Chapter 145: Problems from Qi's Army
Qi Family Army!
Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and Wang Fulin was also very surprised.¢£ He thought that he might have to see the legendary Jinyiwei today, but he didn't expect that the legendary Qi family army would come. And seeing Wang Daoguan's smiling face, he was obviously an acquaintance! However, he thought about it carefully. Wang Daokun has just started to be the governor of Yunyang. He has been living in Songmingshan before, without commenting on the government affairs, and has never handed over the heroes. He should have nothing to do with Jinyiwei. On the contrary, Wang Daokun used to fight against the Japanese side by side with Qi Jiguang in Fujian, and his friendship is said to be good. Now Qi Jiguang, the general of Ji Town, sent someone over, makes sense.
When he followed Wang Daoguan over there, he could not take a side glance at Xiaobei who was beside him, but he did not blame the little girl for being scared. Instead, he felt that this sudden appearance was a stroke of genius. After all, if he had taken a step earlier, he would have missed the Qi family army mentioned by Wang Daoguan. As for the origin of this misunderstanding, it is not difficult to understand. Although the Xiuchun Dao is the official standard for the officers of the Jinyi Guard, it is not impossible to give it to the generals or those who have made meritorious contributions. After all, thinking about the shocking Japanese riots in the southeast during the Jiajing period back then, Qi Jiguang made great achievements. What is the point of rewarding his generals with several Xiuchun Dao?
The second master Wang Daoguan suddenly appeared at the gate of the Wang family, which was crowded with people, which immediately caused a big commotion, and even greater commotion was still behind. He smiled and walked towards the men who were many people, had fierce faces, and occupied the shade of a big tree. Then he smiled and bowed to the leader with a smile, which was clearly an old acquaintance. Faced with this scene, he saw those men hurriedly and politely. I don’t know how many people almost didn’t stare out their eyes.
"Shuangmu. Come here quickly." Wang Daoguan waved to Wang Fulin. Then he pointed to the middle-aged man with a square face, a thick figure, a scar penetrated half of his face from top to bottom, and one eye seemed to be blind. He smiled and said, "This is Qi Liang, the brave general next to Marshal Qi. Although he looked like a simple and honest man at this moment, he was as quick as thunder when he started to fight. The eldest brother often said that Marshal Qi can be the best in the world in training troops, but his generals under his command were as quiet as virgins and moving as if they were rid of rabbits. If they were put outside, others would definitely not recognize Mount Tai, not show the mountains or show the mountains or show the water, and they were also the best in the world."
When I heard the word "Master Qi" by Marshal Qi, who else around me knew that this was the subordinate of Qi Jiguang, the general of Ji Town. Someone was planning to compete for a good seat under the shade of the tree. Now I can't help but be glad that I didn't have any disagreement. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what the outcome is now. Even though I value literature and over military affairs, Qi Jiguang is not an ordinary general. Not to mention that his calligraphy is extremely outstanding, he can also recite poems and essays and reconcile literati. Therefore, many famous scholars like Wang Daokun have a good impression of him. Many ordinary scholars also have a good impression of this Master Qi.
Seeing that Qi Liang was a little embarrassed to Wang Daoguan's praise, Wang Fulin said thanks unceasingly, and the others hurriedly saluted. Except for some people who looked fierce, but their behavior did not have the aura of a savage soldier, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. You know, the military discipline of the Qi family army is of course quite strict in the rumors, but if they fight too much, they can still maintain their pure nature. This is not easy. Thinking of this, he had seen it one by one according to Wang Daoguan's words. Before he could say anything, he suddenly found that the eyes of the dozen people in front of him seemed to be looking behind him, and there were still people who were winking each other, and even smiles could be seen in his eyes.
OK, Xiaobei, a girl who disguises herself as a man, can fool ordinary people, but I’m afraid she won’t fool people with a scheming eye!
