[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

Geng Yi also provided medicinal recipes, one is angelica ginger mutton soup, the most warming and tonic.

It's not difficult to make, just put the mutton in water, add angelica and ginger and stew for two hours.

Just a little, the ginger needs to be fried in the pan first and then put in to stew, the taste of the mutton soup will be better.

This is a medicinal recipe from Medical Sage Zhang Zhongjing's "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber". Mutton is warm in nature, warming the middle and nourishing deficiency, and it is most effective in dispelling cold and dehumidification.

Ginger can also dispel cold and warm the stomach, and angelica can promote blood and nourish blood.

Adding these three things together, the effect of dispelling cold and replenishing warmth should not be too good, and it is not easy to get angry.

If you only drink ginger soup, it is easy to get hot and angry, and you may have a sore throat.

The medicinal wine Geng Yi prepared was red sage root rice wine. You only need to chop up red sage root and add it to the rice wine to soak for half a month before drinking it.

Danshen can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, nourish blood and calm the nerves, and rice wine can strengthen the medicinal properties of Danshen.

Seeing that the fourth elder brother was constantly worrying about what to bring to the thirteenth elder brother, and it took a lot of paper to make a list, she recalled a few recipes and chose these two out of them.

The fourth elder brother said: "If you are freezing, you can also drink this Danshen rice wine. Drink a small cup in the morning and evening, don't be greedy. If you feel cold, you can drink it three times a day."

It’s too cold in Russia, Brother Thirteen may not be able to bear it all the time in the capital. Drinking strong alcohol is not good for your health. Rice wine should be much milder. Wet and frozen joints, leaving future troubles.

The thirteenth elder brother listened to the fourth elder brother rambling about what he had brought. He had everything to eat and wear, and even prepared a lot of medicinal materials and pills. He just felt warm in his heart: "My younger brother made the fourth elder brother worry about it. "

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about, you are going away for several months, as an elder brother, don't you need to take care of him more?"

He didn't ask anyone to lift the things out of the cart, and asked Thirteenth Brother to take the carriage away, and put all kinds of medicinal recipes in the brocade box and stuffed them into Thirteenth Brother's hands: "After you go, It’s okay to ask Tu Lishen to help, or you can ask someone around you to do it. I asked someone to pack some medicinal materials. If there is not enough, it may not be easy to buy over there. Write to me later, and I will send someone to send it over there. "

After all, if salt stones are delivered over there, porcelain or other goods will also be delivered over here, and Brother Thirteen can also drop by.

The thirteenth elder brother looked at the fully packed carriage. In addition to medicinal materials, pills, and a lot of cloth and leather, he even prepared several beds of bedding. Apparently, the fourth elder brother was afraid that he would freeze, so he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Fourth brother, you don't actually need to bring so many things. Tu Lishen didn't bring so many things in the past. I was on an errand. Isn't it a bit extravagant to bring so many things?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "When Tu Lishen passed by, he was not prepared enough and almost got sick from the cold. Later, the locals asked him to drink some strong wine every day, and the ninth brother sent a lot of things to keep warm. better."

The locals are used to it at all, and they are not afraid of the cold.

Tu Lishen was miserable. When I was in the capital, there was an earth dragon, but there was nothing there, so I could only sit next to the stove, and it was so cold that I shivered when I was far away.

It's okay to get up and walk around, but once he sits down and doesn't move for a while, his feet are already too cold to feel.

Tu Lishen carries a hand stove every day, and the four braziers at his feet are still freezing cold.

Fortunately, I took the doctor there, and the medicinal materials were prepared enough. Later, Brother Jiu sent a lot of them over, otherwise Tu Lishen, no matter how young he was, would not be able to bear it, and it was so cold that he couldn't sleep well at night. Both feet are freezing cold.

The fourth elder brother heard from the ninth elder brother that the thirteenth elder brother started to prepare before he was about to leave: "This is nothing extravagant, it is something that is really needed, I think it is too little! If you don't have to rush over, why You have to prepare a few more carriages to fill them up."

