- Piao Astronomy The sky is filled with smoke, and the unburned craters are dotted with sparks. The carriage fell sideways on the side of the road, one wheel rolling far away. The flags placed on the carriage were full of fireworks. On the battlefield, mourners are everywhere. The remaining soldiers of Wu Yijun put their arms on each other's shoulders and slowly walked outside the battlefield.
Xu Shicheng, the commander-in-chief, flew up on horseback. He stopped and dismounted, holding the whip tightly, pointing at Zhu Chenggong's nose and yelling: "Zhu Chenggong, you bastard! Have we ever let you go so far into the Qing Dynasty?"
"Sir, this is not the place of the Qing Dynasty." Zhu Chenggong, with his shoulder wounded, proudly pointed to the land at his feet: "Every inch here is my Ming Dynasty territory. As a soldier, what's wrong with regaining his homeland?"
"You bastard! If you want military glory, this town won't stop you, but you can't drag your brothers to die together!" Xu Shicheng was angry and pointed at the tired and wounded soldiers around him: "You see clearly, three thousand brothers passed by here How much is left after one battle? You are risking the lives of your brothers for the black yarn above your head!"
"I, Zhu Chenggong, act upright, and my heart can shine like the sun and the moon! What is right and what is wrong will be judged by future generations." Zhu Chenggong refused to repent.
"YouOkay, okay!" Xu Shicheng laughed angrily: "You can do whatever you want, but from now on, get out of the first town! Not only will you get out of the first town, but this town will also join you. One copy, just wait until you are dismissed and investigated!"
¡¡
Inside the military camp.
The little eunuch who delivered the order covered his nose with his hands to block the pungent smell of the soup. Seeing the indifference of the soldiers around him, the little eunuch shouted dissatisfied: "Is there anyone alive? Is Zhu Chenggong here? Come out quickly to receive the order!"
The sergeant entered the barracks slowly, and a moment later Zhu Chenggong walked out quickly with his shoulders hanging. He lifted his clothes and fell to his knees. The young eunuch asked for his identity, whispered softly, and unfolded an imperial edict: "By God. The emperor's edict said. Wu Yi's army was the first to suppress the left guard Yin Yizi, the general of Fengguo. Reward, one thousand silver, one hundred pieces of silk." Commander-in-Chief Zhu Chenggong, please return to Beijing immediately without delay. I hereby express my gratitude"
Zhu Chenggong was stunned.
The little eunuch waited for a long time and said impatiently: "Krupp, please hurry up and receive the order? Our family is still waiting to go back to deliver business."
"My lord, Zhu Chenggong has accepted the order!" He knocked his head heavily. Lifting it up again, Zhu Chenggong's face was full of joy and confusion.
¡¡
The streets of Nanjing.
Wearing a brand-new official robe, Zhu Chenggong rode on a tall horse and walked slowly in the center of the team. Behind and behind him were two groups of Wu Yi Army soldiers who followed him into Beijing. Fanyang hat, mandarin duck shirt, bayonet so bright that it dazzles the eyes. Both sides of the narrow street were crowded with Nanjing people watching.
"It's incredible. Three thousand men and horses dared to cross the river to find trouble with the Tatars. They were surrounded in the canyon. They were stunned for three days and three nights. Wu Yi's army is mighty, and the country's surname is mighty!"
"That's right! If I hadn't sacrificed my life as a bait, how could we have achieved such a great victory? There were 30,000 Qing troops, but not many of them escaped."
"Why did I hear that we also suffered heavy casualties?"
"Deaths and injuries? What a joke! The ones who were killed and injured were not Wu Yijun. If you ask me to say that the Chief Assistant is right, if you want to build it, build Wu Yijun. What is the use of the rest of the losers? In war, you are afraid of death. Even if you are not afraid of death, you can't defeat the Qing army. ."
"I heard that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were shocked, and a reward was awarded. Anyone who kills the surname of the country will receive ten thousand taels of silver, and will be admitted to the Three Banners!"
"After this incident, I am afraid that the Tatars will no longer dare to go south. The surname of the country is comparable to that of the Han Dynasty!"
¡¡
In the study room of Ma Mansion.
"Young people are more passionate and impulsive, and there is nothing wrong with that. But you are not an ordinary young man, you are a general with a heavy army." Ma Shiying's voice was gentle but there was an unquestionable flavor in it.
"Three thousand left guards, half of the casualties. Counting the casualties of other armies, the loss is nearly ten thousand." Ma Shiying stared at Zhu Chenggong who lowered his head and blushed: "Kill the enemy one thousand, damage yourself eight hundred. This battle I am the Ming Dynasty. What a loss. Logically speaking, the court should punish you. But do you know why instead of punishing you, they want to promote you? "
"I have no idea."
"Your father sent a telegram, saying that he would cede the land of three cities in exchange for your innocence; Minister Shao sent a telegram saying that young people will inevitably make mistakes. At least the starting point is good, and he wants the court to deal with it leniently. Even Wu Yi's army officers and assistants have Wrote a letter to plead for mercyZhu Chenggong. You are so proud." Ma Shiying's majestic voice was suppressed, and Zhu Chenggong buried his head deeper. He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't.
"The opinions of these people must be taken care of. This is just one of them." Ma Shiying twirled his beard and said: "I think what Minister Shao said is right. Young people will always make mistakes. Even Sun Du also made mistakes. You have made constant mistakes to get where you are now These are the little details. What really makes me value youYes, this is the discrimination against me! "
"It's a fact that the imperial court is weak and the governors are too self-respecting to be able to carry out the Northern Expedition. But as a soldier, you can't think like that! Looking at the army, all the princes are either thinking about fighting for fame and wealth, or trying to survive. There is only one Zhu. He successfully sacrificed his life and devoted himself to the Northern Expedition for the country. This momentum and this intention mean that no matter how big a mistake he made the court should tolerate him."
