Yuan Chonghuan, whose ancestral home is Dongguan, Guangdong, has the courtesy name Yue Yuan and the nickname Ziru. (.Pure text) "Huan" means fire, which means bright, prominent and glorious; "Su" means straightforwardness and simplicity, which is natural nature. He is like a blazing fire.
Throughout his life, he had his own way of character and free style, and indeed he lived up to his name. He had great courage, the courage to fight the enemy, and moral courage. His soaring energy, stubborn brute force, and fierce ruthlessness were all reflected in his words.
In the wretched and languid court of the late Ming Dynasty, he stood out even more. His character was like a sharp and powerful sword. When the Qing Dynasty was peaceful and peaceful, hanging on the wall, he would inevitably scream to himself in the middle of the night.
He jumped out of the sword box. In the troubled times, after slaying dragons and tigers, it was finally broken. He fought vigorously, but every battle was leading to an inevitable tragic ending step by step.
When he was young, he considered himself a "rich man" and loved to travel. After passing the imperial examination, he passed the imperial examination, but failed many times. Every time he went to Beijing to take the exam, he always took the opportunity to travel and traveled to almost half of China. He loved to be with good friends the most.
He stayed up all night talking about everything, and the content of the conversation often involved military battles. He was generous and courageous, and liked to talk about military affairs with others. When he met old retired officers and soldiers, he always asked them about the military situation on the frontier.
, he was determined to handle border affairs when he was young.
Under the system of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinshi examination was held every three years. The joint examination began on the ninth day of February and ended on the fifteenth day of the second lunar month. There was also the imperial examination on the first day of March. Yuan Chonghuan took the imperial examination in Beijing in the 47th year of Wanli and passed the imperial examination. Yang Hao passed the imperial examination that year.
In February, he swore an oath to Liaoyang, and in March, four troops were killed. The two events of the new Jinshi and the defeat in the war happened at the same time. Yuan Chonghuan, a new Jinshi who had always been concerned about border defense, must have been in a mixed mood.
In the capital, of course, I heard a lot of news about the Liaodong war. After he became a Jinshi, he was assigned to be a county magistrate in Shaowu, Fujian. In the second year of Tianqi, he went to Beijing to report on his work. He usually likes to talk eloquently. When talking to friends in Beijing,
He expressed some opinions on Liaodong's military affairs, which were very pertinent, and attracted the attention of Yushi Hou Xun, who assured the court that he had military talents, and was promoted to the chief of the Military Affairs Department.
Not long after Yuan Chonghuan became the head of the Ministry of War, Wang Huazhen's army was destroyed in Guangning, and the whole court was panicked. So Beijing declared a riot and entered a state of emergency. At this time when people in the capital were panicking, Yuan Chonghuan rode a horse and went out alone to investigate.
. Director Yuan suddenly disappeared from the Ministry of War. Everyone was very surprised, and his family did not know where he was. Soon he returned to Beijing and reported the situation in detail to his superiors, declaring: "As long as you give me soldiers, horses, food and pay, I can defend it alone."
Shanhaiguan."
After hearing what he said so eloquently, the imperial court promoted him to the rank of military officer and sent him to help guard Shanhaiguan. After Yuan Chonghuan arrived, he immediately carried out the construction of the city with great fanfare and resolutely, and established specifications: the city wall was three feet and two feet high, and the city pheasant was six feet higher.
, the city wall was three feet wide, and he sent Zu Dashou and other supervisors to work on it. Yuan Chonghuan shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and treated the people well, treating them as family members and fathers and brothers, so everyone worked hard when building the city. It was completed the next year, and the city wall was high and thick, becoming an important town outside the pass.
.This city wall is the foundation of Yuan Chonghuan's lifelong achievements. This city wall blocked the Manchu troops outside Shanhaiguan for 21 years. If Wu Sangui hadn't introduced the Qing troops to Shanhaiguan, it is unknown how many more years they would have been blocked.
In the first month of the sixth year of Tianqi, the Manchus crossed the Liao River to attack Ningyuan, with 130,000 troops. They arrived at Ningyuan on the 23rd. Yuan Chonghuan, General Man Gui, deputy generals Zuo Fu, Zhu Mei, and generals Zu Dashou, He Kegang and others gathered the soldiers to swear to death. To defend the city, Yuan Chonghuan stabbed out his own blood, wrote a proclamation, circulated it to the soldiers, and even bowed to the soldiers to inspire loyalty. Under his encouragement, everyone in the army was enthusiastic and determined to fight to the death.
