Chapter 190
At this moment, the evil wolf pounced on Wu Junzhen, pressed him to the ground with his front paws, and began to open his mouth to reveal his sharp teeth, as if he was going to eat him, and saliva was still showing at the corners of his mouth.
Looking at Wu Junzhen, who was lying on the ground at this moment of crisis, he blocked the wolf's claws with a stick to prevent himself from scratching, and pushed his arm up hard in an attempt to break free of the wolf's claws.
This scene frightened Zhu Youlan! She didn't know what to do, she was very nervous and wanted to get a stone to smash the wolf, but she didn't have much strength to get it, after all, the surrounding stones were relatively large, and she was injured! But there was no choice but to endure the pain and slowly walk over to pick up the stones.
All of a sudden? A thorn flew over and stuck in the wolf's body, causing him to roll over a few times on the spot and slowly vomit blood and die.
After being saved, Wu Junzhen immediately raised his head to look at the heights, and he found that he had been rescued by a farmer who seemed to have just come down from the mountain to cut firewood, in order to repay the favor and ask if there was a way out nearby? It's better to get out of this area as soon as possible.
So Wu Junzhen got up and saluted the farmer on the high place, "Thank you, uncle, for saving me!" Dare to ask the uncle what to call him, and he will repay you in the future. ”
But the farmer didn't say anything more! Instead, he turned around and picked up firewood and continued to walk down the mountain, Wu Junzhen saw this, so he picked up Zhu Youlan and walked over to wait for him at the bottom of the hillside, but the farmer still ignored him.
Instead, he glanced at him and asked, "This woman has a back injury, right?" It looks like the injury is not light! Is she your daughter-in-law or did she steal it*? ”
Wu Junzhen was speechless when he asked this! He bowed his head and replied, "She, she is, yes, it's my sister, yes, my sister is right!" ”
Seeing Wu Junzhen, who reacted temporarily, Zhu Youlan was so shocked that she immediately looked at him and thought; Yes! Unexpectedly, Wu Gongzi, who has always been low-key, has changed so much? We all know that we are adaptable!
But the farmer didn't quite believe what he said, because they didn't look alike at all? And Wu Junzhen stammered just now, obviously it was nonsense, but he still took the two of them home.
The three of them came to Xiangyuanpo not far away, where there are not many remote households, and there are mountains and forests on both sides, and they can vaguely see a large area of land that has been developed on the mountain, which should be cultivated by residents.
Along the way, the farmer saw that the man had no ill intentions, and he also helped him get a small bundle of firewood, so he let down his guard and told the situation, "I am a common man in this mountain, because my mother is old and my concubine needs to be supported, so I have come to the mountains to cut firewood for a living." ”
The curious Zhu Youlan asked, "Then dare to ask Uncle why don't you go out to the outside world to make a living, or join the army?" ”
As soon as he said this, the farmer immediately scolded with a straight face, "Join the army? Hehe! What kind of people is the imperial court? I guess the girl doesn't know yet! Since the first year of Chongzhen, the imperial court issued the Liaodong Three Salaries, stipulating that each household should pay nine taels of silver per mu of land, and many of our people's fields were occupied by wealthy merchants and squires, and some land was directly occupied by the generals of the Wei Army! In our area alone, nearly half of the land was occupied by the officers who served as city guards, and we had to flee here to cultivate the wasteland. ”
As soon as Zhu Youlan and Wu Junzhen said this, they felt that they had to take care of it! After all, the imperial court has such a tax method, and it is difficult for the people not to rebel, after all, the people take food as the sky, and how can the people live when they have no land, and the taxes should be collected from the rich merchants and gentry.
However, because Wu Junzhen had participated in the investigation of the Tongguanwei case before, he learned that the taxes of the imperial court on the wealthy merchants and squires in the whole map were all refused to be handed over by them, because they had people in the court, and the relationship was difficult to deal with for a while.
