Deng Fuhe turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that his daughter-in-law Lin Guiyun actually appeared behind him, looking at him fixedly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Come, Gui Yun! This is Tianbao, your ......" Deng Fuhe didn't finish speaking, but he saw Lin Guiyun hiding his face and crying.

Deng Fuhe let his daughter-in-law cry all of a sudden, he looked at everyone a little blankly, but found that everyone's eyes were all weird, looking behind Deng Tianbao.

Deng Fu and Huo Di turned around, and then they saw that behind their son, there was a quiet and delicate young woman.

The woman noticed Deng Fuhe's gaze, bowed her head silently, and bowed slightly to Deng Fuhe.

Deng Fuhe stared at her in amazement, she still lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, and at this time, beside her, a small round face leaned out, looking at herself curiously.

And seeing the boy behind the woman, Lin Guiyun cried even more.

Deng Fuhe suddenly understood, and his old face turned the color of pig liver in an instant.

"You! …… You bastard! Deng Fuhe flew up violently and kicked Deng Tianbao to the ground.

It is said that Daddy Deng is very old, although he is in good health, but his strength is not very great, this kick can't kick Deng Tianbao at all, but Deng Tianbao is afraid that he will be angry with his father, so with the power of this kick, he took advantage of the situation "ouch" and fell to the ground.

At this time, Deng Tianbao, the moment he saw Lin Guiyun crying, he already understood that today's trouble was big.

He never dreamed that his father didn't even say a word to him, so he told himself that he had a daughter-in-law, and brought her to Shuri.

And today is the day when the Ryukyu women come to the camp to help, and it is on this day that they led Lin Shiying's mother and son into the barracks.

Although Lin Shiying didn't say anything, her appearance itself is already very revealing.

"You...... How dare you...... You...... You see I won't kill you! Deng Fuhe looked at the "grandson" who looked and looked like his son (in fact, it was not very similar, the old man was dizzy and preconceived), and heard his daughter-in-law crying to death, and he was so angry that he trembled for a while.

He never expected that he brought his daughter-in-law to marry his son, but he saw that his son not only asked a local woman to be his daughter-in-law, but also gave birth to all the children.

Deng Fuhe raised his hand and wanted to hit his son again, but although the kick just now knocked down his son, it also made his foot hurt faintly, he looked around, and suddenly saw a row of sticks on the shelf not far away, so he strode over and pulled out one suddenly, intending to use it to teach his son a hard lesson.

Deng Tianbao saw that the old father was going to beat him with the stick used to practice assassination in the team, and he was shocked for a while, and he couldn't pretend to be kicked down anymore and couldn't get up, but jumped up as soon as he was tall, pulled his legs and ran.

Sage Yun: "The small air stays, and the big staff escapes." "If you don't run away now, when will you stay?

Seeing that his son dared to run, Deng Fuhe was even more annoyed, and chased after him with a stick, and the father and son started the race one after the other.

Because Deng Tianbao was born as a hunter and had quick legs and feet, Deng Fuhe was also a hunter before practicing medicine, and now although he is old, his legs and feet are still dexterous, not inferior to young people. This unique chase race, which began with a father and son around the playground, immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even the families of other soldiers put down their work and watched.

The scene of "not knowing the truth and watching strongly", if there is a clear rumor official present, it will definitely be like a treasure, and he will ruthlessly give Lin Yizhe, the supreme commander of this army, a copy.

Since the two Opium Wars and the Suppression and Twisting War, in the eyes of domestic public opinion at that time, the reputation of the Qing army has fallen to the bottom, especially the Qing army officers and soldiers do not want to forge ahead, but want to please their wives, resulting in "more women than brave men" in the army, thinking that this is the root cause of the Qing army's vulnerability, corruption, and difficulty in supporting both internal and external.

And this view has also been passed down to later generations and has endured.

But it is really unfair to say this, in fact, it is very common for the Qing generation to have family members with the army.

The Deng father and son ran around the playground three times in a row, showing extremely strong running skills, which surprised all the shipmasters and sailors present.

Of course, they have all seen Deng Tianbao's foot strength, but it is really rare for the old man to be able to run to this point.

