Chapter 648: Hunting Qinghua County
The world is decided, Zhang Xiaowu's strength is high, as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, he has become the largest minister in the entire Shenghan Empire. For him, he didn't need to return to Longdu to prove anything, but he had to go back, he wanted to go back to help Chenghua. Zhang Xiaowu did not believe Gu Yong, in Saibei, Gu Yong killed more than 20,000 people of Shi Jing and the 25th Regiment and 20,000 people of Tucheng because of partisan disputes, and feared that the first emperor would take back his military power, deliberately did not destroy the Tartar rebels, deliberately dragged the Qinglong Army to death in the Yajin granary, and later wanted to participate in the coup and killed the people of Wuguan County. Although this person is called the first military division in the world, he is only wise when he is marching and fighting, he is just a tactical genius and a strategic idiot.
Zhang Xiaowu understood that if Gu Yong was allowed to govern and his army was outside, Gu Yong would not dare to prevent Xuanyuan Chenghua from ascending the throne and becoming emperor, and would even do everything that a capable minister could do to assist Chenghua, but he didn't believe in Gu Yong's ability. In the past two years, if it weren't for Emperor Dade's foresight, Gu Yong alone would never have handled the government well, and there would even be a lot of chaos. Of course, Emperor Dade also did many wrong things, the first thing was to set up governors in various places, so that the governors could manage the places at different levels, such as the governor of Jiangnan, the governor of the southwest, and the governor of Lingnan, and the second thing was the indiscriminate issuance of paper money, which caused many people to suffer unspeakably. Money is the representative symbol of productivity, when the productivity is excessive, money must be increased, and when the productivity is not so much, the continued issuance of money currency has become a hurtful move to the people.
Now that Emperor Dade is in a coma here, Zhang Xiaowu is ready to rush to Longfu to prevent the implementation of the wrong policy - in fact, there are not a few people who can see the mistakes of Emperor Dade's governance, but there are very few people who can stop him - it seems that the whole world, as far as Zhang Xiaowu has the ability to stop it.
When Zhang Xiaowu returned to the inner hall, she saw Gu Ruoxi sullen, it turned out that she heard Zhang Xiaowu's words and knew that Zhang Xiaowu would fight with his father once he returned to Longdu, so she was very sad. Zhang Xiaowu walked up to her and wanted to persuade her, but found that he didn't know where to persuade her, so he could only sigh and say; "If there is a conflict, I will protect the lives of my family, how about it?"
Gu Ruoxi wept and said, "Okay, you promise me." ”
"Yes." Zhang Xiaowu said.
The two were relatively silent, and Zhang Xiaowu was in a bad mood, so in order to relieve his depression, he proposed to go hunting in Qinghua County. In the past, Gu Ruoxi liked to hunt with him very much, but today she was not interested, and just saw that Zhang Xiaowu liked it, so she nodded.
Zhang Xiaowu asked people to prepare carriages and horses, and the next day he took his wife Gu Ruoxi and daughter An An to Qinghua County to hunt.
Tsinghua County is the northernmost county seat of Yanjing Prefecture, located at the foot of the East Yehe Mountain Range, so many people fled here during the Inuyi Rebellion in the Central Plains, and Qinghua County became rich for a while. But as the war subsided and people from all over the country returned to their hometowns, Tsinghua County became as quiet and peaceful as usual.
Because of its proximity to the foot of the mountain, there are many wild beasts from time to time, making it the best hunting ground. Zhang Xiaowu usually brought Gu Ruoxi and An An, the mother and daughter, to hunt here, both of them had a good time, but today is different, Gu Ruoxi is preoccupied, An An is also lazy to hide in the carriage and horse, the little guy holds the stove and refuses to come out, shouting that the wind is too cold.
"These people." Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and waved the longbow in his hand, this is not a divine arm bow, but a horn bow made by the Ox Horn Warriors, which is the most suitable for hunting. Nine guard apprentices were by his side, and Zhang Xiaowu intended to teach them to take turns shooting arrows to see who could hunt more. The nine teenagers each showed their own skills, Lei Wenqian's martial arts were the best, and he naturally hunted the most, but they were all small animals such as rabbits and pheasants. On the contrary, it was Zhao Fu, Xingminglou and Qi Yuanshan, this little brother didn't know how to use to catch a live wild boar.
In fact, the most afraid of winter hunting is the wild boar, hunters often say, one pig, two bears and three tigers, it is because the wild boar skin is thick and infinite, plus they have a developed sense of smell, if they provoke them really every good end.
Zhang Xiaowu asked the three of them how they hunted the wild boar, Xing Minglou smiled and said: "Dashuai, it was Zhao Fu who thought of a way, he first hid some sweat medicine in the wine and meat, and then found the wild boar and threw it at the mouth of the wild boar's hole." This wild boar hunts for food in winter, and immediately runs out after smelling the food, and falls asleep after eating sweat medicine. How can the three of us catch the wild boar head-on, didn't you teach us to avoid its sharpness, we can also be regarded as learning and using. ”
Zhang Xiaowu laughed, and then pulled Zhao Fu's ear and said, "What are you going to do with sweat medicine?" Who are you going to overturn? ”
Zhao Fu hurriedly begged for mercy: "Dashuai, Dashuai, I'm not blinding anyone, I'm for the dogs in the distant mountains." ”
Qi Yuanshan said strangely: "What are you doing to give my dog sweat medicine?" ”
Zhao Fu shouted: "Hey! You forgot? Your dog runs into my house every day, and picks my shoes to, and I'm really angry, if it weren't for the face of you and his father and son, I would have killed him a long time ago. I just gave him some sweat pills so he could sleep well at night so that he wouldn't run around my house to and pee again. ”
Qi Yuanshan said: "If you don't kick it, can it hold a grudge?" Who made your feet owe. ”
Zhao Fu was about to quarrel, but was thrown aside by Zhang Xiaowu and said, "Look, why did Wang Jing catch a deer?" The crowd gathered around, but found that it was not a deer, but if it was not like the four, it was what everyone called an elk. Zhang Xiaowu understood and said with a smile: "It must have been brought by the Rakshasa people who rode the elk, after the Rakshasa people were killed, their elk fled to the Central Plains and became beasts in this mountain." However, it seems that this elk is very close to people, and is not afraid of people, nor does it hurt people. Probably because the snow had buried the plants, the elk had been hungry in the mountains and forests for a long time, and when he saw people, he immediately ran over to beg for food, and Wang Jing used only a few handfuls of dead grass and beans to feed the horses, and then caught the tall livestock.
An An saw it from a distance, and Xiao Nen pointed at the elk and shouted, "Big horse, big horse, big horse...... Ride a big horse. ”
Zhang Xiaowu laughed, walked over and hugged An An, and then hugged her and jumped on the back of the elk, the elk was startled at first, and then seemed to be used to being ridden, bowed his head and ate the grass and beans given by the soldiers. The elk ate deliciously, and everyone also felt that this thing was interesting, this touch, that touch, An An sat on the back of the elk and giggled.
Suddenly, An An, a naughty little guy, grabbed the long hair on the elk's back and shouted, "Drive! Drive! Drive! The elk was in pain, and ran away, and everyone didn't even have time to react, so they saw Zhang Xiaowu holding An An and sitting on the crazy elk and slipping away.
