Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 576 Qi Hefengyun 9
The queen came to Nanyang without making a sound, and Yang Menglong couldn't help being a little flustered, just like a grassroots village official bumped into a surprise inspection by the leader. Just arranging a place for the queen is enough for him to have a headache.He lamented in his heart: "Woman, it's trouble!"

He said it as if it would be no trouble if the emperor came in person...

The queen didn't understand Yang Menglong's distress at all, she was in a very good mood, as long as Yang Menglong didn't quarrel with the few great scholars around her, she would always smile, and even went shopping in a large department store accompanied by Liu Ziyan.There is an iron rule that when shopping with a woman, don't take her to department stores or commercial pedestrian streets, otherwise she won't come out once she plunges in!No, the queen plunged in and didn't come out for an hour. Yang Menglong had to wait outside with the prince, racking his brains, thinking about how to arrange the queen's board and lodging.

Zhu Cihong's gaze never left the giant bell, and when it rang again, he couldn't help asking Yang Menglong: "Champion Hou..."

Before he finished speaking, he was hit with a popcorn: "Call me teacher!"

Zhu Cihong hugged his head in pain and wailed loudly, "You are so bold, how dare you face the lonely king..."

Another note: "A person with a big fart, a lonely king, how can you mess around in the future if you are so rigid? From now on, you and I will be called you and me in front of me. Don't call me a widow, it will be annoying!"

Zhu Cihong burst into tears, but thinking of his mother's advice when he left Beijing, he still held back.The queen told him that if he got along well with Yang Menglong, he would stay in Nanyang for a period of time and learn something from Yang Menglong. This was an irresistible temptation for this six or seven-year-old child.From Beijing to Nanyang, this child who was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman tasted the taste of freedom for the first time. He really didn't want to go back so soon, and continue to live through the stinky rules, as if he was in a hurry. Live like a string puppet!His father asked him to choose one of the two greatest military and political talents in the Ming Dynasty, Champion Hou and Su Yihou, as his emperor teacher, and he liked Yang Menglong more. Really scared of this.In order to stay in Nanyang for one or two more years, what is it worth to suffer two popcorns?He rubbed his sore head and said, "I was wrong, teacher... ouch!"

Before he finished speaking, the third popcorn was knocked down.

Yang Menglong asked seriously: "Do you know why I hit you?"

Zhu Cihong shook his head blankly.

Yang Menglong said: "Because you are too soft! Children, you have to remember, if someone slaps you for no reason, the first thing you have to do is never admit your mistake, not accept softness, but use your milk Kick him back with all your strength, and then ask him why he hit you, this is the true nature of a man!"

Without further ado, Zhu Cihong kicked Yang Menglong's calf with all his might, but felt that he had kicked a pillar, and the pain made him hug his feet and jump, tears came out, but he was happy laughed out loud.Yang Menglong supported him so that he wouldn't fall to the ground, rubbed his head approvingly, and said, "That's right, if you beat back or scold you, what kind of king of a country are you? Why don't you just be a sandbag or something?" The spittoon is ready. From now on, if someone slaps you for no reason, you should kick him in return!"

Zhu Cihong asked: "What if I can't beat him?"

Yang Menglong said: "If you can't beat him, come back to practice, and then fight again after practice, or get a group of people to beat him up, anyway, you can't bear it anyway, understand?"

Zhu Cihong nodded again and again, thinking that the champion Hou was good, and the truth he said was completely different from what the great Confucians who accompanied him taught. He really liked to listen to it.

Yang Menglong took him to a restaurant on the other side of the square to sit down, ordered more than [-] skewers of spicy mutton skewers that were grilled yellow, and distributed ten skewers to Zhu Zilang. Coming to the topic just now, what did you want to ask just now?"

After being hit by the teacher three times, and also kicked by the teacher, Zhu Cihong completely let go, picked up the delicious mutton skewers and bit into his mouth full of oil: "Gu... no, I just wanted to ask, why is that giant clock?" Can it move by itself? Why does it ring by itself? And it rings every half an hour, which is extremely accurate, really incredible."

Yang Menglong said: "This is the power of technology..." He briefly explained to the child the functions of precision instruments such as springs and gears.Zhu Cixi listened with interest, but was confused. Although he was interested, he could not understand.Yang Menglong said helplessly: "Forget it, with your current age and knowledge structure, it is difficult for me to explain it clearly to you. You just need to remember that the internal structure of this Big Ben is very complicated, and every part fits together just right. As long as If there is a problem with one part, the entire clock will have problems.”

Zhu Cihong said: "That can't be done. If there is a problem with it, everyone will remember the wrong time, and there will be trouble."

Yang Menglong said: "So, it is necessary to maintain it from time to time, and solve it as soon as there is a problem. Don't wait until it breaks to repair it."

Zhu Cihong was thoughtful.

