Chapter 67 The Children of the Poor Are in Charge of the House at an Early Age
After 17 March, Japan and Russia reached a stalemate in Mukden, and the two sides were no longer capable of launching a large-scale battle, so they could only confront each other in the areas of Mukden and Fushun.
During this period, He Tianci swept Jiang Xianzhen, Jiang Xiantai, Fan Si, and Fan Wu of the "Five Outposts" of red snail clams in the Jinxi area, and exterminated bandits such as Dahaihezi, Xiaohaihezi, Gao Sheng, Jin Sheng, and toothpick head melon seeds. At this time, He Tianci had a reputation far and wide, and basically pacified these small bandits in western Liaoning.
In He Tianci's heart, he estimated that he was about to be promoted again, but at this time, news came that General Shengjing Zengqi Ding Wei would be dismissed, and the post of General Fengtian would be temporarily replaced by Yin Tingjie of Fengtian Mansion.
He Tianci's hope was suddenly shattered, and these days this bandit is in vain.
At this time, both Japan and Russia had fallen into a situation where there were no troops available, but with the efforts of Hanada Nakanosuke and Aoki Nobumi Daisa, the two big bandit troops like Feng Delin and Du Lisan began to come in handy again, launching attacks on the exhausted Russian army, not in love with war, running every time they hit a few times, constantly harassing the Russian army and destroying the Russian army's transportation and supply lines.
At this time, Brigadier General Madrid Daoff's task was busy, because the only local force available to the Russian army in the Kwantung region was He Tianci's troops, and during this time, Brigadier General Madrid Daoff gave He Tianci an appointment to exterminate bandits like Feng Delin, Du Lisan, and Tian Yiben, but He Tianci has indeed been avoiding these big bandits, but basically wiped out the small bandits in western Liaoning. The only Tian Yiben was sent to the door by himself, otherwise He Tianci might not have taken the initiative to attack.
The Russian Far East Command was also very angry at these so-called "East Asian rebels", and Brigadier General Madriddorf hurriedly informed He Tianci to go to the Liaoyang area to assist the Russian army in exterminating these "East Asian rebels" led by the Japanese army.
After He Tianci received the order, he went directly to Liaoyang from Jinxi, because after all, the Russian army's first sum was so big, and he didn't follow Feng Delin and Du Lisan desperately, but just assisted the Russian army in suppressing bandits.
Jiangjiatun Fumin Hall (now Gangtun Town, Lianshan District, Huludao, Liaoning), on the noisy market. A boy about seven or eight years old, kneeling in the crowd, wearing a tattered cotton jacket, and a middle-aged man in ragged clothes lying beside him, saw the child kneeling in the middle of the crowd, shouting in his still very immature voice: "Uncle, aunt, please, just hide my father, Xiao Er is kowtowing to you here, Xiao Er will make cattle and horses for you." As he spoke, he kowtowed vigorously.
It just so happened that He Tianci's troops happened to pass through this place, and He Tianci saw that the market in front of him was so lively, so he rode over on a tall horse.
He Tianci passed by here with a lot of money, and the crowd retreated, and the little boy saw that the person who came was a soldier riding a tall horse and wearing an official uniform, so he concluded that this person was a big official at the time. So he hurriedly ran over, knelt in front of He Tianci, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said: "This adult, please save my father, Xiao Er will make you a cow and a horse." ”
He Tianci looked this child up and down, a seven or eight-year-old child is so sensible, it is really a poor man's child who has long been in charge. I took a closer look at the little boy, although he was dressed a little shabby, but a pair of crystal clear big eyes were shining, especially the eyeballs full of tears were swirling, shining inside, revealing a trace of maturity that did not match his age, He Tianci didn't feel like this child.
Then while dismounting and picking up the little boy, he instructed the stupid roe deer beside him: "Little Sa, take some silver taels to buy a good coffin, and bury this child with his father, it's also pitiful." ”
As soon as the little boy heard that He Tianci was going to bury his father, he immediately knelt on the ground again, knocked his head three times in a row, and said loudly to He Tianci: "Thank you, my lord, from now on, Xiao Er's life is an adult's, and Xiao Er must be a cow and a horse for adults." ”
He Tianci hurriedly pulled up the child, only to see that the child had blood marks on it, so he hurriedly bandaged the child and chatted with the mature little boy.
It turned out that the little boy's surname was He, and there was no cultural person in the family, he was the second in line, and he was always called He Xiaoer in the family. This He Xiaoer, born in childbirth, his mother died in childbirth, and his father depended on each other, and he recently fled to Jiangjiatun Fumin Hall, and the family was originally from Kuanbang in Suizhong County.
As soon as He Tianci heard about this Kuanbang, his surname was He, because He Tianci knew that his family had only left Suizhong Kuanbang in his grandfather's generation, so he asked curiously: "Uncle's family is also Kuanbang, where is your family in Kuanbang?" ”
As soon as the three words "Dalitun" came out, He Tianci couldn't help but be shocked, because his grandfather said that Dalitun is an old He family, a big family, so to say that this child is still an ancestor with himself.
He Tianci's heart suddenly blossomed, so how to say that according to the generation, the little boy in front of him is still his grandfather, no, this can't be called that, he can only call himself uncle, anyway, he has changed a lot when he came to this world, according to time, he married a woman who is more than 100 years older than himself, Zhang Suya, this has spanned the century, I am afraid that he should be able to apply for the Guinness World Record for the largest age difference between husband and wife.
Forget it, it's messy!
After thinking about this, He Tianci took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and then said kindly: "Xiao Er, my uncle's family is the old He family who was vigorously moving out in the early years, we are a family, you will call me uncle in the future, your father has died, and you have no other relatives, so follow your uncle." ”
This He Xiaoer is sensible, and when he saw that He Tianci wanted to take him in, he used his immature and soft voice to say cordially: "Then thank you, uncle." ”
He Tianci thought for a while, this child can't always be called Xiao Er, he has to have his own name, this Xiao Er, his parents died at a young age, and he will inevitably go to the battlefield with his uncle in the future, so he will be called He Wenwu.
Then he said softly to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, uncle said your big name, and you will be called He Wenwu in the future, Uncle hopes that Xiao Er can be both civil and military when he grows up, and be a big hero, what do you think?" ”
After hearing this, He Xiaoer nodded and said with a smile: "I have a name, He Wenwu, this name is so good, I am He Wenwu." ”
It was only at this time that He Tianci saw the innocence of a child in this child, and his special "little nephew" had experienced enough, and behind the special customs were more tragic experiences.
Maybe this is the way it is, and in this environment, we may all be more mature than our children in the 21st century!