He first packed the important things for Brother Thirteen and brought them over, and then sent them over later.

Otherwise, with so many things, Brother Thirteen would be cumbersome if he was on his way.

Brother Thirteen had no choice but to nod, and took everything away.

In addition, the waiters had to be brought with them, and a few stable confidants were selected to stay in the mansion as gatekeepers.

The younger ones went out with Brother Thirteen, including maids, eunuchs and cooks.

The fourth elder brother looked at the young cook with a bit of disgust and said, "How about I let Cook Liu follow you there?"

Chef Liu's craftsmanship is not bad, and he is not too old, so he should be able to survive the hard work.

Chef Ma probably won't be able to do it anymore, he is older, but the apprentices around him can be regarded as taught, so it's okay to follow along.

Brother Thirteen quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, just make do with it."

How can the fourth elder brother let the thirteenth elder brother make do with it, and Geng Yi's medicinal food and medicinal wine recipes were all made by the kitchen, and they were sent here after they were tested, so naturally the kitchen is more familiar.

"That's it. Let Cook Liu and Cook Ma have one or two apprentices to follow. You will not be used to eating there. According to Brother Jiu, there are no cooks among the people under Tu Lishen. Most of the locals just He is good at making barbecue, but Tu Lishen is not used to eating it."

Tu Lishen is also embarrassed to ask the capital to send a cook, and who wants to come to such a cold place?

Now he is looking forward to Brother Thirteen bringing a few cooks to save him from the fire and water.

If the thirteenth elder brother didn't bring it, Tu Lishen would probably cry when he knew it.

Just thinking about it, Brother Thirteen is quite sympathetic to Tu Lishen.

However, Tu Lishen lived in dire straits there, but he handled the errands properly. It should be said that he was selected by Brother Nine?

The thirteenth elder brother was stuffed into a plain brocade box by the fourth elder brother, saying that the pills inside were specially brought for Tu Lishen.

He was confused and asked: "Fourth brother, what kind of medicine is in it? I'll take the doctor there, and it's okay to give Tuli a deep pulse and then give the decoction."

The fourth brother said embarrassingly: "This pill is suitable for Tu Lishen. He has nothing wrong with it, but he eats too much barbecue, which is not very convenient."

The thirteenth elder brother immediately understood that Tu Lishen had eaten too much barbecue, and he must have been constipated due to internal heat!

The doctor would have known about this at the first glance, but Tu Lishen was embarrassed. He probably wrote a letter to secretly tell the ninth brother, and then the ninth brother secretly told the fourth brother, and then asked Dr. Li to prepare the pills and send them over directly.

The thirteenth elder brother accepted it silently, and only then did he understand why there were dried vegetables on the carriage sent by the fourth elder brother.

This is because he is afraid that he will be prone to constipation if he only eats barbecue like Tu Lishen.

They are all dried vegetables dried by Chef Ma and his apprentices. They can be soaked in water for an hour or two, and then used for cooking.

Dried vegetables can be kept for a long time as long as they are stored properly, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to eat any vegetables.

Although it is still a little worse than fresh vegetables, it is better than not eating.

In fact, some seeds have been prepared, but I don’t know if it’s too cold to plant them.

If possible, the fourth elder brother would like to let the thirteenth elder brother bring all the craftsmen with him, and build a hot kang over there, so that he won't be afraid of the cold when he sleeps at night.

It would be too much of an exaggeration to just bring craftsmen, Si elder brother still handed over the blueprint of hot kang to thirteen elder brother, to see if he can get one or two with his people, so that thirteen elder brother and Tuli can make it in the middle of the night Sleep well.

Everything is ready, Brother Thirteen is about to set off.

The other elder brothers who were close to each other came to see him off, and the ninth elder brother patted the thirteenth elder brother on the shoulder and said: "If you need anything, you can write to me, or you can ask Tu Lishen to write. The caravan often In the past, just let them carry it, don't worry about inconvenience, and don't have to be polite to me!"

