Chapter 077: Meet Again
What Zhi Yuexiu didn't expect was that Wang Song was not in the military camp now, but in Licheng County.
Zheyuexiu breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly resented in her heart. I have worked hard, running thousands of miles back and forth, but I can't even see the face of the main master.
Seeing the arrival of a large number of food and rewards aided by the imperial court, Deng Shixiong impatiently came out of the barracks, smiling and looking like a miser.
He was originally a farmer, and although he was also a householder, he could never get out of the scope of fields and grain.
He hurriedly stepped forward, commanded the sergeant, and put the grain and reward in the book, and put it in the baggage storehouse.
"Brother Deng, look at the way your eyebrows are dancing, as if you haven't seen anything! The Loyal Righteous Army won't be poor like this, right?"
Looking at Deng Shixiong's happy appearance, his honest face was full of smiles, and Zhi Yuexiu couldn't help but quip.
"Three boatloads of rice, more than 2,000 stones, the army can eat for almost a month!"
Hearing Zheyuexiu's words, Deng Shixiong immediately shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from the little lady, if we loyal and righteous brothers use it ourselves, it will be almost enough!" But the big officials couldn't see the people suffering, and often went to help some poor people, especially children, so there was nothing left over food! ”
He raised his head and said happily: "But now it's okay, you have sent these things here, and the brothers finally don't have to worry about being hungry!" I see you still have armor and clothing in you, and the brothers finally have a change of clothes!"
At this time, Zheyuexiu noticed that Deng Shixiong was still wearing an iron armor, and there was a faint smell coming out of it.
The climate is so hot, but he doesn't have a single shirt, it seems that the life of the loyal army is not easy.
"Brother Deng, there are 3,000 pieces of single clothes here, you can find one and change it into yourself!"
Zhi Yuexiu shook her head, the thing Deng Shixiong wore was equivalent to taking a sauna in summer, it was too hot.
"Thank you for folding the little lady, but these are all heavy materials in the army, all of them are on the books, and no one can move around, otherwise it will be a capital crime!"
Deng Shixiong looked serious, and quickly shook his head and said: The villain is wearing thin iron armor now, and it is already calculated. When many brothers trained, they wore all the iron armor on their bodies, but there were no thin clothes inside, and the iron armor in the sun was hot, and their skin was burned, and they didn't dare to say anything. The officials knew about it, so they ordered that when the sun was exposed, they should not wear iron armor for training. ”
Orizuki couldn't help but shake her head. Before the Battle of Bear Ridge in the Seed Division, most of his Western Army broke up and fled because the reward did not arrive. If it weren't for Wang Song's rescue, the family army would have been wiped out long ago.
In Funiuling, east of the river, the Song soldiers who guarded the natural danger were just because they ate a little poorly, and they were old grains instead of fine grains, so they abandoned the pass and fled, and lost the natural danger to the Jurchens. As a result, the Jurchens occupied the Xiongguan without spending a single soldier, and let the people under their rule fall under the iron cavalry of the Jurchens.
No wonder Wanyan Zonghan sighed at the pass: "Such a majestic pass, he retreated without a fight, and the Southern Dynasty can be said to be unmanned!"
The loyal and righteous army under Wang Song has strict military discipline, strict discipline, strict training, and clear rewards and punishments.
Originally, most of these people were outlaws, indulgers, and murderers from all over the world, so they could obey orders and teach without daring to disobey them, and the Lord relied on the strict military discipline of the loyal and righteous army and the power of swords, axes, and clubs.
What Zhiyuexiu can't see is the hard work and blood behind Wang Song. At the beginning of training, I don't know how many heads of slippery and treacherous people I have chopped off, and Wang Song doesn't know how many times I can't sleep with pain and headaches, so I can correct these people step by step.
"Brother Deng, the supplies of the soldiers can't keep up, and they lack food and clothing, have they ever complained?"
Zheyuexiu secretly exclaimed and asked.
"What are they complaining about!"
Deng Shixiong shook his head and said: "In the ranks of the rebels, there should be as much money as possible, and there will never be more, nor will there be less than a penny." Everyone eats the same, even the big officials. Moreover, the big officials often give more to the brothers who are too poor, and the little lady thinks too much. ”
"Fold the little lady, thank you so much!"
Deng Shixiong looked at Zheyuexiu and said, "I'll take you to the county to meet the officials now." He must be very happy to see you coming!"
Zhi Yuexiu's face turned red, but she couldn't help but feel a little sweeter in her heart.
Licheng County is just a small place, when Fanzi invaded at the beginning of the year, the county ordered self-immolation, and the whole family was poisoned by Fanzi. For several months, the county was in a state of chaos until Wang Song's loyal army came.
As the leader of the Loyal Army, Wang Song lived in the barracks most of the time. However, under the special arrangement of Zhang Heng and Dong Ping, he sometimes lived in the county office of Licheng County.
After all, he is the commander of the first army, and if he lives in one place for a long time, he will inevitably be targeted by the enemy.
Wang Yan, the leader of the famous "Eight-Character Army" in history, and Zhai Xing's "Zhai Chief", even during the march, constantly changed their resting positions to avoid being attacked by the Jin.
