Chapter 1061 Message: Please take care of yourself
When the autumn sun is still shining golden and warm on the land in the southwest, the breath of winter in the Kingdom of Jin, thousands of miles away, has arrived ahead of schedule.

On the ninth day of August, in the clouds.

Lead-blue clouds enveloped the sky, and the north wind had already begun to blow on the ground. As one of the few big cities in the Golden Realm, the clouds seemed to be helplessly trapped in a gray quagmire. Looking around, the whole city seemed to be full of people. Contaminated with a gloomy atmosphere.

The chariots and horses entering and leaving the city seem to be a little less energetic than before, the hawking in the market sounds a little more lazy than in the past, and the words of the guests in restaurants and tea shops are a little more dignified, whispering to each other. It seems to be talking about something confidential and important.

In the muddy streets and alleys of the city, the walking Han slaves wrapped their clothes tightly and bowed their bodies. They lowered their heads and looked like they were afraid of being discovered, but they were not cockroaches after all, and they could not become unobtrusive short.Some people leaned against the corner to avoid the pedestrians in front of them, but they were still knocked to the ground, and then they might get kicked or suffered more severe beatings.

In such an atmosphere, the nobles in the city still maintained high spirits.High-pitched emotions tinged with violence would erupt in the city from time to time, causing bloody carnivals to occasionally appear in such depression.

In the small courtyard on the south side of the city, Xu Xiaolin saw Tang Minjie for the first time.

Xu Xiaolin is the courier from the southwest.

Southwest and Jinjing are separated by thousands of miles. During these years, the exchange of information is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, most of the various actions in the Northland are handled by the person in charge here. Only when certain important nodes are encountered, the two sides Only once will there be a communication to facilitate Southwest to make adjustments to the general course of action.

The results of the entire southwest battle were reported to Yunzhong in mid-May, and Lu Mingfang set off south to report the progress of the entire work in the southwest and provide Ning Yi with more references for the next step of development.He died in late May.

At almost the same moment, Southwest had already made further speculations about the development of the situation in the Kingdom of Jin. Ning Yi and others did not know the news of Lu Mingfang's departure at this time. Considering that even if he did not go south, the actions of the Kingdom of Jin would need to Changing and understanding, Xu Xiaolin, who had some experience in living in the Kingdom of Jin, was sent to the north soon after.

After Xu Xiaolin arrived in the Kingdom of Jin, it was almost the end of July, and the process of joining was cautious and complicated. It was only later that he learned that the person in charge of the operation of the Kingdom of Jin had died—because the Jurchen publicized it as a meritorious service.

Although the Huaxia Army had considered the action plan after the death of the main person in charge before this, it would take a lot of time to run this plan in enemy territory.The main reason is that on the premise of being cautious, more steps are required to verify link by link, connect with each other, and re-establish trust.

Because of this, even though Xu Xiaolin probably sent the news of his arrival at the end of July, the first contact was still several days later, and he himself remained vigilant and made two attempts.In this way, it was on the ninth day of the eighth month that he was led here to formally meet the person in charge who took over after Lu Mingfang.

The person in charge code-named "Joker" looked thin and his cheeks looked a little sunken. This was a trusted comrade who was secretly reminded by the highest level before he left, and he was trustworthy in a critical moment. In addition to two temptations, Xu Xiaolin finally built trust in him.The other party probably also watched him for several days. After the meeting, he moved a few piles of dry firewood in the yard, took out a small package and handed it to him. The package contained medicine for sores.

Before joining the Huaxia Army, Xu Xiaolin traveled with the caravan in the north for a while. He was quite tall and knew the language of Liaodong, so he was a good candidate for the summoning job.Unexpectedly, when he came to Yunzhong this time, the situation here was already tense. He had a few words with a Han slave on the street and used Chinese. Several Han slaves beat him together, and got a hit on the head, which is still bandaged.

