The meanders of the river and the valley of Fugu, including the passes of the Great Wall in these two places, have been turning for many days. Everywhere he went, he admired Li Guo, was grateful, and respected his parents as devoutly. Whether it is the people in the fields or the soldiers, the intention of supporting Li Guo is incomprehensible.

Everyone doesn't know the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows Tiger Master, Li Guo!

Xi Keteng, who followed Li Guo on patrol, couldn't stop praising him, "Li Guo, you really have prestige, according to our Oroqen people, you are a big hero who can command everyone!" ”

Qi Laohan thought that Li Guo was just an ordinary bandit, and he didn't care, but he saw that Li Guo cherished the people, and the people could enjoy a peaceful life under Li Guo's rule. Although he didn't say anything, he admired it in his heart. Qi Laohan thought to himself, in today's world, there is really no official who can compare to Li Guo.

So, Qi Laohan didn't come to scold, but said to Li Guo in a serious tone, "Like you, it's a good way out to serve the country." ”

Li Guo smiled: "Isn't it a good way out now?" Isn't it time to serve the country? ”

"After all, it is necessary to take refuge under the door of the imperial court, and it is the right way." Qi Laohan said.

"Hah! Court? Don't you know about today's court? The Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, and various parties are fighting over money and power, so how can they have the heart to manage the government? Besides, the country is the country, the court is the court, patriotism is not the same as loving the court, the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, the people are not living, even if you have not seen it, have you never heard of it, how many people died of starvation just in the north and south of the river! For a bite to eat, there are not a few poor families who sell their sons and daughters, haven't you ever heard of it? Li Guo was excited for a while, and his tone was inappropriate.

But what Li Guo said made sense, and Qi Laohan really couldn't refute it.

Li Guo said emotionally, "When I first rebelled, I once saw a family, and they were so hungry that they cooked the children who were about to starve to death, and there were not a few such things. Therefore, at that time, I swore that one day, I would make the world peaceful! I want to reopen up my career in this Ming Dynasty! ”

These words were generous and powerful, and Qi Laohan had nothing to say. I have been holding back and wanting to scold, but now I can't say a word.

Li Guo was in a mood at this time, and said to Qi Laohan, "Master, what I just said is a bit heavy, but it is my sincere words. Isn't it good for you to see the people living with me, well-fed and warmly clothed? ”

Qi Laohan knew that what Li Guo said was right, this Li Guo was good to the people and did things right, but he was a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't be ruthless if he did it like Li Guo. Qi Laohan just nodded and stopped talking.

Li Guo was helpless and said, "Master, you see the situation here, now follow me to see my soldiers!" I really want you to help me, but I don't want to. ”

So, Li Guo returned to the old camp with the elated Siketeng and the silent Qi Laohan.

The old battalion maintained a strength of 3,000 soldiers, of which 2,000 were adult elite soldiers, 1,000 were child soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers were scattered in the Fugu, Hequ and Great Wall checkpoints, and the soldiers often changed guards. Only the 200 men of Wang Si were stationed in the old camp, because they were equipped with 200 captured firearms, and Li Guo had already begun to train them.

Li Guo gave an order, and 2,000 adult elite soldiers and 800 child soldiers lined up and marched neatly. And as soon as the flag changed, they caught each other and fought against each other, regardless of whether they practiced the law or not, but the army was neat and the morale was extremely high!

After a while, Wang Si appeared with two hundred firecrackers, and he released a burst of guns in ping-pong, which was also very powerful.

Li Guo was very proud, and looked left and right at Xi Keteng and Qi Laohan.

Sikten suddenly jumped off his horse and fell to one knee in front of Li Guo.

"Sikten, what are you doing here? Why do you and my brother give such a gift? "Li Guo is very strange.

