Chapter 140: Our Mulan
If He Mulan's previous words only gave the Leopard Bulb a "chance" to turn back, then Hu Li's narration of his "past" was the real shock to the Leopard Sprout.
Recently, the income has dropped by half, and it is not easy for the author to make a living, thank you for your understanding. Please support the genuine version, replace it in twenty minutes.
The eldest brother who "picked him up" was a forty-year-old man who had neither a family nor a private property. He will use it as much as he has. If you don't need it, you will keep it and use it when everyone has no money.
The people of Wuzhixia admired him very much, thinking that he was a competent big brother, only he himself once said self-deprecatingly, "I have no children, no daughters, no fathers and no mothers, who will I leave the money to?" It's better to spend it together." Something like that.
There are also brothers who say that he disappears for a while every year during Qingming and can't find anyone, and everyone speculates that he went to sweep the tomb. It was at that time that the Leopard Bulge was picked up.
Now that I think about it, probably his family's cemetery is in a small city and township, so he picked up the Qiulin leopard that had fainted from hunger.
To be honest, Qiu Lin Leopard was also attracted by the bloodthirsty and reckless fantasies he described, and he couldn't help but imagine what he would say if he came to His Majesty.
Is it a bitter complaint about the injustice of this system? Or just scold?
But as the joy of imagination passed, the hill leopard could only smile bitterly.
They all have only imaginary capital. Because a person who has been a "deserter" can't get to the front of His Majesty at all, let alone have a position to scold, right?
He has never been a deserter.
Whether it was the death of the first emperor and the Rouran people going south to rob while the fire was burning, or the Liang State and the Qin State were eyeing each other and bullying him to invade at a young age, His Majesty, who had no heirs back then, has always been a person who is not afraid of war, and has been a person who is the first to take the lead in the expedition with a noble body.
The more Qiu Lin Leopard's head protruded, the more painful it became, on this day, he first fell out of love, and then was beaten by his brothers, and finally learned such a sad story that can be said to be a "lesson from the past", the mood was naturally very chaotic, and he tilted his head and fell asleep.
He Mulan carried him all the way into this village far away from Wuzhi Gorge, and under the guidance of others, he found the village chief who was kind and charitable, so that he could have a place to live temporarily.
He Mulan took two bags of corn and asked the village chief's family to boil some water and make some hot food for them. The village chief took it and handed it to his daughter-in-law, and then she took her daughter-in-law and began to work on the stove.
"I see you came from the front, you ran into a strongman, right?" The village chief is an old man of the Han nationality who is about fifty years old, his face is very kind, and his family should be relatively wealthy, the house is very large, and there is an empty place to dry things in front of the house and behind the house.
Poor families don't have anything to dry.
He Mullan knew that the sudden injury of the Woodland leopard was terrifying, so he had to nod.
"Hey, are those people on the mountain running out of food? They never robbed the people around them before." The village shook his head, "And hurt that young man like this. Nowadays, once you are hungry, you will become animals......"
He Mulan blinked, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, the village chief only complained when he saw the living people, and he also saw that He Mulan and the others were not ordinary people, although they did their duty to entertain guests, but they were not enthusiastic, and after his daughter-in-law brought the food and hot water, he drove his children and grandchildren back to his house.
He Mulan and Ah Danzhuo examined the wound of the Qiulin leopard, and put some medicine, estimating that it would take two or three days for him to be able to walk from this injury, and discussed whether to recuperate for him here, or simply buy a carriage in the village, and put the carriage back to the small city and township.
"Don't go back to the small city and township...... Qiulin Leopard, who had been awakened by Ardan Zhuo's action of taking medicine, suddenly said: "I was beaten like this, and my mother doesn't know what to be scared of. She is staying at home now, she knows what I'm doing and has to worry, when I get better, General Hua will send me directly to the military mansion."
"Is that okay? At least I want to see your mother, right?" Although He Mullan had always wanted Qiu Lin Leopard to correct her mistakes, but when it came time to confess her guilt, she still couldn't bear it.
"It's like this when you don't see it. My mother is timid, but she is resilient, no matter what kind of suffering, she can bear it, if I have a ...... in case" He also said uncertainly, "Yes, can I get through it......"
Ah Danzhuo scratched his face and opened his mouth to say something, but he still closed his mouth.
He originally wanted to say, "Otherwise, you better not go", but when he thought that the Qiu Lin Leopard had managed to muster up the courage to do so many things, it was definitely impossible to give up when the matter came to an end.
