Chapter 41 Preferential treatment of Zu Dashou Preferential treatment of Concubine Zhuang Fulin

The train arrives at the kiln at night. Although it was night, before the train entered the station, the kiln could still be seen on the train with neon flashes everywhere, although the conditions of the soft sleeper room were very good, but Concubine Zhuang was not sleepy at all. Looking at the light outside the window, Concubine Zhuang had a feeling in a dream. The train finally came to a halt with a clatter. Concubine Zhuang glanced at Fu Lin, who had fallen asleep very early because she was tired from running all day, and she couldn't bear to wake him up. From the window, you can see that the passengers on the train have all gotten off and are heading outside. At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the box, and Concubine Zhuang agreed, indicating that she understood. I had to wake up the reluctant Fulin.

Concubine Zhuang looked out the window again, and there were already kiln soldiers in a circle guarding their two carriages, and then a long line of cars drove into the platform.

Concubine Zhuang pulled Fu Lin, got out of the soft sleeper box, and came to the platform under the guidance of the soldiers outside the door. The lights on the platform were shining like daytime, and Fulin had already woken up at this time, and his eyes were not enough to look around. Li Wei asked Concubine Zhuang and Fulin to get into a car. Concubine Zhuang saw that the car here was different from the one they sat in Shengjing, the car here was more comfortable, and the car was quieter when walking. How do they know that the car in Shengjing is a military car, considering the high horsepower and good off-road performance, the car here is for people to travel, especially the comfort.

Li Wei and Li Jing followed Concubine Zhuang and their convoy to the Yaogang Hotel, invited Concubine Zhuang and Fu Lin to the lobby of the Yaogang Hotel, and explained Concubine Zhuang and Fulin to the hotel manager, and then said to Concubine Zhuang and Fu Lin: "You live here for the time being, if there is anything, you can directly tell the hotel manager, our task is to send you here, and now the task is over." ”

"Trouble for the two generals along the way. Thank you! Although Concubine Zhuang felt that Li Wei and Li Jing had no good impression of them, she still thanked them from the bottom of her heart. It was these two generals who escorted them here.

Li Wei and Li Jing left, Concubine Zhuang took a look at the brightly lit hotel, under the guidance of the smiling hotel manager, they walked through the hotel lobby on the marble floor, came to the elevator, entered the elevator, the hotel manager pressed the button on the elevator a few times, and the elevator suddenly went up, so that Concubine Zhuang and Fulin were startled. The elevator stopped, and the hotel manager led them to a suite, where a waiter was already waiting. When Fulin saw the waitress here, his eyes were a little wrong. When the waiter introduced them to the facilities in the room, Fulin's eyes kept rolling on the waiter. Concubine Zhuang glared at Fu Lin vigorously when she saw the opportunity, and Fu Lin knew that she was about to make a mistake again. At this time, Concubine Zhuang and her entourage also came up and arranged accommodation for them, and the hotel manager and waiter withdrew. Leaving Fu Lin and Concubine Zhuang and their own people, Fu Lin suddenly threw himself on the spring bed and rolled over, they had never seen such a large spring bed. Neither on the boat nor on the train was so big.

Concubine Zhuang didn't care that Fu Lin was crazy in bed, and came to the balcony of the guest room, which is ten floors, and looking at the kiln gang that never sleeps from here, it is difficult to calm down. However, Concubine Zhuang thought that since she came to such a place, whether she was dead or alive, she could be regarded as coming. If you look at a place like this, you won't die in vain.

The next day, the Yaogang people did not disturb Concubine Zhuang and Fulin. In the afternoon, Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He visited Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou didn't expect the three giants of Yaogang to come to see him. Zu Dashou was not arranged in the Yaogang Hotel, he and his family were arranged in a separate courtyard.

