The Wind Rises (1)

Luoxiao Mountain is majestic and undulating, from north to south, spanning thousands of miles.

This mountain is connected to Guangdong in the south, Jinghu Lake in the north, and more than 20 states in the four roads of Xiang, Jiangxi, Hubei and Guangdong. In ancient times, it was called "three seedlings", also known as "Chu head and Wu tail", which is a rare dangerous place in the world. The rivers under the mountains are narrow and turbulent, the rain is flooded, and the rain is broken into drought, and there are few people living in the mountainous areas in the years of the Song Dynasty.

After the Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry went south, the Luoxiao Mountain area slowly began to become "densely populated". Although there are swarms of wild beasts and many snakes and insects in the mountains, the poisonous insects and beasts kill people only to satisfy their hunger, and in comparison, they are far more good than the pacification envoys, operation envoys and warehouse envoys of the Great Yuan. Especially since the army came to the mountains, while exterminating the surrounding grass and wolves, the lives of the people have slowly become like a paradise.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance shattered the tranquility of Taoyuan. When was dressed as a Taoist priest and a general in silver armor and white robes, under the protection of more than a dozen guards, he slowly walked out of the valley.

"Okay, send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell in the end, General Lin, please go back, and the poor road will leave!" When he smiled and bowed his hand on the horse, he said to the person dressed as a general.

"It's still early, this bright moon mountain is private and bright, tactfully extended, and there is no morning that can't go out. We haven't seen each other for many years, and now the war is not busy, I'll give Brother He another ride! Lin Qi refused with a smile, non-stop, and followed When's side. Besides, Brother He sent me charcoal in the snow this time, I won't send you out of the mountain, and our old brothers won't agree to go back! ”

"It's okay, the virtuous brother is busy with official business, so he shouldn't be bothered too much. Since the virtuous brother insists on sending it, the foolish brother will be as he pleases, and it is better to obey his orders than to be respectful! When he smiled, he walked side by side with Lin Qi. I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Lin Qi, who has always been arrogant, looks much calmer in his speech and demeanor, and he already has the ease and calmness of a heroic man in his gestures. This style makes you want to communicate more with him when you are willing to do more.

"The big war is coming, you and I don't know when we will see each other again. In the past few days, he has been in the old camp in the mountains by Ximen Biao, and he has not had time to chat with Brother He in private. At this moment, I happened to be looking at my Luo Xiao landscape and talking to my brother at the same time. Great rivers and mountains, just use it as wine! Lin Qi whipped his finger forward, full of pride.

When it comes to Ximen Biao, when will he smile heartily, "This Ximen general, who has a fight with his old master Chen Hangyan, is indeed enthusiastic, not reasonable, but also mixed like a donkey!" ”

"Why, what kind of joke did Chen Hangyan make again! Tell me about it! Lin Qi asked with a smile. Counting the days, in a few months, he will be out for a whole year, and he is very concerned about what has happened in Fujian in recent months, and what changes have happened to the old brothers. This time, when Prime Minister Fengwen fate a large number of supplies to Luo Xiao Mountain, he made up his mind and inquired about some rumors and anecdotes. One is to reminisce about the days when everyone fought side by side, and the other is to make a plan for the future.

In the mountains, there are many generals, and Lin Qi is not good at asking too carefully. Therefore, he deliberately sent one ride after another, and made up his mind to dig up some of his own people's inside stories in the mouth of the person in charge of the enemy's situation in a hurry. For example, the whole army, such as the strategy of governance, such as the recent situation of Zou Wei and others.

"That Chen Hangyan, I will cooperate well with you, and I will beat you up after I return to Fujian. insisted that you took Ximen Biao away, and merged his subordinates, so that the prime minister could compensate him. Or, merge all the revival troops under his command into the establishment of the Broken Army. Or, to his brother, the same equipment as the Broken Army! When to laugh, talk about Chen Hangyan's various "rude" behaviors one by one.

Chen Hangyan was originally a heroic man, but he was impressed by Wen Tianxiang's ability and popularity. After returning to Fujian, he found that his revival army was trained by Uncle Zou Feng within a few months. Therefore, he simply gave up his original dream of competing for the world and decided to join the Broken Army.

"Did the prime minister agree?"

"It's the time to employ people, how can the prime minister not agree. He was given four targets, and he was appointed to the imperial court as the deputy commander of the Broken Army. Now Chen Hangyan's military rank is the same as that of Zou Fengshu, and they are both lieutenant generals. This guy is so happy that he can't close his mouth every day, and he rubs a few stars on his shoulders brightly! Straight to the eye! When he replied with a smile, with a faint pride in his voice, proud of the cohesion of the Broken Army.

