Suddenly, there was a roar like a thunderstorm, and the dock suddenly became quiet.
Among the sergeants who came off the ship, a general wearing iron armor and wearing animal head shoulder pads strode towards him. He cursed with a ferocious face, "Damn you, take your claws away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the general had already arrived in front of the man in his fifties and raised his leg to give him a kick.
With a bang, the plainclothes guard who was pulling the man in his fifties was kicked to the ground.
If you dare to pull my commander, I will chop you up! The general will curse and draw his knife.
stop!
In an instant, the man in his fifties seemed to have changed his identity. Although he was still wearing coarse clothes when he stood there, between his eyebrows, he had an aura as if he were the commander-in-chief of a hundred battles, which made people dare not look directly at him.
Do you recognize a certain house? the man asked.
The general bends down and clasps his fists, commanding the Feixiong Battalion. General Zhang Tianbao, see the general! In the 21st year of Hongwu, a certain general followed the general out to the fortress, and his military merit was promoted to the battalion commander. In the 25th year of Hongwu, the last general followed the general to a distant place.
Northwest, return to Beijing and be promoted to a registered general!
Oh, it's you boy!
This man in his fifties was no one else. He was demoted to civilian status and was guarded by the local government in his hometown in Huaiyuan. He could only farm the land. He was the former prince's Taibao, the chief military officer of the Beijing Camp, and Duke Lan Yu of Liang Kingdom.
He was at home, almost isolated from the outside world. He didn't know any official reports from the imperial court or any major events in the world. Today, his son bribed an official official so that he could go for a walk by the river. Unexpectedly, he saw the imperial fleet heading north.
A certain person is no longer a general! Lan Yu said with a bitter smile.
In the heart of the general, you are the great general! Zhang Tianbao said loudly.
How many troops should we send? Lan Yu asked, how many cavalry and infantry? How many artillery pieces are brought?
There are 11,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, 15,000 gunners, crossbows and firearms, and... At that moment, Zhang Tianbao did not shy away and said, "We have found out that there are four enemies in the front army."
Wanwu, one of the thief chiefs is Ugeqi and the other is Mahamu!
Humph, he is defeated! Lan Yu said disdainfully, then Wu Geqi didn’t chop off his head that day, how dare he come here!
At this moment, many officers and soldiers rushed over from a distance, and the leading man shouted, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhang Tianbao said angrily, "What are you calling? Lan Shuai is here, come over and kowtow!"
Marshal Lan? The person over there hesitated, and then asked tremblingly, but Marshal Lan!
Damn your mother-in-law, we have a lot of handsome men in Ming Dynasty! Zhang Tianbao cursed.
Afterwards, dozens of people swarmed in and surrounded Lan Yu to say hello loudly.
The people in front of her were all former subordinates. Although she couldn't name them, Lan Yu was moved to tears by their true feelings.
On the river, Li Jinglong frowned as he looked at the dock and cursed. He had just finished saying that the military appearance must be neat and solemn, but why was it in such a mess as soon as he arrived on the shore? Go and see if the move is complete, and if it is finished, sneak back those killers!
~~~
Marshal! Why are you here, old man?
Marshal! Little Ergouzi, do you still recognize me?
Commander! I was hit by an arrow last time, and you rewarded me with a big silver coin?
The soldiers surrounding Lan Yu were all chattering, and Lan Yu kept lowering her head and rubbing the corners of her eyes.
Okay! Suddenly, Lan Yu turned from joy to anger and kept a straight face. You are all soldiers of the imperial court and have important responsibilities. Why are you surrounding this old man? Move the baggage quickly and get back to the ship. Don't delay the march! Saying,
His eyes swept over the faces of all the sergeants, their hands were clasped in their fists, and their voices were like blades. Sons and gentlemen, Yu, I wish I could fight side by side with you.
God bless the Ming Dynasty and may our army prosper!
All the sergeants clasped their fists together and saluted, shouting, God bless the Ming Dynasty, our army will be victorious!
Then, these sergeants saluted Lan Yu one by one and turned around to return it.
There was silence on the pier, and everyone was stunned. Lan Yu smiled proudly, turned around and walked back.
When he passed by the soldier who was scolding him, he squinted and said with a smile, "You are so brave, you dare to scold me, you are so brave! Hmph!"
