Chapter 109: Preparation
"The sin will not be ashamed!" Zu Dashou kowtowed two more heads and stood up, Liu Cheng has been silent on the surface these days, but his actions in the secret have not stopped, or transferred, or ascended and descended secretly, and unconsciously purged the more than 10,000 Han troops under the original Houjin, and the real power has all fallen into the hands of a group of upstarts led by Ye Dacheng and the airborne cadres sent by Liu Cheng, and senior generals like the Zu family who were born in the sect have basically been kicked aside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info These days, Zu Dashou is also unable to sleep and eat at home, lest he be arrested and pushed outside the city to cut off his head one night, and he is even more frightened when he comes, and now a stone has fallen to the ground.
"Your son can be lawful, I also heard Agui's credit for Zeyuan!" Liu Cheng smiled: "As the saying goes, begging for loyalty is at the door of filial piety, if it weren't for General Fuyu's strict teachings on weekdays, how could the two sons understand the righteousness?" ”
"Don't dare! The two little beasts just did their duty, how dare they be greedy for their own work? The crime will be defeated in the Daling River, and he is willing to be punished by the law of the imperial court, where can he dare to make meritorious contributions! ”
Liu Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't say that, as for the matter of Da Linghe at the beginning, it was also forced by the situation, and it was not the fault of the general alone, so I would naturally write to the imperial court, write down the general's exploits, and ask the imperial court to exonerate the crime." Besides, if he is guilty, which of the more than 10,000 Han soldiers in this Shengjing City is not guilty? If we want to punish all the crimes, won't everyone have to live? ”
When Zu Dashou heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "This is the great grace of the Duke of the Kingdom, even if we are crushed, it will be difficult to repay it!" ”
"Let's sit down and talk, if you talk about age, the general is still my senior in the army, so you don't have to be formal!"
"The last general will take a seat!"
"I have invited the general here today for two things, one has already been said, and the other is to favor the general. This time, I pacified the Dongyu and found out that many grange houses were all the property of the former Liaodong military households. Originally, I planned to return it to the old master, but too much time has passed, and I don't know if the old owner is still alive, general, you are an old man in the Liao army, can you help the next one in this matter? ”
Listening to Liu Cheng's words, Zu Dashou was slightly stunned, Liu Cheng's words were half-true and half-false, and it was said earlier that after Jin Bingxing, he would take all the fields and properties of Liaodong Jiangmen as his own, which was true. But if Liu Cheng will take the initiative to spit out the spoils obtained after a hard battle and return them to the Liaodong Generals, then Zu Dashou will not believe it if he is killed. Obviously, the other party had other intentions in doing this, thinking of this, Zu Dashou nodded slightly: "The prince of the country is so magnanimous, if the generals of the Liao army know, they will definitely be grateful." But as you said, these things are a long time ago, and many families have long since died, if you want to return the property, there must be a lot of treacherous villains to pretend to be, if you let them deceive the property, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the country! ”
"General, this is an old saying!" Liu Cheng said with a smile: "Liu will not go around in circles here, although there is a lot of land, but Liu has more meritorious soldiers under his command, and there is only a limit to what can be taken out and returned." I hope that the people who get the land are the heroes and heroes of the Liao army, and everyone will take this opportunity to make friends, does General Fuyu understand what I mean? ”
"That's what Guogong said!" When Zu Dashou heard this, he already fully understood, and said with a smile: "Who is not admired in the Liao army who is a hero like Grandpa Guo?" In the next time, even if there is no such thing as this property, if the heroes and heroes in the Liao army hear that they were sent by the grandfather of the country, they will gather here! ”
Listening to the sound of talking, listening to the sound of gongs and drums, Liu Cheng saw that Zu Dashou had understood his intentions, and he was secretly happy in his heart. The elite of the Ming army is concentrated in the nine sides, among which Shaanxi and Xuanda Town have stayed in it, and the generals in it have friendships, once their own army goes south, these two families know their own strength, and they have friendships, they will not show their strength. As long as you take the city of Beijing, you can pass it on; Only Guan Ningjun has nothing to do with him, and he is the closest to Jingshi, which is the biggest obstacle for him to go south, and if he can take this opportunity to enter and pull out, it will be extremely beneficial to his future great cause.