Deng Tianbao was in a panic, but he heard a loud shout not far away: "Who is making noise here?!" ”

When Deng Tianbao heard this familiar voice, he knew that it was the commander Zhou Ruitai who had arrived, so he immediately stopped and fell to his knees.

Deng Tianbao knelt down suddenly, the old father who was chasing him couldn't retract his momentum, and suddenly hit him, and fell down on his back, Deng Tianbao was about to reach out to help him, but it was too late, and at this moment, a figure rushed over, and helped the old man, not letting the old man fall.

Deng Tianbao saw that it was his friend Li Tiezhu who was holding his father, and threw a grateful glance at him, while Li Tiezhu quickly pouted to Zhou Ruitai, who was walking this way, and glanced at Deng Tianbao.

Deng Tianbao immediately understood, and hurriedly bowed to Zhou Ruitai.

"You brute!" At this time, Deng Fuhe didn't notice Zhou Ruitai's arrival, and after standing firm, he suddenly raised the stick and hit Deng Tianbao fiercely, at this time, seeing Deng Tianbao kneeling there and unable to dodge, Li Tiezhu deliberately hit Deng Dad's arm, so that the sturdy stick deflected from Deng Tianbao's shoulder and did not hit.

Deng Fuhe raised his stick and wanted to fight again, but Zhou Ruitai shouted, "Stop!" I drank it, so I could only put down the stick stupidly.

"Dare to ask who this old man is? How did my soldiers offend my father-in-law, and yet I should punish him like this? Zhou Ruitai came to everyone, he saw Father Deng and Deng Tianbao kneeling on the ground with cool faces, and the two women who were looking frightened and uneasy in the distance, he already understood five or six points in his heart, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a full official stand, and asked loudly.

After listening to Zhou Ruitai's question, Deng Fuhe didn't know how to answer for a while, but he just threw his stick and sighed heavily.

Li Tiezhu hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "If you go back to your lordship, this is not ...... Uncle Deng told Tianbao about a family affair, and specially brought his daughter-in-law to the camp to complete his marriage, but Tianbao didn't know it before, and he had already asked for a daughter-in-law......"

Zhou Ruitai understood, and he was amused, but there was no expression on his face.

As for Deng Tianbao marrying Lin Shiying, who already has a child, he already knew about it and approved it, but he didn't know that Deng Tianbao hadn't had time to tell the family, but the family found him another daughter-in-law, which caused this "crash" accident.

"My lord! I have no way to teach my son, so I will be ashamed of the army, and I will ask the adults to punish him! Deng Fuhe glanced at his daughter-in-law Lin Guiyun, saw that she was still crying there, felt ashamed in his heart, knelt down and said to Zhou Ruitai.

"Uncle, please." Zhou Ruitai hurriedly helped Deng Fuhe up, and his mind was spinning quickly, thinking about how this matter would end.

Deng Tianbao married a local woman, in fact, he did not violate military discipline, and there is no basis to punish him.

The military service system of the Qing Dynasty was a disguised conscription system. Like the early Eight Banners system is a system of "integration of soldiers and people", after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the number of people multiplied, the number of soldiers was fixed, and gradually evolved into a fixed number of men selected from each flag leader to serve as soldiers. The green battalion soldiers are recruited from fixed military households, and compared with civilian households, military households can be exempted from money and food taxes. In practice, especially in wartime, the soldiers of the Green Battalion were recruited from other members of the society, including those from outside the army.

Once a soldier of the Qing army was recruited, it became a lifelong profession. The Qing Dynasty did not have a clear fixed retirement system. Although the Qing army (mainly the green battalion) sometimes had the action of "eliminating the old and the weak and replenishing the strong and strong", it never stipulated how old and what was weak, let alone how many years to carry out a layoff operation. As a result, the Qing soldiers varied in age. Generally speaking, the age of Qing soldiers ranged from 17 years old to 60 years old, and most of them married wives and had children. The families of the Qing soldiers all lived in the camp with the army, or rented houses nearby. Unlike the military camps of later generations, the soldiers lived in a centralized residence 24 hours a day. At that time, the life of the soldiers was like that of later generations, except for going out to fight, the barracks did not fire, and the soldiers went home to eat. Once the drill was too late to go home, the family members sent food. Around the venue of the exercise, their wives and children often watched from the sidelines. Having dinner with his wife and children during the break is another scenery compared to the drill.

