Chapter 424 Gaochang Uighur: Suffered!I'm a soft persimmon
In Xiabaima Village, Minqin County, Liangzhou, a grand wedding ceremony is being held.

The bride is the second lady Wang who is as beautiful as a flower.

She was sitting in a carriage with two tall horses, and the carriage was filled with colorful brocades and fine snow-white cotton cloth, all of which were her dowry.

The body is covered with jewels and emeralds, and it is full of jewels and jewels from a distance, blinding people's eyes.

"Second Sister Wang, what is this on your head? It's so beautiful!"

A group of children ran and laughed after the carriage. Fortunately, the convoy was not moving fast, and the children could still keep up.

Mrs. Wang proudly touched the big golden hairpin on her head. It was carved with hovering dragons and phoenixes, supplemented by strange woods of birds, beasts, and glittering and translucent.

It is even made of gold, pearls, and precious stones, and it may not weigh more than a catty. Wearing it on her head, Second Lady Wang felt that her neck was about to break.

But this painful torture is sweet, even if you don't talk about craftsmanship, this is a pound of gold, pearls, and precious stones!

Well, there's actually some gold-plated brass inside, too.

But it is still extremely precious, the market price is at least thousands of guan, ordinary people, etc., can't save so much money in a lifetime.

She is getting married today, so no matter how uncomfortable it is, she should wear it on her head to show off.

"This one! It was Jin Buyao, the eldest brother of the Zhang family who gave him a reward from the king after he broke through the city of Nanjun!"

Mrs. Wang waited for a long time, and finally when someone asked about the huge golden step on her head, she immediately yelled out with the loudest voice, as if she was afraid that others would not know.

The eldest brother of the Zhang family is Zhang Xiaobiao, the eldest son of the eldest son of the Zhang family in Xiabaima Village, and the second lady Wang is the daughter of the villager's father-in-law, a strong man surnamed Wang.

Zhang Xiaobiao made great contributions in the battle of Baiyanchi and the siege of Xiazhou successively. Especially in the siege of Xiazhou, Zhang Xiaobiao squatted on Lu's bus and shot and killed more than [-] soldiers of the Dingnan army with a magic arm bow in four months. people.

After the war, the meritorious service was the first meritorious service of the All-United Archers. According to the new system of Liangguo, the meritorious policy was transferred five times, and Zhong Yilang was awarded the 47th rank of the honorary officer.

In fact, he was awarded the first general of the third capital of the seventh battalion of Zuo Yulinwei, the first general of the second team, the title of brave and effective archer, and ordered the guards to stay in the forbidden palace.

"Second sister Wang is lying, how can the golden step be so big, the one on my mother's head is the golden step, only this big."

A slightly older girl, maybe seven or eight years old, was a little dissatisfied. She gestured for a normal golden step, trying to prove that Mrs. Wang was lying.

Girls generally mature a little earlier than boys. When the boys are still shouting and cheering to see the bride, the little girl's heart is already a little sour.

Mrs. Wang shook her head triumphantly, but she forgot the weight of Jinbuyao on her head, and almost twisted her neck. Suddenly she was a little unhappy and hummed softly.

"Your mother's golden step was made by the blacksmith of Wen Bu's family at the entrance of the village, and mine was rewarded by the king.

It used to be a um, anyway, it was used by a nobleman, this is the real golden step, you think anyone can have it! "

Saying that, Mrs. Wang thought of her big wedding today, and she should be happy, so she put on a smirk all over her face, combined with a proud expression and a little bit of contempt in her eyes, it was so hateful and hateful.

The little girl was not deeply involved in the world, so she couldn't stand this blow. For a while, the acid water burst out, and the sense of grievance almost drowned her. Finally, when she couldn't hold back anymore, the little girl burst into tears.

"My mother's golden step was not made by the blacksmith of Wen Bu's family. It was made by Dafu Jinbao in Liangzhou City. When I get married in the future, I will have such a golden step."

"Then you don't have any now!" Mrs. Wang Er made another stab at the right time.

"Wow!"

When the little girl heard it, she collapsed instantly, and the bride didn't even look at it, and ran home screaming and howling.

When she was young, she secretly swore in her heart that she would marry a hero like the eldest brother of the Zhang family in the future, and earn her such a golden step.

But the little girl didn't know that the difficulty was really not that high.

Because the golden step on Wang Er's head was pulled directly from the head of Li Yiyin's mother, the military governor of the Dingnan Army.

