I am the carpenter king

Qi Jin was taken aback when he heard Sun Chengzong's words, and looked at the imperial decree in Sun Chengzong's hand, a little at a loss.Is this the imperial decree given to him by the emperor?It's impossible even if you think about it, gently took the imperial decree, slowly opened it, and Qi Jin looked at it seriously.

After a long time, Qi Jin slowly closed the imperial edict and handed it back to Sun Chengzong.Standing aside respectfully, Qi Jin didn't say a word.

Looking at Qi Jin with a smile, Sun Chengzong said in a playful tone: "General Qi, what do you think of this matter?"

After being taken aback for a moment, Qi Jin said in a serious tone: "My lord, I don't need to say anything about this lowly position. My lord has the deep trust of the emperor. It's a matter of great importance. It's better to make up your own mind."

Seeing that Qi Jin was quite cautious, Sun Chengzong smiled helplessly, and said in a sad tone: "General Qi, I have heard about what happened to the Qi family army for a long time. The court did do something wrong, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Denied. However, the old man also said that although the current emperor is young, he is very wise. His majesty has been enthroned for a short time, and there have been many things going on all the time, and he has neglected the affairs of the Qi family army for a while. The Qi family army asks for credit, I don’t need to say anything, as long as I see the name of the Qi family army, the emperor will definitely use it.”

Hearing Sun Chengzong's earnest words, Qi Jin was slightly taken aback, but he also felt that what he said made sense.Smiling calmly, Qi Jinyu said gratefully: "My lord, Qi Jin has worked hard for many years, and he is no longer as frivolous as he was when he was young. Now that he is middle-aged, he doesn't ask for much, as long as he can live in peace."

Sun Chengzong was slightly taken aback, he really did not expect Qi Jin, who was so high-spirited back then, to say such words now.When he saw Qi Jin's peaceful gaze, Sun Chengzong realized for a while.It's not that Qi Jin lacks vigor, but is much restrained.Obviously, after so many years of training, Qi Jin's spirit has not been worn away, but has grown a lot.

After pondering for a while, Sun Chengzong smiled indifferently, and said in a soft tone: "General Qi, let's not talk about this matter. We will wait and see in the future! Let's talk about the things in front of us now. Regarding the matter of going abroad , General Qi, what do you think?"

Seeing Sun Chengzong asking himself this question directly, Qi Jin frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "My lord, I don't know what you think about this matter?"

As if realizing that Qi Jin really didn't intend to speak first, Sun Chengzong nodded slowly, and said in a low tone: "This old man has been thinking about this matter, but he has never thought about it. The court attaches great importance to this matter. Jiannu Breaking into the Great Wall is already a very shameful thing. At this time, the emperor can still restrain himself, which is already very difficult, and it is very rare for a young emperor like the emperor to be able to do this."

Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Qi Jin nodded slowly. When he saw Emperor Tianqi's words that he would not accept the order of the emperor outside, Qi Jin knew that this was a great monarch.After all, no matter in the Ming Dynasty or in history, such an emperor is very rare.

Seeing Qi Jin nodded.Sun Chengzong knew that he agreed with his opinion, so he went on to say: "Although no matter what we do, the emperor will not blame us, but the old man also understands in his heart. If the attack can be successful this time, it will be a very good thing for the emperor. Things can show the majesty of the emperor. But the old man is also worried that if there is any mistake in this expedition, the loss will be great. Since the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty has lost its elite and has just recovered A little vitality. If it is really ruined in a battle, and I don’t know how many years it will take to recover, I really don’t want to take this risk.”

Qi Jin nodded slowly, he naturally understood what Sun Chengzong meant.Now the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not enough to go out.In the absence of cavalry, rashly going deep into the grassland and desert, and in the absence of food and grass supplies, the probability of failure is too great.

"General Qi, what do you think about this matter? Now we can talk about it!" Looking at Qi Jin, Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"My lord, I agree with my lord's point of view. My lord's idea is right. I have been in the border town for many years, and I still understand the situation of the Mongolian Tartars. Although they have been going downhill for so many years, they are still far stronger than me in the grassland and desert." The army of the Ming Dynasty, after all, we don’t have cavalry! If there is an elite cavalry, it’s a different matter, otherwise, once the back road is cut off, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.” Qi Jin knew that at this time he could After speaking, he expressed his thoughts, obviously he did not agree with sending troops.

Nodding his head slowly, Sun Chengzong smiled lightly, and said briskly: "If this is the case, then this is the case! The old man will write a memorial to the emperor later, and now we will quietly wait to catch Jiannu Nurhachi. Four Baylor!"

"Yes, my lord!" Qi Jin said respectfully after bowing to Sun Chengzong.

