The contradiction between the two factions of the Anxi Tang army and the warriors finally broke out completely in the incident of Zheng Ci's young son.
At that time, Guo Hu, the protector of Anxi, called Zheng Yang over to blame, Guo Hu was not only the supreme leader of the Tang Army in Anxi, his position in the army was extremely respectful, and he was Zheng Yang's father, he thought that no matter what he said, Zheng Yang could only accept, so he spoke mercilessly!
Unexpectedly, a few years have passed, with the change of shape, even if the goods colonization faction only maintains superficial respect for Guo Hu and others, in fact, they look down on these "reckless men" who can only spend money and not make money, and they usually have nothing to do, at this time, it involves the lives of brothers and the fundamental interests of the goods colonization faction, and then you are welcome, Zheng Yang actually said on the spot: "Uncle Guo, don't talk to me in such a tone, who do you think you are?" Do you really think that you are still the protector of Anxi! Hmph, in fact, you yourself understand very well, in the eyes of the Great Food and Tubo people, the Anxi Tang Army is just a group of robbers, and you are also a cottage master! Tell me about the law! ”
These words actually crossed time and space and came out of Guo Shidao's mouth, and when Zhang Mai heard it, Zhang Mai couldn't help but be stunned. After so many generations, these words have been passed down by word of mouth, and you can imagine how badly Zheng Yang's words hurt Guo Hu! That's why I will never forget it, and then send it to my children and grandchildren!
The Tang Army of Anxi has long lost its territory, and the only thing that can make the remnants support it is the faith in their hearts, and Zheng Yang's words have obviously denied this belief in his heart. Therefore, after Zhang Mai heard this, he knew in his heart that the shape of the Tang Army of Talas at that time was out of control.
At that time, Guo Hugong was silent after hearing this, and let Zhengyang leave, but he himself didn't speak for a whole day and night, didn't even eat, just was in a daze. The children and grandchildren of the Guo, Yang, and An families outside also made a fuss when they heard this, and the more involved the matter became, the more chaotic it became. So he ...... "Guo Shidao wanted to skip this matter again, but Zhang Mai didn't let him go, and interjected to ask what the second thing was."
"This ......" Guo Shidao hesitated for a while before he said: "When the Cargo Colony Mansion began to operate, Zheng Cigong ...... He concealed the meeting of the army tent in the capital and sold the heavenly demon incense. ”
"Heavenly Demon Incense?" Zhang Mai listened to it and felt that the name of this thing was a bit mysterious.
Guo Shidao said: "Heavenly Demon Incense is an illusion medicine, which is made from poppies......"
He also had to explain, Zhang Mai had already exclaimed: "Poppy? Yes! They sell drugs! ”
Guo Shi said in his heart: "The envoy has seen and heard a lot, and he will know what it is as soon as he hears it." He continued: "Although the poppy can be used as a medicine, but it is made into a heavenly demon incense and sold to harm people, it is quite a disgraceful thing, after this matter is pierced, the two sides are even more troublesome, and the families held a meeting of the capital to protect the army overnight, thinking that the Zheng family has a loss, if this matter spreads, it will definitely make the Anxi Tang army leave a stigma, and the Zheng family will be dismissed from a position, and all the property of all those who have participated in this matter will be confiscated, and they will be dismissed from their posts and punished. ”
Zhang Mai was a little stunned when he heard this, he secretly figured it out, and felt that the Zheng family used drug trafficking to accumulate military funds, although it could not be said that this matter was above board and could be plotted for the country, this kind of means could not be said to be unforgivable, and it could even be said that it was for the country, and the anti-Zheng family's camp made such a severe punishment decision, and its intentions could no longer be said to be out of justice.
Things have developed to this point, and the two sides have their own rights and wrongs, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong.
At that time, Zheng Yang, the head of the Zheng family, was angry when he saw that the matter was exposed, and Zheng Cigong was heartbroken, but he was also ready to accept punishment, but the children of the Zheng family and the merchants who followed him were all strongly opposed, and by this time, the situation was out of control! It just so happened that the military and political situation here had changed again, a cavalry of 20,000 people came from the side of the Broken Leaf River and the Yili River, and there were tens of thousands of troops from the Kangju City (Samarkand), and the Tang army was less than a thousand, and they were caught in it. The Zheng family and the people of the Cargo Colony Mansion refused to follow, and the Tang army split for the second time. After coming to the north bank of the Broken Leaf River, we set up a camp and opened up farmland, the environment on the side of the new Broken Leaf City was more difficult than that of Talas, plus two splits, the already weakened Anxi Tang Army was greatly injured, so far in this situation, my Guo and Yang families regretted not being able to endure each other for the country at that time, but more than ten years later, the Zheng family suddenly sent people through the desert and found our camp in the north of the Broken Leaf River. ”
"What are they doing here?"
