"The Ding family and several missing families went to the yamen of the thousand households to complain?"

Min Qiande was dressed in a round-necked red robe with short wings and black yarn, and he looked quite official.

Since the reward for his military exploits, Min Qiande has been directly promoted from a thousand households to command, and from a fifth-rank military attache to a fourth-rank military attaché.

In fact, it is the blue robe for the red robe, and the actual power is still only here in the Cloud Ladder Pass.

Because they were not given real positions, there were nearly ten real commanders in Dahewei, with palm prints, management exercises, treasury management, and transportation troops, and Dahewei and Huai'anwei added up to eighteen commanders, known as eighteen mothers-in-law.

There are so many commanders with real power, and even more with the rank of commander.

Min Qiande is a commander with a higher rank, and he has no substantive position, he can still serve in the Yunti Pass.

The difference is that a blue robe has been replaced by a red robe, which can be regarded as a leap.

A while ago, Min Qiande took the lead, followed by Min Yuanqi, who had a higher official position, and then at least a dozen or so children of the Min family with 100 official positions opened an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

On that day, Min Qiande can be said to be in tears, and the command inheritance of the Min family was not only not lost, but also carried forward in his hands.

Although the credit belongs to Min Yuanqi, before and after Min Yuanqi started his family, it was impossible to develop so quickly without the power of the family.

To put it simply, if Min Yuanqi is just an ordinary flag army, he may still be boiling salt on the seaside, and he wants to quickly dig a salt pond, make friends with wealthy businessmen, and achieve a military training career, how can it be possible without the power of the Min family?

Min Yuanqi himself knows that if his identity is a banner army, he may still be working hard to accumulate praise, and he will not be able to reach this level in three or five years.

But can the Qing army give him three or five years to develop on this seaside?

That's a fool's dream.

Since it is successful with the help of the family, there is no need to be external to the family, and when worshipping the ancestors, it is also sincere and respectful.

After worshipping his ancestors, Min Qiande deliberately asked Min Yuanqi to live in the old mansion in the city of thousands of households, and he and his family moved out and returned the old mansion to Min Yuanqi.

Min Yuanqi refused without hesitation.

If Min Yuanqi is willing now, it is not impossible to set up a prince's mansion in his teens and twenties, and the old mansion was an obsession back then, but now it doesn't matter at all.

As a commander, Min Qiande is the head of the Min family, and he lives in the city, and he has some old connections in Nanjing and Huai'an, which are used to take charge of the Foreign Affairs Department, run relationships for Min Yuanqi, and get acquainted with people, which can be regarded as being able to exert residual heat.

Of course, it is impossible for Min Qiande to ignore everything, in addition to Ding Ruqi in Yuntiguan these days, there are also a few people who have disappeared inexplicably, most of them are people who spread the words of defeat, these people have disappeared one after another, and most of the people in the city of Qianhu also know the end, Min Qiande ignored it before, just to see how Li Kecheng dealt with it.

"Li Kecheng is also interesting." Min Yuan stood straight like a javelin, even Min Qiande felt a little sharp when he looked at his son at this time.

Min Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Li Kecheng first ignored it, and then the people who were waiting for the complaint gathered more, and suddenly turned his face. There are more than a dozen Neiding in the Li family, and Li Kecheng summoned Neiding and beat these people hard. Then he was sent to the top of the city of a thousand households to serve hard labor. And there are those who speak first, and those who report grievances and dissatisfaction are directly killed. Now the magistrate of Qianhusuo is taking people to watch at the city, and Qianhusuo City has also arranged manpower, dissatisfied with Yuan Qige, complaining, saying that we can't win, these dare to say it to shake the morale of the army, and it is directly arrested. ”

"Very good." Min Qiande smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Li Kecheng won't have any unusual thoughts." ”

"It's also thanks to him for working so hard." Min Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Otherwise, with the grievances between him and our Min family over the years, the grievances between the Li family and the Min family for a hundred years, he has to take his life and dig up the roots of the Li family!" ”

"It doesn't have to be this way." Min Qiande sighed: "Now the imperial court only goes to Xuzhou in the north, Shandong has no longer paid attention, Henan, Zhili, Jingshi, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, the nine important towns are gone, Jingshi has fallen, and the emperor has been martyred." At this point, in the end, it is more trustworthy for each other to be the identity of the Wei family. In the future, sooner or later, we will have to confront the rogues, and when the time comes, the war will be chaotic, and I don't know what will happen? It's nothing to be proud for a while, and it's too difficult to keep the inheritance of my Min family for more than 200 years. ”

"The father means, the son understands." Min Yuan said in a deep voice: "Now the imperial court is forcibly supported by bandits like Liu Zeqing with soldiers and horses, what kind of system is this." Huguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangzhou, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and now these places are barely obedient to the imperial court. However, it is now July, more than two months after the founding of the country, and I have heard that many local officials have not yet obeyed Nanjing's order, sorted out the local financial endowments, and determined the matter of taxation. Father was thinking, now there is a fierce general like Liu Zeqing who ignores the laws of the imperial court, and it is not enough to send troops to collect food on the fishing and meat land, but it is an important town, and it is always necessary to raise soldiers to protect the territory and the people. But for the sake of the seaside salt pond, he didn't even make an excuse and directly sent troops to our Yunti Pass, the country has reached such a point, is it that the Ming Dynasty is not saved? ”

