Chapter 507 Grand Ambition
Liu Zeqing can't experience the joy of the sports meeting.
He only experienced the pain of lack of food.
There is a way that bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates.
During the change of Ding Mao, the imperial court summoned the world's elite soldiers to serve the king.
In the first few troops, Hou Shilu and others were quite strict in abiding by military discipline.
When it comes to the trilateral soldiers, the situation is different.
These soldiers had no money or food, and relied on robbery all the way to Beijing.
I didn't fight a battle, and I grabbed all the way back along the way.
The people in the northwestern and northwestern parts of the mountains were very disgusted with the officers and soldiers from other places.
As soon as he came out of Denglai, Qiu Hejia ate all the food allocated to him.
Liu Zeqing bought grain in Zouping County, but he couldn't buy grain if he went any further.
He had no choice but to return to Zouping County and continue to buy grain.
Buy a little more, drive a little more.
I didn't know that I had arrived in the new city.
Damn, I've run out of food, and I can't buy food yet.
Liu Zeqing was worried.
"Master, what do you think I bought?"
A soldier with a chicken and a dog on a leash ran back happily.
"Where did you get the chickens and dogs?"
Liu Zeqing waved his hand casually, and then looked at the chickens and dogs: "It doesn't look like chickens and dogs raised by small households." ”
"This is a small one bought from a farmer's family, specifically to honor Mr. Liu."
The soldier's face was full of injustice.
"Forget it, slaughter them and stew them for the brothers."
What is the military discipline of his own family, Liu Zeqing is still well-informed.
He just sighed, how did these old Liao soldiers fall so quickly after breaking away from the Guanning army.
The soldier with the chicken and the dog had just walked on the front foot, and the pro-soldier came in on the back foot.
"Master, there is an old gentleman outside the camp who sent a copy of the post."
"It's a rare thing. The gentry looked down on Master Ben one by one, but now they brought me this thing. ”
Liu Zeqing took a look, and his face changed slightly: "This is a post sent by Wang Hewen, the son of Wang Xiangchun." ”
Xincheng Wang's family, others don't know, he doesn't know yet.
The retired Wang Xiangqian is Wang Xiangchun's cousin, and there are many senior officials of Wang Jiaguang's "elephant" generation.
Looking at the content again, Liu Zeqing's scalp was even more numb.
It turned out that the chicken and the dog were not bought from the farmer's family, but Wang Xiangchun's manor.
The soldiers went to buy grain, but the owners of the estates did not sell it.
The two sides clashed, and the soldiers took the chickens and dogs in a fit of rage.
"Quick, go tell them to stop."
Liu Zeqing panicked.
Wang Chengyin hurriedly ran out, and after a while, he came back stupidly.
"Did you keep it?" Liu Zeqing asked nervously.
Wang Chengyin shook his head: "It's already in the pot." ”
"What?" Liu Zeqing turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said: "Go, arrest that soldier and parade through the streets." ”
After speaking, he walked out of the handsome tent and personally went to find Zhuang Ding, who delivered the letter.
"General Liu, what are you going to do?"
Zhuang Ding looked arrogant and didn't take Liu Zeqing in his eyes at all.
Liu Zeqing could only bow down and say: "This brother, I have already arrested the soldiers who committed the crime and paraded them in the streets. ”
"That being the case, the old man took his leave."
Speaking of this, Lao Zhuang Ding glanced at Liu Zeqing coldly: "I hope you don't make an example, don't cause trouble when the time comes, it's hard to clean up." ”
It was completely the tone of Lao Tzu reprimanding his son.
After that, Lao Zhuang Ding left without looking back.
Liu Zeqing not only didn't dare to get angry, but could only bend down and bow his head and say repeatedly: "You go well." ”
When Lao Zhuang Ding walked away, Liu Zeqing breathed a sigh of relief.
The dignified general soldier does not live as well as an old Zhuang Ding.
Ay! Who called us not like Yang Chengying, who has more than 100,000 soldiers, and even dares not to buy the account of the superintendent.
