Chapter 788 The autumn wind is bleak and the flood surges up (5)
It was also the sixth day of the Southwest War. On the mountain roads outside Jishan County, there were various flags gathered one after another.
Correspondingly, there were black flags of the Chinese army garrisoning Jishan County. Ning Yi, still wearing a green robe, rushed over from Hedeng County to meet with the leader of this team.
The battle with Wu Xiang's army continued in the mountains to the northeast. In Liangshan, various tribes that had participated in the Xiaohuiling Conference began to send troops. The destination of the troops was the once powerful Mangshan Ni tribe.
This is an internal struggle of the Ni people. The struggle between the various tribes of the Ni people who have thrived in Liangshan for thousands of years is barbaric and cruel, and is not humane to outsiders. However, it has also developed a fierce and brave folk custom, and the meeting of Xiaohuiling has
After the alliance, the Chinese Army can recruit some warriors from the Ni tribe to join the army. The two sides will also have more and deeper cooperation and exchanges. The process of assimilation may be long, but at least it has a good start, and as much as possible
Smooth rear.
Along with Ning Yi came the mistress Su Tan'er, who had been able to take a little vacation recently, as well as Ning Xi, Ning Ji and other children. For a long time, the material situation in the three counties of Hedeng was actually not rich, and there were many
At that time, the Dayang tribe of Tubo had to be supplied, and logistics had always been tight. Especially when the war started, Ning Yi had to force many Ni tribes to take sides, so he could only wait for the right time to take action, and the Mangshan tribe targeted
The autumn harvest was disrupted, and Su Tan'er, who managed the logistics, and Ning Yi, who was also involved in it, had actually been struggling with the supplies on hand.
From this perspective, it is not unreasonable for Lu Qiaoshan’s strategy of saying nice things on the surface and smiling while secretly trying to consume the Chinese Army as much as possible. Of course, no matter who it is, they will also have to face the Chinese Army being forced to fight to the death.
The consequences of this wave are probably extremely difficult for even the Jurchens today to bear.
Blockade all out, gather allies, extend the front line, and clear the country. If the Wu Dynasty can achieve this level of determination in the encirclement and suppression of Black Flag, then the Chinese army, which does not have sufficient reserves of resources, may really face the possibility of using all its cards and losing both sides.
However, with only 100,000 people coming to attack, the moment the chess piece was settled in Xiaohuiling, all of this had already been decided and there was no need to think about it again.
Ning Yi and Su Tan'er also relaxed briefly.
Outside the county town, they said goodbye to the Ni people who came to join forces symbolically. Ning Yi and Tan'er walked along the foothills. There were jagged trees beside them, and the sun would fall from above. Ning Xi, Ning Ji, etc.
The child visited Su Wenfang in the city, but never followed him. The city below the field of vision looked prosperous and weird, with mud and brick houses alternating, the waterwheel turned, and every factory seemed busy. The walls separated the city into different areas.
In the area, black smoke pillars rise, there are no gardens, and the busy city looks a bit dull.
"Remember Jiang Ning's yard?" Ning Yi asked as he walked away.
"How could I not remember the place where I grew up?" Walking along the road, Tan'er's steps seemed light. Although her dress was simple, when Ning Yi asked this question, she still vaguely showed the smile she had back then. At that time,
Not long after Ning Yi woke up, she came back from outside after escaping from marriage. She was wearing a brocade dress, a white skirt, and a red cloak. She was confident and bright, and now they have settled into her body.
"I haven't seen it in many years."
"After entering Beijing, I still went back, but it was more than ten years ago when I came to Xiaocanghe, Northwest, and then here." Tan'er raised her head, "Why are you talking about this?"
"The firecrackers during the Spring Festival, the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, the brothel city, the boats on the Qinhuai River... Sometimes when I think about it, I feel like I robbed you of a lot of things." Ning Yi held her hand, "Well, it is true.
I robbed a lot of things.”
Tan'er glanced at him, but just smiled: "When I was a teenager, looking at those things, I really felt that I couldn't live without them for the rest of my life. But since my family sells things, I had already thought that one day I would have everything.
No, in fact, after you get married and have children, nothing remains the same throughout your life. You want to go to Beijing, and I will go to Beijing with you. Originally, I would not stay in Jiangning anymore. Then I went to Xiaocanghe, and now I am in Liangshan. I want to
It’s a bit surprising when I think about it, but this is how I’ve been living my whole life...Why did my husband suddenly talk about this?”
"Well... I just suddenly remembered it. I had a dream last night, and I dreamed about the time we were chatting upstairs."
