Traveler Major League

Chapter 271 It’s not our time anymore
Yuan Chonghuan entered the capital's garrison, and during the collective roll call, he discovered that their group of high-level prisoners of the Ming army were really shining stars and full of talents. There were famous ministers and generals who had heard about them for a long time but had never been masked, and they also turned out to be familiar colleagues.

Sun Chengzong, Zu Dashou, Zhao Lejiao, He Kegang and other old acquaintances who were originally thought to be gone are all here.

However, no matter what happened in the past, today they are all locked up in Jiaozhongfang, south of the Confucius Temple. The Shuntianfu School that used to be in Jiaozhongfang was also ordered to suspend school. The free Shuntianfu School was changed to belong to them. prison.

"The world is in ruins, it is an insult to gentlemen."

Someone in the team kept repeating these words, as if to say that the People's Army was defeated.

The books, manuscripts, collections and other miscellaneous items in the Myeongryundang Hall, Kongsheng Temple and Gyusung Pavilion in the Suncheon Academy were all cleared out. It is said that they were taken away by experts and scholars from the third world, leaving only the remaining buildings. It was empty. Unlike the prison at this time, there were no wooden fences or other barriers. The heavily armed guards were only on the outside and never entered the interior.

Suncheon Academy occupies a large area, surrounded by a wall more than two meters high, and a wooden fence is used to heighten it to create a plank road that can be used by guards.

After entering the door, there is an open space, which is used as a venue for the prisoners of war to gather for roll call.

There are three small buildings in the south. The first two are two-story buildings, and the latter one is one-story. In the middle of the three houses are two gardens. There is an ancient jujube tree planted in the garden behind. It is said that Wen Tianxiangwen was the The Prime Minister planted it with his own hands.

“The jujube flower is small but can bear fruit, and the mulberry leaf is soft but can produce silk.

It's funny that the peonies are as big as a bucket, but they are nothing but empty branches. "

When it blooms, it is red, white, pink and purple, which are the colors of flowers, but the jujube flower is a fine yellow-green color, and each flower has five stubborn petals, as if small nails are densely nailed on the branches, fresh but not squeamish, very of elegance.

Therefore, it was also used as a place for prisoners of war to bask in the sun and relax.

To the east are rows of bungalows.

At the end of the alley, there is an octagonal wooden tower, which is more than ten meters high. The sentry standing on the tower can overlook every alley. At the foot of the octagon, there are some small octagonal buildings and small octagonal gates. Facing the alley, there is an iron gate on each side.

Further away, there are two rows of bungalows, symmetrical from north to south. There is a flat field in the middle of these bungalows, a fertile land in the backyard, and a well in the middle.

The yard is full of sycamore trees, which makes it very quiet.

Yuan Chonghuan soon realized that this group of people should not be treated harshly. The People's Army seemed to want to surrender.

When Yuan Chonghuan walked into the alley of Shuntian Academy, the atmosphere became a little weird. If it was really to recruit them, it would be unreasonable to have a fence and a dormitory in Datongpu. If it was not to recruit them, then the conditions for being locked up here were far away. Far more than the prison of the Ministry of Punishment; this atmosphere made Yuan Chonghuan feel uneasy.

He couldn't help but think about why the People's Army took him to Sunchon Academy. He felt that the People's Army must have their own purpose.

He almost instinctively remembered that before entering the capital, the management office issued an order on war criminals, declaring that all Ming military officers and government officials would be regarded as war criminals if they ordered the massacre of people, destruction of buildings, and destruction of supplies. .

There was also a public statement published by the Popular Alliance in the newspaper, demanding that Ming war criminals be punished under peaceful conditions.

Yuan Chonghuan knew very well that according to the regulations of the Popular Alliance, once it was found that he had issued such an order, he would have become a war criminal.

How did the People's Army punish Ming war criminals? His knowledge of history made him understand that in past dynasties, the victors would never let go of any enemy unless he was useful.

He realized that, based on his past experience, he would probably be punished 100 percent of the time.

But when he thought about this, he couldn't think of a reason to curse the People's Army, he only hated his own fate.

He figured out that this is how dynasties change, some are lucky and some are unlucky. If the Ming Dynasty had the upper hand militarily, these thieves and bandits of the people's army would be bloodbathed, just like what he did when he read Hong Chengchou in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

He thought so too.

Yuan Chonghuan lowered his head and walked slowly into the small octagonal building.

He looked at the cypress tree in front of the pavilion, and suddenly he felt like he was coming out of the dust. Yuan Chonghuan stood at the entrance of the alley and raised his head. He only saw a black wooden sign with the words "A, B, C, D, Geng, pungent".

What was once a school has now become a prison where they are imprisoned.

