Chapter 650: Great Faith of the People
The architectural pattern of this teahouse is to attract more guests, the periphery is a dismantling wooden plank wall, as long as it is not a windy and sandy day, the wooden plank wall will be removed, there are long wooden planks connected between the perimeter columns, you can sit in a whole row of people, and it is also convenient for people outside the teahouse to observe.
Originally, the wall panels would not have been removed in the winter to keep warm, but now they are very bright.
When Ji Yuan came to this side of the teahouse, there was no place for a long time, and there was no room to stand, so when he arrived at the teahouse, he could basically only stand at the door, and the corridor seats on the side of the porch were gone, and the last two board seats were just sat on by the two sword scholars in front of Ji Yuan.
But people's temperament and temperament, sometimes it is really very useful, Ji Yuan went to the door to stand and looked left and right, did not find a less crowded position, I thought about standing at the door, but Ji Yuan took a step to sit on the two sword scholars on the verandah, and only then sat down and saw Ji Yuan one step away, and when he saw Ji Yuan's appearance, they stood up together.
"Sitting, sir!"
One of the scholars stretched out his hand to invite, and the other scholar also bowed his hand slightly, and Ji Yuan certainly had to be polite verbally.
"Sit down, I'll stand. ”
When he said this, the emotions in the teahouse were being raised, and the people at several tables close to the fan-wielding gentleman were shouting that Zu Yue was shameless.
The two scholars also turned their heads to look over there, and saw that the scholar with the fan had not yet opened his mouth again, and Dr. Tea was putting refreshments and new tea on his table, which were all added by the tea guest to the teahouse.
"Sir, please don't say more, the elders are the greatest, come and sit quickly!"
"Yes, yes, we young people just need to stand. ”
Huh? You young people?
Ji Yuan glanced at his sideburns, and subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes, his sideburns were black, and there were no wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, was he so old in the eyes of these two young people?
"Well, thank you. ”
After Ji Yuan returned the salute, he took two steps forward and sat sideways, with his feet outside the teahouse.
"How many people over there, what kind of tea do you want?"
A scholar on the edge of Ji Yuan hurriedly said.
"Give us three the spring before the rain, and count it in my account!"
"Okay~~"
Ji Yuan and the others sat on the board seat in the porch outside, but Dr. Tea was good at serving, so he directly went around and handed them the tea cups, and poured tea for them one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please bear with me, there are really no tables and stools for placing tea cups, so the guest officers can only hold them by themselves for the time being. ”
"Nothing to do, you go!"
"Oops!"
Ji Yuan sat at the very edge of this gallery seat, although there was still an empty place for one person to sit on the side, and the other two scholars, who were obviously friends, did not sit down, but stood next to them, so this place became a place for the three of them to put tea cups.
The voices in the teahouse became more and more enthusiastic, and the people inside kept shouting.
"This gentleman, tell me about the battle ahead!" "Yes, yes, tell me about it!"
"We're all waiting!"
The gentleman with the fan looks like a storyteller, and subconsciously likes to whet people's appetites, which will take the tea cup to moisten his mouth, and then "snap" to open the paper fan.
"If you want to talk about these battles, it is really heartfelt, there has been a long time ahead, and there has been no news back, in fact, it is the army that the imperial court has rushed to help still suffer, so it has not been hyped up, in fact, some officials and eunuchs know it. ”
"Huh?" "What!"
"The army of reinforcements is still defeated?"
The people in the teahouse were shocked, and some people's tea overflowed from the teacup in their hands, but looking at the calm and relaxed appearance of the fan-wielding gentleman, it seemed that there was no worry at all, and some smart people knew that there must be a turning point in the future.
"Sir, don't sell it, let's talk about it!"
"Yes, sir, I'm so worried!"
The gentleman fanned the paper fan, and there were so many people crowded inside, it seemed warm.
