Chapter 91: Refusal
Like most generals in this era, Yu Dayou was also born in the military.
But most of the famous generals in this era were from extraordinary backgrounds, at least the ancestors gave a high starting point, such as Qi Jiguang, who was the hereditary commander of Dengzhou Wei, Lu Bo, who was hereditary of thousands of households in Zhouwei, and Li Chengliang, who later commanded the affairs of Tielingwei.
Compared with them, the starting point of Yu Dayou, who is only hereditary Quanzhou Wei Baihu, is relatively low.
Therefore, Qi Jiguang was appointed as the commander of Dengzhou Wei before he was an adult, Lu Bo was appointed as the commander of Fujian Town, and Yu Dayou was not regarded as a martial artist, but the road to the deputy general army of Zhejiang was extremely bumpy and grinding.
But this experience has also trained Yu Dayou's will to be unfazed and extremely tenacious.
At the door of the room, Qian Yuan leaned against the wall and quietly listened to the noise in the room, it seemed that the general soldier Yu had not spoken, and could only hear the quarrel between the messenger who had just arrived and the pro-soldiers.
It became more and more intense, the insults were endless, and Qian Yuan occasionally heard a few barbaric words that he didn't understand.
"That's the guard that Shisuke collected when he put down the Enping rebellion." Li Liangqin explained in a low voice: "Zhifu killed the local thief leader, and he was kind to him, and he has been guarding the side since then, never leaving the side. ”
Lu Bin on the side scolded a few swear words in a low voice, this is natural, on this issue, he must be on Yu Dayou's side.
A quarter of an hour ago, Yu Dayou had just woken up, and Li Liangqin had just gone in to report a few words, when the messenger sent by the governor's yamen happened to arrive.
The Japanese invaders who attacked Yuhang have retreated, but Jiaxing Mansion has been eroded, Tongxiang is in danger, the Jiaxing section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been cut off, and at least five towns have been looted by the Japanese invaders, three of which were slaughtered, and Nanzhili and Zhejiang were shaken.
Although he knew the news of Yu Dayou's defeat, Tu Dashan couldn't help but ask Yu Dayou to gather his soldiers to relieve the siege of Tongxiang.
In Lu Bin's opinion, those literati are all like birds, they don't treat generals as people, and General Yu is injured and bedridden, do you still want people to die?
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Qian Yuan was really impatient, not that he didn't have the patience to wait, but there were a lot of things outside, and the ghost knew if the would-be wouldn't appear outside the city in the next moment, and what kind of lawsuit would he fight at this time.
"Squeak."
Hearing the door being pushed open, Yu Dayou turned his head and saw an indifferent young man walking in, with Li Liangqin and Lu Bin standing behind him.
"Money...... Qian ......" The messenger was stunned, he had been in the governor's yamen for more than two years, and naturally knew Qian Yuan, who often appeared in the governor's yamen last year.
As if he hadn't heard it, Qian Yuan took a few steps to the side of the bed, took the letter and looked at it a few times, and at the same time looked out, "Go out." ”
The room, which had been noisy a moment ago, fell silent, and the messenger's eyes rolled around, undecided.
Qian Yuan casually handed the letter back and turned his head to glance, "The distance from Chongde to Tongxiang is not too far, but it is not close, once you meet the Japanese ...... on the road."
"It's all a matter of course." The courier dodged his eyes.
"That's right." Qian Yuan agreed, turned his head to look at Lu Bin, "Give this ...... It seems to be the surname Fang...... Arrange a horse and let him run first. ”
The messenger didn't know what to say with his mouth open, as a subordinate of the governor's yamen, he naturally knew what kind of turmoil this Songjiang Xiucai stirred up in Hangzhou City last year.
Lu Bin nodded expressionlessly, and Li Liangqin beside him couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth to reveal an ugly smile.
After thinking about it in his heart, Qian Yuan looked up at the helpless messenger after a while, "Huh? ”
The messenger immediately went out in disgrace, ignoring the fact that the soldiers behind him added fuel and cursed a few more swear words.
"Mr. Yu." Qian Yuan turned around and saluted.
