Chapter 220: The end of suffering is suffering

The marriage of the Grand Marshal does not mean that Ezi went to worship the world and the earth. If it were so simple, everyone in the world would have to laugh out loud. No matter how simple it is, Li Si's identity is there, and this wedding can't be simple.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Even if you send off a bride, it is definitely not as simple as Ezi’s carriage to Beidu. The team sent by the Grand Marshal to welcome the bride, and the team sent a bride to the bride, and the number of male and female members must be used. There are strict statements on what kind of ceremonial guards are used, and what specifications are used for local officials along the way to welcome and send off. These trivial and complicated things are customized. Although it can cause trouble to people, it is also easy. As long as you do it honestly according to the rules, there will be no big mistakes.

For example, villages and towns like "Duanjiaji", because Duanjia and Duanjia are homophonic, it is too unlucky. Not only can they not pass by, but they also have to go around from afar. For example, a place name like Mingfeng Castle is a good place to go at first glance. You would rather go around a little far away than take a break in this place...

After leaving Huaixi and entering Henan, the bride-welcoming team and the bride-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-going-

It is said that it is a long journey, but it is actually much easier than marching and fighting. At least there is no need to carry a lot of supplies, nor do you have to worry about any enemy attacks or dangers. Just walk forward according to the predetermined mileage.

But the local government also needs to welcome and see off, and there are also some reluctances. Especially those local officials, who were born in the army to die, and the general was very happy, so he had to be more and more willing. As a result, he became more and more unable to walk.

In private, Ezi often said, "This is too slow to leave. If you want to follow this way, you will not be able to reach the capital in another month. Wouldn't it be a delay in the auspicious period?

The woman next to her hurriedly explained: "All this is arranged. You have already had a fixed number of miles to walk in a day. Now you are walking slowly, and you can go faster after you can. The main thing is that you have plenty of time. After crossing the Yellow River, you will be less delayed..."

Most of the teams were wearing military uniforms, and these soldiers who went to the death had to rush their way. If it was time, such a team would be nothing if they ran out for 140 or 50 miles a day and night. But this wedding was not a war, and they could not be so rushing around. Everything had to follow the rules. If there was a good resting place, it would be slow to thirty or forty miles a day. If the distance was a little wrong, and if it was a little more vigorous, it would be able to go out for 70 or 80 miles. Anyway, there were many cars and horses, and most of them were veterans of the horse camp under Laolu back then, and they were also considered Ezi's "direct" troops.

When it was time for Guide, the old prefect Ma Xiangwen was welcomed by ten miles from the suburbs and brought a group of local officials to settle the Ezi. The saddle was really busy.

Old Man Ma was originally a Hakka resident in Daoba Village. He taught me all winter every year. He was not familiar with Ezi, and he was considered a fellow villager. Now his identity is different. Old Man Ma dared not meet Ezi, and kowtowed through the curtains of the car...

Ezi didn't know any rules. Even if she knew, she wouldn't take these red tape seriously. She jumped out of the car and helped Old Man Ma up. But she was very scared by the old governor: "This is not allowed. Don't use the title of uncle anymore. You can't afford it. If this was done in the past, E... you are my mistress..."

A person like Old Man Ma is definitely not a pedantic. His level is to open up the children near the village. His level is very limited. Because of his loyalty and reliability, he was temporarily appointed by Li Si. He thought that he would replace Old Man Ma in the future. However, after becoming the prefect, he did not have any outstanding features, but he was also conscientious and managed the local government smoothly. This was enough. So he kept his post and looked at his attitude and probably would have to continue to post. Perhaps because he read too many unofficial history and miscellaneous notes, he didn't know how to call Ezi, even the words "Miss Mother" came out.

Old Ma is very simple in his ability, while moth is not at all good. If you say a few words, you may say something unreasonable. If you make any jokes, it will be really a joke.

The Central Plains was nominally from the Ming Dynasty, but the army to die was Li Si's private army. Moth quickly became the mistress of the army to die, and such things were recorded in the local chronicles...

Ma Xiangwen's work is definitely not just about welcoming and sending off moths, but also more important things.

After the moth and the people who were with him were placed, it was already dark as dark. The old man was sweating profusely and asked the servants below anxiously: "What's going on? Have you arrived?"

"I walked slowly on the road, but I haven't arrived yet, but it's too fast, I will definitely arrive before dawn..."

Old Man Ma was anxious when he heard this. When is this time? Why haven’t the person coming yet? This is the matter of the Grand Marshal’s secret order, and he didn’t dare to delay at all: “Prepare the car, follow me to urge…”

In the dark night, the sound of the wheels was busy, and Mr. Ma didn't care about the pain of running around. He took a few people out of the city and headed north.

The next day, the team that sent off the brides set off early, and Mr. Ma left the city to see him off...

