Scholar Meets Soldier
Chapter 186:Scholar Meets Soldier
After the meal, the army uprooted the camp, the mule horse wheel on the official road will be trampled on the mud of the snow road, the team speed is much slower, not often catch up with a team, only to see officers and soldiers holding a continuous mule horse convoy, is struggling to trek on the road.
Proving the horse to Yang Ling, this is to Datong transport grain, forage convoy, the south of the north of the grain and tethering equipment often on this road, the car and horse are endless, the original smooth and strong rammed earth road has been seriously damaged, and then through the snow pressure, rugged and dented, slippery.
Seeing the full armour and strict assembly of the army passing by, the heavy team consciously moved to the roadside, and Yang Ling's army closed the formation and slowly passed from the side.
Emperor Zhengde lightly clamped the horse's back, his body gently undulating, and his eyes slowly swept through the flow of people in the fleet.The convoy was crowded on one side, and the people were ragged, some repairing the road, and some shoulder-to-shouldered, pushing the wheels trapped in the ice pit.
The driver of the car is conscripted, but these bridges to make up the road, shoulder-carcers pick out the strong of the hard-working people, but they are some of the people who voluntarily transport the grain and grass, the yaku, the village husband.No food and clothing, bunkers are poor, nothing to do in winter, with the strength of the people, come out to find some work can fill the stomach for the family to reduce the burden, but also how much to earn a few large money.
Looking at the poor people with vegetables, Zhengde's face smiled lightly disappeared, the army crossed the heavy convoy and continued to speed up the journey forward, and Zhengde kept looking back at the slow north-bound dragon.
The army stayed overnight in Changping, Changping County ordered did not know that the current emperor was in the army, but the two major signs of the inner factory ward and the Beijing camp admiral alone were enough to make him busy before and after he was busy.
Yang Ling's army relied on the post office in the small county town to stay down, the staff in the museum, the cooks were all driven out, replaced by Zhang Yong brought people, Changping County only in front of the two emperors hot Admiral has too official spectrum.There was no doubt, rushed to send a dozen big fat pigs, saw the two adults did not have any enthusiasm to talk to him, and said goodbye to the fun.
Yang Ling arranged the night guard and tomorrow's itinerary in the temporary order of the army in the local army, and the two pro-army soldiers came in with a young man dressed in costume, the man was inconspicuous, but the manner of his attitude was majestic, Yang Ling saw him happy to laugh: "Liu Biao."Come, sit down, what’s the news?”
Yang Ling sent Yang Yiqing to follow the south of the rhyme, collecting the handles of the officials supported by the coastal gentry who had sent people to investigate the early days, and transferred the three heads of the inner factory, Peng Jizu, to lead the five thousand elite soldiers, Liu Biao was responsible for the command and coordination of the road along the way, and Wu Hanchao rushed to Xuanfu and Datong in advance to contact Hanlin, who had taken root there.Covered in secret.
Liu Biao gave a military salute, sat in a chair on the side, Yang Ling smiled and gave him a cup of tea, Liu Biao owed thanks, and glanced at the alert.A few guards around me deliberately retreated, and Liu Biao said in a low voice: "Adult, Beijing's horse has come, the adult wants us to pay attention to the two girls who are not moving."The two have been sent to the leopard room, it seems that the safety is very, and the inferior work is continuing to monitor.
In addition, the news of the front of the horse, Gu Yongguan, Xuanfu all the way is very peaceful, the wounded soldiers were taken away, sent to Datong's heavy, the convoy was endless, and the soldiers and the people were mixed.In such a case, in order to prevent the Tatar agents, there are relevant cards along the way, there is no pass order and road guide issued by the army, more than five people are not allowed to pass, is that there will never be a large team of horses along the way, if there are really hundreds of green forests will want to commit murder in the 5,000 army, discipline him has no return.
Yang Ling nodded his head.Slightly put down my heart.He staggered in the account and said, “Wu Hanchao is one day earlier than me.”There is no news coming at present, there is no danger along the way, stay in the Xuanfu, Datong, where the heavy soldiers gathered, it is safer, Liu Biao, you go down to eat first, this road must give me the spirit of twelve points, now not more than the past, if the emperor is less than the past, if the emperor is less than the hair, you and I have lost my head in danger."
Liu Biao stood up and said, “You know, adults, although you are at ease, the vile job has resigned!”
Yang Ling nodded, Liu Biao turned to go out, a close soldier came in and reported: "Adult, the emperor's diet has been prepared," Yang Ling said: "Well, go to see the emperor first."
