Chapter 394: Performing in front of the school officials
Li Mi didn't expect that Wu Weizhong's banquet was full of high-ranking officers in the army, and Wu Weizhong didn't expect that Li Mi would bring a group of friends from Wu Yangyang.
These officers also frowned, only feeling that Li Mi didn't know how to be a person, and he made jokes in vain regardless of the occasion.
Although they all respect Wu Weizhong and are willing to promote Wu Weizhong's righteous son, who can be happy to see Li Mi's attitude?
Wu Weizhong knew that Li Mi was not Meng Lang's person, and these people could make Li Mi look up to it, and if they brought it to his general's mansion, they must be outstanding, so he listened to Li Mi's introduction one by one with a pleasant face.
Li Mi didn't want to make jokes, so he immediately introduced the identities of several people.
Although Xiong Tingbi was born in a poor family, he was Huguang's martial arts Xie Yuan, and he talked well and behaved politely.
Even some of the generals are hard-working and do not rely on their fathers, so they do not have a good impression of those second generations who eat and wait for death, but they appreciate Xiong Tingbi very much for people like Xiong Tingbi who rely on their own efforts to work hard to make a difference.
Although they don't like the second generation, when Li Mi introduced Zhao Guangling, they couldn't help but be in awe.
People in the military are more bloody than ordinary people, and they also attach more importance to the inheritance of the country, after all, their main mission is to protect their home and country.
So when they heard that Zhao Guangling was a descendant of the Song family, they didn't confuse him with other second generations, but showed some respect.
As for Zhang Huangting, his son Zhang Jian is an anti-Japanese hero on the southeast coast, although the imperial court did not have Zhao'an, but for this group of bloody men who brought their own dry food to resist the Japanese, the officers also admired it tightly, and everyone was relieved to hear that Zhang Huangting was also admitted to the martial arts.
And Suo Changsheng and Emmanuer are not serious people at first glance, but their eyes and bearing, the kind of cold temperament they exude, are the military masters who are charging into battle, and they are a little afraid when they look at it, so they can't comment.
Since he participated in the banquet, and it was his father-in-law's family banquet, it was normal to bring some female dependents, but whether it was Zhen Mi or Qin Liangyu, they were both upright, heroic, and not weak in martial arts at a glance, nor were they those weak women who were lying on their stomachs.
In this way, after Li Mi's introduction, the officers had no prejudices, and Li Mi talked about the army on paper all day long, but he participated in the military exercises in the Chu Palace.
Li Mi even participated in the martial arts examination of Governor Mo Hengluan, and he knew some details most clearly, so the atmosphere of conversation at the banquet was also very harmonious.
These officers were just to cheer for Wu Weizhong's righteous son, who knew that the more they chatted, the more they were surprised, and they were gradually attracted by a few young people, and the banquet was also very lively.
Especially Xiong Tingbi, he did not have a sense of shallowness on paper, but put forward a lot of new insights into the current situation.
In the second half of the meal, most of them were mainly small talk, Wu Weizhong sat with Qi Chu and Li Mi, Li Mi briefly said everything that happened during this time, and Wu Weizhong also felt a little emotional.
When asked about the latest situation, Li Mi did not hide it, and told everything that happened in the palace, after all, Wu Weizhong and Qi Chu are their own family, and Li Mi does not need to hide it.
Although Wu Weizhong is in a high position, after all, he is one of the few in the Qi family's army that can stay until now, and the imperial court is somewhat wary of him, otherwise this time he will not be just a deputy commander-in-chief.
Coupled with Wu Weizhong's military status, he couldn't get closer to the officialdom, and he couldn't grasp the emperor's thoughts, so he couldn't give Li Mi valuable advice.
As for Qi Chu, needless to say, he has been on a desert island for more than ten years, isolated from the world, and it is impossible to give Li Mi any advice.
Li Mi didn't worry too much about this problem, but told Wu Weizhong about the *.
Wu Weizhong, who is the chief soldier of the preparation army, was also shocked after learning the news, if there is such a thing, where is he afraid of war!
Li Mi can not have an official position, and he can not have the identity of a secret agent, but this* must be fought for!
When Li Mi came out of the palace, Wang An returned the bag* to him, and Hengzhu had already finished the banquet, so Li Mi asked people to go back and take *, and demonstrated the power of * to Wu Weizhong and a group of others.
These officers were already amazed by these young people, and they thought that there was a successor to the Ming army, but after seeing Li Mi*, everyone was shocked!
As Wu Weizhong thought earlier, if he can really have such a *, Daming will be invincible in the world!
After all, this thing was only shown to the emperor, so Li Mi also asked Wu Weizhong to tell him not to leak the news, otherwise it would cause death.
Everyone can see the power of the *, naturally save this truth, where dare to talk nonsense everywhere, they all around Li Midong to ask questions, eager to be able to use * as soon as possible to develop a new type of firearms.
However, the power of this * is so huge, the old artillery can no longer bear it, and if the new * is used on the old artillery, it will inevitably explode, so it is necessary to develop a new durable artillery, which is not something that can be completed in three days, five days, or even a year and a half.
Although everyone was excited, it was still necessary to keep it a secret in the end, although with the experience of the last time, Li Mi deliberately reduced the dosage, but the movement of the test was still not small.
In order to cover up, everyone simply competed in the courtyard for martial arts!