From this point of view, the actions of Zhang Heng and Dong Ping are not untargeted. However, the Licheng battalion of the Loyal and Righteous Army, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, is almost harsh in the investigation, and it is more difficult for outsiders to get in than to ascend to the sky.
Although there are no pavilions and pavilions in this county, the dance pavilion and song platform have also been burned. But after a rest and cleaning by everyone, there is also a bit of the old look. A few into the courtyard, elegant and simple, the house is spacious and bright, but it is also a good place to stay.
However, he usually stays here for a short time. The rebel army went up and down, eating, drinking, lazing, and living, so many things, plus Licheng County and Guzhen gathered for two or three hundred miles, and they always had to waste a lot of time on the road.
But there's no way around it. Now he is the leader of the rebel army in Hedong, but Wu'an County belongs to Hebei West Road, but who made the ironmaking there prosperous.
"Great official, now that the Loyal and Righteous Army is on the rise, there seems to be nothing for you to worry about!"
When Deng Shixiong walked into the back hall, Wang Song was worried in the back hall.
"Big official, look at your frowns, is there something wrong?"
Deng Shixiong has a calm temperament and is extremely thoughtful. He is now in charge of the entire logistics and baggage, as well as the affairs of the gunpowder factory and the ironware factory, transporting weapons from Hebei and loading the earth-shaking thunder in the gunpowder factory, all of which he arranged by himself.
Wang Song values him so much, and he also knows that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he works very hard.
Wang Song smiled helplessly and said softly: "Brother Xian, it's not that I have something in my heart, but something big will happen soon." We, brothers, I'm afraid we're going to fight again!"
Deng Shixiong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Big official, do you mean that Fanzi is going south again?"
Wang Song nodded and said: "Fanzi has never retreated, it has always been summer and winter!" Taiyuan is surrounded by layers of Fanzi, and it is already a lonely city! Now it's August, the weather is getting cooler, I think Fanzi is about to go south, this time not only Taiyuan, I'm afraid the Great Song Dynasty will destroy the country!"
Deng Shixiong saw that Wang Song's brows were tightly locked, and he was also concerned, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Wang Song couldn't help but feel full of emotion in his heart. What kind of role can his own five or six thousand recruits play? Fanzi's hundreds of thousands of iron horses, can they be blocked? Do you really want to experience the shame of Jingkang for yourself?
The sea is full of white bones, the people are displaced, those women who were taken captive and humiliated, those loyal and good who were mutilated by Fanzi, and the blood and tears of those ordinary Han people, are the Han people going to suffer another catastrophe and be driven back to the south of the Yangtze River and Huaishui?
Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty still has to experience a hundred years of war with the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia? The blood of the children of the Great Song Dynasty will be sprinkled from the loess of Guanshaan, the Shushan of the Qinling Mountains, to the Central Plains of Heluo, the coast of Jianghuai, and to the Yashan by the sea?
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you invite the little lady to come in!"
Deng Shixiong woke up like a dream and hurriedly ran out.
"Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad. ”
When Zheyuexiu stepped into the courtyard, she heard Wang Song's sad voice reciting the poem "Man Jianghong", she couldn't help but be stunned, and then stopped.
"Jing Kang is ashamed, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed? Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky!"
Zheyuexiu's face was red and white for a while, and she only felt that the blood all over her body was burning. Looking at the back of the young man in Tsing Yi in front of him, he felt particularly tall and majestic.
Loyal and righteous people! O faithful man!
The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero. Now that the national crisis is at hand, what is needed is such a strong man who is desperate!
At this time, Zhiyuexiu seemed to have forgotten that the young man looked at him with an unbridled gaze.
Ruthless may not be a true hero, only people with rich feelings and hot emotions will be loyal to the country and live up to the people.
"Big official, the little lady is here!"
Deng Shixiong said softly on the side, waking up Wang Song, who was immersed in meditation.
"Fold the little lady, please be seated. You're coming here in person this time, I'm afraid it's because of the fact that the Fanzi soldiers are pressing the realm, right?"
Wang Song said to Zheyuexiu with a smile. He nodded, and Deng Shixiong said goodbye and left.
"Wang Daguan, the song "Man Jianghong" you just made is generous and tragic, and it is amazing!"
Seeing Wang Song's gaze sweeping over, Zhi Yuexiu hurriedly looked away, lowered her eyes and said, "It's just that there is a doubt below, what is Jingkang's shame?"
"In the first year of Jingkang, the Jurchens went south and bullied me and no one in China! Everywhere he went, he burned, killed, looted, did all kinds of evil, besieged the city of Tokyo, and the imperial court was not allowed to pay compensation for the land. Today, the Jurchens are still attacking the city in Lianghe, and the people are displaced and miserable. In my Wang Song's opinion, this is the great shame of this dynasty, how can I, Wang Song, forget it!"
Zhi Yuexiu was excited, and blurted out: "Can the big officials give this song "Man Jianghong" to the little woman to be strong?"
"Why not!"
The guard presented the pen and ink, Wang Song waved it, and said with a smile: "I have been negligent in practicing the pen since I was a child, so that the little lady can laugh!"
He looked at his calligraphy from the dog to the duck's feet, and saw that Orizuki Xiu had carefully hidden the paper, and his heart was inexplicably rippling.
"The little lady came this time, she must have something important, right?"
