Although he resigned and returned to his hometown, Sun Chengen's identity still made the literati of Jiading City flock to him, for the simple reason that Sun Chengen had been in charge of Zhan Shifu for a long time.

The Ming Dynasty did not have the Tang and Song dynasties "do not go through the place and do not enter the center" rule, on the contrary, the new science and technology scholars were proud to enter the Hanlin Academy as the "prime minister", and they were eager not to leave Beijing for the rest of their lives.

But there are many people in the Hanlin Academy who can't show their ambitions until they are old, and Zhan Shifu is a shortcut for them to embark on the Qingyun Road.

At that time, Xu Jie once served as a horse washing post in the Department of Economic Affairs under the Zhan Mansion, and then quickly transferred to the Guozi Priest Wine, and was promoted to the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the right waiter of the Ministry of Officials, and smoothly entered the center.

Sun Chengen has been in charge of Zhan Shifu for many years, and his connections in this area are very tight.

But Mr. Sun turned down almost all of them's posts and invited only one, even though they had just met earlier this year.

This man is the one who has the light.

Gui Youguang, a native of Kunshan, the word Xifu, the number Zhenchuan, the scholarly family, the early family was defeated, and after winning the Xiucai, he failed in the township test for five consecutive times, and was not lifted until the nineteenth year of Jiajing, and then he was named Sun Mountain for three consecutive trials.

In fact, Gui Youguang is a well-known "loser" in history, he failed in the township test five times in his life, failed in the examination eight times, and won the top three jinshi in the ninth examination.

At the beginning of this year, Gui Youguang fell off the list again, and moved to Jiading after returning to his hometown, while continuing to study hard while starting a career of preaching and lecturing.

Therefore, although he has not yet been a Jinshi, Gui Youguang is extremely famous in Jiangnan and is known as the great Confucian of the world, and even Sun Chengen does not call him by his name but "Mr. Zhenchuan".

When he was young, his family fell in the middle of the road, and he failed in five township tests and three meeting tests, but he thought that his talent was not weaker than others, which led to Gui Youguang having an arrogance that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and it may not be revealed to characters like Sun Chengen, but not necessarily to others.

So, Qian Yuan, who came to thank Sun Chengen, looked at this old man inexplicably, why did Lao Tzu provoke you!

"This is Mr. Zhenchuan." Sun Chengen frowned and introduced: "Brother Yuan must not be rude. ”

Gui Youguang flicked his sleeve robe, "The old man is just an old talent who has failed the list five times, where is the money boy to salute." ”

The young man behind Gui Youguang stared at Qian Yuan with raised eyebrows, "It's really forgetful, just this memory dares to pat his chest and say that the middle lift is like probing the bag!" ”

Qian Yuan finally turned over this memory from the depths of his mind...... It's still the fault of the predecessor of the cheap, before going to Nanjing Township Test last year, a classmate proposed to visit Gui Youguang, and the predecessor was very disdainful of ridiculing his experience of failing the township test five times.

What a headache!

This is not Matsue, who knows how many such things will happen in the future!

Qian Yuan laughed a few times, and was about to say something about the scene, when suddenly there was a noisy noise outside.

Hu Xianling hurriedly entered the door with a letter in his hand, and even trotted all the way with the hem of his shirt in his hand, "It's not good, it's not good!" ”

Sun Chengen's brows furrowed even tighter, every time there is a big event, there is calm, what does this look like!

"The Woko are coming, the Wako are coming!" Sweating profusely, Hu Xianling was out of breath.

Sun Chengen Huo Ran got up, snatched the letter, and after a while, he stiffened and sat back.

The young man behind Gui Youguang picked up the letter from the ground and glanced at it a few times, but his expression changed greatly, "Didn't you say that it was just a small group of widows?" Lord Zhang was wiped out! ”

Qian Yuan's face changed unpredictably, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "County Zun, the Japanese have already besieged the city?" ”

"Not yet." Hu Xianling wiped the cold sweat on his head, "But Jiading has no soldiers......"

