Chapter 239 The Lin family is in a big trouble [seeking a monthly ticket]
Seeing the change in the expression on his father's face, even Lin Pingzhi knew that he might have really gotten into trouble this time. He couldn't help crying and said: "Father, my child..."
Lin Zhennan took a deep breath, glared at Lin Pingzhi fiercely, turned around, bowed his hands to the two soldiers and said, "Lin has seen two generals!"
The two soldiers did not dare to claim their identity. When they saw this, they quickly said: "I am just a soldier under uncle's command, and I can't be called a general."
It was not just a day or two when Dingwu Bo Cheng Xiangwu came to Fuzhou to recruit troops. The Lin family was not a small family in Fuzhou City, so they naturally knew some stories about Cheng Xiangwu.
How Cheng Xiangwu rose up in the military, and was even named Uncle Uncle because of his military exploits, is widely known throughout the world.
Even if Cheng Xiangwu is regarded by many scholars as a minion of the eunuch Chu Yi, it is undeniable that Cheng Xiangwu's military achievements are real and no one can refute this, especially since the other party was awarded the title of Earl of Ming Dynasty.
It was the most difficult thing for the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty to obtain titles. They could not be granted titles without military merit. This was something that all Ming emperors adhered to.
This can be seen from the fact that there have been very few honorable ministers since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, it is because the Ming Dynasty has fewer foreign wars, and soldiers have no chance to make meritorious deeds, so naturally there are not many people.
Being able to obtain a title also shows how stingy the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were about titles, which also reflects the nobility of the Ming title.
Lin Zhennan knew very well that Uncle Dingwu was a pure warrior, and he was also a warrior with the title of Ming Dynasty. In Fuzhou City, even if the prefect looked down on his status as a warrior, he did not dare to provoke him.
.
After all, there is a widespread rumor in the world that Cheng Xiangwu is the minion of the eunuch Chu Yi. Who doesn't know that in today's world, the person who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people is the general manager Chu Yi.
Any official who offends this man will be in trouble. The backer behind Cheng Xiangwu is Chu Yi. It is conceivable that not many people dare to offend this uncle.
He carefully invited the two soldiers into the living room and served tea. Lin Zhennan glanced at Lin Ping and said to the two soldiers with a bitter smile on his face: "Two military masters, Lin has only
A guy like Pingzhi can't bear to join the military. I wonder how he can be accommodating?"
The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them glanced at Lin Zhennan and said, "Very few people can change the decision of our uncle, Mr. Lin. If Mr. Lin had not gone to see my uncle, maybe our family would be better."
My uncle will show his dignity and let Mr. Lin off!"
Lin Zhennan nodded slightly, bowed to the two soldiers and thanked them: "Thank you very much, Lin. I will take my son to see my uncle now!"
The two soldiers led Lin Zhennan straight to Cheng Xiangwu's foothold in Fuzhou City.
There were constant shouts of killing in a military camp outside the city. Although Chu Yi ordered Cheng Xiangwu to come to the coastal areas to recruit naval officers, Cheng Xiangwu selected a group of young men with excellent water skills and gathered them in the army. However, this training was
Didn't fall.
Before even approaching the military camp, Lin Zhennan heard the bursts of shouts of killing, and was shocked.
Lin Zhennan has been traveling as a escort all year round. It can be said that he has been to all the mountains and seas, and he has seen soldiers from all over the country. However, he has never seen such enthusiastic soldiers in the military training as Cheng Xiang.
With such energy, as long as the soldiers are not too bad, they can be considered an elite army.
Just when Lin Zhennan was thinking about this, the soldier who went to the camp to support him came with a token.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, the soldiers guarding the camp gate checked the tokens before letting Lin Zhennan and Lin Pingzhi into the main area of the military camp.
Walking into the military camp, I immediately saw groups of soldiers conducting drills under the leadership of the young master's corps commander, small flag, and general flag officer. Just looking at the posture, it can be seen that this group of troops has quite a military appearance.
