Chapter 20 Hedong Nu Hexi Capture
The mountain temple is quite large, but it is abandoned, and a small part of the temple has collapsed.
The clay statue is only half left, and I don't know what it is enshrined.
The people of the chariot and horse walk are quite familiar with this mountain temple, and they think that they used to stop here often.
The heavy rain forced all the vehicles on the road to stop, and some chose to go to the mountain temple with the people of the carriage to avoid the rain, while others stopped on the spot and hid in the carriage to avoid the rain.
There were about forty or fifty people in the temple, and the largest number was the group of the Wang family car dealer where the good ministers were located.
Everyone looked for a place in the temple, either standing or sitting, frowning and looking at the heavy rain outside.
I don't know when the rain will fall, and whether the road will be muddy again after the rain, delaying the trip.
When the driver of Liangchen's carriage saw that the guests were wet, he called a companion, found some wood and branches in the temple, and lit a fire.
After the fire was lit, many people hurriedly gathered around to bake the clothes on their bodies.
Because of the inconvenience, the female guest could only silently endure the wetness on her body.
Although it was June, it rained suddenly, and in addition to cooling down, there was still a cold.
The girl who had made Xu Xianchun a little depressed was now blue from the cold, and her mother Chen held her in her arms, and someone took out a drape from the bag to protect her mother and her mother.
Liangchen was also wet, but he didn't want to go over to roast the fire because there were too many people.
Xu Xianchun has been standing at the door, he is more anxious than everyone else, there are still twelve days before the martial arts examination, if he can't arrive on the exam day, he can only wait three years later.
The family is so opposed, if you miss it, I am afraid that after three years, there will be no chance. It's just that the heavens are not beautiful, and it is not human to save it, even if Xu Xianchun is in a hurry, he can only be patient, and pray that the road ahead will not be blocked by rockslides due to heavy rain.
From time to time, people go to the door to check the rain outside, and all of them sigh and sigh.
When you go out, you are most afraid of wind and rain.
The rain was so fierce that it would be impossible to stop for a while.
Gradually, the people who were standing sat down.
There were no stools in the temple for everyone to sit on, so they all sat on the ground, and everyone chatted with each other to pass the time.
The people who baked the fire were also changed twice, and the steward of the carriage and horse shop saw that the girl was still trembling in her mother's arms, and was worried that she would not get a fever from the cold, so he asked everyone to give up a seat for the two of them to bake the fire.
After moving his daughter to the fire, Chen thanked everyone. Someone saw that it was not easy for her mother and daughter, so they asked Chen what he was doing in the capital.
Chen hesitated a little and didn't want to say anything. When the person who asked saw it, he didn't want to ask again, and he smiled and was about to step aside and talk to his companion. At this time, the girl said: "My mother took me to the capital to find my father." ”
"Little girl, what is your father doing in the capital, what is his name, maybe I know him." The person who asked him was a middle-aged man, and when he saw that the girl was cute, he couldn't help but tease.
"My father's name is Gao Qiqian, what is he doing? I, I don't know—" The girl looked up at her mother, trying to tell her what her father did.
Chen's face was slightly hot, he lowered his head, and whispered, "My husband is doing some small business in the capital." ”
"Oh."
The middle-aged man nodded.
Seeing him nodding, the girl hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you know my father?" ”
"Hehe, I don't know." The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, he didn't want to lie to this little girl.
The girl was a little disappointed, but Chen hurriedly held her in his arms and whispered something in his ear. When the girl heard this, she immediately rejoiced again.
When everyone in the audience saw it, they all smiled.
Not far away, Wei Liangchen couldn't help but laugh.
High dive?
Interesting, interesting...
Liangchen recorded the appearance of this mother and son in his heart, I hope that what this mother and daughter are looking for is really the big crotch of the Chongzhen period.
The fat man saw that the rain would not stop, and took out the horse crane again, and Zhang Cha, who was obsessed with the ghost and thought of turning the book, took the initiative to help pull people, and soon, the game was played.
Liangchen was idle, so he wanted to go over to see what the fat man was doing, but a small voice came from his ear: "A bunch of rough people, they know how to play money." Turning his head, he saw that it was Lang Jun, a young man who was walking with Zhang Bing, who said this.
Liangchen is a little funny, what is in the way of you when people play cards, it's really a dog with a mouse and a nosy.
Wei Liangchen was not the only one who heard the young man speak, but also Xu Xianchun. But Xu Xianchun ignored it and didn't even glance at the young man.
The young man was talking to Zhang Bing sideways, and he didn't notice that Wei Liangchen was looking at him.
Zhang Bing saw Liangchen staring at them, and felt that this young man was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. But he didn't have any impression, so he didn't care, and said to the young man next to him with a smile: "What does it matter to you about other people's affairs, you can read your books." ”
The young man nodded slightly, but did not immediately take out the book to read, but took out a newspaper, pointed to the above message and said to Zhang Bing: "If this is urgent, it will help thistle, and if it is urgent, it will help Liao. ”
Di Bao is a copy of the military and policy issued in the Ming Dynasty, similar to the newspaper of later generations, issued layer by layer, under the supervision of the Ministry of War.
The public can buy the newspaper by the government to read it to know the world's major events. In some places, special personnel were arranged to read out the newspaper in the traffic arteries and prosperous places in the market, so that the people could hear about it.
The newspaper in the hand of the young man was bought by his family from the sixth house in the county. However, the events recorded in the newspaper are generally a month or two ago, and are not instant information. In the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to do the things of the day, and the world knew about it on the same day.
Zhang Bing didn't read much when he was at home, and after entering the palace, in order to climb up, he competed with the ruthless people who came out of the inner study hall, but he read with others with his heart and recognized a lot of words. The official documents of the treasure money division can be disposed of by themselves, and of course the things in the newspaper can be understood.
After a cursory glance at the news that the young man said, Zhang Bing nodded secretly, he had heard about this matter when he was in Beijing.
Last month, Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, sent a message to Li Hualong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, saying that the biggest enemy in Liaodong at present was the Jianzhou Jurchen. ”
The so-called Hedong and Hexi are bounded by the Sancha River in Liaodong. There are slaves (Jurchens) in the east of the river, and captives (Mongolians) in the west of the river.
Xiong Tingbi said to the imperial court that the slave trouble in Hedong is now more serious than that in Hexi, and that the Ming army is isolated in Liaoyang, Shenyang, Tieling and other places in Hedong, and it is difficult to echo each other.
If not, heavy troops should be stationed at Shanhaiguan as a mobile elite force shared by Jizhou Town and Liaodong Town.
Xiong Tingbi, as the governor of Liaodong, wrote to the imperial court to have his own merits, but this Chen was not adopted by the Ministry of War, because Xiong's plan cost too much money, enough to cost more than 300,000 taels of silver. Now that the treasury has gone through three major levies, how can there be money for Xiong Tingbi to implement this plan.
Moreover, the Ministry of War did not agree with Xiong Tingbi's opinion, they thought that the slaves in Hedong were just trivial matters, and the Jurchens were attacking each other internally, and it was difficult to become a climate. As long as the imperial court continues to balance them, the great trouble is still the Mongols in Hexi.
The military department suppressed this and didn't take it seriously. The car driving department logged in to the newspaper as usual, so that people in the world only learned about the matter, but their opinions differed.
Zhang Bing didn't expect that this young man who was going to study in the capital Guozijian was still interested in side affairs, and he was a little funny.
Just as he was about to say a few words casually, the young man was confused, but in the wind and rain, several figures appeared in front of everyone.
Those figures are very eye-catching, because they are the brocade guards who are "holding embroidered spring knives and wearing flying fish suits".
