Li Ji didn't even expect that Li Qinzai went to Jiangnan with this idea in mind.
From ancient times to the present, land annexation has been a root problem that has troubled dynasty rulers. Unfortunately, few people can solve this problem. At most, they can only ease it and continue the country.
Li Ji did not expect that his grandson would be so courageous and dare to try to solve the root cause of this problem that has not been solved for thousands of years.
Don't judge a hero based on his success or failure. When he went to Jiangnan, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, Li Qinzai's ambition already made Li Ji admire him.
Dare to fight and rush, it’s great to be young.
Li Ji couldn't help but have this idea pop up in his mind.
When you envy others' youth, it means you are really old.
"Qin Zai, I am going to Jiangnan. I don't know how to help you. I have only one wish. No matter success or failure, you must keep yourself safe. This time you are going straight to someone else's lair. If they go crazy, everything will happen. You can do it.”
"You will take five hundred people with you in the first part of the family, and Xue Rengui's troops will accompany you. Remember not to keep a low profile any longer. The full ceremonial guard of the Duke of Tang Dynasty is displayed in a swaggering manner, which will make people feel fearful, so they will not act too arrogantly."
"I will also edit books for some disciples and former officials in Jiangnan, so that they can take more care of you."
"Although Jiangnan is controlled by noble families, it is not to the point where it can cover the sky with one hand. You are the emperor's imperial envoy. Those noble families will not kill you unless they are in desperate situation."
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa, that's enough. My grandson went to the south of the Yangtze River to hunt for heaven, not to enter the gates of hell. With Xue Rengui leading the army to protect me, my grandson has become more courageous and is not afraid of others doing anything to me."
Li Ji shook his head: "Don't underestimate the powerful nobles and landowners of the aristocratic families. When they counterattack crazily, they will do anything. I will personally report to you tomorrow and ask your Majesty to approve 500 three-eyed blunderbuss to equip me, the Li family, when I return to Chang'an." Return it again, in short, your own safety is the first priority."
Although the army of the Tang Dynasty is now generally equipped with firearms, firearms are still a secret. The army will only issue them during war, and it is impossible for ordinary civil servants and generals to equip them.
Fortunately, Li Qinzai was the inventor of firearms and gunpowder, and the significance of this trip was very important. Li Ji's application to be equipped with firearms was not a big problem.
…………
The decree from the palace had not yet arrived, so Li Qinzai waited patiently at home.
It is a simple matter for an imperial envoy to patrol a place, but Li Qinzai's patrol has a different meaning. Li Zhi attaches great importance to it. Before Li Qinzai leaves Beijing, Li Zhi must first mobilize the Beijing guards and horses and hand them over to Xue Rengui to select a general to lead.
Once troops and horses are mobilized, food and fodder are raised, ordnance is distributed, routes are drawn, etc., all require very complicated preparations in advance, so Li Qinzai will not be able to leave Beijing for a while.
Before the decree came, Li Qinzai seized the time to spend more time with his elders, wives and children in the mansion. Of course, he was not idle at night when he went to bed.
There was not enough time, so the number of people came together. Perhaps due to the atmosphere of leaving Beijing, the ladies in the backyard were particularly gentle and considerate to him these days, almost obedient.
So Li Qinzai finally realized Xiao Xiba and Xiao Baga's wish to be slept together.
Originally, Jin Dayan and Ha Ye Zanliang were reluctant. After all, one was the goddess doctor of Goguryeo, and the other was the eldest daughter of the emperor of Japan. They both had extraordinary status, and it was enough to marry many husbands, wives, and concubines. Everyone lined up to take their turn.
Yes, but at the same time, the two wives and concubines were sleeping together, and they couldn't shame it.
Helpless, Li Qinzai is good at using tricks, tricks of bitter flesh, tricks of bitter feelings, tricks of separation and farewell, and tricks of longing for lovesickness...
The two girls couldn't resist Li Qinzai's offensive, and finally, on a dark and windy night, where typical villains were haunted, they shyly surrendered.
The hometown of gentleness is the Tomb of Heroes. When he got up the next day, Li Qinzai, who had a sore back and a sore back, lost his will and suddenly did not want to leave Chang'an and go to Jiangnan.
A man's dream has come true, so why bother working so hard?
In the afternoon, an unexpected guest came to the Duke's Mansion.
The guest is an acquaintance. He and Li Qinzai fought side by side in the past, and they are comrades-in-arms.
Cheng Boxian, nicknamed Shangxian, is the eldest grandson of Cheng Yaojin, the demon king.
The Battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese state of Baijiangkou was a complete victory. After the war, Li Qinzai took six thousand soldiers equipped with three-eyed muskets and returned to Dengzhou from Baekje in a naval warship.
On the way, Li Qinzai suddenly realized that it was difficult to calm down, so he conspired with his subordinates to change the warship's route, land on the Japanese island, and destroy the Japanese country in one go.
There was also a deputy general on the warship at that time, that was Cheng Boxian.
Li Qinzai on the warship didn't know what Cheng Boxian was thinking and didn't bother to guess, so he ordered Liu Asi to trick him.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Boxian was really stunned. He didn't knock him down after several blows, but he screamed in pain.
There was no other way, so Li Qinzai had no choice but to tell his intention quickly. Cheng Boxian was also eager to make a contribution at that time, so the two hit it off and worked together in a conspiracy.
It's a pity that Cheng's family and grandson were unjustly and inexplicably beaten.
After landing on the main island of Japan, Li Qinzai and Cheng Boxian cooperated with each other and led only 6,000 firearms and soldiers to annihilate the Japanese country, killing countless people and forcing the Japanese leader to sign an alliance under the city.
It was also at that time that the leader of the Japanese kingdom presented the emperor's eldest daughter, Kono Sanryo, as a peace envoy to witness the good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries within a narrow strip of water. The peace envoy fulfilled her duties and has now become Li Qinzai's concubine.
The destruction of the Japanese state was a great achievement, and Li Qinzai took the lion's share of the credit. Li Zhi did not treat Cheng Boxian unfairly. After returning to Chang'an, he even made Cheng Boxian the Right Guard Zhonglang General, and the declining Cheng family stopped its decline.
The industry is gradually showing a trend of recovery.
Later, Cheng Boxian was probably addicted to sailing, so he was transferred to Sun Renshi's navy as deputy general. He served for many years, but he often wrote letters to Li Qinzai. I heard that Cheng Boxian was promoted to an official position last year and became the commander-in-chief of Quanzhou Navy.
Li Qinzai, an old friend and former comrade-in-arms of Paoze, was particularly surprised by Cheng Boxian's arrival, so he went out of his way and ordered a banquet to be held in his mansion.
Cheng Boxian is much stronger than before, and his skin is darker than that of the Kunlun slaves. It is obvious that he has been working very hard in the navy in recent years, and it is really not easy for a famous general to live in the future.
Stepping into the courtyard, Li Qinzai came forward to greet him, and Cheng Boxian started shouting with a loud voice.
"Wow hahaha! Brother Jingchu, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so handsome. Brother Yu feels ashamed in front of you..."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "There is nothing better to compare. Comparing your appearance with me is not only embarrassing yourself, but also humiliating yourself."
When the two met, they looked at each other and smiled, then hugged each other vigorously and patted each other on the back.
The feelings between the comrades in arms at Paoze are so direct and joyful, without so many pretentious salutes and bows.
There was a banquet in the hall, but Cheng Boxian was not in a hurry to drink. Instead, he asked Li Qinzai to take him into the backyard. After meeting Li Ji and Li Siwen, they returned to the front hall.
