A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 35

God of War Qin Qiong has been sick and weak for a long time, and now he is finally able to regain his glory, and he is in a good mood at the moment.

After drinking a bowl of soaked gardenia water, Qin Qiong felt refreshed, and insisted on asking someone to bring a golden mace and wave it around a few times.Maybe it was a psychological effect, Qin Qiong felt that he was capable of being a dragon and a tiger, and the family would bring him a pair of tile-faced gold maces.

Regardless of Huaiyu's persuasion, he danced in the hall.

"Shubao is alive again." Cheng Yaojin watched the old brother wield his mace and slapped his legs excitedly. At this time, Qin Qiong looked like two people just now.

Huaiyu knew that the bowl of raw gardenia water was not so magical, Qin Qiong let go of the psychological burden.

"Duke Yi's pair of maces are really good at dancing."

Old Cheng squeezed his chin, "Boy, you've opened your eyes today, take a good look, Shubao's pair of maces was used to beat the six prefectures of Shandong, and the horse stepped on both sides of the Yellow River..."

Cheng Yaojin admired Huaiyu, a young man, and Huaiyu could also cure Shubao's illnesses and heart ailments, so he patiently introduced Qin Shubao's mace and mace techniques to him.

"Shubao's pair of maces are three feet and three feet long each. They are four-edged and concave, so they are also called four-edged tile-faced maces. They are made of fine copper with a gold gilt surface. A pair of maces weighs fifteen catties. Don't look at them. It's not long, but how many enemy generals with armored cavalry fell under this pair of maces,

If you look at Shubao's mace again, does it seem to be quite chaotic, like chopping firewood randomly?That's right, a mace has no sharp edge, and it relies on powerful blows to kill the enemy, especially suitable for hitting enemy generals in heavy armor.Shu Bao's pair of maces are heavier than most generals' maces because of Shu Bao's physical strength. "

Over there, Qin Shubao was out of breath after finishing his mace dance.

"Happy, happy!"

"Duke Yi, let's take a good rest first, don't be in a hurry."

Qin Qiong said to Huaiyu: "Don't listen to the nonsense about biting gold. Although the mace is a blunt weapon, it actually has its own rules. The main tricks with the mace are horizontal and vertical. The trick is to be fierce and fast, as the saying goes, the rain hits the white sand, and the mace disrupts the chopping of firewood. You need strength, but you also need to pay attention to the moves, and the most important thing is actual combat experience."

Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was a peak period of armor development. Heavy cavalry with armored cavalry were popular, and armor such as Mingguang armor was extremely strong. Cavalry enemy generals and generals also generally use blunt weapons such as maces, whips, hammers, and bones as secondary weapons.

There are eight types of maces, four-edged, eight-edged, bamboo joints, spikes, etc. Qin Shubao's is a four-edged copper mace with a concave tile surface. It will become extremely lethal, even Mingguang armor can block the damage, especially in the hands of a fierce general like Qin Qiong, it is really a mace.

"I'm old, I just danced a set of moves, and I can't breathe." Qin Shubao saw that Huaiyu was very interested in maces, so he called his generals, "Take my loyal, fierce and brave."

The family will fetch a sandalwood long box.

"Huaiyu, this is a four-edged mace, I give it to you."

The box was opened, and inside was a mace wrapped in yellow silk.

This mace was a single mace, longer than Qin Qiong's. Huaiyu took it with both hands and felt very heavy. Qin Qiong said that this mace weighed six catties (Tang's one catty was nearly six hundred grams).

The mace is nearly one meter long. The body of the mace is four-sided and concave on all sides. Its shape is very similar to Qin Qiong's double mace. It is also made of fine copper, but there is no gold plating.

The mace guard is in the shape of a four-petal flower. The head of the handle is shaped like a melon hammer, the handle is made of rosewood, and the end has a hole for a rope. When in use, it can be put on the wrist to prevent the mace from falling out of the hand.This mace is also equipped with a cylindrical mahogany sheath with a pattern of silver threads on the sheath. There are two copper buttons on the sheath for hanging ropes, which can be hung on the waist like a sword.