This small courtyard was originally complete, and Zu Dashou's family cleaned up and arranged everything. Hearing the soldiers standing guard say that Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He came to visit, Zu Dashou hurriedly greeted him. Although Zu Dashou is in Liaodong, he has been paying attention to everything about the kiln gang people, and he tries to collect all the information about the kiln gang, how can he not know who Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He are. Seeing Zhang Zhimu, he hurriedly bowed his hand, "Oops! How dare you bother the three of you to come and visit! If you have something to say hello to the old man, you can do it! ”

Zhang Zhimu also arched his hand and said: "We have heard the name of General Zu for a long time, and today we arrived at Yaogang, how can we not come to visit!" ”

Everyone was polite, and followed Zu Dashou to the living room. Now Zhang Zhimu is very familiar with these polite words.

After everyone came in and sat down, Zu Dashou said, "Zhang Dongjia! You saved the lives of a certain family of my ancestors. Just don't let me do anything that is contrary to my faith. Zu Dashou believes that the reason why Zhang Zhimu saved him must be that something needs him.

Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He all laughed when they heard Zu Dashou's words.

Zhang Zhimu said: "General Zu is too worried! The reason why I didn't hand you over to the emperor is because I know that you fought for the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army at the border for more than ten years, and finally surrendered to the Qing army at Dalinghe Fort, also because there was no follow-up help, and you were trapped for too long without food and grass, and there was a tragedy of cannibalism in the city. You were forced to surrender when the Manchus swore to heaven that they would never kill the officials, soldiers, and civilians in the city. ”

Hearing Zhang Zhimu say this, Zu Dashou, a man who rolled out of the border battlefield, also clenched his fists and had tears in his eyes. The scene at the border gate seems to be still in front of me.

Zhang Zhimu continued: "General Zu later looked for an opportunity to go to Jinzhou to continue to fight against the Manchus and resist the Manchus. In the end, General Jinzhou Chengpo was captured again, and the Manchus took advantage of your righteous temperament to force you to surrender with a soft knife. However, after you descended to the Manchu Dynasty, you basically did not participate in the scourge of the Ming Dynasty, which shows that General Zu still has a scale in his heart, and we all know this. ”

After Zhang Zhimu's words were finished, Zu Dashou was already in tears. "Alas!" Zu Dashou sighed and said, "As a general fighting at the border, it's not terrible to die." But to see so many innocent people suffering with you is really watching. If there is a region, I'll go down! I thought I was going to be infamous for the rest of my life! I didn't expect Zhang Dongjia to look at me like this! Thank you very much! ”

Chen Yufeng also persuaded: "Alas! O man! Sometimes, death is not terrible. I'm afraid that if you can't die if you want to, if you die, more people will suffer, can you die? ”

Zu Dashou bowed his hand to Chen Yufeng, thanking him for this understanding, and couldn't say a word.

Ouyang He said: "General Zu, I hope you can also understand. Whatever one may say, you surrendered to the Manchus. This kind of thing is not understood by everyone. And on the positive side, no matter what the reason, it can't encourage the approval of surrender to the enemy, does it? ”

"Yes, yes!" Zu Dashou hurriedly said, "What Mr. Ouyang said is that if that happens, everyone can find a reason to surrender, and I know this. I don't have the luxury of expecting more people to understand, so you deserve to send me to Beijing and be executed by Ling Chi! ”

"We are here today to make a suggestion to General Zu, your whole family should live a new life incognito. Try not to contact old friends in the past, so that it is good for you and good for us. What does General Zu think? Ouyang He suggested. Suggestion is also an arrangement.

Of course, Zu Dashou said yes in a row.

Ouyang He told him what to do again. The kiln people will redesign their identity, and no matter how specific things are, someone will come to help them.

After Zu Dashou thanked the people of Yaogang for their thoughtfulness, he was also anxious to make meritorious contributions, and said: "Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan is my nephew, if necessary, I can write to you to persuade them to cooperate with you." He should also be aware of current affairs! ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Thank you very much General Zu. If we need it, we will definitely come and ask General Zu. ”

Ouyang He said: "We will consider everything in the kiln gang comprehensively. We can't leave Shanhaiguan behind. When General Zu needs to come forward, he will definitely not be polite! ”

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He asked a lot of Zu Dashou about the Mongols in Mobei. Zu Dashou has been at the border for many years, and he has also talked a lot about his views on the Mongols, and has also put forward some suggestions, which shows that Zu Dashou has indeed seriously thought about the border pass.

