Chapter 260 Xu Da's army arrived, and the veteran pit Zhu Yuanzhang for Lord Ye, and posthumously sealed the home of the anti-yuan!

On the stairs of the city wall, Zhu Yuanzhang was quickly going down the city.

At the same time, his mind was full of the scene of Uncle Li bowing to him before he left the customs.

In fact, as early as that time, he already had a conjecture that was unlikely to happen, but it was also reasonable.

It wasn't until the word came that he was completely sure of this conjecture.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang accelerated the pace of going to the field emergency hospital!

He wanted to know what his former subordinate, the former chief flag officer of the Red Turban Army, wanted to say to him at this time.

Under the leadership of the nurses of the field emergency hospital, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly found Uncle Li.

At this moment, Uncle Li has completed the bandaging and is just lying quietly in the intensive observation ward.

As far as the eye can see, on the 30 board beds, all of them are seriously injured soldiers who have just gotten off the operating table, and although they are all covered with quilts, it can be seen that nearly half of them are either missing arms or legs.

Even if there are no missing arms or legs, there are many people who have most of their heads bandaged.

Looking at the blood oozing out of the eye sockets, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that even if these soldiers survived, they would only have one eye in the future.

Those who have one eye are lucky, and those who don't have two eyes are uncomfortable!

Looking at these seriously injured soldiers, Rao is Zhu Yuanzhang, who killed decisively, and Rao is Zhu Dashuai, who saw life and death, couldn't help but have red eyes.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was decisive in killing and strict with officials, he was just an ordinary peasant uncle when he faced these soldiers who were ordinary people when he discharged his armor.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked very slowly, because he saw who had not covered the quilt properly, so he gently covered the quilt for him, and then just held his mouth and nodded.

The phrase 'you are good' is only said in his heart, because he doesn't want to disturb their rest.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Uncle Li's hospital bed!

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, the former chief flag officer of the Red Turban Army did not have broken hands and feet, nor did he lack eyeballs, but his lips were so white that they were no different from dead people.

The vital signs that can prove that he is still alive, that is, the chest that is still slightly heaving!

"How long will he live?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is accustomed to seeing all kinds of wounded soldiers, so he naturally knows whether the wounded soldiers can survive at a glance.

In terms of his ability in this regard, he is no less than a professional military doctor!

Therefore, he will not ask questions that are not reliable at all!

The doctor in charge of this place replied: "The general is an expert at a glance, and if Lao Li is ten years younger, he may still have hope to survive." ”

"He has a total of sixteen stab wounds all over his body, the knife is not fatal, but the knife is bleeding, and if he were an ordinary person, he would have died of blood loss."

"But he kept repeating 'I want to see General Guo on the city wall, I fought with him,' and maybe it was this thought that kept him going."

"I admire this old guy, he obviously ate an iron rice bowl, but he had to go to the battlefield, I used a piece of Changbai Mountain ginseng to hang him, and then asked people to invite General Guo to you."

"By the way, General Guo, do you know him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this pale face, he didn't have any impression at all, he just said in a solemn tone: "I don't know it!" ”

The doctor only felt very strange when he heard such an answer, and he couldn't understand what this sentence meant for a while, how could there be such an answer as 'knowing or not knowing'?

Before the doctor could figure it out, Uncle Li woke up.

He looked at the person standing in front of him, and the whole person became excited, his eyes flashed complicatedly, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

Finally, he said to the doctor with difficulty: "Doctor, you avoid it, I will say a few words to the general." ”

When the doctor heard this, he only felt that the relationship between the two was very special, so that his curiosity suddenly came to his senses.

But he still couldn't help but be curious, and walked straight out, but before going out, he couldn't help but glance back.

It was at this glance that he saw General Guo, who had his ear attached to Uncle Li's mouth, and suddenly glared at him in surprise, but it was only an instant that he regained his calm and rigor.

After a while, the doctor who was just standing at the door saw General Guo walking out quickly, and after beckoning a horse-drawn cart that had just been unloaded, he hurriedly walked in again.

Soon, he saw that General Guo was carrying the dying Uncle Li on his back, and walked out quickly with the quilt in his arms.

