Chapter 132 a blood
It is already early September. Although the weather is suitable during the day, it is a bit chilly at night.
In addition, there are no mountains in Wujiang County, and there are many lakes of varying sizes. The night wind brings moisture to the window paper and makes a whirring sound.
Qian Yuan couldn't help but ask someone to add another layer of bedding, and then he went in comfortably and slept soundly. He was tired and exhausted on the road these days, and he tried his best to intrigue. He was really exhausted.
This garden is owned by a large household in Wujiang County. Two days ago, Qian Yuan and his group lived in with Wu Baipeng. In addition, only Mrs. Wa brought a dozen female soldiers into the store.
The other places were already pitch black, and only the side room on the east courtyard was still lit. Wu Baipeng and Mrs. Wa were discussing the departure tomorrow. The messenger had sent a reply from the Governor's Office today.
Just like Wu Baipeng and Qian Yuan thought, Zhang Jing allowed Tian Zhoulang's wolf troops to be transferred to Songjiang Prefecture and belonged to Yu Dayou's command.
But at the same time, the Governor's Office also sent bad news. Considering the inconvenience of transportation, the supply of Tianzhou wolf soldiers was under the responsibility of Songjiang Prefecture.
Through the gap in the window, Wu Baipeng faintly saw the figures walking around the corner of the garden. He knew that these people were Qian Yuan's guards. It is said that these people had experienced the battles between Jiading and Chongde with him, and were elite.
Wu Baipeng's heart moved, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Old Madam, the situation may not be that bad. In fact, the person in the West Courtyard... has pointed out a way."
"Why do you think of Qian Yuan?" Old Lady Wa frowned and asked, "What's the way?"
"The day before yesterday he said he could introduce Shuangjiang Gong to the old lady." Wu Baipeng explained in detail: "Shuangjiang Gong went south to supervise the battle and elected Songjiang... He was once the magistrate of Huating and had a high reputation in Songjiang Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture was the most serious Japanese riots..."
Mrs. Wa still frowned, "Qian Yuan..."
Obviously, she was concerned about how much weight this referee could have.
In the past two days, the wolf soldiers caused a lot of trouble in Wujiang County. Wu Baipeng and Mrs. Wa spent their time suppressing their efforts and had not talked about the young man in the West Courtyard.
"The first time I heard this name was outside the Dabaoen Temple in Nanjing. Hangzhou merchants talked about the scholar Songjiang who practiced with monks at Dabaoen Temple since he was a child, so he could use clever tricks in Hangzhou to suppress monsters and avenge their father and brothers." Wu Baipeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"There is still this?" Mrs. Wa couldn't help laughing, "He really lost his hair and practiced when he was young?"
"How is that possible!" Wu Baipeng shook his head and said, "His great-grandfather, Hetan, was the top scholar in Hongzhi for the third year. He studied hard since childhood. He was a famous young talent in Songjiang Prefecture. He was the first of the case in Songjiang Prefecture in the 31st year of Jiajing. He was valued by the great master to write the students."
"The two great victories in Jiading and Chongde were reported to Lu Bin and Yu Dayou, but the people in Jiangnan know who the biggest hero is..."
"Of course, no one in the court will know." Wu Baipeng paused and then said slowly: "The messenger on the return journey... A few days ago, Lord Zhao, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works who went south to supervise the war, and Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Hangzhou, came to visit him."
Mrs. Wa's pupils shrank slightly, "Zhao Wenhua...he seems to be Yan..."
After a moment of silence, Wu Baipeng smiled bitterly. "Of course, this has nothing to do with the old woman. Huating Qian is a big clan in Songjiang. Qian Zhancai has a friend with General Yu again. Now he is under the Shuangjiang Gong account. With him as his guarantee, Tian Zhoulang soldier is safe in Songjiang Prefecture."
"That's good." Old Lady Wa sighed, "Fortunately, I met Qian Xiucai on Zhongnan Road..."
"Hahaha, I'm afraid Zhong Nan caught Qian Zhancai." Wu Baipeng laughed, "This guy is too thoughtful and flexible and changeable. This guy... robs all the Tian Zhou wolf soldiers with the strongest combat power to Songjiang Mansion!"
"But now that the war is imminent, he moved his family to Hangzhou but returned to Songjiang, and tried his best to strengthen the troops in Songjiang."
Wu Baipeng gave Qian Yuan a comment that no one had ever given to him, but it was in line with his current state of mind. "This boy has a passion!"
...
On the second day, the heads of the dock were thrust, and it was quite crowded. Wolf soldiers wearing blue and black cloth clothes and dark-faced faces were everywhere. The locals covered their mouths and noses and retreated.
As for the gentry, none of them appeared, and only two of them were wearing Confucian robes and smiling bitterly at this.
Qian Yuan found it difficult to understand this scene. If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it... That is, Mrs. Wa has a good temper, so if he could overturn this place!
Wu Baipeng sighed and said in a low voice that in the past hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the wars in the southwest have basically never stopped. The barbarian chieftains rebelled from time to time, and the harm to the Ming Dynasty was actually no less than that of the Mongols, and even more troublesome.
The Mongols made a carriage and horse to kill people and steal things, but the southwest part... today surrendered and rebelled tomorrow, and often fought across several prefectures. It is common for the siege of cities and land, because the rugged roads often lead to wars lasting for several years.
In short, these wolf soldiers have a bad reputation. This is not their first time to be transferred from abroad, but it is their first time to come to Jiangnan.
In the eyes of locals, especially gentry, most of these people who can't even speak Chinese may turn around and grab it.
If many Jinshi from Jiangnan were assigned to the southwest, they would rather return home and travel to the spring than take up their posts...
"You can't tell me when it will rain. You will lead the people first." Qian Yuan carefully explained to Yang Wen, "On the one hand, go and find Master Zhou to arrange a residence, and on the other hand, send someone to cook ginger soup."
Wu Baipeng, who was so close to him, looked at the young man carefully instructing his subordinates and took everything he thought about, and he had a unique feeling in his heart.
A few months ago, he led his army to attack in Yangzhou and defeated the Japanese pirates and beheaded 300 times. He was once proud, but soon he learned that nearly a thousand of them were beheaded by Chongde's victory. After he took office as the Zhejiang inspector, he sent people to Chongde County to inquire.
Among the many news that the servants gave him the most, what made Wu Baipeng sighed the most was a hemp rope, the hemp rope that once tied the heads of eight Japanese pirates together and selected them at the gate of the city.
The organization of internal affairs shows his ability to manage government affairs without any confusion, and act decisively at critical moments, and kill decisively. This is the most important person in the southeast to fight against the Japanese.
Seeing the soldiers on the boat smiling, Wu Baipeng saluted, "Just ask Zhancai."
"I dare not take it. I just introduced the old lady to Shuangjiang Gong, and I can't get involved in what happened next." Qian Yuan replied: "After this farewell, I wish Yaoshan Gong a victory."
After a few months of truce, the invasion of large Japanese pirates had begun to appear, and a great war was right in front of us.
"From now on, just call him Brother Weixi." Wu Baipeng patted Qian Yuan on the shoulder, "I will meet you in the future and want another bowl of braised pork."
Qian Yuan bowed again and said with a smile: "Brother Wei Xi doesn't know that I am good at brewing wine. When the day of pacifying the Japanese, we will meet again and raise our glasses to drink, and we will be happy."
"Well said, I'll wait for that day."