Nurhachi launched a massive attack on the city. Thousands of braided soldiers rushed to the edge of the city. Suddenly, tens of thousands of torches were raised from the city head, and arrows rained down on the city. The fighting became more and more intense, and the walls of Ningyuan were surrounded by more than ten miles of walls. Thousands of holes had been dug, and seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, Yuan Chonghuan could no longer remain calm. He personally moved rocks to block the gap and was injured twice. The general advised him to take care. He said sternly: "Although Ningyuan is only a mere It is a city, but it is related to the survival of China. If Ningyuan is not defended, in a few years, our parents and brothers will become slaves of the Tatars. If I am timid and afraid of death, even if I am lucky enough to survive, what fun will it be?" He tore off his shirt, wrapped up the wound on his left arm and fought again. Following his example, the soldiers all worked bravely and finally closed the gap.
On the 25th, the Qing troops attacked again, and Yuan Chonghuan oversaw the battle to the death. Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, was also injured. After three days of bloody fighting, the Qing troops suffered heavy losses, and they finally had to order the retreat. Nurhachi said to Zhubeile: "I have been fighting since I was twenty-five years old "We can't win the battle and can't conquer it. Why can't we conquer the city of Ningyuan?" I was very angry in my heart. After that, the injury never healed. In July, I went to Qinghe Hot Spring to recuperate, and sent someone to summon Dafu Jin to come back to Shenyang. He died forty miles away from Shenyang at the age of sixty-eight. Nurhaci only fought one big defeat in his life. From then on, the Qing people were in awe of Yuan Chonghuan. After Nurhachi's death, the eighth son Huang Taiji took over.[
In May of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Huang Taiji personally led the elite troops of two yellow flags and two white flags to attack the castles in western Liaoning and captured the two fortresses of Dalinghe and Xiaolinghe in Mingfang. He then attacked Jinzhou, the peripheral fortress of Ningyuan. Western cannons were fired in the city of Jinzhou, and then The Qing soldiers were severely damaged by artillery, fire and arrows. When the attack reached dawn, Huang Taiji saw that he could no longer support it, so he had to retreat and camped at Xiaoling River, waiting for the troops from all walks of life to gather and reorganize. Huang Taiji organized his troops , and turned to attack Ningyuan. Mangui led the Ming army to form a formation two miles south of the city, with guns and artillery arrayed under the city wall. The Ming army finally could not defeat the Qing army in the field, so they retreated into the city to defend themselves. The battle was very fierce, and the trenches It was filled with the dead corpses of soldiers from both sides. The defenders bombarded with Portuguese cannons, smashing a Qing camp and Huang Taiji's white dragon flag, killing many Qing soldiers. Seeing the heavy losses of his troops, Huang Taiji had to retreat and then The attack to the south of Jinzhou was unsuccessful, and the soldiers suffered many casualties. In July, the Qing army was defeated and returned to Shenyang. This battle was called "Ningjin Victory" by the Ming Dynasty, and it was the second bloody victory of the Ming army against the Qing army.
In November of the seventh year of Tianqi, Yuan Chonghuan was promoted to the position of censor of the right capital, and the Ministry of War added an additional note to the affairs of the left minister. In April of the first year of Chongzhen, he was promoted to minister of the Ministry of War, concurrently deputy censor of the right capital, supervisor of Ji Liao, and governor of the capital. Denglai Tianjin Military Affairs. The Minister of War is a senior official of the second rank, and the military region under his jurisdiction has nominally expanded to the northern part of Beizhili and the northern coast of Shandong.
