Carry the Tang king?

Li Luo glanced at Wen Tianxiang, knew in his heart, and said, "Mr. Wen, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

He believed that Wen Tianxiang's answer would not disappoint him.

Wen Tianxiang said loudly: "Back to the king, Weichen thinks that now it is enough to be the king, and he should also be called the king to win the hearts of the people in the world and boost the morale of the Han family." If you don't claim the title of king for a long time, people in the world will misunderstand that you have the heart of speculation in reducing the yuan. Even, confuse Tang Guogong and Yue Guogong! ”

Li Luo smiled slightly when he heard this, he knew that Wen Tianxiang would have something to say.

Sure enough, Wen Tianxiang continued: "But, you can't be the king right now!" It's not that I'm worried about the Yuan court attacking, because if the king doesn't claim to be the king, the Yuan court won't let me Tang go. But if he is the king now, and there is such a major matter involved, then the two important tasks of military training and clearing the countryside will inevitably be affected. ”

"It's a matter of Weichen. The king is the king, and the arrow is on the string. But it needs to wait for a while, and it should be after completely stabilizing Jiangnan and defeating the siege of the Yuan army, and then ascend to the throne of Tang. In this way, it will not delay the training of troops and clear the township, but also calmly prepare for the preparation, and it can also better demonstrate my Tang Weiyi and the favor of the destiny of heaven. ”

Li Luo couldn't help but listen to his head, he and the Wen family were really in harmony with the monarch and the ministers, and the words of the Wen family were also what he meant.

Of course, the so-called "slow reign and accumulate grain" is of course reasonable, but if Li Luo copies this set, it will be to carve a boat for a sword and seek a dead end.

This is not the period of division at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the strength of the Yuan court had dropped greatly, and only who could fight whomever could barely maintain the dignity of the court.

But now that the Yuan Court is so strong, Xiao Yin and a few other rebels can't hold it anymore, Li Luo just doesn't claim to be the king, and the Yuan Court will resolutely suppress it soon, and it will definitely not let go or slow down because Li Luo is not the king.

A "traitor" like Li Luo is more hated by the Yuan Court than the righteous army, and will he show mercy to his subordinates because he is "low-key"?

.

In this case, being the king will instead attract people's hearts, boost morale, and let the people see the banner of the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan court, and see Li Luo dare to fight for the world.

If you don't become king, you're... You don't even dare to call yourself the king, don't you want to recruit An? Lucky? Don't you dare to tear your face with Meng Yuan, and leave yourself a way out, trying to be the Duke of Yue Guo again?

In this way, not only will the people's hearts be gone, but even the morale of the Tang army will be greatly affected. And the Yuan army and the anti-Tang forces will be even more arrogant.

The so-called heaven does not take it, but suffers from it, which is probably what it means. If you refuse to be the king again, it will really affect the overall situation, not a joke.

Of course, the timing is not good for you to be king now. The time point that Wen Tianxiang said is the best plan.

Zheng Sixiao said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he will set an auspicious day. July 9th, Daji. Today is the seventh day of the fifth month, and there are still two months left, which is just right. ”

As a monarch, Li Luo of course would not immediately agree to Wen Tianxiang and Zheng Sixiao, but said solemnly: "The king, the name is also important, and the master should also be important, how can he add it in vain." This matter will be discussed later. ”

The so-called "let it be discussed later" means that it is agreed, not opposed. Then two months later, it will be a sure thing to be the king of Tang.

Wen Tianxiang saw that Li Luo agreed, so he said very formally: "The monarch is wise and resolute, the spirit is magnificent, the wall stands thousands of miles, straight to the ten thousand searches, the light of Nanyang, the Zhou Wen of chasing Xiqi, the foresight, outstanding in the world, and the majestic royal road!" ”

"The king of the king, then the heavens are obedient, there is a period of peace, and the people of Li are hopeful. If the king is not the king, then the world is alive! ”

Li Luo sat upright and said: "Yin Yin's words, few people have it." "Still no clear promise, but the meaning is self-evident.

