Chapter 222 The Prefect of Lin'an

Although Xin Qiji did not think he was a famous general, he would never think he was not a qualified general... He had gathered more than 2,000 people to fight against the Jin Dynasty for more than 30 decades, and was successful and famous. He was familiar with the command of the army or the training of sergeants.

But when training in Changhua's archers, Xin Qiji felt like a novice, knowing nothing, being curious about everything, and asking about everything. If Fan Shan hadn't known that Han Zhongwei was brother to him, he would have been very upset with him and drove him away.

"Why don't they carry weapons when they run?"

"What are they tied on their arms and legs on their chests?"

"What is the scientific name for supporting your body with both hands?"

"Walking in a straight line? Step by step? Do archers still learn to walk?"

...

"Master Xin, you are training now. What should I tell you in detail when I am young?" Fan Shan frowned slightly. He really disdained to answer Xin Qiji's childish and ridiculous question.

Xin Qiji was happy to see the hunting. Although there were only 30 archers, they looked like they were trained. At first, Xin Qiji didn't care. He just watched Fan Shan training with interest. But soon he discovered something abnormal. He couldn't understand Fan Shan's movements and commands. How could he not be surprised? If Fan Shan didn't interrupt him, maybe Xin Qiji would continue to ask, because all this was too strange to him.

After finally finishing the morning exercises of the archers, Xin Qiji finally found an opportunity. He followed Fan Shan like a humble student and asked all his doubts.

"Master Xin, I actually do many things as the young master told me, only knowing that they are not the reason. For example, when they started running, they trained physical strength and leg strength, and later pushed-ups were trained by arm strength. In the future, they would add a finger burp to train their finger strength. As for what they tied, they were sandbags, with sand inside and thick cloth on the outside to increase the intensity of the training." Fan Shan was eating with the archers now, and he also gave Xin Qiji a breakfast and said while eating.

In fact, jumping and jumping are also required in the army. The army has a unified uniform, and infantry has armor and dozens of kilograms. Now the conditions of the archers are poor, so it is also appropriate to replace them with sandbags. As for arm strength, in the army, stone-lifting locks are generally used for training, but the training of the archers seems to be simpler and easier to do.

"Brother Fan, what are you doing when you line up so neatly with the last one at the beginning? "Xin Qiji would not let go of things he didn't understand, so he must ask clearly.

"My young master said that it is called queue training, which can improve the obedience and discipline of the archers." Fan Shan said proudly.

"Team training? You have few people now, just relying on your loud voice. If hundreds of thousands of people are on the battlefield, how can you let the soldiers follow orders?" Xin Qiji quickly discovered a problem. For thousands of years, all generals have been familiar with the principle of chanting gold and withdrawing troops and beating drums to advance, but in the archers, it seems that there are no these two things.

"There are hundreds of training methods, and now there are only more than 30 archers, so it's just right to use the current methods." Fan Shan smiled slightly. The military magnitude is only used in the guards of Heicheng. Although Fan Shan has also received military magnitude training, he is not a professional military magnitude soldier, and he has not brought the military magnitude to the Song Dynasty.

"That's right, it's really a big deal to beat the drum and sing gold. Hey, is this a big meat bun?" Xin Qi took a bite of the bun and found that the skin was thin and the filling was rich, which was extremely delicious.

"If Mr. Xin doesn't like meat and there are noodles there, just take a bowl to serve." Fan Shan thought Xin Qiji was too old to eat meat.

"Lian Po, can you still eat? If I were in the military camp, I could eat ten or eight at a time." Xin Qiji was not boasting. When he arrived at the military camp, everyone's appetite would increase invisibly. I think he could eat two dou of rice in one meal back then.

After dinner, the training of the archers and morning exercises were similar. After watching for a while, Xin Qiji had no new ideas, so he talked to Fan Shan and returned to the county magistrate's mansion alone. At this time, Han Zhongwei had already returned. He had just used breakfast and was about to find Xin Qiji, but he didn't expect that he would come back.

"Brother Xin, I heard that you followed Fan Shan to the drill ground of the archer team. Didn't you laugh out loud?" Han Zhongwei knew that Xin Qiji could be both literary and martial, but his lyrics were too famous, which made his ability to lead troops to fight was ignored.

