In the evening, in the backyard of Zhang's house, Zhang Shihua, who had dealt with things for the day, returned home, and this was also the first time he returned home since he started the army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhang Shihua returned home, it was already very late at night, and because he didn't tell his wife that he was coming back tonight, his wife Guo Weier had already fallen asleep when he came back.

Zhang Shihua wanted to push the door open and enter the house, but found that the door had been bolted by Guo Weier from the inside, so Zhang Shihua stood outside the door and knocked lightly. Although the knock on the door was not loud, the sleeping wife in the house still heard Zhang Shihua's knock.

Then Zhang Shihua, who was standing outside the house, heard Guo Weier in the room ask with a sleepy voice: "Who, is it Xiaohong?" ”

"Wei'er, it's me." Zhang Shihua said.

Guo Wei'er in the room heard Zhang Shihua's words, and said with a little surprise: "Is it an official, wait a minute, the slave family will open the door." ”

And Zhang Shihua, who was outside the house, heard Guo Weier's surprised voice, but felt distressed for no reason, so he whispered "En" and stood quietly outside the house.

Candles soon lit up in the room, and then Guo Weier opened the door for Zhang Shihua.

After the door opened, Zhang Shihua stood outside the door, looking at his wife, who was slightly emaciated because he was worried about himself. A strong feeling of pity surged into Zhang Shihua's heart, making Zhang Shihua hug his wife tightly the moment he saw her.

And after Guo Weier was hugged by Zhang Shihua, she also hugged Zhang Shihua with her backhand, and pillowed her head on his broad chest, feeling so relieved. And Zhang Shihua kissed his wife's forehead lightly, then sniffed her hair and said softly: "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”

And Guo Weier, who heard Zhang Shihua's words, put her head on Zhang Shihua's chest and said softly to Zhang Shihua: "I often hear the old man say that the husband and wife are like people with two bodies and one life, and everything the officials do is also for this family, so why should the officials say sorry." ”

When Zhang Shihua heard his wife's words, he kissed his wife's smooth forehead again, and said to her softly: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for." With that, he grabbed Guo Weier into the house and closed the door with his feet.

When the candlelight in the room was blown out again, there was no need to say much about the spring wind and rain.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Shihua put on a suit of armor under the service of his wife Guo Weier. Looking at the worry hidden in his wife's eyes, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but clench her hand and comforted: "I will come back after a trip to Yingzhou City this time, that is, three or five days, you don't have to worry about me." It's yourself, you must raise yourself for nothing these days, if you don't take good care of yourself, see how your husband comes back to clean you up. ”

As he spoke, he twisted his wife's pretty face lightly, knowing that there were still maids Xiaohong and Second Sister Wang watching next to her, Zhang Shihua's behavior made Guo Weier shy. However, this undoubtedly washes away the sadness of the separation of husband and wife.

After Zhang Shihua put on his armor, he kissed his wife Guo Weier lightly, and then walked out of the room with his wife. When he arrived at the front yard, Zhang Shihua strode out of the house under the gaze of his wife, Aunt Xue, father and other elders in the family, and Zhao Jiu had already led a team of 100 people waiting for Zhang Shihua outside the door.

Zhao Jiu and Li Wu and other guards saw Zhang Shihua come out, and hurriedly brought a war horse for Zhang Shihua, and after Zhang Shihua turned over and got on the horse, he led the team to leave Taihe Xian under the gaze of his relatives at home.

At the south gate of the county seat, Xu Ming and Sheng Wu also led the guards to assemble, and as soon as Zhang Shihua arrived, everyone left Taihe Xian with a team of 200 people and rushed towards Yingzhou City in the southeast.

The 100 people led by Zhang Shihua to Yingzhou City this time were not the veterans of the Inspection Division, but the newly formed 100 new troops, of which there were only 20 veterans, and the rest were all newly recruited. And he only took his donkey brother Zhao Jiu to Yingzhou City with him, as for Zhang Shihui, he was left in the county seat by Zhang Shihua, after all, he left, and the county town always had to leave a Zhang family who knew the soldiers.

As for why Zhang Shihua only brought these soldiers, the reason is also very simple, Zhang Shihua went to Yingzhou City just to pay homage to the dock, and he didn't want to fight with Liu Futong, why did he bring so many soldiers. And now Taihe Xiancheng is the real foundation of Zhang Shihua and the Zhang family, if Zhang Shihua takes away all the elite soldiers, if there is any accident, it will be too late to regret it.

