Chapter 263: Recruitment of New Troops
"Even if you raise a butcher's knife, you are also compassionate."
Qin Kan's words seemed to be the most conclusive explanation for his order to kill more than 2,000 fans in Dongchang a few days ago.
There are Buddha and demons living in everyone's heart, and Buddha nature and demon nature determine the good and evil of deeds, so Qin Kan can be like an angel shining with holy brilliance when he does good, but he is like a heinous devil when he does evil, not only him, everyone has their own ulterior good and evil.
When Sage Kong wrote "Spring and Autumn", who could pat his chest and say that he didn't peek at the little widow next door taking a bath when he was tired of walking his legs?
Li Dongyang narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Now that you are ranked first among the nine tiger traitors in the court, is the so-called mercy ridiculous?" ”
Qin Kan arched his hand and asked with a smile: "Li Gong has been criticized by his confidant and old friend for decades, saying that you don't go to the stack and covet power, I don't know what kind of mood Li Gong felt when he just said 'a piece of ice heart in the jade pot'?" ”
Li Dongyang paused for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and smiled, the laughter was fierce, but it was a little relieved.
The greedy for power and the traitors of the court, everyone is a misunderstood type of person, this kind of person is clumsy, or disdainful to defend himself, so he has no choice but to become the finger of Wanfu.
Li Dongyang laughed for a while, turned his head to look at Qin Kan, and sighed infinitely: "The old man has gone through three dynasties, countless colleagues in the DPRK and China, and countless political enemies, but the person who really understands me today is actually a young man who everyone in the DPRK and China calls a traitor. ”
Li Dongyang sighed, and there was already an infinite gloom in his words, a generation of famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be exhausted at this moment.
"It's just the words 'clear conscience'." Qin Kan smiled.
I want to say goodbye to Liu Jian and Xie Qian, just because they are also famous ministers of Hongzhi, and they assisted Emperor Hongzhi to create a prosperous era in the Ming Dynasty with their own hands, and this alone is worthy of Qin Kan's respect, and it is also the reason why Qin Kan quietly ran outside the city to bid farewell to them today.
Those who should go have left, and those who stay have to continue to struggle, Liu Jian and Xie Qian don't understand, in fact, Qin Kan's dream is no different from them, he also hopes that the Ming Kingdom will be strong, the people will be rich, and the army will benefit, he wants to change this era, but the methods are different from Liu Jian and them, so they were regarded as traitors and heretics.
Qin Kan doesn't mind, this dynasty that has left too much resentment to future generations, because of his arrival, it will eventually become different, twenty or thirty years later, if Liu Jian and Xie Qian are still alive, Qin Kan is willing to invite them from their hometown to Jingshi, ask them to take a good look, and then give themselves and others a fair evaluation in this prosperous world.

After saying goodbye to Li Dongyang, Qin Kan did not return to the city, and Ding Shun led him to a very remote farm on the outskirts of Dongcheng.
The farm has no owner, a few days ago the East Factory Fanzi was in turmoil, some scum scum in the East Factory took the opportunity to sneak out of the city to scourge the neighbors, the owner of the farm died under the knives of the fans, the master's two thirteen-year-old daughters were also spoiled by the fans for two days and two nights, and so on Jinyiwei got the news, Ding Shun led people to rush over to kill the evil Fanzi, the Zhuangzi family of more than ten people have been killed by the hands of the fans, the two little sisters who are alive have been ravaged and scarred, after regaining their freedom, the two sisters are like beasts out of the cage, Bite off two mouthfuls of flesh from the face of the dead Fanzi, swallow it alive and bloodily, and then the two sisters threw themselves into the well one after the other.
After Qin Kan learned from Ding Shun's embarrassed tone about the tragic experience of the farm's family, two words burst out from between his teeth with a blushing face, "Beast!" ”
He once again confirmed that the decision to order the killing of Dongchang last time was right, Dongchang needed to be cleaned with blood, and more than 2,000 people died, and the common people did not know how many such tragedies were avoided. …,
It's good to really eliminate harm for the people.
The 500 teenagers selected by Ding Shun from the camp lived in this village.
Qin Kan rushed to the farm accompanied by Ding Shun, and five hundred teenagers dressed in rough blue cloth shirts, squatting or sitting scattered around the courtyard of Zhuangzi, each holding a bowl of porridge, and eating two bran and vegetable nests.
Ding Shun pushed open the bamboo fence outside the courtyard, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Get up for Lao Tzu!" Is the Starving Ghost reincarnated? When we adults come, we all get up and salute them! ”
The teenagers looked suspicious, stood up in twos and threes, Ding Shun's eyes widened, and he kicked a hesitant teenager far away, and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.
Qin Kan frowned, and Ding Shun hurriedly smiled: "Don't mind, my lord, this is how the training of soldiers in the army is trained, and if you don't fight, you won't have a long memory." ”
Qin Kan had no choice but to turn his gaze to the teenagers, and saw that their eyes were a little frightened, their bodies were thin, thin and withered, and their spirits were very depressed.
"Are these people clean?"
