Chapter 886: Identity of a Drunkard, Tragic Past
"Come in!"
The door opened, and Pi Sheng walked in with the drunk man from before!
The drunk man glanced at Shen Tang indifferently, but his eyes were lifeless, as if they were dead!
Shen Tang looked up and down for a moment, and then suddenly said, "What are you wearing?"
As soon as he said this, Pi Sheng's expression tightened and he looked at the drunk man!
The soap silk shirt was the military uniform of the Song Dynasty, and ordinary people would never wear it.
Except for some miscellaneous armies, the imperial army of the Song Dynasty and the regular local armies all had uniform military uniforms, and the horse army and the infantry army were different.
For the infantry, there are spring and winter clothing. The spring clothing is soap silk shirts, white silk undershirts, white silk pants, violet headscarves, etc.! And the drunkard in front of him is wearing the exact same clothes. It is the most common soap silk shirt worn by the infantry of the Song Dynasty.
"Brother, are you a soldier too?
Who is your general?
Why did you end up like this? You don't have to embarrass our brothers!"
Pi Sheng spoke with a bit of joy and confusion.
There was a flash of brilliance in the drunk man's eyes, but it was fleeting!
"Thank you, sir, for giving me a full meal..." The drunkard said his thanks to Shen Tang in a hoarse voice, then turned around to leave.
"Pi Sheng, tell him who I am!"
Pi Sheng grabbed the drunkard's left arm and said, "You man, why are you so ignorant?
If you are really in the army, then haven’t you heard of Marshal Shen Tang?”
"Commander Shen Tang?"
The man opened his eyes wide and froze, and stopped walking!
Shen Tang defeated the Jin soldiers in Sizhou and defeated Tubo in Chengdu. He was almost the idol of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Even if he had never met him, he would be familiar with this name.
"Hmph! My lord is none other than the General who defeated Tubo in Chengdu! You guy, if you have anything to say, just tell us. Who doesn't know that our lord loves his soldiers like his sons and treats us as brothers?
Who can you show your cold face to?"
The drunk man turned around and looked at Shen Tang. He straightened up suddenly and shouted loudly, "Lin Damao, the former commander of the Jingmen Army, meet the general!"
He knelt down and prostrated. The empty sleeve on his right arm made his posture a bit weird, but the look on his face was still solemn and solemn!
This man's words made Shen Tang's expression change. Shen Tang was not unfamiliar with the name Jingmen Army! When the Chengdu Prefecture first fought, Shao Hongyuan led his troops but was trapped in Chengdu Prefecture. Later, the imperial court mobilized a large army to advance. Go to join Shao Hongyuan for support.
And part of this army was the Jingmen Army.
However, this army was ambushed as soon as it entered Chengdu Prefecture. It was surrounded and severely damaged by the Tubo army without having any effect at all.
"Are you injured after the battle in Chengdu Prefecture?"
Shen Tang looked at the man's empty right arm sleeve and said.
Hearing Shen Tang's question, a trace of sadness appeared on the man's face, "We were ordered to go to Chengdu Prefecture for support, but as soon as we entered Chengdu Prefecture, we were ambushed by Tubo! Tubo's 50,000 people condescendingly attacked us. We If we can't get out, all the brothers will die in battle! The villain is lucky, he broke his arm and fainted directly, and when he woke up, everyone was dead!"
"The villain was originally from Lianshui County, Xingyuan Prefecture. The team dispersed. After the villain recovered from his injuries, he begged all the way back to Xingyuan Prefecture!"
"Since you are from Lianshui County, why are you in Xingyuan Mansion and not back home?
Who else is there in your family?"
Facing these big-headed soldiers, Shen Tang subconsciously softened his tone.
"There is no one in the villain's family! The villain was originally an archer in the county, but was later captured by the Jingmen army and sent to the battlefield..." the man said bitterly.
This situation was not uncommon in the Song Dynasty. First of all, most of these local armies would have free pay! And once they went on an expedition, in order to make up for the shortfall, they would capture some strong men to make up the number.
In addition, when it comes time to fight to the death, these strong men will also become good soldiers! Use them to charge first and consume the enemy's weapons and strength, and you won't feel bad even if they all die.
"No..." Shen Tang stopped talking as soon as he started to speak! Originally, he wanted to ask, since he was a wounded soldier returning home, he needed some money.
However, the Jingmen Army no longer exists. I'm afraid Lin Damao is just a number on the death roll. How can there be any money?
"Since you are from Lianshui County, why are you staying in Xingyuan Mansion? Even if you don't have family, there are always blind dates in the village! I heard that you have been wandering around Xingyuan Mansion for quite a while..."
"Villain... villain..." Lin Damao opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
"Lin Damao, you are more trustworthy than me!"
Shen Tang said harmoniously.
"You can trust me, the villain!"
"Okay, in that case, if you have anything to say, just say it! You are a soldier of the Song Dynasty, and I am your superior! No matter what happens, I am always here!"
Shen Tang drank loudly.
When Lin Damao heard this, his body suddenly trembled, and the hard-blooded man had tears rolling down his eyes!
Lin Damao’s story is not unusual, and even sounds a bit vulgar, because there are countless similar things in biographies and unofficial histories! In Liujia Village, Lianshui County, Lin Damao had a childhood sweetheart! This girl’s name was Liu Xinyue !Although Lin Damao is only one person, he is diligent in taking over the throne on weekdays, and the young man has an excellent reputation among the neighbors. Therefore, Liu Xinyue's parents do not object to some things between the two.
Originally, the two of them had reached the age of discussing marriage, and Lin Damao had already found a matchmaker to propose marriage.
However, during the great battle in Chengdu, he was directly captured as a young man by the Jingmen army as they were crossing the border.
The two agreed to get married after Lin Damao came back alive from the battlefield.
Lin Damao broke his arm and survived a near death! Originally, he didn't want to go back.
Because he has become a useless person! Even if he goes back, what will happen?
But how can I be willing to go back if I don’t?
"Brother Da Mao, I have embroidered the wedding dress at home and am waiting for you to come back and marry me!"
This was what Liu Xinyue told him personally before he left!
He still went back, and he made up his mind. If Liu Xinyue continued to agree to marry him, even if he didn't want to take this life, he would still make Liu Xinyue happy in this life. If Liu Xinyue regretted it, he would never do it. There are complaints.
He is a useless person, so what right does he have to force himself?
However, when he returned to Liujia Village, he received news that made him unbelievable! Liu Xinyue was already married! The sixth concubine of the magistrate of Lianshui County!
He didn't believe it, he felt that Liu Xinyue was threatened! So, he grabbed a knife and gritted his teeth and rushed to the county government office! He wanted an explanation, or just an answer!