The mace, which is one meter long and weighs nearly four kilograms, is heavier than the European two-handed sword Huaiyu used to play with. The ordinary long sword is only three to four kilograms or even lighter, and the German two-handed sword is only three to four kilograms. If the mace is not strong, you really can't wield it freely. At most, you can hold it to practice your strength. It won't be long before you go to the battlefield with your own tired wrist and you can't lift it up. However, it is easier to use than a hammer.

The copper mace gradually narrows from the gauntlet to the top, and one side of it is engraved with a line of characters, loyal and brave, as a gift to my son Huaiyu, made by Qin Qiong in the 12th year of the great cause, embedded with gold seal characters.

This was built by Qin Qiong for his son Qin Huaiyu when he was still fighting for the Sui Dynasty. After his death, his son kept it as a treasure, and now it is given to Wu Huaiyu.

"My son failed to use this mace, and now I will pass it on to you."

Huaiyu was afraid to accept it, but Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin asked him to accept it. Qin Shubao even pointed out how to use the mace on the spot. Double mace has the trick of double mace, and single mace has the technique of single mace, but the core is strength.

Although Huaiyu has the strength of both arms, he has practiced Vajra Kung Fu outside and longevity Kung Fu inside, and he has even touched the door of Qi training and inner strength. He has also practiced the stick technique for five years, but this mace is really heavy, and it can be used with one hand. It's a bit difficult, but fortunately, it's a long mace that can be used with both hands. It's also possible to use it as a two-handed sword, but the moves are different.

"You have good strength, but you still lack some skills. I will move to Sanyuan in the future. Come here and I will teach you." Qin Shubao praised Huaiyu as a good seed for martial arts, even talented.

Cheng Yaojin laughed beside him, "This hammer, steel whip, and copper mace, it doesn't have any tricks, it's just that it's strong, and you swing it around and smash it. Whoever has the most strength wins. It's nothing compared to Ma Qiang There are so many details about spears."

······
"Huaiyu, eat with me later, we two have a good chat."

Qin Shubao's heart knot was opened, but his spirit was greatly lifted. Although his body was still weak, his spirit was lifted and his body even felt much more relaxed.

At noon, I had a whole deer feast at the warrior's house, and at night I had a whole sheep feast at Qin Qiong's house.

Qin Qiong also called Xuxian's wife and his reborn son to accompany him. Qin Qiong voted for Tang, and his wife, concubine and children were murdered by Wang Shichong.

Li Yuan greatly admired Qin Qiong, a strong general, and personally acted as a matchmaker for him. His successor was the daughter of Li Tang's clan, Li Yuan's grandniece, the daughter of Henan King Li Zhi, and the sister of Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan.

The Li family is Li Hu's great-granddaughter. Her grandfather Li Hui died early. She was the governor of Xiazhou in the Sui Dynasty, and was crowned King Yong in the Tang Dynasty. Her father Li Zhi also died early, leaving behind sons Li Daoxuan and Li Daoming brothers.Li Daoxuan is Li Shimin's fanboy, and has been following Li Shimin to pacify the world. After Pingdou Jiande, he served as the governor of Luozhou, and Wu De served as the commander of the Hebei Road Army for five years. Wanbao, Li Yi, Wang Junkuo and other generals were defeated and killed.

His title was inherited by his younger brother Li Daoming, Duke of Wudu County.

Li Shi was also married before marrying Qin Qiong, but her husband died in battle, and she only had one daughter. Li Yuan gave her a marriage and remarried Qin Qiong as a continuation. Qin Shandao, there are two other concubines serving two daughters, and the wife and concubine who joined the Tang Dynasty gave birth to three sons and two daughters for Qin Qiong, and the daughter Zhao brought by Li Shi also made up for it a little.

Yan Dao is four years old, Shan Dao is three years old, Huai Dao is two years old, and the two daughters are three years old and the other over one year old.

Shandao's mother is the Zheng family of Xingyang, a concubine from a side branch, and the Zheng family of the five surnames and seven families deliberately wooed Qin Qiong, a military upstart. Daughters from side branches come to marry those upstarts. After all, there is no one in the court, and it is difficult to be famous even though they are high.

Qin Qiong gave birth to three sons before, but unfortunately they are all gone.

