Jinyi Night Walk

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Mr. Fu is too polite. This...is the governor of the Fuzhou Navy, Chi Zhong. Uncle Chi, this is Mr. Fu."

Chi Zhong hurriedly took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "The last general, Chi Zhong, has met Duke Fu!"

Xia Xun raised his hand to help, and said with a smile: "The general is not polite, Yang has heard the name of the general for a long time, and today he sees his face, he is really calm and dignified, with the style of a general..."

When Xia Xun said this, he suddenly realized that someone was staring at him, and subconsciously glanced away, seeing that somewhat familiar face, he couldn't help being startled.The man was staring at Xia Xun, and when he met his eyes, he couldn't help being startled, and lowered his head awkwardly, trying to hide his appearance, but the two of them were so close, how could they avoid it.

Xia Xun hesitated and said, "This is..."

Xu Jingchang and Chi Zhong noticed that there was something strange in their expressions, Chi Zhong said: "Oh, this man is a personal entourage of the last general, named Gu Zhou, does the Duke recognize him?"

"Ancient boat, ancient boat..."

Xia Xun felt more and more familiar. He was searching his memory in a hurry. The Gu Zhou couldn't stand the three people's scrutiny. , and ask the Duke to forgive me!"

Xia Xunyou remembered it, and said softly, "I remember, you were... when you were in Dezhou..."

The man said harshly: "Yes, it is the villain..."

Xia Xun laughed and said: "So it's you, it's really a fate to meet you from thousands of miles away!"

Chi Zhong asked curiously: "Has there ever been any entanglements between the Duke and the last general?"

Xia Xun smiled and said, "That's all old stuff, so there's no need to mention it again. Gu Zhou, I remember you were a visitor from outside the pass. How did you become a personal follower under General Chizhong?"

When Xia Xun asked, Gu Zhou couldn't help feeling sad. He dominated outside the customs, and many of the visitors were his subordinates. Pingyuan County, Shandong Province molested Xie Yufei once, and the bad luck began.

First, in Pingyuan County, he was thanked for kicking his butt and almost lost his life. He struggled for two days to recover, and in Dezhou Prefecture, he was thanked again by officials, who beat him up for the crime of indecency. After being detained for more than half a month, he finally escaped and plunged into the city of Beijing. However, because the Yanwang Mansion was almost bombed, the Beiping Mansion was arresting the suspect everywhere and sent him to the big prison.This time he couldn't get out, because he had multiple guides, and was sent to the garrison for the crime of forging guides.

Prisoners assigned to the army were generally placed in different places. Southerners were sent to the north, and northerners were sent to the south. In this way, Gu Zhou was sent to the southeast.The military is also a soldier, but they are enlisted for a crime, and they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers. They do not receive military pay, and it is difficult for them to have a chance to be promoted unless they make great contributions.

But this ancient boat is a real person after all. All the visitors outside the customs are extremely fierce, and many of them are robbers who murder and rob goods. Time is like a fish in water, whether it is his wit or his bravery, he is the best choice.

Such a character is by no means a person willing to be mediocre when he joins the army. During several confrontations with the Nanyang thief Chen Zuyi, Chi Zhong found that although he was not good at swimming and could not use a boat, he was extremely brave in battle and capable of doing things well. He has a lot of brains and is by no means a brave man, so he was promoted as a personal guard and kept by his side.

This Gu Zhou is bold and careful, and is good at figuring out what he wants. After coming and going, he became a loyal leader of the army. Unexpectedly, he and Xia Xun met again a few years later.But now that Xia Xun is the Duke of the state, Gu Zhou is really a little nervous. If Xia Xun wants to trouble him, he will have to suffer a lot.

But what is Xia Xun's status now, why would he chase after such a trivial matter, besides, he is now about to use the power of Chizhong, since this person is Chizhong's entourage, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, so he just laughed , and this matter was revealed.Even without mentioning the details, Gu Zhou is now the head of the bodyguard, and he has some status in front of Chi Zhong's soldiers. Gu Zhou is very grateful for Xia Xun's protection.

Xia Xun avoided talking about the ins and outs of the two acquaintances, changed the topic and chatted with Xu Jingchang and Chi Zhong with a smile before entering the living room.He didn't expect that Gu Zhou, a former visitor from the Kwantung region and a soldier from Fuzhou today, would play a great role in his strategy of managing Liaodong later on.

Sitting in the three-person hall, Xia Xun immediately said: "The Chaohu navy has been transferred to the east. It must have arrived in eastern Zhejiang at this moment, and has begun to receive warships and start training. My country is going to meet the Japanese envoy tomorrow, and then I will go east." .When can General Chi's troops gather in eastern Zhejiang?"

This is a business matter. Even though Chi Zhong is old and senior, when faced with inquiries from his superiors, he can't show off. He hurriedly put down his teacup, straightened his figure, and said, "Duke, there is a big thief in southern Fujian, Chen Zuyi. If you are not careful, some soldiers will be brought out at the end, and the Fuzhou navy will have to recruit some people from other guards.

