In the second year of the elephant, Tianyuan Emperor Yuwenyun died suddenly, and the Zhou State then ignited the flames of war, pinching his fingers, and it has been exactly eight years now.
The past of that year, as if vividly, Anzhou Governor, Qiguo Gongyu Wenliang, led the army to attack Huangcheng, the then Huangzhou Governor's Office, and then gathered the troops of the Anzhou and Huang Governor's Mansions to fight against the army sent by Yang Jian, the auxiliary prime minister.
The governor of Xiangzhou and the lieutenant of Shu State Chi Yuan, raised troops against Yang in Yecheng, and Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou and the prince of Yongguo, raised troops against Yang in Chengdu, and the war burned to the present, and it took eight years to finally extinguish.
Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou, was defeated and died; The young emperor Yuwen explained, and suddenly died of illness after Zen Rang; Yang Jian, who seized power as a foreign relative, also died when the Zhou army entered Chang'an at the end of the previous year.
Recovering the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wei Chi Yuan, who was the pillar of the country, has passed away this year, and Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, is now Otsuka Zai, Yongzhou Mu, life is like a play, several protagonists on the stage of the year, and now there is only one person left.
And his son Yu Wenwen has been in office in Huangzhou (Bazhou) for almost seven years.
As a parent official, the history of Bazhou thorns, and now the governor of Huangzhou, Yu Wenwen, has a strong sense of presence in the hearts of the people of Huangzhou (Bazhou), and his reputation is also very good.
One-legged bronze man.. Yuwen made Jun become the head of Yuwen, Bazhou also became Huangzhou, the area of farmland has increased several times, the number of households in Huangzhou has also increased several times, all industries are prosperous, people live and work in peace and contentment, anyone who talks about Yuwen is the director, must say "good".
Since the official army recovered Guanzhong, people with a little brains know that the Sui State is like dry bones in the grave, and it won't take long to jump, and now that the Sui State is dead, it can be regarded as the dust has settled.
Hearing this news, many people sighed for a while and continued to run for a living, but for many people who have an industry, there is a faint expectation in their hearts: Sui Guo is finished, it's time for Chen Guo next, right?
The pacification of Shu by the official army has nothing to do with Huangzhou, but for Chen Yongbing, the Huangzhou Governor's Office is on the front line, so will it...
The year before last, the Zhou Sui War, the government made a large order for the Shannan Zhou army soldiers, so that the farms and various workshops in Huangzhou made a lot of money.
Sooner or later, the imperial court will use troops against Chen Guo, it is nothing more than early or late, so the first question is whether the official army will place another big order at that time, if it can prepare early, it will be able to make a lot of money, but if not, it will be discounted.
Regarding this issue, everyone has confidence in Mr. Yuwen: Mr. Yuwen will definitely take care of his own people!
So the key question is the second: when will the imperial court use troops against Chen?
There are a lot of things in the imperial court this year, just recovering the lost territory and pacifying the Sui State, normally it is necessary to recuperate, and then use troops against the Chen State after recovery, the time is on the side of the Zhou State, there is no need to rush at all.
Prime Minister Chi Cheng, the young lieutenant who had just succeeded him, thought that he would wait for his position to sit firmly before he would use troops on a large scale, so many people tended to think that the imperial court would not launch the Battle of Pingchen until next year at the earliest.
However, some people believe that the junior lieutenant Chi Cheng took office one after another, and urgently needed a battle to destroy the country to enhance his prestige, and Chen Guo was already declining, and if he could pacify Jiangnan at the beginning of his tenure, then his merits and prestige would be able to follow his father.
Whether it's this year, next year, or a few years from now, the battle will definitely be fought anyway, and it will definitely be in the fall.
The scale of the war to destroy the country is not small, and a large number of young and strong soldiers need to be requisitioned, and in order not to affect the agricultural time, it is generally necessary to wait until after the autumn and autumn harvest.
At that time, the rainy season has also passed, and it is a good season for Jiangnan to use troops, if it is this year's use of troops, then it is just right to prepare in advance, and when the orders of the officers and soldiers come, you can open your pockets and fill the money.
What if you don't fight this year? Then fold the book!
In fact, there are not many books, chickens, ducks and geese farms, you can rely on down to return to the capital, pig farm pigs, have to grow up in more than a year or two years, this year's piglets, to next year will not grow up?
