159 Governor of Guizhou
"Come on, come on, change it, try this alpine rock tea, this tea was born in the extremely cold place of Qianzhang Mountain, and it tastes quite different." Chen Dao pointed to the teacup and greeted Su Hao.
Su Hao took a sip of tea, tasted the taste, and then asked, "Brother Chen, let's arrive a few days early, I don't know what arrangements we have?" ”
Chen Dao said with a smile: "Change is really a person who can't be idle, although this Chongqing Mansion can't be compared with Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is also a bustling city, it has a different flavor, you and my brother are here for a few days, the customs and customs, aren't you happy?" ”
Su Hao smiled bitterly: "Brother Chen, don't say this kind of thing to make fun of the little brother, as the saying goes, the military situation is like fire, I don't believe that Brother Chen has such elegance to be able to play here." What is going on, I hope that Brother Chen will inform the younger brother earlier, so that the younger brother can be prepared. ”
Chen Dao said: "Don't be impatient if you change it, and you will talk about it after dinner." Chen also has a few acquaintances in Chongqing, and I have already sent someone to invite them to the banquet, and you will know when the time comes. ”
Helpless, Su Hao had no choice but to sit and wait. The boys brought a large table and placed it in the middle of the living room, and then began to put dishes and chopsticks on the table again. Su Hao watched coldly, and found that although the table was large, there were only five sets of tableware on the table, if he also had the opportunity to serve the table, then the guests Chen Dao said should be three. The tableware placed by the little guys was extremely exquisite, which made Su Hao believe that the person Chen Dao wanted to invite was definitely not a very person.
After waiting for almost half an hour, a small servant ran in from outside the door, he came straight to Chen Dao's side, leaned his mouth into Chen Dao's ear and said a few words. Chen Dao stood up. The expression on his face became a little more serious, and he said to Su Hao: "Change it." Come with me to greet the guests. ”
Su Hao Chen Dao's expression, knowing that the identity of the visitor was not low, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and then followed behind Chen Dao, walked out of the hall, and came to the center of the courtyard.
The door of the inn opened, and two men dressed as slaves came first. Su Hao is clearly able to come out, these two people are extraordinary, and they are obviously guards in disguise. The two guards entered the courtyard and stood facing each other, their eyes already locked on the entire courtyard. Su Hao believed that if a fly flew by at this time, these two people would be able to shoot it down as soon as possible.
Then. The main lord appeared, and their group was indeed three people, all dressed in the clothes of ordinary rich people. The person in front of him was in his 50s, with big ears and a sturdy body, and a look of non-anger and self-authority on his face. The other two did not rise as imposing as the man in front of them. But they are all official appearances. There were also a few guards behind them, and after entering the courtyard, they quickly closed the courtyard gate, and then separated from each other.
When the courtyard door was closed, Chen Dao took a step forward and saluted the leader: "Chen Dao, the head of the military department, greets Ye Gong. failed to go to the door to greet him, and asked Ye Gong to forgive his sins. ”
The man known as Ye Gong waved his hand. said: "The court has worked hard, and the matter is urgent, so you don't have to be rigid and polite." ”
From Ye Gong's name for Chen Dao, these two people should be quite familiar, Ye Gong is a little like treating Chen Dao like he treats his students or nephews. Su Hao stood behind Chen Dao, naturally he couldn't stand stupidly, he stepped forward and saluted Ye Gong like Chen Dao, but he was muttering in his heart, I don't know who this Ye Gong is.
"This son is Su Hao." Chen Dao introduced to Ye Gong, and then turned his head to Su Hao and said: "Change, let me introduce to you, this is the Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate of Guizhou Ye Gong Mengxiong, this is the Chongqing Governor Zheng Lian, and this is the Chongqing Wei Commander Fu Zhong." ”
No way? Su Hao sighed in his heart, a governor, a prefect, and a guard commander, these are all characters that he can only look up to, and he can pull out one of these three people at random, and it is easy to crush a small six-grade hundred-hundred-hundred. There was no way, Su Hao had no choice but to kneel down and salute everyone one by one, the laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that there was no need to kneel in a number of circumstances, but there was such a difference in grade, if you didn't kneel, you just waited for people to scold you for being arrogant.
After the ceremony, Chen Dao beckoned Ye Mengxiong, Zheng Lian, and Fu Zhong into the living room to attend the banquet, while Su Hao followed behind like a little tail. When they arrived at the table, Ye Mengxiong sat at the head without concessions, Zheng Lian and Fu Zhong sat in the left and right seats respectively, and Chen Dao and Su Hao could only sit at the bottom. For such a seating arrangement, Su Hao did not feel despised at all. Being able to sit and eat with a high-ranking official like the governor can only be regarded as a blessing from the previous life for the other small hundred households.
Seeing that the distinguished guests had arrived, Chef Mi personally instructed the servants to serve the food. Su Hao originally thought that when he arrived in Chongqing, he would have to have a table full of chili oil, but to his surprise, the table was full of dishes with southern Guangdong flavors such as white chopped chicken, boiled shrimp, and stuffed tofu. Su Hao secretly inquired with Chen Daoyi, only to learn that Ye Mengxiong was from Huizhou, Guangdong, and the banquet arranged by Chef Mi was obviously to his liking.
