Chapter 1678 The heart of a gentleman is the belly of a villain
Everything has two sides.⊕,w↑ww.2↗3wx.co○m
So does war.
But the difference is that everything else has both good and bad sides, with the exception of war, which is by no means a complimentary word.
The side hidden under war is full of power, desire, ambition, and intrigue.
The surface of the war is undoubtedly the devastation of life, rivers of blood, corpses strewn in the fields, complaints, groans of pain, and helpless cries.
This is true for any country.
With the full-scale civil war in Japan breaking out, more and more people have lost their homes and joined the refugee camp. This scene is very similar to the Song Dynasty ten years ago.
There was smoke from beacon fires everywhere, and refugees could be seen everywhere on the streets sleeping under the eaves with only their belongings, and some people lay down and never got up again.
Although the match girl appears in fairy tales, you can see little match girls everywhere in Japan now.
One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones.
Rulers naturally don't care about all this, they only care about their own power and status.
Yuezhongzhou.
This place has just been eroded by the war. Countless houses have been burned down. Burnt black wood is everywhere, and it is still steaming. A large number of people live in no fixed homes. The pigsty now no longer lives in pigs.
, but for people, this pigsty is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought.
Since Niu Gao led the Song army to drive away the Yuanji army here, the place finally said goodbye to the war and returned to peace. However, the wounds left by the war will take time to recover.
A middle-aged couple each carried a baggage, and the woman held a baby in her arms. Both of them were staggering, as if they hadn't eaten for a long time.
Suddenly, they saw a crowd of people in the distance. At the front of the crowd was a tall pillar. A banner fell straight down from the pillar with several large characters written on it.
The woman asked the man next to her: "Husband, what is written on it?"
The man raised his eyes and said uncertainly: "It seems to be the word Song, Da Song - porridge."
"Porridge."
The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said: "Didn't we hear on the way that the King of Golden Knife Chefs from the Song Dynasty has delivered 100,000 yuan of relief supplies to Yuezhong? I guess that's it, let's go quickly
.”
The couple hurried over and queued up, but there was no end to the queue. As the queue continued, let alone dinner. I was afraid that by the time they got there, lunch would have become a midnight snack.
The baby in my arms suddenly cried loudly.
The couple could only worry and look ahead anxiously.
At this time, a young man in Hanfu came over and said in Chinese: "You two, we adults have said that women with babies do not need to queue. Please come with me."
I dont understand!
The woman looked at the young man anxiously, not knowing what he meant.
It happened that a person standing in front could hear Chinese, so he turned around and kindly translated it in Japanese.
The woman was overjoyed and thanked her hurriedly. She followed the young man to the front of the team and received a large bowl of porridge. Then she went to the big house next to her to take shelter from the cold. When she entered the house, she saw that there were only women and children inside.
The woman's husband was still a little worried and kept watching the mother and son. It wasn't until a man in front explained to him that he felt relieved. He asked curiously: "Brother, how do you understand Chinese?"
The man in front smiled bitterly and said: "I only know a little bit. And I learned it recently. There's nothing I can do about it. Those who are here to provide disaster relief are all Song people. If you don't understand a few words of Chinese or can't recognize a few Chinese characters, you're useless."
It’s inconvenient.”
The man nodded.
The man in front said again: "Are you from out of town?"
The man nodded and said, "Well, I'm from the Kanto region."
The person in front said: "Then you have come to the right place. Now this Yuezhong Prefecture has been renamed Songren Prefecture. Many wealthy businessmen of the Song Dynasty are concentrated here. At least you will not starve to death if you come here."
The man was surprised and asked: "How do you say this?"
The man in front said: "There is work here, and many wealthy merchants from the Song Dynasty have bought the surrounding areas, built houses, and built workshops. We can do some hard work. If you are a fisherman, that would be even better.
The merchants of the Song Dynasty rented a port for us fishermen to go fishing. Although we don't get much wages, we still have food to eat. The women can do odd jobs, sew and mend, and earn some wages. Anyway, they will not die of hunger."
"That's it!"
The man said happily: "I happen to be a fisherman and I don't know where to find work."
The man in front said: "Go east here for three hundred steps and you will see a fish-shaped signboard with Chinese characters written on it in front of a house. If you are a fisherman, you don't need to queue here and go directly.
If you report there, you will naturally have food to eat."
The man said happily: "Thank you, thank you very much."
The man in front chuckled, "Just don't forget to get us a fish to use as a toothpaste then."
"sure."
The man nodded with tears in his eyes, hurriedly went to the big house to talk to his wife, and then walked quickly east. Suddenly he saw two people wearing gorgeous Hanfu walking towards him. The people passing by quickly saluted when they saw these two people.
, shouted in broken Chinese: "General Niu, Military Advisor Zhao."
The two of them took the trouble to nod and smile.
Now that the man wanted something from the Han people, his mentality changed. He quickly learned to salute and shouted respectfully: "General Niu, Military Advisor Zhao."
It's just that he is learning now and selling it now, so his name is extremely difficult to pronounce, and he really doesn't understand it very well.
But the two people didn't pay attention and nodded.
These two people were Niu Gao and Zhao Jingyan.
Niu Gao said with a smile: "The military advisor's methods are really amazing. In less than two months, the military disaster here has been alleviated. Niu Gao is really impressed."
Zhao Jingyan smiled and shook her head. In fact, how could she have such ability? The key lies in the contribution made by Nambowan and the others. It was not until today that she saw the power of Nambowan's mysterious force, which quickly broke into Japan.