"The building is burned." Tan'er stopped and raised her chin to look at him, "Mr. sir, you forgot? I burned it myself."
"Yes, yes." Ning Yi laughed.
Tan'er let go of his hand and walked forward slowly. The change in her body shape over the years was not great, but a woman in her thirties had lost the sweetness she had when she was twenty, replaced by the restraint and body of a mother.
The tenderness of my wife also has the tenacity to go through so many journeys at this time: "After all, we burned down the building, so we could live together, and only then could we have the Xi'er we have today. Although what would happen after the building was burned, I didn't want to think about it at the time.
It's clear, but the building will always burn. Jiangning always has to go out. I am in Hedeng, and sometimes I feel depressed, but think about it, after walking out of Jiangning, and then out of the capital, there seems to be nothing strange. But you
…”
She crossed her arms and turned around to glare at Ning Yi: "Ning Rentu! What are you going to do again?"
"My lady knows everything." Ning Yi smiled brighter, "After all, I have been here for so long..."
"Who is going to be unlucky again?"
"This morning, Wen Yu invited himself to negotiate with Wu Xiangjun."
"Ah?" Tan'er's face suddenly changed and she frowned.
"Based on the long-term analysis and judgment of Lu Qiaoshan, Wen Yu will be fine in this case. Don't worry, Wen Fang is injured, and Wen Yu wants to kill them. If he goes to negotiate, he can get the maximum benefit.
This is the reason why he requested to go there. However, what I want to say is not just this. We have stayed in Liangshan for long enough..." He paused, "It's time to go out."
Tan'er was silent for a moment: "Is it time?"
"I've been here with my tail between my legs for several years, and now, all the clowns are here to tease me. If the Wu Dynasty dares to send Lu Qiaoshan over to this level, I should teach them a lesson... When will I fall?"
He has become a person who only suffers from being dumb." Ning Yi frowned and shook his head.
"But...my husband mentioned the reason why he couldn't go out before."
"Yes." Ning Yi walked forward and took Su Tan'er's hand, "Conquering a place can rely on force. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Black Flag. If I really want to risk my life, I can kill a Wu Dynasty. But if I have to
Assimilation into a place can only rely on cultural context. In the years of Xiaocanghe and Hedeng, the talk of equality for all, democracy, republic, capital, investigation of things, and even world harmony, really put it among the tens of millions of people in the Wu Dynasty.
, these things will disappear, after all... their lives are still pretty good."
"The fire lit by the Black Flag Army, I have been serious about it for ten years, is just a tinder. If I really want to pull it out, the only useful thing is to kill the rich and divide the fields by shouting that everyone is equal. Zuo Duanyou left
I made a joke with him at that time, saying that if the whole world is really my enemy, I will start shouting for equality and equalization of land. But if the world is going to get better in the end, before it gets better, we must admit the current differences."
"Overcorrection will inevitably lead to overcorrection. If the government is returned to the people under the current circumstances, the cultural context will be cut off. It is okay if the current Confucian system is cut off, but the respect for culture and wisdom cannot be cut off, and the self-esteem of literati cannot be cut off.
To walk on the right path, the words of a fool are unreliable. In the end, wisdom must be the core. I must at least guarantee that in the new era, people will understand the weight of culture, and the literati themselves can recognize this weight and realize their own
We must bear the responsibility, and even because of this responsibility, we can be unyielding in the face of power and pay the price for the truth.”
"It's easy to kill people and kill people. Just tell the people in the world that you are all the same. Being wise is the same as not being wise. Studying is the same as not studying. I will defeat the Wu Dynasty and even the Jurchens, unify the world, and then kill everyone.
Opponents of the literati, after killing one group and then another group, and a few more times, the rest will kneel down. But... the future ones will also kneel down, and there will be no more bones. They can fight for
They do things for money and do things for benefits, and the culture in their hands has no weight on them. How can people trust them when they have questions?"
"To make people understand and give everyone the power to choose, we hope that everyone can become a leader. But if cultural self-esteem is broken, even if you are sensible, you will not be able to make the right choice after being deceived by the information. In the future, we
We will go back to the old road again. Why bother to kill the Wu Dynasty and establish another Wu Dynasty? The literati have bones, which makes people have a headache, but if an era wants to change for the better, it must have literati with bones. This
It's something...I can't care less."
The two of them walked down the mountain road, with many people following them from a distance. Tan'er smiled and said, "If my husband hears what he said, they will say you are bragging."
"It is advisable to keep an eye on the scenery and plan ahead." Ning Yi also smiled, "But now the time is almost up, let's go out for a little bit... The most important thing is that those who lose must have their flesh cut off, so as to serve as a warning.
