"Y-How do you know?" Qi Jin jumped up from his chair in shock and knocked his chopsticks to the ground.

"Where is this matter, Brother Qin is talking nonsense!" Qi Jiguang looked at Qi Jin's envoy vigorously, and smiled at Qin Linqiang again: "The old brother has a martial arts position, and his salary is not low, and he will not be poor like this." ”

Qin Lin patted the table: "Brother Qi, you will hide it!" Since you have a new official uniform and you also wore it when you were in Beijing, why didn't you wear it to pick up your younger brother? This is not to act in front of the officers and soldiers in the battalion, but because you have to ride a horse, and you are worried that the only set of official robes worn by the guests will wear out on the back of the horse, so you have to change it after returning to the camp!

Qi Jinxian's nephew eats a generous amount, when he ate roast duck at the Jingshi Cheap Shop, I saw that he had a good appetite, and now he is not sick, how can he face a table full of wine but can't eat? Because he thinks that you usually have coarse tea and light rice, but you want to save money for a treat, you have no appetite! ”

Qi Jiguang was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "My brother is really like lightning, he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from you." ”

Qi Jin lowered his head, his face flushed, and said sullenly: "Although my uncle's money is rich, the usual use in the camp is extremely reduced, save money to give gifts to the old men of Jingshi, and save money to compensate the orphans and widows left behind by the sacrificed soldiers." Meet the adults and gentlemen in Beijing, wear the old official uniform and others say that you are disrespectful, so you made a new set, wear a façade when visiting guests, usually eat more vegetarian and less meat, and only when you meet a distinguished guest to rectify the banquet ......"

Lu Yuanzhi froze on the spot, his smile completely froze on his face, he never thought that there was a person like Qi Jiguang in the world, he suffered hardships and suffered crimes without getting a clear name, no, even in Qingliu's opinion, he bribed and gave gifts, kowtowed everywhere, and was shameless, it was simply infamous, but he did not complain at all, as always, full of blood and sincerity!

So at this time, they all understood why Qi Jiguang was deeply loved by the soldiers and why he commanded the army like an arm, because he was working hard to cultivate this army, burning himself like a torch, illuminating the northern border of the Ming Dynasty!

"It's really true today, my nephew is ignorant and talking nonsense, which makes Brother Qin laugh......" Qi Jiguang smiled wryly and arched his hand towards Qin Lin.

Where can Qin Lin still laugh? Qi Shuai's painstaking loneliness made him admire, but after thinking about it, he slapped the table again: "Wrong, brother, you are wrong!" ”

What is wrong with Qi Jiguang? Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali were stunned, Qi Jin's face showed a slight anger, only Qi Jiguang himself was as smiling as always: "What the virtuous brother said must be good words, and the foolish brother listens to it." ”

Qin Lin Zhengse said: "Brother Qi, let me ask you, does Zhang Xiangye value the money you sent, or does he value your handsome talent, and borrow you to be the copper wall in the north of the Ming Dynasty, so as to create a peaceful environment for him to implement the new policy?"

Zeng Xingwu is young and strong, he has just become the secretary of the military department, and he is about to make great achievements, is he supporting you for your filial piety? Yes, Zeng Xingwu is not as clear as water, but when he recommended Liu Xian and other generals to quell the rebellion of the servants, was it because Liu Xian gave him the heaviest gift? ”

"What the virtuous brother said is reasonable," Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly, with a hint of helplessness: "But now the officialdom is talking about this Tao, if it is too simple and slow, others only say that you are a martial artist and arrogant, alas, the foolish brother is not as good as the virtuous brother......"

Qin Lin is a young man, and he is a saint, he is easy to maneuver between various forces, and he naturally acts without scruples; Qi Jiguang has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, with gray hair on his temples, and has been in the city for decades, and has witnessed Hu Zongxian, Zhu Kun, Zhang Jing, Lu Bo, Yu Dayou, these comrades-in-arms and colleagues, either unjustly imprisoned, or died depressed, how dare he not be cautious and careful, lest he make a mistake?

Qin Lin shook his head and said with a big bag: "You are right to listen to me, Zhang Xiangye and Zeng Shangshu don't need to send flashy things such as Dongzhu and mink, it is enough to send some local specialties, send goose feathers for thousands of miles, and the gift is light and affectionate!" Geng Dingli, the governor of Jiliao, will be exempted from the surname Suo, and the younger brother can make decisions for him in this matter. ”

Qi Jiguang hesitated slightly, he knew that Qin Lin had a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng and Zeng Xingwu, and Geng Dingli also vaguely mentioned Qin Lin's name in and out of his words, but ...... Lu Yuanzhi held back for a long time, and helped from the side: "Qi Shuai rest assured, the matter of the Xiangfu, my General Qin will definitely be able to do it, even if he says that Xiangye refuses to listen, and then ask Miss Zhang to grind, Xiangye will eventually admit it." ”

you, Qin Lin patted the fat man, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, in fact, I asked you not to give heavy gifts to Zhang Xiangye, but it is also for your own good, so as not to send out problems, but you are not a person inside and out." ”

Qi Jiguang was surprised, "I heard that if you don't give gifts and give fewer gifts to offend people, how can you give heavy gifts?" Please advise you. ”