In October of the second year of Chongzhen, Qing troops invaded from the west in large numbers, and Zunhua was the first to be attacked. This time, Huang Taiji personally led the troops and gathered more than 100,000 troops. Knowing that Yuan Chonghuan was guarding the east route and could not attack, he sent troops from Mongolia The troops took the lead and detoured to the west to attack. The Qing army crossed Sanhe, took Shunyi, arrived at Tongzhou, crossed the river, and marched towards Mumachang. The troops were like the wind and attacked Beijing. Datong's army was full of Guangxi, and Xuanfu's army was intercepted by Hou Shilu. They were all defeated. The Manchu and Hou troops retreated to Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan received the news of the fall of Zunhua and knew that the situation was serious, so he marched more than 300 miles in two days and two nights. He arrived two days earlier than the Qing army and garrisoned in Guangqu, Beijing. outside the door.
As soon as Yuan Chonghuan arrived, Chongzhen immediately summoned him and expressed his condolences. He asked him to report a strategy for dealing with the Qing soldiers and gave him royal food and mink fur. At the same time, he also summoned Man Gui. He took off his clothes and showed the emperor the numerous scars on his body.
, Chongzhen was greatly impressed. Yuan Chonghuan asked to enter the city to rest because his soldiers and horses were tired. However, Chongzhen was quite suspicious and did not allow his troops to enter the city. Yuan Chonghuan asked to station troops in the outer city, but Chongzhen did not allow it, and insisted that they fight in the field outside the city.
The Qing troops attacked eastward and were unstoppable along the way. When they detected the arrival of Yuan's army at Gaomidian, they were all shocked. They never expected that Yuan Chonghuan would arrive so quickly. On the 20th, the two armies fought outside Guangqumen. Yuan Chonghuan could not do anything at this time.
No longer wearing a light robe, he was talking and laughing about fighting. He put on armor and went to the battle in person to supervise the battle. From eight o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, the battle was fierce for eight hours, and the outcome was undecided.
Mangui led five thousand troops to guard Desheng Gate. At that time, the soldiers and civilians of Beijing were watching the battle at the top of the city, but they saw the Qing soldiers clashing to the west. Looking down from the city, they looked like thousands of black clouds, carrying the swift wind, and a moment passed.
In a fierce battle, Mangui was injured and his uniforms were stained with blood. Only 3,000 of the 5,000 soldiers were left. The main battlefield was at Guangqumen. Yuan Chonghuan and the Qing soldiers fought until dusk. The Qing soldiers finally retreated and retreated for more than ten miles.
Yuan Jun pursued them to the edge of the canal. Huang Taiji and Zhu Beile both said: "In the past fifteen years, we have never encountered such a powerful enemy as Yuan Chonghuan." So they did not dare to approach Beijing anymore, and stationed troops in Haizi to collect and capture them.
between.
When Yuan Chonghuan came to aid Beijing, he only brought 5,000 cavalry troops as the vanguard because of the urgent need of 100,000 troops. Later, he brought 4,000 cavalry troops. In this battle, Guangqu and his troops used 9,000 troops as an army of more than 100,000 troops. In fact, they won a great victory.
It was a fluke. At that time, Yuan Jun worked hard and fought bravely against the enemy. Secondly, when the Qing army suddenly encountered Yuan Jun, he was already timid and his fighting spirit was not strong. However, Chongzhen was a very impatient and tenacious young man. He was not yet ten years old at that time.
At the age of nine, when he saw Yuan Chonghuan standing still, he immediately became impatient and kept urging him to go out to fight. Yuan Chonghuan repeatedly said that he could not attack until the entire infantry army arrived. Now there are only 9,000 cavalry, and it is difficult to fight a decisive battle with more than 100,000 enemy soldiers.
If you seek, you will win.
Unexpectedly, Chongzhen became suspicious because of this: "Why are you unwilling to go to war? Do you want to usurp the throne? Do you want to coerce me into agreeing to negotiate peace? You have been exchanging letters with Huang Taiji in the past. What is your conspiracy? Why did you wake up so early in the morning?
Did you expect that the Jin soldiers would attack Beijing from the west?"
The Qing troops retreated to Nanhaizi on November 27th. After their defeat, they felt dissatisfied and burned and killed people on a large scale in the suburbs of Beijing. The residents of Beijing had the same mentality as the emperor. They only cared about their own property and life.
Everyone believed the rumor that Yuan Chonghuan was unwilling to go to war and had ulterior motives. Many people said that he had brought the Qing soldiers with the purpose of "threatening peace" so that the emperor had to accept the peace deal he had always advocated. At this time, the Qing soldiers
They captured two eunuchs assigned by the Ming government to raise horses outside the city, one named Yang Chun and the other Wang Chengde. Huang Taiji came up with a plan and sent his deputy general Gao Hongzhong, general Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanwo, Bak Shen, and Da Hai.
