Chapter 19 The explanation before the battle
Chapter 19
Zhang Hao saw that they were worried, so he pretended to be relaxed, hoping that they could feel at ease, but how could they feel at ease!
Zhang Li looked at his younger brother. Although he was stupid, he was simple, with excellent martial arts skills and devoted himself to protecting his father. He should have gone by himself, but his body was really weak.
"This child, why don't you make great contributions or not? I don't care! I just hope you are safe!" Xu said with red eyes.
"Mom, really, mom, don't worry, I will definitely escort my father back intact. This time, we will deal with the Tatars hard!" Zhang Hao continued to smile and looked at Xu and said.
"Silly boy, I still know how to talk big!" Xu said to Zhang Hao in a doting way, and then said to Jin'er beside him: "Take off the armor for the second young master!"
"Yes, madam!" Jin'er immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked up. She has been following Zhang Hao for several years. Although Zhang Hao is a fool, he is very nice to him.
Xu took off Zhang Rong's armor and kept silent.
"Madam, don't worry, I'm still a little sure of going out of the city to fight this time, there will be no big deal!" Zhang Rong was also talking nonsense when facing his wife, and didn't know how to comfort her.
"Yeah!" Xu couldn't stop crying at this moment, and finally he said it from his mouth, and he was going to go out of the city to fight.
"Madam, after I leave the city, you will have to worry about the family affairs. You should take care of your affairs more. The emperor said before that, and then I will ask the imperial physician to take a look! There will be no other things!" Zhang Rong said to Xu, who was crying there.
When Zhang Hao saw his mother crying, he forced a smile and said to Xu: "Mom, don't worry, there is a child here. Then you can wait and see, and I guarantee that they will deal with it hard!"
"Silly boy!" Xu Shiqiang smiled. It was precisely because the father and son were there that he was even more worried. One could make him worry. Now he went to two at once.
"Madam, you believe Hao'er. Hao'er knows very well about military affairs!" Zhang Rong persuaded Xu and said.
Xu just thought he was saying comforting words, but he didn't take it seriously. After taking off his armor, Zhang Hao went to the dining table, where Zhang Li poured them wine.
"Li, you have to help your mother share the family affairs. You are too weak, but it's not possible. You still have to find a way." Zhang Rong said to his eldest son.
"I know, dad, kid can do it!" Zhang Li said with a red face.
"Brother, why are you crying? It's really okay. Don't worry, you can beat them to death this time!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to Zhang Li.
Zhang Liqiang smiled and said that everyone should smile as much as possible when facing Zhang Hao, because Zhang Hao was ignorant and his family hoped that Zhang Hao could be happy.
"Really, don't you believe me?" Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Li and stressed.
"I believe, of course I believe in you!" Zhang Li nodded immediately and said.
"That's fine, come on, dad, drink!" Zhang Hao said and picked up the wine glass.
"Boy, have you ever drunk wine?" Xu saw Zhang Hao picking up the wine glass and immediately said with a smile.
Zhang Hao really has never drunk alcohol.
"Ah, no, but my dad often drinks it, it should be very delicious!" Zhang Hao remembered that he had never drunk alcohol in this world.
"Come on, let's have a drink together!" Zhang Rong picked up the wine glass and said, and then drank it all. Zhang Hao and the others saw it. After Zhang Hao finished drinking, he even smashed his mouth.
"Dad, this wine tastes good." Zhang Hao turned his head and looked at Zhang Rong and said.
"Then you can't drink too much, Li'er, I'll give you another cup!" Zhang Rong said to Zhang Li.
The reason why Zhang Li was asked to pour wine today was because Zhang Hao was fighting for him, fighting with his brothers, father and son soldiers. As the eldest son of the British Duke, Zhang Li should have fought outside the city and was supposed to go into battle in person. Unfortunately, Zhang Li really couldn't hold his shoulders and couldn't pick them up, and his health was still bad.
"Okay!" Zhang Li picked up the wine pot, poured wine for Zhang Rong first, then poured wine for Zhang Hao, then for his mother, his wife, and finally himself.
"Li'er, Ding Yu, if there is any accident, take good care of your mother. Come on, let's have a drink!" Zhang Rong picked up the wine glass and said to Zhang Li and his wife.
"Dad!" When Zhang Li heard this, tears were almost falling, and Zhang Rong was already explaining the funeral.
"Don't cry!" At this time, Xu spoke. Her husband and son were about to go to war, so how could she cry and send them to the battlefield?
"It's okay, in the future, if your brother and I can't come back, you will take on the family affairs, come on!" Zhang Rong said, then raised the cup, touched Zhang Li, and then drank it in one sip. Zhang Li and Ding Yu also stood up and drank it all in one go.
Then Ding Yu looked at Zhang Rong and said, "Dad, don't worry, leave the family affairs to us, and Dad and the second brother, don't worry about fighting and killing the enemy!"
"Okay!" Zhang Rong smiled after listening. The meal was very dull.
Zhang Hao knew that they were worried about the safety of their people.
At the dinner table, Zhang Rong warned them that they were not allowed to tell anyone about the matter they were going to fight, and that their family members could know.
