Because Gao Jingshi came a little early and it was not time for dinner, Liu Xian, Liu Wei and his son were the hosts and came here first to drink tea with Gao Jingshi.
In fact, to be honest, drinking tea and talking about things is more in line with Gao Pragmatic's preferences than talking about things at the dinner table. After all, although he can avoid drinking due to his young age, it is basically impossible for generals like Liu Xian and his son to go to the table without drinking.
After drinking, Gao Pragmatic is afraid that even if he explains some things, he may not be able to get their attention.
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "General Liu's matter is basically settled. The imperial court has tasked the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the false accusations made by Xu Pengju. I believe it won't be long before the truth comes to light and General Liu is cleared."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gao." Liu Xian raised his tea cup and said, "Liu had no intention of repaying the favor, so he offered tea instead of wine to thank Mr. Gao for his kindness." Liu Wei also raised his glass.
Gao Pragmatic was not modest at all. He picked up the tea cup and gestured to the two of them, took a sip and said: "In addition, it is a waste of time to wait for Nanjing to complete the process. Therefore, after my third uncle discussed with Mr. Zhang Ge, we have already
I ask the new governor of Huguang, Gu Daizong, to make a recommendation on behalf of General Liu to move to Guizhou."
"Gu Daizong? But the governor of Zhejiang Province has nothing but the sound of millet in the valley?" Liu Xian was stunned for a moment and asked.
Gao pragmatically nodded.
Liu Xian immediately laughed: "It turned out to be Gu Zisheng. I had dealt with him in Zhejiang, and he was very good at managing food, grass and military equipment."
Gao Pingshi's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: Gu Zhongxu's ability in this area should be rated more than "not bad", right? He and Qi Jiguang were not bad partners back then.
When it comes to the tacit understanding of partnering with Qi Jiguang, readers can probably guess: Gu Zhongxu has a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, especially Tan Lun. The two were in the same year of the Jiachen Science and Technology Gold List in the 23rd year of Jiajing, but Tan
Lun was in the second place, while Gu Zhongxu was unlucky and only got the third place.
However, readers should not underestimate this top three Jinshi - because he was only nineteen years old when he got the top three Jinshi! It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty's love for prodigies is indeed no joke.
Gu Zhongxu, courtesy name Zisheng, alias Daizong, was born in Nanmen, Haifeng County. Gu Zhongxu was talented and studious at a young age. He was able to write articles at the age of seven. He took the county examination at the age of 12 and won the first prize. At the age of 18,
He was a successful candidate and a Jinshi at the age of nineteen. It can be said that he was successful at a young age and became a great person early. It is said that because of his poor family, Yan Zhongxu cherished the opportunity to study to change his destiny when he was young. He worked very hard and would not let go of the scroll. He often read until midnight when he was really sleepy.
, just sit cross-legged and meditate and rest for a while.
At that time, there was a rich man named Yang Tianchong in the county. He admired Gu Zhongxu's talents and was very optimistic about his future. Therefore, Yang Tianchong married his beloved daughter to Gu Zhongxu and specially invited Gu Zhongxu to his private school.
Study. In every academic examination and scientific examination, Gu Zhongxu always ranked among the best.
As for his later relationship with Qi Jiguang, of course it must be related to Ping Wa.
In the thirty-fourth year of the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded the southeastern coastal area, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes. The imperial court issued an edict to transfer Qi Jiguang, who was then the commander of the capital of Shandong, to serve as the secretary of the capital of Zhejiang. The following year, he was promoted to the rank of staff general to guard Ning (Bo).
The three counties of Shao (Xing) and Tai (zhou) were preparing for the Japanese war in Zhejiang. At this time, Gu Zhongxu had been appointed as the inspector of Zhejiang, and the two Shandong fellows had the opportunity to work together.
Yan Zhongxu was different from some civilian officials. He believed that civilian officials should be responsible for food, wages and military equipment, while military officials should take the lead in military affairs and should not interfere except as a last resort.
Due to official duties, Gu Zhongxu visited Qi Jiguang's military camp many times, and discussed with Qi Jiguang some military deployments, eradication strategies and other matters. At that time, Gu Zhongxu was more familiar with the customs and customs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When Qi Jiguang was short of troops,
When he was worried, Gu Zhongxu brilliantly pointed out that the people in Yiwu and other places have strong customs and may be able to form a powerful army.
In the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang, with the strong support of Gu Zhongxu, recruited nearly 4,000 people from Jinhua, Yiwu and other places in Zhejiang to form a new type of army using the four-level organization method of battalion, officer, sentry and team. The team is the basic combatant.
Units and team members are equipped with different weapons according to their age and physical ability. During combat, all team members use their strengths and cooperate in combat, with both offense and defense, and flexible advancement and retreat. This combat formation can be divided and combined, and is known as the "Mandarin Duck Formation".
After Qi Jiguang's rigorous training, this new army team quickly became a powerful military force, known as the "Qi Family Army".
Therefore, by calculation, Gu Zhongxu can almost be regarded as one of the builders of this army, and Qi Jiguang was also quite grateful for Gu Zhongxu's support back then.
Of course, there is a very important figure here, that is Tan Lun. At that time, Tan Lun's status had always been slightly higher than that of Gu Zhongxu. Therefore, Gu Zhongxu had always been regarded as Tan Lun's faction, but in fact they could only be regarded as allies.
In the first year of Longqing, Gu Zhongxu was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang. In Zhenhai, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, the pond controls the sea gate and blocks eastern Zhejiang. The geographical location is even more dangerous. Gu Zhongxu calls it "the protection of eastern Zhejiang, and the western mausoleum of Hulao"
Also...", later generations also praised it as "the unparalleled Pinghan land in the southeast, the first pass of thousands of miles of sea". Therefore, Zhongxu in the valley stationed troops here and built strong forts to resist the Japanese pirates.
In order to prevent Japanese pirates from invading Zhenhai, Yan Zhongxu figured out the pattern of Japanese pirates' activities in advance, strictly trained soldiers, organized defenses, and personally rushed to the sea areas, organized weapons and equipment, established overseas naval forces, and sent more warships to patrol the sea areas, so that Japanese pirates could take advantage of them and coastal people could live in peace.
, Gu Zhongxu actually made great contributions to this matter.
Gu Zhongxu had been in Zhejiang for a long time and had served as governor of Zhejiang for three years. He happened to be transferred to Huguang this time. Therefore, Gao Pingshi quietly gave Gao Gong an idea before and asked Zhang Juzheng to come forward and ask Tan Lun to tell Gu Zhongxu on his behalf, hoping that Gu Zhongxu would
Shangshu recommended Liu Xian to go to Guizhou - well, this relationship seems a bit messy, but the Ming Dynasty's system and faction relations are so complicated. It is completely unnecessary for Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng to directly recommend Liu Xian - a mere general soldier, and
It was the Mainland General Soldier, and it was really not the turn of these two big guys to step forward personally. As the governor of Ji Liao, Tan Lun had no name to recommend a Mainland General Soldier, so he went round and round to find Gu Zhongxu.
But Liu Wei asked a question with some confusion at this time: "Mr. Gao, you just said that this Gu Zhongcheng has just been transferred from the governor of Zhejiang to the governor of Huguang... Since he is the governor of Huguang, how can he cross the border to recommend the general of Guizhou?
Now, aren't you afraid of overstepping your authority?"
Before Gao pragmatic could answer, Liu Xian had already glared at him: "I told you not to just practice martial arts, but you just refused to listen. Now you are making a fool of yourself for your father! Fortunately, Mr. Gao is not an outsider, otherwise you can see whether I can fight or not."
