Chapter 45: The north and the south are both safe and the world is prosperous
At the end of June of the 10th year of Wu Jinghan's reign, the Battle of Liangshan in Shandong Province was mixed with the huge drama of the Wu Dynasty's southern and northern expeditions at that time, and it did not cause a large-scale shock at this time. Although people with sensitive touch can feel some things from it, but
Compared with the boiling situation of the whole situation, even if someone can take the situation here seriously, the information obtained always seems insignificant. The inner demon Ning Liheng broke Liangshan in three days, which is extremely popular in later generations, is still true at this time.
Embedded in Tong Guanfu Yanyun's eternal achievements, it is like a small tributary in the historical tide, ignored by people, and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
During the period when Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing, Guo Yaoshi, Xin Xingzong, Fang La... these people were active, Wanyan Aguda in the north led the Jin people to rise, and Xiao Qian of the Liao Kingdom propped up the final afterglow of a great empire.
, the appearance of Ning Liheng's name is just a small piece of evidence to add to the statement that "heroes emerge in large numbers" at this time - at least in the Wu Dynasty in the near future, with the continuous publicity of the great achievement of regaining Yanyun, a
The feeling that the great era has arrived fills everyone's heart, and phrases like "heroes are emerging in large numbers" have also filled the chatter on the streets, giving people an extremely intense and surging mood.
Not many people know that in a few years, all this will become the afterglow and afterglow of an empire, and the silhouette of a broader era. In this era, the strongest and most decisive torrent is,
But it originated from this. When historians of later generations traced back to the past, they tried countless times to push away all the fog, push aside all the noisy and noisy curtains of the times, push away the Yanyun in the north, and the Yanyun in the south.
Fang La tried to cast his gaze on Shandong and see clearly where the small stream running into the woods started to turn into a vast river...
At the end of June, a total of more than a thousand prisoners of Liangshan were left in the military camp of Wurui Camp. These more than a thousand people killed more than three of their companions in the battle of Liangshan, no matter what the route.
, they were all retained after their identities were filed.
Being held as prisoners in the military camp, the initial life was not easy. Most of these people who wanted to exchange their heads for wealth knew that they were being tricked, and the soldiers in Wurui camp would not look good on them. After a long period of time,
During the month of detention, they basically spent every day under the threat of death and hunger, and news from the outside world only came bit by bit, including the execution of Song Jiang and the cleaning of the entire Shuibo area.
, the companions who were left outside killed each other...
The collapse of the overall situation has worn away a lot of their will to resist. Although Wu Ruiying was a little unbearable when facing Shang Liangshan, at this time, it was absolutely ruthless when facing the prisoners. It was basically useless to protest. And for them,
Both local officials and the generals of Wurui Camp held an attitude of not being released. After a month of hunger, most of the more than a thousand people were dispersed and incorporated into the Wu Dynasty's army.
Like water dripping into a river, not many of them can survive more than ten years later.
Among them, a total of 507 people signed a ten-year contract to join a merchant named Zhuji. About a few months later, more than 100 people were sent to the military.
Among them, after the initial batch of screening, a total of 382 people were accepted by Zhuji.
At this time, these people have not yet realized that they will participate in any major events or that they will be remembered in detail in later generations. Of course, for later generations, these 382 people are only a symbolic number.
, not necessarily because they support something, just because they mean the beginning.
But this beginning was not necessarily bright and grand.
In late July, when Ning Yi came to Wurui Camp for the first time, he decided the fate and belonging of more than a thousand people. He confessed to these people the opinions of the surrounding officials on their fate, either to join the army, or to obtain rewards after their achievements.
To be free, either join Zhuji and sell yourself for ten years. After that, all the affairs, livelihood, etc. of these people will be borne by themselves.
At that time, Ning Yi's face was not healthy, and his speech was dull and indifferent. But here, more than a thousand people who had been hungry for more than a month did not dare to make too many protests, and the entire selection process was completed in two days.
, and then Ning Yi paid out the full amount of the bonus for each head, especially to those who went to join the army. While giving out the money, he told them that their money should be used in other things. When they go to the military camp, they can manage it up and down, so that they can live a good life.
It was better. Later, some people benefited from this, and a small number of people suffered from these silver coins.
Regarding these matters about Liangshan, in addition to Qin Siyuan's Youxiang Mansion, the most direct attention is actually the power of the Taiwei Mansion. At first, they may have just paid attention to it, but when they learned about Ning Yi's behavior when he broke Liangshan
After using the method, Gao Qiu sent an order to Zhou Tong who happened to be passing by, taking advantage of the chaos that others denounced as an "inner demon". For him, this was a convenient move after learning about the friction between Ning Yi and his family.
