Chapter 307: Sacrifice to the Loyal Soul
As soon as Huang Daxiong was reminded by Yang Xiuqing and others, he immediately understood that it was impossible for him to return to the palace as his director of internal investigation, and now he could only follow Yang Xiuqing to the dark, or be imprisoned for no reason.
However, when Yang Xiuqing heard Huang Daxiong say that the emperor intended to let Ye Youji Qi Yongzhong escort Si Shi Dawei back to Beijing to listen to the seal, in order to show the conquest of the Hu people, and move some of the Hu people inward, and most importantly, the emperor was going to attack the court.
Because this time, many sons of Quan Xun were brought to the border by Yang Xiuqing to carry out the feared entitlement, which made the powerful people in the court and the central government panic, and they also struggled to a certain extent, and to a certain extent, they have challenged the emperor's bottom line.
Originally, Huang Daxiong didn't dare to say these things openly, but now that Mingwu has come over, he is not as cautious as before when he speaks, and Yang Xiuqing and others also know more inside information, especially about Wen Zheng's final help to Yang Xiuqing.
However, when Ye Youji directly said Yang Xiuqing's idea of wanting to be the owner of the island, Huang Daxiong also looked at Yang Xiuqing with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Boy, aren't you stupid, thousands of miles of wasteland, what are you doing there?"
"Hmph, Lao Huang, you don't understand this." Ye Youji drew a simple map with tea in Taiwan, not the southeast coastal land, where there is a big island, what kind of wasteland is there.
When Huang Daxiong heard that there were millions of people inside, he was uneasy, but when he heard that it was Yiren, he was also relieved, in his mind, Yang Xiuqing's move was also to open up the territory and resist the territory, but when he proposed to write directly to the emperor, Yang Xiuqing stopped it, because he didn't want to open up the territory for the emperor, it was to settle down and be a hidden land.
"Lao Huang, that piece of land can be governed by officials sent by the emperor in the future, but that's my descendants, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't want to have anything to do with the court anymore, if you insist on doing so, then you should stay away from me." Yang Xiuqing calmly pointed out the true thoughts in her heart.
That night, Yang Xiuqing, Huang Daxiong and others finally decided the pace after that, that is, Yang Xiuqing took the lead in returning to Beijing, first, there was no need for Yang Xiuqing to come here, second, Yang Xiuqing still had to go back to Beijing to deal with the matter with Wen Zheng, and third, Yang Xiuqing was ready to build a straight road in Youyun to go directly to Beijing, and those who could not speak official words would have to enter Beijing with Si Shidawei.
Yang Xiuqing also arranged for all the Hu people to ride ox carts, and those cattle could be sold to the peasants, and then Yang Xiuqing also had to prepare for the fight against the salt merchants and pirates on the southeast coast.
Even if Qi Yongzhong robbed a lot of real money in the royal court, if it was really calculated according to the next road construction and other things, then Yang Xiuqing would have to get money to make up for this gap, so Yang Xiuqing once again put his idea into the hands of those salt merchants and smuggling maritime merchants.
When Yang Xiuqing was full of thoughts about the peaceful days in the future, in the early morning, the whole city of Youyun City sounded crying and filial piety, especially the gunfire specially arranged by the military for those who died on the battlefield, which woke Yang Xiuqing up.
"What's going on outside the city?" Yang Xiuqing sat up and shouted loudly.
"Young master, the post outside the city says that it is to worship the hero." As soon as Bai Tulip heard Yang Xiuqing's exclamation, she hurriedly ran in and explained.
When Yang Xiuqing heard this, his heart darkened, and after a while, there were neat gunshots in the city again, and Yang Xiuqing came back to his senses and ordered Bai Tulip: "Quick, change clothes." ”
Bai Tulip's eyes looked at Yang Xiuqing a little helplessly, and then he directly brought over the clothes and put them in front of Yang Xiuqing: "These are the clothes that Mrs. helped the young master wash." “
Although Yang Xiuqing was a little surprised, thinking about the things outside, he was not in the mood to talk to Bai Tulip about these things, but when he picked up his clothes, he stared at the thin holes, and he felt a sigh in his heart.
