Chapter 116 Just like that?
Nie Bao was in a bad mood, very bad.
After decades, I returned to Songjiang and saw the miserable situation of the old place being miserable, and the family was broken and the family was destroyed. Naturally, I would not feel good.
But there are other reasons why Nie Bao was in a bad mood.
Emperor Jiajing let himself go south to supervise the battle was unexpected by Nie Bao, but what he did not expect was that Emperor Jiajing had set a very clear area for himself, Songjiang Prefecture or Suzhou Prefecture, and Zhao Wenhua was released to Zhejiang.
Although he had already made up his mind not to go to Hangzhou to interfere with Zhang Jing's overall command, Nie Bao was very disappointed, disappointed that Zhang Jing actually came to Suzhou to meet... The implication is that you don't come to Hangzhou.
This is Zhang Jing’s weakness. His nature is as strong as fire but his size is slightly narrow.
So Nie Bao decided to station in Suzhou Prefecture, but unfortunately, the Suzhou prefect, Ren Huan, who was still in charge of the actual leadership, did not welcome him.
The reason is very simple. Ren Huanhuan suffered three defeats in Taihu Lake. Nie Bao once intended to transfer him away and let Wang Chonggu, deputy envoy of Changzhou military military preparations, take over. This is not a secret, and Ren Huan had known it for a long time.
Nie Bao once served as the prefect of Suzhou and had a high reputation. How could Shang Weiji accept Nie Bao stationed in Suzhou?
But Nie Bao is the kind of Virgin who is willing to sacrifice his personal consideration of the overall situation. So he returned to Songjiang Prefecture and chose Taozhai Town as his temporary resident.
"I was going to be with the bright moon, but who knew that the bright moon shone on the ditch..." Nie Bao sighed. Since Jiajing returned to the position of Minister of War in the 29th year of Jiajing, similar things have happened again and again, again and again...
"Shuangjiang Gong." Qian Yuan walked into the door and bowed, "I don't know why I was worried?"
Unfortunately, Qian Yuan tried to do his duty as an assistant, but he didn't appreciate it...
Nie Bao forced a smile, "It's coming so fast, I thought you won't come."
"How could it be?" Qian Yuan looked excited and clenched his fists: "The responsibility is to protect the hometown, and I have no choice but to do so!"
Nie Bao picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, looking at the young man talking nonstop across the street.
Qian Yuan suddenly changed his mind, "Actually, before visiting Shuangjiang Gong, I thought I was stationed in Suzhou Prefecture?"
"The Songjiang Prefecture is in front and can maintain the situation of the war without collapsing." Nie Bao responded casually: "After Songjiang lost, the Japanese pirates lingered, and they went to Tongzhou in the north, Jiaxing in the south, Suzhou in the west, and Huzhou in the west, and there was no peace."
"What I said is, what I said is." Qian Yuan continued casually: "Shuangjiang Gong stationed in Songjiang with extraordinary courage. The county people and the defenders all had a great morale. Some people originally thought that Shuangjiang Guild went to Hangzhou..."
"Your Majesty appointed me to supervise the battle in Suzhou and Songjiang." Nie Bao pointed to Qian Yuan and signaled to sit down, "There are Zhang Tingyi and Wu Baipeng in Hangzhou."
"If Shuangjiang Public has letters, I can help you." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "The younger generation in Hangzhou also has many friends."
Nie Bao narrowed his eyes and stared at Qian Yuan's eyes. After a long time, he spit out two words, "No need!"
"That's why I'm having trouble." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "By the way, Shuangjiang Gong summoned me to accompany the army to sort out the documents, and I don't know where to start?"
"Mr. Zhou has arranged a residence, not far from this residence. If there is any problem, he will call you."
The smile on Qian Yuan's face slowly faded away, and he calmly picked up the teacup and drank, "It's just that?"
Nie Bao did not continue to speak, and the study room fell into silence.
If it was just a guess before, Qian Yuan could be sure that Nie Bao summoned himself to the account and the army, with the intention of not allowing him to have any contact with Zhao Wenhua, and he was not even going to let himself participate in actual affairs.
Nie Bao thought very simply and directly. He knew the weight of this scholar in Songjiang very well. Zhao Wenhua had no military talent. If he wanted to grab a piece of credit, he had to establish a relationship with the generals in the army, and then Qian Yuan would be very useful.
Nie Bao didn't care that the stern party benefited from it. What he was afraid of was that Zhao Wenhua disrupted the overall situation of anti-Japanese war.
Just today, Nie Bao had just received a letter from Hangzhou. Zhao Wenhua, who was accused Zhejiang Governor Li Tianchong of making trouble because he was greedy for the incident. He summoned Lu Tong and Lu Bin and his son who returned to Hangzhou, and had a public fight with Zhang Jing for this.
In a word, Zhao Wenhua has a very presence in Hangzhou.
Nie Bao was even more reluctant to let Qian Yuan go to Hangzhou. The Songjiang scholar had a very close relationship with the Lu family. He was behind Lu Bin's two guards to the city. It is said that this son bowed to Qian Yuan and obeyed the order.
Although there have been speculations before, Qian Yuan was still very disappointed.
When I didn't want to do it, the Japanese pirates siege the city twice and forced me to drive the ducks on the shelves.
When I want to do it, others don’t allow it.
Master Zhou heard that there was no sound inside and looked at him. Nie Bao in the main seat looked solemn, Qian Yuan, who was sitting in the guest seat, looked indifferent, and was playing with the tea cup that had been drunk in his hand.
Turning the teacup over, Qian Yuan focused on watching the water droplets condense on the mouth of the cup and slowly landed on his clothes.
Qian Yuan's last question and the long silence afterwards proved it all.
Nie Bao had known this guy to be pretty smart, but he didn't expect that the other party would clear away the fog so quickly and see everything carefully and thoroughly.
While hesitating, Qian Yuan said, "Just the day before yesterday, my uncle was still losing his temper. He said he wanted to ask Mr. Shuangjiang to summon students who were not yet twenty years old to accompany the army. What is this rule?"
Nie Bao knew Qian Zheng's wife Lu. This was a very kind woman. After hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"But I do."
Qian Yuan put down the teacup and stood up and said, "But I can come, and others can come too, right?"
"What does this mean?"
"Whether it is to manage the logistics for officers and soldiers, organize documents for Grand Sima, or calm down and develop skills, they all need assistants." Qian Yuan said slowly: "I just hope Grand Sima allows the juniors to choose a few friends who can help."
Nie Bao frowned, "Is it necessary?"
Qian Yuan laughed, "If my younger generation did not come to Taozhai Town today, but went straight to Hangzhou, would the Grand Sima send someone to capture it?"
After pausing, Qian Yuan paced back and forth and continued: "Now, does the Grand Sima want to imprison his younger generation in Taozhai Town?"
Nie Bao's brows became tighter and tighter. He knew very well that this was the condition proposed by the other party.
Nie Bao also heard it very clearly. This son had always called "Shuangjiang Gong", but in these words he changed to "Grand Sima".
Suddenly, Nie Bao was a little uneasy. In his decades of official career, he had experienced countless similar transactions, but he had never had an opponent so young and had such a huge difference in his status.
His eyes were as calm as water, his pace was calm and his leisurely playing with the tea cup showed that the young man in front of him regarded him as his Minister of War as an equal object of transaction.
Nie Bao quickly came to his senses, "Yes, but no scholar's reputation should be achieved."
