Chapter 457: The East Wind Rises

said that the head was westward, and the figure was long.

Mrs. Qi stood in the shadows, Qi Jiguang stood in the sun, and there was only his shadow on the ground, like a lonely knight, standing upright like a javelin, holding a knife tightly in his hand; Pale hands, pitch-black knives!

Pale and dark, showing his state of mind at the moment, he is moving forward. He walked very slowly, because his heart was very confused, and looking at the delicate face of his wife, he remembered the bits and pieces of the two of them...... He remembered that when his wife first married into the Qi family, his father had just died, and the family was also very poor, so poor that he couldn't even make up the travel expenses to enter Beijing to inherit the official position. One day, his uncle gave him a fish, and he happily gave it to his wife, saying that he wanted to improve it, but when it was time to eat, he was dumbfounded...... Because when Wang brought the food, the fish he saw were only the head and tail, and the belly of the fish was gone. Qi Jiguang understood at a glance, which showed that his wife had eaten the body of the fish, leaving him with only two ends that could be 'good beginning' and 'good ending'.

If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely have a seizure, but Qi Jiguang didn't dare to care, so he ate both ends very carefully and well.

When it was time for dinner, when Wang brought the whole fish belly to him again, Qi Jiguang suddenly realized that he was so moved that he couldn't speak for a long time. This is just one of the small things, but it is enough to show that although Wang is not good at expressing himself, he loves and protects him.

Qi Jiguang thought again that before he came to Zhejiang to become an official, he had no power or position, only a meager salary, and he had been away for a long time, the Wang family held the whole family and raised his young brother and sister. even sold all the jewelry he married in order to marry his younger brother Qi Jimei.

Qi Jiguang is clear about this, so although he is also clumsy in expressing it, he always has sincere gratitude and respect for the Wang family in his heart.

He finally remembered his oath, I, Qi Jiguang, only love you as a woman in this life and this life...... Thinking of this, his ignorant karmic fire has unconsciously become a faint small flame.

"What are you rubbing against?" Mrs. Qi's vicious voice pulled him back from his contemplation: "Let's do it?" ”

"What's the hands?" Qi Jiguang said with a blank face.

"Duel!" Mrs. Qi put on a posture and said, "Don't you want to punish me and hurry up?" ”

"Where did Madam think of it," Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "I came back to admit my mistake." ”

"Did anyone admit their mistake with a knife?" Mrs. Qi sneered.

"Knives?" Qi Jiguang looked at the machete in his hand, swallowed his saliva and said, "Why are you holding the knife?" His eyes wandered in the yard, and he saw a few little chicks eating insects in the corner of the wall, so he patted his head and said, "Oh, that's right." Because of my mistakes, my wife didn't have a good year, and her body also suffered...... I want to kill a chicken for you to replenish your body. As he spoke, he strode over, grabbed a chick and said, "That's what it means." ”

Wang stared at him for a long time, and Qi Jiguang, who saw the hair on the top of his head, said lightly: "In the future, the movement of killing chickens will be smaller!" Then he turned and went into the house.

Although he stewed soup for his wife, Mrs. Qi did not let him enter the house, and Qi Jiguang begged softly outside for a long time, but did not call to open the door. Seeing that there was still training the next day, I had no choice but to continue to go back to the camp to live in a single dormitory...... Seeing that his general was listless, Shen Mo was also anxious in his heart, and said in his heart, how much this affects the battle, so he asked Ruohan to persuade Mrs. Qi. Ruohan went, but it turned out to be useless, and he brought back a shocking news...... Mrs. Qi wants to divorce Qi Jiguang.

When I met a woman with such a strong surname, I had no choice but to say to Qi Jiguang, let's train with peace of mind first, don't go back to see her, in case she really wants to divorce you, this matter will be a big problem. When the baby is born, I'll help you figure it out.

Qi Jiguang sighed, it could only be like this, so he turned the depression in his heart into the motivation to destroy the soldiers, and trained them to death, and all the sergeants said in private: "This is the general being bullied by his wife, and he is angry with us." No one dared to provoke the volcanic General Qi, and they all trained honestly, lest they become his punching bag.

