Chapter 1202 Dust settled
"Father!"
As soon as the ship entered the harbor, Qin Cun'en came up to meet him in a small boat. Stepping on the rope ladder, he boarded the big treasure ship skillfully.
"My lord." Behind Cun En is Ah Cha's son Cun Xian, who is also wearing a red padded armor, and he boarded the boat after him. Seeing Qin Lang, he was still somewhat restrained.
"It's grown taller again." Qin Lang smiled and stepped forward to embrace the two adoptive sons. Cun'en was the war orphan of the Juding tribe adopted by Qin Lang after the Juding War. Cha's son, who was later brought south by Ah Cha, and recognized Qin Lang as his father.
"Brother!"
Qin Jun also smiled and came up to hug the two.
"Meet the county magistrate!"
Qin Lang smacked both brothers on the head, "How can my brother have such a foreign name? Change your mouth."
So Cunen Cunxian changed his name to Dalang.
Looking at the tall and strong adopted son, Qin Lang couldn't help but feel very relieved. Although he didn't accept five hundred adopted sons like Zhang Liang did, which family of generals didn't accept adopted sons?
This can be regarded as the characteristics of the martial arts.
Generals adopt sons, and gentry accept disciples, in essence, they are expanding the power of the family. For the samurai family, accepting some good young seedlings as adoptive sons can be both a part of the family and a student. Especially on the battlefield, these adopted sons led their own soldiers and guarded them, and they were the most reliable of their own.
As for the adopted son who can be trained in the war, if he is lucky, he will be recommended by his family, and he will join the army to serve. With time, he will also have the opportunity to become an officer. For generals, this relationship is very important. very important.
Qin Lang now has thirteen adopted sons and nine parent-children, and the thirteen adopted sons are basically starting to mature. For example, in the ninth year of Wude, he went to Youzhou Road, Hebei, and adopted the adopted son of Turkic blood in front of Luo Shixin's tomb in Beimanshan. He named him Cunxiao, and he is now twenty-six years old.
The hungry boy who was as hungry as firewood but as hungry as a fight back then is now an envoy of the Zhongwu Army, the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Kunming, and has a fourth-rank martial rank.
Even the orphan Cun En, who was adopted during the Juding War, served him all these years, was sent to Huangpu Academy in Guangzhou to study, and was later arranged to enter the Imperial College, and then entered the Zuowei as Xunwei. Already a sixth-rank captain.
Ah Cha's son Cunxian, this young man with the blood of the Yunnan Cuan family and the Wumeng Man family, now he doesn't look like the Southwest Man at all. He is tall and handsome, and has the rank of seventh rank.
"Have you all considered it?"
The two righteous brothers had the best relationship when they were studying in Huangpu Academy. They have been inseparable these years. I am very happy. Knowing that the adults are going to encircle and suppress the rioters on the island, the children should come to help."
"Your official positions are not easy to come by. If you resign now, it will be difficult to go back later." Qin Lang held the hands of his adopted sons.
They originally served as cavalry lieutenant and soldier Cao Junjun in the Zhenhai Navy in Guangzhou. This time, they voluntarily resigned and came to join the shogunate of the Luzon Dudufu to serve their foster father.
"We have all thought about it carefully. The future development of Luzon also needs people."
The imperial court Xu Qinlang established a mansion in the territory and established subordinates, allowing him to enlist his own bureaucrats and self-made soldiers and horses. However, the Luzon Dudu Mansion is, after all, only the capital of Jimi Prefecture. Although the officials appointed by Qin Lang Zhengpi are regarded as the same as the imperial court officials on the surface, they are actually not the same.
Even if Qin Lang confers the post of governor, third or fourth rank, it can only be counted in the fiefdom, and it is not recognized by the imperial court. These are two closed systems. If the officials of the shogunate want to serve in the imperial court, even If they were recruited by the imperial court, they would be demoted to the third grade just like the appointment of an honorary officer.
Shangzhu Kingdom of the second rank can confer a position at most the sixth rank, that's it.
Still have to wait for a job.
After finally becoming a sixth-rank and seventh-rank real-time military attache in Guangzhou Zhenhai, when he came to Qin Lang's place, even if he became the governor, it was actually not considered a promotion.
Cun En was very calm, "Without my adoptive father, I would have died in the backwaters of Juding a long time ago."
"No, you've always been brave." Qin Lang said with a smile, "Back when you were young, you dared to lead a group of radish heads with stones and wooden sticks to steal military rations and intercept supplies. You were bold and careful. You robbed the civilian team escorting the luggage a few times, and thought that a group of rout soldiers came out and hid there, but they mobilized the army to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them, but they almost let you boys run away and caught you Still can’t believe it.”
Cun En used to be a full-fledged wild child, bold and ambitious but also very smart. The little boy was able to organize a group of hungry teenagers to block the road and rob the army, and he succeeded several times.
