Zheng Guobao put Wu Tiande's hands together, let him sit aside, and then asked: "Listen to the accent, General Wu is not like a native of Hengzhou, you are probably not a local military guard, right?" ”

Wu Tiande hurriedly said: "Uncle Guo has good ears, the last will be the person of Wukantou in Yiwu, Zhejiang, in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Qi Shaobao Yiwu recruited soldiers, and I and my uncle were recruited as soldiers to stay in the camp." In the 38th year of Jiajing, he was promoted to 100 households because of his merits, and then he was promoted to the rank of deputy 1,000 households with ordinary achievements, and he is now the general manager of Hengzhou. ”

Zheng Guobao knew that this was a guest soldier, so he asked: "I heard that there is a general Wu Rucheng Wu in the Zhejiang army, I don't know what to call you?" ”

Wu Tiande said: "That's the uncle of the last general." ”

When Zheng Guobao heard this, he got up and saluted: "It turned out that it was the old department of the Qi family army that fought in Taizhou in the bloody war and broke the Japanese in person. ”

Wu Tiande jumped up from the chair as if he had a spring, knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle Guo, what are you doing?" How can the little ones have the face to bring up the little credit, and if you give this big gift, don't you want to kill the small ones? ”

At that time, Qi Jiguang Yiwu recruited troops and killed the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese invaders were famous and fearless. Later, he turned to Jimen, and vomited blood from the saddle of Tumen Khan, and made great achievements. As far as the dynasty is concerned, it is called a figure like a golden beam in the sea, and it has earned the good name of Yu Long, Qihu, Dongli and Xima. It's just that he was unlucky and chose the wrong backer.

On that day, Zhang Juzheng was supplemented, and Qi Jiguang had to write Zhang Jiangling, the prime minister, and the Zhang family's disciples You Qi and Yao Ba were brothers. He also sent Zhang Xiangye a sea dog kidney and a daughter-in-law, and transferred two shotgun teams to protect Zhang Juzheng's entry and exit, and served as a guard next to the 32-person mobile single.

Scratch someone's back. Zhang Juzheng also vigorously supported Qi Jiguang, training the new army to ask for money and food, and all expenses were responded to, and there was never the slightest difficulty. The governors, imperial historians, and even eunuchs who did not cooperate well with Qi Jiguang were all replaced, and a major criterion for being an official in Jizhen was not to offend Qi Shaobao, which was also an important factor in Qi Jiguang's meritorious service.

However, since Zhang Jiangling died, the new policies were abolished, and Zhang Siwei and other old party figures counterattacked, Qi Jiguang was naturally affected. And unlike Li Chengliang, he didn't run Jimen into his own basic plate, and he didn't know the truth of raising wolves, so he broke the bones of the Mongols at one time, so that Tumen Khan did not dare to invade the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. And Li Chengliang, who fights every year and wins every year, is known as the prosperity of military exploits, and there is no one in the past two hundred years. Qi Jiguang has not fought for more than ten years, and the court bigwigs thought that it was almost the same whether there was Qi Nantang in Jizhen or not, so they transferred him to the general army of Guangdong and cut his military power.

As for the vast number of Zhejiang soldiers, they have become motherless children, and they can't even guarantee military salaries and food. In the tenth year of Wanli, Ma Wenying and Liu Tingyong, soldiers of Zhejiang in Hangzhou, led troops to mutiny because the governor Wu Shanyan cut one-third of the military salary for no reason. As a result, he was brutally killed, and more than 100 people were killed. After this incident, the imperial court became more and more vigilant against the Zhejiang soldiers, and scattered them all over the country, so that they could not echo each other, and even if there were changes, they could be suppressed in time.

Wu Tiande was beaten to Hengzhou all the way, nominally a garrison, but in fact he had a hard time. The military salary has not been released for two months, the five hundred Erlang army is unstable, and the prefect of Hengzhou also sees that this army is not pleasing to the eye, and several times he asks the governor of Huguang, Shao Majesty, to disband this Zhejiang army. However, Governor Shao absorbed the lessons of the Hangzhou Mutiny, ignored this request, and let Hengzhou solve it on his own in terms of military salaries.

This time, Bai Siwen wrote to the urgency, not mentioning Zheng Guobao, only saying that he was investigating the news that a large number of thieves intended to loot the Liu family, a wealthy family in the county. The small soldiers in his county were outnumbered, unable to resist, and asked the prefect to help suppress them, and the prefect of Hengzhou rolled his eyes, and threw this hot potato to Hengshan County, and when the hundred people arrived in Hengshan County, they did not plan to let them go. When the time comes, you will eat in Hengshan, which can be regarded as relieving the pressure on Hengzhou Mansion.

