Chapter 148 Beixinguan
Xu Wei and Qian Yuan still disliked each other. The former was angry but did not leave, while the latter did not look up to him but did not drive him out.
So from the next day, there was a customer in the food garden, who was still a customer who stayed on his way to eat and drink every day, and had a bad attitude.
Regarding this, his mother, Tan, doesn't care. His uncle, Lu, was worried about this broom star... a world-famous talented man couldn't even pass the exam for a juren, so he wouldn't have led his nephew to ruin, right?
Yang Wen, Zhang San and other guard leaders were indifferent to this, and Lu Shude, who lived next door, ran here every day despite Lu Shusheng's obstruction. It is said that he wanted to learn painting with Xu Wei.
In the pavilion in the front yard, Xu Wei refuted the paintings Lu Shude brought, and from time to time he said a few harsh words while glancing at Qian Yuan.
In the past few days, Xu Wei has also figured out the background of the Songjiang case leader. The eight-legged essay is quite good, and his foundation is still solid. He is quite familiar with the various abilities of the various religions, but he can't even get the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... but he is good at it every day.
Qian Yuan took a sip of tea expressionlessly and sneered: "It doesn't matter if you learn painting, but don't learn anything else."
"What's the meaning?"
"Eat and drink every day, and have the face to point out the mulberry and scold the locust. You have to learn this virtue..." Qian Yuan turned his head and looked at Yang Wen who was walking quickly, and continued, "I'm afraid that Mr. Pingquan will beat you to death!"
After cursing for a few days, Xu Wei is now thick-skinned and his words are becoming more and more sharp. "Can you learn from you?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Learn from all sides to learn from you?" Xu Wei spat, pointed to the teacup and said to Lu Shude: "Mr. Xu is drinking Songluo tea, what is he drinking?"
"Longjing." Lu Shude blinked.
Songluo tea was sent by my uncle Qian Zheng from Huizhou, and Longjing was sent by Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian these days.
Qian Yuan was silent for a moment, turned around and smiled, "This is sent by Hu Ruzhen."
“What’s the difference?”
In the view of Zhejiang Shilin, it is hard to say whether Hu Zongxian can be completely regarded as a strict party, but they are all regarded as wearing a pair of pants with Zhao Wenhua!
"They are different." Qian Yuan touched the smooth surface of the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Actually, I admire Hu Ruzhen very much..."
"What?" Xu Wei narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then tilted his head and smiled: "I admire him for being patient and for not hesitating to dye his ink on his body, but also crawling up?"
Seeing that Yang Wen was not in a hurry to come in, Qian Yuan thought that there should be nothing urgent, so he continued: "But I admire this is not what I admire."
"Hu Ruzhen was born into a family of officials, and the Hu family in Jixi Longchuan, and his great-grandfather served as the Minister of Revenue..."
"I know him, Hu Fu, and the first year of Jiajing, what's wrong?"
Qian Yuan looked up and looked at him carefully, and Xu Wei nodded and said nothing.
"The Hu family in Longchuan is not just Hu Ruzhen, a Jinshi. Have you heard of Hu Zongming?"
Xu Wei was stunned for a moment before shook his head.
"Hu Zongming was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Jiajing, and in the twenty-year period of Jiajing, he was the censor in charge of Xuanfu, and he had a good relationship with the three-sided general system at that time."
Qian Yuan's words made Xu Wei froze there, and the teacup held by his mouth stayed in the air. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "What's next?"
"Later?" Qian Yuan turned to Yang Wen, "Mr. Zeng was killed unjustly, Xia Guixi was abandoned in the market, Hu Zongming was exiled from the capital, resigned from office and returned home, and he lived in seclusion."
This was mentioned in my uncle Qian Zheng's letter a few days ago. Qian Yuan did not expect that Hu Zongxian and Yan Song's party had such a relationship.
Yan Song's party unjustly killed Zeng Xian, and Xia Yan was powerful all over the world and only cared about beautifying the superiors. This is public revenge.
My cousin was born in a Jinshi list and finally had to retire in disgrace. This is selfishness.
Hu Zongxian abandoned his public hatred and selfishness and harshly attached himself to Zhao Wenhua. If he was just for power and just to climb up, let alone other people, even the Hu clan members would spit on him.
Climbing up does not mean just for power. In another way, there is ambition to make achievements without regard for ridicule.
Seeing Xu Wei calm down and pondering, Qian Yuan waved to Yang Wen, but before Yang Wen could come in, Zhang San trotted over.
