18. Ask Mulan for help
He Mulan has never liked history, and the course of history can only be regarded as so-so, not to mention the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it may not be possible for you to let her recite the dynasties before the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
So a lot of times she was vague and treated this place as if it was a new place that she didn't know about at all.
When she first wore it, she heard the flower father talking to her about Xianbei, and she never thought of herself as "Mulan". There is still a difference between the Xianbei "Mulan" and the Chinese "Mulan". She always thought that her name was "Hermulan", and she was an old girl in her thirties who couldn't get married.
After the most headaches and cracks of the past few days, she absorbed some of Mulan's recent memories, and this was like an enlightenment.
It turned out to be the famous "Mulan"!
Therefore, listening to the names of those Lu Shuihu people with the language habits of a Han people, it is already remarkable to be able to accurately pronounce the sound of "Gaihu" without a Chinese accent.
Neither He Mulan nor Father Hua knew whether "Gai Hu Gai Wu" was a title or a name, but since she was a person with no name, she didn't think it was too much of a thing.
But it's this person who doesn't have a name for himself who really did a big thing.
- They kidnapped Cui Lin, the twelfth lang of the Cui family, who was staying in Yucheng.
Cui Lin is not Cui Hao's only grandson, Cui Hao has five sons-in-law, and there are countless concubines. Cui Lin is the youngest son of his second son, and because he has been smart since he was a child, he is quite favored by Cui Hao.
But he, like many of the children of the northern high families, did not become a prominent person. It is said that it is because Kou Tianshi once gave him an order, if he enters the court, the Cui family will be full of catastrophe, so although Cui Hao, who believes in the Heavenly Master, regrets it, he can only watch the most outstanding children of the third generation of his family idle every day.
Cui Lin can speak well and make a wide range of friends, plus he can't go out, and all forces have less scruples when they interact with him, and gradually Cui Lin has become a lobbyist and "spokesperson" of the Cui family, often going in and out of the place of the powerful. This time, he came to find Mulan, hoping to add another door to the Cui family by his own ability.
Cui Lin was robbed this time because of the incident caused by Emperor Wei Tuobatao's determination to suppress Buddhism.
Cui Lin's grandfather, Cui Hao, was the leader of the Great Wei Hanchen, and was also the most virtuous and respected person in the northern scholars.
Tuoba Tao's father originally intended to be Tuoba Tao's younger brother, and it was Cui Hao who fought for the reason of "standing long", so that Tuoba Tao became the prince, and then he ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and Cui Hao has also been loyal to the emperor until now.
There has always been friction between the Xianbei nobles and the high gates of the Han people in the north, because Tuoba Tao respected Cui Hao and always played a coordinating role in it. But in recent years, Cui Hao has frequently proposed the policy of "suppressing Buddha", which directly ignited the anger in the chests of the Hu nobles.
Xianbei nobles and most of the alien Hu people are believed in Buddhism, Xianbei people have believed in Buddhism for a long time, if it is not for the emergence of a Kou Qianzhi "Kou Tianshi" from nowhere to attract Tuoba Tao to believe in Taoism, and even changed the name of the country to "Taiping Zhenjun", I am afraid that the Great Wei Dynasty to the monarch, down to the people, will believe in Buddhism.
The more turbulent the era, the more popular Buddhism became.
The reason is that Cui Hao had built a decree that the Wei Emperor ordered monks under the age of fifty to return to the laity.
Cui Hao made this mentions, not only because he believed in Taoism, but also because of the Great Wei Dynasty, many men who were unwilling to serve in the military converted to Buddhism.
They support the Buddhist temple with the strength of the whole family, do not have to pay taxes, do not have to serve in the military service, and live in the Buddhist temple at a young age, but there is a large amount of cultivated land outside the Buddhist temple that no one can plant, so they can only let it be abandoned.
When it came time to fight, these men of the right age could not be drafted, so they had to use old or young men to fight, causing great resentment among the people.
