Chapter 2 "Words of Loyalty to the Country"
The old man smiled, "Good, good." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ling Feng, grandpa has more to say tonight than just these few words, there are a lot of them, you have to cheer up and remember it. ”
"Oh", Yue Lingfeng nodded, giving the old man a reassuring look.
The old man's smile was even stronger, and he looked at the portrait, "Okay, grandpa will test you again, you said that there are twelve characters on the portrait of the old ancestor and how many do you know." ”
"Five over here? It should be six. Yue Lingfeng pointed his little finger to the six big characters in the upper left corner of the portrait, and then turned his head and asked his father: "Dad, that is the word 'fly', it seems to be different from what my father originally taught me." ”
"Ha, ha. "This is all recognized by you, then Dad is teaching you now, this "飝" is a traditional Chinese character, Dad originally taught you all simplified characters, and when you study next year, Dad will slowly teach you traditional characters.
"Then next year, Ling Feng will be able to learn more words. ”
Yue Lingfeng was a little happy, and then said to his grandfather with some puzzlement: "Grandpa, these six words are read 'Yue Wu Mu Wang Yue Fei'. Do the ancestors have two names?"
"To be precise, the old ancestors had three names. The old ancestor's name is Yue Fei, and there is also a name called Yue Pengju, Yue Wumu King is the title name of the old ancestor, which is an honorific title for the old ancestor in later generations, and respects the immortal fame left by the old ancestor in the Southern Song Dynasty Anti-Japanese War. The Southern Song Dynasty is the name of a dynasty in China's history, more than 700 years ago. As for you, according to your grandfather's lineage, you can be regarded as the twenty-seventh generation descendant of the ancestors. ”
Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly. "Perhaps, in this world, there are only three generations of our ancestors and a family of five who are the descendants of our ancestors in the world. The old man's tone was full of sentimentality. ”
Yue Qingshan's face was ashamed, and he reached out to hold his father's hand. "Dad, since we can all survive, I think other people in Zhongmen also have a chance to survive, now Hong Kong is the most sensitive topic in the world, and it is also the fastest and most widespread place where the news spreads, if there are other people in Zhongmen, I think they will also come to Hong Kong to feel the situation, next year is the deadline for Hong Kong's return to the motherland, our hospital will go to a large hospital in Hong Kong early next year to investigate, there are more than a dozen people in a line, I am now trying to fight for a place, then I will use Zhongmen incision to contact it. ”
The old man nodded, patted his son's arm, and then said to his grandson, "Ling Feng, just now you recognized the six characters in the upper right corner of the portrait, and now grandpa teaches you the six characters in the upper left corner, and these six words read 'Jing Zhong Serve the Country, Loyal Gate'." ”
"Loyal to the country, loyal to the door. Yue Lingfeng read it along. "Grandpa, are we loyal to the family just to serve the country with loyalty?"
The old man didn't expect his grandson to have such a sentence, and he nodded emphatically with emotion in his heart. "That's almost what it means, our loyalty is to inherit and carry forward the spirit of our ancestors' loyalty to the country', and to serve the motherland in the form of non-governmental organizations. ”
The old man took a few sips of the teacup slowly, and then said: "Ling Feng, Zhongmen suffered heavy casualties because of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression decades ago, and there may be other people, but your father has been in contact for more than ten years, and there is no response until now, and some important things of Zhongmen are still unknown, among them, there is the loyal soul spectrum of our Zhongmen, where there is a detailed life record of each Zhongmen righteous person, and there is a single book of the life of the old ancestor. The heroes of the ancestors have a magnificent life. Before he was born, he was hit by a once-in-a-century flood, but fortunately, the mother of the old ancestors, that is, our grandmother, saw the extraordinary, and sat in a water tank with him in a hurry. Later, the water tank ran aground in a small village in Tangyin, Henan Province, and the mother and son were already starving and fainting, and it took a lot of effort for the villagers to save them. After that, their mother and son also relied on the help of the villagers. Since childhood, our ancestors have experienced the warmth of the world. After this natural disaster, the ancestors followed another troubled era. The root of troubled times lies in war. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty government was incompetent, with a fertile land and abundant resources, but the national strength was weak and oppressed by a small Jin country on the border. The war has grown from small to large, and the lives of the people have become increasingly difficult, and displaced refugees can be seen everywhere, and from time to time the news of refugees' deaths has been heard. As the old ancestor grew up, he came to know how great the suffering of the people was caused by war. I deeply understand the importance of a country's strength and stability to the lives of the people. Therefore, he decided to practice martial arts and join the army, determined to lead the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians to drive out foreign enemies. The old ancestor worshiped under the door of Zhou Daxia, cultivated both civil and military, and became a teacher at the age of sixteen. On the day when the ancestor left for the army, the old grandmother tattooed the words 'loyal to the country' on his back. ”
Yue Lingfeng looked at the portrait along his grandfather's fingers, frowning slightly, "Grandpa, is it pricked with a needle?
The old man looked at his grandson kindly, "The old grandmother used a silver needle thick with a toothpick to pierce it, just these four words, a full hundred and thirty-eight times, and then used cinnabar to set the shape, it hurts very much, the pain in the heart, the old ancestor held back stiffly, and didn't snort." After the old grandmother finished tattooing these four words, she asked the old ancestor at that time, saying that your mother tattooed the four words of loyalty and service to the country on your back, do you understand? The old ancestor only replied, saying that the child understands, and these words have been engraved in the child's heart!"