The so-called "killing to be benevolent" and "sacrificing life for righteousness" is to correct mistakes, not to send them to death.
Just as you don't necessarily die on the battlefield, exaggerating the "danger" is sometimes self-inflicted.
So, Edan Zhuo finally kept his mouth shut.
They rested at the villager's house for two days, and on the third day, the hill leopard was barely able to mount his horse on his own, so the group began to rush to the state military palace here.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, most of the local security in each state was the responsibility of the county soldiers, who were under the management of the Taishou Mansion.
But in the whole state capital, the military households and the skilled soldiers who could fight directly were managed by the generals' offices that opened the prefectures within the territory of the states. Each state has a Protector General, who is responsible for "supervising the Zhuhu, commanding the army, and managing the military households", and the state military government is subordinate to the Protector General's Office.
In fact, with Mulan's military exploits back then, it was actually possible to open a mansion and become a ". [,! ] General", has her own ministry and general's mansion, but she didn't continue to be a general, and secondly, she didn't agree to be a woman as a "Shang Shulang", but patted her ass back to her hometown, so the general's mansion is gone.
The state military government of the state is standing in Yanmen and Shangdang, Yanmen's is in Yanmenguan, and Shangdang's is in Huguan. Adanzhuo and He Mulan went from Huguan to Xiaoshi Township, and the way back was naturally familiar, and when they arrived at Huguan City, they did not stay, and directly took Qiulin Leopard to fight the Mazhou Military Government.
The state military office is not in the city, but in a spacious school field in the east of the city. The soldiers recruited by the state military government must be managed according to the needs of each army, and after receiving the military sticker, you only need to go to the military government to report where you are going, and then go to the military camp where you want to go with your own weapons and equipment.
Therefore, when the guards of the state military palace saw the three horsemen marching towards the military palace, they were full of doubts in their hearts.
Haven't you heard that there have been military posts recently? The last time the military post was issued was more than two years ago, could it be that these people are here to do other things?
The three of them, the big two and the young, got off their horses at the gate of the military mansion, and the young man at the back was covered with wounds all over his body, and his posture of dismounting was extremely strange, just like others had been riding horses on horses for a month. He stepped forward with his legs spread out in a strange posture, and said in a loud voice:
"The son of Qiu Lin Mo Zhen, a military household in the small city of Xiashangdang, escaped military service two years ago and wandered around, and now the military government has come to confess!"
A few guards at the door stupidly looked at me and I looked at you, and whispered to each other.
"Did you hear what he said? Skipped military service two years ago?"
"It's the same as the woman who came yesterday, is it her son?"
"I'll go inside and report, be careful not to let him go."
"You've all come to surrender, where will you run, you think too much!"
The Qiu Lin Leopard suddenly bent his fist for a long time, and then heard the guards whispering in an inaudible whisper for a long time, and then a young general who seemed to be a leader turned his head and entered the military palace and ran away.
Several of the other sergeants looked at the Leopard Bulge with pity and told him to get up first.
"It's you, and you're a worthy name for us. When our lord and military secretary talked about you back then, they hated you so much that their teeth itched, so you should ask for more blessings."
As soon as he said this, both Hermulan and Edan Zhuo's hearts sank.
Although surrender can be light, but the Qiulin Leopard Tudu has been on the run for two years before coming back, how this "light" should be judged depends on how the military officials judge.
In other words, the personal factor accounts for a large proportion.
After a while, the young general who went in to report the news came out, and he also brought a few wrestlers to rush in with the Qiu Lin Leopard, and He Mulan also wanted to follow up to see how things would continue, so he took out the rarely used seal letter from his arms and handed it to the young general led by him:
"I want to meet the lord of this place."
As soon as the purple ribbon gold seal came out, these soldiers were so shocked that their faces changed, and they couldn't give full salutes because they had armor on their bodies, but they still knelt on one knee.
"Mark/Last General and wait to meet the General!"
Although Hua Mulan has no official position, but the military merit is a medal, unless His Majesty personally cancels her lordship, erases her treatment and status as a "great general", and takes back the purple ribbon gold seal, otherwise as long as she is alive for one day, all the soldiers will still treat her as a general.
Although she has a meritorious position, she has no real position, if she wants to rely on this command to do something, it is in vain, everyone can not sell this account.
A general who may be promoted to the twelfth turn of military merit, even if he has no real post now, his relationship in the army must be intertwined, which one has a bad brain, will he offend a hero who has the merit of "the great general of the Shangzhu country"?
