Chapter 895 Ten years of hard work, wind, snow and frost (4)
Amidst the whistling of the cold wind, in the corridor below the small building, lanterns were lit one after another under the eaves.
A few orange lights were lit, illuminating the dim courtyard. Tan'er folded his arms and looked down from the railing. Ning Yi came up with a lantern: "When I came here for the first time, I felt that it was very similar.
The small yard in Jiangning."
Tan'er was still a little confused at first, but now she laughed: "What are you going to do?"
"What else can a couple do? You just happened to be here. Let me show you - I brought food." Ning Yi smiled, picked up the package again, and pushed open the door to the side.
The furnishings in the room are simple - it seems to be a woman's boudoir - there are tables, chairs, beds, cabinets and other items. Perhaps they have been prepared before. There is not much dust at this time. Ning Yi pulled out a brazier from under the table and pulled it out.
He took out the machete he brought with him and chopped the two benches in the room into firewood.
Tan'er looked at his actions in a funny way. She had not seen Ning Yi act so casually for many years. She took two steps forward and squatted down to help unpack the baggage and said: "This house still belongs to someone else. You are acting like this."
it's not good?"
"It's not very good, so I didn't bring anyone else here."
The knife skills learned from Hongti, Xigua and others were used to chop firewood smoothly. The firewood branches were neatly arranged, and a fire was lit in a short time. The room seemed warm. Tan'er opened the bag and took out a bunch of firewood from the small box inside.
Food: small pieces of steamed buns, marinated chicken wings, meat slices, a few skewered meatballs, half of fish, some vegetables... two plates of side dishes that had been fried long ago, and wine...
She couldn't help but smile. When her family gathered together, Ning Yi would occasionally organize a round of barbecue. With his meticulous research on food, the taste was still good. However, in recent years, China's military supplies were not abundant. Ning Yi set an example for everyone.
After setting a food quota, even if he wants to save some meat for barbecue and then eat it in large quantities, it often takes some time to accumulate, but Ning Yi is happy with it.
The husband and wife have been together for so many years, and although there are days when they get together less and more apart, they have become extremely familiar with each other's pace. Tan'er put the food and wine on the round table in the room, and then looked around the room, which no longer had much decoration.
The world outside seemed dark, except for the courtyard, which was bathed in a warm yellow because of the lights below.
Ning Yi held the fish slices and put them on the fire: "This house looks like the burned building."
Tan'er turned around: "It was burned in a fire."
"Yes." Ning Yi nodded.
"You are so familiar with this place. How many people have you brought here to visit?"
"Not many, Hongti...Juan'er...Xiao Hu, Xiao Zhang from the secretariat...Auntie Tiantian from the Women's Association, and..." Ning Yi opened his hands and counted them in the extinguishing light of the fire.
, looking at Tan'er's eyes that were beginning to become rounder but also filled with a little smile, he couldn't help but laugh, "Well, I just came here with a red scarf last time..."
"Why are you so happy after winning a battle?" Tan'er said softly, "Don't get carried away."
"It's pride, but not pride." Ning Yi sat on the stool and looked at the grilled fish in his hand, "There are many ideas for this battle with the Jurchens. They can be very heroic when mobilizing, but what they are thinking about is burning the cauldron.
But now, there has finally been a development. Zong Han gave Zong Han a hard blow in the battle of Yuyu Creek. They will not retreat. Next, these guys who have caused trouble in the world will bet their lives on the southwest. Every day
At times like this, I want to break away from the whole situation and look at these things."
When he said this, the expression on his face was not proud, but solemn. Tan'er sat down. She has also been the decision-maker of many major events. Knowing that people are in the game, it is inevitable that they will not be sober because of the interests involved. Ning Yi
In this state, perhaps she really pulled herself away to a higher place. When she discovered something, her face became serious.
Ning Yi smiled: "I recently remembered that when I was in Jiangning, the building was not on fire yet, and you sometimes... came back at night, and we chatted together in the corridor outside. At that time, I should not have thought of what happened later, the incident in Fang La, Hangzhou
, the matter of Liangshan, the matter of resisting Jin, the matter of killing the emperor... If you want to do magic, at most, you will become the helmsman of the Su family in the future and run the cloth business in a prosperous manner. Do you think I am... messing with you for the rest of your life?
?”