They captured two young eunuchs, why did they need to send five generals to guard them? Of course there was a trick. Gao, Bao, and Ning were Han Chinese who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. At night, Bao Chengxian and Ning Wanwo
In accordance with the secret plan taught by Huang Taiji, the people "whispered" loudly and said to each other: "This withdrawal is not that we have lost the battle, it is the emperor's clever plan. Don't you see? The emperor rode alone to approach the enemy. The enemy
Two officers from the army came over to see the emperor. After a long discussion, the two officers went back. The emperor and Governor Yuan have made a secret agreement, and the important matter will be successful soon."
The two eunuchs were sleeping next to each other and could hear their words clearly. On November 30, the guardian of Huang Taiji pretended to be negligent and allowed Yang Chun to escape back to Beijing. What Yang Chun heard was 151
Ten reports were sent to Chongzhen.
The next day, the first day of December, Chongzhen summoned Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Taishou into the palace. After asking for a few words, he ordered Yuan Chonghuan to be arrested and imprisoned in the imperial prison. Yuan Chonghuan was unjustly imprisoned, and most of the officials in the court knew that he was wronged. Cabinet University
Scholars Zhou Yanru and Cheng Ji ordered Wang Laiguangdu, the official minister, to come to the rescue. Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of the army, wrote a letter, willing to reduce his position to serve the people, fight to the death for the emperor, and use his rank as a gift to atone for Yuan Chonghuan's "sin". Who are Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates?
Bi led his family of more than forty people to apply outside the palace, willing to put the whole family in jail and come out in Yuan Chonghuan's place. Chongzhen refused. Chongzhen must have known very well that based on just a few words that Eunuch Yang heard from the Qing army,
It is unconvincing to convict Yuan Chonghuan on this point. Chongzhen refused to admit his mistake and his stupidity for accidentally falling into a conspiracy. He did not kill Yuan Chonghuan because he really suspected him of being rebellious, but just wanted to hide his stupidity. Forever.
Despicableness to cover up momentary stupidity.
Yuan Chonghuan's crime was finally confirmed, and it was a so-called "treason" out of nowhere.
Yuan Chonghuan was tied to the execution ground. Before the executioner took action, the people in Beijing rushed to bite his flesh until they bit his internal organs. The executioner followed the regulations and cut off his muscles with one knife. The people gathered around,
They yelled and cursed one after another and paid for his meat. One penny could only buy one piece. After buying it, they took a bite and cursed: "Traitor!" because the people in Beijing believed that he deliberately caused the Qing troops to siege the city last year.
After Yuan Chonghuan died, his bones were abandoned in the ground and no one dared to collect them for burial. He had a servant named Yu who was from Majiang, Shunde. He stole the bones in the middle of the night and buried them in Guangdong Yiyuan inside Guangqumen. It was separated by a city wall.
, on a square outside Guangqumen, in the trenches, is the place where Yuan Chonghuan led his soldiers to shout for a fierce battle eight and a half months ago. He risked his life to repel ten times the invading enemy troops, and defended the emperor and the city of Beijing.
The emperor and the people of Beijing cut him into pieces.
Yuan Chonghuan is one of the heroes I admire most. I used to read "History of the Ming Dynasty", and whenever I read the description of Yuan Chonghuan, I would always sigh with emotion for his loyalty to the country, his great achievements, and his tragic life experience. Yuan Chonghuan is in my book
He is a real hero in his heart. His great talent and heroic spirit cover the world. Even his shortcomings are heroic and shocking. He has more heroic spirit than the fictional heroes in novels. He fought bravely,
He has left traces in history. His dignity and majesty have shocked my soul many times.[
I never thought that Chang Bailing would mention such a historical hero in front of me at this time. At this time, I suddenly understood: the most important reason why Yuan Chonghuan can shock the souls of future generations is because of him.
of sadness.
Qu Yuan, Xiang Yu, Yue Fei... they are all tragic figures in history, which is why they can make people sigh even more.