The emperor in the palace has a special waiting for the royal dining room, although Zhang Yong around the small eunuch wait, but to take the royal kitchen out of Beijing can not be, Yang Ling painstakingly, found a doctor resigned in the palace because of the old man resigned the palace of the royal dining room, also did not explain to him, only said that the way to make their own diet, made a few loyal and reliable guards accompanied, all the way to the emperor's diet.
At noon on the road is the wise woman is also difficult to cook without rice, Zhengde Emperor is also hastily eat some simple rice and tea, this is the first meal.Yang Ling came to the backyard Zhengdedi residence, the remaining inside guard all recognized the Yang, a guard military attaché rushed to meet up: "Mr. Yang."
Yang Ling micro-hitter head, asked: "The emperor went out of Beijing for the first time, this road is lacking, isn't it?"Have you ever stopped?”
The military attaché was also an ordinary lieutenant-counronier dressed up, and replied with a smile: "Adults can guess wrong, the emperor's high interest is very high, just after washing, he took the Admiral out."
Yang Ling was startled, his face slightly discolored: "At this moment, the sky is dark, the night is cold, where did the emperor go?"
The military attaché explained: "Adults do not have to worry, the emperor just went to the camp to visit the soldiers, not far away."
Yang Ling was relieved, and hurriedly turned around and walked outside: “I will see, you rest.”
Yang Ling hurried out of the post office, the small town of the post office is located in the east of the city, the outer courtyard was originally a back and forth caravan to stay in the place, around the wall built up nearly a thousand officers and soldiers, the rest stationed outside the door, at this time the bonfire everywhere, the air filled with a smell of meat.
Yang Ling looked around, saw a lot of people walking around the right bonfire, so he hurried over, sitting around the fire, the fire racked a large rice pot, slaughtered more than a dozen fat pigs have been put down the pot.The big pieces of meat rolled over in the soup pot, and the soldiers laughed and talked, chewing the bread, gnawing the bones, and eating the positive incense.
Yang Ling was still a general attire, those soldiers saw the voice suddenly light, have stood up, Yang Ling just bypassed two piles of bonfires, slanted a flash of a shadow.He grabbed him and whispered, “Mr. Yang, where are you going?”
Yang Ling fixed his eyes, the fire flashed the silver on the man, a cluster of new silver python official robes, jasper buckle belt, but also a bit of prestige, it is the Beijing camp Admiral Zhang Yong.
Yang Ling was happy in his heart, and he quickly grabbed him and asked, “Where is the person?”
He is outside.Although there are no outsiders nearby, the wind sends people's language, fearing to be heard, so they dare not directly say the word emperor.He looked around and took a few steps away.Avoiding the darkness forward, he whispered, “Well, there, don’t let us follow.”We see that he is having fun, and he only walks around, and dare not go near.”
Yang Ling looked at the spot, only to see the fire raging, reflecting a young and angular face, Emperor Zhengde was sitting on the floor with the soldiers in a school captain's shirt, side by side, with a wooden stick inserted cold steamed bread roasted on the fire.A large bone stick in his hand took a bite from time to time, and the conversation was happy.
A stubble-faced veteran hit his shoulder with a big grin, pressed Zhengde's shoulder to sink, the man laughed loudly: "Boy, the factory inspector this time out, our brother was selected from the twelve battalion of 100,000 troops, one pulled away the bow, got the horse."The knife will be raised.Three or five strong men can't get close, look at your little fellow's fine skinned meat.What did you do?“What is the opponent of the Tatar?”
Zheng De was not angry, smiled and said: "Big brother Mo Xiao looked at me, I have not been on the battlefield, before, and a bastard who does not understand martial arts in the green building fight, but also by his head and a fist, almost did not crook his nose, but that was not seen, embarrassed."To really speak of martial arts, I have several boxers and masters who have taught them by hand, I am afraid you may not be my opponent.”
"O yo, the boy can play well," a lazy-looking, stingy soldier smiled: "Originally you are a handsome soldier, but you think you are a rich son, run out of the name of the place, but you do not point the appearance of everyone's young master, you know the use of some flower fist embroidery legs?"On the battlefield, it is the real knife and real gun, and you handsome little brother, don't want to carry the Tartar to be a rabbit."
Zheng De retracted the buns that were baked with a cyst of the skin, tore it down to suck the soso into his mouth, chewed with interest, and asked curiously: "Rabbit father?"“What rabbit?”