Guo Shidao said: "It turns out that after we went north, Zheng Cigong soon fell ill and died, and the merchants of the Cargo Colony Mansion lost the support of the warriors, so they became a group of merchants who fell with the wind. The people of the Cargo Colony Mansion originally thought that after going to Anxi Dadu to protect this burden, they would not have to pay seventy percent of their profits every year, and their income would inevitably increase by three times, but after we left, their business would not be good. The Zheng family lost the support of the Guo and Yang families, and gradually became unable to control other businessmen, and over time, everyone did their own business and became a plate of loose sand. I heard that after the Heavenly Fang Sect entered, many people were even forced to change their Han surnames, and even burned the god card! Zheng Yang, the head of the Zheng family, was getting old and remorseful about what happened back then, so he finally sent someone through the desert and spent a few years to find us. ”
Zhang Mai said in his heart: "Zheng Yang will change his attitude and take the initiative to contact Guo and Yang, it must be a painful experience, but at this point, unless there are new big variables, the situation is irreparable." ”
Listening to Guo Shidao continue: "At that time, our situation was several times bleaker than the situation when you entered the New Broken Leaf City. Zheng Yang was also very uneasy when he heard about our situation, and he said to the envoy of the Guo family's return visit: "My Zheng family made a fortune, and at the beginning it relied on the military funds of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. So he decided to give us up as an atonement for our sins. At this time, they have integrated into the local area and made a big business, because the countries of the Western Regions do not want to see our Anxi Tang army, and we refuse to give up the Tang Dynasty, although the Zheng family has the heart to reconcile with us, but after all, they dare not do anything desperate, for fear of causing trouble, so they made an appointment with us: we want us not to take a step beyond the lamp, so as not to make something happen and involve them; And they provided us with medicines, steel, books, stallions, and so on, and every two years they delivered them to this lamp valley. ”
When Zhang Mai heard this, he already had a certain grasp of the Zheng family's style of acting, and thought: "This family is a typical businessman's style, it is more selfish to say that it is ugly, but selfishness is human nature, and it is understandable, not to mention that they can continue to help New Broken Leaf City for decades, with this heart, it is not easy." ”
"The head of the Zheng family's generation is called Wanda, he is older than me, I met him in Dengxia Valley twenty years ago, these years they have been abiding by the legacy of their ancestors, every two years they will transport supplies to Dengxia Valley, our side also abides by the promise, try not to cross the south of Dengxia Valley. However, since Satuq Bogra seized Talas from the Samanid Empire a few years ago, we have severed our ties with the Zheng family. We were a little worried about them, but we never got any definite information. ”
The reason why the Tang army passed through the Broken Leaf Desert was not even known to Guo Luo before this long talk, and Yang Yi did not dare to speak, and only after Guo Shidao finished telling these words did he hummed: "In this way, the Zheng family is a group of cowards, even if we find them, I am afraid that they will not be able to help us anything." ”
Guo Shidao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said angrily: "What are you talking about! ”
Yang Yi didn't know why he was suddenly so angry, startled, Guo Shidao couldn't help but breathe, and said to Guo Luo and Yang Yi: "I didn't let you know these stories before, because you were young, and now I sue you for this, but I don't want you to blame the Zheng family, because what happened back then, both of us were at fault!" The purpose of suing you is to avoid making such mistakes in the future, not to repeat the mistakes of the past! It's easy to go into battle and kill the enemy, because the enemy and the enemy are clear; It is difficult to forbear each other for the country, because this word forbearance is to cut the heart with a knife. After listening to this past, if you feel ashamed of the ancestors of my Guo and Yang families, then you can wake up in the future, if you only focus on the mistakes of the Zheng family, then you will have to make the same mistakes as our ancestors in the future! ”
Yang Yi has always been very arrogant, but when he heard this, he stood up solemnly, bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
Zhang Mai stared at Guo Shidao, he knew from Tang Renxiao and others that Guo Shidao was actually only in his fifties, but at this moment, his hair was the same as Zheng Ci back then, he had not yet aged but was white, which showed how worried he had been over the years. Zhang Mai suddenly remembered what Guo Shidao said before the First Battle of Containment Dan and on the eve of Guo Shidao himself going to be a hostage, and remembered his heart-wrenching confession, if it weren't for the deep remorse for what happened to his ancestors back then, I was afraid that Guo Shidao would not have been able to make the decision to sacrifice by himself in the first place! Zhang Mai suddenly felt it and blurted out: "Our team will definitely be able to succeed in the future!" ”
When he said this, there was no beginning or end, and the people in the room were stunned, Zhang Mai said: "I have never heard of any force or nation that can prosper for a long time without making mistakes." Our descendants of the Han family have not made mistakes, but why can they live longer than the Hu people? Because in addition to not forgetting the glory and victory of Jì, we also do not forget the suffering and defeat of Jì, and even have to record it for our descendants - perhaps it is these that give us the ability to raise our heads and fight again after defeat! Let's conquer the suffering and continue the glory! ”
"Since we have not only experienced the attack, killing, encirclement and suppression of Huma's iron cavalry, but also experienced the tempering after we made a big mistake. If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have great blessings in the future! The experience of our predecessors, whether they succeed or fail, will be our greatest asset. Although we only have a few thousand soldiers and horses now, as long as we keep in mind the mistakes made by our ancestors and unite as one, as long as a few thousand people can have one heart, they will become an invincible force! No matter how large the number and power of the Hu people are, they will definitely be defeated one by one! ”
He suddenly remembered that before he came to this era, he saw on TV an ancient sentence said by an important minister of the empire who was worried about the country and the people after a big defeat, and for some reason he remembered it at the time, and then blurted out, saying: "Maybe this is called, Yin Worry Qisheng, how difficult it is to prosper the country!" ”
Guo Luoyang Yi said in unison: "What a sorrowful enlightenment, how difficult it is to prosper the country!" Brother Mai is right! We will definitely succeed! "―――――――――――――――――――――――――― please don't forget to vote ^_^
