Chapter 21: The Street Purification Effect of Wu Shengjun
Yun Zheng was dispatching troops and generals in Wu Sheng's army, and Lu Qingqing was also commanding the servants at the Hou Mansion outside Zhuque Gate to clean the room and prepare food and wine. More than two hundred servants were simply not enough to handle.
"In the atrium, be careful with the bamboo behind the small window in the atrium. The Marquis likes bamboo the most. He took off the few pieces of bamboo that were used for viewing. Be careful with your skin!"
"Old Liao, Old Liao, you go to Zhuangzi outside the city and see if Old Chen and the others are ready. The soldiers of Jiaziying are ready to retire and join our family as generals. They are all heroes, so we don't dare to neglect them.
I will prepare the banquet with all my strength. The wine will be from our house, and the food will be cooked in the kitchen at home. It doesn’t matter from the master’s side, as long as the bacon is here.”
Yun Er looked at his busy sister-in-law, taking her niece off her neck and holding her in her arms, saying, "Didn't Honglu Temple send someone here? Someone from the palace also came, why are you going to all this trouble?"
Seeing Yun Erlu's light face, his face turned dark, and he said irritably: "Go aside, you don't need to worry about things in the inner house. When your eldest brother comes back, we can settle the accounts carefully. Even if you don't like the Cao family's daughter, you don't need to worry about it."
You can't pour ink on other people's skirts, and Su Shi, your brother will see how he deals with you when he comes back."
Yun Er looked at his niece without caring at all and said: "The twelve-year-old girl painted her face to look like a ghost. I added some ink to her and it looked more like it. I like bacon, and no one else wants it except her."
Our little girl doesn’t dare to imitate that woman and paint her face.”
Su Shi stretched and walked out of the room and asked, "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry. My brother is back today and I want to eat croquettes."
Bacon, who was hiding in the kitchen, saw that Lu Qingqing was showing signs of attack again, so he quickly dragged Yun Er and Su Shi into his small kitchen, where they were muttering without knowing what they were talking about.
Ge Qiuyan came over with a stack of greeting cards and said: "Sister, I have received greeting cards from sixteen families, and I can't refuse them. What do you think I should do?"
Lu Qingqing took the greeting card, patted his forehead gently with his hand and said: "Master, when I come home this time, can't these people let me live in peace for a few days? Like Puwang's message, it's not right for us to go, and it's not right if we don't go, these people
He knows how to cause problems for our family."
After Ge Qiuyan sent all the servants and maids outside, he said: "You said yesterday that this was a post to force the master to express his position, and it is not easy for us to deal with it. The officials of the mansion are still waiting for a reply in the back hall.
"
Lu Qingqing sighed and returned to the living room, sat down and pointed at the invitations with her fingers: "My husband's letter home said one thing about this matter, go to hell!
It can be seen that the master is also forced to use vulgar words. With his temper, I don’t know how many grievances he has suffered. I originally wanted to refuse them all, but later I felt that it was inappropriate. The master has returned from a victory and is on the cusp of the storm. Let’s
I have just arrived in the capital, so it is too early to choose which side to take on this matter. You need to see it clearly.
Forget it, just tell the housekeepers that the master has been exhausted from the army and fell ill before he got home. He cannot see guests. If he is rude, he will personally come to apologize. Although it is unreasonable, there is nothing you can do about it. You can't do it all at once.
Are you going to offend all the powerful people in Tokyo? At this time, we can only use the Second Master to stop us."
Ge Qiuyan said with a bitter face: "Both the two masters in our family have a good temper. There is one who is willing to bow his head and is the younger one. The master is better. It will be difficult for you to ask the second master to speak softly. If the second master
It would be ugly to be provoked by those old foxes and fall out on the spot."
Lu Qingqing clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Let the second master go. He is very smart. Apart from being serious about bacon, there is no one smarter than the second master in Tokyo. Even if he gets angry on the spot, it is better than ignoring him."
Do not ask."
After arranging the family affairs, the shopkeeper of the Liang Family Old Store came to invite his wife to watch the Wu Shengjun review on the second floor of the Liang Family Old Store. It is very close to Jinmingchi and has a wide view. It is the best place in Tokyo to watch the Jinmingchi Ceremony every year.
place.
When approaching the capital, Wu Sheng's army had to stop every thirty miles and send envoys every fifteen miles. The messenger in colorful clothes would put a flag on his back and write a letter for fifteen miles or thirty miles. He would have to run around the city for a week.
, inform everyone that the army is coming.
When a courier in colorful clothes ran into Tokyo carrying a flag of fifteen miles, Lijingmen had been blocked, and no other people were allowed to move around. The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had one sentry every five steps and one post every ten steps.
Standing on both sides of the street with long guns in their hands, the sixteen trumpeters on the Lijingmen Gate Tower moved their cheeks together and blew the huge horns. The deep sound of "Du-Du" was spread far away. This is the famous Huijun
Number.
In order to create momentum, Yun Zheng deliberately placed the painted war elephants in the first group. The sound of the war elephants' shaking footsteps made Yun Zheng very satisfied. As for the one standing on the back of the same war elephant as Yun Zheng
Shi Zhongxin, followed by Gu Panshengwei, was wearing the ancestral bright armor. When illuminated by the sun, he looked like a real god of war. Yun Zheng, who was covered in black armor, looked more like a supporting character.
