Qiulin Mozhen is a very sacrificed person, which is reflected in Hua Mulan's memory. Therefore, when he died in an ambush later, Hua Mulan would firmly remember this comrade and raised his children for many years.
Qiulin Mozhen's father and grandfather both died in the battle. Because of this, he didn't need to go to the army at first, because the Qiulin family would never let him go to the battlefield again. .
But at this time, the Qiulin family's house was relocated, from Junzhen in the north to Shangdang in the south.
This was a reform carried out by Tuoba Tao after he ascended the throne. A large household was divided into several small households and then moved south. Because nowadays there are more fields and less population, the northern men are fighting wars, and the southern men are working in the fields.
Qiulin Mozhen's mother thought this was a way to keep the children from the war, so she took her two children to the south to settle the fields and go to the party. Most of the children in his village were children who moved from the military town, and they all had common topics with each other. , not boring.
After the war in the cloud, Tuoba Tao expanded the Yulin army. The military government collected the list of family members of the war dead in the world and found the Qiulin family. military.
Yu Linjun was a good errand, so Qiu Lin Mozhen also married a very beautiful and gentle Han Chinese wife, leaving his wife and children at home to serve his mother, and his younger brother to help with the housework, living a very comfortable life.
But the Qiulin family probably has the nature to sacrifice for others. Qiulin Mozhen is very brave in battle, and he can't see his teammates in distress. No matter how critical the situation is, he will go to the rescue, and often his colleagues don't want to look back. When they see him, they will also be infected and rush to kill.
Tuoba Tao often went to war, and most of the generals of the Yulin Army knew it. When he found out that the mortality rate of Qiulin Mozhen's team was the lowest, he couldn't help but want to know what caused it.
The answer is very simple, because Qiulin Mozhen never gave up any of his soldiers easily.
His character is a bit dull and he is rarely aggressive, which makes his military achievements not the highest, but Yulin Lang under him trusts him very much.
Tuoba Tao was reviewing the Yulin Army when the General Fujun of the Right Army reported a serious illness. At that time, he was talking with Qiu Lin Mozhen, and after thinking about it, he sent him to the You Army.
That kind of thought was only for a moment. Even Tuoba Tao himself didn't know why he sent Qiu Lin Mozhen to the You Army. Maybe it was because he felt that instead of following him who liked to charge into battle, Qiu Lin Mozhen would be better off in the You Army. Play it.
The fate of Qiulin Mozhen and Hua Mulan all came from the belief that "you can't die" and "you can't let your generals die". It is precisely because of this that when Qiulin Mozhen replaced Tuoba Tao with death, this sacrifice It seemed very impressive.
Beidi Pavilion
That's why Tuoba Tao was buried as a general, and only then did Hua Mulan raise his son for ten years.
But at this time, Qiulin Mozhen obviously hadn't received the understanding and support of the same army, so he was not so proud. In the restaurant in Heishan City, he asked for a cup of wine and drank it with He Mulan.
"I asked you out because you were the only general among the generals who didn't show a special attitude towards me." Qiulin Mozhen said with a wry smile: "They all said that I stole the position of General Wang, God knows, I still think I've been staying in the Yulin Army all the time."
"You really took the position of General Wang. General Wang has been waiting for that position for ten years." He Mulan smiled and drank a glass of wine.
"You should be glad that General Wang and General Xia are both sympathetic Dala people, otherwise, let's not talk about how the people below see you, the attitude above is the most important."
The wines at this time are all turbid wines, and there are still some turbid substances like residue at the bottom of the cup, mostly the dregs of grain. There is very little wine in Heishan City, and wine must be brewed in a place with sufficient food. The Montenegrin camp was not allowed to drink alcohol, and the soldiers did not dare to indulge even if they drank. Therefore, in a place full of soldiers, alcohol was sold worse than other places.
Thinking about it this way, these men are indeed depressing enough to live in Heishan City.
"I came to Youying for the first time and wanted to know something, but I had no comrades who could answer my questions. I wonder if you might help me..."
"Tell me." He Mulan replied succinctly, "I've only been in the right camp for more than a year. If I know, I'll tell you."
Qiulin Mozhen was overjoyed. He didn't expect General Hu Ben to talk so easily. Seeing that he agreed, he immediately started asking questions.
"What does General Wang like?"