The soldiers next to the fire laughed loudly, the beard next to him patted his shoulder, and laughed and said, "Look at what you don't know about the world, I don't know what it is to be mixed with Yang Da Shuai's side, the people on the other side of the tirritator are very tall, the tiger's back is bear waist, even if the woman looks better than the man, like your handsome little brother, if they are carried out, if they are carried away, if they are carried away, they don't have to be a slave, hahaha, they don't have to worry about being a slave, hahahahaha, if they are carried away, they don't have to be a slave, hahahahahaha, they don't have to worry about being a slave, if they are carried away, they don't have to be a slave, hahahahahaha, they don't have to be a slave, if they are carried away, they don't have to be a slave, hahaha, they don't have to be like a slave, haha, they don'. . .
Zhang Yong heard the words angry, his eyebrows were writhed, the killing was about to rush over, Yang Ling grabbed him and drank low: "Slightly restless, I don't know, the emperor is not angry, what are you angry about?"
Zhang Yongding looked at him, only to see Zhengde seems to be a little embarrassed, the soldier said so he naturally knows that the so-called rabbit is a child, but Zheng De is not angry, the first time in his life someone and his so vulgar talk, novelty is very fun.
Zheng De did not think so with his disapproval: "The Tatar carried my women and children, and I... I often heard the merchants from the north mentioned it in the town, but they seemed to plunder more grain and grass, and robbed many people?"
A few soldiers smiled, and after a while, a 30-year-old, red-faced, long-winded sighed, “That’s natural, and over the years, the tirsopted against the Propaganda House, the same, and attacked the gyndom, and I don’t know how many people were taken.”
A long-looking Sven earth officer patted his thighs and hated: "The son of a bitch, the people are afraid of the Tatar plundering, and those who can escape have fled into the Central Plains, and those who have lived on the ancestral fields for generations have no place to escape, and they can only be allowed to bully them, as long as they are old and adult men, they have been killed by them."The young man and the woman were taken captive as slaves and wives, and helped them to graze, milk, sew and make wine, and bundled with camels.
Hey, there are few Tatars, a family grazing, only this family in dozens of miles there is no other smoke, the most Han people in the Jiqi tribe of the river.A family of only four or five, but there were six or seven Han slaves.”
The red-faced soldier smiled and relieved: "Old paragraph, think of sad things again?"Hasn’t the system already won a big battle?The barbarous man, the deputy named Wang Shounen poisoned three thousand Tatars in World War I, and the family of these Tatars was left with only some old and weak women and children, and turned back into the slaves of other people's local tribes, which called retribution!"
Zheng De looked at some of the Svendi veterans and said, “Segment...big brother.”Has your house been ruined by a Tatar?”
The old soldier was hey, silent, and the beard next to him whispered with Zhengde's ear: "The old section is the same to help the Marburg people, the brothers and sisters of the whole family of sixty-five people, only five of them were killed by the Tarta."Take the grassland to be a slave, grazing and farming.
After two years, the tribe and another tribe were on fire, and several relatives of the war were stropered to death by horses, and he was loaded and put to death.Then he fled back to the gate, because his equestrian is very good, so he entered the god's machine camp, especially for equestrian learning."
The heart of Zhengde listened to the anger, and when he heard the cultivation, he was surprised, and he could not help but ask, “The talls also cultivate?”What are they farming?”
The beard said, “When the Yuan ruled the Central Plains, it was more than a hundred years old, and I did not learn to cultivate the fields.”I did not want to cultivate the fields, but when they were driven back to the desert, no one was provided with white face, but they wanted to learn to cultivate.
Now the Mongolians are mainly grazing, but also in some places to cultivate food, but the Mongolian people do not understand farming, these work are carried out by the Han people to carry out the land, the manpower is not enough.Tartars sometimes come to the border to recruit the exiles.”
The Mongols were also beginning to learn how to cultivate the Han Chinese.This news is not known.Outside the old secret agent, he only paid attention to military and political intelligence.Even if you see the Mongolians opening up a small piece of farmland, no one cares, Zhengde listened to the heart seems to flash, and then want to think about it, but like a dream, can no longer remember a trace.
The beard pulled a knife from the belt from the boiling pot to tie a piece of juice to the meat, sprayed a bite, the face said: "Don't be discouraged, come, eat meat, save enough strength, wait until Datong, if the Tarot has not been run away by the Yang General, may not be our brother can show a face!"
Zhengde also has a sample, drawn a knife from the waist to pull out a piece of meat, Lang laughed: "It is said that we have saved enough strength, one day we will take back the turf, burning tea and water are suspected of their thick hands and feet, in exchange for them to do some rough work for us."
