Chapter VIII

On the seventh day of the fourth month of the 31st year of Hongwu, Shen Baihu, who was under the secret order of King Yan, set up camp under the command of Zheng Qianhu of Kaiping Wei. The knights who went to Kaiping with him were also divided into the army. One person is the general flag, nine people are small flags, half of the infantry soldiers under his command, half of the cavalry, jackets, weapons, and war horses are allocated on the same day, and the work efficiency of the relevant people in the health office has successively refreshed the records of the division.

It can be seen that the back of the big tree is good to enjoy the shade, and the power of the word Yanwang is great.

Zheng Qianhu was originally a hundred households of Kaiping Zuotun Wei, and he was able to be promoted to the position of a thousand households, because of the 29th year of Hongwu with King Yan to conquer the desert in the north, and he made many meritorious contributions.

In a sense, Zheng Qianhu stepped on King Yan's ship, and Commander Wei ordered Xu Zhong to arrange Shen Xuan and his party to him, not without considering marrying King Yan.

His Majesty is old and has been bedridden for a long time. The grandson is young, the vassal kings are in the prime of life, and the king of Yan, the king of Ning, the king of Jin, etc., is even more brilliant, and the sound shocks the northern Xinjiang.

Once His Majesty is in power, the grandson is weak and the kings are strong, if there is no dissent, it is okay, if ...... If you marry the king of Yan, or the family of Fuyin, you may also be full of trouble.

Zheng Qianhu was excited, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to think about it again.

On the tenth day of the first month of April, Mengjiatun, which is less than 300 miles away from Kaipingwei, stood at the entrance of the tun wearing a red jacket and a wooden plaque hanging from his waist, saying goodbye to his family and clansmen.

Meng Wangshi took Meng's hand, and the words of entrustment seemed to be endless, and the two sisters-in-law stood behind Meng Wangshi, looking at the uncle who was about to travel away, and his eyes were red. Third Sister Meng dragged the corner of Meng's clothes, and Fifth Sister Meng simply hugged Meng's thigh, crying until she hiccuped.

"Twelve Uncle ......"

Looking at the people in the family, Meng was embarrassed.

Moved to be moved, but he just went to join the army, not to die.

Does it need to be like this?

Meng Chongjiu and several clansmen also saw him off on the side of the road. The clothes and dry food that the clansmen paid for were tied to the back of a horse, and the reins were held in the hands of a tall young man, who was the second grandson of Meng Chongjiu, with a single name and a tiger character, three years older than Meng, but he was not ranked according to the Qing characters in the clan, just because his father was a son-in-law, and his surname was originally Chen.

Don't look at Meng Hu is only seventeen years old, but he is tall and has long legs, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his rugged masculinity is full of eyeballs.

Such a figure temperament is completely someone's dish. But standing in front of him, Meng felt sore teeth and couldn't have any other thoughts, not because Meng's bottom line suddenly improved, but because Meng Hu was too "upright".

Referring to the main theme movies of later generations, this is definitely a tall and complete character holding an explosive bag, blocking the machine gun hole in his chest, and shouting at his comrades to rush forward.

In contrast, Meng is more like a XXX reactionary hiding in a trench brandishing a small pistol and letting the brethren rush forward.

With such a decent person by his side, Meng felt a lot of pressure, unusually great.

He really couldn't figure it out, why could Meng Lao Fox raise such a grandson?

Could it be that the old fox is also because this grandson is too radiant, and he wants to take this opportunity to send him away from afar, and he can sell himself a favor by the way?

Meng was reluctant to "smear" the image of his uncle in his mind, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this was the most likely.

Looking back at Meng Qingjiang, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, well, he admitted that he proposed to let Meng Qingjiang "follow the army" just to embarrass Meng Guangxiao, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so happily, and the time to think about it was less than five minutes.

Meng just mentioned Meng Qinghai twice, and Meng Guangxiao acted as if Meng Qingjiang was not his own, but picked up.

This made Meng, who wanted to be a bad guy, quite unfulfilled.

The so-called embarrassment, if you can't achieve the desired effect, there is no point.

