Chapter 428 There is already a villa in the underworld
"This is my Zhu clan's ancestral hall!"
Qing County, where Zhu Biao has not been back for two years after joining the army. When I returned to Zhujiazhuang today, I saw the Zhu family ancestral hall again, which had been renovated and expanded to more than twice the size.
The ancestral hall has three entrances, a five-phoenix tower and a pair of large stone drums at the entrance. As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a rectangular courtyard for lighting.
Colored lanterns are hung on the beams of the upper courtyard, and "Wudetang" and the three-character gilded plaque are hung high on the flower poles of the middle door, which are eye-catching.
After Zhu Biao relieved the siege of Yandong, although he became a heroic cavalry general, the old Han king still felt that it was a bit inadequate, but it was not appropriate to reward Zhu Biao again. The descendants should honor their fathers for their merits, so his father got the "Martial Arts Award".
The posthumous title of "General De". The Zhu family ancestral hall was renovated and it also became known as Wude Temple.
The name "Wude Temple" has a profound meaning. It not only remembers the Zhu family's style of martial arts performance from generation to generation, but also upholds the Zhu family's mutual respect, love, and harmony. Therefore, it is used as an ancestral hall, where annual ceremonies are held, and where unworthy descendants are taught and punished.
Of course, although the Zhu family has prospered at a speed that is unimaginable to outsiders in the past two years, the number of people who moved back to Zhu's old village is only seven or eight households. Accompanying them is a private army of a hundred people, with the same population as the private army.
Maintaining the ancestral hall is the first priority.
The vast majority of the clan members are still scattered in various places. As long as the Hugou in the north is not solved, Zhu Biao does not intend to let all the clan members move back. Although the Gu Wude Temple has been renovated, it has not been truly worshiped once.
"All evils of sexual immorality are the first, and all kinds of good deeds are filial piety." A couplet on the gate of the ancestral hall. For a long time, the Zhu family has ranked "filial piety" as the first of human ethics. This era is no different from China on Earth, and Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism does not exist. Loyalty,
Righteousness, benevolence, integrity, etc. are not weaker than the influence of filial piety and brotherhood. The imperial court did not have an accurate definition, and each family and clan had its own definition.
On the altar table at the top of the lobby, the ancestors' rankings are placed in order.
It has been hundreds of years, and it has been more than ten generations since the Zhu family settled in Qing County. Including the ancestors of the past generations before moving here, Zhu Biao only visited the spiritual tablets of the Zhu family's parents of each generation, as well as twenty or thirty
So many blocks.
After the big ceremony, Zhu Biao, Shan Yuping, Zhu Ming, and their younger sister's family came to the side hall to pay homage to the soul of their late father [husband]. Because his father, Zhu Ruohong, was the first person in the Zhu family to be honored by the imperial court in hundreds of years.
The person who was awarded the title was the origin of the name Wude Temple, so a side hall was specially decorated to worship him during his rest.
This side hall is located on the left side of the main hall, and there is another vacant room left on the right side of the main hall. According to future plans, it must be reserved for Zhu Biao.
Long before a person dies, the villa in the underworld has been built. Zhu Biao is much happier than the people in his previous life who "cannot afford to die".
"Master, General Anxi has arrived..." After two memorials, it was getting dark. Zhu Biaocai left the ancestral hall with his wife, mother, and younger sister. Zhu's mother cried for a long time, and when she came out, her eyes were red, and her eyes were red.
, the little sister helped him around. Dou Bing, who was waiting next to him, immediately stepped forward to report!
When we disembarked at Yanping Wharf, Yanzhou Governor Yang Guangchun led all state officials of high rank to greet us at the wharf. General Anxi, as the commander-in-chief of the Daqingchuan line, of course could not maintain his own identity.
Although the champion general is still one step behind General Anxi. In terms of merits, how can the Yanxi Army with the turtle defense style compare with him?
In the Northern Han Dynasty, in the Northern Han Dynasty, the reputation of Zhu Biao 60 can explain everything. No matter whether some veteran generals are willing to admit it or not, everyone knows that Zhu Biao is a golden sign in the Northern Han Army and is the leader of the Han Army.
The number one thug here!
