The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the literature is shameless, if this small gain, if you don't make good use of it, how can you be worthy of the great political talents learned from later generations?

Wu Sangui wanted to stay for a few more days, but he was also kicked out by Ma Shilong.

Annoyed and angry, he had to make a grand wish that "sooner or later, he will become the master of this place", and then he also turned his horse's head and walked away.

Hurry up, within a few days, Zu Dale and his party have arrived at the Ningyuan realm, because they are like arrows, and they are only a few hours later than the messenger sent by Ma Shilong.

Zu Dashou happened to be in Ningyuan, and discussed with Yuan Chonghuan about the construction of the Great and Small Ling Rivers and the military situation of the left and right defense lines.

Suddenly, he heard that Ma Shilong was coming, and said that this group of cubs had entered the Mongolian territory westward, and had entered the pass from Ma Lanyu through the two ancient roads of Liuhe and Chengde, and returned to Shanhaiguan with the general army of Ma who was patrolling the border.

The news that he would return to Ningyuan in a few days after only a short rest was really surprised and delighted, and even if he sent a personal guard, he quickly rode to Shanhaiguan to greet him.

Not long after galloping on the official road, the messenger met Zu Dale and his party, and after recognizing each other, they returned together.

Yuan Zu and the others got the report from the outpost and happily went to the city to greet each other, which moved this group of young tough guys who gritted their teeth and persevered no matter how hard and tired they were.

Wu Sangui, who was full of emotion, fell to the ground as soon as they met, holding his uncle's trouser leg and crying, which made the tiger general, who had never cried, also reddened, and did something comforting for the first time in his life.

Yuan Chonghuan sighed, "Fuyu's first time was taken away like this", looking for it but couldn't find Huang Chongzhen, he was immediately so shocked that his hairs stood up, and even his voice was a little hoarse, and asked: "What about Chongzhen?" What about the big locusts in Ben Shuai? Didn't the rabbit come back with him? ”

It just so happened that Zu Dale took out several small bone jars from his arms, Yuan Chonghuan took them with trembling hands, held them in his hands and looked at them carefully, and unconsciously tears filled his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Just dead?" ”

With Zu Dale's emotional intelligence, he didn't realize what Yuan Chonghuan was sad about, but seeing him so sad, all kinds of bloody and difficult moments of this trip were shown in his mind one by one like a movie.

So sadness came, nodded miserably, and said: "Yes, pillars, hammers, nails, iron hammers, wood, bamboo poles...... All the heroic souls who died in battle are in these small jars.

In particular, the hammer, holding the gunpowder bag on the side of the Liuhe River, died with Jiannu, buying us time to cross the river. Look, their names are still rewritten and pasted with their own hands. ”

Yuan Chonghuan is such a keen character, he was immediately stunned when he heard the words: "Really? ”

"Yes, that guy volunteered to stay in Shanhaiguan and was following General Ma to help him train his troops." Wu Sangui suddenly stopped crying for some reason, turned his head and said first.

"Ah, my poor pillars, hammers, nails, hammers, hammers, wood, and bamboo poles, you are waiting to die...... It's really tragic. Yuan Chonghuan glanced at this guy who was used to drills, and never mentioned Huang Chongzhen again, only grieving because of the spy war sacrifices of several teenagers.

He first howled, then collected his tears, and said solemnly with sadness in Yu Ya: "But don't worry, Daming and Ben Shuai will not forget you, and your widow and orphan, Ben Shuai will definitely take care of it." Heaven and earth and all the soldiers can testify to this commander. ”

"Handsome and wise, but they are all very young and have no wives and children."

"Then I will enter the Heroic Hall of my Guanning Army, and I will be worshiped by my Guanning brothers. Wu Sangui, at this time, you will supervise, if there is a problem, only you ask. Speaking of which, this Valhalla was still suggested by that kid Chongzhen.

You and he are both guards under the command of Fuyu, no matter how difficult the situation is in the future, you should be on guard and look at each other, help each other, and overcome the difficulties together. The future of Guanning and even the entire Ming Dynasty and Liaodong still needs to wait for these young people to support it. Remember, remember. ”

I have to say that Yuan Chonghuan's elegant and resolute appearance is really charismatic, although Wu Sangui boasts that he has the support of his ancestors, he still does not dare to slack off, he hurriedly gets up and bows, and clenches his fists to receive his life: "No." The last general will live up to the teachings of the commander. ”

"The same garrison, one person has always claimed to be under the standard, but the other has already claimed to be the last general."

