Chapter Forty-Three: Déjà vu Yan Returns
Hasei asked the soon-to-be-defeated Japanese to evacuate, and some of the Japanese soldiers ignored him at all, and they wanted to fight to the death, no matter how much Nagatani shouted, they would not listen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHasei is not a chief, and his prestige is not high, but he has only recently been reused by Murakata. Reluctantly, Nagatani ran away with a dozen Japanese soldiers, and they ran to the beach as if they were desperate for their lives, and started the boat they had been riding on.
One of the Japanese soldiers asked, "Changgu, where are we going?" ”
Hasei looked at the long sea, and at this time the ocean current was not suitable for returning to Japan, he thought for a moment and said, "To the south, we still have some goods on our ship, so let's try our luck in the south." ”
Now, the soldiers who came with Hasei apparently regarded Hasei as a commander. Changgu watched the horizon get farther and farther away, and let out a cry from the bottom of his heart: "I'll be back!" Even if I don't come back, my children and grandchildren must trample this rich land under their feet! ”
The Ming army chased to the seaside, Chai Baochen also rode over, looking at the distant ship has become a small black spot in the sky, Chai Baochen has an indescribable feeling in his heart. The enemies who wanted their lives were killed, and the Japanese finally fled a dozen people, not knowing if the Japanese would come back in the future, he watched the Japanese ship reach the sky, and then ordered: "Go back to the camp!" ”
In this way, a collection of several forces as one of the Japanese was eliminated, and the Ming coast was appeased. Lord Wang Huan came back from Chongming, he kept receiving battle reports along the way, and he was overjoyed, he hadn't had such a big victory for a long time. Soon, Wang Huan's army and Chai Baochen joined forces, and the army was rewarded according to their merits, and many soldiers earned enough money. Lord Wang gave the soldiers another three days off, let them go to the city to play, as long as they do not break the law, after all, these people are carrying their heads to do things for the imperial court, and they may die at any time, except for those who have families to save money, many soldiers do not save money, how much to spend, for a while, Ningbo City is like a festival, and prices are rising with a large number of purchases by soldiers.
In the past few days, the drunken centipede disbanded the camp, sent all the robbed women home, and came to Chai Baochen with five henchmen. Chai Baochen was very happy when he saw that the drunken centipede was coming. But when I saw that there were only six people in total, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The drunken centipede explained that his subordinates were all rabble, and they got together to rob the common people, and they were scared when they heard that they were going to go to the battlefield, and there was no bloody light and urine left, so they scattered all the money in the camp, and these people each found a place to buy land to marry a wife and have children, but there was a little benefit, they had money, and they would not make a living from robbery. Chai Baochen thought about it, the drunken centipede is a talent, and it is good that he can cast under his command. On the other hand, the biggest bandits around Ningbo have been suppressed, and the other bandits will be suppressed in a few days, which will save a lot of effort. The people can rest and recuperate.
Wang Huan convened another military meeting and asked Chai Baochen to give a detailed account of the situation of the current extermination, and specifically summed up the experience of the current extermination. Then he wrote a folding table to group the imperial court, and asked for credit for Chai Baochen and others.
When the soldiers returned from vacation, Lord Wang gathered the local soldiers and still let them return to their hometowns. He also sent some troops to build coastal defenses and strengthen the city walls, in case the Japanese invaded again in the future. After a month of busy work, the holy decree arrived, and Wang Huan was promoted to Jiangnan Daotai and sealed Jinghai Gong; Chai Baochen was promoted to the prefect of Ningbo, and the official was five products. In addition, Lord Wang received a secret letter from the cabinet, and the imperial court asked him to secretly go to Nanjing to investigate Liu Xian, the minister of the Nanjing Military Department. Because Liu Xian's crime of colluding with the Japanese has been ascertained, but he is afraid that Liu Xian will mutiny. Although it is Nanjing, if the Ministry of War betrays and fights with the officials who come to investigate, it will be a disaster for the country and the people.
Lord Wang understood and said goodbye to Chai Baochen and went to Nanjing. Before leaving, he explained some things to pay attention to as an official, and Chai Baochen stopped and felt very practical. After that, Mr. Wang went to Nanjing.
