Chapter Thirty-Six: The Husband of the Poor Son and the Husband Write to ask for recruitment
Congratulations to the young book, congratulations to the young book! The big wedding is coming, and the little one is pregnant. Young people, double happiness, double happiness! ”
Xin Er is also very happy.
In the past and this life, this is his first child.
The moment he first smelled that Xiao Xiao was pregnant, he didn't have any special reaction.
But soon, a great joy filled my chest.
Perhaps this is the instinct of human beings, knowing that they have offspring, and their bloodlines are continued, joy spontaneously appears like a tide.
Xin Er involuntarily stared at Liu Le's stomach, looked at it for a while, looked at Liu Le blushing, and got into his arms. Xin Er gently stroked her bun and hugged her soft body, and now, in this body, a little life is being bred.
Will this little being a boy or a girl?
Xin Er didn't care.
He thought to himself, "This is my child! ”
Another indescribable and inexplicable feeling came to mind.
It wasn't until she saw Fu Qiao that Xin Er figured out what this feeling was.
It's responsibility.
is about to become a father, in this troubled time, the war is endless, does he have the ability to create a carefree environment for this child to grow up? Does he have what it takes to raise him smoothly? When this child grows up a little, will he be able to teach him well?
"Old man! Now I know what it means to 'seek for the sake of our children'." ”
Fu Qiao had two sons, a daughter, a son and a daughter died young, when he fled with Ling Hufeng, the matter was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to inform the family, and the rest of the son and his wife and concubine were all killed by Ling Hu Yong, and now he is alone.
Usually he is obsessed with women, but he actually has the intention of having another child. It's okay to be there usually, but now I was touched by the four words of "seeking for my children and grandchildren", and my mood suddenly fell down, but I immediately recovered.
He said in his heart: "This is a happy event when he is young, and I can't spoil his mood." Moreover, although I am in my forties, my energy is still good, I can't be like the first king and the ten daughters of the night, after taking the medicine, I can encourage myself, and I can also be two or three, and I am worried that there will be no more children in the future? ”
Xin Er came to the case and wrote down two lines of words.
Fu Qiao looked forward to the future, tried his best to cheer up his spirits, and leaned in to see.
Seeing that Xin Er wrote it was like a poem, but it was not the common five words, but the rare seven words.
"Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband."
Fu Qiao tasted it again and again, and praised: "Good poetry, good poetry!" ”
Xin Er smiled: "I have a feeling for a while, and I use these two sentences to express my feelings." ”
The marriage with Ling Huyan will certainly be of great benefit to Xin Er at the political level in the future, but when it comes to the impact on the soul and some changes in the mood, it is Liu Le's pregnancy that has a greater impact on the current Xin Er.
Fu Qiao said: "Young book, I dare to ask, can these two poems be given to me?" ”
Xin Er is not good at calligraphy, looked at his masterpiece, the famous writer wrote, called "Pianruohong", he wrote these, can be called "graceful like a snake", I feel that I can't take it, and said with a smile: "You can take the poem casually, and the words can not be given to you." ”
Fu Qiao didn't force it, wrote down these two sentences, sat back on the couch, turned to the topic, and asked: "Young book, if you order me to come, there must be something." I don't know what? ”
"I want to ask you to write and recommend Song Pian to the court."
"Old Song?" Huang Rong's mouth was very strict, and he didn't tell Fu Qiao about it, because Fu Qiao was quite surprised when he heard it.
"Exactly."
"Old Song ......, young book, what position do you want to raise him?"
"I remember the last time Lu Shuihu robbed and killed Bal Lianfan, Lao Song was indignant and advocated a crusade. Old Song knows that the soldiers are strategic, and there is a lack of a member of the advisory army in my Wuwei General's mansion, and I want to promote him to the post. How? ”
Fu Qiao was speechless, and said in his heart: "Old Song and I are half a catty and eight taels, if he wants to know that the soldiers are strategic, wouldn't I be clever?" "I guess Xin Er's move must have a deep meaning, anyway, he is attached to Xin Er, he can do what he wants! did not object, immediately expressed support, and said: "I am also familiar with the old Song Dynasty, as the young book said, this person knows the soldiers and dares to fight, which is enough to consult and join the army." ”
"Then you wait until the day of the Chang Dynasty, and then recommend it in the book!"
"Yes."
Xin Er took out a copy from the documents stacked on the case and motioned for Fu Qiao to take it.
Fu Qiao got out of the house, went over to catch it, stood in front of the case, and watched.
It's a piece of writing.
The text is simple and the content is not complicated.
