Chapter 517 The Reformer of the Empire
"Your Majesty said it well!" A thick male voice suddenly came from behind, and a strong man came.
This man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and his strong muscles were about to come out, and he looked like a trainer.
"This one is..." Although Liu Hongjian knew that this person must be from the Qi family, he didn't know who looked at Wu Chengye immediately.
"Prince, this is Qi Yuangong, the eldest son of Qi Jin and General Qi." Wu Chengye knew that Qi Yuangong was coming and knew that things were not to be violated, so he sighed slightly.
"It turns out that it is a hero. I am here to visit abruptly. I hope Brother Qi will not be surprised." Liu Hongjian bowed his hand and Gu Jia behind him also clasped his fists.
"I have heard of the great name for a long time. The prince's great achievements made us ashamed. I wonder what the prince visited my Qi family?" Qi Yuangong bowed his hand and said with a humble and arrogant look.
"I don't like to beat around the bush, so I will not hide it from it. When I come this time, I want to ask the descendants of the Qi family to come out and continue to serve the people of the Ming Dynasty." Liu Hongjian said sincerely.
"I am very grateful for the prince's pleasure, but if the prince comes for this, I may disappoint the prince. In this life, I only wish to work in the farm and serenity, and I have no intention of becoming an official." Qi Yuangong bent down to apologize.
"The Qi family army once spread the world and ordered the enemy to be frightened. Don't Brother Qi want to regain his strength?" Liu Hongjian knew the crux of the problem, but he did not explain it.
"Is the Qi family army... Since the Battle of Hunhe, there has been no Qi family army in the Ming Dynasty." Qi Yuangong's expressions became deeper when he thought of the many fathers who died of tragic death in the Battle of Hunhe.
"Does the prince know how much the people of Zhejiang have paid to maintain this reputation?
The Qi family army was invincible, but they were also jealous of their great merits. Although the Qi family army has been in the army for 60 years, at least forty years have been targeted by the imperial court.
Wherever there is bloody battle, the Qi family army was sent to. Of course, this is the mission of the warriors. My Qi family has no complaints. Over the past decades, the Qi family army has been crippled again and again.
The uncle and his father repeatedly rebuilt the Qi family army. Due to the continuous recruitment of Zhejiang soldiers, the male soldiers had already gone to seven or eight.
But what did these seniors get? Repeated suppression, their achievements were wiped out by civil officials, they had no hope of promotion, and their pensions were greedy...
Now twenty-five years have passed, is the prince trying to let their descendants continue to die hopelessly for the court?” Qi Yuangong was almost questioning, questioning those unjustly seniors.
He knew Liu Hongjian's influence in the current court, and he also knew that in his current identity, he would undoubtedly be seeking death, but he still had to ask.
"Brother Qi, as I said just now, their efforts may not be for the court but for the people under their rule. I should not have figured it out like this.
I can't control my father's affairs and can't do anything. I can only make up for and improve what I can do as much as possible, make up for the shortcomings of my father and improve the accumulated shortcomings of the court.
Who doesn’t have any regrets? Brother Qi, we are all gone, and we still look at the present day!
Did Brother Qi practice martial arts all day just to throw his passion into farming?” Liu Hongjian was not angry about Qi Yuangong’s accusation.
Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Xiong Tingbi... Which one is not a hero who pleads for the people? Whether it is Qi Jiguang or Qi Jin, they have all left with the wind.
When future generations comment on right and wrong, merits and demerits, they will naturally understand people and know who are heroes and who are treacherous.
Justice and glory may be late, but they will never be absent.
"All have gone, look at the present..." Liu Hongjian's words hit Qi Yuangong's heart directly. Yes, since he was young, he had been practicing martial arts and studying military tactics. Who would have thought that he would just be buried in a piece of loess like this? He was not willing to let it go!
only……
"Also, I did not say that Brother Qi wanted to rebuild the Qi family army. The Ming Dynasty is no longer the dark and decadent Ming Dynasty twenty-five years ago.
If I remember correctly, your uncle Qi Jiguang once submitted memorials twice, saying that he would take turns to train military officers in the world to use a powerful and wise blade but would not be willing to do so.
Now, the opportunity has come.
In the name of the head of the Ming Dynasty Royal Lecture Hall, I sincerely invite you to serve as the formation instructor of the martial arts hall and to guide the generals of the world with the essence of the formation of the Qi family.
I wonder if Brother Qi is willing to be a reformer of the empire with the head of the mountain?" Liu Hongjian bowed his hand and invited sincerely.
"Is the reformer of the empire? If someone dares to speak so loudly, I will definitely think that this person is a madman. But you, the prince of Anguo, said this... I am willing to give it a try!"
Qi Yuangong no longer hesitated. He was also a cheerful person. As early as when he learned that the prince of Anguo came this time, he had already wanted to become an official.
He was waiting for the court to clear the dark clouds and see the light again, waiting for a hero who turned the tide to appear in the Ming Dynasty, and waiting for an opportunity to make the Han people in the world stand up straight.
He waited for this day for a full ten years!
From March of the 17th year of Chongzhen, when the rebel army besieged Beijing, he concluded that the Han Dynasty was about to move to the last abyss.
But he was wrong. It was also from that month that a young man named Liu Hongjian rose to the extreme, supporting the last hope of the Ming Dynasty.
He killed the bandit leader Li Zicheng with one force, destroyed the remnants of the thieves, went out of the mountains and seas, destroyed the Jianlu, divided the land, destroyed the nobles, investigated corruption, and destroyed the slanderous ministers...
For two years, he had always thought that this young man was looking for death in such a manner, but this young man passed through the obstacles and was as if he had entered a state of no one.
He had worried that this young man would be suspicious of the emperor like his uncle and framed by villains.
But what he had unexpected was that the young man seemed to have a cheat. Not only was he not suppressed, but he rose like a flying sky, with an unprecedented speed of promotion to his title.
Today, not only did Zi not suspect him, but instead relied on his arms and even offended the literati of the world for him.
The prince did not disappoint the court. He quelled the bandits that had caused trouble for more than ten years in just two years and wiped out the Jiannu who had invaded the Ming Dynasty for decades.
What's more, when measuring the land and the people of the world, no one dares to do anything for three hundred years.
Yes, the Qi family may have suffered a lot of injustice, but as the young prince in front of him said, it was all the affairs of his father. As descendants, they should not impose these shackles on their heads.
All have gone, and I still look at the present day.
"Hahaha, if you can invite Brother Qi, I am honored to you. The Lion of the Ming Dynasty has awakened. Next, I will witness the rise of the Han people with me!"
With the strong support of Uncle Chongzhen, coupled with the firearms and equipment of the ordnance, and the invincible training method of the Qi family, the rise of the Ming Dynasty, who else can do the same?
"Uncle Wu, let's go and instruct the servants to prepare wine and food. Today I will stop drunk with the prince!
Let’s go, the prince, the second and third brothers who are under the yard are still practicing martial arts in the backyard. When they go down, they call them to come and pay homage to the prince!” Qi Yuangong was also very excited. After practicing skills for more than ten years, he finally got the place to use his skills.
Yes, what his uncle hoped for throughout his life was just a powerful Ming army. Now the opportunity is right in front of him. How can he stand by and watch?
The joining of the three brothers of the Qi family made the martial arts lecture hall look like a tiger, and the Qi family fort was worth the trip.
But when Liu Hongjian returned proudly, a tragedy happened in the capital...
