Chapter 177: Bad News
"I heard that there is going to be a war, but I don't know what happened to Erniu." The queen mother didn't eat much, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said worriedly.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, last time Erniu asked someone to bring a message, saying that he joined some bandit army, but it was amazing, not only won a hundred battles, but also paid three times the salary, weapons and food are the best." The young woman said softly, with a deep pride between her words.
"It is a natural thing to be a soldier to eat food and fight, I think the old man also went to the battlefield and killed a Turk!" Wang Laoshi used to be a government soldier and kept saying that he had killed the Turks, but no one believed him.
At this moment, Wang Laoshi was also worried in his heart, but he just covered it up in an impatient tone.
"It's okay, I heard when I entered the city yesterday that this time the imperial court won the battle and killed a lot of rebels and Turks." Wang honestly said indifferently.
The king's wife and the young woman were no longer silent, but they also knew in their hearts that even if they won a battle, someone would die.
After the family had eaten, the royal wife took over the grandson, and the young woman began to silently clean up the dishes and chopsticks. After a while, there will be work in the field, and as a government soldier, a certain field will be allocated to start the daily life of the farmer.
Wangjia Village belongs to Qingxi Town.
At this moment, in Qingxi Town, from the newly built brick road, a black four-wheeled carriage came, and a team of cavalry guarded by the side.
There are a total of ten cavalry in this team, all in black clothes and black armor, with a solemn face, and a solemn and murderous atmosphere, which makes people feel unapproachable.
The townspeople of Qingxi Town avoided it from afar, and when the soldiers walked by, they followed behind and watched. But no one dared to come near.
Among the cavalry, a black-clothed and black-armored cavalryman led by him came to Lizheng's house and directly revealed his identity.
"East Palace Guard!" Li Zheng Wang Ding was shocked.
"What does the general command?" Wang Ding stood up restrainedly, Qingxi Town was just a small place, and he didn't know how the East Palace guards could arrive.
"I'm going to Wangjia Village, and I'll ask Li Zheng to lead the way!" The black-armored soldier led by him said in a cold tone.
But Li Zheng Wang Ding did not have the slightest anger, and immediately put down the work in his hand and led the way himself.
There is no brick road from Qingxi Town to Wangjia Village. The four-wheeled carriage could not pass. Five black-armored soldiers stayed behind to guard the carriage, and five black-armored soldiers followed Wang Ding.
Wang Ding borrowed a batch of fast horses from the rich families in the town and went to Wangjia Village with the black knights.
"Dare to ask the general's name!" Wang Ding asked.
Wang Ding was very enthusiastic and cooperative. The black soldiers led by him were also embarrassed to keep a straight face.
"In the lower Jiaoqingke. He was an ordinary soldier. I can't afford to be a general. The leader of the black family soldier said.
Li Zheng Wang Ding did not change his attitude because of Jiao Qingke's words, and said respectfully as always: "Your Excellency is a talent, and you will definitely be able to pay homage to the marquis in the future." ”
Wangjia Village is not far from Qingxi Town. In the casual chatting between Wang Ding and Jiao Qingke, Wangjiacun was already close at hand.
"Ahead is Wangjia Village!" Wang Ding pointed to the village in front of him and said.
Jiao Qingke nodded, and behind him, a black-armored soldier's hands trembled involuntarily, and finally arrived, and they finally escorted the robe home.
"I don't know if the general is looking for the family in Wangjia Village?" Li Zheng Wang Ding asked.
"Wang Erniu, his father Wang is honest." Jiao Qingke said simply.
Wang Ding thought for a while, and then remembered, "Please here!" ”
Wang Ding led Jiao Qingke and the others towards the east end of the village.
The villagers of Wangjia Village are simple, and when they see outsiders coming, they have watched one after another.
Five black-armored soldiers walked through Wangjiazhuang, and it had not been many years since the soldiers came to the village.
Many children saw the full armor of the soldiers, followed with curiosity and envy.
After a while, behind the black-armored soldiers, there were many villagers following.
Wangjia Village is not big, and it will arrive at the east end of the village after a while.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Wang Ding stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Is Mr. Wang at home?" Rizheng asked loudly.
"Who!" Wang Laoshi's voice came from the courtyard.
"It's me! Wang Ding! Li Zheng said loudly.
"It turned out to be Lord Satoma!" Wang Laoshi opened the door and couldn't help but smile humbly when he saw Li Zheng coming.
But when Wang Laoshi saw the black-armored soldier behind Li Zheng, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart couldn't help but tremble,
Because his son Wang Erniu is a soldier, and his son Wang Erniu is not seen here.
"You ......!" Wang Laoshi seemed to realize something, and his voice trembled a little.
The black-armored cavalry was silent for a while! No one answered.
Wang Ding also sensed something, and along the way he didn't ask a word about the purpose of these soldiers' coming.
At this moment, he seemed to understand a little, they came to Wang Laoshi's house, and Wang Erniu's enlistment procedures were still handled by her.
"Please mourn the old man." Jiao Qingke couldn't bear to say.
"Ahh
The king honestly screamed! His body shook for a while, and Wang Ding hurriedly stepped forward to help.
After a long time, Wang Laoshi relieved himself and said sadly: "Erniu! ”
Jiao Qingke turned around, took a black ash altar from the hands of a black-armored soldier, and solemnly handed it over to Wang Laoshi's hands.