There is a key point in when to skip the mention. It is a condition that Chen Hangyan put forward when he incorporated the Fuxing Army into the Broken Army. is that his men and horses are only ordered by the Prime Minister's Mansion and ignore the stubble of the imperial court. Fight for the country, not for Zhao Song. Wen Tianxiang deliberately downplayed these problems, but many generals in the Broken Army tacitly understood it. Many of them did the same. The matter of Wenpu Mountain and the practice of the imperial court completely chilled everyone's hearts. Many people who vacillated between the New Deal and the imperial system also stood firmly on the side of the New Deal.

The remaining people such as Zou Wei and Li Guida who still have illusions in the imperial court can no longer have much influence in the Broken Army.

The relationship between the two was originally good, and at this moment, there is a heart to catch up with the host and the guest, and they have nothing to talk about. I talked about the harvest and changes of everyone for more than a year for a while, and tasted the world for a while. Slowly walked out of the mountains and saw the plains outside. Thinking that the war is imminent, I don't know if I will have a chance to see you again today. When he clamped the horse's belly, hurried forward a few steps, threw his entourage away for a distance, lowered his voice, and said earnestly: "The ordnance sent this time, the virtuous brother should be cautious and save some use." I really handed over hands with the Tartars, and the next time I send a weapon, I don't know when! ”

Suddenly hearing this, Lin Qi was stunned. Look at when he looks solemn and know that he has something to say. Waving his hand, he asked the guards to move farther away, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't the prime minister sure to hold Shao Wu?" Back then, we had less than 10,000 soldiers, and the prime minister was still full of pride, and the siege of the city was unambiguous, why did he cower again at this moment? Could it be that when he heard that the Northern Yuan had gathered an army of 500,000, he was afraid? ”

"It was that year, and we had nothing to worry about. Now,......" when he shrugged his shoulders and sneered back, "Right now, we are breaking the Fujian Road, which is the hope of the anti-Yuan heroes from all over the country, how many pairs of eyes are staring." How dare you fight as you want like back then. Besides, facing the enemy in front of you, you have to guard against people at any time behind you. The Prime Minister's embarrassment, let me tell you, only more than then, not less than then! ”

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, and took thousands of men and horses to Jiangxi, and the communication with the rear was not smooth, and he was not very clear about many dark stories. Connected with some hearsay rumors, he was silent for a while, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Could it be that Brother He said that at the moment of the great enemy, there are still people who can't break the idea of captive army!" ”

"It's not just that it's still breaking the idea of the captive army, but those people's hands have never stopped. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's death, our army and the entire Fujian would have to be taken away and ruined. Do you know that when the Broken Army was besieging Suodu, someone sent troops to surround the Prime Minister's Chinese army...... "When did he stretch out his hand and make a chopping gesture."

"Really!" Lin Qi was taken aback, his eyes were round, and a few drops of water were condensed with sweat on his forehead. He had heard about it, but he had always refused to believe it. Deep down, I always thought that this was a rumor made by people with ulterior motives, but I didn't expect it to be confirmed in my mouth when it was confirmed.

"Of course, it's just that Dachun's rescuers came too quickly, and we need to break the captives to work hard, so some people have to stop!" When did he reply affirmatively, "Although after saying it, the prime minister tried his best to cover it up and suppress this matter." But in the whole of Fujian, who doesn't feel panicked. At present, some people in the court have failed to make a plan, and they have two plans, and they either want food or ordnance every day. If it was a little late, there was an impeachment fold handed to the Queen Mother. It's a dilemma for the Prime Minister! ”

When is it low, introduce the causes and consequences of some things to Lin Qi. He knew that Lin Qi was proud and even had a noble character, and he was unwilling to get involved in political disputes, so he chose to fight guerrillas in the range as a surprise soldier. However, when do I hope that through some facts, Lin Qi can make a smart choice between the Broken Army and the imperial court as soon as possible.

"Old Master Chen said well, some people read too many books, but they read their brains badly. I only know that there is a king, but I don't know that there is a country. Loyal to the subtleties, but lost the righteousness......."

"Well, that's a bit of a hassle!" Lin Qi looked at the mountains in the distance and thought thoughtfully. For more than half a year, he has been leading the army outside, dealing with the Northern Yuan army, local heroes, new annexed troops and bandit bullies, fighting wits and courage with others, and his mind has been much more meticulous than before. After being surprised, I immediately thought about the situation in front of me.

