Qi Jiguang actually made a statement to solicit? ! This was unexpected by Cheng Zhong, who had never thought about this question before. Seeing Qi Jiguang's side is because of his admiration for him, but whether to mix with him or not is a problem.

Qi Jiguang is now a staff general, and he will be promoted to the general army in the future, which is equivalent to the commander of the military division, and he is definitely a big official.

This is indeed a great opportunity for Cheng Zhong!

Should I say yes? Cheng Zhong was impulsive and almost agreed.

But he quickly calmed down, Qi Jiguang was a good leader compared to Hai Rui.

Hai Rui is strict with himself and others, and it must be bitter to follow him. And Qi Jiguang is lenient with himself and even more lenient with others. He took three concubines and spent them extravagantly. He also spent a lot of money on the powerful people in the DPRK and China to accept it, which was exchanged for official prosperity. This coincides with Cheng Zhong's view.

But Cheng Zhong couldn't follow Qi Jiguang.

First, the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature and light on military force, although Qi Jiguang was a famous general in the anti-Japanese war, but in the middle of the court, he could only rely on the powerful, and he was deposed if he was slightly unsatisfactory. He is still like this, what good will happen if he is attached to him?

And the general will inevitably die in battle, Cheng Zhong does not have the same good martial arts as Qi Jiguang, and he doesn't even have a good body. Entering the battle formation is generally used to increase the experience of the Japanese invaders. If you don't go into battle, it will be difficult to make meritorious contributions, and if you go into battle, you will be very likely to die in battle, and this risk is very high. After all, Qi Jiguang, as the main general, has to charge into battle in person, even if he follows Qi Jiguang, he will not be spared.

Cheng Zhong was afraid of death, although he wanted to exterminate the Japanese invaders, but he just wanted to act as a Confucian general, strategizing and breaking the enemy for thousands of miles.

What's more, Cheng Zhong's silk business in Huating has been on the right track and is gradually making profits, even if the road to the imperial examination does not go through in the future, he can be a rich man, and the ** beautiful concubine will not be a problem at that time, in this case, why should he give up his current wealth for such a dangerous future?

It's just how to refuse Qi Jiguang? As a general, Qi Jiguang took the initiative to solicit, and if Cheng Zhong did not handle it properly, it was very likely that he would not be able to step down, so he was resentful. I can't say that I can only use Hai Rui as a shield.

Just when Cheng Zhong was organizing language and wanted to reject Qi Jiguang, Tang Shunzhi smiled and said, "Yuan Jing, you are joking again." Little brother, don't care, Yuan Jing is joking with you. ”

Who is Tang Shunzhi? I have already seen Cheng Zhong's embarrassment, too, he won the show at a young age, if he takes the imperial examination, the future is unlimited, and it is not much better than joining the army and fighting for his life?

In order not to embarrass Cheng Zhong or embarrass Qi Jiguang, Tang Shunzhi said so.

Although Qi Jiguang felt a little regretful, he would not force it, and said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Cheng will do a good job in the imperial examination, and he will be high in the temple in the future, so as to benefit the people." ”

Cheng Zhong took the opportunity to say: "If there is a chance, Cheng Zhong really wants to follow the general to fight on the battlefield and kill the Japanese invaders." ”

At this point, it's time for Cheng Zhong to leave. The army is about to be launched, and many things have to be dealt with, so Qi Jiguang did not stay with Cheng Zhong anymore.

Cheng Zhong stood up, but said with an embarrassed face: "General Qi, there is another reluctant invitation below." ”

Cheng Zhong was a little embarrassed, refusing Qi Jiguang's invitation, but now he has to make a request, if he is a little thin-skinned, I am afraid he will not be able to say it. But Cheng Zhong had to mention it again, but I didn't know if Qi Jiguang would agree.

"How?" Looking at Cheng Zhong's thin back, Qi Jiguang said.

"The future of this son is unlimited, I'm afraid it will be far above you and me." Tang Shunzhi said with a smile. If others hear Tang Shunzhi's words, I am afraid they will be very surprised.

Qi Jiguang was already in a high position at the age of twenty-nine, and Tang Shunzhi had also patrolled Fengyang, and his status was also very high. He even asserted that Cheng Zhong's achievements in the future would be no less than that of himself and Qi Jiguang, and this praise was very high.

