False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 14

"Father, the big thing is not good. A group of strong men came from the back mountain and surrounded the eldest sister. You should send troops there quickly. It's too late, and I'm afraid you won't even be able to see the last side of the elder sister." Xing Yuanyuan yelled.

"What? Who dares to touch my Xing Shanhai's daughter? Come on! Follow me to save her!" Xing Shanhai is impatient. Hearing that his daughter was being bullied on his territory, how can he pay it back.Immediately, he took more than a hundred soldiers to hang out of the gate of the camp.Under the leadership of Xing Yuanyuan and Xing Xiuniang, they went straight to the back mountain.

Although Xing Shanhai has a fiery temperament, his ability to train soldiers is also first-class in the Ming army.Bringing his servants again, all of them are fierce soldiers.This reaction speed is very fast, from Xing Yuanyuan and Xing Xiuniang rushing to the barracks to move troops, to Xing Shanhai leading people out of the barracks, in less than a stick of incense, they were already neatly dressed and fully armed.

In addition, there are various organizations of thousands of households preparing for backup. If a big war comes, it will be tense and orderly.

However, the Tianjingshan guardhouse lacked war horses, and only had a team of war horses that were not accepted at night.So Xing Shanhai took the flag and ran away at the front, while the servants of the flag chased after him.

"Don't hurt my daughter! Tianjingshan Guard Commander Xing Shanhai is here!" Xing Shanhai was afraid that those strong men would harm his daughter, and ran all the way and shouted loudly.

When he got closer, he found that his eldest daughter was confronting another person, but she was still unscathed.But that person along the way is obviously not easy to mess with.Is Jin Yiwei easy to provoke?Jin Yiwei has always had a notorious reputation, and everyone in Ming Dynasty would change face when they talked about Jin Yiwei.Everyone avoided it, never thought that I would be able to confront Jin Yiwei while hiding at home.

"My lords, what's the reason for embarrassing my daughter in Xing's house?" Even though he was facing Jin Yiwei, Xing Shanhai's voice was still very loud.

"Hehe. General Xing, I was passing by from now on, and I ran into ladies hunting here, and there was a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, the three ladies were disturbed. All the generals are guarding our house, and they are actually our house. Our family hereby apologizes to the three ladies." Cao Qing came out and said.

Tian Shixian and the lieutenants of the Jinyiwei school were a little confused about Cao Qing's intentions, they only thought that the little eunuch took a fancy to the three sisters of the Xing family.There are too many eunuchs in the palace, and there are also some who raise wives and concubines outside.

It's not that Xing Shanhai has never seen anything in the world. He has seen the eunuch's appearance before.

"What's the name of this father-in-law, and what business is there in Tianjing Mountain?" Xing Shanhai didn't dare to be reckless.

"I am Cao Qing, the eunuch of the Military Bureau. There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, ordering me to come here to find a new workshop for the military bureau. I did not expect to meet the three young ladies. The three young ladies are their fathers." The wind really makes us ashamed." Cao Qing said.

"Oh. So that's the case. Since Eunuch Cao came here, he must be very tired. Why don't you go to the manor to rest? How about I prepare some wine and vegetables for everyone to rest?" Xing Shanhai said.

Xing Xiuniang sneaked up to Xinghongniang's side, and said in a low voice, "Sister, it's a pity that that white and clean boy turned out to be an eunuch."

"Damn girl, don't talk nonsense. It's too rude to be heard by others." Xing Hongniang said.

"You three lawless girls, why don't you go home quickly? You're crazy all day long, walking around everywhere, and you don't know any manners." Xing Shanhai obviously heard Xing Xiuniang's words, and hurriedly shouted his daughter away.The eunuchs are moody and eccentric for people outside.People who tell tales at every turn.If they are offended and casually say a few bad words around the emperor, the emperor will lose his life forever.

"I'm really ashamed. The lowly position is rude and not good at education, which makes my daughters ignorant of etiquette. Please don't take offense, my lord." Xing Shanhai said.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the three ladies are all people with true temperament. They also practice martial arts and know how to fight, and they will definitely be heroines in the future. The Mulan of the world." Cao Qing said.

"Ashamed, ashamed." Xing Shanhai didn't feel that what Cao Qing said was good, but seemed to be sarcastic.If women don't learn how to be courteous from female celebrities, what's the matter if they play martial arts and know how to fight?

Now the guard system has long existed in name only, and has already become a recruitment system.For guard commanders like Xing Shanhai, there are two main ways to get money, one is to drink soldiers' blood, withhold military pay and eat empty pay, which is common in the Ming army.Tianjing Mountain is no exception here.Nominally, there are 5600 soldiers in the ranks, but in fact, the total number is at most 1000 soldiers, and many of them are old and weak with no combat effectiveness at all.Those who can fight can pull out 100 people, which is not bad.The ones who are really reliable are the more than [-] members of Xing Shanhai.Another way is to merge land.The military officers in the late Ming Dynasty were actually big landlords, who annexed the land of their military households and turned them into their own private fields. They didn't even need to pay taxes, and they rented the fields to the soldiers below, and they lived on the rent every year.

Xing Shanhai's family has a lot of land, so the family background is also very good.He slaughtered chickens and ducks and made some dishes.There were no refrigerators in this era, so dishes were extremely limited.

Several huge plates were filled with some dishes and a plate of bacon, which was the best dish that Xing Shanhai could produce.

Xing Shanhai also asked people to bring some drinks, but Cao Qing and the others politely refused on the grounds that they were on official business.

After serving the table, Cao Qing and the others were not polite, they grabbed the steamed buns and ate them with bacon.

Cao Qing held a slightly dark steamed bun in one hand, and a chicken leg in the other, and swallowed gulply, sighing in his heart: "This is the real green food!" Although the steamed bun was a little rough, it tasted quite For sweet.

"General Tian, ​​I want to ask, do you know where the stone dam near the Yongding River is?" Cao Qing asked.

"I know. But that stone dam has been abandoned for a long time, I don't know why Eunuch Cao asked that stone dam?" Tian Shixian asked.

"I want to build a water mill on that stone dam. Who owns the nearby fields now?" Cao Qing asked.

"The stone dam is deserted, and the fields below cannot be irrigated, and the floods are difficult to prevent every year, so slowly, the field has become a wasteland. It seems to be a land without an owner. But if you need it, you can directly recruit it. Yes." Tian Shixian said.

Cao Qing smiled, it is easy to do things for the royal family, and there is no compensation for demolition in this era.The shore of the land, could it be the land of the emperor.Everyone in the world has the surname Zhao. If the royal family wants to be recruited, do they still need to be compensated?Cao Qing's concept is still influenced by before time travel.

"It's just that if Eunuch Cao wants to build a workshop here, he has to think carefully. There are floods here every year." Tian Shixian said.

"It's okay, it's okay. I must have a proper strategy." Cao Qing said.