So sometimes, it's still very useful to have such an identity.
For example, He Mullan and Edan Zhuo were immediately treated as guests, and after a while, they still met the military commander here.
The military secretary here is very old, he looks like he is at least sixty years old, his beard is white, but his actions are relatively vigorous, and he has the air of a martial artist.
As soon as he arrived in the hall, he immediately knelt down on one knee, returned the purple ribbon gold seal, and saluted: "The last general will meet General Hua!" The last general is the military secretary of the state military government Wumeng Mountain, and the lord of the military government went to the general palace of the protector, and this place is temporarily under the command of the last general."
When He Mulan saw a man who was enough to be her grandfather kneeling on the ground, he took the seal letter uncomfortably, picked him up again, and said in a loud voice: "It was my presumptuous come, which has caused you trouble."
The military secretary was obviously a sociable person, and as soon as Mulan grabbed him, he got up and looked at Mulan carefully with his eyes, but he didn't see where she looked like a woman.
However, the seal letter will not be faked, and most people do not know what the golden seal of the twelve turns looks like, only the military government has a record in the atlas. In fact, this military secretary named Wumeng Mountain went to the atlas as soon as he got the things, and he never saw what the patterns on the gold seal should look like.
"Don't dare. I've heard from the doorkeeper in front of the door, I heard that General Hua is escorting the deserter from the Chulin family?" Wumeng Shan said with admiration: "General Hua is really a person who is both loyal and righteous, and he actually personally pressed the Qiulin Leopard and taught him a lesson like that......"
Belch?
Did he make a mistake?
Wumengshan thought that he knew some kind of truth, and began to talk endlessly.
"General Hua is a woman, and she still knows that the military order cannot be violated, she joined the army for her father, and she also made some achievements in the army. This hill leopard suddenly became a hero, but he didn't see anyone alive or dead back then, which attracted me. [,! The lord of the mansion was furious, and dragged down a number of military households. I knew that if General Hua knew about this, he would definitely not be able to spare this coward, but I didn't expect that General Hua actually came from Liang County, personally found this son, and sent it to the military mansion......"
His face was full of admiration: "It's just that General Hua taught this kid too much, and it's not good for us to beat him up again." Tsk, General Hua heard that he had personally trained soldiers back then, but he didn't expect this 'training technique' to be so skillful, and there were so many injuries on the body of the Qiulin Leopard, but none of them really hurt the vital points and muscles and bones, such a skilled technique, even if it was a criminal army in the army......"
"Wait, wait......" The more He Mulan listened, the more wrong he became, and interrupted loudly: "Don't you think that I injured the Castle Leopard?"
Wumeng Shan showed an expression of "who else injured him if you didn't hurt him", and then said clearly: "Yes, yes, General Hua will not teach the child a lesson, it is too ungraceful to do this. It must be that others can't get used to him, and others beat him! "
Seeing that the military secretary seemed to have decided on a certain result, He Mulan didn't bother to refute it, and Shan Zhuo wanted to laugh a little behind her, but held back his life.
The military secretary chattered for a long time as if he hadn't spoken to a living person for hundreds of years, "...... I will say that the attitude of the people of the Qiulin family has changed greatly, first yesterday a Wang family came, saying that it was all because of her that Qiulin Leopard Sudden Society escaped military service two years ago, and she came to confess the crime, and today Qiulin Leopard Sudden came in person, and the general labor came to the door. The lord of the mansion is not here, and this matter should have been handled by me......"
"I despised the son of this family yesterday, and it took two years for me to confess my guilt after doing something wrong, and I also introduced the substitution of my mother in the family, and now I look at it, probably there is another reason for it......"
"What? The Wang family came yesterday?"
"Why did Aunt Wang go out!"
"It's Wang! It was sent by someone from a small city and a village." After Wumeng Mountain responded, seeing that He Mulan and Ah Danzhuo both looked incredulous, he said blankly: "Why, the two of you don't know?" Yesterday morning, I came to our military palace to ask for guilt, and I didn't know what to do, so I had to detain her in the back office.
Hermulan didn't know what to do anymore.
Although Wang is ignorant and timid, she does not subjectively have harmful thoughts. The responsibility of the military government to "sit together" is the remnant of the previous tribal system, Xianbei people rarely escape military service, Wang may not have heard of it, or may have heard of it and forgot about it, and then his son escaped from the military government and began to "sit together", which panicked and fell into self-blame and remorse.
