Chapter 681 Candidates
Liang Sheng, who was far away in Min County, guessed wrong this time. The Jinhai Qianzhai was not very comfortable in the New Year.
Qian Yuan also thought that the government office would also have a holiday and could finally rest. Even Sun Ying came over to say hello, but he didn't say anything. After being tired for several months, he finally had time to play numb... During the Chinese New Year, Jingchuan Gong would never come to him!
But it was not until the fire outside reflected the sky and was in chaos that Qian Yuan suddenly realized that before he went to sea in his previous life, what time did he spend New Year's Eve outside?
Even in the two years when I was working as a bench in the publicity department, I would be transferred out to make up for the shortage of police force during the New Year... It's too naive!
It has been a year and a half since the establishment of a city to trade. The permanent population of Zhenhai has tripled, and there are countless migrant populations. Even during the New Year holiday, a large number of migrant populations remain in Zhenhai County.
Nowadays, there are many wealthy businessmen in Zhenhai. Even ordinary people have to seek food and clothing because of this Yongjiang River. If you are more diligent and more active, your life will be very good.
Therefore, in this case, a large number of transactions that are not related to trade also appeared in Zhenhai, such as Qinlou Chu Pavilion, various gambling shops, and firecracker shops that appear during the New Year Festival.
On the New Year's Eve, a firecracker shop caught fire. Now it was time to finish the meal. Sun Ying, who was ready to serve the table, rushed to put out the fire with his men.
This fire burned... half a street was burned out!
Four people died, seven were burned, and sixteen houses were burned. The most deadly thing was that the owner of the firecracker shop was also dead.
Sun Ying had no choice but to arrange sixteen families to the inn... The scene was chaotic, and it was just like that. Finally, the Japanese turmoil was quelled, and the city was set up to trade, and lived a good life. Sitting at home and reunite with the family, unexpectedly, a fire next door burned over. Not only did the people die, the family was gone!
Qian Yuan also had a headache when rubbing his eyebrows. He has no insurance these days, so he doesn’t admit defeat... Could it be that the county government will pay?
"See which family can set up shops, 80% of them are locals. Even if the family members die, there are still tribe members." Sun Ying's eyebrows were not burned, and his hair was curled up by the fire.
Qian Yuan knew that Sun Ying wanted to make money from that family... In this era, family, family and family are inseparable.
"A different approach."
"Um?"
Qian Yuan sneered, fireworks and firecrackers were strictly prohibited in the city, and there was no way for future generations to eliminate them, but it was not difficult to make up for the losses of these sixteen families... Just use a large killing weapon!
That night, everyone in the county and government offices went out, and even the Qian family guards followed. On the second day, Qian Yuan also transferred Yang Wen to lead 300 soldiers into the city, and the whole city investigated and dealt with firecracker shops... For the New Year, it would be okay to release firecrackers to celebrate. They went to the riverside outside the city to put them on, and were caught in the city, starting with five taels of silver.
So, on New Year's Eve, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the second day of the Lunar New Year, for three days, Wu Chengqi, Song Jizu, and Sun Ying took people around the city, afraid that a fire would burn away any street.
However, no matter which era, there are always people who commit suicide.
The yamen runners, constables, and minor officials spread throughout the city like thieves. Everyone had a stack of tickets in their arms. Tsk tsk, five taels of silver were confiscated, one tael was handed over, one tael was kept privately, and there was unlimited motivation.
Almost all the guards around him went out to help. Qian Yuan sat alone at home bored, and accompanied Xiaoqi, sister-in-law and sister to play numb on New Year's Eve... He was not covered with blood, only keeping accounts.
It’s not impossible to play numb with women, but... everyone likes to be fooled. After a round of fighting, I found that Sansi and Wu were removed by themselves and wanted to pick it up!
It's such a premature death!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Shunzhi's arrival rescued Qian Yuan from the sea of suffering, and he brought the Jiangxi War Report.
"Xiao Wan was captured and killed by Liu Xian?" Qian Yuan looked at the military newspaper in surprise.
Xiao Wan was defeated by Qi Jimei and Yu Dayou in Gutian County, but then led the bandit army into Jiangxi, with a strong momentum and a series of victories. Half of the cities captured by the bandit army were Xiao Wan's military achievements, but unexpectedly died at the hands of Liu Xian.
