The old gentleman was not in good health, and he was carried away by this former student for a long time, and he was already out of breath. After a moment, he couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Stop, stop." ”

The man named Liu Ming put Mr. Guan down and gave a long sigh: "Student Liu Ming, I've seen Mr. Guan." I heard that Mr. has been captured by Jiannu, but I don't want to be able to see you in the capital today, I am very happy. But I don't know where my wife and my wife are now? ”

As soon as he heard Liu Ming mention his relatives, two tears appeared in Mr. Guan's eyes: "Your master and wife, she ...... She has died at the hands of the Tartars, and as for my son and daughter, they have been captured by Jiannu. To this day, no one knows whether they are dead or alive, and where they are in Liaodong. ”

Seeing that the teacher was sad like this, Liu Ming was also miserable in his heart, and he was silent for a long time before asking: "What are the plans of Mr. in the future, ready to just talk in the teahouse for the rest of his life and do the work of a waiter?" ”

"What else, look at my face, like a ghost, go somewhere else, is anyone willing to ask for it?" Mr. Guan laughed sadly: "Since my home was destroyed in the war, I have the right to think that I am already a living dead, and every day is a day. ”

"Teacher." Looking at Mr. Guan's terrible face, Liu Ming also had tears in his eyes. Indeed, this face is so terrifying that even if Mr. is rich and rich, I am afraid that no one will want him. Not to mention, Mr.'s knowledge is also ordinary, otherwise, if he is ready to take the imperial examination for a lifetime, he is just an ordinary talent.

And himself, isn't it a day at a time, how can he help him?

He silently took out a silver ingot from his bosom, stuffed it into Mr. Guan's hand, sighed, and was about to say goodbye and leave

。

Mr. Guan didn't shirk, took the money, and suddenly asked: "Liu Ming, I remember that your family background is not bad, why are you a soldier now?" ”

As soon as he heard Mr. ask about this, Liu Ming's face turned red. Good iron does not hit nails, and good men do not serve as soldiers. The military household of the Ming Dynasty had a humble status, but he was a good son of a good family but went to be a soldier, which was indeed a bit embarrassing for people to see.

"Sir, didn't my family suffer from the military disaster, and life was difficult, so I wanted to go to Zhending Mansion and Taiwan Yamen to seek refuge with a relative, and I wanted to find an errand. (Marshmallow provides Txt free download) but didn't want to, on the way I met the Ningxiang Army of the Bohai Institute and was arrested. Today, I finally got a chance, but I escaped from the barracks and prepared to go home. I was very thirsty just now, so I went into the teahouse to drink saliva. I happened to meet Mr., and Mr.'s face became like this, and it took the student half a day to recognize you. ”

"No matter what the student says, he has read the book of the sage for a few days, and he has become a lowly soldier, which disappoints the gentleman, ashamed, ashamed!"

In fact, Liu Ming lied to him, went to Zhending Mansion to seek refuge with relatives, and was arrested by the Ningxiang Army. In fact, after Jiannu retired from the army the year before last, he has been fighting in the capital. Just a month ago, I met a fellow villager in the city, and now he is working as a bookkeeper under General Wang Yuncheng of the Sichuan Army of the Tianxiong Army, and invited him to go over to eat together.

He also said that the officers of the Tianxiong Army are all from the Beizhili clan, and they are all related to each other, and they are acquaintances everywhere, and after they go, they also have a care.

Liu Mingzheng was very poor, and when he heard that he was going to copy and write for others, the salary was not low, so he was immediately willing.

But as soon as he entered the barracks, he didn't know why, but Wang Yuncheng took a fancy to him, and he sent him to the Ningxiang Army to do fine work. said that he was asked to widen his eyes and take a closer look at how the Ningxiang Army was trained and why the troops were so capable of fighting. After seeing it, he went back to tell him, so that the Sichuan army could learn from the gourd painting

。

was sent to do detailed work, Liu Ming was naturally unwilling to be the boss. But General Wang has an order, but he is not good at not carrying it out.

I thought that there was no difference between the Naning Township Army and the Tianxiong Army, being a soldier and eating food, eating food and being a soldier, anyway, it was just a mess. After staying there for a while, make some fuss about some information, and then go back to tell Wang Yuncheng that this task is not too simple.

After going to the Ningxiang Army, the people in the army were extremely happy when they heard that he was literate, and they immediately joined the front-line combat units.

What happened next was a nightmare for Liu Ming, and the training of the Ningxiang Army was too hard. As soon as I opened my eyes every day, I began to walk in the right steps, practice formation, and run in the field with more than 20 pounds of packages on my back, until I was so tired that I felt like I had fallen apart, and I couldn't go to bed until it was dark.

The most terrifying thing is that there are too many rules in the Ningxiang Army. There are rules for walking, for eating, for sleeping, and even for how to fold and where to put your laundry. Whenever the slightest mistake goes wrong, what awaits you is the torture of the military judge.

After only staying there for ten days, Liu Ming couldn't stand it anymore and became a deserter directly: It's so terrible, if you stay any longer, you will be killed, and you won't serve the marquis.

"What is there to be ashamed of." Suddenly, Mr. Guan snorted: "It's useless to be a scholar, even if you are familiar with the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", what if you encounter the big knife of the golden slave, you will not be a slave of others." In my opinion, a tooth for a tooth and blood for a robber should be dealt with...... By the way, is the Bohai Ningxiang Army you are talking about, is it the Ningxiang Army of Sun Yuan and Sun Taichu? ”

Liu Ming was stunned: "Mr. also knows General Sun Taichu?" ”

"Nonsense, how can you not know." Mr. Guan suddenly looked in reverence: "I heard that the last time Jiannu entered the Kou, the imperial army was afraid of the Jin people, and for two months, they didn't let go of an arrow, and let the enemy burn and kill in our Gyeonggi Province." Only the Ningxiang Army fought a fierce battle with the enemy in Jingnan and beheaded more than 300 ranks. ”

"It's a pity that there was a traitor in the court, and the eunuch was jealous and hated Sun Taichu, tarnished his merits, and framed Zhongliang. Gao Qiqian is such a traitor, he should be killed, he should be killed! With that, Mr. Kwan slapped the bolted horse post on the side of the road hard.