However, there are many strong men on the road, which is not a bad thing. As for what Meng Qingjiang will do in the future, it all depends on him. As long as he doesn't violate the bottom line, he won't deliberately embarrass Meng Qingjiang.

It can be seen that he is still quite kind.

Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end.

Meng ruthlessly pulled away Fifth Sister Meng, who was holding her thighs, Little Lori's eyes were like walnuts when she cried, Meng's eyes were also a little sour, and she gently stroked the heads of Third Sister Meng and Fifth Sister Meng, her voice was a little hoarse, "Third sister, Fifth sister, do you still remember the agreement with Uncle Twelve?" Wait, Uncle Twelve will do what he says, and he will definitely let the third sister and the fifth sister wear gorgeous clothes and brocade, and ten miles of red makeup! ”

Meng Xu and Meng Zhang cried again, Meng bowed and saluted Meng Chongjiu, without saying a word, Meng Chongjiu had already understood his entreaty, and stretched out his hand to help him up, "Don't worry, Uncle Jiu will live up to his trust." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Nine."

After saluting several clan elders one by one, Meng pounced and knelt in front of Meng Wang's clan, kowtowing three times in a row, "Mother, my son is gone!" ”

"My son will become a great weapon," Meng Wangshi didn't cry anymore, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother is waiting for you to return at home!" When that day comes, your father will be able to smile at Jiuquan! ”

Meng stood up, didn't have time to dust off his clothes, turned around and left.

Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang followed behind him, and Meng Wang's family stood in place until the backs of the three disappeared, and then they were supported by their daughter-in-law to return home.

At this time, Meng Guangxiao, Meng Guangshun and others were all bedridden, and while drinking medicine, they hated to pierce nails and smoke the soles of Meng's villains.

The reason is very simple, not long ago, Meng went to the homes of several cousins every three or five days, closed the door and asked for warmth, and every time he could bring home a few copper coins.

Meng Guangxiao and the others gritted their teeth and stuffed the treasure money and copper coins into his hand, laughing more ugly than crying.

Don't charge? Absolutely not! Pay back? No, no!

As long as Meng Shishilang is alive, don't think about fighting with the Tartars all day long, and don't be hot-headed and write anything to the Great Order, "Meng's boys are thinking about killing the enemy and serving the country" is more important than anything else!

Given by the elders, it is impossible to resign.

Meng Shishilang is a filial child, so he naturally wants to fulfill the benevolent name of the cousins. As for whether Meng Guangxiao and the others will vomit three liters of blood, it's none of his business.

Compared with the land property that was taken away by a few cousins, these treasure notes and copper coins are only a fraction, but for Meng Wang and others, they are enough to support a year's life. Similarly, with Meng's publicity, the reputation of Meng Guangxiao and others in Tunzi has also improved, but Meng Qinghai, who is in school, is still excluded, but he still participated in the college examination with a fearless spirit and was admitted to the student. Of course, that's an afterthought.

The family's big house was not sold, and three acres of dry land were handed over to Meng Chongjiu's eldest grandson to cultivate. This was decided after Meng discussed with Meng Wang's family, Meng Chongjiu helped him so much, the other party didn't mention it, but Meng couldn't help but take it to heart.

Human relations are also a science after all.

Before leaving, Meng also did one thing, he handed over two Confucian classics and notes that he had copied from his home to the elders of the clan.

"In order to avenge the revenge of my father and brother, abandon literature and follow the military, these are useless, it is better to entrust them to the clan and send them to the children of the clan."

In Meng's opinion, he can memorize the content of the book backwards, and this move is just to give away things that he can't use, and by the way, make a good fate. Yu Meng's people are a great thing. Books are already rare, not to mention the notes written by Meng Shishilang. He was admitted to the Tongsheng exam, if he hadn't been kicked out of school, he would have been able to pass the exam.

The elders of the clan are the masters, and the matter is written on the wooden plaque and enshrined in the ancestral hall to show the virtue of Meng Shilang.

When He Xianling heard this, he praised Meng's personality and felt a little sorry for him for no longer taking the imperial examination.

"This son is really rare."

Within a few days, Meng Shishilang's reputation became even worse. If it weren't for the fact that he is now a military household and is in filial piety, I am afraid that the matchmaker can step on the threshold of the Meng family.