"Loser, forget it, don't care about him." Yang Xiuqing turned her head and glared at Bai Tulip, who was covering her mouth and chuckling: "Go find me clothes." ”
Hearing the eagerness in Yang Xiuqing's words, Bai Tulip immediately took a new dress from the side: "Young Master, these are new." “
"Hmm." Yang Xiuqing directly withdrew his hand, but looked at the direction of the gunshots outside to see that you would not be able to do it for a moment, and then shouted loudly outside the door: "Call Yang Er and Yang San to come over to Lao Tzu." ”
What Yang Xiuqing didn't know was that when Bai Tulip happily dressed her, the corners of Bai Tulip's eyes were interested in Yang Xiuqing, but unfortunately, Yang Xiuqing didn't notice Bai Tulip's expression at all, especially when Yang Xiuqing's face was gloomy, Bai Tulip felt depressed in her heart.
When Yang Xiuqing was dressed, he strode out, and he didn't look at Bai Tulip at all, Bai Tulip sighed in his heart, this dress is just right, but when Bai Tulip turned his head to look at Yang Xiuqing again.
Yang Xiuqing was no longer there, and when Bai Tulip hurriedly ran out, he saw Yang Xiuqing walking out of the courtyard with Yang Er, Yang San and the guards, among them, Princess Wuyu greeted Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing only waved her hand lightly, and she was not in the mood to talk to her at all.
When Bai Tulip just ran over to ask Princess Wuyu, Princess Wuyu took the lead and said: "We Lao Qi didn't tell you, because I was afraid that you would not be used to seeing such scenes, you were too timid, your heart was too soft, and you were not suitable to lead the troops." ”
But at this time, Yang Xiuqing didn't stay at all, but he didn't hear Princess Wuyu's words, but his face became sad, and his eyes flashed once again with those living warriors, and the picture of his face firmly ending up with Hu Ren flashed in Yang Xiuqing's mind one by one, walking and walking, Yang Xiuqing couldn't help but cry.
Yang Er and the others beside him wanted to persuade, but they didn't know how to persuade them, so they had to hand their eyes to Bai Tulip not far away, but Bai Tulip was also confused.
Yang Xiuqing turned over the Wild Horse Queen, and he commanded Yang Er with a firm face: "Yang Er, you immediately inform Uncle Zhu that I am in the public sacrifice hero, and I am in the Zhongsoul Temple in Youyi City, the speed must be fast, money is not a matter, I can't wait." ”
When Yang Er heard this, he immediately ran to the courtyard, and Yang Xiuqing then turned his head to look at Yang San: "You also go and tell Brother Qi and the others that I want to sacrifice the heroes and ask him to rest those heroes in the Loyal Soul Temple by the way, but you must explain it clearly to those family members." ”
When Yang San rode away, Yang Xiuqing drove his horse to the outside of the courtyard, he wanted to rush directly to Youyi City, Yang Xiuqing knew that there were soldiers buried because of him, as soon as he thought of the soldiers who died at will, Yang Xiuqing's heart ached.
Although Yang Xiuqing knew that he was not good at commanding soldiers, he also tried his best not to contact with the soldiers, and tried his best to let go of Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong, but at this time, he thought of the 50,000 soldiers he brought out, and when he thought of those soldiers, he was full of joy and cheered for his loyalty when he saw him.
Zhu Zhanpeng originally calculated the Yang family's property, you must know that because of Yang Xiuqing's big hand, all the remaining silver clubs of the Yang family were issued to the soldiers as settlement expenses, if it were not for Yang Xiuqing's existence in the north at this time, the Yang family would have gone bankrupt long ago, even at this time, Zhu Zhanpeng had to force the interests of the caravan to cash out the silver.
As soon as Zhu Zhanpeng heard Yang Er's report, he immediately transferred the money that he had finally drawn out through Hua Pengzhen to transfer the soldiers of the engineer battalion in the city through Hua Pengzhen to make a series of arrangements, Zhu Zhanpeng is a traditional housekeeper, I don't know what the public sacrifice is about, and at this time, Youyun has a group of scholars who were assigned because of Yang Xiuqing's suggestion.
