Chapter 1305 The Great Recruitment
The news of Dachu's defeat also spread to Dafeng Village, and several families felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing it.
"There are so many children who are the mainstay of the family, and they are just gone." The third grandmother wiped her tears and felt sad for a moment, then said to Cui: "Daughter-in-law Dashan, let's prepare a table of sacrifices and set up an incense table. Burn some paper money and give it to the children who died in the war, right?"
Dashan's maternal grandfather's family was a military household, and several of his uncles died on the battlefield. When Fei was still alive, he would burn paper money to the dead Chu soldiers every year during the Qingming Festival. It was said to be a rule passed down from military households. The Third Grandma had a good relationship with Fei. After hearing about Da Chu's defeat, she wanted to imitate Fei and send off those who died in the war.
When Mrs. Cui heard that so many soldiers had died, she also shed tears and said, "Hey, listen to the third uncle, I will take Lao Zhu's wife and Dalei's wife to prepare."
Gu Jinli said to Third Grandma: "Third Grandma, Grandpa Qin also served as a soldier before. Several uncles of the Qin family died on the battlefield. He must be very sad when he heard the news. Please let Third Grandpa and Grandpa Wu have more time." Stay with him and have a couple of drinks with him.
The third grandma nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, yes, Xiaoyu is very thoughtful. The third grandma will prepare wine for them. They happen to be roasting a whole lamb, so it can be paired with wine."
Gu Jinli took the opportunity to say: "Third Grandma, I'm fine now. I'll take Er Qing, Feng Jin and the others to pick up Brother Qin. We are all good at boxing and kicking. Don't worry. I'll be back with Brother Qin in the afternoon. You Always remember to tell my parents for me."
After saying that, she ran away. Even if the third grandma wanted to stop her, it was too late.
Thinking of Xiaoyu Girl's toughness, she felt relieved again and went to prepare wine for Third Grandpa, Mr. Qin, and Mr. Wu.
In the military station, Qin Sanlang wrote the memorial in person, asked Jiang Xiaoqi to prepare the incense table, and took the soldiers who stayed in the military station to kneel down to worship the soldiers who died in the battle.
We were all soldiers. Although we didnt know each other, we were filled with grief. We followed Qin Sanlang solemnly and completed the worship work step by step.
After it was over, some soldiers asked worriedly: "Master Baihu, our Da Chu has been defeated. Will the Rong take the opportunity to attack our city again? Will we lose more cities? Will the emperor send troops to attack the Da Rong again?" "
The person who asked the question was surnamed Jiang and was also a member of the Jiang family. He had been a soldier in the army for three years. The questions he asked were all the questions that all soldiers were concerned about. But Jiang Xiaoqi scolded him: "Shut up, these are the things you can ask." What to do? The emperor has made his own decision. Dont talk nonsense now and cause trouble for hundreds of households!"
Havent you seen Qin Baihus sullen face all the time? Qin Baihu is either too sad or too angry. If you have anything to say, please hold back and don't ask.
Qin Sanlang looked at Jiang Xiaoqi and said, "No need to scold Jiang Feng, what he asked is what everyone wants to know."
He was silent for a while, then looked at all the soldiers and said: "With the nature of the Rong people, since they have won a big victory, they will continue to attack Dachu and take away more cities. Even if they don't want such a city, they will still want it." Da Chu used a large amount of gold, silver, salt, tea, grain, horses, and women to redeem him."
So it is foreseeable that the Rong people will attack the city again.
As for whether the emperor will continue to send troops to attack Da Rong, we dont know yet. Lets continue to wait.
Emperor Jingyuan had a crazy obsession with attacking Dayong, and he had high hopes for this attack. He was also very face-conscious. After a big defeat, even if it was for the sake of face, he would gather a large army and attack Dayong again.
So the next step, Emperor Jingyuan should be to recruit a large army and attack Dajong again, but now that the time has not come, he cannot say this.
"Jiang Xiaoqi, today is the winter solstice. The brothers stayed behind and worked hard. We stewed the prey we hunted a few days ago so that the brothers can have a good meal." Qin Sanlang said, with sharp eyes, he looked at the soldiers present and said: " Everyone should return to their posts. If anything goes wrong, military law will be dealt with!" "Yes!" The soldiers immediately stood up straight and responded, quickly dispersed, and returned to their respective posts to guard.
Jiang Xiaoqi took a few soldiers to kill the prey and prepare the winter solstice dinner.
Qin Sanlang returned to his yard, took a piece of white cloth, tore it into strips, and tied it on the wrist of his left hand. It was also regarded as whitening for the dead soldiers.
I dont know how long it took, but Sian entered Qin Sanlangs yard.
Although Qin Sanlang felt uncomfortable, he was still alert. He came out before Si'an stepped into the yard. When he saw Si'an, he frowned and asked, "But is there something going on at home?"
He has already sent a letter to his family, saying that he would not be able to go back until this afternoon. Why did Si'an suddenly come here?
Si'an saluted and said, "Master, it's my little boss who's here."
The little fish is here! Qin Sanlangs eyes were full of surprise, and he asked worriedly: Why did the little fish suddenly come here? But what happened?
Si'an shook his head and said: "Master, don't worry, my little boss is fine. I came here specially to take you home for the winter solstice."
The little boss is too aggressive. Isn't it always a man's job to take people home? But Xiaodong did the opposite. No wonder the third mistress always said that Xiaodong was born in the wrong child and should have been a boy.
Then he said: "My little boss told me that it's not good for her to enter the military station. She will wait for the master in the mule cart outside. The master doesn't need to rush out. He can finish all the things in the military station before following her home." Thats it.
How could Qin Sanlang be reassured that she was alone outside? He asked someone to call Jiang Xiaoqi immediately, and took out a pen and paper. After writing down all the things that needed to be arranged, he handed the paper to Jiang Xiaoqi: "The affairs of the Division of Military Affairs are about Ive left it to you, so be careful and dont make any mistakes.
Yes! Jiang Xiaoqi took the paper, promised, and sent Qin Sanlang out of the door.
Gu Jinli's mule cart stopped by a small bamboo forest far away from the commander's station. He was sitting in the mule cart at the moment. He raised the curtain and looked in the direction of the commander's station. When he saw Qin Sanlang riding up, he got off the mule happily. The car ran towards him.
When Qin Sanlang saw her running towards him, his heart, which had been cold and heavy for a long time, seemed to be instantly illuminated by the sun, and immediately warmed up: "Xiaoyu."
Qin Sanlang slowed down his horse, dismounted before she ran in front of him, and walked quickly towards her. He naturally took her hand and smiled at her: "Why are you here so suddenly?"
Gu Jinli looked at him and said with a smile: "I was afraid that you would cry in sadness, so I came to see you. Am I fine?"
If when he first saw her, his heart was just as warm as being illuminated by the sun, then at this moment, his heart was burning with her enthusiasm and concern.
"Well, Xiaoyu is the best to me." Qin Sanlang said, holding her hand, walking to the mule cart and stepping into the mule cart. When she came in, he immediately hugged her. He said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyu, I'm very happy."
Happy you can come.
He was indeed feeling very uncomfortable today. Although he could endure it, this feeling of being cared for and valued by her made him very happy.
