Chapter 91 Rejection
Like most generals of this era, Yu Dayou also came from a military family.
But most of the famous generals of this era came from extraordinary origins, at least their ancestors gave him a very high starting point, such as Qi Jiguang, who was hereditary of the commander of Dengzhou Guard, Lu Tong, who was hereditary of the Qianhu Guard of Chuzhou, and Li Chengliang, who was later hereditary of the commander of Tieling Guard.
Compared with them, Yu Dayou, who was only hereditary to the Quanzhou Weibai House, had a relatively low starting point.
Therefore, Qi Jiguang was appointed as the commander of Dengzhou Guard before he became an adult, and Lu Tong became the commander of Fujian Town. Although Yu Dayou was not regarded as a military man, he had a great ups and downs on the road to becoming the deputy general of Zhejiang and had a lot of hardships.
But this experience also helped Yu Dayou to be calm and extremely tenacious in dealing with things.
At the door of the room, Qian Yuan leaned against the wall and listened quietly to the noise in the room. It seemed that General Yu had not spoken, and could only hear the quarrel between the messenger and his personal soldiers who had just arrived.
It became more and more intense, and insults were heard everywhere. Qian Yuan might have heard a few unintelligible words.
"That was the guard that Zhifu took in the quelling of the rebellion." Li Liangqin explained in a low voice: "Zhifu killed the local thief leader and was kind to him. Later, he kept guarding him and never left a little."
Lu Bin, who was beside him, whispered a few swear words. This was natural. On this issue, he must be on Yu Dayou's side.
A quarter of an hour ago, Yu Dayou had just woken up, and Li Liangqin had just gone in and reported a few words. The messenger sent by the Governor's Office happened to arrive.
The Japanese pirates who captured Yuhang have retreated, but Jiaxing Prefecture is already in ruins, Tongxiang is in danger, the Jiaxing section of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou has been cut off, at least five towns have been looted by Japanese pirates, three of which were slaughtered, and the city was slaughtered, and Zhejiang was shattered.
Although he knew about Yu Dayou's defeat, Tu Dashan asked Yu Dayou to gather his soldiers to lift the siege of Tongxiang without saying a word.
In Lu Bin's opinion, those literati are all like birds, and they don't regard military generals as human beings. General Yu was injured and bedridden. Do you still have to make people work hard?
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Qian Yuan was really impatient. It was not that he didn't have the patience to wait, but there were so many things outside that he knew whether the Japanese pirates would appear outside the city next moment, so why would he have a verbal lawsuit at this time?
"Crack."
Hearing the door being pushed open, Yu Dayou turned around and saw a young man with a faint expression walking in, Li Liangqin and Lu Bin standing behind him.
"Money...Money..." The messenger was stunned. He had been in the Governor's yamen for more than two years, so he naturally knew Qian Yuan, who often appeared in the Governor's yamen last year.
It seemed that Qian Yuan didn't hear it. He walked a few steps to the bed and took the letter and looked at it a few times, and at the same time he was blinking out, "Go out."
The house that was still noisy just now became quiet, and the messenger's eyes were circling around and couldn't make up his mind.
Qian Yuan handed the letter back casually and turned his head to glance, "The journey from Chongde to Tongxiang is not too far, but it is not close either. Once you meet Japanese pirates again on the road..."
"This is all a matter of possibility." The messenger's eyes dodged.
"It's right." Qian Yuan agreed and turned to look at Lu Bin, "Appoint this person... the surname Fang... to arrange a horse and let him go for a trip first."
The messenger opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. As a servant of the governor's yamen, he naturally knew what kind of storm this Songjiang scholar stirred up in Hangzhou City last year.
Lu Bin nodded expressionlessly, and Li Liangqin beside him couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth and showed an ugly smile.
After thinking about it in his mind, Qian Yuan took a while to look up at the helpless messenger, "Hmm?"
