Chapter 504: Exploring the Camp Turmoil
At this moment, a gunshot rang out, Dai Zongqian felt something burrow into his body, his hand was released at once, the rifle fell to the ground, and his body gradually softened.
Ding Shi Chang struggled to get up, picked up his rifle and started shooting, but he only fired two shots, and a series of bullets hit him, and immediately blood splattered, and Ding Shi Chang fell straight to Dai Zongqian's side.
Dai Zongqian tried to straighten up, looked back, and saw Dong Fuxiang, the general of Zuo Jigao, who was riding on a horse, and was showing a hideous smile at him.
Dai Zongqian stood up desperately, stumbled forward, and Dong Fuxiang laughed proudly behind him, but Dong Fuxiang did not chase after him.
Dai Zongqian ran up a hillside, but was stunned by the sudden sight in front of him.
In the distance, on the sand, there were corpses of the Huai officers and soldiers under his command everywhere!
"Suffer death!" Dong Fuxiang's voice came from behind, and Dai Zongqian looked back, and the horse pistol in Dong Fuxiang's hand was already spewing fire.
"Ahh ——" Dai Zongqian screamed and woke up from his nightmare.
At this time, it was already dawn, Dai Zongqian looked out the window and saw the bay in the distance, and a beating heart gradually calmed down.
It had been a few months since he came to the port of Wyan, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
"Old Dai, have another nightmare?" The door opened, and Liu Chaopei walked in quickly.
"Hmm." Dai Zongqian looked at Liu Chaopei and nodded, he noticed at this time that Liu Chaopei's face was not very good-looking.
"I had a nightmare just now, too." Liu Chaopei's face showed a look of grief and indignation, "It's a left mule again!" O more than a thousand of my brothers...... You're dying so badly......"
Liu Chaopei said, tears couldn't help but flow.
"No revenge. I wear someone and swear not to be a person! "Thinking of Zuo Jigao's bloody deeds owed to himself and the officers and soldiers of Liu Chaopei's Huai. Dai Zongqian's eyes were torn. Gritted his teeth.
"Old Dai, Master Li said, only this little brother of the Lin family can help us take revenge, shouldn't we go to see him? I heard that he had arrived in Port Wynne. Liu Chaopei asked a little eagerly.
"I have inquired, and for the sake of safety, he is now living in seclusion in the Ryukyu Imperial Palace, but I have heard that he seems to be sick and has not seen any visitors. Let's wait. Dai Zongqian tried to calm himself and motioned to Liu Chaopei to calm down.
"Lao Dai, you say, is this little brother of the Lin family really Lin Wenxiang's twin brothers? Why are the two of them so different? Lin Wenxiang is polite and polite, and some people ask from the university, but how can he, a brother, be a murderer......" Liu Chaopei remembered the report in the newspaper about Lin Yiqing's achievements, and couldn't help but fight a cold war.
He is a military general himself and has fought a lot of battles. But Lin Yiqing's record is unheard of by him.
"The things he has experienced in his life are different. Seeing that the personality is naturally different. Dai Zongqian said, "Lin Wenxiang is the nephew of Lord Shen, who has read poetry and books since he was a child, and has seen the world abroad. His brother was plundered by traitors since he was a child, exiled abroad, and experienced life and death disasters, so he was able to achieve martial arts. Lin Wenxiang, you and I have seen him, he is very good, and he can get along with us, but after all, he is Wenchen, but his brother, who was born in the same army as us, feels that it will be easier to get along in the future, and Master Li also thinks the same, so he will let our brothers come to find him to settle down. ”
"He is now the leader of the Satsuma rebels, can the court allow him to return to his homeland?" Liu Chaopei hesitated for a moment and asked again.
"If he doesn't even have this ability, will Master Li let us come to him?" Dai Zongqian looked at Liu Chaopei, his eyes were full of excitement, "I am thinking, in the future, the one who can bring down the left mule and avenge the dead soldiers under your command is this young master!" ”
Seeing that Dai Zongqian was so confident in Lin Yiqing, Liu Chaopei's doubts gradually disappeared, and an excited look appeared on his face.
"Let's go! Go out and get some food! Let's go to the camp of the sailors! Dai Zongqian got up as he spoke, came to the window, and took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze.
Liu Chaopei also came to the window, when the morning horn sounded, he saw the distant fort, accompanied by high-spirited military music, a huge dragon flag was rising, and his heart couldn't help but be full of pride, looking forward to the day when he could return to the barracks.