Over the past few days, the festive atmosphere in the capital has become increasingly strong. The Grand Marshal is about to get married. Now that the world is peaceful and peaceful, the people are naturally happy.

The colorful archways along the street are still being built, the wedding flags everywhere have been picked up, and many more conspicuous places have been repainted, and even the miscellaneous items in the corners that have accumulated for many years are also being cleaned up. Although the wedding date is still some days, the women in the capital have prepared the red wedding words early and posted them everywhere, as if this is a collective wedding for the whole city. In the past few days, the old capital has been completely renewed...

With Li Si's current status, if he gets married, it can basically be considered a great joy in the country. Even if everything is simple, it cannot be really simple. If such a happy thing is not done in a mess, it will be done quietly. It is not only Zhongsheng Bo who is embarrassed.

I heard that many people are urging the general to do something to amnesty for the whole world.

Over the years, there have been turmoil everywhere, and there are many rioters who commit crimes. Even those rogues have been "made" by the times and become prisoners. As soon as the army goes to the death, they are arrested and imprisoned.

The criminal law on the death army is harsh, and as long as you go in, there will be no good things. With the news of the amnesty, many relevant families have begun to ask for help from relationships and want to know if there is a certain letter to this matter. It’s true that there will be a definite news in the short time.

The commander agreed to have a general amnesty, but these treacherous prisoners and sinners had to work in front of the army and would be free after three years. This is considered a special kindness. If they were in prison, it would definitely be a dead end. Now, taking advantage of the commander's festive opportunity, they can come out at least. Although they are going to work in front of the army, going to the dead army to fight is not called a war, but they are just going to make meritorious contributions. If they are lucky, they may be able to get a good background and have a good future after three years, but they are not lucky. They just think that they have been working in a free-time job for three years...

At such a big joy, even if the Zhongsheng Bo doesn't want to do it too luxuriously, the people below are still unwilling to do it.

Those officials and those who are rich, either are not the leader of the commander-in-chief? Or they are simply from the army to die. Now that everyone is well developed and life is better, at this critical moment of great joy, we can't be shabby, right?

Many families who are afraid of being poor and afraid to show off their wealth even if they have money. But now it is different. The guys who usually hold ingots and eat steamed buns have also paid a lot of money. The colorful archways on the street and the red posts of the wedding flags everywhere are all from the people. These things can’t be spent much, but it’s just everyone’s wishes.

The great battle to the death army is imminent, and everyone's chance to get rich is right in front of them.

When the general is fighting, everyone will make a fortune. If you don’t say anything else, just talk about the battles between the two Liaos. Shengjing has not yet been defeated, so many people are too rich to count, how many businesses take advantage of the opportunity to fight to make money, and how many people on the street have a way to make money...

So, this battle still needs to be fought, and it is necessary to fight a lot. Anyway, the general's team cannot be defeated, so it is better to continue to fight. Soldiers like the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and the people like the way to make money. In this way, war is no longer a tragic incident caused by war, but rather a good thing that many people expect.

In fact, everyone is looking at the situation. The war of fighting Wu Sangui and recapturing the two Liaos is nothing. Regarding the Great War, it is a real war, with the amount of manpower and material resources mobilized and the amount of troops prepared. It is unprecedented. When you see this situation, you will have to play a big game.

Who is Wu Sangui? He is smarter than a monkey when he is tired of hair. He is ready to go. As a dying army, who is willing to fall behind? Especially many well-informed families have heard of it. I heard that Zhang Xianzhong, the big thief leader, has surrendered to the Grand Marshal. Although this news has not been confirmed, it is only a matter of time. I heard that Sichuan is doing a larger-scale military-civilian mobilization, and Zhang Dazhe has put out hundreds of thousands of troops to participate in the battle. If there is no benefit, Zhang Dazhe is willing to work so hard?

Everyone's heart is like a mirror when it comes to the so-called Dazheng. Many people have won. When dealing with those barbarian countries, it is not about scaring Wu Sangui to stop, nor is it about shocking Zhang Dazhe to make a big noise and rain. This time, it is about to come true. It is about to fight to the point where it can be, and how much it can be grabbed. This is called taking action without mercy.

This is a good opportunity. How much energy you can have depends on your personal ability...

As long as it is related to interests, there will definitely be a competition. Especially in the face of such great interests, the battles will be even more tragic.

As the mission of the leader of Zhejiang businessmen, Pan Shenxing represented the interests of the Southeast. When preparing for the Grand Champions, Zhejiang businessmen also brought real money and silver. These silvers were said to be the ceremony for the wedding of the loyal Bo, but in fact they were investments in the early stage and capital. They took out the money to make more money, but not for free. Even if it was a gift, who had ever seen a gift with more than two million gold and silver?

