Chapter 576: The wicked still need the wicked to grind
Killing Pig Alley is a dock area that is usually the busiest, with an endless stream of official and private ships. Sometimes it is loaded and unloaded at night, and the lights are as bright as day, but now it is much deserted.
Several large ships were parked there, waiting for the soldiers of the Southern Expedition to board the ships. They would go straight from the Bian River to the canal and then transfer to troop ships from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the heart of Jiaozhi.
On the wide river, the ship stopped at the shore, and the officer urged the soldiers to get on the ship.
This time we are only taking 20,000 people south, and the troop transport ship can load them all in just one day and night.
Yang Lin also led his bodyguards to board one of the ships under the respectful greetings of everyone.
When Yang Shaozai goes on an expedition, he always stays with the soldiers, and everyone is used to it.
But speaking privately, I still have some admiration for him. After all, he is a civil servant and is the most noble number one scholar. His willingness to work with the discriminated warriors is an attitude in itself.
Yang Lin is using his own body to change the empire's prejudice against warriors. The way of civility and martial arts, one strong and the other soft, cannot be missing either one.
On the one hand, the Song Dynasty went to extremes, causing many generals who could fight to become depressed.
After Yang Lin got on the boat, he looked at Bianliang City behind him. This time when he came back, he would start to become its real master.
Jingkang's shame was like a big mountain, weighing on him, making him work hard from the time he set his life goals, breaking through all the resistance and trying to make some changes within his ability.
Now it has begun to bear fruit. His New Deal is radical and reforms directly from the system itself. This is something that even the emperor of the Song Dynasty would find difficult to achieve. It directly damages the political, economic and cultural systems of this huge empire.
Perhaps only an unscrupulous powerful official like Yang Lin can carry out such a ground-shaking reform, such as a major operation that moves the muscles and bones.
However, no one who has succeeded in reforming throughout the ages has just laid down a road according to his vision, and then asked the people of the world to realize what he wants to do according to his ideas. Such a person, without power, is a visionary. If
If you have power, you can only harm others and wrong yourself.
Yang Lin could only guide and take action at the same time, using the power in his hands to forcibly reverse the future trend and cut off the alien races in the north. In the next few hundred years, there should be a blowout rise.
If you go against the will of God, what is there to say about complying with God's will? You can only cover the sky with one hand and make progress wantonly.
A big flag was fluttering in the wind on the ship, with the word "Yang" written on it.
With the sound of the horn, Yang Lin's boat took the lead to set off, and countless people on both sides of the Bianhe River stopped to watch——
Jiangnan, outside Hangzhou.
Yu Wenxuzhong looked at the prisoners being escorted, and sneered in his heart: Today's world has not yet reached the hopeless troubled times. Under the current situation, Zhong Xiang and Wang Jingang have no long-term business accumulation, and they have lost the support of the aristocratic family.
Without the response of scholars and scholars, without a broad base of common people, it is simply a dream to rise up in the grass and take advantage of the moment, to start from scratch and dominate the world in a short period of time.
At that time, Zhu Meng and Li Yan caused great anger and resentment, and the people were disillusioned. At that time, the people, gentry, and bureaucrats everywhere were in danger and complained to the court. Only Fangla could have such a big momentum. Now the place is stable, the officials are pragmatic and streamlined, and the people's lives are better.
It's getting better gradually, but the rebellious soil has lost its nutrients.
Nowadays, some of these rioters are deeply poisoned and have reached the point of hopelessness, and their hands are often stained with blood. Such interrogations usually result in execution on the spot.
Others were simply coerced and followed the rebels everywhere. Their homes were burned down by the thieves, and most of their family members died. They followed Wang Jingang like a walking zombie.
Yu Wenxuzhong was not prepared to be lenient to such people, and of course he would not kill them. Instead, he would send them to a labor camp for a period of time. Jiangnan was so badly damaged, there was too much work to do, and the projects were numerous and needed manpower.
He turned around and asked: "Which state capital in Jiangnan has not completed its mission?"
A young general nearby cupped his fists and said, "Go back to the governor, only Taiping Prefecture is left."
"Taiping Prefecture" Yu Wenxu focused his eyes, frowned slightly, and said: "That is a troubled place."
Taiping Prefecture, in a small rural courtyard.
