12-58 Wild species
This is an urgent telegram from Yuan Chonghuan, taken this morning, asking him to quickly transfer troops south and block the front line of Tongguan.
The telegram is very short, it is these few words, but the words are thousands, so that Yuan Chengzhi is breathless, his father's personality he knows very well, he is definitely arrogant, he will not bow to others unless he has to, let alone his son, and now he suddenly comes to report for help, which can only explain one problem, that is, the fiasco of ---- Western Front!
It stands to reason that the transfer of troops must be approved by the imperial court, the cabinet drafts, the emperor approves the red, and the military department can act, and the private transfer of troops is equivalent to rebellion, but the system has almost collapsed over the years, especially in the northern provinces, it is simply a warlord separation, and private transfer is not a big deal.
More importantly, Yuan Chengzhi understands that his father is a face-saving person, and he has never reported good news or bad news to the court, and he has nothing to do with himself, this time I am afraid that this is the case, Gansu has fallen, and Shaanxi will not be able to keep it, because he is afraid that the Western Xia army will enter Henan, and at that time the paper will not be able to contain the fire, so he will first bypass those complicated official document procedures, let his son send troops to help, and stabilize the situation first.
It's a big matter, and it's always not good if outsiders know about it, so Yuan Chengzhi asked the general, and someone saw it, and the general hurriedly said: "Except for the people in the translation room, there is only a small one who glanced at it, well, the maid Chunxiang seems to have come in." β
"It's all dealt with, if you don't leak any traces, you can do it." After Yuan Chengzhi finished speaking, he hid the telegram in his arms and went out to drink again.
After the banquet, Yuan Chengzhi left several of his father's old subordinates, such as Zu Dashou, Man Gui, He Kegang, and Zhao Shujiao, and told them that he would send troops and horses south to carry out secret missions, and the security of the north would be handed over to them.
What Yuan Chengzhi said was what he said, and others naturally did not dare to question it, but it was a question of how many troops to be transferred south, because everyone was afraid that Zamuhe from the north would come and Li Yan from Goryeo would make a comeback.
Yuan Chengzhi said: "As long as you stick to Gubeikou, Zhangjiakou, Shanhaiguan, and Dagukou Fort, no matter who the enemy attacks, it is not enough to worry, Shanxi can protect itself, and it will not take the initiative to attack at all, so you can rest assured, Hebei's soldiers and horses, I will only take 80,000 and leave you with enough troops, so be it." β
Everyone complained bitterly, the Hebei army, there are only 100,000 people who can fight, the young marshal lion opened his mouth and took away 80,000, and the remaining 20,000 people are enough for anyone to fight, but no one dares to talk much, so they can only wait for Yuan Chengzhi to leave, and quickly grab some masters from the people to fill the vacancy.
Nanjing, the governor of Shaanxi military affairs Wu Sangui's house is putting wine, this is the full moon wine of Wu Yingxiong, the third generation of the Wu family's male Ding Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong is the crystallization of Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan's love, and the first son, Chen Yuanyuan also gave birth to a daughter named Wu Ke, who is three years old this year.

But looking at his son who has just completed the moon, Wu Sangui can't be happy, although Wu Sangui is a martial artist, but his heart is as careful as this, the birth of his son Wu Yingxiong, it has been eleven months since he last went home to visit relatives, people say that she is pregnant in October, how can Chen Yuanyuan be more than others for a month, she is very good at justifying herself, put out a lot of truths, invited several experienced stable women, and told Wu Sangui, let alone being pregnant in November, it is not uncommon to give birth to a child in 20 months, the more you can become an atmospheric child, The later the mother's birth, this is a blessing.
Having said that, Wu Sangui still can't let go, this child is really handsome, with a pair of big dark eyes, a soft black head, only a month old, he has an indescribable elegant and melancholy temperament, Junxiu is handsome, but he is not like himself at all, nor like Chen Yuanyuan, this matter is so troublesome, the knots in his heart are always untied.
There are many guests who come to eat and drink, Wu Sangui is a pillar of the country, who in the court does not give face, and Chen Yuanyuan is also very famous in the social circles of the capital, everyone is beautiful, the noble lady knows a lot, and the guests gather for a while, and more than half of them are Wu Sangui does not know.
But the appearance of a guest made Wu Sangui's heart sink, with a square scarf on his head at will, uninhibited black in front of him, from time to time a chic shake of his head, and threw the tips that covered his eyes, it was really indescribably elegant, unexplained melancholy, this person was too familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, after racking his brains, Wu Sangui finally came up with it, and suddenly thundered, it turned out that this guest was quite similar to his son Wu Yingxiong!
