Chapter 109 Smell
Although they encountered Japanese turmoil, except for Ningbo, Taizhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing and other places along the southeast coast, commercial transportation in Jiangnan is still circulating. Vessels of all sizes and large and small on the Suzhou Canal are constantly shuttled, and the pink walls and tiles on both sides are still there. It seems that the war is still far away from here.
But on this day, Suzhou Canal Wharf was a little chaotic. A large number of soldiers cleared out an area of about three or four miles, and a three-story official ship slowly docked.
No one got off the boat, but people kept coming on horseback or on sedan chairs, handing out posts to wait on the shore, and from time to time, the boat was rumored to call on the boat to board.
The owner of the boat didn't seem to want to see too many people, so there was only one guest in the not-so-small living room.
The guest had a national face, a slightly dark face, not tall but a straight and pine figure, with a stern power. He was Zhang Jing, the first governor of Zhejiang, the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he took office, Xu Hai played with him. Zhang Jing's face was not good-looking. He frowned and asked in a low voice: "Brother Shuangjiang, Yu Dayou..."
Nie Bao, who was quite tired along the way, seemed to be a little bent, and he nodded and said, "I just received the news that the Chief Superintendent has submitted the Chongde War Report to Your Majesty, and Yu Dayou is transferred to General Wusong."
Although he suffered repeated defeats, Zhang Jing knew very well that Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan, and Yu Dayou were still important figures he needed to rely on.
Nie Bao glanced at Zhang Jing who was still frowning, "Although he is General Wusong, you are still assigned."
Zhang Jing's official career has been ups and downs for decades, but he is still very arrogant and immediately asked: "It is said that Yu Dayou and Yan..."
"It's meaningless to talk." Nie Bao shook his head, "No need to consider this matter, Yu Dayou and Yan Song actually have nothing to do with each other. I know the inside story."
Nie Bao did not continue to explain, but changed the topic, "What you need to worry about is the one outside."
Zhang Jing knew that this was talking about Yan Song's godson Zhao Wenhua, who was walking down to Jiangnan with Nie Bao.
"Tingyi, the governor of Zhejiang Province, is also in charge of the troops of the six provinces. You don't need to think too much." Nie Bao emphasized, "I went south this time to prevent you from thinking too much..."
After a long silence, Zhang Jing bowed and thanked him.
After all the words were said, Zhang Jing could understand them naturally.
Regarding the southeast anti-Japanese war, Xu Jie was defeated and Li Mo could not get involved. Only Yan Song and Nie Bao were in charge of this matter in the court.
In this case, Yan Song could not have sent people to go south to give credit, and Nie Bao went south to keep an eye on Zhao Wenhua. Although Zhang Jing was old, he might not be taken seriously by Zhao Wenhua.
"Sir, General Yu's famous letter." The servant reported outside the hall.
"Let him wait." Nie Baohui retired from the servant and said with a smile: "Yu Dayou is really lucky."
"That's true. Pinghu was defeated by the Japanese pirates, but he didn't expect to win a great victory in Chongde." Zhang Jing also smiled and said, "It's a barely saving some face."
Nie Bao pointed to Zhang Jing, "Tingyi, you and I are the same year, why bother to write a poem!"
Nie Bao and Zhang Jing were both Jinshis in the 12th year of Zhengde, which was the main reason why Xu Jie suppressed Zhang Jing before.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Jing laughed and said, "I also want to meet the Qian family, who is known as the hero of Huating."
Nie Bao didn't smile, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, and asked slowly: "Why?"
"Why?" Zhang Jing stopped laughing and said in surprise: "A student is capable of helping officers and soldiers defend the city, so he naturally has this qualification."
Nie Bao silently picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's just that?"
"There are other reasons?" Zhang Jing was puzzled.
A faint sigh sounded, Nie Bao was silent for a moment and said, "I am afraid that the Japanese pirates will invade the coast this year. Are you sure?"
Zhang Jing hesitated for a while before saying, "If Guangxi Langci soldiers can be in place as soon as possible, there will be no big problem."
"Okay, I'm responsible for the allocation." Nie Bao waved his hand, "Tingyi, you are busy with military affairs, go back to Hangzhou. I'm going to set off for Songjiang tomorrow."
Although he was a Jinshi of the same year, Zhang Jing was always a little brother in front of Nie Bao. He put down the teacup at a loss and walked out of the cabin hesitantly.
There seems to be something wrong...