Yuan Chonghuan was secretly calculating in his heart, but his face was not moved at all, but his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, but he looked up at the sky slightly but not majestically, and said, "Where is Zhou Ji?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, Zhou Ji is here." Zhou Ji responded and stood up and saluted.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, I've grown a lot taller and stronger, and I'm more calm, yes, come on." Yuan Chonghuan looked this kid up and down, and praised him without hesitation.

After Zhou Ji thanked him like a benchmark, he said: "Guan Ning's family, it is understandable that your brother wants to break away from the commander and join the command of the general army. It's just that you have always been inseparable from him, why did you leave him behind? ”

Zhou Ji smiled and said: "Wu Shoubei's statement is a little wrong, Chongzhen is indeed willing to stay in Shanhaiguan to help Ma Zongbing train, but it is not voluntary, but forced to volunteer, and he also made a half-moon appointment with Ma Zongbing. ”

This awkward word game has a very strong style of emphasizing truth, and I don't know if Zhou Ji got his true biography, or if the kid took it by word and deed.

In short, even the most dull people listen to it, and they understand the meaning.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Yuan Qi for confirmation, who wiped the tears from his cheeks and nodded heavily.

Zu Dale took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Yuan Chonghuan, whispered to Wu Sangui and complained to Wu Sangui, "Don't talk nonsense", and said solemnly: "Yu Dashuai, this is what I have seen and heard about the Jurchen people during this trip.

All of them are recorded by Chongzhen. It also attaches a lot of his experience and thoughts, which took a lot of effort, which is really rare.

However, he was not greedy for this hard work at all, and when he saw that General Ma was desperate to leave him in Shanhaiguan, he could only be a favor, so he asked me to hand over this booklet to you. ”

Yuan Chonghuan lowered his head and looked at it, only to see that on the rough cover, "Houjin Insight and Hearing Records" was written, followed by the slightly smaller words "Huang Chongzhen".

As the dignified governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, of course he would not care about the careful thinking of the importance of the truth in the monograph, but held it in the palm of his hand as if he had obtained a treasure, and turned his head and glared at Wu Sangui fiercely.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to rub his hands and laugh awkwardly, admitting that he couldn't understand Chongzhen's helplessness and hard work.

It's only been half a month, and it's a snap of a finger.

Therefore, although Zu Dashou was a little unhappy, he didn't care too much, but just laughed and scolded according to the words of his brother: "Ma Shiworm is really dead-skinned, and he actually came up with the idea of the Wuning Jinbian Army."

However, Guan Ningben's family, we are alone, and Shanhaiguan is really backed by Ning Jin...... Dashuai, I promised this half-month period. If after half a month, this guy fails to fulfill the contract, it is not too late for me to go to Shanhaiguan to ask the guilt. ”

Yuan Chonghuan knows that this is the case, but he is extremely disgusted by this kind of behavior of using officialdom routines to dig up his own corners - just with such a good relationship between our brothers, borrowing someone for ten days and a half months is not a matter of words?

Is it worth playing with these clumsy methods? When it comes to playing methods, can you still play with the Ministry?

And who can guarantee that after half a month, what kind of excuse will you find and what kind of moth will come out?

The more Yuan Chonghuan thought about it, the more angry he became, he really couldn't swallow this dumb loss, so he immediately gathered all the people and horses, and went to Shanhaiguan to snatch Huang Chongzhen back in person.

But after a few steps, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

——From the perspective of military purposes, Guanning really can't be separated, and the Ming Dynasty's occupation in Liaodong is only left with the narrow strip from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, at most it will advance to the first line of the Xiaoling River, and the grain and grass military supplies should be scarce.

It is precisely because of this that the slave chieftains in the past attacked, and Gao Di retreated into the pass with the supplies and people, and Ning Yuan, as a lonely city, would be so difficult to defend.

From the perspective of officialdom, Liaodong is Liaodong, Guannai is Guannei, and the world's No. 1 Xiongguan, which is the throat of the Beijing Division, just perfectly distinguishes the two.

No matter what the reason, if you go to Shanhaiguan to meet with Ma Shilong, the general of the army, and are not doing anything all day long, the imperial historians who know that they are staring at others and are looking forward to others making mistakes will know that with their ability to catch wind and shadows, under the news of the incident, this governor of Liaodong, should he still be the governor?

