1o-29 White-haired woman

"What's wrong with looking down on you? What kind of old birds are loaded with eggs by a group of recruits, is it a mule or a horse is drawn out for a walk, what do you drag when you just get off the boat, which military gate is marked? Do you understand the rules? Seeing the choking of the Western soldiers, a lieutenant immediately walked out of the crowd of red shirts and reprimanded.

Francis. Although Drake is the commander of the Foreign Legion, but because the level of the army itself is relatively low, it belongs to the level of the Imperial Army, so he can only swallow his anger and bow his head silently, the commanders of the Red Shirt Army continue to unscrupulously make fun of the green hats on the heads of the Western soldiers, although the Foreign Legion soldiers are from the "wild land" where Chinese civilization cannot be spread, but these soldiers still have shame, although I don't know why people make fun of themselves, but everyone is full of energy, and they must play at the level in the battle, Play with the momentum of the Foreign Legion.

The Foreign Legion was transferred just to serve as cannon fodder and reduce the casualties of the Red Shirts, of course, if there are soldiers with outstanding performance, Liu Ziguang will also be commended, promoted, and even promoted to the Red Shirts, because the Red Shirts have always had a tradition of using captive soldiers, and the initial stage of the Death Camp is the Wanguo Troop.

But the battle that the Western soldiers longed for did not come immediately, Liu Ziguang needed to digest the territory he occupied, and now the surrounding area of Tianjin has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been cut off, and the 6 roads from the capital to Shandong have also been cut off by the Ming army, and now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been cut into three major pieces by the Ming army, one is the white mountain and black water outside the pass, one is the lonely city of Beijing and the vast Yan Mountain behind him, and the Mongolian steppe, and another is Shanxi, Shandong, Beijing's order wants to convey to these two places, It is necessary to bypass Yanshan Mountain or Taihang Mountain, and take a very long mountain road to reach it, the government decree is basically cut off, and the transportation of materials is completely interrupted, and these three places can only fight on their own.

Since the enemy is already in the cage, there is no need to be so anxious to clean them up, taking advantage of the opportunity for the renovation of the city in the sky, Liu Ziguang lavished his subordinates in Tianjin, not only brought a large number of wine and meat from Shanghai, but also recruited hundreds of prostitutes from Nanjing to work in the army, Zhenwuhou in the fireworks Willow Lane name is not covered, since the last time to help the old prostitute win the lawsuit has become the protector of the Qinglou industry, each brothel has changed the original worship of Maitreya Buddha into the statue of Zhenwuhou.

This time, the Red Shirts organized the front-line labor corps, the Qinglou industry in the capital enthusiastically signed up, making money is secondary, serving the country is the main thing, the prostitutes on both sides of the Qinhuai River rarely have such a glorious task, they can dedicate a little bit to the imperial court, one by one excitedly or something, and they can also sit on a sea boat several stories high and drift across the sea, they are simply happy, chattering all the way, and when they arrive in Tianjin, they are all wilted, but it is better to recruit those troupes from the Central Plains to take 6 roads, and they are very energetic.

Tianjin City set up three big stages, day and night of the meeting, during the day sang five levels of six generals of the martial arts, at night sang eighteen touches, Wang Er's sister Sifu meat jokes, the soldiers gathered in the audience to listen happily, watched lively, from time to time loudly applauded, the broken silver casually thrown on the stage, the soldiers of the Red Shirt Army are generous, these troupes have earned a lot of money.

The generals have another high-end enjoyment, Liu Ziguang spent a lot of money to invite Dong Xiaowan, the top card of Qinhuai, to sing songs for the heroes, there were originally three major brands in the fireworks industry in Beijing, Liu Ru has married into a wealthy family, Chen Yuanyuan also married Wu Sangui, only Dong Xiaowan is outstanding, but it is also a semi-retired state, how many dignitaries and nobles are difficult to invite her to the church, but Zhenwu Hou came upside down with a word, which shows that Hou Ye's face is big and his means are clever.

