Chapter Forty-Eight: I Just Want to Farm
"Twenty years ago, Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor, succeeded to the throne, that is, Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Jianwen and his cronies Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng took a series of measures to reduce the feudal domain. At the same time, he also deployed troops around Beiping and in the city, and in the name of defending the border, he transferred the elite guards of the fourth son Yan Wang Zhu Di out of the fortress to defend it, preparing to cut off the Yan King. ”
"Zhu Di raised troops to resist, then waved his army south, and four years later, attacked Nanjing."
"After Zhu Di entered Nanjing, he wantonly killed the military generals who had given advice to Zhu Yunwen and refused to surrender. Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Jing Qing and others were killed one after another, and Fang Xiaoru was even punished by the Ten Clans, and a total of 873 people were killed in the case of Fang Bachelor, and the blood flowed like a river in the city of Nanjing. ”
"There are 345 people implicated because of Huang Zicheng. After Jing Qing surrendered, he plotted to assassinate, and the matter was revealed, and the nine clans were destroyed; Later, he was slaughtered in his hometown, which was called 'melon vine copying'. ”
"He was killed extremely tragically, first to the military department Shangshu Tiexuan, who was cut off his nose and ears and stuffed into his mouth, and then asked: 'Is it delicious?' ", wife and daughter, all sent to the Department of Teaching."
Wu Yuehe said, Chen Yuan was terrified when he heard it, he would succeed in ten thousand bones, Zhu Di's upper position, how many white bones. The Battle of Jingyan brought serious damage to the social economy that had just been restored in the early Ming Dynasty, especially in the areas where the war was fierce, and the damage was almost devastating, resulting in a situation where "the north of Huai is a lush grass."
"These, I listened to the third uncle, I was just born, and my father didn't even have time to help me get my name, so I went to the battlefield with my grandfather and never came back, and my mother immediately left."
"My father's surname is Geng, Geng's name is Xuan, the captain of the Jianwen Dynasty, and the former military governor."
Geng Xuan? Chen Yuan turned over in his mind for a long time, and he couldn't remember that there was such a person in history.
Wu Yuehe continued: "My grandfather's name is Bingwen, and he is the Marquis of Changxing? ”
"Geng Bingwen?" Chen Yuan blurted out, the general of the Ming Dynasty, how could he not know. A native of Haozhou, the son of Geng Junyong, the head of the army, Geng Junyong was killed when he attacked Zhang Shicheng, Geng Bingwen inherited his father's position, repeatedly defeated Zhang Shicheng's army, successively served as the marshal of the general army, the governor of the capital and other positions, and then followed Chang Yuchun and Xu Da to attack Datong, Shaanxi and other places, and repeatedly made military exploits. After that, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Changxing with military merits.
"You've heard of it?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "I have admired the name for a long time." ”
Wu Yuehe said bitterly: "It's rare that someone still remembers his old man, the Battle of Jingjing, his grandfather was deceived and killed by Zhu Di in Zhending, and later he was afraid that people would expose the truth, our family, the male was killed, my father, the second uncle, the third uncle, no one was spared, and the female was assigned to Qiongzhou." In the end, I was already choked, "My mother fell ill and died shortly after arriving in Qiongzhou." ”
"In the sixteen years since the Jingjing, there have been no less than 10,000 people who have been sent to Mobei and Qiongzhou by Zhu Di, and now I don't know how many people are still alive."
Chen Yuan listened on the sidelines, his mood was calm, history is heavy, cruel, and the soil under his feet, I don't know how much blood is covered.
When people look at ancient romances, they often envy them for fighting on the battlefield, lingering in love, and envy them for gaining fame and fortune and glorifying their ancestors.
They don't know how many of these people have died in other places, their wives have been separated, and their bones have maggots.