Wu Sangui hurriedly inquired who the visitor was, and after checking the gift list, he told him that this was a rookie in the recent Beijing officialdom, the pen of the Ming Dynasty, the etiquette member Wailang took the risk of stiffness, and the court's passionate rhetoric and loud rebellious rebellious essays were all written by this brother, and the backstage of the adult was very tough, and he was the protΓ©gΓ© of Hou Sui in the current cabinet, and Hou Sui was a firm ally of Wei Zhongxian.
It turned out to be him, one of the four sons of Jiangnan, who finally surfaced after many years of silence, this person Wu Sangui knew, five years ago when Wu Sangui and Liu Ziguang were drinking flower wine on the Qinhuai River, they rescued Chen Yuanyuan from the bully Xue Pan, at that time Chen Yuanyuan was preparing to elope with Mao Bi Stiff, and later Chen Yuanyuan married Wu Sangui, Hou Fangyu of the four sons of Jiangnan was overturned by Liu Ziguang, and he returned to his hometown in Suzhou with a disgraced face, but he didn't expect to come back after many years, and he also got in touch with his old lover, gave birth to the wild species Wu Yingxiong.
"Adulterer, adulteress! There is no one in the Wu family to deceive me! Wu Sangui was furious, but the calm temperament cultivated by years of conquest made him not explode on the spot, but watched coldly, the mother-in-law took Xiao Yingxiong out for everyone to see, and the guests praised the child's beauty, only the stiff eyes were different from others, full of pity and satisfaction, that kind of look Wu Sangui knew very well, only his father's eyes would be so.
Wu Sangui suddenly separated everyone, snatched the swaddling clothes from his mother-in-law, and shouted: "This son is not a descendant of the Wu family, why should he stay in the world and be ugly!" Then he threw the child headfirst to the ground, and suddenly his head broke and his brain flowed all over the ground, and the poor doll, who had just reached the full moon, paid the price for the sins of his biological parents.
The audience was shocked, no one made a sound, and after a while, the first person to react was Mao Bi stiff, his eyes were full of tears, and he forcibly asked Wu Sangui with grief and indignation: "What is the crime of the child!" What is it possible for you to come to me! β
Wu Sangui shouted: "Dog thief, do you think I will let you go? As he spoke, he pounced on it, and did not bring a knife to the wedding banquet at home, so he took a blue and white porcelain vase next to him and smashed it on Mao Bi's head.
Blood flowed out from under the soft black, blurred his eyes, Mao Bi stiff shook twice and fell next to his own son, Wu Sangui picked up a rosewood chair and was about to smash it, but suddenly a figure flashed, and Chen Yuanyuan, whose head was scattered, pounced on Mao Bi Stiff, his face was pale, and said: "If you want to kill, kill me first, and kill our family." β
You family! What about me, who am I? After I am a dignified general, young and handsome, with great military achievements, what point of character and family background am sorry for you Chen Yuanyuan, you are just a woman in a green building, and you are not a complete body, have I Wu Sangui ever had a complaint? It's not that I resisted the pressure and married you as the wife of the main house. Over the years, I have been fighting outside, staining my robes with blood, coming and going in the wind and rain, for what, not to make people look down on you, a lady who was born as a prostitute, but unfortunately all this, only in exchange for you stealing people to raise a man, not only do you not repent, but also threaten me with righteous words, what is wrong with this world!
These are just Wu Sangui's inner monologues, he is no longer in the mood to say anything, looking at Chen Yuanyuan's beautiful big eyes, the warmth of the past comes to mind, Wu Sangui closed his eyes, a tear flowed, the man did not flick his tears, just because he did not reach the sad place, this time Wu Sangui was really sad.
The hard Huanghuali chair smashed down with the sound of the wind, rubbing Chen Yuanyuan's scalp and falling to the ground next to him, smashing the floor tiles, Wu Sangui turned around: "You go!" I don't want to see you again! β
Chen Yuanyuan, who was weak after giving birth, picked up the bloody stiffness, and the two picked up the child's corpse, picked it up with a small bag, and supported each other step by step out of Wu's mansion.
The guests were stunned and stared at this scene, silent, this big drama is really exciting, even the storyteller can't make it up, watching the two disappear at the door, Wu Sangui looked up to the sky and was silent, and the guests didn't dare to say much, they left one after another, no need to wait for tomorrow, this explosive news will spread in the capital and even Jiangnan.
In the suburbs, drizzling, Mao Bi and Chen Yuanyuan, with gauze wrapped around their heads, snuggled up to a small tomb in front of them, with incense candles and some toys and pastries in front of the tomb. Looking at his son's tomb, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help whimpering again, held back his tears, and said in a low voice: "Our child can't be called Wu Yingxiong, he must have his own name, I took one for the child, it's called Fengyun ruffian, what do you think?" β
Chen Yuanyuan nodded with sobs and said, "Okay, our baby will be called Fengyun ruffian." β
The rain is getting more urgent. Under an oil-paper umbrella, the two snuggled even closer.
