"Yongzhen, you just said that there is a brother in the army, but is it true?"

"That's right, it's under the command of General He Shixian right now." Zhang Ke didn't lie, in fact, there was an older brother and an older sister above him, but they were half-siblings. The eldest sister Zhang Yuexin married Jinzhou four years ago, and the eldest brother Zhang Feng joined the army two years ago.

In these years, we pay attention to good people who are not soldiers, and good iron is not nailed. Shen was bitter to dissuade Zhang Feng at that time, but Zhang Feng was very stubborn, and Shen was a stepmother, so it was not easy to stop him.

"He Shixian, I heard that this person has a good official reputation, and he can lead the troops well, and he can be regarded as one of the best brave generals in Liaodong. I will repair a book for him, and ask him to arrange for you to be a scribe, a military counselor with the army, and then be promoted when you have merit, and you will save the grievances of talents! ”

Wang Huazhen said casually, as if it was a gesture. But in Zhang Ke's ears, there was a hint of strangeness. Wang Huazhen is the right senator, only from the fourth grade, and He Shixian is the chief soldier of the second grade, and there is a huge difference between the two in terms of grade, but He Shixian, such a "big official" in the eyes of Wang Huazhen, a "small official", seems to be a subordinate general, and can be driven and assigned at will, in fact, it is indeed similar.

The noble and martial arts have reached an unbelievable point!

Zhang Ke sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "My lord, I don't want to go to General He's account in my later life. ”

"Oh? Do you have a better fit? ”

"I want to go to the guard house in my later life."

As soon as a sentence came out, Wang Huazhen's face immediately froze, he could accept whatever Zhang Ke said, but this is really imaginary, it can be said to be incredible!

"Yongzhen, have you thought about it, don't you know what the guards look like! Saying that they are waste and lifting them up is simply rice worms, it is not good to fight tartars, but it is first-class to bully the common people. If you mix with them, you are willing to fall, you are embarrassed, you are ......"

Wang Huazhen couldn't think of any words, so she could only snort angrily: "Anyway, I can't arrange it, otherwise I won't have the face to see Brother Hong!" ”

Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "My lord, I don't see it that way in my later life, when Taizu became an ancestor, he relied on the guards to sweep the world, and then the guards could also defend the security of the frontier for a hundred years, which can be called the pillar of the imperial court." ”

"The heroes don't mention the courage of the past, and the current guards have long been abolished."

"That's right, I want to find out the reason for the collapse of the guard, and whether there is a way to restore it. Why is Jiannu's combat power amazing, and he thinks that they are fighting hard every battle, and failure is a dead end. And all the recruits on the front line of my Ming Dynasty are on errands, and they will run for their lives when it is a little difficult. Famous generals like Qi Jiguang can still maintain their combat strength, but when they encounter mediocre generals, they frequently suffer defeats. The reason for this is that these recruits do not have the heart to fight to the death. The guards are different, they are Liaodong people, under their feet is the land cultivated by their ancestors, and their parents, wives and children behind them, if their fighting spirit is aroused, even if they die more than two or three percent in battle, they can still fight hard, so invincible! ”

After listening to Zhang Ke's analysis, Wang Huazhen nodded and shook her head again.

"Yongzhen, you think about things simply, after a hundred years of accumulation, the land of Liaodong has long been reduced to the hands of the family generals, big officials are greedy, and small officials are greedy. When I first arrived in Liaodong, I thought about the rise and fall, but the water couldn't be splashed, and it was ironclad! ”

"Adults don't have to worry, Liaodong has reached the time when it will die if it doesn't change, and sooner or later there will be a good time for adults to show their skills."

Wang Huazhen smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words, Yongzhen, since you have seen this step, why don't you stay by my side to help!" ”

This is the second time that she has taken the initiative to invite, and it seems that Wang Huazhen really appreciates Zhang Ke's ability. However, Zhang Ke also has his own plans, he doesn't have a strong army of his own, so he can't make a difference, let alone follow Wang Huazhen, even if it is this apocalypse, it will not help if he follows Chongzhen!

