The chef arrived from Baoding Mansion yesterday. Several wild game was from the Jurchens in Shizhen. Please rest assured about the things in the sea. They were all good things at that time. In addition to Gaosou Laojiao in Baoding Mansion, there are also good wines that Zhuoshi Winery had stored for many years. The handsome guy will go down and prepare now!"

When Wang Tong went upstairs, he heard someone talking like a cannon on the stairs. Although he was anxious, he could hear it clearly. This was the voice of Manager Hu, Linhai Pavilion.

Linhai Pavilion is an old signboard of Tianjin Wei. It has always been a place where wealthy people have a private drink. The shopkeepers in the store are also in moderation to serve others. This shopkeeper Hu is even smarter and more wise.

However, what he heard just now made Wang Tong frown. He was so careful about his diet that even Chen Sibao and Tang Sihai could not do it. Why did famous generals like Qi Jiguang do this?

Wang Tong walked slowly, and Manager Hu walked down the stairs with a smile. When he saw Wang Tong, he quickly saluted respectfully first and then sideways to avoid him.

As soon as I went upstairs, I saw that the elegant seats separated by screens on the second floor had been changed. There were only one table and two seats on the upper floor. Qi Jiguang, who was wearing Wufu Yuanbao pattern, was sitting there.

Seeing Wang Tong going upstairs, Qi Jiguang did not stand up, reached out to make a call, and said with a smile:

"Long time no see Wang Qianhu, sit down."

"I don't know that Lord Qi has come to Tianjin and has never been welcomed. I hope you don't blame me!"

No matter from that aspect, Wang Tong was also a junior in front of Qi Jiguang. He politely paid homage to him and then went to the other side of the seat to sit down.

The table was filled with exquisite dried fruits and cold dishes, and the wine was already warm. Seeing that Qi Jiguang had no such power as the first sight, he was a rich man who was pampered and lived in a luxurious family. If he hadn't been walking along the way, Wang Tong even felt like he was having a banquet at a giant family in the capital.

However, Wang Tong was still in the officialdom for a while. He didn't show it on his face, but just sat down with a smile.

After the battle in Gubeikou, Wang Tong's thoughts were a little different from before. Wang Tong was willing to fight for the country, but it does not mean that he did not know that Qi Jiguang actually ignored the life and death of the Huwei Army. The great victory of the encirclement was actually obtained through the death and injury of the Huwei Army.

Wang Tong's impression of Qi Jiguang was always extremely respectful. Whether it was his understanding of that life or in this era, Qi Jiguang was also a famous general and a pillar of the country at that time. However, such a person was for the Ming Dynasty, but he did not consider the life and death of the Huwei Army. Not to mention that Qi Jiguang was close to Mr. Zhang of the dynasty, and there was something difficult to say.

Wang Tong was also loyal to the country, but the Ming Dynasty was in peacetime and was not a juncture of life and death. Wang Tong also had to consider himself and the interests of his small group.

And to be more profound, the life and death of the Huwei Army is closely related to Emperor Wanli, which is the power that the emperor deserves to rely on now.

Wang Tong now has a more comprehensive idea. The famous generals and loyal ministers in his life were not gods who were not in the world and were devoted to the country. They also had seven emotions and six desires. They also had to fight for their own power and fame and fortune. This struggle often had one kind of intersection and conflict with Wang Tong.

Seeing Wang Tong sitting down, Qi Jiguang picked up the wine pot warmed on the mud stove next to him and reached out to fill the wine glass in front of Wang Tong.

The seniority and the seniority of the seniority and the high and low official positions are not careless in the officialdom. Qi Jiguang poured wine, and Wang Tong quickly stood up," said in panic:

"How did this make it happen! Lord Qi, kill the official?"

Qi Jiguang's martial arts skills are also famous all over the world, and his movements are also quick. The wine glass is filled with no drops spilled out. Qi Jiguang put down the wine pot, pressed his hand, and said with a smile:

"Since it's just you and me, why bother to be so polite? Just sit down! "

Wang Tong was even more puzzled, but they were the two of them on the second floor. Wang Tong pondered and sat down. After sitting down, Qi Jiguang drank the wine in his glass and said with a smile:

"Wang Tong, do you resent me??"

When Wang Tong said this, the chopsticks that Wang Tong stretched out immediately stopped, was stunned, and stood up and said:

"Where is what Lord Qi said, the lower official is a private army of Jinyi, and is in charge of the imperial guards. He has nothing to do with Jizhen, so why not talk about resentment?"

"Use your thousands of soldiers and horses as bait to guide the enemy and siege on the grassland. Your hundreds of casualties are the heaviest losses since the army. If I and General Li were one hour late, the casualties would probably be even greater, and it would be possible to be defeated and destroyed." Your army was originally happy in Wei in Tianjin, but was pulled onto the grassland by Lao Fu. After experiencing such a bloody battle, the losses were not mentioned, but after making meritorious contributions, they did not receive any praise. How can you be willing and not resent?