"How come there are no soldiers?" Gui Youguang frowned and asked: "Taicang Wei has three thousand households!" ”

"Wei ......" Hu Xianling helplessly explained: "Now the whole country is the same, and the border army is slightly better, and the shortage is very tight, and all the soldiers who can be brought out this time have been brought out by Master Zhang." ”

Qian Yuan sighed, leaned over and glanced at the letter a few times, then turned his head and asked, "How many soldiers did that Master Zhang bring?" ”

"Uh......" Hu Xianling said hesitantly, "three or four hundred." ”

A total of three or four hundred soldiers were dispatched from the three thousand households, which is really enough, you must know that it is not the time when the Ming army will prevail in the later Ming army.

Sun Chengen's side was already in turmoil, holding his chest and not having any ideas, but Sun Kehong forcibly calmed down, "County Zun, has Zhenhaiwei notified you?" ”

"Someone has been sent." Hu Xianling smiled bitterly: "But it's hard to say, Zhenhaiwei's situation is no better than Taicangwei." ”

Sun Kehong has nothing to say, now that the situation is here, the Japanese may attack at any time, and Jiading City is naked......

Just felt that his thighs were trembling a little, and suddenly stretched out a hand on his side to support Sun Kehong, Qian Yuan asked in a low voice, "What is that Lord Zhang?" ”

After listening to Sun Kehong's explanation, Qian Yuan finally figured out that although Taicang Zhou was established in the tenth year of Hongzhi, Taicang Wei and Zhenhaiwei had been established in the early Ming Dynasty, and later set up a deputy envoy for military preparation in Zhengde during the Zhengde period due to the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

The quiet needles in the hall can be heard, Qian Yuan is really impatient to wait for a while, what a group of waste snacks, no matter what you do, it is better than now, even if you run, you can run a few more steps!

"The war is together, abandoning the city will die, the county should not want to escape, right?" Qian Yuan walked out from behind Sun Kehong and pointed to Lu Bin, who was standing by the door and was eager to try, "The county seat of Jiading is not big, and it is not impossible for the county government to catch fast and white labor plus the people in the city to defend the county, and the son of Lord Lu, the general of western Zhejiang, is in the city with elite soldiers. ”

"In addition, if there are any people in the city who are good at military affairs, the county may wish to invite them together." Qian Yuan didn't look at Hu Xianling's face, beckoned to Lu Bin, and said in a low voice: "Two things, immediately send someone to deliver a letter to Lord Lu, and send someone out of the city to inquire about the news." ”

"It's just a small group of would-be robbers, and it's not a big problem to defend the city, so there's no need to report to my father." Lu Bin's face was proud.

"Can wipe out the entire army of the deputy envoy of the military reserve road with four hundred soldiers, this group of Japanese robbers is either extraordinary in combat power, or there are not a few in number." Qian Yuan said in a low voice with a gloomy face: "Lord Lu is now guarding Jiaxing Mansion, how did this gang of robbers come from?" If you were going north from Jiaxing Mansion, your father would have reported it a long time ago. ”

"Maybe it's from Matsue Prefecture......

"Yu Dayou is guarding it, Chuansha is fighting over there, even if it is from there, how can Yu Dayou not report it." Qian Yuan sighed: "It won't be from Tongzhou, across the Yangtze River!" ”

"By the way, there's one more thing." Qian Yuan whispered a few words in Lu Bin's ear.

Watching Hu Xianling and Lu Bin leave in a hurry, Qian Yuan sighed, no matter what, if you escape this catastrophe, you must move to Hangzhou, if you can't do it, you can go to Huizhou Mansion, or even go to Jiangxi, your mother's mother's home.

At this time, the young man behind Gui Youguang muttered: "The Japanese may not attack Jiading......

Gui Youguang's temper is not very good, his disciple has the same example, this young man's name is Shen Xingping, he has been worshiping under Gui Youguang for more than ten years, his ability is not big but his temper is not small, if Qian Yuan was not beaten down by Xu Fan last year, he would have gone to Huating County to find trouble with Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan snorted, "It's a good thing for you that the Japanese don't attack Jiading." ”

"But for others, it's a good thing that the Japanese invaded Jiading."

Shen Xingping raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, when suddenly a voice came from outside the door.

"That's right!"
