Chapter 1 Whispering
Lu Zifei thought in his heart that it should be over, right? A powerless lawyer on the earth came to the Great Song Dynasty, and before he could figure out the reason for the matter, he joined the army instead of his younger brother, not because he wanted to replace, because he just crossed over and couldn't accept such an identity, and took the initiative to ask to come, I used to watch the generals in TV and movies commanding thousands of troops, standing on the city wall or sitting on the Taishi chair, pointing to the enemy, the enemy was wiped out, and on the way to the battlefield, he dreamed that he might be able to become a general, how majestic! Like the protagonists in other time-traveling novels, Wang Bazhi's anger shocked the world, as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, the enemy was all scared and urinated, but after you came to the real battlefield, you knew that it was all fucking bullshit, either you killed someone, or someone killed you, a dead person in front of you You can still pretend to be calm, when thousands of corpses are in front of you, the atmosphere of the military camp plus your own psychological effect, for a person who goes to the battlefield for the first time and does not pee his pants, you are a hero, fortunately, Lu Zifei is a box soldier, not belonging to the combat unit sequence, In the barracks for three years, I didn't do anything, just engage in logistics, cooking, feeding horses, repairing weapons, only you can't think of it, digging toilets is also yours, non-stop running with the army, Shaanxi, Gansu is almost finished, changing the commander is like changing clothes, those who have more orders don't know who to listen to, experienced three battles, all lost, and did not add the halo of the protagonist because of their arrival, the defeat of history continues, the battle of Haoshuichuan has just ended, and the Song army was run all over the mountain by the party like a rabbit.
After three years of side knocking, Lu Zifei finally determined what kind of dynasty he was in, the year he crossed was the year of Song Baoyuan, and now it is the first year of Qingli, these two era names are the years of the emperor who really achieved the word "benevolence" in history, Song Renzong - Zhao Zhen, Renzong will not do anything, but he will be the emperor, delegate power when he is young, make decisions on major matters, and play hundreds of officials in the palm of his hand, which is the evaluation of him by later generations.
If the Tang Dynasty is a paradise for extramarital lovers, then the Song Dynasty is a paradise for scholars, Dingchuan Village, Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan three years of three major battles of the dead generals are countless, Guo Zun, Liu Ping, Wang Qi, Ren Fu, etc., Lu Zifei was Guo Zun's soldiers at the beginning, but in the past three years, no important literati died on the battlefield, the original Shaanxi Zhizhou Fan Yong only changed his place after the defeat of the battle, and still did Zhizhou, Xia Zhu, as the main person in charge of the three major battles, had no responsibility, but was promoted from Jingyuan Qin Feng to the Shaanxi Metropolitan Deployment and Shaanxi Economic Strategy to pacify and recruit envoys, and handed over all the chassis and men and horses under Fan Yong's jurisdiction to him. If this doesn't tell the story, for another example, the minister can quarrel with the emperor in the court, can drag his dragon robe, can splash spit stars on his face, can expel the woman he likes from the palace again and again, Renzong did not kill an official above the third rank during his reign, he is an enlightened emperor, so it is a happy thing to travel through his dynasty, there is a premise that you must be a literati, and the military general will not have this treatment.
"Xiucai, what are you thinking? I asked you several times but didn't speak. He turned his head and saw that it was Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang's name is Wang Chao, he is a veteran who retired from the forbidden army, he has taken good care of him since the first day Lu Zifei stepped into the barracks, and Uncle Wang saved him several times when he escaped under the crossing of the party, in fact, Uncle Wang is not very old, he is just forty years old this year, due to the long-term work and war in the north, the climate in the north is very dry, he looks dark-skinned, bearded, and people mistakenly think that he is very old.
"Uncle Wang, you said that you should let you be a rough man who fights a war to treat people, can you be a langzhong?"
"Of course not, the cows and sheep in the village can't be seen when they are sick, how dare they show it to others, it's strange if they don't die, why are you asking this." Wang Chao looked at Lu Zifei with a strange expression and replied.
