Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 638 She is an elder and deserves this gift

Shi Jie Xuan Weisi, back to Longshan.

A group of people walked on the mountain path, and everything was silent, except for the creaking sound of footsteps stepping on the thick snow.

The vast expanse of whiteness is so clean.

"My lord, the hill in front is my aunt's grave." Qin Yiming pointed with red eyes.

Liu Hongjian was dressed in brocade padded clothes and a black cape. He looked up at the hazy sun and said nothing.

After another quarter of an hour, the group of people finally arrived at the cemetery. The area around the cemetery was cleaned up. Qin Liangyu's grandson Ma Wannian knelt in front of the tombstone and burned paper money.

"Wen Mian..." Qin Yiming softly called Ma Wannian's baby name.

Ma Wannian turned his head blankly and looked behind him.

"Big Brother! Third Brother, Fourth Brother!" Ma Wannian slowly got up and shouted in a hoarse voice as if he had been electrocuted.

The three cousins ​​were all out in the army, and the death of grandma felt like the sky had fallen to Ma Wannian, who was only 19 years old.

The four brothers came forward and just hugged each other and burst into tears. Shaoqing Qin Yiming, Qin Zuoming, and Qin Gongming walked slowly to Qin Liangyu's tomb, and knelt down one after another with a plop.

"The unfilial son Yiming/Zuoming/Gongming has come to visit your old man!"

The man did not shed tears when he had tears, but they didn't reach the point of sadness. The three strong men, even though they fought fiercely on the battlefield all day and night, they never shed tears, but now they are suffering like tears.

Their fathers passed away early, and the three brothers grew up in Ma's parents since they were young. Qin Liangyu gave them more nurturing and teaching grace.

"Brother, before grandma passed away, she said that you would be in charge of the Ma family before I got the honor.

Grandma also said that my four brothers and I were born in distress, so we should all work together to serve the court, so as to teach the Han family not to be bullied by the northern barbarians. After Ma Wannian finished speaking, he knelt down beside Qin Liangyu's tomb again.

The tombstone is cast in bluestone, with five big characters 'Qin Liangyu's Tomb' engraved on the front, and the inscription 'Ming Township Governor of Sichuan, Shu, Yunnan and Guizhou, and General of the Han and Native Soldiers Hanging Town East General Yintaibao Zhongzhenhou' is engraved on the side.

The lower part is engraved with the auspicious birthday of Jiashu in the second year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, died in Shuzi in the 19th year of Chongzhen, and his filial grandson Ma Wannian was established.

"Wen Mian, this is His Royal Highness Anguo County King, come and pay your respects." The three brothers were so sad that they forgot that there was still a prince standing in front of them. Qin Zuoming wiped away his tears and pulled Ma Wannian and said.

"Ma Wannian pays homage to the prince!" Ma Wannian was about to kneel down to salute Liu Hongjian, but Liu Hongjian supported him.

After experiencing the battle with the bandit Zhang Xianzhong last year, Ma Wannian came to his senses and decided to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, and now he has the identity of a martial artist.

"Brother Ma, please forgive me. Old General Qin passed away, and a pillar of Ming Dynasty was lost. I am so sad that I come here to offer my condolences." Liu Hongjian said warmly.

"Grandma once told Wen Mian when she was dying that she had gone through hard battles, fierce battles, and deadly battles in her life, no less than a hundred battles, and she had no regrets in being loyal to the country.

But the only thing that never forgets the kindness of you, the prince, is that if Wen Mianru is lucky enough to see the prince, he must kowtow three times for her in return. "

After Ma Wannian finished speaking, regardless of Liu Hongjian's obstruction, he fell to his knees and kowtowed three times. When he stood up, his forehead was already covered with snow and gravel.

Liu Hongjian helped Ma Wannian up without saying a word, and walked slowly to Qin Liangyu's tomb, as if he was about to kneel down.

"My lord, you are a prince, so you don't need to..." Qin Yiming reminded in a low voice.

"She is an elder, so she deserves it." After speaking, Liu Hongjian knelt down on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed three times to the tombstone.

The three brothers of the Qin family, Ma Wannian, also knelt down behind Liu Hongjian.

"Old General Qin, I'm here to see you!" Liu Hongjian grabbed a handful of paper money from a bamboo basket beside him and threw it into the brazier in front of the tombstone, saying.

"Your husband Ma Qiancheng quelled the Yang Yinglong rebellion, your elder brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Banghan died in the battle of Hunhe, your brother Qin Minping died in the She'an rebellion, your only son Ma Xianglin and daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi died in the battle of Xiangyang...

The heroes of the Ma family and the Qin family have never been forgotten by the imperial court. Your meritorious deeds will be recorded in the annals of history forever and be praised by all people.

When the king returns to Beijing, he will ask for the title of the old general, add Youzhu Kingdom, and write a biography for the old general by the historian.

