The army was about to set off tomorrow, and Zhang Qian, who didn't know at this time that he might have mistaken his intentions, arranged for the two women to stay with Huang Qiong in his bedroom. In order to boost morale, after leaving Huanzhou Prison, he visited the military camps inside and outside Huanzhou City to personally check the final preparations before the war. Today, the food in the army, the morale of the soldiers, the making of dry food, the polishing of swords and guns, and the maintenance of war horses.
When it was time for dinner, Huang Qiong simply went directly to the army and had a big pot meal with all the soldiers. Large pieces of beef and mutton stewed with radish were served with wheat cakes and millet porridge. Although it looked very rough, Huang Qiong still enjoyed it. When I saw this British king, he had almost no pretensions, and he even got along well with ordinary soldiers. The soldiers, who had been somewhat depressed before the war, gradually relaxed.
In Du She's military camp, he saw that in order to train the Longyou Guards in the past few days, he saw that he had allocated two thousand imperial guards to him. As for Du She who looked tired, Huang Qiong patted his shoulder speechlessly as an encouragement to him. And Huang Qiong knew that he could actually do more in this matter. But there are some things that he knows better than to interfere too deeply.
There are military rules in the army. Even if I am the real commander, I cannot interfere too much. If Du She wants to go further, there are some things he must go through. After two days of contact, Huang Qiong discovered that Du She was a talent. You need to be able and capable, and you need to be talented and talented. He is definitely not the kind of person who is flashy and full of lies. The most important thing is that he has no arrogance.
But maybe due to the different status, some aspects are still lacking and need to be polished. Huang Qiong handed over the thousands of guardsmen and two thousand imperial guardsmen into his hands, just to train him. Otherwise, these thousands of soldiers would almost become military ruffians now, and Huang Qiong would rather leave them behind than take them to the battlefield.
Du She, who felt the King of England's hand on his shoulder with a tired look on his face, could only smile bitterly: "It makes the prince laugh. He was once considered brave and good at fighting among the local guards. The Longyou Guard Army has been reduced to this state in recent years, with lax military discipline, no combat effectiveness, and being as tattered as a group of beggars, which the general never expected."
"Speaking of which, I am also quite ashamed. Since Li Jiedu took office, I was not the same person as him. Therefore, not long after he took office, I, the deputy envoy, was turned into a decoration by him. After he failed to bribe the minister, he was afraid that the minister would go to Beijing to complain about his imperial status. Therefore, not only was the minister unable to touch a hair in military affairs, he also ordered the minister not to go down to the military camps in various states."
"The military power of Beibo, which was originally in charge of the minister, was also set up as a decoration by him. In recent years, because the minister knew that he had offended him, and the entire Longyou Jiedushi Department, almost everyone was bribed by him and sat down with him to share the spoils. Those officials. Therefore, they have always been cautious. But they never expected that in just a few years, the Longyou Guards would be completely depleted by him. "
"Fortunately, he came here this time, probably to save his life, so he brought with him the troops and horses of the Biaoying camp directly under his Jiedushi envoy, as well as the troops and horses of the Lintao Prefecture's Army and Horse Department. Although the military discipline of these guards has been relaxed a bit, how much combat power they have There are still some. But even so, arranging these thousands of troops and horses made me feel extremely tired in just two days, even more tiring than fighting on the battlefield."
Listening to the bitterness in Du She's tone when he said these words. Knowing that he had been tortured for the past two days, he was probably a bit unbearable. Huang Qiong could only pat him on the shoulder encouragingly: "There is no way that the clouds will eventually cover the sun, and the spring buds will bloom after the harsh winter. As long as we persevere and keep the faith in our hearts, we will come forward one day. You have done what you have done Very good, don’t blame yourself too much.”
Because it had been decided that the left army would move together, Huang Qiong did not stay with Du She for much longer. After giving Du She some encouragement, Huang Qiong left Du She. As for Du She, he is now the acting envoy of Longyou, so he still has to rely on himself for these matters. People under the age of forty still have a certain degree of plasticity. Only if you can work it out can you become something great, right?
Huang Qiong stayed in the military camp and returned to the camp in Xu. After returning to the camp, Huang Qiong took a bath first. Because he knew that he wouldn't know when he would want to take a bath again from tomorrow. Huang Qiong, who was somewhat mysophobic, thought of taking a hot bath before setting off. But when he finished bathing and returned to his bedroom, Huang Qiong was shocked that there were two more women in his bedroom.
Huang Qiong frowned slightly when he saw the two ladies of the Li family who were sitting there in the bedroom tremblingly. After seeing Huang Qiong come in, the faces of the two ladies of the Li family became even paler. I knew it was probably Zhang Qian who had obviously misunderstood what he meant. Although I was somewhat attracted to these two mature and beautiful women at the time, I actually had no such intention or thought in my heart.
Huang Qiong didn't want to leave words to others at this time, let alone take advantage of others' danger at this time. Although I also think about it in my heart, after all, is it the prime of life? Especially this time when Longyou suppressed the rebellion, he knew that he could not be defeated in this battle. In fact, his psychological pressure was far greater than that of those soldiers. Finding a few women to help him relax was always a way to relieve stress for him.
Even though Huang Qiong was longing for it in his heart, he ignored the two girls in the bedroom and ordered someone to tidy up another bedroom for him. But just when Huang Qiong turned to leave, the young lady of the Li family seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stood up and slowly unbuttoned her clothes. Her mother-in-law wanted to grab her hand and stop her, but she firmly pulled her away.