I can't do that because I simply don't have the most basic quality of a hero: the courage to sacrifice everything for my ideals.
Chang Bailing looked at me, "You can't do it, right?"
I exhaled a long breath, because just now I was immersed in Yuan Chonghuan's tragic story. I didn't feel ashamed, because he was a hero, and I was just an insignificant mortal. I shook my head, "Yes,
I can not do it."
She immediately laughed, "Then why do you still think so much?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "But..."
She looked at me and said, "There is another way to solve this matter."
I was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "Oh? Then please tell me."
She smiled faintly and then said: "To solve the problems I mentioned earlier, it must be done by people with huge power. On the one hand, those officials with problems have no choice but to help themselves in the face of powerful power.
Submission, on the other hand, the huge power can control the propaganda machine to serve the needed public opinion guidance, and the people will not misunderstand because of this. I heard that Secretary Fang admires you very much, you can report the matter to Secretary Fang, as long as he
If you come forward, this matter will no longer be a problem."
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "This is a rumor. When did Secretary Fang admire me? I only got together twice with him. He asked me some questions, and I answered him quite satisfactorily. Is this just
Call it appreciation? But what you just said makes sense, maybe I really should report this to him."
But she was looking at me with a strange smile, which made me feel uncomfortable, "Why are you looking at me like this? Can't I go find him? Didn't you say that only he can do this?"
This matter has been solved."
She was still looking at me and smiling, "Have you ever thought about it? If you go to him, wouldn't you be putting this problem in front of him? Of course, you make your own decision on this matter. But I think you should still remind him
You say: You must never tell Governor Huang or Minister Lin about this kind of thing. Think about it, if you tell Governor Huang and Minister Lin about this matter, what will they do when they find out?
To control or not to care? I have already told you the truth behind this. So, since you can’t even go to Governor Huang and Minister Lin to tell him, what about Secretary Fang? You can guarantee that after you report to him, he will
He will definitely come forward to take care of this matter? He took care of it and took it down, minimizing the losses of the people. Of course you have done a great job. But what if he also finds it difficult? Then you are not causing trouble.
On him? Think about it, will he bother you in his heart? "
I shook my head and said, "Secretary Fang shouldn't be the kind of person you imagined, right? In my opinion, he is a very principled leader."
She immediately laughed, "Do you really know him that well? He is the secretary of the provincial party committee. Not to mention you, even we, Governor Wang, cannot fathom his true inner thoughts. You are still too idealistic. But
Feng Xiao, I understand you, because you graduated from college and have not been in officialdom for too long, so you have more idealistic things in your heart, which is normal. "
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You're right, I am such a person. Now I understand, it's a thousand words, but a thousand words. In short, you think the only thing I should do in this matter is to pretend to be confused, right?
?”
She asked me back: "Isn't it?"
We ate this meal for more than an hour. I felt that I had gained a lot, but I became even more confused - did I really give up like this? Do I really have the heart to watch things develop to the point where they are finally out of control?
After returning home, I kept thinking about this matter. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Chang Bailing had really changed. I could truly feel that every word she said to me was for my sake.
But I think her idea is still a bit too extreme. Now that I think about it, this matter is not as serious and complicated as she said. At least I can tell Lin Yu about it first. Lin Yu knows about it.
As the saying goes, if I don't go out and talk about it, it will be fine if she doesn't talk about it. In this case, I can also listen to her thoughts.
I have always known Chang Bailing relatively well. Although she has a weird temper, she is still very cautious in character. In recent years, many things have happened to the person in charge of our country's financial system, and her caution is also a necessity.
.I remember she once told me that her salary was also based on an annual salary system and her income was considerable, so she did not want to make mistakes on financial issues. However, her position determined that she would often be subject to various temptations, so
The only way to protect yourself is to stay alert at all times. Because of this, her caution will become a normal state, and it will even be amplified by her subconscious mind without knowing it.
But one thing she reminded me was right, and that was to tell me not to be impulsive. She didn’t want me to become a tragic figure. Of course, tragic figures will be known and understood by people many years later, but for the tragic figure himself, that
But it is a huge disaster. Human life is so short, and it cannot be copied or repeated. Once a person has experienced such a hardship, this life is basically over. The next life? Only the devil knows whether we will have a next life.
