Chapter 3 The First Order

Before Hu Zongxian could speak, the guards around Hu Zongxian were dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "You can call your name, sir."

The knight came and said, "Sorry, I will make a mistake. Since Lord Hu is present, please accept the order."

Hu Zongxian waved his hand and stopped the words of the people around him, but said, "Is it you----"

Hu Zongxian knew at a glance that these several knights were not among the armies in Jiangnan. There are many reasons, the first is the mount.

War horses were scarce resources for the Ming Dynasty. This was even more true for the Ming army in Jiangnan. Now, among the various divisions of the Ming Dynasty, there is only one place that is not scarce resources, that is, the newly built Heshuo Province. Looking at the knights, their armors were distinctive and their temperaments were all in every move, you can tell that they were elite soldiers. They seemed dull, but in fact they were murderous.

In addition to some of the news Hu Zongxian received, he had already speculated.

The knight then thought of something and said, "After the order of the Heshuo cavalry, Qianhu Magui, came to the order of the Governor General, and ordered Lord Hu to stop all actions on the front line. He left the veteran General Yu Dayou to stay. The other adults must arrive in Suzhou within five days. The master summoned you in Suzhou, which was outdated and was engaged in military law."

There was no war in Heshuo for a long time. Ma Gui's father, Ma Lu thought about giving his son a good future. Both Ma Lu's sons were good. But Ma Lu knew one thing, that is, when the two children had a lower official position, they were nothing in one place. But as the official position became higher and higher, they would affect each other. One day, we can't let Ma Jin be the general officer and Ma Lu be the deputy general? Even if the imperial court was kicked by a donkey in the head, it would not do such a thing.

If you want your son to have a future, you will have a son leaving Heshuo and going to other places.

So Ma Lu used his relationship and even suppressed Ma Gui's official position, allowing him to follow Zhou Mengchen to go to Jiangnan. He also hoped to make some military achievements with Zhou Mengchen and gain a foothold in the outer town. He had good development in the future.

Zhou Mengchen sent Ma Gui to pass the order, so naturally it would not be just a command. Ma Gui also had another task, which was to investigate military information, not only the military information of the Japanese pirates, but also to see how powerful the various armies in Jiangnan were.

Ma Gui didn't actually arrive today. He arrived yesterday. He secretly touched the bottom of various officials and suddenly felt extremely disappointed with the Jiangnan official army. He felt that just now, he was not as good as the Datong militia.

Ma Gui was young and energetic, and his respect for people depends on his ability. He felt that Hu Zongxian led a group of mobs, and if he was on the open battlefield, he could defeat Hu Zongxian's troops with a charge.

Naturally, I am much more polite to Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian felt a little cold after hearing Ma Gui's words.

He knew that Zhou Mengchen was coming, but he never expected that it would come so quickly and so urgently. Calculate the time, it took less than twenty days for Zhou Mengchen to set off from Beijing to the agreed time, and with this era, the transportation was so fast.

What was even more rapid was the Heshuo Cavalry. It arrived so quickly.

In Hu Zongxian's opinion, it was unreasonable, but he didn't know that these people followed the newly opened Yellow River transportation line and took a boat to Henan, then went straight to Xiangyang, and took a boat from Xiangyang to Suzhou.

Although it is inconvenient for horses to be on the boat, and it is very troublesome to get on and off the boat. However, no matter whether the Yellow River or the Yangtze River is flowing downstream, you should know that the speed of going downstream for thousands of miles is too fast for thousands of miles. So they have one day to rest when they arrive in Jiangnan.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen spent a lot of contact with this. The ship on the Yellow River was handled by Shanxi merchants. The ship on the Yangtze River was handled by Wang Zongyuan. After all, Zhou Mengchen was from Huguang. Although Zhou Mengchen had not returned home for many years, the people in his hometown were still willing to contribute to Zhou Mengchen.

That's why it's so fast.

Isn’t the reason why Hu Zongxian was so urgent that he even ignored Wang Cuiqiao’s life just to win a victory before Zhou Mengchen came?

And now everything is too late.

Hu Zongxian had a premonition that the fight between Zhao Wenhua and Zhou Mengchen had just begun, and Zhao Wenhua was at a disadvantage.