This precocious child looked at the crowds of people in the square and the many snack bars with a thriving business, and thought to himself that this place is really nice, so tidy, and almost everyone has money to buy mutton skewers, compared with those cities where refugees are everywhere. It's really too much better.

Accompanied by Li Dingguo, An Ning ran over and shouted "Brother, Brother" from a long distance. Yang Menglong rushed to meet her. There was snow powder on the ground. It would be bad if she fell while walking without looking at the road.Yang Menglong pulled her back, pressed her nose hard, and said, "How many times have I told you that it depends on the road, what should you do if you fall?"

An Ning said: "I'm not afraid, I have a good sense of balance." She tilted her head and looked at Zhu Cihong, "Who is this younger brother?"

Yang Menglong said: "He is my new apprentice."

An Ning jumped in front of Zhu Cihong happily, and said, "Then you are lucky. My brother never accepts apprentices. You can worship him as a teacher. It is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life! Let me tell you, what my brother knows There are too many, you can learn a thing from him casually, in this life..."

Yang Menglong coughed: "An Ning, didn't I tell you to be humble?"

Li Dingguo wanted to laugh when he saw it, but you are so arrogant that you can't wait to write the six words "I am the best in the world" on your face, are you still humble?
An Ning ignored Yang Menglong and continued to say to Zhu Cihong: "My brother is good at everything, but he likes to tease and scare people. But you don't have to be afraid, my sister will protect you!"

The corners of Li Dingguo's mouth turned up, this girl is really protective, like a little hen, no matter if it is older or younger than her, it counts as one when she sees it, and pulls it under her wings to protect it.

Yang Menglong patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder: "How is it? Is the injury completely healed?"

Li Dingguo said: "It's completely healed." During this period of time, he lived in the Hou's Mansion, and Yang Menglong invited the best doctors to treat him, and his injury healed very quickly.

Yang Menglong said: "It's good to be thorough. I'm really afraid that if you are not thorough, you will have the root cause of the disease at a young age. How will you live in this life?"

Li Dingguo was silent, and after a while he raised his head and said: "Thank you, General, for your concern. Hongyuan is very grateful. However, Hongyuan is a little confused. Since the General treats all the rebels who surrendered equally, and takes painstaking efforts to plan the future for them, why is he here?" So violent in combat, killing all the resisters? Why can't those resisters be forgiven?"

Yang Menglong gave him two skewers of mutton skewers and said, "I knew you would ask this... Boy, remember that kindness can only be given to the enemy who surrenders. On the battlefield, no matter how weak the enemy is, you will never be merciless." The qualifications! The people in the Heluo area pin their lives on me. If I show mercy to the bandits, it will be like putting them in a state of doom. Every soldier in the new army is dragged by their parents. It took more than ten years to raise them, and they gave their heart and soul to me. I have this obligation to let them die as few as possible. This is my principle, and it is also the principle that every qualified general must have. .”

Li Dingguo asked: "So, if the adoptive father had chosen to lead his troops to surrender instead of killing the envoys, nothing would have happened?"

Yang Menglong said: "If he leads his troops to surrender, at most I will disband his troops and make him a rich man. Unless he rebels again, I will not touch a single hair of his hair. I will definitely keep my promise." arrive."

Li Dingguo said sadly: "From this point of view, the adoptive father can only be blamed." He sighed in his heart.After surviving, he once had a very strong desire for revenge in his heart, but after getting along with Yang Menglong for a while, he realized that this seemingly cynical guy kept his word and kept his word, and those rebel soldiers who surrendered were well received. The arrangement, which made him very confused.Yang Menglong is not a brutal and bloodthirsty person. He sincerely wants to deal with the bandits without bloodshed, but the result is that the Yiluo River Valley is full of blood, and his foster father and three foster brothers died in battle. Why is this happening?He could only blame Zhang Xianzhong for making the wrong choice.

Since you made a mistake, you must bear the consequences, and this kind of hatred cannot be avenged.

An Ning asked blankly, "What are you talking about?"

Yang Menglong said: "If you don't understand, of course, it's best never to understand."

Li Dingguo echoed: "Yes, you'd better never understand this." He really didn't want An Ning to come into contact with these bloody things. She is so pure, kind, and smart, and she should be a happy little angel forever.

An Ning pulled Zhu Cihong to Li Dingguo, pointed to Li Dingguo and said, "His name is Li Dingguo, and his name is Hongyuan. You can call him Brother Hongyuan like me. From now on, you will be brothers! As for me, I will be like you." Covering him like covering you!"

Zhu Cihong called honestly: "Brother Hongyuan!"

Li Dingguo can't laugh or cry. Although he is young, he has been with Zhang Xianzhong for three years after all. His vision is far beyond that of ordinary people. He can tell at a glance that Zhu Cihong's background is extraordinary. An Ning, you are so generous to find me a younger brother. Really no problem?But little Princess An Ning has spoken, so he has no choice but to recognize this little brother... Sigh, there is one more person to protect in the future!