Fu Qiao read it carefully, raised his face and said to Xin Er: "Young book, do you want to recruit soldiers?" ”
"I plan to lead my troops out of the court in two or three months to conquer the Western Regions, and you know this. Although the countries of the Western Regions are small, I have heard that there are also strong cities; The strength of cavalry lies in field battles, and it is its shortness to attack cities and fortifications. In order to ensure the smooth use of troops in the Western Regions, therefore, I thought about asking the imperial court to recruit foot soldiers. ”
Fu Qiao asked, "Why don't you transfer the shishi registration and the household?" ”
"You don't care about the military, you don't know the details.
"First, I set the west to see the enemy, since the founding of the country, large and small battles are continuous, the camps in our country, or died in the battle, or the family fled, or was given by the county to the departing chief, classified into the private door, the existing number, only Longdong, Longbei camps to supplement the needs, has been stretched, often not enough.
"The Marquis of Koji wrote to him, saying that some of his soldiers were over seventy years old, but he had not yet been released, and he was still drooping and had been in the army for several years.
"Old man, the business households in my country are really gradually drying up!"
Over the years, the military registration battalions in Dingxi have rarely been replenished except for losses. After all, no matter how bold a monarch is, he can't change the law-abiding citizens into scholars with a stroke of the pen, and whoever dares to do so will definitely stir up a big chaos.
As for Linghu Feng, although Zhu Noze's Zhuhu Department was added to the military register, after he succeeded in counterattacking the royal capital, he fulfilled the promise he had made before, and as a result, more than 10,000 soldiers were released at one time, and one was collected and released, but in fact there was no increase, at most it was still flat.
The number of war-damaged and fleeing soldiers is not small, and the bad custom of "sending off the old people" is now the worst custom, and when the chief officials leave office, the local government also sends money in addition to the usual practice, and sends it to the camp households. If Xin Er resigns, he will get hundreds of households, and Fu Qiao is the same.
After being given as gifts to the nobility and bureaucracy, their status changed to that of private servants and private slaves, so that although their names were still in the ranks of the scholars, it was difficult for the state to regain them from the hands of the huge scholars. Whether it is Dingxi or Jiangzuo, they have all issued orders, sometimes ordering that they are not allowed to be transferred to the camps, and sometimes compromises, ordering the campers who are transferred to serve only a few years of labor for the winners, but no matter which order, it is almost fruitless.
This is even worse for the embarrassment of the national dynasty with fewer battalions and fewer soldiers.
All these reasons come together, and although the system of registering scholars and running households is still the mainstream, the existing contradictions have long since emerged.
Fu Qiao said in surprise: "Is the problem so serious?" ”
"yes."
Fu Qiao has no talent for governance, but as a member of the bureaucracy and doctors, he also knows about current affairs, and sighs: "The country's soldiers are in dire straits, the people's strength is gradually thinning, and there are thousands of servants and slaves under the wealthy family on the right. Young, it's amazing! ”
Even that Fu Qiao can't stand this situation, what's the matter?
Only he is not stable in power, and he can only turn a blind eye to this, and the power is only not seen.
Fu Qiao said generously: "The camp that Jiankang County sent me is useless to me. Young book, since the supply of soldiers is insufficient, I will hand over these 100 battalions to you! ”
Xin Er smiled and said: "What can be done with just a hundred households?" Old man, you better keep it, and if you need it in the future, I'll ask you again. ”
Fu Qiao responded: "Yes." He asked, "Young man, you just said 'one come', there must be two, I don't know what 'two' is?" ”
Xin Er replied: "The two are in the army for generations, the father will eventually succeed the son, and the brother will die and the brother will take over; Men have died in battle, widowed and unpreserved, and forced to remarry by the officials in charge, and may not be able to raise their children if they are young. Listed as a scholar, he is a slave of the country, and there is no time to get out of this sea of suffering. To tell the truth, the people have been working hard for a long time.
"The people regard the camp households as cheap and do not intermarry, and the children of the camp households in the scholar register all think they are inferior. Old man, such a heart, you say, even if the battalion is sufficient, how much combat power can the troops formed?
"Yes, none of the countries in the Western Regions have strong troops, and I have a weak brigade under my account, and I can win it; But Pu Qin, Wei and Beizhi Rouran, they all have elite soldiers and strong generals. I thought about it again and again, with the soldiers of the camp, hostile to Qin, Wei, and Rouran, it is enough to resist the errand, and if you attack it, it is not easy! And if you go further, if you want to sweep away the bloody and recover Shenzhou, you can't rely on the camps, you have to be the division of tigers and wolves! ”
Fu Qiao left the bed and bowed.
