Chapter 0285 - After Death
Cao Wenzhao died like this, the momentum was very great, and the few people under his command did not break through and wanted to rescue but could not do it, the encirclement was too strong, so he died. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The night is like water, the round moon exudes a soft light, like a thin veil shrouded the ground, the late autumn night, the weather is slightly cool, and tonight is even colder.
The place where he fell is called Sanyin, and Sanyin is just a small county, and the distance from Datong Town is only 100 miles, which is very short.
If nothing else, Cao Wenzhao only needs two hours to get to Datong after breaking through, and then take a bath and sleep, because Datong is really his hometown.
It's just that there was no accident, so Cao Wenzhao died......
He will never see his wife and children again......
The news was transmitted back by his subordinates, these subordinates looked excited, their tone was angry, Cao Wenzhao's body could not be found, it was taken by the militia to receive the reward, so they came back to deliver the news, maybe they didn't have the idea of sending them to death in the end, after all, everyone has a lot of concerns.
............
Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of Shanxi, died, setting off a big storm.
It's like a poison floating in the air, which spreads to all parts of the Ming Dynasty in the shortest possible time, and even... All over the Northeast.
In the eyes of everyone, what do the three words Cao Wenzhao represent? No one ever wondered, what status? Light, perhaps.
But when the news came, there was a sad atmosphere everywhere, and the palace of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be missing a piece.
Low-key, brave and loyal, this is the portrayal of Cao Wenzhao's life.
No one dares to refute it, and no one refutes it.
The news first came to the capital, after all, it was the closest, Chongzhen, who received the news, was not asleep, and was standing on official business, and then he only felt dizzy, and then his eyes were dark, and he fell down like this, which shows how much stimulation he received.
Chongzhen was very sad and sad, an hour or two ago, Chongzhen still felt in his heart that he had treated Cao Wenzhao and the others too well, and he had done too many things without punishing them, and my ancestral graves had been dug up....... It seems that we will have to find an opportunity to punish them in the future......
Then, he received the news, is this what the heavens have heard me? Thief God....!
In public and private, Chongzhen's reaction to this matter should be very intense, emotionally speaking, Chongzhen's heart is actually very fragile, the situation in the outside world is too bad, Cao Wenzhao and a few people who can help him share his worries make him feel at ease, at least Shanxi has something to find him.... Yu Gong, Daming is now in the midst of storms, already in danger, internal and external troubles, and now the most powerful person who can help him solve internal troubles is dead, so what should I do? Thief God, you're fooling me......
Cao Wenzhao is dead, who else is available, and who has the ability to take his place......
Chongzhen woke up slowly, and then his mind was full of all kinds of troubles, his eyes were still dull, and it took a long time to slowly recover a little look, his lips moved, and his voice was a little low, "Go and dive high, go and take Cao Aiqing.... I've brought all the war reports from all these years... Bring it to me and show it..."
The circles under his eyes are faintly red, "I want to write a eulogy for Cao Aiqing......"
There was remorse in his heart, and if he knew this, he would not have put him in the position of the charge, and it was not impossible to replace Chen Qiyu's position......
Speaking from the heart, if Chen Qiyu died, Chongzhen would not be so sad, after all, he had only known each other for a short time, but Cao Wenzhao could really be regarded as a comrade-in-arms.
The war reports sent to the imperial court in the local government are generally stored in a special place in the palace, in order to prevent anything from being verified in the future, but the documents dating back to three years ago, especially in the past few years, large and small states and counties have fallen more than a thousand times, and the large and small confrontations have also been fought nearly a thousand times, and it is definitely not an easy job to find out......
But in just a short time, Gao Qiqian sent a lot of paperwork, how he did it I don't know, but it did make Chongzhen feel a little relieved.
This night, the lights in Chongzhen's imperial study were on until the third watch, Chongzhen did not sleep, did not deal with official documents, just watched the battle report, recalling some things.
From Cao Wenzhao was just a small soldier, when he was in the Northeast, with three or four people of the superintendent, until now, he has made meritorious contributions, but he is proud of the spring breeze but he is gone, sad and sad, asking who in the world dares to cross the knife immediately, only I Cao Da is the chief soldier!
