Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 165
The atmosphere of this night is still extremely weird, just like last night, no one can sleep, full of worries, unconsciously looking at the bulging Chinese army tent surrounded by the middle of the camp, for the future of Zhaoan, Most people have longing and disappointment in their hearts.

Shengsheng sat on the wooden stakes between the camps all night, Xing Hongniang also looked at the big camp with a lot of thoughts. From the beginning of knowing Song Qingshu, this man was sometimes dumbfounded, and sometimes he surpassed all the men he had ever seen. From a resolute, strong foolish man, he has never treated himself so coldly before.

That kind of estrangement makes people feel extremely cold.

Now, Hongniang Xing is a little envious of Caiwei who was dragged into it by Song Qingshu.

She was fascinated by watching, when suddenly a piece of clothing was draped over her body, she turned her head in astonishment, but it was Li Xin who nodded to himself with a warm smile.

"Sister Hong, what you did was right, don't worry, Datou Song will understand you!"

Once lived in Li's family in Qi County for more than a year, Li Xin was like an older brother in Xing Hongniang's eyes, but seeing his smile now, Xing Hongniang suddenly felt particularly awkward, and hurriedly tore off his body. The clothes were handed back, and he lowered his head unnaturally and refused.

"Thank you Brother Li, I'm not cold."

Li Xin was also embarrassed by this estrangement, and helplessly turned his face away and coughed.

At this time, hundreds of cronies gathered in a circle at the entrance of the Chinese army's big tent suddenly stood up and lined up, and the tents were thrown open at once. Seeing Song Qingshu walking out of the tent fully clothed, Xing The matchmaker ran over in a hurry, but Waiyan and Qingjian slayer blocked her out, and Song Qingshu didn't even look at her.

On the contrary, Caiwei, who was following behind, looked at her and gave her a helpless look, and Xing Hongniang shook her fist in anger: "This dead man, why are you so narrow-minded?"

The entire battalion seemed to wake up following Song Qingshu's actions. More and more peasant troops got up and followed behind Song Qingshu's team. The army barracks set off.

Hong Chengchou seemed to be sure of winning, he had expected that Song Qingshu would come to him, and he set up his formation at the gate of the camp early on. More than 500 cavalry were lined up like wild goose wings, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers behind him were also lined up neatly. There were actually some peasant soldiers in the army, a guy who looked like Popeye was wearing ripped sheepskin, and stood beside Hong Chengchou in a stupid way, and there were a few strong men beside him. On the other side, He Renlong, Hu Dawei and the others also looked unhappy.

Really disheartened, Song Qingshu was at the front, weakly, and fell to the ground with a plop facing the gate, shouting loudly: "Song Qingshu, the criminal, and more than [-] disorderly people under his command pay a visit to the governor of Yansui. , the criminals and the like are so bold that they tried to resist the government army in vain, the crime is heinous, please punish the governor!"

Following behind, more than 6000 peasant soldiers helping the old and the young also knelt down and knelt down in unison, saying: "The criminals have committed a heinous crime, please punish the governor!"

If the crime is really punished, it will be a life-and-death fight, and Hong Chengchou puts on such a big show, most of which are actually for the stern peasant army next to him. When Song Qingshu completes the etiquette, he immediately seeks talents and is thirsty. He hurriedly ran down the platform, laughed and helped Song Qingshu up.

"The prodigal son will not be exchanged for money when he turns back. His Majesty has ordered that as long as he finds his way back and forgives all sins, what is the crime of Brother Song? Come, come, get up with me!"

The Sanwen beard was about to turn up with a smile, Hong Chengchou enthusiastically pulled Song Qingshu and walked to the barracks with him, and the peasant army behind him also stood up, but they were not qualified to go in, so they could only watch helplessly. Looking out.

Scarface, Liu Zongmin and the others followed Song Qingshu, Old Man Xing, Hongniang Xing, etc. after hesitation, and also followed behind. Wang Guowei also seemed to follow, but was pushed out by the officers and soldiers at the door without hesitation.

Just like Song Qingshu entertained him yesterday, Hong Chengchou also threw a big banquet today, but his central army tent is much more grand than Song Qingshu's, with officers and peasants standing on both sides, dozens of people are spacious, and two roasted whole lambs in the middle There was an aroma on the fire, and a large bowl of wine had already been poured and placed on the table.

Song Qingshu's case was next to Hong Chengchou's, and on Hong Chengchou's right hand, it was second only to his left hand. For Song Qingshu, Hong Chengchou seemed to be really caring. As soon as he was seated, he pointed to him and laughed and introduced him.

"Brother Song, this is General Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Yansui. You have lied to him for more than ten days in Yan'an Mansion. You will have to toast and apologize later!"

Du Wenhuan had a standard face of a general of the Ming army, with a big beard covering half of his face, making him look rather fierce. He saluted Song Qingshu's clasped fists, but this man snorted disdainfully, and seemed to be still brooding.

