Chapter 438 Biography
After the arrival of the winter moon.

The weather took a turn for the worse, and the bitter cold wind began to pour into the pass from the side wall, letting people inside and outside the pass know that winter is coming.

The bitter cold wind has been blowing in Jinzhou for a few days, and it has blown away some of the heat that Jinzhou has gained from the sun this year. There is nothing left. A heavy snow is coming.

In the school field in Jinzhou City, the soldiers gathered into some circles, trying to make themselves feel better. In this ghostly windy weather, the higher-ups actually lost their minds.

"What the hell are you going to do with the soldiers? Head, what are you thinking? If you don't come out, we'll freeze to death. Look at the clothes you're wearing, or single clothes. When the wind blows, even the spot in your heart The heat is blown away..." a soldier complained.

"As far as your virtue is concerned, the wind can blow away the heat in your heart?" The small group of people gathered together, and after the soldiers complained, the leader officer taunted.

"Head, I heard that a lot of carts were brought in from the south of the city last night. Did something good arrive? Is it a reward or the legendary cotton coat?" A soldier began to ask the bottom line. The matter of the cotton-padded clothes had already been published in the mansion newspaper. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border gates thousands of miles away in the Ming Dynasty were all looking forward to the arrival of the cotton-padded clothes. Reputation, many soldiers are counting on this time to issue cotton coats.

"Rewards? What do you think? The great war has just ended, and the tartars have returned home or not. It's still two words. You just want rewards? Did you think about it? If the rewards were handed out years ago, that's all." It’s a great deed, and you are still rewarded, your head was caught in the door?” The leading officer disdainfully taught the soldiers who couldn’t hold their heads clearly.

"Then, boss, it must be that the cotton coat has arrived, right?" The soldier didn't care about his officer's ridicule, and then went on to inquire about the news. The news of the officer is always more reliable than that of the soldiers.

"Uh, if you want to talk about this cotton-padded coat, it's a bit reliable. The mansion newspaper has mentioned this for a long time, and everyone has one. I guess your set is indispensable, but it's not a cotton-padded coat." The leading officer thought for a while. , denying this possibility.

"Why? Boss, it's winter and moon, why don't you send cotton coats! You're playing tricks on us again." The soldier asked unwillingly. He heard that there were a lot of carts coming from the south gate last night. It is mysterious and well-covered, quite similar to the legendary Yun cotton-padded clothes.

"How many people do we have in Jinzhou? There is still a long queue of cars delivering cotton clothes, so how many carts do we have to pull? Although there were a lot of carts last night, they couldn't transport so many cotton clothes." The leading officer analyzed. .

"Then, boss, what could it be? What would need to be transported in such a big truck?" Another soldier asked tremblingly, stomping his feet as he asked to keep himself warm.

"Hey, it's hard to guess. Maybe it's a part of the cotton-padded clothes, maybe a small batch at a time, and when they're all shipped, let's distribute them together." The leading officer couldn't figure out what it was, so he had to take A most reliable guess.

"Yes! Head, the little one thinks the same way. It is really impossible to transport so many cotton clothes at once. It must be transported a little at a time, so as not to be snatched by the Tartars. A few days ago, Master Zu led many The warriors have left the city. From a small point of view, they are not chasing the Tartars at all, but escorting these cotton-padded clothes. Head, think about it, if the Tartars snatch these cotton-padded clothes, we are afraid that Jinzhou City will It's going to collapse..." This soldier who can think a little bit connected a lot of news, and made the matter even more inseparable.

"Yep……"

"Yes, definitely right..."

"Head, I guess that's right..."

People in this small circle all agreed with the words of this thinking soldier, and these words were also nodded in agreement by the leading officer, because they really couldn't think of anything

In the noisy school grounds, there are gossips of their own, which are true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish. Perhaps it has been a long time, and they are used to this cold, and some trembling soldiers are no longer trembling. Warm and forget the cold.

……

Yuan Chonghuan led a large number of generals and officials out of the governor's office. Last night, a large number of carriages suddenly entered Jinzhou City. What they brought made him both shocked and frightened. He looked at himself.

