Section 537 A little peace is easy
The people of the Ming Dynasty have no ambitions, they have a field, a house, and their wives and children are hot on the kang.
The merchants of the Ming Dynasty had some petty ambitions, but they certainly still did business around their homeland, and they could travel far away, but they did not want to go away and never return home.
Home, in the eyes of the Ming people, is the root, and the tree has no way to survive without roots.
Every great migration of the Han people in Chinese history is actually a record of a disaster, such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, locust plagues, plagues, wars, and so on.
Ordinary Ming people who want to leave their hometown, whether it is Han nationality, but other ethnic minorities.
But also in order to live a better life, the Chinese people have been moving to the places they can go since ancient times, but they still worry about that home in their hearts, even if there is only a thatched house.
And on this day, the people who had traveled far away returned.
This is already two months after Yue Zheng led the fleet back to Nanjing, who would care about the big men in the imperial court who would care about the big men in the imperial court, who would care that the price of silk in the Jiangnan market had risen by 30%, and who would care that the small merchants scolded the big merchants in front of the official mansion for hoarding materials on this new voyage and affecting their purchase price.
Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi belong to the scope of Yan'an Prefecture, and the capital of Shaanxi is under the border guard of Sijing, and there are 100 households in Wubaozi.
There is a rule of water here, those water kilns are more precious than granaries, if you want to wash your face, the elders of the family to the children, people must not pour out the water after washing, this water can either be fed to pigs, or can be watered on the ground. On the Loess Plateau, there is a loess slope, and the nearest water source is also ten miles away from here.
Nine months of the year were dry, two months were muddy, and only one month was a little clear.
The grain output is definitely the lowest in the whole of Shaanxi in terms of per capita, and if it is not for the supply of some grain from above, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be scattered. But they are still the poorest in the entire Shaanxi capital.
"Mother, I'm back!" On the top of the dirt mountain, a man in his forties, who was eight feet tall, shouted at the top of his voice.
There are still only continuous loess slopes around, and there is no shadow of people in sight.
After shouting, the sturdy man grinned and said to the woman next to him, "The family is poor. said that you would suffer if you followed me, but you didn't listen. If you regret it, I'll send you back. Whether you go to Jiangnan, you can go to the Black Sea. ”
The woman next to her was blonde, with a pair of blue eyes, and was wearing a set of Da Ming linen clothes. She learned Chinese by heart, but it was too difficult to understand, and she could only understand simple words, which had a long list of dialects. The woman didn't understand. just responded with a smile, and then lifted the burden on his body hard, and reached out to pull the little boy beside him.
The eight-year-old boy, with a wound on his face, refused to be pulled by his mother and lifted his backpack as well. The only thing he knew was to go home, to follow this sturdy man of the Ming Dynasty.
He believes that he also wants to be a strong warrior. So ask yourself to carry your own luggage along the way,
Of course. also includes the Daming war knife made of stainless steel, a Daming two-handed war knife with a length of two feet and three inches, and he can't control it.
"Cut a handful of millet and bend your waist...... "The sturdy man opened his throat and sang, striding towards the home where he didn't know how far.
It's been four years, and a man who was about to be forgotten has returned.
Four years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and went crazy. Carrying a knife and slashing, and then fell into a water kiln, he was tied up by the people of this guard and dozens of veterans under the special conscription order of the Shaanxi Dusi, and thrown on horseback, and then got on the boat. Follow the Wei River to Xi'an, and then get on the boat and go to Luoyang City.
Finally, he entered Nanjing and was trained in Shanglin Yuan.
Four years ago, they all thought that these people would definitely be sent to the most difficult battlefield, and even his mother didn't expect him to come back alive. I just hope that I don't just send a curse to other people like in the castle, and if I die, I naturally hope that I will give a letter from above, and I know that there is one less person in the family.
Later, Baihu received documents from the Ministry of War many times.
Especially in that Mobei War, many soldiers in the fort were transferred to the north, even if they didn't go to the battlefield, they had to help transport supplies. At that time, there was still no news of him, and no one knew whether he participated in the Mobei War.
Baihu went to inquire, but there was only one reply, confidential maintenance, and it could not be checked.
After the Mobei War, it was another two years, and it had been more than four years since the initial person was sent away, and slowly the castle had forgotten the existence of this person.
But one day, the sentinels who patrolled the mountain heard the song, which was the song of the fort.
Looking at the past from a distance, there are four figures.
Two adults, a child, and a horse. The sturdy man pulling the horse was shirtless, carrying a huge burden on his shoulders, walking and singing all the way, when suddenly the man stopped and pulled his throat: "Mother, the third baby is back." ”
Bai Sanping!