"General, he's dying!"

In the doctor's eyes, General Guo just turned his head and said solemnly: "Let's go and finish the last thing for him." ”

The doctor was only stunned for a moment, then sighed with relief, and then decisively went back to the intensive care ward.

In the eyes of everyone outside the courtyard, a general put the dying veteran on top of the horse-drawn cart covered with straw, and then used his strong hand to gently and tightly cover the veteran with a quilt.

Then he drove away in a horse-drawn cart.

They did not take the main road, but only the field road that only sized two horse-drawn carts to get on the wrong road, and which was hardly walked by anyone during the war.

The rice fields on both sides have been harvested, and only some sporadic forage remains, and the forage is also covered with thick snowflakes, and a sentence similar to 'Ruixue Zhaofeng Year' instantly appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind!

At the same time, the whispers that the veteran he was pulling to him in the hospital room also appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have something to say to you, can you take the grass people to the rice fields?"

A moment later,

Zhu Yuanzhang drove the carriage and stopped at a section where you could see the rice fields and the mountain wall to block the wind.

After the horse-drawn cart covered with straw leaned against the mountain wall, Zhu Yuanzhang also sat on it, and then asked Uncle Li, who recognized him, to sit with him against the mountain wall.

After Zhu Yuanzhang tidied up the quilt on his body for him again, he asked softly, "Brother, what do you want to say to us?" ”

"Ahem!"

Uncle Li, who was called the elder brother by His Majesty the Emperor, was so excited that he coughed from crying.

"Don't cry, you have to listen to us, you have to obey my will, don't cry!"

After Uncle Li sobbed twice, he endured the pain in his body and said with a smile: "How can the grass people dare to be His Majesty's elder brother?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang just had a sour nose, and then immediately said with a smile: "All my Ming people, especially farmers like you, as long as they are older than us, they are our old brothers." ”

"What's more, you used to be our Red Turban Army, brother, we're sorry for you!"

"We became emperors, but we couldn't let you live a good life!"

In Uncle Li's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was solemn, and his eyes were full of self-blame.

Uncle Li is a grassroots general who has seen Zhu Yuanzhang several times, but has never spoken alone, but he has heard his generals talk about Zhu Yuanzhang.

They said that Zhu Yuanzhang was good at scheming and played Li Shanchang and others in applause.

But he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's scheming was only aimed at those big people, not at people like them who were soldiers when they put on their armor and ordinary people when they took off their armor.

Therefore, he can be sure that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him is really blaming himself.

"Your Majesty, can the grass people call you handsome again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled and said, "We're carrying you out again, and we're driving for you, can't we call a handsome?" ”

"It's enough for you to go down and blow for a while, and Lord Yama has to be envious and jealous of you!"

Uncle Li smiled weakly: "It's really enough for Lord Yan to envy." ”

"Dashuai, in fact, when I was in the nursing home, I recognized you and Niangniang, Niangniang is still so kind-faced, still so beautiful, and you still look like everyone owes you money."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Back then, why didn't you come over and tell us like this?" ”

"Back then, I wanted to go home alive, and now, I know I won't live long!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded very approvingly, and then the two of them smiled with relief at the same time.

This feeling of abandoning identity and scruples to tell the truth is simply not too good!

It's just that if you don't have this time, how can you abandon your identity and scruples?

In the next moment, Uncle Li's cough suddenly intensified, and his whole breathing became short.

He knew that he could not delay any longer, and he had to say all the words that would not be said until he finished them.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"The grass people are in the Red Turban Army, all the way to the chief flag officer, otherwise you can't take a closer look at it several times, you Zhu Dashuai."

"Your Majesty, don't speak, listen, listen to the grass people."

After Uncle Li let out a few heavy breaths, he eased up a little.

He continued to hurry up and said: "On the Jiazi Day of October in the twenty-seventh year of Zhizheng (1367), you worshiped Xu Da as the general of the conquest, and Chang Yuchun as the deputy general, and led an army of 250,000 to the north into the Central Plains. ”

"You issued the "Edict of the Central Plains", in which you proposed to 'expel Hulu, restore China, establish a program of Chen Ji, and relieve the people', in order to inspire the people of the north to oppose the Yuan."

