Chapter 16: Into the Play

December 26th,

Yang Bo accompanied the eldest lady Yun Niang and the younger lady Chen Bilian, surrounded by cadres above the Maojiatun Platoon Company, the heads of the civil affairs departments, and the managers of the artisan households, they came to the newly completed stage in Maojiatun, ready to watch the first performance after the completion of the big stage, the opera name "The Fall of Pan Xing'er".

With the arrival of the second batch of Dengzhou refugees, Maojiatun has grown unprecedentedly, Yang Bo now has three integrated battalions and a reserve battalion of half peasants and half soldiers, because after the battle of Yuezhao, Yang Bo resolutely did not want to have prisoners with blood debts on his hands, so the sin army camp was not replenished completely, only two companies, plus the logistics team, Yang Bo now has about 1,300 soldiers available in his hands, the organization has expanded, and more and more problems have been exposed.

The veterans began to become arrogant, and they who had followed Yang Bo to lay the foundation rose to the sky, and even openly declared that even the elite border troops of the imperial court could not match their combat effectiveness.

Yang Bo has always paid attention to cultivating the pride of their soldiers, but now their pride has gone too far......

The recruits' problems are even more serious, their life in Maojiatun is gradually stable, their small peasant thinking is irrepressibly breeding, every day only thinking about the mother-in-law and the baby three acres of land, although the usual training is still hard, but they think that they have settled in the peach blossom paradise, the mind is slack, there is no sense of crisis.

It is under this premise that the script is freshly baked......

Han Yan'er ran all over Santun, found a few supporting roles, and a large number of extras, and contacted a grass team on the ground in Laizhou, there is a very suitable candidate for the protagonist, and his singing skills and singing voice are very good, especially the crying voice is the best.

With the sound of a bang, the audience fell silent, and the big drama began......

"Hey, let's talk about it, I see that you have been writing mysteriously for several days, what is this play about?" Chen Bilian looked at the stage, confused.

"Yes, the slave family is also curious?" Yun Niang, who was wearing a thin veil, also asked softly, it was the first time she appeared in public in Maojiatun since her wedding.

"This play is about the first year of Jingkang leap November, the Tatars broke the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty Bianliang, in May of the following year, the Jin army captured the second emperor of Huiqin, and the concubines, princes and royal family, clan, concubines, princesses, palace maids, craftsmen, skills, teaching workshop men and women a total of more than 14,000, evacuated from Bianjing in seven batches, the palace treasury was empty, saw the front two walking stumbling, wearing python robes? Those two people played the second emperor of Huiqin......"

The two suddenly realized, and after the narration ended, the actor who played Huizong stepped forward and sang, "My son has to complain about the heavens and the earth, just because my father and son are two generations of faint kings, regret that he should not be greedy for money in the palace, regret not to build a lot of construction and labor to harm the people, regret not to listen to the words of loyal ministers, but regard the dog and thief as his heart, and regret not to ......"

"The Tartar said persecution, I only know to offer gold and silver, you call Lone to save his life, who saves Lone's life, since ancient times, there are a few kings who have died, it seems that such a tragic situation is unheard of, at this time it is so bad that Lone's heart is unbearable, my father and son can't escape this ten thousand years of infamy, the clouds are full of fog and the sky is dim, and the sorrow is eager to close the ghost door......"

The audience has been shocked, many of them love to listen to opera, but they never thought that singing could have such a big scene.

Yang Bo peeked around, very satisfied with the effect, because he turned the usual small stage into a huge drama stage.

The actor of Huizong stood in front of the stage and sang babblingly, and the words he sang were very white, and Yang Bo had to make these military households understand.

Behind him, countless extras played the role of concubines, princesses, people, etc., they carried iron ropes, and some of them sprinkled some red dye on their bodies, and walked forward with difficulty under the long knife and leather whip of a group of golden soldiers who played like wolves and tigers.

At the back of the stage, the props symbolizing the room ** hall were emitting fire and black smoke, among which a monk wearing monk's clothes suddenly staggered, and was immediately dragged to the front of the stage by the gold soldiers.

This kind of realistic scene immediately attracted everyone, even the female man Chen Bilian forgot to talk to Yang Bo, staring intently at the stage, her face changing as the opera progressed......

The first act "The Broken Country" ends with a concubine crying after being beaten by a large group of golden soldiers.

As the curtain slowly closed, everyone in the audience finally saw the concubine throw a foot of Bailuo on the tree and tie it up......

In the interval between the closing and changing the scene props, none of the more than 100 people in the audience spoke, only the sound of heavy breathing in the field, the scene of the concubine being ** just now was pressed in their hearts like a mountain, Yang Bo even noticed that a military household in the back row stood up with red eyes, and the tragedy portrayed in the play made them breathless, and at the same time they were worried about their hearts, what will be the final fate of this group of people?

As the curtain slowly opened, the second act, "Rout", began......

The scene changed suddenly, in the fierce sound of war drums, the first to appear were two majestic actors dressed as military generals, followed by a large group of soldiers with spears, at a glance at the outfit, they knew that it was Song Bing, and the originally depressed and embarrassed people in the audience saw that Song Bing was strong, and for some reason their hearts were relieved......