I believe that if we continue to practice, we will be able to obtain an elite force in less than half a year.
Passing through some camps, you can see a military tent in the distance. It is the military tent of Dingwu Bocheng Xiangwu, the commander of this team.
Cheng Xiangwu had obviously returned to the camp from the city, otherwise there would be no need for Lin Zhennan to come to the camp to see Cheng Xiangwu.
However, Cheng Xiangwu was a martial artist, but he was not staying in the camp at this moment. Instead, he was practicing marksmanship in an open space in front of the camp.
Cheng Xiangwu's personal guards were all around, and they all looked at their uncle with gleaming eyes like a dragon in the field, and they were dazzled by his exquisite marksmanship.
When Lin Zhennan came closer under the guidance of his own soldiers, he happened to see Cheng Xiangwu who was practicing marksmanship.
At first glance, Lin Zhennan couldn't help but be shocked. Lin Zhennan's cultivation level was at best a second-rate figure in the world, so his martial arts cultivation level was not that great.
But this does not mean that Lin Zhennan has poor eyesight. After just watching for a while, Lin Zhennan was secretly shocked, because the killing force displayed by Cheng Xiangwu in the army was far beyond his imagination.
Lin Zhennan asked himself that with his own cultivation level, if he entered the arena to fight with Cheng Xiangwu, he couldn't even guarantee that he would be able to withstand three moves.
In his heart, he was horrified by Cheng Xiangwu's powerful martial arts. Just when Lin Zhennan was distracted, a cold light suddenly came straight towards him.
Lin Zhennan exclaimed almost instinctively. He swayed and saw the spear passing by his body. Lin Pingzhi, who was watching Cheng Xiangwu and was fascinated by the spear practice, couldn't help but exclaimed and subconsciously punched Cheng Xiangwu.
He hit him and shouted: "Don't hurt father!"
Cheng Xiangwu put away his gun and stood up, holding Lin Pingzhi's fist firmly in his hand with one hand. At this moment, Lin Zhennan reacted and saw that Lin Pingzhi actually punched Cheng Xiangwu. His expression changed greatly, and he fell down with a thud.
Standing on the ground, he said in shock: "Pingzhi is young and ignorant. If I have offended my uncle, please forgive me."
His hand shook slightly, and Lin Pingzhi felt a strong force coming from him. He involuntarily took a few steps back before regaining his balance.
Looking at Cheng Xiangwu, Lin Pingzhi's eyes were full of surprise.
Cheng Xiangwu took a step forward and helped Lin Zhennan up. He laughed happily and said, "Your Majesty is Lin Zhennan, the chief escort of the Fuwei Escort Bureau, who is famous in Fuzhou City. Mr. Lin Lin, please!"
Lin Zhennan said with a wry smile: "It's just a cheap name, but it has tainted my uncle's ears!"
Cheng Xiangwu waved his hand and said: "Cheng is just a warrior. Fortunately, he achieved some military exploits in the army and gained the love of the general manager and the emperor. Only then can he be where he is today. Mr. Lin, the bodyguard, does not need to be cautious."
This is said, but after all, Lin Zhennan was escorting escorts all over the world, and often had to deal with the government. He understood the power of the government better than many people in the world.
Precisely because he knew how powerful the government was, Lin Zhennan was so in awe of Cheng Xiangwu, the uncle of the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, the Lin family, despite its small reputation in the world, can be considered a wealthy gentry in Fuzhou City. However, if they really offend the government, the Lin family will be ruined overnight.
Lin Zhennan did not feel any malice from Cheng Xiangwu. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said respectfully to Cheng Xiangwu: "Uncle, I am ignorant, but I am valued by my uncle. I am a soldier under my uncle. This is my honor.
In the past, Mr. Lin also had a relationship with the Governor of Chu. It is pity that my Lin family only has a single seedling like Pingzhi. I would like to ask the general to take care of one or two, so that my Lin family will not be cut off from the incense inheritance."