"This is Wang Zuogua. Just like you, brother, you also know your way back. You will become neighbors in the future, and you need to get to know each other!" Hong Chengchou seemed not to see Du Wenhuan's disdain, and smiled again He waved his hand to introduce the Popeye who was not far away from Song Qingshu's attack, but unexpectedly, this person was more attractive than Du Wenhuan, and turned his face away.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was still full of smiles and introduced them one by one, Song Qingshu understood that he was not a welcome banquet, he was obviously here to attract hatred, let Wang Zuo hang his troops, and the frontier army was a little hostile to him, but thinking about it Normally, in the future, Hong Chengchou would expect Song Qingshu to provide him with food and money. These days, whoever has food is the uncle. What if he got along with them too well and made Hong Chengchou empty, what should he do?
Especially Wang Zuogua, he and he both have criminal records, if they get along well, so what?

Anyway, he was discouraged and lazy, so Song Qingshu regarded himself as a fool, and when Hong Chengchou introduced one, he hugged his fists.

After drinking a tasteless meal for less than half an hour, Hong Chengchou personally led Wang Zuohang and Song Qingshu to the back tent alone. Song Qingshu and Song Qingshu bowed three times to the imperial decree, and Hong Chengchou took out the prepared official seal.

The two are the same age, both are Dusi, but Song Qingshu doesn't care, anyway, he has a Dusi as if he doesn't have one, he still wants to wait two years, find a way to work hard in the south, bring his wife and concubine, Caiwei Li Bao'er, and have a scarred face , Liu Zongmin and these guys ran away from this big fire pit, this official position really doesn't mean much.

On the contrary, Wang Zuohang’s nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes. He has more than 3 people, and [-] strong men can beat him. Song Qingshu doesn’t even have a fraction of him. Especially shameless.

After receiving the official uniform and official seal, and being close to Hong Chengchou again for a while, Song Qingshu came out weakly, and staggered out, but within two steps, Song Qingshu suddenly felt something, and turned his head abruptly .

At the door of Hong Chengchou’s tent, there are two on the left and one on the right. Three soldiers stand there like pillars. No matter how you look at them, you can’t see anything unusual there. You rubbed your eyes in astonishment. Maybe what happened yesterday was a big blow. That's it, Song Qingshu simply continued to walk out weakly.

He didn't pay attention, and when he was far away, he came out of the tent with a few violent coughs, and immediately poked out half of his pockmarked face, staring at the direction he was going away with hatred...

Nearly 20 peasant troops forcibly crossed the Yellow River, went to Shanxi, and then got rid of Song Qingshu, Wang Zuohang and two large peasant armies, and the Yan'an government was actually peaceful. There are tens of hundreds of refugees and robbers, but the government and army don't care about it for the time being. Anyway, these people can't take down the county, so they will rob them.

Escorted by 1 multilateral troops, the peasant army under the command of Song Qingshu and Wang Zuohang was driven back to Yan'an Mansion, and finally ran out, circled a big circle, and came back again, which makes people sigh the good fortune trick people.

But in the middle of the trip, some troubles happened again. Song Qingshu's army was out of food, and he was already the capital of the imperial court. Song Qingshu simply went to Hong Chengchou to ask for food. Unfortunately, Hong Chengchou shrugged helplessly at him directly and told him no, In private, he told him to snatch it by himself.

This made Song Qingshu a little dumbfounded. As far as the virtue of the officers and soldiers is concerned, it is no wonder that Shaanxi can be stable.

Since there is no food, let alone the farm tools and tools needed to build a house after settling down, Song Qingshu went to Hong Chengchou to approve a note, asking Liu Zongmin to take a few hundred people to Shangluo and go to Shangnan Get the iron ore hidden in the mountains.

At the end of June, the large team stopped in a mountainous area to the east of Yan'an Mansion. The capital guards of Song Qingshu and Wang Zuojia were officially divided there. In order to guard against them, Hong Chengchou also stationed 1 soldiers in Yan'an Mansion. Ma, and before he left, he even tricked Song Qingshu by dividing 3000 of Wang Zuogua's subordinates into his capital guards. It was given to Wang Zuohang, and now, Liang Zi is dead in the two guards that are separated by a river.

A barren mountain and wild ridge without even a thatched hut, more than 500 loads of rotten potatoes with sprouts, rotten sweet potatoes, and moldy corn, and more than 6000 garrison troops waiting to be fed, and almost 5000 strong men are all in the government. In the military register, I just hope that the government will pay the army, it has been a long time!This is what Song Qingshu's Ganquanwei looks like.

"Qing, master, what should we do now?"

It can be regarded as saying goodbye to the officers and soldiers, setting up camp in this wilderness and hills, many people are still asleep in the open air, old man Xing came to Song Qingshu in a difficult situation, and he swallowed the word "green", and replaced it with Got a title.

The two hadn't spoken a word for more than ten days, and that kind of estrangement was truly split in the army.

Song Qingshu also shrugged indifferently: "You want to recruit security, so you can do whatever you want!" After saying that, he turned into the high-end Chinese military tent that Hong Chengchou sent him off again, disheartened.

Looking at his back, Old Man Xing sighed sadly again...
