Chapter 700: Sharing Food and Clothing, Every Nation Becomes a Soldier
Deng Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, who was standing at the forefront of the civil and military officials of Jingzhou, adjusted his makeup nervously after hearing the report from the messenger, and then asked Deng Ai behind him:
"Shi Zai, I have always known what the Grand Marshal likes.
I wonder if the Grand Marshal is satisfied with my arrangement today?"
There was some uneasiness in Deng Zhi's words.
After hearing Deng Zhi's words, Deng Ai couldn't help but smile.
"Mr. Deng, this is the third time you have asked Ai about this."
Deng Ai's answer made Deng Zhi look a little surprised, and he seemed to be wondering: Did I really ask this twice before?
But soon, the doubt on Deng Zhi's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look of relief.
Thinking about it carefully, he did ask Deng Ai about this matter three times.
Deng Zhi was a descendant of Deng Yu, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He received a good education since childhood and entered Shuzhong to seek refuge in his early years.
Later, his talent was appreciated by Liu Bei and he was gradually valued by Liu Bei.
To date, Deng Zhi’s most famous achievement in the world is undoubtedly that after the Battle of Gong’an, he went to Jiangdong on behalf of Liu Bei to renegotiate the alliance with Sun Quan.
Logically speaking, Deng Zhi had seen many important figures in the world, so he shouldn't be so nervous about Mi Yang's arrival.
But in Deng Zhi's heart, how could Sun Quan be compared with Mi Yang?
Grand Marshal, General of Heavenly Strategy, White Deer who Reopened the Han Dynasty
When all these titles are attributed to one person, I am afraid that except Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, there is no Han official in the world who does not have a strong respect for Mi Yang.
In addition to the above reasons, Deng Zhi was also the governor of Jingzhou at the time.
In the Han system, the governor was in charge of the political affairs of a state. During his years in Jingzhou, Deng Zhi deeply realized how popular Mi Yang was in Jingzhou.
Deng Zhi knew very well that if he was negligent or extravagant in any way, the people of Jingzhou would be greatly disappointed in him.
However, as the governor of a state, if he has lost the hearts of the people of the state, can he still continue to be the governor?
Considering these two reasons, it is understandable that Deng Zhi is currently in such a nervous state of mind.
Deng Ai could understand Deng Zhi's feelings, so even for the third time, Deng Ai still smiled and said to Deng Zhi:
"Please rest assured, Mr. Deng.
Although Da Sima likes luxury and pomp, he values the thought more.
Even if Lord Deng made some inadequate arrangements, the Grand Marshal would not blame him."
Deng Ai's answer made Deng Zhi feel a little relieved.
As one of Mi Yang's most valued direct descendants, Deng Ai must have a much deeper understanding of Mi Yang than ordinary people.
What Deng Zhi didn’t know was that while he was still reflecting on himself, some unexpected changes had happened behind him.
It turned out that in order to welcome Mi Yang's return today, Deng Zhi had specially come up with a unique welcoming ceremony.
Deng Zhi knew the significance of the Battle of Gong'an to Mi Yang. When Mi Yang left Jingzhou that year, he specifically asked Guan Yu to take care of the soldiers who were injured in the Battle of Gong'an.
Therefore, under Deng Zhi's arrangement, it was not just the civil and military officials of Jingzhou who stood outside the city to welcome Mi Yang today.
The wounded public security soldiers who were "forgotten" in Jingzhou by Mi Yang that year were also among them.
After hearing the news that Mi Yang was about to appear, the civil and military officials of Jingzhou were agitated, but they were able to hold themselves back.
But how could those wounded public security soldiers who had lived and died together with Mi Yang do this?
So, no one knew who took the lead, but when Deng Zhi was still leading the civil and military officials of Jingzhou looking forward to it, the hundreds of wounded public security soldiers actually took the initiative to leave the queue and ran towards the front.
This action of the wounded public security soldiers directly disrupted the welcoming team that Deng Zhi had carefully arranged.
After seeing this scene, Deng Zhi was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
"Everyone go back and don't make a scene!"
Deng Zhi's hoarse shouts continued to echo outside the city.
But Deng Zhi still underestimated Mi Yang's influence in the hearts of the wounded police soldiers. The wounded police soldiers heard Deng Zhi's shouts, but they still ignored him and ran forward.
The indifference of the wounded public security soldiers made Deng Zhi and other civil and military officials in Jingzhou anxious.
What a decent person!
However, no matter how anxious Deng Zhi was, he decisively rejected the suggestion of his subordinates to "use soldiers to suppress the riot."
