When everyone saw Qin Tai, there was neither the frustration that Xiao Lingzi imagined, nor the self-abandonment expected by "Ma Sandao", nor the self-torture that Zhan Xiaoxiao was worried about. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the big stone in their hearts.

When everyone heard that Qin Tai was reappointed as the manager of the Nanjing Criminal Department, in charge of the case review of a province in Fujian. "Ma Sandao" breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Lingzi frowned, and Zhan Xiaoxiao looked even more nervous.

Zhan Xiaoxiao first said: "My lord, don't you know what place Fujian is? It is the place where the Japanese are most rampant. I've heard that taxes haven't been paid there for years. The security there is one of the worst in the country. Almost every day, people die either by the Japanese bandits, or robbed by the officials and soldiers, or they fight each other for a little bit of food. I heard in Sichuan that Fujian has no food left, and has begun to gnaw tree bark and eat dead people? Is that right? ”

Xiao Lingzi also heard about it, and even the "Ma Sandao" who was relieved just now became nervous. Only the "old drunkard" master on one side is still drinking with the old god and doesn't take it seriously.

Qin Tai said: "All this is true. Fujian has lost control of the government. Not only did the people eat the dead, but they also began to eat the living. Some local officials did not dare to stay in Fujian anymore and had no choice but to abandon their posts and leave Fujian. It's all true, it's true. ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Don't go either." It's a big deal to be an official. We leave the city of Nanjing with you. If anyone dares to stop you, we will protect you. We don't go to Fujian, we don't go to the place where we die. Not this damn officer. ”

Qin Tai shook his head as he took out his long string of waist cards and said, "Now I am not only a supervisor of the Nanjing Criminal Department, but also an official in 32 positions, such as the deputy envoy of Fujian's political administration, the deputy envoy of the inspection, the Fujian grain road, the Fujian military garrison, the prefect of Fuzhou, the prefect of Quanzhou, and so on. If I leave, not only my family, but also your family will be killed. ”

It was the first time for everyone to see such a long string of waist cards, and even the "old drunkard" master on the side knew for the first time that Qin Tai had served as so many officials at once. Zhan Xiaoxiao almost slumped in her chair, not knowing what to say or do.

"Ma Sandao" said to himself: "So we must go to Fujian?" ”

Qin Tai said: "It's not us, it's me." If you don't want to come with me, I won't force you. I've prepared some silver taels here for you to wrap up. ”

Xiao Lingzi first said: "My lord, you are my lord and my young master. Xiao Lingzi will not leave you even if he dies. If you go to Dao Mountain, Xiao Lingzi will be your shoes. If you go to the sea of fire, Xiao Lingzi is your boat. Xiao Lingzi and you live and die together. ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao also shook her head and said, "I won't leave you." You've wanted to leave me for the rest of your life. ”

The "old drunkard" master also said: "People are old and can't walk anymore." I don't want to change owners. Anyway, I have no children and no daughters, so I'm alone. Whether it is buried in a grave or sleeping in a person's belly, it is all the same. I'm just waiting for the adults to give me a pension. ”

"Ma Sandao" hesitated for a moment and then said, "My lord, you are the best adult I have ever met. You have the grace of knowing me, and the little ones are not willing to leave you. Anyway, the children in the family are already old and don't need me to take care of them. I'll just go to Fujian with you, live and die together in the water and fire. ”

Qin Tai was very moved by everyone's words, he said: "Everyone doesn't need to be so pessimistic. I've already made some arrangements, and although our trip is dangerous, it's not unprepared. I have prepared a large amount of food and supplies, and I have brought enough silver with me to go on the road with the soldiers. As long as everyone has one heart and treats the people of Fujian as their own family, I believe that the people of Fujian will not be more terrible than the Japanese Bandits. ”

Everyone put forward their own opinions, and Qin Tai recorded them one by one, hoping to help them in the future.

When Qin Tai came to the barracks, he was startled by the big car in front of him. What kind of cart is this? It's a giant trailer. This kind of whole structure is a large car made of fine iron, which not only has a carriage, but also is super long and oversized. Even the well-informed "old drunkard" master has not seen it.

Tan Lun said to Qin Tai: "You are small in number and short on time. Therefore, I am not good at sending ordinary carriages to transport them, so I thought of these iron carriages. These cars were not ordinary transport vehicles, but the bases of the cannons. Each of the cannons on our front line weighed thousands of pounds, which was not only fixed but also not easy to carry. After receiving this order, the Nanjing Ministry of Industry said that it would build a batch of iron cars in advance to haul artillery. It had to be strong and convenient, so these iron cars were made. It is not only heavy-loaded, but also flexible, as long as one or two horses pull in front, it can pull thousands of pounds of things. I've already tried, and each iron car can pull nearly 10,000 catties of things to run. These iron cars are just about to be transported to Fujian, and they are just in time to use them to transport your grain. After arriving in Fujian, you handed over 500 iron cars to General Yu Dayou as the first batch of supplies, and the rest of the iron cars continued to transport grain. I will rush to make some new iron cars every month, and raise iron cars for the front line little by little. Remember, this is my iron car borrowed from the Zhejiang military, and you can't lose or damage it. ”

Qin Tai didn't care on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart. If this batch of iron cars is in hand, it is more convenient to transport and save manpower and material resources. It's really unthinkable that there are so many things that can be loaded on an iron car. It seems that there are really a lot of skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, and their skills are also quite good.