After the failure, the Taiwei Mansion, who was unwilling to face the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, fell silent, and both of them put the incident in their memories.
Only the five hundred people left behind became the most realistic problem before Ning Yi at that time. Whether it was Wang Shanyue, Zhu Biao or Lu Hongti, they all initially raised objections and included these people in Zhuji.
, whether you can rest assured and whether it is safe is a huge question. In these years, if you have money, you can hire experts in the world, recruit domestic slaves, and buy poor people who cannot afford to eat. These people have at least the most
There is no hatred, and in terms of loyalty, they are much more reliable than the more than 500 people in Liangshan.
Later historians would occasionally raise similar questions until this point, but the process of how these people were later trained and even brainwashed by Ning Yi seemed to have been deliberately obliterated by Ning Yi, and not much information was left.
, the participants at the time did not talk much about the matter later. If someone really wanted to delve into the matter, they might find some fragmentary things.
After dealing with the problem of selling themselves, Ning Yi and others established a closed camp near Dulonggang. Ning Yi stayed here for about a month. After everything was on track, Su Wenyu was responsible for the whole thing. In Dulonggang
In the memory of the residents, exercise in the camp basically consisted of simply standing, sitting, and walking. At night, a group of people would often sit together and talk, and sometimes the voices inside would be very loud.
In addition, several riots occurred but were suppressed.
After about three months of this kind of thing, the camp became semi-closed. The remaining nearly 400 people here would come out to do some things for Dulonggang. In the winter, they would cut dry firewood and put it outside Dulonggang, or put it outside Dulonggang.
Some people will put down the money they have saved at someone's doorstep.
At this time, the residents of Dulonggang were still hostile to the remnants of Liangshan. Every time such a move was made, Zhu Biao and others had to pull people together to ask the villagers not to make drastic actions. But not many people understood why these people would do this in a few days.
It will look like this within a few months.
This matter became an unsolved mystery for a long time after that. Three months later, the second group of people entered the semi-enclosed camp, who were bought from various places when winter came.
There were more than 300 young people. After that, this group of young people were trained one-on-one for about half a year and became part of Bamboo Records. After the third batch of young people came out, the 382 people who belonged to Liangshan finally also
Scattered to various places in Bamboo Records... these are all things for another day.
In early August, on the hillside as the sun set, Hongti sat there, looking at the camp that was gradually being built at the foot of the mountain. Ning Yi came from behind, looked at the sunset, and sat down next to her.
In the distance, more than 500 people at the foot of the mountain were practicing a neat formation - under Ning Yi's harsh requirements and the threat of death, the formation was too neat.
"I'm still a little worried that you keep these people by your side." Hongti said, "If you continue to practice like this, ordinary people can of course give orders and prohibitions, but in their hearts, after all, they have a grudge against you. You let those monks
Come here and tell them some big principles every night, but they may not understand."
"They will understand." Ning Yi smiled.
Hongti shook his head: "I'm still worried about your safety. I'm not smart. You...tell me seriously. Is it really useful to ask them to talk about the things they did wrong these few nights?"
Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "What I'm afraid of... is not just useful. Don't think too much, this is not a good thing. I will only use this method this time..."
"Mysterious."
Hongti glanced at him and hugged her knees. For the past few days, Hongti always maintained her temperament as Ning Yi's master when she was in front of others. She wore a gauze hat and the clothes Ning Yi chose for her.
Dressed in a "heroine" and "grandmaster" style, when Ning Yi followed her, not many people dared to ignore her. Especially now that her record of hunting down Liangshan people has been made public, "River and Mountain Iron Sword" Lu Hong
This name has been spread throughout Qilu, and together with the "inner demon", he will become a star-killing demon that no one dares to offend.
Zhu Chaofeng and others from Dulonggang had to salute her respectfully, sit on top of the table when sitting in the living room, and sit on the top table when eating. Hongti was originally indifferent and didn't care about such things, but Ning Yi was keen on it, and often compared her seniority to her.
Lifting it up a bit, Hongti had to act like a master. Zhu Biao had asked her for help several times, but within a few moves he was snatched away with bare hands. Only Luan Tingyu could live better with her.
He tried to recruit him, but he couldn't defeat him. The people in Dulonggang now have great respect for this female master.
Only when there was no one around could the two of them be more casual. Speaking of it at this time, her tone was not displeased. Regarding Ning Yi's mystery, she just felt that it was very powerful, and she was a bit proud of it.
