Chapter 736 Junior Brother Yue Fei, Apprentice Li Xianzhong
The names Li Yongqi and Li Shifu still seemed a bit familiar to Xiao Tang, but he still couldn't figure out whether the father and son had left their own deeds in history. But Xiao Tang took a quick look and saw the expression between his eyebrows.
The courageous and heroic young man had a good feeling in his heart. Coupled with the heroic sacrifice of his uncle Li Yonglie, Xiao Tang planned to support Li Shifu's father to see if he was also suitable for a job in the new army.
.
"Alas... Although our Song Dynasty has sadly lost a good general, Li Dujian died fighting for the country and the people. It can be said that he died a worthy death. I must also report it to the court and pursue my duty.
The seal is to show the loyalty of Governor Li."
Magistrate Yang also let out a long sigh, comforted Li Yongqi with a few gentle words, and then said: "Li Dutou, these commanders Xiao Tang, Xiao Jie, Wang Huan, who led the army to rescue Taiyuan Prefecture,
Wang Jieshuai, Han Cunbao, Han Jieshuai, Yao Pingzhong, Yao Dujian... They know that your brother died for the country, and they also want to promote you to find a career in the army, but they don't know what your intentions are?"
The sad Li Yongqi simply shed tears. He heard from Magistrate Yang that most of the officers and generals present were senior generals who held the position of Jiedushi. He had also heard of Xiao Tang's reputation in officialdom and the world.
He immediately came to Xiao Tang and others and paid homage: "Young man Li Yongqi, although his family background cannot be said to be that of generations of generals, there are still many ancestors in his grandfather's generation who fought in the army and received the teachings of his elder brother.
, the villain is also determined to achieve great fame in the army, so as to live up to the high hopes of his ancestors.
The villain not only struggled with martial arts with his elder brother, but not long after arriving in Taiyuan, he had not made any achievements, but he got the favor of Magistrate Yang and joined me to serve as the head of the Taiyuan government office. Not only was he proficient in bow and arrow, but he also learned a lot of skills.
I have learned the skills of double swords and the eighteen martial arts passed down from my family since I was a child. Today, I am promoted by Commander Xiao Jie and all the lieutenants. If I make an inch of progress, I will wear a saddle on my back and swear to death in return!"
"According to our military system of the Song Dynasty, the families of fallen soldiers are not only exempted from taxes and service, but also given pensions. They can also provide blood for their children to serve as officials. My brother died in the battlefield. Since you also have the heart to serve the country with fists, we will follow suit.
Naturally, I won't neglect promotion. Li Dutou doesn't need to be so polite."
Xiao Tang immediately stepped forward to help Li Yongqi up, but he still stubbornly knelt down on the ground. Instead, he said to his son Li Shifu: "My dear, why don't you come and pay homage to Xiao Jieshuai?"
Hearing this, Li Shifu happily walked to his father's side. He also knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Shuai Xiao, I also heard about your name from my uncle and my father. You are also a soldier."
He is a good man with a good reputation! Today I have shown sympathy to my uncle and praised my father again. I have nothing to repay, so I will kowtow to Xie first!"
After Li Shifu said this, he was about to salute Xiao Tang, but Xiao Tang saw that Li Shifu was young, but his words were capable and lively, and his words and deeds already looked like a arrogant warrior, which made Xiao Tang even more fond of him.
Some good impressions. Just as Xiao Tang was helping Li Shifu up, Li Yongqi who was standing by said flatly: "Xiao Jieshuai, the salary I received from the government office is enough to take care of my wife and dog, but my brother is alone and has not married yet."
.I don’t want any money or food, I just want to follow Commander Xiao Jie and make great achievements, so I am willing to be just a pawn! Only in this way can I have the face to see my parents and brother, even though I am so humble."
Next to him, Yao Pingzhong couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard this, and said to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Jieshuai, it seems that Li Dujian's brother will definitely join you. It's Xie's business to join him and find a military position in the army. ."
Although we still don’t know what Li Yongqi’s abilities are, looking at his character, he is enough to entrust him with tasks and recommend Li Yongqi to be a military attache in the newly established new army. Xiao Tang made up his mind and immediately turned around. He looked at Li Shifu and said: "Although you are still young, judging from your words and deeds, you seem to be a young man with ambitions in your heart. Your Majesty wants to join me and serve the country, what are your plans?"
After hearing this, Li Shifu immediately raised his head, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "Xiao Jieshuai said that I am young, but I also learned some skills in boxing, kicking, and swordsmanship from my uncle and my father. Even if I want to employ people now, I will I must serve you! Whenever Commander Xiao Jie is assigned to do something, don’t say that I, Young Master Li Shifu, am incompetent. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will dare to go for it. I am not afraid of swords and will not fight to the death!"
