The night of the Chinese New Year's Eve in the fourth year of Jianxing was a night that could not be colder. The capital is dripping into ice, and the north is even more frosty, and the rebels and the imperial army have been fighting for nearly a month, for no other reason, everyone wants to celebrate the New Year. From the first year of Jianxing to the present, I am also tired.

In Suzhou, an important city in the north, a few remaining rebel soldiers leaned crookedly on the head of the city wall, looking at the continuous enemy campfire in the distance weakly, and whispered: "It's been more than half a year, and I don't know how long it will be. ”

"Didn't you listen to the general? As long as we hold this city and wait for reinforcements to arrive, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory. If Suzhou falls, the north will be over, and they dare not come to the rescue. ”

"Can you hold it?"

"If you can hold it, you can survive it in the summer, and it's even more okay in the winter, this wall is watered, and it's harder than iron and stone, who ****** be able to attack it? Their stepping arrow can only be used in ordinary times, and this kind of weather is not in line at all. ”

Everyone laughed, put their hands around their mouths, and shouted in the direction of the imperial army in the distance: "Yu Wenchu! If you have the ability, you kid will come to attack the city, otherwise you will be a bad seed! ”

They could not see that there was a pair of eyes staring at them coldly under the city walls, he was scrawny, his beautifully shaped eyes were wrinkled from the weather, his beard and eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with frost, his legs were inconvenient, he could only ride on a horse with a special saddle, he was burdened with heavy responsibilities and shames, and he had endured many hardships along the way.

But this night will eventually become the night that will go down in history, will finally wash away all the shame and unwillingness on his body, and will make his relatives and friends in distant places proud of him. Fu Mingzhao faced the biting cold wind, pointed to the south gate of Suzhou in front of him, and waved his arm hard.

Before leaving, he said to these brothers who had been with him day and night, and who had fellowship with their lives: "Brothers, we have to die and go through hardships to enter here, and as long as we open this gate, we can put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and let us return to our hometown as soon as possible." Tonight, this is the moment, the time has come to sacrifice one's life for the country! ”

Yes, it was at this moment that the imperial army had been waiting outside Suzhou for too long, and he would eventually break this deadlock. After tonight, there will be no Suzhou.

The bang sounded three times, and Yu Wenchu, who was sitting alone in the tent, suddenly raised his head, and he had a strange feeling of uneasiness in his heart: "There is no news yet?" ”

Zhang Huan rushed out, listening carefully, there was a terrifying explosion that pierced the cold wind, and a bright and huge flower exploded in the night. He shouted: "General Fu has succeeded!" General Fu has succeeded! ”

Yu Wenchu climbed to the top of the watchtower and looked at Suzhou City, where there was already a sea of fire, the sound of artillery continued, he couldn't hear the shouts of killing, but he could imagine what kind of scene it would be there. The Northern Army is fierce and hungry wolves, and one can resist it if it is in a hurry, although it is unprepared to attack it, and there is gunpowder to help, but it really cannot be underestimated.

Three days later, Yu Wenchu led the soldiers to walk through the corpses all over the ground and climbed the remnants of the wall of Suzhou City. He briefly glanced in the direction of the capital, smiled and waved to the soldiers standing below, and then descended the city wall, hurrying through the ruins.

Yu Wenchu finally saw Fu Mingzhao, who was lying quietly on the ground with his back to the sky, surrounded by his brother Paoze, who lived and died with him, and the rebel soldiers who were killed by them. He closed his eyes tightly, smiled and put his hands on his chest, his face calm and relaxed.

30,000 lives were lost because of his dereliction of duty, and he knew that he could not bring these people back to life even if he died, but he could let more people live because of him. He could finally go to the dead and his old father in peace and ease, and finally to enjoy the worship and incense of his children.

Yu Wenchu knelt down on one knee and carefully wiped the blood and dust off Fu Mingzhao's face. Zhang Huan wanted to come up and do this for him, he motioned for Zhang Huan to retreat, and said softly: "I want my second uncle to watch me enter Fengcheng with my own eyes, and then take him home." ”

In the summer of the fourth year of Jianxing, Zhongshan Wang Yuwenfeng committed suicide in Fengcheng in the north, and was beheaded by his subordinates and tied up his wife and children to be dedicated to the imperial court. Yu Wenchu promulgated more than 10 decrees, stabilize the people's hearts, and the people to recuperate, in August, the north was initially decided, ordered Shen Ruilin to guard Fengcheng, strong soldiers and horses, the north to reject the Huns, and the external contact Wusun. In September, the class teacher returned to the court, and everywhere he passed, the people were empty, just to see the style of the regent. Wherever Wang Shi passed, the military discipline was strict, and there was no offense with Minqiu.

At the end of the winter of the fourth year of Jianxing, Yuwen returned to Beijing at the beginning, and Yuwenguang led the Manchu Dynasty to meet the fifty-mile road in person, and the second Zen concession failed.

Mingzhu took the children and stood on the unfinished one to watch Yuwenchu's tall head and return home. She couldn't see him clearly, but she knew that he must have seen like a machine, and she must have known that she was here watching him, and when he came home, she jumped up and waved desperately, regardless of her image, and scared away a group of magpies that were chirping nearby, and caused a mess of hammers.

Mi Li'er leaned lazily on Su Lan, smiled and asked Zhuangzhuang: "Brother, can Dad see Mother?" ”

Zhuang Zhuang said very old-fashionedly: "It doesn't matter if you can see it or not, my mother thinks it's okay to see it." ”

Mi Li'er asked again: "Will other people think that my mother is crazy?" ”

Zhuang Zhuang slapped her on the head: "There is no dignity in the eyes, there is no mouth to cover, when the father comes back, you will be the first to be beaten." ”

Not to be outdone, Mi Li'er hit back: "I will tell my father that you broke his sword." ”

"I didn't! It broke on its own. ”

"You have! I saw it with my own eyes. ”

"I didn't!"

"You have!"

Mingzhu was so noisy that she had a headache, and slapped each person: "Shut up for me!" You, Yu Wenpu, have you finished your homework for today? And Yu Wenyin, what about yours? Your father can't finish writing before he goes home, and it's all in the little black room! If you want a gift, you want to eat and drink well, and go for it! ”

The two children suddenly wilted, one grabbed her by one hand, pleaded and coquettishly argued, and occasionally shed a few tears. Mingzhu tossed them enough, and then waved his hand, and said arrogantly: "Okay, today's situation is special, spare you, whoever dares to make trouble will get out of here." ”

The roots of the ears are finally cleansed.

In the evening, the snow was falling on the ground, and Zhou Shuyi ran in happily: "Your Highness is back, Your Highness is back!" ”

Mingzhu hurriedly pushed the children: "Hurry up and meet your father." She ran to the mirror uneasily, looked and looked, and then walked out slowly with a smile on her face.