She was very sad to see the people in such distress to this point! Wu Junzhen couldn't stand it, so he took out the three taels of silver he was carrying, handed it to him, and said, "Take it!" It's as if I made reparations to you on behalf of my brothers in the guards! ”
But the farmer did not ask for his money, but went on to his home, pushed open the door made of pillars, entered the courtyard, and shouted, "Mother, I am back!" I cut a lot of firewood today, and I have to... ”
Before you finished speaking, you heard movement in the kitchen? He hurriedly walked over and took a look, and found that his child was lying on the ground motionless, and foaming at the mouth? It looks like it's been poisoned.
Still holding the uneaten overnight nest in his hand, the excited farmer hurriedly picked up the child on the ground and shouted, "Bao'er, what's wrong with you, Bao'er?" Wake up! ”
At this time, Wu Junzhen, who helped Zhu Youlan into the door, took a look and found that something was not quite right in this courtyard? There was always a strange smell all around, and he followed the smell to the kitchen and watched the farmer holding the child in a daze.
Just then a rat crawled over the pot, as if looking for something to eat? He looked at the child's body and found that it almost showed signs of chills and vomiting, which was obviously caused by the epidemic!
Wu Junzhen, who didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly spoke: "Let him go!" This child contracted the epidemic. ”
As soon as he heard this, the farmer turned his head and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Believe it or not, I'm beating you. After speaking, he got up and picked up the kitchen knife and was about to do it, but Wu Junzhen had to retreat while persuading him to calm down and listen to his explanation.
But the farmer hated Wei Suojun in the first place, and he said that his child had the epidemic, so he was even more angry and didn't fight anywhere, and he raised a knife to cut him, Wu Junzhen pressed his arm with his hand and shouted, "Uncle, calm down!" ”
At this time, Zhu Youlan walked over slowly and said, "What are you doing?" Don't fight, he is familiar with the epidemic in the barracks all year round, and he knows that there is a way to solve it, please believe him. ”
However, the farmer still didn't believe it and still slashed at him with a knife, but fortunately, Wu Junzhen thought of [Plague Theory] and didn't believe in anything else, this plague theory is a miracle doctor: Wu Youke's medical book is also somewhat well-known in the realm of Shandong Chengxuan's political division.
When he took out the book, the farmer stopped and said, "I will really read it, and I will believe you once, but I will say it in the first place!" If you can't heal or if you don't heal well, then I still want you to pay for your life. ”
Wu Junzhen nodded, he immediately asked the farmer to cut off a piece of cloth to wear a face towel, while Wu Junzhen continued to cover his face with his belt, and Zhu Youlan was the same.
Then he began to tell the farmer to bring ginger and yellow sugar to make soup to drink, to carry the child to the back room, open the window, gout, and cover his body with the quilt to sweat.
When he took the child into the house, he also found that the farmer's mother was also sick and fell to the ground due to the epidemic, fortunately, it was not serious and could be treated, so Wu Junzhen asked the farmer to cut 6 green onions, boiled them into porridge with stemmed rice, and sprinkled them with green onions when they boiled, stirred them evenly, and poured a little vinegar when they mixed it into the pot, and then let the patient take it to get rid of the epidemic.
At this moment, in the west, in the territory of Duogan Xingdusi, the king of Mingzanshan: Bulu was in prison, and a group of cavalry galloped past in the Lingzang station.
This cavalry wore iron helmets and bowls, big red peacock feathers, wore chain mail, and held spears to advance quickly, and suddenly a soldier came to the front of the team on horseback and reported to the general of the squadron: "Kang Fangyu: The king of Khan has an order, I will quickly lead my troops to the north, stationed in the Dasi Ma Wanhu Mansion, and wait for an opportunity to seize the capital of Shaanxi, Xiningwei." Then the herald withdrew.