Sikten said solemnly, "Actually, when I came, I discussed with the elders of various villages, and you are right, we alone are not Houjin's opponents at all. Therefore, I came here this time to investigate, and now I see that you love the people and can train soldiers, and we Oroqen people will never suffer if we follow you. So I decided to take refuge under your hands, and I only hope that you will not forget your promise in the future and help us Oroqen defeat Houjin! ”

Li Guo was happy in his heart, and laughed and said, "Good brother, with you helping me, why worry about big things!" Sikteng, if I can really defeat Houjin in the future, I will make you the king of Oroqen! ”

The old man Qi beside him pursed his lips and thought, just you? Train such a soldier to defeat Houjin? Pipe dream. On the other hand, I couldn't stop regretting that such a good soldier made Li Guolian bad.

That night, in order to welcome the more than 100 people who had joined the new Sikten, the old camp held a banquet.

Everyone drank happily, and Na Siketeng also became happy, and with the strength of wine, he led those Oroqen people to pick up long arrows and shoot arrows at the arrow target.

Ordinary people shoot arrows only at a distance of fifty paces, but the Oroqen people fiddle with bows and arrows since childhood, the bow is big, the string is tight, the arrow is long, and the shooting is accurate, in the torch, more than 100 arrows flew in the air, shot 90 steps away, and shot at the target in unison, and shot down more than a dozen arrow targets.

Liu Tichun, Nie Xin and the others were shocked and happy when they saw it. They all raised their wines to celebrate that Li Guo had received strong help again, and drank with Sikteng.

Xi Keten deliberately poured a glass of wine and walked to Li Guo's side, "In the past, we were commensurate with brothers, but in the future, if we defect to you, you will be the leader of our Oroqen people, please accept our toast!" ”

With that, Siketeng knelt down, and all the Oroqen men knelt down.

Li Guo laughed, took the glass of wine, and said loudly, "If you can achieve great things in the future, you should share wealth and peace with all brothers!" ”

And the wine dried up in one gulp.

After drinking, Li Guo took the leaders to the conference room of the Great Yamen, and invited out the Maha Kala Golden Buddha and the golden characters, and Nie Xin even talked about the origin of these two treasures. Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, thinking to themselves, maybe it won't be long before Li Guo can dominate the world.

Qi Laohan couldn't stop shaking his head.

At this time, Huang Xiu walked out with Li Taiping, and everyone saluted.

After Huang Xiu returned the salute, he said to Qi Laohan, "Father-in-law, this child doesn't sleep at night, so he wants to go out, I'm afraid he wants to find you to sleep." ”

Qi Laohan showed kindness on his face and gently hugged Li Taiping, "Okay, I'll coax him to sleep tonight!" ”

Li Guo walked forward and said to Qi Laohan, "Master, you can think about the training of the soldiers." ”

Huang Xiu stopped him, "This is my father-in-law, I don't allow you to embarrass him!" ”

Qi Laohan sneered: "Don't quarrel between the two of you. ”

Li Guo and Huang Xiu were shocked, how did Qi Laohan know that the two were husband and wife, you must know that Li Guo did not show up at Huang Xiu during this time.

Huang Xiu said apologetically, "Father-in-law, I didn't want to hide it from you, because I was afraid that we would be separated." But how do you know that I am Li Guo's wife? ”

Qi Laohan said proudly, "I knew on the first day I saw you, how many of the leaders of the wife room here are surnamed Li?" What's more, the rest of the family servants, who is not respectful to you? ”

"Father-in-law, since this is the case, you will stay by my side, I will support you in old age, but don't mention the matter of military training again." Huang Xiu was ashamed.

Qi Laohan said gently, "Naturally, I won't help other people train soldiers, but you are now my daughter, Taiping is my grandson, in this troubled era, I want to train a soldier for you two, I don't want my daughter and grandson to be in danger." How can soldiers trained like others be able to protect you? ”

Li Guo didn't care about Qi Laohan's ridicule, but his heart thumped, thinking, this old man has changed his sex? Going to train the troops?
