marquis of jingan

Chapter 689

The speed of riding a horse is naturally much faster than riding a carriage. After more than ten days of driving all the way, Shen Yi and his party finally entered the territory of Guangzhou.

After entering the Guangzhou mansion, because of the hot weather all the way, coupled with the exhaustion of traveling, Mr. Shen couldn't bear it, so he stopped riding a horse, but asked Jiang Sheng to hire a carriage and sit in the carriage. .

The accompanying thirty riders followed the carriage, guarding Shen Yi's carriage.

When Shen Yi and his party were still about thirty or forty miles away from the Guangzhou mansion, a group of dozens of riders ran up to Shen Yi along the official road. When the leading man saw Shen Yi's carriage, he immediately jumped off his mount and faced him. Shen Yi half knelt down on the carriage, bowed his head and cupped his fists.

"Subordinate Xue Wei, pay homage to Duke Shen!"

Xue Wei got off the horse and saluted, and the subordinates behind him got off the horse naturally, knelt down in unison on the official road, bowed their heads deeply: "Meet Shen Gong!"

Shen Yi did not inform the local government along the way of Shen Yi's itinerary, but let the Di Baosi inform Xue Wei's subordinates, so Xue Wei ran for more than 30 miles to meet him.

Master Shen in the carriage coughed, his voice was weak.

"You don't need to be too polite, just get up."

Only then did Xue Wei and the others stand up. The Deputy Commander of the Anti-Japanese Army clasped his fists at Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen, should you advance to Guangzhou City, or come to our Anti-Japanese Army's garrison first."

Master Shen's voice was a little low: "Let's go back to the station first, Xue Wei, you get in the carriage."

Xue Wei responded, and stooped into the carriage of Shen Yi's carriage. He was already strong, and in addition to eating meat and practicing strength these years, he is now estimated to weigh [-] to [-] catties. After entering the carriage, the carriage It was crowded all of a sudden.

However, the car Shen Yi hired was quite spacious, and it could fit in it.

After Xue Wei came in, Shen Yi said to Jiang Sheng: "Go on."

Jiang Sheng, who was driving the carriage, nodded and continued on his way in the carriage.

After Xue Wei entered the carriage, he saw Shen Yi in a summer shirt, sitting in the corner of the carriage, his face slightly pale.

Xue Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Shen, what's wrong with you?"

"I think it's because the climate is not acclimatized."

Master Shen said weakly: "I didn't feel well a few days ago, but I got a little hot yesterday."

"If I were riding a horse, I should have been able to arrive the day before yesterday, but I was delayed by riding a carriage these days."

Seeing this, Xue Wei felt a little anxious. He looked back at Jiang Sheng and said, "Brother Jiang, let's go to Guangzhou Fucheng first. There are doctors in Fucheng. It is important to treat Shen Gong!"

Jiang Sheng didn't respond immediately, but looked at Shen Yi with some embarrassment, and then looked at Xue Wei: "General Xue..."

Xue Wei looked back at Shen Yi, and said, "Mr. Shen, everything is fine in the anti-Japanese army garrison. Your illness cannot be delayed. Let's go to the city now."

Shen Yi nodded weakly.

"Okay, let's go into the city."

Xue Wei let out a long sigh of relief, opened the curtain of the car, and shouted at the subordinates outside, telling them to lead the way before turning to Guangzhou City.

When Xue Wei retracted his head, Master Shen supported Shen Yi with his hands, sat up Shen Yi, and sighed: "My body is still a little weaker."

"Mr. Shen is wrong."

Xue Wei said: "You are from the south of the Yangtze River. When you come to Guangdong suddenly, it is common for you to be unaccustomed to the environment. Besides, you have been riding a horse for more than ten days. You can't bear it even for a strong man."

General Xue said with emotion: "Since I was a child, I have heard and seen that civil servants and masters, no matter how far or near they go, most of them take sedan chairs or carriages when they go out. Only you, Mr. Shen, have ridden on horseback for more than ten days."

"It's already pretty amazing."

Shen Yi's body is indeed not weak, even among the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army, his physical fitness can be ranked in the upper middle, but no matter how strong the body is, it is inevitable that he will get sick sometimes.

Now he is really weak.

After taking a few deep breaths, he looked at Xue Wei and asked, "You've been in Guangdong for a few months, have you met any magistrates in Guangdong?"

"I have seen."

Xue Wei said: "The local officials in Guangdong are not bad. When we suppress the Japanese in various prefectures, they will take the initiative to send food. A few days ago, after we wiped out the main force of the Japanese pirates, we stationed outside the city of Guangzhou. The prefect of Guangzhou also brought Some people sent some pigs, cattle and sheep over to serve us meat."

"Um…"

Master Shen replied feebly, closed his eyes slightly, and said: "From now on, don't call him the Anti-Japanese Army anymore, Xiaoli is petty. From now on, the people under your command will be the Guangzhou Guards."

He opened his eyes and looked at Xue Wei, and asked, "How many people are under his command now, is it enough for 5000 people?"

Xue Wei shook his head.

"The subordinates brought 2000 people into Guangdong, and when they were fighting the Japanese pirates, they temporarily recruited about 2000 people. However, according to Shen Gong's instructions, one of the two thousand-household camps that the subordinates brought to Guangdong had to be divided, so Calculated, the manpower here in Guangdong is only 3000 people..."