"Well, it's snowing..." Yuan Chonghuan walked out of the governor's yamen, the cold wind poured into his neck from his collar, chilling his bones, watching the few sparse snowflakes fall, he said involuntarily, feeling melancholy in his heart, Much better again.

"Futai, it's snowing!" An officer next to him also said happily.

"My lord, this time, we are no longer afraid of the Tartars coming back." An official assistant said ecstatically in a warm tone.The other generals and officials also spoke happily.

"Yes! It's snowing..." The melancholy in Yuan Chonghuan's heart is much better. It's snowing, that is to say, it's a foregone conclusion that the mountains will be covered by heavy snow. In bad years, the snow that falls overnight can even bury people. Therefore, when it snows, the Tartars will definitely retreat. Basically, there is no need to worry about winning or losing this year’s war. I have been worried that the Tartars will take the opportunity to attack Jinzhou. Yuan Chonghuan in the city was completely relaxed. Among the many unsatisfactory news, this is undoubtedly good news.

"Let's go! Go to the school yard..." Yuan Chonghuan shouted loudly, clamped his horse's belly, and urged the horse to run towards the school yard.The generals and officers behind him also rushed up. On the street, because of the cold wind, no one could be seen.

……

There was a rush of hooves.

The gate of the school yard was quickly opened.

"Head, the adults are here." The soldiers who heard the movement immediately yelled, and the school field, which was originally a heated discussion, quickly quieted down and formed a team.

Amidst the sound of war drums and the howling wind, the soldiers had already formed their ranks. In this large school ground, there were few people.

Yuan Chonghuan led a group of people directly onto the Dianjiang platform.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't say a word, and didn't make any movements. Instead, he stood there with the drum beating all the time, which made the soldiers below bewildered.

A small school flew up to Dianjiangtai, saluted, and said: "My lord, Eunuch Qin, Zhang Baihu and the others are almost at Yuanmen."

Watching the little schoolboy open his mouth, Yuan Chonghuan didn't hear what the schoolboy said clearly, but he knew what it was without guessing.

"Got it!" Yuan Chonghuan said.

Xiaoxiao was puzzled, but seeing Master Futai opened his mouth, although he didn't hear it clearly amidst the thundering drums, he still retreated.

"..." Yuan Chonghuan didn't say anything, but just raised his hand.

The drumbeat died away.

Everyone's ears were numb from the shock, and now they finally relaxed.

The soldiers were all curious, what exactly is Master Futai going to do?Is the weather still normal?Could it be that cotton padded clothes are really going to be distributed?However, judging by the complexion of the adults, it seems that it is not a good thing.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't say anything, but led the officials and walked towards the Yuanmen.

The wind was blowing all the time. On the school grounds, the skirts of the soldiers were flying, but the people were still there. The solemn atmosphere permeated the whole school grounds.

The sound of the drums went out, but outside the shaft gate, there was a sound of clanging carriages.

Carriages entered the school grounds one after another. The carriages were well covered and things were piled high. It seemed that a lot of things had been transported.

The entry of the carriage caused a lot of commotion on the school grounds. In the eyes of many people, this was the cotton padded jacket.Otherwise, why are they piled so high and covered so tightly?Isn't it just afraid of rain and snow?

Yuan Chonghuan still didn't speak, but when he returned to the general stage, the leader had changed from one to two.

The carriages were parked one by one in the school yard, and the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding carefully guarded these carriages, which surprised the soldiers in the school yard.

Eunuch Qin was the imperial envoy who announced the decree this time. Seeing that the soldiers had already gathered on the school grounds, he exchanged pleasantries with Yuan Chonghuan and didn't say much.

When he came to the incense table that had been prepared, "Please!" Eunuch Qin shouted.

Yuan Chonghuan led all the generals and officials, and when they heard about it, they knelt down on one knee, ready to receive the imperial edict.

After hearing the imperial edict, the soldiers under the general audience also knelt down on one knee, ready to receive the imperial edict.

Seeing that everyone was kneeling down, Eunuch Qin opened the imperial decree and began to read it.