"The grass people followed the army to take Shandong, enter Henan, capture Tongguan, attack Dadu, and finally go west to Shanxi."

"When attacking Yanmen Pass, the grass people were seriously injured, so they stayed here and failed to participate in the subsequent battles of northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Gansu."

"If we can complete the whole line of the Northern Expedition, the grass people can also catch up with the founding ceremony of the first year of Hongwu (1368), and at least they can get a thousand households."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his nose was so sour!

He knew that Uncle Li was just a microcosm of this situation, and there were too many people like him who stayed in the local area because of serious injuries and then disappeared.

This is what the Ming court owes them, and it is even more that Zhu Yuanzhang owes them.

But he couldn't help it, it was too chaotic at that time, and he couldn't take care of it at all.

When it can be taken care of, the struggle between imperial power and relative power will become a big problem again.

Although he had the heart to look for it, the people below didn't take it to heart!

As soon as he thought of those guys who were busy occupying the land in their hometown and collecting righteous sons in the army, Zhu Yuanzhang had a murderous intent again!

But soon, his gaze returned to peace.

Because the people in front of him are not those guys, but his Zhu Yuanzhang's 'creditor'.

"Brother, if you have any other wishes, we will definitely fulfill you."

When Uncle Li heard such a sentence, his pale lips immediately raised a smile of 'success'.

Uncle Li said with anticipation: "Is Your Majesty serious? ”

"Let, no, I am the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven should be a man of his word!"

Uncle Li immediately said: "Then please ask Your Majesty to promise the grass people not to kill Lord Ye!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he felt like he had been fooled, and he rushed directly to the Tianling Gai.

He now understands all of this brother's 'conspiracy'!

He can guarantee that this old brother's worship to himself before leaving the customs is definitely a simple tribute without any 'conspiracy', and it is the chief flag officer of the Red Turban Army who salutes Zhu Dashuai.

Because he never thought that he would be able to enter the customs alive!

But after he entered the customs alive, there was immediately a big 'conspiracy', and since someone came to inform him that Zhu Yuanzhang had passed, the conspiracy began.

Want to see him, and say that he once fought with him?

This is almost equivalent to 'I know you are Zhu Yuanzhang'!

Not only that, but it can also be understood as, 'If you don't come to see me, I'll say General Guo is Zhu Yuanzhang everywhere'!

It was precisely because of curiosity and worry that Zhu Yuanzhang gave up watching the battle and ran to the field emergency hospital with all his strength.

Of course, the fundamental reason why he was willing to give up watching the battle was because he had seen everything he wanted to see, and he was sure that Chengguan would not be lost.

After he ran to the hospital, Uncle Li directly said 'Your Majesty', indicating that he knew his identity, and then asked to get him to this no-man's land.

After coming here, while reminiscing about the past, he also told him the 'debt' owed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

What I was waiting for was his sentence 'The Son of Heaven is a word'!

The purpose is to use his past exploits to exchange their Lord Ye's life!

In fact, as early as the moment Uncle Li recognized Zhu Yuanzhang, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang must have come to Weifu for a private visit to investigate their Lord Ye.

It's just that for what reason, he doesn't know.

But he can be sure of one thing, His Majesty the Emperor, who regards greed as hatred, will definitely not be able to accept their Lord Ye's way of governing the world.

During that time, Uncle Li went out to inquire for a long time, and only then did he know that His Majesty the Emperor, who had transformed into 'Master Guo', had actually started a business with their Lord Ye.

After learning the news, he knew that it must be the credit of Queen Ma.

If it weren't for Queen Ma, with Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, she would have flipped the table a long time ago!

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was only Zhu Dashuai, and he found that after his righteous son entered the city, he relied on his military merits to eat without money, and forced the restaurant owner's daughter to accompany him to drink.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned of this, he directly gave those righteous sons to death in front of the people of the city.

At the same time, the list article was also released, 'All the soldiers of our department, greedy for a penny, bullying a woman, regardless of their military exploits, are all capital crimes'!