When Xie Mengting, Cheng Zhong, Xie Sicun and a group of more than a dozen people returned to Huating County, it was already late at night.

The brothers of the Cao Gang have been sent back by Cheng Zhong, Xie Mengting did not treat them badly, they were supplied with good food and drink, and finally each of them sealed twenty taels of silver, and also asked Duan Sanyi to bring a letter to the leader of the Cao Gang, expressing his gratitude, and at the same time agreeing on the time of visiting. Attached to the letter was a silver ticket worth 5,000 taels.

Although this trip was only three or four days, I experienced a lot of things! In the process of rushing to transport military rations, a thrilling war on grain prices was also fought in Ningbo!

In the end, the military rations were delivered to the Jiangnan camp before the deadline was reached.

Xie Mengting, Xie Sicun and others have a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and the biggest hero of this trip, Cheng Zhong Cheng Xiucai, can be said to be exhausted, at this time he is burning the sundial, day and night...... Uh, catch up on sleep.

That's right, it's catching up on sleep. Now that the Xie family has Xie Mengting and Xie Sicun father and daughter presiding, Cheng Zhong will not overstep his bounds, so he will leave it alone, lying in the carriage and sleeping in the dark, in a sparse uproar.

Suddenly, the carriage was bumped by the stones on the road, and then stopped, Cheng Zhong woke up from his dream, and opened the door sleepily, but there were many people in front of the convoy, holding torches one by one, beeping sound.

"Robbery?!" Cheng Zhongteng jumped up, but his head hit the canopy, and it hurt hotly.

"Ouch!" Cheng Zhong cried out in pain, and said with a thick aunt in his mouth: "I knew that the road was not smooth, so I wouldn't have let those masters of the Cao Gang go back so early." ”

Xie Sicun sneered and said, "Cheng Gongzi, we're home." ”

This sounds easy to misunderstand, Xie Siyi's face turned red after speaking, but fortunately, Cheng Zhong didn't notice.

Cheng Zhong fixed his eyes and saw that one of these people in front of him was Xie Jiangbo.

In the whole matter, Xie Jiangbo stayed in Huating to buy grain. Don't look at the fact that he didn't follow the convoy all the way, but whether he can buy enough food in a very short time is also the key to the success of the whole thing.

Originally, Cheng Zhong was still a little worried about him, after all, Xie Jiangbo did look a little second on weekdays.

But he didn't expect that Xie Jiangbo completed the task brilliantly, and purchased 50,000 more grains than expected, which can be described as a great contribution.

Compared with before, Xie Jiangbo seems to be much calmer. It's only been a few days, so it can be seen that suffering makes people grow is not a lie.

"Daddy, little sister!" Xie Jiangbo greeted the three of them and just said hello, but his voice was already choked and he couldn't speak. In the past few days, he didn't know what happened in Huiji in Huating, and he didn't know the future and fate of the Xie family, and this torment made the eldest young master of the Xie family exhausted, and he couldn't sleep well at all.

"Okay, okay, Haoran, you're doing a good job this time, it's good!" Xie Mengting looked at his son and sighed in his heart! It's not that the son is incapable, it's just that he didn't give him this opportunity before.

Since he is not the material for studying, the burden of the Xie family will eventually fall on him in the future, and it seems that it is time for him to manage more of the Xie family's business in the future. With his relationship with Cheng Zhong, he can also tightly tie Cheng Zhong to the Xie family's chariot.

Of course, it would be better if it could be like that! Xie Mengting glanced at Xie Sicun, quite helpless.

Xie Sicun is very assertive, even as a father, Xie Mengting can't impose his own ideas on Xie Sicun. On the way back, Xie Mengting had privately talked with Xie Sicun about lifelong events, although Xie Sicun's attitude was not as disgusted and resolute as before, but he didn't nod after all, it seems that fate is indeed something that cannot be forced.

"Brother Cheng!" Xie Jiangbo turned to Cheng Zhong, and his eyes contained a lot of things.

Although Cheng Zhong's age was two or three years younger than Xie Jiangbo, it made Xie Jiangbo feel a little dependent, and as soon as the news of the loss of military rations came, Xie Jiangbo found Cheng Zhong for help.

"Say no more!" Cheng Zhong stopped Xie Jiangbo from thanking him, but patted him on the shoulder hard! The two brothers have a tacit understanding.
