Chapter 11 The floating clouds of Yulei become ancient and modern
Qiu Luan's word Boxiang. Born in a general's family, Feng Xianning waited.
The ancestor was Qiu Yue, the general who pacified the rebellion of King Anhua.
After Qiu Yue's death, Qiu Luan took over the title and guarded the border.
In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, Qiu Luan was impeached by the trilateral governor Zeng Mo for obstructing military affairs, and he was dismissed from his post and arrested. The incompetent and timid Qiu Luan took refuge in Yan Song, recognized Yan Song as his father, was reused, and framed Zeng Miao's tragic death.
In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, there was a "Gengxu Rebellion", the Mongol Tatars invaded southward, the Ming army could not resist the enemy, the whole army was defeated, a scuffle, the general soldier Zhang Da was killed, Datong complained to the imperial court, and it was urgent to appoint a new Datong general soldier to lead the border soldiers to fight against the northern captives.
The Datong General Army is a high-ranking official rank in the trilateral military defense, second only to the trilateral governor, and equivalent to the commander of the border defense army.
But if in ordinary times, if you can make up for this official, it is a blessing from the smoke of the ancestral tomb and eight lifetimes of cultivation. But in this special period of invasion by the northern captives, no one dared to go to the Manchu generals. At present, the Mongol Tartars are still outside the city of Datong, and they may not be able to repel the enemy, but if they unfortunately lose the important town of Datong, they will definitely die.
Moreover, the sword has no eyes, and as a general soldier martyrdom, he only gained a good reputation, leaving orphans and widows, and suffering from the eyes of outsiders.
To put it bluntly, it was a bad errand, and no one wanted to go, but at this time, Yan Song stood up and promoted his righteous son Qiu Luan as the chief soldier of Datong.
To tell the truth, when Yan Song was promoting Qiu Luan, he was thinking about giving him a chance, thinking that after he Qiu Luan was a famous general, even if he was not as good as Zeng Miao, the governor of the three sides, it would not be much worse. Therefore, he recommended Qiu Luan in the hope of holding the border military in his own hands.
But he never expected that Qiu Luan had been a military general for many years, but he didn't even know martial arts. I heard that my father-in-law Yan Song recommended me, so I had to go up.
And Jiajing was still very happy, when everyone was shrinking, Qiu Luan stood up, and immediately ordered Qiu Luan to be the general of Ren Pingyu to meet the Tatar army.
Speaking of Qiu Luan, this benevolent brother is really not a little lucky, and when he arrives at the same time, the army of Alta has already grabbed things and gone home to coax his wife.
So now that the enemy army has retreated, and his Qiu Luan has no military achievements, what can he do?
If he doesn't have military exploits, he can't be promoted, and if he can't be promoted, where will he get rich?
So Mr. Qiu Luan carried forward the spirit of making something out of nothing, and he was defeated and risked to make meritorious deeds, and passed it to the imperial court, Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed, and added Qiu Luan to the prince Taibao, and was deeply favored, and ordered him to guard Gansu, the military defense chief on both sides of Datong.
Military affairs are added, and it is a temporary scenery.
But helplessly, Qiu Luan is really not that material. To defend Gansu, dereliction of duty, and Datong, we must rely on negotiations with me to defend the border.
For more than a decade, the people of Datong border have been starving, displaced, and homeless.
However, Qiu Luan took the lead again and again, which made Jiajing think that as long as Qiu Luan was there, the northern captives could be calmed, and he could be at ease in alchemy and ascending to immortality.
So Qiu Luan since the "Gengshu Change", began a glorious era of thousands of graces, he was once named the crown prince, the general, and the Marquis of Xianning. The emperor also trusted him very much.
But Qiu Luan, who has infinite scenery, is becoming more and more arrogant, and even his father-in-law Yan Song does not pay attention to him, and dares to shout when he sees him.
This is what Yan Song never expected, he can be said to be repentant in his intestines, he never expected this white-eyed wolf to bite back, but this person is popular, he can't afford to provoke it no matter what, so he has to swallow his anger.
The official career is like this, if someone is popular, someone must be angry. There is no use of eternal friends in the official field, only eternal interests.
However, before the tenth month, in order to solve the problem once and for all, Qiu Luan actually proposed the construction of the horse market to the imperial court.
