Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Lin Jue pondered for a while and then said something.
"Brothers, the outcome of the war depends on many factors, and it is actually difficult to predict. Guo Xu and the Jurchens joined forces to use troops against the Liao Dynasty. This is not a simple battle, but a complex war between countries, and the result is even more...
It is difficult to judge by simple victory or defeat. In fact, in my opinion, the victory or defeat of both sides is no longer important. When the war begins, the sky will be in flames, and the world will become a pot of boiling water, boiling and scalding. When the war begins, it will also
A chaotic change has begun. What role we play in it, what kind of force we become, and what purpose we achieve are what we should consider. All brothers must brace themselves and be prepared to welcome this unprecedented event in a century.
Preparation for changes. Maybe we cannot control the situation, but we must not be bystanders, we will be participants. You ask me what I think about the success or failure of the war, but I want to ask you, are you ready to face this unprecedented situation in a century?
Has the situation changed?"
Lin Jue's answer was actually no answer at all, because Lin Jue didn't know how to answer such a question. He could only tell everyone in this way that no matter whether he won or lost, the situation would change dramatically. He could only inspire everyone to think.
The consequences it brings, its own positioning, and it is impossible to specifically answer the victory or defeat.
In fact, smart people have already gotten the answer from Lin Jue's words.
…
In the afternoon, Lin Jue took his wives and concubines to the gathering place of the Lin family in Linjia Village, Jiming Mountain. After having a cup of tea with Lin Boyong behind closed doors, Lin Boyong and Lin Jue walked out of the room with solemn expressions. The corners of Lin Boyong's eyes seemed to
There were also faint traces of tears. Lin Boyong immediately announced the convening of a clan meeting, summoned all the Lin family members, and gathered in the courtyard of the mansion where Lin Boyong lived.
Soon after, the Lin family members crowded into the courtyard, and the young masters from the third bedroom of the master's family were also there. Everyone didn't know what happened. They only saw the solemn look on the master's face, and knew that something big had happened.
People were almost here, and Lin Boyong finally stood on the steps and spoke. He announced with a sad face the news that Lin Jue had brought back that Lin Bonian had committed suicide by drowning in the river. For a while, there was a lot of crying and sighing in the yard. Although Lin Boyong
When Nian refused to follow the Lin family to Funiu Mountain, many people knew that Lin Bonian who stayed behind would be in bad luck. But when the news of Lin Bonian's death came, everyone was still sad and cried bitterly.
The two brothers Lin Chang and Lin Sheng beat their chests and beat their feet. Their wives, concubines, and children also howled loudly. At first, Lin Bonian was determined not to let them stay with him for their safety, and only stayed in Hangzhou himself. For Lin Chang and Lin Sheng,
They took refuge in the mountains while their father stayed in Hangzhou, which in itself was an unfilial act. But because of the special circumstances, they had to do this. Now that the news of their father's death came, they felt guilty and sad.
Lin Boyong wiped away his tears and stepped forward to comfort them. The two brothers cried and knelt in front of Lin Boyong and asked to go out of the mountain to find the burial place of their father. Lin Boyong had told everyone before that after Lin Boyong drowned and died, his body was said to have been buried by Chu
The local people in the prefecture scooped it up and buried it somewhere. The two brothers felt that the only way to alleviate their guilt was to find their father's grave and transport the remains back for a proper burial.
"Two good nephews, the reason why your father forced you to come here with us is so that you can live well and preserve the lineage of Erfang.
His bones and blood. If you go out to look for his burial place now, it will be like throwing yourself into a trap. The court eagles and dogs will definitely monitor you secretly. You must not be confused. This is also against your father's wishes. Our Lin family cannot have any more
It's a loss. The second brother... hey, his temper is too stubborn, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. You can't be impulsive. Think about your wives, children, and your mother, and you can't make any more troubles." Lin Boyong sighed and advised.
road.
Everyone also tried to persuade them, but the two brothers thought about it and realized that it was not realistic. Their father was dead, and now the two brothers became the pillars of the second family. The mother, wife and children all relied on them. If they died outside, it would be considered a generous uncle.
Merciful, but it must be difficult for him to have two children, an orphan and a widowed mother. So he cried sadly and stopped insisting.
"Two brothers, I must avenge this. Remember the name of the guy who forced the second uncle to commit suicide and humiliated the second uncle. He is Chen Bin, the commander of the troops and horses of the Imperial City Division. I will definitely capture him in the future and take him
I will also send people to find the burial place of the second uncle and take care of it secretly. One day our Lin family will still have to return to our ancestral home. The second uncle cannot be buried in Chuzhou, let alone here.
The fallen leaves should return to their roots and be buried in the ancestral grave in Hangzhou. In the future, we will move the grave for our second uncle and return to the ancestral home, and have a grand burial." Lin Jue also comforted the two brothers in a low voice.
Lin Sheng nodded with tears and said: "Thank you so much, second brother. I'm afraid you will have to take the responsibility for this matter and avenge my father."
Lin Chang on the side suddenly pointed at Lin Jue's nose and shouted: "What do you want him to do? It's all him. If he hadn't caused the trouble, how could our Lin family come to this deep mountain and old forest? Didn't dad not want to be a bandit?
The one who just stayed? He was the one who caused the trouble, and everyone had to leave their homes and come here. Lin Sheng, why are you begging him or thanking him? We have all been harmed by him."
