"It's all you, I blame you. If you hadn't been talking about throwing your life and blood in front of your children, why would this happen?
Now, he is almost suffering from a demonic disease. How can he take his wife and children to the battlefield? "
Liang Yingzhen was crying, suppressing her voice and angrily accusing her.
As if he was afraid of alarming others.
"My stepfather may not be able to find a place to take care of his wife and children. Now is a critical moment, so how can he stay behind?
Didn't he say in his letter that the first shot had just been fired and Wuchang had become independent? As long as Hanyang was held for a month or two, when the news spread, the southern provinces would also become autonomous.
At the same time, if it echoes with the north, it can ignite a prairie fire.
Something big is about to happen, and of course it will usher in the final crazy counterattack by the imperial court.
This is the darkest moment before dawn... Faced with children's ideals, we can only support them, but how can we hold them back? "
After the old man's earnest persuasion, seeing that Liang Yingzhen still remained silent, he sighed and said: "Our life has been better, but there are still tens of millions of people in the world who are still in dire straits...
I dare not forget the teachings of my mentor at that time. If you are poor, you can be good for yourself. If you are great, you can help the world. Although I am not a great person, sometimes I still want to do my best for this world. "
"When children grow up, they each have their own ideals. We should not stop them, but encourage them, even if it is, even if it is..."
At this point, Yang Shoucheng was in tears, as if he had thought of a bad outcome.
He covered his heart and took two heavy breaths. His gray hair was scattered into a ball, and his body became half rickety.
After a moment of silence, he said again:
"San'er is so capable now, and he listens to you as a mother the most. Why don't you go and persuade him to go to Hankou and bring back the stepfather's family.
However, I'm afraid that my stepfather will not agree... I know that child will never be a deserter.
Many years ago, I saw through his temperament. He was the most stubborn. He set his goal and even eight cows couldn't pull him back. "
"You want San'er to go to the battlefield too? You are really capable. Otherwise, you can go alone..."
When Liang Yingzhen heard this, she immediately stopped crying and stretched out her hand to scratch.
It was so hard that Yang Shoucheng dodged around.
"What are you talking about? Can San'er be an ordinary person? Have you forgotten his majesty in the Japanese army? They are three thousand fully armed elites. Did they hurt him?
Besides, I don't want him to go to war. I know that's not his ambition.
I just went secretly and brought back our daughter-in-law Xiulan and eldest grandson Tianbao...
Xiulan, a daughter of a family, went to the battlefield and endured hardships. It was outrageous to begin with, and she also took our Tianbao little grandchild with her.
It's only one year old and I haven't seen it yet. "
"Tianbao, he...he...but now only San'er is by his side. If he goes to the battlefield and he still has a grudge against Yuan Shuangcheng, going there would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
No, if the stepfather wants to die, just pretend that he never gave birth to this son. He must not involve the whole family. "
My mother, Liang Yingzhen, said harshly, and as she spoke, she began to cry again.
Obviously, there is no one left.
"I'll go."
Yang Lin stood quietly under the osmanthus tree outside the door. After listening for a long time, he sighed and spoke.
“However, I don’t guarantee that I can bring my eldest brother back.
For their ideals, they can do many things, but there are also many things they absolutely cannot do.
In the great tide of the times, it would probably be more difficult for him to hide and watch than to kill him. "
"no."
Liang Yingzhen screamed: "Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven, you can't go.
This time, it was no different than the small fight in Shanghai. Each side had a large army. I heard that the total force sent by the imperial court reached more than 100,000. They rushed to Hankou from all sides, including many elite soldiers like the Six Beiyang Towns.
If you go, what can you do? Do you want to help them rush into battle? If there are three long and two short sides... San'er, you can't show off. "
"Okay, I won't show off and take people away secretly, regardless of the war, I promise."
Yang Lin smiled gently.
This war, although important, is really important.
Because, after this battle, the corrupt imperial court completely collapsed.
Countless people were cheering. A big mountain that was weighing on their heads had been overthrown, and everyone would live a good life.
Then, what happened next was astonishing.
Because, everything, in fact, has not changed at all.
However, the ruler was changed from one person to another.
From an emperor to a president.
The beatings continued, but the people who died were actually the common people.
It also turned the Central Plains into a pot of gruel.
There are indeed some who have lived a good life.
They are the landowners in the south, the independent military leaders in each province, and some extremely powerful forces in the north.
Without a substantive immediate boss, they all became local emperors and could do whatever they wanted.
The feudal dynasty is gone, but the lives of the people have not necessarily improved.
It was as if that battle never happened.
Only the white bones of those who died on both sides of the Han River can make people understand the heroism and worthlessness of that battle.
In fact, Yang Lin had already expected this war, and he also got some news.