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang treats greed as hatred, it's just that their Lord Ye's greed is essentially different from other people's greed.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking in this regard is too stubborn, and he belongs to the kind that can't rub a little sand in his eyes, and will kill all of them with one shot.

But he thought that with Queen Ma by his side, he was not so worried.

If it weren't for this battle out of the customs and seeing Zhu Yuanzhang in armor again and having become 'General Guo', he would have forgotten about this matter.

It was only after he returned from his serious injury that he had the idea of meeting Zhu Yuanzhang and saying a few kind words for them at the last moment of his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Uncle Li, who was full of anticipation in his eyes, and he also had a lot of ideas for a while.

He really wanted to promise this old subordinate who didn't live long, but he really couldn't agree!

For no other reason,

Not to mention that his Ye Qing is getting heavier and heavier for the crime of 'not guilty, but also guilty', not to mention that he Ye Qing has committed so many big crimes of disrespect, just because his Uncle Li did not forget to 'conspire' him Zhu Yuanzhang at the last moment of his life and say good things for him Ye Qing, he can't agree.

They are re-wearing the armor for the Ming Dynasty, for the homeland and their children and nephews, and they can be regarded as re-wearing the armor for him Zhu Yuanzhang, and even more for him Ye Qing.

Such a popular and military spirit has already made the emperor's back chill.

Not to mention him Zhu Yuanzhang, even Song Renzong, who is known for the word 'benevolence', will feel a chill in his back.

And a veteran who fought for Ye Qing to the last moment, still at the last moment of his life, did not hesitate to use his past exploits in exchange for Zhu Yuanzhang's promise of 'not killing Ye Qing'.

This simply made Zhu Yuanzhang's back even colder!

"Big brother,"

"At most, we can only promise you, even if we want to kill him, he must deserve it!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang clasped Uncle Li's hand and said, "Old brother, you have to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts!" ”

Uncle Li just sighed in frustration, and the only remaining breath was directly lost in half.

But then, he figured it out again.

Oh, yes!

After a person becomes an emperor, he is like a pins and needles!

Although he hadn't read any books, he also knew what happened to the emperor when he lost the dragon chair!

If a rich businessman loses his family business, he just loses his family business, and if the emperor loses the dragon chair, ninety-nine out of a hundred will lose their lives, not to mention, his children and grandchildren will be killed, and his wife and daughter will become other people's playthings!

Therefore, all emperors will be more or less suspicious, and it can also be said that emperors who don't have more eyes won't live long!

Thinking of this, Uncle Li also nodded with relief and said, "Okay, then he deserves to be killed again." ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, the grass people were the same as you back then, and they couldn't get used to his style of acting, after all, they were people who had mixed with you, but they completely changed in three years."

"The grass people just ask Your Majesty not to kill Zhongliang by mistake because of a moment of anger!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately interrupted: "Virtuous is almost the same, and loyal and good are much worse!" ”

Uncle Li looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was stubborn and stubborn, but he really didn't have the strength to talk to him more.

In his opinion, His Majesty the Emperor only didn't spend enough time with them, so that he didn't know enough about them, so he would say such wrong remarks.

He doesn't blame Zhu Yuanzhang, these old guys are actually the same as Zhu Yuanzhang, and it took a year or two to completely change their thinking.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is much more stubborn than them, and it is estimated that it will be a bit suspenseful for a year or two!

Besides, they have a fundamental difference in identity!

If he was the emperor, maybe he would be as suspicious as Zhu Yuanzhang!

This is the same as the nouveau riche who suddenly got rich, he will always feel that someone wants to make money for him and kill him, and this principle is used on the emperor is a sentence 'There are always traitors who want to harm me'!

Besides, his Zhu Yuanzhang's throne was obtained by murdering King Xiao Ming!

Therefore, no matter how suspicious he Zhu Yuanzhang is, it is normal!

Thinking of this, Uncle Li was no longer embarrassed for Zhu Yuanzhang, he just said with difficulty: "Okay, then wait until he deserves to kill him!" ”

"But Li Shanchang, people like Hu Weiyong can't believe it, and they will even murder Lord Ye."

"Lord Ye is not afraid of the powerful, he really, can really become His Majesty's right-hand man!"

