Chapter 044 The patrol arrives, the governor is sick
It is the third day of the tenth lunar month in the eighth year of Wanli.
At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed more than half a month. If we were in the north, the autumn mood would have already been strong. However, in Yongzhou, which is close to Guangxi, the weather is still a little hot.
Fortunately, since he and Liu Xin parted ways, Gao Qingshi had been walking on the water all the way, and the strong river breeze on the boat did not make him feel uncomfortable. Even the southern scenery reminded him of the feeling of walking by the river in his previous life.
After all, he was a southerner in his previous life.
It was this kind of relaxing time that made him like taking a boat. Every day when he had nothing to do, he would sit on the second floor of the boat and look at the green water and green mountains. It was so comfortable.
However, the servants who came with him were not as relaxed and relaxed as he was. During the half-month boat trip, many of these northern men suffered from seasickness. Especially in the first few days, many of them almost suffered from seasickness.
All vomited out.
Although more people did not vomit as badly, they were also top-heavy and dizzy all day long. Gao Pingshi felt at that time that if he encountered any water bandits at this time, his group of servants who were supposed to be his guards might not be as good as him.
I can fight...
At least he loved swimming in his previous life, and his skills were superb. If he failed, he could still dive to escape. Unlike this group of guys, who could still climb ashore after falling into the Xiangjiang River, I can probably count them on two hands.
In the past few days, he often thought of Liu Xin, not with any intention of admiration. In fact, his attitude towards Liu Xin was limited to a feeling of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land". In fact, he simply felt that Liu Xin was quite pitiful.
Unlike herself, she has no motivation to change this era, nor does she have the prerequisites to change this era, but she has traveled here. She is like a goldfish thrown into a glass tank by the hand of fate, although there are also people around her.
Water, but understands that this is not his real home at all.
Full of melancholy and no one to talk to.
Although he and Liu Xin had known each other for a long time, they really didn't communicate much. In addition to being very smart when she was a child, Liu Xin didn't leave much of an impression on him. If she had to say that she did, it would be "this
The little girl speaks so directly."
This is not a good impression.
During this trip, he learned her true identity and understood her "childhood" directness as if she was aloof.
When she traveled through time, she had just graduated from college. She neither understood nor liked the Ming Dynasty, so she would naturally be resistant and unwilling to integrate.
Until the last time we met in Nancheng, the capital, the little girl had grown up and finally behaved like a lady of this era, except for one thing - she didn't have her feet bound.
At that time, Gao Pragmatic just thought that Liu Xian had ignored the matter or was too doting on her. Later, he came to his senses after learning about her origins. This was probably just her last persistence.
It was hard for Gao Jingshi to imagine how lonely a time traveler who didn't want to fit into this era would feel. So Gao Jingshi deliberately paid more attention to her on the way.
Only then did he realize that Liu Xin, apart from being more "lively and lively" when talking to him, not only rarely communicated with other people, but also clearly showed a kind of indifference.
If I had to describe it, it would be a kind of "polite alienation".
Although he won't do this, he can understand.
…
Another day later, the fleet finally traveled along the Xiangjiang River and arrived at the boundary of Guangxi. According to the boss of the ship at Xiangkou Station in Yongzhou Prefecture, ahead was Huangsha Town, which belongs to Quanzhou, Guangxi. There is a water station in the town, which is Xiangkou Station.
The end point of this post journey is Shanjie Ma Post.
Since the Xiangjiang River here narrows and there are many step-shaped undulations on the river (no wind note: this description is hard for me, you can refer to Fenghuang Ancient Town), so you can't sail, you have to take a horse and post to Quanzhou, and then go back again
Changed to Shuiyi again to go to Guilin.
However, as soon as the fleet arrived in Huangsha Town, Gao Pragmatic noticed something was wrong outside the Shanjiao Horse Station. There was a lot of people outside the Horse Station, and at least five or six hundred people gathered in a noisy manner.
As the fleet got closer, the captain of the ship smiled and bowed to Gao Pingshi: "Sir, it should be the people from the Quanzhou Guard Qianhu Station who are here to welcome you."
Gao Pangshi was surprised. The group of people in front of him, who were no better than the beggars, were actually the defenders of Qianhu Residence here?
I'm afraid the Beggar Clan's discipline is better than yours!
Gao Zhang, who was the leader of Gao Pragmatic's entourage this time, had been staring at this group of people for a long time. When he heard what the ship's boss said, he couldn't help but frown and said to Gao Pragmatic: "Sir, if the officers and soldiers of Guangxi
It's all like this. I can understand why Guangxi has never been able to settle down."
Gao Pragmatic's lips moved, but in the end he remained silent.
Those Beggar Clan disciples... Well, the officers and soldiers from Qianhu Station finally discovered the fleet. A group of officers began to hurriedly shout at the whole fleet, but they seemed a little unable to do what they wanted. They made a fuss for a long time, but they just managed to get it together.
Rough formation.
Unfortunately, even this formation was still crooked and twisted, which made Gao Zhang, who had trained with Qi Jiguang for more than two years, want to go up and hit someone with a whip.
Seeing that his face was ugly and he looked uncomfortable all over, Gao pragmatic couldn't help but asked: "Gao Zhang, what are you doing?"
Gao Zhang was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "Master, I just remembered Qi Zongrong's words. He said that if an army cannot even arrange a neat battle formation, no matter how brave the soldiers are individually, they can only
Fighting with favorable conditions will definitely be unreliable at the critical moment."