Wen Tianxiang also saluted again: "The king Chana Yayan is a great good." ”

Lin Biju, Zheng Sixiao and other ministers also saluted together, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency Chana Yayan, great goodness!" ”

This is also a procedure of persuasion, the monarch and the ministers first establish a tacit understanding, and then after a period of time, it is a persuasion and resignation, and then persuasion and resignation, and finally it will be "reluctantly difficult" to accept and officially claim the king.

Although the generals didn't hear Li Luo agree, they also knew what it meant, and they all looked excited.

It's only been two months, and they can wait at all.

After three rounds of drinking, suddenly there was another thunderclap, and the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally broke out.

"Bang la-la-"

"Boom—"

The pouring rain poured down, and the distant mountains were suddenly covered by heavy rain, and the white water on the Qiantang River was vast, and there were no cattle and horses. The entire Wangjiang Tower is full of water and air, and the clothes of the maids are blown up.

What a heavy rain!

Seeing such a heavy rain without dripping pain, everyone felt refreshed.

Li Luo suddenly had some thoughts, and after a little deliberation, he opened his mouth and said:

"The heavy rain falls on Qiantang, the sky is boundless, and the Wangjiang Tower looks at it. With 80,000 miles of wind and clouds, where do you know? ”

"The past is traced back to the streamer, the history is green, and there was King Wu in the tide back then. The son of the Zhao family is not here today, look at me Datang. ”

As soon as this song "Waves and Sands" came out, Cui Xiuning was certainly funny in his heart, and the generals felt that the poem was magnificent and extraordinary, and it was really wonderful.

"Your Excellency has done a good job of poetry!"

"Good poetry! Wonderful! The son of the Zhao family is not here today, look at my Datang! ”

The generals applauded and praised one after another, not deliberately patting on the back, but really feeling good. The king is talented.

Li Luo has a black line. I'm Nima... It's not poetry, it's words! But if you really want to say that it is poetry, it is actually not wrong.

Wen Tianxiang and other ministers, although they also praised the "good words", but they were somewhat insincere. In their opinion, this song "Waves and Sands" is too straightforward, although it uses classics, it lacks the subtlety of contemplation. The artistic conception is worse after all

However, it is not correct to say that this poem is inferior. Especially for the monarch, this word is magnificent and sparse, ambitious, the emperor's breath gushes out, and wins with potential, although there is no elegance, but it has a true meaning, and it is also considered a middle and upper work.

As for why Cui Xiuning is funny in her heart, it is unknown to outsiders.

And Ma Zhiyuan, as the secretary, immediately recorded this poem and marked it as: On the seventh day of the fifth month of the fourth year, the monarch and the ministers had a banquet in the Wangjiang Tower of the Song Palace, which coincided with the heavy rain and was improvized.

But this man who was interested in poetry soon made a mistake again, so he had to stand up and ask: "Dare to ask your lord, what is the name of this "Waves and Sands"?" ”

Well? Li Luo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after a little thought, he said, "Let's call Wangjianglou to watch the rain." ”

So, Ma Zhiyuan solemnly recorded: The waves and sand look at the river tower to watch the rain.

After everyone finished the banquet, Li Luo explained some more things, and asked them to rush back to the garrison as soon as possible to carry out military training and township clearance, and especially emphasized that prisoners can be used, but they must be screened and screened.

The next day, Wen Tianxiang and the others left Lin'an.

…………

Guide Hall Lingxu Pavilion, Lin Biju and other ministers are reporting the latest statistical ledger to Li Luo.

“…… Because a large number of people are hidden by Haoqiang, the real population of Jiangnan is unknown. What Weichen got was the household registration register of the first year of the former Song Deyou, with a total of 4.8 million household registrations and a male and female population of 15.27 million. ”

When Li Luo heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head. The first year of Deyou? It's almost a decade of data, what's the use?

