Nanjing was called "Jinling", "Jianye", "Jiqing" in ancient times, it is not only the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, but also the fundamental place of the establishment of Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, so there is a Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty is located in Beijing, Nanjing has always been the core of the southern economy of the Ming Dynasty.

And because the economy of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty was extremely developed, the wealth gathered in Nanjing was like a river, and Nanjing has always maintained a complete set of replicas of the central ruling institutions of the Ming Dynasty, so it can be said that Nanjing is the political sub-center of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a well-deserved economic center.

Because of this, although the people of Nanjing may not be as rich as the people of Suzhou, the city of Nanjing is far better than Suzhou in terms of scale, pattern and prosperity.

And the scenery in the city of Suzhou, most of which are dominated by artificial buildings such as gardens, temples, and water gates, although they are chic and elegant, they inevitably seem a little stingy. In Nanjing, whether it is the Confucius Temple, Xuanwu Lake, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and other famous places are full of charm, just a Qinhuai River, is the place where all the flowers in the world are blooming, and the fire cooks oil.

However, Ji Qingwen and his entourage wanted to enjoy this prosperous scenery, but they couldn't, because they had a tall and wide Nanjing city wall in front of them.

It turned out that when their team of more than 1,000 people marched along the main road to Tongji Gate in the southeast of Nanjing, they were stopped by the officers and soldiers defending the city, and the reason was very simple: although Nanjing was not a Beijing division, it was also one of the capitals of the Ming Dynasty in terms of status.

Ji Qingwen wondered why every time he entered the city, he always encountered a lot of trouble.

So Ji Qingwen asked Li Yan and Li Yuanyin to come over to discuss countermeasures.

Li Yuanyin Jinyiwei has been in office for a long time, and he feels that it is a matter of course that soldiers and horses cannot enter Nanjing City, and others cannot enter the city, so Ji Qingwen cannot enter the city either.

But Li Yan has a different opinion: Ji Qingwen is not afraid of trouble this time and brought more than 1,000 people from the whole army to Nanjing, just to make a strong presence and shake his majesty in front of the new city secretary Shen Liangzuo, if these 1,000 people can't even enter the city, let alone be strong and majestic, they will directly become the laughing stock of others - therefore, today's Nanjing City must be entered.

Li Yan's words are in line with Ji Qingwen's temperament.

I saw Ji Qingwen deliberately jump into the carriage, and under Liu Ruye's service, he neatly changed into a five-grade official robe with wide robes and large sleeves that he rarely wears on weekdays, jumped out of the carriage again, and under the escort of a large number of people, he walked to the front of the team with a big grin, and shouted: "What's the matter?" Why don't you escort the silk into the city? I'm the one who owes you your military pay, so I'm lazy here? ”

At the moment, what stopped Ji Qingwen and his party was a small military attache wearing a six-grade uniform.

He is

is a military general, but his brain is not dull, listening to the meaning of Ji Qingwen's words, it seems that he is teaching his soldiers a lesson, but in fact, he is scolding himself for being nosy.

So the military general stepped forward and said: "This lord, it's not that the soldiers under your command are lazy, but that Nanjing is different from other places, and it is my Ming Dynasty who stayed in the capital, so all military affairs are in accordance with the rules of Beijing, and soldiers outside the city are not allowed to enter the city without permission." ”

Ji Qingwen listened to the general's speech in a clear manner, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, so he hurriedly put away his contempt and looked at his face and body.

I saw that this military general was in his early thirties, tall and tall, and he had to be more than 1.85 meters according to his height. I saw that he had a square face and a wide jaw, a pair of eyes that were bright, and the thick "one" beard on his lips set off a sculptural face more serious and deep.

The Ming Dynasty was also an era of face-seeking.

If you look crooked and cracked, no matter how good your knowledge is and how high your knowledge is, you will have to be deleted during the palace examination - after all, the official is the face of the Ming court, and if you look ugly, won't it smear the face of the court?

When Ji Qingwen saw the appearance of this general, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart, so he stepped forward and said, "I don't know what to call this military master?" ”

The Ming Dynasty used civil and military officials of the same grade to control the military, and the status of civil officials was much higher than that of military generals.

