Chapter 1047 Let's listen to the wind
"...Girl, may I ask, how can I get to Zhang Village?"
Under the sunshine of early autumn, the wind blew through the sea of rice in the field. A knight dressed as a scholar stopped a dark-skinned village girl carrying water on the ridge of the field and asked.The village girl sized him up.
"Go to the other side of the main road, and you will arrive in half a day... Why are so many people going to Zhangcun recently, what are you doing in Zhangcun?"
"A lot of people have been to Zhangcun recently?"
"A lot, someone asked me yesterday."
"Oh, I don't know what they are going to do." The scholar was thoughtful, and then smiled, "I am a scholar from Huzhou, and I heard that the Huaxia Army has conquered the world, so I came to Zhang Village to seek fame."
"Huzhou persimmon? You are a person, where is a persimmon?"
"Oh...Scholar, scholar, I mean scholar. Thank you, Miss, for showing me the way. Is that the way?"
"Well, on the main road, go south and go straight. Scholars, you should have said it earlier." The dark-skinned girl looked him up again.
"Thank you, thank you. Thank you, Miss, for showing me the way."
At the end of the conversation, the scholar saluted, watched the black girl pick up water and walked towards the village not far away, then walked towards the other side.His five brothers were waiting by the small river beach not far away. The scholar went over and confirmed with them that they were in the right direction.
"There are a lot of people going to Zhang Village recently, so I'm afraid it will attract attention?" Someone worried.
"If they are all martial arts practitioners, I am afraid they will not let them go. However, it is true that the Huaxia Army defeated the Jurchen. I think there are many people who have gone to join them recently. Let's wait until we get mixed in with these people... The more people there are, the more Huaxia people will be. The more troops the army has to prepare, we can make him exhausted if we go to raise a whistle and set off a fire..."
"That's right."
"Since we are already close to Zhang Village, it is not easy to take the main road. According to my younger brother, we should just go along this main road from a distance. If my younger brother's calculation is correct, there must be more checkpoints on the main road."
"That's settled then."
Several people made a plan, and some people laughed again.
"Speaking of which, that girl just now looks pretty good."
"...Hei is a little darker, but it is strong and strong, and it can be fertile at first glance."
"My brothers don't know, but from a close look, they actually look quite handsome. We just said that we are scholars, but she looked me up several times. That look... You know, these people in the village think about it all day long. Just being able to match a scholar, that's how it's sung in dramas..."
"Don't tell me, fifth younger brother pretends to be a scholar, it's really amazing, just that girl just now, we want to come to propose marriage, it will be done!"
……
The wanton words spread into You Hongzhuo's ears far away with the autumn wind, and he smiled slightly.
The dialogue of the six people in front made him feel a little nostalgic.
He killed someone from that small mountain village before, and later met six brothers and sisters, and only after they became sworn brothers did they start wandering all the way.Although not long after, due to the betrayal of his fourth brother Kuang Wenbai, the group fell apart and he was hunted down because of this, but in retrospect, he was lonely and helpless when he first entered the rivers and lakes, and then the rivers and lakes gradually became complicated and heavy. During the time he spent with his brothers and sisters, the rivers and lakes appeared pure and interesting in front of his eyes.
At that time, the rivers and lakes he saw every day were new, and the rumors he heard were all very refreshing. The seven people helped each other and didn't have to sleep tremblingly-even though it was an illusion, but such warmth and stability, later. Never again.
Fighting all the way in the past few years, I have met many like-minded people who have contributed to the resistance against Jurchen and Liao Yiren. I have actually seen many people who can be trusted and trusted, but as far as he is concerned, there is no longer sworn worship mood again.Thinking about it now, it was also my own bad luck. The road when I entered the rivers and lakes was too cruel.
These warriors living in the south are more or less naive and disorganized.
He followed the six people all the way far.The Chengdu Plain has a wide field of vision. Fortunately, these people took the main road in the first half of the journey, but in the second half of the journey, these six people had ulterior motives and left the avenue to find woods and trails to detour, which provided conditions for You Hongzhuo to follow.
Along the way, You Hongzhuo thought about who should help and who is a good person in his heart.The six people in front of him made him feel more or less kind. On the whole, these six people really made up their minds to do what they thought was right.But on the other hand, the closer to the core area managed by the Huaxia Army, the more refreshing the surrounding scene is. The land here is fertile, the paddy fields stretch, the roads are solid, and the villages are well-organized. Many places can clearly see the newly reclaimed land. Mark of.
Since the time when her daughter-in-law went to the Tiger King many years ago, she has been developing agriculture and commerce, and painstakingly cultivated farmland in various places.Especially in the context of the Jurchens going south, she has been struggling to support the whole situation. Some places were burned by the Jurchens and destroyed by the villains headed by Liao Yiren, but the female minister has been doing her best to repeat the construction.You Hongzhuo has been helping in the women's camp for several years, and he has become more and more clear about these moving deeds.
During the more than ten years of turmoil in the Central Plains, the whole world was broken and smashed to pieces, but only Jindi, which was originally difficult to survive, survived a not-so-weak livelihood.You Hongzhuo has seen many places where there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles and bones are exposed in the wild.This is the achievement and pride of being a native of Jindi.But compared with the scene in the southwest, such achievements seem to be nothing.
For so many years, the Chengdu Plain has never experienced a major war.Did such a scene exist before, or was it built after the arrival of the Huaxia Army?
As he walked, he calculated these problems in his mind.
On the other hand, he recalled his overall feeling during the recent period. Except for the six knights in front of him, there were indeed quite a few people who wanted to make trouble when they went to Chengdu recently. No less.The strength of the Huaxia Army was stretched after defeating the Jurchens. If so many people were scattered and wanted to cause trouble of one kind or another, how would the Huaxia Army deal with it?
When they were in Jindi, they also encountered such a situation.The enemy is not only the Jurchens, but also Liao Yiren, who has taken refuge in the Jurchens. He also offered high rewards to incite such and such desperadoes to take the heads of female faces. As a woman who is used to being the prime minister, she listened to all kinds of bewitching words and wanted to kill her.
As the guard of the female minister, the dragon king followed the female minister to protect her, and You Hongzhuo and others spontaneously acted as defenders in the green forest.During this period, there were actually some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and of course there were more tragic fights one after another.
What should the Huaxia Army do?Judging from the situation this time, so many "men of justice" stood opposite them.With so many enemies, if the chaos reaches the level of Jindi...
As the sun was setting, You Hongzhuo was thinking about these things while following the six people in front of him into the sparse woodland around Zhang Village...
……
July [-]th, Chengdu, the sun is still shining brightly on the city.
Crowds are bustling, merchants are coming and going, all kinds of people in the city are going their own way, and the quarrels among the great Confucians in the newspapers are becoming increasingly fierce. There are indeed several chapters that have been actively discussed, even after many years. Leave your name on the record.
The scholars who were determined to seek fame and fame in the Huaxia Army gradually grasped some rules for the several subjects required for the school examination.In addition to studying and studying every day, even some private evening schools and study classes have been opened in corners of the city. The scholars who first found these places seemed to have found shortcuts. People took tutoring and discussions, and gradually opened up. opened the door to a new world.
The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament began to stir up a lively atmosphere in the city.The preliminary competition of this selection contest will officially end in August, and in the last ten days of July, there are already seven or eighty eight players who may emerge in the competition.Based on this background, Zhu Ji compiled a list of warriors who have already qualified for the shortlist after two victories.
Since gambling is not allowed by the government, and it is inconvenient to make too subjective rankings, two underground casinos joined forces with some authoritative experts in private to compile a list of the top [-] warriors temporarily appearing in Chengdu.The two lists vividly count the life stories and martial arts of each martial artist, and the odds of future martial arts competitions will also fluctuate because of this—with gambling and stories, the curiosity and enthusiasm of the people in the city for this martial arts competition, It began to gradually increase.