From then on, Chai Baochen settled down in Ningbo and soon became familiar with the affairs of the government. One day, Chai Baochen received a case that two families in the western suburbs had a dispute over irrigation water, and a fight broke out, which later developed into a fight between two local villages. Chai Baochen hurriedly led people to play the pressure, and he didn't think this matter was so strange. It's just that later, among the people in the village who were arrested by the government, some people said that they were members of Lord Wang Huan's clan.
When Chai Baochen heard this, he had a relationship with Lord Wang Huan, so he paid it back, and hurriedly went to the prison to see it in person. I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, the person in front of me who pleaded for mercy really looked like Lord Wang, not only like Lord Wang, but also like his uncle in the next life.
Chai Baochen's appearance is naturally different from the person surnamed Wang in front of him, but his soul is very similar to this person in the shell of Wang Qiaonian in the later generations! Chai Baochen had thought about the fact that Lord Wang Huan looked like his future life, but he gave up later. Now it seems that this matter is very strange!
Originally, the people had to be punished severely for fighting with each other, but after all, these arrested people were members of Lord Wang's clan, and Chai Baochen felt that there was no one to kill, so he locked them up for a few days and then released them all. It's just that Chai Baochen followed the person surnamed Wang back to their village, and he wanted to figure out why he had traveled to this era.
Walking into the village, he felt that everything in front of him was unfamiliar, not like a place with which he had any connection. He followed the people surnamed Wang all the way, and finally turned a slope, got on a bridge, and came down from the bridge, everything in front of him made the blood on Chai Baochen's head gush up!
Beautiful gravel roads weave through quiet country streets, and houses glow with a faint golden glow in the sunlight. There are fewer fields, and there are more trees, and almost every house has trees planted in front of them. The stream under the bridge flows through the village and in front of every house, and everything in the world is shrouded in a faint mist.
When he arrived here, Chai Baochen didn't need the people surnamed Wang to lead the way, he went straight around a few paths, walked to the front of a large compound, pointed to a hut on the east side of this large compound and asked, "Whose house is this?" ”
The people surnamed Wang walked over, looked in the direction of Chai Baochen's finger, and stretched out his hand to point Chai Baochen's hand to the west and pushed it. Chai Baochen didn't understand what he meant.
The man surnamed Wang said: "Master, are you asking about this big mansion?" ”
Chai Baochen said anxiously: "No! I asked about this little house! ”
Lord Hui: "This mansion is Lord Wang's old mansion." As for this small house, it also belongs to Lord Wang, but he has never lived in it, just to store some sundries. ”
Chai Baochen showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Since you said that the mansion and this small house belong to Lord Wang, I have a question. ”
"Sir, may you ask?"
"Why didn't Lord Wang build this small house in the courtyard when he built the mansion, but left it alone outside, I have never seen such a house built." Why did Chai Baochen build a house like this in the future?
"Back to the adult, this small house is the residence of Lord Wang when he was young, he was poor when he was young, studied hard, and later was admitted to the lifter, and then won the champion, he is the first person to lift people since the dynasty in our village, and it is the first champion. Later, Lord Wang became bigger and bigger, and then he built this big mansion in the west. He didn't want to take away the place where he studied hard when he was a child, and he always felt that this house carried too many memories, so he kept it, so this house would look lonely outside this big mansion. ”
Chai Baochen walked into the small house and saw an unprecedented kindness, isn't this his own home in later generations? The place where Mom and Dad accompany them is also their cradle. He still remembers that every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, in order to roll fireworks, many cardboard boxes cannot fit in this room, and they have to build a board house on the house to hold the boxes and cured fireworks. And my family lives very crowded, and I usually do a lot of things outside the house, trying not to take up space in the room.
However, looking at the current situation, the small house and the big mansion should all belong to Lord Wang, how did the big mansion in later generations really come to the residence of the surname Shen? When I was a child, I seemed to have heard my father say that my ancestor was a great official in the Ming Dynasty, and then there was a bad son in the family, and the family wealth was ruined, so I had to sell the house to live. And the small house, because it was not worth a few dollars, was later preserved.
Chai Baochen was even more puzzled: What is the relationship between Lord Wang Huan and himself?
