Chapter five hundred and twentieth five needles hidden in cotton
Although it was sunny, the sky was gloomy and it seemed that a storm was coming.
It is better to be early rather than late. Qian Yuan and his group rode their horses and rushed to Ninghai, took a boat to Xiangshan Port and headed north, and arrived at the back of Dinghai at dusk that day.
The next day, I changed my military horses and headed north again, and arrived in Zhenhai in the afternoon.
Looking at the awning with his hands, although he could only see the coastline from afar, Qian Yuan knew that Ligang was not far from the sea in that direction. Many years ago, Ligang, which had witnessed the flames in the darkness, destroyed Ligang, which caused many years of Japanese turmoil.
"Show talent, go to the city." Wang Yin, who came out of the city to greet him, smiled and said, "The Governor held a banquet in the city, and all his talents were welcomed by old friends."
"Oh?" Qian Yuan had a faint smile on his face, "Why is that guy Luo Longwen here?"
"Zhancai, you open your mouth!" Zheng Ruozeng, who was beside him, said angrily: "I really wish I could sew it with a needle!"
Among Hu Zongxian's staff, Luo Longwen was the only one who was incompatible with Qian Yuan and the only one who strongly agreed to go to war with Wang Zhi.
But no matter what Luo Longwen is, Hu Zongxian cannot drive him away... This is Yan Song and Yan Shifan.
He urged the horse to pass the city gate and headed west under Wang Yin's guidance. In front of him was a straight road. At the end of the road was a big mansion. There was a head twitching. A famous man in a Confucian shirt and a general in a war robe. At the front was Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Zhizhi in purple robe.
Zheng Ruozeng clearly heard Qian Yuan snorting, and his disdain was beyond words. Before, Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian fought openly and secretly, but now the dust has settled, and Hu Zongxian personally went out to greet him as the governor.
Today, Hu Zongxian made great efforts and gave Qian Yuan a lot of face. Civil officials and military generals and famous scholars from the southeast gathered together.
Qian Yuan glanced away from a distance and couldn't help but curl up a trace of his mouth. He was all acquaintances!
In addition to the Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng, who was supposed to be present, the military generals came from Zhejiang General Yu Dayou, Zhejiang Deputy General Lu Tong, Ning Shaotai General Lu Bin, civil officials had Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun, who arrived two days ago, Tongzhi, and Shaoxing magistrate Mei Shoude.
Qian Yuan turned over and dismounted, and several military officers wearing soft armored next to him quickly came over and knelt on one knee for the leaders to salute. Yang Wen, Zhang San and Zhou Ze all performed well in the Shangyu victory. In the past half month, they searched Yu Kou and made great achievements.
Yang Wen and Zhou Ze are the best. Qi Jiguang has been targeting him for a long time. Qi Jimei refused to let him go... In just a few days, Qi Jiguang was beaten up by Qi Jiguang in the name of playing against the legacy.
"Get up." Qian Yuan shouted lightly, "I don't use my brain when doing things!"
Zhang San laughed a few times, stood up and looked back at the many colleagues behind him, all of whom were middle-level generals, including Lu Bin, Qi Jimei, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, and two wolf soldiers leaders. Qian Yuan even saw Li Liangqin who was stroking his beard and smiling.
After saying hello a few times, Qian Yuan pointed at Zhou Ze and cursed with a smile: "You guy is lucky enough to escape into the army, otherwise you will be given ten or eight pairs of shoes to wear this time!"
Liang Sheng and Peng Feng behind him both looked a little weird, and they handed a strange look at Zhou Ze.
"Zhancai, let's talk about old love later, let's do the important things first." Li Liangqin frowned.
"Mr. Liangqin is saying." Qian Yuan laughed, waved his hand and let everyone push it away, and walked forward.
Hu Zongxian's smile on his face not far away was a little stiff. He didn't think that the young man opposite had no reason for such rude behavior.
"Zhan Cai is so angry..." Mei Shoude snorted, "You don't care if you don't care!"
Tan Lun smiled bitterly...I can't control him.
He turned his head and looked at Hu Zongxian's face. Tan Lun couldn't help but sigh for him in his heart. A month ago, the words of his nephew Yun Danfengqing seemed to echo in his ears again.
"I don't know what's up... Qian will tell him Hu Ruzhen that I can get him to be promoted to the Governor of Zhejiang and Zhi, and I can also knock him out of dust!"
Many of the officials present are still confused, but Tan Lun knows it in his mind. In fact, Qian Yuan has done it.
This is also the reason why Tan Lun sighed for Hu Zongxian.
Hu Zongxian's foundation in the court cannot be compared with Qian Yuan. Most of the civil and military officials in the southeast have a good relationship with Qian Yuan. Qi Jiguang, Lu Bin, and Qi Jimei, who have the strongest combat power, have Qian Yuan as their backing. Even Qi Jimei and Lu Bin's troops are basically built with the Qian family guards as their skeleton.