The wind blew outside, and when the wind blew, Zhang Jing's mind was still a little confused... He said he wanted to meet the Qian family before, but Nie Bao suddenly asked if he was sure to attack the Japanese, and then he saw him off.
Walking down the official boat along the board, Zhang Jinghe and the people who came forward to pay their respects greetings, and asked Yu Dayou about his injuries. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the young man not far behind him.
Yu Dayou hesitated whether to introduce Qian Yuan, but Zhang Jing's face suddenly changed, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and he turned around and walked away.
Looking at this scene from afar, Nie Bao, who was standing at the bow of the boat, sighed deeply. Although he had been up and down for decades, Zhang Tingyi was still like this... This is his advantage and his biggest disadvantage.
"That's Zhang Tingyi, the governor of Zhejiang Zhi." The middle-aged man with a round face smiled. "Don't take it to his heart, he is a famous straight temper in the court."
"My Umemura said..." Qian Yuan laughed and said, "Isn't I a bad temper?"
Zhao Wenhua was named Meicun, and laughed at this and said, "It's interesting and interesting!"
Qian Yuan's words were hidden in the cotton. Zhang Jing changed color when he saw me and you, Zhao Wenhua, a member of the Party, standing together.
However, Zhao Wenhua has a good temper and is not as arrogant as ever in history.
Yu Dayou and Qian Yuan had just arrived at the dock to hand over the post. Before Nie Bao summoned him, Zhao Wenhua suddenly got off the boat in person and found Qian Yuan in full view of everyone.
The two chatted and laughed, and looked as if they met too late, which surprised everyone. Yan Dang's reputation was simply a stinking street in the Jiangnan Shilin. Unexpectedly, Qian Yuan had such an attitude.
For Qian Yuan, the Yan Party is not a good thing, but Xu Jie, who killed the Yan Party, is not a good thing either.
What's more, as a time traveler who pays great attention to his own interests, Qian Yuan never offends people for no reason. The other party has power. Even if he doesn't want to climb this line, there is no need to offend the other party.
But for a scholar-official who regards himself as a gentleman, this is unbearable.
Looking at Zhao Wenhua, Yu Dayou, and Qian Yuan boarding the boat one after another, Nie Bao asked with a smile: "What are you talking about so much?"
After Qian Yuan gave a decent salute, he whispered: "In the 26th year of Jiajing, Meicun Gong compiled the "Jiaxing Mansion Picture Record", and the younger generation benefited a lot."
Zhao Wenhua is definitely not an ignorant person. In fact, this person is very talented. The compilation of "Jiaxing Mansion Picture Records" was later included in the "Siku Quanshu" and passed down through later generations.
Nie Bao nodded slightly, looked at Zhao Wenhua and Qian Yuan and joked for a few times before leaving.
After looking at the back of Zhang Jing who had already set off for Hangzhou from a distance, Nie Bao sighed in his heart. When it comes to commanding the battle, the ten Zhao Wenhuas are not Zhang Jing's opponents, but in terms of sensitivity to the struggle between the court, the one hundred Zhang Jings are not as good as Zhao Wenhua.
Of course, Nie Bao, who has both civil and military affairs, has been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, has such sensitivity.
Qian Yuan, a student at Huating who was only eighteen years old, seems ordinary, but he has been involved in the struggle between the Korean people and has a deep participation in the previous and later anti-Japanese wars.
He once gave advice to the former governor of Zhejiang Wang Jun, and once curbed the Japanese turmoil in Jiaxing Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture.
It is no coincidence that Chongde once showed his outstanding abilities twice in Jiading and helped the Ming army defeat Japanese pirates twice.
These are just appearances seen by outsiders.
Hidden underwater is Qian Yuan’s connections.
Lu Shusheng's disciples received the praises of Duke Zhenchuan and Wenhengshan, and had close contacts with the Sun family in Yuyao, and these influences were limited to the Shilin.
But in the Jiading and Chongde battles, Qian Yuan, Yu Dayou and Lu Tong, the two most important Ming generals, established a very deep connection. To put it bluntly, they all owe Qian Yuan a favor.
The Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun was Qian Yuan's uncle, and Taizhou magistrate Tang Shunzhi and Qian Yuan fought side by side in Chongde County.
As Yan Song's godson, he went to Jiangnan to take credit. Zhao Wenhua keenly noticed this breakthrough, and he could connect too many people from the Qian family.
There was no doubt that Nie Bao also noticed it, so he decided to summon Qian Yuan as early as the way south.
