Chapter 29
Chapter 29 The Big Rat
This night is full of spring, and Zhuo Bufan doesn't feel very strong. For those villagers, they may not have had so many laughs in their lives.
Zhuo Bufan didn't see Bai Bing all night, and he was quite worried. He even went to the previous little girl to check it out, which made the girl unhappy. However, there was nothing at all. Bai Bing slept with his head covering, and I really didn't know how she could fall asleep.
Hong Chengchou's special envoy brought military orders, and the war came to an end. Due to the failure of Haishan Pass, the Tartars temporarily avoided fighting. Dahua's main army was still stationed outside the pass to look for opportunities to fight. As for private-equity troops like the Zhuo Family Army, they were ordered to return to the army and disbanded outside the capital. A group of meritorious people came to Beijing to receive the emperor's reward.
The military horses were taken over by the Funing Guards, and these military horses were still sent back to Haishan Pass. Thousands of cavalry in the army were waiting for their mounts to return. Even the hundreds of seized Tartar war horses were collected together, so let's consider interest.
In this way, the newly promoted Dahua cavalry Zhuo family army was defeated back to its original form and became a miserable infantry. They went directly from Changpo Village to Zunhua and Jizhou returned to the capital 400 miles west. It can be seen that if the Tatars break through Haishan Pass, it will only take a few days to threaten the capital. As for the Great Wall defense line here in Sanhezi, there is no need to worry about it. The rugged and long mountain roads are not conducive to the army's actions. Since the last sneak attack by Nurhaci, they have also strengthened their vigilance. As for the effect, I am afraid that they can only wait for the Tatars to detour again to find out.
Zhuo Bufan had some higher plans, but only let Li Weisheng's departure hit his enthusiasm. At present, private soldiers must be established, which is also to prepare for himself to save his life in troubled times. As for the longer-term goal, whether to try to save the conquered building or to make a living, he himself has no determination now. Because if he wants to do big things, he will not have a stable life again, which is inconsistent with his own enjoyment plan. If he does not do it, he will inevitably be involved in this chaos that no one can avoid after the chaos.
Four years, it’s not too long to say it’s too short to say it’s too short. Just take one step at a time, and you still have to prepare for the future.
Regardless of past and present, Zhuo Bufan has never been to this land of Jingdong. With four thousand Zhuo family troops, Zhuo Bufan and his party are like going outings and enjoying the spring, and they are no longer there. However, these thousand elite soldiers of his uncle were ruined by him. I wonder if the uncle, the white-faced general with three long wisps of beard, would slap him on his butt. With eight hundred warriors and one more stone, if Li Weisheng was there, it would be worth it.
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away, but this time the victory of Haishan Pass spreads thousands of miles away. Yima has long sang a great victory all the way to the capital. Local officials, merchants and wealthy people along the way are all happy. This is indeed a rare good thing that can benefit from all classes. Wars are more fierce than tigers. Many places still remember the pain of the Tartar invasion ten years ago.
Zunhua is a key location located in the capital and the Great Wall defense line in the north. The battle ten years ago made the ancient city experience bloody storm. Because General Yuan’s powerful general Zhao Rujiao died here, it added a lot of tragic color to the ancient city.
On this day, the Zhuo family army traveled around Zunhua. Seeing Zunhua City in front of them, everyone couldn't help but speed up and wanted to have a good rest in the city. Zhuo Bufan had long sighed that the air in ancient times was fresh and there was no worry about the end of the environment, but it was too inconvenient. Compared with the bus, walking on horseback was like a turtle speed, which was really unbearable. Moreover, riding a horse at the beginning was very fresh and curious. In a few days, I was sore in my waist and back, and my legs were cramped, and I thought about the goodness of the car. As for the carriage, that thing was not as good as riding a horse, without shock absorption and extremely bumpy.
The sky gradually became darker, and I shouted and watched the rain clouds slowly gather in the sky. The spring rain was as expensive as oil, but it was not so easy to pour on it. At this moment, on another fork in the direction of Haishanguan to the east, a team of people came to shout, and there were probably four or five thousand people.
Now the people who returned from Haishan Pass are all informal soldiers, that is, private-equity soldiers like Zhuo Bufan. From a distance, the big word "Zhou" on the flag has already indicated its identity.
"Damn, I said why it suddenly became dark? It turned out that this guy has arrived, which is a coincidence." Zhuo Bufan hummed contemptuously.
At this time, the soldiers had already arrived in front of him, meeting Zhuo Bufan at the fork in the road. When the commanders of the two armies met, the team stopped.
"Haha, it turns out that it is Brother Bufan. I didn't expect to meet here. What a fate." I saw a white horse, with snow-white whole body, strong and elegant, holding a rare good horse. However, the slightly fat young man on the horse was not very good at matching this good horse. His pink and white little fat face, two wisps of mouse whiskers, and his small eyes also had close relatives with the mouse. It was not like a good way to turn around.