In the end, Zu Dashou asked: "I don't know whether to ask or not, you are going to deal with the Mongols in Mobei?" ”

Ouyang He said: "We are making this preparation! ”

"Good! It's time to solve this hidden danger. Zu Dashou said, "With your military strength, it is not a problem to defeat the Mongols. The problem is that the Mongolian side has a vast territory, and they are all cavalry. It is not easy for you to catch them. And they hit you and run, that's the problem. Then you go and fight them, and they run away, and you come back, and they come back. So it's better to get the situation right for them, make a surprise attack, surround them and destroy them. If you don't dislike it, let the old man go to the battlefield with you! The old man got on the horse and could deal with a few Mongols! "Speaking of fighting the Mongols, Zu Dashou is still a hero.

"Huh! General Zu's arrogance is still there! Zhang Zhimu smiled and said, "General Zu's suggestion will be taken into account." But there is no need to let the old general go into battle. To tell the truth, General Zu, if our cavalry generals lead the cavalry to fight with the opponent's saber, Mr. Chen will be able to kill him when he comes back! ”

"Even? Why is that? The cavalry relies on the cavalry to quickly attack the sabre and slash and kill? "Zu Dashou is still talking about the tactics he used to fight.

Ouyang He smiled and said, "That's all old tactics. We now use cavalry primarily with their ability to maneuver quickly. To kill and injure the opponent, we still rely on our firearms to kill from a distance. We absolutely do not allow the way in which 10,000 enemies are annihilated and 8,000 are self-inflicted. Later, when we have time, we can talk about tactics well. ”

"Oops! If you have time, the old man must ask Mr. Ouyang for advice. "Zu Dashou and Zhang Zhimu The three of them talked about this, and they have already put their hearts in their hearts. Interest in military tactics also came up.

"Let's not ask for advice, let's learn from each other!" Ouyang He said, "Our command center often conducts sand table deductions, and General Zu can go and see it when he has time." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" With Ouyang He's words, Zu Dashou was extremely happy in his heart. He knew that he could discuss military affairs with them, which showed that the kiln people didn't treat themselves too much as outsiders. However, Zu Dashou knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and the reason why the people of Yaogang work so themselves as a traitor is definitely not just because they have served on the battlefield for more than ten years before. But Zu Dashou was also confused, and he offered to persuade his nephew Wu Sangui, but the people of Yaogang didn't seem to be interested. How did he know that Wu Sangui's affairs didn't have to worry about his uncle at all, Li Yan had already dealt with Wu Sangui's affairs. What the people of Yaogang think, Zu Dashou couldn't understand, but what he understood was that he and his family didn't have to die. That's enough!

In fact, how to use Zu Dashou in Yaogang is not as Zu Dashou thinks, it is already very clear, this thing is sometimes, like a chess piece on the cloth, as for when to use and how to use, it depends on the situation at the time.

Out of the door of Zu Dashou, Ouyang He also asked Zhang Zhimu, "Mr. Zhang!" Such a person, we are so courteous, not just because he is a border veteran, right? ”

"Actually, I didn't think about it that much," Zhang Zhimu said, "but on the way back from escorting them, I suddenly felt that General Zu and the other traitors were not exactly the same." In Dalinghe, he surrendered, really because he considered the soldiers and civilians in the city, not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death. Later, he was captured in Jinzhou, and Huang Taiji moved him by not killing him. For a person like him who preaches righteousness, Huang Taiji's methods are clever. Where is he Huang Taiji's opponent, the good news is that although Zu Dashou has fallen, his conscience is still there, and he did not bite his master like Hong Chengchou and them, which is more powerful than a wolf! As for General Zu's usefulness, it's hard to say now, but I think it will still be useful! ”

"This is also the same as Fan Wencheng, it is an idle move! Hehe! Ouyang He somewhat understood.

On the third day of Concubine Zhuang's arrival at Yaogang, Zhang Zhimu and Huang Yukun came to visit Concubine Zhuang and Fulin.