All the scenes showed a sense of prosperity, and even the previous fierce attack on the Huaxia Army became somewhat restrained after July and a half.But inside the undercurrent of the city, tension is constantly piling up, waiting for something to erupt.
After receiving the notice that Shishi was free, Yu Hezhong followed the female soldier Xiaoling, walked quickly through the courtyard ahead, and saw a woman in a moon-white dress by the lake.
Recently, she seems to be very busy. Although she was relegated from the Huaxia Army's diplomatic department to propaganda, but on the eve of the opening of the first congress, Yu Hezhong also inquired that she would be the future Huaxia Army's propaganda department. will be one of the key managers.But despite being busy, her energy and complexion in the recent period seem to be getting younger and fuller in He Zhong.
The reason is not difficult to guess, since the period after the first meeting, I have really become more and more interested in her.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Perhaps she was unwilling to admit such an idea more than ten years ago, but now, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
After greeting each other, Yu Hezhong suppressed the throbbing in his heart, sat down solemnly on the chair in front of Shishi, and thought for a while.
"Recently, the situation in the city is very tense. What do you guys think?"
He opened his mouth by questioning, showing concern for this side, Shi Shi was really not annoyed, and tilted his head with a smile.
"What's the situation?"
"The matter has come to this, and there is nothing to hide...Maybe Shishi, you are concerned about writing things recently. Before the end of the month, there will be chaos in the city, do you know?"
"Where did Brother Yu hear the rumor?"
"I deal with... General Liu and the others all day. I can always hear what I should hear. Teacher, Yan Daolun wants to facilitate business with the Huaxia Army. This is one thing, but which side are they in their hearts? , It's another matter. I don't know... what Liheng thinks, this time, so many people of all kinds of religions and nine streams were put in Chengdu, and a group of students were helping to fuel the flames. Sooner or later, there will be trouble..."
"It's not that there is no control. Anyone who commits crimes will still be arrested." Shi Shi smiled and argued, "Also, Li Heng often said that if you want to do business, you have to take risks. If they don't come in, everyone will There is no chance to get to know each other. In Chengdu today, we want the Huaxia Army to have a chance to say hello to the people in the world, otherwise, wouldn’t they all be speculating in private about what the Huaxia Army is like?"
"But today it's opening the door to steal! There are too many!" Yu Hezhong knocked on the table and lowered his voice: "They want to assassinate Liheng, do you know that?"
"Liheng has been murdered enough over the years."
"But this time is different from others. This time there are many Confucian scholars instigating. Hundreds of people will come to do this together. You don't know who they are, and they will talk about this in private. In the past few days , there are six or seven people who have discussed this matter with me, if you don't restrain yourself..."
"They were just talking, they shouldn't have said they would do something, and we can't restrain them. After all, Liheng said it, so we have to say hello..."
"However, all the three religions and nine streams below will be incited! Those traders, bodyguards, and green forest people who have entered the city have only once in their lives been famous. . . . that powder keg that holds the gunpowder, once it catches fire, bang—it will explode!"
Shi Shi thought for a while: "...I think Li Heng should have been prepared for a long time."
"He wasn't prepared enough! He shouldn't have opened the door in the first place!" Yu Hezhong was agitated for a moment, and then he finally calmed down: "Forget it, Shishi, the people you usually deal with are different from the people I deal with, so, What I see and hear may be different. I have seen all kinds of things outside these years. These people...maybe not enough to succeed, but there is always more than enough to fail. They...maybe powerless when facing the Jurchens, that is because of the Jurchens Not my race, daring to fight and kill, the Huaxia Army is too gentle. Next, as long as there is a slight flaw, they may rush forward. Li Heng was assassinated by several or dozens of people back then, and he was still able to stop him, but this If hundreds of thousands of people flock to the city, it will always be bad. You... don’t you want to say hello like this?"
Shishi nodded: "This matter... I believe that there will be preparations here. After all, I am not in the position, and I know less about fighting and killing. However, if Brother Yu can have a systematic idea , For example, how to look at this matter, how to deal with it, who to beware of... Why don't you go to see Li Heng and talk to him? As a younger sister, I can make some arrangements for this matter."
Yu Hezhong was slightly taken aback, he pondered for a moment in his mind, this time he heard the raging public opinion outside, he became nervous, he felt that he had a chance to talk to Shi Shi, so he came here just now, but to talk about it so clearly After all, there is no clue at all to control the details.A group of scholars can talk vividly when chatting, but when it comes to specifics, we should beware of who will arrest whom, who can talk nonsense, who dares to talk nonsense?
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Hezhong sighed: "I mainly want to remind you, let's forget about seeing Liheng. You know, he's very thoughtful, and in the past... he didn't talk much. Sentence... I just want to remind you that you also have to be careful and pay attention to safety..."
As he said this, he leaned forward, his hands moved forward naturally, and wanted to hold Shishi's hand on the table, but Shishi retracted his hand, stroked the hair around his ears, and looked at the lake beside him, It seems that he didn't see his overly obvious movements.
"I live here, and I won't run out. The safety is the same as everyone else, so don't worry."
Yu Hezhong was originally passionate, and he made up his mind when he reached out his hand. If he held his hand, he would say something along the way.But Shi Shi's evasion was too obvious, it seemed as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his forehead suddenly.He thought about it chaotically, and sighed pretending to be calm: "You also know that those rumors outside all say that you are already someone from Liheng..."
"He Zhong, what if that wasn't a rumor?"
Shishi looked over with a smile in his eyes, Yu Hezhong was taken aback for a moment, and then finally withdrew his hand: "... Hey, what time is it, you still like to joke so much. If it is true, there will naturally be many people protecting you, But if not, this rumor will harm you..."
He leaned back in his chair, and then said: "Anyway, I'm also a little anxious, and that's all I should tell you. Alas, it's not easy for the Huaxia Army to get to this point. Don't look at Yan Daolun and the others when they face you. In a friendly manner, they turned their heads away. They also pointed out that the Huaxia Army had done more things. If someone really assassinated Li Heng before August, when the Huaxia Army fell apart, their benefits would not be less. Although I am stupid , but I also know that it is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world..."
"Now is not the time to sit in the world."
"It's almost the same." Yu Hezhong stood up, "Okay, I'll go first, I guess you have a lot of things to do, in short... I hope you are doing well, and I also hope that this business can be successful... Let's talk next time."
"I'll send it to you."
Shi Shi got up to send him out, Yu Hezhong became more and more irritable, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he turned around and blocked Shi Shi: "It's fine here, you...it's not safe outside, and you're busy too, don't go out... "
Shi Shi smiled resignedly and brightly, and bowed slightly: "Okay, then see you next time."
"See you next time..."
Yu Hezhong waved his hands and left here pretending to be calm along the way, feeling depressed, gloomy and fluctuating.Shi Shi's words "if it wasn't a rumor" seemed to be warning him and reminding him, but after thinking about it, Shi Shi had some weird temperament more than ten years ago.
Is she with Ning Yi, or not?After thinking about this question all the way, I couldn't help thinking of the embarrassment when I stretched out my hand and was avoided. I just felt that my little thoughts had been completely exposed in front of the other party-it didn't matter if it was exposed, but it was sad to be rejected. Now, many problems will be slapped on my face like a slap in the face: I have a wife and children, and I can become the most important middleman in the Southwest transaction this time because of her care for me... …
This kind of cognition made his mind a little dizzy, and he felt that his face was gone.But after walking for a while, recalling the past, hope was born in my heart again. I remember that when we met for the first time a few days ago, she also said that she did not marry herself. to deny oneself...
That's right, it's really not surprising that it's hard to win her favor in my current situation.According to what I thought before, I just hoped to take advantage of this opportunity in the Southwest to save some benefits and the capital to speak, so that I could be worthy of her. I really lost my head today...Since the teacher did not refuse, With her exquisite heart, her own thoughts have been exposed. This is certainly a bit uncomfortable, but when you think about it carefully, it's not a big bad thing?