It was cold outside, but a red charcoal fire was burning inside the house, which was as warm as spring. A strong, muscular man with a lewd smile on his face stretched out his big hand and touched a woman all over her body.
The woman looked at the burning charcoal fire, and her heart ached with blood. This was all the charcoal in the house, and she had to keep it for the winter.
Now that it has been burned by this evil man, I am afraid the whole family will freeze to death in the house this winter.
The evil man's palm slid from the woman's cheek to her neck, along the skirt of her clothes, and rested on her chest. "After all, my mother has nursed two children, and she doesn't have much meat on her body. It's all him."
Is your mother’s hair growing up here?”
"Your Majesty, please be gentle and don't ruin the only dress in the house." The woman begged softly with a sad look on her somewhat pretty face.
Her husband and son were all tied up outside, and in order to save them, she had to bend down and wait for the thieves.
Although the woman felt hatred in her heart, she could do nothing about it. These people from the Maitreya Cult often killed people.
In the pot on the charcoal fire, the only remaining food left at home was burning. At this time, a strong aroma was emitted, which made the woman feel distressed.
It seems that charcoal, clothes and food are all more valuable than gold. It is really difficult for a poor family in this world.
The evil man smiled lewdly, and just as he was about to tear him apart, there was a whoosh and a sharp arrow cut his cheek, and it was nailed to the wall behind him, making a buzzing sound.
The woman screamed, covered her head and rolled on the spot to hide. A dozen young men in short-sleeved uniforms poured in outside.
The first one, with some scars on his face, a tall figure and unusually cold eyebrows, was Yang Tianning.
"Hmph." With a sneer, Yang Tianning asked: "Huang Lishi, after I captured you for three days, you can still run away. Tell me where Wang Jingang is and let you die more happily."
"Your grandpa made you die unpleasantly!" The villain named Huang Lishi rolled to the ground and stepped forward with a simple knife to chop him.
With a bang, Yang Tianning dodged and punched him in the neck. Huang Lishi lay on the ground, splashing dust all over the ground, but his hands and feet could not move.
A few young men stepped forward with grinning faces, picked him up, and dragged him out of the room.
Only then did the woman dare to get up, climb outside, and untie her husband and son. The couple looked out the window. The younger son couldn't see it, so he secretly climbed to the door and looked out through the crack in the door.
I saw a few teenagers in the courtyard hanging the evil man on a tree and using an iron tool with claws and a few forks on it to scrape back and forth on the evil man's thighs.
The flesh and blood immediately eroded, and the howling could be described as heartbreaking. To the couple, this evil man was already a demon from hell, and they burst into tears.
The teenagers took out some unknown powder from their arms and lightly sprinkled it on his wound. After a while, the villain fainted and died.
Another young man went around his back and stabbed him randomly with a silver needle. Huang Lishi suddenly woke up.
"Say, I said, the leader went north."
"Where in the north?" Yang Tianning waved his hand to signal his men to stop and asked.
"have no idea."
"Cut out his hand tendons and hamstrings and throw him into the mountains."
"No, no, I really don't know."
Yang Tianning's face remained expressionless, and he said calmly: "I know you don't know."
Several teenagers laughed and dragged him on the ground. Yang Tianning turned to leave when he heard the door ring.
A child stared at him dumbfounded, apparently accidentally opening the door while peeping.
The child was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Obviously, Huang Lishi didn't treat him lightly just because he was a child. At this time, he stood at the door and looked at Yang Tianning, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Yang Tianning smiled at the child, and the couple were stunned. This ruthless person could also smile.
His mother quickly crawled over and took him back. At this time, his father finally looked like the head of the family and kept saying: "My child is ignorant, my child is ignorant."
Taking out a money bag from his arms, Yang Tianning tied it to a tree, turned around and left, chasing north.
"Boss, Huang Lishi is dead, and there are probably not many people around Wang Jingang. This guy can really escape." A young man said with a playful smile.
Yang Tianning twisted his wrist guard and said, "Even if he crawls into a crack in the ground, I will dig him out and kill him. My adoptive father will soon march south, and Jiangnan will not allow any more trouble."
"Young Master Nan Zheng, can we catch up?"
Yang Tianning raised his eyebrows, quickened his pace and said, "If you can catch up, you have to catch up if you can't."
Looking at Yang Tianning's back, the young man scratched his head: "These words are too profound, worthy of being the leader."