Gao Jingshi nodded with deep understanding. He agreed with this point, otherwise he wouldn't have emphasized the queue so much in the first place - well, in fact, it was mainly because he only knew this much.
At this time, the fleet was ready to dock, and the formation over there was completed - forget it, it can only be regarded as that they are all standing together, so there is no need to line up or anything like that.
The ship docked, and the servants of the Gao family who finally managed to escape from the massive seasickness filed off the ship, posed as a guard of honor, held up the dodge they had brought from Beijing and used it for the first time, pressed the waiting cards on behalf of Tianxun, and played Guangxi Patrol.
Follow the censor's banner.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The leader of the beggar army was shocked by the servants of the Gao family. He originally wanted to come up to greet him, but he actually held back.
It wasn't until Gao Pingshi walked down the pier wearing the blue official robe with Xie Zhi patches and a tight face that the Qianhu trotted up to him with a few subordinates, and when he was two feet away, he
He knelt down, knocked his head on the ground, and said loudly: "I am under the command of the Guangxi Dusi, the right guard of Guilin, and the actual officer of the Qianhu Guard Office in Quanzhou. Zhong Dashan pays homage to Zhongzhi, and points directly to Jin'an!"
As he knelt down, several people behind him also knelt down quickly, and then the flower soldiers from the guard station they brought also knelt down in a chaotic manner.
Gao Pragmatic was stunned by the phrase "Jin'an", because "Jin'an" is usually only used for elders or highly respected people.
He looked at the fifth-grade Qianhu, who had bear tattoos on his chest, coughed slightly and said: "Zhong Qianhu, please get up."
Zhong Dashan felt so comfortable when the supervisor spoke so politely to him that he felt as if he had lost a few pounds. He quickly kowtowed again and said in a flattering tone: "Point directly in front of you. There is no place for you to stand and talk in a humble position."
Gao pragmatic was speechless for a while, then he simply turned cold and said, "Get up, I don't want to lower my head and talk."
Zhong Qianhu was taken aback and said quickly: "Yes, yes." Then he got up with a grunt.
Gao pragmatic said again: "Everyone, get up."
The few people behind saw that thousands of households in their families were devastated, so how could they dare to neglect them? After hearing this, they quickly got up, but they seemed a little at a loss and didn't know whether to ask the soldiers behind them to get up.
Gao pragmatic didn't want to embarrass them anymore, so he just asked: "You are not in Quanzhou, so why are you coming to Huangsha Town just to welcome me into the country?"
Zhong Qianhu felt that Gao Jingshi was a little uncertain and did not dare to neglect him. He quickly nodded and bowed and said: "Being the first to welcome Zhizhi when he enters Guangxi is a blessing for his humble position..." When he said this, Gao Jingshi showed no expression on his face.
, and quickly changed the topic: "It is certainly a blessing of a humble position to come here to greet me, but I do have something important to report."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: I have just entered Guangxi, and you, a thousand households in a thousand-household office, have something important to report?
But after all, this was also his duty as the censor, so he nodded this time and asked: "Since there is something important, just report it as soon as possible."
Zhong Qianhu bowed again and said: "Zhongcheng learned that Zhizhi will be in Guilin in the near future. He sent someone to express his apology to Zhizhi. Zhongcheng said that he could not come due to illness and could only wait for him in Guilin. Please ask Zhongcheng.
He refers to Qian Qian Haihan, but when he refers directly to Ding Gui, he will definitely apologize in person."
Zhongcheng is one of the elegant titles of the governor. The reason why he is called "Zhongcheng" is because the governor usually carries the title of right deputy capital censor (the governor carries the title of right deputy censor). The deputy capital censor is equivalent to the former
The deputy chief of the acting Yushitai, Yushi Zhongcheng, is why it is so called.
Gao pragmatism knew that the power of the inspector-general had been greatly expanded at the moment, and usually the governor would be courteous, but he had never heard of such a thing that the governor had to welcome the inspector personally when he took office.
He secretly wondered whether this was a polite comment from Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi, or was Zhang Ren really a bit hypocritical because of his own background?
But Zhang Ren was a veteran of Jiajing for twenty-six years, and was a native of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture. He and Xu Jie belonged to the Township Party, and were one of the local officials in the Xinxue Party. He had no reason to be afraid of him?
As for being sick, Gao Pragmatic naturally doesn't believe it, it's just an excuse.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so he could only say politely: "It doesn't matter, I am a latecomer, so I should go to Guilin to see Zhongcheng."
Zhong Qianhu said again: "I heard that Zhongcheng is seriously ill this time. If you are worried about it, I have already prepared troops and can send troops to escort him down at any time." - He himself is a guard general, so of course he can't.
They can leave the country at will, so they say they send troops.
However, Gao Pragmatic's focus is not at all on him sending troops to escort. His group of people are not reassuring at all. It would be good to send two reliable guides.
Gao Pragmatic was concerned about another thing: "Did you just say that Zhong Cheng is seriously ill and seriously ill?"
"Yes, direct." Zhong Qianhu bowed again and said: "Zhongcheng has been ill for more than a month. I heard that his condition has been getting worse. It is really worrying."
The whole state is under the jurisdiction of Guilin Prefecture and is less than three hundred miles away from Guilin City. If Zhang Ren is really seriously ill, it would not be surprising for Zhong Dashan to know about it.
However, Gao Pragmatic has never been an honest person. He still has some doubts. As soon as he took office, Zhang Ren fell ill and became seriously ill? If what Zhong Qianhu said is true, it means that he is almost the one who will come to Guangxi to take office.
When the news reached Guangxi, Zhang Ren fell ill...