The manager of the hotel personally reported to Concubine Zhuang and Fulin: "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Huang have come to visit you!" ”

Concubine Zhuang's face showed a little nervousness, but she quickly calmed down and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I know it's Zhang Dongjia, who is that Huang?" ”

"Mr. Huang is our Mr. Zhang's wife! Hehe! "In the past two days, the manager of the hotel has become familiar with Concubine Zhuang, no matter how big or small, Concubine Zhuang has to look for him. They also spoke a little more casually.

However, Concubine Zhuang was still a little surprised that Zhang Zhimu and his wife came to visit them together. In their Qing Dynasty, it was impossible for a woman to go out with a man to do things.

Zhang Zhimu and Huang Yukun came to the living room, Concubine Zhuang and Fulin were up to greet them, Zhang Zhimu bowed his hand and said, "Concubine Zhuang, Fulin, it's good to rest!" Considering that you have been in the dust all the way and need to rest, I didn't bother yesterday! Today I am visiting you with my wife! As he spoke, the entourage behind him brought some fruit gifts.

"Ouch! Thank you Zhang Dongjia and his wife! I'm already causing you trouble! How dare you come to visit our mother and son! Please be seated! Concubine Zhuang's words were also very decent. Concubine Zhuang looked at Zhang Zhimu in front of her, who was really very easy-going as Fan Wencheng said, but she still felt that something was missing, and there should be no majestic posture. But Concubine Zhuang also understands that this is the kind of person who will be like hitting cotton if you punch him, you will never be able to hurt him, but you can't hide from him if he hurts you.

After sitting down, Huang Yukun said: "How did you come here, there may be a lot of places you are not used to, what do you need, you can tell me in the future." The logistics affairs here in the kiln gang are under my control, so don't be polite. ”

Listening to Huang Yukun's words, Concubine Zhuang was a little surprised, Zhang Zhimu's wife was still in charge, which made her unexpected, so she quickly said, "Thank you, madam!" I will inevitably trouble you in the future! ”

"Huh!" Hearing Concubine Zhuang call her Mrs., Huang Yukun was still very unaccustomed to it, smiled and said, "The days will be long in the future, I don't think you will call me Mrs. anymore!" You and I are about the same age, so call me Yukun! I'm not used to it, I also take care of something in the kiln, and it's okay to call me Mr. Huang. Hehe! Everyone calls it that, and I'm used to it! ”

Concubine Zhuang didn't expect the dignified looking woman in front of her to be so generous and cheerful, and she said in her heart that she was really worthy of this Zhang Zhimu, "Okay!" Then I'm welcome, I'll call you Yukun in the future! "Concubine Zhuang is a fast-thinking woman, and she knows that there is no harm in being able to match Zhang Zhimu's wife with this title. Just by virtue of this title, others will look at me differently.

While speaking, Zhang Zhimu saw that Fulin and Concubine Zhuang were sitting on a sofa, half-hiding behind Concubine Zhuang. The heart said, this is the original Shunzhi Emperor in history? In his previous life, in those Qing palace braid dramas, he was a majestic emperor on all sides. Why is it such a bear now? He didn't even dare to look at me.

After being polite, Zhang Zhimu knew that it was time to get down to business, "Concubine Zhuang, Fulin, since you have been on the "Book Descending Table", we are not enemies!" In any case, your "Book of Descending Orders" has played a great role in reducing war casualties and ending the war in Liaodong as soon as possible, which is also your contribution. I want to thank you! In the future, we will be responsible for supplying your expenses in the kiln. You will receive the courtesy we deserve in the kiln. But what I want to say is that the Qing Dynasty no longer exists, and neither do the Qing Dynasty's mothers and emperors. In the past, it was easiest to put you to death. But I know that it wasn't you who attacked Daming and killed him. The current emperor is very small, and the decision was not made by him. It's not fair to treat you like that. But I keep you and treat you preferentially, and I hope that you will not do things that are incompatible with your status, and stay away from politics. This is a bottom line that cannot be crossed. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you. As long as you do this, we are responsible for your safety in the kiln. I assure you that you have all the right to freedom in the kiln. You are free to live your life the way you like. Your house will be able to live in the kiln until the end of the year. These days, you're staying in a hotel now. If there is anything in life, you can go directly to my wife. ”

Zhang Zhimu's few words, Concubine Zhuang was convinced. The praise was said, and the request was also said, but Concubine Zhuang felt that Zhang Zhimu's request was not too much, and even exceeded her original imagination, she originally thought that she would at least be under house arrest when she arrived at Yaogang. The only requirement is that you can't think twice and then think about rebellion, which is the minimum requirement. In that case, of course, people don't bother to do it, and just execute themselves.

