"I am an old acquaintance, experienced on the ruling side, and still at home?" Xia Nan reacted quickly, immediately thought of it, and blurted out, "Zhu Dadian? ”

"Teachable!" Xie Sanbin replied with a smile, "It's him." Yanzhi (Zhu Dadian's character) has successively served as the deputy envoy of Fujian, the right political secretary to participate in politics, the governor of Shandong, and the governor of Caoyun. ”

Xia Nan thought to himself, what the old man said was quite reasonable. is also a governor, Sun Yuanhua is more like a technical bureaucrat, he doesn't say anything practical, but in terms of sleek and sophisticated, he is far inferior to Zhu Dadian. If it weren't for Dian Taibei, when he first took office and had not yet gained a stable foothold, he would not have lost his black yarn hat when he encountered the invasion of Fengyang by the combined forces of Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong.

"But people still have a chance to recover, such a feudal official, will he do things for me?" Xia Nan was a little unconfident, he was sure of fooling a down-and-out literati, but he really didn't have much confidence in fooling such a heavyweight former high-ranking official, after all, with the current situation, he couldn't give Zhu Dadian what he wanted.

Xie Sanbin said meaningfully: "If you don't try, how do you know if it will work?" ”

General Xia Nan was suspicious and said: "But Mr. Yanzhi's hometown is in Jinhua, which is far away from Dengzhou, and the ships that transport the people in Tianjin will go south one after another in a few days, even if you go to him now, it will be too late to go back and forth?" ”

"Hehe, it's really a coincidence, Yanzhi and I fell in love, and now we are visiting Dengzhou, if you want to find him, I can arrange for you to meet immediately."

Summer Nan Daxi: "It's the best, I'll try it." ”

It turns out that Zhu Dadian is idle at home, and he has nothing to do to travel around, his classmates, many in the same year, all over the provinces, and he is not bad for money, he can do full-time tourism, and he has turned around the north of the Yangtze River for more than a year, and he happened to be a guest here in Xie Sanbin this time.

Under Xie Sanbin's arrangement, the two met again in the governor's yamen.

After some pleasantries, the two sat down. Zhu Dadian looked at Xia Nan with emotion. The last time the two met in this place, he was still the governor of Shandong and the commander of the counterinsurgency army, and he was in the limelight for a while, and Xia Nan at that time was just a Qiongzhou general who racked his brains and wanted to make some benefits in the counterinsurgency, and he did not hesitate to bribe to win over the relationship between them.

Two years have passed, Xia Nan rose strongly like a rocket, from a little-known general, played several tough battles in a row to become famous, one step to the sky, became the general soldier of the border town, the governor of Zuodu, the Marquis of Pingnan, and also added the title of a general, but Zhu Dadian was dismissed and became a civilian, and the status between the two has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Xia Nan was the first to open his mouth to cut to the chase, he clenched his fists and said: "Mr. Yanzhi, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today I beg my father-in-law to invite you here, I have something to ask for." ”

Zhu Dadian waved his hand and replied modestly: "You are now the unattainable Marquis of Pingnan and the general, and the old man is only the former governor of Caoyun who was dismissed, and he can't afford the word 'please'." ”

"Mr. Yanzhi is too modest." Xia Nan Zhengse said, "I know my request may be a bit overwhelming, but I still want to try, after all, talents like you are hard to come by." I am now going to migrate tens of thousands of people to Taiwan to reclaim the famine, and I will continue to transport people over there in the future, where I plan to establish my own management system to replace the role of the government, but there is no one in charge of the overall situation, and I don't know if Mr. Yanzhi can condescend to ......."

Zhu Dadian is so shrewd, as soon as he heard this, he knew what Xia Nan meant. He pondered for a moment, and did not answer directly, but asked a question that seemed to be unrelated: "When the soldiers of the Marquis of Pingnan besieged the imperial city, did you ever think of rushing directly into the Jinluan Palace to change the day?" ”

Xia Nan was a little surprised, these words came out of the mouth of the former governor of Caoyun, it was a big rebellion! He didn't know Zhu Dadian's true intentions, thought about it, and decided to tell the truth: "To be honest, the situation at that time made it easy to enter the Jinluan Palace, but what could it be? Even if there is a change in Chengtianmen, without the support of the people and not enough troops to control the whole country, it will only be short-lived, but it will be because of the chaos in the center, so that the Liukou in the northwest and the Tartars in Liaodong will take advantage. Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe is not something that anyone can learn, the right time, place and people are indispensable, otherwise, wouldn't any cat or dog launch a mutiny to change the dynasty? ”

Zhu Dadian nodded again and again, and praised: "The combat power of the Qiong Navy is unparalleled, it is easy to have a change in Chengtianmen, and in that case, you can still keep a cool head and know how to choose, it is really rare." The old man asked again: With your current title and official position, plus this unconventional general, you are already the peak of the military generals of this dynasty, and there is almost no possibility of rising again, why don't you stay in Qiongzhou to enjoy the happiness, and take a lot of trouble to migrate the people to Dongfan Island to reclaim the famine? Don't tell me that you are worried about the country and the people, in order to share the worries of the saints. ”

Xia Nan keenly discovered the other party's true intentions from Zhu Dadian's two questions. If the first question is to analyze your own vision and pattern, to test whether you can resist the temptation of the moment, retreat into advance, and make a rational choice, then the second question is to confirm whether you have enough ambition and ambition.

He laughed and replied bluntly: "Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?" The world is about to be in chaos, no one knows what will happen in the future, it's always right to be more prepared, you have food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart, right, Mr. Yanzhi? ”

Zhu Dadian also smiled, then stood up, walked in front of Xia Nan, raised his hand, made a long bow, and said loudly: "Jinhua Zhu Yanzhi, thanks to Pingnan Hou for not giving up, entrusted with the important task, I will do my best to do this well!" ”

Xia Nan was surprised and delighted, stood up, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Dadian, and asked in disbelief: "Mr. Yanzhi has agreed?" ”

Zhu Dadian replied with a smile: "Yes." I don't know what grade Pingnanhou compares me to the government, how much is it? ”

Xia Nan Yangtian laughed a few times, and then replied: "I can't give you the seal letter and official status of the ministry, but I have tens of thousands of people under my command, and there may be hundreds of thousands of people in the future. As for Yulu, I will not discount it as much as you say. ”

"Governor of Taiwan?" Zhu Dadian smiled, "Sounds good." It seems that my fate with the governor and the governor in this life cannot be dissolved! "He has a solid family background, and he has accumulated a lot of net worth in office, but he doesn't really care much about Yulu, just ridicule. What really makes him care is what kind of status Xia Nan gives him, and whether he has enough attention and respect.
