As night fell, Sun Yuan finally came to the famous Qinhuai River, saw the painting boats and lights all over the river, looked at the bustling crowd, looked at those dashing scribes, heard the sound of silk and bamboo in his ears, and suddenly remembered an article he had learned in middle school before, "The Oars of the Qinhuai River" or "The Lights of the Qinhuai River", the interval was too long, and I can't remember it clearly.

It's only been a few years since I traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that a long time has passed. This time is too long, and sometimes, Sun Yuan feels that he has completely become an ancient. And in modern society, life is just a dream of yellow food made by oneself.

Sun Yuan had too much knowledge when he was doing business in his previous life, and after traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he had no interest in things like dogs and horses. Therefore, after arriving here, I saw so many red men and green women, but my heart was extremely calm.

Soon, he was caught by a person who looked like a family member who had been waiting there for a long time: "But Chief Soldier Sun, my eldest master has been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's Sun Yuan."

The family: "Commander, please." ”

He took Sun Yuan and the others to a painting boat, and as soon as he entered the cabin, he saw a tall man with long hair who had already waited there.

This man was about fifty years old, with dignified features and very handsome.

A singer was playing the lute there, and she didn't know what she was singing.

Seeing Sun Yuan coming in, the middle-aged man in his fifties was busy getting up, and he arched his hand: "It turned out to be General Sun, who has admired the name for a long time, and I am Ruan Dacheng." I heard that General Sun was in Nanjing, and Ruan happened to have something that he wanted to ask the general for a favor. ”

He spoke directly, and Sun Yuan also liked to deal with such people, so he arched his hand: "It turned out to be Lord Ruan, and I have admired you for a long time." "Nonsense, this Ruan Dacheng was written into the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and it is impossible for any history lover not to know his name.

However, this man seems to be quite personable. This thing is strange, why are the so-called traitors in history all personable, such as Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia, even if they are high and dive, if they put on a beard, they are also dignified; And the loyal ministers are not outstanding, and even a little ugly

。 For example, Shi Kefa, who I saw before, such as Lu Gong, heard that Hai Rui Haigang Peak in Jiajing was also dark and small.

"Today's night is very beautiful, a few days ago Ma Siniang has been closed for several months because of her poor health, and now it is better. Ma Siniang's poems are a must, and there are always exquisite poems published. I heard that General Sun is also good at this, Ruan and Ma Siniang are old acquaintances, and today I just invited Ma Siniang to come over, and we will talk about the wine, chant the poems of the bright moon, and sing the chapter of the fairy. ”

After speaking, he nodded to the singer who was playing the pipa: "Please ask Ma Siniang to come over and talk about it." ”

Hearing the words, Huang You's eyes lit up and he straightened his neck.

Sun Yuan is now worried about the Central Plains war situation, and the battle of Zhuxian Town will start in ten days, and he is still staying in Nanjing. He was not interested in looking at the woman, so he said: "Lord Ruan just said that he invited me over, but he has something important to discuss, so he doesn't need to invite Ma Siniang over, just a cup of tea, if you have something to say." ”

Ruan Dacheng laughed: "General Sun is a straightforward person, so I won't be polite." ”

Huang You was greatly disappointed, and his face was a little lost. As a scholar, singing and singing poetry in the Qinglou is the main social activity. Qin Huai Bayan is very famous, and everyone is a person who can write poetry and dance. If you talk about talent, I am afraid that it is much stronger than the vast majority of scholars in this world.

For example, Qin Huai Bayan is equivalent to a film and television star in later generations, and he is still an emperor superstar, but it is not something you can see if you have silver.

If you want to fall in love with them, or even sing poems and harmony, you have to be rich and famous.

To be honest, if Huang You came here alone on weekdays, it is estimated that he would have a tea party, and then he would be sent away.

Moreover, now seven of Qin Huai's Bayan have all withdrawn from the Fengyue Realm. Liu Ru married Qian Qianyi; Chen Yuanyuan was taken to Beijing by the national abbot Jiading Bo Zhoukui, saying that he was going to be sent to the palace; Li Xiangjun followed Hou Chaozong; Dong Xiaowan became a concubine; Sun Yuan's old acquaintance Gu Mei is also married, and her husband is Gong Dingyu, a talented son of Jiang Zuo; Bian Yujing was almost sent to the palace by Zhou Kui, and in order to avoid trouble, he also married; Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, married Kou Baimen.

