Chapter 813: Bear the Burden of Humiliation

The young man suddenly said heroically: "Ban Dingyuan has always been a model for scholars, and today is chaotic, and the people are poisonous......

Yao Qisheng's words were heroic and dry, so that in the end, he was very excited, his face was red, and even his sentences were a little unsmooth. This made Li Xin greatly sigh, the folk once widely circulated the useless words of scholars, in fact, who knows that my Han family scholars have always been Yunwen Yunwu, but not just dead readers, nerds who read dead books, the kind of corrupt Confucians who think that they want to govern the world after reading a few Analects, are obviously overkill and seriously dwarfed.

Even Niu Jinsong on the side clapped his hands and praised: "This little brother said beautifully, but with the appearance of your little arms and thin legs, you have to raise it for another two years and then invest in the coin, don't even hold the muskets of our three guards!" ”

He is not alarmist, most of the muskets are around ten catties, if you count the gunpowder projectiles and Yanling knives and other weapons and equipment on his back, the weight will be at least thirty-five catties. Walking a few miles under such a load may be fine for the vast majority of people, but if you do a long march, you will have to eliminate a large number of people. Therefore, first of all, he looked at Yao Qisheng's thin and short stature, and he didn't think that this young man could be capable of such a level of weight-bearing marching.

Of course, this is only one of them, and there is another point that he is inconvenient to say, if a person like this who bumped into him halfway and came from an unknown source rashly took him in, who can guarantee that this is not a spy sent by some people with ulterior motives? After all, there has always been a saying among the people that "a good man should not be a soldier". In short, it's better to be careful, and he specially gave Li Xin a secret look, who knew that Li Xin didn't seem to understand his eyes, and still went his own way. And the young man also opened his mouth to refute Niu Jinsong's doubts about him.

"Isn't it enough to show how good you are when you are seriously injured and captured? Moreover, the ruler is long, the inch is short, the fool is hard, the wise is attentive, if the general can let the subordinate join your army, the subordinate will definitely let the general see the value of the subordinate......"

Yao Qisheng's words were extremely sharp, and there were many suspicions of bragging, and Niu Jinsong was stunned for a while, he was already good at language, and he was originally fighting for a few sentences, but he was soon unable to say a word at the top, and his face was flushed.

However, Li Xin couldn't help laughing, these old subordinates, especially veteran generals such as Xiang Niu Jinsong, were always making all kinds of noise in his ears, and he didn't want to argue with them, so he used to give these people the problem of speaking on all kinds of things. Now there is a sharp-tongued man who can cure them.

However, Yao Qisheng's words are full of boasting, in fact, he is not to blame. Nowadays, there is no one who speaks really and realistically, and exaggeration is a kind of atmosphere, one can speak amazingly, and the other can quickly achieve results, as for actually sitting down, it is true to be able to achieve half of what is said. For example, Yuan Chonghuan, who was unjustly killed by Emperor Chongzhen, didn't he also boast of such nonsense as Pingliao for three or five years? The most interesting thing is that Emperor Chongzhen knew that he couldn't level Liao within a few years, and he still had the attitude of trying it out and making it Pingliao.

This is true for gamblers, but the king of a country, at the helm of a big country, is such a child's play, under internal and external troubles, how can the country not die? Therefore, he is not wronged for being the king of the fallen country.

Li Xin interrupted Yao Qisheng's rhetoric, "Okay! Let Ben Shuai take you in, as long as you can do the following, you can! ”

A spark of excitement flashed in Yao Qisheng's eyes, "Please give the order of the Marquis of Zhenyu, just go down and do it!" "For this marquis, it has been thunderous in the past year, needless to say that the north defeated the Tartars, even the means of cleaning up those powerful figures in Jiangnan are enough to write a commentary for entertainment.

Originally, he only planned to hand over the captive widow to the officials and soldiers for disposal, but after discovering that it was the banner of the marquis, he temporarily changed his mind and made the decision to join the army. His intuition told him that this town marquis would never be a thing in the pond in the future, and that he could meet it on this barren beach today, wasn't it a clear path that the sky pointed out to him?

As a result, Li Xin asked Niu Jinsong to bring all the equipment required by an ordinary sergeant of the Three Guards, from muskets to ammunition and Yanling knives, no less than forty catties. This is indeed a bit too heavy for Yao Qisheng at this time.

Seeing the pile of things on the ground, Yao Qisheng was dumbfounded. In fact, Li Xincheng felt embarrassed for him, just to kill this person's spirit, even in the Three Guards Army, not everyone needs to be so burdened, and civilian positions such as clerks and clerks in the army do not need to be like this, and they do not have to go into battle to kill the enemy unless they are forced to do so when they are in battle.

