The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, especially the humid heat in Jiangnan, even if you don't move, after a while, you are sweating profusely and soaking through your clothes.

Especially today, the sky is full of dark clouds, but you can't hear the thunder, which makes people feel impatient.

Zhang Mu sat in the car and kept wiping the sweat on his neck with a towel, he was a northerner in his previous life, although he had been in the south for two years, he still didn't adapt to the weather here.

May and September in the north, the wind is light and cloudy, I am afraid it is the best season of the year.

And here, it has entered steamer mode.

Along the official road, all the way to the east, the road is a carriage for the Zhedongwei to transport the baggage.

Eastern Zhejiang is dominated by border guards, and the number of tuntian is small, so it needs to be supplied from western Zhejiang.

"My lord, what does this surname Wen mean?" Yan looked at Wen Desheng's letter and looked up and asked.

Zhang Mu saw the rebirth of many fertile fields and weeds outside the car window, accompanied by the nuisance of the Japanese invaders, the closer to the seaside, the more barren it became, so Zhang Mu couldn't help but sigh lightly: "This surnamed Wen doesn't believe us, which is also reasonable." What he meant was to let us dredge up the relationship with the border guards and let us go to sea. ”

He nodded sternly and said, "I see." ”

"Han Baihu, how much do you know about the situation of Zhao Qianhu in this Pan Wei?" Zhang Mu asked.

"My lord, Pan Shiwei currently has five guards and horses, stationed along the coastal defense line. Their commander's surname is Zhou, and the Zhao Qianhu you want to meet is a brother-in-law. This Zhao Qianhu was stationed in Panshiwei. This man is a battle-hardened man, but I've heard that he is afraid of things. And greedy for money**. It has a poor reputation in the army. Because of his relationship with Commander Zhou, it's fine. Han Fangshan explained.

Zhang Mu groaned, there are 5,600 people in theory, and the highest commander is the commander, subordinate to the thousand households, and the thousand households under the hundred households, which is the most basic composition of the Ming Dynasty army.

The commander has soldiers and horses, but does not have the right to transfer, and generally the general army, the deputy general soldier, and the garrison have the right to transfer troops.

If there is no war, the border guard commander is the supreme commander.

The Wen family's business is booming here, and this Shi Wei should be rotten from top to bottom.

But when dealing with this kind of thing, you need to be cautious, in case of a mutiny, the consequences will still be very troublesome.

Unconsciously arrived outside Panshiwei Dazhai.

When Zhang Mu got out of the car, he saw an earthen fort, and the carriages and horses entering the fortress were endless, bustling, but there was some weather.

In the barracks, the sound of drills was endless, and the soldiers standing guard and patrolling at the gate looked energetic, but the situation was much better than his pictogram.

Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by a big-headed soldier and pointed at Zhang Mudao: "The child from there?" The barracks are important places, and you came here casually? ”

Zhang Mu hurriedly smiled and said, "This official, the little one is from Wenzhou. I have something to see Zhao Qianhu. As he spoke, he took out a handful of treasure money and quietly stuffed it to him.

The gatekeeper immediately laughed and said, "Did you say it earlier?" Wait, I'll go in and pass it on. ”

Zhang Mu stood guard outside the door, and after a while, he was taken by a small flag officer to the door of Zhao Qianhu's house.

After entering, Zhang Mu saw Zhao Qianhu ** wearing his upper body, Zhang Mu looked at him, this Zhao Qianhu was still in good shape, with a square face and triangular eyes, but he was a little heroic.

Zhang Mu hurriedly said: "The grass people Yan Shi visited Zhao Qianhu. ”

Zhao Qianhu squinted at Zhang Mu, then waved his hand to dismiss the little soldiers who were waiting in the room, and stood up with a grin: "Damn, what about that kid from the Wen family?" How did you send you? ”

"Adult, the small one is not the same thing as the Wen family." Zhang Mu arched his hand and smiled.

Zhao Qianhu suddenly became alert, bowed his head and said, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Mu hurriedly said: "I am a comprador in the Cao Guo Mansion, and I will go south to make a deal." I know that you Zhao Qianhu have hands and eyes to the sky, so I came to run the door. ”

When Zhao Qianhu heard that it was from the Cao Guo Mansion, he immediately said politely: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Why do you knowingly ask? I have a big ship in my hand, and I'm going to ship some seafood. Please also open one eye of the adults and close one eye and let the little ones pass. The small ones must be thanked. Zhang Mu bowed and said.

"How can this work? This official guards the stone guard, how can he ignore the law of the country? For your favoritism? Let's go back. Zhao Qianhu waved his hand and said.

"My lord, don't be angry first, the little one also knows that this deal can't be done, so I'll only do it this once. To tell you the truth, in fact, this time for the sake of the silver of the Japanese country, my master said that the north side is about to open the market. I only have treasure money in my hand, but no silver, so I just want to exchange some silver. Please raise your hand so that you will not forget your benefits when the matter is done. Presumably Cao Gong will also be grateful for your great kindness. With that, Zhang Mu put a small box on the table.

"Only once?" Zhao Qianhu asked suspiciously.

"If you only go once, if it's not for the money, you don't have to take this risk, right?" Zhang Mu said with a smile.

Zhao Qianhu hesitated for a moment and said, "You said that it was from your Cao Guogong's family, and it was from Cao Guogong's family?" Is there any seal? ”

"Yes, yes." Zhang Mu hurriedly took out the pair of cards of Cao Fu, and then took out Li Jinglong's handwritten instructions that were ordered to go south to procure, these were all done by Han Fangshan, although I don't know whether it's true or not, I can only give it a try.

Zhao Qianhu's suspicion was half gone, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys go first, the official has to think about this matter." I'll get back to you in a few days. ”

Zhang Mu knew that the matter was half done, and this surnamed Zhao naturally couldn't trust them, and he needed to inquire about Zhang Mu's identity with the Wen family, if he was really from Cao Guogong's mansion, it would not be a big problem to sell Cao Guogong a face.

So Zhang Mu bowed his waist and said, "Say goodbye below." ”

After speaking, he came out of the camp, and after getting into the carriage, Zhang Mu asked, "There is nothing wrong with this identity, right?" ”

Han Fangshan hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the comprador of Cao Guogong's family is now in Hangzhou, and the small one has been seamlessly handled." This hand and the pair of cards are true. Besides, there was ventilation over there. Unless he really asks Li Jinglong, who knows? Besides, Li Jinglong is now training in Jiangxi, who are they going to ask? ”

Zhang Mu nodded, he didn't expect it to have anything to do with Li Jinglong's straw bag this time, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back first." ”

Here Zhang Mu left, but in the barracks, Zhao Qianhu hurriedly carried the brocade box left by Zhang Mu and walked towards the Chinese army camp.

When I opened the door, I saw an old man in his fifties, sitting in a big tent, dealing with military affairs.

Zhao Qianhu saluted and said, "My lord, the little one has something important to report." ”

This old man was Panshi as Zhou's commander, and when he saw Zhao Qianhu's anxious face, he stepped back and said, "What is so tense?" ”