Wang Daoguan also noticed this scene, but he laughed and said, "Shuangmu is the rising star of my Songming Mountain Wang family. My eldest brother admires him very much. Ye County Zun of She County also loves him very much. Don't be a little scholar. He has done something to do directly to Huanglong before... Oh, I forgot, I shouldn't have spoken in front of the door. Come on, come with me. If the eldest brother knew that Marshal Qi sent someone over here, he would be very happy!"
Seeing that Wang Daoguan was dragging Qi Liang, who was in the leader, greeted the others in, and did not let the military men's doubts continue. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to call Xiaobei into the company, he suddenly heard a cry from somewhere: "Shuangmu, Shuangmu!"
He looked around and saw someone rushing over from the crowd around him, and finally appeared at the forefront with panting. It turned out to be Cheng Naixuan, his face suddenly turned dark: "Let you keep it well at home, what are you doing?"
Cheng Naixuan held his knees with his hands, and after a while, he straightened his waist, but he looked around, and then said guiltily, "Didn't you hear you have returned to Songming Mountain again? Your old servant looked at me like a prisoner. Besides, I'm not a woman. I didn't eat or drink before, and it's better to keep it for two days. How could it be that serious?" He said, glanced at Xiaobei while looking at Xiaobei, but soon he smiled at Wang Fulin, "I happened to be here to see if I could meet you. I didn't expect to run into the Qi army, Shuangmu. For the sake of our interaction, take me in and take a look?"
Knowing that if he doesn't agree at this moment, this guy will even pester his mouth, so Wang Fulin had no choice but to agree.
As for Xiaobei, who was upset in his heart, he had no intention of paying attention to Mr. Cheng who suddenly appeared. He was still in a daze until he entered the Wang family. So, I don’t know how long it took, but when Wang Fulin called his uncle again, she raised her head alertly and found that Wang Daoguan had returned when he didn’t know when she had come back. When she caught a glimpse of Cheng Naixuan, her face was a little subtle.
"I'm just seeing my elder brother, I'm having some time to have free time." Mr. Wang stretched and then said with a smile, "Do you think these Qi family soldiers are a little tough, but they seem to be a little honest?"
Wang Fulin nodded unconsciously, and even Cheng Naixuan, who had sneaked into the Wang family, quickly pecked at the rice and expressed his confusion. Xiaobei hesitated for a moment before whispering: "I heard that all the soldiers are fierce, but they are polite."
"They were all peasants at first, but after being a personal soldier with Dashui Qi for so long, they all killed people. The military discipline was very strict. The reason why Qi Liang called this name was because he was picked up by Dashui Qi from the pile of dead people, so he followed the surname of Dashui Qi. As long as he didn't provoke him, he had a good temper. Others should have the same temperament. They would not cause trouble when they came out to do business, and naturally they would not be impeached by civil servants."
Speaking of this, Wang Daoguan suddenly felt a little bitter. I remember that his brother was impeached and dismissed from office because he was impeached and corrupt military spending, and his arrogant soldiers and generals were rampant. But being in office was one thing, and coming out was another. Qi Jiguang was good at learning lessons.
Only then did Wang Fulin understand why these generals and soldiers felt that they were "simple" and they were all sifted out of the sieve!
Wang Daoguan did not forget to joke, "However, I had told them on the road just now that because I was wearing the Xiuchun Sword, there was a sharp-eyed little girl who almost thought they were Jinyiwei. Qi Liang was so honest that he was amused. However, he really had the title of Jinyiwei's hundred households, but this Jinyiwei was not the same Jinyiwei, but he was just a reward for military merits and was not hereditary. As for the others, they were all Qi's swords, not Xichun Swords."
Although Xiaobei has gained great knowledge, Wang Fulin is the same. He is not an expert in Ming History. All the things he has learned over the past few days are novel experiences for him. At this time, Mr. Cheng did not treat himself as an outsider at all, and asked diligently: "Why would you ask uncle, is that Qi Baihu here to give gifts to Mr. Nanming?"
