The Wind Rises (2)

The wind outside the curtain was like a tide, and Lin Qi's mood was churning like waves.

His words before leaving deeply shocked him, and his mood could not be calmed down no matter what. The trend of parting ways between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Court is becoming more and more obvious, and I will eventually have to choose between them.

Although, deep down in Lin Qi's heart, he is extremely tired of this kind of political battle. However, he is now responsible not only for himself, but also for the thousands of brothers who follow him in Luo Xiao Mountain.

In all fairness, Wen Tianxiang does not do what people do, and he thinks that no one dares to think. In his hands, there was really hope for revival in the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, this person is magnanimous and broad-minded, and will never retaliate against someone because of differences of opinion between them. Uncle Zou Feng raised different opinions in person several times on the future belonging of the Broken Army, and Wen Tianxiang tolerated him. Such a hero is worth following.

However, the books I have read for more than 20 years no longer remind Lin Qi all the time to be loyal and righteous. The Son of Heaven is the king, and the officials are the ministers, and the king will be deceived by traitors and will do wrong things. However, qualified courtiers must observe the courtier's festival and not add chaos to the court.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty could not withstand another turmoil, and it is conceivable that once Wen Tianxiang declared himself in Fujian. The Great Song Dynasty will collapse with a bang, and this court in its twilight years can no longer bear any blows. And once the imperial court falls, the Northern Yuan Dynasty will have a good reason to proclaim itself the right thing in the world. Everything controlled by the Broken Army and Wen Tianxiang has truly become a thief and a target for the heroes of the world.

It is not a simple question of which side to choose, but it is related to many things and many outcomes. It is related to the overall situation of the entire anti-yuan, which makes people have to be cautious.

"Hey, if one day, the martial artists are still like the original, just fighting, and don't ask about these rights and wrongs!" Lin Qi patted the low table in front of him and thought sullenly.

On the surface, the current struggle for power in the Great Song Dynasty is only a struggle between three forces, one is the broken army created by Wen Tianxiang and him; One is the Jianghuai Army supported by Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu; There is also an armed group organized by foreign relatives and local tycoons, but in fact, the internal contradictions between the new policy and the conservative, the literati and the military generals, and the nouveau riche and the scholars are intertwined and intertwined.

This kind of struggle has begun since Taizu's cup of wine and released the military power, and there has been no result for more than 300 years, and for more than 300 years, the lives of countless heroes and heroes have been buried.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has been a pattern of scholars and emperors ruling the world together. Warriors are largely excluded from politics, and once they get involved, they don't end well. To a certain extent, this measure ensured that the Great Song Dynasty did not have a military general to support the army for more than 300 years, but it also led to the weakening of the Great Song Dynasty's national strength and repeated defeats in foreign wars.

Therefore, since the time of the southern crossing, there have been warriors who have tried to change this political structure, and as a result, they have all come at the cost of being ruined.

Scholars, on the other hand, like to talk on paper, and always whimsically let the warriors complete tasks that cannot be completed at all. When the mission failed, he shifted all the blame to the generals.

In this way, the estrangement between the civil servants and the military generals is extremely deep, and the greater the external pressure, the more intense the outbreak. Sometimes it can even be a drag on friends and family.

Therefore, some military generals, such as Xia Gui and others, immediately gave up their fame and surrendered to Mongolia after losing the battle. When they turned the tip of their spears, they were more eager to attack the Xing Dynasty than the Mongols. (Drinker's note: Ninety percent of Xia Gui's life has been fighting against the yuan.) He surrendered to Kublai Khan at the age of seventy-nine and died at the age of eighty-one. ）

In the middle of the line, the generals who learned the lesson went to the other extreme. Martial artists such as Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi absolutely did not tolerate literati encroaching on their military power, and even did not hesitate to use various methods to force Wen Tianxiang to leave.

Lin Qi is now a general, but before that, he had always been a literati through and through, a model of a scholar who was proficient in all six arts. So his thinking has been oscillating between tradition and practical needs. This is his own helplessness, and it is also the helplessness of many generals in the Broken Army.

The name of the paper, everyone was a genius back then. Now, they are all military generals. People who are both civil and military have always been the most dangerous figures in the Great Song tradition. Because the appearance of this kind of person not only subverts the image of military generals, but also threatens the national policy of governing the military with literature, and even has a potential danger to the imperial power. Therefore, the traditional literati, military generals and royal families could not tolerate them, and in the more than 300 years of history of the Great Song Dynasty, such people were not willing, or even died well. Yue Fei is like this, and so is Xin Qiji.

Yue Wumu entered the text with martial arts, and even began to interfere in the decision-making of the crown prince's canonization and foreign wars and this kind of scholar circle that can only be participated, so he must die.

Wen Tianxiang entered the military with literature, and in just two years, he created a powerful army of captives. Moreover, he is now going further, even following Wang Jinggong's example and challenging tradition with the New Deal. He committed the two taboos of the Great Song courtiers who must die. Therefore, neither the traditional scholar nor the traditional martial artist can accommodate him.

Therefore, the means of targeting the captive army in the court are more and more urgent.

If it weren't for the fact that the current strength of the Broken Army was too strong, if it wasn't for Yang Liangjie's excessive greed, if it wasn't for Lu Xiufu being moved by Wen Tianxiang's words, God knows what the ending of the Broken Army would be now.

