Nolan Meng's Timeless Tales Chapter 8

On the seventh day of April in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Shen Baihu, who had the secret order of King Yan, set up camp under the command of Kaiping Wei Zheng Qianhu. The knights who followed him to Kaiping were also organized into the army. One person serves as the general flag, and nine serve as small flags. His subordinates are divided equally between infantry and cavalry. Coats, weapons, and war horses were all allocated on the same day. The work efficiency of the relevant personnel of the guard office successively refreshed various records of Yousi.

It can be seen that leaning against a big tree makes it easy to enjoy the shade, and the power of the word "Yan Wang" is great.

Zheng Qianhu was originally one of the 100 households of Kaiping Zuotun Guards. He was promoted to the position of 1000 households because he followed the King of Yan in his northern expedition to the desert in the 29th year of Hongwu and made many meritorious deeds.

In a sense, Zheng Qianhu had stepped on the King of Yan's ship. The commander of the guard, Xu Zhong, arranged for Shen Xuan and his party to stay with him, which was not without the consideration of the King of Yan.

Your Majesty is old and has been ill for a long time. The grandson was young, and the vassal kings were young and powerful. King Yan, King Ning, King Jin, etc. had made outstanding military exploits and shocked the northern frontier.

Once your majesty becomes popular, the grandson is weak and the kings are strong. As long as there are no different intentions, it will be okay. If... he befriends King Yan or the Fuyin clan, he may bring disaster to the whole family.

Zheng Qianhu shuddered, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

On the tenth day of April, in Mengjiatun, less than three hundred miles away from Kaipingwei, Nolan Meng, dressed in a red coat and with a wooden sign hanging on his waist, stood at the entrance of the village and said goodbye to his family and tribe.

Ivy Meng held Nolan Meng's hand and seemed to have endless words of advice. The two sisters-in-law stood behind Ivy Meng, their eyes were red when they saw their uncle who was about to leave. Third Sister Meng tugged on the hem of Nolan Meng's clothes, while Fifth Sister Meng simply hugged Nolan Meng's thigh, crying until she hiccupped.

"Uncle Twelve..."

Looking at everyone in the family, Nolan Meng was ashamed.

He was moved, but he was only going to join the army, not to die.

Is this necessary?

Meng Chongjiu and several relatives also saw him off on the roadside. The clothes and dry food purchased by the tribesmen were tied to the back of a horse, and the reins were held in the hands of a tall young man. He was Meng Chongjiu's second-grandson. His name was the character for tiger. He was three years older than Nolan Meng, but he was He was not ranked according to the Qing surname in the family, just because his father was the son-in-law and his surname was originally Chen.

Even though Meng Hu is only seventeen years old, he is tall, has long legs, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his rugged masculinity is very eye-catching.

This kind of figure and temperament is totally someone's cup of tea. But standing in front of him, Nolan Meng felt sour and couldn't think of anything else. This was not because Meng's bottom line suddenly improved, but because Meng Hu looked too "upright".

Referring to the main theme movies of later generations, this is definitely a tall figure holding an explosive pack in his hand, plugging the machine gun hole in his chest, shouting for comrades to move forward.

In comparison, Nolan Meng is more like a communist reactionary hiding in the trenches, waving a small pistol, and telling his brothers to rush forward.

With such a decent person beside him, Nolan Meng felt a lot of pressure, unusually high.

He really couldn't figure out why Old Fox Meng could raise such a grandson?

Could it be that the old fox wanted to take this opportunity to send him away because his grandson was so brilliant, and also sell himself a favor?

Nolan Meng was unwilling to "smear" his uncle's image in his mind like this, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this was the most likely possibility.

Looking back at Meng Qingjiang, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, okay, he admitted that he proposed to let Meng Qingjiang "join the army" just to embarrass Meng Guangxiao, but he did not expect that the other party agreed so happily, and he took less than five minutes to think about it.

Nolan Meng only mentioned Meng Qinghai a few words, and Meng Guangxiao acted as if Meng Qingjiang was not his own, but picked up.

This makes Nolan Meng, who wants to be a bad guy, quite unfulfilled.

The so-called embarrassment is meaningless if it cannot achieve the expected results.

But having many strong men on the road is not a bad thing. As for what will happen to Meng Qingjiang in the future, it all depends on him. As long as the bottom line is not violated, he will not deliberately embarrass Meng Qingjiang.