Although most of the fault for this regrettable incident lies with the Wang family, when it comes to internal causes, there is still a problem with the Xianbei system. In the past, it was a small tribe, and it was conscripted to fight according to the old method, and of course it was okay to appoint officials and knights, but now that the Great Wei has pacified the north and become a huge country, and if you come to this set, the people's grievances will only accumulate more and more.
On the one hand, He Mulan regretted the encounter with the Wang family and the Qiulin Leopard Tu, and on the other hand, he hoped that they could take responsibility and at least live innocently in this world, but neither the Qiulin Leopard Tu nor He Mulan had the idea of pushing the Wang family out.
Now the Wang family has come to "turn himself in" and blame all the blame for himself, which is really too unexpected for them.
The fact that the Wang family was able to go to the "opposite" Che family and leave the small city and run to this pot pass was a thing that could surprise them in itself.
"I don't know if I have time to ......" He Mulan pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "I want to tell the Wumeng Military Division about what happened in the Qiulin family."
"General Hua, please take a seat, and the last general will listen to me." Mount Umeng led Mullan to his seat, and he himself knelt down at his bottom.
"The first thing I want to say is that I didn't come here to intercede for the Leopard of the Woods, and I didn't come here because I wanted to send him to confess, he would come here, it was his choice alone. If you want to talk about 'desertion', you have to start a few years ago......"
He Mulan calmed down and told the reason why he came to the party, as well as what he saw and heard along the way, and the experiences of the Wang family and Qiu Lin Leopard in the past few years.
The military government is only responsible for managing the military households and government soldiers, and the story of all the men in the family who died in battle has already been heard too much, but the story narrated by He Mulan is not from his own body, but only a judgment made from the perspective of a bystander, so it can't help but be more thrilling and twists and turns.
When Hermulan said that the "eldest brother", the leader of the bandits in Wuthering Mountains, was also a military household who had escaped military service, Wumengshan couldn't help but let out an "ah".
The story continued, and gradually, the adjutant and the soldiers passing by outside the hall couldn't help but stop at the door and listen quietly......
Seven days later.
"Qiulin Leopard Burst, you have escaped military service, although you have surrendered, but according to the law, you will either serve seven years of hard labor in Shangdang County, build bridges and pave roads, and perform menial labor; Either go to the west and serve as a military slave, and kill the enemy for eighty years before you can regain your freedom, whether you become a lowly or a military slave, this military division can let you choose your own path."
On the school field of the military palace, Wumeng Mountain read out the verdict against Qiulin Leopard Tu in front of everyone.
The Che family's charioteer, as well as many relatives of military families in small towns and villages, were invited here to participate in this belated trial.
'Is it finally liberating?'
The bound Qiulin leopard suddenly knocked on the ground with his head and said in a deep voice: "The sinner is willing to go to the west to clear up his past mistakes with military exploits."
"Good! This is the bearing that my humble man should have! "
Wumeng Shan nodded heavily, took the paperwork on the side, and began to pick up the pen.
When Wang, who was kneeling on the side, heard his son's choice, he immediately burst into tears, crying uncontrollably, as if the sky had fallen
[,! ]
Neither Hermulan nor Ardan Zhuo were surprised by the choice of the Leopard Bulb in the Hills. With Hu Li's words, Qiu Lin Leopard will definitely want to redeem his mistakes in a dignified manner.
As a slave in the army, although most of the time he was used as cannon fodder, now there are fewer wars, and the wars are not big, and the danger is much less. But in other words, if you want to kill eighty enemies, it is far more difficult than when Mulan was a soldier, it is difficult to say whether there are hundreds of people in a battle, and if you want to kill eighty, you have to compete with the regular army for military merits.
But since he had chosen this path, He Mullan had no choice but to respect his decision.
When Shan Zhuo and the people in the small city heard that he chose to fight on the side, their eyes were full of complicated feelings. There are those who admire, those who gloat, and those who regret it.
People's hearts always tend to be good, and most of them don't want their children to suffer and die, and most of them can't bear to see other people's children suffer and die. Although there was hatred before, the mistake has been made, and his own children are not dead, but when he becomes a military slave, he is indeed dead.
They are all old neighbors for more than ten years, except for the Che family who suddenly had a holiday with the Qiulin Leopard, most of them are showing unbearable expressions.
