Chapter fifty-nine: ugly times, ugly things, ugly luck
Time returns to the ugly time, Yangzhou City.
There were a lot of volunteers sleeping outside the government office, and the salt and salt tyrants were strong.
The mansion master Wu Guifang and the inspector Wu Yaoshan walked out of the government office. Looking at the people sleeping all over the ground, they couldn't help but sigh. Wu Guifang was worried, and Wu Yaoshan was anxious.
Seeing Wu Fuzun, he sighed. Wu Yaoshan next to him stomped his feet, thinking that Wu Fuzun is really... really... really good old man.
After all, he didn't complain about Wu Guifang being a useless person. After all, Wu Guifang was able to support him. If he changed to a prefect, he would be a good opportunity to give you a chance to counsel on military affairs. He would still want to delegate power directly? It was a dream.
"The Lord of the Palace, the subordinates will inspect and prevent Japanese pirates from attacking the city at night." Wu Yaoshan bowed to Wu Guifang.
Wu Fuzun was anxious and had two big bubbles on the corner of his mouth. He felt pain as soon as he spoke. He said vaguely: "Yaoshan, there is Zhang Shizhou's home guard on the street. His subordinate Li Chunsheng used to be a border army and killed more than 70 people..."
Wu Yaoshan could still feel the care in his words, and he said immediately: "The servant is young and strong, but the servant is still going to rest for a while. The Japanese pirates may not retreat in three or five days. The situation in Yangzhou City must also grasp the overall situation."
Wu Guifang sighed when she heard this, reached out to touch her beard, but accidentally touched the corner of her mouth, and her mouth was crooked for a moment. Wu Yaoshan smiled and bowed again, and walked out of the government office with five or six soldiers.
He casually patrolled the street, walked one street, and walked to the side of the Little Qinhuai River. Seeing that the place where light was originally brightly lit at night was now only a few sparse places, he couldn't help but sigh.
By the way, when he had just arrived in Yangzhou, local gentry took turns to invite him to the side of the Xiao Qinhuai River [Comment on Qunfang], which was very pleasant. He also commented on a few of the twelve golden flowers in the Xiaodongmen, and thought that the peony was particularly gorgeous and beautiful.
At that time, he commented on the peony: The small spiral heart crown is gradually red and tight, and the large spiral heart crown is deep red, with leaves piled up, and the top is divided into four or five spirals, and its yellow clusters are densely clustered. In all, small leaves and large leaves are beautiful and beautiful, which can be crowned with all kinds of fragrance. Therefore, all the roots are derived, cleansed with sweet springs, and then exploit the old and hard old roots, which erode the new buds... Therefore, the flowers are not successful, and the two strands are small but uncomfortable, and they are not divided into too many pieces, which are all diseases of flowers. The depth of the color of the flowers and the prosperity of the leaves are all due to the power of exploitation. Therefore, the pulmonary principle does not go up and they all return to the roots, and the new flowers are flourishing next year and the color is moist.
It is said that Shaoyao has a sister, Rose, who is also amazing. It’s a pity that I haven’t commented on it.
The yamen soldier next to him was carrying a lantern. Seeing the master standing by the river, he shook his head and couldn't help but say, "The master is really worried about Yangzhou City..."
Wu Yaoshan didn't flatter the soldiers of Liya soldiers, lifted up his robe, and peed by the river...
He had just tucked his robe and ran two or three people from the north. When he saw him, he was overjoyed, "Governor, Lord Master of the Mansion, please go back to the government office soon... It is said that the head of the Nanjing Ministry of War led Yizhengwei from Gongchen Gate to Yangzhou, please go back quickly."
Wu Yaoshan was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his robe and didn't care about his authority. He ran away. The soldiers behind him quickly chased after him.
Wu Yaoshan was panting, but he saw a lot of soldiers standing at the yamen, and there were signs of [Nanjing Ministry of War] [Inspector Jiangbei Military Affairs], but he couldn't help but want to laugh. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the cool breeze at night choked into his lungs, and the alveolar that was running hot was choked. He immediately coughed and blushed. The soldiers next to him rushed up to caress his back. He said he didn't care and said repeatedly: "Hurry... cough cough... help me, help me in..."