The family turmoil of General Qi here has not passed, and someone over there has come to bother the silence - Su Song patrolled Lu Douyin, took an official document from the imperial court, and asked him to make a request. I couldn't help it after hiding for a few days, so I had no choice but to see him...... In fact, after all, the two have had a relationship, and it is inevitable that they will be embarrassed to meet, so they have always avoided walking, and they haven't seen each other a few times for almost a year. But this time, Lu Douyin had to come to him, because his future was at stake...... According to the imperial history, the governor is appointed once a year, and he cannot be re-elected, and in a few months, Lu Douyin's term of office will end. According to the regulations, he should immediately return to Beijing to report on his work after the end of his term of office, and tell him what he has done in the past year...... For example, how many cases have been handled, how much grain money has been supervised, and how long the river has been supervised. and, most importantly, the extent to which the imperial decree was implemented in the inspected area, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate reviewed and rated it, and decided on rewards and punishments.

Therefore, people say that at this time of year, the patrol of the imperial history becomes a little bee, flying and flying all the time, busy everywhere, wanting to make more political achievements. This is especially true for Lu Xun, who is like an official. He came to Shen Mo this time to implement a big thing!

Last year, the Ministry of Military Affairs issued a document calling on local governments to recruit martial arts to fight against the Japanese and vigorously develop regimental training martial arts clubs. Other places are in full swing, only Suzhou Mansion, because of the all-out economy, river repair, plus Qi Jiguang's 3,000 soldiers and horses, is stronger than any regimental training, so Shen Mo has not been very concerned, and there is no unified arrangement so far.

Thanks to the blessing of silence, Lu Douyin's achievements that he can boast about are enough, but he does not dare to be optimistic at all, because he once couldn't get along with the Yan Party, who knows if people will take the opportunity to hack themselves? So he had to plug this last loophole and not give them the truth.

He said to Shen Mo: "Lord Shen, I know that you are busy and can't take care of it; Well, I'll do it myself, just nod. ”

Shen Moxin said that this is not a big deal, so he nodded and said, "Then you can go and watch it." As he spoke, he raised a finger and said, "However, Suzhou City can't." ”

"Nacheng, I'll go to Wujiang Lane." Lu Douyin gave way, anyway, as long as he can recruit the group training and reach a certain proportion of the population of Suzhou Prefecture, he will be able to make a difference.

"Okay......" Shen said two words that he regretted immensely...... He forgot that there is a kind of person in the world who has not achieved enough and has more than enough failure.

A large number of goods were shipped out of Suzhou, from Shanghai to the sea, and sold to North Korea, Yueben, Ryukyu, Nanyang and other places, in exchange for rolling silver money for the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the current number of orders, this year's task of four million taels should not be a problem.

But Shen Mo couldn't be happy, because he had always been able to build an economic barrier with peace of mind, and Yu Dayou, the general soldier of Su Song, had an accident...... Zhu 13 received an order from the Fusi of Beizhen to arrest Yu Dayou and enter Beijing, and asked Shen Mo to help cooperate with him.

Shen Mo sighed, closed his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of......?"

Things have to start from last year, last year, the gang that attacked Zhejiang, although they were finally repulsed, but did not return to their roots, but entrenched in the Kemei area of Zhoushan, Zhejiang. And the governor Hu Zongxian was busy fighting with the governor Nguyen E for power and profit, so he had no time to suppress. As a result, at the end of the year, the Japanese invaders sailed south again and plundered the coastal areas of Fujian, which happened to be a month after Ruan E took office.

Everyone else is a new official who has three fires in office, but Ruan E is good, as soon as he takes office, he is roasted on the fire, and he is burned to the outside and tender inside, and he is miserable...... Two prefects died, and there were a number of generals, so that the plague gods were driven away.