"Qiu Lin Mo Zhen's wife, Wang's ......" Wumeng Shan paused and picked up another paperwork. You are the wife of a martyr, and you should be an example of a woman, but you instigated your son to escape military service. Remembering that you are weak in body, you will not be punished with corporal punishment, but sin will not be avoided......"
Wumeng Mountain glanced at the relieved Qiulin Leopard Tu, and then said: "You will be fined 1,000 grain bags, and they will be handed over to the military government within three months. During your conscription, the military government will ration food, and I hope you can serve with peace of mind, and don't be lazy."
The grain bags in the army are the kind of heavy bags made of burlap and arrowroot, and it is not easy to cut the coarse cloth into the size of a grain bag, and then sew it into a bag, and you can't make ten a day. Wang loves to cry, her eyes are sick, she can't even weave cloth, and now she has to sew grain bags, and she is not a woman who can endure hardships, and this work is not easy.
The Qiu Lin Leopard was suddenly entangled in his heart, and only looked at He Mullan with a pleading eye. Although Wang had been crying, he □ his son and wept: "The criminal pleads guilty and is willing to serve."
He Mulan nodded abruptly at the Qiu Lin Leopard, which meant that he would think of taking care of the Wang family. It is impossible for her to stay in the county magistrate of Shangdang, but she has enough money. It's really not okay, and it's not impossible to ask someone to do it.
After Wumeng Mountain finished judging the case of Qiulin Leopard Turbulence, he did not leave immediately, but ordered the soldiers of the government to hold a few military books and said loudly:
"I know that many people think that my Xianbei military system is too strict, since the first emperor, more than 20 years of continuous war, the desperate people do not know how many, but there are evil, I have to say ......"
Wumeng Mountain is sixty years old, and his voice is old, and at this time, everyone is engrossed.
"It has been nearly 60 years since the founding of the Great Khan of the Great Wei Dynasty. In the 60 years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there has not been a single day when I have not lived in the danger of destroying the country in an instant."
"To the north of ours was a creep more than a dozen times larger than ours, and we single-handedly resisted the invasion of the creep for eighty years, but the surrounding countries were not only not grateful, but they always took advantage of the creeping to move south. Our north is Worm, south is Qin, west is Hu Xia, Liang Kingdom, and east is Feng Yan. I think even in the past, there was no dynasty or generation that walked on thin ice like our Great Wei......"
"More than 60 years since the founding of the country, my Xianbei clan has established the world with martial arts, won many battles, and is not afraid of death, when it comes to Tuoba Wei in the north, all the countries are terrified, which of course has our Xianbei clan can fight well, but more because of the merit of the military households who put their men into the army with tears and desperately earned a place of respite. There is not an inch in the land of Wei that has not been exchanged for flesh and blood."
Wumeng Mountain gave a heavy salute to the military households in the school field.
The military households who came to participate in the desertion verdict were panicked and returned the salute, none of them expected that this old military secretary would say so much.
He Mulan also didn't know that Mount Umeng would say such a large amount of words after the verdict of the Leopard Burst in the hills. A few days ago, when she talked about what she had seen and heard about the military family, the old man had been silent.
He should be very proficient in human affairs, but because of this, he should feel more about these tragedies than others.
"In the past, the officials of the military offices in our various states could not help but cry bitterly as soon as winter came. When the farming is slack, it is often the time when the soldiers are used, and the worms will come south to rob us when the water and grass are not abundant in winter. At this time, there is no one to levy in the north, and the south is initially determined, which is far less than the population of the large households in the north."
"We go to send military stickers, isn't it both guilty and sad, we also have children and grandchildren, when there is no one to recruit, can we still have heirs? But if we don't completely destroy the strong enemies around us, we will always live in the shadow of the ruined country and the ruined family, just like Murong Xianbei who disappeared after the destruction of the country......"
"Will they die in battle, or will they be slaughtered like pigs and dogs after the country is broken, and our wives and daughters will be turned into slaves? As long as there is still the blood of a young man, he knows how to choose."
When Wang heard the words of the old military division, his crying gradually stopped, and he couldn't help wiping away his tears and sitting upright to listen.
"You may not believe it, although the army in the army, even if it is frail and sick, and the family is almost desperate, but the military government of our state has a record of the local military household, and will also deal with it as appropriate......" Wumeng Shan handed over several military books in his hand.
The military book is written by Chinese characters, most people don't understand Chinese characters, some people understand a little bit, and they can't see the pile of black and red things together after a few turns.
Someone remembered that Mulan was still here, and the military book was sent to He Mulan. [,! Go up and ask. She opened the military book and read it, and found that it was recorded in all the families of Shangdang County who had been conscripted.
