Chapter 123 Visit
In Qian Yuan's plan, there are two things to do when going out this time. The first is to resettle the family, but after inviting Wang, he brought Qi Jiguang out, and then dragged on Qi Jiguang's current miserable situation.
It's really miserable.
Qian Yuan and Qi Jiguang went to the military camp the next day, and it was a terrible sight.
There are Hangzhou Avant-garde and Hangzhou Right Guard. More than a thousand soldiers under Qi Jiguang are from Hangzhou Avant-garde. These people usually do not practice or practice martial arts, and do not even farm like most other gardes, but do not manage business.
The better ones rent a shop, the less likely they go around the streets, and there are some pot makers, big trucks, and even last year, a partner had sex with the maritime merchants.
But no matter how good or bad, it can fill your stomach. If you have better luck, you will have some savings. In this case, your grandson is willing to fight against the Japanese pirates.
Therefore, although Qi Jiguang is known as the most capable general in history, there is no way to do so...
What's more, it's not just the military discipline scattered, but the logistics problems are even greater. Qi Jiguang tried to keep everyone for lunch, but Qian Yuan returned to the city hungry. Not to mention the others, there was a smell of sourness in the porridge!
Qian Yuan did not expect that the logistics management of the Ming Dynasty's official army was so chaotic, and there was no such thing as a baggage battalion. The candidates responsible for the logistics of each army were selected by the generals in charge, with no plans, no source of purchases, and even no account books.
After returning to the food garden and having a simple meal, Qian Yuan complained to Wang, who had just moved home. It would be a strange thing in the world if such an army could win the battle.
Wang sighed, "Actually, someone in the garrison station manages the logistics, but now it's time to pull it out... Yuan Jing is a guest general again."
During the Battle of Chongde, Wang saw with his own eyes how much effort Qian Yuan had put into logistics management, and even the command of him had more people than soldiers and local chariots, which ensured that the morale and combat effectiveness of the defenders were maintained above a certain standard.
"I'll go to change?" Qian Yuan laughed and said, "Sister, this is not a simple matter. In just one sentence, why should I change it?"
"Let's do this first. Brother Yuan Jing is difficult to stand alone now. The soldiers of the local garrison in Zhejiang are too bad." Qian Yuan calculated the time in his mind, "I will set off for Songjiang the next day..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Wen outside reported loudly, "Young master, Zhejiang Deputy General Lu Tong sent a post."
Qian Yuan took the post and glanced at it, curled his lips and said, "The ears are quite good."
Relatively speaking, among the several generals who fought against the Japanese, Lu Tong had the least thoughts and the most direct actions. Of course, he had the least involvement in the government affairs in the end and the best outcome.
In Lu Tong's opinion, he had no other meaning to take Lu Bin to visit the food garden. He just thanked Qian Yuan for helping Lu Bin defend the city twice. Lu Bin has been promoted one after another and served as a guerrilla under Lu Tong's command.
However, this move will be different in the eyes of others.
Zhang Jing, who was in the Governor's yamen, turned a blind eye to this. Li Tianchong of the Governor's yamen was inspecting Shaoxing and Ningbo, but Zhao Wenhua once again confirmed that the breakthrough he chose was very accurate.
So, on the day Qian Yuan was about to leave Hangzhou, Zhao Wenhua suddenly appeared outside the food garden.
Without posting, no appointments, no big fanfare, Zhao Wenhua only took one person into the food garden.
"My Mercun Gong, this person... seems to have seen him on the Suzhou Pier boat?" Qian Yuan led the guests to walk on the corridor.
"This is Hu Zongxian, the governor of Hangzhou. Zhan Cai called him Hu Magistrate." Zhao Wenhua pointed at Qian Yuan, "If you submit a post, you will not be willing to let someone come to the door. You are quite arrogant."
"Mencun Gong and Magistrate Hu are wronged." Qian Yuan asked the two to sit down in the pavilion by the rockery. "The mother and sister-in-law are not in good health these days. She is worried all day long, and she really has no intention of entertaining guests."