On the other hand, the Jurchens are going south, and the Wu Dynasty may not be able to stop it. We don't have much time, and we have no choice. Let's take out a few cities first and see the effect. I invited Yong Jinnian and asked him to write something
thing……"
"So, you can go out to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"I hope I can have a good year..."
The couple walked forward and talked some more. When they reached the mountainside, they saw several people coming up the road below. Tan'er smiled and pointed to an old man in front of him: "Here, Master Yong."
This old man's name is Yong Jinnian, a Confucian scholar introduced by Zuo Duanyou, and he is now responsible for the compilation of some books in Jishan. After the two sides greeted each other, Ning Yi got straight to the point: "Master Yong, I invite you to come here because I hope to receive you."
With your pen, write a message for the Chinese Army."
"A message?" The old man's eyes lit up.
"Yes, it probably means... Since the Jinghan Dynasty, the Jurchens have risen and the world has been in chaos. The Central Plains and the survival of the Chinese nation have been threatened. Since the establishment of the Chinese Army, all the officers and soldiers in the Chinese Army have sacrificed their lives for the survival of the world.
He shed his blood, but he died without mercy... During the Jianshuo period, the Central Plains fell into the hands of gold thieves. The Chinese army resisted the enemy in the northwest for three years, and defeated the puppet Qi successively. The Jin army numbered one million, and the Jurchen general Lou Shi was killed.
, I didn’t miss my words, but in the end I had no luck after my death, so I moved south..."
…
The late autumn wind had already started to blow, and Liangshan still seemed warm. At the Wu Xiang Army camp, after Su Wenyu proposed that Wu Xiang Army surrender unconditionally, both sides announced the breakdown of the first negotiation in their respective unkind words.
Su Wenyu turned around and left, waving his hand.
"Then let's fight for two more days!"
Soon, black military flags spread across the mountains and plains, attacking the territory of Wu Xiang's army.
The war will continue. Soon, Brother Lang will get the news that the Mangshan tribe is besieged and attacked by the army...
…
"...Since the Huaxia Army arrived in the Xiaoliang Mountains, they have lived and cultivated themselves and fought cautiously. Internally, they have done nothing wrong with the local people. Externally, they have used contracts and integrity as the standards for dealing with others. They have never bullied or owed others. Since the replacement of the new king in the Wu Dynasty,
The Huaxia Army has always maintained restraint and goodwill, but now, this restraint and goodwill have been misunderstood by others. Some people regard the goodwill of our army as weakness! In the ninth year of Wu Jianshuo, in the Jurchen Zongfu, Zongbi was eyeing Jiangnan, and the Huaxia General
Faced with the catastrophe of annihilation of a distinguished family, the Wu Dynasty, armed with a hundred thousand soldiers of Wu Xiang Army, brazenly invaded, they would rather fight against each other and fight against each other despite the disaster of annihilation at the height of the foreign invasion——"
…
In the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River, the hungry ghosts are still expanding and destroying everything they can see. Bianliang has been besieged for several months. As the autumn passes, the fields burned by the hungry ghosts have yielded no harvest, and the savings have been exhausted.
Finally, countless cities near Bianliang suffered the same fate.
Ali Gu led the army to attack and defeated and massacred the hungry ghost troops several times. Several large armies that once belonged to the Puppet Qi were also trying their best to resist the invasion of the hungry ghosts. In this autumn, there were millions of people or hungry ghosts.
People died or were killed on this land, the stench of corpses spread, and the plague began to spread. However, the number of hungry ghosts continued to expand at an unstoppable speed.
Wang Shitong, who was attacked by hunger and illness, went crazy and commanded a huge army of hungry ghosts to attack everywhere he could see: there were too many people, and he didn't mind letting the hungry ghosts lose as much as possible on the battlefield.
. And there is too little food. Even if the city is captured, the people who follow it cannot be full for long. Wherever the hungry ghosts go, the bark, grass and roots on the mountains have been eaten up. After autumn, the few fruits have also been eaten.
No longer exists, people set up pots, boiled water, and began to devour the same kind around them.
Some puppet Qi warlords who controlled the territory even tried to get out of the way and let the hungry ghosts go south, but the hungry ghosts chose to attack the city like a sea of people. The south of the Yangtze River was too far away, and they could only seize every grain in front of them.
The small, thin, skinny people walked all the way, crying without tears. Despair accompanies them. Little by little, as the coolness sweeps over, this hell on earth is about to be saturated.
unstoppable.
The eight thousand elites of Black Flag are avoiding this wave of despair and are still rushing to Xuzhou.
