237 Defend the Yellow River

What should have been said has already been said, Zhang Mingwei did not stay in the prisoner camp anymore, he still has a lot to do.

After returning to the Chinese military tent, Zhang Mingwei said to Zhu Yujiao: "In addition to the good news, I also want to write a secret note to Your Majesty, I said, you write." ”

Zhu Yujiao listened, smiled, immediately agreed, and hurriedly went to prepare.

It was not until the next day that the army set off and marched south of the Yellow River to Kaifeng City.

When he arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, I don't know why, Zhang Mingwei's mind immediately remembered the song "Defending the Yellow River", which was a very classic in later generations.

Seeing the high morale of the army crossing the Yellow River, he had an idea, pondered in his heart, and made a decision.

So, he turned to the generals beside him and said, "Are you interested in listening to me sing a song?" ”

"......" When Zhou Yuji and the others heard it, there were a bunch of question marks on the door of their heads. Guogong singing?

Before they could react, Zhu Yujiao heard it, and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Okay, good!" ”

Hearing his words, the others reacted and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Since Guogong has this Yaxing, of course, it is the best, who can object?

In case the Guogong does not sing well, everyone must applaud loudly, and do not spoil the interest of the Guogong!

They thought so in their hearts, and at the same time looked forward to it, what kind of song did Guogong want to sing?

Among them, Zhu Yujiao has the greatest sense of expectation. Because she was the only one who had heard Zhang Mingwei sing a song, she liked it very much. Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingwei took the initiative to sing today, of course she was desperate, and because of this, she reacted the fastest.

Zhang Mingwei brewed his emotions a little, and then, Le Ma stopped, sat on the tall horse, pointed to the Yellow River, pointed to the army crossing the river, and sang loudly.

The wind is howling

The horse is howling

The Yellow River is roaring

The Yellow River is roaring

The hills of Hexi are thousands of feet high

Hedong Hebei sorghum is ripe

There are really a lot of thieves and heroes in the mountains

The officers and soldiers in the green gauze tent are heroic

He picked up his spear and musket

Wielding a broadsword and spear

Defend your hometown

Defend the Yellow River

Defend North China

Defend the whole Ming

He changed the lyrics slightly, but it didn't affect his ability to sing smoothly.

Hearing his song, everyone waited, even Bai Guangen, a group of uneducated old people, and they were stunned.

It's not that the song has magic and shakes them up. It's the song sung by the national government, which is very appropriate.

They were on the side of the Yellow River, and they had won a great victory in the past two days, and they were also ambushed by hiding in the green gauze tent. They are suppressing thieves, aren't they just defending the Ming Dynasty and protecting the well-being of the people! Sing their righteousness again!

Secondly, of course, the song is catchy and easy to remember.

No, Zhu Yujiao just listened to it once, and then hummed it.

While singing, his eyebrows are dancing, as if he has eaten the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and he has never eaten something delicious in his life.

The generals were fortunate to not only listen to the song of Guogong, but also hear Princess Kunxing sing.

It wasn't until Princess Kunxing finished singing that they listened to it a second time, and then Zhou Liu applauded: "Okay, this song is so good!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuji and the others came back to their senses, and hurriedly echoed loudly and praised it.

"Guogong, this song is really the best song I've ever heard!"

"Yes, yes, it turns out that the song can still be sung like this, it's really good!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's so good, I love listening to it!"

“……”

A group of old men, most of whom are illiterate, don't know how to express themselves, and when they say it, they just repeatedly say "it's too good", and there is no novelty at all.

Zhang Mingwei looked at them and said with a smile: "Come, you guys come and try?" ”

"......" As soon as they heard this, Zhou Yuji and the others couldn't help but be dumbfounded, we also sing?

However, their interest is also high, not only is this song sung by Guogong, but Princess Kunxing has sung it, and this song is actually singing about their great victory, the purpose of their war.

Although he wanted to sing, Zhou Yuji said a little embarrassed: "Guogong, I don't remember!" ”

"yes, I forgot a few words too!" Yuan Shizhong also replied.

However, Wu Sangui and Lan Tianbao replied in unison: "I remember!" ”

Hearing their different answers, Zhang Mingwei's interest was also high, so he said with a smile: "Come, then let's sing it together, no, just sing along!" ”

So, under his leadership, the group of them sang together.

Zhu Yujiao was embarrassed to sing loudly, but she couldn't help it, and hummed along with the low voice.

In the middle, those who don't bother to forget the lyrics and fill up the numbers indiscriminately, of course, the lyrics are really simple, and several people remember them at once.

When there are many of them, the sound of singing is a bit loud.

The officers and soldiers who were marching suddenly heard the Guogong and the generals singing, and they looked very cheerful, and they couldn't help but turn their heads one by one to look over, which was very strange. So much so that one accidentally hits the front from behind, which is a bit chaotic for the team.