As he gets older, Cun En seems to have become a boring gourd, talking less. However, the child who was hungry and thin at the beginning is now a big and strong child.
"At that time, my eyes were so hungry that even if I met a wolf, I wanted to pounce on it and bite a piece of meat."
"Hahaha, back then I admired your wildness, which is the only thing in this world that is afraid of you. Keep it up."
"My lord, please order the task."
The same burly and strong Cunxian said less, just patted his chest and said, "We request to join the team to encircle and suppress the Tibetans as soon as possible, and go to battle as soon as possible."
"No," Qin Lang shook his head, "The two of you have studied in Huangpu Academy, studied in the Imperial College, worked as servants in Zuoweixun's Mansion, and trained in Yulin Palace over the past ten years. It’s a waste of money for advanced training. I can’t bear to throw you all to the front line to fight the Japanese, it’s too wasteful.”
Cun En said with a blushing face, "I know that my adoptive father has spent a lot of effort in cultivating us brothers. Now that the family is in need, and when I wait to serve, how dare you sit in the back drinking tea and reading newspapers?"
Qin Lang had been planning to set up a training camp on Treasure Island before, recruiting teenagers who were born as orphans from the apprentices of the Qin family, and sending them to the island for systematic military training. While studying, they were also formed into a student army and organized into several battalions.
These orphaned student soldiers adopted by the Qin family, Qin Lang plans to use them as the future pro-army of the Qin family, and even become the backbone to defend the Qin family in the future.
Cun En Cunxian was stunned.
"My lord, we don't have experience, so I'm afraid we won't be able to take it well."
"Bullshit, are you still inexperienced? Not to mention that you studied as attendants by my side before, and later entered Beijing, served as guards in Zuoweixun Mansion, trained in Habayashi Palace, and served as a leader at the North Gate. But it is the most valuable experience. You have learned from the group of generals who have the most outstanding military exploits and the most abundant military experience in my Tang Dynasty, can you be inferior?"
"As long as you take out the dry goods you have learned over the years to train and teach these teenagers, it is completely enough."
"Sit down!"
Cun En stood there seriously, very respectful, "Your Excellency has no pretensions, but my child dare not disobey the rules. How dare a child sit in front of an adult."
Qin Lang pointed to his eldest son, Qin Jun, "Da Lang also worked as a servant in Zuowei's family, and even entered the Yulin Palace, but I think he is full of airs and lacks real training experience. I plan to let him follow you guys." Also enter the training camp, I will be your assistant, and you will train him well for me."
Qin Jun blushed, but still obediently stepped forward to salute the two righteous brothers again, "I also ask the two elder brothers to give more advice in the future."
"Dare not!"
"Why don't you dare, you are his brother, if he is disobedient, you can smoke it for me."
"Not only him, but your other brothers, I will kick them all into the training camp to train well. There is one thing that has been agreed in advance. They will hide their identities and names and change to ordinary identities and names to go in for training. You keep it secret and don't give them special treatment."
Cun En looked at each other in blank dismay.
"It's normal for an elder brother to teach a younger brother. You should play your role as a good elder brother."
Cun En nodded earnestly, "My son understands, so I will keep this in mind."
The boat docked, and Qin Lang took his sons off the boat.
The pier was already crowded with people who came to greet her.
Qin Lang held Qin Cun'en in his left hand and Qin Cunxian in his right hand and walked onto the pier. Instead, his own son Qin Jun followed him, holding the cloak for him, like a servant.
Qin Yong brought Shan Sili, Jia Wu and others to greet him.
"Sanlang, we have also heard the will of the saint here, what's going on?" Qin Yong asked beside Qin Lang with some doubts.
"Exactly what you heard."
"No way, it's that simple?"
"Could it be possible that the world will collapse?"
"There is always a feeling of being caught on the spot for doing bad things and stealing things, but after being caught, not only was he not punished, but he even gave us the stolen things directly."
Qin Lang shook his head.
"Listen to me and rest assured, this matter is settled, and there is no need to worry about it in the future. This time, I can finally do it boldly."
"It's not easy. Even if the will is okay, we have to pay one-third of the tax in the future, and it will not be easy for us to immigrate in the future. The rules and regulations have increased a lot."
Qin Lang didn't take it seriously, "It's not a bad thing."
"Is there any change in Beijing?" Qin Yong asked again.
Qin Lang looked at him, "Well, if this happened ten years earlier, the sage would have taken a different attitude. It can only be said that the timing is in our favour."
"Could it be possible?"
"It's not that urgent, but I'm really thinking about succession."
Qin Yong let out a long oh to show that he understood.
"The sage didn't call you back to Beijing?" Since it's such a time, Qin Lang should be called back.
"I left the capital with great difficulty. What are you going to do when you go back?"
"When Li Ji returns to Beijing, it's probably almost there." Qin Lang said mysteriously.
Qin Yong understood it in seconds.
