Liu Ru covered her mouth again and smiled: "My husband can be regarded as opening a dock in Songjiang Mansion." Even Mr. Dong Qichang didn't know...... His old man is a native of Songjiang Huating, and he also lives in Songjiang after becoming an official, so he can be said to be his husband's neighbor! ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he smiled and said, "Then this matter will be easy to handle." It seems that Dong Qichang is now a fellow villager of Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I am friends with Lord Xu, with this relationship, let alone mentioning the title of the book, it is probably not difficult to write a preface for you. ”

When Liu Ru heard this, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he said: "Mr. Dong Qichang's literary name is much higher than that of Mr. Qian, and he is still a person who has been the teacher of the former emperor, if he is willing to write a preface to my poetry collection, it will really be ...... Don't fool me, husband! ”

Ji Qingwen looked at her smiling appearance, and the slightest suspicion and jealousy of Liu Ruye was instantly forgotten by him.

So Ji Qingwen cheekily hugged Liu Ru in his arms, and asked: "Then I have to ask again, I help you do things like this, how do you repay me?" Under Liu Ruye's half-push and half-push, a good thing was achieved.

The next day, because there were still many important things to do, Ji Qingwen left from the "Jade Courtyard" early, called Li Yan and Li Yuanyin, and called two hundred soldiers into the city, escorted three hundred silk satins, and made a special trip to the Yanziji Wharf in the north of Nanjing City, where the tribute silk was handed over to the Yamen, the governor of the river, and transferred it to the Beijing Division.

After finishing this inconsequential matter, Ji Qingwen will be able to go to the important and unserious matter - to meet the new city secretary Shen Liangzuo.

Because the city is a newly established institution under the personal decree of Emperor Chongzhen, and it is directly subordinate to the inner court priest in terms of institutional jurisdiction, Shen Liangzuo has no subordinate relationship with any official or any yamen in Nanjing, so he neither lives in the post station, nor does he stay in the Nanjing garrison eunuch line, but lives in the Jiming Temple.

Nanjing Jiming Temple is an ancient temple, and is a famous spot again, across the Nanjing city wall is opposite to Xuanwu Lake, on the other side is the lively Xuanwu Gate, Drum Tower, Xinjiekou and other places, it is worthy of a good place to be quiet in the middle of noisy.

When Ji Qingwen, accompanied by Li Yan and Li Yuanyin, came to the mountain gate of Jiming Temple, he saw that Jiming Temple was guarded by officers and soldiers inside and outside, and listened to the accent, these officers and soldiers should have come from Beijing.

Li Yuanyin relied on the flying fish suit on his body and stepped forward to inquire about the situation, only to confirm that Shen Liangzuo was indeed in the Jiming Temple, and these soldiers were indeed officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp.

The reason why they were able to attack the south from the capital division and come here was because Emperor Chongzhen felt that the operation of the port always had to deal with foreigners, and most of the foreign countries were barbarians, so they might not cause trouble, so they specially ordered a total of 2,000 elite people in the Shenji Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion, and the 3,000 Battalion to go south with Shen Liangzuo.

Shen Liangzuo was originally the chief eunuch and the eunuch who temporarily took charge of the nine gates of the Beijing Division, and he already knew some military affairs, and he naturally had the confidence to have soldiers and horses around him, so he happily received the order and led the two thousand men and horses to Songjiang Mansion through Nanjing.

When Ji Qingwen heard the news, he first shook his head and sighed: "The secrecy of the Beijing camp is too lax, and a Jinyi guard can ask all the people, tasks, and leading generals of the department, isn't it too casual?" ”

Saying that, Ji Qingwen immediately frowned and said to Li Yan: "I thought Shen Liangzuo came here alone, but I didn't expect to bring soldiers with him, which is not easy to deal with." ”

Li Yan played with a folding fan that he bought at Confucius Temple yesterday, and said with a smile: "What is Brother Ji afraid of? Don't you know how many skills the Jingshi Camp has? He has soldiers in his hands, and Brother Ji has soldiers in his hands, so isn't it okay to transfer them over for a long time? ”

Ji Qingwen thought about it, and this was really the truth - in the first battle of the Beijing Division last year, except for the last battle of Zuo'anmen, some soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion were used, and the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Battalion always hid within the strong Beijing division city wall, and they did not have the ability or courage to confront the elite field battles of the Manchurian Eight Banners outside the city.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the Beijing battalion is at most comparable to the Changping soldiers and Xuanfu soldiers under You Shiwei and Hou Shilu, far inferior to the "Ming Wu Army" under Ji Qingwen, the "Liaodong Iron Cavalry" led by Yuan Chonghuan, and even the "Tianxiong Army" cobbled together by Lu Xiangsheng temporarily.