The red letter is the remarks, which family has died, which family has a few in the army, which family has orphans and widows, the book is clear, it can be seen that the military government here is indeed attentive.
He Mullan pointed to these words and told them about the "humanity" contained in them, and some women who were full of emotions could not help but cry out when they heard that there were orphans and widows in a family.
The steaming blood, the graves of the battlefield dead, the stinging eyes of pain, have been turned into words and become the most powerful indictment.
Anyone who sees such a thing will feel that accusation.
How can it be said that no one is trying to change the injustice of this system? Since the human world has been suffering from overwhelming burdens, in the dark, there is naturally such a powerful □□ to heaven.
This kind of human suffering has made God unhappy, let alone mortals who are trying to change?
Wumeng Mountain bowed slightly to He Mulan, thanked her for her explanation, and continued:
"If there are frail people, there are more than three people in a household, the local military government will assign the new recruits to the safer rear barracks, and even if they arrive at the barracks, there are also military government offices in the barracks to manage the corresponding registers.
Wumeng Shan looked at the military families who showed a surprised look, and he was also very sad in his heart, he had served in the military government for more than ten years, and he didn't know how many Xianbei heroes he had sent away. These regulations, which were subtly changed later, were never recorded in any statutes, because this was a decision that was not conducive to the lack of staff in those years, and no one knows if it was really put forward in the right way, whether it would be impossible to find the possibility of "yin and yang violation" in the future.
He always felt that the bigwigs in the DPRK must have known about this "tacit understanding" between the military government, but he just chose to remain silent. Maybe it's too good for him, but as long as someone is silent, it means that they are doing the right thing.
"The system of our government soldiers is a continuation of the law of our ancestors, and the practice of Xianbei cannot be abolished, but there are still human favors outside the law, and this method of distribution has been done since we found that there are more and more casualties. In addition, it is not uncommon for the military to say that matchmakers are involved in marriage, and to change guards when there are enough people. It's just that because these violate the rules of the ancestors, the military government rarely publicizes them to the outside world, and the battlefield has no eyes, and sometimes even if it is properly arranged, not everyone can survive......"
'The law of deserters is a law that cannot be disobeyed, and cannot be changed by the military government.'
Hemulan thought.
Even the changes that the Wumeng Mountain Military Division is talking about today are interference that doesn't have much effect. Because there is really no one in front of the battle, the military camp behind may have been safe, and it will be on top later. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is better to send back a few more families than to do nothing. At least they've seen the problem and are quietly changing it in their own way.'
Wumeng Mountain thinks the same way.
"Times are different now, in the past we were surrounded by enemies and surrounded by countries that were stronger than us. But after decades of our war, all the soldiers and soldiers are in a hundred battles, and the countries are bullying us at will by virtue of their geographical advantages, but they don't know how to fight the horses, and as long as we wait for the war together, your majesty will give an order, and hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings can fight immediately.
He stood up, looked at Mullin, and continued:
"Now that the Great Wei has unified the north, there are no more big battles to fight. We sacrificed two or three generations of men, but in the end we swept away the north, leaving a breather for future generations."
"Maybe we look at the past and feel very cruel and ruthless, but people are in adversity, if they don't improve themselves, future generations have no chance to turn over. Our fathers died on the battlefield, our sons died on the battlefield, but our grandchildren, great-grandchildren, now don't have to follow the path we have walked."
"Although there are people who are desperate, most of them have survived and become stronger. I don't want to say whether the military government system is right or not, because that's a matter for the big people to consider, but as far as I'm concerned, I can watch the military stickers of the military government go from half a year, once a year, to thousands of copies, to now I don't need to send them once in two or three years, and the number of each time is only a few hundred, and my gratitude is so full that I can't even describe it."
"Therefore, even if there are many people who scold His Majesty for being ruthless and ruthless, a king who only knows how to fight, and think that the military government's forcible recruitment of strong men is a vicious thing to cut off children and grandchildren, I still deeply respect His Majesty, and I do not regret what I have done."
"There is no official position, which is more tasteless than the military position. Tearing up a complete family with his own hands and sending the male who is the pillar of someone else's home into the army is also a battlefield that keeps people awake at night. If we could, we would like to ...... more than you."
Wumeng Mountain smiled bitterly.
"There is a day when Dawei does not need a 'military government', a day when there is no need to use soldiers, and a day when there is no need for a woman to join the army for her father......"