!
Therefore, now I have completely given up my original ideas, and I also understand that idealism may harm others and myself. There are too many injustices and even filthy things in this world. As a mortal, I am not convinced
You can do anything at all. And there seems to be a deeper meaning in Chang Bailing's words: if you want to do more good things, you must make yourself stronger and have greater power.
Or, should I ask Lin Yu again? See if she has any better ideas? After all, Chang Bailing is a person in the financial system. She has a thorough understanding of the problem of illegal fund-raising, but she may not necessarily also deal with officialdom.
A master at something.
But I remember Lin Yu told me that during the Spring Festival she would go to visit grassroots party branches, and I didn’t know when she would be able to come back.
I still called her. Fortunately, she told me that she would be back tomorrow. I said I would go to her house to find her tomorrow night. She was very happy and said, "Okay, I really don't want to have such a big holiday."
I'm alone at home alone."
I smiled and asked her: "Sister, what do you want to eat? I will bring it to you tomorrow."
She said: "Just buy some fresh vegetarian vegetables. I have all kinds of cured meats at home."
I smiled and said, "That's true. If you eat a lot of meat and fish every day, it would be better to eat more vegetarian dishes."
It was estimated that she was very free at this time, or was resting in the room, because she had no intention of hanging up the phone immediately. She then asked me softly: "Are you in the city every day during the Spring Festival?"
I replied: "Yes. I just had a meal at home on New Year's Eve."
She said: "Your old mother and children are at home, but you don't know how to take them to the river? You can't go home to eat, so how about letting the elderly and children see you every day?"
Her words made me feel ashamed again, "Yes. I had dinner with my family on New Year's Eve, but returned to the city early the next morning, and I couldn't even take my mother to the cemetery with her children.
Accompanying me, now my mother has taken her children back to her hometown. When I returned home today, I suddenly felt that everything was empty. I didn’t feel it on weekdays, but now I know that there is no one in the house, and a person can be so lonely.
."
She said: "Ah? Are you alone at home?"
I said: "Yes, my mother went back to her hometown with her children. I was still in the city during the day, and I made an appointment with Chang Bailing for dinner in the evening and consulted her on some things. There is one thing I can't make up my mind about, so I thought
I'll ask you when you come back."
She asked me: "Can you tell me briefly on the phone, what is it?"
I thought about it and said, "I'll tell you in person when you come back. I can't explain it clearly on the phone."
She said: "That's it. Tomorrow, you cook the food at your house and I come to your house to eat. How about it?"
I was very happy, "Okay. I came back from the city earlier. Sister, you like to eat our Shangjiang cured meat, right? I won't make other dishes, and I will make cabbage and boiled potato tofu.
I’m also going to make two kinds of cold dishes. Do you think this will work?”
She smiled and said, "That's great. I've been eating a lot of meat and fish every day lately. I really want to eat some vegetarian dishes."
We chatted for a while, and then said goodbye to each other and went to sleep. Now, I am in a very good mood, and I no longer have many worries in my heart, because I know that Lin Yu will definitely help me solve the problems I am facing.
.
Now, I have completely become dependent on her.
I quickly fell asleep and had a dream all night. When I woke up the next day, I felt a lot more energetic. Even the driver Xiao Sui noticed the difference in me today. He looked at me and said: "Mayor Feng,
You look very energetic today..."
I smiled and asked him: "Isn't it the same a few days ago?"
He shook his head and said: "The past few days were not as good as today's spirit."
I laughed and said, "Xiao Sui, we'd better come back early in the afternoon. By the way, you go to the vegetable market and help me buy some seasonal vegetables, as well as our Shangjiang potato curd, which is tofu made with gallbladder. After buying it, put it away
Get in the car."
He agreed repeatedly.
In the afternoon, I finished today's work very early. In fact, I didn't do much during the day today. I mainly went to the construction site to express my condolences to the construction workers who did not have a holiday. At noon, I had lunch with them at the construction site. Of course,
These scenes were recorded by television stations and city newspaper reporters.
I went to the square to look around in the afternoon and found that the place was more lively and the lottery was still going on. The citizens were finally attracted by this method, and many families came to the square with their children. Pedestrians on the street also
Quite a bit, the whole city was finally no longer so deserted, and what I saw in my eyes were warm and peaceful pictures.
