Chapter 122: Qi Jiguang

This was a meal that amazed Qi Jiguang and Wang, and the most surprising thing for them was that Qian Yuan cooked it himself.

Going to Hangzhou alone to avenge his father and brother, and cooking in person to make fun of his widow's mother, this kind of joke that can greatly enhance Qian Yuan's reputation has been widely spread in Suzhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang, and Hangzhou.

The servants removed the dinner, the maids held pineapple tea, and everyone sat down in the side room, before Qian Yuan got down to business.

"Before, the younger brother was not thoughtful, and this time my mother and uncle temporarily moved to Hangzhou." Qian Yuan looked at Qi Jiguang, "I also hope that my sister can move into the food garden." ”

"This is not good...... Qi Jiguang gritted his teeth and said: "Huating Qian's scholarly family, all of them are high-ranking families, and the insiders are only afraid of colliding with ......."

"That's my Qian Zhancai's sister, Brother Yuan Jing doesn't have to worry." Qian Yuan interrupted, "I didn't want to mention this matter...... Last year, I went to Hangzhou alone, although my wish came true...... But it also made a lot of enemies. ”

Qian Yuan's face was cold, and he said slowly: "I will move to Hangzhou, but I will leave for Songjiang, and there is no time to clone hundreds of miles away, so I hope my sister can protect the female relatives at home." ”

Qi Jiguang blurted out, "You still want to go back to Songjiang!?" ”

The side room was quiet, Lu's face was expressionless, and Tan and Xiaomei hung their heads and said nothing.

A moment later, Wang's calm voice rang out.

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, if there is any mistake, come and see you."

After saying this, Wang turned his head to look at Qi Jiguang, who hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly...... Well, he knows this woman too well, and if he doesn't agree, he won't have any good fruit to eat.

Obviously, this Songjiang Xiucai went to the dangerous place alone, just asking to take care of the female relatives at home, and such a request would not be refused by normal people.

Qi Jiguang looked at Qian Yuan with a new gaze, although he was not valued by Zhang Jing, the governor of Zhejiang, but he was also very aware of the current anti-Japanese situation, and Songjiang was likely to be the key area for the invasion of the Japanese in the next period of time.

It doesn't seem to be as lazy and irresponsible as Zhang Juzheng's letter says...... Qi Jiguang was a little ashamed, he refused to stay in the food garden before, largely because he heard that Qian Yuan and Zhao Wenhua were friends.

If he really made friends with Zhao Wenhua, it would never be possible or necessary to go to Songjiang again, Qi Jiguang got up and arched his hand, "As the clumsy wife said, if there is a loss, come to see you." ”

At this moment, Qi Jiguang finally accepted this Songjiang talent from his heart.

Tan Shi looked at this scene in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Yuan'er, can the Japanese invade Hangzhou?" ”

Qian Yuan smiled: "How is it possible...... Just ask my sister to talk to my mother, don't be stingy, I also took out a few good things at the bottom of the box, and my little sister's dowry is still me, isn't it? ”

After laughing a few words, Qian Yuan asked the little sister to help Tan to the backyard, and then sat down and said carefully: "I don't know if my brother-in-law has heard of Zhang Siwei?" ”

Qi Jiguang's eyes flickered, "I've heard of it, I ...... last year"

"Well, although it's just a small handful, it's ...... to collude with maritime merchants," Qian Yuan said softly: "Back then, Xie Yuyao's descendants were almost wiped out. ”

"Wako?" Lu couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Siwei has died violently, where will the Japanese find you?" ”

"Not necessarily." Qian Yuan explained softly: "Zhang Siwei's house was raided, and some of his property was not his own, it was likely that the maritime merchants at that time deposited or traded goods, although it did not fall into the hands of his nephew, but he was afraid of ......"

"The government is only three miles away from here, and the governor's yamen and the governor's yamen are not far away, so there will be no accidents." Qi Jiguang said lightly: "There is a clumsy wife, plus a second brother, and there are a few guards, and there is no mistake." ”

Qian Yuan nodded, in fact, it was not very likely that those would-be would-be wouldn't come to find trouble, and it was even more impossible to avenge Zhang Siwei, what he was worried about was another thing.