Up to now, Ma Siniang and Ma Xianglan are the only ones in Qin Huai Bayan who are still in the Fengyue Field. Moreover, it is now also semi-hidden. If you miss today, I'm afraid that you won't have the opportunity to meet in the future.

Sun Yuan understands the psychology of Huang You's star-chasing clan very well, even if this Huang brother is too old

。

smiled and said: "Lord Ruan, this is my guest Mr. Huang, but I have admired Ma Siniang for a long time." Otherwise, let's talk about our affairs, and ask Ma Siniang and Mr. Huang to talk. ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled, and instructed the singer: "You take Mr. Huang to meet Ma Siniang, and say that this Huang Gongzi is a peerless national soldier, and ask him to see him in a certain face." ”

"Thank you, General, Lord Ruan." Huang You had a rare look of excitement, and he didn't shirk it, and he bowed his hand and walked out of the cabin.

Only Sun Yuan and Ruan Dacheng were left in the cabin, and it was already very hot in April, and mosquitoes were flying under the lights.

The two gossiped for a long time, and Ruan Dacheng took the lead in speaking: "I heard that General Sun came to Nanjing this time to send troops to Henan, and I have already met Shi Butang. ”

"Exactly." Sun Yuan nodded: "Kaifeng is important, presumably Ruan Gong also knows." If Kaifeng is not guaranteed, the principle of neutrality is lost, and if the Central Plains is lost, there will be a big mess in the world. Sun Yuan was deeply favored by the emperor, and my Ningxiang Army was a hundred battles hero, and it was the time to contribute to the country, so he would not let it go. ”

"I heard that General Sun sent troops, but Shi Xianzhi refused?" Seeing that Sun Yuan was about to nod, Ruan Dacheng waved his hand: "Actually, Shi Xianzhi is not the kind of person who has no responsibility, the reason why he refuses to agree to the general's request is because his colleagues are more than one thing is better than less, and he, as a scholar, must also take care of it." Moreover, where will this military salary come from, the military department does not have much money. As for the household department, haha, it was a bunch of misers, asking them for money, it was like asking for their lives. ”

Ruan Dacheng said wittily, and Sun Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Indeed, the matter of military pay is relatively difficult to handle. ”

"Actually, it is okay for a large army to go out to fight, to eat with the army, and to eat from place to place." Ruan Dacheng continued to laugh: "It's just that so many troops must have a name, otherwise it won't become a rebellion." ”

"Ruan Gong is right, Sun Yuan is distressed about this matter. Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, how can it be delayed. ”

The two were talking, and there was a loud pipa sound over there, and then Huang You's high-pitched chanting, singing I don't know if it was a word card or a song card, Sun Yuan only heard the sentence "I have always sung around the painting beam, why bother to be sad".

He smiled in his heart, this Brother Huang is really hilarious.

"What's there to worry about here, this military department is not one of his Shi Xian's personal decisions

。 Ruan Dacheng snorted disdainfully: "Just because of money and food and fear of chaos, he Shi Kefa is unwilling to agree to the request of the Ningxiang Army to send troops, and he is not afraid of colding the soldiers." If there is something in Nanjing in the future, who will be willing to contribute to the country at that time? ”

Then, he made a big mockery of Shi Kefa. In his mouth, Shi Butang is simply a hypocrite and an incompetent person who sells his reputation.

Sun Yuan knew that he was going to talk about Ma Shiying's extermination of Liu Chao's army, and he didn't say anything at the moment, just waiting for Ruan Dacheng to bring it up himself. If you talk about it first, it's not easy to bargain later.

Sure enough, after scolding Shi Kefa for a long time, Ruan Dacheng continued to shoot the case and shouted: "Dumb, corpse vegetarian meal, what is the use of a person like Shi Kefa for the country, my Ming Dynasty employment system is really problematic." As I said just now, if the hearts of the soldiers are cooled, once something happens in Nanjing, who will be willing to contribute to the country. Now, it's not coming. Yongcheng Liu Chao's rebellion, I don't know if General Sun has heard of it? ”

Sun Yuan: "I just heard that it is said that Liu Chao has 100,000 people, fought Yongcheng, and is now attacking Suzhou. The Governor of Feng and Lu, Governor Ma, is trying his best to resist. ”

