Qingzhou was first established here during the Sui Dynasty, but later it was abandoned several times. The place name Qingzhou was no longer used during the Five Dynasties. However, when Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he set up Qingzhou Tengzheng in Qingzhou. Later, the ancient name Qingzhou was restored, and a large number of materials and grass were stored here, and there were also large troops guarding it, making Qingzhou a military center in the northwest of the Song Dynasty.

When Li Zhang and his musket camp arrived here, they did not attract much attention, because there were a lot of troops coming in and out of Qingzhou City every day, and only 500 people were nothing. Moreover, if ordinary troops did not have a transfer order, they would not be able to enter the city. So as soon as Li Zhang and his team arrived at the city of Qingzhou, they were arranged to temporarily stay in the military camp outside the city.

According to the rules, Li Zhang and the others must report to the local government in Qingzhou, especially the yamen of the Huanqing Road Chief Supervisor, and they are their immediate superiors. If the musket camp wants to go to the battlefield to fight, they must also need the arrangements of the yamen of the yamen.

However, when Li Zhang wanted to visit the pacifier in Qingzhou City, he received a message that made him helpless. Because the original pacifier was Ding Wei's man, the pacifier was dismissed after Ding Wei's fall, and the new pacifier had not yet taken office, so Li Zhang could not find anyone if he wanted to visit him.

In desperation, Li Zhang could only ask Hu Yan Shouxin to continue training the musket camp and try not to let the soldiers go out. After all, they are not familiar with the place here, and even if there is any problem, they can't even find someone.

Jin Xiaomei and Mrs. Jin have been arranged by Li Zhang to an inn in Gyeongju City. After all, it is not convenient for them to live in the military camp. As for Jinshan, it is not in Gyeongju City, but in another small town near the border, near the border, which also falls under the jurisdiction of Gyeongju City, and many exiled prisoners work there.

Originally, Jin Xiaomei and Mrs. Jin were about to find Jinshan, but Li Zhang was worried about their safety and wanted to accompany them. However, he was now in military orders and had no choice but to move forward without the consent of his superiors. So he could only advise them to wait patiently for a few more days. He had already received the exact news that the new comforter would arrive in the next two days.

Early that morning, Li Zhang was awakened again by the sound of horns in the military camp. Speaking of which, he was really lazy, and had never participated in the exercises in the camp. He even had to sleep until dawn every day before getting up. I'm afraid that there was no more relaxing battalion commander in the entire Song Dynasty than him.

When Li Zhang got up and washed up, he was about to go to Qingzhou City to find out the news and visit the Jin family's mother and daughter, but he didn't expect that the military supervisor Qin Huaizhi actually found him with a smile and said, "Is the commander you going to enter the city?"

"Yes, you have something to do with the Chief Qin Army?" Li Zhang nodded and asked casually.

"If the commander makes it convenient for you, I want to go into the city with you and buy something at the same time." Qin Huaizhi smiled again at this time.

"No problem, let's go now!" Li Zhang nodded immediately. Anyway, he was bored to enter the city by himself, so he could still chat on the road with one more Qin Huaizhi.

Because Qin Huaizhi wanted to buy a lot of things, the two of them did not ride horses, but instead took a carriage out of the camp gate. Although Qingzhou City is a military center, it is also the economic center of the northwest area. There are also many vehicles entering and leaving the city gate. Li Zhang and his team lined up for half an hour before entering the city gate. The street was also very lively, and there was a variety of shops on both sides of the street. Of course, there was no way to compare with Tokyo City.

Li Zhang first went to the inn to visit the Jin family's mother and daughter, chatted for a few words before saying goodbye and leaving. Then he went to the yamen to inquire about the situation. Everyone in the yamen already knew him and told him with certainty that at most, the new yamen would take office in the next two days, which made Li Zhang finally relieved.

When Li Zhang went to do a serious business, Qin Huaizhi also went shopping separately with him. At noon, the two of them came to the agreed restaurant for lunch and prepared to go back. However, when they got on the carriage again, Li Zhang found that the things Qin Huaizhi bought were all things like incense, candles, paper money, etc.

"Qin Jianjun, you... are you going to worship relatives and friends?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he looked at the incense, candles and paper money on the carriage.

