Chapter 259: Seven Star Gang
In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, Aixinjue Luo Nurhachi attacked the Ming with seven hatreds, and teamed up with Li Yongfang, a traitor in the Ming army, to attack Fushun City and Qinghe City.
The Ming Dynasty and the opposition were shaken, and the Wanli Emperor levied an additional 2 million taels of silver, and transferred troops from Sichuan, Gansu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces to reinforce Liaodong, and ordered Korea and the Jurchen Yehe Department to send troops to respond.
After more than half a year of preparation, the Ming army assembled in Shenyang City the following year.
Yang Hao, the Ming Liaodong Jingluo, led Ma Lin, Jun Song, Liu Wei, Li Rubai, and more than 100,000 horses of the Fourth Route Army to attack Nurhachi's 100,000 Manchurian soldiers.
Then, Salhu was defeated, the Ming army lost more than 40,000 yuan, and the enemy had countless weapons and armor, and the Wanli Emperor died the following year.
In the first year of Taichang, the Houjin army continued to invade Liaodong, and the emperor ordered Qin Liangyu to send troops to Liao.
Qin Liangyu sent his elder brother Qin Bangping, Qin Banghan, and younger brother Qin Minping to lead Qin Yiming and 3,000 elites to Liaodong first.
Their sons and nephews Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming, Qin Zuoming, and Qin Zuoming have been sending their relatives to Chongqing.
Deng Ru's story happened at this time.
After saying goodbye and sending their relatives on the journey with the enthusiasm of the teenagers, the excitement in the hearts of the four teenagers was even more than the sorrow.
Of course, Qin Gongming didn't expect this parting, it was a farewell to his father, and after that, in addition to his father, there was also his second uncle Qin Banghan.
I don't know if it's Qin Gongming, Ma Xianglin was still young, and his fun-loving heart was still there, and after sending off his relatives, he took the young Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming to stroll to Qixinggang outside the city.
The reason is that the younger brothers all want to eat the almond tofu of the Qixinggang Wang family.
It was a childhood memory belonging to the brothers.
The tofu of the Wang family, even in autumn and winter, will be cooled by well water ice, fragrant, salty, soft and glutinous, and spicy seeds are also put in, which has a special taste.
Qin Zuoming doesn't like spicy food very much, but Qin Gongming and Qin Zuoming are very spicy, and every time they eat almond tofu, they will sprinkle a lot of spicy food.
Especially Qin Gongming, no matter how much spicy he ate, his face was still as white as paper.
Ma Xianglin was rigorous, ate two bowls carefully and slowly, and then sat on the bench, smiling at the brothers' appearance of eating in search of death and life.
Qin Gongming ate eighteen bowls in a row alone, and the store was stunned.
I could never have imagined that such an emaciated and sick young man would eat so viciously, as if if someone came to rob him, he would burst out and kill people.
After Qin Gongming ate eighteen bowls, he held his belly and raised his head to the sky and burped loudly, and then asked his two younger brothers defiantly:
"Third brother, fourth brother, how much have you eaten?"
Qin Zuoming stretched out his chubby little short hand without raising his head, measured a number and said, "I ate six bowls." ”
Qin Zuoming has always been shy and doesn't like to talk much, but he just smiled at Qin Gongming and continued to deal with the almond tofu in the bowl.
Qin Gongming rolled his eyes, "Second brother asked, why didn't you answer?" ”
After waiting for a long time, Qin Zuoming finally muttered: "It's not you who invited, are you still afraid that I will eat too much?" ”
Qin Gongming's heart is empty, it seems that Qin Zuoming's words are really irrefutable.
He never seemed to have invited anyone else, and when he went out to eat, he either spent money on it or hunted by himself.
"Hehe, you kid, although you don't talk much, you are very choked, the shopkeeper's accounting!"
Qin Gongming was in a bad mood, but he said it very generously, but he silently took out two fifty copper coins, but it was not him but Ma Xianglin.
"Store, don't look for it."
"Ha, thank you, Childe.
The shopkeeper was stunned after speaking, it turned out that he only saw the silhouette of this polite son, and only felt that he was extraordinary, which made people feel like Ling Ran.
No matter how restrained he is in white clothes, it is still difficult to hide his military atmosphere and natural noble temperament.
The so-called non-anger and self-authority is such a principle.
The shopkeepers were a little afraid to look up, although Ma Xianglin smiled elegantly, but the shopkeepers didn't dare to scorn these young masters at all, for fear of accidentally offending the big man, the shopkeeper calmed down, swallowed before saying:
"Hehe, a few, a few sons are people who practice martial arts at a glance, and the amount of food is really amazing! Definitely all martial arts masters. ”
The store didn't know what kind words to use to warm up, so they just said it casually.
Ma Xianglin was not a one-eyed general at this time, and he felt that his appearance was not terrifying, and he was quite approachable.
Of course, the answer to the store is also very patient:
"The shopkeeper guessed well, my brothers and I do practice martial arts, but to say that the martial arts masters in this world can not be distinguished by the amount of food alone.
The so-called martial arts practice is nothing more than the store's tofu, relying on water grinding kung fu day after day. ”
The shopkeeper nodded to Ma Xianglin and accosted him, but Qin Gongming wiped his mouth and said:
"I said shopkeeper, I still want to bring back two bowls for my eldest brother to try, he also likes your almond tofu very much."
The eldest brother has already gone to Liaodong with his father, and he is still using it as an excuse.
As he spoke, Qin Gongming wanted to carry the bowl of tofu himself, but the shopkeeper took a few steps forward, holding the bowl in his hand with both hands, and smiling.
Qin Gongming twisted his eyebrows and was a little annoyed, but compared to the terrifying coercion brought by that Shenhua's introverted cousin, the shopkeeper was not afraid of the white-faced sick ghost in front of him who didn't look like a good person at first glance.
"This boy raised his noble hand, there are not many coarse porcelain bowls in the small shop, if you take it, the small one will not be able to do business for a few days."
The brothers also knew Qin Gongming's nature, he didn't want to pack Qin Yiming at all, but ......
"Shopkeeper, we are a regular customer here, it would be unkind for you to do this, your almond tofu costs three dollars a bowl, and five dollars two bowls.
Do you calculate how much we ate? ”
What about regulars, I don't know how many years ago.
It turned out that Qin Gongming was distressed that Ma Xianglin had given too many copper coins.
The four brothers ate a total of thirty-two bowls, a total of ninety yuan, and he was distressed by the extra ten yuan given by Ma Xianglin, so he wanted to pack and take away two bowls.
Is this still the son of a family, the Qin family is also rich in Zhongzhou, why is Qin Gongming so stingy?
It is precisely because of Qin Gongming's characteristics that he can eat and is stingy, and later people called him a 'live glutton' behind his back.
What made Qin Gongming angry the most was that he deliberately made a tiger face, and this unclear shopkeeper still seemed to be more jealous of Ma Xianglin's guy and ignored him.
The shopkeeper was disdainful in his heart, but the rest of the customers in the store were circling Qin Gongming's words:
Do you calculate how much we ate?
Four people, eating more than 30 bowls, oh my God, he is still too little.
"Okay, third, fourth, have you eaten enough?"
Ma Xianglin asked with a smile, Qin Zuoming nodded, and Qin Zuoming just licked the soup on his lips lovingly.
"When we're full, let's go back to camp."