If the Broken Army and the people of the imperial court, as well as the Xing Song Dynasty and the Fuxing Army, join forces to advance and retreat together. The strength has been with the Tartars can be a game. Although the Northern Yuan puppet dynasty claimed to have an army of 500,000 in the rebellion, in fact, Zhang Hongfan brought at most 70,000 soldiers from the north. The rest are still the same people in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places. As long as you find a way to cripple the descendants under Zhang Hongfan, everyone else can be ignored.

However, if the imperial court and the prime minister's mansion each fight each other, they will be ordered to go out of many ways. This battle is a bit of a problem. At that time, not only did Qinwang's private soldiers like Mrs. Xu's Xing Song Army not know who to listen to, but even the two regular armies of Polu and Jianghuai could not care about each other. It happened to be eaten by Zhang Hongfan all the way.

There is only one solution, and that is to unify the command power of the armed forces. From this point of view, Lin Qi believes that there is nothing too wrong about the Wenpu Mountain turmoil that was reprimanded and what the imperial court did at that time. The army should be handed over to the state and the emperor should be in charge of it, so as to effectively prevent the powerful ministers from supporting their own troops. It's just that the emperor is young at present, and there are no qualified generals in the court. Lord Wen really handed over the Broken Army, I'm afraid it won't be a year later, and I will be buried by all the relatives of the country. Therefore, after Master Wen was able to get out, he vigorously reorganized the army, and firmly grasped the command of the Broken Army in the Prime Minister's Mansion by changing the order of military positions to military ranks.

"Hey!" Thinking of this, Lin Qi sighed, drew a knife and cut off half of the bamboo on the side of the road.

"The prime minister said that soldiers should be responsible for the country, not a family name. It's not a certain school, or the eagle dog of scholars, although we are all scholars and used to be scholars, but I think that the prime minister is right! When did I see Lin Qi full of worries, and I gave advice.

"I have my own plans for this!" Lin Qi put the knife in the sheath and waved his hand, interrupting the words. "If Brother He has time to go back to Fujian and see the Prime Minister, please trouble Brother Tai to speak for me, just say that Lin Qi and the people of Jiangxi swear allegiance to the Great Song Dynasty. It is bound to make a mess of Zhang Hongfan's back road, and he will never embarrass the broken army! ”

"It's good!" When he saw Lin Qi's resolute demeanor and knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, he smiled, changed the topic and said: "The prime minister asked me to bring you a message, saying that guerrilla warfare, the key lies in the word "movement". No matter what the circumstances, don't fight with others. If you can't support it in Jiangxi, you can return to Fujian. He will arrange for a large army to meet you. But you, as well as the old brothers brought down from Baizhangling, must protect yourself. In the future, our army will reorganize the rivers and mountains, relying on the righteous men who still do not change their minds at these most critical moments. They, regardless of whether they are high or low, are the seeds of national rejuvenation! ”

"The prime minister said that you have a very heavy task on your shoulders. He will arrange all the needs preferentially. Ordnance should be used sparingly. But treasure money you can spend from a wide range. Lord Du Gui predicts that the treasure money will soon be worthless, so if you can use the treasure money to buy off those powerful and new annexes, just buy it. How much you spend, how much he will send someone from Fujian to send you over! Brothers' lives are more important than money! ”

"The last general knows!" Lin Qi arched his hand to the south and replied movingly.

"Do it yourself!" When did he pat Lin Qi on the shoulder and tell with a smile. "Among the ordnance sent this time, the armor was newly designed by Xiao Zi by combining the advantages of Mingguang armor (Tang army), Luoquan armor (Mongolian army) and willow leaf armor. The bottom of the steel chain weaving, the key point is the stainless steel turtle wrench armor that can block the strong crossbow, which is light and strong, and is most suitable for cavalry. Wear one of your own, don't be pushy. After all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield! ”

"Got it, Brother He, it's wordy!" Lin Qi smiled and pushed him, putting the confusion in his heart behind him for the time being, "Brother He should be careful, come and go alone, and it is also a big deal!" ”

"I'm very safe, the little thief is not Ben Daoye's opponent. The big thief and officials from all over the country, if they don't give me face, they have to give face to the boss of Longhu Mountain and Haisha Gang! When he smiled, proudly pointed to the Taoist robe on his body, touched his waist again, and took out a bronze medal printed with Yin to show off.