And Li Yiyin's father is Li Renfu, his real name is Tuoba Sijing, and he has two elder brothers named Tuoba Sizhong and Tuoba Sigong.

This golden step was awarded by Zhu Quanzhong, the Taizu of Zhu Liang, when Li Renfu succeeded to the throne as the envoy of the Dingnan Army, and it was hidden by the court of the Later Liang Dynasty.

. . . .

At the entrance of Baima Village, seeing Zhang Xiaobiao, the eldest brother of the Zhang family, coming back to greet his relatives, there was a burst of cheers, and among the cheering crowd, a group of people were very conspicuous.

What's weird, these people are actually wearing armor, a pair of cotton armor, seven pairs of iron armor, more than twenty pairs of chain mail and leather armor.

Looking at Zhang Xiaobiao, who was welcoming his relatives, he was not wearing a bright red official uniform, but a bright red cotton armor.

The men from the Wang family in Shangbaima Village who sent off their relatives also wore Qing Yishui's iron and leather armor.

Those who know know that this is a wedding ceremony and seeing off relatives, but those who don't know think that the two villages are about to start a fight.

This is also the most peculiar scenery in Liangguo's countryside today. When they get married and greet their relatives, in addition to boasting of dowry, they also boast of their military strength.

If a girl gets married and doesn't have relatives and friends to wear a few sets of armor to see her off, it must be that the family has no strength and no competent people. If the girl gets married and is bullied, no one can take care of her.

The same is true for the bridesmaids. Your family doesn't even have a few soldiers who can fight, which means that your family must be bullied in the village, and the men in the family are all incompetent.

In today's Liang Country, soldiers with their own armor almost become the existence of luxury cars for marriage in later generations, which is the best embodiment of strength.

In Shangxiabaima village alone, there are more than [-] households in the area, and there are four sets of cotton armor, more than [-] sets of iron armor, and forty to fifty sets of other chain mail and leather armor.

This is all their own equipment, all of which were bestowed by Zhang Zhao after they achieved military exploits.

Armor is the guarantee of combat effectiveness. It can be said that if there is an enemy attack at this moment, Shangxia Baima Village can immediately form a team of 80 people.

Among them were seven or eight sharpshooters, more than a dozen light armored knights, and hundreds of Yicong Xiaoqi and united archers who could ride horses and shoot arrows.

Because they range from teenagers to 45-year-old men, almost everyone can ride a horse and shoot arrows.

Such a village, not to mention ordinary enemies, is a regular Khitan army. Without hundreds of thousands of people coming, it is impossible to pass through Shangxiabaima Village.

Of course, so many soldiers are not often in the village, and it is also because Shangxiabaima Village is located in Minqin County, which is the capital of Liangzhou, especially because there are several capable people in succession, so there is such a tyrannical force. Nowhere else.

But it can also be seen that Zhang Zhao, the basic force of the Hexi Liang Kingdom, has become very reliable. What Zhang Zhao lacks now is not warriors, but money and food to support the war.

. . . .

Dalang Zhang is actually not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Because at that time, as the fire commander of the jumping army, when he led people into the shield formation of the Dingnan army and opened a gap, his general promised to marry his daughter to his son.

And because of their great achievements in Baiyanchi, their generals were promoted to two ranks in a row, and they became the battalion commander of the Datong Army on the spot.

And the contribution of the strong man of the Wang family in Baiyanchi is not as great as that of Zhang Xiaobiao, who was promoted from the chief of the fire to the deputy of the team. No matter how you look at it, his future is not as good as that of the dignified battalion commander.

However, Zhang Family Dalang couldn't hold back his son Zhang Xiaobiao, and the name of this strong Wang family villager's father-in-law is not for nothing.

When Zhang Xiaobiao was twelve or thirteen years old, he fell in love with Mrs. Wang Erniang secretly, and now he can marry his sweetheart, not to mention the daughter of the battalion commander, even the daughter of the town commander.

The strong man of the Wang family also knew that Dalang Zhang was a bit unwilling to marry his family, so he not only sent all his sons and nephews to send him off in armor, but also invited his nephew Wang Jiulang back from Liangzhou.

Wang Jiulang was different from the others, he was not wearing armor, but a cyan shirt with short hips, and only a simple cyan fur on his head.

Only a piece of jade pendant looming around his waist showed his extraordinary status.

This jade pendant is a symbol of officials in Liang State. Khotan is rich in jade, and Liang State is closely related to Khotan Jin State. Therefore, in Liang State, jade pendants with specific shapes and patterns have become symbols of middle and high-level officials.

