MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 714 Fanwai Siblings (24)

   The four of them followed the Jianghu people to kill the pirates and became addicted. After going out twice more, Qin Wu no longer stopped him.

   Having experienced killing and blood, the four have grown rapidly, and their hearts are harder, but also softer. The four also respected life more, and truly understood that once a person dies, nothing is left.

   And as they grew, they became famous, at least in the coastal areas. Many Jianghu people have never seen them, but they also know that Guanghaiwei has produced three young heroes and one heroic girl. Although she is young, she has already practiced very well in kung fu.

   In addition, he is chivalrous and determined to help the poor and help the needy, and he did a lot in the fight against the bandits. Most Jianghu people have a good impression of the four.

   And some well-informed sectarians are even more friendly to them. After all, they will not admit mistakes in Lingtian sect Qinggong.

   The next head of Lingtianmen may be selected from these four people, and they are very willing to repair with them at this time.

   The four children couldn't see the thoughts of these old rivers and lakes, they just thought that they were so charming that they conquered these rivers and lakes seniors, so they were like a duck to water in this area.

The army in the imperial court was stationed in Guanghaiwei, and the pirates on Guanghaiwei were also suppressed and escaped. After the reclusive retreat, the four happily packed their things and followed a group of Jianghu warriors to the southeast coast. go.

   It is said that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household opened up, and even approved large sums of money to various places, allowing them to exchange the heads of pirates for money, and the wealthy people on the southeast coast did not need to transport the money from the capital, but deducted it directly from the tax and silver.

   Now because of the killing of pirates, they not only have money to send home, but also make a name for themselves in the arena, which is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

  The pirates on the southwest coast have run almost as fast, so they decided to go to the southeast coast to see. The pirates there are much more ferocious than the ones here.

  Bai said introspection that the four of them were very interested, so he generously spread out most of the money he earned, and only took some tolls and then followed them to the southeast.

The four Qin Wu and the others followed silently with their bags on their backs. Seeing that the children in Yushantang were pitiful, they also left half of their silver coins. They were all windfalls anyway. These children whose homes were broken by the pirates should also be the cause.

  The people of the rivers and lakes are purely happy, but they only feel that the always stupid and stupid imperial court has finally done something right.

"Killing the pirates is obviously so simple, but the imperial court suppresses every year but loses every year. If they can't win, they should let us come, but we are forbidden to bring knives and swords, and we are not allowed to kill at will. Those people must be good people. Will we kill?"

   "That's right, this time the officials somehow figured it out, and they were willing to spend money to hire us to kill the enemy."

   "Bah, do you really think that this is the court showing favor to us? This is what we do as a road stone, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back."

   "No one is forcing you to go, if you're afraid of dying, you won't go!"

"Who said I'm afraid of death? I think the court's actions are inauthentic. They all require us to kill pirates, yet they have set so many conditions. They have to verify the identity of pirates, check their ears, and even the government. Follow the process of personally recording the killing of the enemy, can we still kill the good and succeed?"

   "You can all think of killing Liang and taking advantage of it, which shows that the court's worries are not unreasonable."

   "Yes, we martial arts people are naturally bold and chivalrous, but there are always a few mouse feces. I don't think it's bad for the imperial court to take precautions."

There was an instant uproar in the crowd, and a few people even picked up their weapons and started fighting. After a few moments, they both hung up. The people next to them saw that they were getting angry and seemed to be desperate, so they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. People are separated. This strife is over.

  Pingping and Lele silently turned his back, burying his head in hardship without mentioning it, Bai introspective and An An looked at each other, and also looked down and lowered his head.

   You must not let them know that these rules set by the court were proposed by them, or they will be beaten to death, right?

   Before, although the imperial court encouraged the Jianghu people to go to kill the bandits, and even allocated money for the reward, they did not have much hope.

   is just to divert the attention of the Jianghu people who ran to Guanghaiwei. Who knew the effect was surprisingly good, so many people ran to kill the bandits.

   Originally, this kind of thing is not very high. After all, such a huge country has to rely on unorganized and undisciplined Jianghu people to kill pirates. This is really disgraceful for the country and the Ministry of War.

   So local officials will not report it, but there is peace and happiness here.

   The two of them are at the age of naughty and show-off. They are only eleven years old this year, but they can kill the enemy and protect the people and earn so much money. How could they be unhappy?

  My mother taught them from a young age that the joy of being alone is not as good as the joy of others. The happiness of one person is one, but if the happiness is spread to ten people, the degree of happiness will increase exponentially.

   So the two of them happily wrote to their parents, saying that when they grew up, they could protect themselves, so it was right for us to come out, you don’t have to worry about it;

   He happily wrote letters to all the brothers and sisters, showing off that we were better than you guys. When you were eleven years old, you were still nerds who could only bury your head and study hard, and we were ready to fight the enemy and protect the people.

   Even Aunt Niuniu's son, who was just born and under the age of one, received their letter, boy, did you see how awesome the cousins ​​are?

  You have to grow up quickly and learn like us in the future, but don’t always listen to adults and stay in the capital, then you will not grow up.

   Similarly, as their second senior brother, the emperor who was deep in the palace also accidentally received their letter.