Dong Xiaowan came all the way to Tianjin, originally thought that Liu Ziguang would meet in person, how do you know that people did not show up at all, which made Dong everyone very lost, since ancient times beauties love heroes, Dong everyone has already secretly promised Zhenwu Hou, but because of his low status, he can't climb the high branches, and has been depressed. Perform your whole body and sing for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Ziguang did not immediately meet Dong Xiaowan because he was busy with a big event, marching and fighting and arranging troops is Li Yan's business, what he is doing is related to ideological work, that is, writing a script, making up two jokes to stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of the soldiers, after a night of hard thinking, he finally wrote a touching script, the army is Qiu Ba, no one appreciates his works, Liu Ziguang then remembered Dong Xiaowan, sent someone to summon him.

This is the second meeting between Liu Ziguang and Dong Xiaowan, the last time they met was two years ago on the second floor of Gone with the Wind, at that time Liu Ziguang was just a yin and yang face of the nine pins, and now he is a powerful minister of the government and the opposition, this meeting is naturally very different from the last time, on the one hand is a high-ranking official of the court, on the other hand is a woman in the dust, the difference in status is as big as the difference between the abyss, but Liu Ziguang did not put on a stand at all, and after being simple and polite, he took out a paper full of words and asked Dong Xiaowan to watch.

Dong Xiaowan is called Dong is not a waste of fame, he is proficient in poetry and songs, and he is a great talent in the cultural circle, although Tang and Song poems and Yuan songs are Ming and Qing dynasties, but now talents are still popular to write tunes, that is, dramas, Dong Xiaowan is also very proficient in this set.

First took a rough look, only to see the paper full of clumsy brush words, this martial artist's words are ugly, I want to come to some of the inscriptions of the town of Wuhou The plaques are found to be ghostwritten, but the content of the story Dong Xiaowan did not look closely, but when he looked up, Liu Ziguang's earnest eyes were looking at her, Dong Xiaowan looked down again, well, the story is very strong, but the lyrics are vulgar, and they don't make sense, it's just a big vernacular, what kind of thing is this, compared to the "ancient road outside the long pavilion" he created 's farewell song is simply not a little bit worse.

As if he had seen through Dong Xiaowan's heart, Liu Ziguang smiled faintly and explained: "This is a song written by Ben Shuai to the soldiers, they are not those literati and ink writers, they like to chew words, they want to be easy to understand, as long as the meaning is expressed, of course, Ben Shuai is not good at this, so I also ask Dong everyone to polish one or two." ”

Dong Xiaowan suddenly realized, it turned out that people deliberately wrote it like this, and after reading it for the third time, this time it was completely different from the previous two times, it was just a word, and not a word could be changed! Dong Xiaowan put down the manuscript and bowed down: "Master Hou is talented, the little woman is convinced, there is really nothing to change." ”

Liu Ziguang laughed: "Then organize a drama troupe to start rehearsals, and ask Dong everyone to guide them personally." ”

Dong Xiaowan naturally happily promised that being able to help Liu Ziguang do things was her dream. Immediately returned to the next place with the manuscript, and then added the costumes of the characters according to the script, singing the lyrics and rhyme, and it was also a night of effort, and a new excerpt was released, and the play was called "The White-Haired Girl"

The white-haired girl is played by the Hebei Bangzi Opera Troupe, and the first drama team this year relies on real skills to eat, and a new book can be used quickly, not to mention that this book is a simplified version, and the lines are extremely simple and popular, basically you can remember it after listening to people two or three times.

That night, the white-haired girl performed publicly, the stage was set up in the center of Tianjin, thousands of people gathered to watch, and the local people also lay on the roof, and watched from a distance from the big tree to see how wonderful the book written by Hou Ye himself was.

The story was born in the Manchu occupation period, a poor family outside Tianjin, only the father and daughter depended on each other, when the father's hard work to the flag man to resist a year of life, the New Year can not even eat dumplings, can only buy a two-foot red head rope for the daughter, the Chinese New Year's Eve neighbor Da Chun brother to make up a little flour cabbage, wrapped a meal of vegetarian dumplings is about to eat, the housekeeper of the flag man came, forced the old man Yang Bailao to repay the debt, the usury of the interest roll, borrowed a tael of silver and now have to repay a white tael, or to take the girl --- the beautiful Xi'er to pay off the debt.

This drama is relatively novel, because it is very close to life, although the location of the play is in Tianjin, but it can completely represent the life of the Han people in the Qing occupation area, especially the soldiers of Shandong origin in the Red Shirt Army, all find their parents, sisters or neighbors and relatives from the play.

