Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Handsome Merchant
PS: Ask for a monthly pass.
Wu Shuanghuan gracefully followed Chen Xin into the house, he is the original Liaozhen regiment training chief soldier Wu Xiang, this person's promotion speed is comparable to Chen Xin, Chongzhen in April of the second year he was just a secretary of the capital, by the end of the second year has become a camp division, after Yuan Chonghuan was arrested, he escaped from Shanhaiguan with Zu Dashou, the same was not punished, but took advantage of the battle of the four cities to rise to the left army governor's mansion, at that time than Chen Xin's status was higher, in this place in Liaodong, he has the care of Zu Dashou's brother-in-law, and he is also very good at things, Before the Battle of Dalinghe, he had become the chief soldier of the Liaodong Regiment.

Chen Xin looked at Wu Xiang carefully, this person is tall, thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, very decently dressed, looks personable, and is also a handsome guy according to modern standards, the only thing is that the beard is too long, which does not quite meet Chen Xin's previous aesthetic standards, but in the Ming Dynasty, this beard is a plus.
Chen Xin touched his bare chin, and remembered that the prostitute on the Qinhuai River didn't treat him very well, whether it was because his beard didn't grow long.
There are sea dogs in the house, and they are also looking at Wu Xiang, but Wu Xiang has no sense of crampedness, after looking at the furnishings in the house, he arched his hand to Chen Xin, and said in a magnetic voice: "That day in Luanzhou, a certain was also under the old subordinate of Sun Ge, but it was a pity to be stingy with the adults. Seeing it today is comforting. "Baidu Search" "See the latest chapters."
Chen Xin hurriedly replied: "General Wu has been guarding Liaodong for many years, guarding Ningjin, a fateful place for the imperial court. β
Wu Xiang sat down generously, and sighed to Chen Xin helplessly: "Now this general soldier can't be done, and adults can not dislike being a white body below." Putting down your body and talking to the villain is already giving the villain enough affection. β
Chen Xin looked pityful. "The official of General Wu has also heard about it, and there are more than 100,000 Jiannu. Is it that the adults alone can resist, or the other battalion leaders are not angry? β
Wu Xiang patted his leg without blushing, "It is said that Lord Chen has extraordinary knowledge, and it is really the case, the imperial history of the Central Science and Technology Dao knows what to fight, and it is not a rumor, our martial artists are all picked up in the swords and guns, and we know how difficult and dangerous it is on the battle array, and the battle of Changshan that day." Zhang Chun collapsed first, those Yongping soldiers messed up my position, and it was thanks to my desperate efforts to keep some elites, otherwise, Jinzhou would be gone. β
Chen Xin scolded secretly in his heart, this person is really thick-skinned, and when he came up, he used the identity of a martial artist to set it up, completely ignoring the underdevelopment of information transmission in this era when he escaped from the battle. Zhang Chun is being arrested now anyway, and no one can verify what Wu Xiang said, and Qiu Hejia and these officials will definitely help him cover up. Wu Xiang has now been dismissed, and this time he should have come to Beijing to operate. His capital is all in the Guanning Army, and if he wants to recover, he must be from Guanning. If you can find the door so quickly this time, you must have a good network in the military department.
In fact, Chen Xin's guess was not far off. Wu Xiang and Song Wei were both dismissed from their posts this time to listen to the investigation, and there were also Zhili Inspectors and Wang Daozhi and other imperial histories who were biting and not letting go. If you have to behead the two of them, Wu Xiang made a special trip to do the event. On the cusp of this storm, he dared to come to Beijing, which was a bit unscrupulous.
In the original history, Wu Xiang was like this after the defeat of Changshan, after Jin Yuan's diplomacy, he let the military department no longer bite in the matter, and then made up a small victory with Qiu Hejia, and the original impeached military department turned to the upper part of the matter to exonerate him and Song Wei, which was more convincing, and was able to continue to make meritorious contributions in the Guanning army and keep the capital that was based in Guanning. Then, by suppressing Kong Youde in Dengzhou, Wu Xiang successfully recovered.
