Chapter 322: Fengya's Trapping (I)
There is something in his heart, no matter how sweet the food is, it tastes like chewing wax, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is tasteless, so Zhu Youcheng ended the travel plan stupidly and returned to Beijing.
is different from Zhu Youcheng's sullenness, the Jinyi Guard soldiers are very happy in their hearts, some of them have families and are eager to return to Beijing to visit relatives; Some of them know that they have a wife after returning to Beijing, and they are anxious to see what their wife looks like.
Happier than the soldiers of the Jinyi Guards were the officials along the way, who kept sending concerts to the capital to report on the itinerary of the Jinyi Guard. Zhu Youcheng is the favorite minister of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and reporting his itinerary can allow the emperor to remember their names when he relieves the pain of longing.
Originally, these officials were worried that Jinyiwei would be domineering and harassing the villagers, and they were ready to suffer some losses, so they would find a way to make up for the trouble of Jinyiwei. The money robbed and stolen goods will be compensated according to the price; The murder is a bit troublesome, so I have to pay some funeral expenses - anyway, Jinyiwei is ordered to kill people, and looking for him is no different from looking for death, and the villagers see the money and know the origin of the perpetrator, I believe it will not cause too much trouble.
However, when Jinyiwei crossed the border, the hearts of the officials were all relaxed. Because Jinyiwei basically didn't have trouble with the villagers, he was always stationed in the wilderness, and occasionally people went to the market to buy goods, and they were also bought and sold publicly, and there was never a situation of bullying others.
The officials couldn't help sighing: "It is worthy of being the secretary of the Daming Military Academy, and he manages the Jinyi Guard, who no one dares to mess with, like a good baby." Such a brocade guard that does not harass the villagers is the Great Wall of steel of the Ming Dynasty. ”
In fact, the officials were wrong, Jinyiwei actually harassed the villagers, but they were not harassing the living, but the dead.
As soon as Jin Yiwei arrived at a certain place, he immediately sent someone to ask if there were any unmarried women who had recently passed away in the local area. Once the target is found. Immediately approach the family of the deceased to purchase the woman's body.
Daming values men and doesn't care about women. When the family saw that the woman's body could be sold for money, they were naturally willing. The few who were unwilling, Jinyiwei did not forcibly buy it, but looked for another target.
Most of the family members exhumed the bodies. handed it over to Jinyiwei and left. And some family members who have a deep relationship with the woman stayed to see how these Qiu Ba would treat the corpses of their loved ones.
They found that the brocade guards had placed the coffin directly on the pyre, burned it to ashes, and then put the ashes into a white magnetic jar, and put this white magnetic jar into the same wooden box as another white magnetic jar.
They didn't understand what they meant and asked the Onmyoji.
Onmyoji pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have added a son-in-law." Jin Yiwei's program should be a secret marriage. It is probably because a soldier died in Jinyiwei, and the soldier was not married before his death. It is rumored that the unmarried man in the underworld will become a wandering ghost, so they are looking for an unmarried woman to marry in the yin. It's good. Anyway, your daughter passed away before she got married, and now she is married, and she will be able to give birth to a good family in the next life. And I heard that Beijing has established a temple of Ming warriors, as long as they die on the battlefield, they can enter the temple to receive the sacrifice of all the people. Your daughter is married to a good family. ”
They were overjoyed and couldn't help but run to the barracks to thank Jinyiwei for their kindness.
When Jin Yiwei left Sichuan. Suddenly, a thousand people came after them.
One of the leaders shouted, "Lord Zhu, take us!" ”
The guards brought the leader of the group to Zhu Youcheng. found out that he was still an old acquaintance - Gu Long, one of the four great knights.
As soon as he saw Zhu Youcheng, Gu Long bowed his head.
He said angrily: "Lord Zhu, you have allowed our four knights to join Jinyiwei, how can you not take us with you when you return to Beijing now?" ”
Zhu Youcheng smiled, seeing that Yiren loved Jinyiwei so much. He was greatly relieved.
He asked, "What about the Ming Volunteers, which are composed of tens of thousands of captives?" Nobody cares? ”
"How can we be, we have already handed over the Volunteers to Lord Zhu Xieyuan. My lord, these thousand people were carefully selected from among our captives. We quietly inquired with General Chen about the method of recruiting soldiers for Jinyiwei, and used this method to evaluate soldiers, and more than 6,000 people passed the test. We inquired that the number of Jinyi guards was reduced to about 1,000 this time. So we did another screening and singled out a thousand people. They know Chinese, and they are also smart, so they are the most suitable for being brocade guards. Gu Long Ling explained sharply.