I returned home after four o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Sui had already bought me groceries. He told me: "Mayor Feng, I'm lucky today. I bought something good."
I asked him with a smile: "What good thing? Look at you so happy."
He smiled and answered me: "Pig blood, real pig blood."
I was startled, "What good thing is this?"
He said with a smile: "What we usually eat is Xuewang made from blood meal and certain additives. We can't eat real pig blood like this at all."
I had heard of this, so I usually don’t eat much of that stuff. I asked him, “Did you get the pig blood from the city government canteen?”
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, you are really very perceptive. Where else can I buy this thing besides our canteen?"
I immediately asked him: "Did you give me any money?"
He replied: "I gave it, but they didn't accept it. This pig blood was also sent by the unit below, saying it was specially picked up from the place where pigs are killed."
In fact, I guess the same is true, but I don’t want people to think that I am taking advantage of the canteen. This is a small thing, but you should also pay attention to it. Now that he has made it clear what happened, there is no need for me to continue to go there more
I asked. I said to him: "Then take some back and let your parents have a taste of this real pig blood."
He said: "No, I will buy some for them if I have the opportunity in the future."
I smiled and said, "If you have it, take some back and divide it into half. That's it."
Then he said: "Okay then. Thank you."
I smiled secretly: Why are you thanking me instead?
Maybe I pay too much attention to such small things, but I know in my heart that when treating the people around me, I should treat the people around me from such details to make them feel warm. When the status of two people is very different, the details are
It can also make subordinates feel grateful from the heart, which is also the basis for cultivating their loyalty.
In fact, Xiao Sui brought a lot of pig blood from the canteen, and I gave him most of it when we got off the bus. I said, "I have a friend coming to my house for dinner tonight, and the two of us can't eat much."
He thanked me again and said to me with some embarrassment: "Mayor Feng, look, you gave me all the extra money."
I stopped talking to him and asked him to help me carry the dishes into the house. He asked me: "Mayor Feng, do you need me to do anything for you?"
I waved my hand to him and said, "It's okay. You can go back. By the way, wait a minute and bring back some preserved meat from me. The preserved meat from Shangjiang is very good. You can cook it for your father to drink with."
He hurriedly said: "Yes. Didn't you arrange it for us last time? The general office also prepared one for us."
Then I suddenly remembered it, so I let it go.
In fact, I was thinking about the favor that his brother did for me this time, and I always wanted to express it to his parents. Now I suddenly feel that it is not good for me to care too much about this matter. If you care too much about something, it will become deliberate.
, it will make others feel fake.
After Xiao Sui left, I started washing vegetables, and also slowly washed bacon, sausages, etc. with hot water. I am a medical student and I am very careful when doing such things. I am so careful that people who don't know me would think I have mysophobia.
I made a pot of radishes stewed with cured pig's feet, and steamed sausages and other cured foods on the pot. When the soup in the pot boiled, I turned down the heat and went. I didn't feel like chatting with someone just waiting for someone.
On the contrary, there is always a kind of excitement in my heart.
Lin Yu called me at 5:30 in the afternoon, "I forgot to ask you where you live now."
I also immediately remembered that I had forgotten to tell her this matter, so I apologized to her hurriedly, and then told her the specific place.
She smiled and said, "It's a great place. I almost bought a house there."
Then she told me that the driver had taken her home, and she immediately took a taxi. Taxi? I asked her. She smiled and said to me, it was a taxi, and I didn’t want to be so conspicuous.
I thought to myself, it’s really not easy for her, and she has to consider the impact of everything.
After the phone call, I immediately put down the book and went to the kitchen. Everything in the pot was already cooked. I took out the steamed preserved meat and let it cool for a while before cutting it and putting it on a plate.
Then I boiled a pot of water and only added some salt and sesame oil. After the water boiled, I added pig blood to it. Finally, I added vegetables.
When Lin Yu arrived at my house, I had just finished cooking the last dish: Mapo Tofu. All the dishes were on the table, looking very rich and tempting.
"Oh! It's really good. Feng Xiao, it looks like your craftsmanship is not bad." Lin Yu said after entering the room and looking at the dishes on the table. He immediately reached out to pick up a piece of preserved meat and ate it, "Well, it tastes good."