Wu Weizhong has no bad breeds under his hands, one or two are blood-stained battlefield generals, and they don't look down on Li Mi and others.
But when Li Mi took a stand, the fierce generals no longer dared to underestimate these young people!
Don't mention anything else, just talking about Qin Liangyu and Zhen Mi, the murderous aura that spreads out for a while is enough to make these officers feel like they are facing a great enemy!
Especially Qin Liangyu, with a shot in hand, even Wu Weizhong can't resist it!
Before they did it, many officers just had the mentality of playing with children, thinking that these were just fists and embroidered legs, but after they did it, they found out that they were very wrong!
Needless to say, Zhao Guangling's family history is extremely profound, although it is a little complicated, but the core is marksmanship after all, especially the Yang family's marksmanship from the Song Dynasty, which is even more amazing.
The Yang family gun is not the marksmanship of the Yang generals, but the marksmanship of the heroine Yang Miaozhen in the Song Dynasty, Qi Jiguang learned this marksmanship from the ancient gun spectrum, and after simplification and improvement, it was implemented in the Qi family army, and then other armies began to follow suit.
Wu Weizhong is one of the few descendants of the Qi family's army, and Qi Chu is also a descendant, they thought that their Yang family gun was authentic enough, but they didn't expect that after Zhao Guangling showed it, they found that their marksmanship was not worth mentioning at all!
Although Xiong Tingbi does not have such a profound family heirloom, his archery skills are extraordinary, especially his ability to open a bow left and right, which is even more amazing!
At that time, the musket was more troublesome to use, the rate of fire was very low, and it took a lot of time to reload, even if the three-stage attack was used, it could only make up for it.
With these two jewels in front of him, Li Mi was a little low-key, but in order to cover up the explosion of Shicai, Li Mi took a musket to audition, which shocked the officers present again, because they couldn't have imagined that Li Mi's marksmanship was so accurate!
Although the accuracy of the musket was not high at that time, and the firing range was not far, because it was in the mansion, the target could not be set too far, and the requirements for short-distance shooting for these muskets were not so high, and Li Mi's marksmanship was even more amazing!
This drinking and talking is inevitably suspicious of talking on paper, but now that they have moved seriously, these young people have not lost a penny!
Earlier, they felt that Li Mi didn't know what to do because Li Mi brought this group of people, and they embarrassed Wu Weizhong.
Looking at it now, I only feel that Li Mi simply went out with a group of baby bumps!
And when they finally found out that they couldn't even win against a woman like Qin Liangyu, they knew that Li Mi's group of people were freaks!
For literati, perhaps a wine banquet or a poetry meeting can meet friends with literature, but for martial artists, what is more joyful than not fighting and not knowing each other?
After this commotion, everyone returned to the banquet hall, and at this time, the servants of the General's Mansion had already reorganized their cups and changed to light food, and everyone was in the ascendant, and there was another bustle.
At this time, a report came from outside: "General, Fan Rongkuan, the secretary of the household department, and Fan Chongxian, the secretary of the household department, have come to visit." ”
When Wu Weizhong heard this, his face didn't look very good.
Li Mi also knew the origin of Wu Weizhong and Fan Rongkuan, and Wu Weizhong had formed a friendship with Fan Rongkuan in order to connect with the officials in the court, especially Fan Chongxian and Wu Baizhi had made a private lifelong agreement, and the relationship between the two families was even closer.
Although Fan Rongkuan is narrow-minded, his methods in officialdom are really powerful, and now he has become a book, and he is also a household department in charge of money and food, which shows how much the emperor attaches importance to him.
He was originally the political envoy of the Zhejiang Chengxuan Political Division, and his duty was to be in charge of the overall situation, especially money and food, and Zhu Yijun was a money-loving person, plus Fan Rongkuan got Zhou Yu's recommendation, and he became the head of the household.
This time, he also has a heart, and when he saw Wu Weizhong coming back, he came to visit, according to the rules of the official, he is more noble than Wu Weizhong, and he can come to visit, which is already enough to give face.
However, insiders know that Wu Weizhong is the chief soldier of the preparation of the Japanese army, and he has great authority at the moment, and in the process of preparation, the household department is also the main yamen, and there is a lot of oil and water to be fished in, and everyone wants to have a good relationship with a general military officer like Wu Weizhong, and he is even more so.
Horizontal and vertical are also unprofitable, and it is no wonder that Wu Weizhong frowned.
However, the people had already come, and there was no reason to send them back, so Wu Weizhong said to everyone: "You play first, and the old man will go out to greet him." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Rongkuan's hearty laughter came from outside, and then he and his son Fan Chongxian walked in with a smile on their faces and a radiant face.
"Don't you dare to bother General Wu, my father and son will also be uninvited guests who don't come in person today, hahaha!"
After all, it is the work of the official, and Wu Weizhong can only laugh and say: "Lord Fan deigned to visit, and I am really sorry that I missed the distance." ”
Fan Rongkuan came forward to greet Wu Weizhong, his face was full of unconcern, but Fan Chongxian, who was beside him, saw Li Mi at a glance, and there was inevitably some anger in his eyes, and he seemed to have a grudge against Li Mi.
In fact, the grievances and grievances between the two have not been long, and Li Mi has long been at ease, but it is obvious that Fan Chongxian and his father will compete with each other, and they will repay it, which is impossible to let go, but I don't know what ugly things will happen today!