Just kidding, although those wounded public security soldiers have low status, who knows what their status was next to Mi Yang in the public security battle that year?
Deng Zhi had no doubt that many of the police casualties were people who had once blocked the knife for Mi Yang.
The savior who suppressed Mi Yang with weapons?
Deng Zhi felt that she didn't want to retire early.
So, under Deng Zhi's "helplessness", hundreds of wounded public security soldiers continued to rush straight forward.
Seeing the behavior of hundreds of wounded public security soldiers, some civil and military officials of Jingzhou gritted their teeth and joined in.
Once there is a first, there will be a second. When some civil and military officials in Jingzhou started to take action, more and more civil and military officials in Jingzhou followed suit.
Until the very end, Deng Zhi, who was sighing and stamping his feet in anger, was also pulled by Deng Ai to run forward.
A welcoming ceremony turned into a running race. I am sure that this interesting scene will be recorded in the history books of future generations.
When the messenger came back to report, Mi Yang's caravan was already not far from Jiangling City.
So Shi Bao, who was leading his team in front of the convoy to clear the way for Mi Yang, soon discovered the "disturbance" happening ahead.
Shi Bao sat high on his warhorse. From his sight, he could clearly see that there were more than a hundred disabled people rushing towards Mi Yang's carriage.
When he first discovered this scene, the first word that came to Shi Bao’s mind was “enemy attack”.
But soon, these two words were dispelled from Shi Bao's mind.
Not to mention that those hundred people are all disabled, and not to mention that they are now in the heart of Jingzhou, the expressions on those hundred people's faces are full of excitement and joy.
Shi Bao launched an attack with excitement and joy. He felt that there should be no such person in the world.
Shi Bao was confused for a moment, so just in case, he could only order the soldiers behind him to form a defensive formation. He then quickly rode his horse to Mi Yang's carriage and reported the matter to Mi Yang.
When Mi Yang, who was sitting in the carriage, heard about this, his first reaction was also surprise.
However, he also had a vague guess in his mind.
In order to confirm his guess, Mi Yang hurriedly got off the carriage, rode a horse, and headed forward with Shi Bao.
Not long after, when Mi Yang rode his horse to the front of the team, he also saw the hundreds of disabled people rushing towards them.
At this time, the more than one hundred disabled people were not far from the front of the team, and Mi Yang could clearly see the group of people running in the front.
"Wang An!"
After seeing clearly, Mi Yang subconsciously called out a name he hadn't called for a long time.
In Mi Yang's sight, the man named Wang An was running hard in front of the crowd, his right sleeve was empty and fluttering in the wind.
Because he lost an arm, Wang An's center of gravity was unstable and he would fall every time he ran a certain distance.
But every time after falling, Wang An would stand up as quickly as possible and continue to move towards Mi Yang.
As Mi Yang's gaze continued to move, some familiar faces that were deeply buried in his mind suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Among those people, some were missing an eye, some were lame, and some were missing a hand.
Everyone has a disability, but everyone has an excited look on their face.
After seeing this scene, Mi Yang's eyes were filled with tears.
"Today you and I share the same blade, tomorrow you and I will share food and clothing!"
Mi Yang couldn't help but recall the promise he made to the six thousand elite soldiers in Gong'an City.
With the appearance of Mi Yang, the wounded police soldiers and others who were running in the front became more and more excited when they saw Mi Yang's figure.
At the same time, they couldn't help but shout out two words that Mi Yang hadn't heard for a long time.
"Mi Lang! Mi Lang!"
That year, Mi Yang was not a Grand Marshal, nor was he a General of Tiance. He was Mi Lang, a powerful official in Gong'an City!
When Mi Yang heard the word "Mi Lang", a smile appeared on his face.
At the same time, he saw the soldiers in front of him forming a defensive formation, and he could not help but shout, "Everyone retreat!"
Mi Yang's stern shout frightened the soldiers in front who had formed a defensive formation and quickly dispersed in all directions.
At this moment, there was no longer any obstacle between Mi Yang and the hundreds of public security soldiers.
Not long after, a group of wounded public security soldiers, running out of breath, rushed under Mi Yang's horse.
They excitedly surrounded Mi Yang, and even pushed the personal troops surrounding Mi Yang several steps away.
All of Mi Yang's personal soldiers who were squeezed out had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Can this group of people have a sense of boundaries?
Who are the personal soldiers of the Grand Marshal?
What Mi Yang's personal army didn't know was that the hundreds of people before them were their predecessors.
After Mi Yang was surrounded, the wounded police officers, led by Wang An, all raised their heads and said to Mi Yang in an excited tone:
"Mi Lang, you are finally back!