Yang Ling smiled slightly and whispered to Zhang Yong: "Zhang Gong, this one came out less than a day, do you see if anything has changed?"
Zhang Yongwen carefully looked at Zhengde and nodded: "Well, no, how to wear that thick cloth, how to look awkward, and ... look at that sitting and eating, alas, our family usually the most annoying of those old adults to the emperor ... he pointed fingers and feet, let him so let him like that, but now even our family looks at it."
Yang Ling looked around, saw the domestic guards dressed as ordinary sergeants, if leisurely four downstream, Zhengde was afraid of not having 40 big insiders to protect, surrounded by their own personal selection of reliable soldiers, he put down his heart, he patted his shoulder, smiled: "I think he now has a little more manly, but also more sensible."
Zhang Yongsheng sent Yang Ling Shiran away, looked back and looked at Zhengde carefully, and said doubtfully: "Or so, he was not masculine, he did not understand anything?"
The next morning, the army set out and went to the mediocre.
Today is a cloudy day, the wind gusts, scraping the ground of the snow particles, flapping cold, Yang Ling wrapped in Gutao also feel some cold, the ring under the robe of the ring locks exposed a corner, pick the sheepskin gloves.The hot hand will stand.
When he saw that Zhengde was still with a group of guards, wearing ordinary school captain's clothes, he squinted slightly on the cold wind, and then went forward and persuaded: "Emperor, anyway, you have to enter the car... Rest, although the emperor's body is strong, after all, he has not been able to pinch such cold, if he is cold, it is wrong...
The wind in the wilderness was in a hurry.The front will enter a mountain pass, the wind will blow out from the mountain mouth, the snow will blow, and a mouth will be poured into the mouth, so that Yang Ling said two words to stop.
Zheng De stubbornly said: "No, five thousand men can withstand this cold, the northern people years old to suffer from this cold, I can't even hold it for a few days?"He raised his hand to cover his face.Turning to Yang Ling, he smiled and said, "Moreover, this snow is both itch and itchy, this feeling has never been felt before, it is difficult to come out, I must rest experience."
Yang Lin couldn’t hear the crying.Just waiting to be re-exported to persuade, a fast horse galloped from behind, ran to the front to stand, gasping for breath: "Invite the Lord."In the back... there are dozens of people riding fast horses to catch up, obeying General Yang's engraving, without order, no one can enter the army, those people are blocked outside, they are ordered to immediately fly the general, please go to the army immediately!"
Yang Ling was surprised: “Who is chasing?”
The soldier's face was very strangely airy, and he said, "This... the adult who called me to tell you said."There are Li Dongyang, Jiao Fang, Yang Ting and three university students behind, and the rest... it is their follow-up.”
Yang Ling heard the words and Zhengde looked at each other, and all his eyes showed a look of surprise.Zhengde was like a child in a truant place who was caught by the teacher on the spot, with timidity on his face, and looked at Yang Ling with some panic: "What to do?What to do?“Where am I going to hide?”
"Didn't it be said that it was estimated that the army had arrived at the Xuanfu, and then announced the secret purpose of the emperor's departure from Beijing to the cabinet and the six nine kings?"Why did they find out so quickly?”Yang Ling frowned for a moment and whispered to Zhengde, “But the emperor is timid?”
He listened to his waist and glanced at the soldier.He also lowered his voice to Yang Ling and said, “What is cowardly?I was scared just to know that these mouths I couldn’t argue with them anyway.They’re behind their ass, what can I do?But... I have to go.No matter how they stop, I have to go!
“You’re here to help me find a way.”
Yang Ling laughed and said, “If so, give it to your court.”
He trod away, rushed back, his twenty escorts and Chinese officers followed closely behind, Yang Ling's eyes on the left and right, suddenly found a soldier in the team, riding on a yellow horse, black skin, green bean eyes, garlic nose, full of beard from the jaw straight to the end of the two spears, Ziza Pung Pung like a spear, if his hand eight feet long.
Looking at this person's appearance is still somewhat familiar, a little thought to remember that last night and Zhengde sitting side by side by the fire nibbling the bone of the beard, Yang Ling's eyes: it is him!Yang Ling made a horse head, and the war was stinging, and he stopped in front of the man and drank, “What is your name?”
"Zhang Fei" startled, Yang Ling does not recognize him, he is Yang Ling personally picked out the ground soldiers, he can know Yang Ling, although the sex is rough, but in front of Yang Ling how dare he dare to be arrogant, "Zhang Fei" busy strangled Ma Li, the rules said: "return the commander, under the standard iron bar battalion captain Liu stick hammer!"