"My lord, of course I want to assist my lord, but now I don't understand anything, and the great politics of the military state cannot be solved by being clever. Late students are willing to start from small soldiers, accumulate experience, if you can really find a way to solve the shortcomings of the guard, please ask the adults to push it with all their might, if the late students fail, it will not affect the overall situation, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! ”

After listening to Zhang Ke's words, Wang Huazhen closed her eyes and thought for a long time, suddenly stood up, walked to the front of the table in a few steps, laid out the rice paper, lifted the big pen, muttered, and then splashed ink, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the four big characters were written in an instant.

Wang Huazhen looked at it again, nodded with satisfaction, took out his private seal and pressed it on it.

"Yongzhen, this is a painting I wrote for you, how about it?"

Zhang Ke hurriedly flashed his eyes, only to see the iron painting silver hook, the vigorous and powerful four big characters: loyalty, bravery, benevolence and filial piety.

Wang Huazhen is the fourth place in the second class of the Hundred and Eighty-first Year of Wanli, and he can definitely be called a calligrapher, and he never gives people an inscription, but today he takes the initiative to write for Zhang Ke, which is definitely a rare thing.

"Adult calligraphy is a must, and the late life admires it, but these four words are too heavy, and the late life can't afford it!"

"Hahaha, it's not for you to bear it, it's for you to do it in this direction, and if you don't do it well, you will be punished by your teacher!"

"Lord Dare sent a whip to the late student?"

"What, don't you want it?"

"I can't ask for it in my later life, but with the spur of adults, my late life must be like a bamboo, and I can't look at it!"

Wang Huazhen laughed, patted Zhang Ke's shoulder and said: "Go and rest, think about what to do next, even if you join the army, I am still your elder, just say anything!" ”

After receiving Wang Huazhen's assurance, Zhang Ke was completely relaxed, and he was proud to find the organization, and came to the cross-hospital specially prepared for them.

As soon as they entered the yard, they heard laughter, and the tigers chased them excitedly.

Zhang Ke didn't bother them, and walked directly into the room, Qiao Fu was lying on top of the silk quilt on all fours, looking up at the snow-white roof. Qiao Gui sat opposite, his big rough hands touching the smooth quilt over and over again, and smiling.

"You guys have a bit of an image, don't let people think that we are turtles in the countryside!"

Qiao Gui said disappreciatively: "I am originally a countryman, what is there to pretend, Zhang Ke, I want to buy a few such silk quilts to go back, so that my father can sleep more comfortably." ”

"That's right!" Qiao Fu sat up suddenly: "The New Year is getting closer and closer, we should have three new inside and out, new clothes, new pants and new shoes, and buy a large cart of delicious food, it is best to tear down the old house and build a new one!" By the way, I saw that the rich people all had a stone on them, so let's buy ten or eight pieces and bring them with them, and see who dares to underestimate us. ”

The two brothers are in a situation where the poor don't know which leg to take, and Zhang Ke can only shake his head.

"Brother Gui, Qiao Fu, we have a little money, but good steel has to be used on the blade, after I go back, I am going to partner with Uncle Liu to triple the size of the blacksmith shop and specialize in producing ironware to make money. And we're going to join the army! ”

"Join the army?" Both brothers were taken aback.

Zhang Ke said: "Do you remember what I said when I came? Liaodong is already in chaos, how many things have we encountered on this trip to Guangning, can we do it without any strength in our hands? ”

The two brothers suddenly fell into deep thought, being a soldier is indeed not a good profession, licking blood with a knife, and being despised. Glaring, scratching his ears and cheeks, Qiao Fu suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Brother Ke, are you also going to join the army?"

"Of course."

"Hahaha, then what worry about me, I won't suffer if I follow you!"

Qiao Gui also smiled: "That's right, we are grasshoppers on a rope, advancing and retreating together." ”

The brothers finally unified their thoughts, and they were all exhausted to the extreme, and fell asleep. The three of them didn't sleep on the night they entered Quang Ninh, they were catching the king and bad water, selling things, and they were also in trouble. Zhang Ke was physically and mentally exhausted. I don't know how long I slept this night, and when he opened his eyes, it was sunshine outside.