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking with a smile, Wang Tong was a little confused. In the officialdom, three points are the measure. Why did Qi Jiguang, a general who had been in the officialdom for many years, say so directly. He poured himself on his own drinks. Wang Tong was stunned and simply stretched out his chopsticks to pick up two cold shrimps and put them in his mouth to chew them. He put down his chopsticks, but Qi Jiguang looked at him with a smile, waiting for an answer.

It turned out that it was not a mistake. He wanted to ask Wen Xubeng to ask for it. Gui Ze swallowed the food. He leaned back and was happy to guard against the feet. Qi Jiguang suddenly came to see him and said what he meant. Is there any intention? After pondering for a moment, Wang Tong slowly spoke:

"Mr. Qi is the leader of this battle. All the key points are clear. Your Majesty has the will, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Ministry of War has documents, and the officials are in charge of the imperial guards. These military orders must be followed and acted upon. What resentment is there to be discussed."

After saying it carefully, he saw Qi Jiguang nodding with a smile, and after thinking about it, Wang Tong said again:

"However, the soldiers in Xiaguan's army said that the field battle is the duty of a military man, but they can make wedding clothes for others' military merits. Fortunately, Xiaguan and Cai Jianjun knew that they were righteous and had great benefits and pensions, which was to comfort them."

Wang Tong was originally going to go there carelessly, but looking at Qi Jiguang's smile, he felt a little unwilling to express his dissatisfaction, so that people would know that he was not stupid and knew the key points, but he just didn't want to care about it.

At this moment, someone greeted him respectfully:

"Sir, can you serve the food?"

Qi Jiguang agreed, and the mermaids carrying the dishes came up one after another. The people who served the dishes looked like personal guards, but Wang Tong took a few more glances at the tableware.

This tableware is not an ordinary plate, but the kind you see in Ma Fang Mansion of Xuanfu. Below is a container similar to a silver basin, and above is the utensil for serving dishes.

There was a faint smell of wine in the air. This must be the strong wine burning in the silver basin and heating the dishes on it. The soldiers opened the lid on the plate and quietly retreated. Needless to say, the dishes were delicacies, and there was no need for Ma Fang to eat inferior food, and even exquisite. Wang Tong was a little stunned, and then slowly shook his head. Are the generals of the border town of Daming all in this style? Even Qi Jiguang, who is famous all over the world, really makes the characters have nothing to say.

Strictly speaking, each family has its own way of living, but Qi Jiguang's military pay cannot do this level. If you can have this scene, you are not just trying to make an idea about military pay. Wang Tong felt that he was quite distorted, but he didn't know what to say.

"I think it's too extravagant?"

Qi Jiguang asked with a smile. Wang Tong was in a daze. After being asked, he nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head. Qi Jiguang laughed and said:

"Wang Tong, the important towns on the nine sides, are like this everywhere, and I cannot avoid the customs. Everyone is like this in the world, what kind of Bhutan can I have!"

Wang Tong laughed a few times, but stopped talking. Qi Jiguang's intention was more confused. He said more and more wrong. It would be better not to say anything. Qi Jiguang ate a few bites of the dishes and said leisurely:

"There are also people who don't do this. From the time Yu Zhifu went from the army to the garrison and then to the leisurely village, he had food, clothing, flowers and food like when he was in the army. He was no different from the soldiers in the military academy below, and he was very honest."

Yu Dadi's life is extremely simple. Wang Tong respects this old man very much. In his heart, Yu Daxian is a pure soldier of this era and a role model for his own learning. Qi Jiguang saw Wang Tong's expression and continued with a smile:

"Yu Zhifu has been ups and downs many times in his life, and has also been a general and a prisoner for his crimes. He has made great contributions than me, why was he impeached by a censor in a high position, and why no one in the court told him, if it weren't for Tan Lunzun Zili's reign for several years, he had been the Minister of War.

Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang shook his head and smiled, and looked at Wang Tong's expression and said again:

"He is an official, and others are not involved in any other person. Naturally, he has to change to the one who is beneficial. The old lady is so arrogant in front of others and Jizhen. Everyone has gained benefits. This position is naturally stable and the court is also maintained in every way. Wang Tong, look. I and Yu Zhifu, who is higher and lower?"

The answer is obvious. Wang Tong was about to speak, but he felt something was wrong and slowly spoke:

"Mr. Qi means that Lord Yu respects ethics, is not tolerated by the world, nor can he do anything for the world. Lord Qi follows the crowd, but he can use this to stay in a high position for a long time and do more for the Ming Dynasty."

Qi Jiguang did not answer Wang Tong's words, but instead smiled and opened the topic and said:

"If you lead your army to the grassland, if you don't go, you will cherish your body and forget your loyalty and righteousness, which is unfaithful. If you are defeated by a wheel captive on the grassland, your troops will be dispersed, and you will die there, which is incompetent and unfaithful. It is harmful to the Ming Dynasty, incompetent, and useless to the emperor. If you show your infidelity, the disaster will be eliminated early. If you are incompetent, you will die."

This was so blunt that Wang Tong did not react immediately. Then he took a deep breath and stared at Qi Jiguang who was sitting there. What was the intention of this famous general who was in the world today?

Qi Jiguang picked up the wine pot and filled it with Wang Tong, and said with a smile:

"But, this time, I know that you are loyal and capable!!"