Zhejiang businessmen have big hands and have paid real capital, but their asking price is also high, which in the eyes of many people, is simply outrageous.

According to Pan Shenxing's opinion, whether it is Zhejiang merchants, Hui merchants or Shanxi merchants who fought with the dead, they are all fellow practitioners and are all those who do business and make money. They should pay attention to making peace and make money. Therefore, Zhejiang merchants are preparing to take a big step, and let others earn money in the battle first...

Pan Shenxing looked polite and spoke reasonably and kindly.

When Hu Chaozong, the leader of the Hu family, saw Pan Shenxing's smile, he hated him so much that his back teeth were itchy, and he wanted to slap Pan Shenxing's fat face: "Is this the case for you Zhejiang merchants? It makes money with kindness? If you withdraw from the slave trading, our Hui merchants will also put all the gold, silver and wealth in your open account..."

The Zhejiang merchants' small abacus were rumbling, and they seemed to withdraw from the sharing of the benefits of the war, but their appetite was too fierce, and they actually wanted to monopolize the slave trade in the west.

Wherever the dead army went, all the prisoners of war and slave trade in the conquered areas must be done first by Zhejiang merchants, and the rest will be given to Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants. Jiangnan workers are better than merchants and require a large amount of cheap labor. Slaves, such as households and households, can be used as livestock. The permanent income of one investment can minimize labor costs. Then, the low cost can be used to attack other merchants again...

Others can calculate such a calculation.

Whether in Jiangnan or Huaixi, or everywhere, slaves were not in the official list, which means they were not protected by the law. At that time, the power of cattle, horses and animals could not be slaughtered privately, but slaves were not listed here, so they could use whatever they wanted, which would be a real profit. If the slave trade in the west was monopolized, it would be more cost-effective than moving a gold mountain.

According to the Zhejiang merchants' expectations, the wealth of gold and silver is mainly reserved for Hui merchants. After all, within the foundation of the death army, the Hui merchants would leave these clearly marked things for them. As for materials and other things, they were prepared for Shanxi merchants. Anyway, they were used to processing on-site and then re-sale again, which made it convenient for them to do so. As for the population, to be precise, slaves are the food of Zhejiang merchants. Jiangnan needs these cheap labor more than any place. As long as the slave trade is monopolized, the silver must not flow like the water of the river?

But everyone knows that the slave trade is the most profitable, and such a large piece of fat cannot be given up. The battle has not yet begun, but the strength of the money we paid is not small. How can we give up such great benefits?

On weekdays, one of the leaders of these industrial and commercial commissions looks as gentlemen, but when they are involved in great power, they will tear them apart and lose their kindness. They will inevitably push and pull while shouting, and sometimes they will take action...

The struggle between these big merchants has been long gone for a day or two, and after quarrels these days, they can't get a result. In the face of interests, everyone thinks they get too little and wants to squeeze out the other two companies. Under this premise, it is impossible to reach a compromise with each other, at least for the time being, there is no possibility of compromise.

Due to geographical advantages, the manpower and material resources of Shanxi merchants have been gathered in the west, and many children of Shanxi merchants have entered the army to die directly to serve as guides and spokespersons for interests, which others cannot compare with.

Not to mention Hui merchants, they have various connections with the army to die, and they have made the greatest contribution in taxation. When they have benefited, they will naturally be rich and do not fall into the fields of outsiders.

In this way, the status of Zhejiang merchants is a bit embarrassing. But it doesn’t matter, Zhejiang merchants have a relationship. There is a shadow of Lu Wang among Zhejiang merchants. Lu Wang and Zhejiang merchants have long been the case for each other to "help" each other. For the benefit of the Great Champions, Zhejiang merchants have long encouraged Lu Wang to send troops to prepare to fight with the Great Champions...

Everyone has capital and no one gives in. Just like the previous few days, they can’t get a mutual recognition result after making trouble, so they can only ask the Grandmaster to make a judgment again.

Several business leaders pulled each other's clothes, pulled and came to find Li Si.

The shopkeepers and bosses from all over the country who were waiting for news. When these people saw that their leaders were no different from those in the market in order to win the interests, they also loudly encouraged and applauded their own people.

This does not mean that the interests of any household, the people and capital involved are already unimaginable, and will have a huge impact on the business structure of the future generations. It is impossible not to fight for it.

However, this time, I did not see Li Si because the guard at the door had already said: "The general is discussing the secrets of military aircraft, and no one is allowed to get close to..."

The manpower and material resources that were hard to explain were gathered, and many battalions were ready to go, and many brave soldiers were waiting for the battle. The battle was already on the verge of arrows, the dispatch of troops, the maintenance of the army, the dispatch of materials, etc.... At this time, there were naturally many military operations to be done.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t see Li Si now, so everyone will wait outside. As long as you can decide the big thing, it is definitely worth waiting for three days and three nights.

