Epilogue (1)

In mid-October, it was two months after the Ming army recaptured the city of Beijing.

Tianjin Sanwei Dagukou, the waves gently lap the shore, above the waves, thousands of sails gather.

The blue sky is like washing, the sky is bright and cloudy, Yang Zhaofeng galloped on the dirt road on the port embankment, and saw two people walking side by side in front of him.

"Brother Qin!"

Yang Zhaofeng raised his hand to greet him, and the two people in front of him stopped and turned to look.

"Fengzi, why are you here?" Qin Jinxiao's cold face was as cold as this bright sunshine, and he smiled warmly, "The army is gathering towards Shanhaiguan, why didn't you go over?" ”

Yang Zhaofeng dismounted five steps away, pulled the reins and walked in front of Qin Jinxiao and said with a smile: "I'm going to the southwest." ”

A few months ago, after a series of brutal battles, the Qing army was weakened, and the Qing Dynasty and the prince of Shuorui, Dolgon, protected Emperor Shunzhi and a group of Qing soldiers to go east to Shanhaiguan and retreated to Liaodong. The Qing army deployed a large number of troops in Shanhaiguan and the Liaoxi Corridor to strictly guard against the pursuit of the Ming army, and at the same time used the Ming court north mission headed by Zuo Maodi in his hands to constantly negotiate with Zhao Dangshi, the king of the Ming and Song dynasties in Beijing and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, in order to achieve a pattern of the Ming and Qing dynasties dividing the customs and ruling the country.

"It is advisable to chase the poor and brave the poor" is Zhao Dangshi's words that have been encouraging the generals, and Gu Junen, the left army division of the army, also started from the case of Emperor Taizu at the beginning of the country to chase the remnants of the Yuan forces in Mobei, and suggested that he should take advantage of the undetermined vitality of the Qing army and the unfavorable situation to further crack down, in order to solve the Manchu Qing Dynasty's chronic disease that had infringed on the Ming Dynasty for decades in one fell swoop.

With this plan, Zhao Dangshi sent envoys to and from the Qing court on the one hand, mobilized troops and horses to gather at Shanhaiguan and other places, and at the same time contacted Zheng Zhilong's sailors to discuss the strategy of advancing by land and water.

In Beijing and Xinping in, the military and government inside and outside the government and the opposition are busy, and Zhao Dangshi must sit in charge and co-ordinate, and he can't get out of it. The commander of this large-scale military operation of nearly 200,000 Ming troops outside the border was Guo Ruke. He was promoted to marquis because of his previous outstanding military exploits in Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, and he can be called the first general of the current Zhao camp in terms of status and ability. In addition to Guo Ruke, Han Gon, Ma Guangchun, Li Yanlang and other front-line generals of Zhao Ying, as well as Xu Yixian, Mu Gongchun, Yan Licheng and other strategists all served in the army.

However, among these generals who enthusiastically went out to fight, there was no Qin Jinxiao. The siege of the Acropolis, Qin Jin was wounded in the battle of filial piety, and lost his entire right arm. According to his status, in fact, he no longer needs to charge, but without the right arm of dancing knives and guns, Qin Jinxiao always feels that this is a warning from God.

"Qin has killed too much, and it is a blessing to prolong his life. Now that a broken arm is like a broken heart, I just hope to stay away from the frontier from now on, respect God and love others, and be content. ”

This is what Qin Jinxiao said to Zhao Dangshi when he resigned from his position in the army, and at that time, Zhao Dangshi planned that he would go to Shanhaiguan together as a first-class staff officer beside Guo Ruke.

Zhao Dangshi looked at the golden cross hanging on his neck, and said with regret: "Lao Qin, you really think about it?" ”

Qin Jinxiao said with a firm attitude: "Qin's wisdom is short-sighted, and he is all brave. Now nearly half a hundred years old, he has become a waste again, it is difficult to come in handy, and he will never dare to eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse again, and he hopes that the lord will be fulfilled. ”

Zhao Dangshi nodded and stopped persuading.

Returning to the port where the gust of wind blew, Qin Jinxiao looked at Ying Huiyi next to him with doting eyes, and said to Yang Zhaofeng: "The lord knows that I will no longer fight, so he arranged for me to go to the city to work. The relationship between Tolua and his father, I am going to go to the countries of Europa with her to do business, and it can be regarded as expanding trade for Zhao Ying, and then I will do my last bit of strength. ”

Ying Huiyi heard that Qin Jinxiao was injured, and Lian Yue rushed here from Huguang, at this time, her pair of light blue eyes flashed with moving brilliance, and she hugged Qin Jinxiao's arm tightly and said, "You promised me, but you are not allowed to regret it." ”

When the faces of others were intimate, Qin Jinxiao was a little embarrassed, and he smiled. When he intercepted Zuo Liangyu in Huguang, Yang Zhaofeng met and talked with Ying Huiyi, and the two later had a very good relationship, only to hear Yang Zhaofeng quip: "Sister Lua, Brother Qin is a good hand at marching and fighting, this business may not be good, you are by your side, you can mention him more." ”

Ying Huiyi did not answer, Qin Jinxiao was dissatisfied: "In the past, in Shizhouwei, my Zhonglu Qin family also did a lot of business, and it was not in the way. ”

Yang Zhaofeng said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's all some businessless transactions!" ”

"!" Qin Jinxiao laughed when he heard this. Yang Zhaofeng looked at him and smiled, and his heart didn't move for a reason, because since the two met, in his nearly ten years of military career, he had never seen him laugh so freely and so easily.