He thought about this and that in his mind, and when his thoughts gradually calmed down and a dead pig was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, he thought of the main reason for coming this time in the peaceful atmosphere near Yingbin Road.Countless people from outside are waiting to make trouble, and Yan Daolun and the others will be happy to see the result, but they are still taking it lightly, probably because of their confidence after defeating the Jurchen.
He hoped that this transaction would be successful and that the Huaxia Army would have a smooth transition, but thinking about this right now, he was vaguely expecting something bad to happen.When there is chaos here, Shi Shi will understand his painstaking efforts, and the path of the Huaxia Army will be more secure, and if chaos really breaks out, Shi Shi will tell Ning about his warning today. Yi, when the time comes to meet with the other party by himself, many things will be easier to say.
As the sun set, he walked through the bustling streets of Chengdu, seeing scholars and warriors, all of whom looked like righteous men waiting to fight.Every look of people seems to be telling something in private, plotting to connect.
When something happens, let it happen...
he thinks.
……
"...The Huaxia Army is prepared."
In the afternoon, the warm wind blew across the water surface of the river, and the fragrance of tea lingered in the painting boat.
This seems to be an ordinary gathering. Guan Shanhai, Lang Guoxing, Mu Wenchang... and several people gathered at Yang Tiehuai's convening meeting, so they chose the painting boat on the river.
Yang Tiehuai, known as Duke Huai, had his head broken while arguing with others on the street before. At this time, his forehead was still tied with a bandage. While pouring tea, he spoke calmly:
"The Huaxia Army is prepared." He said, "As we all know, the situation in the city is loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Many Zhuji personnel have already entered the city, and even broke into the so-called 'righteous men' in the market. Many People will be arrested as soon as they make a move. There was a fight in Anqingfang yesterday, and two people died. They were both foreign assassins. There was also one time on the Yingbin Road. Very skillful, I am afraid that small troubles may not be effective... please tea."
Everyone served tea, and Guan Shanhai said, "Since we know that the Huaxia Army is on guard, Duke Huai still called us old fellows to come over? If there are one or two 'comrades' from the Huaxia Army among us, we will be arrested as soon as we get off the boat. manage?"
"The Huaxia Army is the hero who defeated the Jurchens. I waited for the gathering today, just to worry about the situation in the city. What is the crime?" Yang Tiehuai's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes swept over everyone. "The situation in Chengdu today is not the same as the green forest in the past. The assassination organized by people is different. Nowadays, there are many... bandits who have entered the city. Some of them have been targeted, and some have not. After all, it is a matter of guarding against thieves for a thousand days, if there is a group of opponents, they will arrange a group of people to watch."
"...their manpower is limited. If these bandits go up one after another, the Huaxia Army will catch them one by one. But if dozens of people attack at the same time, the net laid by the Huaxia Army will inevitably be exhausted. So in the final analysis, this matter is a competition of people's hearts and strengths. On the one hand, it is to see how much strength the Huaxia Army has, and on the other hand... it is to see how many people don't like the Huaxia Army to live a good life... ..."
He picked up the teacup: "Strength is higher than people's hearts, and this net will be solid, but if people's hearts are bigger than strength, this net may be broken."
A group of old people nodded and drank tea. Among them, Mu Wenchang, who was in his 40s, looked around and said, "That is to say, we don't know whether these 'bandits' in the city will do anything today, but maybe people are not on the same page. Some people want to move, some don't want to, some people can risk their lives, some people want to wait and see... But if you wait and see too much, the human heart will not compare to the strength."
"If I were a bandit, I would definitely hope that there would be fewer onlookers when I do something." Yang Tiehuai nodded.
"The strength of the Huaxia Army is there now, but the hearts of the people in the world today are fluctuating. Because of the strength of the Huaxia Army, those people in the city say that it is impossible to gather righteousness. Whether they can break that strength depends on it." What matters is how many people do it...Speaking of it, this really wants to be the one that Ning Yi often uses...Yangmou." Someone said so.
Yang Tiehuai smiled: "Drinking tea today is purely to talk about the situation in the city. I know that many of you here have brought people with you. It is not easy for the Huaxia Army to manage this situation. If something happens next, they will inevitably Get mad, everyone, you have to restrain the people under your command, and don't make them do things that make relatives and enemies happy... Well, it's just a chat, what else do you have to say, feel free to speak out , everyone is worrying about the Huaxia Army."
He smiled and waved.
"...please tea."
The sun shines in from the window lattice of the painting boat, and there are many unknown corners inside the city, where similar gatherings and conversations are going on.It is always easy to say impassioned words, but it is not easy to do things, but when enough generous words are spoken, some things that are quietly brewing may explode.
When the scholar named Mu Wenchang left the boat, it was already evening. In this golden autumn evening, he would think of the shock and despair when he first witnessed the Huaxia Army formation more than ten years ago.
It was the second year of Wu Jianshuo, and becoming the chief aide of Yan Zhenguo, Qin Fenglu's economic strategy appeasement envoy, was the first high point of Mu Wenchang's life.The Wu Dynasty lost the Central Plains, and Yan Zhenguo had no choice but to take refuge in Jurchen and Mingzhe to protect themselves. When Lou Shi attacked the northwest, they were forced to participate in the battle to attack Yanzhou.
That autumn, he saw the brutality of the black flag for the first time. They flew the banner of China, but they attacked the Jurchens and Han people at the same time, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends.Some people thought that the Huaxia Army was powerful, but the battle lasted for several years, and in the end, the entire Northwest was slaughtered and reduced to white ground, and countless neutrals and those who had no choice were killed in the middle.
For so many people, they could have been wooed and persuaded. Even during the war, Mu Wenchang carefully revealed his willingness to join the Huaxia Army for a family background, but the Huaxia Army showed no mercy. They only accepted enlistment As a small soldier, he didn't seem to care about a senior staff like Mu Wenchang.
Originally, countless people in the Central Plains were willing to take refuge in the past, but the Huaxia Army only wanted to fight and could not tolerate any detours.
In April of the fourth year of Jianshuo, the Huaxia Army defeated Yan Zhenguo and the Zhejia allied forces at Shalangling, and beheaded Yan Shuai and many Zhejia children. In the following three years, the Xiaocang River swallowed up millions of Han troops in the world... But so what?Didn't he escape in the end?In the end, countless people who should not have died died.
Mu Wenchang fled south in embarrassment. His wife and children were crushed in that war. One of his daughters was even married to a Jurchen officer by him. The daughter died among a group of anti-gold rioters.
Fighting against gold requires fighting, but what he has learned all his life tells him that the world cannot be changed by fighting blindly. If he becomes as cruel as Jurchen, even if he wins the world, he will not be able to rule the world.
——The Huaxia Army must be wrong!
——The Huaxia Army must be wrong...
This time in Chengdu, we will clearly tell the world this truth.
He thought over and over again as he walked through the streets at dusk.
……
At the same moment, the strong man named Shi Yuanmeng would think of the gunshot and the chaos in the Golden Temple more than ten years ago.
"Oh, Zhou Zhe..."
That faint sigh was a voice he would never forget in his life, and what happened after that was a scene he could never let go of.
How can there be such a person?
It was the first time to besiege Bianliang after defeating Jurchen, and then he dealt with the meritorious reward after the traitor Qin Yuyuan. Relying on his family relationship, he followed Tan Zhen's path and met the saint for the first time in his life.For that face-to-face, he worshiped all the ancestors in his family, even fasted for three days, burned incense and bathed, and treated that face-to-face as the most glorious moment in his life.
In order to play the right role in the Golden Palace—although it is impossible to have any dialogue with him—he will not lose his manners. He has been training in etiquette at home for most of the day. .After the face saint, the banquet for the guests has already been arranged.
Who knew that when the seven of them entered the Golden Hall, it was supposed to be the seven most humble people in the hall, the son-in-law of the merchant who couldn't even do the etiquette smoothly, after kneeling down, he stood up with a sigh.
