"After your brother seizes the island, he should build a Taoist temple on it. It shouldn't be too big, as long as it can accommodate Sanqing and me." Han Lin suddenly became a little sad.
"You are so prosperous now, why are you hiding?"
"We are actually all dependent on His Majesty for survival. No one is sure how many years His Majesty will be able to survive now.
The Hai'er Army originated from Taizu. Taizu had great strategies, great insights, and great means, and dared to sleep soundly under the protection of the Hai'er Army. But do you know how many of my Hai'er Army died during the Taizong period?
Your Majesty is now merciful and allows me, Boyjun, to leave the palace alive. Once he conquers Bintian, the next great purge will inevitably come.
Chen Lin has made preparations to be buried by His Majesty. We still need to be alive. He can do things without caring about his funeral, but we can't. Once the storm clears, we will be bereaved dogs and live in fear. Most spies have this fate.
There’s nothing to feel sorry for.”
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, it's better to go to the sea with me to rob families than to be a spy. If I need to open a nunnery opposite your Taoist temple, I can do it."
Han Lin smiled and said: "Forget it about the nunnery, as long as Xiao Lin can give birth to a few more children, I will be satisfied. As long as our brothers have someone to offer blood food after their death."
I'm leaving. Let me tell you one thing. Be careful of the queen. This woman is not simple. She usually looks calm and indifferent. Once she strikes, she is quick and ruthless. Chen Lin suffered a lot at her hands.
In addition, if you really don't want to get involved in the royal family's private affairs, then just don't give any face to anyone and just wait to participate in the battle to regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture.
This is the achievement of eternal life. As long as it is a man, no one will not yearn for it. The old Taoist very much looks forward to being able to fight with the army."
After Han Lin finished speaking, he jumped out of the window and disappeared in an instant.
Yun Er's head poked in from another window and said to Yun Zheng: "Brother, there is a pursuer behind Han Lin, should we kill him?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Han Lin may not know that someone is following him. He didn't kill him, so let's not get into trouble. We are lucky to mind our own business."
Yun Er said: "In that case, brother, I want to go to Hebei first. After gathering the astrolabe, I will borrow the Shi family's big ship to go to sea to arrange the affairs of the seventy-two overseas islands. I have not arranged the escape route well. I always feel in my heart
It’s not stable.”
"Then go. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. When you arrive in Hebei, don't be busy going to sea. The Yun family's stability comes first. Don't act rashly until there is a safe team to go to sea. People like the ship boss must choose to live and die with our family.
That kind of person, our caravan has cultivated some of these people intentionally or unintentionally over the years, ask your sister-in-law, who are really useful."
Yun Er nodded and left. Facing a table full of leftovers, Yun Zheng could hardly contain his irritation. He turned the table upside down with a roar.
Everyone is concerned about the Queen's decree. Why doesn't anyone think about the people of the Song Dynasty who stayed in Jianchang Mansion and will pass through Jianchang Mansion? And the almost countless caravans?
Jianchang Mansion has become a mess. No one can blame Cao Rong for seeking his own death. It would be a pity to feed the dogs after he dies, but how come no one asks about these common people and merchants?
If a soldier dies, no matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter. There is nothing to regret if you die in battle because you can't defeat others. Since they have done a lot of bad things, they must have the ability to resist. The army is more cruel to the local area. This is
It is normal for occupying forces, but they must act within their capabilities. If they do not have enough repressive force, they should not cause anger and resentment.
Zhang Fangping passed by Yun Zheng's study three times. On the fourth time, he finally couldn't help but walked in. He knocked on his temple and said, "I'm afraid of seeing you now. Every time it's very troublesome.
, I have only been back to Chengdu for more than a month, and I have to ride over here again to make peace. Can you take pity on my old bones?"
Yun Zheng looked down at the map in front of him and sighed: "It takes at least four thousand troops to enter Jianchang Mansion. Where do you want me to find such manpower?"
Zhang Fangping was stunned for a moment and said: "For Cao Rong?"
"What I'm worried about are the merchants and the people. They may be hurt by this trend. Cao Rong doesn't care about their life or death. I'm a native of Douchuan and I have to go out to meet people in the future. I don't care." Yun said.
Zheng was still a little irritable.
Zhang Fangping chuckled and said: "If this is the case, you don't have to be so upset. I'll help you solve it. Now merchants continue to do business with Dali, Tubo, and even Tianzhu, and the Song Dynasty refugees who moved into Jianchang Prefecture are also doing business."
They are living well, no one is going to hurt them, even the bandits are hiding from them when they see them."
Yun Zheng raised his head in surprise, realizing for the first time that this old man was so cute.
"Plan to come out of An?"
"Simple, your name as Yunhu Tiger has long been resounding throughout the country, even in the small area of Jianchang Prefecture. I ordered Chengdu businessmen to make thousands of Yun's Flying Tiger Flags and sent them to Jianchang Prefecture. As long as
It's the merchants and people of the Song Dynasty. As long as this flag is hung in front of their homes, bandits and rioters will naturally take a detour. As long as the caravan hangs the Flying Tiger Flag in front, the Dali officers and soldiers dare not stop it. So far, there has been no
There are rumors that the people of the Song Dynasty who flew the Flying Tiger Flag were in trouble."
