In the late Ming Dynasty, there were two good jade ladies, one female and one male, one Qin and the other Zuo.
The behavior of the two people is also very different.
One is loyal and the other has evil intentions.
For a heroine like Qin Liangyu, Zhu Yixi has naturally been famous for a long time.
Emperor Chongzhen was so moved that he composed four poems specifically for her, which was rare in ancient times.
Not only because the other party is full of heroes, but also because the Shizhu chieftain he leads is the leader of the chieftains in eastern Sichuan.
With just one order, tens of thousands of people can easily gather. Who dares to disrespect that?
"Zhu Yixi is deeply honored that Qin Gaoming can come."
Zhu Yixi said with emotion: "As for the Western bandits, all they rely on is strength in numbers. Let me go and kill him completely!!!"
"Okay!" Qin Liangyu cheered loudly and said with a look of relief: "There is a lack of courage like His Highness in the Ming army. If everyone follows His Highness's example, why worry about the traitors being immortalized?"
Qin Yiming on the side looked on, feeling awkward in his heart.
After all, I am the dignified Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Sichuan, why can’t I catch my eye?
After a while, Zhu Yixi turned around and said to the rather embarrassed Qin Yiming:
"General Qin, a while ago, before the fall of Beijing, a decree was sent to grant you the position of Commander-in-Chief of Sichuan."
Finally noticed me.
"I humble my position and thank you for your kindness!"
Qin Yiming was overjoyed, but his face showed sadness as he bowed to the north.
Zhu Yixi shook his head and said softly: "Although you have been awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief, I still have a score to settle with you."
Hearing this, Qin Liangyu and Qin Yiming looked at each other.
"Hmph, last year, Supervisor Sun sent an order, ordering you to go out to Shangluo to attack the intruders. Why was it that when Tongguan was defeated, you were nowhere to be seen?"
Zhu Yixi scolded in a cold voice: "No wonder, Governor Sun's Shangfang sword can't cut off your head?"
"Or do you think that since Governor Sun was defeated and died, he won't be able to settle the score with you?"
These questions made Qin Yiming sweat profusely. His forehead was covered with fine sweat. He lowered his head and did not dare to refute at all.
Qin Liangyu, who was standing aside, looked at his nephew's pitiful appearance, turned his head and ignored him, letting Zhu Yixi press him.
"The last one should die——"
King Hanyang's eyes were like torches, burning his face. Qin Yiming was so ashamed that he couldn't withstand the huge pressure and knelt down directly:
"Disobeying military orders and holding back, I feel ashamed to accept the post of commander-in-chief. I hope your Majesty will punish you..."
Zhu Yixi squinted her eyes, watching him lower his head to admit his mistake, his eyes were red, and tears of regret burst out of his eyes, showing unspeakable sincerity.
It's a pity that such acting skills can only be used by people close to me.
If it hadn't been for questioning today, would Qin Yiming have confessed? Absolutely not.
Therefore, this performance was not only for him, but also for Qin Liangyu.
Zhu Yixi glanced at Qin Liangyu. Although the female general turned her head, she still cared about him out of the corner of her eye.
After all, he is a nephew, and no matter how serious his sin is, he will still be forgiven in his heart.
Loyalty and favoritism are not mutually exclusive. I'm afraid she already knew about this but kept it secret.
After a long time, Qin Yiming's tears of regret almost accumulated into a pool, and then Zhu Yixi sighed softly:
"I can't blame you for that. That battle was a losing battle."
Qin Yiming was happy.
"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. First, beat him with thirty military sticks, and then perform meritorious service to see the consequences."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!"
Qin Liangyu turned his head, and his old face was filled with relief: "This evildoer should have been beaten to death with a stick, but it is a blessing to have His Highness's generosity now."
"You are so evil, you still don't thank me!"
After being kicked, Qin Yiming hurriedly stood up and thanked him: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness. I am ashamed of my humble position!"
"General Qin, I only give you one chance. I hope there won't be another chance."
Zhu Yixi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Next, you have to work hard to eliminate the Western bandits."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the general will do his best and will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
Qin Yiming was overjoyed to have escaped the disaster and couldn't help but promise.
Seeing this, Zhu Yixi nodded and waved his hand, and Qin Yiming was taken down to beat him with a military stick.
He is smiling.
I had been suppressed in my heart for a long time and was finally released. This feeling was so refreshing.
Being in limbo is the most uncomfortable thing.
After this episode, Qin Liangyu's attitude became much more respectful.
After some careful analysis, she also saw the methods of King Hanyang.
Although I feel distressed, there is nothing I can do about it. He is Sun Chuanting's son-in-law, and the reason is legitimate, reasonable and legal, so I can't say anything wrong.
Even if he was dragged down and beheaded just now, she would not have any objection.
"The Qin Dynasty decreed that the fate of the country was very bad. There were intruders before us and there were bandits from the West behind us. We should work together to revive the Ming Dynasty!"
After the interlude, Zhu Yixi welcomed Qin Liangyu in, and then sat and chatted with each other.
With these words, Qin Liangyu fell into thinking.
It was obvious that King Hanyang was trying to win over her and took a fancy to the soldiers and horses in her hands.
Logically speaking, after what happened just now, she should bow her head, but she couldn't.
Chieftain Shizhu was loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
If Emperor Chongzhen of Beijing is gone, then he will be loyal to Emperor Hongguang of Nanjing. As for King Hanyang, he cannot represent the Nanjing court, let alone the Ming Dynasty.
"Qin Liangyu will never back down when we destroy the Western thieves. I hope His Highness can rest assured."
"nature!"
Zhu Yixi nodded, feeling unhappy.
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. I will listen to you in destroying the Western bandits. Forget about other matters!
However, he currently has no intention of rebelling against Nan Ming, so he can still suppress this unpleasantness.
After crossing this threshold and having something in common, Qin Liangyu was quite happy.
"Now that the king is helping me, I can recruit more than ten thousand native soldiers to help. When the time comes, I will be able to eliminate the Western bandits and save more effort."
Zhu Yixi nodded. Although the combat effectiveness of the native soldiers was not the same as before, it still made up for the shortcomings of the Qin army.
Mountain infantry.
The native soldiers are good at mountain warfare, climbing over mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. In hilly areas like Sichuan and the south, the native soldiers are the best arms.
He believed that as long as he prepared enough armors and weapons and trained a little, he would be able to perform unexpected surprises.
"With the help of the local soldiers ordered by Qin, we are just waiting to annihilate the Western thieves."
Zhu Yixi appreciated it and then said: "Don't worry, the local soldiers are helping us out. Whether it's casualty compensation or money and food, they will be the same as our army."
Hearing this assurance, Qin Liangyu felt relieved.
Qin Yiming was quickly carried over after being beaten.
Although his butt was hurt, he had a relaxed smile on his face.
"I have learned a lesson from my humble position. I just want to follow the king and atone for my sins."
Qin Yiming said sincerely.
Zhu Yixi naturally agreed.
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while.