You look down and watch, this king will do his best in this life to let you see the prosperity of Ming Dynasty and see that the people will no longer be enslaved by strong captives.

You have fought for Daming for [-] years and worked hard all your life, now you can finally rest in peace below, rest in peace! "

After speaking, Liu Hongjian kowtowed three more times.

"My lord, don't freeze your body due to the cold weather here, just get up and go back to the mansion." Qin Yiming got up and supported Liu Hongjian and said.

When he arrived at the Ma Mansion, Liu Hongjian still couldn't let go of the fact that the veterans of the Ming Dynasty had all died out one by one, and now only Huang Degong, who was guarding the nine borders, was left.

These veterans basically only know how to fight and are not good at political affairs. Most of them were suppressed, bullied, and even dismissed by court officials on trumped-up charges.

And what he can do is to provide armaments for the soldiers everywhere, and deal with the civil servants in the court for these soldiers.

He is not a hardworking person, and he also knows that he is lazy, but he has never shirked any responsibility on this point. The strength of a country is due to education, technology, and the army.

The army, in particular, will never allow anyone to get involved.

"My lord, the meal is ready, please have a meal!" Qin Yiming came to Liu Hongjian and said.

According to the ritual system, the descendants of the father's generation should observe filial piety for three years, and Qin Liangyu's son and daughter-in-law died in battle, so the responsibility for filial piety must fall on Ma Wannian.

Although the three Qin Yiming brothers are not from the Ma family, Qin Liangyu has been kind to them in nurturing them, and because all three of them have official positions, after discussion, the three decided to observe filial piety in Shijie for three months to fulfill their filial piety.

"I've been on the road for eight or nine days and I'm exhausted, you guys sit down and eat something too!" Liu Hongjian said to Qin Yiming and Niu Zhuang when he saw several dishes on the table.

Niu Zhuang made Ling sit down, while Qin Yiming cupped his hands and said that he had eaten just now, and waited quietly.

"How old is Yiming this year?" Liu Hongjian was not polite, and asked while eating.

"Back to the lord, the end of this year will be thirty-two." Qin Yiming replied with cupped hands without knowing the reason.

"You're younger, but it's okay. Your third and fourth younger brothers will stay in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the future. You will be the governor of the Southwest." Liu Hongjian thought for a moment.

Although Zhang Xianzhong has been laid down, Sichuan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou ethnic groups live together, and there are many disputes among the native officials of various tribes. In addition, Yunnan is adjacent to Myanmar, Siam, Annan and other countries, so we still cannot take it lightly.

"My lord, I'm still young and lacking in qualifications. I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task. Please, my lord..."

"My lord thinks that you are completely competent, so don't shirk it anymore." Liu Hongjian waved his hand to interrupt Qin Yiming's refusal.

The appointment of officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty is exactly the same as that of later generations. For example, if you want to enter the cabinet, you must be born as a nobleman and have studied in the Imperial Academy. Even if you have not been a minister, you must at least be a minister.

Basically, no 40-year-old can even think about joining the cabinet, and the same is true for the governor-general level.

But Liu Hongjian didn't care too much about this. Aspirations don't lie in his age. Didn't he supervise Ji Liao when he was only 20 years old?

It is precisely because there are so many tribes in Sichuan, Shu and Yungui that it is even more necessary for someone who understands the situation here to be in charge, and Qin Yiming should do his part.

Otherwise, if the imperial court sends a civil servant who can only talk about things on paper and talk about military affairs on paper, then the people in Sichuan and Shu will really suffer from bad luck for eight lifetimes.

When Liu Hongjian talked about this matter, Qin Yiming naturally no longer shirked it. It was also his ambition to take over the White Pole Corps, to be loyal to the court, and to fulfill his aunt's last wish.

As the New Year was approaching, Liu Hongjian originally planned to return to Beijing directly after mourning Old General Qin, but since he came down from Huilong Mountain, heavy snow fell, and it did not stop for a whole day and night.

Looking at the foggy and snowy sky outside the window, Liu Hongjian couldn't help frowning.

"My lord, some people from Jinyiwei came outside and said they came to look for you." Qin Yiming came in and said softly.

Under Liu Hongjian's instruction, a Jinyiwei dressed in the military uniform of a thousand households came in after a while, his shoulders were all white.

"Why are you?" Liu Hongjian was very surprised.

Jinyiwei is spread all over the country, Sichuan and Shu naturally also have strongholds, but the one who came to spread the news was Liang Kewang, nephew of Liang Yang who was in charge of the Jinyiwei yamen in the capital.

Liang Kewang shook the snow on his shoulders and bowed to Liu Hongjian, then looked at Niu Zhuang and Qin Yiming, Qin Yiming bowed his hands consciously and retreated, while Niu Zhuang still stood behind Liu Hongjian.

"Tell me, what happened in the capital?" Liu Hongjian said in a deep voice.

"Sir Commander, the Supreme Emperor...is critically ill!"
