In fact, Qin Dewei was not without worries. Although "finding the right person" could simplify things, this Qi Jiguang in front of him was too young.

Qi Jiguang, the famous general in history, also matured after experience. For example, he was scared by the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Guards before he thought of recruiting another soldier.

Later, it was discovered that ordinary mercenaries could not fight headwinds, and their military discipline was not good, so they went to recruit Yiwu miners for training.

The Qi Jiguang in front of me is only 16 years old, and his main motivation for his debut may be just to inherit the official position.

As for the recruitment of miners in Yiwu and the training of mandarin duck formations, it seems that the concepts taught by Qi Jiguang's father based on personal experience have not yet been practiced and verified.

And Qin Dewei always felt that Qi Jiguang's father probably wanted to "fool" himself with these concepts, just like entrepreneurs after 500 years use exquisite ppts to fool investors in order to get venture capital.

However, Qin Dewei finally made up his mind to give the young version of Qi Jiguang a chance to try, mainly because of two considerations. First, this is Qi Jiguang anyway, and his potential is no problem, so there is no need to open the blind box.As long as you give it a chance, you can always experience it, which is better than other stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

And from Daming's point of view, 16 years old can be seen as half an adult.

Second, Qin Dewei knew that he couldn't rely too much on the officers and soldiers of the guard, so he had to think of other ways.

Is it still possible to copy homework from history? One way is to transfer Guangxi wolf soldiers over, and the other way is to recruit Yiwu miners.

And Qi Jiguang has a relationship with Yiwu, and Yiwu also has the Qi family. This kind of folk relationship is still very important to the people of today.

This kind of relationship can be used to recruit soldiers in Yiwu, which is another important value of Qi Jiguang.

It may not be useful to use Qi Jiguang to fight wars, after all, he is too young, but it is definitely useful to use Qi Jiguang to recruit troops.

After considering everything, Qin Dewei made up his mind and said: "Ben Zhongtang recommends you to the imperial court, take charge of commanding first, and temporarily transfer to Zhejiang to serve! You follow me to the south!"

The atmosphere has reached such a point that even if Qi Jiguang doesn't want to agree, he can't do it. How can he casually refuse the "favor of knowing you" of a big man?
After saluting again, Qi Jiguang tactfully took the initiative to stand in the position of personal guard, showing both humility and closeness, probably taught by his old father.

Qin Dewei was about to put on airs of elders and asked Qi Jiguang "Have you taken the characters?" Zhang San, the long follower, stood at the door again.

Then the report said: "Master Li's nephew has come here somehow, and he is asking to see you outside!"

The young nephew of the Li family that Zhang San talked about was none other than Li Chengliang, the nephew of Mrs. Li, Qin Zhongtang's bodyguard and concubine who warmed the bed.

Logically speaking, even if she changed from Mrs. Li to Mrs. Li, she would not be the main house. Calling Li Chengliang nephew and master is a bit too flattering.

But the Li family still has a special meaning to Zuo Zhongtang, and it is an important starting point for Qin Zhongtang to manage Liaodong.

Another example is the [-] Liaodong Squad Army of the capital, which has always obeyed Qin Zhongtang's orders, and it is fine to kill and set fire. This is one of Qin Zhongtang's last cards for political affairs in the capital.

At the very least, it can be used by soldiers for private use, and dozens of people are often dispatched as guards to ensure that Qin Zhongtang will not be beaten when he swaggers through the city in the capital.

Therefore, it is human nature for Zhang San to have some respect for the Li family.

Qin Dewei was taken aback when he heard the words. Li Chengliang followed his father back to Liaodong two years ago, why did he suddenly appear in Dezhou now?
Then he ordered: "I still have business here, let him go see Aunt Li first!"

There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to hide her identity as Mrs. Li disguised as a man.Mrs. Li is Li Chengliang's biological aunt, so it's okay to go to see her relatives first.

But Zhang San said again: "Aunt Li said, she can't make the decision, let the master make up his mind."

So Qin Dewei asked Zhang San to bring Li Chengliang in. After two or three years, Li Chengliang, who had reached the age of sixteen, gradually took on a burly appearance.

Qin Dewei asked, "Why are you here?"

Li Chengliang replied: "Father asked me to follow the Liaodong Squad Army to practice in the capital and visit my uncle and aunt by the way.

After arriving in Beijing, I heard that my uncle had gone south, so I followed closely.Fortunately, my uncle was waiting for me in Texas

Three days, otherwise we won't be able to catch up.

Qin Dewei scolded: "You are just waiting in the capital, why are you chasing after me!"

Li Chengliang said arrogantly: "I heard that my uncle is going to send troops to fight against the Japanese pirates, and my nephew and I will also contribute to earn a share of the credit!
Qin Dewei is speechless, your professional direction, Li Chengliang, is not fighting Japanese pirates, why are you here to join in the fun?
Fighting Japanese pirates and beating captives are two different things, and the fighting methods are completely different.