He still can't comprehend the situation.He sighed and called His Majesty's name, and then there was a bang, everyone was still in a daze, he had already walked over, and slapped the face of the extremely high-ranking Prince Tong, who was dressed in a military horse, He has countless achievements in battle, and I don't know how many generals would be scared to fight in front of him, but at that moment, he flew up and smashed his head hard on the golden steps.
How can you walk in the Golden Temple?How can you beat Tong Wangye?How can you lift up His Majesty who is like a god, and smash it hard on the ground?
He never thought that there would be such a person without a king and father in the world, or that there would be such a rebellious act in the world.It's a pity that at that time, he couldn't react at all, and knelt by the door from the beginning to the end.
"A bunch of trash."
That person hit the emperor on the head with the back of a knife in front of the Golden Luan Hall, and said this contemptuous sentence to all the high-ranking ministers in the entire Golden Hall.Li Gang was yelling, Cai Jing was stupefied, Prince Tong was crawling in a pool of blood on the ground, Wang Fu, Qin Hui, Zhang Bangchang, Geng Nanzhong, Tan Zhen, Tang Ke, Yan Daozhang... Some officials even collapsed on the ground in fright...
It is strange to say that after experiencing that incident, Shi Yuanmeng just felt that there is no more strange thing in the world, and his response to many things became chaotic.After the fall of the Central Plains, he came to the south and stayed in the army. Later, he worked for some big families. Because of his vicious and neat methods, he was quite appreciated, and later he also had some reliable confidantes.
Now that the southwest gate is open this time, he will come over and do something that also shocked the whole world.
He will think of the scene when Ning Yi walked past him that day. The phrase "a bunch of trash" he said that day probably didn't even include the few people kneeling at the door... Today he will do the same The matter came to warn the whole world who have no king and no father, who are rebellious and immoral, their lives will also be taken by loyal ministers and righteous men!
"Brother, things are ready."
The brother who was working in the yard leaned over and said these words to him.
Shi Yuan turned his head and saw that the two barrels in the yard had been arranged, so he went to check again.
"Do you know?" He said, "Ning Yi kept talking about the study of things, and this study of things is not his thing at all... He colluded with the traitor, and after defeating Liangshan with the power of the Xiangfu, , captured a man of integrity, Mr. Gongsun who is known as the 'Ruyunlong' Gongsun Sheng. This Mr. Gongsun is proficient in the art of thunder and fire. Ning Yi is the one who took his prescription and detained him. These Years before the gunpowder technique can be developed to such a degree."
Shi Yuan looked at the people in the yard fiercely: "This devil, greedy for his own merits, has committed great rebellion and evil deeds. He was able to defeat the Jurchens only by relying on these firearms. Today, he is hiding in the In the southwest, take advantage of the Jurchen army to defeat everyone, and then use these firearms to defeat the opponent... I will not sit back and watch this kind of thing. Let's kill Ning Yi this time, and someone will rescue Mr. Gongsun from the southwest. The technique spreads widely throughout the world, defeating Jurchen is no problem. My Wu Dynasty will last forever! We people have truly saved the entire world!"
The evening sun was engulfed by the horizon like a fireball, and someone cupped their hands: "Follow Big Brother to the death."
"For the sake of the world, I swear to follow Big Brother to the death!"
The city is burning red, and there are countless movements and movements making such and such sounds under the sea of flames.
That night, in Wen Shoubin's courtyard, Ning Ji heard the other party's heroic prophecy that "things will happen in these two days" again and again.
The next day, at the martial arts competition, Huang Shan came over and said to him: "In the past few days, it has been said that there will be accidents outside, so you Huaxia Army should not be more careful?" Worrying, Ning Ji no longer has expectations for their ability to act, and replied with a paralyzed face: "If you want to make trouble, make trouble."
"Hey, just kidding, kidding, it's not about us, we didn't intend to cause trouble, look, my brother and I participated in the competition, didn't we... I'm just worried, the situation is chaotic, and this martial arts competition will not be held Is it, your Huaxia Army has to watch this matter..."
"The first division went to Lao Niutou to quell the chaos. The rest of the divisions have already reduced their staff. These days, they are arranging prisoners and guarding the entire Sichuan Fourth Road. There are only so many people in Chengdu. But there is nothing to be afraid of. They were also repelled by us, what can happen to a bunch of native chickens and dogs from outside."
"That's, that's... Brother Long is right, after all the Jurchens have been defeated..."
"Don't make trouble, or I will kill you..." Ning Ji glanced at him.
Huang Shan smiled honestly: "How can we? We really plan to make a name for ourselves in the martial arts tournament."
The two acted with each other, but even though they understood that the strong man was acting, Ning Ji had waited too long for something to happen, and almost had no expectations for what would actually happen.Wen Shoubin was like this. At first he impassionedly said that he would do something bad, and then he made a head start. His "daughter" gave away two, and then attended the banquet all day long. Things have also begun to "slowly map".
The latest incident in the city is likely to be like this. A group of people spoke impassioned words. In the end, no one dared to do anything, and it became a joke... It’s a pity that it’s not in Zhangcun right now, otherwise he would be with a group of friends. Laughing so hard... Well, anyway, school will start after September, so I'll just tell them what I've seen and heard here.
……
On the small hill next to the village near Zhang Village, the night gradually deepened.After a while, the brilliance of the stars and the moon sprinkled down from the sky, the forest was rustling, and only the footsteps of nocturnal animals could be heard occasionally.
The six knights formed a circle, talking in low voices.
"I don't know what's going on in Chengdu..."
"There are so many people who say they are going to do something big, what if no one does it?"
"The Huaxia Army is powerful. If it falls into their hands, there will be no good end..."
"What if we're the only ones doing it and no one else is doing it?"
"Not so much..."
"We just need to cause chaos and mobilize the nearby Huaxia Army..."
"The brothers said, do it, or not?"
"I listen to everyone..."
The few people who were determined at first turned into nonsense, and You Hongzhuo, who was hiding in the darkness not far away, sighed helplessly.At this moment, there was a "swoosh" sound in the distant night sky, and fireworks flashed across the air, and then there seemed to be the sound of fighting.
"Someone started..."
"Don't think too much, let's do it too."
"Third and fourth, take the torch and prepare to go to the left to light the fire..."
"Burning the rice?"
"The rice is not fully ripe, it can't be burned now..."
"Burn the house, the small village on the left, when the house burns, the most people will be disturbed, and then you can figure it out..."
"It's night and people are in the house."
"If you want to achieve a big event, you can tolerate such a mother-in-law. If you don't let the people of the Huaxia Army hurt, how can they come out! If the rice can be lit, you can go to light the rice..."
"When the fire is lit, you guys leave immediately. How many people does the Huaxia Army need to lay out a net in the wild? Then everyone will play by ear and create chaos again. If the Huaxia Army goes to arrest you, we will go elsewhere Set fire to kill..."
In the darkness, You Hongzhuo frowned slightly.
The third and the fourth went down all the way with the tied torches, and You Hongzhuo followed behind.From the previous conversation, he could see that the two were hesitant. It was one thing to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but another to burn the fields and houses of the common people.
When the two went to the edge of the village, they hesitated after all.
Someone said: "This is not good."
"Then what else can you do? You go back and say you don't want to do it?"
"I……"
They were silent for a while at the edge of the village, and finally, they moved towards the back of a house. The person who had said that he could not accumulate virtue took out a fire bag and blew it a few times, and the flames lit up in the darkness.
They lit the torches.
You Hongzhuo, who was behind the two of them, sighed.
Slash the knife.
……
July twenty.Chengdu.
Not long after night fell, Ning Ji heard a loud explosion coming from the city, and many people heard the noise.
That chaotic night began...
It can’t be done without foreshadowing. After a long time of foreshadowing and anxiety, I can only post a big chapter... more than 1 words.