Therefore, when the military general heard the civil official in front of him call himself a "military master", he was so excited that he felt a little uncomfortable all over his body, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare." The last general, Yang Zhan......"

Ji Qingwen said: "It turned out to be General Yang. General Yang, I just heard someone say that this is Nanjing, and the troops outside cannot enter the city at will, is there such a thing? ”

Yang Zhan arched his hand and took a half-step forward and said, "Yes." That's exactly what the Admiral said. ”

So Yang Zhan introduced the rules of the Nanjing City garrison to Ji Qingwen again.

saw Ji Qingwen looking up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, I didn't expect Nanjing City to have such big rules." Not to mention staying in Nanjing, it is a serious Beijing division, and these brothers under my command are also correct! ”

Yang Zhan sighed in his heart: "This person speaks so loudly, Beijing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven and the first good area, let alone entering the city, there are people who gather at the gate of the city to make noise, and in a blink of an eye, there are people who patrol the city, guards, and people from the East Factory and the West Factory take him down on the spot." ”

But although he didn't think so, his appearance still quietly put on a respectful appearance, and he arched his hand and said: "My lord is so bold, I don't know what my lord's name is and what position I have?" ”

In fact, Yang Zhan has already seen it from the official uniform, Ji Qingwen's product

The rank is just a five-grade official, but the tone of his speech is no different from that of the military department, the left and right governors, and the cabinet scholars, so he deliberately asked knowingly, wanting to humiliate the five-grade official in front of him, who is not big, small, and does not slip away.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qingwen didn't answer himself, but he heard Li Yuanyin take a half step forward and introduced: "This adult's surname is Ji, and his name is Shangqing." It is the admiral of the Suzhou weaving yamen appointed by the emperor, and he is the minister of the Qin mission according to the rules. Please also pay attention to the general. ”

When Yang Zhan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Ji Qingwen?" You are Ji Qing...... Hime-sama? ”

Ji Qingwen was taken aback by his arrogant attitude, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, what's so great about Ji Qingwen?" What good can I do by impersonating him? How do you recognize me? ”

Yang Zhan smiled and arched his hand: "I know, I know, of course I know." The last general was a martial arts jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, who had been staying in the military department as an assistant before, and was transferred to Nanjing after the Beijing War. The lord magically conjured a trench in Zuo'anmen and severely damaged the Manchurian Tatar enemy chieftains, such a heroic posture will be seen with his own eyes, and he is really admired. ”

Yang Zhan's words came from the heart, and they naturally sounded much more comfortable than deliberately fabricated flattery.

So Ji Qingwen smiled again: "I'm ashamed, I'm just lucky." Oh yes. Since General Yang is a martial artist in the first year of Chongzhen, I don't know if he knows a person named Wu Sangui? ”

Yang Zhan was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that Lord Fei Ji also knows Wu Sangui?" He's my ......."

Ji Qingwen nodded with a smile and said, "Speaking of Wu Sangui, in fact, we are still friends of life and death!" ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen told Yang Zhan in detail about his rescue of Wu Sangui from tens of thousands of Manchurian pursuers in the midst of ten thousand troops.

Yang Zhan listened to this, and said with emotion: "Don't hide it from the adults, in the first year of Chongzhen's martial arts, all the achievements were originally among the best in the last general. It's just that the last general is from a flat-headed common people, and in the eyes of the examiner, he is naturally not as important as the children of military generals who have hereditary skills behind him. In this way, I was squeezed into the second class by being a dignified martial artist. The last general was angry, so he didn't accept this fame, so he simply stayed in the capital, visited famous teachers, and wanted to spend another three years studying martial arts and retaking the Jinshi exam. I didn't expect the Manchurian Tartars to enter the Kou, how could the husband lag behind? The last general signed up for the army, made a little contribution to the rice, and was sent to Nanjing to be such a gatekeeper......"

Ji Qingwen sighed: "This is also a chronic disease of the Ming Dynasty...... But now is an eventful time, and the imperial court is the time to employ people. Those military generals with grace and shade are also in the peaceful years, and when it comes to critical moments, they still have to rely on real swords and real guns. General Yang is full of real talent and learning, and he will definitely have a bright future, so why envy others? ”