Lin Biju continued: "After Meng Yuan occupied Jiangnan, he never counted the population and acres, and it was all declared by local officials, which was a huge error. By the eighteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the number of roads in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was 2.9 million, and the number of mouths was 9.04 million. ”

What the?

Such a large Jiangnan with a population of only 9 million? He didn't believe Li Luo when he killed him.

Weichen thought that the population hidden by Haoqiang should be more than three million. For the sake of today's plan, it is necessary to clear the township and check the population and acres at the same time, so as to collect taxes. ”

Li Luo nodded, "In the cities, the people who are super recruited to understand the word arithmetic will count the population and acres in the states and counties, and re-register them. If our army clears one township, you will check one place. ”

"No!" Lin Biju took the order, in fact, he had all the methods, but he just needed Li Luo to make the decision.

Lin Biju said: "In addition, the land and waterway post stations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a total of more than 3,700 post horses, 2,800 post boats, and 2,200 post officers. It can be described as a huge system. However, I don't have a yamen to manage the post station, so please rule on it. ”

Li Luo said without hesitation: "The post station will be handed over to Bing Cao for the time being, and the boat and horse personnel will be handed over to Bing Cao for management." ”

Lin Biju also mentioned the last important political matter, "Your Majesty, the displaced people in various places have begun to give relief, and the ministers ordered them to raise the city walls, dig deep trenches, build reservoirs and embankments, and help transport military rations. However, many people who are not displaced also come to eat relief food, but it is difficult to screen. ”

Li Luo has already been reported by the Special Investigation Bureau, and it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people who come to "eat and drink". But Li Luo didn't take it seriously, these people pretended to be homeless people to eat relief food, and most of them were poor people, but they didn't become homeless yet. As long as they work, it doesn't matter if they have some food.

Lin Biju saw that Li Luo didn't care, and reminded a little anxiously: "Good teacher knows that although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are known as the land of fish and rice, but this year due to the impact of the war and the Qing Township, the agricultural time has been delayed, and the grain production will definitely be reduced. ”

Cui Xiuning couldn't help but say, "It won't be so serious, right?" There is a big gap between what Lin Biju calculated and what she and Li Luo calculated.

She and Li Luo believe that if they do not fight Fujian and Jiangxi this year and only occupy Jiangnan, they will receive a maximum of 2 million in relief grain, and they will still receive grain taxes in the second half of the year, and they will definitely be able to draw at the end of the year, at least they will not lose money.

And that's taking into account the impact of the war.

But now Lin Biju told them that in Jiangnan alone, they would spend four or five million stone relief grain, and it would be difficult to receive taxes at the end of the year, which really surprised the two.

When Li Luo heard the food, he immediately panicked, "Tell me, why do you need so much?" Now that it is less than June, the autumn rice can still catch up, why is there no grain tax? ”

Lin Biju smiled bitterly: "In April, I attacked Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was a critical agricultural time. In order not to leave grain and grass for our army, the gentry destroyed a lot of farmland, resulting in more than half of the summer rice compared with previous years. The king and the lady know this. ”

"And at the end of March, just three million Shijiangnan grain was shipped to Dadu. At the beginning of the year, Zhang Hongfan went south to collect 500,000 stone of grain in Jiangnan, and Wan Zhe fought Huanghua in Jiangxi, and collected 500,000 stone of grain in Jiangnan. It can be said that there is no grain in Jiangnan anymore. Your Excellency also knows this. ”

"Therefore, the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are counting on summer grain! But now the summer grain production will definitely be reduced, and there will be a famine this summer! In the event of a famine, at least a million people will become displaced as usual, as is customary in previous years. ”

"When there are more displaced people, there will be more relief grain, and there will be fewer farmers. In addition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang still have to fight, people are panicking, and the autumn grain production will be greatly reduced... Therefore, it is not possible to count on the autumn grain to be taxed and the deficit is settled. This year, at least 4 million stone will be lost. ”

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning understood. Compared with Lin Biju, they did not know much about rural farming, and ignored the practice of abandoning their fields to become displaced people when there was a famine.

