son-in-law

Chapter 307 Winter

Although Fang Qifo wanted to see him, although Chen Fan had kindly notified him, since the imperial army started attacking the city again that afternoon, there was no further follow-up on the matter.

Tong Guan's attack on Hangzhou and Fang La's uprising are the biggest challenges for the newly established Yongle Dynasty.If you can pass, then everything will be settled, if you can't pass this hurdle, then everything is illusory.Fang Qifo and others are thinking about this, and they will suddenly mention themselves. Ning Yi feels a little surprised, but naturally it will not be a big deal.At such a critical point of time, if he felt that there was something wrong with his small shrimp, then he might not have a way out right now. He must have mentioned it in passing when he mentioned Liu Xigua, and Chen Fan had just written it down.

After the first ten days of October, the weather has become increasingly cold.Ning Yi's opinion is similar to Chen Fan's and Fang Qifo's. The city may not be captured for the time being, but Tong Guan must not give up. The several attacks organized before the snow fell were very violent.Twice, it was said that spies in the city responded, causing imperial soldiers to burst into the city suddenly, but the city wall was still recaptured afterwards.

In these two battles, the two vanguards that broke into the city were cut off. After the hard battle, there were almost no casualties. There were also a few soldiers who broke up and mixed into various places in the city, but most of them were picked out afterwards.The city of Hangzhou at this time is no better than it was four months ago. At that time, various residents, merchants, gentry, and officials in the city of Hangzhou still had the law. Mixed in the city, it really became a vast ocean of people's war. Soldiers searched unscrupulously, and residents were afraid of trouble. Once the soldiers who entered the city were caught, there would be no good end.

Ning Yi didn't know whether Wenrenbuer was involved in these things.Since Badaoying and Baodaoyi officially turned against each other, he has not had much contact with Wenren Buer. At that time, the small-scale conflicts and even vendettas between the two sides had become intense. Even if Ning Yi wanted to leave Xiliu Street, A group of people must follow to ensure safety.After entering the state of wartime, he seldom left Xiliu Street.

At this time, what Wen Renbuer was going to do, he could no longer participate in it, and it was not good to continue to participate. People like Fang Qifo and Wang Yin had already returned, and now he was just a master of the Badao Camp. After the rain has been done, it really becomes the way to death.At this time, Hangzhou is not a society ruled by law. People really start to be afraid of you, and you don't need evidence to kill someone.

Wenlie Academy is no longer officially holding classes at this time, but the teachers and students are still there, except for organizing a group of literati to discuss the details of capital operation and social operation he said, and to write articles that are far-fetched but require gorgeous literary talent. , for a group of students who are willing to come to class, he is also organizing various things.The most basic thing is to let these students go near the city wall to help treat the wounded, let them learn various basic treatment techniques, and also start to discuss various field marching, survival, setting traps, and even sowing and construction skills.

These students used to be from farming families, and when they were placed in the wild, most of them had the ability to survive and even kill people. After all, their elders were generals in the army, and some methods and skills that could be used on the battlefield or in the wild were taught privately.What Ning Yi did was to let them gather these skills and communicate with each other. He made records one by one. In the colder and colder weather, he also organized students to do simulation exercises again and again. For these For teenagers, these are quite interesting things.

Chen Fan and An Xifu would come here often. Although they had some differences when they attacked Bao Daoyi, they still had a good relationship in private.Regarding Ning Yi's training of these students, Chen Fan was a bit unhappy in some aspects: "You look like this, just think we can't keep Hangzhou."

"It's not impossible to keep it, but you have to prepare for the worst. Besides, even if you really keep it, it's just the beginning."

"It's pretty much the same, don't worry, with me here, the city won't be broken." Chen Fan often said this, but once he said after a while: "Hey, if the city is really broken, what are you going to do?"

"The lady has to find a way to send it back, let me talk about it..."

"...It makes sense."

Chen Fan patted Ning Yi's shoulder with a smile.

So every time he came over, he would teach these teenagers how to use knives and punches, not just to put on airs, but to let them fight with bare hands or with blunt instruments. With him watching, nothing would happen, but every time Every time, the academy was messed up like a field battlefield. A group of children were beaten with black noses and swollen faces, and they became tools for bandaging and training each other.

After the war, An Xifu no longer needs to manage the law and order in the city, and Hei Lingwei became a military judge on the city wall.Compared with Chen Fan's kindness, An Xifu has his usual indifference. This may be the emotion developed by often killing his own people. Coupled with his famous handsome face, he is always in a group of unmarried women or married women. All very welcome.He already vaguely knew what Badaoying was going to do from Chen Fan. It is said that the two had argued and quarreled several times.

An Xifu is pessimistic about what Badaoying is going to do to elect the ideal of building a Datong society, but she often comes to see it, and teaches a group of children how to survive in the wild and bandages to save their lives, and also talks about farming. thing.According to Chen Fan, this guy is a good farmer, and he works very hard when transplanting rice seedlings or harvesting rice.

