The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 216 Mr. Ye said that Zhu Yuanzhang knew nothing but couldn’t get angry, the bright and warm way home in the cold wind of the dark night!
Yinshi, also known as Pingdan, means that the sun stays on the horizon.

Halfway through Yin hour, also known as dawn, is the transition between day and night.

But in this frontier land with mountains, plains, basins, and grasslands, it's still night.

Fortunately, the night sky in the frontier land has an exceptionally bright full moon and a sky full of bright stars.

It is precisely because of this night sky that the Yanmen Pass standing garrison soldiers walking on the road back to camp can not see the road clearly.

But at this time, the frontier area was filled with thick fog that could cover half of the body.

Not to mention that I couldn’t see even my fingers, but the visibility was less than ten steps!

Soldiers in military uniforms, either walking alone or leading horses wearing vests, walked on this fairyland-like road back to camp.

Finally, they left home one after another and met on the three county roads leading to their respective camps.

Within the county seat,

The three avenues leading to Yanmen Guanzhong Gate and the East and West Gates were already lined with women dressed in red and carrying red lanterns.

At the same time, the private houses and shops on both sides also invariably lit up their own lights, literally lighting up as many lights as there were.

The reason why they did this was just so that the light shining through the windows could completely illuminate the soldiers' way back to camp.

No one informed or arranged in advance.

It's just that some of Yanmen's "military wives" in this era lived near the main road. After seeing off their husbands, they would hold up a lantern to provide light for other soldiers.

Soon, there were many women wearing red clothes and holding red lanterns along the three avenues leading to Sanmen.

The same goes for the private houses and shops on both sides of the avenue that light up their own lights. One house lights up, followed by ten, until all are lit up.

In the dead of night, the soldiers walked on the brightly lit road back to camp, feeling that it not only illuminated their way forward, but also warmed their hearts.

The cold night at the frontier, the cold howling night wind, and the armor on the body as cold as ice, were nothing in front of the light sent by these hometown elders.

There is no thanks, no salutes from left and right, no exchange of words, only eyes looking ahead, and only silence moving forward!
There is only one determination to fight to the death in order to protect the lights of thousands of families behind him, to protect the fathers and fellow villagers behind him, and to protect his wife, children, and children!

Only the enthusiasm of "The enemy wants to enter the pass unless all of them are killed"!

At this very moment,
Suddenly, a deep, rough and exciting sound sounded, which was the sound of the morinouqin that originated from the Meng Yuan Dynasty.

I don’t know which house in the city the sound of the piano is coming from, but I can tell that it’s definitely not just one person playing the piano.

Inside a window somewhere on the avenue,
An old Meng Yuan man who had settled in the pass and obtained his native place in the Ming Dynasty was watching these returning soldiers, playing the matouqin in his hand.

The reason why Qin Yin is excited is that he is already a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and his son is also a Ming Dynasty cavalry returning to camp, and is a member of the standing garrison of Yanmen Pass.

He wants to use his own method to inspire his son and his son's Han brothers!

The reason why Qin Yin is rough is because he still has a vague nostalgia for his hometown in his memory!
The reason why the sound of the piano is deep is because the opponent is his current country and his eternal hometown!

After a while,

This old Meng Yuan man who had obtained his native place in the Ming Dynasty could no longer see returning soldiers in military uniforms.

He just looked at the gate tower of Yanmen Pass that was vaguely visible in the distance, and just looked at the sky outside the pass, his eyes full of anticipation.

He looks forward to the day when everyone inside and outside the country will be as close as one family, which will come soon!

He hoped that the soldiers inside and outside the pass would no longer be hostile, but would wear the same armor and become true comrades to deal with other enemies together!

Although he knew it would be difficult to see it in his lifetime, he still looked forward to it!

At the end of Yin and the beginning of Mao, at dawn.

The standing garrison at the central gate of Yanmen Pass and the east and west gates all returned to camp and changed their defenses again under Ye Qing's order.

These standing defenders, who had returned from their journey after being reunited with their families, immediately scaled the city wall.

They have no rest time, and even breakfast can only be done at their posts.

On the corridor on the third floor of Yanmen Middle Gate Gate Tower,
After standing guard all night with his eyes open, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little tired and yawned three times in a row.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the guard standing downstairs of the city gate eating steamed buns, and felt that their breakfast configuration was quite good, with one big steamed bun for each person, a boiled egg and a bowl of hot milk.

But no matter how good you are at breakfast, you can't make up for the loss of staying up late!

Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be a veteran among veterans. He naturally knew that these defenders who hurried home and returned to camp would never sleep at home.

After Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyes, he looked at Ye Qing with a somewhat reproachful look.

