After making arrangements for the expedition, when Zhu Youcong dragged his tired body back to the palace, he found that there was already a quarrel at home. The two mothers were crying, saying that they were reluctant to let their precious sons go to the battlefield, while Prince Fu was kind to him.
persuade.
"That's enough, how can you behave like this?" Seeing that he still couldn't convince his wife, King Fu also got angry. "I think that my Taizu destroyed the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and restored our Han people; Chengzu fought in the south and north, killing the Tatars and escaping far away.
Qianli. When my father was still alive, he never forgot to launch the three major campaigns of Wanli. What was the purpose? Now that I finally have a general like Cong'er in my lineage, you should be happy!"
"But..." It was a battlefield after all. They say that swords and guns have no eyesight. What would happen if this precious son of hers was really injured? Princess Yao secretly complained that her husband was too ruthless.
"Have you forgotten how the two emperors treated my son so kindly? The position of the general who governs the country is now reserved for him alone!" King Fu comforted him: "Besides, look at my son's army.
, Who else in the world dares to challenge me?"
"Two mothers!" Zhu Yousong and the other two people who were rushing back also helped King Fu and persuaded: "Our Cong brother has never suffered from others since he was a child? He is protected by the gods. Those little Tatars
Don’t even think you can hurt him. Besides, he has been determined to fight for the Ming Dynasty since he was a child. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, he can’t stand by and watch indifferently. Just let him go!"
"Are you really going to leave?" Zhang Yan did not enter the hall, but waited for Zhu Youcong's return in the courtyard. She once imagined that her husband would one day command an army to spread thousands of miles to realize his inner ambition.
, to establish the Ming Dynasty in her dream. She was proud to have such a husband, but when the day came and he was really going to go to war, she felt waves of heart-wrenching pain.
"Yes, we will set off tomorrow morning!" Zhu Youcong could not comfort his fiancée who loved him deeply and was willing to abandon everything for him, but he had to do this.
"Then I'll go pack your bags right now!" Zhang Yan knew that she couldn't stop him, because this was his ideal and his mission. I can't shed tears now, and I can't let him feel the slightest worry; I will always silently
He prayed until he returned safely!
"Brother Cong, you must take good care of yourself and come back victorious!" Her sister had just said not to cry. Ning Meng endured the reluctance and took off a jade Buddha from her neck. "This is from Qingxin Temple.
The abbot put it on me when I was young. Now that I have given it to you, you must remember to agree to my conditions!"
"Well, I will definitely come back safely!" Zhu Youcong hugged the two girls and whispered in their ears: "The day I triumph will be the time when we get married!"
"Brother Cong, brother Cong!" Zhu Qiji always appears at the right time. As he shouted loudly, the two women squirmed, trying to escape from Zhu Youcong's arms, but their two beautiful hands were held tightly.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to disturb you!" Zhu Qiji apologized and took out a sword and handed it over. "I don't have anything to give you as a brother, so I will give you this sword as a decoration!"
"Sword of the Emperor?" Zhang Yan had seen this sword, but she didn't expect that Zhu Qiji would take it out and give it away.
"What is the Emperor's Sword?" Shouldn't this thing only appear in legends?
"This sword was the sword of Emperor Taizu back then. It was made of meteorite iron. It has been kept in the palace and kept by successive emperors!" Of course, no one else has seen such a high-end product, so Zhu Qiji kindly made it.
Explanation. "It is said that this sword can kill demons and eliminate demons. It cannot be worn by anyone who is not the proud son of heaven. I will give it to you now as a brother! I also entrust the Ming Dynasty to you!"….
There are endless farewells and cares in the palace, and there is no peace outside the palace.
Luoyang Academy is very busy now. Although the young prince has issued a strict order forbidding students to go out with the army, the book given by the prince says that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! We can't write and join the army, but we still have to give full play to our strengths, so we wrote one after another with gorgeous rhetoric.
Zhuangxing poetry, a collection of stern and sharp statements came into being.
This afternoon, people from the yamen came to each village and told everyone that the Liaodong Tatars had invaded the pass and were now approaching Beijing. The young prince would personally lead the Luoyang army to meet the enemy. As soon as the news came out, the people were in an uproar. You son of a bitch.
The Tatars have not had enough trouble outside the customs, and now they want to destroy the happy life we have finally built. I will not agree to anything!
Our descendants are right, there is no home without a country! Although the Tatars are still thousands of miles away from us now, if the Tatars really take away this world, where can we escape? How can we escape?
Just like those people from Liaodong said, we become slaves of the Tatars and don’t even have the right to speak? Go ahead, we must fight the Tatars and fight them back! We can’t be soldiers or go to the battlefield, but
Our family has food and money, and in the past few years, we have our own big fat pigs in the cooperative. We take them out and give the children a good meal, so that they can set off in high spirits and teach those Tatars a lesson for us.
son.