"Zhou Changting is not an easy person to deal with." Hu Zongxian's thoughts flew away, and he was slowing down for a moment.

Ma Gui said again: "Please accept the order by Lord Hu."

"Bold, you are talking to Shangguan like this." Yu Dayou couldn't stand it anymore. In his opinion, Ma Gui was simply an arrogant and domineering noble man, and there were many such people in Jiangnan. Yu Dayou hated him deeply.

When Ma Gui saw Yu Dayou, his eyes lit up and he said, "You are General Yu, right?"

Yu Dayou was slightly stunned and said, "That's right."

Ma Gui looked up and down and said, "My master said that the old general is the number one master in Jiangnan, and may even be the number one master in the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that he is in official business today, and if he has time in the future, he will definitely compete with the old general."

Yu Dayou said, "Who is your master?"

Ma Gui said: "Of course, Lord Zhou."

Yu Dayou was a little excited and thought uneasy: "Mr. Zhou still knows my name." In history, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were naturally the first-class general. However, this time and space cannot be compared with Zhou Mengchen.

Compared with Zhou Mengchen, the recognized number one general in the world, Yu Dayou has been in the past half of his life, which is not very good.

Zhou Mengchen's praise of Yu Dayou is also true. Although Qi Jiguang's personal combat effectiveness is good, it is much worse than Yu Dayou. You should know that most of Qi Jiguang's personal attack skills in his military books or improve them.

Shaolin martial arts are famous, but to put it in depth, Shaolin martial arts are actually Yu Dayou's martial arts. Yu Dayou passed by Shaolin Temple and heard about the reputation of Shaolin Temple's martial arts. He came to ask for advice. Then he felt that Shaolin martial arts had been lost too much.

Shaolin Temple sent two monks to follow Yu Dayou for more than ten years, and then returned to Shaolin Temple, which regained the reputation of Shaolin Temple. Shaolin stick art, Taizu Changquan, and other martial arts titles were all developed and developed through Yu Dayou's hands and borrowed by later novelists.

Therefore, if there was really a number one master in the world at that time, Yu Dayou would not count. The only thing I was worried about was that Yu Dayou was a little older and his physical strength might have decreased a bit. After all, the real society is not a martial arts novel, and there is no way that the older the martial arts, the stronger the martial arts are. Fist is afraid of getting stronger, which is real.

"Okay. I'll accept the order." Hu Zongxian said calmly. He didn't know if Ma Gui was here to disagree with him and Yu Dayou, but Yu Dayou's performance made Hu Zongxian very uncomfortable and didn't want to say anything more. He sent Ma Gui away in a few words.

If Ma Gui knew that Hu Zongxian thought so, he would definitely be wronged. He was good at fighting, but he was young and did not have such deep scheming. Just hearing Zhou Mengchen's praise of Yu Dayou, he would naturally be polite. After all, he could trust Zhou Mengchen's judgment.

Even if Zhou Mengchen's judgment was wrong, in Ma Gui's opinion, Yu Dayou was not good at it and disappointed Zhou Mengchen's high expectations.

After Hu Zongxian handled the matter here, he asked Yu Dayou to lead all the troops to prevent the Japanese pirates from attacking and rushed to Suzhou immediately. He wanted to go to Suzhou in advance to discuss with Zhao Wenhua to better deal with the things in front of him.

In just two days, Hu Zongxian entered Suzhou City by water. It was already night. Suzhou is a city that cannot be restricted by the city wall. The area of ​​the city is several times the area of ​​the city. The place where Hu Zongxian went, to be precise, was a large mansion outside Suzhou City. However, it was exactly the same as outside Suzhou City.

I immediately stopped at the entrance of a large mansion in Suzhou City and immediately asked me to call the door.

This is not another place, it is where Zhao Wenhua settles.

Zhao Wenhua's life in Jiangnan was very luxurious. He made a lot of money, but naturally he refused to let himself down in life. The yard was originally a big family in Jiangnan, but after Zhao Wenhua made some moves, he let others give it up honestly, and even didn't even take any money.

From then on, this mansion belongs to Zhao Wenhua.

Hu Zongxian is a regular visitor here. The concierge opened immediately and asked Hu Zongxian to come in. After Hu Zongxian came in, he asked: "I have already given instructions in the study. After you come, you can go directly to the study."