As her hand loosened, the last piece of trousers slipped off. A plump and graceful figure was displayed in front of Huang Qiong. The lively scene in front of him made Huang Qiong, who had not known the taste of meat for many days, feel a little anxious in his heart. But what the woman said next made Huang Qiong lose all interest: "Your Majesty, the sinful woman knows that her father has committed a heinous crime, so she does not ask for mercy from Your Majesty."
"I don't even ask the prince to keep my father's family property and official position. I just ask the prince to be merciful and spare my father's life so that he can have a good death. My father himself is already sixty years old and is already in his dying years. Even if the prince can If he is spared, he will not live for many years. Even if the prince raises his hand to show mercy and spares his life, it will definitely not affect the prince's grand plan. "
"It's not that the guilty woman doesn't know the laws of the country, and she knows that her father is guilty but ignores the laws of the country, and begs you to let him go. It's that the guilty woman really can't just watch her father, and at this age, she still pokes him in the neck. The guilty woman's biological father was back then. I offended the king of Huaiyang County, and the whole family was executed. It was the sinful woman’s biological father who was a classmate at that time, and who had just passed the imperial examination, and risked the same fate as the Hong family. "
"They spent the little money they had at home and sold dozens of acres of high-quality paddy fields in their hometown. They also spent a lot of money to redeem the guilty woman who was only five years old from the hands of the jailer. The Hong family couple single-handedly raised the guilty woman and treated her as their own. My daughter loves me even more than my younger brothers and sisters. I am afraid of getting cold when it is cold, and I am afraid of being hungry when it is late. It is said that it is better to cultivate kindness than to give it, and this sinful woman has to repay her kindness. "
"As long as the prince agrees to the sinful woman's small request, the sinful woman will serve the prince well today. Prince, no matter how you want to torment the sinful woman today, the sinful woman will never spoil the prince's interest. That's it, that's it. ." After all, she is a daughter of an official and comes from a noble family. Even if she does such a thing regardless of her shyness for a moment, it is still difficult for this young lady of the Hong family to say some things.
He looked at the woman who was wearing nothing at this time, standing in front of him with a pleading look on his face, begging him to spare his father's life. Huang Qiong didn't say anything, he didn't make any moves, and he didn't pounce on him like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. Instead, he picked up the clothes on the ground and gently draped them on her body, barely covering her lively face, and then sighed softly.
"You are a good daughter, and a filial daughter. But what this king has to face is not just you, but also all the civil and military officials in the world, and the people in the world. The laws of the court, It is also a law made for everyone in the world, not just for certain people. I have no right and will not excuse anyone who commits a crime, let alone interfere with Yousi."
"As for what your father's fate will be, it depends on the outcome of the three-division trial. Whatever the three-division judges him guilty of, that is the crime. As for me, I will never interfere. As the saying goes, what is on the feet is what is done. You all walked away on your own, and your father should have known this result as early as the moment he stretched out his hand. No matter what the final result is, it is his own fault. "
Having said this, Huang Qiong looked over there again, with the same pleading look on her face, hoping that Huang Qiong could let go of Mrs. Li, her family member. He wanted to say something, but after a slight hesitation, he finally said nothing. After telling the two girls to have a good rest, they turned around and left their bedroom without any hesitation. As for the second daughter, Huang Qiong never looked back, even once.
After walking out of his bedroom, Huang Qiong simply took his guards to Du She's military camp. The next day, Huang Qiong got up very early. After a simple breakfast, Huang Qiong and Du She led the Left Route Army to the outside of Huanzhou City, where the fallen soldiers were buried, and met with the other two Route Army. . At this time, all the troops in Huanzhou were lined up outside the gate of Huanzhou City.
After Huang Qiong and the Zuo Route Army arrived, He Yuanfeng, who had arrived in advance, immediately waved his hand to signal the entire army to stand in silence. Huang Qiong rushed to the pre-arranged general ordering platform and read out the instruction list written by himself. With Huang Qiong's current talent, this letter of instruction was naturally written with both sound and prose. The tens of thousands of soldiers present, as well as the military attachés at all levels, were excited to read out.
After reading this letter of discharge, Huang Qiong stepped down from the general station and held incense with his own hands to pay homage to heaven and earth. Zhang Qian, who also rushed over, read out the memorial text in memory of heaven and earth. After the stick of incense burned out, Huang Qiong, who returned to the general station, waved his hand, and the soldiers around him brought up Li and his son, who were already frightened. Zhang Qian, who was following Huang Qiong, read out the charges against Li and his son in public.
With the sound of three cannons, the heads of the evil-doing Li family and his son fell to the ground. The heads of Mr. and Mrs. Li are hanging high on the flagpole erected yesterday. After the execution was completed, Huang Qiong stood in front of the marching drum in front of the general stand, picked up the drumsticks with his own hands, and shouted loudly to the tens of thousands of soldiers standing neatly: "Today, the king personally beats the drum to see you off. I look forward to my army’s early triumph tomorrow.”
"My king hopes that you will go to the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely, put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and bring peace and stability to the people of Ningxia. I believe that our warriors in Daqi will definitely inherit the glorious tradition of our ancestors to put down the party and use rebellion to We will wash our swords and guns with the blood of the army, and use their heads to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers. God bless our warriors of Da Qi to win, and the Qi army to be mighty."