Furthermore, the Fuzhou Navy's warships cannot be dispatched here. When the capital is nearing the end, the Fuzhou Shipyard and Dongguan Shipyard are rushing to build them. Now I think there should be enough warships to be delivered.The general has been waiting in the capital for the order of the Duke, and he doesn't know much about the recent situation in Fuzhou. If the Duke is in a hurry, the general can return to Fuzhou and supervise him. "

Xia Xun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this way, when I set off, you will come with me, and first train the Shuangyu Navy and Chaohu Navy." He glanced at Chi Zhong and said with a pun : "Whether it is the Shuangyu navy or the Chaohu navy, they are all brave and good at fighting, but...the same arrogant and rebellious, like a wild horse that cannot be harnessed.

If you don't obey the general's order and obey the command, no matter how you can fight, you will be a group of scattered soldiers, and it will be difficult to become a great weapon.The Japanese pirates are ruthless, especially better than Nanyang Chen Zuyi. They don't care if you have strict military discipline and strict orders. With such a group of arrogant soldiers, if you are not careful, you will mislead others and yourself. The general must not be careless.As for the Fuzhou navy, they are all people who have been brought in by the general, and they can use them when they come, so they don't have to worry too much. "

Chi Zhong smiled slightly, he could hear the meaning of Xia Xun's words.In fact, when the decree was made at the beginning, he was really not convinced by Xia Xun, a brat, but he would not have any thoughts of resistance and mischief, because Xia Xun gave him the military power to directly command the three-way navy. If he was really going to lose the battle, Xia Xun would be doomed, and he would have to be unlucky too.

After arriving in Beijing, he received orders from Ding Guogong Xu Jingchang, and vaguely knew that Xu Jingchang, the leader of the Xu faction, and Fu Guogong had all voted under the sect of the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi.As a veteran, although he still lacked due respect for Xia Xun, he sincerely wanted to win this battle.

Chi Zhong bowed his body and said: "Your Majesty's advice, the general will keep it in mind. Then follow the Duke's order and go to the east of Zhejiang, and first train the Shuangyu Navy and the Chaohu Navy. The general is a warrior, only know how to obey Order to act, since the Duke puts this burden on the general, will the general dare to die? But... the general heard that someone in the court impeached the general, maybe the emperor will change his mind, when... "

Xia Xun waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Don't listen to their noise! ​​A group of rotten scholars who can only play with pens and talk, they know nothing! What the country wants is a general who can fight. General Chi can't, can they do it? The emperor's place You don't have to worry, no matter what happens, I will take care of it for you! When this battle is won, you will be the governor of the public security of this country!"

Although Chi Zhong has a city in his heart, he couldn't help but be very moved after hearing these words, and quickly clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for the cultivation and trust of the Duke. In the end, I would not bother to argue. The Duke relies so much, and I will be flattered in the end. The matter, I have to explain it clearly to the Duke, in fact, those imperial envoys are skeptical, what they said is not true, and the last general..."

Xia Xun waved his hands and said with a smile: "General Chi doesn't need to say much, I think those imperial envoys are so fucking idle! The nonsense things they said have nothing to do with the general leading the army and expelling the Japanese pirates." Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't fight and quarrel? I have never seen a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this world who don't fight or quarrel.

Why do you abandon your family members and ignore them? Pooh, I have also been blackmailed by rogue relatives. Duke Ding knew about this. If it hadn’t been for Lord Zengshou’s righteous help, Yang would have been exiled for three thousand miles for this matter. , Don't talk about this, don't talk about this, I won't fight when I talk about it!Those personal things are none of their business! "

Chi Zhong originally wanted to explain, but when he heard Xia Xun say this, he laughed it off and said no more.Xia Xun's words were rough for a duke of the state, but a warrior like Chi Zhong was kind to him. He had heard that Duke Fu once passed the examination as a scholar. As a literati, I was worried about not being able to get along with him, but since we met, Xia Xun's words and deeds have all met his wishes, and Chi Zhong really felt close to him.

When the three of them talked about the place of prosperity, the servants brought a table of wine, and the three of them sat down to drink and talk while drinking.At the banquet, Xu Jingchang said: "The Japanese envoys have already arrived in the capital, the Duke will go to East Zhejiang after meeting them?"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "That's right, people always want to meet. In the morning, I will ask Honglu Temple to bring people to meet."

Xu Jingchang wondered: "Honghe Temple? When did they move to Honghe Temple?"

Xia Xun was also a little strange when he heard this: "Aren't all the envoys from Fanbang placed in Honglu Temple?"

Xu Jingchang said: "The foreign envoys are all received by the Ministry of Rites. Generally speaking, they will be arranged in Honglu Temple. But this time the Japanese envoys are monks, so they are arranged to go to Tianjie Temple. Master Daoyan Reception. Why, didn't the Duke understand their situation first?"

Although Xia Xun was a little surprised, he just shook his head and smiled, and said calmly: "No, what I want to talk about, they can't decide, they are just messengers, and they are too lazy to waste time on him. However, since they are with Master Daoyan, It’s not easy to put on airs, I’ll just go to Tianjie Temple tomorrow!”
