The combat power of the Qi family army was terrifying, and Qi Yin's description simply refreshed Zhang Bin's cognition of the Qi family army.

It turned out that the rumors of the Qi family army were not exaggerated, on the contrary, the rumors were still a bit conservative, and the combat power of the Qi family army was even more terrifying than the rumors.

If tens of thousands of Qi family troops can be trained, then what is the peasant rebel army, and what is Houjin!

Zhang Bin can't wait to start training, in the troubled times, nothing is safe, only by holding the military power can he control his own destiny.

Now, although he doesn't have a single soldier in his hands, his father Zhang Chengde has it, if he can train the thousands of guards of the Dajin Institute, it will be quite terrifying combat power.

Taking advantage of Qi Yin's conversation, Zhang Bin asked directly: "Old General Qi, if you want to train a thousand Qi family troops, how much silver will it cost to equip weapons?" ”

Qi Yin asked without thinking: "Then it depends on what you want to use it for, do you want to fight pirates, or do you want to fight Houjin?" ”

Houjin, it's still a little far away, Zhang Bin thought about it and replied: "In the early stage, just be able to fight pirates." ”

Qi Yin said without hesitation: "That doesn't cost much silver, just now you also saw it, it is enough to deal with pirates with wolf stalks, spears, Qi family knives, rattan shields and wooden shields, of course, I am talking about land warfare, if it is a naval battle, then you also need warships, artillery, bows and arrows and other weapons." ”

Battleships or something, Dajin has ready-made ones, Zhang Bin said directly: "Let's fight on land, equip a thousand people, how much silver does it cost?" ”

Qi Yin folded his fingers and calculated: "Wolf stalks, spears, rattan shields and wooden shields can be made by themselves, just order a few hundred spear heads, fifty taels is enough, Qi family knives, short knives need about two hundred, count two hundred taels of silver, flat knives need about one hundred, count one hundred and fifty taels of silver, long knives depend on how many generals you have." ”

The long knife is the Royal Forest Saber, what Dajin has, but there is no need to do it again, Zhang Bin continued to ask: "Didn't you just say that you also need to be equipped with a short blade and a throwing gun?" ”

Qi Yin shook his head and said: "To deal with ordinary pirates, you don't need short blades and throwing guns, if you want to match, five hundred short blades will not use a hundred taels of silver, and a thousand throwing guns will also use less than a hundred taels of silver." ”

A total of only four hundred and fifty taels, Zhang Bin asked again: "Can you all make these?" ”

Qi Yin nodded and said, "Of course, we can't build these most basic weapons, so can it still be called Qijiabao?" ”

Zhang Bin immediately clapped his hand and said: "Okay, I'll give a thousand taels of silver, can you help me take turns to practice the guards of the Dajin Institute?" ”

Qi Yin immediately shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that if Wei Zhongxian doesn't step down, you won't invite us to go out of the mountain to train the army?" ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly explained: "You don't need to go out of the mountain, I'll let them come to Qijiabao to practice, what do you think?" Anyway, you have to practice on a regular basis, just bring them on by the way. ”

Qi Yin looked around, and wondered: "It's not much of a problem if they come over, but you have also seen this school field, at most ten squads and a thousand people are trained at the same time, and they can't be squeezed here, besides, they are guards, how can they leave their posts without permission?" Also, from Fujian to here, there are thousands of miles here, and I don't know how many states and counties they have to pass through in the middle, and when they encounter more serious inspections, they will be in trouble. ”

Just agree, Zhang Bin said excitedly: "I will let them come in batches, ten teams at a time, in turns, as for how to come, you don't have to worry about it." ”

About how more than 100 Tunwei came to Jinling through the state and county, in fact, it is very simple, Dongshengtang is not here to buy goods, it is not a problem to get together hundreds of truckloads of goods a month, originally his fourth brother Zhang Jun was going to ask someone to transport it on his behalf, but now, he can directly let the Tunwei of Dajin Institute to transport it.

