As he spoke, the white pole soldiers had come closer, and only stopped thirty paces away, and the demonstration was generally in formation.

I saw that although these Sichuan soldiers were not tall, they were all in high spirits, with sharp expressions, and a sense of not being angry and arrogant. In particular, the white-pole spear in their hands, which was nearly three feet long, pierced straight into the sky, forming a dense forest, and the trees in this forest seemed to fall down at any moment, crushing people into powder.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen felt that although the opposite side was a friendly army, he could not show weakness, so he also ordered loudly: "Brothers, take out some spirit and show our military appearance to the other side!" ”

Huang Degong and Meng Hong, who temporarily led the army on behalf of Ji Qingwen, were still ignorant when they heard this order, but Yang Zhan was an old military officer, and immediately understood Ji Qingwen's intentions.

I saw that the size of these 1,000 "Ming Wu Army" soldiers was more than a head taller than the Sichuan army on the opposite side, with two or three feet long swords straddling their waists, carrying firearms imported from the West on their backs, and half of the soldiers were equipped with wolf wives, shields and other weapons according to the division of labor, and what they wore was a light armor made of chain mail and scale armor.

These soldiers of the "Ming Wu Army" are more elite and good at fighting than those Sichuan Tusi soldiers and horses on the other side, and they show a kind of local tyrant atmosphere that cannot be concealed - after all, just to buy such a complete set of equipment, it will cost at least more than a hundred taels of silver!

And the three flags on their heads are even more eye-catching: one is the imperial battle flag with the three big characters of "Ming Wu Army" embroidered with bright yellow silk as the base and scarlet silk thread; The other two sides are on a pure white background, embroidered with "Qi" and "Ji" two big gold.

Whether it is materials, design, or workmanship, these three battle flags all reflect the most essential craftsmanship of Suzhou weaving yamen, fluttering under the red sun, which is even more dazzling.

With Ji Qingwen's 1,000 "Ming Wu Army" in charge, Liu Kongzhao, Han Zanzhou and other adults are naturally full of style, and they are more confident, standing in front of the team with their heads held high, and watching the actions of the opposite side.

But seeing that the formation of the Sichuan army suddenly separated to the left and right, a person calmly walked out of it, pressed the sword on his waist, and said to everyone: "The last general Qin Xiangzhen, which soldier's horse is this?" How dare you play the banner of the word 'Qi'? ”

It's actually a female general, and she's no more than twenty years old!

Everyone listened to his words and watched his deeds, and they were all shocked.

But I heard the female general named "Qin Xiangzhen" ask again: "Are you all deaf?" Didn't hear me ask, whose soldiers and horses are these? Dare to play the banner of 'Qi'? ”

Although she asked about the "Ming Wu Army", the highest military commander present was Liu Kongzhao, and he should have answered as usual.

I saw that this first-class sincere uncle took a step forward and arched his hand: "This general's surname is 'Qin', I don't know if he is related to General Qin Zhensu (Qin Liangyu's character)?" ”

Qin Xiangzhen looked directly at Liu Kongzhao without timidity and replied, "That's my mother." Let me ask you, is it the banner of 'Qi' played by your army? ”

Liu Kongzhao was stunned for a moment, and did not answer Qin Xiangzhen's question, but asked, "That's not right." I remember that General Qin was married to General Ma Qiancheng, and several of General Qin's sons were also surnamed Ma. But this general doesn't know why his surname is Qin? ”

Qin Xiangzhen raised his eyes and said, "You still have some knowledge, but unfortunately your knowledge is limited." Don't you know? My dad came from a wealthy background, and my brothers and mothers didn't like it, so I didn't let them have the surname Qin. How? Does my family's affairs concern you? Let me ask you, is it the 'Qi' banner you played? Why haven't you replied to me yet? ”

This Liu Kongzhao is also a well-known figure in Jiangnan, and he was forced to ask by such a little girl several times in a row, no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't collapse a little, and immediately put on an official stand, and said: "This general, under is Liu Kongzhao, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, the hereditary sincerity uncle. Can the girl speak politely? ”

Qin Xiangzhen didn't give Liu Kongzhao face at all, raised his head and said, "I haven't heard of any of your names. Let me ask you, did you type the banner of the word 'Qi' in the back? ”

No.