Ji Qingwen was woken up by Li Yan's words, and immediately ordered Li Yuanyin: "Commander Li, you are fast, just say that it is my order, and the two hundred brothers in the city, fully armed, will come here to support the scene." ”

Li Yuanyin's personality is more cautious and safe, and he feels that Ji Qingwen's doing this will easily lead to a confrontation or even a brawl between the two armies, so he repeatedly confirmed with Ji Qingwen, and then ran to the Confucius Temple to pass the two hundred soldiers of the "Ming Wu Army" over.

Ji Qingwen and Li Yan took this opportunity to choose a small tea stall at the gate of Jiming Temple, and carefully observed the dynamics of Jiming Temple while waiting for the soldiers to come over.

I saw that the soldiers and horses brought by Shen Liangzuo from the Beijing camp were about divided into two classes, with less than 1,000 people in each class, and the Jiming Temple was guarded quite strictly, so that a famous temple in Nanjing City became deserted, and only a few monks who carried water lowered their heads and silently entered and exited the mountain gate.

After half an hour, Li Yuanyin finally came back, and he really took the two hundred township warriors who had just finished escorting the silk to practice.

And these people really obeyed Ji Qingwen's orders, all of them wore swords on their waists, muskets on their shoulders, and a few of them also held shields, wolf stalks and other things in their hands.

So Ji Qingwen asked them to rest a little, then lined up behind him, and ran to the door before the mountain gate of Jiming Temple.

The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp guarding the Jiming Temple had already seen the movement of the tea stall opposite from a distance, and when they saw the team of two hundred people approaching, they immediately gathered four or five hundred people, and lined up outside the same mountain gate to confront the "Ming Wu Army" under Ji Qingwen's department.

After Ji Qingwen traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he had also seen some of the world, and he didn't panic at all in the face of such a small scene, he coughed lightly twice to clear his throat, and asked loudly: "Which one is the leader?" Please come out and speak. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw an officer in a formation dressed in a five-grade uniform step out, arched his hand towards Ji Qingwen, and said: "It turns out that Lord Ji, the commander of Suzhou weaving, is here, and there is a loss of welcome, and there is a loss ......of welcome."

Ji Qingwen was stunned for a moment, looked the general up and down, and saw that his face was very raw, but he seemed to have seen it somewhere, so he could only salute back: "This general, the subordinate did not report his name, how can you recognize me?" But I don't know the general's name? ”

The Zhenfu arched his hand again: "Lord Ji is such a nobleman, naturally he will not recognize the last general." The last general will become righteous, it is the Shenji battalion from Wupin to pacify, last year, when the Beijing division was fighting, followed Lord Ji in Zuo'anmen also shot a few shots, and saw the greatness of the adult. ”

Only then did Ji Qingwen suddenly realize that it seemed that he had indeed seen Chengyi's face in the trench in Zuo'anmen, which cost 300,000 taels of silver and was successfully dug within an hour.

Having experienced life and death together, such a relationship is naturally unusual.

So Ji Qingwen was naturally a little more cordial with this Chengyi, and said: "It turned out to be General Cheng, and it was all because the lower official was busy with the war at that time, and he couldn't say hello to General Cheng when he was in Beijing." However, since General Cheng followed him to Songjiang Mansion, the lower officials naturally wanted to do their best to be a landlord, and if the general had any difficulties at that time, just open his mouth. ”

With such good intentions, Cheng Yi was naturally disrespectful, and hurriedly said: "Then thank you for Lord Ji's care." ”

Ji Qingwen said two more words of humility with him, and finally put his words into the topic, saying: "Then I will be tired of running to General Cheng, please report to Shen Liangzuo and Shen Tiju, and say that I, Ji Qingwen, want to see you." ”

Cheng Yi first agreed, and then said: "My lord, now the Nanjing garrison eunuch Han Zan Zhou Gonggong is also meeting with Shen Gonggong in Jiming Temple, will it be inconvenient for your adult to go in now?" ”

Shen Liangzuo's road number, Ji Qingwen has not yet understood it; Similarly, Han Zanzhou's number of roads, Ji Qingwen also did not understand it.

It seems to be a little difficult to deal with two eunuchs who don't know the details at the same time.