"I'm not hiding the commander, my adoptive father was buried near Qingzhou. I have come to worship him several times before, but the capital is too far from Qingzhou. The last time I worshiped was two years ago. Now I don't know if anyone is taking care of his adoptive father's tomb?" When Qin Huaizhi mentioned his adoptive father, a look of pride and admiration flashed across his face.

"Entertainment Father? Why is your adoptive father buried here?" Li Zhang also showed a surprised expression when he heard this and asked again. Qin Huaizhi was an eunuch. As far as Li Zhang knew, eunuchs were unable to have children, it was very popular to recognize adopted sons. However, eunuchs in the Song Dynasty were not as powerful as eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary people generally looked down on eunuchs, so the adopted sons accepted by eunuchs are usually eunuchs, or relatives adopted younger generations to them, so Qin Huaizhi's adoptive father is also likely to be eunuchs.

When he heard Li Zhang's inquiry, Qin Huaizhi once again showed a proud expression and said, "Talking about my adopted father's name, Commander Li, you may have heard of it. His surname is Qin, with a single name of Han. He also had great military achievements during his lifetime. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Observer of Beizhou and the governor of the Zhangguo Army by the former emperor!"

"Qin Han?" Li Zhang felt very familiar when he heard Qin Huaizhi's adopted father's name, and then suddenly woke up, "It turns out that he is the famous Qin Duzhi. Qin Supervisor, you are the adopted son of Qin Duzhi?"

There were many eunuchs who could lead troops to fight in history, and Qin Han was one of them. Compared with other eunuchs, Qin Han not only could lead troops, but also often supervised the battle formation. It is said that he suffered as many as 49 places on the battlefield. He also participated in the resistance to the Khitan, attacked Dangxiang, and quelled domestic rebellions. In particular, Qin Han once repeatedly suggested killing Li Jiqian, Li Yuanhao's grandfather, but unfortunately Zhao Heng refused, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with Xixia later.

What is even more rare is that Qin Han not only made great achievements in military achievements, but also did not take credit, took power, and did not seek personal gain. Before his death, he had no wealth in his family. Even the Grand Secretary Yang Yi, who wrote the tombstone for him, said that Qin Han was kind and generous and had no wealth in his family, so he also wrote an inscription for Qin Han for free. Unfortunately, due to the war, the inscription could not be passed down.

"Yes, I'm lucky to be able to take care of his life and daily life in his foster father's later years. But his foster father saw that I was pitiful and had no support in the palace, so he accepted me as his adopted son. Unfortunately, I couldn't learn all his skills at all!" Qin Huaizhi said at the end, and his face showed a disappointed expression. If he had the ability of Qin Han, he would not have been able to be a small military supervisor in his thirties.

Li Zhang didn't expect that Qin Huaizhi had such a background. He looked at him again in surprise, and then immediately said, "I didn't expect that Qin Duzhi's tomb is here. Since Qin Jianjun, you are going to worship, it's better to go together tomorrow. I also want to give a stick of incense for the veteran general Qin. At the same time, I hope that the spirit of Qin in the sky can bless us with a smooth expedition!"

Li Zhang really admired Qin Han, the eunuch with great military achievements. It would be fine if he didn't know it before, but now that he knows it, he naturally cannot pretend that he has not seen it. And no matter what the other party's background is, he deserves his respect for being able to make such contributions to the country.

When he heard that Li Zhang also wanted to worship his adopted father together, Qin Huaizhi was of course reluctant to ask for it. Then Li Zhang asked him about Qin Han. Only then did he learn that although Qin Han was from Hebei and had fought against the Khitan army many times in his early years, he was later transferred to the northwest to serve and attacked the Dangxiang people many times. Later, he was transferred back to the capital when he was old. However, after Qin Han died, he asked to bury himself in the northwest, rather than his hometown Hebei.

"Why is this? Is the old general Qin's fault?" Li Zhang frowned when he heard Qin Huaizhi's words, because as far as he knew, eunuchs were very discriminated against and even the family did not recognize them. Therefore, eunuchs could not enter the ancestral tomb after their death. Although Qin Han had great military achievements, he might also be rejected by the family.