"If you send it indiscriminately, although you please Zhang Xiangye, you will offend Xiangye's pillow person!" Qin Lin originally had a serious face, and when he said this, he couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh: "The orchid Aguli and Briya you gave to Xiangye are already very favored, if you spend a thousand dollars to buy a beauty to send it, Xiangye will naturally laugh and accept it, but the two of them will hate Brother Qi to death, when the time comes, blow the wind on the pillow and say bad things about you, the matter of spending money for nothing is small, and the matter of wearing small shoes is big!" ”

Qi Jiguang was secretly frightened when he heard this, and thought to himself that if Qin Lin hadn't broken it, it would inevitably be wrong in the future, so he hurriedly said solemnly: "What Brother Xian said is that in the future, Brother Foolish will only send some local products to Enxiang, and the daughter Meiji will never dare to send it again, as for Mr. Geng Er, the governor of Jiliao...... Hey, Brother Qin opened his mouth, what else is there to worry about? Do as you say! ”

That's right, Qin Lin turned his head with a smile and said to Qi Jin: "I'm afraid that these places won't save thousands of thousands of silver every year?" In addition to the cost of condolences to the orphans of the soldiers, you must make two new sets of official uniforms for your uncle, and every meal must have meat and vegetarian food. ”

"The last general obeys!" Qi Jin happily clasped his fists and saluted, and looked at Qi Jiguang triumphantly: Haha, if you play tricks again this time, uncle, my nephew, I will go to General Qin to complain!

"Still don't move your chopsticks?" Qin Lin pointed to the banquet: "The official is full, but there seems to be a person ......."

Ah, so many good dishes don't go to waste! Qi Jin hurriedly sat down and ate like a storm, and it could be seen that he was very happy.

After resting for a while after the meal, Qi Jiguang invited General Qin Lin to watch the performance.

Jizhen is a vital barrier in the north of the Beijing Division, Gubeikou, Xifengkou, Taolinkou, Shanhaiguan since ancient times for the soldiers to fight for the place, the north is the Mongolian iron cavalry galloping desert grassland, the east is the Jurchen roaring white mountains and black water, once the Tatars knock the pass, if you beat Jizhen, the North China Plain in the south is not dangerous to defend, the iron horse can go straight to the heart of the Ming Dynasty - Jingshi!

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty set up Jizhen in the north of the Beijing Division, and stationed heavy troops, once the captives invaded, the soldiers had to be bloody on the battlefield, and their usual training was more strict than other troops, and they were the elite of the border army of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang, Qin Lin, and others went to the general's platform, and ordered the Chinese officers to beat the drums, and in an instant, the generals, guerrillas, battalion officers, and promotion officers who led the troops for training shouted trumpets, gathered the soldiers who had scattered for training, and rushed to the generals one by one.

I saw that on the martial arts arena within a radius of dozens of miles, in front of the general platform, large and small squares were neatly arranged, musketeers carried bird guns and hand cannons, and occasionally several phalanxes had been replaced with electric guns and thunder guns, cavalrymen carried hammer-like three-eyed guns, waist horizontal sabers, chariot battalions drove horses and side vans, all kinds of firearms were set up on the carts, and the artillery was driving horses, dragging the general cannons and Franc machines...... There are also many sword players and pikemen, the iron armor friction is sonorous, the long knife is better than the snow, the spear is like a forest, and the officers at the head of the phalanx hold a flag of different sizes, hunting and flying in the north wind.

If there are more than 1,000 people, it will be very imposing, once it is full of 10,000, there will be a feeling of a sea of people, Qin Lin looked at it only to see the black pressed iron armor, and occasionally the cold light flashing with swords, guns and armor, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so powerful, the 100,000 army trained by Brother Qi is really an elite soldier who bravely wins Xiong Zhen!" ”

Qi Jiguang smiled slightly: "The 100,000 troops are stationed in various enemy platforms, forts, and camps along the Great Wall, and here are only 30,000 elite soldiers selected from 100,000 people and personally trained by Brother Yu. ”

Seeing that Qin Lin was not very familiar with the border army, Qi Jiguang explained to him in detail that this Jizhen is based on the defense line of the Great Wall, and there are about 30,000 troops directly stationed in the hollow enemy platforms and beacon towers along the line, which belong to the first-line garrison troops.

The other 40,000 people were stationed in Shanhaiguan, Gubeikou, Xifengkou and other walled cities, led by 11 sub-garrison generals, who could be dispatched nearby when encountering the enemy, which was a supporting force.

In the end, there were 30,000 elite soldiers with the strongest combat effectiveness, led by Qi Jiguang, the prime minister's military training affairs and chief military officer of the town guard, and they were stationed in the Santun camp as the most powerful mobile strike force in deterrence.

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, the troops had been assembled, and he waved the command flag officer to wave the command flag, and several flag officers commanded the army to advance and retreat according to his command.

Qin Lin saw it and exclaimed: "Qi Shuai is the best in the world with soldiers, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name, hey, there is a small river there, and the forward of the pikemen has stepped on the river, Qi Shuai quickly called the gold and collected the troops!" ”

But a few miles to the east of the school field, there is a small river more than ten zhang wide, and a phalanx of pikemen has walked to the river, it is time for them to turn back! In this winter, the river water is cold and biting, and it is cold to step on it!

Unexpectedly, Qi Jiguang smiled slightly, and did not rush to give the order to turn back.

The phalanx of pikemen continued to advance without receiving the order, and the soldiers in the first rows had stepped into the river, but the formation was not scattered in the slightest, except for a short one, and there was no difference in marching on a peaceful ground!
