Chapter 27: Acceptance
Lin Pingzhi strode into the simple carriage, opened the bamboo curtain of the carriage and walked in.
The carriage was not big, but it was not small, with a fixed wooden table in the middle, and two figures were sitting around the small table, drinking warm tea with a kettle, and talking something.
At this time, when they saw Lin Pingzhi coming in, they all stopped talking and looked over.
"I've seen my father."
Lin Pingzhi first nodded to his old father Lin Zhennan in the two figures, and then also sat on the side of the small table in the carriage, and greeted a man with almost half gray hair, a sturdy body, and seemed to be in the middle and late stages of his age.
"Uncle, have you been okay these days?"
Hearing Lin Pingzhi's greeting, the man with half gray hair and beard, after a trace of painful recollection flashed in his eyes, looked at Lin Pingzhi with gratitude in his eyes.
"It's not good to be able to get rid of the bitter sea of Huangzhuang!"
"Thank you so much!"
Although because of the Lin family's secret rescue back then, Lin Bofen's family barely escaped the bloody disaster of beheading the whole family, but the exile of Huangzhuang to become the lowest village is really not a good treatment.
Perhaps, for the sake of the Lin family's follow-up large sums of gold and silver offerings, the arrangements for Lin Bofen's family are similar to those of low-level farm work supervisors, which is not a heavy errand, but if you want to learn martial arts and practice internal qi, don't even think about it.
"It's a pity that the matter didn't work out, so I can only let the uncle's family come out under a pseudonym."
Lin Pingzhi's face was full of regret, now the power of the nine-thousand-year-old party is in full swing, although the people below are greedy, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to blatantly release a family that has offended Wei Zhongxian.
The reason why Lin Bofen's family was able to leave the Beiping Imperial City with Lin Pingzhi smoothly was because too long had passed since the events of that year, and the eunuch party leaders had forgotten about a small person like a "partial general"; On the other hand, it is also because Lin Bofen's family directly "died of exhaustion", and he was named a relative of the princess's mansion who was also a guard surnamed Lin, although the surname did not change, but the name was changed again.
"Don't say much."
Seeing the shame on Lin Pingzhi's face, Lin Bofen, no, the middle-aged man who has now changed his name to Lin Boxing is Zhengsedao.
"The eunuch traitor is powerful, and it is not easy for the virtuous nephew to get my family out of the tiger's mouth, we don't want to, and we don't want to ask for more."
For Lin Boxing, who was a senior military general in the Ming Dynasty and suffered a big loss at the peak of his life because of his angry remarks against the eunuchs, and his future fell, his younger brother Lin Zhennan's family has done enough to help him, and it really makes him have no face to ask for more.
When Lin Tuyuan split up, although it seemed that Lin Zhennan had obtained the ancestral dart business, in fact, secretly, he gave most of his resources and secret favors to Lin Bofen, who stepped into the officialdom.
In this world, because of the existence of extraordinary internal force, the status of the Jianghu people is not low, but in the hearts of most people, after all, it is still not as good as the official eunuchs.
Lin Tuyuan only hopes that Lin Bofen in the future can secretly protect Lin Zhennan's family heirloom business with his power, so that the descendants of the two veins will continue to end.
When Lin Tuyuan was still alive, he secretly told Lin Bofen.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, everything seems to be reversed, Lin Bofen, who should have been a backer, quickly declined in power; On the contrary, Lin Zhennan's branch developed well, and after Lin Boxing lost power, he used a large amount of gold and silver to secretly shelter Lin Boxing's family for more than ten years.
"It's all a family, how can the eldest brother not ask for more?"
At this time, on the other side of the wooden table in the carriage, Lin Zhennan, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Wu'er is now the commander of Xiaolingwei, and it is the time when he needs the help of his eldest brother's family!"
As Lin Pingzhi's old father, Lin Zhennan has already communicated with Lin Pingzhi in advance, recruiting elders, as a junior, Lin Pingzhi is really not easy to speak, and Lin Zhennan must cooperate with the singing of double reeds on the side.
"This ······"
Lin Boxing has some hesitations and concerns, his family is a "criminal household" in the court after all, if he is too close to Lin Pingzhi and is found to be true, it is a handle for Lin Pingzhi to say that it is big or big, and it is not small to say that it is small.
"Uncle doesn't have to worry too much, my nephew will live in Nanjing for a long time in the future."
Since the old father Lin Zhennan had already helped to open his mouth, seeing Lin Pingzhi with a hesitant face, he continued sincerely.
"And the situation of Xiaolingwei, I think the uncle also had some understanding in his early years."
"The Wulin family is not short of money, and it is also an opportunity for the Wulin family to take charge of Xiaolingwei, and I hope that the uncle and the two cousins can help me!"
The Ming Dynasty guard army in this era and the Taiping army created by Lin Pingzhi's body, Hong Tiangui, are very different after all, from the establishment to the order, from the military uniform to the flag, etc., are completely different from the Taiping army operation data preserved in Lin Pingzhi's system.
And now in the Ming Dynasty, the righteousness has not been lost, and it is impossible for Lin Pingzhi to carry out relevant changes as soon as he takes over the guard, so he can only follow the current rules and regulations.
In this case, the value of Uncle Lin Boxing is reflected.
Hearing Lin Ping's words in front of him, Lin Boxing's face also eased.
Yes!
Nanjing and Beiping are separated by more than 1,000 miles, and he is a partial general who has been convicted for more than ten years, who knows him in Nanjing?
As for the situation of Xiaolingwei in Lin Pingzhi's mouth, Lin Boxing heard about it when he was in office, of course, it was not a good rumor.
Although the filial piety Lingwei has a full establishment of 20,000 people, because of the heavy responsibility of guarding the mausoleum of Taizu, and has no responsibility for foreign wars, he has been paid empty wages by senior officials of the Nanjing Military Department and several former commanders in recent years.
According to the information he learned more than ten years ago, it was said that there were less than 2,000 soldiers left in this guard, and they were all old and weak.
Today, more than ten years later, whether the status quo ante can be maintained is still a question mark.
Presumably, this is also one of the reasons why today's eunuchs are so generous and grant Lin Pingzhi, the commander of the Donglin Horse Guard, such an "important position".
The officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, except for a few people, were all officials to make money, such a dilapidated guard, what kind of money can be made by being a commander?
If it were someone else, they might shy away.
But for the Lin family, who is not short of money, there is more to do if they are in charge of an army of 20,000 people······
Thinking of this, Lin Boxing subconsciously glanced at the sincere Lin Pingzhi in front of him.
He has been imprisoned by Huang Ming for more than ten years, and he has no loyalty to this court at all, and the two cousins in Lin Pingzhi's mouth, his two sons of Lin Boxing, now need a lot of resources, and it is time to lay the foundation for cultivating internal strength, and it will be too late if he doesn't fight.
He finally made up his mind in his heart.
This middle-aged man with a half-white beard was also decisive, once he made up his mind, he immediately stood up, regardless of the obstruction of his younger brother Lin Zhennan on the side, and bowed directly to Lin Pingzhi, and set the status of master and slave.
"Humble Lin Boxing."
"Meet the Commander!"