Xiao Zhongming of Yandong is no weaker than General Anxi. Although Yanping Pier himself did not come in person, the etiquette was not bad at all. Gifts and posts were all standards of equal status!
Zhu Biao is in Qingxiang. In Qingxian, why can't he bother General Anxi to go there himself?
Quzhou, Guangyang County, two thousand miles away.
The atmosphere has been as low as a mountain for the past two days, with a heavy feeling hanging over everyone's head.
The governor was executed, the new army rebelled, and the old army was surrounded. Overnight, a new sky changed over the heads of the common people. Ji Kun, the second son of the old king, ascended the throne in Guangyang and proclaimed himself king. He called on the officials and people of all the states, counties and people to fight against the traitors who had usurped the country! He
The eldest nephew, the new king Ji Yun!
This is something that the people of Guangyang County, the many officials who did not participate in, the powerful landlords in the surrounding area, and the influential figures in the Jianghu Road are simply unimaginable. What a strange thing. There will also be rebellions in the Northern Han Dynasty, and there will be one country and two masters.
!?
Everyone was confused and at a loss!
The news from Beiping City has not come yet, but it is not difficult to imagine how angry the new king will be. It is inevitable to send an army to attack, and judging from the strength of both sides, Ji Kun's small force here is simply not enough.
But what once again made Quzhou's jaw drop was that on the day he ascended the throne and became king, Ji Kun issued a letter of credence to Zhongshan State, asking Zhongshan State to send troops to clean up the internal dynasty of the Northern Han Dynasty.
The leader of the six kingdoms for five hundred years, I have never heard of Zhongshan participating in the internal affairs of the Northern Han Dynasty.
But the reality is that on the second day after Ji Kun became king, the famous Zhongshan Army with thirty thousand swords and armor entered the border of Quzhou. At the same time, unexpectedly, Jiang Qingyan, the guardian elder of Jiuqu Sword Sect, walked into the original
The Governor's Mansion was changed to the current Han Dynasty Prince's Mansion!
It's like a hurricane has swept through the entire Quzhou Wulin. Is the Jiuqu Sword Sect going to place its bet so soon?
"Pah!" In response to this, Li Qingyun not only slammed the cup hard, but was also placed on the tea table as a cup by Jiang Qingyan.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
What was supposed to come was coming, 30,000 newly formed infantry troops, 10,000 Bodaoling cavalry, and 40,000 rebel horses rushed down from Peiping with great momentum. They arrived at the city on the fourth day of Ji Kun's rebellion.
outside.
The army was led by Sheng Tengfang, the former General Huya and the current Wugan Zhonglang General, with Yunzheng as his deputy, and the cavalry commander Luo Yaxiu. In addition to the front camp, there were two battalions, the middle [Zhu Zhong] and the right [Zhou Ziang].
When the new king ascends the throne, in addition to giving rewards for his merits, it is also indispensable to make up for the vacant troops and horses of the five battalions of Bo Daoling. Now that the court is rich, a lot of money has been confiscated from the house.
.Although it did not fundamentally solve the financial crisis of the Northern Han Dynasty, it could at least meet the immediate urgent needs.
The money has been allocated and the recruitment of troops is continuing. This is one of the reasons why only half of the 20,000 cavalry have come out.
Outside Guangyang County. Looking at the group of fast riders blocking the road, Yue Hua's expression was as calm as usual, with no trace of fear. "I am the imperial envoy of the King of Han, and I am here to see your general."
The flag of the rebel army was already known to the Sentinel Cavalry. Although the red flag was still flying, there was a flying bear on the flag. There was no such flying bear flag in the Northern Han army. And a hundred soldiers and horses came with them from Yuehua.
The Yin red war clothes he wore were also different from the red war robes of the Han army.
Seeing Yue Hua's posture, the leader of the sentry cavalry did not dare to neglect. While giving way, he sent his men and horses to report back to the camp.
"Reverse envoy?" Sheng Tengfang was stunned. What was Ji Kun sending an envoy to do at this time? Is it to recruit him and others? He immediately ordered someone to bring them into the Chinese army's tent. At the same time, he also asked his entourage to inform Yun Zheng and Luo Yaxiu immediately.
