Chapter 58: The Dust of History (Part II)
"Then my lord, aren't you and General Wu, aren't you brothers-in-law?!" Deputy Governor Tang Tao didn't notice the regret in Han Jianhong's eyes at all, and leaned back suddenly, screaming in surprise.
"How is it a brother-in-law, it's Uncle Lang!" The secretary Qin might as well correct it loudly immediately, "The commander of Wu Du is the uncle of our family, the uncle's uncle. Hehe, although it turned a corner, but, but after all, he is also an uncle! ”
"The brother-in-law who is turning the corner, of course, is also the uncle!" The other military officials echoed one after another. looked at his boss Han Jianhong's gaze, which was more and more different from before.
In the past six months, Wu Liangmou has been in Jingxiang for most of the past six months, and with three brigades of soldiers, he has defeated the 100,000 troops of Mengyuan and retreated. Its prestige and deeds have long been spread along the north and south banks with the river breeze. And this time, General Manager Zhu led the army to the expedition, and Liu Ziyun, Wang Kerou and other generals were not used, but he alone transferred this person back from Jingxiang and took half of the army soldiers and horses to sit in the center, which also fully illustrated the weight of this person in General Manager Zhu's heart. It is foreseeable that in the near future, Wu Liangmou's position will inevitably rise sharply. And Han Jianhong, as his closest relative and friend, has made real contributions, and his position must be further improved.
Thinking of this, the subordinates looked at Han Lao Liu's gaze even more eagerly. The words that came out of his mouth became more and more respectful. And Han Lao Liu's mind was already flying out of the military department, fluttering and not knowing where he was flying.
"The adults really had a vision at that time, and they actually gave up such a big family business. Without hesitation, he followed behind the head of our family! I don't know who it is, whispering in my ear.
"Giving up the family for the country, the ancients called giving up the family for the country, isn't that the case?"
"If you don't become an adult, you're an adult!" Several other colleagues looked at Han Jianhong with envy while laughing at each other. "Lao Lu, if you are replaced, I'm afraid you don't have the guts. Even if your family forces you with a knife, you may be dead and shrink back! ”
"But wasn't it, I was at that time, I didn't even dare to kill the chickens at that time, let alone mention, hey"
"Sensei said that at that time, it was when the adults first arrived in Yangzhou, and they were recruiting talents. I hesitated for a while before I dared to apply! ”
"If you don't say that you are a cowardly person, if it is ten days and half a month in the morning, maybe"
"Don't talk nonsense. In the morning, this position should also belong to Lord Han. He relied on real swords and guns to make a name for himself, unlike us, all by pen. ”
The voice in his ears was extremely chaotic, but Han Jianhong faintly heard his father's explanation the night before he left home, "Little Sixth Son, don't blame your grandfather for being ruthless." Since ancient times, everyone has been like this. The world is going to be chaotic, our Han family has to find a few more ways to live! ”
Since ancient times, everyone has been like this! The specific ancient to the ancient, Han Jianhong is not clear! But he clearly remembered that in the Three Kingdoms era, all parties in Wei, Shu and Wu had a courtier surnamed Zhuge who was not small.
This is the survival wisdom inherited by the ancestors, and all slightly older families are basically deep in this way. So whenever troubled times come, the young children in the family become betting chips. If it is possible, or the judgment is not accurate for a while, between different anti-thieves, they have to bet separately, rather than less.
For the children who are used as bargaining chips, if they are bet on the side that loses the bet, their personal end will inevitably be very tragic. And for the whole family, no matter which party succeeds in the end, the whole family can follow suit. Even if the tide cannot rise, it can at least ensure stability and continue to reproduce and inherit.
Han Laoliu, Han Laosan, Han 17, Han 19 and others were a pair of chips sent by Han Jiazhuang. The qualifications of several people are not very good, and in the eyes of the grandfather, who is the patriarch, they are not very well received. So even if they die in an unknown gutter, I'm afraid that in addition to their parents, few people in the entire Zhuangzi will feel distressed.
Not only the Han family, but also the Sun family, the Li family, the Li family, the Xu family, and other Zhuangzi's gambling books are also similar. At the beginning, I was afraid that I had the mentality of playing three poles first with dates or not.
Who let Chief Zhu only have a thousand and ten brothers under his command at that time, although the combat effectiveness is really terrifying, and he has just defeated the Asu army, which is three times his size, head-on. But compared with Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Bu Wangsan, and Monk Peng, these big forces are obviously not enough. Only Wujiazhuang and Liujiazhuang are exceptions, and these two families are the absolute leaders of their respective families, Wu Liangmou and Liu Kui. Therefore, these two have now won the most, one is the trusted commander of Zhengdu, and the other is the deputy commander of the capital who can make Manager Zhu feel at ease to arrange for him to be in charge. The two brothers help each other, and Xuanhe is on the one side.
People in the world always like to show off their original cleverness after the event! Now that those owners and village owners on the shore of Shanyang Lake mention it, who doesn't boast of their long-term vision back then? As for the teenagers who have experienced the baptism of war and are still alive until now, whether they are out or out, and what their specific status was in their respective families at the beginning, of course, they have decisively become the first artemisia in the clan, and they have been focused on cultivating since they were children.
