Brocade tears

Meng Kuang agreed to Qin Liangyu's request mainly due to several considerations.One is that she wants to maintain a relatively good relationship with the Xuanwei Army headed by Qin Liangyu, so that these people will not deal with her, and her family can still get their protection.The second is that she is really interested in this small local army formed by Qin Liangyu, and also admires Qin Liangyu very much.The third is that her family persuaded her, hoping that her kung fu would not be in vain, and at least bring a group of disciples, and pass it on.

Of course, Meng Kuang can get another income to supplement his family, which is even more beautiful.Zhan Yu is also a little interested in this matter, but the family still needs a man to work, and Meng Yan is pregnant again, so he didn't go for the time being and stayed at home to help.

Qin Liangyu's army is very distinctive, their main weapons are all special weapons with long poles.There is an ash forest not far from the city wall. The gun shaft is made of this ash tree. It is equipped with a bladed hook and a hard iron ring. When fighting, the hook can be cut and pulled, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon. , very suitable for mountain warfare, it can be described as a magic weapon.And because the long poles are all white wooden poles, this army has a common name - "white pole soldiers".

But this white-armed soldier is a long weapon after all, and cannot adapt to all combat situations. Once caught in hand-to-hand combat on the plains, you need to use a knife.Meng Kuang is a master of swordsmanship, so he hired her as a swordsman instructor.Of course, at the same time, Meng Kuang was also responsible for training the basic physical fitness and unarmed combat abilities of this group of troops.

To be a coach, if you don't speak, you can't train soldiers.But Meng Kuang revealed her identity as soon as she spoke, and she didn't tell Qin Liangyu that she was disguised as a man, but Qin Liangyu seemed to be able to see it, and specially assigned her a young and smart female warrior to speak and guide instead of Meng Kuang. .This female warrior was a Tujia, named Xiang Xilan, with a dark and simple face, and her sonorous voice left a deep impression on Meng Kuang.

Meng Kuang and Xiang Xilan worked together for a few days, and quickly cooperated with each other tacitly.And this army, after going through the initial period of unconvinced and distrusting Meng Kuang, gradually began to believe in this mysterious instructor who is super powerful but silent, and strictly obeyed her orders for training.Meng Kuang's training was not too harsh, and even had some fun. The special training method and the growth effect visible to the naked eye made these warriors in the mountains and forests seem to be poisoned and began to believe in Meng Kuang.

During this process, Meng Ai gave birth to a twin, and before she gave birth, Daoist Luo, who reopened a medical center in Chongqing Fucheng, came to help her deliver the baby.Under the fear of the family, Meng Yan safely gave birth to twins, the girl is the older sister, and the boy is the younger brother.The girl is named Zhan Siping and the boy is named Zhan Nian'an.

Soon after, when Siping and Nian'an were full moon, Daoist Luo brought a message.It was the mid-winter of the 24th year of Wanli, at the gate of Daoist Luo’s clinic in Chongqing, someone abandoned a boy on the steps. The boy had a huge erythematous birthmark on the left face, but apart from this birthmark, look Looking up, the facial features are correct, and the body is quite healthy.This child was abandoned when he was born, and his skin was still wrinkled. I don't know who was so cruel, but his own child was abandoned.There is nothing left of the rags that wrapped the child, and there is no name.

So it didn't take long for Sui'er to live in secluded homes. The Meng family announced that Sui'er was pregnant. Occasionally, someone could see her walking in the yard upright.Because the Meng family didn't have much contact with the people in the village below, no one knew exactly when Sui'er was conceived, but because her belly was swollen soon, she might be pregnant for some time.More than a year later, news came out that it was a boy, and he was already half a year old. People in the walled city were a little surprised at how fast the birth was.

This boy took Meng's surname, was named Hongxuan, and his baby name was Chilong. He became the adopted son of Meng Kuang and Sui'er.

Nearly two years have passed, and Luo Xun and Guo Dayou still haven't been able to retire.In January of the 25th year of Wanli, just as Mencius had predicted, Toyotomi Hideyoshi of the Japanese kingdom broke out in war again, and the soldiers pointed directly at North Korea.Ma Gui, the former general of Shanxi Province, goes into battle and leads the army to aid the DPRK. Luo Xun and Guo Dayou are forced to go out again and participate in the second entry into the DPRK to fight against the Japanese.