"Well, Zhan Cai and Xiao Ming are all here." Zhao Wenhua said it over and picked up the teacup and took a sip. "This is a melon slice. Have you finished drinking it in the Mingqian Longjing?"
"Hey, don't mention it, they were all snatched by Mr. Pingquan!" Qian Yuan slapped his thigh, "Mr. Shuangjiang wanted to snatch it a few days ago!"
Zhao Wenhua's ears moved, but his expression remained the same, and he said with a smile: "I brought some more here today, but Zhan has to thank Master Hu. If he hadn't searched hard, he would have tried Mingqian Longjing, which would have been next year."
Hu Zongxian had fair skin, a bright look, his face was a little stiff, and he smiled unnaturally. He waved his hand and smiled, "It's just a little bit of trivial matters."
This was the first time Qian Yuan heard Hu Zongxian speak. It seemed like a saw was grinding his throat. His voice was low and hoarse, wooden and solemn.
"Drinking tea is a elegant thing, it is indeed a small matter, but drinking or even drinking is a waste of things is a big matter." Zhao Wenhua changed the topic, "Have you heard it? Zhongcheng went to Shaoxing to supervise the battle, drank all night, and was drunk."
Hu Zongxian sat there with a stern face like a statue, while Qian Yuan looked at Zhao Wenhua with a bitter face. After a while, he smiled bitterly: "My Mercun, how do you want me to answer these words?"
"Hahaha, you, too slippery!" Zhao Wenhua laughed and said, "But there are some facts that I can't stand. In the past few days, the Japanese pirates began to invade Shaoxing and Ningbo. It is said that Haiyan and Haining also have Japanese pirate activities, but the Governor was strictly ordered not to fight without authorization."
Hu Zongxian glanced at Qian Yuan who was not ready to answer, and suddenly said, "There are more than 200 people robbed in Haining alone."
Qian Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, "Robbery the population?"
Zhao Wenhua slapped the stone table, "Ruzhen, how about it?"
"Mi Village Gong Gaojian." Hu Zongxian bowed.
"The Qian family Yingjie naturally has such a vision, otherwise why did General Lu come to visit in person?" Zhao Wenhua sighed: "But the Governor still refuses to attack."
Nomads will also plunder the population when invading the northwest, but most of them are for farming and grazing, while the Japanese pirates plunder the population... These people are likely to be forced to become Japanese pirates in helplessness.
"Ruzhen first discovered this, but unfortunately the Governor..." Zhao Wenhua shook his head, "In terms of talent, the magistrate of Hangzhou really wronged Ruzhen."
Hu Zongxian did not refute this sentence. In his opinion, he was very proud of himself, transferring from the Huguang Inspector to the magistrate of Hangzhou was not considered a temporary transfer.
In Hu Zongxian's view, if he had the opportunity, he should jump from the inspector's censor to the governor of a province like Wang Minying, rather than being a civilian official.
After all, the inspector and the Censor was affiliated with the Censorate and was often appointed by Emperor Jiajing to be an official in Beijing, while the magistrate of Hangzhou was a local official. There was a huge difference between the two.
During the inspection of Huguang, Hu Zongxian suppressed the rebellion of the Miao people. Because he had inspected Xuanfu and Datong, he was sent to Zhejiang, which needed military talents the most, by the court. This was something that Hu Zongxian could understand, but it was unacceptable.
This is the fundamental reason why Hu Zongxian climbed to Zhao Wenhua earlier than in his previous life.
"Yu Dayou and Jingchuan Gong have mentioned that the ability to manage government is to be able to dominate the country a few months ago, and the victory of Chongde..."
Before Zhao Wenhua could finish his words, Qian Yuan interrupted him with a smile.
"Thank you Hu Zhizhou and also thank you Meicun Gong for your recommendation." Qian Yuan chuckled, "Let's leave today and return to Songjiang."
