Luo Yingxiong, who claimed to be the generalissimo of the three armies in the north, sent the letter to Mi Tianyi, the garrison of Xianning in the former dynasty, was the most heavyweight among the three letters sent this time.

This letter was brought back by the general sent by Wang Dahu to fetch kerosene barrels and handed it to Master Mi.

The letter begins:

My most trusted and respected good brother Mi Tianyi Taijian

The content of the letter is divided into three parts, first of all, it is a cliché of officialdom to describe some unwarranted friendship and friendship between the two, saying that thirty years ago, they were with the Zhongju people--Mi Tianyi's promotion was examined one by one, and Luo Yingxiong was bought for 30,000 taels of silver; ten years later, he was shot down with a knife and a shot by the same Zhongwu Science and Technology Jinshi-Mi Tianyi's Wujinshi, and Luo Yingxiong obtained it by bribing the examiner. In any case, these were hyped up by Luo Dashuai as ingredients to please Master Mi.

After the 700-year-old millet and 800-year-old chaff were shaken off, the next content was written, that is, before the Xinhai October, they were officials in the same dynasty, and the loyalty of the Mi people can be seen from the sun and the moon, and the governor of Ta Luo did not hesitate to throw his head and spill his blood for the emperor's society, so you and my brothers are loyal and brave colleagues, and the heart is the same.

In essence, since Luo Yingxiong became an official, he is sinister, cunning and treacherous.

What kind of topic are you going to talk about for a long time? That's all written in the third part.

Luo Dashuai sighed first: "Huh", saying that now because of the chaos of the party's attack on the court, the emperor abdicated. At the beginning, in order to preserve the royal power, Luo had to take refuge in the Democratic Army in order to make a comeback in the future. Now the time has come to recover the previous dynasty, so we wait for the emperor's loyal and brave army to rise up. The ministers lived their lives in troubled times, not seeking to reach the princes, just to restore the royal foundation for 10,000 years, in order to be loyal.

Looking at the whole world, the rebellious party and government have long been overturned, clinging to the remnants and retreating to a corner. Its days are thin, the breath is dying, people's lives are in danger, and the day is precarious. This situation is in favor of our loyal people.

His Majesty instructed Brother Mi to act on behalf of the king to show the world and appoint Master Mi Tianyi as the vanguard officer of the three armies in the north. The letter of appointment will be submitted after Midi takes office.

I believe that Master Mi can serve the emperor with a brave and loyal heart, and he is entrusted by His Majesty to take on this important responsibility, and it is incumbent on him.

Brother Fool looks forward to Lord Mi coming to his post as soon as possible, and then he can bring the wine to the wind and seek a great cause together! ......

Master Mi Tianyi couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he read Luo Yingxiong's murderous nonsense letter. Three years ago, he was ashamed because he did not hold Xianning, and then he was escorted to Nanjing Mansion, knowing nothing about the current situation in the world. After being released by amnesty and returning to Xianning, the commander Wang Dahu told him some information about Luo Yingxiong's rebellion, commanding 300,000 northern troops, converging with the 200,000 southern troops of the former dynasty, and attacking the Republican Democratic Army and recovering the northern provinces.

Now that the letter reader learned that Luo Yingxiong and others are not just against the Republican Party, but want to restore the royal foundation of the previous dynasty, and have been edicted by His Majesty the Emperor to appoint Mi as the vanguard officer of the Northern Army, where should I go?

In this way, he thought of his own identity, since the defeat of the city, he always felt that he was still a general who had been appointed in the previous dynasty, and there was no other identity besides this? During the arrest period in Nanjing, he was also an official of the former dynasty, but in the eyes of the Republicans, he was a sinner with a different ideology.

After thinking about it, he finally felt that he should accept Luo Yingxiong's appointment.

Although he despised Luo someone's temperament and style and the many sins he had committed, when he thought that Luo Dashuai was currently doing the great cause of recovering the imperial cause of the previous dynasty, he should not look at people with old eyes.

Thinking of this, he decided to accept the appointment of the vanguard officer of the three armies in the north, and went to the front to re-establish his meritorious service, so as to be ashamed of losing the city.

Mi Shoubei, the filial son, told the old lady Mi about the invitation letter of Generalissimo Luo and his own thoughts, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded by the old lady.

The old lady said, if another person invites you to fight on the front line, I will not object, but you should not believe Luo Yingxiong's words. As the saying goes, a good horse is not worthy of a double saddle, and a good minister is not a good man, but Luo Yingxiong will surrender to the democratic army one time, and then turn against the water and provoke a war, isn't he a political hooligan? Besides, if you look at his black history, what crimes and unpunishable deeds has he done since he became an official? Isn't believing Luo's words tantamount to believing the words of jackals and beasts?

The old lady continued, you don't want to think carefully, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and you have not completely recovered, so you will be asked to be a pioneer officer, but your physical condition allows you to lead the troops to charge in front? If Luo Yingxiong gives you a position on the surface, it is not an exaggeration to say that in essence it is to harm you.

Mrs. Mi resolutely disagreed with letting her son go to the front as a pioneer officer.

Mi Tianyi, who was filial to his mother, was speechless for a while, thinking about it, and felt that if he lost this opportunity, he would not be able to realize his wish to be loyal to the court, nor would he be able to lose the shame of the city, so he became anxious again.

The adult's emotions were noticed by Mrs. Mi Tong, so she asked, and Mi Tianyi told Mrs. what she said to the old lady, saying that the old mother resolutely disagreed with him to go to the front.

Mrs. Mi, a virtuous lady and a bosom friend of her husband's, advised him not to be in a hurry, saying that he could persuade his mother to agree to let him go to the front to accept the appointment.

As a result, under the persuasion of Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Mi was angry, and said:

"Since you are hard-hearted, I won't say anything anymore, Mom, and you will weigh it yourself, and I won't stay if it's time to go. ”

In this way, Mi Tianyi decided to accept Generalissimo Luo Yingxiong's invitation and strive to go to the northern three armies north of the Nahuai River to take up his post as soon as possible.

On this day, the servants of the family came to report that a group of officers and soldiers had come from outside and wanted to see the adults.

And the rice guard went out to meet the people who came. Here came the leader of the South China Tiger and ten foreign spearmen, but the ten soldiers were only equipped with nine Mauser guns, and the other carried a large package on his back.

"Are you Master Mi Tianyi?" Hua Nanhu jumped off his horse and asked, "We have come to meet you on the orders of Generalissimo Luo, and these ten brothers are your bodyguards. See when the adults leave?"

The Lord replied:

"The humble position is Mi Tianyi, I am ready, I can go now. Wait, I'll get something. ”

At this time, Hua Nanhu took out another letter and handed it to Master Mi, which was a note written by Luo Yingxiong, explaining that the people who came were to protect Lord Mi, and they could come all the way to the Huaibei military camp.

After reading the letterhead, Master Mi believed Luo Yingxiong's nonsense even more, and he didn't know that he had already set a trap for him.

After a while, Master Mi took out a good horse, prepared a saddle, and took some application items, and went on the road with Old Man Hua and ten soldiers. In the back, the whole family of Mifu went out to see off the master.