Brother Nine has nothing else, the most money.

Although he sent a large sum of money to the fourth elder brother before, he soon made a lot of money by doing business with the Russian mission.Even because of the Daigo wine, the business of the restaurant has improved.

Brother Jiu couldn't help but make a few jars at home with the prescription of Daigo wine, and he didn't plan to sell it, so he gave it to the distinguished guest who spent the most in the restaurant last year, as a bonus.

The shopkeeper delivered it to the house in person, and the Daigo wine was indeed a rare fine wine, and it was made at Brother Jiu's house, and it couldn't be bought with money, so everyone was happy.

As soon as other people heard it, they naturally went to the restaurant from time to time.

If you can get a jar of daigo wine at the end of the year and show it off to relatives and friends, it will be a matter of honor!

This made the already crowded restaurant even more crowded with guests. The shopkeeper laughed so hard that his cheeks ached from morning to night, but his hand was about to cramp when he collected money every day, and he was so happy.

Geng Yi had to say that Brother Jiu is really good at business, and the recipe for Daigo wine is rare and not easy to make. It is better to give it to the person who spends the most in the restaurant. This is the most generous guest, can the guest not be happy to accept it?

This rare Daigo wine is a year-end gift for VIP customers. The wine is still good, and the guests are even more happy.

Take out a little during the Chinese New Year and share it, especially in front of relatives and friends.

As long as you spend a little money, you will have such an honor. Who doesn't like it, spending money will be more enjoyable!

After all, in the capital city at the foot of the emperor, everyone has nothing but money!

Moreover, the price of the restaurant is reasonable, and the food is delicious. With this addition, more guests will go there.

So Brother Nine is rich now, and he will not be stingy with his brothers. With a wave of his hand, Brother Thirteen can just ask for whatever he wants!

Ninth Elder Brother also brought two other nuns to Thirteenth Elder Brother, and said to him: "Don't look at the young maids who serve you meticulously, the nuns are strong, even female reds are good, and it's better to send them in the cold weather over there." Useful."

Even if Jiao Didi's maids are meticulous in their work, brother Jiu is worried that he will not be able to bear them after they travel long distances. How can he have the strength to serve brother thirteen?

The two strong nuns are different, they are still from the north, and their children are arranged properly by Brother Nine, so they will naturally be loyal to Brother Thirteen, and they will not have so many flirts like young maids .

After the Thirteenth Brother thanked him, he received a box of leather bags from the Tenth Brother, all of which were high-quality and extremely thick: "On the way, let these two nuns make two sets of clothes for the Thirteenth Brother, don't feel It's ugly, but it's warm."

It seems that the elder brothers were worried that the thirteenth elder brother would get frostbite when he went there, so they kept giving away the leather.

Such a box of leathers is estimated to be the skins that Elder Brother Ten has hunted in the past few years, and he may have found someone to buy some to make up enough. It can be said that he emptied his inventory.

The thirteenth brother was grateful, so the fourteenth brother stuffed two daggers: "I heard that the people over there are very barbaric, and they will attack if they disagree with each other. The thirteenth brother is wearing this for self-defense. You can put one on your waist , one can fit in a boot."

Seeing the dusty and simple appearance of these two daggers, Brother Thirteen knew at a glance that they were good knives for cutting iron like mud, but they were extremely rare, so he quickly shied away and said: "Fourteenth brother, this is too expensive a little bit."

He suspected that it was Brother Fourteen's favorite, so he gave it to himself.

Elder Fourteen pushed back and said, "Brother Thirteen, don't be polite to me, I have many such daggers!"

Ninth elder brother directly pierced his words: "Thirteenth brother, this is fourteenth brother's homework well written, and Huang Ama gave him a reward. For that homework, fourteenth brother stayed up for two whole nights to write it. Come out, this gift is indeed profound and generous."

It is not an easy task for the fourteenth brother to do his homework, let alone write it so hard, and the writing is meaningful.

