Chapter 140 139 Go to the hometown for another test

The great victory in Wangjiangjing was a major event that only happened last month.

In May, the Minister of War of Nanjing and the Governor of the Japanese Suppression Zhang Jing ordered the general Lu Tong to lead a large army of water to attack more than 4,000 Japanese pirates who invaded Jiaxing. Lu Tong took Peng Suchen, the Baojing Xuanwei Division from Huguang and the local soldiers as the vanguards, and fought with the Japanese pirates in Shitangwan.

After the defeat of the Japanese pirates, they had to retreat to the beach. Deputy General Yu Dayou led Peng Yinan, the Yongshun Xuanwei Division, from Huguang, and the local soldiers to pursue them along the way. Finally, with the joint efforts of the Baojing army that caught up, they completely defeated the Japanese pirates in Wangjiangjing.

The Japanese pirate team with more than 4,000 people fled at the time, which became the biggest success since the use of troops in the Southeast.

Originally, it was impossible for people like Lao Kan to know such news.

But didn't he know Wei Guangde?

What else is more informed than the Weishu?

The year before yesterday, in order to strengthen the efforts to suppress Japanese troops in the south, Emperor Jiajing appointed the governor of the Nanjing Ministry of War Zhang Jing, the governor of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian and Huguang, to specialize in the fight against Japanese troops.

To this end, Zhang Jing drew elite troops from Huguang and other places to fight along the coast.

However, the Japanese pirates were similar to the Mongolian Tartars. They drove ships and attacked from north to south, making the government troops unable to defend themselves, and they had a bit of the scent of the cavalry coming and going like the wind.

This time, a huge Japanese pirate team was finally captured in Jiaxing, and with the cooperation of the various troops, he finally won a great victory.

Wei Guangde saw the news from Weisuotang newspaper a few days ago. He finally achieved such a remarkable record. The Nanjing Ministry of War not only sent it to Beijing for 800 miles, but also conveyed the news of victory to various southern provinces, hoping to arouse the morale of the garrison troops in various places.

Later, when he was in the prefecture, Wei Guangde spread the news of the victory in the Japanese suppression, which made the whole room full of students excited.

The young students of this era have blood, but their bones are weak.

The Japanese pirate rebellion since the 31st year of Jiajing, and after the establishment of the Japanese governor in the second year, finally achieved results two years later. I don’t know if the emperor who cultivated immortals in Beijing would be excited to take more pills to help the fun when he saw such good news.

Half a month later, six large ships gradually left the dock, first down the river, then turned to Poyang Lake, and then into Ganjiang River. The target was naturally Nanchang Prefecture City.

All six large ships were sand ships, and they were only transferred to Jiujiang Guard in the past two years. The ship was young and the conditions were naturally good.

Four of the large ships were naturally for the scholars to live in, and the other two large ships in front and back were warships, with complete military equipment on them, which was dispatched to ensure the safety of the fleet.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the fleet entered Ganjiang in a few days and arrived at the wharf outside Nanchang City within a few days.

Standing at the bow of the boat and the shimmering river water at his feet, Wei Guangde smiled at Lao Kan beside him and said, "I finally missed the time. I just arrived in Nanchang City today."

"That's right, if the fleet delays two days on the road, I'm afraid Yuan Shu will be tanned."

What Lao Kan said was naturally the Zeng Yuanshu and the Zeng Yuanrui brothers who were waiting for them at the dock.

After setting up the itinerary, he naturally arranged for people to send them to Zeng Yuanshu, Nanchang Prefecture.

There are many people here this time. If you don’t find someone to arrange the inn in advance, you may not be able to live together.

It was already July, and it was autumn.

However, in the past two years, Jiangxi has undergone great changes. At this time, the weather is still as hot as April and May, which seems to indicate that this winter may be super cold again.

I don’t know why, but most of the people think this way when the weather is here.

This seems to be the case in the past few years. Once August enters, the weather is still the same as summer, which often indicates the coldness of winter.

The fleet docked and everyone disembarked one by one.

Wei Guangde asked Zhang Ji to give some rewards to the soldiers on several large ships. Along the way, these people took good care of them, scholars and students. Regardless of whether it was the order to go up to the top, Wei Guangde felt that he should give them some benefits.

After getting off the boat, we met with Zeng Yuanshu's brotherhood and greeted each other again.

Wei Guangde and Zeng Yuanrui are more familiar with Zeng Yuanrui than Zeng Yuanshu. After all, this elder brother is close to his cousin. Wei Guangde is often treated as a child by Zeng Yuanshu, so Wei Guangde is more willing to communicate with Zeng Yuanrui.

"You are not very good at this hospital examination."

Wei Guangde teased Zeng Yuanrui and said.

Last year, Zeng Yuanrui passed the examination for the mansion and became a child, but he was similar to his brother and had failed the examination for the hospital twice in a row.

"Hi, I don't have enough knowledge and I'm not lucky."

At this time, Zeng Yuanrui was much more mature, but he didn't say much, just pretended to sigh.

"hehe."

Wei Guangde always said that he was lucky enough to pass the college entrance examination because he was lucky. Perhaps the sentence in the article corrected the examiner's temper and pointed him.

Zeng Yuanrui’s words meant that he humbly admitted that his grades were not good, and then he said that his luck was not as good as you, and he was mostly teasing.

A large group of people, more than 20 people were taking the exam, and many of them came with servants, only more than 40 people.

So many people gathered together, and it was inevitable that they would not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers near the docks. However, at this time, it was the provincial examination. Most of the people in this group were dressed up by students, while the outside was dressed as servants. Naturally, others understood what they were here for, and no one came forward to check their ID cards.

"When you have all the people, then go to the city and arrange your living place."

Zeng Yuanshu looked around and didn't pull him down. He smiled and said to them, "I'd better stay in that inn and book the small building in the backyard. Calculate the person you said in your letter, and it's just enough to live there. I told the shopkeeper that I'll arrange for a waiter to wait at the gate of the yard these days. No matter what you want, just ask them to do it."

Zeng Yuanshu talked about his arrangements to everyone, then waved his hand to the distance, and there was a team of carriages leaning there. It was obviously the carriages prepared by Zeng Yuanshu in advance to contact the carriage shop.

I can only say that there are really a lot of people here this time. If you don’t contact us in advance, you will definitely not find enough cars for them to use.

When Wei Guangde heard that it was the inn, he naturally had no objection. He had been living there before, and he took the college entrance examination and the provincial examination. The conditions were still very good.

The manager of the convoy next to him saw Zeng Yuanshu waved his hand and immediately asked the driver to move, and more than a dozen carriages were driven over.

It’s good for someone to be here. Not only are some people arranged accommodation in advance, but the transportation is ready.

Two or three scholars squeezed a car, and the people put their luggage behind the carriage, and then a few people squeezed a carriage and followed. The carriage and horses rushed out of the dock and headed towards Nanchang City.

When Wei Guangde approached the city gate, he opened the curtain and saw the towering city walls and the dark city gate hole in Nanchang City. Wei Guangde felt a little moved.

Back then, I came here to participate in the provincial examination with high fighting spirit, but I left in shame. What about this year?