"Brother Qin, if you leave, Brother Ma will also leave." Sending Qin Jinxiao and Ying Yiyi to the deck, Yang Zhaofeng stood on the shore to say goodbye, "I really don't know when I will be able to gather brothers to say goodbye." ”

"There's going to be a chance." Qin Jinxiao waved his hand, and at this time, the boatman shouted, and the big ship began to slowly leave the shore.

Before coming, Yang Zhaofeng heard that Ma Guangchun also expressed to Zhao Dangshi his intention to leave office and return to the field.

Ma Guangchun has always been stubborn that his eldest brother Ma Guangyu died because of himself, so unlike most of the Ming soldiers who sought a future for himself and fought for the health of his family, the belief that supported his bloody struggle came from atonement.

Ma Guangchun begged Zhao Dangshi to allow him to cut his hair and become a monk after the campaign against Guanwai, and spend the rest of his life chanting scriptures and praying for those who died in vain.

Zhao Dangshi agreed, and promised that Ma Guangchun's title would be inherited by his brother Ma Guangning.

"If your subordinates are lucky enough not to die outside the gate, they will pray for the Lord for the rest of their lives." Ma Guangchun had tears in his eyes and was relieved.

Yang Zhaofeng was sighing, looking up slightly, only to see a lonely sail on the vast sea, and the two people on the bow of the boat who were clinging to each other gradually became distant.

The reason why he did not go to Shanhaiguan was that he was entrusted by Zhao Dangshi to escort the old Ming criminals, including Wu Sangui and a group from Beijing and other places, who had contributed to the Qing army's brutalization of the army and civilians, to Fan Jing for trial and verdict. After this matter was over, he would leave for Sichuan to assist Wang Laixing in using troops. This is because it has been reported that Pi Xiong, the general soldier of Guizhou, who had been confronting Wang Laixing's army for a long time, and Wang Xiang, the general of Banzhou Town, seemed to have colluded with the Tusi in the border areas of Yunnan and other places, and even the soldiers and horses of the distant Donghu State to invade and occupy the southwest and divide Zixiong. The southwest is imminent.

After separating Qin Jinxiao, Yang Zhaofeng returned to Beijing to join the escort troops, and went south on the same day.

From Beijing to Huguang, during the period, thousands of miles were traveled and the road was far away, but how could a Zheng Zheng man like Yang Zhaofeng, who was accustomed to living a life of eating and sleeping in the open, care.

In late November, the war in eastern Liaodong was in full swing, and the war in the southwest was also about to break out. There he will meet with Qin Qigong, who has completed the reorganization of troops and horses in Shaanxi, and lead the troops to Sichuan together.

Along the way, the once beacon fire in the pass, although it is still dilapidated and withered, but it is rare to see soldiers and horses, but the people are all over the place, the barren land is reclaimed, the river canal is reopened, and there is a thriving scene. Even though he lost all his closest relatives, Shaanxi was only a familiar land for him, but Yang Zhaofeng's heart was still happy and joyful.

At night, Yang Zhaofeng hurried to Juxian County, because Qin Qigong's army was stationed in Xuyu County at the western end of Xi'an Prefecture, he planned to spend the night in Caotang Temple in Juxian County, and then go to the barracks the next day. Although the Caotang Temple is not larger than the Xi'an Dacien Temple and the Wolong Temple, it is also one of the ancestral gardens of the Buddha, and it has its own quiet and solemn.

When the abbot of the monastery heard that the general of the army had arrived, he was eagerly prepared for it.

In the morning, when you walk into the temple, you will be surrounded by towering pines and cypresses, green bamboos, and mist dispersing, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Xiao Shami brought breakfast, Yang Zhaofeng thanked him, and took the food box to choose a stone table and stool in the quiet courtyard to sit down. As soon as a bowl of hot gruel was served, a robe was suddenly flicked in front of him, and the abbot of the temple floated in.

"Presiding." Yang Zhaofeng didn't dare to slack off, put down the bowl, got up and folded his hands to show respect.

"There is an old man who wants to meet the benefactor." The host smiled and looked behind Yang Zhaofeng.

Yang Zhaofeng was puzzled, turned around to look, and immediately froze in place, bursting into tears for a moment.