Mi Lang, do you still remember me? It was me who tied Sun Huan to the city wall back then!
Mi Lang, I just gave birth to a son, and I tell him about our past deeds every day!
糜郎
"Mi Lang"
The eager cries of "Mi Lang" instantly drowned Mi Yang.
Listening to the chattering voices around him, Mi Yang not only did not feel it was noisy, but instead felt a warmth flowing in his heart.
At this time, the group of Jingzhou civil and military officials in the rear finally ran to Mi Yang.
But before they could catch their breath, they saw the scene of Mi Yang being surrounded by a group of wounded public security soldiers and reminiscing about the past.
This shocked all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou.
Deng Zhi, in particular, was very glad that he had not given the order to stop the wounded police officers.
At the same time, Deng Zhi also thought that just hundreds of wounded police officers had caused the current chaotic situation.
If he leaked the news of Mi Yang's arrival in advance, or even arranged to meet him outside Gong'an City, then
Deng Zhi couldn't even imagine that kind of scene.
Mi Yang, who was sitting on his horse, also saw the arrival of Deng Zhi and other civil and military officials from Jingzhou.
So Mi Yang lightly raised his whip, signaling the wounded public security soldiers to stop and reminisce for a while.
At Mi Yang's signal, the wounded public security soldiers who had just "disobeyed orders" immediately stopped talking.
They all looked up and fixed their eyes on Mi Yang.
Mi Lang, you seem to have lost some weight.
Damn Liangzhou and Guanzhong, they made their Mi Lang skinny!
When the scene returned to silence, Mi Yang looked at Wang An and asked:
"How have you been doing in the past few years since I was away from Jingzhou?"
As soon as Mi Yang asked this question, all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou, led by Deng Zhi, immediately held their breath and concentrated.
At the same time, they were constantly reflecting on whether they had treated these wounded public security soldiers unfairly in the past.
But fortunately, Wang An's next answer made them all breathe a sigh of relief:
“It’s fine.
You don’t know, even though we are all disabled, the local government has always taken good care of us.
The granting of land and rewards during festivals have never stopped.
Just two years ago, the government built a school in our village."
After saying this, Wang An said to Mi Yang in a thankful tone:
"Even if the local government doesn't take care of us, we will have no worries about food and clothing just with your fiefdom!"
Mi Yang made many military achievements, and Liu Bei was generous to him, so for many years Mi Yang's fiefdom amounted to about 20,000 households.
Despite having so many fiefs, Mi Yang did not monopolize them all.
Whenever the fiefdom reported its income to Mi Yang, Mi Yang would only keep a small portion for himself, and gave most of the rest to the wounded soldiers who had fought alongside him through thick and thin.
Sharing food and clothing, this was the promise Mi Yang made back then.
When Wang An said this, Mi Yang couldn't help but patted Wang An on the head and said:
"Before you couldn't read a single word and would always refer to yourself as "I". Now you have changed not only that, but you can even use idioms!"
Wang An, who was teased by Mi Yang, showed an embarrassed look on his face.
Wang An's reaction caused hundreds of wounded police officers to burst into laughter.
While Mi Yang and the wounded soldiers were enjoying themselves, Deng Zhi saw that it was getting late, so he stepped forward, bowed to Mi Yang from a distance, and said to him:
"The journey between Guanzhong and Jingzhou is long, so it would be better for you to go into the city and have a good rest first."
As soon as Deng Zhi finished speaking, before Mi Yang could say anything, Wang An patted his head and said,
"Yes, you must be exhausted."
After saying this, Wang An took Mi Yang's reins with his left hand and wanted to personally lead him into Jiangling City.
During the Battle of Gong'an, he was responsible for holding the rope for Mi Yang.
When the wounded police officers around saw Wang An's actions, they began to follow suit.
The wounded public security soldier who had cleared the way for Mi Yang in those days took over the guard of honor from Mi Yang's personal soldiers, who had a resentful look on their faces.
The wounded public security soldier who had been guarding Mi Yang in the past snatched the spear from the hands of Mi Yang's personal soldiers, whose heads were covered with black lines.
then
At this moment, they seemed to have returned to the past, forgetting their physical defects and faithfully performing their respective duties.
Mi Yang was also happy to see this scene, so he did not say anything to stop it.
Before coming to Jingzhou, a minister advised Mi Yang:
"Sixty thousand elite soldiers may not be enough for the enemy Wu."
If those ministers who were advising the emperor saw this scene, they would probably slap themselves hard in the face.
insufficient?
I'm afraid that as long as Mi Yang wants, he only needs to issue an order and all the people in Jingzhou can be soldiers!