"By God's fortune, the emperor's edict said: I think that the land of Liao has not yet been leveled, and the rebellious chieftain is still succumbing to the policy and honor, but Laier, the civil and military marshal, is doing his best to be loyal, and setting up a strange victory period. The bandit rewards Chunzhong with a generous salary, and now Mao Wenlong mentions the solitary army to be stationed in Gucheng,... I hereby send the internal minister, the supervisory document, the internal officer, the internal supervisor, Qin Minzheng, the deputy admiral of the Zhongyong Camp, and the deputy admiral of the rebellious chief to pass on the head of the nine sides... hereby." Qin Gonggong The decree was read out.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." The imperial decree had been read out, Yuan Chonghuan thanked him, and got up with all the officials, and the soldiers followed suit.

The content of this imperial decree surprised the soldiers present!This is not a gift of cotton-padded clothes, let alone a reward or payment of money, but a pass on the first nine sides.All the soldiers were horrified, there was no news before, and suddenly it was reported that the first Nine Sides would be passed on, which was really surprising.

After the imperial decree was read, Eunuch Qin came to Yuan Chonghuan again and said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Master Yuan, do you have anything to say? If you don't have anything, our family will start passing the decree..." Eunuch Qin, who was in charge of passing the decree, said fairly.

"I don't have anything to say, I have an imperial envoy..." Yuan Chonghuan didn't have anything to say, and said to Eunuch Qin politely.

"Hey, Mr. Yuan, you are Futai, and you can be regarded as an imperial envoy. There is no need to be called a subordinate official. Besides, this time the first Nine Sides is passed on, and we are not the only one in our family. It can't be counted, it can't be counted..." Eunuch Qin regarded it as an eunuch Said in a characteristic tone.

"Ben Fu understands, Ben Fu has nothing to say, please trouble father-in-law..." Yuan Chonghuan cupped his hands and said.

"Okay! Then our family will start handing down the head. This handing down is hard work and takes a long time. You must be prepared..." Eunuch Qin glanced at Yuan Chonghuan and the officials present, and said.

"Eunuch, please..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

Eunuch Qin smiled, then turned to the people beside him and said, "Master Mao, you can start to pass on the first..."

"Obey!" The person who responded made a clasped fist, which was regarded as a promise.This Lord Mao is Ermao. Like many people in Dongjiang Town, he used the surname Mao, which is a major feature of Dongjiang Town. Because of his meritorious service in the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, he was bestowed by the emperor with a family of Jinyiwei, because Zhenjiang Fort He has meritorious service in combat and is an "advanced representative" of killing Tartars. Therefore, he is one of the "tour performances" and "tour lectures" passed on to the Nine Sides this time.

Ermao came to Dianjiang's platform and shouted loudly: "Chuanshou..." His voice was extremely strong, and with the biting cold wind, it quickly poured into the ears of the soldiers.

A frightening scene happened.

Originally, many soldiers thought that the carts were covered with cotton-padded clothes. After they were opened, they turned out to be cartloads of human heads, and cartloads of rolling human heads. Although it was already winter, snowflakes were falling, and it was already very cold, but, The heads of the carts were lifted, and another thing colder than the bitter cold wind quickly penetrated into the school grounds and penetrated into the bones of everyone.A stench quickly filled the school grounds.

The bitter chill quickly made everyone present tremble.

Some of the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the carriages had their hands wrapped with a layer of cloth, while others wore gloves, and quickly lifted the heads out with a special tool.Because the head died not long ago, it is still lifelike, and it can be seen from the face who the person was originally.

A large number of officers and soldiers have already mentioned the large number of people, forming a long line with heads. This kind of terrifying scene made many people present terrified.

"... Weng Adai..., Meler Ezhen of the Zhenglan Banner of the Tartars, was beheaded in the battle of Zhenjiang Fort in the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, beside the Dachong River..." Ermao saw that the first head had been brought to the side of the general's platform Come on, then, cried out, and sang the name of the head.

This terrifying man's eyes were closed, with a ferocious expression on his face. If he hadn't been caught in the hands of an officer, he seemed to open his eyes at any time.

