Chapter VII
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Yidao really doesn't like to be an official, and he has to look at other people's faces and do things every day. Although he said that he had to be an official for his own safety, Lao Zhu really didn't have much interest in this.
When he was fine, he always fantasized that the Wanli Emperor sitting on the dragon chair was really not easy, he had to worry about state affairs every day, and he had to fight with the ministers. finally fought Zhang Juzheng to death, and he could justifiably be the emperor, but a group of Zhang Juzheng came again - Zhang Juzheng died, and his position is still there! Is it necessary to be an official to this point? Even if it is eternal, people are already dead. No amount of praise and honor can be given to him. It's not worth it!
The fifteenth year of Wanli soon arrived.
Just a few days after New Year's Day, a shocking news spread all over the country. Qi Jiguang passed away.
More than thirty years ago. He went to Beijing alone, resisting the Hulu in the north and the Japanese in the south. Hundreds of battles, large and small, water battles, landing battles, foot battles, have never been defeated! He is Huo Qubing of the Ming Dynasty, and he is Yue Fei of the Ming Dynasty! His "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Actual Record of Military Training" became two of China's top ten military books, and his Qi family army was one of the most powerful armies of the Ming Dynasty for decades in China and even Korea. So much so that once any war broke out in the Ming Dynasty, the first thing that the court considered from the emperor to the hundred officials was Qi Jiguang.
In the 40-year battle of Taizhou in Jiajing, after the battles of Xinhe, Huajie, Shangfengling, Tengling, Changsha, etc., thirteen battles and thirteen victories, more than 3,000 true widows were killed, and they were burned and drowned; The battle of Fujian, the total strength of 6,000, through Hengyu, Niutian, Lindun three battles, beheaded more than 5,000 real Japanese soldiers, of which the battle of Hengyu is a wonderful infantry artillery coordinated operation, first with artillery to sink the Japanese warship and bombard the Japanese camp, and then with the assault force to land to break through the Japanese Invaders' main formation, kill the Japanese leaders. In the forty-second year of Jiajing, Pinghaiwei, Xianyou, Wangcangping, Cai Piling fought four battles, beheaded more than 20,000 real widows, and exterminated the pirate Wu Ping who colluded with the Japanese in Guangdong, beheaded 30,000 widows, and Wu Ping fled to the sea. At the same time, it also created a miracle of the casualty ratio of the enemy in the era of cold weapons with an average of 22 casualties in exchange for 1,000 killings.
In the first year of Longqing, Qi Jiguang and 3,000 of his old subordinates were transferred to Beijing to supervise the formation of Jiliao, and 30,000 chariots and cavalry battalions were arranged. In the second year of Longqing, Dong Fox, the chief of the Duoyan Department, handsome Mongolian iron cavalry 30,000 entered the Kou, Qi Jiguang resisted with a car battalion, and he led 8,000 cavalry to raid Dong Fox's tooth tent, completely annihilated Duoyan 30,000 iron cavalry, captured Dong Fox's nephew Changang, Dong Fox only escaped with his body, and forced Dong Fox to detain and ask for guilt; In the third year of Wanli, the long bald and handsome Wuliang Ha Iron Cavalry 50,000 entered the Kou, and Qi Jiguang led 8,000 horsemen to outflank the fortress, annihilated 50,000 Mongolian troops, and captured Changbald alive.
What is not widely known is that the rise of China's Shaolin Temple was entirely the result of Qi Jiguang teaching his monks stick skills and knife skills, and allowing them to join the army to fight against the Japanese. In this sense, the fact that Shaolin Temple can now flourish is definitely the credit of Qi Jiguang.
Zhu Yidao was silent for a long time after knowing the news, he locked himself in the house for a long time and didn't come out. This made Qin Zhixian and the big man very incomprehensible. Qi Jiguang is certainly a generation of famous generals, but Lao Zhu can't be so sad, right?
They didn't know how excited Zhu Yidao was when he knew that he and this national hero were in a dynasty, and when Zhu Yidao knew that this national hero actually passed away, he knew that he was even more sorry and sighed!
Zhu Yidao erected a mound for Qi Jiguang behind the house. I invited the best stonemason in the county to carve a large stone tablet with a few big characters on it:
National hero Qi Jiguang through the ages!
In fact, Lao Zhu didn't know that he was not qualified to crown Qi Jiguang as a "national hero" at all, but Dahan did not stop him, but also bowed respectfully three times in front of the clothed mound. Qin Zhixian sprinkled three glasses of wine on the ground with a solemn expression in front of the clothed mound.
No matter what era or society, what people respect most are those heroes who sacrificed their lives for national security and national independence.