…
"...The Chinese Army will not sit idly by and tolerate the short-sightedness and stupidity of its neighbors. Our army will give a head-on blow to all invading enemies... Now that Wu Xiang's army has been defeated, in order to ensure the survival of the Chinese Army,
To ensure the survival and interests of the residents of Liangshan, and to ensure the business channels and contacts with all parties that the Huaxia Army has always maintained, under the premise that the Wu Dynasty can no longer maintain the above conditions, the Huaxia Army will use its own strength to ensure that we move eastward, northward, etc.
The safety of all trade routes. Under the premise of the complete surrender of Wu Xiang's army, we will take over the garrison tasks from Liangshan to the east, north, and to Zizhou as the border..."
When Ning Yi said this, Yong Jinnian beside him raised his head and opened his mouth...
…
At Daming Mansion, Li Xizhi led an army of 170,000 to the city. At the same time, an 11,000 Chinese army led by Zhu Biao crossed the mountains and came straight towards the bank of the Yellow River where Li Xizhi was.
The drums of war are like thunder, the flags are like the sea, and the formation of 170,000 troops is majestic and solemn, giving people an impression that cannot be shaken. However, 10,000 people are already coming straight this way.
"...You arrogant boy, how dare you start a war with our army!"
Li Xizhi, who was preparing his army to attack the city, was stunned for a long time after confirming the route. At this time, the forward of the Jurchen army of 300,000 had already crossed Zhending and was 300 miles away from Daming Mansion.
And on the second day after the Jurchen army passed through Zhending, an attack broke out in Zhending against the Jurchen logistics troops. At the same time, there was an explosion in the old house of the Qi family in Zhending city, followed by a spreading fire. A man named
The Green Forest characters were fighting in this old house. The assassination attempt against Qi Yan had already begun. However, due to the Qi family's long-term management here and the large number of generals and Green Forest warriors collected, the assassination attempt, which was coordinated both inside and outside, failed to kill Qi Yan in the end.
Inkstone.
Qi Yan's two sons, one grandson, and some relatives died in this assassination. After this large-scale assassination, Qi Yan carried countless family property and many relatives all the way northward, and arrived at the Marshal Zong Han of the Kingdom of Jin the next year
, settled in Yunzhong Mansion run by Xiyin and others.
These people never returned to the Central Plains again...
…
"...Our army is sending troops this time, firstly, to protect the interests of China's military and business ethics from being infringed, and secondly, to punish the many clowns in the Wu Dynasty. The Chinese army will strictly abide by past military regulations and punish
The people who care for China in every city and place will not do anything wrong, do not disturb the people, do not demolish houses, and do not destroy fields. After this incident, if the Wu Dynasty wakes up, the Chinese army will uphold a peaceful and friendly attitude, and compensate the Wu Dynasty for the damage.
Conduct friendly consultations on other matters, and properly discuss the jurisdiction of Zizhou and other cities after the Wu Dynasty promised the interests of the Chinese army in various places..."
"...Since the day of its establishment, the Chinese Army has behaved well and behaved well with its neighbors. It has always received support and help from many enlightened people. For example, Li Chengmao (Li Xiannong) of Lingnan, etc., in order to solve the problem of gangsters such as Lang Ge in Mangshan
, running around day after day, working hard... Well, I will add a few more names later... Because all people with lofty ideals understand that foreign aggression is ahead, and overthrow is imminent. The survival of all ethnic groups in China is the most important thing in the world today. Only
Putting aside conflicts and joining hands together, the people of China can defeat the Jurchens, regain the Central Plains, and prosper our land of China... The people of China will not forget them, history will leave their names, and will thank them. I also hope that the wise men of the Wu Dynasty can think of them.
It’s not too late to look at the mirror and rein in the situation.”
"...Here, the Chinese Army promises that everything it does will put the interests of China first, and will never start a dispute with the Wu Dynasty in the future. I hope that this sincerity can make Wu Dynasty turn around. At the same time, anyone who harms China will
Those who benefit are all enemies of our Chinese Army. The Chinese Army will never indulge or tolerate its enemies. I hope that in the future, there will no longer be such incidents that cause pain to relatives and make enemies happy. Otherwise, this incident will be
Lessons from the past.”
Ning Yi paused and added the last sentence.
"Don't think that you didn't predict what you said."
…
In early August, after several years of silence in the southwest, the black flag came out of Liangshan.
On the bank of the Yellow River, a battle against Li Zhizhi's 170,000-strong army began fiercely. This was the beginning of a series of blocking battles against the Jurchen army in the North. Within three days, the Yellow River was stained with blood and the corpses were dead!
