Chapter 69 The Qi Brothers
Alas, I praised you a good grandfather who can make money a few days ago. But now, I want to call you a bastard.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Qi Zaguo and Qi Changguo's brothers who looked old in front of him, sighed in his heart, and even scolded Wanli, the bad grandfather.
Shortly after Zhang Juzheng's death, he was liquidated, and Qi Jiguang, whom he appreciated and promoted, was also implicated.
First, the General of Jizhen was transferred to the General of Guangdong, which was driven out of the capital by Wanli. Then, Emperor Wanli dismissed Qi Jiguang as a clerk of Zhang Juzheng and took his position and his salary.
In this way, Qi Jiguang, the god of war with great military achievements, returned to his hometown in Penglai sadly.
The later years of a famous general were even more desolate and lonely, and he could not even get the money for taking medicine and seeing a doctor. He passed away in poverty and illness.
The bad grandfather Wanli was so cruel to the famous general who had great achievements in the state. He also attacked the teacher who had not yet been cold, which caused Zhang Juzheng's family to be destroyed and almost killed by the coffin. He was really worse than a pig or dog.
A bastard, a conscience-lost pig and dog, Zhu Youxiao scolded Wanli for being so bloody, but what use is this?
As for the brothers such as Qi Zuoguo, they only became a small official or inherited their ancestral property, but did not inherit Grandpa Qi's literary and military strategy, and had nothing to do with the Qi family army.
Even the troops led by Qi Jin, the nephew of Grandpa Qi, in the bloody battle of Hunhe, were strictly speaking, not considered the real Qi family army.
Grandpa Qi has been away for more than 30 years, and the Qi family army has disappeared in the long river of history. Can the Qi family army be replicated with the military strategy of Grandpa Qi and the military practice of Grandpa Qi?
Zhu Youxiao did not have any hope for this, and also believed that even if Grandpa Qi was born again, he would not agree with such an idea, but would instead scold him.
As a famous general who can flexibly use and constantly improve his tactics, he will use a modern term to describe it, that is, "keeping pace with the times."
After more than 30 years, weapons and equipment have changed, tactics have changed, and even the enemy has changed, how can I copy them?
If Grandpa Qi was there, he would definitely adjust and change. He would then attack the "Qi Family Army" of the Japanese pirates and the "Qi Family Army" of Mongolia, and then build a "Qi Family Army" that can deal with Jiannu.
"Since the "Qi Shaobao Nian Jibing" has been published, I will print more. I will give 10,000 taels of treasury to help him." Zhu Youxiao's face was Hexi, but he felt secretly sighing in his heart that Grandpa Qi's descendants were not as far away as his ancestors.
"I thank the Lord for your kindness." Qi Zuoguo and Qi Changguo knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "I want to build a new army. Your sons and nephews have strong and powerful scholars and are willing to join the army to serve the country. You can say that they know about me."
Qi Changguo kowtowed without thinking and said, "I have three sons, Pan Zong, Xian Zong, and Zhen Zong, who are all willing to fight on the battlefield and serve the country."
"I have two sons, and they can all serve the country." Qi Zuoguo did not hesitate too much.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "The two beloved ministers will send one son into the army. There is no eyebrow in the sword, and I do not want to make loyal ministers without a descendant."
"I already have a grandson, but I will never have a queen." Qi Zuoguo kowtowed again and said, "It is also their glory to ask the emperor to accept two dog sons from the empress, and to wrap the body in the horse and the horse.
"I have one son." Qi Changguo once again expressed his loyalty.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "The loyalty of the two beloved ministers is understandable. I have already known it. I have decided to give each one of them, so there is no need to say much."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said loudly: "Qi Zuoguo, Qi Changguo, and famous generals, he was loyal to the country. He was appointed as the commander of the Dengzhou Guard in Qi Zuoguo and was awarded General Cavalry; Qi Changguo and Yin Jinyiwei commander, and was awarded General Zhaoyong. He also gave him the same gift of Python jade, and Qi Changguo embroidered spring sword."
"I thank the Lord for your kindness." The Qi brothers kowtowed and thanked him.
The assistant commander of Dengzhou Guard was a hereditary position of the Qi family, and Grandpa Qi's military career began from then on.
The commander of the Jinyiwei sounds glorious, but it is just a false position, which is set up to reward the descendants of the ministers and has no power.
Through the open hall door and looking at the Qi brothers' departure, Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips.
I hope that among your nephews, there are talents who can be cultivated, and they can revive the lintel of the Qi family and restore the reputation of Grandpa Qi.
After calming down, Zhu Youxiao reviewed the memorial for a while. The palace servant reported that Yuan Keli came to Jin to see him.
The examination was over and the test papers were reviewed very quickly. Zhu Youxiao had read the presentation of Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi, and also personally selected some experts with expertise.
Although the imperial examination is very important, the palace examination is the last level, and the top scorer, Tanhua will also be produced after the palace examination.
As the chief examiner and deputy examiner of the examination, Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi were liberated and could each do their own official duties.
Yuan Keli has been designated as the governor of Denglai. In order to avoid the change of generals at the last battle, Zhu Youxiao was preparing to wait until the Guangning war ended and then let the teacher go to the side to take over Tao Langxian's work.
But Yuan Keli insisted on going to Denglai first, and temporarily became familiar with the local military preparations in Denglai and the situation in Dengzhen under the name of Psychology's military affairs.
If you want to say that the two teachers are the ones that Zhu Youzhai trusts and respects the most now, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, and Xu Guangqi are still one level behind.
What made Zhu Youxiao feel heartbroken and regretful was the age of the two teachers. They are both in their sixties and have to shoulder heavy responsibilities and go out to the border.
Whenever Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he hated those bastards who didn't do serious business and curse nonsense. In history, two teachers worked hard outside, and censors criticized them.
Therefore, while Zhu Youzhai decided to send his teacher to the border, he also made a secret effort. Whoever dared to criticize the teacher would let him get out of here.
Damn, those who are honest in doing things have been harmed by those who are verbally hurt. How can such a political ecology be better for such a court?
"Master Yuan, please sit down." Zhu You proofreaded that Teacher Yuan, whose hair and beard were white, was not only respectful in his heart, but also did not be vague in his actual actions, so he asked the palace servants to bring a chair.
"Your Majesty, this is--" Yuan Keli was a little confused and a little panicked. This seemed not a courtesy of a minister.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, don't be confused. This is my praise and respect for Master Yuan. Only Master Yuan and Master Sun can receive such treatment. Well, Xu Paul can also sit down."
After pausing, Zhu Youxiao added: "This is created by me, not by me."
This chair is not an embroidered stud, with a backrest, a handrail, and a soft blanket, which makes it comfortable to sit. Of course, it is not as wide as a dragon chaise, to show the difference between a monarch and his subjects.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Yuan Keli was relieved. The emperor did not do his job and went to work as a carpenter. He received this kind of experience of respecting his teacher, so he thanked him and sat down.