After dinner, Zhang Hao returned to his yard, while Zhang Rong and Xu also returned to the backyard.
Xu sat there without saying a word.
"Madam, you don't have to worry too much about this battle. If you are not sure, I won't go to fight." Zhang Rong said as he looked at Xu's back.
"You were a scholar before, and you were not good at martial arts. Did you have no general in the Ming Dynasty? Let you go?" Xu turned around and asked with tears in his eyes.
"Hey, do the Ming Dynasty have military generals? How powerful is the general in the court? You are not sure. Now that the Tatars besieged Beiping City, besides the Tumubao Incident, does my Ming Dynasty still have such a crisis? My Zhang family has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has also given me the Zhang family extremely high treatment. If I don't go to the battle this time, how disappointed will the emperor be?" Zhang Rong sat there and sighed.
"But, what does Hao'er know? You, you, hey, he won't go, I'm not at ease with you. He's gone, I'm worried about you two again!" Xu's heart was very conflicted.
She knew that with Zhang Hao here, Zhang Rong's safety would be more guaranteed, and she knew how high her son's martial arts skills were.
"Wrong, Hao'er has extremely high talent in military affairs. In the future, he will definitely be a general of my Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Rong said with a smile at this moment.
After hearing this, Xu looked at Zhang Rong in surprise. Before eating, Zhang Rong said that he didn't take it seriously, and now he still says so.
"I believe that as long as I win this battle, Hao'er will definitely be impressive!" Zhang Rong said excitedly.
"I don't need anyone to look at you with admiration. There is no problem with my British Duke's mansion raising Hao'er. I just hope you will come back safely!" Xu said, staring at Zhang Rong.
"I know, madam, don't worry!" Zhang Rong nodded affirmatively to Xu.
In Zhang Hao's courtyard, Zhang Hao was sleeping in bed. He had just drunk some wine and was a little sleepy.
Jin'er was sitting next to her all the time, and Zhang Hao also felt her presence, so he turned around and looked at Jin'er.
"Second Young Master, why don't you sleep?" Jin'er asked at Zhang Hao.
"Well, you don't have to stay here all the time, go and rest!" Zhang Hao smiled at Jin'er.
Jin'er has taken care of herself for seven or eight years and has long become a family member.
"No, I'll just watch you sleep at the second young master!" Jin'er curled her lips and wanted to cry. She didn't dare to say that she was afraid that she would not see the second young master in the future.
"Go to sleep. When I come back from the battlefield, I will let you wait for you to sleep." Zhang Hao said with a smile as he looked at Jin'er.
"Hmph, the young master must have learned bad things from the people in the military camp. If you serve you to sleep, you will be able to sleep. Anyway, I am the young master's person!" Jin'er pouted and said to Zhang Hao.
"Then I'm not going to do your own business. Young master, I want to sleep. To accumulate energy and kill the enemy!" Zhang Hao deliberately said to Jin'er with a dark face.
"Oh!" Jin'er nodded and went out with a look of reluctance. Before going out, she looked at Zhang Hao a few times.
Zhang Hao slept beautifully at home. After waking up, he went to the living room and found that his father had already put on his armor.
"Awaken?" Zhang Rong said with a smile at Zhang Hao.
"Well, you woke up so early?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.
"Come on, Hao'er, mom puts you on armor!" Xu said to Zhang Hao with a forced smile.
Zhang Hao walked over and Xu started to wear armor for Zhang Hao. Zhang Li and his wife were there, but they didn't say anything, and no one knew what to say.
After Zhang Hao put on his armor, Zhang Rong stood up and prepared to walk outside. Xu and Zhang Li were about to follow him.
"Don't give it to you, as soon as you give it to you, others will know!" Zhang Rong said without looking back.
Seeing Zhang Rong like this, Zhang Hao smiled and said to his mother and elder brother and sister-in-law: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to escort my father back safely. Let's leave first, don't worry!"
Zhang Hao said that, he ran up and caught up with Zhang Rong.
After Zhang Li waited for them to leave, he squatted down crying, hating that he was in poor health, hating that he only studied literature but not martial arts, and now he asked his younger brother to go on the battle instead of him.
"Li'er, it's OK!" Xu went over and patted Zhang Li on the shoulder.
Both sons are very good, unlike other brothers in the family, who fight openly and secretly. They originally thought that after the old couple left, Zhang Hao would leave it to Zhang Li to take care of him. With his brother, Zhang Hao could be able to live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, but now they are going to go to war.
After Zhang Hao and Zhang Rong arrived at the military camp, they ordered the soldiers who were going to go to the expedition to rest. The two of them went to the central army tent to rest.
In the evening, Jiajing received news that Zhang Rong went back. This was of course the report of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei was going to supervise all officials.
After seeing this, Jiajing knew that Zhang Rong was going back to explain the funeral, so he said to Lu Fang: "Tomorrow, let the Imperial Hospital send all the imperial doctors to the Duke of England to treat Zhang Li, and let the Duke of England leave behind descendants. If the treatment cannot be cured, I will not spare them!"
