Chapter 4 Having friends from afar?
This is a letter written by Dolgon to Zhang Biwu, he shows off the achievements of breaking through the Great Wall from the wall ridge and Qingshankou, and the most important point is to explain to Zhang Biwu that it was Yue Tuo who killed Wu Aheng, and Yue Tuo was ordered by Huang Taiji to take Zhang Biwu's life, so Zhang Biwu must be careful. The main emphasis in the letter is that Zhang Biwu's life should be taken by him Dolgon, not Yue Tuo.
Zhang Biwu smiled, Yue Tuo had sent someone to write a war book before, of course he knew what he said. He said, "None of you can take my life!" He then burned the letter.
Zhang Biwu then wrote three letters, one to Qin Huaiyu in Guanyun Mountain, the other to Gu Jikun in Nanjing, and one to Xuan Jianhao in Guangxi. The three letters had just been written and sealed, and he had someone deliver them for him.
Not long after, the guards came to report that someone from outside had come to see them. Zhang Biwu couldn't help but be stunned, thinking: "Someone came to ask to see?" Who is it? The guard replied: "It's from Dongguan, Guangdong!" Defeat the British with Mr. Qian in the river of Guangzhou, etc.! ”
"Ahh Zhang Biwu was overjoyed, he knew that it must be Lin Xiangfeng and they were here! Isn't it? Lin Xiangfeng, and Cai Jiuyi are here, and there are actually Zhu Kezhen and Zhang Pan are here!
Zhang Biwu was overjoyed, and he ordered the guards to quickly invite Huang to come over, reunite with them, and set up a banquet to entertain them.
Lin Xiangfeng called Zhang Biwu with the well-made armor, and personally demonstrated that using knives and guns to cut, stab, squeeze, and stab the armor can't do anything.
Zhang Biwu was satisfied at first glance, but he was most satisfied and happiest, Lin Xiangfeng, they came to help him! Seeing that the war is coming, it is the greatest joy to have these veterans.
Lin Xiangfeng said: "Biwu, you wrote to us that the Tartars are about to invade, and we just want to take this opportunity to serve the country!" As soon as I arrived in the Central Plains, I heard that the Tartars had broken through! What do you think? When will you set aside the front line to go to the enemy? Killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is indispensable to us! ”
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Ha Lu! How can I be without you? I immediately went to report to the people of the Taiwan Producer and told them that you old heroes are here! The Lord of Taiwan will definitely entrust you with a heavy responsibility! ”
But as soon as Zhang Biwu thought of the unpredictable life and death of this war, he frowned and said: "This time the Tartars are menacing, it must be a bloody battle, life and death ......."
Before Zhang Biwu's words were finished, Lin Xiangfeng interrupted him and said, "Are we people who are afraid of death?" When I followed the Governor to fight in the north and south, I fought against the Tartars, how could I have fallen behind? In this life, I thought that there would be no chance to fight the Tartars again, but now there is a God-given opportunity, even if it is the same as Yuan Yupei, it is an honor! Ha Lu Ha! ”
Zhang Pan also said: "Yes! I want to follow Mao Dashuai to fight with the Tartars back then! Now I can't wait to go to war right away! My hands are itchy! Ha Lu Ha! ”
Zhu Kezhen said: "Ha Lu Ha! I gave up my duty as a garrison and fought against the Tartars with you, this is my wish for many years! I think I have always hoped that the general from Haiphong could become a general who went north to fight the Tartars, but I have never been able to do so. Today is finally satisfying! Not to mention giving up a garrison position, even if it is a general soldier or even a commander, there is no pity! ”
"Ha Lu Ha!" Zhang Biwu also laughed. Lin Xiangfeng and Cai Jiuyi first thanked Zhang Biwu again and again, what they said was that Zhang Biwu killed Wen Tiren, they hated Wen Tiren very much, and Zhang Biwu now avenged them.
The reason why Zhang Biwu avenged Lin Xiangfeng and them was because Wen Tiren and Liang Tingdong were very afraid that Yuan Chonghuan would be acquitted, and used the three crimes of killing Mao Wenlong, Shimi, and collaborating with the enemy, and used Xie Shangzheng, who was originally Yuan Chonghuan's subordinate, to expose Yuan Chonghuan and kill Yuan Chonghuan. For this reason, Wen Tiren and Liang Tingdong repeatedly asked Yuan Chonghuan to be killed.
Like Yushi Luo Wanjue, Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Qian Longxi, and the common people Cheng Gengsheng were put on death row, and Yuan Chonghuan was protected by Qian Longxi to Chongzhen. Yunnan Provincial Imperial Shi Mao Yujian was assigned to guard the border. So they hated Wen Tiren and Liang Tingdong to death, Liang Tingdong in the ninth year of Chongzhen because he was afraid of the Qing army and did not dare to engage in the war for fear of blame, took a small amount of rhubarb, and finally died of poisoning.
Wen Tiren was now caught by Zhang Biwu, and was executed by Ling Chi for the crime of collaborating with Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning, and his meat was also bought and devoured by the people of Beijing, which can be described as karma.
Lin Xiangfeng and Cai Jiuyi are naturally addicted to it, and they are cool! However, they also said that after Xie Shangzheng killed Yuan Chonghuan, he was once discovered by his conscience, and he developed to the point of refusing to take office, and was finally dismissed from office in April of the fifth year of Chongzhen.
But now that he has contacted Lin Xiangfeng and them again, he wants to fight Tartar with them to atone for his sins. But Lin Xiangfeng and they hated him to death, blamed him for being a traitor, and didn't even want to see him, how could they agree to let Xie Shangzheng and Lin Xiangfeng be together?
