Why does Gan Qi make his scalp tingle?

Because there is a sentence in Di Qingxin: Dao Jian is loyal and righteous, and he can be entrusted with his life, and he should repay him with death, and he will live up to it.

Di Qing said to his subordinates, Gan Qi can be entrusted with his life? Death in return?

What does this phrase mean?

This is not what Gan Qi meant by his henchmen.

What kind of life is this entrusted?

Let the soldiers of a country entrust their lives to a person and repay him with death.

This kind of remark is not found in Ganch's ideology. Because of the duty of a soldier, it is to protect the family and defend the country. Where is the use of repaying a man with death?

But when you think about it, isn't this the most common thing that happened in ancient armies? In ancient times, if you tell him about the righteousness of the family and the country, you can, but he may not understand how much, he can't even read a few words, and you tell him the righteousness of the family and the country, the words of the sage, he may not be able to understand a few words. It is difficult for most ordinary military men to ask him to have a high level of ideological consciousness.

Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, why can so many generals rebel? Shi Jingjiao said the opposite, Zhao Kuangyin said the opposite, and he also said that the yellow robe was added, he didn't want to be the emperor, but his subordinates had to force him to be the emperor.

Why was it that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the official army was not as good as the private army?

That's mostly the case.

Why did the imperial court guard Di Qing so much? In fact, this is also the case.

The trust of the military man in his own commander often exceeds the trust in the imperial court. At this point, there is too much difference between ordinary soldiers in ancient times and soldiers in later generations.

So when Gan Qi saw this passage in Di Qingxin, how could he not feel numb on his scalp?

Gan Qi knew at this time that Di Qing did not have the capital to rebel, but he was really loyal and patriotic, and he really did not want to rebel, and would rather die in fear than think about rebelling. The same is true for Yue Fei later, if Yue Fei really wants to rebel, Yue's army is afraid that it has already reached the head of Lin'an City, but Yue Fei would rather die unjustly than do so.

At this moment, Gan Qi's reverence for Di Qing became a little more.

Gan Qi was also a little more panicked in his own heart, and Di Qing's letter was a little scary.

Don't talk about it yet, but Shi Honglei is obviously Di Qing's henchman, the kind of general who will follow even if Di Qing wants to rebel.

This letter is probably also addressed to Shi Honglei, when Shi Honglei sees this letter, what will be the result?

Does it mean that even if Ganchi wants to rebel in the future? Shi Honglei will also carry a knife without saying a word?

Why did Di Qing do this?

Gan Qi looked at Di Qing with some puzzlement.

Di Qing's face was dark, and he said: "Don't be afraid, you are a civil official, you are a good man outside the Donghua Gate, if you go into battle in the future, how can there be no one who sacrifices his life for you?"

Gan Qi understood, Di Qing really hoped that Gan Qi would be able to pick up the burden in the future, the burden of the country's foreign war, if you want to pick up the burden, then naturally you need to have such generals and soldiers who can shed blood for Gan Qi.

It's not a tax thing.

Di Qing was able to get these generals to sacrifice their lives to serve the dead, which was earned by Di Qing for decades in the battle formation, this is a friend of life and death.

Ganchi Why? Gan Qi proved himself by the Battle of Yongzhou, and even more by Di Qing passed on the war legacy of his life to Gan Qi, although only a small part of it.

"Uncle Di, you're thinking too far." Gan Qi said.

Di Qing shook his head: "The old man doesn't think far, he has seen a lot of life and death, and he also knows that he also has that day, now that I am old, you are only a weak crown, you still have to live for decades, this Great Song Dynasty will also have thousands of generations, you should do what you have to do." ”

Gan Qi looked down at the letter again, an invisible pressure spread throughout his body, sighed slightly, and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid of disappointing you." ”

"Dao Jian, you should be confident, more than a thousand soldiers, you should treat them well, if you treat them well, they will repay them with death. There are people who dare to die, and there are extraordinary strategies, why can't you cross the battlefield? Di Qing clearly had a lot of confidence in Gan Qi. Maybe there is another reason, that is, there is no one to trust except Ganqi.

Ganchi didn't say anything.

Di Qing patted Gan Qi on the shoulder and continued to write.

The letter was written, one for Du Tou Zhekexing, and one for the battalion commander Shi Honglei.

Gan Qi put the letter away and went out.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is getting warmer, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is a good spring again.