"...Are you sure it works?"
Zhang Fangping chuckled and said: "With the murderous methods you have used over the years, your reputation has been silenced for a long time. Is it strange to scare a few bandits and rioters? In addition, I spread rumors that you and Cao Rong
Discord, just sit back and watch Cao Rong's misfortune, otherwise your army would have killed you long ago. Once those people hurt the people of the Song Dynasty and angered you, they will immediately end up thousands of miles away!"
"Did they believe it?"
"What do you think? Do you think that I, the governor of Chengdu Prefecture, is just a man who has nothing to do and is indifferent while watching the suffering of the people under his rule?"
Yun Zheng opened his mouth and laughed loudly for a long time before he stopped and said: "It is better to teach people to be afraid than to teach people to love. It is indeed an eternal saying. I have this evil reputation and it is not in vain for me to fight on the battlefield!"
Zhang Fangping smiled and said: "Are you feeling at peace now? Now that you are at peace, I will tell you carefully what Pang Ji and the others want from you."
Yun Zheng grabbed Zhang Fangping and said: "My Lord, we have traveled hard to get to Dousha Village. No matter what, we have to drink a lot. I had something on my mind just now and the drink was not very refreshing. Let's do it all over again. Last year, we had a lot of trouble."
Jing brewed some peach wine, now is the time to drink it..."
Since the people and merchants in Jianchang Prefecture were fine, Yun Zheng thought that nothing happened in Jianchang Prefecture. Zhang Fangping was actually right. If the people of the Song Dynasty in Jianchang Prefecture were affected by rice seedlings, he would definitely send troops to march westward. Since
It is difficult to say that the army marched thousands of miles into Chidi in anger.
The greatest power of an army lies in deterrence rather than invasion. The most terrifying thing is that long bows and arrows are drawn but not fired. People's fear of power will amplify this power without limit.
The businessmen and common people of Jianchang Prefecture were the group of people who worried and felt the most guilty. The livelihood of Di Qing's men depended on it. It would be a crime if his driving out the bandits affected their livelihood.
.
Now that the biggest trouble has been dealt with, there is no need to care about Xiao Jiujiu in the hearts of people like Pang Ji and Han Qi. No matter how Yun Zheng shows kindness to them, people will naturally regard him as an alien, and the effect of showing kindness will be the same as that of others.
A punch to Pang Ji's face would have the same effect.
Seeing that Yun Zheng was unwilling to listen to what Pang Ji and the others said, Zhang Fangping sighed and had to shut up. Sima Guang had slept for a long time and was now looking at the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance in admiration. Yun Er, dressed in white, was holding a hand in his hand.
A fan was standing by the side, constantly pointing to the mountains to Sima Guang and telling allusions and cultural anecdotes about them.
"It is said that when Zhuge Wuhou, the prime minister of the Shu Kingdom, marched to Nanzhao to quell the chaos, he entered Nanzhao along the Wuchi Road. You may have heard that the most important thing when the army was running through the jungle was the water source.
Although there is water everywhere in the forest, it is a pity that there is no place that is drinkable. Many water sources are polluted by miasma. People who drink it will either get diseases or be poisoned..."
Sima Guang sighed: "So our ancestors started to open up their living areas from the Central Plains and have now opened up here, and we don't know how many sacrifices they have made."
Zhang Fangping said with a smile: "I don't know about other places, but it is just a city in Shu. It has been developed for thousands of years since the pre-Qin Dynasty. In the early years, the Chengdu Plain was just a swamp. I heard that dragons were rampant and wild beasts were swarming. Dujiangyan locked the Minjiang River.
It was only because of this evil dragon that the prosperous Chengdu Plain appeared."
The four people were sitting in the flower garden in front of the brick house, overlooking the green mountains in the distance and smelling the fragrance of the flowers up close. Whether it was Zhang Fangping, Sima Guang, Yun Zheng and Yun Er, they were all well-read poetry and books. Whether they were talking about strange things in Sichuan,
When it comes to folk allusions, they are all picked up and told in a very interesting way.
Lu Qingqing, who was wearing a green sarong, brought sweet peach wine with a smile, and bacon also brought out all kinds of Yun family's unique meals, setting a full table.
Zhang Fangping smiled and said to Sima Guang: "This time I have taken advantage of Jun Shi. I didn't get such treatment when this evil guest came to my door."
Sima Guang smiled and said: "When Mr. Peng Li took Yun Yue to my house to discuss studies, I just said that being smart when you are young may not be good when you are older. In the end, he and Su Shi accused me of not knowing how to peel chestnuts.
The past incident made me so embarrassed, but now it seems that I did say something wrong back then.
Brother Yun, my talent is solid and I am not showing off my intelligence. It was me who said the wrong thing back then. Yun Yue was smart when he was young, and he will be even better when he grows up!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Yun Yue is still half a bottle of water. There is no limit to learning. Mr. Junshi must not spoil him." (To be continued)
