Chapter 520: The Sword is not old, and the heart is old

Jizhen Santun Camp was originally just a small city in Qianzhou, however, since Tianshun set up the Jizhen General Military Mansion here in the second year, this small city has become one of the famous nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to many generals, it has also attracted many businessmen from the south to the north. It is close to the Luanhe River, and you can reach Qian'an, Lulong and Luanzhou by water, and the latter is on the official road to Shanhaiguan, which can be said to be convenient by land and water.

But after entering October, the south is still warm and cold, and it has not yet completely entered winter, but there has been a goose feather heavy snow in Santun Camp, and the Luanhe River has naturally frozen. It is now the end of October, and in the general soldier's mansion of Jizhen, the fire kang has been burned in every room and the brazier has been placed. For Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen who has lived in Shandong since he was a child, the weather in the north is not unfamiliar, but he has transferred 5,000 Zhejiang troops under his command, these are typical southern soldiers, although it has been five or six years in the north, many people are still not used to this winter climate, so every year in winter, he has to personally patrol the camp.

At this moment, a group of about thirty or forty people stopped in front of the General Soldier's Mansion. When Qi Jiguang, who was wearing a black coat, dismounted, his movements were as vigorous as back then. He was forty-five years old, and it was when he was in the prime of life, and there was not a single variegated beard under his chin, only a slight frost on his sideburns.

He trained the most elite soldiers and horses in the entire Ming Dynasty, in addition to a number of scribes and staff to serve, every time the general military palace literary meeting, there are often study tours to join in the fun, when the wine is drunk, he will still be as young as when he was young, and I don't know who spread the four words of Yan Zhao's style, which has become the most commonly used word to evaluate his poetry.

He touched the neck of his mount, raised his head uneasily, and motioned for the groom to take him down to give him a good hand, and he went straight to the gate. Because there was still a light snow in the sky before, the black fox fur was covered with fine snow droplets. After handing it to one of his entourage, he raised his hand and asked all the soldiers to go back to rest, and he took two of his entourage inside, but he went directly into his study. As soon as he sat down, he took a sip of hot tea, and a cautious voice came from outside the door: "Dashuai." The lady said that the second son was sick, and in order to prevent people from coming in and out, she ordered the door of the inner courtyard to be closed. ”

“……”

Qi Jiguang didn't answer, and the people outside the door obviously didn't expect him to answer, so they quietly retreated. At this time, the two relatives who were still in the house knew that the coach was in a bad mood, and they were not the ones who could talk to each other, so they tiptoed out of the house after looking at each other. Thereupon. In the huge room, only this Jizhen general soldier was left.

Although the teapot on the desk had already prepared hot tea, and there were snacks on the table at any time, the room was burning warm, and the cold air that had been running around before seemed to have been dispelled cleanly, but Qi Jiguang only felt that his heart was cold, and there was no heat.

He came from a family in the army, and his ancestors had made many military exploits, so he was hereditary in commanding the military position. But except for the ancestor who received hereditary grace, the hereditary military position was passed on to his father Qi Jingtong. Only then did there be another sign of family revitalization. 's father broke the thieves in Qingzhou, moved all the way, and finally became the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, but after returning to his hometown, he was sick and used up all the money from the eunuch bag. That is, because of his father's merits, he was enthroned as a hereditary commander of the military position. The younger brother Qi Jimei was also able to grace thousands of households.

But if that's all he wants, he's just an obscure member of a large group of hereditary officers. But he was first prepared in Shandong, and then transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and trained 3,000 soldiers and horses among the Yiwu people. Since then, he has moved from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Fujian, although there have been failures, but more often they have made great achievements, and even turned the tide. With these 3,000 soldiers and horses as the backbone, the Zhejiang army shook the southeast, so relying on Tan Lun's recommendation, the support of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng in the cabinet, and after being transferred to Jizhen with such a descendant of soldiers and horses, he completely gained a firm foothold with effective training and military management methods and flexible communication skills.

However, now thinking about the false name of a hereditary military position when he was poor, his life was difficult and embarrassing, and he was in love with his wife Wang, he sometimes couldn't help but wonder, whether it was easier to live a poor life back then, or whether this rich life was more comfortable now. Since he quietly took a concubine for the sake of his heir, the Wang family almost fell out with him, and finally reluctantly accepted his proposal, and took the second son Qi Anguo, who was still young at the time, as his own son, and the couple seemed to be reconciled on the surface, but he knew very well that the Wang family invested far more energy in Qi Anguo than him. Or rather, the afflictions of the past are almost gone.

And the two concubines have been with him in Jizhen all these years, but because these days the Wang family brought Qi Anguo to reunite with him, both of them moved outside like mice seeing cats. Once he looked at it twice, Wang not only gave him a look, but even turned sneering at every turn. As for the other two concubines except Qi Anguo, the Wang family didn't even bother to look at it, so he simply gave up all the inner courtyard to the Wang family, and only let them live in the outer courtyard. And the Wang family regarded Qi Anguo very closely, so that when his son saw that his father only knew only what he wanted, he didn't bother to care, as long as she liked it.

At this moment, after pouring half a pot of tea in one go, Qi Jiguang's depressed mood was not relieved much, but a little more urine. After Gong Gong was relieved, he simply asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food, especially the wine by name, but a few sips of wine aroused him a little sad. The weather in the north is cold, and most of the generals like the higher the degree of spirits, the better, but in the past, when he and the Wang family were in love, the Wang family would often prevent him from drinking spirits for various reasons.

But now, even if he gets himself drunk, no one will care.

The subordinates did not dare to advise because of his prestige, as for the Wang family...... Maybe she's almost dead in her eyes! But if that's the case, why did you come here from Dengzhou to reunite or something!