The messenger immediately went out in shame, regardless of the personal soldiers behind him, and cursed a few more swear words.
"General Yu." Qian Yuan turned around and bowed.
"This is..." Lu Bin was about to introduce, but Yu Dayou had already waved his hand to interrupt, "This is naturally the Qian family Yingjie who was praised by the King of Zhenchuan in Jiading. Thank you this time."
"It's just a little bit of trouble." Qian Yuan shook his head, "That person who is just ill and seeks medical treatment. As long as General Yu is still there and the flag is not falling, the Japanese pirates will not dare to be unscrupulous."
"But will the Chief Secretary in the future?" Li Liangqin was worried.
"No." Qian Yuan replied simply: "Yuhang was attacked and Jiaxing Prefecture was corrupt. Tu Dashan was responsible for leaving his life and exiled to the frontier."
Yu Dayou, who was being helped by his personal soldiers to drink medicine, frowned and swallowed the bitter medicine juice, sighed: "This defeat..."
"When there is a day of resurrection, even the court will hold the charge accountable, which will only make the adults guilty." Qian Yuan immediately interfered, "Is it right?"
Yu Dayou glanced at him and saw the young man in front of him calm and confident.
My family knows his family affairs, and the responsibility for this defeat is largely due to the Governor's Office. As long as he does not send troops to Tongxiang without any injuries, the biggest blame can only be to slaughter Dashan to take it.
But what Yu Dayou is wondering is why Qian Yuan is so confident that he will not be imprisoned and will be able to recover soon?
After vaguely speaking, Yu Dayou was already drowsy and barely supported him: "Chongde County... I've been asking you two in the past few days."
Although Yu Dayou was already asleep, and there were seven or eight personal soldiers in the house, everyone knew who he was referring to.
He looked at Lu Bin and Qian Yuan with complicated eyes, and Li Liangqin bowed and bowed, "Please ask both of you."
"Do your own affairs." Lu Bin reminded his personal soldiers and the doctor who entered the house to take good care of Yu Dayou, pulled Qian Yuan out of the house, and asked in a low voice: "Why did General Yu recover?"
"So what if you defeat the war these days?" Qian Yuan snorted, "As long as you have a backer in the court, you can turn big things into small things."
"backing?"
"Yes, I'm very supportive in the court."
Lu Bin hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "Who?"
"Anyway, it's very big. Why do you ask so many questions... want to climb up?"
"Cough cough." A violent cough came from behind.
"Uh...Mr. Li." Lu Bin turned around and nodded embarrassedly.
Compared with the helpless Lu Bin, Qian Yuan was much more calm and smiled and opened the topic, "Mr. Li, have you counted it?"
"Well, there are still ninety-seven people who can still get up. The reward of silver has been obtained, and the morale is a little excited." Li Liangqin did not raise his eyes and said in a muffled voice: "Most of the weapons are still there, even the bows and arrows are lost."
"It's all handed over to Lu Bin, with about 400 soldiers, and the hiring of about 700 local tyrants." Qian Yuan estimated in his mind and asked tentatively: "It should be no big problem to defend the city, right?"
"Well, the Japanese pirates have never liked to attack cities, but the walls of Chongde County are low..." Lu Bin hesitated, "I have to make a total of one or two."
"You are responsible, and listen to the opinions of the personal soldiers next to General Yu... It seems that his surname is Zhou?" Qian Yuan nodded, "I will lend you Wang Yi to you."
"Okay, he is a veteran of the battle formation." Lu Bin breathed and strode away.
Li Liangqin looked back at Yu Dayou's temporary residence, then turned around and whispered: "Actually, Zhifu..."
"It's a good thing to have a backer, is it a shame?" Qian Yuan shrugged, "In addition to the border troops, can the mainland of Ming Dynasty still find generals standing side by side with General Yu?"
"you mean……"
"Safe."
After looking at Li Liangqin with a stiff face, Qian Yuan stepped towards the county government, and there were still many things to be done later.
