Chapter 160 Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun

Wang Qinian held the wine glass and was drunk and said in a nagging manner: "Don't believe it. When I was young, I went to Korea and fought with the Japanese pirates. I also killed three Japanese pirates with my own hands. These hundred households were promoted at that time. Unfortunately, the villain was successful, and the upper class of the Jinyiwei was all garbage, and they only knew how to brag about horses and fight for power and profit. I was discouraged, so I simply applied to the prairie without seeing it."

Yu Lijun shook his head and smiled and scolded, "If you have been to North Korea, I have been to Nanyang, bragging and not making drafts. Do you know what kind of person the Baihu of the Jinyiwei is? If you stomp your feet, our Ningxia Town will have to shake! Xu Baihu is also a Baihu. Compared with the Jinyiwei, it is not of the same level as the Baihu."

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Yes, I, the avant-garde household in Ningxia, and the hundreds of households of the Jinyiwei are all the same as the ones. You can just stretch out your finger and you can kill me. Lao Wang, let me ask you, where are you when the Bitiguan fights? Could it be next to Lord Ma Gui? Or is it next to Lord Li Rusong? Are you Jinyiwei going to the front line or in the rear?"

Wang Qinian said casually: "None are there! Before the Bitumen Hall started fighting, I stared at Kuroda Nagamasa. The deceased man retreated all the way from Shirakawa and retreated to Wang Jing before he gained a foothold. However, when I was in the city, I encountered the little Japanese. I killed the three of them and was also stabbed by my brothers. As a result, the fight started and I was watching the fun behind him. Oh, I missed it."

Speaking of this, Wang Qinian sighed clearly, looking very depressed. It seemed that he had not caught up with the battle of Bitiguan. He felt very sorry for himself. It was hard to imagine that such a bad old man dared to kill three Japanese pirates with a knife back then. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like it. The Japanese pirates were almost the same as killing three such bad old men.

Yu Lijun next to him still shook his head and sneered, thinking that Wang Qinian was making up the story. Only Xu Xingxia was secretly concerned. Wang Qinian could know Kuroda Nagamasa and the rough incident of the battle in Bitumen Pavilion, which was obviously not a joke. There was no Internet at that time, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know what happened in North Korea.

Xu Xingxia said intentionally or unintentionally: "What happened later? When did you come back from North Korea? After you come back, you went to the prairie? What did you do in the prairie?"

While drinking, Wang Qinian said vaguely: "I came back in the 23rd year of Wanli. It was not long after Shen Weijing went to North Korea. The superior said that both sides were not ready to fight, and there was no need to leave so many Jinyiwei in North Korea, so he withdrew. After I came back, I stayed in the capital for two years and felt it was boring, so I applied to go to Guihua City..."

Suddenly, there were dense footsteps, and Wang Qinian didn't continue to say anything, and kept drinking. Xu Xingxia looked back with a little regret and found that it was Chen Shouwang, Lin Dacheng, Zhang Feng, Wang Xia and others who were here. With outsiders present, Wang Qinian didn't say anything. However, Xu Xingxia was basically sure that Wang Qinian was indeed the Jinyiwei, and he was also a hundred households of Jinyiwei. However, he was already discouraged and had no fighting spirit.

From Wang Qinian's words, you can get a lot of information. The Jinyiwei is not just a person who just eats a lot, and will appear directly on the front line when necessary. The information about the Anti-Japanese and Aid Korea is mainly collected by the Jinyiwei. Wang Qinian later went to Guihua City (that is, Hohhot), which shows that the Jinyiwei is in the grassland and has an intelligence network. So, are there any Jinyiwei appearing in other places? The answer is yes.

"The direct guards, patrol and arrest" is a very simple nine words that include the functions of the Jinyiwei. The first five words actually have no meaning. To put it bluntly, the so-called direct guards stand guard like wood, and the so-called Han generals are them. They have no other power except to protect the palace. When most people mention the Jinyiwei, they will not even take the initiative to include them.

All the power of the Jinyiwei is in the following four words: "Pensuer and arrest". The simple four words give the Jinyiwei almost unlimited power. These four words can be explained no matter how you explain them, the key is to see who will explain them. Basically, everything that endangers national security has the power to control. These things are external and internal. It seems that the Korean War is external. However, most of the time, the Jinyiwei is used to deal with its own people, and the external aspects are ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, the establishment of the Jinyiwei absolutely has a positive side. The Jinyiwei is the consortium of the Ming Empire's Ministry of National Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, and other groups. It has made unremitting efforts in protecting national security and maintaining social stability. The tasks shouldered by the Jinyiwei can almost be said to be all-encompassing and omnipresent. Even in the most remote and remote corners of the Ming Empire, there are Jinyiwei.

They may be just non-staff members of the Jinyiwei, or the lowest-level lieutenant, strongman, etc. Their real identities may never be visible, but they silently provide detailed information to the court every day. In the surrounding areas of the Ming Empire, whether in friendly or hostile areas, there are also Jinyiwei. Their purpose is to collect intelligence for the court. The risks hidden in them can be imagined. If someone discovers his true identity, it will probably disappear secretly soon.