Stroking the cold ash altar, Wang Laoshi's body trembled.
"Erniu, you're home!"
Wang Laoshi's tears were rampant.
At this time, the king's wife heard the news and immediately rushed out, and cried bitterly.
All the villagers were sad in their hearts, and they didn't expect Erniu to die in battle.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the Wang family.
By the courtyard gate, Wang Erniu's wife was holding her young son, crying incessantly.
"Didn't you win the battle?" Wang honestly said in disbelief.
Jiao Qingke didn't dare to look directly into Wang Laoshi's eyes, and said: "Wang Erniu attacked the Turkic cavalry head-on, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and died with the enemy. ”
Wang Laoshi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "He died fighting the Turks?" ”
Jiao Qingke nodded: "Wang Erniu killed five Turkic cavalrymen, and finally died heroically."
"Good! It is worthy of my king's honest species. Born to be a hero to fight the Turks. Wang Laoshi said excitedly.
At the same time, he said loudly to his wife and daughter-in-law: "Don't cry anymore, Erniu killed the Turks, and in order to protect his family and defend the country, he is the biggest hero in the world." ”
The wife and daughter-in-law cried even more sadly when they heard this, for them, they didn't want Wang Erniu to be a hero, but hoped that he could return home healthy and healthy.
Jiao Qingke also burst into tears, handed over a death notice, handed it to Wang Laoshi's hand, and said: "This is the death notice of the martyr Wang Erniu personally signed by His Royal Highness the King. Please keep it away. ”
"Notice of Death!"
Wang was honestly puzzled. He had never heard of any death notices,
Li Zheng Wang Ding's heart moved, and he couldn't help but step forward and see the blood-red seal. I couldn't help but lose my voice and said: "Acting for the king's seal!" It was really issued by His Royal Highness the Acting King himself. ”
"Wow!"
The villagers of Wangjia Village were in an uproar. They all looked at Wang Laoshi's family with a kind of envy. It's a great honor.
Who His Royal Highness is the acting king, no one in the entire Jingzhao County knows who doesn't know. That is the living bodhisattva of countless people in the entire Jingzhao County, and the benevolent king that everyone admires. The entire Guanzhong region can have such a stable and prosperous life, all of which depend on the protection of His Royal Highness the Acting King.
"Is this really issued by His Royal Highness the Acting King himself?" Wang honestly asked suspiciously.
He could not read, nor did he know what was on the death notice.
Jiao Qingke, the rest of the soldiers, and Wang Ding immediately nodded.
Lizheng Wang Ding stepped forward, solemnly took the death notice from Wang Laoshi's hand, carefully browsed it, and after seeking the unification of Teacher Wang, he read aloud:
"Dear Families,
Today, on behalf of Wang Yang Yu, I would like to have a very sad heart, and I have asked people to come to convey to you a sad news, so that Lang (husband) Wang Erniu fought bravely to kill the enemy in the battle of Yan'an, and was generous and righteous.
Wang Erniu was loyal to the country, fought bravely, and fought to the last breath in order to protect his family and defend the country, and died with the enemy.
Its behavior touches the world, its voice and smile will always remain in our hearts, its heroic deeds will be passed down for thousands of years, its soul will be immortal, and the world will be shocked.
On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of Daxing City and the royal family of Dasui, I would like to express my deepest condolences to you and hope that you will mourn.
Sincerely
salute
Daxing stayed behind Yang Yu.
April 2, 12th year of the Great Cause. ”
Lizheng Wang Ding read the death notice word for word, and Wang Laoshi's family immediately stopped crying.
But this time it's not all pain, it's also mixed with all kinds of joy and pride. His family's Erniu is good, he died in battle against the Turks, and he was approved by His Royal Highness the Acting King to personally issue a death notice.
There is endless pain in it, but there is also endless glory.
"Erniu Niang, I can't help crying, Erniu is a big hero now, His Royal Highness the Acting King personally wrote a death notice to your Erniu, and Erniu has not lived in vain in this life." An aunt stepped forward to support Wang Erniu's mother and persuaded.
Other villagers also convived.
"This is Wang Erniu's pension of 300 yuan!" Jiao Qingke handed over a folded piece of paper.
"Three hundred!" The villagers exclaimed.
This is a huge amount of money for an ordinary farmer, and an adult laborer working in the disaster relief department is only about the same amount of money a month.
Three hundred, which is equal to the salary of an adult laborer for thirty years, all the villagers couldn't help but exclaim, and said: "Acting for Wang Renyi." ”
Wang honestly took it suspiciously, and looked at the piece of paper in his hand puzzled, could this be three hundred times?
Li Zheng seemed to know Wang's doubts, and said, "This is the passbook of the Imperial Bank." When you find the Imperial Bank in Wugong County, you can get the money. ”
After all, Rizheng has seen the world and knows the passbook of the Imperial Bank.
With Lizheng's assurance, Wang Laoshi believed it.
"In addition, His Royal Highness also ordered that Wang Erniu's 100 acres of land as a government soldier will be exempted from taxes for a hundred years, and Wang Erniu's children should be taken care of by the local government before they are minors." Jiao Qingke said.
"That's for sure." Wang Ding hurriedly said: "Erniu is now the big hero of our Wangjia Village, and Wangjia Village will not treat the hero's family members badly." ”
"His Royal Highness the Acting King is benevolent!" The villagers praised one after another. (To be continued......)