"...From the news of the defeat of the Jin army in May, the entire Jin country has mostly become like this. Finding faults and beating people on the road is not a big deal. Some wealthy families began to kill Han people, and Jin Emperor Wu begged to buy regulations. However, killing Han people indiscriminately requires fines, and these big families openly killed Han people in their families. Some sons of the public officials competed with each other, and whoever paid the most fines was a hero. Last month, there were two princes fighting against each other. They killed two, and the other family added two more, and finally each family killed [-] people, and the government came forward to mediate before stopping."

Asking Xu Xiaolin to sit on the stool, Tang Minjie untied the bandage on his forehead and reapplied the medicine.During the process of applying the medicine, Xu Xiaolin could see the deep and calm eyes of the man in front of him when he heard the words: "Your injury is still healed. Those gangsters don't beat people to death because they are afraid of losing money, but there are also some people. They were severely injured on the spot and could not last for a few days, but the fines did not reach them."

Xu Xiaolin is a soldier who has experienced the Southwest War. At this time, he clenched his fist and looked at Tang Minjie: "Sooner or later, he will be back."

"Well." There was a slight smile in the other party's calm eyes. He poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and continued to talk, "There are more things here. The winter in the Kingdom of Jin came early, and now it is starting to cool down. In the past Every year, a group of Han people here will die, and this year is even more troublesome. The refugee camps outside the city are full of Han slaves who were captured in the past. In previous years, at this time, they would start cutting trees and collecting firewood, but the barren mountains and wild places outside the city, speaking of They all belong to the lord in the city, and now..."

He paused and took a sip of water: "...Now, it has become a custom for people to guard the wasteland and prevent Han slaves from chopping firewood and pulling weeds. In the past few days, people outside the city were said to be stealing firewood and were beaten to death every day. , There will definitely be more people who will freeze to death this winter. In addition, several venues have been opened privately in the city, and the places where cockfights and dogs used to be fought are now used to kill people."

"Isn't the golden dog arresting people for labor..." Xu Xiaolin said.

"When it comes to excitement, who can control so much." Tang Minjie smiled, "Speaking of this, it's not for other reasons. It can't be stopped, but someone needs to know what it's like here. Now in the cloud It's too messy, I plan to send you out of the city as much as possible in the next few days, and then I will slowly talk about the report... What are the instructions from the south?"

"Actually, the south side also has certain speculations about the situation here." Xu Xiaolin said, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve. There was not much writing on the paper. Tang Minjie took it. bill of lading.Xu Xiaolin said: "The information has been memorized, that's all."

"wait for me a while."

Tang Minjie got up and walked to the small room on the other side. Xu Xiaolin nodded and sat there drinking hot water.

Not long after, Tang Minjie came out of the room over there. The message on the manifest will be fewer words after deciphering it. In fact, since the whole order is not complicated and does not need to be over-secret, Xu Xiaolin basically knows Yes, I gave Tang Minjie this manifest just to prove his credibility.

"Nanmian has made certain speculations about the current situation of the Kingdom of Jin, so in order to ensure everyone's safety, it is recommended that all espionage work here go to sleep, and do not actively investigate or sabotage the news of the Jurchens. I hope you put yourselves first." Xu Xiaolin looked at Tang Minjie and said.

Tang Minjie's expression and eyes didn't reveal much emotion, he just nodded slowly: "But...the distance is too far, after all, Southwest doesn't know the specific situation here..."

Xu Xiaolin also nodded: "Generally speaking, the principle of independent action here will not be broken. How to adjust it is up to you to judge, but the general policy is to save the lives of most people. You are heroes, and you should live in the future. Those who return to the south to enjoy the blessings, all heroes who fight in this kind of place should have this qualification—this is what Mr. Ning said."

Tang Minjie was silent for a moment, then looked at Xu Xiaolin.

"By the way, how is Southwest? Can you tell me in detail? I know that we defeated Zong Han and Xi Yin, killed Zong Han's two sons, and don't know what happened next. "

He said this, with a little relaxed smile in his words, walked to the table and sat down.Xu Xiaolin also laughed: "Of course, I came out of Jiange in early June, so I only know the whole thing until then..."