The young man is very competitive, since he has already released bold words before, if he is breaking his promise and getting fat at this time, how can he lose this face? Niu Jinsong saw that Yao Qisheng's face suddenly became extremely ugly, so he teased a few words: "Little brother, don't be reckless, it may not be a problem for these things to resist walking a few miles on your body, but we are going to march for a long time, can you stand it?" ”

This sentence seems to be persuading him to retreat in the face of difficulties, but in fact it is a radical method, unless the other party is shameless, otherwise even if he breaks his teeth, he has to swallow it in his stomach. Li Xin said secretly, this cow egg will also play with his heart now, and it can be seen how Yao Qisheng will deal with it. If he retreats, he doesn't have to take him in.

Now he is just a young man who has achieved success and has not yet achieved fame, and Li Xin also believes that this person will no longer have the opportunity to work for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after all, with his own appearance, the wings of the butterfly have long changed the historical fan he was familiar with beyond recognition.

Yao Qisheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and put all the foot soldiers on his back one by one, and then said to Li Xin in a tone that was different from the previous rhetoric: "I am willing to start with the three guards and one soldier!" ”

"Good! Sure enough, it's a good son, regardless of age! ”

Li Xin praised it from the bottom of his heart, being able to face difficulties is worthy of admiration no matter what. Even Niu Jinsong was impressed by Yao Qisheng, and secretly felt that although this person had the sour and rotten atmosphere of a scholar, this courage and determination still made him more or less have a good impression of him.

Then Niu Jinsong casually mentioned the disposal of the widow, but Li Xin changed his mind and did not want to execute him.

"This person may have a good identity, and he may know the secret news of the Japanese Bandits, but he can stay for the time being, maybe it will be useful in the future. Just let this little brother Yao take care of it! ”

Of course, what Li Xin thinks is far less high-sounding, imagine that a person has lost his male roots and the dignity of the man he represents, and living may be a more painful thing than death. Li Xin is different from the people of this era, no matter how much he emphasizes equal treatment, because he comes from the words and deeds of that era since childhood, he will always be exposed to prejudice in his heart.

So this "prejudice" happened to save Tagawa Emon, who had become a eunuch. Of course, at this time, Tagawa Emon was also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, he knew that all his ideals had been crushed by the Han boy, and now he was just looking for an opportunity to fight, and maybe he could use a hundred people to end his short and brilliant life.

Hatred and instinctive desire to survive were intertwined, like an iron brush, brushing his heart again and again, making him feel painful and unable to die. The honor of a samurai does not allow him to judge himself, that is the fate of the guilty, and he is not guilty. The highest honor that belongs to a samurai is a wonderful death under the sword in the hands of an opponent.

However, this thought made him feel a wave of desperate sorrow in his heart, because the object of his revenge was a thin-looking Han boy, and it was obviously an insult to him to be the target of such a despicable boy who was powerless and only knew how to sneak attack.

But this revenge is not avenged, and he absolutely can't die willingly, and after repeated entanglements, Tagawa Emon was brought to a young general dressed in front of him. He knew that there was only one chance to make a move, and at the last moment, he made up his mind and decided to target this young general. He was like a wounded leopard, gathering strength, waiting for another fleeting opportunity.

"Where are you from, who are you from, and how many Han people have you killed?"

Li Xin's simple inquiry was quickly translated by a general in the army who knew the language of the Japanese people. Tagawaemon cautiously replied: "The villain is from Tagawaemon of Hizen Hirado Island, and he has never killed anyone...... The first lie in his life made his heart beat faster and his face hot. However, due to the blood loss, Tagawa Emon's face was still pale. He knew that he could not be executed at this time, and if the fact that only one person in a hundred people was killed was revealed, the angry Ming Dynasty people would definitely kill him in revenge.

So, he tried his best to disguise himself as cowardly. Including Li Xin and Niu Jinsong and others easily believed Tagawa Emon's words, if he wasn't a cowardly person, how could he be cut off by a thin young man like Yao Qisheng, and then captured alive?

According to his understanding, most of the Japanese in the Wako were poor ronin, and Japanese civilians did not have surnames, and this person not only had a name and a surname, but from his name, it seemed that he or someone from his father and ancestors had served as an official position of Emon. In other words, this person is at least a small nobleman who has not been in existence for a long time.

It's just that Tagawaemon looks like a full bear bag, which is far from the image of the tough and vicious Japanese in Li Shin's impression. Perhaps, those images have been imagined and processed by the world, after all, they are also human beings, and they are also made of flesh and blood, and there will inevitably be this kind of cowardly coward.
