Everyone in the box looked up at the door and saw Li Dingguo running in excitedly first. After a while, Mr. Li appeared at the door.
"Dingguo, what did you ask about?" Zhong Jinwei asked him with a smile.
Li Dingguo ran to Zhong Jinwei and stopped. There was no sweat on his face. Obviously, this little exercise was equivalent to inactivity for him. He looked up at Zhong Jinwei and replied: "Master Hou, that man refused to say anything at first. Later he followed
After he whispered, he told me that compared to other dramas, this play has a sense of reality, but only a little bit."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he remembered that when the show ended just now, judging from the scenes shown by the spectators in the lobby, it seemed that the sense of reality was not very great, at least it did not cause a strong reaction from them. Those people were really watching the show. The show was over.
, the comments are gone, and it doesn’t have much to do with them themselves.
To say that these people are insensitive, Zhong Jinwei does not think so. When something is not done well, he first attributes the cause to others. This is not Zhong Jinwei's style.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked Li Dingguo: "Did he say anything specific?"
Li Dingguo's little head nodded and answered Zhong Jinwei: "Yes. He said that Liaodong is thousands of miles away from Fengyuan. The distance is too far. What happens there has no impact on the colorful life of Kaifeng, where people eat, drink and have fun. They also
I never thought that one day I might experience these tragedies, so I put myself out of it."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he suddenly realized. Human beings are such animals, and they don’t realize the seriousness of things until they happen. Those who know that everything is done in advance, and those who fail to do so are elites, but most people are not.
Zhong Jinwei smiled at Li Dingguo, reached out and touched his head and said, "Yes, Dingguo worked hard. I know how to improve this play."
At present, this play lacks a purpose that it ultimately wants to tell the audience. For example, Zhong Jinwei asked Wen and Wu to write this play. The purpose is to let the people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty understand the brutality of the Jianlu and the misery of the people in Liaodong. I hope they can effectively
Those who had money and strength came to help the court defeat the Jianlu.
Now based on this purpose, combined with what the son of the King of Zhou said, Zhong Jinwei thought of showing this demand at the end of the play. It can even show what the court is in urgent need of. If no one supports it, then the brutal Jianlu may
They will break through and threaten their lives. In this way, the play will be relevant to the audience, and it will easily resonate with them.
When Zhong Jinwei thought of this, he was afraid that he had forgotten this matter and had to go back quickly to write it down and give instructions. So, he said to Wang Peng: "Let's go back to the inn."
Wang Peng wished that Zhong Jinwei could go back and rest early, so he suppressed his curiosity and did not ask how Zhongxing Hou planned to improve the play. He immediately called for the scattered guards to escort Zhongxing Hou back to the inn.
After arriving at the inn, Zhong Jinwei first asked for the Four Treasures of the Study and prepared to start writing. But he was really not good at calligraphy with calligraphy, so he asked Si Xiaodao who was still following him: "Which of you can write?"
The four children looked at each other and shook their heads.
At this time, Zhong Jinwei realized that he seemed to have asked too many questions. The four of them were all born in poverty. After being taken in by Zhang Xianzhong, they had no fixed place to live. After joining the bandits, they were even less likely to study.
Zhong Jinwei thought that after he returned to the capital, he would let the fourth child and Li Laosi learn literacy together in the mansion. This was the basis for doing anything, and literacy was still required.
"You guys go back and rest first. We will set off back to the capital early tomorrow morning." Zhong Jinwei saw that they were still in good spirits, so he said to them.
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Si Xiaoxiao imitated Wang Peng's behavior before, clasped his fists and saluted Zhong Jinwei, then walked out and went back to his residence to rest.
Wang Peng was the only one left in the room, and Li Laosi was still there. Zhong Jinwei was not shy about them. They knew how his calligraphy was.
He immediately lay down on the table and began to work hard on writing ways to improve the play. While writing, he thought that he must make some charcoal pencils to take with him in the future.
Early the next morning, Zhong Jinwei set off on his way back to Beijing. Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the death camp that neither the Mongols nor the Jianlu could find. What is the current situation?
In the hinterland of the Horqin Grassland, where the Zhuri River Grassland is located, there is a blue sky and white clouds. The ground is covered with a green carpet, and the fresh and tender grass makes groups of cattle, sheep and horses bark happily while eating. On the surface
It seems very peaceful, but a careful person can find that this is a little different from before, the herds are too dense.
Not far away along both sides of the Zhuri River, there are endless yurts. This is where the Darhan King Banner of the Horqin people is located.
The current King of Darhan is a member of the Borjijit family, named Zhaisang. His sister Zhezhe married Huang Taiji as the main palace in 1614, and then gave his daughter Bumu, who was only thirteen years old, to his wife.
Butai (also known as the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who was very popular in Manchu TV dramas) was also married to Huang Taiji, and her aunt and niece served together with her husband.
