Chapter 30: Cultivating the Mind
Chen Mu will always remember the picture of Qi Jiguang drinking blood and drinking wine with 20,000 officers and soldiers and swearing poison, because he finally found another person who disrespected ghosts and gods in this era.
He knew that Qi Jiguang on the stage knew that he was lying.
Because in the next fifteen years, Qi Jiguang will break his oath again and again.
He will continue to give gifts and bribes to the officials of the first auxiliary and second assistants, and even in the end, Jiliao's accounts cannot be checked, in exchange for holding the military power of Gyeonggi, bringing up the strongest troops, building the strongest defense line in the northern part of the empire, and relying on this defense line, the northern captives will not dare to violate the border for 18 years.
In the fifteenth year, he suffered a liquidation, transferred to Guangdong in the south, and heard about the border trouble again in the eighteenth year, the veteran wore armor and rode a war horse, but what he was waiting for was that the official who invited him to fight was considered by the official to be the same party and won the money, and a generation of generals fell into the unknown night.
When he died, his family had no money to spare, and he died of illness alone.
He said that it was not my intention to be a marquis, but I hope that the sea will be peaceful.
For decades, the painstaking border towns have been beaten into a sieve, and the winds and waves on the other side of Malacca are still roaring.
The Ming Dynasty is determined to destroy the Great Wall, how can you support the praying mantis in vain?
Chen Mu didn't know what his expression was when he watched Qi Jiguang drink the blood wine on the stage, but after the big drama ended, Long Junxiong quietly handed him the notebook and whispered: "Does the general have something to record?" ”
Chen Mu hooked his stiff face and said with a smile: "Why do you ask that?" ”
"General just now—" Long Junxiong glanced left and right, and said, "It's cold." ”
Chen Mu smiled indifferently, pushed back the note, and laughed as he walked to the banquet in the hall, he knew why his expression was cold, because he found the same kind.
In this world, he has several of his kind, they have a clear goal and a lofty ideal, and can give up a lot for this ideal, so that they seem to be unscrupulous, believe in elitism, talk about the suffering of the people, the suffering of the people, and do the sharing of weal and woe with others, but in the bottom of their hearts, what they pursue is the law of the jungle, even if they have compassion for the weak, the starting point is only the superiority of the superior.
If they go in the wrong direction, they will be the most destructive group in the world.
Fortunately, whether it is Zhang Juzheng or Qi Jiguang, their direction is beneficial to the future life of most people in the world.
And Chen Mu also firmly believes that his future direction is beneficial to most people.
"I want to learn the mind and conscience."
On the way to Changping with his arrogant soldiers who stayed in the Beijing camp to defend to the death, Chen Mu suddenly said this to Deng Zilong, because he knew that Deng Zilong's teacher Luo Hongxian was a scholar of Jiangyou Wangmen.
"Borrow me some of your husband's books."
After Qi Jiguang made a bloody alliance with the army loyal to him, Chen Mu came to this world to adapt to the life outlook that was crushed and pinched in order to survive, and reshaped back into his mind.
made him suddenly no longer so disgusted with staying away from his own territory and throwing him to the north to train his troops.
"General, there is also a military report." The soldiers and horses have been pulled out of the Beijing camp, what other military affairs can there be, and then Chen Mu saw that there were several prisoner carts swaggering behind the queue of the family Ding and the 500 Banner Army, "What is that?" ”
At the end of the official road, there seemed to be a few cavalry shadows following behind, obscene and trivial, neither daring to leave nor to catch up.
Deng Zilong hugged his fists and said: "It is they who want to talk about the lowly position, as the general expected, someone sneaked into the camp at night after not staying in the Beijing camp for a few days, and was captured by the flag army patrolling the night. ”
Chen Mu could feel that Deng Zilong was angry with these captives.
That is to say, Deng Junye didn't want to release people, but he was a guest army and didn't have the confidence to detain people, so he wanted to detain them for a few days and let them go, but suddenly heard that the commander had become a deputy commander-in-chief, and he had changed from a guest army to a sitting tiger, so he simply didn't let go.
The soldiers and horses moved forward, Chen Mu turned the horse's head, Deng Zilong also stopped on the side of the road, and waited for the prisoner car to come closer, Chen Mu looked at the unlucky Beijing camp soldier in the prisoner car and smiled, and said: "I am Chen Mu, Chen Mu, the deputy chief soldier of Jizhen Town, which battalion are you sergeants?" ”
Many times people can see at a glance whether they are prickly or not, these Beijing camp sergeants naturally don't need to say much, and honest people can't do such a thing as night diving camps, but obviously at this time they have been cleaned up by Deng Zilong, and even Chen Mu's first reaction to this question is to look at Deng Zilong beside him.
"Look at what I'm doing, the general doesn't reply to his questions, do you want to die?"
Chen Mu didn't have to be angry, Deng Zilong scared a few big-headed soldiers in the Beijing camp into a bamboo tube and poured out all the beans, one from the Shenji Battalion and two from the Shenshu Battalion, and then Deng Zilong clapped his hands and smiled: "It's to scare them, the lowly post has already been interrogated, these few things that don't know what to do." ”
The Shenshu Camp is the 3,000 battalions in the past, and when the three major battalions were re-established in the 29th year of Jiajing, it was renamed as the Shenshu Battalion, which is actually still the same as before.
Deng Zilong saw that Chen Mu looked at him angrily, and hurriedly arched his hand: "General, I think that when I go to the station, I can beat him half to death with forty military sticks, after all, it is not good to kill them directly, spare their lives." ”
"Is Chen such a murderous person?"
Chen Mu's expression was extremely surprised, his eyes widened and he turned to the prisoner car and asked Jingjun in the prisoner car, "Do you know that you are wrong?" ”
The three Beijing soldiers really couldn't move their necks, otherwise they would have to kowtow to General Chen a few times, and shouted in their mouths: "Guilty, guilty, just ask the chief soldier to spare our lives!" ”
"Look, this has been convicted, and the bitterness has been suffered, okay, let it go."
Deng Zilong pouted and looked at General Chen throughout the whole process, the chief was too abnormal today, as soon as he came over, he asked himself to borrow a book, and he hadn't killed anyone yet, if he usually met someone who wanted to harm him, I was afraid that he would have to set up a few long poles under the gate to string them together to end the matter.
He knows too well that Chen Ye is unreasonable and unreasonable to deceive to the end, and now there is a prime minister in the Beijing camp, but it is not those officers who have the final say, and it is not an exaggeration to kill them directly if they try to destroy the camp at night, it is too strange to let people go so easily.
General Deng was a little worried that his commander was stimulated by something.
On the way back to the Changping Prefecture station, Deng Zilong cautiously asked, "General, why do you suddenly want to borrow books, but what happened?" ”
"Two things." Chen Mu paced forward and raised two fingers, "First, I have been busy killing people and setting fires in the past few years, so you have to borrow me a few books to cultivate your mind." ”
Look, look, let's see, I still say that I don't kill much, but I don't tell the truth, what have you done in the past few years besides killing people and setting fires?
"The second is a good thing, tomorrow the military department will send people to Changping, you and Hu Daxiong are waiting to hear the seal, no accident is the general and guerrillas. When the Jinyi Guard recruits soldiers, you take the drill, and we will stay in Juyong Pass for a long time until the three guards are trained. ”