"...Like..." He Mulan got stuck at the first question, and said angrily, "How do I know what he likes!"
"Hey, don't even you know? Then how can I get along well..." Qiu Lin Mozhen became annoyed, "Is there no clue at all?"
"General Wang is an honest and good man. As long as you treat him with sincerity, he will understand. You don't need to make friends."
"Then what are the factions of the Right Army?"
After Qiulin Mozhen came to the right army, he realized that the right army was not as scattered as outsiders said. On the contrary, they were not only closely united, but also divided into several factions, sometimes competing and sometimes helping each other.
I heard that the Left Army is based on regional fellows, and the factions are more complicated. In comparison, the Right Army is already clean.
He Mulan didn't know how to answer this second question.
"Faction? What faction?" She asked inexplicably. "Is there any faction in the right army? Why didn't I find out..."
Daughter pie and niece pie
Anyway, they are all about to marry!
"you… "
Qiu Lin Mo Zhen looked at Mulan who didn't really look like a fake with a funny look, and wiped his face. "Hey, I finally know why you are the only generals in the right army who don't have any ill will towards me. I thought..."
I thought I had met an open-minded person.
It turned out to be so brave!
"I really don't think there is any faction in the Right Army. Whenever we go to war, we all do our own thing well, and we have never had a dispute over anyone. I don't know what the Yulin Army you were in was like, but For the generals, we have to lead good soldiers, fight good battles, and do things fairly, and it is useless to think about other things.
Out of admiration for Qiulin Mozhen, He Mulan seriously persuaded him: "Instead of worrying about these trivial matters, it is better to pay more attention to the situation of the Right Army and play the role of General Xia's deputy. General Wang has always been the think tank of the Right Army. , that is, I am also taken care of by him a lot, you learn more and watch more after him, it is much better than asking random questions here."
Qiulinmo was stunned for a moment, then raised the wine glass in his hand.
"It's my fault, thank you for your reminder, I'll give you a toast."
Whether it was for Hua Mulan or He Mulan, drinking this wine was like playing, so she also drank it and started to eat.
The two talked about the You Army for a long time, and many questions that Qiu Lin Mozhen had were answered. After three cups of wine, Qiu Lin Mo Zhen asked curiously, "General Hua, why are you helping me?"
Even if there is no malice, there is no need to take the risk of being implicated by him and gossip with him.
When he went to invite Hua Mulan, he was ready to shut the door. After all, the generals of the Right Army didn't want to see him now, and when he got close to him, he would be scorned.
"For your children."
He Mulan smiled inexplicably.
…
This General Hua not only has rough nerves, but his brain is still a little unclear
What's the matter with my son
Qiu Linmo said in disbelief: "General Hua, don't be kidding, it's easy to live, how do you talk about my child? Although I..."
"I have a robe under my account. It was originally my comrade. There is a child in the family named A Danzhuo, who is only four years old this year. In the past, when he and I fought side by side, when I saw him in danger, I would be worried. I think if he just died in this battle, his orphans, widows and mothers don't know what kind of life he will live..."
He Mulan spoke her thoughts honestly.
"Because of such concerns, I can't help but take more care of him and the other delicate fellow in the fire, but even so, I can't protect their safety forever, because they will encounter a greedy person at any time. , lost their lives."
"I work hard to become the main general of the right army, and to bring them under my command is to be confident that if it were me, I would never do anything that would make them needlessly sacrifice. Swords have no eyes, soldiers are cautious, as a general, one's life and death, It may be related to the fate of countless people."
He Mulan didn't know why she said so much to Qiulin Mozhen, but she knew that Qiulin Mozhen could understand, if Qiulin Mozhen was still the same Qiulin Mozhen.
"So I help you, I hope you don't lose your life because you are not familiar with your comrades and don't trust your comrades. The people in the right army are very straightforward, and they are not as complicated as you were in the Yulin army before. You have some misunderstandings, but things will get better in the future. You don’t need to be alone for anything, and sometimes you can ask others for help, which is also a kind of respect and affirmation for others.”
He Mulan sighed.
"Think about your wife and children. It's just for them. You have to endure it for a while. If you have any thoughts, you might as well have a candid talk with General Xia and General Wang."
Qiulin Mozhen slowly put down his glass and nodded solemnly.
"Teached, I will."