Hearing that he would lose at least four million stones this year, Li Luo's heart and liver were hurting.

This is food, not gold or silver. Food will be in short supply for a few years.

Zheng Sixiao also said: "Your Majesty, there are more than 10 million people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the loss of 4 million stone grain is already good. As long as it stabilizes, Jiangnan will be able to collect 10 million stones next year. I still have 10 million stone of grain in reserve, enough to support it until next summer. ”

Li Luo said: "Lin Qing, how is the matter of buying grain?" You must exchange gold and silver for food as much as possible. ”

Lin Biju said: "Now there is no grain to sell in the south. There are wars going on in so many places, and it's hard to buy large amounts of food. Let's just say Fujian, one stone of rice has risen to seven banknotes, three taels of silver. ”

Li Luo sneered, "It doesn't matter, I still have a big granary in Tang, I'm not afraid of running out of food." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and laughed.

The big granary that Li Luo said is, of course, referring to the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan.

Their granaries were full of money and grain. Since they resisted the Tang army, they should perish in the Qing Township, just so that their money and grain can be used by the Tang State.

……………

The Zhao Song Imperial Palace only had a few hundred guards and a few hundred maids, so it seemed very empty. Li Luo had no choice but to transfer Yan Falcon's firearms regiment and the Huya Forbidden Army to guard the palace and protect safety.

Now the Tang army is scattered all over the place, and in the huge city of Lin'an, there is only one firearms brigade, one Jurchen cavalry brigade, one infantry brigade, plus more than 2,000 Modao Huya forbidden army, a total of less than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

But the security of Lin'an City is now excellent. After Li Luo became the lord of Lin'an, he issued an edict to take Lin'an as his line, suppressed a large number of corrupt officials and gentry, cleaned up the green-skinned hooligans, cleaned up the neighborhood markets, and the entire Lin'an City suddenly took on a new look.

The people of Lin'an finally got rid of the oppression of the Tartar government, and they are no longer inferior, they are all proud. In addition, the Tang army was strictly disciplined, and there was no crime in the autumn, and the Tang system was orderly, Vientiane was renewed, and it had the style of a dignified country, and it was more rejuvenating, which made the people more supportive of the Tang State.

During this time, the Shogunate of the Metropolitan Government issued an order prohibiting the shaving of hair and braids, the use of Hu names, and the wearing of Hu clothes. Those who violate the prohibition will be rectified immediately, and the violators will be punished with the crime of flattery.

For stubborn men with pigtails, "keep your head without braids, and keep your braids without your head." ”

At the end of the order, tens of thousands of braided people in the city rushed to cut off the two pig tails on their heads, and many of them suddenly became "monks".

In addition, Li Luo also issued the "Light and Thin Order" in the name of the prime minister.

The "Light and Thin Levy Order" stipulates that except for monopoly products such as salt, iron and tea, only two percent of the two taxes on agriculture and commerce will be levied, and all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the Yuan court will be abolished, and no one will have the right to collect taxes except for Hu Cao.

Except for major matters related to the life and death of the people of the country, the Tang State would not levy and issue forced labor without compensation, and those who were requisitioned must be compensated to reduce the burden of labor on the people.

In addition, it is stipulated that the rent shall be reduced, and the landlord shall not rent more than 40% after deducting 20% of the tax.

It is equivalent to tripling the income of the tenants.

How much was before? The land rent in the Jiangnan area is as high as 50% (average), which exceeds that of the Song Dynasty. The tenant took 50% of the output and had to pay half of the excesses and miscellaneous taxes.

If a tenant in the south of the Yangtze River rents ten acres of land, each mu produces two stones, and produces forty stones of grain in two seasons every year, which seems to be a lot. But if you have to pay twenty stone in rent, and then pay ten stone worth of tax (including money and silk), then only five stone remains.

