With the faint yellow rocky soil color, as the weeds canopy growing in the gaps, and slowly, there are dots of lush greenery, and then it becomes a more conspicuous cluster of low shrubs, and finally The wild flowers of various colors blooming in the early summer are swaying and dotted among the contiguous green grass fields.
"Out.."
"Come out..."
"Finally came out..."
Looking at the large tracts of lush green and step-by-step fields in the Lintao Valley in the distance, as well as the hidden villages scattered among the low and rolling hills; these survivors of the Western Army will inevitably burst into tears or tears. It was bursting into tears.
At this time, no one cared about maintaining the final formation and order, and one after another, they released the shackles of the mounts and pack animals and allowed them to search for food on the spot, rushing forward in a hurry. So it didn't take long to reach the destination.
I saw that under the towering Kanglang Mountain on the east bank of Taoshui where the yellow was mixed, the gray Lintao city wall was the main color, and the Wujie Fortress, which had arrived at the corner of the ferry on the opposite bank, was in front of them.
Only when they ran to a closer distance; they suddenly discovered that whether it was Lintao City on the east bank of Taoshui River or on the Wujie Fortress on the opposite bank connected by a pontoon bridge, there was a strange and familiar blue flag waving. .
In an instant, these first soldiers who rushed forward suddenly stopped in shock, and then pushed into a ball with more people who caught up behind, and then turned into an uproar on the spot:
"How could this be?"
"Does the sky kill me?"
And with more and more blockbuster exclamations and uproars one after another, not long after I didn’t know who opened the head, it turned into a continuous wailing over this field of flowers and green grass. Up.
Because these few green flags represent: the only remaining long way home of the relatives and children of the rebel army and the township party; and all the hard work and persistence to transfer to here, all the hard work has been turned into at this time. It's nothing.
Afterwards, the main formation that caught up could not stop and block the shelter, and the corresponding news spread and spread; so for a while, there was a cry of crying and grabbing the ground, and they were shocked by the scattered grazing horses. , Fleeing farther, but no one is in control
And when Li Mingda, with red eyes and thin cheeks, also led people to pat the horse to Li Mingzhen, who is the leader, with a hiss squeezed out of his teeth:
"Brother, I think you can try to rush, even if the ling thief arrives from Qishan Road (Hanzhong to Tianshui), there are not many people in Xiangbi..."
But in fact, he said that but he was not sure about it; because Qishan Road, one of the four roads out of Shu, is the farthest, but the road with the widest and best conditions, and it is provided by the upper tributary of the West Han River. Shipping capacity.
Therefore, Zhuge Wuhou was able to initiate the great cause of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in Qishan. Compared with the dry season when the water in the Western Han Dynasty is difficult to pass in winter, it is now a flood season when the water volume is high at the turn of spring and summer; you don't need to think about it to know that the transportation from the Shu area will be greatly facilitated.
Despite this, Li Mingda still didn't want to give up. At least before the most desperate result of the fleet, he felt that he could rely on these people to work harder, maybe he would just pass this South Pass? But he must persuade Li Mingzhen, the nominal leader, to have a chance to hit all the power.
However, his feelings and determination were once again unavoidable. Li Mingzhen, who was so irritated and hurt on the rack, was flushed and faintly muttered to himself:
"I... I... I don't want to go anymore. Maybe it's God's will. It's destined to make me buried by the shore of Lintao... Last night's dream was the sign of Buddha and me..."
Hearing these words, Li Mingda flashed a few colors of pain and anger on his face, and finally turned into a long sigh, then gave up the effort of continuing to persuade and turned away.
But unexpectedly, Lintao City felt a little indifferent to the remnants of the Western Army who had already been under the city. As a result, these Western soldiers, who had lost their morale, were able to clean up their moods and regroup their horses, and then settled in the camp.
However, it was on this night when most people were full of thoughts and sadness, while faintly singing a little song of their hometown, and it was difficult to sleep in; there still happened one after another.