In everyone's imagination, since they are discussing very important military secrets, there must be many generals gathering, but in fact it is not like this.

There were no generals gathering in the main hall, because the order of Li Si was the highest order of the army to die, and it must be implemented resolutely regardless of right or wrong. Li Si created the army to die and cultivated the generals with the other hand. So Li Si did not have to discuss anything with anyone, it was completely decided. There were only three people in the main hall:

One stand, one sit, one kneel.

Needless to say, the loyal Bo Li Si sitting was sitting.

Standing was a woman with a bloated waist and obviously pregnant. The woman had a coarse cloth jacket, a thorny cloth skirt, and a huge cross-crossing scar on her forehead and cheeks, looking like a yaksha who described her ugly appearance.

Kneeling on the ground was a man, who was clearly the long-lost Lu Zhili.

"Masterman..." Lu Zhi's words were filled with tremolo.

Since the separation of Guide, the current general has become a great achievement, and the former hero Lu Zhili has become a famous traitor rebellion. Not only is he sick but also has a broken leg, and he is no longer as majestic as he was back then.

Li Si looked at Lu Zhili, and there was no trace of emotion in his heart. But the situation changed people to what they are today, and there was nothing to say. The former generals of his former men have become disabled. Of course, this was caused by Li Si. Only Li Si himself knew what kind of thoughts he had in his heart.

Regardless of whether you have any pity in your heart, Li Si still had a cold and determined expression: "Get up, the soldiers who go to the death will not kneel down and be reborn. This is the rule. Could it be that you have forgotten your identity after you have been with the Tartars for a long time?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhili's eyes were filled with tears.

When the general said this in person, he was still a soldier who went to the death and a soldier. Why didn't Lu Zhizhi cry?

Because of a broken leg, Lu Zhili was very difficult to stand. The woman next to him reached out to support her. Li Si was already shouting loudly: "Let him get up by himself. The soldiers in the army who went to die can stand up by themselves as long as they have one breath. You were going to fall down by yourself, and I want to watch you get up by yourself..."

Awe and gratitude are all Lu Zhili's feelings for Li Si. When he heard the coach speak, he reached out and pushed away the woman who was supporting him.

The woman didn't like this, she was also a sharp-tongued person. She even sarcastically and sarcastically, and she also held a gun and a stick in her mouth. She said insincerely: "Hmph, the handsome man is so powerful, but he can't care about me. I'm not your soldier, and I don't have to listen to the orders. Lu Zhili is my man, so I will help him. Can you still use military law to rule me? Everyone in the world is afraid of your loyal uncle, and I'm not afraid..."

Li Si looked at the woman coldly, and his tone softened: "Lin Qianjin?"

"The Marshal still remembers the name of a woman like me. It is really a blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes. The Marshal helped me to marry Lu Zhili, so I thank you here." Lin Qianjin said this, but how could he say anything about thanking me in a cold tone?

Li Si looked at the Lu Zhili couple, stood up and sat down, and said slowly: "You all sit down, thank you for your hard work."

Li Si was really happy to see that Lin Lu and the other two had a match today's marriage, especially since Lin Qianjin was already pregnant, which made Li Si feel inexplicably relieved.

Lin Qianjin pulled Lu Zhili to sit down, and said with a sharp voice: "My man is the soldiers of your loyal uncle, and you can't say anything about whether you have to work hard or not. Since he is willing to do so, no one can say anything. But there is no one here that you, Dashuai Li, is the one who has no support from you? I didn't have the careful calculations of your loyal uncle? I was like what a hero you loyal uncle is, but it turned out that he was also planning to us little people. Hum, what hero, it's almost the same to say that you are a traitor..."

"Master, the daughter of the daughter doesn't know... she can't speak. She doesn't mean that..." Lu Zhili knew the temper of the Marshal best. He said that Li Si is not bad, and no one in the world dared to do this in front of Li Si. If the Marshal loses his temper, Lin Qianjin is not enough to have a hundred heads.

"That's what I mean. Don't he know what our great handsome man is doing?" Lin Qianjin was still shouting.

Lu Shili saw that Li Si's face became more and more gloomy and knew that this was the sign of being furious. He quickly grabbed his wife and said hurriedly: "How can you and I understand what the Grand Marshal did? Stop talking about it..."

"Hmph, what a hero you were originally. You first became a traitor who everyone scolded. Your body was also disabled. What else would you say? What did I look like? What did I look like now? How much suffering we have suffered, why don't you say it?" There is indeed a beautiful marriage between Lu Shizhi and Lin Qianjin. When it was about to be perfect, it became what I am today. How can I not be resentful in my heart?

"Let her say it." Li Si said in a deep voice: "I also want to hear what you couple think."
To be continued...
