Chapter 26: Windfall

"General Pang and General Wang, as a subordinate of the Duke of Yasukuni, why did you retreat here? Could it be that the war ahead is unfavorable? So where did Jiannu go? Although Yin Minxing was already outside the temple, he still cared about state affairs, and after drinking a few bowls of wine, he quickly mentioned the topic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yin Minxing asked, Pang Yue, who was picking up vegetables, couldn't help but be stunned, and the chopsticks stopped in mid-air. Wang Dongri and the other Ming army officers couldn't help but bow their heads, and their faces became gloomy. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled.

"Huh? General Pang, General Wang, what's wrong with you? Zhou Yuanqing asked puzzled.

As soon as he entered Zhoujiazhuang, Pang Yue considered whether to mention to Yin Minxing and others about the death of Huang Degong and the capture of Hongguang, but Yin Minxing, Zhou Qingyuan and others were quite enthusiastic at that time, and they only cared about Zhang Luo's matter of picking up the wind and washing the dust of the army, so they didn't have time to ask more. Now that he suddenly heard Yin Minxing ask this, Pang Yue's heart became even more entangled.

"General Pang, what's wrong?" Seeing the appearance of Pang Yue and the others, Yin Minxing suddenly had an ominous premonition, and his tone became a little anxious.

Pang Yue sighed, put down his chopsticks, and said heavily: "Just a few days ago, our town encountered the Jiannu army in Ogigang, and the tens of thousands of troops of the whole army were almost wiped out except for a few who escaped from Shengtian. Yasukuni Gong... Martyrdom! ”

Hearing Pang Yue say this, the squires present were all dumbfounded.

Yin Minxing's face also turned pale, because not long ago he had heard that Emperor Hongguang had fled to Huang Degong's army, and now that Huangzhen was almost destroyed, what about Emperor Hongguang?

"That's... Where's the holy car? Not long ago, the students heard that the holy car had arrived at the Yasukuni public camp! Yin Minxing didn't care about any demeanor, grabbed Pang Yue's sleeve with one hand, and his eyes widened.

"I'm incompetent, and I haven't been able to protect Your Majesty..."Seeing Yin Minxing's expression, Pang Yue couldn't bear it and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, it's been... Fall into the hands of Jiannu! ”

Hearing this, Yin Minxing loosened Pang Yue's sleeve, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, even the chair overturned.

Pang Yue hurriedly went to help. Unexpectedly, Yin Minxing turned over, knelt down facing the north, kept knocking his forehead on the ground, and cried loudly: "Your Majesty..."

This scene touched Pang Yue greatly, although he had learned about the foolish loyalty of some ministers of the feudal dynasty in books before, but now seeing Yin Minxing's actions with his own eyes, he still had mixed feelings, including puzzlement and surprise, but more respect. Throughout the thousands of years of development history of China, there is always such a group of people, no matter what the state is, no matter whether the emperor is wise or mediocre, they will unconditionally choose to be loyal to the monarch, from beginning to end, even if they are broken. In Pang Yue's view, although the behavior of these people seems a little pedantic and even unreasonable in the eyes of later generations, at least for now, what they embody is a kind of righteousness.

"Alas, Mr. Yin, hurry up." Pang Yue struggled to help Yin Min to the chair.

"Your Majesty...... You are in the hands of the enemy, but Weichen can only survive on the sidelines, Weichen ....... read decades of sage books in vain, and eat the court in vain! Yoon Minxing, who was helped to the chair, was still grieving.

"Alas, Brother Xuanzi, the matter has come to this, it is useless to grieve, or it is important to take care of your health." Zhou Yuanqing's face was not very good-looking, and after persuading Yin Minxing, he turned his head and instructed the family waiting on the side, "Send Mr. Yin down to rest first." ”

After the family sent Yin Minxing away, Zhou Yuanqing sighed: "Although Brother Xuanzi is no longer in the temple, he has nothing to say about the loyalty to the court and the saint." I just heard General Pang say this, and I only knew what kind of danger Daming was already in, and it was no wonder that Brother Xuanzi was so sad. ”

For a moment, almost the entire hall fell silent, and the wine and food on the table were not moved, and the atmosphere was almost suffocating. …,

In the end, it was Zhou Qingyuan who broke this deadlock, he personally poured wine into the bowl of Pang Yue and others, and greeted: "Come on, come on, everyone, no matter what, the rice always has to be eaten!" Now that the country is in crisis, if you want to serve the country, you have to eat first, right? ”

"Zhou Yuanwai, please first." Pang Yue said, "Speaking of which, this time thanks to Zhou Yuanwai's warm hospitality, our army will not sleep in the wilderness." ”