Concubine Zhuang hurriedly said: "Fulin is still too young, I'll say it for Fulin." As the king of the fallen country, we can be so courteous to you, far beyond my imagination. Thank you so much. We promise not to mention the past again, and we just want to live a good life like ordinary people in Yaogang! Please Zhang Dongjia and Mr. Huang, hey! Yukun rest assured, although I am a female streamer, I know it in my heart. We don't do anything out of the ordinary. ”

Zhang Zhimu saw Concubine Zhuang say this, and also said: "That's good!" ”

Huang Yukun saw that what he had to say was finished, and immediately said, "Concubine Zhuang, you have rested, just take the child around!" Getting outside can change your mood! This is some pocket money, and we will give it to you on a monthly basis in the future! You can take your children and go buy some clothes and other supplies. ”

Concubine Zhuang saw Huang Yukun take out a stack of banknotes, and hurriedly said, "Oops! I can't help it, how can I use so many banknotes! She knew it was worth a lot of silver. Yesterday, she exchanged the broken gold she had brought for some kiln coins and tried to buy some things at the hotel, and it was a very good feeling. In the past, in Yongfu Palace, there was no chance to go out and spend money to buy things. Everything was bought by others and sent to the palace. So Concubine Zhuang knew that such a stack of banknotes was worth a lot of silver.

Huang Yukun said: "Concubine Zhuang! You went out and entered the Yaogang shopping mall, you can say that there are not many banknotes! Hehe! Let me tell you, in the kiln! How many banknotes are also not enough. Hehe! Besides, you have just arrived, and most of the clothes you wear have to be changed. All the new things in our Ming Dynasty, including clothes, started to rise from our kiln! Don't stay at home, that's a big loss! There are new movies coming out in the near future, and you can also go and see the movies. Every day there are movies in the cinema! ”

"Huh! yes, I should also buy Fu Lin some clothes that I can wear in the kiln. Otherwise, look at what we're wearing here like monsters. ”

"That's nothing!" Huang Yukun said, "You go to the street and look at it, there are all kinds of clothes on the street." There are all nationalities, even all countries. No one cares what others wear! Just be happy! ”

Listening to Huang Yukun and Concubine Zhuang talking between women for a while, Zhang Zhimu felt that it was time to say goodbye and said, "Okay! Yukun, let's stop disturbing people's rest! Let's go! He stood up.

Huang Yukun had no choice but to stand up and said with a smile: "Look at it! What Concubine Zhuang and I said is lively, you can't sit still! Alright! Concubine Zhuang, we'll talk about it again when we have time! If you don't want to stay in the hotel, you can come to my office and sit! ”

"Good! I'll definitely check it out when I have time! In a short period of time, Concubine Zhuang really fell in love with Huang Yukun. She's never spoken to someone like this. In the palace, the people she met were either bullying her or being bullied by her.

After Zhang Zhimu and Huang Yukun went out, Concubine Zhuang was still reminiscing about what they had just talked about. Especially Huang Yukun dared to joke with Zhang Zhimu in front of outsiders. It's incredible, is this what the kiln people say about equality?

Seeing Concubine Zhuang in a daze, Fu Lin stopped doing it and said, "Eniang! They said, we can go out on the streets ourselves. Let's go out and have a look! "Fu Lin looked at the kiln from the balcony and wanted to go out and have a look!

"Good! Son, we'll get them out of the car right away and take us out for a walk! Concubine Zhuang retracted her thoughts and said happily. She knew that the one who had just come to see them was the one who could decide their fate. They assured her that there would be no problem with their own safety and that of Fulin. I don't know why, Concubine Zhuang just believes in Zhang Zhimu and his wife.

Concubine Zhuang and the people who came to Yaogang on the way, two days later, they were all happy. But for those people taken away by the prince, the days were just the opposite.
