Chapter 169 The revenge of a hundred generations can still be avenged
Qi Xuansu still had some thoughts after reading the Di newspaper.
Strictly speaking, this kind of matter is the main responsibility of Tiangangtang. As for cracking down on secret associations, it is relatively secondary. So will Zhang Yuelu be recruited?
This is indeed a problem.
It's useless to think too much. Firstly, Qi Xuansu does not have the power to change Jinque's decision, and secondly, Zhang Yuelu will not refuse such an opportunity to make contributions.
So Qi Xuansu put the Di newspaper aside and asked about rectifying the atmosphere.
Ke Qingqing followed Qi Xuansu and answered them one by one. He accidentally saw the set of collector's edition Xuansheng cards placed by Qi Xuansu on the table, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, His Highness King Jin organized a competition for Xuansheng cards."
Race."
Qi Xuansu was startled: "Xuansheng Card Competition?"
Ke Qingqing nodded and said: "We have already done this once last year. We sincerely invite card masters from all over the world to come to the Imperial Capital to compare their skills and decide on a card sage. Chief, since you also like to play Xuansheng cards, why not give it a try?"
"
Qi Xuansu is now different from the past. He wants to maintain his identity and dusts off his clothes: "What 'Pai Sheng' is, it's just a false name. What does it do to me?"
Ke Qingqing added: "It is said that there is a reward of 10,000 Taiping coins."
Qi Xuansu changed the subject: "But making friends with cards is quite a pleasure."
Ke Qingqing added: "The preliminary competition ended a year ago..."
Qi Xuansu suddenly felt that this stinky girl was holding back bad water: "Deacon Ke, can you finish what you said in one breath? Don't say half of it and leave half of it."
Ke Qingqing had no choice but to say: "As far as I know, His Highness the King of Jin has also set aside eight special invitation places, so that you can directly participate in the semi-finals without going through the preliminary round, just to deal with the situation of the principal. With the principal and our Deputy Palace Master Shi
It’s not just a matter of words? But the principal still has to go see Deputy Palace Master Shi as soon as possible. If he goes too late, I’m afraid all eight positions will be given out.”
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. I'll go see Deputy Palace Master Shi right away."
Qi Xuansu's signing room and Shi Bingyun's signing room are across a pond and across the rockery, which is very convenient. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Shi Bingyun didn't go anywhere and stayed in the signing room.
After passing the news, Qi Xuansu met Shi Bingyun.
"The great hero is here." Shi Bingyun smiled.
Qi Xuansu said humbly: "I don't dare to take it. It depends on you all for strategizing and dispatching well, and it depends on the officers and men for their orders and cooperation. I am just doing my duty."
Shi Bingyun motioned Qi Xuansu to sit down: "Don't talk to me in official terms. You got promoted very quickly. It's hard to learn these official expressions."
You learn very quickly. Whether you are a great hero or not, it doesn’t matter what I say, nor does it matter what you say, everything is decided by Jinque. By the way, I happen to have something to ask you.”
Qi Xuansu joked: "Did my promotion documents come out?"
Shi Bingyun said: "How to reward you is a matter for Master Donghua. What I'm talking about is another matter. Have you read today's Di newspaper?"
The smile on Qi Xuansu's face faded, and he nodded: "I saw it."
"What do you think?" Shi Bingyun asked.
Qi Xuansu asked tentatively: "Deputy Palace Master Shi is talking about Fenglinzhou?"
Shi Bingyun said: "That's exactly what happened."
Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment and said: "The Taoist sect should use a large number of troops. After all, no one dares to bear the crime of losing land and abandoning it. That will be infamous for thousands of years. But in what name will the troops be sent?"