In fact, the tradition of female family members accompanying the army can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, even the "Yuejia Army", which was known for its bravery and good fighting and not disturbing the people, and was talked about by the angry young people of later emperors. What's more, sex has always been a big problem in the army where men are crowded, and in addition to gold and silver in the rewards for soldiers who have rewarded generals throughout the ages, women are women. At least did not condone the soldiers to rob the people's daughters, even after the defeat, they did not forget to flee with their families, even if they went abroad, some people were even willing to stay as "local sons-in-law", the good quality of Chinese men in this era was enough to make many Chinese men who were "little three" and "little four" bloom everywhere in later generations.

Not to mention whether it is appropriate to use the military regulations of later generations to demand the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, even if a woman is found to accompany the army, with the social moral standards at that time, in addition to being intolerable by the class of scholars who "do not work hard" and "do not distinguish between grains" but occupy the moral high ground, it is not a bad behavior in the eyes of ordinary people. You must know that in this social environment where family values come first, having family members with the army will only make the front-line soldiers feel more at ease in the military, rather than being absent-minded because their families are far away, and making people feel at the front line and in the rear, which is not conducive to the stability of the military's morale. It was because the shipmaster and navy soldiers married local women in the Ryukyus, and no one thought there was anything wrong.

It's just that today's "crash" scene really didn't make anyone think of it.

"Deng Tianbao! Are you guilty? Zhou Ruitai had a plan in his heart, deliberately straightened his face, and shouted.

"Small...... Convicted! Deng Tianbao prostrate on the ground and kowtowed.

"Deng Tianbao! You have a daughter-in-law at home, and you are here to trick a woman from a good family into committing to you! If this is passed out, how will the people of the Ryukyus think of my **** soldiers of the kingdom? You deceived your father because you were unfilial, and it was for unrighteousness to abandon your wife and not marry! To ruin the reputation of the camp is to be disloyal! Sins are unforgivable! Zhou Ruitai shouted, "Someone! Tie him up for me! Twenty lashes! Set an example! ”

Hearing that Zhou Ruitai ordered Deng Tianbao to be beaten with twenty lashes, Li Tiezhu and many of the shipmasters and sailors who were good with Deng Tianbao were all taken aback. Deng Fuhe was even more surprised.

Lin Guiyun, who was on the side, heard Zhou Ruitai's shouting order, her appearance changed miserably, and she immediately stopped crying. And Lin Shiying, who was standing not far away, turned pale and looked at all this blankly.

Two of Zhou Ruitai's guards stepped forward and dragged Deng Tianbao up from the ground without saying anything, came to a wooden stake, took off his shirt, and tied him up with a wooden stake.

"My lord, this ...... Tianbao ...... He...... I didn't deceive anyone! That's what you want me to do! Didn't the woman write an essay? Li Tiezhu said hurriedly.

He really didn't understand why Zhou Ruitai, who had always taken good care of Deng Tianbao, had to deal with Deng Tianbao so ruthlessly this time.

Not to mention twenty whips, ordinary people can't stand five whips!

Zhou Ruitai snorted, did not answer, but turned his head to a guard and shouted an order: "Call me!" ”

When a guard saw Zhou Ruitai give a death order, he didn't dare to disobey, and with some embarrassment, he took a horse whip made of cowhide, stepped forward and whispered in Deng Tianbao's ear: "Brother Tianbao, I'm sorry." ”

Deng Tianbao's face turned pale and nodded.

The executing guard took a few steps back, raised his whip high, and slammed it at Deng Tianbao's back.

He usually has a good relationship with Deng Tianbao, and this time he came to the execution, but he also wanted to take care of Deng Tianbao, his whip seemed to be thrown loudly, the momentum was terrifying, but the strength was not heavy, but Rao was that he did not have a heavy hand, this whip was whipped on Deng Tianbao's back, and the flesh was immediately rolled, and blood and light appeared.