Gan Qi took a deep breath, started to leave, and when he returned home, he was also writing invitations, one for Zhi Kexing and one for Shi Honglei.

The people came, they came early, they came early, and they didn't even prepare Ganchi's feast.

Shi Honglei of the official university walked behind, and Zheke, who was a small official, walked in front. The one who spoke was also Zhi Kexing, and even so, it can be seen that there is still a difference in the status of the two in the army. Fold the family, generations of military generals, inheritance represents identity.

The banquet was at the hot spring hotel, and Gan Qi didn't have time to go out to greet the two, so the two walked in to greet them and say a few words.

Gan Qi also smiled: "How did the two generals come so quickly? ”

Zhi Kexing, a young man, with dark skin, slapped his face in all directions, quite tough, arched his hand and replied: "I don't dare to call a general, Mr. Gan is called, since he came early, he is also a very big rule in the army, and if he does not return at night, he will be punished." I couldn't stay for a long time, so I came early and asked Mr. Gan for forgiveness. ”

Zhi Kexing, is the father of the famous generals in the late Northern Song Dynasty, who is also a well-known generation of famous generals, fighting tigers, and has not really risen yet.

Gan Qi nodded in understanding, and turned back to ask Gan Ba to urge the banquet to come up quickly, these two must return to the barracks at night. The military discipline of the Western Army is relatively strict, but the local forbidden army in Bianliang will not be so strict, not to mention not returning to the camp at night, and many people have to go out to do crafts or hard work to subsidize their families.

Shi Honglei also came forward to meet: "A certain Shi Honglei, a person from Huayin, Huazhou, has seen Mr. Gan. ”

Shi Honglei, a military man about forty years old, is tall, has a rough voice, has a scar on his face like a centipede, and has a fierce aura.

However, after hearing the place name of Huayin, Gan Qi suddenly remembered a person in the story, Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon in the Water Margin, seems to be also a person from Huayin, but I don't know if Shi Jin in the story has anything to do with Shi Honglei.

Gan Qi didn't continue to think about it, raised his hand to invite the two to sit down, the banquet came up quickly, and Gan Qi frequently raised his glass and took the initiative to toast.

The champion of the new department, and the low-level military men took the initiative to toast, Zhi Kexing and Shi Honglei seemed to be a little flattered, especially Shi Honglei, but whenever Gan Qi raised his glass, he immediately stood up, not daring to sit and drink, even if Gan Qi frequently asked Shi Honglei to sit down, there was no need to be restrained, Shi Honglei would still stand up and drink with Gan Qi.

While he was drunk, Gan Qi took out two letters from his bosom, one for each of them, and said, "Please look at the two of you first, and after reading the letters, I am talking about what I have invited you to here today." After reading the letter, I asked the two of you to return the letter. ”

Puzzled, the two opened the letter and bowed their heads to read it.

Reading and reading, the faces of the two began to darken.

After reading the letter, I saw Shi Honglei suddenly get up from the chair, kneel on one knee, and bow down: "But according to Mr.'s orders, Shi went to the soup and went to the fire, and he did not give up." ”

Zhi Kexing also hurriedly got up, and also bowed down after learning Shi Honglei's appearance, and said: "Di Shumi's entrustment, I will not dare to resign, and I will ask Mr. to command." ”

Gan Qi hurriedly got up to help the two, and after helping the two of them, Gan Qi said: "This time there is an imperial mission, and more than a thousand Western troops need to enter the city to listen to it, after the two generals return to the camp, with the deployment, and then select and transfer some people and horses, make up a thousand, give me the list, I will go to the Ming official's house, and then report to the Privy Council, you can be transferred out of the camp and into the city. Please also ask the two generals to help more. ”

As he spoke, Gan Qi took back the two letters.

"Mr. Gan can use a certain family, and a certain family will definitely do his best!" Shi Honglei had a very loud voice, spoke with a full sense of neutrality, and his face was full of perseverance.

After Zhe Kexing was not left behind, he replied: "It is a humble honor to be able to listen to it in Tokyo, and rest assured, sir, it will be forbidden!" ”

Gan Qi looked at this scene, and was grateful to Di Qing in his heart, with more than a thousand soldiers of the Western Army under his command, this tax collection can be regarded as having a solid foundation.

Gan Qi raised his glass to thank him, and this time he even stood up and drank a glass of wine.