, Li Mingzhen, the governor of Langzhou who was in a fever and coma, was awakened.
But at this time, no one cared about him anymore. The dimly lit camp was full of figures running and shouting; the ubiquitous noise directly drowned out his hoarse effort calling for the guards, and then directly Qijie fainted. .
After crying and neighing all night, no one came to the temporarily forgotten Li Mingzhen until dawn. After shaking him up, he thumped his chest and cried out in mourning:
"It's not good, the governor. Last night, the Li (Mingda) regiment raided our formation and used all the cattle and horses and weapons and snatched them away."
Then someone squeezed up and shouted:
"It's not just the original formation, but even the camps of the Yang family, the Guo family, and the Long family were robbed at night, and people died..."
"Where are the people in the group now."
Li Mingzhen felt full of bitterness and bitterness. This result was beyond his expectation and reasonable.
Compared to himself who wanted to protect his family in this troubled autumn, this younger brother was ambitious and wanted to get more things from this; therefore, after struggling to support each other all the way, the two are still It is inevitable to embark on the ending of parting ways.
"Someone saw them all galloping to the west of Taniguchi, heading towards Baosai State."
Someone immediately replied:
"..."
Li Mingzhen sighed when he heard the words; compared to the territory of Hexi Road, where the defeat was unrecoverable, his clan brother had swept away all the resources of the horses and horses, obviously he wanted to go to the mixed race. The former hinterland of Longyou Road, where he lived, intends to make a difference again.
"What about us?"
The remaining few gray-headed military generals gathered around Li Mingzhen and said in a sad voice:
"All down..."
Li Mingzhen said with a dazed expression: it was like some people had left behind a huge burden.
"The Governor!!"
The generals on the scene could not help but cried out silently:
"Don't you even want to listen to my last command?"
However, Li Mingzhen said in a rare rush:
"For this plan, even if the thieves in the city do not come to attack and harass, how far can they go with the rest of the sons? Is it true that the heart will make their way to the wasteland! As long as they can survive more children, What does it mean to let me, a dying person who is still panting, recite some infamy?"
"What's more, now I can be regarded as the leader of the Taiping Army, with the brother-in-law under the knee of the Taiwei, so I won't even have a little way to survive..."
So not long after, in Lintao City, in accordance with the bluffing of Ding Zhuang, who was waiting in line to select the front officer Du Hong and the retained cavalry officer Li Cunzhang, and the two regiments under his command, they also welcomed the bare-armed surrender in front of the gate. messenger.
—I am please drop the dividing line —
On the Guanzhong Road, thousands of miles away, where the dust has settled, as the Jingwei and Wei River basins are constantly being reclaimed, fields and canals have been dredged, and in the ruins of many villages surrounded by wooden fences, there has also begun to appear a little smoke and smoke. Human footprints.
Outside Guangxia, in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, a special team of teams once again ushered in. Li Jie, who is the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the last emperor, is also looking at the long-lost city of Chang'an a few years later and the outline of Guangzhou Xiamen that has become increasingly mottled and shabby through the car window.
It was from here that Qingqi Jiancong followed the emperor's brother to escape from the capital. It’s just that when he left hurriedly, he was the closest emperor Yijie Shou Wang to the emperor, but now he returns again as the last emperor who is a prisoner;
There is a lot of feelings that are right and wrong, but there is not much throbbing and heartfelt such as sadness and affection. Because, most of the emotions and enthusiasm he once possessed have been wiped away by the unpredictable means of the brother of the Holy Lord.
Therefore, the main thing he can miss and aspirations for now is to work hard to play the various roles required by the king of Chu or the governor, who is about to become the new master of the world, and then strive for a slightly more preferential and respectable one. The ending is great.
Therefore, as the king of subjugation, he accepted the so-called "Zhaozong" temple name quite comfortably. That's right, it is the temple name that can only be worshipped after death, and under the certain malicious interest of that great captain, it is placed on them, the subjugated king who is still alive and kicking.
