Huang Zongxi still didn't dare to tear his face with Xu Changqing.

He actually ...... I really want to give up some mundane things outside my body, testify to the Tao, and interpret his thoughts and brilliance to the maximum in this most magnificent way, so as to leave a name in history.

However.

After thinking about it, racking my brains, thinking left and right...... He still couldn't make up his mind......

He was reluctant to bear this skin, the beautiful wife and concubine in Yuyao's hometown, the three sons who were smart and sensible, and the most respected old mother......

In particular, Xu Changqing in front of him was like a fierce tiger, staring at him playfully and fiercely......

"Old man Zhang, please, my father is ...... here"

At this time, Huang Baiyao's voice came from outside, and nearly ten minutes had passed since Xu Changqing and Huang Zongxi finally spoke.

At this time, just looking at Huang Zongxi's painful expression, Xu Changqing understood his decision, and no longer oppressed him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, you should take a look at the illness here first." When you're done, go get some rest. If you want to visit this Wuchang City, I will give 100 medicines a holiday in the past few days. There are still some military affairs in the future, so I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for Mr. Huang in the evening. ”

After speaking, Xu Changqing bowed his hand to Huang Zongxi and strode out with a smile.

"I ......"

Huang Zongxi wanted to say something, but heard that Xu Changqing outside was instructing Huang Baiyao to take care of him.

After a while, seeing Huang Baiyao and an old medical officer with a Dao Bone Immortal Wind coming over, although Huang Zongxi was still calm on his face, he couldn't stop smiling bitterly in his heart.

He, Huang Zongxi, is also an upright man, how can he be so spineless?

……

went to the bamboo forest to accompany Zhang Baozhu and Chunni for a while, and Xu Changqing quickly received the latest information from Xiangyang.

At this time, the Dashun Army had entered a state of high mobilization, and according to the estimates of the model army's intelligence system, their number of troops had reached the scale of more than 30 or nearly 400,000.

The numbers look a bit bluffing, but there are not many elite soldiers in it, and it is more than 100,000 to die, or add miscellaneous miscellaneous soldiers.

At this time, their main forces were basically arranged in three directions, the Qinchuan line on the western line, the Central Plains line on the northern line, and the Suizhou and Anlu periphery lines on the eastern line.

Among them, the Western Front is its core main force, with a strength of about 1340,000, and the main will be Ruhou Liu Zongmin.

There are fewer people on the northern line, only seventy or eighty thousand, and the main will be Liu Fangliang, Li Zicheng's henchman.

The eastern front is also the line with the least number of people at this time, and there are accidents.

The original commander was Liu Xiyao, but just last night, the model army intelligence system just received the news, and the commander of the Eastern Front had been replaced by Yuan Zongdi.

Although the intelligence system of the model army has not been found at this time, why Dashun changed generals in battle, but with Xu Changqing's eyesight, just looking at this kind of personnel transfer, he can already touch many things.

Liu Xiyao's house must be holding back the fire in his heart.

Several core generals of the Dashun Army, Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo and others, Liu Xiyao has always been the most famous, but his foundation is not weak.

Not only is he brave in battle, but he is also brave and strategic, and his performance in many large-scale battles of the Wandering People's Army is remarkable.

But this guy has one of the biggest drawbacks!

He is not Li Zicheng's descendant, but from the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, and theoretically he is closer to Luo Rucai, He Yilong, and the old Hui Ma Shouying and others.

This makes Liu Xiyao look at his position not low, almost a very human minister, but in fact, he has been excluded from the real power center of the Dashun Army.

According to the smoke bombs released by Xu Changqing to the Dashun army, there is no doubt that the biggest head is naturally the Western Front, but he was not only assigned to the Eastern Front, where it is impossible to make any achievements, but now he can't even sit firmly on the throne of the main general of the Eastern Front......

Xu Changqing didn't think about it for long, so he wrote a letter to Liu Xiyao by himself.

When the letter was sent out quickly by Wang Xi, Xu Changqing stretched his waist, breathed a sigh of relief, got up and moved his hands and feet, and said secretly: "Old man, don't blame me." I just want my Huaxia to have less involution and casualties. Otherwise, once you are sealed with grain and grass, you may not be able to survive for ten days and a half months. ”

……

By this time, after taking Wuchang, the encirclement of the Dashun army was almost done, but the Dashun army was not the left army.

