Chapter 400: White Pole Soldiers
"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. Don't teach ......"
The crisp sound of reading sounded in his ears, Xia Shouli rubbed his eyes and got up, it had been two or three months since he got Gu Zhenhua's order, and he and Ma Wanchun and Ma Yanran came to the stone pillar.
When he first arrived at the stone pillar, Xia Shouli was warmly entertained, and the sick Qin Liangyu came to greet him in person, and the stone pillars on both sides of the soldiers competed to appreciate the demeanor of An **. However, when they met, they were a little disappointed, Xia Shouli was thin and withered, hunched over, like a big prawn.
And although Qin Liangyu is old and sick, as a female general who can rush and kill the army, she is very tall, half a head taller than Xia Shouli, and the two of them are standing opposite, and they can't tell who is a barbarian!
Those native soldiers pouted frequently at Xia Shouli, and even Qin Liangyu's eldest grandson, Ma Wannian, pouted.
"Second sister, third sister, is this one you invited reliable?"
Before Ma Wanchun could speak, Ma Yanran pinched her waist and said: "Big brother, I can tell you, be polite to Mr. Xia, he is the confidant of the King of Zhongshan, in charge of military supplies and food, and he came to help us, if you dare to snub others, I won't agree!" β
Looking at the angry appearance of the girl, Ma Wannian couldn't help but smile and said: "It's all said that girls are extroverted, and sure enough, it's just that this Mr. Xia is a little too cold, third sister, your taste ......."
"What are you talking about, let's find a fight!"
Ma Wanchun said with a smile: "Big brother doesn't know anything, although Mr. Xia is not very good, but the King of Zhongshan behind the family is young and heroic, and he is an all-round talent!" β
"Oh!"
Ma Wannian finally came to his senses. Haha laughed, Ma Yanran blushed with shame.
Just as they were talking and laughing, after Xia Shouli and Qin Liangyu met. said with a smile: "Old Madam Qin, I came here on the orders of King Zhongshan, firstly, to check the situation in Sichuan, and secondly, to send military rations. In addition, the king of Zhongshan also said that the white pole soldiers have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and should be praised! β
Qin Liangyu smiled heartily: "Lord Xia is too polite, we are just outsiders." The world should receive the emperor's favor and be loyal to the country. For so many years, the stone pillar soldiers have only received a little reward, as for the military rations. It's all self-raised, and now that the stone pillar can be maintained, we won't bother Lord Laoxia! β
Xia Shouli never thought that he would come with silver and grain. actually asked Qin Liangyu to dismiss it. made his old face burn.
At this time, Ma Yanran suddenly jumped over and hurriedly said, "Grandma, Mr. Xia has brought a lot of things, why don't you want it!" β
Qin Liangyu glared at her fiercely, and said with a calm face: "It's not easy for the imperial court, and it's not easy for An**, how many years have we ever asked for military salaries!" Besides, Lord Xia has a hard journey. It's a great kindness to be able to come and see us. It's a long time to travel, and Lord Xia should also leave some hard-earned money for himself! β
Xia Shouli was so shrewd, of course he heard a trace of displeasure, but he knew that Gu Zhenhua respected Qin Liangyu quite much, and he couldn't help it.
Xia Shouli bowed down and said: "The old lady is too polite, the king of Zhongshan allocated two million taels of silver, even if he uses silver to pave the road, he can't use it!" β
"How much?" Ma Wannian suddenly breathed rapidly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"Major General, two million taels of silver, another batch of 200,000 taels of military rations, 1,000 firearms, 2,000 pairs of armor, and 20 tiger cannons. As for the follow-up materials, they are still being transferred, and you draw up a list to come out, and within three months, all of them will be delivered. β
Xia Shouli said a word, and a thunderclap sounded in Ma Wannian's ears, and the more he spoke, the more surprised he became. In the end, the whole person was thundered, and it was dark. Ma Wannian suddenly became ruthless and pinched his thigh fiercely!
It hurts!
"Grandma, grandson heard me right, right?"
Qin Liangyu was also completely stunned at this time, she never dreamed that An ** would give them so much military salary, it was like a dream, and she couldn't believe it at all
"Mr. Xia, aren't you happy with your old body?"
"Old Madam Qin, I don't want to die in the future, this is all explained by the prince himself, he said that the white pole soldiers have served the country for many years, and countless soldiers have died in a foreign land. Half of this money is used as a pension for the dead and wounded soldiers, and the other half is used as military salary. β
Ma Yanran looked at the eldest brother and grandmother who were suppressed, not to mention how proud she was. smiled: "Grandma, the king of Zhongshan is generous, and he is not the same as those officials before!" β
Qin Liangyu also nodded, his eyes were red, and tears flowed down unconsciously.
"Mr. Xia, I am ignorant, please forgive me!"
Qin Liangyu said that there were many blessings, Xia Shouli hurriedly hugged Qin Liangyu, and said in fear: "Old lady, the two families of Qin and Ma, have been loyal and good for generations, not to mention the king of Zhongshan, even we are admired, and I have heard that you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, you can rest assured, from now on, if you have a bite to eat, I will not treat you badly!" β
Qin Liangyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, the land of mountains and wilderness has wronged you, please come here." β
Xia Shouli was taken to the mansion of the Xuanwei Division, saying that it was a mansion, but in fact, it was equivalent to Cheng DΓΉ, a wealthy family in the Central Plains, and there was no decoration, it was very simple.