Zhu Youcheng was worried about the attrition of the Jinyi Guard, and now he has a thousand spare troops.
Zhu Youcheng was a very suspicious person, and asked uneasily: "Have all these thousand people been tested?" ”
Gu Long patted his chest and said, "It's all tested, and my subordinates dare to vouch for their heads." ”
Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "There is no need for heads, there are a lot of heads cut by this official, and there is no shortage of you, so use your salary as a guarantee." The officer will take the time to evaluate the soldiers you have brought, and if there are any who are not qualified, he will deduct the passage money from your salary and give them to them, so that they can return home safely. ”
Gu Long agreed without a word.
Gu Long did not lie, these thousand Yi people, including the four great knights Gu Long, Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, and Wen Ruian, each of them passed the test. Later, these Yi people also became the backbone of Jinyiwei, and with Zhu Youcheng's southern and northern wars, he made great achievements, which is a later story, not to mention for the time being.
Walking outside the city of Changsha, I saw that the rice seedlings in the fields outside the city were green, the grass was green on the ridges, the big trees in the distance were like umbrellas, and the chimneys on the roof emitted wisps of cooking smoke, so a leisurely farm life.
Suddenly, I heard a mountain song in the distance, probably due to excitement, so let's open my mouth to express my feelings.
In my impression, the Han people generally rarely sing mountain songs, but the ethnic minorities sing and dance, and a few ethnic minorities also boast that they are a singing and dancing nation, showing off their singing and dancing skills in front of the Han people.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding, and there are many mountain songs of the Han family, but they can't be heard in the temple, and they can only be appreciated in the fields. For example, in history, Feng Menglong compiled a collection of mountain songs "Gui Zhi'er", which included 435 Han songs.
Hearing the mountain songs, Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but smile on his face, this is a hard-working people, this is a happy people, in order to guard this happiness, what can you do if you work hard?
Suddenly, Ma Yunniang rode in front of Zhu Youcheng, her face flushed with anger.
"Sister Yun Niang, what's going on? Whoever bullied you, tell my brother, and I'll help you bully back. ”
Ma Yunniang shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's those people." ”
Zhu Youcheng was a little confused and asked, "Who are they?" ”
"Brother Cheng, listen."
Zhu Youcheng listened attentively, and sure enough, a faint singing voice came.
The lyrics vaguely are: "The village girl came to the city, and the village girl didn't (not) wear shoes, why not marry into the city, wear silk and shoes." ”
Zhu Youcheng smiled and said: "It is normal for young people to fall in love with each other and sing mountain songs and laugh. It's too bad to force myself to do it, and I won't do that. ”
Ma Yunniang said angrily: "It's not a joke, it's a mockery." A few boys in fancy costumes came out of the city, and when they saw a group of peasant girls who were very beautiful, they laughed at them. You don't know how obscene and shameless the smiles on their faces are. ”
"Maybe those boys are too ugly. But it's not their fault that they're ugly, and ugly people also have the right to pursue happiness. Maybe those sons and brothers did fall in love with those peasant girls, and it would be a beautiful thing to be in pairs when the time comes. ”
Ma Yunniang just didn't follow and insisted on Zhu Youcheng for help.
Zhu Youcheng said secretly: "Dead friends don't die poor, for the happiness of this official, I have to be sorry for those sons." ”
Zhu Youcheng thought for a while, cleared his throat, and sang softly in the tone of that mountain song: "Don't laugh at me in the city guys, I have many benefits of playing barefoot." Go up the mountain to pick up a hundred catties, and go down to the field to pick up the snails. ”
Ma Yunniang was overjoyed and said: "This sentence is well replied, and those little rascals can be sung speechless." ”
Before Ma Yunniang could act, she saw a horse next to her galloping out like an arrow, but it was Feng Dingbang of Qianhu.
It turned out that Feng Dingbang's family was poor since he was a child, and before participating in the Jinyi Guard, his younger sister at home had no shoes to wear at all, and was always barefoot, just like those peasant girls.
When he heard those boys laughing at those barefoot girls, he felt like they were laughing at their own sisters, and they had already been on fire. If it weren't for the strict military rules of the Jinyi Guard, he would have stepped forward to give those guys a fat beating.
Now that he has the lyrics, why don't you hurry up and teach those muddy boys a lesson. (To be continued......)