Shen Yi nodded silently, then closed his eyes and said, "One of the two thousand-household battalions under your command must be sent to Quanzhou, where the Quanzhou Guard will be set up. However, as the acting commander of the Quanzhou Guard, I plan to use Liu Mingyuan."

He opened his eyes again and looked at Xue Wei, and asked, "Do you have any comments?"

Xue Wei shook his head: "No subordinate!"

Shen Yi was silent for a while, then continued: "I don't want you to do bloodletting, you should also find a competent person under your command, and I will send him back to Yueqing to take charge of Wenzhou Wei."

The Qianhu Battalion in Wenzhou Wei was under Ling Su's command.

In this way, while the anti-Japanese army was reorganized into the coastal capital, Shen Yi also completed a disruption to the original anti-Japanese army.

As for Ling Su and Xue Wei's respective Fuzhou Wei and Guangzhou Wei, Shen Yi is not going to disturb them.

Xue Wei bowed his head and said: "All subordinates will listen to your arrangement, Mr. Shen."

As the direct descendant of Master Shen, Xue Wei can be said to be obedient to Shen Yi, and he will do what Shen Yi says.

Shen Yi is not in a good mood at the moment, and when he said this, his mind was a little bit unresponsive. After shaking his head, he said: "I will tell you this first, and I will tell you the rest when I recover from my illness." You elaborate."

"The conscription of the Guangzhou Guard cannot be stopped. At the latest next spring, the Ministry of War will appoint you as the commander of the Guangzhou Guard."

"Before then, train the 5000 Guangzhou Guards well, don't slack off..."

Seeing Shen Yi's pale face, Xue Wei couldn't help interrupting Shen Yi. He lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, please rest for a while, don't talk anymore, and rest at ease."

After Shen Yi heard this, after being silent for a while, he nodded silently.

He was indeed a little tired.

He leaned against the carriage and took a nap for a while.

The speed of the carriage was not fast, and it was not until evening that they finally entered the city of Guangzhou. Duan Chong of the Guangzhou Dibao Department had already waited at the gate of the city early. After seeing Shen Yi's carriage, he immediately led Shen Yi's carriage and entered. A house in Guangzhou city.

Duan Chong was one of the seven team leaders of the Mansion News Agency appointed by Shen Yi back then. When Shen Yi sent him out from Jiankang, he was asked to establish the Mansion News Agency in Guangzhou Mansion.

It's just that later, he was in charge of the newspaper bureaus in Fuguang and Guangxi provinces. This time, the Anti-Japanese Army's successful suppression of Japanese in Fujian and Guangdong was largely due to Duan Chong's contribution.

Because he slept for a while on the road, Shen Yi felt better now. When he got off the carriage, Xue Wei and Duan rushed forward, ready to support him from left to right.

Shen Yi shook his head, indicating that he could go, so the two followed him, one left and one right.

After entering the house, Shen Yi looked at the scale of the house, and then sighed to Duan Chong on the left: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Si Zheng, you are too polite."

Duan Chong lowered his head slightly and said, "It's my honor to be able to work for you."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "This subordinate has already sent someone to invite a famous doctor from Guangzhou Prefecture. Si Zheng, please wait here for a while, and he will be there soon."

Shen Yi looked up at the already dark night outside, and shook his head helplessly: "It's so late, don't use force."

Duan Chong said with a smile: "Si Zheng, our report office is a serious job in the imperial court, how can we use force against the common people?"

While speaking, the three of them had already entered the main hall of the house. There were many lights hanging in the main hall, illuminating the hall quite brightly.

After Shen Yi sat down at the main seat, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea. After a while, he looked at Duan Chong and asked, "Do you know Zhu Gui, Governor of Guangdong?"

Duan Chong was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "This subordinate has been in Guangdong for several years, so he naturally knows something about it."

Shen Yi nodded, and asked again: "How is this person's official voice?"

Duan Chong glanced at Shen Yi's expression cautiously, as if he was thinking about how to tell Shen Yi.

Shen Yi rubbed the center of his brows and asked, "Is it very bad?"

"Ah."

Duan Chong nodded, and said, "Sizheng, this Zhu Futai, the official reputation is indeed not good, there is no shortage of lust for money, especially money..."

He lowered his head and said, "In Guangdong, especially in Guangzhou, it is known as "Zhou Dadi"..."

"I have served as the governor of Guangdong for four years. He has already married ten concubines in Guangdong, and has countless private affairs. As for the property under his name and his hometown..."

"That would be countless."

Duan Chong bowed his head and said: "There are rumors that Zhu Futai has hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in his hometown, accounting for almost half of the land in a county. People call it Zhu Bancheng."

Master Shen frowned.

"So rampant?"

Duan Chong bowed his head again and said, "Sizheng, this is Guangzhou Mansion, [-] miles away from Jiankang, the real sky is high..."

As a public official, he still hasn't finished the five words Tiangao Emperor Yuan.

"And this Zhu Futai is very capable. In the past few years in Guangdong, everyone from top to bottom has been subdued by him..."

"Guangdong is one province from top to bottom, and no one can go to Jiankang to file a complaint. Naturally, everything will be fine, and I heard..."

"I heard that this Zhu Futai also has a background in Jiankang, and has a good relationship with several prime ministers..."

Shen Yi rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

The background mentioned by Duan Chong probably refers to Zhang Jian's grandfather Zhang Jing!
Zhu scraped, Zhu Bancheng...

Hearing these two aliases, Master Shen let out a foul breath, only feeling that his mind was even more chaotic.

"Zhang Dang... Shouldn't it be Qingliu?"