"That's right, that's it." Ruan Dacheng: "Ma Yaocao's emergency military report was just sent to Nanjing this afternoon, and the urgent report said that the thieves were very strong, and he had few soldiers at hand, and he was afraid that Suzhou would be lost, so he asked Nanjing to send reinforcements to the north as soon as possible to rescue." If Suzhou is lost, Fengyang will inevitably not be guaranteed. When the time comes, Liu Chaoke will go directly to the city of Nanjing. ”

Sun Yuan deliberately asked: "Then dare to ask Duke Ruan, what is the plan of the six ministers, and which way are they going to send troops and horses to the north?" ”

"How many more soldiers and horses can be sent?" Ruan Dacheng deliberately smiled bitterly: "General Sun was also a great general who participated in the Battle of Chuzhou back then, and the Nanjing Army was unbearable, you must have seen it." Speaking of which, there are no more than three available soldiers in Nanjing today. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out three fingers: "One is the garrison guarding Nanjing, however, this force is in the hands of the garrison eunuch Lu Jiude, and its main role is to guard Nanjing." However, Gonggong Lu was a brave man and agreed to send troops. But the problem is that all units of the Nanjing Army were frightened by thieves. In the battle of Chongzhen's seventh year, the losses of the troops were too great, and they had not recovered until now, so the generals of all departments shirked each other and refused to send troops for one reason or another. ”

"The second way is the Luzhou Huang Degong Department, and Huang Zongbing is willing to send troops. However, although Zhang Xianzhong said that he was in Huguang, he had always been in the east. Therefore, even if General Huang went on the expedition, he would not be able to dispatch many men. Liu Chao has 100,000 horses, and with the few soldiers of the Luzhou Army, I am afraid that he is not the opponent of Liu Thief. ”

"As for the third road...... Ruan Dacheng bent the third finger down and looked at Sun Yuan with blazing eyes: "That is only General Sun's Ningxiang Army, and the Ningxiang Army is a heroic division that can defeat even Jiannu."

。 If the Ningxiang army is willing to fight, a certain feeling, even if the other two roads do not dispatch, General Sun can kill Liu Chao alone. ”

Sun Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and said secretly: "Sure enough, sure enough, it's really sleepy and someone sent a pillow, this Huang You really guessed it." ”

However, on the surface, he still made a look of embarrassment: "However, Shi Butang seems to have a prejudice against my Sun Yuan, and in the afternoon, I had a fight with him, but I am afraid that Shi Butang will not agree to let Sun Yuan send troops." ”

"Hmph, it's still the same sentence, the Ministry of War is not his Shi Kefa alone." Ruan Dacheng sneered: "It is true that he Shi Xianzhi is the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Ma Yaocao is the left squire of the Ministry of War, and he can also mobilize the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili on behalf of the imperial court to control the towns." General Sun, let's tell you the truth, when Liu Chao was in trouble, he sent someone to Fengyang with an expedited 800 li, and from the order he had in hand to transfer the Ningxiang army to participate in the war, maybe it could be sent to Nanjing in two days. ”

Sun Yuan: "But, I'm going to Henan!" ”

"Don't worry, when Liu Chao is suppressed, Governor Ma will give you another talisman to send to you to Kaifeng to suppress the thief. Yongcheng is the only way for the Ningxiang army to enter Henan, so if you want to go to Kaifeng, General Sun, you really have to beat Liu Chao, a thief, first. ”

Sun Yuan was even more happy in his heart: "But, it's ......"

"But what?" Ruan Dacheng was a little impatient, and his eyebrows shrugged.

Sun Yuan: "However, I don't have any money and food on hand, and I need at least 200,000 taels of silver to participate in the war in Henan this time." ”

"I see, I'm talking about a big deal." Ruan Dacheng waved his hand: "I will send a letter to Governor Ma, he has been in charge of Hecao for a while before, and he has money in hand, even if he allocates 200,000 taels of silver to you, it doesn't matter much." In this way, I will give you 300,000. ”

Sun Yuan got what he wanted, and he didn't talk nonsense, he stood up and arched his hand: "Then Sun Yuan is better than obeying his fate." I didn't feel a little admiration for Ruan Dacheng in my heart, this traitor is so bold and a person who can do things.

Hey, nonsense, the reason why a traitor can be a traitor is that you have to be talented first. Otherwise, even if you want to rape, you won't be able to climb to such a high position.