Zhuo Bufan thought to himself, Damn, there is such a big pile of ape dung. Isn’t this Zhou Menglong, the son of the right prime minister Zhou Zijin? This kid is like himself, and he has won the title of General Hongsheng. This time, he must have returned to Beijing.
"It's true that it's fate. I met last time, so I'd be in Yaxiang Pavilion. Hehe, when I go back this time, Brother Menglong will take over with you. I can guarantee that all the good girls will be given to you." After saying that, Zhuo Bufan and Zhuo Er looked at each other and smiled proudly.
The left and right prime ministers are natural opponents. Zhuo Yin represents a group of Confucian scholars and civilians who leapt on the dragon gate, while the right prime ministers have won many royal relatives and noble families. The right prime ministers themselves have the identity of the father-in-law. The left prime ministers are mostly radicals in the middle and young people, and are dedicated to promoting reforms. They are considered reformists. However, the right prime ministers are naturally conservatives, who are dedicated to defending the vested interests of high-ranking officials and nobles, and are considered conservatives. The natural waters and fires do not allow enemies. The battle has been fought for many years, which has caused
After countless storms, big and small, Emperor Chongzhen was determined to weaken the forces of all parties and focused on supporting the third force headed by the cabinet chief. However, the two major forces that had been crisscrossed for generations were even helpless. The third force gradually chose to stand sideways, and the strength of the two forces became stronger. It is no wonder that Chongzhen was suspicious and indecisive in life, and it was difficult to have a heart-to-heart relationship with his ministers. In the past ten years, he had never accomplished a major event.
As for the Yaxiang Pavilion mentioned by Zhuo Bufan, it is a manifestation of the friction between the two sides extending to their generation. Just like officials choose to stand on the side, those brothel women also want to stand on the side. At this time, Zhuo Bufan's advantage is reflected. He treats those women like lovers when he rushed over. He has long been famous in the flower and wine industry in the capital. One of the left prime ministers and the right prime ministers are of equal strength and no one can do anything to each other. So why not choose the handsome and handsome one? In this way, as long as two people meet, Zhuo Bufan will most likely have the upper hand.
Zhou Menglong's name is good, and the horse riding is also good. Unfortunately, he is not very outstanding. He is vengeful and will definitely revenge. If Zhuo Bufan hadn't had a similar background, he would have sent someone to do Zhuo Bufan's business. When he saw him today, he didn't expect Zhuo Bufan to give him any face and directly made him unable to get out of Taiwan. He wanted to get angry and not be afraid. He swallowed his anger and swallowed his voice was not true. He was embarrassed and his lips twitched in his heart. He didn't know how many times he cursed back and forth.
Zhuo Bufan smiled contemptuously and rode his horse to the city of Zunhua first. Zhou Menglong, who was not willing to be outdone, also rode his horse to follow. Fortunately, he was about to enter the city. The road was very wide, and the two teams were in peace and went in unison.
As we approached the city gate, there was a sudden burst of gongs and drums. The road was crowded with people on both sides of the road and welcomed them to go out of the city gate.
Zhou Menglong looked gloomy and said to the middle-aged man with a vicious expression on his back, wearing a strange coarse cloth robe, "Master, we will win this time when we go out of seclusion, the emperor will definitely reward you very much. With the master's ability, it is natural to be a national master, haha."
The vicious man moved his mouth and squeezed out an expression that he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, and he was just responding. Zhou Menglong seemed to be in awe of this person, so he gave up after laughing a few times.
At this time, the people on the roadside had already come up, some with eggs and some with tea, and they called the army to return with great hard work and eat and drink before leaving.
Zhou Menglong had never received such a favorable gift. He felt so happy. A little girl handed the egg and was about to take it over. However, a girl next to her suddenly shouted: "Ah, which army are you?"
Zhou Menglong was stunned, then tried to exude heroic spirit to point to the military flag and said, "We are the Hongsheng Army, the Zhou family army, who had just come from the defeat of the Tartars from Haishan Pass to win."
"Oh, I'm wrong, little sister." As he said that, the girl pulled the little girl away quickly. Zhou Menglong's hand trembled while grabbing the egg, and then he touched his chin.
At this time, the people had already discovered that Zhuo Bufan's side was the headquarters of General Weiwu, and rushed over. It was nothing like this, but the people on Zhou Menglong's side regretted standing on the wrong side, and squeezed past the Zhou family army, while shouting anxiously: "Oh, let's go and reward General Weiwu."
Zhou Menglong was in a very bad mood at this time. He watched the people around him rush up to serve tea and water to the Zhuo family army, and he whispered to the mighty general and Zhuo family army. His team had already been washed away, so he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was furious.
The vicious man also had a trace of contempt in his eyes and said, "A little impatience will cause trouble for the big plan, the process."
While speaking, the man was going to go first. No one could delay the crowd wherever he passed. The speed was slow and fast, and it happened to be a gap between the crowd.