Xin Er was surprised and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Qiao Jinfang knows the general's heroic picture! Since I moved to the top, the Central Plains has been stolen by Hu Yi for a long time, the clothes have been lost, and the people are like fire and water! Now I heard that the general has such a great ambition, magnificent! If the people of the Central Plains hear this, they will be overjoyed! Qiao's worship is for the people of the Central Plains! ”
Xin Er smiled: "I'm just saying that." Pu Qin and Wei, the national strength is stronger than mine, where is it so good to restore the old land? ”
"The general is wise and resolute, in his prime, with this thought, his ambition will be successful!"
"Get up and speak."
Fu Qiao refused to get up, bowed to the ground, and said, "It has been decades since the Qiao family left their homeland. General, I hope that one day, the general's ambition can finally be realized, Qiao can follow the general's royal division, step back to his hometown, and sweep the ancestors! Tell Joe to return with his family! ”
Fu Qiao is an orthodox Confucian student, the concept of clothing and the concept of ancestors are deep-rooted, just now he was touched by Xin Er, sad and now has no children under his knees, unfilial to his ancestors, because of this, Xin Er's sentence "Recover China", immediately stirred up his emotions, and did not think about how difficult it would be to return to the Central Plains, his voice was excited, and when he talked about the ancestral graves in his hometown, he actually brought out a trace of choking.
Xin Er got down, helped him up with his own hands, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "If there is really such a day, old man, I will definitely call you 'return home'!" It also saves you, the 'black-headed man', who can't be seen by the villagers, and is as noble as a night walker! ”
The "black-headed male" was honored as the third prince if his hair was not white. Xin Er's words were obviously joking.
This joke slightly diluted Fu Qiao's excitement, and he couldn't help but smile.
There is a poem in the previous dynasty: "Sad songs can be used as weeping, and distant looks can be angelica." I miss my hometown and am depressed. If you want to return home, there is no one to cross the river. The mind cannot be spoken, and the wheel of the intestine turns. "Prepare for homesickness.
Xia people value their homeland, such as Fu Qiaozhi, although his family has moved to Dingxi for decades, in his mind, his hometown is just a few records that he painstakingly picked out from books, and there is no personal memory, nor any intuitive impression, but the longing for his hometown, when opened, is still irrepressible.
Xin Er and Fu Qiao sat back on the couch respectively.
Xin Er picked up the feather fan, gently tapped the table with the handle of the fan, and whispered: "I miss my hometown, and I am depressed." ”
He looked at Fu Qiao's expression that had not completely calmed down, and thought, "Missing your hometown is human nature; The recovery of China is righteous and righteous. Nowadays, the sheep and Tang Ai people are willing to use it for me, but what about the future? When they are valuable, or when my career has suffered setbacks, will they still be dear to me today?
"The villain is profitable, and the gentleman is righteous. If we want to be as we are today, they and I must have a common and great goal! Looking at the old man's voice today, recovering the Central Plains and returning to his hometown should be able to become this call. ”
Political blocs formed without lofty political goals and only for temporary interests will always fall apart. Only when all the people in the group have the same goal will the political group be unbreakable and can twist all the people into a rope.
However, if this is defined as a political blueprint, there is a problem.
That is: "Yushi", which will become Xin Er's greatest reliance on the program, in other words, he will become more and more distant from the local valve clan.
However, judging from the current situation, this problem is not a problem.
The valve clan is definitely not a person from him, and the strength he can rely on is originally a fabler.
Xin Er thought about it, made a decision, and said in his heart: "It's not in a hurry." This kind of thing can't be said deliberately. In the future, when I encounter such an opportunity as today, I will calmly describe my aspirations, first watch the hearts of sheep, Tang and others, and then make an appointment with them with my aspirations! ”
Xin Yi smiled and said to Fu Qiao: "Old man, you are interrupted, I almost forgot the reason why you read this book." I'd like to ask you to polish it for me. ”
Fu Qiao had no political acumen and did not realize the importance of Xin Er's recruitment book.
Xin Er has seen and heard in later generations, but he knows the importance of his own book. Although the conscription system is now in place, it is far from reaching the stage of maturity and popularization, and his book is very likely to leave a mark in the history of this time and space in the future. He has an ordinary literary style, and he doesn't want future generations to see his "simplicity", so he wants to ask Fu Qiao to help him add color to his ink.
The two letters recommending Song Pian and requesting recruitment were successively presented to the court by Fu Qiao and Xin Er.