Mrs. Li is a good person, she respects Qin Qiong like a guest, even though she is remarried, she is still a daughter of the clan, but she has no pretensions. After the death of her younger brother Li Daoxuan, she was named the head of Gaotang County.It's just that in her natal family, her grandfather, father, and younger brother all died early, and now there is only one young brother, Li Daoming, who is the king of Huaiyang.

The concubine is Zheng's, concubine of five surnames, but the county head suppresses her, and she dare not mess around. In addition, the concubines, Pei's and Liu's, are also from big families.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong was definitely regarded as a very popular and favored upstart. Li Yuan’s rewards never stopped, and Li Shimin also relied on him as his confidant. Second, the field rewards will be even more.

Qin Qiong ranks far above Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and the others among the new elites of military exploits. Even if Yuchigong obtained Yuanji's property at the beginning of the month by killing Yuanji and saving the King of Qin and "entering the palace escort", it is not as good as Qin Qiong's previous experience. There are many rewards.

What's more, he also married the county master and took concubine daughters of the five surnames as concubines.

No matter how many people are envious, they will not be envious.

Qin Qiong asked his sons and daughters to call Huaiyu brother, Li and Zheng looked at Huaiyu a little more unexpectedly, but after hearing that Huaiyu could cure Qin Qiong's illness, they were much more polite to Huaiyu, after all Qin Qiong It is the pillar of the Qin family. If it falls now, these young children will lose their backing.

"I think Huaidao also suffers from anemia." Huaiyu checked Qin Huaidao's pulse and finally confirmed that he had anemia and malnutrition. "The problem is not serious. I will prescribe a prescription."

Huaiyu used an ancient recipe passed down by the old Taoist Nine Turns Pill.

"Using sealwort and angelica, processed according to the secret method, adding rice wine, steamed nine times and dried nine times to form Jiuzhuan Dan, Huangjing is the main ingredient, angelica is supplemented, and finally rehmannia root and white peony root are added to make syrup. This Jiuzhuan Dan is made with warm water. Delivery."

The Gaotang County Lord has always been worried about his second son not eating well. He is more than two years old and looks like a monkey. His face is yellow and hungry, and he doesn't want to eat anything.

"In the future, Liulang can also drink a glass of milk in the morning and evening, add a boiled egg, and have some five-grain porridge for dinner, and eat more seasonal vegetables. Now that the sun is strong in summer, you can play outdoors in the early morning and evening. Replenish your vitality by basking in the sun."

Cheng Yaojin asked with a smile, "The boys and girls born to my concubines are also picky eaters and don't like to eat, can they also use this Jiuzhuan Pill?"

"Okay, for the time being, take nine days as a course of treatment, and take nine days of syrup first. The main thing is to adjust the diet. Children are easy to accumulate food and hurt the spleen when they are young, so they have a combination of meat and vegetables. Don't be too full and try not to be too greasy. Adjust the spleen and stomach to have an appetite. to grow and thrive.”

The county lord was a little skeptical about Huaiyu's ability to cure Qin Qiong's disease before, but now that he can explain the symptoms of Huaidao's two-year-old child so clearly, he also admires him very much.

The Zheng family also asked Huaiyu to help him look at the body of his son Qin Shandao.

"Goro is in good health, but there are white marks on his face. Does he like to scratch his ass recently?"

"Wu Erlang is really a fortune teller." Zheng said in admiration.

"Goro has worms in his stomach. It's okay. I'll prescribe a ebony pill later. I'll eat less raw and cold meat in the future. Go to the pharmacy to grab ebony plums, asarum, dried ginger, coptis, angelica, aconite, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon sticks, ginseng, For the ten medicines of Phellodendron Phellodendri, the ten medicines are crushed according to the amount, and then combined together.

Soak ebony with vinegar for one night, remove the core, mash it with other medicines, grind it into powder, add honey, make pills, boil water and take.

This medicine can not only deworm, but also treat stomach heat and cold intestines. "

For Jiuzhuan Pill and Wumei Wan, Huai Yurang took the pen and ink, and immediately wrote down the medicinal materials needed, and asked the Qin family to buy them, and help them prepare them.

"You're amazing, boy, how many of these secret recipes do you have?" Cheng Yaojin patted him in amazement.

"The master's inheritance is all the painstaking efforts of the past dynasties, and I just use it."