It can be seen that he is still quite kind.

Seeing you off thousands of miles away, we must say goodbye in the end.

Nolan Meng cruelly pulled away the fifth sister Meng who was holding her thigh. The little loli cried so hard that her eyes were like walnuts. Nolan Meng's eyes were also a little sore. He gently stroked the heads of third sister Meng and fifth sister Meng, and his voice was a little... Huhua said, "Third sister, fifth sister, do you still remember the agreement you made with uncle twelfth? Wait, uncle twelfth will do what he said, and he will make third sister and fifth sister beautiful and beautiful!"

Skye Meng and Piper Meng cried again. Nolan Meng bowed and saluted Meng Chongjiu without saying a word. However, Meng Chongjiu understood his plea and reached out to help him up, "Don't worry, little boy, Jiu Shugong will be there for you." Live up to your trust."

"Thank you, Uncle Nine."

After saluting the clan elders one by one, Nolan Meng knelt down in front of Prince Meng with a plop, kowtowed three times, "Mother, my son is gone!"

"My son will become a great person," Prince Meng said without crying again, her voice trembling: "Mother is waiting for you to return home in glory! When that day comes, your father will also be able to smile!"

Nolan Meng stood up and turned around to leave before brushing off the dust on his clothes.

Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang followed him, while Ivy Meng stood there until the three people's backs disappeared, and then they were helped home by their daughter-in-law.

At this time, Meng Guangxiao, Meng Guangshun and others were bedridden. While drinking medicine, they wished they could drive nails into Nolan Meng's villain and slap the soles of his shoes.

The reason is very simple. Not long ago, Nolan Meng visited several of his cousins' homes every now and then, and exchanged greetings behind closed doors. Each time, he brought home treasures ranging from several copper coins.

Meng Guangxiao and others gritted their teeth and stuffed the treasure notes and copper coins into his hands, smiling uglier than crying.

Dont accept it? Absolutely not! Pay back the money? No, definitely not!

As long as Meng Twelve Lang is alive, don't think about fighting the Tatars all day long, and don't be so hot-headed as to write to the Grand Order "All men of the Meng family want to kill the enemy and serve the country" is more important than anything else!

It is bestowed upon you by your elders and cannot be turned away.

Meng Twelve Lang is a filial boy, so he naturally wants to fulfill the reputation of his cousins. As for whether Meng Guangxiao and others would vomit three liters of blood, it was none of his business.

Compared with the land stolen by several uncles, these treasure notes and copper coins are just a fraction, but for Ivy Meng and others, they are enough to support their lives for a year. Similarly, with Nolan Meng's propaganda, the reputation of Meng Guangxiao and others in the countryside has also improved. However, Meng Qinghai was still marginalized in school, but he still participated in the college examination with a fearless spirit and passed the examination. Of course, this is something.

The big house in the family was not sold, and the three acres of dry land were given to Meng Chongjiu's eldest grandson to cultivate. Except for the tax and grain, Meng and Wang family only kept 10%, and the rest went to him. This was decided by Nolan Meng after discussing with Ivy Meng. Meng Chongjiu had helped him so much and even though the other party didn't mention it, Nolan Meng couldn't help but take it to heart.

After all, dealing with people is also a science.

Before leaving, Nolan Meng also did one more thing. He gave two Confucian classics and notes copied at home to the elders of the clan.

"In order to avenge his father and brother, Nolan Meng gave up literature and joined the martial arts. These things are of no use to Nolan Meng. It is better to entrust them to the clan and give them to the children of the clan."

From Nolan Meng's point of view, he could recite the contents of the book backwards and forwards. This was just a way of giving away things he didn't need, and forming a good relationship by the way. But it is a great thing for the Meng clan. Books are already rare, let alone the notes written by Meng Twelve Lang. He passed the examination as a boy student. If he had not been expelled from the school, even a scholar could have passed the examination.

The elders of the clan made the decision and wrote the matter on a wooden plaque and enshrined it in the ancestral hall to honor the virtues of Meng Twelve Langs.

Finn Magistrate heard this and praised Nolan Meng's character, but also felt a little sorry that he would no longer take the imperial examination.

"This one is really rare."