But if it goes on like this, one day, the contradictions will always erupt, and the Great Song Dynasty will be torn apart by the contradictions that have erupted.

The mountain wind was whistling, blowing among the bamboo forests, as if thousands of troops were shouting.

Lin Qi thought depressedly, deep in his heart, it seemed that thousands of troops were fighting.

Many things that urgently need to be arranged can't be arranged quietly, and even Ximen Biao walked in and stood behind him, but he didn't notice it.

"General Lin, General Lin, what are you thinking. I miss my daughter-in-law, it's easy to do, which lady I fell in love with, I went to be a matchmaker for you, who dared to say no to his grandmother, Brother Biao, I screwed his head off! Ximen Biao, who had a big bald head but a beard, patted Lin Qi's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Nonsense! The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home" Lin Qi was flushed by Ximen Biao's words, and he refuted in a hurry.

"Don't drop the text with me, don't drop the text with me, I'm coarse and don't understand these elegant words." Ximen Biao shook his head, and his smooth head was blue and faint, shaking people's eyes. "I came to you, first, to say goodbye to you, the ordnance sent by Lord Wen, the part you promised to give me, I am ready to let the brothers move. Second, we have nothing to gain, and if we take your ordnance, we will give you something in return. I want to help you make a big deal before I leave! ”

"What kind of deal?" Lin Qi put away his smile and asked solemnly.

Ximen Biao was born in the rivers and lakes, and was inferior to Lin Qi in training the army and regular combat. But for sneak attacks, ambushes, digging traps for local tycoons, and beating stuffy sticks, he is far better than Lin Qi. The two have cooperated for more than half a year, relying on Ximen Biao's bandit methods to shock Jiangxi. Therefore, Lin Qi attaches great importance to his suggestions.

"Pingxiang, this place is the main road to Jinghu, Zhang Hongfan, the governor of the country, went south, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. My spies inquired that the grain and ordnance transported to Ganzhou on Jinghu South Road (Hunan) were now piled up in Pingxiang and Liling (Li) Tombs. If we fuck here, we can eat more than half a year. And let Zhang Hongfan not enter Jiangxi, and rubbed his sharpness first! Ximen Biao replied loudly, his eyes shining aggressively.

"That's a good idea, Brother Simon, don't rush down the mountain. Wait for me to find the staff officer, put out the sand table, let's plan carefully! Lin Qi's mood was also infected by Ximen Biao's smile, and he temporarily left the troublesome things behind. instructed his own soldiers to give orders to the staff officers, flipped over the map from the low table, and discussed it carefully with Ximen Biao.

As soon as the map was compared with the information in his hand, Lin Qi frowned again. Ximen Biao's idea is good, and Liling and Pingxiang are not far from Mingyueling, where he is currently located. However, both cities were dangerous places, with high walls and mountains on at least three sides, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack. So it is no wonder that Zhang Hongfan arranged to hoard supplies in these two places.

"Brother Ximen, look at ......," Lin Qi said, pointing to the dense contour lines on the Shen-style map. (Drinker's note: A map with height markers was invented in the East by Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty.) ）

"I know, a hard attack, without a hundred and ten cannons, bombarded for a few days, we can't enter the city. But after a long time of attacking, Dachun, the old bear, will definitely come to the rescue desperately. When the time comes, we can't beat the fox, but we will make a commotion! Ximen Biao stroked his beard, which had not grown long enough, and replied with a smile, as if he had expected Lin Qi to raise such an objection. Moreover, the cannons in the hands of the two of us combined, there are only a dozen. The mountain road is rugged, and moving around is not enough to work hard! ”

Hearing this, Lin Qi's eyes immediately lit up. Knowing that Ximen Biao didn't plan to attack hard, he raised his head and asked with a smile, "Could it be that Brother Simon has any clever plan?" ”

"There's no clever plan, but there's a bad trick! Pingxiang guard Yuan Gui is a party sycophant, and he only thinks about how to shoot Mongolians' sycophants all day long. Recently, there seems to be a Mongolian official to pass by, so the large and small minions along the way have splashed the streets with clear water, and the loess mat road. and vigorously expelled the outcasts and beggars from the city. Liu Xie, the general of Liling, is a general from a new subordinate army, and his local prestige is not bad, but a person like him has never been trusted by the Mongolian master, and he carefully clamps his tail every day, lest something go wrong and make the master angry. If we pretend to be a thief and suddenly rob the Tartar official between Liling and Pingxiang, the guards of the two places are afraid of being involved, and they will definitely rush to the rescue without their lives. When the time comes, let's catch one by one, and catch a pair of two, so that we don't have to worry about deception and can't open the gates of Liling and Pingxiang. As long as you open any city, those who can move will move away, and those who can be distributed to the people will be distributed to the people, and if you can't move away, we will burn it down, so that Zhang Hongfan will take him and slaughter my people! ”

Ximen Biao grabbed his pen and pointed heavily on the mountains on the map.

"Okay, just Brother Simon!" Lin Qi stretched out his hand and drew a circle at the location where Ximen Biao had pointed. No matter how the dispute between the imperial court and the captive army is resolved, his own guerrilla army on the periphery should fight this battle, because this battle is not for the court, nor for the army of the captive.
