Chapter 33 New Years
There is neither snow nor frost in Guangzhou Dusi's winter, but the cold penetrates into the house through the dampness, cooling the bone marrow.

In the coolness, Chen Mu ushered in the first new year after joining the Ming Dynasty after just two months in this world.

The life in Anyuan Post Station is much better than that in Baihusuo, at least there is no need to worry about food and drink, there is a cook to cook every day, and there is enough rice and grain.When you are free, you can spend your own money to buy some wine and meat, which is enough to live a good year.

Since the Battle of Hundred Households in the Far East of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese pirates disappeared and escaped from Qingyuan, and the environment has been peaceful again.Ke Zeer, the postman, did not neglect Chen Mu and his party because of this, on the contrary, he respected Chen Mu and others even more because of their achievements. It is clear that during the bitter cold of the winter moon, the Anyuan Post Station is like a comfortable nest for Chen Mu and others. How happy it is!

In the early morning, there was a thick morning fog floating on the mountain river. Chen Mu slowly ran out of the fog with the figures of several military households. Everyone was sweating profusely, but they were extremely comfortable physically and mentally. Yuan leaned against the wooden pillar, with a rascal smile on his face, seeing these people panting like cows, he raised the bowl he was holding, and said with a smile, "Go in and wash it, the porridge is ready!"

As he spoke, he sniffed deeply at the side of the bowl with his nose, and said cheerfully: "It's fragrant and strong, I don't know how better it is than at home!"

The patched damp cotton-padded jackets of dilapidated military households can still see the white cloth wrapped around their necks. This habitual gambler has not fully healed his wounds, so he ran to Anyuan Station with his wife and children on New Year's Eve, saying that he felt that he was With a strong body, he can return to serve under Chen Xiaoqi's tent.

Of course, none of the members under his banner knew what kind of virtue he paid for Yuan, but he knew that according to Chen Junye's righteous temper, Dali would definitely eat a good meal to reward everyone for their hard work last year.As a result, as expected, Fu Yuan in Dali had forgotten the instructions of Cheng Hongyuan, a doctor in Guangcheng, and got drunk. Dance, howling loudly the hometown songs that no one can understand, lying on the bed for a long time the next day, the chest is red and it is clear that the wound burst, which provoked Shi Qi to ride the horse to Guangcheng to invite the old doctor again, good wine and good food Waiting, this is how to save a bad life.

The weather is slowly getting warmer. After January, there are a few light rains in Qingyuan. Although the military households are not good at fighting, they are good at farming. People say that this year will have a good harvest. Jiajing 46 years, Taiping years .

Is it really peaceful?

Seeing the 14-year-old Wei Balang holding a disproportionate Japanese sword in the courtyard of the post house, Chen Mu, who was wiping his sweat on his bare back, smiled and laughed at this question.

Everyone has their own hurdles that must be overcome in their hearts.

Chen Xiaoqi has only seen less than a thousand people in the past three months, and most of them are the banner troops of the entire Qingcheng Qianhu Office under the walls of Guangcheng and Qingyuan. However, after two fights, he saw forty or fifty lives with his own eyes. , Is this what the Taiping years looked like?
He is getting used to it, and he is also gaining strength.

Get used to the mentality of going with the flow of people and things that you can't understand beyond your expectations. Although this can't change the bad situation, it can make life easier.Change always comes slowly and easily, and makes things move in a better direction.

After cleaning his body, Chen Mu put on a cotton jacket and looked at the steam of nitrate coming out of the cave above Anyuan Post Station, with a natural smile on his face.

On the side of the official road years ago, the storyteller Shi Qi called Chen Mu aside and said a few words, making Chen Mu decide to save the lives of the two concubines.Now those two people, Qi Zhengyan and Long Junxiong, stayed in the cave day and night to boil nitrate for Chen Mu, and someone brought them meals every day. Of course, there were two Japanese knives in the cave, so they should not let go of their martial arts.