Zhang Biwu was silent when he heard this, he shook his head, in fact, he felt that it would be good if he could have a chance to give Xie Shangzheng.
When Zhang Biwu and them were ordered to rush to the aid of the capital garrison Changping, Zhang Biwu appointed Xie Shangzheng in the first battle, and it was Zhang Biwu's trust in Xie Shangzheng that made Zhang Biwu not die with Lu Xiangsheng and others by the Jiazhuang Artemisia Bridge in the future, thus rewriting history and allowing Lu Xiangsheng to survive this battle. Of course, this is a later story, and we will talk about it later.
The soldier who had been sent by Zhang Biwu to send three letters returned, and he said that he had a letter sent from Guanyun Mountain. The envelope was written with the word "Xi" in large letters.
When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was very happy, this was sent by Qin Huaiyu, but he couldn't guess why there would be a word "Xi" at the beginning of the envelope? He wanted to see what Qin Huaiyu said in the letter, and he didn't care about everyone's presence, and he was in the middle of the banquet again, so he immediately opened the letter and read it.
Zhang Biwu was ecstatic, he shouted: "Good! Great! "He jumped up, so happy, so excited!
Huang Qi looked at him and asked, "Biwu, why are you so happy?" Lin Xiangfeng said: "It must be related to the happy word on the envelope!" What's a good thing? ”
Zhang Biwu replied truthfully: "Huaiyu told me that she is pregnant!" The doctor said it's been more than two months! If you calculate it this way, it should be time for me to go back to Guanyun Mountain, ha, ha! That's great! I'm going to be a dad! "If people at the end of the Ming Dynasty would say to be a father, but Zhang Biwu is a crossing after all, he still habitually calls him a father.
Everyone immediately congratulated Zhang Biwu constantly, friends reunited after a long absence, and now there is great news that Zhang Biwu's wife is pregnant! Of course, they are also afraid that Zhang Biwu will say that being a father is different from the habits of their times, and they don't care.
Zhang Biwu was happy, but he suddenly thought of one thing! This time he wants to fight with Lu Xiangsheng against the Qing army, Lu Xiangsheng relies on him very much, he can't abandon Lu Xiangsheng and run away! But this time, Lu Xiangsheng's entire army was wiped out! There aren't many survivors! Could it be that this time, Zhang Biwu will also die here?
Zhang Biwu doesn't want to die! He wants to see Huaiyu give birth to their child safely, and he still has to wait by his wife's side! But now......
As Qin Huaiyu wrote in the letter, she and the child in her belly must see Zhang Biwu by her side! Even if it is a battle, you must survive and return to your wife and children!
Huang Qi saw Zhang Biwu frowning, he seemed to understand, and said: "Biwu, are you ......" After all, he is about to become a father, and if he wants to fight bloodily, it won't be done!
Lin Xiangfeng and the others came to kill the Tartars, but Zhang Biwu didn't go, so how could they do it?
Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth and said: "When the Shang Dynasty Taishi heard Zhong's words, he forgot his family with his body to promise the country, and the two armies faced each other and forgot his life. And General Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms also said that for the way of the general, he forgot his home when he was ordered; The two armies forgot their relatives before the battle; Assault charge and forget about it. As a general, I should do my duty! Don't be suspicious! ”
Hearing what Zhang Biwu said, Lin Xiangfeng and the others knew that Zhang Biwu had made up his mind.
After the banquet, Zhang Biwu hurriedly went to find Lu Xiangsheng and told Lu Xiangsheng that Lin Xiangfeng and Zhu Kezhen were here to vote, and also told Lu Xiangsheng about their glorious past.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was very happy, and he agreed to promote their officials, but because they first came, the people were not convinced, and Lu Xiangsheng gave them too many officials. It's too small, and it seems to have wronged them.
Zhang Biwu also explained that they thought that even if they were just to be a soldier, as long as they could fight the Tartars, they would be willing, and they didn't care about the level of their official position.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was very happy, and he was also very satisfied with Lin Xiangfeng and Zhu Kezhen's desire to serve the country, so he asked Lin Xiangfeng, Zhu Kezhen, and Zhang Pan to be the president for the time being, and then Cai Jiuyi to be the general manager.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhang Biwu again, and asked, "Biwu, what's wrong?" Look at the way you look......" Zhang Biwu thought about it, and felt that it was better not to tell Lu Xiangsheng that he was going to be a father, so he smiled and said, "Nothing! What the last general can say is that the last general should swear to serve the country! ”
Lu Xiangsheng was very satisfied with this: "Very good! Zhang Biwu retreated worriedly......
Gu Xian was waiting for him outside, because Zhang Biwu had told Gu Xian before that Zhang Biwu had something to look for him, so Gu Xian stepped forward and asked, "Biwu, what do you want to find me?" ”
Zhang Biwu said to Gu Xianxian: "Gu Xian, this time the people of Taiwan are more than lucky to enter Beijing!" Because Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian will harm him! I can conclude that this time, even if the people in Taiwan have the ability to turn things around, they will not be able to use it! I just want to save Taiwan-sama! When the time comes, I want to ask Gu Xian for help! I'm doing everything for the sake of Taiwan-sama! ”
But what Zhang Biwu said couldn't attract Gu Xian's attention, Gu Xian walked away, and just left a sentence: "Don't worry!" I don't think I heard what you said! I won't tell the second person! ”
Of course, Zhang Biwu also went to find Yang Lukai, the head of the pastor, and also touched the nail, which invisibly added to Zhang Biwu's melancholy, and he felt extremely confused about the road ahead......
