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

Chapter 313 The Son of Heaven 3
"It seems that someone is deliberately trying to embarrass us."

It was night, drinking steaming hot tea, Qi Hu said with some worry.

Xu Gong dug out a piece of beef from the can, and chewed viciously: "Damn, we worked so hard outside the pass, and we have to be treated like this when we return to the capital! These bastards don't treat us like human beings at all!" look!"

Xue Siming snorted: "It's best not to let me know who is behind the trick, otherwise I won't kill him with a single knife, and I will write the word "Xue" upside down!"

Someone is deliberately trying to embarrass them. This is the unanimous consensus of everyone in Wuyang Guard.The elite soldiers in Wuyang were angry and aggrieved at all the difficulties and neglect from the imperial officials. We worked hard and ran from Henan to Jinzhou in one breath. We broke the red flag and the white flag, and killed all the personal guards around Huang Taiji. , and the slave chiefs fled. Among the tens of thousands of Ming troops, which one fought as fiercely as we did, and achieved as brilliant a victory as ours?The result was cynicism from you civil servants!These young generals were even more angry. After this battle, seven of the Wuyang Guard's chief commanders died, and two general commanders died. Two thousand five hundred elite soldiers came out, and one-third of them were laid to rest by the Daling River. , there were hundreds of people hanging out, but such tragic sacrifices were only met with cold looks, and they almost exploded with anger!

Yang Menglong felt very unlucky: "It's really unlucky to step on such a pile of stinky dog ​​shit! If I had known that I would not have entered Beijing, wouldn't it be better to take everyone back to Henan?"

Qi Hu said: "If someone insists on embarrassing you, even if you go back to Henan, you won't be able to escape!"

Yang Menglong said fiercely: "Then let them come here, I'll wait for them!"

Qi Hu didn't speak, just sighed heavily.

What's worse is that the dead eunuch Wu Yong seems to be addicted to staying in the palace and has forgotten about them. He has not come out to see them until now. Naturally, they have no way to obtain any useful information and can only let others lead them. Nose goes.

The Wenchen Group's attitude is very clear, that is to spare no effort to win over the Guanning Army and Tianxiong Army and suppress Wuyang Guard.For the next few days, officials came to visit Zu Dale and Lu Xiangsheng in an endless stream, all kinds of banquet invitations made them exhausted, and they didn't even have time to talk to Yang Menglong, but Wuyangwei's side It was deserted and deserted, just a few small officials who always seemed to Wuyangwei owed them 800 million taels of silver and would not pay them back. They had a stinky face to criticize the door.Lu Xiangsheng couldn't see it anymore, and repeatedly reminded the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War: Yang Menglong has made extraordinary achievements in the world, and it is really inappropriate to neglect him like this. Destroy his temperament, and destroy his prestige so that he won't get carried away!The civil servants' contempt for warriors was so deep-rooted that Lu Xiangsheng was speechless.

Of course, the Wuyang Guard also has a pastime, which is to watch the Tianxiong Army and the Guan Ning Army practice.They don't know what they are practicing, put on brand new armor, brand new flags, one team after another advances and retreats, the flowers and brocades are very beautiful, the Wuyang elite soldiers are watching and laughing, as if they are Watch monkeys.Even Yang Menglong would often go outside the fence to watch the rehearsal of the two armies, pointing fingers with a group of soldiers, laughing at the stupid directors in a low voice, temporarily putting aside the anger he received from the civil servants.

However, happy days are always short, and disasters are eternal.After watching the monkey show for a few days, a senior official from the Ministry of Rites suddenly came, called Yang Menglong over, and drank with a straight face: "Tomorrow will be the victory at Andingmen. As the commander, don't hurry up and train the soldiers, run there What are you going to see? Have you put the emperor in your eyes!?"

Yang Menglong was a little dumbfounded: "Yao... Yaowei Xianjie? What the hell is this?"

The official of the Ministry of Rituals sneered: "It's such an honor to present your victories to the king and let your reputation of bravery spread to the world. You don't take it seriously? Sure enough, mud can't support the wall!"

Yang Menglong called: "No... no, why didn't anyone tell me about such an important matter?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites didn't believe it: "No one told you?"

Yang Menglong said: "No, not a single one!"

The official of the Ministry of Rites said: "Probably they were negligent for a while, and they forgot. But you saw that the Guan Ning and Tianxiong armies practiced day and night, and you didn't know that the grand victory ceremony was going to be held, aren't you a little too slow!"

Yang Menglong had ten thousand grass-mud horses roaring past in his heart.

It’s too late to say anything now, the whole barracks is flying around, under the command of the senior officials of the Ministry of Rituals, the armor is repaired, the smoke and blood on the flags are washed away, and the blood and rust on the weapons are worn away. At the same time, the officers are also organized to study intensely. All kinds of etiquette, lines that they would never be able to memorize in their entire lives, and they don't even know what they mean... In short, they are turning their backs on their backs.A lot of officials came from the Ministry of Rituals, and it became a nightmare to point them out. Those etiquettes and taboos are too complicated for Wuyang elite soldiers. This posture is wrong, this posture is not pious enough, this line should be Keep in mind that this line should be full of emotion, and it is best to cry twice... Not to mention those Bai Zong, Ba Zong, and Qian Zong who haven't read many books, even Yang Menglong is the first two. Big, almost being tossed crazy.In his opinion, these officials from the Ministry of Rituals are playing tricks on them. For example, they insisted that the black tiger flag of Wuyang Guard is not in line with etiquette, and they wanted to change the dragon flag. After they finally finished the dragon flag, they said it was still the same The effect of the black tiger flag is even better... Finally, Yang Menglong couldn't take it anymore, and let out a roar: "Are you here to help or to cause trouble!?"