"But before that, we won. Only those who have won the battle in the end have the right to say, 'We will live a peaceful life in the future.'"
The reason why Wumeng Mountain is saying such a long thing here is because he has reached the age of the fastidious.
He wasn't the military secretary of the military government in the state before, but the military government he served in was even worse than here. It was a place that was often attacked from the north and west, and the military government was busy every day, sometimes more people died in battle than those who were recruited, and the clerical hands in the military government had to be cut off every day, and some of them asked for support from the military government from all over the country, and some sent troops to the provinces. [,! ] letter, with a list of the last batch of war dead.
After so many years in the military government, no one can perceive the changes in the past few decades better than Wumeng Mountain. Military stickers are like reminders, but there are still fewer and fewer reminders after all.
This shows that more and more people survived on the battlefield, and the surrounding powers were like grinding discs, grinding all the people who were not strong enough, and the strong who remained raised stronger children, and under the survival of the fittest, the Great Wei was able to rise in the ruins of the Four Kingdoms.
The suffering of women and children will always pass. Great Wei produced a "Mulan", but after this Mulan, unless there is any danger of destroying the country, there will be no more.
Enough people have died.
When everyone walked out of the military palace, they all looked like they were shocked. Wumengshan's words are so straightforward that even the uninformed country women can understand them, but they have long been frightened by the military stickers that have been sent over the past few decades, so much so that some people have told them that "there will be no big battles in the future, and there are enough people in the army", few people can believe it, and they can't produce any sense of reality.
He Mulan remembered what some people had told her that Tuoba Tao wanted to suppress Liu Song when it didn't develop. She didn't know if Liu Song was also like the Great Wei, who was fed by the strong enemy back then, was desperately developing and self-improving, but at this time, the people's feelings had reached a verge of collapse, and at least for ten years, it was not suitable for the use of soldiers.
She wanted to tell what she had seen and heard along the way to the person who could make a decision, but she was afraid that her decision would break Mulan's hard-won peace.
In the end, all thoughts only turned into a sigh, and He Mulan picked up Wang on the ground and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back to your hometown first."
Qiulin Leopard Tu is still in the military government, he will be sent to the border of Liangzhou by the military government, Wang received a thousand military food bags of conscription, there will be a special baggage officer to send the materials to her house, let her make zuò, three months later.
Wang's tears never stopped, she wanted to cry at the thought of her son, but she didn't curse her fate next.
Maybe the qiē she experienced during this period of time made her also walk out of the golden wire cage and grow a little longer.
"I know it can be hard for you to live alone. I rescued a woman in Dongping County, surnamed Li, and her husband's surname was Zhang, who was also lonely and had a hard time living in the local area. I'll send a letter to my old friend there, and if she's willing to come and live with you, you can be each other's company. She can weave cloth, spin and make clothes, and she has a son, who is also Han, but I don't know ...... you."
"Hua Jiang has arranged all the military affairs for us, what am I not satisfied with? My house is very large, as long as she doesn't dislike my family for not having land, she can live as long as she wants." Wang lowered his head, "It's just that I'm a person without virtue......"
"The Churin family." A woman had already walked past them, and without knowing what she had in mind, lingered in front of them for a while, and then turned back." Those 1,000 sacks of military rations......"
She gritted her teeth: "I have a lot of women in my family, I'll go back and help you a little."
When the woman said this, she seemed to feel awkward, and immediately stomped her foot and ran away.
Wang was stunned by this sudden kindness.
"General Hua, did I hear it wrong, she ...... just now"
"Ah, you heard it right." Hermulan smiled.
She accompanied the Leopard of the Hill to twenty-three families, and this woman was the daughter-in-law of one of them, and Hermulan would never forget it.
She had also splashed a hill leopard with water.
"That's a good start. Lady Chulin, you need to be self-respecting and self-reliant in order to be respected by others. This is the first person, and later there will be a second, a third. You still have to wait to hold your grandson, you have to take care of yourself first......"
"Yes!"
Wang laughed while weeping.
"For so many years, I only live the most like a person today!".
He Mulan stayed in the small city and township for a long time, she settled the Wang family, and entrusted the upright old man who had always felt that she had "defiled" his old wife to buy two acres of fertile land for the Wang family, and set up the contract. She felt that two acres was enough, this woman couldn't plant too much land at all, even with the Zhang Li family who had recovered from his injuries, it was estimated that two acres would be enough for them to chew.