Lin Jue's face turned pale and he was speechless. All the clan members also stayed in place. Although Lin Chang spoke with anger in grief, it was obviously a knot in his heart all the time. I am afraid that many people in the family also felt the same.
Thought.
Lin Boyong shouted hurriedly: "Lin Chang, don't talk nonsense?"
Lin Chang shouted: "Did I say something wrong? Our Lin family used to be good, but it was he who harmed us."
"Pa!" Lin Boyong slapped him across the face, causing stars to pop out of Lin Chang's eyes. Lin Chang covered his face and looked at Lin Boyong in a daze.
"You bastard, you actually said such a thing. Do you know how much Lin Jue has done for my Lin family? Do you know how much Lin Jue contributed to your father's affairs? Your father had an incident in the capital, which implicated the Lin family and almost destroyed it. If not,
Lin Jue has been around, my Lin family has long been torn apart, and your father has long been interrogated and beheaded by the court. Your father was deeply touched when he was alive, but you bastard actually said such a thing? Can Lin Jue control the changes in the court? Then Guo Guo
Xu killed his father and brother to usurp the throne, which brought disaster to Lin Jue. If he hadn't asked Lin Hu to rush back to Hangzhou at night to report the news, nearly two hundred members of our family would have died in Hangzhou. It's okay for you to be ungrateful, but to come and accuse him is simply rude.
.How will your father's spirit in heaven close his eyes when he hears your words?" Lin Boyong scolded sternly.
Lin Chang calmed down slowly and lowered his head in silence. Many tribesmen around him also spoke, scolding him for not being like this.
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Uncle, all uncles and brothers, the eldest brother of the second room is sad in his heart, don't blame him. The Lin family has ended up in this situation, and I really
I am responsible. I am not someone who shirks responsibility. It is indeed my position in the government that has dragged down the Lin family. I also hope that I can make up for it. I will definitely let the Lin family return to their ancestral home. Please rest assured. But regarding the death of my second uncle, I
I dare not take responsibility. The second uncle is a scholar, and a scholar has the persistence of a scholar. The second uncle himself has thought about the consequences of staying. In fact, he has already prepared it. Alas, it is only my fault that I failed to think of this beforehand and communicate with him.
But I swear that I will avenge this. I will not let go of anyone who harms my Lin family. I ask the head of the family and all my uncles and brothers to supervise me and remember my promise."
Lin Jue's generosity and self-blame touched the hearts of everyone in the Lin family. Lin Jue already had a good reputation in the minds of everyone in the Lin family. This time the family moved to Funiu Mountain, which indeed caused a lot of incomprehension and complaints in the hearts of everyone in the Lin family, but they also understood
, now they only have a way to survive by following Lin Juefang. Life in the mountains is not too difficult, but the emotions are a little different.
Lin Chang also calmed down and apologized to Lin Jue with tears.
Lin Jueze said: "There is no need to apologize. We are all the Lin family. We cannot write two characters "lin" in one sentence. If I, the Lin family, have something to say in person, we must not create any internal discord. This will make people laugh. Everyone, please
This place is actually the focus of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the mountains. Because your surname is Lin, you are all my tribe and family members, Lin Jue, so you should pay more attention to your words and deeds. I know you have complaints in your heart. After all, you left your hometown and came here. However,
The most important thing is that the green hills are still there and there is no need to worry about having no firewood. My Lin family will not collapse. As long as my Lin family is here, the Lin family will be revitalized. Without them, there will be nothing to talk about. My Lin family is also
You must have bones and backbone. Even if you give up your ancestral property and move your family, you should not join the ranks of the traitor who killed your brother and father to usurp the throne. Being his subject is a humiliation. Therefore, you should not feel sorry or angry, but should feel proud and proud.
Compared with other people in the world, my Lin family has made a choice that thousands of others cannot. This does not bring shame to the ancestors of the Lin family, but rather brings glory to our family."
"That's right, that's exactly what it is." Lin Boyong echoed loudly.
The Lin family members were encouraged. They themselves could not understand these truths. Lin Jue's words were based on the explanation given by their current psychology, which eliminated a lot of barriers in everyone's mind.
At that moment, Lin Boyong decided to hold a funeral for Lin Bonian. Lin Bonian's body was still in Chuzhou, but he still built a coffin, set up a mourning hall, and built a tomb to express the condolences of the Lin family for him.
…
In the next few days, Lin Jue held consecutive meetings to discuss specific matters after the imperial court sent troops to the Liao Kingdom. Gradually, the thoughts of the people on Funiu Mountain were gathered to the idea of vigorously developing equipment and building reserves to prepare for the coming changes.
1. In view of the fact that once the imperial court sends troops, the nearby state capitals will inevitably be unable to blockade Funiu Mountain, so they decided to send purchasing personnel to contact merchants everywhere to purchase urgently needed military supplies in the mountains. In order to speed up the construction of the Luoyan Army's armaments.
Lin Jue also requested that the weapons and firearms making workshops in the village will be greatly expanded. Craftsmen from outside the mountain will be recruited to the mountain with generous treatment. Lin Jue even told everyone that if necessary, these craftsmen can be forcibly captured from the mountain. Forced.
Let them teach their skills. At this time, there is no need to stick to some rules and regulations. The goal is to arm the Luoyan Army and enhance the strength of the Luoyan Army.