"Okay, let me talk about the changes before and after the war ahead: it is said that half a year ago, the bandit soldiers of the ancestral Yue country broke through the border pass of my Dazhen, two or three hundred thousand people, almost everyone is a bandit, I heard that most of their soldiers thought that I Dazhen was poor, but when I entered Qizhou, I found that the people of Dazhen were rich, it was simply a bandit who saw the gold and silver mountains, burned and looted all the way, and caused countless evils, and in some places the whole village was slaughtered, the property was looted, and the women were bullied, and even children and the elderly were not spared......"
"Bastards!" "These bastards!"
"Ahhh......h I'm mad at me!"
Not to mention the people in the teahouse, even Ji Yuan frowned when he heard it.
"The bandit soldiers rely on the stimulation of looting, morale is high, after the border army of Qizhou is broken, the township Yong in the territory is powerless to resist, and my Dazhen has been in the country and the people over the years, and it is also outstanding in education, not to mention that the road is not left behind, but at least there are few bandits in the countryside, except for the border army, there are not many soldiers in the cities in the state, and the people of Qizhou are considered to have suffered a disaster, hey!"
The people in the teahouse were angry on the one hand, and sighed together on the other.
The gentleman shook his head and said.
Then the news came back, and now the saint ordered to fight against the Zuyue thieves, and the king had three roads, and successively marched to Qizhou to fight with the Zuyue thieves...... But those thieves are despicable, they are simply a bunch of bandits, without the pride of a sergeant, and they use all kinds of shameless tricks...... In the end, the first army lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and the second army was also frustrated several times......"
Ji Yuan looked away from the storyteller and looked at the people in the teahouse, many of them clenched their fists, and some of them clenched their swords tightly, with a sense of anger against the enemy.
As for Mr. Storyteller's so-called "shamelessness of thieves and soldiers" that caused the defeat of the first two armies, this kind of remark is obviously a beautification of the Dazhen Wang Division, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, no matter how much they hate the Zuyue people, if they lose, they will lose.
"Damn, these thieves!" "How could my Great Zhen Wang Shi lose to such a bastard thing!"
The two scholars on the side of Ji Yuan were holding their swords, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, and even their knuckles were white.
"That gentleman, tell me what happened next, looking at your demeanor at the moment, my Wang Shi must not have completely lost, right?"
Someone inside asked, and the storyteller laughed.
"That's natural, in fact, the three-way army of the imperial court is majestic and high-spirited on each road, but the real highlight is the last road, led by the general of the expedition to the north, the old general Mei She, leading the troops to go to Qilin Pass, the generals are all people who can fight well in the court, and there is a tiger general you don't know, it is the second son of Yin Gong, the name is Yin Chong, Yin Ergongzi is really good, and the first battle will establish a great achievement!"
"Really?" "Ah? There are still generals in Gong Yin's family?"
"Oh, Gong Yin is a great Confucian in the world, and the second son is actually a martial artist?"
"Yin Xiang's family is really a masterpiece!"
There was a discussion in the teahouse again, and even Ji Yuan, who was an elder, couldn't help but smile, Hu'er had really grown up.
Mr. Storyteller made an old mistake, and began to hang his appetite again, and did not talk about the war directly, but talked about Yin Zhong by extension.
"You don't know, before the second son of Yin set off, he was just a captain with a hanging feather, and he said that 'no merit and no achievements will not lead the general', otherwise with the identity of Yin Xiang, how can there be no general, but this time, with his military exploits, Mei Shuai directly named the general, which is well deserved......"
The storyteller took the teacup and moistened his throat, and when he saw that everyone wanted to hear about Yin Chong very much, he hurriedly continued.
"General Yin is the second son of Yin Xiang, and he is naturally also full of wealth, it is rumored that he was studied by the royal family when he was a child, and his grades are among the best, and his martial arts are even more extraordinary, and the weapons used are unique in the army, which is a pair of black halberds, and his arms are unstoppable, not to mention his outstanding strategy, and he has the courage of ten thousand people!"
The discussion in the teahouse seemed a little noisy, but this would be the time when the storyteller himself wanted to talk, so he directly grabbed the waking wood and slapped it on the table.