Ding Shun said: "Very clean, last year there were a lot of natural disasters, floods in the south of the Yangtze River, drought in eastern Liaodong, these are the children of local farmers, there is no way to live so they have to leave their hometowns, some of the family members have starved to death, some are still in the camp and wait for relief, the next call will rush to come, just to eat one more bite of food, or eat less food at home, let the family eat a few more bites." ”
Qin Kan was inexplicably sad when he heard this, looking at these teenagers, who were the same age as Zhu Houzhao, they were also young men, they lived extremely luxurious days in front of the emperor every day, and they were sad and said that this was not the life he wanted, and these teenagers in front of him didn't know what life was, they just wanted to live.
Next time, I must bring Zhu Houzhao and then get a good education.
"Ding Shun, treat them well, these people will be my old team in the future, go back to Beizhen Fusi to pay 10,000 taels of silver, buy a few pigs every day, let them be fed and clothed, and first raise their bodies before talking about military training."
"Yes. These teenagers are so blessed to meet kind-hearted people like adults. Ding Shun patted a sycophant, and then asked, "My lord, does the emperor know about the existence of these teenagers?" In the future, will they be under the control of the Jinyi Guard, or will they be managed by the Ministry of War, the Imperial Horse Warden or the regimental battalion? ”
Qin Kan understood what he meant, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said with a smile: "No one knows about the existence of these teenagers, I haven't mentioned it to the emperor yet, strictly speaking, you are now a private recruiter, and you are suspected of rebellion, you have a big deal......"
Ding Shun was stunned, and his old face turned green all of a sudden.
"Frightened, huh? The crotch is wet, right? Are you going to roll up and run away? ”
"Your Excellency...... Don't, don't play with me! Ding Shun said with a pale face.
Qin Kanha smiled and said, "Look at your scared stupidity, although I am used to cheating people, I will not pit you old subordinates, don't worry, Your Majesty will know the way tomorrow." ”
After a pause, Qin Kan said in a deep voice: "Today, His Majesty is still martial, these young people are not only my old team, but also the old team of His Majesty, their nominal supreme commander is not me, but His Majesty, if nothing else, they will be the real Son of Heaven in the future, and they will ...... in the future They will set foot on the battlefield, for His Majesty to conquer all over the country, expand the territory, after a few years, their future is limitless, so Ding Shun, you have to treat them well, each of them may become a good general and a famous general who can fight well in my Ming Dynasty. ”
Ding Shun looked ignorant and said: "My lord, just these thin bamboo poles, like hungry guys for eight lifetimes, will they be generals in the future?" ”
"Definitely! Because I'm here. ”
"Your Excellency, ...... When others become big officials, they either work hard to make money, or they try to win over subordinates, check and balance power, and consolidate positions, but you gather some young people to train soldiers, what is it for? ”…,
Qin Kan looked up at the sky, the sky was very blue, and it was blue.
"I, I just want to leave some seeds of hope for Daming, and then water them with my heart, let them take root and sprout, many of my dreams, I need them to help me realize."
A long gift list rested on the table of the celebrant Liu Jin, in addition to the silver, there were also rare antiques of various names on the gift list, Liu Jin read it word by word, his expression was quite happy, and the hissing laughter in his throat and eyes made his scalp tingle.
Once upon a time, he, an old eunuch who was not well-known in the palace, was able to sit in the position of the palm seal of the celebrant today, worthy of the name of the Ming Dynasty, so that the people who chased power and greed flocked to him, and there were countless people who handed him a name card and a gift list these days.
The Ming Dynasty now has a treasury income of only millions of taels, Zhu Houzhao only said a few days ago in the court to repair the garden, countless ministers fiercely opposed, the household book Hanwen is even more tearful, saying that the treasury is not enough to make ends meet, His Majesty is really not suitable for arrogance and extravagance, and the treasury is more and more tight, you must know how frugal the first emperor Xiaozong was during his reign, a dragon robe is worn out and reluctant to change it, not to mention the luxury things such as patrolling the garden......
Han Wen cried bitterly, as if Zhu Houzhao was guilty of repairing the garden, the emperors who repaired the garden in history were not good emperors, and His Majesty could not repair the garden if he wanted to be a good emperor, otherwise he would be a faint monarch, which was a harbinger of the collapse of etiquette and music......
Because of this incident, Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he turned his face with the ministers again, but the ministers stalked their necks and looked like loyal ministers would rather die than give in.
The court is crying poor one by one, but Liu Jin has received more than one million taels of silver from many ministers in private these days, and these silver have made Liu Jin's heart tremble, and he has never tried the taste of development.
Frightened and frightened, Liu Jin seemed to be unable to control his hands, and he still accepted the gift slip when someone handed him a gift.
Today's gift list is quite interesting, not the content on the gift list, but the person who gave the gift.
The gift list is the last to fall, and the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials is Jiao Fang.
PS: I'm sorry, I was drunk last night, and I lay down dizzy, and I was going to wake up in the middle of the night to continue coding, but I slept until noon, and I didn't even send a leave note......
Today's three watches can be regarded as making up for the chapter owed last night...... (To be continued.)