'Bang bang' knocked on the door, and Wang Chengen shouted softly outside the door, "Long live Lord, it's time to go to the court, or the old slave will go to the court and order to delay the court today?" ”
Chongzhen walked out without making a sound, his face was full of tiredness and seniority, Wang Chengen knew that this time was bigger for Chongzhen than any other thing, including the attack on Fengyang, in Chongzhen's hand, there was a golden paper scroll, that was the holy decree, the holy decree that had been prepared.
Above the court, there are really not a few people who received the news yesterday, and they all have more or less emotion in their hearts, and most of them are unhappy about Cao Wenzhao's death.
It's good that they are corrupt officials, but they must also have the court to give them greed, and the court is gone, so why should they go?
The militia is large, it is already obvious, let alone the danger of Jinzhou, who can not be afraid?
Chongzhen burst into tears, and after saying a lot, he began to order the handling of Cao Wenzhao's posthumous affairs, as usual, first praised it, and then rewarded it, this time the same, during this period, there was not the slightest opposition, it was really a rare harmonious court meeting, but it couldn't make Chongzhen feel a little happy.
"Cao Wenzhao and his people, Shanxi Datong, first to Liaodong, after the Jin siege of the capital when the brave killing, to recover the four cities in the Guannei, extremely brave, and then promoted to Shanxi deputy commander-in-chief, anti-thieves everywhere, the people are not happy, Cao Zongbing several times to win more with less, never defeated, anti-thieves heard their names all detoured, woohoo lament......"
"In the three years in the northwest of Wenzhao, nearly 100 anti-thief leaders were killed, and there were countless anti-thieves,...... In August of the fifth year, Wen Zhao rode thousands of horses to pursue more than 200,000 anti-thieves for 4,500 miles, and on the 15th, under the city of Shanyin, Wen Zhao bravely killed more than 1,000 enemies, but in the end, there was a huge disparity in strength, and he served the country with his body and died at the age of 44......"
"Woohoo lament, my heart is very painful, my Ming people fasted for three days to mourn for it, buried it with the gift of the national prince, crowned the prince Taibao, the family should be exempted from all taxes, give a thousand acres of good land, a thousand horses of silk, a thousand taels of silver.... In addition, his nephew Cao Bianjiao was crowned as the deputy chief soldier of Shanxi......"
The loyal ministers listened, and they could only be described as having a deep grace.
Chongzhen slammed the door, this is an indisputable fact, who doesn't know about the Manchu Dynasty? Now that Cao Wenzhao is dead, Chongzhen has issued such a holy decree and such a reward, I don't know how many people envy it, if it is like this.... Everyone is willing to die, the prince Taibao, the official is a first-class official, how difficult it is......
But think about it, no one wants to die, and occasionally they die without that treatment, they rarely listen carefully to Chongzhen's words, and the sharp voice in their ears reads the holy decree, this is the middle decree, not confirmed by the cabinet, but it is no different from the decree, Chongzhen has always been an arbitrary person.
But at this time, they listened to the eunuch reporting on the deeds of Cao Wenzhao, and they were also a little touched, and they couldn't help but sketch the image of a big man in their minds.......
............
There are many people who think like the ministers of the court, even them, not to mention those ordinary people.
The eulogy that has been artistically processed outlines Cao Wenzhao's already brilliant life even more brilliantly, such a battle-hardened general finally died on the battlefield... How embarrassing, Cao Wenzhao was not famous in front of him, and he was not as famous as Hong Chengchou, but after his death, he counted the merits, but he won everyone's respect, and let the people know that this brick in the northwest is already missing......
Hong Chengchou is very sad, Cao Wenzhao is his good partner, why is this dead, his former comrades-in-arms died so without warning, Hong Chengchou felt very uncomfortable, their status must be competitors to some extent, but they have a deep friendship, and Cao Wenzhao has always listened to him, and the relationship is even more unusual......
Zuo Liangyu is also very sad, the two of them stayed in the Liaodong Army together for so long and then came to Guannei together to become a big official, Cao Wenzhao's personality is bold and unpleasant, and the two of them feel like confidants, although Zuo Liangyu's life style has some problems......
.........
