Zu Dashou and Man Gui discussed some details, and the wine was eaten until the end of the afternoon, and when he returned to the ancestral family's residence in Shanhaiguan in a sedan chair, the wine in his eyes was gone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A few cangs guarded the gate, and when they saw the head of the house coming back, they all jumped up and bowed, Zu Dashou's rock-like face was expressionless, but he glanced at it, and saw that the backs of the barns were straight, and then he turned his gaze back.

The ancestral family has now made up its mind to forge ahead with strength, and Zu Dashou is very strict with his brothers and nephews, including his family, and the strength of the ancestral family is also slowly improving.

The courtyard outside is very large, there are also many weapons, more than 100 family members from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan with Zu Dashou are practicing hard, they are all very strong men, between 20 and 30 years old, some old qualified family members are only more than 40 years old, and the oldest is to withdraw from the family team, or become a small officer of the army led by Zu Dashou, or go to the ancestral manor to manage the village for the elderly.

Once they become a family member, most people will choose to change their surname, they will become a part of the ancestral family, and the ancestral family will depend on each other, one will be prosperous and one will be lost, and martial arts are the capital of their meals, and no one dares to relax and slack.

Zu Dashou got off the sedan chair, looked at it in the courtyard for a while, and saw that the family members practiced very hard, the weather was already hot, the sun was the hottest in the afternoon, and people would sweat even if they didn't move, and the family members were sweating profusely, constantly training the skills of swords and cards and immediate assassination, and some people were practicing physical fitness, everyone was shirtless, the tendons on the body were very strong, sweating, and the physique of the family members was too strong compared to the ordinary men of the Ming Dynasty.

Zu Dashou's eyes also looked at his sons and nephews, Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zesheng, Zu Zepei, Zu Zefa...... These are the young generation of the ancestral family, some are the sons of Zu Dashou, and there are also Zu Dale or Zu Dacheng, the sons of Zu Dabi, they follow the family to practice martial arts, and almost everyone has to practice more intelligent martial arts than the family Ding, which is a qualified ancestral son.

Because of the ruin of Ningyuan before, most of the ancestral family and their children and nephews moved to Shanhaiguan, and with the restoration of Ningyuan City, these people will also follow Zu Dashou to Ningyuan, or even to Jinzhou.

More than 200 years ago, the small officer Zu Qing followed the Ming Hongwu Emperor to fight in the south and the north, and finally became the hereditary Ning Yuanwei officer, since then rooted in Liaoxi, and gradually became one of the most prominent families in Liaoxi.

In the corner of the courtyard, a teenager is dancing with a spear, although he is not very old, but this young man has a lot of rules with a gun, picking stabs and smashing and other actions are done in a good way, Zu Dashou just saw the family and his nephew training and was indifferent, when he saw that this young man practiced guns quite methodically, his face that had been flat showed an obvious smile.

The professor is a guerrilla officer with a guerrilla rank, and he is also from the ancestral family, named Zu Kuan, because he is good at leading troops, and through Mongolia, there are a lot of Tartars who run over from outside the pass, and after hard training, the riding and archery skills are much stronger than those of the ordinary Ming army, Zu Kuan has accumulated merit to guerrillas, and it is estimated that after Zu Dashou to the deputy general or general soldier, Zu Kuan is at least a deputy general soldier's future.

Because there is nothing to do, and because I know that Zu Dashou loves the young man in front of him the most, Zu Kuan personally came to teach the young man gun skills, and this young man is also very competitive, worthy of being a well-known young general from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, when it comes to military books, you can talk eloquently, and the growth of martial arts is also very fast, to be fair, the family style of the ancestral family is quite strict, and the training of children and nephews is not under the family.

"I've seen my uncle."

Zu Kuan saw Zu Dashou coming, and hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, and the young man who had been practicing hard also got this gap, and ran over to greet Zu Dashou with a happy face.

"Sangui, you practiced very well." Zu Dashou said: "But it's also taught by your eldest brother Zu Kuan, if he is not here, you have to continue to practice hard." ”

Zu Kuan said with a smile: "The master led the door, and the cultivation is personal." Brother Sangui is a good seedling, I am not afraid that you will be angry, and I am afraid that my achievements will be higher than you in the future. ”

Zu Dashou didn't mean to be annoyed, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that he is not as good as me, and one generation is stronger than the next!" ”

"Sangui" is the famous Wu Sangui in later generations, at this time is a teenager in his early tens, much taller than his peers, his face is very handsome, and even some boys and girls are fair-skinned, handsome faces, so that people will be impressed at a glance, and it is rare that the temperament and expression are with a little masculine and decisive spirit, so although he is only a teenager in his early tens, but because of the relationship between his uncle and his ancestors, he was widely praised by various generals in western Liaoning, and his reputation is not small.

Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang was born in the middle and back of the Jiangmen family, the ancestor is a Yangzhou businessman, Wu Xiang also did some businessman things in his youth, and later because of the riding and archery kung fu also went, he was admitted to the Wu Jinshi, and married the ancestral family, married the sister of Zu Dashou, there is Zu Dashou's thick thighs to hold, Wu Xiang is dedicated to the development of the army.

