Chapter 341: White-Cut Chicken and Prison
"My Lord, Qiu Luan is a general after all!" Hu Zongxian was also quite puzzled after learning about it.
"He's just an idiot with great ambitions but little talent!" Jiang Qingzhi said disdainfully, "There's no need to discuss this matter any further!"
He returned to the forbidden area and continued to forge his own self-defense weapon.
The rifling has been done, and the next step is to process various small things, which is when patience is tested.
Historically, Qiu Luan was stationed in Datong. Facing Altan Khan's army heading south, he chose to negotiate peace quietly... If you go somewhere else, I promise not to send troops.
This is not a question of ability.
This is bordering on treason!
No, it's treason!
Jiang Qingzhi felt disgusted even if he was living in the same room with such people, let alone employing them for his own benefit!
As the saw bow was pulled back and forth, Jiang Qingzhi gradually forgot about what was happening in the outside world.
Next comes the finishing with a file.
Drill again.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Qingzhi raised the nearly finished homemade pistol in his hand and pointed it forward.
Opening:
"Bah!"
……
When Jiang Qingzhi woke up in the morning, he didn't move, but his mind was racing, going over what he had to do that day.
Go to Yulin Zuowei first, then enter the palace.
"Husband." Li Tian woke up slowly.
"I probably won't be back for lunch." Jiang Qingzhi said.
"Should we bring some food with us?" Li Tian asked.
“Just eat outside.”
"Be careful!" Li Tian muttered.
"Who can watch me poison?" Jiang Qingzhi said unhappily.
Li Tian turned over and said, "Those people are everywhere, husband, how about... forget it."
Jiang Qingzhi was stretching and felt her emotions, so he hugged her and said softly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Ok!"
"I do all this not just for Moxue."
"Why then?"
"For future generations."
Jiang Qingzhi said: "I have heard a story... At the end of a dynasty, war broke out in the country, an army composed of refugees broke through the capital, and the emperor committed suicide..."
Li Tian hummed and felt drowsy.
"The general at the border opened the gate and welcomed the foreign army. Then the foreign army defeated the refugee army..."
"Yeah!" Li Tian thought about going to the temple to worship Buddha today and pray to the Buddha to bless her with having a few children.
"Then there was a series of massacres. Nine out of ten houses in the Central Plains were emptied. After unifying the country, the alien race forced everyone in the world to shave their heads... that is, to leave only some hair at the back of the head, and braid it into a small braid..."
"The clothes and hats of our ancestors cannot be changed!" said Li Tian.
"Yes! So the foreigners got ruthless and ordered that if you kept your hair, you would lose your head, and then there was another round of killing... Madam, if our children and grandchildren are forced by the foreigners to shave their heads, then we can only leave a small braid at the back of their heads..."
"That won't work?" Li Tian said with a smile, "Husband, your story is too absurd."
"Is it ridiculous?" Jiang Qingzhi looked at the dim room, thinking about the bloody things...
The rat tail is like a golden money, it can keep its hair but lose its head. It is the remnant of the Ming Dynasty. Kill it!
Qingfeng is illiterate, why bother flipping through books... It's a taboo, so he will be killed!
Repeated killings broke the backbone of this nation, and it fell into the abyss.
"What do you think if I could stop this?"
Li Tian said casually: "It is a great merit."
After breakfast, Jiang Qingzhi took his guards to the Yulin Zuowei.
Outside the barracks, two sergeants stood straight.
"Hello, uncle!"
In the morning light, Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Where is Chen Bin?"
"Please wait a moment, my lord. I will report to you right away."
Jiang Qingzhi nodded.
Mo Zhan was looking at the camp of Yulin Zuowei. Sun Chonglou asked, "Old Mo, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm trying to figure out how to break into this camp."
Sun Chonglou smiled and said, "Just charge in directly."
Chen Bin brought all the generals here.
"Hello, uncle!"
Jiang Qingzhi walked into the camp and asked, "The Yulin Left Guard has been training for a long time. How is it going?"
