Qin Lin took his female dependents and was inconvenient to stay in the military camp, so he rushed back to Beijing after coming out of the military tent, while Niu Dali carried out the disciple ceremony and stayed to serve the master.

When I returned to the city, it was getting late, and the Zhengyang Gate had been locked, but it was difficult for Qin Lin, and the ivory waist card of the Fusi Office School in Beizhen was lit up, and he immediately reopened the door and let them in.

Early the next morning, the Cheying sent a fast horse to report that at the third watch last night, General Yu returned to heaven.

Qin Lin sighed when he heard it, and brought Lu Yuanzhi and the captain of the pro-soldier over to offer condolences.

Riding a horse to the camp station, only to see the camp full of vegetarians, the soldiers let out a loud cry of sorrow, the iron man who stood guard in the snowy and cold weather, and the snow on his shoulders was three inches and he did not move, and now he is crying one by one into tears.

Yu Dayou governs the army and loves soldiers like children, and the soldiers naturally regard the Lord as their parents.

Yu Zhigao came out to greet him wearing heavy filial piety, Niu Dali wore half filial piety for the master as a disciple, and Qi Jiguang and Shen Yourong were busy helping to hold on.

Qin Lin had long known that Yu Dayou was an honest general, and yesterday he saw that his sickbed was laid out simply, and there was nothing in the Chinese military tent except for the sword and the map, so he prepared five hundred taels of silver, which was packed in the worship box, and Lu Yuanzhi gave it to Yu Zhigao for funeral purposes.

Yu Zhigao looked haggard and kowtowed to Qin Lin: "Thank you General Qin for the first monarch." But before his death, the first monarch said that although Geng Jieqing's high temper was not good, he had been used to it all his life after all, so in addition to the court's rewards, the joint venture officers, relatives and friends of the old funeral money were all thanked and insensitive. ”

When Qin Lin heard this, he didn't think much of himself, and ordered Lu Yuanzhi to take back the worship box, and his heart sighed again and again.

Yu Dayou loves soldiers like children, if he receives money for the funeral, I am afraid that the soldiers of the joint venture will be enthusiastic to dedicate it, and the soldiers of the border army are paid a meagre amount of silver, and it is not easy to get a penny, how can Yu Dayou bear to ask them to break the bank? Even relatives and friends, all the condolences were not taken.

The old general was still thinking about the soldiers of the border court when he was dying, which really made people sigh.

Qi Jiguang also smiled bitterly at Qin Lin, the Yu family didn't even accept his funeral money, and when Yu Zhigao went to answer with the other hangers, he walked to Qin Lin's side: "Brother Qin, this Yu Zhigao's temper is really seven points like his father, he was really ...... just now."

"Brother Qi don't worry, little brother knows it," Qin Lin waved his hand.

Of course, Qi Jiguang is not talking about the funeral silver, but Yu Zhigao's title.

Since he has entered Qin Lin's court, if he is a civil official, he should be called a teacher and a teacher, and a military attache should be called a benefactor and a minister, and he should call himself a disciple or Mu En, like Qi Jiguang worshiped in the main courtyard of Zhang Ju, the first assistant of the current dynasty, and called himself "Mu En's small door".

This worship is not casual worship, the benevolent will promote the protégé, the protégé will be loyal to the benefactor, this relationship is quite strong, the benefactor betrays the protégé will be despised by the world, if the protégé betrays the benefactor, it will be regarded as a wolf's heart and dog's lungs, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the court and the opposition.

Yu Dayou ordered his son to worship under Qin Linmen, which can be described as well-intentioned, but Yu Zhigao seems to be a little awkward, just now he called not "benefactor" but "General Qin".

Qin Lin knew this, even if Yu Dayou was old and had a son, Yu Zhigao was also in his twenties, several years older than himself, and he was a famous general Huzi with high martial arts, loyalty, and a slightly excellent general, and suddenly asked him to worship under his door, although it was Yu Dayou's deathbed death, Yu Zhigao inevitably had some pimples in his heart.

It is said that Qin Lin is not in a hurry to see the hearts of the people for a long time, Yu Zhigao is a real general, slow work and meticulous work, once he is taken into his own use, there will be one more general under his command who can command the army!

The sickbed in the Chinese military tent has been replaced with a coffin, Qin Lin bowed three times in front of the spirit, because Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong greeted other hangers, so they pulled Niu vigorously to ask about the situation last night.

Niu Dali told the old general Yu before and after his return to heaven, mentioning that Yu Dayou talked and laughed freely before his death, but he once sighed that "the name of the first life is clear, and it is ruined by the word 'annihilation of greed'", I don't know what the reason is.

"It was the sixth year of Longqing," Qi Jiguang said about the past, looking a little lonely: "Brother Yu was in the Guangxi General Army, and Guangxi Inspector Li Liangchen participated in the impeachment of Brother Yu to eliminate corruption, although the military department helped him speak, he was still dismissed and returned home. Brother Yu has been humiliated seven times in his life, degraded four times, and was almost beheaded when he was arrested and imprisoned once. ”

After saying this, Qi Jiguang's tone was depressed, perhaps thinking of his superiors, subordinates and comrades-in-arms who fought side by side against the Japanese back then: Hu Zongxian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was framed by Wang Bengu, and was implicated by Yan Song and died in prison; Zhejiang Governor Zhu Kun committed suicide by resigning from his post; Zhang Jing, the brave and resourceful governor of Pingwa, was framed and beheaded by Yan Song; The famous general Lu Bo died of depression after being unjustly dismissed...... Heroes and heroes are not glorious deaths on the battlefield, but died in court party battles and died in false accusations and frame-ups, how can people not sigh?

