Chapter six hundred and thirty-eight separation and assistance

On the fourth day of August, Qi Jimei and Yu Dayou defeated the thief leader Xiao Wan in Gutian County in a battle, and almost wiped out all of them. Xiao Wan led more than 100 people to escape by chance.

On the fifth day of the eighth month, Qi Jimei and Yu Dayou led their troops westward to lift the siege of Nanping, and Zhang Lian fled without fighting.

The news spread everywhere like wings. Qi Jiguang, who was suppressing the Japanese in Fuqing County, finally felt relieved. Li Mo, the former Minister of Personnel who destroyed his family and formed a village hero in Jian'an County, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Hu Zongxian, who was in Longquan, was eager to try, kicked the table down in front of all the staff!

Hate filled his mind, and Hu Zongxian blurted out, "Why are he so aggressive!"

Wang Yin, Mao Kun and others were all silent, and this sentence naturally refers to Qian Yuan.

Yu Dayou went south to Fujian and went straight to Gutian County. Qi Jimei, who started a massacre in Hou Tao Mountain more than half a month ago, also appeared in Gutian County... Obviously, this is by no means a coincidence.

Hu Zongxian said angrily: "How dare Qi Jimei cross the border!"

Wang Yin, who had been in Hou Tao Mountain for more than ten days, explained helplessly: "Qi Yuanjing was transferred to the position of Fujian General and obtained permission from the Ministry of War to recruit another 3,000 soldiers from Yiwu, Jinhua. Qi Jimei returned to Zhejiang in the name of recruiting troops."

"Bang!" Hu Zongxian threw the tea cup at his hand to the ground, and the few remaining teas were poured on Hu Zongxian's long beard, and he was in a mess for a moment.

Hu Zongxian was quite cunning and often remained calm when encountering problems. Even if he was furious, he could calm down. However, this time he was so disobedient... Gutian's victory made all his wishful thinking fail.

Before Yu Dayou entered Fujian, the situation in Fujian was in danger. Wu Baipeng was alone in Nanping, and could neither retreat to the enemy nor return to support. Xiao Wan's troops had a strong combat power. As long as he grabbed Gutian, Qi Jiguang could be attacked from both sides... Mao Kun and Hu Zongxian both speculated that in the past half month, Japanese pirates invaded Fujian's coastal areas very frequently, and Zhang Lian should have someone in it.

Qi Jimei suddenly appeared in Gutian County, defeated Xiao Wan in one fell swoop, and then joined forces with Yu Dayou to advance westward. Although Zhang Lian also occupied most of Shaowu Prefecture, most of the Tingzhou Prefecture, and a small part of Jianning Prefecture, he was obviously unable to make up for the situation.

What made Hu Zongxian most angry was that Qi Jimei went south to Gutian, and two thousand officers and soldiers could defeat Xiao Wan’s five thousand army, which was a strong army.

Qi Jimei brought back only 200 soldiers in Zhejiang, and Yiwu trained 3,000 soldiers? But they had not yet experienced the battle formation? Obviously, these two thousand soldiers must have been secretly drawn from the Zhejiang army.

Such a thing? Even the governor of Zhejiang Direct Hu Zongxian and Zhejiang Governor Zhao Zhenji cannot do it? Only the inspector of Zhejiang Censor Qian Yuan... is not because of his authority, but because of his control over the forces of Ning Shaotai and even several Wenzhou prefectures.

If you want to impeach him, you can't find a very obvious excuse? After all, Qi Jimei has the right to lead the army into Fujian, and several generals, such as Zhang San, Zhou Ze, and Feng Ziming, also entered Fujian at the beginning of the year? But they secretly sneaked back to Zhenhai with Qi Jimei.

Mao Kun looked at the map hanging on the wall? Shaking his head and said, "The morale of the thief army has declined greatly. It will be natural for Tingzhou to recover... I only see whether Zhang Lian fled south or west."

Escape to the south means returning to Guangdong, and to enter Jiangxi, Hu Zongxian stared at the map and fell into thinking.

The study room fell into silence? Zheng Ruozeng, who was already gray-haired, sighed silently? He quietly turned around and retreated.

In early August, although it was not the time for the cool autumn, the cool summer had passed and the heat was gone, which made people feel refreshed? Zheng Ruozeng was still in the scorching sun, covered in sweat all over his body? His head was also dizzy.

It was already dusk, and Wang Yin walked into the room with a ugly face? Looking at the two packages that had been packed in the room, he couldn't help but sigh? "Why is Brother Bolu?"

Zheng Ruozeng, dressed in a commoner, said calmly: "Has the book boy been sent back? No one has made tea? I won't pour tea for Liangqing."

Wang Yin wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. After a while of silence, he whispered hoarsely: "The mountain has left, and Brother Bolu is also away..."

Before Zheng Ruozeng made up his mind, on the day when Yu Dayou led his army to Fujian, He Xinyin had already broken up with Hu Zongxian and left angrily.