The emperor was quite surprised when he saw it, and the gentlemen were also full of praise.

After all, Brother Fourteen is pretty good if he can finish his homework on weekdays. He should really be praised for being able to write so well.

The emperor asked the fourteenth brother what reward he wanted, and the fourteenth brother asked for two good daggers, and gave them to the thirteenth brother for self-defense.

The thirteenth elder brother held the dagger and laughed: "Then I will borrow it from the fourteenth brother first, and return it later."

The fourteenth elder brother had no choice but to nod, and felt that the most important thing was that the thirteenth elder brother returned safely after completing the errands.

The third elder brother stepped forward and gave him a thick booklet.

Brother Thirteen opened it, and it turned out to be a Russian dictionary.

On the left is Russian, and on the right is Manchu, which is clear at a glance.

The third elder brother smiled and said: "I thought you would only rely on translation when you go there, so why not learn this on the way. I made this booklet with the students from the Russian school. I have proofread it repeatedly, and there will be no problems. .”

The Russian school also sent two students to go with Brother Thirteen, lest Brother Thirteen could not understand Russian, and his eyes would be blackened.

On the way, this student can tell Brother Thirteen about this Russian language, even if he can't learn it proficiently and knows some important vocabulary, he can barely guess it.

Even if these two students are carefully selected people, it is impossible to play tricks secretly, Brother Thirteen can't really just listen to the translation of the two, and be completely led by the nose.

The thirteenth elder brother smiled and thanked, then got into the carriage, waved to the brothers, and walked away.

After the fourth elder brother went back, he wrote big characters in the study for a long time, and when he came to Geng Yi's side, his expression was already very natural.

Geng Yi still found that the fourth elder brother was not in a very good mood, and he was a little puzzled.

It's not that there are so many things prepared for the thirteenth elder brother, so complete, the fourth elder brother should rest assured.

Or is it that the younger brother with the best relationship travels far away, so that the fourth elder brother can't let go of his heart?

Geng Yi couldn't ask directly, but Hongzhou just woke up, so she asked the nanny to bring the little elder brother over.

Seeing that the fourth elder brother was also familiar, Hong Zhou hummed twice, sat in Geng Yi's arms, and soon changed to a lying position.

Geng Yi was speechless, this child also knew how to make himself comfortable!

She took a closer look, Hong Zhou's posture is Ge You lying down, right?

This kid is so self-taught!

Geng Yi lifted Hong Zhou up and sat down, but he slipped down in a blink of an eye, so he had to lift him up again.

The fourth elder brother looked at it and said with a smile: "This child is not old, he can't sit still, take your time."

Geng Yi thinks about it too, the child will not be able to sit still until six or seven months old, and he is a little too impatient.

Fortunately, the fourth elder brother's attention was also drawn to Hong Zhou. He looked down for a while and asked, "Why do I feel that Hong Zhou is a little fatter?"

Geng Yi also smiled and said: "It's more than just a little bit, he has eaten more recently, he's so heavy, I almost couldn't pick him up."

When she saw Hong Zhou waking up from sleep that day, she looked so cute waving her little hands, she wanted to hug her when she stretched out her hands, and almost twisted her waist.

It was because Nanny Hu was vigilant and quickly took over Hong Zhou when she saw something was wrong, so that no tragedy happened.

Geng Yi touched his lower back, still feeling terrified.

But she thought about it, she used to be a female man who carried fifty catties of rice up to the eighth floor without panting, but when she got here, she changed her body and became much weaker.

Hongzhou seemed to understand that others said he was fat, so he moaned for a while in displeasure.

Geng Yi patted his little butt lightly. This kid is so young and courageous, he dares to swear at the fourth elder brother?

The fourth elder brother touched Hong Zhou's little head and said with a smile: "It's good to be fatter, it means that Hong Zhou can eat and sleep, and looks stronger."

It seemed that he felt that he had been praised, so Hong Zhou stopped humming and cursing.