Wu Yuehe was silent for a long time: "What you told me before, I understand, even if we kill Zhu Zhanji, even if we kill Zhu Di, hundreds of years later, we will still be criminals, and our descendants will be slaves forever and will never turn over." ”
"I understand, my parents know and want me to live happily. But the sea of blood is deep, and if I don't take revenge, I can't sleep well. ”
Chen Yuan said: "Revenge is not only a way to kill people, with your strength, you can't kill them at all." ”
"That ......"
"Only by making Zhu Di admit his mistakes, restore your parents' reputation, and let those who are suffering far away from the frontier come back, is the most successful revenge." Chen Yuan was categorical.
Wu Yuehe's heart shook violently, her heart was like a volcano erupting, she never dared to think of it, and muttered: "This, is it possible?" ”
"If you don't do it, it's impossible, and if you do it, it's possible. If you're going to plan some kind of murder, you might as well be alive. The dead are gone, and those who are alive must live for themselves. ”
Chen Yuan suddenly took her hand excitedly: "Promise me, don't make senseless sacrifices." ”
Wu Yuehe closed her eyes, was silent for a long time, pulled her slender jade hand out of his hand, turned around, and said softly: "I don't know, the third uncle, they are firm-minded, he adopted us as an old man, I grew up with my brothers, and I can't watch them act." ”
The night is deep, and the sound of insects chirping in the depths of the darkness is poignant and resentful, as if telling the grievances of the night.
The bright moonlight can't illuminate the night, it's more of a shadow,
The wind was eager, and it was a little cold.
"I'm going back tomorrow." Wu Yuehe said in a low voice.
"Didn't Zhu Zhanji give ten days? We can also ......"
"In Heming Tower, Zhu Zhanji has been guarding against us, which means that we have long been under their control, and the brothers and sisters are all in danger, I don't know how to face them, I have escaped for two days, and I should face them after all."
Chen Yuan suddenly asked, "How can I find you in the future." ”
Wu Yuehe didn't answer immediately, but looked into the deep darkness for a long time before saying, "It's late at night, go back." ”
It's close, but the heart is like the end of the world.
Inexplicably, deep in my heart, there is a faint sadness.
Wu Yuehe was resolute and resolute, never dragging mud and water, and the next morning, he said he would leave. Chen Yuan was only sad, he couldn't wait to have a golden finger like others at the moment, pointing to the sky and the earth, God blocking and killing God, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.
But when I really calmed down, I realized how helpless there is in this world.
Wu Yuehe left, Fan Niangzi was still angry, and she couldn't stay at home anymore, so she hurriedly prepared to go back to Jiangning.
"Little fool, go and admit your mistakes to Master Xu, study hard, it's going to be an exam soon. If you dare to skip class again, I will go to Aunt Han's house at the east entrance of the village to talk to the matchmaker, marry the second girl of her family, and let her take care of you. Fan Niangzi tirelessly taught.
Chen Yuan didn't know who the second girl was, so he listened to the name, and felt that it should be no less than one hundred and sixty pounds, shuddered, and promised again and again that he would go back to change his past mistakes and study hard.
Of course, whether to learn it in Jiangning is another matter, and his main goal now is to find sweet potatoes.
The matter of going home to farm will not be changed if you die.
Study? That's what they did in the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't read it, and he had a headache. Ancient Chinese is not so easy to learn, with fake characters, rare characters, traditional characters, book printing is vertical, looking from right to left, and importantly, there is no punctuation mark yet.
A modern doctor of ancient literature really arrived in the Ming Dynasty, can he be admitted to the Jinshi? Jinshi are all among the top ten in the province, Chen Yuan just wants to say, send him two words, nonsense. Modern people have just gained more insight in ancient times, and their IQ is not higher than theirs. There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry.
The knowledge learned by modern people is messy, and in ancient times, they should not be used at all.
It was still very difficult for him to find a way to make a living in the Ming Dynasty.
He is a time-traveler, and his head has six hundred years of insight more than the people of this era. He is like a person standing on the top of a lonely peak, surrounded by cliffs, and beyond the cliff is a splendid country, this step is difficult to take.