It is really a miracle that the grassroots level has integrated with the local people and properly channeled these refugees. He said: "Now that winter is coming, have those winter supplies already arrived in Japan?"
Niu Gao said: "We arrived half a month ago and are now rushing to deliver it here." At this point, he paused and then said: "But it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Just rely on the support of the Privy Envoy.
Help is not a long-term solution, and spring plowing at the beginning of next year is very important to us."
Zhao Jingyan smiled lightly and said: "The original landowners here were all people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. They saw the Genji fighting earlier, so they fled to Kaga. Now our Song Dynasty has opened an evacuation channel. These rich people
People quickly fled to Laizhou with their money and took refuge. Now the fertile fields around here have become wasteland. We are already planning farmland. At the end of the year, the farmland will be distributed to the people here."
Although the ruling power of Song Renzhou is still in the hands of the Ping family, Iga Baichuan and others are concerned about the war. In fact, Zhao Jingyan and the merchants of the Song Dynasty are in charge of this matter.
Since Yuezhong Prefecture was renamed Songren Prefecture, merchants from the Song Dynasty flocked here. Under the secret instigation of Nan Bowan and others, they purchased local land at very low prices and built houses. They built workshops on a large scale. Because of the Japanese Civil War, this place was
The manpower is unprecedentedly cheap, and because the Song Dynasty is already fully supporting the Ping clan. There are more than double the number of cargo ships than in previous years, and it is very convenient to transport the goods back. They can be transported directly by warships, and the freight is also very cheap.
This kind of cheap labor and land prices lead to very low cost of goods, but prices in some places in the Song Dynasty are very expensive. This is also the main reason why merchants in the Song Dynasty are willing to risk their lives to stay here. If you don't give it a try these days, it will be very difficult.
It’s hard to make a fortune!
Not only that, merchants from Goryeo also gathered in Song Renzhou. Although Goryeo also sent troops, they were relatively small. The dominance of reinforcements was still in the hands of the Song army.
Zhao Jingyan doesn't care what happens outside, she must first manage the Song Dynasty well.
Nowadays, it can be seen everywhere in Songren Prefecture that houses are being built and factories renovated.
Of course, Iga Baichuan, Tengji Miki and others will not object. It is not too late to be happy in your heart. You can do it to your heart's content. This has also caused many people from the surrounding areas to come to Songren Prefecture in search of a bite to eat.
Because the leaders are Chinese and the boss is also Chinese, Chinese is very popular in Songzhou now. If you don't know a few words in Chinese, you will be looked down upon and it will be hard to live with. Therefore, many Japanese people are studying Chinese and Chinese characters hard.
Niu Gao nodded. He was in charge of the outside, and Zhao Jingyan was in charge. This had formed a tacit understanding. He suddenly said: "Military advisor, have you noticed that there is something strange about the battle on the front line."
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said, "I feel the same way. Ping's fight seems to be too easy."
Niu Gao said with worry on his face: "I have fought several battles with the Genji army here. Although our army ended up with a great victory, it was always with more and less, and when the other party was unable to cope with it, the Genji
The army is by no means a loser, but now it has been defeated continuously by the Taira clan. It is said that the Taira clan is about to completely drive the Genji out of Echizen state. This is a bit weird."
Because Echizen Prefecture is close to Kyoto Prefecture, the Taira clan has always been on guard against the Song army, so they only used the Song army to drive the Genji away from Echizen Prefecture at the beginning. However, after that, as the Taira clan made great progress all the way, the Taira clan
He did not "trouble" the Song army anymore, but asked them to guard the rear of Hokuriku Road to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks on the flanks. Taira Tadashi led all the main forces to launch a fierce attack on Genji.
Zhao Jingyan nodded and said: "I think so too, but I think we need to remind Ping Zhongzheng."
Niu Gao's big eyes turned, and he half-smiled and said: "Military advisor, I think it's better for us not to get involved in this matter. Besides, Ping Zhongzheng and the others may not listen, and maybe they won't end up with a good person."
Zhao Jingyan glanced at Niu Gao and said with a smile: "I just knew they wouldn't listen, so I said that."
"ah?"
Niu Gao looked at Zhao Jingyan in surprise.
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "I already know the Privy Envoy's plan."
"Yes---really?"
Niu Gao scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
Zhao Jingyan said: "Ping Zhongzheng is currently immersed in the joy of victory. The combination of anger and joy may make him lose his mind. There are many such battles in history. They are also mentioned many times in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as Red Cliff.
In the battle, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, and Lu Xun burned his company. Kyoto was very close. At this time, anyone advised him to retreat, and he would never listen. If we tried to persuade him at this time, he would definitely ignore it, but if they were defeated.
, then we can openly send troops to the front line. It is best that this battle can annihilate Taira Tadamasa's main force. In that case, we can control the military power of Hokurikudo, and it will not make people suspicious. After all, we have warned you in advance.
his."
Niu Gao thought for a moment, grinned and said with a smile: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? You are still a great military advisor, so what should we say?" But in his heart, he thought that the woman who deserves to be the Privy Council is all superficial.
He looked so peaceful and aloof, but when he started to move his hands, he was really not as ruthless as anyone else.
Zhao Jingyan said: "It's very simple. Just write two letters to Ping Zhongzheng. This first letter reminds them not to advance rashly, or they may fall into the enemy's conspiracy. I think they will definitely not listen, and then we will write the second letter.
Send a second letter and ask them to send us to support, just in case anything goes wrong. They have been guarding us, so they won't listen anymore. But you have to go to Tokichi Miki and Hei Takero about this first and explain everything to them.
Let them be a witness, so that they can eliminate our suspicions and trust us more."
