The Founding of the Red Chamber

No matter how many quarrels there were between Governor Kong and Zhifu Xie, at this moment, when they saw Tu Xiaosan, their feelings were unanimously unified—that is, General Lin came back too timely!

The hearts of the two hanging on the top of the city wall were finally put into their stomachs after Tu Xiaosan wiped out the Japanese bandits besieging the city.

In fact, to be a local official, losing one's land is a felony, such as Quanzhou City, this year it is really an iron-clad Quanzhou City, an official with flowing water.Moreover, the replacement of officials is not to mention how fast. In just one year, the governor changed twice, and the prefect changed three times. Without him, the first two prefects were killed by Japanese bandits.It's not that you can't abandon the city and run away. For example, when the former governor saw the Japanese bandits coming, he was frightened and ran away with his own people. Then, the governor escaped the Japanese bandit's long knife. This incident gave him another knife in the neck.Think you'll be fine if you escape?Losing land is a death penalty.Therefore, even though the two newly appointed Kong Xie had a dispute over the administration of Quanzhou City, they had already made preparations in the face of the siege of the Japanese bandits. They would rather die in battle than abandon the city.

Seeing Tu Xiaosan leading an army here today is like seeing a savior.

However, the two were very anxious to welcome their apprentice Xiaosan, but the city gate could not be opened for a while.

It took half an hour to open the city gate, but Tu Xiaosan didn't know why, but when the city gate opened, Tu Xiaosan found out that in order to defend the city, the gates were filled with sand to prevent the Japanese bandits from breaking through the gates. enter.This is also Governor Kong's determination to stick to it to the death, so Tu Xiaosan dismounts from his horse and greets Governor Kong.Governor Kong helped Tu Xiaosan to support him, and said with a smile, "You don't need to be polite when you're wearing armor. Thankfully you came back in time, otherwise I'll be delayed for a few days, I don't know what to do."

Tu Xiaosan said, "After receiving the letter from the lord, I set off immediately, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, unexpectedly, the Japanese bandits arrived at our Quanzhou city first."

Xie Zhifu smiled and said, "Just come back."

Talkative stuff!Governor Kong scolded Zhifu Xie in his heart, held Tu Xiaosan's hand, turned a blind eye to the bloody aura on Tu Xiaosan's body, and without the slightest dislike, said with a smile, "Come, let's talk in the city."

The magistrate Xie noticed that most of the officers and men under Tu Xiaosan had saddle horses leading heads, and he was startled at first. The main reason is that literati are used to political strife, and they are really not very good at these things, let alone familiar with them. .However, Zhifu Xie's psychological quality is different after all, and Zhifu Xie couldn't help asking, "General Lin also encountered Japanese bandits on the road?"

Tu Xiaosan said, "About [-] people have been beheaded, and their heads are brought here. After the statistics are counted, the soldiers can discuss their merits."

Governor Kong's face was serious, "It's such a fast journey." He said again, "I don't know what happened to other places?" .

However, Tu Xiaosan won this big victory and returned without saying anything, and relieved the siege of Quanzhou. Governor Kong was very happy, said a few words in the governor's office, and asked Tu Xiaosan to rest and wash first, and he personally set up drinks for Tu Xiaosan Take the wind and wash the dust!On the other hand, people are also asked to clean up the corpses of Japanese bandits outside the city, and burn what should be burned and bury what should be buried, otherwise, all the corpses will be left outside the city, fearing that it will cause epidemics.Tu Xiaosan's body was covered with dust and blood from the recent battle, and he was not polite to Governor Kong, he cupped his hands and said, "Then I will go change my clothes first, and I will come back later to say hello to the governor, and report on the battle on the way."

"Go, let's go." Governor Kong saw how pleasing Tu Xiaosan was, and after sending Xie Hefu and others away, Governor Kong Fang and his son said, "This General Lin really deserves to be a famous general in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Kong Fanyu also said, "Those Japanese bandits, I saw that they were quite arrogant under the city at first, but under General Lin's horseshoes, they are like loose sand."

Governor Kong said with emotion, "If the soldiers in Fujian are like the soldiers under General Lin, why worry about the Japanese bandits?"

Seeing the deep haggardness on his father's face, Kong Fanyu thought of how his father could sleep peacefully during the battle of defending the city in the past few days, and persuaded, "Governor Zhang transferred General Lin to our Quanzhou, which shows that Governor Zhang is also single-minded. It is necessary to wipe out the Japanese bandits. There are good generals in this city, and soldiers are available, and the crisis in Quanzhou City has been resolved, so father should rest for a while."

Governor Kong said, "No way, the city needs to be appeased, and the corpses of Japanese bandits outside the city must also be cleaned up."

Kong Fanyu said, "Let the father leave these trivial matters to his son. If the son is unclear about something, it's the same to ask Mr. Yang for advice. Besides, it's not just about inviting General Lin to drink at night, it's also good for father to rest up a little. "

There was a son who persuaded him so much, not to mention that Governor Kong brought this son here because Kong Fanyu was the most capable son under Governor Kong's knees.Seeing what his son said, Governor Kong agreed.Kong Fanyu personally sent his father to the bedroom, waited for his father to rest, and then went out to preside over the general affairs of Quanzhou City.

Kong Fanyu has always been meticulous in his work, but unexpectedly, the magistrate Yamen also sent someone to help.Fortunately, Magistrate Xie has always been tactful. Although he tried to compete with Governor Kong for power, he knew where to retreat and put the governor's office first in everything.

The prefect Xie is also very tired, Quanzhou city has been repeatedly attacked by soldiers, and they have just arrived in office, if there is any good or bad in Quanzhou city, with his ingenuity, the only way is to die in the city.

Now that everyone is safe, Zhifu Xie couldn't help but sighed heavily when he returned to the government office.Miss Xie brought out the bird's nest, and while serving her father to use it, she said, "I heard that General Lin wiped out the Japanese bandits, and now the city is peaceful. Father, put your heart in your stomach first."

Xie Zhifu ate the bird's nest soup and said, "Yes, I can put my heart in my stomach."

Miss Xie couldn't help asking curiously, "Father, I heard that General Lin killed the Japanese bandit within a few hours after he came back. That General Lin is really brave!"

"That's natural." Xie Zhifu said, "Two years ago he just donated a five-rank thousand household, but now he is from the third rank, and in terms of official rank, he is half a rank higher than his father. Because of his outstanding achievements."

Miss Xie couldn't help but said, "Father, this General Lin is surnamed Lin, is he from the Lin family?"

"Where do you want to go? If the surname is Lin, it is the Lin family." Xie Zhifu laughed, "Although this General Lin is surnamed Lin, he has nothing to do with Cheng'en Gongfu. He is from the south of the Yangtze River and originally lived by the sea. In the fishing village, because he went out to sell goods, he was not in the village. As a result, the village was attacked by Japanese bandits, and the whole family died."

Miss Xie heard that General Lin's background was so pitiful, so she couldn't help saying, "The Japanese bandits are really hateful!"

Xie Zhifu smiled, didn't say any more, went to rest after eating bird's nest soup, and asked his daughter to wake him up in the afternoon to attend the banquet at the Governor's Mansion.

After a battle, Tu Xiaosan immediately became the number one celebrity in Quanzhou City!