They have long been not afraid of the Ming court, so they will no longer have any scruples.

Moreover, the Dashun Army has received a lot of funding from the Model Army, and their combat power is faintly stronger than that of the Left Army.

To put it bluntly, combat power is sometimes not the same as real effectiveness.

For example, the model army fought the left army, and the majesty of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years was placed here, except for the vested interests of the left army, who were determined to follow the Zuo family to the end, most of the others could not have such an iron heart, at most they could be regarded as grass on the wall.

Therefore, it is enough for the model army to fight the left army, and only to attack its core.

But the Dashun Army is completely different!

If you really want to go to war, let alone those high-level generals, I'm afraid that even the junior generals dare to play with the model army, how can this compare?

In addition, the various departments of the Wuchang Army also need some time to rest, so Xu Changqing still has to be patient and stabilize the situation on the Wuchang side.

……

Xu Changqing was busy flying, but Huang Zongxi was quite comfortable here.

First of all, this bamboo garden is a good place to raise people, although he is not staying in the core area of the bamboo garden at this time, it is a separate elegant courtyard in the outer garden, which is much more exquisite than the house in his hometown in Yuyao.

To put it bluntly, don't look at Huang Zongxi's current fame, but he is a poor scholar, how can his family background be compared with this kind of real wealthy businessman?

Moreover, Xu Changqing also equipped him with several delicate maids, as well as extremely clever servants at a glance, saying that he took care of his daily life, but it seemed to have given him people.

This made Huang Zongxi even though he still couldn't stop scolding Xu Changqing, but in his heart he inadvertently accepted Xu Changqing's love.

This guy is a little overbearing, and he is a little confused, but he really can't find fault with being a person and doing things.

But even if he received Xu Changqing's love, he would definitely not find a pretty girl to defeat the fire or something like that now, and then he would fall into the inferior of the inferior.

After a brief lunch, he pulled Huang Baiyao into the room, closed the door, and carefully inquired about Huang Baiyao's affairs in these days, especially the situation of the Battle of Wuchang.

Huang Baiyao is in front of his Lao Tzu, how dare he hold it up?

When even 1510 revealed what he knew to Huang Zongxi in detail.

"What?"

"One evening, Xu Changqing him, one evening, he took Wuchang City, and captured Zuo Liangyu alive?"

Not long after Huang Baiyao spoke passionately about the Battle of Wuchang, Huang Zongxi interrupted rudely, his eyes were about to fall to the ground, and he stared at Huang Baiyao directly.

"Goose, father......"

Huang Baiyao was taken aback, but he also understood in an instant, he had fully adapted to it in the model army, and he had long been accustomed to the way of thinking of the model army, but he was obviously still an outsider.

Hurriedly coughed a few times and said, "Father, to be precise, it should be half an hour." According to the Western method of timekeeping, it is about 50 minutes. Father, you see, from here all the way to here, there is still ten minutes away from an hour, that is, half an hour as we said in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Afraid that Huang Zongxi would not understand, Huang Baiyao hurriedly took out a pocket watch and explained it to him.

"No, less than half an hour?"

Huang Zongxi took the pocket watch, looked at it over and over again, and hurriedly looked at Huang Baiyao again, "Baiyao, you tell your father truthfully!" What the hell is going on? Don't miss a word! ”

Huang Baiyao also understood his father's thoughts, and was busy explaining in more detail.

However, his old son Huang Zongxi's face was getting worse and worse, getting worse and worse, and in the end, Huang Zongxi's face was no longer half bloody, and it was miserable.

He couldn't stop muttering, "How is it possible? This, how is this possible? How could it be possible to use this Raushzi's flowering bomb and incendiary bomb alone to take the majestic Wuchang City? No way. 100 medicines. Let's go, you accompany me to Beicheng to have a look. ”

Huang Baiyao originally wanted his father to cultivate here, after all, the journey was tiring, but he really couldn't stop Huang Zongxi, so he could only call his soldiers to borrow a few horses and accompany Huang Zongxi to Beicheng.

At this time, although the northern city has long been quiet, and many craftsmen are repairing it, the terrible wounds left by the war are still clearly visible.

