Chapter 387
As Liu's mother thought, the emperor was indeed optimistic about Liu Haoqiang. He was not only brave and good at fighting, but also had a strong sense of firearms. He dared to put forward several improvement suggestions to Yun Deqing not long after he came into contact with the musket.
Although Yun Deqing could use muskets, he was not good at this, but he believed in Liu Haoqiang because he was the one who used the shortest time to use the muskets of the Northwest Army to make the muskets the best.
Yun Deqing wrote the suggestions made by Liu Haoqiang in the memorial and sent them back to Beijing. The emperor did not know Liu Haoqiang, but he believed that Yun Deqing's firearm manufacturing and transportation was fully responsible for Shu Jie, and the emperor also gave these suggestions to Shu Jie.
Shujie went to the secret base to discuss with three masters of craftsmen for a night. The master unanimously agreed that these suggestions were very useful and could help soldiers master the usage skills faster and aim more accurately.
The emperor was very happy, talented! The number of muskets and ammunition is now limited, and the soldiers who use muskets are selected from various armies. It is really important whether they can use muskets to the best effect.
When Yun Deqing submitted a memorial to recommend Liu Haoqiang, the emperor asked Youming to investigate Liu Haoqiang's family background and various information, and then asked Yun Deqing to find a suitable opportunity to send Liu Haoqiang to Beijing (please let him take his parents).
Yun Deqing knew the meaning of "bringing his parents with him", but Liu Haoqiang didn't know (even if he heard some, he didn't dare to think about it). Yun Deqing just told him that because of his contribution, the court gave him subsidies to take his parents to Beijing to visit his relatives.
(Liu Haoqiang's uncle's family is in Tianjin, close to the capital).
It was not until the palace met the saint and talked for more than an hour that the emperor personally told him to let his parents stay in the capital. After the court would give subsidies, Liu Haoqiang could not believe the fragmentary information he heard in the army and
guess.
Liu Haoqiang was very happy and excited. No one who had the intention to rebel would regard this as "keep it as a hostage", but would only see the glory given by the court and his own development prospects.
For Liu Haoqiang, since his uncle's family moved to Tianjin City, his parents were not very used to being in Ancheng, just because he was in Ancheng. And he was all in the army and could not take care of his parents at all. Relying on his point
Military pay and money earned by fathers in short-term work. Their life in Ancheng was not very stable.
It would be different if you stay in Beijing. The monthly subsidies provided by the court are not very generous, but parents are both frugal people. They rent a small courtyard to ensure food and clothing. They have saved up their military pay.
, I sent it back to Beijing once a year or two, so I can also make my parents more affordable. In addition, my uncle's family lives close to me, so I think I will come here to take care of it often. It takes more than three hours to get to the capital from Tianjin City.
More importantly, this means that the emperor and the general trust and value him. They are ready to train and promote him. Liu Haoqiang joined the army with the dream of a hero and the general. Which good man has not made achievements and the dream of glorifying his ancestors?
What made Liu Haoqiang more at ease is that now General Yun insisted on letting his parents live in the General's Mansion, and it would be better to live in the village without any hesitation. He helped the general's Mansion take care of the village even if he had to settle the rental fee for the small courtyard in the village.
They grow vegetables for themselves in a small piece of land.
Liu Haoqiang and his family went to the village to see it. It was in the suburbs. The small yard was not big and there were only three rooms. But it was enough for the second and second couples of Liu. Even if my uncle came to visit, there was a house to live in. In addition to growing vegetables, I could raise some food in the yard.
A chicken, one or two pigs, made Liu's mother very happy. With such good conditions, they could save more money, buy a yard in the city and marry a daughter-in-law in the future.
Liu Laoer said to his son excitedly: "The emperor and General Yun value you so much. Daqiang, you must do it well, don't worry about us, kill more Turkic devils and make more contributions, but you must be extra careful. Do you know? Don't do it if you have free time.
Follow those old soldiers to messy places, practice more skills, and be safe and kill more enemies."
When he was in Ancheng, Liu Laoer heard that many soldiers in the army took the money and went shopping for the building. His son had to marry a wife seriously. Now that the distance is far, he can't watch it, so he can only remind him first.