"I am deeply touched and admired Brother Han's training method." Xin Qiji smiled. He did not despise him because he was nearly forty years older than Han Zhongwei. He would definitely learn what he should learn from others. If he doesn't understand, ask, correct it if there is, and encourage it if there is nothing.

"The trick of the devil is not worth mentioning. Brother Xin, you have nothing important recently, right?" Han Zhongwei thought about it for a long time yesterday. Xin Qiji is a true loving poet. This has been proven by history. As long as his ideas can be changed, it may be a great help for him in the future. How can Xin Qiji have no official position? If he can put him in a suitable place, he may play an unexpected role in the future.

"Brother, I am not in charge now, so how can I have anything to do?" Xin Qiji smiled, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He was full of blood to serve the country, and he was almost wiped out.

"I want to go back to Lin'an. If Brother Xin doesn't dislike him, what if he goes with me?" Han Zhongwei wanted to recommend Xin Qiji to Han Luzhou. If Han Luzhou is increasingly trusted by Zhao Kuo, he can already have an influence on many major events in the court. Of course, Xin Qiji's future career will inevitably be allowed to take charge.

"I'm so sorry, I dare not ask for it." Xin Qiji smiled. Although he didn't know what Han Zhongwei asked him to return to Lin'an with him, he believed that Han Zhongwei would never harm him, let alone, in his current identity, what qualifications are worthy of others to flatter him?

After Han Zhongwei took Xin Qiji back to Lin'an, he did not return to the Han Mansion directly. Instead, he arranged Xin Qiji to his own Zhong Mansion to live there. He then brought two guards back to the Han Mansion. Seeing that the third young master Han in the uniform of a county lieutenant returned to the mansion, he immediately divided one person to run to the mansion to report the message. The rest respectfully welcomed Han Zhongwei and the other three to the mansion.

Now that Han Zhongwei has officially returned to the Han Mansion, he must abide by the necessary etiquette and greet Mrs. Wu first, and give him a gift he bought in Changhua. Mrs. Wu still likes this grandson who has already been a military post in the eighth rank. He knows that Han Zhongwei is a filial son and does not keep him much.

Secondly, of course, I would like to pay my respects to my wife. Although Wu Meiping was jealous of Wu Cui'er having a good son and had intrigues with Han Zhongwei, Han Zhongwei seemed to have forgotten all those things. He did not hit the smiley person. Han Zhongwei was very kind to him, and the gifts he came back this time were very generous. Even everyone's maids around her had a share. Wu Meiping couldn't say anything. After Han Zhongwei sat for a while, he asked him to go down first, saying that Wu Cui'er missed him very much.

Only in the end can Han Zhongwei say hello to his biological mother Wu Cui'er. If Wu Cui'er had not been upgraded to a flat wife now, I'm afraid Han Zhongwei wouldn't even be qualified to meet her when he came back.

"Boy, you're losing weight." Wu Cui'er took Han Zhongwei's hand, stroked his cheek, and said with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, I'm not losing weight, I'm taller and stronger. Look at my arms and legs, they're all knots." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.

"Wei'er, you have to do your best to be a county magistrate in Changhua. Don't embarrass your father." Although Wu Cui'er was very proud of Han Zhongwei's ability to become a county magistrate in Changhua, she also knew that Han Zhongwei was really a little young and could not even understand his character and affairs. How could he deal with the more complicated officialdom?

Wu Cui'er didn't know that Han Zhongwei could not only deal with the complex officialdom of Changhua, but also played a group of officials in Changhua. Now Luo Zhongzheng is already Han Zhongwei's confidant, and Guan Biaoshan seemed to have never reversed Han Zhongwei's intention. If a situation like Changhua fell into the eyes of others, I don't know how many eyes would fall. The originally insignificant county magistrate was actually the real person in charge, and no one would believe it.

It was not until the lights were held that Han Ruzhou returned to the mansion. He heard that Han Zhongwei was back and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he immediately asked someone to invite Han Zhongwei to the study. Han Zhongwei suddenly returned to Beijing, something must have happened.