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Uncle Li, who was already crying with pain, was already short of breath, and his chest was already rising and falling violently, just held his arm, and his eyes were full of pleading.

Zhu Yuanzhang used the palm of his warm hand to cover the back of Uncle Li's hand holding his arm and said, "We also want him to be our right-hand man, but."

Uncle Li said with his last strength: "In the end, the grass people only ask Your Majesty, even if they feel that Lord Ye has committed something in the future, when they want to investigate and collect evidence, they must use the person they trust the most." ”

"For example, General Mao who is on the battlefield at the moment!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "We promise you, I, promise you!" ”

After getting this satisfactory answer, Uncle Li no longer glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, but just looked at the rice field in front of him, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"I really want to see next year's harvest!"

In the next moment, Uncle Li, who was already holding on to his breath, didn't even have the strength to sit by leaning, and the whole person softened all of a sudden.

He could only look at the still snowy sky, only the rise and fall of his chest was more violent.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his old brother would pass away completely if he didn't work for half a cup of tea.

"Brother, what other wishes do you have?"

"You tell us, you tell me!"

Uncle Li just let the snowflakes float on his eyes that were wide with all his might, and at the same time that the snowflakes melted on the black eyes, making his vision blurry, he thought of the time when he left home to fight against the Yuan.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly heard an extremely weak voice, still in the Chongqing dialect.

"Caomin is a native of Chongqing Prefecture, his ancestral home is Hezhou County, and my ancestors participated in the defense of Diaoyu City, as if the battle that killed Meng Ge Khan was done by my ancestors."

"My grandfather said that when the Yuan army entered the city of Chongqing, they encountered fierce resistance, and after entering the city, they slaughtered and retaliated."

"They are also brutal to our rule, so we have hated them to death since we were young!"

"After knowing that we were fighting against the Yuan in various places, we came out to defect, and I still remember that when I got on the boat from Chaotianmen Wharf, there were many old people and many mothers-in-law waving on the shore."

"It's just that my father and mother-in-law died in the hands of Qianyuan, and no one sent them."

"In the fourth year of Hongwu, Tang and the general destroyed Xia and recovered Chongqing Mansion, but when I knew, it was all last year!"

"I still think that after the harvest here next year, I will carry the rice here and go back to my hometown for the New Year!"

"No need now, I'll be home right away!"

As soon as the words fell, Uncle Li used his last strength to face the direction of Chongqing Mansion, and then slowly closed his eyes with a smile.

Then, after he let out a long breath, even his chest did not rise and fall.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who also looked at the direction of Chongqing Mansion, relieved himself.

He just pulled out his saber, cut off a strand of Uncle Li's half-white hair, and slowly put it into his arms.

"Big brother,"

"I will do what I promised you!"

"I'll take off your name-engraved breastplate and let it go home with your heroic hair!"

"When I issue a holy decree to the officials of Chongqing Prefecture, I will let Qin send you home, go ashore from Chaotianmen Wharf, and then bury the Diaoyu City of Huizhou!"

"The body stays in this home, and the hair with the soul goes back to the hometown, do you think you want to get it?"

"You're laughing, that's what you want!"

"General Li, I am now posthumously sealing you as, and I am the fourth commander of the matter."

Half an hour later,

Zhu Yuanzhang drove a horse-drawn cart to send the general Li who he had just posthumously sent to the foot of Yanmen Mountain, and put them together with the soldiers who were afraid that their families would not be able to stand it because they died too miserably, and were ready to be buried here.

They will stay in the south of the Great Wall of Yanmen Mountain, and together with the martyrs of the past dynasties, they will always stay in Yanmen!

At this moment, three heralds ran into the command room one after another.

"Report, 30,000 imperial court troops, appearing behind the enemy army at the West Gate, are the Fu character generals!"

"Report, 30,000 imperial court troops, appearing behind the enemy army at the East Gate, are blue-character generals!"

"Report, a large number of imperial court men and horses appeared in the rear of the main army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Zhongmen, it is the Xu Zi Shuai Banner, as well as the Li Zi General Banner and the Tang Zi General Flag!".
