Why is there such a strange thing like arresting soldiers who have made great achievements? Because the Song Dynasty was defeated and was begging for peace with the Jin Dynasty. At this juncture, the defenders adopted unconventional means to win the battle, which was considered by the pacifier
He provoked the Kingdom of Jin and sabotaged the peace talks between the two countries. In order to please the Jin people, he sent people to control Zhang Xiaowei first.
"The Kingdom of Jin is a feuding country. The peace between the two countries has not been concluded, and the imperial edict has not yet been issued. However, you have dedicated your merits to the enemy and flattered the enemy. If you dare to do this, believe it or not, I will chop off your head?" General Wu saw this ridiculous military order and kept it in his heart.
His anger broke out, he put his sword on the messenger's neck and said: "Whoever dares to touch him, first test whether my blade is sharp."
The envoy was so frightened that he quickly fled out of the military camp with his subordinates. The envoy escaped, but they did not dare to do anything for fear of forcing him to turn against the border guard. However, General Wu, Captain Zhang and others knew in their hearts that their dream of serving the country was
But it was shattered. Recording of merit and promotion must be reported to the superior for approval, but the superior is afraid of the Jin people like tigers. It would be a blessing not to capture you and sacrifice it to the Jin people. How dare you ask for credit and reward for you?
Two months later, news came from the DPRK that Han Yuzhou, the leader of the main war faction, was assassinated and his head was sent to the Kingdom of Jin. Shi Miyuan of the peace faction became prime minister and signed a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Jin. The condition for the truce between the two countries was compensation.
Silver, increased annual coins, and asked the Song Dynasty to reduce its military equipment.
"Begging for Peace"
The peace has just begun, but the discussion has not yet been concluded.
First get rid of yourself and flatter your enemies.
Only then did he eliminate the enemy chief on the battlefield,
But he brought the news into prison.
Loyal ministers always have meat on their plates,
Only then did I realize that King Yue was not an isolated case.
In an instant, everyone was furious,
It is known that the court is ruthless.
I want to serve my country with my life, but the imperial court has bent the knee to the enemy. As a soldier, there is nothing more humiliating than this. Faced with this situation, discharging your armor and returning home is the only and best choice. Zhang Xiaowei angrily said
He took off his armor and decided to return to the Immortal Palace and return to his old business of killing pigs.
Because of General Wu's integrity, he sent two years of military pay and silver reward intact to his wife. After returning home, he found that the house at home had been renovated, and the butcher shop had two more clerks, and his two sons had also arrived.
After attending the academy, she saw that her husband had returned safely. Although there were several stab wounds on his body, his hands and legs were not broken. The old wife cried with joy and said to him: "I heard that you disappeared a few months ago, and I thought I would never see him again."
Not with you, but now everything is fine. The family is reunited and can live peacefully. My two sons have entered the academy and the tutor said they are very smart. Maybe in a few years our family will have two talented people."
"Any scholar who comes out, whatever bad book he reads, will be killed for me. Kill the pig." Captain Zhang said angrily: "Read the Four Books and Five Classics to become a bird official, and then kneel down to the Jinren?"
He was angry, but he didn't really call his son back from the academy. He rushed to the butcher's shop angrily, picked up the butcher's knife and chopped the pork to vent his anger. When a customer came to the shop to buy meat, he greeted politely:
"Captain Zhang, please cut two pounds of ribs."
"What a bullshit captain, call me Zhang Butcher, Zhang Butcher, do you understand?" As he said this, he raised his knife and dropped it.
The story is about pork, but the dish ordered by the customer is crucian carp boiled with tofu. The fish is wild crucian carp caught in Weiqiang River. It is not big, only about seven taels, but because of the good water quality, it does not have any muddy smell. The tofu is
It is made with authentic brine. After being cooked for a long time, there will be many small holes, which can absorb the umami flavor. It is a good choice for making fish soup.