"Haisha Gang, when did you collude with these smugglers again!" Lin Qi took the bronze medal and looked at it, and asked in surprise.

Longhu Mountain made great contributions to the southern crossing of Kublai Khan's army, and Taoist priests all over the world enjoyed the blessings. Remembering the merits of the dragon and the friendship between the ancestors and the Quanzhen Sect, after Kublai Khan became emperor, he exempted all Taoist temples from the field endowment, and ordered the local government not to embarrass the Taoist priests. Therefore, many of the scouts of the Broken Army are under the sign of Taoist priests.

However, the Haisha Gang was an outlaw who was incompatible with the government's water and fire, and when the Great Song Dynasty was not on the sea, these smugglers ganged up to smuggle and challenge the country's laws. As a magistrate in Jiangxi, he has cracked down on these smuggler salt dealers. Many smugglers hate it. Now, he was surprised that they had abandoned their previous suspicions and come together.

"Think about it, Lord Wen, who was the first Taishou to appoint, and where was he appointed?" When to put away the waist card of the Haisha Gang, squeeze your eyes, and make a fool of yourself.

"Old Master Chen, Quanzhou. Didn't you say that Quanzhou is rich in the world, Chen Laofu and Du Gui will go and reorganize the shipping. In the past six months, Quanzhou has earned back millions of taels of tax silver! Lin Qi's eyes widened and he replied that he really didn't know much about finance and economics.

"Where is Quanzhou, Mrs. Xu's hometown?" When did you remind with a smile, the words were full of pride as a broken army and a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Xinghua, Putian!" Lin Qi patted his helmet and suddenly realized.

The Xinghua Army is famous for being a land of projectiles, not because of its dangerous situation. Rather, it is because of its role in the taxation of the Great Song Dynasty. When the Mongols did not move south, one-sixth of the country's salt tax came from Xinghua Putian. The ordinary Chen family's original beach drying method of intercepting salt water at high tide and low tide is the key to salt production in Putian. Among them, there are eight steps: tide acceptance, tide storage, brine preparation, brine clearing, agglomeration, salt collection, piling up and exit, and each step contains a number of changes. It sounds easy to outsiders, but it is difficult to succeed without the guidance of the descendants of the Chen family. (Putian sea salt and Chenjia salt drying technology are historical facts, not fabricated)

The murderous king Suo slaughtered Xinghua, and the surnames of Chen and Xu were exhausted. also ruined the financial route of Beiyuan. Wen Tianxiang's subordinates beheaded the capital, and the Prime Minister's Mansion took care of Mrs. Xu's men and horses many times. Knowing the grace of the newspaper, the descendants of the Chen family who are living in various places will naturally give out the key methods of drying salt.

In order to make money, the officials under the command of Ahma not only arbitrarily increased the price of salt, but also often mixed four to six taels (at that time one catty was sixteen taels) of sand, and the people everywhere were miserable. Under such circumstances, the illegal salt trade suddenly flourished.

The Prime Minister's Mansion got salt in Fujian, so it was natural to sell it to the Northern Yuan. In order to make money, the Haisha Gang will naturally try their best to contact Chen Longfu and others. The interests of the two sides are the same, and the meticulous workers of the Broken Army can naturally rely on the protection of the Haisha Gang, and with the circulation of salt, water will seep into all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

"Brother, it's not wordy to be an elder brother. Think about it, since Master Wen woke up on Baizhang Ridge, he went down to Shaowu, Kefuzhou, took Quanzhou, and killed Suodu. Which step is not a wonderful hand with God's help. Seeing that he resumed shipping and skillfully set up salt works, all parts of Fujian developed like a long drought and a rainy day. The hope for China's rejuvenation is also getting bigger and bigger. That alone makes it worth following him! ”

"But, alas, what Brother He said is not unreasonable, but after all, I am a subject of the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Virtuous brother is ridiculous! If the prime minister is not loyal to His Majesty, why should he be angry with the relatives of the court. Even if the army is reversed now, the heroes of the world, how many people can say that the prime minister is wrong. General Zou cherished the imperial court, and almost parted ways with the prime minister that day. But after hearing about the incident in Wenpu Mountain, he didn't say a word about the court. But the prime minister refused to rebel and endured humiliation, for what reason, not the heart of loyalty and righteousness. And not for the land, the country! ”

When he pointed to the vast earth and said loudly, at that moment, it seemed to be facing the heroes of the world.

The wind is blowing, and the mountain wind is whistling and sweeping through the bamboo forest, like a song, like a tide.
