Volume II, Chapter 19 The Chaos
Zhang Bin was a little embarrassed by the complaint of the young man in front of him.
No wonder the Qi family army disappeared after the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, they were cold.
Indeed, with their exploits, it is not too much to award a few earls or even marquises, but in the Qi family's army, whether it is Qi Jiguang himself or other generals, none of them have been rewarded with titles, no matter how great their military exploits are, even if they sacrifice their lives for the country, they can only get some meaningless rewards for their false duties!
It's not that they don't want to contribute to the country, it's just that this reality is too shocking.
During the period when Taizu became an ancestor, the generals who made contributions to the country could be added to the rank of knight, and in the Wanli Dynasty and the Tianqi Dynasty, they fought for the country for decades, and none of the generals who made countless contributions were knighted, but a eunuch, and all their relatives could be added to the knighthood just by serving the emperor, how unfair it was.
It seems that Wei Zhongxian's nephew is about to enter the Fengning Guogong, maybe the day Wei Liangqing enters the Fengning Guogong, it is the time when these loyal ministers and good generals are completely dead, and they have been working hard for decades, it is better to be a sycophant, who is willing to work hard!
People are dead and unwilling to go out of the mountain, what should I do?
Could it be that I just gave up, clamped my tail, and went home!
No, how can you give up easily, if this matter can't be solved, what else can you talk about saving Daming.
It seems that people have always been prejudiced against themselves, and to convince the tendon in front of them can only ease the relationship first, and then go to what he likes.
People regard themselves as representatives of shameless literati, how can this relationship be eased?
Of course, it is to find a way to make them think that they are like them, not some shameless literati, let alone eunuchs.
Zhang Bin is silent on the surface, but his mind is running wildly, how can he make this tendon think that he is the same kind of person as him?
By the way, fighting pirates, isn't the Qi family army just fighting pirates and starting from the pirates.
Thinking of this, Zhang Bin sighed and said: "Now it is indeed the eunuch party in charge, the dynasty is chaotic, I have outstanding political achievements in Pingyang, not to mention, last year the pirates went ashore to plunder, and I also personally led the villagers to repel the pirates, and was seriously injured for this, as a result, although this year's plan is talented, guarded, political, and year-old, but there is no opportunity to stay in Beijing to serve." ”
Young people are curious, and Qi Yuangong, the eldest young man of the Qi family in front of him, is no exception, he heard Zhang Bin say this, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ah, you are talented, guarded, political, and young are all first-class, and you were also sent to Jinling to support the elderly, this is too unusual, right?" ”
This guy, the point is not to come to Jinling, but to fight pirates, Zhang Bin pretended to be painful and shook his head: "Don't say this, I just want to tell you that I am not the kind of person who sits back and enjoys it, and I have also fought off pirates desperately." ”
When Qi Yuangong heard this, he looked him up and down, and said suspiciously: "Have you fought off pirates?" Blow it, just your little body, the pirates won't tear you apart? ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, he seemed to be humiliated, and he rolled up his sleeves frantically.
Of course, he didn't want to play with Qi Yuangong, he just exposed the arrow wound on his arm, held it up in front of Qi Yuangong, and said angrily: "Why do I want to brag, you see, this is what was shot by pirates at that time." ”
Qi Yuangong looked at his scar curiously, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was recalling something.
At this moment, an old man on crutches walked up with a crutch, he looked at the arrow wound on Zhang Bin's arm, and then nodded: "Yes, this is a pirate arrow injury." ”
When Qi Yuangong heard this, he immediately said in surprise: "Uncle, is it true?" ”
The old man nodded, "Of course it's true." ”
After that, he even rolled up his sleeves, revealing an arrow wound on his arm, which was placed together with Zhang Bin's arrow wound, and said excitedly: "Look, it's exactly the same." ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, he looked at the old man's arm, my God, the old man's arm has two arrow wounds alone, and there are four or five other scars!
There was an arrow wound that was similar to the one on his arm, and the appearance was exactly the same.