Tuoba Tao listened to Cui Hao's construction and ordered the monks under the age of fifty in various temples to return to the laity in order to fill the military service and conscription. Naturally, this intention caused a backlash from many monks, some of whom fled to the homes of believers who were willing to shelter themselves to continue to be his monks, while others fled to wild temples and deserted temples in the mountains to escape and return to the world.
In order to hide these monks, many Xianbei nobles were willing to take out their private estates to support them.
In order to implement the policy of "retiring monks and returning to the world" more quickly, Tuoba Tao "invited" the three senior monks of the Great Wei Buddhism Sect to close Moluo, Shi Yuanjia and Tan Yuan as hostages, and forced the monks of each temple to return to the world immediately.
Tight Moro later "sat down" in the palace.
Tan Yuan and Sha Yuanjia are still trapped in the palace today.
This group of Lu Shuihu people, who don't know whether they were hired or because of their beliefs, followed Cui Lin all the way from Heijo in Kyoto to this place, and finally kidnapped Cui Lin when he left Youfu to visit friends.
Tuoba Tao locked up the three high monks, and Lu Shuihu robbed the grandson of Cui Hao, who persuaded Tuoba Tao to destroy the Buddha, in exchange for the two monks of Shiyuanjia and Tanyuan.
People who believe in Buddhism simply hate the Cui family, this Cui Lin falls into their hands, whether Tuoba Tao is willing to change people or not, they will have to suffer a lot.
This qiē is all said by the county order who has come to Huajia for help
A few days ago, after He Mulan got the news from the two rangers, he asked his younger brother and a few men from the same township to escort the two thieves to Yucheng County.
Thanks to those Yu Linlang who wrote letters to the villagers, there are now many villagers and flower brothers in Yingguo Township who are moving around diligently. Some people are curious about the heroine of the Hua family, and some of them are curious and will go to inquire about Mulan's past. [,! It became respectful, and occasionally Mulan got up, and she could find a basket of vegetables or something at the door of her house.
These people pressed the anti-captured rangers who couldn't steal to go to the Yucheng County Ya, but the county order was not in the county Ya, and the county Yali was also in chaos. When Hua Mutuo asked, it turned out that You County Ling went to the Taishou Mansion in Liang County, so he had to hand over the two unlucky guys to the head of the county office, leave the "incident book" written by He Mulan, and go home obediently.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, the county order came, and he also brought a soldier from the Taishou Mansion of Liang County.
"You mean, the Lu Shuihu people are now stationed in the Wishing Temple outside Yucheng?" He Mulan wondered. He's kidnapped people, and he's even smiling at you, where are they?"
"They want to exchange Brother Huai Jin for the two masters, Shi Yuanjia and Tan Yuan, naturally they want to attract the attention of as many people as possible. What's more, Huai Jin is still in their hands, and no one dares to act without permission......"
"I see." He Mullan nodded in understanding.
"I'm here because I heard that General Hua has been in contact with the thief leader." You Ke's official uniform was wrinkled, and he obviously hadn't cleaned up his appearance for several days." I heard the ranger in Yucheng say that the thief leader is not defeated by General Hua, can it be true?"
"He didn't fight me, and after twenty moves I destroyed his weapon, and he immediately fled, because I don't know his true strength." He Mullan conservatively estimated, "If he shows the strength to go head-to-head, I am about eighty percent sure."
Hua Mulan has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she has a strange power, she doesn't know any exquisite swordsmanship, whether it is bow and arrow archery, or sword dancing and spear, she is all practiced little by little, only proficient.
"Great goodness!"
You Xian Ling hurriedly shook He Mulan to the ground." Please also ask General Hua to help me rescue Brother Huai Jin! "
He Mulan picked up the county order and said neatly: "How to do it, you say."
"Huh?" You Ke looked up almost in shock.
So easy to say yes?
Didn't Cui Lin say that this flower general didn't have a good attitude towards him?
"Maintaining social order, protecting the personal safety of citizens, and personal freedom are our ......" He Mulan said a slogan very fluently, and then "snapped" and slapped his head.