Unfortunately, the positive role of the Jinyiwei is really not outstanding enough. On the contrary, its negative effect is becoming more and more powerful, more and more eye-catching, and more unbearable. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who founded it himself, had to order it to be destroyed at one time. This is a typical double-edged sword. It is very powerful when dealing with the enemy and can often be fatal. However, it is also very powerful when hurting oneself. The most critical reason here is who is in the hands of this sword.

In whose hands will the Jinyiwei be in? This is indeed a very interesting question. In theory, the Jinyiwei should of course be in the hands of the emperor. The emperor's personal army is not in the hands of the emperor, but in whose hands? Which normal emperor dares to hand over such a huge killing weapon to other people? However, history has proved that there were quite a few periods where the Jinyiwei was not in the hands of the emperor. For example, during the Liu Jin period, and during the Wei Zhongxian period, the Jinyiwei almost became the murderous interests of these eunuchs.

The factory guards, factory guards, and Dongchang Jinyiwei are two inseparable systems. It is undeniable that the power of the Dongchang is greater than that of the Jinyiwei. However, without the Jinyiwei, the Dongchang itself could not do anything big. Until the Ming Dynasty fell, the Dongchang did not have many official personnel. Most of the time, the Dongchang had to rely on the Jinyiwei to dispatch personnel to assist. Those arrogant eunuchs firmly controlled the Jinyiwei in their hands.

For example, in the future, Wei Zhongxian controlled the Jinyiwei through Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun. Tian Ergeng was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Xu Xianchun was the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei. Both of them were the backbone eunuchs. Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others also died in the Zhao Prison of the Jinyiwei. Without the full cooperation of the Jinyiwei, many of Wei Zhongxian's affairs would not have been able to do.

"Drink, drink."

After the group of people arrived, Yu Lijun invited everyone to drink.

Chen Shouwang and Lin Dacheng did not drink enough, but Wang Xia and Zhang Feng had a very good alcohol tolerance. They both used big sea bowls to drink. Wang Qinian was already drunk at this time and fell asleep on the table. Everyone ignored him and let him sleep on the table. Not long afterwards, Gao Meng, Liu Chuang, Liu Heng, Chi Hu, Mao Shisan, Zhang Quanfu and others came one after another, and Xu Xingxia was even more lively.

Usually, everyone stays in the military camp, and they train every day, and are exhausted. After the training, they go back one by one and fall asleep. Where can I do other things? Today, it is rare to have the opportunity, so everyone sits together and tastes wine happily, and they all look particularly happy. Especially Gao Meng, Chi Hu and others, who walked away hard today and felt very satisfied.

Thanks to the natural geographical conditions of the Ningxia Plain, Ningxia Town has always had sufficient grain production, and there are many workshops for brewing wine. The price of liquor produced is not high, and ordinary banquets can be affordable. In Ningxia Town, the price of a pound of liquor is cheaper than that of beef. If the Little Ice Age arrives in a few years, the climate is cold and dry, and the grain production in the mainland has been reduced in large quantities, the grain that can be used to make wine will be greatly reduced, and the price of liquor will be increased.

Chi Hu suddenly sniffed his nose and said curiously: "It smells so good! What does it smell?"

The newly promoted Xiaoqi Xia Kewu walked around and said, "It seems that it was coming from the kitchen. What good things have been made in the kitchen? Could it be venison?"

Wang Xia shook his head and said, "You're so beautiful! You're still venison! The price of a deer is hundreds of taels of silver, enough to hold a few banquets! If you want to eat venison, you'll be in the next life!"

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "It's not venison, but big pots. In order to hurry, they mixed all the dishes together and prepared to make big pots! It should be the fragrance of big pots. Well, it's good, it smells quite fragrant."

"Big potted vegetables? What?" Several officers immediately became interested. They ran to the kitchen to have a sneak peek. When they came back, they were amazed and thought the big potted vegetables were really special. As a result, these big potted vegetables attracted a lot of attention. Soon, many guests knew that tonight's banquet was a bit special. All the dishes were filled with a large wooden basin, and the name was Big Pot.

Because of his disability on his legs, and Zhang Qiuqing was somewhat concerned about Xu Xingxia, he did not force Zhang Qiuqing to attend when the meeting was held at the gravel drying ground, so Xu Fuqing was able to stay at home. When he heard the name of the big pot of vegetables, he felt it was quite fresh and couldn't help but look at it with a crutch. After seeing it, he felt that it was indeed a bit novel. He heard that it was the eldest son's idea, so Xu Fuqing came to chat with Xu Xingxia. As a result, he happened to see Xu Xingxia and Zhu Yidan were together, and the two seemed to be very close.