This battle was fought for a longer period of time. After the great victory of Jishan, the Battle of Ulsan, the Battle of Myeongryang, and the Battle of Noryang, etc., after the unprecedented arduous battles, due to the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Japanese army lost the spur of the invasion and the morale of the army was lax. In the end, the Ming and North Korean coalition forces finally achieved a comprehensive victory.

At the beginning of the 27th year of Wanli, Luo Xun and Guo Dayou, who repeated their old tricks and also faked their deaths on the battlefield, were finally able to return to Sichuan and Shu to reunite with the Meng family.However, as soon as they came back, Luo Xun and Guo Dayou brought bad news: the imperial court was finally ready to rectify the Southwest, and solve the long-standing confidant trouble—Bozhou Chieftain Yang Yinglong.Immediately, their secluded area will be caught in a disaster of war.

This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Meng family, which has many young women and children.In order to keep themselves safe, Meng Kuang and Zhan Yu actively joined the training of Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers and worked hard to prepare for the battle. Guo Dayou and Luo Xun also ignored the long-distance journey and tried their best to guide the white-armed soldiers to fight.

In March of the 27th year of Wanli, the imperial court dispatched troops to suppress Bozhou.Li Hualong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, governor of the military affairs of the three provinces of Chuanhu, Guizhou, gave Shangfang a sword, mobilized soldiers from all over the world, and mobilized Liu Ting, Magui, Chen Lin, Dong Yiyuan and other generals who went to the east to conquer the Japanese pirates and returned to the south to conquer Bozhou.Guo Zizhang, deputy governor of the imperial court, was appointed as the governor of Guizhou to prepare for the war with all his strength.

Fang Jiachong, the general guard of the army, was ordered to guard the Qijiang River to prevent the blockage of Bozhou, cut off the salt road and the necessary commercial road in Bozhou, killed 12 Bozhou soldiers in Yanggang River, and falsely carried the prohibited materials for making gunpowder on Zhou Fuzhou, a salt dealer in Bozhou. and brimstone to kill it.And killed 12 Bomin who went to surrender.In June of the same year, Yang Yinglong used this as a pretext, and took advantage of the fact that the officers and troops had not yet assembled, he declared that "the imperial court would not tolerate me, so he had to give up his life to go out of Qijiang and do it with all his might." Jia Chong robbed the treasury and destroyed the storehouse, took away all his wealth, and stuffed his corpse in the Qijiang River, which was all stained red with blood.When the emperor heard that the Bo army slaughtered Qijiang, he was furious, and the imperial pen Zhu criticized Yang Yinglong as "unforgivable crime".So far, the relationship between Banzhou and the court has been completely torn apart, and there is no possibility of repair.

In the following year, in the 28th year of Wanli, [-] troops encircled Bozhou.Yang Yinglong's army once took advantage of Li Hualong's army to hold a feast in the camp to launch an attack. Qin Liangyu and her husband Ma Qiancheng defeated him first, and then pursued the victory, breaking through seven camps including Jinzhuguan one after another.Afterwards, he assisted the officers and soldiers from all walks of life in Youyang to capture Sangmu Pass and defeated Yang Yinglong's army. Qin Liangyu was the number one military exploiter on Nanchuan Road, but after Yang Yinglong's defeat and death, Qin Liangyu did not report his military exploits.She just quietly returned to Shijie Xuanweisi with her husband, and lived her life quietly.

By June, the Yang family, which had dominated the southwest for 700 years, was finally defeated by the encirclement and suppression by the government army and collapsed.Throughout the year, the Shijie Xuanwei Division where the Meng family was located was not spared, because Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu's commanders joined the war against Yang Yinglong, and Shijie's local troops were empty.There were often stragglers harassing, Guo Dayou, Luo Xun, Meng Kuang, Zhan Yu and others organized the left-behind troops to defend, repelled the stragglers many times, and finally survived this year.

