[Qing Dynasty] Friends always come to chat with me in the middle of the night

Day after day, Tsarist Russia continued to fight against Aihui after taking a break. Although Aihui was not as powerful as Tsarist Russia, under Geng Jingzhong's strategy, the two sides were evenly matched and stalemate.Although Wei Tong adhered to the idea that civil servants do not go to the city wall and never approached it, one day he was caught by Geng Jingzhong and brought to the city wall.

The city wall here can be regarded as an important military site, and it is heavily guarded most of the time. Wei Tong has never been here before.The city of Aihui is relatively old, and the city walls are not very high. Looking down from the top, there are still quite a few ladders to climb the city.Many soldiers kept pouring hot oil from top to bottom, roaring constantly.There are even more archers who retreat a row and shoot as ordered.

Geng Jingzhong stood clearly in armor, and Wei Tong stood silently behind in ordinary clothes. No matter how low he was, when he stood on the city wall and looked down, the figure was still small, and people of different colors glued together to form a There was a strange torrent, and they kept fighting.

Wei Tong squinted his eyes and looked at the people below. In addition to the battlefield in front, the people standing behind the formation could also be vaguely seen. Surrounded by the carriage in the middle, it seemed that there was a person standing on the shaft looking at the battlefield ahead.Wei Tong poked Lieutenant General Zhang standing on his left, and asked in a low voice, "Who is that person?"

Deputy General Zhang was temporarily replaced by Geng Jingzhong today. As he came up to the city wall, he was depressed because he could not fight. When he found that the person standing next to him was Wei Tong, his face turned pale, "What are you doing here, a civil servant?" ?” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he embarrassedly remembered what happened when he was thrown out not long ago.Wei Tong didn't pay much attention, shrugged: "I was pulled up by the general just now."

Following the direction Wei Tong pointed at just now, Vice General Zhang quickly said: "That's the leader of Tsarist Russia. I don't know why. Anyway, he is quite boring. No matter how much he scolds, he will not move forward. "Wei Tong was silent for a moment, besides being reckless, Deputy General Zhang is also good at cursing, but the question is, can the Tsarist Russian understand it?If you can understand, normal people can't bear the abuse of Vice General Zhang.

Wei Tong was silent for a while, and suddenly took Vice General Zhang's bow. The speed was so fast that by the time Vice General Zhang found out, Wei Tong had already nimbly clasped an arrow in his hand, drew the bow fully, and squinted his eyes at the bow. people from afar.Deputy Zhang opened and closed his mouth in astonishment. Even though he knew that Wei Tong was not a weakling, almost no one could draw this heavy bow normally. It was something that could only be relied on strength, but Wei Tong actually pulled it away.

There were also people nearby who were frightened and stood behind talking about it.Hearing the whispers, Geng Jingzhong frowned, turned his head and was about to curse, but saw the moment when the arrow in Wei Tong's hand was shot.

The strong force is mixed with the wind, constantly breaking through the resistance, shooting out a perfect arc.

Wei Tong raised his hand to cover the sun, glanced at it, and then threw the bow back to Deputy General Zhang. Has it been too long since he touched his hands?

"Missed." He glanced at Lieutenant General Zhang and said calmly.Deputy General Zhang glanced at the distance, then at Wei Tong, swallowed and said, "You said you missed the shot, where did you miss it?"

"Of course it's the chest." Wei Tong looked at him strangely. Could it be that he still missed the leg?Of course the shooting was aimed at the most important place.Of course, it would be better to shoot in the head.

Geng Jingzhong glanced at the somewhat flustered formation on the other side of the formation, then at Wei Tong, and laughed lowly: "The leader of Tsarist Russia has been injured, pass on the order, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and leave no one alive!"

"Yes!"

The confrontation between Aihui and Tsarist Russia only lasted for a short period of time, and soon Tsarist Russia withdrew.This retreat caught people off guard, but then Geng Jingzhong contacted the other three towns, and it was the same.

Tsarist Russia's departure seemed to be a good thing, but Geng Jingzhong felt that there was something unusual. After the rectification, he did not relax his vigilance at all, and people were still on guard as they were patrolling during wartime.Sure enough, a month later, Tsarist Russia made a comeback, attacked the city of Yaksa, and quickly occupied Yaksa.

In anger, the imperial court ordered Geng Jingzhong to go to Yaksa, captured Yaksa in just a few days, and regained Yaksa. So far, it seems that nothing has happened.

Aihui seemed calm during the reconstruction, but Wei Tong received an order that he could not refuse.After the war, the imperial court naturally rewarded meritorious service, and Wei Tong was no exception. Because of his arrow technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, Wei Tong was highly recommended by the Minister of Internal Affairs Gabrahui, so the emperor issued an edict to let him accompany the person who issued the reward back home. Jing accepted the summons.