Because of Yang Xiuqing's prestige and Tuntian, in just one hour, Zhu Zhanpeng was ready for the public sacrifice, because of Ye Youji's powerful mobility ability that could be drawn at any time, so that in less than two hours, Zhu Zhanpeng had already taken all the east and west to Youyi City.
When Qi Yongzhong and Ye Youji heard that Yang Xiuqing was going to carry out the feared public sacrifice, they were happy and helpless, helplessly, they really heard Yang Xiuqing's soft-heartedness and self-blame, and happily that those soldiers had a belonging, and they would not be left uncared about after death.
Although before the war, Yang Xiuqing forcibly ordered many Hu girls to marry those wivesless soldiers, but the claws that were forcibly picked were sweet, even at this time, after Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong's statistics, there were few Hu girls who were pregnant, so Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong knew that it would not be long before no one remembered those soldiers who had no wives and no children.
However, Yang Xiuqing's move can solve this matter, as long as the dynasty is not extinguished in the future, then no one dares to disrespect the Loyal Soul Temple, Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong sent countless spirit cards to the temporarily transferred hearse in a crying and filial piety.
Under Yang Xiuqing's prestige and Yang Er's understanding, those family members also very agreed to place the spirit card in the Zhongsoul Temple, because of the development of the war, Qi Yongzhong did not bring the remains of the soldiers, and in the battle under Youyun City and the battle of Youyi City, due to the tension of the war, they were also burned, and the bones had been scattered to the grasslands and hills, if it were not for Yang Xiuqing's strong prestige and strong financial resources, those family members would not be so easy to talk to.
When Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong rushed to the outside of Youyi City, Yang Xiuqing led tens of thousands of soldiers to stand in full armor next to the Zhonghu Temple.
"Hero Gate, come back," Qi Yongzhong and Ye Youji shouted at the gate of the Loyal Soul Temple.
As the shouts of Qi Yongzhong and Ye Youji spread, the soldiers who followed behind them also shouted, it was really a shout, Yang Xiuqing waved his hand, and the 10,000 soldiers who had been prepared long ago also raised their guns to the sky and ignited the fire in unison.
"Bang"
As the gunshots rang out, Zhu Zhanpeng escorted countless cattle and sheep over, and immediately killed them with a knife, blood flowed, Yang Xiuqing approached the hearse with a serious face, and he nodded at Qi Yongzhong and Ye Youji.
"Send the hero home." Yang Xiuqing ordered in a deep voice.
After slaughtering cattle and sheep in the Loyal Soul Temple, countless veterans who stayed here came out, and they guided the soldiers who sent the spirit into the temple one by one, Yang Xiuqing looked at the countless spirit cards, and his eyes couldn't help but shed tears of grief.
Just when the soldiers started to send the spirit, Yang Xiuqing arranged the artillery not far away, and began to release the cannons in a unified manner, these are all sub-mother cannons, this time Yang Xiuqing concentrated all the sub-mother cannons that could be used, fortunately, Ye Youji had already trained the sub-mother cannons to concentrate fire, and still made the sub-mother cannons scattered in the queue proficient in the technique of gathering fire, so Yang Xiuqing gave an order, and those sub-mother cannons quickly assembled and opened the outside of the Loyal Soul Temple.
The whole process was not completed until it was dark, Yang Xiuqing saw the whole process as soon as it was completed, and when it was completed, Yang Xiuqing personally sent the sacrifice, and Zhu Zhanpeng handed over the sacrifice written urgently at this time.
Originally, Yang Xiuqing wanted to go up to recite the sacrificial text, but Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong were afraid that Yang Xiuqing would have any inappropriate actions, and they were also afraid that Yang Xiuqing would not be able to bear it and show weakness, so Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong volunteered.
Yang Xiuqing also understood Ye Youji's explanation, and it was difficult for Yang Xiuqing to speak clearly at this time, as soon as he opened his voice, he couldn't help but want to cry, his mind was full of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in battle at this time.