Don't carry it yourself anymore.
Stop thinking about saving someone by yourself.
You have a comrade and a general.
Don't die alone in an ambush, at least ask for help!
Looking at Qiu Lin Mo Zhen, He Mulan lowered her head slightly, and drank the turbid wine in her glass.
After a while, Qiu Linmo stood up to settle accounts, He Mulan pushed open the door of the private room, but saw Tu Gui, who had a good relationship with General Wang, glared at her with a look at the traitor.
"Hua Mulan, I thought I was wrong, you actually had a drink with Qiu Lin Mozhen! It's a shame that General Wang values you so much!"
Tugui has a bad character, otherwise he would not have died in a fight in his previous life. He Mulan frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with me drinking with him. General Wang won't blame me, but you guys, excluding Qiulin Mozhen like this will make General Wang more difficult to do."
She was afraid that Qiu Linmo would be shocked and return, so she lowered her voice: "You and I both know what kind of person General Wang is. He pays attention to the overall situation and does not want to have such an infighting before setting off on the expedition. Even General Wang has already taken the initiative. Okay, what the hell are you doing!"
Naturally, these words could not quell the anger of Tugui.
"There are so many senior generals in the right army, why let an outsider..."
"That's His Majesty's appointment. You think the road to promotion of the Yulin Army is easier, so come to our Right Army!" He Mulan looked at him with a half-smiley smile: "Don't do it too much, or it will spread to His Majesty's ears. Here, you are killing General Wang and General Xia!"
"That's all I said, think about it for yourself."
He Mulan walked away.
He Mulan was indeed someone who didn't understand "office relations". She is a forensic doctor, with a small circle of forensic doctors, one radish and one pit, and there is no such thing as you do more and take more, so there are many right and wrong. When it came to the Right Army, she had the lowest qualifications, and she was suddenly promoted. Although it was indeed a bit dazzling, it was not to the point of being excluded.
For her, there is no such thing as "politics". It's not that she has low political ability, but that she, like Mulan, feels that she can live in the world by doing her job well and being worthy of her conscience.
In the eyes of others, there may indeed be factions, relationships, and various rules, but in her eyes, it is nothing more than training troops, handling military affairs, leading troops to fight, and nothing else.
With so many handsome and strong men in the army, she didn't even have the time to think about it, let alone intrigue. Even her natural love for men is almost gone, how can she cultivate the ability to fight back and forth the day after tomorrow
She thought that Qiulin Mozhen was a good person who could help and was willing to help, so she did it.
As for what other people think, she doesn't know and doesn't care, she has a clear conscience.
I don't know if what she said that day had an effect, or if the situation in the right army was really embarrassing during this time, Qiu Lin Mozhen was said to have had a long talk with General Xia and General Wang in the army tent all night long. The situation has changed drastically in China, and other generals may have some awkwardness towards Qiulin Mozhen, but the crowding out like before is no longer there.
The Hu Ben Army often drills with other battalions to practice coordination. Hu Ben was the vanguard, and General Wang was leading the guards on the right wing. The two often contacted each other. After a few times, when He Mulan saw that General Wang didn't show any dissatisfaction with her, he was finally relieved.
She knew that General Wang was not so careful.
Just how did General Wang sacrifice himself
Why can't she remember at all
It's about to go north.
Things seemed to be getting better for Qiulin Mozhen slowly, but He Mulan's personal problems began to show trouble because the sky was getting hotter and hotter.
In the past, although everyone lived in a tent, the summer nights here were still cool. Because of the reason of "diarrhea when the stomach is cold", He Mulan slept in clothes all year round and no one said anything.
But the northern expedition is about to take place, and food, drink and Lazarus are all on the way. It is impossible to go to a far place to solve it alone every time.
When marching, I can’t bring much clothes. It’s normal to sweat profusely when fighting in spring and summer. When I get to a place with water, I naturally have to scrub it. Otherwise, I will suffer from heat sores or rashes. crashing into the water...
Did He Mulan take off? Or take it off? Or take it off
Thinking of this, He Mulan felt a deep pain.
Moreover, the clothes and things at home had not been delivered for a long time, which really worried her.
***
Huaishuo Town.
In the camp in Montenegro, He Mulan was worried about how the summer of the Northern Expedition would pass. The parents of the Hua family sighed because of their worry, and they might even overturn the house.