"Sugarwashing?" The Lu family looked at Qian Yuan suspiciously, "Didn't you cooperate with the Taicang Wang family?" ”

"What about the Taicang royal family?" Qian Yuan shook his head, "It's hard to say that it's such a heavy treasure...... As early as last year, there were many high-ranking families in Hangzhou who came to inquire about this matter, but at that time, Wang Min, the governor of Zhejiang, should be in the way, which is why I found the Taicang Wang's family. ”

In Qian Yuan's plan, there are three places to relocate, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Huizhou.

It's a pity that Suzhou really can't put people at ease, although Huizhou is a little safer, but my uncle refuses to go, and the climate there is not much different from the coast, and the sister-in-law Huang is still recuperating.

After all, Hangzhou is the safest, although there may be people looking for trouble, but the governor's yamen and the governor's yamen are here, and they will not be lost no matter what.

After explaining it carefully, seeing that it was getting late, Qian Yuan simply asked Qi Jiguang and his wife to stay overnight, and they would move over tomorrow anyway.

Qian Yuan is a night owl, although he was restrained by Lu Shusheng before, but recently he has returned to his previous habits, and his spirits are getting better and better at night.

"Nothing to do, really." Qi Jiguang said with a gloomy face.

Although Qi Jiguang was called a famous general by later generations, he was still young at this time, and although the governor's yamen did not ignore him, it was impossible for him to be alone.

Qi Jiguang can only practice the soldiers in the barracks every day, and his body trembles with anger every day......

"Idle eggs hurt?" Qian Yuan saw the Lu family and the Wang family go out, and then smiled: "It seems that Zhang Tingyi doesn't value you very much...... It's also a shame that Uncle and Brother are anxious to recommend you to Zhejiang. ”

Qi Jiguang, who was depressed, sighed, "Uncle mentioned in the letter, you also wrote a letter to mention me?" ”

"Hmm." Qian Yuan said casually: "A guard went to Shandong before, and I heard of your Qi Yuanjing's name...... I heard my sister say that the training didn't go well? ”

"It's not going well." Qi Jiguang said expressionlessly: "I thought Zhejiang was rich, but I didn't expect it to be as good as Shandong!" ”

"The food and wages that were sent down were all folded, and I couldn't eat enough at all, and some of the grain was moldy!"

"There is a huge shortage of soldiers, and after a few months of painstaking efforts to rectify it, it can barely make up for fifty percent."

"Most of the ordnance in the battalion is dilapidated, and at least thirty percent of it is useless."

Qi Jiguang turned his head to look at Qian Yuan, he knew that the other party had a wide range of contacts, "I thought that the governor would be able to improve when he took office, but ......"

"Don't look at me." Qian Yuan waved his hand and said, "Zhang Tingyi looks at me very unpleasantly. ”

Qi Jiguang hung his head in frustration.

Qian Yuan softly asked the question he was most concerned about, "It is said that the DPRK has issued a recruitment order?" ”

"Well, but there is dissent from the Governor's Yamen." Qi Jiguang shook his head, "And the governor Yamen also said it...... No silver. ”

Qian Yuan was puzzled, "It's better to say without silver...... Why Zhang Tingyi? ”

Qi Jiguang explained: "The Governor pins his hopes on the guest soldiers to settle the battle in ......"

Qian Yuan's sneer interrupted Qi Jiguang's explanation, "How unwise! ”

Qi Jiguang watched in surprise as Qian Yuan got up and paced back and forth.

"Zhang Tingyi mobilized troops from all over the country, but can there be a navy?"

"It doesn't seem to be."

"That's it, how can a war be decided?" Qian Yuan sneered and said: "Chongming County was destroyed, Liujiaxiang fell, the Japanese came and went freely, and there are still Japanese criminals on Zhoushan." ”

"It is impossible for guest soldiers to stay on the coast for a long time, and if you want to pacify the Japanese, you have to rely on recruiting local recruits."

"And the guest soldiers came from afar, and the cost was quite a lot, and the money was more than enough to recruit troops locally."

Qi Jiguang listened calmly for a long time before he said: "Even so, it will not be my turn to be a guerrilla. ”

Many thoughts flashed in his mind, and Qian Yuan began to consider whether to contact Hu Zongxian, the prefect of Hangzhou is not very high in Zhejiang today, but it accounts for a large proportion of wealth.
