Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 605 The patrol arrives, the governor is sick

In the eighth year of Wanli, the third day of October.

At this time, the mid-autumn festival has passed more than half a month. If it were in the north, the autumn atmosphere would already be strong, but in Yongzhou, which is close to Guangxi, the weather is still a little hot.

Fortunately, Gao Yushi has been traveling by water all the way since he parted with Liu Xin, and the wind on the boat did not make him feel uncomfortable.Even the scenery of the southern country 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 such a relaxing time that made him quite fond of taking a boat ride. When he had nothing to do every day, he just sat on the boat tower on the second floor and looked at the green water and green mountains. It was very pleasant.

However, the servants who came with him were not as leisurely as he was. During the half-month boat journey, these northern men did not know how many people suffered from seasickness, especially in the first few days, many people were almost galled All spit out.

Although more people didn't vomit as badly, they were also top-heavy and groggy all day long.At that time, Gao Wushi felt that if he encountered some water bandits at this time, the servants he thought were his guards might not be as good as himself...

At the very least, he loved swimming in his previous life, and his skills are superb. If it doesn't work, he can still dive for his life. Unlike this group of guys, who can climb ashore after falling into the Xiangjiang River, it is estimated that they can be counted with no more than two hands.

In the past few days, he often thinks of Liu Xin, not with any intention of admiration. In fact, his attitude towards Liu Xin is limited to a feeling of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land". In fact, he just simply feels that Liu Xin is quite pitiful.

Unlike herself, she has neither the motivation nor the prerequisites for changing this era, but she has traveled here.It's like a goldfish thrown into a glass water tank by the hand of fate. Although there is water around it, it knows that this is not its real home at all.

Full of melancholy, no one to tell.

Although he and Liu Xin had known each other for a long time, they didn't really communicate much. Apart from being very smart, Liu Xin didn't leave much impression on him when he was a child. The little girl speaks so directly."

That's not a good impression.

During this trip, he knew her true identity, and also understood her aloof and directness in her "childhood".

When she time traveled, she had just graduated from university, and she neither knew nor liked the era of Daming, so she would naturally resist it and would not want to blend in.

Until the last time we saw each other in the southern city of the capital, the little girl had grown up, and she finally behaved like a lady of this era, except for one thing - she didn't have her feet bound.

At that time, Gao Wushi just thought that Liu Xian had neglected this matter, or spoiled her too much, but he realized it after learning about her background. This was probably just her last insistence.

It's hard for Gao Shishi to imagine how lonely a traveler who doesn't want to blend into this era must feel.So Gao Wushi deliberately paid more attention to her on the way together.

Only then did he discover that, apart from being more "lively" when talking to himself, Liu Xin not only had less communication with other people, but also clearly showed a kind of indifference.

If I have to describe it, it should be a kind of "polite alienation".

Although he won't be like this, he can understand.

……

Another day later, the fleet finally arrived at the boundary of Guangxi along the Xiangjiang River. According to the owner of the boat at the Xiangkou Water Station in Yongzhou Prefecture, Huangsha Town, which belongs to Quanzhou, Guangxi, was in front of it. There was a water station in the town called Xiangkou Water Station. The end of the post trip is Shanjiao Mayi.

Because the surface of the Xiangjiang River here is narrowed, and there are many step-shaped ups and downs on the river (no wind note: this description is hard for me, you can refer to Fenghuang Ancient Town), so you can’t go by boat, you have to go to Quanzhou by Mayi, and then go Changed to Shuiyi again to go to Guilin.

However, as soon as the fleet arrived in Huangsha Town, Gao Wushi discovered that something was wrong outside the Shanjiao Mayi.There was a lot of people outside the horse station, at least five or six hundred people gathered together in a chaotic manner.

When the fleet got closer, the boss of the boat smiled and bowed to Gao Wushi and said, "Directly pointing at the master, it should be the people from the Thousand Households in Quanzhou who came to welcome you."

Gao Wushi was taken aback, the group of people in front who were no better than beggars were actually the defenders of the Qianhusuo here?
The discipline of the beggar gang is probably better than yours!
Gao Zhang, the leader of Gao Yushi's entourage this time, has been staring at this group of people for a long time. Hearing what the boss of the boat said, he couldn't help frowning and said to Gao Yushi: "Master, if the Guangxi officers and soldiers It’s all like this, and the little ones can understand why Guangxi has never been able to be stable.”

Gao Yushi's lips moved, but he still didn't speak in the end.

The group of beggar gang disciples... Uh, the officers and soldiers of the Thousand Households finally discovered the fleet, and a group of officers began to hurriedly yell at the entire fleet, but they seemed a little powerless, and they were noisy for a long time. roughly in formation.

It's a pity that even this formation is still crooked and twisted. Gao Zhang, who has been training with Qi Jiguang for more than two years, saw it and wanted to go up and beat people with a whip.

Gao Wushi saw that his face was ugly and he looked uncomfortable all over, so he couldn't help asking: "Gao Zhang, what are you doing?"

Gao Zhang was startled, and then smiled wryly: "Master, I just remembered what General Qi said. He said that if an army can't even form a neat battle formation, no matter how brave the soldiers are, they can only fight." Fighting against the wind will definitely be unreliable at a critical moment."