The two went to the study outside, and there was a map of Jiangxi hanging on the wall. This was left by my uncle Tan Lun last time he came to Zhenhai.
"Qi Jimei took a detour into Yuanzhou Prefecture and entered Fenyi County from the west." Tang Shunzhi's eyes fell on Ji'an Prefecture, "I'm afraid the thief army will go south."
Qian Yuan yawned, "That's natural. Zhang Lian was originally from Guangdong. Besides, Hu Ruzhen is the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi. It can't be changed to the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi, right?"
Tang Shunzhi sighed, "It is better to mislead national affairs!"
If there was no Fenyi County, or if Yan Song was not produced in Fenyi County, Hu Zongxian would be able to calmly dispatch troops and kill most of the bandit army, and the war would not be entrusted to this day.
It was precisely because he was afraid of taking the rat that Hu Zongxian transferred Qi Jimei's troops to Yuanzhou Prefecture to protect Fenyi County. In the battle, although he captured and killed thirteen thieves including Xiao Wan, beheaded more than a thousand, and captured more than a thousand alive, Zhang Lian led thousands of remaining troops to flee south to Ji'an Prefecture.
Originally, Qi Jimei could block this gap, so Tang Shunzhi said that the division should be misleading national affairs. This division refers to the division and the county, and also refers to the strict division and the state.
He is so heartless. You, a Ningbo prefect, have so many people... Qian Yuan complained in his heart, but he really didn't want to go back and play mahjong with them for a few hours, and listened to Tang Shunzhi's nagging with his teeth.
Gradually, Qian Yuan's thoughts became vague. If the war in Jiangxi ended, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi, would inevitably be dismissed. What would Hu Zongxian himself be like... Qian Yuan didn't care, unless Xu Jie would come to power in the future and then turn over old accounts.
But Qian Yuan was very concerned about the generals under Hu Zongxian.
Since Xu Hai was defeated last year, Wang Zhilai surrendered, and the troops took turns to attack. This year, few Japanese pirates have invaded the coastal areas of Zhejiang. However, the most powerful troops of Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, and Liu Xian have all been transferred to Fujian and Jiangxi for battle, and Zhejiang is already a little empty.
Now Tang Kekuan is stationed in Jiaxing Prefecture, Hou Jigao, Yang Wen is stationed in Ningbo Prefecture, Lu Bin and Zhang Yuanxun are stationed in Taizhou Prefecture, Wenzhou Prefecture, Yuepu River is stationed in Shaoxing Prefecture, and Lu Peng is stationed in Hangzhou Prefecture.
The problem is that there is no one who can command the army. This character needs talent, military achievements, fame, and even more so.
Tang Kekuan was already out of date and had an average relationship with Qian Yuan. Hou Jigao, Yang Wen, Zhang Yuanxun, Yue Puhe and Lu Peng were all guerrilla generals, and Lu Bin was just a sergeant general, and his status was not very high.
The key is that former Zhejiang general officer Yu Dayou and deputy general Qi Jiguang entered Fujian one after another, and the general and deputy general were all empty... Qian Yuanzhen was afraid that the court would suddenly land in the air.
In terms of ability, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang are the most suitable. Both are famous generals and are good at naval battles. The latter may pay more attention to firearms.
In terms of the relationship between far and near, Qi Jiguang and Qi Jimei are all very suitable, especially Qi Jimei's subordinates were basically brought by Qian Yuan, and the battles were carried out under Qian Yuan's direct command, and they were constructed with the Qian family's guards as the skeleton.
However, Qi Jimei is still inexperienced and is too young. She is now a general and has a brother of the Fujian General. Even if Qi Jimei makes frequent contributions in the Jiangxi battle, she is unlikely to be promoted to deputy general.
Qian Yuan flipped the memories deep in his mind. After pacifying the Japanese, Qi Jiguang was transferred to the north to become the general of Jimen after pacifying the Japanese, while Yu Dayou stayed in Fujian and Guangdong in the south... It is hard to say that this was Xu Jie's trick, but it may be caused by the natural vigilance of the civil servant group towards military generals.
From this perspective, Qi Jimei is the most suitable candidate.
