son-in-law

Chapter 855 Roller ([-])

The long caravan turned the fork in front and headed towards Hedeng Market, and the Huaxia military horse team that accompanied it went to the other side.Zhuo Yongqing was in the middle of the team. He was very busy and had a patch on his forehead with gauze. It was obvious that he had come back from the battlefield outside the mountain. Behind the horse was a cloth bag with Mao Yishan and Hou Wu in the bag. Waiting for someone to ask him to bring something back from outside the mountain.

Outside of Liangshan, the Huaxia Army's offensive was swift and violent, and it had easily captured six or seven towns on the road to Chengdu.Due to the high degree of discipline, people's livelihood in these places has not been damaged to a great extent, and the materials in the market began to circulate. , there are also exotic pastries.

Over the years, although the Hedeng regime has been vigorously engaged in business, in fact, what has been sold is weapons and luxury goods, and what has been bought back is food and many scarce and practical things, things used for enjoyment. In fact, there are not many.

Zhuo Yongqing was originally from Yanzhou in the northwest. He came to the Huaxia Army to serve as a soldier for food. Later, he killed Wanyan Loushi by accident and became one of the most dazzling fighting heroes in the Huaxia Army.

He made great contributions, was promoted, and received Mr. Ning's interview and encouragement. After that, he brought his family to Xiaocanghe, but not long after, the puppet Qixing army attacked, and then the Jurchen attacked.His parents first returned to Yanzhou, and then went south with the refugees. On the way, they encountered puppet Qi stragglers. Zhuo Yongqing's bragging father led people to resist and covered everyone to escape, and died among the puppet Qi soldiers. under the bow and arrow.In the three-year battle of Xiaocanghe, Zhuo Yongqing fought bravely to kill the enemy, but he was lucky enough not to die. Less than a year after he arrived and ascended the throne, his mother also died because of unhappiness, and Zhuo Yongqing became a lonely man.

He came all the way, if he knew what bloody was in the battle of beheading Wanyan Loushi, after his father died, he really entered the war, and after that, he made several military exploits.When Ning Yi saw him for the second time, he had just instructed him to transfer from the military position to the core area of ​​the army. Now, Zhuo Yongqing serves as a staff officer in the Fifth Army Headquarters. Although his rank is not high, he has already Familiarize yourself with the core operations of the military.

A few years ago, several survivors, including Zhuo Yongqing, had maintained a fairly close relationship in the battle of Xuanjia'ao's beheading of Loushi.Among them, Luo Ye entered the top ranks of the army, and this time he has followed General Liu Chengzong to Xuzhou; Hou Wu lost a hand in the battle at Xuanjia'ao, changed his career from the military, and entered civil security work. This time the army attacked, he He also accompanied him out of the mountains and participated in many comforts and arrangements after the war; Mao Yishan is now the battalion commander of the second battalion of the First Regiment of the Huaxia Fifth Army, which is a highly regarded reinforcement battalion. The role of attacking fortifications, this time out of the mountain, naturally follows it.

Qu Qing was a general in the Wu Dynasty, and now he is working in the General Staff Department, moving from the front to the background - he is still in Hedeng.After their parents died, these people became Zhuo Yongqing's relatives.

Go back to Hedeng and go to work according to the rules.After the work was done, it was already late, and Zhuo Yongqing led the horse to the family area on the mountainside.Everyone is reluctant to live, but there are not many people at home now, Luo Ye has big things in his heart, and now he has not married, Qu Qing is said to have a rotten life during the Wu Dynasty - he was still a soldier at that time, and he regarded the army as the basis. The family, although he once married a wife, later divorced, and now he has not remarried.On Zhuo Yongqing's side, many people have come to come to kiss - especially after killing Wanyan Loushi - tossing and turning, but Zhuo Yongqing has not been settled, and after the death of his parents, he is even more so. Some avoided this matter and delayed it until now.