Five stone grain, which is the year's ration for this tenant, how can it be enough to eat?

What should I do if I don't have enough to eat? and borrowed from the Lord's house usury to live.

What do you say, can't afford it?

It doesn't matter, if you can't afford it, you can't afford it, as long as you are obedient and honestly become serfs.

In this way, the landlord Haoqiang turned the tenant farmers into serfs by renting from the high ground and usury, depriving them of their personal freedom and controlling a large number of people.

With official positions, money and food, and population, the "wild emperor" in the countryside of the Yuan Dynasty was thus formed.

Therefore, in response to this, the "Light and Thin Tax" also ordered the prohibition of usury. All usury debts of the people are voided, and only the principal and low interest are repaid.

The "light and thin order" had a great repercussion in the city, and the vast majority of the people in the city were elated, which simply lifted the shackles on their bodies and made their lives better at once.

This is the politics of virtue through the ages!

The Great Song Dynasty has not had a moral politics for 300 years!

Tang Gong is really a benevolent monarch!

The people in Lin'an City are also changing with each passing day, and when they talk about Tang Guo and Li Luo, they are all respected.

"Zhao Guan's family is gone, we have been slaves for so many years, and we have suffered a lot. But so what? Tang Gong is back again! Our Lin'an people turned over, or at the feet of the Son of Heaven! ”

"Liu Laohan, don't talk nonsense, Duke Tang didn't ascend the throne and became the emperor! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it doesn't make sense. ”

"How does it not make sense? Housheng, you don't understand! Tang Gongzhi is restoring the Han family, benevolent and loving the people, strong soldiers and strong horses, that is to bear the mandate of heaven, ascend the throne and become the emperor, that is a matter of time. In two or three years at most, Tang Gong will be able to be the Son of Heaven, believe it or not? ”

"Brother Liu is right, Tang Gong is the true dragon emperor, and sooner or later he will ascend the throne. I heard that Xiao in Huguang what... Yes, Xiao Yin, also ascended the dragon throne. However, it is said that this person is the reincarnation of a snake, not a real dragon. But he was born to open the way for the true dragon. I think it should be on Tang Gong. He's speaking openly for Don! ”

"Who says it isn't! Zhang Banxian in the west of the city accounted for a big hexagram, saying that it was, five Jiao held a dragon, and the foundation was in Haidong! Where is Haidong, do you know? It is the base of Tang Gong in the sea. ”

"That's not right, five Jiao holds a dragon... Now Xiao Yin of Huguang calls himself the Emperor of Daliang and is a Jiao. Jiangxi's Huang Hua calls himself King Wu, which is also considered a Jiao, plus the Zhao Guanjia in Guangzhou, who is mostly unsuccessful, is only three Jiao! What about the other two? ”

"There are two more, I guess they haven't come out yet. Besides, Zhang Banxian may not really be so accurate, this is a heavenly opportunity, he dares to leak it? ”

"Just one thing, who is Wen Xianggong? That was Wenqu Xing's descent to earth, originally to help Zhao Guan's family assist the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Guan's family didn't need it. But now, Xiang Gong Wen is assisting Tang Gong, and Tang Gong has to be reused, so it can be seen that Tang Gong must be a real dragon. ”

"Jokes. Who is Tang Gong? That's a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, the descendants of Emperor Taizong, of course they have a mandate of heaven, so they can count it with Zhang Banxian's fingers? ”

"Well, don't talk about that. When it reached Tang Gong's ears, his old man may not like to hear it. Just say that at the moment, the business tax in our store has been reduced by more than half all of a sudden, and life is better. But don't forget, this is the grace of Tang Gong. If the Tartars come back, will we still have a good life? ”

"That's right! That's it! Don't let the Tartars come back again! We should do our best, don't call the Tartars to come again! Isn't the Tang Army recruiting new soldiers? Well, that kid in my family has a lot of strength, so let him be an army! ”

The people of Lin'an, Jiangning and other cities are talking everywhere, which can be said to be the people's hearts returning to Tang.