Lin Pingzhi couldn't help being stunned, and looked at his father in astonishment. Didn't his father come here to plead with this uncle to let him leave the military camp? How come in the blink of an eye, he turned into a hope that the other party could take care of him?
Oneself, one or two, are you going to enter the military camp?
When Lin Pingzhi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. That was a military camp. Although he was young, he knew what a military camp was like. It was fine if he was not in war. Once he encountered a chaotic situation, he would not be able to do anything.
Be careful, you may lose your life.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiangwu couldn't help but look at Lin Zhennan in surprise and said, "Oh, Mr. Lin, the escort chief, actually had a relationship with the chief steward?"
Lin Zhennan smiled awkwardly. The one-time relationship he said was just a boast, but for Lin Pingzhi, Lin Zhennan could only hold on and said: "Back in the land of Jiangnan, I was lucky enough to have a relationship with the governor.
.”
Cheng Xiangwu couldn't help laughing and said: "I never thought that there would be such a relationship. I saw that Lin Pingzhi's qualifications were not bad before, and I wanted to recruit him as a personal guard because of his hunting heart. Now, since the head of the bodyguard Lin is like this
"General, I don't want to force you to do anything, so I will send someone to remove Lin Pingzhi's name."
Hearing this, a look of hesitation flashed in Lin Zhennan's eyes. He looked at Lin Pingzhi, took a deep breath, bowed to Cheng Xiangwu and said respectfully: "Lin is bold, please ask your uncle to keep this child Pingzhi by your side as a gift."
It is also a blessing for this child to be able to be trained by his uncle as a personal soldier."
Cheng Xiangwu was not a fool. Lin Zhennan clearly did not want Lin Pingzhi to become a member of the army, but now he begged him to keep him by his side. This naturally made Cheng Xiangwu quite puzzled.
However, seeing Lin Zhennan's sincere look, Cheng Xiangwu looked at Lin Pingzhi and said slowly: "Lin Pingzhi, it's up to you to decide this matter. This general gives you a chance to stay as a
It is up to you to choose whether to serve as my general's personal guard or leave. No matter what choice you make, my general will do what you wish."
Lin Zhennan on the side heard this and immediately said to Lin Pingzhi: "Pingzhi, my uncle loves you so much, why don't you come forward to thank me for your kindness!"
Lin Pingzhi looked at Lin Zhennan with a puzzled expression. He didn't know why his father suddenly changed his mind. But looking at the stern look in his father's eyes, Lin Pingzhi knew that his father was not joking, but was serious.
Ask him to join the army.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Pingzhi glanced at Lin Zhennan, took a deep breath, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Cheng Xiangwu and said respectfully: "Pingzhi is so loved by Uncle Cheng that he is willing to serve as a soldier for the general and serve him."
The work of dogs and horses!”
Cheng Xiangwu looked at the father and son. Although he didn't know why Lin Zhennan suddenly changed his mind and let Lin Pingzhi join the army, from the beginning, Cheng Xiangwu took a fancy to Lin Pingzhi's qualifications and had previously promised to give Lin Pingzhi
An opportunity to choose was also because Lin Zhennan said that he had met Chu Yi once.
Now that Lin Pingzhi and his son had made their choice, Cheng Xiangwu laughed and said: "Okay, I have another talented person under my general's command!"
Lin Zhennan looked at Cheng Xiangwu and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Cheng Xiangwu patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder and said: "This general will give you three days' leave. You can go back to the city with your father to deal with family affairs. After three days, you should return to the camp on time, otherwise you will be treated as a deserter!"
Lin Pingzhi said respectfully: "Pingzhi obeys your order!"
Lin Zhennan said respectfully to Cheng Xiangwu: "Thank you so much, Uncle Lin!"
Watching Lin Zhennan and his son leave, a close confidant of Cheng Xiangwu couldn't help but curiously asked Cheng Xiangwu: "My uncle seems to have a different regard for Lin Pingzhi. Could it be that this person really has something to do with the chief manager?"