Qin Liangyu invited Xia Shouli to the main hall to sit down, and the old lady smiled first: "Mr. Xia, I really didn't expect that the King of Zhongshan could be so bold, the old body really couldn't imagine it!" β
Xia Shouli said: "The white pole soldiers served in front of the army during the Pingbanzhou Rebellion. Then aided Liaodong, fought hard against the Tartars, Xia was also in Liaodong at the time, knowing the courage of the white pole soldiers, the battle of Shenyang, the white pole soldiers fought thousands of Tartars, this is how many years, the Ming Dynasty in the field, unprecedented feat. Then it was Ping Luxury, King Qin. For decades, Mrs. Qin has been loyal to the country and can be called the best among women, which is really admirable. The King of Zhongshan vigorously supported the White Pole Soldiers, firstly, to reward you for your years of hard work, and secondly, to hope that the old lady Qin could continue to serve the country, hold the land of Dongchuan, and then get rid of Zhang Xianzhong and restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty. β
Before Qin Liangyu could speak, Ma Wannian stood up first, patted his chest and said, "Mr. Xia, don't worry, as long as we are here, we will never let the thieves occupy Sichuan." Mr. Xia, to be honest, in the past, when there was something in the imperial court, I thought of the white pole soldiers, and we rushed to the forefront in the war, and the reward for merit was always at the end. The imperial court does not pay military salaries at all, and occasionally there are some rewards, and as a result, most of the things sent have to be given to the heralds, so I really don't want it! β
Xia Shouli then understood why Qin Liangyu refused, and he was also very emotional, such a loyal and brave soldier didn't know how to use it, no wonder the Ming Dynasty would lose the country!
"Old lady, young general, it's still the same sentence, you can rest assured, An ** is willing to be your strongest backing."
While he was talking, someone ran up.
"Report to the old lady, the fleet of grain is here!"
"Ahh
Qin Liangyu was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Quick, let everyone go, and everyone will carry the food together." β
Ann ** is talking and counting, the huge fleet entered the stone pillar, silver, food, weapons, and moved down the same, and the white pole soldiers of the stone pillar were all boiling.
The mountains of materials were transported to their hands, Xia Shouli personally arranged for manpower, accompanied by Ma Wannian, and sent silver and food from door to door. The warriors who died in battle more than ten years ago were all compensated at this time.
The women held the silver, held their husband's spirit card, and wept loudly, as if they wanted to cry out all the grievances of more than ten years. Finally, when they had enough of crying, they called the children to their side, stuffed them with a cloth bag, and drove the children away.
Xia Shouli and the others had just walked around, and they were followed by a large group of young people, all of whom were asked by their families to follow. The court is really compassionate to me, the warriors are no longer dead in vain, the courage and blood in the bones of the natives have burst out, rather than a lifetime of nesting, it is better to use this life to fight for a wealth! Even if he dies, with these pensions, his family can still live well!
Since the supplies of An ** were delivered, the stone pillar has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the white pole soldiers, who had been taking advantage of the opportunity day by day, have become active again. Everywhere near and far, there are constantly young people who come to join the army, and Qin Liangyu is also happy.
Xia Shouli also helped to adapt the white pole soldiers, and even established a school in the army so that young people could read and write. All of this made Qin Liangyu rejoice, and the old lady also regained her spirits, and she personally supervised the training every day. also sent Ma Wanchun and Ma Yanran to the school and let them study with them.
This is very painful for Miss Ma, let her dance and sword, let her study, it is like killing her. But Ma Wanchun also has an idea.
"Third sister, our Shizhu doesn't care about poetry and songs, we don't care about knitting women, but we can't care about it outside, sister, if you are willing, you will marry Shizhu's master, I look at you, you don't have to learn anything, even if it is 10,000 times worse, there are people who want you, and you won't be an old girl!"
"Who said I was going to marry those reckless men!"
"Hahaha, third sister, then you can take it and study hard!" Ma Wanchun smiled and stuffed the three-character scripture into Ma Yanran's hand, laughing like a beckoning cat!
The stone pillar is preparing for battle, there are more and more people and horses, and the supplies outside are also endless, it is impossible not to attract the attention of others. Emperor Zhang Xianzhong sharpened his knife Huo Huo, let the four righteous sons lead the troops, and pressed towards Dongchuan, to pull out the nail of the stone pillar.
"Mr. Xia, to tell you the truth, the old body's health has deteriorated in the past few years, and he almost killed the old body this winter. Offering thieves to attack, I am afraid that the old body is unable to command, and the child is young and impulsive, and I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility. The old man thought that he would still hand over the defense of the stone pillar to Mr. Xia, and asked Mr. not to shirk! β
"Hahaha, Old Madam Qin, she is also a literati in Xia, and she doesn't have that ability, but I have good news for Old Madam SΓΉ in Xia, King Zhongshan is going to enter Sichuan in person!" (To be continued!)