After the officials left, the common people also started to get busy. The heads of each family counted their own grain stores, put all the food that was temporarily unused into large sacks, and pulled the cart to the palace. Even after saving money in the past few years to buy
The donkeys that came also hurried onto the road. Whether the prince wants it or not is one thing, but we people know what to do, and this is all our wish! The ones who stayed are not idle either, killing pigs and sheep in the village
A banquet was placed in the middle, waiting for the young soldiers to come back so that they could have a good start!
"Grandpa, look, it's my brother and the others who are back!" As it was getting dark, Erdan, who had been waiting with his grandfather at the entrance of the village since he came back from the academy, finally saw that familiar figure appearing in the distance.
"Folks, open the wine jars and bring the dishes!" Seeing the hundreds of people walking in neat steps getting closer and closer, Mr. Wu, as the village chief, did not greet them, but greeted everyone to prepare for the banquet.
"Grandpa..." Seeing their relatives at the entrance of the village, Zunzi and the others also quickened their pace.
"Stop saying anything! Let's drink first!" Mr. Wu led the proud people of the village to the first few tables, "Today is for you, and these first few tables are all yours!"
"This..." In the past, the closer the seat was to the front, the higher the seniority. People like myself were considered juniors in the village, so how could they sit in the front.
"I told you to sit down, why are you dawdling!" Mr. Wu forced his eldest grandson to sit on the seat, and forced the other young people to sit down as well.
"Everyone, get up, let us old man serve these young people a bowl!" Under the leadership of Mr. Wu, the whole village stood up and held the bowl in both hands. Both men and women drank the spicy sweet potato wine in one go.
All.
"Snapped!"
After finishing the wine, Mr. Wu suddenly threw the bowl on the ground and said: "If you drink this wine today, tomorrow when you step out of the village, you will no longer be ordinary people in our Wujia Village. In the words of your general
We are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. If you go to the battlefield and still miss your family and don't fight to the death, don't come back. We can't afford to lose that person!"
"Zhengzi!" The old man surnamed Tang who was standing behind came out with a group of people. He suddenly knelt down and said, "Today, Uncle Tang and everyone are asking you for something. You must agree!"
"Second uncle, get up, what are you doing?" Leftover hurriedly left his seat with his brothers to help the fellow villagers who were kneeling. "Just tell me what you want!"….
The old man surnamed Tang pointed to the dozens of people behind him and said: "We are incompetent. We don't even have a soldier in our family. But we still have to shamelessly beg you. After Zhangwu is captured, we must light incense sticks outside the city for us!" He choked with sobs.
He continued: "In order to attack the city, the Tatars tied up more than 2,400 people in Tangjiazhuang under the city and asked us to persuade the defenders to surrender. When everyone refused, they shot them all alive! Your second uncle
These dozens of people all crawled out from the pile of dead people before escaping here!"
"Yes! I agree to this! Even if I can't go, my brothers will fulfill your wish for you!" Wu Shengzi didn't know if the special first battalion he belonged to had the chance to attack Zhangwu, but he still clicked fiercely
He nodded and agreed.
The banquet in Wujiacun continued, and the people recounted the tragic experiences of that year, asking the descendants to never forget revenge; while in Gaojiacun, dozens of miles away, a mass wedding was going on.
"Goudan, my second girl will be yours from now on, you have to treat her well." Uncle Qu happily took Goudan's hand and warned her.
"What the hell, the eldest son of our family is famous, Gao Pinglu!" Goudan's father is really upset. This guy named Qu, don't think that he can call you son-in-law just because he's married to me!
"That's right, our civilians are already soldiers!" Mr. Gao was very happy. Back then, he would force his son and daughter-in-law to go back to the house to create a baby as soon as it got dark. Finally, the emperor paid off and it took him less than a year.
So he added a big fat boy to the family, so that his eldest grandson could catch up with the draft in the second year.
"Yes, Pinglu! You have to work hard on this expedition and don't embarrass your Gao family and my Qu family." Uncle Qu also felt that his son-in-law's current name sounded much better than that bitch.
"Look at what you said, my Pinglu is a well-known man. When has he ever done something embarrassing?" The fool is very satisfied with his wife, but her father... Humph, he was with me last year.
They are competing to rent land!
"Ms. sir, you don't have to worry about your family when you go here. I will fulfill my filial piety for you!" Erniu, wearing a red hijab, held her sweetheart's hand, full of joy.
"Well, everything is entrusted to you!" Gao Pinglu originally planned to secretly ask Erniu out after he came back to meet his family and have a chat. But he didn't expect that the elders in the village unanimously decided that in order to support the younger generations,
In order to prevent them from having any worries, we decided to consummate their marriages today as long as they were engaged. Let them know that when they leave the village, their families are behind them; they must fight bravely on the battlefield and cannot let their families get away from them.
The hard-earned happiness was destroyed like this.
The night is clear and cloudless, with stars dotted all over the place. It is destined that no one in Luoyang will sleep tonight.