But now that Chen Xin has flapped his wings, the steps in Dengzhou have been demolished, and Wu Xiang will have to be a white mess for a while, but he is not the only one who is a white mess.
Chen Xin roughly guessed what Wu Xiang was looking for him, and asked Wu Xiang: "Brother is also unhappy with General Wu, but he is not in a town, and he wants to help but can't help, if there is any brother who can serve, General Wu can speak." β
Wu Xiang's chin shrank, "Today, I came to see the world-famous General Wendeng Chen, and by the way, General He was promoted to the general army of Dengzhou Town." β
Chen Xin naturally didn't believe his nonsense, just smiled and nodded.
Wu Xiang continued: "General, you also know that Liaozhen and Dengzhou are both strong towns to deal with Jiannu, and now that General Chen is in southern Liaoning, Liaozhen is more stable, and in the future, I will have to move around with the general more, work together, destroy Jiannu as soon as possible, and relieve the worries of my emperor." β
General Wu was polite, and his brother sent troops to Jinzhou that day, but he was also forced to do so. Originally, he was going to go directly to Yuguan to join the Shizhu soldiers, but he never thought that Kong Youde would rebel halfway, and his brother had to return to Dengzhou. After Dengzhou was pacified, he was worried that there would be no time, so he wanted to surround Wei to save Zhao, but he didn't know that he was still one step too late, and he was really ashamed. β
Wu Xiang shook his hand with a smile on his face, "This providence is like this, General Chen has done his best." As for the Da Ling River, the brothers are also deeply affected by it, others don't know, but a certain can be seen, not to mention anything else, that is, today I saw the general's respectful face, and there was a heroic righteousness in the square, as the so-called appearance was born from the heart, and it was immediately known that the general was a sincere and honest person. In the past, some people said that the general was Qi Shaobao's second, but he didn't believe it at the time, but today he realized that what he said was true, and his future achievements will be above Qi Shaobao. β
Although Chen Xin was a little contemptuous of this long-distance runner, he had to admit that he spoke very comfortably, and he never mentioned anything for help, which made the conversation seem very relaxed. Chen Xingong arched his hand and smiled: "Lord Wu has an overreputation. β
"Lord Chen doesn't have to be humble, my brother heard about the general's drive in the military department today, so he hurried here, in addition to expressing his brother's respect, he also wanted to help the ancestor general resolve the small misunderstanding between the two towns in Luanzhou that day, and the two towns will die in the future, so as not to close the frontier by mistake due to some small suspicions."
Chen Xin sighed softly, "It's rare for General Wu to be a confidant of the country, and he did offend a lot of officials in Luanzhou that day, and he ...... afterwards."
Wu Xiang interrupted in a low voice, "Lord Chen is open-minded, but in fact, it was obviously the wrong ancestor that day. Although he is my relative and friend, he is not partial. When the north gate has just been opened, how can it be opened, besides, Lord Sun divided the news before the war, Liaozhen is to attack the east gate, and if we don't take it, our combat strength is not good, how can we compete with friendly forces to frame. Afterwards, he refuted Mr. Zu in person, and he also felt ashamed, and said many times that he wanted to apologize to adults. β
Chen Xin looked at Wu Xiangyi's righteous face. Suddenly, this person was the embodiment of human justice, and he blinked his eyes to drive away this illusion. This Wu Xiang must be a character who talks nonsense. Now that Zu Dashou is not here, it doesn't matter what he says. Pingbai earned himself a tall image. When he turned his head back, he must have told Zu Dashou that he, Wu Xiang, had already reprimanded Chen Xin in person, and Chen Xin asked him to apologize to Zu Dashou, but Chen Xin could only pretend to receive him.
Wu Xiang did not feel any uneasiness at all, and continued calmly: "Our brothers in Liaozhen heard that the general killed more than 400 Jiannu in Jinzhou, who doesn't say a good man. Now when it comes to Wendeng Camp, I say to anyone that I am far inferior to Liaozhen. The difference is that there is a lack of a great talent like General Chen, which is the so-called thousand
The army is easy to obtain, but the general is hard to find......"