"The Governor's Office is full of talents, and Zheng is just talking big, he is just a old man." Zheng Ruozeng said calmly: "What's more, the new army has been trained for several years, and has not fought against each other in the southeast. You can only see Qi Jimei's victory in Gutian."

After looking at Wang Yin, Zheng Ruozeng pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Since the 33rd year of Jiajing, Zheng has been trusted by the Governor, and he has given all the suggestions. Until now, Zheng has no plans to offer. I hope to return to his hometown to sort out the manuscripts in recent years..."

"Brother Bolu..." Wang Yin stretched out his hand in pain and leaned into the air, watching Zheng Ruozeng step out of the door.

Zheng Ruozeng, a native of Kunshan, was named Bolu and had a pseudonym Kaiyang. He was a disciple of the Wei School of the Great Confucianism. He practiced medicine for generations and was quite famous in the southeast. His ancestor was a Jinshi during the Zhengtong period and was ranked among the 500 Sage Temples of Canglang Pavilion.

However, Zheng Ruozeng had no intention of career, devoted himself to knowledge, knew mountains, rivers, geography, and was good at military strategy. In the 33rd year of Jiajing, he joined the shogunate of the Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian. He obtained the trust of the Xixi, and implemented all the suggestions he offered immediately, promoted the promotion of the organization, increased revenue and reduced expenditure, compiled the new army, handled the documents of exchanges, strangled Xu Hai, and recruited Wang Zhi, and made contributions.

It is no exaggeration to say that although there is Wen Zhengming, who is famous throughout the world, Wang Liangqing, who is a fellow villager, Shen Mingchen, who is famous for his poetry, and Maolumen who is a Jinshi, Zheng Ruozeng deserves to be the leader in Hu Zongxian's shogunate in terms of merit.

Zheng Ruozeng's departure originated from disappointment, and even more from comparison.

When Zhang Lian proclaimed himself emperor, Fujian was in chaos and was in danger, Qian Zhancai made a quick decision, using Qi Jimei and Yu Dayou to stabilize the situation and turn the tide... In this comparison, Hu Zongxian's intriguing thoughts disappointed Zheng Ruozeng.

After leaving Longquan straight out, Zheng Ruozeng rented a black-sailed boat and left the river and settled in Lishui County.

He lived in the cabin at night. Zheng Ruozeng lit an oil lamp, took out a stack of manuscripts from the package, sorted them out carefully, and pondered for a long time from time to time, thinking in his mind how to modify it and whether to make the old friend and his brother-in-law have a bright and polished look.

This is the famous "Chouhaitu Bian". It has been said in later generations that it was written by Hu Zongxian. It was not until modern times that the author was Zheng Ruozeng... With Zheng Ruozeng's departure, this historical puzzle will no longer appear again.

During the day, he followed the flow on the boat, thinking about how to modify it into a book in his mind. At night, he was writing hard at the desk in the cabin. In a daze, he heard the long horn of the ship's ship outside. Zheng Ruozeng knew that the ship had arrived in Xiaoshan.

After protruding his head and walking out of the cabin, Zheng Ruozeng looked at the endless stream of Xixing Canal and smiled: "It has become a bright future in just over the past year."

"Sir, I've stood firm. These are all merchant ships heading to Ningbo. If we touch them, we have to feed the turtle." The ship owner took the helm himself, and the black-sailed ship skillfully shuttled through many large ships.

I soon arrived in Hangzhou, went to the canal wharf to transfer to Suzhou, and got off the boat, not far from home. Zheng Ruozeng stood on the board for a long time without getting off the boat, staring blankly at the people coming and going on the wharf.

After a while, Zheng Ruozeng turned his head and looked at the boatman who was waiting for the payment, and smiled and said, "Don't go there again and go to Zhenhai, Ningbo."

At dusk that day, Zheng Ruozeng appeared at the entrance of Qianzhai, Zhenhai County.

Before Zheng Ruozeng handed over the famous post, the door had already informed him. A moment later, the main gate was wide open and the Zhejiang Censor Qian Yuan personally went out to greet him.

"I've been waiting for Brother Beru for several days."

Zheng Ruozeng looked at Qian Yuan in surprise, knowing that he was just a tribute scholar and had no official position. He was in charge of the southeast and opened the middle door to greet him. He could not have any more grand etiquette.

Qian Yuan sighed, "Qian is arrogant and there are many knowledgeable people in the world, but only a few can see it. If Brother Bolu returns home directly, Qian will also visit the cottage three times."

Zheng Ruozeng Ben just wanted to come and see what he wanted to talk to Qian Yuan, but he was stunned when he heard this.

"In early February, Qian led his guards to rush into Hangzhou, and did not hesitate to encircle the governor's yamen. What's the matter?"

"All the land is chaotic and the achievements are made, and both man and gods abandon it."

Qian Yuan and Zheng Ruozeng slowly walked into the mansion and said calmly: "The Fujian land is protected, but Qian dared not take credit, but Jixi scolded Qian for robbing the merits. After his thoughts, there is something unspeakable."

"Mr. Fushan, Brother Belu is so elegant and has no trace of dirt. He left the stream and left, and could not do it unless the great men."