(End of this chapter)
"...Girl, may I ask, how can I get to Zhang Village?"
Under the sunshine of early autumn, the wind blew through the sea of rice in the field. A knight dressed as a scholar stopped a dark-skinned village girl carrying water on the ridge of the field and asked.The village girl sized him up.
"Go to the other side of the main road, and you will arrive in half a day... Why are so many people going to Zhangcun recently, what are you doing in Zhangcun?"
"A lot of people have been to Zhangcun recently?"
"A lot, someone asked me yesterday."
"Oh, I don't know what they are going to do." The scholar was thoughtful, and then smiled, "I am a scholar from Huzhou, and I heard that the Huaxia Army has conquered the world, so I came to Zhang Village to seek fame."
"Huzhou persimmon? You are a person, where is a persimmon?"
"Oh...Scholar, scholar, I mean scholar. Thank you, Miss, for showing me the way. Is that the way?"
"Well, on the main road, go south and go straight. Scholars, you should have said it earlier." The dark-skinned girl looked him up again.
"Thank you, thank you. Thank you, Miss, for showing me the way."
At the end of the conversation, the scholar saluted, watched the black girl pick up water and walked towards the village not far away, then walked towards the other side.His five brothers were waiting by the small river beach not far away. The scholar went over and confirmed with them that they were in the right direction.
"There are a lot of people going to Zhang Village recently, so I'm afraid it will attract attention?" Someone worried.
"If they are all martial arts practitioners, I am afraid they will not let them go. However, it is true that the Huaxia Army defeated the Jurchen. I think there are many people who have gone to join them recently. Let's wait until we get mixed in with these people... The more people there are, the more Huaxia people will be. The more troops the army has to prepare, we can make him exhausted if we go to raise a whistle and set off a fire..."
"That's right."
"Since we are already close to Zhang Village, it is not easy to take the main road. According to my younger brother, we should just go along this main road from a distance. If my younger brother's calculation is correct, there must be more checkpoints on the main road."
"That's settled then."
Several people made a plan, and some people laughed again.
"Speaking of which, that girl just now looks pretty good."
"...Hei is a little darker, but it is strong and strong, and it can be fertile at first glance."
"My brothers don't know, but from a close look, they actually look quite handsome. We just said that we are scholars, but she looked me up several times. That look... You know, these people in the village think about it all day long. Just being able to match a scholar, that's how it's sung in dramas..."
"Don't tell me, fifth younger brother pretends to be a scholar, it's really amazing, just that girl just now, we want to come to propose marriage, it will be done!"
……
The wanton words spread into You Hongzhuo's ears far away with the autumn wind, and he smiled slightly.
The dialogue of the six people in front made him feel a little nostalgic.
He killed someone from that small mountain village before, and later met six brothers and sisters, and only after they became sworn brothers did they start wandering all the way.Although not long after, due to the betrayal of his fourth brother Kuang Wenbai, the group fell apart and he was hunted down because of this, but in retrospect, he was lonely and helpless when he first entered the rivers and lakes, and then the rivers and lakes gradually became complicated and heavy. During the time he spent with his brothers and sisters, the rivers and lakes appeared pure and interesting in front of his eyes.
At that time, the rivers and lakes he saw every day were new, and the rumors he heard were all very refreshing. The seven people helped each other and didn't have to sleep tremblingly-even though it was an illusion, but such warmth and stability, later. Never again.
Fighting all the way in the past few years, I have met many like-minded people who have contributed to the resistance against Jurchen and Liao Yiren. I have actually seen many people who can be trusted and trusted, but as far as he is concerned, there is no longer sworn worship mood again.Thinking about it now, it was also my own bad luck. The road when I entered the rivers and lakes was too cruel.
These warriors living in the south are more or less naive and disorganized.
He followed the six people all the way far.The Chengdu Plain has a wide field of vision. Fortunately, these people took the main road in the first half of the journey, but in the second half of the journey, these six people had ulterior motives and left the avenue to find woods and trails to detour, which provided conditions for You Hongzhuo to follow.
Along the way, You Hongzhuo thought about who should help and who is a good person in his heart.The six people in front of him made him feel more or less kind. On the whole, these six people really made up their minds to do what they thought was right.But on the other hand, the closer to the core area managed by the Huaxia Army, the more refreshing the surrounding scene is. The land here is fertile, the paddy fields stretch, the roads are solid, and the villages are well-organized. Many places can clearly see the newly reclaimed land. Mark of.
Since the time when her daughter-in-law went to the Tiger King many years ago, she has been developing agriculture and commerce, and painstakingly cultivated farmland in various places.Especially in the context of the Jurchens going south, she has been struggling to support the whole situation. Some places were burned by the Jurchens and destroyed by the villains headed by Liao Yiren, but the female minister has been doing her best to repeat the construction.You Hongzhuo has been helping in the women's camp for several years, and he has become more and more clear about these moving deeds.
During the more than ten years of turmoil in the Central Plains, the whole world was broken and smashed to pieces, but only Jindi, which was originally difficult to survive, survived a not-so-weak livelihood.You Hongzhuo has seen many places where there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles and bones are exposed in the wild.This is the achievement and pride of being a native of Jindi.But compared with the scene in the southwest, such achievements seem to be nothing.
For so many years, the Chengdu Plain has never experienced a major war.Did such a scene exist before, or was it built after the arrival of the Huaxia Army?
As he walked, he calculated these problems in his mind.
On the other hand, he recalled his overall feeling during the recent period. Except for the six knights in front of him, there were indeed quite a few people who wanted to make trouble when they went to Chengdu recently. No less.The strength of the Huaxia Army was stretched after defeating the Jurchens. If so many people were scattered and wanted to cause trouble of one kind or another, how would the Huaxia Army deal with it?
When they were in Jindi, they also encountered such a situation.The enemy is not only the Jurchens, but also Liao Yiren, who has taken refuge in the Jurchens. He also offered high rewards to incite such and such desperadoes to take the heads of female faces. As a woman who is used to being the prime minister, she listened to all kinds of bewitching words and wanted to kill her.
As the guard of the female minister, the dragon king followed the female minister to protect her, and You Hongzhuo and others spontaneously acted as defenders in the green forest.During this period, there were actually some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and of course there were more tragic fights one after another.
What should the Huaxia Army do?Judging from the situation this time, so many "men of justice" stood opposite them.With so many enemies, if the chaos reaches the level of Jindi...
As the sun was setting, You Hongzhuo was thinking about these things while following the six people in front of him into the sparse woodland around Zhang Village...
……
July [-]th, Chengdu, the sun is still shining brightly on the city.
Crowds are bustling, merchants are coming and going, all kinds of people in the city are going their own way, and the quarrels among the great Confucians in the newspapers are becoming increasingly fierce. There are indeed several chapters that have been actively discussed, even after many years. Leave your name on the record.
The scholars who were determined to seek fame and fame in the Huaxia Army gradually grasped some rules for the several subjects required for the school examination.In addition to studying and studying every day, even some private evening schools and study classes have been opened in corners of the city. The scholars who first found these places seemed to have found shortcuts. People took tutoring and discussions, and gradually opened up. opened the door to a new world.
The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament began to stir up a lively atmosphere in the city.The preliminary competition of this selection contest will officially end in August, and in the last ten days of July, there are already seven or eighty eight players who may emerge in the competition.Based on this background, Zhu Ji compiled a list of warriors who have already qualified for the shortlist after two victories.
Since gambling is not allowed by the government, and it is inconvenient to make too subjective rankings, two underground casinos joined forces with some authoritative experts in private to compile a list of the top [-] warriors temporarily appearing in Chengdu.The two lists vividly count the life stories and martial arts of each martial artist, and the odds of future martial arts competitions will also fluctuate because of this—with gambling and stories, the curiosity and enthusiasm of the people in the city for this martial arts competition, It began to gradually increase.