Therefore, for the owner of the pig farm, I hope that the official army will start again next year or the year after next, and this year is the best time to buy piglets. ,
The news that just arrived in Xiyang at noon caused people from all walks of life to think differently, but this news failed to reach the ears of the most critical person, that is, Huangzhou Governor, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen.
At this time, Yuwenwen, not long after lunch, took his children to wander around Bakou Port, and the envoy from Anlu just sent the official news to the palace, which was not a hundred thousand urgent military information, so the government did not send people to Badong City to spread the news.
Although Bakou Port also received the news, and everyone talked about it, it was impossible for Yu Wenwen to hear it at this time, because after making popcorn and rowing in the morning, he is now taking his children to watch the play in the theater.
What kind of drama are you watching? It is a popular military drama in this era.
Joining the army drama, evolved from the excellent play, for the "play of joining the army", according to legend, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a military appointment hall Tao Ling, corruption and bribery were accused, and the emperor used a very special method to punish him.
Shi Ping was locked and taken into Beijing, and the emperor did not put him in prison, but let him attend every time he was at a banquet, and then let You Ling tease him in a playful tone: "Why is it so important to join the army?" ”
Of course, Shi Ping was very embarrassed, covering up his embezzlement, and Youling kept sarcastic, making him ashamed and embarrassed, and the guests present were made to laugh by this embarrassing and funny scene.
This kind of teasing lasted for a year, and the emperor let Shi Ping go as a warning to the soldiers, and this form of teasing gradually turned into a drama.
But there is another way of saying that "the drama of joining the army" is a story that happened in the post-Zhao Shile period, and it is also a matter of joining the army and serving as Tao Ling, corruption incidents, and being teased by the emperor, which is actually irrelevant.
There are two performers in the military drama, one of whom is dressed in green, such as an official, who is "joining the army"; A man dressed like a servant is a "falcon".
The words and deeds of joining the army are dignified, and the words and deeds of the falcon are funny, specifically tricking the army to make it ugly, and the strong funny effect can make the audience laugh, so the reward will naturally rain down.
Of course, depending on the story, sometimes it is to join the army to tease the falcon, anyway, the only purpose is to make the audience laugh.
Joining the army and Canghu are like the double cross talk actors of later generations, one is funny and the other is funny, so the military drama and the cross talk of later generations are very similar in their performance forms, so Yu Wenwen has an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the military drama.
Although he was sitting in the box, he was like the audience in the venue outside, laughing from time to time, and even laughing to the point that tears came out, and all the troubles seemed to have flown out of the clouds.
The one who does Aya is watching with relish, but the children are not interested, after all, they are too young to understand what the two on the stage say, and they don't know why they can make Aya and so many people laugh.
Yu Wenwen, who only cared about himself laughing, inadvertently caught a glimpse of his daughter Muniang napping, and saw his son Brother Que with a bitter face, and then came back to his senses: "Ah, Brother Que feels bored? ”
"Hmm..."
"So where do you want to play?"
"Aye, let's go home..."
Brother Que yawned, he and his sister were used to napping, and it was supposed to take a nap at this time, but Aya took them to the play, but he couldn't understand it at all, it was really boring.
Yu Wenwen left with his children, the owner of the theater outside the box was restless, and when he saw the nobles coming out, he hurriedly saluted, and Yu Wenwen signaled to his entourage to reward a circulation coupon: "The military drama is good, and the business is prosperous." ”
"Thank you, thank you, King..."
Walking down the stairs, Yu Wenwen met Liu Wenjing in the palace office, and led a young man who looked somewhat similar to him to come up, he nodded, and Liu Wenjing also knew each other without saying a word, and watched the mansion master leave with his children.
This is the most famous theater in Bakou Port, and the audience is full every day, so Liu Wenjing brought her younger brother to see it for a long time.
"Good!!"
The cheers sounded again, attracting Yu Wenwen's attention, and after looking at the direction of the stage, he stared, then shook his head with a smile and continued to move forward.
A scene was about to end, and among the audience, several men in ordinary clothes got up with a smile, and wanted to leave the scene first when there were few people, and one of the men pulled the young man who was still sitting on the Hu bed: "Liu Kuan, it's time to go." ”
