Chapter 436 Visit
Although Linhai County is still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, starting from the fourth day of the first lunar month, all matters have been carried out in an orderly manner by the government office headed by the government office headed by the Ningshaotai general Lu Bin.
Hou Jigao and Qi Jimei set off for Chuzhou early on the fourth day of the lunar month, Jinhua recruited soldiers. Lu Bin brought more than a thousand soldiers to Ninghai County, and asked Taizhou Tongzhi to recruit village soldiers in Tiantai, Xianju and Linhai, and specially arranged the leading soldiers.
Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun went to Songmen Guard in Taiping County on the fifth day of the day, and Taizhou commanded the Navy to station here. On the sixth day of the day, the eighteen warships allocated from Nanjing officially went into the sea, including only one of the lucky ships, and the rest were sand ships and crafts.
Tan Lun's trip was in person at the request of Ge Hao and came to pay tribute to the sea god.
However, Tan Lun soon set off for Linhai, and a messenger came to report that Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian and Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng were about to arrive in Taizhou.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, outside the pavilion five miles outside the gate of Linhai County, a large number of people were looking forward to it, and the dense black dots in the distance were slowly getting bigger.
"Pretending." Qian Yuan, who was standing in front, inserted his hands into his sleeve and muttered: "How many things are so complicated, and he still has the intention to welcome and send him off!"
Tan Lun, who was standing on Qian Yuan's left side, coughed, "It's just a routine."
Qian Yuan snorted, Taizhou water transportation was extremely convenient, Linhai County was near Lingjiang, and not far from the city gate was Anxi and Zhuxi. There was more than one wharf in the county, but Hu Zongxian and his party were going to get off the boat in Zhuxi outside the city and transfer to carriages.
Tang Shunzhi, who was standing on the right side of Qian Yuan, asked softly: "Zhancai, the warship on the side of Songmen Guard?"
"It's so cold this day, and I'm still slow to get frostbite!" Qian Yuan didn't seem to hear it, and waved to Yang Wen, "Get some Tang Pooh to the Prime Minister Tan and the Duke of Jingchuan."
Tang Shunzhi glanced at Tan Lun speechlessly. Before the New Year, Qian Yuan promised Ge Hao that he could get a batch of warships after the New Year, but as soon as the New Year was over, he got a large number of warships... You should know that before, Ge Hao could only use more than ten warships, and there was not a single lucky ship.
A quarter of an hour later, Hu Zongxian, who was slightly tired, walked off the carriage, and his aides and Wu Baipeng also got off the carriage behind them one after another.
"Meet the Governor."
There was a kneeling outside the pavilion, and Tan Lun and Tang Shunzhi were pretending to behave, and Hu Zongxian personally supported them. The former guarded Taizhou alone in the southeast and made great achievements, while the latter was a famous scholar-in-law master in the world. Hu Zongxian did not dare to be disrespectful.
Of course, Qian Yuan would not kneel down. In fact, he had never kneeled down to anyone in the officialdom except Emperor Jiajing. The main reason is that he has always been hidden behind the scenes.
Although we are now walking from behind the scenes to the front stage, we don’t have to kneel down as the inspector’s censor. The existence of the inspector itself is a constraint on the chief officials.
"Brother Ruzhen, should you go straight into the city or take a rest?" Qian Yuan bowed, "The government office is ready."
Hu Zongxian walked into the pavilion, looked around, pointed at a distance and said, "Zhancai, is Lu Bin's residence?"
"Yes, the camp was moved to Ninghai County a few days ago." Qian Yuan also walked into the pavilion, "It's better to enter the city, it's cold... If you have typhoid fever, it's not good."
"Haha, Zhan Cai's family has Thousand-Handed Guanyin, but are you still afraid of typhoid fever?" Shen Mingchen said with a smile.
Wu Baipeng, who followed in, praised: "Zhan Cai's command will defeat the Japanese pirates, and his younger brother and sister will wrap wounds and apply medicine in the city. This will be a good story."
"In the past, only 30% of the wounded soldiers were sent back, and most of them could survive, and most of them could not return to the battlefield." Tan Lun said seriously: "But 70% of the wounded soldiers sent to the clinic this time can survive, and 50% of the wounded soldiers can return to the army."
Hu Zongxian was immediately moved. He had experienced wars in the north and south, and in recent years he often led his troops to fight, and was very clear about the casualties data.
Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said, "It is said that Zhan Cai chose a girl named Yongxu, but unexpectedly he was Tan Yunxian."