After entering the government office, there were about a dozen generals and schoolmen standing on both sides, all of whom were holding their heads and chests. There was a green robe in the middle, but he was still wearing a half-body armor of a Folang Jiren, and a long sword was hanging around his waist. He was talking to the prefect Wu Guifang. The magistrate next to him was sleepy and did not dare to lose his manners in front of Shangguan. He tried his best to cover his mouth and yawn.
When Wu Guifang saw Wu Yaoshan coming in, she greeted him with a happy look on her face, "Yaoshan, come and see Mr. Tang Jingchuan. Mr. is the first in the eighth year of Jiajing exam..."
When Wu Yaoshan heard this, he immediately stepped forward respectfully and bowed respectfully, "I have met Mr. Jingchuan and admired Mr. Jingchuan for a long time. I will meet him today and have the honor of his three lives."
Tang Jingchuan, who had a fair face, had a short beard under his jaw. He looked only in his early thirties, but the officialdom was of high school. Tang Jingchuan was the first in the imperial examination in the eighth year of Jiajing. He also entered the Hanlin Academy and had experienced the qualifications to crush Wu Guifang and Wu Yaoshan. If he had not offended Zhang Cong and Zhang Ge, he resigned and went home to live in vain, he might have entered the cabinet now. So although Wu Guifang was wearing a blush robe, he would have called him the senior when he saw this first-class robe official in the imperial examination.
"Brother Yaoshan." Tang Jingchuan reached out and helped him with vain, "Justice Wu's servant said that you were arbitrarily in military affairs..."
Wu Yaoshan's face suddenly turned pale, "Junior, frightened."
"Oh!" Tang Jingchuan said immediately, "Zheng said, be kind, don't let the army go. You are very good at breaking. It is a great victory to fight a one-on-one battle with the Japanese pirates. I also want to report your achievements to Master Yan, so why are you afraid... Haha!"
At this time, Wu Guifang and Tang Maojing both tried their best to wink at Wu Yaoshan, and naturally meant to let him follow this.
However, although Wu Yaoshan is a stubborn and conceited person, he is still young after all. He is embarrassed to talk lies with his eyes open. He blushed and said, "The Lord is ashamed..."
As he said that, he told the whole story. When Tang Jingchuan heard this, he immediately said, but he didn't believe it very much. He was a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, and was a paper, the eight great talents of Jiajing, three great masters, and the world flattered him as a master of his generation and wrote the book "Martial Edition" (Note 1).
Naturally, this kind of person does not believe that there are people who are better than themselves, let alone the words of a seventeen-year-old boy killing hundreds of them.
In his opinion, it was naturally that the Western Shang bravely fought hard. The young man might have some martial arts skills, and he was also the son and nephew of the leader of the Western Shang Dynasty. It was normal for Zhang Shizhou to support him, so the Western Shang Dynasty hero's achievements were counted on the young man.
He smiled at the moment, "No matter what, if you command it, you will always achieve success."
Seeing Tang Jingchuan say this, Wu Yaoshan had to bow again, "The officials are ashamed."
Tang Jingchuan said at this time, "The Japanese pirates are not three heads and six arms. As long as the soldiers use their lives, they will naturally be able to defeat them. I want to attack tonight, what do Yaoshan think?"
He asked, but in fact, it was not a tone of negotiation at all. Wu Yaoshan also knew very well. He was the head of the Ministry of War and inspected the military affairs of Jiangbei. As an inspector, he was the old senior, just be polite and don't take it seriously.
Seeing that Wu Yaoshan agreed, Tang Jingchuan was also very happy. After all, everyone agreed and insisted on going to war. There is still a big difference. He passed the Jinshi at the age of 23. He was arrogant and unruly back then and refused to flatter Mr. Zhang, which led to his idleness at home for several years and was almost bad. Fortunately, Zhao Meicun recommended him in the same year, and then he became an official again. Now he is mature and knows how to unite the comrades around him.
"So." He turned to look at Wu Guifang, "Are there any brave men under your command?"
He means that if there is anyone in your bag that you want to promote? If you lift it out, you will definitely win this battle and you will be able to share the achievements at that time.
Wu Guifang smiled bitterly when she heard this, "I dare not finish the appointment with Mr. Jingchuan. Now Yangzhou commander is seriously injured. There is an idle old general, but he is 80 years old. He went to fight yesterday and made a lot of achievements, but he is afraid he has no energy at this time. However, Li Chunsheng, the coach of Zhang Shizhou, the General Administration of Salt Merchants, is from a border army. He once killed more than 70 times and has been leading the team to suppress the place to prevent cunning and gangsters from taking the opportunity to cause trouble..."
