Chapter 234: Lord Ye is the first person in history, their red clothes have turned white, and the veterans have all rebelled!

The afterglow of the sunset is swaying in Yanmen County at this moment.

A horse-drawn cart with five Yanmen soldiers lying down slowly entered the city from the north gate of the county seat.

The coachman who led the horses did not say a word, but led the pack horses to try to control the speed of the car, so that the white cloth covering their faces would not be blown away by the wind.

In the words of the drivers, it is 'the sunset is still dazzling, the children are too tired, it is time to sleep well'.

When entering the city, the defenders of the county town did not bother, but just stood up straight and turned their heads to see until they disappeared at the end.

After entering the city, the people on both sides of the road also consciously gave way, and watched without saying a word on both sides, until the horse-drawn cart was about to disappear at the end, and they couldn't help wiping their tears.

"Which kid is it?"

"It doesn't make a difference between the children of any family, the county town says that it is not big or small, most of them are children we watched grow up."

"The red silk outside the windows and in the courtyards of five more families is about to turn into white cloth."

"Damn the Northern Yuan, isn't it good to trade with each other all the time? Wouldn't it be good to trade their fur and fur specialties for what they need, they have to come in and grab it! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I,"

"Lao Wang, it's your business, you are from the Mengyuan clan of the Ming Dynasty, and your children are also our soldiers!"

“.”

At this moment, the horse-drawn cart stopped at the entrance of a residential alley.

All of a sudden, all the young women dressed in red, as well as their in-laws, all ran out eagerly.

The coachman couldn't help but laugh at himself when he looked at the eyes from all directions, as an ordinary person pulling a cart, he could be said to have never felt this kind of 'public attention' feeling in his life.

But now, he doesn't want to feel it again for the rest of his life.

Because these eyes made him only feel that he was a crow that specialized in mourning!

But so what?

That's his responsibility, and it's his responsibility to get these children home 'safely'.

The coachman took out the five 'death notices' given to him by the Yanmen garrison documents and said, "Who is Li Xiaoyong's family?" ”

"Yanmen Zuowei, the 5,000th household, where is Li Xiaoyong's family?"

No one answered, but almost all of the neighbors bowed their heads in silence.

Only a young woman in red and her in-laws behind her did not bow their heads in silence, and they did not cry, but silently helped their daughter-in-law take off the red clothes they had just taken off.

A young woman, dressed in white, came to the coachman and received a 'death notice' from her husband.

At the same time, the in-laws, who were still standing at the door, that is, the father and mother of the fallen soldiers, carried their son away under the guidance of the coachman.

They didn't say a word from beginning to end, that is, they looked panicked when they ran out, and they were relieved and silent after collecting the body.

Immediately afterwards, they tore off the red silk of the courtyard and turned it into a mourning white cloth.

Soon after they went home and closed the door, the red silk on the windows also turned into a mourning white cloth.

It was only when the coachman pulled the remaining four fallen soldiers away that he heard the cries from the old and the young, heart-rending cries.

And among this heart-rending cry, there are also three words that represent the three identities of men: 'my son', 'Brother Yong', and 'Dad'!

As the driver left the alley, he glanced back at this rather deformed scene.

The two families next door are hung white and the other are red, and the white is crying behind closed doors, just so as not to affect the mood of the red neighbors, and the red family has no happy face, just looking at the white people's eyes are wet and red.

Immediately afterwards, the daughter-in-law of the red family looked at her red robe wearing white clothes inside, and the courtyard with a red silk coat wrapped in white cloth.

Their eyes flickered, and their eyes were so complicated that there were really no words to describe them.

"This is war!"

The coachman sighed, and then led the horse to send the men home, and before nightfall to-morrow, he had to send the other four soldiers home.

We can't let the children continue to spend the night in the cold wind at the border.

And at this moment,

At the other end of the alley, Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were carrying burdens, also watched this scene.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang are used to seeing life and death, they are still somewhat moved when they look at this scene, and as for Queen Ma, they have been hiding their faces and crying for a long time.

Only Ye Qing, who was standing behind them, had a relatively indifferent expression.

It's just because Ye Qing at this moment has returned to the relevant memories of those lifetimes.

During the Warring States Period, he was a hundred chiefs under the general Li Mu, and he also carried his burden like this, leading his horse between the villages of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun.

At that time, there was no precedent for the cuirass to be secretly carved with the name and the number of the troops, and there was no precedent for returning to his hometown as a substitute, so it can be said that Ye Qing was the first to do so.

The reason why he made such a suggestion was that he didn't want the parents, wives and children of the fallen soldiers to get nothing.

During the Han Dynasty, Ye Qing served as a partial general under the three counties of Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong, that is, the flying general Li Guang, and further promoted this system.

During the Tang Dynasty, this system had become customized for the whole army, and there was a special military Chinese book in charge of this matter.

At that time, Ye Qing, as a general who built Yanmen Pass and garrisoned the border, also personally carried the burden and walked inside and outside the city.