At first, a military general babbled and sang a few words, nothing more than loyalty to the country, to fight to the death with the Tartars, welcome back the second sect and the like, this person had just finished singing, and suddenly a person dressed as a spy rushed up:

Spy (white): "It's not good to report ~~~~~ general"

General (white): "What's the alarm?" ”

Spy (white): "The news from the side of the right talent has arrived, and the Tartars have raised an army of 3,000 and are coming here to kill"

General (white): "Reward you with a silver medal, and then explore and report"

Spy (white): "Yes"

Under the spies.

The general said to another Song general: "Pass the order, and order the 6,000 generals in the battalion, all over the body, and order the Pixiu, and the five drums will be in the school field to listen to the order."

Song Jiang: "Yes"

In the end, the two sang together: "The school field is moving people and horses, and the wolf smoke will be swept away"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang, accompanied by the piercing sound of gongs, the curtain on the stage on the left was instantly opened, and a team of people dressed as golden soldiers rushed out under the leadership of a big flower face.

This uniform action startled everyone in the audience, but Yang Bo secretly frowned, the neighing of the horses in the background sounded too late, because the rehearsal time was short, and these people had not yet cooperated.

There was no superfluous nonsense, and with the fierce beat of the drums, the battle began......

Those golden soldiers all turned back, keeping a certain distance from the Song soldiers who were chasing after them, and the two teams chased and ran twice on the stage, and the distance between the teams was still maintained.

"Lao Tzucao, fuck you, you haven't eaten, why don't you run faster?" A military household couldn't stand such teasing on the stage, so he stood up and scolded.

Soon, he was taken away by the military commissioner who was patrolling the field, although he struggled to resist.

"What to do?"

Tie Niu asked in Yang Bo's ear

"Just deal with it according to military discipline, be frightened in public, beat five sticks, and be confined," Yang Bo replied very succinctly.

Everyone in the audience saw that the stage chased two more laps, and they obviously saw that the speed of the Song soldiers slowed down, and at this moment, those who played the golden soldiers suddenly shouted at the same time, followed by a fierce turn, picked up the prop bow, and then a bangzi sounded, and countless dense props symbolizing the arrow crossbow fell on the top of the head of the stage, all of which fell on the heads of the Song soldiers, and those who played the Song soldiers on the field immediately fell to the ground, under the cover of the "corpse" in front, the people behind hurriedly inserted the prop bow into the special clothes.

There was another bang, and the golden soldiers shouted again, and more props and crossbows fell......

The curtain of the second act slowly fell, and everyone listened angrily to the general with several arrows and crossbows on his body singing: "Yesterday, the Tartars were begged for before the battle, who knew that the Tartars were highly skilled, and the battalion of soldiers came and went like the wind, just like the tiger that went down the mountain and went out of the sea, but I was in the cage of his extermination, and the six thousand sons sent their lives, just because I was arrogant and high-spirited......"

The actors who played the golden soldiers rushed up, pulled up the hair of the general and the "corpse" on the ground, and turned their faces to the crowd in the audience, and the curtain finally closed tightly as the golden soldiers put the prop knives around their necks one by one.

And the audience was full of heavy panting at the moment......

"Yun Niang used to dislike the vulgar Xianggong, but now that I think about it, Yun Niang is ashamed"

Yun Niang suddenly whispered to Yang Bo: "Xiang Gong is talented, Yun Niang is known today." ”

"You praise him well"

Chen Bilian's ears are sensitive, and she immediately said, looked at Yang Bo and said: "But this play is excellent, but it is not pleasant to watch."

Yang Bo laughed when he heard this, attracting everyone's attention, "Now it's just watching a play, if you really meet this scene, aren't you angry?" ”

Chen Bilian retorted: "Huh, the Tartars dare to come, and the old lady will throw them into the sea and drown!" ”

Yang Bo turned his head to the iron bull behind him and said, "Tie Niu, give you 6,000 pikemen, and meet 3,000 Tatar cavalry in the field, what should you do?" ”

Seeing that the people around him were contemplative, Yang Bo continued: "There is a city three miles away from you, can you return to the city alive?" ”

Tie Niu thought for a long time: "Tie Niu listens to his brother, and his brother will do what he says."

Yang Bo was speechless for a moment, and asked again: "Xiucai?" ”

Xiucai was taken aback and took his gaze back from Qiu Ping: "What? What's up? ”

Yang Bo was angry and snorted heavily: "He Jiu, you come"

He Jiu touched his head and said with a hippie smile: "My lord, is it okay to give some sword and shield soldiers?" ”

"The sword and shield soldier is carrying a small round shield, not a full-body shield, what use can it be?" Yang Bo interrupted He Jiu's extravagant hopes.

He Jiu's face turned red, and he thought for a long time before he said: "I will let the whole army gather together to form a defensive formation and move slowly towards the city."

Seeing Yang Bo shaking his head, He Jiu also knew that the answer could not satisfy Yang Bo, but he didn't know what to do.

"That's what happens when the hedgehogs get together," Yang Bo pointed to the stage

"However, the Tartars are unparalleled, if I don't wait for the hedgehog to gather, I'm afraid it will be ......," Xiao Mochou said

"Dabao, organize the whole regiment of soldiers to come to the play in batches, let each of them write a deduction performance, deduct one tael of silver for handing over the blank roll, and deduct two taels for plagiarizing others"

Yang Bo suddenly laughed: "You guys are the same, okay, let's continue to watch the show." ”

As if in response to Yang Bo's words, the curtain slowly opened, and the third act (escape) began......