"I'm really not prepared..." Tan'er thought for a while, "Especially after the rebellion, all the preparations in the first half of my life were in vain, and later I was forced to leave... Before you kill the emperor, I gave the Su family some thought
After a lot of planning and getting rid of the court, our family returned to Jiangning. After experiencing those big events, we have a family and children, and there is nothing to fear in the world anymore."
"At that time." Thinking of these, Su Tan'er, who had been the matron of the house for more than ten years, her eyes shone brightly, "...Those thoughts were indeed some of the most practical thoughts."
More than ten years ago, in the days before the regicide, although we encountered various problems in Beijing, as long as the problems were solved, everything would fall into place after returning to Jiangning. These are still planned ideas, Su
Tan'er felt something when she said this, but she didn't quite understand the purpose of Ning Yi mentioning it. Ning Yi stretched out a hand and shook Tan'er's hand.
"Over the years, the decisions I have made have changed the lives of many people. Sometimes I can take care of it, and sometimes I have no time to take care of it. In fact, it has more impact on the family. Your husband suddenly changed from a businessman to a businessman.
The leader of the rebellion, Yunzhu Jin'er, probably thought of a stable life before. These things are valuable. After killing Zhou Zhe, I walked to the front, and you had to go up. There was no buffer period.
, more than ten years have passed like this."
Tan'er's face turned slightly red: "Actually...you don't need to say this..."
"I'm not sorry. Maybe there are no more choices, but it's still a bit regretful..." Ning Yi smiled, "Think about it, if there could be such a world, there were no Jurchens from the beginning, you might still be running Su
At home, I teach and am lazy. When I have nothing to do, I go to a party and see a bunch of fools writing poems. During the New Year and festivals, the streets are lit up with flowers and fish and dragons dancing all night... It will be very interesting to continue like this."
When Ning Yi said this, Tan'er's eyes suddenly turned red: "You are... just here to make me cry."
"It's almost the Chinese New Year. It's quite interesting to think about these things when I was young."
Ning Yi grilled the food in his hands and realized that her husband was indeed coming out with memories. Tan'er finally put away her mood to talk about business. She helped Ning Yi bake something and talked about the recent situation of the children at home.
.The two of them picked up their wine glasses and clinked them at the round table.
The day has quickly entered the boundary of night. Through the open door, little lights are floating in the distance of the city. The lanterns below the courtyard seem to be swaying in the wind. Suddenly there is a sound, like an overwhelming sound.
It was raining, but it was heavier than rain. The sound of crackling enveloped the house. The brazier in the room shook a few times. Ning Yi threw in the firewood. Tan'er got up and walked to the corridor outside, and then said: "The falling rice particles
Already."
Ning Yi's eyes flashed, and then he nodded: "It has already snowed in other places in the world."
At this time, the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River have long been covered with heavy snow. Only the Chengdu Plain has been rainy this year, but it seems that the time has come. Tan'er returned to the room, and the couple looked at the sky.
Xiaoxue was eating and drinking while chatting about interesting things at home and gossip in the army.
Ning Yi talked about Xu Shaoyuan and Yong Jinrou:
"Speaking of Xu Shaoyuan from the Secretariat, he is relatively dull, but his ability to do things is still very strong. He had fallen in love with Master Yong's sister before. You know Yong Jinrou. She is in her early thirties, very beautiful, well-educated, and has been a widow for seven or eight years. Now she is working with
She is a teacher. I heard that many people in the army are attracted to her, but it is useless to propose marriage to Master Yong. She is told to let her choose..."
"Xu Shaoyuan fell in love with Yong Jinrou at first sight, but he didn't know how to pick up girls, so he asked a guy from the General Staff to give him advice. There is no reliable person in a group of lunatics, Zou Lie knows, right? He said that I have more ideas, so he secretly came over to inquire, saying
How to please girls? How did I know that it was Xu Shaoyuan who wanted to pick up Yong Jinrou? He told them a few stories about heroes saving beauties. Then Xu Shaoyuan went to Hedeng. In three days, he was very busy, from writing poems to finding someone.
He pretended to be a gangster, then pretended to have internal injuries, then confessed his love... he almost used force... Master Li saw him and found some female soldiers and beat him up..."
"After the beating, he came to me again to complain, saying that the people in the Secretariat were playing hooligans. So I went to ask, called Xu Shaoyuan out, and confronted Yong Jinrou. After the confrontation, I asked Xu Shaoyuan to do it in front of Yong Jinrou.
Sincere self-reflection... I also helped him compile a sincere confession. Of course I didn't write it for him. I helped him sort out his mood and use self-reflection to express his feelings again... My wife, I must be smart. Master Li even cried at that time.