Zhu Chenggong first looked up in shock, and then his eyes were filled with emotion. Lord Chief Assistantunderstand him!
"Go to the Ministry of War to report, and go to take charge of the third town next month. You have to remember to keep your true colors. Wu Yijun is the Wu Yijun of the imperial court, not the Wu Yijun of a family."
¡°You must not forget your duty even if you are in a humble position!¡±
The stern Ma Shiying now smiled slightly: "Your Majesty will summon you tomorrow. Deal with it well and don't lose your decency."
"Yes! I resign from my humble position!"
¡¡
??Singing and dancing, silk and bamboo bursts.
At the royal banquet, Emperor Zhu Yousong seemed very happy. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink up, my dear!"
With a drunken blush on his face, Zhu Chenggong curled his tongue: "Your Majesty I I really can't drink anymore. If I drink any more"
"Eh? I asked you to drink whatever you wanted. Those ministers don't take me seriously, so don't you take me seriously too?"
"Thisyour majesty please!" He raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp. The wine rushed to his head, and Zhu Chenggong felt the world was spinning, and he staggered and hit his head on the wine table.
On the other side, Zhu Yousong laughed loudly: "I can't fight, drinking you can't! Hiccup huff" Zhu Yousong, a fat man, fell down on the mat and gradually began to snore.
The chamberlain didn¡¯t know what to do. At this moment, a eunuch sang a promise: ¡°The Queen is here!¡±
Ma Sanniang, who was dressed in silk, walked in. Seeing such a scene here, she couldn't help but frown and cover her nose.
"Why are you so drunk? Why don't you help His Majesty go back to the palace to sleep?"
Several powerful eunuchs used their strength to carry Zhu Yousong away.
"Mother, what should General Zhu do?"
Ma Sanjia just didn't answer, but he was really crazy looking at Zhu Chenggong who still looked heroic even after he was drunk.
¡¡
The bedroom.
"Ah? This this" Zhu Chenggong, who was in disheveled clothes, looked at the half-naked woman next to him in astonishment, but who was it if she wasn't the queen?
"General, there is no need to be like this." Ma Sanniang said calmly: "It's just a casual marriage. After today, I will have nothing to do with the general."
"I am a miserable woman. Although I am the master of the harem, I am not happy with your majesty. If you are lucky enough to get pregnant today, you will be grateful to the general for your kindness in the future. General, don't worry, your majesty is still drunk, so I will go."
¡¡
Scenes of memories flashed messily in his mind. Mr. Zhu Chenggong, who was sitting on the horse, frowned and was in a daze.
"General, the chief assistant's residence has arrived." The adjutant reminded from the side.
Zhu Chenggong came back to his senses and saw the red lacquer gate not far away. The plaque clearly read Ma Mansion. Sure enough, he had arrived at the place. He took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, dismounted, and threw the reins to the guard. After adjusting his clothes, he went up and knocked on the door.
The porter naturally knew this popular general of the Ming Dynasty and hurriedly reported the letter. After a while, the housekeeper led Zhu Chenggong into the study. In the study, the electric gramophone slowly played the recorded Kunqu opera. Ma Shiying was sitting behind the desk with reading glasses stuck on the bridge of his nose, reading a memorial.
"Sir, Chief Assistant"
"Wait a minute." Ma Shiying waved her hand to stop Zhu Chenggong from talking. Then he continued to review the memorial, and then he didn't put it down until he finished reviewing the memorial in front of him. He took off his reading glasses and looked at Zhu Chenggong with squinted eyes.
"I heard you went to Shanghai?"
"Yes. I am humble enough to welcome the officers and students back to the camp." Zhu Chenggong answered carefully.
"Well" After a long pause, Ma Shiying waved his hand and motioned for all the servants to go out. In just a moment, everyone was gone, and only Ma Shiying and Zhu Chenggong were left in the study. Sunlight shines through the bright glass, and if you look carefully, you can even see the dust particles making Boolean motion in the light.
No one spoke in the study, and the silence was terrifying.
After a long time, Ma Shiying suddenly said: "The queen gave birth smoothly, mother and child are safe."
Zhu Chenggong's idea came to him anyway, and he said bravely: "This is a great joy. I have someone to succeed the Ming Dynasty"
"Don't you know this?" Ma Shiying asked sternly: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself."??¡±
Without waiting for Zhu Chenggong to say anything, Ma Shiying continued: "Sanniang has a soft temper. The two palace maids swore an oath, and she became soft-hearted. If I hadn't had spies in the palace and had dealt with it earlier, do you think you would still be standing here today? ?¡±
Zhu Chenggong suddenly sweated like rain. He had an affair with the empress, cuckolded the emperor, and it would be such an uproar if word spread. Even if Ma Shiying is in power again, it will be difficult to get everything right once this happens. There will be no eggs left when the nest is overturned, and I'm afraid even the Australians won't be able to save Zhu Chenggong.
¡°It¡¯s a humble job¡I know I¡¯m wrong.¡±
"When a man does something, he does it. The most important thing is to clean it up." Ma Shiying said solemnly: "Sanniang has been in the palace for three years and has nothing to do. That foolish king only focused on playing with young girls and prostitutes, and his body has long been consumed by wine and sex. It's empty. If Sanniang has nothing to do anymore, I'm afraid that once this foolish king is gone, there will be another turmoil in the Ming Dynasty." (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