The soldier took a few steps back in fear and almost fell down.
Damn it! Lan Yu laughed and cursed again, how brave is this? Haha, from now on, don’t scare the people with those iron pieces! If you have the ability, go to the border!
After saying that, he walked with his head high and sang a cappella. That year, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses came out of Yumen and marched north. The whole army was high-spirited......
~~~
On the warship, Li Jinglong looked at Zhang Tianbao and others with a cold face.
Just now, what did the general say? When we got to the shore, what was the fuss about?
Zhang Tianbao cupped his fists and said loudly, Mr.
Call the general! Li Jinglong yelled angrily.
General, the general is on the shore. We saw the general on the shore!
Who? That general!
Duke Liang, Commander Lan! Zhang Tianbao said loudly, and shouted to the soldiers on the boat, brothers of Feixiong Camp, I just saw Commander Lan on the shore!
With a crash, countless soldiers rushed out of the cabin and lay on the side of the ship.
Handsome!
The space between the sky and the water is full of heroes calling.
On the shore, Lan Yu, who was walking forward with hands behind her back, was shaken, and she shed two lines of heroic tears unconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, the world between heaven and earth was filled with the heroic and tragic singing of men.
That year, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses came out of Yumen and marched northward, and the soldiers of the three armies were so proud together!
Wolf smoke billows across the sky and the earth, and heavy snow falls on bows and swords.
The Qiang flute does not sound like willows, but the war drums still urge the men and horses to howl. Under the moon, the fighting is like running water, and the sunset dyes the shirts red.
On the shore, Lan Yu was already crying.
He sang silently in his mouth, "Who's to say, the general looked at the mirror with gray hair. How many times, in his dream, he still heard the flute from the border."
Famous generals in the world are like beautiful women, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world.
But among the famous generals in the world, how many people in the past and present have been able to live a long life safely?
But compared with dying a generous and heroic death and fulfilling his life and death, who would care less about dying peacefully?
The mountains and rivers, the flags are getting farther and farther away, and the voices are so small that they cannot be heard.
Lan Yu's gaze has been chasing the disappearing fleet, still refusing to take it back. He, Lan Yu, would rather die in battle than live like this. But now, he can only live like this.
Dad, go back! Lan Chun said from behind.
Well! Lan Yu is still looking into the distance, go back, go back!

In the capital, after the army left the capital, the eyes of the people in the capital were suddenly attracted by another storm.
Monk Daoran, the abbot of Qixia Temple, wrote to the Emperor. Now that the world is at peace, some Buddhist monks are morally corrupt and do not practice Buddhist virtues. They are monks in public, but secretly engage in male thieves and female prostitutes.
Many temples are illegal, occupying people's fertile land for their own use, hiding their population, and evading taxes.
Unexpectedly, this book contains more than a dozen large temples around the capital, and dozens of named abbots and abbots.
After a thorough investigation by the imperial court, the deeds of countless Huahua monks were revealed to the world.
Everyone in the capital was furious. Not to mention the emperor and the crown prince, the people in the capital were extremely angry when they saw the monk.
The incense money that I paid to pay filial piety to the Buddha has been stolen by you bald donkeys!
It doesn’t matter if you are cheating, but with the incense money we give you, you are living better than us! You can’t even compare to the gods!
There are also official notices about illegal temples issuing usury, occupying fields, forcing farmers to work as tenants, etc.
As a result, due to public outrage, the imperial court began to inventory the properties of various temples. Not only the capital, but also monks and officials from Suzhou and Hangzhou wrote letters.
He said that the privileges of monks and officials were not conducive to monks practicing Buddhism and the world, so he wrote to ask for exemption. He also asked the court to verify the number of monks, grant them self-sufficient land as appropriate, and pay taxes together.
It seemed that the monks in Jiangnan were frightened by the actions of the capital. But behind the scenes, it was Zhang Shan, the prefect of Hangzhou, who beheaded dozens of flower monks.
The amount of temple properties in Suzhou and Hangzhou is even more shocking. Not only do they have temple properties, but the monks also set up commercial facades and collect rent from the land.
The memorial from Hangzhou Prefecture was sent to the capital, causing an uproar in both the government and the public.
According to the imperial edict, Zhang Shan from Hangzhou Prefecture came to Beijing to have an audience.