Ruan E breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but the anger in his heart surged up...... You Hu Zongxian also deceived people too much, right? I admit that I can't fight you, so I came from the bustling city of Hangzhou to Fujian, where there are many people with poor mountains and bad waters, but you just brought the Japanese over and didn't even leave me a way to live?

This is really a good person being bullied, and a horse being ridden! Ruan E decided that no matter what, he would get this bad breath, otherwise he would have to be bullied to death by Hu Zongxian sooner or later! So he organized the officials of Fujian to kill the rabbit together and write a blood book, crying blood and playing it, accusing Hu Zongxian of 'arsoning with the enemy and fleeing, beggar-thy-neighbor.' What he did was not to fight against the Japanese at all, but to keep his own territory, and I don't know what his intentions are! He was originally a well-educated man, but now he attacks with hatred, and the articles he writes are naturally heart-wrenching and shocking to the government and the opposition.

For a time, Yanjing City was filled with the sound of strict investigation of the matter, and the recitals of the imperial historians impeaching Hu Zongxian were piled up in the duty room of the celebrant supervisor.

But after all, Hu Zongxian was an upstart who offered auspiciousness, and it was impossible for Emperor Jiajing to move him, so he only ordered the Zhejiang Governor to maintain it, and found out that this matter was returned, and he didn't even send a messenger, nor did he ask Hu Zongxian for anything.

Shang Bao, who was holding chicken feathers as an arrow, couldn't figure out the situation, and participated in Hu Zongxian one after another, saying that he secretly communicated with the Japanese and was afraid of the enemy, and did not hesitate to bribe Xu Hai in exchange for his launch in Zhejiang; He also said that he embezzled military funds, lived a corrupt and degenerate life, had eighteen coquettish wives and concubines, and had food and clothing comparable to that of princes, etc...... Although the book was like a mud cow entering the sea, it did not get a response from Emperor Jiajing, but it scared the parties so much that they couldn't sleep. Because after reading the impeachment document that Shang maintained, Hu Zongxian was shocked to find that this person was not an unfounded slander, and many of the things mentioned above were true!

But Hu Zongxian asked himself, these things are done very secretly, and even only high-level generals know, how can they be leaked? Isn't someone an internal annihilator?

So he began to use a few key words to follow the map - Fujianese, maintain a friendship with Shang, high-level generals, and have access to secrets, so an old man unfortunately fell for all of them - Yu Dayou, Su Song, the commander of the Zhejiang Zhishui Army, and a native of Jinjiang, Fujian.

When Hu Zongxian told his staff his guesses, the dog-headed military advisors who had been entrusted with giving Yu Dayou some eye medicine threw off their vicious long tongues, starting from Yu Dayou's peeking at his sister taking a bath at the age of three and lifting his aunt's skirt at the age of five, until he was fifty years old, and also accepted the fourth concubine, and scolded the upright General Yu alive into Yan Shifan, who was hated by everyone and gods.

General Yu's personality is actually impeccable, and his personal life is also very checked, just because he engaged in a water army and touched the interests of a group of bureaucrats, when he needed help the most, he was thrown into a well and smashed in the face!

Hu Butang acted vigorously and immediately wrote the book, putting the responsibility on Yu Dayou.

Emperor Jiajing had been waiting for someone to take the top of Hu Zongxian's coffin, so he was naturally unceremonious, and immediately ordered Yu Dayou to be stripped of his official position and ordered him to be arrested in Yanjing for trial.

watched all this silently, which was the real reason why he had been in a bad mood. He remembered very clearly how much Hu Zongxian valued Yu Dayou at the beginning, obeyed him, and relied on him as a dry city, saying that Yu Dayou was Zhou Yafu and Li Guangbi of the Ming Dynasty...... At that time, the words were still in his ears, and he sent this person who he once trusted extremely to prison with his own hands.

From the second-rank master to the prisoner under the stairs, the distance that seems to be thousands of miles turns out to be only a few days, and a few words from some people...... He rejected Zhu Shisan's request, and said word by word: "Trapping is an insult to General Yu, as long as you show him the order of the Beizhen Fusi, he will follow you without saying a word." ”

Zhu Shisan believed in silence, so he really only took two people with him, and three days later, he brought back Yu Dayou, who was dressed in cloth, and prepared to take a boat from Suzhou to Yanjing.