He smiled and talked about the things that happened in the south from the end of the Southwest War to the beginning of June, including Ning Yi's message to the whole world, inviting guests and friends, including some reactions of the whole world to the Southwest War, including the plans that are already underway and will be For the military parade and congress that appeared, Tang Minjie asked a lot about the outline and process of the entire congress with interest.

The news of the congress in June has not yet been released to the public, but there is already a specific worksheet within the Huaxia Army, so Xu Xiaolin, who works inside, can tell a lot of truths, but every time Tang Minjie asks about some key points, He will also be questioned.Tang Minjie didn't bother too much, and when Xu Xiaolin couldn't explain clearly, he jumped to other places. For a few moments, Xu Xiaolin even felt that the person in charge of the Northland had a bit of Mr. Ning's shadow.

He asked the most about the congress. When it came to military parades, martial arts tournaments and other places where others might be more interested, Tang Minjie didn't have too many questions. He just nodded from time to time and occasionally expressed his views with a smile.

"...Well, call people in and make a big show. During the military parade, kill a group of named Jurchen captives, and after everyone disperses, the news should spread throughout the world..."

Xu Xiaolin thought for a while: "I didn't say anything about killing the Jurchen prisoners... Some people outside said that the captured Jurchen prisoners can be used to negotiate with the Kingdom of Jin. In the end, they all changed captives. Moreover, the captives in their hands may make these Jurchens use their hands to avoid them."

"Throwing a mouse?" Tang Minjie laughed, "You mean, if you don't kill those captives and raise them, the Jurchens might treat the Han people here better because they are afraid?"

Xu Xiaolin frowned in thought.I saw the person on the other side shaking his head and laughing: "The only way to get them to be wary is to kill a little more, kill a little more... and kill a little more..."

There was a moment of silence in the room. Tang Minjie got a glass of water, took a sip, and his tone became gentle: "Of course, aside from this, what I mainly think about is that although the door is open to welcome guests from all over the world, many of those who come outside are still the same. They won't like us, they are good at writing beautiful articles, and when they go back, they will still scold what they should scold and find various reasons... But there is only one thing they can't hide."

He said: "The world has been in war for more than ten years, and countless people died at the hands of the Jinren. Today, perhaps tens of millions of people have gone to Chengdu. They saw that only our Huaxia Army killed the Jinren, and we are dignified in front of everyone. Kill those who deserve to be killed. This matter cannot be covered up by all kinds of fallacies in the splendid article, no matter how much truth you write, people who read the article will think of their dead relatives..."

"Of course, these are just some of my thoughts. I'm not sure what will happen." Tang Minjie smiled, "Go on, go on..."

Xu Xiaolin then talked about a lot of things, including tragedies that happened in the Southwest, and of course more rare comedies. Whenever he talked about the news that some people survived and reunited with their families, he could see the skinny man in front of him. A smile appeared from the corner of his eye.

After a while, he suddenly remembered, and mentioned the mutiny incident that made the Chinese army indignant during that time, and talked about Zou Xu who colluded with the enemy near Funiu Mountain, occupied the mountain as king, and killed his comrades... …

The north wind whimpered outside the room, and the sky and the earth were gray. In this small room, Tang Minjie sat there quietly listening to the other party talk about many things. In his hands, the tea was warm of.He knew that in the far south, the efforts of countless people had caused the earth to bloom new shoots.

……

"...The Jurchens' East and West Army have already returned here. Even without our help, their two prefectures, the East and the West, will go to war in the future. Let them fight. Please pay attention to the orders from the south, and don't repeat them. Tim's fearless sacrifice. Our sacrifices, after all, are too many."

At the end of the day, Xu Xiaolin gave Tang Minjie another order.

Tang Minjie nodded.

"I know," he said. "Thank you."

　Thanks to the leader of the book friend "Xuanyuan Yingyue" for the reward, thank you for your support. ^_^
