Chapter 405: Qi Shuai's Hardship
Chapter 405 Qi Shuai's distress
Qi Jiguang was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly for a long time, and said helplessly: "Where did Brother Qin hear the news?" actually deceived each other with wine and coaxed the old brother to come. β
What news had Qin Lin heard?
The electric guns and thunder guns he tinkered with, in addition to Yu Dayou's Jingshi car battalion, it was the turn of the new army in Jizhen to equip them, and it was impossible for the tens of thousands of troops in Jizhen to be equipped in the future, so there should be a few batches of samples sent over first, why did Qi Jiguang see this new firearm for the first time?
This is the first doubt.
Then asked about the fact that his combat exploits in the past few years were not as good as Li Chengliang in Liaodong, Qi Jiguang seemed to have hidden intentions, and Qi Jin was indignant, and Qin Lin became more and more suspicious.
It must be known that Qi Jiguang was an invincible handsome man in the world, and he was also a military strategist with outstanding talent who wrote such military theoretical works as "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Practical Record of Military Training"; during the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli periods, he wanted to be called the second, and no one dared to call him the first, and his combat style was even more known as "Soaring Power" and "Thunderbolt", and he was known as invincible for decades.
The cloud guard toothpick is full, and the star contains a sword. I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope that Hai Boping, the general who wrote such verses, will be ambitious and not enterprising?
So what is the reason why he is a full-time defender in Jizhen and rarely attacks?
This is the second suspicion.
Finally, in Zhang Juzheng's mansion, when the first auxiliary emperor asked if the governor of Jiliao was hindered, Qi Jiguang hesitated a little and fell into Qin Lin's eyes.
Zhang Juzheng trusts Qi Jiguang very much, and Qi Jiguang also tries his best to flatter, saying that he must call himself "a small man under the door", this relationship between the two generals is excellent, what is the reason why Qi Jiguang hesitates so much? If Yang Zhao is restricted, why not speak out?
This brings us to the third doubt.
The combination of the three doubts, coupled with what Qin Lin saw and heard in the case of "Chen Minghao's beating of Master Ma", when he was in charge of the Yang Mansion's domineering and forced the army and civilians to donate their land, the conclusion is about to come out:
Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, is a crazy corrupt official, he embezzled military rations and silver, so that he delayed the equipment of the new army in Jizhen, and at the same time, the lack of food and salary made Qi Jiguang unable to take the initiative to attack, and he could only focus on defense in the past few years!
As for why he hesitated and refused to speak directly to Zhang Juzheng, Qin Lin also guessed a little bit of the reason......
After this analysis and discernment, Qi Jiguang was speechless for a while, looked at Qin Lin with his eyes open, and sighed: "Brother Qin is really like electricity, and he can't hide it from you at all, alas~~"
Qi Jinteng stood up suddenly: "Uncle, Chief Qin is not an outsider, so what if we just talk about it?" Governor Yang is so up and down, and you are still hiding for him......"
"Things in officialdom are not as simple as you think," Qi Jiguang did not reprimand his nephew like the previous times, but waved his hand helplessly, his voice was dark, and his expression was extremely tired, even more tired than when he fought nine battles and nine victories in eastern Zhejiang, and even more tired than when he was fighting with the 100,000 iron cavalry of the barbarian department outside Jimen.
Once upon a time, Qi Jiguang also had a youthful spirit, thinking that he could fight for 3,000 miles and block a million soldiers with a sword, but the reality gradually smoothed out his edges and corners:
Hu Zongxian, the commander of the anti-Japanese war, was strategizing and commanding, and he was almost able to quell the Japanese rebellion, but he was unjustly imprisoned and died in prison; Liu Xian, the chief soldier of Wolf Mountain, has made outstanding achievements in a hundred battles, has three ups and downs in his life, and has been repeatedly demoted; Yu Dayou, who is as famous as him Qi Jiguang and is older and began to lead troops to fight earlier, has been wronged seven times, demoted four times, imprisoned once, and even almost beheaded by the knife......
The reality made Qi Jiguang understand that if he was not tactful, would not be able to dance with long sleeves and find a backer to pat himself, he would not be able to get along in this officialdom at all, not only would he not be able to be a general in commanding the army, but the strategy in his chest would become useless, and it would be difficult to save his life.
It is not my intention to be a marquis, I hope that Hai Boping and Qi Jiguang can not be a marquis, but if he can't command the army to fight in the commander's position, what will he take to Ping Haibo? With bare hands, or with one man and one sword?
Yu Dayou chose to clean himself and be clean, and the whole world was turbid, so he kept his name all his life, but he could not establish a great career, and he died in the position of general of the Beijing Division;
Qi Jiguang chose a more difficult path, he hid all his magnificent edges and corners, he gave gifts and bribes to his boss, and he went around to find a backer...... There is only one thing: to keep the right to command the army and continue to stay in a position that allows him to serve the country loyally!
So when Zhang Juzheng gave Qi Jiguang absolute trust, let him let go of his hands, transfer the constrained civil officials for him, and prepare sufficient food and salary for him, Qi Jiguang's inner gratitude can be imagined. ,
Qi Jiguang, the great hero of the anti-Japanese war, willingly knelt at Zhang Juzheng's feet, humbly calling himself "the little one under the door", just because he knew that only this emperor and the first assistant of the emperor would treat him like this!
Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao......