Zhang Ke suddenly appeared that there seemed to be a dark shadow outside the door, he hurriedly dressed neatly, pushed open the door and saw that Dahan Thirteen was standing in front of the door, still dressed in single clothes, and didn't care about the cold wind at all.

"Sir, Zhang Ke is rude, please sit in the room!"

"Hahaha, no need, come with me to meet Grandpa Hong, he has been waiting for you since morning."

When Zhang Ke heard this, he nodded hurriedly, followed Thirteen, one after the other, to an elegant courtyard. Father-in-law Hong, dressed in civilian clothes, was standing under the grapevines, staring blankly.

Hearing the footsteps, Gonggong Hong turned his head suddenly, just in time to see Zhang Ke, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"The life-saving benefactor is here, our family has to thank you!"

Zhang Ke hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The people are ignorant and offended, so please don't blame your father-in-law." ”

"Hahaha, you're not ignorant, you're too smart. Did you see the identity of our family and want to slaughter it? ”

"That's right, if it weren't for the Mongols' sideways kicking, Xiao Minbao would have held the silver and snickered!"

Gonggong Hong smiled very happily: "Thirteen, let's see it, we think we are secretive, but in fact, we can see it with a little thought." Come sit in the house and let's talk. ”

Gonggong Hong is not as gloomy as the legend, on the contrary, he smiles very heartily. When they got to the house, they sat down. Gonggong Hong said first: "Our family will call you Zhang Ke, you did a good job yesterday, eliminated the conflict, maintained the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, and even eliminated a war disaster, which is a great contribution." ”

"Father-in-law, don't say that, with your identity, as long as you make a promise to the Mongols, they will definitely be able to let you go!"

Gonggong Hong smiled bitterly: "I won't hide it from you, our family and the thirteenth came to Liaodong on the orders of the above, and I wanted to pay a private visit to Weifu." On a whim, we wanted to buy a leather for our godfather, and we made such a big fuss! Yesterday, our family was really scared, and our identity was exposed in public, but I was afraid that it would be another disturbance, but fortunately, you were clever enough to resolve the trouble. ”

Thirteen said with a bitter face on the side: "Gonggong Hong, although yesterday's incident has been dealt with, there is no impermeable wall, but I am afraid that the news of our arrival has already been known." ”

Gonggong Hong smiled: "If you know, you know, fortunately, we didn't come for nothing." ”

As he spoke, Gonggong Hong took out a few silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table. Zhang Ke flashed his eyes and was taken aback, it was Wang Bad Water who made the fake silver ticket!

Gonggong Hong picked up one and said with a smile: "Zhang Ke, do you think this silver ticket was made by Wang Badshui?" Such a delicate silver ticket is more exquisite than a treasure banknote, how can a little liar have this ability? ”

Gonggong Hong said to himself, Zhang Ke's brain spun quickly, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and he was suddenly so frightened that he didn't dare to answer.

Gonggong Hong stared at Zhang Ke, and suddenly smiled: "Yesterday's white wolf skin is really good, our family bought it, this is three hundred taels of silver, you can take it!" ”

Gonggong Hong took out a few more silver tickets and said, "Don't worry, it's true!" ”

Zhang Ke hurriedly waved his hand: "Father-in-law, I talked about one hundred and fifty taels yesterday, and villains pay the most attention to the rules in business, I can't ask for more!" ”

"Hahaha, it's not too much, didn't you still take out three fake silver tickets yesterday?"

Zhang Ke shook his head firmly: "Gonggong Hong, it should be the small people of the small people, and I don't dare to ask for it if I am not killed!" ”

"It's a sincere young man, our family took back the silver ticket, let's take this gadget as a souvenir, but it's not allowed to refuse!" Gonggong Hong said and stuffed a string of Nanmu prayer beads into Zhang Ke's hand.