I was so moved... but Yong Jinrou refused at the drop of a hat, tsk, it's really..."
"Ten moves... but refused..." Tan'er interrupted, "What do you mean?"
"Very moved - then turned him down."
"Is there such an idiom..."
"I invented it recently." Ning Yi smiled, "Then, I asked Miss Shishi to help solve Yong Jinrou's emotional problems. She has a good relationship with Yong Jinrou. This inquiry made me know one thing...
…”
The couple were talking about these trivial matters in the room. I don’t know how long it had passed. The food was already cold and they were slightly drunk. Ning Yi sat on a stool and looked at the snow particles in the sky outside and said:
"Before the Battle of Yuyu Creek, the general idea of the Southwest Campaign was to hold on first and then wait for the opponent to reveal his flaws. After the Battle of Yuyu Creek, Wanyan Zonghan was really the enemy in front of us. The next idea was to use all means
, defeat his army and chop off his head - of course, this is also his idea." Ning Yi chuckled, "Thinking about it, I feel a little excited."
Tan'er turned to look at him, and then gradually understood.
She held his hand and said, "Nothing will happen to you."
"certainly."
In the past ten years, starting from the small Su family in Jiangning, to the incident of Huangshang, to the danger in Hangzhou, to Liangshan, disaster relief, regicide... Ning Yi has been somewhat alienated from many things for a long time. Regicide Later, in the eyes of outsiders, he had more of the spirit of looking down on the world, and many people were not in his eyes - perhaps in the eyes of Li Pin and others, even the glory of Confucianism in the entire Wu Dynasty era was not in his eyes. In eyes.
Facing Xixia, when the Jurchens were strong, he would adopt a somewhat conciliatory attitude, but that was just a formulaic approach.
Facing an army of 100,000 led by Li Qianshun, Ning Yi just said to the envoy sent, "People from China will not surrender to foreign countries", and then defeated the entire Xixia army.
Wanyan Loushi came to the northwest with great momentum. Fan Hongji sent the heads of Lu Yannian and others to demonstrate. Ning Yi said to the Chinese soldiers: "The situation is stronger than the people, so we must be friendly." When Loushi was approaching Yanzhou, Ning Yi just He said to the team, "Starting from today, all the Chinese army will go to war against the Jurchens."
After killing Lou Shi, there was no room for change. The Jurchens imagined victory without a fight, and then came to persuade them to surrender. They threatened to massacre Xiaocanghe into a mass grave. Ning Yi directly said that this would not be a mass grave. , here will be a pit of 100,000 people, a pit of millions.
When showing weakness is useful, he will show weakness in words and some small strategies. But in action, Ning Yi is extremely strong no matter who he faces.
For a long time, the Huaxia Army has been at a disadvantage in the face of the entire world, but in the heart of my husband, he has never been at a disadvantage. He has incomparable confidence in the future. In the Huaxia Army, this confidence is also passed on layer by layer. People working below.
Facing Zong Han and Xi Yin's ferocious southern expedition, the Chinese army, influenced by Ning Yi's attitude, only regarded it as a "problem that needs to be solved". But at this moment after the Battle of Yuyu Creek, Tan Erwang When I looked at Ning Yi, I finally saw a little tension in him, which was the excitement and tension that players on the competition field began to maintain before taking the field.
From the perspective of the whole world, after Wanyan Agu was defeated, Zong Han and Xi Yin were indeed the most powerful and terrifying giants on the stage of the world. For the past twenty or thirty years, no one could take the lead wherever they looked. Rui. Over the years, the Huaxia Army has made some achievements, and many people in the world have taken it too seriously. However, in front of Zong Han, Xi Yin and others, the Huaxia Army and the inner demon Ning Yi have always been It's a difference of one or even two levels.
The opponent is a demon king who can dominate the world for a lifetime, and there is still a behemoth like the Wu Dynasty in the world that is unstoppable and invincible. The Chinese army is just a powerful armed force that is gradually transforming into a country.
But at this moment, Ning Yi had murderous intentions towards Zong Han. In Tan'er's eyes, if Zong Han was the most terrifying giant of this era, the husband in front of him finally stretched his muscles and wanted to show off to him with the same giant posture. The other party came forward...
Such a picture flashed through her mind, and the ice particles falling outside the window gradually became smaller.
The heavy snow is about to fall, and the world will become what the Jurchens once were familiar with...