Ning Yi smiled and put his arms around her shoulders: "I will be measured. But you, if you return to Luliang Mountain, you must be careful. Don't always go all out and wait for me to come to you."
Hongti nodded: "The Liao Kingdom has been defeated, and Luliang should be able to live in peace for a while. If the Wu Dynasty really regains the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, there will be no grass-tripping valleys in the future."
"If this is true, it would be a good thing, but... don't take it lightly..."
"……Um."
As one of the best martial arts masters in the world, she leaned on her lover's shoulder and looked at the sunset, with some longing in her brows.
The news of Tong Guan's return to Yanjing had already spread throughout the Wu Dynasty. Under the orange sunset, the evening wind blew up the withered grass on the hillside and flew into the air, blowing the clothes and hair of the two people.
With the woman's longing and the man's prudence, they drifted into the distance. Although the subsequent development of events may not go as expected, the scene of the two sitting next to each other and the warmth in their hearts at this moment can always be thought of...
Even if she will return to the harsh mountains and fields again and fight against all the malice, she will no longer be confused. Because outside the mountains and fields, there is a person coming in through the thorns and thorns. Thinking of this, her heart and
The sword will be quiet, and it will also support her to become the iron-blooded sword that truly guards the entire Luliang.
Not long after, in a small room in Lanhuandong, Miaojiang, a girl named Liu Xigua sat there, looking at the little sunlight coming in from the window lattice, tears falling down her cheeks. Because on this day, she
We got the news that just a few days ago, officers and soldiers broke into Qingxi. Outside Zitong Cave, Shenggong Fangla led the remaining troops to break through but failed. He died of exhaustion after three days of fighting. Queen Shao Xianying also committed suicide. Fang Qifu, Fang Baihua and others
He led a very small number of remaining troops to escape.
Liu Tiannan came in from the door with tea: "Girl, don't be sad anymore...this matter..."
Liu Xigua raised her face, the sun shining on the tears rolling down her face: "I insist on it."
"Alas..." Liu Tiannan put down the tea and finally withdrew.
After all, Ba Dao Camp was raised with Fang La. After the Battle of Hangzhou, there were only 800 young men who could fight, and they had to protect one or two thousand family members, old and weak. It was Ning Yi who made the transfer and established a foothold.
Plan, Xigua also arbitrarily chose to break away from Fang La, who was gone. At this point, she could only ensure the survival of Ba Dao Camp.
After that, Chen Fan led some people to leave and returned to Qingxi to save people. When the war situation there was critical, there were also some passionate men who wanted to help these comrades who had fought together. Xigua opposed these things without giving up.
, but in fact, the relationship between her and Fang La and others is far deeper than the relationship between others and Fang La.
In a sense, since the death of Liu Dabiao, Shenggong Fangla, Shao Xianying, and Fang Baihua have become almost her closest family members.
She once persuaded Fang Layuan to flee, but Fang La refused. At this time, how did she feel about sitting back and watching these relatives die for the sake of the survival of Ba Dao Camp? Liu Tiannan and some people who were close to her in Ba Dao Camp
Everyone can relate to it.
After Liu Tiannan left, Xigua sat there in confusion for a long time. Finally, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves. At this time, the quality of the paper was not good. Maybe it had been read many times.
The pieces of paper were all tattered. It was the news of "Inner Demon's Town in Liangshan" that came from outside not long ago. She later inquired about it and found out that she got these pieces of paper, but she couldn't piece together the incident.
The whole picture comes.
"Ning Liheng..." She sniffed, and then wiped away her tears vigorously, not wanting him to look down on her!
She said nothing more, but looking at the light coming in from the window, she felt like crying again.
where are you……
——After Fang La was crowned, the Yongle crisis that caused a lot of uproar finally came to an end.
In the tenth year of Jinghan's reign in the Wu Dynasty, both the north and the south were settled. At the end of August, Ning Yi returned to Bianliang, and it was a time of peaceful autumn. Soon after, a chain business system named Zhuji spread its tentacles on the land of the Wu Dynasty.
Expanding like a monster...
The prelude to a great era has begun.
ps: This is the end of the fourth episode. From a conceptual point of view, the entire fourth episode is an episode for the later stage. Many hidden lines are laid down here, including Bianliang's thread, Guo Yaoshi's thread, and Lin Chong's thread.
Zhou Pei's threads, etc., as well as Ning Yi's reasons for why he should do things, can finally take shape here. In terms of the concept of connecting the past and the future, everything that should be done has been done.
There is no need for a summary. The name of the fifth episode should be "Feast". I have a cold, so I started coding this chapter in the afternoon, and I have only finished it with modifications now. Please vote for me ^_^rs