However, in the vast countryside, the impact of the "light and thin order" is much smaller.

Obviously, before the completion of the clean-up of the townships, the "light and thin endowment" could not be promoted in the villages.

…………

Wuxing, Shenjiawu Fort.

Wuxingnai is a famous county in the south of the Yangtze River and belongs to the jurisdiction of Huzhou Road. But when it comes to the Wuxing Shen family, it is not only famous for Huzhou Road, but also for the entire Jiangnan, and it will not be unaware.

Although it lost the status of the clan gate valve hundreds of years ago, the Shen family has ups and downs, but it has always been one of the few giant clans in Huzhou.

As long as you know that the Shen family occupies a quarter of Wuxing's fertile land, monopolizes one-fifth of Taihu Lake, and controls more than 20,000 people, you will know the strength of the Shen family.

For thousands of years, the Shen family has always been the head snake of Huzhou. In Wuxing, what the magistrate said didn't work, except for Daru Huachi, it was the Shen family who had the final say.

In the countryside of Wuxing, the head of the Shen family, known as the Wild Emperor, can be seen.

But at this time, Shen Ye, the patriarch of the Shen family who had been majestic for many years, was sitting in the ancestral hall with a sad face, discussing with a group of clan elders.

In the majestic and solemn ancestral hall, the ancestors of the Shen family are hung up, and the middle one is Shen Yue.

I don't know how Shen Yue would feel when he learned that future generations would change to the name of "Shen Ye does not flower".

Although it has long been not a family of the world, the Shen family has entered the government through the imperial examination and is still a scholarly family. The head of the family, Shen Ye, was a member of the household department in the former Song Dynasty. After the reduction of the Yuan, he once participated in politics in the province.

Seeing that Dayuan was in the world, and the children of the Shen family were also recommended to be sent to the officialdom, the old Shen Ye did not spend it, and finally returned to his hometown with satisfaction.

However, Shen Ye did not spend money to be a rich idler under the forest with peace of mind, but became a wild emperor.

As the saying goes, the wicked are merciful when they are old. It means that when the bad guy gets old, he becomes more benevolent.

But Shen Ye didn't spend it, just the opposite. When he was young, he was a merry man, and although he had the problems of being a rich child, he was not a bad person.

But when it comes, it becomes more and more fierce when it gets old.

The reason why Shen Ye Buhua became a villain was that the Yuan court government granted him the right to collect taxes on his behalf and pacify the township.

In less than ten years, the Shen family relied on the power given by the Great Yuan Holy Son of Heaven to expropriate and expropriate, steal and plunder, occupy the countryside, and accumulate a lot of wealth.

The Shen family turned their hands into clouds and rained in Wuxing, and the children of the family all lived a rich and luxurious life, and even used words instead of law to kill and rob the villagers. Many of the children of the Shen family act as the head of the village and act as a blessing.

In the former Song Dynasty, although the Shen family was also free, it was far from being compared with the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, the Shen family supports the Yuan Court from the bottom of their hearts.

But this good life is less than ten years, and Li Luo, who killed a thousand knives, actually rebelled! He also killed the provincial officials and mutilated the gentry, and this is worth it!

In less than a month, the rebels occupied every prefecture and county in the entire south of the Yangtze River. Now Huzhou City and Wuxing County are stationed with rebel soldiers and horses.

Seeing that the rebels were merciless to the gentry and sharp, Shen Ye was naturally afraid, and even had the idea of temporarily joining the rebels. But when he heard that the rebels wanted the gentry to hand over the encroached land to the small people, release the slaves and maids, and donate money and food, Shen Ye immediately became determined to fight the rebels.

He believed that the Great Yuan Heavenly Army would definitely fight back soon!

At that time, the thief Li Luo will be killed by the Nine Clans, and the whole family will be Lingchi.

What else is he afraid of?

As long as they persist until the arrival of the Great Yuan Iron Cavalry, the Shen family will not only be able to preserve, but also have merit.