Before the people arrived, the ground began to tremble. After hearing a response from the horn, the people of Tokyo found that the ground beneath their feet began to shake. This was the result of Yun Zheng deliberately driving the elephants to run away.
When they arrived outside the city gate, the soldiers of the Wusheng Army who were acting as elephant slaves stopped the elephants. The people in Tokyo found that the earth no longer shook, but there was flying dust blown in by the wind at the city gate. For a while, everyone was disgraced.
A loud-voiced ceremonial officer shouted the emperor's order to allow Wu Sheng's army to enter the city. The ceremonial officer tried his best to finish shouting these words. When he saw the army moving, he sat down on the ground. The scene outside the city was really terrifying.
.
In the anticipation of Tokyoites, the first to enter the city were seven or eight large carts, filled with human heads pickled in lime, some with open mouths, some with a pair of black eyes, and some with strange expressions.
The smiling heads, these are the real criminals in the Nong Zhigao case. They were all brought back from Guangnan by Yun Zheng to be inspected by the emperor. Only after the emperor nodded, could these heads be destroyed. This was the reason why the army went out to quell the rebellion.
Evidence is indispensable.
Tokyoites, who were already covered in dust, never expected that the first thing they saw would be a human head with a strong stench. Many people were just about to bend over and vomit, when a huge monster raised its long nose and screamed.
After entering the city gate, a man's head was knocked off the carriage and fell to the ground. He was crushed flat by the foot of a monster with huge flashing ears. The long-rotted brains inside were splashed everywhere. Seeing this scene,
The common people in Tokyo who lived in a peaceful and prosperous age could no longer bear the fear in their hearts, "Long-nosed bull demon!" Someone shouted, and the rest of the people fled in all directions, leaving countless shoes and debris scattered on the ground.
They cried and crawled into nearby houses, waiting for their fate in fear.
War elephants came in one after another from the city gate holes, carrying dust all over the sky like clouds and mist...
Yun Zheng looked at the empty city with a sad look in his eyes. When the sun set over the city decades later, they still had not learned how to resist.
The heavily armed elephants marched through the Song Dynasty, a city of millions of people, and had the effect of cleaning the streets in the first moment. The flowers and fruits Shi Zhongxin imagined did not fall, and the people of Tokyo greeted him with fear.
The battle-hardened lion.
The war elephant slowed down its pace, and its thick limbs clung to the ground like a marching war drum! Every thump, thump, thump seemed to hit the fragile hearts of Tokyoites.
But there are also brave ones. Although it is far away from the street, standing there is considered very courageous. An old scholar looked at the army passing in front of him and murmured to himself: "Can this be the real
The glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
"Brother Jiexiu, only now do I believe that this army is indeed capable of raiding the enemy's capital from thousands of miles away and capturing the thief chief. The war elephants in the front are just that. The cavalry in the back is not inferior to the cavalry I saw in Xixia. The real
He is the master of tiger and wolf!"
Another old Confucian beside him looked greedily at the army in front of him, as if he wanted to remember the faces of everyone in the team.
"The young man under Yun Zishuai's banner must be Yun Zheng and Yun Changsheng, right? He does look a bit like a famous general, but why does Mr. Shi Zhongxin shamelessly climb on the war elephant and embarrass himself in front of the world?"
"The thieves head in front, the brave beasts follow, and the iron cavalry follows behind. Only then can we know the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The world's heroic soldiers, this is the ultimate!'
"Jun Shi, how do these people compare with the Liao army you and Fu Bi saw in Hebei?"
"There are already examples outside the Zhuque Sect, so why should someone say it again? The death of the Xixia Condor Shooter in the Zhuque Sect can already explain the root cause. This trip was worthwhile. I thought it was still a military farce. Unexpectedly, I saw the most powerful person in the Song Dynasty.
side."
"Uncle Yong, although the war elephants are terrifying and mighty, I believe that the elite cavalry behind them are the main force of this army. Look at those people controlling the horses with their legs, with one hand on the crossbow and the other on the hilt.
It can be seen that the equestrian skills are excellent. The horse is not as beautiful as the Japanese army's war horse, with more mottled scars. The knight's armor is not as bright as the Japanese army's, but it is covered with marks of swords, axes and chisels. Shi Zhongxin's ancestral armor and
Compared with these soldiers, they are just ridiculous.
Hahaha, I think of it as a song."
"Haha, I treat it as a biography!"
"How could such a grand event be without this wonderful pen that I have written in my heart? I have a great master in my heart. I will definitely have a masterpiece to keep my heart in mind when I go back. It's just a bit disappointing not to see the people throwing fruits and flowers."
"Brother Long Huai, this army is an important weapon of the country. It is not just a plaything for the women of the Japanese army. When the army goes out, ghosts and gods shun anything. How can it be compared with the daily review..."
Wherever Wu Shengjun went, the people there ran away. Firstly, the smell of the heads was too bad, and secondly, the paint-splattered war elephants were so terrifying that they couldn't think of looking at each other. Those who originally wanted to spit
These soldiers were slobbery and slobbery. They lay trembling behind the low wall and peeked at the army in fear. They felt their mouths were dry because they dared to show the slightest disrespect. (To be continued)