Hou Wu has a long family background, and the Hou family's sister-in-law has a gentle and virtuous temperament - she often arranges blind dates with Zhuo Yongqing.Mao Yishan also got married in Xiaocanghe, and he chose a northwestern woman with a straightforward personality, dare to love and hate.Only when Zhuo Yongqing appeared on the street, he was seen by two women who had been watching from the street. The matter of his return was not a secret. He was debriefing before, and the news might have already passed here.

"Two sisters-in-law, brother asked me to bring something for you."

"They always cause you some trouble." The Hou family's sister-in-law said with a smile, and then turned her head to ask: "Come on, tell my sister-in-law, how long will you stay this time, and when will you have serious time, let me tell you, there is a girl... …”

After being entertained by two women for a while, a tall young man in his early twenties in military uniform came back from outside. This is Hou Yuanyong, the son of Hou Wu, who has joined the General Intelligence Department for two years. Qing then laughed: "Uncle Qing, you are back."

"Yes, yes, come back and deliver something."

Zhuo Yongqing and Hou Yuanyong talked for a while. Regarding Zhuo Yongqing's purpose of coming back this time, Hou Yuanyong seemed clear, and when the others walked away, he just said in a low voice, "Uncle Qing ran back, but he didn't dare to go up against it. I'm afraid I'm going to eat the first row." Zhuo Yongqing also smiled: "I just came back to accept the punishment." After chatting for a while, the sunset faded, and Qu Qing also came back from outside.

Among the five surviving people in Xuanjia'ao, Qu Qing and Hou Wu are relatively older. Among them, Qu Qing has the highest qualifications. He has been a general and participated in grassroots fighting. Murderous, now serving in the General Staff, he is even more restrained and steady.The five of them ate together, and the two women cleaned up the housework. Qu Qing and Zhuo Yongqing went out for a walk, and Hou Yuanyong followed behind.

The purpose of Zhuo Yongqing's return is not a secret, so there is no need to avoid it too much - the most prominent crimes and discipline violations in the war actually involved some fighting heroes in the past. The most troublesome is a company. Chang, once had a bit of unpleasantness with a small businessman who entered the mountain with Deng Deng. This time he fought out, just after the siege, he found the other party's home, accidentally killed the businessman, and left the other party's widow and two daughters.This matter was found out, and the company commander confessed. Regarding how to deal with it, the army hopes to be lenient. In short, try to ask for mercy. Zhuo Yongqing is one of the representatives sent back this time. He is also a fighting hero. After killing Wanyan Loushi, occasionally the military will use him as a face project.

"It's been almost ten years since the Huaxia Army revolted, and this is the first time it has been fought. But the most important thing is not the outside world. You can see Yongqing before the fight. The discipline is the strictest, and the meetings are held again and again... ..." Qu Qing said these things with a smile as he walked away, "but the matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, you are just a messenger, if something goes wrong, you can't have a word on your side... I know you are Just pass the word, and for the rest, read more, think more and talk less."

Zhuo Yongqing nodded: "It's not me who led the team, and I won't speak. But if you listen to Brother Qu, will you handle it strictly?"

"I personally estimate that it will be stricter, but there are two kinds of strictness. Deepening the disposal is stricter, and expanding the scope of the attack is also stricter. Let's see which one you can accept... If it is deepening, do you agree to kill for life?" Qu After Qing finished speaking, he patted his shoulder and smiled, "Okay, let's stop the gossip here, let's get down to business..."

Zhuo Yongqing waved his hand quickly: "Brother Qu, you don't need to do business."

"It must be said, just as you entered the door, you were pulled over by your two sisters-in-law and gave a death order... When you are old, find a woman. You don't want to learn Luo Ye, he is the son-in-law in the capital, in the pile of fat powder. Come here. You grew up in the northwest, haha, you haven’t seen as many women as he has touched, your parents are gone, we have to help you figure this out. Come on, let’s not play tricks, what conditions, you Draw a road and see if my brother can catch it."

