The Founding of the Red Chamber

In the past, Lin Jing knew Xia Sanlang's details because he didn't know much about the news in the capital.However, the details of Governor Zheng, regardless of Lin Jing's ability to recite Governor Zheng's resume, this is due to his extraordinary memory.However, Lin Jing didn't know which family Governor Zheng was from.

Only now did Lin Jing realize that he had really misunderstood Governor Zheng.

Governor Zheng is not from any family, he is neither from the Xie family, nor from the Kong family, this governor is big, he is really a loyal minister with dignity!

It's strange that Chen Qibao can give Governor Zheng another chance for Huaiyang's disastrous defeat. Governor Zheng, this is definitely a loyal minister of the imperial court, a loyal minister of His Majesty!

If such loyal ministers can't do it, they directly write a letter to transfer a second-rank general to the war zone.

Moreover, the officialdom has always paid attention to the faction of the gang.

Like Tu Xiaosan, as we all know, this is a confidant who was single-handedly picked up by Governor Zhang.Hey, Governor Zheng made the adjustment as he said, have you discussed it with Governor Zhang?Have you greeted General Lin in advance?

Lin Jing believed that Governor Zheng did not do any of these two things, and he simply wrote a letter directly to His Majesty the Emperor.

What's even more amazing is that His Majesty the Emperor directly agreed.

Lin Jing was convinced that the success of Zhejiang and Fujian's anti-corruption really gave Chen Qibao unlimited confidence, and also gave Chen Qibao, the adoptive emperor, the spirit of being an emperor.Even if it is transferred in the court, the emperor should also ask his courtiers what he thinks, right?

Chen Qibao really, it was a one-off order.

Of course, Tu Xiaosan didn't dare not go.

Unless he escapes, otherwise, resisting the decree is a death penalty.

Lin Jing said with emotion, "The world will be in chaos, and evildoers will emerge."

Those with brain problems all came out and jumped.

Before the army set off, Lin Jing still wrote a letter to the governor's office, talking about the transfer of Xiaosan to Huaiyang by the court.In the letter, Lin Jing sighed with emotion, the imperial decree came down suddenly, and he was ordered to set off.

When the letter reached the Governor's Mansion, Governor Zhang was also speechless because of the court's hand.However, he would not doubt Tu Xiaosan's loyalty.Governor Zhang can't help it right now, the imperial court's decree has been issued, so Governor Zhang has to ask Tu Xiaosan to arrange the affairs of Quanzhou before going to Huaiyang.

Tu Xiaosan was actually not very happy to go to Huaiyang, he was in Zhejiang and Fujian, and even though he had Governor Zhang as his immediate boss, Governor Zhang was a very understanding person, and the two got along very well.Moreover, it is true that Tu Xiaosan is in Quanzhou, who wants to go to Huaiyang to clean up the mess.What's more, if this mess is cleaned up, it is naturally a great achievement.But from Tu Xiaosan's point of view, the Huaiyang mess is not easy to deal with.

Furthermore, Tu Xiaosan was not very happy about what Governor Zheng did.He is a second-rank general. Even if Governor Zheng called him to help clean up the mess, he should have been notified in advance.Without saying a word, he directly asked the court for instructions.Don't we need to make arrangements here in Quanzhou? I never heard that Tu Xiaosan was leaving. Governor Kong, who never liked Tu Xiaosan to overwhelm him, couldn't help but feel panic. Without him, if Tu Xiaosan left, the Japanese Bandits come again, but what to do!

Therefore, Governor Kong must have his disciple Xiaosan make proper arrangements for the city defense of Quanzhou City before leaving.

Even Zhifu Xie, who has always been at odds with Governor Kong, also meant this.Only when Quanzhou City is properly arranged can Tu Xiaosan be let go.The two said very sincerely, "Your Excellency has been in Quanzhou this year, no matter the people or us, we are grateful and respectful to Your Excellency, and I only hope that Your Excellency and I will stay in this city of Quanzhou for a long time. Who would have expected that the edict would come down suddenly today, my lord, we are reluctant to part with your lord—"

Kong and Xie's repeated melody made Tu Xiaosan feel goosebumps all over his body.Tu Xiaosan sighed, "We in Quanzhou looked a little different just now, how could I bear to part with you?"