Yang Ling stayed, Qi Dao: “What is this name?”Don’t you even have a real name?”
"Zhang Fei" black face red, shyly said: "adult, the little parents on the name, said I was born again black and strong, and like an iron rod hammer, so it was called Liu stick hammer."
Yang Ling saw that he looked coarse, stupid and coarse heart was very satisfied, he hey he smiled, said: "The official worship the sage, went to the Datong to inspect the war, behind the Beijing master several Wenshen to pursue, must do everything possible to persuade the officer to go back, this official ordered you to hold my sword, take me twenty soldiers, go to the rear to stop them, wait for the army to pass through the residence gate you come back, do this work?"
Liu Dasticku said with great joy, and immediately said, “Your subordinates obeyed!”
Yang Ling handed the sword to his hand and said, “Those great officials are readers, talking shit, and their mouths are hanging rivers.”No matter what they say, you just have to tell them: "Obeds of the oracle, after the tour, the natural dragon returns to the sea and the wind is calm, and you adults are at ease in Beijing, don't worry about it!"
Liu stick hammer will be the sword into the stumbling stick, the coarse black eight-foot iron rod to the saddle, holding the fist: "under the mark to obey!Whatever they say...Don’t let them go half way!”
Liu Dastick took up the black iron rod, said nothing, led twenty pro-arms and killed them backwards.
Yang Ling hey hey hey smile: "Let this class show and this soldier reason."
He turned to the air and said, "The middle officer, ordered the whole army to accelerate its advance, the former army first went to the Yongguan to close the door, went straight to the propaganda, a moment without delay!"
“The order!”The officer shouted and raised a small flag in his hand.The flag in the hands of the four orders continued to change, the five thousand iron riding suddenly like a flood, the car, Ma Xiaoxiao, rolling iron flow rushed to the mediocre.
He was faithful and wanted to hide it for Emperor Zhengde and Yang Ling.Last night he found the excuse of the ground all day, but also really hidden, who expected that in the evening, when the three university students should leave the palace, the inner palace had Renshou Palace eunuchs come to the Wenhua Temple to ask why the emperor had not yet arrived in the harem.The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother asked the Emperor to go to the palace lights and clouds.
This suddenly revealed the filling, Pingsu two empress rarely took the initiative to find the emperor Zhengde, because it is the New Year, the royal family members come to the palace to visit, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother chatted happily, think of Zhengde like to be lively, this is coming to find people.
Li Dongyang, who was terrified, found Yang Tinghe, and the two looked for the upper hall.First of all, the mouth was torn, and the eunuchs and guards who heard the news were the three major bachelors in the New Year's friendship boxing match, and they did not know which one to persuade them, all of them were standing there.
Li Dongyang and Yang Ting did not know what happened to the emperor, this time it was really crazy, the three major bachelors Swing swept the floor, Jiao Fang was hit by Yang Ting and a punch.The beard was raised by Li Dongyang a few.His foot also caught Li Dongyang almost instigated.
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Princess, and the Princesses all came to hear the news, and Jiao Fang could not see it.This was a blunt statement, claiming that the emperor had made a secret decree, and he had to act accordingly.The three palaces were shocked, and they also knew that they could not control Zhengde at all, so they bombed all the three major bachelors out of Beijing and chased them all day and night.
Liu Dajie led 20 iron guards, the mighty wind rushed to the back of the array, the iron riding lined up, twenty silver guns pointed to the sky, Liu stick ribs into the sword, holding the iron bar, full of face.
Shang Fang Baojian, he had heard in the words of the play, and heard that there was that thing at the top of the official level, and the cattle.In any case, his own boss was destined to be a warrior, and he despised these nerds.
Li Dongyang saw a group of guards, Zhengde and Yang Ling did not appear, can not help but feel angry.
The emperor secretly left Beijing, and now he has not yet been persuaded to go back, he did not dare to open up at will, only to be patient and exclaim: "Where is Yang Ling Yangjun?"Tell him to come to the officer, the officer has three words...”
Before he had finished, Liu Dastick hammered the iron rod to the victory hook, slapped the sword from his belt, went into the air, drank like a loud drink, and shook the three major bachelors a trembling, almost did not fall off the horse.
Liu Dastick hammer opened the green bean eyes wide, loudly drinking: "Faith of the nobles, after the end of the tour, the natural dragon returned to the sea, calm, you adults feel at ease in Beijing, do not worry!"
