Chapter 622: It's rude to meet the old handsome
This Korean War has achieved the name of Li Mithril Shura, and no one can hide the brilliance of Li Mi, except for this man, Li Rumei.
He shot three arrows to kill three generals, saved his brother Li Rusong from life and death, turned the tide and reversed the situation, which can be called an arrow from God!
However, it is a pity that in the early years, some people impeached him, saying that he was afraid of the enemy, but the court believed it and dismissed him, and now he can only live in Liaodong City.
After Li Mi heard the news from Shi Shiyong, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that Li Rumei's archery skills were superb, just like a sniper on the battlefield, he was originally going to shoot in the rear, and you impeached him for not moving forward for fear of the enemy, isn't this a trumped-up crime.
If it was usual, Li Mi would inevitably complain for him, but now Li Mi has seen through many things.
At that time, Li Rusong was the chief military officer, and the power of the Li family was too great, and after Li Rusong's class returned to the dynasty, some people suggested that Li Rumei should take over the post of the chief military officer of the imperial widow and continue to stay in Korea.
If that's the case, the Li family is too highlight.
Li Chengliang's nine sons, known as the nine tiger generals of Li Men, five of them became the chief military officer, and four of them became the third-grade generals.
Li Rusong also had his own considerations at that time, and he needed to deal with some conspiracies in the court, and it was difficult for Li Rumei to say that she had not become a victim, and outsiders could not see it clearly.
Seeing Li Mi coming, Li Rumei was also overjoyed, after receiving the information that Li Mi disappeared, Li Rumei was also sorry in her heart, although he was unforgiving and arrogant on his face, but he had already been completely impressed by Li Mi's performance on the battlefield.
Seeing each other again at this time, Li Rumei also happily welcomed Li Mi to the house.
"Where have you been all these years?" Li Rumei asked people to make tea while talking with Li Mi.
He is a Confucian general, but also a person as his name, although he lives in Liaodong City, there are not too many literati and ink writers in this place, but he himself is also writing and painting, planting flowers and raising fish, self-cultivation, this house is rough in the style of the border people, it also looks very delicate.
Li Mi had to briefly talk about his experiences, not because they were sympathetic, but because they were closely related to what he was going to do next.
Zhou Yu threw himself into the black prison, Taiping Dao controlled the black prison, and he was ordered to catch the thief, everything was justified.
Moreover, he foiled the plot of Taiping Dao and Japan's counterattack on the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yijun didn't say a word, just asked him to return to Beijing lightly, and Li Mi also had some doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart.
Therefore, it is a matter of course to ask for help from the army of the imperial court to complete the emperor's task, and it is inevitable that it will be chilling due to various rules and regulations.
Li Rumei has been idle for a few years, and her heart has calmed down, and she is also amazed to hear Li Mi's experience in the past three or four years.
"I'll accompany Brother Li Xian, how about it?"
Li Mi didn't dare to agree indiscriminately, Li Rumei is Li Chengliang's fifth son, and he is deeply loved by Li Chengliang, otherwise he would not follow Li Chengliang to Liaodong, this trip is dangerous, if there are three long and two short, it is not easy to explain, after all, he has no military position now.
Besides, Li Rumei also has a family and a room, has children and daughters, marches and fights, and sits in the center, so she really wants to fight with thieves, but she is afraid that it will not be easy to fool.
Seeing Li Mi's hesitation, Li Rumei's arrogance also surged up, and said to Li Mi: "Could it be that Brother Li Xian feels that I am too rich and rich to be content with pleasure, and I can't do it if I am short-lived!" β
Li Mi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Brother Ziqing's sassy and heroic appearance is still vivid, how can I be suspicious, but Brother Ziqing now has no military official body, and this time he is resisting the order, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future, if I can bear it, it is easy to say, if the Li family is involved, how can it be good?" β
Li Mi also said from the bottom of his heart, Li Rumei could hear it, but he also snorted coldly and said: "I, Li Rumei, have long been involved, otherwise how would I be reduced to the point of providing for the elderly in advance?" β
He pointed to the calligraphy and paintings in the room: "Don't you see that I am happy to be idle, there is not a moment in my heart that I don't want to bend the bow and shoot arrows, and ride horses and gallop days, if people are really idle, they will be wasted......"
Speaking of this, Li Rumei's face also darkened.
Li Mixin had relatives, and said to Li Rumei: "Since this is the case, I think it is better to do this, let's go to see Li Shuai together, if he nods, let's go to the Jurchen Department together, how are you doing?" β
Li Rumei's eyes lit up, and she said to Li Mi: "This is very good, let's go here!" β
Li Mi also made a careful move, he actually wished that Li Rumei would join, with Li Rumei in the team, no matter how he fought for it, Li Chengliang would definitely provide the best assistance!
With Li Rumei leading the way, the secretary of the yamen can also enter, Li Rumei directly brought Li Mi to the back house, Li Mi finally saw the true face of the first general in the middle and late Ming Dynasty!
Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong for 30 years, making Liaodong solid, the credit is not to be erased, in the early days of Wanli, Li Chengliang successively destroyed the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe Wang Gao, Zi Atai department, and several times defeated the chiefs of the Han and Taining departments, and lured the leaders of the Haixi Jurchens to the border city with a trick and killed them directly.
At that time, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng had fallen from power, the civil officials were corrupt, and the military generals were cowardly, but Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong for 30 years, and led the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to play ten great victories, which can be called the world.