The Hua family received the post. There were not many people in the family, but the second daughter disappeared for no reason. No matter how slow the neighbors were, it was impossible not to see it. So as soon as Mulan left, their family moved to Huajiabao, not far south of Huaishuo Town, to live with the clan.
Except for those who are very close to the family, no one knows that the Hua family also received military stickers. After the Hua family moved back, because the Hua father taught the children of the family to learn to write, they were also respected by others.
It's just that when the second daughter Hua Mulan of the Hua family is mentioned, the Hua family either sighs or weeps, and even the younger brother of the Hua family can't explain clearly, only that he has gone far, far away.
This kind of statement made everyone in Huajiabao think about it. Some people think that Hua Mulan eloped with someone, and this kind of thing is not unheard of in Xianbei's daughter's house; , said to have gone far away;
Some people think that the Hua family should have something to hide, but because they are relatives from past lives, they don't ask much. It's just the matter of the second daughter of the Hua family, which has become an unspeakable topic.
The eldest daughter of the Hua family married early, and she was also the son of a military household. She came back several times and seemed to be dissatisfied with her parents. She slammed the door again and left, and never came back. She only occasionally brought some things home .
This situation made it even more difficult for the people in Huajiabao to guess what happened to Hua Mulan. Yuan Shi, the mother of flowers, cried when she talked about her daughter, which made it impossible for many women to continue talking about this issue.
Hua Mulan joined the army, and the army posted the residence in Huaishuo Town, but the house in Huaishuo Town is not vacant now, and it is given to Hua Kehu, the son of Hua Mulan's uncle.
He is now Huaishuo's Zhenshu Colonel, guarding the safety of Huaishuo City. The things that Hua's family wants to give to Hua Mulan are all handed over to the military mansion by Hua Kehu, to fellow villagers who go to the Montenegro camp, or simply Hua Kehu's subordinates sent it in person.
Hua Kehu naturally knows where Hua Mulan has gone. He is Hua Mulan's cousin. His father died in the Battle of the Clouds. The Hua family will move to Huaishuo Town, mostly to take care of this nephew. He could only hide Mulan's affairs about his uncle's family.
But as time passed, the Hua family had been worrying about the things that Hua Mulan was exposed to or Mulan died in battle not only did not happen, but the things that Hua Mulan brought back from the army were still handed over to Hua Ke in an endless stream. Tiger here.
In the beginning, it was just scattered silver coins and cloth. The property of the army was not easy to keep. Most of them were exchanged for gold and silver, which were cheaper than the market price, and then dragged the villagers back to their hometowns. Everyone in the Hua family is literate, and naturally they are not afraid that the villagers will deduct money.
But later, the scattered silver coins turned into gold, and more and more things were sent back. Once, they even brought back four good horses, which were said to be given to Hua Kehu and the younger brother of the Hua family to ride.
The price of this kind of tame war horse is not cheap, and the four horses are two males and two females, which are just right for breeding. This is already a great gift for Huaishuo.
By this time, Hua Kehu would be a fool if he didn't know that his cousin was not doing well.
Speaking of this cousin, Hua Kehu never knew how to get along with her. When she was a child, Hua Mulan was not very demure. She loved to follow Hua's father to dance with knives and guns, and her strength became stronger and stronger. Later, she even reached the point where the children of the village couldn't beat her.
But although she is not demure, she is not lively and lovely, or charming and sweet. Her temperament is resolute if she sounds good, and she is a little stubborn if she is not good. Naturally, Hua Kehu likes to play with the eldest sister of the Hua family, who is Jiaodidi, and not much contact with a cousin who can't win no matter how you fight.
When Hua Mulan joined the army for her father, Hua Kehu truly admired this younger sister. Although he has never been to the Montenegro Camp, in Huaishuo Town, the daily drills and life in the barracks also let him know how difficult it is for a woman to survive in the military, not to mention the place to face the wriggling.
He lived in the Hua family's house and often sent things there, hoping that this cousin could live well and return home as soon as possible. He knew many good young men in the army, and when she came back, he could tell her a good marriage, and he didn't have to live so hard.
As long as the children in the army are alive, the military government will regularly help them deliver letters. Soon, the Hua family knows that Hua Mulan first became the personal guard of a certain prince, and later won a big victory in the competition and became Tiger Might. General, commanding two thousand men.