The officer carrying Weng Adai's head began to walk through the ranks of these soldiers one by one, raising the heads to the height of the soldiers' eyes so that the soldiers could see the faces of the heads clearly. The first nine sides, then, every head has to be seen by every soldier.

"Nerte...,...Mele Erzhen..., cut outside Zhenjiang Fort..." Er Mao sang the names of these heads expressionlessly, and with the fluttering snowflakes falling from the sky, these voices filled the air. Into the ears of everyone in the school grounds.Many of these heads were cut off by himself. He is very familiar with these heads. After seeing them once, he can almost call out the names of each head.

Another officer raised his head, first went up to the general's platform, and passed in front of those officers and assistants, then stepped down from the general's platform, started to lift his head, and walked in front of the soldiers one by one.

On the general stage, the generals are better, but some civil servants, who have never experienced such a battle, have already turned up.Yuan Chonghuan didn't care about these things. In the past two years, he had seen a lot of these things.

"Jueluo Baishan...,...Niulu Ezhen..." One by one, Ermao continued to roll the heads of the heads that had been lifted from the big carriage, in order to complete the task of handing down the heads assigned by the emperor.

On and off the stage, there are many people with pale faces. Even people who are used to seeing life and death scenes will not feel good when they encounter so many dead heads like evil ghosts one after another.

Things that can be vomited are basically vomited out.Many officials and assistants stood in the middle of the team with pale faces.

Gradually, the heads of the tartars who had a little voice had been called, and the rest were ordinary tartars, and Ermao didn't need to be called.Because it's too much.

The condition of the soldiers is the same as that of the officers and assistants. Some of them have already vomited badly.However, without an order, I still had to stand there and watch.

"Mother..." A miserable cry broke the eerie silence of the school grounds.

"Who is making noise?" A general reprimanded loudly.

Everyone looked at the soldiers, and a soldier was screaming miserably, and had already sat down on the ground, shouting and crying unceasingly, the degree of misery was heart-piercing.

"Mother, you died so miserable!...God open your eyes, God open your eyes, I didn't let this wicked man die so badly, now, his head is right in front of my son..., Mother, your great enemy I have to repay it..., thank you Your Majesty for your grace, thank your Majesty for your kindness... mother,... mother..." The soldier looked at the head in front of him, tearing his heart out, and cried loudly without hesitation.

This cry made the soldiers under the stage turmoil, and it also made the officials on the stage turmoil.

This burst of crying up to the sky also aroused the resonance of other soldiers.Many soldiers also began to cry and shout.

"...my daughter-in-law..., you died so badly..., my daughter-in-law, open your eyes..., look at this bastard..., they are all dead,...all of them are dead ..."

"Father..."

The originally solemn and desolate school grounds have now become a place of crying spirits. Many soldiers screamed and cried loudly without any scruples.

"What kind of decency is this? What kind of decency? Don't cry, don't cry..." a general roared, how could he be so rude in front of the imperial envoy?
Yuan Chonghuan frowned, looked at the crying soldiers under the stage, said nothing, and did not stop the general who was roaring loudly.

Eunuch Qin looked at it, frowned, and said: "Master Futai, the soldiers are crying because of the tragic things in their hearts. Our family sees that some of them cry for their mothers, some for their fathers, and some for their daughter-in-law, brothers, all of them cry." Yes, our family thinks that this is human nature, and there is no need to be too harsh, just let them cry..."

The roaring general heard what Eunuch Qin said, so he stopped roaring, turned around to look at Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan said: "Just according to Eunuch Qin, let everyone cry. It's just as good as the army's heart."

As a result, no one stopped the crying on the school grounds, and the whole school grounds completely turned into a place for crying spirits. The soldiers in Jinzhou City are similar to those in Dongjiang Town, and there are not a few people who have family feuds with Donglu There are not a few people who caused Donglu to ruin their families, and it is not a lie that every family has a blood feud. So, how can you bear to see the head of your enemy who killed you back then?If one person takes the lead, the situation becomes uncontrollable.

Er Mao looked at the solemnity, Xiao Sha's biography turned into a crying spirit, and he didn't say anything. Now, he can't cry anymore, all the tears have already flowed away.
