Chapter 716: Preparing to Send Troops

Qi Jiguang governed the army extremely strictly, and he never delayed the distribution of military pay and rewards. In daily life and training, soldiers who violated military discipline were punished or even beheaded. "To punish according to the law, this point has the style of an ancient famous general." Bai Lang felt that he definitely couldn't train soldiers. This person's governance of the army could be called rough—probably not as good as Li Guang.

It was just that the soldiers who followed him before could eventually die for him. This was also because Bai Lang had always led the charge, and the rewards and military merits after the war were never embezzled and never stingy. "This is of course. Does Li Shimin need to embezzle the military merits of his subordinates?" Bai Lang used a description to express himself—there was no legend of Bai Lang, the number one fierce general of the late Han and Three Kingdoms, in this world.

Lady Bai Xu was a daughter of an official family. In fact, there were not many things she could communicate with Bai Lang—in the end, Bai Lang had no interest in poetry and songs, and he didn't care much about the economy of the officialdom. A daughter of an official family didn't know much about the things in the officialdom, but she learned a lot from her mother about managing the household...

It was a pity that there were no servants in Bai Lang's house, and his life was simple, not at all like a fourth-rank high official. Even if the rooms in the official residence that no one lived in were dusty, he didn't care. As long as the places he could see were relatively clean, he could accept a layer of dust. He belonged to the typical smelly man.

As for martial arts, even the two big maids only had the share of being pointed out by Bai Lang. Lady Bai Xu didn't understand martial arts at all, and couldn't even do the Five Animal Frolics. Bai Lang naturally had nothing to say. Fortunately, Lady Bai Xu herself wrote sour poems and looked at the scenery, which was also self-entertaining. When she asked about Bai Lang's achievements, Bai Lang could only talk to her about Qi Nantang's governance of the army.

This young lady didn't know much about the filth among the civil officials, so she didn't say that according to the rules, there should be a 20% loss. She just said that if Qi Nantang trained a strong army, it might be able to suppress the Japanese pirates and let Bai Lang get a merit in planning and money and grain. In this way, Bai Lang might be promoted to the fourth rank to be a Prefect.

"If I were the Prefect of Hangzhou, Ningbo, Suzhou, Yangzhou, or Songjiang, it would be very good." Bai Lang also smiled. These were all famous rich places. Even if he didn't scrape the ground, he could probably make 100,000 taels a year just by collecting filial piety. However, such a beautiful thing can be thought about. He, a civil official who dominates with martial arts, estimated that there was no drama. Even if he was promoted to Prefect and the subsequent Provincial Administration Commissioner or Governor, it must be the Nine Frontiers...

If it weren't for the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang and Fujian, Bai Lang knew that he would have no chance to be a Defense Commissioner in Zhejiang—he didn't need to drink the soldiers' blood or drift, and the regular silver from sea merchants and the filial piety silver from the guard stations going to sea were already enough to make a fortune.

The affairs of the imperial court were high and the emperor was far away. Bai Lang was too lazy to pay much attention. Dongfang Bubai had already slipped away, and Bai Lang also had to set off for Mount Hua—Yue Buqun finally had a son, and Master Ning gave birth to a son for him. Now it was almost a hundred days. Yue Laoye of Huayin County, of course, wanted to set up a flowing banquet, and the local parents, old masters, and Juren and Xiucai also came to congratulate Yue Laoye on his son.

As a disciple, Bai Lang, Master Bai, naturally had to rush back. The Mount Hua Sect had now become the Mount Hua Academy, and the Sword Sect borrowed the house to reopen. Even Feng Qingyang couldn't stand it, so he ran out of Mount Hua to be out of sight. Bai Lang decided to set off for Mount Hua. When he was about to set off, he heard that Feng Qingyang and Linghu Chong seemed to have arrived in Borneo?

He arranged for the two of them to take a merchant ship because they were buying spices, because the ones causing trouble in this era were Japanese pirates, and the Folangji pirates hadn't appeared yet. Instead of letting these two restless guys mix with the Japanese pirates, it was better to send them to Borneo—Bai Lang was also afraid that a Feng Sword Saint and Linghu Sword Saint would appear in Japan.

The current Japan was in the era of Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga, the man of the wind in the Warring States period of Japan, had just destroyed the shogunate not long ago, and the two sword saints of Japan were still in the active period. Although Bai Lang hadn't seen them, he could imagine that these two were also a step away from the Innate realm, and of course, it was possible that they had entered the Innate realm. And Feng Qingyang's sword skills were definitely above these two.

Linghu Chong had Feng Qingyang's teachings, and his cultivation in sword skills would never be bad. In the future, he might be another Innate expert who entered the Innate realm with sword intent. If these two went to Japan—just thinking about it, Bai Lang could think of a series of troubles. Bai Lang still had a lot of things to do, and going to Mount Hua could only be fast back and forth by his own martial arts. Even so, he knew that he would definitely be impeached.

This kind of thing was painless. It was just an impeachment. Who in the imperial court didn't have three or five impeachments on their backs in this era—the several Cabinet Ministers in the period of Emperor Xian had dozens of impeachments on their backs, and they were still officials. "Paper Cabinet Minister, Mud Minister" was a beautiful story of a generation—that's how an official should be.

The current emperor was focused on cultivating immortality. If the government of the capital was still under his control, he could only listen to the situation in Zhejiang, which was far away. What if he was impeached? Was the Jiajing Emperor willing to dismiss the Innate great expert and peerless fierce general Bai Lang and send him home to retire? This emperor was the most shrewd person in the world, and he would definitely not make low-level mistakes in this regard.

Bai Lang packed his official robe, put it on his back, put silver in his pocket, and wrapped the longevity lock made of gold in the bag. He used the lightness skill of Ten Thousand Miles of Smoke and started running. Long-distance travel was definitely much faster than a horse. This was indeed a loss of the dignity of a high official of the imperial court... Bai Lang spent three days running from Wenzhou directly to Mount Hua. His Innate true Qi protected his body, and there was no dust on him.

After bathing and changing clothes, Bai Lang put on his official robe to congratulate his "Master"—Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent, Teacher. He wore a third-rank official robe, and no one would impeach him for losing the dignity of the imperial court. Bai Lang looked at the child held by Master Ning, as well as Yue Sect Leader who couldn't see his eyes, and Junior Sister Yue Lingshan who was guarding her mother, and laughed secretly. "Now Old Yue has even less motivation to go to the capital to take the exam. A wife, a son, and a warm bed are all he wants."

It was very happy to be a local official and gentleman in Huayin County. Bai Lang felt that it was really hard to say which was more comfortable than passing the Jinshi exam and becoming an official. Bai Lang, of course, sat in the chairman's seat, and the local gentlemen and local officials came to visit one after another—Bai Defense Commissioner was a big official, and the rank of the people present was respected by him. After eating and drinking, Bai Lang resigned after one night. "Master, I have to go. There are probably already impeachments. If I stay for a few more days, there will be a few more impeachments—you don't know how crazy those censors are, they just rely on us to eat."

Yue Buqun understood it...

Bai Lang also decided that when he returned to Wenzhou, he would send troops. It just so happened that Qi Jiguang had also trained the soldiers to look like something. It was necessary to find a soft persimmon to pinch and see the quality. ===== CHAPTER 717 =====