Immediately after that, the generals on the left and right asked, "Kang Fangyu: Lord Commander Wei, do we want to obey the orders of the Khan?" ”
The well-thought-out new commander of the Longda Guard: Ulib Kunsangwang, instructed: "Kang Fangyu: Quickly contact the rest of the consolation envoys and envoys, and tell them that except for the soldiers and horses of the Wanhu Mansion and the guards of the Qianhu Office, the rest of the troops will be transferred north with all their might, and cooperate with the King of Khan to take the Shaanxi Xingdu Division." ”
On the other side, the governor of the Dashun Hou Army, who was guarding the Dusi Mansion: He Jin, heard the news that Dashun Ganzhou Zuowei Qianhu: Lu Wenbin had died in battle, he was very nervous and hurriedly transferred the troops and horses of the headquarters to lead the army in Gansu Town, and crossed the border of Shandanwei to the south across the Qilian Mountain.
Because he was in a hurry to wait for Dashun Zai Hou: the party was guarded, and when he found out, the army had already gone away, and he who learned that Brother He, who was in a hurry, would definitely suffer a big loss? Therefore, Da Shun Zai Hou sent soldiers to chase after him on fast horses, the purpose was to tell him to stabilize his emotions, and not to underestimate the enemy or act rashly! After all, this Ming border army is not ordinary, and it is best to spend time to surrender.
At the same time, the three troops and horses of the Duogan Xuanwei Division, the Duogan Dan Recruitment Division, and the Duogan Cangwen Recruitment Division in the territory of the Duogan Xingdu Division were the first to come to the outside of the city of Dasi Ma Wanhu Mansion, but the leading generals were not the people of the Duogan Xingdu Division, and the Oirat Mongols of the Heshuo Special Department?
The banner was replaced with the crown banner of the Moon Throne, and the white silk hanging on the back, representing the symbol of the khanate, also proving to the defenders that he was a warrior.
The Xining Weiming army and the two Tusi soldiers who were camped outside the city noticed the movement of the cavalry and thought they were coming to attack them? Even the defenders of the Asi Mawanhu Mansion thought so, after all, the motives of the Heshute cavalry had always been unpredictable, so they did not dare to open the city gate easily and let them pass.
It wasn't until the soldiers in front of the battle waved the yellow-red banner to the left and right, and after receiving the order, the defenders were allowed to open the city, ready to welcome the three armies into the city, and informed the friendly troops outside the city that the three armies were sent by the Khan to support them in their counterattack against the Dashun Empire.
Hearing that there were reinforcements to help, Ming Xi Ningwei Zhenfu was very happy, but after the general matter was translated, they were not happy! If it weren't for the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, where would it be the turn of the Oirat Mongols to privately occupy the Duogan Xingdu Division and manage the local administrative territory of the country, but for the sake of reinforcements, he still endured it!
Of course, the Oirat Mongols are not stupid! At present, the motive is unknown, whether it is friend or foe, and it is not yet known? After they entered the city, they met with Xining Weiming Army, Zhuanglang Tusi Soldiers, and Xining Tusi Soldiers.
Duogan, who rode at the forefront of the Heshute Division, sent a consolation envoy: Ebai Balsi Tuoli, and greeted the Ming Xiningwei Zhenfu, "Mongolian: Lord Zhenfu, I heard that you fled from Xiningwei to the territory of Duogan Xingdusi with these thousands of people, just to recover Xiningwei and fight against the Dashun Empire?" Now is the opportunity, Ben will be ordered by the Khan King to come to help you attack the Shun army, and after the matter is completed, the Weisho area north of the Dusi Mansion will belong to me and the Shute Khanate, and the eastern region will belong to you, how about it? ”
In the name of helping himself against the Liukou, in fact, in the name of seizing territory and expanding the power of the Heshute Khanate, so Ming Xi Ningwei Zhenfu was ready to refuse this request.
Unexpectedly, he was persuaded by Ming Xinning Wei Zongqi and said, "Dad, no!" If we don't agree, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to call back again! The rest is better to agree for the time being, when the time comes, the Monan Mongolian West Tumut people will definitely intervene in the fight for territory, as long as the north captives go south, then the eastern Tatars will definitely send troops to cooperate, then wouldn't it be beautiful for us? Hehehe! ”