"Not like, not like." He Xinyin shook his head and said, "Tan Yunxian is just treating illness in the backyard of the boudoir, so how can he compare with his younger brothers and sisters."
"Everyone says brothers, sisters, brothers, sisters..." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Don't forget the meeting ceremony later."
With laughter, Tan Lun frowned and said, "The Governor is here for this official act..."
"This behavior is public and private." Hu Zongxian waved his hand, "and was about to go to see Mrs. Tan."
Tan Lun was shocked, but Hu Zongxian turned around but saw a trace of vigilance flashing in Qian Yuan's eyes.
Although Hu Zongxian was over 40 years old and his eldest son was older than Qian Yuan, the two of them were of the same age. They had never lived in Hangzhou before, but this time they came here, so they naturally had to visit him.
The team went to the government office. Tan Lun, Tang Shunzhi and Qian Yuan accompanied Hu Zongxian, Wu Baipeng, Zheng Ruozeng and other staff members to the Qian Mansion... Uh, Tan Lun's smile on his face was a little too late. Most of the staff members of the Governor's Office came, and most of them were famous people in the world.
Tan is not very good at dealing with such occasions. As a brother, Tan Lun serves as a receptionist. In addition to Tan, there is also Xiao Qi.
"This is Mr. Zheng from Kunshan, and the Jiading victory is great. Mr. Zheng fights side by side with me."
"This is Mr. He, named Fushan, and is a disciple of Xinxue..."
Qian Yuan introduced one by one, and no one dared to neglect. Not to mention Xiao Qi's reputation as Thousand-Handed Guanyin now, not to mention Qian Yuan's wife, Xiao Qi came from the Xu Mansion, but there were not many people who dared to neglect. Yan Song and Xu Jie fought to the death in the court, but the southeast was relatively united. On the contrary, Ruan E, who was blocked when Li Shiyan was in power, almost got into trouble.
Those who followed Qian Yuan's old friends were all extraordinary. Xiaoqi got a lot of good things, the most expensive of which was a painting of Shen Zhou's ink-splashing landscape by Shen Mingchen.
"Zhan Cai was ordered to inspect Zhejiang Province, so he would not just stay in Taizhou, right?" Hu Zongxian sat down and tasted tea, and said casually: "Before the New Year, Yu Dayou complained that Zhan Cai refused to stay in Jiaxing for two more days."
"I'm rushing back to Taizhou to spend New Year's Eve with my mother." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "I didn't even get off the boat at the Hangzhou Wharf."
"The food garden has been prepared for you." Hu Zongxian sighed, "Or why don't you move to Hangzhou?"
"Forget it." Qian Yuan shook his head, "Yu Dayou was transferred to Jiaxing Prefecture, and the focus of the next Japanese invasion is likely to be Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Taizhou."
Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment and said, "Lu Bin, the general of Ning Shaotai, was stationed in Ninghai, and he lacked experience... Can Zhancai be willing to help one or two?"
Tan Lun and Tang Shunzhi were puzzled, but Hu Zongxian knew the staff and Qian Yuan himself.
"No need." Qian Yuan replied quickly: "Forty people have been drawn from the guard team and rushed to Ninghai a month later. Everything has been arranged. Brother Ruzhen is safe."
"That's good, that's good."
Hu Zongxian and Qian Yuan's eyes collided and each looked away.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Last year in Shangyu County, Zhang San rushed all the way from Ninghai County to report the news. Everything that happened later proved the accuracy of the information brought by Zhang San.
Hu Zongxian tested the first time when Qian Yuan headed south to pass by Hangzhou. Since Qian Yuan insisted on returning to Taizhou, the line might not have been broken.
The second test was just now, and Hu Zongxian confirmed again that the secret burial that Qian Yuan buried should still be useful.
In fact, in Qian Yuan's mind, Tan Wei's secret son is half-destroyed, and he has to rely on the power of his father and brother, but these are things that Hu Zongxian must not be known about.
The atmosphere in the main hall was a bit solemn. Wu Baipeng smiled and broke the silence. "Zhan Cai, today the Governor is visiting, and there are Duke Lumen, Mr. Fushan, Brother Bolu, Duke Jingchuan. It can be said that all the wise men have arrived. At the youngest gather, Zhan Cai should not be stingy."
"Why are you stingy?" Qian Yuan turned his head and looked at Tan Lun intentionally or unintentionally, "Songluo Tea is famous all over the world..."
"Hey, others don't know, don't we still know?"
"That's right, there must be Longjing in the Mingqian!"
Tan Lun, who was sitting in the lower head, looked a little ugly, and he never forgot to find the place again... This guy's temperament will never change in his life!