Wang Jiulang belonged to a different breed in Shangxiabaima Village. He was similar to Zhang Xiaobiao and the others. When he was a teenager, he also rode horses and archery, fought and fought, and could not read a single word.

However, during the four or five years since Zhang Zhao reopened the Liangzhou State School, Wang Jiulang, who was 13 years old and only started to read and write, made rapid progress and quickly passed the hurdle of literacy.

Up to now, he has just passed King Zhang's imperial examination, and he has just passed the mid-term examination of Yiming Mathematical Sciences.

In addition, his original teacher was from Suiye Guo's family, so after the pilot test, he was directly transferred to Qionglin Academy by Guo Tiance, a senior scholar of Qionglin Academy, as a marching bachelor, responsible for the statistics and allocation of food and grass.

He belongs to the kind of close minister who can meet King Zhang every day, so in Shangxiabaima Village, he is the only person who can be compared with Zhang Xiaobiao who can stay in the Forbidden Palace.

At this moment, these high-end people also took off their armor and began to chat together, but their topics were a bit high-end, and the surrounding villagers could not understand them.

But most of them want to show that they are also in this circle. Although they are confused about various official positions and trends, let alone where Jin, Shu, and Khitan are, they still forcefully nod their heads.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the topic finally reached an aspect that everyone could understand, that is, the king is likely to send troops.

As soon as they heard this, the crowd began to boil a little bit, good to send troops!Send troops to make a fortune and go home to marry a beautiful wife!
When talking about this, Wang Jiulang instantly became the core, because he is the one who knows the king's mind best here, only to hear Wang Jiulang lower his voice and say in a somewhat mysterious way.

"It is very likely that a certain will follow the Ministry of Rites to join the army to Gaochang in the near future. Your Majesty intends to order me to go to Gaochang as an envoy to Uighur."

Everyone's heart was moved when they heard the words, Zhang Xiaobiao had also heard about the recent turmoil, so he said it directly.

"If Jiulang goes to Gaochang, don't give a bad face to the fake Khan of the Pugu family. It's better to make them lose their minds and provoke us, then we'll go fuck them."

For Zhang Xiaobiao and the soldiers of Shangxiabaima Village, Gaochang Uyghur is a real soft persimmon!
Now around Liangzhou, only Khitan, Jin, and Gaochang Uighurs are left.

The Khitan is far away, and it's not that easy to fight. The Guanzhong of the Jin Kingdom has been infiltrated by the King, so it shouldn't be too big to fight.

Even if there is a fight, it must be mainly in Xiongwu Town of Qinzhou and Dingbian Town of Gyeongju.

The only way to fight Gaochang Uyghurs is that there is a lot of oil and water, and the fighting power is not strong. If you bite down, your mouth will be full of meat. Therefore, what they are thinking about is when to fight Gaochang Uyghurs.

Wang Jiulang grinned, "Don't worry, your Majesty sent Wu to join the army, and he was the one who ordered Jieli Pijia of the Gaochang Uighur to lose the title of Heavenly King."

Zhang Xiaobiao became angry at once, "What? Gaochang Uyghur, this pseudo-Khan, dares to call himself the Heavenly King? It's against the sky!
Their ancestors were the rebels of my Great Liang, how dare the descendants be so arrogant? "

The crowd immediately began to scold. In their eyes, Gaochang Uighur, who only has tens of thousands of cavalry, can be called the king of heaven?

"But, what if Jieli Pijia agrees to remove the title of Heavenly King?"

As the father, Zhang Jia Dalang also joined the discussion, and he asked with some concern.

Wang Jiulang sneered, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Wu Canjun has received hints from the king, and we have also discussed it. If Jieli Pijia is willing to lose the title of heavenly king, then we will ask him to send the prince to Liangzhou as a hostage, and immediately convert to Buddha. If he is still willing .”

Speaking of this, Wang Jiulang clenched his fist with one hand and knocked on the table.

"Then let's ask Jieli Pijia to marry the princess to the king as a child, and take Yizhou as a dowry!"

After everyone listened, they were overjoyed. Zhang Xiaobiao clapped his hands, and he was also happy.

"That's all right, the Gaochang Uighurs will definitely not agree."

Ruren was the lowest-ranked concubine in Zhang Zhao's harem, and as the Uighur princess of Gaochang, she naturally refused to humiliate herself like this.

As for using Yizhou as a dowry, that would be even more unacceptable.

As long as they don't agree, there will be excuses and reasons for sending troops.
