Hong Chuanting still knew Song Chengxuan somewhat.
"The Japanese invaded Quanzhou five years ago. You all know that the emperor ordered me to go to Quanzhou to supervise the war. That's when I met this boy from the Song family. He was only fourteen years old that year."
Marquis Anyi naturally knew about this battle, but Hong Chuanting never mentioned the inside story, let alone that Hong Chuanting met Song Chengxuan at that time.
After so many years, Hong Chuanting still remembers that battle clearly: "At that time, we had already used all our forces and lost two counties along the coast to hold back the Japanese pirates. Unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates and pirates had long colluded, and more than a dozen warships increased their troops. Come, if these people are allowed to go ashore, we will be attacked by the enemy. The most urgent thing is to hold back the Japanese pirate reinforcements, wait until our soldiers and horses kill all the Japanese pirates who have landed, and then turn back to deal with the Japanese reinforcements. Only then can we win the battle.
It's a pity that the Fujian General Army was passive and idle at that time, and the soldiers and horses in our hands could not stop the warships of the Japanese pirates at sea. "
Anyihou nodded: "So you can only persuade the local people to fight against the enemy together."
Hong Chuanting said: "That's right, but the navy has lost a lot, and many ships can't even go to sea. It's so difficult to stop the Japanese pirates' big ships at sea. I also think there is no chance of winning this battle. Fortunately, there was no sea ban at that time. , There are also merchants who can trade across the sea. These merchants have some merchant ships in their hands. I have to ask the merchants for help, hoping to borrow ships and people to meet the enemy.
When I was at a loss, the merchant recommended to me a person who knew the topography of the nearby sea area best. With his help, maybe the Japanese pirates could be held back for a day and a half. "
At that time, his eyes brightened and he thought he saw hope, but when the merchant brought the person in front of him, an unbelievable expression appeared on his face: "How could I have imagined that the person the merchant mentioned was actually a young man? At that time, I was very discouraged, thinking that the merchants were deceiving me.
I later found out that this young man usually travels with merchant fleets. He and a few of his men specialize in dealing with pirates, and they are very familiar with large pirate ships. After hearing these words, I was still puzzled, but I had no choice Please help that boy. "
Guangping Hou said: "The boy you are talking about is Song Chengxuan."
Hong Chuanting nodded and continued: "Song Chengxuan is also willing to take people there. I thought he was too young to bear it at the time, so I asked him to think clearly. This trip is a near-death situation. He also knows that I don't trust him, so he proposed that he only need some people. , as the forward of this battle, block the front of the Dazhou fleet, so that even if he fails to block, I can still order the follow-up staff to take over. This choice has almost no loss for me.
Although Song Chengxuan was still young, he had a clear mind and convinced me with a few words. I promised him that as long as he can come back, I will definitely recommend him to join the military camp in the future. In time, he will be able to get a good reputation, but I didn't expectbut he refused. "
The Marquis of Guangping was a little surprised: "Could it be that he had the heart to serve the country at that time, and didn't need anything."
Hong Chuanting shook his head and said: "He asked for money, and I will give silver as a thank you after the matter is completed, probably the Song family needed these at that time!
I am naturally happy, the things that can be solved with money are the simplest things, but I know in my heart that Song Chengxuan will probably never come back, but as long as I can survive, I will definitely fulfill my promise and hand over the money. To the Song family.
Everything is really as I expected, the Japanese pirates are coming menacingly
That battle was very difficult, but Song Chengxuan also delayed the reinforcements of the Japanese pirates for a day, and I fought fiercely with those reinforcements for a whole day with the only manpower I had.
With these two days, our Dazhou army finally wiped out the Japanese pirates on the shore, turned around and came back to help, and only then did we win the final battle. "
Hong Chuanting heaved a sigh of relief after saying this.
Guangping Hou said: "It seems that Song Chengxuan is indeed a rare talent."
"It's just a matter of saying victory or defeat now," An Yihou frowned. "At that time, it was a matter of life and death for you. Facing those Japanese pirates, Song Chengxuan brought all the manpower, right?"
Hong Chuanting nodded, he took a sip of tea before continuing: "The boat he brought sank a lot, and no one was found. After this battle, I took people to look for that kid for many days. I also thought that kid I can't escape this catastrophe, and I feel sad in my heart, but that kid was supported by someone and came to me to ask for money.
It turned out that they met the frogmen of the Japanese pirates that day, and they were entangled in the sea for a long time. Although Song Chengxuan killed the frogmen at the last moment, he was almost swallowed by the sea water, and he struggled to survive. He was injured and lost blood. In addition, he choked on the sea water, passed out after going ashore, and had to recuperate for a few days??get up.
Seeing that he was still having a fever, I asked the medical staff to treat him. During the treatment, I also saw the scars all over his body.
From the scars, it can be seen that his life must have been hanging by a thread many times in these years. I remember clearly that there was a scar on his left chest. An ordinary person would definitely die, and I don¡¯t know how he survived. down.
I inquired and found out that he is the only one left in the Song family. He has been in charge of the Song family since he was seven years old, and he has a small caravan under him. It is so easy for a seven-year-old child to make a living in Quanzhou. He said he was in charge of the caravan. , who is willing to do business with a child, when pirates were rampant, he proposed to go to sea with the merchants, as long as there are pirates, they will stay and fight with the pirates.
To drive away the pirates, he didn't ask for money in return, as long as the merchants were willing to trade some goods with him, his family fortune was accumulated bit by bit in this way.
Without the protection of the elders, it is really not easy for a child to come to this day.
I am thirsty for talents and want him to come back to Beijing with me. I will help him arrange his official career, but he refuses to say anything. I can only write to him every year, trying to persuade him to become an official, but he has his own My idea is that I didn't become an official with military merit until the year before last, but now that I have taken the Quanzhou recruitment envoy, I am finally on the right track, so I can feel at ease. "
When he said these words, Hong Chuanting felt that he was an old father who missed his children: "Song Chengxuan's temperament is a bit cold, and he struggled between life and death since he was a child. Please bear with me!"
Hong Chuanting's heart of protection is beyond words.
Hou Sunran of Guangping: "I think I have the heart to serve the country, but in the end I didn't protect it at the end of the year. I have been guarding the Northwest for these years. When it is most critical, I need others to help me watch the battle. What Song Chengxuan just said is also a point. Wake me up, I shouldn't be so confused."
Anyihou also sighed and thought: "I never thought about it, he has such an experience." Song Chengxuan's face appeared in his mind just now, and for some reason he always felt that there was something familiar between Song Chengxuan's eyebrows.
"Okay, let's not talk about this," Hong Chuanting said, "Let's discuss the war in the northwest first."
Song Chengxuan returned from the yamen to the yard.
Zhenren Zhang is instructing people to prepare their luggage. According to their previous arrangements, they will leave for the southeast after the official department has completed the paperwork. There are still many things in Quanzhou waiting for the young master to deal with.
Song Chengxuan went to sit down in the study, Zhang Zhenren brought a cup of tea and said: "Young master met Anyihou."
Song Chengxuan nodded.
Zhenren Zhang didn't say anything more.
Song Chengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, the person he had kept in his heart since he was a child was standing in front of him just now.
He really wanted to settle the grievances of the year with Anyihou.
But for some reason, Xu Qinghuan's face floated in front of his eyes.
Knowing that the people in the Marquis of Anyi's mansion were not trustworthy, he met her again and again, and even joined forces with her to investigate the case.
He even revealed his identity to her that night.
What does he want? Could it be a decision? As long as Anyihou Mansion deals with him again, he will do it mercilessly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