Lao Zhu didn't recover for several days, and Xiao Nan heard him muttering all the time: "General Qi, why did you go?" ”
Xiao Nan was afraid that something would go wrong with him, so she quietly told Dahan. Dahan was originally suspicious of Lao Zhu's reaction, but now when he heard Xiao Nan say this, he was even more suspicious that Lao Zhu must have had some connection with Qi Jiguang before. How could you be so grief-stricken?
learned from the mouth of the big man that Qi Jiguang was relegated to his hometown Dengzhou and died depressed, Zhu Yidao was even more determined not to be an official. Just kidding, the ministers can't even tolerate the famous general Qi Jiguang, what else does this official do? Since ancient times, there have only been two kinds of officials, one is for fame and fortune, and the other is for showing their ambitions. Lao Zhu has no interest in fame and fortune, let alone any ambition to show, so there is no need for this official to do it.
Qin Zhixian sighed very much after getting Zhu Yidao's specific reply, but it was a pity that he still felt sorry for a long time. He was also refreshed, not only gave a house to Lao Zhu, but also gave Lao Zhu with his subordinates. The fifty taels of silver became five hundred taels. And promised that in the future, if Lao Zhu needs anything, just ask. The love of healing and saving people must be repaid no matter what.
Naturally, the Spring Festival was very happy. Qin Zhixian is still a county no matter what, since the second year of junior high school, there have been constant dinners and visiting guests, and Zhu Yidao has also been lively with him. The guests who came to the third year of junior high school were all heavyweights: county Cheng Wang Decai, the main Bo Li Zizai, and Chen Quan, the classic history, etc. Everyone is nothing more than giving gifts, eating, and then having fun and saying a few beautiful words. During the banquet, I couldn't see any unhappiness between Wang Decai and Qin Mi at all, Lao Zhu was thinking in his heart that they were both hypocritical enough. Lao Zhu doesn't like this kind of scene, but it doesn't mean that he can't speak, and after experiencing the matter of curing the county magistrate and giving the county a job, everyone is also unusually polite and respectful to Lao Zhu.
Zhu Yidao prepared gifts for Xiao Nan and Dahan: for Xiao Nan was a pair of polished very delicate earrings, and for Dahan was a piece of clothing wrapped in cloth on the outside and thin iron on the inside, which was beautiful in appearance and took into account safety. For people like Dahan who often have to use knives and guns, such a gift is undoubtedly the most practical and intimate. So the big man didn't like it, so he immediately ran to the back room to change his clothes, and when he came out, he told Xiao Nan: You have to find a man who can treat you like this in the future! made Xiao Nan blushing and running away shyly.
Qin Zhixian also gave Zhu Yidao a gift that made him very moved and excited: a real and legal household registration. It is still a good citizen's household registration. From now on, Zhu Yidao is a real Ming Dynasty person. It's no longer a black household. But Dahan felt that it was unnecessary, wasn't it just an identity certificate, was it necessary to be so nervous? That's because Dahan hasn't experienced the embarrassment of not having an identity. Zhu Yidao had experienced it profoundly, so he cared. After he lost his ID card, it was almost impossible to move an inch in Shanghai, and taking the subway made the police check his ID card several times with extreme suspicion. After his girlfriend led him out of the police station, the contemptuous look in his eyes made Zhu Yidao never forget it in his life.
You must know that the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty is very hierarchical, divided into three categories: military households, civilian households, and artisan households. The status of the artisan is the lowest. The most important thing is that there are few intermarriages between the three, but since Jiajing, the management of household registration has been much lax. Especially like military and artisan households, they can even participate in the imperial examination, and even businessmen can spend money to donate officials. It's no wonder that the military household of Dahan doesn't care so much, it's really useless to say that it's not a big use, but it's really troublesome to really give up this household registration.
Wang Decai's son, Wang Xing, has been staring at Xiao Nan from the moment he entered the house, and his two green eyes floated around with Xiao Nan's incomplete chest. This made Zhu Yidao very unhappy. Although Xiao Nan is not my woman, I am not a strange uncle who loves lolicon, and I don't have such a bad taste, but you can't do it in front of me, right? They just didn't take me seriously! If it had been placed in the past, Lao Zhu would have rushed up to smoke his uncle, but not now. is Wang Decai's eldest son, in case there are three long and two short, he will be tied to the vegetable field and beheaded.
Dahan also noticed it, but Dahan was very smart to let Xiaonan go to the kitchen to help, and Wang Xing would not follow him in that kind of place. In this way, it will avoid everyone's embarrassment. It's just that Lao Zhu no longer has the fun of drinking and chatting.