Zhuo Yongqing just shook his head with a bitter face, but he didn't dare to cheat and play tricks - he originally thought of blackmailing Qu Qing with a blind date, but Qu Qing didn't take women seriously, he just had enough fun and didn't want to mess around anymore , does not mean that blind dates are taboo. If you open a condition to go together, this big brother Qu must be pushing the boat along the way, but he attaches great importance to this matter.

A meeting between the military and other departments on the matter was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day.As Qu Qing said, the superiors attach great importance to this matter. After meeting several parties, Mr. Ning and Liu Dabiao, the head of the tyrannical sword in charge of the Military Justice Department, also came over - although this woman is also Mr. Ning's wife on the other hand , but she has a forthright temperament and strong martial arts. She has personally participated in several military competitions, which is quite loved by the soldiers.

The specific handling of this series of matters is still the work of several departments, and Mr. Ning and Liu Dabiao are only present as non-voting delegates.Zhuo Yongqing remembered what Qu Qing said, and only listened carefully and stated fairly at the meeting. After all the opinions from all sides were stated one by one, Zhuo Yongqing saw that Mr. Ning in front of him was silent for a long time, and then he began to speak. .

"I have asked you several times...even more than a few times. What do you think you are, Huaxia, what is it? What is the difference between you and the people outside?"

"...The Wu Dynasty was defeated by the Jurchen, and millions of people were defeated like mowing the grass. We killed the emperor of the Wu Dynasty and defeated the Jurchen once. We say that we are the Huaxia Army. After so many years, we have won the battle. Enough is enough, what do you think is the difference between you and the people of the Wu Dynasty? You are not the same from the beginning to the end! Right? How did we defeat so many enemies?

"...because we realize that there is no way out, because we realize that everyone's life is earned by ourselves, we sacrificed our lives and worked hard to become a good person, a group of good people together, formed a An excellent group! What is Huaxia? China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of clothes and regulations, it is called Hua. Excellent and extraordinary things are called Huaxia! You have done great things, you say us You are the people of China, so China is great. You have done bad things, saying you are a people of China, do you have this face? Shame."

"The Wu Dynasty has been in existence for more than 200 years. Civil officials want power, form cliques to fight against dissidents, military officials want money, and gangs form gangs to exploit and eat empty pay, so that Wen can't remonstrate with Wu and can't fight! When the enemy comes, the soldiers look at the people around them first. People can't run away. The Huaxia Army has been fighting for almost ten years, and finally they have fought out. The good times have come, right? What a good start you have made! You are also from the Wu Dynasty! You are pushed to the extreme, awakened, and excellent, and you can start to fight Victory, your excellence is not born of your parents! Those people outside, they may all become people like you! The rabbit bites people when it is in a hurry, beat the Jurchen away, you want to become the next Jurchen!? Give it all How about you being slaves!"

"We have held many meetings and done many ideological work. We earn our lives for ourselves and do our duty. When things come to an end, we feel that we are superior to others! Many people say that there are too many meetings, but I don't see it enough! Zhou Tong I used to say that in a good world, literati should have rulers, and warriors should have knives. Today your knives are sharpened. It seems that there are not enough rulers and enough rules! The last meeting was about the court. How to judge, we have to figure it out next, and give everyone a clear ruler—"

"...I still beg for mercy, give you a lighter punishment, and pay off with merit... In the future, it will take less than 200 years for you to become emperors, and your children will be killed in the Golden Temple, and you will be scolded by future generations... I don’t think there is such a chance, the Jurchen is now attacking the Daming Mansion! Wang Shanyue and Zhu Biao are fighting with others at the front! Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin also came down and passed the Yanmen Pass! We still have a little time with the Jurchens A decisive battle, want to enjoy the blessings? Become the same thing as the people of the Wu Dynasty today? The party is the same and the dissidents? If you do something wrong, you will be punished with three cups? I think you will die at the hands of the Jurchen!"

"We're not trying to rebuild a military dynasty, we're going to do a better job, everyone... This time, the leadership of the Fifth Army will all have to write a review. Those who have a share in this matter, let's go to the end first... Who The love you asked for..."