"Dashuai, Dashuai!"

"Huh?" Qi Jiguang, who was a little drunk, raised his eyes impatiently, "Could it be that Dong Fox is a thief who is not dead, and he wants to raise an army to attack?" ”

"No, it's the former head of the guard, Qi Liang, and the hundred households of the marshal's former guards, who came from the south, saying that they wanted to meet the marshal." The entourage outside the door paused and added. "In addition, there are two juniors of Wang Shilang of the military department......"

He was worried that the coach had drunk before, but he was afraid that he would not be able to sober up at this time. But after a while, I saw that the door was opened all of a sudden, followed by the boss with a red face and a little drop of water on his face. Realizing that Qi Jiguang had poured residual tea on his face to sober up, he hurriedly explained in detail: "The people just rushed to the city gate to close and enter the city. The lowly post has placed people in the flower hall in front of the General Soldier's Palace......"

"Bring it in." Qi Jiguang suppressed his churning mood and repeated in a deep voice, "Bring people in." ”

Although he knew that Qi Liang was one of Qi Jiguang's most powerful henchmen back then, since he had quit the army with those disabled veterans and went back to retire, he had not returned to Jizhen for many years, and that well-informed entourage never thought that Qi Jiguang would meet people directly in the study. After hesitating for a moment, he thought that he was accompanied by the junior of Wang Daokun, the squire of the military department, perhaps because Qi Jiguang was rushing to his friendship with Wang Daokun. Only then did he think highly of his son and nephew, and he thought that he had straightened out the connection, and immediately agreed to leave in a hurry.

And Qi Jiguang covered the door and returned to his seat, but he poured the residual tea in his hand again, and sprinkled a little directly on his face, only to feel that his groggy head was much more awake again, so he wiped his face with a silk handkerchief, and then stood in front of the wooden screen carved with the map of Jiliao.

On that bloody battlefield. Even if he loses, he will quickly make a comeback and achieve greater feats. But on a certain battlefield, he was defeated, and he had long forgotten what victory was like.

At the beginning, Qi Liang took those old soldiers to She County to live in peace and defect to Wang Daokun, which means that Wang Daokun knows the situation of his family, and if he is replaced by another civil official, he has to laugh at him! So. When Qi Liang sent a letter in July, he said that he wanted to come to see him in person, and he had always been in his heart, even if Wang Daokun had told him privately when he was ordered to inspect Jizhen in the sixth year of Longqing, that the money should be stable and earning. His nephew often took care of him personally, but he still couldn't let go. After all, he didn't expect him to have a chance that when the family divided the property, his wife would give it to the other two concubines who were not raised under his knees, so he could only find a way to keep some private house for them.

When there was a soft sound at the door, followed by a few footsteps, Qi Jiguang said without looking back: "Liu Yun, if you go to guard outside the courtyard gate, the sky will fall, and no one will be allowed to enter the door." ”

This is not the first time that Liu Yun, as Qi Jiguang's personal follower, has received such a death order in the past few years, but in the past, it was always because of the important affairs of the military state, but today this is obviously not the case. But he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly took the order to retreat. As soon as he left, Qi Liang, who had been trying his best to restrain himself, stepped forward quickly, knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Dashuai, I'm back." ”

For Qi Liang, following Qi Jiguang's surname means that everything after his new life was given by Qi Jiguang, which also made him position himself as the boss's retainer in a fundamental sense. At this moment, his actions were not thought out at all, and his words were naturally revealed.

"I want to come back in Huizhou all the time, but I think that there are elite soldiers and strong generals around the handsome, and I, who is blind in one eye, can show the handsome a belongings from afar, so I am satisfied, so I have endured it and not moved the nest. However, last time I got Mr. Nanming...... It's Wang Shilang's message, knowing that everything is okay with Dashuai, I can't help it anymore. After all, Jizhen is not the southeast, there are many veterans, and the brothers are also very worried about the handsome, if I hadn't been pressed one by one this time, I am afraid that I couldn't help but follow Jizhen......"

Qi Liang is not a talker, and even Wang Fulin has always felt that this old man often only laughs and is silent, and he never talks nonsense, but today he heard Qi Liang, who is very young, say a lot in one breath, and many of them are purely repeated over and over again. And Qi Jiguang, who had his back to them at the beginning, had already turned around, with indescribable concentration on his face. Because the other party's attention was completely off on him at this moment, he had enough time to observe the famous Jizhen commander.

Qi Jiguang has a heroic figure and handsome facial features, he must have been a rare beautiful man back then, and now he is also a handsome uncle with a very temperamental temperament. It's just that this is an era when civil officials are at the top and military ministers are running down. I don't know what Qi Jiguang felt like when he was a lackey under the book door on the greeting post to Zhang Juzheng.

After a long time, Qi Jiguang finally listened to Qi Liang's words, and after helping people to get up, his attention fell on the other two people who came with Qi Liang. His gaze only stayed on Wang Fulin for a moment, and he noticed Xiaobei, and his face couldn't help but froze. He had the support of Hu Zongxian in his military training, so he saw Hu Zongxian and his young daughter more times than ordinary people, although the eighteenth change of the female university, Xiaobei was dressed as a man at this time, but after he had insight into the disguise of a woman disguised as a man, he couldn't help but ask bluntly: "Qi Liang, this girl is also a junior in Brother Nanming's family?" ”

PS: The starting point was changed to full attendance, just 4,000 a day, so a lot of the books I chased were changed to the 2K Party, embarrassing...... But why do I break 7,000 or nearly 8,000 more often? Well, ask for a monthly pass for your good performance (to be continued......