"What kind of stupidity am I making, and I don't ...... to reporters"
She laughed a little, muttered a few words that You Ke couldn't hear, and immediately said to You Ke seriously: "Although it's none of my business that Lu Shui robbed Cui Lin, but as far as this matter itself is concerned, it is an unrighteous act. Cui Lin and I also have a relationship, as for that Gai Wu, he can't steal and oppose me with murderous intent, so naturally he is not a good kind. I'm willing to help you once."
She has a very good impression of You Ke, although Cui Lin is annoying, but that Lu Shuihu guy Gai Wu is even more disgusting.
"General Hua is righteous, You will remember it in his heart!" You Ke was overjoyed and immediately said his thoughts one by one.
Speaking of Lu Shuihu, we have to talk about a strange custom of this people.
The Lushuihu people are brave and good at fighting, and since the Han Dynasty, they have been active in various major battles.
In the Han Dynasty, the court of the Han Dynasty had hired Lu Shuihu people to fight for a long time, but sometimes there would be cases where both the enemy and the enemy hired Lu Shuihu at the same time, and the Lu Shuihu people had to kill each other, so over time, there was a rule in Lu Shuihu:
- 'If the two sides are at a stalemate and cannot solve the problem by force, the leaders of both sides fight three times in a row, and if either side wins all three games, the loser will retreat, and the winner will retreat three miles.'
This rule makes the Lushuihu people, although unruly, rarely take the initiative to conflict with people. Especially when facing the brave, if you blindly make an enmity with someone, your enemy may deliberately find fault with you and challenge you every time you need to win.
Don't make a grudge against someone who can win you three times, because you may lose your life to him. (Note)
Gai Wu came to steal Mulan's belongings, probably because he temporarily saw the wealth after listening to the ranger's words. After all, the Lu Shuihu people lived in poverty, and they were not good at farming, and they were just "mercenaries" to earn a living.
Na Gai Wu was afraid that he was quite confident in his martial arts before, but after fighting with "Mulan", he found that he was not an opponent, and he was unwilling to make enemies, so he left as soon as he was defeated and no longer entangled
He Mulan was riding the "Yue Ying" at the moment, wearing the "Rock", and You Ke went to Yucheng together, and after listening to You Ke and the Bing Cao's explanation, he couldn't help but be impressed by Lu Shuihu's rules.
This is a model of mercenaries in later generations, as soon as he looks at money, his life is kept to make money, and if he can not make enemies, he will not make enemies. Die to the death of the leader, never break up the team.
It seems that this young guy Wu is still a not simple character. can use dozens of people to rob Cui Lin, he should still be a delicate person.
"I don't even know this rule, I can't imagine that Master You is well-informed, and even knows the customs of the Lu Shuihu people."
He Mulan really admires this county magistrate, he moved around to rescue soldiers for his friends, and even thought of this rule, I have to say that Cui Lin made a good friend.
It will take ten days from Yucheng to Pingcheng at the earliest, and it is not known how much Cui Lin will suffer at that time, rather than thinking about whether the two monks in Beijing will exchange Cui Lin, it is better to think of saving people first.
Seeing that he went to the Taishou Mansion, he should have gone to move the rescuers. It's just that this soldier looks reluctant, and the role he can play in rescuing the soldiers is limited.
"I'm ashamed, I learned this from my cousin. He lived in Quang Binh. [,! There are many Lu Shuihu people, and when I was young, I saw the two leaders of Lu Shuihu fighting, and the result was determined by competition. One day we were chatting and he had inadvertently told this story. Cui Lin had an accident a few days ago, and I immediately remembered it."
You didn't admit this compliment, and honestly said that he also heard it.
"You don't have a bad memory, you have a flexible brain, and you're much better than most people."
"General Hua praises. I have the heart to save people, but I have no choice but to ask General Hua."
"It doesn't matter." Hermulan laughed self-deprecatingly. I'm here, and I don't have anything else to ......."
"…… It's just that it can fight."