Within a few days, Meng Twelve Lang's reputation became even greater. If he hadn't been a military householder now and was in filial piety, the matchmaker might have been able to level the threshold of the Meng family.

Nolan Meng was a little embarrassed. Didn't he just send a few books and be a good person?

In the final analysis, Meng is still not familiar enough with the Ming Dynasty and does not know enough about what "reading" means in this era.

It would be a few years later when he truly understood the meaning behind this incident. By that time, all the Meng family disciples who took the imperial examination path would express their gratitude to the Twelve Langs, who would be Beiping Prefecture and even Beizhi in the future. Officials and officials all know the allusion of "Twelve Langs presenting books".

The so-called flowers planted intentionally do not bloom, but willows planted unintentionally create shade. This is not the case.

After leaving Mengjiatun, Nolan Meng went all the way north. He and twelve men from the same village were sent to garrison camps such as Kaiping Guard.

Except for him who took the initiative to join the army, everyone else was either hooked up or followed. There were several police officers and two military attachés accompanying him. After leaving Beiping Mansion, there were more than 20 people in the team.

With five or six noodles and half a cooked chicken, Meng Qing and Chenggong became brothers with the two policemen, and also found out the origins of most of the newcomers from his mouth.

"Criminals are being sent to the army." A police officer wiped the grease from his mouth and pointed at a middle-aged man sitting on the roadside to rest, "See, don't you see that man? He was a former fifth-grade officer in the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War. Now, hey! "

Nolan Meng suddenly realized that his immediate boss's immediate boss, no wonder this person's expression was so vulgar.

Being an official in the early Ming Dynasty was indeed a precarious thing. The so-called ferocious examples of killing officials, exterminating families, and catching all the Jinshi in the same ranking can probably only be seen in the Hongwu Dynasty.

The Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War is in charge of military registration, weapons, and military examinations. The arsenal doctor is a fat man with a higher risk index. Its not surprising to see someone here.

After a short rest, the team continued on the road.

The scenery we saw along the way gradually became different, and we could smell the vast green grass in the wind.

The inspections that set up checkpoints on major road sections have also become extremely strict. Even if there are police officers accompanying them, and Nolan Meng and others have tooth tags with them, the inspections still meticulously check the official road guides.

In later generations, the police probably did not take their household registration checks so seriously.

After passing Chengde, the team separated again. Most of the soldiers who were deregistered were sent to Xincheng Guard, and more than ten criminals who were transferred to the army were sent to Quaning Guard. Nolan Meng went to Kaiping Guards together with the unlucky former doctor of the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War.

Why did he enjoy the same treatment as a prison officer and be sent to the far north of the border?

It is reported that the reason was that Chen Heng, the commander of Peking City, had a hand in the "distribution" issue of Meng Twelve Lang.

The warrior's way of thinking about problems has always been direct. Kill the Tatars and avenge his father. Of course, he must go to a place where he can see the Tatars.

Chen Heng did have good intentions, but Yu Nolan Meng had no idea.

Before nightfall, Nolan Meng and his party finally arrived in Longhua.

Nolan Meng was on the road for days, even if he had a horse to travel on his behalf, it was too much for Nolan Meng. The former arsenal doctor of the Ministry of War was in high spirits. In the gap where the police couldn't see him, he stared at Nolan Meng's bag of dry food with a green light in his eyes. He opened and closed his palms, his joints cracking, and he was grabbing something. its intention.

Looking at the pair of green eyes, Nolan Meng had a premonition that something was not going to happen, so he quickly took two big steps back, not forgetting to display his helpful spirit and kicked out Meng Qingjiang who was slightly closer. But the direction of his kick was a little wrong. Meng Qingjiang drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and jumped directly in front of the doctor. Under the action of inertia, the back of the former doctor's head successfully hit the ground.

I dont know if its bleeding or not, but Im sure there will be a big swelling.

The police who had solved the problem of grain reincarnation came back and saw this scene.

Nolan Meng took the first step and covered Meng Hu's mouth and laughed dryly, "Don't get me wrong, you two. In fact, my cousin admires the martial arts of the former doctor. During the competition, it is inevitable that the horse will make mistakes and the man will make mistakes..." ...."

Within a radius of five miles, there was an instant silence.

Before Meng Qingjiang could stand up, his back molars were already grinding loudly.

Nolan Meng, Meng Twelve Lang, I and you are at odds with each other!