Today, Sai Sang, although the tribe is strong, has given up on competing with the Jurchens for supremacy. He is quite happy to have found a long-term ally for himself and the tribe.
In the past, Sai Sang's only worry was the marriage of her eldest daughter Hai Lanzhu. She had to find a so-called hero to get married. As a result, she is now an old girl and has not yet found a husband.
But recently, Sai Sang has had another worry, which is about the Ming army that went out to take revenge.
Horqin's pasture is now the time when cattle, sheep and horses are grazing to gain weight. However, due to the unknown Ming army, the tribesmen do not dare to spread out and graze. They all huddle around the Wang Banner and graze together.
, so as not to be alone and be attacked by the Ming army.
The current situation is not bad, because the nearby pastureland is enough for cattle, horses and sheep to eat.
But if this continues, the pastures here will not be enough to continuously supply the entire tribe's herds.
Sai Sang was very anxious about this situation.
He also tried various methods and sent out a large number of scouting horses to search for the Ming army together with other large tribes.
But the grassland is really too big. The size of the Ming army can be said to be large or small, but it is not difficult to hide in this endless grassland.
Now Sai Sang's big headache for this Ming army is that this Ming army is different from any previous Ming army. It is composed entirely of cavalry. It can come and go without a trace, just like a horse.
A large horse thief on the grassland.
If given a choice, Sai Sang would rather face the army of Qi Jiguang, who was famous in the Ming Dynasty. They have strong soldiers and horses, as well as firearms and chariots. Sai Sang is not afraid at all, because even if he can't bite down, at least he can run far.
I can clearly see the dangers and gains and losses, and I am not as frustrated as I am now.
The scouts sent by Sai Sang worked hard for many days, but could not find even a trace of the Ming army.
It stands to reason that this Ming army has fought many battles, and there will always be some wounded soldiers. If we can catch a few wounded soldiers who have fallen behind or returned to the Central Plains, we can also get some information about the Ming army.
But strangely, after so long, nothing was found. Only the battlefields where some tribes were attacked left some traces of burning.
This led experienced people to conclude that all the wounded soldiers were probably disposed of.
Thinking of this, Sai Sang felt a little cold in his heart. The Ming army general who came out of the fortress was a ruthless man, and he was very powerful in commanding the troops. If this happened to his subordinates, they would probably take advantage of him not paying attention.
They ran away in groups.
Saisang had no choice but to divide his tribal army into four parts. Three of them were led by his three sons, with the sweat tent as the center and stationed in triangles to protect the entire ranch. In addition, he had a group of troops under his command.
If it is supported, it can directly protect the sweat tent, or it can also serve as a temporary reserve force for mobile attacks.
This kind of passive defense is impossible. It makes the grassland people who like to attack proactively feel extremely aggrieved. They can't wait to find the hateful Ming army immediately, rush over and tear the Ming army into pieces.
Sai Sang was drinking kumiss alone in the big tent while watching the female slaves dancing in the tent. Although the weather was still cold, the temperature in the tent was not bad. The female slaves only wore a light gauze, covering the hidden parts of their bodies.
Faintly appearing with the dance movements.
But although Sai Sang looked at it, he didn't feel anything at all. His mind continued to think about what he had just thought about.
A few days ago, the Jurchens sent news that they had sent Dabeile Daishan to the grassland to help kill the Ming army.
When Sai Sang first heard the news, he was very happy for a while. As expected of an ally of the Mongols, he knew that Mongolia was under attack and sent troops to help.
So Sai Sang had no doubt at all whether Dai Jin could defeat the Ming army. The soldiers and horses led by Daishan were obviously the elite of the Eight Banners. It would be easy to defeat the Ming army.
If he hadn't seen how powerful Dajin was against the Ming army over the years, Sai Sang wouldn't have formed an alliance with the Jurchens in the first place.
The only thing Sai Sang was worried about was that Daishan couldn't find the whereabouts of the Ming army, so it would be useless.
At the beginning, the progress of the matter was indeed not beyond his expectation. The Jurchens searched everywhere and found no whereabouts of the Ming army.
Later, things gradually went beyond his expectation. Daishan actually annexed those small tribes, and is now still annexing the middle tribes everywhere.
After Sai Sang heard the news, he was very angry at first. This was obviously taking advantage of the situation. Sai Sang was about to send someone to condemn Daishan and persuade the Mongolian tribes to return.
But his approach was stopped by his sons, who asked him with a simple sentence: "By doing this, you are going against the Jurchens. Are you sure you can defeat them?"
Sai Sang had no confidence when he thought of this, so he had to forget it. He had fulfilled his duty by saving his tribe. No matter how good Liang Daishan's teeth were, he would not be able to take advantage of a large tribe like his!
Just when Sai Sang was thinking about this, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a person broke in. He reported through the group of dancing slave girls: "The Great Khan, the Great Jin and He Shuo Beile Daishan sent someone to ask for an audience."