Thinking of this, with Yuan Chonghuan's pride and conceit, he suddenly felt that his whole body was like being bound by a spider web, and he was powerless, so he had to sigh and scolded viciously: "I hope that after half a month, you will climb back for Ben Shuai." ”

As he spoke, he ordered all the ministries to perform their duties and guard all places.

Then he ordered to send people to wait on Ningyuan Road every day, but if there was serious news, he would reply immediately.

In a few words, Yuan Chonghuan had already made proper arrangements, and only then did he work with Zu Dashou to welcome Zu Dale, who was dusty and ragged, back to the governor's yamen, which is the so-called Shuai Mansion.

In this process, Huang Chongzhen, who was far away in Shanhaiguan to conduct extremely strict devil training for the defenders, sneezed several times, secretly thinking that Zu Dale and they should also return to Ningyuan, and his heart was happy, so he showed a smile for the first time since the day the training began.

However, this smile was tantamount to a demon's smile in the eyes of the trained Shanhaiguan soldiers.

"Fortunately, I have Zhou Ji and Da Niu, both of whom are friends in my heart, although Yuan Qi is Yuan Shuai's personal guard, he can entrust his life and death.

Counting on Xiao Guizi to tell the truth, it is better to expect Zu Dale to open up the elm pimple. However, the rest of the partners, although they don't have much right to speak, if Xiao Guizi is really excessive, they will still speak up more or less. ”

Especially, when Huang Chongzhen thought of this, and smiled from the bottom of his heart, the Shanhaiguan guards who always used the corner of their eyes to observe their words and colors, even if they were suddenly in their hearts, they secretly howled that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Huang Chong was really happy, so he threw the whip in his hand in the air and crackled, and said proudly: "Today's additional training, five kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country." How far is five kilometers? It's ten miles, and it's ten miles one way. That's right, it's ten miles, and then ten miles, a total of twenty miles.

The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow. Through the ages, there are eight wildernesses. If it is a milk tiger, it should roar valley, and if it is an eagle falcon, it should try its wings. This vast world, this eternal desolation, isn't it just for our men to look at it?

If you are willing to fall and consider yourself a coward, you can stand up now. Everyone has their own ambitions, and no one will make irresponsible remarks about you. But from then on you will no longer be our brother. Mountains and rivers meet, meet again, only passers-by. ”

With his words, some people gritted their teeth, some swore swearing, and some greeted his whole family, but none of them came out, no one chose to give up, and some people who were as strong as big animals couldn't wait to give it a try.

But when Huang Chongzhen personally led everyone to set foot on Ningyuan Road and start training, no one rushed to the limelight in order to show off, and no one was willing to fall last, but silently followed the back of the leader and moved forward at a uniform speed.

The years go by, time flows, and half a month of time is placed in the flow of time, which is tantamount to a drop in the ocean.

Huang Chongzhen did not exclude Zuo Liangyu because of his preconceived prejudice.

On the contrary, not only do they treat everyone equally, but also take special care, such as doing a few more push-ups, running hundreds of kilometers more, etc., which is a common thing, and the meals will be correspondingly more.

This made Zuo Liangyu painful and happy, in just half a month of training that was more terrifying than the devil, the exaggerated appearance of Yushu Linfeng had disappeared, the person was dark, thin, and strong, and looked much more down-to-earth, and the truth of a hard work and a harvest was deeply engraved in his heart.

In fact, at the beginning, he also tried to be a little clever and cheating.

But every time he is recognized by Huang Chongzhen's sharp eyes, not only will he be trained, but he will also reduce his food.

After a few times, he became much more honest.

Zuo Liangyu enjoyed this special treatment with a young general named Wang Pu.

Huang Chongzhen is almost forging this talented young man with a wrought iron attitude and method.

This person's mind is not as firm as Zuo Liangyu, and he complained bitterly after a few tosses, but he was forced by Huang Chongzhen to be a little tough, and when the resistance was not only fruitless but increased the intensity of training, he had to ask for help.

Even, fighting his father, who was the official to the left governor, even Ma Shilong interceded for him in a roundabout way.

But Huang Chongzhen still did not change his original intention, still like the little man who treated his first love, how much love he had during the day, and how much he had excessive needs at night, which finally made Wang Pu give up his fearless struggle.

and changed the posture of the son-in-law who came to gild, trained hard, was angry, and roared and released cruel words - sooner or later, if you want to trample on this hillbilly without any background, it will be like stepping on a locust.