Wang Daoguan did not meet Cheng Naixuan alone, but he did not act as an outsider for the people who could be brought in by Wang Fulin. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Qi Liang had just smiled honestly and perfunctorily along the way, and he suddenly felt that this guy who always thought he was an honest man in the Qi family army was probably just pretending. Moreover, since Qi Liang was here, why didn’t he say that he came from Ji Town, but had to wait like this under the shade of the tree at the gate?
This kind of experience is undoubtedly not pleasant, so he coughed dryly and said, "Brother and Marshal Qi have been with each other for many years. This trip may be just a letter on the way. By the way, since Shuangmu, you have sent a message and said that you will go back tomorrow, you will wait for Brother and us to set off tomorrow before leaving."
"Of course it's the best. I have always admired the Qi family army for a long time..." Cheng Naixuan rushed to Wang Fulin again. In order to try to stay overnight, he immediately turned his back and began to slap Wang Daoguan.
Wang Fulin was too lazy to care about this boy. While the two of them were talking, he whispered to Xiaobei: "If you want to go back, I will ask my uncle to escort you a few people later."
"It's you who said you stay, it's you who said you leave." Xiaobei answered in a muffled voice, but thought that the Qi family army came, not the Jinyiwei, she lost her previous nervousness and horror, but she regained her true nature. "Since I came, I'll be at ease. When I was wandering outside, the Japanese pirates were still raging, and I didn't dare to go to some places. I didn't expect that I could see the Qi family army by chance today. You would have some luck following Wang Xiaoren!"
While he was talking, Wang Fulin suddenly saw someone coming not far away. When he got closer, he skipped over the second master Wang Daoguan, but went straight to him and bowed respectfully: "Little official, the master is welcome."
When I met the Qi family army, I suddenly wanted to see me?
Wang Fulin was immediately confused. It was obvious that Wang Daoguan signaled him to go immediately, so he could only follow him. When he arrived at Wang Daokun's familiar thatched house, he saw Qi Liang sitting upright on a stool, with his waist straight, just like a bell.
"Shuangmu, you have just met Qi Baihu." When Wang Daokun heard Wang Fulin say his uncle, he nodded slightly to him, and then said carefully, "Qi Baihu and others had been through many battles and were covered in wounds. They were no longer suitable to continue to guard the border, so General Qi wrote to the court and gave some compensation to withdraw from the army. They were all those who joined the army after the Japanese pirates rampant. Qi Baihu was originally from Huizhou, but his father moved to Zhejiang. With the Japanese pirates, there was no one at home. After fighting against the Japanese, he followed General Qi to Jimen. Now he retreated from the army and planned to return to his roots. Several disabled subordinates followed him."
Wang Fulin remembered that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed a military household system, but Qi Jiguang relied on recruiting peasants to fight against the Japanese. It was normal for some personal soldiers from the south to be around him. In addition, since he was injured and withdrew from the army, this was not very out of line. But there are many good places in the world. It is popular these days, but since there is no one in my hometown, why did this Qi Baihu have to live in Huizhou Prefecture with a group of disabled old soldiers? Even if it was just a temporary residence instead of a registered residence, it was very abnormal. There are some good places in Southern Zhili and even Zhejiang, not to mention that the Qi family army has a higher prestige there!
Seeing that Wang Fulin didn't say anything, Wang Daokun continued, "They have been following Marshal Qi for a long time and have some savings. Marshal Qi originally asked me to think about what suitable industries are for them. I have no idea for a moment. Please help me to take a closer look."
What does this mean? These military generals also have to buy private property in Huizhou Prefecture? Why does it sound like Qi Jiguang wants to leave a way out and plan to buy private property in Huizhou Prefecture?
If this is true, that would be a big deal!
Wang Fulin immediately resisted a little. He had to face the mess after the Xia Tax. Now this is such a big thing. If there is no clear statement, he doesn't want to get involved casually!