However, as said earlier, Li Chengliang was in a high position of power, and gradually became extravagant, and even falsely reported his military exploits to seek personal gain, so that the spokesman was impeached, and he was finally dismissed.
Although he was dismissed, his son Li Rusong was able to successfully ascend to the throne, which may also be the unspoken rule of officialdom, and what extravagance is just an excuse, perhaps the court thinks that his son Li Rusong is easier to control than Li Chengliang, so he made such an arrangement.
In any case, in the ten years after the dismissal, Liaodong was also weakened, especially after the war of the Japanese slaves invading Korea, the imperial court became nervous again, realizing that Liaodong was not lacking Li Chengliang at all.
So, in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, Li Chengliang was reinstated, and the official was reinstated, so that he could retake charge of Liaodong, when Li Chengliang was already seventy and six, and now three or four years have passed, and it is estimated that Li Chengliang should also be eighty.
Life is rare in seventy years, and in this era when the average life expectancy is not long, Li Chengliang, who lived to be eighty years old, is already a very long life, not to mention that he is still in the post of the Liaodong General Army, which is even more surprising.
According to historical records, Li Chengliang died at the age of ninety, which means that he still has ten years to live, which shows that although he has been fighting all year round, his health is still very good.
Li Mi and Li Rusong came in to visit, but they saw that although Li Chengliang's hair was sparse, he had a bun, a bit like the pill head of later generations, although there were many wrinkles and age spots on his face, his teeth were still good, and his eyes were like sleeping tigers, which made people dare not look directly.
Although Li Mi has no actual official position, he has a knighthood, and like Li Chengliang, he is an earl, so he didn't have to make a big salute, but Li Chengliang is old and meritorious after all, and Li Mi still gave him a salute honestly.
Li Chengliang was in good spirits and was very tough, raised his hand and pointed at Li Rusong and said: "Idiot, Lord Li is also an earl, how can he let him salute and not return the salute for the old man!" β
Li Rusong was slightly stunned, but soon bowed back to Li Mi.
However, these subtle changes in expression naturally can't escape Li Mi's eyes, and Li Chengliang is by no means such a polite person on weekdays.
Besides, I'll salute you, and you let your son make up for it, in the end, Li Mi suffers, so why bother to pretend to be a faΓ§ade.
"The marshal can break Xiao Ke...... I really can't ......" Li Mi said marshal, and Li Chengliang was also full of comfort, after all, people are old like children, and their faces are good-looking, and the old man is happy.
Li Chengliang Rongma has also experienced court battles in his life, and he has already lived as a human spirit, and he doesn't have to play too many tricks when interacting with such a person, but he is more comfortable and refreshing.
The reason why Li Mi behaved like this was to show his posture, in front of him Li Chengliang, even if Li Mi was a martial arts uncle, he was also his junior, and he couldn't threaten him Li Chengliang, and there was no conflict of interest between the two.
And Li Chengliang was able to understand Li Mi's intentions, so he had a smile on his face, let Li Mi sit down, and asked, "Why did Lord Li come to such a bitter place in Liaodong?" β
"Don't you dare...... There is an old marshal in charge, Liaodong is changing day by day, where is there still a bitter place, this way, I don't know how lively it is, it can be called the south of the Yangtze River, and the bitterness is not to say. β
Li Chengliang's greatest effort in his life is Liaodong, otherwise he would not have worked tirelessly at the age of 76 to return to Liaodong.
Li Cheng Liang was happy to elevate Liaodong's achievements in this way, but he only waved his hand and smiled at Li Mi.
"No wonder you can be knighted at a young age, and your mouth is also very sweet, please the old man, the old man won't talk to you, if you have something serious to talk about, if you don't have a serious matter, let Rumei take you around to play, if you don't say it, the old man, I'm going to doze off......"
Li Mi also smiled, no longer verbose, and immediately told his intentions, and also picked up the important things for Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu.
I thought that Li Chengliang would object, but who knew that the old man said to Li Mi: "Even if you go to make trouble, if something happens, the old man will help you bear it." β
When he said this, Li Mi was a little at a loss, after all, the Jurchen Ministry is now beginning to show its hideousness, and no longer obeys the orders of the Ming Dynasty, and the border army of the Ming Dynasty enters the Jurchen realm, and there are often conflicts and fights.
Li Chengliang is also old, for fear that he will not be able to hold on to himself halfway through the war, and no one will be able to clean up the mess, otherwise he would have asked for troops to kill the Jurchens!
Li Rusong took the opportunity to laugh on the side: "Father...... The child wants to go out and walk around...... In the past few years, I have been writing at home, and my hands and feet have been wasted......"
Li Chengliang raised his eyelids slightly and stared at Li Rusong for a long time.
Although Li Rusong has always had a hippie smile, Li Chengliang's expression changed, and he immediately bowed his head and was silent, which shows how majestic this father is in the family on weekdays.
After a long time, Li Chengliang snorted and said: "It's okay to go out for a walk, if you kill someone, you have to tell them that you are my Li Chengliang's son, if you are arrested, don't say it's my son, so as not to be embarrassed." β
When Li Rusong heard this, he also smiled at Li Mi, and was about to bow and leave, but Li Chengliang said to Li Mi and Li Rusong.
"Let's go slowly, since you are here, the old man has a question to test you, so please prick up your ears and listen."
When Li Miyan heard this, he was also full of doubts, after all, things are so smooth, it shouldn't be so simple.