He just asked seriously: "Master Ye, do you think they can make up for it with a good breakfast?"

"We are sure that when they return, they will not only worship their ancestors, say goodbye to their families, but they will even have sex with their wives."

"Coupled with the hassle of rushing home and rushing back to camp, the losses they incurred by staying up for one night were more than the losses they incurred by staying on guard for two consecutive nights."

"If we were you, even if we changed defense last night, we would just replace them and let them go back to the camp to sleep peacefully for the night."

After hearing this, Ye Qing just rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look at their eyes!" After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, although puzzled, still looked in the direction of Ye Qing's finger.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the guard's eyes clearly from the side through the light on the city wall, his eyes immediately lit up.

In his eyes,

Guard Liu Zhong, who was having breakfast, was just looking at the enemy camp in front of him, his eyes were very firm, and his eyes were as fierce and sharp as a falcon. In short, there was no trace of fatigue.

When Ye Qing saw Mr. Guo in front of him, he looked like he had some understanding, but was not fully enlightened. He knew that he saw what Ye Qing wanted him to see.

Ye Qing just smiled and said: "Let them sleep peacefully for a night, it is better to let them realize their wish in advance."

"I have no experience in leading troops in war, but I can be sure that when a soldier is dying in battle, he must have only one wish, and that is to 'go home'."

"The expedition does not have this condition, but this is a battle for the local men to defend their homeland and the country, so they have this condition."

"Since we have this condition, how can we not let them fulfill their wish in advance?"

"Going home, hugging their parents, wives and children, and even having sex with their wives will not only not make them tired, but will also inspire them to be determined to die."

"Besides, they are all still young. They are not as tired as you, standing and staring all night."

"You have kidney deficiency, but they don't!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing, his eyes changing from recognition to anger.

But at this moment, Ye Qing turned around again and looked directly into the eyes of Mr. Guo, who was obviously angry. His eyes were full of provocation.

"If you said you knew nothing before, you would be angry."

"But now that you know nothing, you are too embarrassed to be angry!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened.

He had felt that something was wrong with Ye Qing before. If it had been before, Ye Qing would have said, "You know nothing" and then reluctantly explained the reason.

He was still thinking that the sun was about to rise from the west, and this man was so polite and polite.

Now I understand, I was waiting here!
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his body had a reaction of 'fighting fire with fire', which directly made him feel tired.

Judging from his current state, as long as he was asked to lift Ye Qing's collar and punch him in the mouth, even if he was punched hundreds of times in a row, he would never be able to breathe.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to curse, thunderous war drums sounded instantly!

"Dong dong!"

At the same time, the sound of dense footsteps, the sound of horse hooves and the scraping of armor came from the direction inside the pass.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang looked at the soldiers arriving from the east and west gates, gathering in the martial arts square at the middle gate, and then they remembered the military order Ye Qing had just issued.

Just when the standing garrison of the middle gate returned to camp, Ye Qing knew that the standing garrison of the east and west gates should also return to camp.

Ye Qing immediately ordered that after the standing garrison at the east and west gates changed their defenses and returned to the city wall, the garrison responsible for guarding the east and west gates immediately rushed to the middle gate to take the oath.

Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers the reason why Ye Qing issued this order.

"The standing garrison no longer needs to swear oath. Their parents, wives, children, and fellow villagers will 'swear oath' for them!"

"All you need to do is swear oath to these garrison troops stationed inside and outside the city wall!"

"."

At the third quarter of Mao hour, when the sun rises.

The four guards of Yanmen totaled [-] soldiers. Except for the three standing garrison, everyone gathered here.

After gathering, they all looked at Ye Qing who was standing on the martial arts stage.

In their eyes,
At this moment, Mr. Ye was wearing a bright light armor, shining with dazzling gold and silver light under the rising sun.

That feeling of 'returning General Ye' came to my mind again, and became even stronger.

Behind them, Mr. Ye, the middle-aged general wearing a purple-flowered hood on the left, and the private soldier wearing the standard armor on the right also caught their attention.

Although it feels strange, it also feels not simple.

Being able to stand on both sides of their Lord Ye will definitely not be easy!
And at this moment,
Mao Xiang was also shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

He also saw one or two sets of armor made by Yanmen at the Yanmen Arsenal, but he didn't feel that shocked. He was just shocked by the higher level of craftsmanship than the Imperial Arms Bureau.

But now, when ten or twenty thousand sets of armor as bright as new are worn by these high-spirited Yanmen border troops, it's completely different.

When Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene in front of him, he didn't have as obvious a shock reaction as Mao Xiang.

But he could already feel an obvious chill on his back and spine! .
