Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 132 Courage is not only for men

The second joke is about Qi Jiguang "killing" chickens.

One day, Qi Jiguang couldn't stand the instigation of his subordinates, so he rushed into the house and wanted to scare his wife with a sharp sword, so as to shock her husband.Holding the sword, he tiptoed to Madam Qi's room.

Madam Qi was taking a nap, Qi Jiguang couldn't stop touching her to wake her up.

Madam Qi woke up and said angrily: "What are you trying to do with that broken sword?"

Qi Jiguang was so frightened that he trembled all over, and the Longquan sword bestowed by the emperor fell to the ground with a clang.He knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and hurriedly replied: "I, I want to kill a chicken for my wife to make up for my body!"

Madam Qi said violently, "Don't disturb my sleep by killing chickens from now on!"

Qi Jiguang was full of promises: "Yuan Jing respectfully obeys Madam's instruction!"

The third joke is about Qi Jiguang kowtowing to his wife.

Several children born to Mrs. Qi died in infancy.So Qi Jiguang secretly took three concubines surnamed Chen, Yang, and Shen behind his wife's back, and gave birth to five sons in total.Originally, Madam didn't know about this, so she has been living in peace.I never thought that one day a servant slipped away.Mrs. Qi found out, she took the family's waist knife in broad daylight, and wanted to settle accounts with Qi Jiguang.Qi Jiguang, who heard the news, hid his body armor in his clothes and bravely "greeted" his wife in the barracks.In the end, Madam Qi brandished a waist knife and chased him all over the barracks.

Qi Jiguang's physical strength was not as good as his wife's. After running for more than half an hour, he could only kneel down to his wife out of breath, kowtowed repeatedly, and howled, "There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is in the afternoon. I have no other choice."

Madam Qi's heart softened.Thinking of those children who died young, she threw the knife on the ground, and then burst into tears.

In the end, the matter ended with the adoption of all the sons born to the three concubines under the name of Madam Qi.

It was such a woman standing in front of He Liu.

He Liu looked up and down, and saw that Mrs. Qi was wearing a blue cloth gown, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand, she was dressed almost like a peasant woman.Who would have thought that she was a famous tigress in the army?

He Liu and Lao Hu lived in Xinhe County Yazhong.The soldiers of the governor's yamen were sent back to Yangzhou by He Liu.

The county government office was originally Qi Jiguang's temporary tooth tent, and Mrs. Qi also lived here.

Two days later, at noon, suddenly a hundred households broke into the county government office and shouted: "No! Five or six thousand Japanese pirates have come to our Xinhe county to kill!"

He Liu and Lao Hu came to the hundred households after hearing the sound: "What did you say? Japanese pirates? Killed and rushed to Xinhe County?"

Baihu said: "Yes, Mr. Imperial Envoy! There are five or six thousand Japanese pirates."

He Liu asked, "How many defenders are there in Xinhe?"

Baihu's answer made him gasp: "The main force was taken to Taozhu by Mr. Qi. There are only forty or fifty old and weak soldiers in the city."

With forty or fifty old and weak soldiers fighting five or six thousand Japanese pirates like wolves and tigers, even gods can't win this battle.

He Liu asked: "Is there still time to go to Taozhu to rescue the soldiers?"

Baihu said: "It's too late! It will take at least one day to go back and forth!"

He Liu was at a loss, and Lao Hu even suggested to him: "Why don't we leave Xinhe County first?"

At this time, Mrs. Qi was wearing a coarse cloth blue shirt, and walked slowly to the hundred households with a vegetable basket on her shoulders, and asked, "What's the matter? I heard you howling from a long distance! The imperial envoy was shocked, so you can't take it anymore." Is it?"

Baihu replied: "Ma'am, something is wrong! Five or six thousand Japanese pirates have killed us in Qinghe. Xinhe County can't be kept!"

Mrs. Qi murmured: "It's nothing if the county is lost. It can be taken back. It's just that tens of thousands of people in the city are afraid of being attacked by Japanese pirates."

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Just wait for me here for a while."

Mrs. Qi went to Qi Jiguang's dental tent.Not long after, she was wearing her husband's chain iron armor and holding a waist knife inherited from her family, and she came in front of He Liu, Lao Hu and the others!

He Liu was amazed, in just half an hour, that peasant woman with a vegetable basket and wearing a blue shirt has become a heroine like Hua Mulan and Liang Hongyu!
Mrs. Qi gave He Liu a salute in the army, and said, "My lord, the Tatars are attacking. If you are afraid, you can leave Xinhe County first."

He Liudao: "What about you?"

Mrs. Qi smiled relaxedly: "There are tens of thousands of unarmed people in the city. I am the wife of the dignified Zhejiang Dusi and the daughter of Commander Xinxi. How can I leave these people alone? I have my own way to deal with Japanese pirates. Even If you die in battle, you won't insult the honor of your husband's family or your mother's family! Imperial envoy, please leave!"

He Liu smiled: "Madam Qi also looks down on our Jinyiwei people too much! You are a girl who is not afraid of death, how can I be a deserter who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Mrs. Qi said: "In that case, you follow me. Let's make an agreement first. Don't use your status as an imperial envoy to dictate to me. Everything must be arranged by me!"

He Liu cupped his hands: "Then I will follow Madam Qi's arrangements!"

Madam Qi led He Liu and Lao Hu to the main street of the county town.

She stood on a high platform on the street and shouted to the people passing by: "Folks! I am the wife of Qi Jiguang, the capital of Zhejiang! Five to six thousand Japanese pirates have already killed Xinhe County!"

When the people in the city heard this, they were all terrified.

Mrs. Qi said impassionedly: "Heaven has the virtue of good life! I don't like to fight and kill! However, the Japanese pirates are obstinate and don't think about the virtue of the future. The river city is broken, and your parents, relatives, friends, children and relatives will all be murdered by Japanese pirates! There are only dozens of defenders in the city, and they are dead anyway. Are you willing to go to the top of the city with me and drag a few Japanese pirates as backs before you die? "

Without losing the opportunity, He Liu yelled, "Follow Mrs. Qi to fight Japanese pirates!"

"Follow Mrs. Qi and fight Japanese pirates!" All the common people echoed.

Mrs. Qi said: "Okay! Since you are willing to follow me to kill the enemy and protect the family, then you all follow my orders! Follow me to the Qi family's arsenal!"

Xinhe is the backyard of Qi's army.The arsenal of Qi's army was built in Xinhe County.

He Liu and a group of people followed Mrs. Qi to the gate of the arsenal.

In front of the arsenal, there are seven or eight Qi family soldiers holding hands.Leading the way is a small flag.

He Liu showed his Jinyiwei's badge: "Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi! Open the arsenal immediately!"

That Xiaoqi didn't seem to be afraid of Jinyiwei, he shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't know Jinyiwei. I only recognize our General Qi's order! Without his order, no one can open the gate of the arsenal!"

"I call your mother!" Mrs. Qi burst out, and walked in front of the little flag, "slapping" two big ear scratches: "What are you? How dare you stand in the way of my old lady? My old lady asked you to open the arsenal If Qi Jiguang has anything to say, let him come to me when he returns to Xinhe!"

Xiaoqi knew that the woman in front of her was the tigress of Mr. Qi's family.Handsome Qi is even afraid of her, let alone a small flag?
Xiao Qi hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Open the arsenal for Mrs. Shuai!"