The umami flavor of the fish soup depends firstly on the quality of the fish itself, and secondly on time. Only when it is simmered over slow fire will all the umami flavors in the crucian carp meat be absorbed into the soup. An hour later, the crucian carp soup was served. The soup was as milky white as milk.
It looks very appetizing.
"Drunken Flower Yin, Crucian Carp Soup"
The water of Weiqiang River is as clear as it is, and the white crucian carp is like cast silver. The fishing pole of the fisherman is raised, the swim bladder floats and the swim bladder sinks, and the fish falls into the hands of the fisherman.
The two sides of the crucian carp oil pan are golden, and the green onion and ginger are stewed over a slow fire. The fish soup is soul-stirring, and the tofu is delicious. Who deserves it?
The guest drank the fish soup and asked: "What's wrong with this captain? You see, the deputy director of my unit has retired, and he likes the name of his old colleague, director."
"I have no desire to serve my country." Jin Huabin said: "Who can bear it if he kills the enemy bravely and is convicted instead? Calling him Captain Zhang, doesn't it remind him of the humiliating past during the Great Sanguan Pass?"
With his persistence, people in the town gradually got used to calling him Butcher Zhang. Since returning from the border, his ability to kill pigs and dogs has improved a lot. No matter how ferocious or big the dog is, as long as he stares at it, it will be killed.
He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He raised the knife and dropped it, and the bones and flesh were separated in a few strokes. This is especially true for pig killing. Another unique skill is to shave the pig's hair. In less than a minute of adding incense, the extremely difficult parts of the pig's head are removed.
All hair, including the hair, is shaved clean.
When the meat was sold out, he would heat up a pot of old wine and sit in the butcher's shop to drink by himself. There were always two cups on the table, as if there was someone sitting across from him. These two cups were given to him by General Wu.
Less than half a year after General Wu took off his armor, he passed away due to excessive grief and anger. Butcher Zhang was grateful for General Wu's kindness and always thought he was still alive and sat across from him, so he filled his glass every time he drank.
On this day, he filled up the wine according to the old rules, and when he was about to drink, the table suddenly shook and the wine glass rolled down. Fortunately, he was agile and turned around to catch the glass that was about to fall to the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat.
I have never been afraid of killing people on the battlefield. How could I be so scared over a wine glass? He was startled.
At this time, the sound of Amitayus Buddha was heard at the door. He looked up and saw that it was the fat man who saved him from trouble a year ago. He looked at him with a smile and said, "Idiot, have you figured it out now?"
He asked strangely: "What have you figured out?"
The fat man smiled but did not answer. After a while, he sang and left.
"Retribution"
Two glasses of wine, one heart,
Pay homage to old friends and think about the next life,
A butcher’s job is to kill pigs and sheep,
Only then can the people have a rich dining table.
Serve your family and country by killing people as a soldier,
There is no reason to go to hell.
Keeping one's heart is a great virtue,
There is a bright moon in the sky.
His mind was confused, and he vaguely remembered something. Oh, before he joined the army, there was a monk who looked like he talked about karma and retribution, saying that if you kill a pig, you will be reborn as a pig and be killed in the next life. I will reply to him.
It is said that killing is a virtue, and only then can you get blessings. If someone kills people to protect their family and country, should they go to hell or should they be reincarnated into a wealthy family?
He looked again at the tea cup that had shocked him just now, and seemed to have some realization in his heart. Soon he put down the butcher knife and went into the mountains to practice, without knowing where he ended up. Later, it was rumored that without Butcher Zhang, he would eat mixed pigs.
What he meant was that after he disappeared, the butchers in the future were not as good as him. The shaved pig hair was not clean, especially the hair on the pig's head, which was difficult to shave. There was no choice but to cook the hair and meat together and eat them together.
Many years later, a woodcutter saw him holding a wine flask and following a fat man holding a fan. He wanted to say hello to him, but he disappeared. A song came from the fog: It is not easy to meet an expert.
When will I return? I would like to follow you and say to myself that my residence is connected to the sea, especially the top peak of Penglai.