Of course, according to Zheng Gu, who was called Zheng Partridge by one of the scholars who accompanied him, this was a profound result; it was for the sake of alerting the past and revealing the world, meaning that these last masters who died of their kingdoms and lived by themselves are considered to be Or it's like a walking corpse who has already fallen into the earth and put a conclusion on the coffin.
But at least Li Jie was fortunate that what he got was the less wicked "Zhaozong" temple title, as the saying goes, "Rongyi is respectful and beautiful, Zhaode has labor, Zhaode, sacred, Zhouda, and sacred." Is it because you have good looks, but you love literature and make friends with Confucian scholars in your life
In contrast, the elder brother who had already abdicated as the Supreme Emperor received the "Xizong" temple title. It can be said to be extremely condemned to hit the nail on the head. Therefore, when the decision was delivered to them, several veterans who were also prisoners had to make a fuss for a long time.
As a result, it was discovered that the other party did not intend to execute related people immediately, but it was still the exhibition of the exhibition, the parade of the parade; the food that should be eaten, the sleep that should be sleep, even if no one cares about the situation, it completely disappeared. Up.
Therefore, as the Guangxia Gate got closer and closer, Li Jie also began to figure out how to spend the next days. Is it to put on a small cap in Tsing Yi to serve wine in court, or to dance at a banquet in a woman's dress; or to marry a wife from an old noble brother, but when he has a daughter, he will come to the house for fun
Compared with Tang Zhaozong Li Jie, who was full of inner drama but did not show his colors, and the other captured old civil and military ministers in the motorcade behind him, the various reactions were much sharper. Some are struggling to write straight, some are sighing, and others are making farewell poems with tragic meaning, and so on. .
Of course, as far as Zhou Huaian was concerned, there was only one effect of bringing these prisoners from the small court in Shu. It is the branch of Gongdelin, a special physical and mental transformation site that continues to be opened in Chang'an, Shangjing. The address is arranged in the convenient courtyard near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of the Da Ci'en Temple.
The main reason is that after the saw-saw of the previous offensives, the old dynasty Qi Li Xungui and the princes who had stayed in the capital were not able to escape or move south to Jiangling. Almost all of them came from both the official army and the rebels. It has been liquidated over and over again and disappeared.
Therefore, under the acceptance of the Taiping Army, the highest-ranking old courtier who can survive, is the only former Tang Shence Zuojun Majun Zhang Chengfan. This guy is a prostitute who pretends to be a woman and hides in the North Song of Pingkang. In the middle, has been through the two campaigns of Cui Anqian and Zheng Tian to counterattack Changan.
Finally, after the Taiping Army settled in Chang'an, he was recognized by his former Ministry and was imprisoned; but because of great luck, he escaped, and the Taiping Army and the official army were affected by the tragic confrontation at the last moment in Chang'an City.
As part of the system project to show the atmosphere and attitude of the new dynasty, the public transformation process of these old monarchs and ministers is undoubtedly a very important part of the image project. Just relying on such a stick to Tongguan, it was Datang before the fall of Xijing. Zhang Chengfan who fought to the end was not enough.
Of course, what is important is the superficial process of acceptance and transformation; as for the true attitude and inner mental process of these accepted transformation objects, it is no longer important.
Because, as long as they can accept the transformation every day in the Kung De Lin, write an extra confession and publish a memoir, participate in a report meeting; the remaining influence and sense of existence from the previous dynasty is a continuous And the process of death in disguise.
After all, is there an example in this world that is better than a living last emperor to show his words? Of course, these old dynasties on the bright side actually have another potential role.
This is to attract the "bait" to those survivors who are dissatisfied with the new dynasty, as well as the spies and eyeliners sent by the various forces; as long as they become active, they will be part of the newly compiled joint defense system. It’s hard to hide away easily.
It seems that my author's message was swallowed by the backstage again. I can only say it again here. The public account "Mao Pi" has been updated.
By the way, PY, "Success is Justice" from the beginning of New York in 1968, dressed in the age of law, (end of this chapter)