Deng Tianbao only felt a numbness in his back, followed by a hot stinging pain, although he had been prepared and gritted his teeth, but this whip hit his body, he still couldn't help screaming in pain.

Just as the executing guard raised the whip and was about to draw the second whip, with a heart-rending cry, a woman separated from the crowd, desperately rushed to Deng Tianbao's side, hugged him tightly, and used her body to block Deng Tianbao's already bleeding back.

Deng Tianbao felt Lin Shiying's familiar breath, and his heart was surging, wanting to tell her not to be whipped for herself and leave quickly, but her throat choked somehow.

At this time, the guard's second whip had been withdrawn, and when he saw Lin Shiying, who was suddenly blocking in front of Deng Tianbao, the guard was startled, his hand tightened, and he suddenly retracted the whip, but the whip was easy to retract, Rao is his whip skills are superb, although most of the strength on the whip has been removed, but the hard whip tip still swept on Lin Shiying's back with a "snap", instantly swept away a large piece of clothing on her back, and left a bruise red mark on her snow-white back.

Deng Tianbao heard the sound of the whip falling on Lin Shiying's back, felt her body twitch, and was heartbroken for a while, and howled loudly.

"Don't hit her! Don't hit her! Hit me! Hit me! ”

"A-Ying! Don't be stupid! Don't be stupid! You go! Let's go! ”

The guard stopped in a bit of a panic, looked at Zhou Ruitai, Zhou Ruitai stole a glance at Deng Fuhe, only to see the old man looking at him, his eyes were full of pleading, knowing that his "bitter meat plan" had worked, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"A-Ying! I beg you! Come on! Let's go! Deng Tian couldn't help arching Lin Shiying's face with his head, but Lin Shiying still hugged him tightly and refused to let go.

The execution guard saw that Zhou Ruitai did not show it, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but at this moment, he saw another woman pounce over, grabbed the whip in his hand, and tried hard to snatch the whip down.

"My lord! My lord! He who does not know is not guilty! Please spare my husband! Lin Guiyun held the whip stiffly, preventing the guards from beating again, and pleaded loudly to Zhou Ruitai.

"Bold! How can military law be child's play?! Zhou Ruitai pretended to get up and said, "Give me a hard beating!" ”

"My lord! Please! Spare my husband! I am his daughter-in-law, he has been out to sea for many years, and he hasn't been home for a long time! Didn't know I married him. If he knew, he wouldn't have married here! Those who don't know are not guilty, beg the adults to let my husband go! ”

"You haven't been through the door yet? He doesn't know? Zhou Ruitai pretended to be surprised and said, "What do you say about this?" ”

"Lord Qiyu! It's all old and small, isn't it! Father Deng ran to Zhou Ruitai, knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Xiao Lao didn't inform Xiao'er, so he found a family business for him in his hometown, and did this for him without authorization, this time he brought his daughter-in-law to the camp to complete his marriage, I never thought that he would marry a daughter-in-law here!" Indeed, he did not know it! Ask the adults to spare the children! ”

"It's easy for you to say 'he doesn't know', but what about this woman's life?" Zhou Ruitai got up and pointed to Lin Shiying, who was hugging Deng Tianbao, "So many brothers in my camp are married to local women, if your son marries someone else, abandons her, and passes on the general, how do the local people think of me **** as a national general?" ”

"My lord! Xiao Lao never wants Xiao Er to take a break from her! I hope you will see it! Deng Fuhe kowtowed again and again, "Seeing that this girl is also a very affectionate person, I want Xiao'er to marry her together!" It's just cheaper for this kid! ”

"Are you willing, the daughter-in-law you told him, I'm afraid you won't be willing?" Zhou Ruitai said, his eyes turned to Lin Guiyun.

"My lord! The little girl willing! I just ask the adults to spare my husband! Lin Guiyun hissed, "It's just multiple sisters!" I beg you to spare my husband! ”

Hearing her plea, Li Tiezhu glanced at his comrades and friends, then knelt on one knee with his fists clenched, and said loudly: "Bid for your lordship, for the sake of Tianbao's many merits, spare him!" ”
