Chapter 737: A word determines the heart of the army
Qin Lin was condescending, his cold gaze swept towards the group of Zhejiang soldiers, and sneered: "Where did a group of people called Huazi, bandits, bandits, and rabble come from, and they dare to kidnap the governor of this province!" It's really audacious, outrageous to the extreme, why don't you let Wu Zhongcheng go soon? β
With a bang, the Zhejiang soldiers were in an uproar, if it weren't for the excellent reputation of this Qin Qincha official in person, the case of the Sea Shark Club won the hearts of the people in Hangzhou, and they were afraid that they would immediately rush up and fight.
Wu Shanyan, who was kidnapped, suddenly screamed bitterly, I thought that Qin Shaobao was very wise, but I didn't expect it to be a straw bag, I, Wu, treated the Zhejiang soldiers toughly, and as a result, I stabbed the hornet's nest, so you can't soften your body? Hey, this official is still being held hostage, if they kill the hostages, my old life will be ruined in the hands of you Qin Shaobao!
In the inn in the distance, the masters of the White Lotus Sect were also quite surprised, the White Lotus Sect Master was wearing a silver mask, and he couldn't see the change in expression, and his deep voice was a little confused: "Qin Lin is scheming, he won't be so confused, could it be that he has a grudge against Wu Gouguan, and deliberately wants to provoke the Zhejiang soldiers to tear up the ticket and kill Wu Gouguan?" β
"Sect Leader Takami!" Gao Tianlong agreed: "That Qin Demon Boss didn't come early or late, he always hid in Qincha Xingyuan, but he didn't appear until Wu Gouguan was kidnapped, and he came to say such a sentence, which was obviously to ruin Wu Shanyan's dog life." β
"The sect leader thinks that although Qin Lin is a strong enemy of the sect, his loyalty to the imperial court is very limited!" The White Lotus Sect Master's unfathomable eyes, flashing with a strange brilliance, swirled around Qin Lin's body, and then lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Ai Kuchan frowned, and said strangely: "Qin Devil's words are fierce, and it is really easy to ask the Zhejiang soldiers to kill Wu Shanyan in anger, but once tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers are angry, how can he escape by himself?" β
That's not it, Qin Shaobao, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, finally appeared, but it was a reprimand with a split head and a face, tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers were disappointed and angry, and suddenly became excited, and shouted:
"What Qin Shaobao, it turns out that he is also protected by officials and officials!"
"We are the official army of the imperial court, and we have made countless military exploits, how can we say that we are bandits and bandits?"
"It's called Hanako? Does he know how much military pay the imperial court has? That money is similar to sending Hanako! β
Seeing that the chaos was imminent, Ma Wenying also felt that he could not restrain the brothers anymore, and sighed: "The world is as black as a crow, it turns out that Qin Shaobao is also an official guard, I'm afraid we have no other way to live......
Liu Tingyong glanced at him, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers, Brother Ma guards Wu Zhongcheng, I'll ask Qin Qincha, if he can't say that he is ugly, it's not too late for us to beat him again!" β
When the Zhejiang soldiers heard this, they really quieted down, everyone rolled up their sleeves, clenched their fists, and looked at Qin Lin angrily, anyway, the governor of this province has beaten him, and he still cares about beating more princes and less protection?
"Qin Shaobao," Liu Tingyong walked over, clasped his hands into fists and gave a military salute, and then said without being arrogant or humble: "Just now you said that we are called Huazi, but it is not false, this helmet is rusty, the gown is tattered, and it is not much different from calling Huazi, but is this what our brothers in the nine battalions are willing?" It's not that the equipment has been underpaid over the years, and the military salary has been discounted, so it has become like this! You have been famous for a long time, what is the reason for judging yin and yang, and your eyes are like electricity, but you only know how to reprimand us blindly when you come up? β
"That's right, judging yin and yang, not worthy of the name, blindly wronging us, what is the reason!" The Zhejiang soldiers shouted loudly, as the so-called injustice is loud.
"Not worthy of the name? I'm afraid it's all of you who don't live up to the name, right? Qin Lin smiled, not afraid of the tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers who were about to become chaotic, sat on horseback without moving, and said loudly: "The first time this official saw the demeanor of the Zhejiang soldiers, it was Deng Zilong and the old general Deng led the troops to quell the chaos and passed through Qizhou, only to see the army going up the river by boat, people like tigers, horses like dragons, the army is strict and neat, the army is strong, and it is worthy of being the first strong soldier of the Ming Dynasty!" β
Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know why Qin Lin suddenly mentioned this matter, but Deng Zilong once took charge of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command Department as the commander of the capital, and it was their old boss, and the soldiers who brought them to Xiangxi to quell the rebellion were also their brother Paoze, of course everyone was willing to listen.
There are many soldiers here who came back from the battlefield in Xiangxi, and when they heard Qin Lin mention the glorious past, they straightened their chests, felt the light on their faces, and proudly told their comrades-in-arms: "When General Deng passed through Qizhou, Qin Shaobao was just a small banner in brocade clothes, and he thwarted the plot of the White Lotus Sect to assassinate the old general, and made great contributions!" β
"Oh, it turned out that Qin Shaobao saved the old general's life!" The attitude of the Zhejiang soldiers has changed a lot, and they feel that Qin Lin is not so annoying.