"Then why does the emperor want to let those rhetorical and paper-based ministers command the battle, don't we have generals in the Great Song Dynasty?" When Wang Chao heard Lu Zifei say this, he glanced around, and when he saw that he didn't come to him, he covered his mouth, "Are you crazy?" In the past, I used to say those inexplicable words in the barracks, but now there are officials everywhere, and they are talking nonsense, this is the rule set by Taizu, to control the martial arts, this is the ancestral system, there is no martial artist in our Great Song Dynasty who can lead the troops to fight alone, except for the Taizu Dynasty, you are lucky, there is one of the generals who is the same as you, and it is also a substitute for his younger brother, he is a tattoo to fill the army, you have the title of Xiucai, and you have escaped this catastrophe, otherwise you are really inferior to him, if that is the case, your life will basically be ruined. ”
"Uncle Wang is talking about Di Hanchen, General Di Qing" "Oh, I didn't expect you to know a lot, it's General Di Qing, Uncle Wang can see that you are a child with ideas, although you can't go on the field to kill the enemy, but the advice you gave us made us survive, I dare to say that these hundreds of people together are very grateful to you, but these big-headed soldiers can't give you any help, you really want to get ahead, outside the Donghua Gate, the eternal roll call is your real way out, you are the first few battles you have personally experienced, is the soldiers do not contribute? You saw the death of Guo Zun and Wang Qi with your own eyes, they didn't retreat a single step, and died in the chaotic arrows, then, the problem is there, the forbidden army is in Taizu, Taizong Dynasty does not say, even Zhenzong also fought to the death with the Liao people, Renzong Dynasty was beaten like this by a descendant of a three-family surname slave (this three-family surname slave is the grandfather of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Western Xia, Li Jiqian), you are a scholar, Uncle Wang is a rough man, you understand the truth better than me, a few nights I saw you secretly pay tribute to them, and the next morning I got up with red eyes like apples, and told us that you miss your mother, it's not that we are hard-hearted, but we don't have the ability to change all this, this time the matter is over, your charges will be completely cleared, and you will read a good book after you go back, Uncle Wang hopes to hear your name outside the Donghua Gate. ”
"Uncle Wang, you look down on me, what's going on in front, why is it so noisy." Wang Chao also wondered, this place is very close to the military camp, ordinary people are not allowed to come over at all, what is the matter today, take Lu Zifei's hand and "Let's go over and have a look together" This scene seen when he got closer may remain in Lu Zifei's heart for the rest of his life.
Thousands of people dressed in linen and wearing filial piety, most of them were women and children, the elderly, children, holding spirit flags, throwing paper money, climbing the horse of a young man in his thirties, shouting his name: "Han Xianggong, my son went out with you, and now you are back, where is my son?" "These are the bereaved families of the soldiers who died in the battle of Haoshuichuan, the young man burst into tears, and he couldn't say a word, he was ashamed of those heroic souls who died in battle, was it really my mistake?
Wang Chao saw that Lu Zifei didn't know the young man in front of him, and explained to him, "This is the person who is the main battle of the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and is also the supreme military commander of the Battle of Haoshuichuan, Han Qi and Han Xianggong. Lu Zifei's mind is now in chaos, he doesn't want to know anything Han Xianggong at all, the fathers and villagers in front of him are whose fathers, whose mothers, whose wives and children, Yuanbao came to Shaanxi in the Great Song Dynasty until now, has been looking down on all this with the attitude of a bystander, as a traverser, the arrogance in his bones is not comparable to the people of a thousand years ago, he thinks that he is just a passerby who comes and goes, just live this life calmly, many times he himself can't tell whether this is in a dream or reality, And this heart-rending call proves that all this in front of him really exists, should he do something, if he dies, will there be a father and mother among these people today, the day he left home, the mother cried goodbye with tears, the father was silent, holding his head with his hands and his younger brother's earnest eyes, Xixia is close to Shaanxi, the next time the party calls, can the family be as lucky as this time? is too passive, first of all, you have to leave this land of right and wrong and make a short plan for the rest of your life.
"Uncle Wang, let's go back" After speaking, he left, and didn't look at Wang Chao behind him to catch up, he was silent all the way, and returned to the tent "Uncle Wang, you call Uncle Li and Uncle Tian and a few of them over" As Wang Chao walked out of the tent, several big men came in after a while, "Xiucai, everyone is here, just say something you have?" ”
Lu Zifei, who came back to his senses, glanced at the people in the tent, and then said, "Thank you uncles for taking care of me in the past three years, in my judgment, the Songxia War will stop for a while in the next few years, do the uncles have any plans?" ”
"What else can we do, except to go to the battlefield is to go home to farm, Feng Xiang can be a little better, and even if it is farther away, there is no land to plant, the situation at home of the rest of the people is similar to mine, Xiucai, you have a good brain, what are your good ideas."
Shaanxi people are right, such a strong accent is difficult for people not to know, and there is a sense of intimacy when you listen to it. "Uncle Tian, don't call me Xiucai in the future, it sounds weird, just call me Zifei, I have one idea, but I don't know how many uncles are willing to listen?"
At this time, Wang Chao spoke, he had been a forbidden army, he had stayed in Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and he had seen more than others, "Xiucai, you say, as long as it works, I will make the decision for them, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad now, everyone's military service is also full, and you can live a good life in the future." "Yes, what Brother Wang said is also what we want to say" The voices of gossip came and went.
"A few uncles can trust me, then I will say, the situation in the northwest is now erosive, it is difficult to do anything in Shaanxi, everyone has been a soldier, nothing else, so I suggest that we set up a trading house, with General Zhang to protect us, it is better than facing the loess and turning your back to the sky to dig food, Uncle Wang, what do you think." Lu Zifei thought of the easiest way to do this, after all, no business is not rich.
When I heard that it was business, everyone hesitated, the words "scholar", "farmer", "industry", and "businessman" were deeply ingrained in the minds of the people, businessmen had no status, and the Song Dynasty was even more proud of reading, which is the reason why everyone hesitated, Wang Chao knew that there was nothing to do business, and the big family did not do business, but they did it more secretly, "Xiucai, you said that we are in business, do you have any regulations?" ”
"Uncle Wang, do you remember the incident when I made the salt and sugar we ate whiter?"
"Remember, I remember I asked you if it was a trick, and in the end you told me that it was very simple, I thought it was your own secret, so I didn't say much."
"That's what we're going to do"
