Tana still followed Qin Kan on the road.

Along the way, Tana's expression was unpleasant, and Qin Kan was also unpleasant, and they both hated the feeling of being forcibly twisted into melons.

The winter in Saibei is very cold, Qin Kan has not recovered from a serious illness, but the speed of the march is very fast, his mood is very anxious, although the Beijing division and the Guanwai are not far away, but the communication conditions in these years are too backward, even if the 800 miles of expedited military post is running day and night, it will take ten days to get the news at the earliest, and there are too many changes in ten days to master.

I don't know how Jin Liu will cry when he learns the news that he died in battle, Du Yan probably won't cry, a long-term husband and wife, they know each other, they don't see people alive or dead, Du Yan probably won't easily believe that she has died in battle.

The north wind was bitter and howling, mixed with a little grain of sand, and it made my cheeks hurt.

Qin Kan covered his mouth and coughed twice, tightened the soft and warm sable fur on his neck, and his pale face flushed a little.

Tana, who was riding a high-headed horse, accompanied her, and when she saw Qin Kan's weak appearance, she couldn't help but snort heavily, a black shadow flashed, and Qin Kan took it in his hand, but it turned out to be a black bear skin made of good nitrate.

In addition to the endless grasslands in Liaodong, there are also many dense and verdant forests, which are the habitats of black bears.

Qin Kanleng paused for a moment, and then smiled at her: "Thank you, Miss Tana." ”

Tana pursed her mouth and said, "You Han people are really weak, you fall down when the wind blows, and you don't look like the men on our grassland at all......"

Qin Kan sighed: "Miss Tana, you have to figure it out. I am not only a Han Chinese, but also a patient. ”

"Is the patient amazing?" Tana gave him a hard look.

Qin Kan muttered, "Are Mongolian women so unreasonable? No wonder Hua Dang wants to push her to me, I have such a daughter, and I will definitely not hesitate to push it to others......"

"Hey, Dog Officer, your men told me about the battle of Liaohe, although you are not strong enough, I have to say that you behaved like a warrior in that battle, better than I imagined."

It's rare to hear this woman say a good word. Although it is erected. At least it's a good word for erection.

Qin Kan's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he sighed a little dissatisfied: "Since I am like a warrior, you shouldn't call me 'dog official' anymore......"

"Except for that war, you're still a bad dog officer in peacetime." Tana sneered and laughed.

…………

…………

This march did not encounter any enemy situation. Not to mention the cavalry of the Tartars. I didn't even touch the cockroach Ringing Horse, who didn't have long eyes.

After the battle of Liaohe, only more than 100 of the 500 young soldiers remained. And most of them were wounded, but they walked in the ranks with their heads held high, albeit covered in scars. However, Ye Jinquan's military posture and appearance were still meticulously executed, and they walked in the team holding high the banner of Qincha, like arrogant swans, becoming a beautiful scenery in the army.

Qin Kan looked at them with pity, his expression thoughtful.

"Ding Shun ......"

"Your Excellency."

"The first thing you have to do after returning to Beijing is to go to the homeless camp to select people, and gather 500 young soldiers, and no one should be missing."

"Yes......" Ding Shun hesitated for a moment and said: "My lord, although these teenagers fought hard in the first battle of Liaohe, in terms of physical strength and fighting skills with the Tartars, they are still very different from ordinary sergeants, is it necessary to recruit young soldiers again?" ”

Qin Kan nodded: "It's very necessary, after this battle, aren't there more than a hundred teenagers still alive?" Presumably, there is something called the 'soul of the army,' which has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of more than 100 people, and in the future, no matter whether the army is expanded or reduced, as long as one veteran is alive, this spirit will not be extinguished, and for an army, this spirit is the most important. This young soldier can be cultivated. Ding Shun, you have to treat them well, I still say the same thing, the future is not far away, these teenagers will shine in my Ming land. ”

These words were a bit deep, and Ding Shun seemed to understand whether he understood or not.

Looking at the group of teenagers in front of him who were still energetic after the war, facing the howling north wind and trying to straighten up and hold high the dragon flag, Qin Kan said deeply: "Phoenix Nirvana, break and then stand, setbacks are the best teachers in life, they are still for them, and they are still for me." ”

Ding Shun smiled and said: "My lord, what you said I barely understand a little, no matter what, I will do whatever you say, it is always right." When I returned to Beijing, I went to the homeless camp to choose people, just like the original selection, I chose a clean family background, and there was nothing bad about it. ”

After a pause, Ding Shun glanced behind him, lowered his voice and said, "My lord, did this Tana really take her home and fill in the third lady?" I'm afraid your lady of the main room ......"

Qin Kan scratched his head irritably: "People should buy one get one free for promotion, and if you have to stuff her to me, what can I do?" ”

"My lord, it's better to find a way to drive her back to the grassland, otherwise your wife will make trouble there, and I'm afraid the house will be restless."

"Makes sense......" Qin Kan thought thoughtfully: "Let's do it, when you set up camp tonight, when she falls asleep, you throw two poison gas bombs into her tent, smoke her to the ground, and then send someone to send her back to the Duoyan camp, just say that she is sick because she is not accustomed to water and soil......"

Ding Shun's cheeks twitched: "My lord, she is your savior......"

Qin Kan was stunned, and then sighed: "Yes, it's really a bit unsophisticated...... Let me think of something else. ”

***************************************************************

A horse came north and galloped into Beijing.

