The soldiers who were severed back to the garrison were divided into several routes to go south.
Some people want to go to Chenyang and Liaoyang; a few people go to the west of Daning City, which belongs to the Tunbao Guard of the former Daning Dusi.
Military officers will get a document, and when they arrive at a place where there is an official shop station, they can eat, live and replenish horses and food.
Sun Yonger should have gone to the left guard of Chenyang, but the camp where he set out was on the Xiliao River, closer to Daning City. He then asked for leave to Baihu and wanted to follow his brothers in the direction of Daning to pick up his family first.
After dark, he went to see Zhou Yuanzhong, the upper peak of the Jinyiwei, said hello, and informed him of his whereabouts.
The Jinyiwei belonged to one of the emperor's personal guards and was originally a military post in the Beijing camp. However, this Zhou Yuanzhong was stationed in Daning and was very familiar with everything in the local area.
After hearing Sun Yonger say it, he immediately realized, family?You mean Widow Wang, who sells ginger in Caishikou?
Sun Yong said second: Her surname is Li, we are married.
Zhou Yuanzhong shook his head and said: Sun Lao Er, we are the only one who is the only one who is a seventh-rank official for you.The seventh-rank official in the army is a bit like that. He is indeed not as good as a civil servant magistrate, but he also has dozens of people in charge.You just find a widow to be a mate, and I'll say what's the best for you?Not to mention that you must find a family of seventh-rank officials in the family, but what is the difficulty of marrying a beautiful daughter?
Sun Yonger smiled disapprovingly: I wanted her earlier.Zhou Yuanzhong seemed to be not very considerate of Sun Yonger's wife, and Sun Yonger didn't care about such words at all.
After all, he was looked down upon more often before, and Shangguan was just a joke.
Zhou Yuanzhong exhaled: Forget it, I can't care about this kind of thing.
Sun Yonger clasped his fists and said: He will leave at the end.
Zhou Yuanzhong called him again, looked at his legs and said: Can you ride a horse?
Sun Yong said: I have been raising it for more than a month, and riding a horse is fine.It's a bit painful to walk.
Zhou Yuanzhong nodded and said: Let’s go.
Sun Yonger had an arrow wound on his left calf, and his outside had healed, but his flesh had not healed yet.However, some of the doctors in the wounded barracks were famous doctors sent by the Imperial Hospital of the Capital, and most of them had healed Sun Yonger's wounds.
This injury was left behind when tempting the Tatars to attack the baggage camp.
At that time, the left guard of Chenyang where Sun Yonger was located was one of the troops who pretended to be defeated and lured the enemy.
This kind of thing is usually done by the elite troops from the garrison army and the Beijing camp behind; some garrisons are not pretending to be defeated at all, but are really defeated, which is very realistic.
The Tatars' riding and shooting were really sharp, and Sun Yonger had no experience, so he stood in the wrong position. When the cavalry approached, he immediately hit several arrows in a row.
Fortunately, before departure, the army was given a set of armor, and the arrows on the chest and thighs were only injured, and only one arrow on the calf was very deep.
At that time, a small flag captain named Zhang, led Sun Yonger to run eastward with his back, and Sun Yonger escaped from danger.
After going to Chenyang, Sun Yonger wanted to have a drink with him.
In the battle formation, even the general and Qian Zong would die. If he had not relied on his companions, he might not have come back.
Just like General He Hao, who was the only one in Daning City, took the lead in making up for his achievements during the horse battle, and was cut off by the Tatars.
A few days later, the guards on the West Road found the Laoha River and went south along the river.
The hillsides in the distance are mostly wasteland, and some gravels do not even grow weeds.
However, the river valley is surrounded by abundant water and grass, and the grass in summer can grow taller, so the land here is very fertile.
However, there were almost no people around. Occasionally, some herders' tents should be from Urianha people from Fuyuwei.
The crowd continued to move south, and everyone could see the Ming army's trestle and official shop.
Most of the troughs were near the Laoha River, and people opened up the river valleys with abundant water into crop fields.
The Han people still like to farm and do not like animal husbandry, because they can get more farming and harvesting on the same large land.
The battlefield filled with smoke and bloody smoke has gone far away. On the banks of the sunny river, the families of the soldiers in the military camp watched the soldiers on the post road from afar in the rice fields.
From time to time, children's laughter came.
There was a child beside the field pointing at the people on the road and calling him dad there. It was estimated that the child's father was also a soldier in the military camp and wore the same clothes.
Soon a woman came over from the field, took the child and left.
The men on the road burst into laughter, and someone called the child to call his father in various dialects.
Seeing all this, Sun Yonger felt that his thoughts were even more serious than in the military camp.
When they were about to arrive in Daning City, Sun Yonger changed into clothes at an inn and put on his neat and beautiful military dress.
This military uniform is usually worn during inspection and ceremony. It is inconvenient to wear during marching and formation. It is said that the white lining will have no place to wash.
So the military households who were traveling with him looked at him like a monkey, and some even made some sarcastic words in various dialects.
Most of the Han people in the Liaodong Dusi moved here after the Hongwu year, and the military households and families were the main ones, and there were people from all over the place.