Zhu Yidan is about to become the king of children. After all, she is a child from the Prince Qing Mansion. She has a wide range of knowledge, is not afraid of trouble, and has many tricks to make trouble. She gradually becomes the head of a large group of children. The children in Weizhenbao all followed her consciously, and the eldest sister kept shouting. The little princess' vanity was greatly satisfied and she was in a better mood. However, after playing for a while, she really felt hungry. The other children were also hungry. As their elder sister, the little princess came to Xu Xingxia and asked when there would be food to eat.

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Soon, soon, I'll be fine if I wait a moment."

Judging from the reaction of the little princess, she was quite satisfied with the title of the King of Children. As a half-aged child, who would not want to follow a large group of younger brothers behind her? When she was in the Qing Palace, there was no such treatment. When the adults flattered her, how could the children feel comfortable with respect from the heart? Besides, it was not interesting to play with a group of adults. After Zhu Yidan asked, she didn't care too much and took a large group of children to play.

Xu Fuqing knew nothing about Zhu Yidan's identity, so he asked curiously: "Xia'er, whose family is this child? Why haven't you seen it before?"

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Friends from Ningxia City."

Xu Fuqing asked curiously: "Do you have friends in Ningxia City?"

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Yes, I just met Dad, you can go your own way!"

Xu Fuqing didn't ask again, "I'm busy with my own affairs." How could he connect Zhu Yidan and the little princess of the Prince Qing's Mansion? However, he is a decades old man after all, and always thinks that this girl is different from other girls. Xu Xingxia's friend doesn't know what it is, hope it is a good thing!

With Xu Xingxia's suggestion, the speed of serving dishes in the kitchen was greatly accelerated. As the aroma of the food in the air became more and more intense, the large wooden basins and tiles were filled with various dishes. Chen Denglong immediately announced that the banquet could be started. The guests who received the news all took the banquet one after another. Soon, the large wooden basins and tiles filled with various dishes were brought up in order by the strong military remnants.

Sure enough, the fresh and spicy big pot was warmly welcomed by the guests. What they saw first was not the color of the big pot or the taste of the big pot, but the portion of the big pot. Such a large wooden basin was full, enough for ten people to eat at a table to die of dying. At that time, most people were most concerned about attending banquets and other banquets, and the taste quality was second. When the big pot came up, everyone was relieved. Today, they could definitely eat full and even die of dying.

Xu Xingxia and the officers of the White Army were also ready to enter the seat. Xu Xingxia was about to sit down when she saw Zhang Qiuqing shining in the crowd and was in a dilemma. She walked over quietly and said with a smile: "Deputy Zhang Qianhu, the little princess said, you did a good job this time."

Zhang Qiuqing forced a smile, not knowing what to say. He knew that Xu Xingxia was ridiculing him, but he didn't dare to respond, and he had to smile with him. This was the little princess' praise. Even if he felt bleeding in his heart, he could only bear it with a smile, otherwise he would be disrespectful to the prince. Behind the smile, he had to die. After being tossed by Xu Xingxia just now, he disappeared for more than 600 taels of silver. It was so fatal!

Some people are so cheap. If Xu Xingxia beat him hard, he might have forgotten it in a blink of an eye. However, asking him to take out more than 600 taels of silver from his arms would be even more uncomfortable than beating him hard. Zhang Qiuqing will never forget such a lesson in his life. I guess after he goes back, Zhang Qiuqing will definitely be bedridden.

"Part 1, please sit down?" Xu Xingxia smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"No, no." Zhang Qiuqing hurriedly refused. How dare he stay here? What if the little princess makes any excessive demands and Xu Xingxia's inspiration, he would have to stay here for only a hundred pounds. The little princess may not have any malice, but isn't there a poisonous wolf around him? Now Zhang Qiuqing completely understands that when he and Xu Xingxia are against him, he is purely seeking death, and he must be the one who suffers the loss in the end.

"You are the owner of Weizhen Fort..." Xu Xingxia said hypocritically.

"No, no, that, that... I'll say goodbye, say goodbye." Zhang Qiuqing now just wanted to get out quickly and leave the terrible place of Weizhen Fort. He had secretly swore that he would never appear in Weizhen Fort again from now on. This place is really terrible. Everyone here is his enemy.

"Then... the deputy Qianhu family is good to go on the road!" Xu Xingxia said understandingly, not doing anything for himself. He also sent Zhang Qiuqing to the door of the Xu family with great care. If someone who didn't know the details saw it, he would definitely think that the relationship between the two was pretty good.

"Okay, okay, please go back, please go back." Zhang Qiuqing hurriedly refused.

After a false suggestion, Zhang Qiuqing left Weizhen Fort in a mess. After coming to the wilderness outside, Zhang Qiuqing breathed a sigh of relief. He vowed that he would never appear in Weizhen Fort again. If he still appeared, it would be better than pigs and dogs! It would be a good death when he hit the sky and thunder!

Who knew that just after making the oath, a cavalry rushed over in front and said to him: "Deputy Qianhu, Lord Qianhu has an order. Please wait at Weizhen Fort, and he will arrive later!"