A few years later, when the entire Song Dynasty was facing the invasion of the Jin army and was in a state of life and death, Xiao Tang's identity had undergone a subversive change, but Li Shifu still fulfilled his promise.
Li Shifu's words were convenient, and Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, Yao Pingzhong and others nearby couldn't help but secretly said hello. Xiao Tang also stepped forward and patted Li Shifu on the shoulder, and said to Li Yongqi: "Since you are so embarrassed, I have ordered you to do so." When planning the Hedong Road, you not only need to expel the enemy chieftains and wipe out the bandits, but also select and train new troops on the Hedong Road. Since you are the head of the cavalry army in the government office and often supervise civil disputes and lawsuits in the city, please bother me first. Li Dutou and the public sorted out the household registration and resettled the refugees.
I will send Wang Jin, the instructor of the new army, to work with you to select brave men to form a new army. Although the new army is initially established, I also plan to give this army more training when conquering the thieves. At that time, I will appoint Li Dutou has unified his troops and is temporarily assigned to a temporary position in the new army. Once approved by the Privy Council of the Capital, you will be given a full military rank."
After Li Yongqi listened to Xiao Tang's words, his sad face finally showed a hint of joy, and he immediately bowed to Xiao Tang again: "I have been promoted and sent by Marshal Xiao, how dare you disobey me!"
Xiao Tang sighed slightly and said: "It is not urgent to have my brother die in battle for the country. Now we must bury his body as soon as possible and teach him to be buried in peace."...
It is said that under the arrangement of Magistrate Yang, someone was sent to ask the helpers of the Gongguo Dojo in the city to bathe Li Yonglie's body with fragrant soup, and then put it in burial clothes, armor and scarves, and stopped it at the house of brothers Li Yonglie and Li Yongqi. Xiao Tang and Wang Huan , Han Cunbao, Yao Pingzhong, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and other officials and generals went to mourn and offer sacrifices. Li Yongqi purchased an inner coffin and an outer coffin, and chose an auspicious time to place them in the main hall of the house. He also built a spiritual curtain and set up a spiritual throne. His own wife, Li Shifu, both wore filial piety, and Jun Jian, the commander of the Taiyuan Prefecture, also wore a filial headscarf to pay homage.
Because brothers Li Yonglie and Li Yongqi were from Qingxi, Suide, after doing several good deeds and achievements, Li Yongqi chose an auspicious day and did not bury his elder brother in the ancestral grave of the clan, but asked someone to ask for help. Mr. Feng Shui found a beautiful place outside the city with beautiful scenery and good Feng Shui for burial. Xiao Tang ordered his generals to lead his troops and the officers and soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture to appease the refugees inside and outside Taiyuan Prefecture. At the same time, he went to pay homage to the tomb and offer incense in person.
Because Xiao Tang also knew very well that in addition to many famous generals in historical records such as Lao, Xiao Zhong, Yue Fei, Niu Gao, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, Qu Duan and many other famous generals whose deeds were widely spread by later generations, in fact, in the history of Chinese wars
Between the lines of "", there are more heroes who also fought to the death for the country, and even died heroically, but their names were only mentioned briefly. Of course, Li Yonglie was also such a figure. In addition to those famous generals who are familiar to future generations, there are many more soldiers who died heroically like Li Yonglie.
It is completely worthy of the word hero. Therefore, to pay homage to such martyrs, Xiao Tang's words and deeds were not sloppy, but respectful and polite.
All of Xiao Tang's actions fell into the eyes of Li Yongqi. He felt that although his brother died loyally and martyrdom for the country, his official position was just a military supervisor in the local military department. However, a high-ranking official like Xiao Tang,
But he was so considerate of his brother. Li Yongqi felt even more grateful to Xiao Tang, and immediately made up his mind to serve under Xiao Tang to the death in order to repay his kindness.
When Xiao Tang and brothers Xiao Jiasui, Hua Rong, Niu Gao, and Shi Xiu paid homage to Li Yonglie and were returning to Taiyuan Mansion to convene their generals to discuss matters, he suddenly heard roars coming from behind the hillside of Li Yonglie's tomb.
Xiao Tang was curious about the sound of the sword, and went to find out with his brother. When they just turned the corner of the mountain, they saw Li Shifu in mourning clothes using his double sword skills, as if he was honing his sword skills.
Although Li Shifu is just a young boy, he can wield the two swords with style in his hands, and he is not inferior to the ordinary martial arts masters who fight in the world. And the power of his swords is obviously becoming more and more powerful, and it seems that
There is also depression and anger in my heart, and I want to vent my anger by wielding my two swords.