The old man picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, reminiscing about the meaning of these four words, and seemed to experience the pain of the silver needle piercing the back.
Outside the house, the wind was howling, the red candles on the table were flickering, and a trace of blood flashed on the old man's pale face.
"Father, it's cold, go to bed early. Yue Qingshan was worried about his father's hidden illness, and got up and said to his father.
"It's okay, wait until I tell Ling Feng the origin of the Zhongmen before going to sleep. The old man shook his head, and continued:
"The old ancestor Wen Taowu was strategic, wise and brave, and soon showed his edge in the war against Jin, and won the trust of some veteran loyal ministers. They recommended it one after another, and the ancestors broke through many obstacles and finally took charge of the Great Seal of the Generalissimo of the Anti-Jin Soldiers and Horses. With the big seal in hand, the old ancestor decided to revive the military prestige and deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the Jin people. ”
Speaking of which, the old man looked at his grandson. "Ling Feng, the war is cruel, after a confrontation, corpses are everywhere! Blood flows like a river! Between victory and defeat is not only physical casualties, but also soul crushing! At that time, the Jin people were fierce, well-ridden, and fierce in battle, and many Southern Song Dynasty troops were afraid of the Jin people. The old ancestor thought carefully before he began to reorganize the army. On the one hand, he enlightened the officers and men and boosted their morale; on the other hand, he let his capable subordinates train these new troops, familiarize themselves with various formations, and strengthen their physical fitness and cavalry and archery training; at the same time, he created his own set of fighting techniques and passed them on to his soldiers to enrich their combat means and skills. Later generations called this kind of fighting technique the Yue family boxing method, and you now learn it with your father is the Yue family boxing method in the hands of the Yue family. It's a pity," the old man sighed. "Grandpa, I haven't learned everything, and in the future, we will regain our loyalty, and you will have to learn from another teacher. Although it is now the first era, ancient martial arts still has irreplaceable advantages. ”
The old man groaned slightly. "Maybe the secret collection of our Zhongmen has really been transferred abroad, if your father can contact others next year, at that time, you can not only find the Yue family's loose hand book in it, but also learn the essence of our Yue family's martial arts, as well as some martial arts of other sects on the rivers and lakes. ”
"The Yue family's loose handbook, the secret of the loyal family. Yue Lingfeng read in a low voice, saw that his grandfather picked up the teacup again, and said anxiously: "Grandpa, the water is cold, let me pour you a hot cup." ”
"I'll do it. ”
Yue Qingshan stood up. He listened intently to his father, forgetting the details. This time, the father said in detail, which is a hint that does not need to be explicit. His father, who was old and in unstable health, thought that if his trip to Hong Kong did not bear fruit, he would have to rearrange and record his father's words.
After changing the boiling water, the father and son listened to the old man say:
"Under the rectification of the old ancestors, the new army was quickly formed. In actual combat, this army is strict in discipline, brave and tenacious, well-founded in advance and retreat, flexible and changeable, so that the Jin people are very uncomfortable, several victories down, the military prestige is greatly boosted, this army is also called the Yuejia Army by the Jin people and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty. Gradually, the Yuejia army took the initiative in the war, and the Jin army was defeated and retreated. Just when the old ancestor wanted to level the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop and return the Taiping world of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was framed by traitors. This traitor's name is Qin Hui. This person has no talent to govern the country, and relies on slipping his beard and slapping horses, and playing with power and scheming to climb to a high position. This kind of person, how can the ancestors see it in their eyes, so they are hated by this person. As the rights of this traitorous villain became bigger and bigger, he actually had a different intention of usurping power and seeking the country, and he was very jealous of the eloquence and strategy of his ancestors, and he spoke all the bad things about his ancestors in front of the emperor, and finally he and the strategists of the Jin State joined the great crime of rebellion against the old ancestors who supported the army and stood on their own! The narrow-minded, mediocre and incompetent emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty suddenly became suspicious, regardless of the truth of the incident, and regardless of the advice of the ministers, he issued an order to copy and behead my Yue family! When the news spread, the Yue family army was filled with righteous indignation, and some people proposed that they simply oppose the Southern Song Dynasty and set up the old ancestor as the emperor. Even the ancestor's confidant Niu Gao also agreed. One day, the old ancestor invited him into the secret room, took off his battle robe, and revealed the words 'loyal to the country' on his back. General Niu knew the gist of these words, but he didn't think so, his idea was simple, saying that the emperor was going to kill your whole family, so what was the use of you still being loyal to him? The old ancestor explained to him the deep meaning of the old grandmother's tattoo. He said that the way of the monarch and the minister, the death of the king and the minister is only a small matter, once the army is supported to retaliate, it will be a major matter, at least it will kill each other, and the land will be full of blood; at worst, it will allow foreign enemies to invade, the land will be shattered, and the people of the world will be displaced! Unless the emperor of the dynasty is absurd and cruel, and the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, you will be burdened with the great righteousness of being loyal to the king and cherishing the people. The old grandmother is to let her son always remember that he should not forget the foundation of loyalty and righteousness.