Geng Yi touched Hongzhou's small face, and felt that although the child was lazy, he occasionally seemed like a human being, and seemed to understand everything, or maybe it was her illusion.

After the thirteenth elder brother set off, the fourth elder brother was free again. While continuing to toss about the porcelain kiln, he also spent more time with the children.

Maybe he often traveled on business before and didn't get along with Honghui, and missed the time when the children grew up. This time, he stayed in the mansion more to spend more time with the children.

Hiroshi already knew how to stand up slowly and take two steps while supporting things, and he liked this very much, he would get up from time to time.

Sometimes the things he was holding were unstable, and even the people around him were startled, so he removed all the shaking things around him.

The fourth elder brother simply let the children get acquainted, and Hongshi, Hongli and Hongzhou were hugged together.

There was an empty room, with no furniture in it, and a thick carpet underneath.

Although it is only early autumn, the earth dragon has already been opened early, and I am afraid that the children will catch cold sitting on the carpet.

With nothing to support him on, Hongshi could only stand up against the wall and walk a few steps, then sit down and rest for a while, then get up and walk again.

Hongli leaned on the nanny, staring at Hongshi walking intently, his little face was full of curiosity, as if he wished to follow along, his calf moved around.

Only Hong Zhou was half lying down, squinting his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

Geng Yi knew that the child was lazy, so he whispered to Niu Gulu next to him, "Hongzhou doesn't like to move, and I don't know if he will take the initiative to learn to walk when he is old."

Niu Gulu laughed and said: "Sister, Hong Zhou is still young, and he will definitely learn to walk when he can walk! Seeing that he has a good temper at such a young age, he is not as naughty as Hong Li, who brushed the nanny's hair I scratched it several times and it all came off, and it hurts just looking at it."

The nanny had several locks of hair ripped off, and even if there wasn't a lot, the accumulation would be horrific.

Even if she tied her hair tightly, Hongli could mess up the nanny's hair and then tear off a strand.

Niu Gulu also had lingering fears when he touched his hair, but fortunately Hongli was more polite to himself as a mother-in-law and didn't pull her hair desperately.

That is, when he was breastfeeding, his little hands felt uncomfortable if he didn't hold something, and the nurse's hair suffered.

Geng Yi suggested: "Why don't you put some small toys in Hongli's hands next time, so that you won't grab the nanny's hair?"

Niu Coluge nodded, planning to try it later.

Geng Yi thought of a musical instrument called a maraca that he had seen before. The bottom is a wooden handle, and the top is an oval dried gourd, which is filled with small stones, sand or small seeds, and it will make a rustling sound when shaken a little.

It's not heavy to hold, and it's not too loud when shaken. It can be held by a child's hand, and it won't hurt his ears if he gets close.

Otherwise, if the sound is too loud, it will not be good to affect the child's hearing.

If you want the sound to be quieter, you can put less stuff in it.

Niu Gulu Gege was very interested in this little toy when he heard it, and praised: "Sister knows so much, such a thing is actually a musical instrument, what should I do?"

Geng Yi only remembers that it was used more in South America, that is, for dance music with a strong ethnic style.

Who cares, anyway, this thing can be used by children now!

Geng Yi only needs to speak, and someone will prepare all the materials.

She instructed Madam Hu to help put the small seeds and sand in first, then glue the dried gourd to the handle, and then seal it with wax.

After the seal is completely dry, seal it with another layer, so that even if the maraca falls on the ground, the contents inside will not leak out and be damaged.

This is easy to do, just need to wait for it to dry after sealing the wax.

Hu Momo quickly finished one and started to make the second one.

Geng Yi took the first maraca and shook it lightly in his hand, the rustling sound was not loud, which was quite interesting.

Even Hongzhou seldom opened his eyes to look at the maraca, and stretched out his little hand to want it, so she put the maraca in Hongzhou's hand.

Geng Yi held Hong Zhou's little hand and shook it, and the maraca made a rustling sound.