"Liulang, how many rebels are there in Wuxing City? Have you inquired clearly? Shen Ye asked his nephew Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu stood up and said, "It was not easy to inquire and understand that there are five hundred people in Wuxing City and two thousand in Huzhou City. The entire Huzhou Road is estimated to be around 5,000, and the commander of the army is a woman named Yang Qingque. Tang Dynasty... The rebels are not many in number, but they are all elite and difficult to deal with. ”

A clan elder scoffed, "Hmph, Li Luo is really ridiculous, he actually made a woman a general, it seems that the rebels have no one to use, rabbit tail." ”

Shen Ye shook his head without flowering, his cloudy old eyes were very gloomy, "Don't underestimate women." The Ding family and the Qiao family were killed, isn't it a good thing that this woman did? I heard that southern Zhejiang was defeated by Chen Shuzhen, and she was also a rebel general. ”

Another clan elder said with a worried look: "Second brother, my family only has two thousand militias, although they have made weapons, but they have no armor, how can they be the opponents of the rebels' five hundred armor soldiers?" They have destroyed the other families, and they will soon come to Shenjiawu Fort. ”

Shen Ye's son Shen Ying also said: "The rebel artillery is powerful, although my Shenjiawu Fort is strong, it may not be able to stop it." ”

Shenjiawu Fort was built in the former Song Dynasty, and it has been continuously built over the years, and it is very strong. The funny thing is that it was still to guard against the Yuan army. Dock forts like the Shen family are everywhere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The end of the Yuan Dynasty caused a lot of trouble for the Red Turban Army.

Shen Ye snorted coldly, "Didn't the rebels claim to love the people? Isn't it something to buy people's hearts? Then let the people of the countryside guard the fort, and if they fire cannons and stones, they will kill the people first. ”

Shen Zhu said: "Uncle's clever plan! Also, although Wu Xingcheng has 500 rebels and controls the county government, after all, he still has to leave soldiers and horses to defend the city. Three hundred people can be dispatched at most. ”

Shen Ye slammed his cane, the wrinkles on his face became a little hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then fight!" The old man has 2,000 militia groups, and the people help me, so why be afraid of just 300 people! I don't believe that they are all Mongolian iron horsemen! ”

"Li Luo won't give me a way to live, and I won't give him a way to live! At most, a month, as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, see how he dies! ”

Another clan elder said: "If you don't think about winning, you should think about defeat first." Second brother, in case the Dock Fort is breached..."

Shen Ye didn't say: "Fourth, I know what you mean." But my family has so much grain, gold and silver, it is difficult to transfer it to other places, and it is impossible to hide it from people's eyes and ears. Only hiding in the dock fort and sticking to the dock fort is safer. ”

At this moment, suddenly a child of the Shen family rushed into the ancestral hall panting, "Uncle, the rebels are out of the city, they should be coming for my family!" At most an hour, it will come! ”

Shen Ye stood up suddenly, his old body seemed to be full of strength.

He threw away his cane, walked to the ancestral spiritual throne and knelt down and kowtowed, revealing his ugly hair braids, and said in a deep voice: "Ancestor bless! Bless the descendants of the unscrupulous to repel the thieves and protect the ancestral hall! Don't make the Shen family extinct! ”

A large number of people knelt down and kowtowed, and there were several of them, all revealing the bare tops of their heads and two thin braids around their ears. Shen Ye's eldest son was even dressed in Mongolian costumes, with big gold rings hanging from his ears.

After worshipping his ancestors, Shen Ye took the lead in leaving the ancestral hall and personally rang the bell of the dock fort, and suddenly there was a tidal sound from the entire dock fort.

ps: Qingxiang is indeed a bit cruel, but there is no way, these people are traitors with iron hearts, and they can only be exterminated. Thank you for your understanding. The votes are still a bit small, please vote, woo woo ~ troublesome. That's all for today, good night friends, tickets.

Qingyi literature