"Good, good, good! If it comes to fruition this time, Liu will have a good reward! ”
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is already March of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and it is still a land of ice and snow in Liaodong. But in this vast white underground, there seems to be a huge force in it, brewing, surging, and waiting.
Boom Bad, Boom Bad!
With a piercing sound of sawing, a piece of oak was cut by a circular saw that rotated at high speed, and a plank about three inches thick fell.
"Quick, quick, I need two hundred planks of 'C3', okay! The shipyard is in a hurry to ask for it! A man in a coarse cloth uniform ran into the factory and shouted in Chinese with a serious accent, but his voice was muffled by the sharp noise in the factory, and no one paid attention to him at all, and they were all buried in their work.
"Don't you know the rules?" Li Guo pointed to the placard hanging on the wall and said: "Idle people are not allowed to enter, and those who enter the factory must wear hats. ”
The man looked back, only to see that Li Guo was wearing a tight-fitting woolen military suit, with a wide-brimmed belt around his waist, and a saber hanging, this kind of saber was imitated by Liu Cheng according to the Chakshi long knife used by the Central Asian mercenaries under his command, with a length of about 90 cm, a thick back and a wide blade, an oak leaf-like tip, occupying 2/3 of the overall width of the deep arc blood groove, the blade has a beautiful but fierce arc, and the handle is wrapped in copper and lead, which can be used as a blunt weapon to smash the enemy's head in close combat. The scabbard made of oak is made of shiny brass hoops. Because the center of gravity of this saber is close to the hilt, it is easy to grasp even when fighting violently on a horse, and with the inertia of the impact of the war horse and the curvature of the horse, a skilled knight can easily cut the calf-thick stake in two, and kill the infantry on the battlefield is even more chopping melons and vegetables. This superior performance saber quickly won the love of the knights under Liu Cheng's command, and whether they were cavalry officers or not, they all managed to get one to hang on their waists. Different from the ordinary soldiers, the saber used by the officer uses a lot of brass accessories, so that not only will not rust, but also the more you use it, the more shiny it is, the man saw the saber on Li Guo's waist, he knew that the identity of the other party was far above himself, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "My lord's forgiveness, I am the interpreter of the shipyard, and the urgency over there is tight, the villain has not paid attention to the hint at the door, and please forgive me!" ”
When Li Guo heard the strange accent of the other party, he knew that this was a North Korean, and he was probably still a two-team student, at least a Chinese, otherwise it would not be his turn to be an interpreter. Since he came to Liu Cheng's side, he didn't stay in Shengjing for a few days, he was sent to Tieling, and then every once in a while he was transferred to another place, there was an iron factory, a lumber yard, and a sea ship to catch seals. These days, Li Guo also knows that Liu Cheng has captured a lot of craftsmen from North Korea, and the envoys are very hard, many of these Koreans are still noble children, Li Guo was born poor, and what he hated most was the gentleman and nobleman who oppressed the people. ”
"Here!" The interpreter hurriedly kowtowed, took out a voucher from his arms, presented it with both hands, Li Guo looked at the voucher, confirmed that it was correct, and then pointed to the back of the factory and said: "You ask people to drive the carriage to the back, and I will let people carry the sawn wood out later!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The interpreter kowtowed, stood up tamely, and ran to the back of the factory. Li Guo returned to the factory, called the foreman to give a few instructions, and put away the slip.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the lunch break, and because of the heavy work in the sawmill, in addition to the normal breakfast and evening meals, the factory also provided a snack - kelp radish soup and two multigrain rice balls mixed with half a piece of whale meat. Hearing the sound of bangzi marking the lunch break, the North Korean workers dressed in plain coarse cloth walked out of the factory in a tame manner, lined up to receive their own share, many people were reluctant to eat such a good meal, wrapped one or two rice balls with clean straw, and prepared to take them back to their families in the evening, and for a time the yard was full of the sound of chewing and drinking soup.
