Chapter 254: Taizhou (I)

From Qian Zheng and Qian Yuan's uncle and nephew, Gao Gong began to officially expand his strength, eager to try, Yan Song and Xu Jie are old, Gao Gong knows that as long as King Yu ascends the throne, he is likely to leap forward.

Qian Yuan, who was brought into the pit by Qian Zheng, didn't know what was ahead, but at least he knew that in the long run, the result would not be worse.

A lot happened on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, and in a way, history took a different path from here.

The description of both civil and military is relatively common in this era, but it is difficult to be recognized, and one of the main reasons for this is the civil and military journey.

Qian Yuan, a person who can be praised for both civil and military affairs, but Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, who can write poems with literati, cannot, although their poetry level is higher than Qian Yuan...... Of course, this is on the premise that Qian Yuan does not cheat.

The reason is obvious, Qian Yuan belongs to the civil official system, and Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang belong to the military general system.

From this point of view, in the past two years, there have been several outstanding people in the southeast war, in addition to Qian Yuan, Cao Bangfu, Dong Bangzheng, and Wang Chonggu are all outstanding.

But there is one person who must be in front of them, although his official rank may not be as high as theirs, and this person is Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou.

Since the 30th year of Jiajing, Taizhou has been the most severely infested area by the Japanese invaders, who came and went almost freely, and this situation lasted until Tan Lun was transferred to the prefect of Taizhou.

Tan Lun, Jiajing 23 years jinshi, the second year as the director of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, four years later transferred to the Ministry of War staff Fang Langzhong, Jiajing 32 years to take over the Taizhou mess.

So far, three years have passed, from the fact that the Japanese invaders come and go freely, to the fact that the Japanese invaders do not dare to go ashore without mobilizing troops, Tan Lun has made great contributions, and this deterrent power is what he has gained by dragging his knife naked and rushing into battle.

What Shilin appreciated the most was that Tan Lun had trained an army with a small number of people, extraordinary combat power, and strict discipline.

When fighting against each other, they often threw money, silver, and beautiful women on the ground, causing officers and soldiers to rob them, and then break the enemy with one sentence.

But this trick is useless in Taizhou.

Moreover, Tan Lun once counted in a battle, the officers and soldiers robbed the finances, and he led his own soldiers to bypass the Japanese invaders, burned 30 ships, and finally defeated 800 Japanese invaders and beheaded 300, which was the second largest victory in Shaoxing last year.

Nowadays, this sentence is circulated among the Japanese people, "Songjiang money, Taizhou Tan, snake mouth, tail back needle." ”

What is surprising is that Tan Lun was murderous when he went into battle, holding a knife and a gun, taking the lead, and he was once dressed in six wounds and could not get out of the city, but at other times, he was polite and polite, talked about poetry and papers, loved opera, and even filled in the lyrics himself.

There was a babbling tune on the stage, and Tan Lun shouted, "Okay! ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Tan Lun personally invited the most famous opera troupe in Zhejiang, which was known as a beautiful name and enjoyed with the people.

Tang Shunzhi on the side had a look of concern, he knew that this colleague was very fascinated by everything, going into battle to kill the enemy, training troops in person, and watching the play.

Tan Lun also sang two sentences in a low voice, and said with a smile: "Zhejiang Haiyan cavity is quite toneful, and it is similar to the Yiyang cavity of Gandi. ”

Tang Shunzhi's face was even more ugly, if he hadn't said that he had something important to discuss in detail tonight, he really wanted to leave.

In fact, later Tan Lun brought the Haiyan cavity back to his hometown Yihuang in Jiangxi, and fused with the Yiyang cavity to form a new singing cavity, which was later called "Yihuang cavity".

"Huh?" Tang Shunzhi caught a glimpse of someone coming on horseback on the periphery, and said in a low voice, "Qi Yuanjing is here." ”

In response to Tang Shunzhi, he shouted, "Okay! ”

Tan Lun, who was forcefully pulled on his sleeves, finally came to his senses, walked out with a dry smile, said hello to the people around him from time to time, walked all the way into the mansion, and couldn't help but look back at the stage at the door.

"It's been sent to the backyard." Qi Jiguang said in a low voice that he was about to retreat.