The people here are simple and fierce, and the women will spurn the uselessness of the Wangs, and at the same time scold and scold and bring back the burlap in bundles to their homes, and the next day they will bring sewn sacks.
The coarse cloth was piled up in the courtyard of the Chulin house by the people of the military government, and the amount of coarse cloth was enough to make a person with a phobia of density go crazy. Perhaps it was this mountain-like height that made the women of the village uneasy, and they came to help one after another.
Ah Shan Zhuo and He Mulan chopped a lot of firewood, and went to Qiu Lin Mo Zhen's grave to talk about the changes for a while, and when it came to the aftermath, He Mulan suddenly found that the peach blossoms in the village had actually bloomed, she and Ah Shan Zhuo said goodbye to the Wang family and prepared to continue to the north.
When she and Shan Zhuo left and cried with tears and misty eyes (oh my God, why did she cry so much), when they went to the small city and countryside, they met a strange woman who asked for directions.
Dressed in an ill-fitting leopard fur jacket and holding a four or five-year-old child in her hand, she walked in the direction of the small town.
When she saw Hermulan at the intersection, the woman smiled happily, saluted respectfully by the side of the road, and asked them for directions to the small town.
"Go straight in that direction......" Hermulan pointed with a whip, looked at her clothes and shoes, and frowned slightly. "Have you walked a long way?" That's it, it's not far anyway, we'll take you for a ride."
"Huh? No, no, no, I can go by myself, I can ......" The woman looked at He Mulan, who was immediately extraordinary, and waved her hand again and again: "I am a woman's family, and I can't ride a horse with a strong man......"
Heroes......
You can't ride a horse with a strong man......
Hermulan burst into tears.
In this life, I always open my mouth and bite you out of the eye.
Woowoowoo......
"I'm a woman, too, but I'm just walking as a man." Hermulan explained.
"This ...... It can't be ......"
The woman gave her a grotesque expression, thanked her for her kindness, and took the child by the way.
"You're still moving, are you kid moving?" Shan Zhuo suddenly spoke. I see his feet are already dragging on the ground......"
The woman's footsteps suddenly stopped, as if she had been cast a spell to immobilize her body, and she could not walk at all.
After a few moments, she turned around and gave a salute.
"…… I've thanked you for your kindness."
Hermulan and Edan Zhuo would help her, and not only because the woman and child in the hurry looked pitiful. He Mulan took the woman who sat on his side, and Adanzhuo took the child, and the two of them had three horses, and it was only half an hour's work to bring the woman to the door of the Chulin house, and then quietly left.
The woman was still grateful for the kindness of Hermulin, while the son beside her seemed to be still excited about the ride, and kept whispering words such as "drive" or "phew" in his mouth.
'What a nice guy......
The woman took her son's hand in embarrassment.
Although he said he was a woman, he ...... Ahem, how can there be a woman's ...... So wide ...... Forget it, just assume he's kind.'
"Let's go, Dog Bao'er, you must be good later."
The woman showed a somewhat worried look, gritted her teeth, but still took a step and walked forward: "This aunt, may I ask if there is a family surnamed Qiu Lin here......
"Aunt Hua, do you also see that the woman is wearing a leopard fur jacket?" Shan Zhuo asked her a little dumbfounded, "She is the ...... by the river."
"Ah, probably." He Mullan replied with a smile. He wore that leopard skin shirt because the Leopard Suddenly often wore it and ran around, and his mother must have seen it."
"Huh? She's not and the hill leopard protrudes already ......"
Isn't it that Lang has a concubine who has no intention? Why did the Leopard Suddenly run away with red eyes?
"I don't understand the relationship between men and women......" He Mulan sighed with some regret, "Maybe she regrets it, and she doesn't necessarily want to turn back?"
"It's a pity that Qiulin Leopard Tu has already gone to Liangzhou, this is ...... It's a shame."
Ah Dan Zhuo thought more and more regretful, whipped his horsewhip, and galloped. Aunt Hua, it's been delayed for another hour, let's go quickly, don't miss the stay! "
"Hmm." He Mullan grabbed the horse's belly and ran up without hurrying.
"Uh...... Aunt Hua, where are we going next?"
"Go to Heijo."
"What? Isn't that the rest of the place gone? Aren't you going to deliver things too?"
"I think you're right......" He Mulan remembered the experience of this time, and sighed: "People who can't let me go have already gone to Liangjun to find me, such as you. And if I let go, I should let go."
"Okay, let's go to Heijo. Drive! "
