Chapter Twenty-Five: I'm Called a High Tree! I want money! I want to be a soldier!
Zhang Jingming, as Wang Zhongxian's most admired apprentice, had an accident among the three brothers, and Zhang Jingming was the only one who could say a few words.
Wang Zhongxian seemed to have been waiting at the gate for a long time, or when Zhang Jingming had only stepped in with half a foot, his voice would not have appeared in the ears of the three of them like a ghost.
Hearing Wang Zhongxian say this, Shen Qian and Zhu were both frightened. Two days ago, the two brothers secretly ran out at noon to drink some wine, and when they came back, they were found by Wang Zhongxian, and their buttocks were almost not broken.
Zhang Jingming smiled bitterly, didn't say a word, knelt on the ground with a thud, and then knocked his head three times.
Even Wang Zhongxian didn't expect such a change, and he didn't react at once. At this moment, I heard Zhang Jingming say in a deep voice: "It has been two years since the students came to Zhuliu Academy, and in the past two years, whether it is life or learning, Jingming has been taken care of by Mr. Jingming a lot.
To tell the truth, the students have signed up for the Zhenjiang Army today, and now they are already a member of the Zhenjiang Army. The student knows that the husband must be extremely angry with the student's behavior, and the teacher will beat or scold, and the student will have nothing to say.
It's just that Mr. Wang understands, and no matter where Jing Ming goes in the future, he will still be a disciple of Mr. ”
Hearing Zhang Jingming say this, Shen Qian and Zhu also knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed three times, and said in unison: "I am the same!" ”
Wang Zhongxian's face did not show surprise, but looked like I knew it was like this.
took two steps forward, wanting to reach out and help Zhang Jingming, who was kneeling outside the door, up, but finally stopped. Standing at the door, he whispered to the three people kneeling in front of him: "Jingming, the old man won't talk about you first."
Shenqian, Zhu, do you two know why the old man suddenly controlled the two of you strictly? ”
"This ......" the two looked at each other and replied, "I don't know, student." ”
Wang Zhongxian said with a smile: "Because the old man found out, the two of you are not so hopeless. At the end of last year, didn't the three of you make a big joke?
I wanted to go to the northwest to join your classmate Tangning, but I was robbed by bandits on the way. Fortunately, there are righteous people to save you, otherwise the lives of the three of you will not be guaranteed.
Originally, the old man thought that the two of you were hopeless, and there was no need to teach anymore. The old man doesn't want to care about what you are willing to do, as long as you study here honestly.
But after that incident, the old man realized that the two of you were not willing to fall, but still wanted to do something. That's why the old man restrained the two of you, otherwise, the old man has so many students, why do you think the two of you have been treated specially? ”
Shen Qian, Zhu and the others listened to Wang Zhongxian's words, and they were extremely grateful, they knew that Wang Zhongxian had this attitude towards them, why did the two of them see Wang Zhongxian like seeing a tiger's chicken?
Wang Zhongxian at this time, talent
Stretched out his hand to help Zhang Jingming up, and said with a smile: "Jingming, you are no longer a child." You must have learned a lot from your father's affairs.
The old man will not blame you, nor will he force you to stay with the old man and continue to study. It's just that the old man hopes that although you have entered the barracks, you must not forget to study.
Be sure to bring a few books with you, and read a page or two when you're okay and before bed.
If you finish reading it, just come to the old man and ask for it, as long as you open your mouth, the old man can lend you any book. ”
"Sir!" Zhang Jingming's tears overflowed uncontrollably, and he knelt on the ground again, hugging Wang Zhongxian's legs.
Wang Zhongxian's eyes were also a little moist, and he said with a wry smile: "Get up, get up quickly." What kind of body does a man like crying? ”
As he spoke, he dragged Zhang Jingming up, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "You have to keep in mind what the old man said." In the same way, what you said, the old man also remembered it.
No matter where you go, you are all my Wang Zhongxian's disciples, and you are all scholars who have gone out of Zhuliu Academy.