"This is ......" Lu Bin was about to introduce, but Yu Dayou had already waved his hand to interrupt, "This is naturally the Qian family hero who won the praise of Zhenchuan Gong in the first battle of Jiading, thank you this time." ”
"It's just a little thing." Qian Yuan shook his head, "That one is just sick and rushed to the doctor, as long as General Yu is still there and the banner is not down, the Japanese will not dare to be unscrupulous." ”
"But will Lord Zhongcheng in the future?" Li Liangqin was worried on the sidelines.
"No, it won't." Qian Yuan replied simply: "Yuhang has been invaded, Jiaxing Mansion is erosive, Tu Dashan is duty-bound, and it is unlikely that he can save his life and be exiled to Biansai." ”
Yu Dayou, who was helped by his own soldiers to drink the medicine, frowned and swallowed the bitter medicinal juice, and sighed: "This defeat ...... the army."
"When there is a day of resurgence, even the court will only make the adults guilty and meritorious." Qian Yuan immediately said, "Is that right?" ”
Yu Dayou glanced at it, and the young man in front of him looked calm and confident.
His family knows his own affairs, and the responsibility for the defeat is largely due to the governor Yamen, as long as he does not bring injuries to Tongxiang, the biggest black pot can only be Tu Dashan to back.
But Yu Dayou wondered, why was Qian Yuan so sure that he would not go to prison and would be able to recover soon?
After a few vague words, Yu Dayou was already groggy and barely supported: "Chongde County...... I'll leave it to the two of you for the next few days. ”
Although Yu Dayou had fallen asleep, and there were seven or eight people in the house, along with his own soldiers, everyone knew who he was referring to.
Glancing at Lu Bin and Qian Yuan with complicated eyes, Li Liangqin bowed his hand, "Please, two." ”
"It's a matter of duty." Lu Bin told the soldiers and the doctor who entered the house to take care of Yu Dayou, pulled Qian Yuan out of the house, and asked in a low voice: "Why did General Yu recover?" ”
"What about the defeat of the war these years?" Qian Yuan snorted, "As long as there is a backer in the court, you can turn big things into small things." ”
"Backer?"
"Well, people are very strong in the court."
Lu Bin hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”
"Anyway, it's a big deal, why are you asking so much...... Want to climb up? ”
"Ahem." A violent cough came from behind.
"Uh...... Mr. Lee. Lu Bin turned around and nodded embarrassedly.
Compared with Lu Bin, who was at a loss, Qian Yuan was much calmer, and opened the topic with a smile, "Mr. Li, have you counted everything?" ”
"Well, there are still ninety-seven people who can still get up, and the reward has been received, and the morale is a little uplifted." Li Liangqin didn't raise his eyelids, and said in a muffled voice: "Most of the weapons are still there, even the bows and arrows are lost." ”
"It's all handed over to Lu Bin, a total of about 400 soldiers, plus about 700 hired villagers." Qian Yuan estimated in his heart and asked tentatively: "It shouldn't be a big problem to defend the city, right?" ”
"Well, the Japanese have never been very fond of attacking cities, but the walls of Chongde County are low......" Lu Bin hesitated, "and there are one or two in total." ”
"You are responsible, listen to the opinions of the leaders of the pro-soldiers around General Yu...... It seems to be surnamed Zhou? Qian Yuan nodded, "I'll lend Wang Yi to you in addition." ”
"Well, he's a battle-hardened veteran." Lu Bin let out a sigh and strode away.
Li Liangqin looked back at Yu Dayou's house where he was resting, and then turned his head and said in a low voice: "Actually, Zhifu ......"
"It's a good thing to have a backer, isn't it a shameful thing?" Qian Yuan shrugged, "In addition to the border army, can you still find a general who is side by side with General Yu in the Ming Mainland?" ”
"What do you mean......"
"Rest assured."
Glancing at Li Liangqin, who had a stiff face, Qian Yuan walked towards the county office, and there were still many things to be busy with in the future.
As a time-traveler who is very familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, he has been carefully searching for those clues in the past few years, and Qian Yuan's sensitivity to information and inductive ability are beyond this era.