"Isn't that exactly what you said?" Governor Kong said, "I also know that Huaiyang was attacked by the Japanese, but we in Quanzhou also fought hard. In the past two years, how many Japanese bandits have been robbed? If you leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the lower officials to sleep peacefully."

Xie Zhifu also said, "Your Excellency is here, and the Japanese bandits will never dare to attack you when they hear about your prestige. Once Your Excellency leaves home, they are afraid that there will be war in the city."

Tu Xiaosan said, "The court transfers orders, His Majesty's decree, what can I do."

The two asked, "Your Excellency, please think of a perfect plan for us."

Tu Xiaosan thought for a while, and finally left [-] troops for Quanzhou City. Then, Yan Dalang is now also a deputy general, and he was transferred to Quanzhou General.On the other hand, Mr. He's nephew, Xiao He is also a capable person.However, Xiao He has always been a civil servant, so he let Xiao He stay with Yan Dalang. In this way, the two of them have one civil and one military.If there are any shortages in the army, just recruit more soldiers and horses.

Tu Xiaosan naturally also told the two about the important points of fighting against the Japanese, so that not only the two were slack.

It was already March that Tu Xiaosan officially broke camp and went to Huaiyang.

Lin Jing sent Shi Silang to take a step ahead to take a look at the place Huaiyang had prepared for the placement of soldiers and horses.This time in Huaiyang, Lin Jing was not afraid of anything else, only worried that Xia Sanlang would recognize him.

Tu Xiaosan is also worried about this matter, but the two of them have gone through many ups and downs, and the current situation, even if they are worried, they have to go to Huaiyang for a walk.

At this moment, when Tu Xiaosan arrived in Huaiyang, he was indeed warmly welcomed by Governor Zheng.Governor Zheng simply brought all the officials of Jinling City out of the city to greet him, even though he was an apprentice, Xiaosan was humble again and again, and said directly to the Governor, "I'm down from office, how can I afford it." Solemnly greeted the Governor , and then met each other with his colleagues, and acted in a humble manner.Fang made the officials of all sizes in Jinling, except Governor Zheng, feel more comfortable.

Originally, although this junior is a high-ranking official, but he didn't come to Huaiyang to take up his post, there is some serious reception wine, but let us all come outside the city to greet him, what does this mean, the governor is also very polite!It is not one or two who are not convinced, fortunately, Tu Xiaosan has a humble attitude, always puts the governor first, and is extremely polite with his colleagues, even if there are many officials who are not as good as him, Tu Xiaosan is also full of courtesy, In this way, the hearts of these officials, big and small, are a little better.

Governor Zheng held Tu Xiaosan's hand and said with a smile, "I've been looking forward to General Lin for a long time, General, I miss you."

Tu Xiaosan said in his heart, fortunately Governor Zheng is old, otherwise, I must have misunderstood.On the lips, he said, "After receiving the imperial edict, I should have come here immediately. However, because I didn't know the order before, I didn't make any arrangements for the military affairs in Quanzhou City. Now, it is so late. Please forgive me, Governor."

Governor Zheng laughed and said, "Forgive me, you Governor Kong, because I robbed him, still read me a book in front of the imperial court, saying that I am overbearing. Hahaha, I really love talents. We in Huaiyang are short of forests. Only a brave man like the Great General can overwhelm the Japanese."

"My lord is overrated." It was the first time that Tu Xiaosan had seen such a superior who would bring hatred to him. Although Governor Zheng might really hope that Tu Xiaosan was looking forward to it, but now this battle, there is still what Governor Zheng said With these words, if Tu Xiaosan's battle in Huaiyang is unfavorable, there will be countless people who will make trouble.

Everyone was talking, and each got on his own horse, and each got on his own cart.

Governor Zheng wanted Tu Xiaosan to ride with him, but Tu Xiaosan refused, so he had to agree.