Many of the walls had been blown down, and before they could be cleaned up, many of the green bricks that had been removed from the walls and were still usable were piled up into small hills.

There are even more unusable debris, piles after piles, and as far as the eye can see, there are more than a dozen piles.

With Huang Zongxi's experience and imagination, he didn't need to make much effort at all, but he could imagine the horror of the war.

Although he thought that he had overestimated Xu Changqing enough, he really understood when he saw the red fruit and bloody reality in front of him...... Xu Changqing's guy is much more terrifying than him, including what countless people imagine!

After turning around here for a while, Huang Zongxi took Huang Baiyao to a small restaurant, asked for a small private room by the window on the second floor, and hurriedly asked about the details of the battle of Yangzhou.

"This ......"

Huang Baiyao was embarrassed: "Father, no, it's not that the child doesn't want to tell you, yes, it's my model army with discipline, this is top secret." If you talk too much, you will be beaten on the board, serious, and even expelled from the military, or even jailed or beheaded......"

"You ......"

Huang Zongxi was almost angry to death, and wanted to kick this unfilial son to death, and told him Lao Tzu, can this be a leak?

But seeing Huang Baiyao's embarrassed appearance with his neck straightened, Huang Zongxi's anger disappeared a lot.

Although he can't wait to spray Huang Baiyao on his mouth, deep down, why not be proud of Huang Baiyao?

Even though Xu Changqing is a national thief, and now he has become a greater threat to the imperial court than the Tartars, how can he not be the best in the world, the most powerful and capable existence?

And his sister-in-law Huang Baiyao can actually become a close record of Xu Changqing's side to join the army, even if he thinks about it with his ass, Huang Zongxi can know his son's bright future.

But.

As Lao Tzu, he certainly cannot praise his son.

This is also a huge gap between Eastern and Western civilizations, and the Chinese people are much more restrained.

After drinking a glass of wine in silence, looking at the people on the street who had returned to normal order and even many people with smiles on their faces, Huang Zongxi sighed: "Boss, since there is discipline, then I don't ask more questions for my father." But have you thought about your future? Do you really want to join the military and not go to the temple? ”

"This ......"

When Huang Baiyao heard this topic, he couldn't help but be a little speechless.

The education he has received since he was a child is naturally 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', but he can't resist it, and there are sages who 'why don't men take Wu hooks and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures'.

For the average person, this is obviously an extremely difficult question!

Especially in the general environment at this time, the new branch is far away.

But he Huang Baiyao is obviously not an ordinary person.

He is a descendant of Xu Changqing's side who joined the army!

And Xu Changqing has talked to him about this issue several times......

can only humbly explain to Huang Zongxi: "Father, this, this issue has actually been considered by Master Hou for a long time, and the child has not given up studying during these days in the army. In short, the child is now in the army, and he will not delay the scientific research in the future. Moreover, if the child has military merits, he may ...... if he goes to participate in the scientific examination Add more points. Even, children may not have to participate in the government exam, and can go directly to Beijing to catch the exam. Basically, it's equivalent to a quota within it. ”

Huang Baiyao said shyly and confidently, and suddenly found that his old son Huang Zongxi's face was green, and he hurriedly explained: "Father, Master Hou's mind is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like me. Hou Ye has told the child many times that all beings are equal.

We scholars are noble, but the children of the common people, including the children of the untouchables, even if their ancestors have committed sins, they have not committed sins.

We may be able to suppress them, but at least we must ensure their right to education.

Father...... The child never knew how to explain it to you, but for the child, the child felt that what Hou Ye said was right.

Otherwise, if those people want to turn over, I'm afraid they will have to wait until the dynasty changes, which is obviously unfair......"

After Huang Baiyao finished speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head humbly, not daring to face his Lao Tzu's edge.

Huang Zongxi really wanted to give Huang Baiyao a few big ear scrapers, but it had only been a few days, and his eldest son followed Xu Changqing, and he actually had this kind of rebellious thinking.

However, if you really calm down and think about it, it seems that what Xu Changqing said is not unreasonable......

Huang Zongxi looked at the busy but obviously smiling crowd outside the window again, his eyes became more and more complicated, he closed his mouth tightly, and was deeply silent.