Hongzhou was stunned for a moment, then shook again, quickly let go of his hand, and pushed the maraca into Geng Yi's hand.

Niu Gulu was puzzled: "Sister, Hong Zhou is not interested after playing for a while?"

Obviously this thing is very interesting, did you give up the wall when you didn't see Hiroshi, and just climbed over?

Hongli also looked over, humming and chirping to ask the nanny to hug him and take a closer look.

Geng Yi said helplessly: "It's not that he's not interested, he's tired from playing, let me shake him to listen."

Sure enough, she didn't move, Hongzhou pushed Geng Yi's hand twice, and hummed twice, indicating that it was time for her to move!

Niu Gulu looked amused, Geng Yi shook her hands perfunctorily twice and then stopped, and Hongzhou pushed her hand again.

Hongshi had crawled up to Geng Yi at this moment, stretched out his little hand and took the maraca over, sat down and shook his little hand, the rustling sound made him grin.

Now that someone did it for him, Hong Zhou didn't push Geng Yi, but watched Hong Shi play.

Hongli was also hugged by the nanny, and as soon as he stretched out his little hand, he wanted to snatch the maraca from Hongshi's hand.

But he is small and has even smaller hands, so he is not as flexible as the older Hongshi, so Hongshi avoided it all at once.

Hongli didn't grab it, so he stretched out his hand again. This time Hongshi was more vigilant and avoided it faster, and he didn't let him do what he wanted.

Seeing that he failed to snatch it twice, Hongli was about to cry.

It just so happened that Madam Hu made the second one, and Geng Yi quickly put it into Hongli's little hand after taking it.

Hongli looked down and saw that the toy he had been longing for suddenly got his hands, he stopped crying immediately, and laughed after shaking his little hand.

Niu Gulu Gege looked funny and said: "Crying and laughing for a while, you are really good at changing faces."

When the fourth elder brother came over, he saw something in the hands of the two younger elder brothers, and couldn't help but lean over to take a look: "What is this?"

Geng Yi explained: "Grandpa, this is a maraca. I let someone make a small toy. Seeing that some young brothers like things with sound, I just made this, and it won't be too loud."

Madam Hu has already made a third maraca, which was originally for Hong Zhou, but the child was too lazy to pick it up at all, so the fourth elder brother took advantage of the situation and took a look: "It's very interesting, it's hard for you think."

He shook it a little, and the maraca in his hand made a rustling sound.

Hongshi listened to it and shook it, and so did Hongli, so the whole room was filled with rustling sounds.

Just as the fourth elder brother stopped, Hong Zhou let out an "ah" and pushed the back of his hand with his little hand.

He was still surprised, so Geng Yi suppressed a smile and said: "Hongzhou is urging Master to shake it, so he can hear the sound without shaking it himself."

The fourth elder brother is helpless, this child is too lazy!

But he didn't move, and the other two little elder brothers kept shaking.

Hong Zhou was quickly attracted by the voice from the other side, and stopped urging the fourth elder brother.

Hongshi didn't even go to the wall to help him away after playing, and Hongli kept shaking, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

There was the rustling sound of Hong Shi shaking beside him, and Hong Li was still in a deep sleep, apparently really tired from playing.

Geng Yi asked Niu Gulu Gege to take the maracas back: "I'll ask Nanny Hu to make a few more and send them over. Paint some colors on them, make them brighter, and the children will like them more."

The few ones I made just now are relatively simple. I tried to make them first, and later I made them colorful, and then painted patterns to make them look better.

Niu Gulu grinned and thanked, and then left with the sleeping Hongli.

Hongshi still had a great time playing, and he took the maraca back with him without letting go.

When the nanny wanted to take the maraca out of his little hand, Hongshi would cry so loudly that he never dared to take it again.

Hong Zhou was also sleeping soundly on Geng Yi's lap, the fourth elder brother looked down and said in a low voice, "This child is very quiet."