"Zhongwei, is there something happened again in Changhua? Last time you arrested Lord Zhao Yang, the disciple of Lord Zhao, and didn't tell me in advance. Otherwise, I would like to study him in the court to see that he dares to be arrogant." Han Luzhou asked slowly when he saw Han Zhongwei's calm eyes and did not seem to be a big event.

"Dad, the matter of Changhua is my duty, so there is no need to ask you to come forward. Besides, Zhao Yang was beaten up for thirty slaps and was paraded in the streets. He seemed to be fair and honest. In fact, everyone insiders knew that he was just a mute and had no choice but to say anything about his suffering." Han Zhongwei smiled. Zhao Ruyu's affairs were not over yet. Now it seems that public opinion is on Zhao Ruyu's side, but as long as someone fanned the air and ignited the fire, Zhao Ruyu's little thoughts would be known, and then his ugly face would be revealed to the world.

"I don't worry about doing things. What's wrong with you when you go back to Beijing this time?" Han Tuzhou asked. His son had been to Changhua for several months. This was the first time he had come back today. If nothing happened, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

"I brought one person back to my dad." Han Zhongwei smiled mysteriously.

"What kind of person?" Han Tuo Zhou looked at Han Zhongwei deeply, but he didn't expect that his son would still know how to recruit talents for his father.

"Xin Qiji" Han Zhongwei gently spit out three words.

"Xin Qiji? He was deprived of all his official positions not long ago. At this time, he should live in Shangrao, Jiangxi. How could you know him?" Han Tuozhou asked in confusion.

I have known him now, but I have known him in my previous life, and I have also read his lyrics hard, Han Zhongwei said in his heart.

"He went out for a trip and happened to come to Changhua. I talked to him and found that he and his father were originally the same type of people, and he was also a passionate person who fought against the Jin Dynasty." Han Zhongwei chuckled. Even though he was a cheap man, he was also in his bones with the passion for fighting against the Jin Dynasty. At this point, Han Zhongwei felt that he would not lose money as his son.

"This matter is known to everyone in the world, but his identity as a converted man..." Han Luzhou knew what his son had done to return to Beijing, and it turned out to be a lobbyist for Xin Qiji.

"Father, if you want to regain the Central Plains and then dominate the servants, you must unite all like-minded people, or even all those who can unite." Han Zhongwei said vigorously that the war between countries is not a fight between two people, but involves all aspects, such as weapons, training of soldiers, excellent generals and perfect logistics, which is indispensable. And these require people to do, and it cannot be accomplished by Han Zhongwei and his son. Moreover, Xin Qiji's reputation has long been spread throughout the world. By uniting him, he has united a large group of people.

"Then what do you mean?" Han Luzhou thought about Han Zhongwei's words carefully, and there was something really right. It would be useless to rely on his own to shout. If he really made a Northern Expedition in the future, not only would he unite the people of the Song Dynasty, but the Han people who fell into the Jin Dynasty also had to unite them. As long as they make good use of them, the Central Plains would have the possibility of recovery.

"Xin Qiji is dedicated to serving the country. Now he agrees with my view of being far-reaching and intimate, which can be reused." Han Zhongwei said that Xin Qiji had served as the transfer and comfort envoy of Hubei, Jiangxi and Fujian in the past, and was also a senior official. Although he was falsely accused of losing his official position, once he wanted to use him, he could not give him a county lieutenant who was not even a seventh-rank official like himself.

"Now the court is not the master of his father." Han Luzhou smiled bitterly. Han Zhongwei really regarded himself as the central minister. It was not so easy to use Xin Qiji. With Han Luzhou's current ability, it would be really not difficult to remove any official. Even if he adjusts his official position, it would be possible to make him a person without any position as an official. This would be a bit difficult. Unless he is the prime minister and has the right to recommend someone, it would be different.

"Will you just ask the emperor to criticize the imperial pen directly?" Han Zhongwei thought this should be very simple.

"I think, but the appointment of officials will eventually be subject to the Ministry of Personnel and the Prime Minister. If they do not have their consent, it will be inappropriate for him to pass it forcibly." Han Luzhou shook his head and said, "It sounds simple to say that the imperial pen is criticized, but in fact, many things are the emperor's intentions. He is just using his name to do things that he wants but is difficult to do for him.