Everything was ready, and Qin Tai chose a day to prepare to go. The night before leaving, Qin Tai said that he wanted to have a farewell drink with Tan Lun. At the banquet, the Qin Tai five-member group played to their strengths, not only drunk all the "outsiders", but also Qin Tai half-forced and half-coaxed Tan Lun to press a handprint. Although they took the note written by Qin Tai himself to the barracks warehouse, they took away 30,000 sets of soldiers' equipment and a large number of weapons.

When Tan Lun woke up, he saw his red right thumb and immediately realized that he was in trouble. When I went out, Qin Tai and the others were already on the road, and a large number of materials in the warehouse were gone. Tan Lun is really Houhai, he shouldn't show Qin Tai the things in the warehouse. This batch of materials was used by Tan Lun to form a new army. The equipment inside is enough for 30,000 people, and the weapons are enough for 20,000 or 30,000 people. Although there are no heavy weapons, the price of these weapons and equipment is not cheap. When Qin Tai was drunk, he cheated away this batch of materials, and he hadn't written an IOU to himself, and in the future, this confused account would be his own, and it would still be Qin Tai's.

Just as Tan Lun was in his military camp, stomping his feet and scolding Qin Tai's mother, Qin Tai had already left Nanjing City far away. Qin Tai sneezed twice in a row, and the exhibition novel on one side: "Adult." According to our saying there, one sneeze is thought, and two sneezes are scolded. Could it be that someone is scolding you behind your back? Aren't you worried? ”

Qin Tai actually knew who was scolding him, and he also knew that if he didn't attract scolding by doing this, Tan Lun would definitely have a ghost in his heart. So he didn't care, if he could get so many things by scolding a few words, Qin Tai didn't mind being scolded by someone a few more times.

The little spirit on the side came up and interjected: "When you sneeze, someone is thinking about you." Sneezing twice is someone scolding you behind your back. How about three or four sneezes? ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao was really unwilling to disturb Xiao Lingzi's conversation with Qin Tai. So he said angrily: "If you sneeze three or four times, it means that you are sick and you are going to rest." "It means that Xiao Lingzi shouldn't come up and interject, and he shouldn't disturb himself and Qin Tai to chat.

After Xiao Lingzi glanced at Qin Tai to the side, he deliberately made a grimace at Zhan Xiaoxiao. Zhan Xiaoxiao is angry and funny. Xiao Lingzi deliberately said that the old lady wanted to find a daughter-in-law for Qin Tai, in fact, she just wanted to stimulate Zhan Xiaoxiao. In fact, he had already seen that Zhan Xiaoxiao was a girl, and Zhan Xiaoxiao also liked his young master Qin Tai. Xiao Lingzi felt that Qin Tai also liked to show Xiaoxiao a little. Qin Tai was a wooden person, and he thought that Zhan Xiaoxiao was a boy, so he didn't dare to say it. It seems that only Zhan Xiaoxiao has taken the initiative, so Xiao Lingzi wants to stimulate Zhan Xiaoxiao and let Zhan Xiaoxiao take the initiative himself. As long as Qin Tai knew that Zhan Xiaoxiao was a girl, the last obstacle between them would be gone. If Qin Tai still doesn't like Zhan Xiaoxiao's words at that time, it is better to give Zhan Xiaoxiao a chance to die. This is also another major task shouldered by Xiao Lingzi, and it is an important mission given to Xiao Lingzi by Mrs. Qin.

A thousand iron carts, hauling a large amount of grain and supplies, along the way soldiers escorted the convoy, mightily marching towards Fujian. In fact, long before they set off, a small group of experienced former Qi family troops, and now Fujian escorts, had secretly set off to clear the obstacles ahead for the escort. Qin Tai meant, anyway, he will have to take this road almost every month in the future, so it is better to deal with it all at once now. Pull out all the big and small nails on the road, what bandits and bandits, catch and kill, and ensure that this road is unimpeded.

The soldiers also saw Qin Tai and their example. Before leaving, Qin Tai announced several regulations. First, the officers and soldiers are equal, what the soldiers eat, the officers and Qin Tai also eat. Second, there is no offense against the people, no matter who dares to bully the people, they will be decided. Third, all materials are uniformly dispatched and registered, and no one is allowed to enjoy special treatment. Fourth, there is a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done something, you will be punished, and everyone is the same. Fifth, we must not retreat when confronted with the enemy. It doesn't matter if it's a bandit or a robber, or a robber or a rebel army. Orders are prohibited, and must not be violated.

Everyone thought that Qin Tai was just talking, but later they learned that Qin Tai was a person who did what he said. Not only did they eat and drink like soldiers, but they also stood guard and pulled carts and carts. I usually eat and sleep with the soldiers, and I also learn to speak the Hokkien dialect in Fujian with everyone.

Not only Qin Tai, but even the people under him are the same. When everyone heard that Zhan Xiaoxiao was a hero who had killed dozens of widows by himself, even some veterans of the Qi family army had to face up to this little man. Xiao Lingzi's long-distance running, as well as tracking, are also unexpected by everyone. Xiao Lingzi's ability is particularly popular in the army, and many soldiers hope to learn this ability, and Xiao Lingzi is very humble to communicate with everyone.