"Please review it, my Lord."
Chen Bin glanced at Jiang Qingzhi. At this moment, the sun was rising, and Jiang Qingzhi's face was reflected slightly red, looking calm.
But Chen Bin did not dare to delay and ordered his men to assemble.
To the sound of drums, soldiers from the Yulin Zuowei swarmed out.
It took a quarter of an hour from sending the signal to completing the assembly.
Qian Lin smiled and said, "What do you think, Master?"
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "It only takes a stick of incense to defeat the Tiger Guard Left Guard."
Qian Lin's face suddenly felt hot.
"Practice!"
Then the Yulin Zuowei began training.
The formation is impeccable.
Conversion is no problem either.
Morale looks good too.
But Mo Zhan always felt that something was missing.
After the exercise, Chen Bin smiled and asked Jiang Qingzhi for guidance.
Jiang Qingzhi looked at the neat array and shook his head, "What a showpiece!"
The generals of the Yulin Zuowei were in an uproar.
"We have been practicing hard for many days and we think we are not bad at anything, but you say it is just for show!" "This is intentional..."
"You are looking for trouble."
In the chaotic atmosphere, Chen Bin looked grim, "My Lord, I have tried my best."
Jiang Qingzhi looked around and said, "Wen Tianwuxi is talking about you. When the superior speaks, what are the rules?"
The noise disappeared.
Jiang Qingzhi's eyes turned cold. "This kind of fancy trick can be trained in just ten days. How long has it been since I asked you to join the Tiger Guards to observe and learn the training?"
Xu Wei smiled and said, "My Lord, it's been at least half a year!"
"They've only trained to this level in half a year. Who are they trying to fool?" Jiang Qingzhi sneered. "The training of the Yulin Left Guard is inferior!"
As soon as the inferior verdict came out, the smile on Qian Bin's face disappeared, and he bowed and said: "Please go and have a look at the other guards in Beijing, sir."
"You think the law doesn't punish everyone?" Jiang Qingzhi walked over. "This is the guard of the capital, not your lapdog!"
Jiang Qingzhi pointed at the formation and cursed, "We are all Ming soldiers, but you have trained the Yulin Zuowei into this state. To say that you are just sitting there doing nothing is an understatement."
Jiang Qingzhi looked at these livid faces and said grimly, "This is dereliction of duty!"
There are two concepts: sitting in office and doing nothing and dereliction of duty.
Malfeasance is a crime!
Everyone was in an uproar, Jiang Qingzhi took a step forward, and a surge of momentum emerged.
"Who has any objection?"
Some of the generals wanted to refute, but the generals around them whispered: "Don't forget, this is the only famous general in the court who has defeated General Altan twice. How can we refute him?"
The generals fell silent.
The autumn wind was howling on the high platform. The generals and soldiers only saw Jiang Qing coming forward, and they all bowed their heads.
"No one has any objection?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
Seeing that his young master had silenced all the generals of the Yulin Left Guard, Sun Chonglou could not help but mutter, "Jia Lan, do you think anyone dares to resist?"
Dou Jialan said softly: "If anyone dares to resist now, they will be the chicken in the hands of the Lord!"
"What do you mean?"
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"
Jiang Qingzhi stared at the generals, but unfortunately no one dared to show up.
"Take care of yourself!"
After Jiang Qingzhi left, the generals of the Yulin Zuowei gathered around Qian Bin and discussed ideas.
"This man never speaks lies. He said we were derelict in our duty and he will definitely give us some advice on how to deal with it. Commander, how should we respond?"
Chen Bin sneered, "All the guards in Beijing are like this. If Jiang Qingzhi had the ability, he would have replaced all the generals."
Qian Lin blew his nose, took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his fingers and nose, "It's fine to withdraw, but where can we get so many generals to replace him?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Yes, if all the generals of the Beijing Guards were replaced, there wouldn't be that many generals to take over. Jiang Qingzhi is just bluffing!"
"If it's not handled properly, it will intimidate us."