In the future, if your career is not smooth, you can come back to Zhuliu Academy to serve as a teacher, and Zhuliu Academy will always have a place for you. ”
"Sir!! Woowoo woo ......"
………………
At the end of May, the food and ordnance from the capital, escorted by Zhou Huai and 3,000 forbidden troops, arrived at the wharf in Runzhou along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
On the day of unloading, the vicinity of the dock was bustling. But most of the people stood far away, tiptoeing to watch the excitement. Because Zhang He sent a catcher, he told everyone as early as two days ago that idlers should not wait for half a step closer, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
The stupid son of the Chu boat head family was hit by an arrow on the shoulder and thigh because he was close to the unloading place, Chu was anxious and angry, he was anxious about the safety of his stupid son, and the officers and soldiers were not humane, but there was no way, who told the people to notify them two days ago?
At the beginning of June, a big platform was set up in the west of the city, which is the most lively in Runzhou City. On the platform sat a young officer with a ponytail, behind him were eight heavy wooden boxes, and around him stood a circle of officers and soldiers with sharp blades.
Although the weather was very hot, the platform had a canopy and a thick cloth was spread on the roof. In addition, there are more than 30 buckets of water, which are placed near the left.
As a result, the entire western part of the city has become the coolest place.
Some people passing by were thirsty and daring to beg for water, and the young officer, who seemed to be very talkative, only smiled and nodded, without the slightest hint of impatience.
In this way, after half a day, the young officer sitting on the platform finally stood up and said to the large number of people watching the excitement under the stage: "Hello everyone, I have been sitting here all morning, and you have been standing down all morning.
I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, aren't you tired? ”
"I'm tired, why aren't I tired, but there's a lively look, who is still tired." A Diao Min replied: "I said Master Jun, you should tell me, what are you doing here?" ”
"Good question!" Tang Ning applauded: "I think the fathers and villagers present must have the same problem as him."
Then I'll introduce myself first and let everyone know about me.
My name is Downing and I like to sing, dance, rap, basketball, ......"
"If you play again, get out! That's not how you play memes! ”
"Okay, okay...... Half a year ago, he participated in the Battle of Hundburg in Huanzhou. After this battle, I entered the capital to face the saint. Thanks to the love of the official family, I was given a position under the jurisdiction of the Zhenjiang Army.
I was very excited at first, but my colleagues sympathized with me. Later, I learned that Zhenjiang Army is not a number at all, it is our previous name in Runzhou.
I'm not a native of Runzhou, and I don't know much about these things. However, since the official family has given me this position, the profound meaning is self-evident. The official family asked me to form a new army in Runzhou.
That's why I built this platform...... Come! ”
As soon as Tang Ning clapped his hands, four or five men dressed as servants jumped up from the audience. Three times five divided by two, the boxes behind him were opened one by one, and the people all let out an exclamation.
The seven or eight wooden boxes contained nothing else, but they were all white and bright silver.
The sound of swallowing saliva came and went for a while, Tang Ning put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Our Zhenjiang Army needs soldiers now."
Do you want all this silver? Then join us! As long as you join and register your name on the Zhenjiang army roster, the first year's military salary, including the settling-in allowance, will be distributed on the spot with two ingots of silver per person! ”
"I'm coming! I got it! Some Diao people raised their hands and shouted: "I want to join!" Let me join! ”
"Good! This brother, please come to the stage to talk about it! Tang Ning applauded, thinking that this was a good man with great courage.
"May I ask this brother, what is your name?"
After the man came to the stage, Tang Ning took a half step back and asked with a smile.
The Diao people said in a vicious voice: "I am called Gao Shu!" I want to join the Zhenjiang Army! I want those two ingots! ”
"Good to say, good to say, come on!" Tang Ning clapped his hands again, and two more people jumped up from the audience carrying the table, and a reader with a pen and inkstone in both hands and a pamphlet under his arm.
After setting up the table, the scholar put down the pamphlet under his arm, put down the pen and inkstone, and beckoned to Diao Min Gaoshu: "Come to me, give me your place of origin, name, and your identity card." ”