He could see that although Hong Zhou was lazy, he was very smart, even before he could speak, he had already shown agility, and he didn't know if he would be as smart as Hong Hui when he grew up.

The fourth elder brother is quite looking forward to it, but he is worried that Hong Zhou is too lazy, will he be too lazy to learn anything when he grows up?

Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Geng Yi signaled the nanny to carefully carry Hong Zhou back to sleep, pinched the fourth elder brother's wrist, felt a little stiffness, and pressed a few times according to the acupuncture points.

The fourth elder brother felt a bit sore and sore at first, then a little sore and swollen, and then he felt a little more relaxed, and his complexion eased.

Geng Yi couldn't help asking: "Master has a lot of things to do recently, so I can't tire myself out."

It seems that the fourth elder brother must have written a lot of notes besides drawing the picture of the porcelain kiln, otherwise his wrist would not be so stiff.

Seen by Geng Yi, the fourth elder brother was not surprised, he shook his head and said, "Recently there have been more things."

Not long after the thirteenth elder brother set off, the leader of Junggar, Arab, led his troops to trespass into the western border. The western border sent people eight hundred miles to send an urgent letter overnight to ask for more troops to rescue.

The emperor was furious, and summoned his ministers overnight to discuss the matter, and sent reinforcements as soon as possible.

The courtiers have disputes over who leads the troops.

Someone suggested Eldest Brother, after all, Eldest Brother had led troops on expeditions before and was very experienced.

There are also ministers who feel that the elder brother is a little old now, maybe he hasn't led a soldier for a long time, and even practicing martial arts is not as diligent as before, and his martial arts skills have fallen behind, not as good as before.

Someone suggested to the third elder brother, thinking that he is excellent in riding and archery, and he is familiar with military books. Even if he has never led a soldier, he can try to lead an army in a battle.

Someone suggested the fourth elder brother. They only thought that he had a calm temperament, and his stability was the most important thing in using troops, so he was also suitable for leading troops.

Someone also suggested the fourteenth elder brother, because he has excellent martial arts skills and is the most talented among the several elder brothers. He has also been familiar with military books over the years, and he is also quite talented in military affairs.

Only some people think that Brother Fourteen is too young, and if he is too young and impulsive, it will be very bad for leading troops.

The matter was urgent, and the emperor didn't hesitate too much, and directly decided that the fourteenth elder brother would lead the army to go out.

Big brother was inevitably a little disappointed when he heard it, after all, such errands would fall on him in the past.

The third elder brother secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and it was okay to let him go to the Mulan paddock to ride, shoot and hunt. If he asked him to lead the troops, he would be blind in both eyes.

The fourteenth brother was so happy, with an eager look on his face, he quickly knelt down to thank him, wishing he could set off immediately and beat the Junggar tribe to pieces!

In addition to the lieutenant general Lao Li, the emperor also lit the Zhenglan flag and followed the fourteenth elder brother to set off together.

All the Zhenglan Banners are under the command of the expedition, and the affairs of the lower three banners need someone to take care of them.

Many ministers suggested that the eighth elder brother should take over the matter. First, he is very good at handling affairs, and second, he is at home now.

The fourth elder brother is different from the minister, he proposed to let the seventh elder brother take over Zhenglanqi's affairs.

Seventh elder brother has bad legs and feet, and rarely appears in front of people, but it doesn't mean he has no talent.

A few years ago, he had followed the emperor to lead troops into battle, and he was awarded the title of Baylor for his outstanding military exploits.A few years ago, he was named the King of Duoluochun County, and he only dealt with the affairs of the Three Banners.

The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Compared with the eighth elder brother, the seventh elder brother is indeed a more suitable candidate.

The captains of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Zhengbai Banner also followed suit. The emperor ordered the tenth elder brother to be in charge of the Zhenghuang Banner, and the twelfth elder brother took over the Zhengbai Banner.

The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War are also busy. They must raise food and grass, armor and weapons for the soldiers as soon as possible, count the number of soldiers and make a list.