All of them, many people are nostalgic, and in the end they have to pack up their emotions, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, it is better to be careful in the future, and you can't always charge forward.
Datong, Ning Zhiyuan's expression also carried a trace of sadness and emotion.
He knew what happened on the day Cao Wenzhao died, to be precise, he knew that Cao Wenzhao was fighting in Shanyin, but he didn't know that Cao Wenzhao died on that day.
He and Cao Wenzhao have only met once or twice, and they only spoke a few words, but for this rough general, he admired him very much, and in the end, he committed suicide when he was about to die of exhaustion, which deserves everyone's admiration, if every general in the Ming Dynasty can be like this, the soldiers must also be like this, then what are the Houjin Mongols!
Ning Zhiyuan found out that someone was fighting that day and didn't get involved, because there was not much need, but if he knew that Cao Wenzhao would die, how could he help him, he was much stronger than Hong Chengchou Zuo Liangyu and his party, and his heart was much stronger.
There are also happy things, Ning Daguan captured all the families of those assassins in Houjin in Liaodong, the process was unexpectedly simple, he thought it was very easy, but it turned out to be easier than he imagined.
The population of the three northeastern provinces is millions, of which millions of Han people, and the Houjin people plus mixed-race children are only five or six hundred thousand, but in this case, the difference in the number of people controlled by the Houjin in the northeast is ten times incredible, these Houjin people treat the Han people as slaves to call, and form the Han Eight Banners to enslave the Han people, but no one resists, which is really ridiculous.
Those family members are still humane, they are not enslaved, but they are also ignored, and no one knows about their disappearance.
Then he started to kill, Ning Zhiyuan stood on the school ground, where he had already killed many people, and their status was more special than the other.
From military officers to civil servants, to landlords and wealthy businessmen, and now there are spies and traitors.
Most of the assassins' families are some sturdy village aunts and old women, but they are older or younger, and they are all middle-of-the-road, and even a little ugly, which is also natural, these people who are not expensive at the moment, with such a woman is still high.
One by one, the assassins were lifted up like dead fish, and then they were instantly refreshed, their eyes looked at the dozens of people in front of them who were obviously frightened as if they were bloodshot, and their chapped lips trembled, "Dog officer, dog officer who has lost his conscience..."
The voice is weak, but it makes people feel the resentment in it.
"Humph!" Ning Zhiyuan sneered, "You are ordinary people, and the official will redress your grievances and overturn the case for you, and ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, but you will be treated at a loss!" ”
"You are harming the unborn children of the official, and you dare to speak out."
"Your Excellency... Adult, let them go, the villain will be a cow and a horse for the adult in the next life.... It's all human life...."
"The official's child is not human life!" Ning Zhiyuan roared, looking extremely excited, "She died before she was born, you brutes!" ”
The Assassins trembled weakly, saying something in their mouths, but it didn't matter.
"Today, this official will let you know what it means to live as ...... death," Ning Zhiyuan lowered his tone and said quietly, "Imagine what it feels like for your wife and parents to be chopped up with a knife in front of you, you know, no, you don't have to think about it, you can see it soon." ”
... A burst of shouting is really unbearable, Ning Zhiyuan has a cold face, his face is pale, and there is only one thought in his heart, if someone offends me, this lord will punish you nine clans...
"No... Don't..."A heart-rending voice roared, and then begged again, "Adults spare their lives, adults spare them..."
.........
No one answered, only with a cry can the people around him be afraid, the school field was bloody, Ning Zhiyuan sneered and was a little unbearable, looking at the bloody air, he faintly saw his unborn daughter smiling at him, and his heart hardened again.
He is Ning Zhiyuan, Chongzhen has been in the second year until now, and no one dares to bully him without paying the price, let alone these small people.
The scene was extremely bloody, the screams were extremely miserable, the scolding was extremely vicious, and the onlookers ...... Heart palpitations.
They were wronged by Lord Ning, and Lord Ning was upset, but looking at the situation in front of them at this time, they inevitably felt a wave of sympathy for these assassins, miserable, really miserable!
What could be more painful than this? His family members died tragically in front of him one by one......
This Lord Ning ......
I really can't mess with it.
Although they didn't have this idea in the first place, they were vigilant in their hearts at this time... (To be continued.) )