A familiar and unfamiliar name popped into the sentry's mind, and one of the soldiers rushed towards him. Not only is the name familiar and unfamiliar, but the person seems to be the same person, but it looks so different. The hair was gone, only a short section, and there was a smile on his face, no longer the fierce face.
The only thing that remains the same, but the scars on his body one after another, seem to be more.
"Third uncle!" The young man shouted.
"Dog!" The sturdy man's tone became obviously excited, and he laughed heartily. The young man shouted behind him, "Come on, it's my third uncle who is back." My third uncle is back. ”
The soldiers patrolling the mountain were in a team of six, and they all rushed over, and two young men carried them, so that the sturdy man carried the burden alone. Bai Sanping threw the woman's burden to his nephew: "This is my nephew, my eldest brother's son." After speaking in Chinese, thinking that the woman might not understand, she patted her head and squeezed out a few words in simple Greek.
The woman understood, and smiled lightly.
The half-sized man wrapped his own burden and didn't let go, although the burden was snatched away by the strong man and thrown to others.
But the knife still didn't let go, even if he understood that this young man was his brother.
Some went back to report the news, and some carried things.
Bai Sanping touched his own head: "Dog, there is no way to do this hair, the sea is stormy, and it is troublesome to have long hair." So the brothers cut their hair, don't you know, this overseas ......" Bai Sanping said without a word, from Little Luzon to Malacca.
Talking about the might of those thousands of huge ships, talking about the treasures of the African coast, talking about the majesty of our Ming in the Mediterranean, and talking about the desperate fight with the Ottomans.
The only thing I didn't talk about was why this woman was determined to follow her.
Almost everyone in the fort came out, and one came back after a four-year absence and an unknown fate. The whole fort is a hundred households, but it is also a home.
"Boy, show your dad a knife technique!" Bai Sanping suddenly shouted at the child, and then threw a cloth bag into the air, and the half-grown child screamed and stuck the scabbard into the soil, and then drew the knife with both hands, and a cold light flashed out of the scabbard and slashed on the cloth bag.
Hundreds of small silver ingots were scattered on the ground under a single sword.
"Good knives!" This knife, everyone in the fort knows, is called Cutting Horses. On the battlefield, in the face of the Mongolian cavalry, the scabbard was inserted into the ground and the moment the scabbard was lent to the explosive force, and a person like Bai Sanping could split a horse in half with a horse.
No one went to pick up the silver from the ground, and many people praised the sword, and it was the man who was in the fort.
"Lao Baihu, my old Bai family has added a penny, write it down."
"Three babies...... you can do it!"
Bai Sanping grinned: "These silver, buy wine, buy meat, and dig a deep well." Babies, pick up the silver and enter the fort. ”
The women took the woman they had never seen before, with golden hair and blue eyes, but very beautiful, to tidy up her house, and when she came, she would have a place to stay. The woman was very happy, and kept a smile on her face, not because the castle was richer than the place where she once lived, but because it was like a home, and it had a warm feeling.
The men gathered around Bai Sanping to listen to him talk about his experience in the past four years.
"The old Bai family is beautiful this time, before I came back from Nanjing, I heard that Long Live Lord wanted to give the ancestor of the Bai family a god and be named the god of war. It is estimated that in a few more months, the old Bai family in Guanzhong will build a temple. But all the descendants of the Bai family, who have the money to contribute, have the strength to contribute, before coming back, I went to leave fifty taels of silver, and wrote down the names of all the Bai family members in our fort. ”
"Well, although it is said that the old Bai family in that Guanzhong is not short of this bit of silver, but the descendants of the Bai family should do their best and do a good job!"
There are elders praising it.
The Bai family in Guanzhong is naturally the Bai family of the white crane, even if it is remote and closed, I have also heard of the white crane.
"The alien woman?"
"That's my woman, who was saved when it was called Iz, and was a little bruised, but she didn't want to go after her. Later, the general was in charge, so he followed me. said that the family was dead, and the family was also occupied by the Ottomans, and the blonde princess of the Bai family didn't seem to be ready to fight back immediately, but to fight slowly. ”
The blonde princess of the Bai family is naturally Angela.
"Are you still leaving?" An old man asked, supposedly that if he came back, he might not leave again, and if he didn't leave, he would have to be assigned a room in the castle, and then he would have to give Du Si an official paperwork.
"Let's go!" Bai Sanping nodded solemnly: "Before I came back, I heard from the brothers in Fujian that now Daming encourages the birth of dolls, but there are still so many dolls, and there will definitely be not enough food in the future." So there will be more people going out on their side, and I won't have enough to eat in the fields, I'm ......"
After thinking about it for half a year, Bai Sanping didn't say a place name, only said: "Anyway, I still have more than 300 acres of land!" (To be continued......)