Inside the celebrant prison, Liu Jin was wearing a golden silk python robe, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his demeanor was very leisurely, since he learned that Qin Kan was dead, Liu Jin had maintained such an expression in the past few days, and the pleasure of the thorn in his heart after it was suddenly pulled out made him feel relaxed from the inside out.

Qin Kan is dead, looking at the world and the court, apart from the current emperor, who is still qualified to be his Liu Jin's enemy?

Not far in front of Liu Jin, a middle-aged thin man was sitting respectfully. The man was dressed in a scarlet robe, with a square face, and he was talented, and he could be called handsome and graceful.

Daming has a very perverted rule as an official, that is, the selected officials must be handsome, handsome, and let the boss look at you pleasing to the eye, pleasing to the eye, many ugly but talented scholars, their future is often blocked at this juncture. So every time the pilgrimage is above. The people who were all seen were middle-aged handsome guys, elderly handsome guys, all of them with clear eyebrows and dignified appearances. It's no coincidence that this kind of handsome guy is here. Because it is basically impossible for someone who is not handsome to appear on the golden palace of the court.

It is said that this regulation was set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. But Zhu Yuanzhang himself was born with a protruding forehead, a high chin, but a collapsed nose and sunken eyes, looking like a leaky ball, and the ugly-faced Emperor Taizu Gao set such perverted rules. In addition to inspiring yourself, I also tested my psychological endurance by the way.

It's a pity that the test of psychological endurance should probably fail, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't stand it in the late Hongwu year, so he killed batch after batch of ministers in the court like cutting leeks, and the history books recorded it were to clear the obstacles for the descendants of the Zhu family, but who can guarantee that he has no other reason?

What would an ugly ghost feel when he watched the handsome guys of the Manchu Dynasty talk about state affairs in high spirits every day?

The handsome guy sitting in front of Liu Jin is named Zhang Cai, who is the second-class jinshi of Hongzhi for three years, and only became an inconspicuous official director after the title of the gold list, and has been depressed and unwilling, and the director of the ministry has been fifteen years, until this year Liu Jin gained power, Zhang Cai also gave Liu Jin a new policy proposition on reforming the old and pushing the new at the same time as a gift, Liu Jin's culture is not high, coupled with the lack of power in vain, the lack of talents around him, Zhang Cai's splendid article suddenly moved him, so he was shocked by heaven and introduced as a confidant in life, And Zhang Cai soon rose to the right hand of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and often regarded himself as Liu Jin's staff in private.

Looking at Liu Jin's proud appearance, Zhang Cai sighed softly.

Qin Kan is dead, it doesn't mean that Liu Jin can sit back and relax, the ministers in the court are by no means chickens to be slaughtered by him, but it's a pity that Liu Jin only takes Qin Kan as the only fierce rival in his life, and the rest of the ministers are just chickens and dogs in his eyes, how can such a mentality become a big thing, how to stretch Zhang Cai's ambitions?

"Ming Gong ......" Zhang Cai arched his hand towards Liu Jin, and stopped talking.

Liu Jin opened his eyes, and said with a sharp smile: "Shang Qian, your method of evaluating officials is really good, I don't know if I don't know the way, it turns out that there are so many corpses in the imperial court, the Taicang treasury of the imperial court has been exhausted, and the local officials below have looted the people's fat to fatten themselves, but the music handed to the Jingshi is all crying poor, yesterday the miscellaneous family ruthlessly set up the political envoys of Fujian and Sichuan, hum, every year the amount of 20,000 taels of silver per silver mine can't be paid, and what else is said that the veins have long been exhausted, is it a fool to be a miscellaneous family?" ”

"I don't know what Ming Gong did with these two political envoys?"

Liu Jin smiled proudly: "Of course, it is to recall them first, and then punish them with silver, and punish them severely, and finally order Xichang Fanzi to take the lock into Beijing, and I don't know what to do, the miscellaneous family recently figured out a new torture instrument, called a heavy flail, weighing one hundred and fifty catties, and after putting it on those criminals who are not long-eyed, they can be crushed to death in less than two hours......

After a pause, Liu Jin showed a proud look: "Now in the Daming Domain, my Liu Jin's words are out of the imperial gate and spread all over the world, who dares not to obey?" ”

With such a proud and majestic demeanor in the world, Liu Jin had no confidence to put it on when Qin Kan was alive.

Obviously, Zhang Cai was not so absorbed by the domineering aura exuded by Liu Jin's words, but sighed worriedly.

There is one thing missing under the man, and the scattered kingba is also very unconvincing, at least Zhang Cai doesn't buy it.

After careful wording in his mind, Zhang Cai planned to talk to Liu Jin about life and ideals, in addition to encouraging Liu Gonggong, who was disabled and strong, to continue to shine for Daming Sheji, he also had to euphemistically suggest that he should not be so crazy.

Before the words reached his mouth, a little eunuch hurriedly ran into the celebrant supervisor.

"Old Ancestor, it's not good!"

Liu Jin tightened his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

"There are spies in the West Factory who have just returned to Beijing from outside the Guan......"

"So what?"

"The spies brought the news, Qin Kan is not dead!"

Bang!

Liu Jin, who was just full of ambition and looked at the world, didn't sit down with half of his buttocks, and fell directly from the chair to the ground.

Zhang Cai hurriedly helped him up, but saw Liu Jin's eyes glazed, and his old face quickly lost its color.