After singing, Zhang Mingwei smiled and asked, "Can you sing?" ”

Those who can sing will naturally answer immediately that they can sing. And those who forgot the lyrics were embarrassed to say it, so they quickly nodded and continued to count them.

Seeing this, Zhang Mingwei said with a smile: "Since you will be able to do it, then you go back to your respective armies, teach this song to your subordinates, let everyone sing it, and let everyone know that we are defending the country and opening peace in the world!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Wu Sangui and the others hurriedly agreed, this is also an elegant thing, singing in the army, not only can they praise the national prince, to be honest, they also feel that it is definitely good for the morale of the army, especially the soldiers who have just been integrated into the team.

Those who are indiscriminate are a little dumbfounded. But I didn't dare to show it, after all, I took the lead just now. When you go, ask the guards around you if you remember, if not, then you can only find a colleague who can sing in private!

Zhu Yujiao watched them leave, and couldn't help but say to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, this piece is really excellent, I want to send it to Jingshi immediately, let Chen Yuanyuan publish it in "Ming Pao", and let Jingshi also sing it." ”

Of course, Zhang Mingwei had no opinion on this, and immediately nodded and agreed.

So, Zhu Yujiao immediately chose a guard who could sing, asked him to enter Beijing immediately, sing this song to Chen Yuanyuan, and let Chen Yuanyuan spread it widely in Beijing.

About half an hour later, from the various armies to the present, all the soldiers are marching and singing "Defending the Yellow River".

The wind is howling, the horses are howling......

The majestic singing echoes in the sky above the Yellow River. It can be clearly felt that the morale of the army has increased because of this song.

………………

Besides, on the side of Kaifeng City, the defenders at the head of the city have been paying attention to the movements of the thieves outside the city, especially on the side of the Yellow River in the north, and there are even more people staring at them.

They all wanted to know, what was the result of such a big attack by the thieves?

Usually, when the thieves do not attack the city, most of the Henan patrols who handle official business in the city are the royal history of the famous Heng, and they all go up to the city several times to look at the north.

Of course, the guard Chen Yongfu knew what he was thinking, but he estimated that Master Gao would be disappointed.

When he saw the thieves rushing out of the camp and heading north, he knew that this was definitely not good news for them.

When the thieves come back, they may return to Kaifeng City to show off their might. If you don't do well, you can escort Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen, who came to the city before, or take their corpse heads, etc., to hit the morale of the Kaifeng defenders and force the Kaifeng city to open the door and surrender.

The thief army is strong, it has become a climate, and there is no hope in sight! Chen Yongfu thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but feel very heavy in his heart.

When night falls, the head of Kaifeng Mansion will certainly not lose vigilance because there are fewer thieves outside the city and there is no siege. Chen Yongfu, as a guard, is still guarding the city and sleeping in the arrow tower.

Not to mention, in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened: there was movement outside the city.

So, he immediately observed the direction from which the movement outside the city was coming from. Just a little listening, he could tell that there was movement in the thief camp.

In the dark night, there were no torches on the other side of the Yellow River, so I didn't know the situation at all. However, he could feel that there was probably movement over there, all the way to the thief camp.

What's going on? Chen Yongfu thought so in his heart, so he immediately ordered the defenders on duty at the head of the city to be vigilant. Then, his eyes widened, trying to see what was going on outside.

Of course, the general who led the troops to fight was naturally no stranger to the movements in the army, and after listening to it for a while, he remembered the movements of the thieves yesterday, and he was a little surprised to find that it could be that the thieves were defeated and fled back overnight?

After getting this conclusion, Chen Yongfu felt that this was unrealistic and that it was his own wishful thinking.

Because he knew that the thief army not only dispatched more than 30,000 people yesterday, but they also left a lot of troops on the north bank of the Yellow River to deal with Wu Sangui and them. With Wu Sangui's little strength, even if they won the battle, it would be impossible to defeat several times the enemy so quickly.

When did the imperial court officials and troops have such a great victory? This is not in the early years of Chongzhen!

Denied this idea, Chen Yongfu felt a pang in his heart, could it be that the thieves were taking advantage of the night to deploy troops, or did they deliberately create this illusion to lure Kaifeng City to open the door and pick up cheap?

Thinking so, he immediately ordered the whole army to be vigilant and prevent thieves from stealing the city.

Chen Yongfu himself did not go to rest again, but kept listening to the movements outside the city.

When it was dawn the next day, when he could see the situation outside the city, he was dumbfounded.

I saw that the camp of thieves outside the city was already empty, and I didn't see the thieves at all. Did they run away in the night last night?

Why?

Is there a deception in it?

Chen Yongfu couldn't understand what was going on, so he hurriedly sent someone to report the situation to Gao Mingheng.