While listening to these words, Zhuo Yongqing brushed his hands and recorded all these things.Although the words are heavy, the attitude is not negative, but it can be seen that there is a tendency - Brother Qu is right, compared to the external war situation, Mr. Ning pays more attention to the internal rules.He has also gone through a lot of things now and participated in a lot of important trainings, and he can finally see the soundness of it.

He was the representative who came to be scolded, and he was just passing the word, so he didn't panic too much.After the meeting was over, in the evening, Mr. Ning took time to meet him again, said with a smile that he was "pushed over again", and asked him about the situation on the front line.

The next day, Zhuo Yongqing left Hedeng with the team, preparing to return to the frontline battlefield south of Chengdu.When he arrived in Jiading, he left the team a little to arrange the implementation of one thing Ning Yi explained: the businessman who was killed in Jiading was surnamed He. After his death, he left behind a widow and two orphaned daughters. In order to implement this matter, Ning Yi casually mentioned it to Zhuo Yongqing and asked him to pay attention to it.

Zhuo Yongqing went over in person with some things - he was actually a little selfish.

The last time he was in Jiading, he actually saw this family and learned something about it.The family of the businessman surnamed He is not very good. He has a violent personality and loves to drink. It may be because of this that he clashed with the Huaxia army who came to the door and was killed.His widow has a weak temperament. In fact, when her husband died, she didn't dare to speak at all. The eldest daughter, He Ying, was a bit pretty and a bit stubborn. If it wasn't for her persistence, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't be a big problem this time. The plan is probably to be pressed down.

The second daughter of the businessman, He Xiu, was obviously malnourished and emaciated. She was introverted and hardly dared to speak.

She reminded Zhuo Yongqing of Xuanjia'ao seven or eight years ago.

At that time, he was seriously injured and was left in Xuanjiaao by his comrades. The villagers treated him for his injuries and asked their daughter to take care of him. The girl was dumb, lame, dry and thin like firewood.The northwest is poor, and such a girl can't even get married. The old villager had some thoughts about wanting Zhuo Yongqing to take the woman away, but he couldn't say it in the end.

The Jurchen came, and the dumb girl was torn naked and then killed in front of him.They didn't say a word from beginning to end, but for many years, the dumb girl's eyes flashed in front of him, every time family and friends asked him to go on a blind date - he actually wanted to get married - at that time he You can see that look.He remembered that the dumb girl was called Xuan Manniang.

The lame girl named He Xiu reminds Zhuo Yongqing of her.

He went to the home, knocked on the door, and when he saw the military uniform, a jar inside was smashed.Zhuo Yongqing raised his hand to block, the jar smashed into several pieces, and a piece slashed across his forehead. Zhuo Yongqing's forehead was already injured, but at this time another piece was added, and blood seeped from the wound.

It was the eldest daughter He Ying who smashed the jar from the inside, and the lame daughter He Xiu hid behind her long hair. Zhuo Yongqing reached out and touched the seeping blood, then raised his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry. "..." He paused, "My name is Zhuo Yongqing, I have met, and I will tell the two girls on behalf of the Huaxia Army that the Huaxia Army will give you a fair and just account of Ling Zun's affairs. It won't be very long. Everyone involved in this matter is already investigating... Here are some urgently needed materials and food, please accept the emergency first, don't refuse, I will go first, the injury does not matter, don't be afraid."

He picked up the two bags from the carriage and put them in the door, He Ying stretched out and kicked: "Don't want your stinky things." But she didn't have any strength.Zhuo Yongqing put down his things, opened the door, then jumped into the carriage and left quickly.

Don't scare people, see you next time.

——He thought so, pressing the wound and rushing back, and the next day, he rushed to the direction of Chengdu.

This was their second meeting, and he didn't know what the future would hold, but he didn't have to think too much about it, because he was on the battlefield.In these war-torn years, who can think more about this...
