Three people went in, and four came out.
Xie Liangcai followed Xu He and the others silently, not saying a word, but just following.
Xu He stopped and smiled: "Brother Defu, you don't need to come out with us."
Xie Liangcai did not speak. Instead, he waved and asked his servants to bring the carriage over.
After getting on the carriage, the carriage was a bit crowded and no one wanted to talk.
After a long while, Qi Jiguang suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, everyone, why are you silent? I should be the one who suffers, right?"
As soon as this was said, everyone present laughed.
In fact, everyone is afraid. No matter what he says now, it will hurt Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang was moved and clasped his fists and said, "I, Qi Jiguang, am truly blessed to have a few of you to accompany me when we go out together!"
Xie Liangcai sighed and said: "Yuan Jing, to be honest, at the beginning, I was a little disapproving of your status as a warrior."
"But Liang Sheng is right. Just because many military men are humble when they see civil servants, it doesn't mean that they should take it for granted."
"In an era, if dignity is exchanged for background, and background is exchanged for resources, that is the tragedy of this era!"
Xie Liangcai's last words made Xu He's perception of Brother Dev take to a higher level.
Trade dignity for background, trade background for resources.
This is the only way for the lower class to move up through the ages.
Although it cannot be changed, as the son of the Qing family of Dali Temple, he can say such philosophical and transparent words, which still makes people feel that Xie Liangcai is special.
As the one who was severely suppressed by the civil servants in this era, didn't Wu Fu maintain his position by currying favor with the civil servants?
But Xu He disagreed with this policy of using culture to control force.
Our ancestors have said that everything must be done in moderation.
If it was just to avoid the tragedy of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, to suppress the warriors crazily and without a bottom line, that would be overkill.
Yes, the military generals have experienced the national policy of using civility to control military force, and they have indeed become honest.
But such a policy also castrates the blood of a nation.
It’s not that the Han people are weak, it’s not that the Han people have no bones.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, the overwhelming success of one Han as the Five Barbarians was simply due to the innate supernatural power of the Han people at that time?
No, it's not. That's because the country encourages the expansion of territory from the policy level, and it's because the country has nothing to do with civil war from the policy level.
Thinking of this, Xu He's chest stirred, and he turned to Qi Jiguang and said, "Brother Yuan Jing, a question suddenly occurred to me!"
Everyone in the carriage was curious about what question Xu He asked at this time.
Xu He said: "Brother Yuan Jing, in your opinion, why were Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty able to expand their territories, sweep away the barbaric atmosphere, and finally become the emperors of the ages?"
Qi Jiguang frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitated and said: "Liangsheng, are you saying that these dynasties encouraged farming and war and expanding borders?"
Xu He nodded and said: "From the common people to the emperors, and even the aristocratic families, they are all keen on opening up territories. Why? It's just driven by interests. Only with war can military generals have their place. And now, it is you warriors who are the most What a great opportunity!”
Qi Jiguang thought for a while, and suddenly a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
Previously, the country had been at peace for a long time, and military generals had been suppressed.
But everyone here knows what the situation is now.
Although on the surface it seems that this huge empire is still stumbling, in fact it is surrounded by wolves.
Xie Liangcai said: "Liangsheng, when you talk about interests, then the civil servants are the biggest interest group. Even if the country is sinking day by day, will they be willing to give up their rights?"
Xu He sneered: "No, but the situation will make them give up!"
Having said so much, the preface can be boiled down into one sentence.
Xu He said earnestly to Qi Jiguang: "Brother Yuan Jing, the era of you warriors is coming soon. I hope you will not belittle yourself. You are talented and capable, and the days of conquering the sea and the sky are still to come!"
Qi Jiguang's education since he was a child is that he is inferior in everything except reading.
Even the teacher Xie Kun only took a fancy to his ability in marching formations and training weapons and hammers, so he took him with him to teach military strategy.
Apart from this, nothing else is taught.
Every time he wanted to read something else, Xie Kun would just dismiss it with the words "You are old, should you take the Jinshi exam if you continue studying at this time?"
But Xu He described a new world to him that he had never seen before.
There, military generals do not have to rely on civilian officials. They are the defenders of the country and the patron saints of hundreds of millions of people.
This sublime feeling made him so excited that he almost wanted to shout.
At this time, the carriage had arrived at Tongpan Yamen.
Before getting off the car, Xie Liangcai said to Qi Jiguang: "Yuan Jing, if you encounter any difficulties in the future and it is inconvenient for Xiaohe, you can come to me directly!"
Xu He said with a smile: "Brother Defu is a well-connected person and is easy to get along with. You will definitely be able to talk to each other in the future!"
Qi Jiguang looked at Xu He and Xie Liangcai with emotion and said, "Without words, I, Qi Jiguang, will bear in mind the two brothers' protective feelings tonight!"
Xie Liangcai sent the person there and went back by car.
As soon as he entered the back office, Xu He saw his teacher Li Zhijie helping Xie Kun pack his bags.
When Qi Jiguang saw it, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Teacher, are we leaving?"
When Xie Kun saw him and Xu He coming back, he smiled and turned to Xu He: "Your uncle is very well-informed. All the letters he wrote to me have been sent to your teacher!"
Xu He said in surprise: "I didn't say that."
Li Zhijie smiled bitterly and said, "Ziyu, this is actually a letter I wrote to Mr. Xu Ge!"
Xie Kun seemed to have guessed it a long time ago. He said deliberately: "I just ate a few of your meals and you want to drive me away so quickly?"
Li Zhijie shook his head and said seriously: "You are full of talents, how can you be a recluse? When the country is employing people, Mr. Xu Ge also needs your advice and support. I don't want to see you drinking and getting bad, so …”
Xie Kun sighed and said: "Forget it, Little Shigong came into the pavilion alone. It is the time to employ people, so I will just take a walk!"
Li Zhijie turned to Xu He and said: "Xiao Shigong is planning to open the sea ban to ease the congestion. He is also planning to abandon the guard station in Zhejiang to train a new army. I would like to ask your uncle to help..."
help?
Xu He suddenly understood.
If the sea ban is lifted, it will damage the interests of the Shen family in the southeast and the Qin family in Jiangxi. He cannot count on the help of his disciples and old officials, so he must get the support of the emperor.
And Xie Kun, as the emperor's brother-in-law, is the most suitable person to lead the way.
Xie Kun looked at Qi Jiguang at this time and said: "Yuan Jing, I'm going to Beijing. I'll give you a few choices. One is to go back to your hometown in Dengzhou. I will find a way for you to resume your job in three years. The other is to follow me to Beijing. The third is to stay and study with Liang Sheng and the others, don’t you like reading the most?”
Everyone looked at Qi Jiguang, looking forward to what he would choose.
After Qi Jiguang thought for a while, he solemnly said: "Teacher, I want to go to Beijing with you!"
Xie Kun said in surprise: "Oh? This option surprises me."
Qi Jiguang said: "I just heard that Mr. Xu Ge wants to organize and train the new army in Zhejiang. I want to give it a try!"
