Chapter 177: Self-Expression
After seeing the successful manufacture of plate armor and hydraulic forging machine, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but look forward to the future, and the happiness and excitement in his heart were indescribable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo after that, Zhang Shihua did not return to Wuyang in a hurry, but stayed in the mine and feasted with the generals and officials under his command and the officials in the mine.
In Zhang Shihua's big tent, on the wine table, Zhang Shihua and the generals were all pushing glasses and changing lamps, so uncomfortable.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and everyone drank a little fluttering, Zhang Shihua raised his glass and looked at the generals under the tent, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Now, in the world, as far as the eye can see, there are all Tartar barbarians. Such barbarians, crowned by monkeys, have been stealing the land of China for 80 years. ”
"In the past 80 years, the men of my Han family, in order to defend the land and restore the country, have buried their bones in other places with blood. He wrote "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang" in Japanese, expressing his ambition that he did not want to be under one person and above ten thousand people, and only wanted to 'keep Dan's heart and sweat'. Its loyalty is respectable and lamentable! ”
"Today, I am emulating my ancestors and doing the things of the Tangwu Revolution. But I don't know, what are your aspirations? ”
When the generals in the tent heard Zhang Shihua's words, they couldn't help but put down the wine in their glasses. However, among them, only Zhang Mingtong was still drinking by himself, Zhang Shihua saw this, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Zhang Mingtong, looked at him and asked: "Mingtong, would you like to show your ambition and let me hear it?" ”
When Zhang Mingtong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he was a little drunk, he couldn't help but put down the wine in the cup, looked at Zhang Shihua and said: "Mingtong me, fate is humble, my mother died before I can remember, and my father died when I was five years old." ”
"To make a living, I had to beg and steal. For as long as I can remember, it can be said that I have done all the despicable things. However, when I was eight years old, the general, you did not care about my humble birth, took me into my home, gave me food, clothing, and my surname, and taught me to read and do things for others. Therefore, in this life, there is no hope, but I want to be an eagle dog under the sword in the general's hand, and sweep away the enemies of the world for the general. ”
When he said this, Zhang Mingtong had already knelt on the ground, and his expression was extremely solemn, as if he was swearing just now.
When Zhang Shihua saw this, his eyes couldn't help but redden. I saw him slowly stand up from his seat, and slowly walked to Zhang Mingtong's position, personally helped Zhang Mingtong who was kneeling on the ground up, held his arm, and said to the others in the tent: "Mingtong, my brother too." ”
When the generals in the tent saw this scene, they couldn't help but raise their glasses to Zhang Mingtong again.
After everyone raised their glasses again, Zhang Shihua returned to his seat and drank a lot of wine with everyone, and then asked: "I still know the heart of Mingtong, but I don't know what to wait for, what is your ambition?" ”
When the generals in the tent heard Zhang Shihua's words again, they couldn't help but express their ambitions one after another under the influence of alcohol.
Yang Xitong, an old craftsman, hopes that he can go down in history and become a figure like Zhaogong Dumu; Guo Yu wanted to be like Huo Hussar in the Western Han Dynasty, expedition to Saibei, and seal the wolf Juxu; And Bai Xi wants to achieve something immortal in the troubled times.
As for the ambitions of the other generals in the account, I will say no more. only said that after Bai Xi was drunk and finished talking about his ambitions, his face was flushed because of drunkenness, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Shihua on the big tent and asked: "We all express our ambitions, but I don't know what ambitions you have, General?" ”
When all the generals in the tent heard Bai Xi's words, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the main seat. Seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but pick up his wine glass, looked at the generals under the tent and said: "I have a small ambition and a big ambition, I don't know if you want to listen to that?" ”
"Please tell the general, why is the small ambition and the big ambition?" Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, the generals in the tent couldn't help but ask again.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua smiled, put down the wine glass, pointed directly to the sky with his hand, and said to them: "My little ambition is to expel the Tartars and support China, and Kyushu will have no soldiers from now on." After saying this, Zhang Shihua grabbed the knife and stood up from his seat, looked down at the generals in the tent and said again: "My great ambition, I hope that within the four seas, between the eight directions, all the sun-drenched places are Han land, and all the civilizations of all ethnic groups are Han style." ”
Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Bai Xi and the others couldn't help but put down the wine in the cup, and all the generals in the tent looked at Zhang Shihua with reverence, among which Bai Xi knelt down to the proud Zhang Shihua with reverence on his face and said: "Minister Bai Xi is willing to set up an eagle dog for the general and help the general create great ambitions." ”
Seeing Bai Xi like this, everyone else also knelt down and said: "The ministers are willing to set up eagle dogs for the general, help the general create great ambitions, and help the general create great ambitions......"