"Have you found out? What happened?" Yang Wen asked first before explaining to Qian Yuan, "Young Master, something went wrong outside..."
"There are Japanese pirates appearing in Beixin Pass." Zhang San swallowed.
"What!" Xu Wei and Qian Yuan's faces changed at the same time and stood up suddenly.
Beixin Pass is located on the west side of Haining, between Hangzhou City and Yuhang, and is the gateway to Hangzhou City. Once the pass is broken, Japanese pirates can invade Qiantang County, the most core of Hangzhou City.
“How many people?”
"The young man just went to the government office to inquire, and the arguments were different. Some said there were only a few hundred people, some said there were thousands, and even..." Zhang San gritted his teeth, "There are rumors that... officers and soldiers were defeated in Jiaxing Prefecture, and tens of thousands of Japanese pirates went south to attack Hangzhou."
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Qian Yuan and Xu Wei spoke in unison.
"If the army is defeated, it is impossible that there will be no news." Xu Wei's judgment was relatively rational.
Qian Yuan's judgment comes from his bad impression of officers and soldiers. "If the army is defeated, if it is defeated, looking at the nearby prefectures, only Hangzhou City is qualified to accommodate the defeated soldiers. It is impossible for the Japanese pirates to arrive first."
After quickly returning to the study, Qian Yuan carefully observed the hanging map, "I remember that before Xu Hai led his troops north to attack Qingpu, he sent a small group of Japanese pirates to attack Haiyan south..."
"Is it this Japanese pirate?" Xu Wei licked his lips and pressed his right hand on the scabbard of the newly hung sword. "It should be no more than five hundred people."
"Haiyan...Haining...Yuhang...Beixinguan." Qian Yuan shook his head, "It seems that he was surrounding Wei and saving Zhao, but it could not be Xu Hai's plan."
"Of course it is impossible. Surround Wei and save Zhao... Zhang Banzhou and Li Tianchong should be in Tongxiang County now." Xu Wei sighed, "But it's also very troublesome. Those who can go to the battlefield... have been taken to Jiaxing Prefecture. Now Hangzhou Prefecture... would be fine if it were someone else, but Zhao Wenhua was afraid that he would be scared out of his courage!"
"What should I do?" Qian Yuan was also a little crazy. Hangzhou is so big, and he has a group of veteran soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. This is the rhythm of something going on!
"Of course it's an attack!" A clear shout sounded outside the door. Wang, who was already wearing soft armor, took Qi Jimei in big strides. "The Hangzhou avant-garde who stayed in Hangzhou is invincible. If there is no hope in defending the city, leading a small number of elite troops to attack is the only way."
"Do you know that the Hangzhou avant-garde is not worth fighting?" Xu Wei rolled his eyes, "Who is she? Can women even argue with the battle?"
Qian Yuan squirted without hesitation: "You know, people are much better than you, you are just a talker on paper... Okay, even if you cut a few, my sister has hundreds or eighty lives of Japanese pirates!"
Hundreds and eighty Japanese pirates' lives... This record immediately shocked Xu Wei. He had been on the battlefield and knew the combat power of the Japanese pirates. He glanced at Wang, who had a frosty face, and couldn't help but shrink back. This was probably a tigress.
"Strike..." Qian Yuan paced back and forth a few steps, looked up at the map again. In fact, if he could defend it, Qian Yuan really didn't want to attack.
According to time calculations, it is very likely that the battle was being started in Wang Jiangjing at this time. If the Ming army wins, they will be able to draw troops back to rescue and disperse the Japanese pirates.
But the problem is that it is too late.
"Young Master."
Zhang San, who was rushed to the government office to hear the news, rushed into the door, "Mr. Wang asked you to go to the government office... and Mr. Xu."
Qian Yuan nodded immediately and responded. The Governor's Office and the Governor's Office all went to Jiaxing Prefecture. The Zhejiang Inspector Wu Baipeng was even in Suzhou. Now there are only two people in charge of the city in Hangzhou, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian in pairs of pants.
"Pick up the map and take it away." Qian Yuan turned his head and told Xu Wei.
"Yang Wen, go and call the guard."
Wang Yi, who was outside the door, bowed and said, "I have packed up and I'll wait outside the door."
Qian Yuan nodded, "Sister, are you and Jimei?"
"Leave ten guards and we'll follow you."
Qian Yuan took a deep breath and walked out of the study. The damp cold air came to his face to cheer him up.