Liu Chaopei followed Dai Zongqian out of the door of the inn, came to a restaurant, and after eating some breakfast, he went to the Qianguo Navy Camp to watch the drill.
As the generals of the Huai Army, Dai Zongqian and Liu Chaopei have always wanted to understand the mystery of the strong combat effectiveness of the Ship Administration and Naval Soldiers, but they did not have the opportunity to contact the Navy, and this time they came to Ryukyu, which is equivalent to having the opportunity to understand directly, and the two of them naturally refused to let go. During the period of waiting for Lin Yiqing, they came to the naval camp to watch the exercises whenever they had leisure, and it can be said that they benefited a lot.
But Dai and Liu would not have thought that they would be destined to see an unexpected show today.
"Gui Yun, look! In front of you is the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom! ”
Deng Fuhe, the father of Deng Tianbao, a naval officer, said happily through the porthole, looking at the coast in the distance.
Beside him, a young girl raised her head and looked in the direction of Daddy Deng's finger, a glimmer of surprise and a slight expectation flashed in her eyes.
This girl named Gui Yun is Deng Fuhe's daughter-in-law who told Deng Tianbao. This time he brought her to Ryukyu to marry Deng Tianbao.
Gui Yun is the daughter of the Lin family in Tengnan Mansion, and the Lin family is a big family in Taowan, and it can be said that it is not easy for Deng Fuhe to tell his son such a daughter-in-law.
Because his son joined the shipbuilding navy and made military exploits, the Deng family was proud of it, and it was the Lin family who was willing to marry their daughter, and Deng Fuhe couldn't wait to take his daughter-in-law to Ryukyu on the China Merchants steamship "Daya", one was to marry his son as soon as possible, and the other was to show the majesty of his son's unit in front of his daughter-in-law.
"Dad has been to Ryukyu Kingdom before?" Gui Yun asked, with a hint of shyness in her voice.
"No, though. Daddy and this Ryukyu country. But there is a relationship. Hehe. Deng Fuhe recalled the past and couldn't help sighing.
"I heard from my family that it was my father and Tenpo who saved the Ryukyu Kingdom from being shipwrecked, right?" Gui Yun said.
"Yes! Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding at the time, and Tianbao and I were unable to save them all. Deng Fuhe sighed, "Those who unfortunately died were sent by me, Tianbao and Ling Lao. The cemetery is also our caretake. Later, when they returned to China, they also asked someone to bring them twenty silver dollars (the actual thank you was two hundred yuan.) Most of them were swallowed up by local officials). ”
"This time my father came to Ryukyu, can I see them?" Gui Yun asked.
"It's hard to say, I heard that they all live on Miyakojima, and it's a long way from here, so if you have the chance, you can't wait to see them if you have a boat there." Deng Fuhe said.
While Weng and his daughter-in-law were talking, a sailor knocked on the door and entered the cabin, "Old man Deng." It's time to get to the ground. Pack up and get ready to disembark. The sailor said.
"Great!" Deng Fuhe nodded. He said to his daughter-in-law and her two maids, "You pack up first, and I'll go back and clean up a while, and we'll get off the boat together later." ”
Gui Yun agreed, and got busy with the maids. Deng Fuhe returned to his cabin, and one of the servants in the cabin had already received the news and began to pack his things.
A short time later, the "Daya" sailed into the port of Wyan. Deng Fuhe took his daughter-in-law to the deck, and the first thing he saw was the golden dragon flag on a red background fluttering on the fort in the distance, and he was very excited for a while.
Soon, the "Daya" approached the wharf, and the local migrant workers who had been waiting here for a long time saw the trestle lowered, so they greeted it and began to unload the goods with the workers on board.
Gui Yun looked at all this curiously, feeling very curious.
For a girl like her, it was the first time she had come to a foreign country.
Everything here was fresh to her, especially the sight of the majestic battleship moored in the anchorage not far away.
She remembered very well that it was such a battleship that sailed into the Anping Port of Tessan, and the god-like red-clothed soldiers came down from it, rushed straight into the Tannan Mansion, and captured the greedy and incompetent prefect Liu Xuan.
From that day on, she was full of reverie for the red-clad GIs.
And I heard from the villagers that it was these red-clothed soldiers who beat the Japanese to the ground and saved Tennan.
It was only after learning that Deng Tianbao was a shipmaster and navy soldier that his father agreed to this family business.
Now, it's time to meet your hero......
After a short time, the convoy of horses that came to meet them arrived, and after learning that Deng Fuhe and others were going to the shipmaster's naval garrison to find their son, the head of the team happily let them get into the carriage.