Qi Jiguang was fortunate to be appreciated by Zhang Juzheng, retained his military power, and was able to continue to stay in the border court to serve the country, but he endured humiliation, made compromises, and was bullied by the big corrupt official Yang Zhao, how can the bitterness be known to outsiders?

Therefore, when Yu Dayou was dying, he asked his son to worship under the Qin Lin Gate - Yu Zhigao Geng Jie's upright temper has the style of a father, and it is really difficult to move an inch in the officialdom.

General Yu has a son in old age, after all, he doesn't want Yu Zhigao to be as bumpy as himself...... Listening to Qi Jiguang's words, Qin Lin didn't say anything, just frowned thoughtfully.

Niu Dali choked up again: "When the master was dying, he gave me his weapons and told me to make contributions under the command of Chief Qin." ”

As he spoke, Niu Dali took out an iron rod with a thickness of more than an inch and a length of a handle from behind the military tent, only to see that the iron rod was black and shiny, and it felt a little chilly in the palm of his hand, and the stick had an uneven dragon pattern on the body.

"Iron Dragon's Stick!" Qi Jiguang saw this stick as if he saw an old friend, stretched out his hand to take it and easily danced a stick flower: "This stick weighs 9981 pounds, it is made of iron, and it is Brother Yu's weapon, because Yu Shi's nephew learned marksmanship with me, Brother Yu also sighed that this stick has no heir, hey, Niu Zhuangshi is born with divine power, and he is the master of this stick. ”

Qin Lin was taken aback, "Didn't Niu Dali learn the swordsmanship from Old General Yu?" I have a seven-star sword, and I plan to give it to Niu Dali after he has completed his studies, so why use a stick? ”

Qi Jiguang smiled dumbly: "Although Brother Yu wrote the "Sword Sutra", it is actually all stick methods. Although the sword is sharp, it has to compete in the rivers and lakes, which is not conducive to the battle formation, Brother Niu and other strong men are more than brave and dexterous enough, they should use this heavy iron dragon stick, if they use the sword, they can't play his strengths. ”

Niu Dali's eyes widened, he was used to using a thick jujube stick, and it was the famous teacher who met the high apprentice when he learned the stick method with Yu Dayou, and the master and apprentice both felt that Qin Lin's arrangement was very appropriate, but he didn't expect Qin Lin to know it himself, and it was purely a mistake.

"This, it's called crooked hitting!" Qin Lin's old face turned red.

The court was very suspicious of the generals, Yu Dayou was newly mourned, and it was inconvenient for everyone to stay in the military camp for a long time, and after the condolences, Qi Jiguang immediately rushed back to Jizhen to take office, Qin Lin said a few words to Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong, and also took the ox to beat the horse back to the city.

Looking at the back of Qin Lin beating his horse away, Shen Yourong hesitated and asked, "Brother Yu, General Qin is an excellent person, why are you ......?"

Yu Zhigao's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Three days later, the new official arrived, Yu Dayou was a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, and Yu Zhigao transported his father's coffin to the Fujian Hall in Beijing for a while.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty had to worry about the funeral of their parents, and left their posts to go home to keep filial piety for three years (in fact, twenty-seven lunar months, early two years), but the military attaches could not pick their sons and leave at any time when they came to military duties, and secondly, the military attachés were regarded as "a martial artist", and they did not seem to have to be too demanding in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness, so they only had a hundred days of vacation.

Yu Zhigao is a new branch of martial arts, and at the same time, there is also a hereditary command of Yongningwei in Quanzhou, Fujian, who was earned by his father Yu Dayou for his son after a hundred battles.

The weather is hot, and it is necessary to help the coffin return to the south as soon as possible, Yu Zhigao made up his mind to try to do two things during the holiday: first, to ask the court for his father's shirt and nickname, his father failed to return to his hometown before his death, and he will always have a beautiful scenery after his death; Second, go to the military department to complete the formalities for replacing the post, so that after the coffin is returned to his hometown, he will directly take up his post in his hometown.

On this day, Shen Yourong accompanied Yu Zhigao to the former military governor's mansion to ask for a compassionate and nickname.

The former military governor's mansion is located in Jiangmi Lane on the west side of Qipan Street, and the Jinyi Wei Yamen is a neighbor, and Yu Dayou also brought his son here before his death, so Yu Zhigao is also familiar with the road, and went straight to the experience officer in charge of this matter.

This surnamed Jiang from Wupin experience, is a thin and half-old man in his fifties, Yu Zhigao respectfully handed over the paperwork, he casually took it and flipped it over, and said in an official tone: "The death of General Yu is really sudden, and the court has lost a member of the general!" Yu Shinephew rest assured, the official will report as soon as possible, and the court's code and nickname will come down. ”

Yu Zhigao was very satisfied and left the Governor's Mansion, thinking that he would soon have a warning and a nickname, so that he would have to go to the military department to go through the formalities.

I didn't expect that three days had passed, five days had passed, and I had been waiting for ** days, and there was no movement, to ask about Jiang Zhi's experience, people always dragged the official tone slowly, "Soon", "Soon", and then asked, just pretending to be confused.

The two young people didn't know that every time they went to the former military governor's mansion to ask questions, they had just left, and Liu Shouyou, the Jinyi Governor who was on top of the white tiger hall in the yamen opposite, would receive the news, and at that time, Liu Dudu's smile was particularly grim:

Hmph, pawn, substitute, dream of it! If you can't bring down Qin Lin, you can't deal with you two little things? Dare to give me Liu Dadu Governor eye medicine......