Anyway, the patriarchs are always wise, and their wisdom is absolutely proportional to their age and the thickness of their faces. They are now working hard to carry forward their wisdom, and stuff the real artemisia and talents of their respective families into the yamen at all levels of the Grand Governor's Mansion and the Huai'an Army, in order to expect to gain more in the near future.
But Han Jianhong knew that the patriarchs would be disappointed in the end. Because teenagers will soon have their own dreams, which are completely different from the dreams of dying old people.
They will soon discover that they did not join the Huai'an Army simply to gain personal fame. On their shoulders, they also bear the same future as themselves, all the children of the Han family. Since the day they joined the Huai'an Army, they have not only fought for one family and one surname, but what they are about to defend and reshape is the entire Chinese nation.
Han Jianhong didn't understand these truths at first, but now, he understands them more and more clearly. As for who and when these truths were engraved in the depths of his heart, he couldn't tell.
Maybe it's subtle! Han Jianhong vaguely remembered that not long after he was ordered to join the army, on the training ground, an instructor personally told him that people are equal. No one is born a slave, and no one is born to be enslaved by others.
Han Jianhong vaguely remembered what he said when Chief Manager Zhu ordered the captured Mengyuan soldiers to be sold at a discount, "They treat us as donkeys, so we will come and not be rude!" If one day they treat us as human beings, we will naturally treat them as human beings. There is no such thing as forgiveness or forgiveness, only equality! ”
Han Jianhong vaguely remembers that one night, the teenagers sat by the fire and boasted about their ancestors. Suddenly, I was surprised to find that their respective ancestors had fought for the Great Song Dynasty under Li Tingzhi's account. And after the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty led the Manchu Dynasty to surrender, the hardships and humiliations endured by the ancestors immediately surged into everyone's hearts.
"Prime Minister Boyan set up a tent on the riverside, and Wu Jian, the left prime minister, led the generals to enter with the grass, and bowed down by roll call" The record of this history in the family tree is very vague, but when this text is retold by the fire, the trembling that brought to Han Jianhong's soul is extremely clear. (Note 2) Donkeys, it turns out that in their eyes, our ancestors are a herd of donkeys! That's right, a herd of donkeys. In the eyes of the Mongolian court, all Han people are donkeys, even if they climb to high positions like Zhang Song and Lu Luzeng, it is the same! It's just that it has become a big donkey that can push and pull a cart, and it is no different from other donkeys.
Then, the teenagers clearly discovered that the so-called destiny and the so-called reincarnation of the five virtues are just a rotten fig leaf. At the moment when Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with Emperor Song Shaodi on his back, Huaxia was already dead. The current imperial court is nothing more than the court of a group of foreign conquerors, who took advantage of the weakness of China to conquer civilization with barbarism.
Then the boys stood up soberly and vowed never to bow down to savage again.
They should have stood up a long time ago, expelled the Tartars, and restored China. They may fail, but they will die as individuals, not as donkeys, at the mercy of the conquerors.
Most of the teenagers who swore by the fire at that time had already died in battle.
Han Jianhong remembered the names of each of them, but he couldn't remember the faces of most of them.
There was a time when the dreams in his heart were as blurred as the faces of the departed. However, after being ousted from the position of ambassador of the salt administration, he slowly remembered the dreams and vows of his youth.
Live like a man, die like a man. Even if there is no place to die!
This dream and oath do not belong to the old people in the clan, but to every one of them who grew up in the army. They should not forget, and they will never dare to forget.
"My lord, my lord, I heard that you climbed into Huai'an City from the gutter with General Wu Liangmou?" While I was immersed in the memories of the past, I suddenly heard the voices of my colleagues full of anticipation.
"Huh? You said Wu Liangmou, that guy has not been doing his job since he was a child, and he drills gutters all day long except climbing the wall. Therefore, under Huai'an City, his skills just came in handy! Han Lao Liu's memory was instantly pulled to the most glorious moment in his life, and he responded loudly with a bit of pride.
Note 1: In the dust of history (above), a note is missing. The son committed a heinous crime and his father was not implicated in the slightest, only Yang Guang was so lenient in history. When he was trapped in Yanmen Pass, Yu Wenhua and his brothers stole and sold military food to the Turks, but after being discovered, he couldn't bear to let his favorite minister Yu Wenshu lose his son, so he only gave Yu Wenhua and his brothers a very light punishment. Yu Wenshu was not implicated in any way.
Note 2: Wu Jian, the prime minister of the left, is known for his timidity. once wrote a poem, "It is better to build a house on the clouds, and don't close who is right or wrong outside the door". In 1275, the Yuan army was in the Song capital Lin'an, and Wu Jian sent an envoy to the Yuan military camp to sue for peace. In the first month of the second year, he was promoted to the position of Zuo Prime Minister and Privy Envoy, and once again went to Yuanying to discuss surrender, and then went to Yuan Dadu (now Beijing) to submit a surrender table to Song Xi. After the death of Song, Wu Jian died quietly in Dadu.