Meng was a little embarrassed, didn't he just send a few books and do a good deed?

In the final analysis, Meng is not familiar enough with the Ming Dynasty, and he does not know enough about what "reading" represents in this era.

When he really understood the meaning behind this incident, it was already a few years later, and by that time, the children of the Meng family, but those who took the road of the imperial examination, would be grateful for the Twelve Lang, that is, Beiping Mansion and even the future Beizhili, and they also knew the allusion of "Twelve Lang Gift Books".

The so-called intentionally planted flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planted willows and willows into the shade, Gai Mo is so.

Leaving Mengjiatun, Meng went all the way north, and he and twelve men in the same lane were sent to Kaipingwei and other places to Shutun.

Except for him who took the initiative to join the army, the rest of the people were all people who were hooked up or followed. He was accompanied by a few messengers and two military attachés, and when they left Beiping Mansion, there were more than 20 more people in the team.

With five or six dough cakes and half a cooked chicken, Meng Chenggong and two poor people called him brothers, and also found out the origin of most of the latecomers from his mouth.

"Criminals are in the army." A messenger wiped the oil from his mouth and pointed to a middle-aged man who was sitting on the side of the road resting, "Look, no, the former military department Arsenal Shiro, the official of the fifth grade, now, hey!" ”

Meng suddenly, the top boss of the top boss, no wonder this person's expression is so obscene.

Being an official in the early Ming Dynasty was indeed a precarious thing. The so-called killing of officials is not stopped, the destruction of doors is endless, and the fierce cases of the same list of Jinshi are all in one go, and it is estimated that they can only be seen in the Hongwu Dynasty.

The Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War is in charge of military registration, weapons, and martial arts. Mukushiro is a fat poor in the middle and has a higher danger index. It's not surprising to see one here.

After a short break, the team continued on its way.

The scenery along the way gradually became different, and the wind seemed to smell the smell of large patches of grass.

The inspection of the pipe chuck check in the main road section has also become extremely strict, even if there are poor people to accompany them, Meng and others have tooth cards with them, and the inspection is still meticulous to check the official documents.

In later generations, the police checked the household registration, and it is estimated that they were not so serious.

After Chengde, the team was separated again, and most of the soldiers who were recruited for military registration were destined for Xinchengwei, and more than a dozen criminals were sent to Quanningwei. Meng went to Kaipingwei with the unlucky former military department Muku Shilangzhong.

Why did he get the same treatment as a convict and be sent to the far north of the border?

It is reported that it was because Chen Heng, the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Government, intervened in the issue of Meng Shishilang's "distribution".

The way the warrior thinks about the problem has always been direct, killing the Tartar and avenging his father, of course, he has to go to the place where he can see the Tartar.

Chen Heng did have good intentions, but Yu Meng didn't know.

Before nightfall, Meng and his entourage finally arrived in Longhua.

After days of hurrying, even if there is a horse to walk, Meng can't bear it. The former military department Arsenal Shiro was in good spirits, in the gap that no one could see, staring at the bag of Meng's dry food with green light, his palms were clenched, and his bones clicked, with the intention of getting up and snatching it.

Looking at the green eyes, Meng had a bad premonition, and hurriedly took two big steps back, not forgetting to play the spirit of helpfulness halfway, and kicked Meng Qingjiang, who was a little closer, out of the air. It's just that the direction of the kick is a little wrong, Meng Qingjiang crossed a graceful arc in mid-air, and pounced directly in front of Lord Langzhong, and under the action of inertia, the back of the head of Lord Langzhong successfully hit the ground.

I don't know if there is bleeding or not, and a big bag is swollen for sure.

When the messenger who solved the problem of the reincarnation of the five grains came back, he saw such a scene.

Meng took the first step to cover Meng Hu's mouth and laughed dryly, "Don't misunderstand, my cousin admires the outstanding martial arts of the former Langzhong, and after learning, it is inevitable that the horse will miss and the person will miss the hoof......"

Within a radius of five miles, there was instant silence.

Before Meng Qingjiang could stand up, his back molars were already creaking.

Meng, Meng Twelve Lang, Lao Tzu and you are incompatible!