According to Shao Tingda who visited yesterday, half an inch of short hair has grown on the two heads that were shaved at the beginning.

In fact, Chen Mu always had an unwarranted prejudice and disdain for the literati of this era.This is not only due to the arrogance of the soul 400 years later, but also because for thousands of years, scholars have led the people to create great empires that dominate the world one after another. They are the mainstay of admiration; and now, they They are still admired and the mainstay, but the times are quietly changing, no matter what the process is, the result in Chen Xiaoqi's eyes is that they lost.

But this is actually unfair and objective, at least from the perspective of Chen Mu's present life, he has no reason to express disdain for scholars.

Shi Qi had a unique insight and said to Chen Mu: "From the Japanese, you can let the banner troops practice jumping and master their military strategies, so as to fight against the Japanese again and make meritorious deeds. Hair growth, Xiaoqi already has the way to stop it."

This is raising his hand casually, just scratching the itchy place in Chen Junye's heart.In this era, how many people in the future generations will not have some lofty ideals in their hearts to see the real chapter with the island country?
Shao Tingda shaved off their hair and stuffed them into a cave to pursue Chen Xiaoqi's nitrate-making career.From then on, Shi Qi, who was as thin as a monkey, seemed to be different in Chen Mu's eyes. He was not called a monkey, but Wen Ruo.

From Shi Qi's body, Chen Mu saw a terrifying group called 'Unsuccessful Scholars'.At this moment, he is not alone, he is the soul possessed by the dog-headed military division next to the mountain king who emerges in endlessly in the land of China. Song Jiang, who gathered 36 thieves in Shandong in the imperial examination, is Hong Xiuquan, the heavenly king who failed the imperial examination and left his career to people since ancient times!
Chen Mu looked tired and sweating sitting on the stone steps of the house with hot porridge snoring and delivering it to his mouth, and Shi Qi, who was still belching satisfied after eating, heaved a sigh of relief—fortunately, Shi Qi didn’t seem to think of soldiers He rebelled, so he probably had a dog-headed army division by his side like those sage kings.

Shi Qi's thinking is correct, as long as Chen Mu can control the hairless congwo and let them boil saltwater in the cave with peace of mind, they will not be afraid of hair growing on their heads.The scariest person in this world is the barefoot, because the barefoot is fearless and does not need to obey the rules, and no one can bear the blood splashing five steps in anger; but as long as the barefoot puts on shoes, it is no longer scary , because he is just a shoe wearer, and he finds it comfortable to wear shoes, so he wants to wear pants and clothes, and if he doesn't have enough clothes, he wants to wear a hat.

Chen Mu's promise is to help them put on their shoes, and return to the guard to be his pawn of Lord Chen.This year, there are very few banner men, and all the criminals rebelled, and no one came to serve in the army. It is much easier to make two military registrations than to find two people who are willing to be military households.

It was also Shi Qi's idea to give the Japanese sword, but they wanted to play hard to get, let them figure out whether it is better to be a military household again, or to flee to the end of the world with the method of boiling salt.There are a lot of things about boiling nitrate. Toasts in remote valleys are all doing it. It is not the only one for Mr. Chen Jun. It can be boiled out of feces and urine. It doesn’t matter if they take it away. How many days have you lived?

The military households who followed Chen Xiaoqi lived so chicly in Anyuan Station, but let them watch them!
Ma Ming came recklessly at the gate of the post station, and Ke Zeer stumbled into the courtyard and knelt on the ground, the tears on his face were still wet, and he continued to howl and kowtow towards the northeast.All the military households were so frightened by him that they gathered around to hear the postman spit out five words in a crying voice. It was as if a big bomb had been ignited in the air. Immediately crushed.

Because there is no Jiajing 46 years in the world.

Ke Ze'er said, "The emperor is dead!"

　Good afternoon, friends, I recommend it, hahaha!Favorites, favorites, favorites, recommended!recommend!recommend!