Shi Bingyun tapped the table with his fingers: "In the thirty-fifth year, Chu attacked Sui. Sui said: 'I am not guilty.' Chu said: 'I am a barbarian.' Our Taoist sect has always claimed to be civilized, but of course we cannot call ourselves barbarians. Back then, the Taoist sect
The reason why we were able to attack Xiujing City and force the regent Guan Bai of Fenglinzhou to sign an alliance was because during the previous Wei Dynasty, Japanese pirates repeatedly plundered the southeastern coast of our country and other places."
"In Lingnan alone, in the eleventh year of Hongwu in the previous dynasty, the Japanese pirates killed thousands of people and robbed more than a thousand women and men. In the nineteenth year of Hongwu, the Japanese invaded Danfu, Xinying, and Yangpu; in the twentieth year, they invaded again.
Qiong Mansion; in the ninth year of Chongwen, the eighth year of Xuanguang, the ninth year, the first year of Chengde, the fourth year of Yongzhen, the twelfth year of Zhengxi, the thirty-fifth year of Ming Yong, and the thirty-seventh year, the Japanese pirates invaded Chengmai, Lingnan.
Thirteen times in Gao Shang County. Tens of thousands of our people were killed and tens of thousands were taken captive to overseas islands to be used as hard labor."
"This is just Lingnan, there are also Jiangzhou, Chuzhou, Minzhou and other places. The number of people killed and injured may be hundreds of thousands, and the number of people taken captive may also be hundreds of thousands. There are also those who must not
The number of people who did not leave their homes and homes numbered in the millions, and they lost countless money."
"It wasn't until our Daomen began to vigorously develop maritime trade, and the Qingwei line formed a fleet to clear the sea, that we gradually stopped hearing about the Japanese pirates."
"Gongyang said: 'Can we still avenge the hatred of the ninth generation?' The Holy Master said: 'The king's way is restored, respect the king and resist the barbarians. The hatred of the tenth generation can still be avenged.'"
"The honor of a gentleman can be killed in five lifetimes. If it is a personal enmity, then you should not seek revenge after five lifetimes. But if it is a national feud, you can still avenge it in nine, ten, or a hundred lifetimes. So our Taoist sect flew to the city in a flying boat.
, blasted through their castle tower and forced
To make them surrender is not to bully the weak, but to make them plunder and kill millions of people along the coast of our country."
"But the lords and warriors in Fenglinzhou think that we are an invader and an unjust teacher, and they have repeatedly rebelled. It is just that their interests have been violated. It is tolerable, but what is intolerable. So Jinque has passed
Preliminary decision is made to respond to the invitation of Prime Minister Bai of Fenglinzhou Guan and send troops to help him quell the domestic rebellion."
Qi Xuansu was not surprised. Maybe the message from Jinque had been written, and he was more interested in the other two issues.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Will the imperial court also send troops? Who will lead the troops of Daomen?"
"The imperial court will send the Donghai Navy to assist." Shi Bingyun replied, "As for who will lead the troops, Jinque has not yet reached an agreement."
Although Cihang is the real person in charge of Tiangang Hall, this position is similar to the Minister of the Ministry of War. He is mainly responsible for peacetime military management, deployment, or the appointment and dismissal of military officials. If a large army goes on an expedition, a general must be selected to bear the seal of general.
The title of general is not permanent. It is a temporary official position. The seal of general must be handed over after the war. The general has great power and can control all military and political powers in the war zone, and control the governors and governors in the war zone. There are few military departments.
The minister was appointed as the general, and Qi Xuansuwen's candidate to lead the army was actually the candidate for the "general".
Of course, the Taoist sect would not call it "general", but is generally called "the political order of a certain place's military instructor, mechanics, Taoist spirit officer, flying boat", also known as "the real person in charge of the army".
Shi Bingyun continued: "In my opinion, although the final decision has not yet been made, the situation is already obvious. Most likely, Master Qingwei will be the 'Master in Charge'."
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "How do you say this?"