But he hid his head like an ostrich, ignored it, and didn't want to care.
Because he knew that even if Yuan Shuangcheng was killed at this time, there would still be Feng Shuangcheng, Zhang Shuangcheng...
As long as man's ambition remains... people with lofty ideals do not have the determination to master real armed forces and to be independent and not rely on the assistance of any foreign power.
This battle was fought in vain.
Significant.
At most, it just means something.
…
"Master, I can help you rub your shoulders, rub your legs, and laugh at you along the way.
You can also handle some of the errands like running hotels, delivering letters and running errands, which is definitely not a burden. "
Xiao Mushroom almost burst into tears when she heard that Yang Lin was going on a long trip and was not ready to take her out with him.
With a look of reluctance on his face, he softly begged.
"It's not like we're going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers this time. When the battlefield is full of bullets and cannonballs, it will be very difficult for me to protect others."
Yang Lin didn't let go.
"Then you are looking down on me, young master..."
Xiao Mushroom took a stance and punched several times with both hands, making the air crash and crackle. "I have been forging my bones for a while. Plum Blossom Fist and Iron Wire Fist go hand in hand. I fought Uncle Da yesterday and he couldn't do anything." Not me."
Uncle Da had already fainted in the toilet from crying.
Yang Lin said with a smile: "This is not a matter of martial arts skills. Your sister Xianglian is at home alone, and she still needs someone to accompany her and protect her.
Even though it looks very safe here, you can't take it lightly. "
"Don't worry, I don't have anything to do here, and I don't like to go out. No one else knows, so how can they target me?
Third brother, you'd better take the little mushroom with you. There will be someone to look after you on the way.
Didn't you say that this time you brought back sister-in-law Xiulan and the little baby Tianbao? It’s really inconvenient to have no one to look after you. "
Karen, who had been packing her bags silently and putting them into a large suitcase, couldn't help but speak at this time.
Her voice was soft and her eyes were soft.
Since arriving in Xiangjiang, her face has gained a little bit of baby fat which is not obvious, and it looks much rounder.
It looks like a peony flower moistened by enough rain. It is fragrant and charming, and makes people feel calm at the sight of it.
"Okay, little mushroom, you hear me clearly, you can't make your own decisions on the road, and you must obey the command in all your actions."
Yang Lin was a little worried.
To be honest, little maid, it's not good to be too out of touch.
If she didn't watch carefully, she might have gone to the battlefield to kill Yuan Shuangcheng. Don't think she couldn't do it.
She is very courageous and has fantastic ideas in her mind from time to time.
When she was with Marilyn, she was able to suppress that shrewd and cunning little princess, causing her to feel frustrated from time to time. One can only imagine what she was capable of.
No, I was almost convinced by her.
In fact, when Yang Lin went out, Xiao Mushroom was already carrying a box, wearing a peaked cap and a vest, and was following behind him.
Behind him were people from the Yang family seeing him off.
Karen stood quietly in the distance, not approaching.
It wasn't until the boat disappeared that he returned to Yang's house under the protection of everyone.
…
The boat docked.
Yang Lin didn't delay either.
The further north he went, the heavier his heart became.
Along the way, nine out of ten rooms were empty.
Occasionally I meet someone and want to ask for directions, and then I find,
These people may have numb faces and kowtow when they see people, without even being able to say a single word.
Or, they were as panicked as if they were encountering a man-eating tiger, and simply hid far away, not daring to show their heads at all.
However, one thing is the same.
All of them have rat tail braids, and their sallow complexion and skinny muscles are just a sign of self-importance.
It was already mid-autumn, and the upper body was still naked. It could be seen that there was only a layer of skin wrapped around the ribs.
This doesn't mean I'm not full, I mean I don't have anything to eat at all.
Because, Yang Lin also saw that the bulges in some people's stomachs were actually silted mud and stones.
It doesn't look like he's starved to death, but in fact, he won't survive for long.
"When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer."
At first, Yang Lin gave the dry food he had to some poor children he met on the road.
Later, I saw that the village and the streets were filled with such children.
There were even some adults whose eyes were glowing red, looking at them like zombies.
So he fell silent and just hurried forward without wanting to look any further.
"Young master, I heard that the scene was like this when the Ming Dynasty was about to die. The people exchanged their children to eat, and they were worried about the next meal all day long.
In the past two years, there has been a severe drought in Guanzhong and floods in the two rivers. Food production has been reduced, and large tracts of people have starved to death everywhere.
The most serious thing is that there are too many corrupt officials. Those landlords and officials only care about their own happiness, and they don’t care about the lives of the people..."
"So, every time we reach the late dynasty, all kinds of strange things will happen, and disasters will emerge one after another."
As the little maid of the Yang family, Xiao Mushroom is not only a maid, she has grown up with Yang Lin. Of course, she also has the job of accompanying the schoolboys.