The "Ming Wu Army" under the banner of "Qi" was not the army under Liu Kongzhao, but the private soldiers of his opponent Ji Qingwen. This made Liu Kongzhao hold his breath, but he was unwilling to answer Qin Xiangzhen's question head-on.

I only heard him extend the topic again, and asked: "Xiaguan has a long future and is unknown, this girl doesn't know that I should too." However, the ancestor of the next is Liu Bowen, the founding military division of the Ming Dynasty, the girl should have heard of it, right? ”

Qin Xiangzhen was also a little surprised when he heard that this unsurprising guy in front of him was actually Liu Bowen's descendant, but he had an idea and said, "Liu Bowen? Or a military advisor? I haven't heard of it, I've only heard of Zhuge Liang in the military division, is Liu Bowen as good as Zhuge Liang? ”

Ji Qingwen, who was standing behind Liu Kongzhao, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this.

Although Liu Bowen is powerful, he can only claim to be the reincarnation of Kong Ming, so naturally he is not as powerful as Zhuge Liang. This is a well-known fact in the world.

Even Liu Kongzhao, the descendant of Liu Bowen, did not dare to deny it, so he had to say: "Zhuge Wuhou Yunwen Yunwu, my ancestors are naturally incomparable." But after Kong Ming, except for the old lord Liu Bowen, I'm afraid there will be no second person......"

There was already a lot of room for words, but unexpectedly, Qin Xiangzhen replied politely: "I see." Let me tell you, we Shu people only know Zhuge Liang, and we don't know what Liu Bowen is! ”

Although this is overbearing, it is very pertinent.

Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister of Shu Han, made great contributions to the development of Sichuan by the Central Plains civilization, although he was only in a corner, he governed Sichuan to the peak of the Central Plains Dynasty. Therefore, not to mention the end of the Ming Dynasty, even in the 21st century, Sichuan people still worship Zhuge Liang as an idol and a god.

Because of this, her words blocked Liu Kongzhao's full stomach tightly, making this dignified and sincere count blush like a pig's liver dripping with blood.

Ji Qingwen on the side listened to it very happily.

He had just been angry with Liu Kongzhao, and the words of this girl named Qin Xiangzhen to bury Liu Kongzhao seemed to be angry for herself, which made Ji Qingwen feel comfortable.

So Ji Qingwen took a step forward, arched his hand and said, "This girl, didn't you just ask, who played the 'Qi' banner?" It's not someone else, it's me. ”

Qin Xiangzhen glanced up and down at Ji Qingwen, who was not tall and mediocre in appearance, and said sideways: "You? Why do you use the banner of 'Qi'? Is your surname 'Qi'? ”

"Nope." Ji Qingwen smiled and pointed to the other flag behind him, and said, "Below is the Suzhou Weaving Admiral, and the one called Ji Qingwen is." Under the surname 'Ji', so there is another flag, and the word 'Ji' is written......"

"Oh? Ji Qingwen? You are Suzhou Weaving Admiral Ji Qingwen? Qin Xiangzhen asked.

Ji Qingwen didn't expect that such a little girl from Sichuan, who didn't know Liu Kongzhao, a sincere uncle, had actually heard of her name.

So he asked, with a little pride, "What?" Does this girl recognize me? ”

Qin Xiangzhen said: "I don't recognize, I've heard of your name." The brocade produced by the Suzhou weaving yamen under your command is very good, we occasionally buy more than a dozen or twenty horses, send them to Burma and Siam, and sell them out in a blink of an eye, each time there are several times the profit, and the buyers are all the princes and ministers there, and the money is refreshing! ”

These few words came to Ji Qingwen's business, and he couldn't help but ask more: "Princes and ministers?" Then won't the king buy it? ”

Qin Xiangzhen said: "Every time they pay tribute, the Ming Emperor will give them brocade, they can use it without spending money, so why pay for it?" ”

"I see." Ji Qingwen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "It turns out that a large part of the colorful brocade I paid tribute to the emperor was given to the subject country as a national gift. This is really for the sake of face, losing the inside, and in the eyes of businessmen, it can be regarded as a loss-making transaction. ”