"You mean if something happened to the prime minister, there would be no problem with this matter?" Han Zhongwei's eyes lit up, and he had another one that he had not activated.

"That's of course, but Zhao Ruyu couldn't cooperate with me. The last time he dismissed Xin Qiji, he was the one who interfered with it. Liu Zheng and Zhao Ruyu were even more involved." Han Ruzhou had long wanted to attack these two people, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. Although he had a big killer weapon that was criticized by the imperial pen, he had to find an excuse that could block the world's mouths, otherwise others would say that he was holding the emperor to command the princes.

"Of course Zhao Ruyu won't cooperate with him. He has looked down on you since the beginning. When the child is freed up, he will find a way to deal with him. As for staying in the middle of the day, my father can rest assured that he is now mine." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.

"What? Say it again." Han Luzhou was a little suspicious of his ears. Liu was the prime minister of the dynasty. Han Zhongwei was just an eighth-rank county lieutenant. The prime minister was the county lieutenant? The county lieutenant was the prime minister, so it depends on whether the prime minister gave him this face.

"You heard it right. Liu Zheng is my man now. If I let him go east, he will never dare to go west. If I let him eat, he will never dare to get diarrhea. But there are very few people who know about this. If Xin Qiji had not been to let Xin Qiji go out again this time, I would not have activated him." Han Zhongwei talked happily and told Han Luzhou that Liu was ill of his family fled from the capital when the new emperor was not ascending the throne, and that he would later fall into his hands. Finally, he used means to make him surrender to him.

Apart from the previous few words, Han Fuzhou didn't listen to the words behind him at all. At this time, his mind was blank. Han Zhiwei's words just now made him unable to accept them for a while. **, the prime minister became his son's disciple. Who would believe this when he said it? Even Han Fuzhou still believes and doubts.

But when recalling what Liu Zheng did after returning to the center this time, Han Luzhou really felt a little strange. Zhao Ruyu looked down on him and did not take him seriously, Han Luzhou knew that he was wearing a pair of pants with Zhao Ruyu, but this incident had changed significantly from before. Sometimes he saluted him, but he actually dared not accept it. At that time, he thought it was his official credit, but now it seemed that it was his son's credit.

"Will you really listen to you? He is a traitor and sly person. You sold you back to him when you didn't want to count the money." Han Tuozhou asked in the end with some concern.

"Haha, if my father doesn't believe it, we will know it after a try. This time I let you meet and you can take care of the court in the future. Of course, you can only take care of it in secret. On the surface, you will even have some conflicts and you must not stand in the same camp." Han Zhongwei said.

"Why is this?" Han Tuozhou felt that since Liu Zheng was his own, he could suppress Zhao Ruyu in the court from now on. He and Liu Zheng joined forces to almost control the entire court.

"Unless our family is dominant, it's better not to make all our strength public." Han Zhongwei said casually. He had to explain such things himself. My IQ is not very high.

"I just listen to you. Since Liu Zheng has come forward, what official position do you want to find for Xin Qiji?" Han Tuozhou asked. Now that he and Liu Zheng are joining forces, let alone arranging Xin Qiji, it is not difficult to promote Han Zhongwei as a general.

"How about the Lin'an Prefect?" Han Zhongwei asked, Lin'an Prefect Ding Changren, the three-year period was about to arrive. At this time, Xin Qiji took over, which is of great significance to himself and the future Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Han Zhongwei has made up his mind that from now on, Lin'an Prefect must be his own people.

In the evening, Han Luzhou followed Han Zhongwei to leave the Han Mansion. In Zhong Mansion, Han Luzhou met Xin Qiji. Later, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Liu, was on a small fishing boat to the back door of the Zhong Mansion. His whereabouts were even more secret. Even the servants of the Zhong Mansion didn't know that the prime minister of the current dynasty was coming.

Seeing Liu Zheng appear, Han Ruzhou finally completely believed Han Zhongwei's words. At the same time, he admired Han Zhongwei more and more. He could control the prime minister if he was a county magistrate. If he was allowed to be a county magistrate, I wonder if he would control the official family?