All the scenes showed a sense of prosperity, and even the previous fierce attack on the Huaxia Army became somewhat restrained after July and a half.But inside the undercurrent of the city, tension is constantly piling up, waiting for something to erupt.
After receiving the notice that Shishi was free, Yu Hezhong followed the female soldier Xiaoling, walked quickly through the courtyard ahead, and saw a woman in a moon-white dress by the lake.
Recently, she seems to be very busy. Although she was relegated from the Huaxia Army's diplomatic department to propaganda, but on the eve of the opening of the first congress, Yu Hezhong also inquired that she would be the future Huaxia Army's propaganda department. will be one of the key managers.But despite being busy, her energy and complexion in the recent period seem to be getting younger and fuller in He Zhong.
The reason is not difficult to guess, since the period after the first meeting, I have really become more and more interested in her.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Perhaps she was unwilling to admit such an idea more than ten years ago, but now, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
After greeting each other, Yu Hezhong suppressed the throbbing in his heart, sat down solemnly on the chair in front of Shishi, and thought for a while.
"Recently, the situation in the city is very tense. What do you guys think?"
He opened his mouth by questioning, showing concern for this side, Shi Shi was really not annoyed, and tilted his head with a smile.
"What's the situation?"
"The matter has come to this, and there is nothing to hide...Maybe Shishi, you are concerned about writing things recently. Before the end of the month, there will be chaos in the city, do you know?"
"Where did Brother Yu hear the rumor?"
"I deal with... General Liu and the others all day. I can always hear what I should hear. Teacher, Yan Daolun wants to facilitate business with the Huaxia Army. This is one thing, but which side are they in their hearts? , It's another matter. I don't know... what Liheng thinks, this time, so many people of all kinds of religions and nine streams were put in Chengdu, and a group of students were helping to fuel the flames. Sooner or later, there will be trouble..."
"It's not that there is no control. Anyone who commits crimes will still be arrested." Shi Shi smiled and argued, "Also, Li Heng often said that if you want to do business, you have to take risks. If they don't come in, everyone will There is no chance to get to know each other. In Chengdu today, we want the Huaxia Army to have a chance to say hello to the people in the world, otherwise, wouldn’t they all be speculating in private about what the Huaxia Army is like?"
"But today it's opening the door to steal! There are too many!" Yu Hezhong knocked on the table and lowered his voice: "They want to assassinate Liheng, do you know that?"
"Liheng has been murdered enough over the years."
"But this time is different from others. This time there are many Confucian scholars instigating. Hundreds of people will come to do this together. You don't know who they are, and they will talk about this in private. In the past few days , there are six or seven people who have discussed this matter with me, if you don't restrain yourself..."
"They were just talking, they shouldn't have said they would do something, and we can't restrain them. After all, Liheng said it, so we have to say hello..."
"However, all the three religions and nine streams below will be incited! Those traders, bodyguards, and green forest people who have entered the city have only once in their lives been famous. . . . that powder keg that holds the gunpowder, once it catches fire, bang—it will explode!"
Shi Shi thought for a while: "...I think Li Heng should have been prepared for a long time."
"He wasn't prepared enough! He shouldn't have opened the door in the first place!" Yu Hezhong was agitated for a moment, and then he finally calmed down: "Forget it, Shishi, the people you usually deal with are different from the people I deal with, so, What I see and hear may be different. I have seen all kinds of things outside these years. These people...maybe not enough to succeed, but there is always more than enough to fail. They...maybe powerless when facing the Jurchens, that is because of the Jurchens Not my race, daring to fight and kill, the Huaxia Army is too gentle. Next, as long as there is a slight flaw, they may rush forward. Li Heng was assassinated by several or dozens of people back then, and he was still able to stop him, but this If hundreds of thousands of people flock to the city, it will always be bad. You... don’t you want to say hello like this?"
Shishi nodded: "This matter... I believe that there will be preparations here. After all, I am not in the position, and I know less about fighting and killing. However, if Brother Yu can have a systematic idea , For example, how to look at this matter, how to deal with it, who to beware of... Why don't you go to see Li Heng and talk to him? As a younger sister, I can make some arrangements for this matter."
Yu Hezhong was slightly taken aback, he pondered for a moment in his mind, this time he heard the raging public opinion outside, he became nervous, he felt that he had a chance to talk to Shi Shi, so he came here just now, but to talk about it so clearly After all, there is no clue at all to control the details.A group of scholars can talk vividly when chatting, but when it comes to specifics, we should beware of who will arrest whom, who can talk nonsense, who dares to talk nonsense?
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Hezhong sighed: "I mainly want to remind you, let's forget about seeing Liheng. You know, he's very thoughtful, and in the past... he didn't talk much. Sentence... I just want to remind you that you also have to be careful and pay attention to safety..."
As he said this, he leaned forward, his hands moved forward naturally, and wanted to hold Shishi's hand on the table, but Shishi retracted his hand, stroked the hair around his ears, and looked at the lake beside him, It seems that he didn't see his overly obvious movements.
"I live here, and I won't run out. The safety is the same as everyone else, so don't worry."
Yu Hezhong was originally passionate, and he made up his mind when he reached out his hand. If he held his hand, he would say something along the way.But Shi Shi's evasion was too obvious, it seemed as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his forehead suddenly.He thought about it chaotically, and sighed pretending to be calm: "You also know that those rumors outside all say that you are already someone from Liheng..."
"He Zhong, what if that wasn't a rumor?"
Shishi looked over with a smile in his eyes, Yu Hezhong was taken aback for a moment, and then finally withdrew his hand: "... Hey, what time is it, you still like to joke so much. If it is true, there will naturally be many people protecting you, But if not, this rumor will harm you..."
He leaned back in his chair, and then said: "Anyway, I'm also a little anxious, and that's all I should tell you. Alas, it's not easy for the Huaxia Army to get to this point. Don't look at Yan Daolun and the others when they face you. In a friendly manner, they turned their heads away. They also pointed out that the Huaxia Army had done more things. If someone really assassinated Li Heng before August, when the Huaxia Army fell apart, their benefits would not be less. Although I am stupid , but I also know that it is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world..."
"Now is not the time to sit in the world."
"It's almost the same." Yu Hezhong stood up, "Okay, I'll go first, I guess you have a lot of things to do, in short... I hope you are doing well, and I also hope that this business can be successful... Let's talk next time."
"I'll send it to you."
Shi Shi got up to send him out, Yu Hezhong became more and more irritable, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he turned around and blocked Shi Shi: "It's fine here, you...it's not safe outside, and you're busy too, don't go out... "
Shi Shi smiled resignedly and brightly, and bowed slightly: "Okay, then see you next time."
"See you next time..."
Yu Hezhong waved his hands and left here pretending to be calm along the way, feeling depressed, gloomy and fluctuating.Shi Shi's words "if it wasn't a rumor" seemed to be warning him and reminding him, but after thinking about it, Shi Shi had some weird temperament more than ten years ago.
Is she with Ning Yi, or not?After thinking about this question all the way, I couldn't help thinking of the embarrassment when I stretched out my hand and was avoided. I just felt that my little thoughts had been completely exposed in front of the other party-it didn't matter if it was exposed, but it was sad to be rejected. Now, many problems will be slapped on my face like a slap in the face: I have a wife and children, and I can become the most important middleman in the Southwest transaction this time because of her care for me... …
This kind of cognition made his mind a little dizzy, and he felt that his face was gone.But after walking for a while, recalling the past, hope was born in my heart again. I remember that when we met for the first time a few days ago, she also said that she did not marry herself. to deny oneself...
That's right, it's really not surprising that it's hard to win her favor in my current situation.According to what I thought before, I just hoped to take advantage of this opportunity in the Southwest to save some benefits and the capital to speak, so that I could be worthy of her. I really lost my head today...Since the teacher did not refuse, With her exquisite heart, her own thoughts have been exposed. This is certainly a bit uncomfortable, but when you think about it carefully, it's not a big bad thing?