During this year, everyone really sighed, where in the mountains, rivers and heavens and earth can be the ultimate pure place.Maybe when the whole country is in turmoil, no place can be a safe place to live.

So far, the Wanli Dynasty has completed three major conquests for nearly 30 years.After fighting these three major campaigns, the entire country was empty and its wealth withered, and even a considerable part of the rewards and rations promised to the sergeants earlier had not been fulfilled.So much so that in the next few years, there were many mutinies.

This year, Li Shunzhen, the oldest child in the Meng family, was 12 years old; Kuang and Sui'er's adopted son, Xiao Chilong, is four years old.And the youngest child, that is, the youngest son Meng Zixiu and Bai Yuyin gave birth to later, just turned two years old, named Yulu.The whole family is lively and full of vitality because of the large number of children.So that the adults are a little tired looking after the children.

So Xiao Shunzhen became the boss and was given the important task of managing the children.As the eldest sister, Xiao Shunzhen is very conscious, leading her younger siblings to consciously help adults with their work, study with Mencius Xiu, and practice martial arts with Luo Xun, Guo Dayou, Meng Kuang or Zhan Yu.This is compulsory, even if you are not good at it, you still have to master the basics.According to interests, those who are willing to learn painting and female celebrity can follow Sui Er; those who are willing to learn chess and piano music can follow Bai Yuyin; those who are willing to learn medicine can follow Meng Ai.

Among the children, Li Shunzhen is interested in medicine. When she is studying and practicing martial arts in her spare time, she will follow her sister-in-law to learn medicine.Meng Bingxin is quiet and gentle, and likes female celebrities and calligraphy.Zhan Siping is a very cheerful and energetic girl who likes to run with Meng Kuang and learn sword skills from Meng Kuang the most.In contrast, Zhan Nian'an, the younger brother of twins, is much shy. He loves to read, and unlike his parents, he is very similar to Mencius Xiu. He also loves painting and likes to follow Sui'er.

But when it comes to talent in martial arts, Meng Siping is completely inferior to Meng Kuang and Sui'er's adopted son Xiao Chilong.This little red dragon seems to have natural supernatural powers, and he can lift quite heavy things at a young age.He is especially interested in martial arts. Although he is still young, he always runs after Meng Kuang's ass.If Meng Kuang is not free, he will practice martial arts with Uncle Guo and Uncle Luo.The youngest, Yulu, is only two years old. It is still difficult to judge what direction he will develop in the future, but at present, this child seems to be very interested in rhythm, and he is worthy of being Bai Yuyin's biological son.

The more children there are, the less housing the family has.Over the years, the Meng family has expanded some land, built several houses, and specially invited craftsmen to renovate the house, so that the family can live more comfortably, and also make the house safer, able to withstand the stormy world outside .Guo Dayou, Luo Xun and Meng's family live not far away. It is only three miles away from the middle of the mountain where Meng's family is located, and their house is even more secretive.

Time flies, time flies.No matter how much wind and rain there is outside, this mountain forest is their pure land, and it seems that they will never be disturbed.Children grow up happily here, while adults enjoy the beauty of reunion with their relatives, lovers and close friends.

At a certain moment in the spring, when the sun was setting, Meng Kuang and Sui Er joined hands, leaning on each other and returning from picking flowers on the mountain.The passage of time did not bring about their aging appearance, they were still young and beautiful as if they were forever young.Seeing the orange-red sun disc disappearing under the waistline of the mountain range, Sui'er suddenly asked in confusion:

"Ah Qing, what kind of future will the children of the family have? Are they allowed to stay in this mountain forest forever?"

"What's wrong with that?" Meng Kuang asked back.

"Yeah... Maybe there's nothing wrong with it. But such a life, maybe it's a lot of regret because I haven't seen the outside world. The children in the family are talented in both literature and martial arts. They study so hard, but in the future It's useless, it really makes me feel a little bit sad." Sui'er said in a low voice.

Meng Kuang was silent for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The sunset over the mountains and rivers is not a kind of beauty. If the children are willing to walk into this beauty, we shouldn't stop them. What will happen in the future depends on Let them walk away."