In this way, not only can you go back to the freight from here, but also the specialties of Fujian, and even the goods from overseas in Yuegang are transported to Jinling to sell, and then let the guards pretend to be coolies with carts, anyway, the merchants are registered, and when the goods are transported, people will check the road guide of the merchant at most, and it is impossible to even all the coolies need the road guide, if all the coolies need the road guide, the local county order to open the road guide will be opened to the hand cramps.

Zhang Bin and Qi Yin discussed while drinking, and soon settled the matter, after the Dajin Institute sent one hundred and twenty guards to practice every month, Zhang Bin contributed one thousand taels of silver, and Qi Jiabao was responsible for equipping them with the weapons needed for the mandarin duck array, and the food expenses were calculated separately.

After the discussion, the two sides drank happily again, this meal, from noon to Shenshi, everyone drank almost enough, Qi Yin simply ordered someone to arrange a room for Zhang Bin and others, so that they could rest for a night.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhang Bin took Xie Zhenggang and others on the return journey.

Looking at the backs of Zhang Bin and the others, Qi Yuangong couldn't help asking, "Uncle, didn't you say that literati are shameless people and can't easily believe their words?" ”

Qi Yin sighed and said: "Alas, there is no way, now this world is like this, the literati are in power, if we want to continue the Qi family's army, we must choose a reliable minister to be dependent, just like the original uncle Zhongyi Gong, if it is not attached to the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, where can the uncle break into a great prestige." ”

Qi Yin is still prejudiced against literati, in fact, Zhang Juzheng is far more than the only one who gave Qi Jiguang support, Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, Liang Menglong, as well as university scholars Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others gave Qi Jiguang great support during the period from the southeast anti-Japanese war to Jizhou, Beizhen.

Of course, it is undeniable that Zhang Juzheng is the one who spares no effort, and he often transfers those officials who oppose Qi Jiguang, or even dismisses them, so Qi Jiguang can give full play to his strengths and shock the world.

Qi Yuangong didn't care about these, he was dumbfounded: "Are you saying that this Zhang Bin is comparable to Zhang Juzheng, the Duke of Wenzhong!" ”

Qi Yin didn't answer and asked, "Can you tell how old he is?" ”

Qi Yuangong thought for a while and guessed: "It should be similar to me, at most twenty-four or five." ”

Qi Yin said leisurely: "Yes, he is only twenty-four or five, and when Wen Zhonggong was twenty-four or five, he was just a concubine, and he had never been an official, but he had been a county commander for three years, and he had a great plan, and he was promoted to three levels in a row, and became a member of the Ministry of War. This son has a bright future, if he is lucky, it is not impossible to surpass Wen Zhonggong! ”

Qi Yuangong asked puzzledly: "Uncle, this three-level promotion may be Mingsheng's actual descent, wasn't he demoted to Jinling to retire?" ”

Qi Yin said wisely: "Look at his vigorous appearance, where does he seem to be here to support the elderly, he should have come to Jinling to recuperate, ready to soar to the sky!" ”

At this time, even Qi Fanghua on the side couldn't help but doubt: "Soaring into the sky? Is this kid that powerful? ”

When Qi Yin heard this, his eyes rolled, and then he slapped his thigh, and said regretfully: "Oops, I forgot to ask him about something." ”

Qi Fanghua immediately said anxiously: "Dad, what's the matter, why don't I chase him back?" ”

Qi Yin shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I forgot to ask him if he is married, if he has never married, it is quite suitable to match my family's Xiao Fanghua, or you can catch up and ask." ”

Qi Fanghua was stunned when he heard this, and then, with a red face, he took a sip of his father, turned his head and ran away.

The three brothers Qi Yin and Qi Yuangong couldn't help laughing, this little aunt is usually a ghost, but this time she was finally fooled, it's not easy!