Gao Wushi nodded approvingly, he agreed with this point, otherwise he would not have emphasized the queue so much at the beginning - well, in fact, the main reason is that he knew this.

At this time, the fleet was ready to dock, and the queue was over there—forget it, it can only be regarded as all standing together, and the queue should be avoided.

The ship docked, and Gao Jiajiading, who had finally managed to get rid of the massive seasickness, disembarked one by one. According to the banner of the censor.

The leader of the beggar army was taken aback by Gao's Ding, who wanted to come up to greet him, but held back in a daze.

It wasn't until Gao Wushi walked down the pier in the blue official robe with the Xiezhi patch on his face, that Qianhu trotted forward with a few subordinates, and when he was two feet away, he plopped. He knelt down, knocked his head on the ground, and said loudly: "Under the command of Guangxi Dusi, Guilin Youwei, Quanzhou Guard Qianhu Office, Qianhu Zhong Dashan actually granted Qianhu Zhong Dashan to pay homage to Jin'an!"

As he knelt down, the people behind him knelt down immediately, and then the calligraphers from the guard station they brought also knelt down in a panic.

Gao Yushi was taken aback by the phrase "Jin'an", because "Jin'an" is usually only used for elders or people with great respect.

He looked at the fifth-grade Qianhu who was wearing a bear patch on his chest, coughed lightly, and said, "Zhong Qianhu, please get up."

Zhong Dashan heard that the inspector master spoke so politely to him, he felt so comfortable that he seemed to be a few pounds lighter, he quickly kowtowed again, flatteringly said: "Pointing directly in front of you, there is no place for a humble official to stand and talk."

Gao Wushi was speechless for a while, and simply turned cold, and said: "Get up, I don't want to bow my head and talk."

Zhong Qianhu was taken aback, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes." Then he got up with a grunt.

Gao Wushi said again: "Everyone get up."

Seeing that their families were devastated, the few people in the back dared to be negligent, and got up quickly when they heard the words, but they seemed a little at a loss, wondering whether they should call the soldiers behind them to get up or not.

Gao Wushi didn't want to embarrass them anymore, he just asked: "You are not in Quanzhou, what are you all running to Huangsha Town to welcome me into the country?"

Zhong Qianhu felt that Gao Yushi was a bit uncertain, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly nodded and bowed down and said: "It is a blessing to be the first to welcome Zhizhi into Guangxi..." When he said this, seeing Gao Yushi's expressionless face , quickly changed the topic back: "It's certainly a blessing of humble rank to come here to greet and point out, but I do have something important to report."

Gao Wu said honestly: I just entered Guangxi, and you have a thousand households in a thousand households report something important?

But after all, this is also his duty as a censor, so this time he nodded and asked: "Since there is something important, please report it as soon as possible."

Zhong Qianhu bowed again and said: "When Zhongcheng learned that Zhizhi would 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 in Guilin. Point at Wan Haihan, and when you point at Dagui, he will definitely apologize in person."

Zhongcheng is one of the elegant titles of the governor. The reason why it is called "Zhongcheng" is because the governor usually carries the title of the right deputy capital censor (the governor has the title of the right capital censor), and the deputy capital censor is equivalent to the former It is called Yushi Zhongcheng, the deputy chief of Dai Yushitai, so it is called this.

Gao Wushi knew that the power of the inspector censor was inflated, and usually the governor would give way to three points, but he had never heard of the inspector taking office, and the governor would personally welcome such a thing.

He wondered in his heart, is this a polite remark from Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi, or is it true that Zhang Ren took pictures of his own background and is really a bit false?

But Zhang Ren is a veteran of Jiajing for 26 years, and he is from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture. He and Xu Jie belong to the Township Party, and he is one of the local officials in the Xinxue Party. He has no reason to be afraid of himself?

As for being sick, Gao Yushi naturally didn't believe it, it was nothing more than a rhetoric.

Gao Yushi couldn't figure out the situation at the moment, so he could only say politely: "It's okay, I'm a latecomer, so I should go to Guilin to meet Zhongcheng."

Zhong Qianhu said again: "I heard that Zhongcheng is seriously ill this time. If Zhizhi is in a hurry, the humble officer is ready, and he can send troops to escort Zhizhi down at any time." - He himself is the guard, of course he can't Leave the country at will, so it is said to send troops.

However, Gao Pragmatic's focus is not at all on his sending troops to escort or something. As far as his subordinates are concerned, they can't make people feel at ease. It would be nice to send two reliable guides.

Gao Yushi was concerned about another matter: "You just said that Zhong Cheng was suddenly ill and was seriously ill?"

"Yes, point directly." Zhong Qianhu bowed again and said, "Zhongcheng has been ill for more than a month, and I heard that his condition has been getting worse. It's really worrying."

Quanzhou is under the jurisdiction of Guilin Prefecture, and it 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.

However, Gao Yushi has never been an honest person. He still has some doubts. As soon as he took office, Zhang Ren fell ill, and he was seriously ill?If what Zhong Qianhu said is true, it was almost when the news that he was going to take office in Guangxi reached Guangxi, Zhang Ren fell ill...

Such a coincidence?