Zhou Yuanqing waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, General Pang doesn't have to worry about it." Your ministry served the country in the front, bravely killed the enemy, and traveled to the village, how could Zhou not fulfill the friendship of the landlord? It's just that now that the capital has fallen, and the Holy Lord has fallen into the hands of the enemy, where are you going to go next? ”

To be honest, Pang Mou's mind was also in chaos at first, and he didn't know where he was going. It was only later that I heard that Lord Yuanfu had protected the Queen Mother and went to Zhejiang, so Pang decided to go to Zhejiang to have a look, and by the way, he went to contact other imperial court soldiers and horses. After all, we are the official army of the Ming Dynasty, and Pang Mou is also deeply favored by the imperial court, so naturally we can't do that thing to surrender the enemy. After Pang Yue finished speaking, he took a big sip of wine. He didn't reveal the exact destination.

Zhou Yuanqing nodded: "It's okay." General Pang's deep understanding of righteousness, Zhou has seen it with his own eyes in the county today, and Zhou is even more admired by tonight's talk. Alas, if the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty can be like your troops, why did this country fall to this? ”

Pang Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Zhou Yuan has won the award, and the general of the defeated army is not brave enough, and he really deserves to praise Pang this time." After that, Pang had no other thoughts, but to kill more Jiannu to repay the country's kindness. ”

Although everyone's mood was not very good, under Zhou Yuanqing's warm greeting, this reception banquet was finally eaten so-so. After that, Zhou Yuanqing arranged accommodation for Pang Yue and other generals and the soldiers of the two battalions. Because the number of Ming troops was too large, the vacant rooms that could be vacated in Zhoujiazhuang were limited, so in the end, some soldiers who could not live had to set up tents to rest in the open space around the village.

After arranging the camping and guarding of the team, Pang Yue and Wang Dongri both declined Zhou Yuanqing's kindness to invite them to live in the Zhou family's compound, and insisted on living with the soldiers. This made Zhou Yuanqing shocked and had to pay more respect to these two generals.

*********

The next morning, after packing up their things and having breakfast, Pang Yue and Wang Dongri prepared to lead the army and leave.

"Outside of Zhou, we're leaving. Thank you for your hospitality. In the courtyard of the Zhou family's compound, Pang Yue and Wang Dongri said goodbye to Zhou Yuanqing.

Zhou Yuanqing said with a smile: "Zhou originally wanted to stay with your department to rest for a few more days, but the two generals insisted on leaving, and Zhou didn't want to drag down your army's marching plan. After speaking, he instructed the butler beside him, "Bring the things up." ”

Soon, several housekeepers walked to Zhou Yuanqing's side with a large box and put the box down.

Seeing that Pang Yue was a little puzzled, Zhou Yuanqing smiled and said: "Yesterday, Zhou's shopkeeper in the grain store in the county town was unreasonable, and he received more than 80 taels of silver from the two generals. In addition, your ministry is about to depart, and Zhou has nothing to give, and there are only a few yellow and white things, just to express his feelings. In addition, there is some grain, rice and forage, and I have asked the family to put it outside the village, hoping that the two generals will accept it together. ”

Pang Yue and Wang Dongri just wanted to open their mouths to refuse, but they saw Zhou Qingyuan's palm push forward, almost pushing all the words of the two into their stomachs: "Don't say it two generals, you must accept these things." Now that the national crisis is at hand, Zhou can't go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country like the two generals, how can he take care of these things outside his body? If the two of you still look up to me Zhou, you must accept Zhou's heart! ”

Seeing Zhou Yuanqing's tone was categorical, there was no room for denial. Pang Yue and Wang Dongri are not easy to refuse. …,

"Then Pang Mou will replace thousands of soldiers in the whole army to thank Zhou Yuanwai!" Pang Yue hugged his fist and saluted Zhou Yuanqing.

"Hahaha, good!" Zhou Yuanqing was very happy to see Pang Yue accept the gift, "In addition, Zhou has one more thing to ask for, and I hope General Pang agrees." ”

"Zhou Yuan, please speak, as long as Pang can do it, he will definitely do it."

Zhou Yuanqing pointed to a young man beside him: "This is Zhou's youngest son, Zhou Tianzheng, who has turned nineteen this year, has practiced boxing and kicking for a few days, and has a bit of brute strength." But in recent years, I haven't been able to read at all, and I've been clamoring to go to the front to kill the enemy. Now, I want him to be thrown into General Pang's camp, and I hope that General Pang will not be disliked. ”

Pang Yue shifted his gaze to the young man, only to see that he was about the same size as himself, although his face was still a little childish, but he already looked like he was powerful, his eyes were full of essence, and he looked like a good seedling for joining the army. If you can get under your command, you may be able to become a fierce general in the future.