"I understand," Qin Lin nodded, he read everything from Qi Jiguang's eyes: "Yang Zhao is an official reused by Mr. Zhang, the first assistant of the emperor's teacher, and he strongly supports the reform of the new policy, so Brother Qi doesn't want Zhang Xiangye to be embarrassed, and he is even more afraid that Yang Zhao will bribe Zhang Xiangye with the money obtained from corruption." β
Qi Jiguang's expression changed greatly, Rao is his perennial commander of the army, and he has never wavered in the face of the ferocious Japanese robbers on the southeast coast and the 100,000 people who control the strings in the northern barbarian department, and he is also extremely panicked at this time.
He was indeed very worried that Yang Zhao would affect Zhang Juzheng's new deal reform, and he was even more worried that once things got bigger, Zhang Juzheng would choose the latter between him and Yang Zhao!
"No, it can't be!" Qi Jin only knew that Yang Zhao had embezzled food and salary, but it was his uncle who was inconvenient to reveal it because of his face, and only then did he know that there were still many inside information.
His screaming voice was hoarse, and he looked at his uncle almost pleadingly: "Zhang Xiangye is a virtuous minister through the ages, and my nephew has heard that he is the current Yiyin and Zhou Gong, and he will never shield the bad guys!" β
Qi Jiguang shook his head slowly but resolutely.
He is no longer at the age of Qi Jin's impulsiveness, and he has already understood a lot of good and bad truths.
How can the ministers of the temple and the country be evaluated by the morality of ordinary people? The so-called selfless virtue of politicians, to achieve Zhang Juzheng's position, every move can determine the life and death of thousands of people, all thoughts are from a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, even Qi Jiguang is difficult to guess.
"Qi Jin, my uncle has long taught you that 'Ci is not in charge of the army', in extreme circumstances, you must have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, when the situation is urgent, for the safety of the army and the victory or defeat of the whole army, even if it is a comrade who is born and died, you must decisively give up ......"
Qi Jiguang taught his nephew a lesson, Qi Jin was thoughtful, and finally the border commander smiled bitterly, and then said: "Actually, there are four words behind Ci Bu's soldiers, my uncle didn't say it before, so let me tell you now - that is, 'good is not an official'!" β
To be an official to Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng, how can there be ordinary good and evil at all? If Qi Jiguang sent Persian Ji and Sea Dog Kidney, he thought he was a shameless villain, and Zhang Juzheng was extravagant and accepted gold and silver to treat him as a corrupt official, it would be a big joke in the world!
Qi Jin was stunned when he heard this, the anger just now disappeared without a trace, and the whole person sat back in his seat as if he had been emptied, his eyes open and empty.
Qi Jiguang's words were not only said to his nephew, but also to Qin Lin, and he arched his hand at Qin Lin a little tiredly: "Brother Qin's heartfelt words are for Brother Qin today." Although Governor Yang was a little more greedy, he finally did not hinder his elder brother militarily, and he was always a little better than officials who were corrupt and restrained, and he was a member of the imperial court who supported Zhang Xiangye's new policy, so he ......"
Qin Lin knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and agreed with a smile: "Since the elder brother said this, the brother will never say this matter." β
Qi Jiguang was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and invited Qin Lin to come to Jizhen to hunt horses after the warm weather in spring.
Qi Jin has always been listless, and some of the things that originally supported this young man seem to have gradually faded away......
Bidding farewell to Qi Jiguang, Qin Lin looked at the gradually gloomy sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali lowered their heads, today's events made them not know what to say, Qin Lin, who had been following the smooth sailing, did not expect that there would be such an inhumane side in the officialdom; I always thought that Qi Jiguang was invincible and invincible, but I didn't expect that he would have to endure so many difficulties and even humiliation to serve the country loyally!
"Let's go," Qin Lin let out a long breath, turned around and strode down the street.
The fat man followed two steps, and suddenly woke up: "Brother Qin, our house is in the west......"
Qin Lin didn't reply: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." β
Walking to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the lights had been turned on at this time, and there were still many visitors waiting there, and the acquaintances at the door had changed from You Qi to Yao Ba.
Seeing Qin Lin go and return, Yao Ba was a little surprised, and asked with a smile, "Chief Qin, who are you?" β
"I want to see Miss Zhang," Qin Lin said bluntly.
Okay, I just paid a visit to the prime minister during the day, and I came to see the young lady again at night, and Chief Qin is really extraordinary!
A few officials who heard it next to him looked at each other, and said that this guy is too bold, it's blatant! Not afraid of being beaten out with a fire and water stick?
Yao Ba knew that even his own Xiangye just gritted his teeth and refused to marry his daughter to be a flat wife, but he didn't prevent Qin Lin from meeting with Miss - it is said that since the fight to win the love, Xiangye has really lost all the secular etiquette.
"Miss is in the embroidery building, this will be for you," Yao Baguan smiled, and then went in.
No way! The eyes of the officials next to him were straight, we didn't even have a letter for a day, this Qin someone came to worship the young lady who had not left the cabinet at night, but the slave of the Prime Minister's Mansion also reported for him, it is really more popular than people!
Qin Lin had things in his heart, and he didn't think of avoiding taboos, but at this time, he felt that it was inappropriate when he heard others whispering, and he said to Yao Bajia: "If it is inconvenient for Miss, it is okay to call the eldest son and the third prince to meet." β
This time, even Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali couldn't help but despise him: Sir, you are called Wanting to cover Mizhang, this is called a thief shouting to catch a thief, and this is called three hundred taels of silver here! ROοΌ ~οΌ