Zheng Guobao has great feelings for this team, and after listening to Wu Tiande's description of the hardships of the Zhejiang soldiers, he was very dissatisfied. "How can this be true? The imperial court has always been kind to the meritorious ministers, and the Zhejiang soldiers have sweat and horse military exploits, so they should enjoy the grace of the imperial court, how can they be treated so poorly? When I get back, I'm going to get justice for you!" Bai Daling, how much fine grain is there in our county? Take it out, and give the Zhejiang soldiers a good meal tomorrow, so that they can follow me to get the thief. ”

Bai Siwen hurriedly said: "The small people in Hengshan County are poor, and they are rich and strong, and the treasury is very empty. is the official, and he also eats coarse grain and fine grain, but since Uncle Guo said, no matter how difficult it is, I have to make up a meal of fine grain, and take care of a full meal for the soldiers and sons of Zhejiang. ”

Zheng Guobao took out the money again and asked Jinyiwei to go out to buy pigs and dogs, and kill pigs and dogs tomorrow to accompany the Zhejiang soldiers. Wu Tiande's mood was agitated, and he said: "Uncle Guo, rest assured, the little ones are all old soldiers who have fought old battles, and no matter how fierce those bandits are, they are not afraid." ”

Zheng Guobao said: "General Wu, I will also tell you the truth." This group of strongmen is from the Songshan faction, and behind them are Dongchang and Zhensongjun, if you are afraid, just say it, I am not reluctant. ”

Wu Tiande glared at Bai Siwen, Bai Siwen also heard the truth for the first time, and cried bitterly in his heart: I knew that these two great gods were fighting, and I would definitely not get involved.

Wu Tiande originally had the intention to refuse, but he also knew that this was the last chance for his army to turn over. If he refuses Uncle Guo, then his army may rot in Hengzhou, and finally disperse because of lack of pay and food, and also fulfill the wish of the court boss.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Guo, don't worry, my old Wu has already gotten mixed up to this point, what's so scary?" As long as you say a word, you can kill whoever you want me to kill, and you can kill whoever you want me to kill! Our hundred and ten brothers only know who pays us and who takes care of our food, and we have no other care. ”

Zheng Guobao nodded and said, "That's good!" Go down, this errand is done, and I will guarantee you a good future. Your military salary is nine cents of silver a month, and I will give you four months' military salary first. ”

Under the dual effect of silver and official hats, Wu Tiande and his troops naturally defected to Zheng Guobao's side. Dongchang is certainly not easy to mess with, is it easy to deal with Uncle Guo? Moreover, Uncle Guo made it clear that it was not Dongchang Fanzi who came, but just the Songshan faction. In other words, they are not allowed to fight directly with the East Factory, but just to fight a group of subordinates of the East Factory, and when the time comes, they will pretend to be stupid and only talk about the gangsters who fight. With the support of the country's uncle, it may not cause a big disaster.

Liu Zhengfeng's hand-washing conference was indeed pompous, that is, Bai Siwen was dignified and knew the county, and he couldn't hire a qualified chef to prepare a banquet for Uncle Guo, not to mention, even the small flags of the local small flag office and a group of brocade clothes went to the Liu family as a welcome person. Lying on the bed, Zheng Guobao calculated in his heart that Liu Zhengfeng was obviously a local hero, and even the local government was afraid of him, if he was well prepared, he might not have the ability to fight with Songshan. It's better if he can't make a move or not, anyway, he has already sent someone to pass the letter over, if he can teach the Songshan faction a lesson by himself, he won't need to use force himself.

The next day, Zheng Guobao made some arrangements, changed into civilian clothes, and was escorted by eight brocade clothes to the Liu family's mansion. At this time, when the sky was approaching, I saw that outside the gate of Liu's house, the carriages and horses were Yingmen, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes of the three mountains and five mountains were actually five or six hundred people. Sun Dayong said: "This Liu Sanye seems to have a wide range of contacts, it is really today's Meng Wei, there are so many people and horses, and there are hundreds of people from the Songshan faction, I don't think I may dare to do it." ”

Zheng Guobao shook his head and said, "What's the use of a group of people who eat and drink?" The soldiers sent by Songshan are all soldiers who can fight, and this group of people can't be counted on. If you want to fight, you have to rely on the tenants of the Liu family. ”

The disciple guarding the door saw that Zheng Guobao had an extraordinary demeanor and was always with him, all of whom were powerful people, so he only regarded him as the young leader of which gang. According to the chivalrous story and the record of the commentary, the biggest hobby of the second generation is to find trouble and slap people in the face. Today is a day of great joy, and no one wants to cause trouble because of himself, so he is very polite to such a person, and he doesn't even dare to check the post, so he invites him in.