Wu Sangui admired his uncle very much, and was about to pester Zu Dashou to speak, but when he saw his father Wu Xiang coming over in a hurry, he honestly stood aside with his hands down.

"The two rings are here," Zu Dashou said, "It just so happens that I have something to look for you." ”

Wu Xiang arched his hand and smiled: "I also have something to find my brother." ”

Wu Xiang has an excellent demeanor, and his tongue is given, he is a handsome guy who people like very much at first glance, wearing a martial arts robe on his body, neat and firm, giving people an excellent look.

Zu Dashou looked at it and said with a smile: "Two rings, this dress is made of imitation of He Yusheng's guards, right?" ”

Wu Xiang is a person with a delicate heart, and when he heard it, he said, "What, isn't it appropriate?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with the clothes." Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang walked into the room before saying: "He Yusheng's robe is beautiful, I am tempted to see it, but it costs a lot of silver to change clothes, and I am reluctant to think about it." It's wrong with Yusheng. ”

Zu Dashou told him about the matter in the superintendent's yamen and the secret conversation with Man Gui, and finally shook his head and said: "Zhang Wenlan, I have been paying attention to him recently, he is a powerful person, he started at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and now he has created such a big situation in less than six years, and even the factory ministers appreciate him very much." However, I also heard that Zhang Han and the factory ministers did not form an alliance as imagined, and the last time Wang Xinyi's incident should be regarded as using each other, it is nothing more than that the factory ministers want to take the opportunity to fight Donglin, and Zhang Han is spending money to buy peace. After that incident, Zhang Han was a blessing in disguise, and the emperor also appreciated him and gave him a second-grade martial arts, but no matter how much the emperor appreciated it, he had no way to fight with Mr. Sun. ”

Wu Xiang was surprised: "What does Zhang Wenlan think, he actually has twists and turns at this moment, how can our generals write at will to talk about military affairs, just this Mr. Sun can cure his crimes." ”

Zu Dashou said: "He is a businessman, and his ancestor is a descendant of Fengpan Gong, the first and second minister, and he may see himself as different from ordinary martial artists." ”

"That's right." Wu Xiang was a little stunned, and then said: "I am looking for my brother to talk about He Yusheng." You know that I have been dealing with them a little, and today he Yusheng's branch director in Shanhaiguan came to me, saying that their early chariot and horse team was about to arrive, and they planned to go straight to Ningyuan, and wanted our help and cooperation. ”

"This moment ......" Zu Dashou hesitated and hesitated.

"Brother," Wu Xiang was entrusted by others, of course, he didn't want to fail, and said at the moment: "Sun Gebu didn't explicitly prohibit He Yusheng from coming here, he actually still hoped that Zhang Han's convoy could come." Since there is really a team with Yusheng, no matter how much it is, it can always play a role, the role is small, and the emotional credit is small, and these have nothing to do with us. However, the elder brother was ordered to rescue the Thirteen Mountains, this matter can be heard by heaven, the previous few major battles, especially the defeat of Shaling, the government and the opposition did not think of the elder brother, and even many people attacked the elder brother as a fleeing general. This time, there must be no more faults. ”

Zu Dashou's face was expressionless, but when Wu Xiang talked about the evaluation of him by the government and the opposition, Zu Dashou's stone-like face writhed. As a martial artist, of course Zu Dashou didn't want to defeat the battle, but he understood better that if the strength was not there, the life was not there, so there was no need to talk about anything.

Wang Huazhen is a fool, Zu Dashou 111,000 can't look down on him, and now the person in charge of Liaodong is Sun Chengzong, and the emperor is the superintendent, Zu Dashou still wants to make a contribution under Sun Chengzong's nose.

People say that Zu Dashou will definitely be able to be the general soldier in the future, in fact, his status is not below the ordinary general soldier, at least the strength of the general army in the northwest transferred by the imperial court is far inferior to him, and Ma Shilong, the general soldier of Liaozhen, there are not a few families at hand, and the real strength is far below Zu Dashou and the ancestral family, but the higher this expectation is, the greater the pressure Zu Dashou feels.

There are indeed many outstanding figures in the ancestral family's generation, Zu Dabi is also a very good general, as well as Zu Dale and others, if Zu Dashou, the contemporary head of the ancestral family, can never step on the position of the general soldier, but the rest of the brothers and nephews are the first to go to the deputy general or the general soldier, where will Zu Dashou's face go?

In the hundreds of years of history of Liaoxi Jiangmen, this is not the first time such a thing has happened.

"Okay." Zu Dashou instantly made up his mind, he said: "But you have to be careful about the two rings, don't get a group of liars and big talkers to Ningyuan, not only did not help at that time, but made our ancestral family a laughing stock." ”

"Brother, rest assured." Wu Xiang laughed: "I want to blow the conch in front of someone in my Wu, such a person has not been born yet." ”