After about half an hour, the convoy arrived at the shipmaster and naval battalion in Shouli City.
Deng Fuhe showed the guards at the door the documents, and then took his daughter-in-law into the camp, and the guards learned that he was Deng Tianbao's father, and they were very enthusiastic, so they called a small soldier to take Deng Fuhe and others straight to find Deng Tianbao.
As soon as he entered the camp, Deng Fuhe felt a different atmosphere.
In this camp, some young women can be seen almost everywhere.
"Dare to ask this little brother, these women are ......," Deng Fuhe asked the little soldier who led the way.
"Hehe, don't hide it from my father, they are all the daughters-in-law of our camp." The little soldier replied with a smile.
"The daughter-in-law of the big camp?" Dunford and Odds.
"They were all poor women in the area, and many of them had no men in their families and had no way to make a living, and when we arrived here, we gave alms to the local people, and they thanked the court for their kindness, so they married the brothers in the camp. And every brother who had no daughter-in-law was married here. The soldier replied, "Shangguan remembered the hard work of the brothers, and saw that it was all what you and I wanted, so it was all approved." ”
After listening to Xiao Bing's answer, Deng Fuhe nodded and didn't ask again, but in his heart, somehow, there was a faint feeling of something wrong.
Xiao Bing quickly took Deng Fuhe and others to Deng Tianbao's barracks, Xiao Bing shouted Deng Tianbao's name a few times, but when he didn't see an answer, he pushed open the door and found that the barracks was empty.
"You're looking for Tenpo?" A red-clothed sailor in the distance heard the creep's cry and ran over.
"Brother Tiezhu, have you seen Tianbao?" The soldier asked.
"Nope. Probably going to ...... Hunted. ”
The sailor named Li Tiezhu saw Father Deng and the young girl beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"He went hunting?" Deng Fuhe asked.
"This is ......" Li Tiezhu clenched his fists with both hands. While giving Deng Fuhe a salute. He asked the creep.
"This is Brother Tianbao's father. Deng Fu and Old Man Deng. Xiao Bing said and introduced the two, "This is Li Tiezhu, Brother Tianbao's brother." This is Brother Tianbao's daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door......"
Listening to Xiao Bing's last words, a trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed in Li Tiezhu's eyes.
"It turned out to be the old man and ...... My sister-in-law arrived, and she was unwelcome! Li Tiezhu smiled with a spring breeze on his face, stepped forward to help Deng Fuhe, and let him into the house.
Deng Fuhe entered the house. I noticed that the room was extremely clean and the furnishings were in good order, and I couldn't help but be very satisfied.
In the past, his son's residence had never been so clean and tidy. That's why he's in a hurry to tell him about his next family business.
Of course, Deng Fuhe didn't know that it was not Deng Tianbao's credit that this room was so tidy, and the daughter-in-law he brought was much more sensitive than him.
Lin Guiyun looked at the room, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly unconsciously.
Although it was a barracks where only men lived, she was still here, smelling a hint of a woman.
Li Tiezhu asked Deng Fu, Lin Guiyun and others to sit down. He also called several other colleagues who were good friends with Deng Tianbao to come over to see Deng Tianbao's father, and learned that Deng Tianbao's father had come to visit the camp. These sailors were also very happy, some of them came forward to ask for warmth and warmth, and some even went to bring fruits.
Li Tiezhu saw everyone coming, and was about to withdraw to find Deng Tianbao, but he heard someone shouting outside: "Tianbao! Where have you been! Your father brought your daughter-in-law to see you! Hey!? This is ......" and then there was no movement.
When Deng Fuhe heard his son coming back, he got up and walked out of the barracks, and immediately saw his son's familiar figure.
Deng Fuhe looked at his son, who had a somewhat dark and thin face but was very strong, and was overjoyed, and strode forward to meet him, but he didn't notice that behind his son, there was still a person.
"Tenpo ......"
"Daddy......"
Deng Tianbao came to his father to bow down, Deng Fuhe pulled his son up, as if he was so happy, he was about to hug his son, but suddenly found that the surroundings were strangely quiet.
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.
"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, and looked 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 a daughter-in-law, and brought her to the camp.
And today is the day when the Ryukyu women come to the camp to help the army, 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 that 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. (To be continued......)
PS: I feel that Li Shimin is so stupid, if he didn't send Tang Seng to learn the scriptures at that time, but ate him, we are still in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty!!