After falling asleep at night, in a dream, Wei Tong looked at Kangxi who appeared in front of him and said helplessly: "What do you think?" Kangxi chuckled and changed the subject: "No, you are wrong, this matter is really true. I didn't do it."

... If it wasn't made by Xuan Nong, it might have fallen from the sky.

"Although Tsarist Russia's offensive seems to be drizzle, the court still attaches great importance to Tsarist Russia. Although you didn't kill him, you gained the limelight. It's just that someone fueled the flames, and that's it." Kangxi said.

After Wei Tong learned the news, he didn't have any intention of objecting. After arriving in northern Xinjiang, Wei Tong realized that Tsarist Russia did not pose a great threat to the Qing Dynasty.At this time, Tsarist Russia was only a principality, and it came to plunder from time to time, causing little harm, but the treaty signed later was a little bit of a loss.

But before that...

"If there is no such thing as returning to Beijing, I would like to resign and go to Fujian." Wei Tong sighed, Wei Ning's unknown whereabouts made him restless.Kangxi patted him on the shoulder and said, "The man has been found, and he is now on his way back to Beijing."

For Wei Tong, this news is undoubtedly as good news as □□. He was delighted, and quickly said: "Xuan, what you said is true? Is she safe? How is it now?"

"She is safe, so you are willing to go back to Beijing now?" Kangxi looked at him with a half-smile, Wei Tong smiled, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Of course, Xuan, this small matter is of course no problem."

Speaking of this, Wei Tong suddenly remembered the location of Fujian, and he hesitated for a while before asking: "You said, my sister went to Fujian, isn't it to go to Taiwan?" He remembered that Taiwan seems to be something happened.

Kangxi smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Well he shut up.

The officials of Aihui were envious of Wei Tong's order, but also ironic.Since ancient times, civil and military affairs have been favored, Wei Tong was originally a civil servant, but in the end he was summoned in such a way, and people kept laughing secretly.Wei Tong didn't care, and heard it more than once. On the eve of leaving, Xing Zhiwen and others served him a farewell wine. Halfway through the drink, the two went out to talk. When they came back, they hadn't entered the house yet, and both of them heard the whispers in the house. .

Xing Zhiwen was in charge of this banquet, and he was very angry when he heard such words. He had already drank wine, and wanted to go in to drink and scold him when he was drunk, but Wei Tong grabbed him with one hand and pulled him aside.

"Brother Zhiwen, just listen to this matter and don't take it to heart. Anyway, I'm leaving soon, but you are different. It's not good for you to start a fight with them." Wei Tong persuaded.

Xing Zhiwen endured and endured, and then let go of his clenched fists, and said discouragedly: "It was originally for the joy of seeing off, but it turned out like this, wouldn't you be angry?"

"It's my brain to be angry with them." Wei Tong chuckled and said, "Originally, there was no need for civil and military disputes. Civil servants think military officials have no brains, and military officials think civil officials are weak. These are only based on their own interests. There's nothing wrong with that. Since I don't care about this, what they say doesn't make any sense."

Will be angry, just poked a sore foot.In Wei Tong's eyes, such a person, even if he reached the position of a first-rank official, was no match for a small soldier fighting on the battlefield.

"I made you more than ten years old, but there are some things that you don't see clearly. Wei Tong, in fact, I don't blame others for targeting you. Everyone knows what is going on in the officialdom. But sometimes you Behaving like a different kind, if it was ten years ago, I'm afraid I would be jealous and ridiculed at the same time." Xing Zhiwen suddenly felt emotional.

"Heterogeneous?" Wei Tong was thoughtful.

"Although you go in and out with everyone, no matter what it is, it involves interests, fame and fortune. Things that others work hard for are within your reach, but you can't avoid them."

"You mean... General Geng?"

"There's more." Xing Zhiwen sighed looking at Wei Tong who really didn't understand, and simply said some things that shouldn't be said out of alcohol. "Do you know what is the most annoying thing? If you are just aloof, others still have something to say, but you really don't care, it doesn't matter. It's fine if you're just a petty official like them all the time. Ai Hun is just a small place, but you are the only one who is valued by the nobles, and now you have the possibility of rising to the top, tell me, are those people going to die of anger?"

The relationship between Wei Tong and his colleagues is only average, and only Xing Zhiwen can be regarded as a good friend. He really doesn't care much about official affairs. When Xing Zhiwen said it tonight, he was surprised and made him laugh helplessly.

He has already witnessed the so-called pinnacle of power, and he doesn't have much interest in these things. In their view, he is indeed an outlier.What's more, he himself has never deliberately concealed it, and no one who is not a fool will not be able to see it.

"Brother Zhiwen, Tong is taught." No matter what, Xing Zhiwen was really worried about him, and Wei Tong was grateful.