Wu Xiang's upper lip touched his lower lip. Blowing Chen Xin into the sky, but Chen Xin has an intelligence station in Liaozhen, and the officers in Liaozhen often scold when they mention the Wendeng camp, especially Chen Xin is the most scolded.
After saying this for almost a quarter of an hour, Wu Xiang's beautiful words were almost exhausted, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip to moisten his throat, and Chen Xin asked the sleepy sea dog next to him to add water.
After Wu Xiang put down the cup, he also thanked the sea dog, which really made Chen Xin a little confused. This person is inevitably too comprehensive, and he is so polite to even a guard, even if he is Chen Xin's henchman, he is just a small soldier. Geng Zhongming and the others were afraid of Chen Xin, and they never greeted the sea dogs.
"Lord Chen, General Soldier Zu knows that he did something wrong that day. Please don't bother with him. In the future, the two towns will work together to deal with Jiannu, and they can also communicate with each other on weekdays. The villain heard that Wen Dengxiang was from Wendeng, I wonder if Master Chen is familiar with the shopkeeper? β
Wu Zongbing asked coincidentally. The shopkeeper happened to be familiar with the official. β
Wu Xiang pretended to be surprised and clapped his hands, "That's really a coincidence, Liaodong is bitterly cold, just tobacco drives away cold and dehumidification, Wendengxiang is no different from the military in my Liao Town, and please make it convenient for adults to introduce a way to buy goods from Wendeng." Or simply, ask the shopkeeper to come to Ningyuan to open a semicolon, and no one dares to disturb him in the next custody. β
Chen Xin smiled heartily: "Very good, very good, I heard the shopkeeper say, he also wants to buy some Liaodong goods to sell in the south, but there is no way, today Wu General Soldier came, it is really beautiful, if General Wu is willing, you can also go to Dengzhou to set up a semicolon, the two towns can be interconnected." β
Wu Xiang patted his head, "Look at this person, he is far worse than Lord Chen, and he has contacts and contacts, so he can communicate with each other." ββ¦β¦
After another half an hour, Chen Xin politely sent Wu Xiang out, and the two smiled heartily, like old friends who didn't want to meet again. Chen Xin introduced Song Wenxian to Wu Xiang at the door and established contacts for the diplomat.
When Wu Xiang left, Song Wenxian brought Zhang Dahui into the house, and Zhou Shifa also walked in, several conspirators got together, and after listening to Chen Xin finish talking about the process of meeting, several people said in unison, "He wants to buy the first grade." β
Chen Xin nodded, "Now that we occupy Jinzhou, and we have won several times, the most likely to get the head is our Dengzhou Town, Wu Xiang is now the time to listen to the survey, and he still dares to come to Beijing, obviously there is some reliance." β
Zhang Dacheng said: "What he relies on is the ancestral army, as long as Zu Dashou does not come to Beijing, Wu Xiang is not afraid of losing his head." β
Chen Xin asked Zhou Shifa: "Wu Xiang promised to buy war horses from Mongolia and sell them to us, and he shipped them to Dengzhou to sell, and he also promised to take care of the business of our trading company, and he planned to buy the southern goods sales route to Karaqin Mongolia. Why is this Wu Xiang more like a businessman, does the Intelligence Bureau have any background in him? β
Zhou Shifa recalled and said: "Wu Xiang's ancestral home is Gaoyou, he was a businessman in his early years, his family was originally a horse dealer, often traveled to and from Liaodong, and he had a bit of speculative talent. He joined the Guan Ning army earlier, and also took a fancy to Zu Dashou's family connections in Ningyuan, and then married Zu Dashou's sister-in-law, and Zu Dashou also married his sister-in-law. β
Chen Xin thought of Wu Xiang's appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "This person must have been very handsome when he was young, and he was quite good at being a person, Guan Ningjun and those people would naturally like him, but I don't know if he calls Zu Dashou his brother-in-law or uncle." β
Zhou Shifa also smiled and said: "I don't know, this person not only knows how to do things, but also quite good at camping, he changed from a businessman to a military position, and his qualifications are a little worse." In the second year of the Apocalypse, he went to take the martial arts exam, and there was a suspected case of fraud in the martial arts exam that year, and Xizong canceled the palace exam that was originally promised. In the end, the martial arts examiner was robbed, but Wu Jinshi was still recorded, and Wu Xiang was in the middle of that year, and since then he has been a stepping stone, and his promotion has become faster and faster. β
"It's no wonder that the emperor wants to change the selection of martial artists." Chen Xin sighed, it is easier to cheat in martial arts than in Wenju, Wu Xiang is a businessman, if he wants to say that his martial arts in that year were honestly examined, Chen Xin didn't believe it.