Besides, Zhang Shihua is now a model set by Liu Futong for the people of the world, so when Zhang Shihua arrives in Yingzhou City, he doesn't have to worry about his own safety at all, and even so, he doesn't have to bring so many elite soldiers.

And now, because Yingzhou City is more than 100 miles away from Taihe Xian, and most of these 200 people are foot soldiers, so Zhang Shihua and them rushed to Yingzhou City, and it is estimated that it will take a day and a half.

Because the time was not short, and the march was very boring, in order to pass the time, Zhang Shihua naturally chatted with Xu Mingsheng and them. Of course, it was the three of them chatting, but in fact, most of the time Zhang Shihua was chatting with Sheng Wu, after all, Zhang Shihua and Xu Ming had known each other for a long time, and the two sides were almost the same, so there was really nothing to talk about.

And more importantly, Zhang Shihua is also very curious about the Sheng Wenyu Sheng who Sheng Wu followed, after all, Sheng Wenyu is a Yuanmeng Jinshi who is a serious child, you must know that the Yuanmeng Dynasty has held a total of 12 imperial examinations (Note 1) until now, and the Han and Mongolian clans together have less than 1,000 Jinshi, and because of the uneven distribution of quotas, the Jinshi from Han people among the 1,000 Jinshi are 400 people at the top, and there are even fewer Han Jinshi who are still alive now.

After becoming a jinshi, he still carries the red flag and anti-red flag, and it is estimated that Sheng Wenyu is the only one now, so Zhang Shihua will naturally be curious about Sheng Wenyu's experience. After all, in terms of background, the Sheng family is definitely a serious landlord class; Wheel status, the Sheng family is also a real upper-class person, you must know that Sheng Wenyu's father Sheng Tianxiang is the imperial history of the ZJ Metropolitan Inspectorate.

The son of an official eunuch or a jinshi of the ruling class wants to make a revolution and rebellion, which is a rare thing no matter which dynasty or generation.

So for such a rare thing, Zhang Shihua couldn't suppress his inner curiosity, which was completely normal.

And for Zhang Shihua to have such curiosity, Sheng Wu didn't feel anything, because there were too many people with such curiosity. Besides, Lord Sheng Wenyu Sheng, the reason for the rebellion is not a secret, and there is really no need to hide it.

So when Zhang Shihua showed this curiosity, Sheng Wu also told Zhang Shihua about it generously.

And after Zhang Shihua listened to Sheng Wu's story, he also roughly understood why Sheng Wenyu rebelled with a group of peasant soldiers. To put it bluntly, it is related to the ethnic discrimination system of the Yuan and Mongolian courts, we all know that the Yuan Dynasty had a four-class civil system, and the highest status among these four-class people is naturally the Yuan and Mongolian people, and then the Semu people, Han people and Nan people.

Here we have to talk about the difference between the Han and the southerners, although the southern Han and the northern Han are both Han people, but because of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin State, the north and the south have been hostile for more than 100 years. Although the Yuan and Mongolian courts later reunified China, in the eyes of the rulers of the Yuan and Mongolians, the northerners belonged to the Jin State and the remnants of the Jin Dynasty were the northerners, and the southerners were the Great Song Dynasty and the southerners were the southerners, and they did not belong to the same nation.

And because the southerners resisted the Yuanmeng court for the longest time, and they were also the last conquered country, the Yuanmeng court looked at the southerners very unpleasantly at the beginning. Coupled with the large population in the south and the fact that it was particularly wealthy, it was natural that the Yuan and Mongolian rulers would also increase the oppression and exploitation of the southern region.

But the Chinese people have never been a sheep who are obedient, since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", the gene of resistance has been deeply rooted in the blood of the Chinese people, not to mention that there is such a successful example as Liu Bang's predecessors, so no matter which dynasty and generation, we China has never lacked warriors who dare to challenge power.

Therefore, the unfair treatment and oppression of the southerners by the Yuan and Mongolian courts naturally caused the southerners to rebel and rebel repeatedly. At its most exaggerated, the common people in the south rebelled more than 400 times in a year, almost every day.

Author's words: "The Yuan Dynasty held sixteen imperial examinations (referred to as the Yuan Sixteenth Examination)" and before the eleventh year of Zhizheng, a total of twelve were held.
