Chapter 79 News From the Front Line

After returning to Bengshanbao, although he was already a student, Wei Guangde's life did not change much.

Because he was not a student yet, he could not enter the county school, and he still studied in Sun Fuzi's private school.

However, Wei Guangde at this time was also a celebrity in the private school.

It was because the three senior brothers who took the prefectural exam together failed, and he, as the youngest candidate in this prefectural exam, was lucky to pass the prefectural exam.

In fact, not only his classmates who had been around for many years thought so, but Wei Guangde himself also looked at the results of this exam in this way.

Fortunately, Wei Guangde still felt that this was not just caused by good luck. Perhaps, everything was already destined in the dark.

Yes, after knowing that he had passed the prefectural exam in Jiujiang Prefecture, Wei Guangde tossed and turned for many nights and could not sleep peacefully.

Can't sleep, can't sleep at all.

He has the aura of the protagonist and is the son of heaven. This is the result of thinking for so many nights.

He knew very well that his arrival was destined to be extremely smooth.

After thinking of this, Wei Guangde no longer wanted to work hard.

He believed that he would be smooth sailing in the next college and provincial examinations, and even the joint and palace examinations. Otherwise, how could he show the aura of the protagonist and reduce the intelligence of the people around him?

However, just because he thought so, it did not mean that Master Sun thought so.

"Guangde, you can get to this point, not only because of your own talent, but also because of your hard work.

You are only one step away from fame, you should work harder and strive to go further in the college examination."

In the few days after Wei Guangde came back, Master Sun keenly discovered that Wei Guangde did not seem to settle down to study these days, which was not good.

The two students he favored in the past two years have passed the college examination and become scholars. One is now studying in the prefectural school and the other is studying in the county school, both preparing to participate in the provincial examination next year.

Among the students in the private school, only Wei Guangde has a chance to go further. Master Sun will not relax his management of him. He is only one step away. Another student can pass the exam this year, which will naturally have a great impact on his private school.

He taught two scholars in the past two years, which directly increased a large number of students in his private school that year.

Don't think that teachers choose students in ancient times. In fact, students also choose teachers.

Excellent private school teachers are models that all parties compete to worship.

Although Master Sun will not move away from Madang Town and go to the county or the prefecture, he still hopes that he can recruit students from farther places who come here for fame.

Think about the famous academies in Jiangxi, which not only attract outstanding students from all over the province, but also students from other provinces come here for exchanges.

Well, he is a private school, not an academy, but Master Sun also has ideals.

Wei Guangde just relaxed for two days and was caught by Master Sun.

In this era, no student dared to challenge the teacher. Moral issues were very serious.

After accepting Master Sun's teachings with his head down, Wei Guangde walked out of the private school and went home.

Yes, he was left behind by the master to be educated alone.

More than half a month passed in a flash, and the news of his father finally came back. The Jiujiang Guard team landed smoothly in Shaoxing Prefecture with the army. When they landed, they were discovered and contacted by the soldiers of the Shaoxing Guard.

After knowing that many coastal counties in Ningbo Prefecture were attacked by Japanese pirates, resulting in a large number of population and property losses, the army did not proceed as originally discussed in secret, but directly marched into Ningbo Prefecture to suppress the Japanese pirates.

Landing was already a violation of military orders. Ningbo happened to be in trouble with Japanese pirates, so they immediately went there to suppress them. At least they could use the excuse of suppressing the Japanese pirates to explain that they did not follow the order to go directly to Taizhou for rescue.

When the reinforcement army approached Dingyuan County, the rampant Japanese pirates decisively ran away. Wu Zhankui and Wei Laodi's troops were the first to chase the Japanese pirates to the seaside, and even watched the Japanese pirates board the ship and escape.

Although the results were average, the spoils were indeed rich, which was probably the main reason why they were willing to pursue the Japanese pirates.

The news and letters were brought back by Wu Zhankui's personal soldiers and servants, so the credibility was naturally very high because he was with Wu Zhankui at the time.

After receiving the news, Wu Dong immediately sent someone to pass it to Bengshanbao, so Wei Wencai and Wei Guangde drove a carriage overnight to send my mother to Pengze County to understand the situation.

"What do you think of what the letter says?"

Wu Dong said to the two brothers Wei Wencai and Wei Guangde. They had just read the secret letter and knew the cause and effect.

"What else can we do? Just do as the letter says.

I will go back to Bengshanbao tomorrow and pick 20 remaining soldiers. Cousin, you should also pick the men. When the people from Jiujiang Prefecture arrive, we will set off immediately.

My uncle and his friends are right. We can only feel at ease if we bring the things back. Leaving them in the camp will always be a hidden danger."

"Okay, you will have to worry more about this trip. My second uncle is good at talking in business, but he is really not good at marching and fighting."

Wu Dong nodded and said to Wei Guangde: "Guangde, how are you preparing for the July college entrance examination?"

For this question, Wei Guangde naturally would not say that he was a little lazy recently, but smiled and said: "The three lights are on and the five roosters are roosters, it is the time for men to study."

Okay, he was bragging.

But at this time, Wei Wencai naturally would not open his mouth to expose his brother's lies. In Wei Wencai's opinion, Wei Guangde was still very hardworking in reading and studying.

"That's good. If the news that you passed the prefectural examination spreads to the front, my father and uncle will definitely be very happy."

Wu Dong naturally did not doubt him. Just kidding, Wei Guangde has already passed the examination.

He is an experienced person and knows very well how difficult it is to pass the examination. It is impossible to pass the examination so smoothly by cheating.

"Can you get a boat over there?"

Wei Wencai was thinking about what was said in the letter, asking them to bring at least twelve boats to transport supplies.

There are only about twenty boats at the dock of Jiujiang Guard now. If so many boats are taken away at once, nothing will be leaked.

"My uncle will find a way."

Wu Dong also answered with a serious face.

To be honest, he was not sure whether he could get a boat.

"If they can't get enough, I think they will rent a merchant ship. Jiujiang Prefecture is not short of merchant ships."

Wei Guangde didn't care at all that his father and his men got a lot of spoils in Ningbo Prefecture this time and needed to transfer ships to transport them.

My uncle and his men were able to rob the pirates of their wealth, so other garrisons should have also gained something.

Now the ships that Jiujiang Garrison had sent over there are all at the dock and dare not move. They are being watched by the Ministry of War. If they go by land, the journey is too long, so they can only take the risk of transporting them back by water.

"Ningbo Prefecture is really rich. No wonder the pirates gathered so many people to go ashore to rob. They haven't moved all the goods after so many days."

Wu Dong thought of the wealth mentioned in the letter and couldn't help but sigh.