Eguan Bodai, elegant appearance, Yue Hua's appearance is very graceful.
"Who are you?" Sheng Tengfang asked in a cold voice, looking at the scholars in the hall with cold eyes. He had never seen such a person in the capital. Is he a counselor recruited by Ji Kun?
"I am the envoy of the King of Han Dynasty, Yue Hua. I am here for no other reason than to issue a letter of war." Yue Hua took out a letter from his sleeve, and naturally Sheng Tengfang took it next to him.
Submit it to Sheng Tengfang.
"War letter?" Sheng Tengfang's face was completely stunned. Is there anything wrong with Ji Kun's mind? Did he think that with the support of 30,000 Zhongshan troops, he could defeat his 40,000 cavalry? How dare he send someone to hand over a letter of challenge? It's unbelievable.
!
"Have the rebels never read the frontline military reports? Thirty thousand Zhongshan troops are just like local chickens and dogs!" Sheng Tengfang opened his mouth and taunted Yue Hua loudly. But when he opened the tactics, his expression immediately changed.
"The king sent a letter to the fake king's middle-ranking general, Sheng Tengfang: He secretly said that his husband was a general. He should protect his family and country and be loyal and chaste.
How pitiful it is that you have no loyal and righteous people, rebelling against the heaven above and tyrannizing the people below; aiding the rebels who usurp the country, and supporting the rebels who betray their own destiny. How pitiful it is for you. Our army has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the country is well-equipped for its subordinates. Our generals are as strong as tigers and dragons, and our soldiers are high-spirited.
Sweep three thousand miles from Pyongyang, destroy the puppet king Qiuhuang...Delete...
That is to say, tomorrow under the county seat, at exactly the right hour, the army will meet the dragon and the tiger to decide the outcome!"
Although it was mixed with a lot of curse words, it was indeed a letter of war. But a "false king" and a "disloyalty" made Sheng Tengfang furious!
He, Sheng Tengfang, had been fighting for the country for more than ten years. Ji Kun's son was wiped out with just one sentence. He didn't even think about it, if it weren't for his arrogant ambition, how could the people of Quzhou have suffered this military disaster!
"Hmph! Now I have been favored by the late king and inherited a great treasure. The name is right and the law is clear! In fact, you can slander me just by talking nonsense. Go back and tell Ji Kun Xiao'er to wash his neck tomorrow and wait for my general to chop him off.
Head!"
In the city of Guangyang County, the military camp is located.
Gong Rui is thinking about tomorrow's battle. He has 30,000 regular soldiers, 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers [Quzhou soldiers], and 10,000 light cavalry who came overnight after changing their uniforms. They are equivalent to the Han army in terms of strength, configuration, and performance.
Tomorrow's battle will be a good time to determine how powerful our own army is!
It will only be two years after the Ming Dynasty when the king raises his troops. Although the millions of troops in northern Xinjiang are trained seriously and the soldiers are neatly armored, it is far from enough to just shed the blood of bandits and bandits. The real combat power will still be revealed tomorrow.
Revealed in battle!
Gong Rui doesn't care about the final result in his heart, what he needs to see and pay attention to is the process.
Forty thousand tribesmen, forty thousand heavenly soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Zhongshan army rushing to Quzhou were all modified from the heavenly soldiers from northern Xinjiang...
Gong Rui really has no idea whether he will win or lose. All he can do is try his best to deal with it and release all the energy of the cards in his hand. That's enough!
Rapid breathing resounded in the Chinese military tent. Perhaps he will only calm down completely when he reaches the battlefield tomorrow...
Outside the south city of Beiping, there is a small building called Tingfeng.
The area has been expanded to more than a hundred acres, and the basement space built unbeknownst to anyone has also been expanded to nearly double, and a large group of people are locked in it. The entire basement is like a prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
, there is a prison where people are imprisoned, and there is a torture chamber where people are interrogated.
Zhu Biao's gains in Yijing Villa are all concentrated here. More than half of the people live in comfortable single rooms, and the other group, a little less than half, are also detained individually, but the single rooms are by no means comfortable.
Most of them have even had their Dantian destroyed...