Shen Mo naturally wanted to send it, and on Jinyiwei's official boat, he saw his brother Yu. Yu Dayou's spirit is still vigorous, his mood has not been affected much, his voice is still so loud, and his smile is still so hearty.

Not only did he not take the arrest seriously, but he also advised Shen Mo to take it easy, it was no big deal.

Shen Mo, who was originally in a gloomy mood, was also infected by him and cheerful, and said with a smile: "My brother's heart is really big, when I was arrested and taken to Yanjing, I didn't think about tea and dinner, and before I was halfway through, I was so hungry that I lost my shape." ”

"Hehe, foolish brother, I haven't made much achievements in my life," Yu Dayou said with a smile: "But there are too many times to be rectified, there are many ups and downs, and there are many ups and downs, and people are numb." ”

"Big brother, don't worry." Shen Mo held his hand tightly and said, "I will do my best to rescue you!" Today's silence is qualified to say such things.

Yu Dayou was moved in his heart, and he said that adversity sees the truth, which is not false at all. Usually he is not too enthusiastic about Shen Mu, because he feels that this person is too slippery, and he seems to have a good relationship with everyone. He felt that it was too difficult for such a person to grasp the true surname, and he was not on the same path as himself, so in addition to official business, he was a little distant in private.

But now that he has suffered, he was arrested by Jinyiwei and sent to Yanjing City for trial, at this time others are afraid to avoid it, but Shen Mo ran to the boat to see him off, and made it clear that he wanted to wade into this troubled water, which made Yu Dayou, who is used to seeing the warmth of people and the cold of the world, how can he not be moved?

He took a deep breath, and felt that there was something to remind Shen Mo and said: "Foolish brother is not boasting, among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, I have met Xu Hai the most times, although there are fewer victories and more defeats, he has always been the most afraid of me, so he is generally reluctant to meet me." ”

Shen Mo frowned slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

"I'm worried that if I go, I will invite Xu Hai." Yu Dayou said: "Suzhou has not suffered from military disasters in recent years, and now it has opened a port, and it is getting richer and richer, I am afraid that it will cause fat in the eyes of others, and I will definitely come to bite when I get the opportunity." ”

"This is exactly what I'm worried about," Shen Mo said softly: "If my brother is here, I am naturally not afraid, but now that you are gone, you will not come back for a year and a half, what should I do in Suzhou?" Who can replace you? ”

"Eighty percent is Liu Xian, the deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang, and he will come to replace me." Yu Dayou said: "This person is still very powerful, but he is a little conservative in his use of soldiers, and it is inevitable that he will be exploited by the cunning Xu Hai." Said with some pity: "Qi Jiguang is actually more powerful than me, but it's a pity that he is too young, and he is not a descendant of the governor, if he takes over, I will rest assured." ”

Seeing that Shen Mo's face became solemn, Yu Dayou smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, maybe I'm worried about nothing, maybe there's nothing going on." ”

"Yes," Shen Mo smiled reluctantly, "I hope it's safe." ”

Yu Dayou followed Zhu Shisan, and silently urged Qi Jiguang to train his troops well, to give money to him, to purchase the best weapons and armor, to give people to people, and to expand the army to 5,000.

Qi Jiguang said very resolutely: "I only use elite soldiers, I would rather be less and fine, not more and indiscriminate!" Shen Mo had no choice but to go with him.

In a state of loose on the outside and tight on the inside, more than half a month passed, who knew that the Japanese did not come, but Suzhou Mansion had a big incident by itself!

"Report, the regimental training in Wujiang County rebelled, defeated the county seat, burned down the official mansion, and the life and death of the officials in the city are uncertain!"

Hearing this report, the brush in Shen Mo's hand fell to the ground with a 'snap', and he suddenly got up and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

This is really, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and no one can stop it from coming......