Lin Jing has always been in a car, but his current status is Tu Xiaosan's aide, so his car ranks relatively low.It's just that Tu Xiaosan is a general, and Tu Xiaosan rides horses, so all the soldiers under his command ride with horses and walk without horses.In the entire team, apart from some carriages carrying personal belongings, Lin Jing was the only carriage with people in it.

Fortunately, these days, the line was long, and Lin Jing's car was far away from the cars and sedan chairs of the adults, so no one noticed for a while.

Lin Jing and Xia Sanlang met for the first time at Tu Xiaosan's reception banquet.

Tu Xiaosan was obviously brought to Huaiyang by Governor Zheng as a firefighting team, so his welcome banquet was naturally lively.Lin Jing, as Tu Xiaosan's staff, can also have a seat in the outer room.The outer room of this outer room is full of staff.Because Lin Jing is Tu Xiaosan's staff, Lin Jing ranks second among the staff, he is one seat higher than Xia Sanlang's staff.If it wasn't for Lin Jing's insistence on giving way, everyone would have pushed him to the first place.

It was Lin Jing who said modestly again and again, "Then I really can't take a sip of wine or eat a sip of food." Mr. Fu Lao, the aide of Governor Zheng, was invited to sit at the head of the aides.Everyone was very polite to Lin Jing, especially since he was so young.Everyone didn't talk about it, but they couldn't help but secretly speculate in their hearts, thinking that this General Lin had outstanding military exploits at a young age, and now looking at General Lin's staff, he is extremely young.

This reception wine, everyone is nothing more than a family routine, to meet each other.If you want to talk about deep friendship, there is no such thing.

When the Fengfeng Wine inside was dispersed, the Fengfeng Wine outside them also dispersed.Lin Jing was waiting for Tu Xiaosan outside. Spring in the south of the Yangtze River in March is already the season of blooming flowers, but the night is still a bit cold.Lin Jing stood by the car, wearing a thick cloak, and saw Xia Sanlang and Tu Xiaosan approaching from a distance, talking and laughing. That night, the moonlight was extremely beautiful, and Lin Jing seemed to be immersed in the moonlight.He is already an outstanding character, even though his face is concealed, under the moonlight, Xia Sanlang can only see his snow-white face, black eyes, handsome nose, tall and tall body, Xia Sanlang faintly feels that this person is somewhat familiar , but I can't remember anything.He has an excellent memory, if he has seen such characters before, he must not forget them.Xia Sanlang was quite puzzled in his heart, and said, "Whose son is this? He is so handsome."

Seeing that Xia Sanlang didn't seem to recognize Lin Jing, Tu Xiaosan breathed a sigh of relief, and introduced the two with a smile, "This is my sworn brother, the Governor calls him Ah Qing."

Lin Jing and Xia Sanlang saluted at the meeting, and Xia Sanlang heard that he was Tu Xiaosan's sworn brother, he returned the half salute with a smile, and said to Tu Xiaosan, "For a character like your younger brother, the general would not even mention a recommendation when he was drinking. If it wasn't for him I have good eyesight, so I’m afraid I’ll miss it.”

Tu Xiaosan smiled, "Ah Qing is too strong to drink, it's the same as drinking with others outside."

Governor Xia said some polite words, most of his attention was on Tu Xiaosan today, although he felt that Lin Jing was extraordinarily charming, but tonight, he only exchanged a few words with Tu Xiaosan, and the two left and went home.

On the way back home, Xia Sanlang even said to his aide, Mr. Zhao, "Mr. Qing, have you met, sir?"

Mr. Zhao said, "That is General Lin's staff. I heard that his surname is Li, and he has a reputation as a scholar. Seeing that he is young, he speaks very well."

Xia Sanlang leaned on the back of the car, a little surprised, "You are a scholar at such a young age, why didn't you continue the imperial examination?"

Mr. Zhao laughed, "I don't know."

Since it was the first meeting with Lin Jing, how could Mr. Zhao know this, but Mr. Zhao asked, "My lord, how is that great general?"

Xia Sanlang moved his mind away from Lin Jing, and said sternly, "I think it's right. Although he doesn't talk much, he's not the kind of smooth-faced person, but he is very proficient in military affairs." He sighed, " I only hope that General Lin can trust Huaiyang God."