"Does he have a son named Wu Sangui?" Chen Xin thought of this celebrity and asked specifically, although he had never seen this person, but in fact, Wu Sangui had already appeared on the stage of Guan Ningjun, when Yuan Chonghuan was arrested, he was next to him, helping Lord Yuan to hold Shang Fangjian, and then ran away with Zu Dashou when he turned around.
But now he is not a celebrity, Zhou Shifa lowered his head and thought for a long time, and couldn't recall it for a while, Zhang Dahui took out a booklet, flipped through it for a while before saying: "There is a son named Wu Sangui, who is also a martial artist in the exam, Wu Xiang does know how to drill the camp, it was Dong Qichang who presided over the martial arts examination back then, he didn't know how to get acquainted with Dong Qichang, and let Wu Sangui worship under Dong Qichang, and I don't know if this Wu Sangui's martial arts is true." β
Chen Xin shook his head slightly, he still thought in his heart that Wu Sangui should have some skills, otherwise there were many second-generation officials in the Guanning army, why could he stand out alone, but things in the late Ming Dynasty were already out of order, and many truly talented military attachΓ©s were not allowed to be promoted, but businessmen like Wu Xiang were popular.
He asked Zhang Dahui, "Do you think Wu Xiang and Song Wei can escape this time?" β
Zhang Dahui said respectfully: "As long as Zu Dashou does not move in Jinzhou, Wu Xiang will not be severely punished, he can't die, and Song Wei can't die." Originally, it was said that Wu Xiang would listen to the survey in Liaozhen, but he was able to come to Beijing for activities. In the past few days, I have visited some pavilion elders and imperial historians in a row, and as soon as the silver is spent, I am afraid that someone's tone will change. β
Chen Xin remembered Zu Dashou's breakthrough, and asked Zhou Shifa: "Did the people who went to the Liaozhen Intelligence Station come back?" How did Zu Dashou come out? β
"I've come back, there are some rumors about this in Jinzhou, saying that Zu Dashou killed He Kegang and led the whole city of Dalinghe to surrender to Jiannu, and he himself took Jinzhou as an excuse, only took his son to escape back to Jinzhou, and attacked and broke through Yunyun at night, all of which were nonsense made up by Qiu Hejia for him."
Song Wenxian said in a low voice, "Shall we help light the fire and let Wu Xiang be anxious again?" By the way, this year's Denglai's military salary can still be bitten from Liaozhen. β
Chen Xin snapped his fingers, "Mr. Song, let's go to meet Master Wen in the evening, are the gifts ready?" β
"It's all set."
Chen Xin turned to Zhang Dahui, "How Zu Dashou escaped, don't spread it for the time being, it is estimated that it will be difficult to cover it, we don't have to be this wicked person, if no one really says it, just wait until the time of the discussion to go out and spread it." As for Wu Xiang, as long as he is willing to help us do things, the official may as well cooperate with Liaozhen, Mr. Song will go back to explain to the divisions that Wu Xiang's shop in Dengzhou should be taken care of, it is not an ordinary shop, it is our liaison office for trading with Guanning. β
Song Wenxian shook his head and smiled, "Wu Xiangli doesn't leave his hand, Zu Dashou is arrogant, and Liao Town is full of talents." How to deal with this Wu Xiang, the emperor must have a headache. (To be continued.) )