……
On the second day, Zhang Shihua, who had woken up, slowly opened his eyes, and at this time he was already on the rise.
After waking up, Zhang Shihua couldn't help touching his head, and then when he remembered his ambition in front of everyone last night, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face. At the same time, he couldn't help but laugh at himself secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect that I would vomit the truth after drinking." ”
Yes, yesterday's words were really what Zhang Shihua really thought in his heart. At the beginning, it was Zhang Shihua who raised troops in Taihe at the beginning, and he naturally didn't have such great ambitions in his heart, and at that time he just thought that he could be alone and his family in the troubled times.
But, when there are more and more soldiers under his command, when his strength grows greater. He is a modern man at heart, and he has a strong national consciousness, so he will inevitably have the idea of 'helping the world'.
As for whether revealing his true ambition like this will cause trouble to himself, Zhang Shihua is not worried about this issue at all. After all, he is just showing his ambitions, whether he said that he wants to be arbitrary and ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Liu Futong cannot suspect him of rebellion because of this.
Besides, even if Liu Futong doubts him, what can he do, can Liu Futong still have to fight with him because of his suspicions, what kind of jokes. Moreover, take another 10,000 steps back and say, Zhang Shihua, who has so many elite soldiers under his command, even if Liu Futong wants to fight with him, it is not certain who will win and who will lose, Zhang Shihua is worried about a ghost.
Of course, I won't mention these later words for the time being, but just talk about the present. When Zhang Shihua woke up, Zhang Shihua, who had washed up and finished eating, couldn't help but gather Yang Xitong and the generals in the army again.
When Zhang Shihua issued the convening order, it was already noon, and Guo Yu and Yang Xitong had already woken up. Therefore, after receiving Zhang Shihua's summoning order, these people naturally rushed to Zhang Shihua's Chinese army camp one after another as soon as possible.
And when these people rushed to the camp one after another, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting on the seat of the big tent master, couldn't help but say to them: "Ah Yu, Mingtong, Bai Xi, the three of you, pass on my military order, let the soldiers prepare to pull out the camp, and after an hour, the army set sail and return to Wuyang City." ”
When Guo Yu and the others heard Zhang Shihua's words, they naturally responded loudly, and then retreated. And after the three of them retreated, Zhang Shihua looked at Yang Xitong and couldn't help but arrange for him: "Master Yang, from today onwards, the matter of plate armor and hydraulic forging machine will be listed as the top secret in our army. ”
"Without my own command, the method of making these two things must not be spread to the outside world, and if you find that a craftsman dares to divulge this method, you can cut it first and then play it. Otherwise, once the method of making these two things spreads, I will ask you, understand? ”
After hearing Zhang Shihua's serious and ruthless words, Yang Xitong naturally knew the importance of this matter. Therefore, as soon as he heard this, he also hurriedly stood up from his seat, and bowed his head and assured Zhang Shihua: "Please rest assured, even if the lower official dies, he will never leak the method of making these two things." ”
Hearing Yang Xitong's serious assurance, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nodded. Then, after a pause, he continued: "Master Yang, from now on, you can put all your mind on building weapons for the time being. As for the mine, your son Yang Shan is in charge, do you think it's okay? ”
And when Yang Xitong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he naturally didn't allow it, after all, this was a great thing for their father and son.
And after Zhang Shihua saw that Yang Xitong agreed to this matter, he continued to discuss some plate armor building with Yang Xitong. And in this time, Yang Xitong also assured Zhang Shihua that after a month, it could increase the output of plate armor to 300 pairs per month.
For this output, Zhang Shihua is also quite satisfied.
