Chapter 64: Invite Cao Wenzhao to Drink (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Qin Yiming looked confused, where did this wild child come out, misidentifying relatives, he looked at the big cow, the big cow shook his head, and looked at the little monkey, and the little monkey also said that he didn't know.
Qin Yiming didn't bother to care about these at this time, he had never heard of his own family affairs, except for knowing that he had an unsuccessful younger brother Qin Gongming, he didn't know anything else.
"General Cao, it stands to reason that when your army arrives in our Anlu territory, our county prefect should entertain your army's food, but tens of thousands of displaced people have recently come to our Anlu County, and the county gives porridge twice a day, and it is estimated that there will not be much food for entertaining." Qin Yiming talked about the situation in Anlu County, and it was clear that there was such a convention, where the army passed by, the local government prepared the food and salary needed by the army, and there had been incidents of mutiny among soldiers because the local government did not prepare military pay in time.
In October of the second year of Chongzhen, the Jurchen Tartars invaded the border, and the Shanxi general soldier Zhang Hongfeng led more than 17,000 Shanxi soldiers, in accordance with the military department's transfer, entered the king of Beijing Qin, and the military department ordered the Shanxi soldiers to live in Tongzhou, and the second day was transferred to Changping, and the third day was transferred to Liangxiang, so they were transferred to and fro, and each place only stayed for one day, but according to the regulations, the day the army arrived was not allowed to open grain, in order to save grain, the local government in the three places did not supply grain in time, and as a result, the Shanxi soldiers were hungry for three days in a row, and the Shanxi soldiers became a mutiny.
Cao Wenzhao also knew the difficulties of the local government, and wherever the army went, it had caused great pressure on the local government and people, so he said: "It's okay, we still have to rush to Shaanxi, and it is inconvenient to stay here, so we will delay the military plane." ”
Coo-coo.
Whose stomach is growling. A burly young man beside Cao Wenzhao, this voice was too loud for everyone to hear, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Bianjiao, you are rude." Cao Wenzhao said unhappily.
"General, the soldiers have been hungry for two days, and the local government of those dog days, we will help them drive away the thieves, but they are reluctant to give even a little food, it is better to let the thieves cause trouble!" Cao Bianjiao looked resentful.
"Shut up!" Cao Wenzhao was so angry that Cao Bianjiao was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, burying his head deeply.
Qin Yiming smiled at this time: "Hehe, General Cao misunderstood, blame me for only half of what he said, Anlu County does have food, but we have thousands of households that have the ability to entertain our brothers and comrades, I want to ask General Cao's army to move to my Pingli Fort, so that I can entertain you well in the evening, and thank you for saving your lives by the way." ”
"Cousin, we haven't eaten in three days!" The little female general ran over, grabbed Qin Yiming's arm, and cocked her little mouth with a pitiful expression.
"Aren't you with General Qin?" Qin Yiming wondered.
Later, Yang Baihu told him that this woman was Qin Liangyu's only daughter Ma Fengyi, and the taciturn man Ma Xianglin was Qin Liangyu's son, and Qin Liangyu was actually his aunt.
When their relatives knew that Qin Yiming had suffered from amnesia, everything was relieved.
Because Cao Wenzhao's troops were all cavalry, they arrived at Pingli Fort in two hours.
In the evening, Qin Yiming prepared the wine and food for the reception, and each person put two catties of sauced beef, a stack of peanuts, a stack of broad beans, and a plate of sweet potatoes that they couldn't eat anywhere else. In order to entertain Cao Wenzhao, Qin Yiming simply bled and took out the high-concentration soju he brewed himself.
"Today, I thought that I was more than lucky, and I was ready to live and die with Wuyang Pass, but suddenly the gods fell from the sky, thanks to the timely arrival of everyone here, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, I salute you!" Qin Yiming raised his glass first, and everyone drank it all.
Cao Wenzhao's wine entered his stomach, and he felt a hot flow burning up directly from his intestines, his body was hot, his blood flow accelerated, his head was dizzy, and the whole person had a feeling of numbness.
"It's rare to be confused in life! Wine! Only this kind of wine can be intoxicating, unlike those drinks that have no strength, life is proud when you are drunk, people can be drunk when they are most proud, good wine, good wine. Cao Wenzhao exclaimed.