As the steward of the sawmill, Li Guo's treatment is naturally much better, and the *** fried in mutton fat made of various minced fish meat, steamed wheat cakes, and soup are the same. He ate very sweetly, and suddenly someone behind him smiled: "Li Dusi, are you satisfied with the food here?" ”
Li Guo turned around, just in time to see Hao Shaoqi looking at him with a smile, he knew that this person was the leader of Liu Cheng's immortal team, a high-ranking figure, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The last general will see Lord Hao, where it was rude, please forgive me!" ”
"That's it!" Hao Shaoqi smiled and waved his hand: "You are not an adult's subordinate, and you are not up or down from me." Besides, this kind of place doesn't need to be polite. He looked at the things on Li Guo's plate and said with a smile: "It's fried intestines again, it smells okay, and it just so happens that I haven't eaten lunch yet, so let's eat it here together!" ”
Hao Shaoqi hurriedly called the cook who delivered the meal, took the plate and chopsticks, Hao Shaoqi ate two mouthfuls of fried sausages, and said with a smile: "Our family is really a natural cheap embryo, and I can't eat good wine and good food in the eight seats, but I like the coarse food in this army, it seems that I can only be Qiu Ba in this life!" ”
"Actually, this is already very good, where can you eat such a meal in the army!" Li Guo replied a little shyly. Hao Shaoqi was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said: "Yes, it's good to be half-full in the army on weekdays, where can you eat meat like this, there are really not many people like adults who treat us Qiu Ba as people!" ”
Li Guo didn't know how to answer, so he had to lower his head and bury his head in eating. Hao Shaoqi looked at Li Guo and put down the chopsticks in his hand slightly: "Li Dusi, I came here on the orders of the adults this time, you can go back!" ”
"Go back?" Li Guo was stunned for a moment, and raised his head just in time to see Hao Shaoqi's sparkling eyes.
"Yes, my lord asked me to tell you that he has made you see a lot of things in the past few months, and when you go back, you can tell your uncle what you have seen, this is your answer to your uncle!"
Hearing Ah Gui's words, Li Guo couldn't help but be a little stunned, and he began to recall what he had seen and heard in the past few months: the rows of bulging factories next to Tieling, the bright red molten iron gushing out of the blast furnace, the white smoke, the strange machinery that devoured coal and water, the weapons pouring out of the factory like flowing water, the wild men who cut down towering trees by the great rivers in the far north, the sailors who fought with whales and seals on the sea, the mountains of wood, and the sawmill that made a loud noise in front of him, Stacks of cloth in the warehouse, bundles of twine, and large boats under construction in the dockyard by the sea. Finally, he lowered his head and looked at the already cold fish intestines on the plate. The corners of his eyes slowly moistened, and tears had flowed down before he knew it.
"Hey, good man, why are you crying?" Hao Shaoqi couldn't help but feel at a loss when he saw Li Guo like this, he had long been accustomed to swords, guns and arrows in his life, but he had never seen the power of tears. Just when he was panicking, Li Guo wiped his tears and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered what I had seen and heard in the past few months, and I couldn't help crying." ”
"It's no wonder!" Hao Shaoqi nodded: "Our adults are urging a little tighter, so you can go up the mountain and down to the sea for such a little time, you really have suffered a lot!" ”
"Not really!" Li Guo shook his head: "Lord Hao, I am also from Shaanxi, I have suffered so much back then, what is the bitterness of being well-fed and warmed like this!" It's just that in the past few months, what I have seen and heard so many things, I have done it all by Lord Liu alone. There are thousands of people in the world, but there is only one like Lord Liu, and a person can be like him, and he really didn't live in vain! ”
Hearing Li Guo's words, Hao Shaoqi's expression became serious: "Well said, ambitious, worthy of our Shaanxi Township Party, you didn't waste my family's hard work, you go back and tell your uncle, the world is big, don't shed the blood of a good man here, wouldn't it be good to keep it in other places!" ”
Capital.
"Master, it's not too early!"
Lu Boqi finally opened his eyes, struggled from the warm arms of the fifth aunt, got dressed under the waiter of the girl, went out and stepped on the road of the early dynasty, looking at the still dark sky, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's still comfortable in Datong!" ”