There are disciples of Liu Mansion leading everyone into the table, although no one knows Zheng Guobao, but looking at his style, he also knows that he must be a rich person, so he led to the table close to the seat, ready to sit with several elders in the rivers and lakes. At this moment, I saw Liu Zhengfeng wearing a brand-new familiar robe, hurriedly rushing out of the inner hall, and greeting all friends. Suddenly, when he saw Zheng Guobao, his face changed. I saw him lift the long robe, carry the Hengshan faction of the best kung fu, take three steps and do two steps, two steps as a walk, and come to Zheng Guobao in three or two steps. Without waiting for Zheng Guobao to speak, his hands had already clasped Zheng Guobao's wrists, "Virtuous nephew, why don't you say anything when you come?" Your dad has always been nice? Come on, let's talk in the back room. As he spoke, he pulled Zheng Guobao and left, and the few attendants wanted to stop him, but Zheng Guobao gestured with his eyes and stayed where he was.

Zheng Guobao only felt like two iron tongs in his hands, and he couldn't help himself, and was led through the patio to the backyard study. Along the way, when the maid and maid saw the old man's appearance, they hurriedly hid to the side in fright, not daring to say more. When he pulled the person to the study, Liu Zhengfeng threw Zheng Guobao inside, kicked the door shut, and then said viciously: "Beast! Do you dare to come to me, do I really dare not cut you? ”

Zheng Guobao's road is like a cloud driving fog, he was thrown by this, and he fell into seven meat and eight vegetarians, and secretly admired Liu Sanye's treasure knife is not old, and his kung fu is really good. Seeing that Liu Sanye was angry, Zheng Guobao was not in a hurry or annoyed, first saluted respectfully, and said: "Junior, Zheng Guobao, I have seen Old Man Liu." The former is thanks to your righteous help, great kindness, toothless unforgettable, this time, is to repay the kindness. ”

Liu Zhengfeng snorted, "Don't talk nonsense." I said at the beginning, the girl of my Liu family, if you don't marry and settle down, unless you are in the middle and upper ranks, don't want to be my aunt. Could it be that you are already in high school now? ”

Zheng Guobao shook his head and said: "No, not only do I raise people, but I can't even participate in the imperial examination." ”

Liu Zhengfeng heard this, and pointed angrily with his hand: "Zheng Guobao!" I have long seen that you are a loser who does not do his job, leaving books and not reading, and going to learn how to sell smuggled salt. Sure enough, now even Xiucai's fame has been mixed up? Then what are you still doing at my house? But since you're here, I'll let Jing'er see you later, you have to make it clear, break off the relationship between the two of you, and let her find a mother-in-law as soon as possible. For your uncle's sake, I won't embarrass you, and I will take care of your future in the future. ”

Zheng Guobao still said respectfully: "It's not a secret, the younger generation came this time to ask for Sister Jing as a concubine." ”

When Liu Zhengfeng heard the word concubine, his eyes were cold, he split his chest, grabbed his jacket collar, and raised his right palm: "Junior, dare to bully each other like this, I will split you!" ”

At this moment, I saw the door of the study open, and a woman with a thin waist and long legs, picturesque eyebrows, and about twenty years old stepped in, saluted Liu Zhengfeng first, and then said, "Dad, why are you still here?" Outside, Mr. Zhang came, but no one received him. Do you want Uncle Fang to receive it? ”

When Liu Zhengfeng heard Lord Zhang, as if he had fallen under some spell, he threw Zheng Guobao away and said, "Jing'er, don't pay attention to this beast!" When I went back, my father cleaned him up, and I went to greet Master Zhang first. As he spoke, he lifted his robe and walked out.

Liu Jing saw her father go out, closed the door for the second time, and glanced at Zheng Guobao resentfully, "You came, and you didn't come to me, you went directly to see my father, his temper, don't you know?" ”

Zheng Guobao saw the jade man again, remembered the charming past in his heart, only felt that his heart was beating wildly, hurriedly sorted out his clothes, came to Liu Jing, and said affectionately: "Sister Jing, how have you been doing in the past few years?" ”

I saw Liu Jing's wonderful eyes flowing, full of infinite affection, gently raised her slender jade wrist, put it on Zheng Guobao's shoulder, and said softly: "National treasure, I'll be fine when I see you." It's just that I'm outside, and I didn't hear clearly, what's going on with that concubine? When she said the last word, she used her arms hard, Zheng Guobao leaned forward, Liu Jing took advantage of the situation to raise her knees, and hit Zheng Guobao's lower abdomen, and a scream sounded in the study.