"Sure enough, it's good wine, I've never drunk it!" The cousin, who didn't speak much, was silent and cold, and he actually spoke.
Ma Fengyi doesn't drink alcohol, maybe she is used to military life, and she doesn't have the delicate twist of the boudoir woman, she picked up the sweet potato and ate it in a big gulp, it can be seen that she likes it very much, and from time to time she also wipes the food in her mouth, her face is a little dark, and even a little rough, without any whitewash, but these can't hide her iconic face, and even the unique temperament that can't be found in those warblers Yanyan, the kind of strength and masculinity that can't be found in women.
"Cousin, you are so powerful, you used a few hundred people to block more than 10,000 people from the King of Sweeping and the King of Taiping for three days, they have 5,000 old camps, those people can fight, my eldest brother and I don't dare to fight with them with a thousand people, we can only follow." Ma Fengyi's thick eyebrows were slightly upturned, her eyes were bright, and she was smiling while eating.
"How do you know we've been on guard for three days?" Qin Yiming asked puzzled.
"Because we've been watching it for three days!" Qin Zuoming interjected at this time.
Damn, I killed in front for three days, and your relatives watched from the side for three days, and they didn't come to help! Qin Yiming was slightly angry in his heart.
"If it weren't for Mr. Cao's arrival, you probably would have continued to watch the show!" Qin Yiming was a little unhappy, and his brows were all black lines.
When Ma Fengyi heard this, she was a little embarrassed, shrank her head, and didn't dare to speak while eating by herself.
......
"General Cao, thanks to you today, not only did you win the battle and exterminate the two thieves of the Taiping King and the Sweeping King, but also saved the life of the lower official, and the lower official will give you another drink!" Qin Yiming said respectfully.
"Serving the country at the same time, Qin Qianhu, you don't have to be polite!" Cao Wenzhao drank it all in one gulp.
Qin Zuoming raised his glass and said: "There is a Cao in the army, and the thief is afraid. With General Cao here, we will definitely be able to exterminate the thieves and remove the biggest scourge of my Ming Dynasty! ”
Cao Wenzhao sighed and said: "The thieves are just a rabble, not to be afraid, and the real threat to my Ming Dynasty is the Tartar outside the gate!" ”
Qin Yiming looked at Cao Wenzhao, his temples were already a little white, his face was full of wind and frost, and the years had left his own traces on his face, but in the vicissitudes of this face, there was incomparable perseverance, this is my Ming general, but unfortunately, it won't be long before the fierce general in front of him will kill himself, Qin Yiming can hear Cao Wenzhao's contempt for the thief in his heart, and his death is not unrelated to his contempt for the thief.
"Since ancient times, many people have died in civil strife, the inner house is unstable, the family house is restless, and the destructive power of the thieves should not be underestimated!" Qin Yiming said cautiously.
Cao Wenzhao took a sip and said: "These thieves are all composed of some ignorant people from three religions and nine streams, a group of rabble, not a climate, and a blow and defeat, but the Jurchens outside the gate are indeed good at using soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, our army has no other way than to be able to hold on to the city." And their artillery is quite sharp, not weaker than my Ming in the slightest. ”
Cao Bianjiao also said at this time: "The Jurchens are indeed powerful, their heavy infantry is really invincible, plus the Mongols' cavalry and archery, they complement each other, fortunately they are not good at attacking cities, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Qin Yiming hasn't fought with the Tartars outside the Guan, and what he knows is only what he saw in the movie after the incident, those are definitely not true, and he has no right to speak, but in his consciousness, aren't the Jurchens all riding on horses?
"The Jurchens have hoplites?" Qin Yiming was lonely and unheard, and asked a little incredulously.
"But no, last year I fought with the Jurchens in Datong Huairen, when Lin Dan Khan died of illness in Qinghai, the anti-Huangjiao alliance he painstakingly established collapsed instantly, the Jurchens took the opportunity to conquer the Mongols in Monan, and the soldiers committed my Daming, the emperor ordered the general soldiers to guard Datong, and we were defeated, the Jurchens were not only powerful in riding and shooting, but also more powerful foot soldiers! So the Mongols have a saying that the Jurchens are afraid of me riding, and I am afraid of the Jurchen steps. Cao Bianjiao said.