Today, as the magistrate of Yanmen County, Daming, he has this heavy burden on his back.

Ye Qing looked at the small white cloth bag that had been taken out, which contained a strand of long green silk hair and the identity cuirass of the son next door to the white house.

Ye Qing knew that as long as it was handed over to the daughter-in-law, the two families would be all in vain.

"Let's go, go back to the county office!"

Ye Qing just put down such a sentence, and quickly disappeared outside the small box.

Mao Xiang caught up and said, "Lord Ye, didn't you say that you would deliver it in person?" ”

Ye Qing just said flatly: "Isn't there anyone to call this official?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qing quickened his pace again, as if he intended to distance himself from them.

And this time, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer blamed Ye Qing for his seemingly unreliable style of acting.

He just said seriously: "He just can't bear it, this guy has a heart for everyone, but he doesn't want to put a little heart on us." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang also subconsciously bit his back molars.

"As long as you have a heart, you can win his heart, can't you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the confident and gentle face of Queen Ma next to him, and nodded thoughtfully.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them also walked back to their homes.

But at this moment, another horse-drawn cart pulling the bodies of five fallen soldiers passed by them.

If it was any other time, the coachman would have said hello, but he just nodded and continued all the way out of the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously looked in that direction, and immediately knew that these five soldiers were not from the city, because this road went directly to the village outside the city.

He still remembered that he was angry with Ye Qing and walked out of the city to relax, and he also walked this road out of the city, but not long after he left the city, he saw the [Yanmen Nursing Home] founded by Ye Qing.

He still remembers that there are many veterans living in it, not only veterans who once fought with him Zhu Yuanzhang, but also soldiers from the camp of his former opponents Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng.

No matter whose soldier it is, as long as they have fought the Yuan Dynasty, as long as other conditions are met, they can stay in the [Yanmen Nursing Home].

Thinking of [Yanmen Nursing Home], Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers that scene, those gray-haired veterans are in good spirits, some of them hang their necks and throw them, and some of them shoot the bald bark of the trees!

At the gate of Yanmen Nursing Home,

Dozens of veterans who had served in the camp of Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng squatted at the door to eat with a big bowl of food.

It's not that the staff at the nursing home treat them badly, it's just that they, old men from peasant families, like to sit outside and eat, and then watch the sun go down while eating.

Halfway through their meal, they heard the breathing of the pack horses and the heavy hoofs of the horses.

Looking at this scene, they immediately remembered the sound of the cannon in the morning!

"Lao Zhang, whose baby is gone?"

The veterans were very familiar with these coachmen who usually brought charcoal and vegetables, so they inquired directly with heavy faces.

When they learned the names of the five fallen soldiers, many veterans remembered the figure of the little boy next door.

It's really how naughty and hateful I was when I was a child, and how heartache and cuteness I am now.

When they saw the five children leave, they felt that the food in the bowl was not fragrant.

And at this very moment,

A veteran who once served in Zhu Yuanzhang's camp directly smashed his iron rice bowl.

"Old brothers, have you forgotten the kung fu on the battlefield?"

These anti-Yuan veterans who had served in different camps knew what this old brother meant, and after they looked at the iron rice bowl in their hands, they also ruthlessly smashed the iron rice bowl that could be eaten forever.

"I haven't forgotten, I'm just a little rusty, why don't we practice tomorrow?"

"Then why are you still stunned, go back and find the things and wash them first!"

At this moment, they are no longer old people who eat with lattes, they are resolute veterans.

On the edge of the laundry sink in the nursing home,

The female worker, who was doing the laundry, was suddenly taken aback.

Because more than a hundred veterans with an average age of more than fifty years old, they all took out the guys they kept as memorials.

Not bad

Under the influence of those dozens of veterans, all the veterans took out the guy they kept as a souvenir.

These guys are far from the equipment of the current Yanmen garrison.

Not to mention that compared with the production of Yanmen Arsenal, even if it is compared with the leather armor of the Northern Yuan army, it may not be comparable.

"Uncle Li, are you the one who picked this matter?"

"What do you want to do?"

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

Uncle Li didn't answer the washerman's question, but just ordered the uncles around him: "Lao Zhang, don't wash it, hurry up and take someone to control the doorman." ”

"Lao Zhao, you take someone to control the management office."

"Boss Gao, you take someone to control the room!"

"In a word, there is absolutely no possibility for them to go to Lord Ye to complain!"

“.”

In this way, under the leadership of Uncle Li, the Yanmen Nursing Home was controlled by these veterans who patted the bald bark of the tree.

When night fell, Uncle Li, who succeeded in the 'rebellion', just looked in the direction of the county government of Yanmen County and bowed.

"Lord Ye,"

"We can't eat this iron rice bowl!"

At the same time, Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang, who returned to the county office, also finished dinner.

On the way back to the house, Ye Qing was just the direction of the main army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and his eyes were extremely deep.

"Tonight, you're going to have a bad dinner!"

"If my guess is correct, the general of the Northeast Second Route Army is looking for you to settle accounts in your tent!".

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
