Chi Erhan said: "They say that they are the descendants of Qi Shaobao of the former dynasty." Young master, this Qi Shaobao is someone we admire and emulate. You'll have to meet them. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, Qi Jiguang was an anti-Japanese hero in the Jiajing period, and after more than 100 years, I haven't heard that there are any descendants.

But after thinking about it, maybe he was lonely and unheard, and maybe he was the descendant of Qi Shaobao's clansmen.

Originally, I wanted to ask Zhang Guowei and them before talking, but looking at Chi Erhan's look of admiration for Qi Shaobao, Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Xiao Anzi, you and Erhan bring people in, and I'll see you." ”

Chi Erhan was overjoyed, and ran out with Song An in tow.

Wu Zheng thought about it, and still sent someone to ask Zhang Guowei to come and confess, otherwise Wu Zheng was afraid that he would make a joke once he made a mistake.

After a while, Song An and Chi Erhan led three people in, a middle-aged man in his forties, and two teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years of the same age.

"Xiaomin Qi Daokun and his nephew will visit the prince."

Wu Zheng stepped forward and said, "This uncle, don't be polite. Who are these two......? ”

Qi Daokun pointed to the slightly taller boy and said, "This is the dog Chenghao, that is the only son of Xiaomin's second brother, Chengjie." ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

"Xiaomin doesn't dare, let's stand."

Wu Zheng was no longer reluctant and asked, "Where is the uncle?" ”

Qi Daokun replied: "Xiaomin Fengyang Mansion Dingyuan people's clan. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, isn't Qi Shaobao from Penglai, Shandong?

So he asked suspiciously: "Listening to Chi Erhan, are you a descendant of Qi Shaobao of the former dynasty?" ”

Qi Daokun replied: "Xiaomin is not Qi Shaobao's descendant. ”

Wu Zheng glared at Chi Erhan.

Chi Erhan said anxiously: "Qi Daokun, you told me ...... in person." ”

Qi Daokun said: "General Chi is not in a hurry, it is not the people who coax the general. In fact, Xiaomin's ancestor and Qi Shaobao are indeed brothers. ”

At this time, Zhang Guowei came in and bowed his hand to Wu Zhengyi and said, "What is the important matter for the prince to pass on me?" ”

Wu Zheng pointed at Qi Daokun and the three of them with his hand, and said: "Zhang Gong is a Jinshi in the year of the Apocalypse, presumably he knows Qi Shaobao during the Jiajing period, today Chi Erhan brought these three people, saying that they are the descendants of Qi Shaobao, but they are the people of Fengyang Dingyuan, so I want to ask Zhang Gong to help identify them." ”

Zhang Guowei was a little surprised, and said: "Zhang did hear that Qi Shaobao has three sons, but the descendants of these three sons should be in Penglai, are you ......?" ”

Qi Daokun said: "Xiaomin's grandfather's name was gold, and he died outside the customs for the country. ”

Wu Zheng was even more strange in his heart, Du Du Tongzhi was a high-ranking official in the late Ming Dynasty, and then said that Yinzi, although it was only a Yin generation, it should also be a wealthy family, but now looking at the clothes of these three people, although they are not tattered, they are not glamorous.

Zhang Guowei on the side frowned, said a few words in his mouth, and suddenly asked, "But the former Wusong chief soldier Qi Jin?" ”

Qi Daokun said: "It is the ancestor." Xiaomin's father is three, and he is obsessed with Yuanbi. ”

Zhang Guowei nodded and said, "That should be right." ”

Wu Zheng asked Zhang Guowei, "What does Zhang Gong mean?" ”

So Zhang Guowei explained to Wu Zheng that Qi Shaobao had three brothers, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, Qi Jiming, Qi Jimei had no heirs, and Qi Jiming had a son Qi Jin, that is, Qi Shaobao's only nephew. At the beginning of Wanli, from the general soldier Liu Wei to conquer Guanxi, the first generals ascended to Goryeo City, and the first merit was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief. Later, he was transferred to the Jiangnan Wusong General Army. Qi Jin has three sons, Yuan Gong, Yuan Fu, and Yuan Bi.

At the end of Shenzong, when the border court was eventful, Qi Jin invited himself out of the customs, led his troops to go deep and was surrounded, and sacrificed his life for the country in the north of the Hunhe Bridge.

Wu Zheng heard and understood, this Qi Daokun was the son of Qi Yuanbi, the third son of Qi Jin, so to speak, the shadow of the court at that time was indeed less than the shadow of the third son.

So he nodded and said, "In this way, you are indeed related to Qi Shaobao...... Uncle, please sit down and talk. ”

This time, Qi Daokun did not shirk and sat down.

Wu Zheng asked: "I heard Chi Erhan say, you once said to him that you can help this king, I don't know what I mean?" ”

Qi Daokun arched his hand and said: "My ancestors have followed Qi Shaobao since he was a child to fight in the south and the north, and he has won the true inheritance of Qi Shaobao. When the ancestor was alive, he often urged his father to study the art of war and martial arts, and left eighteen volumes of "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and fourteen volumes of "The Actual Record of Military Training" before his death. When Xiaomin heard that the prince had made a grand wish for the Northern Expedition, he thought of offering a letter to the prince to help the prince. ”

Zhang Guowei was shocked and asked, "Where is the military book now?" ”

However, Wu Zheng did not have any surprises in his heart, what he thought was that seventy or eighty years had passed, and the way of thinking about leading troops and training troops to fight had already changed.

What Wu Zheng wanted more was to use Qi Jiguang's reputation in Jiangnan to form a new Qi family army to inspire and boost the morale of the people, but the person in front of him was not Qi Jiguang's direct descendant, so Wu Zheng dispelled this idea.

What Wu Zheng is thinking about now is to accept the military book, reward them with gold and silver, comfort them with kind words, and persuade them to leave.

Qi Daokun replied: "The military book is outside the Great General's Mansion and is guarded by small ethnic people. ”

Zhang Guowei hurriedly said: "Hurry up, please come in." ”

Wu Zheng did not object, and Song An immediately brought someone to move the military book in.

Looking at this thick stack of military books, Wu Zheng said to Qi Daokun: "Uncle Qi is far away, but there is something that needs the help of this king, although it is said that this king intends to report to the court and posthumously present the title of the Qi family, which not only remembers the soul of Qi Shaobao, but also shows Uncle Qi's contribution to the book today." ”

Qi Daokun said: "Thank you for the good intentions of the prince, the little people came today, not for the reward of the court and the prince. ”

Wu Zheng was slightly stunned, looked at Qi Daokun and said, "Then Uncle Qi has any requests, you might as well speak to this king." ”

Qi Daokun said: "Xiaomin does have two things to ask the prince, and I hope that the prince will be fulfilled." ”

Wu Zheng said: "Please speak." ”

"Xiaomin got these two military books from his father, and he has long been familiar with them, but he doesn't like military affairs since he was a child, so he is not proficient. However, Xiao Min likes to cast, runs an iron shop in the township, and has a small understanding of the firearms recorded in the war book. Today, Xiaomin is here, one is to offer a letter of service, and the other is to ask the prince to take it in, Xiaomin is willing to cast firearms for the prince, and those who come with Xiaomin, there are seven people, all of whom are members of the Dingyuan family...... And these two sons and nephews look forward to serving in the prince's army, hoping to regain the glory of the ancestors of the Qi family. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

Zhang Guowei stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Lord Wang, this is a good thing." ”

Wu Zheng replied in a low voice: "A good thing is a good thing, but how can the firearms of our army now be comparable to those of decades ago?" ”

Zhang Guowei is right to think about it, so he won't persuade it.