This old man is definitely a battle-hardened person, and he couldn't help but ask respectfully: "This old man, dare to ask which general of the Qi family army you are?" ”
When the old man heard this, he lowered his sleeves and shook his head painfully: "Old Qi Yin is just a member of the Qi family's army. ”
Qi Yin? I have never heard of such a general in the Qi family's army!
No, Qi Yin, Qi Yin, Qi Ying!
Zhang Bin was stunned and said, "Qi Shaobao is beheaded!" Could you be the eldest prince who was rumored to be beheaded by Qi Shaobao? ”
Qi Yin just shook his head in shame and didn't speak, but Qi Yuangong on the side was busy explaining: "That's all nonsense, what Qi Shaobao beheaded, my uncle didn't violate military regulations at the beginning, but the fighter didn't grasp it well, and it was a little early, at most it was a command error." However, in order to make up for his mistakes, the uncle tried his best to hunt down the escaped pirates, and suffered more than a dozen knife wounds and several arrows, so that the injuries were too serious to be cured. The ancestor of the family remembered that his uncle had a meritorious role in killing the enemy, forgave his uncle's mistake in command, and ordered his uncle to go home to support his old age. However, in order to avoid irresponsible remarks from others, the ancestor specially ordered that the Qi family's army should not mention his uncle's name again. ”
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder the people will misunderstand that Qi Jiguang beheaded the son, this Qi Yin was terrible at the beginning, Qi Jiguang himself led a thousand Qi family troops to feint defeat and lead the enemy, but Qi Yin led two thousand Qi family troops to set up an ambush, which is enough to prove that this Qi Yin was quite valued by Qi Jiguang at the beginning, and his status in the Qi family army even surpassed Qi Jin!
Unexpectedly, there is still such a general in the Qi family army hidden in this Qi family fort, it seems that the idea of training an invincible iron army by himself is expected to come true, Zhang Bin couldn't help but say excitedly: "Old General Qi, now the southeast pirates are becoming more and more rampant, and please ask your old man for the sake of the people of Li to help re-train a Qi family army, as long as you can train an invincible iron army, the matter of adding officials to the knighthood, I will try my best to fight for you." ”
When Qi Yin heard this, he looked at Qi Yuangong with a little reproach, and then shook his head and said: "This lord, don't listen to his nonsense, what reward is secondary, if we can really serve the country and the people, even if there is no reward, let us sacrifice our lives for the country." But now, where is what is for the country and the people? Like the original expedition to Korea, although the Qi family army suffered more than half of the casualties, it was worth it to win the battle and drive the Japanese outwards away. In the bloody battle of the Hunhe River a few years ago, I simply didn't know what to say, the good Liaodong Jinglu Xiong Tingbi was dismissed, and he forced Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong who did not know the soldiers, to command the battle, but the reinforcements were lost before they arrived in Shenyang! In the battle of Hunhe, how many Ming soldiers were killed in vain? Pity my Qi family's army in the last 3,000 men and horses, and my poor brother, who has fought for the country for more than 30 years, and finally ended up with ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, what is all this for? ”
As he spoke, the old man Qi Yin was already in tears.
Seeing this, Zhang Bin hurriedly comforted: "The old man mourns, the past is over." ”
When Qi Yin heard this, he wiped his tears, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The old decay has lost his temper, which makes the adults laugh." ”
Zhang Bin hurriedly shook his head and said: "General Qi has a temperament, what is not out of shape, the battle of Hunhe has passed, so don't worry too much about the old man." Now that the pirates in the southeast have resurged, and the gold in Liaodong is great, it is the time for us to serve the country, and I hope that the old man will help for the sake of hundreds of millions of Li people. ”
Unexpectedly, after he persuaded him for a long time, the old man Qi Yin still shook his head resolutely and said, "What else do you want to serve the country now?" I heard that Xiong Tingbi was taken down by the eunuchs after he was reinstated, and he was about to punish him at this time, and I don't know what crime he committed. and the emperor Sun Chengzong, who is proficient in the art of war, was also deposed, and replaced with a so-called Gao Di, such a blind command, unless he disobeys the military order, it is strange to be able to win the battle, no matter how many soldiers go up, it is just a waste of life, what country can be reported? ”
"This ......", Zhang Bin was speechless, and now this Chaogang is really a mess!