Cheng Xiangwu glared at the confidant, and said with a sparkle in his eyes: "When I said goodbye to the chief manager, the chief manager inadvertently mentioned the father and son of the Lin family in Fuzhou City. Maybe the manager didn't mean it, but no matter what
In this way, it is definitely not that simple for the Lin family and his son to get into the eyes of the general manager."
A look of surprise flashed in the confidant's eyes and he said: "So the general tried to recruit Lin Pingzhi into the army."
Cheng Xiangwu chuckled and said: "This is just a piece of cake for me, but if there is something about Lin and his son that really deserves the attention of the manager, then my actions today may have unexpected gains in the future.
"
Who said Cheng Xiangwu was just a fool? It was impossible for a brainless warrior to be valued so highly by Chu Yi and entrusted with important tasks.
Such an important matter as establishing the navy is almost related to whether Chu Yi can successfully open the sea in the future. Chu Yi can leave it to Cheng Xiangwu to handle it, which shows that Cheng Xiangwu is definitely not just a warrior as outsiders think.
But it was said that Lin Pingzhi and his son had left the military camp. After leaving the military camp, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but said to Lin Zhennan: "Father, why did you want your child to join the army just now?"
Lin Zhennan looked at Lin Pingzhi, let out a long sigh and said, "Don't blame me on my father. If it weren't for my Lin family's imminent disaster, my father would not have let you, Pingzhi, join the army to fight for your life."
"What? Is my Lin family in trouble?"
Lin Zhennan looked at Lin Pingzhi's shocked look, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Pingzhi: "Now that you have grown up, and this time you have joined the army, so some things, for
Father will not hide it from you."
Lin Pingzhi took the letter in confusion. Looking at the content of the letter, Lin Pingzhi's face couldn't help but change. He was shocked: "The Qingcheng faction actually wants to accuse my Lin family!"
Lin Zhennan nodded and said: "Although my Lin family can be regarded as a wealthy gentry in Fuzhou City, it is far inferior to that of Qingcheng, especially the narrow-minded Yu Canghai. This time our Lin family was...
Seizing the handle, my father is worried that Yu Canghai will not let it go."
Not to mention Yu Canghai's notorious reputation, just by looking at the accusatory tone in the letter, any fool could tell that Yu Canghai would never let the Lin family off so easily when he came to Fuzhou this time.
Lin Pingzhi said with a look of shame on his face: "Father, it's all my fault that the boy was so reckless that he accidentally killed that Qingcheng disciple and brought such disaster to our Lin family."
Lin Zhennan patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder and said: "Maybe I am worried about my father in vain. Maybe we will be able to turn our hostility into friendship with the Qingcheng faction by then!"
Lin Pingzhi shook his head and said: "Father, please don't deceive yourself. Although Pingzhi is young, he has also heard about Yu Canghai's character. If Yu Canghai didn't have an agenda this time, how could a mere disciple work for him so far away?"
Traveling thousands of miles from the land of Sichuan and Sichuan to Fuzhou, the other party mobilized troops and came here, which shows that this matter cannot be settled easily."
Lin Zhennan couldn't help but look at Lin Pingzhi with a look of surprise. Lin Pingzhi had been spoiled by him and his wife since he was a child. His young mind was such that he didn't understand the dangers of the human heart. He never thought that Lin Pingzhi would have such insight.
Being able to express such an insight, how could Lin Zhennan not be extremely surprised?
I have to say that walking around the military camp and witnessing his father kneeling down to beg Cheng Xiangwu greatly stimulated Lin Pingzhi, making him suddenly realize that the troubles he had caused in his daily life had brought to his father.
Such an influence also allowed Lin Pingzhi to learn a great lesson from it, and he grew a lot as a person.
If it weren't for Chu Yi to flap his wings, Lin Pingzhi would have gone through a series of life changes from a simple boy, and finally become a pitiful man bent on revenge. It can only be said that if Lin Pingzhi could understand more about the sinister nature of people's hearts, he might not have
To end up in such a situation.