The official of the Ministry of Rituals responded with two sneers: "The people of Huaxia, the most important thing is etiquette, pilgrimage to the king, etiquette is even greater than the sky, and no mistakes can be made! Your subordinates are too stupid to learn how to learn. , who can be blamed?"

Yang Menglong was panting with anger, and yelled at his subordinates who were still being driven around: "Stop! Don't play, we don't play anymore, don't talk about this trick for a night, even if we learn it for a lifetime, we won't be able to learn it Yes, let the ceremony of presenting victory and glory go to hell, I won't play with you anymore!"

The Wuyang Elite Soldiers, who were also full of anger, threw the messy guys in their hands on the ground angrily, and really stopped playing.

The official of the Ministry of Rites pointed at Yang Menglong's nose and said sharply: "Yang Menglong, you have to understand that this is the capital city, not outside the pass, and not Wuyang. You cannot tolerate presumptuousness! Such a big event was arranged by the sage and the chief assistant. Not to mention you as a small guard commander, even if you are the commander-in-chief of a town, you can only obediently obey the commander!"

Yang Menglong's saliva sprayed on the opponent's face: "My soldiers are for fighting, not for you to be monkeys! You didn't intend to let us participate in this bird ceremony at all, so I can't see it? Okay, I'll do what you wish, I won't play anymore, go play by yourself and go to bed!" Folding the pennant in his hand that was bought from the Ministry of Rites at a high price in half, threw it far away, furiously Back in his tent, he slipped into his sleeping bag and fell asleep soundly.The Wuyang elite soldiers have had enough, and each go back to their tents to sleep. As for the bird ceremony, go and play by yourself, we will not accompany you.

A secret sneer appeared on the corner of the mouth of the Ministry of Rites official.Sure enough, he was a reckless man, and he played with him just by playing tricks. This time, even if this kid doesn't die, he will lose his skin!

This Ming Dynasty has always been the world of our literati, and warriors stand aside!

The news of Yang Menglong's rage quickly spread to Xiong Mingyu, who was disgraced because of the conflict with Yang Menglong, finally showed a happy smile.He has only met Yang Menglong once, but he has a certain understanding. He knows that this kid is young and vigorous, and he will fly into a rage and make irrational actions when he is slightly agitated. All kinds of neglect were all thanks to him, and the Ministry of Rites did not inform Emperor Wuyangwei that the victory ceremony would be held at Andingmen until the eve of the ceremony, and it was also at his instruction, in order to anger Yang Menglong.In fact, the specific date of the Yaowei Victory Ceremony has been concealed from the very beginning. The Ministry of Rituals does not make overall arrangements and teach various etiquettes. But he was afraid that Yang Menglong would not die quickly enough, so he asked the Ministry of Rites to fiddle around at the last moment, playing Wuyang's elite soldiers as monkeys, and finally angered Yang Menglong.It's all right now, Yang Menglong won't play anymore, but is it because he said he wouldn't play this grand ceremony?A unit full of grievances and ignorant of relevant etiquette procedures met the emperor at Andingmen... let's mourn for Yang Menglong.He poured himself a glass of wine with a smile, and said to himself: "Yang Menglong, Yang Menglong, you may really be a genius, but...you really shouldn't embarrass me, what a pity!"

Yang Menglong wrapped himself in a sleeping bag, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, except for a sneer or a sneer.A great event to show off its prestige and victory and praise the world can actually become a weapon to suppress military generals and take private revenge. There is really no lower limit for the integrity of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. With such civil servants, the Ming Dynasty can't think about it. Do not agree.People often attribute the demise of the Ming Dynasty to the natural disasters brought about by the climate of the Little Ice River, fart!The climate of the Little Ice River was not specifically against the Ming Dynasty, and the natural disasters in the area ruled by the Later Jin Dynasty were also very serious. At the most exaggerated time, a stone of miscellaneous grains could be sold for a sky-high price of 70 taels of silver. In addition, the population of Liaodong was sparse and the agriculture was backward. The degree will only be more tragic, and will not be lighter than that of the Ming Dynasty.Why did the Ming Dynasty end, not Houjin?In the past, he couldn't figure it out even though he was thinking about it, but now he finally understands:

Because the Ming Dynasty had a bunch of weird civil servants who fought internally and externally and fought against outsiders!When it comes to party strife, these guys are all top experts. The intrigues of the kings of the big European countries can only support the Ming Dynasty to the level of a prefect. But if they are allowed to govern the country and quell the border troubles, they will do nothing but To stare is to catch blind.Although the internal fighting between the Hou Jin Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty was quite fierce, they were absolutely consistent and unambiguous in dealing with the issue of the Ming Dynasty. There is no ambiguity, but when it comes to contact with Houjin, you need to be as vague as possible.

This country is rotten inside and out...

Where should he, and this elite soldier under his command, go?