When Tang Jingchuan heard this, he was fine. Since he was from a border army, he was an old corps, who knew how to enforce orders and was the coach of the Western Shang Yang, which was convenient for him to use. He nodded immediately, "No need to delay, set off immediately."
"Sir, why not rest for one night, fight again tomorrow..." At this time, the judge Tang Maojing flattered. Unfortunately, he slapped the horse's leg, and Tang Jingchuan immediately glared and said, "I happened to be inspecting military affairs in Yizhengwei yesterday. Bu Guan, the leader of the Cao Gang, took a quick boat to report the Japanese pirates' pirates, and immediately ordered the army to come here at night. Is it to rest? Even if I am willing, my soldiers will not, the soldiers will not, and the loyal heroes of the Cao Gang will not...
After saying this, Tang Maojing turned red and bowed repeatedly, and the officials knew that they were wrong.
Tang Jingchuan snorted. Although Wu Guifang had no great skills, he did not pretend to understand. In fact, it was a skill. Moreover, as a bureaucrat, he was actually qualified. He immediately called the fast-legged yamen soldiers to look for Li Chunsheng.
Suddenly, Li Chunsheng led about twenty Western Shangs in, arrived in front of him, and knelt down, "I'm not good at Li Chunsheng, I've seen the master."
Tang Jingchuan saw him like this, and was a little surprised, "What? Have you seen me?"
"Bei Zhi used to be the chief of the border army, and once followed the general and grandfather to the official office of the Ministry of War in Beijing. At that time, the master was a doctor in the Ministry of War. Bei Zhi and the general and grandfather kowtowed to the master..." Li Chunsheng was respectful.
If Kang Fei saw him, he would definitely criticize him as a slave who had been kneeling for a long time and didn't know how to stand up. However, this did form a hidden relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Ming Dynasty, which can be called [subordinates]. If he is thick-skinned, he will rush up and hug his thighs and shout, "I am the master's disciple who has been born in his family for many years, and his family will give you an errand." The master will naturally have to give you an errand.
After hearing what he said, Tang Jingchuan said, this was his own person, so he was very relieved, so he asked him to lead the sleeping brave and Ding Zhuang outside, and to join his subordinates in Yizhengwei and Caogang's righteous men, totaling more than 6,000.
He came from Yizhengwei and used boats, most of which were small fast boats with the Caogang transportation capacity, and it was very convenient to walk the river, so he prepared to leave the city from Shuitu Gate in the south.
Wu Yaoshan accompanied Tang Jingchuan out of the city. When he arrived at the Shuiguanlong's head, he saw Zhu Qi, the deputy thousand-household who was guarding the city gate, and he was immediately angry. He originally thought that Zhu Qi was worthy of promotion, but now it seems that he really can't go to the banquet. He shouted loudly, "Bastard, you are a deputy thousand-household, what kind of trait is it to dodge?"
As he said, he walked up and slapped Zhu Qi with a big mouth. Unexpectedly, Zhu Qi reached out to hold his wrist and twisted his arm behind him. One hand directly stuck his neck, pinching him to the point of redness.
"Don't come over." The beads of sweat as big as beans on Zhu Qi's face dripped down his chin.
Not far away, Wang Zhi sighed. Zhu Qi was really a scattered person. In this panic, he showed himself a lot. It seems that the big thing was not done... He is a person who made great decisions when facing things. Although his original trick was inexplicably destroyed, it was not a pity that he immediately pulled away and hid into the darkness.
Note 1: Tang Jingchuan was known as a great man in the Ming Dynasty and both civil and military channels. However, he read the martial arts compilation of his martial arts writing [selecting hundreds of warriors from all the soldiers to dance swords, all of whom can throw swords in the air and jump from their bodies to carry them on their left and right. He was extremely wonderful. He was the envoy of the Northern Rong to cultivate tribute and was given a banquet at the gate of the palace. He showed him a swordsman and blew his blades in, jumped in, and rushed in, and frost-sharp snow blades, flying all over the sky], which is the so-called flower technique, you can probably know his martial arts level. In addition, there are some absurd places like [Arrow Avoiding Method] [Gate of Ghost] in his military books.
This person is probably similar to Li Jinglin, the sword god of the Republic of China. He is very famous. If you look for the record carefully, you will find that there are almost no one.