The so-called horse market, that is, the Ming Dynasty gave me the goods, I answered the Ming Dynasty horses, such a transaction was stored in the Tang Dynasty as far away, it seems to be very fair, but the premise is that fairness is always based on strength!
Without relative strength, fairness is a joke.
Because Qiu Luan has no strength, and the Ming border defense has no strength, so I answered a few rotten horses, and dared to open his mouth and ask for many goods, if Qiu Luan didn't give it, then ...... Then I will beat you, and Qiu Luan can only be knocked out of his front teeth and swallowed in his stomach. I don't dare to put a fart.
Qiu Luan thought to himself, just think that he has suffered a loss, doesn't my mother often say that suffering a loss is a blessing!
It can be seen that this Qiu Luan does not have a god-like strategy, but has a pig-like brain.
What he didn't expect was that I had no good education in China, and I didn't know how to be honest.
In the words of the little prince: Brothers, rob Lao Tzu of money, wine, and women!
The border became more and more chaotic, the property was lost more and more, and the situation had reached a situation where it was beyond control. Jiang Yingkui, the squire of the military department, was ordered to temporarily take charge of the general's seal, but Qiu Luan actually delayed the delivery of the military seal, thinking that he was well and would go back to continue fishing.
It's night, capital.
The General's Mansion.
In the spacious study, there are candlelight buildings, and Tang Sancai's horses reflect different colors through the firelight.
Qiu Luan liked it very much, dreaming that he would be cured of his illness and return to Datong as soon as possible, so that he could receive more such belongings.
In the middle of the night, the rooster crows and the dog barks suddenly.
I saw that in the night, a burst of horses' hooves came from the Imperial City Avenue, from far and near, looking very anxious.
The sound of horses' hooves "stomping" is disturbing.
From far and near, I saw the border generals with bright light armor stained with blood, riding horses and whips, and galloping wildly.
And tonight the fog was extremely heavy, and the blood that had solidified on the cold light armor was diluted and dripped again.
In front ......of the yamen of the General's Mansion, the blood-stained young general urgently pulled the horse's head.
Suddenly, a "hiss" sound of Xiao Xiao Ma woke up hundreds of people in their sleep and lit up the lights of thousands of homes.
It's just that the war horse is still playing in circles, snorting heavily, swallowing white mist, but the tears wet the eyelashes that are sticking to the bloody scabs, and the blood dripping from the horse's hooves is actually soaked in the horse's mane.
With a pop, the horse's limbs stiffened and fell straight, and the blood mixed with the rain splashed in all directions, and the crimson blood stains were fainted on the ground.
After all, it has completed its mission, but it is just a wail, as if it is telling of unwillingness.
And with this wail, the young general almost fell to the ground, he just glanced at the war horse that had accompanied him for many years, raised his heavy hand, closed its blood-coagulated eyelids, and turned away. He couldn't be sentimental, he still had important things to do, and he traveled thousands of miles from Datong to deliver an urgent military situation -- the army of Datong had washed the 16 forts in the three counties of Datong in blood.
The old housekeeper was sleepy-eyed, and as soon as he opened the door of the house, a stream of blood and gagging rushed straight to his nostrils, making his sleepiness disappear in an instant.
Deputy General Zhao Song didn't care whether there was blood or sweat on his face, said goodbye to the saber at his waist, and hurriedly ran to Qiu Luan's study.
100,000 are in a hurry, and the foreign captives are committing crimes!
At this moment, Qiu Luan was about to hug Mei Jiao Niang to do a big thing to inherit the lineage, so he took off his pants, and heard a low shout outside the door: "General, the big thing is not good, I will answer...... I replied to the bloody Datong border defense 16 shops! ”
Qiu Luan's movements stiffened, and he hurriedly lifted his pants.
As the old saying goes, there are three points of fire in the clay man, let alone a dignified general!
Although Lao Tzu said that he was cowardly, you also bullied Lao Tzu too much!
"Bullshit, I'll kill your whole family!"
General Qiu was so angry that even his favorite Tang Sancai fell to the ground and heard a crisp sound. Apparently he was really angry.
The next second can be imagined, it must be 100,000 troops, bloodbathing the big battalion, the soldiers are pointing, and the Ming army flag is endless!
However, quite the opposite.
Qiu Luan was like a deflated ball, softened, just took the adjutant general's military report, threw it aside, and cried.
