Chapter Twenty-Six: The Last Veteran
Wu Ning is really a little scared, after all, he is a second-generation official, and he is the second generation of the biggest official in Fangzhou, but he is a fugitive. According to the logic of his descendants, then he was destroyed without any division?
It's a pity that Wu Ning still thought wrong, he ignored that this was the Tang Dynasty, and even more ignored the fierceness of the Tang people.
......
————————
Wu Changlu has been very busy lately.
On the one hand, it is necessary to draw government soldiers from various counties and train them for use. After all, there is only three months before the birthday of King Luling, and the big man from Beijing will arrive in Fangzhou in two months at most.
On the other hand, during the summer harvest season, Wu Changlu's acres of land will also be harvested. After poor Wu Qi and his mother passed away, Wu Changlu was both a father and a mother, and he had to worry about everything when planting and harvesting in the fields.
No, I just took a break from the military palace and wanted to go to the fields to have a look, urging the slaves to harvest, but before I left the city, I let Wu Qi stop me.
As soon as he heard that Wu Ning had caused a big disaster, he had to rush down the mountain in a hurry.
.....
"So, you and Sun Bo'an had a big fight?"
Wu Changlu listened to Wu Ning's report and was still a little uneasy.
"He scolded you for being a village man, and you made him a fool, and he was gone? Is there anything excessive? ”
"It's gone!"
Wu Ning immediately shook his head, "That's all!" ”
That's excessive, isn't it? That's the son of the county gentleman's family, and he is a fugitive, so he won't kill him in minutes and blow him into scum?
"Really?"
"It's really gone!"
Syllable!
As soon as Wu Ning finished speaking, Wu Changlu slapped his thigh, which startled Wu Ning.
"How big a basket should Lao Tzu be, it turns out that this little, and he also tossed a certain family?"
"Gah?"
Wu Ning was completely petrified, and a thought arose in his heart: Okay, fourth uncle, it's good to be free!
......
"What if two young men talk a few words between themselves, even if they use their fists?"
looked at Wu Ning's frightened and frightened bear-like face, "It's a big fart, you also need to call adult?" ”
"Cowardice!" As he spoke, he raised his leg and was about to leave.
Wu Ning argued: "However, the son of Sun Hongde is the son of the county monarch family!" ”
"What's wrong with Sun Hongde? Can Sun Hongde eat you!? Wu Changlu stopped, with a fierce face.
"Look at your hopeless bear-like appearance, doing something that cares about your head! Now that you know you're scared? What did you do in the first place? ”
Wu Ning stopped talking, knowing that the fourth uncle was not scolding now, but teaching him, and there must be something to say below.
Sure enough, when Wu Changlu saw Wu Ning with low eyebrows and scowling eyes, he didn't mean to scold. Turning around, he sat down again.
"First of all, you have to understand one thing, in Datang, especially in our Fangzhou territory, although the county monarch is big, there are also people who press on him, and it is not one!"
"Huh." Wu Changlu laughed as he spoke, but he felt that the words he had just scolded Wu Ning were a bit heavy.
After all, Wu Ning doesn't go out of the gate, he doesn't step out of the second gate, and he has been nesting in the col for many years, these people are reasonable, no one tells him, how much can he understand?
Slowed down his tone, "You think the county gentleman is the biggest official in our Fangzhou, right?" ”
"yes." Wu Ning answered honestly.
"Wrong, my silly boy! You don't want to think about it, who has the most hands and eyes in Fangzhou? ”
"It's Wang Hongyi, the long history of the Luling Palace!"
“......”
Wu Ning was stunned, after Wu Changlu said this, it seemed that it was really like that.
Although Wang Hongyi is only the chief of the palace, he may not be as good as the Fangzhou Grand Decree in terms of level and real power in his hands, but his position as a long history is quite mysterious.
To put it bluntly, a former deposed emperor, the prince of the Li family, can the Empress Wu rest assured? How could the long history of his house be an ordinary person?
You don't need to dig deeper, you can guess if you guess, you must be a person who is trusted by the martial arts queen to be competent.
I only heard Wu Changlu continue: "Wang Hongyi doesn't look at the official, but he is a figure who can reach the heavens, and the connections and status in Beijing are not comparable to a Fangzhou order. ”
"He is the soil emperor of Fangzhou, not only the affairs of the palace are in his hands, but he also has to interfere in all the affairs of the state and county. Sun Bo'an's Lao Tzu didn't even have a chance to speak. ”
"Oh...."
