MTL - Lovers Always on the Counterattack-Chapter 29
In Liang Yongshou's years, the king was incompetent, and he was proficient and proficient, which caused his government to be turbulent and the people would not talk about life.
White satin is just an ordinary farmer. He lives in a remote village far from Beijing. He grew up with ordinary farm children. The only difference is that he was clever from an early age. When other children were running around in the mountains, Bai Sang liked to lie outside the private window of the village's only scholar who had been a candidate for the talents in the village, and listened to him telling the "Three Character Classic" to other older children. "Hundred Family Names".
His family was poor. His mother still worked when she conceived in October. She accidentally damaged her body and failed to confine her confinement, which makes her very weak. The burden of the family's livelihood rests on the shoulders of Bai's father, and from time to time he goes to the town to grab medicine to raise the body for Bai's mother, so there is no spare money to send the white satin to the private school.
Fortunately, the talents in the village were kind-hearted. When they saw that Bai Sang was eager to learn and was smart and gave birth to Yu Xue, she did n’t have the heart to drive him away from the window. Instead, he opened his eyes and closed one eye and let it go. But I also learned a lot.
Even the name "white satin" was also helped by Xiucai. On the one hand, it compared the white satin with white tender skin, black hair like a satin, and a good-looking woman, and on the other hand, brocade, which is extremely valuable to farmers. Cloth is used as an metaphor, hoping that he will be rich in life in the future.
-Of course, compared to "white satin", parents and people in the same village are more accustomed to calling his nickname "dog". After all, the low name is good for feeding, and everyone has long been used to it.
Because there is nothing good about snacks, not even a few sips of breast milk, and it is not as lively as other farm children, so the body of white satin is not healthy, and it is thinner than a child of the same age. Circle, but no illness or disaster, it is already fortunate.
Before the age of seven, Bai Sang's life was still happy. Even if the days were poor, there were parents who loved him and was carefree. After seven years of age, however, things changed dramatically.
Although the king is faint, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it does not have much impact on the poor village where Bai Satin is located. However, the weakened national strength always attracts foreign enemies. Once the war breaks out, it will be the first to suffer The suffering has always been the common people.
In the fall of this year, North Hu made a big invasion and caught the beam off guard.
Emperor Liang's extravagant life and corrupt officials led to the emptiness of the state treasury. Even the soldiers and guards who guarded the borders often suffered deductions from military supplies. The beam guards used rusty weapons, ate moldy grains, had low morale, and lacked physical strength. They had no fighting power in front of the Beihu people who were fat and strong, and were aggressive.
Bian Guanshou fled hurriedly, and he hurried to Beijing for help, while the Beihu people were rushing to the south, all the way to the south, burning and looting without any help. In a short time, a large number of early harvested grains were accumulated, and the flames became stronger.
When the news reached the capital, Liang Emperor and his ministers were astonished. They hurriedly dispatched troops to fight against the invasion of the Beihu people. However, Liang Jun, who had been slack for a long time and did not have enough supplies, was still losing ground.
Every battle with the Beihu people will cause Liang Jun to lose a lot of staff and countless dead people. In order to organize a sufficient number of troops, Emperor Liang issued conscription orders to cities and counties.
All young laborers are forcibly enlisted, and the area closer to the border than white satin is the focus of recruitment. The entire village was crying and mourning, but it was impossible to stop the fierce soldiers.
White Satin's father also had to join the army, tearfully leaving his weak wife and young son, and was taken to the battlefield where he was bleeding and dying-even a trained regular army was defeated by the North What real use can Hu Biaohan's cavalry, like the farmer hurriedly dragged onto the battlefield? It is nothing more than a flesh and blood body, barely slowing down the pace of Beihu invasion.
The young and strong labors were taken away, and there were only distressed old women and young children in the whole village. This happened at a time when the autumn harvest was busy and the labor was in need, but after this calamity, let alone the village ’s farming land was mostly damaged. Even the remaining crops are difficult to converge in time.
If there is still a healthy young peasant woman in the family, she can still cope with it, but the white mother is weak, coupled with sorrow and despair, and she can't get sick after working hard for a few days, leaving the young white satin alone helpless against the farmland .
Although white satin is young, he already knows the world. He knows that his father is fierce and bad, and his mother is seriously ill. He has to bear the burden of supporting his family. Overnight, a child with a horn grows up quickly. And became the head of the family.
