When Hua Mulan Met Zhu Yingtai

When the Rouran people attacked, Zhu Yingtai was teaching in a private school.The children are male and female, most of them are seven or eight years old, and the older ones are no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

This is Zhu Yingtai's idea, and she herself is considered a well-educated scholar.I really can't understand the lack of literary style here in Mobei, and dare to say that I am a scholar after reading a half-tone of the Analects of Confucius.

What's more, those half-baked scholars are all so arrogant that they have to be urged repeatedly before they are willing to take up the post.That's all for it, and he always puts on the pick to make the master look bad.

Zhu Yingtai used to be a postman, and she didn't want to touch this bad luck, so she lived her little life with peace of mind.It was only after I became the master bookkeeper that I realized how difficult this group of sour literati were to deal with. Letters of engagement were scattered like snowflakes, and there were very few applicants.

That's all, it's normal, Zhu Yingtai herself has become numb after going through it many times, and the letter of engagement will be issued as usual, and it depends on how many people come.The real reason that prompted her to build a private school was that Hua Mulan dragged her injured leg out again, and went to Mobei City to ask a construction master to come back and repair the city wall.

As a result, he dragged his injured leg to go, got rejected, and then dragged his injured leg back.That day when Zhu Yingtai was applying medicine to Hua Mulan's injured leg, looking at the pus-oozing wound, she couldn't help feeling angry.What the hell, my own general fought life and death at the border to protect the safety of the rear, and even if he didn't want to greet him with a pot of milk, he was turned away.

Zhu Yingtai is very capable, but she does not have three heads and six arms, so one person cannot be divided into three envoys, and she cannot cover everything.But Jintang City is on the rise, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, especially literate people.Among other things, the city lord's mansion needs to be literate to issue a warrant, and then organize everyone to print their fingerprints after reading it.

So Zhu Yingtai simply did not do anything, and took advantage of the winter slack to organize the school-age children from the families of the generals who had no soldiers. The city lord's mansion paid for it, and she took the lead to set up a private school.

Its purpose is fourfold: one is to give an explanation to the soldiers who are not in the war;

Zhu Yingtai's requirements are not too high, and she doesn't ask them to understand the scriptures of sages and sages at all, but only asks them to master some basic words and calendars, which will be beneficial to military practice.

What kind of cause will have what kind of effect.Under the impetus of this purpose, there will be results soon.Batch after batch of children walked out of the military private school and returned home.Now the city lord's mansion sends people to the countryside to post notices, and these children who have already learned can preach to the villagers. There is no need to rely on those "high-minded" people and scholars, and orders from top to bottom are delivered more than ten times faster than before.

Didn't you shut the door to our general, then I'll dig your roots.Literacy is great. When everyone can read, you will be nothing.

However, to Zhu Yingtai's surprise, those military relatives actually set up a shrine for her and Hua Mulan, and went to offer incense and worship on the first and fifteenth day of every Lunar New Year.

The restless Zhu Yingtai expressed her fear when she curled up in Hua Mulan's arms to keep warm at night, which made Hua Mulan chuckle: "It's okay, they just express their feelings."

This understatement did not comfort Zhu Yingtai. You must know that in the Southland, only the prefect and prefect who are highly respected and guard the side are eligible to set up a shrine to worship.Now that she is only a weak crown, and her position is only a master book, how can He De stand in the ancestral hall and be worshiped by others.

Hua Mulan just hugged her tightly when she heard the words: "The north is no better than the south. There have been wars here all the time. It is not uncommon for them to be deserted for hundreds of miles. I once heard a sentence from the governor, yesterday we were neighbors, today we are neighbors." Enmity, swinging your blade at each other, it's no one's fault."

Sensing Hua Mulan's depressed mood, Zhu Yingtai turned around and hugged her. Hua Mulan patted Zhu Yingtai's back and continued: "In Mobei, death is not a rare thing. Only by living can you appear Strange."

Zhu Yingtai thought about it, and it was true.Whether it was the family members of the unsoldiers who came to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones, or mourning for the late emperor, their expressions were very calm, so calm that all this seemed to be taken for granted.

"Yingtai, you should be very clear about the identities of these people under my rule before they came to the city to expand their borders." Speaking of this, Hua Mulan paused, and took out a lock of Zhu Yingtai's hair from her arms , Changed to a comfortable position and continued to say: "None of the ten soldiers assigned to me by the imperial court, among the rest, there are prisoners, refugees, and rebels. But no matter what kind of people they are, they are not good families." Son. They came to Mobei to earn their lives. Every extra day they live in the army counts as their earning."

"But now, I allocate land and houses for them. Those who bring their families can rely on them. If they are single, they may ask for leave and go back to get married when they find a woman they like. This has already given them hope of living, so the whole building Everyone is willing to die for me."

"Yingtai, you are even more remarkable, and you have given them hope."

"Hope?"

"Yes, hope. No matter when and where, people always want to live a better life. When people are in danger, they want to live with a mouthful of hot porridge. When they have hot porridge, they think about meat porridge. At best, I was the one who gave hot porridge, not like Yingtai, who gave them meat porridge."

What Hua Mulan said was very cryptic, but what a smart person Zhu Yingtai is, she understood after a little thought.