"You're a bully! I don't have to play like this! ”
Speechless all night, falling in love with the West Building, falling in love with the West Building, some people are lovesick, and some people are forced to say that they are sad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, since the Yongle Emperor moved the capital, the city, with the belief that the Son of Heaven guards the country, has stood in the wind and rain for more than 500 years.
It is also this city that has witnessed too much bloody rain in the background, witnessed the great dreams of several generations of emperors, and witnessed the scolding of many courtiers.
Early morning.
Spring rain and clear clouds, clear mountains and clear skies. The wine snail is red, the dream of the soup, and the soul is eliminated on the branch of the kingfisher.
Xia Mu led the horses, took his younger brother Luo Kedi, and the maid Ah San, and came to the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty.
If Xinghua is a ten-mile lotus, luxury is everywhere. Then this imperial capital is the east wind thousand trees, the stars are like rain, and the BMW carved cars are full of fragrance.
Just look at the straight line is full of rows of shops, green tiles and green high-rise buildings, the city tide is like rain, and the view is endless.
At the end of the horizon in the distance, a majestic palace rises faintly, with yellow tiles and red walls, reflecting Xia Mu's eyes, where is the most central symbol of power - the palace of the Ming Emperor.
And the current Beijing is far from the Beijing of the 21st century.
Xia Mu was used to seeing the high-rise buildings in Beijing, but when he looked back at Beijing hundreds of years ago, he was even more speechless in an instant, and only spit out one sentence:
"Great!"
Although it is a short sentence, it seems to contain too many strong feelings, and there is no way to vent, just four words, it seems to be calm, but in fact it is a surging tide, which instantly flooded Xia Mu's chest and turned overturned.
On the side, Ahsan took care of his bags and took out a handkerchief to wash the dust on Xia Mu's face.
Xia Mu looked at Luo Kedi, who was looking around, and saw that the injury on his arm was almost healed. In the past half a month, the three of them were sleeping in the open air, hungry and full, and they were not killed by the mountain bandits, and they were almost eaten by wild wolves.
In this era, there is no traffic police uncle on the road to escort you, and there is no D-shaped fast train, relying on two big thick legs to go all over the world.
Xia Mu came all the way, and he felt a lot of emotion.
"Defeat the enemy, you go find a restaurant, let's have a good meal first." Xia Mu asked for three taels of silver from Ah Sang and handed them to Luo Kedi.
"Order!" Luo Kedi let out a happy voice and went straight to the memorial arch building with the smell of wine in the distance.
Just when Xia Mu was about to find a passer-by to ask where Xu Jie's mansion was, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs.
Xia Mu frowned, and saw a half-sized man in ragged clothes and a sallow face, holding a purse embroidered with peony and lotus flowers in his hand, and stumbling and running.
And the appearance of the young man made him stare at each other, but his eyebrows were furrowed.
I saw that the kid was dressed in tatters, obviously revealing his identity, not a beggar is not far away, the family must be poor, and the purse in his hand is very exquisite, from the Jiangnan silk embroidery, at first glance it is the stuff of a big family, and the purse is bulging, obviously there is a lot of silver in it.
But the kid's eyes were clear, but with a hint of panic, it was the first time he had robbed someone's things, and his legs and feet were injured, drenched in blood, and his arms were scarred, apparently left by work.
After a while, Xia Mu had already seen through it, and this kid must have had a last resort to grab the silver.
The puppy panicked all the way, knocked over several people, and was overjoyed, with this money, his mother's illness could be cured.
But as soon as he looked up, his face was gray, his eyes were frightened, and he saw a handsome young man standing in front of him, but what frightened him was the young man's clothes and the long knife he wore at his waist.
"Fly...... Flying Fish Suit ...... Embroider...... Embroidered spring knife? His voice trembled.
The edict of the Ming Jinyi Guard, no one in the world heard of it and was frightened.
Just when Xia Mu was about to make a move, there was a coquettish pant from behind: "You, don't run away!" ”
Sometimes we have to believe in fate, and people who are destined for fate can meet thousands of miles away.
When Xia Mu and Xu Xiyi met for the first time in the crowd, there was no world in their eyes, only each other's figures remained.
His eyes were like stars, and his eyes were sparkling. She has a graceful demeanor and fluttering hair.
No one doesn't believe that there is always love at first sight in this world, and there will always be someone who will give you a stunning feeling when you see it for the first time.
And Xia Mu is like this to Xu Xiyi.