The young white satin was too fragile to cook the entire field alone, so he barely collected the grain this season, leaving part of it as his own ration, and another part of the money for his mother's medicine, he simply let the whole field be deserted. Then, he went to the old carpenter to apprentice him and learn some carpentry skills.
The old carpenter was dim, and basically could not do any elaborate work, so he moved back from the county to the village and played some poor furniture and tools for the villagers.
The old carpenter himself was a bit unable to open the pot. I didn't want to accept white satin, but I was surprised that white satin is very talented for carpentry. I can create things by imitating the real thing without the pointer of the old carpenter. .
After learning about the talent of white satin, the old carpenter suddenly changed his mind and quickly accepted the white satin as an apprentice, teaching him the skills of woodworking. Although he could not get much money from the old carpenter, he managed to eat and drink, saving One point can be brought back for Bai Mu to fill her belly, but the days have finally calmed down.
When white satin was ten years old, he had learned the craftsmanship of the old carpenter to the fullest, and was even blue. The tools and furniture he made were durable and durable; the carved patterns were vivid and exquisite. They were brought to the town to be sold by wealthy people, making the lives of mothers and sons of white satin and old carpenters much better.
It's really troublesome to bring the good utensils to the town every time to sell them. The old carpenter got an idea and wanted to go back to the county to open a wooden workshop. However, Bai Mu has been waiting for her husband to return, and she is unwilling to leave the village, and Bai Satin cannot leave her mother, she can only delay this matter.
——Until, the Beihu people were finally repelled.
Although the North Hu people are sturdy, they still have a shallow foundation after all, and they ca n’t stand the long-term war. The beams and the vastness of the population, and the large number of people, are what they call the “hundred-footed insects die but not stiff.” Beihu's invasion did not lose his national puppet.
Of course, this arduous victory cannot be separated from a young teenager named Zhou Mo.
This young general was a partial general in the border. When the host was frightened and fled by the North Hu people, the vice general did not dare to bear the responsibility, and the army was headless, he resolutely came forward and led his men and the North Hu People worked hard to win the time for the court to dispatch troops.
Later, in various battles, he fought bravely and killed the enemy, commanded arbitrarily, with outstanding military merits, and his ranks rose and rose. When the imperial court of the imperial court was available, Zhou Mo emerged and was commissioned by the imperial court. He was eventually appointed as General Pingbei, led the army to expel Hu Lu and regained a large area of lost land in the north.
After more than three years of hard work, the war finally came to an end, but most of the fighters who were drawn to the battlefield-including the father of White Satin-never returned.
Because there were too many war dead, the court could not even pay the pension, or was it paid, but it was deducted by the bureaucracy? General Zhou Mo could not see, and took out all of his family members, and caressed the families of the sacrificed soldiers, and the white satin family was one of them.
This money is not generous, but it is still a life-saving money for the civilians who have run out of water. When the mother Bai received the money from Li Li, her eyes suddenly turned black, but she quickly regained consciousness and accepted the reality calmly. She had already expected the death of her husband, but now it is just It was abandoning that last look.
After confirming that her husband would never return, Bai Mu decisively sold the field at home, followed the white satin and the old carpenter to move to the county seat, and set up a store with a pension and the silver money accumulated over the years.
White satin is doing carpentry, old carpenters are expanding their business around, and white mother is responsible for seeing the store. The three work together and work together, but the day is getting better. The only thing that makes white satin worry is the white mother's body. .
Soon, the superb craftsmanship of white satin was recognized by the town's people, gradually spreading fame, and earning more and more money, but unfortunately, the good times did not last long, the court finally managed to retreat Beihu, but did not After a few years of cessation, he began to be a demon again-this time, the victim was Pingbei General Zhou Mo, who was regarded as a protector by the people.
After expulsing the Beihu people, Zhou Mo stayed in the northern town to guard the border. The Beihu people were badly wounded by him, and he was afraid of his bravery. For years, he did not dare to raise troops again, and the court and Emperor Liang gradually forgotten. The days of being frightened by the Beihu people and being unable to sleep at night were once again corroded by ease and luxury.
Zhou Mo's reputation in the folk is very high, even known as the protector of the beam, and his achievements are praised all over the country, and in the north, only Zhou Mo is known, but Emperor Liang is not known.