Yuan Chonghuan suffered from the dual stimulation of psychological terror and horrific environment at the same time. Although the former was not entirely caused by the latter, it was a microcosm of the captured Ming generals. The truly horrific environment that can be said to be the traditional prison of the Ming Dynasty: Chang The 60-meter-long alley corridor is covered with large and small spider webs on the cypress trees; this is a vent that is only as big as a face, not large in area, and the light is not very good. In the left corner of the room, there is a large wooden barrel. The excrement in the barrel has dried and is covered with white fluff. Whenever the sun shines in through the vent, the cell is filled with a smell of The smell of rotting corpses.

Correspondingly, Yuan Chonghuan's room is now clean and tidy. After all, it is where the original Fuxue Academy was located, but the resident's mood is different. At this time, the resident still has a creepy feeling. The reason why he can be here He fell asleep peacefully simply because he found that half of the civilian soldiers and prisoners who followed him in Shuntian Academy were people he knew, which made him half relaxed.

For example, the gentle young Director Zhu does not seem to have a bad temper.

Yuan Chonghuan will never forget that Director Zhu talked to him again and again, even his smile was a lady's smile, which made Yuan Chonghuan secretly wonder why the People's Army was so strong on the battlefield but so weak off the battlefield.

Of course, what the Chinese pay attention to is moral cultivation. Perhaps it was Director Zhu's earnest words that made Yuan Chonghuan determined to write a corrected version of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" he read. Expect.

While the streets of Daeming Dynasty are still filled with dilapidated toilets, the sanitary facilities here at Suncheon Academy have been gradually improved and modernized.

The newly built bathrooms (with ponds and showers), laundry rooms, and public toilets (with flush toilets) all amazed these former Ming Dynasty executives.

In this dormitory, everyone can understand that the middle window is covered with window paper, but replacing it with a large piece of glass seems too extravagant to them.

Transparent, windproof, and expensive.

This is everyone's first impression.

There is a bed against the wall in the room. The beds are divided into single and double beds. Each bed is more than a foot high. The bed is covered with sheets, and the quilts and pillows are all new. There is a table in every room, and there is a table under the table. With a few wooden benches, this dormitory feels like a big family.

These original high-level officials could conclude based on this alone that the people's army would definitely be able to create a new dynasty and seize the world. The evidence for this is the situation in the world.

Evening newspaper reading meeting.

"The First Division of the Second Army of the People's Army has marched to Lulong County, which is less than 140 miles away from Shanhaiguan. Cao Huachun, the former eunuch of Li Bingbi, has entered Shanhaiguan in advance to recruit surrender with a letter written by His Majesty Chongzhen to persuade him to surrender. During the negotiation process, this surrender delegation Sincere consultations have yielded remarkable results, and based on more than written revisions submitted by representatives of the Liaodong military and civilians, they have been submitted and adopted by the People's Alliance. Peaceful liberation has once again become the ideal choice of the Liaodong military and civilians. "

"...For Ming Dynasty, it is long overdue to carry out thorough transformation and promote a new life to adapt to the times, create a new era, and complete the historical mission of the people of the Popular Alliance. Now, if we take a longer-term view and put our thoughts If you relax a little and consider the happiness of the country, the nation, and future generations, then you don't need to be pessimistic, but you can be more optimistic. The country needs to be new, the people want to be new, and we also need to be new. Why should we, the Ming Dynasty, and individuals be determined? To fall behind?”

"The slaves in Liaodong were ready to move, and they were constantly hoarding food and grass to mobilize soldiers and horses, intending to plot evil. If according to the original historical records, the bandit leader Aixinjueluo Huang Taiji was expected to pass through Mongolia next month, the second day of October in the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and end at Mongolia Kara The Qinbu cavalry served as guides and led the Eight Banners bandits to avoid the Guanningjin defense line, detour to the Mongolian area, and raid the fragile passes of Longjing Pass and Da'ankou in the Jizhen defense zone of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. They broke through the wall and entered the fort, attacking the capital area. Our People's Army was the first The first army has been mobilized and is ready to annihilate the bandit army at any time. Here, our Popular Alliance openly publishes a newspaper and publishes a document demanding that the slaves immediately stop the attack, surrender unconditionally to our Popular Alliance, and unconditionally hand over all traitors and war criminals from the Nurhaci period to the present. Criminals and their anti-humanity criminals must hand over their illegal gains and accept the presence of our People's Army. Otherwise, our People's Alliance will have to take resolute military measures. The situation is dangerous and the consequences will be serious. We must warn the slave-establishing authorities not to It’s said that it was unexpected!”

Yuan Chonghuan walked out of the room slowly, like an old man, looking at the twinkling stars directly above through the entrance of the alley. Zu Dashou trotted behind him. This former colleague and subordinate said with unstoppable joy on his face: "Sir, Jian I’m really going to die!”

"Yes, it's really over. This is no longer our era."

Two sighs, life is like a dream.