When he found out that Hua Mulan had become a general, Hua's father was so worried that he didn't sleep well all night, and kept saying, "Tell her not to come forward and tell her not to come forward, why don't you listen at all!"
Hua Mulan knew that Hua Mulan would not want to come back once she was a general for ten or eight years. When she heard that the generals were always served by personal guards, Hua Mulan did not know where she received dozens of slaves as attendants. Yuan Shi In his mind, there was almost no image of his daughter sitting in the big tent with many men prostrate at her feet, one feeding her melons, the other pinching her feet...
Crying eyes are going blind.
For this woman, who has been a docile and conservative woman who has been with her husband and taught her children all her life, the woman accepts male slaves, and even dozens of them at a time, and there are personal soldiers serving them in close quarters, which is simply immoral.
"I... I don't understand, I want to have a daughter, how can I become like this... "
Hua Mu felt that Mulan was obedient and obedient before she left. She is very strong, and she has done all the strength work in the family since she was a child, but she has never complained. Joining the army for her father, the whole family thought that she would do everything possible to get out of that terrible place...
But she is so good, she doesn't care that she is a daughter's family, and she doesn't care about her elderly parents, she actually became her general like a man in the army!
For Hua Kehu, everything can be handled for the cousin, only one cannot.
Such is the situation.
that day.
"Excuse me... Is this General Hua's house?"
A steady and sincere middle-aged woman in a red shirt knocked on Hua Kehu's door. Behind her, stood several women, all dressed in red.
"Yeah." Hua Kehu thought that the general Hua was talking about himself, and looked at the women who came to the door in confusion. The women saluted slightly and placed a tooth card.
"We are a matchmaker, and I am the chief officer. My surname is Yifu. An envoy valued General Hua's character and talent, and sent us to kiss him."
The middle-aged woman at the head smiled, and when she saw Hua Kehu's eyes glowing, she felt relieved.
She is one of the most famous official media in Pingcheng. She has come all the way here, and there is no reason why she can't get married!
No, as soon as they saw her tooth card, Mulan's family was already happy!
"Which envoy valued me?" Hua Kehu was overjoyed, holding the tooth card silly, "I've only been in Huaishuo for a few years, yet I can still be valued by Shangguan..."
The official media do not talk about relatives for ordinary people, because the official media also live on the rewards of the DPRK and China. Ordinary people have their own private media, and finally go to the official media's yamen to register, which is also considered their ability.
Their Xianbei daughters are precious, and there are a hundred women in the family. Not many are willing to marry military households or military children. After all, they became widows accidentally.
"whee… "
"Ha ha… "
The young women behind Mrs. Yifu laughed, and Hua Kehu's face was flushed with laughter, not knowing what went wrong.
"I didn't make it clear. General Hua is naturally young and promising, but this time we're talking about kissing, not you." Mrs. Yifu smiled and took out a famous post.
"I was entrusted by General Yuchi Kualu of the Montenegro camp to talk to a niece in my family."
"Wei... Yuchi..."
Hua Kehu's hand holding the famous post shook and almost didn't hold it.
Mrs. Yifu nodded reservedly.
"Yes, it is the Yuchi family of Lord Babu."
"I... I can't decide, I'm just Hua Mulan's cousin, his parents... "
Hua Kehu stammered the famous post, not flattered, but frightened.
"Excuse me, is this the Hua's house?"
A middle-aged woman in blue also entered the courtyard with several servants.
"I'm Mrs. Liu, the official media of Woye Town, dare to ask if General Hua Mulan's parents are there?"
For a time, the king to the king, the lady in red and the lady in blue pointed to Maimang, and the helpless moaning of Hua Kehu could be heard in the small courtyard.
Oh, it didn't seem, he really howled.
"My goodness, what's going on..."
Hua Kehu held the tooth card and the famous post, and wanted to cry without tears.
He is a good man, and he can't get a wife in his twenties.
His cousin, who was neither liked by men nor liked by women since childhood, was in the army, and there were so many matchmakers who came to kiss her...
How can he be called such a handsome, gentle and considerate man to live!
He's even more handsome than Hua Mulan... Abu, beautiful... Abu, he's much prettier anyway!
If I knew earlier, I would not come to Huaishuo, but to Montenegro!