After all, now, the mining work in Wuyang and Yexian has just begun, and Zhang Shihua believes that as long as the two places develop, the output of plate armor will definitely reach a new high in the future.
Therefore, after getting a satisfactory news, Zhang Shihua also waved his hand to let Yang Xitong retreat. After Yang Xitong left, Zhang Shihua also ordered the three armies to return to Wuyang City with his soldiers.
It was still evening when he led the army back to Wuyang, but who made Wuyang's county Yin Thursday nine. With him as the county Yin, Zhang Shihua and they are such a triumphant division, it is naturally impossible for no one to greet them. On the contrary, not only were there people who greeted them, but many of them greeted them.
Anyway, this guy on Thursday Jiu, after Wuyang didn't have any high-ranking families who could take the stage, he was stunned to pull out the heads of the six houses and the heads of the third class of officials he recruited to make up the number.
As for Thursday Jiu's behavior of slapping horses, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but feel a little crying and laughing. However, Zhang Shihua himself has no objection to this situation. Although the people who greeted him were all the people who were forced to make up by this guy on Thursday, at least Zhang Shihua's face was passable.
So after seeing Thursday and September, Zhang Shihua also praised him with a smile in front of everyone.
And for Zhang Shihua's affirmation, this guy on Thursday Jiu is naturally overjoyed. Therefore, after Zhang Shihua praised him, he proposed on Thursday Jiudang, hoping that Zhang Shihua could appreciate his face, and they would prepare a celebration banquet for the army.
But this time, Zhang Shihua didn't reward him for this face. After all, what kind of character this guy is on Thursday, Zhang Shihua really knows too well. This guy is completely the master who gives a little sunshine. If Zhang Shihua agrees to him this time, next time this guy will make a moth in order to shoot his own ass.
Besides, the rewards and banquets for the soldiers were all completed by Zhang Shihua as early as the day when the army broke through Fangcheng. Returning to Wuyang to do it again, it is completely redundant, it is not necessary at all, and Zhang Shihua naturally will not agree.
Therefore, after Zhang Shihua vetoed the celebration banquet on Thursday 9, he did not take the generals under his command to hold any celebration banquets. But after leading his soldiers back to the camp, Zhang Shihua returned home with Li Wu and other personal guards.
Now, because of Zhang Shihua, the Zhang family is actually separated. After all, although Zhang Shihua's cousin Zhang Shihui and second uncle Zhang Liewen are Zhang Shihua's relatives, they are also Zhang Shihua's subordinates in another aspect.
With such a relationship, everyone is living together, and it will inevitably be embarrassing. Therefore, it is better to live separately.
Of course, even so, Zhang Shihua is not the master of the family. After all, Zhang Shihua's father Zhang Liewu is still alive, in this era of the greatest filial piety, even if his son becomes the emperor. At home, they nominally have to listen to their father.
However, Zhang Shihua's father Zhang Liewu also knew that his son had grown up. Therefore, even at home, Zhang Liewu rarely interferes in his son's affairs, let alone asks about his son's affairs outside.
The current Zhang Liewu is actually like an ordinary old man. Nowadays, what he is most willing to do every day is to find a few peers who can talk to him, and play chess, fishing, or something together. It can be said that since the day he moved to Nanyang, Zhang Liewu has stopped asking about his son's affairs outside.
Because Zhang Liewu knew that meddling in his son's career as his father would only make it difficult for his son, and he would not be able to help his son at all.
And Zhang Shihua was naturally extremely moved by his father's selfless dedication. After all, only he knows how uncomfortable and painful it is for a person like Xiang Father, who is extremely ambitious and has been busy with work for half his life, to become idle like this all of a sudden when he is still in the prime of life.
Therefore, after this, as long as Zhang Shihua is at home, he is by no means a general, but a son and a husband.
Even, after Zhang Shihua took his family over, he never dealt with outside affairs at home. Because he is a modern man at heart, he does not seem to mix his current career with his family.
After all, he doesn't want to be the emperor now, let alone his beloved wife to see him call himself a concubine. Of course, Zhang Shihua doesn't know what he will become in the future, but he really hopes that he, his family and wife will always be "just if they see each other for the first time".