Shi Bingyun said: "What is the most important thing about the expedition? It is the logistical supplies. There are only two places closest to Fenglinzhou, one is Liaodong and the other is Qizhou. Is it easier to transport supplies from the south of the Yangtze River to Liaodong? Or to
Is Qizhou easy? So Qizhou will definitely become a transit point for the army’s logistics supplies, and who owns Qizhou? Judging from the current life-and-death situation of the three roads, if someone else is appointed as the real person in charge of the army, Taiping Road will only need
Setting up obstacles at all times in Qizhou and imposing constraints at every turn will very likely result in the army being defeated in Fenglinzhou. Regardless of whether it is led by Immortal Cihang or Immortal Donghua, after such a defeat, they will completely miss out on the title of Grand Master.
That’s right. Only Master Qingwei leads the troops on an expedition, and his backup will not be restricted. This is one of the reasons.”
"The imperial court has three major naval divisions. Zhengyiyi is very influential in the Nanhai Navy, because the predecessor of the Nanhai Navy is Zhengyi's fleet. Taipingdao is quite influential in the East China Sea Navy, because the predecessor of the East China Sea Navy is Taiping
Taoist ship
Team. This time to use troops against Fenglinzhou, the imperial court must dispatch the Donghai Navy to cooperate. If someone else is appointed as the real person in charge of the army, it may be difficult to mobilize the Donghai Navy, and there may be a situation where the Donghai Navy is used in an over-the-top manner. It can be replaced by Qingwei
It will be different if the real person takes charge of the army. There are many members of the Li family in the Donghai Navy. They dare not disobey the orders of the future head of the family. Naturally, they can command like an arm. That's the second thing."
After Qi Xuansu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's better than ten years of reading."
Shi Bingyun said with a smile: "Now that Master Donghua has taken the limelight, it is now Master Qingwei's turn. The feudal lords in Fenglinzhou are unlucky. They feel that the three Taoist sects are fighting among themselves and have no time to take care of them, but they did not expect Master Qingwei to want to take care of them.
Use them to gain merit, there is no room for failure in this battle, and Taiping Dao will definitely put all its efforts into action."
"Let me remind you, Zhang Yuelu will most likely go out with the army. Not only Zhang Yuelu, but also many young people from Zhengyi and Quanzhen Taoism will go with the army. Firstly, they are greedy for military exploits, and secondly, they will serve as hostages in disguise. Taiping Taoism also
I'm afraid that if I am right, Quanzhen Tao will be constrained."
Qi Xuansu could only listen.
It has to be said that Shi Bingyun is still very knowledgeable and worthy of being a Jurchen who almost became Cihang.
Shi Bingyun suddenly remembered something: "By the way, why did you come to me?"
Qi Xuansu briefly talked about his intention to participate in the Xuansheng Card Competition.
Shi Bingyun had no objection: "It just so happens that if you can get 10,000 Taiping money, it will be considered as a good thing and the money will not go to outsiders. I will tell Lao Qin."
After Qi Xuansu thanked him, he left Shi Bingyun's signing room.
Four days later, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Qi Xuansu took his own set of collector's edition Xuansheng cards worth five thousand Taiping coins and confidently went to the main Taiping Inn to participate in the Xuansheng Card Competition.
When Qi Xuansu thought about it, he had "innate divine calculation". Even if he was not very skilled, how could he be accurate when counting cards? But he never expected that his first opponent would be Yao Pei, who was just recovering from a serious injury.
God knows why Yao Pei came to participate in this kind of competition. Does she care about the false reputation of "Pai Sheng"? Or does she care about a mere 10,000 Taiping money?
Is it just for fun?
Qi Xuansu found that Yao Pei was slightly different from the past. He seemed to have a little more humanity?
Yao Pei didn't talk nonsense to Qi Xuansu, and took out a pair of sparkling Xuansheng cards, which almost blinded Qi Xuansu.
The final result is that "innate divine calculation" is defeated by "heavenly calculation".
Qi Xuansu achieved good results and tied for 32nd place with fifteen other people.