"It's comforting that you can think so much." Min Qiande nodded and said, "I haven't talked to Yuan Qi, so I don't know what he thinks?" ”

Min Yuan said straightly: "My father is also a contradiction, right?" I want to keep my Min family's wealth and wealth, and I want to think about the kindness and righteousness of the Min family and the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years? ”

"That's right." Min Qiande said calmly: "It is said that the world is in chaos, and the heroes are competing for each other. I don't think that Li Chuang is a person who can open up a new dynasty even if he wins the Beijing Division, these fierce generals in front of him, Huama Liu, Caozhou Liu, Huang Chuangzi, as well as Gao Jie, Zuo Liangyu, which of these generals seems to be able to win the world? Said that there are not many soldiers and horses, the territory is not big, my Taizu Gao Emperor came out of Guo Zixing to bring how many soldiers, the first bandits to work, to fight several nearby states and counties, to Jiqing, that is, now Nanjing. Then select generals, train troops, tuntian, recruit Confucian scholars, Xuxian corporal, military law is severe, and settle down in the place. Compete with Zhang Wang and fight to the death with Chen Youliang. This is the hero of the people, who started in the south and achieved the emperor's business, since ancient times, there is only one person named Emperor Taizu Gao. These people in front of me, whether they are the generals I mentioned, or today's son, or Shi, Ma Zhugong, or Li Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong and the like, there is no one like the master. I am not only worried about the kindness of the Min family and the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, but I don't want to oppose my Ming Dynasty, and I feel that it is difficult for my Ming Dynasty to keep the national honor, and I am afraid that it will not happen. But when I look at it, I can't see which one is the meteorological pattern of the lord of the new dynasty, so are we just stuck on this seaside, waiting for the general trend of the world to be decided? The gentleman wants to take advantage of the time, I don't want the Min family to turn their backs on the Ming Dynasty, nor do I want to lose my position in the new dynasty, I hope my Min family can go further. Our strength is not able to be a person who chases the deer, but we can't let go lightly from the dragon's skill, with Yuan Qi's ability, it is not impossible to win a new dynasty prince...... In short, it is difficult to settle down in my heart. ”

Min Yuan laughed straight and said, "It turns out that my father is thinking about this every day? It's not that you're worried that the guest soldiers will be able to bring us to the pot? ”

"Just those crap snacks?" Min Qiande said with a smile: "Your father also served as an officer in the Caojiang Battalion back then, and the Caojiang Battalion is useless enough, and Caozhou Liu's military discipline is not much stronger than the Caojiang Battalion." There may be only about two or three thousand Neiding, wearing double armor and riding war horses to carry out sharp soldiers, and it is difficult for us to defeat them. If you want to attack our thousand cities and sweep away the defenses arranged by Yuan Qi all the way, even if Liu Zeqing comes over in person with all the guest soldiers, I am afraid it will be quite difficult. He has 10,000 people, the main force of 3,500 people, more than 3,000 guards, and thousands of military households temporarily recruited, looking like 3,000 to 10,000, in fact, 10,000 to 10,000, the time and place are favorable, plus a general like Yuan Qi presided, he Liu Zeqing sent 10,000 people to eat us and do his mother's dream of Qingqiu. ”

Min Yuanzhi listened and laughed, and when Min Qiande finished speaking, Min Yuanzhi said: "Since Dad is so relieved, don't worry if I lead the cavalry to the expedition." ”

Min Qiande was shocked and said, "They just arrived near Guannan, right?" This is about to go on the expedition? ”

"Can you tell them to walk comfortably all the way to the ladder pass?" Min Yuanzhi's murderous aura was very obvious in his eyes, and he said: "I didn't bring them all, I only brought about fifty people, all of whom were good at riding and slashing and stabbing skills." It's a pity, the last time I fought with bandits, my son led twenty good hands, and now it's almost three months, and only thirty people have been added to the team, in fact, a few are still a little reluctant, and the remaining more than 100 people are nothing more than riding horses, slashing and stabbing guns, the team is not chaotic, this minimum standard has not yet passed, bringing them is to add chaos, this more than 100 people are also arranged along the way, the latest military intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department in the past few days are these people to pass the order, just practice equestrianism, on the battlefield when the Tang horse order, it is also an experience, Hopefully, their riding skills will improve in the future. ”

Min Yuanzhi also sighed, the cavalry combat method is really not easy to practice, even if it is a cavalry combat method of combined attack and sprint, it will not be effective in half a year to a year.

The problem now is not only the lack of riders, but also the lack of horses.

Fortunately, there are a lot of miscellaneous horses, and Min Yuanzhi found a good seedling and brought it directly to the cavalry hundred generals, and first used the miscellaneous horses to train the troops, so that in the future, when Min Yuanqi's territory is larger, his strength is stronger, and the money and grain are more sufficient to buy war horses in large quantities, it will not be even more embarrassing if there are horses and no soldiers.

"Father." Before leaving, Min Yuanzhi suddenly stopped, and said: "In my opinion, with the ability of Brother Yuan Qi, and the power of our Cloud Ladder Pass, in the current situation, don't say that the Central Plains is the first to be divided, at least one side is divided, and it is not impossible to achieve the royal industry." My Min family may not be a pattern of commanding the world! ”