Besides, what is the use of you, Li Chengliang, a 16 years old boy? To put it bluntly, don't you just want to take credit for it!

So Qin Dewei said disdainfully: "Earning credit is easy to say, what can you do?"

Li Chengliang said unconvinced: "Isn't it enough to charge into the battle and kill the enemy bravely?"

Qin Dewei sneered and said, "You are the only one who still charges forward? Why don't you send dozens of people to guard you?" To be honest, Qin Dewei really didn't dare to let Li Chengliang charge and kill.

Li Chengliang said angrily: "Anyway, my father said, let me take refuge in you!"

Qin Dewei was very surprised, "It's just that you are ignorant, brother Li can be as ignorant as you?"

Anyway, Qin Dewei doesn't quite believe it, how heartless is Aunt Li's brother, sending such a bastard to make trouble for him?
Li Chengliang angrily took out a letter and handed it to Qin Dewei: "Here is the letter written by my father!"

After Qin Dewei opened it and read it, the content of the letter said that Li Chengliang was a stubborn dog, and his father really couldn't control him, so he let him go to his brother-in-law Qin, and asked his brother-in-law Qin to teach him a lot.

So Qin Dewei suddenly realized that when the eldest brother of the Li family wrote the letter, he didn't know that he had gone south.

So I wrote a letter quite normally, making complaints about Li Chengliang being difficult to discipline, and asking myself to help teach Li Chengliang how to behave.

If Qin Zhongtang was still in the capital, this letter would be normal. It is very common to visit relatives and friends these days, and it is nothing to take in Li Chengliang.

But the problem was that Qin Dewei had already left the capital at this time, and Li Chengliang caught up with him after smelling it, which was very difficult.

What Qin Zhongtang wanted was useful people, so he really didn't want to bring this kind of oil bottle.

So he pointed to Qi Jiguang and said to Li Chengliang: "Recklessness alone is not enough to put down chaos, and your cultivation is not enough. For example, look at one of my soldiers who can write poetry!"

Li Chengliang muttered: "Could it be that poetry can kill the enemy?"

Then when Li Chengliang wanted to say something, Qin Dewei saw Zhang San wandering outside again, so he took Li Chengliang aside and asked, "Who's here again?"

Zhang San reported: "There is a Taicang royal family who can't tell what their seniority is, and they are asking to see you outside the door!"

Qin Dewei thought about it, probably Wang Shizhen's father, Wang Chan, came. After Wang Chan was awarded a Jinshi in the spring of this year, he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives.

This is a serious guest, so he ordered: "Please come in quickly!"

The reason why it is said that the seniority is not clear is because Wang Chan and his stepfather were in the same year of the provincial examination, but they were of the same generation as Qin Dewei. In the end, they became Jinshi later than Qin Dewei, and they became the younger generation.

Immediately, he saw Wang Chan and his son Wang Shizhen strolling in, bowed and said, "See the middle hall!"

Qin Dewei gave a little support, and then asked strangely: "Where is your father?"

Wang Shizhen asked even more strangely: "My father is not here, why did Zhongtang ask my father?"

Qin Dewei was speechless. How dare you come here alone? You are indeed a member of the royal family who can't tell what your seniority is.

Wang Shizhen explained: "The late student has reached the age of [-] and is considered an adult, so he was released to travel alone! As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!"

The big dog’s traveling alone probably brought a group of servants with him. Qin Dewei was not worried about Wang Shizhen’s safety, but subconsciously murmured, “Why is a 16-year-old man here again?”

Wang Shizhen continued to explain: "Wansheng was walking along the canal, and heard that the Zhongtang is stationed here. Afraid of missing it, he hurried to see him."

Qin Dewei said nonchalantly: "Is there anything I missed that I didn't miss? It's not that I haven't met before. When I go back, give your father a treat!" But Wang Shizhen said: "The Zhongtang will be a general and a prime minister, and Wansheng will be the heir to the Zhongtang mantle.

You must serve on the left and right, and assist Zhongtang in the cause of chaos! "Qin Dewei:"

What day is it today, let these 16 years old teenagers run over one by one, thinking about taking credit?
Why do everyone think that Qin Zhongtang will definitely win, and that following Qin Zhongtang will definitely get credit?
And I went south to fight against the Japanese pirates, not to bring the boy scouts to engage in mass violence!

What is the use of you, Wang Shizhen? Even writing "Jin Ping Mei" is useless.

This is just a young version of Wang Shizhen, and his experience is not enough to write the full version of "Jin Ping Mei".

Also, when did Ben Zhongtang admit that you, Wang Shizhen, are the successor?
Qin Dewei complained in his heart, and declined politely, "I don't need to trouble you for such a hard work!"