Therefore, when the teacher was invited to teach, Yang Lin, the former playboy, did not learn any useful knowledge. On the contrary, Xiao Mushroom, the clever little girl who listened in, learned a lot of knowledge.
It's useless, but her brain is particularly easy to use and she can draw inferences about everything...
Occasionally, Mr. Yang would drop a few words from his book bag in a pedantic way, and she could quickly talk about the source and the hidden meaning.
It made Yang Lin, a semi-literate person from a later generation, feel a little ashamed.
In terms of literary heritage, not even the maid can compare with it.
This thing is indeed closely related to people's talents. Even if I have traveled through countless worlds and received too much knowledge in the illusion, there is no reason to say that I can't learn it.
Just like in the past in later generations, not to mention reading thousands of books, it can be said that the amount of poems I read can be said to be a car load.
But if he was asked to memorize a few poems seriously, he would be unable to memorize them without seeing anything.
Of course, this does not mean that Yang Lin's knowledge is lower than that of the little maid.
This has nothing to do with literature, but everything to do with experience and IQ.
His perspective on problems and his methods of solving them are much better than those of a little mushroom who stays at home and rarely goes out.
"It's not that natural disasters and corrupt officials will appear in the late dynasty. It's that corrupt officials and natural disasters will appear, and the people will no longer be able to survive, so we will reach the late dynasty."
There is a problem of inversion of cause and effect.
People who believe in destiny theory often attribute problems to the direction of destiny.
But in Yang Lin's view.
It's actually a very random question.
All things are created to nourish people, and people's existence in the world is naturally full of ups and downs.
If you can make it, it will be smooth sailing; if you cannot make it, it will be bad luck...
What's there to say?
"Heaven is strong and a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. Fighting is the most boring thing. If a flower is produced in a civil war, does it mean that oneself becomes stronger?"
In the face of foreign aggression, we will turn into cowardly chickens and become vulnerable. "
“Therefore, I am willing to work hard to enhance national self-confidence and strengthen the country, but I am not willing to have my hands stained with blood on the battlefield of the civil war.
No matter which side, whether it is the one who is being defrauded or whether it has faith and ideals, it is the common people who are suffering.
They just want to be soldiers and eat a ration of food so as not to starve to death. "
It's not that Yang Lin is unwilling to serve the country and the people.
It's because he doesn't know what kind of country his country is.
It's so embarrassing.
You can accuse him of not having faith and perseverance.
However, his belief is obviously not in this era.
In this era, there is no need for him to stand on the outside and make decisions for others.
Don't be annoying.
Dined and slept in the open all the way.
On this day, we finally arrived in Hankou.
Before they even got close, they saw people fleeing all over the mountains and plains.
Crying for father and mother.
The city was already in flames.
From the center of the city, it burned through half of the city until it came out of the river.
The sound of artillery rumbled, the sound of gunfire was like noisy beans, and there were shouts and cries.
From time to time, someone was burned into a torch and rushed out. While firing, he was beaten into a honeycomb by dense long gun bullets.
"Fellow, what's the situation in the city? Why are half of the city's houses on fire?"
Yang Lin caught a fat businessman who was escaping in a hurry and asked.
"It was the imperial army from six towns. In order to capture and destroy the rebels, they set fire to the city, all the way to the Han River, and forced them to jump into the river."
The businessman was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He felt Yang Lin's right hand was like a pliers and did not dare to get angry. He just suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Sir, run away quickly.
Neither side is a good bird, and the city of Hankou has been reduced to ruins...
It is estimated that those rebels will flee to Hanyang, and then they will be pursued and beaten into a mess.
I can’t stay here any longer, I have to flee to the south…”
Yang Lin let go of his hand and let him go.
He generally understood the situation in the city. After the uprising, the imperial court counterattacked and mobilized troops to encircle and suppress those progressive people.
Of course, some military leaders led by Yuan Shuangcheng were using powerful firepower to eliminate the oppressive southern forces.
At the same time, one side sent people to negotiate.
He wanted the Southern Provisional Government to surrender and recognize its leadership over the country.
Where should I go to find my eldest brother Yang Jizu?
The most likely possibility is to fight on the front line at the Han River.
Judging from the temperament of the eldest brother whom I had not seen for more than ten years, he would never hide in the rear.
He is a doctor. You can probably find him wherever the wounded soldiers are.
The situation in front of him was like hell. The smell of burnt corpses was so strong that Yang Lin, who had been through battle for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little twitching in his stomach. Little Mushroom couldn't help bending over and retching.
I haven't seen such cruelty in a long time. Has this body become fragile?
Yang Lin's eyes turned cold.
He felt that these people actually had nothing to say.
Just pick up the person and leave...