Tan Lun pulled Qi Jiguang along, "You don't have to shy away from this matter, you still need Yuan Jing to pass on the news in the future." ”

"Yes, I went to the barracks the day before yesterday, and Yuan Jing trained a good soldier." Tang Shunzhi tilted his head and glanced at Tan Lun, "It's stronger than the Taizhou soldiers." ”

Although he has only been in office for more than half a month, Qi Jiguang led more than 1,000 Yiwu soldiers to strangle two small groups of Japanese soldiers in a row, annihilating the enemy army without a single casualty, and this matter has been spread all over Taizhou Prefecture.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Tan Lun smiled and led into the study, pouring four cups of tea, "Yuan Jing, bring someone here." ”

Looking at the back of Qi Jiguang leaving, Tang Shunzhi took a sip of tea and said casually: "Speaking of which, in the past few years, Taizhou, Shaoxing, Yanzhou, and Jinhua have recruited new troops, but the Yiwu soldiers trained by Yuan Jing are indeed first-class strong soldiers, and they are comparable to the Qian family's guards. ”

Tan Lun snorted and didn't speak.

"No wonder." Tang Shunzhi continued: "I heard Yuan Jing say that last year he and Zhancai spent Chinese New Year's Eve together in Hangzhou Food Garden, Zhancai lent out the head of the guard and dozens of guards, and wrote a letter to Wu Weixi, the governor of Zhejiang, so that Yuan Jing could train such a strong soldier in Yiwu. ”

Seeing that Tan Lun was still silent, Tang Shunzhi couldn't help but smile and said: "Speaking of Zhancai's vision, Yuan Jing was just a guerrilla general that day, and he didn't have much military achievements, but he strongly recommended him to go to Yiwu to recruit troops and train the army." ”

Tan Lun finally couldn't help it, "Last year, the Japanese invaded Hangzhou, and Qi Yuanjing captured 400 ......"

Tan Lun stopped talking halfway through, in the Battle of Linpingshan last year, the first credit was Hu Zongxian, who led the attack, followed by Qi Jiguang, the general who led the troops, but in fact, everyone in Zhejiang knows whose credit it is.

After a pause, Tan Lun said again: "The strong army in Taizhou is not only the Yiwu soldiers, but the state soldiers led by the guerrilla general Lu Bin are also considered strong troops. ”

"That's true." Tang Shunzhi nodded, "Lu Bin and Zhancai are friends of life and death, Jiading and Chongde fought side by side, Zhancai presided over the overall situation, and Lu Bin charged into battle...... By the way, Lu Bin was training in Chuzhou, and he also borrowed people from Zhancai. ”

Tan Lun just wants to flip the table now!

You can lend it to Qi Jiguang, you can lend it to Lu Bin, why didn't you think of your uncle?

They are still training in the rear, and your uncle and I are fighting bloody battles on the front line!

For this nephew who only met once ten years ago, Tan Lun ...... in his heart It's complicated.

I have just taken office as the prefect of Taizhou, Ligang was destroyed, and there were Japanese bandits, and Taizhou, which was the hardest-hit area of the Japanese invaders, was like a little girl naked in the cold wind, shivering!

also counted on the governor Yamen to send troops to help, but Lu Bo and Yu Dayou led troops north...... At that time, after it was rumored that it was his nephew's idea, Tan Lun really wanted to carry a knife to Qian Yuan to catch up with the past.

How did my sister raise such a thing!

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, Qian Yuan's reputation rose, and Tan Lun was a little comforted to forget about the past, but soon he found that the name Qian Yuan couldn't get around by himself.

Take a look around, Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, Lu Bin, Yu Dayou and Lu Bo who are a little farther away, as well as Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang who came to Taizhou to inspect more than ten days ago, and even Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, who came to Taizhou a month ago, each of them is a close friend of his nephew, and each of them praises his nephew.

The study was silent, Tan Lun kept his face silent, the good mood of watching the play just now was gone, Tang Shunzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and slowly tasted tea.

The knock on the door shattered the peace, and Qi Jiguang walked in first, letting go of a burly middle-aged man behind him.

This person was wearing a hat on his head and dressed in black, and he walked with a calm aura that people did not dare to despise.

"Long time no see." The visitor took off the hat, revealing a swarthy face with Chinese characters.

Tan Lun took a few steps closely, arched his hands, but couldn't help but hug the visitor, "Second brother......"

Tang Shunzhi and Qi Jiguang on the side were a little dumbfounded, the former only knew the general idea of tonight's secret conversation, but he didn't know that the person who came was Tan Lun's second brother.

The latter went to the beach to answer in person and closely monitored, and he easily judged from the details such as skin color that the person was likely to be a widow, at least a maritime merchant, but he didn't expect it to be Tan Lun's brother.