I don't know whether Wang Shizhen didn't hear the irony, or pretended to be stupid on purpose, and said with her head held high: "If you can be named in the merit list, it will be worth the hard work!

In the future, when I become a Jinshi again and officially become an official, if I fulfill my merits, I will be promoted once for nothing, and the Magic Point Pavilion will be higher than others!

I don't know what other people thought, but Wu Chengen, who was listening, felt that Wang Shizhen's thick skin just now really looked like Qin Zhongtang's successor.

Qin Zhongtang was helpless, do you really think that "don't dare to trouble me" means that you don't dare?
He asked directly: "I mean, what can you do?"

In fact, the subtext is that you can't do anything, and you are still lagging behind.

Wang Shizhen immediately responded: "The suppression of chaos in Zhongtang is not only about fighting the enemy, but also stabilizing the place, raising food, grass, salaries and other important tasks! Therefore, dealing with local nobles and gentry is indispensable. Moreover, the literary style in the southeast is at its peak, and both Zhejiang and Fujian have a strong reading atmosphere. As a new generation of child prodigies in the south of the Yangtze River, late students have a good reputation, and they still have a lot of advantages in socializing with scholars."

Just listening to this sentence, it is true, Daming does have a culture of worshiping child prodigies, and there are many highlights of child prodigies circulating all the time.Qin Dewei was noncommittal about this, only to hear Wang Shizhen say: "There is another important thing, Wansheng follows Zhongtang around, and he can witness Qin Zhongtang's martial arts and martial arts with his own eyes!"

Therefore, late students can record Zhongtang's great achievements in detail and pass them on to future generations to watch!And late students can write poems for Zhongtang at any time as a souvenir!Like this one!"

Then Wang Shizhen took out a piece of paper and presented it. Qin Dewei usually couldn't resist other people's poems and flattery, so he took it subconsciously.

I saw the verse written on it: "The Jinwu team came out of the Tiange, and pointed to Zhejiang for supporting Wenxing. Just ask all the generals in the Ci circle, who in Jiangdong is not afraid of Qin Lang."

That's it? Qin Zhongtang sighed in disappointment, what's the use of bringing a "child prodigy" like you? This poem doesn't matter what you want, it's absolutely impossible to spread it, so what's the use of you?
Even if you, Wang Shizhen, have evolved and matured, your greatest achievement will be the leader of the literary world, which has nothing to do with killing the enemy.

So Qin Zhongtang said earnestly: "Fierce soldiers and dangerous battles are no joke. What I need are warriors who can go to battle to kill the enemy. Literary talents are not very useful.

Besides, when you are young, it is better to concentrate on your studies and imperial examinations, and don't be distracted by other things! "

Wang Shizhen didn't say anything, but Li Chengliang, who had been holding back all this time, yelled: "Uncle, you told me just now that only recklessness is useless, and you need to cultivate your skills.

You also said that the soldiers under your tent can write poems and essays, but now you say that literary talent is useless, so what is the use?"

Qin Zhongtang felt a little embarrassed immediately, and gave Li Chengliang a hard look.When I was dealing with Wang Shizhen just now, I forgot that Li Chengliang hadn't left yet.

Wang Shizhen said sadly: "It turns out that no matter how well the late students do it, no matter how hard they work, it is useless."

"After all, Qin Zhongtang never regarded Wansheng as his successor. If there is no intention of cultivation, Wansheng will be farewell."

Qin Dewei said helplessly: "Nephew Wang, I have worked so hard for your own good, and I can't bear to hurt you."

Wang Shizhen shook her head, tired and unable to love anymore.

Qin Dewei pointed to another manuscript next to it: "If you don't believe me, take a look at this poem. It was written by a relative named Qi just now. You can learn from each other."

Wang Shizhen took a deep breath, and boldly said: "Scholars can be killed but not humiliated, why should Zhongtang humiliate late students!"

you Qin Zhong

It's okay for Tang to look down on himself, and to humiliate himself with a small soldier, that's too much!
This is an insult to the new generation of child prodigies in Jiangnan!

"Let's take a look, he's 16 years old like you." Qin Dewei said kindly: "If you don't read it, you don't even think about walking out of this door."

There was still a poem presented by Qi Jiguang on the table beside Qin Dewei, Wang Shizhen stepped forward to pick it up when he heard the words, and fell silent after reading it.

Even if this Qi's work is not the best, it is better than his own.

And this person is just a soldier? Wang Shizhen looked at Qi Jiguang, could this be the new successor?
"You are still far away, go home and continue to work hard, and strive for a soldier who will surpass me in five years!" Qin Zhongtang said to Wang Shizhen.

Qi Jiguang was speechless, just now he felt that the way Qin Zhongtang treated him was too scary, but now he realized that Qin Zhongtang treated him very well.