He thought about this and that in his mind, and when his thoughts gradually calmed down and a dead pig was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, he thought of the main reason for coming this time in the peaceful atmosphere near Yingbin Road.Countless people from outside are waiting to make trouble, and Yan Daolun and the others will be happy to see the result, but they are still taking it lightly, probably because of their confidence after defeating the Jurchen.
He hoped that this transaction would be successful and that the Huaxia Army would have a smooth transition, but thinking about this right now, he was vaguely expecting something bad to happen.When there is chaos here, Shi Shi will understand his painstaking efforts, and the path of the Huaxia Army will be more secure, and if chaos really breaks out, Shi Shi will tell Ning about his warning today. Yi, when the time comes to meet with the other party by himself, many things will be easier to say.
As the sun set, he walked through the bustling streets of Chengdu, seeing scholars and warriors, all of whom looked like righteous men waiting to fight.Every look of people seems to be telling something in private, plotting to connect.
When something happens, let it happen...
he thinks.
……
"...The Huaxia Army is prepared."
In the afternoon, the warm wind blew across the water surface of the river, and the fragrance of tea lingered in the painting boat.
This seems to be an ordinary gathering. Guan Shanhai, Lang Guoxing, Mu Wenchang... and several people gathered at Yang Tiehuai's convening meeting, so they chose the painting boat on the river.
Yang Tiehuai, known as Duke Huai, had his head broken while arguing with others on the street before. At this time, his forehead was still tied with a bandage. While pouring tea, he spoke calmly:
"The Huaxia Army is prepared." He said, "As we all know, the situation in the city is loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Many Zhuji personnel have already entered the city, and even broke into the so-called 'righteous men' in the market. Many People will be arrested as soon as they make a move. There was a fight in Anqingfang yesterday, and two people died. They were both foreign assassins. There was also one time on the Yingbin Road. Very skillful, I am afraid that small troubles may not be effective... please tea."
Everyone served tea, and Guan Shanhai said, "Since we know that the Huaxia Army is on guard, Duke Huai still called us old fellows to come over? If there are one or two 'comrades' from the Huaxia Army among us, we will be arrested as soon as we get off the boat. manage?"
"The Huaxia Army is the hero who defeated the Jurchens. I waited for the gathering today, just to worry about the situation in the city. What is the crime?" Yang Tiehuai's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes swept over everyone. "The situation in Chengdu today is not the same as the green forest in the past. The assassination organized by people is different. Nowadays, there are many... bandits who have entered the city. Some of them have been targeted, and some have not. After all, it is a matter of guarding against thieves for a thousand days, if there is a group of opponents, they will arrange a group of people to watch."
"...their manpower is limited. If these bandits go up one after another, the Huaxia Army will catch them one by one. But if dozens of people attack at the same time, the net laid by the Huaxia Army will inevitably be exhausted. So in the final analysis, this matter is a competition of people's hearts and strengths. On the one hand, it is to see how much strength the Huaxia Army has, and on the other hand... it is to see how many people don't like the Huaxia Army to live a good life... ..."
He picked up the teacup: "Strength is higher than people's hearts, and this net will be solid, but if people's hearts are bigger than strength, this net may be broken."
A group of old people nodded and drank tea. Among them, Mu Wenchang, who was in his 40s, looked around and said, "That is to say, we don't know whether these 'bandits' in the city will do anything today, but maybe people are not on the same page. Some people want to move, some don't want to, some people can risk their lives, some people want to wait and see... But if you wait and see too much, the human heart will not compare to the strength."
"If I were a bandit, I would definitely hope that there would be fewer onlookers when I do something." Yang Tiehuai nodded.
"The strength of the Huaxia Army is there now, but the hearts of the people in the world today are fluctuating. Because of the strength of the Huaxia Army, those people in the city say that it is impossible to gather righteousness. Whether they can break that strength depends on it." What matters is how many people do it...Speaking of it, this really wants to be the one that Ning Yi often uses...Yangmou." Someone said so.
Yang Tiehuai smiled: "Drinking tea today is purely to talk about the situation in the city. I know that many of you here have brought people with you. It is not easy for the Huaxia Army to manage this situation. If something happens next, they will inevitably Get mad, everyone, you have to restrain the people under your command, and don't make them do things that make relatives and enemies happy... Well, it's just a chat, what else do you have to say, feel free to speak out , everyone is worrying about the Huaxia Army."
He smiled and waved.
"...please tea."
The sun shines in from the window lattice of the painting boat, and there are many unknown corners inside the city, where similar gatherings and conversations are going on.It is always easy to say impassioned words, but it is not easy to do things, but when enough generous words are spoken, some things that are quietly brewing may explode.
When the scholar named Mu Wenchang left the boat, it was already evening. In this golden autumn evening, he would think of the shock and despair when he first witnessed the Huaxia Army formation more than ten years ago.
It was the second year of Wu Jianshuo, and becoming the chief aide of Yan Zhenguo, Qin Fenglu's economic strategy appeasement envoy, was the first high point of Mu Wenchang's life.The Wu Dynasty lost the Central Plains, and Yan Zhenguo had no choice but to take refuge in Jurchen and Mingzhe to protect themselves. When Lou Shi attacked the northwest, they were forced to participate in the battle to attack Yanzhou.
That autumn, he saw the brutality of the black flag for the first time. They flew the banner of China, but they attacked the Jurchens and Han people at the same time, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends.Some people thought that the Huaxia Army was powerful, but the battle lasted for several years, and in the end, the entire Northwest was slaughtered and reduced to white ground, and countless neutrals and those who had no choice were killed in the middle.
For so many people, they could have been wooed and persuaded. Even during the war, Mu Wenchang carefully revealed his willingness to join the Huaxia Army for a family background, but the Huaxia Army showed no mercy. They only accepted enlistment As a small soldier, he didn't seem to care about a senior staff like Mu Wenchang.
Originally, countless people in the Central Plains were willing to take refuge in the past, but the Huaxia Army only wanted to fight and could not tolerate any detours.
In April of the fourth year of Jianshuo, the Huaxia Army defeated Yan Zhenguo and the Zhejia allied forces at Shalangling, and beheaded Yan Shuai and many Zhejia children. In the following three years, the Xiaocang River swallowed up millions of Han troops in the world... But so what?Didn't he escape in the end?In the end, countless people who should not have died died.
Mu Wenchang fled south in embarrassment. His wife and children were crushed in that war. One of his daughters was even married to a Jurchen officer by him. The daughter died among a group of anti-gold rioters.
Fighting against gold requires fighting, but what he has learned all his life tells him that the world cannot be changed by fighting blindly. If he becomes as cruel as Jurchen, even if he wins the world, he will not be able to rule the world.
——The Huaxia Army must be wrong!
——The Huaxia Army must be wrong...
This time in Chengdu, we will clearly tell the world this truth.
He thought over and over again as he walked through the streets at dusk.
……
At the same moment, the strong man named Shi Yuanmeng would think of the gunshot and the chaos in the Golden Temple more than ten years ago.
"Oh, Zhou Zhe..."
That faint sigh was a voice he would never forget in his life, and what happened after that was a scene he could never let go of.
How can there be such a person?
It was the first time to besiege Bianliang after defeating Jurchen, and then he dealt with the meritorious reward after the traitor Qin Yuyuan. Relying on his family relationship, he followed Tan Zhen's path and met the saint for the first time in his life.For that face-to-face, he worshiped all the ancestors in his family, even fasted for three days, burned incense and bathed, and treated that face-to-face as the most glorious moment in his life.
In order to play the right role in the Golden Palace—although it is impossible to have any dialogue with him—he will not lose his manners. He has been training in etiquette at home for most of the day. .After the face saint, the banquet for the guests has already been arranged.
Who knew that when the seven of them entered the Golden Hall, it was supposed to be the seven most humble people in the hall, the son-in-law of the merchant who couldn't even do the etiquette smoothly, after kneeling down, he stood up with a sigh.