Seeing this, Qin Lin became more and more confident, and said: "Later, this official met Mr. Xu Wenchang Xu and regarded him as a guest, and heard him talk about the glorious history of the Zhejiang soldiers many times. When the coastal people mentioned the nine battalions, who didn't give a thumbs up and praise the good men who protected the territory and the people? β
Zhejiang soldiers are recruited and trained by Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang, Xu Wenchang was the second real person in the shogunate of Hu Zongxian, and his status is higher than Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.
Xu Wenchang's bumpy experience has many similarities with the Zhejiang soldiers, which immediately aroused the resonance in their hearts: Why did the Zhejiang soldiers who protected the territory and the people back then, like Mr. Xu, fall into the embarrassing situation of not loving his grandmother and uncle?
Many people lowered their heads, some silently pondered, and some quietly wiped their bitter tears.
Liu Ting was quick to speak, and he was quite unconvinced to argue with Qin Lin: "Qin Shaobao, Mr. Xu is the mentor of our Zhejiang soldiers, and he has to be treated well by you, so we all have to thank you, but ......"
Qin Lin waved his hand, interrupted his words, and continued to talk to himself: "This official is in the Beijing Division, and he knows the chief soldier of Jizhen Qi Dashuai Qi Brother, he once transferred 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers to the north of Jizhen Gongwei Beijing Division. When the heavy rain was pouring down, the original soldiers of Jizhen avoided one after another, but the three thousand Zhejiang soldiers stood in the storm with their helmets and armor, and never moved from morning to night, so Qi Shuai's ability to govern the army and the strictness of the discipline of the Zhejiang soldiers shocked the nine sides at the same time! β
The Zhejiang soldiers only felt honored when they heard it, Qi Jiguang was the commander who trained them single-handedly, and the officers and soldiers who were transferred to Jizhen were also their comrades-in-arms who were shoulder to shoulder.
There are also many people who have been reminded by this, remembering that in the rumors, Qin Lin and their Qi Dashuai are like brothers, hearing him say this, it can be seen that the rumors are true, so they treat Qin Lin even more kindly.
Liu Ting said proudly: "The storm does not retreat, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood are not afraid, we can do it too!" β
Qin Lin suddenly asked like a cannon: "Really? The majestic Zhejiang soldiers under the command of General Deng, the Zhejiang soldiers who bravely killed the enemy in the mouth of Mr. Xu to protect the territory and the people, and the Zhejiang soldiers under the command of Marshal Qi who could not be blown away by the wind and the torrential rain, would be a group of rabble who poured out of the camp gate without orders, crowded into the streets of the provincial capital to make trouble, and beat the governor of the province with their fists? No, no, no, either you are not Zhejiang soldiers at all, or General Deng, Mr. Xu and Qi Dashuai are bragging to their own officials and pounding flowers, right? It must be like this, and I will be ashamed of them when I go back to my own officials! β
Liu Tingyong suddenly blushed, he is usually known for his flexible mind and convenient speech, but at this time, he actually opened his mouth and couldn't even say half a sentence.
The Zhejiang soldiers were also ashamed, Deng Zilong, Xu Wenchang, and Qi Jiguang loved the soldiers like sons, and treated them with deep kindness and righteousness.
"Let's just care about being happy for a while, I didn't expect to discredit Qi Shuai and General Deng......" The Zhejiang soldiers secretly regretted it.
Some people also shouted: "Qin Shaobao, Qi Shuai and General Deng didn't tell a lie, we, we are really Zhejiang soldiers, alas, ......"
"Are you really Zhejiang soldiers?" Qin Lin pretended to be surprised, and said extremely sadly: "You are the strong army known for their bravery, tenacity, and strict discipline? Weapons can be sharpened if they are blunt, coats can be sewn up when they are rotten, and military salaries can be reissued if they are in short supply, but they can casually walk out of the camp gate and run to the streets to make trouble without orders, is this still an army? No, it's a rabble, just a ruffian! β
Qin Lin's expression was serious, and wherever his gaze swept, the Zhejiang soldiers in that area lowered their heads in shame.
"No, we're not a rabble!" Ma Wenying, who was guarding Wu Shanyan, puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Brothers, let Qin Shaobao see that Qi Dashuai, General Deng and Mr. Xu are not bragging!" Arrayβ"
The family members quickly withdrew, and the tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers heard the order, and immediately ran in small steps to find their position, only to hear the sound of footsteps, on the small square outside the governor's yamen, the nearby streets and alleys, a moment later, there were military formations of different sizes, each military formation was neatly arranged.
Ma Wenying clasped her hands into fists and saluted: "Please Qin Shaobao review!" β
Tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers stood silently, only hearing the sound of breathing, everyone's eyes looked at Qin Lin, although there was no weapon in his hand, and the gown on his body was shabby, but the momentum of the world's strong army came to his face.
"This is a bit of an army," Qin Lin's expression turned peaceful, nodded slightly, and said: "The matter of military salaries, this official is in charge of you!" But in any case, you shouldn't kidnap and beat the governor of this province, this official is going to bring Wu Zhongcheng back now, who is not convinced, just come and beat this official! β
As he spoke, Qin Lin lifted the reins, and walked towards the lined up military formation according to the night jade lion tapping and tapping, his expression was calm, and he walked slowly from tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers, wherever he went, the Zhejiang military formation hugged his fists and shouted according to the salute of the Shangguan review, and at the same time retreated to both sides.
The army formation composed of tens of thousands of people was black and overwhelming, like a sea of people, but the waves were split where Qin Lin passed.
"Qin Lin has the heart of the Zhejiang soldiers, we can't fight with him," the White Lotus Sect Leader sighed depressedly, and his gaze towards Qin Lin was extremely "resentful".