Liu Ming: "Everyone in Beijing knows about this?" ”

Mr. Guan: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, can a thief still want to cover the sky with one hand and hide the eyes of people in the world?" ”

Speaking of this, his face was ugly, and he scolded: "Liu Ming, I heard you just now go to the Ningxiang Army to serve the country, rather than being a centurion, and being a scholar, the teacher is very pleased."

。 But you don't want to, but you became a deserter, a bastard thing, don't you feel ashamed? ”

Liu Ming didn't expect Mr. Guan to reprimand himself like this, and anger surged in his heart. But after all, he was his own teacher, but it was inconvenient to reply, so he only lowered his head.

Mr. Guan continued to scold: "Be a deserter, be a deserter...... Liu Ming, what do you think you are, you don't even have a fame, and you really think that you are a seed of study, and you have tarnished your reputation by becoming a soldier? If one day, the Jiannu Tartars enter the capital, and the country is ruined, even if you read more books, what is the use? After all, it is a repetition of Jingkang's old things. If I were you, I wouldn't be this deserter...... I can see that the army here is all waste snacks. Which army can resist the construction of serf, only the Ningxiang army. If I were you, I would be a soldier of the Ningxiang Army, kill Jiannu with Sun Taichu, and pull down when I die...... My homeland is destroyed, what is the point of my life...... I'm going to kill the Tartars, I'm going to save my children back......"

At this point, he began to cry again. didn't find out that Liu Ming didn't know when he was gone.

In the distance, Liu Ming spat fiercely at the corner of the street: "Bastard, what the are you, you really regard yourself as my mentor." If you want to be a soldier, why don't you become a soldier. Grandpa is used to being comfortable, how can he be a big soldier. Not to mention the Ningxiang Army, the Tianxiong Army Lao Tzu is not going either. ”

……

Mr. Guan cried for a long time, only to find out that Liu Ming had left.

I was about to go back to the teahouse to make a mess of misfortune, when suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves ahead.

A cavalryman dressed in the uniform of the border army shouted loudly: "Eight hundred miles of urgency, eight hundred miles of urgency, the 100,000 army of Jiannu has entered the Kou, and has broken through the wall of Ziling and Qingshan Pass!" ”

"What!" Almost all the pedestrians on the street shouted at the same time, and their faces were filled with fear.

The wall is located in the Great Wall Pass 80 miles east of Miyun, and the Qingshan Pass is located in Funingwei near Shanhaiguan.

In the past, Liaodong Jiannu had entered the army three times, and the scale of the war was larger and larger each time. The Ming Dynasty has been beaten a lot, and the people of the capital already have basic military and geographical knowledge.

Funing Wei is the military town of the Guanning Army, and the east is the Shanhaiguan where heavy troops are hoarded. This time, Jiannu actually broke through the pass from Qingshan Pass, and it was obvious that the Guanning army had suffered an unprecedented defeat under the hands of others

。 Moreover, the enemy was not afraid that the Ming Dynasty army would dare to move south from here, and it was obvious that the troops dispatched were unusually strong. The number of 100,000 that Kuaima said just now should not be a lie.

As for the fall of Qiangziling, the problem is even more serious.

This place is condescending, and once captured by enemy troops, the south will be a flat river. The Qing soldiers sent to the city of Beijing at night.

The first two Qing soldiers went south, and the people saw the ghost appearance of the imperial army, and they were completely disappointed with the nine-sided border army. This time the Qing army went south for the fourth time, and the Ming Dynasty was bound to be another defeat in disgrace.

Over the years, Gyeonggi has been severely plagued by Jiannu. Outside Beijing, there are uninhabited villages and wastelands. Many people have fled to the city to make a living, and in recent years, the population of Beijing has skyrocketed because of the continuous acceptance of displaced people.

The people in the city who did not have a few relatives outside the city heard that the Jiannu army had entered the city again, and everyone's faces changed greatly. Many people have already begun to hire cars and horses, preparing to go out of the city as soon as possible to notify relatives to take refuge in the city.

The streets were filled with chaotic crowds, and the sound of shop doors was heard everywhere.

The entire capital fell into disorderly chaos.

"The Great Wall was broken by Jiannu again...... Mr. Guan stood on the street dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he smile desolately: "What do I say, am I dead to this Ming Dynasty...... Son, my child, will you be escorted into Beijing by the Jin people this time...... Yes, yes...... The Jiannu people are thin, and every time they enter the prison, they will requisition a large number of slaves as auxiliaries and people...... This is what I saw the last time I was held hostage by Jiannu......"

That's right, this storyteller is the one who was squeezed off the cliff by Kong Zhao and others last time.

Murmuring this, his eyes lit up.

Immediately stretched out his hand to stop a carriage, and handed over the ingot of silver that Liu Ming gave him just now: "The handlebar, the handlebar, drive and run." ”

The ingot of silver weighed about two taels, enough for three or four months' expenses of ordinary people, and the coachman's eyes lit up: "Old man, you are going there, say okay, I won't go to a place that is too far away." Otherwise, as soon as Jiannu arrives, martial law will be imposed in the capital, and I will not be locked up outside the city and wait for death? ”

"Not far, not far, Bohai Institute, it's only two hundred miles, three or four days back and forth."