This situation of high power and cover has always made Liang Emperor displeased and even guarded, not to mention that the side of the military power has always been a taboo for the monarch. Emperor Liang had to bear it out because he had been worried about the North Hu people's recidivism. He could only secretly promote the generals that he trusted and divided the military power in Zhou Mo's hands. When this dissatisfaction accumulates, the last fuse is left behind, which can cause a skyrocket.
This fuse was soon handed over to Emperor Liang—someone sued Zhou Mo in private to collude with the Beihu people, intending to rebel.
This secret letter was a forgery, because the general Pingbei, who was born with stubbornness and integrity, was not only a troubled heart of Emperor Liang, but also blocked the eyes of all the officials in North Korea.
For the issue of military concubine, he had violent clashes with the ministers who held the government several times in the court. After being spurred, the courtiers wanted to pull the general who was "heavy" with heavy soldiers. dismount. They used Liang Di's suspicion to falsify the secret letter, colluded with the Beihu people who also wanted to get rid of him, and then directed and performed this "good show" that framed loyalty.
When Emperor Liang saw the secret letter, he was furious. Regardless of whether he believed it or pushed the boat down the river, he finally decided to take this opportunity to solve this dreadful tiger that was sleeping on the side of his couch.
Soon after, Emperor Liang urgently recruited Zhou Mo to return to Beijing, and Zhou's strangeness was honest and straightforward. Although he was persuaded by his men to be careful about Liang Ditu ’s dead dog cooking, he still obeyed his dedication and obediently returned to Beijing.
He was then sentenced to imprisonment by Liang Emperor for treason.
Emperor Liang thought that everything had been properly arranged. After Zhou Mo was secretly executed, it became a boat. Coupled with the "conclusive evidence" of treason against the enemy, even if the people were dissatisfied, they could do nothing about it. Unexpectedly, this matter was taken out, and the same leaked a court official to forge a secret letter and framed the whole story.
Suddenly, Chao Chao folk was uproar. Wanmin petitioned for grievances against Zhou Mo, and some people in the court were dissatisfied with this and frequently pressured Emperor Liang.
Seeing that the deeds were revealed, even if Emperor Liang was unwilling, he could not just kill Zhou Mo arbitrarily, and had to continue to "completely investigate" the matter. He eventually disposed of an official who forged evidence and washed away the stain of treason on Zhou Mo.
But despite this, Liang Di, who had exposed himself to Zhou Mo's fears, would never dare to reuse it again, lest he really take the opportunity to rebel. So, Emperor Liang implied that the officials responsible for investigating the case fabricated a few unfounded guilts. Although the crime did not die, he also took the opportunity to exile him to the bitter cold, which was considered to have achieved his wish.
Compared with the Chao family extermination, the exile is already the greatest "kindness" of Emperor Liang, at least the people still survive. As for whether it can be sent to the exile in the end instead of some "accident" in the middle, it is another matter.
Zhou Mo's prison car imprisoned slowly, passing by the county seat where the white satin was located. The citizens of the city took to the streets spontaneously, tearfully seeing off the aggrieved general, and white satin was one of them-he still remembers that his father had served as a soldier under the opponent's arm, and he felt the same sent Pensions on their hands.
Zhou Mo, described on the prison car, was embarrassed, but his face was extremely calm and there was no defeat. He sat quietly in a wooden prison cage with a straight spine. He didn't seem to worry about his unknown future. Instead, he seemed to be just resting for a while, and soon he was able to fight again.
It can be said that Bai Sang grew up listening to the rumored deeds of the young general and was full of respect for Zhou Mo. Now, when he sees the other side when the hero is dead, he does not have any disappointment, but thinks that he The imaginary hero should look like this, no matter what the situation is, he will keep breaking that strong pride.
Perhaps Bai Shuang's eyes were too focused, Zhou Mo on the prison car suddenly turned his head, and accurately found him in the crowd and met his eyes.
At this moment, Bai Sang's heart leaped wildly, and he quickly turned his head to avoid the opponent's sight that seemed to reach the soul, trying to stabilize his helplessness. Then, when the white satin raised his head again, the prisoner car creaked away, leaving only a vague back in prison clothes, which made the white satin somewhat annoyed and somewhat lost.
He sighed inexplicably, white satin, holding the medicine for his mother, turned into his own shop, and began another day of ordinary labor.