However, things don't end as simply as thought.
That night, the flames were blazing.
was so angry with the soldiers on the street that he took a few brothers to burn down the Wang family's manor, and then ran away decisively.
Liu Zeqing was frightened.
Thinking that Shandong couldn't stay, Denglai couldn't go back, so he drove north to Zhili.
On September 27, he arrived in Wuqiao County.
After this, the army could not continue its march.
Because of the lack of food, there is no money left in his hand.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have left the Guanning Army, and now I'm staying in Liaodong to eat and drink spicy food, and go to this ghost place to suffer."
Liu Zeqing was irritable.
"Master, why don't we write a letter to General He."
Li Yingyuan came up with an idea and said, "Please General He for the sake of his comrades, and pull the brothers along." ”
"General He is in Xining Fort, is it too late?"
Liu Zeqing's heart was moved, and then he became worried.
"There's no way around it, don't you think?"
Li Yingyuan sighed: "It's better than now." ”
"It makes sense, you go and call the clerk and ask him to write the letter quickly."
Liu Zeqing had an idea.
"Good!" Li Yingyuan nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Suddenly, he felt an urge to urinate, ran out of the barracks, turned the corner to a place where no one was looking, and began to release water.
Just as he was about to finish, he suddenly saw a beggar approaching.
Rough! You can even watch the military master pee, and see how Lao Tzu cleans you up.
Li Yingyuan thought and walked towards the beggar.
But he is getting more and more wrong, how can this old beggar look like his father.
When I got closer, it was really his father, Li Jiucheng.
"Father!"
"Son......" Li Jiucheng burst into tears.
"How did you get to be the way you are?" Li Yingyuan asked hurriedly.
"Say nothing." Li Jiucheng waved his hand and said, "Do you have anything to eat?" My father hasn't eaten for three days. ”
"Well, my camp has been without food for several days, and there is only one loaf of bread."
As he spoke, Li Yingyuan took it out of his pocket.
It doesn't matter whether he washes his hands or not, Li Jiucheng takes it and holds it and nibbles a few bites.
Just chew a few times and swallow hard.
In the blink of an eye, the cake was gone.
Seeing his father like this, Li Yingyuan was distressed and sighed.
"Father, how did you ......?"
After eating the cake, Li Yingyuan repeated the old words.
"Hey! He went to buy a horse for his father, but was robbed of money by the Karaqin people and driven back. ”
Li Jiucheng shed tears and shook his head painfully: "I didn't buy the horse, and the money is gone." ”
"The money to buy a horse is gone, and if you go back, you will be reprimanded by Governor Qiu, or even go to prison."
Li Yingyuan thought about something and proposed, "Father, why don't we run away quickly." fled to Jinzhou and begged Yang Shuai to take him in. ”
"Why do you say that?" Li Jiucheng was a little puzzled.
"Here's the thing......"
Li Yingyuan told his father what happened in Liu Zeqing's camp 1510.
Li Jiucheng listened, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"We don't have any money in our hands, and we can't run far if we want to."
After his son finished speaking, Li Jiucheng said: "What's more, with the situation of you and me, you can't even mix with the big head soldiers after you go." ”
"So what to do? Why don't we find a place to hide, stay incognito, and live a new life. Li Yingyuan was anxious.
"Phew! The son of no future, the world is so big, where can you be happy? When we went to Liaodong Town to make up a household, we were easy to find. ”
"So what to do?"
"Ying Yuan, I've thought about it a lot. It was discovered that the most powerful Ming troops in the Ming court were outside the pass and confronted the Tartars. Even if it's over, it's not going to be able to attack in a short time. ”
Li Jiucheng analyzed: "It is very far for the elites of the three sides to come to Shandong, and they have no money or food like us, so they have to rely on robbery. ”
"This ...... Father, you are confused about the child, what do you mean! ”
Li Yingyuan scratched his head.
"Forced against Liu Zeqing, took the Liao brothers in Dengzhou, Futian Chenghei and Li Baochen Weiye, learned from the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns, and seized Shandong!"