"Smack~"
The teahouse fell silent for a moment.
"I'll talk about one of the most critical battles in the north, and it is also the battle of Yin Ergongzi's fame, seeing through the purpose of the thief army, he asked for his life to gallop in the starry night, galloped to Luqiao Pass, led the strange soldiers to cut off the thief soldiers' food road, and the suspicious soldiers confused and scared away the thief army reinforcements, and led more than 100 elite horsemen to pretend to be the defeated soldiers of the thief army, lured the thief army all the way to the shortlist, and even beheaded the thief general in the middle of the army......"
The more the storyteller spoke, the more excited he became, a paper fan fanned fast, and everyone in the teahouse was enthusiastic when they heard it, everyone was holding back their strength, and their fists were clenched tighter than before.
Ji Yuan took a sip of his teacup, the tea was fragrant and sweet, it seemed that tangerine peel was added to the tea, Mr. Storyteller's description of the war was emotional, Yin Chong did a good job, and when Ji Yuan was happy for Yin Chong, he also diverged to think that if the same tactical technique was used by Zu Yue's soldiers, it would probably be another despicable trick.
Ji Yuan listened for a while, not only listening to the content of the front-line war of the storyteller, but also listening to the words of the people, feeling the emotions of the people here, and then drank the tea and got up.
The national strength is strong, the people are united, although Dazhen was frustrated for a while, but it is definitely not something that Zu Yue can contend with.
A moment later, Dr. Tea came over with a teapot.
"Come on, ladies and gentlemen, add tea!"
The two scholars who could listen quickly turned back to get their teacups, and were about to say a few words to the gentleman with extraordinary bearing just now, but found that there were only three teacups on the corridor seat at the moment, and the white-shirted gentleman with black jade on his head was gone, and there were still two pennies on the side of the teacup.
"Uh, this brother, where is the big gentleman just now?"
One of the scholars asked a middle-aged man standing on the edge of the gallery, who was listening to the voice in the teahouse, and casually glanced at the side, and said directly: "I don't know, I don't know, I haven't seen it." ”
Looking at the other people on the side, their expressions were all drawn by the voices in the teahouse, and the two scholars looked at each other and had no choice but to give up the idea of finding a plan.
"Hey, that gentleman's bearing between his eyebrows is by no means ordinary, he must be a well-educated person, it's a pity that he can't talk a few words!"
The scholar who invited him sighed and could only put away the two pennies.
"Brother Deng, soldiers are being recruited everywhere, I heard that after the war in Qizhou was pacified, my Dazhen Wang Division may continue to go north, determine the rebellion of Zuyue, and open up the merits of Qiankun, I want to serve the country in the army, even if I can't be a minister, I can be a secretary in the army, what does Brother Tai think?"
"Brother Qi said it well, just like Yin Ergongzi, a scholar of my generation, you can pick up a pen before the case, and hold a sword when you are in the saddle......"
Another scholar was also uplifted, and after echoing a few words excitedly, he was about to say the words of the same person, but his thoughts flashed, and he hesitated for a while, and finally he could only say.
"Brother Qi is so ambitious!"
The scholar surnamed Qi looked at his friend's slightly frowning appearance, patted the other party's shoulder and said.
"Brother Deng, you have parents and a wife and children, how can you leave? Everyone has their own circumstances, and we will meet again one day! ”
"Hey, come on!"
Dr. Tea came over with a fart, glanced at the tea cup and quoted the price of twelve cents.
The scholar surnamed Qi took out two Dang Wutong Treasure from the money bag, and was about to give them out together with the two coins of Ji Yuan, but for some reason he felt that the two coins were brilliant, so he hesitated and exchanged two coins from the money bag.
After paying the money, the scholar surnamed Qi gave his hand to his friend and strode away directly, and the scholar surnamed Deng in the back just looked at the other party's back, and wanted to chase after him several times, but finally slapped his leg and sat down.