He still can't comprehend the situation.He sighed and called His Majesty's name, and then there was a bang, everyone was still in a daze, he had already walked over, and slapped the face of the extremely high-ranking Prince Tong, who was dressed in a military horse, He has countless achievements in battle, and I don't know how many generals would be scared to fight in front of him, but at that moment, he flew up and smashed his head hard on the golden steps.
How can you walk in the Golden Temple?How can you beat Tong Wangye?How can you lift up His Majesty who is like a god, and smash it hard on the ground?
He never thought that there would be such a person without a king and father in the world, or that there would be such a rebellious act in the world.It's a pity that at that time, he couldn't react at all, and knelt by the door from the beginning to the end.
"A bunch of trash."
That person hit the emperor on the head with the back of a knife in front of the Golden Luan Hall, and said this contemptuous sentence to all the high-ranking ministers in the entire Golden Hall.Li Gang was yelling, Cai Jing was stupefied, Prince Tong was crawling in a pool of blood on the ground, Wang Fu, Qin Hui, Zhang Bangchang, Geng Nanzhong, Tan Zhen, Tang Ke, Yan Daozhang... Some officials even collapsed on the ground in fright...
It is strange to say that after experiencing that incident, Shi Yuanmeng just felt that there is no more strange thing in the world, and his response to many things became chaotic.After the fall of the Central Plains, he came to the south and stayed in the army. Later, he worked for some big families. Because of his vicious and neat methods, he was quite appreciated, and later he also had some reliable confidantes.
Now that the southwest gate is open this time, he will come over and do something that also shocked the whole world.
He will think of the scene when Ning Yi walked past him that day. The phrase "a bunch of trash" he said that day probably didn't even include the few people kneeling at the door... Today he will do the same The matter came to warn the whole world who have no king and no father, who are rebellious and immoral, their lives will also be taken by loyal ministers and righteous men!
"Brother, things are ready."
The brother who was working in the yard leaned over and said these words to him.
Shi Yuan turned his head and saw that the two barrels in the yard had been arranged, so he went to check again.
"Do you know?" He said, "Ning Yi kept talking about the study of things, and this study of things is not his thing at all... He colluded with the traitor, and after defeating Liangshan with the power of the Xiangfu, , captured a man of integrity, Mr. Gongsun who is known as the 'Ruyunlong' Gongsun Sheng. This Mr. Gongsun is proficient in the art of thunder and fire. Ning Yi is the one who took his prescription and detained him. These Years before the gunpowder technique can be developed to such a degree."
Shi Yuan looked at the people in the yard fiercely: "This devil, greedy for his own merits, has committed great rebellion and evil deeds. He was able to defeat the Jurchens only by relying on these firearms. Today, he is hiding in the In the southwest, take advantage of the Jurchen army to defeat everyone, and then use these firearms to defeat the opponent... I will not sit back and watch this kind of thing. Let's kill Ning Yi this time, and someone will rescue Mr. Gongsun from the southwest. The technique spreads widely throughout the world, defeating Jurchen is no problem. My Wu Dynasty will last forever! We people have truly saved the entire world!"
The evening sun was engulfed by the horizon like a fireball, and someone cupped their hands: "Follow Big Brother to the death."
"For the sake of the world, I swear to follow Big Brother to the death!"
The city is burning red, and there are countless movements and movements making such and such sounds under the sea of flames.
That night, in Wen Shoubin's courtyard, Ning Ji heard the other party's heroic prophecy that "things will happen in these two days" again and again.
The next day, at the martial arts competition, Huang Shan came over and said to him: "In the past few days, it has been said that there will be accidents outside, so you Huaxia Army should not be more careful?" Worrying, Ning Ji no longer has expectations for their ability to act, and replied with a paralyzed face: "If you want to make trouble, make trouble."
"Hey, just kidding, kidding, it's not about us, we didn't intend to cause trouble, look, my brother and I participated in the competition, didn't we... I'm just worried, the situation is chaotic, and this martial arts competition will not be held Is it, your Huaxia Army has to watch this matter..."
"The first division went to Lao Niutou to quell the chaos. The rest of the divisions have already reduced their staff. These days, they are arranging prisoners and guarding the entire Sichuan Fourth Road. There are only so many people in Chengdu. But there is nothing to be afraid of. They were also repelled by us, what can happen to a bunch of native chickens and dogs from outside."
"That's, that's... Brother Long is right, after all the Jurchens have been defeated..."
"Don't make trouble, or I will kill you..." Ning Ji glanced at him.
Huang Shan smiled honestly: "How can we? We really plan to make a name for ourselves in the martial arts tournament."
The two acted with each other, but even though they understood that the strong man was acting, Ning Ji had waited too long for something to happen, and almost had no expectations for what would actually happen.Wen Shoubin was like this. At first he impassionedly said that he would do something bad, and then he made a head start. His "daughter" gave away two, and then attended the banquet all day long. Things have also begun to "slowly map".
The latest incident in the city is likely to be like this. A group of people spoke impassioned words. In the end, no one dared to do anything, and it became a joke... It’s a pity that it’s not in Zhangcun right now, otherwise he would be with a group of friends. Laughing so hard... Well, anyway, school will start after September, so I'll just tell them what I've seen and heard here.
……
On the small hill next to the village near Zhang Village, the night gradually deepened.After a while, the brilliance of the stars and the moon sprinkled down from the sky, the forest was rustling, and only the footsteps of nocturnal animals could be heard occasionally.
The six knights formed a circle, talking in low voices.
"I don't know what's going on in Chengdu..."
"There are so many people who say they are going to do something big, what if no one does it?"
"The Huaxia Army is powerful. If it falls into their hands, there will be no good end..."
"What if we're the only ones doing it and no one else is doing it?"
"Not so much..."
"We just need to cause chaos and mobilize the nearby Huaxia Army..."
"The brothers said, do it, or not?"
"I listen to everyone..."
The few people who were determined at first turned into nonsense, and You Hongzhuo, who was hiding in the darkness not far away, sighed helplessly.At this moment, there was a "swoosh" sound in the distant night sky, and fireworks flashed across the air, and then there seemed to be the sound of fighting.
"Someone started..."
"Don't think too much, let's do it too."
"Third and fourth, take the torch and prepare to go to the left to light the fire..."
"Burning the rice?"
"The rice is not fully ripe, it can't be burned now..."
"Burn the house, the small village on the left, when the house burns, the most people will be disturbed, and then you can figure it out..."
"It's night and people are in the house."
"If you want to achieve a big event, you can tolerate such a mother-in-law. If you don't let the people of the Huaxia Army hurt, how can they come out! If the rice can be lit, you can go to light the rice..."
"When the fire is lit, you guys leave immediately. How many people does the Huaxia Army need to lay out a net in the wild? Then everyone will play by ear and create chaos again. If the Huaxia Army goes to arrest you, we will go elsewhere Set fire to kill..."
In the darkness, You Hongzhuo frowned slightly.
The third and the fourth went down all the way with the tied torches, and You Hongzhuo followed behind.From the previous conversation, he could see that the two were hesitant. It was one thing to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but another to burn the fields and houses of the common people.
When the two went to the edge of the village, they hesitated after all.
Someone said: "This is not good."
"Then what else can you do? You go back and say you don't want to do it?"
"I……"
They were silent for a while at the edge of the village, and finally, they moved towards the back of a house. The person who had said that he could not accumulate virtue took out a fire bag and blew it a few times, and the flames lit up in the darkness.
They lit the torches.
You Hongzhuo, who was behind the two of them, sighed.
Slash the knife.
……
July twenty.Chengdu.
Not long after night fell, Ning Ji heard a loud explosion coming from the city, and many people heard the noise.
That chaotic night began...
It can’t be done without foreshadowing. After a long time of foreshadowing and anxiety, I can only post a big chapter... more than 1 words.