Let's go.
Liu Haoqiang is eighteen years old and inevitably hears those things in the army. At this time, his father warned in person, and his face turned red: "Dad, what are you thinking? My son wants to kill more enemies to repay the holy grace and the general.
Knowing the experience and the grace of supporting me, how can I have the time and spirit? Dad, don’t worry, I will send the money back and you will collect it if I have the chance. Even a copper coin will not go to such dirty places."
Liu Lao Er nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you know what you know. You don't need to send the money back. We are now in the light of the General's Mansion. Your mother raises chickens and feeds pigs. I grow vegetables and can weave some bamboo baskets.
If you do some carpentry, you can even save the subsidies given by the court in the future."
Neither of them can do any heavy work, and life like this is a worry-free life now. As long as the son is safe, he will marry a good wife in the future, and even his son can make more achievements in military affairs to glorify his ancestors. Their Liu family can be regarded as the ancestors who have accumulated virtue.
Liu Haoqiang accompanied his parents to Jincheng, helped them open the vegetable field in the yard, repaired the pigpen and chicken coop, and prepared to return to Ancheng to return to the team.
Before leaving Beijing, Liu Haoqiang went to the general's house to say goodbye and wanted to get what the general's wife brought to the general.
Coincidentally, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, I saw the carriages of the two Marquis' Mansions arrive. The carriages entered the gate. The ones who got off the car were Shu Yao and a girl who looked younger.
Liu Haoqiang quickly stepped forward to salute, Shu Yao smiled and said, "It's great, Brother Daqiang, you haven't left yet. I prepared a box of regular medicine for my second uncle. I want to ask you to take it to the northwest. I heard from my elder brother that you are today in the morning.
I'm afraid I can't get there. By the way, Xiutao, this is the brother of Daqiang. How about it, you can't recognize him at all, right?"
Xiutao? Liu Haoqiang was stunned. That little girl with round face back then? At that time, he and his father went to the Xia family courtyard to get ginseng slices. It was a girl of four or five years old who welcomed them in. Tiantian,
The likable smile made the father and son relax a little, not so nervous. He still remembered that a little girl from his neighbor called her away, and he remembered that name: Xiutao.
Before leaving, Xiutao smiled at them and said, "Uncle, brother, you sit and wait a moment. Sister Erniu is going to call the eldest master and the girl."
Later, the family went to Xia's house to thank and say goodbye. Xiutao was the first to see them welcome in. He even obediently asked if his mother had recovered from her illness.
At that time, his mother was moved that this little girl was really like his young girl who died prematurely. She had round faces and round eyes, and two round dimples, which were cute and pleasing.
Now, the little girl has grown up and she must not recognize her when she sees her on the road, but... she still has a round face and a round eyes, and a round dimples, which are still cute and pleasing.
Xiutao reacted the same way that day: "Wow, Brother Daqiang, why have you become so tall?" Shuyao's three siblings are tall, and she has been the shortest since she was a child. She is so disgusting.
She had no impression of Liu Haoqiang at first. She was too young back then, but when Ri Shuyao told her, she vaguely remembered a black and thin little brother.
Liu Haoqiang smiled and said, "A man is tall when he grows up? Most girls are petite and delicate." He is tall and tall, but he still likes such petite and delicate.
Liu Haoqiang was shocked by his thoughts. When would he like or not to think of other girls? Well, it must be that after his father warned him two days ago, he heard his parents say that his wife was not a wife.
My mind is messed up now.
Xiu Tao curled her lips: "Brother Daqiang doesn't need to comfort me anymore. My mother said that she and my father are not tall. I can grow up like this now and it is already a blessing for Sister Yao'er (Since Aunt Mei officially recognized General Yun.
As Mrs. Yun was adopted father and mother, Shujie and the three brothers and sisters did not allow Xiutao to call him the old man, second master, and girl, and changed to the elder brother and sister). At least he was taller than my mother. Haha, my mother was right, I should be content.
”
Shu Yao and the maids following behind them all laughed, and Liu Haoqiang also laughed silly. However, he really thought Xiu Tao was very good-looking, and she was two different good-looking from Princess Fuxing. (To be continued)