   Except for the opening paragraph, the text of the letter is the same. From how they ran away from Beijing, they wrote about the misery of the people of Guanghaiwei, and then to their bravery to kill the enemy. The description is very detailed, even the food in Guanghaiwei, the vastness of the sea and the scenery Written in, its level of detail is comparable to a cumbersome diary.

   The post station that delivered the letter received a large pile of letters, and they were a little impatient, but they almost fainted when they saw the rows of addresses in the envelope, especially when they saw a letter that was sent to the imperial palace to the emperor.

   They felt that the two teenagers who came to deliver the letter were going crazy, but they still sent the letter to the capital quickly. Anyway, it was not their decision whether it could be sent to the palace.

  Who knew that the letter not only entered the palace, but also appeared in the hands of the emperor for the first time. The emperor groaned when he saw the two junior brothers and him showing off the money they had earned by killing the bandits.

  Although Pingping and Lele did not mention it, but reading the meaning between the lines also knew that although these Jianghu people also suffered casualties, they were very small.

   is at least much smaller than the casualties sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits.

  Emperors are all good-faced, and Li An can't be excluded, but in addition to face, he loves to take care of the lives of the people, and he cherishes the soldiers more.

  Why are the pirates not effective every year, and why are there so many pirates killed?

  Because the Great Chu navy was weak, they needed twice or even three times the strength of the pirates to win the battle and suffered heavy casualties.

   Therefore, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household were reluctant to send troops to suppress pirates. For the Ministry of War, suppressing pirates meant a large number of reductions. Those sailors had just been taught how to fill up on the battlefield, so they were naturally unwilling.

   For the Ministry of Household, once the troops are dispatched, they have to pay a lot of salaries, provisions, weapons and supplies, and sometimes they have to build warships.

  If you want to suppress bandits on a large scale, you can't beat them without a few million taels.

  In that case, the cost outweighs the benefit, and no one is willing to do it.

   With those millions of taels, how many water conservancy facilities can he repair, how many dams can he repair, and how many official roads can he build?

   Therefore, the emperor is not willing to spend such a long time to suppress the bandits, but now there is a better way waiting for him.

   With just a small amount of troops, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver could possibly wipe out the pirates along the coast. Well, it could also find something to do for those Jianghu people who are so idle and make some small disturbances from time to time.

  The emperor had an idea and went to the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing and the elders to discuss it. As a result, three of the six were against it, two were in favor, and one person did not express his attitude and remained silent.

  The emperor let them discuss, and finally only said to the three ministers who insisted on not giving in: "Is my face more important, or is it the people of Limin, or is the face of the royal family and the Ministry of War more important than the society of Jiangshan?"

  The ministers were silent.

Li An sighed: "Why did I not know that it is too embarrassing to use Jianghu people to suppress pirates? However, the navy has been training for a long time without success. This face is not lost by those Jianghu people, nor by the coastal people, but by you. ."

  The Minister of Military Affairs bowed his head in shame, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this minister is guilty, and has never been able to become a navy..."

Li An shook his hand and said, "We can wait for the military training, but the pirate affairs must not be delayed any longer. Yesterday they were able to attack Guanghaiwei Massacre, today they can attack Hangzhou, tomorrow they may attack Tianjin, and then run to the capital. Come."

  The expressions of the six ministers were a little strange, and even the two who voted in favor couldn't help but stare at the emperor in confusion.

  Your Majesty, even if you want to use Jianghu people to suppress bandits, you don't need to give such an example, can a little Xiao Xiao be able to attack the capital?

   This is taking their Great Chu army as a clay sculpture?

   Even if their navy is not very good, the army still has nothing to say, and it is no problem to fight with the Tartars. Can they still beat a group of pirates who have fallen from gangsters?

   However, the other three still thought carefully about the emperor's words, and after thinking for a long time, they could not come up with a good solution.

   But it is too shameful to hire Jianghu people to suppress bandits, and the Minister of War really can't open that mouth.

Guang Haiwei is a special case. It is an urgent policy to implement it only for a period of time in that place. If such a policy is implemented on the entire coastline of Da Chu for a long time, let him, the Minister of War, put the face of the entire Da Chu army on the line. ?

   The last six people did not reach a consensus, and they were finally brought to the court for discussion. Most of them opposed it, and only a small number of courtiers voted in favor.

  Because the matter involved his own children, Gu Jingyun went to court early in the morning for the first time in those few days.

   This made all the ministers very nervous. I wonder how Mr. Gu, who rarely attends court meetings twice a year, has time to report every day. Could it be that Qingxi Academy is going to close down, so the gentleman doesn't have to go to class?

  Gu Jingyun no matter what others think, in short, he stood silently in front of all the ministers, and when he agreed with the faction that he was going to lose the battle, he would quietly interject, and give people a word or two, so he set off the court again.

  The ministers blushed and almost couldn't help rolling up their sleeves to fight.

   On the contrary, several senior patriarchs quickly came to their senses. Although Gu Jingyun didn't say it clearly, he was on the side of the supporters.

   The five patriarchs and a minister silently looked at the emperor above, and they all felt that Gu Jingyun was the helper that the emperor had specially hired.

   Sure enough, although Gu Jingyun was not in the court, it seemed that he did not care about political affairs, but he would intervene when he had the ability to intervene. Who would make the emperor trust him?

   The few did not know that this time he was not for the emperor, but for his own children.

   Li An also knew, but looking at the faces of several ministers, he just held back.