When I saw Yang Bailao take out a two-foot red head rope and tie it to his daughter, and a few poor dumplings were placed in the pot, some of the emotional people in the audience were already moistened, and they all thought of those poor years, and when the housekeeper of the old man of the flag man overturned the dumpling pot of the old Yang family with his family, injured Brother Da Chun, and snatched Xi'er, the audience was already a little indignant, but they could still restrain themselves. The young soldiers all put themselves into the role, feeling that they were Xi'er's childhood sweetheart, Brother Dachun, who was beaten and couldn't protect their beloved little sister next door, making them feel psychologically blocked.

The scenery changed, Xi'er was robbed to the flag man's house, and Yang Bailao had committed suicide by poisoning, at this time the audience's emotions began to be unstable, when they saw the obscene and obese flag man take off the horse coat and drag the ugly money rat tail pigtail to pounce on Chu Chu's poor Xi'er, finally someone couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly stood up, picked up the fire gun and aimed at the stage, while aiming and crying and scolding: "Kill you a dog!" It was too late to say that it was too late, and the small flag beside the soldier raised his hand and raised his firearm by three inches, and with a crisp sound, the bullet hit the eaves of the stage, knocking off a tile, and it was falling at the feet of the actor who played the flag man.

Xiaoqi shouted angrily: "What are you doing!" It's a congregation, you know no! ”

The one who shot was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, who was already full of tears and couldn't cry: "Master, the little girl was forced to death by Qinggou like this." ”

Xiaoqi was silent, the audience was silent, and the performance on the stage also stopped, Liu Ziguang, who was sitting in the VIP seat, saw that the fire was coming, and gave his subordinate Wen Getao a look to the subordinate standing in the crowd, Wen Getao immediately shouted hoarsely with a Jianghuai official voice: "Kill all the dogs!" Avenge your loved ones! Suddenly, the audience was thunderous, and countless people raised their arms and shouted: "Kill all the dogs!" Avenge your loved ones! The sound shook the sky, and even the warships on the canal outside Tianjin also sounded the whistle, and for a time the crowd was excited, and the public's anti-Qing enthusiasm was mobilized to the highest point.

Look at almost, Liu Ziguang signaled that he could end shouting slogans, the church will continue, and the plot behind is relatively simple, Xi'er escaped from the flag man's house, hid in the cave for several years, and became a white-haired girl because she couldn't eat salt, until the court soldiers led by Zhenwu Hou killed Jinan, and she was rescued, and Brother Da Chun had already put on a big red robe and became a member of the glorious red shirt army, leading his comrades to behead the flag man all over the house, and Xi'er finally formed a good relationship. Seeing this scene, the audience shed tears of excitement together, applauded for a long time, and slapped red regardless of it.

After the play was sung, the emotions of the masses could not be calmed for a long time, and Wen Getao jumped out again to guide everyone's thinking: "Xi'er's great feud has been cleared up, who do you want to thank for it?" ”

The commanders and fighters of the Red Shirt Army and the people of Tianjin City shouted together: "Thank you Zhenwuhou!" ”

Wen Getao continued to shout: "Xi'er's revenge has been avenged, but there are still thousands of fathers and villagers who have not avenged, and Qinggou is still entrenched in Beijing, what should we do?" ”

A young man jumped out of the crowd, his face flushed, and he waved his fist and roared: "Break into the city of Beijing and kill all the dogs!" Then tens of thousands of people shouted together: "Enter the city of Beijing, kill all the dogs!" The patriotic enthusiasm of the soldiers and civilians was sublimated in the slogans, and the love for Zhenwuhou was further enhanced.

Listening to the slogan and looking at the excited crowd, Liu Ziguang secretly sighed: It's a pity that Lao Tzu is not a political commissar. However, this also reminded him that it is time to set up political work cadres in the army, otherwise it is not a long-term solution to maintain morale by relying on high military salaries, after all, money cannot buy loyalty.

Liu Ziguang fell into thought, and Dong Xiaowan's eyes at the other end of the stage had another feeling: This man is simply too talented! Although the music he wrote was straightforward, it could bring such a big sensation, I don't know how many times stronger than those so-called literati, thinking of the past when he often got together with those sour literati in the past, Dong Xiaowan felt blushing, compared to Liu Ziguang, he was really humble.