Wu Ning nodded, in this way, the county gentleman does not seem to be as terrible as it is said in later novels and TV.
"That fourth uncle has a relationship with that Wang Hongyi?"
Wu Ning guessed, otherwise why did Wu Changlu look indifferent.
The answer was surprising: "No!" ”
"Such a snob, I still don't bother to associate with your fourth uncle."
"Huh?" Wu Ning's heart hung again.
"Hahaha!" Wu Changlu laughed, "What, don't you understand?" ”
"Tell you, the reason why I'm not afraid is not because I got to know Wang Hongyi, and it's not because the order has no power, but..."
"It's because above the county monarch, there is another person he can't move and doesn't dare to provoke."
"Who?"
I saw Wu Changlu pointing to his nose, "Me! ”
"Your fourth uncle, I am the commander of the government soldiers of the four counties of Fangling, and I am a dignified lieutenant, and I am afraid that he will not be a county king?"
"No, wait a minute."
Wu Ning didn't understand a little, "Unify the army.... Bigger than the county king? ”
That is to say, you, an armed minister, can still ride on the head of the county magistrate?
"Of course it's bigger than the county gentleman!" Wu Changlu stared.
"My Tang Dynasty founded the country with martial arts, and the soldiers are in all directions, when will the martial artists not be big?"
"Although he Sun Hongde is nominally in charge of one party's taxes and governs one party's water and soil, Lao Tzu has 20,000 government soldiers in his hands, and it is Lao Tzu who is protecting the peace of one side, and his son Sun Hongde dares to touch my nephew to try, and Lao Tzu smashes his mansion!"
Wu Changlu became louder and louder, and finally simply stood up. The beard on his face seemed to stand up, and his round eyes were murderous.
Wu Ning was dumbfounded when he heard this, and looked at Wu Changlu, and a different kind of realization arose in his heart:
This is the soldier of Datang - tough, fearless, and not troublesome, but he is never afraid of things!
He finally understands now why Datang was able to sweep the Eight Wildernesses and lay down such a big country.
Even though it has been 70 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the martial arts are declining, in the hearts of veterans like Wu Changlu, the glory is still there, and the courage is still the same, which is for the martial soul.
......
"Fourth uncle...... Wu Ning said slowly, "It's just two young people mixing a few words, and it's not enough to smash other people's mansions, right?" ”
"Why not!?" Wu Changlu glared, "It's bullied to our boss, really when I Wu Changlu is so good to bully!?" ”
The more I talked, the more angry I became, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, "Grandma's!" Lao Tzu will go to his mansion tomorrow to have a theory. How? You still dare to scold my nephew for being a village man? ”
"Counting up to three generations, he Sun Hongde is also a village man!"
"Eliminate gas, eliminate gas!"
Wu Ning hurriedly forgot to step forward, why was he so angry?
"What's the matter? We didn't suffer any losses, did we? ”
"That is, I didn't suffer!" Wu Changlu pouted, "Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill the government now." ”
"Huh...."
Wu Changlu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wu Ning, "Why did you persuade me?" ”
Circling around, let the little bunny go around.
......
————————
It's really not that Wu Ning is going around him, it's really from the moment he heard that it was Sun Bo'an, Wu Changlu subconsciously held back a lot of energy
- Martial artists, you can't be bullied!
He's a man who's been on the battlefield, a veteran who crawls back from the pile of dead.
He deeply knew that Datang was the Datang that the martial artists snatched back with their lives. If the martial artists are gone, who will still work hard for Datang?
This time, he was appointed by the imperial court to guard the important personnel in Beijing, which touched Wu Changlu a lot.
Although there are more than 20,000 registered soldiers in the four counties of Fangzhou, it is difficult for him to be satisfied with the recruitment of guards just this time.
The imperial court granted him to recruit 2,000 soldiers, but it was only 2,000, and Wu Changlu also tried his best to run in the four counties for more than a month before he could barely get together.
The current Datang is no longer the Tang Dynasty of the past, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to be soldiers, because even if they use their lives to fight back for military exploits, they can't get the land.
The Xuntian in the states has been occupied by the officials and the rich households, and there is no surplus left for these warriors.
And the veterans ......
Those who have money don't want their children and grandchildren to die again; If you don't have money, you can't afford to buy swords, armor, and fees.
Wu Changlu felt that if he didn't fight for the soldiers, he was afraid that there would be no one to protect the Tang Dynasty.