The conversation between Sun Chengzong and Qi Jin was not known to the outside world. At this time, countless people in the entire barracks flew out and left in all directions.

As he rode on the road, He Shixian glanced at Man Gui beside him, and said with a smile, "You have to go with us, because no one in the entire barracks can catch Huang Taiji except us."

Man Gui likes He Shixian very much.He is forthright and not bad at martial arts. In just a few days, the two have established a good friendship.Hearing He Shixian's words, Man Gui glanced at him in surprise, and Man Gui knew a little about He Shixian.Although his behavior is quite rough and informal, he is not a person who is full of tongues.Since he said so, there must be his basis.

Looking at He Shixian with a smile, Man Gui asked curiously: "General He, no one knows where this Huang Taiji is going. Everyone is just looking for it based on luck. Does General He have any secrets?"

With a mysterious smile, He Shixian curled his lips, and said proudly: "The rest of the people are naturally looking for luck, but I, He Shixian, are different. I can't do that kind of mindless thing. I have The secret, it’s you, I don’t tell ordinary people to him!”

Seeing He Shixian's appearance, Man Gui laughed loudly, clasped his fists at He Shixian, and said playfully: "In this case, I hope the general will not hesitate to teach you, and let the humble seniors see and learn something."

Pointing at Zhao Ratejiao beside him, He Shixian laughed and said, "Because I have him, he said that if he can find this direction, he will definitely be able to find it."

Seeing He Shixian pointing at Zhao Srate, Man Gui was taken aback, and was quite curious about Zhao Srate.However, Zhao Ratejiao is different from He Shixian. Although he always has a faint smile on his face, he has a slight alienation from everyone.

Facing Zhao Ratejiao, Man Gui said sincerely, "General Zhao, I hope you will give me your advice!"

Gently waving his hand, Zhao Liaojiao said with a smile: "It's not worth teaching, it's just some trivial things. Since General Man Gui wants to know, then Zhao will talk about it." He Shixian stared fiercely, Zhao The leader said slowly: "Actually, it's nothing to talk about. Now the matter of building slaves is raging and the entire frontier is under martial law. After all, capturing Huang Taiji is a great achievement. No one would not want this achievement. After all, it is really a great achievement." It’s too big. The three customs in the east and west, and Jiayuguan in the west are all guarded by our troops from the Ming Dynasty. As long as all the passes and passes along the way are blocked, Huang Taiji will not even think about going out.”

Listening to Zhao Ratejiao's words, Man Gui and He Shixian looked at each other and nodded at the same time.Both of them believed in what Zhao Ratejiao said. If he had soldiers and generals in his hands, Huang Taiji might be able to find a place where the Ming army's garrison was weak.But the current Huang Taiji is almost rare even if he is not alone, so it is impossible to go out through this road.

Glancing at the two people, Zhao Ratejiao smiled meaningfully, and said in a calm tone: "The current Huang Taiji definitely wants to go back, there is no doubt about it, so only by figuring out how he will go back can we catch him .”

The two nodded slowly again, He Shixian didn't feel anything, but when Man Gui looked at Zhao Ratejiao, there was already admiration in his eyes.Man Gui is different from He Shixian. He Shixian has a rough appearance and a rough heart, and he rarely thinks too much about things.But Man Gui is different. Growing up in a difficult environment, Man Gui has a stronger heart than ordinary people, and also deeply understands the importance of the mind.

For so many years, Man Gui has been learning the culture of the Ming Dynasty, of course most of it is the art of war.Zhao Shujiao has already thought of things that he didn't even think of, obviously this Zhao Shujiao is very extraordinary.

Nodding to Zhao Ratejiao, Man Gui said in a deep voice: "General Zhao is right. It is very dangerous to stay here in the Ming Dynasty for one more day. Naturally, Huang Taiji wants to go back. But I really can't think of it." Where will he go, once the court orders, I don't think he can go out."

Nodding his head slowly, Zhao Lediao smiled kindly at Man Gui. He always thought that Man Gui and He Shixian were the same kind of people.Now it seems that it is obviously not, and he can't help but be kind to Man Gui.Although the relationship with He Shixian is good now, Zhao Ratejiao still instinctively wants to avoid this type of people.

"Huang Taiji wants to go back. The road here is impassable. To the west is Datong. Huang Taiji will not go there, and it is not easy to go there, and now there is a war outside the Great Wall, and there are no soldiers. It is also very dangerous for Huang Taiji to go out. Excluding all these, the only place for Huang Taiji to go is the east, and I happen to know a place where he can escape, so I conclude that Huang Taiji is going east." With a confident smile, Zhao Shujiao said briskly. (To be continued..)