"No." Chen Bin had a clear understanding, "He is a great master of the Mohist school. He left comments of inferiority and dereliction of duty. If there is no follow-up action, the words of this great master will be meaningless in the future."
Seeing the generals' grim expressions, Chen Bin said, "Spread the news that Jiang Qingzhi made things difficult for us today, and also spread his verdict."
He said coldly: "The lips and teeth are interdependent. If the generals of the Beijing Guards don't want to suffer the same fate, they will definitely take action. The Beijing Guards are in a state of turmoil. I want to see how Jiang Qingzhi suppresses it!"
Word spread quickly.
"Dereliction of duty?" Qiu Luan was drinking alone at home. Upon hearing the news, he drank several cups in a row, burped, and said, "He is killing a chicken to scare the monkeys! The generals of the Beijing Guards should either bow their heads or wait to be defeated one by one."
Xie Zhang said: "My Lord, if the guards of the capital are linked together, the capital will definitely be shaken..."
"Send someone to tell them." Qiu Luan said, "When the lips and teeth are gone, they are interdependent!"
Xie Zhang smiled and said, "The capital is shaken, Your Majesty must also worry about his own safety."
……
"The Imperial Guards are not very useful. I have seen most of the generals and they are confused. If they are to go into battle..."
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head, "Not even a single blow!"
"In other words, the Yulin Zuowei is just being perfunctory?" asked Emperor Jiajing.
"No one wants to suffer. The training of the Huben Zuowei is fair to all, from the commander to the soldiers. However, the commanders of the Yulin Zuowei have fair skin, which shows that they did not participate in the training."
"Fair skin?" Emperor Jiajing glanced at his hands, which were slender and fair.
"It's like..." Jiang Qingzhi thought for a moment, "boiled chicken."
In later generations, a certain team was caught in the crossfire.
"In other words, the generals are not up to the task?" Emperor Jiajing grasped the root of the problem.
"Yes." Jiang Qingzhi said, "The generals are just getting by and lack the ability."
"I understand." said Emperor Jiajing.
Jiang Qingzhi took his leave, and Huang Jin sent him out, whispering, "Your Majesty has had a poor appetite these days."
"Why?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"The two princes come to pay their respects and greetings every day, but Your Majesty is not allowed to see them... I feel depressed." Huang Jin smiled bitterly.
"Old Huang, the so-called two dragons cannot meet... that's all. This is like a curse. Even if Your Majesty knows it is false, he is unwilling to touch it."
"In fact, that person's Taoism is quite profound." Huang Jin said.
"Old Huang, if he is so powerful, why can't he change the destiny of the Ming Dynasty?" Jiang Qingzhi turned around.
"Changing the destiny of a country is so important that even the most advanced Taoist skills cannot accomplish it!" Huang Jin said.
"The emperor can change the fate of a country. How can that so-called master change the fate of your majesty and the prince?"
Jiang Qingzhi patted Huang Jin on the shoulder and said, "It's hard for me to persuade you. Old Huang, please think carefully about what I said."
He really hoped that the Taoist priest could break out of that nightmare as soon as possible, walk out of the deep palace, and get out of this cage.
Huang Jin entered the palace, and Emperor Jiajing asked, "What did you mutter?"
Huang Jin looked at his thin face and suddenly burst into tears.
"Hmm!" Emperor Jiajing frowned. "The last time you, Huang Jin, cried was the day when our mother passed away. What happened?"
Huang Jin knelt down, "Your Majesty, if the two dragons don't meet, it will be your prison! Let's get out! Your Majesty!"
He choked up, and the Jiajing Emperor sighed, "Qingzhi's kid... I know that, every time the two children talk to me outside the door... I couldn't help wanting to go out and see them many times, but the prince's previous experience made me dare not, and I couldn't."
"Your Majesty!"
Huang Jin knew the suffering of Emperor Jiajing, and thinking of this, he couldn't help but fall to the ground and cry.
"Alas!" said the Jiajing Emperor, "Although I am an emperor, I have confined myself to a prison. Although it is bitter, I am content with it."