"When I was young, my family was very good. My father was a pig butcher, and my mother was very beautiful. She was a beautiful woman known from all over the world. She was well-educated and well-educated." Once when everyone was sitting together eating hot pot, An Xifu roughly Talking about his own life experience, "Grandpa's family was originally a scholar, and he died early because of his poor health. He was regarded as a poor family. My father was rich, so he married my mother. Everyone said that a flower is stuck in cow dung, but My father is considered very good, with a good temper and a good temper. His family used to be poor, but he gradually got better. After he had me, he gave me this name, which means to cherish blessings."

"Later my mother was taken by the county magistrate, and my father was sued by the county government. My mother gave away almost all her belongings, and pawned the land to find a doctor. When my father died, he said that people should Now, although the family is defeated, it will still get up slowly. To be a man, we must cherish blessings and not act recklessly... But after my mother dies, there will be no blessings, and then... the county magistrate will die of course Yes, hehe..."

Maybe it's been a long time, when it comes to this kind of thing, he didn't have too much embellishment, he just said it plainly, his expression was a little indifferent, but when he finally laughed, there was a bit of warmth Feeling, forming an unspeakable contrast.Everyone had no choice but to laugh along with them. In fact, if it wasn't for extreme misery, who would be willing to fight with their lives? In today's Hangzhou City, it is not uncommon for people with this kind of past.

As winter comes, one of the best pastimes for everyone is naturally to gather together to eat hot pot and chat. Sometimes there will be a table in the study of the main house, and Liu Xigua also participates in it. Ning Yi, Liu Tiannan, Du Kill and wait for someone to accompany, and say a few words while eating.Gathering with Chen Fan and others will be much more lively, and people like Fang Shuchang will also come to participate.Naturally, he spends more time at home with his wife and Xiao Chan, and Lu Hongti is now one of them, sitting together playing backgammon and chatting.

Su Tan'er has been pregnant for more than four months. Although it is not to the point of hindering her walking, she usually only moves around the small courtyard.Ning Yi was afraid that she would be bored, so she asked her to occasionally help bind various articles, or sort out the field survival and medical materials collected among the children.After all, Su Tan'er is also a businessman. She is quite sensitive to the production relations and capital operation principles mixed in the article, and occasionally discusses a few words with Ning Yi.

However, as far as she is concerned, I am afraid that these principles are very simple. Her husband... wants to explain the way of business with the words of a sage. Could it be that she wants to become a big business like Tao Zhu and Fan Li, and also wants to explain the way of doing business? Spread in the world?Although no one has done this kind of thing before, it always feels a little weird.

After all, the way of business is not elegant. Although these principles can be used to explain the relationship between people, but... it is like collecting the foot wraps of 1 brothel girls. Although it is difficult to do, if someone goes to Doing it will only make people feel boring or even perverted.On the contrary, it was the means of surviving in the wild that made her feel very valuable.

After all, Su Tan'er is too familiar with business. She has a good understanding of the human heart, but she doesn't know how useful this kind of analysis of human nature is. After all, "isn't the thing obvious?"On the contrary, Lu Hongti, also as a copycat leader, is more sensitive to many things in the Badao camp, especially the seemingly boring elections before.

"What do you want to do here?"

"Promote democracy."

She asked, and Ning Yi also frankly entertained her indifferently, and used various modern vocabulary to fool her.Of course, she can't understand many deep things, but she can understand the simple operation method, and Ning Yi said very shallowly: "Put it in the cottage, it doesn't really see much use, but if this country It works like this... Do you still use it to go up the mountain? But don't think too much about it, temporarily in Luliang, don't think about it."

Compared with the ups and downs in autumn, countless things rushed together like a bunch. This winter, time seems to be frozen by the sudden drop of weather.The days passed day by day, and the battle outside the city was rumbling. Su Tan'er and Xiao Chan were secretly preparing for the possible destruction of the city, but the city was not breached after all.During the war season, the various relationships in the Badao Camp are extremely simple, there is no unnecessary reception or hypocrisy.

During the day, I teach the children, say hello to some acquaintances, and at night, the courtyard is lit with yellow candles, laughing and chatting with my wife, Xiao Chan, and Juan'er, and listening to the sound coming from outside the city. the sound of.The moonlight shines on and off in the sky, and the sycamore tree that has lost all its leaves stands quietly outside the window, unmoved by the wind and rain. Sometimes, I suddenly feel that such a day is more like a paradise than when I was in Jiangning. .

Doing retreat-like work day by day, at the beginning of November, when the first snow fell, Tongguan outside the city stopped trying to attack the city, and the whole city of Hangzhou became more and more quiet.It may not be until the beginning of spring next year that there will be more things to do. Ning Yi has already made such psychological preparations and made some future plans in such predictions. However, on the eighth day of November , maybe it can be regarded as the last accident of this trip to Hangzhou, but I still came to the door inadvertently.

As if there was a beginning and end arrangement in the dark, on this day, he finally killed Bao Daoyi.