I immediately laughed, "Sister, why don't you wash your hands? These things are not my craft, I just cook them."
She smiled at me and said: "I forgot, you have been a doctor. I'm going to wash my hands and go right away."
She really went to wash her hands. After she came out, I asked her, "Sister, what did you bring me?"
Just now, when she entered the house, she had a bag in her hand, and then she casually placed the bag next to the door. I was in a hurry to greet her, so I didn't pay special attention to what it was.
She smiled and said: "I bought you a leather jacket when I went to Beijing not long ago, and I brought it over to you today. You can try it on first and see if it fits you."
I immediately picked up the bag, and after taking a look at it, I immediately felt a little embarrassed, "Sister, this is RN, a well-known Italian brand. This leather jacket costs at least tens of thousands of yuan."
She smiled and said: "You do recognize it. Money is not important, as long as you dress well."
I immediately took out the clothes inside and put them on. She looked at me carefully and said, "Well, not bad. The clothes of this brand are not fashionable enough, but the style and workmanship are definitely first-class. You don't feel uncomfortable wearing them.
It’s conspicuous. Not bad, as if it was specially made for you.”
I said gratefully: "Sister, your gift is too expensive. I haven't bought you a gift this year."
She smiled charmingly at me, "Why are you and sister so polite? Okay, let's eat. I'm hungry."
I hurriedly took off my clothes and put them back into the bag, "Sister, do you want to drink?"
She smiled and said to me: "Drink some red wine. During this time at the grassroots level, I drink every day. When I, the organization director of the provincial party committee, go to the countryside, I still have to drink. There is no way."
I immediately laughed and said, "Sister, at the grassroots level, the best way to connect with each other is to drink. If you don't drink, you won't be able to do it. That would be just going through the motions at work."
She smiled and said: "Yes. So I drank it every day. But this time I went to the countryside, I felt very deeply, as if I had gone back more than 20 years ago. Alas! I am old in the blink of an eye, and the countryside is still the same.
The scenery is the same as before, but not as poor as before."
I went to take out a bottle of red wine, opened it with a corkscrew, and said to her at the same time: "Sister, you must not be so fond of emotion and nostalgia, otherwise you will really grow old. How are you old now? I just met
You were exactly the same as you are now."
She immediately laughed and said, "You are really good at talking. You specifically pick out the words that my sister likes to hear."
Our wine glasses were both filled with wine, and I raised my glass to her, "Sister, Happy Chinese New Year."
She looked at me and said, "You are happy too."
We clinked glasses and drank together. She suddenly laughed, "Feng Xiao, why do I feel so awkward? It feels like we are acting in a movie."
I thought about the scene just now and couldn't help but laugh, "It looks a bit like it. Come on, eat the vegetables. This pig's blood is the real thing. Try it."
She immediately picked up a piece and ate it, "Well, the taste is indeed different and very fragrant."
I also picked up a piece to eat. It was salty and had a special aroma, just like the pig blood I had eaten when I was a child. When I looked carefully, I found that there were many bee eyes on the cooked pig blood.
Xiao Kong said, "Well, this stuff is really good. It's not easy for people to eat real pig blood now."
She sighed and said, "Yes. All the pig blood from the slaughterhouse is used to make medicine. What everyone eats on weekdays is made from blood meal."
I said: "After the Spring Festival, I am going to take good care of the food safety issues in our Shangjiang City. It will not work if we continue like this."
She shook her head and said: "Don't be anxious, take your time on this matter. We will wait until the 'Two Sessions' in Shangjiang City are over. The only thing you have to do now is not to cause any trouble. During the 'Two Sessions'
Before, you must not bother with anything. From the current situation, what you have done before is enough. Now if you do something in a big way, others will think that you are putting on a show and you will feel that you are very stupid.
It’s fake, and I will feel disgusted with you.”
I suddenly realized, "Sister, you are right."
Then she smiled and asked me, "Didn't you say you had something to ask me? Tell me and I'll listen."
So I briefly told her about the incident, including Chang Bailing's analysis and my subsequent thoughts.
She kept frowning while listening at first. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at me with a strange look, "Feng Xiao, why do I suddenly think this is a good thing?"
