Chapter 254 Taizhou (1)

From Qian Zheng, Qian Yuan’s uncle and nephew, Gao Gong officially expanded his strength and was eager to try it out. Yan Song and Xu Jie were old. Gao Gong knew that as long as King Yu ascended the throne, he would probably jump up.

Qian Yuan, who was taken into the pit by Qian Zheng, didn't know what was ahead, but at least he knew that in the long run, the result would not be worse.

A lot of things happened on New Year’s Eve this year. From a certain perspective, history has embarked on another path from here.

The description of both civil and military affairs is relatively common in this era, but it is difficult to be recognized by general public. One of the major reasons is that the different paths of civil and military affairs are.

Qian Yuan, a juren, was praised by both civil and military officials, but Yu Dayou, who could recite poems and essays with literati, could not. Although their poetry and prose level was higher than Qian Yuan... Of course, this was under the premise that Qian Yuan did not cheat.

The reason is obvious. Qian Yuan belongs to the civil servant system, and Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang belongs to the military general system.

From this perspective, in the past two years, there have been several outstanding people with both civil and military status. In addition to Qian Yuan, Cao Bangfu, Dong Bangzheng and Wang Chonggu are all outstanding.

But there is one person who must be ahead of them. Although his official rank may not be higher than that of them, this person is Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou.

Since the 30th year of Jiajing, Taizhou has been the most severely invaded by Japanese pirates. Japanese pirates came and went almost freely, and this situation continued until Tan Lun was transferred to Taizhou magistrate.

Tan Lun, a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing, took office as the head of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites in the second year, and was transferred to the position of Fangsi of the Ministry of War four years later. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, he took over the mess in Taizhou.

So far, it has been three years since the Japanese pirates come and go freely, and now that the Japanese pirates do not gather their troops and dare not go ashore, Tan Lun has made great contributions. This deterrent force was obtained by him using his naked upper body to drag a knife to rush forward.

What Shilin admired the most was that Tan Lun trained an army with a small number of people, extraordinary combat power, and strict discipline.

When Japanese pirates fight, they often throw money and beauties on the ground, attracting officers and soldiers to rob, and then break the enemy with one sentence.

But this trick is useless in Taizhou.

In addition, Tan Lun also used a plan in a battle, and officers and soldiers robbed finances. He led his personal soldiers to bypass the Japanese pirates, burned 30 ships, and finally defeated 800 Japanese pirates and beheaded 300. This was the second only to the great victory of Shaoxing last year.

Nowadays, this sentence is circulated among Japanese pirates, "Songjiang Qian, Taizhou Tan, Snake'er's mouth, tail back needle."

Surprisingly, Tan Lun was murderous when he went into battle, holding a knife and a gun, and leading the way. He once wore a Liu Chuang and could not get off the city wall, but at other times, he was gentle and kind, talking about poetry and essays, fond of opera, and even wrote lyrics himself.

There was a slutty tone on the stage, and Tan Lun shouted loudly, "Okay!"

The surroundings immediately cheered. On New Year's Eve, Tan Lun personally invited the most famous opera troupe in Zhejiang, calling it a name for fun with the people.

Tang Shun's face was unexpected. He knew that this colleague was fascinated by everything, and he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, trained troops himself, and watched the show.

Tan Lun also sang a few lines in person and said with a smile: "Zhejiang Haiyan accent has a tone, and it has the same effect as the Yiyang accent in Gandi."

Tang Shunzhi's face looked even more ugly. If he hadn't said that there was something important to talk about tonight, he would have wanted to leave.

In fact, Tan Lun later brought the Haiyan tune back to his hometown in Jiangxi, Yihuang, and merged with the Yiyang tune to form a new singing tune, which was later called "Yihuang tune".

"Huh?" Tang Shunzhi saw someone riding a horse outside and whispered: "Qi Yuanjing is here."

In response to Tang Shunzhi, he shouted loudly, "Okay!"

Tan Lun, who was pulled his sleeves hard, finally woke up, walked out with a dry smile, greeted people from time to time, walked into the government office, and couldn't help but look back at the stage at the door.

"It has been sent to the backyard." Qi Jiguang said softly and was about to retreat.

Tan Lun pulled Qi Jiguang, "There is no need to avoid this matter. Yuan Jing will need to pass on the message later."