The fourteenth elder brother also frequently entered the palace to discuss with the emperor the route of the expedition and the strategy of the battle. In addition, an endless stream of news also came to the palace from the west.

Junggar is approaching step by step, and they don't have much time to prepare, so they should start as soon as possible.

Concubine De was very worried when she learned that the fourteenth elder brother was going to fight.

The fourteenth elder brother took time to meet Concubine De in the harem, and only said a few comforting words: "Emiang, don't worry, my son will return triumphantly soon."

He didn't sleep much in the past few days, and he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, but he looked energetic.

After all, Brother Fourteen has been waiting for this day for too long, and finally realized his dream of becoming a general, how can he not be excited?

The emperor also named him the Great General of Fuyuan, rewarded him with 10 taels of silver, and later named him the King of the Great General, and went to war with the standard of the emperor himself. Such an honor, no one can compare with it among the brothers!

The fourteenth elder brother was constantly praised by the people around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little elated.

But when he saw the fourth elder brother, he slowly calmed down.

The same mother and brother are about to go to war, and the fourth brother said that he is not worried, which is false, but more proud.

He patted Elder Fourteen on the shoulder and said, "I'll just wait for the Fourteenth Brother to return in triumph and beat the Junggar tribe to pieces! But you should also pay attention to your own safety and watch out for the other party's cunning tricks."

Brother Fourteen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I will be careful."

Those who fawned on him before would talk about how glorious he would be after his triumphant return, how much the emperor would value him, Beizi's identity might advance, not to mention Baylor, he might even become the king of the county, and he would be more respected than other elder brothers. Pet and so on.

Elder Fourteen would shake his head modestly at first, but after listening to it a lot, he gradually got used to it, and even felt that it might be true in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Now he listened to the babbling of the fourth elder brother, without mentioning what would happen if he failed in the expedition, and what would happen if he succeeded, as long as the fourteenth elder brother came back safely, the rest seemed unimportant.

What the fourth elder brother saw was his younger brother, and his attitude hadn't changed in any way from before.

Maybe no matter what the fourteenth elder brother looks like, in the fourth elder brother's eyes, he is just a younger brother who needs to be taken care of.

What the fourth elder brother cares about is not how many achievements the fourteenth elder brother can get, or how prosperous he will be in the future, these extraneous things cannot be put together with his safety.

The fourteenth elder brother thought about the time when he had a disagreement with the fourth elder brother before, and felt that he was nagging, as if he felt that his younger brother could not do anything well and had no confidence in himself.

So every time I listened to it, Elder Fourteen was full of impatience and a little aggrieved in his heart.

After getting acquainted now, the fourteenth elder brother understands that the fourth elder brother is a caring person.

The more he babbles, the more he cares and values ​​each other.

If the fourth elder brother doesn't like someone, he will have a cold face and don't even bother to say a word.

After the fourth elder brother finished speaking, seeing the fourteenth elder brother smiling foolishly, he became more and more worried: "Fourteenth brother, did you listen to what you just said?"

"Listen, fourth brother is too worried." Fourteenth elder brother smiled, and said again: "Lao Li is with you, fourth brother, you can just rest assured."

To be honest, Brother Si wished there were more people like Lao Li.

One old Li can't be persuaded, ten or eight old Lis are here, and they can restrain the fourteenth elder brother no matter what.

It's a pity that there is only one Lao Li, and Lao Li expressed his heartache, so he can only follow the order of the fourteenth elder brother to go out.

Before the Fourteenth Argo set off on the westward expedition, the emperor personally held a grand farewell ceremony for him, and ordered the cooperation of all Mongolian ministries.

The implication is that the order given by the fourteenth elder brother is the emperor's meaning, so that the Mongolian ministries cannot violate it in any way.

The emperor gave the fourteenth elder brother great power, and he could even order the soldiers of various Mongolian tribes.

The eighth elder brother was horrified when he heard it, and felt that the fourteenth elder brother's status in the emperor's heart was obviously not low, so he suddenly thought about it.