Today, many generals and officials of the general level welcomed each other, nakedly showing Qian Yuan's control over the southeast army... It was not just about being intimate with the chief generals of the army, but his influence spread deeply.
Tan Lun and Tang Shunzhi all have a common view. If Qian Yuan had not been in office for too short and had too shallow qualifications, he would be the most suitable candidate for the Governor of Zhejiang Province... In fact, Hu Zongxian also had the same view in his heart.
Seeing this young man who had made me admire him and now was afraid of him, Hu Zongxian smiled and said, "You are looking forward to it, how could Zhan Talent come later?"
"Brother Ruzhen's words are very wrong." Qian Yuan said seriously: "There is Brother Ruzhen in the southeast who controls the overall situation. He has famous generals under his command, and many famous scholars help each other, and only Brother Xi is the assistant, which is enough."
The first half of the sentence made Hu Zongxian tighten his face. After hearing the second half, Hu Zongxian's heart was restored to his stomach... At least, the guy in front of him was not here to destroy the situation.
"Hahaha, Zhan Cai is too humble." Hu Zongxian held Qian Yuan's hand intimately and laughed: "Who in the world doesn't know the name of Zhan Talent, and who in the southeast doesn't know the importance of Zhan Talent!"
Qian Yuan smiled and pulled out his hand... There was no handshake gift these days. He stepped forward and bowed in a row, and the opposite side was immediately in chaos.
Although he is a junior, although he is young, he is a Jinshi from both lists and is a Zhejiang Inspector Censor. He has such a weight in the southeast that Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian had to go with the wishes. This ceremony is not something that everyone can afford.
Even the Zhejiang General Yu Dayou, known as Yu Long and Qi Hu, and the Zhejiang Deputy General Qi Jiguang, had to sideways to avoid, let alone Lu Bin, Hou Jigao, Qi Jimei and others.
It is easier to deal with military generals, so they avoid them all, and the chaos actually comes from the civil servants.
For example, Ningbo Prefect Zhou Xizhe was looking around and about to avoid him, but he ran into Mei Shoude who was rushing backwards. For example, Shen Mingchen was about to pull his nephew away, but he ran into Tang Shunzhi who was still moving.
After a brief chaos, everyone's eyes fell on the two of them. One was the Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng, who had been in the southeast for many years ago, and the other was Qian Yuan's uncle, Taizhou governor Tan Lun.
The former has the highest official position, while the latter is Qian Yuan’s in-law elder.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Baipeng and Tan Lun went out in parallel, with the former returning gifts, while the latter... were a little unhappy. Now when it comes to Tan Lun in the southeast, the most conspicuous label is, oh oh, it is Qian Zhancai's uncle.
After a few casual greetings, Qian Yuan walked up to someone and saluted solemnly, "I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, and I still have to thank Mr. Beishan."
The man slightly sideways and avoids the gift, and smiles: "In the past, Zhan Cai did not keep such a polite manner."
This sentence means something. This person is Dong Bangzheng, the general of Wusong and the assistant to the Haidang Defense Road of Susong, with his courtesy name Keping and his pseudonym Beishan.
Qian Yuan is a Jinshi on two lists, and Dong Bangzheng was only a scholar and also transferred to a military position. If you are more polite, just say "Brother Keping" and Mr. Keping, but Qian Yuan is called "Brother Keping" and "Mr. Keping" with his name, but Qian Yuan is extremely polite.
Although Qian Yuan also explained the reason in his words, after all, as a native of Songjiang, he relied on Dong Bang's political protection to protect his hometown. It is reasonable to be polite, but something is wrong with being so polite.
"There is a reason for this kind of etiquette." Qian Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Longquan once said that the elite of the Southeast Bird Gun is Songjiang..."
"Okay, okay, Hou Jigao, right?" Dong Bangzheng pretended to be angry and said, "It's okay to grab people from Songjiang again and again, even craftsmen rob them. I tell you where did Hou Longquan get the courage? It turns out that Zhan Cai supported him!"
Everyone laughed, but some people, like Hu Zongxian, were aware of it. It seemed that Songjiang and Zhejiang were looking across the sea from north to south. Dong Bangzheng and Qian Yuan rarely met, but the two were very close.
Last year in Beijing, Qian Yuan's merciless former Songjiang Promoter Wu Shilai was torn off his face and stood up for Dong Bangzheng. This matter has long been spread throughout the Southeast... How could Dong Bangzheng not be grateful to Qian Yuan?
Hu Zongxian felt too helpless when he saw this scene. No wonder Dong Bangzheng jumped out a few days ago to embarrass himself.
However, Hu Zongxian also understood why Qian Yuan gave such a solemn ceremony. In the discussions later, under normal circumstances, military generals were not allowed to enter. Qian Yuan was telling Hu Zongxian that although Dong Bangzheng was the general of Wusong, he had to enter the discussions.
Overall, the scene was quite peaceful, but Hu Zongxian could feel that under Qian Yuan's smiling face, the gentle tone had an undetectable meaning.