According to the Beiyan military system, military households come from the right age to form an army, and the father dies and the son succeeds. Once there are no males in the family to undertake military service and cannot afford the expensive service money, the military household's identity will be deprived and reduced to a military household. Inferior civilians bear taxes and miscellaneous labor many times heavier than military households, and their families are ruined and reduced to refugees in an instant.It was because of this situation that Hua Mulan resolutely disguised herself as a man to serve her father in the army.

Nowadays, none of the boys studying in private schools are over 14 years old, and they are all under the age of conscription. Presumably, the eldest brother in the family has served in the military.As the second sons, as long as their eldest brother is fine, they naturally have many other opportunities for them to choose from.But in Mobei, as long as you have a rough knowledge of writing and ink, you can rise up many steps, which is enough to take off with your family. This is what Hua Mulan called meat porridge.Words are their entry level, as for how high they can climb, it all depends on their good fortune.

"Understood? Don't panic now. It's still Yingtai that you don't want to be worshiped by the villagers side by side with me. Do you want me to issue an order tomorrow to ban your ancestral temple?"

Just as Zhu Yingtai figured out that she remembered Hua Mulan's words, she was really angry from the bottom of her heart. The general of her family was getting more and more mischievous, and actually used such words to tease her.He usually looks like a serious person, so why does he start to smile when he is alone.

So Zhu Yingtai turned evil and kicked Hua Mulan hard, vowing to express her anger.

Unexpectedly, this kick elicited a low howl.

"Yingtai, hiss..."

The person beside her trembled slightly, and Zhu Yingtai didn't know where she was. She thought she had kicked Hua Mulan's wound, and Zhu Yingtai hurriedly lifted the quilt to check on Hua Mulan's injury.

But was restrained by a backhand, a fiery kiss fell on the forehead, and there was a line of ridicule: "Master, don't worry, someone lied to you."

That night, Zhu Yingtai, who was kissed so badly that she was so filthy, swore in her heart that she couldn't believe a word Hua Mulan said on the bed, she's a big liar!

But one code counts for one code, I walked out of my thoughts and sorted out the military newspapers processed this morning by category, thinking about sending them back for Hua Mulan to print in a while.Zhu Yingtai finally had time to look up at the schoolchildren in the private school.

Zhu Yingtai has always been very reassuring about them, because as the children of the poor, they were governors earlier and knew what kind of opportunity it means to study for free in a private school.Therefore, Zhu Yingtai's work is also very easy, as long as she teaches them a little and then arranges them to practice calligraphy, there is no need to bother at all.

But this time when Zhu Yingtai looked up, she found a different scene. The children did not practice calligraphy at their desks as usual, but they all stared out of the window with their necks stiffened, as if there was some strange scene outside.

Zhu Yingtai didn't stop immediately, but followed the children's eyes, wanting to find out, and then gave each of these brats a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.

With just a casual glance, Zhu Yingtai's gaze froze, and the brush in her hand fell to the table with a thud, forming ink circles one after another.

Zhu Yingtai saw a pillar of beacon smoke, red.

She was no longer the young girl who didn't know anything when she first came to the Northland. Naturally, she knew very well what the red beacon smoke represented.

A pillar of red smoke means that [-] Rouran troops are knocking on the side.She had discussed the military situation with Hua Mulan, and she was ready for the Rouran people to attack the border.It's just that I didn't expect that people from Rouran would come in such a hurry, and there would be so many people.

The nails sank into the palm, and the severe pain made Zhu Yingtai calm down.She forced herself to calm down and looked at the young children in the private school, and said as calmly as possible: "This is the end of today's school, and you all go home. Pass down the military order of the master, and you are not allowed to go out if you have nothing to do. According to the walled city, defend yourself."

The school children suddenly agreed, they were children who grew up in the flames of war, and they were more sensitive to war than Zhu Yingtai, so they packed their bags and rushed home without mentioning it.

After seeing off the last schoolboy, the incoming soldiers sent by Hua Mulan also arrived.

"Master, there is an urgent military situation. The owner sent me to escort the master back to the city to take charge of the overall situation."

Zhu Yingtai calmed down at this moment, threw the cloth bag containing the military report to the messenger soldier, and rode the horse that Hua Mulan had chosen for her, and rushed towards the city like the wind.

When Zhu Yingtai lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in, Hua Mulan was wearing her armor.Seeing Zhu Yingtai coming in, she was about to smile and say something, but was pushed back by her low pressure.

Zhu Yingtai stepped forward with a serious face, opened Hua Mulan's hand, and tiptoed to fasten the armor for Hua Mulan.The complexion is very bad, but the technique is very gentle, anyway, Hua Mulan thinks it is much better than her own.

Since Hua Mulan is a woman, it is not easy to ask her personal guards to wear it for her, so she usually only wears light leather armor that can be worn by herself.This time, the special situation was that she was wearing iron armor, and she was worried that she would not be able to bend down to wear the armor. Zhu Yingtai, who arrived in time, solved the big trouble for her.

Like a puppet on a string, Zhu Yingtai instructed Zhu Yingtai to put on the iron armor. Hua Mulan turned around and saw Zhu Yingtai who was silently crying with red eyes.

Only now did Hua Mulan realize that her little master was afraid.

Raising her arms with some difficulty, Hua Mulan hugged Zhu Yingtai into her arms, touched the little master's soft hair, and assured her, "Don't worry, the barbarian who can kill me hasn't been born yet."