Not long after Chen Dao and the others arrived in Chongqing, Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Guizhou, actually appeared, and Chef Mi also had time to rectify a table of Cantonese cuisine, all these signs indicate that today's banquet has already been prepared, and Chen Daoren should have passed the news with Chongqing when he was on the way.
The feast began, and everyone said a few words. What Ye Mengxiong and others said was naturally to welcome Chen Dao to Chongqing for business, while Chen Dao expressed his gratitude to all the officials for their arrival. Although Chen Dao's grade is only sixth, he belongs to Jingguan, and like that, he is not generally familiar with Ye Mengxiong, so he has the right to speak. As for Su Hao, it is an honor to be able to be transparent by everyone on this occasion, where is his turn to give a toast crookedly.
After three rounds of drinking, Ye Mengxiong put down his wine glass, looked at Su Hao, who lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, and said, "Su Hao, ......"
"The lower official is here!" Su Hao hurriedly sat up straight, waiting for Ye Mengxiong to speak.
Ye Mengxiong smiled slightly and said, "Don't be too formal, it's the old man's idea to invite you over this time." Tired of running thousands of miles, don't you blame the old man? ”
"Governor Ye has a call, and the officials are very honored, how dare they complain." Su Hao replied. Ye Mengxiong's attitude was very polite, which made Su Hao feel good. However, he kept muttering in his heart, how could he have anything to do with Ye Mengxiong?
"The old man heard that you are good at mapping, I wonder if this rumor is true?" Ye Mengxiong asked again.
Su Hao replied: "Governor Ye Miao praised, Xia Guan has indeed learned some methods of map surveying and mapping, but he only knows some scratches, and he doesn't dare to insult him." ”
"Some fur ......," Ye Mengxiong laughed, "It's not easy to make Wang Yiyu forget some fur." The old man sold his face and asked you to come over from Wang Yiju, just to use some of your fur, don't let the old man down. ”
"But......" Su Hao wondered, the Ministry of War obviously transferred himself to Yunnan, how did he become the person asked for by the governor of Guizhou? Also, since Ye Mengxiong wanted himself, why didn't Chen Dao bring him to Guizhou, but came to Chongqing, and let Mengxiong travel thousands of miles to Chongqing to see him?
Chen Dao seemed to be out of Su Hao's thoughts, he smiled, took out a document from his arms, and said: "Su Baihu, there is a secret order from the Ministry of War here, you will know it after you have passed." Along the way, Chen was worried that the matter would be leaked, so he kept it from you, and asked Su Baihu to forgive me. ”
Su Hao took the secret order and unfolded one, and couldn't help but be taken aback. The secret order stated that the survey battalion led by Su Hao was dispatched by Chongqing Wei to carry out the tasks arranged by Chongqing Wei from the day he saw the order, and there must be no mistake.
This order was completely different from the order that Su Hao had arrived before leaving for Fengcheng, the previous order was to tell him to go to Yunnan, but this order made him stay in Chongqing. The real purpose of Chen Dao's trip was to bring them to Chongqing, and Yunnan and Chongqing were in the same direction anyway.
"Why?" Su Hao looked at Chen Dao in surprise and asked. Chen Dao said that he knew it as soon as he gave the secret order, but after he passed the secret order, he was even more confused, and the relationship between them was too complicated, far beyond the limits of his imagination.
The purpose of the camp was to survey the terrain for the Yunnan border army, so as to facilitate the border operations. For the sake of convenient management, the initial structure of the Kanyu Battalion was hung under the Jiangxi Metropolitan Division, so it can also be regarded as the soldiers of the Jiangxi Metropolitan Division. This time, the military department ordered the survey camp to be transferred to the west, and with Su Hao's idea, it should be to return to the establishment of Deng Zilong's department, but who knew that it was inexplicably assigned to the name of Chongqing Wei of the Sichuan Metropolitan Division.
Another strange thing is that Ye Mengxiong is the governor of Guizhou and has nothing to do with Sichuan, but he said that it was his idea to transfer Su Hao. Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi, plus the Ministry of War, these five are almost completely unrelated, but they are all related to Su Hao, which makes Su Hao understand the mystery.
Along the way, in the name of avoiding trouble, Chen Dao asked the Kanyu camp to change into civilian clothes, and avoided the post house for lodging, but chose an ordinary inn, obviously to cover up his travels. Even just now, Ye Mengxiong and the others came to this Baoning Inn, they were also wearing plain clothes, and Chen Dao could only greet them inside the door, not daring to greet them outside the door. All of this shows that what they are doing now is to be extremely secretive.
Chongqing is located in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, not a border pass, what needs to be kept secret to such an extent?
The group of people waited for Su Hao's confused face, and they all laughed slightly. Chongqing Wei Commander Fu Zhong Ye Mengxiong, then turned his head to Su Hao and said, "Su Hao, do you feel a little confused?" ”
"Uh...... The subordinates are stupid, and they also ask the commander to dial it. Su Hao answered honestly. After he passed the secret order, he was already under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Wei, and Fu Zhong was a veritable top boss for him.
Fu Zhongdao: "The matter of transferring you to Sichuan is a request made by Governor Ye to the Ministry of War, and the reason for this is Yang Yinglong, the envoy of Banzhou Propaganda and Consolation."