But Sun Yonger didn't care at all.
This time, he not only injured his legs on the battlefield, but also his face was scratched when he fell down. He had a stroke and slept in the open, and he lost weight a lot.
He only thought that when he met his newlywed wife, who had just been together for a few days, he was so embarrassed that he turned back to his former bear.
When Sun Yonger rode his horse to Caishikou, all the familiar scenes appeared in front of him again.
It is still so noisy here, with tall pavilions and dilapidated shops around it, and peddlers and decent rich people are also moving on the same street.
There were a few people buying croakers in front of Wangji Shop.Sure enough, Li was also helping her, and she was rubbing her face in the shop.
Sun Yonger led the horse and walked slowly over, his legs still a little limp.The old woman of the Wang family who was selling her baby saw him first. She blurted out in surprise: You are back.
The few people who bought the baby looked back at Sun Yonger.
He was dressed neatly, carrying weapons and holding a horse in his hand, but his face changed a little, and his limping look was a little vicissitudes.
Li also raised his head and looked at Sun Yonger.
There was also a look of surprise on her face, and she stared at Sun Yonger for a long time. After a while, she came to her senses. She stroked the sweaty hair with the back of her hand and walked out of the door quickly.
Where are you injured?Li asked with concern, his face full of pity.
Sun Yonger shook his head and said: It's okay, the Tatar horse soldiers shot an arrow on his leg, it's almost done.
It's good that people are fine.Mrs. Li turned around hurriedly and said: I'll wash my hands and tie the horses, please come into the house and sit.
Sun Yonger found a place at the door, tied the horse, and then entered the house.
Li squatted in front of him again, wanting to see if his injury is important. He patted his left leg and said: The scars outside have healed, and I can't see anything. Let's go back and look again.
Li said: There is a doctor next door. I heard that he is very magical, so I will call him later.
Sun Yong said: Can you be more powerful than the medical officer of the Imperial Hospital?Seeing that Li didn't understand very well, he said, the medicine of the military doctor sent by the emperor was also a good medicine for the imperial use.
Mrs. Li asked again with kind words: Husband must be hungry, the baby is too oily, I'll go cook a bowl of noodles.
Don't be busy, sit down, I have something to say.Sun Yong said twice, and he glanced at the old woman of the Wang family in front of the shop again.
Li had to sit down on the bench next to him as he said.
Sun Yong said second: I came back from taking leave, so I have to go to the left guard of Chenyang as soon as possible to pay the deposit. It was originally agreed that after the war, you will be taken to Chenyang, and both old people will go, and the shop here will be transferred to someone else as soon as possible.
He paused for a moment and said: I haven't received the official salary for the past few months. I heard that after winning a battle, the emperor will allocate money to reward the soldiers, and there is probably still some money.I will arrange all the money for you, so you don’t have to worry about your livelihood in the past.
The old woman turned around and said: We won’t go.
Sun Yong said: Where to do business is not to do it, it is better to have a response when you go to the east.
Li said carefully: You can buy a family business through harvest, and you are an official again. Have we dragged you down?
Sun Yonger smiled and shook his head and said: I escaped from the garrison before, and had no land and no livelihood in Daning City. I was like a dilapidated house with no place to settle down. I stuttered and drank alone, and I didn’t know what to do in the future. No one knew when I died.Later, when I bought a baby at your house, I saw you mother and daughter, I felt that there were... very good people in this world.Sometimes I still dream that I can have such a family and a woman and a child.
He spoke very plainly, but suddenly remembered a casual statement.
However, Li was moved. She looked at Sun Yonger and her eyes were vaguely red.
Her expression looked a little sad, but Sun Yonger was not feeling uncomfortable anymore, I don’t know why she looked that way.
Perhaps, only when you have some reputation and recall the past at this moment will you feel sad.
Sun Yonger was also infected by her emotions and said a few more words: You are very nice to people and look good when you smile.The little girl is lively and jumping all day long, which makes people happy.If I hadn't met you and my mother, I really thought there was nothing interesting in this world.
For a moment, Sun Yonger was also a little surprised. He said it in his heart, but he didn't expect that he could speak very well.
It’s good to say it out loud. Li is indeed a little uncomfortable in front of him and is too pleased. Maybe she also feels that it is a bit unreasonable to marry an official.
As Zhou Yuanzhong said, this is not very common.
However, it was still very noisy outside, with various hawking and occasional laughter and beating sounds, which were incompatible with the emotions here.
Sun Yonger and Li didn't care, even the old woman of the Wang family seemed to have been forgotten by them for a while.
Li reached out and held Sun Yonger's palm. His red eyes suddenly smiled and said in a low voice: Let's go with you. When I arrive at the left guard of Chenyang, I will give you a few babies and live a good life together.
Sun Yonger was also happy and said with a smile: Very good, very good.
There were some bumpy brick floors outside the door, and the dust was as before.But today's sunshine seems particularly bright.
Some people want to go to Chenyang and Liaoyang; a few people go to the west of Daning City, which belongs to the Tunbao Guard of the former Daning Dusi.
Military officers will get a document, and when they arrive at a place where there is an official shop station, they can eat, live and replenish horses and food.