Thinking of this, Pang Yue smiled and said, "Ling Lang is really a talent!" It's just that if you devote yourself to Rongma, you must fight in the north and south, have no fixed place to live, and even worry about your life. ”

"It is an honor for a dog to follow a hero like General Pang, how can Zhou be reluctant? What's more, Zhou can't kill the enemy with his own hands, and there are dogs who go into battle on his behalf, so I can forget about one of my wishes. Zhou Yuanqing twisted his beard and smiled, "Tianzheng, I haven't seen the two generals yet." ”

Zhou Tianzheng stepped forward and saluted Pang Yue and Wang Dongri with fists: "Zhou Tianzheng has seen General Pang and General Wang!" ”

Pang Yue and Wang Dongri both smiled and nodded.

At this time, Yin Minxing walked out and saluted Pang Yue and Wang Dongri: "I heard that the two of you are leaving, and the students also came out to send them off." Alas, last night, the students lost their temper for a while, which made the two generals laugh. ”

Pang Yue and Wang Dongri hurriedly returned the salute.

"Where is Mr. Yin!" Pang Yue said sincerely, "Although Mr. is already far away from the rivers and lakes, he is still worried about national affairs, how can this kind of mind be comparable to us?" ”

"Well, don't mention that." Yin Minxing shook his head, "Now that your army is about to leave, the students have nothing to send, just a few heartfelt words." ”

"Mr. Yin, please speak, I'll listen to you."

Yin Minxing said: "Although Daming has suffered this catastrophe now, the students hope that the two generals can still serve the country as before." Even if Jiannu is rampant for a while, as long as our Ming courtiers can have great righteousness and repay the country's kindness, Daming will definitely have a prosperous day! ”

"What Mr. Yin said is exactly what we think! Please rest assured, as long as Pang's head is still there, he will never do anything that is sorry for the court and his ancestors! Pang Yue looked at Yin Minxing and said firmly.

"Good, good! With General Pang's words, the students are also relieved! A smile finally appeared on Yin Minxing's face.

"However, Mr. Yin, outside of Zhou Yuan, I'm afraid that it won't be long before Jiannu will send troops south. It's better to prepare early! Pang Yue, who is familiar with the trend of history, feels that it is necessary to remind this historical anti-Qing righteous man.

Yin Minxing smiled slightly: "This student knows in his heart, General Pang just needs to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and there is no need to worry about us." ”

"General Pang just rest assured, although Zhou does not have as much knowledge as Brother Xuanzi, and he is not as good as General Pang's deep understanding of righteousness and loyalty to the country, but he can also be regarded as a wise and shameful person, no matter what he does, he will not shame his ancestors." Zhou Yuanqing also expressed his attitude.

"That's fine, then Mr. Yin and Zhou Yuanwai, take care! I'll go first! When I have the opportunity in the future, I will come and have a good time with the two seniors! ”

"Mr. Yin, Zhou Yuanwai, take care!" …,

Pang Yue and Wang Dongri gave salutes again.

"The two generals go all the way! Zhou's dog will be entrusted to the two! ”

"Take care, two generals! Students are not far away! ”

*********

Zhoujiazhuang is getting farther and farther away, and the crowd of people seeing them off has long disappeared from the sky. Looking at the dozens of extra mules and horses in the team, a large pile of grain and grass, and the heavy box of yellow and white things, Pang Yue couldn't help but sigh at the magnitude of this harvest. More than 80 mules and horses, 200 stones of grain and forage, 1,000 taels of silver, 100 taels of gold, this Zhou Yuanqing is really generous!

Although Pang Yue couldn't find the life and ending of Zhou Yuanqing after looking through his mind, judging from his character and his relationship with Yin Minxing, he probably threw himself into the anti-Qing struggle with Yin Minxing in the end.

Although the Southern Ming Dynasty was generally a tragic era for the Han people, there were still many famous and unknown righteous people in this tragic era. No matter what their background is or what their family background is, they resolutely raised the banner of resistance when the Manchu iron cavalry arrived, and they went forward one after another and were unswerving! Yin Minxing is just the most ordinary of them. However, due to the tilting of the Han people themselves and the eyes of the ruling group, the blood of these righteous men ultimately failed to save the fall of China, leaving only endless regrets in addition to a series of tragic songs!

However, these are the original history, since I have come here, then I will definitely do my best to avoid the occurrence of that kind of regret, so that the blood of the Chinese righteous people will not be shed in vain! Pang Yue looked firmly into the distance and said silently in his heart.
