connections.
Lu Shusheng's disciples, who were praised by Zhenchuan Gong and Wen Hengshan, had close contacts with Yuyao's Sun family, and these influences were only limited to Shilin.
However, in the two battles of Jiading and Chongde, Qian Yuan established a very deep connection with Yu Dayou and Lu Bo, the two most important generals of the Ming army.
And Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, is Qian Yuan's brother-in-law, and Taizhou Tongzhi Tang Shunzhi and Qian Yuan fought side by side in Chongde County.
As Yan Song's godson, Xia Jiangnan is here to take credit, Zhao Wenhua is keenly aware of this breakthrough, and there are too many characters that can be associated with this Qian family.
There was no doubt that Nie Bao was also aware of it, so he decided to summon Qian Yuan on the way south.
However, Zhang Jing, who has almost no political sense, did not notice this.