"Yes, I went to the military camp the day before yesterday and Yuan Jing trained a good soldier." Tang Shunzhi turned his head and looked at Tan Lun, "It is stronger than Taizhou soldiers."

Although he had only been in office for more than half a month, Qi Jiguang led more than a thousand Yiwu soldiers to strangle two small groups of Japanese pirates in succession, wiped out all the enemy troops, and had no casualties. This incident has spread throughout Taizhou Prefecture.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Tan Lun laughed and led his head into the study, poured four cups of tea, "Yuan Jing, bring someone."

Looking at Qi Jiguang's back as he left, Tang Shunzhi took a sip of tea and said as if nothing had happened: "Speaking of this, Taizhou, Shaoxing, Yanzhou and Jinhua have recruited new troops in recent years, but the Yiwu soldiers trained by Yuan Jing were indeed the first-class strong soldiers, which was comparable to the Qian family's guards."

Tan Lun snorted and said nothing.

"No wonder." Tang Shunzhi continued: "I heard from Yuan Jing that last year he and Zhancai spent New Year's Eve at the Hangzhou Food Park. Zhancai lent out the guard leader and dozens of guards, and wrote a letter to Zhejiang Inspector Wu Weixi, so that Yuan Jingcai can train such a strong army in Yiwu."

Seeing that Tan Lun was still silent, Tang Shunzhi refused to laugh and said, "Speaking of this, Zhan Cai's vision is really a top-notch. Yuan Jing was just a guerrilla general that day, and had no military achievements, but he strongly recommended him to go to Yiwu to recruit soldiers and train troops."

Tan Lun finally couldn't help it, "Last year, Japanese pirates attacked Hangzhou, Qi Yuanjing captured 400 prisoners..."

Tan Lun stopped talking halfway through the Linpingshan Battle last year. The first contribution was Hu Zongxian, who strongly advocated the attack, followed by Qi Jiguang, the general in charge of the army. But in fact, everyone in Zhejiang knows who the credit was.

After pausing, Tan Lun said again: "The strong army in Taizhou is not only Yiwu soldiers, but the Chuzhou soldiers led by the guerrilla general Lu Bin are also considered strong soldiers."

"That's true." Tang Shunzhi nodded, "Lu Bin and Zhan Cai are life-and-death friends. Jiading and Chongde fought side by side. Zhan Cai presided over the overall situation, and Lu Bin charged in the battle... By the way, Lu Bin was training troops in Chuzhou and borrowed people from Zhan Cai."

Tan Lun just wants to turn over the table now!

You can lend it to Qi Jiguang and Lu Bin, why didn’t you expect your uncle?

They are also practicing troops in the rear, and your uncle, I fight bloody battles on the front line!

Tan Lun's heart is quite complicated for this nephew whom he only met ten years ago.

I just took office as the prefect of Taizhou. Ligang was destroyed and Japanese pirates rose up. Taizhou, which was the hardest hit area of ​​Japanese pirates, was like a naked girl in the cold wind, trembling!

He also hoped that the governor's yamen would send troops to help, but Lu Tong and Yu Dayou led their troops north... After the rumors were rumored that it was his nephew's idea, Tan Lun really wanted to find Qian Yuan to talk about the past with a knife.

Why did my sister raise such a thing?

Three years passed by, Qian Yuan’s reputation rose. Tan Lun gave up the past with a little comfort, but soon he discovered that the name Qian Yuan could not get around.

Look around, Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, Lu Bin, Yu Dayou, Lu Tong, who were a little further away, Wu Baipeng, the Zhejiang inspector who came to Taizhou for inspection more than ten days ago, and even Hu Zongxian, the Zhejiang governor and Zhejiang governor who came to Taizhou a month ago. Each of them was a close friend of his nephew, and each praised his nephew very much.

The study was silent, Tan Lun kept silent with a stern face, and the good mood he had just watched the show was gone. Tang Shunzhi smiled and slowly tasted tea.

The knock on the door shattered the calm. Qi Jiguang walked in first, giving up a burly middle-aged man behind him.

This man wore a straw raincoat and black clothes. He had a calm momentum that was not despised while walking.

"Long time no see." The visitor took off his straw hat and showed a dark face with a national font.

Tan Lun took a few steps, bowed his hands, but couldn't help but hugging the visitor, "Second brother..."

Tang Shunzhi and Qi Jiguang on the side were both a little stunned. The former only knew the most secret talk tonight, but he didn't know that the person came was Tan Lun's second brother.
